    The large caravan of dozens of people was majestic, winding its way through the deep mountains and dense forests, forming a long and curved team.  It was already the tenth day after entering the mountains, and the caravan had already entered the deepest part of the Sunset Mountains.  The time they chose to enter the mountain was during the rainy season in autumn, so it was sunny and cloudless for the past few days.  Because it didn¡¯t rain, the mountain road was not difficult to travel.  "After turning the mountain in front, you will reach Guichou Gorge. Next, you will have to walk on a narrow plank road for more than ten miles. However, it has not rained in the past few days and the plank road is not slippery. It is estimated that there will be no problem, but still  Be careful, because there are rapids on the other side of the gorge, and even if a warrior of the Houtian realm falls, he will be seriously injured if he does not die." The person in charge of the caravan introduced to Lu Shaoyu.  After getting along with each other these days, Lu Shaoyu knew that the name of the caravan leader was Wan Fubao, and everyone called him Uncle Bao.  The caravan he belongs to is owned by the Wan family in Tianshui City, Anzhou Prefecture.  Tianshui City is not far from Huayuan City where Fang Yi is located. It is an adjacent city-state, so it is not very far from the Sunset Mountains.  The Wan Family of Tianshui City is a middle-class family. Its heritage is naturally incomparable with that of the behemoth Tang Family. However, it is still considered a powerful family in Tianshui City. There are five or six Xiantian realm warriors in the family, and their strength can be considered as high.  Slightly stronger.  This caravan is owned by the Wan family and often trades with Cangzhou. It mainly transports Anzhou's exquisite ceramics, handicrafts, daily necessities, ironware, farm tools, cloth, salt and other items to Cangzhou for sale, and then sells Cangzhou's medicinal materials, animals, etc.  Skins, musk and other raw materials were transported back to Anzhou for trade.  Although such a trip took nearly three months, the profit was quite substantial.  There is often a net profit income of nearly two to three hundred thousand taels of silver in one trip.  If you can go back and forth two or three times a year, the income will be quite good.  Taking this trade route is one of the important sources of income for Wanjia.  Wan Fubao has been promoted from an accompanying merchant to the person in charge of the caravan. He has served in the caravan for more than thirty years. He has walked this mountain road more than a hundred times, so he is very familiar with the conditions in the mountains.  Under his leadership, the caravan has been safe and sound.  After walking for a while, the vanguard of the caravan had already bypassed the mountain ridge in front. Soon, Lu Shaoyu and others also arrived at the foot of the mountain ridge.  Suddenly, I heard the sound of rushing water coming from ahead.  Lu Shaoyu sat on the mule horse and looked forward. He saw that the terrain behind the ridge suddenly cracked, and the ridges were separated. A deep gorge with a width of dozens of feet appeared in the middle. The sound of rapid water came from the bottom of this deep gorge.  Come.  At this time, the caravan vanguard had already followed the path between the mountain peaks and the deep gorge, and followed the flowing water downwards.  The terrain here is steep, with cliffs on one side.  On one side is fast flowing water.  If it falls accidentally, ordinary people will definitely lose their bodies.  Between the mountain and the gorge, there is only a small plank road that can only accommodate one person and one horse passing side by side.  Wan Fubao ran to the front of the caravan and kept telling the guards and merchants to be careful.  Now, the mules and horses were arranged together, connected with ropes, their eyes were tied, their ears were sealed, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls.  The terrain here is steep, and the rapids below the cliff are turbulent. The mules and horses must not be allowed to hear the sound of the rapids and see the surrounding terrain, lest they be frightened, stumble and fall into the canyon.  ¡° Moreover, if a mules or horses lose their way and fall into a deep gorge, they will definitely scream in surprise.  These screams are likely to frighten the herd of mules, triggering a chain reaction that causes more mules and horses to panic and collapse.  Therefore, in order to prevent these things from happening, the mules and horses must be blindfolded, ears and mouths plugged, so that they can be connected together in batches, and then be pulled forward by people.  The people in the caravan are all people who often travel this business road. They are all veterans and are extremely skilled in everything. They have already begun to deal with various things in an orderly manner without Wan Fubao's instructions.  The mules and horses had their eyes and ears blinded, their mouths gagged, and then they were strung together by long ropes, like grasshoppers strung on the same straw. They were divided into groups of ten, each pulled by one person.  He moved forward, with another person supporting him.  The people from the caravan went first, and Lu Shaoyu and other individual traders fell behind.  Lu Shaoyu didn't have anything heavy on him, so there was no trouble. He and Fang Yi walked side by side on this narrow plank road.  Because the road is narrow, you have to be careful when walking, and the team walks extremely slowly.  According to what Wan Fubao said, this narrow plank road is more than ten miles long and cannot be crossed in one day.  However, there is a piece of flat land in the middle of the plank road, which can accommodate the caravan to rest for a night.  The rapids under the canyon are turbulent and the sound of the water is rumbling, which makes people feel frightened.  The team moved forward slowly. Although there were dozens of people and more than 300 mules and horses in the caravan,For a while, there was no sound. The horse did not neigh and no one spoke. They were cautious, lest they jump and fall into the rapids below.  It was evening after walking all day without incident.  Fang Yi walked beside Lu Shaoyu, his eyes never idle. He looked at the rapids below and then at the steep and difficult-to-climb cliff. He was speechless and suddenly said softly to Lu Shaoyu: "Shaoyu, look, there is a cliff on one side here."  There is a deep stream on one side. If someone wants to harm the caravan and rolls stones on the top of the cliff, I am afraid that no one in the caravan will be able to survive. " Lu Shaoyu glanced at the surrounding environment and nodded, this is indeed a place.  It is located in a dangerous terrain. If there is a war, it will definitely be a battleground for military strategists.  Pointing at the cliff, he said: "If you want to roll the stone, the opponent has to climb up the cliff. But the cliff is steep, how easy is it to climb up? Unless you are a warrior in the Xiantian realm, otherwise, even if you are in the acquired realm,  "Haha, it's not necessarily true. Look, the cliff over there is not that steep. If you want to go up, ordinary Houtian warriors can do it as long as they put in some effort." Fang Yi.  Reach out and point forward.  Lu Shaoyu looked forward, and sure enough he saw a flat land that sunk into the cliff. It was estimated to be half a mile in radius, enough to accommodate everyone in the caravan and the mules and horses.  The merchants in front had already entered the plains and stopped. Some set up some fences around the mules and horses, some unloaded the goods from the horses, and some started to build tents.  ??Everyone divides labor and cooperates and gets busy.  ??This is probably the resting place Wan Fubao mentioned.  Lu Shaoyu looked towards the cliff on the edge of the plain. Sure enough, he saw that the slope of the cliff was much gentler than other places. It was not as steep as the previous cliffs. It would not be difficult for a warrior with a little strength to climb up.  Just like what Fang Yi said, if a strange force were ambushed here and they wanted to attack the caravan, it would be easy.  Lu Shaoyu smiled and said: "Haha, this caravan often takes this trade route, and it has always been fine. There should be no surprise attacks. You" Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.  On the top of the cliff near the flat ground, more than ten figures suddenly appeared.  With the appearance of these figures, huge boulders as tall as a person were pushed out by these people, rolling down from the top of the cliff with a rumbling sound  .  (Please recommend and support support, thank you. =^__^=)
