Chapter 52: Doing Business in Troubled Times

There are not many choices on the soul list, one is too far away from more than seven hundred miles, and the other is marked with "Seventh-level Ghost Venerable", which is locked by the system, and the only choice is called Zimo, in Baihua Mountain, and it is Chengye County.

Now it's inevitable to be sneered at when I go to see Tang Xuesui again, but it's not bad to go to Chengyi again and challenge the Snake Pavilion Grass Market once to see if I can gain something.

All the way south. The dense mountains and forests of Ruohua County gradually turned into acres of fertile fields, tea stalls and brigades gradually appeared on the roadside, and groups of merchants and travelers also increased.

There are also more of them, and there are dark shadows in Yunzhou, a place where the heavenly army is weak.

The twilight of the day was dark, and in the distance of the shadows of the jungle trees, there was a faint light of fire and shouts.

Lin Yi thought at first that a large caravan was camping, and after walking briskly for a while, there were shouts of killing and screaming.

His heart grew, and he held the heavy sword wrapped in coarse cloth behind his back in his arms, and ran forward quickly.

After running for a while, I crossed the dark jungle in the night, and saw a group of men in black besieging several tents and carriages. Tongues of fire licked the tent, scimitars shook the flames, and everywhere there were shouts of killing, shouting and wailing.

He frowned, and on the black clothes of those evil bandits, there was a crooked worm printed on it, white and twisted, dancing with a hundred legs, like a huge centipede.

The scene of the dead village in front of the Medicine King Valley came to mind again, and he couldn't help but shudder.

This is the edge of Chengye County, nearly a hundred miles away from the Medicine King Valley, and the scope of this gang of bandits is so far away.

This caravan was quite large, and at this time, relying on the tents and carriages in a circle, and some wooden fences were erected, and there were many guards, and they were in three or five formations, and they could resist it for the time being.

About a dozen of the bandits drove the horses, and surrounded the caravan constantly alarming, waving torches, screaming from their mouths, and occasionally shooting cold arrows. In the night, the fire is reflected in the fierce and vicious spirit, which makes people chill.

More than a dozen people with scimitars attacked through the gaps between the defensive lines, and several corpses were already lying on the ground.

Lin Yi bent over and quietly came to the jungle behind the black-clothed bandit.

There was a whistle from among the bandits, and suddenly arrows flew in all directions, leaving the guards scrambling for a while. The bandits on foot immediately screamed and rushed towards a tent.

The tent was torn open with a scimitar in a few strokes, and the bandits swarmed in, killing the guards who had gathered in a hurry.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, raised his sword and key with both hands, and swung it towards the bandits from behind.

He still has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he is not as brave as a moth to a fire. But if you can do something, you have to do something.

The caravan was still alive, and he couldn't stand by and watch.

No one noticed him in the chaotic night, and let him slash a bandit to the ground with a sword. He quickly changed his breath, quickly avoided the rushing crowd, and slashed at another lone bandit on the side.

Most of these people are also around the Quenching Body Realm, and only a few of them are in the early stage of the Qi Vein Realm. After all, when young adults can enter the late stage of the Qi Vein Realm, they can be regarded as entering the martial arts, and they don't have to do this work of licking blood.

This evil bandit wanted to take advantage of the loophole and rush to the female dependents in the defense line, but at this time, he was entangled by Lin Yi, and he was a little angry for a while, screamed, and slashed at him.

Fighting on the battlefield, real knives and real guns, Lin Yi didn't dare to slack off.

"Blood steam!"

The scorching blood flowed wildly, and he dodged the oncoming sword light to the side, and swept forward with the heavy sword in his hand.

"Tangmen Nine Swords, Qingcheng Rain!"

In this dark night, the other party can't see the flaws clearly, and his immature trick can just be used.

The other party didn't notice the strangeness of his sword, but the vicious double blades blocked the sword momentum and prepared to rush forward.

Lin Yi's sword edge took advantage of the momentum to turn, turning from slashing to stabbing, turning into several sword shadows, like a light rain.

