On the rugged dirt road, there was a small pair of people walking slowly.
This was the convoy that Zhuo Yu was following.
They had left Snake Village for seven days.
Zhuo Yu left Snake Village for the first time.
He specially wore a set of clean clothes, carrying a baggage and a long sword wrapped in linen.
His hair was neatly combed, and his handsome face was washed clean.
His dark eyes were full of curiosity.
Judging from his clothes and eyes, he looked like a poor boy who had never seen the world.
The caravan he is following now is a small caravan, escorted by only one warrior, with two carriages and two cargo carriages.
The four carriages were followed by four strong men, and Zhuo Yu and the strong men followed the carriages.
These merchants specifically go into these remote mountainous areas to buy the furs of wild beasts and wild herbs.
They buy them at a low level, then go to the city and sell them at more than ten times the price, which is very profitable.
Zhuo Yu looks young, but his body and bones are very strong.
Walking a little is nothing.
Five days have passed, and there is no sign of fatigue on his face.
He is still full of energy and full of energy.
It was very peaceful along the way, without wild beasts or bandits, so Zhuo Yu didn't see the warrior take action, which made him a little disappointed.
"I finally left Snake Village.
From now on, I have to rely on myself for everything."
Zhuo Yu looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers as he walked, thinking about his plans after entering the city.
Previously, many young people in the village who were unwilling to live in Snake Village came to the city.
Many of them were never heard from at all, and some were outside.
Started a small business and lived a happy life.
Zhuo Yu didn't know much about things in the city and had to explore on his own.
However, he had heard from some old people in the village that when people from the countryside usually go to the city, they usually find a manual job first, so that they can Let yourself have a place to live, and have food to eat, without spending money in your pocket, and at the same time, you can be familiar with the outside environment.
He also had this plan.
He would first find a job and spend a month or two learning about the outside world before making any plans.
His ultimate goal was to enter the Dong family.
After the carriage drove forward for an hour, it suddenly stopped.
Zhuo Yu felt strange because he had just rested for a short time, so he didn't ask any questions.
He sat under a tree on the side of the road, leaned against the tree, and took out some fruits to eat.
Then, they stopped on the road, and there were dense forests on both sides of the road, so this road was also the most dangerous road, because wild beasts would jump out of it at any time.
The group of big men following the caravan also sat down to rest.
One of them caught a glimpse of the long sword wrapped in linen in Zhuo Yu's hand and said immediately.
"Little brother, was the sword in your hand made by the black blacksmith of Snake Village?"
The person who spoke was a strong man with a square face and big ears, with a tone of surprise in his tone.
When the other big men heard this, they looked at Zhuo Yu, and sure enough they found that half of the linen cloth was exposed, and the hilt of the sword could be seen.
Zhuo Yu smiled and said: "Yes, it was made by the black blacksmith.
It is just a low-quality product."
The weapons made by the black blacksmith are treasures in the eyes of these traveling merchants, because when they come to buy the skins and bones of some wild beasts, they can see from the cuts that those sharp weapons are extraordinary, but it is a pity that they cannot buy the weapons of the black blacksmith. .
"Inferior products are always much better than our scrap copper and iron.
Little brother, you don't know that the sword is a weapon that symbolizes noble status, so people without a certain status will not wear a sword.
If you show the sword, "The officials in the city will definitely check your identity to see if you are qualified to wear a sword.
If you are not qualified, they will definitely arrest you and say that your sword was stolen," said the square-faced man. .
Zhuo Yu saw that all these big men were wearing swords.

