Chapter 25: The Great Fire of Roundtown

Three days later, Lin Yang, who was sitting in a wagon of a caravan traveling far away, was calm and concentrating, carefully checking the mission jade slip and map. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In three days, starting from Songgu City, he has walked more than 300 miles so far, and there is still an extremely long distance from the Southern Barren Forest mentioned on the map of the mission Jade Jane, and in Lin Yang's guess, it will take at least ten days to reach the South Barren Forest.

That's not even counting the search for a town to rest overnight and restore the spirit and morale of the carrier's dart team.

The caravan was not large, with a total of more than thirty people.

Except for a strong middle-aged man who was in charge of merchandise, the rest were hired merchants.

And these merchants are all middle-aged looking for local martial arts practitioners in Songgu City.

Although the clothes they wore and the weapons they held, carried, and carried on their backs were different, each of them carried a black silk scarf on their heads, in case they encountered mountain bandits and robbers, and injured their own people in the melee.

At this moment, a slightly bizarre, continuous melancholy whining sounded, and the long carriage suddenly stopped.

Lin Yang opened his eyes, exuded his spiritual sense, and immediately saw a strong man in the front team of the caravan, after crossing his carriage, he came to a carriage with the most guards, the largest, and the richest carriage in the entire team, and reminded: "Rich man, the caravan is still a hundred miles away from its next destination, Yuanzhen, and now that it is getting late, I suggest that you rest and recuperate, and you can see it when you leave tomorrow?"

After a while, a muffled voice came from inside the carriage: "Don't rest, keep going." ”

"But everyone is a little tired..."

"I said, move on, do you want to delay the time and get more money for the escort?"

Hearing this reprimand, the strong man looked helplessly at his companion, shook his head, and walked towards the front of the team.

Lin Yang in the carriage raised his eyebrows and was silent.

He was able to follow the caravan and get such a treatment as a carriage, not because the rich man in the mouth of the strong man just now was good, but because Lin Yang paid more than two pieces of silver, and the rich man in the mouth of the strong man was the middle-aged man who was responsible for the transportation and goods of the entire caravan.

After the carriage continued to set off, Lin Yang pondered for a while, his expression was calm, and he continued to close his eyes, familiarizing himself with the task Yu Jianlai.

As the night grew darker, all the people who escorted the caravan were also a little sleepy, their steps were vain, their eyes were tired, and their speed was much slower.

After feeding a pill to the little white monkey, Lin Yang couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and look at the gray and lightless night sky.

Just then, a scorching smell soaks the tip of the nose.

Lin Yang couldn't help but squint his eyes and wondered, "This... What does it smell like?"

Lin Yang, who felt the fifth layer of the soul and was extremely sensitive to the six senses, suddenly frowned, put down the curtain, looked at the little white monkey with bared teeth, and groaned.

Lin Yang, who had not found anything after exuding his spiritual sense, suddenly sat up straight in shock by a red light in his spiritual sense.

Under the scope of spiritual sense exploration, this red light was extremely dazzling and extremely obvious, and the red color and the smell of blood that entered the tip of his nose made Lin Yang's entire face gloomy.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yang immediately recited the mantra in his heart, concealed his breath, withdrew his spiritual sense, and the caution and sorrow on his face were not an ordinary person on the surface, but a cultivator like Lin Yang.

This person had just killed someone, and there were a lot of them, and under the gathering of evil qi, such an abnormal red glow would appear in the spiritual sense investigation.

Thinking about this, Lin Yang suppressed the hesitation in his heart, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The caravan continued to move on, slowly, but for miles at this point.

Suddenly, under the sound of a rapid drum, these merchants, whose eyelids were heavy and their expressions were sluggish, and who were snorting from time to time, reflexively pulled out their weapons on their waists, looked cautiously, leaned back against the carriage, and looked around.

The drum is not usually beaten except in an emergency.

The leading strong man hurriedly ran to the middle-aged carriage in charge of the caravan's goods, and shouted with a panicked expression: "Rich man... Rich man..."

The strong man, who roared a few times in a row, and didn't see the middle-aged man respond, directly stretched out his rough palm as thick as two fingers of an ordinary person and slapped it on the carriage.

Suddenly, the side of the entire carriage suddenly rose three inches, and when it fell heavily, not only the frightened horses screamed, but also the frightened cry of the middle-aged man in the carriage for help: "Come on... Help me... Help..."

Lin Yang frowned, slightly disdainful in his heart.

This middle-aged man in charge of the caravan seemed to be tall and majestic, but he never thought that he was actually a coward.

"Rich man, rich man, we're all here, it's okay, it's okay..."

The strong man suppressed the contempt in his heart, gently patted the horse that kept neighing and jumping up its front hooves, and whispered to the carriage.

After waiting for a long time, the strong man who thought that something had happened to the middle-aged man and was about to get on the horse and lift the curtain to check was suddenly interrupted by a thunderous roar.

"You're looking for death..."

The angry middle-aged man violently lifted the curtain of the carriage, his eyes were fierce, and he pointed at the strong man who bowed his head and took a step back, and scolded: "Your brain is in water? It's okay, what kind of dangerous drum are you beating, are you deliberately tidying up because I don't let you rest and rest in the afternoon, speak, are you deaf? or is your mouth hoarse..."

The strong man, who was also a little angry, clenched his fists and suddenly raised his head.

The middle-aged man, who was originally about to continue scolding, was about to blurt out the words when he saw the hideous and rough tendons on the strong man's face, and the cold glint in his eyes, and was about to blurt out.

Suppressing the evil fire in his heart, the strong man said word by word: "I beat the dangerous drum not because of robbers and robbers, but because the garden town was flooded by fire, although I don't know what the reason is, but in order to protect the safety of the caravan's goods and brothers, in an emergency, I can only beat the drum to show caution..."

The words fell, and without waiting for the people around to react from the strong man's shocked words, Lin Yang hugged the little white monkey, lifted the carriage curtain, jumped down, and without saying a word, he walked directly to the carriage team.

The strong man looked at the people around him, looked at the middle-aged man who looked at a loss, snorted, and followed behind Lin Yang, who was wearing a Taoist robe.

From a distance, at the end of fifty miles, there was a huge fire.

The firelight not only illuminates the outline of the round town, but also dyes the surrounding flowers and trees and the avenue leading to the garden town.

Sensing that the strong man was coming to his side, Lin Yang took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know how long this fire has been burning?"

The strong man smiled helplessly, clearly knowing that with his mortal eyes, the distance of fifty miles could not be compared with Lin Yang, who was wearing a Taoist robe and was obviously a mountain man, he could find the fire, and he also knew its location in the garden town, relying on the experience of many years of transportation merchants.

Seeing that the strong man didn't speak, Lin Yang turned around, ignoring the people who had already gathered, his eyes were shocked, and he looked at the many escorts and middle-aged people in the distance with the firelight, and suddenly said: "Everyone quickly get into the carriage and go to Yuanzhen..."
