Cao Zhenyan's expression changed. "Are you serious?" he asked in surprise. When he first heard about Escort Long's death, he was only slightly surprised but didn't take it to heart. Now, however, he was anxious. Nangong Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I have nothing better to do? Why would I lie to amuse you? "
Escort Cui said, "Please don't worry, Lord Cao. Escort Long was killed by thieves and we are all deeply saddened, but we still carry out his will. There is no reason for the escort box to be robbed in our Jianye Escort Agency! " Cao Zhenyan saw that he was making a solemn vow and his heart relaxed a little. He said, "According to what you said, the dart is safe and sound now?" Escort Cui laughed, "Safe and sound!" Cao Zhenyan said, "Good! Then we'll leave immediately. The sooner we get it, the sooner we'll finish the job. A long night may lead to trouble. "He cupped his fists and said to Jiang Liechen," Young Master Jiang, I'll invite you for a drink another day. "
Nangong Xue sneered and said, "It's fine if you don't believe me. I'll just tell you that it was that old Taoist from the Kongtong Sect who wanted Escort Leader Long to cooperate with him to rebel against his superiors. Escort Leader Long refused and was killed. As for his whereabouts, we were just about to go after him, but your useless subordinates kept bothering us and getting in our way. There's no way to know where he is now. "She spread out her hands and made a gesture of helplessness.
Escort Cui thought, "It's impossible that the Taoist priest didn't know about such a big thing happening in the agency. But he's still missing. What's the reason? Could it be that she's telling the truth? "But he said conceitedly," I knew that the Taoist priest didn't have any good intentions. It was true. "Nangong Xue said," You knew he was harboring evil intentions, why didn't you say anything? You saw that Escort Long's death was beneficial to you, so you were happy. Isn't that right? But you've just taken over the agency and it's already a disaster. There's nothing to see here. "
Escort Cui's words just now were meant to show that he had foresight, but instead he overreached himself. "Stinky girl, you're talking nonsense!" he angrily said. Seeing his anger, Nangong Xue was very pleased. "What about me?" she asked. What are you waiting for? "Escort Cui said impatiently," Your acupoints will be unsealed in eight hours. What are you arguing about? "
Escort Ji smiled and massaged Li Yijie's and Nangong Xue's acupoints several times. He said, "Right now your four limbs may still feel sore and numb, but that is because your blood and Qi are not flowing smoothly. Wait a little while and you will be able to return to normal. Li Yijie cupped his fists and said, "You're too kind!" Nangong Xue said, "He's too kind, but I'm not. Escort Cui needs to apologize to us. "Escort Cui said angrily," Do you think I'm afraid of you? "
Jiang Liechen laughed and said, "Her acupoints? It doesn't matter if you don't understand or not. Escort Cui, you're too wishy-washy. The earlier you unsealed her mute acupoint, the better. " Escort Cui had long known that Jiang Liechen's martial arts were unfathomable. Now that Cao Zhenyan also treated him with respect, Escort Cui had to be extra careful. "Jiang Gongzi's advice is very good," he said with a laugh. "You dare!" Nangong Xue shouted. Escort Ji laughed and said, "Escort Cui, why aren't you making any progress? Why are you competing with a little girl? "
Li Yijie wanted to change the topic. "Hengchen," he said with a smile, "Did you really subdue those desert bandits? Jiang Liechen smiled and stood up to leave the table. "Is she not with you?" he asked in a low voice. "She?" Li Yijie asked, "She? Who? Desert bandits? " Li Yijie asked. Shen Shiyun helped Grandma Tang to the side. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Li Dage, how can you be so stupid? Jiang Gongzi is obviously asking about Miss Chu. Am I right? "
Jiang Jianchen was extremely embarrassed. If Li Yijie had directly answered earlier, this matter would have been over. However, he did not understand the meaning behind Shen Shiyun's words. Instead, Shen Shiyun's words made it known to everyone. His expression darkened. Nangong Xue had never seen such an expression on his face. She was about to tease Cao Zhenyan to get her revenge when a waiter stepped forward and bowed to Cao Zhenyan. "When Xiao Ren was out buying cloth and silk, I saw a Taoist priest riding a horse and driving a large carriage. Looking at the horse's condition, the contents of the carriage seemed to be very heavy."
