The first day was fairly calm, there was no trouble, and no accidents happened.
It's just that the good times don't last long.
When the Dragon God Empress arrived with the leader of the caravan, Yang Yi stood on a huge rock and stared at the distant valley intently.
"Leader, we put the ugly words first." Yang Yi was talking about the lingua franca of the Silicon Magic Alliance, which is also the lingua franca in this world, but Yang Yi's accent is very obvious. "Although we promised to escort the caravan to the imperial capital, I also mentioned that I hope you can openly and honestly tell us the possible dangers so that we can be prepared, because we don't want to sacrifice our lives for this business. Before, I always trusted you and believed that you told me everything you knew. It’s just that I found myself wrong now. There are a lot of dangers in the valley in front, and you obviously know it, but you didn’t tell me, so the rest Ruth is up to you, I..."
"No, don't leave us."
Yang Yi smiled coldly, nodded towards the Queen of Dragon God, turned and walked towards the rear.
"I'm telling you, I'll tell you everything I know." The team leader was obviously panicked. "Whatever it is, as long as it can help you..."
"It's to help you."
"Yes, yes, it is to help us. As long as it helps, I will tell you everything."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, then stopped and turned to look at the team leader.
In fact, when the team leader asked Yang Yi and the Dragon God Queen to follow them to the imperial capital, Yang Yi guessed that there must be danger ahead, otherwise the team leader would not give out one-fifth of the bonus to hire two bodyguards. It's just that Yang Yi didn't point to wear this. It wasn't until he discovered the original energy fluctuations in the valley that Yang Yi contacted the Dragon God Empress and brought the team leader over, and there was the beginning of the scene.
"Why are you still stunned, let's talk." The Dragon God Empress pushed the leader. If it weren't for Yang Yi to stand by, she might slap the team leader.
"Actually... Actually I don't know what is hidden in the valley."
"You do not know?"
"I swear, I really don't know, I only know that the caravan will not reach the imperial capital smoothly because the things we transport are so important."
"You are not honest yet, do you feel that your life is big enough to be able to pass through that valley alive?"
"No, of course not." The team leader seemed aggrieved and hesitant, as if he was weighing the risk of telling the secret or entering the valley alone.
"If you don't want to say something, I don't make it difficult for you." Yang Yi pressed her hand to the Dragon God Queen and said, "It's just that you have to rely on you for the rest of the road. Of course, we have known each other, so I I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t have a strong enough bodyguard, don’t enter that valley, otherwise you don’t even know how you died. As for whether you can or when will you find a strong bodyguard, it’s nothing to do with me. NS."
"Wait, please."
Yang Yi ignored the leader, and the Queen of Dragon God also shook her head with a wry smile.
"We are transporting the personal belongings of Emperor Otterga."
When the team leader said so, Yang Yi and the Queen of Dragon God stopped.
"Accurately speaking, it is a tribute to Emperor Otterga." The leader exhaled, and it seemed that after speaking out, he felt a lot easier. "We must arrive in the imperial capital on time and offer the tribute, otherwise all the residents of Shuoyang City will be punished or even executed. This is not for ourselves, but for the millions of residents of Shuoyang City, so even if we know There is great danger ahead, and we cannot stop."
"So, what does it have to do with us?" The Dragon God Empress asked faintly.
"If you can escort us to the imperial capital smoothly, you will be the benefactors of all six-legged spiders in Shuoyang City and our savior. From now on, as long as you arrive in Shuoyang City, you will be treated and treated, and no matter how much trouble you encounter, we will all Provide help without turning back."
The Dragon God Empress sneered. She was obviously not interested in it.
"Since it's so important, why didn't you send someone to escort him?" Yang Yi turned around and asked the leader.
"Actually, we have no other way." The team leader sighed and said, "This time, the tributes requested by Otterga are not only more than before, but also rarer. Just collecting these tributes cost the equivalent of the previous two. Times of time. When we prepare the tribute, there is not much time left. If we spend time recruiting personnel to escort the caravan, we will definitely not be able to reach the imperial capital in time."
"Could it be that you didn't prepare in advance?"
"We prepared as usual, but it was far from enough."
Yang Yi frowned and looked at the team leader without understanding.
"The key is that it is too difficult to obtain these tributes, and we have lost a lot of people, including the bodyguards who were supposed to escort the caravan."
