Ruan Jingtian quickly withdrew his meditation sword and ran towards the person who was injured in the shoulder. I saw that the man was struggling to flee towards the mountains and forests, Ruan Jingtian quickly approached him, sacrificed his sword, and a big head rushed into the sky.
The off-road vehicle behind had long since stopped, and five people walked out. The two entered the truck to check, but Furball and his dog companion were nowhere to be found. The two opened a cargo box in the back of the truck, and all they saw were beds, chairs, and other furniture, which were obviously not what they wanted. The two men shook their heads and got out of the car to report to a middle-aged man standing next to the SUV.
The middle-aged man glanced at the truck, and then at the rocks and bushes at the scene of the fierce battle. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the four of them to follow him towards the place where the fight was fighting.
After Ruan Jingtian killed the Zheguo warrior who had injured his shoulder, he saw that the five people were surrounding him. He observed for a moment, making sure that none of the five were carrying thermal weapons, and his heart calmed down. Even if he won the lottery, he didn't have much fear of the five people who came up to him.
He swallowed a holy pill to treat internal injuries, silently used the Xuangang Technique, and his eyes showed a cold killing intent, these so-called famous factions were really worthless in his eyes.
"Uncle Shi, this is the person who escaped from me and the fourth junior brother in the restaurant, and he has a hairball in his hand. The senior brother said to the middle-aged man.
"Didn't you say that Gong Xiaomu snatched the hairball? But this person is not Gong Xiaomu, what's going on?" said the senior uncle with a frown.
"I don't know, the second, third, and fifth junior brothers went to look for Gong Xiaomu with a hairball, and the last news they came out said that they had found traces of Gong Xiaomu in the Daishan Mountain Range. However, the three of them entered the Daishan Mountain Range and never came out, so I suspect that Gong Xiaomu may have killed the three junior disciples and snatched the hairball.
We followed the hairball from Springs City until we got here, and we saw the hairball in the hands of this man, and this person also called the hairball. I suspect that the three junior disciples have been killed by this person and Gong Xiaomu with a conspiracy. Because according to Gong Xiaomu's martial arts level, it is impossible to resist the joint efforts of the three junior disciples. I think this person is an accomplice of Miya, and he will definitely know Miya's whereabouts. "Senior brother self-righteous analysis and reasoning.
"Well, let's restrain this kid, he'll tell us everything. The uncle said in an old-fashioned manner.
Ruan Jingtian listened for a while, and was very puzzled in his heart, it seemed that the Lao Lin faction came to look for Gong Xiaomu with great fanfare, why? Could it be that a soft knife is worth the dispatch of an elder-level master? The elders of the Lao Lin faction really came to grab a junior's things at such a low price?
"What are you looking for Gong Xiaomu?" Ruan Jingtian finally couldn't help it and asked out loud.
"Do you know Gong Xiaomu, do you know where he is? You sue me, I can spare you from death. The uncle asked in surprise, it seemed that Gong Xiaomu was closer than his own father. He also ignored the fact that the three teachers and nephews might be killed by the person in front of him.
"As long as you tell me the reason why you are looking for Miyataka, I will tell you where he is. "Ruan Jingtian insisted on his position, but he did not give in.
"I heard that Gong Xiaomu has the true route map of the Dragon City under the Dragon Yin River in Dongshan City, have you heard him say this?" The uncle was eager to know the road map, and couldn't wait to say the reason for looking for Gong Xiaomu. In his eyes, the young Zheguo Major in front of him was an ant.
"Who sued you about this? Is it a Zheguo merchant?" Ruan Jingtian already somewhat understood the origin of the matter, it must be the merchant Yu Sin who used the Dragon City route map to tempt the Lao Lin faction, thus causing the elder-level masters to dispatch, and the three people who had been tracking him in the Daishan Mountain Range before might really come for the soft sword.
