Chapter 363

Tiandao Shenjing, December 4, the 17th year of Yuanping

After nearly three months of hard trekking, Yan Liqiang and the four seas escort agency finally arrived in Laizhou. At this time, Laizhou had already ushered in the first snowfall in the winter of the 17th year of Yuanping, and the temperature dropped sharply.

The goose feather like snow mixed with the cold wind rushed forward and blew on his face, just like being cut with an ice knife. Yan Liqiang, riding on a rhinoceros dragon horse, pulled up his mask, so that the cold snow and cold did not penetrate into his collar. Even without touching, Yan Liqiang felt a layer of glittering snow on his eyelashes.

Yan Li, who was riding on the horse, wore gloves on his strong hand. He just held the reins with one hand, while his other hand kept pinching into fists, then unfolding, and then pinching into fists, and then unfolding. In such a continuous cycle, after doing it for a while, he changed another hand, freed the hand holding the reins, and let the hand begin to repeat the action of pinching and unfolding.

In this cold weather, only in this way can you always keep your fingers and arms flexible, not make your fingers stiff, and then when in danger, you can open your bow as quickly as possible and keep the accuracy of Archery - this is the experience summarized by Yan Liqiang along the way.

There are few pedestrians on the official road, and the snow has accumulated more than a foot thick. The rhinoceros and horses become slow and dignified between their steps. The team is walking powerlessly, running for dozens of days, and all kinds of dangers on the road have already made everyone in the team extremely tired, both mentally and physically, close to the limit one by one. However, fortunately, on the way here, although there were many dangers and difficulties, under the protection of a strong bow in Yan Li's strong hand, there was no further reduction in the team, but several escort agents were injured in varying degrees, but their lives were not in danger.

"Everyone cheer up. Today we strive to get to su'an city before dark, and tomorrow we can go back to jianshenzong..." Yan Liqiang, who walked in front of the team, turned his head and shouted, giving everyone a shot of chicken blood and stimulants.

At this time, Yan Liqiang's position in the team is completely different from that in Jinling. He is definitely the core and leader of the team. Several escort agents in the team look at Yan Liqiang as they looked at the previous escort leader. Just like now, Yan Liqiang shouted, and Wang Hui and other escort agents shouted, "cheer up, cheer up, Don't leave it here... "

Several escorts shouted, and the silent team slowly perked up again.

Before returning to Laizhou, everyone wanted to come back. When they really returned to Laizhou, in addition to the fatigue and the spirit of suddenly relaxing, they didn't feel much excitement. To say yes, there was only a kind of relaxation for the rest of their lives. There was also an unspeakable complex feeling - how spectacular the team was when they went out a few months ago, I didn't expect that only a few people came back today, and the chaos around the Han Empire and all kinds of rumors and news that didn't know the truth cast a shadow on everyone's heart.

They continued to walk on the official road for a while. As soon as they turned an intersection, they saw that there was an extra checkpoint on the official road in front.

Yan Liqiang remembers that when he left Laizhou a few months ago, he also took this road. There are no checkpoints here. I don't know how there are two more sentry towers. There are still some anti horses piled on the road outside the sentry tower, and a crossbar was used to block the official road in the middle of the anti horses.

The people stationed at the sentry post also found Yan Liqiang and his party who were approaching the sentry post. A group of people who were hiding in the sentry tower next to the sentry post came out one after another with weapons, quite vigilant.

"What's the matter? There's a sentry in front..." Wang Hui and rode a rhinoceros dragon horse, trotted forward for two steps, came to Yan Liqiang, and asked Yan Liqiang's opinions, "why don't I go and have a look first, and everyone will wait here..."

Along the way, people are nervous about the endless situations and accidents. The white lotus sect, mountain bandits, bandits, local tyrants and bullies, and unrestrained sergeants suddenly emerge from all over the world. It's OK to be close to the city. As long as they are far away from the city, there are people who set up customs and checkpoints, those who take advantage of them, and those who kill people and steal goods, There was chaos everywhere, so the nerves of several escorts in the escort agency and everyone in the team suddenly tightened at the sight of the front post.

Yan Liqiang had quietly taken off the gloves of both hands. He pinched his fingers, then moved the bow bag containing the bow and arrow to the side and put it in a more convenient position. Then he squinted at the checkpoint and the environment on both sides of the road, "no, they have seen us. Let's go together. If we are careful, we will make each other uneasy, Be more alert. Maybe something else will happen. This is already the boundary of Laizhou. It is only hundreds of miles away from the Mountain Gate of jianshenzong. Jianshenzong should not allow anyone to mess around in Laizhou. Look at me later! "

"Good!"

