Chapter 13: Chance Encounters

The midday sun makes people dare not look directly, and people will avoid the sun if they are fine. Under the eaves, in the shade of the trees, drinking tea and chatting is not pleasant.

Chen Mo, who was galloping on horseback, was now sleepy and tired, and there was this lingering sunshine. Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he slowly stopped the high-speed war horse.

I haven't had much rest since yesterday, and the war horse that compares to the five martial artists of the day after tomorrow is also a little unbearable at this time.

Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, looked at the steaming horses with snorts, and looked up at the sky again. Turning to the commander, he said, "It is almost noon now, and the horses are tired, and their speed has dropped markedly. You take the medicine back first to avoid accidents. ”

The commander thought about it and agreed, five hundred cavalry was enough to ensure Chen Mo's safety. didn't hesitate, took the wooden box and went away directly.

The speed of the commander far exceeded that of ordinary grandmasters, and there were four or five hundred miles left, and at his speed, he could almost reach it in an hour or so.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the commander that Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. There's no need to hurry, and there's no need to rush next.

Chen Mo relaxed, and instantly felt that his whole body was sore. Sure enough, no matter how brave and strong you imagine yourself, you can't stop the fact that your eyes are high and low.

When he was no longer in a hurry, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't be in a hurry, so a group of people found a shady place to rest.

In order to otherwise the cavalry would be too tired, Chen Mo decided to pay more attention to it. As for whether they need to rest or not, Chen Mo feels that they do.

Are they tired themselves? Well, they must be tired! They definitely need to rest!

Thinking about it like this, Chen Mo felt that he was really good, there were not many people who were so considerate of his subordinates!

can run around under the scorching sun, either a caravan or a person who serves the forces.

Phantom Moon City is the northernmost city in the Northern Plains, and it is three thousand miles away from the nearest city in China, but it is closer to Qingqiu City in Daliang, only more than a thousand miles.

Daliang Qingqiu City is rich in green salt, and the amount of green salt traded from Daliang in Beiyuan every year is enough for Daliang to feed millions of elite soldiers. Elite soldiers are different from ordinary armies, and the minimum condition for selection is to have internal strength, which shows how much Beiyuan spends in order to buy green salt.

Salt is a necessity for people. Kitahara, it's not a place where salt is not produced, but it's just ordinary salt. Green salt, on the other hand, is fine salt and has no impurities.

If you can use better fine salt, then it is naturally preferred, and if not, coarse salt is the same. Ordinary people can also solve the problem of food and clothing, how can they ask for more? Therefore, the common people are not picky about whether they eat coarse salt or fine salt.

The people are not picky, and those who are powerful will not leave fine salt and eat coarse salt. Other dignitaries and dignitaries, rich and powerful people eat fine salt, and if you eat coarse salt, it will be a shame to say it! So there are countless people who sell green salt privately.

For this reason, many people in the two countries have been exterminated, but they have been banned repeatedly.

Fortunately, Daliang secretly intervened, and most of the money went into the hands of the royal family. Kitahara has a headache, and the royal family of Kitahara didn't get any benefit from it.

After some communication, an agreement was finally reached with the girder. The green salt is purchased by the official of the Northern Plains, and the girder is not allowed to be sold privately to the people of the Northern Plains.

High profits can't stop greedy people, and some forces use all kinds of means to secretly buy and buy.

The Feihong Gang was founded thirty years ago, and during the suppression of illegal salt by the Northern Plains royal family, it developed rapidly with its own network, and now it is a force to be reckoned with in Phantom Moon City.

Gang leader Li Shibai ranks in the top ten of the Phantom Moon with the strength of the innate and backward realm. The three innate masters under his command, dozens of acquired martial artists, except for the Phantom Moon City Mansion, no one dares to provoke.

Wu Yuan drove the carriage while cursing the damn weather. This year's weather seems to be abnormal, the Chinese New Year is only two months away, and recently the weather has suddenly become extremely hot. In previous years, it was about to snow, but this year it was unusually hot.

"It's so hot, Uncle Wu, let's rest for a while and walk!" a crisp voice came from beside him.

Wu Yuan squinted at the dazzling gaze, and said softly: "Well, I've been on the road all morning, so let's rest for a while." ”

Li Yuqiong complained: "If I knew earlier, I would have gone home later, this weather is too hot!"

Wu Yuan looked at Li Yuqiong dotingly. "You've been in the Qinghong Sect for most of the year, and the gang leader often says you've forgotten about him. ”

"No, the master has been urging me to cultivate, and there is no time to rest at all. It wasn't until I broke through the innate that I escaped the 'clutches' of my master."

"You can't say that about Sect Master Duan, if it weren't for Sect Master Duan's unremitting cultivation, would you be able to break through the innate at this age?"

Speaking of Li Yuqiong's innate realm, Wu Yuan was also proud. At the beginning of Li Shibai's founding of the Feihong Gang, he followed Li Shibai. From having nothing to now becoming a tyrant in Phantom Moon City, he has paid too much for it.

For the helper, who is also the daughter of an old man, he has seen it since he was a child, and he is completely like his own daughter.

