In the past two days, Shen Yong and his entourage have arrived in Lanzhou. Lanzhou was the first important town after leaving the desert, and the caravan still had to buy goods here, so Shen Yong returned the two horses he borrowed from them to them, and then cherished each other.

At this time, it was already noon, and the two of them only felt hungry, so they found a decent restaurant and sat down, and ordered a few drinks and dishes. Shen Yong said to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, we are going south to Jingxiang, and we are bothered to help find two fast horses, and I should be grateful." As he spoke, he took out a few taels of silver from his bosom, "These rights should be fixed money, if it is a good horse, I have my own plans." The little two took the silver into his arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it must be a good horse!" After speaking, he turned around and went out.

Xue Qi was originally a lady of everyone, never drank alcohol, but I didn't know what evil I was in today, and suddenly I had to drink a few glasses with Shen Yong, but I didn't know that after two cups, Xue Qi's face was already red. Shen Yong laughed and asked her to eat more vegetables, how could she not get drunk if she drank on such an empty stomach. On the wine table of the two, they talked and talked, which was very enjoyable. Just eating and eating, Xue Qi remembered Xue Tong, they grew up together since childhood, Xue Tong also loves to eat Xue Qi's cooked food, whether it is unpalatable or delicious, he sweeps it away every time, so that Xue Qi is full of a sense of accomplishment, at this time, when he sees the good wine and food on the table, he really wants to wrap it all up and give it to Xue Tong to eat.

Shen Yong was about to comfort her, when she suddenly heard a sound at the door, and a person walked in outside the door, Shen Yong saw that he was slender and long, and his clothes were patched all over the place, but there was a sense of nobility between his eyebrows that did not match his clothes, and he couldn't help but sigh that this person was so weird. As soon as the strange man sat down, he raised his hand and slapped it on the table, shouting: "Shopkeeper, serve a bowl of noodles, sprinkle the family is hungry, hurry up!"

The bartender saw that he was a beggar, and he didn't want to deal with it, but when he saw him making a move, he must be a person who practices martial arts.

Shen Yong squinted his eyes and glanced at it, only to see several horsemen and horses coming in the distance, and one of the first people shouted loudly: "Master, the stinky one is here!" Someone responded: "Okay, let me pull him out." Before he could finish speaking, several strong young men rushed into the store and surrounded the strange man. The man was in danger, but he didn't panic, and he didn't raise his head and said: "If you want to fight out, this place is small, and if you break something, I don't have the money to pay for it." When the strong men heard this, they looked at each other one by one, and suddenly heard someone outside the door: "You come out first." A few strong men just left the store, and Shen Yong secretly said in his heart, this man in Tsing Yi, who was called "Master", was a good man who did not change his face. Looking up, the strange man picked up the bowl, drank the noodle soup in the bowl, and then walked towards the door of the store, and after a few steps, he shook a few copper plates with his hand, and fell in front of the bartender who was already too frightened to hide aside.

Shen Yong was curious and looked out of the house, wanting to see what would happen next. As soon as the strange man came out of the store, he was surrounded by more than a dozen big men, and Shen Yong couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him when he saw the person coming. Suddenly, a plain-clothed woman came from the south on horseback and ran close to the restaurant, and the strange man laughed and said, "What a beauty, you are here." After speaking, the figure flashed, and disappeared in the crowd, Shen Yong blinked again, the strange man had appeared beside the plain-clothed woman, the woman was startled, jumped up, slapped the strange man with a backhand, Shen Yong saw it clearly at this time, but it was a middle-aged beauty with tender eyes.

Shen Yong was shocked in his heart, he didn't want this woman to have such skills, he could see that the subtlety of each move and style of these two people was not comparable to ordinary people. After his mind calmed down, he heard the beautiful woman shout, "What a thief, the idea has hit the old lady!" The strange man saw that he was forced to come with a palm, but he didn't dodge or dodge, and laughed: "It turns out that the lady is so angry, but she looks so good-looking, it's a pity." The beautiful woman said, "What's the pity?" The strange man continued: "Isn't it a pity that such a beautiful woman followed a man as stupid as a stupid cow?" When the woman heard his frivolous words, her heart was full of anger, and the strength of her palm increased by three points. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful woman's palm arrived, and when Shen Yong saw this, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the strange man, and in the blink of an eye, the strange man's figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. The beautiful woman's palm fell into the air, and her heart was horrified.

