Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 223 Danger Approaches
"Slut."

Qi Yu looked coldly at the three people who walked out of the woods.

Four words echoed in my mind.

"The Twelve Blood Disciples."

A member of the Ghost Sect.

'Thousand-faced Rakshasa, blood-sucking general.'

When Qi Yu looked at the third person, his pupils shrank slightly: "Mountain-moving monkey, Yuan Gao!"

Liu Jiaoniang knew:
"Qi Yu, what's with your eyes? Do you want to eat me?"

Qi Yu didn't even look at Liu Jiaoniang, but looked at the white-haired old man standing in the shadow at the back:

"Senior Yuan."

Yuan Gao, a master of the fifth-grade Guanhai realm.

He is well-known for his fighting skills in the Ghost Sect, and is the key to this operation.

Yuan Gao's eyebrows drooped and he snorted:
"Ah."

Seeing that Yuan Gao seemed indifferent, Qi Yu was not annoyed.

Both the Guiming Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Qi Family are descendants of the royal family of the Xuan Dynasty, and compared to the Duke of Weiguo, both sides have the same goals and naturally have more interactions.

However, after the Qi family of Southern Xinjiang fled to the Witch Kingdom, they learned their lesson and abandoned the evil magic long ago.

Because of different ideas, the two sides dislike each other.

It's probably the same reason as looking down on poor relatives.

Yuan Gao glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Where's Qi Rui?"

Qi Yu chuckled and said, "Old Qi has already gone there, he will naturally take action when the time comes."

Hear the words.

Yuan Gao's attitude then softened a bit.

This time, it is the Guiming Sect that comes to help the Southern Xinjiang Qi Family. They cannot turn against the Tiangang and become the main force, fighting desperately in the front while the Southern Xinjiang Qi Family’s people watch from the side.

The Qi Rui he mentioned was the fifth-grade martial artist sent by the Qi family of Southern Xinjiang this time.

Qi Yu: "Senior Yuan, time is running out, let's set off quickly. I heard that people have already left Qinghe City."

"I have obtained the deployment map. This time, only Dao Mo is a fifth-rank person, and the rest are below the sixth rank. Elder Yuan only needs to hold Dao Mo back, and we will deal with the rest."

"Okay, let's go."

Yuan Gao nodded and said calmly.

Liu Jiaoniang continued to giggle. She has always been interested in killing people.

There was murderous intent in Qi Yu's eyes.

This time, he not only got the defense map, but also had two fifth-grade warriors working together, so he was determined to win.

"Let me see how you escape!"

At the pass of the two countries.

"Dao Mo, the road ahead depends on you."

An old man from the Wu clan patted Dao Mo on the shoulder.

Dao Mo nodded heavily.

In Wu Country, they could still send strong men to escort them, but in Yu Country, everything had to be arranged by Yu Country.

The Wu Kingdom was ordered by the king and the great witch himself, and even fourth-grade innate warriors personally sent each other off.

Naturally, be careful.

But the situation was different for the State of Yu. Although they also attracted the attention of the emperor and the prime minister of the State of Yu, their arrogance as a big country made them not take the first trade too seriously.

Perhaps the shrewd Prime Minister Zhang is planning to take this opportunity to expose the hidden enemy lurking in the State of Yu and then follow the clues to find the real culprit.

In fact, the key point is that the current financial status of the Yu State is richer than that of the Wu State.

Can afford to lose.

In comparison, the new emperor of Wu Kingdom was more in need of gold and silver from trade to fill the gaps in the army.

"I try my best."

Dao Mo took a deep breath.

He glanced at the caravan that was passing through customs not far away, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Nothing happened during the escort from Qinghe to the checkpoint. He just hoped that the return journey would be just as safe.

The Wu Kingdom is in turmoil and really can't withstand any more turmoil.

Half an hour later.

The caravan from the Wu State passed through the checkpoint of the Yu State and set foot on foreign land.

Different from the caravan of Yu State.

The Wu Kingdom caravan does not have horse-drawn carriages, so they use monster beasts to carry the goods, which is much more efficient.

"There shouldn't be many monster caravans in Wu Country, Wu Country really takes this trade seriously."

Li Rui looked at the monsters that were more than ten feet tall and thought to himself.

These monsters can usually carry goods.

If there are really bad guys robbing, it can be transformed into combat power on the spot, which is quite practical.

But the cost is too high.

Ordinary caravans certainly cannot afford it.

In other words, the Wu Kingdom attached great importance to the first trade and was willing to invest in it.

At this time.

The general guarding the pass walked to Li Rui's predecessor:
"Lord Li, things are not peaceful these days, please be careful on your way."

The general guarding the pass is from the Annan army. He is a colleague of Li Rui and is naturally closer to him than the Wu people.

"General Wang, why do you say that?"

Li Rui asked.

"In the past few days, we have noticed traces of many people crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They should have entered Yunzhou."

General Wang explained.

Li Rui's heart sank slightly.

"It seems that this journey is really difficult to be peaceful."

He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Wang, for your reminder."

I didn't ask you any stupid questions like why you didn't go after them.

Except for one official road, the rest of the place is deep mountains and old forests.

Chase?
How to chase?
Even if thousands of people were sent at once, they would still not be enough in front of the vast forest.

