Chapter 69 Caravan
There are two mountains between Pingcheng and Tongqian City. One of them is said to have occupied a group of bandits before, but the government sent troops to wipe them out before his arrival.

Now there is only an empty mountain bag and a circle of dilapidated wooden villages.

Chen Yu didn't go this way, but chose another path.

The reason why he mentioned it was because he met a caravan who was also going to Pingcheng on the way across the mountains.

According to a middle-aged man among them, the caravan had encountered this group of bandits earlier.

Fortunately, there were guards accompanying them at that time, and the bright silver sword light scared the other party away. After all, they were just a group of ordinary people. Before Zhanshan became king, he might be a farmer somewhere.

Bullying and bullying ordinary passers-by is fine, but if you really encounter someone like them, you can only avoid them with your tail between your legs.

Don't dare to offend.

"Brother Chen has the courage to run alone in this barren mountain. I heard he is from Shiya County?"

"Exactly, but he doesn't have much courage. Pindao just relies on some superficial martial arts, and he is not afraid of the kind of bully and fearful thief that my brother said."

"Taoist?" The middle-aged man showed surprise, and then smiled even wider, saying that his mother believed it.

As for the shallowness of martial arts, he took it as the humility of the young man in front of him.

A young Taoist priest who walks hundreds of miles alone, especially in this increasingly chaotic world.If there is no adulteration in the words, then the level of martial arts will definitely not be low, at least not as shallow as the other party said.

In fact, Chen Yu was not modest. He really felt that his martial arts were too shallow, and he probably would have fought against third-rate martial arts in the arena.

Of course, now that you have the technique of sound attack, you may be able to improve a little bit, and the sky is only at the end of the second-rate.Far better than the old Taoist priest.

The middle-aged man didn't know what Chen Yu was thinking, he was inviting Chen Yu to go with him.Both parties are going to Pingcheng, and it will undoubtedly be much more convenient and safer if they follow the team.

There can also be a support for each other.

The other party was really good at talking, and he seemed completely unsuspecting, with a square face and a bold demeanor, which easily made the travelers feel good about him.

Chen Yu didn't shirk.He glanced at it before, and there were men and women, old and young, in the caravan, and the carriages were even more crowded, with piles of fur goods, not bandits dressed up as bandits.

"Hahaha, with the help of the leader of the trail, the journey is a little less dangerous!"

Seeing that Chen Yu agreed, the middle-aged man laughed out loud, and his words were not without compliments.

"I'm joking, I should thank the caravan for taking care of me."

Who takes care of whom... This is a matter of opinion.

He had seen the entire team, and the guards on several carriages were all armed with force, and their temples were bulging high, which was a characteristic of strength drilled to the bone.

As for the middle-aged elder brother next to him, although his feet seem to be scrambling and his waist has floating flesh, he doesn't look like Lian Jiazi.But Chen Yu had keen eyesight and noticed the thick layer of calluses on the opponent's hands, especially on the index finger and thumb. The calluses were so thick that they were almost covered with pulp.

It is estimated that he is good at martial arts such as claws and fingers.

The strength is not weak, driving the spirit to test, you can vaguely feel the slightest needle light on the face, and the blood is vigorous.

Guarantee the strength of the bottom, but I don't know if Xiaocheng has it.

Chen Yu glanced at it, and felt that it was very likely that he had mastered Rou Jin, otherwise he would not be able to run a business in this chaotic world until now.

On the side, the old man was still eloquent, talking non-stop, talking about the past glory of the caravan.

In fact, the other party did have a lot of knowledge. According to him, the caravan was created by his father and later handed over to him.After more than ten years of travelling, Yunzhou, Baizhou, Leyanzhou and other places in the seven southwestern states are very familiar. As for the Xizhou under his feet, he has traveled all over the place.

For such words, Chen Yu's left ear went in and his right ear came out, because it had nothing to do with him.

The other party's eyesight is not bad, and perhaps he has seen something from him. He wants to recruit, but he obviously won't stay in this caravan.

