Volume 1 Chapter 521 Assassination Again
Holding the reins tightly in his hand, Zhang Bantang controlled his horse with his eyes and walked slowly along the winding mountain road back to Linshi City.
It was already the afternoon of the second day of his arrival on Panshan Road, and he was about to return to Linshi City.
It's just that until now he hadn't figured out who the person who had turned his room into a mess before.
In fact, he was also a little sensitive to those people, so he immediately returned to the restaurant, but did not see the old man again, and the dinner he ordered for the old man had not yet been served.
The old man was supposed to be in the same league as the people who were flipping through his room, the old man's purpose was to attract Zhang's attention, while the others were looking for what they wanted in his room.
This is also why, when he sees that he is about to leave the table, the old man will deliberately keep him, which is probably to buy time for his teammates.
It's just that what makes Zhang Bantang puzzled is that he still doesn't know what those people are trying to find.
It stands to reason that what these people want to look for must be related to the conclusion drawn by Zhang Bantang from his inspection of the mountain road, but Zhang Bantang has already walked the entire mountain road at this time, and he is even about to return to Linshi City, but he has not found anything wrong.
In other words, there must be a problem that can be found somewhere, and this problem can be directly used as evidence to prove Zou Chang's corruption.
Zhang Bantang turned his head to look at the winding mountain road that he had already walked, and frowned slightly.
If this is really the case, then what he needs to do now is probably not to spend time walking the winding mountain road again, but to hurry back to Linshi City to meet Ren Tianxiang and them, and then tell Ren Tianxiang the news.
If Ren Tianxiang can be asked to investigate this matter in person, then I am afraid that the problems on this winding mountain road will be solved.
Zhang Bantang didn't know why he trusted Ren Tianxiang who was not this major at all, anyway, he just felt that as long as he had Ren Tianxiang, any problem could be solved.
Instigating the reins, Zhang Bantang made his horse go faster, and he needed to return to Linshi City as soon as possible to join Ren Tianxiang and them.
As he advanced, there were fewer and fewer people on the winding mountain road, and when he finally reached the last ten kilometers of the winding mountain road, Zhang Bantang was the only one left on the entire winding mountain road.
It's just that Zhang Bantang walked on the road, and all he thought about the possible problems on the winding mountain road was in his mind, and he didn't notice the problems on the winding mountain road.
After walking another five kilometers, there was only five kilometers left from the entrance and exit of Linshi City on Panshan Road, and Zhang Bantang could even see the ridge on which the entrance and exit of Linshi City depended from here.
It was at this time that Zhang Bantang finally discovered that something was wrong - he was the only one left on the entire road, and the caravan pedestrians who came out of Linshi City or went to Linshi City were nowhere to be found.
Zhang Bantang immediately became vigilant, and the spiritual power of his whole body was activated, ready to fight at any time.
Linshicheng Panshan Road is a commercial artery in Xifeng Province, usually on this road even if it is late at night, there will be people in a hurry and rush with lights, there will never be no one on the road - even if there is only this section of the road is impossible!
Zhang Bantang once again stirred the reins and let his horse run, and now that he sensed that something was wrong, he had to leave here and go to a crowded place.
And it was at this time that he heard the wind.
The trees on both sides of the road were blown by this gust of wind, and the leaves fell one after another, and they were driven by this gust of wind and flew in the air.
Zhang Bantang's eyelids jumped, as if something unusual was about to happen, and his intuition sensed a sense of crisis coming to him.
Without hesitation, Zhang Bantang took out the talisman given to him by Wang Hongyu from his storage ring, and prepared to crush this talisman.
But just as his arm was about to exert force, a vision suddenly appeared, and hundreds of leaves that were blown to his side by the wind suddenly straightened, like a sharp blade, directly towards Zhang Bantang.
Zhang Bantang shouted in his heart, but his movements couldn't keep up with his consciousness, and everything was too late.
What is it about this winding mountain road? Zou Chang does not hesitate to kill himself in public, but also hides it?
Are you really going to die here today?
He clearly saw a leaf stabbing towards his eye, but Zhang Bantang couldn't react.
In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary demon-level monk, and even a monk in the realm may not be able to win, let alone meet a stronger monk.
Under the influence of the other party, Zhang Bantang's consciousness became active, but his movements couldn't keep up with his consciousness at all, and at this time, he couldn't even control his hands to crush the talisman.
