Chapter 39: The Journey
The early morning breeze is cool.
Teng Qingshan was leading more than 20 people under his command to march on the road in the barracks, and Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Qing and Qingyu were seeing him off.
"Brother, there are nearly two thousand miles from here to Chu County, and there are many dangers on the road, you have to be careful!" Qingyu was beside Teng Qingshan, his eyes full of reluctance.
Teng Qingshan smiled and touched Qingyu's head: "Xiaoyu, don't you worry about your brother?"
"My brother is the strongest. Qingyu immediately raised his chin and said confidently.
Teng Qingshan is willing to have a good time in his heart, as for his sister Xiaoyu, not long ago, Qingyu has joined the Guiyuan Sect. I have to admit that Qingyu's talent is good, and after only seven days of cultivating internal strength cheats, internal strength is generated in the body. Although it can't be compared with some geniuses who can practice internal strength on the same day, after all, Qingyu is fourteen years old.
"Xiaoyun, Qingqing girl, if I go out this time, my sister will trouble you to take care of it. Teng Qingshan turned his head to look at the two.
"Needless to say. But you're out there, don't be careless. Naxu County is the most chaotic county. Zhuge Yun also asked.
While speaking, Teng Qingshan and his group had already arrived at the north gate of the Black Armor Army barracks.
Through the north gate, Teng Qingshan has seen a cart of goods outside the north gate, at first glance there are a lot, and there are eight cars alone.
"Xiaoyu, don't send it away. ”。 Teng Qingshan asked.
"Hmm. "Qingyu. also looked at Teng Qinghu, "Cousin, listen to my brother more on the road! Don't make trouble." ”
"Aoyama is the capital of the capital, of course I have to listen. Teng Qinghu smiled.
Zhuge Qing, who had been silent beside him, couldn't help but say, "Brother Qingshan, be careful on the road!"
Teng Qingshan glanced at it, smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Teng Qinghu grinned and turned his head to look out of the door.
"Let's go, let's go out!" Teng Qingshan ordered.
The two centurions and the two squad sergeants under his command all led the horses out of the gate. When he came out, Teng Qingshan saw clearly that there were ten trucks parked here. There were also two spacious carriages, and nearly 100 people gathered around. Most of them were wearing armor that looked like snake scales.
"Haha, this should be Teng Qingshan, Teng Du Tong!" an old man with a gray head stepped forward to greet him.
Teng Qingshan nodded, glanced at the nearly 100 guards, and said with a smile: "Your Zhu family is rich in the world, and you have this multiple guards." It seems that on the way, my brothers will also have an easy time. ”
"This is also some of my master's manpower, how can it compare to the Black Armor Army!" the old man smiled, "Old Wu Tan! My master is over there!"
Teng Qingshan had already seen a burly man not far away, followed by two guards.
"Teng Du Tong!" The man smiled directly, "I have only been in Jiangning County for a few days, and I have heard about the great name of Teng Du Tong! The youngest and most promising Du Tong of the Black Armor Army! I was still thinking that it would be difficult to see Teng Du Tong. But I didn't expect Uncle Zhuge to come to Tengdutong to help me protect this trip this time! It also allowed me to see Tengdutong in advance! I was overjoyed in my heart!"
"This is Zhu Jiuye, right?" Teng Qingshan knew the identity of the other party.
The ninth son of Zhu Tong, the rich God of Wealth, Zhu Chongshi.
"What are you shouting Ninth Master? Call me old out of thin air, Teng Dutong can afford me, and call me a brother. Zhu Chongshi said with a smile.
Teng Qingshan secretly praised in his heart, the God of Wealth Zhu Tong also has the means to educate his son, this Zhu Chongshi talks and laughs like a spring breeze in the valley, and his heart is comfortable. Teng Qingshan hates to meet the kind of gentleman who thinks he is superior and calls others around.
When Teng Qingshan and Zhu Chongshi talked, they became brothers.
Soon, the convoy moved forward.
......
After leaving the city gate, he marched on the official road, and the degree was slightly faster.
"Dad, I want to ride a horse!"
Not long after the carriage marched, a little boy's head poked out of the carriage window and shouted to Zhu Chongshi on horseback.
"You haven't even learned, what kind of horse to ride, stay in the car with your mother. Zhu Chongshi shouted.
The little boy stuck out his tongue and shrank into the car.
"Brother Zhu dragged his family with him this time?" Teng Qingshan was a little surprised, and asked Zhu Chongshi, who was parallel to him, "From here to Chu County, danger along the way is unavoidable." Why not let your sister-in-law and children stay in your hometown. ”
"Brother Qingshan, you don't know. Zhu Chongshi said with a smile, "This time I dragged my family and returned from overseas." It's hard to leave your family overseas, and of course you have to come back together. ”
"Overseas?" Teng Qingshan was a little surprised.
Zhu Chongshi nodded and didn't elaborate.
Teng Qingshan knew that the other party had a secret, so he changed the topic and said curiously: "Brother Zhu, I haven't been to sea yet, what is there in this East China Sea?"
"This East China Sea is boundless. Zhu Chongshi sighed, "If you don't go to sea, you will never know how terrible this sea is." In the middle of the sea, there will also be many islands. Some islands are empty, while others are populated. Some are barbaric and uncivilized. Of course, there are also many of us Kyushu people who live in the past. ”
Teng Qingshan nodded silently.