But what is certain is that the caravan has indeed traveled to many places in the past.After chatting with him, he learned a lot of new things about the situation in Pingcheng and the surrounding prefectures.

……

It's night again.

As it approached Fuzhi, the official road became open and flat, not as cramped and dilapidated as Chen Yu saw when he passed by Chenzhong County.

"Just make do with the night here tonight."

A group of people came to a location about two miles outside the official road, where a Town God's Temple was erected, which was probably built by the people of the nearby villages. Not only were there statues of the Town God, but wooden tables and tribute bowls were also placed.

The bowl was empty and covered with cobwebs.

"This place was built in the Shilan Village next door. It was originally dedicated to the Hundred-Mused God. Later, Emperor Wu introduced a lot of wild prostitutes, and this place was also changed into the Town God's Temple."

The old man named Liu Mu pointed to the temple in front of him, which was much taller and wider than the ordinary Chenghuang Temple.

Chen Yu nodded, saying that he had seen a lot of Town God's Temple in his memory, but the building in front of him was indeed a bit too much. At this time, after listening to Brother Liu's explanation, he realized that the original enshrined owner had long been overthrown.

"Row."

He responded, and then prepared for the night's stay with the rest of the people, mainly collecting firewood and spraying medicinal powder to repel insects.

In fact, this place is only more than ten miles away from Pingcheng, and it can be reached after a short journey.

But Pingcheng is not Tongqian, there is a curfew, and when the time comes to Xu, the city gate will be lowered and closed to prevent entry and exit.

At this moment, if I rush to go again, I will probably have to drink the cool breeze outside the city overnight. After thinking about it, I found such a place to rest and recuperate.

After working for a while, everything is in order.

Everyone lit a bonfire, fell asleep and rested.

Outside the temple, there are caravan guards patrolling each other in groups of two and three.And Chen Yu slept in the corner on the right side of the Town God's Temple, and the innermost position was given to the female relatives in the caravan.

That old brother Liu was also stuck at the threshold, snoring wrapped in some kind of fur.

Everyone slept soundly.

Until a certain moment, an exclamation came from outside the temple, waking up everyone, and Chen Yu was the first to get up.But the first one to rush out of the temple gate was Brother Liu.

I saw him grabbing the waist knife, and slashing vertically twice in the air, making a shrill whining wind sound.

His face was flushed, and he strode out, muttering and cursing.

Chen Yu, who was standing on one side, thought that this person must have been ignited when he got up, and he was probably burning with anger at this time.

When I went out to see it, as expected, seven or eight skinny guys in common clothes fell to the ground, groaning non-stop.

The two patrolling guards supported each other with wounds on their bodies.

"Scream! Shout out!"

clang!
The back of the knife hit the stone, making the bandit who was crying against the soil turn pale, and he didn't dare to scream anymore, sobbing for a while.

"Xiao Daochang, these guys are here to rob, and they are bandits in the name of Jiulongzhai in the neighboring county."

"Don't piss and take care of your own virtue."

When Chen Yu approached, several thieves had been subdued to the ground, and two of them were silent, but this is not worthy of sympathy. Since we have gone this way, we have to think of such a day.

Afterwards, they found out that the people were not from the so-called Kowloon Walled Village at all, but from a village called Fengquan on the other side of the mountain.

All are farmers.

This year, there was a bandit disaster, and the grain harvest was low, so I didn't know which tendon was wrong, so I took an iron hoe and wooden stick to do road robbery.

In order to be able to meet with fellow villagers in the village in the future, a few people did not loot on the spot, but came to the official road, where there are many pedestrians, and there are many merchants and wealthy households.

"Big eyes and a small belly, who can you beat with that broken hoe?!"

Brother Liu who was awakened was still swearing, but Chen Yu saw that the matter was over, so he returned to the Town God's Temple again, closed his eyes and rested.

I can't sleep anymore, so I might as well sharpen my mental strength.
