1Xu Pan and Ding Ertong saw that the situation was not good and ran away. However, Han Jiangling, who was still standing there despite suffering, was about to step up the mountain when he was stopped by the Chu escort leader behind him who was two or three heads taller than him. , had no choice but to stand there with his sword behind his back, and asked in a friendly voice, "I'm about to leave. I wonder what's going on with Mr. Chu?"
"Han Jiangling, right?" The strong woman did not hide it, wiping a few drops of sweat from her face with the back of her hand, and stood face to face with the young man, "If my memory is not wrong, it seems that you were registered in the escort agency not long ago. , it’s really not easy to have such skills at such a young age.”
Han Jiangling nodded, "The escort chief is joking. He has just walked between life and death a few times, and his skills seem to be normal. How can he dare to compete with the seniors of the escort agency? If it is really a matter of life and death, he still has to support the escort chief and his seniors." The more care you take, the more you can save your life."
"It doesn't look like it's true. Ordinary warriors can't take my Emei thorn. Even the masters of the two gangs in the east of Yizhang will definitely not be able to take it with two fingers. With the skills of my little brother, It is definitely not something that can be achieved after several lives and deaths." Chu Biaotou's speech was very straightforward, and he had cut into the empty door in a few sentences. He looked at the young man calmly, "I, Chu Yun, have never been slanderous in my speech, and I don't want to imitate those people in the market. The intermediary is going round and round, if you ask more straightforwardly and be more considerate, at worst, you will be punished with two jars of wine after leaving the escort, and we will still be brothers after that."
Hearing this, Han Jiangling was also surprised and secretly admired the bodyguard leader: He who could say such words must at least have a certain amount of pride in his chest. For the bodyguard industry, it is indeed rare to have such a bodyguard leader. , then he bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chu has said this, he probably regards me, Han Jiangling, as his brother. I should tell you everything I know, so please speak freely."
"Little brother Han didn't know where to make a living before he came to Shaowu Ancient Town?" Chu Yun asked directly without delay.
"Huayanshan on the northwest road of Yizhang is engaged in the escort business. He escorts the escorts from Qiling and sends them to the market across Wanlisha. Unfortunately, after only a few trips, he encounters a tough situation. The escort team is alive and well, probably. I'm the only one left." As he spoke, a shadow flashed across Han Jiangling's eyes.
"No wonder Brother Han behaves in an old-fashioned way, not like a fledgling who has just joined the industry," Chu Yun sighed. "They say they would rather walk eight thousand miles from Xijun, but they only paint Wuling Pass. The horse thieves in the desert outside the pass are so fancy with their swords." It is said that this is a cruel move. If our escort agency takes him out of the customs, there will not be many people left alive."
"I wonder where Brother Han studied under?" Chu Yun also knew the rules, so he didn't dwell too much on the question just now. He changed the topic and smiled, "As far as I know, the only person who is good at using such a heavy sword is close to Yi. There are several small sects on Zhangdong Road, but listening to Brother Han's accent, I can't hear Yizhang Dongbian's accent at all, but the authentic Yizhang Mandarin, but I don't know where he learned his extraordinary skills. Come."
"Swordsmanship is basically the same family. There is no difference between fine and heavy, short or long, and the methods are more or less the same." Han Jiangling smiled brightly, "To be honest, if you abandon the long sword and cultivate the heavy sword, it will be easier to figure out the key to transporting power. If you can No matter how heavy it is, I can take my swordsmanship to a higher level. This is also what the elders of our sect have told me. I am afraid it is inconvenient for me to reveal too much about it if it goes deeper."
Chu Yun nodded. He had been in the world for many years and naturally knew that the questions should not be too in-depth. Just click on it. Moreover, Han Jiangling's words were airtight and there was no ambiguity at all. At that moment, most of his doubts were dispelled and he smiled as well. He said, "If you stay at the Shaowu Escort Agency for a long time in the future and encounter provocations from those who can't wait, just report my name."