After coming to Guiyuan Sect for so long, Teng Qingshan also has some understanding of this world's geographical knowledge.
Kyushu is vast and vast, and its people are tens of thousands.
And to the west of Kyushu, it is a desert land, and occasionally an oasis, with many small countries.
In the north, there are vast grasslands, and further north, there is the North Sea.
In the east, it is the most vast East China Sea.
In the south of Kyushu, it is known as the Southern Wilderness and the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the boundless Southern Wilderness, which can be said to be a forbidden area for human beings! Because there are too many endless dangers, and even some terrible monsters. But legend has it...... Many warriors pursued martial arts and went to the Southern Wilderness for penance. In the Southern Wilderness, there are also many cheats and treasures left behind by the death of warriors.
But......
The most prosperous and rich, with the most masters, and the most sects is still the land of Kyushu!
Those small overseas islands and small countries in the Western Regions can't be compared with the masters on the land of Kyushu.
"People living on overseas islands live in poverty. Zhu Chongshi sighed, "After drifting on overseas islands for several years, I never want to go to sea again in my life." ”
"Brother Zhu, drifting overseas, is it for business?" asked Teng Qingshan.
"Business is one reason, and another reason is that I have wanted to travel all over the world since I was a child. Zhu Chongshi sighed, "I visited the countries of the Western Desert before I was twenty years old, and the wilderness is close to our Yangzhou." It's just south of Yangzhou! Actually, it's nothing, it's just all kinds of small hills and hills, a large number of big trees that I don't know how many years have grown, and all kinds of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and beasts, I stayed in the outskirts of the wilderness for more than a month, and communicated with some warriors who broke into the adventure, and then I didn't go in again. ”
Zhu Chongshi looked around and said with a smile: "After wandering for so long, our land of Kyushu is still the richest." ”
......。 Teng Qingshan must be admitted!
What he had predicted was too good, and the progress of the convoy was even slower than he had imagined! Although the wagons were pulled by horses, the roads on this official road were all dirt roads. Small pits, stones, clods of dirt, too many. The progress of this truck is naturally slow.
It is estimated that people can catch up with the truck by trotting.
In one day, it was about 120 miles away.
The road was hard, Teng Qingshan and they crossed the boundary of two counties in a row, and on the eleventh day of the journey, Teng Qingshan and they finally entered the boundary of Xuyang County.
......
Rushing!
Before, the sky was fine, but suddenly the wind suddenly rose, the clouds were thick, the thunder roared, and there was a torrential rain! The pouring rain made the hurried convoy miserable.
"It's raining so hard, it would be nice to have a place to hide from the rain. Zhu Chongshi smiled bitterly.
When it rained, the dirt road became muddy, and the progress in front of the convoy was of course slower. And it was not comfortable to be hit by this rainstorm.
"Qiang!", "Qiang!", "Qiang!", ......
The black-armored sergeants in heavy armor made a vibrating sound when the raindrops hit them.
"Aoyama. Teng Qinghu rode beside him, "Haha, let you wear heavy armor, you don't wear it, look, it's wet now." Teng Qinghu and the others were covered with heavy armor all over their bodies, and their faces and hands were exposed. There is also a neck guard on the inside of the neck, which just blocks the rain completely and prevents them from wetting.
Teng Qingshan smiled.
There are a total of twenty-three black-armored soldiers and horses, including Teng Qingshan, and the others are all wearing a full set of heavy armor according to the order, only Teng Qingshan only wears inner armor, leg guards, arm guards, and nothing else. For Teng Qingshan...... This cold iron heavy armor is not as good as his own body in terms of defense alone!
Moreover, if you are wearing a full set of heavy armor, it will affect many aspects such as flexibility.
"Brother Zhu, there is nothing around to hide from the rain, everyone bear with me, the rainstorm will come and go quickly this summer......! You also keep your people on the alert. Now let's enter the territory of Xuyang County. Xu County is a very chaotic county. There are a lot of horse thieves. The prestige of my Black Armor Army, I'm afraid it won't be able to deter the crazy horse thieves in Xuyang County!"
"Hmm. Zhu Chongshi also nodded solemnly.
The Black Armor Army can walk sideways in Jiangning County.
But in other counties, it depends on how many people you have from the Black Armor Army. If there are few people, they don't care if they kill you together. As long as the hands and feet are clean, and no handles are left.
......
Teng Qingshan's guess was right, not long after their convoy entered the territory of Xuyang County, their information was learned by a group of powerful horse thieves in Xuyang County.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
With a curse in his mouth, a lean one-eyed man was running towards a house not far away.
"Fourth master!" the two men at the door of the house immediately greeted with a smile.
"Big boss, big boss!" The lean one-eyed man shouted loudly as soon as he pushed open the door, "There is a fat sheep, a big fat sheep!"
"What are you yelling!" shouted.
A bald man with a naked upper body walked out of the hall, with two hideous scars on his chest, at this moment, he looked at the lean one-eyed man with dissatisfaction: "Little four, you said that there is a fat sheep? ”
"Big boss! This is definitely a big deal! You have to be the big boss!" The thin one-eyed man's eyes lit up, "The caravan also invited people from the Black Armor Army of the Guiyuan Sect to protect the goods!"
"Oh?" the bald man's eyes lit up, "How many people are there in the Black Armor?"
