After Chen Fan and the others walked out of Mantuo Mountain, they did not stop much, and the group of four people just rested for a day in Datong Town, and the next morning, everyone continued to hurry.

At noon, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and Chen Fan inquired only to know that they had reached the very center of this place - Bituo City.

Bituo City is the center of the surrounding towns, and it is also the richest one, as soon as they entered the city, Chen Fan and the others immediately felt the huge difference between this place and the surrounding towns.

The surrounding towns are relatively sparsely populated and the fields are barren, while Bituo City is the opposite, here, it even gives Chen Fan the illusion of being in a dream: noisy markets, bustling streets, pedestrians coming and going on the road, a scene of peace and prosperity!

Chen Fan walked in the city, looking at the large and small shops around him, he couldn't help but say with envy: "What a prosperous place!"

After hearing this, Fang Han couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Chen, where is this going, this is only the periphery of Bituo City, and the front is the center of Bituo City." ”

Chen Fan's face was a little surprised, he didn't speak, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

Chen Fan patted his empty stomach, turned his head to Fang Han, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, sleep well tonight, and hurry tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" It was rare to be able to breathe for one night, and the three of them were very happy after hearing it, as if they were afraid that Chen Fan would regret it, so they quickly nodded in response.

The four of them walked forward a short distance, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant, the restaurant is not big, but there are many customers inside, it can be seen that there must be something special in the restaurant.

Chen Fan nodded secretly and said, "That's it!"

"Okay!" Fang Han responded, led the horses that were pulling things aside, untied the stiff rope, and tied them to the horse stakes outside the restaurant, and then the four of them swaggered into the restaurant.

As soon as they came in, a guy from the store immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yo, a few guest officers, please come inside!"

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, several people found a place near the window and sat down, Chen Fan glanced at the shopkeeper and asked, "Little second brother, what are the specialties in your store?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper tilted his head and replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, although the store is not big, the dishes are absolutely first-class, no matter what the dish, as long as the guest officer can be named, the store will definitely deliver it to you." ”

"Heh, the tone is not small!" Chen Fan said with a smile: "Then serve a few special dishes in your store, let us taste what is special." ”

"Okay, the guest officer will be delivered soon. The shopkeeper simply answered and turned to leave.

Chen Fan turned his head to Fang Han and asked, "Brother Fang, how long are we still from the south of Zhongzhou?"

"About half a month!"

"So long?"

"Brother Chen, our speed is already fast, under normal circumstances, it would take five or six days for just one town. ”

Chen Fan nodded and stopped talking.

After a short time, the shopkeeper brought the wine and food to the table, and Chen Fan took the opportunity to ask, "Little second brother, are there any spare rooms in your store?"

The shopkeeper raised his head, glanced at Chen Fan with a puzzled face, and said with a smile: "Of course there is! It seems that the guest officers are not locals, right?"

"That's right, we're just passing through. ”

"No wonder!" The shopkeeper showed a suddenly realized expression, and said in a low voice: "Recently, there has been a Jiangyang thief in this town, who singled out passers-by, and as a result, the town was panicked, and there were fewer and fewer people living in the store. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Fan looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

Not only him, but Fang Han and the other three glanced at each other, and they all pricked up their ears.

They were interested in listening, and the shopkeeper naturally didn't hesitate to speak, and said: "This Jiangyang thief is not an ordinary person, it is said that he is still a martial artist, and his martial arts cultivation is very good, and the security team we formed has arrested him several times, but it has gained nothing." ”

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Since the other party has such good skills, why is he only a thief?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "This villain is not clear, but this Jiangyang thief is also principled when stealing, but any pedestrian patronized by him will only steal half of the other party's property." ”

"And such weirdos?" Xiao Wen couldn't help but exclaim.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Who knows! Several guest officers should be more careful at night, and the store will not be responsible for any accidents." ”

"Haha..."Chen Fan and the others were amused, and laughed: "Don't worry, it's good that Jiangyang thief doesn't come, if we meet him, he will definitely not come back." As he spoke, Chen Fan took out a silver tael from his arms, didn't look at it, handed it to the shopkeeper casually, and said, "Prepare three rooms for us, and then lead our horses into the backyard to raise some high-quality forage." ”

Chen Fan took out the silver ingot, and the cost of accommodation was only about one tael, the shopkeeper subconsciously weighed the silver in his hand, and his mouth was immediately happy, and he answered, and ran away with the wind under his feet.

After several days of hurrying, Chen Fan and the others were already tired enough, and the three of them quickly finished eating, and after a simple bath, they returned to their respective rooms, covered with quilts, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Chen Fan was suddenly awakened by a short and slight sound of breaking wind.

