In many places he went, he received this kind of courtesy, and there were also patriarchs who made offerings on behalf of his clansmen. It turned out that in the more than three months that he had followed Cangsha on his travels, not only what had happened in Feihong City had spread to all the cities, but even what had happened in Gongshan Village had already spread here.

Gongshan Village is located within the jurisdiction of Longma City, and this place is not far from the national capital, and the people of the villages along this avenue are of course the first to hear the news. Although they had never seen Baoyu, a teenager was walking alone with a sackcloth package on his back and a lively flower-tailed puppy, and his features were easily recognizable.

Many residents along the way were deeply honored and even excited to meet the "little gentleman" who was admired by all the people in the country. This made Baoyu feel very embarrassed, he didn't do anything for these people he didn't know, and these simple villagers gave him the best support, although maybe he didn't need it, but his heart was full of gratitude.

This is the main road leading to the border checkpoint in Ryoma City, and there are often military formations coming and going during the war, so it is flat and wide, allowing two horse-drawn carriages to travel in a staggered manner. Due to the important strategic position of this road, there are basically post stations in each village along the way, and there are sergeants on duty in the post stations.

Xiao Tian also noticed one thing, although Baoyu was very popular everywhere he went, and the sergeants in the post station would salute when they saw him, but then someone would drive away on fast horses and rush in the direction of the city and the national capital.

The sergeants at these stations had apparently been instructed to rush to the capital to report the news. But Baoyu didn't particularly care, he was just going his own way. On this day, not far from the border, he came to a very lively large village, which was called Xiubing Village.

The geographical location of the Truce Village is very special, it is the closest village to the border military camp. Where people gather, there are opportunities for trade, and in times of peace, caravans often come and go. It was not possible to open a shop in a barracks, so the nearest truce village to the border appeared in the most prosperous market in the vicinity.

Many soldiers also came here to buy and sell and exchange various goods when they were resting, and it was also a place for caravans to rest and distribute between the two countries, and caravans from the country of Bamuro and the country of Aimuro often traded directly here.

Baoyu walked along the avenue, and in front of him was already the gate of the Truce Village. Many vendors even set up their stalls on both sides of the road outside the gate, and many of the traders were soldiers on the border. These people saw Baoyu leading Xiaotian from a distance, and they all looked surprised, obviously thinking of the deeds of "Little Mister" that had recently spread in the country.

And Baoyu and Xiaotian also showed surprise, their perception was far sharper than ordinary people, and at this moment, they heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping and wheels rolling in the distance behind them, and there was more than one carriage. When I turned around, I could see the smoke and dust rising from the avenue, and I don't know what was extremely urgent, but the visitor had not slowed down when he approached the village.

The truce village has developed into a large market town in the era of peace for decades, but in wartime it was also a place for troops to be stationed behind the border defense line, so its layout is different from that of ordinary villages. In addition to the avenue that runs through the center of the village, there are forks in the road on both sides that can bypass the village, so that the mobilization of military formations in wartime can ensure that the people and horses are not chaotic.

Horses and chariots that had an urgent military situation in normal times, or caravans that did not intend to stay in the village, would also go around the village directly, without having to pass through the bustling flow of people in the village.

The galloping carriage, if there is really an urgent military situation can not be delayed, you can bypass the village on the fork on the right side of the front, you can see its momentum, that is, along the avenue straight to the gate of the village, or straight to Baoyu. The car at the front was light and luxurious, and Baoyu was now very knowledgeable, and he recognized the mark of the Xiangmu National Sect engraved on the body, which was the car that Gongzi was riding.

The daughter of the monarch is called the monarch, and the son of the monarch is generally called the son. It was a two-horse express car, and judging by the galloping speed of the horse, it was evident that it had just changed horses in the post station ahead. The driver seemed to be very confident in his imperial skills, and he had already seen the stalls and trading crowds on both sides of the avenue outside the gate in front of him, and he still rode his horse.

There was only one person in the car, and the costume should have been the owner of the car, the son, who drove the car himself, leaving the other two carriages far behind. How did Baoyu know that the other party was coming at him? Because when he saw the other party, he had already sensed that he was locked by the other party's divine sense, and the person who came was at least a monk from the four realms or above.

