Although the Zhao family, father and daughter, have moved away, they still have properties inside and outside the city.
Under pressure, the two competitors, the Yang Family Martial Arts School and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce, actually cooperated for the first time.
However, I still seem to be confused in my mind, why are the disciples of the Yang Family Martial Arts School surrounding the caravan?
It seems to be patrolling, no, it is protecting!
Protect the caravan!
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Huang An's eyes, and he kept staring at the people in the Yang Family Martial Arts School from the corner of his eyes.
After observing for a while, Huang An found out the clues.
These disciples were vaguely surrounded, patrolling in front of and around the more than 20 carriages of the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce.
"Is the cargo in that carriage very precious? So the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce hired disciples from the Yang Family Martial Arts School to escort them all the way?"
Huang An inadvertently glanced a few more times, but he didn't see the details of the goods in those carriages.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so he couldn't see it, so he didn't care.
However, he had made up his mind not to go near the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce's convoy.
In front of Huang An were five or six men dressed as warriors, driving two horses, carrying their luggage, clothing and food.
Wearing uniform gray clothes, he must be a disciple of the same martial arts school and also went to Youzhou to join the army.
Looking at his clothes, Huang An didn't recognize him. He must be a disciple of a local martial arts school in Fen County.
The first ones are the ordinary people with families and families. It can be seen from their faces and the way they are rushing that they are cautious and ordinary people.
Huang An turned his head and looked behind him again, his eyes slightly condensed.
Behind him were two groups of people, and closely behind were martial artists from another martial arts school, each carrying a sword and riding a horse. They were probably from the same martial arts academy.
These two groups of martial arts disciples were all from Fen County.
"It's a good idea to escort the Linzhai team now. The strongest Yu Mao is in the front, and I'm asked to wait for the warriors in the back, so I can be a thug in vain."
Huang An secretly thought it was disgusting, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, behind these warriors were more than twenty escort members from Xialin Village.
Walking south along the main road, we passed two other villages during the ten-mile journey.
These two villages also relied on escorting caravan travelers for food, but unfortunately the bulk of it was taken by Xialin Village. From the outside, these two villages looked extremely shabby.
Moreover, it is said that due to poor business in these two villages, the number of escorts is small, and it usually takes several days to gather enough guests before sending them there together, which requires a delay of one or two days.
After leaving the village, the team entered the ravine. From now on, the road was difficult, so be careful.
Huang An is a lone ranger. There are warriors gathered in front and behind him, and no one talks to him.
Huang An is at ease. When he needs to dismount, he gets off his horse. When he needs help carrying goods, he can also lend a hand.
Going up mountains and downhills, crossing ditches and rivers, in just one morning, Huang An's whole body was covered in mud and fallen leaves, and his shoes were already soaked through.
The sleeves of both arms were also stained with water and covered with yellow mud. Now they are stuck to the sleeves. Pressing them east and west, they look like shit-yellow mud smeared on the wall. They are quite messy.
.
Even with his physique, he felt like he was sweating all over, and he had the urge to stop and take a rest and eat something to replenish his strength.
The mountains on both sides of the road are high and difficult to navigate, and rocks often fall to the ground. There are often more than a dozen people walking on the road, and those behind have to wait for the rocks to fall before they dare to continue on their way.
The people in the team complained endlessly, and even the warriors cursed.
The road in this era is so difficult to travel. Huang An suddenly understood the song "The Road is Difficult".
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Huang An and the others came out of the sky and stopped in the stone forest at the foot of the hill.
Huang An held the old horse and looked far into the distance. There seemed to be a shadowy hillside on the horizon, and behind the hillside was the shadow of the mountain.
That hillside must be thirty miles away from this line of sky...
Sudden.
"That's Luoyangpo!"
A sigh of relief came from behind.
Huang An had a look of understanding on his face and looked sideways. It was a middle-aged man who had only spoken two hours ago.
I don’t know the man’s real name, but others call him Lao Liu. He is a disciple of a martial arts school in Fen County. He is ranked Lao Liu and is a warrior in the late stage of the Six Fu realm.
This time he took his junior brothers from their martial arts school to Youzhou City.
The purpose is the same as Huang An, which is to join the army.
"That's Luoyangpo!"
Huang An also sighed with emotion.
Lao Liu patted Huang An on the shoulder and said suddenly:
"After walking through this mountain bend, we have overcome all the natural and earthly difficulties, but man-made disasters are hard to avoid. You should be prepared to escape at any time. After all, you are alone and it will not be easy for you if you are targeted.
"
After Lao Liu finished speaking, he suddenly nuzzled towards Huang An's old horse, and in Huang An's puzzled eyes, he persuaded:
"Feed the horse and fill your own belly. If something unexpected happens later, we can just ride over and rush over. It's better than being the soul killed by the sword."
He pointed to the six horses next to his junior brothers.
Their martial arts school should have good financial resources, but everyone has a horse.
When Huang An heard this, he realized that this was Lao Liu's good intention.
But, after the bandits appear, is it really possible to just ride away and escape?
Will the thieves set up an ambush along the way?
Huang An was doubtful, but his expression still showed gratitude. He nodded and thanked:
"Thank you Brother Six for reminding me."
"Harm, we are all warriors. When you are away from home, help if you can!"
The sixth child smiled freely, patted his butt, and walked towards the junior brothers with a swaggering wave of his hands.
When he came closer, the warriors suddenly burst into bursts of hearty laughter. From time to time they turned to look at Huang An, and some young people even grinned at him.
Huang An stared at Lao Liu's back for about three seconds. He couldn't figure out his real purpose, so he stopped caring.
