Wu Tiecheng sat on horseback, his waist straighter than a javelin. He scanned his surroundings like a falcon, and no strange situation could escape his eagle eyes. The task of escorting the tribute is extremely important, so His Royal Highness King Jing handed over this errand to their "Iron Blood Battalion" to be responsible, as the leader of the Iron Blood Battalion, he is by no means the kind of reckless man who has no courage and no strategy. King Jing takes a fancy to his calmness, prudence, and good combat power!

As the old saying goes, the closer you get to the imperial capital, the more you can't relax. If something happens here, he won't be able to explain it to King Jing.

In the entire escort team, only he knew that the five carts were filled with ordinary belongings, and the real treasures were hidden in the big banner in his hand.

Seeing that it was a tribute escorted by the army, there was really no robber who had the audacity to come and rob the road. Even if they had the courage to do so, they might not know that the real treasure was hidden in the flagpole of the banner. As long as the flagpole is not lost, even if some ordinary belongings are lost, it is not a big deal. Wu Tiecheng is confident in his skills, and he is sure that he has the ability to protect the flagpole without losing it.

"You're about to enter Langya Town, and when you get to the town, the brothers can rest for a while, eat some dry food, and then set off!" Wu Tiecheng shouted.

The soldiers burst into cheers. After such a long journey, I can finally rest for a while. For them, it's a rare opportunity to relax. There are still fifty miles to go to the imperial capital, and everyone feels in their hearts that there must be no problem with this mission. Who is so bold as to dare to loot tribute near the imperial capital?

What they didn't expect was that there was really such a person, who was bolder than the sky.

When the team marched to the entrance of Langya Town, the strange change rose sharply!

Without warning, the horses in front of them fell into a big pit, and only the sound of "purring" horses and cursing soldiers were heard one after another, and the dozen or so horsemen in front of them fell into the big pit!

In the face of such a sudden change, you can see how a well-trained iron army is calm and terrifying. After the companions in front fell into the pit, the team behind did not panic in the slightest, and the soldiers quickly reined in the reins, and the team came to a sudden halt in an extremely orderly manner.

"The front team is responsible for inspecting the enemy situation, rescuing companions, the left team, the right team, guarding the tribute in situ, and the rear team paying attention to vigilance!" Wu Tiecheng quickly gave the order, and everything was under his control.

Suddenly, Wu Tiecheng smelled the smell of saltpeter sulfur, and before he could react, the rear of the team crackled and the sound of firecrackers rang out. Although the soldiers can still keep their calm, horses are beasts after all, and even if they are highly trained, they are still animals, and their wisdom is limited. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, the horses were completely out of control, and they began to rush forward with instinctive fear, no matter how much their owners on horseback shouted and whipped, they could not stop them from running!

Although they knew that there was a big pit ahead, the war horses still ran forward without hesitation, so these war horses carried the soldiers on their backs and jumped into the pit like dumplings in the pot.

Wu Tiecheng was no exception, his war horse was frightened, no matter how he controlled it, he couldn't stop the footsteps of this beast, and with a "poof", even people and horses were planted into the pit. After a while, a large white smoke floated in the big pit, and in a moment it became a piece, and it was difficult to see the five fingers in the big pit, and it was gray and impossible to see anything clearly.

Wu Tiecheng stood up, holding the big flag tightly in his hand and refusing to let go, and was about to call his soldiers to regroup, but he was unexpectedly hit by a war horse rushing behind him, in order to maintain balance, he temporarily released the flagpole in his hand and supported the ground with his hands. At the moment when the flagpole was about to fall, a long black rope suddenly appeared in the fog like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and with a shake of lightning, it circled around the flagpole a few times, and before Wu Tiecheng could react, it suddenly closed, and the flagpole disappeared in an instant in the thick white fog with the long rope!

Wu Tiecheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy! What about their iron-blooded battalion's unparalleled combat strength? After tossing for a long time, he didn't even see a single hair of the enemy, even if you could fight hard, who would you fight with? Will you fight with firecrackers and big pits?

What puzzled him was, how did the other party know that the real treasure was hidden in the flagpole?

When the fog cleared and the soldiers dragged their horses up from the pit, they found their commander Wu Tiecheng standing on the edge of the pit in despair, as if he had lost his soul.

A soldier went to check it and came over happily to report: "Report to the commander, the tribute is intact, it seems that these thieves dare not offend the general Huwei, and they ran away after a bluff......"

"Get out!" Wu Tiecheng's eyes were about to split, and he really wanted to chop this sycophant subordinate!

