The Great Chu Dynasty was able to resist the enemies of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians and the Eastern Turks with the strength of a single country, so it was naturally a huge territory.

But if you want to say that the three states with the most extensive area within the eight states of Great Chu are naturally Liao, Jin, and You.

Although Liao and Jinzhou are bordering each other, they each guard different borders, Liaozhou encompasses the entire eastern front, and is often harassed by the Turks, Jinzhou spans most of the northern grasslands, and the northern barbarians are pressed on the grasslands and cannot move.

These two prefectures have protected the five inland prefectures of Chongqing, Ling, Bian, Suzhou, and Hangzhou.

After walking through the calm and peaceful five states, we arrived at another border state of Dachu - Youzhou, which not only had a-for-tat confrontation with the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also bordered the west.

Fortunately, there is a vast desert with unknown length and width to the west, and there is no existence of any force, otherwise Da Chu would really be facing enemies on all sides.

According to the merchants from the west who came to Kyoto to do business, the desert spread out for 800 miles, and only after walking through the desert could they reach a place called the Western Regions, which was also the home of the merchants who came from the west.

Now Ergou's Hualiu County and Xinyizong's Chixia County are both in the west of Youzhou, so although these two counties are large, half of them are desolate Gobi Desert.

As for the further west of these two counties, there is also a desert county connected to the desert, which is really to the point of not growing any grass.

On the endless Gobi Desert, probably because of winter, the soil here has turned to ice ballast, and there are no other creatures to be seen except for a few plants such as camel thorns and millennia orchids, which can survive in the desert.

Very suddenly, a figure appeared on the horizon in the distance, he was walking fast against the ground, and when he got closer, the man's eyes were already bloodshot, his lips were chapped but his hair was frozen into ice, and his expression had languished to the extreme, but even so, he still couldn't hide the horror in his heart.

This person was the man in black who was deliberately let go by Hua Xueji three days ago, and after he escaped that night, he galloped until dawn, without stopping halfway.

In that night, he ran at least three hundred miles, and he thought that the person behind him had given up chasing him, but just when he stopped in the morning, two breaths of heavenly breath erupted from behind him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran again.

He didn't know the specific strength of the two behind him, but he knew that it would be easy for the two behind him to kill him.

In a blink of an eye, he had been running for three days, and he had not gotten the slightest rest in these three days, and at first he was still wondering, with the strength of the two behind him, he should have been able to catch up a long time ago, why did he deliberately fall behind him?

But now he understood that the two people around him wanted him to take them to the place where the Chixia County Heart Sect collected those children.

But even if he knew, it would be better if he stopped now and was killed, but if they didn't kill him, they would have to let him lead the way?

Of course, there were more than two people chasing after him, as well as Jiang Ergou, who was caught under the armpit by the old man Wang Xuanlang, and Mu Xian'er, who rushed over after arranging those children.

It's just that Jiang Ergou and Mu Xian'er's strength is too poor, and they haven't been noticed by the person in front.

"Old man, you've been running with me like this for three days, can you change your posture, I'm very uncomfortable! Besides, there are still outsiders present, and I have been stared at by them for so long, and I don't want to lose face with your apprentice." ”

Compared with the situation of the man in black, their state is much better, not to mention that Ergou and Wang Xuanlang travel the rivers and lakes with dry food and water, even their strength is too much more than that person, when you want to rest, you can stop and rest, and then continue chasing after eating and drinking enough.

Hearing Jiang Ergou's complaining words, Mu Xian'er let out a string of silver bell-like laughter, her strength is now close to the second grade, so she naturally can't keep up without her master taking her to hurry, which makes Ergou feel more and more faceless.

"Get away, it's good that Lao Tzu is willing to take you on the road, you kid is still picking and picking fat and thin, giving you face, isn't it, if you weren't afraid that your kid won't be able to live on this Gobi Desert, Lao Tzu would have left you behind." ”

Ergou knew that when there were other people, this old man was a typical one-size-fits-all, so he didn't continue to speak, and it was estimated that this old man was also trying to maintain his face as a master.

......

After these days and nights of hurrying, the first four and the next five people are about to enter Chixia County, but at this time, there is another group of people on the border between Hualiu County and Chixia County!

"Big brother, is your news accurate! Didn't you say that today, there will be a disciple from the outer sect of the Xinyi Sect escorting supplies from here? Why is it that it's time for lunch, and I still haven't even seen a ghost. If I had known that I would have waited so long, I would have stayed in the village and slept like my second sister. ”

The one who spoke was none other than Zhao Mosheng, the third leader of the Sky Eagle Gang, who had not seen him for a long time, and he was wearing a cotton coat made of animal fur that he didn't know what kind of animal fur he was exhaling cold.

After this winter, the weather on the Gobi Desert has become unusually cold, and without using internal force, even this kind of recklessness in the rivers and lakes is a little unbearable.

"What are you anxious about! Even if they can run today, they won't be able to run tomorrow, since their Xinyi Sect won't let our Heavenly Eagle Gang do business in his Chixia County, then they don't want to pass safely from my Heavenly Eagle Gang's territory. I'd like to see if Liu Huikou's old boy will come over to deliver the supplies in person. ”

Duan Wudao, the big boss of the Sky Eagle Gang, spat on the ground with hatred, this Xinyi Sect didn't let these mountain bandits set up a mountain in Chixia County, and there was nothing to say about their own territory.

But just last month, the brothers of their Heavenly Eagle Gang used the Dao to make a deal in the past, and they were stopped by the people of the Heart Sect, and as a righteous sect, they robbed him of the goods of the Daoless Sky Eagle Gang, not to mention, and injured people.

