The morning wind was very cool.
Teng Qingshan was leading more than twenty people on the road in the military camp. Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Qing, and Qingyu were sending them off.
"Brother, it's almost two thousand miles from here to Chu County. There are many dangers along the way, you have to be careful!" Qingyu was beside Teng Qingshan, her eyes full of reluctance.
Teng Qingshan smiled and touched Qingyu's head, "Little Yu, you don't trust your brother?"
"My brother is the strongest." Qingyu immediately raised her chin and said confidently.
Teng Qingshan was very happy to have a good adventure. As for his sister Little Yu, Qingyu had already joined the Gui Yuan Sect not long ago. It had to be admitted that Qingyu was very talented. She had only practiced inner strength for seven days and her body had already produced inner strength. Although she could not be compared to those geniuses who could produce inner strength on the first day, Qingyu was after all, fourteen years old.
"Little Yun, Miss Qingqing, when I go out this time, please take care of my sister." Teng Qingshan turned his head to look at the two.
"Needless to say. But when you are outside, don't be careless. Xuyang County is the most chaotic county. "Zhuge Yun also reminded.
As they spoke, Teng Qingshan and the group had already arrived at the north gate of the Black Armoured Corps camp.
Through the north gate, Teng Qingshan could already see the carts of goods outside. At first glance, there seemed to be a lot of goods, there were already eight carts.
"Little Yu, you guys don't need to send us off." Teng Qingshan said.
"Okay." Qingyu also looked at Teng Qinghu, "Cousin, listen to my brother on the road! Don't cause trouble. "
"Qingshan is the Commandant, of course I have to listen." Teng Qinghu laughed.
Zhuge Qing, who had been silent at the side, couldn't help but say, "Brother Qingshan, be careful on the road!"
Teng Qingshan glanced at her and nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Teng Qinghu grinned and turned to look outside.
"Let's go out!" Teng Qingshan ordered.
His two centurions and two squads of soldiers led their warhorses out of the gate. When he walked out, Teng Qing Shan could see clearly that there were a total of ten trucks parked here. There were also two spacious carriages with nearly a hundred people gathered around them. Most of them wore armor that looked like snake scales.
"Haha, this must be Teng Qingshan, Commandant Teng!" A white-haired elder stepped forward and greeted.
Teng Qingshan nodded. He glanced at the nearly one hundred guards and said with a smile, "Your Zhu Family is the wealthiest family in the world. Looks like my brothers will also have an easy time on the road. "
"These are also some of my master's men, how can they compare to the Black Armoured Corps!" The old man laughed. "This old man is Wu Tan! My master is over there! "
Teng Qingshan could already see a tall and sturdy man walking over with two guards behind him.
"Commandant Teng!" The tall and sturdy man cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've only been in Jiangning County for a few days and I've already heard of Commandant Teng's name! The youngest and most promising Commandant of the Black Armoured Corps! I was originally thinking that it would be difficult to meet Commandant Teng. I didn't expect Uncle Zhuge to let Commandant Teng help me secure the goods this time! This also allows me to meet Commandant Teng in advance! I'm overjoyed! "
"This must be Ninth Master Zhu?" Teng Qingshan knew the other party's identity.
He was the ninth son of the wealthiest God of Fortune, Zhu Tong — Zhu Chongshi.
"Why are you calling me Ninth Master? If Commandant Teng thinks highly of me, just call me brother. "Zhu Chongshi said with a smile.
Teng Qingshan secretly praised the God of Fortune, Zhu Tong, for educating his son. This Zhu Chongshi's laughter made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze, making them feel comfortable. What Teng Qing Shan hated the most were those who thought they were superior to others and ordered others around.
As Teng Qingshan and Zhu Chongshi conversed, they addressed each other as brothers.
Soon, the carriages moved forward.
…
After exiting the city gates, the carriages moved slightly faster on the official road.
"Father, I want to ride a horse!"
Not long after, a little boy's head popped out of the carriage window and shouted at Zhu Chongshi, who was riding a horse.
"You haven't even learned how to ride a horse. Stay in the carriage with your mother. "Zhu Chongshi yelled.
The little boy stuck out his tongue and shrunk back into the carriage.
"Brother Zhu is dragging your family along this time?" Teng Qingshan was slightly surprised as he asked Zhu Chongshi, who was riding alongside him. "From here to Chu County, there will be unavoidable dangers along the way. Why don't you let your wife and children stay at home? "
"Brother Qingshan, you don't know." Zhu Chongshi laughed. "I'm dragging my family back from overseas. I can't possibly leave my family overseas. Of course I have to come back together. "
"Overseas?" Teng Qingshan was slightly surprised.
Zhu Chongshi nodded but did not elaborate.
Teng Qingshan knew that Zhu Chongshi had a secret, so he changed the topic and asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, I have never been out to sea. What is there outside the East Sea?"
"The East Sea is boundless." Zhu Chongshi sighed. "Without going out to sea, you will never know how terrifying the sea is. There are many islands in the sea. Some islands are empty, while others have a large number of people. Some are barbaric and uncivilized. Of course, there are many citizens of the Nine Prefectures who live there. "
Teng Qingshan nodded his head silently.
Having been in the Gui Yuan Sect for so long, Teng Qingshan had gained some understanding of the geography of this world.
