A crooked crescent moon hangs in the starry sky, adding a little light and style to the night. In the darkness of the night, several bonfires burned in the woods, crackling softly.

Next to the bonfire, Chu Zhen roasted the dry food over the fire and ate it in a big gulp. Beside him, sat Shen Tian'er, as well as the fourteen masters of the Lancheng Gun Pavilion.

The matter was urgent, and Chu Zhen and his party went out of the city overnight and went straight to Fenghe Town, two hundred miles east of Lancheng. Although Fenghe Town is small, it is a large grain-producing town, and it is located in the main transportation route, which is the best and closest choice for purchasing grain.

After drinking two sips of water, Shen Tian'er still had worry on her face.

Before they set off, Shen Yiping had already met with Dong Chuan, the master of the Nudaomen, and asked him to order the grain store and the gun hall under the jurisdiction of the Nudaomen to unify their voices and get through this crisis together.

Lancheng Gun Hall and Angry Knife Gate have always been unconvinced, it is rare that Shen Yiping will take the initiative to bow his head, and Dong Chuan feels comfortable. In addition, the safety of Lancheng is related to the common interests of both parties, and if there is chaos, the Angry Daomen will not be able to reap the benefits, so Dong Chuan agreed.

Although the matter has been settled, how much will the Angry Daomen do, and whether it will take the opportunity to secretly stumble on the Lancheng Gun House, no one can say for sure, so it is imperative that a large amount of food enter the city in order to calm people's hearts.

"It's almost over, let's keep going. ”

Seeing Shen Tian'er's inability to sit still, Chu Zhen immediately suggested, got up and walked forward.

"Let's go. ”

Shen Tian'er jumped up, took the silver spear and led people to follow.

"In your opinion, could this series of things be done by the Angry Daomen?"

While hurrying on the road, Chu Zhen asked.

Shen Tian'er shook her head lightly and replied, "At first, I thought so, but now it seems that it shouldn't be. Lancheng is in danger, and both the gun hall and the Angry Knife Gate will be greatly damaged, if it is really the Angry Knife Gate doing these things in secret, it will hurt the enemy by a thousand, and self-damage by eight hundred, or even die together. I don't think the Angry Knife Gate is that stupid. ”

As the situation became more and more serious, Shen Tian'er was forced to calm down and faintly discovered the strangeness.

Shen Tian'er's opinion coincided with Chu Zhen, and when Shen Tian'er told him everything that happened, he also thought that the probability of the Angry Knife Gate committing murder was very small.

Thinking back carefully to the local chronicles he had read, within a radius of three hundred miles from Lancheng, there were only Lancheng Gun Hall and Nudaomen, and there were no other sects, and there was no family power that could match them, and Chu Zhen couldn't figure out who it would be, and he dared to openly argue with these two sects.

"Then who have you offended, or have there been other forces near Lancheng?" Chu Zhen continued to ask.

Shen Tian'er thought for a while, shook her head and said: "There is no trace of other forces near Lancheng, as for offending people, we only have a holiday with the Angry Dao Sect, we don't have this mind for other people, and they don't have the ability to do this. ”

Hearing Shen Tian'er's answer, Chu Zhen couldn't help but think of Xuanyue Pavilion, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Lancheng is the same as Qifeng City, there is a powerful force lurking. ”

With the experience of Qi Fengcheng, Chu Zhen no longer fully believed in the records in the local chronicles, there were too many things secretly happening in the Yunshan Realm, and it was impossible for the Shenwu Hall to record everything.

Chu Zhen stopped asking, Shen Tian'er stopped talking, and everyone rushed to Fenghe Town in a silent atmosphere.

Approaching the evening of the next day, Chu Zhen and his party finally arrived in Fenghe Town.

As soon as they came here, Chu Zhen and Shen Tian'er looked around for grain stores and bought grain.

At this time, it is not yet the time for the new season of grain harvest, but fortunately, Fenghe Town has the most grain stores, and there are a lot of grain stores.

The food bought was relatively scattered and needed to be concentrated, and the grain store also needed to arrange for people to carry it, so Shen Tian'er asked them to send all the grain to the Yufeng Inn in the center of the town.

In the Yufeng Inn, Shen Tian'er, who was finally relieved, ordered a few tables of wine and food, and asked everyone to have a good meal, and then set off on the road after resting tomorrow morning.

Chu Zhen and the others were eating here, but the conversation at the other table attracted the attention of Chu Zhen and Shen Tian'er.

"Brother Zhao, thank you for reminding me in time this time, otherwise brother, I'm afraid I'm going to die on the way to Lancheng. Come, I'll toast you. ”

A richly dressed man who looked like a boss raised his glass and solemnly saluted the other man at the table with him.

"Brother Ye is polite, I also heard from passers-by that the caravans going to Lancheng were robbed one after another. If the information is wrong, I hope Brother Ye, don't blame me for letting you add so many losses. ”

"Hey, what did Brother Zhao say. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, these losses don't matter, brother I am willing to pay. ”

As he spoke, the two of them laughed and knocked down their glasses, and then drank them all.

What the two of them said, Shen Tian'er was not happy, stood up and walked straight over.