The State of Yu set up checkpoints.

What they want to block are the cavalry and large troops, not every single Wu countryman, and it is impossible to block them at all.

Almost every year, people from the Wu and Yu countries crossed the border from the depths of the Shiwan Mountains, and the Annan army turned a blind eye to this.

A few people, or even hundreds of people, could not make any splash in the eyes of the Yu court.

soon.

Handover completed.

Dao Mo walked up to Li Rui and said, "Master Li, we can set off now."

Li Rui nodded.

First they said goodbye to the soldiers guarding the pass, then shouted loudly, and the team of two hundred people slowly walked back the way they came. Compared with the previous two days, the speed of today's march was obviously more than twice as fast.

This is the advantage of using monsters to transport goods.

"We should be able to return to Qinghe by early tomorrow morning."

Li Rui was shocked when he made the estimate.

This speed can be described as lightning fast. There are not many caravans from the Yu State that can travel 200 miles a day, but this caravan from the Wu State can cover 500 miles in just half a day.

Apart from canal transportation, this speed is simply amazing in land transportation.

At this time.

Dao Mo clamped his legs around the nine-horned silver lizard under his crotch and came to Li Rui:
"Master Li, let's not rest at night and rush back to Qinghe overnight."

Li Rui nodded.

He understood what Dao Mo meant.

As long as I'm fast enough, the enemy won't be able to catch up with me.

But no matter how fast the monsters are, we are still a caravan after all. Can we win by speed?
difficult.

He was about to speak.

His face suddenly froze.

From the perspective of wisdom, the originally deep red smoke turned into blood red in an instant. Not only that, the color continued to deepen over time.

Danger is approaching!

Li Rui's pupils suddenly contracted.

This situation means that danger is approaching them, and the goal is clear, which is to kill them, and the person who attacks is stronger than them.

Li Rui's expression turned solemn in an instant.

Dao Mo saw the change in Li Rui's expression and asked quickly, "Brother Li, what happened?"

Li Rui took a deep breath and remained calm.

He said to Dao Mo: "Order people to abandon the goods immediately. Everyone, follow me."

'Throw away the goods?'

Dao Mo's eyes widened.

He didn't expect Li Rui to say something shocking as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although the goods brought by the Wu Kingdom this time are not priceless, they are also a considerable treasure.

Just lost like that?
Dao Mo took a deep breath, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he chose to trust the official of the State of Yu and shouted to the people behind him: "Abandon the goods and follow me!"

Everyone was stunned.

At this time, Li Rui added: "Leave, or you will bear the consequences."

Done.

Without looking back, he went into the forest beside the official road.

The soldiers of Anningwei followed Li Rui into the woods almost at the same time without any hesitation.

The Wu Kingdom envoys gritted their teeth.

He also followed Li Rui in.

The rest of the caravan looked at each other, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and drop their belongings and follow.

Almost in a moment.

There was no one to be seen on the official road.

There was only a pile of goods left alone on the road.

In the mountains and forests.

Li Rui led everyone running wildly, seemingly rushing around aimlessly in the mountains.

Although Dao Mo was doubtful, he still chose to trust Li Rui.

A full hour later.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fuck, what do you mean? I think you, the people of Yu, want to embezzle our Wu country's goods?"

A Wu country merchant stopped and stared fiercely at the front.

With the first person, there will be the second person, the third person
moment.

Half of the Wu Kingdom's caravan stopped and everyone looked at Li Rui.

Li Rui stopped and turned to look at the Wu Kingdom caravan that was seemingly in confrontation with him.

The Wu country merchant said coldly:

"The people of Yu are the most cunning. You must be coveting our treasures. If we go back now, the goods will definitely be gone. Maybe you stole them."

"If we lose the goods, how are we going to explain ourselves when we get back?"

After hearing what the Wu country merchant said, the others also came to their senses.

Everything seemed normal, but because of a word from this Yu official, they were about to lose their goods and run away like headless flies.

No one would feel convinced.

"Yes, you must give us an explanation!"

For a time, the crowd was furious.

See this scene.

Tan Hu's face turned cold first.

Li Rui looked at the smoke which was still getting darker.

Still looking normal.

He looked at Dao Mo: "Master Dao, we are out of time. I will count to dozens. If you can't handle it, then I can only handle it myself."

Dao Mo's face turned ugly.

Li Rui's meaning was very clear, that is, you take care of your people, and I will take care of my people. If I can't do that, don't blame me for being rude.

See this scene.

Xu Wen and other officials from the Municipal Trade Bureau all chose to remain silent.

Although they were also confused about Li Rui's choice, they still tacitly chose to support Li Rui.

Li Rui finished his words and began to count down: "Ten, nine"

We haven’t even mentioned eight yet.

Dao Mo seemed to be deflated: "Master Li, come here."

Although he was very powerful, he lost his focus for a moment at this critical moment.

It is not easy to convince these people, and he knows he cannot accomplish this task in just a few breaths.

Li Rui nodded:

"Okay, then I'll do it."

The Wu country merchant opened his eyes wide, listening to the conversation between Li Rui and Dao Mo, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time.

Then I heard Li Rui say expressionlessly:

"You know that there is a death rate for traveling merchants, right?"
