From Beiyang County to Snow Mountain County, you have to pass through Chongluan County, and in fact, these three counties are close to the border, and because of the terrain, each county occupies a huge area, Beiyang County is okay, but it is adjacent to the Snow Mountain, Chongluan County has a lot of mountains and complex terrain, fortunately, the three county capitals are very close to the border, which virtually adds a lot of security

In fact, the time chosen by the Yun family's caravan itself is also extremely appropriate, this time is the safest time here, along the way, the caravan servants of the Yun family itself are quite relaxed, but Xiao Zheng also knew last winter that there was almost no snow throughout the winter, so naturally, this is also the reason why the Yun family's caravan in Dahan wants to hire grandmaster-level masters

At least when starting from Beiyangcheng, everything is still very stable, and the great business of the Yun family is also reflected here, the beasts responsible for transportation are all strong rhinoceros with fast feet, this rhinoceros is used by the Great Song Dynasty as a means of saving manpower on the sea, but in fact, the characteristics of the strong rhinoceros are regarded as the best fast and large number of transport beasts, which is also one of the guarantees that can pass through Chongluan County and enter Snow Mountain County in five days, and after leaving the scope of Beiyang City, Steward Wang began to remind these Yun family servants to be vigilant, of course, this did not affect Xiao Zheng's understanding of this almost stark contrast between the galloping road and the primeval forest and the snow-capped mountains in the distance

The road is very wide, and the composition of the road is extremely simple, that is, sand and gravel, and on both sides of the road are all huge stones to prevent the occasional sudden ice and snow melt in summer from washing away the road, and even each distance has a specially set arch bridge setting, although it is simple but it is stronger, but it can also be seen that the people who leave this road are not frequent, especially the weeds on both sides of the road show that this road is rarely used, but Qin Wanru told Xiao Zheng that this road is extremely important, Often in winter, when the beast tide occurs, this galloping road is an important passage for the three counties to come and go and rescue each other

"Miss Qin, is this escort task so easy?"

"This is just the beginning, and the distance is not even a tenth of the way, the general must be too anxious!" Qin Wanru looked at Xiao Zheng lightly, but she was a little speechless in her heart, but this kind of task of escorting is extremely boring, and it is not a good thing whether there is danger or not

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just want to solve it quickly!"

"Oh, what the general means!" Qin Wanru asked in some surprise, as if she knew something about the meaning of Xiao Zheng's words

"Miss Qin also said before, the Yun family's caravans are all over the continent, although there are not many but definitely a lot, may I ask if every caravan will hire a grandmaster-level master to guard it!"

"Naturally not, the escorts are also divided into levels, besides, where are there so many grandmaster-level master escorts, even if you have money, it may not be feasible!"

"Miss Qin is right, that is, there are only four of us escorts this time because the two of us are students of the academy, if there are so many grandmasters in other places?"

"The general thinks that the Yun family must have gotten some news, so he will hire the grandmaster!" Qin Wanru was taken aback, if this was the case, then the risk of this journey would be unknown

"No matter what aspect it is, the most important thing for a caravan is safety, and how to determine this security naturally depends on the news, the Yun family is the family with the largest caravan size on the mainland, and the news will definitely not be bad, so there will definitely be problems along the way!"

"Actually, the route taken by the caravan is not dead, does the general know?"

"Uh, what do you mean?" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled

"If the safety of this caravan cannot be guaranteed, the chief of the caravan would rather take a detour than take this risk, and will not set off until it is sure that it is safe, unless there is any special requirement that must be done, otherwise safety is the most important thing for the caravan, especially a family like the Yun family, it should be more stable in this regard!"

"Miss Qin means that I think too much," Xiao Zheng looked at Qin Wanru a little depressed

"It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's that there will definitely be dangers, but the general's judgment is not wrong, maybe it's really the Yun family that got some rumors" Qin Wanru couldn't help but look at the long line ahead, first of all, there was no problem with this team, except for the guards dressed as the servants of the Yun family, there were no other idle people, but at this time, Qin Wanru also found some problems

"Shall we ask?"

"No, this is someone's family matter, we only need to act at a critical moment, just don't interfere, the Yun family is free of the Yun family's plan!"

"Oh! Xiao Zheng nodded, Qin Wanru's words should be listened to by herself, she is a beginner, so she has to study hard with this experienced person

"The general's combat skills are learned from the elders, doesn't the general even know a little thing about the rivers and lakes?" Qin Wanru suddenly spoke, but it was Xiao Zheng who asked

"Hehe, although I learned from my elders, my grandfather is a farmer, where can I recognize people on the rivers and lakes, it's impossible!" Xiao Zheng smiled, and his eyes didn't flicker when he made up the story, how true it was

"What, Miss Qin, is there anything wrong?"

