Chapter 201 Yingtai County, the road is ambushed
Not long after Yunyuan and the others left, Zhao Ya and his party also set off on the road.
The two convoys went in the same direction, one after the other.
Because the speed of the convoy is basically the same, the distance between the two sides is about three or five miles.
In the first two days, Yunyuan was still a little nervous, thinking that Zhao Ya was deliberately following him, until he saw Zhao Ya and they didn't make any movement at all, and they had been quietly hurrying, and their hanging hearts were relaxed.
In this way, four days later, they left Fengwei County and entered the jurisdiction of Yingtai County.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the emperor built Yingtai here to welcome the immortals.
Although the legend has long been lost, the name has survived and has been passed down to this day.
When Dayan was strong, the royal family would send special people to the old site of Yingtai every year to worship.
But with the fall of imperial power, the situation in the world gradually collapsed, and this kind of sacrifice naturally ended long ago.
The once lively site of Yingtai also became deserted, and was eventually covered with wild grass.
So when Zhao Ya and the others came to the old site of the world-famous Yingtai, they couldn't help but be disappointed by the drunken children who had been yearning for this place.
"What, didn't you say that Yingtai is high in the sky? The result is a big dirt platform? Drunken muttered.
Shang Luoluo smiled when he heard this, "Who told you that this Yingtai is high in the sky?" In fact, according to ancient records, at the beginning of the construction of this Yingtai, that is, the highest time, it was only a hundred zhang. ”
"Huh? So short, how can you welcome the legendary immortals? Drunken said with a disappointed face.
"Do you think, since you are an immortal, you will definitely fly, in that case, isn't the height and low of this Yingtai built the same?" Shang Luoluo explained with a smile.
Zui'er tilted his head, thought seriously for a moment, and then said with a sudden face: "What you said makes sense! ”
Then she looked at Zhao Ya on the side, "Brother Xiaoya, do you think that's the case?" ”
Zhao Ya's face was full of helplessness.
This stupid girl can be really stupid sometimes.
The key Shang Luoluo is also very willing to tease her, often saying some specious things to deceive her, and the drunk still eats this set.
"I don't think it's an altar to welcome the immortals at all, but a trap." Zhao Ya said simply.
"Trap?" The drunken child was even more confused.
Shang Luoluo was also a little surprised, "Why do you say that?" ”
"What do you think, what kind of characters are the ancient emperors? If, according to the legend, the strongest person is an existence that can transcend heaven and earth, how could such a character build an altar in order to cater to the immortals? ”
"So I think it's more like a trap than an altar, and if any immortals dare to land here, they will be greeted not by incense and candle offerings and people's prostrations, but by blades and bloody killings."
Zhao Ya's words are not casual nonsense, because this world does have a legend about the last ancient emperor who is peerless.
Therefore, in Zhao Ya's opinion, how could an existence that could do such a great deed build a sacrifice platform to cater to the immortals?
After listening to Zhao Ya's words, the drunk was fine, which was also because she didn't understand it too much.
Shang Luoluo's expression changed, and then he lowered his head and pondered, obviously touched by Zhao Ya's words.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Ya with admiration on her face.
"Your idea is really novel enough, it may sound a little ridiculous at first glance, but if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, and it is teachable."
Shang Luoluo solemnly thanked Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya smiled, "I just said it casually, and this is all from ancient legends, so it can't be true." ”
"Even so, this is a rather novel perspective, but it's a pity that the world is in chaos now, if this is set aside in the previous peaceful years, with the idea you proposed, it is enough to occupy a place in the exegesis world."
"Forget it, I don't want to be an old man who spends all day digging through old papers."
"Then why do I like to delve into ancient books? Old woman? Shang Luoluo said with a smile.
She regretted it a little when she said this.
Because it's too explicit.
Zhao Ya just said that he was an old man, and then he said that he was an old woman.
Isn't this a couple?
Just as Shang Luo's face was flushed, Zhao Ya didn't pay attention to these at all.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he flew to a big tree by the side of the road, looking into the distance.
His sudden move also startled everyone.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
When people were in shock, the sharp-eyed guards also found the clue and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's the caravan ahead!"
"There's a strongman robbing the caravan in front!"
Really.
When everyone stared at each other, they saw that three or four miles ahead, the caravan that had been walking in front was surrounded by a group of strongmen dressed in green, and they were already fighting.
At this moment, the guards couldn't help but change color, and many people's hands trembled slightly.
Many of them had never seen such a scene at all, and their hearts were naturally terrified.
Fortunately, the previous guard commander was a man who had seen the world, so he quickly calmed down, first restrained his subordinates sharply, and asked them not to mess up, and then asked Zhao Ya, who had fallen to the ground.
"Master Zhao, what should we do now?"
"Defend yourself!" Zhao Ya said without hesitation.
The commander of the guard was stunned.
He originally thought that after seeing this scene, Zhao Ya would definitely lead everyone to rush up to help that caravan.
