Chapter 207: Entry
On the other side, Xi Bai and the others were still on the road, I don't know if it was the safety of the official road, or what was going on, anyway, they didn't encounter a single attack in the past two days, and there were no robbers and robbers.
And after two days of cultivation, Xi Bai's injury was completely healed, and what made him even happier was that he tried to hit the first acupuncture point on the Zusanyin Sutra, and the result really made him break through, which also meant that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a first-class master.
If he hadn't been busy with this dart mission, Xi Bai couldn't wait to devote himself to cultivation immediately. But even so, because there is nothing left and right, and he can also cultivate on the back of Chiyun, Xi Bai cultivates on horseback during the day and at the inn at night, as if he has fallen into a demon.
After Long Xingyun's attack, Xi Bai no longer wore a mask, and those proud players were surprised to see Xi Bai, who ranked first on the knight list, actually being here, and many people also wanted to come and take a look, but seeing Xi Bai's crazy cultivation method, they all dispelled their thoughts.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, after all, I am the number one player on the knight list! It is different from ordinary people, and many players who are proud of themselves have also begun to follow Xi Bai's example of cultivation, which suddenly brought a wave of cultivation, but their mounts are naturally incomparable to Chiyun, and they can't let them practice while they are in a hurry.
Ao Zhan originally felt that although he was the leader of a gang, he usually did not relax his cultivation, and he could even be said to be very hard, which was also the reason why he could become the third on the list of knights, although he did not say it, he was still very proud. However, after seeing Xi Bai's cultivation method, he also had to bow down, and felt that the reason why Xi Bai was the first on the list of chivalrous guests was not unreasonable.
On the fourth day after Xi Bai and their departure from the capital, as usual, everyone had eaten at noon, and after resting, they set off again, and Xi Bai was also ready to continue cultivating, he felt that as long as he was given three more days, he could try to hit the second acupuncture point on the Three Yin Sutras. Now Xi Bai's primary goal is to become a first-class master, watching one acupuncture point after another be broken, Xi Bai has a great sense of achievement, which is a thing that makes him physically and mentally happy.
It's just that just when he was about to enter the cultivation state, he suddenly saw Ao Zhan riding a horse and leaning towards him.
"Is there something wrong with Brother Ao?" Xi Bai had to stop and ask.
"Hey, hey! Brother Xi Bai is really hardworking! My brother is ashamed of himself! But it's not like I'm talking brother, although practice is important, but it also has to be a combination of work and rest, you are careful to go crazy sooner or later. Ao Zhan said with a smile.
"What Brother Ao said is that I also know this, and it will be fine." Xi Bai nodded and replied, but obviously had no intention of giving up on continuing to practice. Although Ao Zhan is reasonable, he is now only bent on becoming a first-class master, because becoming a first-class master is too much for him, and he feels that a first-class master is a hurdle, and only by stepping over, many different things will happen. And many of his things now must be done only after he becomes a first-class master, such as going to the mountain gate of the Tianji Gate, and using the silver-level secret key.
"In that case, then the elder brother doesn't say much, the elder brother's strength is much higher than mine, and these are naturally better than me." Ao Zhan changed his words and continued: "But I will soon be in the territory of the Song Kingdom, and I may have to check it later, and there will be many noisy people at that time, which will inevitably affect your practice, brother, it is not too late to enter the Great Song Dynasty and practice again!" ”
Xi Bai raised his eyebrows, although he also knew that the destination of this dart mission was Xixia, but he would pass through the territory of the Great Song Dynasty halfway, but he didn't expect that he would need to check it when he passed by, and looking at Ao Zhan's appearance, it seemed that something would happen, otherwise he would not have specifically told him.
Thinking like this, Xi Bai nodded: "Then I'll listen to Brother Ao, it just so happens that I'm tired from practicing for the past two days, so it's time to take a rest." ”
"Haha, that's it, brother, please rest assured, that is, routine inspections, there is generally nothing wrong, and when you enter the Great Song Dynasty, your brother can continue to cultivate."
Ao Zhan patted Xi Bai's shoulder and laughed, but the more Ao Zhan explained this, the more Xi Bai felt that the other party wanted to cover up, but the more he felt that something was about to happen.
Since Xi Bai couldn't cultivate, he looked at the surrounding situation a little bored, and found that there were still many pedestrians on the official road, and many of them were dart cars like them, and it seemed that this was the way to enter the Great Song Dynasty from the capital.
After walking for nearly an hour, there were more and more people in front of them, and their speed slowed down. Xi Bai raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see a small pass in the distance, this pass was not big, and the defense was not strong, it was only about twenty meters high from a distance, and there were no ballistas or other city protection equipment found on the pass. Probably because all the caravans from here are from the capital, so they don't need much protection.
