The scale of the Rising Sun Trading Company's caravan was very large. There were about three to four hundred yellow-robed guards wearing soft armor and purple headbands on their foreheads, riding on tall horses.
Furthermore, the horses that the yellow-robed guards rode on were not ordinary horses. They were black-armored war steeds, and they were all one-in-a-thousand excellent steeds.
Only a great force like the Rising Sun Trading Company could possess black-armored war horses, which were comparable to the heavy cavalry of the three empires.
Of course, the yellow-robed guards of the Rising Sun Trading Company did not dare to wear armor, boots, and helmets in public. This was because doing so would be a great taboo of the three empires.
The empires could turn a blind eye to the training of guards in private. However, if they trained soldiers in private, it would be a different matter. They could be accused of conspiring at any time and be punished with the extermination of their entire clan.
Even so, these three to four hundred yellow-robed guards of the Rising Sun Trading Company could rely on the black-armored war horses to break up and defeat thousands of bandits in an instant, even if they encountered them. This was not an exaggeration.
"Tsk tsk! Look at their equipment … that's what you call excellent equipment! " Big Beard, who was carrying a huge axe, licked his lips when he saw the black-armored war horses under the yellow-robed guards. The envy in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.
Banners fluttered, carriages roared, and horses roared. This was simply a march, not a caravan. The Rising Sun Trading Company's ostentatious display was big enough to deter the few bandit forces that had designs on them.
"Hehe, Brother Beard, if you are envious, you can join the Rising Sun Trading Company! With Brother Beard's strength, isn't it a piece of cake for you to be the commander of the guards? "Boss Zheng said with a smile.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! To be someone else's slave? Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not that cheap! "Big Beard said while glaring. This Big Beard was obviously a person who would rather be a beggar than a slave.
Big Beard and the others slowed down the speed of the caravan and followed the Rising Sun Trading Company from a distance. The smoke and dust in front of them blew over from time to time, but they did not mind it. Instead, they chatted and laughed in a relaxed manner.
It seemed that following behind them and eating their dust was also a pleasure.
Even the big bearded man hung the big axe on the saddle, tore open the leather armor on his chest, and chatted with Boss Zheng. They talked about everything under the sun, and spittle flew everywhere.
This was because the Rising Sun Caravan's people were clearing the path in front of them. If anything happened, the people in front of them would shoulder the burden. Therefore, Big Beard and the others naturally did not need to be so nervous.
In the carriage of the Central Plains' salt merchant, Boss Zheng, Gu Fei did not bat an eyelid, although he really wanted to rush forward, drag Chu Tian out, and slap him to death.
However, now was not the time. He had to endure it. His strength had not fully recovered, and the remaining poison in his body had not been completely purged. He could not unleash the full power of his martial arts.
"I'll let you live for two more days!" Gu Fei forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest. He had no choice but to do this. He had to kill Chu Tian in his peak state, because Chu Tian was not simple. If he failed to kill him in one strike and allowed him to escape, it would be a source of trouble in the future.
… …
Needless to say, South Wilderness was really vast. After walking on the avenue leading to Dragon Emperor City for two days, Zhang Tie could vaguely see a huge city at the end of the endless primeval woods like a wild beast in the Prehistoric Wilderness.
That was Dragon Emperor City in South Wilderness. Nobody knew when Dragon Emperor City was built, not even the old fogies on the continent. Perhaps Dragon Emperor City had existed for a long time. As a result, people's memory about Dragon Emperor City had been eroded by the merciless time.
It was said that Dragon Emperor City had existed in South Wilderness since far-ancient times. However, this rumor couldn't be verified. Even the oldest classics on the continent didn't record when this huge city appeared.
The setting sun was as red as blood, which dyed all the clouds in the skyline into fiery red, forming brilliant fiery clouds. On the avenue, the fleet of carriages stretched for miles. Noisy people and horses neighed.
In front of the fleet was the most powerful and well-equipped Rising Sun Caravan with fluttering flags. 300-400 yellow-robed guards were riding black-armored battle horses and guarding the carts of goods in an awe-inspiring manner.
After the Rising Sun Caravan were 7-8 small caravans that had gathered on the road over the past two days. In this way, the fleet of carriages stretched for miles on the avenue.
Actually, these small caravans behind the Rising Sun Caravan had the same idea as Boss Zheng, the salt merchant from the Central Plains. They were all using the Rising Sun Caravan's power to intimidate others.
By staying close to the Rising Sun Caravan, they could avoid robbers by relying on the power of the Rising Sun Caravan.
Over the past two days, Gu Fei, who was hiding in the fleet of Boss Zheng, finally got rid of all the remaining toxins in his body and recovered to his peak state.
He planned to launch an attack tonight. Chu Tian dared to use despicable methods to harm him. His actions were unforgivable. Only by using Chu Tian's blood could he quell his anger.
The light between the heavens and the earth receded and darkness gradually descended. Night came quietly. The endless stars in the sky were like shy girls slowly removing their veils, sprinkling down endless starlight.
After a day's journey, the people and horses were tired. When night fell, the fleet of carriages that stretched for miles also stopped. They set up camp by the roadside and lit bonfires.
Some people directly walked into the forest by the roadside and hunted a few wild animals, or untied their rations from the carriages and swallowed them with coarse wine.
Outside, it was fine as long as they could fill their stomachs. There was not much to be concerned about.
While no one was paying attention, Gu Fei slipped out of the carriage and entered the dense forest by the roadside. He passed through the dense forest. His movements were like a phantom, like a ghost, avoiding the people's eyes and ears as he quickly moved forward.
In the campsite of the Rising Sun Caravan, a large purple tent was set up. The tent was brightly lit and there were two guards standing at the entrance. Inside the tent, two people were leisurely playing chess.
One of the two people playing chess was a young man in luxurious clothes, and the other was a middle-aged scholar in green clothes, holding a feather fan and silk scarf.
"How many people have been bewitched by you 19 times? I lost again! Mister Ning's chess skills can be said to be unparalleled in the present age! I admire you! "The young man in luxurious clothes stared at the chessboard and pondered for a long time before finally saying these words.
The scholar in front of the young man gently waved his feather fan. Three strands of black beard hung down to his chest, his face was as white as jade, and his phoenix eyes and long eyebrows made him look strange and elegant. When he smiled, he gave people a feeling that he was extraordinary.
The middle-aged scholar, Mister Ning, was about to speak. Suddenly, his expression changed and he waved the feather fan in his hand toward the chessboard on the table.
The chessboard immediately flew up, and the black and white chess pieces on it fell to the ground.
The chessboard went around the young man and blocked his back. The engraved lines on the chessboard seemed to come to life, rushing out and crisscrossing each other, like a net being laid out.
