Chapter 21 Departure, Qingping Village

"Drive, drive. Chen Feng threw up the horsewhip in his hand boredly, and with a light whip, he threw it on the cheerful horse running in front of the carriage, and yawned loudly in his mouth. This is the first time he has gone far away, and it is also in the name of business trips. The scenery along the way comes and goes is not much different, at first it is full of interest, but after a long time, it is boring.

"Boom" thunder snorted at Chen Feng and greeted him. Chen Feng rolled his eyes helplessly. Yesterday, the old village chief said that he was asked to go for something, and he was still a little strange, the only thing the village chief had told him in the past five years was to practice well. Who would have thought that the first task given to him in the past five years was to go to Qingpingzhai to pay taxes. Five thousand catties of demon deer blood, three thousand demon deer skins, three thousand demon deer antler velvets, and one hundred snow wolf skins that were peeled off after killing some snow wolves on the periphery of the Changbai Mountains five years ago. Except for the deer blood, which was packed in a Qiankun bag, the other bits and pieces added up to more than a dozen carriages. The leader is Chen Xiu, one of the top ten pavilion chiefs, who is also Chen Feng's fellow clan. More than a dozen carriages and fifty village warriors on horseback went together. Chen Feng's duty is to serve as the armed guard of this convoy and protect the safety of its road. After knowing that Chen Feng was going to go far away, Lan Lan naturally wanted to go with him, of course, thunder was indispensable. But Danchenzi hid in the Lingquan Cave, saying that he had been feeling that someone was secretly snooping recently, and it was safer to be in the Lingquan Cave. And Ning Tan and Hai Chengkun, who have been advancing smoothly by Chen Feng's side all these years, are also in the team. In the past few years, Chen Feng has obtained a lot of martial arts techniques suitable for the two of them from Danchenzi, and the strength of these two people has also progressed very quickly, not to mention that they have stepped into the solid skin period, and they have also touched the edge of the Dao.

However, it is impossible to pull the car with thunder, and Lan Lan, who knew that Chen Feng was going to go far away, said that he had been in Lingquan Village for five years, and he was tired of it, so he had to go out to see the world. With a wave of his hand, the village elder directly dialed an extra carriage. So, Chen Feng and Lan Lan sat in a carriage, and Chen Feng acted as a groom.

"Look, that flower is so beautiful!" Lan Lan pointed to the wildflower path on the side of the road in surprise.

Chen Feng said helplessly: "Miss, how many times have you been surprised along the way, it is just an ordinary wildflower, and Lingquan Village is everywhere." ”

Lan Lan snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "What do you know about this martial idiot? Whether you look good or not depends on your mood, Miss Ben is naturally happy when she goes out for the first time." After five years in Lingquan Village, I know where those flowers and plants grow with my eyes closed, what's there to see?"

Chen Feng said with a straight face: "Aren't you worried?"

Lan Lanqi said, "What am I worried about?"

Chen Feng deliberately quipped: "I heard that there are many powerful earth immortals in Qingping Village, don't you worry about being seen through by those earth immortals that you are a little she-wolf?"

"Ahh

Chen Feng picked up Lan Lan's small fist and said with a smile: "I won't lose to you with my fists and feet." Immediately straightened up, and the two laughed and played.

"Ahh Chen Feng's heart was beating wildly, his face was hot, he had just touched something in his hand that shouldn't have been touched when he was just fighting, bulging, soft, and endlessly evocative. He secretly glanced at Lan Lan, who had a red face and red ears and soft eyes. and water will drip from their eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Chen Feng pretended to be silent on his face, happy in his heart, touched the hand that touched the baby, and sighed, it's good to grow up.

After a while, it was Lan Lan who broke the silence, and at this time, her face calmed down, and she said lightly: "Senior brother, do you know why the old village chief asked you to escort the tax convoy this time?"

Chen Haiqi said: "Isn't it because I'm strong?"

Lan Lan snorted, her coquettish smile like a blooming flower. "You're a thicker face than the walls of the village. ”

She took out a beautiful purse from her arms, Chen Feng knew that it was an extremely valuable Qiankun bag, which was given to Lan Lan by Lan Lan's mother. Lan Lan waved her hand, and there was a pile of spirit stones in the carriage.

