In the mountain forest, which has been swept up by the autumn wind and has a restful atmosphere, the leaves are illuminated by the sunlight and turn autumn yellow. At this time, the sound of "ka~ka~" can be heard from the mountain road.
Far away on the road, the sound of horse-drawn carriages came from a convoy of more than ten people. The driver shouted to the escort: "Renzhong~Pinghe~Renzhong~Pinghe~" But the faces of the more than ten people showed alarm. The color looks like there is some wild beast in the forest.
There was a fat middle-aged man among them. Seeing his velvet clothes, he knew he was from a wealthy family. The middle-aged man asked anxiously: "Are you in the city?" A young man wearing a gray servant's uniform next to him said: "Master, After passing this mountain road, we will reach the city."
The leader of the escort team, who was employed by a middle-aged man, was at the front of the car. He had keen ears as a martial artist. After giving a signal with his eyes, a strong man riding behind him asked the middle-aged man: "Master Shen, what are you doing?" Will that bandit really show up? I think we’re almost at the city gate, so that bandit shouldn’t appear. He’s not afraid of being captured by the soldiers in the city.”
Mr. Shen was still uneasy and said, "You and the escort leader Lin don't know something. This bandit and his companions often cause headaches to the soldiers in the city. If they fail to pursue them, they rob them in the passage into the city.
Moreover, they only caused property damage, did not commit murders and had no record of robbery. More importantly, they were very measured and only needed silver or grain, which was not a lot. The city lord had no strong reason to apply to the court for capture. "
This was the first time that the escort leader Lin heard of a bandit who only wanted to rob money and not commit murder. He could only comfort him and said: "We have almost arrived in the city anyway. We have more manpower and several Qi masters here, plus I am a fifth-level Qi master." Realm Master, even the medium-sized war beasts will not approach easily, don’t worry!”
Master Shen also felt that it was reasonable. He sat on the carriage with peace of mind and continued to move forward. After the carriage had advanced for a while, there were still two mountain roads to reach the city gate. Everyone felt relaxed and there was no need to be so timid. shock.
But at this moment, Captain Lin saw a figure standing in the mountain road and immediately said loudly: "Who is it? Our convoy is going to pass by, please give me some respect and get out of the way!"
Escort Master Lin has been transporting darts all year round. His words first alerted the other escorts, and then made the escorts understand what he meant. He would not look down on the other person as a person, because you don’t know the other person’s background, but also let the other person understand our side. In the world of martial arts, if you don’t look down and don’t look up, you can see each other. Let’s meet each other.
The figure standing in Shandao had no intention of getting out of the way. Bodyguard Lin and the convoy stood in front of each other. Bodyguard Lin saw that the other party was wearing leather armor and some clothes made of animal skins. The most important thing was that the other party was just a man. A boy of about fourteen or fifteen.
The young man had long hair and was simply tied into a ponytail with a straw rope. There was no immature light in his eyes but a calm gaze. At this time, the young man said in a unique young voice: "The boss said, you put down 30% of the value of all your property." The money can just leave.”
When escort leader Lin saw the other person alone, he was either an idiot or someone to rely on, but a dignified fifth-level aura master gave a young man a few words to compromise, so he didn't have to go out and travel around the world.
Of course, there was no need for him, Bodyguard Lin, to argue with the young man. He threw a money bag to the young man and said, "Kid, there is a lot of money in the bag. Go back!"
The usual amount of money is one hundred copper coins, which is equivalent to the value of one tael of silver. It is also the monthly expenditure of a family of three. At the same time, I used a little skill in the money bag to try the other party.
At the same time, Escort Lin thought it should be possible. Others may not be as generous as he was. Who knew that the young man took the money bag easily, put it in his sleeve and tilted his head and said: "This is just the interest, not the 30%. Others should move faster." , look how fast your boss moves."
Head Guard Lin almost vomited blood and said: "Shameless little thief, brother, capture him alive, try not to hurt him, let us Qinglong Kingdom's agents educate him."
The two people behind Escort Lin immediately rushed forward, but after only taking a few steps forward, they knelt down. They could only press their right legs and scream.
