As soon as he saw the green ox cart, which was obviously not a mortal thing, especially the lifelike carving of a ferocious ape on the roof, which was about to struggle and explode, the visitor's eyes flashed, and then he walked over with a smile on his face.
"My lord, I'm sorry for the inconvenience and inconvenience I've caused you when I'm out, but I'm just taking advantage of you tonight, so please forgive me!"
Xu Luo thinks that he is not a protagonist, and he does not look like Jin Baht. There is no reason for everyone to like him, so he must be humble, and this is not his place.
He also had a smile on his face and waved directly.
"My husband, you're welcome. The place here is spacious and you can do whatever you want!"
"Don't, don't, if you don't mind, just call me Lao Sha! That would be a big inconvenience, and everyone at Ping An Company would be very grateful!"
Lao Sha raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and left to yell at the rest of the caravan.
But when Xu Luo saw his standard military etiquette, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but shrink, and he looked at his back deeply before getting into the carriage.
After a while, a black light quietly came out of the bottom of the car and patrolled around the car from time to time.
Xu Luo has never come out since he entered the carriage, or he may be reluctant to come out. Even when the cold night came and the temperature dropped sharply, he didn't even light a bonfire.
It was Lao Sha from the Ping An Caravan who even took the initiative to please someone by lighting a large bonfire in front of the cart, and from time to time he also sent people over to add more firewood.
Since nightfall, all kinds of roars and strange sounds in the nearby mountains and forests have not stopped. But those who dare to run this mountain trail are all experienced mountaineers. At least those who lead the team must not be weak, and no one pays attention to them at all.
All the caravans worked together and formed a circle with piles of bonfires on the outermost edge. As expected, the night passed without incident.
Xu Luo yawned and got out of the car. He glanced at Dahei and found that his breath was slightly firmer. It seemed that something unknown had come to the door last night.
Seeing Xu Luo show up, Dahei raised his tail high and waggled like a windmill, shaking his head and coming closer.
Even if it becomes a spirit, it still cannot change this habit.
Xu Luo stretched out his hand and stroked its head gently a few times. Dahei pushed the big head into his arms with all his strength, and from time to time he made a humming sound that only Xu Luo could hear.
After playing around with Dahei for a while, the sky gradually became brighter, and people from the Ping An caravan next to them gradually walked out of their tents.
Xu Luo waved his hand and Dahei fled back to the carriage.
Originally, at this time, Jinu had already prepared some food for Xu Luo to enjoy, but because there were too many people, it was inconvenient for her to show up.
It's not that Xu Luo is afraid, but that the identity of the slave elixir spirit is so rare that anyone with a little knowledge will cause an uproar once they recognize it.
And as the early sun rose, the blood tiger that had been suspended above the inn all night also disappeared silently.
Groups of caravans are packing their things and preparing to leave.
What surprised Xu Luo was that when each caravan left, they would spontaneously place some rice and flour supplies at the gate of the inn. Even Lao Sha, a nearby Ping An merchant, quietly placed a porcelain vase by the door.
Xu Luo thought about it and realized that this should be a conventional rule.
The inn provides a safe place for everyone, and everyone does their best to express their gratitude by donating some supplies.
At this time, a hill had been piled up outside the gate, containing everything, including rice, flour, grain and oil, medicine and wine for injuries, and even a few leather jackets.
Xu Luo also became playful for a moment, took out a black lotus seed from the carriage, stuffed it into a porcelain bottle, and mixed it into the pile of supplies.
In the next few days, this process was almost repeated, and the various stations became accustomed to these caravans.
Xu Luo, on the other hand, became more and more frightened as he walked. Almost every inn station had evil formations. The difference was only slightly different in power. No wonder in Chunzhou, the Imperial Soldiers Division was able to suppress the Exorcism Division until they could hardly breathe.
As we get closer and closer to Panshi City, there will occasionally be mountain barbarian wooden villages on both sides of the mountain road.
But the people living there are obviously Yan people. In some places, they even cut down mountains and forests to create cultivated land and vegetable gardens.
Xu Luo couldn't help but be a little confused. Didn't it say that once you passed Zhenshan City, the people of Dayan were almost invisible?
Listening to the chatter of the people in the caravan, Xu Luo slowly understood.
The so-called Panshi City in the interior of Dayan should refer to the entire Panshi Defense Line, which is a huge defense line composed of Panshi City as the core, a series of cities, and forts, and stretches nearly a hundred miles in depth.
From Xu Luo's understanding, relying on Panshi City, Dayan Shengsheng created a city belt in the Anmo Mountains.
After arriving here, all the caravans have obviously relaxed their vigilance. Some of the brave ones may not be stationed in settlements at night.
Xu Luo simply carried a large group of caravans by himself on a bicycle from a distance, so that the slaves could come out from time to time to have fun.
This little girl has a simple and solitary temperament. Even if she is alone in the carriage, she will not feel bored.
She could tinker with a black lotus for a long time and was very happy with it, but Xu Luo still hoped that she could get more exposure to the outside world.
At the last stop, Xu Luo suddenly felt something was wrong.
This inn is called Akihara Station. The difference from the previous inn is that although it is still called an inn, in the eyes of outsiders, it is almost like a small town.
Even the city gates, moats, urns, and suspension bridges are all well-equipped with various defensive buildings, and they are extremely tall and well-repaired.
