Chapter 43

Under the gentle hillside, a group of six riders came galloping.

"Brother Shang, the water and grass are luxuriant here. After driving for a day, how about we take a rest here so that the horses can breathe a little?"

The first person reined in and said loudly.

I saw that he had big ears, and he should have looked dignified and majestic, but his slender neck destroyed this feeling.

Following him was a martial artist with a broad forehead and narrow eye sockets. Seeing this, he quickly slowed down the mount on his crotch.

Although there was a little anxiety on his face at this time, the exhaustion in his expression did not seem to be fake, and after several days of searching, he also heard some complaints from the team. When he opened his mouth, he pondered for a while and said, "All follow Brother Ji's orders!"

Captain Ji laughed when he heard the words, and said loudly: "Everyone get off their horses, and everyone rests on the spot for an hour!"

The other four riders cheered and got off their horses after hearing the words.

Wu Xiu with a wide forehead moved his lips when he heard the words, but he could only smile wryly, and finally said nothing.

This is a cavalry squad from Tongyou Peak, which belongs to the Guard Division of Tongyou Academy.

There are five people in this patrol team. The captain Ji Sheng is a late martial artist, the deputy captain Jiang Changyu is just entering the martial arts, and the remaining three riders are also experienced martial artists.

But at this time there was one more person in the team, this person was named Shang Quan, and he was a member of the Shang family.

This time, he came out with the patrol team to find the whereabouts of the missing Shang Xia.

Ji Sheng took off the water bag from the Scarlet Cloud Beast, raised his head and filled half of the bag in one go, the slender neck could clearly see the rapid peristalsis of the throat.

Wiping his stubble-covered chin, Ji Sheng threw the water bag to one of his scouts, and said, "Brother Shang, since we defeated the Wuxiu of the Fengyan tribe three days ago, has there been any other news from the merchant?" Come?"

Shang Quan smiled wryly, and said: "Brother Ji, I have been following you all for the past three days. If there is any news, can I keep it from you?"

"Yes, alas!"

Ji Sheng sighed softly, lay half on the ground, and straightened his legs as much as possible.

"Those Cangling martial arts cultivators have been defeated long ago. If your young master is still alive, he should have climbed to Tongyou Peak by now, right?"

Shang Quan's expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head and glared at the speaker: "Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Sheng smiled at the side, grabbed a grass leaf from the ground and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Changyu, who was glared at by Shang Quan, smiled and said: "Brother Shang, don't be angry, let's discuss the matter. There are a lot of people who died in the battle between the two worlds. Is it a new thing to die on Tongyou Peak? If the missing person this time is not You son of a merchant, do you think our patrol riders who pass through the secluded passage can search for so many days with such a big fanfare?"

Shang Quan's face showed anger: "Tongyou Academy will not give up any student who may be alive, and it's not just Shang Xia who is missing, there are more than a dozen students from Room C!"

Ji Sheng lay on his back on the grass with his head in his hands, looking at the birds circling in the sky, as if he didn't hear the quarrel between the two.

Jiang Changyu smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Of course the college will not give up any possible students, so what Brother Shang should do now is probably to go to the Fengyan Tribe to negotiate a redemption, instead of urging us to follow us. waste time!"

"you--"

Shang Quan pointed at Jiang Changyu angrily, but saw a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

So he snorted heavily, turned to look at Ji Sheng, and said, "Brother Ji, what do you say?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Ji Sheng suddenly sat up from the grass, with his head up and his face still solemn, and said: "No, we are being targeted!"

"Who?"

"Where?"

The two who were still arguing just now became vigilant almost at the same time.

Not far away, the three patrolling martial arts who were feeding were walking quickly here, leading six scarlet cloud beasts.

Normally, the patrolling cavalry patrolling the Youdao is usually a five-member squad.

Tongyou Academy has inherited a unique set of joint attack secrets, which can challenge the challenge of stepping up with the strength of five people.

Taking Ji Sheng's patrol team as an example, two Wu Jijing and three Wuyuanjing, under the blessing of the joint strike secret technique, is enough to compete with or even defeat a martial artist in the early stage of Wuyijing.

If they can use the Scarlet Cloud Beast to charge in formation, then their strength may increase by another three points.

This is just an ordinary patrolling patrolling through the Youdao.

It is said that the Academy of Guards also stationed an elite patrolling cavalry in Tongyou Peak.

In this elite patrolling cavalry, for every elite squad of five members, all members' cultivation bases are above the Martial Extreme Realm.

Such a small team used the combined attack secret technique, and had several records of beheading Wu Yijing Cangling Wuxiu, and it is said that they also had the experience of retreating from the hands of Wuxiu in the late stage of Wuyijing.

Of course, such elite patrols usually do not appear in Tongyou Road, more often, they appear in the chaotic area in front of Tongyou Peak, wandering on the verge of life and death struggles with extraordinary martial arts in the Cangling Realm .

At this time, Ji Sheng suddenly noticed that the peeping eyes from afar were falling on him again, so he stood up suddenly and shouted: "Who is there, come out!"

The team members behind Ji Sheng almost reflexively stood in their respective positions according to the combined attack secret technique.

Shang Quan has been completely excluded from this joint attack formation at this time, and once he meets the enemy, he can only face it alone.

At this time, behind a rock hundreds of feet away from where Ji Sheng was looking, a man stood up and waved at them, while trotting towards them.

"But Tongyou Peak Patrol? Uncle Quan? It's me, I'm Shang Xia!"

As the voice came, the person who came was getting closer and closer to them. If it wasn't the Shang Xia they were looking for, who was it?

"Xia'er, it's Xia'er!"

