This hero will strike

Chapter 162
Huaye Canyon, a short-cut canyon connecting Shangye County and Huafeng County, runs north-south and is about a hundred miles long.

Among the dense forests, large areas of dense fog filled the air.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can only see the fog waves, slowly fluctuating, and the mist is transpiring and lingering.

On a section of the mountain road near Daping Town in the canyon, a group of people walked slowly.

Sitting on a yellow pussy horse as the leader is a handsome young man in black. He looks about 21 or [-] years old. His eyebrows are like sharp swords, and his eyes are full of vigilance, always paying attention. The surrounding forest is like a vigilant mountain wolf.

Behind the boy in black were five escort carts with reinforced iron bars. Each escort cart had a triangular flag with the word 'Qin' written on it, and the surface of the flag looked a little damp.

There is also a person riding on the horses in front of each escort cart, a total of five people.

And at the back of the escort car team was a slender young woman with a beautiful and refined face. She was riding a charcoal black horse, holding a long sword in one hand and pulling the rein in the other, with black leather on her wrists. The wrist guard looks quite capable.

This group of people is none other than Li Yu and his party from Qin's Escort Bureau.

After breakfast at the Pingbei Inn, they braved the morning fog and headed north.

The distance of two or three miles ahead is not bad. Although the mountain road is quite rugged, the field of vision is relatively wide, and you can see about 60 meters.

But as the convoy gradually deepened in the canyon, the fog on both sides of the canyon mountain road became more and more dense.

Especially since it was still early in the morning, the morning fog was very heavy, Li Yu's and his hair were faintly soaked in the fog and became a little wet.

Walking through the canyon is the fastest way. Otherwise, if you take the avenue, it will be relatively flat, but you will need to walk for about two days.

For Li Yu who was in a hurry, it was faster to cross the Huaye Canyon.

"The fog is very thick, everyone should be vigilant, and be careful that there are robbers shooting sniper arrows and setting up ambushes."

Li Yu raised his voice and shouted loudly in front.

In Huaye Canyon, there are usually fewer caravans. Although the road is relatively short, there are quite a few strong men ambushing in the canyon.

However, if you are lucky, you can also avoid robbers or lone travelers ambushing in the canyon.

After all, even if it is a gang of robbers, they don't stare at Huaye Canyon all the time. They also have time to have fun.

However, Li Yu didn't care too much about these, he was confident in defeating all the bandit gangs that came.

In addition to escorting the official silver, this trip has another important purpose, which is to spread the prestige of Qin's bodyguard bureau and establish its reputation in the world.

Killing the robbers is the easiest way.

If you encounter it, you will kill it mercilessly, and then it will spread naturally in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, ordinary escort agencies would not adopt this method. After all, the head escort of an ordinary escort agency was not at Li Yu's age, and his cards were not as rich as Li Yu's.

Li Yu dared to take such a direct method, relying on a lot of hole cards.

Whether it's the critical strike system, the Buddhist sect's Vajra Immortality, or the Yanying Sword, or Teng Qingshan's sense of a martial arts master, every hole card should not be underestimated.

Everyone was vigilant, and unknowingly moved forward for another half an hour.

"Everyone cheer up. It's only a hundred meters away from Black Snake Bend. This area is the most common place for bandits to ambush. Be careful."

Li Yu reined in the horse's head and raised his hand as a signal.

Among the hundreds of miles of mountain roads in Huaye Canyon, there are several places where crimes often occur, such as Black Snake Bend and Yingzui Ridge, etc., where robbers or gangs of gangsters often ambushes.When encountering an escort agency, they will also look at the number of opponents, and they will attack if they have an advantage in numbers. If they encounter a small group of businessmen, they will also attack.

In the hundreds of miles of mountain roads in the Huaye Canyon, even the government is not willing to sweep in depth easily.

Because there are robbers and gangsters in the government, the government has sent troops to encircle and suppress these robbers in the past, but every time they sent troops to Huaye Canyon, those robbers had already disappeared without a trace.

After repeated several times, the government's plan to send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits was shelved.

It's just that at the exit and entrance of Huaye Canyon, there are two reminder wooden signs on both sides, warning businessmen or people not to take risks easily.

It is a pity that the wooden warning signs at the entrances and exits are often demolished by robbers within two days after being erected...

In the end, the attitude of the nearby government was: silence.

"You move forward normally, I will take the first step to check the situation."

As Li Yu said, the whip in his hand was raised high, and he drove the yellow escort horse away at a fast gallop.

Da da, da da!
With the horseshoes galloping, Li Yu quickly distanced himself from the bodyguard team behind him, and moved forward quickly alone.

Even though the fog on both sides of the mountain road was thick and Li Yu's sight was greatly restricted, he could still see a range of three to four meters, and he recognized the topography of the ground immediately, and he had reached the Black Snake Bend area.

Black Snake Bend is a curved mountain road, shaped like a snake, with a length of about 400 meters.

After Li Yu entered the Black Snake Bend, he pulled the rein in his hand, stopped the galloping momentum of the yellow puma, and walked forward slowly.

The horse's hooves can be heard clearly when they land on the mountain.

Li Yu, on the other hand, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sides of the mountain road.

Since this Black Snake Bend is suitable for robbers to ambush, it can only be checked by yourself. After all, it is much more convenient if you are alone.If the escort car enters this area, whether it is retreating or advancing, I am afraid it will be greatly affected.

This is why Li Yu proposed to check the road conditions first.

The yellow dart horse was advancing slowly in the white mist, snorting occasionally, seeming a bit bored.

Li Yu frowned slightly, his face was tense, he looked around at the terrain, and pondered: "According to the description on the topographic map, this is the middle of Black Snake Bend."

The terrain in the middle of the Black Snake Bend is slightly sunken, and the terrain on the left, right, front and back is higher, forming a hinterland.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for bandit gangs to ambush.

"I hope the luck is not so bad. Besides, it's such a foggy day, and the mountain road is wet. The robbers probably don't like to go out." Li Yu prayed secretly, but kept listening to the surrounding movements with his ears.

"It seems that I am overthinking." After crossing the wide hinterland in the middle, Li Yu felt a lot more relaxed.

With his martial arts cultivation in the late stage of Qi Accumulation Realm, he has keen hearing, but he didn't hear the expected movement, and only the ordinary chirping of insects and birds echoed in his ears.

"The rest of the period after leaving can be determined."

Li Yu's expression was quite relaxed, and he slowly steered the yellow dart horse forward as usual.

"Martial arts mode!"

Suddenly, frowning slightly, Li Yu suddenly turned on the martial arts mode.

In the martial arts mode, with the blessing of six times the basic crit effect, Li Yu's martial arts cultivation has also increased accordingly, comparable to the perfection of the Iron Bone Realm.

In this state, Li Yu's sense of hearing has improved a lot.

With this promotion, the original relaxed look on Li Yu's face was instantly wiped away.

He heard low breathing sounds behind the forest in the dense fog.

Although these breathing sounds one after another were very subtle, Li Yu could still hear them.

"A lot, a lot of people! What's going on? How could there be so many robbers in ambush?"

Li Yu was full of doubts in his heart.

The larger the number of robbers ambushing, the more it can explain a problem, that is, this group of robbers came prepared, not a daily ambush.
