Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 243
Four days passed in a blink of an eye.During this period of time, Chen Zheng and his party have hardly been out of the house, and they have been taking actions with the people of Baiyun Mountain. However, the information passed on and the situation outside are becoming more and more tense. Even ordinary herdsmen are vaguely Yuedu felt that something bad was about to happen, and it felt like a storm was about to come.

On the evening of the first day, Zhang Shilong also had some exchanges with Bahantu of the Banma Department, and the news he got was indeed as Bai Qingyan said, that the other teams from the Shenhou Mansion did not arrive in time as agreed, but Beiyan dispatched Most of the other support that came over was already in place. When Zhang Shilong said that he would hand over the Nine Heavens God Thunder Talisman, Bahantu said that this time the Prairie Warriors Conference was different from usual. It worked very well, but in the end Zhang Shilong opened the iron box and accepted the talisman.As for what the two of them said that night, Zhang Shilong didn't say anything, but he looked worried.

The camp outside is ostensibly bustling, full of hawking and herds of cattle and sheep, but few people know how deep an undercurrent lurks beneath this brief peaceful scene.

On the day of the Prairie Warriors Conference, at dawn, earth-shattering cheers came from outside, like an overwhelming wave of cheers, surging in and directly woke up Chen Zheng from his sleep.

"What's the situation?" Chen Zheng just woke up, his head was still a little dazed, and he suddenly realized that today's conference should have started, and he muttered to himself, "The Prairie Warriors Conference has started?" I heard Yu Zhiruo's voice, "Brother Chen, wake up, the Grassland Warriors Conference is about to start, and we are going up the mountain, to Ma Yanshan."

"Come here, I'll be right out."

For a moment, such a picture appeared in the entire Universal Commercial Bank, and it seemed to become active all of a sudden.Not only that, in the vicinity of the Four Seas Trading Company, it is obvious that people dressed as herdsmen who lived in tents before are preparing to move, but they move quickly with their gestures, unlike ordinary herdsmen.

If Chen Zheng were here, he would have revealed the answer to everyone. These people seem to be a small tribe of hundreds of people, but in fact they are all small troops established by Beiyan to scout and respond to the news. Everyone has undergone rigorous training, and the real elite may have entered the Ma Yanshan Mountains.Those who are more careful can find a gleam of light occasionally exposed under the animal skin clothes of these people. It is the reflection of metal. The cattle and sheep are pulling small carts and storing weapons. Once they are ordered, they can be armed in an instant. .

Chen Zheng and the others didn't do much armament. After all, their faces were quite different from those of the prairie people, so they didn't hide their identities, but Bai Qingyan wore a veil and a headscarf to hide herself very well. On the outside, it looks like a woman who is good at riding horses at most, and it is absolutely impossible to find that she is a martial artist who has entered the Dao realm.

A group of people followed the crowd to Ma Yanshan.

When you arrive at the pass of Ma Yanshan, you can see the crowds of people, and there is no messy and orderly scene as imagined.

On the contrary, there are groups of cavalry at the pass of Mayan Mountain to maintain order and guard. Everyone who goes up the mountain has undergone strict inspections without any slack.

Soon it was the turn of Chen Zheng and his party to try the team. "Who's here?" The cavalry guard said the sentence he had said countless times without a trace of impatience.

"Everyone from the Four Seas Trading Company is invited to participate in the Grassland Warriors Conference." Zhang Shilong took a step forward and handed over an invitation card made of sheepskin.

The cavalryman took it over and looked at it. He was still from Beiyan.He nodded and said, "Okay, come with me. The treatment is different from other ordinary herdsmen. It quickly attracted the attention of others."

