Chapter 28 Business Ways

Shen Fei followed the traces of the fight all the way, a large number of soldiers came and went, and it was not difficult to find where Tuoba Lie was, but there was an episode in the middle, and there was actually a strange man shrouded in black clothes who blocked his way forward.

The man in black was a small man, shrouded in a black robe, and his face was hidden tightly by a hood. A powerful demon beast that looked like a frog, but was much more powerful and domineering than a frog stood on his shoulder, stepping on one side of his shoulder with its left and right feet, staring at Shen Fei with fierce eyes, and there was a wise light in his eyes, not chaos.

From the bird demon that attacked at night, to this strange demon beast, they didn't seem to be controlled by their minds, and it seems that there are still a lot of secrets within the Tongtian Sect!

"Canglang!" Shen Fei took out his sword without warning, and the blade went straight forward, with an indomitable momentum, as if he wanted to wipe out all the guys who dared to stand in the way. The demon beast and the man in black leaped up at the same time, extremely fast, one left and one right.

After a few fights, Shen Fei knew that the priest of the Tongtian Sect was not strong in hand-to-hand combat, but this person completely broke his previous cognition, not only was he extremely fast, but the demon beast next to him also had an independent consciousness and was able to interact with his master bilaterally.

The demon beast and the man in black dodged left and right, and the long sword in Shen Fei's hand slashed through the path that separated them from the left and right, and without stopping, he went straight to Wang Lin, and was about to approach the other party, when suddenly a bunch of toad-like small beasts rushed out of the grass and pounced on Shen Fei, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Immortal power explosion!" Shen Fei used the trick of immortal power explosion, and burst out of the immortal power from the air holes of his body, and all the little demons who were clinging to his body were defeated into meat sauce under this immortal power explosion.

Shen Fei thus gave up approaching Wang Lin, thinking about it carefully, the tactic of capturing the thief and capturing the king first was not feasible, after all, they were all puppets controlled by demon beasts now. At that moment, he jumped high, and his whole body was covered with crimson light, becoming the only bit of light in the dark night, and then, the cold sword intent was like the Yangtze River bursting the embankment, and the entire courtyard was flooded in a moment.

This was the scene that appeared in front of Tuobari's eyes, and in his opinion, it was tantamount to a beam of light shining into the darkness!

Giving hope to people in despair seems to have become something that Shen Fei has been accomplishing for some time. Saved Nalan Ruoxue from Yan Tiantian's hands; From the hands of Changzang monks, he saved the life of Cuilanxuan's second brother; from the hands of the three masters of Tongtian Sect, he saved the pure spirit monk and saved the lives of all the people in Jinling City; since he had the strength, Shen Fei was obsessed with using the power in his hands to help the weak, and rescued those human beings who were very similar to his former self, who were also weak and helpless, which was the chivalrous spirit in his heart. Shen Fei has an essential difference from other immortals, that is, he is not always high, not always in his eyes, not always unconcerned about himself, and does not care about the sufferings of the world. Shen Fei is a person who has come out of adversity, he understands the suffering at the bottom, and is willing to use the power in his hands to solve the suffering mortals who are incomparably similar to him.

Because of such ordinary and simple thoughts, Shen Fei can always appear when others are most desperate, turn the tide, and give light guidance to the dark lost.

Shen Fei soared into the air like a bird, his red light radiating brightly, and the cold sword intent roared in all directions, accurately striking the strange little beast lying on the soldier's neck. The sword intent is in the heart, and where the mind is, it is the sword intent.

The cold sword intent rushed in all directions, the strange little beasts were cut down one after another, and the soldiers withered on the spot, fainted, unconscious.

When the man in black saw this, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what kind of expression his face was hidden in the black hood, and gradually receded, merging with the darkness in the environment.

The sword intent rushed in all directions, the strange little beast was destroyed, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, including Wang Lin. When everything was over and there was no more danger, Shen Fei landed from the air, dragged Tuoba Lie's back, and sent a second-class elixir into his mouth.

