Chapter 14
Along the official road, people come to the station.

The name of the station is very interesting.Ordinary post stations are named according to the local place names, for example, the post station near Hanyang city is called Hanyang post station, and the post station in Liuxian County is called Liuxian post station.Of course, in a big city like Tianji City, if there is a station in the north and east of the city, they will be named Tianji City North Station and Tianji City East Station.

But the name of the place where this person came to the post station is quite special, not far to the west of the post station is Broken Soul Canyon.A good station, it can't be called the Broken Soul Station.In order to win the praise, this inn was named Renlai inn.

Broken Soul Canyon can be said to be the narrowest and most dangerous section of the entire Hanyan official road.It's not that someone deliberately built the official road here, but a mountain range stretching thousands of miles from north to south, which just cuts off the way to the west. This is the famous Qinggang Mountain Range on the mainland.

The Qinggang Mountains are so steep that even ordinary flying soul pets find it difficult to fly over them.On the west side of the mountains is the Tianji Plain, and on the east side of the mountains is the place where Wang Ze's caravan found Li Jin, called the Danjin Basin.

But in the middle of the mountain range, the Hanjiang River is like a sharp sword, piercing directly through the Qinggang Mountains, forming Duanhun Canyon, and the bottom of the valley is the fast-flowing Hanjiang River.

In the past, people on the east and west sides of Qinggang Mountain had to take the Hanjiang waterway if they wanted to get in and out.If people on the west side want to go to the east, they can go down the river. Experienced boatmen can carefully avoid shallow water reefs and turbulent eddies; but if they want to go west, they don’t have enough His water-type soul pet helped pull the boat over, that was undoubtedly a dream.There are steep cliffs on both sides, and below is the fast-flowing Hanjiang River, which is difficult for ghosts and gods to cross. I don’t know how many ships have encountered accidents here. There are no bones of people and boats, but it is a veritable Broken Soul Canyon.

Now, the number of pet masters is gradually decreasing, and the number of water-type soul pets is even smaller.However, the demand for trade between the east and west sides of the Qinggang Mountains is constantly increasing. The iron ore from the east can be bought to the west, and the income is at least ten times higher, and the precious medicinal materials from the west are transported to the east, and the same is true.

After the founding of the Hanyun Empire, the Taizu ordered to spend huge sums of money, and it took more than ten years to build a solid plank road along the steep walls on both sides of the canyon. Those who came out of the Danjin Basin in the east took the north plank road, and those who arrived in the east came. Those who enter the Tianji Plain in the west take the south plank road, and those who can reach the west go to the post station. This makes Han extend along the official road across the Qinggang Mountains and arrive at Tianji City, an important town in the northwest.

"Finally arrived at Renlai Station. Brothers, get ready to rest!" Wang Ze's caravan hurried on, and finally arrived at Renlai Station before dark.The second leader quickly greeted everyone in the caravan to prepare for dinner and rest, hehe, it seems that we can drink some good wine tonight and sleep well.

The horsemen and pawns of the caravan cheered. During the days of traveling, it is the most refreshing time to be able to rest comfortably in the post station for a night and cook inferior knives with big bowls of side dishes. .

"Master Yicheng!" The second head of the family couldn't help being surprised when he saw the person standing at the gate of the station.The daily affairs in the post station are handled by a special person, and the post station is an official directly responsible to the empire, so there is no need to do these welcoming and sending things on weekdays.The second head of the family also went out with his eldest brother before, and met this Yi Cheng once.

"Get out of the way! It's official business. Recently, people come to the post station and the No.11 Legion of the Empire is stationed. The idlers wait to avoid it!" The second master was just about to go up to say hello, but he was stopped by two guards holding guns up.Judging by its attire, it is the regular army of the Hanyun Empire.

"Master Yicheng! Yang Yicheng! I'm the second brother Liu of Huwei Commercial Bank. Last time, my elder brother and I toasted you with wine!" Seeing this, the second master directly shouted loudly.

"Huwei Trading Company?" Yang Yicheng frowned. There are countless small caravans of this size on the Hanyan official road, and there are not a few of them who get close to him when they find an opportunity. How can I remember this one in front of me? A rough guy with five big and three rough.

Don't look at Yicheng as a small official, but he is a fat and oily position on the official road. He is not so much an official as he has an official license to collect tolls and open a tavern as a sideline.

However, although this Yang Yicheng is a wild goose, he is also a fine man who pays attention to harmony and wealth.After you have a relationship behind you to help you get this seat, you still have to rely on your own means to secure this seat, right?I saw that Yang Yicheng rolled his eyes, and then he smiled and walked in front of the Erdangjia: "So it's Boss Liu, don't come here without any problems."

"Thanks to your old man." The second head of the family smiled heartily, and then asked in a low voice, "Master Yi Cheng, what is this?"

"It's not that group of bandits in the canyon, they have become more and more rampant recently. No, the empire sent troops to suppress the bandits, and now the station has been requisitioned by the army. I'm sorry, but I can only let you deal with it outside tonight .”

