Chapter Twenty-Four: The Massacre

"I'm sorry officer, the flint car to the Jiuguan Ancient Road has left two days ago, and the next one will be five days later. With a hint of apologies, the man from the flint car said to Bai Mei.

The flint car is a means of transportation that the monks and the imperial court in the southern region can come out of, using the flint as an energy source to drive the vehicle forward, and the speed can even reach the speed of the train in Bai Mei's previous life!

Does it take five days? Because the production process of the flint chariot is relatively complicated, and it involves many means that can only be used by monks, the number is not large, and only some cities in the central area of the south have it. And the closest city with flint cars to Jiuluo City is Minghua City, which is more than 400 miles away.

At Bai Mei's current speed, if he rushes with all his strength, it will definitely be faster than waiting here for five days. It's just that...... For the group of black-clothed people who were chased and killed before, Bai Mei has always had palpitations, although he has thrown them off, but Bai Mei always has a bad premonition in his heart.

No, five days is too long. After hesitating for a moment, Bai Mei still decided to venture to Minghua City, the content of the letter entrusted to him by Lei Zishi was too important, and he didn't have much time.

After making up his mind, Bai Mei went to purchase some supplies again, and after a short rest, he left Jiuluo City......

......

In a mountain outside Jiuluo City, a group of black-clothed people sat together in a scattered circle, playing with a ball of constantly transforming flames in their hands, and asked a short-quartered black-clothed man beside him in a deep voice: "San'er, how is the investigation?"

"Almost, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to find this guy's exact location in no time. San'er replied as he burned the strip of cloth on the white eyebrow clothes he had picked up earlier into ashes and sucked it into his nose.

The closed eyes shook quickly for a while, and the three ears opened suddenly: "Found it, good boy, he is so bold, he has come out of Jiuluo City, it looks like ...... I'm going to Minghua City!"

"Minghua City ......" recited the name twice, and the captain said: "It must be that the flintlock of Jiuluo City has already driven away, so he can only go to Minghua City." Let's go!

......

In order to ensure safety, Bai Mei went to Minghua City this time, did not choose to go alone, but chose a caravan ready to go to Minghua City, this group of caravans is not small, and the livestock that consigned the goods are also long-horned black cattle with good foot strength, if the situation is optimistic, it will be able to arrive in Minghua City in two days.

After paying the caravan leader a ride fee, Bai Mei successfully took the ride. Because it was a caravan, it was basically some wagons, and the number of horses was limited, but fortunately, Bai Mei did not pick up, turned over and jumped into a wagon, and lay on it comfortably.

The boss of this group of caravans is surnamed He, everyone calls him Lao He, he is a very kind person, his ancestors are all old people who run the road of Jiuluo City and Minghua City, and he is almost holding a handle on this road, and he has not had much trouble for more than 30 years.

There were also eight guards hired by Lao He in the caravan, all of whom were some foreign masters, and Bai Mei also glanced at him. These guards are all ordinary charlatans who know some martial arts, but they are limited to ordinary people.

However, the head of these eight guards, a man named Dong Yi let Bai Mei take a few more looks, he is eight feet tall, his two arms are about to catch up with Bai Mei's waist, and his breathing is long, and he seems to have practiced some internal exercises, and his eyes are as bright as snow, and ordinary people dare not look at him.

The long caravan could add up to a distance of more than ten meters from the front and back, and eight guards surrounded both sides of the convoy one after another, scanning the wild forest next to the official road from time to time.

The speed of the convoy was not slow, and by noon, even the shadow of Jiuluo City was gone.

With a loud whistle, Lao He ordered the convoy to stop moving forward, drove the convoy to both sides of the road, and the guys of the caravan began to cook together in an orderly manner. The merchants of this world are not as good as the technological era of the previous life, they all rely on the livestock to carry them, but the livestock will also be tired, so generally after walking for half a day, the caravan leader will take the initiative to rest, give the livestock water to drink and feed the grass.

Sitting on the tall black cattle wagon, Bai Mei took out the water bladder and dry food, and sat on the roof of the car to eat. People like Bai Mei who are hitchhiking in a caravan will be encountered in every caravan.

Holding a bowl of steaming broth, Lao He walked to the bottom of the truck where Bai Mei was sitting and smiled: "Little brother, finish drinking the broth." ”

Stretching out his head to look at Lao He, Bai Mei turned over and jumped off the truck directly, took Lao He's broth and thanked: "Okay, thank you Team Leader He." ”

"Don't call me Team Leader He, just call me Lao He. Smiling and waving his hand at Bai Mei, Lao He turned to leave.

