"Swish, swish, swish!"
Xiao Chen thrust out his sword one after another, waving the sharp sword in the air, rolling up the fallen leaves and dust.
The sword falls silently and then makes a sound. Whenever there is an opportunity and free time, Xiaochen will wave the three-foot green peak in his hand. If you have not practiced sword for a long time, you will become unfamiliar. Only by practicing for a long time can you review the past and learn the new.
The same is true for the understanding of swordsmanship. During the period of time when Fanchen was refining his heart, the restlessness in Xiaochen's heart slowly calmed down, and he became more restrained and more ready to go.
In the early morning, the location of the Canaan Escort Agency is easy to find, and you can find out after just a little inquiry.
In addition to the five people from the Canaan Escort Agency, there were also dozens of servants responsible for escorting the carriage. Most of these people were mortals and were responsible for driving the carriage and daily maintenance work.
Until the end, the Canaan Escort Bureau did not recruit enough people. Except for Xiao Chen, there were only three people. A few of them briefly greeted each other and learned from their respective introductions that they were all at the Qi Condensation Stage.
The one with an eyepatch covering one eye is named Bi Wei, the one with red hair in a high ponytail calls herself Sister Lan, and the last one holding a war hammer is called He Wei.
Several of them are not good at sociability, and they are usually aloof, but now that we all work together, we can be considered to have some acquaintances.
The transport was a mid-stage psychic beast named Thunder Cloud Leopard, which was now locked in a cage. Apart from this monster, there was also a woman traveling with the team.
It is said that she is the second young lady of the Koyomi family, and this trip is also to go home to visit relatives. Because of the relationship between the truck and the characters, the overall speed of the group will be much slower.
"My name is Han Niu, the name given to me by the boss. My biggest wish is to save enough money to marry a wife and live a good life!" Han Niu is 2 meters tall, with two mountain axes pinned to his back, and he is talking angrily. Xiaochen spoke.
The journey was a bit boring. Han Niu felt that the young man in front of him was easier to talk to and was willing to listen to his chatter, so he got closer to Xiao Chen.
"Really? That Han Niu can definitely do it." Xiao Chen replied, not at all like the other three who looked down upon Han Niu because of his simplicity and vulgarity.
The group of people had been traveling for a while and learned a lot of information from Han Niu Xiaochen.
What Canaan Escort Agency has been in business for more than ten years, has never lost an escort, and is also a leader in the industry.
There were also some things that he boasted about, and Xiao Chen just listened to them.
The carriage moved forward slowly, entering the Yushu Mountains in front of it. Everyone was a lot nervous. Although the road in front of them was a highway, it was still some distance away from Huize City. Many daring bandits would also screen their prey here. .
"Silly cow! Stop talking, you and Bi Wei go to the right rear." Gan Shufeng said from the front of the motorcade.
Han Niu responded, apologized to Xiao Chen, and walked to the rear right.
Xiao Chen was fine. According to his observation, only Gan Shufeng, the leader of the escort team, was at the foundation level.
The remaining people were also arranged into defensive positions, with Xiao Chen beside the carriage.
As we get deeper and deeper into the Yushu Mountains, the road in front of us becomes narrower and narrower. The trees on both sides seem to be tightly planted on both sides of the road, blocking the sky above our heads wantonly.
"The wind has become noisy!" Xiaochen's spiritual thoughts did not spread out much, and he tried his best to stay vigilant around himself. He just felt that the wind in the woods on the right became chaotic, as if it was stirred by something.
Gan Shufeng, who was at the front, obviously noticed the strange movement. His expression condensed, and he clenched his right hand and raised his fist. The team behind him suddenly understood and gradually slowed down.
Xiaochen unsheathed the sword in his hand and thought: "Someone is spying on me secretly."
"No, the other party is focusing on the sedan and the truck."
The space in storage bags is often very limited, and it cannot contain live monsters or special goods. Those goods that cannot be contained are often expensive or special, so goods and carriages are what bandits pay most attention to.
But no matter what, it will be much safer to follow the escort team through the Yushu Mountains than the monks in the Qi Condensation Stage alone. The terrain in the mountains is complex, and the bandits will have more terrain advantages.
"What's the matter, Mr. Gan?" Li Jingyun, who was sitting in the sedan, opened the curtains, looked out and asked doubtfully.
"Miss Li, be careful when entering the mountain!" Gan Shufeng said loudly.
After hearing this, Li Jingyun also looked around and didn't notice anything was wrong, but still sat back in the sedan.
She is actually just a concubine of the Li family, and the second lady also made up her name. This time she went back to her hometown in Maplewood City to visit relatives and to avoid trouble, so she was very nervous along the way and worried whenever there was any disturbance.
Xiao Chen took a look at Miss Li and noticed that she seemed a little nervous, but after seeing that she was a mortal, he stopped paying attention.
