The Xishan caravan was very large, with hundreds of guards wearing black leather armor and steel swords hanging from their waists. The mysterious woman was sitting in a sedan chair and did not show her face.
The thirty-one warriors recruited were all assigned red-striped horses. Although these horses were not as steeding as the dragon-horned horses, each one was worth ten taels of gold.
Moreover, in a place like Black Dragon Mountain, a red-striped horse costs more than ten taels of gold. Even twenty taels of gold may not be able to get one.
"What kind of goods is this caravan escorting?"
Li Kuang looked at the carriages wrapped tightly in black cloth and couldn't help but be curious.
He looked at the traces of the road where the carriage had passed. The indentations were very deep. The goods being pulled on the carriage must have been quite heavy. He counted. The carriage was covered with black cloth and tied tightly with tendon ropes.
There are thirty-five chariots.
The people of the Xishan caravan came out of the mountain town in a mighty manner, attracting the attention of countless people.
Just as the Xishan caravan left the mountain town, a homing pigeon flew out of a courtyard in the mountain town and disappeared into the horizon.
"Hey, if this deal is completed, our brothers in Heilong Village will be able to live comfortably for a few years." Under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, a one-eyed old man showed a cunning and insidious look.
The Xishan Caravan is the caravan of the Chu family in Xishan City. The Chu family in Xishan City is the largest family after the Feng family. The Chu family and the Feng family are also allies by marriage.
There are really not many people who dare to attack the Xishan caravan on the ground of Xishan City.
This time, the person escorting the goods to Xuanzhou was the youngest daughter of the head of the Chu family. This little daughter of the head of the Chu family was mysterious. Only a handful of people in the entire Xishan City had seen her true face.
Moreover, this little girl of the Chu family is only twenty-eight years old, but she manages the Chu family's business in an orderly manner, and her business ability is much stronger than that of the older generation.
This time, she personally escorted the goods to Xuanzhou, which shows that she attaches great importance to this transaction.
Of course, in order to protect his precious daughter, the head of the Chu family sent a hundred-man guard, and the leader of the guard, Zhang Xiu, was a half-step innate warrior.
A half-step master can almost walk sideways on the border of Xishan Mountain.
Because they were escorting the goods, the team did not move very fast. Li Kuang was riding a red-striped horse and was so bored that he almost fell asleep.
The other recruited warriors were scattered around the convoy, and everyone was very bored. The ferocious-looking middle-aged man who Li Kuang laughed at yesterday was looking around with his big ax, looking very majestic.
"It's boring. Are all those horse thieves dead? Why don't a few of them jump out and let me see the blood with my axe!"
The middle-aged man cursed and said.
"We haven't reached the boundary of Heilong Gorge yet, where are the horse and mountain bandits coming from?"
A middle-aged man with a short beard carrying a sword said.
"Wang Dongyang, how about the two of us come and practice?"
The middle-aged man suddenly grinned at the middle-aged man carrying the sword.
The middle-aged swordsman Wang Dongyang frowned and said, "I won't go crazy with you."
"Haha, Zhao Zhanhu, it's not easy for you to have fun." The thin young man in white clothes on the side suddenly said to the middle-aged man, and then motioned to Li Kuang.
"Hou Yifeng, do you dare to underestimate me?"
Zhao Zhanhu glared angrily at the thin, monkey-like young man in white.
"How do you say this?"
Hou Yifeng said in astonishment.
"What the hell is your intention, asking me to bully a kid who only has the fifth level of bone forging?"
Zhao Zhanhu was very angry. This guy was a big boss. Although he didn't take Li Kuang seriously, he didn't bother to trouble Li Kuang.
"this……"
Hou Yifeng couldn't help being surprised. He was also bored and idle, so he thought that he wanted to encourage Zhao Zhanhu to make trouble for Li Kuang. Who wanted to backfire and directly angered Zhao Zhanhu.
"That's not what I meant!"
Hou Yifeng said quickly that he didn't want to mess with this guy.
"What does it mean if it's not this consciousness? Damn it, I'll practice with you first."
Zhao Zhanhu immediately rode his horse towards Hou Yifeng.
"You're crazy."
Hou Yifeng just ran away, only a fool would fight with this guy.
"Boss Zhang, help me!"
Then Hou Yifeng rode directly towards Zhang Xiu, the leader of the guards.
"What are you talking about!"
Zhang Xiu was angry. These guys really couldn't keep their peace at all. They could cause trouble even if they didn't do anything. They hadn't even reached the Black Dragon Gorge yet.
When Zhao Zhanhu saw Zhang Xiu getting angry, he immediately gave up and stopped in a hurry. He couldn't help but to give up. Who said Boss Zhang was half-step innate? The opponent's fists were so hard!
With Zhang Xiu, a half-step master, these warriors recruited simply did not dare to act recklessly.
These people just want to pass through the Black Dragon Gorge safely, and it's okay to have a small fight, and it's impossible to really fight to the death.
Now Yunzhou and Xuanzhou are in a state of war, and the Black Dragon Gorge is not peaceful. Even in peacetime, bandits and horse bandits rob passersby from time to time in the Black Dragon Gorge.
And now, those bandits and horse bandits are even more rampant.
"Brother, those people just wanted to touch you."
At this time, a young warrior approached Li Kuang and spoke in a low voice.
Li Kuang glanced at this man, with a slight smile on his lips, but said nothing.
"Hey, it turns out that brother already knew it. It seems that my worries are unnecessary." This guy was a little embarrassed and was about to ride away.
"Follow me and I'll make sure you're fine."
Li Kuang said suddenly.
The warrior in green clothes felt happy and followed Li Kuang closely, not daring to stay away.
The weapon of this young warrior is a big gun. This big gun is very heavy, weighing at least one or two thousand kilograms. It is hung on the carriage pulling goods.
The heavy weapons of the warriors in the caravan were stored in a dedicated carriage, otherwise the red-striped horses under their crotches would not be able to bear it.
You know, not everyone has a storage ring to store things like Li Kuang.
At this time, the roads gradually became deserted, and the trees became denser. From time to time, one or two roars of wild beasts could be heard in the forest, but everyone paid no attention to it.
Ordinary savage beasts are like ants in front of Marrow Cleansing Realm warriors, killing as many as they come.
Especially Zhao Zhanhu, who was full of evil aura, and ordinary beasts would take a detour when encountering him.
"Everyone is paying attention."
Zhang Xiu, the leader of the guards, said loudly.
At this time, the guards of the Chu family were holding their swords in their hands to deal with emergencies at any time, especially around the sedan chair of Miss Chu family, which was even more tightly guarded.
Among the guards guarding the sedan chair, there were eight guards who carried powerful bows and arrows, capable of attacking from afar and defending at close range.
No one spoke. The trees on both sides of the road were very dense and no one dared to be careless.
"roar!"
At this moment, a roar came from the front, and the next moment, a fishy wind blew up in the mountain road without any warning, and the fallen leaves on the ground were swept up into the air.
A huge beast shadow appeared in front, blocking the way of the caravan. (To be continued)
