Although Mu Sheng could clearly see the direction of the big man's attack, the speed and power were not the same. In the world of martial arts, only speed and indestructibility were the key. In the final analysis, it was the skill that mattered. At this moment, he could not deal with it as easily as before.
Mu Sheng clenched his weapon and rarely became serious. A lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength, and there were many cases where masters capsized in the ditch. He made a gesture and quickly called for his teammates to attack this person together.
Mu Sheng held a sharp sword and poured it into his true energy. The sword body glowed with green light, and he received the big man's blow with all his strength. He only felt a tightness in his chest and took several steps back. He could even achieve the three powers of a heavenly master like his senior brother. He barely caught it, let alone the person in front of him?
Wan Jiu saw that the leader who had used his ultimate move only took a few steps back when he hit him with all his strength. He immediately understood the gap between him and Mu Sheng. He suddenly went crazy and chased Mu Sheng like a storm. The most powerful mysterious swordsman attacks, as long as this person is killed, the rest will not be a concern.
At this time, several teammates saw that Mu Sheng and Wan Jiu were at a disadvantage in the battle, and they all raised their swords to form a fencing formation and rushed into the battle group. Wan Jiu suddenly felt a little struggling. At this moment, the crazy look flashed in the big man's eyes. When Mu Sheng saw this, he felt alert and subconsciously took seven or eight steps back with his sword.
I saw an afterimage of the big man wielding an iron halberd and struck with lightning speed. At this time, there was a scream. A teammate who came with him had his weapon broken by the big man's halberd. He and his weapon were killed together. On the spot, the whole place was dripping with blood. These two moves actually broke the joint attack of six people.
Wan Jiu's momentum was like a rainbow, like an angry lion, he held a halberd and struck at Mu Sheng himself. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Sheng spread out his body skills to avoid his fierce attack. Wan Jiu also knew that Mu Sheng was the most powerful among them, so he took This person may have a chance of survival.
Seeing this, the remaining four people took out a small and exquisite crossbow from their arms. Under the reflection of the firelight in the courtyard, the crossbow arrow flashed with cold light, and they could only hear "Whoosh!" call out! call out! After a few blasts, Wanjiu's body froze, and it was obvious that he had been hit by an arrow.
Mu Sheng's heart moved, and he was about to go up and take advantage of the opportunity to kill Wanjiu, when he suddenly saw his body was like a breath of air, his muscles trembled, and those arrows were squeezed out of his body by him. It was indeed the hard work of ninth-level horizontal training. This won't hurt him at all.
A cold light flashed in Wan Jiu's eyes, and he rushed forward with his halberd and then attacked Mu Sheng crazily. Mu Sheng had to spread his body skills to avoid its sharp edge, trying to delay time and watch the secret technique he used. There must be a time limit for this trick to temporarily increase his skill. , you can easily capture him by dragging him until he is exhausted.
Wan Jiu chased after Mu Sheng, constantly attacking, each move more fierce than the last. Mu Sheng would hide whenever he could, and if he couldn't dodge, he would just continue to avoid his sharp attack.
After a cup of tea, Mu Sheng's eyes flashed and he saw Wanjiu's steps were sloppy, obviously much weaker than the force of the attack just now.
Mu Shengxin said, Come on! The five seconds of being a real man are up, and the Sa family will send you off to the west.
In a matter of seconds, Mu Shengfei cut off his iron halberd with a flash of cyan sword energy in front of him. Just when Wanjiu was confused, his teammates behind him made a few sounds, and he saw that his back was deeply pierced. With four arrow clusters, Wanjiu could no longer block the sneak attack of the strong bow and crossbow as soon as all his strength was gone.
A green sword energy flashed through, and Wan Jiu's body stagnated. His head flew to the corner and rolled a few times. His eyes widened with anger as if he would not close his eyes. Seeing this, Mu Sheng took a few steps back to avoid blood splattering on his body. The big man was headless. The corpse spurted out a large amount of blood like a fountain and took a few steps forward based on its inertia before collapsing.
Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, it was over. Several people had been fighting Wanjiu for a long time. In fact, it all happened in a flash of lightning.
