Chapter 41 The Divine Light Appears in Middle-earth

Chenguang was a little surprised, but he still told him what happened today, and at the end of the day, Chenguang said to Xu Xun: "Second Senior Brother is really good eyesight, I have carefully sorted it out when I came back, but it is still seen by you." ”

Xu Xun shook his head and said, "I don't see anything unusual about you, I see someone else." ”

As he spoke, Xu Xun opened the door, and Guo Xinzhu was standing at the door, staring at the morning light with concern.

Chenguang was surprised: "Did you see Xinzhu?"

Guo Xinzhu nodded, Xu Xun let her into the room, and Guo Xinzhu said: "I listened to you outside just now, and I felt that this matter was quite strange. ”

Xu Xun muttered: "I also feel the same way, Lao Qi was involved in such a dangerous situation for no reason, it really doesn't seem like an accident, but I haven't thought of anything wrong for a while." ”

Guo Xinzhu said to him: "Second senior brother, maybe you can listen to me first." Chenguang, you were originally going to inform the young monarch of the Tatar Kingdom, but how could you be dragged into the arena? It is said that this arena will never be pulled in casually, and there are so many people on the street, how could they find you? This is the first suspicion. ”

Chenguang nodded and said, "Yes, when I passed by that shop, the owner of the shop seemed to know about me and immediately found me, and without saying much to me, he took me to the fighting arena." Supposedly he didn't know me at all, so how could he find me?"

Guo Xinzhu said again: "You said that Taiken is the chief guard of this Guairah City, and he went to the arena to find an opponent to vent his killing, then he will definitely not pick an opponent at random, and ordinary people should disdain to be an opponent, the question is how does he know that Chenguang has cultivation? This is the second doubt." ”

Xu Xun and Chenguang both nodded in agreement, and Guo Xinzhu said: "Finally, there is also the flying dragon rider known as the guardian of Guaira, if he has been patrolling the sky above the arena, but there are probably very few ordinary cultivators who can perform the levitation technique, where is he needed?" so I suspect that he made a special trip to prevent Chenguang from leaving with the levitation technique. Putting everything I know together, I think that this morning light distress may have been deliberately done. ”

After listening to Guo Xinzhu's analysis, Chenguang and Xu Xun's expressions were a little solemn, and Xu Xun said: "In this way, someone deliberately wants to harm Lao Qi, and he is also a person we know." We came from afar, and we don't understand the language in this Nanchanaburi state, and there are not many people we know well, so there are people from our same way, which is very tricky. As he spoke, his face was embarrassed.

Chenguang said: "Second Senior Brother don't have to be too anxious, I have survived this time, and I have figured out the trick of this stick, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." In addition, since we know that there is something wrong with our fellow travelers, we can be careful and look for opportunities in the future to find out those who are plotting evil. ”

Guo Xinzhu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yes, but it is also not good for us if the time drags on for too long, so we should find him out earlier." I've thought of a way to try it when we get out of the city of Guairah. ”

Xu Xun and Chenguang hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Guo Xinzhu smiled mysteriously and left a sentence: "I will naturally tell you when the time comes." Then he turned and departed. Xu Xun looked at the morning light, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No wonder the master always says that only women ......"

Chenguang said: "Second Senior Brother, don't say it, I can understand the power of these women before you." The two men looked at each other and sighed.

Xu Xun said: "Old Seven, let's get down to business, if we still can't get out of the city tomorrow, I'm afraid we will have to rely on you." ”

Chenguang nodded and said, "Second Senior Brother, I understand that only I use the levitation technique to transport the materials out. But I'm afraid it's going to be hard. ”

Xu Xun sighed: "This is also a helpless move, we are all cultivators, we can still jump out of the city wall, only the materials have to rely on you." The carriages and horses will be sold at a low price in this city tomorrow, and after leaving the city, they will find another place to buy, but the time will be delayed. ”

The two of them discussed a little longer, and then went their separate ways.

