"Second brother, we are both blinded," the woman in green shirt on the official road said with a chuckle: "That young man's fists and kicks are not as good as yours."
The broken-knife man smiled bitterly and nodded: "The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I am indeed mistaken." Then he added: "Not entirely mistaken, at least his servant really stabbed his hand."
"Can the second brother beat him?" The woman in green shirt asked curiously, and the man with a broken sword thought for a while: "He practices internal martial arts, and at least he is not inferior to me in terms of fists and kicks."
The woman in green took a breath: "It's strange that there are two masters in the world of Jianghu, a master and a servant, but their reputations are not well-known."
"Perhaps it's his first time in the world. I didn't see that guy shouting to protect his family wherever he goes. He wants to make a name for himself in the world." The broken-knife man laughed.
"What's his name?" The woman in green raised her eyebrows.
"What is black and white and impermanent? Chang, Chang Dong seems to be here." The man with the broken knife said casually, suddenly excited, he reached out and grabbed the reins of the woman in green. When the woman in green saw this, she said: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Capital! Black and white are impermanent. Chang Donglai, his surname is Chang, there is a Dong on the sign...or something?" The man with the broken sword became sharp in his eyes: "It can't be such a coincidence, it's far away in the horizon, but it's so close.
In front of you!"
Chang Yu guessed wrong. This man was not illiterate, but he could only read a few words. At a glance, he did see the words on the sign, but he only recognized the word "东".
The woman in green also looked horrified after hearing this: "Second brother, it can't be such a coincidence. Just by looking at the word "东" on a brand, you may not be able to determine anything. Many amulets have the word "东" on them, such as "Fu Ru Dong Hai" and so on.
of".
"Coming from the capital, black and white are impermanent. That person is called a butcher by the government and the public, and he is like a demon seeking life. He is not the same as black and white. He also has the same surname, and his kung fu is good. That person's boxing and kicking skills are said to be the best in the imperial city. These are not enough.
"What?" The more the man with the broken knife thought about it, the more he felt that he had not run away.
The green-clothed woman's eyes widened, but she still had doubts: "If it were him, why would he be wandering around the rivers and lakes alone, and even wandering here?"
The broken-knife man thought for a while: "The people from Dongzong followed him all the way south a month ago, and then lost them in Yanzhou Mansion, but he suddenly appeared in Tongguan. He must be repeating his old tricks. As for whether he is alone,
It’s hard to tell, and we didn’t pay attention to whether anyone was following us secretly.”
The woman in green frowned: "Then it's not a coincidence that he met us, but..."
Use yourself as bait!
The two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but look around. They were constantly traveling on the official road, looking at everyone suspicious.
In fact, Chang Yu had been caught following the two of them at that time, but he thought he was just a young man who had just entered the world and wanted to make friends with women in the world. Thinking about it now, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
But I carefully recalled all the details of the two meetings, but there was no flaw. He was just a fool. Could it be that that person's acting skills were too good?
………………
After eating and drinking and selling some dry food, Chang Yu and the two left the town. Jiang Fa quietly marked the doors of several shops. To outsiders, these special marks looked like children's drawings, but in the eyes of some Dongchang fans,
But it is a secret order, and not all fans can understand it.
The two of them were in a hurry and walked all the way regardless of the heat. At dusk, they encountered a river where pedestrians were resting and drinking their horses. After asking about it, there were no villages for dozens of miles ahead. It was a barren mountain and it was easy to get lost in the dark. I suggested
They stayed here overnight and waited until dawn before leaving.
But an old Jianghu and a military veteran were not worried at all, and continued on their way after resting for a while. After all, it was cool to walk at night at this time.
Under the starry sky, the travelers ran for dozens of miles in one breath. It was late at night and the horses were tired. The surroundings were really barren mountains and wild mountains. The two of them were both talented and brave. After a brief discussion, they decided to camp on the spot. Jiang Fa went to pick up the food.
I got some dry firewood, lit a fire and burned mosquito repellent.
