Under the bright sunshine, the wheels rolled forward on the road, and accompanied by the sound of intensive horse hooves, the entire convoy galloped all the way forward, like a long snake winding rapidly in the mountain forest. It swam in a meandering motion and kicked up waves of thick fog and dust.
As Luo San and Yang Hu left the luxury carriage and mounted their horses again, the huge convoy that originally resembled a long snake gradually turned into three shorter snakes, lined up on the wide avenue, still The border troops and barbarian troops were in the front, the government troops were behind, and the fourth guard battalion protected the left and right side of the convoy. As for those riding horses and spirit cavalry, they formed different teams or combinations.
This series of changes caused the voices of the entire convoy to gradually subside, and everyone began to feel the aura of an approaching storm. Although the sun in the sky was still so fierce, even though most of them were In the eyes, the strength of their team is obviously more powerful - just now, the main topic of their heated discussion was undoubtedly the three hundred newly joined barbarian warriors in front! !
However, as time goes by, the scenery of the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue is becoming more and more different from the scenery along the road that they passed not long ago. In the eyes of everyone, the mountains and forests in this area appear to be increasingly dense and primitive. It¡¯s getting weirder and weirder, and from time to time there are weird beast roars and tiger roars coming from the mountains and forests, which seem to remind passers-by where exactly this place is!
In fact, these endless deep mountains and wild forests can be regarded as the peripheral mountains of the Dragon Demon Mountain Range. Countless monsters, ferocious beasts and ferocious beasts live in them. However, precisely because they are only "peripheral", the entire Baiman Mountains The monsters are mainly middle and low-level, and monsters of high level and above rarely appear. Therefore, for the powerful Southern Barbarians, these countless monsters are not a big threat. Instead, they become a threat to them. The main prey for survival.
For the bandit forces who dominate the mountains, this principle is the same. The large number of monsters are also the prey that they rely on for survival. Moreover, they are also a big helper for them to avoid the army's encirclement and suppression, allowing them to be elusive. They plundered everywhere, and after they were done, they went into the mountains. It was really difficult to chase them.
At the same time, this southwest land has many mountains, dense forests, deep ridges and vast fields, with continuous high mountains and dense primeval forests. Moreover, there are countless strange caves created due to the limestone terrain. It is the most suitable place for bandit forces to occupy and hide. It is easy to find a naturally dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Like all the Southern Barbarian tribes, they build strongholds and defend according to danger. This has always been a disaster area where bandits are rampant. In the past few years, the situation has changed. It's even more serious.
At this moment, in Li Yuanyan's hands, she held a piece of information and detailed information about the bandit forces along Baiyin Avenue. Part of it was specially marked with a red line to identify the bandits who were most likely to participate in this operation. The forces and main forces were all marked out, and the weird names that represented a certain bandit force, and the vicious nicknames and names that represented a certain bandit leader, seemed to be giving her a ferocious smile. Her brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the pressure in her heart increased. Meanwhile, the seven young maids and Azi in the carriage, as well as the beautiful middle-aged woman Li Ruolan, all had frowning faces and were fidgeting. He hesitated to speak.
They had heard the discussion just now and naturally knew what dangers their convoy was facing. What would be waiting for them on the road ahead, and it wouldn't be too long. Because, for this convoy, a journey of seventy or eighty miles only takes an hour or two. Soon, they will reach the "Flying Eagle Stream" which is very famous in the southwest region.
Named "Jian", this Feiying Jian is actually a canyon passage that is more than ten miles long. However, it got its name because there are a large number of streams, lakes, and many birds and monsters living in groups nearby. Moreover, the terrain is very special. , there are many allusions behind it, and it is difficult to explain clearly at the moment. But at this moment, this long canyon channel is like another long snake, opening its bloody mouth in the sun, waiting for the automatic delivery of prey. Come to your door
Sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come. For Li Yuanyan, her return home this time is undoubtedly this time. Moreover, at this time, the entire team has already reached this position, even if Even if you want to go back, I'm afraid it's impossible. Then, the only thing you can do is to keep moving forward, even if you know that there is a big trap waiting for you ahead! !
The more you understand about this trap, the more terrifying it becomes. From the information that you know so far, combined with your own guesses and judgments, Li Yuanyan has temporarily obtained four traps that make her have to be frightened.??Conclusion: First, threaten the Baishan tribe, second, block the two battalions of border troops, and third, besiege the Luofu convoy. This is something that requires at least four powerful people in the Wuji realm to do it! !
In fact, it is difficult to deal with a lineup like the Luofu Racing Team, but it is simple. It is really simple. Just come to a powerful person in the Wuji Realm. That is enough. Don¡¯t look at the people in this team. There are so many people, and there are so many high-level martial arts masters, dragon and tiger martial arts masters, and even quasi-martial arts masters and Shenhai Grand Masters. However, it only takes one strong man with infinite cultivation level to easily kill the entire convoy. There are more than a thousand people, and the possibility of escaping is not high.
