Lu Jin had plenty of time and didn't need to rush, so he stopped and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
This day I came to a small town. The town was not big, with less than a hundred households.
Lu Jin asked the grandfather and grandmother at the inn about the way ahead, and learned that the surrounding area was deserted for hundreds of miles, so he stayed there and waited until tomorrow morning.
The guest rooms are all adobe houses with simple conditions, so this family has no choice but to make do with them.
She didn't know that Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong had met here when they went to Yunzhou, and they stayed in a guest room for one night.
After settling down, seeing that it was still early and the small room was not suitable for practicing, Lu Jin strolled out of the town and came to a small forest outside.
Every big tree in the woods is like a giant standing there. It is most suitable to practice Lu Chuan's "Phantom Technique".
Lu Jin was getting up and running freely in the woods when she suddenly heard horses galloping on the official road. She stopped behind a tree and used the invisibility technique taught to her by Hong Ji to hide, waiting for people to pass by. Then continue practicing.
Out of curiosity, she secretly looked outside through the dense bushes.
The horse in front may have been too tired. Suddenly it stumbled and fell. The man on the horse quickly jumped into the air. After landing, he ran forward a few steps and stopped.
"Senior sister, don't force me. For the sake of my fellow disciples, I have tolerated you for a long time." The man held a scimitar in each hand and stared fiercely at the person coming from behind.
"Huh!" The people chasing behind reined in their horses and stopped.
Lu Jin couldn't help but wonder when he saw the two of them, why did they come here?
Lu Jin knew these two people. The one who fell in front was He Qiaocong, the Dark Moon Hall's Canglong Protector, and the one chasing after him was Gan Rongrong, the Dark Moon Hall's Immortal Rat Protector.
On the way back to the capital after wiping out the pirates in Yunzhou, Lu Jin saw the two of them and had some impressions.
These two are sisters from the same family. Shouldn't they meet each other and fight with weapons?
Lu Jin was surprised.
Gan Rongrong, who was chasing after him, saw He Qiaocong's ferocious look, jumped off his horse and said kindly: "Before leaving, the master asked me to temporarily handle all the affairs of Dark Moon Hall. If you don't listen to dissuasion and take on private work behind your back, our Dark Moon Hall will be harmed in the end." I hope that junior sister will deal with it carefully."
"Hmph." He Qiaocong curled his lips disdainfully: "What our Dark Moon Hall does is to kill people and sell goods. Whoever pays more money will work for him. If I don't take the initiative to take business, the huge Dark Moon Hall will eat and drink whatever it wants. Are you all going to drink the northwest wind?"
Gan Rongrong sighed and said, "I've had enough of the days of swords and swords. Since the leader is not here, why don't we try to change it?"
"You tell me, how to change?" He Qiaocong said coldly, with a condescending attitude.
Gan Rongrong said softly: "This requires us sisters to work together and work together. Although Dark Moon Hall's reputation in the world is not very good, its strength is there. If we run the escort agency, our friends in the world will eventually give us face." , there is absolutely no problem in ensuring that everyone has enough food and clothing."
"Which of you wants to do it, go ahead, I won't agree to it anyway." He Qiaocong's attitude of not being afraid of boiling water made it clear that he wanted to go against Gan Rongrong.
Gan Rongrong said helplessly: "The grievances and the debts have their owners. The hatred between the two poisonous and witch sects must be resolved by themselves. We outsiders cannot get involved. I will destroy this business you took."
"You dare, let me tell you Gan Rongrong, don't think that just because you are a senior sister, you can do whatever you want. I will report to the boss when she comes back and expose your cowardly behavior of living in an ignoble way." He Qiaocong didn't take this senior sister seriously at all.
Gan Rongrong couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and said sternly: "Will you come back with me?"
"No, I've already taken this order. What can you do to me?" He Qiaocong refused to accept the offer.
Gan Rongrong turned her hands over, and two small scimitars appeared in the palms of her left and right hands at the same time. She took two steps forward and slashed at He Qiaocong with the scimitar.
He Qiaocong did not hesitate, raised his knife to parry, and kicked the opponent's lower abdomen. Gan Rongrong twisted slightly and easily dodged.
The two of them have been in the same school for many years, and are very familiar with their own moves. No one can take advantage of each other.
During the stalemate, He Qiaocong gradually moved toward the woods. Gan Rongrong wanted to capture her alive, so he naturally followed her.
The authorities were fascinated by the onlookers, and Lu Jin could see clearly. He Qiaocong observed the position of the horse many times, presumably trying to snatch Gan Rongrong's mount.
Sure enough, He Qiaocong jumped over with a feint of his sword, and at the same time threw more than ten scimitars at Gan Rongrong.
Gan Rongrong hurriedly caught all the scimitars, and He Qiaocong had already ridden away on her horse.
