In the early morning, in the eastern suburbs of Xishui City, the horse-drawn coach station.

The small inn was full of people, and almost all the Han family went out to see Han Fei go to the king's capital Sain. He would not return to Xishui City for at least a year or even longer.

Liya's sisters were crying red and their eyes were reluctant to let their brother go. Han Mutian patted Han Fei's shoulder with emotion and said, "Fei'er, you can only take care of yourself in the future. Remember that Sain wants to write a letter to your family."

Han Fei nodded and said goodbye to Kalena, Han Li, Carol, Manniu and others one by one. Finally, when Han Wei'er was at the end, she suddenly rushed into Han Fei's arms and whispered in tears: "Brother..."

Han Fei gently stroked the girl's hair and said softly: "After I leave, you must study hard in the Holy Temple to become the best warrior, can you protect your younger brothers and sisters?"

A week ago, Han Wei'er received the Dou Qi Chong Meridian in the Holy Temple and successfully penetrated the Dou Qi meridian and became a warrior. This was also one of the conditions proposed by Han Fei to Dodd. Wei'er's excellent talent made Dodd amazed and directly accepted her as her apprentice.

Although Han Fei still doesn't know how strong Dode is, he believes that no one in the entire Xishui Temple can surpass this hidden old guy. With Dode as his mentor, Weier's progress and growth can be expected.

Weier nodded vigorously, raised her head and kissed Han Fei quickly despite her shyness. Han Mutian and others around her immediately showed a knowing smile, and the sad atmosphere of parting diluted a lot.

The whip sounded loudly and the horses neighed. The convoy of the post station slowly set out on the itinerary. Han Fei, sitting in a luxurious carriage, waved goodbye to his family and soon disappeared at the end of the plain.

Although it was his first time leaving his hometown, Han Fei had only the excitement of going to Xintiandi. In comparison, the other two young warriors sitting in the same carriage were far less calm than him, and he seemed a little sad and even confused.

Like Han Fei, they were both noble children studying in the Holy Temple in Xishui City. But what made Han Fei ashamed was that although he recognized these two people, he didn't know what the other party was called.

Both young warriors brought their entourages, only Han Fei was alone. Han Mutian thought that he would take one or two servants to serve him, but was rejected by Han Fei - since he was out, how good is it to be free alone!

The carriages that the three of them rode in were the most luxurious carriages of the same size. At least a dozen people were stuffed into the other carriages. There were not only a few carriages in the convoy, but also two small carriages of small size, and more than 30 mercenaries were responsible for protecting them.

From Xishui City to the king's capital Sain, it takes at least one week at a normal speed. The road has to pass through plains, mountains and forests. In many relatively remote places, bandit groups of wandering adventurers and outlaws often appear. Some small caravans often form large teams and hire mercenaries to ensure safety.

Therefore, the long-distance carriages at Xishuicheng Station will only set off every once in a while until there is a suitable team. After all, safety is the most important thing.

As the convoy gradually moved away from Xishui City, the two teenagers in the same carriage as Han Fei quickly returned to normal. Among them, those who seemed older finally asked: "You are Han Fei from the Han family, right? I remember you rarely come to the temple, I am Yun Yang from the Yun family."

"Yes, hello!" Han Fei smiled.

It is also a fate to be able to ride in the same car together, not to mention that the three of them have to stay in the car together for a week. The Yun family is also one of the twelve famous families. The Yun family in Xishui City is definitely not under the Han Fei family.

Another blonde boy named Sterling, is the second son of Lord Redfin's family, a first-level high-level martial artist, and Yun Yang is a first-level top martial artist. Both of them were lucky enough to pass the Holy Temple trial half a month ago, so they are qualified to go to the family martial artist in the royal capital to study.

Yun Yang is one year older than Han Fei, and Sterling is a few months younger than Han Fei. His about the same age and similar experience make the three of them quickly become familiar with each other.

The convoy headed southeastward all the way, and the next day, it left the plains and entered the forest and hilly mountains.

Mountains are the most dangerous journey on this journey. The convoy will take at least three days to enter the hinterland of the Minglan Kingdom. The roads here are rugged and rare, and bandits often appear.

After entering the mountains, a small dispute occurred in the convoy, and the two caravans had a disagreement on which road they took. One caravan believed that they should take the main road to ensure safety, while the other insisted that the main road was more dangerous, and it was better to take the small road to save time.

Fortunately, with the coordination of the station convoy, the team continued to move along the main road, and there was no trouble along the way.