However, he still listened to Lao Liu's suggestion, stood up, walked to Lao Ma's side, opened the package, and ate it.
The old horse also eats fine grains. Huang An prepared a lot of them, but he still mixed them with grass and fed them to their fullest.
No matter what, it’s always good to have a full stomach.
What Lao Liu said is right, the natural and earthly disasters have basically passed, and the remaining fifty or sixty miles are all caused by man-made disasters.

After leaving Fen County, the journey to this line of sky was extremely difficult.
The road is so narrow that even a horse-drawn carriage can barely pass through it. In some sections, the horse-drawn carriage even has to be untied, dismantled, and turned around before it can pass.
Not to mention the cliffs and streams on both sides of the road. It is difficult to stand people, so why hide people and horses?
The only place where these thieves would take action is the thirty miles between Xiantian and Luoyangpo, and then counting the forty miles to Youzhou City, a total of seventy miles.
This is the difficult path of man-made disasters.
From here on, the originally difficult road suddenly became much more normal. Of course, it was just relatively easy to walk.
Most of them are dirt roads with pits and depressions.
However, some sections of road can already accommodate two carriages traveling in parallel.
On both sides of the road, there are also low ridges, bushes, small woods and other places where people can hide.
The guards at Xialin Village urged everyone to eat and drink quickly and continue on their way after twenty minutes.
Huang An stuffed pancakes into his mouth and fed the old horse, listening to Yu Mao's loud shouts in his ears.
"Listen up, everyone, there are bandits on the road ahead. Those thieves are not moral. Killing people and robbing goods are common.
It’s just that I, the three brothers from Xialin Village, can be considered a bit weak on this road. If we are unfortunate enough to encounter bandits, we will definitely survive by following my orders, Yu Mao.”
"If someone disobeys my orders, runs away in panic, and is stabbed in the head by the bandit, then don't blame me, the cashier from Xialin Village, for not doing the job!"
The martial arts master in the Bronze Skin Realm was truly amazing. Even if the team stretched for three hundred meters, his shouts in the middle of the team could still be heard clearly in Huang An's ears.
"We listen to Boss Yu!"
"That's right, we came here just for the reputation of Xialin Village."
"As long as no one is killed, I will listen to Boss Yu in everything!"
...
There were many echoes, and everyone seemed to be used to such scenes. Huang An glanced at the many martial artists in the two martial arts schools in front and behind, and found that there was nothing unusual about them. They also echoed, and he felt much more at ease.
"That's good, as long as no one is killed, we will listen to Boss Yu!"
Huang An also shouted obediently, and the people from Xialin village who were staring at him also smiled at him, indicating that they had seen Huang An's statement.
Huang An also came here because of the reputation of Xialin Village.
Last night, I inquired with the waiter in the store this morning, and with the vendors in the morning. Now Lin Zhai does have some knowledge.
Over the years, there have been basically no casualties, and at most some property losses, so the reputation is pretty good.
But suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to pass through his mind. Huang An turned his head and saw that Lao Liu was smiling silently at him with a big mouth.
Huang An's face turned cold, he stared at Lao Liu and stopped looking.
This guy was just trying to trick people!
What he told himself was that if something unexpected happened, he should escape on horseback as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that this man lies a lot.
There were many people in Lao Liu's group, so Huang An didn't dare to argue or say harsh words. He turned around and picked up the water bottle and started drinking.
This kind of villain is really disgusting. If he really listened to these words today and ran away foolishly when encountering a thief, he might not be able to survive.
Making fun of other people's lives, laughing at yourself, and harming others is really bad and stupid!
Huang An felt unhappy and sat on a stone nearby, taking off his shoes and shaking off the stones and dirt from his shoes.
After the rectification was completed, Yu Mao swung his hammer and walked around the team twice with his escort team. After completing the inspection, he gave a shout and the team slowly set off again.
However, the speed has gradually accelerated a lot, and it is now around 4:30 in the evening.
If we wait another two hours, it might get dark.
They had to get to Luoyangpo within an hour and a half and set up camp.
In addition, the atmosphere in the team also became solidified, and the laughter disappeared.
Huang An was riding on horseback, his eyes always paying attention to the woods on both sides, occasionally glancing behind him to prevent Lao Liu from harming him.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the road in front of us became wider and wider. There were already warriors on horseback, slowly catching up to the middle of the group from behind.
The guards at Xialin Village are not surprised at all.
Huang An felt moved, tightened the reins, and tapped the old horse's belly with his heel.
Lao Ma understood, his steps suddenly became much faster, and he led Huang An towards the front of the team.
When the second caravan arrived, Huang An controlled the horses and walked side by side with the last carriage of the caravan.
This is the safest position for the entire team, except where Yu Mao is at the front.
As for the Yang Family Martial Arts School and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce, the disciples and the caravan guards had stern eyes and were always staring at the people around them. Even the members of the Linzhai Guard Team came over and watched them cautiously.
Huang An didn't want to ask for trouble.
He'll just stay here.
When the caravan manager saw Huang An riding a horse and riding beside him, he prepared to say something with a straight face and took the opportunity to rush Huang An away.
After all, this person's origin is unknown, so it's best not to let him get close.
But he suddenly caught a glimpse of the red-tasseled spear protruding from the outside of the horse, and stared at Huang An's profile with his dim eyes. When he saw Huang An's facial features clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
It's a warrior, it should be the lone warrior from Feng'an County that Sixth Brother said!
Anyone who dares to come to Youzhou alone must be a master with special skills!
That’ll be easy!
He immediately whispered a few words into the ears of the men on the side, then straightened his clothes, adjusted the smile on his face, and ran over in small steps.
