Volume 1 Chapter 292 The Fire Head Army
The convoy went on a journey of more than twenty miles. Seeing that it was getting late and there were any villages and towns in front and behind, everyone found an open space near the stream to set up camp.
As soon as the convoy stopped, everyone became busy, those who set up tents, those who tied horses, and those who collected fodder... were all busy in an orderly manner.
Even the prince of Fengyun Kingdom was following a few guards at this moment, looking for dry firewood in the nearby forest, tied it into bundles with hemp ropes, carried it on his shoulders, and quickly carried it back to the stationing point.
The camp quickly caught fire, and soon the aroma of food came out. There were so many people and great power. This is true.
Even if you are thousands of miles away from home, there are pots, pans, rice and vegetables in the convoy, so you don’t have to worry about eating. Although it is a simple big pot dish, it is still quite difficult to be able to eat these things in the wild.
The people were divided into five groups and sat around a bonfire. Xiang Yun originally wanted to sit with Lao Chen and his guards, but Xiao Ding was pulled by them and came to their bonfire to sit down.
There are eight people here, including the father and daughter of the Xiao family, three female relatives, two young men, and an old man with silver hair and long eyebrows. Xiao Ding is good at this person, and even the arrogant Xiao Ling'er is quite polite.
Because this person is the guest of Xuri Trading Company "Xu Mingshan", the father and daughter of the Xiao family are respectfully called "Lao Xu". The two handsome young men wearing brocade robes are the disciples of Mr. Xu, and the other three female relatives are relatives of the Xiao family.
Everyone sat together and ate, roasted and drank with fire, and drank soju, which was quite comfortable.
However, the only thing that was a little embarrassed was that Xiang Yun was arranged by Xiao Ding to sit between him and Xiao Ling'er. He was not very familiar with the father and daughter of the Xiao family. The rest were even more disgusted, and everyone looked at him from time to time.
Especially the two handsome young disciples sitting next to Mr. Xu, they saw Xiang Yun sitting next to Xiao Ling'er. Their eyes were unaware of it, and there was a hint of jealousy.
The two looked at each other, and one of the young men with narrow eyes clasped their fists at Xiang Yun.
"This brother, I am in Qingyun. This is my junior brother, Qingshan. I followed the master and the head of the family to Hucheng. I wonder if my brother, the surname of the emperor, is the name of the elder brother?"
Xiang Yun hurriedly returned the greeting: "My name is Wei Xiaobao. This trip was to join the army at Hancheng Pass."
"It turns out that it's Brother Wei, who is shijing. This is our master. I don't need to introduce it. One of the three new masters in Yancheng, Qingfeng County, is known as Xianren. Brother Wei must have heard of it."
Xiang Yun looked at the old man and saw that he had white eyebrows and shoulder-length shoulders, a childish face, and his clothes were fluttering, and his clothes were indeed a bit like a fairy-like style.
However, through the perception of divine thoughts, Xiang Yun felt that this person's cultivation should be in the early stage of Huangyun. He had seen too many cloud warriors of this level in Qinfeng City, and he had also slaughtered the cloud warriors of Huangyun Realm and a large number of talent-level cloud beasts, so he naturally had no feeling.
However, seeing these people respecting Mr. Xu and his free and elegant attitude of telling the world and looking down on all living beings while talking and laughing, Xiang Yun was not willing to slap others in the face in public, and immediately said with a pretentious look on his face.
"Oh... it turns out it's Mr. Xu. Seniors are well-known for their seniors. When I see you today, I am indeed worthy of my reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Old Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked calm and composed, without any sense of modesty and shirk responsibility.
And his two "god disciples" had even more proud expressions. Qingyun looked at Xiang Yun and asked deliberately.
"I think Brother Wei is carrying such a mighty giant sword. I guess he is also a man in the world. I wonder which sect Brother Wei is in and which senior master is his master?"
"Well……?"
Before Xiang Yun could answer, Xiao Ling'er, who was standing beside him, had already spoken for him.
