Panic For 10000 Years

Chapter 71: Escort

let's go!

Da Da Da, carts full of grain, forming a long dragon, slowly drove away from Cangtong Town.

There are more than one thousand grain carriages, and the scale of the long dragon can be imagined, and you can't see the end at a glance.

With such a large food transport team moving forward under a heavy load, even if there are horses pulling a cart, it is impossible to go so fast.

"From Cangtong Town to Shangyang City, the shortest road is also 1,500 miles away."

"If the road conditions are good, we can walk more than a hundred miles a day, up to one hundred and fifty miles.

But if we encounter rainy days and muddy roads, it would be nice to be able to walk fifty miles a day. "

The two tall horses walking at the forefront are Zheng Old Man and Dian Wei.

Song Jincheng was at the end of the team and was in charge of the queen.

Old man Zheng talked and sighed:

"A few times, the section of the road we passed by collapsed and the road was blocked, and there was only one road. There was no way to detour, so I had to bite the bullet and clean it up, but it took more than a month to clear the road. By the time the grains were delivered to Shangyang City, most of them were already moldy.

In addition, we have also encountered floods, mudslides, or broken bridges that we must pass, and we have to stop to build roads and build bridges, or simply detour long roads. A delay of ten and a half months is considered good. "

Dian Wei listened carefully.

But these are not what he cares most about.

I still remember that the old man Zheng escorted food last time, but he was attacked. He was injured and the food was destroyed. Even Li Kuo, Wei Xiuzhi and other apprentices lost their lives.

Dian Wei Liao silently asked, "Old Zheng, what is the most dangerous place on the way?"

The old man Zheng replied: "This large area is actually the territory of the Shangyang family. In other words, if we follow the established route and do not go outside the territory, we are basically unlikely to encounter danger."

Dianwei was surprised: "Will we go out?"

The old man Zheng nodded: "It mainly depends on the road conditions. If the road is blocked and there is no alternative, then you have to go around.

Once deviating from the established route, it is possible to go out of the territory and enter some dangerous areas. "

Dian Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this dangerous area?"

The old man Zheng groaned: "It may be the hunting ground of a powerful monster, it may be the territory of a fierce beast, it may be a powerful bandit group, etc. In short, the danger we face is nothing more than Humans, demons, and different beasts."

Speaking of this, Old Man Zheng thought of something, looked at Dianwei, and said in a low voice: "Of course, you may still encounter an'abnormal', so be careful on the way."

This made Dian Wei's heart startled.

Old man Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "Oh, yes, there is still a potential danger, that is, the hostile forces of the Shangyang family!

If they are determined to attack us, they will most likely set up an ambush on the road.

The last time we were attacked, we were ambushed by a hostile force, and the food was burned.

Alas, it has not been found out who did it. "

Dian Wei knew it well.

Escorting food is really not easy.

On this road, not only may encounter the invasion of bad weather, but also may encounter all kinds of dangers.

It's noon.

The **** dragon stopped to rest for a stick of incense, and let the escorts eat the dry food and drink some water.

Dian Wei, Old Man Zheng and the others had already eaten the prepared cooked and air-dried exotic animal meat in the morning. They don't need to eat any more for a day, just drink some water.

After lunch, the team immediately set off.

Walked until dark.

The team stopped, camped, and slept in the wild.

"The first day's schedule was not bad. I walked for almost one hundred and twenty miles." Old man Zheng pinched and smiled.

Dian Wei didn't know how this sense of distance was calculated. He had been confused anyway, and he didn't know how far he had traveled this day.

The escorts had eaten and slept together.

Dian Wei and others are bodyguards, so they are responsible for patrolling back and forth and on night shifts.

They were divided into two teams, one team was on duty in the middle of the night, and the other team was in charge of the second half of the night.

Old man Zheng and Dian Wei didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and Song Jincheng and others took turns in the second half of the night before he fell asleep.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, the sky was still dark, everyone got up, ate breakfast hastily, and started on their way.

So cycle.

Nothing happened all the way.

On the eleventh day, people suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Old man Zheng patted his horse's **** and said, "The front is'Sanchakou'. This is our supply station. You can live in the inn, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep."

Dianwei looked up and found a town faintly emerging at the end of the road. It was not small in size. Although it was not as small as Cangtong Town, there were also high-rise streets and people coming and going.

Old man Zheng introduced:

"This three-way intersection is located at the intersection of three major roads. One road leads to the north, one road leads to the east, and the road under our feet. There are three roads in total. Traffic is important!

In the past, there was only one post here, which was very simple, but then there were too many people in the past, and it gradually expanded into a town. The Shangyang family also attached importance to this place, and there were as many as two teachers sent to guard this place. "

While talking, the **** dragon came outside the town.

Someone ran to inform the two coaches guarding the place long ago, and they rushed to greet them.

Of these two people, one is a white-clothed lady holding an iron fan with a smile on his face, smiling, and the other is a white-haired old woman with a snake-headed stick in her hand, her face is cold, without any expression.

Old man Zheng arched his hand and said to the white-haired old woman: "Grandma Yun, are you okay?"

The white-haired old woman smiled. She had no teeth in her mouth. Her mouth was pursed inward, and she said vaguely: "The old body is very good and can't die temporarily, but you were injured in the attack last time. How was your body?"

Old man Zheng continued: "My life is hard, it's almost better."

The white-haired old woman nodded: "It seems that moving mountain kungfu has its own uniqueness in self-healing."

Old man Zheng turned his head to look at the white-clothed Xiushi: "This is?"

The white-haired old woman introduced: "His name is Qi Lian, the new coach."

The white-robed Xiu Qi Lian arched his hands unhurriedly and politely.

After seeing each other, the old man Zheng was surprised: "Where is the former head coach?"

The white-haired old woman muttered: "Dead."

She didn't say how the man died, as if these details were not worth mentioning.

The old man Zheng sighed: "The head of the king is enthusiastic, and he is a good man."

The white-haired old woman hummed: "People are good, but unfortunately, since he could see the'abnormal', the whole person has gradually gone crazy. Alas, who would have thought that a dignified coach would end up wiping his own neck. ."

As soon as this is said!

Dian Wei squeezed and glanced deeply at the white-haired old woman.

Qi Lian, a white-robed Xiu Shi, seemed to notice Dian Wei's reaction and gave him a second look.