Even if it was a mutilated drizzle, even if the blade of the sword key was unfavorable, the sword stabbed heavily into the shoulder blade of the evil bandit, and it also made him fall to his knees at once.

Lin Yi immediately made up for his face, causing him to faint on his back and fall to the ground.

Although the Nine Swords of the Tang Sect are only the most basic exercises of the Tang Sect, they can also be regarded as martial moves, and they can also be regarded as the power to destroy the withering and decaying in the Quenching Realm.

That's it, I've done my best, and if you go deeper into the battle, your life will be in danger at any time.

He was about to get away from it. Suddenly he was kicked hard in the back.

He staggered, looked up, and saw two strong men screaming and slashing at him. On the other side, there was a masked bandit, wielding a narrow-bladed long knife like poisonous fangs with both hands, and the breath in his body could be felt circulating, which was the Qi Pulse Realm!

At some point, the caravan's guards retreated a few meters, and the bandits surrounded him.

Dead! His hand subconsciously reached into his sleeve, and as soon as he touched the cold chain, the long knife had swept in front of him.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, but it was an old man who stretched out his legs and kicked away the masked bandit in the Qi Pulse Realm.

In the midst of the lightning and fire, Lin Yi loosened the thin chain and swung his heavy sword again, forcing the two bandits back.

"Let's go!" the old man shouted angrily, holding his collar in one hand, and leaped several meters at once, landing in the middle of the caravan's formation.

On the other side, a strong man in gray yelled: "Release!"

Between the two carriages, a dozen or so archers gathered at some point, and at this moment, a rain of arrows flew up, shooting the bandits back again and again.

The gang shouted and cursed, but they also retreated gradually, and only a few were hit by arrows and dragged out of the tents.

The bandits on horseback on the periphery shouted and shot a few arrows with their bows. Then the thieves threw their torches indiscriminately, and they jumped on their horses, and drove them back with a strange scream.

The surroundings finally quieted down, and the screams of pain and the cries of the women rang out.

The strong man in gray organized the guards and began to clean up the mess, extinguish the flames, and treat the wounded.

A fat man stepped forward and said to Lin Yi: "Thank you Shaoxia for pulling out his sword and helping, in Xia Hehai Wenkuan." Dare to ask the young man's surname?"

It turned out that this caravan was actually from the Hehai Chamber of Commerce where Xu Fang, the fat account room, was located, and it was no wonder that it was quite combative.

"In Xia Lin Yi. Lin Yi arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Hehai's friend, did this gang of bandits dare to move the team of your Chamber of Commerce?"

"Alas, now that Yunzhou is in turmoil, it is ashamed to say that our Chamber of Commerce also relies on the large number of martial artists to gain the trust of distinguished guests from all sides. Wen Kuan wiped his forehead and sighed, "These bandits have been pestering us for a few days, and they don't do their best every time, and they will flee away when they are blocked, which is really miserable." ”

"Like wolves prey...... Lin Yi frowned, "I've seen it before, this gang of bandits is called centipedes, and they act extremely fiercely, I'm afraid there will still be big troubles in the future, and you have to be careful." ”

Wen Kuan shook his head and sighed: "We also estimate that this gang of bandits will not give up without a purpose, and they will pass the book and divide the rudder, but it will take a few days to come to help." After entering the range of the defenders of Maocheng, you can feel a little relieved, but it will take a few days, I am afraid that these thieves will launch a fierce attack in the next few days, and now it is really dangerous. ”

He suddenly bowed his waist and bowed, buried his head and said loudly: "Dare to hire a young man to escort him for a few days, I don't know if it is convenient for young man?"

Lin Yi was stunned and said in amazement: "It's just the cultivation of the body quenching realm, it's really insignificant. ”

"The young man is brave and resourceful, and has a solid foundation, but it is insignificant. Wen Kuan still buried his head and said solemnly: "When I survive, I really hope to gather all possible strength. But conceiving his guilt and attracting evil bandits is also Hehai's own business after all, and Shaoxia has no obligation to help. Asking a young man to escort is also a business, and the remuneration must be rich. If the young man is inconvenient, he has no intention of blaming him. ”
