Yunshan Yiqi led the way, followed by Shi Huangzi and the emperors. The captain of the third-grade Martial Emperor was named Jin Ge, and he was the strongest among the three captains under Black Fire.
, he followed Black Fire's instructions and kept no more than one foot away from Shi Huangzi at all times.
Looking at the three lieutenants behind him, they maintained a parallel posture and ran after Jin Ge. Although they understood that this was not a battle ordered by the army, the formation still did not break up. Just looking at this feeling of the iron-blooded army was enough to get a glimpse of the leopard.
It can be seen that the Lihuo Legion is very powerful.
Look at those six people from Li Ji who barely maintained their formation and had murderous intent rising on their faces. The other four people seemed to be traveling with the group.
Danghu Mountain is located on the Danghu Mountains on the southeastern border of the Red Tiger Kingdom, which is about to enter the Xuanhu Kingdom. It is said to be a mountain range, but in fact it is just a small mountain range formed by many mountains, and is named after the most famous one, Danghu Mountain.
As for why it was named Danghu Mountain, Shi Huangzi asked Yunshan, who was responsible for sorting out the intelligence collection routes in the Hu Xiaotang Xiaohu Group, why it was called Danghu Mountain.
This is because in the past, there was a civil war between the Red Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanhu Kingdom due to the conflict between the two countries, and the decisive battle took place at Danghu Mountain.
At that time, red tigers and white tigers of the two countries were intertwined, and the soldiers of the two countries were flying with blood. The emperors and saints of the Tiger Roar Dynasty could not bear to see the two kings letting their subjects bleed for trivial matters, and brothers fighting among themselves.
In a rage, he flattened the top of Danghu Mountain with a palm of his hand, sending countless red and gray tigers flying and stopping the internal fighting. From then on, the mountain photographed became Danghu Mountain.
The top of the mountain that was flattened by the Emperor Sage of the Huxiao Dynasty at that time formed a large piece of flat land in the mountain. Later, people dug a broad road based on the previous ancient road, which led directly to the Danghu Commercial Road, the commercial road between the two cities.
forming.
Later, although due to the opening of the waterway and the increase in bandits in Danghu Mountain, the Danghu Business Road lost the previous scene of endless business protection.
However, those who are in a hurry or have some relationship with bandits, the chamber of commerce that sells their face, or the caravans with strong self-reliance and strong bodyguards still often use this trade route.
After traveling thousands of miles south from Lihuo City in the Red Tiger Kingdom to Panhu City, the shortest land route to Xuanfei City, a large city in the north of the Xuanhu Kingdom, is the Danghu Trade Road.
Others must take a circuitous route by water, or go around to other cities to enter the Xuanhu Kingdom, and then go around in another circle to reach Xuanfei City, because the southeast of the Xuanhu Kingdom is close to the sea, and most of the many rivers and lakes in the Huxiao Dynasty have access to the sea.
They are all in Xuanhu country.
Traversing the Huxiao Dynasty, from the origin of the Barbarian Tiger Kingdom in the northwest wilderness to the Longhu River on the outskirts of the Xuanhu Kingdom, from the Dajiang City of the Lihuo Kingdom into the territory of the Xuanhu Kingdom, it has been closely connected with the twists and turns of the Xuanhu Kingdom.
When thousands of lakes and rivers meet, the first natural barrier called the Black Tiger Swamp is formed.
And those thousands of lakes and rivers divide the territory of Xuanhu Kingdom outside Xuanhu Swamp into the territory of major cities that are intertwined like islands, making Xuanhu Kingdom also known as the Country of Ten Thousand Islands. This is why the Blue Lion Empire is always full of ligers.
One of the main reasons for wars is to attack from the Yunlan Mountains.
Xuanfei City is a large city in the Xuanhu Kingdom because it is the closest to Panhu City in the Fire Kingdom, and Panhu City is the most economically developed city in the southeast of the Fire Kingdom and has the most convenient transportation conditions. Water can be passed through the river city.
