Chapter 21: The Horse Thief
In Qingshan Town, there is peace and calm.
However, when you walk out of Qingshan Town, you may encounter danger at any time.
Danger comes from a fierce beast that comes out of the mountains and forests, or it comes from a horse thief roaming around.
On the way from Qingshan Town to Ningping Town, there are often horse thieves lurking on one side, waiting for opportunities to block the road and rob money and sex.
It's not just women who may be robbed, but also some good-looking and pretty teenagers.
Between Thanh Shan Town and Ninh Binh Town, there is a road that must be passed, which requires passing through a barren mountain forest.
This is also the place where horse thieves are most frequented.
And now, there is a small group of horse thieves, lurking in the mountains and forests on the side of the road, waiting for an opportunity.
"Second master, I heard that your cultivation has recently entered the country...... It won't be long before you're ready to get into the double of gathering energy, right?"
Scarred middle-aged man sitting on a tall horse asked the young man led by a smile.
The young man at the head, like the five behind him, was dressed in a black suit, wearing a hat on his head, and a cloak woven of bamboo and grass on his back, as if he was integrated with the surrounding mountains and forests.
Under his seat was a horse that was a head taller than the tall horse ridden by the five people behind him, and his whole body was red, as if it was stained with blood, and it was a 'sweat and blood horse'.
Sweat and blood BMW, can travel thousands of miles a day, is the best among horses, known as the "king of horses" reputation.
In the market, just a sweaty BMW cub can be sold for a thousand taels of silver.
As for the adult sweat BMW, it is very arrogant, few people can tame it, and most adult sweat BMW, even if they hit their head to death, will not be willing to be tamed.
"Within three months, I will enter the double of gathering qi!"
The young man's grim face revealed a strong sense of confidence, and his eyes shone with a bright light.
"Three months later, you will only be twenty-six years old. β
Another middle-aged horse thief with a sturdy figure couldn't help but sigh, "Before the age of thirty, he has entered the double ...... of gathering qi In the area around Qingshan Town, in recent decades, the second master should be the first martial arts monk who is less than thirty years old to enter the double qi gathering. β
"In the area around Qingshan Town, in recent decades, the first martial arts monk who is less than thirty years old has stepped into the double qi gathering?"
However, hearing the flattery of his subordinates, the young man shook his head, and a young man's figure appeared in his mind at the right time.
Although he was a horse thief, the people who had seen him were usually dead.
Therefore, he often changed his clothes, went to Qingshan Town to hang out like an ordinary person, and while buying some things, he went to Yunxuan Restaurant for a meal.
The delicacies in Yunxuan Restaurant are not something that can be eaten in the wilderness outside Qingshan Town.
Therefore, even if he doesn't usually need to buy anything, he basically goes to Qingshan Town once a month, just to go to Yunxuan Restaurant for a meal.
A few days ago, he went to Qingshan Town as usual.
And he will never forget that day.
Outside the gate of the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, he watched the excitement like the people around him, and witnessed with his own eyes that a sixteen-year-old boy killed the bloody man Tu 'Wang Yukun', who had been famous in the vicinity of Qingshan Town for many years.
Moreover, it was a palm that killed Wang Yukun!
"Zhou Donghuang. β
That day, he remembered the name.
Even if he won't have any intersection with the other party in this life, he will never forget this name.
"My talent, in front of him, is just a joke. β
The young man sighed.
"Second master, a carriage is coming!"
Just as the young man was still thinking about the incredible scene he had seen a few days ago, a voice from behind him woke him up again.
He looked up and saw a horse-drawn carriage in the distance coming from the direction of Qingshan Town, moving very fast.
"Second master, do you want to do it?"
Just as another man was questioning the young man, on the other side of the road, a party of ten horse thieves rode out, stopped the carriage, and surrounded it.
"It's those guys from Black Tiger Village!"
Scar's middle-aged man frowned, "It seems that today's harvest will be divided into half for them again." β
Black Tiger Village is another horse thief camp.
The rules of the horse thief road are that once two or more horse thief teams encounter a prey at the same time, the final harvest will be divided equally among everyone.
And at this moment, the middle-aged coachman on the carriage that stopped had already shouted to a group of horse thieves surrounding the carriage: "Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of our Yunxuan Restaurant is sitting in my car, please make it convenient." β
"The owner of Yunxuan Restaurant?"
In the mountains and forests, the five people behind the young man riding a sweaty and bloody BMW changed color in unison, "Is that Zhao Sanye?"
The owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, 'Zhao San', is an unprovoked existence even in the eyes of a group of horse thieves around Qingshan Town.
"Is it him?!"
However, unlike the reaction of the five people behind him, the young man's pupils shrank slightly, and the figure of the young man resurfaced in his mind.
A few days ago, he went to Qingshan Town, only to learn that Zhao San, the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, had left Qingshan Town, and before he left, he gave Yunxuan Restaurant to a teenager named 'Zhou Donghuang'.
