Chapter 26 The Line of Heaven
Chapter 26 A ray of sky
Bai Lian looked around and saw that the other people didn't pay attention.
The rugged man was chewing dried meat and filling a bottle of water, not paying attention to anything else; as for the old man in gray, he was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, concentrating.
The remaining six people, all of whom have already decided to join the escort agency, are greeting each other, laughing and chatting with each other. After this escort trip, they can be regarded as members of the Longwei Escort Agency.
The escorts were chatting in small groups, among which the three that Mo Yu had seen were the most serious. They were arming each other, eating and drinking freely, and inducing the others to relax, which was considered their true nature.
Looking at Long Xiangtian and the other three, they were guarding the escort carriage, eating, drinking and chatting quietly, scanning the surroundings from time to time to be on guard against intruders.
"Brother Mo,"
Bai Lian lowered his voice and said with a sincere face: "The escort agency is unjust first. We will just keep our elites well and fight back in chaos as appropriate."
Mo Yu frowned, and the figures of the old beggar and the beggar appeared in his mind. Finally, he bit his gums and nodded in agreement with Bai Lian's statement.
Seeing that Mo Yu agreed, Bai Lian's lips curled up slightly.
He patted Mo Yu on the shoulder and pointed to the old man in gray in a warm voice: "Although that man is old, he is also an experienced master of the third realm. I'm going to have a look. Maybe I can get another partner."
Mo Yu looked along Bai Lian and saw that the old man in gray clothes had a calm aura, but he was the best at the same level. After all, he had practiced kung fu all his life.
They nodded and agreed to the other party's proposal, and the two fisted each other.
Under Mo Yu's gaze, Bai Lian really leaned towards the old man in gray, smiling and chatting with the wary-looking old man.
After a while, the old man nodded hesitantly and looked towards Mo Yu.
Mo Yu immediately clasped his fists, but the other party didn't return the greeting and just nodded. He seemed to look down on Mo Yu's age.
Mo Yu didn't look back, and withdrew his gaze. He ate all the dried meat and scallion pancakes with water. Only when he was full and drank enough did he have the energy to do other things.
Soon, the food was completely gone and the belly became full.
Mo Yu took Youqi, put his knees horizontally, closed his eyes and concentrated, Long Xiangtian and Bai Lian appeared in his mind, trying to analyze who was right and who was wrong.
Things are different now. After a year of ups and downs, Mo Yu is no longer so innocent and careless.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and no one will approach you for no reason. Where there is any abnormality, there must be a demon.
When an escort agency engages in such a big deal, they will think carefully in advance, plan the best route, and investigate the forces they encounter along the way to ensure nothing goes wrong.
This time, the Longwei Escort Bureau is obviously doing the opposite. It is in the midst of reviving its strength and should act even more cautiously. It will never choose a path like Yixiantian, let alone temporarily recruit some individual escorts from the bottom of the world.
Looking at Bai Lian again, from the time he was recruited to now, he has always had a smile on his face. If he didn't look for himself before, why did he find a first-line genius to explain the situation so quickly?
If he ran away as he said, how could he find someone as young as himself? The disdain of the old man in gray was a normal reaction.
After calming down, all the connections will become clear. Long Xiangtian's hesitant words and Bai Lian's longings and pulls are clearly magnified in his mind.
Everyone around them had finished eating and drinking, stopped talking and making noise, and returned to their seats, holding their voices and breaths, and looking around cautiously.
The weather was getting dark, and a light wind was blowing from all directions. In the distance, the wind in the canyon of the sky was louder, screaming like a weeping ghost, and making the horse team's hooves move uneasily.
Mo Yu opened his eyes and looked calmly towards the sky.
The two sides of the canyon are towering, and there is only one passage at the bottom to pass through. They are all gray rocks and there is nothing to hide. Standing on the top of the canyon cliff, you can take all the initiative.
The internal energy of the first stage of the Second Heaven has become familiar. After eating and drinking enough, the whole body is full of energy, holding hands and crying, just like everyone else, waiting for things to develop.
In a blink of an eye, the moon was high in the sky, and it was already the third watch.
The sparkling moonlight casts white shadows on the rocks, and the night wind in the Yixiantian Canyon becomes more and more roaring, penetrating people like weeping ghosts.
At the escort car, Long Xiangtian opened his eyes, and a light flashed across his eyes.
He stood up, looked at each other and nodded with the two people on his left and right, then waved his sleeves and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, get ready, cross the valley!"
Isn't it the fifth day of the night? Mo Yu looked at Long Xiangtian in surprise. He suddenly changed his mind and what kind of abacus was he planning? This escort was becoming more and more incomprehensible.
Some people were also full of doubts, but they still followed the words and got up one after another and picked up their weapons.
At this time, the groom brought the men and horses over and looked carefully. The horses' hooves were all wrapped in cotton and the horses' mouths were covered with cages.
Mo Yu took the horse's rope, stepped onto the horse, and was very careful, Youqi was ready to unsheath at any time.
The escort team was quickly ready to go, surrounding the escort carriage. The carriage that might be the escort leader was standing at the front, with Long Xiangtian's three deputy escort chiefs guarding the left and right.
Just when the escort team was about to leave, Bai Lian next to Mo Yu made some movement, smiled and raised his hands towards Long Xiangtian.
"Manager Long, didn't we agree that it would be the fifth watch? Why did we set off at the third watch unexpectedly?"
Mo Yu glanced at Bai Lian, and then at Long Xiangtian. He also wanted to know what explanation the other party would give.
The remaining eight people, except for the old man in gray who looked suspicious and slightly angry, seemed to have regarded themselves as members of the escort agency.
