Chapter 158: The Vast Road (I) Entering the River

Hexia County is located in the southeast.

Starting from the west of Liushui County, you need to cross most of Liushui County to enter Hexia County. Moreover, after entering Hexia County, you need to go south to finally reach your destination.

In this era, this journey is very long. It takes a full half month for a single person to walk. Even if Chen's group has a carriage and horses, there are only a lot of people walking. Therefore, Chen Nuo estimates that it may take more than half a month or even a month to reach this distance.

Fortunately, Chen Nuo did a good job of preparation, with sufficient food reserves, armed escort, and Zhenhong Sect.

Therefore, in the first three days, no accidents happened. The county town passed by also opened the city gate, and the mountain kings also gave face to Zhenhong Sect.

However.

The further you go, the more wrong the situation is.

There are more and more refugees.

There are mixed people among the refugees, and they are all fleeing because they can't survive. They are most short of food. How can these people give up when they meet such a team.

This is not.

A team of more than 2,000 refugees rushed towards this side.

Chen Nuo's face was ugly. To be honest, he didn't want to attack unarmed people, but since they were looking for death, there was nothing he could do for self-protection.

No hesitation.

Chen Nuo put on heavy armor and rode on horses with Chen Yong as the first.

He led 200 armored soldiers and pressed forward directly.

Leading the way!

The heavy hammer was swung, and it was full of blood.

Even Chen Nuo was swinging his sword continuously. Under the strong force, he was injured if he touched it, and he died if he touched it.

Refugees are just refugees. When they saw death, the madness brought by hunger temporarily subsided, and they began to flee in all directions.

Chen Nuo did not chase them, and stopped Chen Yong who was a little bit angry, and returned to the team.

"Let's go."

Chen Nuo sighed and said.

Sometimes reality is so helpless, it's good enough to take care of yourself.

He has to be responsible for himself, his family, and his clansmen.

Chen Nuo wiped the blood off the knife with a cloth, and his eyes gradually became firm.

After a brief correction.

The journey began again.

This was destined to be a difficult migration.

But Chen Nuo firmly believed in his own judgment.

…

The dangers on the road were not just the refugees.

There were also poisonous insects and beasts everywhere. The further south you went, the more these things there were.

Poisonous snakes, flying insects, wolves, tigers...

Sometimes Chen Nuo even wondered, in this southern land, are there more people or beasts?

There is no answer to this question at present.

Fortunately, no strange beasts were encountered on the road for the time being.

And these ordinary beasts were easily dispersed by Chen Nuo, and he even tamed a few wild wolves as scouts in his spare time.

There was also a tiger following around.

It gave the team a lot of convenience and dispersed many blind beasts and people.

Soon, eight days had passed since the departure.

During these eight days, everyone was very tired and kept moving.

They had to start moving before dawn and stopped to rest until the sun set.

That is, in this era, everyone was digging for food in the fields. Their feet were very hard and they had enough physical strength. Otherwise, they would not be able to walk for such a long time.

It was not easy for more than 2,000 people to march. Eating, drinking, defecating, queue formation, marching speed...

These were all problems.

As the commander, Wei Shuao had a hard time marching long distances.

Chen Nuo also participated in it, and brought some talented children and teenagers with him.

Even on the migration road, learning cannot be left behind.

In other words, this migration itself is a special experience!

It may be very beneficial for their future.

The tenth day.

Finally, someone had a problem.

Several people fell ill due to fatigue and heatstroke. After drinking the medicine prepared by Chen Nuo, they got better a lot.

But it also reminded Chen Nuo that the current marching speed was still a bit fast.

If this continued, more people would be exhausted.

Chen Nuo had to slow down the speed a little and added a rest in the middle.

Even so, there were still people who fell ill, which continued to slow down the marching speed.

On the thirteenth day.

That is, when they were about to reach the border between Liushui County and Hexia County, Chen Nuo and his team finally met a strong man who could not even save the face of the Zhenhong Sect.

A mountain bandit.

It seemed that there were more than 400 people. The leader was a skin and flesh realm. There were also skin and flesh realm bandits behind him. They were also wearing leather armor, with swords and a small number of bows and crossbows, and looked quite fierce.

They were asked to leave money to buy their way through.

Chen Nuo wanted to just give some money as a token of his appreciation, but unfortunately, the other side disagreed.

"Haha, you are such a big team, and you only give me this little money? Who are you looking down on!"

"I tell you, hand over one-fifth of your wealth, otherwise you will die!"

The fierce man with white eyebrows in the lead shouted so.

Chen Nuo had a cold face.

He knew why the people in front of him dared to be so arrogant.

First, they did not show their strength. The private soldiers and the militia were scattered in front, behind, left and right.

Second, they felt that they had many concerns and wanted to take a gamble.

Third, they are greedy. Seeing such a large team passing by, how could bandits not be greedy?

Licking his lips, Chen Nuo's left eye shone with a golden light.

The next moment.

Puff!

Blood splattered.

