Chapter 28 Red Velvet Flower
The motorcade set off at noon, went to a mountainside in the evening, camped for a fire, and began to rest. It will take another half a day to get to Shatuo City. This rest is also mainly for meals and a nap. The team has to rush to Shatuo City at night. After all, it is not safe to sleep in the wilderness.
Zhang Yan's cavalry warrior team, including a total of eight people, is responsible for the work of the break. The leading captain is a middle-aged man with a scorpion-shaped scar on his face, rough and heroic, named Chang Heng, and the team get along well with everyone. Zhang Yan, a foreign guest, is also extremely enthusiastic.
When Zhang Yan was about to leave, Zengfuzi gave him some money and clothes. At this time, Zhang Yan's long hair was simply knotted with silk strips, wearing a pale blue long coat, which looked beautiful and pleasant. It's just that the thin old horse was a little cold. He had no choice but to leave in a hurry and had to hold the old horse that Zengfuzi's family had stopped running for some years.
Zhang Yan is gentle and polite to these cavalry warriors, and his temper is free and easy, which is not disgusting. At this time, Zhang Yan was stationed in the camp to make a fire and cook, and Zhang Yan also participated in picking up firewood. Soon their team of eight people sat around the bonfire.
On the shelf, the whole piece of meat was baked, and the flames shone on everyone's faces. From time to time, the sparks were peeling and splashed into the night.
Captain Chang Heng took out a large wine bag, raised his head and took a few mouthfuls, laughing, "It's fun!" Brother, take two bites before eating meat to stimulate your appetite. With that, he handed it to the team members next to him.
Chang Heng looked at everyone with a smile and took a few sips of wine bags and handed them to the next person. When it was Zhang Yan's turn, he suddenly said, "Brother Zhang Yan, take this opportunity to chat with your brothers so that you can take care of them on the way."
A team member next to Chang Heng said, "Yes, the Zhang Yan brothers are handsome and pleasing, but if they encounter danger on the road, they have to be very helpful."
Chang Heng slapped the man on the head and scolded with a smile, "Raven's mouth, what's the danger is not dangerous? If you say it again, I will punish you to stand at the night whistle!"
The man shouted, "I dare not, Boss Chang, please forgive me. The little one can add tea to you and pour water, but you can't do this night whistle. If you don't sleep, I will lose all my force and my life will be saved.
Everyone laughed when they heard the sound, and one shouted, "Jiao Laoer, your grandson is a coward. It's a shame. I, Guo Laoshuan, look down on you."
Zhang Yan was about to take a big sip of the wine bag. He was stunned when he heard the words. Curious last name...
Jiao Lao Er shouted, "Okay, Guo Laoshuan, you are very tiger. You stand at the night whistle and let me see if Jiao Laoer can stand it."
Chang Heng quickly stopped bickering and said, "Brother Zhang Yan hasn't said it yet. You two are choking. Get out and take charge of the barbecue."
Zhang Yan poured a few mouthfuls of wine, and a hot feeling went straight to his mind, and his whole body was hot. He couldn't help shouting, "Good wine!"
A person next to him interrupted and said, "That's right, this wine is only suitable for heroes."
"Rat, you are not a hero. You are good at stealing chickens and dogs." One person shouted
"Haha, that's right." The others shouted in a mess.
Chang Heng saw that Zhang Yan was cold when he continued to make trouble like this, and his face darkened and shouted, "Shut up. Today is to welcome the Zhang Yan brothers. I didn't let you fart."
Everyone quickly sat upright when they heard the sound and looked at Zhang Yan tacitly. It seems that Chang Heng is still very good at it.
Zhang Yan smiled and looked at the rough men in front of him talking loudly. He couldn't help thinking of Hong Daquan. How similar this scene was when he and Daquan drank. Before he had time to think about it, he saw that everyone's eyes turned to him and said for a moment, "Everyone knows that my name is Zhang Yan. This time, I went to Tuomu City with the motorcade to visit a relative. I'm sorry for everyone to take care of it. Zhang Yan didn't want to repay him, so he had to drink to express his feelings." With that, he raised his wine bag and drank a big mouthful of cow.
"Reasure! The Zhang Yan brothers are also temperamental people," everyone shouted one after another.
"Don't, drink slowly, I haven't tasted it yet." A reluctant voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned and laughed again, and the laughter floated deep into the night sky.
After eating, the motorcade did not delay and lit the torch on the road on the already dark night. Looking from afar, the long convoy devoured the night like a winding fire dragon.
After a conversation by the bonfire, Zhang Yan and the other seven members of the team became familiar. It is also learned from them that this team belongs to Fu Rongji, the largest commercial bank in Tuomu City in the southernmost part of Liang Wuguo, and is the property of the Liao family of the local Xiuzhen family. Every year, materials such as animal bones and fur that are useful to monks are purchased from northern Xinjiang for engraving runes and making armor. Liao, the leader, is a monk. He was very majestic in this group of warriors. As for who sat in the exquisite carriage behind the team, no one knows, but I remember that the carriage and the guard, like Zhang Yan, joined the team in Cuishan Town.
