After going down the mountain, the two returned to the thatched house, tidied up a little, and then set off.
Before leaving, Luo Xiang specially paid homage to his parents. Having grown up here, Luo Xiang was filled with melancholy when he thought that he was about to travel to the land of Kyushu.
The place Lu Chen went to this time was Youzhou, which is close to the Far Eastern Prairie.
It's more than 1,600 miles away from where they are now. If they just walk there, with a guy like Luo Xiang, they probably won't be able to get there in half a month.
Lu Chen and Luo Xiang were walking slowly on a desolate path. Neither of them spoke on the road, as if they had a tacit understanding. Until after dark, the two of them lit up a bonfire in a valley. At this time, Luo Xiang
I couldn't help but ask the other party.
"master!"
Lu Chen looked up at the other party and smiled slightly: "You seem to have a lot of questions to ask me?"
"Yes!" Luo Xiang nodded.
Lu Chen fiddled with dry firewood and said, "If you have anything to ask, just say it. I'll let you know what I should know!"
"Master, I don't know your name yet!" Luo Xiang scratched his hair and said awkwardly.
When Lu Chen heard this, he laughed dumbly: "My name is Lu Chen!"
"Oh, I got it!" Luo Xiang nodded. He and Lu Chen had been together for nearly two months. Luo Xiang rarely cared about the other person's identity and only regarded himself as saving an ordinary person.
He didn't expect that the person he accidentally saved would quietly change his fate.
What's funny is that after the two have been together for so long, Luo Xiang still doesn't know each other's name.
If Chase Lu hadn't appeared, maybe he would still be the slovenly poor boy with muddy legs, the poor boy who wanted to work hard and change his destiny.
So Luo Xiang was very grateful to Lu Chen in his heart.
"It's not convenient to reveal my identity to you now. I will tell you when the time is right!" Lu Chen said.
Luo Xiang nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I understand!"
"Then where are we going now?"
"Youzhou!"
Lu Chen looked up at the east, his heart full of confusion. After he had his revenge, where would he go from here?
Luo Xiang looked puzzled and asked: "Where are we going and what are we doing?"
"I have something to do, please follow me for now!" Lu Chen said warmly.
"Yes!" Luo Xiang nodded, full of trust in Lu Chen. At dawn, the two set off.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long. The two of them had no horses and their progress was very slow.
When the two of them passed by a canyon by chance, they encountered a group of bandits robbing them. Luo Xiang was very nervous at the time.
Forty-five bandits surrounded them, each with a fierce look, threatening them to hand over their money. No ordinary person would be nervous after seeing such a tense scene.
Luo Xiang grew up in Luoyan Valley. Although he was often bullied and made things difficult by his classmates, at least his life was stable. He had never seen such a scene before, and he was frightened at the time.
Lu Chen looked like a down-and-out vagabond, but he struck out like lightning. The soft purple sword was like the harvest weapon of the God of Death. Wherever it went, countless purple sword shadows lit up, and the bandits fell one by one, and their corpses
Rivers of blood flowed across the fields, and the scene was very bloody.
If Luo Xiang was just shocked when he saw Lu Chen's display of strength before, this time he was completely conquered by his master's terrifying strength, and he was filled with admiration for Lu Chen in his heart.
After killing most of the bandits, some of the gangsters were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split apart. Seeing that the situation was not going well, they fled in all directions.
Lu Chen didn't care about this. Jiuzhou Continent was founded on martial arts, and the world was in turmoil. Ordinary people wanted to survive and could only rely on the blessing of some sects' strength.
But in this mountain suburb, it is the world of bandits and bandits. Therefore, when wandering in the Kyushu continent, you are most likely to encounter such bandits who block the road and rob you.
These bandits died unjustly, Lu Chen was merciless and found a lot of money on the dead bandit leader, and finally took a careful inventory.
There are more than one thousand taels of fine silver, 38,000 taels of silver notes, and some gold and silver jewelry, totaling nearly more than 40,000 taels.
"The bandits are robbing the passing merchants. I'm here to rob these bandits. The money comes quickly and it's fun!" Lu Chen looked at the puddle of gold and silver on the ground, shook his head and laughed.
Luo Xiang stood aside, his eyes dumbfounded.
He swore that he had never seen so much money in his life. The pile of money in front of him made his mouth go dry for a while.
