"Young man, young man, wait..." As soon as Ye Xuan came out, Mao Shanming also came out with his luggage.
"Taoist priest, what can I do for you?" Ye Xuan turned around and looked at Mao Shanming who was running towards him.
"Hehe, little brother, my name is Wu Ming. People call me Mao Shan Ming. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ming." Mao Shan Ming smiled and tried to get close to Wu Ming.
"My name is Ye Xuan. Uncle Ming, what can I do for you?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Haha! If you don't mind, I will call you Brother Ye! " Mao Shanming chuckled. He scratched his head uncomfortably and said, "Brother Ye, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Where are you going?"
"Nowhere. I have just returned from a foreign country. I am traveling to gain more knowledge. This is only a village I have been to." Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"So Little brother Ye is also a traveler. Since that is the case, why don't we find an inn to rest for the night? Tomorrow morning, we will set off together. That way, we can take care of each other." Mao Shanming smiled. In fact, he was attracted to Ye Xuan's skills and his aggressive blood Qi. When he saw Ye Xuan easily take care of a few ghosts, he had an idea. If Ye Xuan could join hands with him, wouldn't he be rich?
Although Ye Xuan did not know what Mao Shanming was thinking, he believed that there was no such thing as love or hate in this world. Mao Shanming was obviously trying to get close to Ye Xuan, so there must be something wrong.
Looking at Mao Shanming, Ye Xuan said half-truthfully, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ming. I heard that a group of mounted gangsters will rob the neighboring Fugui Village tonight. These days, soldiers are in a state of panic. I want to go there now and see if I can be of any help."
"What? Mounted bandits want to rob the village? " Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Mao Shanming was startled. He rolled his eyes and forced an ugly smile on his face. He said, "Little Brother Ye is really chivalrous and courageous. I am ashamed of my inferiority. Although I also want to do my part, I am old and weak. My arms and legs are old, and I am powerless. I'll congratulate Little Brother Ye here in advance for displaying your invincible might and beheading the mounted bandits. Give our old family a peaceful and peaceful world. Since Little Brother Ye still has things to do, then I won't hold you up any longer. We'll meet again in the future. Goodbye! "
After that, without waiting for Ye Xuan to say anything, Mao Shanming carried his suitcase and quickly walked toward an inn at the corner of the street.
When he heard that Ye Xuan knew that there were horse bandits who wanted to rob the neighboring village, he still wanted to go there. Mao Shan Ming was a seasoned veteran of the Jianghu, so he naturally refused to go with them. In his opinion, this was an act of suicide. It was better not to be with this kind of hothead. Otherwise, he would not know when he would bring disaster to himself.
Looking at Mao Shanming, who was running as fast as he could as if there was a ghost chasing after him, Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head. He did not have any complaints about Mao Shanming's actions. After all, the longer one lived in the Jianghu, the better one knew how to seek fortune and avoid calamity. Not to mention a seasoned veteran like Mao Shanming.
Ignoring Mao Shanming, Ye Xuan had his own thoughts. He turned around and walked out of the village.
A cool breeze blew gently, and the night grew darker.
Ye Xuan was walking quickly on the road to Fugui Village. Beside him were the dark woods and the cries of unknown birds and beasts. If not for Ye Xuan's skill and courage, ordinary people would not take this road at night.
Twenty-five miles was neither too long nor too short. An average person could walk five to six miles in an hour, and it would take four to five hours to complete fifty miles. Even though Ye Xuan's speed and endurance far exceeded that of an average person, he could not maintain his top speed all the time in order to conserve his stamina and endurance. Therefore, it took him more than an hour to cross several hills and two intertwining rivers before he reached a forest.
In the forest, there was only a path about four to five meters wide that had been cleared by the villagers. Both sides of the path were covered with dense branches of trees. From time to time, the cries of night owls could be heard. The silence in the forest created a strange atmosphere.
Feeling the atmosphere in the forest, Ye Xuan frowned. He extended his mind into the storage space and found that he could not move the gun in it. Only then did he remember that the system seemed to have placed some restrictions on him when he entered the movie. Fortunately, the restrictions were not severe. Apart from the gun, everything else in the storage space could still be used. With a thought, a podao appeared in his hand.
"Coo! Coo! "
Just as Ye Xuan was walking away with his podao in hand, he suddenly heard a sound that sounded like a cuckoo from the side of the forest. With Ye Xuan's acute hearing, he could tell that the sound belonged to a human. Just as he looked in the direction of the sound, he heard a gust of wind above him. Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, stepped on the ground, and his figure swayed to the side.
Bang!!!
With a muffled sound, a huge piece of wood smashed into the place where he was just standing. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have been smashed into a meat patty.