A group of people followed the cavalry team into the mountain pass, and the more they walked in, the more they found that there were more grassland cavalry inside. It can be said that the entire foot of the mountain is in a state of blockade. attention.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Chen Zheng's eyes. It was the murderous prairie general Battelle he saw when he came to the Barbarian Department on the first day. "Everyone from Beiyan, I have ordered a few people to go up the mountain by the patriarch's order. The Warriors Conference will be held at the peak of Mayan Mountain. I will arrange some guides for you, especially when you get to the mountain, you must follow the guide closely. If you are attacked by our tribal fighters, don't blame me for not reminding you." At this moment, there are thousands of prairie cavalry behind Battelle, which further sets off the murderous look of this man.

"Don't worry, general." Zhang Shilong cupped his hands, expressing that he had remembered Battelle's words.

Battelle waved his hand and said, "Let go." The cavalry behind him quickly gave way to a passage, and several people dressed as nomads came up and joined the team of Chen Zheng and others.

The group left quickly, but Battelle's eyes were indeed fixed on Bai Qingyan's back. The martial artist's intuition made him feel that this person was extraordinary, and the uselessness he was proud of might not be seen in front of that masked person. Doesn't work in the slightest.There is also some uneasiness in my heart.

However, thinking of the patriarch's arrangement and the great witch's superb kung fu, he shook his head, dispelled distracting thoughts, recovered his evil spirit, and focused on completing his task.

A cavalryman at the side quietly approached and said in a low voice: "General, I sent someone to investigate just now. This Four Seas Trading Company is actually an industry under the Baiyun Mountain Gate of Beiyan. Not only that, the small tribe that came in with them I'm afraid it's not clean either, and they should all be from Beiyan, should we..." He made a blinking movement, meaning whether to send someone to watch.

Battelle interrupted the cavalry with a wave of his hand: "No, the patriarch is now cooperating with Beiyan, and the Great Witch Festival is also very supportive. We can't go too far. I didn't see that Beiyan bought or even emptied some small tribes. I don’t care about it, but it’s secretly helping, even selling war horses. It’s an eventful time, and if we want to survive the crisis, we need the support of Beiyan people. Now Beiyan is as strong as a wolf, but when the wolf weakens, it will be The moment we show our fangs, remember what I said, and follow the patriarch's request."

After the surrounding grassland cavalry heard this, no one raised any objections. Instead, they showed excited smiles. It should be quite problematic with the statement in the newspaper that Beiyan and the Bumabu are as close as a family. Yes, the relationship between the two may not be as close as it seems.

Several guides from the Barma tribe led Chen Zheng and some pedestrians onto a winding and rugged path that could circle up the mountain.I have to feel the uncanny workmanship of nature. The mountain road of Mayan Mountain is relatively wide even if it is a rugged path. It is no problem for three people to drive horses side by side. The horses can just move forward. No wonder there are so many barges at the foot of the mountain Cavalry, if someone comes to make trouble, they can calmly pursue them on the mountain.

Not only that, but even some of the woods on the side of the road have a vague sense of danger, as if there is something deadly hidden inside.It was obvious that the people from the Banma Department had arranged manpower or traps there. These things were obviously not for dealing with these guests, but for the group of people with other purposes.I don't know how many deadly positions there are in the twists and turns on this road, and how many places there are on Mayan Mountain.It is estimated that anyone with evil intentions will receive a warm welcome from a group of people when they come to the mountain.

In this environment, the role of groups of soldiers is not as obvious as that of a single powerful warrior.If it is a vast plain, soldiers can form an army formation, and cavalry can also use various fancy techniques.Although the road on Ma Yanshan is not bad, there are at most three cavalry or six infantry in a row. At this time, it is time for the powerful warriors to play their role.

Chen Zheng was a little worried. Once someone from the Tie Le Department really took action, it must be menacing. With the head of Bai Yunshang, safety should be guaranteed to a certain extent. Couldn't get a map of the mountain road.

The Tie Le Department is fighting away, and the Barge Horse Department has also arranged heavy troops and Beiyan's masters are secretly supporting them. The Tie Le Department definitely has some trump cards, and it is very likely that the herdsmen who came to join in the fun or behind them There are also foreign aids, such as the Tianqijiao that Yan Xuelan once said.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng couldn't help but feel a little worried. The cards in his hand can be said to be worthless, and he really has no confidence in his heart.

