In the main hall of the Black Cloud Martial Arts Pavilion, a woman in a white practice uniform sipped tea while reading the letter in her hand.

This woman looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a plump figure and a toned body, and she was Mo Qiu, the owner of the martial arts hall.

After a while, she put down the letter and said to her own disciple: "It seems that the 'Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall' is very confident about the martial arts competition...... In this way, we don't need to come forward...... That's fine. ”

Her personal disciple was a little girl who was not much older than Zhao Chen, and when she heard her master's words, she couldn't help but ask: "Master, that's a 'business route', are you really not tempted?" ”

The beautiful eyes of the ink pavilion master darkened, and he sighed and said, "It's false to say that you can't be moved...... But this matter is essentially an extension of the battle between Yan Hongxia and Chai Yugong......

"I agreed to the Chai family's request to launch a competition for the 'trade route', and negotiated the terms with the Zhao family's shopkeeper Lin so that I could not offend both......

"But this practice is called 'snake and mouse ends', and it's easy to displease both sides...... It's in my best interest now. ”

"An extension of the struggle between the 'Ten Thousand Family Buddhas' and the 'Hongxia Sword'?" Does the Golden Dart Martial Arts Pavilion have anything to do with the Yan family? Her personal disciple was stunned.

"If it's just the Golden Dart Martial Arts Gym, in fact, it won't be much troubled...... But the housewife of the Zhao family has a very good relationship with Yan Hongxia, and many of the Zhao family's businesses in the county town are protected by the Yan family......

"Now that the Zhao family wants to do business in Dunhuang, the Chai family will naturally not let them succeed easily." Speaking of this, Mo Qiu shook his head, "Forget it, what am I talking to you about this?"

"In short, after seven days, you and I will just go through the motions."

……

Outside the east gate of Yumen City, the Green Snake Martial Arts Hall.

A short old man in a green coat approached the tall and burly She Pavilion Master and reported in a low voice:

"Pavilion master, the fact that the 'Ten Thousand Family Life Buddha' Chai Yu Gong was injured by a supernatural power is true, and it has spread in the county.

"Do you think we're going to ......?"

His meaning is obvious, since the pillars of the Chai family have been hit hard, the things that the other party has explained can be completely disobeyed...... After all, Yan Hongxia is also not easy to mess with.

The owner of the She Pavilion was about thirty years old, with two delicate little beards, and after hearing the report, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally said firmly: "No, we still have to fight for that 'trade route' with all our might. ”

"Why?" The old man in Tsing Yi asked puzzled.

"Two reasons...... First, Chai Yugong was only injured, but not dead, and now changing his position is not only offending the Chai family, but also unable to please the Yan family;

"Second, and most importantly...... That is, our martial arts hall really needs this 'trade route'!

"After all, with the current income, it is difficult to afford the 'Tiancong Pill' and other ......pills that assist in enlightenment," the owner of the She Pavilion said helplessly.

Because he spent too much money when he opened his eyes and ears, the martial arts hall had to be relocated outside the city, and the owner of the She Pavilion felt guilty for the rest of the senior brothers.

"So, that 'trade route' must be taken no matter what!" The owner of the She Pavilion is categorical.

……

Although the Yumen Chamber of Commerce is called the "Chamber of Commerce", it is actually an organization jointly established by the major local cultivation forces in Yumen to distribute benefits, and is in charge of most of the affairs of the martial arts in the county, and its power is amazing.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is currently the deacon of the Li family stationed in Yumen, and Li Fuyan, the "Qinglian Sword" who ranks first on the list of outstanding people in Yumen.

However, Li Fuyan, as a "supernatural" monk, is actually only in name only, and does not really take charge of affairs, and the power of the Chamber of Commerce is held by the Council of Elders, which is composed of five vice presidents.

The Chai family naturally occupies a seat in the presbyterian church...... The heroic woman who led people to hunt down Zhao Jin and Zhao Qin's sisters and brothers at the dock was one of the vice presidents of the Yumen Chamber of Commerce.

Her name is Chai Qingzhu, the niece of Chai Yugong, the "Buddha of Ten Thousand Families", who is domineering and arrogant, and does not allow any voice that is unfavorable to her uncle, so she has a grudge against many people.

