Lu Chen laughed loudly: "No problem, don't worry, housekeeper, no flies can fly in with us here!"
"Please!" The housekeeper thanked him, turned around and led Jia Qing up to the second floor.
"You should go to bed early!" Lu Chen politely bowed his hand.
After the housekeeper walked up to the second floor, he asked Jia Qing: "Where is your brother? Why is no one seen?"
"How do I know!" Jia Qing murmured, turned around and entered his guest room.
"Hey, this girl!" the housekeeper sighed softly.
At the same time, in a hidden courtyard at the east end of the town of Iron Imperial City, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Creak!" I heard a sound in the courtyard, and the wing inside was opened. The people inside shouted quietly to the outside: "Here, come in quickly!"
The man in black was stunned when he heard the sound, walked in quickly, and closed the door behind his back.
"How's the intelligence gathering going?" In the dark side room, a short old man asked in a low voice.
The man in black said: "I saw their route map. In three days, the convoy will pass through Tiedao Gorge, and we can start there!"
"Are there any experts in the team this time?" the short old man asked.
The man in black thought for a moment and said, "Jia Tianpeng is surrounded by eighteen Zen lamas. Among the accompanying disciples of the Sword Sect, there is also a man named Lu Chen. You need to be careful. Don't pay too much attention to the rest!"
"Zen lama? This is a bit troublesome. It seems that we need to use some ruthless methods!" The short old man nodded and said thoughtfully.
The man in black reminded: "These guys are really difficult to deal with. I advise you to be careful!"
"Well, you did a good job this time. I will send a letter to Sun Hu and Sun Bao to let them prepare in advance!" the short old man praised.
The man in black said in a serious tone: "Remember, after everything is done, don't forget my share!"
"Of course, my master is as rich as the country, so why would he care about your little money!" The short old man looked a little disdainful.
The man in black sighed softly: "That's good. If I can get this property, it will be worth my efforts. I hope my father won't blame me!"
"Jia Tianpeng is ready to give it a try this time. He has brought so much property back and is determined to compete for the position of the head of the family. Unfortunately, the master will not let him succeed easily!" The short old man lowered his head and thought.
The man in black said: "The matter has come to an end. It's up to you. I'll take my leave first!"
"Wait a minute, I want to remind you that the success of this mission depends on your performance. If you can coordinate the inside and outside, that would be the best!" The short old man remembered something, turned around and reminded again.
The man in black frowned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I know, I will be there when you need me!"
"Well, you go ahead!" The short old man opened the door and left directly.
The man in black hesitated for a moment, walked out of the room, jumped onto the roof, and flew directly out of the courtyard.
The convoy set off just after dawn the next day. Perhaps because of a sneak attack last night, the steward did not dare to let the convoy stay in the Iron Imperial City for a long time.
In the early morning, there was still a lot of snow on the official road. Most of the trees on the roadside were withered and withered, and snow was piled on many dead branches. When the cold wind blew, it fell down in great numbers.
The speed of the convoy was relatively slow. Lu Chen and a group of people followed behind, walking forward unhurriedly. The one closest to them
There are three to four hundred miles to the town. Judging from today's speed, we should not be able to reach it.
Near noon, the convoy traveled more than a hundred miles and stopped to prepare for a rest.
Jia Tianpeng actually enjoyed his life. He also brought a chef and a maid with him, and he made a fire directly on the roadside to cook. After a while, the aroma of the food spread throughout the convoy.
Lu Chen and the Jianzong disciples could only eat cold and hard pancakes. This stuff was still hot in the morning and was harder than a rock at noon. They could only put it on the fire to heat it up a little, and while eating, they grabbed a handful of snow and put it in their mouths.
Rise.
"Lu Chen, eat this!" Han Wenqing quietly came to Lu Chen and handed him a leather bag.
Lu Chen joked: "What the hell, sneaky!"
"Don't make any noise, just eat it!" Han Wenqing hissed.
Lu Chen took the leather bag and opened it, "Hey guys, Han Wenqing is a good guy. He brought beef jerky with him and it's still hot!"
He looked around and found that Senior Sister Murong was also chewing pancakes. Judging from her uncomfortable expression, it was obvious that she couldn't swallow the food.
"Sister, eat this!" Lu Chen came to Murong Ziyun and handed the leather bag to him.
"What?" Murong Ziyun asked doubtfully.
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, turned and walked away.
Murong Ziyun opened the leather bag and took a look, and found that there was actually hot beef jerky inside. It was not easy to eat some of this in this cold weather. Her cold and pretty face looked like melted ice water, revealing a faint smile.
: "This guy doesn't know how to eat some himself!"
After resting for half an hour at noon, the team continued on the road. The road was calm and there was no mistake. It was getting close to night.
