On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the sun rose.
In the residence of the City Lord of Wu City.
"Brother Zhao, long time no see." A square-faced man wearing a golden fur coat smiled as he welcomed Zhao Danchen, who had just arrived at Wu City. Behind the square-faced man was the City Lord of Wu City. However, in this level of interaction, the City Lord had no right to interfere.
"Brother Zhao, let the servants take care of the Dark Demonic Horse. Come, follow me." Immediately, someone went to take the Dark Demonic Horse.
Zhao Danchen smiled and said, "Brother Wang, how many men of Qing Hu Island have arrived?" He walked side by side with the man in golden cloak.
The man in golden cloak said, "One hundred and fifty men of Qing Hu Island have just arrived. Right now, they are all resting in the backyard, waiting for Brother Zhao's orders. " Zhao Danchen frowned when he heard this. This time, Qing Hu Island ordered the garrisons of the six counties around Wu City to send men over.
Each garrison had to send fifty men.
But now, only half of the men from three counties had arrived.
"Yes, it's still early." Zhao Danchen looked up at the sky and said, "Last time, we realized that Teng Qingshan is very cunning in the dark." Zhao Danchen remembered clearly that in the Heavenly Flood Palace, when he and the King of Beasts Wu Hou were in front of the Golden Dragon Turtle, Teng Qingshan had been hiding in the corner and the two didn't notice him.
Even Zhao Danchen was a bit afraid of his ability to hide in the dark.
So — —
They had to act during the day!
Immediately, Zhao Danchen and the man in golden cloak rushed to the backyard.
*****
Because the distance between the six counties and Wu City was not the same, the order of arrival was not exactly the same.
"Jia!" "Jia!"
More than twenty dazzling yellow warhorses with blood-red hooves galloped on the official road like twenty sharp arrows piercing through the air. These were the Treading Fire War Horses from Rongzhou in the western region. They were considered the best horses in Rongzhou in the western region. They could travel nearly two thousand Li in a day.
The distance traveled in a day usually referred to the distance that could be traveled in ten to twelve hours during the day.
After all, horses needed rest. Each of these war horses was worth over ten thousand taels of silver, and now there were more than twenty of them. There were very, very few forces in the world that could be so extravagant.
"Master, Wu City is in front."
"Yes." The one riding at the front was a handsome young man in black. His face was as cold as ice. He was Yan Danchen, who had been transferred to Yuzhou as a Guardian and was in charge of the garrison of a county city. Yan Danchen received the news last night, he led fifty men and rushed to Wu City in Yu Zhou as fast as he could.
Therefore, Yan Danchen immediately used all the resources that Qing Hu Island had and got twenty-six Treading Fire War Horses.
He was riding one alone, and the Deputy Protector of the station was also riding one. The others all rode in pairs on a Treading Flame War Horse.
"The island is in such a hurry. What's going on?" Yan Danchen was puzzled.
But he didn't slow down, leading his troops into the city. Today, the guards at the city gate had clearly received instructions and did not stop them at all. At the same time, they even pointed the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Stop!" Yan Danchen ordered.
"Neigh ~ ~ ~" The twenty or so fire-treading war horses excitedly raised their front hooves and neighed in unison. All fifty men jumped down from their horses.
"Everyone, quickly follow me to the backyard. Just leave the war horses to us!" The guards of the City Lord's Mansion had already opened the gate. Someone immediately went to lead the horses. Yan Danchen led his men into the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of the guard.
Yan Danchen looked at the guard who led the way and asked, "How many people are here now?"
"Qing Hu Island has sent over two hundred men. Your batch is here, but there is still one more batch. "The guard smiled and said," The earliest batch arrived before the sun rose. "
"Oh." Yan Danchen was shocked. "It seems that the island has ordered many people to hurry over."
After a while, they arrived at the backyard.
The backyard was filled with people, but it was still relatively quiet. There were only some whispers, but no one dared to speak loudly. This was because in a pavilion not far away, Zhao Danchen and the golden man were sitting opposite each other.
"Yan Danchen, the Protector of Wu Nan County, Yuzhou, greets the Elder!" Yan Danchen immediately walked over and bowed respectfully.
"Oh, Danchen, you were sent out?" Zhao Danchen looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
Zhao Danchen remembered Yan Danchen very clearly. Firstly, Yan Danchen's performance in the past year was amazing. Secondly, Yan Danchen's name was too similar to his. Other than the surname, the pronunciation of their names was the same. One was Danchen, and the other was Danchen.
Zhao Danchen remembered this young man.
"Yes, Elder." Yan Danchen said respectfully.
"Okay. Take your men and rest at the side. We will talk when the last batch arrives." Zhao Danchen ordered. Yan Danchen immediately left.
Yan Danchen found a stool and sat down. Because there were too many people in the backyard, only those with high status could sit on stools. Most of the people stood at the side.
"Eldest Martial Brother, why are you in such a hurry to gather the people from the six counties? And fifty people from each city! "
"It must be something big. Even the people of Emperor Yu's Hall are here! It might be related to Emperor Yu's Hall or Teng Qingshan. Who knows ….. They will only tell us this secret when they are about to take action. "
Yan Danchen heard the conversation at the side and frowned slightly. "It might really be related to Big Brother Teng Qingshan!"
Yan Danchen was grateful to Teng Qingshan.
