Chapter 7: The Bandits
As soon as dawn broke, the city gate of Huayin County slowly opened, the street vendors, the people, and the traveling merchants who rushed overnight poured into the city, and the shops on the main road of the city gate also removed the door panels, and put out a pair of goods, and the quiet streets instantly became lively!
The sun was rising, a group of four rode into the city, not far ahead, a few people slowly stopped, turned into a quiet small port. The www.biquge.info port is still clean, and the horse's hooves knock on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound!
Four rode to a winery, and Xiao Er took the horse. The shopkeeper was a wealthy man in his thirties, who hurriedly greeted him and welcomed a few people to the backyard. With a respectful face, he saluted Yue Buqun and said, "See the master!"
Yue Buqun waved his hand and said, "Chang Ming doesn't have to be polite, let's eat some food first!"
Chang Ming was also polite, set up the dishes and chopsticks in the backyard, and went to the front hall to greet Xiao Er!
Qing Jin then understood that this winery is the industry of Huashan, Chang Ming was a disciple of the Huashan faction before, and his talent was not obvious, but he was flexible and flexible, and he was loyal to Huashan, so he was sent down the mountain to operate this industry.
After everyone had eaten breakfast, Chang Ming told him about the situation of the bandits......
Yue Buqun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he was silent!
Linghu rushed to his feet and groaned slightly: "In this way, this gang of bandits should be near Shiquan Town now!"
Chang Ming groaned slightly, and then said: "Although these people are mysterious and ruthless, after all, there are traces to follow, if there is no accident, they should be nearby!"
Yue Buqun's expression changed for a long time before he said coldly: "Dare to commit a crime at the foot of my Huashan Mountain, it seems that this gang of bandits has a great background......
Chang Ming said respectfully: "The disciple also feels that the origin of this group of people is quite mysterious, and he can't find out much in a hurry, as if he suddenly came out." According to the traces of the scene and the condition of the deceased, there should be a few people in it who are good at martial arts! But they are all on the road, and they can't see the martial arts of that faction!
Yue Buqun's Qi cultivation kung fu is quite good, and in a moment he regained his calmness and ease, his complexion was light, and he said indifferently: "I thought it was just a group of unsightly bandits, let Chong'er and Qingjin also follow the experience and have more experience in the rivers and lakes, it seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”
Ling Hu Chong and Qing Jin glanced at each other, their hearts sank, this time it was not easy to go down the mountain once, if Yue Buqun was worried about the safety of the two of them, and then they were driven back to the mountain, it would be really aggrieved! The two got up at the same time, bowed to Yue Buqun and said loudly: "The disciple is willing to share the worries of the master!"
Yue Buqun saw that the two of them were very strong, and his heart was also happy, thinking that he would be here, and it would be no obstacle to keep the two of them safe! It would be good to be able to contact the people in the rivers and lakes earlier!
......
Shiquan Town is a large town within a radius of dozens of miles, and it is also the necessary place to pass through Huayin County nearby, the geographical location is quite important, the traveling merchants and hawkers from the south to the north make this quite prosperous, and the wine shops, inns, and shops spread along the long street. At this time, it was nearly noon, and the largest restaurant in Qingquan Town, "Wenxiang Pavilion", was busy with traffic. In the private room by the window on the second floor, the environment is simple and elegant, with a wide field of vision, and the little two in Tsing Yi and a small hat lead four people in. Yue Buqun was dressed in a cyan Confucian shirt, awe-inspiring, elegant and generous, although he was in his forties, he looked like he was only in his thirties!
Xiao Erzi is also accustomed to seeing the market, seeing that although a few people are carrying swords, they have kind faces and a chivalrous style, although they are not strange, they dare not slack off, and they are busy wiping the tables and chairs. respectfully bowed to Yue Buqun and gave up his seat: "A few guest officers, please sit down!" and served fragrant tea to everyone!
