From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 326 Hengshi Village

In the wilderness, a convoy consisting of three ox carts and a dozen men moved slowly along the way.

Several flags with the word "Xu" on them were stuck on the ox cart, fluttering in the wind, looking so conspicuous.

Among the group, the leader is called Xu Lichuan, a powerful warrior who is at the peak of the Bone Tempering Realm and only one step away from the Organ Refining Realm.

In addition to him, there are four or five warriors among these dozen people.

Some of these warriors were guarding around, while others were sitting on ox carts.

As for the miscellaneous matters along the way, they were naturally taken care of by the nearly ten ordinary people.

"Master Li, we have been walking for most of the day, why hasn't that Jiang kid shown up yet?" Dressed in coarse linen clothes, Xu Changshou made some disguises and blended in with several ordinary people in the convoy.

They set out from Xujia Town early in the morning and had been walking for most of the day, but still hadn't seen any sign of Jiang Yao. He looked unhappy and whispered a question to Li Gongsheng who was nearby.

"Sir, I can guarantee that Jiang Yao has already known the news that our caravan is leaving today."

"The reason why he hasn't shown up yet is probably because the terrain in this wilderness is relatively flat and the view is too wide, making it inconvenient to take action!"

"From what I know about this man, he is despicable and shameless. He only likes to attack others by surprise. It will be at night before he can really show up."

Deliberately slowing down his pace, Li Gongsheng walked side by side with Xu Changshou. He lowered his voice and responded in a low voice.

After leaving the piece of wood with the information engraved on it in the tree hole under the camphor tree outside Xujia Town, he would go over to check it out every once in a while.

Li Gongfeng naturally knew clearly that the piece of wood had been taken away.

However, although he was sure that Jiang Yao already knew that the Xu family caravan was setting off today, he was not at all sure whether Jiang Yao would really take action.

Of course, no matter how nervous he was, he would not say anything when faced with Xu Changshou's questioning.

"At our speed, it will take three days to reach Black Rock City."

"I hope that as you said, the boy named Jiang will really show up."

"otherwise……"

Xu Changshou snorted softly, and with some obvious dissatisfaction, he added grimly: "The head of the family will give you a chance to atone for your sins, but you must also make contributions."

"That guy is going to stay away from showing up, making me go for nothing. I don't need to tell you the consequences. You should know it yourself."

With a blank expression on his face, Xu Changshou said no more. He was already a few steps behind the others, but he quickly caught up and blended into the crowd.

As the eldest elder of the Xu family, the only person who knew that he was following the caravan to Black Rock City this time was the team leader Xu Lichuan, besides Li Gongfeng.

As for ordinary people, they would never come into contact with such a high and mighty existence as him on a daily basis.

He spent most of his time in seclusion and had not shown up in the Xu Mansion for a long time. He also made some special disguises, so naturally, other people in the team would not know his true identity.

He did this, of course, to be cautious.

After all, the boy surnamed Jiang also lived in Xujia Town for some time.

He might not have seen me, but he must have heard of my great reputation from other people. It is also possible that he knows what Xu Changshou looks like.

If he didn't hide his identity, what if that kid surnamed Jiang was spying on him from a distance?

If he had guessed his identity from the respectful attitude of the other members of the team towards him, he would have been scared to death. How could he dare to attack the caravan and appear in front of him?
"Being burdened by fame, sometimes being too strong is also a sin!"

From early morning to dusk, the group walked without stopping. They had already walked out of the wilderness and began to walk among the mountains.

Jiang Yao never showed up, and Xu Changshou sighed with some helplessness, saying with emotion.

"I opened this mountain, I planted these trees..." A loud roar, like thunder out of the blue, resounded in the ears of everyone in the caravan.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of tapping footsteps, six or seven men rushed out from the rocky forest beside the mountain road and stood in front of the Xu family caravan.

"We are the Xu family caravan. Which head of Hengshi Village is here to meet us?"

Every one or two months, the Xu family caravan would travel to Black Rock City. They had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

Everyone paused, and the apparent leader of the team, Xu Lichuan, stepped out from the crowd, clasped his fists, saluted, and greeted the bandits blocking the road.

"Xu Lichuan, are you leading the Xu family to Black Rock City this time?"