The convoy stopped at the foot of a mountain. The people and horses were exhausted, and there was still a long way to go to the next city. They could not continue on their way, so the steward had to let everyone sleep here.
Lu Chen did not object to the steward's decision. After all, we are all human beings. After a day, everyone must have consumed a lot of energy and needed to recharge. He immediately ordered the Sword Sect disciples to get some dry firewood and set up camp on the spot.
The green night fell, and the cold wind began to howl.
Several bonfires were raised at the foot of the mountain. There were a group of people from the Jia Tianpeng family and a group of disciples from the Sword Sect. They were clearly separated from each other and no one disturbed the other.
Lu Chen had nothing to do, so he walked to an empty place and started practicing his sword.
The master led him in. Cultivation depends on the individual. If you want to make progress, you must not slack off. Lu Chen always told himself in his heart.
Lu Chen stood in the snowdrift, holding a soft sword in his hand, closing his eyes tightly, feeling the cold wind blowing in his face, and his mind was at peace.
Brush, suddenly the sword moved.
Like a silver dragon flying in the snow, the shadow of the sword is misty, and a gust of wind and snow is flying in the air.
The soft sword fluttered, light and beautiful, sometimes hissing, sometimes turning into a line of green light that shuttled through the flying snow. It looked beautiful and moving, but in fact it was vicious and fierce.
When many Sword Sect disciples heard the commotion, they stood up and gathered around, admiring the leader's sword skills with great interest and talking about it.
"Senior Brother Lu's swordsmanship is really amazing, it's beyond compare!"
"Of course, this is a peerless genius who has risen rapidly in our Sword Sect!"
"If I could be as powerful as him, I would be satisfied!"
At this time, two people from Jia Tianpeng's group came over, two brothers and sisters, Jia Tao and Jia Qing.
"Oh, I'm pretty good at swordsmanship, but it's a pity that it's just beautiful!" Jia Qing folded his arms and stood aside to comment.
Lu Chen stopped practicing swordsmanship, turned around and looked over, laughing dumbly: "Miss Jia, my swordsmanship is more than just beautiful!"
"Oh, so you think your swordsmanship is very powerful! Then let me ask you a question?" Jia Qing's pretty face had a look of contempt.
Lu Chen said gently: "What do you want to know?"
"How old are you this year?" Jia Qing asked.
"twenty one!"
"You are as old as my brother. Since you are so powerful, have you ever been on the Hidden Dragon List?" Jia Qing Yangzhou said with a proud look on his face.
Lu Chen was stunned and said with a faint smile: "No, I haven't thought about that yet. If I want to be on the Qianlong List, I must be in the top ten of the Qianlong List!"
"What a shame!" Jia Qing mocked, thinking that Lu Chen was bragging.
"You can think whatever you like!" Lu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to her. Being disturbed by others, he was not in the mood to practice swordsmanship, so he turned around and walked towards the camp.
Jia Qing sarcastically said: "Humph, don't put your nose in the pig's nose to fill it with garlic. If you don't have the ability, you have no ability!"
When the surrounding Sword Sect disciples heard this, they immediately showed displeasure. Of course they knew how much Lu Chen was capable, and they had always regarded him as their pride, but now that he was looked down upon by outsiders, they were inevitably a little unhappy.
Jia Qing's tone was too harsh. Lu Chen had already tolerated her to the limit. He stopped, turned around and asked coldly: "You think I'm lying, should I prove it to you?"
"Of course, if you have the ability to compete with my brother, he is a super genius ranked 37th on the Hidden Dragon List!" Jia Qing hugged his elder brother Jia Tao's arm and said proudly.
"Your brother?" Lu Chen looked at Jia Tao.
Jia Tao laughed quickly and said: "Brother Lu, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, this girl is afraid that the world will not be in chaos!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he turned around and left.
"Hey, someone is scared and wants to be a coward!" Jia Qing was still mocking not far away.
Lu Chen was very annoyed. Someone was taunting him all day long, which made everyone unhappy. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said to Jia Tao: "Brother Jia, I heard that you are on the Qianlong List."
A peerless genius, Lu has some technical itch, we might as well compete, since it’s still early, let’s just stretch our muscles!”
Jia Tao was stunned, then suddenly smiled bitterly, turned around and glared at his younger sister Jia Qing, this girl really loves to cause trouble, so this time, Lu Chen was irritated.
"Brother Lu, let's forget it! The sword has no eyes, so I'm afraid of hurting you!" Jia Tao waved his hand.
"Afraid of hurting me?" Lu Chen was a little surprised. Jia Tao, who was very confident in his own strength, dared to speak in such a tone. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Brother Jia is very confident, so Lu is even more confident.
I want to ask for advice, I also want to see the strength of those geniuses on the Qianlong List!"
"Brother, just take action and teach this ignorant boy a lesson!" Jia Qing kept fanning the flames.