Ren Tianxiang was still a step behind before, he originally thought that with Zhang Bantang's strength, even if he met an immortal-level monk, he would not be so easily suppressed, at least he had time to crush the talisman and wait for Wang Hongyu to arrive.
But at this time, the person Zhang Bantang met couldn't even crush the talisman in his hand at the first step!
Those who have always come should have seen that this talisman is not simple and can attract a lot of foreign aid, so they will first restrain Zhang Bantang and prevent him from crushing it.
Seeing the leaves getting tighter and tighter away from him, Zhang Bantang wailed in his heart.
If he dies here, he won't be able to fulfill his father's wish to stay......
If he dies here, Ren Tianxiang doesn't know when he will be able to detect the problem on the winding mountain road.
This Zou Chang must have been calculated...... Perhaps from the time he followed Lord Kou Zhemao to Linshi City, Zou Chang had already calculated all the follow-ups.
It looks like it's really going to die today......
I don't know when, Zhang Bantang has slowly closed his eyes, and when facing his death, his mood is unusually calm.
Perhaps as a procurator who has been running around all year round, he has already prepared to die in his heart.
It's just a pity that he hasn't found out what is wrong with the mountain road......
A clanging sound of metal colliding came from in front of him, and he waited left and right without waiting for the flying leaves to hit his body.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the person standing in front of him.
I saw that Los was standing in front of him at some point, holding his ornate spear in his hand.
Under his defense, none of those tossed leaves could break through his defenses and hurt Zhang Bantang.
And behind Zhang Bantang, there is Ren Tianqing, who is also holding a spear, her marksmanship is by no means below Los Angeles, although she only has a ghost-level cultivation, but in the face of the overwhelming leaves, she has no panic.
In the end, all those leaves were shot down by the two of them, and Ren Tianqing and Los were back-to-back to sandwich Zhang Bantang in the center.
At this time, Los turned his head to look at Zhang Bantang and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Huh...... Nope!"
was suddenly rescued by Los and Ren Tianqing, Zhang Bantang didn't expect it at all, and after hearing Los Rose's question, he was stunned for a moment before hurriedly answering.
"It's good that there are no injuries. Los turned his head back again, stared at the woods on the left side of the winding mountain road, and said, "Qing'er, you protect Lord Zhang." ”
Hearing Luos's order, Ren Tianqing frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
"Naturally, there is no problem. Los turned his head and smiled at Ren Tianqing and Zhang Bantang, and said contemptuously, "It's just a saint-level, and it can't get to me." ”
And the moment his words fell, he turned into a streamer of light and instantly burrowed into the woods.
Immediately after, there was a sonorous sound of metal colliding in the woods, and at the same time, more leaves fell from the branches, heading towards Ren Tianqing and Zhang Bantang.
Ren Tianqing's eyes became solemn, he didn't expect that the saint-level monk would still have the strength to fight against him in the face of Los Angeles.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Ren Tianqing's mouth suddenly outlined a slight arc.
In the middle of that, she grabbed Zhang Bantang's arm and pulled it behind her, and then the tip of her spear was raised, and the spiritual power containing the fire element was condensed on the tip of the spear.
The tip of the spear waved, and the flames burned in the air, and the leaves that were slightly faster were instantly burned into ashes by the heat, and this was nothing, under the invasion of the flames, like a chain reaction, the flying leaves were burned into ashes one after another.
The monk who manipulated the leaves also seemed to have noticed the strangeness of the flames, so he immediately separated the unburned leaves from the leaves that had been contaminated with flames, and then bypassed Ren Tianqing and continued to attack Zhang Bantang.
From the very beginning, the target of this killer was Zhang Bantang, and he has never changed this!
It's just that Ren Tianqing naturally knows that Zhang Bantang is the target of the killer, so how can he not have a follow-up?
I saw Ren Tianqing turn sideways slightly, her left hand opened into a palm, and the palm of her hand became an outlet for her spiritual power, and the majestic spiritual power containing the fire element burst out from her palm and surrounded Zhang Bantang's body.
The flames formed a barrier around Zhang Bantang, and no matter how the leaves collided, as soon as they touched this layer of flames, they would immediately be burned into ashes. And Zhang Bantang was in this flame, but it was as if he couldn't feel the temperature at all, although he was still a little nervous, but he was completely out of the scared look just now.
And seeing Ren Tianqing again, she seemed to have completely ignited her fighting spirit, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the battle of Los in the woods, as if she would rush to help as long as she saw that Los had fallen to the bottom of the wind.
But just like Los said, it's just a mere saint level, and he can't get on him!
