Chapter 16 Waiting
In the early morning of the next day, Yizhe and his group embarked on the journey.

They want to reach the Bridge of Coldwinds before dark.

The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility of ordinary people is less than five meters.

Of course, for the owner of the white eyes, no amount of wind and snow can block his sight.

Everyone walked and rested all the way, moving forward with difficulty.

During the period, Yizhe found someone peeping secretly, but he didn't do anything.

The opponent was not the last leader of the Red Ant Thieves Group, but just a few spies of thieves.

Thinking about it, it should be to inquire about the whereabouts of the caravan, so that the accomplices in front can be notified at any time to prepare.

"My lord, drink some hot bar!" Taking advantage of the break, Qing Shi squeezed next to Yi Zhe, took out a wine bottle from his arms, and flattered him.

The wine bottle is not big enough to be squeezed with one hand. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The mouth of the bottle is funnel-shaped. The body of the bottle is the color of white jade with blue and white patterns printed on it. It is not an ordinary wine at first glance. .

"This is..." Yi Zhe took the porcelain bottle curiously.

"This wine must not be an ordinary product, right? The packaging alone feels expensive!" He glanced at Qing Shi.

"That's right, my lord, you are really astute!" Qing Shi tried hard to please.

"This is the top-quality sake that I bought when I went to Tango Country last time! I have never been willing to drink it, so I have kept it until now!" Saying that, Qing Shi glanced at the wine bottle in the young man's hand with great pain. look.

"It's produced in Tang Country!" Yi Zhe was extremely moved.

It is a very rich country with many hot springs. Tangren Village is also a peaceful village, and it is a very suitable place for vacation. Jilai once said that he likes to go there the most.

A place known for its enjoyment, the wine produced must not be too bad.What's more, Qing Shi also said that this is the best he bought.

"You should keep it for yourself!" He chuckled and put the bottle back into the fat leader's arms.

"My lord doesn't look down on Bojiu, my subordinate?" Qing Shi pretended to be angry.

Unexpectedly, he gave away the good wine that he didn't even want to drink, but was rejected by others, which made him very uncomfortable.

"No, no, no!"

"I think you misunderstood!" Yizhe quickly apologized, and said: "I don't drink, because I'm under the age, so I can't drink!"

"Furthermore, I've never drank alcohol before. If I drink, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. What's more, there are red ants and thieves out there coveting. If I make a mistake, I'm afraid disaster will happen!"

"I see!" Qing Shi echoed, expressing his understanding.

"I wonder how old you are, my lord? You can't even drink!" He asked curiously.

And looked at Yi Zhe carefully, this boy looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, he didn't seem to be old enough to drink.

"Okay, stop asking! Go and do your work!"

Yizhe refused to answer, he casually picked up a handful of snow, squeezed and squeezed it in his hands, and started playing on his own, ignoring the fat leader beside him.

Seeing this, Qing Shi had no choice but to walk away slowly.

"Let's go—"

Not long after, Yijie piled up a row of snowballs beside him, and the fat leader called for departure from the team.

"gone!"

Kicking the snowball piled up in front of him, he turned back, his white figure submerged in the wind and snow.

On the road again, he found that the number of red ant thieves coming to snoop was much less.

Maybe it's because we're almost at the Bridge of Cold Wind!

"Leader Qing Shi!" Yi Zhe shouted loudly.

The whistling sound of the cold wind filled the whole world. If you didn't shout hard, the people behind couldn't hear the sound at all.

"What's the matter? My lord!" Hearing the call, the fat team leader tightened his coat and walked to the front with difficulty.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with being called from the comfortable compartment to the cold outside, the fat team leader still forced a smile to greet him.

"How far are we from the Bridge of Cold Wind?" Yizhe asked loudly with his back facing the cold wind.

He had never been here before, although he knew from the map that there was a bridge ahead called Cold Wind.But he doesn't know the actual distance.

After hearing this, Qing Shi wrapped his scarf tightly, shrunk his neck, took out a pocket watch from his pocket, wiped the lens, looked at it seriously, and then said loudly: "We have been walking for six hours. Judging from this forward speed, we are not far from the Bridge of Cold Wind!"

At a glance, there is snow all around, and it is difficult to judge the terrain.Therefore, Yi Zhe couldn't judge where the caravan went based on the terrain on the map.

The reason why I have not lost my way in such a vast snow field is all due to the compass.

And the way the fat leader judged the caravan's location made him even more amazed.

He actually estimated his position through the relationship between speed and time. Compared with judging the position based on the terrain during the usual journey, the style of the fat leader is really much higher.

It has to be impressive!
"Then... can we get there before dark?" Yi Zhe asked again.

"I'm afraid... bah..." Qing Shi just opened his mouth, but swallowed the wind and snow, spat, and then said carefully: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, the wind and snow are too big today, even if we speed up When we get there, I'm afraid it will be dark already!"

"You can only arrive after dark—" Yi Zhe looked up at the dark sky, and said helplessly.

A big battle is brewing on the Bridge of Cold Wind, and it is inevitable.

If they just hurried on their way and arrived there in the dark, the two sides would definitely start a fierce battle.

However, he had no experience in night combat, so he was a little worried.

Moreover, as far as the Red Ant Thieves are concerned, they must be waiting for work at the Bridge of Cold Wind.

If you just bumped into it head-on in such a weary manner, the situation would be very bad.

"Let everyone slow down! We are not going to reach the Bridge of Cold Wind today!" He said loudly to Qing Shi.

"That's fine!" After all, he was also a person who went out to earn a living, and Qing Shi quickly understood the other party's intentions.

Slowing down the speed, on the one hand, is to maintain physical strength and prevent possible sneak attacks. After all, we are almost approaching the Bridge of Cold Wind, and no one can guarantee whether the Red Ant Thieves will lose their temper and start fighting in advance; On the other hand, it is also to ensure that everyone has enough physical strength and spirit to deal with the enemy after encountering the red ant bandit group at the Bridge of Cold Wind.

Finally, when it was more than an hour away from the Bridge of Cold Wind, the caravan stopped and stationed on the spot.

In a camp on the Bridge of Cold Wind, a spy dressed in white was reporting the situation to a tall middle-aged man.

"Boss, the caravan is already stationed and is no longer moving forward!"

"No more progress?"

"How far are they from here?" the leader asked loudly.

"About an hour or so!" The spies replied.

"Go down!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and dismissed the spies.

Snapped--

After his subordinates left, the leader was so angry that he smashed the wine glass beside him.

The location where the caravan is stationed is not far from here, nor is it close.

If he wants to lead people to attack at night, not only will he lose the advantages of waiting for work and terrain, but he will also be at a disadvantage due to the unequal number of the two sides.

But seeing the enemy resting peacefully not far away, he gritted his teeth with hatred, unable to calm down for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, he finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart, stopped thinking about taking the initiative to attack, and concentrated on recuperating, waiting for the upcoming battle.
