Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction
Chapter 732: Encountering robbers on the road, Hu Yidao killed the robbers, and the old man asked fo
The journey was indeed not peaceful. Because two caravans were traveling together. Each carriage was filled with goods. There were 40 carriages under the Prince Duanjing's Mansion and 30 carriages under the Prince Hongdu's Mansion. The caravan was too long, and it was very difficult to take care of the front and back. Especially when passing through dangerous sections, it was necessary to take care of the front, middle and back of the team. Otherwise, if you only take care of the front and ignore the back, the caravan was cut off in the middle by robbers on the way, and the carriages and horses at the back were hijacked, and the leader in the front didn't know about it.
The road was deserted and mostly in dangerous places. There were small groups of bandits or local forces along the way. They watched the loaded carriages passing by, just like seeing piles of gold and silver floating in front of them.
There were wilderness and wilderness all along the way, and there was no village or shop nearby. Sometimes, you could travel for half a day without seeing a single house.
Such a place would make those bad guys greedy. But they all knew that the caravan of Prince Duan Jing's mansion was not easy to rob.
It's not that no one has tried. But those bandits and robbers who robbed the caravans failed to get the goods, and were instantly defeated by the escorts of the caravans using drugs, spells, Gatling guns, grenades and the like.
There was a time when there were bandits and bandits along the way, and there were some forces that caused heavy casualties. The reason was that the caravan was injured and killed by the escorts of the car.
When crossing the border, soldiers from Beichuan will escort the caravan for a long distance. No one dares to rob during this journey. Some caravans arrive at the border to ensure the safety of their goods. They pay to hire a team of soldiers to escort the caravan to its destination. This is the daily task of the soldiers at the Beichuan border. When crossing the border, the escort is free, but if you request a longer escort distance, you will have to pay.
Fifty percent of the income will be confiscated, and the other fifty percent will be equally distributed among the soldiers of the escort team.
The caravans of Prince Duanjing's palace were all escorted by secret guards and their men, and there was no need to hire additional bodyguards or soldiers to escort them.
The bandits along the way have always been extremely jealous of the caravan from Prince Duanjing's mansion, but they dared not take action.
The escort for this trip was Di Si, who was originally from the Di group. The escort team was the escorts trained by Princess Duanjing herself. They were all young and strong men.
These young escorts were all beggars from all over Beichuan. Because of their good innate talents, they were selected by the secret guards who were responsible for escorting goods. Each secret guard selected a team of people to form his own escort team. These selected young people were personally taught martial arts and escort experience by the secret guards who led the team.
Nowadays, these young escorts have grown up and can take charge of their own affairs. Only when they are transporting goods over long distances will the leading secret guards accompany them. For short-distance transport, a small team of several people is usually responsible for escorting.
This time, because the journey was long and they were carrying a caravan from Hongdu, to be on the safe side, Di Si, who happened to be in the fiefdom of Prince Duanjing, was appointed to lead the team.
This time, the length of the caravan was much longer than in the past. The huge caravan, together with the escorts on horseback, stretched out a mile and a half long.
The wealth moving in front of them attracted the attention of the bandits along the way. When they reported the news to the leader, the bandits had not done anything big for a long time. Looking at the overwhelming wealth, the leaders were itching to get their hands on it.
Among them are Jiayang's subordinates, who have now left Jiayang's organization and are making a living on their own.
The good relationships between them came together to form a force. They had also heard that the caravans coming and going belonged to different countries and forces, and the flag of the super long caravan in front of them was the flag of Prince Duan Qing's palace, and the other half was the flag of the word "Hong". Although the two caravans walked together, there was almost no style, but they belonged to two teams.
Such information aroused the interest of several bandit groups. If the caravan behind them just happened to encounter the caravan of Prince Duanjing's mansion, then if they hijacked the caravan behind them, the escorts of Prince Duanjing's mansion would not interfere.
Even if they were in the same group, and the team was so long, they only needed to intercept a dozen vehicles in the rear half of the caravan, separate them from the team in front, and then quickly drive these vehicles back to their own village.
If they encountered resistance from the other side, they were all highly skilled in martial arts, and some of them knew some magic. Therefore, they did not need to be afraid of the other side's resistance.
If they get angry, they can just use magic to destroy the entire caravan. Then wouldn't this business be enough for them to live a life of luxury for several years?
Therefore, there were always various ambushes along the way. There was also a group of people running over from the opposite side. When they were about to miss each other, the carriages behind were separated by others. When encountering such a situation, the escorts responsible for escorting the goods behind were not in a hurry. They took out the sleeping pills from their belt bags and sprinkled them directly on the robbers who were planning to rob. If there was no advantage in the wind direction, they would use the Gatling guns in their hands.
Each escort carried ten enhanced Gatling guns with anesthetic needles. One Gatling gun was enough to kill twenty or thirty people.
More than 100 miles past the Beichuan border, there is a mountain road with a cliff on one side and a mountain wall on the other. The road is very narrow, barely wide enough for two teams of horsemen to pass each other. If a fully loaded convoy passes, it will be difficult for the horse team on the side next to the cliff to pass.
Usually when they see a team passing by on that road, the team on the opposite side will wait until that team passes before choosing to set out on that mountain road.
This time, when the convoy of Prince Duanjing's palace passed by here, for safety reasons, Di Si had sent people to explore the way ahead, and soon found out that there were no people or horses in front or behind.
There were young escorts protecting the front and back of the convoy to prevent bad guys from blocking the convoy at both ends and preventing it from passing. There was no way to the sky or the ground on this mountain road, so once it was blocked, they could only fight to the death.
However, even though the staff were arranged, accidents still occurred.
When all the carriages and horses were on this road and just when they reached the middle, a group of people appeared in front of them. There were about twenty people, riding horses and galloping. Fortunately, there were ten escorts waiting in front of them more than a hundred meters away from the exit of the mountain road, who stopped the group of people.
Di Si realized that this situation came too suddenly.
Because his men had just checked the entire road, and at first glance, there was no one on the more than ten miles downhill road, so it was impossible for a group of people to appear so quickly.
Di Si asked everyone to be on high alert, the appearance of this group of people was so strange, they must be robbers who ambushed in advance.
Just at this moment, a group of people appeared from behind, also with more than twenty people carrying swords and guns.
Undoubtedly, this group of people intended to block the convoy on the mountain road. They had a clear division of labor, and the robbers who were highly skilled in martial arts and magic were responsible for fighting with the ten escorts in front and behind.
The rest of the people were responsible for coming near the carriage and threatening the driver to drive it to the sides.
The young bodyguards on both sides who were responsible for protecting the convoy were not afraid of fighting against martial arts masters, but they were afraid of encountering masters who knew magic.
As soon as the two sides fought, the escorts discovered that this group of robbers were no simple men. Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, they also knew magic.
Although the escorts fought bravely, using drugs, stiffening talismans, binding talismans, and Gatling guns, the robbers still showed no sign of retreating.
When those who ran to the mountain road and forced the drivers to pull the carriages to the designated location, they miscalculated. These drivers were not ordinary people. They were also specially trained young escorts. The two sides fought again. These signs raised their hands and shot each other with pistols. If the opponent missed the first shot, the drug in the other hand had already been spread out. There was no way to avoid it. Therefore, the mountain road was not dominated by these robbers. All the robbers who went up the mountain road did not know magic. Without exception, they were either shot dead or knocked out by drugs.
At this time, neither side had the upper hand. To deal with the mages, the escorts also took out their pistols and shot them, but these mages were all able to cast spells. The bullets could not hit their vital parts. Therefore, the fight between them was very fierce, and the number of people on this side was relatively small. The escorts on the mountain road protected the carriage and tightened the reins to prevent the horses from being frightened and falling off the cliff.
The leader, Di Si, went to reinforce the exit where the enemy was in greater numbers. However, he did not know any magic, so he could only use a powerful submachine gun to fire at the enemy.
Because the enemy had a mage who was on guard against the fierce shooting from this side and had been using a gold spell to protect the shield and block the bullets.
The two sides were close to each other, and they were worried that the horses would be frightened, so no one dared to use the more lethal grenades. Fourth, now they were in a dilemma. Although they had used drugs, the other side had covered their faces tightly, leaving only two eyes exposed.
Moreover, the other party had already found out that the escorts of Prince Duanjing's mansion had drugs in their hands. All these bandits who knew magic had been taking turns to use wind magic to adjust the wind direction to blow towards the young escorts. As a result, the drugs could not knock out the enemy even if they were sprinkled.
The Gatling gun, which has an anesthetic effect, was also blocked by the opponent's blunt force and wind spells, and could not shoot at the enemy.
Just when the situation was tense, thick fog suddenly fell from the sky and it was pitch dark.
The escorts on the mountain road tightened their grip on the reins and pulled them tightly, jamming the wooden bolts of the carriage out of the wheels to prevent the horses from rolling down the mountain with the carriage when attacked.
The escorts on both sides took the opportunity to counterattack. The wind spell used by the opponent just happened to blow away the thick fog in front of them. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone chose to use the binding spell. Because they did not dodge in advance, several robbers were controlled by the spell. These robbers could not move freely, and the other robbers had to use more spells to attack.
But the spells, drugs and weapons can be taken out at any time. Their spiritual energy is not so abundant. After fighting for a while, the spiritual energy on their bodies gradually became insufficient and the speed of casting spells gradually slowed down. These people are low-level cultivators whose spells are not very advanced.
When they were Jiayang's subordinates, they were not very valued, so they escaped the disaster.
When facing the escorts who were covered in spells, drugs and various weapons, their magic was able to gain an advantage at the beginning. But now that their spiritual energy was almost exhausted, they were at a disadvantage.
Therefore, faced with the more fierce attacks from the escorts, they could only fight back with swords, spears, and halberds.
Just when the convoy was gaining the upper hand, a figure flashed by like a ghost, and wherever it went, the robbers fell to the ground one after another.
The thick fog also dissipated, and everyone found that it was a mysterious old man who helped them. The old man told everyone that there was a dilapidated temple not far ahead, and they could go there to take shelter and repair themselves.
The escorts did not move. They only followed Di Si's orders.
Fourth, they couldn't confirm whether the old man was a friend or an enemy. Although he seemed to have helped them just now and killed those robbers, they were clearly about to win just now. Could they ask those robbers who were still alive which force they belonged to?
However, this old man suddenly appeared when they were already in an advantageous position, and then mercilessly killed all the robbers. Why do I feel that this man is suspected of murdering to silence them?
Fourth, let the convoy move forward slowly and pass through this mountain road quickly. Although the robbers behind were not slaughtered by this mysterious old man, they are now running out of spiritual energy and are in a state of decline. These robbers were directly controlled by the binding talisman.
He immediately began to interrogate the robbers. Who sent them to rob the convoy? They were clearly organized people, not just some random bandits.
