Xiang Que also squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, frowned and said: "In that case, it will be difficult to catch them all, but it will be very annoying for me to be targeted by such a group of bandits. I want to think of a way, which is a bit contradictory.
, this feeling is so unpleasant”
Tan Xiaolou sneered "hehe".
Xu Song suddenly said: "The sword guard of Molu Mountain has been leading the team and has not returned to the mountain."
"Huh?" Xiang Que was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Song blankly.
The other party then changed the topic and said completely inconsistent with the previous sentence: "Xiaolou will go with you."
"Ugh!" Tan Xiaolou was also stunned and said in disbelief: "How come I don't know about this?"
Xu Song said: "Sorry, you know now..."
Xiang Que frowned and said, "He? What kind of strength does he have?"
Tan Xiaolou sneered and said: "The two shopkeepers and I have supported the Beisong Pavilion gathering place in Mashan City. What kind of strength do you ask me?"
Xu Song said: "He may not necessarily help you with anything, but besides doing things with others, he should be able to help you in many places."
A moment later, Tan Xiaolou followed Xiang Que out of Mashan City carrying a package.
Outside the west gate of Mashan City, between the Chaotian River, people from the Qingshan Sect were waiting for Xiang Que to come over.
Coincidentally, people from the Qingyun Sect were also there.
There was another team, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion also ran into them.
Normally, it takes about 20 days to get to Tianchi Mountain Cave from Mashan City, but there is a waterway in between. If you take a boat, it will shorten the time by about seven or eight days.
Some people may ask, since they can fly with swords, why don't they just fly there, traveling thousands of miles in a day, maybe ten days or so, wouldn't it be very fast?
If you ask the gods above, you can wield a sword, but what kind of terrain and conditions will you score? Except for the relatively flat terrain of the major cities in Dongtian Paradise, most of the rest of the places are famous mountains and rivers with only a few grassland areas. Some mountains have a height of three thousand.
There are even higher ones like five thousand, and then you may have to fly around the mountain, which will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical strength and energy.
Furthermore, no one knows what kind of dangers may be hidden in the famous mountains and rivers, such as various ferocious beasts that rarely appear in the world but are quite powerful.
Also, wielding a sword requires physical strength and energy. After you have been flying wildly for a day, your energy and blood will be almost exhausted. If someone comes to kill you at this time, I am afraid that you will immediately become a waiting person.
It's a lamb to the slaughter. The key is that most people still have to carry some supplies and items with them. This load is also a loss.
Therefore, if you are in a hurry, you should basically choose a way that does not consume physical energy, and then move with the sword without interruption. After all, saving time and preventing loss of life are more important.
This trip to Qingshan, Qingyun and Mashan City, the first third of the journey is to choose the waterway first, then abandon the ship and go again. Fly when it is time to fly. If not, rely on two legs.
When Xiang Que and Tan Xiaolou came out of the west gate, they saw Qingshan and Qingyun facing each other far away. The two sides were a bit eyeing each other, but they didn't fight. After all, there are always opportunities in Tianchi Cave and Sky. In Manshan City, they still have
Something to be wary of.
Nan Sijin is still so pretty, with a unique sense of self-admiration. When standing in the crowd, if you look over, you will definitely fall on her at a glance.
Xiang Que glanced at Nan Sijin, who was indifferent. He then looked towards the city lord's palace. A handsome young man in his thirties seemed to be the leader. Next to him stood an old man with his hands clasped together. His hair was sparse.
, his face was full of wrinkles, and he lowered his head as if he was drowsy.
"Hu Qing's son Hu Chenglong, the one next to him is the old steward of the City Lord's Mansion named Hu Zhong. We don't know what his strength is, but Hu Qing trusts him very much. Hu Zhong should be protecting his son.
After all, this is his only son," Tan Xiaolou said calmly beside Xiang Que.
When Hu Chenglong saw Xiang Que coming, he walked towards him with a smile and said: "The legendary sword type of Qingshan Sect, Xiang Que, is also Qingshan's youngest junior uncle. I have admired him for a long time."
Xiang Que sighed quietly, having become completely accustomed to the way a stranger would open his mouth after seeing him: "Hello, Young City Master..."
Hu Chenglong said: "My father admires you very much. Before I left, he specifically told me that this time I will go to Tianchi Mountain Cave Heaven. I wonder if Qingshan and the City Lord's Mansion can go together. I also hope to have this honor."
Xiang Que and the people from the Qingshan Sect were shocked. The other party's request was quite interesting. Why?
I believe that all the forces in Mashan City are aware of the harsh words that the Gale Bandits put down. It is a long way to Tianchi Mountain, and no one knows if there will be any accidents along the way. If the other party still wants to go with them, wait until Gale
If the thieves really came out to intercept and kill Xiang Que, could they stand by and watch?
However, after thinking about it for a while, Xiang Que probably understood that this should be Hu Qing showing his favor to him. After all, the Gale Bandit tried to kill him twice within the confines of Mashan City, but the city lord's palace did not catch a single figure of the opponent.
No matter how you look at it, this makes sense.
Xiang Que smiled and said: "If the young city lord is not afraid of trouble, I don't mind."
Hu Chenglong nodded and said: "The main reason is that I also want to get close to Brother Xiang..."
The people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Qingshan Sect gathered together, and the team suddenly grew. There were about twenty people from the City Lord's Mansion, and the Qingshan Sect was also over fifty.
From the beginning to the end, no one from Qingyun had any interaction with them. At most, they only glanced at him. Qingyun's disciples looked at Xiang Que in a very unfriendly way, because he single-handedly held the whole ceremony together during the Qingyun Ceremony.
It's not very pleasant to have them all mixed up. It's considered a great shame and humiliation by Qingyun's disciples. Naturally, he doesn't have any good intentions.
As for Nan Sijin, he didn't even look at her.
There were three large boats parked next to the Chaotian River. They belonged to Qingshan, Qingyun and City Lord's Mansion. The three parties each boarded the boats and set sail not long after.
When the three ships left the dock, about twenty figures walked out of the mountains and forests on the shore. They were all dressed in the same uniform and walked with a strong wind.
"Sir, Xiang Que from the Qingshan Sect is with the people from the City Lord's Mansion. I'm afraid..."
A man with a beard said calmly: "It's okay. There are still a few days on the waterway. We can see the opportunity. If it doesn't work, wait until they come down from the Chaotian River. The journey is long, but there is always an opportunity. In Mashan City,
The City Lord's Mansion has the final say. Who knows them outside Mashan Cave? Do you think other things are more important than your own life?"
"Then we can only go ahead and wait for them on the way?"
"Let them tighten their nerves for the first two days, and wait until they are too tight and need to relax..."
Three large boats were traveling upstream of the Chaotian River. Xiang Que stood on the bow and looked into the distance, thinking about something.
On another boat, not far from here, about ten meters away, Nan Sijin was also lying on the railing and looking at the water, not knowing what he was thinking.