Before dawn the next day, the Zeng Qiang Zeng Tao brothers, who were in charge of finding out the news, came out of breath again, a major incident happened in Guaira last night, the city lord was killed by the assassins in Kanchanaburi, and the assistant asked for the murderer to be arrested, but the garrison had to give priority to maintaining the stability of Guaira's town, and now the guards in the city were in chaos. The guards under the assistant officer began to search the houses in the city overnight, and the soldiers of the city guard, at the behest of the garrison, opened the gates of the city, but were not allowed to enter.

Xu Xunqi said: "What is the truth of this?"

Jacktu yawned lazily and said, "What's strange about this, the assassins in Kanchanaburi are in the city, and many officials can't sleep well, so it's better to let them out, at least to ensure their own safety." ”

Everyone was relieved. Xu Xun nodded and said: "In this case, let's not delay, Lao Qi will call the people of the Tatar Kingdom and leave." ”

Chenguang nodded and was about to go, but Guo Xinzhu grabbed Chenguang and said softly, "Be careful." ”

Chenguang frowned, but saw that Jacktu on the side was also constantly glaring at him, and nodded, "I will." With that, he walked out of the inn. However, Amytiss silently returned to her room after the morning light left.

By the time Chenguang informed the heirs to return, everyone had already packed their things. As the group passed through the city center, the black-clad preacher was still chanting loudly, but there were few listeners around him. Chenguang curiously asked Yu Tuo if this person was a fellow teacher with them, but Yu Tuo shook his head, saying that only his master and apprentice came to Nchanaburi to preach the scriptures, and there were no other companions.

Guo Xinzhu quietly asked Chenguang, "Did you find anything?" Chenguang shook his head.

Coming to the gate of the city to the west, the heir of the young king and his men were already waiting here. After the two groups of people and horses met, dozens of horses, several carriages, and a large number of foreigners, it was difficult not to attract the attention of others.

Sure enough, the soldiers at the gate of the city demanded a stop from a distance, and lined up. Jacktu was the first to come forward to negotiate, but these soldiers did not listen at all, not only drove Jacktu back, but also sent people to gather reinforcements, and after a while, the garrison officer came from all directions with hundreds of soldiers, and surrounded the team in the middle, and the crowd that was originally around to watch the excitement was all dispersed at once, leaving the people facing each other on both sides.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight each other, at this time it was Niu Er who stepped forward, he talked face to face with the leading garrison officer alone for a while, and when everyone was worried, the garrison officer suddenly treated Niu Er with respect, quickly beckoned his subordinates to the side, and then sent everyone out of the city gate with a smile on his face.

After leaving the city, everyone was full of doubts, and after walking for more than ten miles, Chenguang grabbed Niu Er and said: "Niu Er, where did you come from? Last time in Wangre, you said that it was the brand on your body that relieved our siege, what are you going to say today?"

Niu Er smiled and said, "The brand? ”

Guo Xinzhu stepped forward and said, "How did you get this brand because it has such a big effect? Also, what is the purpose of you following us?"

Niu Er was slightly displeased, and said: "I have been walking together for a long time, if it is wrong, why today?"

Xu Xun also said: "Just now I saw that you talked with the garrison officer for a while, and you haven't taken out that sign at all, how can you explain this?"

Niu Er said with some annoyance: "I am the prince of Belen, you and others are all servants, and I will return to China to help in the war, is this okay?"

Xu Xun frowned and said, "This far-fetched reason can't convince us yet. ”

Everyone gathered around Niu Er and wanted to ask again, but Amytis stepped forward and said, "Why are you forcing him so much? He is just a scholar, and he has been with us for several months, so why should he be questioned because he has relieved us of the siege?"

At this time, Master Yu Tuo and his apprentice also stepped forward and said: "Amitabha, you must not be like this, Niu Jushi solves problems for us, but we are gracious, and we should be treated with courtesy." ”

Peng Mu also came over at this time and said to Xu Xun: "Second brother, seventh brother, Xinzhu girl, although the second brother Niu is a little pedantic, but he is very sincere, and the younger brother and him are also familiar at first sight, you must have misunderstood him." ”

Seeing that everyone came to speak for Niu Er, Xu Xun looked at Chenguang and Guo Xinzhu, both of them bowed their heads and said silently, so he stepped forward and said to Niu Er: "Brother Niu, don't be surprised, just because we are in a foreign land and in the midst of war, we must be cautious in everything." This time it was really too much, and I ask Brother Niu to forgive me. ”

Niu Er waved his hand and said very indifferently: "It's okay, the gentleman is frank, and the villain is just a relative." With that, he smiled at Peng Mu, Yu Tuo, and Amytis, and the three of them rode forward side by side. However, Xu Xun, Chenguang and Guo Xinzhu were counted out, and they all blushed a little.

Within a day of leaving Guaira, the mountains gradually disappeared from view, and the grass was vast as far as the eye could see. It seems that the plains of Middle-earth are just around the corner.

On this plain, the carriages and horses are very comfortable, and the young man has a flamboyant personality, Amytis took the lead and began to gallop first, and Niu Er was the second to rush out, and it was not in vain that he was called Niu Er. Chenguang and Peng Mu followed closely behind, but Xinzhu fell behind them, she didn't want to gallop like this, but watching Chenguang ride away, she unconsciously followed.

The five of them left the group far behind, only caring about the joy, but Amytis, who was at the front, suddenly lost her horse's hooves, but fortunately she reacted quickly and unfolded the cicada feather shawl and floated, otherwise I am afraid that she would fall into the mud.

Amytis was in mid-air, and before she could hit the ground, a bunch of people appeared in the grass around her, all covered with mud and grass, and their faces were painted green, and it was difficult to notice them lying on the grass.

The men all held a short crossbow in their hands, and the same long sword hung from their waists, and their movements were uniform, some of them in a circle, encircling Ametis as they floated in the air, while others lined up in a horizontal line to stop those behind.

Looking at their neat outfits and actions, everyone knew that these people were definitely not grass bandits. At this time, one of these people shouted a few words to Amytis, and made a whereabouts gesture, Niu Er explained that these people were the guards of the Carolingian Duchy of Middle-earth, responsible for guarding the border, and that his party had trespassed into the territory of the Carolingian Duchy without permission, and needed to be inspected by them, and this person also asked Amytis to come down and not act rashly.

Amytis slowly descended, Chenguang, Peng Mu and Guo Xinzhu also arrived one after another, Niu Er was negotiating with the leader, I saw him say while taking out the gold medal, but the other party didn't seem to buy it, still shaking his head and saying something. After they talked for a while, Niu Er turned around and shook his head at everyone and said, "Middle-earth is a world of its own, and it is not subject to the rules of Nanchanaburi, and Belen's gold medal is also helpless. He said that we had trespassed into the boundaries of the land, and that we should be disarmed and taken into custody, and that we should be disarmed and taken by him. ”

Hearing this, Chenguang said angrily: "The eight countries of Middle-earth are so domineering, we would like to meet for a while. ”

Niu Er hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Brother Tai, Emily is still in his hand, act rashly, I'm afraid it will be lost, it is better to go along with it first, and then slowly figure it out." ”

The crowd was anxious, and the brigade in the rear also arrived. The other party saw so many people coming, and they were even more vigilant, and everyone slowly retreated, but they were not flustered.

At this time, the heir came from the rear, inquired about the situation, and then said to everyone: "Since we have entered the land of another country, we should naturally obey the wishes of the landlord. As he spoke, he took the lead in unsheathing his weapon and placing it on the ground.

Everyone saw that the Tatars and their party put their weapons over, and then saw that Ametis was surrounded by the group of soldiers, and they no longer insisted, and untied their weapons and put them on the ground in front of each other.

Seeing that everyone had disarmed, the soldiers also let go of the siege of Amytis, and several soldiers stepped forward to put away all their weapons, and the soldiers who took the lead commanded their men to escort the team towards Caroling.
