The two people, an old man and a young man, look very ordinary on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that their temperaments are slightly different from ordinary people. Although the old man's face has a trace of dusty smell, his cheeks are as rosy as those of young people.
The eyes that occasionally lingered between looking and looking were also shining brightly.
However, the old man did a good job of hiding himself. He hunched his body so that no one could see his condition. His big hand tightly held the small hand of the boy next to him. The boy looked very thin, even thinner and shorter than Zuo Feng.
Quite a few.
The young man's face was a little dirty, making him look like a little beggar, but judging from his shrewd appearance, he was not as wretched as a real beggar on the street. An old man and a young man carefully followed a group of businessmen.
Behind him, he approached the city gate slowly and unhurriedly.
The city gates here are heavily defended, and the situation is completely different from when Zuo Feng entered the city yesterday. Four teams of city guards at the city gate divided the flow of people into three rows, and each team of city guards would be responsible for checking the people leaving the city.
The other team is to control the crowd entering the city, but the inspection of the crowd entering the city is much more relaxed.
This posture is obviously only aimed at people in the city. People who enter the city are relaxed and strictly inspected when they go out. Although some people in the crowd complain from time to time, everyone also knows that it is related to the fierce battle last night. This kind of trouble is naturally not
It's easy to cause trouble, so everyone can whisper a few words in a low voice, but don't dare to really cause trouble.
The old man held the hand of the young man next to him and slowly entered the city gate. The situation on the city guard side was also clearer. Among the guards, there were also some people dressed in Jianghu costumes. In the hands of these people
Comparing several portraits with the passers-by, it seems that the purpose is very clear.
When the old man walked into the city gate, he also saw that the person in front of him was inspecting so carefully, and his eyes narrowed together unconsciously. It was impossible to retreat now, as it would look more obvious, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He took a breath and continued to move forward with the team.
At the same time, the old man let out a low cough, as if there was phlegm in his throat, and the cough was accompanied by a "snoring" sound.
When the old man coughed, several men dressed as farmers in the teams behind him and on both sides raised their heads slightly and glanced this way, then quickly lowered their heads. These people had no obvious symptoms.
The movement was just that everyone subconsciously put their hands into their arms.
With little effort, the old man and the young man had already arrived in front of the city guard. In fact, the city guard's inspection was not very careful. It was even said that they only took a cursory glance and got out of the way. However, the city guard
The people behind the army blocked the way without hesitation, took out the portraits in their hands and compared them.
The old man did not raise his head and continued to move forward unsteadily. If the people in the world did not get out of the way, they would collide with each other. The man who was holding a portrait looked at the old man approaching unsteadily and hesitated for a moment.
They still made way for the old man and the young man to pass through almost smoothly.
However, the young man next to the old man obviously did not have the magnanimity of the old man. When he saw that the old man was about to collide with him, he was frightened, anxious and frightened. He subconsciously pulled the old man's sleeve and hid behind the old man.
Originally, the man didn't pay much attention to the young man, but his dodge attracted the other's attention. The man was slightly startled, and couldn't help but look at the young man carefully, his eyes suddenly widened a bit.
Although the old man lowered his head, he seemed to be able to clearly grasp the changes in the outside world. At the same time that the man's expression changed slightly, the old man fell forward diagonally.
To outsiders, it looked like the old man was unsteady and about to fall, but an insider would immediately see that the moment the old man seemed to fall, he rushed out a few steps away. The old man and the man were not far away.
In an instant, the old man crashed into the man's arms.
At this time, the man seemed to have fully reacted. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out from his throat. The moment the old man ran into the other man's arms, the middle-aged man's body also slightly bent at the same time.
He stood up like a man bending down to lift up an old man.
If it weren't for the chaos here, I'm afraid someone would have noticed the chaos here. However, at the same time that something happened to the old man, someone in the team behind him suddenly crowded forward. Suddenly there was chaos inside the city gate, and people were cursing.
While shouts and complaints rang out, people also subconsciously pushed each other.
Looking at the old man, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and he continued to hold the hand of the young man next to him and walked forward. The young man looked frightened at this time, looking at the man constantly, and wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't.
He swallowed it back, but his eyes showed more concern for the old man.
The old man seemed to know the young man's worries, and couldn't help but turn his head and show a kind smile, which was a way of comforting the young man. Then the old man walked forward without stopping, and his pace was obviously faster.
