The cavalry was traveling all night, and although it was late at night, the wind was biting. However, this group of people was not hindered by the cold wind at all and continued to move forward on horseback.
These people are all dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but if you look closely, the knights on the horses have their eyes fixed and their expressions are stern. They are not ordinary people at first glance, and the single swords hanging on their waists indicate that they are guarding the cavalry behind them. The purpose of the man in the carriage.
The cavalry team of about ten people rode forward in the biting winter wind. After walking for about half an hour, they sat down and the horses were exhausted after days of running around. They were breathing heavily through their noses.
However, this group of people showed no signs of fatigue. At first glance, they looked like people who had been living on horseback all year round.
The young man walking at the front of the team had alert eyes. His common people's clothes could not hide his intimidating momentum. He looked back and saw that the horses sitting on the team were all tired. He then raised his hand to signal the people behind him to slow down and be alert. After taking a quick look around the surroundings, he immediately turned around and headed towards the carriage.
"General Wan, we are almost at the Lingzhou border. We have been running for days and the horses are a little tired. Can you take a rest before setting off?"
The leading young man did not speak to the carriage, but turned his head and reported to the rider beside the carriage.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Yan. We have been traveling for days to protect Wan. We are indeed tired. Today we will find a place to rest and recuperate before entering Lingzhou tomorrow."
The man on horseback next to the carriage said, this man has tiger-like eyebrows and leopard-like eyes, and a long beard reaching down to his belly. Although he is wearing ordinary people's clothing, neither his riding posture nor his unusual appearance can be concealed by ordinary people's clothing. .
This group of people was Qi Yunbei Border Commander Wan Jun and his party, who had left Yanbei City and returned to Liangzhou incognito to visit relatives.
Wan Jun loved the people and did not want to mobilize troops, nor did he want to be guarded by army sergeants and behave like a general in the northern border, so he chose the simplest way to return home.
The guards on the side were the Yunyingsi guards sent by the emperor himself. In the eyes of all officials, the Yan family's children in the Yunyingsi were the elite of the elite, and they usually only guarded the emperor's relatives.
In order to protect Wan Jun, the Holy Sect consists of ten people, each of whom is the best among Yan Ruohai's disciples, and the leader of this group of guards, Yan Bin, is the most outstanding person among Yan Ruohai's disciples.
Yan Bin has already stepped into the realm of first sight at a young age, and his skill with Dragon Palm has already revealed some of Yan Ruohai's charm. Best successor.
The Yan family is one of the most favored and trusted members of the emperor. His Majesty sends ten members of the Yan family to protect Wan Jun. It can be said that the emperor's favor cannot be increased.
Upon hearing Wan Jun's order, Yan Bin fisted his chest and performed a military salute. Then he pulled the reins in his hands and went to instruct everyone to find shelter from the wind and set up camp on the spot.
Wan Jun looked at the departing young man and felt a little emotional. Everyone in the court only said it was the emperor's grace, but only Wan Jun himself knew the pain.
When he heard that Yan Bin had sent out an investigative bodyguard to report that he found an abandoned house not far away, where he could shelter from the wind and spend the night, Wan Jun retracted his thoughts, smiled bitterly, and immediately ordered to spend the night in that abandoned house.
Yan Bin was indeed as attentive as silk. By the time Wan Jun arrived at the abandoned house, Yan Bin had already explored the surrounding area. Not only did he ask his guards to clean the abandoned house, he also arranged manpower for the front and rear yards. Guards at hand.
"General Wan, the house is deserted and shabby. Please stay here for one night. It will be better when we enter the Lingzhou border tomorrow." Yan Bin looked at the man in front of him who had the safety of Qiyun's northern border on his shoulders.
Since King Qi Yun and the eldest son were killed in the capital of Zhao, the current emperor has destroyed Zhao and established himself. Although the Jin State publicly declared a cessation of war, secretly it always used troops to test the border, and often used small groups of rovers to cross the border to harass the people.
