On the rugged dirt road, there was a small pair of people and horses walking slowly, this was the convoy that Zhuo Yu followed, and they had been away from Snake Village for seven days.

Zhuo Yu left Snake Village for the first time, he specially wore a set of clean and tidy clothes, carrying a burden and a long sword wrapped in linen, his hair was neatly combed, his handsome face was also cleanly washed, his dark eyes were full of curiosity, judging from his dress and eyes, he looked like a poor boy who had never seen the world.

The caravan he was now following was a small caravan, escorted by only one warrior, with two wagons and two wagons for goods.

The four carriages were followed by four strong men, and Zhuo Yu followed the carriage with the strong men.

These merchants went into these remote mountainous areas to buy the skins and wild herbs of those wild beasts, they bought them at the low level, and then went to the city, and then sold them for more than ten times the price, which was very profitable.

Zhuo Yu looks young, but his body is very strong, walking a little is nothing, five days have passed, there is no trace of tiredness on his face, he is still full of energy, and he is full of energy.

It was calm all the way, and there were no wild beasts and bandits, so Zhuo Yu couldn't see the warrior make a move, which made him a little disappointed.

"I've finally left Snake Village, and I'll have to rely on myself from now on. ”

Zhuo Yu looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers while walking, thinking about his plans after entering the city, there were many young people in the village who were unwilling to die in Snake Village to enter the city, many of them ended up without any news, and some started a small business outside and lived a good life.

Zhuo Yu didn't know anything about the things in the city, and he had to rely on himself to explore, but he had heard some old people in the village say that people in the countryside generally find a physical job to do when they enter the city, so that they can have a place to live, and they can also have food to eat, without consuming the silver in their pockets, and at the same time they can be familiar with the outside environment.

He also has this plan, first go to find a job, spend a month or two to understand the outside world before making plans, his ultimate goal is to enter the Dong family.

After the carriage advanced for an hour, it suddenly stopped, Zhuo Yu felt strange, because he had only been resting for long, he didn't ask much, he sat under a tree on the side of the road, leaned against the tree, took out some fruit to eat, and they stopped on the road, and this road is densely forested on both sides, so this road is also the most dangerous road, because wild beasts will come out of it at any time!

The group of big men who followed the caravan also sat down to rest, and one of them caught a glimpse of the long sword wrapped in linen in Zhuo Yu's hand and immediately said.

"Little brother, was the sword in your hand made by the black blacksmith of the Snake Village?" spoke a strong man with a square face and big ears, and his tone was full of surprise.

When the other big men heard this, they looked at Zhuo Yu, and sure enough, they found that half of the end of the linen cloth was exposed, and the hilt of the sword could be seen!

Zhuo Yu smiled: "That's right, it was made by the black blacksmith, it's just an inferior product." ”

The weapons made by the black blacksmith were precious in the eyes of these marching merchants, because when they came to buy the skin and bones of some beasts, they could see from the incisions that those sharp weapons were extraordinary, but it was a pity that they could not buy the weapons of the black blacksmith.

Little brother, you don't know what it is, the sword is a weapon that symbolizes noble status, so people who don't have a certain status will not wear a sword, if you show the sword, the officials in the city will definitely check your identity to see if you are qualified to wear a sword, if you are not qualified, they will definitely arrest you, and then say that your sword was stolen. The square-faced man said.

Zhuo Yu saw that these big men were all sabers, of course he knew that he couldn't wear swords casually, otherwise he wouldn't have wrapped them in sackcloth.

Since the black blacksmith gave him a sword, he must have the meaning of a black blacksmith, and Zhuo Yu didn't say much at that time.

In fact, this square-faced man said too seriously, if it was some inferior sword, it would be no problem to pretend to be it, he just wanted to scare Zhuo Yu and wanted to buy this sword from Zhuo Yu.

Although Zhuo Yu has been in the mountains since he was a child, he is not a fool, and he can vaguely see the meaning of this square-faced man, he said: "My sword is broken, it should be okay." ”

After speaking, Zhuo Yu pulled out the long sword, only to see that the tip of the sword was missing, and there were many small gaps on the blade, the inferior product that Zhuo Yu just said was not fabricated, it was indeed a very inferior broken sword.

Actually, this was deliberately given to him by the black blacksmith, although there was no tip of the sword, and there was a gap in the blade, but it was very tough, and Zhuo Yu didn't understand why the black blacksmith gave him such a broken sword.

If it is to be less high-profile, you can give a knife, and giving him such a broken sword is useless except for being able to parry two blows.

But what he didn't know was that this sword was carefully crafted for him by the black blacksmith, and the materials were all of the highest quality!

