After Fang Jue explained his purpose, the operatives showed strange expressions. The older ones shook their heads and smiled, while the younger ones looked at Fang Jue with sympathy and joking eyes.

The leading bearded bodyguard laughed directly.

"You scholar, you are an honest man at first glance, and you were deceived by that old slippery man! The terrain of Heishui Gorge is steep and there are tigers and wolves in the mountains. How many people won't die in that year? Normal ruthless, not as mysterious as he said!"

He paused and said, "But he is not a lie to you. He fell to death or was bitten by a tiger or wolf. Where can the corpse be seen? Saying this is just to scare you to give more money to tea. This old man is so bad."

Fang Jue also smiled. He didn't have any doubts about the words of the tea boss, but he was just out alone. He would rather lose some money than show off. Since there is no danger, it is the best.

Besides, the section of the Yunmeng Mountain Heishui Gorge ahead is indeed a barren mountain and wild ridge, with wild beasts appearing, which is dangerous.

When you go out, safety is the first priority, and showing off is not a necessity.

So he bowed and said, "It's inconvenient to walk alone in the wilderness, so I hope you can make it convenient."

The bearded corpsor waved his hand carelessly: "What's there to say about this? It's convenient for others, but it's convenient for yourself..."

"Let's go." Beside him, another bodyguard with a burnt face showed a look of vigilance, looked at Fang Jue, and whispered to the bearded man: "Brother Hu, this person doesn't know the origin and has no relatives and reasons. It's important for us to protect the bodyguards, don't make any more details."

The bearded escort thought for a while and asked Fang Jue: "Scholar, since you are going to take the exam, you have brought the documents and documents issued by your local government and your identity documents?"

"Of course there is." Fang Jue took out the official documents issued by the county and handed them to the bearded man.

After reading the bearded escort, he handed it to the yellow-faced escort.

The yellow-faced corps officer looked carefully several times, then returned it to Fang Jue, humming and stopped talking.

"I just said that this scholar looks kind-hearted, not like a villain. Fang Xiucai, I, brother Wu, are cautious by nature and speak straightforwardly, but have no bad intentions. Don't be used to it." The bearded corpsor said generously.

Fang Jue said: "Dear brothers are responsible on their shoulders, so you must be careful, so why would you blame me?"

The bearded man Wu Pao Head laughed: "Good, please feel free to my temper, let's go on the road together! I'm a rough man, and I can learn a few more words from you on the road."

So the group boarded the road, Fang Jue rode a horse and the two heads of Hu and Wu, who were leading the team, walked side by side, and a few men behind him followed him,

When he arrived at the city gate, the bearded man Hu Batou suddenly stopped his horse, got off his horse and walked to the tea stall under the city wall. The boss of Gencha said a few words.

The boss looked at the team here with great depression and reluctantly took out a few money.

"Fang Xiucai, your money has been collected."

After Hu Piaotou came back, he returned the three big money to Fang Jue and said in a rough voice: "I don't care about this old sloppy man, but our Fuwei Escort Agency is all heroes who rely on their abilities to make a living. He uses our name to cheat money, which is not OK."

Fang Jue stared at him for a while, a smile that was very suitable for his identity appeared on his face, and he clasped his fists: "Thank you, Brother Hu."

"Rely on friends when going out, don't be polite!" Hu Paota waved his hand: "Brothers, get up, shout, and walk!"

Next, the team followed the flat official road.

Along the way, both sides gradually became familiar with each other.

The bearded escort is named Hu Feng, who is the head of the Fuwei escort agency. His weapon is a purple gold sword. His soul-breaking sword technique has reached 80% or 90% of the time. He is generous and loyal, and is quite famous in the world.

The man who started to speak out against Fang Jue joined was Wu Junshan, who was the deputy chief escort leader.

When using a sword, he doesn't talk much, he cherishes words like gold, and a burnt yellow face makes him unable to see his joy or anger.

But unexpectedly, he actually graduated from the Qingyun Sword Sect, a major sect in the Southeast. He was a lot taller than Hu Feng, a man who was born in the martial arts world. For some reason, he was in the small Fuwei Escort Agency and became Hu Feng's deputy.

The rest are veterans of darts.

I used to see storytelling novels that describe these strollers and stooges at the bottom of the world, which would give people the stereotype of "empty brute force".

In fact, these people have been traveling around the world for a long time and dancing with the God of Death. They are actually the most scheming, with a lot of experience in the world, and they are all thick and thin.

Such a team is very strong, even if they really encounter big insects and beasts, small groups of bandits and robbers, they can definitely deal with it.

Two days later, the team finally entered Yunmeng Mountain, and the road suddenly became rugged and difficult to walk. It was surrounded by deep mountains and forests, and there was no crowded village.

The speed of progress became very slow, and I could only walk thirty or forty miles a day.

It was just dark on the day, and I could hear the rumbling sound of water coming from the front. I was about to reach the most difficult section of Heishui Gorge.

Hu Feng waved his hand and asked the team to stop camping on the spot, nourish their spirits, set off early tomorrow morning, and pass through in one go.

The corpses made a fire to cook, arranged trap alarms around the surrounding area, and after eating, they chatted around the bonfire,

Interestingly, most of these people are not well-educated and live a life of blood licking from a knife. However, most of them send their children to school and do not want their descendants to continue to live such a life. Therefore, they generally respect scholars.

After learning that Fang Jue was teaching, he felt a little more like a star swaying to the moon. He asked this and that, and he was polite and flattering. The cleanest water, the best meat, and the softest bedding were all given to Fang Jue, which made Fang Jue a little embarrassed.

Fang Jue was also willing to talk to them, which was very helpful to increase his knowledge. Those allusions in the study of Guodong County will never be heard.

Hu Feng was anxious and left the team with a knife and found a big tree to release water.

Wu Junshan also followed, unbuttoned his belt and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu, there is Heishui Gorge ahead. You have to give me a brief explanation. What do you think of bringing that scholar Fang with you?"

He has been a deputy to Hu Feng for many years and knows that the other party is a man. Although he is generous, he is definitely not a person who medds and is not a kind person who is not a man of other people's business.

Why did he go against the norm this time and bring this scholar Fang, who has never met before and has no martial arts skills?

Speaking of which, Heishui Gorge is indeed a dangerous place and a dangerous place.

Not only is the terrain difficult to move on the road, but the yin energy is also very heavy.

During the founding Emperor Dahao's founding emperor, he led three or four thousand elite troops, relying on the terrain, and fought with the enemy for half a year, and exhausted the opponent's 100,000 troops. The killing was extremely tragic. It is said that there are still resentful souls in the canyon that cannot be dissipated.

Every year, passers-by die here. I can’t say what the reason is, but it may not be bitten to death by beasts or fall off a cliff and die.

Could it be that there is something really strange about Heishui Gorge? Take the scholar on the side, make a "bait" and throw it out to save your life at critical moments?