"Lady watch out for you!" The man in Tsing Yi on the side was also trembling in his heart, but his martial arts were sparse, and he couldn't help if he stepped forward. The woman rose into the air and untied her crotch mount, hoping to dodge the sneak attack, but when she looked back, the strange man sat down on her horse and laughed as she watched. The woman was born beautiful since she was a child, how could she have been so played, the man in green clothes on the side saw that the strange man was by no means an ordinary person, and he had already spoken to dissuade her, and where could the woman listen. I heard her howl again, and threw herself at the strange man with her hands wide open. The strange man flew and dismounted, raising his hand to meet the enemy. In an instant, the two of them had already dismantled more than a dozen moves. The more the woman fought, the more frightened she became, and the strange man was also shocked, she never expected to provoke a powerful character this time.

The two of them fought to the rising place, and the strange man changed his palm, jumping up and down, extremely clever. The woman couldn't resist it, and there was already a strange man's palm on her arm, and a pain in her heart penetrated deep into her bone marrow. The big man in green clothes saw that his lady was defeated, so he hurriedly ran over, grabbed the woman, and said, "Forget it, lady, don't fight, you are not his opponent." The woman said angrily: "Don't say more, this thief who killed the heavens, stole things and stole to the old lady's head, how can I spare him!"

Shen Yong listened to her words, and between the words of the strange man, he was very rude, when he first saw him, he was besieged by a group of big men but his face did not change, and he felt a little respectful in his heart. When they came back to their senses, the two of them were entangled again, and after the previous move, the woman had gradually shown defeat, and this time it was not possible to get any cheapness. The strange man was overjoyed, and he was about to take down the woman, when he suddenly saw a gray figure, rushing towards him, his heart tightened, and he drifted back a few feet, avoiding the thunderous blow of the gray shadow. It's just that the figure is walking fast, and Shen Yong, who is watching the fight, can't see the face of the person clearly.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" asked the gray shadow, who suddenly floated to the woman's side again. His body was stagnant, and Shen Yong saw the appearance of the person who came, but it was a young general in armor, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "How can the people in the army get entangled with such strange people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Suddenly, I heard the strange man shout, "Hey, where is the big man, meddle with things!" As he spoke, his eyes flickered as he looked at the general.

When the general heard that his words were not good, his face changed, and there was a look of disdain in his words, and he snorted coldly: "Si Tianjian, the general guarding in Xialanzhou, dare to ask your name?"

The man smiled and said: "There is a certain family called Huazi, a cheap name, and if you say it, you are afraid that it will dirty General Si's ears, so don't say it." ”

Si Tianjian heard his words flicker, frowned, and said, "Since you refuse to tell your name, you can only offend." With a loud shout, he picked up a large stone with his right hand and threw it at the stranger. Seeing that he was coming violently, the strange man giggled, leaned sideways to hold the boulder, and turned into powder with a "click" in an instant.

Si Tianjian secretly cheered in his heart, and the person had already grabbed the strange man close and slammed it at the strange man with one palm. The strange man snorted coldly, and took his palm hard, his palms intersected, the sound was like a huge thunder, Si Tianjian shook a few times in succession, only to feel that the strange man's palm power was extremely hot, and he was secretly surprised: "Why is this person's internal strength so domineering." "He almost couldn't hold on.

The strange man had the upper hand, and his heart was overjoyed, and he used the word "sticky" at the moment, not letting Si Tianjian let go of his palm, and the internal force in his hand stepped up, shouting: "If you still want your life, surrender obediently!" Si Tianjian couldn't pull his palm, and was forced to retreat again and again. In a moment, the strange man suddenly found that the other party's internal force seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, but he couldn't break him, and he was a little surprised, but he only said that Si Tianjian's strength was poor and he was struggling to the death, so he tightened his palm power at the moment, and shouted again: "Do you really want to find death?" Before the words were finished, he suddenly felt that his internal force was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it disappeared without a trace, and suddenly it was resolved by the other party. said that it was too late, it was fast, Si Tianjian had already fought back with luck, and the strange person was shocked, and he hurriedly let go of his hand. Si Tianjian smiled: "Just your tricks, you can't hurt me." He shook off the strange man, flew out of his palm, and several movements were done in one go, and the attack was extremely fierce. The two attacked more than a dozen moves, and the strange man was in danger.

Seeing that the strange man was about to be defeated, he raised his backhand, only to hear the sound of the wave, and threw a projectile out of his sleeve, which suddenly burst in the air, and suddenly the red smoke was everywhere, and in the cluster of red smoke, there were countless poisonous needles as thin as cow's hair. As soon as he fired a secret weapon, he thought that Si Tianjian would inevitably die, but he was prepared, he had already held his breath before the projectile burst, and the poisonous needle was swept away by him with internal strength.

The strange man was taken aback, he didn't want Si Tianjian's internal skills to be so high. Si Tianjian rushed out of the smoke and shouted, "This little gadget can't hurt me!" The strange man turned his mind and said secretly: "This person's skill is far above mine, it is better to find a way to escape." He had long noticed that there was a man and a woman sitting in the hotel, the man's face was full of lingering bookish energy, the woman's body was weak, the two of them were definitely not people who practiced martial arts, and pressed the idea in their hearts, exerted their strength with both feet, avoided Si Tianjian's fatal blow, and went straight to the pair of men and women.