Locking a person with divine consciousness like this unscrupulously means that the weapon is attacking, and the magic weapon should arrive at the same time. Baoyu was a little puzzled, the other party's magic weapon didn't come over, only the carriage was still running wildly. If you change someone, you can be very alarmed. But Baoyu didn't mean to panic at all.

From childhood to the present, Baoyu has seen a lot of more exaggerated and thrilling scenes than this, including the rhino beast galloping wildly, the pig's head wrapped in red light, and even the horse with silver horns pierced closely, how could he be afraid of a carriage that was still seven feet away?

Baoyu didn't dodge, let alone retreat. For he was almost to the place where there were people, and the vendors on both sides of the road were standing up and saluting him, and there were many people buying things on the road behind him. Even if he has good skills and quick reflexes to dodge, he is worried that the other party will not be able to react, and he will still break into the crowd if he can't restrain his horse.

Sensing the moment he was locked by his divine sense, Baoyu did not retreat but advanced. He actually greeted the carriage, and his figure flashed to a distance of four feet. In this way, even if the other party can't stop the horse and hit him, it will not affect the others behind him, and Yibaoyu's ability can certainly stop a carriage.

......

The people outside the gate first saw Xiao Tian and Baoyu coming over, which should be the little gentleman who was rumored recently. The vendor in front of him had already stood up and saluted to ask, when the sound of galloping cars and horses was heard on the avenue. One carriage left the other two cars behind. rushed towards the gate at full speed, and everyone let out an exclamation.

At this time, I saw that the little gentleman suddenly dodged and rushed towards the carriage, and the young man who was driving actually stood up and raised his hand to hit something. This person didn't seem to have anything in his hand, only made a gesture of throwing things, but in mid-air, a pitch-black cloud that seemed to be so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, pouring down and wrapping the figure of the little gentleman.

Beyond the black clouds, another gray mist drifted away. It was instantly obscured from people's sight, but the last glance of everyone clearly saw that the carriage was about to crash into the little gentleman wrapped in black clouds, and everyone let out another exclamation.

Here are not only ordinary traders and village residents, but also well-trained elite warriors, some of whom are quick to react. Several big men had already rushed over, although they did not carry ordnance and weapons, they could help whether it was to save people or stop the car.

But the sergeants had just entered the gray mist beyond the black clouds. They fell to the ground.

Baoyu was a little strange just now, his body had been locked by his divine sense, but the other party's magic weapon did not come at the same time, it turned out that the people in the car were not using ordinary magic weapons, but a special secret treasure that could only be used once in most cases. This thing was refined by Meng Yingqiu's masters. It's called Soul Eater. The person who shot the soul-devouring smoke to Baoyu was Gong Lang, the brother of Gong Yuan.

......

Gong Lang got the news and drove after him all the way from the national capital, and changed horses at the post station where the sergeants were stationed along the way, in order to intercept and take Baoyu before he left the country. He didn't know what Xiling secretly guessed about Baoyu's identity, and he was convinced of his mother's inference.

If other people suspect Baoyu's identity, they may come to different conclusions, but in the eyes of Gong Lang, the "party", there is only one possibility of the "truth" of the matter, that is, this person was instructed by other forces in the country to set a conspiracy trap against Gong Yuan, and then wanted to spoil his big things.

Although Gong Lang hated Baoyu deeply, he heard that this person was a monk of the Four Realms and had extraordinary skills, and even Gongshan Xuan led two small groups of military formations to be kicked away, and his magical means must be amazing, and it was not so easy to take down. Therefore, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and made sufficient preparations before coming.

To deal with such a master on the Great Dao, you must not fight with him, it is best to subdue him as soon as he sees it, and take it away for torture immediately, before anyone else reacts, and even give the forces behind this person a chance to remedy. As a disciple of Meng Yingqiu, Gong Lang thought of the Soul Eater Smoke after thinking about it again and again, thinking that it was a foolproof method.

Soul devouring smoke is a secret treasure that can only be refined by several masters above the six realms in Meng Yingqiu, simulating a kind of miasma in the mountain, but it is much more powerful than the natural miasma qi, it can erode the human form and spirit, and the attack range is very large.

