539. Chapter 539 Han Xue (1/2)
Just when Xiao Yan's thoughts were in a mess, he suddenly heard a sound of hooves coming from afar. Everyone looked in that direction and saw a caravan of Warcraft beasts that looked like merchants coming towards them, which made Xiao Yan very excited.
After arriving in Zhongzhou, he finally saw a living person!
The Warcraft beast caravan was getting closer and closer. Looking around, there were nearly ten third-level Warcraft Iron-horned Rhinos pulling goods. The leader was a girl with long silver-white hair and a pretty face riding a white horse. Just by looking at her face, you can tell that she has a cold personality.
I don't know if it was Xiao Yan's illusion, but he always felt that the girl looked familiar.
But anyway, he finally met someone, and Xiao Yan also stood in front of the caravan and waved.
"Huh——"
The leading girl pulled the reins to stop the horse, and raised her hand to signal the convoy behind her to stop. Her azure eyes looked at Xiao Yan and others, and when she saw the stunning appearance of Cai Lin and others, she couldn't help but show a look of amazement in her eyes, and finally fixed her eyes on Xiao Yan's face, which was very ordinary compared to them.
So what is the coffin on his back?
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then spoke coldly.
"Who are you? Why did you stop our convoy?"
"I'm really sorry to delay your journey." Xiao Yan clasped his hands and said softly: "We just arrived here. We got lost because we are not familiar with this area. I beg this lady to show us the direction."
The leading girl frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Yan's sincere eyes, she didn't find any signs of lying, and she was slightly relieved in her heart.
After all, this road is really not very peaceful. When Xiao Yan just hugged them, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that they would encounter robbers. Listening to Xiao Yan's words, she was just asking for directions.
But even if they really blocked the road, he was not afraid. Seeing that Xiao Yan and the others did not reveal any aura, they should be just ordinary people. Not to mention that he was a three-star Dou Wang, there were also many strong people among his guards, which was enough to deal with it.
"We are now heading to Tianbei City and will arrive tomorrow. If you don't mind, you can go with the convoy."
The girl said this. She was not a cold and heartless person. For strangers who had no ill intentions and did not involve her own danger, she was still willing to lend a hand.
Xiao Yan showed a happy expression and thanked him.
"If the lady doesn't mind, we will be happy."
The girl nodded lightly and turned to look at a middle-aged man behind her.
"Uncle Han Chong, make a van for these ladies."
"Yes."
Han Chong responded and turned to execute the order, and then the girl turned to look at Xiao Yan.
"As for you, as a man, it shouldn't be too much to help carry things as a reward for your companionship, right?"
"Of course."
Xiao Yan smiled, and then Han Chong arranged for Cai Lin and others to get on a van, and Xiao Yan handed the coffin to Cai Lin for safekeeping. Before getting on the car, Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan looked at her, and she also read Xiao Yan's meaning from his eyes.
They could have asked for directions and left directly, but since they had just arrived in Zhongzhou, it would be better not to attract too much attention, and they were not in a hurry for the time being.
Understanding Xiao Yan's meaning, Cai Lin nodded silently, and then got on the van.
The girl saw the interaction between Xiao Yan and Cai Lin, and also realized that the relationship between the two was unusual, but she didn't ask much, anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet." Xiao Yan looked at the girl and said softly: "My name is Xiao Yan, please take care of me."
The girl looked at Xiao Yan in silence for a long time, and said coldly.
"Han Xue." Han Xue glanced at Han Chong, "Go with Uncle Han Chong, he will tell you what to do."
Xiao Yan nodded and walked towards Han Chong. Han Chong jumped off his horse and smiled kindly.
"Little brother, just go with my brothers to transport goods." Han Chong patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't be too burdened by what my young lady said. My young lady is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She just doesn't like others to get something for nothing."
"Uncle Han Chong, that's not the case. I am very grateful for your willingness to give us a ride. It is natural for me to help."
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Han Chong nodded calmly, and was very satisfied with Xiao Yan's character. Then he led him to the back of the convoy to help transport goods. Xiao Yan also glanced at Han Xue's back and frowned slightly.
Han Chong, who was standing aside, saw Xiao Yan's eyes fixed on Han Xue. Not only was he not angry, but he joked happily.
"What's wrong, little brother Xiao Yan? Are you attracted to my young lady?"
This is because Han Chong saw that there was no lustful intention in Xiao Yan's eyes. Otherwise, let alone such teasing, his impression of Xiao Yan would have dropped to the bottom.