He saw the young man's left hand stretched out towards the two of them, with nothing in it. The small bag on his left leg was opened, revealing rows of polished stone swords only three inches long.
What?
How does escort Lin know the length?
Because two stone swords were pulled out by his two brothers.
Lin Biaotou, who was a little surprised by his strength, wiped his eyes because he couldn't see clearly, and exclaimed: "Little brother is not simple, why should you be a thief if you have such skills?"
The young man smiled lightly and said, "Thank you." The young man lowered his hands.
Head Guard Lin saw that the small bag on the side of the young man's right leg was also opened, and half of the stone sword in the bag was missing. He secretly screamed that it was not good.
The voices of other brothers came from behind. When he turned around, he saw that other brothers were also kneeling on the ground. Mr. Shen was also frightened and trembling.
Seeing the other brothers, Lin Dong, who only had superficial injuries, looked around and said loudly: "I, Mr. Lin Dong, the chief escort of Xingsheng Escort Bureau, would like to invite seniors to show up for a gathering."
He didn't believe that there was only one person on the other side, and that one young man could hurt other brothers, especially several brothers with the ability of third-level Qi realm masters. This young man was not a simple boy, and the person who taught him was even more not simple.
A steady voice came from the forest: "Put down your money to help you leave. Don't think too much, Xiaohu's patience is not good."
He didn't even need to discuss it with Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen shouted: "We will put down the money immediately. You move faster." Mr. Shen's servants took action immediately.
The escorts didn't care, and the head of the escort didn't care either. The most important thing was safety. They placed their belongings on the side of the mountain road and said to the young man: "Brother Xiaohu, put down your belongings and please make way." Xiaohu nodded and disappeared into the forest. In the middle, Lin Biaotou ignored the young man's movements and left with his troops.
After the convoy disappeared for a while, Xiaohu and a boy about 18 years old came to the property. The boy waved his hand and all the property disappeared.
The boy's long dark hair was tied into a ponytail, and there were three branches branching out from the ponytail into small ponytails. His eyes were like stars, his nose was high, his face was shaped like an oval, his mouth was thin, he was 1.85 meters tall, and he was fair and tender. The skin color, the body shape of a scholar.
If it weren't for the animal skin coat he was wearing and the jet-black spear on his back, he would have given the impression of a gentle scholar rather than a heroic ranger.
The young man nodded to Xiaohu and said, "That's right, let's go!"
Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes, boss!" The two figures disappeared into the forest.

Among the countless star seas, there is a continent occupied by four empires respectively. They are the Azure Dragon Empire in the east, the Suzaku Empire in the south, the White Tiger Empire in the west, and the Xuanwu Empire in the north. Later generations will call the entire continent the "Four Kingdoms Continent".
The four empires have existed for countless years in ancient times. In addition, the four kingdoms are intermittently surrounded by a huge mountain called "Cross Mountain" that can be connected directly to the sea.
Cross Mountain is called Cross Mountain because it is named after the giant cross-shaped stones that can be seen standing in the mountain as far as ten kilometers away.
Among them, in addition to endless mountains and forests, there are also very powerful birds and beasts. Among them, many masters tremble at the sight of huge war beasts, spiritual beasts full of wisdom, and magical beasts with martial arts, which are all impressive. Due to factors, over time Cross Mountain became a place ignored by the four empires.
In addition to regional culture, the four countries are most different in their different styles. For example, the White Tiger Empire emphasizes martial arts over literature. For example, 50% of the famous bodyguards, police officers and generals in the entire continent are from them. All the people practice martial arts, and the national strength cannot look down.
On the mainland, people who practice martial arts are basically called "martial warriors" and other titles. After learning the "breathing and breathing method" and the formation of Qi and movement, their physical abilities are only several times higher than ordinary people.
The Suzaku Empire is the opposite of the White Tiger Empire, emphasizing culture over military affairs, but don't underestimate them. The literati of the Suzaku Empire collected different books, classical and incomplete exercises, etc., and created many unique exercises among them, which the other three countries cannot underestimate.