The strange man just wanted to take the girl hostage, he ran to Xue Qi, his right hand bent his fingers into a claw, and pressed it on Xue Qi's shoulder, but he just touched Xue Qi, but he heard Shen Yong next to him shout: "What are you going to do!" The strange man never expected that this man would be able to do martial arts, and he was slapped on the left rib, and a cold snap came suddenly, and the darkness was like a mountain, which shook the strange man's heart. The strange man received a palm from Shen Yong, only to feel that the cold was pressing, fortunately Shen Yong was previously eaten by Xuan Gong, and his power had not fully recovered at this time, and the internal force in this palm was not pure, otherwise how could the defenseless strange man resist? Although he was injured by Shen Yong, his mind kept running, Shen Yong saw him standing still, thinking that he was seriously injured by his own palm force, and was about to step forward to check, when he suddenly saw the strange man's face change, showing an unkind expression, Shen Yong's heart tightened, and he was about to slow down, but he saw the strange man standing up, and a poisonous needle in his hand had flown towards Xue Qi, Shen Yong exclaimed: "Don't!" But he couldn't turn around, the poisonous needle was about to hit Xue Qi's left arm, and suddenly saw Si Tianjian flying over, he heard the changes in the house outside the door, and saw that the innocent woman was about to be injured by the poisonous needle, so he didn't have time to think about it, he hugged her into his arms, moved three inches horizontally, and dodged the strange man's blow squarely, but saw that the poisonous needle was impartially pierced on a wooden pillar, and as soon as he landed, it had already entered the wood, and was deeply nailed into the wood, Si Tianjian secretly praised: "This person has a lot of strength." ”

The strange man missed a move and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. When Shen Yong saw him sneak attack Xue Qi, he was furious, turned his right palm into a fist, and slammed into the door of the strange man's face. When the man saw the fierce attack, he immediately made an iron horse step, raised his hands, and stopped in front of him. I heard a hey, and a punch hit the weirdo's left palm. I saw that the man was shocked, and his left palm had felt a strong push, and his body flew out immediately, and hit the brick wall of the restaurant with a bang, and the man wanted to stand up on the ground, but he felt frivolous, and suddenly the Venus in front of him was rising, and with a whoop, he vomited a lot of blood.

Shen Yong was furious, this punch used all his strength, but the internal injuries he suffered were not healed, a punch was punched, his whole body was out of strength, and he held on to a wine table beside him, feeling very difficult, Xue Qi was startled, and hurriedly came to Shen Yong's side, only to see that his hands and feet were sore, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell like soybeans.

Xue Qi hurriedly said, "Brother Shen, how are you?"

Shen Yong stroked his chest and gasped, "I... It's okay. As soon as the words blurted out, the whole person was shaky, unsteady on his feet, only to feel that his eyes were blurry, and he fell to the ground.

Xue Qi was anxious and panicked, grabbed Shen Yong's hand, and shouted loudly: "Brother Shen, you promised me that you would send me back to the villa, you must not have anything to do!" Xue Qi has been getting along with Shen Yong day and night for half a month, and his heart has been throbbing, and he only hopes that the journey home can be longer, but now seeing that he is so weak, he can't help but feel a pain in his heart, and his mind is blank.

Shen Yong shook his head and gasped: "Don't worry, I... I'll definitely send you back. As soon as he said that, his body suddenly spasmed, and he did not move, as if he were dead. Xue Qi saw that his eyes were closed, his cheeks were stiff, and he was lying there motionless, his heart was sad, and he was already in tears. Si Tianjian was taken aback, and hurriedly went to check his pulse, only to feel extremely weak, but fortunately, he still had breath, while comforting Xue Qi, he summoned a big man from outside the house, carried Shen Yong on his back, and walked away.

Xue Qi was stunned: "What are you?"

Si Tianjian said: "This brother seems to be a symptom of going mad, and it is urgent to be treated as soon as possible. ”

Xue Qi had just walked out of the store with Si Tianjian and his entourage, when he suddenly heard the man in green clothes shouting: "General, let that Huazi run away!"

Si Tianjian let out a "huh", his eyes slightly closed, thoughtful.

The man said: "He is seriously injured, he must not be able to run far, I will take my brothers to chase after him now, I think I can catch up." ”

Si Tianjian shook his head and said: "Forget it, this person is weird and tricky, and he is good at using secret weapons, if you go to chase him, you will inevitably fall into his full set." ”

The man hurriedly said: "But that thing is still on him!"

