come to the heavens

Ye Chen pretended to be leaning on the carriage, but his eyes were watching his surroundings, his ears were wide open, he listened carefully to what Bai Tong and the officer had to say, and reacted immediately if there was something wrong.

Fortunately, Bai Tong was still trustworthy, he didn't talk about him, just chatted with the officer, and secretly gave a large ingot of silver to the officer, and the officer weighed the weight of the silver in his hand, showing his satisfaction. smile.

Afterwards, it will be a matter of course. The soldiers at the checkpoint just walked around the caravan and asked a few random questions. When Ye Chen was here, he only said that there were female relatives inside, and the soldiers turned to the next car without even looking at it.

Soon the checkpoint was released, Bai Tong smiled and bid farewell to the officer, saying that it would be polite to invite him to dinner next time, and the convoy slowly started to leave the checkpoint.

It seems easy, but it is not so easy for Ye Chen and the others to come here. Even if they put 100 taels and 1000 taels of silver, it is not so easy to talk about, and they may be arrested directly because of the money.

It was different for a caravan like Bai Tong. They often crossed the customs and were familiar with the officers in Guanzhong.

The caravan slowly drove away from the checkpoint. Ye Chen leaned against the door of the carriage, and heaved a sigh of relief. Leaving Ningguo, even if the Demon Slaughter Sword only covers the sky with one hand, you don't have to be afraid.

State of Zhao is different from State of Ning, not to mention that State of Zhao is the most powerful country on this continent, and there is also Xianlai Port connected to Zhongzhou.

The caravan passed through the boundary area between the two countries about ten kilometers away, and came to the border of Zhao State. The inspection here was easier. Bai Tong just said hello and passed the customs without getting out of the car.

Inside the checkpoint, Ye Chen spent more than a dozen taels of silver to get a pass for the country of Zhao, with which he can go anywhere in the country of Zhao.

After crossing the checkpoint, Ye Chen clearly noticed that Zhao State is more prosperous than Ning State. There is a bustling county town two or three miles away from the border. The official road is wider and there are more pedestrians on the road.

Leaving the border, it was a long journey, he had to abide by the agreement, first send the Bai Tong caravan to Tongyi City, and then transfer to Xianlai Port from there.

Fortunately, now there is no need to rush day and night, and there is no need to worry about chasing soldiers. Take it slow and take it easy.

That day the caravan left Qingchuan Mansion and entered Ningtai Mansion. Ye Chen was sitting on the carriage leaning against the carriage door, reaching behind the door curtain and holding Wan'er's little hand leaning against the door, whispering, when suddenly there was a 'click' from the front 'Sound, a big tree fell on the side of the road and the dust flew up on the road, blocking the road. Behind the tree, a group of robbers stared at the convoy, leading a big man with a swollen face and stepped on the fallen tree with a big knife. Shout:

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to get through this, save money to buy roads!"

What a classic discourse, much more true than modern times.

Modern roadblocking has become too civilized, and the essence of ancient robbery has long been lost. Before reaching the intersection, there is a gentle lady’s voice reminding you: ——The toll booth is 100 meters ahead, please slow down!

Look, highway robbery is so civilized, and the tradition of thousands of years has long been lost.

Well, this is just a little teasing.

Bai Tong frowned slightly, glanced at the leader of the guard, who nodded, and then glanced at Ye Chen again, his five fingers squeezed together and there was a crackling sound, and the arm muscles thicker than ordinary thighs collapsed the clothes tightly Tight, full of strength and security.

Seeing this, Bai Tong knew what was going on, walked to the front of the caravan, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"I don't know which hero is ahead. The head of Bai's Medicine Store in Xiatongyi City had a drink with the head of Jiguanling Jinjizhai half a year ago, and he has already offered a big gift. Are you mistaken?"

The big man in the lead laughed loudly, slashed at the tree trunk, and said:

"That's the big boss in the past. He was hacked to death some time ago. The previous agreement was not counted. Today, I want to make this happen and pay another part of the road money."

Bai Tong frowned, thought for a moment, raised his head and asked:

"I don't know how much a strong man wants?"

The big man stretched out his palm and five fingers to make a comparison.

Bai Tong asked suspiciously:

"Ten taels?"

The big man shouted angrily:

"You send the beggar, 5000 taels of silver, otherwise the team will be left behind."

With his hands behind his back, Bai Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, it's too much. My entire caravan doesn't add up to five thousand."

While talking, the hand behind his back was slashed with a knife. Ye Chen and the caravan guards behind saw it and started to move knowingly. Ye Chen also whispered to the carriage:

"It's about to start a fight. Red jade and purple jade, you protect your wife. Sapphire and blue jade stay in the carriage and don't come out."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand into the carriage, and held a sword hilt in his palm with a small hand. Subconsciously, he held the small hand and squeezed it lightly. There was a soft moan in the carriage, which was very clear and not like Wan'er.

The leader of the highway robbers snorted coldly:

"It seems that you don't want to give it anymore, so don't blame the leader for being rude!"

Bai Tong retreated under the protection of the two guards, and said loudly:

"Your Excellency, don't be too greedy, be careful to take lifeless flowers."

"That book will take your life first, little ones, give it to me, and no one will be left alive."

Immediately, hundreds of shouts for killing sounded, and hundreds of robbers rushed up with their knives raised.

The caravan guards drew their swords and lined up to meet the robbers.

Ye Chen pulled out his long sword from the carriage and jumped off the carriage. He was two heads taller than the tallest person present, and his body like a giant bear was full of shocking power. Drooling, shouted loudly:

"Shoot him!"

The bandit shot more than a dozen arrows obliquely from behind, only three or four hit Ye Chen's chest and bounced off directly.

Patting his chest that didn't even have a white seal, Ye Chen strode forward, rushed past the caravan guards in a few steps, raised his sword, hundreds of tons of force squeezed the air, and cut out a half-moon sword that was two feet long The air is swept away.

The bandit leader only had time to block the big knife in front of him, and the sword energy flew past with a bang, the big man's face froze, and a second later, a curtain of blood spurted out around his body, from his chest to the upper half of his body Slowly slid down and was cut in two.

The sword energy was as fast as lightning and cut out more than ten meters away. The bandit crowd fell to one side like cutting straw, and a large number of human heads flew up. It was as spectacular as it could be.

4 Chapter Forty

Meeting the robbers on the road was just a small episode, and it passed quickly. Ye Chen just made one move and the battle ended. The remaining robbers simply raised their hands and surrendered. His dissatisfied muttering made the surviving robbers break out in cold sweat.

Next on the road, Bai Tong took the initiative to send back the 100 taels of silver, and chatted with him as soon as he had nothing to do.

Ye Chen wanted to know about Zhao Guo's situation, and didn't try to hide it, so he asked directly:

"Treasurer Bai has been doing business abroad all year round. Are you familiar with Xianlai Hong Kong?"

Bai Tong suddenly said:

"Brother Zong is going to Xianlaigang to Zhongzhou?"

He nodded, Bai Tong regained his spirit and said:

"I'm familiar with Xianlai Port. I went there twice last year. It was more than 200 miles south from Tongyi City to Xianlai Port. It happened to be on the way. Xianlai Port is the largest port in Zhao Kingdom, and also the largest port in the entire Xiaoyuan Continent. The port, every five years there will be overseas giant ships arriving at Xianlai Port, and the immortals from various immortal sects in Zhongzhou will recruit disciples in Xianlai Port, if they are lucky enough to be spotted by the immortals, they will immediately be able to leap into the dragon gate and soar into the sky."

"Only once in five years?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, subconsciously asked:
