Compared to the last trip to Shahe Town, this time it was much faster. Don’t look at the clouds, the Zhu family’s team had a large number of people, but the speed was extremely fast. It only took two days for everyone to arrive at Shahe Town.
The road to the wild forest is sparsely populated, but it becomes lively when you arrive at Shahe Town. It is an ordinary town. From the moment you enter the village, you can see all kinds of warriors wandering around. Some are fierce and some are taciturn. As for the residents of Shahe Town,
The shops and inns are already overcrowded. On the flat gravel road at the entrance of the village, warriors wearing Ming private army uniforms line up to maintain law and order from time to time. Most of those warriors are wandering warriors who came to try their luck after hearing about Taixuanzang.
They simply found a few similarly lonely warriors to form an alliance on the spot and formed a long team, which invigorated the economy of Shahe Town. Ordinary people carried home-steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. and started small businesses, hawking noisily.
There were sounds and noises, making the small town as lively as the Chinese New Year.
"The fourteen forces also have spies in Shahe Town, but most of them are fast horses who are responsible for delivering messages. It is actually still a hundred miles away from Shayuguan in the Henghai Desert. A large-scale operation like this is unprecedented.
It is impossible for the aristocratic family to disturb the common people of Li, so most of their troops are stationed in Shayuguan." Zhu Yeqing introduced as he walked, and it can be heard from his low and solemn tone that Zhu Yeqing is now waiting for war.
Always be alert to changes in the surrounding environment.
Needless to say, how powerful the fourteen forces are. For the sake of the treasure, this move may lead to a large-scale chaos at any time. By then, it will be easy to shed a river of blood. It is very possible to accidentally destroy all the information of the entire family.
Explain here.
"Then shall we continue walking?" Feng Jueyu asked.
Zhu Yeqing shook his head, his eyes lingering on Yunzhong Long not far away: "We discussed it when we came here. According to the report from the spies, there seems to be a sandstorm tonight. Even if we rush to Shayuguan, we will not be able to find an oasis.
, let’s rest here for one night and set off again at midnight.”
The hundred-mile journey only takes an hour by foot. It was already dawn when we arrived at the fourth watch. A few people discussed and settled in Shahe Town. The common people saw so many warriors stationed in Shahe Town. How could they not panic?
The house owners vacated their rooms, and most of the warriors took up residence in the courtyard.
The Yun family also has its own property in Shahe Town. Yun Zhonglong's residence is naturally more luxurious. As the eldest son of the Yun family, it is not a problem to find a place to live. With everything arranged properly, Yun Zhonglong came over: "Master Feng,
follow me."
Feng Jueyu really didn't bring many people with him this time. Those who had the strength to stir up trouble in the Taixuan Secret Clan. Counting Yu Shuai's old men, there was only Gongyang Yu. The old man was still on the way and had already said hello before.
Next, there is Yao Wansha's gold medal mission. Yun Zhonglong cannot let him out of his sight. Regarding this, Zhu Yeqing also agrees with Feng Jueyu to follow Yun Zhonglong, although he knows that this kid went crazy to compete with Huaxin Sword.
It was much scarier, but sometimes it was a good thing not to take action himself, so Feng Jueyu followed Yun Zhonglong to live in a large house purchased by the Yun family in Shahe Town.
No one knew that the moment Feng Jueyu entered Shahe Town, he was actually being targeted.
…
Darkness has fallen, and the nights in Shahe Town are much hotter than those in the hinterlands of other continents. Many wandering warriors like to live in open places without roof tiles to cover their heads. This is the case in He Hongshan, Luo Di, and Dou Qing.
Since the last time they were hired by Feng Jueyu, the three of them joined Chen Xiuhong of the Chen family in Muyun Mansion, and they have officially withdrawn from the martial arts hall. However, I don’t know what kind of bad luck they have recently. After returning, they originally had millions
The task of collecting two taels of silver was finally abandoned due to the disappearance of their employer Feng Dashan. He Hongshan and the others knew that they had suffered a big loss. Even though they knew where Feng Jueyu was, they did not have the courage to recover the remaining balance.
It's settled.
After all, they didn't dare to have any resentment. After all, that boy was too powerful. He was in the divine martial realm at a young age. He could defeat behemoths like barbarian apes. They didn't want to risk their lives for some money.
.Forget it if they can't get the money back, but fortunately they got in touch with Chen Xiuhong, who also agreed to join the Chen family of Muyun Prefecture.
Seeing that the good days of Keqing were coming, He Hongshan and the other two spared no effort to dig out the Taixuan secrets for the Chen family. Little did they know that what awaited them was not a bright future, but a narrow escape from death.
The Chen family was the first to discover the Taixuan secrets. The three of them followed Chen Xiuhong and became the vanguard and pawns in the excavation of the secrets. Originally, they only had to open the secrets to create a shortcut for the Chen family's private army, which would be regarded as a great achievement. Unexpectedly, their actions that day were almost impossible.
He put the lives of three of his own people in it.
The entire operation can be described as a narrow escape, and it ended with an escape. In one operation, Chen Xiuhong lost his life in countless mechanisms hidden in the Taixuan Secret. A master of perfect Tianwu died like this, if not for it.
He Hongshan and the other two managed to escape quickly. I'm afraid there wasn't even a single survivor among the Chen family's team that day. Even so, the three of them still suffered some injuries and had to rest in Shahe Town for more than half a month before they recovered.
In the next half month, the three of them were extremely depressed. The martial arts hall withdrew, and Chen Xiuhong's people died completely. The so-called promise to introduce him to the Chen family became empty talk with Chen Xiuhong's death. In the end, the three of them were completely defeated.
Completely restored his identity as a wandering warrior.
But today, a piece of good news cheered He Hongshan up: It turned out that an old friend of the Yanwu Hall sent a message that the Yanwu Hall had recently issued a gold medal mission, killing a person, and the reward was a second-grade Bai Yan martial arts.
Hearing the news, He Hongshan almost jumped out of bed and couldn't wait to join this operation.
In fact, they were no longer qualified to accept tasks in the martial arts hall. Fortunately, the old friend said that for this task, someone hired several Tianwu realm masters. They were afraid that they would not be able to complete it, so they temporarily organized an assassination team.
Regardless of whether it is an assassination team or something else, Bai Yan's second-grade martial arts is a treasure that many warriors dream of, and it is worth it even if they risk their lives.
At nightfall, He Hongshan and the other three came to a private house. The walls of this small courtyard built with earthen walls were not high enough. When you raised your head, you could see the outside of the wall. It couldn't be more ordinary. Fortunately, the house was located in the west of Shahe Town.
On the other hand, no one pays attention to it, so there is no need to keep it secret or not.
Wearing the prepared black scarves on their faces, since it was introduced by an old friend and it was an assassination activity, He Hongshan and the other three paid great attention to concealing the identities of the three of them, in order to avoid being recognized and provoked by others after the incident was completed.
Previous trouble.
Entering the house, He Hongshan and the others were initially very happy, but when they entered the hospital, they were stunned.
I just heard that in the courtyard, there were five or six good Tianwu brothers who were masked like them, ranging from Tianwu beginners to perfect ones. What kind of task actually requires so many masters?
The three of them looked at each other without saying a word. They took out the tokens that their old friends had specially prepared for them for the meeting, and found a corner to sit down.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely heavy. Everyone was silent and waited quietly.
At this time, a short old man wearing a black scarf came over, nodded in front of He Hongshan and the others, and lowered his voice: "Brother He, Brother Luo."
"Brother Ma!"
He Hongshan immediately recognized this old man as the organizer of the assassination team. Ma Tenghu turned out to be a member of the Yanwu Hall, but he disappeared for a while, but He Hongshan and the others did not know where he was.
He Hongshan looked around the yard with his six senses, and asked softly: "Brother Ma, what task requires so many people, and they are all top-notch experts? Is there any danger?"
Ma Tenghu made a hissing gesture, pulled He Hongshan and the others aside, and whispered: "To be honest, the mission itself is not very dangerous. The goal of cultivation is to reach the Xuanwu realm, but this goal is protected by a master.
And you should know that since it is a gold medal mission, many people have accepted it, so we must seize the opportunity to complete the mission. Do you understand what I am saying?"
He Hongshan was too familiar with this routine. He frowned when he heard this: "Brother Ma means that others are cannon fodder, and we are the real trump card?"
Ma Tenghu nodded casually: "Brother He, we are old friends. I won't hide it from you. This time, the employer secretly recruited everyone for the task. The people who came here have extraordinary cultivation. The employer said that he
I threw a lot of money into the gold medal mission, and I also took out a second-grade White Flame martial arts book, so I don’t want to make any mistakes in the mission.”
Luo Di quickly received the message: "That's natural. A perfect Xuanwu realm is not a problem at all. Is there someone responsible for diverting the master who is protecting him this time?"
Ma Tenghu: "That's roughly what it means. Anyway, just stay here for a while. The three of you must also know the rules. Since you can't leave without completing the task, you three must be aggrieved first."
"Brother Ma, you're welcome." He Hongshan's face was full of gratitude. After all, it was a second-grade martial arts book of White Flame. Who wouldn't want to get it? If there was such a good thing in the past, it would be difficult for anyone to take out the reward for the mission.
Sharing it with others made He Hongshan very touched by Ma Tenghu's generosity.
But He Hongshan also understood that even if the target of the mission was weak and allowed his employer to mobilize nearly ten Tianwu masters to organize an assassination team, this mission would never be as easy as Ma Teng said. He might be a child of a noble family or an important figure.
.
What followed was a long wait, but luckily it didn't last too long. When the depressive atmosphere in the courtyard reached its peak, a masked man who looked like a fat pig walked out.