Going south of the Yangtze River, the road leads directly from Danghu Mountain to Xuanfei City, so it has become the most prosperous trade exchange point between Lihuo Kingdom and Xuanhu Kingdom.
Danghu Mountain is not high and the mountains are not big, but there are many caves in the mountain and they are covered by giant trees. Except for the main road in the mountain, there are many side roads, making it easy for people to get lost and for bandits to hide, making it difficult to suppress bandits.
Due to the increasing difficulties and the exchanges of merchants, Danghu Mountain with its Danghu Business Road has gradually become a holy place for countless bandits to rob.
Xuanfei City is on the plains of Xuanhu Kingdom, and Panhu City is also on the plains of Lihuo Kingdom. Danghu Mountain is like a big tiger lying between the two cities, and the name of Panhu City comes from this.
There were originally beasts in Danghu Mountain, but they were all strangled and killed by bandits. This was their only contribution to the hundreds of miles long Danghu Mountain trade road.
According to Yunshan's account, there are now three groups of famous bandits in Danghu Mountain, one is the Mountain Eagle Tiger, the other is the Blue Wolf Tiger, and the third is the Howling Sky Tiger, which is called the Three Tigers of Danghu.
The three tigers are sorted at a time, and each month one tiger enjoys the right to rob from time to time in the Danghu Business Road. If there is a large business group or sky-high-priced materials, the three tigers will come out together to rob and share the property equally. The three tigers have always been like brothers.
Live in harmony.
This time, the Red Chamber of Commerce and the Red Tiger Kingdom were dealing with trade supplies. They originally planned to go to Xuanfei City by water, but due to the delay of some goods, the delivery time became tight. If the delivery was delayed, their deal would be
will cause them heavy losses,
In desperation, he informed the three tigers of Danghu and attached a certain amount of gold coins. After getting the promise from Danghu Mountain that they would not rob, they found three major escort groups to escort the caravan together and set off through Danghu Mountain to enter Xuan.
Tiger country.
Isn’t it really the work of Sanhu?
With this question in mind, Shi Huangzi's 16th Cavalry rode day and night. After a few days, they rested for a while in Panhu City and headed toward Danghu Mountain, fifty miles away, wearing their sharp swords and armor.
There was no caravan going to Danghu Mountain that day, and only Shi Huangzi, a sixteen-horseman who came for the battle, was walking slowly along the entire trade road.
The red tigers snorted from time to time, thinking that the oppressive atmosphere in the mountain made them a little uncomfortable, or that the slap of the tiger a thousand years ago made them feel uncomfortable as red tigers. In short, the business road was very quiet.
Shi Huangzi was still very indifferent, and the leaders of the four Lihuo Legion behind him were also very indifferent. The six people from Liji were holding swords and guns in their hands, with serious expressions on their faces. The four people recruited with points and gold coins were looking around, but
I don’t know if I am nervous or indifferent.
The spruce tree in front of him walked quietly under the comfort of the young man, but when he thought of the battle at Danghu Mountain and the entire Xiaohu regiment being captured, he still had an excited look on his face.
The rocks are steep, and the green trees provide shade, reflecting the shadow of the mountain on one side as the sun shines slantingly. There is also the cool and overcast wind that blows from time to time. Shi Huangzi sighed in his heart: Damn it, it is indeed a good place for robbery.
Halfway through the journey, a steady drizzle began to fall from the sky, as if silently preparing for the bloody battle that was about to take place in Danghu Mountain today. Was it the world that was mourning? It seemed that the bandits in Danghu Mountain were going to bleed into rivers.
"Shua..."
Although the voice was a little soft, it still couldn't escape the ears of Emperor Wu. It was a spy of the Danghu Mountain bandits, delivering news to the bandit headquarters.
One of the three captains, under the command of the captain Jin Ge, was about to stand up and fly to catch a bandit spy, but was stopped by Shi Huangzi with a wave of his hand.
Now is not the time. The bandits who captured the Xiaohu Group and demanded ransom have already made it clear to Yunshan that they will set off fireworks to signal the scene of fierce fighting at the end of the Danghu Trade Road.
