After Hong Chen had finished speaking, Chen Tu stopped persuading him any further and just said: "Then it's settled." He then called the innkeeper to get wine and a bowl, and wanted to have a last bowl of farewell wine with Hong Chen. Hong Chen said
I asked the innkeeper if there were any idle horses in the inn, and I wanted to buy them to help Chen Tu carry the gift.
The shopkeeper Liandao Inn has a strong horse with good leg strength, but the inn still needs to use it to travel to the outskirts of the city and transport food. Chen Tu knew that he wanted to get more money, so he slapped two ingots of gold on the table. The shopkeeper saw the money.
With a smile on his face, he said it was okay, collected the gold and wine, and went to the backyard to collect the horses.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves and a loud neighing outside. Not long after, a group of well-dressed men carrying knives and swords, carrying suitcases and bags on their backs, walked into the inn, sat down on their seats, and called to the shopkeeper to serve the food.
The words were very rude. One of them said: "Shopkeeper, let the kitchen prepare more food now, and we will have other brothers come over later." These people all wore brown robes and looked like ordinary members of a rough gang.
Hong Chen's eyes swept over them, and when he looked at a few of them, his heart trembled: How could it be them?
There were nine strong men in brown robes, and three of them were armed with unusual swords, including a pair of long and short maces, a pair of iron halberds, and a pair of copper hammers. With the appearance of the three of them, Hong Chen was quite impressed. He immediately remembered that these
The three of them should be the Tianyun Three Fierce Guards of the Guiyi Division of the Dayu Kingdom in the north. They are Yuwenmeng, Yuwengang, and Yuwenyong. They have fought against him many times. But I don’t know why they changed their clothes and came to the south to cross the border.
The southernmost part of the country.
And if they come, will Luo Qinghan come too?
Chen Tu saw a look of surprise flash across Hong Chen's face. He glanced sideways at the brown-robed man, then lowered his voice and said to Hong Chen, "Do you recognize them?"
"I don't know, drink and drink."
Hong Chen knew that there were many people with profound internal skills in the purple guards, all of whom had sharp ears and eyes. He didn't want to attract the attention of those people, so he talked to Chen Tu and raised his bowl to drink.
Although time has passed, my appearance and figure have changed from a year or two ago. Even if someone sees my true face, it is difficult to recognize me again. But the Purple Guards are a group of unpredictable guys.
I have always been an enemy of martial arts people, and if they notice me, I might get into trouble.
After drinking, Hong Chen urged Chen Tu: "Let's get on the road!" Chen Tu picked up the suitcase and got up, walked through the lobby and walked to the backyard. At the table next to him, Yuwen Gang glanced at the two of them and said, "Hey,
Brother, look at that man carrying two boxes. The wooden floor creaked when he walked. The things in the boxes must weigh several hundred kilograms! What's in them?"
Before Yu Wenmeng could speak, Yu Wenyong interrupted: "I guess it's not flour."
Yuwen Gang said: "Do you need to tell me? People in the south eat rice, not noodles."
Yu Wenyong retorted: "I guess it's not flour. It's not because the south eats rice but not noodles, but because the boxes are made of iron, and grain is usually packed in gunny bags and bamboo baskets."
Yuwen Gang added: "It seems that he is going down the mountain. The things in the box must have been obtained from the mountain. Could it be jade?"
Yu Wenyong said: "I have never heard that jade is produced in Wuyang Mountain. This man may be a tomb robber. There are many tombs on Wuyang Mountain. All his boxes may be buried with him."
Yuwen Gang was shocked: "Then is it possible that he took that thing before us?"
Yu Wenmeng had been staring at the two of them with narrowed eyes since just now, and then he suddenly stood up and said: "The hero in front of you, please stay." Hong Chen pushed Chen Tu behind and whispered in his ear: "As soon as you get on the horse, leave quickly. ." Then he turned around and said, "Brother, what advice do you have?"
When Yuwenmeng saw Chen Tu walking nonstop, he walked into the backyard and said loudly: "I told you to stop!" Then he rushed forward. Hong Chen stopped in front of Yuwenmeng and said: "Brother, what are you going to do? "Yu Wen slapped Hong Chen with a fierce palm, and Hong Chen turned aside and dodged: "Brother, if you have something to say, please tell me."
