Chapter Forty-Three: Blow Up the Bridge!
"They're coming. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Gu Cheng's pupils contracted, looking at the black crowd in front of him, the hard chain mail, and countless spears, when they roared towards this side at the same time, Gu Cheng's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Who are they?" said one of the guards as he looked at Gu Cheng.
"No mark, not your own people!"
"Up!"
A chief of the guard with a feather armor and helmet broke out, and with the escort behind him, he roared, and then everyone clenched their weapons and stabbed towards Gu Cheng and Miao Luoxiang.
"Cattle, don't you want to save Xia Hongyuan?!" Gu Cheng's face was hideous, and he didn't panic and took out a red elixir, "This is an elixir to cure Xia Hongyuan's spiritual organs, if he misses this opportunity, his wound will never heal again!"
Healing Wounds?
For a while, all the caravan guards stared at the pill in Gu Cheng's hand, and there was an uproar.
After Gu Cheng raised the pill in his hand, the guards calmed down, and they all looked at the head of the guard, waiting for his next order.
"Go get that elixir, I'm going to check it. The chief of the guard at the head of the guard stopped, looked at the other guard and ordered.
"Yes!" After the guard answered, he immediately ran in the direction of Gu Cheng.
Soon, he ran to Gu Cheng and said, "My lord sent me to fetch the pill for examination." ”
"This elixir can heal Xia Hongyuan's injuries, without further ado. Gu Cheng did not hesitate to hand over the elixir to him.
The guard nodded, then made a detour to the captain of the guard and handed him the elixir.
"Come on, check this pill for me, if they dare to fake it, they will be killed!" shouted the chief of the guard.
As the captain of the guard shouted, a scholar-like staff member slowly squeezed out of the crowd, respectfully took the elixir, and replied, "Yes, I will definitely check it carefully." ”
After checking the time of half a pillar of incense, the staff member handed the pill back to the head of the guard, and responded: "This is indeed an elixir that can cure Xia Gongzi, and the level of this pill is quite high, if Xia Gongzi takes the pill, he will definitely be able to avoid becoming a waste." ”
The chief of the guard looked at the pill, if he offered this pill, he would definitely be able to have a good relationship with Xia Hongyuan, whether it was in the future or now, it would be good for his career. Thinking of this, he stared at Gu Cheng and shouted, "You guys come over for me." ”
"It's coming. Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Miao Luo's makeup, and then continued to push the truck towards the caravan.
After the captain of the guard noticed this truck, he vigilantly set up his bow and arrows, aimed at Gu Cheng, and shouted, "Stop! What is hidden in this car?"
"Charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur. Gu Cheng stopped, lowered his head, and hugged his fists
"Check it out!" the chief guard twisted his head and ordered the other guards.
Soon, more than a dozen guards went to carefully inspect Gu Cheng and the truck.
After half a ring, one of the guards reported: "Back to my lord, the truck is full of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur. As for them, they did not have a single weapon on them. ”
"Hmm. The head of the guard nodded, then put down the bow and arrows, then looked at Gu Cheng and questioned, "What is the purpose of you carrying these things?"
"What alchemy needs. Gu Cheng pretended to be sincere, bowed down and responded, "Just one pill can't cure Xia Gongzi's injury, he still needs follow-up pill treatment." ”
"Charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur...," the captain pondered, he didn't know the way of alchemy, but he knew that these things really couldn't threaten the caravan. Besides, there were only two of them, and they didn't even have a single weapon, how could they threaten the caravan?
Thinking of this, the chief of the guard dispelled his suspicions and ordered: "Mark them and let them go ....."
"Wait a minute, sir. The staff member's eyes narrowed, interrupted the guard chief's words, looked at Gu Cheng, and still said with some suspicion: "Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
Without waiting for Gu Cheng to speak, Miao Luoxiang had already taken out a token first, showed it to the staff, and said, "We have it." ”
The staff member scrutinized the token a few times and affirmed, "Your Excellency, she is a businessman. ”
The guard's suspicion subsided a little more, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmm." Let them pass, but if they dare to make the slightest move while passing through the caravan, they will be killed immediately. ”
"Yes. ”
Soon, the staff member personally stepped forward to put two marks on the foreheads of Gu Cheng and Miao Luo.
