Chapter 525: The Dust of History
The bleak sky that is eternally pale, and the occasional passing of a few clouds are delusional. The mountain road was also winding, making the carriage quite unsteady, bouncing on his back, making Don feel a little uncomfortable.
I was tired of seeing this bleak sky for a long time, but I passively leaned on the carriage flatbed, and there was indeed no other visual angle. Sighing lightly, Tang En twisted his body and changed to a comfortable position, and a few imperceptible traces of blood disappeared behind him.
Still doesn't work......
All kinds of special effects of blood qi are there, whether it is penetration, or breaking defenses, etc., there is absolutely no problem. But it is undoubtedly unrealistic to use this to forcibly break the cocoon-like cold iron chains. So Don En has been learning a new skill in the system recently-the Empty Blood Blade!
Since there is no weapon to assist, then create one out of thin air!
Don's thinking was undoubtedly correct, and the skill of the Empty Blood Blade could also achieve such an effect. But the key problem now is that this skill is not easy to learn, at least not something that can be done quickly and immediately. Don had been pondering from last night until this morning, and he couldn't figure it out. I can barely condense my blood qi into a knife shape, but that's completely a death at the sight of the light, let alone cutting the chains, and it's a great luck to be able to last for a few seconds......
No, it's scattered again!
Sad...... Shaking his head, Don focused his gaze on the caravan masters who were traveling with him next to the car, thinking in his heart that maybe finding another way would be the king.
In fact, Tang En knew in his heart that system skills were never easy to learn, and according to the usual cultivation time of new skills, if he wanted to completely master the Empty Blood Blade, it would take more than half a month to say that it was very little. And that's under the premise of great opportunity.
But now this is the case. Although because of Yu Pei, his own life is worry-free. But that's only temporary. The speed of these people is not slow, and when they reach their destination, they really have to take out the other half of the jade pendant, then their situation will not be good. Say what Zi Yi confessed, and it is likely that he will be killed afterwards. Don't say it, then you have to be tortured constantly. Tragedy......
Thinking of this, Don licked his dry lips, and the idea of escaping as soon as possible became more and more resolute. And with his current situation. If you want to escape, it is naturally impossible to rely on your own strength, so you can only hit these barbarians with your ideas......
In fact, according to his observations during this time, the group in front of him, which seemed to be a small caravan, was obviously a little abnormal.
First of all, whether it is the Northern Wilderness or Bran, no small caravan will have so many expert guards. Besides, I had never heard of the commander of that small caravan who could mobilize tens of thousands of troops, and he was well deployed!
Tsk, it can't be a member of the royal family who came out to play, it's all written in the novels...... Smacked his lips. Donn thought so.
Such a team can see the most direct flaw. It seems to be those two lowly women. One of them is called Xini, and it seems to be a maid character, and it is useless to hold it hostage. Another ......
Tang En got up slightly and looked at Lan Sha not far away, and couldn't help grinning. His intuition told him that if it wasn't necessary, it was best not to provoke this woman easily!
"Hu ......" lay down again, and Tang En exhaled a long and turbid breath depressedly. I secretly complained in my heart, the brain-dead TV series is really unreliable, and the protagonist was arrested, and as a result, he was seduced, bribed, and even escaped by urine, isn't this obvious nonsense......
......
As Donn was thinking about his running strategy, the speed of the convoy slowed down, and then he heard Andre, who was not friendly to him, asking for something, in standard Bran language...... Well, from this point you can also see that this caravan is not normal.
As for what was said, Tang En didn't hear it clearly, as if the convoy didn't have enough food and needed to find a nearby place to replenish it......
Sure enough, the convoy soon afterward turned west and entered a medium-sized tribe.
At this time, Don En realized that the goods on the carriages beside him were all children's toys, which was quite incredible.
Once inside the tribe, an oilcloth tent was erected around Donn's carriage. Lansha and the others obviously didn't want him, a Bran, to be exposed to the eyes of the people of the Northern Wilderness, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble. And Don himself naturally didn't want to be exposed, so he sat in the carriage very honestly.