"Hey, you're going to Lancheng, then come with us, I'll keep you safe and sound. Shen Tian'er said loudly to the boss surnamed Ye.

Shen Tian'er suddenly interjected, causing the two men to be stunned.

"This girl is really a big mouthful, but I have heard that more than twenty caravans have been robbed on the way to Lancheng, and none of them have survived. The man surnamed Zhao felt that Shen Tian'er was demolishing his platform, and said dissatisfiedly.

Shen Tian'er snorted lightly and said, "It's true that a caravan was robbed, but it's far less serious, and besides, you also have to watch who the caravan is escorting." ”

When the boss surnamed Ye heard this, he felt that Shen Tian'er must have a background, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask who the girl is?"

Shen Tian'er patted her chest and said proudly: "My name is Shen Tian'er, and I am the young hall master of the Lancheng Gun Pavilion. ”

"Arashijo Gun Hall!"

The two exclaimed at the same time. In this realm, who had never heard of the name of the Lancheng Gun Pavilion, their gaze at Shen Tian'er instantly became very awe-inspiring.

"The little one meets the young hall master. ”

"Meet the young hall master. ”

Shen Tian'er smiled with satisfaction, waved her hand, and said, "No need to be polite. ”

At this time, the boss surnamed Ye rolled his eyes and asked respectfully: "I just heard what the young pavilion master meant, I want to go back to Lancheng." ”

said that he didn't care about losses, but the nature of a businessman was there, and the boss surnamed Ye was still worried about the gains and losses of this trip.

"That's right, we're going back to Arashiki tomorrow morning. You ask people to pack up their things, and when the time comes, come with us, and if there is anything on the way, we will be responsible for the Lancheng Gun House. ”

"Oh, thank you little one, young hall master. Immediately afterwards, the boss surnamed Ye shouted loudly towards the counter, "Man, the food and accommodation of the young hall owner and his party are all counted in my account." ”

The boss surnamed Ye is also a good person, and he directly paid for Shen Tian'er, which made Shen Tian'er very satisfied.

After saying that, the boss surnamed Ye respectfully saluted Shen Tian'er, and then trotted back to arrange for his subordinates to sort out the goods, forgetting his brother Zhao completely.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Chu Zhen couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and sighed secretly: "Businessman, it is really the most difficult to see sincerity. ”

Before dawn, the people of the Lancheng Gun House sorted out the grain sent over last night and loaded it into the eight wagons they had hired. And the boss surnamed Ye, he waited in the courtyard with people and loaded goods before that.

When everything was ready, Shen Tian'er took the carriage and took the caravan of the boss surnamed Ye out of Fenghe Town and returned to Lancheng.

The return was different from the time when he came, when he came, he took a shortcut through the dense woods, and when he returned, he took a much longer official road, and there were four more wagons full of grain, and the caravan's batch of oil bottles, which multiplied the time required to return several times.

The fatigue of the journey is nothing to cultivators like Chu Zhen and Shen Tian'er, but ordinary people like caravans can't. Every time they walked, they shouted that they were tired and wanted to rest, which made Shen Tian'er almost crazy, and she regretted taking them with her very much.

But the big words have already been spoken, and Shen Tian'er, who wants to save face, can only swallow the bitterness herself.

Finally, after three days of stop-and-go, they were getting closer and closer to Arashijo, less than fifty miles away.

Seeing that she was about to arrive home, Shen Tian'er was like an arrow, but those people in the caravan were so tired that they couldn't lift their feet, so they had to order to rest for half an hour first.

Soon after, they will enter the city, but the robbers who are very fierce have not appeared, Shen Tian'er said confidently to Chu Zhen beside him: "How about it, these robbers are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, with our gun hall personally escorting, don't dare to appear!"

Before she could finish speaking, the smile on her face suddenly condensed, and she quickly turned her head to look at the dense woods on the side.

"Kill—"

With a loud shout, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men suddenly burst out of the woods and swung their knives at Chu Zhen and his party.

At the moment of killing, the people of the Lancheng Gun Pavilion immediately raised their guns to meet the battle, and in the blink of an eye, they fought with the man in black.

"Young Pavilion Master, you have to protect me!"

The rumored robber really appeared, and the boss surnamed Ye hurriedly hid beside Shen Tian'er in a panic and begged her to protect himself.

The spear opened and closed widely, and someone was by her side, Shen Tian'er suddenly felt that her moves were limited, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Don't get in the way here. ”

Kicking the boss surnamed Ye to the side with a horizontal kick, Shen Tian'er's heart trembled violently while getting rid of this person who was in the way.

"Little girl, let's die. ”

A man in black quickly passed through the crowd and picked up a knife to take Shen Tian'er. His whole body was shaken by the Yuan force, and he was a master of the second grade of the True Yuan.

"Kill!"

Shen Tian'er was in the same realm as him, and he was naturally fearless in his heart, and with a shake of the silver spear in his hand, he picked up the blade that attacked, and immediately fought with him.

The two sides fought, the scene was chaotic, and the ordinary people in the caravan were frightened, and kept running around, becoming an innocent ghost from time to time. Among these people who fought fiercely, the weakest strength was Chu Zhen of Lingyuan Sixth Rank, and the opponent who found him was a masked man of Lingyuan Seventh Rank.
