Chapter 56 Last chance

The next morning, a team of escort vehicles set out from the Changqing Escort Agency and slowly drove out of Shudu.

The scale of this convoy was not small, with five or six horse-drawn carriages alone, and a lot of dry food and water on the carriages. Xiong Shao, the chief escort of the Changqing Escort Agency, was riding at the front, and nearly ten escort leaders and dozens of escort masters from the agency were all following the team.

Such a scene is truly astonishing.

But the most amazing thing was not the convoy of escort vehicles.

After leaving Shudu City, the escort car convoy gradually fell behind.

The first tail is General Bai, the defender of Shudu City, Bai Kepeng.

In Fu Qingzhou's words from his previous life, he was not the highest administrative official here. Shudu was the center of Shu. There were also provincial governors and censors here, and there were also prefects in the city. Bai Kepeng was second only to the prefect in rank.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to take a large number of soldiers to defend the city out of the city, but he could only take dozens of elite soldiers with him.

The second tail is naturally Wan Du Mountain.

Hua Xiaolan personally led a group of Miao people on horseback, but their number was not as many as when they set up the Gu formation and surrounded and killed Long Dabi. There were only twenty or thirty people, but all of them had calm brows and long breathing, and they were all masters.

This time they did not disguise themselves as Han people, but simply wore Miao clothes to expose their identities, which made other people afraid to approach them.

The third tail... belongs to the gangsters.

These people are a mixed bunch, including many experts and many random people who are trying to take advantage of the situation.

The number of people on this tail is the largest, with over a hundred people.

So within less than an hour after leaving the city, three large groups of people were caught up in the distance behind the Changqing Escort Agency's convoy, with hundreds of people in total. They almost blocked the entire official road, making a huge and noisy crowd.

In such a situation, soon someone couldn't hold back and took action.

They were some young and inexperienced people from a small local gang in Shu. They pretended to get close to the escorts from Changqing Escort Agency and launched a violent attack.

But in less than ten breaths, the escorts cut off their arms and threw them to the side of the road like sacks. Others passing by were too lazy to even look at them.

The Changqing Escort Agency has been operating in Shu for decades, and they are familiar with everyone from officials to bandits. How could these escorts be a group of ordinary people?

In the carriage in the middle of the escort car team, the Smoker laughed and said, "This Changqing Escort Agency is pretty good. They can pick up a few escorts who are at the third or fourth level of martial arts, and there are so many of them. It's not easy."

Fu Qingzhou did not say anything. He closed his eyes and pursed his lips, allowing Long Dabai to reach out and rub his face.

When Long Dabei withdrew his hand, his appearance changed slightly.

He looked much more mature and tougher. He was no longer the hunter boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, but a weathered young man in his twenties.

If I have to say, his temperament is similar to some of the young escorts in the team.

"That'll be fine?"

Fu Qingzhou opened his eyes and was a little surprised: "Don't you need some props to help you disguise yourself?"

"Master doesn't need it." Long Dabei said calmly.

At this time, Fu Qingzhou spoke leisurely: "By the way, just now I said that most of the escorts here are in the third and fourth realms... I am very curious, what level is this?"

"Above the sixth realm, the internal breath is transformed into true essence, and one can be considered a martial arts expert."

It was Long Dabei who answered: "Only one out of a hundred people who have reached the sixth realm of martial arts can survive."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized.

"After the sixth realm, each step forward is several times more difficult." Long Dabei added: "At least in this caravan, only Xiong Shao has reached the ninth realm of Wuqiao, and the rest are below the seventh realm."

After saying this, he tilted his head, his lips slightly opened, but no sound came out, he was sending a message to the carriage team.

Soon, the carriage curtain was opened, and Xiong Shao's tall and sturdy figure came in: "What's the matter?"

"Dress him up."

Long Dabei pointed at Fu Qingzhou and said, "Let him sneak into your escort team and follow the team for a day. If anyone harasses them, let him fight them... In addition, if he has other requests, listen to him."