By the time the Iron Blood Battalion recovered from the chaotic situation, Song Li had already taken the brothers of the Justice Alliance twenty miles away.

Although more than thirty brothers came this time, only Da Da knew that Song Li had come to loot the tribute. Others simply followed the huge orders, prepared an ambush, and then carried out the plan. Because the Ming Wangfu and the Jingwang Mansion didn't deal with each other very much, these people thought that Song Li deliberately stumbled King Jing's army, but they didn't think that there was such a big conspiracy hidden behind him.

Because Song Li was only interested in the snow mountain black mud stem in the flagpole, their action this time was relatively simple. The official road passes through the middle of Langya Town, so Langya Town is a necessary place for cars and horses. Song Li asked his subordinates to dig a big pit at the entrance of Langya Town, and a lot of blinding powder was sprinkled in the pit. These blinds are not toxic, but they can spread easily, and can shroud everything around them in a fog for a very short period of time, leaving no one visible on the other side. As a talented alchemist, configuring this low-level blinding powder was a piece of cake for Song Li.

For a well-trained army, it is just such a trap and does not cause any confusion. So Song Li prepared the second follow-up move, hid the firecrackers and thunder in the rear of the escort team, once the horses in front fell into the big pit, someone immediately lit the fuse, at this time the firecrackers rang out like beads, even if the soldiers could still keep calm, the horses would definitely be chaotic!

Driven by the sound of firecrackers, the horses will surely rush forward blindly, and there is no doubt that they will fall into the pit. Song Li didn't wait for others, just waited for the officer in charge of the banner to fall off his horse, and swept the banner away with a long rope prepared in advance, and everything was unaware. Although that commander was powerful, Song Li, under the cover of blinding fans, chose just the right time, and he succeeded.

The whole operation was clean and clean, and everything was done in Song Li's plan. No deviations appeared.

After the operation, Song Li did not join his brothers, but retreated in two ways, and he himself went one way, and took his brothers to the other way.

Song Li is a generous person, and since his brothers have contributed, he will naturally not treat him badly. So the gold coins have been prepared in advance and handed over to the giant, and after completing the task, these boys will each have 1000 gold coins. The premise is that this matter must not be publicized to the outside world, otherwise the reward will be withdrawn. 1,000 gold coins is not a small amount, enough for them to spend a long time in the Holy Lion City, who wants to spit out the fat in their mouths? Besides, everyone is not stupid, although they don't know that Song Li is robbing tribute, but after all, it is the army of the imperial capital that is dealing with it, unless they are impatient, who will shout all over the street that they have cleaned up the army guarding the tribute?

Although Song Li is very bold, the less trouble the better. Looting tribute is a felony, and it is always good to have one less person to know.

The reason why he retreated separately from the others was to avoid people's eyes and take out the treasure from the flagpole.

After the successful operation, Song Li found a secluded place, unscrewed the top of the flagpole, and found that there were two ** brocade sewn packages in the flagpole.

After returning home, when he came to his cultivation room, Song Li opened the two packages one by one with joy.

The first package contained a hundred-year-old snow mountain black mud stem!

This is a thick arm, more than a foot long black mud stem, the shape is similar to a tender lotus, the whole body is snow-white, crystal like jade, and the surface is still full of faint brilliance. At first glance, it is a treasure containing the aura of heaven and earth. Song Li happily put away this snow mountain black mud stem, no matter the size, shape, or appearance, this black mud stem is a first-class boutique. If it flows to the market, it is estimated that it will make the alchemists crazy! The elixir is precious, which means that the genius earth treasure that can refine the elixir is also precious. A hundred-year-old snow mountain black mud stem, that is a good material that can refine a lot of good pills, who will not be moved when they see it?

If the snow mountain black mud stem was in Song Li's expectation, then the contents of the second package were unexpected surprises.

After Song Li opened the package, he found that it was actually a booklet with a navy blue cover, and the text on the cover was crooked, which Song Li didn't recognize, thinking that it should be in Tibetan language. Fortunately, there is a line of small characters next to it that is the Holy Lion text, and Song Li can see it clearly, it is the five words "Dragon Elephant Like a Palm".

Song Li's heart moved, hearing this name, it seemed to be some kind of combat skill belonging to the Angzang Kingdom. Song Li has been cultivating for so long, and he doesn't have his own combat skills. Song Xinghai studied swordsmanship, but Song Li was not very interested in swordsmanship, and he was always looking for a combat technique that suited him. This time, by chance, I actually got a book of palm cheats, which was really unexpected.