"Ah, no." Xiao Yan came back to his senses and realized that it was impolite to stare at others. He scratched his hair embarrassedly, "I just feel like I have seen Miss Han Xue somewhere."
"Hahaha~ Little brother, your pick-up words have been around for a long time. No one uses them anymore. Besides, I think the young ladies you brought with you are no worse than my young lady. Why bother to pick up on them?"
Hearing Han Chong's words, Xiao Yan just laughed dryly twice and did not respond.
Han Xue looked at Xiao Yan's back as he left with Han Chong, and her dark eyebrows were slightly raised.
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan
Han Xue murmured this name repeatedly in her heart. She always felt like she had heard it from someone.
Han Xue then shook her head lightly, no longer thinking deeply, holding the reins with one hand, and raised and waved the other hand, giving orders to the team loudly.
"Keep going!"
The convoy moved forward again, pulling goods with other Han family guards at the back of the convoy. With his sincere character, he easily got acquainted with everyone. Xiao Yan also learned the identity of this convoy from them.
The Han family caravan in Tianbei City, led by Han Xue, is the second daughter of the Han family.
(I remember that Tianbei City is in a relatively remote place in Zhongzhou.)
Xiao Yan thought about it in his heart, and felt a little respect for Han Xue. As the second daughter, she actually led the family caravan in person. It seems that Han Xue is not the kind of weak and pampered daughter.
The car continued to move forward. As time passed, it was dusk. Han Xue glanced at the surrounding environment and ordered the convoy to stop again, pack up and set up camp to prepare for the night.
In the evening, Han Xue and Cai Lin and other women sat around the campfire, while Xiao Yan sat in another place with Han Chong and others. It was at this time that Han Xue had the opportunity to introduce herself to Cai Lin and others.
"Ah? He is your husband?"
Hearing Cai Lin's self-introduction, Han Xue was stunned. She turned her head to look at Xiao Yan, who looked ordinary and was chatting happily with Han Chong and others. Then she looked at Cai Lin, who was dozens of times more dazzling than her. She couldn't help but frowned, and her eyes also revealed doubts.
What did Cai Lin like about Xiao Yan? The two of them standing together don't look like a good match, okay?
Of course, Han Xue would only think about such rude words in her mind and would never say them out loud.
Zi Yun and Zi Yan didn't care what Han Xue and Cai Lin were talking about. The big and the small were concentrating on eating. Yao Tianhuo was sitting leisurely in front of the campfire, and he didn't mean to eat, which made Han Xue look at her strangely.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Oh, don't worry about me, I don't need to eat." Yao Tianhuo responded softly. She is now a soul body with fire as her body, so naturally she doesn't need to eat.
But there is no need to explain this to Han Xue.
When Han Xue heard Yao Tianhuo's words, her brows frowned even tighter.
It feels that Xiao Yan and his group are very strange, full of incoordination, although there is no sense of malice.
On the other hand, Han Chong also learned from Xiao Yan about the relationship between Cai Lin and him. He was surprised that Xiao Yan, who looked ordinary, could marry such a beautiful wife.
"Little brother Xiao Yan, I'm not saying anything to you. How can a man travel around with his wife? What's more, your wife is so beautiful. What if she meets someone with bad intentions?"
Han Chong couldn't help but say this, and the other guards nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan did not argue, but scratched his face with some shame.
At this moment, Cai Lin's cold voice suddenly came, accompanied by her cold eyes.
"I want to follow him, do you have any objections?"
Seeing Cai Lin's golden vertical pupils, Han Chong felt a sudden chill in his heart, and was very afraid. He tensed up and shook his head and waved his hands. Cai Lin snorted coldly and turned his eyes back.
Han Chong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Xiao Yan's ear.
"Hey, little brother, your wife seems to be difficult to get along with."
"Haha."
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, but he couldn't refute it. Cai Lin's personality is like this. Most people really can't get along with her. If they are not careful, they will offend her. Xiao Yan is used to it.
After dinner, they chatted for a while. Cai Lin and others followed Han Xue back to the tent to rest, while Xiao Yan slept in the tent on the other side with other guards.
After a night, at dawn, Han Chong clapped his hands and shouted, and everyone got up and packed their things and set off again.
Near noon, a deserted canyon with overlapping layers appeared in front of the convoy. Han Xue frowned and turned her head to shout to everyone.
