C159

"Aren't you afraid that they will speak of this?" Qing Yangming who was walking on the road looked at the relaxed and confident back figure in front of him and asked softly.

"A smart person naturally knows what to say. Moreover, we are merchants now. Is there still anything wrong with asking about the bandits?" Qingyang, who already had a plan in mind, naturally did not fear the boss from revealing what had happened today. Without even turning his head, he gave a light reply.

Indeed, the man who set up the stall naturally knew what to say. Qingyang was currently a businessman. He was worried about the bandits' plunder, so it would not be excessive to inquire about it.

"Let's go back to the restaurant. Fatty Fang and the others are probably still waiting for us." With this soft voice, the two men from Qingyang Sect also hurried to walk towards the restaurant.

As the sky gradually darkened, there were more people on the street. It was likely that Qingyang was one of the few people that had come to various restaurants to talk and drink. Thus, the two of them did not attract much attention.

As he stepped into the restaurant, Fatty Fang and the others were still seated around the table, smiling and chatting. The dishes on the table had not been touched either, probably because they were left behind for him as well.

"Look, didn't I say that the Taiyi brothers will be back soon?" With a turn of his head, he saw the two Azure Sun Sect disciples enter. Fang Cheng smiled as he spoke to the others.

"Hur hur, sorry to trouble you all to wait." After cupping his hands in apology, Qingyang sat down.

"Sigh, could the Taiyi brothers go out and find out what happened?" a person beside Fang Cheng asked in a low voice.

"There isn't much useful information. I asked a few people, but it is true that there are bandits near the Black Tortoise Pass." Qingyang shook his head and chuckled.

"Just now, we also heard people from the next table talking about this. I heard that every South Rongcheng Guest Warrior that was robbed was killed. Could it be that those bandits from the Beitang Empire fled here?" The man frowned and thought for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"I heard that none of the caravans passed by within a month was spared, and even the officials were ultimately defeated." Looking at the few tables at the side, the other person opened his mouth and said, "Look, everyone is travelling together. The few caravans combined are a little stronger."

"Our caravan has over a hundred guards. Could it be that we're afraid of a few thieves?" Fang Cheng unintentionally glanced at Qing Yangming, who was silent at the side, and said with a smile.

This action of Fang Cheng was naturally seen by Qingyang. He snickered. So Fatty Fang must have guessed that Qingyang Ming was a Xiantian expert with the protection of a Xiantian expert. Could it be that he was afraid of bandits? What's more, those guards weren't ordinary people.

Qingyang didn't mention anything that broke Fang Cheng's heart. Instead, he drank wine and chatted with the others until it was late into the night before each of them returned to their respective inns to rest.

"Tomorrow, be careful on the road. There might be a lot of interesting things happening." Before parting ways at the inn, Qingyang smiled as he gave his instructions before returning to his room to meditate and begin cultivating.

The next morning, the caravan gathered at the entrance of the city. After Fang Cheng finished counting the number of people, he rode his horse to the front of the caravan and shouted, "Let's go!"

Everyone on the street naturally avoided it, as they were afraid that their horses would trample on them. Looking at the group of carriages, everyone had different expressions, some of them were worried, some were taking pleasure in others' misfortune, and some had nothing to do with themselves. However, no one noticed that a black figure in the corner not far away revealed a hint of ridicule and then quickly disappeared.

"I believe everyone has heard about the bandits near the Black Tortoise Pass. From today onwards, we will have to sleep out in the open for the night. Therefore, everyone should be careful. If you lose money, you will lose your head!" Not long ago, Fang Cheng looked at the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road. Then, he shouted out with some worry on his face.

A faint sound rang out from within the carriage, but Fang Cheng paid it no heed. He turned his horse around and walked to the side of the carriage that Qingyang was riding.

"Brother Fang, is there anything you want to tell me?" Before Fang Cheng could open his mouth to speak, Azure Sun's laughter suddenly rang out from within the carriage.

"Hehe, Brother Tai Yi, regardless of whether this mountain bandit is real or fake, if we meet him later, it would be best for you to get closer to us, so that we can look out for him." After hesitating for a moment, Fang Cheng awkwardly suggested.

"Naturally. I was counting on Brother Fang's bodyguards to take care of him, haha." Qingyang understood that this Fang Cheng must have wanted to tie him up. At the very least, he had an Upper Sky warrior by his side, and a Pre-Sky Realm warrior was not something that a Pre-Sky Realm warrior could compare to.

"Haha, then let's make a deal. I'll head to the front first. Brother Tai Yi, you should rest for now." He was overjoyed. Since Qingyang had agreed to his request, Fang Cheng naturally went to the front of the caravan to lead the caravan.

Within the carriage, Qingyang also couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't hate this fatty who had a little scheme in mind, much less Dongfang Bo's friend. If he could help, he could help.

"Ming, if there really is a bandit on the road, you can protect Fang Cheng and the rest." Qing Yang instructed as he turned his head to glance at Qing Yangming.

"En!" Qing Yangming sighed softly. He naturally understood Qingyang's intentions, and his' master 'was much stronger than him. He did not need his protection.

This meant that there would definitely be a night where the caravan would sleep in the forest. The Azure Sun secretly thought that this was probably the best time for the robbers to take action, because at night, the caravan's defenses were the weakest, and their line of sight was unknown, so it was very easy to ambush them.

However, what Qingyang could not understand was that according to the meaning of the official, the bandits' lair was quite a distance away from the mountain path. However, what Qingyang could not understand was that according to the meaning of the official, the bandits' lair was quite a distance away from the mountain path. There was something military about it.

After a day of travelling, there was nothing abnormal. Qingyang had also released his Spiritual Sense throughout the journey but he had not detected anyone lurking within the dense forest, observing the passersby and horses on the mountain path.

"Today, we will spend the night on the grasses to the side. We will surround a few carriages and everyone will rest in a circle. Half of the guards will stay on guard while the rest will rest for the night." Lifting his head and looking at the setting sun, Fang Cheng decisively stopped the caravan's advance and turned around as he instructed loudly.

They started a bonfire and prepared to eat and rest. Half of the guards also consciously spread out and each held a weapon in their hands as they stared at the dense forest, as if there was some kind of fierce beast within it.

"Brother Taiyi, your carriage is with us." Just as Qingyang was about to get off the carriage, Fang Cheng suddenly rode up to his car and said with a smile.

"Sure." Qingyang nodded, then turned his head and ordered, "Ming, hurry over to Brother Fang's side with the carriage. I'll be there shortly."

Qing Yang replied and left. Qingyang moved his body and spread out his Spiritual Sense, instantly covering half of the mountain. There was not the slightest movement in the rustling jungle, not even the aura of a wild hare or wild boar could be detected.

"Hmm? This is a little strange, even the wild game has disappeared from this wilderness? " Looking at this strangely peaceful forest, Qingyang thought to himself: "Could it be that the remnants of the South Rongjun Dragon's body have been moved?"