Seeing the unscathed Shang Xia appearing, Shang Quan burst out laughing with relief, and hurried forward to meet him.

But just after taking two steps, Shang Quan suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Jiang Changyu who looked a little unnatural, and said: "It seems that Shang really doesn't need to waste any more time, but he doesn't need to negotiate a redemption either. On the contrary, Brother Jiang has to continue running around to find the whereabouts of other missing students, and maybe even go to the Fengyan tribe to negotiate and redeem them!"

These words were like a slap in the face of Jiang Changyu.

Shang Quan let out a long laugh, turned around and joined Shang Xia.

Jiang Changyu, who was behind him, watched the scene where his nephew and uncle reunited with a livid face, and let out a heavy cold snort.

…………

It was only after Shang Xia led the people out of the closed valley that they didn't know which direction to go in order to reach Tongyou Peak.

Although Shang Xia had to be reminded before, just go to the highest mountain and it will be done.

But now that so many people follow him, Shang Xia has a lot of constraints.

In desperation, Shang Xia had no choice but to take everyone back to the place where they were attacked first, and then went all the way in the direction of the convoy to Tongyou Peak.

Fortunately, Shang Xia was able to use the vigilance of the mutated swifts to make them avoid danger many times.

Even so, in order to avoid danger as much as possible, Shang Xia often went to the front and kept a certain distance from the people behind.

Until Shang Xia met Ji Sheng and others who dismounted to rest in this gentle slope area.

Originally, Shang Xia had to further confirm the identities of these people, but he soon discovered an acquaintance among the six people, and it was his clan uncle Shang Quan.

There is no longer any doubt about the identities of these people, and Shang Xia can even confirm that these people should also be looking for them.

Rao Shang Xia had experienced life and death this time, and had already experienced quite a bit of experience. He was suddenly excited, and his vitality was slightly turbulent just after entering the stage, and he was noticed by the vigilant Ji Sheng.

…………

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Shang Quan laughed loudly while patting his nephew on the shoulder.

At this moment, a voice of yin and yang came through: "It is indeed a good thing, and it saves us from patrolling, in order to find a fleeing person, delaying the main task of patrolling the Youdao."

Shang Quan suddenly turned his head and glared at the speaker.

Shang Xia also looked at the speaker in surprise, and asked with a puzzled face, "This... who is it?"

Shang Quan forced a smile and said, "Come on, Xia Er, let me introduce you..."

"The patrol team?"

Shang Xia directly interrupted the uncle's words, saying: "I'm not interested in listening to their introduction, a group of people who even let their opponents come and go in their own back garden, it's just a show!"

"you--"

Not only Jiang Changyu, who just spoke, but also the rest of the patrol team glared at Shang Xia at this time.

However, what Shang Xia said was true. Letting the people of Fengyan Tribe sneak into Tongyou Road, intercept and kill the convoy, and cause many casualties in Tongyou Academy, this is the dereliction of duty of the Tongyou Road patrol.

In fact, ever since the convoy was hijacked and the news of the heavy casualties of the escorted convoy was sent back to Tongyou Peak, Xunqi has been under unimaginable accusations and pressure so far.

Even Tongyou Peak's supervisor, Ji Wenlong, the deputy head of Tongyou Academy, also rushed to Tongyou Peak to sit in charge a few days ago.

Ji Sheng, the captain of the patrol team, originally planned not to participate in this kind of verbal dispute, but when Shang Xia opened his mouth, he involved the entire patrol team, but he couldn't pretend he didn't hear.

"shit!"

Ji Sheng said angrily: "What do you know, dare to criticize the entire patrol?"

Jiang Changyu rolled his eyeballs aside, and said with a sneer, "What kind of status is he, naturally he has the right not to take us patrolling horses seriously!"

This is the height of life and life to raise the contradiction between the merchant and the entire tour.

Shang Quan's face changed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous! What are you, dare to provoke the relationship between the merchant and the patrol? Don't forget, the patrol is short of manpower, and our merchant is the first to help!"

"Brother Shang, don't worry, the subordinates are just ignorant!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Sheng turned his head and glared at Jiang Changyu angrily, telling him to shut up.

Shang Quan also turned his head and explained to Shang Xia: "There was a reason for the incident that day, most of the patrolling manpower was transferred in advance, which directly led to the shortage of manpower for patrolling Tongyou Road, which gave Cangling Wuxiu a loophole."

As for why most of the scouts were transferred, Shang Quan didn't say anything, and Shang Xia didn't ask either.

After finding Shang Xia, Shang Quan let go of his heart, and said to Ji Sheng: "Brother Ji, look at this... what is your plan next?"

Ji Sheng understood that Shang Quan had found someone, so he had no intention of continuing to patrol with the crowd. Although he was upset, he understood his mood and said: "Since nephew Shang has been found, brother Shang will take him back to Tong Youfeng, it will save Uncle Ke from worrying."

Shang Quan showed joy, and said: "Thank you so much Brother Ji, when my nephew is sent back to Tongyou Peak, Shang will definitely come to help Brother Ji again!"

Before Ji Sheng could open his mouth, Jiang Changyu's indifferent voice came over again: "Hey, among the seventeen missing students in Room C, only one of them has come back. What a blessing!"

Shang Xia stopped abruptly, and looked at Jiang Changyu carefully.

Ji Sheng said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"

Jiang Changyu stood up, ignoring Ji Sheng's eyes to stop him, and said: "Why, dare you do it or admit it? Do you dare to say that you were not the first to escape that day? The others are desperately resisting, your classmate was captured, So far there has been no news, but you have come back unscathed, those who were killed and injured are really worthless!"
