I didn't want to let Tie Ning see the injury again because of this so-called Iron Sword Order, so he reached out and took it, and with a sudden force with both hands, Wu Zheng wanted to break the Black Iron Order.

"Don't!"

Although he understood Wu Zheng's good intentions, Tie Ning hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

It's just that by the time she shouted, Wu Zheng had already broken it twice in a row.

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that the small iron sword order in his hand was so strong, even if he used a wisp of true qi in his body, he still couldn't damage it in the slightest.

Seeing Wu Zheng staring at the intact black iron in his hand, he was stunned, and Tie Ning said faintly:

"Wu Zheng, keep it, it may be of great use in the future. ”

"Useful?"

"Hmm. My sister once told me that the martial arts in the world are divided into five major forces according to regions, and the Black Iron Order is the identity token issued by the Martial Arts Alliance to the five regions. Among them, the northern martial arts sect is black and white, the west is white and black, the south is black and red, the east is white and green, and the middle is black and gold. ”

After a pause, Tie Ning continued to explain:

"Whenever there is a major event in the martial arts, all sects and factions must have corresponding tokens as proof if they want to participate. Moreover, when walking in the rivers and lakes, the Iron Sword Order is also the key to distinguishing identity. ”

"Isn't that a lot?"

"On the contrary, only the sects that have been approved by the Martial Arts Alliance can get an Iron Sword Order. Although there are many martial arts sects in the world, only 12 out of 10 have really obtained the Iron Sword Order. Therefore, there are only thirty-six iron sword orders in the rivers and lakes. ”

After listening to Tie Ning's explanation, Wu Zheng couldn't help but start to suspect the identities of the four people he killed yesterday.

"Does the Iron Sword Order have any other markings besides the color difference?"

While asking Tie Ning, Wu Zheng turned over and looked at the black token in his hand carefully.

"This sister didn't say it, and I don't know. ”

Because he had been talking around Tie Jian Ling, Tie Ning would not be able to forget his sister who died tragically for a while, Wu Zheng hurriedly put everything away, and was just about to tie the burden back on his shoulders, but Tie Ning said:

"Don't put it all in your baggage, I'll make you a bag later, and it'll be more convenient to hang around your waist. ”

The two of them only lingered in Fengxian Town for two days, because they were worried about being found by Wu Gan and Liu Shiqing, early in the morning of the third day, Wu Zheng hired an ox cart with the silver taels in his hand, and carried Tie Ning, who was still weak, along the official road all the way south.

Ten days later, Tie Ning's body had almost recovered, so he sent away the hired ox cart, and the two began to walk forward, browsing the scenery in the early summer fields around them, whether it was Wu Zheng or Tie Ning, their mood gradually relaxed.

"Sister, do you want to go for a walk in the mountains?"

Wu Zheng is not used to taking the official road, but on both sides of the official road, the vibrant mountains and fields attract him more.

"Well, it's lukewarm at this time, and it's just the right time to go for a walk in the wilderness. ”

Originally, they were all teenagers and boys, and once there were no obstacles in their hearts, they naturally talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Compared with the two of them, Wu Zheng is more childish, on the other hand, Tie Ning is more like a big sister, always with a gentle smile on her face, and she speaks softly to try to cater to Wu Zheng's interests and mood.

Due to the existence of iron condensation, it is inconvenient to stay in the wilderness at night, so Wu Zheng only goes into the mountains and wilderness during the day, walks along the official road, and returns to the villages and towns next to the official road at night, or sleeps overnight, or stays in guest houses.

Five days have passed since the carefree days, and after estimating the distance, he has now left Shuntian City for nearly six hundred miles, and Wu Zheng can't help but feel more relieved.

In the evening, the two stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun and entered the first castle they encountered after leaving Suncheon Castle, Hakuno Castle.

Although Boye City is on the only way from Linshan Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, when Wu Zheng traveled from Causeway City to Shuntian City, because he had been walking through the wilderness, not only did he not enter the city, but he also did not even see Boye City.

As soon as he entered the city, he was attracted by the figure of a beggar crowded on the street. Wu Zheng couldn't help but think, couldn't it be that all the beggars in Shuntian City were gathered here?

After the two found an inn to live in, they inquired a little, and Wu Zheng guessed correctly. Although it is not certain that the beggars in Hakuno Castle are all from Suncheon Castle, I have heard from the locals that in the past half a month, there have indeed been many more beggars in the city, almost more than three times the usual number.

As for the reason why the surrounding beggars heard the wind, Wu Zheng was suddenly taken aback when he heard it.

It turned out that there were six burglaries in Hakuno City in 20 days, and the thefts that occurred here were exactly the same as those in Suncheon Castle, all of which were burglaries in the city's wealthy homes. Moreover, the thieves also gave all the stolen goods to beggars and poor families.

"It can't be that Wu Gan and Zhen Yu'er rushed to Boye City in advance, right?"

Wu Zheng subconsciously muttered.

"Wu Zheng, what did you say?"

Tie Ning, who had already fallen into the hands of Liu Shiqing a few years ago, naturally didn't know about the burglary that happened in Shuntian City, so Wu Zheng explained it to Tie Ning in detail.

"Are you saying that Wu Gan, who fought with Liu Lao Thief, has a master-apprentice relationship with Zhen Yuer, the girl who is with Qinglian?"

"Well, I'm just guessing. ”

"Why isn't it a brother and sister relationship?"

"Huh?"

Wu Zheng really didn't think about this aspect because of the age gap between the two.

"If Wu Gan and Zhen Yu'er arrived here in advance, this possibility is not impossible, after all, Wu Gan knows your background very well. However, with Wu Gan's actions, can he do such a chivalrous thing?"

Yes, Tie Ning's suspicion is not unreasonable. Judging from Wu Gan's painstaking efforts to deceive Liu Shiqing's "Jade, Female Heart, and Sutra", as well as his deliberate efforts to track him all the way to Shuntian City by unscrupulous means, it is nothing more than to get his own "Lingxiao Nine Styles", and it is very likely that the thefts in Shuntian City and Boye City were not committed by him. Regardless of whether the two are masters and apprentices, or brothers and sisters, as the saying goes, things gather people in groups, and Zhen Yuer is afraid that she also has a similar heart to Wu Gan. What's more, with Zhen Yuer's skills and strength, no one is there to assist, and she should not be able to do so many burglaries alone.

After the original judgment in his heart was overturned, Wu Zheng could hardly suppress his curiosity.

"Sister, I want to go out and have a look tonight. ”

Tie Ning stared at Wu Zheng's eyes carefully for a while, and couldn't help but nod slowly.

From Wu Zheng's description of the situation he encountered on the first night of his trip to Suncheon City, it is not difficult to guess Wu Zheng's intention to go out at night to find out the true face of the perpetrator. Just because he is the sister of his father's last letter, who came to take refuge and never met the iron thread mother, he will fight with his life to save himself. Although the contact was not long, Tie Ning was still able to determine that Wu Zheng, who was two years younger than him, was a young man who valued love and righteousness.

After all, the burglar in Shuntian City once relieved Wu Zheng of the siege and threw him ten taels of silver, how could Wu Zheng not want to repay him?

"Then go and have a look, but be sure to be safe, my sister will always be waiting for you. ”