Cao Zhenyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where did he go? "The waiter said," How can Xiao Ren interrupt when Daren is talking? I didn't look carefully at that time, but he was heading out of the city. "" Want to escape? "Cao Zhenyan said. "Do you think it's that easy? There's no time to lose. Quickly pass down the order to seal the city gates. We'll go after him! " Escort Cui was a cautious man. He was worried that the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect might have other helpers. "Is there anyone else with him?" he asked. "Others? Yes, there was a young man riding with him. He didn't seem to have learned any martial arts. "
"That young man … what did he look like?" Grandma Tang suddenly asked with a trembling voice. The waiter cast a sidelong glance at her and unhappily said, "He looked like you. His clothes were ragged and he looked like a scholar. His appearance could be considered delicate and pretty." Grandma Tang's whole body shook. "Ah!" she cried out. She grabbed Li Yijie's hand and anxiously said, "That must be Yuanyuan … it must be him. This child just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. What should we do? What should we do? "
Li Yijie hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, please wait here for a moment. This trip is very dangerous. Junior will do his best to save him." "You also know that this trip is very dangerous?" Grandma Tang said, "Then how can I put Yuanyuan in danger?" Li Yijie was about to persuade her again when Shen Shiyun shook her head and seriously said, "Grandma is worried about her grandson. She wants to see with her own eyes that Master Yuanyuan is safe and sound. That's human nature. I'll help Grandma and take care of her. "Nangong Xue laughed coldly and said," It's good that you're going. If you sing a song for him, we won't have to fight anymore. "
Grandma Tang did not hear the hidden meaning in her words. She was delighted and said, "Yuner, I didn't know you could sing. When we have time, Grandma wants to hear it." Shen Shiyun lowered her head and did not say anything. Outside the building, Escort Leader Cui ordered his subordinates to bring back four big horses. Cao Zhenyan and Jiang Liechen each rode one. The other two were Escort Leader Cui's and Escort Leader Cui's mounts.
The four of them did not delay any longer and urged their horses to gallop. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue used their internal energy to gallop. Both of them had some level of internal energy so it was not too strenuous for them. The officers and soldiers followed closely behind. Shen Shiyun supported Grandma Tang and walked quickly. Because one of them had a weak body and the other was old and weak, the distance between them gradually increased.
Tang Yuancheng was released by the desert bandits and found that he was in a very strange place. He thought about how the bandits took him away for no reason and locked him in a small dark room after he fainted. No one came to answer him and not long ago they drove him out without saying anything. It was no wonder that he was dizzy. He sighed inwardly and wondered what kind of bad luck he had. Along the way he asked several passers-by about the 'Tang family in the east of the city', but they all said they did not know. Just as he was panicking, he suddenly saw a Taoist priest driving a big carriage towards him. His expression was very majestic. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, I have something to ask you. Do you know how to get to the Tang family in the east of the city?"
The leader of the Kongtong Sect was worried about the pursuers and was in a hurry to escape. Unfortunately, he met this ungrateful brat and wished he could kill him with one palm. But if he was really that impulsive, he would not have been able to stand tall in the Wulin world until today. He thought about it and made a decision. He frowned and asked, "Are you from the Tang family?" Tang Yuancheng hurriedly said, "Yes, my name is Tang Yuancheng."
The leader of the Kongtong Sect thought to himself, "This time I've put all my eggs in one basket. After all, I'm still in Chang 'an City. If they catch up with me, it will be terrible. It's better to take him with me first. With a hostage by my side, I think they will be afraid. After we leave the city, I'll kill this brat. " He immediately restrained his anger and put on a kind expression, saying, "So it's the young master of the Tang family. It's really not easy to escape from the desert bandits. I have some friendship with your family. Come, I'll take you there."
