Chapter 178: Interception
Under a low hill, several tents have been set up, and the light inside is like fireflies under the night of the whole grassland, flashing and very conspicuous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cool breeze was blowing back and forth throughout the grassland, and the sound of the wind could be heard clearly in my ears, but it had never been clearer. Yang Xuanyu was lying on the green grass on his side, smelling the smell of wormwood on the tip of his nose, and next to him, staring at the flickering flames of the bonfire, it was the young man Hu Hanjing.
On the opposite side of them, Hu Hanjing's father, Hu Hancang, and several deacons in the tribe were talking in a low voice, with a sad face, as if something was not going well. Seeing Hu Hanjing's puzzled gaze, his father Hu Hancang smiled at him, and then walked towards them, carrying a pot of spirits in his hand.
"Little brother, can you drink some?" Hu Hancang directly shook the wine jug in his hand and said loudly at Yang Xuanyu.
Yang Xuanyu took it easily, without even frowning, he took a sip of it fiercely, and he was choked and coughed a few times. And Hu Hanjing was also holding a pot of spirits in his hand, but his alcohol consumption was not much worse than that of his father, although he was only sixteen years old, he already had a large amount of adult value.
"Dad, what are you discussing with a few uncles, why do you look so worried?" Hu Hanjing's face was slightly red, and he immediately asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are more robbers in this grassland area recently, and some of the goods have been detained in the two waves of caravans that have passed before, so I'm discussing with a few of your uncles, how to deal with this matter!" Although the middle-aged man had said it very lightly, Hu Hancang's brows had not been relaxed.
"Hmph, is it Ye Yuan and his gang again? Aren't they just coming at us?" Hu Hanjing snorted and said a little angrily.
"Who knows? they're a bunch of outlaws, with their heads pinned to their belts. Do they do less of this kind of thing?" Hu Hancang said with a shameful laugh.
"Uncle Huhan, don't these people have a tribe to punish them?" At this time, Yang Xuanyu, who was hearing the current situation on the side, couldn't help but ask after all.
"You underestimate them too much, although they are outlaws, but it doesn't mean that they don't want to die, Ye Yuan's group is average in strength, but there is still eyesight, he will never provoke the tribe that he can't provoke, he is a bully who picks soft skin. And there are even times when there are wars between tribes. They are also involved, this kind of people are like plasters, where there is interest, they will rub where they are, as long as they are eyeing you. Tear it off and it's a layer of skin. So a tribe as small as ours won't miss this opportunity!" Hu Hancang sneered.
"Oh, what is their strength?" Yang Xuanyu said. Asked again.
"Except that Ye Yuan himself is in the middle of the Guyuan period. There are also five helpers in the early stage of the Guyuan, and there are also some high-level followers who follow them, robbing everywhere, notorious! The most important thing is that they have no worries, unlike a tribe like us, which is too implicated. The first thing to consider is the safety of the clan!" Hu Hanjing suddenly interjected.
"Oh, then how did they notice you, didn't we go a long way?" Yang Xuanyu wondered again.
"It's useless to go farther, they're afraid they'll already find out where we're doing. Now my biggest concern is that they have saved our goods, if they just want to bully us. It's not impossible to be patient!" Hu Hancang was silent for a moment, and then said slightly discouraged.
"Dad, didn't we come out this time with two uncles from the early stage of Guyuan! I don't believe that they really want to intercept us, unless they are going to leave a few lives!" Hu Hanjing's resolute face on the side showed a cold and handsome look.
"Hey, let's act tomorrow! Xiao Jing will hide behind when the time comes, if the situation is not right, quickly split up and run back, although Gu Yuan Dan is very important, but compared to your life, it is still insignificant!" Hu Hancang said softly, and then turned around and walked into his tent, leaving Hu Hanjing full of unwilling expressions behind him.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xuanyu got up from his cultivation and walked out of the tent, at this time, the sky was full of stars like a chess game covering the entire night sky, the sheng song went with the wind, and a lone lamp illuminated the blue night. Yang Xuanyu suddenly found that at some point, Hu Hanjing was standing alone outside his tent, sitting alone next to the bonfire, looking uneasy.
