Xu Yuan ran on the official road at a very fast speed. After running for almost an hour, Xu Yuan slowed down and regained his strength.
It was late afternoon, the season was still in summer, and the weather was very hot. Xu Yuan raised his head and glanced at the dazzling sun in the sky. He couldn't help but feel a little upset due to the sun's rays, and his mouth and tongue became dry.
Xu Yuan took out the water bag from his waist, opened the stopper and drank it. However, he only drank a little bit, and there was not much water left in the water bag.
"I remember there was a tea shed not far ahead. I went to drink a few bowls of tea to cool down the heat."
Xu Yuan shook his head in disappointment, then he put away the water bag and pondered in his heart. When he came here, he remembered passing a tea shed. If he remembered correctly, it should be not far ahead.
It's still only the afternoon, and with Xu Yuan's speed, there's still enough time to get back to Fenglin Town. It won't be a waste of time to drink a bowl of tea to relieve his dry mouth.
Xu Yuan calmed down and continued to rush forward.
Not long after, a small tea shed appeared on the side of the road in front of Xu Yuan.
"As expected."
Xu Yuan thought to himself and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
……
"Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of tea."
Xu Yuan came to the tea shed and sat down, asking the shopkeeper to serve him tea.
"Hello, guest."
Seeing Xu Yuan's arrival, the shopkeeper immediately welcomed him warmly.
This tea shed is relatively deserted and not big. There are only four or five tables, and only one person from the shopkeeper is running it. There is no one here at the moment, only Xu Yuan and two people from the shopkeeper are here.
After the shopkeeper finished serving the tea, Xu Yuan couldn't wait to pour himself a cup of tea, then raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
For a moment, Xu Yuan only felt cool and comfortable all over his body, and his mood improved a lot.
Afterwards, Xu Yuan poured himself a few more cups of tea and drank it.
Seeing that Xu Yuan was enjoying his drink, the shopkeeper immediately came over and asked with a smile: "Is your guest going to Qingyun City?"
A few dozen miles further along the road from their tea shed is Qingyun County, so the shopkeeper thought Xu Yuan was going to Qingyun City.
"Yeah."
Xu Yuan nodded and said nothing more.
And suddenly at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the official road in the direction of Fuan City.
After Xu Yuan and the shopkeeper heard the sound, their expressions changed and they looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw, not far away, a woman in red riding a horse rushing towards the tea shed. Her face was anxious and panicked, she looked back from time to time, and her left hand was still covering her chest.
There was blood flowing down, obviously he was injured.
Behind the woman, five men in black riding horses followed, holding sharp knives and all wearing thick masks, chasing the woman in red.
"Oh, this is the world." The shopkeeper shook his head. He had seen this kind of thing too many times. He just hoped that these people would not stop and fight in his tea shed, otherwise he would have no choice but to run for his life.
Xu Yuan also withdrew his gaze and didn't pay too much attention.
But suddenly, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something, and glanced at the five men in black who were chasing behind the man in red. Looking at their masks, Xu Yuan felt very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
Passed!
"It's those people!"
Xu Yuan's expression changed. These five people were exactly five of the seven men in black who caused a stir in front of the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce and asked Han Cheng, the vice president of the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce, to greet him personally!
Xu Yuan was sure that he was not mistaken. Their body shapes and clothing were exactly the same! It was just that there were seven men in black at that time, but now there are only five.
"Zhao Yan, hand over your things and I will spare your life!"
Among the five men in black who were chasing after them, a lean man at the head shouted violently.
Zhao Yan, the woman in red, ignored the lean man's voice and her riding speed did not slow down, but became faster and faster.
"Whoops!"
"Bang!"
At this moment, a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, tearing the air.
Among the five men in black who were chasing after him, the lean man who spoke just now sat directly on the back of the horse, took out a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, which happened to hit the thigh of the horse under Zhao Yan.
"Chirp!"
The horse's thigh was pierced by the arrow, and it let out a shrill scream. It fell forward to the ground. Zhao Yan did not expect this. He fell off the horse and rolled forward.
Covered in dust.
Zhao Yan held back a scream and looked back at the five lean men who were chasing after her. She didn't dare to hesitate at all. She held back the pain and hurriedly stood up and continued running forward.
Zhao Yan didn't dare to stop. She knew in her heart how miserable her fate would be if she was caught by the lean man and the others. But now that there was no horse, how could she outrun the lean man and the others with her two legs?
Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of despair, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and run forward. When she passed by the tea shed, she glanced subconsciously.
Her eyes first caught sight of the shopkeeper. After confirming that the shopkeeper was the owner of the tea shed, her eyes instantly moved away, and then focused on Xu Yuan sitting in the corner.
Zhao Yan looked at Xu Yuan, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to have thought of something in her heart, and did not run away again.
Soon, the five men in black on horseback caught up and came to the door of the tea shed. They jumped off their horses and surrounded the tea shed.
When the shopkeeper saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright and he was about to run away.
Among the five people, the lean man who was shooting arrows saw this and winked at the man beside him.
The man nodded and took a step forward. A knife from his sleeve slipped into his palm, and he shot it out, directly piercing the neck of the shopkeeper who was about to escape.
The lean man looked at Xu Yuan again. Seeing that Xu Yuan was still sitting where he was, with no intention of running away, he just ignored him.
"Zhao Yan, please hand over the things. There is no point in struggling anymore."
Then, the lean man looked at Zhao Yan and said coldly.
And this lean man is none other than Lu Peiwen, the fourth boss of Tiexuan Villa!
After they learned that the Zhao family had photographed Tianyang Gong, they immediately took action. Lu Peiwen had already sent people to set up an ambush outside Fu'an City, and he had six people beside him.
In the end, Lu Peiwen led a dozen people from Tiexuan Villa to ambush the Zhao family in Fu'an City, because that official road was the only way back to Qingyun City, and they were indeed ambushed.
There are only seven people in the Zhao family, headed by Zhao Guan, the third elder of the Zhao family, followed by Zhao Yan, Zhao Guan’s daughter.
Zhao Guan also did not expect that Tiexuan Villa actually knew that Tianyang Gong was taken away by them, and even set up an ambush outside Fu'an City!
In the end, the two sides had a bloody battle. On the Zhao family's side, Zhao Guan used his old life to hold Lu Peiwen down and let Zhao Yan run away with Tianyang Kung. However, not long after Zhao Yan ran away, Zhao Guan died in Lu Peiwen's hands. At that time, only Zhao Yan was left in the Zhao family, and there were eight people in Tiexuan Villa. After Lu Peiwen sent three people to stay and deal with the bodies, he led the other four people to chase Zhao Yan alone, until they came here.
at.
Although their Tiexuan Villa is not afraid of the Zhao family, the bodies still need to be disposed of.