When Zhang Yan entered the team, he looked at the cultivation realm of the leader Liaotou at a glance. However, he dares to use his divine knowledge to spy on who is sitting in the exquisite carriage. If he is a high-ranking monk, he will be aware of himself, which will reveal his identity. Zhang Yan does not want to see unnecessary trouble.
The night was very thick, and only the rumble of horses' hoofs were heard along the way, and everyone stopped talking and marched with a wary face. Night is the time when it is most likely to happen, and people dare not take it lightly.
But the accident still happened. The horse team walking in front of it stopped, and then there was a faint scream in the distance. It is thought that the horse team in front of us encountered a situation. The scorpion scar on Chang Heng's face rolled for a while and shouted in a low voice, "Guo Laoshuan went to the front to inquire about the news, and everyone stood still to strengthen their vigilance!"
Everyone had already drawn out the sword guy with a solemn face, and Guo Laoshuan galloped forward. Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. Because he only built a foundation, his divine consciousness could only explore the surrounding area of dozens of feet, and he didn't know what had happened in front of him.
At this time, Chang Heng turned his head and said to Zhang Yan, "Brother Zhang, don't panic. This place is located between Cuishan Town and Shatuo City, only a hundred miles away. It is expected that nothing will happen. But just in case, you stay among the brothers so that you can take care of them.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "The leader of Lao Chang is worried about it and will follow the instructions." After saying that, he entered the crowd and thought in silence. Changheng and the people in the team take good care of themselves. If they encounter something that they can't refuse, they should help. They are indelicable.
To repair the true road, human feelings are the most difficult to return.
Guo Laoshuan came back and said with a smile, "It's okay. The carriage in front seems to have eaten something dirty. His whole body twitched and fell to the ground. Liao has already started to deal with it and can continue on the road in a while."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned the weapon. Chang Heng asked, "How many horses have had an accident?"
"Four horses are pulling the same carriage." Guo Laoshuan found his position and said casually.
Chang Heng said, and a strange face flashed by. At this time, the team started again, waved and started!
Zhang Yan looked thoughtful. He was not relieved, but strengthened his vigilance. Four horses twitch at the same time, which is strange and even a little strange. Or pulling the same car, is there anything unusual about the goods pulled on the car?
Deduled forward, until it came to a huge gate, and nothing unusual happened to the convoy. Everyone breathed a long sigh. The gate was closed in the middle of the night. I don't know what measures Liao Tou used to let the soldiers guard the city open the gate.
The motorcade slowly entered the city and stopped in a large inn. Due to the large number of people and goods, Liaotou arranged a vigil, and the other five or six people rested in one room.
Zhang Yan, Jiao Laoer, Rat, and two others live in the same room. After practicing, Zhang Yan has never slept and silently meditated in the dark room. The snoring of the others in the room quickly sounded, and it seemed that they were tired one after another.
Less than an hour after Zhang Yan meditated, a very subtle voice came to his ears, "Liaotou, are we being targeted..." Zhang Yan quickly listened attentively. However, in a large room isolated seven or eight rooms, two people were whispering.
Liaotou said, "In this cargo, there are treasures such as red velvet flowers, which is not surprising to be targeted. Alas, I don't know whether this shipment is a blessing or a curse.
Another person said, "What do you say, will our team encounter any danger this time? We have more than 300 rider warriors."
Liaotou seemed to be the only one to meditated and said for a while, "I'm afraid it's not ordinary people who are staring at us this time. According to my guess, it is likely to be a trueist!"
Another person whispered and quickly said, "Then aren't we in danger? The monks are all powerful, and I can't compete with them at all.
Liaotou hummed gently and said, "If you can see the red velvet flower, the cultivation is not much higher. The red velvet flower is only useful for impacting the foundation level. For Gao Xiu, it has no use value at all. We don't have to worry about this. Don't forget, but there is also a senior in our motorcade. We respect him and serve him meticulously, so that he will not stand by when he is in danger.
Another person suddenly said, "Why did I forget this tie, Liao Tou, the senior sitting in the carriage is a man or a woman? What about cultivation?"
Liao Shou lowered his voice and said, "Lower! That senior is a female monk, and her cultivation may have the cultivation of the foundation period. These monks have strange tempers. Don't make trouble with your tongue!" The last sentence implied the threat of warning and said it was low and vicious.
The man's voice was lower and said, "Liaotou, don't worry, Wu Shan, won't chew my tongue. Well, I'll go to see the vigil. Please rest early.
Then there was a sound of opening the door, and one person went out.
Zhang Yan is preparing to think about digest the information obtained. Unexpectedly, a voice sounded in Liao Tou's room!