He ordered Luo Xiang to pack up the gold and silver and head towards Youzhou again. With this money, he would not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. When he entered a nearby county, Lu Chen planned to buy two fast horses and rush on the road.
Half a day's journey, two people enter
I entered a county town called Stone City, spent some money to change my outfit, and then found a tavern for a hearty meal.
In an inn, Lu Chen gave some small pieces of silver to Luo Xiang and said, "Take this money and use it to buy some daily necessities. We still have a long journey to go!"
"Oh!" Luo Xiang nodded, took the money and went out. Lu Chen stood in front of the window, overlooking the streets of Stone City, thinking in his heart.
Youzhou is located on the northeastern border of Kyushu, with strong folk customs. It is the territory controlled by the Vulcan Sect. It is deeply rooted and powerful. As one of the eight major sects in the world, it is even more powerful in the world.
Even the spies of Seven Kills have infiltrated inside. This mysterious force seems to be weaving a web. What is the purpose behind it? Lu Chen has always been puzzled by this.
Early the next morning, Lu Chen and Luo Xiang set off, each riding a fast horse to Youzhou.
With the horses, they were much faster than walking on foot. The two of them soon left the boundary of Jizhou and arrived at the border of Yangzhou.
After driving for a long time, the journey was calm and there were no accidents. When we were rushing to a canyon that we must pass through, we happened to encounter a group of bandits robbing the caravan.
There are about two hundred people in this caravan, which is organized by some small merchants. The caravan transports many valuable goods. The place where the caravan was robbed is called Sunset Canyon, which is the only way to Youzhou. The mountain road is winding.
, the detour only requires three more days of walking. These merchants obviously did not know the complicated situation here and walked in rashly. The bandits who were ambushing near the canyon had already prepared an ambush. They pulled out a tripping rope halfway and pulled out a trip rope.
Most of the caravan's horses stumbled, and some silk, brick tea and other goods were scattered on the floor.
Immediately afterwards, a barrage of arrows shot down from the sky.
A dozen of the best guards were shot down on the spot. Blood suddenly stained the canyon red, and screams rang out one after another. Seeing this scene, the merchants in the caravan were so frightened that their faces turned pale and pale.
.
When traveling outside, the merchants were most afraid of encountering bandits. But these bandits were obviously well prepared. The caravan was already quite disorganized. At first, they were not even prepared and fell directly into the trap.
The scene was chaotic, with screams and curses mixed together.
More than a hundred bandits rode horses and rushed out of the canyon with sabers in hand. Without saying a word, they rushed into the caravan and killed them. The guards were chopped to the ground one by one by the ferocious horse thieves, unable to resist.
.
In the caravan, a young brother and sister stood in the crowd, saying nothing, looking coldly at the ruthless horse thieves.
"Brother, these are horse thieves, what should we do?" said a young woman wearing purple clothes.
Fang Tianhao was holding a long knife to protect his sister Fang Yurou. He looked at the horse thieves who were killing wantonly, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Don't worry, hide your things. When those horse thieves come over, I will cover you and you can escape!"
"Brother, how is this possible? If we have to leave, let's go together!" Fang Yurou said eagerly.
Fang Tianhao said coldly: "We are the only two left in the Fang family. That thing must not fall into the hands of outsiders. My father has told us that even if we die, we must escort that thing out of the Central Plains. Once it is captured by the eight major sects,
If people know this, the world will be in chaos!"
"But our Fang family is finished, where can we escape to?" Fang Yurou said with a sad face.
Fang Tianhao cursed in a low voice: "Why are you crying? What if the Fang family is gone? With something like this, our family will definitely have a chance to make a comeback in the future!"
"No, I want to be with my eldest brother even if I die!" Fang Yurou, with tears in her eyes, grabbed her eldest brother Fang Tianhao's arm and said with a look of reluctance. When Fang Tianhao saw his sister looking sad, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
, reached out to help wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and comforted: "Don't cry, Second Uncle and the others still have some power in Youzhou, when the time comes, you can join them!"
"No, no, brother, I'm not going anywhere!" Fang Yurou said, biting her head desperately.
Fang Tianhao's face turned cold and he shouted: "Leave quickly, the blood of the Fang family must not be ruined in our hands. If you don't leave, I will never recognize you as my sister again!"
