Leaving Quqing Town, it was already late at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Hongwu and his entourage did not linger at all, and went north along the Longsai River overnight. Duguyue led people to wait for them in Juxian Zhai, and it was clear that it was a well-planned Hongmen banquet. As for the purpose of the Willow Whisker Palace, it is by no means as simple as just wanting to go to the central realm.

At this time, except for Tang Shuang'er, the inside of the left wrist of the others had an extra willow leaf mark. It is purple-red, as if it had been bruised. This mark is not usually noticeable, but once the mana is cast, it will glow with red light.

At a height of 2,000 zhang above the ground, the wind was so strong that it was difficult to hear even if you were talking face to face. Hong Wu and the master of the furnace had gloomy faces all the way, not knowing what they were thinking. As for Shen Ning'er, she had already scolded Duguyue and Liushu Palace for being bloody.

"Childe, the Moon Scar Immortal Venerable has left a curse mark on us, and he must want to monitor all your whereabouts. If I'm not mistaken, this is the Dark Willow Blood Talisman of the Willow Whisker Palace's secret tradition. Spells are used to hook the qi and blood in our bodies, and forcibly leave curse marks on the skin. The caster will be able to sense our whereabouts and directions, and even detonate the origin! ”

"Hmph, I've seen this woman's methods a long time ago. As she herself said, there is no right or wrong in different situations to do different things. What can't such a person do? But don't worry, as long as you don't completely tear your face, she won't dare to do anything to you! Hong Wu stared down at the mark on the inside of his wrist, a casual sneer on the corner of his mouth. Duguyue wants to use this thing to control him, but it is simply wishful thinking. With the power of the indestructible sword body, this curse mark can be worn out at any time.

"Then what to do now, Taoyuan Province is full of Willow Whisker Palace's eyeliner, I'm afraid that even if I find the old monster of the Southern Underworld, the Dan Furnace will ......"

"It's okay, keep looking!" Hong Wu waved his hand, directly interrupted the words of the master in the furnace, did not explain anything, and secretly sneered: "Duguyue, since you choose to be my enemy, then don't stop!" ”

The night breeze was slightly cool, and since leaving Quqing Town, Hongwu and his party continued to go north along the Longsai River, not letting go of any of the towns they passed, even the surrounding desolate villages were also set foot in search of them. This time, instead of riding in a carriage, they hurried to the sky. Since it has been targeted by the Willow Whisker Palace, Taoyuan Province has become a place of right and wrong, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Hongwu wanted to find the old monster of the Southern Darkness as soon as possible, and then snatched the Dan furnace and ran away immediately.

In a flash, more than half a month has passed. Quqing Town is 300 miles to the north, is the largest city in Taoyuan Province, named Xiyu. This city is an important town for transportation from north to south, and it is also an ancient city where merchants from various provinces come and go for trade. In the distance, Hong Wu saw the wharf on the bank of the Longsai River. Although it was late at night, the pier was brightly lit and crowded.

Hongwu and his entourage landed on the ground on the outskirts of the city, and then walked along the riverbank all the way to the pier. But this time, Hong Wu changed his appearance again, and he was an ordinary-looking nobleman, not yet twenty years old.

Directly opposite the wharf is the east gate of Xiyu City. Because there were so many merchants coming and going, the gates of the city were never closed. It is said that this is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times, and it has not changed since Yanagi Palace occupied Taoyuan Province.

Hongwu walked to the dock and watched the merchants, slender men, and boatmen coming and going...... The eyes are blurred, and I can't help but think back to the days when I was a child. At that time, he stayed on the dock every day, no different from these busy people. If anything, it's just the difference between the sea and the canal.

After the lesson of Juxian Zhai, Shen Ning'er settled down a lot, and turned back into the chivalrous woman who walked the rivers and lakes, punished evil and promoted good. In this way, Hong Wu naturally saved a lot of thoughts. However, whenever he asked about Shen Ning'er's origin, this little girl refused to say.

Just when Hongwu looked at the dock and touched the scene, a scene made him frown. At some point, a group of children chased them to the docks. At the head was a sturdy boy, eleven or twelve-year-old, who was leading a group of "little brothers" to push a child who looked to be only seven or eight years old to the ground. This kind of thing is very common on the docks, and the adults who come and go are so busy that no one comes forward to stop them.

"Little monkey, you stole the food from the dock at night, and everyone saw it, and you still don't admit it?"

"I didn't, big fat brother, it was the steamed bun I exchanged with my uncles with a copper plate, I didn't steal it, woo woo woo woo ......"

"Hmph, you dare to quibble, you wild seed without a parent, my father kindly took you in, and he dared to steal things behind everyone's back, it's like a wolf's heart. Hit me hard and don't let him run! ”

The big fat brother gave an order, and more than a dozen children immediately stepped forward and kicked it violently. That little monkey was already thin, how could he stand so many punches and kicks? Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth in an instant, and his internal organs had already been injured.

"How can this be reasonable, how old a child is, and his heart is so ruthless?" Where can Shen Ning'er endure it? With a cold snort, he rushed over impatiently. The Master of the Furnace wanted to stop her, but after glancing at Hong Wu's expression, he stopped again. This time, Hong Wu actually did not stop it for the first time.

"Hmph, get out of the way!" Suddenly, a furious roar exploded through the crowd. Thunder fell from the sky, deafening. In an instant, a huge wave surged onto the dock and knocked over countless people. Before Shen Ning'er could reach at this time, she was stunned by this roar, and almost didn't sit on the ground. Shen Ning'er was startled, looked up, and in the chaotic crowd, a young man in tattered clothes slowly walked out. He was holding a gourd and pouring wine into his stomach, and his face was covered with mud and dust.

At this moment, everyone on the dock looked at the man who suddenly appeared in shock, and no one dared to move. And the dozen or so children had already fallen to the ground, scared and urinating.

"Don't... Don't come, don't come! The big fat brother watched the young man walk towards him step by step, his face jumped wildly, and his whole body trembled with fright. However, the young man didn't care about his age at all, and suddenly stopped, opened his fingers slightly, and slammed him into his hand.

The big fat brother was pinched by the throat, and his face instantly turned purple. From afar, Hong Wu felt the strong murderous aura on the man's body.

"Jindan Fivefold Realm, what a terrifying mana! I'm afraid this person's supernatural powers are above me! The hearth in the furnace was beating violently, and he couldn't help but look at Hongwu. The bustling Xiyucheng Wharf suddenly appeared in a golden pill period, which was really weird. However, at this time, Hong Wu just looked indifferently in the direction of the dock and didn't say a word!

"Let go of you? Little one, are you afraid of death? ”

"I'm afraid... Of course I'm afraid. Uncle, I'm still young, I don't want to die, Dad, where are you, Dad, come and save me......"
