The next day, the sun rises and everything revives.

In a small forest a hundred miles away from the imperial city, birds and insects chirped everywhere.

Zhang Tian, who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, stopped his exercises, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Shaochun on the side also seemed to have sensed it, and also withdrew from cultivation.

The two of them ran wildly along the official road all night, until Shaochun's spiritual power was exhausted, and then they rested in this forest to recover their spiritual power.

"Young master, it's all my fault that my cultivation is too low and I have delayed my trip..."Shao Chunbian said flatly.

"Hehe, it's okay, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to come out this time, it's not a moment or a half." Zhang Tian waved his hand, patted his ass and stood up.

"There seems to be a sound of water in the woods, I'll go over and see if I can catch a fish for breakfast, you can wait here."

"I'll go with you!" Shaochun hurriedly got up and caught up with Zhang Tian's footsteps, she didn't want to leave the young master's side.

Sure enough, at a distance of about a hundred meters, the two saw a clear stream.

The creek was supposed to be a river, but now it is almost completely disappearing due to years of drought.

Zhang Tian's eyes lit up, he quickly took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs, drew out his long sword and jumped into the stream.

The weather in September was still very hot, and the cold stream made Zhang Tian feel excited, and he suddenly sobered up a lot.

"Chun'er, you also took off your shoes and came down, but it's comfortable!"

Shaochun looked at the sparkling water surface and became interested, and quickly took off his shoes and walked into the stream.

"Young master, it's so comfortable, why is this water so cool?"

Shaochun carried the hem of her skirt, revealing a snowy calf, and her white feet were eye-catching in the water.

"It is estimated that the source of this water will come from the ground, and I will insert a fish and roast it for you, young master!" Zhang Tian held the sword and looked down carefully.

Suddenly, a splash appeared on the surface of the water, Zhang Tian's eyes condensed, and the pale golden sword qi lingered around the tip of the sword, like a lightning 'poof' shot into the water!

The clear water was faintly pink, and a grass carp floated up with its white belly, only to see a wound about two centimeters long that pierced its body.

Zhang Tian hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch the fish, grabbed the fish in his hand, and looked at Shaochun, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "What's the matter, handsome or not!?" ”

"Handsome! The young master is the most handsome! Shaochun smiled all over her face, and kept clapping her little hands in agreement.

"You go pick up some branches, and I'll take care of the fish." Zhang Tian was a little proud, the sword qi he used just now was a new skill that he had just mastered after reaching the sixth layer.

"Uh-huh!" Shaochun hurriedly went ashore and ran towards the dense woods in the distance.

Zhang Tian squatted by the stream and began to clean up the belly of the fish, and not long after, an exclamation from Shaochun suddenly came from the woods!

Zhang Tian was stunned, hurriedly threw the fish on the ground, picked up his long sword and rushed into the woods.

When he got closer, I saw Shaochun holding a bundle of firewood, and on the ground in front of her, there was a person lying on her back!

The man was dressed in a gray robe, and there was a wound on his shoulder, and the blood was almost wet on half of his arm.

Looking at his face in his thirties, his eyes closed and motionless, his lips were white, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Young master, I was picking up firewood, who knew that there was a person lying here, I was shocked!" Shao Chun's face was a little frightened, and she hurriedly hid behind Zhang Tian.

"It's okay, you stand back." After speaking, Zhang Tian cautiously stepped forward to probe the man's snort.

"And gas!" Zhang Tian hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a reddish-brown pill, pinched the man's jaw, and stuffed the pill in.

This bottle of medicine is called Jinchuang Pill, which he specially went to Tongbaolou to buy before leaving, although it is not an elixir, but this bottle of ten pills also cost him nearly a thousand oceans!

After only a few moments, the man opened his eyes faintly, as if his head was still a little unclear, and after a while, he gradually regained consciousness.

When this man saw Zhang Tian's appearance clearly, there was a hint of brilliance on his pale face, and he said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Yes... Is it Young Master Zhang Tian? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tian was stunned, he didn't know this man, "Are you?" ”

"The smaller one is the Li family's Lehi."

"Lehi? Are you Li Hai, who was sent to the factory by Li Dabao to take charge of things? How did you pass out here injured and injured? ”

Li Dabao had mentioned this person to Zhang Tian before, and Dabao and his sister began to practice in retreat, so they sent this Li Hai to be in charge of management.

But he didn't stay well in the factory, how could he be injured and lie in the woods?

"Exactly, Young Master Tian, you leave me alone for now, go back to the city and call someone! The iron mine we entered was robbed by bandits! ”

Li Hai's expression suddenly became excited, and he grabbed Zhang Tian's sleeve and shouted.

"Don't worry, tell me what's going on." Zhang Tian was stunned, patted the back of his hand, and comforted.

"Yesterday, I took people to escort ten carts of iron ore from Huaishui City back to the imperial city, and when I saw that it was dark, I planned to rest and rest, and then hurry when it was dawn.

Who would have thought that as soon as he sat down, dozens of bandits rushed out of the forest, and they would cut them with knives!

Who would have thought that there would be bandits under the roots of the imperial city, almost all of the dozen brothers were killed, and they didn't even let go of the groom who was driving!

I took advantage of the darkness to escape into the woods, so I was lucky to survive, young master, I beg you, I must avenge more than a dozen members of our Li family! ”

After Li Hai finished speaking, his eyes were red, and he struggled to get up and knelt in front of Zhang Tian.

"Hurry up, I'll take care of this matter naturally, you don't have to!" Zhang Tian helped him up.

Good guy, this bandit is too arrogant, he dares to rob it so close to the imperial city, don't you want to die?!

Although there are now bandits in various places because of famine, I have never heard of any bandits who dared to run to the roots of the imperial city to rob.

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city, isn't this the old birthday star hanging, and he has a long life!

Something is wrong!

"Isn't our factory always having people deliver to our doors? Why did you go out to buy this time? After Li Hai calmed down a little, Zhang Tian asked.

Li Hai took the water bag handed by Shaochun and took two sips, "It was true that this was the case, but since last month, all the merchants who have been delivering goods before have stopped cooperating with us, even if they add money,

In order to prevent the factory from stopping production, we had to purchase the goods from Huaishui ourselves, plus this time, a total of three trips into the goods, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen! ”

Zhang Tian smacked his lips, this is someone who wants to get along with him!

Li Dabao must have noticed it, but he probably didn't find out the clue, so he didn't tell himself.

asked Li Hai for some details, Zhang Tian pondered for a moment, "Chun'er, you help Li Hai back to the city to find Li Dabao, I'll go to the place of the incident first to see if I can find any clues." ”

He untied the waist card from his waist and threw it to Shaochun. "In addition, go to the barracks outside the city, find my seventh uncle, and ask him to draw a team of soldiers and horses to come over for reinforcements."

Shaochun was suddenly reluctant, "Young master, at least it will be dark this time, you are here by yourself, I don't worry!" ”

"Yes, young master, let's go back together, if something happens, how about it!" Li Hai was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded.

Zhang Tian's eyes flickered a little, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, if I guess correctly, the person who attacked you last night is not a bandit at all!" ”
