Chapter two hundred and fiftieth worship and caravan leader
There are some woodlands outside the Tiice Military Camp area in Luoshui City.
One of the woodlands was originally the private land of a wealthy family. No one went to graze cattle, and no sergeants would lead their horses there to graze. Therefore, this woodland seemed very quiet, and most importantly, it was very clean.
There must be horses around the military camp. Even the most well-trained war horses still cannot change the habit of leaving horse droppings when walking.
Horse manure appears everywhere in the field of vision, which is unbearable for some people with mysophobia.
There is a pond in this woodland. Although no one takes care of it and is overgrown with weeds, the natural and wild growth gives it a unique charm.
A carriage stopped by the pond.
The mysophobic man in this carriage looked to be in his fifties, with some gray hair, but the skin on his face was as beautiful as jade, with no wrinkles visible.
He is the worshiper mentioned by Qi Zhuji.
In fact, even Qi Zhuji only respectfully called him Mr. Chen Da. She only knew that he should have entered the spiritual realm many years ago, but she didn't know anything else.
Many powerful practitioners have special reasons for hiding in the world. They don't want to mention some of the past, so no one will deliberately pursue it.
Since Qi Zhuji can remember, this worshiper has been in the Qi family.
At that time, the Qi family was a royal family just like the Xiao family now.
Being able to become a tribute to the royal family is not an easy thing in itself.
In the eyes of Mr. Chen Da at this time, Qi Zhuji could only be regarded as a child.
He knew very well that in addition to ensuring Qi Zhuji's safety, the more important thing for him to follow Qi Zhuji was to prevent Qi Zhuji from doing impulsive and wrong things with Lin Wangbei's son.
Today, he felt that something big was about to happen.
Because he felt that the spiritual practitioner in the military camp had left.
His knowledge of the frontier general named Wei Guanxing was limited to the stories of drowning three thousand horse thieves, but purely from a practitioner's perspective, this frontier general was definitely a terrifying existence.
This frontier soldier clearly had an astonishing amount of real energy accumulated in his body. When he came to this military camp and sensed Wei Guanxing's existence for the first time, he felt that Wei Guanxing must have rarely fought against others in these years.
The true energy in his body was as abundant as the water in a pond that was about to overflow.
It is difficult for normal practitioners to not show any aura at all times. Most practitioners in the realm of spiritual thoughts can actually control their aura as long as they have the appropriate method, but the difficulty is that it is like this all the time.
This can only mean that this frontier general has patience and perseverance that ordinary people cannot match.
Many powerful means of fighting enemies often require such patience and perseverance to be mastered.
He was very curious about the true strength of this cultivator in the same realm, and also curious about what he was practicing at ordinary times, so when he stayed outside the military camp, he would use some of his own unique methods as if he were dealing with real enemies.
Get to know this elusive frontier general.
It's just that in the past hour, he couldn't sense any aura from Wei Guanxing.
So he determined that Wei Guanxing had left the military camp.
He was indeed a bit of a germaphobe, and he didn't even want to take another look at the horse dung of different colors on the road, so the breeze in the forest suddenly rose, and with a harsh sound breaking through the air, his body turned into a line that was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
Light and shadow swept into the interior of the military camp.
Lin Yi and others had previously paid careful attention to the existence of this enshrined person, and the area around this forest had been classified as a forbidden area by the Tiece Army. However, someone suddenly entered and exited the camp at such a speed that all the Tiece Army sergeants in the camp reacted.
At that time, many people's eyes already had a meaning that was totally absent at ordinary times.
The Tiece Army does often fight with practitioners, and the large number of casualties also allows the living sergeants like the Tiece Army to have more means and experience in dealing with the practitioners. However, the Tiece Army is not the most elite army of the border army after all. They usually encounter
The size of the army will not be too large, and the battles between hundreds or thousands of people will not be like the army in Meishan, where the number of practitioners is astonishing.
Most of the enemy cultivators they encountered before were from the Ruyi Realm. When such a spiritual realm cultivator came in front of them, just showing such speed made them understand what they encountered on the battlefield.
Such practitioners may not be able to defeat them no matter what methods they use.
The war and military information on the northern border have been reported here one after another. All these Tiece Army sergeants know very well that it is only a matter of time before they go to the northern border. And because of Lin Yi's special characteristics, the level of opponents they will face may not be the same.
The level of opponents is much higher than that of the opponents encountered before.
Mr. Chen Da was not interested in paying attention to the thoughts of these ordinary soldiers. His eyes fell on a section of the city wall opposite.
He saw Qi Zhuji's figure.
In the next moment, his figure turned into light again and reached Qi Zhuji's side.
Qi Zhuji took it for granted and nodded to him as a courtesy.
"You are still here and they are all gone?" Mr. Chen Da looked at him and frowned slightly.
Qi Zhuji smiled slightly and nodded.
Mr. Chen Da asked: "Where did they go?"
Qi Zhuji glanced at him and said, "I don't know that either."
In Mr. Chen Da's opinion, this is of course a very clumsy lie, or a white lie that is not concealed.
But for him, there are some things that Qi Zhuji can control on his own and he does not participate in them. If anything happens in the future, he only needs to say that he does not know about these things, and that is enough.
So he said no more.
"The person you are talking about is a private salt dealer, who is also a half-horse thief?"
A small boat was going up the Luoshui River at a speed like an arrow. Lin Yi, Xiao Suxin, Rong Yi were sitting in the boat, and Wei Guanxing was standing on the bow of the boat steering the boat. Listening to Lin Yi's words,
Wei Guanxing nodded and said: "What the caravan does is licking blood from the knife's edge. It's normal to take advantage of each other."
"Then why is this person not considered a repeat offender of the imperial court? Even King Nanhuang specially sent people to arrest him?" Xiao Suxin was usually very ladylike and rarely spoke, but after hearing these conversations, she couldn't help but frown.
It is true that she admires Wei Guanxing, but the contact time is still short, and she is also worried that Wei Guanxing will take advantage of Lin Yi.
"If you don't convict him, he won't be considered a repeat offender." Wei Guanxing laughed dumbly, "King Nanhuang wanted to take this person for his own use, and he didn't want to convict him at all."
"What did King Nanhuang want to do with him? Why didn't he want to help King Nanhuang?" Lin Yi looked at Wei Guanxing and asked.
His previous focus was not on whether he was a repeat offender of robbing the imperial court, but on the identity of this person. When he heard that the other party was the leader of private salt dealers, he was greatly moved. He had always wanted to get the former Daju.
For Luo's cultivation rations, he also specifically asked some people for help, but to this day, there has been no response.
Although this person is just a private salt dealer in the northwest border of the Southern Dynasties, these caravans often travel very far. According to his knowledge, some caravans even set out from some tea-producing and silk-producing counties in the central part of the Southern Dynasties, but their footprints are
Crossing Tuyuhun, the northernmost part of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The more inaccessible and untradable an area is, the more it can often bring them some special transactions and extraordinary profits.
