His knife not only frightened Ye Chen, but also frightened the bandits who were fleeing in front. More than ten people did not have the courage to fight back and just rushed their horses to escape. Just when they were about to approach him, one of the bandits glanced at him.
He shouted with joy on his face:
"Master Niu, run away!"
Ye Chen was immediately stunned!
He was really confused. He didn't expect that the bandits who escaped actually knew him. But the problem was that he didn't know these people. Even if he searched his previous memories, he didn't have any impression. In this way, there was a high probability that they were
He shouted this deliberately to attract the attention of the pursuers.
Fortunately, the leader of the pursuers behind him, that is, the general who slashed a sword more than ten meters away, glanced at him and Qiaoyu, and did not think that they were in the same group. He did not attack him, but raised his hand and said
A knife cut the other man and his horse into two halves.
To be honest, he was startled when he saw the leader swinging his sword, and almost fought back, but luckily he endured it for a while.
Seeing a group of people chasing each other and running away, Ye Chen couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and pulled Qiaoyu who was huddled behind him like a little daughter-in-law and left quickly.
Fortunately, Qiaoyu is here, otherwise with his height and appearance, he would probably be regarded as a bandit. Although the beard on his face has already been shaved by Qiaoyu, his appearance is not that good, and he looks fierce.
It means that he is not a good person at first glance. It is estimated that no one would dare to talk to him when walking on the street.
Continuing westward along the official road, after walking not far, as soon as we rounded a mountain surrounded by the official road, we saw a checkpoint on the official road in front of us. Hundreds of Chu troops were guarding there. Everyone who passed by wanted to
Inquiry.
But that's not the point. The point is that there is a huge military camp on a hill not far from the official road, stretching for several kilometers. Judging from Ye Chen's experience of marching in the World of the Divine Eagle, there are at least 10,000 soldiers in this camp.
.Obviously, this is an important fulcrum for the Chu army to encircle Lianhua Mountain. From here to Lianhua Mountain, the closest one is Heifeng Village.
The dozen bandits who escaped just now must be from Heifeng Village, so they recognized Ye Chen, the Niu Master, but he didn't recognize them.
After a little hesitation, he decided to pass the checkpoint here. Tens of thousands of Chu troops had already surrounded Lianhua Mountain. He could still get through by walking on the official road. If he was caught smuggling from the wild, he would be shot to death by bandits.
, if you encounter an expert passing by, you will definitely die.
After whispering to Qiaoyu, he strode towards the checkpoint with her.
Not many pedestrians passed by at the checkpoint. When they came over, the last pedestrian had already passed. When the two of them stepped forward, a soldier with a sword on his waist came up and asked:
"Where are you from? Where are you going? Is there a way to guide you?"
Ye Chen cupped his hands and said:
"My name is Tieniu, a person from Guanzhong. I was traveling with a caravan to Qiantang. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by bandits on the road. I was the only one who escaped with my life. Now I am planning to return to Guanzhong."
The soldier looked him up and down, then turned to look at Qiaoyu on the other side, his eyes lit up, he pointed at her and asked:
"You said you were the only one who escaped with your life, then who is she?"
Ye Chen replied:
"On the way, we encountered bandits and robbed her. She was the only one who survived. After being rescued, she followed me alone."
"I didn't ask you!"
The soldier stared at Qiaoyu, looked up and down, pointed at her and asked:
"Tell me, is what he said true?"
Qiaoyu pinched her little hands together, raised her head with a pitiful look, and said timidly:
"What Brother Tieniu said is true."
The soldier looked disappointed and seemed a little unwilling. He hesitated for a long time before waving his hand:
"let's go!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a soldier shouted excitedly:
"Colonel Zhang is back, lift the fence quickly!"
The soldiers who stopped them immediately ignored them and went with the others to lift the wooden fence blocking the road.
But Ye Chen didn't dare to turn around, and silently pulled Qiaoyu to the roadside to pass the pass.
Soon the sound of horse hooves stopped behind him, and then there was a sound of flattery. A group of people gathered around the black-armored general and walked down the official road towards the camp. After taking a few steps, the black-armored general suddenly slowed down and turned his head in confusion.
He glanced at Ye Chen, suddenly pointed at him and ordered to his subordinates:
"Call him over. I have something to ask him."
Immediately, someone drove a horse forward to Ye Chen and stopped him. They pointed their riding whip at him and said:
"Colonel Zhang has something to ask you, please come with me."
Ye Chen had no choice but to follow him and turn around, and came to the black-armored general named Zhang Lieutenant, and looked up at him.
Just looking at it, his expression became weirder and weirder, and a smile appeared on Captain Zhang's face. After a while, he tentatively stretched out his index finger and middle finger and separated them, making an international gesture that only the descendants would understand.
gesture, and Captain Zhang also gestured like a bus driver.
Only then did Ye Chen feel relieved. The two laughed loudly, making the soldiers around them confused.
Next, he didn't want to leave. Zhang Xiaowei Ping withdrew his men, and asked Qiaoyu to wait beside him. The two of them came to a deserted place.
Sitting down on the stone, Zhang Xiaowei first said:
"How long have you been here?"
Ye Chen sat next to him, thought for a moment, and said:
"It's been almost a year, and I've been hanging out in the bandits' den. If the village leader hadn't committed suicide this time, he might have stayed there for another year or two before leaving the mountain."
He didn't dare to say that he had only been here for half a month. His internal strength could not be cultivated in half a month. Using source power crystals to enhance his internal strength would clearly show that his internal strength was obviously acquired through cultivation.
, but even the most evil genius cannot cultivate such strong internal power in half a month.
In the Tower of Eternity, although there are thousands of identities that descend, there are a few basic rules.
First, it cannot come to masters, that is to say, it cannot come to those martial arts masters who have just died. Generally speaking, most of them come to ordinary people. If they are lucky, they will have some martial arts, but they will never be masters.
The second is that it cannot happen to people who are lucky. To put it simply, it cannot happen to those important people. For example, in this world, no one can happen to people like Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, etc.
Under such circumstances, it is completely unexplainable for him to possess three hundred years of skill for half a month, and he does not want to cause trouble for himself.
Captain Zhang did not doubt him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"This is a good thing. There is no future in staying in the bandits' den all day long. It is your luck that you happened to meet me this time. Are you interested in coming to my place? I will give you a team leader and rule fifty people."
this...
Ye Chen hesitated.
Upon seeing this, Captain Zhang said:
"What, you don't like this team? Don't worry, I think your cultivation is not weak, and you are more than ready to be a flag general. It's just that you just came here and I can't arrange for you to be a flag general. I'll wait for a while.
If you make any merit, I will immediately promote you to be the flag general, commanding 500 people."
