Wen Wenhai was very tired, and the horsewhip in his hand mechanically whipped the horse's buttocks, hoping that it would run faster. Xue Qing beside her, her face was covered with a veil again, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and she also urged the horse she was riding.

Wen Wenhai glanced back at Xue Qing occasionally, and sometimes encouraged him: "Senior sister, hold on a little longer, and soon we will be within the range of our shili, and then we will rest." ”

Xue Qing replied: "I know, senior brother, let's go quickly." ”

After the two of them came down from Shiren Peak, they didn't care too much at first, the task had been completed, that is, to bring things back to the sect, and even immersed in the joy of getting the medicine, and when they got on the horse and saw these two horses that were among the best in the sect, the two realized the meaning of the master letting them ride such a handsome horse, and at the same time, Wen Wenhai also remembered the master's inconspicuous instruction, "Hurry back." At the same time, they are also aware of their dangerous situation, not to mention whether the other three parties have other intentions, even if the ordinary Jianghu sect gets a little rumor, or finds the things they carry, those are priceless treasures in the eyes of the Jianghu people, and the two of them are not guilty, and the lives of the two of them can not be saved. The two of them couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, glanced at each other, turned over and got on their horses, no longer staying for a moment, and galloped with a whip.

The two of them galloped on their horses for a day and a night. Fortunately, it is a person who practices martial arts, and his body is so good that ordinary people have already broken up their bodies.

At noon this day, the two were on their way, and from a distance, they saw a tea shop on the side of the road, most of which were simple tents or thatched roofs set up on the side of the road, and were ventilated on all sides, providing simple tea and wine for passers-by to rest.

When he was about to arrive at the tea shop, Xue Qing couldn't help but say to Wen Wenhai: "Senior brother, why don't we take a break, and after one more meal, we will enter the shili range of our ethereal faction, it should be safe here." ”

Wen Wenhai was also a little moved, slowed down, and gradually approached the tea shop.

However, Wen Wenhai thought about it for a while, and said to Xue Qing with a smile: "Senior sister, it's just the kung fu of a meal, it's coming soon, we've been on the road for so long, we don't have to care about this little bit anymore, let's hurry up for a while, how about resting when we get to our territory?"

Xue Qing said: "Haode, senior brother, we won't do anything that has been wasted, let's go quickly." ”

With that, the two of them regained their spirits, picked up their speed, and galloped past in front of the tea-shop, ignoring the beads of sweat and the already trembling legs of the horses under them.

At this time, there were not many people in the tea shop, sitting on a small table near the side of the road sat two men in strong suits, one with a white face, five long strands of hair moving with the wind, holding a sword in his hand, and the other with scorched black skin, a stout body, big hands and feet, and no weapons. The two of them were leisurely sipping the tea in the rough tea bowl on the table, and when Wen Wenhai's horses slowed down slightly from the front of the tea shop and picked up speed again, they both saw it.

After Wen Wenhai's horse, looking at the dust raised on the road, the man with the sword glanced at the dark-skinned man opposite, and said with a smile: "Sixth, don't drink, let's go too, I didn't expect that Ah Hai, this kid is really cautious, he doesn't even enter this tea shop, and the third child is a good apprentice." ”

The sixth brother said: "Yes, fourth brother, these disciples of ours are not as cautious and cautious as Ah Hai, but unfortunately his talent is limited, and it is difficult to make an inch of progress in martial arts, otherwise it is unlimited." Alas, it's just a pity for these two good horses. ”

After speaking, the two threw down the tea money, brought their horses, and chased after them.

However, they didn't know that a passer-by in ordinary clothes behind them had a gleam in his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "What happened, and two of the Ethereal Six Tigers were asked to answer?"

After the two of them led the horses away, they immediately settled the account and quietly followed.

But it was said that Wen Wenhai beat the horse and walked forward, and after a meal, he saw that the crowd had gradually increased, and there were more stalls along the road, and Pingyang City was seen from afar. Suddenly, I could hear the horse under him "slip~" a wail, as soon as the four legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, Wen Wenhai felt his body sinking, and immediately patted the horse's back, and his body jumped off the horse with strength. Seeing this, Xue Qing hurriedly tightened the reins and slowly stopped his horse. Then I saw the horse, lying limply on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and slowly closing its eyes, and it was exhausted to death. Xue Qing also hurriedly looked at his horse, his horse was no better, his legs were trembling, and the horse's mouth was slightly flooded with some white foam, it seemed that he could no longer ride.

Wen Wenhai stood on the side of the road, looked at the horses lying down on the side of the road, and the panicked passers-by around him, thought for a while, took out a ringing arrow from his arms, and shot it at the sky, "whoosh", and heard the arrow fly into the air, making a sharp sound, in the empty sky, it was far away.