"Charge! Catch him! "
A few people suddenly rushed out from both sides of the forest with knives and sticks. Judging from their clothes, they were obviously ordinary people. They fiercely slashed at Ye Xuan with knives and sticks.
Seeing these people, Ye Xuan guessed that they were probably villagers from Fugui Village. They had also received news that the bandits were going to rob them. These people were probably here to inquire about the news.
Since he had already guessed who these people were, Ye Xuan had no intention of harming them. He took a step forward, leaned his body to the side, and dodged the blade that was slashing at his head. Moving his right hand, he smacked the podao in his hand onto the man's right shoulder. The man felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and naturally, he lost his grip on the blade in his hand and dropped it. Ye Xuan hooked his right foot and kicked the blade away. As for the other few people who were holding sticks and gloves, Ye Xuan did not use his blade. Relying on his agility, he kicked each of them and knocked them to the ground with a few bangs.
"Kill!!!" — —
As if seeing a few people being knocked down, battle cries erupted from both sides of the forest. Then countless torches lit up, and dozens of people rushed out with knives, spears, sticks, and other weapons in their hands. They surrounded Ye Xuan tightly.
"Stop!" Just when Ye Xuan was about to open his mouth to explain, a steady shout came from the back of the crowd. Then, the crowd in the north automatically made way. A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties with white hair at his temples but was in high spirits walked out. He was the prestigious Ninth Uncle of Fugui Village.
"Master, you are here!" A sneaky man with small glasses who was originally surrounding Ye Xuan saw Ninth Uncle. While guarding against Ye Xuan, he walked in front of Ninth Uncle and said with a flattering smile.
"Well, we are here to ambush the Horse Gang. Why did you make such a big scene?" Ninth Uncle raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked at his apprentice, Ah Qiang, with a dignified expression.
"No, Master, this man came in the middle of the night. I suspect that he is an accomplice of the Horse Gang. He came to inquire about our situation first, so I wanted to catch him and interrogate him. Who knew that he would hurt several of our brothers …" Ah Qiang pointed his knife at Ye Xuan who was standing in the middle and explained to Ninth Uncle with a wronged expression.
"Nonsense!" Looking at the saber in Ye Xuan's hand, the few villagers who were basically uninjured, and looking at him looking calm even though he was surrounded by dozens of people, Ninth Uncle scolded him and said, "Can't you see that he has already shown mercy?"
After that, he ignored Ah Qiang and walked to Ye Xuan while sizing him up. He cupped his hands and said, "Hello, little brother. I am Lin Jiu. We are villagers of Fugui Village, not bandits. May I know why you are here in the middle of the night?"
"It turns out that you are villagers of Fugui Village. Hello, Ninth Uncle. I am Ye Xuan. Today, I heard a news that a group of Horse Gang wants to loot your Fugui Village. So I came here specially to inform you. I didn't expect that you have already known and seemed to have made a lot of preparations." Ye Xuan also cupped his hands and said.
"I see. Thank you, Little Brother Ye, for your help!" Uncle Jiu cupped his fists and thanked him. In this chaotic world, those who could take the risk to inform them, a group of ordinary people, were the ones Uncle Jiu admired the most.
"Ninth Uncle, you are too polite. I didn't help much." Ye Xuan shook his head and said.
"You can't say that. Little Brother Ye came here after hearing the news …" Ninth Uncle didn't agree with Ye Xuan's idea. He shook his head and wanted to say something. Suddenly, a villager ran over and interrupted him.
"Ninth Uncle, we saw that the Horse Gang has passed the mountain outside the mountain and the river in the river. They will come here in another two miles."
"Everyone, put out the torches and hide!" Hearing the villager's report, Ninth Uncle waved his hand and made the arrangement decisively.
Uncle Jiu was highly respected in Fugui Village. With an order, all the villagers extinguished the fire, and one by one, they went into the hiding places that they had found long ago and hid again.
Seeing that the villagers had gone into hiding, Uncle Jiu turned around and said to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, you should also go and hide. This group of horse bandits are vicious and do all kinds of evil. I heard that they killed more than 50 people in Gulin Village, which is 80 miles away. These people are inhumane."
Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ninth Uncle. I've also heard of the evil deeds of this group of bandits. Since I'm here this time, I naturally have to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and eradicate this group of bandits who have brought disaster to the region."
"Okay, then be careful later!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ninth Uncle nodded. Although he thought that Ye Xuan was a young man and his words were like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, he didn't attack him. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder as a confirmation.
Ye Xuan smiled and nodded. Then he turned around and walked into the forest. He found a tree with a larger trunk to hide himself.
The forest became quiet again. Everyone waited quietly in the dark for the arrival of the Horse Gang.
Bang bang bang!!! —
Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, a messy sound of horse hooves came from afar. The Horse Gang was here!
