Crackle –

The bonfire was blazing, and the dry firewood was crackling.

Under the jumping firelight, people only felt a flash of cold light in front of them, as if they saw something, but as if they didn't see anything.

"Okay—what a fast knife!" The Mu family guards covered their necks with their hands, looked at the young man named Zhang Meng in front of them in horror, and squeezed out a sentence in their throats with great difficulty.

He regretted it.

What's wrong to see, but to see his knife?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

Even if he had, he didn't have time to buy it.

Blood poured out of his fingers, and no matter how hard he tried with his two hands, he couldn't cover it.

Boom!

He fell headlong to the ground in front of him, his body convulsing a few times and not moving.

Before he died, a thought flashed through his mind: The knife that took his life to see was really fast!

Cang Chang Chang -

The Mu family guards drew their swords one after another.

"You-you're so bold!" the captain of the guard, Yang Tongjin, pointed at Zhang Meng and scolded angrily, he never thought that Zhang Meng would actually draw a knife and kill someone.

Zhang Meng's face was expressionless, his indifferent gaze swept at Yang Tongjin and the Mu family guards who drew their knives, his voice was so calm that there was no ripple, and asked, "Who else wants to see my knife?"

The air was instantly quiet.

Zhang Meng just said that he was going to take out the knife, and they all watched curiously, but they didn't see clearly when the knife was unsheathed, when it slashed through their companion's throat, and when it was sheathed.

All they saw was a cold light.

They clenched the handle of the knife, all with fierce expressions, eager to slaughter Zhang Xiaopaw with a knife, but no one dared to respond for a while.

When Zhang Meng's indifferent gaze swept over their faces, they even felt their breath suffocating, feeling that Zhang Meng was looking at them with the eyes of a dead man.

Zhang Meng's gaze finally fell on Yang Tongjin's face.

"Why, you still dare to attack this colonel?" Yang Tongjin glared and shouted angrily.

"Take care of your subordinates, don't make trouble, let alone make trouble, and carry out the tasks assigned by your master in peace. ”

"It's better not to challenge my endurance, because I don't have endurance at all. ”

Zhang Meng ignored Yang Tongjin's angry shouts, said in a calm voice, and after speaking, he didn't pay attention to Yang Tongjin's reaction at all, turned around and left.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way.

The guards of the Wanyan family all looked excited, and their eyes sent Zhang Meng away with infinite admiration.

Along the way, they all felt the contempt from the Mu family's guards, and felt that Zhang Meng's knife gave them a bad breath, and the bent waist pole suddenly straightened.

"You, is that the quality of your Wanyan family's general?"

"If you don't agree with each other, you will draw a knife and kill people, and you will despise your superiors!" Yang Tong Jin asked Diao Zhengzhen.

Diao Zhengzhen spread his hands innocently and said, "Lord Yang, I have reminded and dissuaded you more than once, but you insisted on not listening. Now, are you blaming me?"

"You-" Yang Tongjin was speechless, snorted coldly, and left with a blue face.

......

Zhang Xiaopaw sat in the dimly lit carriage, rubbing the handle of the knife with the five fingers of his left hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curvature.

Looking back on the experience of this month, he feels that he has completed the task quite well.

disguised as a big-toothed man and successfully infiltrated Wanyan's house.

showed his strength, was appreciated by Wanyan Yongnan, was included in his command, and became a general.

helped Yan Yongnan capture Taihui City, and also beheaded the head of the Third Emperor Uncle of the Big Tooth Emperor, so that the Wanyan family was imprisoned and rebelled, and there was no room for delay.

At present, his task is to send Wanyan Keke'an to Jingcheng safely, so that the Wanyan family and the Mu family can marry and form an alliance, then the two families will definitely join forces to advance southward, and happily create a rebellion against the Daya Emperor.

At that time, he will work hard to help the two families attack Cheng and seize the land, and retreat at the right time, and the task will be completed.

Infiltrate the Wanyan family and fight for the Wanyan family.

You only need to contribute, you don't need to use your brain, and there will be a special person in charge of what you do.

This is the task given to him by Ghost Face.

