Before he had to walk a long road of hundreds of thousands of miles, Wei Changpan had to find a carriage and horse to travel with him. However, he was afraid that the team of escorts arranged for him by the escort agency would be targeted by the Cutelutai killers.
Wu He and the escorts of the Escorts were also implicated. Wu and the Escorts were kind to him and it was enough not to repay the kindness. How could he divert the trouble to the east?
But the south of Bingyuan City is not a safe place. A few days ago, there was news that there were scattered barbarian bandits still wandering in Jinzhou, and they robbed more than one cart and team, which made those who were originally relaxed
To save money, the owner hired many road guards and suffered heavy losses.
Wei Changpan did not dare to walk on the main road that crisscrossed Jinzhou, and he was not very familiar with the remote trails. Although it was not as difficult as the Shibawan Mountain Road in Qishan County, he was unfamiliar with the place and the danger would be great if he stayed there for a long time.
After several points, he had no choice but to identify the location and head south.
Even though the cowhide boots on his feet were lined with two thick layers, he was still so cold that he didn't feel anything. Fortunately, he was used to this feeling in the northern grasslands. The whole finger was swollen and thick and could not be bent. The purple-black flesh was covered with
It was so cold that the blisters on my hands holding the horse's reins even turned into ice.
As he trotted along a narrow path, Wei Changpan was not sure whether he had escaped the Kalutai killer. He remembered the baggage Mr. Song had given him. In addition to a change of clothes and scattered silver, there was also a map of Jinzhou, so
I almost took off the baggage and looked at it. The picture was folded into a square shape and still lying in the baggage.
"More than ten miles to the south, there is a county seat on the map. There must be carriages and horses in it..." He looked confused at the picture, "But what happened when we got to Jinzhou?"
I have never seen such a city there..."
Maybe he remembered it wrong. How could the escorts from Wuhe Escort Agency, who had been traveling around for many years, use the wrong picture?
A journey of more than ten miles is not that close in this cold weather...
He stepped up his pace, hoping to reach the county town before dark, find a small inn to stay at, rest for two hours, and then ride away.
There is still a thousand miles to go from Jinzhou to Suzhou, so he must build up his strength now.
....
Halfway through the journey, he was still thinking about the indescribably exquisite formation technique that could trap him for a long time without even realizing it, and the softness of that palm... Wei Changpan, when did you become like this?
Are you such a shameless person? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But soon the smile on his lips gradually faded, and he looked up at the sunset. He looked forward, but there was no shadow of the city in front of him. Only a few wisps of smoke seemed to tell the story of how many farmers there were scattered there. Let him
He didn't have to sleep out in the countryside on a freezing cold night, but there certainly wouldn't be a carriage or horse racing station to provide him with a large carriage or horses.
"What county town? Is there any county town within ten miles of here? The nearest one is the big city of Bingyuan City!" Some deaf old people put Wei Changpan into the house, and after listening to what he asked for directions, he replied loudly, "I have such a share in my hand.
You can't even read an expensive map, and you still end up in this village? How can you be so careless when you are away from home?"
The old man took the map and glanced at it with the help of an oil lamp, then said disgustedly, "This is our map of Jinzhou? It's right to only have one city with Yuancheng, but the rest are thousands of miles apart.
Young man, don’t give it to those shops that make money without conscience..."
"Look again, it's a baggage given by someone else's hand.
This is the map of Jinzhou, why don’t you take a closer look?”
"Don't look at it. No matter how many times you look at it, it's just a fake picture drawn casually."
The map fell to the ground, and the old man from the farmer's family still felt sorry for the young man from a foreign country. How come the businessmen in Jinzhou were so evil-hearted at the moment? He picked up the map and patted it in Wei Changpan's hand.
He took two cold stick noodle buns and stuffed them into his hands, "Jinzhou is not a small place. There is no map and no guide. It is really difficult for you, a foreigner, to travel. This year, every household does not have much food. These two
You can make do with the steamed buns. At this time of year, someone can freeze to death if you spend the night outside. Let’s make do with this house for a night. Then we will go back to Yuancheng tomorrow morning to settle the score with the person who sold the fake map.”
The two cornmeal buns were stuffed back into the old man's hands, along with a small bag of broken silver. The latter hurriedly tried to push it back, "Just give me money if you ask for directions. No one can afford such a squandering."
.”
"Then treat it as steamed money."
"What kind of steamed buns cost more than ten taels of scattered silver?" The old man laughed angrily, "Take it quickly, look at the calluses on your hands. You don't look like a child of a wealthy family. There is no reason to give away the hard-earned money to others.
.”
"I'll leave this money to you, old man. I probably won't be able to use it anymore." After saying that, Wei Changpan pressed the saber on his waist, then pushed open the door and ran out. The old man couldn't catch up after two steps, so he had to retreat.
Inside the house, the young man was equipped with a knife. He was probably going to fight and kill, so he, an old man, wasn't following behind.