At the entrance of the elixir, Tuoba Lie immediately felt the refreshing power swinging in the meridians, and his physical strength quickly recovered, and he grabbed Shen Fei's hand and said, "Shen ...... Shen Daozun, you're finally here...... Quick, save Manager Yue. Pulling Shen Fei straight to the front of Chief Yue, at this time, Chief Yue was pressed under him by many soldiers, and his body was covered with wounds, no different from a dead person.

Shen Fei probed his snort and found that a breath was still there, and he also sent a second-class elixir over, Tuoba Lie was finally relieved, all the essence and energy in his body were dissipated, and it was difficult to support it, and his body leaned forward and fainted.

A rainbow light flew in, and Chu Xie landed next to Shen Fei, sitting side by side with him in what looked like a pile of dead people. Shen Fei complained to him: "You came early tomorrow, why didn't you help!"

Chu Xie said: "It's just a little beast, how can it be worth my Uncle Chu's hands!"

Shen Fei said angrily: "You guy is not light or heavy, if Tuoba Lie really hangs up, there will be no need to go to the imperial capital." ”

Chu Xie sneered at each other: "You originally went down the mountain to preach, why don't you get involved with the forces of the world." ”

"Without the support of human forces, how can faith spread? ”

"Hopefully you've made the right choice. ”

Of course it is true, this is the only way for Taoism to spread within the borders of the people. ”

"I hope so. ”

"By the way, have you seen the man in black, the aura on his body is very weird, and it must be very big. ”

"Is there such a person, it's a pity that he wasn't seen by Uncle Ben, otherwise he must have looked good. ”

"It's not the result of you standing by and watching, a top powerhouse was sent to the front in vain, he didn't know how to cherish it, and he missed the opportunity!" Actually, Shen Fei really blamed Chu Xie, although Chu Xie didn't help Tuoba Lie, but he was not idle, he went to monitor Linghu Xuanzhou, and when Chu Xie wanted to come, there was such a big movement outside, Linghu Xuanzhou would inevitably escape, as long as he escaped, he could stop it and have a big fight with Linghu Xuanzhou. What Chu Xie didn't expect was that no matter how loud the movement outside was, Linghu Hanging Boat slept like a dead pig, without the slightest intention of escaping, and he understood that this journey should be an endless battle, and he needed to have the determination to die either you die, that is, I died, so his interest doubled and his enthusiasm increased.

......

Green grass grows on the side of the road, and an avenue leads to the sky.

To the same place, there are always two roads to choose from, the so-called official road is the road built by the government organization, only the army and officials can use, on which there is a post station every twenty-five miles, the post station is stationed with officers and soldiers, equipped with a small amount of materials, to meet the necessary expenses to continue to move forward; Teahouses, or a hundred and eighty miles apart, there is not a place to rest and settle, it may be flat, it may be rugged, in short, the trade road is not built by the government, there is no uniform specification, any possibility may appear on it.

Leaving for the imperial capital of Chang'an, in addition to the two-way choice of taking the water route and the land route, there is also the difference between taking the official road or taking the commercial route. Logically speaking, officers and men should naturally take the official road for a long-distance march, and it is undoubtedly the best choice for officers and men to have a post station where the official road is flat and there are officers and soldiers stationed there. But in the face of a powerful enemy, taking the official road is equivalent to exposing all the whereabouts, and it is easy to be ambushed, and the Tongtian Sect can even break into the heavily guarded Nantong City, let alone a small post station;

The official road and the commercial road are connected to the imperial capital Chang'an and the seaside town of Nantong at the same time, and Shen Fei and Tuoba Lie must carefully discuss and study before making a decision.

In the tavern only ten miles away from Nantong City, a tired merchant dragged an even more tired trailer and walked in. The tavern was rudimentary, divided into inside and outside by a fence wall visible on the opposite side, with a place for the horses to rest for a short time, and a place for the travelers to stay, very basic, with a high roof covered with dried thatch and leaves, and the beams were all wooden, so thin and long that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow it down.