The long-term life as a sparring partner has already made Chen Fan develop an amazing ability to perceive, and any wind and grass cannot hide from his ears. Hearing that the person was above his roof, Chen Fan remained silent, squinting his eyes slightly, still pretending to be asleep.

At this time, I saw a nimble man in black first uncover a piece of rubble on the eaves, hook his head, and look carefully into the house, but did not find anything unusual, and then flashed to the door like a ghost, and then slipped into the house.

After entering the house, the man in black walked quickly to the bed, glanced at Chen Fan on the bed with his eyes, confirmed that he was asleep, put his mind at ease, no longer hesitated, and immediately rummaged through the cabinets.

Seeing this, Chen Fan secretly sneered in his heart, his eyes rolled, he did not directly scare the future away, but patiently watched the other party's series of actions.

Sure enough, after rummaging through Chen Fan's baggage, the man in black took out a part of the silver taels from his money bag and threw it on the table, then smiled, turned his body suddenly, and walked out of the house ghostly.

As soon as he left with his front feet, Chen Fan jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes, opened the window and flashed out of the room, and quickly chased in the direction where the visitor disappeared.

Chen Fan had not been chasing for a long time, and he had already seen the figure of the man in black, at this time, the man was lying on the eaves of another guest room, looking left and right from time to time.

With a cold snort, Chen Fan stopped, and immediately lay on the eaves not far away, half-squinting, staring at the other party's every move.

Soon, after the man in black observed the situation in the house, he quickly supported his body with his limbs, climbed to the edge of the eaves like a tanuki, turned his body, and flashed into the house in a blink of an eye.

After succeeding, probably because he was tired, the man in black did not leave in a hurry, but temporarily stayed above the eaves, sat down, panting for breath.

"Your Excellency has such a good ability, but you only use it to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, don't you think it's too wasteful?" The man in black had just sat down to rest for a long time when he heard a sudden voice behind him.

This sudden sentence scared him a lot, and the man in black was suddenly shocked, and he screamed as if he had seen a ghost: "Who is it?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously stood up, took a few steps back, and at the same time pulled out the sharp knife he was carrying, and looked around.

I saw that on the eaves near him, there was a young boy standing, the young man had a delicate face, handsome facial features, and the most striking thing was the clear and bright eyes, shining like a star hanging in the night sky.

The man in black stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Hehe, Your Excellency just entered my room, why, so quickly forgot who I am?"

"Is that you?" the man in black was secretly surprised, and his grip on the hilt of the knife tightened, he couldn't figure out how the other party had discovered him, and how he had been able to follow him so far without knowing it.

Looking at the man in black who was slightly stunned, Chen Fan continued: "Your Excellency doesn't seem to have answered my question just now, with your Excellency's skills, why should you only be a thief?"

Through the tailgating just now, Chen Fan had already used the Heavenly Spirit Pupil to secretly investigate the martial arts cultivation of the man in black, and as a result, he was really shocked when he checked it, the other party's cultivation was actually in the innate realm, and he belonged to the same level as himself.

"You don't have to worry about this!" The man in black came back to his senses, his expression changed from shock just now to coldness, and the murderous aura on his body was gradually spreading.

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth were raised, and he smiled: "What if I have to care?"

"Then you are looking for death!" Without warning, the man in black suddenly broke off and stabbed Chen Fan with a knife.

His shot was very fast, but where could Chen Fan be defenseless, his body twisted, and he easily avoided the knife.

Seeing that Chen Fan easily dodged, the man was secretly taken aback, turned sideways, and stabbed him again at a faster speed.

He was fast, Chen Fan's speed was not satisfied, as soon as the tip of the knife of the man in black arrived, Chen Fan lowered his upper body slightly, and the blade of the knife almost brushed the back of his head, and then, Chen Fan took advantage of the situation to hit forward, came to the front of the man in black, and raised his fist to hit him in the direction of the chest.

"Buzz!"

There was a muffled sound in the ear chakra, and the man in black was hit by his punch, one did not stand firmly, and his body involuntarily took three or four steps back, but before he could stand firmly, he only felt that his chest was stuffy, his throat and eyes were sweet, and he spurted blood with a 'wow'.

The man in black covered his chest with his hands, looked directly at Chen Fan opposite, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, I don't know why we want to be aggressive?"

"Aggressive?" Chen Fan was happy, angry, and replied: "You have a bad heart, you have repeatedly stolen other people's property, you have already been full of evil, everyone has to be punished, I happen to meet it now, and I naturally have the responsibility to get rid of this evil evil of you!"

Hearing this, the man in black's face suddenly sank, and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "So, you have to take care of this matter today?"

Chen Fan shouted in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "Yes, I am in charge of today's idle matter!"