Some of the people behind the white-browed man actually started killing each other, "Gold, gold, I don't have gold, give me gold, it's all my gold!!"

Taking advantage of the chaos on the other side, Chen Nuo led the charge.

boom!

The strength of the Muscle and Bone Realm surged, and when it came to people, they smashed them everywhere, and the person they hit turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

Bandits were lying on the ground all around.

In just one cup of tea, more than 400 gangsters were killed in the hands of Chen Nuo and the others.

Because Chen Nuo and Chen Yong were the main force, the casualties among the soldiers were not large. Under Chen Nuo's powerful treatment, only three or four people died.

Chen Yong walked out of the bloody mud, his eyes red.

The armor all over his body was dripping with blood and internal organs, and fell to the ground in a sticky mess.

Chen Yong had killed the most people just now. Among the more than 400 people, he killed hundreds of people alone. He even tore a bandit alive with his killing spree.

Many bandits were frightened and ran away.

But Chen Nuo did not reprimand Chen Yong as usual.

Chen Yong is very murderous, this is something Chen Nuo has known for a long time.

This is certainly not a good thing.

But this time and that time.

This is a road of death, with dangers everywhere, either you die or I die.

So, some things can be put aside.

"Clean up and don't scare the people in the team."

Hearing Chen Nuo's words, Chen Yong showed an "embarrassed" smile, "Oh, I know."

Later, Chen Nuo returned to the team.

In the team.

Everyone is watching and waiting.

Although I believe Chen Nuo, after all, Chen Nuo has always had a high prestige, I am still a little nervous.

At this moment, I saw Chen Nuo coming back.

They couldn't help but shout.

Chen Nuo walked from front to back and showed his face in front of everyone to stabilize people's hearts.

And then back to the middle.

Exhaled.

Ning Hongye came forward and took off his helmet, while Wang Qingxuan removed his armor.

He stretched out his arms and let the two women tidy them up for him.

Chen Nuo was thinking about where to go next.

Because the road ahead is not going to be easy.

There are many difficulties, refugees, bandits, wild beasts, and there is still a road.

Some roads are difficult to pass and require careful exploration.

Chen Nuo thought carefully, while the two girls helped quietly beside him without making any noise.

Day 15.

Reaching the border with difficulty.

A piece of bad news was reported by Long Yuan who came back from the front.

Ahead, there was a chaotic battle between the armies in Hexia County. It seemed that a powerful army and a refugee army were fighting against each other.

The powerful force has about two thousand troops, while the refugee side has tens of thousands of people. The details are unknown.

The two sides were inextricably fighting from the front.

One party has high quality, and the other party has many people.

"Clan leader, what should we do now?"

"Take shelter for now and get out of here."

"yes."

But.

Next, after entering Hexia County, we encountered more and more chaotic fighting situations.

The melee ranges from one or two thousand people to tens of thousands.

We met seven or eight times, big and small.

Obviously.

The confusion began to intensify.

Chen Nuo and others even saw the refugees attacking the city!

Fifty thousand refugees attacked a small county.

People are like ants, a mass of black people. Like ants, they are constantly climbing towards the city wall, piling up the city wall with their corpses.

When the city was broken, flames shot into the sky and screams were heard everywhere.

Chen Nuo and others didn't look any further. They hurriedly returned to the team and left there in a hurry.

This time the refugees attacked the city, and Chen Nuo seriously suspected that there were Bai Ling cultists inside.

After that, the walking routes became more and more remote, and I specifically found those trails to walk on. The advantages of doing so were obvious.

At least, the number of large-scale battles has been significantly reduced. However, the speed has become slower and slower, and the number of encounters with bandits has also increased.

The Zhenhong Sect's reputation was completely useless at this time. They were not good at all. Moreover, it seemed that many of the bandits here had just fallen into the grass and had no sharp eyesight at all.

Regardless of the elite appearance of Chen Nuo and others, or the number of people on the other side, as long as it was an individual, they would dare to come down and grab them without fear at all!

In the end, I was able to pass smoothly by relying on the Huanshou Dao to speak.

Walk all the way.

Finally we arrived at the central part of Hexia County.

Here, there are more and more hills, mountains and other terrains.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that Chen Nuo and others met people from other ethnic groups!

That's right.

other ethnic groups.

Also has yellow skin.

But he has disheveled hair, animal skin clothing, strong physique, and rude behavior. Although he has language and wisdom, he is very aggressive and bloodthirsty.

This is a unifying characteristic.

That's right.

These ethnic groups are the Yi people shared by Hexia County and Yun State.

Yi people is a large general term, and no one knows how many subdivisions there actually are.

Of course, Yue people are not interested in knowing.

People of these groups are common and common in south-central Hexia County.

They often come out to rob the mountains. No, Chen Nuo and the others encountered them.

A group of tall Yiren with tattoos, disheveled hair and genetic skull necklaces hanging around their necks stood at the front.

Behind them were hundreds of equally tall Yi people.

He was holding a bone knife and standing behind him to demonstrate towards Chen Nuo and others.