Because it's also self-preservation.
If you wait for this group of strongmen in green to pop up out of nowhere to eliminate the guards of the caravan, and then turn their heads against their own side, then they will be too alone.
Zhao Ya also saw his doubts, but he didn't explain, but immediately ordered these guards to surround the carriage into a circle.
These carriages have been modified with a layer of iron to withstand arrows, making them the best cover for critical moments.
Shang Luoluo, drunken Er, Shang Jingchuan and others were protected at the core of the car rim.
The guards were on guard on the perimeter.
After all this was done, Zhao Ya explained to the guard commander and these guards.
"This gang of strongmen is no ordinary bandits, as far as I can see, they must have come straight to that caravan."
Zhao Ya's inference is not unfounded.
As the first person to discover the anomaly, he noticed the anomaly of this group of strongmen in green for the first time.
The first is that the clothes they wear are too new and too uniform.
This alone shows that they are no ordinary bandits.
Because even if it is as strong as Qingzhuling, its minions cannot reach the point of having a uniform per person.
Only important people have this qualification.
Secondly, the strength of this group of people is extremely strong, just by a glance, Zhao Ya found that there were several Four Realm martial artists among them, and the rest also had the strength of the Three Realms.
If this group of bandits has this strength, they don't dare to say that they will change the dynasty, at least they will win a city.
So Zhao Ya immediately realized that these people should be running for this caravan, or even for that man.
In such troubled waters, of course Zhao Ya was unwilling to wade in.
After listening to Zhao Ya's analysis, including the commander of the guards, these guards all had a sudden look on their faces.
The guard commander gave a thumbs up and said: "Or Zhao Ye, you are amazing, you just took a few glances and found so many problems, if you rush forward just now, then wouldn't we be wronged?" ”
Zhao Ya didn't say anything, but kept observing the situation ahead with all his attention.
If it was true that other caravans were attacked by bandits, then Zhao Ya would not hesitate to help.
But this kind of thing is different, if you don't know the details of it and act rashly, it will really become the big injustice that the guard commander said.
Just as Zhao Ya's side stood still, waiting for the changes.
Yunyuan has been cornered.
Especially when he saw with his own eyes that the Four Realms martial artists given by his grandfather were besieged and killed, his psychological defense line completely collapsed.
"Yun Er, I'm your brother anyway, do you really dare to do this ruthlessly?" Yun Yuan scolded.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Yun Yuan also knew that his half-brother would definitely not appear.
After all, this kind of thing is done in secret, but if it is put on the surface, no matter how much the old man Yun does not care about things, he will kill him with his own hands.
But the more this is the case, the more Yunyuan's heart sinks.
From the moment he saw that they really dared to kill his guards, Yun Yuan knew that he would not be spared today.
Because his younger brother Yun Hao is clearly here to kill people.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money to use so many martial arts masters.
"Young Master, let's go!"
This seemingly inconspicuous Lao Ding is actually a martial artist of the Four Realms, and under his hard work, he actually killed a bloody path, and then dragged Yunyuan to leave.
Because of his completely lifeless style of play just now, this group of strongmen was intimidated by its power for a while, and they didn't dare to step forward.
Relying on this rare opportunity, Lao Ding dragged Yunyuan and stumbled out.
But at the moment when they were about to break out of the encirclement, a figure suddenly rushed diagonally and waved a palm at Lao Ding.
Although this old man was covered in injuries, in the face of this blow, he still roared angrily, and then desperately swung his fist to meet it.
Rumble!
The fists and palms struck each other, setting off a huge wave of sound.
Looking at this old man again, he was directly blasted out without even snorting, and fell to the ground with a plop, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Then I saw a person fall lightly in front of Yun Yuan.
This man was tall and as strong as an ox, and even in this cold early spring season, he was still naked, revealing his knotted veins and bulging muscles.
Not only that, but he was covered with tattoos, most of which were hellish ghosts, and even his neck and face were tattooed, which was daunting.
When he saw Yun Yuan with a sluggish expression, the tattooed strong man smiled.
"Yun Dashao, why do you want to leave in such a hurry?"
Looking at this strong man, Yun Yuan couldn't help but gasp, and his scalp was even more numb.
Because he knew this strong man.
This strong man is the deputy gang leader of the Four Seas Gang in the capital, named He Zhen, and he is a real half-step Five Realms master.
Moreover, the Four Seas Gang has a lot of influence in the capital, and it is even rumored that it has something to do with the Xuanyang Sect, one of the three sects, which can be described as a big tree with deep roots.
And He Zhen, as the deputy leader of the Four Seas Gang, has the strength of half a step and five realms, and can be called a well-known figure in the underground rivers and lakes of the capital.
Unexpectedly, this time Yun Hao actually spent a lot of money and moved this great god out.
Yun Yuan's heart instantly cooled in half, but he still forced himself to calm down.
"Gang Master He, no matter what conditions Yun Hao promised you, I am willing to pay double, what do you think?"
