After resting at Feng's house for the night, the master and apprentice set out on their way back to their hometown in the early morning.

Outside Qingyang Town, the morning fog has not completely dissipated, although there is already a dragon slaying platform, Chu Nan is not in a hurry to sharpen the horizontal knife on his waist, firstly, this knife is sharp enough, and secondly, after returning to his hometown, he has to let the blacksmith in the village re-polish this knife.

If the road is unimpeded, it will take about three months to return to his hometown.

The sun rises in the east, and there is a long wooden bridge over the small river, and the river is turbulent, resonating with the sound of the surrounding birds.

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood at the head of the bridge, blocking the way of Chu Nan's master and apprentice.

The middle-aged man had a magnificent face, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked at Chu Nan's master and apprentice with a rather surprised look, in the intelligence, there was an old man and a young man, the old one was too old, and the young one was too little.

"It's you who made Ling Yuzong suffer?" The middle-aged man asked with a pleasant face.

Chu Nan looked at this person squarely, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Can you report a name?" ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled knowingly, and was slightly impressed by Chu Nan's calm aura, and saluted with his fists: "In Xia Huanghong, he is a military general in Qingyun County. ”

"Last night, I have been investigating the file of the knife catcher in the territory, and I found that there is no record of your master and apprentice, if I want to come to Ling Yuzong, I will quickly find out your details."

Chu Nan was slightly stunned, the official family is quick to do things.

The master and apprentice really only have the fact of catching knives, but not the name of catching knives, the moment they walked out of their hometown, the two of them became knife catchers together, and along the way, they cleared a lot of tricky cases, but I didn't expect this time to be exposed.

"Didn't you stop my master and apprentice from going for no reason, what do you want?" Chu Nan got straight to the point.

Once Ling Yuzong knew that there were no Chu Nan and Lao Chen among the knife catchers, he would definitely spare no effort to hunt down and kill Chu Nan and Lao Chen, and the way back to their hometown would be full of difficulties and dangers.

Huang Hong slowly came to Chu Nan and said unhurriedly: "Escort the two of you to Xizhou." ”

Xizhou, outside of Daqin, is eight thousand miles away.

Chu Nan muttered and asked, "What kind of two are they?" ”

Huang Hong said: "The two of you who have difficulty moving will be paid very well, and I will guarantee that along the way, there will be no people from Ling Yuzong looking for revenge against you." ”

Chu Nan glanced at Lao Chen, and Lao Chen had to make up his mind about major matters.

Lao Chen nodded lightly, his hometown is Xizhou, escorting the two to Xizhou, and getting paid, why not do it.

Chu Nan was speechless, and the generous remuneration often meant huge risks.

Sighing: "Deal." ”

"But why did you choose us to fight against Ling Yuzong, you yourself will have to pay a lot of price."

Huang Hong saw Chu Nan nodding in agreement, his slightly frowning brows relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Because no one knows your background, some things are best done by strangers." ”

Chu Nan smiled angrily: "Lead the way." ”

Huang Hong turned around and walked to the opposite side of the bridge, Chu Nan and the apprentice followed closely, and soon after, under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, a simple carriage, and there was also an old man and a young man standing next to the carriage, it was the old man and the young man Chu Nan had seen in Qingshou Mountain.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Huang Hong came to the old man's side and said, "There will be no problem with these two people, as for the reward, I will give it when you arrive." ”

Chu Nan coughed and said, "I have had a relationship with them, and when I talk about remuneration at this time, I am a little outside." ”

Huang Hong looked surprised, as far as he knew, this old man with kind eyebrows and the girl in the green skirt did not show any traces, how could Chu Nan have a relationship with them.

"If that's the case, then I won't say much, and the journey will be smooth." Huang Hong said slightly embarrassed.

The military general bowed slightly to the old man and the girl in the green skirt and left.

Chu Nan looked at this girl at this time, her face was pale, obviously her blood was insufficient, and there were subtle bloodshots slowly squirming in the depths of her cheeks, although it generally did not affect the aesthetics, but it was still a little oozing under a closer look.

The two tacitly agreed to the encounter in Qingshou Mountain.

"What's your last name?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

The girl in the green skirt pursed her lips slightly and smiled: "The little surname is Xiong, and the name is Xiaomeng." ”

"This name doesn't match my temperament, I laughed."

Xiong Xiaomeng......

Chu Nan smiled implicitly: "That's true, let's get in the car." ”

Xiong Xiaomeng's eyes were erratic, and he felt that Chu Nan's subtlety was very interesting for a while.

Immediately, with the support of the old man Cimei, Xiong Xiaomeng slowly entered the carriage, while Chu Nan and Lao Chen drove outside.

