The thin carriage galloped forward, but not in the direction of the capital Boyan, because the road to Boyan was not straight.

Danyang City is located on the southwest border of Chaoyang Kingdom, and its subordinate Yong'an Town is in the southwest of it. However, the capital city of Boyan is far to the northeast of the center of the empire, and the two are nearly a thousand miles apart, so you can imagine the hardships in between.

"Alas!"

Inside the carriage, Xu Chen sighed inexplicably, he didn't know if his choice was correct, such a major choice, thinking about it, was more like his casual behavior, even if it wasn't casual, I am afraid it seemed to be inconsiderate.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the danger, just because the most likely murderer is getting farther and farther away from him, and outsiders think it's ridiculous to think about it. However, Xu Chen himself has his own considerations, because there is a barrier that has always been in front of him.

Now he rushed directly to the Bai family to have a happy revenge, and swayed the anger and hatred in his heart to the fullest, regardless of whether he was the real murderer of Lao Wu's living mother, just because he had imprisoned himself for ten years was enough for Xu Chen to have enough excuses to do so.

But these can only be lonely lust when no one is around, as long as that barrier is still there, the only one who will be hurt in the end can only be yourself, because that barrier is called strength.

Along the way, Xu Chen didn't talk to the coachman much, only when they ate together, in order not to be embarrassed, he would simply say a few words of homely things.

Of course, the so-called household routine is only the coachman's own, Xu Chen's household routine cannot be talked about with outsiders, and he does not have an "insider", so he can only hide it in his heart.

During the conversation, Xu Chen simply knew a little about the coachman's situation, his surname was Wang, although he was not very old, only in his early forties, but he was running around all the year round, and the wind and sun made him seem much older than his real age, so people who knew him would always call Lao Wang jokingly.

Lao Wang has always been a coachman, and most of them run long distances, and occasionally help people carry some letters or simple goods, and his life is passable.

In Lao Wang's own words: "I don't have any skills, I can only pick up some things that others don't want to do or dare not do to make a living, and it's good to be alive." ”

Whenever Xu Chen hears these words, he always thinks of himself, although he has a large sum of silver, but when he thinks about it, he is no different from Lao Wang - without craftsmanship, it is good to be alive.

It was dusk.

The sky is gradually getting darker, and it is time to find a place to settle down, but few people dare to continue to rush at night, the so-called "moon dark wind high murderous night, cloudy day when it rains and kills." "It's no joke.

Lao Wang, who has been running the rivers and lakes all the year round, naturally understands this truth, perhaps because he is afraid of the blind in the carriage, or because he is used to showing off his profession, he waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "Uncle! Don't worry, in less than half an hour, we will be able to rush to an inn in front." ”

Xu Chen sat quietly in the carriage, far less timid than Lao Wang imagined, and said softly: "Well, I'm not worried. ”

However, as soon as he said this, his face sank, and a trace of alarm instantly appeared on his face.

Because at that moment, he felt an unusual movement in the forests on both sides, which was the instinct of a cultivator.

He could feel something moving rapidly through the woods, as if he had been chasing the carriage he had made, and he was sure that it was not some beast, but some people, and he didn't know how many there were. Although those people were running at a high speed, their pace was surprisingly consistent, and they seemed to be well-trained, which made Xu Chen's eyes unconsciously solemn.

"Could it be that you are here to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?" Xu Chen's heart guessed wildly.

However, after a moment he dispelled this thought, and he could feel that the men had quickly overtaken the carriage and were moving towards the front, and the worries in his heart had finally been relieved. It's just that worry turned into a ray of surprise.

Even though he and Lao Wang had been on the road for a day, the horses pulling the cart were much slower because of fatigue, but those mysterious "passers-by" were able to overtake the carriage so easily, you can imagine their strength, not to mention that they were running in the dense forest.

Because of deep thinking, for Xu Chen, time passed much faster, I don't know how long it took, only to hear Lao Wang outside the carriage shouting loudly again, "Uncle, let's go to the inn soon, you can prepare first!"

Prepare.

Xu Chen smiled bitterly, naturally he knew what Lao Wang meant, he was alone, he didn't have any luggage at all, and even the short sword that Tang Yan gave him was thrown into the wilderness because of an eyesore. What Lao Wang said about preparing is just to prepare the silver for the guest house.

At the same time that Xu Chen twisted out a silver ticket from his arms, the speed of the carriage slowly stopped, Xu Chen slightly lifted the curtain and glanced outside, and a surprisingly small inn came into view.

The inn was just a simple two-story building, lonely in the wilderness, so small, and the guise of swaying with the breeze was also tattered, and the handwriting on it was impossible to see at all.

Xu Chen and Lao Wang naturally lived in many such inns on the whole road, but for some reason, Xu Chen had a different feeling when he saw this inn at this time, that feeling was called worry, and to put it more bluntly, he was afraid.

