Chapter 16 The Golden Road
"one!"
Li felt that his mentality had collapsed at this time. He really didn't want to continue staying in this place. He didn't just want to be tortured by the old man every day. At the same time, he also missed his former partners. Speaking of which, it was quite ironic. As a child who was trained as an assassin, Li should be very good in terms of loneliness or other aspects, but there is also a saying that if I had never seen the sun, I could withstand all the darkness.
"two!"
Li's expression had begun to become a little ferocious. The old man standing behind him also frowned at this time. He had been with Li for seven years and did not tell Li's temperament very clearly, but he also had a sense that if the current situation was in the past, Li would have begged for mercy on the spot, but now, Li has not moved, which made the old man a little annoyed.
For him, Li was actually not just a disciple, but also a partner. Even the old man himself couldn't remember clearly how many years he had been to the Ducasen Forest. Fortunately, he had a certain sense of freshness at the beginning, but ten, a hundred, and a thousand years later, the old man was always in this forest. No one said a word to him. Even anything in the Ducasen Forest had been clearly understood by him, but it was also boring. He was unwilling to let Li go, not only because he was afraid of exposing himself. The real reason was that this old man who didn't know his cultivation was lonely.
"three!"
The moment the number three came out, a vine suddenly appeared under the old man's feet and pierced directly into Li's head. But at this time, Li made a reaction that surprised the old man. Li turned around quickly, and then knelt down at him with heavy knees. When Li made this move, the vine had reached three centimeters in front of him, but finally stopped. At this time, the tip of the vine and Li's face were only one millimeter away.
The old man frowned and said in a very bad tone:
"What are you going to do? Are you going to beg for mercy like you did back then?"
There was no expression on Li's face except solemnity. He even ignored the vine that stopped between her eyebrows. His eyes were staring at the old man without any concessions, and said:
"Master, this is the first time I call you Master, and maybe it's the last time. Master, I really don't want to continue to stay in this place. I have my own life. I am very grateful that you were able to save me and teach me so many things. Even if you didn't show up, I would have been dead now. I know you need someone to accompany you, but I also have my things to do, I have the revenge I want to avenge, and my friends I meet. Even if I turn around and follow you now, how many years can I accompany you? I will leave after all."
Listening to Li's words, the old man's mouth twitched wildly, and his face became increasingly ugly. He seemed to feel extremely angry at Li's remarks, but it seemed that he had thought of something that he forgot about back then. The old man's whole aura suddenly became a little weird, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and erratic, but in the end, the old man moved.
I saw the jumping vine suddenly waved in the air, then suddenly slashed Li's stomach, and Li was immediately thrown out a long distance.
"If you want to go out, go out! The ungrateful wolf who is not familiar with it! Remember me that in the future, you will never allow you to mention my name and the affairs between us in front of anyone, otherwise, I can still kill you at the end of the world!"
When Li raised his head with difficulty, the old man had entered the forest, and even had no back left for Li. The only thing left was the sentence floating in the air. Li rubbed his broken ribs, slowly got up, and then bowed deeply to the place where the old man left for five minutes. After all this, Li immediately changed into a set of clothes, took out the mask he had prepared long ago, put it on, and strode away in an unknown direction.
"I'm back again in the Holy Spirit."
The Great Gobi of Kiro is a geographical location where the Flar Empire and the Budwell Empire intersect. It is full of wind and sand, and there is no green or water all year round. It is called the forbidden zone of life. But the Great Gobi of Kiro also has another name, called the Golden Road. If you want to get from the Flar Empire to the Budwell Empire, the shortest journey must be passed through this Great Gobi. The trade between the two countries is basically carried out on this road.
Although the climate here is harsh, water resources are scarce and sparsely populated, the transportation volume on this road every day is very large. If you use a number to define it, then at least tens of billions of gold coins will be circulated on this road every day. This is why this road is called the Golden Road, because the value of the goods transported on this road every day is enough for gold, and a road will be made on this Great Gobi Desert.
Bidongge is a minister of cargo transportation under the Kuas Chamber of Commerce. His daily work is to transport countless supplies from the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of the Budwell Empire to the Vlaal Empire. Today, he still takes his own team to carry out this work that has been done for almost a hundred years. However, today, what is different from usual is that there are two more men in his team. Two men who claim to be visiting relatives in the Vlaal Empire, but are blocked because of the level.
Their clothes were not rich, and they could even be said to be poor. The clothes made of coarse cloth were covered with patches, and the two looked like they were already forty years old. However, because their identities were poor people from a small city on the border of the Budwell Empire, they could not enter the Flaal Empire through the border. "Ctually," they met Bidong.
Of course, as a businessman, Bidongge naturally would not have brought these two strangers with him just because of his kindness. The reason why he was willing to bring these two men was that they had no cultivation and were both ordinary people. It was impossible for them to be an undercover agent who planned to transport goods. Second, these two men took out all their property and ten gold coins. Although ten gold coins were nothing to Bidongge, no matter how thin the mosquito legs were, they were still flesh.