As soon as the sound of the arrow passed, I heard someone greeting from behind: "Ah Hai~" Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing looked back and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It was the two men in strong clothes who were resting in the tea shop just now.

When the two of them rode to the front, Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing stepped forward to salute: "To the fourth uncle, the sixth uncle, please be safe." ”

The two of them threw their stirrups and dismounted, and said with a smile: "The two senior nephews don't need to be polite, we are here to greet them on the order of the senior brother in charge, wait a while, and they will come over." ”

Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing both nodded yes, so they stood next to the two senior uncles and waited quietly.

At this time, the tense strings in the hearts of the two were completely relaxed.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people galloped from a distance, first a scholar wearing a square scarf, aged forty years old, white face beardless, wearing white clothes, looking very young, like a person reading, followed by a beautiful woman who exudes a mature atmosphere between the eyebrows, dressed very plainly, both of them rode white horses, followed by a dozen people dressed in strong clothes, each with a sword, the essence of the eyes is shining, some people's temples are still bulging high, at a glance you know that they are masters in the martial arts, these people are urging the horse while their eyes are wandering around, vigilantly looking around。

When the two of them arrived, they turned over and dismounted, Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing stepped forward to salute and said, "See the master." ”

This scholar turned out to be Ou Peng, the head of the Ethereal School!

It's so inconspicuous.

The two of them saluted the beautiful woman again: "See my wife." ”

The beautiful woman looked at them with a smile and did not speak, Ou Peng said: "Okay, Ah Hai, Qing'er, you have worked hard, you don't need to be polite, you also know that your master and wife pay little attention to the affairs of the gang, and today is also an outing." ”

The two people behind Wen Wenhai also stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the senior brother and sister-in-law of the head of the family." ”

Ou Peng stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "You have also worked hard. ”

The fourth old man got up and said, "It's not hard, we're just tasting tea, your disciple doesn't even enter the tea shop, so be cautious." ”

Wen Wenhai then understood. Hurriedly said: "Isn't the disciple not aware that Uncle Shi is here, otherwise he would have left with Uncle Shi a long time ago." ”

Then he said to the master: "The disciple is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he retreats with his sister, but this horse is ......."

Ou Peng hahadaxiao said: "It's okay, no matter how handsome the horse is, it can't be more important than you, as long as you come back safely, it's better than anything." ”

Then he said to the people behind him: "You leave a horse for Qing'er, and then deal with it." ”

After speaking, he took Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing and other four people to fight the horses and returned, leaving only two people to deal with the dead horses, and they didn't even say a word about the things on Wen Wenhai's body.

The ordinary passer-by who followed them witnessed the whole process, and was even more surprised in his heart, and without thinking too much, he turned on his horse and galloped away in the other direction. Presumably to rush back to the gang to report this matter, it must be a big thing for Ou Peng to go out to greet him.

Wen Wenhai and the others followed the team to Pingyang City, and when they arrived at Pingyang City, they did not enter the city, but bypassed the city gate and went in the other direction, and after the tea effort, they came to a mountain villa outside the city.

This villa is built on the mountain, in front of the villa are scattered households, high and low houses are scattered, there are many people busy with their own affairs, see the big team coming, all get out of the way early, but also pay tribute to the horse Ou Peng Shili.

Further inside, there is a straight road with huge trees planted beside it. After crossing the road, there is a gorgeous archway, the huge two words on the archway are "ethereal", which is the same as the words on the token that Xue Qing gave to the Zhang family, but these two words are even more indescribably elegant.

After the archway, you will see a high platform, more than ten steps above the empty door, there are already dozens of people who look like disciples in the gang, waiting in front of the door and up and down the steps, in front of everyone is a fair-skinned, gentle temperament, the age is not much different from Wen Wenhai, it is the senior brother Zhang Chengyue in the faction, and so Ou Peng and others dismounted in front of the steps, Zhang Chengyue led everyone to say in unison: "Welcome to the gang master." ”

Ou Peng waited for the dismount, someone took the reins in their hands, Ou Peng said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's all disperse, disciples who participated in the advanced competition, hurry up and practice, there is not much time left for you." ”

The disciples said, "Yes, follow the teachings of the helper." ”

Then Zhang Chengyue followed Ou Peng and others across the door, and the others were busy with their own work, these disciples were ordered to gather together by the gang leader a few days ago, and they were on guard day and night, thinking that a major incident would happen, but today, the gang leader went out for a trip, and announced that he had canceled this anticlimactic vigilance, so that the disciples couldn't help but be confused, however, this is the business of the gang leader, and the advanced competition related to their future is still important, if they can advance, their status and treatment in the gang will be different, maybe they can learn more advanced martial arts, this is their own business。 For the rest, these disciples won't ask much.

Ou Peng took everyone to the council hall, and Ou Peng's wife saw that they had a gang matter, so they retired first, and the others followed Ou Peng into the council hall.