"Go and catch the boy holding the box! The elixir the Heavenly Master wants may be right there with him!"
Yuwen Meng shouted loudly, and Yuwen Gang, Yu Wenyong and other strong men in brown robes drew their weapons and rushed towards the back hall. The innkeeper and the waiter were so frightened that they ducked under the counter with their heads in their hands. Hong Chen frowned. He drew the broken blade and blocked the sword: "Brother, can't you talk to me carefully if you have something to say?"
Tianyun Sanmeng and others were talking nonsense to Hong Chen. Some people came to attack Hong Chen, and some wanted to bypass Hong Chen and go to the backyard. But Hong Chen's sword skills were no longer what they used to be. He wielded the sword with all kinds of energy, not only killing all Tianyun Sanmeng. He forced them to retreat and blocked all the others in the lobby. For a while, no one could go to the backyard.
At this time, horses neighed from the backyard, and Chen Tu was already galloping. A brown-robed man rushed to the main entrance of the lobby, trying to detour to intercept him. However, Hong Chen used his volleying sword energy to cut him down to his knees several feet away, causing him to kneel down. He fell to the ground. Yuwen Gang was shocked: "The sword energy is so far away! Why is it like the 'Snow Blade Mountain Breaking Style' of the Kunlun Sect in Beihai?" Yu Wenyong immediately retorted: "You fool, if you really want to use the Snow Blade Mountain Breaking Style, Cut off the person's legs." Yuwen just nodded: "That's right, when we arrested Dai Wanshan last month, many of our brothers were broken under the Snow Blade Breaking Mountain Style, which made me scared!" Yuwen fiercely scolded: " Stop talking nonsense and pester him!"
The three of them formed a formation and worked together to besiege Hong Chen, finally creating a chance for their companions to escape. Six men in brown robes rushed to the backyard and chased Chen Tu on horseback. Hong Chen used his internal strength to pour into the blade, and the three After a round, he knocked off Yu Wenyong's bronze hammer, kicked Yu Wengang away with one kick, and knocked Yu Wen Meng away with one palm. He rushed to the backyard, cut off the reins of Trampling Snow, mounted his horse and galloped away.
The horse riding on the snow was extraordinary, and he quickly caught up with the horses of the six brown-robed men. Hong Chen raised his sword and lowered it, swiping his sword aura, tripping all the horses of those people. It didn't take much effort to catch up again. At this time, Chen Tu was carrying a box and was riding on the previous mount. A strong horse next to him was carrying another box and was panting. Although the horse that usually pulls the cart is used to carrying heavy loads, it does not Adapt to running fast.
"What are the backgrounds of those guys?" Chen Tu saw Hong Chen chasing him and knew that the pursuers would not be able to catch up for a while, so he slowed down his horse and said, "You seem to know them."
Hong Chen said: "They are from the imperial court of Yu State. I had dealings with them when I was in the north."
Chen Tu smiled and said: "Haha, but I don't have any of the 'alchemy materials' they call in my box, and with their martial arts, they can't pose any threat to us. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"The few of them can't do it, I'm afraid they have other companions nearby." Hong Chen said, "They said at the inn that someone would come over soon. It is estimated that a lot of purple guards came this time. The commander of the purple guards Luo Qinghan is a difficult person, and he is also a powerful figure among the top masters in the world. If he is here, we will be in trouble."
Chen Tu said: "Since you are scared of Na Luo Qinghan, just come with me to Golden Snake Island."
"No, I still want to stay. Jiusha Island and the Purple Guards have all come to Wuyang Mountain. It's really strange." Hong Chen shook his head and said, "Next, the Purple Guards will definitely split up. Some of them will chase you, and some of them will
Wuyang Mountain is looking for that 'elixir'. The innkeeper's horse can't help but travel a long distance, and you will be overtaken in such a hurry. How about this, you ride my Taixue instead, and go to Ma Gang as soon as possible. We will stick to the original plan.