It's so simple that Zhang Xiaopaw feels inexplicable, and he doesn't understand what is there about this to keep Rakshasa tight-lipped?

In fact, this alone is not Rakshasa's fault, because the most basic and strict discipline of the six doors is secrecy.

Say it when you should say it, and don't say a word when you shouldn't.

Although this mission is simple, the content of the mission obviously needs to be kept strictly confidential, and he naturally will not tell Zhang Xiaopaw in advance, this is a matter of principle.

If the first person to contact Zhang Xiaopaw was Ghost Face, Ghost Face would definitely not say anything before Zhang Xiaopaw arrived at the border.

But with the ghostly and sleek way of doing things, he shouldn't make the relationship with Zhang Xiaopaw so stiff, unless he also has the same thoughts as Rakshasa and wants to tame Zhang Xiaopaw and let Zhang Xiaopaw do things for him.

The only thing that makes Zhang Xiaopaw not very accustomed to it is that he can't have too much contact with the people around him, first, because he is afraid that his identity will be exposed, and secondly, he is afraid that he will get along too deeply, and he can't bear to kill him when the time comes.

So he has always played a taciturn character, and he can do things as little as possible without nonsense.

But this is not bad, no one comes to disturb him, so that he has a lot of time to cultivate.

After a month of concentrating on cultivation, his cultivation was refined again, and he was promoted to the Fifth Heavenly Realm, but it was accompanied by a huge consumption of the Origin Golden Pill.

In a month, he consumed more than 300 Yuan Shi Jin Dan.

You must know that for major sects like the Ethereal Palace and the Yang God Temple, the annual revenue is only one hundred Yuan Shi Jin Dan.

What was terrifying was that more than three hundred Primal Origin Golden Pills had only allowed him to break through from the Quadruple Heavenly Realm to the Quadruple Heavenly Realm.

In other words, he spent more than three years of revenue and only improved one realm.

If he were an ordinary sect disciple and relied on the cultivation resources given by the sect every month to cultivate, it would probably take decades to improve this realm.

There were only more than 600 Yuan Shi Jin Dan left in his Sumeru mustard seeds.

When he came out of Yancheng, he carried a total of 2,800 grains on his body, gave Qi Yoyo 300 grains in Fuzhou City, and handed over 500 grains each to Niu Dawa, Zhou Jianlai and Yuan Taiping through ghost noodles, plus he consumed more than 300 grains himself, so there were only more than 600 grains left.

He originally asked to meet with Niu Dawa and the three of them, but Ghost Face said that the three of them had dispersed to Tiannan and Haibei in Daya, and they couldn't meet, so they could only ask Ghost Face to transfer Yuan Shi Jindan on their behalf.

The reward was that he blessed the ghost face with a jade pendant with twice the effect.

As for whether the ghost face has sent the Yuan Shi Jindan as much as possible, Zhang Xiaopu can't be very sure, he can only choose to believe in the ghost face.

Fifteen hundred Yuan Shi Jin Dan, he was naturally afraid of being greedy by the ghost face, but he was even more afraid that Niu Dawa and the three of them would not have cultivation resources available, so he was willing to take a risk.

Performing a seemingly simple task in a foreign country is actually a task that requires one's life, and it is absolutely impossible without the support of strong cultivation.

However, judging from the reply letter from Niu Dawa and the three of them, the three of them should have received all of them.

The replies to him from the three were each interesting.

Zhou Jianlai drew five swords, Niu Dawa drew five circles, and Yuan Taiping wrote five lines of thanks in words that he didn't know when he learned.

Zhang Xiaopaw rubbed his fingers on the hilt of the knife, and decided that after returning to the capital after sending his relatives back to the capital, he would immediately use the code to contact Ghost Face, and ask him to find a way to sell a batch of jade pendants in the Great Tooth Country to earn a wave of Yuan Shi Jindan.

Because he found that after being promoted to the Fifth Heaven Realm, the Origin Golden Pill was greatly reduced in his utility.

The effect of eating one pill in the past now requires two pills, which means that his consumption of the Yuan Shi Jin Dan has directly doubled, and the remaining more than six hundred pills are estimated to be only enough for a month, so he must find a way to replenish the Yuan Shi Jin Dan.