A group of soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead quickly limped and dispersed when they saw this gang of vicious assassins hacking their boss to death.
Mu Sheng walked to the black headless corpse and looked at it for a long time. He saw that his corpse quickly began to dry up.
Mu Sheng was very interested in the secret technique he used at the last moment. Judging from the current situation, it should have serious side effects and should not be used until the critical moment. He shook his head and returned to the house to see if he could find any loot. Come.
The woman in the room was hiding under the quilt. When several people came in and started screaming loudly, Mu Sheng stared at her coldly and raised his right hand to make a silencing gesture beside the mask. Without saying a word, the woman was frightened. He shivered and immediately shut up.
Mu Sheng went forward and rummaged through the boxes for a long time. Except for some gold and silver jewelry, there was nothing particularly valuable. As soon as he walked across a floor, he was keenly aware that the sound seemed wrong.
He chopped it a few times with his feet, kicked open the carpet, and found a trap door underneath. He opened the wooden board and saw a box and several parchment rolls inside.
Um! I don't have time to study it now. The fact that this thing is placed here means that it is much more valuable than those gold and silver jewelry. Let's take it back first.
Mu Sheng unfolded the parchment and glanced at it. There was a topographic map carefully drawn on it, which seemed to be of some value.
Mu Sheng picked up the tablecloth and wrapped the things and walked out. He happened to see Yao Ji leading someone through the door. It is estimated that the little soldiers over there had spread the news that the boss was dead. The morale of the people in front would have collapsed immediately, otherwise It is difficult for Yao Ji to break in with such a small number of people.
Yao Ji looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and then at Mu Sheng's naked body. He quickly came forward, cupped his fists, and saluted, "Brother Liu is really good at his skills. I really admire him. These ninety-nine things are worth mentioning in this world." I have been in control for several years and no one can cure it, but I didn’t expect Brother Liu to achieve such great success as soon as he took action.”
Hearing this, Mu Sheng waved his hands and said, "Brother Yao, you're welcome. If Brother Yao hadn't been attracting the enemy's attention from the front and all brothers had sacrificed their lives, I wouldn't have captured these ninety-nine so easily."
Mu Sheng handed him the sheepskin topographic map he had just found and said, "I found this. It should be where he buried his money. You can take your brothers to find it. This man has been in the world for many years and has been running salt fields for many years. It should be The family is rich."
Yao Ji took the parchment and looked at it carefully, then solemnly put it in his arms.
"Brother Liu, naturally there are people here to finish things off, so without further ado, let's go back now!"
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Okay! I'm a little tired after this battle, so I'll go back to the city to rest."
After everyone returned to the inn, Mu Sheng went back to his room and opened the box in his hand. He saw that there was a fist-sized luminous pearl in the box. It was indeed rare to see in terms of appearance and priceless. Let's give it to Yun'er to play with.
Mu Sheng took out another sheepskin picture he had just found and read it carefully for a long time. After thinking about it for a while, he found that it was indeed the secret technique used by the big man just now, but it was of no use to him.
This evil skill is supplemented by a rare drug and combined with the corresponding internal skills and mental methods. It can stimulate the human body's potential in a short period of time. However, the side effects are also very serious. After using it, you will be in a weak state for several days. For monks like them, Saying it was better than nothing, he threw the parchment aside and lay down on the bed to meditate.
The group of people rested in Lu County for three days. They got three carts and took the loot and went back. They left the wounded to rest and have someone to deal with the aftermath. They looked at the team of more than 20 men when they came, including when they returned. There are only eleven people left in Mu Sheng. This Wanjiu does have two brushes. Looking at the mountain village, it looks like a military fortress. The casualties of the attacker are indeed quite high. If it were not for the night attack, Even if they are all dead, they may not be able to get in.
Mu Sheng rode his horse past the slow-moving carts. After looking at the carts of gold, Mu Sheng was really convinced. Is it possible to make so much money in private salt? It is equivalent to selling contraband in future generations.
The scale of Wanjiu's business should be smaller than that of Lao Guo's private salt business. It is estimated that a lot of money is paid to the protective umbrella from above every year. Getting rid of Wanjiu this time is nothing more than changing the people below. , you have to pay tribute as you paid in the past, otherwise this private salt business will definitely not be able to continue.