"Do you have only one caravan in Shuoyang City?"
"Of course not, but we are the only one who can leave in time." The team leader gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, I am the only one who is willing to escort the tribute to the imperial capital, because I am the eldest son of the Shuoyang city manager, and all my relatives are There. If we fail to deliver the tribute to the imperial capital in time, not only will my father be executed, all my relatives, including myself, will be demoted to slaves."
The Empress of the Dragon God was taken aback for a moment, showing a bitter expression.
"Because there is no time to recruit bodyguards and no time to contact other caravans, we can only take the risk and decide to pretend to be an ordinary caravan, hoping to deceive the enemies along the way. At least before this, our method has worked very well. Less effect."
"It's a pity that luck will eventually run out of one day."
The team leader sighed and said: "In fact, we have long thought that good luck will not always accompany us, so after meeting you, I took the initiative to mention it and hired you to escort us to the imperial capital. Anyway, you all A hunter with a super body."
"Superbody?"
"You all have superpowers, stronger than us, and able to help us cope with the dangers we encounter along the way."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "Unfortunately, we are not omnipotent, and you should tell us this earlier."
"Before this, we cannot be sure of your identities, at least we cannot fully believe that you are not robbers for those tributes, so..."
"It's just that it's not too late to tell us." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Since it is related to the lives and deaths of millions of Shuoyang City residents, and the conditions you offered are really attractive, I decided to continue escorting. You go to the imperial capital. Of course, there is a prerequisite."
"What?" The team leader seemed to see hope and asked immediately.
"Next, no matter what you encounter, no matter what happens, you, including you, must act according to our instructions. You must not act arbitrarily. If you mess around, then any loss you suffer has nothing to do with us, and neither do I Will bear any responsibility for this."
"This… "
"Of course, it's just a matter of safety."
The leader nodded and said: "No problem, I will listen to your instructions, and I will tell my men to absolutely obey your orders."
"When is the deadline for the delivery of the tribute?"
"Two days later."
Yang Yi frowned and said, "There is still a day's journey to reach the imperial capital, so we will be delayed by at most one day on the road."
"Only half a day." The leader paused for a while before saying, "In the early morning two days later, we must deliver the tribute to the outside of the palace and hand it to the personnel sent by the Emperor Otaga. According to the situation in previous years, if we are late , Even if it’s only a short while late, that guy won’t accept it.”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what the leader meant.
"How sure are you?" The team leader is obviously worried about Yang Yi's strength. "If you feel that the danger in the valley ahead is too serious and you are not confident enough to pass, we still have time to change our course. Even if it will be very nervous, it is better than...
"Diversion?"
"It takes about one day to get around that valley. If we reduce the number of rests, we might save half a day on the road."
"The premise is that there will be no other troubles."
The leader sighed and said nothing.
"Besides, do you believe us?" Yang Yi glanced at the team leader and said, "If you believe us, then do as I say. Of course, if you think I can't be trusted at all, then do as you want. , But I can’t guarantee that I can reach the imperial capital in time.”
"But… "
"Let’s put it this way, the enemies ambush in the valley ahead are very powerful and hidden. If we didn’t go out to explore the way, we would not be able to find out in time. Don’t you think those enemies came prepared? Otherwise, why hide Get up? If so, then they will ignore the possibility of you bypassing the valley? If I am not wrong, there is also danger on the road to bypass the valley, and it is a greater danger. Even if it is only a small group of enemies, as long as it can be dragged Stay in the caravan and buy some time, and the caravan will also be overtaken by the enemies in the valley. In addition, you must deliver the tribute to the imperial capital in time. As long as it is delayed for a long time, how can you avoid the enemy?"
The leader sighed and said, "The question is, if we enter the valley, don't we also die?"
The Empress of the Dragon God was taken aback for a moment, she was about to say something, but was stopped by Yang Yi.
"Danger does exist, but there is no choice. At least, those guys don't know the existence of the two of us, maybe they can kill them by surprise. As long as we can achieve unexpected results, we can escort the caravan out of the valley. At that time, we will stay. After the break, block the enemy and buy you some time. No matter what, this is the only way for the caravan to reach the imperial capital in time."
"This… "
"Since we can find those enemies, we are confident enough." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's not too early, let's go back quickly."
The team leader's emotions are very complicated, but he didn't say much, because he can only pin his hopes on Yang Yi.