Yan Luo keenly noticed Chen Zheng's expression, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Chen Zheng blushed, "This Warriors Conference is extraordinary at first glance. It can be said that there are heavy guards everywhere. I heard that it is a battle of life and death. I think no matter who it is, they will be afraid."

Yanluo nodded and whispered: "Don't worry, even if there is danger, we can face it together. You are not like this normally, why are you worried about gains and losses?"

Chen Zheng's heart skipped a beat. If Yan Luo hadn't mentioned this point, he probably wouldn't have noticed that he suddenly became sentimental. Could it be that the problem of system task punishment caused him to fall into some kind of panic?

"Yeah, it's okay, don't worry, it may be because I've been a little tired recently, and I'm not used to it for a while, and I may have met a big person, and the shock in my heart is relatively big, and I haven't recovered until now." In order not to worry Yan Luo, Chen Zheng also comforted himself, cheered up, and couldn't let the people around him worry about him, and he was about to reach the top of the mountain, so he had to be careful.

Although the group set off earlier, the mountain road was a long way away. They were about to reach the top of the mountain, and they could already see all kinds of ribbon-like decorations, and the sun was getting higher and higher.

Chen Zheng estimated that they would reach the top of the mountain in a few quarters of an hour.

"Okay, everyone, we will send you here. As for the next road, whether you want to go up the mountain or go to other places, we don't care, but please don't go to some more hidden places at will. It won’t be good if you get injured at that time.” Then the guides gave a slight salute, and rode off on horseback, leaving Chen Zheng and his party still in place.They were never given a chance to speak.

"Okay, let's take a rest here first, and take a rest." Bai Qingyan said in time, as the person with the highest cultivation base, it is understandable for him to give orders.

"Master, why don't we go to the top of the mountain?" Yu Zhiruo was a little surprised, and this was exactly the doubt in the hearts of people like Chen Zheng.

"It's not the right time yet. Just last night, I got an urgent message for my teacher. In addition to the competition between the young people of the two tribes, the Great Witch Festival of the Barma Tribe and the chief of the Tie Le Tribe will have a competition in this Grassland Warriors Conference." A life-and-death fight is too dangerous for you to fight with warriors of that level, and it is easy to be affected by their shots. Did you not pay attention when you came? There are other people on the other mountain roads around you. It's not clear, everyone is very smart and won't go up rashly. Moreover, yesterday I did a fortune-telling for my teacher by watching the sky at night, this time there are many variables and chaos, we'd better wait and see what happens." Bai Qingyan said The content of each is more touching than the other, but the expression is natural and the eyes are flat. It is obvious that things are not too tense and are still within the controllable range.

It must be said that soon on the top of Ma Yanshan, there will be two masters fighting for life and death. These people are full of spirits. Martial arts are worthy of their observation and study.

According to what Bai Qingyan said, the great witch sacrifice of the Pima Division has already entered the Taoist realm many years ago, and he is also a rare warrior in the history of the Pima Division. After so many years of accumulation, he lost his blood and stopped growing. , It can even be said that there has been a loss, but no one can say how much energy this person has. Not every powerful warrior is an old man or an old lady, but no old top warrior must have Expensive background, outbreaks between life and death, and there are many cases of retaliation in history.

The patriarch of the Tie Le tribe is also extremely amazing in the information from Beiyan. He is also a martial artist who has entered the Dao realm. stage.It is said that this person has already demonstrated a strong martial arts talent when he was young, and there is no problem at all in terms of his cultivation.Frustrated an unknown number of warriors, and this patriarch is very courageous, logically speaking, every grassland tribe cannot lack the great witch sacrifice, the status is the same as the patriarch, but he doesn't know what method he used, Today's Tiele Department's new great witch priest is still appointed by him, and the means are obvious.
