Chapter 525 The Dust of History

The ever-pale sky, with a few flowing clouds occasionally rolled over, is a delusion. The mountain road is also winding, making the carriage quite unsteady to drive, and it jumps and puts it on its back, making Tang En feel a little uncomfortable.

I had long seen the miserable sky, but I was passively tilted on the carriage flatbed and there was no other visual angle. After sighing lightly, Tang En twisted his lower body and changed into a comfortable position. A few traces of blood that were not easy to detect disappeared behind him.

Still not...

The various special effects of blood and energy are there, whether it is penetration, breaking defense, etc., there is absolutely no problem. But it is undoubtedly unrealistic to use this to force the crack of the cocoon-like cold iron chain. So Tang En is rushing to learn a new skill in a system - the Empty Blood Blade!

Since there is no weapon assistance, create one out of thin air!

Tang En's idea is undoubtedly correct, and the skill of the Empty Blood Blade can also achieve such an effect. But the key problem now is that this skill is not easy to learn, at least it cannot be quickly solved by cramming. Tang En has been thinking about it last night until this morning, but he has not been able to figure it out. He can barely condense the blood qi into a knife shape, but it is completely dead when he sees light. Not to mention cutting the chain, it is a great blessing to be able to last for a few seconds...

Now, it’s broken up again!

Melancholy... Shaking his head, Tang En set his eyes on several caravan masters who were traveling by the car, thinking in his mind that maybe it would be the kingly way to find another way.

In fact, Tang En knew that system skills were never easy to learn, and according to the usual practice time of new skills, it would take more than half a month to fully master the empty blood blade, and that was the premise that great opportunity came.

But in this situation, although I have no worries about my life because of the jade pendant, it is only temporary. These people are not slow and wait until they reach their destination. Then they have to take out another half of the jade pendant. Then their situation will be bad. Say what Zi Yi said, and they may be silenced later. If you don’t say it, you will definitely be tortured continuously. Tragedy...

Thinking of this, Tang En licked his dry lips and his thoughts of running away as soon as possible became more and more determined. With his current situation, it is naturally impossible to escape by relying on self-reliance. He can only put his ideas on these barbarians...

In fact, based on his observations over the past period of time, the group that seemed to be a small caravan in front of him was obviously a bit abnormal.

First of all, no small caravan has so many master guards in the Northern Wilderness or Bran. Moreover, I have never heard of the leader of the small caravan that can mobilize tens of thousands of troops and is well deployed!

Tsk, you can't have met members of the royal family who came out to play. This is what the novels are written... they smacked their lips. Tang En thought so.

The most direct flaw that can be seen in such a team is that it seems to be the two women with low strength. One of them is Xini, who seems to be a maid, and it is useless to hold him hostage. The other...

Tang En stood up and looked at Lansha not far away, and couldn't help but grin. He told him intuition that if there is no need, it would be better not to provoke this woman easily!

"Hu..." Lying down again. Tang En let out a long breath of depression. He secretly complained in his heart that the brainless TV series was indeed unreliable. The protagonist on the top was arrested, and he could successfully escape by lust, bribery, or even by urination. Isn't this obvious nonsense...

...

Just as Tang En was thinking about the run-off strategy, the convoy's speed gradually slowed down. Then he heard in his ears that Andre was asking for instructions on what he was not friendly to him, using standard Bran's words... Well, from this point, it can be seen that the caravan is abnormal.

As for what was said, Tang En was vaguely not listening clearly, as if the convoy had insufficient food, so he needed to find a place nearby to supplement...

Sure enough, the convoy turned west soon after, and entered a medium-sized tribe.

At this time, Tang En realized that the goods on the carriages beside him were actually children's toys, which was quite incredible.

After entering the tribe, a tarpaulin tent was set up around the carriage where Tang En was located. Lansha and the others obviously did not want him, the Bran, to be exposed to the eyes of the people in the Northern Wilderness, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Tang En naturally did not want to be exposed and sat in the carriage very honestly.

After finding the open space, several carriages stood in front, revealing many toys of different shapes, and the stalls began.

Tang En's carriage was surrounded inside, parked at the corner of two stone houses, and the location was quite hidden. More than ten meters away, some caravan masters kept wandering around, seemingly wandering around the carriage, but they locked all areas around the carriage, obviously in case Tang En suddenly went crazy.

But Tang En naturally couldn't cause anything now. Lan Sha would not kill him because of the jade pendant, but if he fell into the hands of other barbarians, the result would be hard to say...

Because of the oil cloth, Tang En's eyes were pitch black. However, he could clearly hear the noise outside, mostly the screams of children, mixed with bargaining and adding noises, which was very lively. Among them, a familiar hoarse voice came intermittently.

"Buy more food, wine, pickle, the best... The price doesn't matter, the speed is fast, we need to rush back as soon as possible..."

Is that woman? Tang En raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Hi, Lansha, how is the business?"