After entering the carriage, Xiong Xiaomeng hurriedly sat cross-legged, running the True Yuan to irrigate his body, his face flickered brightly and darkly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was wandering in front of the ghost gate.

The old man with Cimei pushed out straight with one palm, covering Xiong Xiaomeng's forehead, and a large amount of soft true yuan slowly poured into Xiong Xiaomeng's body, suppressing the power of blue and white in his body.

For example, Xu Yuan, Shang Lang and others at least had to return to the sect and recuperate for a few days before they devoured the blue and white flowers, but Xiong Xiaomeng was different, and two hours after getting the blue and white flowers, they were forcibly devoured.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man Cimei took the risk of self-damage to stabilize the situation for Xiong Xiaomeng, this girl would be immortal at the moment, and the three souls and seven spirits would be reduced by more than half.

Because of this, these two people have no strength to fight at the moment, but they still have 8,000 miles to go.

But they didn't know that the road of driving the old and the young was also 8,000 miles.

Lao Chen was delicate and knew that the girl was in poor health, so he drove the carriage slowly and did not bump as much as possible.

This carefulness was also immediately noticed by the old man in the carriage.

It's a pity that the eldest lady's injuries are complicated at the moment, and the old man Cimei really doesn't have the kung fu to greet Lao Chen and Chu Nan who are driving.

Chu Nan also wanted to ask some information about the old man, but he couldn't help but ask.

For example, if they have an enemy, and where they may appear.

Regarding this matter, Huang Hong did not give Chu Nan a specific explanation.

For the time being, everything on the road is simple, when you are thirsty, you drink the water in the kettle, when you are hungry, it is dry food, and before you know it, seven days have passed.

In order not to provoke right and wrong as much as possible, Lao Chen did not take the Daqin Post Road, and chose routes between villages and between mountains and fields.

Seven days later, in the night.

The starlight is boundless, the bright moon is in the sky, and when looking up at the starry sky, there will always be infinite reverie in the young man's heart.

At the foot of the mountain, the stream water is cool, Lao Chen built a barbecue grill on the spot, and Chu Nan caught a few fish with his hands and feet, and his hands and feet were extremely quick to disembowelment the fish, and then use branches to penetrate.

The old man quietly watched the master and apprentice busy with their work, in fact, he wanted to help, but now the true yuan in his body was weak, and he had to sweat a little just to get up and sit down, and his heart was not enough.

Xiong Xiaomeng also got out of the carriage for the first time, his face was still a little haggard and pale, but there was also a little spirit in his eyes, seeing Chu Nan and Lao Chen so accustomed to living in the wild, he also had a little admiration in his heart.

Chu Nan saw that Xiong Xiaomeng's complexion had improved slightly, so he directly beckoned: "Come and sit, you have to wait a while to bake." ”

Along the way, Chu Nan only got to know Xiong Xiaomeng when he set off, and then he didn't say a word, but Chu Nan had long been accustomed to the atmosphere of Xiong Xiaomeng and the old man Cimei.

Xiong Xiaomeng was a little restrained, and moved slightly to the barbecue grill.

Lao Chen, who was flipping the grilled fish, glanced at the old man Cimei, this old guy has been getting weaker and weaker these days, and it is estimated that the realm has dropped a lot.

After Xiong Xiaomeng sat beside Chu Nan, she sorted out her thoughts slightly, and whispered to Chu Nan: "Thank you." ”

Chu Nan turned his head slightly, and looked at Xiong Xiaomeng, this girl's eyes were as calm and deep as ever, Chu Nan thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any enemies?" ”

Xiong Xiaomeng: "......"

"I thought you were going to talk to me about something else."

Chu Nan pursed his lips slightly, looking like a serious little adult, and said: "Escorting you to Xizhou this time is a long way, and there are occasional twists and turns in common sense, but if there is an enemy, there will be many variables. ”

"Everyone is on the same road through thick and thin, so let's tell the truth."

Seeing this, the old man on the side felt that this young man was very reliable, but also felt that this young man was a little stiff, smiled kindly and said in a weak voice: "The enemy family doesn't have it, I just want to arrive in Xizhou quietly." ”

"Have you been to Xizhou?"

Suddenly asked, Chu Nan was a little caught off guard, his hometown was in Xizhou, and replied: "I have passed by Xizhou, and I heard that the people there are xenophobic, and the threshold is high. ”

The old man with Cimei snorted, and he didn't continue to ask Chu Nan's specific roots, at the Blue and White Meeting, Chu Nan didn't mention what he did, the four big characters left on the high rock were really upright, but he always felt that Chu Nan had such a penmanship but was a martial artist, which was really a bit strange.

