"About ten days ago, I went to the capital to do some personal business. When I came back, I met a group of bodyguards in Tujiayao..."
Tujianao is a very long and narrow valley with high cliffs and dense forests, blocking out the sky and the sun. It is a place where green forests appear at a glance. The soldier was alone, with no valuables on him, and since he was not weak in martial arts, he naturally had nothing to fear.
He was alone, coming and going like the wind. When he rode into the valley, there was already a group of people in front of him, but it was a group of escorts. The flag of the escort clearly read "Dawei Escort Bureau".
The single soldier liked to make friends, so he rushed over to talk to the escort leader. The escort's surname was Yang Qing, and he came all the way from the capital, but where he was going, Yang Qing did not tell the individual soldiers. Of course Shan Bing knew the rules of the arena and didn't ask too much. Of course, Yang Qing only talked to the soldier when he saw him alone. Generally, when escorts are escorting, they will never let strangers approach them, mainly because they are afraid of falling into the enemy's tricks.
"This is not a good place! I think it would be better for you to walk faster." Shansheng reminded kindly.
"Yes! But for us escorts traveling all over the country, it is inevitable to encounter dangerous places. We can live a lot in such a place." Yang Qing agreed.
"It's true that there is no easy way out!" the soldier replied.
As the two of them were talking, suddenly a pathfinder escort in front of them reported on Pegasus: "Headguard, the road ahead is blocked by rocks."
"How could this happen? Is there a strong man blocking the road on purpose? Take me to see it." When Yang Biaotou heard that the road was blocked, he immediately became nervous.
Yang Qing and Shan Bing immediately took a look and saw that the road was blocked by rocks, making it difficult for even people to pass, let alone escort vehicles. Yang Qing dismounted and walked to the rocks, with his left hand
After smelling a bit of soil, his expression immediately became more nervous, and he shouted: "The soil smells of gunpowder. The strongman must have deliberately blocked the road. Everyone, please be careful."
When all the bodyguards heard about it, they all became nervous and took out their weapons one after another.
Shan Bing talked with Yang Qing all the way and felt that this man had a good temperament and was very compatible with him, so he intended to help him and drew his sword to prepare for the enemy.
Yangqing's escort team transported ten large carts, all of which were sealed wooden boxes. The situation was urgent at this time. Yang Qing did not glance at the wooden boxes on the cars, but touched a wooden box on his back.
Yang Qing glanced around and saw no enemies, so he asked Shan Bing, "Brother Shan, do you know if there are other trails in this valley."
Shan Bing was relatively familiar with this place. He already knew a path, but if he proposed to change the route, he would probably cause Yang Qing to misunderstand. When Yang Qing asked about this, he replied: "There is a road, but it's not easy to walk."
"Then please ask Brother Shan to lead the way and cross this valley first." Yang Qing said anxiously.
The single soldier then pointed to the cliff on the left and said: "There is a small path on this cliff, which can barely pass people, but cars and horses cannot go there. If you want to go through here, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring these things with you."
"This is easy to handle." Yang Qing said and clapped his hands three times. The escorts immediately understood and opened the sealed wooden boxes one after another. However, they only took some simple baggage and threw everything else in the boxes. .
The soldier originally thought that the wooden box was filled with valuables, but now he realized that there was actually nothing in it, but just some daily necessities for travel. Although the individual soldier had doubts, he didn't ask too many questions. He only led Yang Qing and others through the cliff mountain road.
This mountain road is indeed very dangerous. It spirals up and down the cliff, with steep cliffs at the top and abyss at the bottom. If there is an enemy who blocks the way, one man will be able to stop it and ten thousand people will not be able to get through it. This road is rarely traveled by people, and a single soldier has only walked it once.
"Brother Shan, this road is so dangerous. It seems that few people walk on it. How did you know?" Yang Qing asked.
The soldier replied: "I didn't know about this mountain road at all. A few years ago, I heard from a friend that there was such a dangerous road, so the two of them got angry and walked here."
"We must pass as soon as possible. If the pass is occupied by bad guys, we will die without a burial place." Yang Qing said worriedly.
"This road is far from the main road. It will still take a long time for them to get around to us." Shanbing said.
"I'm afraid that they are already prepared and waiting for us in front, and something bad will happen." Yang Qing was still very worried.
Shan Bing saw that Yang Qing was a little worried about him, so he didn't know how to explain it. What's more, Yang Qing's worries are not unreasonable.
With great difficulty, Shan Bing and others finally climbed up the mountain, but it turned out that they had already reached the top of the mountain. Looking up from the height, you can have a panoramic view of the Tu family at the bottom of the valley.
"Going down the mountain from here is the official road. Once you reach the official road, it should be safer." The soldier finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he brought Yang Qing and others into a desperate situation, it would be difficult for him to explain clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.
The single soldier led everyone all the way down the mountain, but still nothing happened. In this way, he arrived at the official road safely.
As soon as everyone was on the official road, suddenly a group of people flew past from behind, and Feiya seemed to have passed in front. Yang Qing is a very cautious person. When he saw the menacing team, one of them glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he immediately became nervous again.
Yang Qing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Brother Yang, now that we have reached the official road, we should break up. Where are you going? Without the horse, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to walk!" Seeing the danger lurking in this team of escorts, the single soldier deliberately left.
"Ma! Damn it, we've fallen into a trap. We can't take the official road, hurry into the woods." Yang Qing seemed to suddenly understand something, and immediately ordered his bodyguards to abandon the official road and rush into the woods on the left.
The soldier was confused and asked, "What's going on?"
As Yang Qing fled, he replied: "The strong men blocked the road with rocks. The purpose is to make us abandon our horses, and then they will chase us. How can we escape? I am sure that those people who passed by just now must be Undoubtedly a strong man.”
Then why didn't they kill us on that mountain road just now? "The individual soldier is still a little confused.
"The strongman is mostly a local. He mistook me as an outsider, so he didn't expect us to follow you from the mountain road, so he didn't set up an ambush on the mountain road." Yang Qing replied.
"Locals? Apart from our Dead Wood Hall, the only one here is the Thousand Insect Cult. Is it them?" the soldier said to himself.
"The Thousand Insect Cult? Luo Baikong? It must be them." Yang Qing suddenly realized when he heard the single soldier mention the Thousand Insect Cult.