Yue Buqun was not polite, and sat with his sleeves brushed. Lau De Nuo is a steward-style figure of the Huashan faction, and he has his agent for all chores, and said to Xiao Er with great interest: "I have heard for a long time that you are good at making all kinds of delicacies, and today you can be full of food, and choose a few more of your signature dishes!"
Xiao Er said with a smile on his face: "A few masters are so good, our host has invited the chef of Xi'an Mansion to take charge of the chef in the past few days!
After a short time, a fish head with chopped pepper was served, the fish head was fresh and tender, and the green and red peppers were evenly decorated, and a roast suckling pig with secret fruit and spices hidden in it was also served, with golden skin and fragrant aroma...... After a total of six dishes were served, everyone worked for a long time, and then they were no longer polite!
Wenxiang Pavilion is built in the center of the town, with a wide field of vision, full of wine and food, a few people are tasting fragrant tea, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, Lau Deno suddenly frowned and said: "I look at the merchant a little strange, not like a person walking the streets and alleys." Qingjin also stared down, and found that the merchant was indeed less laborious, not in a hurry to shout and sell goods, but to carry the load of goods to look around, walking under his feet is not ding, flat and stable, like some martial arts!
Suddenly, the merchant seemed to have discovered something, and hurried away outside the town with his burden, and several people found that the merchant was wrong, but it seemed that he deliberately leaked a flaw to attract people's attention. A few people settled the account, and no matter what the merchant's purpose was, they rode on their horses and followed far behind!
At noon, the spring is strong, the mountain road leading to Shiquan Town is deep and silent, the post road is full of green cypresses on both sides, the new thin is like a child's arm, the thick one needs several people to hug, the whole body is straight, verdant and dripping! The merchant is in a hurry, more and more suspicious, a few people are far away, carefully looking around. Looking at the merchant's deeds, if it is not really a violent deed, it is deliberately attracting people here! If it is deliberately attracting people to come, there may be an ambush waiting in front of you. But this gang of bandits is secretive, and finally has some clues, if they ignore it, it is not what a few people want.
At the foot of Huashan, as the head of the Huashan faction, although Yue Buqun has the style of a humble gentleman, he acts carefully and thinks twice about doing things. But he is by no means a cowardly person, not to mention that as the head of a faction, there are a few good players in the world, and he is quite confident in his martial arts, and he is definitely not a person who is scared away by the slightest doubt!
Ahead is a hill corner, densely wooded, surrounded by mountains and rocks, it is an excellent ambush place, the merchant turned around the corner, and disappeared from the field of vision of several people. As soon as Yue Buqun raised his hand, several people stopped, and the mountains and forests were gloomy and silent, only the whirring wind and the chirping of birds. A few people were cautious, holding long swords in their hands, and slowly urged the horses forward. A few crows croaked over everyone's heads, and everyone's hearts sank!
Qing Jin saw that Yue Buqun's expression was calm, not in a hurry, and he also let go of his worries. After all, the people on the rivers and lakes who can fight with Yue Buqun are all famous and surnamed figures, and there are not many who can leave his life. Now no matter how dirty the relationship between the Wuyue Sword Sect is in private, on the bright side, the Wuyue Sword Sect is in the same spirit. No matter who it is, if you want to plot a faction, this matter will definitely cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes. However, there are only a few people on the rivers and lakes who can leave no trace of their lives, and there is nothing worthy of such a lonely achievement in the Huashan faction at this time. Zuo Lengzen maybe, but at this time, he has not made a successful arrangement, and he will not startle the snake in advance! In this way, it seems that even if there is an ambush, that person will not have much martial arts! Thinking of this, although he is still a little uneasy in his heart, he is not nervous, he is just calm and vigilant!
Suddenly, his body went down, and the horse neighed, stepped on the tripping rope, and knelt directly on the ground. Qing Jin took advantage of the situation to draw his long sword and roll on the ground. With a buzz, more than a dozen white feather arrows shot at the cold light. Qing Jin's body turned sharply, and the long sword in his right hand backhanded, knocking open a feather arrow that came from his chest. The other two shot into the dirt next to them in the slightest moment! With a soft shout, Yue Buqun had already flown towards the row of archers! Qing Jin rolled again, avoiding the ensuing rain of arrows! Yue Buqun had already killed between the group of archers. Qing Jin also greeted him, the long sword blocked the slash, and the backhand sword slashed through the thief's neck, and the thief covered his blood-blistering throat with both hands, and it was so soft that it was on the ground!