The grilled fish gradually cooked, and Chu Nan's hand cooked it evenly and distributed it evenly.

Grilled fish in the suburbs, naturally it will not be full of color, flavor and flavor, Xiong Xiaomeng looked at the slightly shriveled grilled fish, and her beautiful and cold face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Chu Nan took a big bite and said, "It just doesn't look good, but the sauce is secret, you can eat it with confidence." ”

After Xiong Xiaomeng heard this, he was still a little hesitant.

Chu Nan only felt that the more beautiful the girl, the more difficult it was to serve, so he simply didn't serve, and he didn't eat this food.

Seeing this scene, the old man did not speak, he ate a bite of grilled fish, the taste is really good, it is suspected to be the flavor of the North Sea.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiong Xiaomeng still took a bite, and after the taste entered his tongue, he realized that it was not as unpalatable as he imagined, and sometimes it was really unseemly.

Lao Chen took the lead in eating the first fish, and when he was about to reach out for the second fish, he looked at Chu Nan slightly, his eyes were a little heavy, Chu Nan was eating the fish, and his eyes were slightly closed, and he subtly resonated with the local atmosphere here.

Seeing this, Xiong Xiaomeng and the old man Cimei on the side looked as usual, but they muttered in their hearts, their whereabouts were exposed, and they still trusted Huang Hong very much.

In the woods about thirty feet away from here, there are three people dressed in black light armor, quietly watching the bonfire by the river.

"Traveling in such a simple way is not in line with that person's identity." The leader of the three whispered.

Immediately made a gesture, the three of them will leave here, this time only to spy on intelligence, and have no intention of doing anything.

As soon as the three of them turned around, Chu Nan by the river put down the grilled fish in his hand, kicked the ground with his back feet, and rushed out of twenty-nine zhang in one step, rolling up a surging wind, like a meteor cutting through the night dome.

In an instant, the three of them were killed.

Immediately, the three people in black light armor were taken aback, they were secretive enough, and the light armor on their bodies would subtly seal their aura.

The person who can escort that girl is really not an ordinary person.

Zheng!

Chu Nan didn't hesitate at all, and a knife swung horizontally, and the sword light was like sea water pouring down, engulfing the three people in front of him in an instant.

Before the three of them could fight back, they fell to the light of the knife, which was sharper and heavier than they had imagined.

Chu Nan put the horizontal knife back into the sheath in a dashing manner, pulled off the armor on one of them, and brought it back to the river.

The bonfire was bright, and the black light armor shone in the light of the fire, and there were faint runes circulating.

Chu Nan said with a complicated heart: "Our whereabouts have been exposed, the problem lies with that general, or that general has suffered a secret rebellion from his henchmen. ”

"This light armor can cover the breath, and it took me a little effort to sense the specific location of the three of them."

"I don't know much about the goods, and I still hope that the little cute girl will give me some guidance."

Xiong Xiaomeng saw that his whereabouts were exposed, a trace of boredom flashed on his cold face, and he slowly said after abiding by his mind: "This is a nocturnal armor, it can indeed mask the breath, the armor in your hand is not low, as a martial artist of the Gathering Star Realm, your combat power and perception are stronger than I imagined." ”

"This business, if you want to regret it at this time, it's actually too late."

The old man didn't say a word, these things have to be decided by this eldest lady, this is the rule.

Chu Nan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't mean that." ”

Xiong Xiaomeng said calmly: "It no longer matters how the information is leaked, these three people have a life talisman, and the life talisman will disappear after death, and their leader is deducing and calculating our location at the moment." ”

"It remains to be seen who the enemy is."

Chu Nan didn't feel troublesome, but just said lukewarm: "I didn't expect you to have so many enemies." ”

After Xiong Xiaomeng heard this, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, as if the mountains and rivers were about to avalanche, and said lukewarmly: "But I think that this matter is naturally indispensable to Ling Yuzong's handiwork, we have no common enemies, but we are all in the same carriage." ”

If it weren't for the sequelae of devouring the two blue flowers that were too serious, Xiong Xiaomeng would never explain so much to Chu Nan, which was a bit embarrassing.

Chu Nan turned around and squatted by the river and began to wash his hands, his eyes flashed with various thoughts, and he pondered: "Without further ado, continue to hurry, I heard that military general say that the reward will be very good after arriving in Xizhou this time?" ”

After Xiong Xiaomeng heard this, he said without thinking: "It's richer than you imagined." ”

Chu Nan smiled faintly, he had never imagined the amount of remuneration, he just wanted to get the remuneration he deserved, and he never thought of making a windfall on this girl.

The girl seemed to be overthinking.