After all, Teng Qingshan saved his life. However, Yan Danchen was also very loyal to Qing Hu Island. His martial arts were taught by Qing Hu Island, and his teacher treated him very well. Therefore, he couldn't betray Qing Hu Island and do something that would cause Qing Hu Island to suffer a great loss.
"If this matter is really related to Teng Qingshan, I have to … …" Yan Danchen felt slightly anxious.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps rang. A large group of people came in from the entrance of the courtyard.
"Brother Zhao, all the people of Qing Hu Island are here!" The man dressed in gold in the pavilion in the backyard stood up and said with a smile. Zhao Danchen also stood up and looked at the three hundred people in the backyard. The protector who led the last group of people also bowed respectfully, "Protector Ying Xingzheng of Huayang County of Yuzhou greets Elder."
"Yes."
Zhao Danchen held a pile of papers in his left hand and walked to the center. He stood up and looked around, "Everyone, gather around me. Protectors, come to my side."
Immediately, Yan Danchen, Ying Xingzheng, Bai Bo, and the other protectors stood beside Zhao Danchen while the others surrounded him.
"This time, the purpose of Qing Hu Island coming to Wu City is to capture Teng Qingshan alive!" Zhao Danchen looked at the people around him. The people of Qing Hu Island, who didn't know about this and only had some guesses, were slightly shocked. They found Teng Qingshan? Yan Danchen's heart trembled.
Big trouble!
"If Teng Qingshan is alive, it will be a great shame to Qing Hu Island! Tens of thousands of Silver Dragon Soldiers of Qing Hu Island died because of this despicable person. Even the Young Island Lord was killed by him! "Zhao Danchen looked at the people around him and said," From now on, everyone, listen to me carefully. "
Zhao Danchen let go of the papers and with a "Bang" sound, a pile of papers fell to the ground. Zhao Danchen picked up the paper on the surface and said, "This is a detailed map of the entire Wu City. It also points out the location of the inn where Teng Qingshan is staying."
"The three hundred of you, what you need to do is! Within a radius of three miles from the inn, every street and every alley was filled with men and horses. No matter where Teng Qingshan escapes to, our men will find him immediately. I want him to have nowhere to run! "Zhao Danchen took out six maps from the pile of papers and handed them to the six protectors.
"The six of you, I have drawn the streets on this map."
Zhao Danchen had already planned everything when he was in the pavilion. These maps were naturally provided by Emperor Yu's Hall.
"Protector Bai Bo, your men are in charge of the first area on the south side of the inn. Fifty men, watch three alleys and one street. "
"Yes." Protector Bai Bo immediately bowed and responded.
"Protector Ju Yanfeng, your men are in charge of the second area on the east side of the inn. Watch all the places on the map carefully."
"Yes."
"Protector Yan Danchen, your men are in charge of the third area on the north side of the inn."
… …
Soon, the six protectors received their tasks. It was obvious that the three hundred men were watching the area within a radius of three Li with the inn as the center. Zhao Danchen continued, "Teng Qingshan is now disguised as the merchant 'Qin Wei'. These are the portraits of 'Qin Wei'. Every protector, take three. Everyone under your command must remember the appearance of 'Qin Wei'. "
The six protectors immediately took three portraits each. As they looked at the portraits, they were all shocked — — This Teng Qingshan's disguise was too amazing.
"You don't need to capture Teng Qingshan. I will take care of it myself." Zhao Danchen said coldly, "Once Teng Qingshan escapes, you must find his location. Of course, the possibility of him escaping to your location is not high. "
"Remember, none of your men are allowed to enter the inn or get close to the inn."
Zhao Danchen looked around and said coldly, "With Teng Qingshan's ability, as long as he sees a few of you, he will easily find out that something is wrong." The people of Wu City and the people of Yangzhou were slightly different in terms of temperament and way of speaking. Each place had its own people.
With Teng Qingshan's eyesight, if there were any strangers disguised as waiters or spying on them, he would definitely be able to find out.
"If anyone disobeys, the others can kill him immediately." Zhao Danchen said coldly, "Now, depart!"
"Yes."
The six protectors bowed and responded. Even though Yan Danchen was anxious, he couldn't think of a way to help Teng Qingshan because of Elder Zhao's arrangement.
… …
Zhao Danchen and the man clothed in gold left the City Lord's Mansion side by side and walked towards the inn. The two of them didn't seem to be moving very fast, but they were floating in the crowd and soon they were far away. They didn't walk along the main street. Instead, they walked through the alleys, crossed the river, and stealthily rushed to the inn at their fastest speed.
"Brother Zhao, I think you are making a big fuss out of nothing. This time, Teng Qingshan won't be able to escape. "The man clothed in gold laughed.
Zhao Danchen said coldly, "There is no harm in being careful. If I let Teng Qingshan escape again, I won't have the face to go back and see the Island Lord and the others."
"Don't worry. There are three Golden Dan Innate Elders of Emperor Yu's Hall opposite the inn." The man clothed in gold laughed and said, "In the entire Wu City, Emperor Yu's Hall has arranged over a thousand men to cover every corner of the city. It was Teng Qingshan who found you. He wanted to escape! With his speed, how could he escape from the three Golden Dan Innate Elders of Emperor Yu's Hall? "
"If we didn't consider Qing Hu Island, we would have asked Qing Hu Island to kill Teng Qingshan. Emperor Yu's Hall would have done it long ago. "The man clothed in gold said confidently.