Linghu Chong also killed the bandits, and Laudeno was hit by an arrow in his left arm, but he gritted his teeth and pulled it out, killing with the bandits. A few more bandits surrounded them, and they were too close for the archers to threaten. Qing Jin calmed down, used the iron wire sword style, and fought with several bandits. These bandits are also stronger than ordinary people, and they can use some ordinary knife techniques and some superficial combined attack techniques! Qing Jin suddenly gained the upper hand in the battle, killing several bandits left and right.
Qing Jin didn't dare to relax in his heart, after all, daring to use calculations to calculate the Huashan faction and others was definitely not done by ordinary bandits. Those who dare to do this must have some schemes, relying on the superficial skills of these bandits, except for being caught off guard at the beginning, there is not much threat to a few people. Qing Jin wondered in his heart, could it be to lure everyone away and plot against Huashan. It's impossible to think about it, not to mention that Ning Zhong and dozens of disciples are sitting in Huashan, daring to besiege a faction of mountain gates, it will definitely cause a great earthquake in the rivers and lakes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, there is no great interest, no one dares to do this! Thinking that another bandit surrounded him, Qing Jin saw that the bandit was ordinary and inconspicuous, these bandits were completely only left to parry, and they were killed only in an instant, and a few more could not save the general trend! But in his heart, he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he no longer blindly attacked, and was more vigilant!
The thief first pretended to be cowardly, and circled around the side, and when he saw Qing Jin's negligence, he suddenly burst into trouble, and slashed at his chest with a knife as fast as lightning. Qing Jin had already taken precautions, and he didn't panic when he saw this, and the long sword in his hand suddenly buzzed, and the long knife was cut through an arc, and the iron line sword unfolded, and a sword was as fast as a sword attacking the bandits. Although this bandit has quite good martial arts, he fell behind in an instant. Seeing that the two of them were fighting in a thrilling way, they didn't dare to be on it, knowing that they had encountered hard stubble today, several people glanced at each other, slowly retreated, and prepared to escape. Qing Jin became more and more courageous, the bandit fought and retreated, the two gradually separated from everyone, and there were several seriously injured bandits on the ground**. Qing Jin suddenly saw a strange color flash in the thief's eyes, and suddenly felt bad, and a thief who seemed to be seriously injured to the end suddenly burst out and slapped Qing Jin in the lower abdomen! Qing Jin had severe pain in his lower abdomen, knowing that it was not good, he reluctantly raised a trace of true qi, and with this force, he retreated again and again, and opened the distance! After all, he was not a few steps away, and his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood! Falling to the ground, the true qi in the dantian was scattered everywhere by this palm, and it was strung along the meridians, and all the internal organs and six organs had been displaced!
Yue Buqun let out a long roar, three or two ups and downs came to the front, the two assassins hidden in the bandits hurriedly retreated, and suddenly there was a burst of shouts behind him, but it was another assassin hidden in the bandits who attacked Ling Hu Chong, who had already been alert when he saw Qing Jin's situation. The assassin missed, and immediately retreated! Ling Hu Chong was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Yue Buqun, Qing Jin had already suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and Yue Buqun was inconvenient to chase after him, for fear that he would fall for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and another assassin would take the opportunity to attack Qing Jin. If Ling Hu Chong was in danger again when he was chasing, he would be in dire straits! Seeing that the general trend had gone, the thieves also fled in a hurry at this time, and Ling Hu Chong and Lau De Nuo knocked a few people unconscious and carried them over!
Yue Buqun clicked on Qing Jin's acupoint, and used his strength to temporarily suppress the injury! Qing Jin fainted as soon as he was relieved!