The outside conversation suddenly paused, and after a moment, the inside oil cloth was lifted halfway, and the light was penetrated. Lansha, who was holding the long wooden box, approaching the car, his face calm: "Only. Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, just chat casually." He answered casually, his eyes swept over the long wooden box and the burst fruit pinched by Lansha in his right hand. Tang En couldn't help but grin, "Don't do this... Take it easy, don't make every time he speaks, he's going to sacrifice himself to blow up the bunker."

"The bunker...what is that?" Lansha didn't care about Tang En's joking tone, or she was really fine now, leaning on the side of the carriage casually, just blocking the outsider's view.

"Well, a defensive military building. It looks a bit like the carriage surrounded by all sides, with only a hole exposed. The people inside can hit the outside, but the people outside can't hit the inside."

"Does Bran have such a military building?" Lan Sha frowned a little when he heard this. He just pondered for a few seconds and shook his head immediately, "Flamboyant! Even if the soldiers inside were archers, they would shoot at most a few rounds of arrows, and would be rushed forward by the cavalry and be beaten passively!"

"Uh...yes. Haha..." That's because there are no machine guns here. Otherwise, you let the cavalry rush to see it? After a smile, Tang En looked a little unquestioned.

However, it is undeniable that Tang En was also a little shocked at this time. In just a few seconds, Lan Sha could see the limitations of the bunker in the era of cold weapons. This is not agile thinking that ordinary people, even ordinary generals, can possess. Sharp vision...

As if seeing that Tang En disagreed, Lan Sha pursed her lips: "You Bran's wisdom cannot be underestimated. There have been many geniuses. For example, the stunning alchemy item - the Thor series, is an absolute battlefield killer. But at the same time, there are more stupid people. The Bran border line, which lasts thousands of miles and consumes countless manpower and material resources, but has no effect on us, is a proof!"

"That's indeed a very stupid idea. But putting aside these, your hundreds of years of invasion have not made any progress. Is this the truth?" Don't misunderstand. Tang En is not interested in the hatred between Bran and the Northern Wilderness. The reason why he continues to talk about Lansha's topic is just to have a better understanding of this difficult opponent. Once he decides to run away, he will not be so passive.

"Invasion? Facts?" Hearing this, a few sarcastic smiles suddenly appeared on the corner of Lan Sha's mouth, "Haha, the facts have long been buried in the dust of history!"

He paused for a moment. His tone was a little quick, "I know how you Bran people describe the Northern Wilderness. It is nothing more than desolate and withered, poor mountains and bad waters! I also know how you Bran people describe us, nothing more than ignorant, barbaric, cruel and violent. Yes, these are basically correct, and we all admit it."

He spread his hands, "Look, although this is not a glorious thing, at least we dare to admit it. And what about you Bran? Haha, have you heard of Fenghuo City?"

"Beijinghuo City?" Tang En was stunned when he heard this familiar name, and then realized that it was the city he had passed by when he was chased by Samp and Olieff before. He still remembered that Samp killed many people in the center of the city...

"It seems that you know this way. Well, don't you be puzzled? Why is there such a city gate fortress in the northern hinterland of Bran where there is no war, which is obviously a military purpose?"

"Why?" Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was really curious. Because the Fenghuo City was as Lansha said, with a wall of seven or eight feet, and a whole body of solid black rocks. It was not like a city in the mainland, but like a military city close to the border.

"The reason is very simple." Lansha's expression became more and more sarcastic, "Because about three hundred years ago, Fenghuo City was a front-line city, which is the middle separation point between Bran and the Northern Wilderness. Haha, you said it was our tribe invasion, and all the Bran people were talking about tribal invasion. But in fact, you Bran was the one who had been invading!"

After opening his mouth, Tang En was a little shocked. He was not a Bran, so after hearing this, his first feeling in his heart was not to question and refute. On the contrary, with the wise mind of the bystander, Tang En actually believed that the facts were indeed as Lan Sha said. Otherwise, the situation in Fenghuo City would be difficult to explain...

"Of course, I can understand it very clearly and well. The so-called prey on the weak will naturally be beaten if you fall behind. There is nothing to say about this." The slightly rushing tone gradually calmed down. Lan Sha raised her chin slightly, looked at Tang En's cold and proud look, "But one day, we will take back everything that belongs to us! And, everything you have!"

...

After a moment, alas... Tang En slapped his palms in Lansha's somewhat puzzled gaze and nodded: "I wish your wish will come true."

Frowning, Lansha looked at Tang En for a while, and narrowed her eyes: "Provocation? Or flattery?"

"If it is the former, it is annoying, but it is still a tough guy. If it is the latter, I will despise you!"

"Uh..." After touching his nose, Tang En couldn't help but feel speechless. What were you saying? I'm not from this world. You beat you up and have a half-dollar relationship with me?

After a little trouble, he had to spread his hands and smile bitterly, "Is my sincere wishes okay? You have to allow neutral people to exist."

"Sometimes neutrality is a kind of betrayal!" Lan Sha said calmly, "But if this is true, it will be inauspicious news for me. Do you know, I once thought about recruiting you in the Ban Valley."

"Uh. Is it a person who despises me?"

"Personality has nothing to do with strength. I don't appreciate it, but it doesn't mean I can't use it."

