Chapter 263: Mr. Ma only robs sex but not wealth
It was already late autumn, and the daylight hours were gradually shortening. After experiencing the attack of the group of horse thieves in the morning, everyone speeded up their journey invisibly. However, at the current speed, it will take tomorrow evening at the earliest to arrive outside 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 between the two places as a transit. 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 county. It provides generous trade policies in order to attract caravans from various countries to come here to drive local development. develop.
However, since the beginning of the year, Yinren Village annexed Tiexin Village, turning the original six-party forces into five parties, 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 Chaser, so it had to demolish the official post leading to it first, which was also considered as a kind of economic sanction.
However, Yinren Village does not pay attention to this kind of thing at all, not to mention how many independent caravans it has brought to Yinren Village after practicing the art for so many years. Only with the powerful intelligence network brought by the salary list, coupled with the operations of the two major families of the Zhong family and the Wang family, Yinren Village has successfully established its own trade network. It cannot be contained by just a few official roads and a few inns.
Zhao Long said loudly to the carriage: "Master, madam, 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 the border of Tiexin Village, they have assumed their respective identities. After all, they are infiltrating into the enemy's hinterland as spies. If they don't enter the role in advance, it will be easy for them to be exposed when they get there.
Zhang Yanyan 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. And Xia Mingfei didn't whip the two old horses pulling the carriage. He just shouted in a low voice, 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.
"A good house is abandoned if it is abandoned. If it is not used, don't use it. It has to 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. Just complain.
Zhang Yanshi touched the mustache stuck to his mouth and said, "It's not good for yourself to harm others."
Lu Huahua briefly cleaned 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 turns out that since they just selected this place, Lu Huahua and Li Xintian came down to clean it. Fortunately, it is deserted here, except for some weeds. It was just that the two people stood there blankly, which made the short-haired boy feel a little angry.
"I am the master. Xiaofeng, go and help the madam clean up this kind of thing." Zhang Yanshi twirled his fake beard and spoke 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 but complain 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 combat, so there is no surprise in sleeping in the open this time. Everyone finished their dinner quickly. Zhang Yanshi, Zhao Long and Yi Xifeng were drinking around the fire, while Lu Huahua and Li Xintian had already entered the carriage nearby to rest.
While the three of them were drinking, Yi Xifeng frowned slightly. The three of them are all cultivating in the Mang Realm. Although in terms of strength, there is a big gap between the fair boy and the other two, but in terms of depth of inner strength, he is the strongest among them!
That's right, the biggest feature of Yi Xifeng's ability to control his energy while drinking is that his inner energy is strong and paid off. This also made the young man develop a habit of keeping his inner energy flowing out at all times.
It's not that he likes to squander his inner energy like this, but Yi Xifeng has gradually developed this vigilant habit since he was designated by Li Chengtao to be a wanderer in the world.
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 heroic young man shook his head imperceptibly. Apparently he was aware of the situation, and Zhao Long also realized that something was happening 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 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 in a cold voice: "The little thief over there actually hurt people with secret arrows!"
Seeing that the attack was successful, the other party placed the two of them on each other. He felt 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's really good at it. He was able to dodge under a sneak attack!" A man wearing a coarse cloth turban said.
"Brother Six! Brother Six! Where's 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's our boss asking you to say? Don't refuse to drink the toast, you'll have to drink as a penalty!"
Mr. Ma raised his hand to stop his men from shouting. He didn't 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!
Talent! Jie Se spoke so righteously! Sure enough, he is the fighting horse three 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 is that everyone's energy is focused on Zhao Long at this time.
