Chapter 63 Arriving at the Pass



"Black bee venom?" After hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly thought of an incident they had encountered before. When they couldn't get through the crack in the ground, they received the news that Black Front was going to attack.

Who brought the black bees? Was it King Yu? Or the Northern Barbarians? Or perhaps King Qi?

They used the black bee venom to kill, but why did they do that? The targets were definitely not him and Han Shan, so the only ones who could be killed were these people pretending to be bandits.

Why? To silence them? To not let them return alive?

Lin Feng's head hurt. When had he ever experienced such things in his lifetime?

"There is no one alive at the scene." Lin Feng sighed.

Han Shan and Xiao Hei were too cruel, but luckily some people escaped. So, will these people pose a threat to their group?

"Uncle Han, let's go back quickly! I don't feel very at ease." Lin Feng said worriedly.

Han Shan nodded, but he still felt uneasy because he still had two grandsons in the inn!

"We can't stay in this inn anymore. We need to quickly reach Jingmen Pass and leave overnight," Han Shan suggested.

"Okay!" Lin Feng agreed. After all these things happened, they had no time to rest.

Xiao Hei carried the two people on his back and rushed back like the wind.

The two of them hadn't expected that, shortly after they left, a masked man in a black robe appeared at the scene. Looking at the mutilated corpses on the ground, he muttered, "How awesome!"

These words were not meant to praise Lin Feng and Han Shan, but Xiao Hei.

"Pa pa pa!" The masked man in black robe clapped his hands, and a group of masked men came out from all directions, there were hundreds of them.

"Clean up the scene!" the leader ordered.

"Yes!" After a shout, these people began to clean up.

"What a bunch of losers, actually got knocked over by a bull. However, now that Feng Xingjun's men have been wiped out, the king's plan won't be a cause for suspicion. Humph! Great Yan Dynasty, ah Great Yan Dynasty, after so many years of fighting, it's time for a result."

After Xiao Hei carried the two back to the inn, they hurried to the backyard. Fortunately, their family members were safe and sound.

Without wasting any time, the two of them went back and invited everyone to get on the road.

Lin Feng did not hide anything from his family members and told them everything.

After hearing this, Lin's father and mother were also very frightened.

"Since so many people have died, can we still pass Jingmen Pass safely?" asked Lin's father.

"It's no big deal. No one noticed us. Let's see how the situation goes. It would be great if we can get in. If we can't, we can just take a detour. With such a long border, there will always be a loophole to exploit." Lin Feng comforted.

Father Lin nodded. They had come so far and only had this little escape left. It would be a pity to give up. With the ancestor's protection, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Despite this, they still felt a little uneasy.

After settling the bill, everyone set off again. Xiao Hei seemed tireless and kept going at the same pace. When they passed by the bodies of the bandits, Lin Feng and Han Shan were stunned.

"Where are these corpses? Why are they all gone?" Han Shan looked confused.

Lin Feng then jumped out of the carriage and tried to run towards the hillside. Sure enough, there was no corpse there, and the soil on the ground had been turned over, and the bloodstains had disappeared.

"Someone has been here and cleaned up the scene. Who did it?" Lin Feng had a headache again. One thing after another, one thing after another. What was going on?

If you can't figure it out, just forget about it and move on.

After a journey of more than ten miles, when it was dark, the ox cart brought Lin Feng and his party to the pass.

"It's so spectacular!" Lin Feng looked up at the pass.

The pass was built on a high, steep mountain, with a high wall. There was no shelter around it, all the trees had been cut down, and there were no large rocks. Standing on the wall, the view ahead was clear at a glance.

"This is to broaden the field of vision so that the enemy will have nowhere to hide when they attack. Do you see the benchmark in front of us? This is the shooting range, which is marked in advance so that the heavy crossbows on the narrow pass can also achieve accurate shooting." Han Shan explained.

Lin Feng nodded. He didn't understand these things. It was the first time he saw such a high city wall.

It was already dark and the pass was closed. They could only enter tomorrow. However, looking at the lit torches on the pass, everyone felt a sense of security in their hearts, because they knew that this was King Qi's territory, and the people above were the defenders under King Qi's command. The name of King Qi made people feel at ease.

But Lin Feng thought differently from them, because he had experienced some things. These dozen soldiers pretending to be bandits made him begin to doubt King Qi. He had not figured out the fact that he sent people to rob the people!

Everything should be based on facts and be impartial. No matter how bad a person pretends to be a good person, he is not a good person, and no matter how bad a person acts, he cannot deceive people's hearts.

The sedan chair was also used as a room at night. Women and children slept inside, while the men built a bonfire outside and sat around the sedan chair.

The mutton brought from the inn was roasted on the campfire. Lin Feng also bought a few jars of wine from the inn for everyone. The wine had a light floral scent and smelled good.

Lin Feng was not good at drinking, but Han Shan, Xin Liehu and Da Zhuzi were all good drinkers. They drank and chatted, and most of the time it was Xin Liehu and Da Zhuzi who asked questions, while Han Shan was responsible for telling them some strange stories in the world.

Even Lin Feng listened with great interest. He had little experience, and Han Shan's story broadened his horizons.

"It is rumored that the tomb of the first generation national teacher Li Chunfeng is in the fiefdom of King Qi. It is full of traps and contains countless treasures. It is said that there are also elixirs that can make people immortal." Han Shan said to everyone after taking a sip.

Xin Hunter and Dazhuzi's eyes lit up. What a treasure! And the elixir that can make people immortal, it is really something to yearn for.

"No one has stolen it for more than a thousand years?" Lin Feng asked curiously. It is said that money can move people's hearts, and there is also the elixir of immortality.

Han Shan laughed heartily. "What a joke! Who is Li Guoshi? He's a godlike figure, very mysterious. No one knows his origins. He just appeared out of nowhere. After that, he began to recruit disciples, modified the original writing and pronunciation, standardized the measurement system, and taught divination and so on. How could he allow someone to disturb his peace? His tomb is very secretive. No one can find it, not even the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty."

After hearing this, Lin Feng was also amazed at this man's talent. He alone raised the civilization of this continent to several levels.

Dazhuzi asked in confusion, "Then who buried him?"

Han Shan shook his head and said, "That's unclear. Some say it was his disciple, while others say he buried himself."

Lin Feng was puzzled: "How can I bury myself?"

Han Shan replied, "He was injured by the Tiger Scorpion King in the desert outside Huangsha City. Knowing he was dying, he entered a pre-built tomb. Of course, all this is just hearsay."