"You know everything. Great, if you can tell me where Gong Xiaomu is, and help me get the true road map, I will accept you as a personal disciple. Uncle Shi was overjoyed. Immediately tempted Ruan Jingtian with what he thought was heavy profit.
Ruan Jingtian suddenly felt disgusted, is this the face of the famous martial arts of the Assassin Kingdom? Not only was he stupidly used by the devils of Zheguo, but he also shamelessly conspired with the devils of Zheguo in an attempt to seize the secret treasure of the Assassin Kingdom. In the end, he actually wanted to accept the devil of Zheguo as his personal disciple, which made Ruan Jingtian feel too cold.
Originally, he didn't want to embarrass the warriors of the assassination country, so he avoided the senior brother and the fifth junior brother in the restaurant and only knocked off the wheels of the off-road vehicle on the road. It was the mercy of his subordinates, intending to warn them not to continue chasing. But these people are so greedy that if they don't die, they won't die.
Ruan Jingtian asked coldly, "If Gong Xiaomu doesn't give you the true road map, what will you do?"
"Haha, joke, can he not give it? What our old Lin faction wants, is there anything we can't get our hands on? If he doesn't know how to lift, even though he is the captain of the gendarmerie, we will still take his head. The elder brother laughed wildly.
The uncle said with a smile: "Gong Xiaomu will give it, if he resists, I'm afraid he will die without a place to bury!"
Ruan Jingtian's killing intent gradually filled his entire body, and suddenly, he raised the meditation sword in his hand and used the Fengmang Sword Technique that fused the two swordsmanship (see Chapter 59), only to see countless sword rays covering the old Lin sect's senior uncle like lightning.
That uncle was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and he didn't show much surprise, waved his long sword, and shook out the sword flowers in the sky to meet Ruan Jingtian's sword.
After dozens of clanging sounds, the long sword of the old Lin sect uncle was full of gaps, while Ruan Jingtian's meditation sword was intact. The uncle was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly took a few steps back, with a look of surprise and greed in his eyes, and said, "What kind of sword are you? Why is it so sharp?"
Ruan Jingtian saw that the power of the Fengmang Sword Technique was not weaker than Lao Lin's Sword Technique, and his heart was settled, and he said coldly: "It's your business!" Before he finished speaking, his right heel clicked again and again, and five black belly needles shot at the five people in front of him. The old Lin faction's senior uncle and senior brother immediately used their long swords to pull away the black belly needle, while the fourth senior brother was able to dodge the vital point, but was shot in the shoulder, and finally the two of them were both hit by the needle, and fell to the ground on their backs, seeing that they were dead.
Lao Lin sent Uncle Shi scolded: "You are despicable and shameless, you actually hurt people with secret arrows, it is not a hero's doing." Speaking of this, the senior uncle raised his left hand continuously, and four fire and thunder beads rushed towards Ruan Jingtian.
Ruan Jingtian had already taken precautions, ran the Xuangang Technique, and jumped high in the air, and the four fire and thunder beads flew under Ruan Jingtian's feet and landed on the stone wall in the distance, and four explosions resounded in the night.
Ruan Jingtian suddenly felt ridiculous and sad for these assassin warriors who lived in imagination, it was natural for the five of them to beat one of the others, and it was not a hero for others to send a secret weapon to sneak attack. It's really a ridiculous conjecture to be strict with others and lenient with yourself.
Ruan Jingtian didn't want to talk nonsense at all, pulled out the soft knife, and the meditation sword flew into the air. He rubbed his body and bullied him, and attacked the senior uncle and senior brother.
"Uncle Shi, the knife he is holding is Gong Xiaomu's treasure knife, who are you?" Senior Brother was taken aback when he saw the soft knife.
Ruan Jingtian didn't say a word, and used the heavy sword trick, the sword wind was terrifying, and all the senior uncle and senior brother were trapped. The uncle finally realized that he might not be able to defeat the other party, and there was cowardice in his heart, and the long sword shook with a false move, turning around and trying to withdraw from the range of the sword wind control.