"Master Wang!"

Xu Chen politely called Lao Wang.

Lao Wang had already gotten out of the carriage at this time, and when he heard Xu Chen, he turned his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"W-Aren't there any other inns around here?"

Xu Chen frowned and said.

Seeing Xu Chen's slightly vigilant expression, Lao Wang laughed, "Uncle! ”

Saying that, Lao Wang showed a sarcastic expression, it was indeed the expression of the old Jianghu to the son of the world, "Don't worry! This is half the way, when have you encountered danger, I am an old Jianghu, you can rest assured." I've been here many times, you don't see a big place, but there are a lot of business trips, so it's safe!"

Xu Chen was still a little hesitant, but he couldn't tell Lao Wang that this was just a premonition of his own, which originated from a cultivator's hunch, and said softly: "Master Wang, I always feel ......."

"Oh, uncle, what do you feel?"

Lao Wang was obviously a little impatient with Xu Chen's mother-in-law, even if he was talking about money, but he couldn't toss himself for no reason, and said with a little disdain: "Uncle! You don't want to think about it, you don't have two brushes, do you want to open an inn in such a desolate place? ”

Looking at Lao Wang's firm face, coupled with the fact that there was indeed no other place to live nearby, Xu Chen nodded helplessly, turned over and got out of the carriage. But the worry in his heart lingered.

Lao Wang called Xiao Er at the door, asked him to take the carriage away and feed some high-quality forage, and followed Xu Chen into the inn.

The layout of this inn is no different from that of an ordinary inn, and the first floor is the hall, that is, the place to eat, and the second floor is the accommodation room.

Xu Chen casually glanced at the hall with his eyes, at dusk, it was the time for dinner, the hall was already full, all kinds of clothes mixed with all kinds of accents, and there was a hustle and bustle.

When he came to the counter, Xu Chen put the silver ticket in his hand on the counter, booked a guest room, and the two went up to the second floor to tidy up their rooms.

Along the way, as long as he stayed in the hotel, Xu Chen only opened one room, although he had a thick pile of silver tickets, enough to buy a hundred or even a thousand inns like this, but he knew that money was not spent like this.

After carefully tidying up the room, Xu Chen originally wanted to wait until the other guests in the hall had dispersed to eat below, but under Lao Wang's repeated and repeated requests, he had to go down to the second floor.

When he saw that the hall was still overcrowded, Xu Chen spread his hands and said to Lao Wang: "Look, I said I'll come back later." ”

Lao Wang didn't care, pointed to a square table where only two people sat in the corner, and said, "Look! Isn't there a place there! When you go out, you can do what you can, but don't play some sonish tempers." ”

Xu Chen smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "Childe's temper? Hehe, even the son is a down-and-out son, just in response to that joke, he is so poor that he has money left." ”

With a wry smile and a quick solution in his heart, Xu Chen followed Lao Wang to the square table.

The two people at the table were eating quietly, and sitting on the side was a sturdy man, although he was sitting, he could still see that he was tall and dark, but it was not the kind of tanned tan, but more like the perennial sleeping in the wind and sand, which was somewhat similar to Lao Wang's face.

But the difference was that there was a scar on this strong man's face, and as a cultivator, Xu Chen could see at a glance that it was obviously a scar, and the vigilance in his heart couldn't help but surge.

On the throne of the Lord sat a woman, dressed plainly, and she kept her head down, so that she could not see her face clearly.

At this time, I saw Lao Wang step forward and hug a fist with a little Jianghu anger, and said heartily: "May I ask the two of you! Can you mind ......?"

"Mind me!"

Before Lao Wang could finish speaking, the scarface raised his head and replied. The language is simple, but it shows his indifference and majesty.

"Huh?"

Lao Wang didn't know what to say next, this sentence was learned by him all the year round, and he had not been rejected once.

Because most of the time, in his so-called rivers and lakes, as long as you can be cheeky and say not too much to ask, most of the other party will not be cheeky to refuse.

Of course, Lao Wang was extremely angry in his heart, because the other party broke his understanding of the word Jianghu, this is not the Jianghu he understands, the Jianghu he understands is not easy for people in the Jianghu, and he can bear with it.

Lao Wang just wanted to go up to the angry theory, but he saw the jaw of Scarface's face bulge suddenly, and his eyes changed from calm to hostile.

In fact, everyone will show hostile eyes, which is not anyone's patent, nor is it anyone's privilege. However, the hostility shown in front of him made Lao Wang's body tremble suddenly, if Xu Chen hadn't supported him behind him, I am afraid that he would have sat on the ground with weak legs just now.

Because the hostility in Scarface's eyes was majestic, angry, and even murderous.
