23. The Charming Swordsman (Part 1)

Remember it in one second.\[End Ben Shen Station\]. Mobile phone users enter the address: m.xinwanben.com

The mountain road is rugged, but it happened to be raining and snowing today, making the ground slippery and muddy.

It hinders the footsteps of pedestrians and also hinders the footsteps of ‘theirs’.

This is a caravan.

Not only does it look like this, but it is actually the same.

This group of people set off from Huzhou and were going to Chuyu, a city belonging to our dynasty in southern Xinjiang. They had an agreement with a trading house in Xiuyu City to transport a batch of goods in exchange for spices, pearls, and seashells from southern Xinjiang. The amount of goods reached ten carts, which is staggering. But it's also easy to understand.

Who doesn't know that transporting goods to southern Xinjiang is a huge profit. One tael of goods can be exchanged for twelve taels of spices, which is a double profit. But in southern Xinjiang, the sky is high and the roads are far away. There is a deep miasma in that place. There are also savages who drink blood like hair. Nine out of ten who go there never come back. Unless it is a large business that can afford to hire a famous escort agency, it cannot afford to take this risk.

I have to admire the boldness of these people.

This group of people was not large, only about sixty people in total. For a caravan, it's not too much. But in terms of goods, it seems a bit less. There are also several horse-drawn carriages. A dozen men on horseback looked around the truck, obviously they were all practicing men. A few ordinary people might not even be able to get up close.

Passers-by sometimes looked at them and quickly lowered their heads, too scared to breathe.

Judging from the depth of the rut marks, this should be a batch of silk tea leaves and daily necessities, and there should be a lot of gold and silver. You must know that southern Xinjiang did not recognize coins minted in the Central Plains in ancient times, but gold and silver were currencies they also circulated. As a merchant in the Central Plains, banknotes are far safer and more convenient. These people took such a large amount of gold and silver on the road. If they were not going to a foreign land, there was no other possibility.

Even if you ask the most skilled thief to take a look, he will definitely analyze it like this.

But if they knew who was sitting in this caravan, their eyes would probably fall out of fear.

This convoy of about sixty people is exactly the convoy that the emperor travels with today.

After Huzhou decided to set off for southern Xinjiang, the emperor spent another day resting and reorganizing his troops and making full preparations. He only set off from Canhu Town three days ago.

Don't look at it, this is a small caravan, and there is still a team of thousands of people behind it to protect it.

When Long Zaitian's affairs at Luojian Villa came to an end, he received the holy order to select eight hundred guards from the Qilin Guards to accompany him on his trip. Long Zai Tian knew that it would not be as simple as taking the road back to Beijing, so he flew to Beiguan and asked the commander-in-chief to send people. The road to Beiguan was far away, but the eight hundred guards set out the next day. It still took twenty days for Pegasus to arrive.

But these eight hundred people are all elite soldiers and brave generals who are good at concealing their whereabouts. They can "fly to the sea, swim in the sky, and fight ligers and tigers on land. They are warriors who have followed the Qilin Guards to guard the northern border and survived in the bitter cold. If they are put in The establishment of the imperial warriors all meet the qualifications of Class B warriors. There are no fewer than forty people with strength comparable to Long Zaitian. The most important thing is that there are huge beasts in northern Xinjiang that are as big as spirits. People on the frontier. These warriors are all people who have experience fighting strange beasts. Although Long Zaitian doesn't know why, in the eyes of the emperor, they are a precious group of combat power.

They quietly concealed their whereabouts and kept close contact with the caravan. Whenever something happens to the emperor, magical weapons will descend from the sky and become the emperor's shield and sword.

There are also two hundred warriors on the king's side, some of whom accompany him for protection, some of whom are spies responsible for delivering communications with the imperial court, and some of whom are responsible for the emperor's daily life and food. They are responsible for maintaining the functions of the large army and serving as forward sentries in exploring the way forward. The emperor is on the road this time under the banner of a caravan. Although no one with superb martial arts skills will target him, bandits and bandits are inevitable. Especially after leaving the land of Jiangnan Baiwang, there were so many thieves along the way. Without an intelligence force, it is really difficult to move forward.

As for the main convoy, there is a group of elite soldiers who are extremely mobile and can adapt to any difficult situation. It was the Rangers led by Alples.

The organization of Guixiao's group has undergone tremendous changes since the Battle of Huzhou. On that day, Luo Ming massacred wantonly, killing almost all the brothers who had been brought into the country by Alples, except for the hundreds of people who escaped. The Guixiao group is divided into four banners, and their subordinates are led by four banner leaders. Those killed by Luo Ming that day were all soldiers directly under Abulus, as well as demons and demons. As for the subordinates of the Demon and the Snake God, they did not have time to participate in the battle and survived because they were part of the assassination and intelligence forces.

