Chapter 71: escort

let's go!

Da Da Da, the carts full of grain formed a long dragon, and slowly drove away from Cangtong Town.

The number of grain carriages exceeds a thousand, and the scale of the long dragon can be imagined, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.

With such a huge grain transport team, it is impossible to go very fast even if there are horses pulling the cart.

"From Cangtong Town to Shangyang City, the shortest road is 1,500 miles away."

"If the road conditions are good, we can walk more than 100 miles a day, at most 150 miles.

But if we have a rainy day and the road is muddy, it would be good to be able to walk fifty miles a day. "

The two high-headed horses walking at the forefront were Old Man Zheng and Dian Wei.

Song Jincheng was at the end of the team and was in charge of the rear.

Old Man Zheng babbled and sighed:

"A few times, the road we passed had collapsed, the road was blocked, and there was only one road, there was no way to detour, so we had to bite the bullet and clean it up, but it took more than a month to clear the road. By the time the food was delivered to Shangyang City, most of the food had already gone moldy.

In addition, we have also encountered floods, mudslides, or bridges that we must pass through, and we have to stop to build roads and build bridges, or simply take a long way. Delays for ten days and a half months are considered good. "

Dian Wei listened carefully.

But these are not his main concerns.

I still remember that the last time Old Man Zheng was escorting food, he was attacked. Not to mention being injured, the food was also destroyed. Even Li Kuo, Wei Xiuzhi and other apprentices lost their lives to enter.

Dian Weiluomo asked, "Mr. Zheng, which part of the way is the most dangerous?"

Old Man Zheng replied: "This large area is actually the territory of the Shangyang family. That is to say, if we follow the established route and don't leave the territory, we are unlikely to encounter danger."

Dian Wei said in surprise, "Could we go out?"

Old Man Zheng nodded: "It's mainly to see how the road is. If this road doesn't work and there's nothing you can do, then you have to detour.

And once it deviates from the established route, it is possible to go out of the territory and enter some dangerous areas. "

Dian Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this dangerous area?"

Old Man Zheng pondered: "It may be the hunting ground of a powerful demon, it may be the territory of a vicious beast, it may be a powerful gang of bandits, etc. In short, the danger we face is nothing more than Humans, demons, and beasts."

Speaking of this, Old Man Zheng thought of something, looked at Dian Wei, lowered his voice and said, "Of course, you may encounter 'abnormalities', so be careful on your way."

This sentence made Dian Wei's heart shudder.

Old Man Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "Oh right, there is a potential danger, and that is the hostile forces of the Shangyang family!

If they are determined to attack us, they will most likely set up an ambush on the road.

The last time we were attacked, we were ambushed by a certain hostile force, and the food was set on fire.

Alas, no one has yet found out who did it. "

Dian Wei understood.

Escorting food is really not easy.

Along the way, not only may you encounter bad weather, but you may also encounter various dangers.

By noon.

The **** dragon stopped to rest for a stick of incense, and let the **** workers eat the dry food they brought and drink some water.

Dian Wei, Old Man Zheng and the others had already eaten the cooked and air-dried exotic animal meat prepared in the morning. They don't need to eat for a day, just drink some water.

After lunch, the team immediately set off.

until dark.

The team stopped, set up camp, and slept in the wild.

"The first day's journey was not bad, I walked about 120 miles." Old Man Zheng pointed and said with a smile.

Dian Wei didn't know how this sense of distance was calculated. Anyway, he was already confused, and he didn't know how far he had traveled that day.

The escorts have eaten and slept next to each other.

Dian Wei and the others belonged to bodyguards, and they were responsible for patrolling back and forth and working night shifts.

They are divided into two teams, one team is on duty in the middle of the night, and the other team is responsible for the second half of the night.

Old Man Zheng and Dian Wei didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Song Jincheng and the others took turns, and he fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, the sky was still bright, everyone got up, ate breakfast hastily, and started to hurry.

cycle like this.

There was nothing wrong all the way.

On the eleventh day, people suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Old Man Zheng patted the horse's **** and said, "The front is the 'Sanchakou'. This is our supply station. You can stay in the inn, take a shower, and have a good sleep."

Dian Wei looked up and found a small town at the end of the road. Although it was not as small as Cangtong Town, it also had high-rise streets and people came and went.

Old Man Zheng introduced:

"This three-way intersection is located at the intersection of three major roads, one road leads to the north, the other road leads to the east, and the road under our feet, there are a total of three roads, a major traffic road!

In the past, there was only one post station here, and it was very simple, but then there were too many people in the past, and it gradually expanded into a town. The Shangyang family also attached great importance to this place, and there were as many as two instructors sent to guard the place. "

During the conversation ~www.readwn.com~ the **** dragon came outside the town.

Someone had already run to inform the two instructors guarding the place, and the two quickly came to greet him.

These two people, one is a white-clothed scholar holding an iron fan, with a smile on his face, and the other is an old woman with white hair, holding a snake-headed staff, his face is cold and expressionless.

Old Man Zheng cupped his hands and said to the white-haired old woman, "Mother Yun, are you in good health?"

The white-haired old woman showed a slight smile. She had no teeth in her mouth, pursed her mouth inward, and said vaguely, "I am very well, and I won't die for the time being, but you were injured in the last attack. How is your health?"

Old Man Zheng continued: "My life is tough, and it's almost better."

The white-haired old woman nodded: "It seems that the mountain-moving exercise is also unique in terms of self-healing."

Old Man Zheng turned to look at the white-clothed scholar: "Who is this?"

The white-haired old woman introduced: "His name is Qi Lian, the new teacher."

Qi Lian, the scholar in white, bowed his hands unhurriedly, politely.

After meeting each other, Old Man Zheng said in surprise, "Where's the former teacher Wang?"

The white-haired old woman said in a muffled voice, "Dead."

She also didn't say how the man died, as if these details were not worth mentioning.

Old Man Zheng sighed: "That teacher Wang Gudao is warm-hearted, and he is a hero."

The white-haired old woman hummed: "He is a good person, but unfortunately, since he could see the 'abnormal', the whole person gradually went crazy. Alas, who would have thought that a teacher in Tangtang would end up wiping his neck by himself. ."

As soon as the words came out!

Dian Wei tightened his body and looked deeply at the white-haired old woman.

Qi Lian, the scholar in white, seemed to have noticed Dian Wei's reaction, and gave him another look.