Si Tianjian patted him on the shoulder and said, "If that thing is really important, I will ask General Ming to come out, but this is the top priority, it is better to cure this little brother first." He waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, you and your sister-in-law will take your people back first." ”

The man was about to say something, but when he saw that Si Tianjian was far away, he couldn't help but hammer his hands and sigh.

When everyone returned to the Lanzhou General's Mansion, Si Tianjian picked up Shen Yong's clothes, only to see that his chest was cold to the bone, and when he touched it, Si Tianjian was also shivering coldly, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. was about to go to ask for a doctor, but seeing that Shen Yong had woken up slowly, Si Tianjian was stunned: "You... Why did you wake up?" It turns out that Shen Yong's internal injury is different from ordinary internal injuries, he is caused by the backlash of the Xuanbing Mental Method, a cold qi gathers in the dantian and cannot dissipate, and over time it gathers more and more, when the dantian can't bear it, it erupts and attacks the heart and lungs, fortunately, Shen Yong's Xuanbing Mental Method has not yet been completed, just rest for a while, and when the cold dissipates, it will get better, otherwise it will be eaten back and die.

Shen Yong smiled, held Si Tianjian's hand, and said warmly: "I'm fine, thank you for saving me this time." ”

Si Tianjian was puzzled, but seeing that Shen Yong's cheeks were no longer as stiff as before, he said strangely: "Who are you, how could you suddenly come back from the dead?"

Shen Yong said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Shen, and his single name is a mediocre character, just because he practiced a set of mental methods, but he didn't practice at home, so he will be countered by mental methods, and it's good to rest for a while." He deliberately treated Xuan Bing's mental method lightly, and he had to take a lot of trouble to explain, but fortunately, Si Tianjian was not a good person, and when he saw that Shen Yong was getting better, he didn't ask much, and said lightly: "Little brother, where are you going this time?"

Shen Yong said: "I want to send that girl home." ”

Si Tianjian smiled: "Girl, I see that girl just cried for you, and I thought you were husband and wife, I don't want to..."

Shen Yong saw Xue Qi on the side, his face was shy, and he hurriedly said: "General Si, thanks to the rescue this time, Xiaosheng has thanked me for this, but Miss Xue's family has changed, and we have to hurry, so don't leave it at that." ”

Si Tianjian didn't want Shen Yong to be so outspoken, and it was not easy to keep it at the moment, so he just ordered his subordinates to prepare two good horses and send them all the way to the gate of the mansion before saying goodbye to Shen Yong and Xue Qi.

From Lanzhou to Jingzhao Mansion, more than 1,400 miles back and forth, the two of them walked smoothly, and they had something to eat casually in Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Yong saw that it was still early, so he had to continue to hurry. Out of the city gate, tossing seven or eight miles, the two entered a forest, at that time was in winter, the trees in the forest were all falling and withering, Shen Yong suddenly quipped: "This cold day, if you can eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns to warm your body, it is really a great enjoyment in the world!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the bowl of mutton steamed buns he ate the day before yesterday, and he still has an endless aftertaste. Xue Qi smiled: "Then why don't you order one at noon?" Shen Yong waved his hand and said: "Don't be greedy for good things, otherwise, even if it is a soup stewed with dragon claws and phoenix tails, it will be tasteless." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly saw a wisp of white smoke raised in the distance, and Shen Yongqi said: "On this cold day, there are still people roasting a fire in the forest? Xue Qi smiled and said, "If you can roast a fire there by the way, it can also make up for the regret that you can't eat mutton steamed buns." ”

The two of them rode forward, and saw a ruined temple in front of them, which seemed to be in disrepair, and there were six or seven people around in front of the temple, where they seemed to be plotting something. Shen Yong immediately turned over and dismounted, and whispered to Xue Qi: "I'll go and see first, you stay here for a long time." After saying that, he lowered his body and swept forward a hundred or ten feet, hiding behind a dead tree.

Shen Yong looked over and saw an old woman with a golden cane in her hand standing at the front, looking at her face full of sadness, as if she had something as sad as a day, blocking her chest and not vomiting unpleasantly. But seeing the two men and two women opposite the old woman was even more strange, one with buckteeth and the other with a cripple, but although the two women were pretty, their faces were full of murder. But seeing that the old woman didn't know what to shout to the temple, she suddenly saw a person walking out of the house, but it was a short and fat old man with white hair like silver, dressed in plain robes, dressed as a monk and a non-Taoist, but the eyes were really not big, making people look like turtles.

Shen Yongxin said: "These people are all weird, but I don't know where they come from?" was about to get closer, wanting to hear what they were talking about, when he suddenly heard someone behind him sneer: "What a fearless boy, he actually ran here to die!"