While recuperating in Huzhou, Alples gathered all his remaining men and reorganized them into a team. This team is small in number, only about 200 people, but they basically have all the functions of fighting. The Snake God's intelligence team was far more loyal to Alples than their banner master, and their obedience was quite good. But the center of combat capability still relies on the hundred people Ming Feizhen let go that day. These people are all true members of Alples, and their fighting ability is outstanding. With Alples personally commanding his subordinates, morale was even higher.

The problem lies in the assassination team of dozens of people in the seven-character team with the slogan "I am in charge of killing but not burying". The result of years of being trained by the sprite is her bottomless obedience, even to the point where the sprite's orders take precedence over Alples's orders. In the past, monsters were quite obedient.

The four banner lords of the ghosts, the cow ghosts have been killed for their rebellion, and the snake gods have been arrested and are still in prison. The ghosts who can be used are Alan, whom Albus loves the most, and he is in an embarrassing situation where no one can use him.

Although the Demonic One has the best preserved strength, she once betrayed Alples, and neither she nor her men would tolerate the ghostly group of warriors. The strange thing is that after seeing the demon again, Alples didn't act like a monster.

Set up a killer. Not even any special treatment. It's an unresolved matter.

Let’s talk about the lineup of the emperor’s caravan. Because of Luo Ming's experience, the protection around the emperor was strengthened again and again.

Apart from anything else, it was just the people in the emperor's carriage.

Tie Hanyi, who was proficient in the world of martial arts, and Ye Luo, who was accustomed to being his partner, were responsible for taking care of the emperor's daily life and food, as well as daily safety inspections, and still stayed by the emperor's side. No one disputes this. Tie Hanyi himself can not only fight, but also resist being hit, and can also act as a shield to protect the emperor at critical moments. Ye Luoze has excellent eyesight and can see things that others cannot.

Long Zaitian has performed well every time in Huzhou. He is calm-minded and quick to respond. The most important thing is that he is truly loyal to the emperor and the country, and brave and courageous. Afterwards, the emperor rewarded him and reinstated him. Not only did he resume his position as deputy commander of the Qilin Guard and chief of the palace guard with a sword, but now he was also given the position of temporary deputy military advisor, responsible for mobilizing combat troops in and out. It is a great honor to be able to lead the emperor to give orders during battle. Now the horse is galloping slowly and majestically, Wen Zhengming's little fan whistles loudly in the winter, and he feels like he deserves a beating.

The most critical position was that he was personally responsible for the emperor's safety and would not leave for twelve hours. After the emperor met him by chance in Huzhou, he dragged Lai Jingzhenlai away and refused to let him go.

Lai Guoshi originally wanted to use the excuse of returning to Purple Holy Mountain to resign from the Queen Mother, but he is crazy and has a bad memory, so this excuse has not been used until now. Although he is half crazy and half stupid, his martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. With him around, it would be difficult for casual people to even approach him.

Dugu, who was originally responsible for the emperor's safety, finally recovered from his injuries with the help of Ming Feizhen from time to time. He has a refined temperament and high martial arts skills. He was responsible for standing one foot away from the emperor to observe potential dangers, and to eradicate them immediately if he noticed them. This is something that the crazy and highly skilled Lai Guoshi cannot do.

Bai Laimu was entrusted by the emperor to do something, and temporarily left the team to return to Beijing. He was not in the team at the moment.

As for the Six Gates, Shen Yiren, as the most trusted person by the emperor and who knew most of the inside story, was appointed by the emperor to be the main person involved in planning the southern Xinjiang countermeasures. As the only available subordinate at present, Su Xiao follows Shen Yiren and is responsible for serving tea and water to her boss, making fun and laughing with her. She is quite talented at what she does, and is praised by Shen Yiren all the time.

As for driving the emperor's carriage, it was the ghostly thief Alples himself who took charge. The emperor originally objected strongly, but this position is the best position to see the overall situation. Alples can respond to any situation in time, and secondly, it can also become the first line of defense to protect the emperor, so he refused. Ci. The emperor had no choice but to let him drive the carriage. But he asked a maid to accompany him and express his feelings. (The poor maid was kicked down by the demon in less than an hour. If she did it herself, that would be another story.)

In the other carriages were brought doctors, chefs, and craftsmen.

Since women are rarely seen in caravans, Shen Yiren, Ye Luo and Su Xiao are quite eye-catching, so they pretend to be the family members of the caravan owner. In order to conceal their identity, several more women were added to the car to accompany them. ,

Compared with when they set off from the capital in a hurry, the strength of the emperor's troops can be said to have been greatly improved.

But what is different from before is that the emperor's combat power has been greatly improved in addition to his own troops. We also got two strong foreign aids.

One was Alples' help.

