Along the way, Lin Sen was worried that the He family would come looking for him again, so he just kept urging the driver to speed up, hoping to get away from Orchid City as soon as possible.
Three days passed, and nothing he worried about happened, but the driver was not happy anymore.
He could only rest for a few hours every day and spent most of his time on the road.
People can bear it, but the horses pulling the carts can't bear it either.
What's more, these horses are tools for the cartmen to make a living, so of course they can't bear to consume such horsepower.
Fortunately, they were far away from Orchid City.
Lin Sen insisted on going on the road and ordered the convoy to stop early and spend the night near the river.
The driver took the horses pulling the cart to the downstream river and mixed them with coarse grains and fodder so that the horses could eat and drink enough to regain their strength.
Several warriors from the Lin family escorting the convoy set up an iron pot, lit a pile of dry firewood underneath, and started to make a fire to cook and prepare dinner.
Night falls soon, the bonfire is burning slowly, and the elves of the flames swing and jump with the wind, happily like a group of dancers, swaying and swaying.
A group of people sat around the fire, their faces turned red like red apples by the firelight.
Three such fires were lit.
One group was the driver driving the carriage, another group was the warriors guarding the motorcade, and the last group had the smallest number of people sitting around, only three people, sitting next to the fire.
"Master Gu, two days' walk further is the Black Dragon Valley.
As long as you pass through the Black Dragon Valley, you will reach a plain.
By then we will have reached the boundary of Youlan City."
Lin Sen added firewood to the fire. said.
Close the mouth and heart chapter At the same time, he secretly glanced at Gu Tian, who was sitting in the middle, and sighed in his heart.
He seemed to be a little younger than himself, but he was already an innate powerhouse.
He was just a seventh-level warrior with inner strength.
"How far is it from Yunwu City where your Lin family is located?"
Gu Tian sat on a wooden pillar and put his hands on the fire.
"At the current speed, it will take about half a month.
However, if you want to hurry up, Master Gu, you can ask Lin Lin to accompany you on horseback back to Yunwu City.
You should be able to arrive in five or six days."
Lin Sen accompanied him. said.
The Lin Lin he mentioned was his fourth sister, and the last person sitting next to the fire with them.
Gu Tian shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't be too anxious, I will go back to Yunwu City with the convoy."
"Everything must be obeyed by Master Gu."
Lin Sen echoed from the side.
But Lin Lin suddenly said: "I heard that there are often horse thieves in the Black Dragon Valley.
Should we prepare in advance so that we can take some precautions?"
Lin Sen smiled calmly and said: "With Master Gu here, it's better that the thieves don't come.
If they come, I'll make sure they never come back."
As the words fell, a strong confidence suddenly arose in him.
To be precise, he had strong confidence in Gu Tian who was sitting in front of the fire.
After listening to his words, Lin Lin thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
As long as Master Gu was in the convoy, those horse thieves would really come to rob their convoy, and they would definitely be able to walk around without food.
Thinking of this, Lin Lin felt relieved, took the remaining half of the cake, threaded it on a thin stick, and baked it on the fire.
At this moment, three fast horses were running past on the road in the distance, and they deliberately slowed down when approaching the river bank where their team was resting.
One of them stretched his head and glanced in the direction of the fire, then used the riding crop in his hand to whip the horse under him again, speeding up and leaving.
"What kind of emergency is this?
We have to rush on so late at night."
Everyone in the convoy noticed the three people passing by on horseback.
Lin Lin frowned and asked in confusion.

"Those people are horse thieves, and the direction they went to is Black Dragon Valley."
Lin Sen explained, but his tone was very relaxed, and he did not feel nervous at all after knowing that the other party was a horse thief.
After hearing this, Lin Lin curled her lips and said: "Don't lie to me, don't think that I don't know.
There are at least a dozen horse thieves out there, how can there be only three people."
Lin Sen looked at his sister Lin Lin and said: "This is your first time escorting goods, so you don't know.
When I was with my second uncle, we often encountered this kind of situation.
Who are the three people just here?
Stepping on the plate.”
"What does stepping on a plate mean?"
Lin Lin asked doubtfully, "Aren't horse thieves just a bunch of people coming roaring in, and after robbing them, they roar away again, coming and going without a trace?"
She had never traveled far, so her knowledge of horse thieves came from what others had told her, and she had never had any personal contact with them.
The horse thieves in her mind were a group of people who, under the leadership of a leader, robbed the goods of passing merchants, and then returned to their lair to share the stolen goods.
There was no trouble like stepping on plates.
"As the art of war goes, if you know yourself and your enemy you can fight a hundred battles, and the same goes for horse thieves."
Lin Sen shook his head and said, "Did you notice those people on the horse?
They slowed down a bit when they approached our convoy.
At that time, they were observing the people in our convoy. of cargo and number of escorts.”
"Oh, I understand.
The more they know about us, the more confident they will be in keeping our team."
Lin Lin suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's what it looks like, but" as he spoke, Lin Sen looked at Gu Tian, who was sitting on the wooden pillar and warming himself up by the fire, "They must have never imagined that Master Gu is actually in charge of our convoy."
"Those horse thieves will be unlucky if they encounter our convoy."
Lin Lin said domineeringly.
Gu Tian, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly asked: "How far is it from Black Dragon Valley?"
Lin Sen hurriedly replied: "It takes about two days to form, but if you walk faster, you can get there in one and a half days."
Gu Tian nodded without saying a word, got up and went back to the carriage to rest.
Lin Sen and Lin Lin looked at each other, a little confused as to what Gu Tian's words meant.
In the end, the two of them attributed this to the quirks of the innately strong.
After a night of silence, a bright light just appeared on the horizon, and the morning sun only showed half of the head.
Everyone in the team had packed up and started on the road.
They spent the whole day on the road, and when they were resting at night, several more horse thieves riding fast horses passed by their convoy.
Lin Sen knew in his heart that tomorrow night would be the time when he would encounter a large group of horse thieves.
Although he was not afraid and knew that there was an innate strong man in his convoy, he was still a little nervous.
After all, this was the first time that he independently led a team to escort the Lin family's goods.
As usual, the journey started once daylight broke out, but the guards guarding the convoy all looked nervous, and everyone was always paying attention to the vicinity.
I think these guards who have escorted the goods more than once also understand what they will encounter when they arrive at the Black Dragon Valley