The horse He Qiaocong left behind was barely rideable, but it could only pace slowly. It was absolutely impossible to chase it.
Gan Rongrong sighed helplessly and sat alone under the tree, feeling unhappy.
After a long time, she called out the Phoenix-seeking sword and played with it in her hand, saying to herself: "Brother Shengchao, are you still in the capital? Do you know that in this world, there is a woman who will not think about food for you? , I hope you will miss you, will you also think of her?"
She smiled bitterly and said faintly: "Probably not. The colorful world in the capital has probably forgotten me a long time ago. But no matter what, you will always be in my heart."
Lu Jin was amused. He had long heard that Dark Moon Hall was full of desperadoes who regarded their lives as child's play. It turned out that there were also such infatuated people.
Sitting alone until sunset, Gan Rongrong mounted the tired horse and headed back slowly.
Lu Jin returned to the guest room and ate some dry food she had brought with her. The more she thought about it while lying on the bed, the more scared she became. He Qiaocong got involved in the dispute between the poisonous and witch sects. She must be trying to assassinate someone.
The Wu Sect was upright and it was unlikely that they would hire murderers. That would be the Poison Sect hiring Dark Moon Hall to kill people.
Who are they going to kill?
Thinking of this, Lu Jin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply went outside, got on his horse and ran towards Chao Wu Sect.
After driving all night, we were tired and exhausted.
Arriving at a restaurant, Lu Jin ordered wine and meat, asked the waiters to serve the horses well, and ordered them to prepare fine feed to feed the horses.
The clerk stared at Lu Jin: "Fine feed is not cheap. Do you need to ask your adults to come over and discuss it?"
Lu Jin took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table: "Is this enough?"
"Enough, enough." The boy took the silver and left with a smile.
When Lu Jin had eaten and drank enough, he came to the stable. The man was taking good care of the horse. While the horse was eating, he used a comb to comb the horse's hair.
After resting for a while, Lu Jin got back on the road.
She didn't dare to stop, and she came to a town before sunset. Her horse was panting and could no longer run.
Lu Jin inquired and came to a place that sold horses. She added some money and exchanged it for a tall horse. She rode on it and continued on her way without stopping.
After staying up all night, Lu Jin finally arrived at Qingfeng Valley at three o'clock in the morning.
She had been to Wu Zong before. She asked everywhere but could not find the whereabouts of Baili Huan and Xiang Hongji. After asking around, she finally found out that today was the day Bailihuan had a consultation. They were at a place in the city called "Jifu Medical Clinic" Sitting for a consultation.
Lu Jin found the medical clinic. There was a long queue outside, all patients coming for consultation.
"Little girl, line up outside first. You can't go in casually inside." Someone stopped her.
Lu Jin said anxiously: "I am Brother Bailihuan's foster sister. I have something urgent to tell him. Just one sentence and I will leave after I say it. I won't delay his medical treatment."
When the man saw that Lu Jin didn't look like he was lying, he let her in.
When they arrived at the medical center, Xiang Hongji was cooking medicinal ingredients while Bailihuan was about to take someone's pulse.
The person who inquired was none other than He Qiaocong.
Lu Jin was shocked, pointed at He Qiaocong and shouted: "Brother, be careful, she is the killer of Dark Moon Hall."
Bailihuan was stunned and subconsciously withdrew his hand that was about to feel his pulse.
At the same time, He Qiaocong was about to close his pulse-taking hand, and his sharp nails scratched across Bailihuan's skin, almost cutting his skin.
The powdery medicine hidden under He Qiaocong's fingernails also spilled onto the table.
An Yuetang's assassination was never sloppy. He missed the attack and He Qiaocong threw two flying knives at Lu Jin in an attempt to escape.
Lu Jin has
He summoned his round shield to block the flying knives, and the scimitar in his hand was ready to deal with it.
In an instant, He Qiaocong changed his mind.
She threw three scimitars at Xiang Hongji who was cooking medicine, and at the same time jumped up to break out of the window through the back wall.
He Qiaocong had calculated everything, but he had underestimated the abilities of the people in the room.
The flying tiger claw in Xiang Hongji's hand had already been revealed. The flying tiger claw in her left hand stopped the scimitar. The flying tiger claw in her right hand stretched out and stabbed He Qiaocong's calf without any bias.
"ah!"
He Qiaocong's hand had touched the window paper, and he screamed and fell from the air.
Baili Huan took a few steps forward and tapped He Qiaocong's acupuncture point, making her unable to move.
Lu Jin had been traveling at night for two days and was already exhausted. Now that the danger was over, she could no longer hold on and was about to fall down as she leaned against the wall.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Hongji rushed forward and hugged her.
Lu Jin smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm just sleepy and want to sleep."
After saying that, Lu Jin fell into Xiang Hongji's arms and fell asleep.
