Chapter 37: Shen Gongzi

The more Mao Wenlong understood Ye County, the more he felt that something was wrong, and now his confidence began to waver. I don't know if it's good or bad for me to choose to come to Henan Mansion under such circumstances?

There was no turning back from the bow, and it was obviously impossible to choose another place after all the hardships to get here. Ye County saw that it was coming, and Mao Wenlong didn't want to give up his efforts.

After a short rest in Ye Village, Mao Wenlong and his party moved forward again. According to Shen Qing, if it goes well, he will be able to reach the end point 'Shenjia Town' in the evening today.

Although it is hard to travel in the sun, but seeing that you are about to reach the end, this hard work is not enough to worry about.

After leaving Yejia Village, he was still walking on the desolate wilderness, except for the deserted Yejia Village, there were no villages nearby at all.

Successive years of drought have turned this originally fertile land into a wilderness, and the people fled and walked, making this originally prosperous land become a red land for thousands of miles!

Walking on the bare road, the heat wave was coming, and Mao Wenlong was already soaked with sweat. Wiping the sweat on his face with the towel coiled around his neck, Mao Wenlong looked up slightly at the still vicious sun, and said irritably: "How long is it?" ”

Shen Qing was also sweating profusely, frowning and estimating for a moment before replying: "There are still about five miles to reach the outskirts of Shenjia Town." ”

As they spoke, everyone had already ascended from the trail to the wide official road, and the much smoother official road was obviously much easier to walk than the rugged path.

Mao Wenlong stopped inking, and immediately asked everyone to speed up the horse, and the horse galloped fast, at least a little wind. The wind was still hot, but it was better than nothing.

After running for a while, a small woodland appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the official road passed through it. After a long day of driving under the sun, everyone will be thirsty.

In order to prevent some of them from becoming dehydrated or suffering from heat stroke, Mao Wenlong decided to temporarily stop in the woodland in front of him to rest, so that everyone and the horses could rehydrate.

No one had an opinion on Mao Wenlong's proposal, so everyone immediately sped up again, hoping to arrive as soon as possible to take a break.

As they got closer and closer to the woodland, Mao Wenlong and the others soon saw that under the shade of the trees in front of them, there was actually a horse team stopping.

The sudden appearance of a horse team of nearly 100 people in this wilderness made Mao Wenlong immediately vigilant. He didn't hesitate, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to slow down the horse, and then motioned to Chen Jisheng to take someone forward to check first.

After Chen Jisheng received the order, he took Haoda and Hao to trot to everyone, checked the weapons on his body a little, and after finding no problems, he rode his horse and galloped away.

When he got closer, Chen Jisheng found that this horse team turned out to be a merchant team. More than a dozen carriages were loaded with goods, and in addition to the horsemen who were driving the carriages, there were nearly a hundred men escorting them.

The arrival of Mao Wenlong and his group of more than a dozen people obviously made the caravan very vigilant. When Chen Jisheng went to investigate, nearly 100 big men consciously lined up to protect the carriage full of goods.

Seeing this, Chen Jisheng felt a lot more relieved, judging from the reactions of these people, it would definitely not be bandits or thieves. After confirming that some people were just caravans, Chen Jisheng immediately turned his horse's head and went back to report to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong could already see the reaction of the horse team, and saw that he was vigilant enough about the arrival of himself and others. Like Chen Jisheng, he was not associated with bandits.

At this time, a brown-haired scholar in the caravan walked out of the woodland, raised his eyes and looked at Mao Wenlong and the others who were gradually approaching.

When Shen Qing saw this scholar, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Shen Shangxuan! ”

Mao Wenlong looked at Shen Qing suspiciously: "Do you recognize this person?" ”

Shen Qing had already gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Don't you know, he is Shen Shangxuan, the son of the Shen family." It's my mother-killing enemy! ”

Shen Qinghui has fallen to the point where it is today, and it has a direct relationship with Shen Shangxuan in front of him. The head of the Shen family is already in his prime, and the power in the clan has been handed over to this Shen family.

As soon as Shen Shangxuan took the position, he began to clean up the people he didn't like. And anyone who might threaten his power will be framed or ostracized for all sorts of reasons.

Shen Qing is obviously one of these victims, and for Shen Shangxuan, Shen Qing wants to kill him in his dreams.

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky, Shen Qing recognized Shen Shangxuan. The latter naturally also recognized Shen Qing, and this enemy would definitely be red-eyed when he saw him.

It seems that it is impossible to rest in Ansheng, and after thinking about it again, Mao Wenlong still decided not to stay, so as not to cause trouble when the two sides fight.

Mao Wenlong explained that Shen Qing must be patient and not allow any conflict with Shen Shangxuan. Then he wanted everyone to continue on his journey, he didn't want to cause trouble, but some people refused to let Mao Wenlong go easily.

I saw that Shen Shangxuan stared at Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan with straight eyes, his face was full of lustful expressions, and he almost drooled out.

At this time, Mao Wenlong and the others were just about to urge the horses through the woodland, but Shen Shangxuan suddenly shouted to his subordinates: "Surround it, no one is allowed to leave." ”

Hula, all of a sudden, dozens of men armed with big knives rushed up and surrounded Mao Wenlong and others.

Shen Shangxuan slowly stepped forward with a sinister smile, stretched out his hand to point at Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and said extremely arrogantly: "Leave these two women, this son can let you pass here safely, otherwise...... Hum! ”

After Shen Shangxuan saw Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, he immediately had the idea of taking it for himself. Later, I saw that there were only about a dozen people on Mao Wenlong's side, which could not be compared with dozens of his subordinates at all.

Mao Wenlong immediately sank his face, and the fierce eyes of the tiger shot directly at Shen Shangxuan's body, showing his killing intent without reservation.

Women are definitely Mao Wenlong's reverse scales, and whoever touches them is unlucky. As soon as Shen Shangxuan opened his mouth, he committed Mao Wenlong's greatest fear.

"You must disappear immediately in front of me, or you will be killed." Mao Wenlong responded in a dark voice.

"Hahaha...... How dare you threaten this son! ”

Shen Shangxuan laughed arrogantly, as if what Mao Wenlong had just said was ridiculous, and his performance was extremely disgusting.

"Tell you, this son is the current patriarch of the Shen family, if you know each other, you will obediently do what I say, otherwise you will ......."

"Otherwise, what can you do to me?" Mao Wenlong was amused by Shen Shangxuan's arrogance.

"Otherwise, you will be splattered with blood on the spot, and you will become a lonely ghost outside this wilderness!" Shen Shangxuan didn't notice Mao Wenlong's cold face at all, and arrogant words burst out of his mouth again.
