There are three gates in Hongtian City, each of which is more than seven or eight meters wide, and the three gates have been opened at this moment.

The sergeants sped up the inspection, and when they saw that there were no anomalies, they all let them in.

Outside, the rain is getting heavier and louder, and although it is annoying, it also brings a burst of fresh air.

"Stop, where are you calling, what are you doing? What's in the car?"

A sergeant stopped them and asked.

Ah Da hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey, I've seen the military master, we are Pingyang City's performers, and we came to Hongtian City to beg for food, and the cars are all pulled by some guys." ”

He took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his bosom and handed it over quietly.

The sergeant looked left and right, put it in his arms, his face was directly happy, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be an artist, okay, good, you guys go in quickly." ”

"Thank you, Master Jun. ”

Ah Da hurriedly answered and drove the carriage into the city.

Li Qing and others followed closely behind.

The streets are extremely wide and extend in all directions, far from the small pattern of Binh Duong City.

After they entered the city, they were a little blindsided for a while, and they didn't know where the Wu Gang was.

"Second Master, are we going to go directly to the Martial Arts Gang?"

Ah Da asked.

"Let's find an inn to live in first, and then inquire about the affairs of the Wu Gang at the inn." ”

Qi Yun said.

"Good. ”

Ah Da immediately picked up the carriage and headed for the distance.

The inn is easy to find, and when you walk out of the street not far away, you will see a bustling inn, full of lanterns, and the door is like a city, bustling.

But as they got closer, it soon began to rain heavily.

Throughout the street, countless people were scurrying and scolding.

The vendor who set up the stall turned even greener, rolled up the stall, and quickly pulled it towards the other shops behind him.

"Holy..."

"Damn, why is it raining all of a sudden?"

...

Ah Da stopped the carriage in front of the inn in the [Yingxian Tower], walked into the inn, and quickly booked a room.

The room they wanted was not a separate room, but a courtyard.

There are three rooms in the courtyard, which is considered a suite, just enough for them to put a silver cart.

The shopkeeper led them all the way to the courtyard, and just as they were about to retreat, Qi Yun called out to him.

"Little second brother, where is this martial arts gang, do you know?"

"Wu Gang, are a few masters going to Wu Gang?"

Dian Xiaoer said: "The location of the Wu Gang is in the north city of our Hongtian City, at least more than ten miles away from here, and when you arrive in the north city, you can know them if you inquire casually." ”

"Beicheng? Okay, thank you little brother. ”

Qi Yun nodded.

The shopkeeper held an umbrella and quickly retreated.

"Second master, should we go over and let me know in advance?"

Ah Da asked.

"You stay, I'll take a look. ”

Qi Yun said.

Ah Da and the others nodded.

After dinner, Qi Yun held the oil umbrella, walked out of the room, and walked in the direction of Beicheng.

...

Direction of North City.

Martial arts.

In the open hall, the red carpet was spread on the floor, and the lights and candles on both sides were shining, and a total of thirty or forty people stood up.

Up there were seven or eight chairs.

There is a person sitting on each chair, with a deep breath and a thin breath, and at a glance you know that you are a master of internal strength.

In the center of these seven or eight chairs, there sat an old man with white hair and white beard, who looked to be eighty or ninety years old, with a broad, burly body, a purple robe, and an unfathomable aura.

His long, thick fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the seat.

"Guo Protector, they have been missing for seven days, what do you think of this matter?"

The old man's voice was low, with an indescribable majesty.

There was some silence.

A moment later.

A middle-aged man on the chair said: "Helper, with all due respect, this is obviously a strange act, our people are missing there in waves, it is better to report it to the Ao family as soon as possible." ”

The face of the person next to him changed.

Someone sighed and said, "Report to the Ao family, this time you have to pay some heavy price, who should you replace this time?" Elder Zhao, are you coming?"

"You..."

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he said, "Elder Fang, I'm also doing this for the good of everyone, why are you provoking me so much?"

Someone next to him shook his head lightly and said, "The price of letting the Ao family make a move is too heavy, every time they make a move, they have to come to us to harvest blood food once, and the last time they absorbed dozens of brothers, this is terrible." ”

The others also nodded their heads with deep shock.

Although the Ao family is a mysterious force behind them, they really don't want to deal with this force at all.

It is not so much that the Ao family is their backer, but that they are the dogs raised by the Ao family and the blood food they raise.

From time to time, the strong men of the Ao family would come out in search of blood food.

Either absorb their help, or let them help find others.

In the face of this force, everyone is afraid.

And once they encounter strange things, they can't easily go to the Ao family to take action.

Every time they are allowed to make a move, they have to pay the price of blood and food of dozens of people, or nearly a hundred people.

Although their martial arts gang is powerful, they can't withstand such torture.

On the surface, they seem to be infinitely beautiful, but only these real upper echelons understand how humble they are.

In front of the Ao family, everyone is like a dog.

Even their helpers can only grovel.

"The price of the Ao family's move is too great. ”

Zhao Tianlong, the leader of the Wu Gang, sighed.

Everyone had complicated faces.

"Helper, if you really can't do it, you can only give up that iron mine first. ”

One sighed.

The others nodded.

The cause of the incident was an iron mine.

It was a high-quality iron mine, and the iron and stone in it were extremely valuable, and were exported to the surrounding cities, making them an excellent material for forging weapons, and bringing them a lot of profit.

Originally, there was nothing to do with that iron mine.

But half a month ago, the iron mine suddenly began to have an accident, and people disappeared there one after another.

In the beginning, people only disappeared at night, and gradually during the day, people also began to disappear.

During the day, when iron ore is being mined, when it is opened, people will suddenly disappear, and there will be no one alive or dead.

Later, everyone panicked and fled in terror.

After Guo Protector, a master in their gang, learned the news, he took someone to the iron mine in person seven days ago, but after he went, Guo Protector never returned.

Guo Protector's martial arts cultivation is extremely profound, surpassing the Divine Light Realm, and reaching a more advanced [Internal Cultivation] realm, with a deep and unfathomable true qi.

He once had a record of killing weird people with his true qi.

That's why the helper was relieved to let him go.

But no one expected the result.

After Guo Protector went, he never came back.

Zhao Tianlong's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and after a while, he said gloomily: "I can only give up that iron mine..."
