Chapter 43 The First Alliance
Chapter 43 First Front Alliance
...
On this side of the Tianji Mountains, the scenery is quite different from the northern country on the other end of the mountain. Although it is already early spring, in the Tianlan Empire, especially the Tianji Plateau, it should still be covered with snow and years of snow?
However, the vast ridge plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, which are like lying dragons, are like a giant barrier. Most of the cold winds from the frozen land of the northern extreme cold land blocked the other side, making the climate on this side of the Free Alliance much more humid and warm.
early spring.
There is almost no coolness here. Looking around, there is a lush and green field, mixed with various stars, and the scene of flowers and buds growing vigorously. A youthful vigor hits you.
The horse team moved forward carefully along the slightly rugged and steep mountain road. Because the horses were carrying goods, they all led the horses. However, those not expensive horses were good at camel cargoes. Short and strong miscellaneous horses could carry at least two or three hundred kilograms of weight, and walked forward slowly with small steps.
And the carriage is why it is old. The goods covered with felt are piled up very high, making the wheels squeak.
"Hey, brothers over there, we have no malice intentions, we just want to find out the way." Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian appeared on the left side of the horse team in a elusive way. In order to show that they were not robbers, Lei Qing raised his hands high and smiled.
Clang clang clang~ Back to them was a series of movements and sounds of drawing swords and swords. More than a dozen people on the other side had already entered the state of combat readiness at the first time, protecting the horses and goods behind, aiming at Lei Qing and the other two in a semicircular shape. At the end of the team, there were three or four archers.
The horses seemed to be trained to be very persuasive, and at this time, no one was yelling.
A yellow-faced man in a coarse linen linen came out, staring at Lei Qing and his two dogs with a bad look, as if he was looking at them. He held the Yanling Knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Friend, we are the horse team of the Li Chamber of Commerce. Don't just ask for trouble without opening your eyes."
Lei Qing glanced at him and felt that this person's aura could only be considered a careless person. He was almost at the high level of the Black Iron and the peak, and even the bronze level was invincible. However, even so, it could not be said that this team is a bottom.
In fact, a black iron level is already a very good little strong man. Some people who reach the bronze level have better choices. For example, joining some regular army, a serious background, may become a general in the future. Once there is an opportunity, it is not completely impossible to be a marquis or a title.
Just like the Lei family, it is a family of Wu Lixun, and most of the family's children will join the army to temper and grow. Lei Qing himself, if there was no such unexpected incident, he might have been thrown into the army and endured hardships now.
Of course, the Free Alliance is different from the Tianlan Empire. Tianlan is a strong empire, and the largest force in the country is the royal family, and the only orthodox. However, the Free Alliance is a super force formed by dozens or hundreds of various forces, among which the eighteen largest forces control the highest power of the Free Alliance. Under the eighteen major forces, there are many medium-sized forces attached to them, and under the medium-sized forces, a group of small forces are surrounded by them.
These large and small forces form the territory of the Free Alliance, but the Free Alliance is a semi-loose superpower. If nothing big happens, they usually have their own affairs. And the intertwined and complicated forces also cause complexity and chaos within the Free Alliance.
In terms of the internal environment, the Free Alliance is much more complex and chaotic than the Tianlan Empire with centralized monarchy. But at the same time, this is also the best place for those who like to make trouble. As long as you have the strength, willing to fight and join those large forces, it is also a positive and upright path.
This yellow-faced man in charge claims to be the horse team of the Li Chamber of Commerce. However, the Li Chamber of Commerce is one of the eighteen major forces in the Liberal League that control the alliance. This horse team is very likely to be just a vassal of the vassal of the Li Chamber of Commerce.
Lei Qing didn't care about these things, but smiled and bowed, saying, "This brother turned out to be from the famous Li Chamber of Commerce? I'm a wise man. My name is Zuo Qing, this is my sister Zuo Qianqian. We all come from the other side." As he said that, he pointed to the majestic and endless giant Hengduan Mountains. After bits of hardship, Lei Qing has now learned how to gradually restrain his energy, make himself look more low-key and return to nature. This is a must-pass path for human masters, and it also marks the control of his own fighting spirit and body to reach a meticulous level.
At that time, Lei Qing controlled some aura and asked the spirit-slaughter Ouyang Ba to miscalculate his strength, which led to Lei Qing's counterattack.
The yellow-faced man then looked solemn and stared at Lei Qing in surprise: "It turns out that he is a master. He can take your sister to read the Tianji Mountains together. It's amazing, great." Seeing the two of them looking dusty and incredible, the yellow-faced man believed it seven or eight.
"It's just a lucky person. We had no choice but to take the risk of smuggling through the enemy because we offended our enemies." Lei Qing said calmly and modestly: "Brother, we just want to find out where the nearest supply town is? We brother and sister need a place to rest."
After feeling that Lei Qing seemed to have good strength and was not trying to attack their horse team, the yellow-faced man suddenly became enthusiastic, waved his subordinates away, and said with a smile: "Who is not in trouble when you go out? It just so happens that our horse team is going to Qingshi Town, more than a hundred miles away to replenish supplies. Meeting is fate, so why not go with you? Also, my name is Jiang Yu. Thanks to the trust of my brothers, I took them to collect some mountain goods in the villages and earn some money to support the family. If you think of Brother Zuo, just call me Lao Jiang."
"So it's Brother Jiang." Lei Qing is also famous for her sweet-mouthed mouth and bowed with a smile: "Since Brother Jiang is so enthusiastic, our brother and sister are not familiar with the place here, so I will follow Brother Jiang."
"You're welcome. Everyone is on the road together in this wilderness forest." Jiang Yu smiled heartily: "Come on, free up a horse to let the little girl rest her legs and take a step."
Jiang Yu seemed to have a good reputation in this horse team. Although he had a lot of cargo capacity and it was difficult to get a horse. However, someone cleanly emptied a bunch of hair and led it to everyone.
Lei Qing did not refuse. He relied on his strong fighting spirit. Although he was a little embarrassed all the way, he could still persevere even though he endured hardship. But Zuo Qianqian was not only young, but also weak fighting spirit. Although she had never called hardship, Lei Qing knew how difficult it was for her to leave.
Like her sister, Lei Qing took her onto the horse with some indulgence and bowed to Jiang Yu, and everything was silent.
After two more people in the horse team, they set out again. After walking through a rugged mountain road, they gradually arrived on the plain road, which made it much smoother. Because of the load, the horse team was not moving fast and could only walk twenty or thirty miles in an hour. As a result, Lei Qing and the enthusiastic and cheerful Jiang Yu were chatting together.
I gradually gained a clear understanding of the Free Alliance, which only remained in the concept. The Free Alliance is called Freedom, but perhaps it is too free, with too complex power, and the level of public security is far inferior to the Tianlan Empire under the unified monarchy. The territory is full of corps, chambers of commerce, organizations, families, etc. Especially in this remote place, there are many bandits.
As a result, Jiang Yu organized a horse team to collect mountain goods, which seemed to be quite profitable, but in fact he was also frightened and needed to manage things everywhere. In addition, he also had to pay a considerable fee by placing the Li Chamber of Commerce brand. In the end, much less of what fell into everyone's hands.
As he was talking, a small group of cavalry appeared from a distance on the horizon several miles away, almost in a straight line, rushing towards the horse team. From a distance, you could already hear the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground.
Jiang Yu's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted: "Open the goods and get on the horse."
