"Tell the brothers to cheer up!"

"Try to arrive before dawn tomorrow."

Yan Pan took a deep breath and his expression became much more serious.

They were very careful all the way north, fearing any mistakes. They had finally come here after traveling hundreds of miles, and they could not fail.

Yes!

Hundreds of brothers also took a deep breath, with a hint of seriousness and earnestness in their eyes.

They were fully aware of the difficulty of this task.

However, just as everyone was preparing to set off overnight, a series of rapid horse footsteps sounds suddenly came.

Then, behind them, dozens of torches quietly illuminated the night.

This situation caught Yan Pan and others off guard, and their hearts were in their throats.

You know, this is a real wilderness, and you may not see a house within ten miles. But at this time, torches appeared and there were sounds of horses neighing, so it was obvious that things were not simple.

"damn it!"

Cursing inwardly, Yan Pan didn't care about anything else and told everyone to get on with their journey.

After all, every extra day they delayed would mean one extra minute of danger for Zhou Zheng.

Only when he handed over everything he had prepared completely to Zhou Zheng would he feel truly at ease.

Unfortunately, just when everyone had walked forward only three or five miles, they were eventually caught up by the people behind them.

"Stop!"

With a loud shout, a series of rapid arrow sounds resounded through the sky, falling from the sky and finally landing heavily in front of them.

The sudden change made Yan Pan and others feel nervous, and they had to stop what they were doing.

Although they also had horses, it was not difficult for them to leave quickly.

But what they really care about is what they transport.

If you leave these things behind, you won't be able to recover even if you die a hundred times.

Forcibly suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Yan Pan pulled the reins of the horse, stood there and waited quietly.

Sure enough, after dozens of breaths, the sound of hurried horse hooves came closer and closer.

Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that this is not an ordinary horse, but a war horse!

Under the glow of the flames, dozens of fully armed men in armor finally appeared in front of Yan Pan and others.

Is it the elite troops of the imperial court? !

With just one glance, Yan Pan saw through the identities of these people.

Then they were suddenly startled and cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"

Similarly, when these seventy or eighty people looked at Yan Pan and others, there was also vigilance in their eyes.

After all, these are not three or five people, but more than three hundred people.

Ordinary families would not have such a large team. In addition, traveling overnight was already unusual. The most important thing was that the direction they were heading was even more unusual.

"General, we are from the Sky Eagle Caravan, please give us some respect."

Yan Pan was a smart man. He suppressed his inner turmoil and walked quickly to an officer who seemed to be the leader, with a flattering smile on his face.

Then he took out a silver bill from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into the officer's hand.

They had encountered such situations before, and they were able to pass smoothly by paying money and showing the name of the Sky Eagle Caravan.

"Sky Eagle Caravan?!"

Sure enough, when he heard these four words, the leading officer was also stunned, frowned slightly, and spoke thoughtfully.

"That's right, Sky Eagle Caravan, we are all family."

Rubbing his hands, the smile on Yan Pan's face did not diminish in the slightest, and the people around him quickly nodded in agreement.

At this time, the officer obviously saw the amount on the banknote clearly, and this amount made a faint light flash in the depths of his eyes.

Being a general may seem glorious, but in reality the salary is not that good. The key is that even if you go through life and death, you may not necessarily get promoted or get rich.

The silver note Yan Pan took out was enough for his military pay for two years. How could he not be tempted?

"Rules, you know?"

The officers were clearly aware of the principle that if you take money from someone, you should help them get rid of their misfortune.

After he glanced at these people, he nodded to the soldiers behind him.

Yan Pan and others were well aware of this action.

It's nothing more than stabbing the goods with knives or guns to ensure that there are no dangerous items inside.

Sure enough, dozens of soldiers with knives and guns kept stabbing at the cargo.

Yan Pan and others did not stop this. They were already accustomed to it and had made preparations long ago.

These goods were ordinary cotton and cloth, as well as some grain, which were used for normal business.

"My lord, everything is alright."

After a few minutes, the dozen or so soldiers apparently did not notice anything unusual.

"Where's the guide document?!"

The leading officer nodded, then continued to question Yan Pan.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy for businessmen to move from one place to another.

Wherever they go, they need a guide document to prove that the journey is legal.

The larger the team, the more they value the guiding documents.

Only the small vendors are spared from all this trouble.

Fortunately, Rock Climbing was well prepared and quickly handed over the guide documents. He had already been fully prepared for all the formalities and processes, so there was no possibility of any mistakes in this matter.

After taking the guide document, the leading officer looked at it carefully and did not notice anything unusual.

"Master, can we leave now?"

Yan Pan rubbed his hands carefully, with a hint of worry in his heart.

He knew very well that although there seemed to be only a few dozen people here, if nothing unexpected happened, there were at least hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the imperial court behind them.

They must be the imperial court's outposts, specifically used to investigate road conditions.

I just didn't expect to meet them here.

If they don't send the things to Zhou Zheng now, once the war starts, they will definitely have no chance of winning.

"You seem anxious?"

As if seeing through Yan Pan's panic, the officer suddenly narrowed his eyes into slits.

He looked down at her and asked in a low voice.

"Of course not. I'm not afraid of delaying the commander's mission."

Yan Pan's heart tightened and he quickly denied it. At the same time, he took out some silver bills from his hand and handed them to the leading officer.

Obviously, he just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.

But this time, the military commander who had paid the banknotes was a little more cautious.

"You are a clever man."

"It seems that things are going well in the Sky Eagle Caravan."

When he handed over the banknotes the second time, the leading officer smiled, as if he was praising Yan Pan.

However, Yan Pan really had no intention of continuing this conversation and could only respond in a disjointed manner.

But what surprised him was that the officer seemed to be communicating with him politely and normally, but he just wouldn't let them go.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Could it be that he has noticed something and is waiting for reinforcements?

When this thought came to his mind, Yan Pan's heart sank, and a faint sense of danger began to spread behind him.

He knew very well that he could not just sit there and wait for death, nor could he delay any further.

"Master, are you going to let us go?"

Finally, Yan Pan was not ready to talk any more nonsense.

He straightened his chest, and when he looked at the officer in front of him, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Yes, so what?"

With a cold snort, the officer's intuition had already determined that the Sky Eagle Caravan in front of him was a little strange and definitely not simple.

"Did you know that we are the Sky Eagle Caravan?!"

"Behind us is none other than the Prime Minister, the head of all officials today!"

"If you anger the Prime Minister, how many heads do you have left to chop off?"

Yan Pan shouted coldly, changing from being docile just now to being aggressive now.

And these words really frightened many soldiers.

This method worked every time for him. Many people who blocked his way had to let him go when they heard the word "Prime Minister", for fear of offending him.

The method that used to work didn't work this time.

In fact, the next words of the leading officer made Yan Pan feel like he was struck by lightning!

"Is it!?"

"It just so happens that the Prime Minister is here this time as well."

"You, I'm afraid you should take the initiative to visit and ask for instructions."

The officer's voice was calm, but Yan Pan couldn't help but tremble all over.

He never expected that this time the battle would be fought by the Prime Minister himself!