In addition, Niu Dawa and the three of them also need to send some more.

His fingers left the hilt of the knife, took out three Yuan Shi Jin Dan from his arms, and took them, hugged the Yin Dantian and began to cultivate.

Since coming to the Great Tooth Country, he has taken the Sumeru mustard seed into his arms and hid it.

......

At 3 p.m. on the fifth day, the convoy drove to Yanshan and crossed the Yanshan Ancient Road to the boundary of Jingcheng.

The ancient road of Yanshan is steep on both sides, and the mountain road is slightly narrow.

When Zhang Xiaopaw asked Qi Changfeng about the topography of Daya, Qi Changfeng once again mentioned this ancient Yanshan Road, saying that it was a good place for ambush warfare.

But it's not a battleground, as there are wide roads on both sides to bypass, which will take an extra day, but it's safe.

"The terrain is really good for ambush warfare. Zhang Xiaopaw raised the curtain and looked at the steep terrain on both sides of the road and muttered to himself.

Before the words fell, his face changed.

He noticed that a group of people were lying in ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road ahead, and instead of rushing to attack, they were waiting for the convoy to continue to move forward, and wait for all of them to enter their ambush circle before making a move.

Zhang Xiaopaw was quite speechless, he was really afraid of something.

"Stop!"

"There is an ambush on the mountain!"

Zhang Xiaopaw jumped out of the carriage, climbed onto the roof, shouted loudly ahead, and then fell on the top of the sedan chair that Wanyan Coke was riding with a bang, pressing the sedan chair to the ground.

"Miss, don't panic, there are subordinates here, and the thieves don't want to hurt you. Zhang Xiaopaw said to the finished face of Coco in the sedan car.

"Miss Ben is not afraid of ten thousand horses, how can she be afraid of a gang of thieves?"

Boom Boom –

Bang –

Zhang's roar alarmed the robbers on the ambush hill, and they immediately launched an attack on the convoy, and a rain of arrows and rolling stones fell from the top of the mountain, smashing the convoy on its back.

But in the end, it was the killing talent who came down from the battlefield, and there were two colonels in command, coupled with Zhang Xiaopaw's timely reminder, the chaotic situation quickly calmed down.

The back team of the convoy became the front team, and they wanted to withdraw from the ancient road.

"Kill!"

The robbers shouted for kill, wielding their bright blades and slashing down from the mountain.

"Well trained, not ordinary robbers. Zhang Xiaopaw frowned.

"Aren't you the soldiers and horses of the imperial capital? Wanyan Keke sat in the sedan chair and guessed.

"Miss—"

Suddenly, a shout pierced the sky from behind:

"The head of the family was murdered by Wanyan Yongnan, and the holy edict of the imperial capital had already been transmitted, but it was intercepted and killed by Wanyan Yongnan, and the grain and grass supplies provided by the imperial capital were also robbed by Wanyan Yongnan's collusion with the Mu family. ”

"Wan Yan Yongnan killed his brother and seized power!"

"Miss, don't be used by this beast that is not as good as a dog!"

"What?!" Wanyan Keke heard this series of shouts, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his brain fell into a brief blank.

"Where did the dog thief come from, barking indiscriminately and bewitching the public!"

"Kill!"

The roadblocks were led down from the mountain, and Diao Zhengzhen and Yang Tongjin immediately launched an order to launch a counterattack.

Before exiting the ancient road, he was in a hurry to counterattack, but he was a bit of a thief.

Zhang Xiaopaw frowned.

I thought it was an easy task, but I didn't expect that something would happen halfway, if what the people said was true, then it would be impossible for Yan Keke to marry in Jingcheng obediently.

Boom!

This thought flashed through Zhang Xiaopaw's mind just now, and after Yan Keke, he smashed the sedan chair with a punch and rushed out.

Wearing a red wedding dress, she had a cold expression on her face, and a fierce light shot out of her eyes.

From her angry reaction, it can be seen that she believed the words of the roadblockers.

"Hey—" Zhang Xiaopaw sighed depressedly, and grabbed the handle of the knife with his hand.