At first, he only knew that Zhou Donghuang was the son of Lin Lan, the president of the Yulan Chamber of Commerce in Qingshan Town.
And when he was about to leave Qingshan Town, he was at the gate of the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce and witnessed the scene of Zhou Donghuang killing Wang Yukun.
"Zhao Sanye?!"
The group of horse thieves surrounding the carriage also changed greatly when they heard the coachman's words.
The sturdy man at the head dismounted for the first time, bowed to the carriage and arched his hand, "The second master of the Black Tiger Village, 'Qian Tongtian', has seen the third master." β
"I've seen the third master. β
And the other horse thieves around the carriage also dismounted and saluted the carriage.
This posture frightened the middle-aged man who acted as a coachman's face changed slightly, and he took a few deep breaths before his emotions calmed down.
"Huh?"
Seeing that he had said hello for a long time, and there was no movement in the carriage, Qian Tongtian's brows furrowed, and then he spoke again, "Third master, according to the rules of the road...... Please come out and see you again. β
A horse thief who licks blood on the edge of a knife is not so easy to be bluffed.
Just like now.
If it was really Zhao San inside, and they saw it with their own eyes, they would have fun and leave.
Otherwise, if a random person pretends to be Zhao San, will they return in vain?
"This is the master. β
At this time, the middle-aged man who acted as a coachman said to Qian Tongtian: "Don't you know? Yunxuan Restaurant has changed owners a few days ago...... The current master is not Zhao Sanye, but our young master Zhou Donghuang. β
"Yunxuan Restaurant has changed owners?"
Qian Tongtian was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "You said that Yunxuan Restaurant changed its owner, so it changed its owner? Who doesn't know, since the establishment of Yunxuan Restaurant, the owner has always been Zhao Sanye." β
"I'd like to hear it...... Your young master, what is the origin that can make Zhao Sanye give him the most profitable industry in Qingshan Town, Yunxuan Restaurant. β
At this moment, the jealousy in Qian Tongtian's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a cold color.
In the mountains and forests, the other team of horse thieves who heard the conversation between the middle-aged coachman and Qian Tongtian, except for the young man who led them, everyone else shook their heads.
"It turned out that it wasn't Zhao Sanye...... However, this coachman is really naΓ―ve, thinking that if he says this, he can bluff the money?"
Scar said disdainfully.
"Second master, let's go out too. It's too late, and the meat will be eaten up by these guys in Black Tiger Village. β
Another horse thief said to the young man in charge.
"Sure enough, it was him. β
Hearing the words of the middle-aged coachman, the young man was completely sure that the person in the carriage was the boy who had made him unforgettable.
"The second master?"
The other horse thieves also began to urge the young man.
"If you don't want to die, stay honest. β
The young man scolded.
"Second master, you are ......"
Scar middle-aged and a few other horse thieves looked dazed, and couldn't figure it out at all, why did their Qingwolf Village, the second leader who has always been vigorous and resolute, suddenly become timid today?
"Just look at it...... Money is all over the world, and it's going to be bad luck. β
The young man's eyes narrowed, and a sneer tugged at the corners of his mouth.
The other side.
Seeing that a group of horse thieves around the carriage got back on the horse and stared at him, the middle-aged coachman hurriedly took out the bell from his arms and threw it into the carriage.
"Ding...... Clang...... Ding-bell-ding-bell......"
The bell hit the ground, and a crisp sound sounded.
"What's the matter, you're throwing the bell to your young master?"
Qian Tongtian grinned, and the saber in his hand had already been raised, ready to give orders for his group of horse thieves to attack.
"Hahaha......"
A group of horse thieves around the carriage couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Qian Tongtian's words.
Hearing the sound of the bell, Zhou Donghuang had already woken up from his cultivation.
"It's just a little bit closer, and you can break through to the gathering of energy...... It's a pity that it was interrupted. If I don't get interrupted, I can complete the breakthrough in half an hour at most. β
Inside the carriage, Zhou Donghuang's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water, "Now that it is interrupted, it will take at least half a day before it is possible to break through." β
Crash!
Pulling back the curtain in front of the carriage, Zhou Donghuang walked out.
"Young Master. β
The middle-aged guard who drove the carriage saluted Emperor Zhou Dong respectfully, and then said: "These horse thieves, I don't believe that the young master is the new owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, I can't do anything about them, so I ......"
"yes, I see. β
Zhou Donghuang nodded understandingly, and when his eyes fell on the front at the right time, he was slightly stunned, "Sweaty BMW?"
The team of horse thieves in Black Tiger Village, led by the second leader Qian Tongtian, is also a sweaty horse.
"You are the new owner of Yunxuan Restaurant?"
Seeing Zhou Donghuang come out, the smile on Qian Tongtian's face became brighter and brighter, but his eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
In his opinion, just this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he can crush him to death with a single finger!
"It seems that you are the head of these horse thieves. β
Zhou Donghuang stepped out of the carriage and came to the front of the carriage, his cold gaze fell on Qian Tongtian's body, "Do you know...... You, disturbing my cultivation?"