Naturally, setting up a fire on a hot day is not for keeping warm, but just to scare the wild beasts in the wilderness.
Chang Yu and his clothes pillowed the knife, looking at the starry sky and slowly falling asleep. Jiang Fa was holding the knife next to him and dozing against the trunk of the tree. The sounds of various wild beasts were heard from time to time in the forest not far away. The two horses were a little frightened.
Stop and circle.
In the daze, Chang Yu was shaken awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Fa making a shushing gesture to him. He knew something was going on. He turned over and looked at the dark surroundings warily, asking in a low voice what was wrong?
"We are being targeted." Jiang Fa smashed the mud with his knife to put out the fire, and then untied the horse's reins.
Chang Yu narrowed his eyes: "Could he be a path-cutting thief?"
Jiang Fa shook his head: "If it were a thief, he wouldn't be so patient and cautious." It couldn't be one of his own. If his own people wouldn't be so close, at least they wouldn't be disturbed.
Therefore, there is only one possibility, Jianghu people, or those people. Gu
But Chang Yu was confident that his identity was not exposed. Even if he was exposed, those people would not be able to follow him so quickly. They all thought that he was the governor of the East Factory and could call in spies from all over the country at any time.
But there is no need for Jianghu people to spy on themselves. Could it be that they were just passing by by chance and saw the light of fire and became curious?
"The night is long and I don't want to sleep. Why don't my friends in the dark come out and chat?" Chang Yu slowly stood up with his back against the tree trunk and said to the darkness.
In addition to the sounds of insects, there are the roars of wild beasts in the distance.
After waiting for a while, no one was seen.
Jiang Fa listened carefully for a while, then walked around the perimeter with a knife and came back: "Let's go."
Chang Yu was relieved and a little disappointed. Just when he was about to curse a few words, Jiang Fa suddenly said: "We may have been exposed."
No way, Chang Yu thinks that he has been very cautious on this journey, not to mention that no normal person would have thought that the powerful eunuch would travel around the world during such troubled times in the imperial court.
The only possibility is the man with the broken knife.
But he felt that the possibility was very low, unless the man was really literate, but he didn't look like he was literate, but Chang Yu believed in Jiang Fa's experience.
Although he was surrounded by experienced people in the world of martial arts such as Wuzhong and Sujing, Jiang Fa was the most serious and careful among them, which was the main reason why he accompanied him all the way.
"Could it be that hanging hair?" Chang Yu asked.
Jiang Fa said: "Things are not that simple."
Chang Yu was confused again.
Jiang Fa didn't give in anymore: "Even if ordinary Jianghu people find out our identities, they won't follow us, let alone spy on us. What does it mean if we spy on you?"
"It means they want to further confirm our identity," Chang Yu affirmed.
"But if we are ordinary Jianghu people, why do we need to confirm our identities?" Jiang Fa showed a sneer on his lips, and Chang Yu suddenly realized.
That man with broken swords is definitely not an ordinary Jianghu man.
As expected, Jiang Fa's previous remarks were true. How could a good-natured woman run around in the world?
So they are...
Damn it, I accidentally encountered this problem.
Chang Yu blew the fire note and lit the fire: "Do you think it was a chance encounter or a follow-up?"
Jiang Fa thought for a moment: "It should be an accidental encounter and they have not followed and spied on us before..."
"That's the flaw today." Chang Yu nodded slightly and scolded with a smile: "I didn't expect this guy to be literate, let alone those people by coincidence."
"Just in case, we have to recruit people," Jiang Fa suggested. If they were to fight alone or two against two, they were not afraid, but they were afraid that the other party would beat the crowd.
Chang Yu hummed: "I'm afraid they've started to shake people off too." He said with a cold smile: "Old Litou, you are there, there are your people all over the country."
"The centipede insect is dead but not stiff, let alone not dead yet." Jiang Fa looked solemn.
"But one thing is, he can't shake people faster than me."
