Chapter 56: The Black Wind Bandit (I)
The carriage runs on the bumpy mountain road, this section of the official road is in the middle of the mountains, the road conditions are very bad, there are potholes and gravel everywhere, the wooden wheels of the carriage are very bumpy on these gravel and puddles, and the people sitting in the carriage are also very uncomfortable.

The Han and Tang Dynasty 300,000 miles of rivers and mountains official road is the Chi Road extending in all directions, but the Han and Tang Dynasty Chi Road criss-cross, its length is far from 300,000 li so simple, although each county has a special person to maintain the road section, but some remote areas because of the difficult road, this official road has a long section in the mountains, it is very inconvenient to maintain, there are many official roads in disrepair and rugged, and this official road of the Black Wind Mountain is exactly like this.
And this Black Wind Mountain is not only rugged and difficult to travel, but also the name of this Black Wind Mountain is even more famous, for the same reason, there are many martial arts biographical novels in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and most of the bandit dens are called Black Wind Village, and this Black Wind Mountain is naturally related to bandits, of course, flies do not bite seamless eggs, this Black Wind Mountain is indeed a place where bandits are rampant, according to the estimation of the Han and Tang Dynasty Governments, the number of bandits and robbers in this Black Wind Mountain is at least not less than 200,000 giants, hundreds of mountains of all sizes, and the number of people ranges from thousands to more than a dozen people, which can be said to be a real mixed placeMany caravans did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to go around and did not want to cross from the official road of the Black Wind Mountain, only those caravans with heavy guards dared to swagger through the mountains on both sides of the Black Wind Mountain, and took the nearest road to the land of the hundred sects.
And today is obviously a good day for the bandits of Black Wind Mountain, at least Jiang Chen thinks so, because according to common sense, the best choice for a caravan like Jiang Chen and Qingyunmen is to spend a little more money to go around Black Wind Mountain, so as not to be robbed by the Black Wind Mountain bandits, and there are not even a pair of pants left, but obviously this time there are two alternative caravans in Black Wind Mountain, so that the Black Wind Mountain bandits who have not opened foreign meat for a long time can open foreign meat.
Jiang Chen sat in the carriage, and the slightly unsheathed seven-star dragon abyss sword was placed next to Jiang Chen, revealing a small section of the seven-star dragon abyss's peak was exuding bursts of cold air, so that Li Mu, who was sitting opposite Jiang Chen, was also slightly frightened by this Confucian treasure in Jiang Chen's hand.
"Last year, King Taiding sent troops to encircle and suppress Black Wind Mountain. Jiang Chen asked while touching the little head of the dog leftover in his arms, although it seemed that the inquiry was very casual, but the keen perception of the general Shen quietly connected the movements around him, and there were so many figures in the dense forest around him that Jiang Chen also felt a little tricky.
At this time, all the people in the Qingyunmen and Jiang Chen's shadow guard caravan were very nervous, and the guards and disciples in Qingyunmen had already pulled out the long swords in their hands one after another, forming a tight formation to guard the caravan around, moving forward unhurriedly, except for the young martial arts realm powerhouses of Qingyunmen other than the trailing pupils, they all walked out one after another, and the carriages of the carriage were on guard one by one as if they were facing a great enemy, Tang Wangchen was even more alone with a sword, standing directly on the top of the carriage at the head of the Qingyunmen caravan, holding a heavy sword that was one inch wide and more than four feet long, even if it was compared to Jiang Chen's seven-star Longyuan sword, the weight was not much more, a body of momentum is outgoing, but also extremely domineering, a body of martial arts momentum is also very outstanding among the younger generation, and in time it will inevitably be a strong man in the Qingyunmen Martial Arts Realm.
In the Shadow Guard caravan led by Jiang Chen, all the Shadow Guard sergeants disguised as caravan guards were holding spears and sharp blades to keep a tight guard against the outside, and Meng Wu was even holding two big axes, riding a tall horse with dozens of heavily armored cavalry at the forefront of the team, leading the entire caravan to move forward quickly at any time with the attitude of a pioneer.
In Jiang Chen's carriage, Li Mu replied to Jiang Chen: "Last year, Cao Chen, one of the generals under the command of His Royal Highness King Taiding, led 100,000 elite border troops to encircle and suppress the bandits in this Black Wind Mountain, which lasted more than three months, and the 100,000 border army lost 23/10, and killed at least 80,000 bandits in the Black Wind Mountain, logically speaking, the bandits in the Black Wind Mountain have lost nearly half, and it will be difficult to recover their strength in a few years, but now it seems that the bandits in this Black Wind Mountain are not only 200,000 as the outside world legend......
