You Wuliu brought back not a chicken, but a local dog, stewed a pot of meat to entertain guests, "I'm afraid that you are in a hurry, and you haven't gone too far, so you caught this." Now is not the time, and in a few days, there may be game to eat. ”

You Wuliu had good wine hidden in his house, and it was fragrant, and the four of them drank it very happily.

Soon after nightfall, Shen Qianyuan arrived with a few people, he seemed to be in a good mood, his face was full of spring breeze, and as soon as he entered the house, he said: "Okay, there's nothing to worry about, I've arranged everything." ”

The dog meat had been eaten, and only half a jar of wine was left, and Shen Qianyuan and the others each drank a bowl to quench their thirst.

Fan Dajian was more concerned about the competition, got up and asked, "Is the competition one or three?" ”

Shen Qianyuan glanced at You Wuliu, complained that he said too early, and then said: "One will be held in the Tiejiachang courtyard in Ximatun in the evening of the day after tomorrow." ”

Fan Dajian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you who are here to fight, right?" ”

Shen Qianyuan sighed lightly, "If it was a month ago, I would definitely go into battle in person, but now, there are more strong players among the strong, and I went to invite a master." ”

"Taller than you?"

Shen Qianyuan said with a smile: "Compared with him, my whole body is the kung fu of a three-legged cat." ”

Fan Dajian breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to make a joke, and said, "It's really not good, I'll go up and put another gun." ”

Everyone looked at him coldly, even Hu Guiyang and Yuan Mao were no exception, Fan Dajian knew that he had said the wrong thing, "The Heavenly Machine Technique is an instrument, and so is the Bird Gun, why can the Wen clan use it, but I can't use it?" You guys...... Okay, if I didn't say it, follow your rules. ”

Yuan Mao said: "Dare to ask which hero Shen Sange invited?" ”

"'Broken Claw Green Dragon' Mo Ai Mo Old Hero, has Yuan Gongzi heard of this person?"

Yuan Mao's eyes lit up, "Why didn't you say it?" According to rumors, when Yingzong was hunting in the north, he was once called to be a personal guard, but the old hero Mo did not catch up because he was in the south of the Yangtze River. Yingzong fell into the hands of captivity, and Mo Lao Hero deeply regretted it, so he went to the camp in the north alone to visit Yingzong, but unfortunately he couldn't bring people back to Sai, only brought back a letter. I heard that the old hero Mo had already retired to the countryside, but he didn't expect it to be near here. ”

Fan Dajian only noticed one thing, "Yingzong Northern Hunting? How old is this Broken Claw Green Dragon? ”

"Seventy, to say the least." Shen Qianyuan replied.

"A year younger than me." Fan Dajian shook his head, "But he is a person who practices martial arts, unlike us cultivators, who are skilled in appearance, but I am afraid that he will be old and weak, and he will not be able to compete in martial arts, right?" ”

Hearing that Lao Dao was one year older than the seventy-year-old Mo Ai, everyone was in awe, and Shen Qianyuan said with a straight face: "I have visited, the old hero is in good spirits, flexible in legs and feet, and his skills are only stronger than when he was young. ”

Several people who followed Shen Qianyuan out praised the old hero's bravery.

Fan Dajian had nothing to say.

Everyone shouted that they were hungry, and You Wuliu went to search around the house again, and actually found a few yams, and stewed the remaining dog meat soup into a pot, barely letting everyone eat half full, and the remaining half was filled with wine.

When he had almost eaten, Shen Qianyuan invited Hu Guiyang to talk outside.

"I won't go around in circles with you, Captain Hu, this incident is quite big, Mo Lao Hero has lived in seclusion for many years, I have tried my best to invite him, it is estimated that the news will spread soon, and the big hammer will definitely invite people of comparable status, this competition will definitely cause a sensation in the martial arts."

Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "I'm sorry, I haven't started to cooperate yet, and I have caused you such a big trouble." ”

"It's nothing, since we're out of the city, let's interact according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, without this trip, we don't know how long it will take for us to trust each other."

"Haha, that's right. Since you speak of trust, tell me the truth, how many people are chasing me now? ”

Shen Qianyuan was slightly stunned, "You...... Got it? ”

"Guan Dazi has a letter on him, and it is very clear in it, looking at the wording on the letter, it should not be just Guan Dazi alone."

Shen Qianyuan laughed twice, "I didn't say it before, because I didn't want Captain Hu to worry too much." ”

"Now that I'm out of town, I won't worry about that."

Shen Qianyuan laughed again, "It's that I'm thinking too much." Well, there is indeed a chase and kill order specifically against Captain Hu on the rivers and lakes, which was issued only yesterday, and it is not widely circulated at present, but there are five or six groups of people who have taken it. ”

"Who sent it?"

"Wenjiazhuang."

"The rise of the Wen clan is only two or three years, and it will be able to command the rivers and lakes?"

"The Wen clan has risen too fast, and its reputation has spread all over the world, and everyone says that the Wen clan's children are all half-human and half-immortal, and their swordsmanship is superb, and a golden pill can bring the dead back to life."

"So everyone is willing to exchange my head for a golden pill?"

"Who can't be impressed? To be honest, after learning the invisible swordsmanship, I also think it is unusual, of course, I don't believe in any 'half-human, half-immortal'. ”

"I can't smell it, I'm killed."

"I heard that the murderer used the same swordsmanship as the Wen family, and after the matter was publicized, everyone believed that the Wen family's swordsmanship was invincible in the world."

