Chapter 199: The Convoy Marches

The heavy snow has long since stopped, and few pedestrians come out in the cold weather, but there are teams of sergeants shuttling back and forth on the streets, patrolling every pass and main road, and even some country roads that are rarely visited on weekdays are also arranged with several soldiers' handles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The horses could no longer walk here, and the streets were full of sleds, gliding at high speed.

"Stop!"

Two soldiers unceremoniously stopped a carriage entering the city, and four or five soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the carriage.

"Identity plate!"

A soldier was very stiff at the man who got out of the car, and after looking at the nameplate he had received, he held it in his hand, and did not mean to return it to him immediately.

"What's in the car?" the soldier asked coldly.

That person obviously looked like a businessman, and with a thief's brain, he hurriedly pulled the sergeant in front of him, secretly pulled him aside, and whispered: "Good deeds, this should be regarded as honoring adults." ”

The sergeant shook the silver in his hand, and threw it back into his hand in the man's incredulous gaze, and said to the man angrily: "You want to kill Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu wants to live for two more years." ”

Turning his head, he shouted coldly to the other sergeants next to him, "Take it away!"

......

The Ji family mansion.

Ji Chengkong's face was full of anxiety, wandering around the room, unable to calm down, grabbing a person next to him and asking, "What, there is no news yet?"

The guard next to him also shook his head in distress, "No." ”

"How so, without a definite route, our trip will be very dangerous. Ji Chengkong walked around two more times, walked directly to the door of the mansion, looked around, grabbed the people left behind and asked, "Are you sure you didn't come?"

The man looked at the anger on the patriarch's face, and quickly shook his head, "Patriarch, I've been waiting here, not leaving an inch, and no one really comes." ”

In the lobby, there were several other elders who were also restless, their faces were full of sadness, and the great elder frowned and looked outside, "It's not too early, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"The patriarch can't wait any longer, we can't afford the consequences. Another elder said.

"We really can't afford the wrath of the Holy King's Temple, but if something happens this time, our family can't afford it either. Ji Chengkong went back and forth, and made several laps in the house, and the tea bowl he served had already been broken by him.

About another stick of incense passed, and the other elders became more and more anxious, "Patriarch, if we don't set off again, our family will definitely be finished, okay, we can only gamble." ”

A trace of sadness flashed in Ji Chengkong's eyes, and then he was replaced by firmness, and said: "Okay, then let's go, this time the Great Elder and the Third Elder will lead the team at the same time, this trip must arrive safely, our family can't afford to fail." ”

The others also nodded when they heard this, the Great Elder and the Third Elder are all intermediate masters in Hong Yuan Realm, and they are also masters in the rivers and lakes, such a lineup is something that no ordinary person dares to provoke, plus the name of the Ji family, one of the eight great families, makes people even more shy away.

Thinking of this, Ji Chengkong was a little relieved.

Ten miles away from the west gate of Huajing City, the Great Elder and the Third Elder looked at dozens of carriages and horses, and the long convoy was walking in the snow like a giant dragon, crawling slowly.

The airtight black cloth covered the carriage, and the heart-rending cries of children were heard inside, and no one paid attention to them, still driving silently in the wilderness.

"Two elders, there are two roads in front, one is more spacious and relatively open, and our entry into the city will be several days faster, and the other is relatively narrow, both of which are country roads, and the journey may be a little slow. "The spies sent out early came back to report.

The Great Elder and the Third Elder glanced at each other, and the Third Elder asked, "Which villages are we going to pass through to take the path?"

"Returning to Elder, there are five villages to pass through, namely Chen Village, Lijiazhuang, Liu Village, Lijiazhuang and Majiazhuang. The spy said respectfully.

"Who are these people, are there any masters?" the Great Elder asked.

"All of them are old and weak, women and children, and even there are very few warriors. The spy said.

The Great Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed on his face, "Take the path, you have to investigate at all times, and report here as soon as there is any movement, and report to me three miles away from the village!"

"Yes!" the spy commanded, turned and continued to investigate.

The Third Elder looked in the direction of the Great Elder, his brows furrowed, he knew what the Great Elder was thinking, "You have decided, do you have to come to this point? That's thousands of lives, will this harm the peace of the heavens, and maybe it will bring ruin to the family." ”

"The third child is not talking about you, you are too careful, and besides, I am also for the good of the family. Compared with the interests of the family, you don't know which is more important. The third child, those who become big things are not informal, and your mind is still too narrow-minded. ”

The Third Elder sighed and did not continue to refute, the Great Elder was right, nothing was more important than the interests of the family, and he also knew the importance of this trip.

The whole journey is only 500 miles, but it is these 500 miles that determine the life and death of the Ji family, and there must be no mistakes along the way.

The cold wind blew on the carriage, and the black cloth was torn and torn, and the children in the carriage could be seen from the corner of the lift.

The iron cages were very small, stacked together, like goods, and the children inside were struggling in pain, and the space that had just accommodated a child was immobile.

The carriage is about the height of a one-story room, dozens of cages are stacked together, one by one, there is no light in it, it is dark all around, it is the smell of children, and the smell of feces and urine is also mixed in it, the bumps of the carriage all the way, the cry of children all the way.

Dozens of carriages were followed by four or five guards, guarding the carriage around, eagle-like eyes looking around all the time, the long knife in his hand reflected the sun, flashing with a cold cold.

The cold wind was howling, the hunting was sounding, and the group walked quietly in the snow, and the spies in front rushed to the rear, respectfully reporting the situation in front to the Great Elder and the Third Elder.

"Tell the Great Elder, there are still three miles to reach Chen Village. The spy said.

The Great Elder nodded, looking in the direction ahead, a cold glint surging in his eyes.