The mark is vermilion, round in shape, and has a feather pattern on it, like a status symbol that can be trusted.
"Xia Gongzi set off earlier than us, he has now crossed the overpass, you should go quickly. Also, it would be even better if I could remind Xia Gongzi that we allowed you to pass. The staff patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder and smiled.
"We understand, I will definitely tell Xia Gongzi. Gu Cheng's face was serious, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
"Let's go. Miao Luoxiang couldn't help but break out in a little cold sweat, urging Gu Cheng to move forward.
Gu Cheng nodded. Then Gu Cheng continued to push the truck and continued to move forward with Miao Luojiao.
Walked over to the black-pressed convoy.
The noise of those guards gradually subsided, and they calmed down, slowly clearing a way for Gu Cheng and the two of them.
Gu Cheng and Miao Luoxiang walked on this vacant road.
Under thousands of fierce gazes, although Miao Luoxiang has seen a big scene since she was a child, she is still inevitably a little panicked at this moment. After Gu Cheng noticed this detail, he slowly approached Miao Luo's makeup body, blocking most of her gaze.
She has been sick since she was a child, and she has been accompanied by many relatives and maids, and she has always grown up in a safe environment. Now when she was in danger, a man she didn't know well felt the same sense of security, but it was not like those relatives and maids, it was really subtle.
Miao Luoxiang couldn't figure out this feeling, but unconsciously crossed the caravan safely.
----------
Half an hour later.
At the moment, on the opposite hill not far away.
"Report, Lord Luo, they really crossed that caravan!" a man in black reported to Luo Yong in surprise.
"This Gu Cheng really has a plan, but it's just ....." Luo Yong said in a deep voice, "Even if they cross the caravan, what if they don't even have weapons, let alone a surprise attack, it's impossible to even destroy the bridge back!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, suddenly, several waves of vibrations were heard in the distance.
The ground shook and the mountains shook, and in an instant, I saw the bridge in the distance cracking, and in a half-breath, the dust filled the sky in an instant, and an intact bridge collapsed.
"What the hell is going on?" Luo Yong was stunned when he heard this voice, and suddenly jumped up.
"The flyover has been blown up!" a man in black observed the scene and hurriedly ran over to report.
"What?!"
"How the hell did they do that?" said someone confused.
"Anyway, now that the flyover has blown up, we'll have enough time to raise manpower and retrieve the bone fragments!" Luo Yong smiled in surprise.
"My lord, this man named Gu Cheng can be of great use!" said a man in black.
"It's a pity that he is an innate body. Luo Yong restrained his smile, turned his happiness into sorrow, let out a long sigh, and said, "The road he has to take in the future will be much more difficult than ours, but I should push him." Come on, I want to write another letter of recommendation to the people in Kongtongmen, I want his starting point to be higher than the average person!"
"Yes!"
-----------
In the meantime, back to the flyover.
The bridge had been blown up, and all the guards standing at the entrance of the bridge were just looking at the bridge stupidly, not understanding what was happening.
At this moment, Gu Cheng and Miao Luoxiang had already moved away from the bridge and ran to a safe place.
"I didn't expect that we actually managed to cross that caravan. Miao Luoxiang gasped a few times and smiled bitterly.
"Because we just did the opposite, we didn't pay attention to tactics at all, we didn't ask for manpower, we didn't bring equipment, we only carried this elixir and the seemingly non-threatening truck, so that the other side had the illusion that we would be safe. However, the other party didn't expect it, but we just did it. ”
"Then how the hell did you destroy that bridge?" Miao Luoxiang asked.
"It's the good thing that the truck did. ”
"Truck?" Miao Luo was stunned, but vaguely remembered that charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur were hidden in the truck.
"One of the four great inventions of China, gunpowder, was made of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur. Gu Cheng smiled.
