I Have Six Plug-ins

let's go!

Da da da, carts full of food formed a long queue and slowly drove away from Cangtong Town.

There are more than a thousand grain carriages, and the scale of the long dragon can be imagined, with no end in sight.

Such a huge grain transportation team could not move fast even with horses pulling the carts.

"From Cangtong Town to Shangyang City, the shortest road is 1,500 miles away."

"If the road conditions are good, we can travel more than a hundred miles a day, a maximum of one hundred and fifty miles.

But if it rains and the roads are muddy, it would be nice to be able to walk fifty miles a day. "

The two tall horses walking in the front are old man Zheng and Dian Wei.

Song Jincheng was at the end of the team and was in charge of the rear.

Old man Zheng babbled and sighed:

"A few times, landslides occurred in the section of road we passed, and the road was blocked, and there was only one road. There was no way to detour, so we had to bite the bullet and clean it up, but it took more than a month to clear the road. By the time the food was delivered to Shangyang City, more than half of it was moldy.

In addition, we have also encountered floods, mudslides, or bridges that we must pass have broken down, and we have to stop to build roads and build bridges, or simply take long detours. Delays of ten days and a half months are considered good. "

Dian Wei listened carefully.

But these are not his main concern.

I still remember that the last time Old Man Zheng was escorting food, he was attacked, not to mention injured, the food was also destroyed, and even Li Kuo, Wei Xiuzhi and other apprentices lost their lives to go in.

Dian Wei asked slightly, "Old Zheng, which part of the road is the most dangerous?"

Old man Zheng replied: "This large area is actually the territory of the Shangyang family. That is to say, if we follow the established route and don't go out of the territory, we are basically unlikely to encounter danger."

Dian Wei was surprised: "Could it be that we will go out?"

Old man Zheng nodded: "The main thing is to see how the road conditions are. If this road is blocked and you have no choice, you have to make a detour.

And once it deviates from the established route, it is possible to go out of the territory and enter some dangerous areas. "

Dian Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is this dangerous area?"

Old man Zheng pondered: "It may be the hunting ground of some powerful monster, or it may be the territory of some vicious beast, or it may be some powerful gang of bandits, etc. In short, the danger we face is nothing more than Humans, monsters, and alien beasts."

Speaking of this, old man Zheng thought of something, looked at Dian Wei, and said in a low voice: "Of course, you may encounter 'abnormalities', so be careful on the way."

This made Dian Wei's heart shudder.

Old man Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, by the way, there is another potential danger, and that is the hostile forces of the Shangyang family!

If they are determined to attack us, they will most likely set up an ambush on the road.

The last time we were attacked, we were ambushed by a hostile force, and our food was burned by others.

Alas, it has not been found out who did it so far. "

Dian Wei understood.

Escorting food is really not easy.

Along the way, not only may you encounter bad weather, but you may also encounter various dangers.

It was noon.

The escorting dragon stopped to rest for a stick of incense, and let the escorts eat the dry food they carried and drink some water.

Dian Wei, Old Man Zheng and the others had already eaten the cooked and dried exotic animal meat prepared by Li in the morning, so they don't need to eat for a day, just drink some water.

After lunch, the team immediately set out on the road.

until dark.

The procession stopped, set up camp, and slept in the open.

"The first day's itinerary was not bad, and we walked about 120 miles." Old man Zheng said with a smile, pinching his fingers.

Dian Wei didn't know how the sense of distance was calculated.

Anyway, he has been confused for a long time, and he has no idea how far this day has gone.

The escort workers ate and slept next to each other.

Dian Wei and others are bodyguards, so they are responsible for patrolling back and forth and working night shifts.

They are divided into two teams, one team is on duty in the first half of the night, and the other team is in charge of the second half of the night.

Old man Zheng and Dian Wei stayed up in the first half of the night, and Song Jincheng and others took turns in the second half of the night before he fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, when it was still daylight, everyone got up, had a hasty breakfast, and started on their way.

So cycle.

It was all right.

On the eleventh day, people suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Old man Zheng flattered his ass and said, "Sanchakou is in front of us. This is our supply station. You can stay in the inn, take a shower, and sleep well."

Dian Wei looked up and found a town looming at the end of the road. Its scale was not small. Although it was not as big as Cangtong Town, it still had high-rise streets and people were coming and going.

Old man Zheng introduced:

"This three-way intersection is located at the intersection of three main roads, one leading to the north, one leading to the east, and the road under our feet. There are three roads in total. They are important traffic routes!

In the past, there was only one inn here, which was very simple, but later, there were too many people passing by, and it gradually expanded into a town. The Shangyang family also valued this place, and there were as many as two coaches sent to guard it. "

While speaking, the escorting dragon arrived outside the town.

Someone had already run to inform the two coaches guarding the place, and they rushed to greet him.

Of these two people, one is a white-clothed gentleman holding an iron fan, with a smile on his face, and the other is a white-haired old woman, holding a snake-headed staff, her face is cold and expressionless.

Old man Zheng cupped his hands, and said to the white-haired old woman, "Grandma Yun, are you in good health?"

The white-haired old woman showed a slight smile, she had no teeth in her mouth, she pursed her mouth inward, and said vaguely: "I am very well, I can't die for the time being, but you were injured in the attack last time, how is your health?"

Old man Zheng continued: "My fate is hard, I'm almost better."

The white-haired old woman nodded: "It seems that the skill of moving mountains is also unique in terms of self-healing."

Old man Zheng turned his head to look at the white-clothed scholar: "Who is this?"

The white-haired old woman introduced: "His name is Qi Lian, the new coach."

Qi Lian, a gentleman in white, cupped his hands unhurriedly and politely.

After seeing each other, old man Zheng asked in surprise, "Where is that coach Wang from before?"

The white-haired old woman muffled: "Dead."

She did not say how the man died, as if such details were not worth mentioning.

Old man Zheng sighed and said, "That instructor Wang has a warm heart, and he is a good man."

The white-haired old woman snorted and said, "She's a nice person, but it's a pity that since he was able to see the 'abnormality', he has gradually gone crazy. Alas, who would have thought that a dignified coach would end up wiping his own neck .”

As soon as this word comes out!

Dian Wei tensed up, and took a deep look at the white-haired old woman.

Qi Lian, a gentleman in white, seemed to have noticed Dian Wei's reaction, and gave him an extra look.