Tang Yuancheng was overjoyed. After thinking for a while, he felt that it was inappropriate. He said, "Uncle, you still have important things to do. How can I trouble you? I just need you to show me the way. " The leader of the Kongtong Sect laughed and said, "What trouble? Your family and I are going the same way. Uncle usually likes to do good. Young master, you don't have to be polite. It's just that I have something important in my carriage. I'll have to trouble you to ride this horse with me. "
Tang Yuancheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Wonderful. I've never ridden a horse in my life." Suddenly, his face turned sad. He sighed and said, "Uncle, please don't laugh at me. My parents passed away early. I've always been raised by my grandmother. I just study every day, hoping that one day I'll be the top scorer and get an official position. It's just that this horse … "As he said, he looked very shy.
The leader of the Kongtong Sect had guessed that he was afraid. He laughed and said, "Young master, don't panic. Give me your hand. I'll help you get on the horse." Tang Yuancheng held his hand and immediately felt a burst of strength. His whole body was as light as a feather, as if there was no gravity at all, as if he was being lifted up by the waves. Turning his view, Tang Yuancheng found himself sitting on the horse's back, right behind Tang Yuancheng. He immediately prostrated himself in admiration. "Uncle," he said, "Are you the 'Wulin master' that people are talking about?"
The leader of the Kongtong Sect smiled and urged his horse forward. He said, "Uncle is untalented. You are indeed a Wulin man. But the word 'master', I don't dare, I don't dare." Recently he had been repeatedly ridiculed. Now that he was suddenly praised like this, although the other party was a scholar who did not know martial art, he was still very happy. At the same time, because he was not a Wulin man, his mind was simple and honest, he did not have any evil intention when he spoke. Therefore, he was expressing his sincere respect toward him.
Tang Yuancheng continued, "Uncle … no, Shifu, would you please accept me as your disciple? If your disciple has Shifu's martial art skill, someday when thieves come, I won't have to be afraid. "The leader of the Kongtong Sect thought," My martial art skill can only be used to deal with third-rate thieves? " Although he was greatly displeased, he knew that Tang Yuancheng did not have any evil intention. "You are a scholar," he said indifferently, "Our family is counting on you to bring glory to our ancestors. If I hold you back, it will be my fault." Tang Yuancheng was a yes-man, but he did not understand why studying and learning martial art could not coexist.
The horse was a fine colt bought by the Jianye Escort Agency with a lot of money. Its speed was beyond human comprehension, very soon they had traveled quite a distance. Tang Yuancheng rarely went out, therefore, the way the Kongtong Sect Leader took him was completely wrong, he was not aware of it.
By this time it was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly. Since Tang Yuancheng was captured by the desert bandits the day before, he had not eaten a single grain of rice. This moment he felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. Suddenly he saw a tea stall not too far ahead. "Shifu," he happily said, "Disciple wants to ask for a cup of herbal tea to drink." As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately regretted it. He remembered that his Shifu had been driving for a long time under the scorching sun, presumably he was even more tired. Therefore, he was being too inconsiderate toward him.
Sure enough, he heard the Kongtong Sect Leader snorted and said, "Didn't you want to learn martial art? It is not the same as studying, where you have to suffer some hardship. Now you can't bear it anymore? " Tang Yuancheng blushed. "No," he said, "I heard Shifu's breathing is slightly heavier than before, your clothes are also sweaty. You must be very tired. Disciple is not in a hurry, I want to ask Shifu to take a rest. "The Kongtong Sect Leader laughed and said," You, this kid, have a good conscience. "
Nothing happened along the way, Tang Yuancheng chattered incessantly, so he chatted with him for a moment or two. Tang Yuancheng had read ancient books since he was a child, he also studied the art of war very well. After talking with him for a while, he was able to make great progress in the field of battle. He could not help but was delighted, his murderous intent gradually disappeared. He thought, "In the future when I am conquering the south and fighting the north, I will let this kid be my military adviser, he will give me advice and suggestions. This kid is simple and easy to manipulate. Right now he is loyal and devoted to me. If I really accept him as my disciple and teach him martial art, what's wrong with that? "Thereupon he said," What's so good about the coarse tea on the roadside? Wait until we settle down, Shifu will treat you to good wine, the taste will be a lot better. "
