The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 17 Escorting the Imperial Merchant

"This is?" Li Tianxing glanced at the task.

"That's right, the previous mission was really... But I think this mission must be very interesting."

Li Tianxing touched his chin and became interested in this task.

Because this task is exactly what Li Tianxing has seen before. The specific content of the task of escorting jewelry is to escort a group of imperial merchants from the capital of God to Changyang. During the journey, if you encounter a sparsely populated place, you may be attacked by thieves, so there is this Task.

"Although the reward is good, it seems that the risk involved is not small."

Li Tianxing checked his memory and found that there were many no-man's lands on the road between Shendu and Changyang, and there were many robbers among them.

"That's right, as the saying goes, if there is no risk, there is no reward, but we don't seem to have enough people for this task..." Liu Chen looked at Huangshang's number of more than 30 people, and the team would be longer by then, he and Li Tianxing I really can't see it.

"Then call the soldiers under our flag together." Li
Tian Xing thinks that the strength of the soldiers is about the same, they are all close to the existence of third-rate masters, and there is no problem in dealing with some robbers.

"It's not too late, let's get ready now."

An hour later, Li Tianxing showed up at the south gate of Shendu with thirteen ordinary soldiers under him. They were all waiting on horseback, and behind them was the Emperor Shang.

"Li Lingqi, a dozen or so of us are escorting the Imperial Merchant. I heard that bandits are rampant over there. Can we do it?"

He Hao asked worriedly, Li Tianxing didn't say much in the palace, but just told the 13 people that they had jobs, and they quickly prepared to come to the south gate.

"Don't worry, there is still a team of people with us this time, and the task of escorting will be much easier." Li Tianxing turned his head and pointed to a team of people on horseback and said, "Look, that is our companion this time.

He Hao looked in the direction Li Tianxing was pointing at, and a young man in blue came riding with more than a dozen ordinary soldiers from Tiance Mansion, "There is still a team of people, then this mission will be stable."

"Yo, I kept you waiting." Liu Chen greeted.

"The time is just right, let's go." Li Tianxing waved his hand. This mission may take more than ten days, after all, the imperial merchants are moving very slowly.

At this time, an old man walked out from the imperial merchant, "This time the imperial merchant will rely on two flag leaders."

Although he was very polite, he obviously had some distrust towards Li Tianxing and Liu Chen. Whoever told these two people to be so young would feel uneasy.

"Needless to say, since we have accepted the mission, we will do our best to let you reach your destination safely." Liu Chen said confidently.

"Let's go!" Li Tianxing gave an order, and the emperor's merchants and soldiers started to move. The emperor's carriages were filled with valuables, and there were twenty carriages carrying the goods. In addition, two carriages belonged to the merchant's family. , a total of 22 carriages.

The entire team was in the shape of a long strip, and the soldiers spread out to surround the convoy, so that the thieves could defend wherever they attacked, while Li Tianxing and Liu Chen were in the middle of the imperial merchants. arrive.

As the team moved forward, it attracted the attention of many people. After all, the clothes of Tiance Mansion were easy to identify. Those who saw this posture knew that they were escorting goods.

As the entire team marched, the number of pedestrians and carriages on the road gradually decreased, the road gradually became desolate, and the sun had slowly set to the west.

The two carriages of the merchant's family chose the back of the convoy. Inside the carriage was a couple and a young girl. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and exuded an aura of rich people. Naturally, there would be a lot of money for doing business in Shendu. .

This group of couples looked a little unnatural, as if they were worried about something.

"Father, your complexion is not very good. Is there something wrong?" the girl asked worriedly.

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm just worried that the people from the Tiance Mansion are not strong enough this time."

"Yes, your father was worried about that, but it's okay, there are more than 20 people in Tiance Mansion, and the robbers can't do anything to us." The woman explained on the side.

"Is that so..." The girl didn't think much about it, so she didn't bother to ask.

In another carriage, a middle-aged man and a young man were secretly delighted.

"Father, if we succeed this time, we will definitely become rich overnight and gain a firm foothold in the capital of God!" the young man said excitedly.

"Yes, we can replace Lin Kunfeng's position in the capital of the gods and enjoy the glory and wealth!" The middle-aged man said with a dark side.

"Father, you must remember to save Lin Ling's life at that time, it would be a pity if she was killed directly!" The young man licked his lips with a lustful face.

"As long as the treasure is in hand, we can talk about anything, Ming Kong, don't forget our most important thing." Lin Feng said indifferently, as long as his son's lust doesn't delay the important matter, he doesn't bother to care about it.

"Then the people from Tiance Mansion this time..." Lin Mingkong said worriedly.

"No problem, that Lin Kunfeng was hiding his true feelings. He didn't invite a master. These two leading banners are not their opponents at all. It is not surprising that the two leading banners died outside while performing their missions."

Lin Feng looked at the carriage beside him, "Lin Kunfeng, Lin Kunfeng made you greedy, but this time gave me a good chance, hahaha..."

At this time, Li Tianxing and Liu Chen were completely unaware of the undercurrent, and the people of the Imperial Merchant were not single-minded...

The sun soon set, and the earth entered the night again. The soldiers all lit torches, so that the emperor could continue to move forward by the light.

Liu Chen glanced at Huangshang, the surrounding area was pitch black, only the shadow of the forest could be seen vaguely, and the moonlight was also very thin, "We will stop here today, take a rest first, and continue tomorrow."

"Alright."

Li Tianxing could tell that the grooms and soldiers were a little tired after a day, and the horses also needed to rest.

Although the current location of the imperial merchants is in the suburbs, they can still be stationed because they carry a lot of things, including things needed for camping in the wild.

Huang Shang stopped, approached the carriage, and began to camp on the same spot. The soldiers brought dry materials and started a fire, and then the flames illuminated Huang Shang.

"Hurry up and prepare food for the adults of Tiance Mansion!" Lin Kunfeng brought a few people to Liu Chen and Li Tianxing, "The emperor merchants are on their way, all they can take out is some dry food and fine wine, please bear with me. "

"It's okay, who are these?" Liu Chen, the employer of Lin Kunfeng's mission, has known him for a long time, but his family and his party did not know each other.

"This is my wife." Lin Kunfeng pointed to the noble lady beside him. "This is my cousin Lin Feng and his son Lin Mingkong. They will accompany us this time." Lin Kunfeng introduced Two people in another carriage.
