After walking for about an hour, the sky was getting dark, and the caravan found a slope covered with trees to rest for a while.
The Xu family's caravan travels outside all year round, so of course they understand the common sense of being condescending.
Otherwise, if someone is unfavorable and is condescended to by dozens of riders, the situation will be chaotic and countless casualties will occur.
The convoy formed a circle, surrounded the goods, lit a bonfire for lighting, and then repaired when it was time to do repairs and went on night watch when it was time to watch.
Everyone performed their duties and cooperated very skillfully.
Nanhai County is not as developed as Anzhou City.
There are high mountains between the towns.
It is common to sleep in the wilderness.
It is already common for people from the Xu family caravan.
Qin Ming has now put on clean clothes given by the Xu family.
Although they are coarse cloth and the fabric is not expensive, they are very clean and fit.
After tying up his horse, Qin Ming found a tree root outside the caravan and sat down, taking a noodle cake handed over by Lao Zhang.
Someone next to him seemed to be displeased and yelled: "Old Zhang, this kid doesn't even have any strength, why are you so nice to him?"
"What do you know?
This is the time when young man is growing.
If he doesn't eat more, he will be as short and small as me.
What will he do if he can't get a wife in the future?"
Lao Zhang frowned, feigning anger.
Qin Ming smiled but said nothing.
In fact, with Qin Ming's current level of cultivation, he would be fine even if he didn't eat for three or four days.
However, Qin Ming was unwilling to refuse Lao Zhang's kindness.
He took the noodles in his hand and said with a smile: "Where are we going?"
"Go to Nanhai City and walk another fifty or sixty miles to get there.
If Mr.
Qin wants to go back, he only needs to find a horse and carriage company and walk more than two hundred miles north before he can return to Anzhou County.
's territory."
Lao Zhang also sat down, relaxed his sore waist, and said with emotion: "When you get old, it will be faster to walk dozens of miles.
If you were young," "Mrs.
Xu is getting older.
After finishing this job, she will stop working.
I am afraid that the world will be dominated by young people in the future.
It is time for us old people to take a rest."
Maybe they talked too much during the day.
After Lao Zhang and Qin Ming chatted for a few words, they hugged the riding whip and fell asleep.
Qin Ming was not sleepy.
He had practiced to this point, and it didn't matter whether he slept or not.
He just used his sleeping time to practice.
In martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Only by practicing diligently can you go higher and further than others.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Only a dozen stars can penetrate the clouds and cast a silvery glow.
It was a perfect weather for Qin Ming to practice Yangxingchen Body Refining Technique.
With a mysterious figure, Qin Ming easily bypassed the night watchers, found a remote place, and began to practice the Yang Star Body Refining Technique.
Following the exercise route of the Yang Star Body Refining Technique, Qin Ming sat cross-legged, constantly absorbing the power of Zhou Tianxing.
The star power in the night sky hangs down, falling continuously on Qin Ming's body, running along the meridians, and finally merges into the sea of qi.

After a great cycle, Qin Ming's belly was filled with stars, and he felt as if his hair was being washed and his marrow was being washed away, and his whole body felt extremely refreshed.
Qin Ming knew in his heart that his true energy was infinitely close to the realm of Gang Qi, and he was only one step away from stepping into the realm of the seventh level of Gang Qi in body refining.
"This last step is indeed difficult to overcome.
I am now at the peak of the sixth level of body refining.
If I continue to practice like this, the effect will not be great.
I am afraid that I will have to break through in the juncture of a life and death battle."
Qin Ming understood in his heart that although the battle with the second master was fierce, he had always relied on various tricks and there was no real life and death fight.
While he was thinking, Qin Ming felt the sound of light footsteps coming to his ears.
In the wilderness, if someone suddenly appears, it will naturally not be a good thing.
Qin Ming's heart moved, and he jumped up on the trunk of a nearby tree like a raccoon cat, squatting quietly and restraining his voice.
The person who appeared here turned out to be the scar-faced guard leader of the Xu family.
Qin Ming was confused.
Leader Wu came here alone, and his behavior was sneaky.
He didn't look like he was on night patrol at all.
"There's something weird about this guy" Qin Ming was also a veteran at tracking, and his cultivation was far superior to that of Leader Wu.
He followed him quietly without letting him notice at all.
It wasn't until he reached the back of a slope that Leader Wu finally slowed down.
It was pitch dark on this slope, with only a small fire break emitting a faint light.
If you looked at it from the caravan's station, you wouldn't be able to spot it at all.
Although the night was dark, Qin Ming, with his keen sense, discovered that at least thirty-four people were already waiting on the slope.
These people all wore black cloth covering their faces, holding weapons, and even the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth to prevent them from making any noise.
"The clothes and weapons of these people are the same as those of the Sulfur Mountain horse bandits who besieged Qin's mine that day.
Could it be that they are from Sulfur Mountain?"
Qin Ming glanced over and felt that this group of people looked very familiar, and was secretly surprised.
"Leader Wu, what's the situation?
Our more than thirty brothers in Sulfur Mountain are already waiting impatiently."
Seeing Scarface approaching, the leader of this group of gangsters laughed and said.
This man had a strong build, his arms were as thick as an ordinary person's, and his body was bulging with muscles.
He looked extremely ferocious.
He was living up to his honor by not being a bandit.
"Fourth Master, I have put medicine in the water and food today.
It should be almost possible to have an attack at night."
Leader Wu nodded, snorted coldly, and said, "We agreed, after the deal is done, I only want 30% of the goods, but Mrs.
Xu must give it to me."
Seeing that Leader Wu only took 30% of the money, the fourth leader's face looked a little better.
Who doesn't like money?
"Boss Wu, your taste is quite unique, but I see that Mrs.
Xu has taken good care of her.
Maybe she will have a different taste now," the fourth master said with a lewd smile on his face.
"Hmph, this bitch, I worked hard with her back then to create such a huge foundation for the Xu family.
She lost her husband in her early years and had no children.
She thought that I would have a share in the Xu family's huge industry, but she didn't know that she didn't have any If you don’t miss old feelings, it’s no wonder I’m being unkind.”
Leader Wu said viciously with a sinister look on his face.
Qin Ming suddenly understood.
During the day, Lao Zhang had said that Mrs.