Of course he knew not to wear swords casually, otherwise he wouldn't have wrapped them in linen.
Since the black blacksmith gave him a sword, it must have the meaning of the black blacksmith.
Zhuo Yu didn't say much at the time.
In fact, the square-faced man said it too seriously.
If it were some inferior sword, there would be no problem in using it to show off.
He just wanted to scare Zhuo Yu and buy the sword from Zhuo Yu.
Although Zhuo Yu grew up in the mountains, he was not an idiot.
He could vaguely see the meaning of the square-faced man.
He said, "My sword is a broken sword, so it should be okay."
After saying that, Zhuo Yu pulled out the long sword, only to see that the tip of the sword was missing, and there were many small gaps on the blade.
The inferior quality Zhuo Yu just mentioned was not fabricated, it was indeed a very inferior broken sword.
In fact, the black blacksmith gave him this sword on purpose.
Although there was no tip and there were gaps on the blade, it was very tough.
Zhuo Yu didn't understand why the black blacksmith gave him such a broken sword.
If you don't want to be so high-profile, you can give him a knife.
Giving him such a broken sword is useless except for parrying it twice.
But what he didn't know was that this sword was carefully crafted for him by a blacksmith, and the materials were all of the highest quality.
What's important is not the sword, but the sword's will.
This is what Black Blacksmith wants Zhuo Yu to master.
At this time, a pair of carriages stared at the sword in Zhuo Yu's hand and closed their eyes slightly, then snorted coldly: "Fortunately it's not a complete sword, otherwise you kid might have died early."
"Oh Mr.
Gao, are you really going to kill someone for a piece of iron?"
A lazy voice came from a carriage nearby.
This was the merchant of the caravan.
He doesn't show up very often.
Unless it's some very big deals, he leaves them to those big men to handle.
"Huh, it's just a cheap life.
Killing him is like trampling on an ant."
Mr.
Gao said coldly, with great disdain.
They also know that the weapons made by the black blacksmith are very good, but they also estimate the black blacksmith's strength, and they have important matters at hand, so they don't go to the black blacksmith for weapons in order to cause trouble.
How could a high-ranking warrior think so highly of a poor mountain man?
He was definitely not an ordinary low-level warrior.
Such a small caravan had a powerful warrior.
There must be some shady activities involved.
Those big men lost interest when they saw the broken sword in Zhuo Yu's hand and stopped talking to Zhuo Yu.
"Mr.
Gao, why do you want this kid to follow us?
Will he hinder our important events?"
the businessman asked.
"You don't understand.
With such a country boy following us into the city, others will think that we are a small caravan.
This is also a cover-up.
You must know that some large bandit groups disdain to attack small caravans."
Mr.

Gao said .
Only those small caravans would save that little money and let people from remote mountain villages follow them.
"I understand, if he gets in our way, we will kill him," the businessman said viciously.
Zhuo Yu in the distance naturally wouldn't hear these words.
He was just looking around.
In fact, he was alert to those around him.
Suddenly, Zhuo Yu heard the sound of galloping horses.
It was only very faint, but Zhuo Yu could still hear it.
As a hunter, keen hearing is a must.
Sure enough, a horse neighed in the distance, and the businessman in the carriage immediately became nervous, and the warrior obviously knew that someone was coming this way.
This is a brown horse, with a man wearing black clothes and a black mask sitting on the horse's back.
This man is very thin, and Zhuo Yu can't see the man's face, so he can't tell the difference at all.
Find out the gender of the man in black.
The brown horse stopped next to the warrior's carriage, and then a cold voice came: "Gao Zhiming, interface letter" This turned out to be a woman, which made Zhuo Yu and the big men feel incredible.
There is only one explanation for a woman wearing such a costume and running alone in the suburbs.
This woman is also a warrior, and her strength is not weak.
At this time, a young man in his mid-twenties stepped out of the carriage.
This young man was Gao Zhiming, also the warrior.
He was not tall and was wearing a light green luxurious gown.
He had a fair and handsome face.
His face was tense and his eyes were very arrogant.
He didn't raise his head to look at the person on the horse or speak.
He just stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Are all of us here?"
the woman asked coldly.
Gao Zhiming didn't answer, but glanced at Zhuo Yu coldly.
Upon hearing these words, Zhuo Yu noticed something was wrong, and the woman on the brown horse also rushed towards them on horseback.
Zhuo Yu could see at a glance the murderous yet indifferent eyes under the black hood.
Feeling that there was a crisis, Zhuo Yu, who was sitting on the roadside, turned around and rushed into the forest and started running.
Now he didn't care about the wild beasts.
It was important to escape.
This sudden change made him unexpected.
Not long after he entered the forest , I heard several screams and the sound of trees falling.
"Hmph, you didn't kill that kid, but you killed my people."
Gao Zhiming's face became a little ugly.
The woman wiped the blood on the sword in her hand with a piece of black cloth, and there was a blood mark on the throats of the big men.
The blood kept coming out.
It was obvious that the woman deliberately wanted to kill these big men.
"First tell me the content of the letter, and then give me the boy's head, otherwise you will accompany five of me," Gao Zhiming said lightly.
It can be seen from their actions that they are very cautious.
Even if they pass oral messages, they do not allow other living people to eavesdrop nearby.
Besides, the grooms on the carriage are all their own people and some warriors.
"The two thousand-year-old warm jade carried in the car does not need to be transported back to the Dong family.
You can give it directly to Prince Da'an.
After all, the strength of the Da'an Dynasty is already stronger than our Dong family, and we have always been a thorn in Prince Da'an's heart.

So it’s up to you to do this.
You and Prince Da’an know each other best.
Remember, the news about Nuanyu must not be leaked, otherwise our Dong family will be in trouble. " After the woman in black finished speaking, she turned into a black shadow and ran into the forest with a whooshing sound:
