It was already spring in the south of the Dragon Mountains, but in the north of the Dragon Mountains, it was still cold and windy, and the snow was beginning to melt.

Jinbei City, located in the north-central part of the country of Tenra, is only three days away from Tenluo City, the capital of the king of Tenra.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xie Chen did not stop near Tianluo City. Instead, he hurried and rushed to Jinbei City in just over two days.

Although when I arrived at Jinbei Castle, it was not yet dusk. But Xie Chen slowed down in a rare way and let the team rest in Jinbei City.

Born in Tianluo Kingdom, Xie Chen naturally knew where to go forward. Moyun Mountain, not far ahead, is the largest gathering place of horse thieves in the entire Tianluo Kingdom.

In the mountains within a radius of 100 miles, there are no less than 100 large and small horse thief gangs, and the total number of horse thieves even exceeds 100,000. Among them, there are even some spiritual powerhouses.

And it just so happens that this is the only way to Fengchi City. Although the strength of the Brotherhood Alliance is not bad, it has to be careful in the face of more than 100,000 fierce horse thieves.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone rested. Xie Chen walked to the front of the inn and threw a piece of silver to the shopkeeper.

"Man, what's the price of the pass now?" Xie Chen asked lightly.

Pass is the term for a thief. Wherever horse thieves gather, there are often people in the surrounding towns who secretly sell them. If you have a pass, you have a pass through a place where horse thieves gather. Generally, horse thieves will not be too embarrassed after seeing the other party show their pass. Of course, the people who issued this pass were naturally these horse thieves who stood in the way and robbed.

Xie Chen had been a horse thief in his previous life, so he was also very interested in the horse thieves in the Douling Continent, and he was even more impressed by this convenient pass. So as soon as I settled down, I started asking.

As soon as he saw the silver in Baihuahua, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, put away the silver, and even poured a cup of hot water for Xie Chen.

"Eh, this young master, I see that you often run the rivers and lakes, the door is clear!"

Xie Chen touched the stubble that appeared on his chin and smiled faintly. On the Douling Continent, there are not a few teenagers who come out at the age of thirteen or fourteen to run the rivers and lakes. And Xie Chen's rough appearance now does have a hint of Jianghu atmosphere.

Seeing Xie Chen smiling and silent, the shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile: "Master, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that if you come a few days earlier, there will be passes sold here in the shop." It's just a few days, but it's gone. ”

"It's gone, it's selling so fast?" Xie Chen raised his eyebrows.

"The master misunderstood, in fact, the wind has been tight for a while, and the people on the mountain are not doing business now. The shopkeeper hurriedly explained.

"No business, will there be such a good thing?"

"It's not!" shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: "Actually, if I heard this news, I would definitely not believe it! This horse thief in Moyun Mountain has been around for hundreds of years, and I have never heard that the kingdom has really sent troops to encircle and suppress it!"

Xie Chen's heart moved, and he asked quietly, "You mean, the kingdom's army has come to suppress the bandits?"

For hundreds of years, the country of Tianluo has been constantly conquered. However, most of these expeditions were aimed at foreign hegemony and territorial expansion. For these stubborn and numerous horse thieves in China, although the state has also requisitioned and suppressed, it has achieved little effect.

Every time I encircled and suppressed, there was a lot of thunder and a little rain, and in the end, it was all gone. This is also the reason why in recent years, the number of horse thieves has increased, and they have the audacity to openly sell "passes".

Seeing Xie Chen ask, the shopkeeper also opened the conversation with his eyebrows: "Yes! This time the kingdom seems to be in earnest, in addition to the kingdom's 100,000 army and 50,000 iron-blooded battalions, the four major families have also sent spirit masters to help in the battle! The army of the Iron Blood Battalion rushed into Moyun Mountain like a tide, and all the horse thieves ran away one by one......"

"Iron Blood Battalion, could it be that Luo Fan is in charge of suppressing the bandits this time?" Xie Chen asked.

"Shhhh "The shopkeeper shrank his neck, this young man seems to have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he didn't speak well. How can His Royal Highness the Second Prince's name be said casually?!

After seeing that there was no one around, the shopkeeper relieved himself and said, "You are right, it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince who commanded the bandits this time. Master, don't blame me for not reminding you, but there are adults from the Xie family clan living in our store, so you'd better be cautious when you speak. ”

"Who is the Xie family clan?!" Xie Chen said secretly in his heart, it can't be such a coincidence, right?!

"Hey hey, sir, this ...... Casually reveal the names of the guests, it's not good...... "The shopkeeper smiled.

"Well, I'm just curious. Xie Chen quietly threw out another piece of silver.

After receiving the money, the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "The master is so refreshing, it doesn't hurt to tell you." This time, the Xie family clan also sent a lot of spirit masters to assist in suppressing the bandits, and I heard that it was a son who led the team, and it seems that Xie Qingyang ......"

Xie Chen's heart moved! Xie Qingyang? It turned out to be him! So Xie Tuo is also here?!

Although Xie Qingyang already knew that he was not dead, Xie Chen still did not want to expose his whereabouts. Now that the matter of repairing the blade has just been settled, Xie Chen doesn't want to make any extraneous troubles.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen took out another piece of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Little Er, go and settle the bill for me." I can't get used to having so many big names here, so let's pack up and change to another store. ”

With that, Xie Chen stood up without looking back, and strode towards the room of the Brotherhood Alliance. Throwing down the shop, Xiao Er stood stunned, not knowing what medicine this young master had taken wrong.

After a while, Xie Chen had already cleaned up with everyone, and the group hurriedly left the inn and lived elsewhere.

As soon as Xie Chen and the others arrived, a figure quietly walked out of the corner and gently patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, "Why did those people leave just now?"

The shopkeeper turned his head, and when he saw the young man who appeared behind him, he immediately laughed and said: "This son, the little one doesn't know ......."

At this moment, suddenly a figure outside the door flashed into a big man, bowed down and said: "Returning to the prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince issued an emergency order, asking us to prepare to close the mountain at any time." ”

"Oh, close the mountain?!" The young man was Xie Qingyang, and after hearing Dahan's words, his brows furrowed. Looking at the direction where Xie Chen and the others were gone, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately walked to the counter, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a few words.

Afterwards, Xie Qingyang put the paper in a bag and sealed it, handed it to the big man and said, "I have some things to go back to the family, and you will be fully responsible for this place." Until I return, our men are not allowed to do anything. You take this bag and give it to the people who just left. Remember, don't let anyone find out. ”

"Yes. Dahan took the bag and immediately turned to leave.

And Xie Qingyang also directly ordered someone to bring a fast horse and gallop out of the city.

After a while, Xie Chen and the others found a quieter inn to live in. Just as everyone was settling down again, a little boy of five or six years old suddenly ran up to Xie Chen and the others, threw a bag at everyone's feet, turned his head and ran.

"Eh, little brother, ...... you" Seeing this, he raised his foot and was about to chase after him.

Xie Chen bent down to pick up the bag and said lightly: "Empty, don't chase it, I know who sent it." ”

"You know?" said Sora turning his head in surprise.

Xie Chen smiled slightly, opened the bag and watched. In fact, when he was talking to the shopkeeper in the inn, he had already noticed that someone was secretly watching him. Although he didn't have Xie Qingyang's "Soul Awareness Sword", he could also faintly feel that the other party was somewhat familiar.

And the reason why Xie Chen immediately got up to check out and left the inn was also to tell Xie Qingyang that he didn't want to recognize the other party yet. It's just that I didn't expect Xie Qingyang to send a bag over.

The content of Xie Qingyang's letter is very simple: "Luo Fan waits for the rabbit to have other plans, don't act rashly!"

After Xie Chen looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly. Crumpled the letter paper into a ball and handed it to Feng Qi. Feng Qi understood, and as soon as his mind moved, a scorching flame power instantly emitted, turning the letter into ashes in an instant.

Seeing Xie Chen's actions like this, everyone was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what's going on?"

Xie Chen smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the army in this Moyun Mountain is coming for us." ”

In just an instant, Xie Chen had already figured out the key. The Tianluo Kingdom had never suppressed the bandits so vigorously, and the other party had just taken action before the arrival of himself and the others. This is already unusual.

Coupled with Xie Qingyang's reminder, although Xie Chen was not very sure that Luo Fan's target was his own people. But it was from the phrase "wait for the rabbit" that smelled the smell of danger.

But what puzzled Xie Chen was that the route he had arranged was very thorough, and his actions were extremely close and careful, and he didn't find anything abnormal along the way. If you say that the other party has been guarding here, it's better to say. But judging from the words of the shopkeeper, the other party obviously only took action in the past few days! So how did the other party accurately judge his whereabouts?

Thinking of this, Xie Chen couldn't help but sweep his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Chen, Xiao Shisan, give you two days to find out if there is anything abnormal in our team." In the past two days, we have temporarily stayed in Jinbei City. ”

On the other hand, Xie Qingyang rushed to Tianluo City non-stop. The original three-day journey was completed in less than two days under his hasty horseback.

"Bang!" the door was pushed open, and Xie Qingyang walked into the room with a trace of white gas.

"Wow! Brother Qingyang, are you going to become an immortal? Or have you been cooked? Why did you become like this?"

A slightly sharp voice sounded in the room, and a round little fat man stood up and looked at Xie Qingyang in surprise.

Ignoring this inconspicuous question, Xie Qingyang hurriedly said, "Xie Tuo, Xie Chen is probably in danger!"

"What? Who do you say is in danger?!" the little fat man's face suddenly changed, and his eyes stared at Xie Qingyang.

"Xie Chen!" Xie Qingyang repeated again, this name was enough to shock Xie Tuo beyond words.

"Is it really Brother Chen?!"

Xie Tuo's eyes were full of surprise, and then he calmed down instantly, took out a jade plate engraved with five small swords from his arms, handed it to Xie Qingyang, and said, "I'll prepare first." You take this to the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, and ask them to immediately mobilize all the family elites in their hands who can be mobilized to stand by at any time!"

"Okay!" Xie raised his eyes lightly, and immediately turned around and hurried away.

"Brother Chen is really still alive......" After Xie Qingyang left, Xie Tuo stood in place with excitement flashing in his eyes.

After a while, this light suddenly became extremely cold! Whoever dares to touch a cold hair of my brother Chen, I will let him bury his whole family with him!