Anyway, this is not something Mu Sheng should be concerned about. This time he will definitely have to take the official road to carry so many things. There are inns along the official road where you can stay, which is much more comfortable than taking the small road.
This was the first time Mu Sheng had traveled far away after coming to this other world. He looked at the tall trees around him, and the green trees and birds singing and the fragrance of flowers all around him. He took a deep breath of the air, it was so fresh!
At this time, Yao Jice, who was behind, immediately stepped forward and rode alongside Mu Sheng and said, "Brother Liu, to be honest, I didn't expect that Wan Jiu could actually gather so much money. I will be very shameless in front of my brother for this operation."
Mu Sheng said, "Brother Yao, I have a question. I'm curious. Does Brother Guo have any other business besides this underworld private salt business?"
Yao Jidao said, "Yes, the eldest brother is from the Chen country. The eldest brother's private salt business is mainly concentrated in the Guandong area, Linzhang County and Dongjun. This area is just a small one. The counties and counties close to the Guan are too strict." We don’t have much chance. Our main industries here are silk and tea, and we also contract some river transportation. This is all business on the surface.”
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "That's it."
Mu Shengxin said that it was estimated that Guo Huan could become so big only with the help of the prince.
Yao Ji said, "To be honest, I, Yao, envy practitioners like Brother Liu, who come and go and are not bound by the world."
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Yao, what are you talking about? No matter how high we are, we still have to eat and sleep normally. Although we are cultivators, our desires are no less than those of ordinary people. The same is true for this rolling world." Where we practice, we can only put it down if we can pick it up. Master once said to me, if I don’t enter this world of mortals and just hide in the mountains and blindly carry out the so-called hard work and enlightenment, it is a rare path, and I have never felt this. The world is so wonderful, how can we cultivate this indestructible heart?"
Yao Ji silently muttered, "You can pick it up and put it down..."
Yao Ji bowed to Mu Sheng and said, "Brother Liu has learned a lesson."
Mu Sheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Yao, you're welcome. I'm just passing on my master's opinion. It's easier said than done. In ancient and modern times, from the nobles to the common people, there are only a handful of people who can do this. How can there be so many struggles in this world where everyone is a sage? It is difficult to get rid of inner demons, and this is the most difficult stage for me."
The two chatted along the way and returned to Liangcheng, the capital, before they knew it. It was much faster to take the official road. Pulling several large carts of supplies, everyone arrived at Qingyang City in eight days, which was faster than when they arrived. .
Finally arriving at Guo Mansion in the evening, Guo Huan heard that the two were back and hurried out to greet them.
Mu Sheng stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "Brother, I'm glad you've lived up to your destiny by going to Lu County."
Guo Huan stepped forward and held Mu Sheng's arm and said, "Brother, I have read the battle report. You have helped my eldest brother to do a big thing. My eldest brother has specially held a celebration banquet for you today to cleanse the dust for my dear brother."
Then he greeted Yao Jida and said, "Yao Ji, please take the brothers down to rest first, and we will come over to keep you company later."
Yao Jiyingnuo turned and left.
During the dinner, Yao Ji and Guo Huan took turns toasting. It was already late at night when the three of them were chatting and laughing while changing glasses. Mu Sheng drunkenly bid farewell to the Guo Mansion and returned to a courtyard specially given to him by Guo Huan. Before leaving, Guo Huan smiled mysteriously at Mu Sheng and said that he had prepared a big gift for him...
Mu Sheng staggered into the courtyard and walked to the inner courtyard. Although the other courtyard here was not as good as the Changping Lord's Mansion, it was small and well-equipped. The small courtyard of the Jingshe showed Guo Huan's sincerity.
That's right, he hired someone to help him and snatched a salt farm that had been in operation for many years. This thing is nothing compared to a salt mine that lays golden eggs.
Mu Sheng walked near the main house and took a closer look. He saw the lights in the house were brightly lit and there were shadows in the distance. It looked like someone was waiting for him inside. He staggered drunkenly into the house and suddenly raised his head to see the house. When this happened, he was stunned for a moment...