Wan Jun has been in Yanbei for many years and has guarded the border with determination. Over the years, whether in the face of Jin army's temptations or roving raids, he has commanded properly and firmly guarded the Qiyun border behind him.
In Yan Bin's heart, Wan Jun's weight is already the existence of the war god Wang Tian who is stationed at Shanhaiguan all year round and the old national scholar Xiao Xiang, who are also called the pillars of the country.
He was such a general who cared about the people. Yan Bin really couldn't figure out why before he and others set out to Yanbei City, General Yan Ruohai, the leader, told him those four words, "Watch Wanjun."
Yan Bin was originally an orphan, but luckily Yan Ruohai was admitted to Youlongmen and taught him his skills. On Yan Ruohai's recommendation, he was promoted to the commander of the Yunying Division.
With a grateful heart, Yan Bin regarded Yan Ruohai and his son as his father and brother. Since it was Yan Ruohai's order, although Yan Bin did not understand why he treated Wan Jun like this, he still followed Yan Ruohai's order and treated Wan Jun's every move. Report every move to Yan Ruohai truthfully.
"Commander Yan doesn't need to be like this. Wan has been in the army for many years, and this kind of hardship is nothing. Commander Yan, on the other hand, has won the trust of the Holy Lord at a young age, and he is also the person who can be trusted by Master Yan. His future is limitless."
Wan Jun seemed to talk more than when he was in Yanbei City, and interrupted Yan Bin's thinking.
"The lower officials are frightened. General Wan has been guarding Yanbei for many years, and his merits are in Sheji..." Yan Bin hurriedly replied with military salute.
Wan Jun raised his hand to stop Yan Bin from continuing to speak, then he laughed at himself and said lightly with dignity: "It's cold outside, there is no danger here, let everyone come in and rest, go, this is a military order."
Although Yan Bin had been in Yanbei for a short time, he also knew that Wan Jun's orders must be carried out, so he immediately shut up, said no more, left the deserted house, and went to deliver the orders.
Wan Jun looked at Yan Bin's back, stroking his long beard, narrowing his leopard eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
——
Xiaoloufeng, Yulingzhai, the meeting hall is brightly lit.
Chi Tianya and Chi Qianren were accidentally hit by Hu Bao and temporarily stopped fighting. Hu Bao led the two sides to Xiaoloufeng Yuling Village.
Although both sides were on strike, a tense atmosphere filled the meeting hall. Hu Bao carefully accompanied him in the meeting hall, feeling infinite regret that he had to step forward, and now he was involved in right and wrong, and was in a dilemma.
Seeing both parties sitting down, Hu Bao rolled his eyes and thought of a way to escape. He quickly said to Chi Qianren with a smile on his face: "Brother Chi, I'm going to prepare some drinks for everyone. You are from the same sect, so you must have a lot to talk about."
After saying this, Hu Bao saluted everyone in the hall, and without waiting for anyone to react, he ran away and escaped from the meeting hall to get some wine.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling in a low voice. He turned around and saw Zhang Da'er from his Hutou Village hiding in the dark to greet him.
"Zhai Zhu, Zhai Zhu." Zhang Da'er lowered his voice and called with a wave of his hands.
"Damn it, I'll chop you up alive." Seeing Zhang Da'er and others abandoning him and running away, Hu Bao was so angry that he immediately stepped forward and was about to have a fit.
Seeing this, Zhang Da'er, Wu Laoqi and others quickly begged for mercy and said, "Master of the village, don't be angry. I was going to the village to bring reinforcements. When I was going to rescue you, I saw you leading those two gangs. We came to Yuling Village, so I followed them all the way, but now the brothers are all ambushing outside the village."
Hu Bao saw Zhang Da'er and Wu Laoqi's sincere expressions, and caught a glimpse of people hurriedly outside the village. He softened his expression and said, "I will trust you once. Go and find some people to carry the wine for me. Also, The rest of the people should disperse. I, the leader of your village, have made the masters from both sides stop fighting with my own skills. If I can persuade them to make peace, our Hutou Village will not only dominate Lingzhou Green Forest."
