Chapter 161 Human life is like grass(1/2)
Fifty grandmasters, twenty-five each from Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City.
The mission is to intercept King Yongnian's food and fodder.
King Yongnian was trapped in Shuzhou, and food and grass had always been a problem, which the two forces had been attacking.
This time King Yongnian compromised, and the final result is actually still in the negotiation stage.
Food and grass is definitely the focus of the negotiations. It is foreseeable that maybe it will not be long before the two forces will no longer restrict King Yongnian's access to food and grass, or let alone blatant restrictions.
According to the information received, King Yongnian's food and grass have already been somewhat insufficient, otherwise he would not have compromised so easily. Now shipping a batch of food and grass can solve the urgent need.
If you destroy this batch of food and grass, you can gain a considerable advantage in negotiations.
All the masters present knew that King Yongnian would definitely attach great importance to this transportation of food and grass, but no one at the level of a grand master would be involved.
Sword Master Jiang Dao and Sword Master Wu Qingfeng have been watching him with eager eyes.
This does not mean that once you enter into negotiations, you will be able to sit back and relax.
Zhou Hu would not leave King Yongnian easily at this time.
Of course, even without the participation of the Grand Master, this action would definitely be extremely dangerous.
King Yongnian must attach great importance to it, and even if it is a secret operation, it will definitely have strong protection.
The most difficult part of the task is actually the process of destroying the grain.
As for escaping, it's not a big problem.
One grandmaster is determined to escape, but even if the other one is also a grandmaster, unless the difference in strength is particularly large, it is basically impossible to stop him.
What's more, they escaped in a group of ten.
So as long as the grain and grass are destroyed, the rest will be simple.
This is the truth that all the masters agree with after knowing the content of the mission. Some even think that King Yongnian's side will not send anyone to chase him if the grand master is not around.
The master-level warriors move forward behind the mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground at very fast speeds.
On the way, they met many warriors who were collecting elixirs in the mountains, and they basically killed them when they showed up.
It takes about three days for them to travel. If someone tells what happened to them, there might be problems. Even if the chance is very small, they cannot take this risk.
Three days later——
Fifty grandmasters came to Xindu, two thousand miles away from Jiangyuan City.
They want to ambush here and intercept.
The leader of the fifty-man team saw the person connecting with him. This person was the Grandmaster of Tiandao City and one of the first people to enter Shuzhou in search of the elixir.
The route planning for this operation was planned by the group of medicinal collectors who entered Shuzhou in advance.
Only when both forces participate can people trust it.
"Wu Ke!"
"Ginger leaves!"
Both of them are core members of the force. If they are not core members, they cannot participate in this plan. After all, this plan is still very important.
Jiang Luoye took out a map, and a place was already circled on the map.
"According to insider information, King Yongnian's food transport team will pass by here in one day. Because it is very likely that the army is transporting food. In order to increase the success rate of the mission, the ambush location is set here!"
He pointed to a canyon.
"The terrain here is not open. Even if you have a military formation, it will be difficult to deploy it."
Wu Ke took a look and nodded.
This location is indeed a good ambush location, as it can eliminate the factors of military formations. In such a narrow place, military formations will never be deployed.
"Then settle here!"
After making the decision, the two began to discuss detailed matters. Jiang Luoye was both the contact person and a participant in the ambush.
Time flies and one day passes.
A huge team entered the Xindufu area. This team was the Tianxing Army that had long evacuated from Jiangyuan City.
Everyone knew about the retreat of the Tianxing Army, so no one cared about it at first.
However, according to insider information, apart from the fact that King Yongnian really compromised, there was another very important reason for the Tianxing Army's retreat, which was to transport this large wave of food and grass.
"coming!"
The grandmaster sent out by the ambush team to investigate reported the latest news. Hearing these two words, there were fifty-one grandmasters in total, and they immediately became nervous.
Not long after, a huge team appeared directly in front of them.
They are from the Tianxing Army!
Only after half of the army entered did the fifty-one masters take action. In this case, it was too late to retreat.
"superior!"
All of them are masters, and these people move very quickly.
He arrived in front of the army almost instantly.
Naturally, the people of the Tianxing Army discovered such an obvious attack, but they did not panic at all and just watched them quietly.
Wu Ke, the leader of the team, suddenly realized something.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The Tianxing Army is an army that has just experienced a war and will never be indifferent to such an impact.
But he realized it was a little late——
One person stood up.
Wu Ke recognized this person instantly.
"Zhou Hu!"
Shouldn't you negotiate again?
It is impossible for the sword master and the sword master to make a mistake in judgment!
It's a pity that he couldn't say this. He was killed instantly without any ability to resist.
The other masters also recognized this person instantly and tried their best to escape.
The power of the Grand Master is not something they can contend with.
Now is the time for everyone to do their own thing!
It's not King Yongnian who's coming, so they still have a chance to escape.
But even so, they killed more than ten people again.
"You continue to transport food and grass, and I will go hunt him down!"
After leaving a few words, Zhou Hu directly chose a direction and chased after him.
This time he came here as a risky plan, and he needed to try his best to kill as many people as possible in order to meet his own interests.
Three days is the limit. He must rush back when the time is up, otherwise, the problem is likely to be discovered.
He killed more than a dozen people the moment they met, and then killed more than a dozen people again.
The rest were those that needed to be truly chased. Zhou Hu chose the direction with the most people and pursued them directly.
…
Human psychology is very strange. When encountering fatal danger, they will choose anything around them that may save their lives.
After being chased by the Grand Masters who came to ambush, many of them subconsciously headed towards the previously planned escape route.
They never thought that the escape route they had planned before would actually be used.
Two days later, Jiang Luoye was still running through the mountains and forests. He didn't dare to stop because he knew very well that Grand Master Zhou Hu was still behind him.
The people who were being chased were outnumbered at first. After they discovered this and dispersed, Zhou Hu started to chase down the strongest ones.
Unfortunately, Jiang Luoye, one of the team leaders, is a direct descendant of the Jiang family and the strongest person.
Therefore, Zhou Hu followed closely behind.
But just being on the run for a while is enough.
Because not only did he survive this time, but as long as he escaped for a while, after the news might have spread, Zhou Hu would worry, and he could be completely liberated.
He follows the route.
He participated in the planning of the route, so he naturally knew it by heart. Knowing this route is much better than proceeding at will.
The next place should be an abandoned village.
Wherever they arrived, Jiangyuan City was still a few hundred miles away. After a little further, Zhou Hu would never dare to follow.
Zhou Hu behind him also knew this, so he accelerated his speed.
