C663 Blocking the Road
C663 Blocking the Road
As she said this, her hands were not idle. She hurriedly took out the water bottle and pulled out the stopper, handing it in through the carriage's curtain.
Gudong gudong. Then, she heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
Then, there was another chewing sound.
Suddenly, the lady in the carriage said, "Why is this meat pie cold? And it's so dirty, so annoying!"
The servant girl secretly covered her mouth and smiled.
She thought to herself that her young miss seemed to have eaten her fill.
But she could not refuse and hurriedly said, "They are all big and thick. The meat patty was hidden in the saddle by them. If not for this servant's sharp eyes, they would have really hidden it."
"Humph! You can't get food from food or drink. You are actually more capable than others, hmph!"
After muttering a few words, the young miss could not help but ask, "When can we reach the relay station?"
"They said there's still a long way to go."
"Sigh..."
He sighed powerlessly and stomped his foot.
However, in the end, he could only do nothing about it.
The maid could not hold back her laughter.
She turned around and jumped onto the carriage.
Her movements were light.
Sitting at the front of the carriage, he rubbed the butt of the horse and threw a handful of hay over.
These horses were also powerful. They ate as they walked, but the carriage did not shake at all.
It even made a sound, and the sound of the endorphins kept coming. It was obvious that they still wanted more.
The young maid rolled her eyes at them and said softly, "You only know how to eat all day long. It really follows your Mistress's character."
The convoy continued to move forward.
Everyone's faces were filled with helplessness.
They didn't know when it would start.
Soon, the motorcade arrived at a valley entrance.
The two halves of the mountain were very tall.
There was a path in the middle.
This should be the riverbed of the ancient era. The river had dried up, but the river had remained. Therefore, compared to other places, it was much smoother, and this place had been used as a path.
Go, we must go here.
After all, it was unknown how long the mountain ridges on both sides extended. It was impossible to flip over, and even if they went around, they generally wouldn't be able to go around either.
However, all the guards became nervous.
Because everyone with common sense knew that this was the most suitable place to set up an ambush!
And the most suitable place to do something was to do something.
The guard subconsciously looked at his own carriage.
No matter how he looked at it, it was a merchant caravan, and it was a large merchant caravan. There must be valuable goods on it.
The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with stubble all over his face.
He had a strong back and a strong waist.
Behind him was a large machete.
There were seven copper rings on the back of the machete.
Each of them was as big as a bull's eye bead.
This kind of knife was called the Bull's Eye Ring Blade. When it was used, it was heavy and sharp. If the knife hit its target, even the head of the horse would be chopped off.
However, this kind of blade was not something that ordinary people could use.
A knife weighed fifty kilograms. Ordinary people would use a lot of effort to lift it up. There was no need to mention swinging it a few times.
The bearded man frowned.
He raised his hand and said, "Hang up all the flags."
The guards immediately took out colorful flags from the bottom of each carriage.
The flags were not big.
Including the flagpole, it was only five to six feet long, and it was directly inserted into the four corners of the carriage.
There were more than a dozen flags in the forest.
This flag represented a dozen or so of the most powerful forces in this region.
Among them, there was even Stupid Zhang's flag. On top of it, there was a crooked word.
When the bearded man saw that the flag had been hung, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.
However, he did not let down his guard.
His gaze swept back and forth on the left and right hills.
At this moment.
A loud rumbling sound came from the right.
The bearded man turned his head to take a look, and he was so scared that he saw stars.
He hurriedly shouted loudly, "Retreat, retreat!"
It was clearly impossible for such a long convoy to immediately turn around and retreat.
However, they could still stop in time.
At this moment, a huge rock, which was at least six people's arms, was rolling down from the right side of the hill. It broke a small stone tree along the way and stirred up a cloud of smoke as it charged towards the convoy.
The others were also scared out of their wits.
The horses were also frightened. They stood up and neighed as they stamped their feet crazily.
However, at this moment, the huge rock suddenly crashed into a rock at the side. It changed direction and rolled in front of the convoy. It only blocked the road, but it did not hit anyone.
The strong wind created by the huge rock blew up a wave of sand and stones. It hit the bearded man's large blade, creating a clanking sound.
The bearded man steadied his horse, gritted his teeth, and turned his head to glare at the hillside.
"Who are the experts on the left and right? Please give me some face. As long as we pass this place safely, we will reward you handsomely!"
No one stood out on both sides.
However, there was a burst of sharp and piercing laughter.
"Kehkehkehkeh, a huge rock can't force out money, so how can you expect it to happen after this? Warrior, you don't think of us brothers as fools, do you? "
The corner of Jiang's eye twitched a few times.
He had already put up the flag. As long as it was an expert in the green forest, he had to give them some face. Why didn't the other party see the flag, or did he not care at all and just turned a blind eye?
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
He directly flipped over and dismounted.
He found a small sheepskin bag by the saddle.
He weighed it in his hand and pulled the bag tightly.
He took golden steps with his feet and his shoulders formed a circle of the sun and moon.
With a weng sound.
He threw the sheepskin bag to the right side of the mountain.
The bag flew at an extremely high speed.
Just as it was about to land on the mountain ridge...
Suddenly...
A black shadow suddenly rushed down from the top of the mountain.
It was like a meteor.
In an instant, it arrived at the location of the sheepskin bag.
The black shadow was naturally a person.
A person who ran too fast.
That person reached out and grabbed the sheepskin bag in his hand.
Then, he squatted down and opened the bag. He looked inside and weighed it.
Then, he said loudly, "More than thirty taels of silver."
In a secret place, the sharp voice laughed again.
"Hehe, it seems like I was wrong. Warrior Jiang is not treating us like idiots, but as beggars! Do you think you can get rid of us with just these two melons? "
The corner of Jiang's eye twitched violently.
Isn't that enough?
Even if a normal merchant group were to sell all their goods on the black market, they would only be worth a few dozen taels of silver.
To him, this money was almost equivalent to two years' worth of money.
What's wrong? This is too little?
He was somewhat annoyed.
But after turning his head to look at the luxurious carriage, he suppressed his anger.
He took a deep breath.
He cupped his hands towards the hill and said, "Warriors, we were in a hurry on this trip and did not bring enough money with us. Today, I, Jiang, owe you. I will make it up to you later. I have some reputation in the martial arts world, and my words carry weight. I hope you can give me face. "
The sharp voice laughed, "If you really want to sell your face, I will also sell those flags you planted. You, Sixth Jiaang, still do not have the qualifications."
" What? "
Sixth Jiaang was shocked.
He didn't say his name.
After all, this was a secret operation.
Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't be able to recognize him.
More importantly, since the other party had already recognized him, why did he still want to block the way?
Furthermore, Sixth Jiaang was a name that he did not like.
He was prepared to probe the other party's intentions.
"So it turns out that all of you recognize me, Jiang. I wonder where I've seen you before? Or is there someone familiar here? "
"Kekekekeke! Others are afraid of you flipping over the river, Sixth Jiaang, but we are not afraid. Even the flags behind you, in our eyes... They are just some rags, but we have to give them some face. So we originally planned to let you go if you are sensible. But now... Tsk tsk, now is not a matter of whether I give you face or not. It's just that you don't give me face at all!"
