125. 125 Trailing
(Sorry, I have been working outside. This second update is a little late, please forgive me.)
Winter is about to enter, and the daylight seems much shorter than before.
Night soon came, and the cold wind blew freely, and even the body of an ordinary warrior could not resist the chill.
Outside Ziyun City, a group of people walked quickly. Surrounded by the team, two carriages carrying huge boxes made a "crack~" sound.
"I don't know what the boss is doing. He actually shipped the goods so late." As the team was moving, a voice came out.
"Yes, I'm always rushing during the day and resting at night, why is this different this time?" Another voice was also puzzled.
"I heard that this batch of goods is very important, so I asked for this time to deliver it." The third voice said as if I knew the inside story.
"No. I heard that this batch of goods has arrived long ago and was originally scheduled to be delivered during the day."
"Is that so? But I don't think this is reasonable. The chances of meeting a band of robbers at night are much greater than during the day."
"So what, we have so many people, and Lord Shangkun and Young Master Bai. The lineup is so strong, I don't believe anyone dares to make a decision."
"We must know how powerful it is. God knows which group of people who are not open will appear. You must know that the current band of robbers will have hundreds of people as soon as they move."
"Hundreds of people? As far as I know, the bandits near Ziyun City are at the level of ordinary warriors. I guess Lord Shang Kun will settle them all by himself. Remember, Lord Shang Kun is a martial guard. Although he is at level one, he is not comparable to those so-called robbers."
A martial arts-level master can deal with ordinary warriors with a hundred yuan.
"Anyway, I think it's not appropriate to travel at night."
"Okay, let's say a little bit, you're still afraid you won't be able to recruit robbers."
"Everyone should try not to speak, as it will be troublesome to attract a robber group." At this time, a slightly majestic voice came out.
Everyone looked at the person who made a sound, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
A relatively thin young man walked slowly to the person who spoke and asked, "Hehe, Lord Shangkun, what kind of goods are we transporting this time? Why did we have to come out at night?"
The person who is called Lord Shangkun is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks quite ordinary.
When he heard someone from his subordinates ask, Shang Kun frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Inquiry so much about what to do and do your business well, otherwise, be careful that I will chop you."
The thin young man stretched out his head and ran to the side with boredom.
"Everyone is more energetic. This time the goods are very important. You can't make any mistakes. If something happens, no one can get half a copper plate." Shang Kun shouted loudly to everyone.
As he said that, Shang Kun glanced at everyone with disdain, walked slowly to a young man in a white robe, and said flatteringly: "Master Bai, what's wrong with coming out so late this time?"
As a powerful man with Yun Sheng’s expertise, Shang Kun has always been very familiar with some things, but this time he made a plan. He came out so late to deliver the goods? He even thought there was something wrong.
Seeing Shang Kun looking down at the boy in white robe, everyone secretly extended their middle finger to Shang Kun.
Of course, Shang Kun did not see the sneering expressions. At this time, the latter was still looking at the young man in white robe with a smile, waiting for his answer.
The young man in white robe was Bai Jingshan, the son of Bai Shixiang. He was a genius who was only fourteen years old and was already a level 8 warrior. In fact, Shang Kun didn't have to be ashamed of Bai Jingshan, but who made this young man the nephew of his boss? Although his level was lower than his, Shang Kun still had to establish a good relationship with Bai Jingshan.
Bai Jingshan shook the folding fan in his hand, frowned and looked at the surroundings, and occasionally covered his mouth and nose with his hands. Obviously, he hated the damp smell at night. Bai Jingshan lowered his voice and said, "If there is something important this time, you will not ask, and you will go to another place with me later."
"Another place?" Although Yun Sheng told him that during the delivery of goods, he had to listen to Bai Jingshan's orders, Shang Kun did not feel anything wrong. But suddenly, Bai Jingshan wanted to go to another place with him, Shang Kun was a little surprised.
"Don't you worry. Didn't Uncle Yun tell you that he would listen to me this time?" Seeing that Shang Kun's voice became louder, Bai Jingshan immediately scolded in a low voice.
"Oh, what should I do with this batch of goods?" Although Shang Kun didn't understand what Bai Jingshan wanted, he still had to listen to Bai Jingshan. However, if this batch of goods is missing, it would be a bit dangerous.
Of course Bai Jingshan knew what Shangkun was thinking. Seeing that Shangkun was a little confused, Bai Jingshan whispered: "It's okay, this batch of goods is not important, just listen to me."
"It's not important?" Shang Kun vaguely felt that something was strange, but after thinking hard, he couldn't figure it out and no longer thought about it.
A group of people walked quietly, gradually entering and leaving about ten miles.