Long Xiangtian looked at Bai Lian and chuckled: "It turns out to be Brother Bai,"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and explained a little apologetically: "The moon is full this night, so it is a good time to cross the gorge."
Bai Lian looked up at the night sky, where the full moon was shining brightly, and nodded with a smile, indicating that he agreed with what the other party said.
After clasping his fists to complain, he looked back and gave the old man in gray clothes and Mo Yu a look that meant they could act accordingly.
The old man in gray clothes wielded a long knife. He raised the knife in response. When Mo Yu saw this, he also raised his hand and cried symbolically.
There was no objection anymore, Long Xiangtianxiu waved forward, and the escort team moved forward in an orderly manner.
There was a faint sound of horse hooves, and the bodyguards gathered around ten people, tightly guarding the carriage as it approached towards the sky.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the distance between the sky and the sky is getting closer and closer.
Finally, when they came to the canyon, Long Xiangtian sent two bodyguards to inquire about the situation. After burning incense, the bodyguards came back and gave a sign that everything went well.
Seeing this, the escort team started again and headed into the deep valley.
When we entered the valley, most of the moonlight was blocked, and it was mostly dark inside. Everyone moved lightly and tacitly, and the horse team seemed to feel nervous, but not a single horse was restless.
Next to him, Bai Lian was already leaning against the old man in gray, and the two of them were communicating with each other.
Mo Yu looked around with his eyes, his right hand quietly resting on the hilt of Youqi sword, with no intention of passing by.
He always felt that keeping a distance from oneself was the best choice when he didn't know the root cause.
There was silence and a depressing atmosphere. One-third of the canyon had passed. Looking at the top of the valley by the moonlight, no trace of an ambush was found.
But there are still two-thirds of the way to go, and no one can tell what will happen.
In this way, the escort team maintained their formation and marched in silence for another incense stick. After two-thirds of the distance, the exit could be clearly seen a hundred meters away.
Mo Yu's energy was concentrated like never before. The last hundred meters were the most critical. Only by getting through could he be truly safe.
Everyone was the same, holding their breath and concentrating, and placed their weapons in the unsheathed position.
Suddenly, Mo Yu felt inexplicably irritable, and his chest was pounding and pounding.
The horse snorted uneasily and moved its hooves wildly. Not only his own, but other people's horses began to panic.
"Boom~", "Boom~"
A series of roars shook the ground from behind, causing everyone to look back in shock, and the cavalry began to stir.
When we arrived at the entrance, we saw white mist filling the air, and dozens of boulders and ramparts blocking the entrance. From the top of the cliff, loud shouts and cheers could be heard, and when we looked up, we saw that there were forty or fifty people standing in Yingchuo.
"The robbers are coming~"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, which caused a panic. They shouted and shouted, and they gathered in the middle.
At the same time, an unknown horse neighed, raised its front hooves and threw the person on its back to the ground, took off the reins, frightened and ran towards the escort carriage, knocking down one or two people on the way.
"Asshole!"
The middle-aged man in black on the left side of Long Xiangtian gave a sharp shout, kicked up his horse's legs, jumped up, and shot the spear in his hand towards Ranma.
"Pfft~"
The sharp tip of the spear penetrated the horse's head, and the tail of the spear trembled up and down. The middle-aged man in black rushed over, hugged the gun body with both hands, shook it diagonally, and actually threw the horse skewered on the spear head.
Mo Yu's eyes narrowed and he looked solemnly at the horse that was still twitching and bleeding in the distance.
This person has such a strong inner strength, he is the Fourth Heaven! In my mind, I began to think about how ferocious the bandit leader of the Fifth Heaven must be.
"Everyone, rush at full speed!"
While everyone was stunned by the deputy escort in black and ignored the threat of the gangsters behind them, Long shouted to the sky and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, causing the horse to run towards the exit at full speed in pain.
Looking back, he shouted to the deputy escort leader in black: "Long Qian, take ten people to cut off the rear!"
Long Qian swung his spear, throwing off the spear head, and ordered the ten escorts to stand at the end of the team, ready to prepare.
Long Xiangtian took the lead and protected the escort carriage at full speed.
Mo Yu slapped the horse's ass with his scabbard, and closely followed the other nine people. The head escort's carriage was driven by the groom, and all the remaining escorts followed.
For a moment, there were roars and dust flying, and under the moonlight, everyone rushed towards the exit.
In the blink of an eye, the exit was already in front of us, and Long Xiangtian in front was already halfway out.
Mo Yu's eyes kept wandering between Long Xiangtian and Bai Lian. When Long Xiangtian was already approaching the exit, he didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them.
Is everything just self-conjecture and thinking in the wrong direction?
Just when Mo Yu's heart was mixed and he was about to step towards the exit, a muffled sound came from the front. When he looked up, his expression suddenly changed.
At the exit, there was a silent crowd of forty or fifty people, casually and roughly dressed, who looked like robbers at first glance!
In the front, Long Xiangtian was fighting fiercely with a bare-chested, one-eyed robber holding a heavy knife.
But after just a few moves, Long Xiangtian was slapped on the chest, vomited blood and flew into the escort team. Everyone was so frightened that they panicked and stopped their formation, fearfully looking at the robbers outside.
"Hahaha~"
The one-eyed robber put a heavy knife on his shoulder and pointed at Long Xiangtian with a big smile: "The dignified general manager of Longwei Escort Bureau is nothing more than that!"
The robbers behind responded to the situation by laughing, scolding or taunting each other, making a fuss and getting carried away.
On the other hand, Long Xiangtian stood up with the help of his hands, covering his chest and looking at the one-eyed robber gloomily.
"Dulong, fortunately you are still the leader of the gang, but you actually like to do this sneak attack from behind."
Chapter completed!