Although Xiong Shao was a little confused, he nodded: "Okay, come here."

After Fu Qingzhou jumped off the carriage with him, Xiong Shao quickly got him a set of Changqing Escort Agency's standard short-sleeved uniform and asked, "What weapons do you usually use?"

"Bow and arrow."

Fu Qingzhou answered truthfully. Xiong Shao frowned: "Bow and arrow..."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's okay. I know that escorts don't often use bows and arrows. If you have a short knife or a short sword, that will do."

The reason why he asked Long Dabei to dress him up like this and sneak into the escort team was naturally to find an opportunity to practice. If he could only hide in the back and play with the bow and arrow, how could he train?

Unexpectedly, Xiong Shao still shook his head: "Daggers and daggers are not often used, but broadswords and spears are plenty."

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head: "Well, then... get a knife."

He has never practiced with a spear, so he really doesn't know how to use it, but he can try with a knife.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Long Dabei's calm voice came from the carriage: "If you don't want a knife, just give him a set of bow and arrows."

……

At the same time, not far behind the escort vehicle convoy, Hua Xiaolan was swaying gently on the horse's back, biting her lower lip, staring at the carriage carrying Long Dabi.

"Junior Sister Hua."

Kua Ye rode up to her side and whispered, "We can't wait too long. With such a big commotion in Shudu, the people from Mingjian Pavilion will be here soon."

Hua Xiaolan frowned and said, "Come if you want. Why don't we just kill them before they come?"

"I'm afraid... it's difficult."

Kua Ye shook his head and said, "Although Lord Ning is seriously injured and can't walk, there are still many masters in Mingjian Pavilion..."

Hua Xiaolan snorted, "Long Dabei has fallen to the point where he needs a bodyguard to escort him. He won't last long. We will take action tonight and kill him before the emissaries from Mingjian Pavilion arrive."

Kua Ye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you want to use poison?"

"Yes, why not?"

Hua Xiaolan bit her lip and said, "Except for Xiong Shao from the Changqing Escort Agency, everyone here is a mob. Let's poison them all!"

Kua Ye smiled bitterly: "Will this offend too many people?"

"Just don't poison people to death."

Hua Xiaolan blinked: "Let them not interfere with us. As for Long Dabei... ordinary poisons and witchcraft spells will not be able to do anything to him... Go and prepare the life-changing spell for me!"

Kua Ye glared and said, "Junior Sister Hua, are you crazy?!"

"I'm not crazy."

Hua Xiaolan's eyes were cold: "Master said before he died that the thing he regretted most was that he didn't kill Long Dabei directly and couldn't avenge those innocent people who died."

"Master has given me a new life. I will definitely fulfill his last wish!"

Kua Ye sighed, "You are the future leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain. Why do you have to gamble your future? You said it yourself, Long Dabei can't hold on for much longer. He is not far from death."

"But I want him to die in my hands!" Hua Xiaolan turned her head and glared at Kua Ye fiercely: "Why don't you go!"

Kua Ye shook his head and wanted to say something more, but there was suddenly some noise in front.

"Son, is what you said true?"

Someone asked, "As long as we defeat you, we can enter your camp tonight?"

"good."

A familiar voice responded, "But no matter what your realm is, you can only use the power of the fourth realm of martial arts - as long as you beat me, you can enter our Changqing Escort Agency camp freely tonight."

Hua Xiaolan and Kua Ye widened their eyes.

They were first attracted by the content of the conversation, and then they simultaneously realized that the owner of the voice seemed to be Fu Qingzhou...

However, when they looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a young escort in his twenties. Although he looked somewhat similar to Fu Qingzhou, they were not the same person.

"Is it him?" Hua Xiaolan was a little uncertain.

Kua Ye raised an eyebrow: "Never mind, let's go check it out first! This is a great opportunity!"