The man who had been hit by the old man before was still standing there in a daze. It wasn't until someone bumped into the man in the crowd that he fell straight down. If you look carefully again, you will find that
The man was already dead at this time, and his face still had the look of staring eyes and mouth open.
The man fell to the ground, which suddenly caused greater chaos. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Someone has been killed. Someone has been killed. Run!"
In such a crowded crowd, there will be an extremely depressing atmosphere. People here can only vent their dissatisfaction and relieve their depressed mood by complaining.
However, when people from behind crowded forward in an unruly manner, the pent-up emotions in the crowd gradually began to explode, and some people with bad tempers began to shout and curse. As a result, the team was still in order.
, at this point it started to get confusing.
In a chaotic crowd, panic is most likely to breed. The cry of "killer" became the last fire to ignite the chaos.
Suddenly, the entire city gate was in chaos. Some people were about to walk through the city gate, and at this time they rushed forward desperately. Some people were frightened, and turned around and ran into the city in panic.
Most people were unable to know the truth immediately, but in their hearts they were considering whether the murderers were those city guards.
As a result, the entire city gate became even more chaotic. However, the city guards and the Jianghu people here had an absolute advantage in number and strength, so they did not really fall into chaos.
The old man took the young man forward through the chaos, and met the city guard who came to stop him. The moment the city guard's hand was about to touch the old man's shoulder, the old man's whole person suddenly changed. Not only
Just by straightening his body in an instant, his upright posture was fully displayed in front of everyone, and his own cultivation aura also exploded.
Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be a warrior who had reached the Qi refining stage. With such a level of cultivation, he would be a strong man no matter where he went. It was no wonder that he could conceal his aura so perfectly before.
The city guard was shocked, and the old man's slightly thin palm slowly reached out and patted his body gently.
This palm looked light and fluttery, as if trying to see the material of the city guard's clothes, but it happened that after this seemingly ordinary palm was taken, the city guard's body suddenly heard a "crackling" sound like exploding beans.
"There was a sound, and then the mouth and nose were bleeding, and the body fell to the ground as if it had lost its support.
The old man shattered the opponent's bones with just one palm strike. If Zuo Feng did it again, he would definitely feel familiar. The power of this old man's palm was somewhat similar to his Yunlang Palm.
This was the second person the old man had killed, and it seemed that the old man had no intention of hiding his identity anymore. The city guards and the gangsters all noticed this, and several people even sent out whistles to inform their companions.
The old man gave a cold "hum" and was not afraid at all when facing the many warriors in front of him. With his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, these warriors in the Muscle Tempering Stage really didn't need to be taken seriously.
The old man said loudly: "Everyone rush out with me. The high-end combat power among these people is not here. Use all your strength without mercy. We must protect the young master's smooth return."
Someone among the gangsters cursed in a low voice and said: "The person who escaped before was not this old guy. Damn it."
"Don't worry. I heard from Boss Xiao that the old man was seriously injured and there was poison on his body. We may not be his opponents now. If we let him leave like this, Boss Xiao will never let us go when he comes back.
of."
Immediately, some companions reminded him, and at the same time they all drew out their weapons, ready to fight to the death.
The old man gently brushed it on his face. It seemed that he had smeared something on his face before, but now that he wiped it off, he could see his true expression.
The old man's complexion was very bad, and he looked extremely rosy. This rosiness was not like a normal spirit, but more like the sickly redness on the cheeks of a person suffering from a high fever.
The old man and his party were relatively lucky. The city gate they chose to sneak out of was the closest gate when Zuofeng climbed over the wall to escape.
A part of the group of people responsible for guarding this place went to catch up, making the defensive strength of this city gate the weakest among all city gates.
The old man moved his fingers on his body several times, and his face improved slightly. It seemed that he had used some method to temporarily suppress the injury. Although this method can restore a certain amount of combat effectiveness in a short time, but
When injuries occur, they will be more serious than before.
The old man was desperate despite the critical situation. Although there were many warriors in front of him, there were also many companions behind him. At this time, they also rushed over through the crowd. The caravan that was attacked last night did not expect to break out of the encirclement here and now.
Yes, if Zuo Feng knew it, he would definitely snore and be unlucky.
If I had had the patience to wait a little longer, I might not be having these troubles now.