After knowing this, Duan Wudao, who had always been protective of his shortcomings, couldn't bear it, and borrowed the news of the three mountains, six bandits and eighteen gangs on the surrounding green forest road overnight, plus their own intelligence sources of the Heavenly Eagle Gang, and finally figured out the roads that the Xinyi Sect often took to purchase materials, and Duan Wudao after knowing the news, he hurriedly brought people over to block the only way for the Xinyi Sect.

Before the two of them finished speaking, a convoy appeared in front of them, and the flag planted next to the carriage had two big characters on it, which could be regarded as indicating the identity and origin of the convoy, so that the ordinary small group of mountain bandits did not dare to have a strange heart.

Having said that, the amount of materials escorted by this convoy is really not small, and at a glance, there are nearly fifty carriages, which makes Zhao Mosheng happy all of a sudden.

"Big brother, here! This batch of goods is a lot more than ours!

Seeing a group of mountain bandits appear in front of them, a person from the Xinyi Sect's convoy immediately walked out, and with a few strokes, they arrived in front of Duan Wudao and them.

"Old man's heart, Leng Xuan, the elder of the outer sect of the sect, has seen the big boss of the Sky Eagle Gang"

When they meet, they will be judged, this is not that the elders of the outer sect of the Xinyi Sect don't want to put on a score, but they really dare to stand up and intercept the road after knowing that they are the convoy of the Xinyi Sect, either these mountain bandits have broken brains or they have something to rely on.

Sure enough, after he walked out of the convoy, he saw Duan Wudao, the big boss of the first gang in the world!

"The big boss, although our Xinyi Sect and your Tianying Gang are in the same Youzhou, they can get along quite harmoniously, over the years, everyone is well water and does not interfere with river water, why do you want to block the way of my Xinyi Sect today! If the brothers want to ask for a wine money, I have a thousand taels of silver here, and I hope that the big boss can make it convenient." ”

As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in other people's territory, even if he Leng Xuan is an elder of the Xinyi Sect, he naturally does not dare to be arrogant, not to mention that this Sky Eagle Gang is not a land snake, but a strong dragon that does not lose too much of their Xinyi Sect.

"Third brother, you see, people can talk a lot, being an outer sect elder is really condescending, if our brother met him last month, wouldn't there be no conflict!"

Duan Wudao naturally took the silver ticket, and then handed it to Zhao Mosheng behind him.

"It's not big brother, but now the thousand taels sent here don't even seem to be enough for us to pay the interest!"

Hearing this, Leng Xuan didn't know that this Wudao was deliberately intercepting him here.

"Big boss, is there any misunderstanding between your Heavenly Eagle Gang and my Heart Sect, you wait for me to go back and tell the sect master to find out the reason, and I will definitely give an explanation to the brothers of the Heavenly Eagle Gang. ”

Duan Wudao chuckled at this.

"There is no misunderstanding, it's just a little grudge, for the sake of your kid who is still more sensible, I won't bother you, but you can stay here with this batch of goods, go back and tell Liu Huikou that I have no way to ask for this batch of goods, in addition, you can help me bring a message to him." ”

After Duan Wudao said this, his eyes became gloomy, and he no longer had the smile he had before.

"From now on, my Heavenly Eagle Gang and the large and small Koushan bandit forces in Youzhou will not enter Chixia County again, but your Heart Sect will not want to pass over from our territory again! I will intercept it once again! I want to see if it is your Heart Sect's fist that is hard, or my Sky Eagle Gang's wrist is strong!"

"Big boss, don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding here, you give me a chance to ......"

"I can give you a chance, but the person with you disappears from my sight within ten breaths, otherwise, you will leave one leg here!"

"The ...... of the Big Boss"

"Nine breaths!"

Leng Xuan originally wanted to say something, but Duan Wudao didn't give him a chance, but he knew that this Wudao thing had always been neat and tidy, and he said that he would leave him with one leg, and when the time came, he wouldn't want to leave with his legs.

Leng Xuan didn't have any way, in terms of strength, he was only a third grade, and he was going to be killed by Duan Wudao. So he had no choice but to run back to the convoy and leave with the disciples of the Xinyi Sect, and Zhao Mosheng also took over the carriages with others.

After some counting, Zhao Mosheng's face bloomed with a smile.

"Big brother, these goods are worth 100,000 taels of silver, we won't lose this deal! But, big brother, do we really want to completely turn our faces with the Xinyi Sect?"

"How so!"

Duan Wudao looked into the distance and said with a far-reaching gaze.

"Although Liu Huikou has no brains, he is not confused in the end, and after falling out, there is no good fruit for both parties to eat, unless he is sure that he can completely eat our Sky Eagle Gang. In my opinion, this Liu Huikou will not only not turn his face, but will also return our things to the original. ”

After Zhao Mosheng heard his eldest brother's analysis, the only little worry in his heart disappeared.

"Brothers, pack up your things, let's go back to the mountain!"

"Woohoo!"

After shouting, the men below carried their things and prepared to go back to the cottage, even if there was a spare place in the carriage next to them, they were not willing to put their things on the carriage, it seemed that they could only feel at ease by carrying their own bodies.

"Alliance leader, save me! Alliance leader!

Just as Duan Wudao was about to leave, another figure appeared on the Gobi Desert in the distance, he looked back and found that he still knew that person, so he shouted at the person who was running.

"Yo! Isn't this Zhang Ermazi from Crouching Tiger Mountain! Why are you running so badly!"