The jacket he was wearing and the scabbard of the long knife were abandoned on the ground together. He should have thought that the killers from Kalutai would not let him go. The map was fake. Maybe among the company and the escort
They all had spies from Kao Lutai. There were only a few people in the Wuhen Escort Agency who knew that he was going to leave Yuancheng that very day. Even Lao Gu and his son were kept in the dark...
He didn't want to think about it further, even if he figured out who it was, what would happen.
The left hand holds the middle part of the knife handle behind its back, and the hand is ready to draw the knife.
"The elders in Taili did not use the wrong fatwa. You are worthy of the honor of being ranked as a junior." A deep sigh came from the dark night, "Wei Changpan, right? A descendant of the second generation of Zhang Family Guns and a disciple of Qian Cai.
Zhang Wu’s disciple, the only daughter of the owner of Yanyu Building, has made an engagement with you, and is inextricably linked to Wu He Escort Agency..."
"Qimen's formation skills and mechanisms failed to kill you. I would like to ask on behalf of the formation leader, where did he see the flaw and become alert? Not to mention that the formation was broken afterward, it was the formation leader himself.
Negligence." The candied haws on the straw was still there, and the tenth man from the deer-cutting platform, dressed as a hawker, stopped five feet away in front of Wei Changpan and asked, "You have ten seconds to decide whether to answer."
"That secret passage is too long. It should have reached the end after walking for more than half an hour. What's more, it was originally a secret passage used to smuggle goods in and out. There is no way it could be dug that long." Without any hesitation, Wei Changpan said calmly.
He replied, "What's more, the formation has deliberately made some rugged areas when walking. How can there be soft ground and small stones blocking the road after walking through secret passages with countless people?"
Wei Changpan's previous answer was sloppy and sloppy just to delay the situation, but now he answered simply and neatly because he knew that the killer of Gelutai in front of him was by no means a negotiable figure.
Xizi let out a breath. This boy named Wei is really a smart person, but he can only stop here. He will personally extinguish the last fire of the Zhang family in Qishan County.
As for Song Yan, the chief bodyguard of Wuhe Escort Agency,
How can the mother and daughter, who are only women, be able to succeed after being overinsured?
"Don't think about using the knife anymore. The warrior's body can support you to live for a while longer, and the flow of Qi will only make you die faster." There was no fight as Wei Changpan expected, and the killer Xizi was among the ten people in front of the deer platform.
Then he said, "Go back to Suzhou and find out the remnants of Yanyulou and Zhangjiaqiang, or those who died with all their sinews and bones corroded into dregs."
"What if I say no?"
"Then you still have ten more days to live that are worse than death. You hurt my daughter and pointed out her Qi Men's flaws. The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so you can live for another ten days before you die." Xizi turned around and left.
The next sentence was, "Letting you die miserably is the punishment we, the parents, give you."
The precious daughter of the Kalutai killers was injured by him today, and using his life to pay for it was not a heavy punishment.
He gently turned the grass handle filled with candied haws on a stick. The death order from Class A was not so urgent. He still had plenty of time to see Wei Changpan's final tragic death.
"Candied haws~big red fruit~there are so many rock candies~" With these words in her mouth softly, Xizi waved to her who was hiding in the dark.
Then the arm that was still waving was cut off completely. The bright red that spurted out from the severed arm was actually filled with colorful colors. This was the complex poison in Xizi's body, which was obtained from mineral deposits, plants, insects and snakes.
It is the means he relies on to kill people. Although it is a double-edged sword, it is extremely easy to use.
The handle of the candied haws grass that concealed poison and hidden weapons was still in his hand. As long as he could recover from being attacked, he would have a choice between fighting back or retreating.
Obviously, the colleagues who had been hiding for a long time did not give Xizi a chance to exchange old energy for new energy. After cutting off the arm holding the straw handle with another knife, Xizi, who had become a human stick, used the last bit of energy to spray
Even if he spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood, he would trade his life with this man, but the man blocked him with his coat.
However, even a small amount of the poison he had accumulated over the past decades would be troublesome to eradicate, so the man still remained quite cautious in the face of the dying Xizi, leaving half a breath of life left in preparation for a dying counterattack.
Xizi had no choice but to turn that tone into a cry that was very clear in the dark night, "Run away!"
Then Wei Changpan noticed the movement behind a low wall a hundred steps away. Needless to say, it was the killer from Gelutai Watch. The poison on his body didn't seem to be effective, so he chased after him.
He glanced back in the direction of Xizi, trying to see clearly the face of the killer who had been hiding for who knows how long.
A concealed weapon thrown with a heavy hand hit his chest, breaking the spine on his back into pieces. The killer of the ten people in front of the Cutting Platform breathed his last breath when Wei Changpan looked at him. In fact, he
It is only one level higher than Wei Changpan's martial arts realm. He is the lowest martial arts realm among the top ten people. He uses poison to kill people so that he does not have to face martial arts stronger than him, but this shortcoming will eventually come to an end.
His life.
When he saw that face clearly, he almost stumbled and fell.
The man also looked back, the corners of his mouth raised, as if he was laughing at his clumsiness.