Ruan Jingtian saw that the senior uncle was exposed, and his mind turned around, and the meditation sword drilled into the flaw in the air along the nearest and most direct path, and inserted it into the back of the senior uncle.
The senior brother saw that his uncle was killed, and he no longer had the fighting spirit, so he blocked several knives. Throwing away the long sword violently, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Hero, I surrender." I throw in the towel. β
The fourth junior brother who was hit by the black belly needle in the shoulder was still quite backbone, and he endured the poison of the black belly needle, and said bitterly: "Senior brother, you can't surrender! Never kneel down and kowtow!" After speaking, the long sword in his hand swiped his neck, and blood immediately rushed out. The fourth junior brother fell to the ground with a bang.
Ruan Jingtian looked at the senior brother who was lying on the ground, felt a burst of disgust and disgust, and waved the soft knife, and the senior brother's head flew out, and blood was sprinkled all over the sky.
There were two fierce battles in succession, even if Ruan Jingtian cultivated the Xuangang Technique, he also felt a little unbearable. He stood in place, rested for a while, and suddenly felt some pain in his buttocks, and then remembered that he had been hit by shrapnel from a grenade in his buttocks, and he was angry in his heart, how could this place be hit?
He drove the Xuan Jing with all his strength to impact the injured area, and after half an hour, the shrapnel was slowly forced out by the Xuan Jing. He applied gold sore medicine to the wound and took another holy pill to treat the wound. Soon, he visibly felt that his injuries were much better.
Ruan Jingtian interrogated the Zheguo warrior who was tied to the tree, and the information he got was basically consistent with Ruan Jingtian's guess.
Elder Shang foresaw that the merchant was going to be finished, and before being arrested, he gave the six deeply hidden warriors a task to ask the Lao Lin faction for help. In order to gain the trust of the Lao Lin faction, he not only took the initiative to expose the identity of the Zheguo people, but also gave a high reward, and informed the Dragon City Roadmap of the secret hidden in Gong Xiaomu. Therefore, the Lao Lin faction sent a luxurious lineup and did not hesitate to use thousands of miles of soul chasing incense to hunt down Gong Xiaomu.
The three senior brothers who died in the Daishan Mountain Range didn't know that Gong Xiaomu had a bigger secret, but they were used by the senior brother, and they really belonged to the type of being sold and helping to count the money.
At a restaurant on the outskirts of Laishan City, after the senior brother and the fourth junior brother failed to intercept Gong Xiaomu, they discussed with the uncle and the Zheguo warriors who came later: the Zheguo warriors took a shortcut, set up obstacles on the road in advance, and then intercepted them;
The secret order received by the six warriors was to kill Gong Xiaomu, regardless of the true road map, so their fighting style was all a lose-lose move; the Lao Lin faction was proud of its strong martial arts skills, and disdained Ruan Jingtian, first luring him with profit, and then using force to control him, but did not immediately put Ruan Jingtian to death, so the result was: the two sides of the cooperation with evil intentions did not cooperate with each other tacitly, but went their own way, and finally led to the destruction of Ruan Jingtian.
After Nguyen Ching Tien strangled the warriors of Zhe Quoc to death, he returned to the truck, took out the radio station seized from the State Security Administration, and sent a telegram to the Self-Reliance Group, asking Li Shinan to send someone here to clear the roadblocks and pick up Nguyen Ching Thien's return to the Self-Reliance Group.
After sending the telegram, he heard a slight movement behind him, and turned his head to see that it was Furball and his lover staring at him with two pairs of bright eyes. Ruan Jingtian was very puzzled in his heart, what kind of hurtful things did the people of the Lao Lin faction do to these two dogs, and actually made the two dogs turn against the water and defect to Ruan Jingtian. He took the two dogs in his arms, calmed them down, and sorted out the trophies.