"Brother Xiao, you seem to be very nervous! Relax, there is still a long way to go." The person who was in the group with Xiao Chen was Hong Ling Niang, who had a match in the private room, and everyone in the escort agency called her The matchmaker is a woman in her thirties who still has charm.
Xiao Chen nodded, but did not put away the long sword in his hand, but the movement of holding the sword was slightly restrained.
Seeing this, Hongling Niang didn't say anything else. Too much mental pressure can make a person collapse. Those of them who often work as escorts are naturally used to it. She also saw that Xiaochen was young, so she reminded him.
Until nightfall, the feeling of being spied on from time to time never dissipated. The group of people behind them also gradually accelerated their speed. At present, they should be being targeted, but the other party seemed to be still hesitating and did not take action.
The carriage stopped in the open space beside the road. The surrounding low shrubs had been cleared. Before the sky got completely dark, a huge bonfire was set up. Because there were mortals in the convoy, they needed to rest at night. After some discussion, half of the monks stayed there for half the night, and the other half stayed there for the rest of the night.
"Pap, tap!" The flames danced in the fire, and the red-hot firewood was now glowing orange-red.
The light shines on everyone's faces, giving people a sense of security. People around the campfire will inevitably feel more relaxed.
The aroma of the grilled meat sizzles and sizzles.
"Brother Xiao, come on, try this roasted rabbit leg. Lao Hou just caught it. It's delicious." Hanniu handed the roasted rabbit leg to Xiaochen and said.
"No, you can eat it yourself, silly cow. I'm not very hungry." Xiaochen looked at the roasted blackened rabbit legs and finally refused.
Seeing this, Han Niu stopped insisting and started eating by himself.
"Brother Xiao, what do you most want to do in the future?" Han Niu also asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, "It's similar to you. After you finish some things, you can find a girl you like and get married."
"Hehe!" Han Niu smiled naively after hearing this. He believed it, and felt that Xiao Chen was the same person. Ever since Xiao Chen entered Accord No. 16 that day, Han Niu felt that he was special. , there is a feeling of meeting a soulmate.
The bonfire was still burning. Hanniu looked at the flames with many expectations in his eyes. He thought very simply.
"Have a drink? The temperature in the mountains can drop a lot at night. Ginger tea can keep out the cold." Lao Hou came closer and poured a cup of ginger tea for everyone.
"No need." The four people declined one after another. Everyone should have common sense when going out. Besides, monks do not need to eat food after going without food.
Lao Hou was not too surprised. He poured himself a full glass, smashed it in his mouth and drank it, as if to say, it tastes so good, why don’t you drink it?
The lights in the carriage were also extinguished. Xiaochen was responsible for the latter half of the night, so he sat by the fire and started practicing. With his spiritual mind on guard, he didn't need to worry about emergencies.
The other monks gave Xiao Chen a strange look. They either leaned against the tree and looked at the sky, or squinted for a while. None of them were cultivators.
"It's also a big heart, not afraid of being disturbed, and going crazy." Hong Lingniang said in a low voice.
The first half of the night was quiet. After the shift, Xiaochen stood up and looked around.
"There are a few grooms going there for a convenience. It's been a long time." Gan Shufeng noticed this at this time and looked at the bushes on the left. Logically speaking, even if he is going for a convenience, he must be in a position where everyone can see those things. They are all people who often follow him on escorts, so they naturally know this matter.
"Those who went there for convenience should be dead." Xiao Chen also glanced at the trees on the left. He didn't see anyone coming back for a quarter of an hour, and the surrounding trees were inexplicably foggy. This was not a good sign.
"It seems that he has been targeted since he left the city." Xiaochen thought to himself as he placed the long sword in his hand.
"Boohoo!"
Several flying knives shot out from the bushes and headed straight towards the carriage. Judging from the spiritual power attached to them, they were cast by people at least level 7 of Qi Condensation.
"Those people's target is Miss Li, who seems to be an enemy in the city." Xiaochen reacted immediately and stood up.
The dart was also blocked by Hong Ling Niang's double swords, but the sound also woke everyone up.
Everyone opened their eyes and became more vigilant after seeing the flying knives on the ground.
But this flying knife was just a test, and there were no more attacks in the woods.
"Be careful, others should rest first." Gan Shufeng pressed his hands down, indicating that the problem was not serious at the moment.
"Where's Lao Lin?"
"And Lao Li..." There were no blood stains or corpses in the camp, so it was obvious where they had gone.
"Quiet! Take a few of the matchmakers to look for you tomorrow morning. If you can't find them, forget it!" Gan Shufeng said as if he was used to it.
Someone died on the first night, which made everyone feel a lot heavier. The enemy was always peeping in the dark, which made everyone feel even more gloomy.
