Chapter 409: Sand River Undercurrent
Compared with the last trip to Shahe Town, this time it was much faster, don't look at the number of teams from Yun and Zhu, the speed is still extremely fast, and it only took two days for everyone to rush to Shahe Town.
The road of the wild forest of beasts is sparsely populated, and it begins to be lively when it arrives at Shahe Town, the ordinary town, from the beginning of entering the village, you can see all kinds of warriors wandering around, some are fierce and vicious, some are silent, as for the accommodation and inns in Shahe Town, they have long been overcrowded, and on the flat stone road at the entrance of the village, there are sometimes warriors wearing the uniforms of the Ming family's private army to maintain law and order. Most of those warriors were wandering warriors, and when they heard the news of Taixuanzang, they came to try their luck, and some simply found a few equally lonely warriors to form an alliance on the spot, and pulled up a long queue, so as to enliven the economy of Shahe Town.
"Fourteen shili also have eyeliner in Shahe Town, but most of them are those fast horses who are responsible for transmitting messages, and they are actually a hundred miles away from Shayu Pass on the Henghai Desert, and it is impossible for any family to disturb the people of Li in such a large-scale operation, so most of their men and horses are stationed in Shayu Pass. Zhu Yeqing introduced as he walked, and from his low and solemn tone, it could be heard that Zhu Yeqing was now a pillow soldier, always alert to changes in the surrounding environment.
The strength of the fourteen shili does not need to be said, for the sake of treasures, this move may cause a large-scale chaotic battle at any time, and the blood will flow lightly, and it is very likely that the entire family will be confessed here if they are not careful.
"Shall we continue walking, then?" asked Feng Jueyu.
Zhu Yeqing shook her head, and her eyes stayed on Yun Zhonglong not far away: "We discussed it when we came, according to the report of the spies, there seems to be a sandstorm tonight, even if we rush to Shayu Pass, we can't find the oasis, let's rest here for a night, and then set off on the third watch." β
Hundred miles of road according to the foot distance is also an hour, the fourth watch to the place has been dawn, a few people discussed in Shahe Town to live, the common people see so many warriors stationed in Shahe Town, how can there be no reason not to panic, there is a house to vacate the room, most of the warriors live in the compound.
The Yun family also has its own property in Shahe Town, Yun Zhonglong's residence is naturally more luxurious, it is not a problem to find a place to live as the eldest son of the Yun family, everything is arranged, Yun Zhonglong walked over: "Feng Gongzi, come with me." β
There are really not many people who came out to bring Feng Jueyu this time, and there is the strength to muddy the water in the Taixuan Secret Vault, and there is only one ram in the old department of Yu Shuai, the old man is still on the way, he has already said hello before, and then there is Yao Wan's gold medal task, it is impossible for Yun Zhonglong to let him leave his field of vision, and Zhu Yeqing also agrees with Feng Jueyu following Yun Zhonglong, although he knows that this kid is much more terrifying than the Heart Sword, but sometimes it is a good thing not to have to do it himself, so Feng Jueyu followed Yun Zhonglong to live in a big mansion that the Yun family bought in Shahe Townγ
No one knew that at the moment when Feng Jueyu entered Shahe Town, he was actually being targeted.
......
When darkness fell, the night in Shahe Town was much hotter than in the hinterland of other continents, and many wandering warriors liked to inhabit in an open place without roof tiles to cover their heads, such as He Hongshan, Luodi, and Dou Qing.
Since the last time they accepted Feng Jueyu's employment, the three of them took the line of Chen Xiuhong of the Chen family of Muyun Mansion, and they officially withdrew from the Yanwu Hall. But I don't know what bad luck I have taken recently, after I go back, there was a task of storing millions of taels of silver, zuihou announced that he had stopped because of the disappearance of the employer's wind killer, He Hongshan and the three of them knew that they had suffered a big loss, even if they knew where Feng Jueyu was, they didn't have the courage to recover the tail money behind, and it was over.
After all, they didn't dare to have any resentment, after all, that kid was too powerful, he was a god martial realm at a young age, and he could defeat a behemoth like a wild ape, and they didn't want to put their lives in it for some silver. If the money can't be recovered, forget it, but fortunately, they came into contact with Chen Xiuhong, and Chen Xiuhong also promised them to join the Chen family in Muyun Mansion.
Seeing that Keqing's good days were coming, He Hongshan and the three of them spared no effort to excavate the Taixuan secret treasure for the Chen family, who knew that what was waiting for them was not a promising future, but a tiger's den in Longtan that would die for a lifetime.
The Chen family was the first to discover the Taixuan Secret Vault, and the three of them followed Chen Xiuhong to become the vanguard of the excavation of the Vault.