"Brother!" Fang Yurou looked at her eldest brother Fang Tianhao and cried bitterly.
At this moment, a horse thief rushed over on a fast horse and struck hard with a broadsword.
"Let's go!" Fang Tianhao was so anxious that he pushed Fang Yurou away and jumped up. Whoosh, the cold sword light flashed away.
The horse under the horse thief had two legs cut off, and blood rose into the sky. The horse thief fell to the ground, and before he could get up, Fang Tianhao chopped off his head.
"Brother, help!"
Fang Tianhao had just killed a horse thief. When he turned around, he saw several horse thieves surrounding his sister Fang Yurou.
"Yu Rou!" Fang Tianhao was shocked and wanted to rush to rescue, but unexpectedly he was entangled by another horse thief who came to support him.
Seeing that his sister was about to be killed by a horse thief, Fang Tianhao's eyes suddenly turned red.
Not far away, Lu Chen and Luo Xiang looked at this messy scene indifferently.
"Master, they are horse thieves!" Luo Xiang said nervously. Lu Chen nodded: "Well, the horse thieves are robbing merchants. This kind of thing happens from time to time!"
"What should I do?" Luo Xiang asked, looking at the merchants who continued to fall in the caravan, the shocking scene filled his heart with pity. Lu Chen sighed; "This world is in chaos, sects are divided, and the world is in constant turmoil.
Bandits are rampant, but it is the common people who suffer! This kind of thing happens too much, and with our ability, we simply cannot control it."
"Come and help them. If something like this happens, you can't just sit back and watch!" Luo Xiang said with some indignation.
Lu Chen turned to look at him and said with a smile: "You are quite chivalrous at your young age!"
"My father said that when you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help. Aren't we learning martial arts just to protect ourselves and protect others?" Luo Xiang said. Lu Chen laughed when he heard this and said: "That's right. Although I can't control it too much, but now since
You can’t just sit back and watch if you encounter one!”
"Yes!" Luo Xiang hummed.
"Stay where you are, come as soon as you go!" Lu Chen pressed the horse's belly and urged him to rush forward.
The massacre in the caravan continued, and the horse thieves were still killing each other crazily, paying no attention to the merchants' pleas for mercy.
When a horse thief saw Lu Chen suddenly rushing toward him on the official road, he immediately raised his long knife and pointed it at him and shouted: "Guitou Village is doing business. If you don't want to die, just get out of here!"
"Humph, what a loud tone!" Lu Chen sneered and jumped into the air.
"Brush!" A flash of miserable purple sword light lit up.
Before the horse thief had time to react, he and his horse were immediately split in half.
There was a pop! Blood spilled all over the floor.
The horse thieves who were still massacring the merchants were stunned for a moment when they saw Lu Chen suddenly barging in. Then the leader of the horse thieves shouted angrily, and dozens of horse thieves turned their heads and rushed toward Lu Chen like a swarm of swarms.
"Kill him!"
Lu Chen leaped into the air and dashed into the group of horse thieves. He was like a tiger rushing into a herd of sheep and started killing in an instant.
Brush! Brush! Brush!....
Purple sword lights continued to light up, and the horse thieves seemed to be made of paper. They fell down one after another like straw. Their throats were sealed with a sword, and they died very cleanly.
A ghostly figure flickered erratically, and wherever it went, clouds of blood mist continued to explode on the horse thieves.
After killing thirty horse thieves in one breath, Lu Chen was not covered in blood, as if he were an evil god, holding a soft coiled dragon sword and frantically harvesting the lives of the horse thieves.
His body skills are fast and his sword skills are even faster. Killing these ordinary horse thieves is a piece of cake for him, effortlessly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he killed almost half of the horse thieves who came over. It was a completely one-sided trend.
Seeing this crazy scene, the leader of the horse thieves was immediately shocked. Thinking that he had met a top expert, he quickly shouted and led the remaining horse thieves to turn around and run away, quickly disappearing into the canyon without a trace.
After so many years of wandering outside, the leader of the horse thieves is also very discerning and knows who can and cannot be provoked.
Obviously, this mysterious master who suddenly appeared is the type of person who cannot be messed with.
So he chose to retreat without hesitation.
If you want to get rich, you have to live your life to enjoy it.