"Haha... He doesn't have any master sects? This sword is just a fake move to scare those little thieves. If we hadn't happened to meet him and rescue him, he would have become a corpse!" "Ling'er! Don't be rude."
Xiao Ding slapped the huge rock beside him, making a dull "bang", and there was really anger in his eyes.
Although Xiao Ling'er's cultivation level was higher than her father, she was really angry when she saw Xiao Ding, and she didn't dare to say more. She just looked at Xiang Yun and became more and more unkind.
Qingyun and Qingshan brothers saw this, but looked at each other and were secretly happy.
It turned out that this person was just a non-threatening waste. Seeing that Xiao Ding was angry for Xiang Yun, he scolded Xiao Ling'er, and the two who fell in love with Xiao Ling'er immediately became active.
Qingyun immediately stood up and persuaded, "Master of the family, don't blame Ling'er. Ling'er has been outspoken since childhood. Although what she said is a bit unpleasant, she is not wrong, right? It's indeed you who saved Brother Wei's life."
Qingshanyi, who was standing beside him, said with a smile: "Yes, a person like Brother Wei who is alone and has no ability to protect himself. If he really goes on the road alone, he probably won't be able to reach Hancheng Pass. I'm afraid his corpse will be cold. Do you think so, Brother Wei?"
Qingshan turned his malicious eyes to Xiang Yun, and the indifference in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
Xiang Yun had long seen that these two guys were not good things. When he heard these obviously sarcastic words, Xiang Yun's expression remained unchanged and he couldn't afford to argue with him.
Seeing that the aura of these two people was just the realm of the Five Clouds, and the aura was empty and the cloud power leaked out, it was obvious that the foundation was unstable, and they forced themselves to rely on medicine to improve their cultivation.
Even Xiang Yun, the "Old Immortal Xu" who secretly observed this person's aura, would be able to be at most apart from Duan Xu, the elder of Tianhong Sect who had been defeated twice in Qingming Mountain. If Xiang Yun took all his strength, he would be sure to defeat this person within three moves.
Xiang Yun looked at the perspective of the master and apprentice, just like the master and apprentice, who looked at Xiang Yun, they were all different, but they were also inverted...
"Brother Qingshan said it is right. If you use these tricks, it will probably be difficult to get to Hancheng Pass if you move forward alone, so you will have to rely on your care along the way."
"Haha..." Qingshan and Qingyun smiled proudly, and Qingyun said.
"Hey... this is just a trivial matter. However, I just heard that Brother Wei, you are going to Hancheng Pass to join the army. It is not easy to be a soldier in Hancheng Pass. I heard that many people will die in training for new recruits. Generally, only Yun Wuzhe dares to join the army."
"I think Brother Wei's aura is probably not Yun Wuzhe. It would be too dangerous to join the army."
"Hey... Brother Wei shouldn't be a soldier who is arched and riding. It's so dangerous. I happened to have some connections in the Hanchengguan military camp. I sent Brother Wei to be a leader. I just kept making fires and cooking every day, and I was full and well-dressed. After all, people like you are still cannon fodder when they go to the battlefield..."
Qingyun seemed to want to deliberately make Xiang Yun look ugly, so he spoke very loudly. Almost everyone present could hear it clearly, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience!
"Ha ha……"
"Yes, Huo Tou Jun is so good..."
"Brother Wei, I've been working hard in the military camp, so we can count them...!"
Although everyone was not malicious, they were also habitually making excuses. Seeing this, Qingshan Qingyun all smiled and wanted to see how Xiang Yun was embarrassed and ugly.
However, Xiang Yun's reaction unexpectedly made them. Instead of being angry, the latter smiled and picked up a glass of wine and signaled to everyone around him.
"Haha, thank you for your kindness. The Fire Head Army is really good. At least I am not afraid of losing my life."
"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter again.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling'er, who was standing beside her, looked even more contempt in her eyes and whispered: "Things that cannot be supported by the mud!"
