Chapter 263: Mr. Ma only robs for sex, not for wealth
It was already late autumn, and the daylight hours were gradually getting shorter. After experiencing the attack by the group of horse thieves in the morning, everyone speeded up their journey invisibly. However, at the current speed, it would take tomorrow evening at the earliest to reach the outside of Luoye City.
Zhao Long looked at the sun that was already setting. Although it was still half an hour before Youshi, they had to find a place to stay quickly.
Starting from the border between Tiexin Village and Yinren Village, we followed the official road to Luoye City. There were no villages or inns for people to rest along the way.
In fact, last year, there was an official post that served as a transit between the two places. It was only after Yinren Village defeated Ji Rentu's two thousand cavalry at the beginning of the year that the forces on both sides became tense, the official post was demolished.
The entire official post station in Luoye County was built by people sent by Ji Shenfu. This is his power as the county governor. As long as the official post station is built, caravans from any country can come here to trade.
Moreover, Luo Yunguo was willing to subsidize half of the travel expenses.
In fact, this is also a policy of Luo Yun State to encourage trade. After all, Luoye County is one of the four major counties of Luo Yun State, and it is the least powerful. It provides generous trade policies in order to attract caravans from various countries to come here to drive local development.
develop.
However, since Yinren Village annexed Tiexin Village at the beginning of the year, the original six-party forces became five, and even withstood Ji Rentu's fierce attack and defeated it. Yinren Village's status and voice in the eyes of surrounding forces have increased unprecedentedly.
As the overlord, Luoye City could not spare any time to deal with this village with the Wind Chasers, so it had to first demolish the official post leading to it, which could be considered as a kind of economic sanction.
However, Yinren Village does not pay attention to this kind of thing at all, not to mention the number of independent caravans it has brought to Yinren Village after so many years of practice. It is only the powerful intelligence network brought by the salary list, plus the clock
With the operation of the two major families, the Wang family, Yinren Village has successfully established its own trade network, which cannot be contained by a few official roads and a few inns.
Zhao Long said loudly to the carriage: "Master, woman, we are still five or six miles away from the abandoned official post in front of us. Let's speed up and get there before sunset!"
Since the group left Tiexin Village, they have assumed different identities. After all, they are spies sneaking into the enemy's hinterland. If they don't enter the role in advance, it will be easy for them to be exposed when they get there.
Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua didn't speak. Li Xintian's voice, as clear as spring water, came from the carriage: "Master said, just do what Guard Zhao said."
Zhao Long curled his lips, nodded, and rode his horse to lead the way. Xia Mingfei did not whip the two old horses pulling the carriage, but just gave a low shout, and the horses followed him obediently.
…
Next to the pipeline, there is an empty space covered with broken walls and ruins. It has obviously been abandoned for a long time.
"If a good house is abandoned, it will be abandoned. If it is not used, don't use it. It must be demolished? Do you think Ji Shenfu is short of money?" Yi Xifeng, dressed as a book boy, looked at the rubble and broken tiles all over the floor and couldn't help it.
Keep complaining.
Zhang Yanshi touched the mustache stuck to his mouth and said, "It's not good for oneself to hurt others."
Lu Huahua did a simple cleaning next to the wall that was still intact. She turned around and saw the two grown men just talking sarcastically there. She couldn't help shouting: "Hey! You two grown men are going to
Are you here watching us two women working here?"
It turned out that Lu Huahua and Li Xintian came down to clean up the place just now. Fortunately, it was deserted, except for some weeds. It was just the two people standing there blankly, which made the short-haired boy look at it, and he felt somewhat sad.
gas.
"I am the master. Xiaofeng, go and help Madam clean up this kind of thing." Zhang Yanshi twirled his fake beard and spoke with a tone like a landlord.
Yi Xifeng narrowed his eyes, but still went over to help Li Xintian tidy up, but the young man couldn't help complaining in his heart: There are so many dirty words!
Soon, Zhao Long and Xia Mingfei also came back from the dense forest nearby, carrying a few hares and bundles of firewood.
It has entered late autumn at this time, and it is indeed easier to find fire starters such as dry firewood. If it is midsummer, it will be much more difficult to find dry firewood in the dense forest.
Everyone is a master of outdoor fighting, so there is nothing unexpected about sleeping in the open. Everyone finished dinner quickly. Zhang Yanshi, Zhao Long and Yi Xifeng gathered around the fire to drink, while Lu Huahua and Li Xintian had already entered the room nearby.
The carriage is resting.
While the three of them were drinking, Yi Xifeng frowned slightly. The three of them were all cultivating in the Mang Realm. Although in terms of strength, the fair boy was far behind the other two, but in terms of the depth of his inner strength,
, but he is the strongest here!
That's right, the biggest feature of Yi Xifeng's ability to control his energy while drinking is that he has strong internal energy and is paid off. This also made the young man develop a lot of habits to keep this internal energy flowing out at all times.
It's not that he likes to squander his inner energy like this, but since that day when he was appointed by Li Chengtao to travel in the world, Yi Xifeng has gradually developed this vigilant habit.
However, just now, he felt something strange. Not far from them, someone was approaching them.
Yi Xifeng quickly glanced at Zhang Yanshi and Zhao Long. The Yingwu young man shook his head imperceptibly, obviously he was aware of the situation, and Zhao Long also realized that something was going on after seeing the reactions of the two people.
Quietly, a flash of blue light emerged from the eyes of the boy with two swords.
Dragon eye!
This is Zhao Long's unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box.
…
Buzz!
There was a buzzing sound like a locust! Yi Xifeng's face became extremely ugly, but he immediately saw Zhao Long on the side quietly making a calm gesture.
Yi Xifeng had no choice but to stop his restless heart, and with the help of the black crossbow arrow shot at him, he turned over and fell to the ground.
Zhang Yanshi, who was on the side, put on a whole show. He relied on his martial arts skills to excel in defense. He was hit by an arrow and sat down next to the fire.
It's just that he must have done it intentionally. He fell down on his side. If he didn't turn him over, he wouldn't be able to see how deep the crossbow arrow had penetrated.
Zhao Long was much simpler than the two of them. He knocked away two crossbow arrows with his long knife and shouted coldly: "The little thief over there actually hurts people with secret arrows!"
When the opponent saw that he had succeeded with one blow, he placed them on the two of them. He was reassured. Xiao Liuzi led dozens of people and a group of people hulaed up and surrounded the ruins of the inn.
"Brother Six, this is the white-faced guard you were talking about. He is indeed capable of escaping from a sneak attack!" A man wearing a coarse cloth with his head lowered spoke.
"Brother Six! Brother Six! Where is the beauty you mentioned!" someone also shouted.
At this time, Ma Da Bangzi walked out of the crowd and looked at the three people in front of the fire. Two had fallen down and only one was left. He joked: "This brother is very good at martial arts. He must be his bodyguard, right?"
Zhao Long looked at the other party coldly and did not answer.
When the group of horse thieves saw that the other party was silent, one man couldn't help shouting: "What is our boss asking you for? Don't drink the toast and not eat it, you will have to drink it as a penalty!"
Mr. Ma raised his hand to stop his subordinates from shouting. He did not have any bad feelings towards such loyal guards. After all, people in the world would have some good feelings or appreciation for loyal people.
"We came here just to rob sex, not money! Since my brother is employed by someone, you can just take the silver and leave. I, Ma San, will never embarrass you!"
As soon as these words came out, Yi Xifeng, who was pretending to be seriously injured, couldn't help but tremble!
What a talent! Jie Se said it so righteously and awe-inspiring! He is indeed the fighting Ma San among horse thieves!
Fortunately, it was already night time, the lights were dim, and the flickering light of the fire made it difficult to tell whether he moved on his own or because of the light. The most important thing was that everyone's energy was focused on Zhao Long at this time.
