Chapter 439 Warm reminder, 100 meters ahead of the road to rob, please slow down
Seeing her, the caravan guys and guards nearby were all stunned. Bai Tong said to Ye Chen with pity on his face:
"Brother, you should be the one driving the car. How can this young lady do such a rough job?"
Ye Chen pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying:
"Well, she is indeed not suitable for public appearances, and the border troops will be suspicious if they see her."
After Hong Yu was asked to return to the carriage, Ye Chen sat on it again without hesitation and pulled the reins to let the horse follow the car in front.
The caravan quickly approached the checkpoint, slowed down slowly, and finally stopped in front of the checkpoint. Bai Tong got out of the car and walked towards an officer while holding his hands in his hands. It seemed that the two knew each other.
Ye Chen pretended to be leaning on the carriage, but his eyes were paying attention to the surroundings, his ears were open as wide as possible, listening carefully to what Bai Tong and the officer said, and reacting immediately if something went wrong.
Fortunately, Bai Tong kept his word and did not say anything about him. He just chatted with the officer and secretly placed a large ingot of silver in the officer's hand. The officer weighed the weight of the silver in his hand and showed satisfaction.
smile.
Everything fell into place after that. The checkpoint soldiers just walked around the caravan and asked a few random questions. When asked about Ye Chen, he only said that there were female relatives inside, and the soldiers turned to the next car without even looking.
Soon after the checkpoint was cleared, Bai Tong smiled and said goodbye to the officer, saying that he would treat him to dinner next time and other polite words, and the convoy slowly started to leave the checkpoint.
It seemed very easy, but it would not be so easy for Ye Chen and the others to come over. Even if they stuffed one hundred taels and one thousand taels of silver, they would not be so easy to talk to. They might be arrested directly if they see the money.
It's different when it comes to caravans like Bai Tong. They often pass the customs and are familiar with the officers in Guanzhong. Everything has already been taken care of. As long as they give some benefits to the officers on duty, they can pass the customs without any inspection at all.
The caravan slowly drove away from the checkpoint. Ye Chen leaned against the carriage door and breathed a sigh of relief. He left Ningguo and didn't have to be afraid even if the demon-killing sword covered the sky with his hand.
The Zhao State is different from the Ning State. Not only is the Zhao State the most powerful country on this continent, but also the Xian Lai Port that connects Zhongzhou. Even if the Demon Slayer Sword activates the divine treasure and becomes a magical person, he would not dare to come and mess around in the Zhao State.
The caravan passed through the border area between the two countries, which was about ten kilometers away, and came to the border of Zhao State. The inspection was easier here. Bai Tong just said hello and passed directly without getting out of the car.
In the checkpoint, Ye Chen spent more than ten taels of silver to get a pass for Zhao State. With this, he could go anywhere in Zhao State.
After crossing the checkpoint, Ye Chen clearly noticed that Zhao State was more prosperous than Ning State. There was a lively county town two or three miles away from the border pass, with wider official roads and more pedestrians on the road.
After leaving the border, it was a long journey. He had to abide by the agreement and send Bai Tong's caravan to Tongyi City first, and then transfer to Xianlai Port from there.
Fortunately, now we don't have to travel day and night, and we don't have to worry about chasing soldiers. We can just take it slow and just relax while traveling.
On this day, the caravan left Qingchuan Prefecture and entered Ningtai Prefecture. Ye Chen was sitting on the carriage and leaning on the carriage door. He reached behind the door curtain and held Wan'er's little hand leaning on the door while whispering. Suddenly, there was a "click" in front of him.
' There was a sound. A big tree fell down and hit the road. Dust flew up and blocked the road. Behind the tree, a group of bandits stared at the convoy. The leader, a big man with a sinister face, held a big knife and stepped on the fallen tree.
Shout:
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to avoid this, leave the money to buy the road!"
What a classic saying, much truer than modern times.
Modern roadblocking has become too civilized and has long lost the essence of ancient robbery. Before you reach the intersection, a gentle lady’s voice will remind you: There is a toll station 100 meters ahead, please slow down!
Look, highway robbery is so civilized, and thousands of years of tradition have long been lost.
Okay, this is just a little tease.
Bai Tong frowned slightly and glanced at the leader of the guard. The other party nodded and glanced at Ye Chen again. He squeezed his fingers together and made a "click" sound. His arm muscles thicker than ordinary people's thighs tightened his clothes.
Tight, powerful and secure.
Seeing this, Bai Tong knew what was going on. He walked to the caravan and cupped his hands in front of the caravan, smiling:
"I don't know which hero is ahead of me. The big shopkeeper of Bai's Medicine Store in Xia Tongyi City had a drink with the head of Jiguanling Jinji Village half a year ago, and he has already given me a big gift. Have you got the wrong person?"
The leading man laughed loudly, slashed the tree trunk with his knife, and said:
"That was the former boss. He was hacked to death some time ago. We agreed before that everything would not count. Today I want to get over it and pay another portion of the money to pay for the road."
Bai Tong frowned, thought for a moment, raised his head and asked:
"I wonder how much the strong man wants?"
The big man stretched out his palm and gestured with his five fingers.
Bai Tong asked doubtfully:
"Five hundred taels?"
The big man shouted angrily:
"You send the beggar, five thousand taels of silver, or else leave the convoy and get out."
Bai Tong put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes slightly as he said:
"Your Excellency, you are going too far. My entire caravan is not even enough for five thousand."
As he spoke, the hand behind his back was slashed with a knife. Ye Chen and the caravan guards behind saw it and began to move knowingly. Ye Chen also whispered to the carriage:
"A fight is about to begin. Ruby and Ziyu, you guys protect my wife. Sapphire and Lanyu stay in the carriage and don't come out."
After speaking, he stretched his hand into the carriage. A small hand held a sword hilt and placed it in his palm. He subconsciously held the little hand and squeezed it gently. A soft scream came from the carriage. It was very clear and did not sound like Wan'er.
The highwayman leader snorted coldly:
"It seems you don't want to give it, so don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Tong retreated under the protection of the two guards and said loudly:
"Your Excellency, don't be too greedy, be careful if you take the flower of life away from you."
"Then this leader will take your life first. Come here, little ones. No one will be left alive."
Immediately hundreds of shouts of death rang out, and hundreds of robbers rushed up with swords raised.
The caravan guards drew their swords and lined up to guard the caravan to meet the robbers.
Ye Chen pulled out his long sword from the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. He was two heads taller than the tallest person present, and his body like a giant bear was full of shocking power. The group of bandits were stunned for a moment, and the leader couldn't help but swallow.
He slurped his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Shoot him!"
The robber shot a dozen arrows crookedly from behind, but only three or four hit Ye Chen's chest and bounced out.
Patting his chest that didn't even have a white seal, Ye Chen took a big step forward, rushed past the caravan guards in a few steps, raised his sword and swung it, hundreds of tons of force squeezed the air, and slashed out a two-foot-long half-moon sword.
The breath swept away.
The bandit leader only had time to move his sword in front of him, and the sword energy passed by with a bang. The big man's face froze, and a second later a curtain of blood spurted out around his body, from his chest to the upper half of his body.
Slowly sliding down, it was cut in two.
The sword energy was as fast as lightning and slashed more than ten meters away. The bandits fell to the side like cutting straw, and a large number of heads flew up. It was as spectacular as it could be.