However, this situation is unlikely to happen. So, assuming that a powerful person from the Wuji realm will not appear directly this time, if you want to deal with the Luofu convoy, you will undoubtedly need to unite all the bandit forces in the mountains and forests around Baiyin Avenue. Get up, and with the cooperation of several Shenhai Realm martial arts masters, set up an ambush to attack the Luo Mansion convoy, and collide with each other, it is still possible to succeed, and this is the most likely scenario, because, for Luo Mansion, I am afraid that no bandit force will be unmoved by such a big fat sheep like the Mansion Team, but they just dare not take action. Once a very powerful powerful being takes the initiative to call them together, there will be an alliance or something. , it¡¯s a done deal.
After an in-depth discussion, Lin Zhong, Yang Hu, Luo San and Di Nu, four strong men with completely different backgrounds and experiences, all recognized this inference and understood what they would face next. No matter how hard and fierce the battle, they will not back down because of this. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. This is their attitude, and it is also their mission and responsibility. Just as Lin Zhong said to Li Yuanyan after the discussion. He said: "Princess, don't worry, even if you risk your cultivation and your life, my servant will protect you and the young master."
When there were no outsiders, when facing Li Yuanyan, Lin Zhong, the great master of the Divine Sea Realm, called himself an old servant and called Li Yuanyan the princess instead of his wife or the county owner. Obviously, there must be an allusion behind this, and This allusion involves why a great master in the Divine Sea Realm was willing to become an ordinary nurse in the Luo Mansion and personally protect the mother and son Li Yuanyan and Luo Qi.
Except for Lin Zhong who was still sitting on the carriage shaft, the other three people all left the carriage and went about their business. Among them, Di Nu, who was wearing black armor, walked on the road again after leaving the carriage, his feet Stepping on the ground and monitoring all movements within a hundred miles, it is basically impossible to ambush the Luofu convoy without telling him, unless a person with great supernatural powers in the Yuan Shen realm uses Taoism or formation to ambush a large number of people. All the robbers were hiding, so it was possible to hide from his perception, but in this case, why bother to ambush? A great supernatural power user in the Yuanshen realm can crush the entire Luofu convoy into ashes with just a move of his fingers.
However, just as it is unlikely that a powerful person in the Wuji Realm will directly attack the Luofu convoy, a powerful person in the Yuanshen Realm will not dare to attack ordinary people. There are naturally many factors involved, but The two most important points are: first, the existence of natural disaster, and second, the revenge of the Great Xia Empire! !
The former is a heavenly tribulation. Needless to say, this point goes without saying. Whether it is a powerful person in the Wuji realm who regards transcending life and death as his lifelong goal, or a tribulation immortal in the Yuanshen realm who has passed through a level of heavenly tribulation, or a demon king or a great witch. Yes, I am afraid that not many people dare to say that they are not afraid of the heavenly tribulation, and overcoming the tribulation is a matter of narrow escape and death. If you have to face the doubled power of the heavenly tribulation, it will be a lifeless death, your soul will be scattered, and you may not even be reincarnated. There is no chance - this is that the stronger the strength, the stronger the constraints of heaven.
For the latter, any attack on the Daxia border troops or Daxia nobles will be regarded as provoking the entire Daxia Empire. No matter who they are or how powerful they are, no one can escape responsibility. Even destroying corpses and eradicating traces will be useless. , even if you can escape for a while, you will not be able to escape for the rest of your life. Just wait for the strong men of the Great Xia Empire to come and question you in person - you will be punished even if you escape to the ends of the earth! !
This is the most basic bottom line. No strong man dares to cross the threshold. This is the supreme national prestige established by the Daxia Empire in the past three hundred years. If you really think that you are invincible and can do whatever you want, Daxia The Xia court and the Qin royal family don't even have to do it themselves. As long as a decree is transmitted to the major holy places, when the time comes, the world's best divine monks, the Longhu Taoist, the Baimei Taoist, and Qingcheng Lei Zun, all of them are "making a living" in the Central Plains. "There are powerful beings who may take action personally - which one do you want to choose as your opponent?" The choice is yours! !
Therefore, on this basis, it is difficult for Li Yuanyan and Lin Zhong to believe that there will be any problems with the 3,000 border troops stationed in the military camps on both sides of Feiying Stream. The existence of these two camps of Daxia border troops, This was one of the main reasons why Li Yuanyan decided to take this trip four days ago. However, after Li Yuantuomu's hint, even though it was hard to believe the result, theyWe still have to prepare for the worst, and if we want the Luofu convoy to lose the support of the two frontier armies, we do not necessarily have to eliminate these two frontier armies. There are more than one ways to achieve the same effect, among which Of course, what chills Li Yuanyan the most is some people who should never "betray" her.
In fact, this time, there are many stories behind the reason why Li Yuanyan took her son with her to escort this important batch of goods that took 49 large carriages to transport. When she was forced to When she made her choice, she had already realized how dangerous her situation was. The enemy hiding in the dark had terrible calculations, one after another, until she realized that she had almost no second chance. When she made a choice, she connected everything together and discovered the real danger. Then she urgently sent a message to Yang Hu and asked him to come over overnight, and then hit the road the next day.
