On the sixth day of May, at midnight. While everyone was still fighting in full swing in Pufu, the two Jinyiwei relatives who were criticized by Tian Weicheng: Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian, had already called it a day and returned to the city.
The two of them didn't achieve much during this trip. As Zhuo Jing said in the previous article, in the past two days, everyone who could be considered a figure in the world has entered the city, and those who stayed outside the city were mostly speculators with no strength. In the pragmatic spirit of the Jinyiwei that no matter how thin a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian, two Qianhu with only adequate martial arts skills, led the team to clear out the martial arts soldiers.
Although these two are described by Tian Weicheng as local chickens and dogs, it also depends on who they are compared with. In fact, the two of them have the strength of ordinary second-rate martial artists in the world, and it takes little effort to deal with the low-level martial arts people at the bottom. In less than half an hour, this Jinyiwei team had already wiped out several small sects or Jianghu groups stationed in villages outside the city. Counting only the number of people, they even overfulfilled their mission.
Since the difficulty of this task is very low, there is not much credit to be gained, but Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian are still very satisfied with the affordable price/performance ratio.
"Brother Zhao, I'm tired tonight." Wang Hu said politely. Zhao Shiqian did contribute more tonight.
"Everywhere, the opponents are just rotten fish and shrimps." Zhao Shiqian proudly held the long knife at his waist: "Activating for half a night is just a warm-up."
"Hahahaha, could it be that Brother Zhao's cultivation has improved again?"
"Eh~~ I did understand a little bit of the true meaning of swordsmanship a few days ago, just a little bit."
Wang Hu is really good at flattering people: "Amazing! He deserves to be Zhao Qianhu, who "kills the capital with one sword", and a well-deserved master of swordsmanship!"
This is purely bullying Yue Kuohai and Lin He without using swords, and Tian Weicheng's presence in the Jinyi Guards is low. As long as these three people practice one and a half moves, Wang Hu will not be able to make up such nonsense.
Zhao Shiqian was not so arrogant that he believed it, but he was very useful. He immediately reciprocated the favor and responded with a new lie: "Wang Qianhu is joking. Your reputation as an "iron hand capturer" is known to everyone in the capital. Xiao."
The two started complimenting each other, but it didn't matter. Who hasn't said a few rainbow farts to their boss or colleagues against their will? Anyway, as long as Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian know their true level. It was just a pity that the Jin Yiwei who followed them were forced to listen to so much mental pollution and suffered such a crime for no reason.
This group of people all rode tall horses, and many torches were erected, so the view was not bad. By the light of the fire, Wang Hu vaguely saw a figure blocking the road ahead: "Brother Zhao, look!"
Zhao Shiqian raised his eyes and took a closer look: "No need to ask, he is definitely from Jianghu Road."
This Zhao Shiqian definitely didn't have any night vision and couldn't recognize who was coming from the other side, but he wasn't stupid. He was walking alone on the road at such a late hour without a lantern or torch. How could he be a kind person?
"That's right." Wang Hu agreed: "Everyone, be careful! Keep your eyes open and look at the roadside. It's unlikely that this person is the only one on the other side!"
"Brother Wang, think about it." Several dozen meters away, Zhao Shiqian had already pulled out the long sword from its sheath: "If this person really has no other companions, then how can he have the confidence to stand there?"
"... Confident, maybe arrogant?"
"I don't know, but to be on the safe side, let's deal with the worst-case scenario." Zhao Shiqian took the lead in getting off his horse, and called on all the Jinyi guards to do the same. The group cautiously moved forward in an encirclement formation.

It sounds unbelievable that when you are approaching someone personally, you still need to form a formation to move forward conservatively. However, it also proves that Wang and Zhao are not completely incompetent. At least this kind of stability that seems to be making a fuss out of a molehill basically eliminates the possibility of capsizing in the gutter. It is a real experience in the struggle between rivers and lakes.
When they got closer, the guards were all sure that the man standing in the dark on the road was indeed a charlatan or a gangster, because the long knife on his waist announced his identity.
Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian became more cautious. They looked at each other for a few times, and after exchanging opinions silently, the former left the group, stood about ten meters in front of the visitor and asked: "Who is coming?" ?”
The swordsman never concealed anything: "A man from the rivers and lakes."
"Hmm..." The other person was so sincere that Wang Hu didn't know how to answer it. It stands to reason that since this person has revealed his identity, the Jin Yiwei can just go up and fight. However, just by the calm and calm look of the other person, Wang Hu had a vague feeling that they might not be the opponent of this Jianghu guest. The current situation is like riding a tiger with difficulty.
Unexpectedly, seeing that Wang Hu did not respond, the mysterious swordsman continued to shake off the key information: "Stop thinking about it, I have something to do with you."
"What's the matter?"
"Easy to say," the visitor chuckled, and uttered three words: "A few moves."