There were a large number of medicinal herbs on the off-road vehicle that the Lao Lin faction was riding, and Ruan Jingtian guessed that this might be the medicinal herbs collected by the Lao Lin faction in the Daishan Mountain Range. Among these medicinal materials, there were many that Ruan Jingtian did not have, including one main material and two auxiliary materials that were lacking in refining Peizhen Dan. Ruan Jingtian had taken the Holy Pill and experienced the miraculous effects of the Holy Pill, and he had also seen the three senior brothers of the Lao Lin Sect who were fierce for the Holy Pill, so he decided to learn alchemy, at least to meet his needs for healing and cultivation.
The most surprising thing for Ruan Jingtian was that two spirit stones were found on the body of the old Lin sect's uncle. Looking at the crystal clear spirit stone, he was shocked that Ning Jing Wen had four spirit stones, and he thought to himself: This spirit stone must be extremely precious in the martial arts world, and Ning Ning Wen must be deeply loved by his grandfather. If his grandfather knew that his granddaughter had given the spirit stone to outsiders, I don't know how he would react?
He also carefully recalled the contents hidden beneath the merchant villa (see chapter 49), in which there were no spirit stones. He believed that the items had been scavenged by merchants from the Assassin Country. The merchant may have also obtained the spirit stone, but according to the precious process of the spirit stone, the merchant must have sent someone to send the spirit stone back to Zheguo.
Ruan Jingtian put the two spirit stones together with the other four spirit stones and hid them close to him. After sorting the rest of the loot into categories, he found an open space and began to practice various martial arts while waiting for the response of the self-reliant group.
The next morning, Nguyen Jing Tien returned to the gendarmerie. Immediately arrange for manpower to investigate and monitor the Dongdu Society, and pay close attention to Hu Qiuyuan's movements.
Three days later, Ouyang Wuliu, the master of the Qinglongmen Gate of Zheguo, and Shao Xinglu, the head of the Shao family, sat opposite each other.
"Master Shao, is there a result of the matter of releasing Xin?"
"Master Ouyang, an important clue has been discovered. There were six vehicles in the Liuyun provincial office of the General Administration of National Security, but after the fire, only the wreckage of five vehicles was found, and an elongated freight truck was missing. Highway checkpoint reports indicate that the vehicle had a military license plate suspended on the day after the fire. Driving from Quanshui City to Laishan City, it disappeared in the eastern suburbs of Laishan City, and the military license plate used by the car was one of the backup license plates of the National Security Administration. It was confirmed that all movable items from the General Office of the National Security Administration in Liuyun Province were moved before the fire. Therefore, it is highly likely that the items on this cargo truck were those of the National Security Agency. Your Qinglongmen's Mo Zen Sutra should be in this car. β
"Is there an anti-philosophical organization here in the eastern suburbs of Laishan City?" asked Ouyang Wuliu.
"With a small ambush team, it should be impossible for them to do such a shocking case. No group has claimed responsibility for the incident at this time, and it seems that the driver of the cargo truck and his fellow passengers are the main suspects, and we just need to find out where the car is going. to understand the truth of the matter. Shao Xinglu said.
"Let's take a look at the map of Liuyun Province. Ouyang Wuliu stood up and came to the front of the large map with Shao Xinglu.
"You see, the eastern outskirts of Laishan City are the famous Yidong Mountains in the southeast of Liuyun Province. The mountains are high and densely forested, sparsely populated, and the entire mountain range stretches for 200 kilometers, making it a good place to establish a secret base. The perpetrator's lair must be located in the depths of the mountain range, Shao Family Master, doesn't the Zheguo military plan to send troops to search out their lair?" Ouyang Wuliu said, pointing to the map.
"With this plan, the closest unit to the Yidong Mountains is the 796th Division, and it has been in contact with the 796th Division to discuss the dispatch of troops. However, the 796th Division was not enthusiastic about this, on the grounds that it was a needle in a haystack to find a truck in the Yidong Mountains. Because we only have clues about a truck, and as for whether there is a formed organization, it is impossible to determine whether there is a large intelligence system of the State Security Administration, so it is indeed very difficult to send people into the mountains to search. "The Shao family master has a difficult face.
