Duanmu Xu didn't know that Pan Zihan had some arrangements in the back, so he just rode the fastest horse in the Shenji Battalion and desperately rushed north.

Maybe he has a reason to hide in the shadows, or ride slowly and leisurely in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain, after all, this is the world of Daxian, and the people of the Zhao family are on Zhongnan Mountain. But he didn't want to live up to Pan Datou's trust, and he also wanted to inform the people on Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible not to put themselves in danger. The righteousness of a friend, or the pity and cherishing jade secretly born in his heart, he couldn't tell it clearly, and he didn't bother to distinguish it, but he just urged the horse to break through the night and gallop.

A horse running at full speed, where can it last. Duanmu Xu selected several places according to the distribution of post stations on the map, and each place he went to, he took out the token of the Huaishuo army, urging him to change horses quickly, and the post man saw that he was bloodstained and knew that he had just come down from the battlefield, so he quickly pulled the horses. Duanmu Xu galloped all the way, changed horses all the way, broke dawn, and it was close to noon. Several horses had changed, and even when a post man was a little slower on the way, he could not contain his anger, and he was indeed anxious.

However, at this time, he could faintly see the clouds and mist of Zhongnan Mountain in the distance, and his anxious heart eased slightly.

However, he encountered another problem in front of him, and the stagecoach under him was exhausted and could not run, and the map showed that there was no post station ahead.

There was no post station, so I could only find a place where there were people, but fortunately there was a village not far away. Duanmuxu thought about changing a horse in the village.

Yizhong Village, under the entire Zhongnan peaks, has been the place where the Taoist priests in the Chongyang Palace have settled down the mountain since ancient times, and it is also the place where those who seek Taoism in the south must pass through. Over time, from a few families in twos and threes, it has slowly become a village.

This is where Duanmu Xu plans to change horses. In a hurry, he finally entered the village, and saw a tea shop with several horses tied to it, which was just right. He didn't care about anything else, and rode straight over.

shouted to the tea shop, "Shopkeeper, exchange a horse with you, this is silver tael, this is a horse." As in normal times, he naturally dismounted and explained carefully. It's just that now, where is the time to do this? He took out the silver ingots from his bosom and threw them at the wooden table in the teahouse, and he jumped away from the stagecoach and landed on a horse beside the teahouse.

He tugged harder, and the reins that had fallen on the post were torn off, and without stopping for a moment, he urged the horse to leave.

From taking out the silver taels to changing horses and leaving, but in the blink of an eye, the shopkeeper of the tea shop did not react, and many tea customers did not react, so they were drinking tea and resting, and a silver tael flew out of thin air and landed on the empty wooden table, and what was even more strange was that the man left a horse and snatched a horse.

Maybe the average tea guest complained at most twice, collected the silver two, and then took a good look at the horses left, and estimated whether they suffered a loss or not, but there were three Taoist priests sitting in this tea shop, one tall, one thin, and one fat, and the horse that happened to be replaced by Duanmu Xu was theirs.

"This man is so domineering. Pursue. One of them said,

The three of them flashed and landed on their horses. The two rushed forward, and the fat Taoist priest looked at the horse under him, and said with a bitter face, "The two senior brothers will go and catch the horse thief first, and I'll come later." ”

"Jing Yuan, then you take your time in the back. The two men in front of them did not look back, but had already chased after them.

"Senior Brother Xuanyi, Senior Brother Jingzhen, snatch my Xiaoqing back. Jing Yuan shouted from behind.

The speed of Duanmu is fast, and the two Taoist priests behind are also fast.

"Bold bandits, stop. The taller Xuanyi shouted, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, on the territory of Chongyang Palace, someone dared to break ground on his head, which he never expected.

Chongyang Palace, but the ancestral court of the Taoist Yiyang Sect of the Great Xian State, not to mention the ordinary people, even the dignitaries and magnates also respect three points. In broad daylight, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, he blatantly attacked the Taoist priest of Chongyang Palace and snatched the horses, if it didn't happen to him, if others talked about it, Xuanyi and the two would definitely not believe it.

Hearing the shouts from behind, Duanmu Xu didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't pause for half a minute, "This Dao Chief, I have an urgent matter when I go to Zhongnan Mountain, borrow a horse and use it, and return it immediately at the foot of the mountain." This Zhongnan Mountain is steep and dangerous, and there is a saying that there is a road in Zhongnan since ancient times, so Duanmu Xu planned to ride straight to the foot of the mountain, so he abandoned the horse and went up the mountain. It is precisely because there is a road up and down the mountain in Zhongnan, and every step is difficult and dangerous, that he is worried that if a large army blocks the mountain road and sends troops up the mountain, it will be difficult for the people above to escape.

"What's the urgency to get to Zhongnan Mountain? can you do this kind of stealing people's property?" Xuan Yi heard that the other party's destination was Zhongnan Mountain, and there was something urgent, so he asked.

"I went up the hill to find someone. Duanmu Xu replied casually.

"Who are you looking for?" Xuan Yi naturally had to ask clearly.

"Pan Zhiyan. ”

"I don't know. You are a border soldier, who can you find when you come to the place where I will end up in the south of the Qing Dynasty? Stop me quickly. At first, Xuan Yi thought that this person was looking for a senior brother or uncle in the sect, but when he heard this name, it was not the name taken in the sect at all.

"This matter is urgent, and I will talk to you about it after I go up the mountain. Duanmu Xu didn't have time to entangle with these two Taoist priests at all.

Xuanyi thinks that his cultivation is excellent, and the thief snatches the horse in front of him, and gives the other party a chance to explain. However, this person is so stubborn, it seems that it is necessary to take some extraordinary measures. "Since you don't know what to do and what you are obsessed with, then the poor way has to do the right thing for heaven. ”

Jingzhen, who was following on the side, hurriedly persuaded, "Senior Brother Xuanyi, don't do it, Master has been teaching, don't use force wantonly." He knew that his senior brother was a well-known martial idiot in the sect, and his cultivation could be regarded as outstanding among the younger generation, where was the average soldier his opponent.

Where would Xuan Yi listen, a sleeve dart had already flown away from his right hand, and it was aimed at the back of Duanmu Xu, who was rushing in front.

"Not good. Jingzhen screamed in a hurry.

Duanmu Xu heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and he knew that the weapon was flying, and the speed was comparable to that of a crossbow arrow, this Taoist priest was really not simple, and he could swing such a force with just his arm strength. At such a short distance, ordinary people naturally can't avoid it, but he is not in a hurry, when the sharp weapon is about to approach, it is like an ape poking his waist, flashing to the left, and the sharp weapon breaks through the air.

The people who didn't expect it were shocked, Jingzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but Xuanyi was bruised, how could it be.

He has practiced this sleeve dart since he was a child, and he has hit every shot, not to mention that he is a monk in the lower realm, although he has not used spiritual power, and now the sleeve dart has already been doing whatever he wants.

Looking at the figure not far ahead, how can you avoid this dart?

If one dart doesn't work, another dart. The more powerful, the faster.

The dart shadow flashed, and it reached Duanmu Xu's back.
