Chapter 252 Escort

"Brother Bai, I heard that Mr. Dong has an invincible sense. Is that true?"

After the three of them became familiar with each other, Liao Zhong gradually relaxed.

Dong Wanjun is now very famous, even people in Kyoto have heard of him.

The main reason is that Du Qinghui once said that Dong Wanjun is the best in knowledge and perception.

The former Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate was a man of great vision. I wonder how many geniuses he had seen. If he said this, it must not be empty talk.

Therefore, Dong Wanjun's reputation has been discussed countless times by the young men in Kyoto. If Lingzhou was not too far away from Kyoto, many people would definitely seek advice from Dong Wanjun.

Now that he had met Dong Wanjun's disciple, Liao Zhong of course had to ask him a question.

In fact, he, like Yang Fangyu, was envious of Old Man Dong's deeds in Beiyuan.

Bai Yuan: "Master Du's words are just a casual remark, they cannot be taken seriously."

Liao Zhong hesitated at first, then nodded.

He thought so too.

There are so many powerful people in the world, not to mention the countless old monsters stuck in perception hidden in the Central Plains. Although those people will never be able to enter the state of enlightenment in their lifetime, their methods are terrifyingly powerful.

I can’t even imagine that Dong Wanjun is capable of suppressing those old monsters.

Yang Fangyu: "Junior Brother Liao, why did you become a grain transport officer?"

He asked the question in his mind.

After all, almost all the students who graduated from Yingshan Academy became civil servants.

He was a complete exception. He took the initiative to join the Zhenbei Army and then climbed up from a private to a captain.

Liao Zhong: "It was the idea of ​​Shanzhang Wang."

Hearing this, Yang Fangyu raised his eyebrows.

The principal of Yingshan Academy is a Confucian master, and Principal Wang is famous for his idea of ​​putting literature into practical use.

"Principal Wang once said that when the country is in danger, the students of the academy should take the lead and join the army."

Yang Fangyu suddenly realized.

Principal Wang was extremely popular in Yingshan Academy, and had countless followers. With the old man's words, there would naturally be many disciples in the academy who wanted to become military officers.

When talking about their past, Yang Fangyu and Liao Zhong became more and more excited.

Bai Yuan listened quietly at the side.

Yingshan Academy is indeed one of the four major academies. Ordinary students can meet great figures like Principal Wang.

It is said that if you enter Yingshan Academy, you will at least be an official of the fifth rank. No wonder students all over the world flock to it.

However, the admission threshold of Yingshan Academy is extremely high, and only ten students are admitted each year, all of whom are top-notch students.

Yang Fangyu once said that he had always been at the bottom of the class in the academy.

As they were talking, the group finally walked from the official road into the forest.

From here on, the risk of transporting grain increases greatly.

Yang Fangyu and Liao Zhong stopped talking and looked around vigilantly, not missing any details.

The grain transport convoys used the best demon horses, so even the mountain roads were as easy to travel on as flat ground.

After the route was changed, the grain transport team needed to walk on the mountain road for three more days before returning to the official road, so these three days were particularly important.

The convoy drove until dark, and then set up camp to rest when they reached a place with a wide view.

Bai Yuan and the other two gathered around the campfire, their faces lit up by the flames.

Liao Zhong said worriedly: "This time the earth dragon turned over is very unusual, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not give any warning."

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu also looked solemn.

Although most of the people in the Imperial Observatory were charlatans, they were not completely useless. Apart from spreading rumors, they were also good at detecting earthquakes.

Compared with predictions, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is much more accurate in detecting earthquakes.

The sophisticated instruments that Bai Yuan had in his previous life were completely defeated by metaphysics.

But this time the earthquake occurred on the official road, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not predict it in advance. Such a thing had not happened for hundreds of years.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong, so you need to be extremely careful.

The imperial court is now gathering troops towards the Great Wall in the north. If there is a problem with food and fodder at this time, there will be severe punishment.

Yang Fangyu: "Master Jiang has sent 300 demon cavalrymen to wait 20 miles away, Junior Brother Liao, don't worry."

Hearing this, Liao Zhong showed a look of delight.

With the demon cavalry charging and the three of them, the chances of protecting the grain transport team will be much greater.

At this time, Liao Zhong glanced at the hundred-man Shenfu Army behind him.

"Master Bai, is this the Fire Gun Team?"

"I've heard about the name for a long time."

Bai Yuan said calmly: "It's just some rumors."

Seeing Bai Yuan calm and composed, Liao Zhong took him more seriously. Among the younger generation in Lingzhou, General Bai in front of him was already the best.

The commander-in-chief of the Lingzhou Demon-Slaying Guard and the chief constable of the patrol station had gained great fame thanks to this firegun team.

When Liao Zhong thought of Bai Yuan’s previous battle record, he felt much calmer.

The next day.

The grain transport team set off before dawn.

The people in the grain transport team are all martial artists, and the horses are all demon horses, so they don't need to rest for too long, and there is no problem with marching at night.

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu led an army of hundreds of people to escort them, and the scene was quite large.

Ordinary bandits would naturally not be so blind as to provoke such a terrifying team. The only ones who dared to take action were the masters of the Demon Sect hiding in the mountains.

When it was bright, Bai Yuan finally saw the demon cavalry waiting in the valley.

The grain transport team did not encounter any setbacks along the way.

"Meet the three adults."

