Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 22: Robbery
In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, a man-made trail stretches all the way to the distance.
A convoy was traveling through the forest, with a total of seven large vehicles, each carrying four large boxes. About twenty people were guarding the seven large vehicles.
There is a large flag on each of the two cars at the front and rear. One side has the word "Wei" written on it, and the other side has the word "Gu" written on it, which means that this is a convoy belonging to the Gu and Wei families.
The four people at the front were riding horses and leading the way slowly, two of them were Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing.
After returning from the academy, Wei and Wu began to take charge of the family business. Since this business road was newly opened, in addition to opening up connections between local governments and factions, the most important thing was to prevent bandits and monsters from all walks of life. As a result, Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing were entrusted with important tasks.
Precisely because the people of the Wei family worked so hard to open up this trade route, this trade route itself is quite valuable. If it hadn't been for Wei Tian's conflict with the engagement, the Wei family would not have just given it up to the Gu family.
Sitting on the horse at this moment, Wu Xing pointed to the distance and said: "Through this forest, ahead is Baizhan Ridge. After passing Baizhan Ridge, it will be Li Country. By then, the status of the sect will no longer be meaningful, and everyone will You have to rely on your fists to get on."
A young man next to him said: "I thought that after passing Hanmen Pass, we would have to go down with our fists."
Everyone laughed at the same time.
This young man's name is Gu Chang'an. He is a direct descendant of the Gu family. He is known to be scheming. He is also considered a shrewd person among the younger generations and is highly valued by the family head. This cooperation between the Gu family and the Wei family is of great significance, so this person was sent to be responsible for contacting the Wei family.
Another middle-aged man next to him said: "This dense forest is rugged and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, you were able to find a shortcut here. You must have spent a lot of effort, right?"
This is Zhu Kaishan, the owner of the **** bureau opened by the Gu family. He has rich experience in escorting, is smooth in dealing with things, and mainly handles affairs along the way.
"Yes." Wu Xing replied: "There are too many checkpoints in Shangsuwon. If we walk as Xiyue students, it will be fine at all. But if we go there with bulk goods like this, we are bound to suffer a lot. Exploitation. In order to save some expenses, we had to find another way and open a forest as a road here. For this road, the eldest young master and I have been busy for more than a hundred days."
"It's hard work." Gu Changan nodded and said, "A dignified cultivator, even if he is not a spiritual master, his status is extremely noble, but he came to this remote place to clear forests and pave roads. It is really wronged. But I heard that in On this business road, is it the second young master that the Wei family praises more?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing's faces changed color at the same time.
Wu Xing said nonchalantly: "It's no wonder, he was the one who got the idea in the first place. When they went to participate in the Immortal Fate Meeting, they passed by the secret market of Wangchuan Town and found that there was a lot to do. After returning, the second young master asked his wife for help. To open a trade route leading there, and to establish friendship with the Ayi people there... The second young master, he has also done a lot of things."
"But most of them are just lip service, right?" Gu Changan said with a smile: "The world is always so unfair. Then those who have done nothing or very little can stand high and enjoy everything. Then Those who really pay for it are always unknown in the world."
Wei Tianzhi snorted: "We are all working for the family, so there are so many differences between you and me. Furthermore, if you really think about it, Wei will be the one to inherit the Wei family in the future. My younger brother has a promising future. He still has to develop along the way. He is destined to become the guardian of the Wei family, and will not compete with me for the family property. Speaking of it, it will only be my debt to the second brother. In this case, it is good for the younger brother to gain some fame and benefits now. Why not?"
When Gu Changan heard this, he smiled and said: "I am ignorant and have not thought about this level."
Wei Tianzhi said coldly: "I'm afraid it's not that I think too little, but that I think too much."
Gu Changan stood there for a moment, but Zhu Kaishan, who was next to him, smiled and said: "Chang'an has a straightforward temper, and he will say whatever he wants. If he offends him, it is purely unintentional. The eldest young master is polite and virtuous, and he is brotherly and friendly. With things like this, we can expect great prosperity for the Wei family!"
He stretched out his hand to stop hitting the smiling man. Seeing Zhu Kaishan say this, Wei Tianzhi could only look at Gu Changan and stopped talking.
Zheng Shufeng had repeatedly told him when he came here this time to be careful with the people of the Gu family. Now it seems that what my mother said is right. These guys have ulterior motives and are trying their best to sow discord between themselves and Wei Tianchong. However, Gu Changan was provocative, but in the wrong place. Wei Tianzhi and Wei Tianchong only have brotherhood, but no conflict of interests. Gu Changan's provocation is more like the instinct of a villain rather than a poisonous plan to prescribe the right medicine.
The convoy was still moving slowly, and there was silence in the dark forest.
No one knew that in a patch of grass hundreds of miles away from the convoy, three people were looking at this side.
Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng. Tang Jie has Yiyi on his shoulders, and Wei Tianchong is holding the little fox.
After learning that the Gu family had borrowed the Wei family's trade route, Tang Jie left Shimen Peak and flew directly to Canglong Mansion. In any case, Shi Jingzhai's purpose of asking him to leave was achieved. As for how he became furious after seeing the corpse. , Tang Jie will not consider it.