The colorful spirit stones exuded Yin Yin aura, and the carriage became full of aura in an instant.

Chen Feng smacked his tongue and said, "This, I'm afraid there are not two thousand yuan, right?"

Lan Lan nodded and said: "The old village chief said that you are the young generation in Lingquan Village with the highest potential, he said that you like to practice swords, but you don't have any good swords in your hands, this time I went to Qingping Village and fought a better one." ”

A warmth welled up in Chen Feng's heart. His own weapon is still the Xuanjin Sword given to him by Ma Cheng from Shanwai Village back then, and the Xuanjin Sword is not a good weapon for this stage of the skin-fixing period, but his current strength is far exceeded, so he naturally feels that it is not very suitable. Fortunately, I have been practicing swordsmanship in Lingquan Cave all these years, and I don't care about it. I just said it casually when I was discussing with Ningtan Hai Chengkun, and I didn't want to be known by the old village chief, so I kept it in my heart. In the past five years, the old village chief has been better to him than his own grandson, and the first thing that comes to mind when there is anything to eat and drink is Chen Feng. Two thousand spirit stones is not a small amount for the old village chief. You must know that the village chief's income is only twenty spirit stones a year, and these two thousand spirit stones are likely to be the savings of the old village chief's life.

In the future, it will be rewarded a hundredfold. Chen Feng secretly swore in his heart.

"Is Brother Feng there?" a gentle male voice rose from outside the carriage.

It was the voice of team leader Chen Xiu. Chen Feng waved his hand to put away the spirit stone, pulled up the curtain of the carriage and said, "Brother Xiu, is there something wrong?"

"A lot of blood was found in the grass on the side of the road ahead. Chen Xiu said with a solemn face.

"Oh?" Chen Feng and Lan Lan looked at each other, their faces full of surprise. You know, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Empire has never heard of robbers or bandits.

At that moment, the two got out of the car, rode on the thunder and followed Chen Xiu forward.

On the side of the wide road, there were blood stains everywhere, and the grass on the side of the road was trampled with potholes. Chen Xiudao: "Looking at these bloodstains, there should be a lot of people fighting here, what is puzzling is, where did the corpses go?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a vendetta, right?"

Lan Lan sniffed and pointed to a low ramp not far from the road: "Go there and have a look." ”

Chen Feng patted his head, how could he forget this little ancestor, the dog's nose has always been more sensitive than people, and Lan Lan's body is an authentic snow wolf.

At that moment, he took the lead, Chen Xiu and the others followed closely, and a group of more than 30 people ran out for several miles, the trees on the hillside were lush and green, and after walking in, there was a place with a radius of 100 meters covered with new mud.

Several people glanced at each other, and Chen Xiu waved his big hand: "Dig!"

The villagers immediately took off their spears, and dozens of people dug on the spot, and after digging a few times, they found a hand.

"Oh my God!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Chen Feng and the others had solemn faces, but in just a moment, they excavated hundreds of corpses. These corpses were all dressed as Han villagers in coarse cloth robes, and they died in a tragic manner. There were old people with gray hair, and there were young children. There were even some young women who were completely red and resentful, apparently greatly insulted during their lifetimes.

Lan Lan's face turned pale, and Chen Feng snorted coldly: "Who dares to act so boldly and recklessly, and dare to commit such a beast form in my Han Realm, this is nearly a thousand lives." ”

Chen Xiu's face was not good-looking, and he said slowly: "I have never heard of anyone daring to be so bold. It is the Northern Barbarians, who have not touched the villages of our empire when they attacked my Qingping Village more than ten years ago. ”

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I went to the nearby villages to have a look, and I had a sense of foreboding in my heart. Things must be very important here. ”

Chen Xiu took out a map of animal skins from his arms, pointed to the map and said: "This is Shangyu Village in Yuyang County, Shangyu Village and my Qingping Village are adjacent to each other, and they often walk around each other, our Lingquan Village is the first village close to Shangyu Village, from Shangyu Village to the north to Qingping, you can save thousands of miles." Twenty or thirty miles to the west, there is a village called Xiaoxi Village, and the people of our village often go to ask for water from the road."

Chen Feng picked up the map, pulled up Lan Lan, rode on the thunder and said, "Let's go to Xiaoxi Village to have a look." ”