Outside this inn, there is a mountain canyon named Akihabara by the Yan people.
The inn Sekijo is right at the entrance of the canyon, while Akihabara is at the bottom of a wide valley with towering cliffs on both sides, so it is safe and secure.
The canyon was originally overgrown with thorns and swamps, but since the arrival of the people of Dayan, they have overcome thorns and thorns, dug mountains and built dams, turning this narrow valley into a land of fish and rice, famous for its rock defense line.
Akihabara also became Akihabara!
Last year, at least 30% of the rice, grain, fish and meat for the entire Panshi Defense Line came from Akihabara.
Akihabara Station relies on Akihabara, so its status is naturally rising, and its position is becoming increasingly important. The people stationed here are not just a few soldiers, but a school with nearly a thousand elite cavalry stationed there.
But Xu Luo's first impression of Qiuye Station was not very good.
When he arrived at the inn's high gate, many caravans had gathered here, and all of them were complaining, making the noise loud and clear.
Xu Luo asked someone at random and asked about it before he understood.
It turns out that in the past few days, for unknown reasons, Qiuye Station suddenly closed its city gates and no longer allowed anyone in or out, not even caravans qualified to transport military supplies from Panshi City. This was something that had never happened before.
Xu Luo looked at the towering wall, thought for a while and finally decided to wait a few days.
The Exorcism Department's brand obviously doesn't work here, so don't waste the time by stealing the chicken and losing the rice.
But the wait lasted for three days, and the number of people gathering under the wall was growing like a snowball.
Xu Luo always parked the big car in an inconspicuous place and watched coldly. This matter was definitely not directed at him. Others were not anxious, and he was even less anxious.
After such a delay, the caravans that were originally lagging behind also caught up one after another, and Xu Luo even saw the banner of Ping An Company among them.
In the early morning of this day, the closed urn city was finally opened.
Two arrogant-looking soldiers walked out carelessly, pasted a notice with a ghostly symbol on the wall, and then closed the door without saying a word.
Everyone scrambled to be the first and surrounded him like flies smelling smelly meat.
But a moment later, earth-shattering roars could be heard from the crowd of spectators.
After just listening to a few words, Xu Luo understood what was going on!
Akiba Station posted a notice saying that there are strange things causing trouble in Akihabara these days, and the caravan cannot be allowed to pass through the customs for the time being. If someone needs to pass through the customs urgently, it is very simple. Just hand over 10% of the goods and ask the Imperial Defense Department to send troops to escort them!
Although Xu Luo didn't know much about Akihabara, the name almost sounded like a cocoon to his ears along the way.
When many caravans mentioned this place, their eyes shone subconsciously.
From the expectant looks in these people's eyes, Xu Luo understood that Akihabara must be a rare peaceful paradise in the dangerous Anmo Mountains, which is why everyone can't wait to look forward to it when it is mentioned.
But now, something happened here?
Either, the reputation of Qiuye Station is not worthy of its name, or, haha...
Xu Luo regarded himself as a melon-eater and watched silently.
It's not that he looks down on these caravans, no matter how noisy they are right now, no one dares to attack and close the door even if they borrow some courage from the caravans.
As for who is right or wrong, Xu Luo is new here and doesn't want to make a judgment.
But being familiar with human nature, he just thought for a moment and guessed that these caravans would compromise sooner or later. It would be better for him to take advantage of the fact that there were few people and just get through the matter.
Thinking of this, the Qingniu cart pushed through the crowd and drove to the gate. Xu Luo handed the identity jade tag and recruitment documents to the soldiers who were already wary.
"Xu Luo, the captain of the exorcism department, is here on business, please let me go!"
The soldier's face changed slightly at that sentence, and he looked at Xu Luo up and down doubtfully, especially his skinny legs, but after a moment he still took the thing over and said coldly.
"Wait!"
Xu Luo smiled indifferently and curiously looked at the majestic soldiers on the Wengcheng and the weapons with murderous intent.
Especially the huge crossbow, which was surrounded by many soldiers and guarded tightly. The arrows as thick as an arm were engraved with mysterious runes, and the four-quarter blade shone with a cold light from time to time as if there was something spiritual.
Thousand Oxen Crossbow!
Seeing this thing, even Xu Luo couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
This great killing weapon is an advanced version of the eight-oxen crossbow equipped by the inland states and counties. It is the painstaking work of many talented and skillful people and talisman masters who gathered in Dayan to refine the weapon.
According to the classics, when the crossbow is released, it will be shattered for ten miles, and the gods and ghosts will make changes!
Although Xu Luo has never seen the power of this thing with his own eyes, he also knows that these words must be a bit of a cover-up or bragging.
But this also proves from the side the huge power of this Thousand Ox Crossbow.
After a long while, the soldier walked out of the urn in a hurry. He waved to the other soldiers to let them go, and then handed the things back.
"Check in the back!"
Xu Luo was stunned, check? What the hell is this! The people from the Exorcism Department are in Dayan, who needs to be checked?
After thinking about it, he walked into the urn city along the passage that the soldiers gave way to.
As soon as he entered here, Xu Luo suddenly had the illusion of a caged bird. The four high walls were filled with soldiers with solemn faces and heads raised, staring at him indifferently.
