Teng Qinglei roamed the world in his early years, and he was well-informed, so he naturally knew more than anyone present, he nodded and said: "Well, the outside of the Sai seems to be vast, but in fact, the land is barren and resources are extremely scarce, and if you want to shepherd sheep, you need a lot of grassland." But these meadows are controlled by some large forces. ”

"Those nomads want to shepherd sheep on the grass, they need to submit to these forces, and the forces give them land, on the contrary, these nomads need to pay a certain amount of cattle, sheep and horses to these forces every year, even women and children, including this so-called Zen Buddhism, hey, Saiwai is more chaotic than our Kyushu, those nomads fight each other in order to fight for territory, almost every year some tribes are wiped out, very bloody!"

Hearing Teng Qinglei's words, Han Wenqing suddenly showed surprise: "It's just that these forces want women, why are they robbing children?"

Teng Qinglei continued: "The main purpose of snatching children is to provide fresh blood for the forces, and any force needs to cultivate younger generations, and those forces outside the Cyprus must do the same, so that the foundation of the power can flourish for a long time." The nomads fight each other, and it doesn't matter if you manage their forces, as long as you turn them in on time, even if you slaughter all the other tribes, these forces will not say a word! Although the internal struggle of those nomads outside the fortress is very fierce, they never kill children. ”

"Why?" Han Wenqing became more and more puzzled the more he listened.

Teng Qinglei said: "Those forces outside the Cypriot have long ordered that children cannot be killed, because this is the cornerstone of their future. Zen Buddhism is relatively stable, and it will not be as barbaric as other forces, and they have taught the children of the nomadic people since they were young, taught them to practice martial arts and read and write, and cultivated their loyalty to Zen Buddhism! The accumulation of thousands of years has made this Zen Buddhism develop rapidly, and it is now regarded as the most powerful force outside the Zen Buddhism. ”

Lu Chen said: "These red-robed lamas were silent all the way, they looked quite self-disciplined, I have always guessed what their origin is, but I didn't expect it to be so simple!"

"Zen Buddhism is very strict with its disciples and has its own beliefs, these red-robed lamas can appear in the Kyushu Continent, it must have been invited by Jia Tianpeng at a huge cost!"

Murong Ziyun nodded thoughtfully: "I see!"

"With these lamas here, I think this road should be much more stable!" Han Wenqing said a little innocently.

Lu Chen advised: "Don't be careless, many times it is a mistake in front of the horse, this Jia Tianpeng is the third son of Jia Caishen, this time it is very dangerous to return to the family to seize the throne, do you think his brothers will let it go?"

"Lu Chen is right, let's escort them out of Qingzhou even if it's done, don't meddle with things!" Murong Ziyun said.

After dinner, the disciples of the Sword Sect went back to their rooms to rest, while Jia Tianpeng's butler put the wooden box full of gold, silver and jewelry into the guest room on the first floor of the inn and specially sent someone to take strict care of it.

In the dead of night, Lu Chenpan was sitting in the guest room meditating and cultivating, when suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the window, and he was startled.

Then he pushed open the window and ran out.

On the ridge of the roof, a black shadow turned into the inn, like a civet cat, tiptoed into the last room on the left side of the second floor, gently pried the door bolt with a knife and got in, and came out after a while.

Lu Chen came to the second floor, just in time to see the other party coming out of the man in black from Jia Tianpeng's housekeeper's house, and then shouted: "Who are you!" With this low shout, the people in the entire inn woke up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black ran away, directly slammed into the window at the end of the aisle, and flew out.

Lu Chen reacted quickly and hurriedly chased out.

Snow is everywhere in the Iron Emperor City in the middle of the night, so you can see far away. Under the reflection of the snow, a black shadow can be clearly seen speeding through the narrow dark alley.

"Where to escape!" Lu Chen jumped up in the air in an attic, and with a wave of his finger, a large number of copper coins flew out like rain in the sky.

The man in black stepped on the wall of the dark alley, and his body flipped in mid-air, dodging the copper coins that shot quickly. The moment he landed, he shook his hand and threw two bricks.

A cold sword light flashed, and the two bricks instantly turned into two halves in mid-air.

"Good skills!" Lu Chenlang laughed and jumped down in the air, like a flying eagle flying high and swooping down on a hare scurrying in the grass.

