Li Kuang rode Juechen and left Xiaoshan Town directly.
At this time, King Yun was leading the Black Tiger Army to personally conquer Xuanzhou, and faced off with Xuan Zhenhai, the younger brother of Xuanzhou King, at the Moshui River.
The two armies are separated by a Moshui River. Although King Yun's Black Tiger Army is brave and good at fighting, they cannot attack the other side. However, the Xuanzhou Xuanjia Army in Moshui City only defends but does not attack, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
who.
As a result, the area at the junction of Yunzhou and Xuanzhou became turbulent, and some rogue bandits took the opportunity to do evil, burning, killing, and looting.
Xishan City is heavily guarded, so the bandits naturally dare not attack Xishan City, but away from Xishan City, at the junction of Yunzhou and Xuanzhou, there is Black Dragon Mountain.
Heilong Mountain is high in the mountains and densely forested, and wild animals are rampant. There is a group of bandits who come down from the mountain to plunder from time to time.
In the Black Dragon Mountains, there is a canyon that is dozens of miles long. People from Yunzhou and Xuanzhou use this canyon to travel between the two states. However, because bandits are rampant, no one dares to walk through this canyon easily.
This Black Dragon Gorge is a shortcut to Xuanzhou. If you don't take the Black Dragon Gorge, you will have to spend a few more days climbing over the mountains, and there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, so there are many dangers.
Li Kuang was in a hurry, so he naturally took a shortcut.
There is a mountain town about ten miles away from the Black Dragon Gorge. Some people who want to go to Xuanzhou will stay here and then organize a group to cross the Black Dragon Gorge.
No one dares to walk alone in the Black Dragon Gorge. Even warriors in the realm of marrow purification do not dare to walk alone in the Black Dragon Gorge.
Before Li Kuang came to the mountain town, he let go of the wildebeest. He didn't want to attract anyone's attention. He also took out an inconspicuous black iron knife from the storage ring and put it on his back, pretending to be a young man.
Swordsman.
When he walked into the mountain town, almost no one would notice him.
There is also a black market stronghold in the mountain town, and there are many announcements and mission information posted on it. Li Kuang came to this black market stronghold and saw that the reward for hunting down the Li clan members had disappeared.
The Taixu Immortal Sect came forward to protect the Li clan in Yunwucheng, who would dare to target the Li clan?
Although the black market is great and has influence throughout the Shenwu Continent, the Taixu Immortal Sect is not a vegetarian, and it is not the people of the black market who want to hunt down the Li clan members.
"Um?"
At this time, Li Kuang suddenly discovered a notice on one side. The Xishan caravan was recruiting warriors. The notice stated the location where the warriors were to be recruited.
Li Kuang thought for a while, then left the black market stronghold and found the place where the Xishan caravan was recruiting warriors according to the address on the announcement.
"Inn?"
Li Kuang looked up and couldn't help frowning. He walked directly in without hesitation.
But at this moment, two guards standing outside the inn door stopped him.
"Friend, I'm sorry, this inn has been booked by our Xishan caravan, you'd better find another place to stay!"
A middle-aged guard with a scar on his face said to Li Kuang.
"Isn't your Xishan Caravan recruiting people?"
Li Kuang glanced at the two guards.
"Sorry, we have hired enough people."
It was the middle-aged guard with the scar on his face who spoke out.
"Really? Since we have recruited enough people, why hasn't the announcement on the black market been revoked?" Li Kuang was very unhappy. Isn't this just playing tricks on people?
"This... we are about to cancel it."
The middle-aged guard said.
Li Kuang raised his eyebrows and said: "Since it has not been revoked, it means that it is still valid, so you have no reason to refuse my joining."
"this……"
The two guards were in a dilemma.
"Just let him join!"
At this time, a clear and melodious young woman's voice came from the inn.
"Yes, miss!"
The two guards standing in front of Li Kuang quickly retreated.
Li Kuang strode into the inn and saw a lot of people gathered in the lobby of the inn. Each of these people were warriors with weapons on their bodies.
But a group of uniformly dressed guards gathered around a woman wearing a hat, with gauze hanging down from the hat, covering the woman's face.
Other warriors were scattered around the inn lobby.
Seeing Li Kuang walk in, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Fifth level of bone forging?"
When everyone saw Li Kuang's cultivation level, many people showed disdain.
"Little guy, you better get out, I have no obligation to protect you across the Black Dragon Gorge." A middle-aged man with a beard and carrying an ax said coldly.
Li Kuang looked at the big man. This guy was a warrior in the realm of marrow cleansing. No wonder he dared to look down on himself.
"Yes, this guy is a burden."
A thin young warrior said.
Li Kuang glanced at this person, peak marrow cleansing?
He soon discovered that most of the warriors recruited by the Xishan caravan were warriors above the marrow-cleansing realm, and among these people, an old man with a black beard and a young man in white were watching the scene coldly.
"snort!"
Li Kuang sneered and stepped with his right foot.
"bump!"
With a muffled sound, a green brick beneath his feet shattered.
"Um?"
When the others saw it, they couldn't help but be moved. The green bricks paving the floor were extremely hard, and not something that a warrior in the bone-forging realm could crush with just one foot.
The middle-aged man's mouth twitched and he did not dare to underestimate Li Kuang anymore.
"Hmm!"
The thin young warrior sneered twice and said nothing more.
Only the innkeeper was unhappy and wanted to replace the bricks again.
"Okay, let's meet here tomorrow morning and then cross Heilong Gorge."
A middle-aged guard leader next to the mysterious woman glanced at everyone and said.
Then, someone came to register Li Kuang's name, and then took him to the guest room to rest.
Naturally, Li Kuang would not tell his real name. His current name is Li Yidao.
The name Li Yidao actually suits Li Kuang very well, because in his previous life, when he fought against people, he would kill them with one sword, which was simple and direct.
The Xishan caravan wants to transport a batch of goods to Xuanzhou, and the Black Dragon Gorge is not peaceful right now. With the strength of the Xishan caravan, it is really hard to cope with it.
Once they encounter bandits, the caravan's goods will not be safe.
This is the reason why the Xishan Caravan recruited warriors.
The Xishan Caravan was originally going to recruit thirty warriors this time, but with the temporary addition of Li Kuang, there were now thirty-one warriors. Only the Xishan Caravan could recruit so many warriors at once.
You know, recruiting warriors is impossible without money.
Without remuneration, who will work for you for free? This is a very real problem.
"Miss, are the people we recruited okay?"
In a courtyard behind the inn, the mysterious woman from the Xishan caravan was talking to the leader of the guards.
"We didn't recruit a half-step master, hey!"
The mysterious woman sighed.
"Then... how about waiting for a few more days?"
Zhang Xiudao, the leader of the guards.
The mysterious woman pondered for a moment and shook her head: "We can't wait any longer. The other party is pressing us very urgently. Moreover, if we don't leave, we won't be able to deliver the goods on time."
The consequences of failure to deliver on time are serious.
Zhang Xiu, the leader of the guards, stopped talking.
"But that guy named Li Yidao is hard to see through." The mysterious woman said suddenly.
"He? A little guy from the fifth level of bone forging?"
Zhang Xiu was very disdainful when he heard this.
"Okay, go down and get ready!"
The mysterious woman said.
"Yes! Miss!"
Zhang Xiu quickly exited the courtyard.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the inn lobby, had breakfast, and the Xishan caravan set off. (To be continued)
