On the other side.
Jiang Yuan and others have already driven the escort carriage out of Lin'an County.
Just as they left the city gate.
Old Ma's expression unconsciously became somewhat tense.
He always felt that there were killers lurking in the distance, ready to face death at any time.
Old Ma swallowed, "Young master, are you really confident that you can withstand the big boss of the Black Wind Stockade?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Old Ma speechlessly.
He had been asked this question countless times, and he was too lazy to answer.
At this time, Gu Mo opened his eyes.
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, not to mention the young master, with me here, the big boss of the Black Wind Stockade won't be able to cause much trouble."
As he spoke, he exuded full confidence.
The banners beside him were making a rustling sound in the strong wind.
There was a big character "Jiang" carved on it, fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Yuan looked at the mountains in the distance.
Ning Buqi, you better not dare to come!
I just want to test my strength on you, to see exactly how strong I am now.
Black Wind Stockade.
Ning Buqi sat on the White Tiger Chair.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Jiang Yuan has left the city?"
The little brother who had hurried over from below nodded furiously: "Yes, boss, you heard right! Jiang Yuan just left the city, and he made a great noise, he is now escorting goods."
"Escorting goods?" He pondered, "Could it be the item that Jiang Zhenyuan was transporting before? Is it still in his hands now?"
He hesitated slightly, then shook his head, "Forget it, this thing is useless to me! But now, I can finally avenge my second brother!"
"Second Brother, I can finally use Jiang Yuan's life to appease your spirit in heaven!"
"You can rest assured that this time, I will make him unable to live, unable to die!"
As he spoke, he walked straight out of the hall.
"Li Er!"
"I'm here!"
"Immediately summon all the brothers to gather in the stockade, I want them to go with me to avenge my deceased second brother!"
"Yes!"
The man said excitedly.
He then rushed out violently.
In a moment, the stockade was filled with the sound of clamor.
They were holding their weapons, with fierce faces, quickly gathering in the stockade.
At the same time.
Ning Buqi stood on the platform of the stockade.
Looking at the murderous brothers below, a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.
But thinking of the absence of his second brother, a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Without his second brother, there was no one to share the joy and happiness of the present, no one to drink with, and half of the joy of life was instantly lost.
It's hateful!
It's hateful!
Thinking of his second brother Lei Zhan, his killing intent toward Jiang Yuan became even stronger.
He wished he could catch him immediately, skin him alive, and vent his hatred.
After a while, he calmed his mind.
He said to the people below, "Quiet down!"
With his words, the chaos below quickly became quiet, and in an instant, it was as quiet as a chicken.
Seeing this, Ning Buqi nodded satisfactorily, and continued, "Just now, I received a piece of news, Jiang Yuan of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency has left the city, do you want to avenge the second boss?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Avenge!"
"Avenge!"
"Avenge!"
Seeing the excited expressions of the brothers below, Ning Buqi nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said, "If you want to, then come with me to take revenge for my second brother."
Subsequently, his face was grim, killing intent soaring: "I want Jiang Yuan to beg for life and not get it, and beg for death but cannot die!"
A roar came from below.
"Seek life but not get it, seek death but not die!"
The noise was deafening! And on the other side.
Jiang Yuan didn't know about the happenings at the Black Wind Stockade.
He was now sitting in the escort carriage, conserving his energy, adjusting himself to be in the best condition.
He knew it wouldn't be long before the chief of the Black Wind Stockade would appear in front of him.
At that time, a fierce battle might ensue.
With the ninth stage of body forging, the limit of mortals.
Before really fighting against him, Jiang Yuan didn't dare to say he was absolutely sure.
At most, he could only say he was ninety-eight percent sure!
This confidence came from the guard of Wang Yue.
A month ago, he was able to suppress that guard at the ninth stage of body forging with just martial arts intent.
Now, compared to a month ago, he had grown stronger by several chips.
Especially in spirit, he felt that he had improved by more than twice.
But even so, he still didn't feel that his spirit had reached a state of fullness.
It seemed that as his body became stronger, the upper limit of his spirit also kept rising.
At this moment.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes: "He's coming!"
"Who? Who's coming?" Old Ma asked.
At this time, Gu Mo also said: "The chief of the Black Wind Stockade."
Jiang Yuan raised his hand: "Stop!"
The sound was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this, they immediately gave the order to the horses to stop in place.
Old Ma said: "Everyone, be on guard, the people from the Black Wind Stockade might be coming."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young escorts were immediately filled with tension.
Their eyes were restlessly scanning the trees on the slopes on both sides.
Even though they knew before they set out that the people from the Black Wind Stockade would come sooner or later.
But when the moment came, the fear in their hearts was still hard to suppress.
Jiang Yuan raised his hand and said: "Don't panic! I'm here!"
As his words fell, a gentle force swept over the surroundings.
The fear in everyone's hearts was immediately half gone, and then they looked at Jiang Yuan, their eyes became resolute.
Yes! The young master is here!
Since the young master dared to leave the city to escort the cargo, he must have something to rely on.
Over the past few months, they had watched the young master rise from obscurity to fame throughout Lin'an County.
Now, in Lin'an County, Jiang Yuan's name was known to everyone.
In the past.
When people in Lin'an County mentioned Jiang Yuan, they would add a label in front of him, the son of Jiang Zhenyuan, the Wind and Thunder Sword.
Now, Jiang Yuan was just Jiang Yuan, his fame had far surpassed the title of the Wind and Thunder Sword.
The reason they dared to follow the young master out to escort the cargo was also that they were full of confidence in the young master.
This prodigy was destined to become a figure in the annals of Lin'an County, he wouldn't fall easily.
And since the young master dared to openly leave the city, facing the chief of the Black Wind Stockade who had reached the ninth stage of body forging, he naturally had his own reliance.
At this moment.
A loud laughter suddenly came from the forest.
"Hahaha--"
"Jiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to dare to come out of the city to die!"
"This is the grave I chose for you, are you satisfied!"
As he spoke, a group of fierce-looking mountain bandits had already come charging down from the slope filled with towering ancient trees.
Their words were interspersed with the slogan "Take revenge for the second boss!".
They quickly surrounded Jiang Yuan and the others by the side of a rapid river.
This place was a wide canyon, with sloping sides covered with verdant ancient trees that reached into the sky.
And beside them, was the rapid river in the canyon.
There were strange rocks in the river, splitting the water into two halves from time to time.