Yang Hu was the only quasi-Wuzong that Li Yuanyan could directly call to protect him in this situation. There were stronger ones, and they were in Baizu City. However, they were trapped and couldn't separate themselves, or in other words, they couldn't. He can't leave Baizu City. This is naturally one of the secret hands behind the scenes and is almost impossible to crack. This fact directly caused Li Yuanyan to lose a powerful Shenhai Grandmaster as an accompanying escort, and once again reduced her choices by one. ! !
Secondly, he had to go on the road the next day. Obviously, this was forced because Li Yuanyan could not delay. This batch of goods was very important. They were all "military supplies". They were not only of high value, but also related to the court's accountability. , the issue of military accountability and high compensation, because these are goods jointly ordered by the Donghai Qinglong Legion and the Donghai Town official, and she must hand them over to the military representatives from Kanto within a limited time.
If this batch of goods were not so important, Li Yuanyan would never have taken her son with her to escort her. She would have taken her son to stay in Baizu City under the protection of more than a dozen strong men, or she would have ridden directly. Stepping on the flames to chase the cloud beast, she rushed back to Yinzhou Mansion within half a day. She could even choose to continue to summon more dragon and tiger martial arts masters like she summoned helpers like Yang Hu, and even find ways to find a few gods. Grandmaster Hai will act as a temporary guard before setting out on the road.
Yes, there are many choices. There is absolutely no need for Li Yuanyan to put herself and her son in the danger of traveling thousands of miles home. She even does not need to take this business. But the problem is, the middleman of this business is The person is actually the Li family in Qingzhou, that is, Li Yuanyan¡¯s natal family and a member of Tang Guogong Li¡¯s family. What¡¯s even more coincidental is that this person is an old man she knew in the past, and there is another person who once took care of her. She is an old servant of the Li Family County Lord. This is unmistakable. Otherwise, she may not agree to this big deal with the East China Sea Regiment as the buyer.
At the same time, another key factor is that the military representatives of the Eastern Navy Regiment also brought two documents from the Great Xia court and the Qin royal family. One is to prove the importance of this medicinal material and elixir business. , "I hope" that Li Yuanyan, the consulting noble, and the goddess of wealth will cooperate "as much as possible". Although it is not a mandatory "requirement" in terms of words and tone, Li Yuanyan can choose to refuse, but the consequences of refusal are a bit serious. Well, even she is a little unable to bear the serious cost of this decision that is likely to offend the Eastern Navy Regiment, the Daxia Court and the Qin Royal Family at the same time. Moreover, she doesn¡¯t know which related people will be offended behind the scenes. Big shot.
Finally, there is another very important factor, that is, Li Yuanyan found that she could not find a suitable reason to refuse. This big deal involved three major medicinal materials. She really wanted to find someone who monopolized the medicinal materials industry in Baizu City. The Luo Family and Fu Qiji are good, and this is not the first time Li Yuanyan has done similar business with the court and the military. What's more, the Donghai Regiment has also given extremely generous conditions, and the profit from this business is extremely high. Gao, even gave her an item that she couldn't refuse, a spiritual object that was of great help to her son's body! !
So, under these various factors, it was almost inevitable that Li Yuanyan took over this business and signed the sales contract. Once there was a breach of contract and the goods were not delivered on time, the liquidated damages alone would be an astronomical figure. Although It will not make Fuqiji go bankrupt, but it will still be a strain. It is easy for financial problems to arise and competitors will seize the opportunity to severely damage and suppress Fuqiji and Xuanqi Commercial Bank. "With the negative effects of Fuqiji and Xuanqi Trading Company, most of the merchants whose interests were harmed dared not speak out. But once there is an opportunity, even cats and dogs may dare to jump out. Making trouble
Of course, Li Yuanyan has always been wary of this situation and carefully avoided related problems, so that her dependence on funds is not actually very serious. It is impossible to use this to attack her. Therefore, compared with What made her pay more attention to the compensation was that this was a military transaction, and it would never be just?For something as simple as compensation for liquidated damages, punishment from the court is the most serious.
It is true that after the deaths of Luo Qinghao and Luo Dingqi, the court gave many rewards and honors, and Li Yuanyan also became a council noble with the same prince. However, to say that no one in the court or the Qin royal family was dissatisfied with or had any intentions towards her, This is absolutely impossible. Whether it is Fuqiji and Xuanqi Trading Company, or numerous high-end elixirs and mysterious alchemy masters, it is enough to make many people's hearts move and turn them into actions. Otherwise, this time's trap will not be possible. Let Li Yuanyan reach the situation in front of her step by step. She would never believe that there were no big figures in the imperial court or some royal members of the Qin family hiding behind this. Moreover, she was not even interested in guessing who it was. There were really too many suspects, and it was impossible to guess. What chilled her the most was that even the Qingzhou Li family was involved
