Soon, the escort's convoy drove into a long and narrow canyon.
The ground is fairly flat, even enough for several carriages to drive abreast.
But on both sides are stone walls as straight as a knife, looking up like a line of sky.
And there is no bifurcation in the middle. Once both sides are blocked by people, you will definitely become a turtle in the urn immediately.
"Be careful before and after!"
Even the head escort, Lu Fengling, seemed a little nervous at this moment.
Although he had fought with several groups of tough bandits nearby, they were far from being friends.
If he does encounter one, he will need to pay the corresponding tolls in order to pass safely.
The head escort Lu Fengling was so nervous, not to mention the other escorts. Everyone clenched the weapons in their hands and were alert to the surrounding movements as if facing a formidable enemy.
On the contrary, Ye Chen and the two people in the carriage remained calm, as if they were sightseeing.
This scene simply made the frightened escorts around them extremely psychologically unbalanced.
"Humph, it's like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!"
"Do they still think that the chief escort was just scaring them?"
"When the gangsters actually show up, let's see if they will still be so calm."
"Before, I secretly prayed that I wouldn't encounter ruthless bandits, but looking at their hateful looks, I really hope that there will be a group of ruthless bandits that we can deal with!"
I don't know if his prayer moved God, but as soon as his indignant voice fell, a burst of wild laughter came from the depths of the canyon.
"Hey, I've been waiting for a long time!"
The voice was loud and rough, and the reverberation echoed endlessly in the canyon.
"No, there are gangsters!"
"I don't know which gangster he is from, I hope we know him!"
As soon as that voice came, all the escorts shrank in fear.
The head escort also looked a little ugly.
But he glanced at Ye Chen and the two people in the carriage intentionally or unintentionally, and he said sternly: "I am the chief escort of the Guangfeng Escort Bureau, the Iron-Blooded Crazy Swordsman. May I ask which kind of hero you are?"
"I know it's you!"
The sound appears with everyone.
At the end of the canyon, a group of people strode forward.
There were about a hundred people, all holding weapons, dressed wildly, and with unruly eyes.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a scar across his face.
He is tall, with half of his shoulders exposed, and the muscles on his arms are as strong as a horned dragon's, looking full of explosive power.
"They're from the Wolf Gang!"
"How could it be them?"
"When it comes to brutality, the Wolf Gang is definitely the most notorious in the area. They won't take hard or soft measures. Unless all their demands are met, they will drive away all the passers-by and kill them all."
"Especially the headmaster Chen Zhengyi, not only has his cultivation level reached the quasi-emperor level, but he is also ruthless and ruthless. As long as he doesn't like anyone, he will disembowel them without asking for any reason. He is so cruel and inhumane."
"I hope the chief escort can come to an agreement with Chen Zhengyi, otherwise if they really take action, we will definitely not be their opponent!"
"It's a joke. The cultivation level of our chief bodyguard is only the fourth level of the Saint level, while Chen Zhengyi, the head of the Wolf Gang, has already reached the peak of the Saint level. There is no way to compare, right?"
After seeing clearly the gangster blocking the way, all the escorts in the Storm Escort Bureau were so frightened that they were sweating, and the hands holding their weapons were trembling slightly.
Even the head escort, Lu Fengling, looked a little pale.
He didn't even care whether Ye Chen and the two would suffer "retribution". Before Chen Zhengyi could get close, he immediately forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Master Chen, it turns out you are the one in charge!"
He spoke very politely, with a flattering smile on his face.
But Chen Zhengyi, who was approaching step by step with a group of gangsters, had no expression on his face.
Stopping a hundred meters away from Lu Fengling, he twisted his sore neck and said casually: "Lu Fengling, I know what you are transporting this time. Leave it behind and I will let you live!"
"So you are here for this batch of goods?"
Lu Fengling's expression changed instantly.
He thought just now that the other party was just here to collect tolls.
Only now do I understand that the other party’s target is the shipment of goods he transported.
You must know that the goods they transported this time are extremely valuable and cannot be lost.
Once they cannot be transported to the designated location within the designated time, the owner of this batch of goods only needs one sentence to make them and the Storm Escort disappear from the world.
"Master Chen, if you have something to say, please tell me..."
He wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile: "Everyone eats on the road, so there is no room for loss in this batch of goods. How about you set a price? As long as I can afford it, I will not bargain!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Chen Zhengyi's voice suddenly rose, "I don't want to repeat the unnecessary words a second time. I will say it one last time, leave the goods and people can leave alive, otherwise..."
"Bang!"
With a wave of his right hand, a broad ax instantly appeared in his hand.
With the blessing of spiritual power, bursts of sharp blade light burst out from the ax blade, making the air "chichi".
Chen Zhengyi, who was careless just now, seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. His eyes were glaring, releasing bloodthirsty killing intent, like a ferocious beast that no one dared to look directly at.
"Chen, the head of the Chen family..."
Lu Fengling was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, "For the sake of our filial piety to you before, please give us a way to survive!"
After a pause, he added: "Since you know what this batch of goods we are transporting is, you should know who the financial backer is behind it. Even if you don't give me face, you should always think about robbing that person's goods.
What serious consequences will it bring to you?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Chen Zhengyi said disapprovingly: "Since I am here to wait for you, I naturally know who the financial backer is behind this batch of goods!"
"this……"
Lu Fengling was momentarily speechless.
He just had the courage to move out the sponsor of the goods, just to use the other party's identity to suppress the Wolf Gang.
Now it seems that he was quite wrong.
Since the other party knew exactly what kind of goods they were transporting and dared to block it so blatantly, how could they care about the identity of the financial owner in his mouth?
"thump!"
Knowing that it was useless to talk more, Lu Fengling suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and ringing his head, and begging bitterly: "Master Chen, please give me a way to survive. As long as you let us go this time, I will definitely guide you a lot in the future."
Come do business!”
At this moment, he couldn't care about dignity or face.
Facing such unscrupulous gangsters is like a scholar meeting a soldier, with no reason to explain.
Apart from blindly begging for mercy, he didn't even dare to think of fighting the other party.
After all, the disparity in cultivation is there. Even if he is willing to take the risk, there is no possibility of winning.
However……
"So, you want the goods at the expense of your life?"
Even though Lu Fengling knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, Chen Zhengyi not only showed no sympathy, but a fierce killing intent rose in his eyes.
"If you had agreed right away, at least you could have saved your life. It's a pity..."
Chen Zhengyi shook his head, "Not only can you not save the goods now, but you also have to risk the lives of everyone in your entire Storm Escort Agency!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised the ax in his hand.
And following his action, the hundreds of gangsters behind him were all gearing up and eager to try.
It seemed that with just an order from Chen Zhengyi, they would instantly turn into a pack of man-eating wolves and pounce on everyone at the Storm Escort Agency.
