Chapter 121 A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister’s door, no dog barking in front o

"drive!"

"drive!"

"drive!"

Outside the city, on the official road

More than a hundred scaly horses roared and galloped, setting off bursts of smoke and dust, scaring pedestrians and business travelers on the road to panic and avoid them.

"There are so many soldiers, what happened?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, these are the personal guards of Prince Duan's Mansion, be careful not to get into trouble."

"What are you doing here? Why is there such a big fight?"

There were waves of doubtful discussions.

Wei Hong rode his scaled horse and blended in with the team without being conspicuous at all.

The 1,200-mile journey to Cangzhou takes only one day and night, and all the people present are warriors above the Blood Refining Realm, so there is no fatigue at all from the long journey.

Such a menacing group of people.

Naturally, there were no unsighted bandits who dared to provoke them along the way.

But Wei Hong was not happy at all. He realized that he might have jumped into a pit of fire. The people in Prince Duan's Mansion were not normal.

They sent a total of 120 royal guards!

These are all Blood Refining Realm martial artists, and they wear iron armor and are good at cooperating with each other. When fighting, they are all ruthless characters who can equal one to a hundred, which is much better than the martial arts of the major alliances.

The several personal commanders who lead these soldiers are even stronger at the Bone Refining Realm!

In addition, father and daughter Lu Shenghong and Lu Qingqing also traveled with the team.

They were also surrounded by a middle-aged man in purple robes, who were very respectful in their words and deeds.

This person's aura was as deep as the abyss, his eyes were sharp and terrifying, and every move seemed to carry the intimidation of a peerless ferocious beast. Even Leader Xiyue and others were frightened.

Wei Hong suspected that this person was probably from the legendary Zang Refining Realm!

This is a terrifying state where the internal organs can be tempered like fine steel, not afraid of any dark power, and the whole body has no weaknesses. It is also the last step to the innate state.

It is difficult to find one such strong person among millions of people.

But now the team of less than 200 people is actually led by someone from the Zang Refining Realm.

There are also nine Bone Refining Realm experts and more than 170 Blood Refining Realm experts. If this scale were brought to the battlefield, an army of ten thousand people could easily be defeated.

"The road ahead is dangerous!"

Wei Hong woke up secretly in his heart.

I just wanted to show off my martial arts skills for free this time and look for opportunities to get close to the Lu family.

Remember to run away immediately if there is danger, only fools would sacrifice their lives for Prince Duan's Mansion.

The group of people hurried along the official road.

After half a day, we directly crossed Minzhou and arrived at Yuzhou. In another half day's journey, we should be able to enter the land of Cangzhou. However, the road ahead is already covered with refugees and corpses. Obviously, life in these state capitals is not easy.

Although the team has never set foot in any city!

However, the numerous bones along the way still allowed Wei Hong to guess the tragic situation of the various states.

Natural disasters, military chaos, and strange rampages are all enough to make it difficult for the people at the bottom to survive. Although it is not as if everything is empty, it has become normal to exchange children for food.

"well!"

Wei Hong was unable to change much and could only sigh silently.

At night, the group finally entered Cangzhou.

This place is close to the battlefield between the counter-rebellion army and the anti-king coalition.

For more than half a year, the Mongolian generals have fought fiercely against the four rebel kings on their own. Cangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, and Qingzhou have almost become a mess. Various mountain bandits have been rampant and military disasters have continued. The people are almost forced to live. The point where I can’t go down.

Walking in this kind of place is very dangerous even for Duan Wangfu's team.

Firstly, they were afraid of encountering some unsighted rebels, and secondly, they were afraid of inexplicably breaking into the frontal battlefield, so the speed of the group gradually slowed down.

"Find a place to spend the night!" The middle-aged man in purple robe suddenly said: "This place is close to the battlefield. We have not informed any parties that it is not suitable to break in randomly. Let's go straight to the Dragon's Back Mountains at dawn tomorrow."

"yes!"

Several generals of the Duan Palace's personal guards clasped their fists in agreement.

He quickly waved his hand and sent out scouts to investigate the environment ahead.

There is a big river on the left and a densely forested mountain range on the right. There is no village in front of it or a store in the back. It can only be roughly distinguished from the map that it is near Dongshan Town on the border of Cangzhou.

"Why don't you go to the town to rest? You can't sleep well in the wilderness, and you can't eat well. How miserable you are!"

"What do you know? Maybe he deliberately stayed away from the town to keep his whereabouts secret."

"What the hell, sign up. There are so many of us traveling thousands of miles all the way. If any force with eyes can find out, what secret can we keep?"

"Yeah, it's so damn weird!"

The warriors from all the major alliances were discussing in low voices.

Wei Hong looked around cautiously and didn't say much.

After a while, the scout sent out came back and reported: "Sir, there is an abandoned village ahead, which can be used as a temporary place to stay."

"Walk!"

The middle-aged man in purple robe waved his hand, and the group of people galloped forward again.

After walking no more than three to five miles, an abandoned village actually appeared in front of us.

This village is built on the mountain, facing the river, and is close to the official road. The location and scenery are very good, but for some reason it is empty, and there are ruins everywhere, as if it has experienced many military disasters.

"Here you go, make a fire!"

The middle-aged man in purple robe got off his horse and signaled the guards to start working.

Upon seeing this, leader Xiyue also lowered his voice and said to everyone in Wufeng: "Make a fire and eat by yourself, be careful."

Naturally, everyone had no objections when they heard this.

Wei Hong found an abandoned house and tied his horse at the door.

They found some discarded hay and wood and quickly built a bonfire.

Ji Sanniang and several familiar warriors gathered together!

Everyone drank the water in their own kettles and roasted some dry food. Everyone was extremely alert, and it was obvious that they were all smart people.

"From what you said just now, are we going to the Dragon Ridge Mountains?" At this time, Ji Sanniang couldn't help but start a conversation.

"It should be!" A bald strong man sneered: "No wonder the Prince Duan's Mansion made such a big fuss. The Dragon Ridge Mountains are not a simple place. It spans several states and is extremely vast. Many places are rarely visited and are full of poisonous insects and beasts. Even the Bone Refining Realm dare not break in at will."

"Oh no, aren't we going to be cannon fodder?"

"Damn, I knew that the benefits of the Prince Duan's Mansion are not easy to get."

Everyone looked at each other with ugly faces.

Ji Sanniang smiled and comforted: "Who cares, we can stop the enemy and cover the water. We are not made of mud, and we are not afraid of going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"That makes sense!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wei Hong casually asked: "Do you know the origin of the leader of the Prince Duan's Mansion this time?"

"This is Senior Yuan Tianhua, the third steward of the palace. He was also famous in the martial arts world in the early years. Now he is at least in the middle stage of refining the internal organs." Ji Sanniang reminded in a low voice: "Beside him is Lu Shenghong, the first-class steward of the palace. The girl in blue should be Lu Shenghong's daughter. Now she is the personal maid of the third lady of the palace!"

After that!

Ji Sanniang couldn't help but mutter: "Strange, how could a maid be sent out?"

Wei Hong couldn't help but remain silent for a long time after hearing this.

It's true that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, no dog barks in front of the aristocratic house!

The enemy that he thought was so difficult to deal with was just the first-class steward of the palace?