"This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. You should know the rules yourself."

"If you pay the toll, I will let you pass!" A man holding a copper stick strode up to Xu Lichuan.

With a clang, he thrust the stick in his hand straight up into the ground, sending rocks flying everywhere. "It turns out that it is the leader of Hengshi Village, Niu Da, who is leading the team. I am so sorry!"

"Don't worry, I understand the rules!" With a grin, Xu Lichuan waved his hand.

A leather-training realm warrior from the Xu family stepped forward in the team, took out two jade coins, and handed them to the man with the copper stick.

"Two jade coins, Xu Lichuan, are you sending away a beggar?" Although the man took the jade coins, he not only did not give way, but glared at everyone in the Xu family and continued to speak.

"Niu Meng, what do you mean?"

"Every time our Xu family caravan passes through this place, we give you two jade coins as tolls. How long has it been since we last passed through this place?"

"What? We haven't seen each other for such a short time, and you guys have changed your rules? Are you dissatisfied with the little money?"

"Don't you have any idea how strong your Hengshi Village is? Do you really want to have a fight with our Xu family?" Looking directly at the head of the Niu family, Xu Lichuan sneered.

Along this stretch of the road, the place where the truly powerful bandits are stationed must not be too far from Black Rock City.

Like the Hengshi Village in front of us, from its location we can tell that they are the weakest among the bandits in this area.

With the strength that the Xu family possesses, it is not that they cannot deal with Hengshi Village. They just don't want to cause trouble. Since they pass through this place, they are willing to take out some jade money to get rid of them.

"Then was then, and the present is now."

"Xu Lichuan, didn't you realize that I have now reached the Perfection of Bone Refining Realm and am only one step away from the Refining of Organs Realm?"

"We have dozens of brothers to support in Hengshi Village. If we only have two jade coins for one pass, it will be a bit difficult to support them."

"From today on, no matter if it's your Xu family or any caravan from other villages and towns, as long as they pass through our Hengshi Village, they will be charged five jade coins."

"If you agree with the price, don't waste time talking and just pay. If you don't agree, then just start fighting."

As if in protest, Niu Meng raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground.

The rocks under his feet were crushed to pieces by his kick, and he laughed weirdly.

"Has the Bone Tempering Realm been completed? The toll has increased to five jade coins?" Xu Lichuan frowned, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he looked Niu Meng up and down for a long time.

Retracting his gaze, he gathered with the other warriors in the team and whispered a few words.

Soon, they reached a consensus and made a decision.

With a sullen face, Xu Lichuan took out three jade coins again and threw them at Niu Meng: "Five jade coins, we can accept it."

"But I would like to advise you, the Great Niu Village Chief, not to go too far. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will die without knowing how you died."

There are five village chiefs in Hengshi Village. In addition to Niu Meng, the second and third village chiefs are also warriors in the Bone Tempering Realm.

As for the Xu family, although there are people in the Refining Organ Realm, under normal circumstances, that is the family foundation. They usually only stay within the family and rarely travel with the caravan.

This time, although Xu Changshou was hiding in the team, it was just an accident.

If he was willing to take action, he might be able to kill Niu Meng here, but the other leaders of Hengshi Village would probably flee quickly after seeing that the situation was not right.

If those people managed to escape successfully, it would definitely cause endless troubles for the Xu family caravan.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Lichuan finally chose to give in.

"I knew that you, Xu Lichuan, are a smart person. You must know how to do what is the wisest choice for you."

"Guys, call it a day!"

After catching the jade coins, Niu Meng chuckled twice, and after saying a few words, he waved his hand, and a group of people followed him and left.

"Let's go!" With a unhappy look on his face, Xu Lichuan greeted the people behind him.

The ox cart began to move forward. A group of people guarded the ox cart and gradually went away along the mountain road. Soon, they disappeared.

"Is there a bandit camp in this place?"

"That Niu Meng just now is the leader of Hengshi Village?"

"Looking at his ability, he doesn't seem that good. How about we take advantage of him?"

Jiang Yao's slender figure walked out from behind a bush beside the mountain path.

His eyes flickered as he looked at the mountain path ahead, then looked at the direction where Niu Meng and the others had just retreated, and thought.