Everyone knows that the closest to the Imperial Jinling is Nantong City, but Nantong City is a military town, and business travelers and rangers are not allowed to enter, so a transit station like a tavern is indispensable, not very luxurious, and may also attract a large number of guests to stop here.

The tavern is densely packed with boxy wooden tables, each with a bench on all four sides, in order to accommodate more guests. Here, no matter how successful a businessman you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can only endure and share a table with others, because there is no distinction between high and low in the face of survival.

"Little Er, let's have four bowls of noodles!"

"Little Er, make a pot of tea!"

"Little Er, last plate of meat!"

In the tavern, business was ridiculously good, and everyone pulled their necks and shouted loudly, for fear that the waiters in the store would forget about themselves. The same scene is played out in the restaurant every day, and the second brother and the shopkeeper are also repeating the same homework every day, serving the same crowd, and the days look the same as usual, until the dust is raised from the end of the road, and there are some changes in life.

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one!" A large number of footsteps, due to the high blend of width and frequency of the steps, overlapped into an uplifting drum beat, and approached the tavern in unison. The busy people raised their heads one after another, and people were very curious about which business tycoon was so powerful and went out with so many followers. Everyone can hear that with such a loud pace, the number of people will not be small.

The curiosity of mankind is always endless, even in danger and is completely unaware, and as the sight becomes clearer, most of the people who are happy to see the excitement open their mouths wide, and with surprise and doubt, they stand up from their seats, for nothing else, for it is not a rich merchant at all, but an integrated and marching imperial army. People don't know why the Imperial army is here, but they know that the Imperial army is one of the most powerful forces in the empire, even if you are a prince and general, you have to bow down in front of the army. As a result, most of the people in the tavern chose to stand up and make way for the arriving soldiers.

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one!" The marching pace was uniform, and the first three leading figures rode on tall horses, all of them were full of style and heroic martial arts, only one of them was wearing military uniforms, and the other two seemed to be people from the rivers and lakes, wearing Taoist uniforms that they were not very familiar with.

The three men arrived in the lead on horses, and the soldiers lined up in four columns, following behind them with uniform steps, and the smoke and dust spread under the feet of the soldiers, drifting to the sky, forming a cloud of dust.

"Huh!" When they came closer, the three of them didn't move, but the elder behind them who looked a few years old, but his chin was unusually clean, dismounted and walked over: "Shopkeeper, give you an hour, prepare 300 catties of beef, 50 liters of water, and 20 catties of hay. ”

From the tone, it can be seen that this person is very domineering, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries resting here, but no one dares to protest a little, because everyone can hear that this man's tone is sharp, his chin is clean, and his body has a gloomy aura, and he is probably a eunuch. And they know better that only the imperial royal family can have eunuchs, and it is estimated that one of the three horses must be from the royal family, or even all of them are royalty.

I immediately wondered why the people in the royal family didn't take the spacious and unmanned official road, but pended to walk this crooked path and compete with the already exhausted "horses" for food.

Everyone is puzzled in their hearts, and they don't show it on the surface, depending on what the tavern owner says. It took a long time for the latter to emerge from the so-called "kitchen", squinting his eyes at the servant with a brutal tone, and then at the army behind him, and smiled: "It doesn't take an hour, half an hour is almost enough." Brothers, military travelers, you should bear with it first, slow down, and take care of it!"

"I can't bear it, I dare to fight with the army, and I delay the time of the march, all of which are felonies of killing the head!" ”

"Okay, let's get the little one!"

When the shopkeeper turned into the kitchen, the person who had been shouting before suddenly showed a flattering smile, and when he returned to the three horses, he seemed to have changed into a different person, and said softly: "Master, everything is arranged, and at most an hour will be able to continue on the road." ”