The gray mist that drifted away was a kind of smoke, once inhaled, it could poison people and make them unconscious, and the black cloud in the gray fog would invade the veins of the corpse as long as it was touched, and quickly erode people's spiritual energy and mana. For ordinary monks, they will even be abolished, and even if a powerful monk is touched by this black cloud, he must do his best to cast spells to resist its erosion, and he will lose his combat effectiveness on the spot.

It is also rare and disposable, and is not usually used in fighting between monks, but is more suitable for use on the battlefield where two armies clash. Sacrificed by monks above the four realms, it exploded in the opponent's army formation, and it could have amazing results when caught off guard.

However, the secret treasure of Soul Eater Smoke requires a large amount of collection of miasma qi in the mountains and condensed with ** force, which can only be made by masters above the Six Realms, and the process of collection and refining is also very dangerous, and there cannot be many of them. Because of the long-term worship of Meng Yingqiu, the Xiangmuro Kingdom asked for a batch from the fateful evil, which was in the hands of the soldiers in the country and the Cangzheng was responsible for preserving.

It is also regarded as an important war material in the country, and it will not be easily used unless it is a critical moment when the city or the national capital is breached.

Gong Lang not only as a son, but also as a disciple of Meng Yingqiu, "borrowed" a soul-devouring cigarette from the treasury. He also knew that this matter would alarm others in the country and even the king, and the king might send someone to chase him back, so he had to fight for a quick solution.

Gong Lang has an arrogant temperament, looking at his sister Gong Yuan's temper, he can probably know a thing or two, they are all raised by a mother. He acted more viciously, but he couldn't be considered an idiot, and he had already thought of a plan to take Baoyu. This place is not far from Meng Yingqiu, and after taking Baoyu, he immediately turned and went straight to Meng Yingqiu.

As long as he gets there, there are means to torture this "little gentleman", make him confess his identity and origin, as well as the forces in the country that instructed him behind the scenes, and more importantly, the truth of the conspiracy trap he laid.

Even if the monarch sent someone to chase after him, and the forces behind him planned to rescue this person, he would not be able to break into Meng Yingqiu. When Gong Lang examines the truth, then the overall situation has been decided, and he can successfully reverse the previous events. This "little gentleman" is now admired by everyone in the country, and if you want to deal with him, you must expose his true colors and expose his sinister intentions.

......

Gong Lang was very thoughtful, and the plan seemed foolproof, catching up with Baoyu before he was about to enter the truce village, and raised his hand to shoot the Soul Eater Smoke. When he made his move, Baoyu was still seven zhang away, and as soon as the soul-devouring smoke came out, Baoyu had already arrived in front of the carriage. At this time, it was seen that the magic of the imperial weapon technique was evident, and Baoyu had been locked by his divine sense, and the soul devouring smoke naturally followed, exploding and pouring above his head.

Gong Lang's method is very exquisitely controlled, and he is even satisfied with it, this is not a way to let the clouds disperse when the army is fighting, but to gather the black clouds and only swallow Baoyu alone, and the gray fog disperses to cover the sight of everyone in the distance, and also prevent others from meddling in their affairs.

The vendors, soldiers and civilians in the distance only saw the little gentleman dodge and rush towards the carriage, and his body was immediately wrapped in a black cloud, and he was about to be hit by the carriage again. Then a gray mist drifted away to obscure the view, and several agile sergeants rushed over, only to fall three feet away. Immediately after that, a piece of blue light passed, the gray mist dispersed, and five colors of light swept out, and the black cloud also disappeared in the light.

When the group saw the little gentleman again, he had already boarded the carriage, and the little dog had run over and jumped into the carriage. Then the carriage turned and drove into the side fork, and let the horses gallop around the truce and go away. The few sergeants who had just fallen to the ground slowly got up, and in the middle of the fork in the road lay another person, it was the boy who had just been driving.

The other two carriages were Gong Lang's accompanying guards, they had just arrived at this moment, of course the car could not step on Gong Lang's body, the guards quickly stopped and jumped down, someone knelt on the ground and exclaimed: "Gong Lang was killed by the man who was just there!" Looking at Gong Lang's chest, there was a wound that was an inch square through the body, and there was a radial scorch mark on the edge of the wound, but there was no trace of blood.

