Volume 2 The Wind Rises Chapter 25 Attacked
At the end of the year, before returning to Yunzhuang, it was very lively at this time. There are more than a dozen horse-drawn carts full of goods, except for the dark iron ore mined this month, some mountain delicacies and game, etc.
Di Xing was organizing the loading of the goods, "Everything is fixed tightly, don't fall off the road", Di Xing shouted as he walked.
There were about fifty casual guards, and there were about five people guarding a carriage.
At this time, Liu Chen was putting the things he was bringing on horseback. In fact, except for a Biquan sword, it was nothing more than some dry food to eat on the road and a few swords to change clothes.
"Brother, how do you look at my horse, isn't it beautiful", Liu Chan'er chose a young foal with soft and flowing hair, and it feels good to the touch.
"It's good," Liu Chen glanced at and commented.
"I think it's good, it's very docile," said Willow Cicada, touching the foal's head with her hand, very happy.
A quarter of an hour later, the convoy was finished.
"Let's go," Liu Tianyu shouted at the forefront. "Let's go," Liu Chen patted Liu Chan'er on the head, turned over on his horse, and followed the convoy.
Liu Chan'er also hurriedly turned over and got on the horse and followed Liu Chen.
From Yuntiandu to Tianlan City, the road is smooth, but there are also some dangers.
For example, bandits who have been entrenched in the Blazing Mountains all year round often take advantage of the perennial fog of the Fog Shadow Forest to ambush passing convoys and rob goods.
On the first day, the roads I walked were basically easy places to walk, and there was no danger. Until, at noon the next day, the convoy came to the foot of the Blazing Mountain. Looking at the bare mountains in front of them, everyone cheered up. Although, it has never happened that the Blazing Bandits attacked the Liu family's convoy, but it is still necessary to be careful.
Every year, some people die in the Blazing Mountains, and they can't do it if they're not careful.
Fortunately, the road to Tianlan City is built along the foot of the mountain, and there is no need to climb the mountain, but there are often falling rocks rolling down, which is extremely dangerous.
The convoy cautiously walked along the foot of the mountain, "Brother, you said that bandits are so rampant here, why didn't the city lord send people to exterminate them and let them cause trouble here." ”
"I heard that this gang of bandits can come and go in the mountains and forests without a trace. Moreover, in the blazing mountain, there are countless caves, and once you get in, it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the terrain to come out. Liu Chen also listened to what others said, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
At this time, the Blazing Mountain bandits' lair was arguing.
"Big brother, the Liu family, as one of the four major families in Tianlan City, is not easy to mess with, in the past, we only robbed those small households, why do we have to do something to the Liu family's convoy this time", the one who spoke was a tall man, with this conspicuous mustache, facing a big man in black who was sitting at the top of the game.
This black-clothed man is the leader of the famous Blazing Bandits here, Wang Dang. His cultivation was already at the peak of the Returning Spirit Realm, and he was just one foot away from buying the gate of the Tiangang Realm.
"Second brother, I don't want to deal with the Liu family, but we can't afford to offend that person. If we don't, we're all going to die in an instant. In fact, in addition to being coerced, the man also promised that if the matter was successful, he would give him a Tiangang Broken Mirror Pill, and when the time came, he would enter the Tiangang realm, and he would go anywhere, even if he gave up the Blazing Mountain that he had operated for many years, he was willing. Although relying on Tiangang to break the mirror pill, reaching the Tiangang realm is the second choice, but it is also the easiest way.
"Alright, that's it, pack your weapons and go. "The king, tell the people to go down and prepare.
Himself, hurried back to the back hall, where there was a person in black at this time, waiting.
"My lord, we have agreed to this matter," Wang Dang said respectfully.
"Well, if this happens, someone will bring it. With that, the man in black strode out.
The Liu family convoy on the other side didn't know that it had been targeted.
The time soon came, night. Fortunately, at this time, it had passed the Blazing Mountain, and the convoy camped on a gentle slope to rest.
"Chen'er, it's been sixteen years, and it's the first time you've gone to Tianlan City. But the cicada has been there several times, you won't blame me for being biased", father and son sat around the fire.
In fact, when he was young, he often begged his father to take him to Tianlan City, but he was refused. But Cicada sometimes goes, for which he and his father have had an awkward relationship.
"No, although my father doesn't say why, I know that you are for my good."
"When you arrive, Tianlan City, you will know the reason why your father did this. ”
At noon on the third day, the convoy arrived at the Fog Shadow Forest. It was noon at the moment, but the forest was still foggy and the visibility was not high. For the sake of safety, Liu Tianyu decided to send someone to explore the way, just in case.
Di Xing, who was following the back of the convoy, pulled the reins and came to Liu Tianyu's side.
"Send a few people to explore the way forward and find out the situation. The others followed behind and calmed down the horses" Liu Tianyu arranged calmly, although he had only walked through last month, it was better to be careful.
"Yes, owner, I'll arrange it", Di Xing picked a few agile guards to explore the way.
Xu Hong, as a chosen pathfinder, is forced to appear young among the crowd, but his skills are not bad. A few people walked forward the way they had done before.
At this time, the fog in the forest drifted away, Xu Hong and the others did not dare to leave too far, and after going deep for a while, they found that it was no different from the past.
Ji Xiu felt a little dizzy and didn't pay much attention at first, but after a while, he only felt that he was sitting on his horse, already shaky.
Peng's sound, Ji Xiu fell directly from the horse.
"High ...... Big brother, fog ...... Poisonous", Ji Xiu, who fell off the horse, knew that he was poisoned, and hurriedly spoke with difficulty.
Gao Xiangwen noticed that the moment Ji Xiu fell from his horse, he knew that it was not good. Listening to Ji Xiu's words at this time, he hurriedly shouted: "Cover your mouth and nose and rush back", as she spoke, she tore off a sleeve, covered her mouth and nose, grabbed Ji Xiu who fell to the ground, and rode back.
And in the dense forest not far away, there was a group of people watching everything, it was the blazing bandits led by Wang Dang.
"Kill them, don't let them go back to report the news", Wang Dang waved his hand, and everyone under his command immediately rushed towards the direction where Gao Xiangwen left.
Because Gao Xiangwen and the others were poisoned, they were soon caught up. Gao Xiangwen immediately made a decision, scattered in all directions, and fled in different directions.
The bandits who were chasing after him also pursued separately. Gao Xiangwen galloped in the forest, but he could not get rid of the pursuit of the incoming people, and he knew that he had met a master.
Suddenly, a powerful palm force struck his back. Gao Xiangwen, reflexively is also a palm, between the bombardments, the power that erupted, directly will, Gao Xiangwen Zhen fell off the horse, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
It was Wang Dang who came to pursue Gao Xiangwen, "A small guard can resist my palm, and it is not a loss to be the guard of a big family."
"You...... Who dares to ...... The Liujia convoy shot", Gao Xiangwen opened his mouth with difficulty breathing.
"Dead man, there is no need to know", after Wang Dang finished speaking, he relieved Gao Xiangwen's life.
