Chapter 29: Green Willow Mountain
"But ......"
Luo Tianle scratched his head, and also felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Xu Anping's words.
If Xu Anping is really talented and has a good cultivation, as long as he shows it normally, he will immediately be valued by the sect and will definitely be able to obtain better resources, which will be extremely helpful for his next cultivation.
For example, he himself, after becoming an elder's personal disciple, the various resources he enjoyed were more than ten times better than when he was first promoted to a formal disciple, and it was even more different from when he was a miscellaneous servant, and his strength improvement speed had also improved.
In the long run, a higher status can bring better resource treatment, which can make one's martial arts path go further and allow oneself to have more ambitious prospects.
From the immediate point of view, the higher the status, the more people can admire and worship.
In other words, he couldn't figure out any reason to hide his strength and talent.
Even so, he still felt that something was wrong - Xu Anping's performance was too calm.
He vaguely remembered that when he glanced at it in a hurry and saw the bandit leader rushing towards Xu Anping, Xu Anping's eyes were calm, and he did not panic or be nervous in the face of a strong enemy at all.
In that case, unless you have a strong confidence in yourself, or you are born with a big heart, you are not moved by everything in the outside world, and you always stay calm.
In short, no matter which case it is, it shows that Xu Anping is indeed not simple.
"I felt right at the beginning."
"Xu Anping is by no means a mediocre person, he will definitely have good achievements in the future, and he is worthy of friendship."
Luo Tianle said secretly in his heart.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, then I have to rest early, I have a fight today, and I have been chasing in the forest for so long, and my body is really a little tired."
Seeing that Xu Anping took the initiative to get up to see off the guests, Luo Tianle had no choice but to stand up and resign.
……
Early the next morning.
Xu Anping and others had breakfast at the inn, and Deacon Wan arranged for his handymen to reload the goods, and left Lixiang Town before the morning sun had fully risen.
The convoy slowly moved north.
After about an hour, the group saw a series of mountains in the distance.
"Ahead is the boundary of the Green Willow Mountain."
Deacon Wan reminded.
"There are many bandits in this area, although many bandits are afraid of the power of my Xuanyue Gate, but there are always some outlaws who are not afraid of heaven and earth, maybe they will attack us, everyone must cheer up and be ready to deal with the attack of bandits at any time."
Hearing this, everyone who was already a little tired hurriedly cheered up and cautiously observed the left and right.
Green Willow Mountain is not just a single mountain, but a collective name for a group of mountains, where the terrain is complex, the mountain roads are staggered, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there have been many bandits entrenched in it since ancient times.
The imperial court has sent people to clear the Green Willow Mountain many times, but it is also difficult to wipe out all the bandit forces, even if it takes a lot of effort to clean it up, it will not be long before many bandits appear in the mountain.
As a result, the imperial court could only let it go.
Over time, Green Willow Mountain has become a place where bandits are entrenched, and it can be regarded as a well-known bandit nest in this area.
But here belongs to the traffic artery, to the east dozens of miles, is the capital of Qingyang Prefecture Jiangtangcheng, to the north is one of the well-known cities in Qingyang Prefecture Danfeng City, if you want to detour, you need to walk dozens of miles more, then maybe the danger is greater.
Therefore, even if many people know that there are many bandits in this area, they can only risk passing through here.
It didn't take long.
The convoy officially entered the boundary of the Green Willow Mountain, passing through the mountain road between the mountains.
The field of view on both sides is getting narrower and narrower.
The jungle beside the road was full of shadows, and everyone only felt that there seemed to be a lot of bandits hidden inside.
The breeze blew, and the branches and leaves made a slight rustling sound, and many people's hearts even raised their throats, for fear that a large number of vicious and vicious bandits with blades would suddenly rush out on both sides.
Under the orders of Deacon Wan, the convoy shrank considerably, and everyone seemed to be huddled together, but maintained a rather rapid pace.
Xu Anping's four people were still distributed in the four corners of the convoy, their eyes were cold, and the long sword in their hands was clenched, obviously ready to fight at any time.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sound came from the side of the road.
Many people's hearts jumped.
"Enemy attack!"
Some even screamed in horror.
Although Xu Anping and the four of them were not shocked, they turned their heads to look at it for the first time, only to see a few sparrows fluttering their wings and flying into the sky, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
"It turned out to be a sparrow, and it scared me."
In the convoy, someone patted his chest to calm his nervousness.
Deacon Wan walked quickly to the side of the miscellaneous servant who had been screaming in terror before, took out his long whip and whipped him fiercely, and rebuked angrily:
"What are you calling!"
"Even if there are bandits, there are adults to deal with, and you dare to disturb people's hearts here!"
The handyman fell to the ground in pain, and a patch of blood flowed through his clothes.
It turned out that this person was the same miscellaneous officer who had been seriously wounded in the battle yesterday afternoon, and his body had been quite weak after simply applying the wound medicine and bandaging the wound yesterday, which made him worry and fear the bandits far more than others.
In particular, this is the first time he has gone out with the team, and under extreme fear, his reaction just now will be so big.
Now, the seriously injured body was whipped mercilessly by Deacon Wan, and the two sword wounds that had not healed were torn open at once, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up for a while.
But Deacons don't care so much.
He didn't look at the whimpering handyman on the ground, turned his gaze to the others, and warned angrily: "If there is another person like him who shouts indiscriminately and disturbs people's hearts, I will not let it go so easily, go!" Keep moving! ”
The others were silent.
Seeing that the handyman on the ground had not yet gotten up, Deacon Wan whipped him mercilessly and said fiercely:
"Hurry up, or you'll die here."
The convoy continued to move at a high speed, and the handyman struggled for a long time and could not get up.
Deacon Wan drew the sword from his waist.
Xu Anping still watched his surroundings vigilantly, as if he hadn't seen this scene.
Luo Tianle glanced at the miscellaneous servants on the ground, and then at the deacon Wan who was indifferently holding the sword, and was silent for a moment, but did not say anything after all.
The life of a handyman is as humble as an ant.
What's more, the other party has been seriously injured and is just a burden in the team, even if he opens his mouth to save the other party, there is no way to let the other party survive.
He knew that Deacons were just taking the opportunity to get rid of the burden.
"Whew!"
The seriously wounded handyman finally stopped moving.
Deacon Wan also returned to the convoy and warned the others:
"I'll never give up on anyone on the team, but I'll never show mercy if someone makes a mistake."
"Keep going!"