Jiang Chen looked at the dog leftover who was asleep in his arms, combed the dog leftover's hair quite dotingly, and asked Li Mu: "Say, why don't you continue." ”
Li Mu lowered his head slightly and said: "As the envoy of the Shadow Secret Guard North Town, although the thirteen states of the Southern Regions are not the territories I am responsible for, I should also have some insight, but now I don't even know how many bandits there are in this Black Wind Mountain, it is a serious dereliction of duty by my subordinates, please punish my son." ”
"Hmph!" Jiang Chen snorted lightly, but he didn't blame Li Mu, just said lightly: "Since you know your mistake, you have to correct it, just this time, not for example, we are now surrounded by at least thousands of mountain bandits, but we don't know the specific actual number of enemies, even a general number, isn't this a ridiculous thing for hundreds of thousands of shadow guards who are all over the world?"
Li Mu kowtowed in front of Jiang Chen and said, "My subordinates understand that as soon as they pass this Black Wind Mountain, their subordinates will arrange for a thorough investigation of Black Wind Mountain immediately, and they will sort out the intertwined forces of this Black Wind Mountain, register and make a record, and there will never be today's situation again." ”
"Hmm. Jiang Chen said: "I hope so, if there is a next time, you can take off your black gauze hat yourself." ”
"Oh! My subordinates understand. Li Mu said respectfully to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded and stopped talking, just frowning slightly, constantly paying attention to the movements around him.
In fact, Jiang Chen is indifferent to indifference, what he said just now seems to be a reproach to Li Mu, but it is not. The Shadow Guards are all carefully selected elites from the 13 million armies of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the priority of their personnel selection is even higher than that of the Imperial City Guards Tiger Ben Army, as the shadow troops of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Shadow Guards need not only people with strong martial arts, but also absolute loyalty to the Han and Tang Empires, and not loyalty to the country, but loyalty to the Han and Tang royal families, to put it bluntly, the Shadow Guards are more similar to the private army of the Han and Tang royal families to a certain extent, and the Shadow Guards of all dynasties are all members of the royal family, at least people who are inextricably linked with the royal family, such as the former commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, Python Whip Lin, whose mother is a princess of the Han and Tang royal families, that's why Jiang Wuling handed over such an important force as the Shadow Secret Guard to him, and Jiang Chen was the Nine Emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties to be qualified to take charge of the Shadow Secret Guard.
As for the loyalty of the Shadow Secret Guard, Jiang Chen would never doubt it, and ordering Li Mu to correct his mistakes would not cause Li Mu's disgust, because Li Mu's loyalty made it easy for Li Mu to face up to his mistakes.
At this time, Jiang Chen was closing his eyes to recuperate, everything around him was in Jiang Chen's perception, when a dark cloud in the sky covered the dazzling sun and darkened the earth, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, Jiang Chen's eyes erupted with a shocking cold light, and the cold aura emitted from the blade of the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword also seemed to be connected with the master's mind in an instant, and instantly transformed into a burst of murderous aura.
"It's coming!" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, although the voice was deep, but it was sonorous and powerful, so that Li Mu in front of him was also for a while, and the dragon pattern ring head knife in Li Mu's hand was also half unsheathed under Li Mu's urging, reflecting the shining cold light.
Just as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the two caravans stopped at the same time, which Jiang Chen had already expected in his heart. I only heard Jiang Chen in the carriage say lightly: "Those people are going to make a move, if I guess correctly, those people who snooped on us along the way are the masters in this Black Wind Mountain." ”
Li Mu didn't speak, just nodded, his eyes were very solemn.
In front of the people of Qingyunmen, at this time, a 10,000-pound boulder completely blocked the way of the caravan, and the boulder was completely impassable on the official road that was not spacious in the mountain, although the mountains on both sides were not steep, but people could pass, and the carriage obviously could not pass, that is to say, the way forward now has been blocked.
Tang Wangchen, who was standing on the roof of the carriage shed, frowned, the cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he flew away, and the heavy sword weighing a hundred catties in his hand suddenly swung out, and a sword qi more than two zhang long took advantage of the situation, slashing towards the 10,000-jin boulder.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the sword qi slammed into the 10,000-jin boulder, but when the smoke and dust dissipated, Tang Wangchen couldn't help gritting his teeth, the texture of the 10,000-jin boulder was extremely hard, and Tang Wangchen's martial spirit-level powerhouse only left a deep sword mark on the boulder, and the boulder did not move at all.
