"Let's go over there."
Bai Qi looked up and observed. There was a natural canyon in front of him. Along this canyon, he should be able to overcome the obstacles of the mountains.
Of course, he can also fly there directly.
It's just that this is a last resort approach, otherwise the fun of traveling around the world will be lost.
It looked close, but was actually far away. Two hours later, Bai Qi led the horse to the mouth of the canyon.
The terrain here is extremely steep, and the canyon is so narrow that it can only accommodate two horses passing side by side. The canyon is very dark and very humid, and both the mountain walls and the road underfoot are wet.
This is the true saying that "one man is in charge, and ten thousand men cannot open it".
Bai Qi led the horse and walked into the canyon leisurely.
You can only see a sliver of sky when you look up. If a stone falls from above, it may be difficult to avoid it.
"It's strange that there are no people at such an important pass."
Bai Qi didn't want to talk to anyone, he was just curious.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it. After half an hour, he noticed the human aura.
Not long after, a caravan came towards us.
This road can only be passed by animals carrying goods, and it is impossible for horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts to pass.
A man walked towards me. When they met, he glanced at Bai Qi and lowered his eyes, with no intention of communicating.
The second person and the third person are still the same. There are about ten people in this group, and all of them look like they are in the store with a frown, and they act like they should not be approached by strangers.
Bai Qi had no choice but to keep silent and pass by these people.
When he reached the exit of the canyon, he realized why those people looked like that before.
As soon as he came out, several people surrounded him, and then someone pulled his horse and walked aside.
"This place is seriously infested with bandits. For the sake of everyone's safety, our brothers are stationed here. We don't want you to repay us. Everyone who passes by here must leave a piece of goods, otherwise please go back."
When Bai Qi heard these words, he looked at the six burly men guarding the exit and felt a little confused.
Have you been robbed?
It doesn't seem right. They charge tolls. It's okay if you don't pay them. They go back to where they came from and they won't rob them.
They are all talents.
"I don't have much, just a few changes of clothes and this skinny horse. Everyone, how about a convenience?"
Bai Qi did not take action, but smiled and took off the baggage on his back, showing that he was really poor.
He wanted to see how this group of people would react next.
"It's impossible to let you pass without leaving something behind. Otherwise, what will others think? Well, you have a good horse. If you leave the horse, you can go."
The people surrounding him looked at a young junior, who seemed to be their leader.
The young man thought for a moment and stared at the horse held by Bai Qi.
The horse seemed to understand something. It snorted several times and turned its head to the other side, not wanting to look at them. The horse found these people very annoying. If it wasn't worried about being punished, it would really want to kick the young man.
.
"This horse has accompanied me through thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is no way I can give it to you."
Bai Qi was still not annoyed, but firmly rejected the other party's request.
However, the more he looked at the young man, the more familiar he felt, but he must have never seen this person before. After thinking for a while, he thought of Qiao Musen. This boy looked very similar to Qiao Musen. It would be weird if he wasn't Qiao Musen's son.
What?
Qiao Musen said that his only son followed the caravan to a distant place, but he did not expect to meet him here.
Those people looked at Bai Qi's horse, and there was a different look in their eyes.
Bai Qi knew full well that this group of people blocked the road and forced to collect tolls. How noble could they be expected to be? They had not robbed before, maybe because they were unwilling to have fierce conflicts with others.
The same is true for caravans. Their purpose is to seek wealth and spend a small amount of money to ensure safety, but they don't want to risk their lives.
But Bai Qi only had one person and one horse, and he was not seen carrying weapons, so there was no need to worry about provoking resistance from the opponent. Immediately, two people raised their swords and planned to snatch the opponent's horse.
When the young man saw this, he quickly said: "Since you don't want to lose money, then turn back quickly. Don't say I didn't remind you. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Bai Qi was a little surprised. The young man was convinced by his accomplices, so he must have some real skills. He didn't expect that the other party still had some kind thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know why he started a "business without capital".
"Good thief, give back what you took away."
Bai Qi said nothing and was just considering whether to take action when he saw a group of people running not far away.
These people held weapons in their hands and ran like flying. The sound came before the people arrived. It seemed that they were here to seek revenge.
Bai Qi smiled slightly and took the horse back a few steps.
The group of people blocking the road knew that someone had lost money and were unwilling to give in. They found helpers to take revenge. They were not hesitant and immediately faced them with swords raised, leaving Bai Qiluo at ease.
The two gangs fought to death, but Bai Qi became a bystander.
In a short time, both sides suffered casualties. The young man who looked very much like Qiao Musen's son was stabbed in the back, and there were two large wounds on his legs and arms, and blood flowed out uncontrollably.
After all, the number of people who came to seek revenge was larger, and they finally won.
"Tell me, where is the property you robbed? If you tell me, your lives will be spared. If you don't tell me, you will be executed immediately."
The person who came here was not only seeking revenge, but also set his sights on the property that the blocker had grabbed.
Including the younger generation, there are still two of them left, and the rest of their accomplices are dead. They are very stubborn. No matter how intimidated the people seeking revenge are, they will grit their teeth and not speak.
"You, come here!"
These people seeking revenge ignored Bai Qi just now, but they did not allow him to leave.
At this moment, someone waved to Bai Qi to come over and wanted to ask him if he knew anything.
"I know, I know, they hid the stolen property in the cave over there. I told you the news, can you go?"
Before Bai Qi walked out of the mouth of the canyon, he heard the conversation between the young people and knew that they had put the things they had stolen over there.
After walking out of the canyon, he determined the location of the cave with a moment of sensing.
"Don't worry! Let's go take a look first. If what you say is true, we will let you go immediately."
There were still seven people who came to seek revenge. They exchanged glances and took Bai Qi and the two prisoners straight to the cliff.
When we arrived at the place, we saw that there was really a cave under the cliff.
Two people went in to check, and after a while they ran out with smiles on their faces, saying they had found stolen goods.
"Okay, these people are useless, let's kill them."
These people who came to seek revenge were not kind people. After receiving the property, they became murderous.
"Did you hear that? They are going to kill us."
Those people raised their weapons and slashed at Bai Qi and the two prisoners respectively.
One of the prisoners immediately became a ghost under the sword, but Bai Qi and the young man seemed to have an invisible barrier around them. No matter what weapon was struck, it would bounce away.
