Chapter 317 Explosives
After Lao Wei and his men left with the spoils, Fang Chang, Zhang Yi and others seemed quite nervous.
With such an important dragon corpse being transported by only a few people, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be coveted by others.
Even though Chen Changfan had just warned that there were explosives hidden in the carriage and there were also a large amount of explosives in the market town, and that once the spoils were lost, they would simply ignite the explosives and die together, it was hard to say how many people would believe it.
After all, under the temptation of huge profits, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take risks.
Moreover, after the explosives are ignited, the dragon's corpse will probably be difficult to preserve. Wouldn't all the hard work of half a day be wiped out in an instant?
The three of them approached Chen Changfan and whispered their inner confusion, but Chen Changfan had a calm expression, as if he was not worried at all.
"Think about it, what kind of people would be able to rob our caravan?"
The three of them looked around, "Of course it's these ten major sects."
"The elites of these ten major sects, as well as the leaders of each sect, are capable of robbing."
"Boss, are you saying that we should hold the ten major sects here so that Old Wei and the others can transport the goods without worry?"
Yuan Lang thought about it and gave his own guess.
"But if we want to contain all ten major sects, it's probably difficult for us to do it with just a few of us..."
Chen Changfan gave Yuan Lang an approving look. "You guessed right, but we can only attract the attention of a part of the people. There will still be people secretly following us, waiting for an opportunity to strike."
He looked around and found that some disciples of the sects were whispering to each other and then left quietly.
"Then why don't you let us escort them together? That way we can have a better chance."
As warriors who were also on the stairs, Lao Wei and the others were not afraid of the other party.
Of course, except for those top ones.
Chen Changfan shook his head slightly. "You guys have other purposes. Watch my instructions later. Besides, the more people we escort, the more likely we'll attract other people's attention. And there are two unassuming masters in that convoy, so I think we can rest assured."
"Are there any masters?"
The three of them were immediately puzzled.
The top fighters in Xiaofeng Village are all here, so are there any other experts in the team?
Old Wei...his ability is just average.
"No, where did Blackhorn go? Could it be him?"
Zhang Yi glanced at everyone and then whispered.
"And Deng Jiuxian, that old drunkard is not here either."
"Could it be that the boss is talking about these two..."
The three of them looked at each other, all somewhat skeptical.
……
Tatata!
The wheels rolled forward, Lao Wei drove in the front, his eyes constantly looking around, alert to any possible enemies, and his expression was tense throughout the whole process.
There was no other way. The boss entrusted him with the task of escorting such important goods, and he didn't want the goods to be robbed halfway. If that happened, he would fight to the death to protect the goods even at the cost of his life.
"Sir Wei, we have checked underneath the three carriages, and there is nothing..." A young and short soldier trotted forward and respectfully reported to Old Wei, but before he could finish his words, Old Wei covered his mouth.
"Shh!" Old Wei looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this place. He whispered, "Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to hear?"
The short sergeant's eyes were filled with fear, realizing he had nearly made a serious mistake. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "I checked underneath all three carriages. They're completely bare, not a single pack of explosives."
really.
Old Wei's heart sank.
He is just talking nonsense.
If explosives had been installed on the carriage, how could he not know about it?
If there really were explosives, he would have been more confident. Once he was unable to resist and was about to lose, he would have only to order the fuse to be pulled.
At that time, death is fine, as long as the enemy is not successful.
But now there is not even a bag of explosives here, and he has no chance to sacrifice gloriously.
But at this point, the news cannot be leaked at all, and the matter of the explosives must be thoroughly confirmed, so as to deter those malicious people behind us.
Thinking of this, his mind raced, he made up his mind, and immediately shouted loudly:
"What? That bastard Chen Changfan put so much explosives under the carriage. Is he trying to kill me?"
He had to admit that at this moment, he had already displayed the best acting skills of his life.
The short young soldier next to him who came to report the news was dumbfounded, but when he saw Old Wei winking at him, he immediately realized that Lord Wei was acting.
He took a deep breath and immediately got into the role.
"Yes, sir, that Chen guy simply doesn't take our lives seriously. Don't you see, there are high explosives under the carriage? If a spark accidentally jumps on it, I'm afraid our entire convoy will be blown to pieces!"
Old Wei was deeply pleased with the young soldier's performance, and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
"Go see if you can remove those damn explosives! Be careful, if a fire starts, we're all done for!"
As he spoke, Lao Wei pushed the latter, as if he was urging him on, but in fact he was silently stuffing a few round things into the other person's hands.
The young and short sergeant nodded in agreement, turned and left, touching the thing in his arms.
Oh my god, they are all melon grenades!
He was a smart man and immediately understood Lao Wei's intention.
This was to have him pretend to defuse the explosives, then quietly detonate the grenade, creating the illusion of a defusing error to confuse the enemy.
In fact, there were quite a few people following the team along the way. Except for the four sects of Water God Sect, Qinghe Martial Arts School, Mo Dao Sect, and Taixu Pavilion, almost all of them were disciples from the other six sects.
Some of these people were still trying hard to cover up their tracks, while others didn't even bother pretending. After following for a while, they walked onto the official road in a swagger and followed from a distance.
These people are like hungry hyenas, eyeing a piece of fat meat.
Right now they are only in the stage of cautious observation, and it won't be long before they step forward to test us and reveal their sharp claws.
By then, it will definitely be a tough battle.
Lao Wei is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but he is afraid of disappointing his boss's expectations, so what he has to do now is to try his best to intimidate those guys and delay the conflict as much as possible.
The young and short sergeant returned to the team and immediately called his best brother. The man was also thin, but he had a pair of thick eyebrows and his eyes looked quite smart.
The two of them exchanged a few words and then boarded the carriage at the end of the team.
"Those people behind us are not fools. If we just throw the grenade disguised as explosives, I'm afraid they will be seen through by someone with ulterior motives." The short sergeant looked serious.
"If you want them to believe there's explosives under the car, then make it look real, even more real than the real thing!" The thick-browed sergeant's eyes were determined. "It's March now, I need to work hard on writing. I currently have 3 drafts saved. Let's see if I can write 0 words today! Here's the first update, please give me your precious votes~"
