I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 62 Wolf King Howling Moon
The sky was clear and the sun was high in the sky. Four people and a car were moving slowly along the official road.

It was the first time that Xie Yuan had traveled so far. At first he looked around with some curiosity, but after a while he gradually felt bored.

The official road was just a dirt road, with either ridges of fields or pure wilderness on both sides, with nothing but dead trees and weeds, and no scenery to speak of. Except for the occasional village every few miles or so, there was no sign of human life.

I did hear from three veterans that there were some places with elegant scenery, but they had to take a long detour, and as they had their mission to do, it was naturally impossible for them to go there.

"No wonder ordinary people can't travel far. The roads between counties are like this. It's not uncommon for bandits to pop up anywhere. With inconvenient transportation, the lives of ordinary people are limited."

Xie Yuan thought to himself.

The carriage moved forward along the ruts of the official road. The terrain gradually rose and the surrounding trees gradually became denser.

Wu Qing asked the three people to get off the carriage, and the four of them accompanied the carriage uphill to save some horsepower.

“This small Xishan Mountain is the only obstacle between Yunzhao and Jinshan Mountain, but the mountain is not high and the forest is not dense, so it cannot support big bandits.

"There have been some petty thieves in the past, but no one has ever dared to stop our Longteng Escort Agency's escort team. Of course, everyone should be careful. It is easy to encounter bandits here. Just follow the rules."

"I feel like it's easy to run into bandits along the way."

Xie Yuan shook his head.

Tang Dawei laughed:
"That's true. Otherwise, how could our escort agency have such a big business? If people really didn't pick up things on the road and didn't lock their doors at night, we would be left with nothing.

"Speaking of which, the world is relatively peaceful now. If it were really a famine, we would have encountered at least a few waves of robbers along the way. But even in a peaceful year, the lives of the people below are not easy, and those people are always the ones who get rich."

He pointed upwards and said with a chuckle.

Xie Yuan naturally had a deep understanding of this. He had just walked out of the mountain village, and the feeling of being hungry and cold was unforgettable to him.

"But it always says 'it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times'."

Xie Yuan recalled what happened in certain areas of his previous life and sighed softly.

"That's the truth."

The others all agreed.

"We are entering the mountain. Let's stop here for a while. Kong Chun, you guys should go and yell a few times, just to help Xiao Xie get familiar with the place."

Wu Qing said.

Kong Chun nodded:
"okay."

He waved his hand, and Xie Yuan followed him and walked forward.

"If this were a military unit, we would be scouts and vanguards, doing similar work. Doesn't it sound better than porters?"

Kong Chun smiled.

Xie Yuan smiled back:

"Our reputation isn't bad either."

"How can a porter compare to an escort? The treatment and status are far inferior... Oh, but Xiao Xie, if you want to be promoted to an escort, it should be very quick. After all, Li Guo is no match for you, and he is also an experienced escort."

Kong Chun said with a little envy.

The two men explored forward for a mile and gradually entered the forest, but did not find anything unusual.

Kong Chun carefully looked around and nodded slowly:

"It should be fine. We can just shout here and show our identities, and then we can go back. I'll shout first, and you can just do it again later.

"Longteng in Yunzhou, Longteng in Yunzhou! Longteng Escort Agency is passing by here. Friends on the mountain, friends on the water, please give us a favor and make good friends with us!"

He shouted three times, but in the twelfth lunar month there were no birds flying, and only his echo remained in the mountains.

Kong Chun nodded and said to Xie Yuan with a smile:

"Haha, I don't think anyone here would dare to stop our escort team. In fact, the mountain roads here are narrow and the terrain is quite dangerous. If there are smart robbers and bandits who block the road, we can still -"

"Hey! I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"

Suddenly, two big men who looked like bandits jumped out of the forest, one in front and one behind, and spoke words that sounded like bandits.

Xie Yuan and Kong Chun were both staring at this scene in a daze, and Xie Yuan even complained in his heart:

"Is this an old novel from twenty years ago?"

Although the plot is classic, the knife in the bandit's hand is no joke. It is shining coldly and flowing dark red, obviously a sharp blade that has seen blood. Kong Chun slowly drew his knife and frowned:

"You two, we are from Longteng Escort Agency, please give us some respect!"

"No matter whether you are Longteng Escort Agency or Niaoshi Escort Agency, if you want to pass through here today, you either leave money or your life!"

The gangster in front of him swallowed and said sternly.

Xie Yuan and Kong Chun looked at each other with serious expressions.

The two men who dared to stop Longteng Escort Agency were either foolish or confident.

Kong Chun shook his hand and threw it into the sky. A whistling arrow flew out, and the sound could be heard far away in the mountains.

"Oh no! These two have helpers! Fight together!"

One of the gangsters shouted at him harshly, and two others came up from the front and the back, surrounding him.

Xie Yuan and Kong Chun each went to greet one person.

Xie Yuan drew his sword and slashed horizontally, colliding fiercely with the bandit's long sword.

With a ding sound, the bandit's knife was knocked away.

Xie Yuan and the bandit were both stunned for a moment, obviously equally surprised by the result, and then they looked at each other.

The atmosphere was subtle for a moment.

But Xie Yuan came to his senses soon, raised his long sword, and was about to kill the bandit in front of him, then turned back to help Kong Chun.

He could already see the fear and despair in the bandit's eyes and was about to chop him with his knife when he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

Xie Yuan subconsciously turned his knife sideways, and at the critical moment, he blocked a long knife that emerged from the bushes behind him!

"What a swift knife! What a powerful force! I didn't even notice it."

Xie Yuan's heart trembled, and he immediately marked the scarred face that poked its head out of the woods as extremely dangerous.

The bandit who had lost the knife showed joy on his face, rolled quietly on the ground to create some distance, picked up the knife and rushed towards the other side of the battle group.

Seeing that his sneak attack failed, the scarred young man snorted coldly, drew his knife back and made a tricky slash towards Xie Yuan's armpit.

Seeing that his opponent was extremely powerful, Xie Yuan became extremely alert. His blood instantly boiled over, his internal energy surged, and the knife in his hand was so fast that it almost became a shadow, and he knocked away the sinister knife attack.

Then, he raised the knife high, like a silver wolf looking up at the moon.

The wolf king Xiaoyue, the killer move of the Wolf Sword Technique, cannot be understood until you have achieved a small level of success.

The long sword suddenly chopped down from high above, with a whimpering sound, moving forward courageously!

The scarred young man's face changed and he raised his knife to block.

When the two swords collided, the young man's whole body shook and his face flushed. He was about to fight back, but he saw the long sword was quickly raised high and then fell again.

The wolf king howled at the moon again.

The young man gathered all his strength and managed to block the knife again, his face now pale as gold paper.

He was shocked and angry, and roared:

"You are……"

Before he could even ask who you are, the young man saw the knife raised up again, ready to strike, and his eyes widened with anger.

"What the hell..."

This time, seeing that his opponent could still speak, Xie Yuan couldn't help but add a little more strength.

The Wolf King Howls at the Moon Three Times.

The long sword slashed down, but the young man's sword slipped out of his hand. Although he barely blocked the attack, he was still shocked by the force and vomited blood, and fell to the ground.

How can a martial artist use three killing moves in a row?

The young man couldn't figure it out until his death. The injuries in his body erupted and he could only swallow the remaining half of the sentence "Will this ever end?" and died with hatred in his heart.

He was crushed to death.