Han Jiangling clasped his fists and said, "I'd like to thank you in advance. If I can be of any use to you, I'll let you know, and I'll naturally not refuse."
As the leader of an escort, it is natural to ask questions about many things. At least you have an idea in your mind, so that you can lead everyone to escort the escort with peace of mind. There is nothing wrong with Chu Yun's move, but after Xu Pan found out about it, he couldn't help but feel disdainful.
However, Han Jiangling was not in the mood to chat with Xu Pan at this moment. Instead, he was looking at the top of Panma Ridge, which was very close at hand, with a confused expression.
The top of Panma Ridge is extremely narrow. It is not until you reach the highest point that you can step into the wide area. Firstly, it is rugged and difficult to walk. Secondly, if the horse is frightened here, it will be difficult to walk as expected, and it will not even fall to the bottom of the ridge. It can be seen that it is almost night now, and the escort team has been climbing up and down the whole day ridge, but they are not willing to move even half a step. There are even many men with slightly weaker physiques who have drunk a bowl of soup and then wandered around. I chose a place to fall asleep, but I had no intention of eating.
Xu Pan was also so tired that he felt numb all over, but he did not forget to secretly scold Chu Yun, saying that this woman was so busy that if someone else took the escort, she would have to climb the mountain in two days to avoid being overworked. , there is no one like Chu Yun who urges everyone to reach the top of the mountain in one day.
Unlike Xu Pan, Ding Ertong did not curse secretly. Instead, he chose a rocky place to stay, lay down very comfortably, pressed dead leaves into the two copper tubes, lit them with a bonfire, and swallowed the clouds. Fog, looks very happy.
"Brother Xu, in my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Chu Biaotou's actions, but there are some faults." Han Jiangling raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, his brows furrowed.
It was getting close to the sun, the moon was as full as a disk, and it was very hazy and difficult to distinguish among the vast fog and bonfire dust and smoke.
"I have never walked through places like Panmaling. I just realized how dangerous this place is today." Seeing Xu Pan approaching, the young man picked up some gravel and started to draw it in the soil. "If it weren't for Panmaling, The mountain is difficult to climb. I am afraid that there are definitely not a few horse thieves who set up ambush and plunder here: the top of the mountain is narrow and narrow, with steep sides and no place to stay, but beyond the ten-mile mountain road, it suddenly becomes clear. Brother Xu has been in the escort agency for many years, so he should also Know that if you are attacked here, you will narrowly escape death.”
Xu Pan frowned and looked at it for a long time, his face became more solemn, and he hesitated to speak, "But setting up an ambush here is a bit too risky. Regardless of the difficulty of the mountain, lying in wait for several days in this area will be in vain. , Besides, how do the bandits know that our escort agency only has thirty or fifty people on this trip?"
"Brother Xu's words are not bad, but there are still a few things that I probably missed," Han Jiangling picked up two stones from the ground and said slowly: "Since he is a rogue horse thief, of course he must plunder To make a living, if you leave Panmaling and walk this section of the northern border, it is nothing more than those families. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, at least you can let these thieves rob some valuable items."
After saying that, the young man placed a stone outside the picture of Panma Ling and another one at the south of Panma Ling. "But since I mentioned it before, most of the people here can't bear to be robbed and have moved to live elsewhere. This way, the thieves can choose. The only one left is south of Panmaling.”
The young man took a stone and kept talking, his face even more cold in the bonfire, "West County has always been a tricky place. Every official in charge of West County in the imperial court was unwilling to take drastic measures to disperse the bandits, and only wanted to maintain a general sense of stability. , so there is no one behind you and me except the escort agency. If the bandits attack, I wonder if Brother Xu will have any concerns."
"But Brother Han still hasn't explained it. How did the bandits know that I was crossing the mountain at this time?" Xu Pan didn't figure it out for a while.
Han Jiangling pointed to the bonfire and then to the sky, and said with a smile, "You don't need to go too far in advance. It only takes one night to go up the mountain."
The full moon is like a mirror, with a cold and desolate light.