The guards followed Gong Lang, and their duty was to protect this son, and when they saw Gong Lang's corpse at this moment, they felt like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, kneeling there and not knowing what to do. Many soldiers and civilians outside the gate saw what had happened, but no one could see how Gong Lang died, because everyone's view was blocked.

When the guards came to their senses, it felt like the sky was about to fall. In fact, the death of Gong Liang is really not to blame them, this son's car is light and fast, and he insists on leaving all the guards behind, he is conceited and has a superb cultivation and a secret treasure, and he will be able to take down the little gentleman in person, but he lost his life in a blink of an eye.

Gong Liang died, of course, the guards are responsible, but what should they do when the matter has come to this point, they began to discuss in a panic, whether to divide into two teams? One group escorted Gong Liang's body back to report to the monarch, and the other team went to hunt down the "murderer".

As soon as he moved Gong Liang's body into a car, he saw smoke and dust rising on the avenue, and then he heard the sound of cars and horses galloping, and two more cars came in the distance. Before the car got closer, I heard someone shouting, "Where is Gongzi Gongliang?"

The captain of Gong Liang's guard, who was also a monk of the Three Realms, recognized this voice and shouted with a crying voice: "General Xinyue, Gongzi Gong Liang has been killed!"

Hearing an exclamation, a figure leaped up from the galloping carriage, and fell close like a big bird gliding, and it was the general of Zhenguo Xinyue. Xinyue saw Gong Liang lying on the carriage at a glance, and when his divine sense swept over, he knew that he was dead, and the round wound that ran through his back from his chest should have been pierced by a magic weapon with electric light, and he obviously died from fighting the law.

Xinyue's head buzzed, and she suddenly felt that her head had become big. His status in the phase room ** is second only to Lord Bingzheng, and he is also a master of the five realms and eight turns, and he has been familiar with the situation around the border for many years. Therefore, the monarch is in a hurry, so he will order Xinyue to chase Gong Liang in person, if he changes someone, I am afraid that he will not be sure and dare not arrest Gong Liang back like this.

Xinyue actually doesn't like Gong Liang, and even hates this person in her heart. He had just been promoted to the rank of general of Zhenguo. A few years ago, the army was stationed at the border, and Gong Liang's car often went in and out of the border gates, and the soldiers guarding the customs not only had to be released on the spot, but even the routine checks had to be reprimanded.

Even if he is the son of a king, he cannot enter or leave the border without permission. must be interrogated, but Gong Liang is a disciple of Meng Yingqiu, and the sergeant guarding the pass is not good to say anything.

Meng Yingqiu is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Xiangmuro, Zheng and Ba, and it is also a place where there is no military formation on the border, and there is no need for it. Because Meng Yingqiu is not only a well-known forbidden place for the great sects, but also a group of peaks and steep mountains. It is impossible for the army to pass.

Theoretically, the borders of the Three Kingdoms converge in the dojo of Meng Yingqiu's sect, and Meng Yingqiu's disciples usually walk around as if they were entering and exiting the borders of various countries, as if they were another country alone. But how they move inside their own mountain gate is another matter, and the border army can't control it, it's like some kind of tacit sneaking. However, Gong Liang's car driver often swaggered back and forth to the border military checkpoints, but did not accept the interrogation. It made the general of the border at that time very disgusted.

Miyara likes to hunt, of course, he can't always mess around in the clan's hunting garden. The mountains around Meng Yingqiu are undulating, and it is also a good place for hunting and playing. Gong Liang likes to invite a group of fellow doors, gallop through the mountains and wilderness to chase birds and beasts, and use all kinds of magical powers for fun, so he often goes in and out of the border.

To make matters worse, sometimes he went on a safari outside the border gates. In advance, he ordered the driver to leave the country to pick him up, and his car must not be stopped. At first, the sergeant guarding the pass would ask a few questions, but then he was always scolded and reprimanded, so he stopped asking.

As a matter of fact, other Meng Yingqiu disciples often come and go in and out of the border pass, and as long as the reason is explained, the defenders will not stop them, but they always have to stop and be interrogated, and ask them about their identities, where they are coming from, where they are going, and why they are crossing the border pass. I haven't seen anyone like Miyaliang walking through the horse at will.
