Chapter 16: Escort
After this small episode of Su Mu, there was another fierce battle on the competition platform.
Half an hour later, the other seven guards were finally selected.
The man in white walked over to the eight people and said, "You are the escort team of our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, after transporting this batch of goods, each person will get a thousand taels of silver and a martial arts, and in the afternoon after a day, come to the door of the Chamber of Commerce to gather." ”
After speaking, everyone dispersed, Su Mu also returned to the yamen, walked into his room, and prepared to improve himself again, he put the remaining ten points of potential into the [Copper Body Gong], suddenly the skin became tighter, and the bones made a sound like fried beans, Su Mu was all red, exhaled a long breath, and slowly changed back to the original.
Su Mu took out the stone box from the head of the bed, took out the quenching pill, and took it one by one, a strong tearing sensation came out of the bone membrane, he took all the quenching pills, and a burst of pain came out, Su Mu gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his neck and forehead burst out one by one, and this pain lasted for half a column of incense before slowly dissipating.
When I opened the system, I saw that the [Bronze Body Gong] had reached Dacheng, and when I stood up, the muscles of the whole body were extremely tight, and the eight-pack abdominal muscles were like a knife carving, although the person was still not strong, but it showed a streamlined beauty, and the body was also raised a few centimeters, and it came to the 180 mark.
Putting the bamboo white sword at the head of the bed, Su Mu also lay on the bed and fell asleep slowly.
When I woke up, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, I went to the bathhouse to wash my body, walked out of the yamen, bought ten meat buns and some dry food to eat on the road, and walked towards the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce while eating, only to see that there were already a few people waiting in front of the door, Su Mu did not go directly, but sat cross-legged under the tree next to the road.
Several other people also arrived one after another, and the man in white walked out of the chamber of commerce, looked at the seven people and said, "What about the other person?" Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, while Jiang Rui looked at the tree where Su Mu was, and Su Mu found that everyone had arrived, so he walked over.
The man in white glanced at Su Mu and said, "The people have arrived, let me introduce myself, my name is Liu Daoxuan, that is, the captain of the security team who took the goods this time, okay, don't talk much, everyone get ready, and set off immediately." With that, the convoy of freight also came out, and there were two wagons in total, each with a large box and a groom.
"Ready to go!" Liu Daoxuan said to everyone and walked at the front, while the other eight people were in groups of four or four, corresponding to the four corners of the carriage.
The group walked slowly on the official road, and after walking for a long time, they saw that the sun had gone down and the dark curtain had fallen.
"Stop! After Liu Daoxuan spoke, he took out the tent and distributed it to everyone, everyone quickly set up the tent, each took out their own food and ate it, after eating, Liu Daoxuan said to everyone: "Everyone rest early and hold vigil in pairs, alternating after two hours." ”
The vigil time and groups were allocated, everyone went into the tent to rest, Su Mu was divided into the first group, and with him was a man with a Yanling knife on his back, the man glanced at Su Mu and then walked to the side, Su Mu also glanced at the man, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Time passed quickly, two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and another group came to alternate Su Mu and the two.
Su Mu got into the tent and fell asleep slowly, woke up naturally after three hours, and after getting out of the tent, he found that it was already dawn, and there were several people eating breakfast outside.
Slowly, the sun rose, and everyone woke up, put away their tents, had a bite of breakfast, and set off again.
"Everyone be careful, there is Niujiao Mountain in front, and there is a group of bandits on the mountain, about thirty people, and three leaders, so I hope everyone cheers up. Liu Daoxuan briefed the escort team on the situation in Niujiao Mountain.
The convoy slowly passed through Niujiao Mountain, and suddenly the bushes on both sides moved, and everyone instantly took out their weapons, only to see that there was no movement in the bushes for a long time, and a man said: "Alas, it turned out to be the wind, and I thought there were really bandits, really, scaring Lao Tzu ......" The man did not finish speaking, only to see a knife fly out of the bushes, directly beheading the man, a wide-eyed head rolled down, and blood gushed out.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone get ready!" Liu Daoxuan drew his sword and shouted at the escort.
Suddenly, one after another bandits emerged from the trees on both sides.
Slowly, a big man with a steel knife in his hand walked out, followed by two men in black with swords that looked the same.
"Yo, isn't this Director Liu of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, why is this, you have to pass through my Niujiao Mountain today. ”
The big man said to Liu Daoxuan, and Liu Daoxuan looked at him with a vigilant expression.
"It seems that Director Liu doesn't give face, hahaha! Brothers, kill me!"
A group of bandits directly killed Su Mu and the others.
"What are you waiting for, kill!" Liu Daoxuan took the lead and killed the bandits.
The seven members of the escort team also followed, and a scuffle began at once.