He was extremely proud of her becoming a congenital master at the age of sixteen. In Phantom Moon City, except for the great general Chen Hong, the youngest congenital was set by Chen Ying, but Chen Ying was already twenty-one years old at that time.

As for the great general Chen Hong, people will only regard him as an idol, and no one will compare anything with him.

When she learned that Li Yuqiong had broken through the congenital, the helper Li Shibai couldn't wait to let her come back. This month, I happened to go to Qingqiu City to buy goods, and Wu Yuan asked Ying to run this trip, mainly to pick up Li Yuqiong. Otherwise, this already familiar route would not require a veteran like him to personally copy the knife and go into battle.

"Ahh

When Wu Yuan heard the prestige, his hairs stood on end in an instant. Although Li Yuqiong has a superb realm, she has not experienced setbacks and lacks experience. He is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and he has never experienced anything in traveling south and north, and he can find the special features of that group of people at a glance.

Not to mention that they are still wearing armor in this weather, just saying that the other party's seemingly casual but actually maintaining a formation, as well as that vigilant gaze, all prove the fact that they are not easy to mess with.

Wu Yuan cautiously ordered: "Hurry up and go, don't provoke them." ”

Although the rest of the team didn't have Wu Yuan's eyesight, they were not rookies who went out for the first time, so they naturally found that the group of people was not easy to mess with. The convoy, which had been slowing down, accelerated again.

"Hey, they're still wearing so tightly on such a hot day, oops, they're still wearing masks, or demon masks!" Li Yuqiong's voice sounded again.

Wu Yuan's face changed, and he hurriedly whispered, for fear of annoying the group of people. "Miss, be quiet, don't let them hear. ”

Li Yuqiong was surprised: "Why? I didn't say anything bad about them, why are you afraid of them?"

Wu Yuan was speechless, and secretly said that this girl was spoiled, and she didn't know that people were sinister. stopped talking, just pulled Li Yuqiong away.

Li Yuqiong is not a fool, but she is just simple-minded, and at this time she also discovered the abnormality of the team. Not to mention Wu Yuan's weird performance, the rest of the team also didn't say a word, which was completely opposite to the previous noise. He didn't say anything like rest anymore, and followed the team.

Wu Yuan wanted to stay away from that group of people as soon as possible, but it often backfired.

Chen Mo took the centurion, that is, the centurion on the first floor, to stop the convoy. If nothing else, he's hungry!

When I was resting, I was still feeling that I had too little experience, and I didn't even prepare much dry food, and when I was in Wanli Villa, I wanted to go back as soon as possible, and I didn't think about anything else at all. At the same time, he is also complaining that the commander does not remind himself.

The commander who was ordered to hurry had no choice but to lie down his gun, with the physical fitness of the cavalry of the Dead Realm, it would not be much of a problem not to eat or drink for two or three days, and he would naturally not consider these for a two-day journey.

Of course, it is better to have food, so as not to consume internal force support. But he didn't care about the attrition, and neither did the cavalry. This caused Chen Mo to have no food to eat.

happened to see a convoy passing by, Chen Mo was naturally not polite, and was ready to step forward to buy some food.

Wu Yuan stared nervously at the two people who came, and asked cautiously: "In Xia Feihong to help Wu Yuan, what do you two have to say!"

Chen Mo was happy when he heard this, and Feihong helped him listen to Chen Chong talk about it, it was a gang in Phantom Moon City, and its strength should not be underestimated.

So he smiled and said: "It turned out to be the Feihong Gang of the Wild Lion, I have been looking up for a long time, please forgive me for taking the liberty of stopping you." ”

The mad lion is Li Shibai's title, and Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, since he knew Li Shibai's name, he must have to give some face.

didn't dare to hold it up, and said politely: "It's okay, I don't know what happened to the young man?"

"Well, that, I'm in a bit of a hurry to go out, and I don't have enough dry food on my body, so I want to buy some from you. Chen Mo was more or less embarrassed, after all, it was the first time for him to go far away, and all the experiences were the first time. Relying on the experience of two lives as a human being, he can barely advance and retreat, and he will not make a fool of himself.

Wu Yuan was relieved, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, as the saying goes, rely on your parents at home, rely on your brothers when you go out, just eat a little, you can't talk about buying it or not." ”

After speaking, let the people behind him take out the dry food prepared by the team, and at the same time guess the origin of these people in his heart.

Hearing this, Chen Mo hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much, but the money still has to be given." As he spoke, he took out a hundred taels of silver tickets.

As long as 500 people don't eat and drink, a hearty meal anywhere is about 100 taels at most.

Seeing that Chen Mo took out only one hundred taels of silver tickets, Li Yuqiong smiled: "You better put away the money, the food we prepared is not ordinary dry food." ”

After saying that, I was a little embarrassed, after all, the meaning of the words was to laugh at the other party's lack of money, although I didn't mean that.

Wu Yuan's face changed suddenly, and he stared nervously at Chen Mo and the others.

Chen Mo blushed a little, and secretly was despised. The other party took out the food without saying a word, so he didn't associate it with other aspects, so naturally he couldn't talk about the idea of being "looked down upon". There will be no brain-dead behavior of "you look down on me, I will take money to stone you to death".