Looking at the broth in his hand, Bai Mei turned around and walked to the back of the truck, poured out the whole bowl of broth with a wave of his hand, and did not eat what strangers gave, this is a truth that three-year-old children in their previous lives understand, let alone this world.

After eating and drinking, the people of the caravan sat together and chatted with each other and made fun of each other, they were all companions who had lived and traded together for many years, and had never encountered any danger for this trade route hundreds of times, and it seemed easy and presumptuous for such a journey.

The happiness of mortals is simple and wanton, looking at those caravan guys who laughed, the corners of their white eyebrows and mouths were lightly raised, and then they closed their eyes and became healthy, since they stepped into the cultivation world, it will take half a year to this day. In the past half a year, Bai Mei's combat power has not only mastered the nine swordsmanship, but also forged a six-grade sword weapon. Bai Mei estimated that even if it was a fifth-level Qi cultivation like Mao Wenxuan at this moment, he was somewhat sure that he would be able to win.

But even if this is the case, it is impossible to change the fact that Bai Mei has not made any progress in the past half a year.

Closing his eyes and breathing his true qi, Bai Mei still couldn't understand why he practiced strictly according to the requirements of the Qinglian Treasure Formula, but his cultivation always made no progress at all.

After resting for a while, Lao He once again ordered the caravan to hit the road.

Looking at the white eyebrows sitting on the truck with his eyes closed and not saying a word, Dong Yi, who was walking on both sides of the caravan on horseback, had a flickering eye.

This season, it gets dark quickly. The rules of the caravan are to stop during the day and at night, but the conditions at night are not good, and once there is any emergency, there is no way to respond immediately. Although there has been no problem on this road, but being careful makes the 10,000-year-old ship, and the merchant's cautious heart still makes Lao He always abide by this old saying.

After setting up the camp tent, cooking and washing, the caravan that had been walking for a day felt a little tired after a busy day, and plunged into the camp tent, snoring.

And Dong Yi's group of guards also slept one after another after arranging for the two to keep vigil.

Night, dark and quiet

The caravan guys, who were accustomed to this kind of rushing life, slept very deeply......

In the dark forest, a few shadows that blended with the night quietly came here, looking at the white eyebrows sitting on the truck, a touch of murder quietly bloomed!

"Who!" In the dark night, Bai Mei opened his eyes suddenly, and with a loud shout, he woke up all the people who were sleeping.

Just now, when Bai Mei was contemplating his breath, the stubborn sword beside Bai Mei suddenly trembled, and a breath that made Bai Mei's back spine cool suddenly appeared.

Sonorous!

The stubborn sword was unsheathed, and the white eyebrows held the sword and looked at the line of defense with murderous aura floating in, his eyes solemn.

The caravan, which was awakened by Bai Mei's loud shout, hurriedly lit a torch, and under the bright firelight, six black shadows of different shapes slowly jumped down.

Lifting the hood on his head, the man with three oblique scars on his face walked towards Bai Mei with his head held high, and looked his eyes up and down: "Yao Feng, you killed you?"

Looking at the scarred man, Bai Mei was silent, six people, four Qi training three layers, and two Bai Mei looked out of the depth, obviously higher than Bai Mei's cultivation.

"Are you from the Yin Earth?" asked without answering the question, staring at the scar man with white eyebrows.

The corners of his mouth raised with evil intent, and the scar man turned his head to the few people behind him: "Get rid of these eyesore first." ”

"Run!" Before he could shout, the dazzling blood light had already bloomed in Bai Mei's eyes.

The monk's complete crushing of mortals made everyone in the caravan slaughtered like chickens!

"How did you find me?" looked at the scar man with cold eyes, and said with white eyebrows that he was careless, when he was in Qingshi Town before, Lu Fang had used a touch of breath to find the location of Landlord Cui.

But these people Bai Mei had never had direct contact with him at all, so Bai Mei thought that these people could no longer find him through this method!

The brutal slaughter began ferociously and ended quickly.

Soon, the originally harmonious camp was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, with corpses lying on the ground all over the ground, and Lao He, who was nailed to a truck by a branch, looked at Bai Mei without looking at it, and the residual gaze in his eyes made Bai Mei unable to look directly.

The inhuman slaughter made Bai Mei come to this world and feel this hysterical anger for the first time.

A mouthful of steel teeth bit secretly, and the white eyebrows beckoned to the scar man: "If you want to catch me, come on!"
