Dark Fairy

Chapter 258

It was safe along the way. Not only did we not encounter any changes, but even on the difficult road into the mountains, people from Daomenzhai who had received the news in advance came down to help, with a warm and hospitable look.Even after discovering that the sacks were full of rations, the corners of their mouths couldn't hide their gratified smiles.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone.But those who understand the meaning are rewarding.

In the eyes of Daomenzhai, the food is his own when he puts it in his mouth. What kind of shit does the "boss" outside know!At most, the other party's people are still guarding it in name.

I counted only seven people, and they were all seventh- and eighth-level warriors. What would this strength be enough for?It’s not enough for the masters in the cottage to beat with one hand.Like a joke.

But there are also people who can't laugh, and that person is Nie Yong.

After finally returning to the cottage, Nie Yong watched the carts of grain being sent to the specially prepared granary for storage, and couldn't hold back any longer. He turned around and found his master, which is Daomen Village The sixth master Li Longcheng.

"Are you back? Things are going well?"

Li Longcheng practiced drawing the bow in his small courtyard. The heavy bow, which was as tall as half a man, was like a bed crossbow. It was huge and contained terrifying power at a glance.It is impossible for ordinary warriors to pull away.But this is the foundation of Li Longcheng's practice all the time.As an apprentice, Nie Yong would be envious and longing every time he saw this giant bow, and he also hoped that he could own and use this extremely powerful weapon in the future.It's just that Nie Yong also knows that there is still a long way to go before he can control this kind of giant bow.

"Master, I'm back, everything is going well. But there is one thing that makes me feel uneasy." Nie Yong rarely saw him after entering the yard. He didn't get close to the master's giant bow as before to try his hand at it, but instead It was a sad look on his face.

Li Longcheng also discovered the abnormality of his apprentice.Put away the giant bow in his hand, then turned his head and led back to the main room, let Nie Yong go to the tea by himself, and the master and apprentice sat down to talk about things.

"Tell me, what is it that can worry you, a heartless boy, like this? Aren't you usually fearless?"

"Master, I'm not scared, but worried."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried about the "boss" behind Qiu Chongxi. Master, didn't you tell me before to let me find out the details of the person behind Qiu Chongxi? I ​​made an important discovery this time!"

"Huh? Speak quickly, are you hesitating to come here to trick me?" Li Longcheng was also short-tempered, his eyes widened, and Nie Yong was so frightened that he hurried on.

"Master, the "boss" behind Qiu Chongxi sent seven people to follow those goods. These seven people are all warriors, and their ranks are not high, they are all in the seventh or eighth rank. And they are all taciturn. There is nothing to worry about. They even eat and sleep by themselves, fire and set up tents by themselves, without contact with us at all.

But I found that these seven people carried a big burden on their bodies, and the shape of the burden was very strange.And no matter what these people do, they can't leave their burdens.

So I was thinking, maybe there is something important in these bags, if I know it, I should be able to get some details about them.

When I was resting the day before yesterday, I took advantage of the burden on their backs.The man reacted very fiercely and almost stabbed me, but in the end I was able to deal with it.

But I still touched his bag, although the time was very short, but the bag is not thick, I feel very clear after I started, I'm sure I touched a crossbow with strings installed!Big crossbow! "

Sure enough, Nie Yong didn't give a shit, and he revealed all the reasons for his worry in one breath.Hearing this, Li Longcheng jumped up from the chair.

"Big crossbow?! Are you sure you touched it correctly?"

"I assure you I didn't make a mistake. The arms and strings of the crossbow are very clear. You can't make a mistake!" Nie Yong also knew that the matter was important and he didn't dare to be careless, and he had been familiar with bows and crossbows since he was a child. I have only seen it a few times, but the overall structure has long been familiar with it, and I am very sure of my own judgment.

"Let's go, take me to have a look." Li Longcheng didn't talk nonsense, let alone ponder with Nie Yong.His nature is to like simplicity and directness.

"Good master!"

The master and apprentice soon arrived near the granary.Sure enough, beside the granary, Li Longcheng saw several unfamiliar faces wearing warrior robes and carrying strange burdens on their backs.

"Master, it's them."

Li Longcheng nodded without speaking. He pulled a few leaves from a nearby tree and pinched them on his fingers. Then he flicked his wrist without any warning, and then those leaves flew up as if they were alive. As fast as lightning, in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of seven or eight feet and swiped past the three burdens on their backs, sharpening into the blade!At the same time, the sound of cloth tearing followed.

Li Longcheng watched from afar the scene where he cut the bag to reveal the real guy inside, although those people were a little nervous, they quickly covered it with their clothes.But he still saw clearly.

What a big crossbow!
And it's not as simple as the big crossbows, because these big crossbows are all exactly the same, obviously not made by small workshops, but made in batches by large iron manufacturers.

In other words, those big crossbows seen by Li Longcheng are serious standard ordnance!
After that, Nie Yong was placed near the granary to watch every move of the seven people.But Li Longcheng immediately found the village owner Li Tianfang.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Fortress Master, the "boss" behind Qiu Chongxi has delivered goods. They are grains, and they are all rations. At the same time, there are seven people who came with this batch of goods, all of them are seventh and eighth grade warriors. But these people There are all large crossbows on their backs, and they are the standard large crossbows in the military."

"Huh? Can you see clearly?"

"Yes, Wall Master, I just saw it with my own eyes."

Li Tianfang's reaction when he heard the news was the same as that of Li Longcheng before, and he immediately frowned.

"The standard crossbow in the military. In this case, our previous guesses about the identity of the boss behind Qiu Chongxi may be wrong. The opponent can get the standard crossbow that is only available in the military, or directly use it in the military Or the way of the iron-making business in various places.

In this case, the "boss" is not just rich. "

"Indeed, there should be quite a lot of influence, even if they are directly in the army, then..." Li Longcheng didn't say the whole thing, but the meaning was understandable.In short, it is not easy to mess with.

"This is the first batch of goods, not many people came, and when the goods arrive, they are food, which is the most in-demand item these days. I'm afraid you should be more careful after that. But don't think too much about it. The cottage recently They are already recruiting again. When the manpower is up, you can train them in the bow and arrow array, and then they will be able to suppress the opponent."

Li Tianfang's words also immediately eased Li Longcheng's worries a lot.

Indeed, because of the rent money paid by the "boss" behind Qiu Chongxi, the cottage has already begun to recruit people again.Moreover, at this time, the soldiers and disasters outside are in power, and being a bandit in the mountains is not necessarily a bad job.

As long as he has enough manpower, Li Longcheng is confident that even if the "boss" behind Qiu Chongxi is really a figure in the military, he can train him to fight against him.