After finding the open space, several horse-drawn carriages blocked in front, revealing many toys of different shapes, and the stalls began.
Donne's carriage was enclosed inside, parked at the corner of two stone houses, and the location was quite hidden. More than ten meters away, a few caravan masters were constantly wandering, seemingly idle, but they firmly locked all the areas around the carriage, obviously preventing Tang En from suddenly going crazy.
However, it is naturally impossible for Tang En to make any trouble now, Lan Sha will not kill him because of Yu Pei, but if he falls into the hands of other barbarians, then the result is really hard to say......
Because of the tarpaulin, Don's eyes were pitch black. However, I can clearly hear the noise outside, most of them are children's screams, mixed with bargaining and adding sounds, which is very lively. In the midst of this, a familiar hoarse voice came from the vicinity intermittently.
"Buy more food and drinks, it's best to pickle them...... The price doesn't matter, it's fast, we need to rush back as soon as possible......"
Is that the woman? Don raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Hey, Lansha, how's the business?"
There was a lot of conversation outside, and after a while, half of the oilcloth on the inside was lifted, and the light penetrated, and Lan Sha, who was holding a long wooden box in his hand, approached the side of the car, and his face was calm: "General." Something?"
"It's okay, just talk casually. Responding casually, his gaze swept over the long wooden box and the burst fruit pinched by Lan Sha in his right hand, Don couldn't help grinning, "Don't do this...... Take it easy, don't make it feel like you're going to sacrifice yourself to blow up a bunker every time you talk. ”
"Bunker...... What is that?" Lan Sha didn't care about Don En's playful tone, or if she really had nothing to do right now, leaning on the side of the carriage at random, just blocking the view of outsiders,
"Uh, a kind of defensive military structure. It looks a bit like the carriage that is now surrounded on all sides, with only one opening exposed. The people inside can hit the outside, but the people on the outside can't hit the inside. ”
"Bran has this kind of military building?" Lan Sha frowned slightly when he heard this, but he only pondered for a few seconds, and immediately shook his head. "Flashy! Even if the soldiers inside are archers. Shoot up to a few rounds of arrows. You will be charged close by the cavalry and be beaten passively!"
"Uh...... yes, hehe...... "That's because there are no machine guns here, otherwise you let the cavalry rush to take a look?" smiled, and Tang En looked a little noncommittal.
However, it is undeniable that Tang En's heart was also a little shocked at this time. In just a few seconds, the Lan Sha in front of him actually saw the limitations of the bunker in the era of cold weapons, this is not an ordinary person. Even the agile thinking that the average general can have. Sharp eye......
As if seeing that Tang En disagreed, Lan Sha pursed his lips: "The wisdom of your Bran people is indeed not to be underestimated, and there are many geniuses. For example, the amazing and glamorous alchemy items, the Thor series, are out-and-out battlefield killers. But at the same time, there are even more stupid people, and the Bran border, which stretches for thousands of miles, consumes countless manpower and material resources, and turns out to have no effect on us, is proof of this!"
"That's a stupid idea. But aside from that, it's true that your centuries-long aggression hasn't been able to advance an inch, isn't it?" Don wasn't in the slightest of Bran's hatred with the Northern Wilderness. The reason why I continue to talk about Lan Sha now is just to learn more about this difficult opponent. Once you decide to run. Don't be so passive.
"Invasion?facts?" Hearing this, the corners of Lan Sha's mouth flashed with a few mocking smiles, "Hehe, the facts have long been buried by the dust of history!"
After a pause, his tone was a little hurried, "I know how you Bran people describe the Northern Wilderness, it is nothing more than desolation and withering, poor mountains and bad waters! I also know how you Bran people describe us, it is nothing more than ignorance and barbarism, cruelty and violence. Yes, that's basically true, and we all admit it. ”
"Look, it's not a glorious thing, but at least we dare to admit it." And what about you Bran? Heh, have you heard of Beacon City?"
