Volume 2 Chapter 14 The Li Family Caravan
Fulong Prefecture, in the middle of the wasteland.
There were about 30 carts and horses in a group of merchants, and the man at the head of the team whispered to the people next to him, "Boss, who are those people? I haven't gotten off the car for a few days." ”
The strong man riding a horse that was obviously a few points taller on the side turned his head and scolded in a low voice: "You kid keep your mouth shut, it won't be a small person who can have this spare money, don't make trouble for the young lady." ”
The man shrank his head and said with a smile: "How can it be, I'm just worried that a few adults are thirsty and hungry, and we can't be lazy when people pay for it, right?"
Glancing at the man with a light smile, the strong man looked back at the most luxurious and sturdy carriage, frowning slightly, if he said that he was not curious in his heart, it was impossible, just begging for a life in this world, some things should be less inquired.
lest you lose your life and harm the family that raised your brothers.
In the team, most of the guards are the sons of the Li family in Feiyun City, who have been given martial arts since childhood, and when their strength rises to a certain level or when they reach age, they will be incorporated into the disciples of the sons and daughters of various branches of the family, and begin to travel to various states to do business.
The strong man's name is Tian Meng, who is the most talented and powerful among the children of the same family, and was assigned to the younger daughter Li Wan'er, who prefers young girls, and together with an experienced steward, he can be regarded as escorting this first-time businessman.
"After this trip, the young lady will be considered to have completed the ceremony. Tian Meng glanced at the young woman who was sitting next to the carriage and chatting happily with the steward, and said with a light smile, his eyes full of affection.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the young people of the clan who would not be tempted by that fairy-like woman?
laughed at themselves, they were from such a humble background, and they could only look at it from afar.
"I don't know what kind of peerless person can be worthy of Miss. Sighing in his heart, Tian Meng said hello to the man beside him, rode his horse back, walked to the figure that pulled countless people's heartstrings, and said softly: "Miss, Steward Fang, there is Heifeng Gorge thirty miles ahead, my subordinates are afraid that there will be spies, it's okay to bother the two of you to get into the car?"
The woman smiled, adding a lot of light to the bleak night, and nodded gently, "Brother Tian, let the brothers be careful, and invite everyone to drink after the Black Wind Gorge." ”
Tian Meng smiled and nodded, the reason why his young lady can be loved is not only because of her outstanding appearance, but also because of her gentleness and heroism towards her subordinates.
Turning around and lifting the curtain, the woman seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned her head and said, "I'm sorry for you to ask if the Taoist chief has any needs, and try to meet them." ”
In the past few days, almost everyone was surprised, every time the caravan stopped to rest, it was always the brother and sister who got off the train, ate and drank briefly, and then immediately entered the carriage without making any stops.
Only the blind Taoist priest with the sign bigger than the sky did not leave the carriage for a single step, and if someone hadn't heard some sounds, everyone would have wondered if he was still in the car.
Bent down respectfully, and after seeing off the young lady and the steward, Tian Meng rode his horse to Chen Sheng's car.
"Dao Chief?"
"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked a small head sticking out and a little milky.
Tian Meng smiled, although the three masters and apprentices behaved strangely, but in the face of this cute little girl, he still liked it very much, and said softly: "Miss asked me to come over and ask if you have any needs, eat, drink, clothes, silk and velvet, but it doesn't matter." ”
The car door rang, and a slightly larger brain poked out, and asked with a little impatience: "Master asked, how long will it take to get to Feiyun City." ”
Tian Meng followed the gap opened by the two of them, and caught a glimpse of the old man sitting like a god in the middle of the carriage, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "After the Black Wind Gorge in front, you will be there in half a day." ”
"It's just that there is one point, I have to say to a few people in advance, there is a group of habitual bandits in this Black Wind Gorge, who occupy the mountain as the king, and collect tolls from all the caravans that come and go, and it may be a little tricky at that time, please bear with me. ”
The young man's eyes lit up slightly, "Are you a habitual bandit?"
Tian Meng was a little stunned, and from the expression of the young man in front of him, he actually saw a bit of fighting intent, and suddenly smiled: "Little brother, this gang of bandits has been entrenched here for a hundred years, but it is not just as simple as being powerful, it is said that there is also this foundation building monk in charge. ”
Hearing this, the young man who had just ignited a little interest lost his momentum in an instant, like a mourning examiner, and muttered in a low voice: "Then forget it, let them go this time." ”
The old man, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, finally made a move, knocked on the young man's head with one hand, and pulled the girl back to sit down, before he smiled at Tian Meng and said, "The little apprentice is stubborn, you should not have heard it." ”
Tian Meng looked at the old man in front of him, and had a sense of trance, because of the good bones, after he escorted several sons to business, he won a primary exercise rewarded by the clan through his merits, and now he also has the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building, but when he looked at the old way, he had an unrivaled feeling of palpitations.