"I asked my family, but there are not many masters on the mainland who have used guns as grandmasters in the past thousand years, and I have never heard of the general's marksmanship inheritance, so I am a little curious about the general's origin!"

"Is this how the children of your family casually investigate the details of others!" Xiao Zheng clasped his arms and said dissatisfiedly, but Qin Wanru said it to herself anyway, but she didn't feel much disgusted

"The general also investigated me, isn't it also clear that the investigation is clear!" Qin Wanru glanced at Xiao Zheng, which immediately made Xiao Zheng's face red

"Come and don't be rude, if it weren't for that Huangfu senior investigating me first and even spying on me, I wouldn't ask others to check his old background, you see Huang Zongxi and Lin Yunqing, I have never investigated, and besides, Miss Qin, your news is not something I want to deliberately investigate."

"The Emperor is investigating you!" Qin Wanru couldn't help frowning and said

"Yes, yes, just because the junior brother and the senior sister said a few more words, if you want to say that there is no unwarranted disaster, I am definitely a typical example!"

"The Huangfu family and the Qin family have a very good relationship, but what is he doing to spy on the general?"

"Who knows, anyway, I put all those servants back safe and sound, uh, did they come so soon!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Wan asked subconsciously, but soon, Qin Wanru understood what Xiao Zheng meant, but even Beiyang County hadn't gone out yet!

"There is an ambush! Use the car as a shield, hurry up and protect yourself!"

"Hurry up, hurry up and determine the ambush of the bandits, and prepare to fight back!"

Before Xiao Zheng and Qin Wanru could react, the caravan had already reacted quickly, and one by one they took out the excellent even archer crossbows of the Great Song Dynasty, even Xiao Zheng had to praise the Yun family's wealth, this military crossbow is said to cost a thousand taels of silver, and the military crossbow is available in all countries, but the Great Song Dynasty dares to sell it so expensive!

"This caravan reacts so quickly!" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sigh and said

"That's natural, these guards of the Yun family's caravan are all from domestic servants, not to mention the degree of closeness, and they are all specially invited to teach the basic battle formation by teachers from the Tang Imperial Academy, maybe not as good as the veterans who have been fighting all year round, but the equipment is not comparable to ordinary soldiers, you look at their clothes, they seem to be thin, but in fact, they all have soft armor inside!"

"Eh, it's impossible, how about soft armor" Xiao Zheng was completely unconvinced, when would the soft armor be able to equip everyone! How could this make Xiao Zheng calm

Qin Wanru glanced at Xiao Zheng and said lightly: "Although the general is from the Great Song Dynasty military, what the little woman said is not half a lie, all the top wealthy families are not like this!"

"Your Qin family too!" Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at Qin Wanru, but found that the two of them were so close at some point, and even the pores on Qin Wanru's face could be seen clearly

"Well, I didn't mean to" Qin Wanru's cheeks flew two blushes, her long eyelashes shook and then turned her head and didn't speak, let Xiao Zheng nervously explain, in fact, it is normal to be close now, the two of them have just come down from the big target carriage, and the ground is not so wide, plus the guards are all crowded in, the two of them are inevitably much closer

There was no movement for a long time, Xiao Zheng closed his eyes and released his spirit to perceive again, but he was suddenly slapped on the arm by Qin Wanru, and subconsciously stopped

"No need to probe, those bandits have already retreated!"

"It's gone!" Xiao Zheng was quite surprised, he couldn't see that these bandits were still very self-aware, but thinking about it, the Yun family caravan really had the confidence to walk on the mainland

"Ahem what just happened"

"It's okay before, and it's really forced by the situation!" Qin Wanru said lightly, as if she had forgotten the small accident that happened before!

"What happened just now, was there an ambush by bandits?" Xiao Zheng simply changed the topic

"It should be, but the bandit also depends on whether the target is easy to attack, like before, it should just be a temptation, and there are two possibilities for decisively retreating, either give up, or take a risk!"

"But this seems a little too simple!" Xiao Zheng couldn't help frowning and said

"That's right!" Qin Wanru nodded, turned around and got into the carriage

The caravan continued to move forward, but the speed inadvertently slowed down a lot, if the bandits really gave up, how could there be no one who came out to shout? Xiao Zheng didn't understand, but the people in the entire caravan knew that since they didn't deal with each other, it meant that the bandits and the Yun family didn't deal with each other, in short, the road after that would definitely not be easy!