Hu Bao left, and there was no one else in the meeting hall. As if nothing happened at the Lingzhou boundary monument, Chi Qianren put on a smiling face and said to Chi Tianya: "Tianya, since you and I are reunited, why don't we all stay calm? How about reminiscing about old times."
"I came here this time according to the rules of the Mo sect. I didn't come here to chat with you. Now I have received the order. Please come out with the order of the one who takes the ink." Chi Tianya knew in his heart that the order of the one who used the ink of the Chi Qianren was Why did he summon himself and others to come, but he still pretended to be indifferent and said.
Where is the Mo Zhe Ling from Chi Qian Ren at this moment? He originally wanted to snatch the Mo Zhe Ling from Liu Piaopiao, but Liu Piaopiao had a master by his side and failed to get the Mo Zhe Ling. Seeing the mention of Chi Tianya at this moment, Chi Qianren thought to himself that he could only use the excuses he had thought of before to delay, and then send someone to find Liu Piaopiao and the ink master to come.
"To be honest, I don't have Mo's order."
When Chi Qianren said this, it was beyond Chi Tianya's expectations, but he clearly saw the seal of the Mo Zhe's order in the letter, and he stood up angrily.
"What. Not in your hands?"
Chi Qianren and Chi Tianya have been in the same sect for many years, and they are well aware of Chi Tianya's temperament, so he immediately spoke to comfort him: "Tianya, be calm and don't be impatient. Although Mo Zhe Ling is not in my hand, I did see Mo Zhe Ling, and Mo Zhe Ling is here In Lingzhou, we invited Junior Brother Tianya to come to Lingzhou."
When Chi Qianren saw that Chi Tianya's expression softened slightly, he continued to speak: "I have a friend in the martial arts world. Although I don't know where he got the Mohist Order from, I did see the Mohist Order with my own eyes from him."
Chi Tianya snorted coldly, and then said: "In that case, why invite me here? Wouldn't it be more in line with your temperament for you to take the Mo Zhe Ling yourself?"
Chi Qianren saw that his junior brother had fallen into the trap, so he smiled and said: "After all, I am also a member of the Mo Sect. I also want to get back the lost leader's token of the Mo Sect and return it to you."
He paused for a moment, seeing Chi Tianya's distrustful look, and then said: "It's just that my friend in the world needs a small favor from me before he is willing to return the Mo Zhe Ling. But for this kind of work, people like me may not be able to do it. If we don’t catch him, we have no choice but to ask Junior Brother Tianya to help.”
"When you left the Mo Sect with these traitors, you were no longer a member of our Mo Sect. You don't have to consider yourself a Mo Sect." Chi Tianya showed no mercy.
The two exchanged words. The freckled girl behind Chi Tianya listened and quietly winked at the scarred man on the side, as if to say: "Since Brother Tianya wants to save people, why are you still talking to Chi Qianren here?" Son, please accept it readily."
The scar-faced man understood the look in the freckled girl's eyes, and glanced at the Chi Qianren in the meeting hall, and raised his eyebrows towards Chi Tianya, as if replying: "You should pretend to be more realistic, if you agree so easily. Come down here, how can you not be suspicious of an old gangster like Shakuchenren?"
The freckled girl seemed to have understood the scarred man's eyes, and showed a look of surprise. Then she looked at the field, and heard that Shakuchen Ren was still not angry, but just smiled and said: "Even if it is for Momen, I think you will You won’t just sit back and watch.”
Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Chi Tianya was afraid that if he continued to be sarcastic, he and Chi Qianren would have to fight each other again, so he pretended to be thoughtful.
Chi Qianren saw that Chi Tianya seemed to be moved by the word "Momen" he said, and immediately sneered in his heart, knowing that his junior brother would not let go of the word "Momen".
"Tianya, no matter what grudges there are between you and me, regarding the matter of Mo Clan, you and I should work together to get back the order of Mo Zhe, how about that?"
"Okay, then let's put aside our grudges and get back Mo Zhe's order first, and then talk about anything else." Chi Tianya said reluctantly.