After arriving at Canglong Mansion, Tang Jie found Wei Tianchong and took him and Shi Meng there. They talked with each other along the way and found out what happened to each other. Wei Tianchong was certainly frightened when he heard that the Shimen Sect had secretly misappropriated resources worth hundreds of millions. Tang Jie was also shocked by the Wei government's generosity in investigating the material market.
But the matter has come to this point, and I can't stop even if I want to. I can only wait and see what happens. The matter in front of me needs to be resolved quickly.
Hurrying all the way, the three of them caught up with the convoy until they passed Hanmen Pass. They would reach Li Country not far further.
Looking at the moving convoy, Shi Meng asked Tang Jie: "What should we do now?"
Wei Tianchong snorted: "You still have to ask? This batch of goods cannot be sent to the territory of Li country through the hands of our Wei family under any circumstances, otherwise it will be siding with the enemy. Even if you don't know it in advance, you are guilty of negligence. Damn the Gu family , I’m going to skin them right now!”
As he was about to rush out, Tang Jie stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait."
Wei Tian was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Tang Jie replied: "The Shimen Sect is still preparing for shipment. This batch should be just a preliminary test. If we go out now, once the news comes out, it will be like a warning."
"What should we do?" Wei Tianchong asked.
Tang Jie chuckled: "It's not possible to do it openly, but it's still possible to do it secretly."
As he said that, he took out a black hood from the mustard bag and made a gesture on his face. Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng woke up at the same time.
"Robbery?" Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng shivered at the same time, and even the usually lazy little fox raised his head. Only Yiyi clapped her hands excitedly, shouting "good" and "good" repeatedly, with a look on her face as if she was worried that the world would not be in chaos.
Wei Tianchong looked at Tang Jie in disbelief: "You want me to rob our own motorcade?"
Tang Jie nodded seriously: "Do you have any better ideas besides this?"
Wei Tianchong and Shi dreamed for a long time and found that there was really no more suitable method than this.
Tang Jie handed over the mask he had prepared and said at the same time:
"Remember, first, you are not allowed to speak, don't let the eldest young master and the others hear your voice. Second, don't use your special weapons and spells, so as not to be seen. Third, try not to kill anyone, and if you encounter troublesome people, move back. Lure them further away before taking action. In short, the priority is to hide everything. Yiyiluoyue, you two, please don't take action."
The little fox nodded, and Yiyi sat down in frustration.
Here, Wei Tianchong took over the hoods from Shi Meng and the other two, and covered himself tightly, leaving only his two eyes and one mouth exposed. He even changed his clothes.
Tang Jie saw that there was nothing to expose, but he still felt uneasy. He looked at Wei Tianchong and muttered: "This figure is not easy to hide."
Pull out a strip of cloth, squeeze Wei Tian's stomach, and forcefully close up his abdomen, and then he said with satisfaction: "It's done now."
Wei Tianchong's face twitched, Shi Meng and Luo Yue suppressed their laughter, but Yiyi burst into laughter heartlessly.
Ready at this moment, the three of them winked and flew towards the convoy together. They did not reveal their figures immediately, but used the spiritual energy shielding method to hide their movements and approach. This method was not sophisticated, but it was enough to deal with spiritual disciples like Wei Tianzhi, Wu Xing and others. However, at the moment when they were approaching, one of the more than 20 escorts from the **** agency suddenly raised his head and looked into the sky, shouting in a deep voice: "Someone is approaching!"
With this shout, Wei Tianzhi, Zhu Kaishan and others also looked over.
Tang Jie immediately knew something was going to happen, and saw a fierce glint in Zhu Kaishan's eyes: "Who is so sneaky? Come out here!"
Cut a palm forward far away. ~IndoMTL.com~ This palm splitting the air, the palm wind was majestic and shook the air. Although it could not hurt Tang Jie and the others, it forced Tang Jie and the others to reveal themselves with one blow.
Seeing three masked men in black suddenly appear, a group of people still didn't understand what was going on. Wei Tianzhi, Wu Xinggu, Chang'an and several others had already attacked together, using various spells such as Gale Blade, Cold Snow Thorn, etc. The more than 20 assassins and bodyguards behind them even launched iron caltrops and flying knives at the three of them. Poison darts, etc. Although these things no longer pose much of a threat to Tang Jie and the others, when mixed with Wei Tianzhi's spells, they have a confusing effect, often leaving people with no time to distinguish them. They cannot allow attacks to come, so they can only attack them together. Sweep it down, thus causing a waste of mana.
Facing this scene, Tang Jie snorted and shook his palm. With the surge of spiritual power, he blocked all the attacks. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said in a different voice: "Leave the money and leave, please." If you don’t wait to die, you will be killed without mercy!”
According to the normal script, at this time Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng should shout "Kill without mercy" together to increase their momentum. However, the two of them were ordered by Tang Jie not to speak, so they nodded their heads together at this moment to acknowledge Tang Jie's words.
The momentum did not increase, and the scene became comical.