Qingyun Qingshan brothers also glanced at Xiang Yun sideways, as if they were looking at a lowly ant. Needless to say, the old immortal Xu narrowed his eyes and ignored ordinary things, just like an immortal!
Only Xiao Ding's face showed a sad face, a faint dissatisfaction, and looked at Xiang Yun with some apology...
There was nothing to say that night, Xiang Yun and Lao Chen and several relatively familiar guards fell asleep in the camp set up. When everyone fell asleep safely, Xiang Yun also closed his eyes and looked exactly like everyone else.
However, unlike everyone, three feet above Xiang Yun's forehead, there was an invisible cyclone that was constantly rotating and compressing. At first, it was like the size of a funnel. As it continued to rotate and compress, it became thinner and thinner, gradually becoming cone-shaped.
At the same time, Xiang Yun, who was sleeping, had a curve in his mouth and said to himself: "It seems that it will take not long to get a glimpse of the 'Phantom God Cone'!"
...
At the same time, in a circular tent near the stream, the candles inside were not extinguished, and there was still a sound of conversation.
"Old Xu, can you pass Erwang Mountain safely and block the bandits of gangsters this time? It depends on you all!" The father and daughter of the Xiao family stood up at the same time and sent the immortal-like Old Xu outside the tent.
Old Fairy Xu nodded leisurely, with a relaxed and freehand look on her face: "Don't worry, the head of the family, the young lady, the rushing bandits are just a group of mobs. There is an old man in charge of the convoy here, and the heroine, the heroine, will help us, we will be able to safely pass the Second Kings Mountain!"
"Thank you Mr. Xu, please go back and have a good rest."
When the old immortal Xu left, the father and daughter sat back to the camp again. Looking at Xiao Ding, who was still worried, Xiao Ling'er comforted him.
"Dad, don't worry. No matter how powerful the bandits in Erwangshan are, as Mr. Xu said, they are just a group of mobs. Even if his daughter is alone, it is enough to deal with it. Now that Mr. Xu is under the siege, it will be even more foolproof."
"Oh..." Xiao Ding sighed and shook his head and said, "I don't know why, the closer I get to Erwang Mountain, the more uneasy I feel. I always feel that this time I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Also, our business bank has limited financial resources and has been robbed three times in a row. The loss of goods and the comfort costs of those victims have almost reduced the funds of the business bank by almost half. The situation in Hucheng is not optimistic now."
"Hey... this time, Weifu invested all the funds of the business bank into this batch of medicinal materials. If it cannot be successfully transported to Hucheng to sell to barbarian buyers, our Xuri Trading Company may no longer exist!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling'er's eyes became cautious.
"Ling'er, take this thing." Suddenly, Xiao Ding took out a piece of talisman paper with a yellowish color from his collar and emitting a faint halo and handed it to Xiao Ling'er.
"This...is this?"
"This is the earth spirit formation talisman. It is one of the few good things that my father has obtained in his business operations over the years. With the power of cloud, he can release a large earth spirit formation, which can withstand the full-strength attack of the middle-stage expert of the Huangyun Realm, and last for twelve hours."
"Dad, why do you give me this thing? Just keep it."
"Dad is old, and his strength is not as good as you, so it's safe to put this talisman on you. Dad is restless recently and always feels that he has a bad premonition. I can feel more at ease by giving it to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling'er could only accept the talisman and turned to her father with a firm look: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely let the convoy arrive at Tiger City smoothly!"
Xiao Ding looked at his energetic daughter and couldn't help but smile on his face: "I believe in you for my father."
"By the way, my daughter, brother Wei, you should be polite to him in the future."
"Well... Dad, when it comes to this, my daughter is really strange. Why are you so concerned about Wei Xiaobao? I know you are kind-hearted, but he is just an ordinary person after all. To put it bluntly, he is our burden. Why should I consider his feelings like this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ding shook his head, and he looked at his daughter with a serious expression and said.
