Chapter 276 Fake Mercenaries
Early the next morning, Shi Lei and Qian Qian set out on their journey. According to their speed, it would still take a day and a half to reach the designated place in Yanzhou, and there were still four days until the time for the weapon refining competition.
It is relatively sufficient. Of course, if Shi Lei moves forward at full speed, it will only take a few hours to arrive.
"There's no point in always traveling in the air. How about we get on the road? Don't we have plenty of time?" Qian Qian saw the bustling town below and asked Shi Lei for his opinion.
"Okay, I have no objection. You can also try the local taste." Shi Lei smiled loudly and appeared in a remote place, followed closely by Qianqian.
This is a town on the edge of Liangzhou, but the flow of people is very large, because this is the place where transactions between Liangzhou and Songzhou must pass. There are many inns and restaurants, and of course there are some flower houses. The transactions between Liangzhou and Songzhou have activated the local
Economically, more and more people come here to do business, because the items here can be sold at a good price, and the price difference earned is relatively large.
Shi Lei accompanied Qianqian to stroll in the market. It was rare that Qianqian had such interest, so Shi Lei didn't rush on his way.
Of course, Shi Lei also keenly noticed the difference between Qianqian, she was not as cold and unkind as before, but he knew that she was still Qianqian now, not Qianruo.
After shopping for half an hour, Shi Lei and Qian Qian came to a restaurant and wanted to try the food here.
"I said that when we pass Songzhou to Yanzhou to deliver goods this time, we must not encounter mercenaries, especially the Lone Wolf mercenary group." Not long after Shi Lei and the two sat down, they heard a person next to them whisper.
There were six people at their table, all dressed as merchants. Most were middle-aged, except for one young man in his twenties.
"Why, Uncle Liao, I heard before that mercenaries are paid to do things for their employers. No one like us would be willing to hire mercenaries. The hiring fee is not enough." The young man was a little confused.
asked in confusion.
"Third Young Master, you have been staying at home for a long time. It is your first time to go out to follow the goods. You still don't know much about the outside world. Other mercenary groups may be like this, but the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group is a different kind."
Said the man called Uncle Liao.
"Yes, this lone wolf mercenary group rarely takes on missions, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hire them because the commissions are so high. But they often rob passing merchants, and their methods are very cruel." Another person whispered.
, the words were full of fear.
"With so much money, this lone wolf mercenary group should not be short of money. What is their purpose of doing this?" The third young master asked in confusion.
"I don't know about this, but it is said that Lone Wolf, the leader of the Lone Wolf mercenary group, is a man with a changeable personality and is very bloodthirsty. There are even rumors that he has reached the level of a martial saint." Uncle Liao said.
"This is impossible. How could a strong Martial Saint do such a despicable thing?" The third young master shook his head in disbelief.
"What's this? It's said that he once slaughtered all the sects he belonged to. He was a murderous demon who didn't blink an eye." Uncle Liao pressed his hands and asked them to speak in a lower voice. After a while, everyone left after eating.
.
Although Shi Lei had almost eaten the food on the table, he didn't miss a word at the table next to him. This lone wolf was really a bit strange.
Qianqian obviously heard what Uncle Liao and the others said, so she calmly drank a cup of tea, looked at each other with Shi Lei, and walked out.
"What do you think of this lone wolf?" Qianqian asked.
"I don't know, but for a saint to do such an abnormal thing, he must have experienced something special. We don't know his journey, so we are not qualified to criticize him." Shi Lei said lightly.
"What you said is so profound." Qianqian curled her lips and continued to move forward.
"Although I don't know why Lone Wolf is so weird, there was something wrong with the people at the next table just now." Shi Lei's eyes flashed a few times.
"Oh, how do you say it?"
"According to what Uncle Liao and the others said, their goods seem to be very worthless, but the three silent ones next to them are at the early stage of King Wu, while Mr. Liao and the ones next to him are at the middle stage of King Wu. Although they have restrained their aura,
But it can't escape my eyes." Shi Lei said.
"Does this matter?"
"In your opinion, the few Martial Kings are nothing special, but if you think about it carefully, the Martial Kings of the general family are the top beings. They all sit in the family and take charge. How can they follow the sales? This shows that this family is absolutely
It's a big family, and the goods are very precious." Shi Lei analyzed.
"But didn't the third young master just say that their goods seem to be very worthless?" Although Qianqian felt that what Shi Lei said was reasonable, she still didn't understand.
"This is how smart they are. Restaurants are often places where some robbers or people with ulterior motives set up spies. Although they deliberately lower their voices when communicating, they do not communicate with their spiritual consciousness. They believe in the convenience of the military commander level.