The important thing is not the sword, but the sword intent! This is what the black blacksmith wants Zhuo Yu to master.

At this time, a pair of eyes staring at the long sword in Zhuo Yu's hand in a carriage also closed slightly, and then snorted coldly: "Fortunately, it's not a complete sword, otherwise you kid may have to die one step earlier." ”

"Oh, Mr. Gao, do you really want to kill someone for an iron weapon?" a lazy voice came from a carriage next to it, it was the merchant of the caravan.

He doesn't usually show up much, unless it's some very big business, it's all handed over to those big men.

"Hmph, it's just a cheap life, killing him is like stepping on an ant. Mr. Gao said coldly, very disdainful.

They also knew that the weapons created by the black blacksmith were very good, but they also estimated the strength of the black blacksmith, and they had important things to do, so they didn't go to the black blacksmith to ask for weapons.

How could a high-ranking warrior look down on such a poor mountain man? If he could say such a thing, he would certainly not be an ordinary low-level warrior! Such a small caravan with a powerful warrior must have something unseemly to do in it.

When those big men saw the broken sword in Zhuo Yu's hand, they lost interest and didn't talk to Zhuo Yu anymore.

"Mr. Gao, why do you want this kid to follow us, will he hinder our big things. The merchant asked.

"You don't understand, with such a local boy who enters the city, others will think that we are a small caravan, which is also a cover-up, you must know that some large bandit groups disdain to do things to small caravans. Mr. Gao said.

Only those small caravans will cherish that little money and let some people from remote mountain villages follow them.

"I see, if he gets in our way, we'll kill him!" said the merchant grimly.

Zhuo Yu in the distance naturally didn't hear these words, he was just looking around, in fact, he was vigilant around him.

Suddenly, Zhuo Yu heard the sound of a fast horse running, but it was very faint, but Zhuo Yu could still hear it, as a hunter, a keen sense of hearing is a must.

Sure enough, a neighing of horses was heard in the distance, and the merchant in the carriage immediately became nervous, as if the warrior had obviously known that someone was coming this way.

It was a brown horse, and on the horse's back sat a man dressed in black with a black mask, this person was very thin, and Zhuo Yu couldn't see this person's face, so he couldn't tell the gender of the man in black at all.

The brown horse stopped next to the warrior's carriage, and then a cold voice came: "Gao Zhiming, face letter!"

This turned out to be a woman, which made Zhuo Yu and those big men feel incredible, a woman has such a costume, single-handedly in the suburbs, this is only one explanation, this woman is also a martial artist, and her strength is not weak.

At this time, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old stepped down from the carriage, this young man was that Gao Zhiming, that is, the warrior, he was not very tall, he was dressed in a pale green luxurious robe, a fair and handsome face was tense, his eyes were very arrogant, he did not look up at the man on the horse, nor did he speak, but stood there with his hands behind his back.

"Are they all your own here?" the woman immediately asked coldly.

Gao Zhiming didn't answer, just glanced at Zhuo Yu coldly.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yu sensed that something was wrong, and the woman on the brown horse also rode towards them.

Zhuo Yu could see at a glance the murderous and indifferent eyes under the black hood!

Feeling that there was a crisis, Zhuo Yu, who was sitting on the side of the road, turned his head and ran into the forest, and ran up, now he can't care about any beasts, it is important to escape, this sudden change made him unexpected, not long after he entered the forest, he heard several screams, and the sound of trees falling......

"Hmph, that kid didn't kill him, but my people were killed by you. Gao Zhiming's face became a little ugly.

The woman wiped the blood from the long sword in her hand with a black cloth, and there was an extra blood mark on the throats of those big men, and the blood kept coming out, and it could be seen that the woman was deliberately trying to kill these big men.

"You tell me the content of the letter first, and then give me the head of that kid, otherwise you will accompany me for five people!" Gao Zhiming said lightly.

It can be seen from their actions that they are very cautious, and even if they spread word of mouth, they will not allow other living people to eavesdrop nearby, and the horsemen in the carriage are all their own people!

"The two pieces of thousand-year-old warm jade that you carried in the car don't have to be transported back to the Dong family, you give them directly to the Prince of Da'an, after all, the strength of the Da'an Dynasty is already stronger than our Dong family, and we have always been a pimple in the heart of the Prince of Da'an, so it's up to you to do it, you are most familiar with the Prince of Da'an! Remember, the news of these warm jade must not be leaked out, otherwise our Dong family will be in trouble." ”

After the woman in black finished speaking, she swooped, turned into a black shadow, and rushed into the forest!