Alples is willing to follow - to southern Xinjiang this time. It can be said to be a great joy. Not to mention how powerful the ghost warriors under his command will be under his personal command. Alples himself was a huge help.

Who is Abulus? Not only is his military power at the level of the Ten Supreme Saints, but his intelligence is also beyond the reach of ordinary people. With his many years of experience and vision as a bandit in northern Xinjiang, the evil tricks in the rivers and lakes are not worth mentioning at all. In addition, he once staged an incident in Northern Xinjiang and led his troops to take down the head of the late king of Tie Zhen Kingdom. He was an extremely talented person. He could figure out how many people were suitable for marching and how much food and grass he needed to bring with him in a moment.

The caravan format this time was also designed by him, and the disguise was perfect. No matter how experienced you are, it’s hard to tell the difference between fiction and reality.

The Luo family had never suffered any loss of vitality during this God Refining Meeting. The emperor's punishment has not yet been issued, and there are still seven or eight points of strength left.

--This still takes into account the loss of Luo Ming, otherwise the strength is almost never lost.

After the discussion between Luo Yan and Luo Siming, Luojian Villa presented a batch of high-quality soldiers and armors to the emperor and others before they left Huzhou. The equipment of the emperor's thousand-man team was qualitatively improved. Even the warriors beside the emperor each received excellent soldiers forged by Luojian Villa.

The Luo family itself also dispatched a team of a thousand people to take a different route and agreed with the emperor to meet up before entering southern Xinjiang.

Luo Siming himself, his sister Luo Mingzhu, and two famous Hanmei swordsmen, Aoxue and Yishu, who survived the tiger's death at the hands of Mr. An, also joined the caravan. Luo Siming and Yishu pretended to be craftsmen. Although Luo Siming's sword-making skills are not up to the level of a master craftsman, he is still the young master of Luojian Villa who has been exposed to it all his life. He can make swords at will far better than ordinary craftsmen, so he is qualified. Luo Mingzhu and Aoxue stayed with the female relatives.

The emperor naturally understood what they meant.

Because among this convoy, there was a carriage with only two cages in it. One pretends to be Luo Ming, and the other pretends to be Tang Ye, who is responsible for guarding Luo Ming.

The brothers and sisters did not come here to save Luo Ming.

But they know that maybe this is their last chance to see their father again.

Ming Feizhen didn't come, saying he had something to do. Although the emperor didn't know, Shen Yiren said calmly that he should have returned to the capital. When I spoke, I was calm and gentle, but I don’t know why.

The Emperor felt a chill and stopped asking any more questions.

The journey to southern Xinjiang is long, and they have agreed to meet up before entering southern Xinjiang no matter what.

The last place before entering southern Xinjiang is the last city on our southern border - Laeryu.

As soon as Mingjun, we will meet again at Xiuyu.

*********

"Not bad.

The emperor reviewed his troops again and expressed his satisfaction. The smile on his face made him smile from ear to ear.

The quality of the equipment provided by Luojian Villa is surprisingly good. Even though the emperor is used to seeing fine products, he is not used to seeing his subordinates dressed so well every day. I looked at it over and over happily.

The snow is now so heavy that pedestrians are forced to stay in a small village to avoid the snow at night.

With their skills, marching in the face of thunder is not a bad idea. But it's easy to reveal your identity. There is plenty of time now, and there is no need to take risks - said Abeles.

"Master Huang!" Long Zaitian pushed the door open and came in, rubbing his hands and smiling: "All the people you want are here." When he saw that there were people standing outside the door, he saw that this time, almost all the important people on the road were human beings. Everyone is here.

The emperor smiled and said: "Well done, come in.

The room where the emperor is currently located is quite wide and can accommodate dozens of people. This was originally a room in a village, but the servants had a stubborn temper and didn't care about the emperor's large number of people. He yelled and cursed without mercy. But the emperor smiled and presented him with a bundle of silver, and the villagers packed up their bedding and went to the woodshed, feeling very happy.

Everyone entered the room behind Long Zaitian, and there were three rows of people standing there. The emperor chuckled, stroking his beard.

"It's not an important thing to call everyone here. The main thing is... The emperor took out a large thick book from his arms and slapped it on the case. "Since we are going to go on the road, right? This character design It must be set clearly.

Everyone: Come again?!

Apparently because he had never experienced it before, Albus shrugged and said, "It makes sense. Then Mr. Huang, will you be the master of the ---- team?"

"No, this master doesn't necessarily need to be me." The emperor waved his hand and suddenly pulled out a shining snow blade from his waist, smiling brightly with bright eyes.

"I think I can be a fan of people!" The Emperor said.

I would like to recommend Taibai’s Daughter’s book to everyone. "Besieged by saints from the left and right, I just want to cultivate immortality" by Jiujiu Guimiao.

A three-hit combo!