Tang Wangchen was shocked, but he was still very calm, knowing that something must be wrong, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Retreat!" Hearing Tang Wangchen's order, the disciples of Qingyunmen quickly turned around, wanting to go back and quickly get out of here, at the same time, Meng Wu also issued the same order, but the cruelty of reality quickly disappointed the two parties, only to hear a loud noise, behind the shadow guard caravan, a 10,000-jin boulder fell down, smoke and dust filled the sky, the earth shook, and even the horses were neighing and jumping restlessly.
As long as they are not idiots, they know that now they have been made into turtles in an urn and have been ambushed.
At this time, everyone saw that the figures in the mountains and forests on both sides were scattered, and the number was very large. Tang Wangchen stood on the roof of the car and shouted in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the three disciples under the head of the Qingyun Gate of the Lower Hundred Sects Alliance, Tang Wangchen, escort the goods of the sect back to the mountain gate this time, and please make it convenient for all the heroes, and if you have it in the future, you can inform you, okay?"
There was no sound in the mountains and forests on both sides to answer Tang Wangchen, which made Tang Wangchen clench the sword in his hand, guarding against any situation that might arise around him.
And at this moment, Jiang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, snorted coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die!"
I saw that from the mountains and forests on one side, a black light shot towards Jiang Chen's Mach at a very fast speed, facing the window of Jiang Chen's carriage, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be a giant crossbow arrow close to a zhang long, such an arrow was specially used for siege of the city, and even Wu Gong could be crucified under one blow.
The piercing sound of breaking the air alarmed everyone, including Tang Wangchen, who turned their heads to look at it, and even Tang Wangchen couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.
"Hmph!" Jiang Chen, who was in the carriage, simply snorted coldly, and then a hand quickly stretched out of the window, and at this time, the giant crossbow arrow had also reached the position of Jiang Chen's window, and then in the midst of people's incredible exclamations, I saw Jiang Chen's white and slender palm, tightly grasping the giant crossbow arrow, a metallic hoarse sound, and then the giant crossbow arrow weighing dozens of catties did not move in Jiang Chen's hand.
However, the four white horses pulled by Jiang Chen rang out a high-pitched neighing sound, and Jiang Chen sat down no less than two thousand pounds, and the carriage moved more than three feet horizontally, which shows how strong the impact of the crossbow arrow is.
Jiang Chen, who was in the carriage, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then the internal force gathered in the palm of his hand was violently released, and the crossbow arrow in his hand was shot back the same way again.
The black light flashed, only to hear a series of screams after another loud bang, and there was panic among the people in the middle of the mountain forest on one side.
In the carriage, Jiang Chen glanced at Li Mu, Li Mu understood, got out of the carriage, and said loudly to the surroundings: "Since you are here, come out and show up, my father-in-law has long heard that this Black Wind Mountain is full of rats with hidden heads and tails, do you really want my son to see the demeanor of all rats?"
Li Mu's question was very polite, and ordinary people sounded like a slap in the face. At this time, in the carriage of Qingyunmen Dao Pupil, Mrs. Lingxiao also got out of the carriage, and what came out behind her was the very terrifying mastiff dog of Dao Pupil and Winter Melon, Mrs. Lingxiao's eyes looked at the carriage where Jiang Chen was, but she didn't pay attention to the rats around her, but said loudly to Li Mu: "Your son's skills are so deep, Lingxiao, the sect master of the Qingyunmen Yu Sect of this family, dare to ask Your Excellency if your noble son can come out to see him, and he can also admire the demeanor of your noble son." ”
Mrs. Lingxiao's appearance was very sincere, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
Jiang Chen said coldly to Li Mu through the curtain: "No!"
Li Mu nodded in comprehension, and said to Mrs. Lingxiao: "It turned out to be the famous Mrs. Lingxiao of Qingyunmen, it is really disrespectful, my son-in-law occasionally feels the wind and cold, and it is not suitable to see the wind, and I ask Mrs. forgive me, my son-in-law will definitely come to the door to apologize in the future." Li Mu's tone was not silent, and he accented on the apology at the back, the meaning is self-evident, don't look for trouble.
Hearing Li Mu say this, almost everyone's faces were full of black lines, and everyone could see the blow just now clearly, how could such a skill be infected with wind and cold? Isn't this staring and talking nonsense?
