In early spring and March, there is a lot of water vapor at night, and when the sky is white, the air is slightly cold, and it condenses into crystal dew and hangs on the shallow grass.

Lin Zhun shook off the dew on his boots when he passed through the grass, and said while leading the people behind him: "The second brother is the front, there are probably hundreds of people. ”

Between this back and forth, it was another ventilation report, and it was a gathering of people, so when everyone gathered in the Iron Bone Village, it was the sunrise of the next day.

Before Lin Wen came, he had already learned about the situation in detail from Lao Balin Town, who had come back to report the news.

He was afraid that Lao Jiu's disappearance would have a "just in case" connection with the caravan in front of him, so this time he actually brought sixty people, and the fifth and sixth also came.

With the scale of their entire team of more than 70 people now, if they can't take a caravan of more than 100 people, Lin Wen feels that he can only consider himself unlucky.

"Well, I didn't expect this caravan to get up so early, I'm afraid I want to rush to Stone Town to replenish supplies. ”

Under the cover of the Dao Cong, Lin Wen estimated the true background of the caravan in front of him from a distance of 100 meters, and said softly: "It seems that there are only about 20 guards, and the third one, you take thirty people to go around the slope, and we will attack back and forth." ”

Lin Zhun nodded and agreed: "Second brother will be in place in two quarters of an hour, and when the time comes, I will come out to block them immediately." ”

Although the horsemen in the caravan were sleepy-eyed and unrested, they still sorted out the goods on the carriage with their hands and feet.

They first folded and put away the tung oil paper that had been used to protect them from the rain yesterday, then re-tied some loose places with ropes, and finally returned part of the carriage to the front and part to the rear, and the guards followed at both ends to begin the day's journey.

"Woohoo"

Suddenly, a series of wooden arrows shot at the front of the road, stopping the caravan's footsteps.

"Brothers, give it to me!"

The voices of shouting and shouting were both front and back.

Seeing this critical situation, Mu Qing, who had been in the middle of the caravan, pretended to be the leader and shouted in a panic: "Enemy attack, gather the horse team." ”

The situation on the scene can be described as changing in an instant, and the people of the Iron Bone Village have surrounded this caravan in front and back, leaving them no chance to escape.

On the caravan's side, the horsemen who had driven before had already put the carriages in order and blocked the front and rear of the caravan, and everyone was dying and struggling with the wagons and goods that were in the way.

Seeing that the situation was clear and the other party was already a turtle in an urn, Lin Wen couldn't help but evaluate the other party's response: "In this case, it seems that he is not stupid to be able to make this kind of response." ”

He was about to give the order to let his brothers fire a volley first, and no matter how many people hiding behind the carriage could be injured, the other party was the first to speak.

"Wait!"

"Passing through here, I have some friendship with the leaders of the iron bone village not far in front, and I also ask the heroes in front of me to make it convenient for me to pass. ”

Lin Wen looked at it, and the person who spoke seemed to be lacking in confidence and had already hidden behind many guards.

"Haha... Haha......"

Mu Qing just played an act that showed his hole cards, and it really caused the laughter of many bandits on the opposite side.

After Lin Zhen laughed, he glanced at the second brother Lin Wen beside him, and when he saw the banter in the other party's eyes, he smiled at Mu Qing and asked, "What's the matter? ”

Seeing that the situation in the field was gradually developing in a controllable direction, Mu Qing continued to pretend to be the leader of the caravan and replied, "I know it, every time I pass by the Iron Bone Village, I have to say a few words to them. ”

Mu Qing's pretense was funny in the eyes of everyone in the Iron Bone Village, and Lin Wen didn't want to continue watching the play, so he said coldly: "Then do you recognize me?"

The time has come!

Mu Qing was about to stab the other party's identity, but there was a speculative look on his face, and he said, "Could it be the brothers of the Iron Bone Village?"

Before waiting for the other party to answer, Mu Qing continued to say loudly: "I see that you are majestic, and there are only the brothers of the Iron Bone Village who can have such momentum around, but I don't know why you have such a good income, why do you want to do such a thing that is despicable on the road." ”

Although the rules have always been broken and rewritten by the strong, Iron Bone Village has never dared to do too much because of its potential connection with Vermilion Bird City, and in the past, it was just an expensive toll.

Mu Qing's question made Lin Wen a little embarrassed, speaking of which, among the brothers, he is the one who values the rules the most, the eldest brother is seriously ill, and he just lets the most outrageous Lao Jiu do the business of blocking the road and robbing him, he really disdains to do these things.

Mu Qing felt that his role play was very successful, and he still needed to strike while the iron was hot.

He continued, "I don't know what difficulties the brothers of the Iron Bone Village have encountered? If you need to use my place, please feel free to ask." My caravan is full of medicinal herbs, if you want it, just take it, just hope that we can be spared. ”

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and the people in the Iron Bone Village are also some rectums, and when they see each other so good, it's not good to really kill them quickly.