"Beacon City?" Don was slightly stunned when he heard this somewhat familiar name, and immediately reacted, it was the city he had passed by when he was hunted down by Samp and Oliver before, and he remembered that Samp killed a lot of people in the center of the city......
"You seem to know. Well, don't you wonder?weishenmeIn the northern hinterland of Bran, where there are no sword soldiers, there is such a fortress that is obviously for military purposes?"
"Weishenme?" Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was really a little curious. Because the beacon city is as Lan Sha said, the city wall is seven or eight feet, and the whole body is made of solid black rocks, which is really not like a city in the interior, but like a military city near the border.
"The reason is simple. Lan Sha's expression became more and more mocking, "Because about three hundred years ago, Beacon City was a frontline city, that is, the middle separation point between Bran and the Northern Wilderness. Hehe, you say it's our tribe invasion, all the Bran people are talking about tribe invasion. But actually, it's you Bran who have been invading!"
Opening his mouth, Don was a little stunned. He wasn't from Bran, so when he heard this, his first feeling was not to question and refute. On the contrary, with the sanity of a bystander, Don has actually believed that the truth is exactly what Lan Sha said. Otherwise, the situation in Beacon City is really difficult to explain......
"Of course, I know very well and understand that the so-called law of the jungle will naturally be beaten if you are backward, and there is nothing to say about this. The slightly hurried tone gradually calmed down, Lan Sha raised his chin slightly, and looked at Tang En's expression cold and proud, "But one day, we will take back everything that belongs to us!
......
For a moment, snap...... Tang En clapped his palms in Lan Sha's somewhat puzzled gaze and nodded, "I wish your wish to come true." ”
With a frown, Lan Sha looked at Tang En fixedly, and narrowed his eyes: "Provocation? or flattery?"
"If it's the former, it's infuriating, but it's also a tough guy. If it's the latter, I'll despise you!"
"Uh......" touched his nose, and Don couldn't help but be a little speechless. What do you say? The master is not this shijie person, you beat you, and I have a half-dime relationship?
After some struggle, Zuihou had no choice but to spread his hands and smile bitterly, "I sincerely wish you can't do it, you have to allow neutral people to exist." ”
"Sometimes neutrality is a betrayal!" Araisha said calmly, "but if that's the case, it's not bad news for me. You know, I once thought about recruiting you in the Forbidden Valley. ”
"Uh, the despised ones too?"
"Personality has nothing to do with strength. I don't appreciate it, but that doesn't mean I won't use it. ”
Tang En nodded and smiled, "Hehe." And now, can I still recruit? I can rebel......
Straight head shake. "No, it won't. I don't dare to use you. Because you don't have a word of truth, including the one just now. ”
The back of his head slammed into the plank, and Tang En looked a little helpless: "Uh...... Don't do that, I'm a devout believer, I can swear to the God of Light that I can rebel......"
"Mr. Arthur, as far as I know, you were hunted down by the people of the Temple of Light not long ago. ”
"Ahem...... Accidentally. It was just a small accident......" As soon as the words were spoken, they were exposed, and Tang En, who was undisciplined, was also a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but break free from the chains and touch his nose.
At this time, a figure was printed upside down on the side of the inner wall, which indicated that someone had come over: "Commander, everything has been bought, enough for us to go to the imperial city." ”
Oh, it's the one named Andrei. Don has always had a good memory, not to mention this unlucky ghost who was ruined by good things when he was just awake. In fact, he could name most of the people in the small caravan by name. Sometimes, all you need is a pair of ears with normal hearing. But. Imperial???
Listening to the destination of this group, Tang En couldn't help but be a little shocked. Lan Sha on the side nodded slightly: "Well, let's clean up the stall and prepare to go." ”
"Good. Andre responded, but he didn't move his pace, and his tone was a little hesitant, "Commander, when I was shopping just now, I took a turn in the tribe by the way, and found that thousands of warriors of this tribe were concentrated in the three directions of the east, west, and south of the periphery, just like ...... Well, it's like a surrounding. ”
"Huh?" Lan Sha frowned slightly when he heard this, "What's the situation?"