The Nine Prefectures were vast and had billions of citizens.
To the west of the Nine Prefectures was the desert. Occasionally, there were oases and many small countries in the Western Region.
To the north was the vast grassland, and further north was the North Sea.
To the east was the vast East Sea.
To the south of the Nine Prefectures, it was known as the Southern Wasteland, the Southern Barbarians, and the Barbarians. The boundless Southern Wasteland was filled with venomous snakes and ferocious beasts. It could be said to be a forbidden area for humans! That was because there were too many dangers there, and even some terrifying demonic beasts. However, it was said that many warriors pursued martial arts and went to the Southern Wasteland to cultivate. In the Southern Wasteland, there were many secret manuals and treasures left behind by dead warriors.
However …
The most prosperous and fertile land with the most experts and sects was still the Nine Prefectures!
Those small islands and small countries in the Western Region could not be compared to the experts of the Nine Prefectures.
"The people who live on the islands are poor." Zhu Chongshi sighed. "After drifting on the islands for so many years, I never want to go to the sea again."
"Brother Zhu, are you drifting on the islands for business?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Business is one of the reasons. The other reason is that I have wanted to travel the world since I was young." Zhu Chongshi sighed. "I have been to the desert countries in the Western Region before I was twenty. The Desolate is very close to Yangzhou. It is just south of Yangzhou! Actually, it is nothing much. There are all kinds of hills, trees that have grown for who knows how long, and all kinds of venomous snakes, insects, and beasts. I stayed at the outermost area of the Desolate for more than a month and talked to some warriors who ventured in. After that, I did not go in again. "
Zhu Chongshi looked around and laughed. "After traveling for so long, the Nine Prefectures is still the most fertile land."
…
Teng Qingshan had to admit!
His prediction was too perfect. The speed of the convoy was even slower than he had imagined! Although the carriages were pulled by horses, the official road was made of dirt. There were too many small pits, pebbles, and clods of soil. The speed of the carriages was naturally very slow.
A person would probably be able to catch up to the speed of the carriages.
In a day, they would only advance about 120 li.
The journey was arduous. Teng Qingshan and the rest passed through the boundaries of two counties. On the eleventh day of their journey, Teng Qingshan and the rest finally entered the boundaries of Xuyang County.
…
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The sky was still fine before. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and dark clouds covered the sky. Thunder boomed and a torrential downpour followed! The torrential downpour made the travelling convoy miserable.
"What a heavy rain. It would be great if there was a place to hide from the rain." Zhu Chongshi laughed bitterly.
After the rain, the dirt road became muddy. Of course, the convoy's speed became slower. Moreover, it was uncomfortable to be hit by the rain.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" …
When the raindrops hit the bodies of the Black Armored Army's sergeants who were wearing heavy armors, they made a loud crashing sound.
"Qingshan." Teng Qinghu rode beside him. "Haha, I told you to wear heavy armor but you didn't. Look, now you are all wet." Teng Qinghu and the rest wore heavy armor. Only their faces and hands were exposed. There were also neckguards on the inside of their necks, which blocked the rain completely.
Teng Qingshan smiled.
There were a total of 23 people in the Black Armoured Corps, including Teng Qingshan. The rest of them followed orders and wore full sets of heavy armor. Only Teng Qingshan wore inner armor, leg guards, and arm guards. To Teng Qingshan … the defense of this Winter Iron Heavy Armor could not even compare to his own body!
Moreover, if he wore a full set of heavy armor, it would affect his agility and many other aspects.
"Brother Zhu, there is no place to hide from the rain. Let's just bear with it. The summer rain comes and goes quickly! But … you should ask your men to be more vigilant. We are now entering the boundaries of Xuyang County. Xuyang County was an extremely chaotic county. There were many bandits there. I'm afraid the reputation of the Black Armoured Corps would not be able to deter the crazy bandits of Xuyang County! "
"Yes." Zhu Chongshi nodded solemnly.
The Black Armoured Corps could do whatever they wanted in Jiangning County.
But in other counties, it depended on the number of people from the Black Armoured Corps. If there were only a few people, they would not mind annihilating you all at once. As long as they were clean and did not leave behind any evidence, it would be fine.
…
Teng Qingshan and the rest had guessed correctly. Not long after their convoy entered the boundaries of Xuyang County, news of them had already been received by a group of powerful bandits in Xuyang County.
"Make way, all of you make way!"
While cursing, a lean one-eyed man was running towards a house not far away from him.
"Fourth Master!" The two men at the entrance of the house immediately greeted him with a smile.
"First Master, First Master!" The skinny one-eyed man pushed open the door and shouted loudly, "There's a fat sheep, a big fat sheep!"
"What are you shouting for!" A loud shout rang out.
A bare-chested bald man walked out of the central room. There were two hideous scars on his chest. At this moment, he looked at the skinny one-eyed man with dissatisfaction, "Fourth Master, you said there's a fat sheep? Just let your men do the normal work. "
"First Master! This is definitely a big deal! First Master, you have to make the decision! " The skinny one-eyed man's eyes lit up, "That caravan even hired the Gui Yuan Sect's Black Armoured Corps to protect the goods!"
"Oh?" The bald man's eyes lit up, "Black Armoured Corps? How many of them? "