As if sensing his strange appearance, Chen Sheng smiled, his momentum disappeared, and he turned into a thorough ordinary Taoist again, "If there is nothing to do, the poor Dao wants to rest." ”
Tian Meng came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Then I won't disturb the Taoist chief to rest, and if necessary, send someone to find me." ”
When he turned around and rode his horse, he couldn't help laughing at himself, how could he have such a ridiculous thought.
"Master, this guy is good. "After a few days, Chen Wu, who has completely removed the hidden dangers, has obtained the exercises selected by Chen Sheng, and now he has also resumed the cultivation of the fifth stage of Qi training, and it can be seen that the man is also a person on the path of cultivation, and it is not easy to treat a mortal veteran and two and a half children with such humility.
Chen Sheng squinted his eyes and avoided talking: "Want to practice with that habitual bandit?"
The young man grinned, "I didn't dare in the city before, but now that I have a master to cover me, I am naturally bolder." ”
The little girl on the side frowned, and was quite displeased with the idea of fighting and killing in her brother's heart, so because the master didn't say much in front of her, she had to squeeze her two slender eyebrows together, which made people feel distressed.
Chen Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand to soothe it, and then said softly: "Xiaorou, the outside world is not as good as the family, there are many bad people, if your brother doesn't learn to fight, what if the master is bullied in the future?"
The little girl thought about it carefully, and said something that made Chen Sheng both relieved and vomit blood, "The master is so powerful, how can he be bullied?"
With a wry smile, he tapped his finger at the door of the little girl's head, and Chen Shengqi scolded: "Then the master said it another way, if I am not there, what should I do if someone wants to bully you?"
Before the little girl could speak, the young man waved his fist and said viciously: "Then I will beat him so that his father and mother don't know him." ”
With a slap in the face, Chen Sheng scolded angrily: "I asked you?"
The boy shrank his head and winked at his sister.
The little girl was relieved and said, "Then master, you have to watch it, don't let people hurt my brother." ”
Chen Sheng was very sad, "Don't you ask why the master is not here?"
The little girl snapped her fingers and said timidly: "The master said that if you send us to the sect, we will leave." ”
Chen Sheng, who turned into an old Taoist priest, stroked his beard lightly, and felt very relieved, at least the female disciples he accepted in this life were much more worry-free than those in the previous life.
————
In the second luxurious carriage, a young woman with a peerless face sat opposite the old steward.
The old steward looked embarrassed, and said astringently: "Miss, this time the merchant owner didn't choose the route for you this day. ”
The beautiful woman nodded indifferently and said with a smile: "I know that the day of the draw was changed by Erniang." ”
"Miss, you know everything, why are you still there?"
"Steward Fang wanted to ask me why I didn't smoke it again, but chose this most dangerous route?" the woman's lips opened lightly, and her tone was flat with a bit of ridicule.
The old steward had to smile bitterly, "The young lady is eloquent and strategic, and the old servant naturally can't know about it." ”
Unexpectedly, the woman smiled freely, with a little sadness in her eyes, "I just want to see which people will not be able to help but make a move this time, so that I can have a plan in my heart, whether I want to embark on the road to becoming an immortal." ”
Although the woman smiled, the words she said made the old steward feel a little powerless.
About half a month ago, in a family in Feiyun City that had been competing with the Li family for many years, a child of the Immortal Family suddenly appeared, worshipping in a sect that was not weak, and it was said that he was still under the seat of the elder of the inner gate.
Within a few days, this young man of the same age as his own young lady came to the door with the elders of the family to propose marriage, and promised a few inner disciple qualifications, which made many elders in the clan excited.
It is precisely because of the rejection of this marriage that this young daughter, who is favored by her father, has to go out to do business like her brothers, which is why she has today's trip.
In terms of route alone, the Black Wind Gorge is the most dangerous place here, but both of them know that the elders in the sect who have sharpened their heads and want to send their children and grandchildren into the sect will definitely get in the way.
From this point of view, it seems that it really doesn't matter which path she Li Wan'er chooses.
Steward Fang opened his mouth empty, and the thousands of words of exhortation in his heart finally turned into a long sigh after touching the sad eyes of his young lady.
The woman lowered her eyes, but she also had her own careful thoughts, originally the three of the old Taoist master and apprentice walked together, and Steward Fang and Tian Meng strongly refused, but she made the final decision and left them behind.
Of course, the twists and turns in it are unknown to Chen Sheng and the three of them.
The woman leaned on the back pillow wrapped in fur, and sighed in her heart: "I only hope that you are the legendary master." ”
The word "superior", but I don't know who it refers to.
As the night deepened, Tian Meng, who was at the head of the procession, ordered to rest, ordered a few clever brothers to stand on guard around him, and sat down in front of the raised fire without saying a word.
Behind the thick night, not far from the boulder, stood a young man with a sword, his eyes like torches.
Sweeping the people in the caravan with his divine sense, Cui Fangbai frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you see anyone?"
Inside the carriage, Chen Sheng grinned, holding a high-quality breath charm in his hand.