Su Muzhu's white sword came out of the sheath, directly beheaded the two little bandits, and then swept towards the big man, only to see Liu Daoxuan and Jiang Rui fighting against the three bandit leaders.
A sword stabbed out, Su Mu led away a man in black, and the two came to the clearing.
Su Mu didn't say much, and directly stabbed Zhubai towards the man's heart.
The man in black resisted with his horizontal swords one after another, and the two swords clashed with a crisp sound.
Su Mu used the [Boiling Rain Sword Technique], and the speed of the bamboo white sword stabbing became faster and faster, and the man had to give up attacking and turn to defense.
The consummate [Boiling Rain Sword Technique] is not only like this, the silver light of the bamboo white sword flashed, and Su Mu opened the twenty-four acupoints, and the momentum was like a rainbow, stabbing out towards the man.
Before the man could react, the sword wind was already roaring, and a sword pierced his heart, and the man never imagined that Su Mu's sword would be so fast until he died.
He drew the sword from the man's heart, and a drop of blood dripped from the blade.
glanced at the bamboo white sword, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's a good sword." ”
After doing this, Su Mu ran towards the other two leaders again.
I only saw that Liu Daoxuan and the big man were fighting evenly with the big man, and Jiang Rui had been suppressed by the man in black.
Su Mu turned around and flew towards Jiang Rui, holding a bamboo white sword and stabbing at the back of the neck of the black cloth, Jiang Rui was overjoyed when he saw Su Mu coming, and hurriedly accelerated his swing of the knife.
The black cloth jumped forward and swung his sword at Jiang Rui, and he crossed his two knives to block the sword.
And Su Mu had already come behind the black clothes, and the bamboo white sword stabbed out a sword light, and the black clothes hurriedly turned around to resist, but he had already entered the encirclement of Su Mu and the two.
raised his sword to resist Su Mu's stabbing sword, but Su Mu would not stop there.
Swept Zhubai upwards and slashed diagonally towards the neck of the black cloth, who was about to dodge sideways, but was blocked by Jiang Rui's double knives.
With a pop, blood splattered, and a huge head rolled towards Su Mu's feet.
Throwing the bamboo white sword, a few drops of blood dripped down, and the bamboo white sword was still as bright as new.
After doing this, the bamboo white was returned to the sheath, and Liu Daoxuan had already divided the winner and loser, the big man was killed by him, and he himself was covered with scars, and the blood stained his white clothes red.
......
Continuing on the road, five hours later, I vaguely saw a city gate.
"It's here. Liu Daoxuan said in a low voice, and everyone quickly quickened up, came to the city gate, paid some money to the soldiers guarding the city, and walked into Anning City.
Everyone came to the branch of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Anning City and handed over the goods to the steward.
Then I stayed in the Chamber of Commerce for one night, and the tasks issued by the system were completed.
Su Mu clicked on the system, and the system made a sound.
【Quest completed, whether to receive the reward】
"Yes!"
【Successfully claimed】
Gain Potential: [200]
Su Mu did not rush to improve his internal strength, but put the bamboo white sword aside and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The morning rooster reported the dawn, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, washed up and went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, Liu Daoxuan said goodbye to the other party, and everyone returned to Gufeng City, on the way back, because there was no goods, everyone used light skills to speed up the return.
Three hours later, everyone had returned to Gufeng City, Liu Daoxuan hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Thank you for this escort, early tomorrow morning, come to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to receive the remuneration you deserve." ”
After speaking, Su Mu walked towards the yamen, and as soon as he walked into the yamen, he saw Xu Guang walking out.
"Eh, Xiao Su, what have you been doing in the past two days, I haven't seen you. ”
"I have something going on in my hometown, so I didn't come to Yamen. After speaking, he walked into the room by himself, closed the doors and windows, and Su Mu was ready to improve his internal strength.
Turn on the system, click on the [Eat Qi Breathing Technique], a hundred points of potential disappeared in an instant, and the true qi that appeared out of thin air surged directly to the twelve acupoints, which was opened in an instant, and the momentum on Su Mu's body rose suddenly, and he exhaled a long breath before slowly recovering, and the true qi in the dantian surged, and the true qi in the thirty-six acupoints on his body operated.
After glancing at the system, he saw that he could no longer continue to add points, so Su Mu had no choice but to give up, and then clicked to the [Swimming Hexagram].
In an instant, a picture appeared in my mind, and I saw a sturdy young man, who was slapping the iron tree, twice at once...... I don't know how many times he patted it, but he saw more and more cracks around the iron tree, and finally the iron tree was shattered, and then Su Mu's [Swimming Hexagram] also reached Dacheng, and he displayed the hexagram palm, each move and style, all with its own unique charm.
There were still fifty points of potential left, so I put away the system, played a set of hexagrams, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to close my eyes and recuperate.
