Chapter 67 Black Armored Army, assassination in the mountains!

Running around for half a day

Wei Hong and his team rushed to three villages non-stop before finally loading the convoy to the full capacity.

Each of the more than ten wheelbarrows carried three or four fat pigs. Four or five mountain men were hired behind the convoy to help drive away dozens of goats.

"Walking faster, let's eat some dry food to satisfy our hunger after we pass the mountain col ahead!"

"These pigs and sheep have not been fed. They must rush back to the butcher shop in the afternoon. Hurry, hurry!"

Tan Fei shouted and patrolled with sharp eyes.

Everyone did not dare to neglect, and gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

A cart of pigs weighs several hundred kilograms, and the mountain roads are muddy and bumpy. Even though the swordsmen are martial arts practitioners with arm strength of several hundred kilograms, they can't help but gasp for breath at this moment.

Among them, Li Daniu is the most strenuous!

After all, compared to other veteran swordsmen, he was the weakest and had the smallest arm strength. In addition, he did not have much experience in pushing carts, so his face turned pale from exhaustion.

"Daniu, stop for a moment." Upon seeing this, Wei Hong said quickly: "You can put another pig on my car, I still have some energy left."

"No, no, no." Li Daniu blushed and said, "How can I let you do my job? And you already carry one more car than me."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Wei Hong could not refuse and stopped the wheelbarrow.

He directly threw a pig and its cage into his car and tied it up, then easily pushed the car up and motioned for him to follow the convoy.

At this point, there are only two pigs left in Li Daniu's car!

There were actually five pig cages piled on Wei Hong's car.

His hands were like iron pliers holding onto the handlebars. The wheels creaked under the weight of hundreds of kilograms, as if they would fall apart at any time. However, he remained motionless, and his body did not sway in the slightest.

"Made, this monster is so powerful?"

"Something's wrong, isn't he just in the middle stage of skin refining? I'm not as strong as him in the late stage of skin refining!"

"Bah! Comparing people to each other is irritating, but Mader is unlucky!"

The swordsmen cursed in a low voice, their faces full of envy and displeasure.

Even Tan Fei couldn't help but look at it a few more times in surprise.

Wei Hong turned a deaf ear to this, so he didn't bother to pay attention to others.

Even Tan Fei didn't want to talk to him!

Showing some strength is to tell them that you are not someone to be trifled with and don't rush into trouble.

The convoy moved forward in this strange atmosphere.

After passing a mountain col and approaching the official road, Tan Fei finally raised his hand to signal to stop.

"Take a rest and eat some solid food." Tan Fei made arrangements: "After getting off the official road, we can walk ten miles back to the city. You guys need to work harder."

"Phew! I can finally rest, I'm so exhausted!"

"My legs are going to break. Drink some water first!"

Everyone sighed and wiped their sweat.

Li Daniu parked the wheelbarrow and awkwardly handed over the cowhide kettle.

"Brother Hong, drink some water." Li Daniu said with a smile, "It's my first time to go out to collect pigs and I have to help you. I'm really sorry!"

"Don't talk about this." Wei Hong waved his hand nonchalantly and joked casually: "It's just a little effort. Do you think I'm tired?"

"You are really a monster!" Li Daniu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

You must know that he was the one who taught Wei Hong to practice the "Thirteen Postures of the Tiger"!

Now that his arm strength is only three to four hundred kilograms, Wei Hong is already unfathomable. This gap is really exaggerated.

"Eat some dry food and rest for a while." Wei Hong reminded: "We still have to walk ten miles later."

"It will be more comfortable to take the official route later."

Li Daniu muttered as he broke open the pancake and started eating.

The environment when going out to collect pigs is difficult, and a stack of flatbread is everyone's lunch.

Wei Hong didn't mind it either, so he picked up two of them and started chewing them.

But just after taking a few bites, he saw a group of bicycle racks coming from a distance on the official road below.

This carriage has a luxurious and domineering frame, and is pulled by six scaly horses with the blood of demonic beasts. It is guarded by dozens of black armored cavalry at the front and rear. The formation is quite large.

There are many dignitaries and royal relatives in the divine capital, but not many of them perform in such a grand manner.

For a while, other people's eyes couldn't help but be attracted.

"This is? The Black-armored Army? No, isn't the Black-armored Army resisting barbarians on the border? Why are they here?"

"What do you know? These are the elites of the Black Armor Army, the guards around General Meng."

"General Meng is preparing to be called up to fight?"

Everyone was surprised and started talking.

Wei Hong also roughly understood the owner of this pair of frames.

The Meng clan was one of the five top clans in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their descendants were spread all over the state capitals, and their power was so intricate that it was terrifying.

Meng Beiyue, the seventeenth generation descendant of the Meng family, is even more prominent among the powerful.

His talent in martial arts has been astonishing since he was a child. He entered the Bone Refining Realm at the age of sixteen, the Zang Refining Realm at the age of eighteen, and was already a strong Xiantian Realm before the age of twenty-five.

He has fought in all directions throughout his life and made great achievements!

The 100,000 black-armored troops under his command are the elite among the elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now he is over forty years old. Not only does he have a high prestige in the military, but he is also famous in both the government and the public. He is called a military god.

However, in the past few years, in order to avoid the emperor's fear, Meng Beiyue deliberately claimed that he was ill and had been living in Crouching Tiger Villa, a hundred miles away from the divine capital.

Now his frame is here!

Needless to say, one should know that the court was preparing to send him to quell the rebellion.

"I heard that the rebellions among the vassals in various places are intensifying, and the court can no longer sit still!" Wang Dazhi couldn't help but said: "The prince strongly recommended General Meng to go out to fight the rebellion, but Meng Beiyue declined because of his old wounds. Several times, I’m afraid I won’t be able to push it away this time!”

"It's good to suppress the rebellion. I heard that soldiers and bandits are rampant in Cangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and the people are displaced and miserable. It's really pitiful!"

"Yes, the Great Zhou Dynasty has become more and more turbulent in recent years. Is this a sign of the country's demise?"

"Who knows? The demise of the country has little to do with us."

Everyone was chatting.

Wei Hong stared at the black armor cavalry with burning eyes.

These cavalrymen were tall and strong, and both the people and horses were wearing heavy armor. From a distance, there was a terrifying blood and evil spirit sweeping over, giving people an amazing sense of oppression.

It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like if such a terrible army charged on the battlefield as a whole. I am afraid that even the mountains could be flattened!

Maybe Wei Hong's eyes were too hot!

Maybe the black armor army was too vigilant!

Separated by half a mountain, a line of sight had already swept over, frightening Li Daniu and others so much that their faces turned pale, and even Wei Hong seemed to be struck by lightning.

"Cry!"

A falcon made a long cry in the sky.

The black-armored soldiers slowly withdrew their sight.

It was obvious that they had also judged that Wei Hong and others were not a threat, and they were too lazy to look at them any more.

But just when the convoy was about to leave the mountains!

A dense rain of arrows accompanied by shouts of killing suddenly sounded.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Puff, puff, puff!"

A large number of assassins in black clothes and masks holding military crossbows and swords rushed out of the mountains and forests.

They directly surrounded the carriage of Meng Beiyue under the protection of the black-armored soldiers.

A sudden assassination broke out!
