The scorching sun could not hinder people's activities in the slightest, and the Lin Family Dart Bureau had already prepared everything, with three carts of red iron ore.

Red iron ore contains only a small part of red iron, and the refining of red iron is not something that ordinary blacksmiths can do, it must be refined by secret methods, and ordinary blacksmiths cannot process and refine this red iron.

Tang Ming also arrived on time, not very early, almost a quarter of an hour away from the agreed time, a quarter of an hour in advance is his code of conduct, it will be more calm to do so, although his strength is enough to make everyone wait for him to play at the last moment, but he doesn't like to deliberately be high-profile.

However, when Lin Jian heard the news that Tang Ming had arrived, he also greeted him at the door of the dart bureau early: "Master Tang is here! Come in, come in, come in......"

After a while, he saw two people behind him, one was in his thirties, with a bright head without a single hair, and the other was an old man with an inconspicuous appearance.

"This is my good friend, Brother Zhen Liang from Chishui City! Lin Jian introduced Tang Ming with a smile, and then pointed to the old man, "This is Zhen Liu." ”

The bald Zhen Liang walked in front, and the old man Zhen Liu followed behind, obviously Zhen Liang was the leader of this incident, and the old man should be a follower or housekeeper.

"The two of you are polite!" Tang Ming clenched his fists slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, although he was the youngest, he was not inferior to these people at all in terms of strength, and he didn't have to be too humble.

Tang Ming looked at the other party's brain and couldn't help but complain secretly: "Hey, this Zhen Liang's head is really like a light bulb, it's really bright!"

"This is the head of my Gushan Sect in Qunshan County, Tang Ming and Tang!" Lin Jian also said to the two.

"Master Tang is polite, I have heard the name of Master Tang's Wind Sword for a long time, and he defeated Zhao Yi, the wind and rain sword who has been famous for many years in the Yongle Gang, in three moves, he is indeed a hero out of a young man!

Although Zhen Liang is not bad at hugging his fists, he is not too close, and it is difficult to say whether it is really as long as he said.

The old man behind him also clenched his fists, but from his expression, he didn't care much.

Tang Ming could also see from the old man's figure that he should be an internal qi martial artist, as for where the specific strength is, it is really hard to say.

Internal qi is the same as Yuan Li, which belongs to the method of internal secrets, so there is no special method to really see the strength of the other party at a glance.

"The escort of the items this time still needs to rely on the strength of the Tang master. Zhen Liang was also very polite to Tang Ming.

"Wherever and wherever you are, you should be entrusted with the things of loyalty. Tang Ming said, this time he not only accepted the commission of the Zhen family and Lin Jian on the surface, but also received the commission of the task panel, so he would naturally try his best to complete the matter.

"This time, Brother Zhen Liang will also walk with us, return to Chishui City, and show us the way. ”

After Lin Jian introduced the two sides, he continued: "Then let's go, and the rest of the items have been prepared." ”

There are thirty people going this time, Lin Jian himself will personally come to press this dart, the value of this dart is quite high, and they are all boutique routes, this time the Lin family dart bureau is also considered to be an elite, and the darts are all good players in the Lin family dart game.

Each of the three carts of red iron ore is pulled by two horses, and the plan is to travel 100 miles a day every day, and it takes 30 days to go to Chishui City.

However, it is not so easy, after all, a plan is a plan, and the steepness of the mountain road and the unpredictable weather are unpredictable, and it is not so easy to achieve a hundred miles a day.

Although Tang Ming and the Lin Family Dart Bureau basically take the official road, because the traffic in this world is really not so developed, there is no wide and accessible road, so it is very difficult to walk.

On the twelfth day of departure, the dart team had already walked far out of the surrounding boundaries of Gunsan County, and even Lin Jian was not familiar with the road here, so he was probably located by following a brief map and the crowds he encountered at any time.

Boom, there was a constant thunderstorm in the sky, and the dark clouds gradually approached, it turned out that the summer weather was supposed to be the sun shining in the afternoon (3 o'clock - 5 o'clock), but there was no light in the sky at this time.

Tang Ming and Lin Jian each rode a horse in front of the entire team, followed by a carriage, although it did not look extravagant on the surface, but it was a high-grade blue horse pulling the carriage.

Cangma is a characteristic horse in Cangzhou, mostly used for war horses, the cyan hooves are its unique, majestic body, and the high-grade Cangma is even more rare, with its ability to travel eight hundred miles a day, if it is not to follow the convoy to escort red iron ore, with its speed, I am afraid that it has now arrived in Chishui City.

"Chief dartman, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon, and the team exploring the road in front of us has heard the news that there is a ruined temple on the second mile road, or you can camp there first!" said to Wang Hai, the dart master, to Lin Jian on a black horse.

Lin Jian looked at the dark clouds in the sky, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to rush today, these days I often sleep in the wild, if the weather is good, build a small cloth shed or simply rest and then set off the next day, if it is this kind of heavy rain, I am afraid it will be very sad to sleep in the wild.

In addition, the whirring wind blew his robe and hunted, but fortunately there was a broken temple that could deal with it for one night, lest it be blown away in the middle of the night along with the small cloth shed.

As soon as Lin Jian heard him, he took out a map made of animal skins from the small bag hanging on the black horse, and estimated how far he had traveled since yesterday to today, and calculated his position.

This place should belong to a territory called the Wild Boar Forest, which is rich in wild boars, and the wild boars here are larger than other places, and there are few people within a radius of 100 miles, and there are almost no villages and towns, and even if you walk to the evening today, you can't reach the next populated village.

"Okay, brothers, before the rain falls, everyone hurry as soon as possible, and set up camp in the ruined temple today, and then talk about the rest!" Lin Jian also ordered directly.

"Master Tang, Brother Zhen, seeing that the weather and heavy rain are coming soon, we will first go to a ruined temple two miles away to settle down for one night, and then continue to hurry tomorrow morning. Regarding the key points in the two teams, Lin Jian still said to the two of them separately, one is the best in the team, and the other is the employer.

Tang Ming nodded for the so-called, "It's good that Mr. Lin decides." ”

Zhen Liang poked his head out of the carriage, looking at the sky, it was indeed a bit of a twilight and dark clouds pressing down on the city, and it was not easy to continue on the road: "Okay, then go to the broken temple and camp first." ”

Clang, six horses pulling three carts of red iron ore, kept hurrying, and the sound was heard far away in the whirring wind.

For this kind of wilderness where there is no serious official road, Lin Jian will often send three or four dart masters to explore the road first, so as to avoid going to a dead end or a path that is impassable by his own darts.

When Lin Jian was about to change lanes, he left a code and mark for several dart masters at the agreed place, and they would naturally come over after a while.

It's just that what they don't notice is that something has been eyeing them.