Andre shook his head: "I don't know, I inquired, and found that the people in the tribe don't know either." ”
Lan Sha's brows tightened even more, and then, "Ha, maybe you're preparing to hunt, or the tribe next door suddenly called." There was another loud grin, and this time Don didn't see anyone, but looking at the curvilinear reflection on the wall, he knew it was Nasinee.
"Well, it's possible to ......" Andrei was a little unsure.
"Whatever it is, leave as soon as possible. After a deep sigh, Lan Sha decisively ordered. Then he frowned and scattered, and there was some self-deprecation in his doubts, who would dare to disadvantage himself in the entire Northern Wilderness?
......
The order was given, the front stall was quickly withdrawn, some of the toys on display were transported back to the wagon, and the tarpaulin was reopened and sealed.
At this time, Lan Sha had already left the carriage where Tang En was, but the half of the curtain that had been lifted was not lowered, and Tang En was also half inclined and poked his head out slightly, looking at all this outside.
Tsk, the business is really average, and it hasn't sold much...... However, those plush toys are good materials for camouflage, and they should be used when escaping...... Well, they just said that the Imperial City is the Imperial City of the Northern Wilderness? I don't know how far it is from here......
There is no match for the wild thoughts, Don En doesn't have any other ideas now, and escaping is also about timing, and it is obviously not suitable now.
"En?" At this moment, suddenly, Tang En's body tightened instantly, and a faint coolness swept through his heart, and then he slowly relaxed, his expression was as usual, but his afterglow was glancing at some corners in his sight.
, that's not right...... Don has a good eye, and he is an expert in hiding and ambushing. After a few glances, I could confirm that there were some people around me who were slowly surrounding me.
However, although he knew that someone had bad intentions, Tang En was also a little surprised for a while, and he didn't know who the other party's target was. Well, as an imposter Bran, it's really easy to pull hatred here, but one thing doesn't make sense, if the other party finds out his identity, then he can come out openly and denounce it, and there is no need to engage in such sneaky behavior.
It's also a little strange, their status is obviously not low, and they can even mobilize tens of thousands of barbarians at will, who would dare to slap the tiger's whiskers? Besides, what is the purpose of the other party's doing this? Grab this cart of toys? Isn't this......
Just when Tang En was thinking about all kinds of possibilities and judging whether there was a good opportunity to escape from the chaos,
Stomp ...... In front of the left side of the convoy, a group of about dozens of people strode over, and the middle-aged barbarian led by him seemed to have a high status and a look of excitement on his face.
There were still a few steps away, and the middle-aged barbarian had already bent down to this Lan Sha, and gave a respectful salute: "I've seen Lan Sha ......."
The honorific title in the back, because Lan Sha waved his hand to interrupt, Tang En didn't listen to it all. However, it is clear that this Lansha's identity is indeed not as simple as he imagined.
The next situation was almost like a sesame petty official seeing the minister, the middle-aged barbarian's waist was not straight, whether it was his expression or his movements, he was extremely excited. On the other hand, the sand has always been faint, maintaining a sense of dignified distance.
Immediately, the middle-aged barbarian couldn't help but make an invitation gesture, and spoke in a barbaric language, as if he wanted to ask Lan Sha to stay, so that he could be entertained. However, Lan Sha didn't seem to agree, and shook his head slightly to excuse himself.
came and went, and the scene was very harmonious.
But at this moment, Tang En's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but open his mouth...... It turned out that from his angle, he just saw a familiar wisp of dark red in Lan Sha's slightly raised palm. Uh, that burst fruit?
The next moment, boom......
The explosion sounded, the figure flew over, and a cold voice instantly resounded throughout the audience: "The target tribe is in the west, rush out!"
............ (To be continued......)
