"Xiaotong, your sister-in-law and I are waiting for you to come back. Tian Baishu said goodbye to Li Qiutong at the gate of the city.

"Brother Shu, I really regret not being able to attend your wedding with my sister-in-law, but I really hope you can be happy. ”

"With your words, I am satisfied, let's start early, have a good trip. ”

After Li Qiutong got on the horse, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Shu, see you in the future." After saying goodbye, Li Qiutong rode a horse to follow the Lin family's caravan.

"Ten years apart, goodbye as before. It's a pity. Tian Baishu shook his head and sighed as he watched the caravan under the afterglow gradually disappear from view.

"Bai Shu, why don't you let Qiu Tong stay for a few more days, he should agree. Shu Luoluo on the side asked suspiciously.

Tian Baishu looked into the distance, his soft eyes were full of memories and expectations, "Xiaotong's life is more than this, although he didn't say it, but I know that he longs for the outside in his heart, and the reason why he resolutely stepped into the martial arts back then may be this." How can I leave him here, maybe the next time we meet, he will already be a master in the world. After speaking, he turned around and hugged Shu Luoluo, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Well, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"As long as it's made by my wife, I like it. ”

Even though both of them are reluctant in their hearts, they can only leave in a hurry, and when they see each other again, they may no longer be the high-spirited teenagers they are now.

Li Qiutong, who followed the departure of the Lin family's caravan, was arranged in the position of the goods, responsible for protecting the goods, and more importantly, protecting the people in the carriage in front, according to Duan Tian, it was the upper echelons of the Lin family, if it were not for the strength of Li Qiutong's martial arts master and Tian Baishu's recommendation, Duan Tian would not have told him the news, and at the same time arranged him here. The most important thing in this transportation is to protect the people in the car to Jiangnan City, and the goods are still secondary.

In the process of transportation, it is tantamount to being very boring, and the guards often chat with each other to kill a boring time, and the newcomer Li Qiutong is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

"Brother Tong, I heard that you are a martial arts master, is it true?" The young man on the side leaned over and talked to Li Qiutong.

"Pretty much. Li Qiutong replied modestly

When Zhao Lin heard this, he was even more admired, and hurriedly said: "Brother Tong became a martial arts master at such a young age, he must be a famous family." ”

This question made Li Qiutong wonder, "Isn't it true that you can't become a martial arts master after a famous family?"

"That's not it, but if there is no family and sect resources to provide, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to become masters, and even if they become masters, his martial arts must be very ordinary martial arts, and they may not even be able to beat the martial artists of the big family. ”

After Li Qiutong understood, he asked again: "Then where did you learn your martial arts?" Li Qiutong had never considered this problem before, but now he realized that as long as there are martial arts secrets, in fact, anyone can practice them, but there is a problem of talent. However, the number of martial artists in the mainland is still too small compared to ordinary people.

Combined with what Tian Baishu said before, Li Qiutong discovered that many people's martial arts practice, if there is no master or even grandmaster to guide them, they may stop at the introductory stage for life. And how can a person at the level of a grandmaster easily guide ordinary people, only those with excellent martial arts talent can be taught by masters and grandmasters, and can go further in the martial arts. This is the reason why martial arts talent restricts people from becoming martial artists.

Zhao Lin replied: "I was in the army before, and I practiced the martial arts of the Song army, and then the army was disarmed, and I joined the Lin family's escort team. ”

"I see, the army can also practice martial arts. Li Qiutong suddenly realized.

Zhao Lin sighed and said: "Alas, that's it, compared to normal warriors, soldiers face life and death on the battlefield at any time, especially insignificant soldiers like us, if a war is not good, they have to die." Compared with the martial artists with sects, we are much worse. ”

The two were chatting, and the caravan suddenly stopped, and Li Qiutong looked left and right, but found nothing. The warriors of the surrounding escort team have all begun to stand on guard.

"No, it can happen. Thinking in his heart, Li Qiutong also began to gather Wu Yuan, walked to the carriage, and guarded the surroundings.

At this time, in front of the caravan, a group of men and horses blocked the caravan's road, and Duan Tianzheng confronted them with his guards.

"We are from Wolf Mountain, hand over your goods now, otherwise. Wielding the big knife in his hand, the leader of the other party threatened Duan Tian. There are about twenty bandits in total, and the number of people around Duan Tian is not less than them, I really don't know their courage, with Duan Tian's experience, with the strength of this group of guys, they really can't make any waves.

Just as Duan Tian was about to give the order to attack the other party, one of his subordinates suddenly rushed up from behind.

"Report to the captain, our team has been attacked by bandits. ”

"What do you say. Duan Tian's first reaction was not to believe that this road was full of mountains on the left and right, and it was only possible to be attacked from front to back, so he arranged Miss Lin and the supplies in the middle of the team, while leaving the main force at the head and tail of the caravan.

