Chapter 13: Accidents are the norm
After the caravan was slightly repaired at Weize Pass, it embarked on the journey again, and from there it was only a hundred miles north, and the caravan entered the Hengshan Mountain Range, which was also the junction of the actual control area of the Qin State and the border of the Zhao State, and it was also the most chaotic area.
Here, there are the remnants of the Qin State back then, and the Lin Hu and Lou Fu Hu people who had to flee into the mountains and forests under the blows of the Zhao State.
Here, there are even traces of the activities of the werewolves.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the caravan that wants to enter the northern border of Zhao through here has to spend a lot of money to hire guards to ensure that they have the bargaining power when they encounter bandits, and even the ability to give it a go when the negotiations break down.
In the end, she suffered the loss of age, so that the Snow Girl, who forgot her original intention and was taken down by the Purple Girl, leaned on the Purple Girl's arms, and her eyes were curiously swaying on the cliffs on both sides.
The scenery in winter is really not very good, it is the season when everything is dead and silent, but it is also in this season that I have another thing, that is, the natural sound of heaven and earth.
The Snow Maiden listened attentively to the roars of birds and beasts from the mountains and forests, and her little face was full of leisure.
"You little guy is a bit like my family's Langyu, they all like to listen to the sounds of heaven and earth, nature, and all things." The purple girl pinched the snow girl's face with a very good touch, and said with a smile.
"Who is Langyu?" Snow Girl, who already had a lot of patience for the Purple Girl, let the Purple Girl pinch her face and asked curiously.
"One of my younger sisters is about the same age as your brother." The purple girl said, but her eyes were already on Yang Ming, who was carrying a bow and arrows.
"Yang Ming, after this mission is completed, are you interested in going to South Korea with me, and I will introduce you to Langyu when the time comes." The purple light flashed in the purple girl's eyes, and she still had a bit of a girlish heart, and she didn't know what interesting things she had thought of at this time.
"No, no." Yang Ming shook his head and refused.
Korea, the weakest country of the Seven Kingdoms, what did he go there to do, he had no future at all, and his goal was only one from beginning to end, and that was the State of Qin.
Anyway, he only has one life to sell, and since he wants to sell his life, he naturally has to sell it to the strongest one.
"Don't be so busy refusing." The purple girl said half-truthfully, but her gaze was already fixed on the mountain road ahead.
On the mountain road ahead, there were two more fences where there should not have been human traces, and the robbers really appeared.
The big businessmen from South Korea, under the protection of the guards hired by the big money, have stepped forward to negotiate with the bandits.
After some haggling, the fence was pushed open and the caravans passed by.
In the next three days, the caravan encountered two more bandits who robbed the road, but fortunately there was no rush, the thieves were only for money, and they also knew how to be sustainable, and they knew that such a thing as fishing was not suitable for doing everything.
Just when the people of the caravan thought that they were about to get out of the Hengshan Trade Road smoothly, an unexpected accident happened.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, a ray of sunlight poured down on the valley, injecting some warmth into the cold weather, but the sudden appearance of bandits made the hearts of the caravan sink to the bottom.
Because this time it turned out to be Hu people, and what is even more troublesome is that there is more than one group of these Hu people, there are hundreds of people.
"That's not right." The purple girl standing in the car looked solemnly at the businessman who was negotiating with the Hu people in front of her, and a trace of uneasiness gradually grew in her heart.
"Those Hu people come from different tribes?" Yang Ming, who jumped into the carriage, looked at the scene ahead and saw a trace of abnormality.
"Although the Hu people are collectively known as the Hu people, there are still various tribes within it, and there are still great differences between the various tribes. The purple girl analyzed, and her hand had already touched her waist.
"What is it that can make them put aside their hatred and unite?" The purple girl said, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious.
The negotiations ahead were really not optimistic, and the big Korean merchant with the heaviest proportion of goods in the caravan had already stepped forward at this time, arguing with the Hu people under the protection of several guards.
"Protect your sister, this matter can't be good." The purple girl jumped as she spoke, and had already jumped onto the carriage in front of her, and after dozens of consecutive vertical jumps, the purple girl had already come to the front row from the center of the caravan.
"Senpai, don't go." Just as the Korean businessman was about to enter the Hu people's team to negotiate with the leader of the other party, the purple girl loudly stopped the other party.
Seeing that his plan to lure the other party's leader into the palace had been destroyed, Hu Ren simply stopped acting like this, and opened his bow and arrows one by one, and before the Korean businessman had time to react, countless arrows were fired towards him and the guards around him.
The purple girl couldn't take care of it at this time, and the whole person turned into a purple afterimage, rushed forward, the silver light in her hand flashed, and a whirlpool rolled up in the air, blocking one arrow after another.
And the few guards hired by Qi Shang were not so lucky, although his martial arts were good, but under the dense rain of arrows, although he blocked one arrow after another, there were still arrows that hit their bodies, and in an instant, several people had fallen in a pool of blood.
Fortunately, the purple girl's martial arts were strong enough, and I saw the purple girl dancing with the sword with one hand, and the other hand grabbed the arm of the Korean businessman and retreated to the rear.
"What the hell is going on? It's not the first time I've dealt with these Hu people, and they've all gone well before, so why did they turn their faces this time? The Korean businessman who was dragged back to the convoy by the purple girl said in horror.
Fang Cai, he was almost shot as a hedgehog.
"I don't know, but in this situation, it's better to run away." The purple girl said.
"Run? What about these goods? The Korean businessman asked.
"At this time, life matters, only life is still there, how much money can be earned back, life is gone, everything is over." The Purple Girl sighed.
It seems that Zi Lanxuan's plan is going to be postponed again, Zi Nu sighed in her heart, this time the loss is a bit heavy, and it may take two years to make up for the loss.
The Korean businessman is still hesitating, but the purple girl can't take care of him anymore, and her previous reminder and rescuing the other party under the rain of arrows are already benevolent.
But the next moment, the big Korean businessmen couldn't hesitate, because one after another Hu people had appeared on the mountains on both sides, and beside them, there were huge stones one after another.
"Let's go." The Korean businessman no longer cares about the goods, and he orders in pain.
But now it's too late, one by one the boulders were pushed down the mountain by the Hu people, and the boulders became the most terrifying killing weapon in the world at this time under the blessing of inertia.
For a while, the screams were incessant, both human and horse.
Some people are smarter and hide under the carriage for the first time, hoping to escape, but are they really smart?
Only the purple girl moved around among the boulders, exerting her light skills to the extreme, and at this time she knew very well that Hu Ren was not only here for money this time, but also for killing.
Only by escaping can there be any possibility of survival.