Before meeting the True Buddha and confirming whether they were bandits from Hushan, he would not take the initiative to take action. However, after confirming, he could not guarantee whether he would take advantage of this group of people.
The Danghu Commercial Road in Danghu Mountain is a good place to make money, but it's a pity that it was ruined by these bandits who don't know how to run it.
Shi Huangzi was thinking about his little calculation in his heart, and looked sideways at the four students who made him look like he really wanted to kick his butts, and the one who hired him for 500,000 gold coins.
Guys, they sneered happily in their hearts.
It’s a joke. With one thousand points and five hundred thousand gold coins per person, it’s strange that you can make money so easily in my hands, Shi Papi. I want to sell you and you have to count the money for me.
The Sixteen Riders of Red Tiger were walking on the Danghu Business Road in the drizzle. From time to time, bandits and spies were following them on both sides of the cliff, sending signals constantly. They thought they were doing it unnoticed, but no one thought of their actions.
It has long been in the eyes of everyone.
"arrive?"
Seeing Yun Shan stop Chi Hu, Shi Huangzi stepped forward and asked lightly.
"Here we are, where the hill fell and where the sky's throat was cut..."
The spruce pointed at one place, and said with some sadness. Following the place where the spruce pointed, Shi Huangzi could still vaguely see some blood stains. Although it had been many days, the blood had been dried by the wind and sand, or it had been dried by the rain.
The blood stains have faded, but the traces remain.
"They will pay with blood. Send the signal."
Shi Huangzi patted Yunshan on the shoulder. At his signal, Yunshan took out a firework bomb and fired it into the sky.
"Bang!"
Fireworks as red as blood exploded in the air, and the sound exploded in the silence of Danghu Mountain and spread far away. The bloody fireworks were chosen by Shi Huangzi himself. He wanted to make today's bandits look like they just did
Fireworks exploded and blood splattered.
"Boom!"
Not long after, a large group of people and horses rushed out from the end of the road, riding all kinds of walking monsters. The person in front of them was also riding a red tiger.
When the red tiger on his crotch saw the red tigers all around Shi Huangzi, he roared hard at them.
"roar!"
"roar!"
What responded to it was the roar of sixteen red tigers, which made the walking monster beasts a little panicked when the bandits were rushing, and kept screaming nervously. If it weren't for their master's strong comfort, there would have been a few.
People fall.
"Yes, he is quite capable. Catch those spies and don't let them escape."
Shi Huangzi secretly praised, then gave an order, and the Tao figure flashed out in an instant. Within a few breaths, several restrained figures fell to the ground. Between them and the masked bandit, a pitiful howl came from his mouth.
"Your people?"
Shi Huangzi touched the tiger's head, took two steps forward, blocked Yunshan behind, and calmly asked the person on the red tiger opposite.
"Hahaha, brothers, he actually asked us if those bastards from Sanhu are our people."
The masked leader shouted arrogantly, causing the bandits behind him to laugh.
"Hey, it'll be easier if I'm not one of your people."
With a flick of the wind from Shi Huangzi's palm, the four people on the ground who were still howling in pain were thrown to the rocks. In a breath, their bodies burst into pieces and made no sound. The remaining bandit spy who fainted from fright was then hit by Shi Huangzi's right hand.
Buttoned, and flew down to the red tiger on the spruce tree.
"Good means, ruthless enough, who is your friend?"
"I'm not from the Tao, I'm from heaven. Make friends with others. I don't have time to play with you. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but play with you to death later."
Shi Huangzi said coldly, causing the leader on the opposite side to lose his composure. All the bandits behind him drew out their sabers at the same time. It was obvious that they were not just simple bandits.
"My master would like to invite you to visit the mountain to see if you are an old friend. If you dare to come, follow him. If you don't dare to come, just wait for an hour and someone will arrive."
Chi Hu waved his hand, and the bandits' sabers were sheathed. Then with a loud shout, he led the bandits into the forest nearby.
"Really!"
Shi Huangzi slapped Chihu and led everyone to follow him. He wanted to see what kind of medicine these bandits were selling in their gourds.