Behind the people, in the woods near the official road, a black figure followed from afar. The black figure was agile, without any drag and water during the rapid flight, and no sound was made.
The black shadows stopped and stopped at this speed, completely keeping a certain distance from the men and horses brought by Shangkun ahead.
The black shadow was Mo Ran. At this moment, Mo Ran's appearance had undergone a tremendous change. His originally pretty face disappeared, but he was given a face that was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary.
Since receiving the information provided by Tong Liang to him, Mo Ran has sorted out everything. Shortly after the team left the city, he brought the mask that Qiu Na once gave him and followed. Along the way, Mo Ran clearly touched the number of teams.
There were eleven people escorting the goods, and the big man had the highest strength, probably had reached the level of the Martial Guard. Then there was the young man in white robe. The rest were basically acquired and a few warriors who had just entered the warrior.
But what made Moran feel strange was that the most powerful man in the team had been timid in the white-robed boy. Could it be that this boy was the leader of this team?
According to common sense, among the people, the people who are most powerful are generally the ones who are in the forefront, but the situation in front of them is different.
So Mo Ran, who followed along the way, not only noticed the big man in particular, but also paid great attention to the boy wrapped in white robe.
"Where is the thing?" Mo Ran's eyes swept over the people in front of him, and his heart kept thinking: It's impossible to be in two boxes. Such two big things must attract other people's attention. It's impossible to put such an important thing as legendary secret technique here. If it's not in the box, it's on one of the people. And there are obviously some minions in this group of people, and the most critical of them is the big man and the young man in white robe.
"It must be one of them." Mo Ran thought to himself.
Before following, Mo Ran learned from Qiu Na that the legendary secret technique would not be placed in the spiritual ring, and there was only one chance to use it, so Mo Ran was sure that the secret technique scroll must be in the hands of Shang Kun and Bai Jingshan. As for whom it is hidden, Mo Ran didn't know.
"It seems we need to find an opportunity to test it." After thinking, Mo Ran had an idea in his mind.
A team of people walked quickly, perhaps because they had just walked out of Ziyun City, they did not encounter a robber group, so they were still safe and sound so far.
After walking for a long time, the night had really arrived. The crescent moon in the sky was shrouded in black fog, and could only emit a faint light of friend. At this time, the official road was pitch black, and the faces of the escort team gradually became solemn. They who often walked outside naturally knew that they were most vulnerable to attack at this moment, so they all looked around with vigilance to prevent sudden events from happening.
"Swish~"
While everyone was traveling cautiously, a faint sound of breaking through the air sounded from a distance.
Then, a "dang" sound spread to everyone's ears.
"Clang~" The crisp sound of several weapons being unsheathed resounded, and the people escorted the team pulled out the weapons in their hands like nerve reflexes, searching around with vigilance.
"What happened?" Seeing this situation, Shang Kun strode towards the center of the team and asked loudly. At the same time, a pair of tiger eyes also followed the subordinates to look around.
After searching around for a long time, there was no abnormality. At this time, a subordinate walked over with an iron piece in his hand and said, "The wheels of the carriage have been rolled to this thing."
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the mental pressure was much greater when they rushed to the road at night.
Shang Kun also relaxed for a while, then shouted loudly: "A group of cowards scared a piece of iron. Hurry up and get on the road. There will be villages and towns more than ten miles ahead. We will rest there."
Everyone took advantage of the darkness and looked at Shang Kun with a bad view, then put away the weapons in their hands and worked their own things.
Not far away, behind a big tree, Mo Ran, whose eyes were always following the escort team, had a curve that was enough to be called a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After walking for a long time, the villages and towns in Shangkun's mouth suddenly appeared in the eyes of the crowd. The villages and towns are not big, they can only be considered a small village. However, there is a very small inn and inn here, which is small, but it is enough to live in this team. However, it is not too dawn yet, and it has not been too long since it came out of Ziyun City. Why did you choose to rest at this time? Everyone knows, but this order was given by Shangkun, the leader of the team, so everyone walked into the inn without thinking deeper.
Seeing the escort team staying in the inn, Mo Ran couldn't help but wonder: Why did you choose accommodation at this time?
"Don't worry, go in and take a look." I couldn't figure out why the escort team stayed at this time. Mo Ran didn't think about it anymore, but instead made up his mind to go in and explore while everyone was sleeping.
Along the way, Mo Ran carefully analyzed that if he had given all his strength to do, there would be no chance of winning before he could finish. As for the young man in white robe, Mo Ran didn't take it seriously at all.
Hiding in a big tree, Mo Ran stared at the inn. When all the lights were turned off, Mo Ran knew that his time had come.
After adjusting his condition slightly, Mo Ran was about to go in and check it out.