"Enter the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge immediately, everyone keep quiet, don't alarm that guy!"
After Han Xue gave an order, the people who were chatting shut up, and the whole convoy suddenly became much quieter.
After seeing this situation, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to look at Han Chong.
"Uncle Han Chong, who is that guy?"
"Little brother, you haven't been here so you don't know. This Wanshe Gorge is the only way for merchants in Tianbei City. It was originally an unowned land, but a few years ago, a demon snake named Xia Mang suddenly appeared and occupied this place." Han Chong's face was a little ugly, and he explained in a deep voice, "Although it is only a low-level Douhuang, it can control poisonous snakes below the fourth level. Caravans passing through here must pay tolls, otherwise they will not leave alive."
"So domineering"
Xiao Yan frowned, and Han Chong continued.
"And that guy also took the demon pill, which not only improved his intelligence but also got rid of his human form."
(Demon pill?)
Xiao Yan was a little confused when he heard this unfamiliar word, and Yao Chen gave an explanation in his heart.
(The lower-level pill of the Transformation Pill, after eating it, the monsters look like humans but not humans, but like monsters but not monsters. It is a useless pill that basically no one would refine. I don’t know which weirdo has nothing to do and developed it.)
Hearing Yao Chen’s unceremonious contemptuous look, Xiao Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that it was the first time he heard Yao Chen call someone he had never seen a weirdo. It can be seen how useless this demon transformation pill is.
At this time, Han Chong’s eyes revealed disgust and said to Xiao Yan.
“Brother Xiao Yan should have never seen a snake demon in human form? That is really ugly. It’s disgusting to look at it for a second.”
“.”
Xiao Yan’s eyebrows trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly. He couldn’t help but look at the van in front of him where Cai Lin was riding.
A snake demon in human form. Is it ugly?
Just then, Cai Lin's face popped out of the window of the van and glanced at Han Chong coldly, causing Han Chong's heart to tighten suddenly and his mind to be in a mess.
No? How did I offend you? ? ?
Xiao Yan also saw the cold look that Cai Lin cast at Han Chong, and felt helpless.
Obviously, Cai Lin had heard Han Chong's words clearly, which made Her Majesty the Queen very unhappy.
The Han family guards followed Han Xue's instructions and carefully escorted the convoy through the canyon, and the pace was obviously slowed down. The journey that was supposed to take 20 minutes had not been completed for 40 minutes. The originally clear weather was also covered with a layer of dark clouds, and there was also a faint thunder in the clouds.
Finally, Han Xue, who was at the front, saw the exit. Looking at the light coming in from outside the canyon, joy was inevitably revealed in her cold eyes.
As long as they got out of the canyon, they would reach Tianbei City in another hour.
However, just when Han Xue was about to relax, there was a dense crawling sound suddenly coming from the surrounding canyon. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of poisonous snakes fell from the canyon and blocked the canyon exit tightly, making Han Xue's face extremely ugly in an instant.
Turning around, the convoy was also surrounded by poisonous snakes of various sizes and shapes. A harsh sound that sounded very uncomfortable echoed in the canyon.
"Hehehe~ A bunch of idiots, actually want to slip away from under my nose?"
As the voice fell, a nearly four-meter-tall black figure stood above the canyon, with narrow pupils revealing insidiousness and cunning, and scales all over his body. His hands and claws flashed with a terrifying cold light. He was a giant snake with long arms and legs that could walk upright.
Demon snake, Xia Mang.
"Hehehe~ You should know the rules of this lord, right?"
Xia Mang spit out his snake tongue and swept the convoy below him, with greed in his eyes.
Han Chong's face was gloomy. He rode to the front of the convoy, breathed a sigh of relief, put on a reluctant smile, and took out the ring he had prepared in advance.
"Commander Xia, we are the Han family's convoy. Please accept this small gift."
There was no way. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The Han family had sent people to deal with Xia Mang before, but this snake was very cunning. It would run away directly at the slightest danger, which really made people helpless.
Xia Mang looked at Han Chong, waved his hand and grabbed the ring in his hand, and laughed uncomfortably.
"Okay, okay, it seems that you are quite sensible."
Hearing Xia Mang's words, Han Chong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Then Commander Xia, can you let us go?"
"It's okay to let you go, but..." Xia Mang's eyes flashed with a trace of evil, and his sharp claws pointed at Han Xue, "That girl, you have to stay with me." (End of this chapter)