"Army suppressing bandits?" The second leader said goodbye to Yang Yicheng, turning his head and whispering to himself.When did the empire's army take care of these nosy things?You know, the world is so big, there are countless bandits, big and small, from all walks of life. Can he suppress this army?

"Second leader." At this time, Wang Ze came over and whispered to Liu Laoer, "I inquired about it, and said that the group of bandits in the canyon had a new boss, and they intercepted Master Chen of the imperial capital some time ago. A batch of goods. Master Chen was furious, so he sent an army to destroy this group of bandits."

"Master Chen? That's the one..."

"Hush—it's Mr. Chen. The second in charge, why do I feel a little happy..."

"Ahem!" The second leader looked around, dragged Wang Ze to the middle of his own caravan, and then continued, "Who says it's not! Chen Dan, the dog official, relied on his sister, Concubine Xuan, to dominate the harem, Forming cliques for personal gain, domineering, ruling out dissidents, and bullying men and women are things that no one can understand!"

"This bandit has stabbed a hornet's nest. I heard that their new boss is a powerful pet master, but the regular army of the empire has intervened. I'm afraid it's bad luck!"

"Well, let's not worry about this kind of thing, we are small. Tell the brothers to find a place, and let's make it tonight!"

"Sure, I'll arrange it now."

"Brother Wang, are you going to sleep in the wild?" Li Jin stood far away, seeing everything that happened at the gate of the post station.

"Well, something happened ahead, but everyone is going to be wronged to sleep out tonight." Wang Ze explained to Li Jin with a smile, while arranging for everyone to set up camp.

"It's okay. I'll help too." Li Jin smiled and helped move some tents out of the car.

"Hey, this is..." Li Jin walked aside, but stopped, staring at some small blue flowers in a forest beside the official road, motionless.

Li Jin approached those little flowers calmly, observed them carefully, and compared them with the pictures in his memory. He was overjoyed and began to pick these little blue flowers and secretly put them into his storage bag.

Ever since he had his own practice method and became a first-level pet master, Li Jin refined his storage bag according to the method described in the Wanhun Congealing Pearl Art, and recognized the master with a drop of blood.

This change in the storage bag surprised Li Jin.The storage bag can only be opened by one's own thoughts now, and no one else can use it anymore, and its storage space has suddenly increased to about ten cubic meters.The exquisite and beautiful appearance made Li Jin worry for a while, fearing that others would covet it, but the storage bag seemed to sense the owner's thoughts, and automatically changed back to its original appearance.

On the cliff to the north of Broken Soul Canyon, there is a naturally formed cave.

Originally, there were only some bats and other creatures in this cave.But one day, a group of mysterious bandits fell into the grass here.

Among this group of bandits, there seemed to be some master pet masters with flying soul pets, which allowed these bandits to move up and down between caves and plank roads, and their whereabouts were uncertain.

In the beginning, these bandits would appear from time to time, begging for some money from the passing caravans, and if anyone didn't want to pay the road money, a fight would be inevitable.

In the past, there were places where they jointly invested with some merchants who often went in and out of the canyon, and asked people to get rid of these bandits.It's a pity that bandits occupy all the advantages of the land, and with the help of imperial pet masters, the work of suppressing bandits naturally has little effect.

But recently, I heard that the boss of this group of bandits has changed.Since then, the taste of this group of bandits has become very savage, and they ignore ordinary small caravans, and only look for those caravans that are rich in oil and water. If they make a vote, they can rest for a month.

"The head of the house! Xiaosi has come back from Renlai Station!" In the cave, in the gathering hall of the bandits, a bandit leader led a young bandit and ran to the head of the tiger-skin shop. before.

The young bandit hurriedly punched the figure sitting on the main seat, and said out of breath, "Master, the inn is full of officers and soldiers. I only found out after I inquired that it was No. 11 of the Empire." The legion was ordered to destroy us!"

"Empire Jun?" On the main seat, the figure slowly stood up, and a sneer echoed throughout the cave, "Guan Gou is so handy!"

"Master, our village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter who or how many people come, I, Huang San, am not a vegetarian. I will definitely let them come and go!"

"There is no return! There is no return!" Countless bandits around echoed.

"Brothers, get ready for battle! Even if it is the regular army of the empire, as long as they dare to bully us, we have to show them some color!" The head of the family raised his long whip and walked to the center of the gathering hall.

"The head of the family is right, whoever wants to eat us, we will let him have his big teeth broken!"

"Listen to the boss! Life and death are insignificant, what the hell!"

"Fuck him!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey..." The shouts of all the bandits resounded through the cave.

The beating flames of the torches shone on the center of the Juyi Hall, where the leader was being supported by all the bandits.

I saw a young girl, under the flickering firelight, her exquisite facial features were just right on her small face, which looked so suitable and natural.

She was wearing a black mink cloak, with black feathers protruding from the collar in a fan shape.A python leather belt was tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist, making her whole person look uneven.

The girl let go of the long whip wrapped in her hand, and flicked a few whip flowers in the air.On the heroic face, there was a resolute expression, and there was a trace of inexplicable hatred.