"The world is invincible." Hu Guiyang laughed, there were many crises ahead, but he was down-to-earth in his heart, "It's He Million who is making trouble again, tempting everyone to believe in fallacies, which is what he is good at." ”

"Yes, but we are not without a chance of winning, I persuaded Mo Lao Hero today, it is a big victory. Mo Lao Hero has a very high status in the rivers and lakes, and he is willing to stand up for you, and many people will give up receiving the hunt order after hearing about it. ”

"So we're now equivalent to fighting He Million."

"That's right." Shen Qianyuan clenched his fists, "He Million is a tricky guy, fortunately, it has been exposed, compared with before, we at least know who the enemy is, and we will not be controlled by others everywhere." From this moment on, I will no longer have anything to hide from Captain Hu, and we will really join forces to fight the enemy. ”

"Really." Hu Guiyang also clenched his fists, "Then I won't hide it, I believe that the key to chasing He Million lies in the He sisters and brothers, and finding the two of them is the most important thing at the moment." ”

"I'm also looking for it, tomorrow I will send more people to find out the news, but there are too few clues, the He sister and brother killed the place more than thirty miles south of Beijing, and after that, there is no trace of it."

"Didn't a few Xichang captains die under the sword of Third Sister He two days ago?"

Shen Qianyuan smiled: "That's what the city said? ”

"Hmm."

"This is not the same as the news I heard, it is true that the captain of Xichang went out of the city, but the person who killed them was not the He sister and brother, but the master of the Wen family. A total of five lieutenants and seventeen executioners were killed, and only one was released back into the city as a living mouth. ”

Hu Guiyang was taken aback, "It's this 'living mouth', after returning to Xichang, he claimed that the murderer was He Sanjie'er." ”

"I don't know why, but the rumors on the rivers and lakes are different, it stands to reason that there was only one living mouth left at that time, and the only one who could spread the news on the rivers and lakes was the murderer, and the He sisters and brothers did not show up for a long time, and the Wen family was left."

Hu Guiyang couldn't understand the reason for a while, so he simply didn't want to, "Where are you going tomorrow?" I'm with you. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not very safe, and although I can't hear it, although I am dead, there are still Wen children in this area. ”

"Wenjiazhuang claims to be unparalleled in swordsmanship, but he has issued chase and kill orders all over the place, letting others kill me, which means that they will not do it themselves." Hu Guiyang also didn't understand the reason, but only guessed that this must be part of He Million's plan.

"It's better to be careful."

"Haha, I really have to be careful, I might as well go back to the city and hide in the West Factory, where it is safest. No, no, what I want is not to be careful and safe, He Million's trick is similar to before, it must be to make me a demon and a god, and then do other conspiracies. The more I hid from anyone, the more I fell for his scheme. ”

Shen Qianyuan pondered for a moment, "You're right, but this time it's different, Wenjiazhuang wants to exchange the golden pill for your head, and many people have already taken it seriously, just like Guan Dazi, fortunately, you have a bird, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Then continue with the bird."

Shen Qianyuan saw that he was not convinced by Hu Guiyang, so he had to say: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to see Mo Lao Hero again, you go with me, but there is one thing to make clear, as long as I am here, you are not allowed to use the bird gun, that thing is infinitely powerful, but it is not welcomed in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Only the court eagle dog, and it is a timid and incompetent eagle dog, will use a bird gun." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

Shen Qianyuan nodded, "It's good that you understand, it's not that you can't use it, but don't use it easily, He Million is hiding in the rivers and lakes, if you want to find him, it's best not to offend the rivers and lakes." ”

"The lives of the three of us will be in your hands."

"As long as I'm alive, no one can touch the three of you." Probably thinking of the scene of his father's birthday on the night when he couldn't hear the scene of breaking into the door and killing people, Shen Qianyuan added, "If I die, you can let it go at will." ”

Early the next morning, when everyone went on the road, Hu Guiyang specially told Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian to wrap and hide the bird guns, and not to take them out again, let alone cast them.

Fan Dajian felt that it was very unsafe to do this, and quietly asked several times to confirm that Hu Guiyang really believed in Shen Qianyuan, and he reluctantly accepted such an arrangement, "But I will never hand over the bird gun to others, it must be kept in my own hands." ”

Fan Dajian was a Taoist priest, and since he had used the bird gun a few times, he trusted it more than the Lingji Palace spells.

Shen Qianyuan got a few horses and took Hu Guiyang and the others to set off first, and the others followed on foot.

The group marched to the southwest, getting farther and farther away from the capital, and soon in the afternoon, they came to Mo's house again.

The Mo family is a small manor, the villagers all live in the compound, and there is no one around, it is as difficult to find as the You family, and it is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

Broken Claw Qinglong Mo Ai is indeed a little old, but his steps are steady, and he is not tired at all, he personally greeted the gate of the manor, exchanged a few polite words with Shen Qianyuan, and looked directly at Hu Guiyang, "The person Wenjiazhuang wants is Your Excellency?" ”

"Exactly. The younger generation Hu Guiyang visited the old hero Mo. Hu Guiyang also has to be polite.

Mo Ai waved his hand, "You are an official, I am a people, and you can't be polite." I went out of the mountain this time to see Shen Qianyuan's face, and it has nothing to do with your Jinyiwei. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled, I don't know how to say it.

Mo Ai said to Shen Qianyuan again: "Ximatun has already found an opponent for me." ”

"Who?"

"Old acquaintances, old monsters with mountains and poplars."

This name had no meaning to Hu Guiyang, but the faces of Shen Qianyuan and the others changed, and even Fan Dajian looked surprised, "Yang Jiu, the monster behind the mountain, asked?" Isn't he a Taoist priest? After learning a few spells, when will you be able to do martial arts? ”

Mo Ai sighed lightly, "Since Wenjiazhuang came out, what is the difference between magic and martial arts?" ”