It was late at night, and among the major battlefields in the capital, the first battle to come to an end was at Nanxian Jufang.
After paying the heavy price of losing all the disciples of the sect, Lu Lingyuan, the head of the Four Elephants Sect, and Tan Shang, the head of the Kongtong Sect, two powerful celebrities in the world, successfully counterattacked and killed the imperial officials who came to exterminate Wu. Master, and all the Jinyiwei and Dongchang troops who participated in this battle were completely wiped out by the two of them.
Judging from the results, the disciples of the two sects were defeated by a small number against a large number, and they perished together with the elites of the imperial court who were several times their own number. It was definitely a "no loss" record. But from the standpoint of the two leaders, it's not a pleasant feeling to be a polished commander.
Some readers may want to ask: Why are the Four Elephants Sect and the Kongtong Sect mixed together? The reason is actually very simple: of these two sects, one lost the former head Qin Cu, and the other killed the chief disciple Hu Ji. Lu Lingyuan and Tan Shang, who both want to find out the truth, have a basis for cooperation.
Although Qin Cu died at the hands of Yue Kuohai, and the person who killed Hu Ji was Chu Zongyang, there is no direct connection between the two events. However, the two of Lu and Tan, who had no idea why, took it for granted that there might be some conspiracy behind the two murders, so they jointly launched an investigation and shared intelligence and manpower.
Qin Cu's "cause of death" soon surfaced. Don't forget, "Sword God" Gu Mingkong was killed along with him by the Jinyiwei's chief and deputy envoys. People from the Xijian Sect were also inquiring about the city, and under Jinyiwei's deliberate guidance and dissemination, these two The cause of death of a martial arts master-level figure was actually twisted into an internal fight between the two.
This is indeed not true, but this rhetoric convinces many people.
In the last week, I explained that Qin Cu, the former head of the Four Elephants Sect, became possessed by practicing the Qilin Body. Generally speaking, this guy is not mentally normal; and the other protagonist of the incident, Gu Mingkong, The character of Jianghu is a martial arts fanatic who will do anything to pursue the ultimate level of swordsmanship. These two are lunatics who can start a fight with others for no legitimate reason, so this ending is not considered a violation.
It is not certain whether the people of Sixiangmen and Xijian Sect really believed these lies. However, after the latter learned the "truth", they immediately returned home with Gu Mingkong's body that they had brought back from the Yamen. They are very clear-headed and know that with their master gone, the Xijian Sect will be left without a leader.

Let alone fighting for the divine treasure, it is not even a matter of whether the sect's property can be defended. It is better to go home quickly and deal with it in a low-key manner.
But the choice of Sixiang Sect is different. After all, the real-name boss Lu Lingyuan is still alive, and the sect is very powerful, much higher than other sects. If this dispute over the divine treasure is indeed true, then the winner of the final treasure may really be the Four Elephant Sect.
The strength of the Kongtong Sect is not weak. Even if it loses Hu Ji's combat power, it still has the ability to compete with the Sixiang Sect. Lu Lingyuan regards it as its number one competitor and is determined to weaken it. Therefore, after the Sixiang Sect found out the cause of Qin Cu's death, there were strong signs of estrangement from the Kongtong Sect.
Of course, plans cannot keep up with changes, and the situation is such that all plans are in vain. Lu Lingyuan and Tan Shang, two fellow sufferers, looked sadly at the corpses of their disciples all over the ground, knowing in their hearts that if they didn't join forces, they would end up like this.
At this point, no matter how deficient their intelligence is, they can still sense that something is not right about this dispute over the divine treasure. But it was too late for them to wake up. Whether they could escape or not depended on the three hours until dawn.
As mentioned before, the Qinglong Jiao, White Tiger Hunter, and Xuanwu Yu in the Four Symbols Divine Kung Fu are all authentic foreign martial arts, which are not compatible with the Qing Gong Suzaku You. However, Lu Lingyuan's martial arts training direction is to practice hard in boxing and kicking. The physical body moved far less quickly than Tan Shang, which helplessly hindered the two of them from running away.
However, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Just as Lu and Tan were leaping towards the city gate and wall nearest to them, they happened to meet Xue Yuxin, the "Jade Smoke Sword" who returned to his residence after surveying the haunted house, picked up his luggage and left. If Lu Lingyuan wasn't good at light kung fu, these three people would have missed it.
"Huh? The person in front is the "Jade Smoke Sword" Xue Nuxia from Jianghu Dao?"
"This voice is...Senior Tan Shang of the Kongtong Sect?"
After confirming the identity of the other party, the three figures quickly gathered together. After a few words of greeting, they each began to talk about their various experiences tonight. The result of the exchange of information was that the three of them were more determined to leave the city overnight.
After hearing how the two masters escaped from death, Xue Yuxin was frightened but also very happy: if she had not suddenly left the inn where she was staying on a temporary basis, then the Jin Yiwei would definitely have visited late at night as originally planned; similarly, Lu Lingyuan He Tan Shang also lamented that the water in the capital was too deep, and even the words "hidden dragons and crouching tigers" were not enough to describe the danger here. At least through Xue Yuxin's description, both of them were sure that if the target of the mysterious master who massacred the Beggar Clan was the Sixiang Sect or the Kongtong Sect, then the fate of the two sects would not be any different from that of the Beggar Clan.
In short, the three people who met unexpectedly were quite happy. After all, one more person means more effort, and they felt more at ease. At the same time, these three people also felt that their luck was favored by God. It was not easy to escape from the dire straits of the capital city.
Compared with the Jianghu tycoons in Pufu, the Beggar Clan, the Three Young Masters of the Xiang Family, the Xijian Sect, the Cangwu Sect, and even more Jianghu guests who have lost their lives in recent days, and the Jianghu sects whose vitality has been severely damaged, Xue Yuxin, Lu Lingyuan and Tan Shang, as well as the Xue family, Sixiangmen and Kongtong sect behind them are undoubtedly the same destiny.
But their luck ended there. Because the three of them chose Tianjin as their next destination by coincidence, this means... Jietang Village on the Beijing-Tianjin Road will be a must-stop for the three of them.
It is very appropriate to borrow a classic line from Shirou Emiya in Fate Stay Night to give to the three people who made this decision:
"Hey, it's hell ahead!"