The whole operation can be described as nine deaths and one life, and in the end it is also the end of fleeing in the wilderness, one action, Chen Xiuhong threw his life in the countless organs hidden by the Taixuan, and the master of the dignified Tianwu consummation died like this, if it wasn't for He Hongshan's three people who escaped alertly, I'm afraid that there was not even a survivor in the Chen family's team that day, Rao is so, the three of them still suffered some injuries, and they rested in Shahe Town for more than half a month before recovering.
In the next half a month, the three people were unusually low, the martial arts hall withdrew, Chen Xiuhong's people died completely, and the so-called promise of introducing them to join the Chen family became an empty talk with Chen Xiuhong's death, and finally the three of them completely restored their identities as wandering warriors.
But today, a piece of good news lifted He Hongshan's spirits: it turned out that an old friend of Yan Wutang passed on a message that Yan Wutang recently had a gold medal mission, killing a person, and the reward was a white flame second-grade martial art.
Hearing the news, He Hongshan almost jumped out of bed, and he couldn't wait to join the operation.
In fact, they were not qualified to accept the task in the Yanwu Hall, but fortunately, the old friend said that this time the task was to hire a few masters of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and they temporarily organized an assassination team because they were afraid that they would not be able to complete it.
Regardless of whether it was an assassination team or something, the martial arts of the second grade of Bai Yan were a treasure coveted by many martial artists, and even if they risked their lives, it was worth it.
At night, He Hongshan and the three of them came to a private house, the courtyard wall of this small courtyard built with an earthen wall is not yet high, and you can see the outside of the wall when you raise your head, the ordinary can not be more ordinary, fortunately, the house is on the west side of Shahe Town, no one pays attention, and there is no need for any secrecy or not.
Putting the prepared haode black scarf on his face, because it was introduced by an old friend, it was still an assassination activity, He Hongshan and the three of them paid great attention to covering up the identities of the three of them, the purpose was to be afraid that they would be recognized and get into trouble after the matter was completed.
Entering the house, He Hongshan and the three of them were originally very happy, but when they entered the hospital, the three of them were stunned.
Just listen to the courtyard, there are as many as five or six Tianwu good siblings who are masked like them, from the beginning of Tianwu to the consummation, what task actually uses so many masters?
The three of them looked at each other and did not speak, took out the token specially prepared for them by their old friends, and found a corner and sat down.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was particularly heavy, and everyone did not speak, waiting quietly.
At this time, a short old man with a black scarf walked over, nodded in front of He Hongshan and the three of them, and lowered his voice: "Brother He, Brother Luo." β
"Brother Ma!"
He Hongshan immediately recognized this old man as the organizer of the assassination team, Ma Tenghu, who was also a person from the martial arts hall, but later he disappeared for a while, but He Hongshan and the three of them didn't know.
He Hongshan looked at the courtyard with six senses, and asked softly: "Brother Ma, what task requires so many people, and they are all first-class good hands? β
Ma Tenghu made a booing gesture, pulled He Hongshan and the three of them aside, and whispered: "To be honest, the task itself is not very dangerous, and the target cultivation is mostly said to be complete in the Xuanwu Realm, but this goal is protected by a master, and you should know that since it is a gold medal task, many people have taken it, so we have to complete the task at a favorable time, I say that you understand, right?"
He Hongshan was too familiar with this kind of routine, and frowned when he heard this: "What does Brother Ma mean is that others are cannon fodder, and we are the real killers?"
Ma Tenghu nodded inadvertently: "Brother He, we are old friends, I won't hide it from you, this time it is everyone recruited by the task employer privately, and the people who come are not ordinary in cultivation, the employer said that he threw a lot of silver into the gold medal task, and also took out a book of white flame second-grade martial arts, so I don't want to have a bad task." β
Luo Di quickly received: "That's natural, a Xuanwu realm consummation is not a problem at all, is there someone who is responsible for luring the master who protects him away this time." β
Ma Tenghu: "That's roughly what it means, anyway, it's going to stay for a while, the three of them must also know the rules, since they can't leave if they don't complete the task when they come, the three of them are wronged first." β
"Brother Ma is polite. He Hongshan's face was full of gratitude, after all, it was a martial art of the second grade of the White Flame, who didn't want to get it, if there was such a good thing in the past, I am afraid that it would be difficult for someone to take out the task reward and share it with others, it was because of Ma Tenghu's generosity, He Hongshan was still very moved.
It's just that He Hongshan also understands that even if the mission target is weak, if the employer can mobilize nearly ten Tianwu masters to organize an assassination team, this mission will never be as easy as Ma Teng said, maybe it is a child of a certain family, or an important person.
A long wait followed, but fortunately it didn't take too long, and when the oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard reached its peak, a fat pig-like masked man walked out, a man who was too tall and burly to look like a human.
"Huh, this person seems to be Yao Wan's killing!"