But Chai Yugong was very fond of this niece, and still allowed her to sit in the position of vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, Chai Qingzhu had just come out of the room where Chai Yu Palace was recuperating, and he heard his subordinates report on the "Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall" that should be a martial arts competition.

Her eyes moved slightly, and then she nodded, "I know, I'll be there in person when the time comes." ”

The subordinate first responded, then hesitated for a moment, and then suggested euphemistically: "Vice President, shouldn't we restrain ourselves and not overly stimulate the Yan family and the Zhao family at this time?" ”

"The more this time, the more you can't show weakness, otherwise wouldn't it make the younger generation feel that the uncle is seriously injured, and our Chai family can't do it?" Chai Qingzhuxiu was stunned and reprimanded, "I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Yes!" The subordinate was immediately panicked and fell to his knees.

"In addition, send someone to find some young people and girls with pure breath, I don't care what means you use, bring them over as soon as possible! This is about uncle's injury, understand? Chai Qingzhu squinted his eyes and said.

"My subordinates understand." The man replied respectfully again, and then, after repeated confessions, turned away.

After he walked away, Chai Qingzhu retracted all his expressions, only looked back at the room where the uncle was retreating, pulled the corners of his mouth, revealed an inexplicable smile, and muttered:

"My Buddha's Compassion ......"

……

Three days later, early in the morning.

In the small courtyard, Zhao Chen held the "Wind Chopping Sword" and slowly practiced a set of "Taiyi Xuanmen Swordsmanship", its line was like a dragon out of the water, its quiet was like a civet cat catching mice, and the swordsmanship was mysterious, and the true qi was stirred, but it dissipated at the last moment.

Call!

After putting away his sword and standing, Zhao Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air and sighed silently: "Still can't do it...... The sword qi killing move of this 'Taiyi Xuanmen Sword' is really difficult to practice!

"Or is it too short...... If it weren't for the 'Traveling Merchant's 'Position', I'm afraid I would have to practice for a few months to reach my current level, let alone cultivate a sword qi killing move in the True Qi Realm. ”

After finishing the morning exercise, Zhao Chen didn't go to greet his master as usual, because Senior Brother Feng was preparing to break through to the "True Qi Realm" today, and the master was protecting the Fa for him.

Knowing that others are no more blessed than their own, the process is actually quite difficult, and there is no day that can't be finished at all, so Zhao Chen is ready to take advantage of this kung fu to run to the desert and pick up the "Purple Light Ring" hidden there first.

He first went back to the room and looked at Sister Hongxia, who was still sleeping, and after seeing that she had nothing else unusual, he instructed Xiao Wu Fengqu to retreat and practice without disturbing him at will.

After the wind song retreated, he put on the "Toad Light" ribbon, picked up the "paper horse" made in the past few days, and quietly slipped out of the courtyard where the martial arts hall was located, and then went out of the city through the west gate.

Then, Zhao Chen attached the paper horses with many runes drawn with blood on their legs, and began to pinch and recite the spell according to the relevant "memories" given by the "traveling merchant".

As the spell took effect, Zhao Chen only felt as if he was really riding on a horse that traveled eight hundred miles a day, and his whole body galloped at great speed.

……

Outside the Yumen Pass, the north wind is like a knife, cutting and rolling sand.

A team of horses suddenly appeared in the sky, like a sandstorm, in an instant.

This is a team of more than ten silver-armored iron horsemen, led by a man who was only a few days ago in front of Chai Qingzhu.

In the palm of his hand, a paper crane hovers and flies, but its head always points in one direction.

"Sure enough...... The girl fled to the neighborhood. ”

The man looked at the knights behind him and shouted, "That girl won't escape within a radius of twenty miles, search for me!" ”

One of the knights answered in unison, and then with a clamp on the horse's belly, the horse rushed out.

Zhao Chen, who had just retrieved the "Purple Light Ring" and had not had time to check its use in the Xingcha, used the "Toad Light" to hide to the side, frowned and said:

"The knights' outfits are similar to the ones I saw at the docks that day......

"People from the Chai family?

"What are they looking for?"

(There is a plus today, in the early hours of the morning)