Xu would wash her hands in a golden basin after completing this trip.
It seems that Leader Wu did not get enough benefits, so he immediately rebelled.
Qin Ming secretly sighed in his heart.
Every family has a hard-to-recite sutra.
The word "profit" comes first, and most people will be obsessed with profit.
The Xu family is like this, why not the Qin family?
My cousin Qin Heng played well with me back then, but who would have thought that after so many years, the two brothers would actually become sworn enemies?
The group chatted for a few more words, and seemed to have made up their minds.
They agreed to let Wu Tou head back first and prepare to cooperate internally and externally.
However, the group of horse bandits from Sulfur Mountain waited another quarter of an hour before setting off immediately to capture the Xu family's caravan.
Qin Ming secretly estimated in his heart that this group of people seemed to be menacing, but to him they were not worth mentioning at all.
The cultivation level of this fourth master is only about the fifth level of body refining.
Not only is it not as good as the second master, but it is also far behind the third master.
But think about it, this Sulfur Mountain is just a bandit den.
It would be great to have these few masters to support the scene.
How can there be so many masters in the Gangqi realm.
How can a true master, who at worst works as a guard for a wealthy family, become a bandit?
Now that they have met, Qin Ming has no reason not to sit idly by.
Not to mention that Mrs.
Xu has made a very good impression on Qin Ming.
Even because of the hatred between the Sulfur Mountain and himself, Qin Ming will also intervene.
Qin Ming quietly returned to the caravan and returned to the place where he was originally lying.
Seeing Leader Wu, who was one step behind him, return to the caravan as if nothing had happened, he suddenly sneered.
Sure enough, not long after, I heard the light of a torch approaching in the distance, and the faint sound of horse hooves.
The night watchman noticed the situation first and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Enemy attack" "There are enemies, at least thirty riders."
There was a moment of commotion in the caravan.
People woke up from their sleep and drowsily grabbed their weapons to prepare for the enemy's attack.
Qin Ming didn't panic at all, he just stared at Leader Wu, checking his reaction.
Leader Wu's acting skills are also top-notch.
One moment he kicks a guard awake, and the next he directs people to hide in the carriage.
Only Qin Ming could tell that Leader Wu's movements were deliberately slow, leaving several weak parts in the formation.
At this moment, someone next to Qin Ming suddenly shouted loudly.
"That's the boy named Qin.
I didn't see him when I went to pee just now."
"I said this guy came here strangely.
Could he be an enemy spy?"
Soon someone in the caravan shouted angrily.
It's no wonder that Qin Ming, as an outsider, suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.
At this moment, enemies suddenly attacked.
How to make them not suspicious?
One of the guards looked at Qin Ming, his eyes were red, and he raised his knife and was about to strike at Qin Ming.
Lao Zhang was shocked and angry.
He immediately protected Qin Ming and cursed: "Don't do anything.
Didn't your kid just disappear for a while and get up all night to force you to say that you are a spy?"

He had never married a wife and had children in his life.
Ever since he saw Qin Ming during the day, he felt inexplicably pleasing to his eyes and immediately protected Qin Ming without thinking.
"Why panic?
From now on, everyone will obey my orders."
Mrs.
Xu suddenly appeared and yelled: "Send a signal to the night watchmen and ask them to return immediately.
The old and the weak hide in the inner circle, while the rest of the people wait with me on the outside to meet the enemy."
"You're lucky kid" The guard who just wanted to chop Qin Ming spat, cursed, and ran forward.
Seeing Mrs.
Xu appear, this group of people seemed to have seen a backbone.
Years of training allowed them to quickly regain their composure and form a formation.
The remaining twenty-odd guards took advantage of the terrain to form a circle around the caravan's carriages and belongings.
They braced themselves and prepared to resist the enemy's attack.
Just as the horse bandits were getting ready to approach, suddenly, there were just a few clanging sounds, and the weapons in the hands of several guards suddenly fell off, and people suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell limply to the ground.
The remaining dozen guards also felt sick in their stomachs, their arms were so limp that they could hardly wield their weapons.
When Mrs.
Xu saw this situation, she still didn't understand what happened.
"Someone poisoned" Although her face remained calm, her heart suddenly sank.