"Brother Huhan is still not sleeping, it's almost dawn!" Yang Xuanyu walked up to him, sat down too, and asked quietly after adding another branch to the bonfire.
"Little brother Xuanyu, where can I still sleep, I have been following my father to deliver goods for several years, and I have experienced too many things in the past few years. My father is busy for the tribe all year round, getting up early and greedy for the reward after transporting goods, and it is not easy for a tribe like ours to survive, sometimes I even think, how good it would be if I were alone, I have no worries, but now I can't see the end of this kind of life, even if I succeed in Guyuan? I have to run around for the tribe!" Hu Hanjing said slowly with a somewhat helpless and lonely tone.
In fact, I am also the son of a family, and there are many children in my family, although they are very harmonious with each other, but no one wants to be the last one, so we all work hard to cultivate, and even take risks in order to progress faster, but in the final analysis, what is it for? Now I feel that it is dark and dark, and I feel that I can't live all day long, but there will always be a day when the clouds will open and see the moon, shouldn't we fight for this day! As the son of the tribal leader, you can't escape the responsibility of strengthening the tribe, instead of blindly complaining, it is better to take the initiative to make suggestions and improve your strength as soon as possible, in fact, in the final analysis, strength is the king!" Yang Xuanyu thought for a while before he said seriously.
Hu Hanjing heard Yang Xuanyu say this, but he fell into a deep thought, and soon after, a flash of hope flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Yang Xuanyu and said very sincerely: "What you said is indeed right, it is my way to be too negative, I should take the initiative to fight for my future!"
When the wind blows, is it praise, or is it ridicule? It's just that this sincere state of mind is unshakable regardless of the wind and clouds.
Early in the morning of the second day, under the leadership of Hu Hancang, a total of more than 20 people continued to rush to the north, but I don't know if it was for vigilance, Hu Hancang deliberately reduced the speed by a few points, so after walking for about two hours, he only crossed a few hills.
But just as they were about to cross another hill, more than a dozen figures jumped up the hill from the other side in front of them, and the first one was extremely thin, but his eyes were very sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, and he was wearing a robe and looked at Hu Hancang and the others with a gloating look.
"Ye Yuan, it's really you!" Hu Hancang said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Hehe, Hu Hancang, where are you going, and what are you transporting behind here?" Ye Yuan said with a hint of contempt, his arms crossed in front of him, and he looked at them with interest.
"Ye Yuan, the Ming people don't say dark words, who doesn't know your thoughts, I'm afraid you've been eyeing this batch of goods for a long time! Why make such a hypocritical appearance!" Hu Hancang said coldly.
"Since you know, according to the old rules, let's take out half of it, otherwise it will be in vain for you to run in vain!" Ye Yuan said lightly with the corners of his mouth curled.
"If it had been before, I might have really agreed, but this batch of goods is specially ordered by the Northern Regions Floating Heaven Gate, and you are not afraid of setting yourself on fire?" Hu Hancang sneered.
"So, do you disagree?" Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his face calmed down, and beside him, five men in the early stage of Guyuan stepped out at the same time, and the unique vitality on his body emerged, and there was a momentum of saber rattling for a while.
Hu Hancang's face was very ugly, and although the two men of the same age beside him also exuded the unique Yuan power of the Guyuan Realm, they were obviously a few points weaker than the place.
"In this way, let's see if the contents can offset half of the value of this batch of goods!" Hu Hancang was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out a storage bag from his arms, and threw it directly to the other party without thinking about it.
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed, he stretched out his hand to take the storage bag, and then opened it to take a look inside, his face showed a little surprise and surprise, but then he directly put the storage bag into his arms, but laughed twice, and then replied with a little bad intentions: "You are really honest enough, but since you gave me these things, then you are welcome." But I still say the same thing, you still have to keep half of this goods, otherwise none of you will want to leave!"
"You!" Hearing this, Hu Hancang's face swelled up with a little anger, and his fists clenched unconsciously, as if he was holding back the anger in his heart.
"What's the matter, I'm also doing this for your own good, even if I don't want all your goods, I am worthy of you, you should thank me for my kindness!" Ye Yuan's eyes were like hooks, looking at Hu Hancang's anger, but he said even more sarcastically. (To be continued.) )