Lin Wen's eyes lit up after hearing Mu Qing report that he was a medicinal herb merchant, and after he waited for the other party to finish speaking, he pretended to ask inadvertently, "Oh, where is your caravan going back?"

As the southernmost gateway of the Hibiscus Dynasty, Suzaku Castle was used by many merchants to pull goods from the north, and there were several large cities among them.

"Ansha. ”

Mu Qing said it without thinking.

Although he didn't know why the other party didn't ask him if there were any medicinal materials in the caravan they needed, since he was already making a show, why not make the trick more deviant from the truth.

"Anxia, it's not Jinguan City, so it seems that there shouldn't be any Nine Turns of Flame Grass. ”

Lin Wen was disappointed for a while, one thing he could confirm from the reply from Vermilion Bird City was that there were nine turns of Flame Grass in the caravan back to Jinguan City.

He suppressed the disappointment in his heart, but for no reason he was annoyed by the current situation, and asked, "Have you ever encountered a group of thirty or forty people before?"

"No, our caravan has been resting halfway up the mountain since yesterday afternoon, sheltering from the rain. ”

When he met and killed them all, he was indeed resting later, Mu Qing said half-truthfully.

"I don't know what difficulties the brothers of the Iron Bone Village are encountering, we can definitely help. ”

Although the people in the Iron Bone Village did not admit their identities to their faces, Mu Qing confirmed it, and the other party did not doubt it, after all, there was indeed no one more majestic than them within a radius of dozens of miles.

"Does your caravan have nine turns of Flame Grass?"

Lin Zhun was more accepting of the other party's overtures and spoke.

Mu Qing felt a burst of surprise in his heart, they did have the Nine Turns of Flame Grass, but they had it yesterday, and they didn't have it today.

It's just that Mu Qing originally wanted to learn more about the poisoning of the owner of the Iron Bone Village through the other party's inquiry.

Since it is the Nine Turns of the Flame Grass, it must also be related to blood toxoids.

Mu Qing's momentum became much calmer in Lin Wen's eyes, which made him happy in his eyes, and he thought that the other party's caravan also had Nine Turns of Flame Grass.

Who knows, Mu Qing opened his mouth and said, "I don't have the Nine Turns of the Flame Grass." ”

"!"

"Whew!"

"What about you playing grandpa?"

A few feet behind Lin Wen, a man who was obviously short-tempered, couldn't stand Mu Qing's slow tone, and shot an arrow directly, which was blocked by the guards holding wooden shields beside Mu Qing.

"Old Five. ”

Lin Wen didn't scold Lao Wu, but just stopped him.

"Well, don't be angry with the brothers of the Iron Bone Village, although our caravan does not have the Nine Turns of the Flame Grass, I myself was born into a medical family, and I dare not be arrogant, and I still know a little about medicine. ”

Mu Qing pretended to be afraid, begged for mercy, and continued: "The disease that needs to use the Nine Turns of Youyan Grass must be a blood-related poison, I just happened to have some research in this area, it is better to let me go into the village to save the poisoned person, if my ability is limited, I am not in a hurry to deal with it." ”

Mu Qing's words had a beginning and an end, but Lin Wen couldn't find a reason to refuse, he said directly: "Very good, if you can save my eldest brother, I will recognize your favor, if you can't save it, you should know the consequences." ”

Lin Wenle turned his horse and ordered: "Press them back to the village and leave the village." ”

Mu Qing's caravan was wrapped up in this way, getting closer and closer to the Iron Bone Village.

......

At this time, in the iron bone village, Lin Tian, the fourth elder who stayed in the village, found Cao Mo.

"Hey, old man Cao, why do I keep itching on my back, is it because the medicine you got me last time didn't work. ”

Lin Tian sat down while backhanding an itchy spot on his shoulder blades.

Cao Mo's eyes flashed, handed Lin Tian a thumb-sized pill with a fragrance, and said with a low smile: "It probably rained yesterday, and I attracted some dampness to the upper body, the four masters, you can just take this dampness medicine." ”

Cao Mo spent most of his time practicing on studying the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture", and the ones that can be regarded as superficial at present are the poisonous insects and poisons.

In many cases, his way of solving problems still has to habitually fall on his own skills.

So he repeated his old trick, but he planted another nightmare worm Gu into Lin Tian's body.

The Nightmare Worm Child and Mother Gu can only have a one-to-one relationship, and only when the Child Gu dies can another one be re-cultivated. Originally, it would take at least half a decade to cultivate a new Zi Gu, but Cao Mo was willing to raise the female Gu with a trace of essence blood last night, so there was the scene just now.

He was ready to work harder, since he didn't know where Lin Xing had died now, let Lin Tian take the initiative to do things instead of Lin Xing.

It's just that now he still has to wait for Lin Wen and the others to come back before he can launch his plan.

Lin Pan, the owner of the village, actually couldn't last so long, if it weren't for Cao Mo who felt that his life and death were still useful, he would have been poisoned and died.

Now he still has to go to renew Lin Pan's life, and when his plan is completed, he can't say that he will be given a comfortable death.