The leading demon cavalry commander bowed to Bai Yuan and the other two.

Liao Zhong responded: "Thank you for your help, General Zhang."

The demon cavalry commander named Zhang Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "General Liao, what are you talking about? This is my duty."

No matter in strength or official position, he was far inferior to the three people in front of him. He was just relying on the large number of demon cavalrymen, so naturally he did not dare to be arrogant.

Yang Fangyu and Bai Yuan had met Commander Zhang many times.

Yang Fangyu: "Now that we have reunited, let's hurry up and get on with our journey."

Zhang Qing: "Yes!" He was of course also very clear about the importance of this grain transportation.

With the addition of the demon cavalry, Liao Zhong became more confident.

another side.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

A man in a black robe walked through a pine forest and finally came to a stream.

"Sir, Xuanyang's grain transport convoy has passed Changfeng Ridge."

"it is good."

A female voice sounded slowly.

It was Han Min, the owner of the Soul-Chasing Tower.

She turned and walked upstream of the stream, where several figures were already waiting.

"Everyone, it's time for us to take action."

There was a fierce light in Han Min's eyes.

The people in front of them are all masters of the Demon Sect lurking in Lingzhou. Each of them has the strength comparable to that of a prefect. Such a terrifying team is enough to sweep across any prefecture in Lingzhou.

"See how you escape this time!"

She was already impatient to kill the young leader of the Shenfu Sect to avenge her previous humiliation.

The dragon's rise on the official road was certainly not a natural disaster, but a demonic disaster, caused by a great demon invited by Kuidong.

The purpose was to force Lingzhou's grain transport team to change their route so as to wait for an opportunity to ambush.

Obviously, their goal has been achieved.

This time the fish was much bigger than they expected, two fifth-grade fish, plus a hundred musketeers and three hundred demon cavalry.

Such a loss should be enough to make Governor Du feel painful for a long time.

squeak~
The sound of the carriage wheels turned echoed through the mountains and forests.

"We'll be out of the mountains in another fifty miles."

Yang Fangyu looked at the trees around him that were gradually becoming sparse and spoke slowly.

Although victory was in sight, no one intended to relax.

The closer it gets to this point, the more cautious we must be, otherwise we will definitely capsize in the ditch.

Liao Zhong's eyes swept around.

Just as he was about to speak——

Suddenly, a scream came from the front of the carriage.

Bai Yuan, who had not spoken a word, suddenly shouted, "Poisonous smoke!"

Before he could finish his words, screams were heard from the front, and rows of soldiers from the grain transport team fell down.

Bai Yuan waved his sleeves, and invisible and colorless medicinal powder floated among the grain transport team, neutralizing the poisonous smoke in the air. The poisonous smoke was easily dissolved by Bai Yuan.

Seeing this scene, Liao Zhong secretly praised in his heart.

In the martial arts world, Bai Yuan has always been known as the King of All Poisons, which refers to his poison skills and swordsmanship.

After seeing you today, I realize that your reputation is truly justified!

The detoxification skills are so impressive, so the poisoning skills must be even more terrifying.

Liao Zhong was somewhat glad that he and Bai Yuan were not enemies, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.

"Enemy attack, be on guard!"

Liao Zhong shouted angrily.

The martial artists of the grain transport team drew their weapons and formed a triangle formation in groups of six.

His movements were extremely swift, obviously he had practiced a lot.

There was a sound of breaking wind, and countless hidden weapons such as flying needles, darts and knives shot out from the dark forest.

Bai Yuan swung his sword to block the hidden weapon shot at him and glanced at the martial artist lying on the ground.

He was almost certain that the attack was the work of the Soul-Chasing Tower.

"Fire!"

Bai Yuan shouted at the musket team that had already formed their battle formation.

boom!
A burst of gunfire rang out.

Then, screams of someone being shot were heard in the forest, and the attack of the hidden weapons weakened a lot.

At this time, Yang Fangyu led three hundred demon cavalrymen to charge in the direction of the musket team's shooting.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

One by one, men in black fell from the trees and engaged in a fight with the martial artists who were transporting grain.

Yang Fangyu had just chopped down a killer from the Zhuihun Tower when he was stopped by a bearded man in a black robe.

He could feel the terrifying aura from the other person.

His strength is probably no less than his.

He glanced at the battlefield and saw five more masters as terrifying as the man in front of him!

Yang Fangyu's heart sank. Not only him, but Bai Yuan and Liao Zhong had also been found by their opponents and were fighting fiercely.

the other side.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to follow the demon cavalry into the forest, he was surrounded by four men in black robes.

Compared with Yang Fangyu and Liao Zhong, his treatment was undoubtedly more luxurious. In order to kill him, the Soul-Chasing Tower dispatched half of its masters to deal with him.

This is enough to prove his level of danger in the eyes of the Soul-Chasing Tower.

Bai Yuan looked at the three men in black robes in front of him and his heart sank.

This time, the Soul-Chasing Tower dispatched hundreds of its killers. Such a large-scale deployment was unprecedented, and they had made sufficient preparations for the robbery and murder.

The three Soul-Chasing Tower masters worked in perfect harmony and surrounded Bai Yuan in three directions.

Then they took action almost at the same moment.

The iron chains, soft swords, and long knives all attacked Bai Yuan's vital points.

Bai Yuan's eyes were cold.

An invisible gas had quietly enveloped the four men in black robes.