You can clearly hear what they said, so some forces will think that this company has little value and will not take action against them." Shi Lei smiled slightly.
"It's really smart. Even if no one pays attention to them, they won't suffer any losses." Qianqian couldn't help but admire these people's scheming.
"They act so carefully, do you want to know what their goods are?" Shi Lei smiled mischievously.
"You don't want to rob someone halfway."
"Of course not. After all, I'm just curious. Follow me and have a look. Aren't they also going to Yanzhou? They're just on the way." After Shi Lei finished speaking, his feet speeded up a little, and his consciousness had already locked onto them.
Yes, it's just that they don't know.
Slowly walking out of the town, there were fewer and fewer houses on both sides of the road. Shi Lei and Qianqian walked slowly.
"They are three kilometers in front of us. There are twenty people in a team, five martial kings and fifteen martial commanders. They all tried their best to hide their presence and pretended to be ordinary businessmen. Perhaps to avoid others' attention, they did not step on the road.
Instead, they were traveling on horseback, and there were also some carriages carrying goods, but these were probably just a cover, the precious things should be with someone." Shi Lei said lightly.
Now Shi Lei's spiritual consciousness has spread out and can cover an area of 3,000 miles, and everything within this area will be clearly seen by him.
Of course Qianqian could see the team in the distance clearly, and now she finally believed what Shi Lei said. Ordinary goods cannot be escorted with such high strength.
The team in front didn't notice Shi Lei and the two people following them at all, and the powerful King Wu couldn't sense them at all.
"Uncle Liao, Huangyunling is just ahead. Should we speed up our pace?" someone asked.
"Okay, speed up and don't stop. Wait until you reach the center of Songzhou before resting." Uncle Liao said.
It's not far from Liangzhou now. If they want to reach the center of Songzhou, according to their speed, it will take a day or two. However, they are all strong men above the military commander level, so they still have enough foot strength.
"Uncle Liao, there's no one around now. Let's just travel in the air. We can reach Songzhou quickly. Why do we have to ride a horse slowly?" The third young master was very puzzled.
"Ten kilometers ahead is the center of Huangyunling, which is also the most dangerous place. Countless people have died there. Robbers often appear, and sometimes there are ferocious beasts. If we ride on horseback, others may
Still treating us as ordinary merchants,
Some masters don't bother to stop us, but if we step out of the way, we will be quickly locked, which will cause great trouble. For some small thieves, with our strength, we can easily deal with them, so be careful with the Wannian Ship.
"Uncle Liao smiled, stopped talking, and moved on.
The third young master stopped talking, and the group speeded up, and soon entered the center of Huangyunling.
There are towering mountains on both sides here, and there is only a trail in the middle, which is definitely a good place for a sneak attack.
"Everyone, please pay attention, some shrimps and crabs can't hold back and want to take action." Uncle Liao reminded.
"Stop!" A group of people, about thirty or forty people, jumped out from the grass on both sides. They all carried broadswords and showed their fierceness.
"You are..." Liao Shuce stepped forward immediately.
"Even we don't know. We are members of the famous Lone Wolf Mercenary Group. We know enough to leave the goods from western Zhejiang and get out immediately. Otherwise, humph, don't blame me. You're welcome." A bald head said.
"Oh, really?" There was a hint of disdain on Uncle Liao's lips. Most of these people in their thirties or forties were at the level of martial arts masters, and the bald man was only at the early stage of a martial arts commander.
"Of course, what nonsense are you talking about? Just get off your horse and leave all the money you have with you. I can save your life." The bald head became impatient.
"Third Young Master, I'll leave these guys to you to practice." Uncle Liao smiled softly.
The third young master next to him, who originally looked gentle and gentle, now had his eyes clear, and the aura on his body completely exploded. He turned out to be at the level of a late martial arts commander.
The pressure of the soul knocked out some weak people. In a flash, the bald body flew out, hit the rock wall heavily, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
"You... how dare you... we are a lone wolf... a mercenary group!" After the bald man finished speaking, he fainted.
"Third Young Master, you are so soft-hearted. Most of these scum are wanted criminals in various countries. There is no need to show mercy." Uncle Liao shook his head gently and gave his men a look.
I saw a flash of sword light, and all those thirty or forty people died!
"If you want to impersonate, you have to find someone more reliable. The lowest level of the lone wolf mercenary group is also a strong military commander." Uncle Liao snorted and continued on his way.
"Uncle Liao is very cruel, this is thirty or forty lives." Five miles away, Qianqian said with some dissatisfaction.