Tang En nodded and smiled, "Haha, what about now? Are you still trying to do it? I can betray..."

He shook his head straightforwardly, "No, I dare not use you. Because you don't have a truth, including this one just now."

The back of his head was knocked against the wooden board. Tang En looked helpless: "Uh... don't do this. I am a devout believer. I can swear to the God of Light that I can really rebel..."

"Mr. Arthur, as far as I know, you were just hunted down by the people of the Temple of Light not long ago."

"Ahem... the accident, that was just a small accident..." The words were exposed as soon as they were said. Even Tang En, who was unconventional, was a little embarrassed. He wished he could break his hand out of the chain and touch his nose.

At this time, a figure was printed on the side of the inner wall, which meant someone came over: "Captain, you have bought all the things, enough for us to go to the imperial city."

Oh, it was the one named Andre. Tang En has always had a good memory. Don’t mention this unlucky person who ruined good things when he was just awake. In fact, most people in the small caravan can call out the names of them now. To collect intelligence, sometimes you only need a pair of ears with normal hearing. However, Imperial City???

Listening to the destination of these people, Tang En couldn't help but be shocked. Lan Sha, who was beside him, nodded slightly: "Well, let everyone clean up the stall and prepare to set off."

"Okay." Andre responded, but hesitated without moving his pace, and his tone was a little hesitant. "Captain, when I was buying things, I walked around the tribe and found that thousands of warriors in this tribe were concentrated in three directions, east and south of the outside world, just like... uh, like surroundings."

"Huh?" Lan Sha couldn't help but frowned slightly when she heard this, "What's the matter?"

Andre shook his head: "I don't know. I asked after asking, but I found that the people in the tribe didn't know."

Lan Sha's brow was even more tight, and then, "Ha, maybe I'm going to hunt, or the next tribe suddenly came to me." Another carefree voice, Tang En didn't see anyone this time, but looking at the clear curved reflection on the wall, you will know that it was Sinni.

"Yeah, it's possible..." Andre was a little uncertain.

"No matter what it is, leave as soon as possible." Lan Sha pondered for a while and ordered decisively. Then he frowned and dispersed, and he felt a little self-deprecating in his doubts. Who dared to be unfavorable to him in the entire Northern Wilderness?

...

The order was given, and the stall in front was quickly withdrawn, and some of the toys displayed were transported back to the carriage, and the tarpaulin was reopened and closed.

At this time, Lan Sha had already left the carriage where Tang En was, but half of the curtain he had lifted was not put down. Tang En just half tilted, poked his head slightly, and looked at everything outside.

Tsk, the business is indeed average, and it has not been sold much... But those fluffy toys are good materials for disguise and should be used when they escape... Well, they just said that the Imperial City is the Northern Wilderness Imperial City? I don’t know how far away it is...

With a blind eye to his imagination, Tang En didn't have any other ideas now, and the timing is also necessary to escape, which is obviously not suitable now.

"Huh?" At this moment, Tang En's body suddenly tightened, a faint coolness passed by his heart, and then he slowly relaxed, his expression as usual, but his light glanced at some corners in his sight.

It's wrong... Tang En is so smart about his eyesight, he is even an expert in hiding and ambushing. Just a few glances, he basically confirmed that some people around him were slowly surrounding him.

However, although he knew that someone had wrong intentions, Tang En was also a little surprised for a moment, not knowing who the other party’s target was. Could it be himself? Well, as a fake Bran, it is indeed easy to get hatred here, but one thing is not reasonable. If the other party discovers his identity, then he can just come out to condemn him openly. There is no need to do such a sneaky act.

That's Lansha and the others? It's a bit strange. Their identities are obviously not low. They can even mobilize tens of thousands of barbarians at will. Who dares to gently stroke the tiger's beard? Besides, what is the purpose of the other party doing this? Grab this car of toys? Isn't that going to do it...

Just as Tang En quickly pondered various possibilities and judged whether there was a good opportunity to escape in the chaos,

Stepping... On the left side of the convoy, about dozens of people strode towards him. The middle-aged barbarian man in the lead seemed to have a good identity and looked excited.

With a few steps away, the middle-aged barbarian had already bent down to Lansha and gave a respectful gift: "I've seen Lansha..."

Tang En did not listen to the title after the subsequent title because Lansha waved his hand to interrupt it. However, it was obvious that Lansha's identity was indeed not simple as he imagined.

The next situation was almost like a sesame official who saw the imperial envoy. The middle-aged barbarian was not straight, and he was extremely excited in both expressions and movements. However, Lansha had always been light and maintained a sense of majesty distance.

Then the middle-aged barbarian kept making invitation gestures and said, as if he wanted to ask Lansha to stay so that he could entertain him. However, Lansha seemed to disagree and shook his head slightly to refuse.

After a while, the scene was very harmonious.

But at this moment, Tang En's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he couldn't help but open his mouth... It turned out from his perspective that he happened to see a familiar dark red sieve in Lansha's slightly raised palm. Uh, that burst fruit?

The next moment, boom...

The explosion sounded, the figure flew, and a cold voice instantly rang through the audience: "The target tribe is west, rush out!"