But the smiles of the group of bandits on the other side were enough to show that there was a good chance that this news was true, and Duan Tian suddenly fell into a dilemma, if he didn't bring someone back, Miss Lin was likely to be in danger. But the group of people on the opposite side will not let themselves come back to help, they can only hope that the people behind can be rescued as soon as possible, and they will solve the team in front of them as soon as possible.

Duan Tian immediately made a decision and led people to quickly attack this group of people.

Shifting his gaze to Li Qiutong's side, just as everyone began to relax, a stone next to the road was pushed away, and a group of people directly killed them. In an instant, the convoy and the bandits began a scuffle.

Although the personal strength of the escort team is a little stronger, the number of people is obviously much less than the other party, but fortunately, Li Qiutong has joined them. Most of the warriors among the bandits are ordinary warriors, Li Qiutong unleashed an extremely fast Xun fist, shuttling through the crowd like the wind, the fist condensed the green martial arts and waved with the wind, and the bandits where they passed felt a heavy blow, and they fell directly to the ground.

It's just that the number of bandits is too many, and the four guards except Li Qiutong have fallen to the ground, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. When Li Qiutong was still fighting, three bandits had already circled to the supply cart, pulled the cart and quickly fled.

As soon as the others saw it, they also began to retreat, after all, although the other party was alone, if they continued to fight, it was estimated that a group of people would not be the opponent of this guy. And the thing has already arrived, and there is no need to entangle with the other party.

After Li Qiutong knocked over another person, he found that everyone else had run away, and couldn't help scolding: "It's not over yet, what are you running?" ”

A coachman who had been hiding on the side was really speechless, "Everything has been snatched away, they haven't run yet, what are they waiting" Although he thought so, he still reminded Li Qiutong and said: "Hero, our things have been snatched away." ”

When Li Qiutong heard this, he found that the materials behind him were gone, and his attention was always on the other party just now, plus he was very excited just now, and he didn't find anything taken away at all. After seeing that the carriage was still there, the people inside should be fine, and Li Qiutong was relieved. Shout to the rest, "Protect this car, I'll go after the guys." After saying that, Li Qiutong chased after them along the road they had escaped. Only a group of unarmed people were left messy in the wind.

At this time, Duan Tian rushed over with people, and everyone had a lot of injuries on their bodies, which showed that they all paid a lot of price in order to fight quickly.

After Duan Tian got off the horse, he didn't have time to see the situation at the scene, so he immediately rushed to the carriage and opened the curtain. A woman suddenly rushed out of it, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, without too many ornaments on her body, only wearing a light-colored civilian dress. But the delicate and supple face still makes it unforgettable at a glance. The woman looked to be in her early twenties, and at this time she was holding a saber and preparing to slash at Duan Tian.

Fortunately, Duan Tian's reaction was okay, and he immediately blocked the sword with Wu Yuan's hand. And hurriedly said: "Duan Tian is late, Miss is fine." ”

Only then did Lin Ai see that the person who came was his guard, and he put down his heart that had been hanging. Put down the sword in his hand and said to Duan Tian: "Captain Duan, I'm fine, that group of bandits shouldn't have noticed me." ”

Duan Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, and the accompanying guards also immediately reported the situation to Duan Tian: "Captain, there are about fifty bandits who have attacked here, and all the materials have been lost, and there are five guards protecting the materials, three of whom are seriously injured, one of whom is dead, and one of whom is missing. ”

This result made Duan Tian feel a little heartbroken, these people were all brothers who had been with him for five or six years. sighed and said, "Fortunately, Miss is fine, otherwise it would not be enough to spare my old life." ”

Lin Ai comforted after getting out of the car: "Captain Duan doesn't have to blame himself, no one would have thought that they would dig a mountain road, and the medical expenses of the injured martial artists will all be borne by the Lin family, and the Lin family will definitely take care of his family if the martial artist is sacrificed." ”

"Thank you, Miss, after escorting Miss to Jiangnan City, I will lead people to rush up to Wolf Mountain and snatch back the lost supplies. ”

When Duan Tian was talking to Lin Ai, the exclamation of the person next to him attracted the attention of the two.

"What's going on?" Duan Tian asked as he approached.

The guard saw that it was the captain, and hurriedly said: "Captain, just now we carefully compared, and found that there were more than 20 bandits who fell here, and according to what the coachman said, these 20 people were all knocked down by the new guy, and that guy ran after the robbers." ”

Duan Tian looked at the dead bandits and said, "And these people are all fatal with one blow, it seems that I still underestimated Li Qiutong's strength before." ”

"Speaking of which, I just heard someone say who they were chasing. Lin Ai on the side recalled. "This Li Qiutong, is it really so powerful? He shouldn't have an accident if he goes after the robbers alone?"

"Miss Lin, don't worry, this person's strength should be much stronger than mine, and he must be sure that he will pursue the bandits, so I will take someone to the mountain pass to meet him. After Duan Tian arranged for someone to protect Lin Ai, he took some people to find him along the mountain road.