"To the east of the Yidong Mountains is Dongshan City, is it possible that the perpetrator is suspicious, but its ultimate destination is Dongshan City?" asked Ouyang Wuliu again.
"It's possible. The case that Fang Xin investigated in the end was the business of Dongshan City. Perhaps it is the revenge of the remnants of the merchants, and the General Administration of National Security is organizing manpower to prepare to go to Dongshan City again in the near future to re-investigate the businessmen's affairs. β
"We Qinglongmen are also ready to send people to Dongshan City, if we are in trouble at that time, I hope that the General Administration of National Security can provide help and support. Ouyang Wuliu said.
"There is no problem with this, maybe the General Administration of National Security also needs the full support of Qinglongmen. By the way, what are you doing when you go to Dongshan City?"
"In the past, we asked the Hu family to help find a piece of information in Dongshan City, and the Hu family said that the information had been found, but later the information was snatched away by unknown people, and until now, the Hu family has not recovered the information. I plan to personally send someone to Dongshan Castle to investigate the looting of materials. Hmph, the Hu family is now hardened in wings, and it is a violation of the yang and yin to the Qinglongmen, and they actually sent a concubine Hu Erma to find information, obviously not paying attention to the affairs of the Qinglongmen. I sent someone to Dongshan City this time, and I also knocked on the Hu family by the way. Ouyang Wuliu said angrily.
"Dongshan City is very lively now, and the roadmap of the underwater Dragon City of the Longyin River has appeared, and people from all walks of life are eyeing it. Don't you Qinglongmen want to get a piece of the soup?" Shao Xinglu said with a smile, thinking: You Qinglongmen went to Dongshan City to knock on the Hu family under the guise of it, you should go to Longcheng.
"Hehe, let the master of the Shao family smile, but even if we have this intention, we have too little information. I'm afraid it's because I have more than enough heart but not enough power. The head of the Shao family should have more detailed information, can you share it with everyone?" Ouyang Wuliu looked at Shao Xinglu with complicated eyes and said.
"We don't have any better news, the Hu family's main focus is here, and they should have more news. When you arrive at Dongshan City, I think the Hu family will tell you a lot of news. Shao Xinglu said secretly in his heart: Ouyang Old Fox, as soon as I tried it a little, your fox tail was revealed, and you actually wanted the news of our Shao family, it was really wishful thinking. This time, I asked Fang Xin to hold the Mo Zen Sutra and not give you the Qinglongmen, this move is really good. But. It's a pity that even I haven't seen the Mo Zen Sutra, and something happened to Fang Xin.
"Hey, if the Hu family really had good news, then they would have done it a long time ago. But until now, I haven't seen any major movements from them, and it is estimated that they are not optimistic. The matter of Dragon City is only a legend of the gods, and I have never heard of anyone arriving on the spot. I suspect that someone may have deliberately set a trap for us to fall into a big trap. β
"It's also possible that we'll have to guard against this kind of machination. Shao Xinglu remembered Elder Shang's explanation before he died, saying that the merchant had obtained a fake road map. It is highly likely that the true road map is in the hands of a person named Miyatakaki.
Gong Xiaomu was born in a third-rate family and his reputation was not obvious, Shao Xinglu didn't take such a small role to heart at first, but later Gong Xiaomu actually had a leg with Shao Fangxin's fiancΓ©e Ning Jingwen. and appeared at the blind date banquet. What's even more bizarre is that on the night of the blind date banquet, Shao Fangxin and his colleagues were reduced to ashes. This can't help but make Shao Xinglu re-examine Gong Xiaomu.
