Chapter 261 Encountering the Treasure Stealing Group on the Road
The bright sunshine rose from the east. At this moment, in the small courtyard beside the lake in Qingche Manor, Ye Li got up skillfully, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then went to the door, picked up the wooden sword he had made a few days ago, and went to the open space outside the gatehouse for morning exercises.
It includes all the basic sword techniques such as stabbing, picking, horizontal, chopping, splitting, and slashing. Ye Li practiced the sword skillfully step by step, and the fallen autumn leaves around him fluttered with the waving of the wooden sword in his hand.
In line with the warm light rising in the east, Ye Li stepped forward and swung his sword in a graceful and elegant movement. The whistling sword edge blew up a breeze. As Ye Li turned his footsteps and slashed with the sword, some dust blown up by the breeze with him as the center spread out. Combined with his handsome appearance and clothes, he looked like a peerless hero with a sword in his hand.
clap clap clap!
After completing a day's morning exercise, Ye Li turned around and heard applause, but what caught his eye was Yaoyao standing outside the kitchen clapping her hands.
Yaoyao saw Ye Li looking at her, put down her clapping hands, and said with a smile on her face:
"Brother Yeli got up early in the morning to practice swordplay. He really worked hard. However, the swordplay he used today is different from yesterday. Brother is really knowledgeable and talented."
"It's not that amazing actually. The sword technique I practiced yesterday was something my brother saw in an ancient book. It's said that after you master it, you can split mountains and seas. It's pretty magical."
"Wow, there is such a powerful sword technique. It sounds like something that an immortal would use. If I can find an immortal to ask for advice, maybe the sword technique that brother learned before will be mastered faster."
"Yaoyao, it's not that easy to see an immortal. Even in the entire Liyue, there are only a handful of Liyue people who can find an immortal to ask for advice and find the immortal method."
Ye Li smiled helplessly, trying his best to maintain his image as an ordinary person, and asked the most basic common sense questions of the Liyue people. However, these words were very confusing to Yaoyao, who was blessed by the immortal.
"Hey, is it that hard to find an immortal? Aren't they everywhere?"
"Okay, Yaoyao has been talking for so long, I'm hungry, breakfast for the journey should be ready."
Ye Li changed the subject reluctantly, and Yaoyao reacted and ran into the kitchen. Not long after, Yaoyao had already cooked breakfast, packed it in oil paper and a wooden box, and moved it to the cart that Ye Li had made the day before.
At this time, Grandma Ping, who had already packed her luggage, came out of the wooden house and waved to Ye Li to come over and move her things.
Ye Li walked up to Grandma Ping with a gentle smile, and took the luggage on the ground. Before Ye Li could lift the luggage, Grandma Ping said:
"Xiao Li, take this black sword. It is very suitable for self-defense. You can also protect the child Yaoyao at the same time."
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and took the fitted long sword from Grandma Ping's hand and hung it behind his back to contrast with the wooden sword hanging around his waist.
After moving the luggage and placing it on the cart, Ye Li took Yaoyao and Grandma Ping out of the courtyard, and Yaoyao also closed the courtyard door.
The morning sun shone on the people of Qingche Village. At this time, many passers-by greeted the three people who were preparing to leave for Liyue Harbor.
"Hey, little brother Ye Li, take grandma and Yao Yao to Liyue Harbor today. Be careful on the road."
"I know, Mr. Bai, don't you know my abilities? I was the one who chased away the wild boar that broke into your field a few days ago."
"I know you're a capable kid, but you have to be careful with Yaoyao and grandma following you. If anything happens to them, you won't be able to explain to our fellow villagers."
"Don't worry, even if we encounter a group of treasure robbers, I can kill them with one sword."
Ye Li made his assurance to his neighbor Mr. Bai in a serious look. The swords hanging on his waist and back were very conspicuous. This scene also made Mr. Bai, who had been observing Ye Li for a long time, nod with satisfaction.
After a while, the three of them came to a road in Qingche Village, where carriages and caravans were parked nearby. Ye Li walked towards a team of carriages holding the token given to him by his grandmother.
After some conversation and confirmation, Ye Li moved his own luggage, that of his grandmother and Yaoyao into the carriage, and then helped Grandma Ping into the carriage.
At this time, Yaoyao stood in front of the carriage door, looking at Ye Li who was riding a horse with a little concern, and said:
"Brother Yeli, are you really not going to come and sit with us?"
"It's okay, Yaoyao, you've seen how powerful I am, so just sit in there with grandma."
"Okay, but brother, you have to be careful. It would be bad if you get hurt."
"Got it. Go quickly and don't keep grandma waiting anxiously."
Watching Yaoyao walk into the carriage, Ye Li waved and patted the horse he was sitting on, and said in a cold tone:
"Kid, remember, don't run too fast when you set out later, and try to keep a low profile. After all, you are the best horse I picked out from among the folks, so don't let me down."
The horse was trembling at this moment. An inexplicable threat and understandable words made him nod his head. If he didn't obey, he would definitely be beaten in the waist.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Ye Li showed a warm smile on his face, rode his horse and set off with the caravan, heading for Liyue Harbor, tens of thousands of miles away.
……
The roads in Liyue Mountain are endless and like a maze. Starting from Qingche Village and following a river road, you can see endless towering peaks and sliding waterfalls.
Some of the lower mountains are connected to the river along the mountain roads, and the mountain roads beside the rivers also have some hidden threats and monsters.
At this moment, on a hill somewhere, Baoer, the leader of the running group, was looking at the route of Qingche Village with a telescope. The twitching of her mouth clearly expressed her emotions.
"Who came up with this idea to rob Tianquan Ningguang's caravan? Which team or group are they from?"
"Report to Sister Baoer! It's Zhang San from the 250th Regiment. He is now leading a group of brothers to ambush near a road that the caravan must pass through. According to estimates, they will run into them in about half an hour."
"What a happy guy! Doesn't that guy know that there are more than a dozen God's Eye owners on the other side? Even if the elemental bottles on his side are enough to cause more reactions, he will definitely be beaten up if he touches them due to the quality."
"What should we do then, Sister Baoer?"
The member of the treasure-hunting team who came to report at this moment was a little panicked. He absolutely believed in Sister Baoer's words, because Sister Baoer was one of the most prestigious leaders in their entire treasure-hunting team, and she had definitely seen much more of the world than him.
"What else can we do? We can only give up on Zhang San and his men. This is not our fault. We can only say that he was unlucky and caught a tough guy. Brothers, let's retreat."
"Got it, Sister Baoer, everyone pack up and retreat."
At this moment, Zhang San, a member of the treasure-stealing group who was unaware that the main force had already evacuated, ambushed on a landslide on a low hill with more than 200 of his brothers. Bows, arrows, darts and elemental bottles were ready. They only needed to wait for the right opportunity and launch a surprise attack to make a fortune.
"Hehehe, you little caravan passing by, your goods belong to me today."
Zhang San grinned like a villain, staring at the approaching caravan with excitement and seriousness, and said confidently.
Little did he know that Zhang San's current confidence would be shattered to pieces in two minutes, leaving only regret after being interrogated.
