Chapter 20: Plucking Cliffs

After a while, it was dark, and as night fell, the whole caravan found a relatively large cave and settled down after a simple tidying up.

There will be many of these caves along the way, all of which have been manually polished and are specially prepared for these caravans.

Because the cave is small and easy to defend, it is loved by many caravans.

It was not yet completely dark, and everyone was sitting in front of the entrance of the cave, burning the fire, boiling vegetables, roasting dry food, and eating.

The same thing, these dishes come from the hands of two people, how big is the difference in taste.

Hanguang muttered in his heart, after eating the wild vegetable soup made by Menghua that day, eating the soup made with vegetables today is not so delicious. Menghua, who was sitting next to Hanguang, was also silently pondering, not knowing what she was thinking.

Huang Shiren walked over, and he still didn't know the origin and background of Hanguang. But when I saw it on the road today, Hanguang and Menghua kept talking and laughing, and they were bumpy all the way, and they didn't feel tired or tired, which aroused Huang Shiren's strong curiosity. Although Hanguang was wearing the most ordinary cloth clothes, it didn't make people despise Hanguang a little. In this world, there are many people who pretend to be a beggar even though they are a big man......

"Where are you coming from, and where are you going?" Huang Shiren walked over, found a stone and sat down, and asked with a smile: "In my opinion, the two of you don't seem to care about these little money......

Hanguang smiled and said, "You're welcome, my family lives in Hancheng, and I'm away on the journey, and I'm anxious to go home but I'm penniless." I happened to be a guard on the way. ”

"Then this girl and you are ......," Huang Shiren asked, pointing to Menghua.

Hanguang gently took Menghua's hand and smiled without saying a word.

"Hahaha! I won't bother you, old man, let's go, tomorrow's road will not be easy. We will pass through the 'plucking cliff,' and the geese will pluck their feathers when they pass through that place. Normally we would pay some tolls, but what we brought today was not simple, it had to be foolproof and not visible to them. So we had to break in. Let's go to bed early. Huang Shiren smiled heartily, reminded Hanguang and Menghua, and went to host others to clean up the cooking utensils.

"What are you doing!" As soon as Huang Shiren left, Menghua slapped Hanguang's hand away, wanting to say it very coldly, but said a little ashamedly.

Hanguang smiled, and while going to unveil Menghua, he said, "Didn't I say that you are so beautiful that you are my wife......?" Come on, come on, take off the veil and let my husband take a good look. ”

"You ......"

Before Menghua could refute it, the veil had already been lifted by the cold light.

Menghua's face is still as white as jade, a little ruddy, and under the faint illumination of the firelight, it is a little mysterious.

Some of the guards who happened to look over witnessed this beautiful face that only belonged to heaven and earth.

"You!" Menghua snatched the veil, covered her face, stepped on Hanguang's feet fiercely, and said with some excitement: "You, do you want to find trouble? Mom said that a girl's face cannot be shown to others at will...... Otherwise, it will cause a lot of unnecessary things. ”

"Huh. Hanguang laughed dryly, and also felt that his actions were excessive.

Menghua continued to be quiet, and said a little coquettishly: "Pay attention next time, this is also for your own good." If you want to see, okay, you're responsible for the trouble. Covering it up like this may make people more curious, but it won't cause a lot of trouble after all. Unraveled, you are responsible for the trouble. What girl likes to hide her face every day?"

Hanguang was speechless......

The next day, the sun was shining, and the caravan of about 200 people was on the road again.

The horse galloped, and the sound of the horse's hooves was very loud, and the horse's hooves swept by, bringing up a haze of gray.

"Change horses and rush over in one fell swoop. Success or failure in one fell swoop!" Huang Shiren commanded loudly. In front of it is next door where there is no grass all year round, and there, there is a plucking cliff that must be passed. Where there is no shelter, it is impossible to pass quietly. It's better to put on a rested horse and rush over in one go.

All of them are masters, at least they are all strong people at the peak of the physical realm. Quickly jumped on the horse, the whip was fiercely applied to the horse's body, and rushed towards the Gobi Desert.

The sound of horses' hooves was inevitably heard by the bandits, so they were speedy, and nothing could happen as long as they rushed before they could mobilize their forces. And the next time you pass by, it's still according to the old rules, so there's no need to be afraid. But if it is blocked by bandits, not only will there be a bloody battle, but this beam will be completely concluded.

There used to be a caravan, relying on the protection of the strong and a large number of guards. There was no one in sight, and he came and went freely in the plucking cliff, but he was completely wiped out when he entered the plucking cliff once. No one escaped, and no one brought back any information about the battle, and the only evidence that the caravan had died was the bloody human heads hanging from both ends of the plucking cliffs......

Since then, no one has dared to be so arrogant. But the very powerful caravan will still choose to rush through the plucking cliff. For those caravans that had the strength to rush through the Plucking Cliff before they lined up their own troops, those bandits also turned a blind eye. After all, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to gnaw a hard bone, leave a line in life, and see each other in the future.

The Zhenlian caravan did not have a strong force, and they used to pay one-third of the toll honestly. But because today's goods are so important, they woke up and took a gamble.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and watching the birds in the woods fly in shock, the leaders of Plucking Cliff immediately began to line up their troops, preparing to intercept the caravan.

Hanguang and the others have already rushed into the Plucking Cliff, which is worthy of being a place where robbery prevails. On one side is a slope at an angle of 45 degrees, and on the other side is a cliff wall that is 90 degrees vertical.

The army of bandits had already assembled on the slope and had already begun to charge, charging down. Listening to its momentum, it seems that there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

The army of bandits had already assembled on the slope and had already begun to charge, charging down. Listening to its momentum, it seems that there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

The first few hundred people did not ride horses, but directly transported their true qi and forcibly charged down. And the cavalry behind them were not mortals, the light of true qi was flickering, and many of them were cultivators who had achieved cultivation.

Those hundreds of people rushed to the back cliff with lightning speed, blocking everyone's way out, and did not attack everyone, but defended.

Seeing that he couldn't rush out, and the army had already covered up, Huang Shiren scolded secretly and shouted: "The sharp knife guards gave me the protection of the cold light and rushed out." Others, give me the best of the people up there. ”

Those who joined the escort had signed a blood contract, and the employer's orders could not be disobeyed, so they bravely met the infantry army that was covering the killing.

Since these guards are all true qi cultivation, and they are not weak. Although they were outnumbered in the collision, there were no casualties.

Hanguang glanced at Huang Shiren suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