Shao Xinglu believed that Elder Shang deliberately framed Gong Xiaomu when he was dying, and he also believed that Gong Xiaomu could not burn down the residence of the General Administration of National Security, but Gong Xiaomu's affair with Ning Jingwen was a thorn in Shao Xinglu's throat, and if he didn't remove this thorn, he would not be able to sleep well.
He decided to make a fuss about these two things.
"Master Ouyang, speaking of traps and conspiracies, I have a message here, you can analyze whether there are traps in them. Shao Xinglu told the process of the businessman's big trouble because of the press conference and Elder Shang's deathbed confession, and finally said: "The preliminary conclusion of the State Security Administration on this matter is that Elder Shang intended to frame Gong Xiaomu. Ouyang Sect Master, what do you think of this?"
"There is no Gong Xiaomu in the list of celebrities of the warriors of Zheguo, and his martial arts level should be very average. I don't think he's likely to have a real roadmap. If he really has it, with his level of martial arts, he will definitely not be able to keep such a heavy treasure as the True Road Map. I think Elder Shang deliberately said this in order to make us avenge the merchant, after all, the merchant's trouble was related to the press conference held by Gong Xiaomu. However, after we arrive in Dongshan City, we can meet this person, maybe this person may know some news that outsiders don't know, after all, he has lived in Dongshan City for a long time and is considered the master of Dongshan City. Ouyang Wuliu pondered for a while and said.
Shao Xinglu nodded and did not speak, his purpose of leading the water to the east was achieved.
Shao Xinglu returned home and saw his second son Shao Fanglei praising the phone porridge idly, and he was angry and said, "Fang Lei, are you calling your fox friends and going out for a drink." β
Shao Fanglei put down the phone and said aggrievedly: "Dad, Hu Jiehua called me, he will leave Zheguo tomorrow, and a few of us will see him off tonight, is Hu Jiehua a fox friend and a dog friend? Don't you praise him all day long and let me learn from him?"
"Oh, I see. Wait, I have something for you. "Hu Jiehua is the eldest son of Hu Qiuye, the head of the Hu family, and is currently working in the State Security Administration. Shao Xinglu naturally knew about this arrangement, and when he heard that his second son was going to see Hu Jiehua off, he suddenly had an idea.
"Fang Lei, because your brother Fang Xin had an accident, the matter between Fang Xin and the Ning family girl naturally can't continue, the Ning family's girl is really good, Fang Xin has no blessings. Shao Xinglu was a little sad when he talked about Shao Fangxin.
"Dad, since my brother can't marry Ning Jingwen, let me marry him, so that Ning Ning Wen is still your daughter-in-law. Shao Fanglei's eyes lit up, imagining the wonderful feeling of holding Ning Jingwen. Shao Fanglei secretly reledied: "Fang Xin, this short-lived ghost, it's best to die, with you, I will never get ahead." Now it's okay, you're dead, I can take over your wife, it's so pitiful to put Xin, I haven't even touched my wife's hand. It doesn't matter, your good brother will take good care of your wife for you. β
"How dare you think about it. The Ning family will look down on you like you, and only your eldest brother can enter the eyes of the Ning family. β
"Dad, I heard: At the blind date banquet, Ning Ning Wen brought a man to eat together, and it was clear that Ning Ning Wen didn't like my brother, maybe she would like me. Shao Fanglei was dissatisfied with his father always using his brother to press him, and pouted and said.
"Ning Jingwen's mother has apologized to your mother for this incident, saying that Ning Ning Wen is a child's temper and has nothing to do with that man, since the Ning family put down their bodies and took the initiative to talk about this matter, don't mention this matter again in the future. You are not suitable for the Ning family, but I feel that there is someone who is suitable for the Ning family. Shao Xinglu said.
"Dad, what do you think, it's just that you don't let me marry Ning Jingwen, why do you want to be a matchmaker for Ning Ning Wen and push her to others? Why are you so good to Ning Jingwen, she won't be your illegitimate daughter, right?" (To be continued......)