When the order was passed on, the whole team raised their spirits. Zhao Huipeng and Gu Zexuan, who had followed Yan Liqiang, rode to Yan Liqiang's side without saying a word and made a warning posture.

"Someone stopped and dismounted for inspection..." there were 50 steps from the checkpoint. A loud arrow shot from the sentry tower and landed on the ground seven or eight meters in front of Yan Liqiang. Someone shouted on the sentry tower.

Yan Liqiang raised his hand, and the whole team stopped. Then Yan Liqiang got off the horse first, pulled down his mask, exposed his face, crunched on the thick snow and walked towards the checkpoint. After Yan Li strengthened, everyone got off the horse one by one and led the rhinoceros dragon horse to the past. Yan Liqiang looked at the dozens of people stationed at the outpost as he walked. They had complete armor and weapons and looked like sergeants, but their clothes were somewhat different from the regular military uniforms of the Han Empire. The clothes of the regular sergeants of the Han Empire were red or dark red, while the clothes of the sergeants stationed at the outpost were black, This makes Yan Liqiang a little confused, but from the perspective of face and temperament, these sergeants stationed at the checkpoint are not like bandits and bullies blocking the road, which makes Yan Liqiang a little relieved“ Where are you from and what are you doing in Laizhou? " At the other side of the post, a man with a long sword on his waist looked at Yan Liqiang and asked loudly“ We are the people of the sword God sect! " According to the experience along the way, Yan Liqiang first reported the mountain gate to frighten the other party, so that the other party did not dare to act rashly, "we come from Jinling and want to return to jianshenzong!"“ what? You are also from the sword God sect. Can you take the identity token of the sword God sect? " The man who looked like the leader was stunned. Also? Why? Yan Liqiang muttered in his heart, but he took out his waist token of the external disciple of the sword God sect and let the other party see it clearly“ Ah, yes, yes, it is indeed the waist token of the sword God sect. Everyone is a family! " Hearing the man's words, everyone's spirit relaxed at once, but Yan Liqiang was even more strange and vaguely had a guess - was this checkpoint set up by jianshenzong? At this time, a soldier beside the man who looked like the leader seemed to think of something. After seeing Yan Liqiang and others for a few eyes, he hurriedly leaned over his head and whispered two words in the leader's ear“ By the way, you said you came from Jinling City and met the team of jianshenzong Sihai escort agency along the way? "“ If Sihai escort agency hadn't sent another escort team to Jinling City a few months ago, we would be the team of Sihai escort agency returning from Jinling City! " Yan Liqiang put away his waist token and said calmly“ Ah...... "the man who looked like the leader suddenly widened his eyes and looked stunned. After carefully looking at Yan Liqiang for a few eyes, he suddenly came to the spirit," your escort leader's surname is Feng? "“ Yes, our escort leader's surname is Feng! " Yan Liqiang had just finished saying that, the man who looked like the leader almost jumped up at once, and quickly ordered a sergeant next to him, "hurry to inform him that the escort team of the four seas escort agency Jinling is back..." "what's the matter?"“ Please don't be surprised. We've been informed before. If the team of the leader of the four seas escort agency comes back, we'll inform zongmen immediately! " In the twinkling of an eye, the leader's attitude towards Yan Liqiang and others suddenly improved several times“ Are you also from the sword God clan? " Yan Liqiang asked strangely“ Yes, now the whole Laizhou has been taken over by our sword God sect... "The leader man replied proudly. As soon as the voice of the little head fell, a fluttering sound came from the roof of a nearby sentry tower. A spirit pigeon flying a message suddenly flew up from the roof of the sentry tower and quickly flew away to the distance. A few breathing skills disappeared in the wind and snow all over the sky. Although there had been some speculation before and all kinds of chaos had been seen along the road, Yan Liqiang couldn't help shaking when he heard the little head in front of him say that jianshenzong had taken over the whole Laizhou. What does this mean? It shows that the current situation of the Han Empire has been chaotic to an unimaginable level, so the super sect like jianshenzong, They will directly take over the whole Laizhou by strong means and no longer worry about any face of the imperial court - if there is still the imperial court now... Two hours later, Yan Liqiang and his party met a team of cavalry from su'an city on the way. After mutual identification, the team of cavalry escorted Yan Liqiang and them back to su'an city.