But at noon on the fourth day after the convoy left Xishui City, trouble finally came.

At this time, the convoy was completely in the hinterland of the mountains. The mountain roads that had no one to repair and maintain were becoming increasingly difficult to move forward. They were surrounded by continuous mountains and forests, and there was no way to see even a single family.

After running for a long distance, the mercenaries responsible for protecting the convoy were a little tired, and the safety of a few days made them relax their vigilance, riding horses lazily following the convoy, cursing the scorching sunlight that made them sweat.

At this moment, I heard a "boom" sound, and the carriage walking in the front actually fell directly into a pit in the middle of the road. The two horses pulling the carriage neighed in pain in the big pit. The half-part carriage behind fell to one side, and the carriage was immediately spread all over the floor!

The mercenaries next to them were shocked. They looked at it just now, but how could a hole suddenly appear on the ground? The only explanation is that someone dug a trap here in advance and waited for them to come!

"There are enemies..."

Before the last word "man" was released, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the woods dozens of meters away, hitting the throat of the mercenary who was about to call the police. The mercenary fell from his horse.

This sharp arrow seemed to be a signal, and then the bow and arrow fired "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds endlessly. Dozens of arrows shot out from the dense woods on both sides of the road, targeting the mercenaries on the horse's back!

But the mercenaries responsible for protecting the convoy were not newbies. They walked back and forth on this road many times and encountered danger more than once. While the mercenary just now issued a warning, the experienced mercenary immediately fell from the back of the horse that was most susceptible to attack, quickly leaned to the carriage, and used the horses to block the flying arrows.

The mutated suddenly broke out, and the convoy suddenly stopped moving forward. The merchants in the caravan and the passengers of the post station caravan suddenly became in chaos. Some people even screamed in panic. This was the first time that many of them had gone far away and had encountered bandit attacks.

"Don't panic, stay in the carriage and don't come out!" The leader of the convoy was quite calm and quickly shouted: "We have mercenaries and warriors, don't be afraid!"

Unfortunately, the mercenaries were suppressed by the attackers' bows and arrows. It would be good if they could save themselves. Only a few warriors in the mercenary team swung their swords while blocking the arrows, and rushed out to try to eliminate the archers ambushed in the woods. However, bandits immediately came up and the two sides immediately fought fiercely.

Among the convoy, in the only luxurious carriage in the post station convoy, Han Fei stood up and took out the sword from his bag.

Sterling, who was sitting next to him, was startled: "Brother Han Fei, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Of course you are going out to kill those bandits!" Han Feiqi said: "Are we just sitting here and waiting?"

Sterling blushed and murmured, "But they told us to stay in the carriage. Aren't there mercenaries outside?"

Han Fei was speechless. He really underestimated the flowers growing in the greenhouse. He really didn't know how the other party passed the trial of the temple. As a warrior, he didn't even have the courage to do so.

"There are many enemies, and I think the mercenaries may not be able to stop them. As warriors, there is absolutely no reason to sit idly by. What's more, once the mercenaries are killed by them, do you think those bandits will let us go?" Han Fei said in a deep voice: "Men are supposed to kill people, not to mention that they are killing damn bandits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked open the door of the car and jumped out of it.

Han Fei's words made Sterling's face flushed. The young warrior who had never encountered such a situation was indeed a little scared. Yun Yang, who was originally a little hesitant, shook his whole body, pulled out his weapon without a sound, and rushed out of the car with Han Fei.

Han Fei, who jumped out of the carriage, looked back and forth and found that the situation of the mercenaries was quite bad. Although the bandits had not yet been pressed over, the arrows shot out from the dense forest were always continuous, and several mercenaries were either dead or injured, while the warriors rushing into the woods in front were surrounded by a larger number of bandits.

If this continues, the mercenaries will sooner or later not be able to hold on! Han Fei's eyes flashed and he rushed into the woods next to the road. The archers were undoubtedly the first targets to be eliminated.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He had just entered the woods and two crossbow arrows shot from left and right, at extremely fast speed!

"break!"

Han Fei suddenly shouted, and the roar of spring thunder in his tongue was amazing. The two crossbow arrows that were about to hit him seemed to hit some kind of invisible barrier and suddenly fell to the ground.

His steps did not stop at all. He swung the heavy sword that was tightly clamped with both hands and swung it down, and a golden sword light shot out, instantly splitting the grass more than 20 meters away in front.

The blades of grass were flying, and the bandit archers hidden in it suddenly appeared, their faces full of horror!
