Chapter 19: Invitations from Peers

"I didn't expect that the bandit boss and the leader of the mercenary group are both monks, and their cultivation is above me. After Xu Jingnian came in, he saw that no one noticed him, so he stood aside and watched the scene quietly.

"This bandit boss seems to be so arrogant, and his strength is okay, but who released the news and asked him to intercept us. The leader of the mercenary group also thought about it a little calmly, and soon found that this matter was definitely not simple. However, this is not the time to think about the problem, the top priority is to repel this group of bandits, and then quickly move the location, otherwise according to the current situation, it is obvious that more than one person is eyeing the goods of this rich merchant.

"Are you an anti-void monk?" The bandit boss also took advantage of the pause between the two of them who seemed to have discussed, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated slightly, but still asked the question in his heart.

"That's right. The leader of the mercenary group nodded and said, he also has a general idea of the cultivation of this bandit boss at this moment, but he is just a monk in the middle stage of the anti-void period, and there is a big gap with him. But Fang Cai was able to resist himself who was cultivating in the late stage of the anti-void, and he couldn't be underestimated.

"Hmph, that man actually cheated us, brothers, stop, let's withdraw. The bandit boss was still a little surprised when he heard the leader of the mercenary group admit it himself, even though he had been prepared for a long time, and then his face showed a trace of gloom, and he roared angrily, and immediately signaled the bandits to stop.

"Let's stop. The leader of the mercenary group saw that the bandit boss had already retreated, so he naturally would not stop it, and waved his hand to signal the members of the mercenary group under him to stop. The leader of the mercenary group saw very clearly that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the mercenary group, and since the news had already been released, it would definitely not be the only way to target the goods of this rich merchant.

"Boss, are we going to leave like this?" the members of the mercenary group and the bandits retreated to their respective positions, and some of the bandits said timidly. After all, the promise made to them by the boss at that time was really tempting, and it was inevitable to give up this operation.

"You kid, didn't you hear what the leader of the mercenary group just said? The leader of the mercenary group on the other side is a monk who is anti-hypocritical, and if the other party doesn't kill us, it can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness, so it is difficult to continue to stay and die. As soon as the man's words fell, a person beside him knocked heavily on his head, and said with some tears and laughter.

"Let's go. The bandit boss was also resolute, and immediately gave the order to withdraw. Even if the bandits were reluctant, they couldn't say anything, and they withdrew towards the door under the leadership of the bandit boss.

"I don't know who the source of the news is, but the number of people who know the news should be no less than ten people. Just after the bandit boss stepped out of the threshold with one foot, his footsteps suddenly paused, but he didn't look back, just slowly spit out these words, and then stepped out with the other foot, dragged the two people who were stunned by Xu Jingnian at the door onto the horse, and led the bandits towards his bandit camp.

"Brothers, go back and pack your luggage, this trip will not be easy, we will leave immediately. And Master Xue, you should also go and prepare. Seeing the bandits leaving, the leader of the mercenary group also said solemnly to the members of the mercenary group and the fat man. "There's Captain Lao Wu. After thanking the head of the Wu regiment, the rich merchant surnamed Xue ran back to his room and cleaned up.

"Boy, have you watched there for so long, have you seen enough?" When the members of the mercenary group and the wealthy businessman surnamed Xue were all leaving, then Regiment Leader Wu asked with a smile to Xu Jingnian, who had been leaning against the wall and watching all this.

"Xu Jingnian, a disciple of the Great Yan Sect's Thunder Peak, has seen Head Wu. Xu Jingnian saw that Head Wu noticed him, and he also stepped forward to salute.

"It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of the Great Yan Sect, disrespectful and disrespectful. After hearing about Xu Jingnian's identity, Head Wu's eyes immediately became respectful, and he hurriedly saluted Xu Jingnian. Although the Great Yan Sect is extremely domineering, and there are not a few sects that annex the sect, if ordinary monks like Commander Wu are allowed to choose, it is absolutely impossible to offend.

"Commander Wu, your heroic posture of retreating from the enemy just now is really amazing!" Xu Jingnian recalled Fang Cai's scene and praised. "Xu Jing's young man has a good reputation, I am an idle monk, how can I compare with the disciples of the Great Yan Sect, to be honest, I also hoped to worship under the Great Yan Sect, but unfortunately my strength was not good at that time, and I failed to do so. Head Wu shook his head, and then said, "By the way, Xu Jingnian young man, you are here, but what is your mission?"

"What Regiment Leader Wu said is right, my senior brothers and I are going to Qinghezhuang to carry out a mission, and we happen to stay here today, but I didn't expect to meet Fang Cai. Xu Jingnian said with a smile.

"Qinghezhuang? is so coincidental?" After hearing the word Qinghezhuang, Head Wu obviously showed joy and said excitedly. "Could it be that Head Wu is also going to Qinghezhuang on this trip?" Xu Jingnian was overjoyed when he saw President Wu, and he also understood in his heart. "Xu Jingnian is right, I took my mercenary group to escort Master Xue of Qinghezhuang back to Qinghezhuang with a batch of goods, but I didn't expect to be exposed, and this will be attacked by bandits. "Head Wu told Xu Jingnian the ins and outs of the matter.

"I see. After listening to the explanation of the head of Wu, Xu Jingnian finally knew what had happened.

"Xu Jingnian young man, I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, why don't we walk together, so we can take care of it!"

"Captain Wu, you want to tie us into a boat!" Xu Jingnian is so smart, how can he not understand what Captain Wu means. The so-called peers are just an excuse, if they are besieged by other bandits at that time, the four brothers of Xu Jingnian will naturally not be able to stand alone.