It's just that although this pass is small, there are uneven hills on both sides, the road is impassable, and the carriage can't pass at all, which means that if you want to enter the Great Song Dynasty, you can only pass through this pass.
The pedestrians in front of them are getting slower and slower, because they have to be inspected if they want to enter the customs, and they are lining up one by one, and the speed is naturally slow. Xi Bai inadvertently glanced at Ao Zhan, and found that the other party's eyes were a little erratic, looking at the soldiers who were inspecting with some apprehension.
Xi Bai shook his head, it seemed that something might happen later, but since he was already here, he would only talk about it then.
Soon, it will be their turn. Xi Bai also took a closer look at this pass, in front of him was a city wall made of blue bricks, the two gates were open at the moment, and more than a dozen soldiers in front of the gate were checking the people entering the pass one by one, but it was just a casual look, Xi Bai couldn't figure out what would happen in such a place.
When it was their turn, one of the soldiers glanced at their convoy and snorted, "Where are you from?" Where are you going? What's in the box? ”
This soldier's attitude is not very good, but everyone will not care about an NPC, probably the system is set up like this, after all, in the eyes of these soldiers, they are the ones who move the darts to act according to their eyes.
Ao Zhan got off his horse early, took two steps forward and said: "This soldier, we are from the capital, and the boxes are full of porcelain and other general goods, and the destination is Western Xia." ”
The soldier leader squinted at Ao Zhan, waved his hand, and said, "Check it for me to see if there are any forbidden items." ”
In fact, this was originally a routine business, and those soldiers just looked at it casually, and besides, there were no forbidden items now!
Hearing the words of the leader, five or six soldiers walked towards their carriage, and Ao Zhan's face sank when he saw this.
The soldiers opened a box and saw that it was full of celadon vases and other things, just like Ao Zhan said, but they didn't intend to end there, but continued to walk towards the box behind.
Ao Zhan's face was very ugly, suddenly his eyes rolled, and the next moment he had changed to a smiling face, he suddenly took the arm of the soldier leader, approached the other party's ear and said something. The leader of the soldiers was startled by Ao Zhan's sudden movements, but the next moment after hearing Ao Zhan's words, he was suddenly stunned.
Then he felt that he had something more in his hand, and then his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly put the thing away, and then looked at Xiang Xiang, and when he was proud of the battle, he was already kind and pleasant, and his attitude was very different from just now.
"Okay, no need to check, when are so many boxes going to be checked! There are such people in the back! Don't stand in the way here, let's get in! ”
The leader of the soldiers waved his hand at the five or six soldiers, and when the five or six soldiers heard this, they stopped and stood where they were.
"Thank you, I'll invite you to drink when you come back." Ao Zhan was also in a good mood, and said to the soldier leader with a smile.
The soldier leader smiled even more, patted Ao Zhan's shoulder and said, "Hehe, it's not easy for you, you have to be worried along the way, just remember to pass here next time." ”
Ao Zhan said yes again and again, and then a group of people entered the pass.
Xi Bai saw what had just happened very clearly on the side, and he saw that the thing that Ao Zhan handed to the soldier leader emitted a silver light, which was clearly silver! And the weight is not light, which also makes him even more curious, Ao Zhan actually did such a thing as bribery, in order to avoid this routine inspection? What's in that box?
After entering the customs, Xi Bai found that Ao Zhan looked like a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and when Hao Ao Zhan also looked at him, he saw Xi Bai looking at him with a smile.
"Brother Ao, it seems that you should explain the situation to me just now, and you don't seem to have told me what the goods are this time!" Xi Bai and Ao Zhan walked side by side, but said with interest.
Ao Zhan was silent for a moment, and then seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Xi Bai with a resolute face: "Brother Xi Bai, don't be careful, it's just that this matter is too big, and the less people know, the better, and I didn't mean to hide it from my brother." Then the conversation changed: "But my brother has torn his face with the world for this dart this time, and if my brother hides it again, it will be too much to say." ”
Xi Bai's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, but waited for Ao Zhan's next explanation.
Ao Zhan first looked left and right, but saw that he didn't notice them, so he pulled Xi Bai to the carriage in the middle, and after inspecting the left and right again, Ao Zhan carefully opened the box on the car, and only opened a crack, and closed it immediately.
Despite this, Xi Bai still saw the contents of the box, and when he saw it clearly, he suddenly gasped, so shocked that he almost screamed, because he clearly saw that the round iron bumps in the box were cannonballs!
