The subsequent cleaning of the battlefield took Chai Yan and the four of them nearly an hour.
During this period, all the butterfly darts were recovered, and everyone also obtained a lot of money and items.
But the one who gained the most was Shangguan Peining. With Chai Yan's help, the amount of blood Shangguan Peining obtained was enough for her to use for half a year.
Jimo Qiao saw that the time had been delayed for a long time, so he urged: "Brother-in-law, leave quickly, or it will be dark soon."
"Dark?" Cheng Jiu heard on the side and couldn't help but look up at the sky and wondered: "What time of day is this? It's still early before dark."
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "It's already early, doesn't it take time to rush? We are only halfway to Jubao Town."
Chai Yan knew that Jimo Qiao was afraid of encountering wolves after dark, so he smiled slightly and said: "It's been a long delay, it's time to set off."
Jimo Qiao was so happy that he immediately ran to lead his horse.
Cheng Jiu walked up to Chai Yan and asked, "Sir, what should I do with these horses belonging to the horse bandits?"
Chai Yan briefly counted the number of horses and said: "Take them all away, pack them up and sell them together in Jubao Town. It should be a good income."
"My lord is right." Cheng Jiu nodded.
After saying that, Cheng Jiu ran to Yu Tie's side, and the two began to gather the horses around.
When Jimo Qiao saw this, he asked: "Brother-in-law, if we take these horses with us, won't we be very slow?"
Chai Yan asked, "What should we do? Leave them all here, let the escaped horse bandits ride away again, and then continue to harm the people?"
"Of course it won't work." Jimo Qiao blurted out.
Chai Yan said: "So we have to get rid of them. Besides, there are wolves when it gets dark. If those horse bandits don't come back, won't these horses be feeding the wolves in vain? Can you bear it?"
"No." Jimo Qiao shook his head, and then said: "Then I still have to listen to you and take him away."
Chai Yan immediately nodded and said happily: "That's right."
More than a quarter of an hour later, Chai Yan and the others finally gathered all the horses and continued towards Jubao Town.
The four men of Chai Yan drove dozens of horses together. At first glance, if you didn't know better, you would think that they were horse herders.
But once you see the Taoist attire of the four people clearly, you will be confused again.
Because there were too many horses, the speed of Chai Yan and the others was indeed affected. Until the evening, they had not seen the shadow of Jubao Town.
Seeing that it was getting dark soon, Jimo Qiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he couldn't help but urge everyone to speed up.
An hour later, it finally got dark...
"Ouch——"
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from somewhere in the distance.
Jimo Qiao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly became excited and turned around with a startled look on his face: "Brother-in-law, did you hear that? It's a wolf!"
Chai Yan glanced at the direction where the wolf howl came from and said indifferently: "Ah, I heard it, what's wrong?"
Jimo Qiao said anxiously: "You have heard this and why don't you leave quickly? What will you do if the wolf comes soon?"
"We are not afraid of so many horse bandits, so why are we afraid of wolves?" Chai Yan asked.
"I..." Jimo Qiao was speechless.
At this time, Cheng Jiu suddenly pointed forward and said, "Sir, look, there is a light ahead. Has Jubao Town arrived?"
Chai Yan immediately straightened up and looked over. Sure enough, there were some firelights flickering, but he couldn't be sure that Jubao Town was in front of him.
"I hope so." After Chai Yan said this, he ordered everyone to speed up.
The light looked very close, but in fact it was quite far away. The four of them drove the horses for half an hour before they arrived at the source of the light.
"Great, we finally arrived at Jubao Town." Jimo Qiao shouted happily.
The happiest person was undoubtedly Jimo Qiao, because the three words "Jubao Town" were engraved on a big stone in front of the town.
Chai Yan shook his head and deliberately joked: "These wolves are too stubborn. Why didn't you start earlier? Now you won't be able to eat fresh and delicious fairy meat."
Jimo Qiao was not happy to hear this and said angrily: "Huh, boring!"
After joking, the four of them drove their horses towards the town. It was already past Xu o'clock, and most of the shops in the town were already closed.
Chai Yan and the four of them walked all the way and finally found an inn that was still open.
After Chai Yan dismounted and walked into the inn, the innkeeper immediately greeted him.
"Does the immortal want to stay in a hotel? Our rooms are very clean, and the immortal can be satisfied with the care." The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically.
"Of course I have to stay in the hotel, but there is still another problem. I don't know if the shopkeeper can solve it." Chai Yan said.
The shopkeeper asked seriously: "What's the problem? Please tell me, Mr. Immortal."
Chai Yan took the innkeeper out of the inn, pointed to a large group of horses outside, and said: "Not only are we staying in the inn, but this large group of horses also need to stay in the inn. Boss, can your stables accommodate it?"
"Is this... so much?"
The shopkeeper was obviously a little surprised and surprised that four Taoists, three men and one woman, brought such a large group of horses.
The shopkeeper said: "To be honest with you, the stable of the shop is not very big, it can barely accommodate half of the horses..."
Chai Yan thought for a while and then said: "Shopkeeper, if you can't save so many horses, why don't you help introduce a horse dealer? Pindao plans to sell all these horses."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled happily: "Exian, you should have told me earlier! I happen to know a horse dealer. Just wait, I will ask the clerk to call him over. Just wait, he will be here soon...
....”
Chai Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll help the shopkeeper."
The next moment, the shopkeeper turned around and went back to the inn, sending a boy running to call for people.
Not long after, the boy brought back a man, who was the horse dealer the shopkeeper mentioned.
After Chai Yan had a brief chat with the horse dealer, the horse dealer lit a torch and began to inspect the horse seriously.
But after the horse dealer saw several horses in a row, the look on his face was wrong.
The horse dealer came to Du Chaiyan holding a torch and asked cautiously: "Master Immortal, may I ask, where did you... get these horses?"
Chai Yan smiled calmly and asked: "It's just a poor man selling his horse. Do you still need to answer these questions?"
The horse dealer frowned and said with a troubled expression: "Chief Immortal, to tell you the truth, these horses... I... I don't dare to accept them..."
"Don't you dare accept it? How can you say this?" Chai Yan suddenly looked serious.
The horse dealer brought Chai Yan to a horse, pointed to a less conspicuous mark on the horse and said, "Exian, have you seen this mark? What does it mean? This means that it belongs to Zhang Shui's group.
horse......"
With that said, the horse dealer pulled Chai Yan to another horse, pointed to another mark on the horse and said: "This mark is used by Zhawang's group... Immortal Chang, Ma
How dare I take the bandits' horses?"
After saying these words, the horse dealer gave the lighted torch to the shopkeeper and ran away without looking back.
"Hey, don't leave yet, just listen to me..."
Chai Yan wanted to stop the horse dealer, but the horse dealer ran faster.
At this time, the shopkeeper held a torch and walked over to the horses to check, and exclaimed: "Chief Immortal, these are really the horses of the horse bandits, how could...how could they be here?"
Chai Yan was thinking about whether to tell the story about killing the horse bandits when he heard Jimo Qiao say: "What's weird? If we kill the horse bandits, their horses will naturally belong to us!"
"What...what!" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. He held up the torch and stood there with his eyes wide open.
