It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 248

In the northwest grassland, a caravan came from afar.

Camels are in a row, pulling silk, tea, and china. They set out from the empire, traveled through the hills, grasslands, and Gobi to the far west country. On the way, you may encounter horse bandits, storms, and officers and soldiers to eat and take cards.

This is a life-and-death business road, and of course, the rewards are quite rich, and it is worth taking the risk.

The caravan was headed by the Lan's businessman, and some other merchants joined. Although this road is full of dangers, everyone still has some confidence to follow the Lan Corporation.

The Lan's Firm has been running this trade route for many years, and the family has raised many experts. This time, three hundred warriors were used to escort them. What's more, the leader of the team this time was Lan Qingting, the eldest lady of the Lan's Firm.

Lan Qingting's mother was a woman from the Western Regions. The big boss of Lan's firm had her in a romantic affair. Later, because she was born with green eyes, she was regarded as a demon by the family, and she was almost thrown into a pond at the age of five.

But as she grew up, she became more and more hideous, and she could accompany the warrior man at home to drink and drink meat. The caravan that accompanied her went smoothly every time, so the demon girl became a saint. By the time she was 20 years old, her biological father had already admitted that she was the eldest lady of the Lan family.

At this moment, she is riding in front of the team, and everyone is looking at her. To a certain extent, she is the spiritual support of everyone. She is dressed in black and has a black cloth on her face. It is said that she was burned by fire when she was a child, and her face was extremely ugly, so she always covered her face with black gauze.

"Miss, it's getting dark, can we find a place to rest?" a man said.

Lan Qingting shook her head: "Going all night, there are bandits infested here, and you can't stay for a moment. The sooner you pass, the better."

"Don't camp?" The man was startled: "But we've been gone for a day."

"Well, I have to cross this grassland in three days, when to cross, and when to rest."

"Three days?"

Biji opened his eyes wide and finally shook his head helplessly. After all, it was his first time accompanying him, and he still didn't know Miss Lan's style. Lan Qingting's style is just one word: fast!

Going forward at the fastest speed, without sleep, through the bounds where the bandits are haunted, the bandits haven't figured it out yet, Miss Lan has disappeared with her.

"Miss, ma'am."

The spy in front drove back with a horrified expression on his face.

"Come and see, ahead!"

"What happened in front?" Lan Qingting frowned. This person is an old friend of the family. How many times he has been born and died, he has never been as frightened as today.

"You... come and see..."

In fact, after crossing the hillside in front, you can see that it is Lan Qingting, and there is also cold fear in her green eyes.

Dozens of corpses were scattered under the hillside. Their limbs were cut off, and their lungs flowed outside. Now the corpses were decomposed, flies buzzed around the corpses, and several jackals were swallowing the corpses.

"They are a caravan like us. This is because they encountered horse bandits." Someone said in horror, as if the corpse under the hillside had become himself.

"Come on!

Lan Qingting was startled, there must be horse bandits in here, even nearby, you must leave as soon as possible, just hope to get rid of it.

It happened that night.

There were a few people in the distance behind the caravan. They lit torches and seemed not afraid of being discovered, but they didn't attack, they just followed slowly.

It is said that when the wolves on the prairie find the yellow sheep, they will not attack immediately, but will just follow. When the wolves gathered more and more, they didn't rush in until the wolf king appeared. At this time, the flock would only kneel on the ground and tremble because of fear.

There are more and more torches behind the caravan, and they cannot be seen during the day, but at night, the torches will appear as scheduled. Fear spreads in the team, and everyone is in a state of panic.

until that night.

"Miss, let me take a group of people to see it." Bige said, "Let's see which way they are."

"Well, be careful, don't do it if you can."

Bige passed with a group of people, all of whom were good players in the group. Lan Qingting waited in place, looking at the direction in which the torches were lit in the distance.

She didn't know how Biggie would deal with this matter. If the other party could talk, she could leave a piece of property, or pay them a protection fee every time she passed by.

Businessmen seek profit, and everything is based on profit.

Only this group of horse bandits is not the same group of people.

Time passed bit by bit, but Big Ji hadn't come back yet. The torches in the distance were swaying, and I didn't know what happened.

Just at this moment, the rapid sound of hoofs sounded, and I saw Bige galloping on his horse.

Lan Qingting was shocked: "Bi Ji, what's the situation, why are you the only one back."

"Miss, it's them..."

Biggi let out a roar, as if he had encountered the devil in hell. Lan Qingting was shocked to find that his limbs began to spread out, and his limbs and torso were separated. Only now did Lan Qingting realize that Bi Ji was tied to a horse today, and his limbs had already been severed and entangled with ropes.

An arrow came out of Bige's throat, and as his body fell to the ground, a heavy hoof sounded behind him, and hundreds of horses emerged from the darkness.

The torches in the distance were still swaying, but the horse bandits were already in front of them, and they could clearly see the swords they raised.

The screams sounded, and people fled in all directions, shouting: It's them, it's them...

them? Border town ghosts see sorrow.

Gui Jianchou squatted on the grassland and robbed the passing merchants. The men were killed on the spot, and the women were robbed back. It is said that when it was cold, they would make the men into jerky.

No one wants to encounter ghosts and sorrows, because they are force majeure like earthquakes, storms, and tsunamis.

The killing began at night and ended at dawn. Under the pale sky, one after another corpses fell to the ground, and the blood gave off a pungent stench.

Under the escort of her men, Lan Qingting escaped on a fast horse. The bandits behind her chased after him, shooting arrows from behind like a joke. With the sound of breaking the air, Lan Qingting fell down one by one.

In the end, only herself was left, and the horse bandits behind her were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, as soon as he got off the horse, he fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and Lan Qingting was also thrown to the ground.

She raised her head and found a person standing in front of her, with dark eyes and a white robe.

"Save me, save me!" Lan Qingting begged immediately, suddenly remembering that there was only one person on the other side, but it was just a dead soul under the knife of a horse bandit: "Go away, go away..."

The man didn't respond and stretched out his hand to take off the black veil on her face. At that moment, Lan Qingting forgot to stop her.

The black veil peeled off, revealing a cheek that could be called perfect.

"You are so pretty."