The black-clothed man was startled, his body burst out like a tiger, his internal strength surged, and he slapped Lu Chen's chest with a fierce palm, and there was a roar in the air: "Thunder and Golden Palm!"

"Not good!" Feeling the oncoming momentum, Lu Chen stretched out his left hand like lightning and blasted it over.

"Peng!" There was a muffled sound, the air between the two of them shook violently, Lu Chen was knocked away by a fierce force for a few steps, and the other party also retreated a few steps, which was considered to be equal.

"His left hand?" the man in black looked solemnly at the other party's bandaged left arm, and his eyes flashed with surprise. His 'Thunder Shattered Golden Palm' has reached the pinnacle of perfection, and there are only a handful of people who can take a blow from him head-on without any injuries.

This Lu Chen was able to slam down with one palm, without any damage, and he had some ability.

"Who sent you, and why are you following us?" Lu Chen shouted coldly.

The man in black pointed at Lu Chen and warned: "You'd better be nosy, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

"It seems that there is someone else behind you! Since you are here, don't think about leaving!" Lu Chen held the soft sword in his hand and shook slightly.

The man in black sneered: "It's up to you!" After speaking, he quickly took out a handful of lime from his arms and slammed it towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's expression flashed with a hint of vigilance, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he withdrew and flew back. However, his retreat gave the other party an opportunity, and he disappeared in an instant.

"Damn, let him escape!" The man in black disappeared, Lu Chen suddenly sighed secretly, turned around and walked back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, all the disciples of the Sword Sect gathered on the first floor of the inn, as if they were facing a great enemy.

After seeing Lu Chen come back, Murong Ziyun stepped forward, and she said with concern: "How is it, has that person been caught?"

"No, let him escape, this guy is very cunning!" Lu Chen ran to the table and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

Han Wenqing came to the side and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No, after two moves, the other party's strength is not below me!" Lu Chen said slowly.

Teng Qinglei asked, "Is there only one person?"

"Well, I guess someone sent someone to find out!" Lu Chen guessed.

Murong Ziyun said solemnly: "Things are really not as simple as imagined, they must have a back-up move!"

"This is just the beginning, some people can't help it, this Jia Tianpeng's opponent is not simple!" Lu Chen sighed softly.

Murong Ziyun asked, "The man in black sneaked in, did he lose anything?"

"No!" Han Wenqing shook his head.

"Me neither!" said Fuji Qinglei.

At this time, Jia Tianpeng's housekeeper hurriedly walked down from the second floor and asked, "How is it, everyone, have you caught the man in black?"

"The other party is very cunning, let him run away!" Lu Chen said helplessly.

"Rubbish!" followed by the housekeeper and his daughter Jia Qing, who couldn't help but taunt.

Han Wenqing said angrily: "Hey, how do you talk, our duty is only to escort you, not to help you catch thieves!"

"I can't even catch a thief, and I still have the face to say!" Jia Qing sneered, his tone was very mean.

"Qing'er, don't speak!" the housekeeper immediately stopped his daughter's rude behavior.

Lu Chen arched his hand and said, "Butler, the man in black just broke into your guest room, is there anything missing?"

"No less, no less, it's just that the road map I drew was flipped over!" The butler was worried.

"What is that?" Murong Ziyun wondered.

The housekeeper sighed lightly and explained: "That's the map I carefully drew according to the geographical location of Qingzhou, according to the itinerary, the convoy will resist the Tiandi Bridge at the junction of Qingzhou and Yangzhou within half a month, and the lord has arranged for someone to meet us there!"

"Can the itinerary be changed?" Lu Chen's brows furrowed together and he said.

The housekeeper shook his head and said: "No, the route is customized by me and my master's friend, if you have to change it, you have to inform the master and his friend, it takes too long to come and go!"

"Then what should I do, the man in black has looked through the road map of the convoy, someone will definitely ambush us halfway!" Murong Ziyun said in a serious tone.

The butler was annoyed and said, "It's all my fault, if I burned the road map, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"

"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided! Since the other party dares to ambush us, it must be prepared, and it's useless to worry!" Lu Chen was relieved.

The housekeeper sighed bitterly: "This can only be the case!"

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, don't be afraid!" Teng Qinglei obviously experienced a big battle, so his tone was very relaxed.

"Well, Brother Lu is right, what should come is always coming, and you can't hide. It's about to be dawn, so I'm afraid those thieves will come!" said the butler, very politely.
