Zhang Rongfang was behind and noticed something strange about the two of them.
However, he prides himself on his strong martial arts skills, and even if these two people dare to cause trouble, they can suppress it forcefully.
As long as we can get to Huaxin County in the end, nothing else matters.
The group of people walked on in silence, and the sky gradually darkened.
Zhang Rongfang glanced at the sky, and it seemed like it was going to rain. The sky was overcast, with black clouds pressing overhead.
"Brothers of the Chen family, it's getting dark today. It's time to find a place to hide. Otherwise, it will rain soon and it will be troublesome." He reminded.
"Don't worry, go to the right in front of this and you will cross a slope soon." Chen Guocao responded casually.
"Okay." Zhang Rongfang nodded.
Soon, a group of people climbed another slope, but they didn't see any suitable place for a camp on either side.
"There's no way to rest in this place. Brother Chen, are you remembering it wrong?"
The man holding the prayer beads in the team asked. At this time, his physical strength was a little weak and he was a little out of breath.
"That's right, it's right around here. Let's just search separately." Chen Guocao replied with a smile.
He is already preparing to run away.
"I'm going to go and make myself comfortable first." His wife Xiao Huan looked around and walked straight towards the forest on the right, turning back to several people as he walked.
"Don't follow me."
Several people looked weird. Who would be interested in taking a peek at this tall and thick woman?
"Then let's wait for my wife first." Chen Guocao waved to several people and said loudly.
The man holding the beads wanted to speak, but he held it back, suppressing a hint of irritation on his face, and turning the beads in his hand much faster.
Among the other two, a woman found a stone, put a piece of coarse cloth on it and sat down on her own.
Another man was squatting aside, holding a dark object in his hand, which seemed to be half a big coin, and remained silent.
Zhang Rongfang thought about the possible situation of Huaxin County and Qinghe Palace now, thinking about countermeasures and plans in his mind. He was worried and rested against a tree trunk.
Not long after, a cry came from deep in the forest.
"Master, I don't have enough toilet paper. Please bring me some." Xiao Huan's voice came.
Chen Guocao groaned, lowered his head, took off the package he was carrying, opened it, and took out a pile of rough straw paper inside.
Grumpy, a few big coins accidentally rolled out of the package. One big coin is ten small copper coins, and one hundred big coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
Chen Guocao didn't care, stuffed the money back again, then put the baggage aside and hung it up on a branch of a tree.
"Can you please help me take a look at my luggage? I'll go get some paper for my wife. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to reply, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest. He kept answering as he walked.
Several people present were a little worried when they saw these two people leaving, but when they thought that they had left their packages with money here without taking them away, they would definitely come back.
I didn’t think much about it at the moment.
Zhang Rongfang didn't care either.
Not long after, Chen Guocao came back again.
In the evening, the group found a place to make a temporary fire and rest. After everyone ate some dry food, they continued on their way early the next morning.
In the morning, we had not walked far when Xiaohuan complained that her stomach felt uncomfortable and she wanted to go for a convenience.
After a while, she called her husband to help get the paper.
The package still remained where it was.
This time, after a while, the two of them came back.
We continued on our way until noon.
Then Xiao Huan wanted to be convenient again, holding her stomach and looking quite sad.
Chen Guocao was still the same as before, delivering paper to her.
This happened more than once, and everyone got used to it.
The man holding the beads seemed to have guessed something. He had a look of disgust in his eyes and looked away, too lazy to speak.
Anyway, as long as the package containing the money is left here, nothing will happen.
The four of them were waiting where they were, and no one said anything.
Zhang Rongfang took out the water bag, opened the stopper, raised his head and took a sip.
Suddenly his expression changed and he put down the water bag.
Soon, Chen Guocao and his wife walked back slowly and leisurely.
The two looked at the people present and determined that everyone was used to them going to the woods.
Next time, they planned to run away completely. As for the package left behind, it always looked heavy inside, but in fact, it only contained some stones and was covered with more than a dozen large coins.
"Okay, let's keep walking and calculate the distance. We'll make a detour and cross a canyon, and we'll be there." Chen Guocao introduced.
"When can we get to the canyon?" someone asked.
"If everything goes well, we'll be there tomorrow morning." Chen Guocao replied with a smile as he prepared to run away tonight.
Tomorrow morning? Tomorrow morning is impossible.
"Excuse me, where is this place now?" Zhang Rongfang looked around and asked aloud.
"This is Qingding Mountain. As long as we pass through that special canyon, we can..."
Bang!!
Suddenly a black shadow flashed.
Zhang Rongfang suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Chen Guocao by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Are you lying to me??!"
Qinghe Palace is located between Hongshan Mountain and Qingding Mountain. He often goes in and out of both mountains, so he is much more familiar with them than ordinary people.
But now, after walking around for so long, I can't see any trace of Qingding Mountain.
When he walked across a high slope before, he looked around and found that the mountains on all sides were not familiar at all.
If Chen Guocao had another name for the mountain, he might not be able to recognize it.
But Qingding Mountain...
Several people present were frightened by Zhang Rongfang's move.
Zhang Rongfang is now nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a tall and strong build. He can pick up Chen Guocao as easily as grabbing a handful of hay.
"Let go of my husband!!" Xiao Huan pulled out a broken thorn from the side and stabbed Zhang Rongfang's waist.
Before the half-length spike came close, she was kicked in the stomach by Zhang Rongfang.
Bang!
Xiao Huan, who is 1.8 meters tall and as strong as Zhang Rongfang, was kicked to the ground and unable to move.
"I'm the one who dared to beat my wife!!" Chen Guocao's eyes turned red, he pulled out an iron drill from his waist and thrust it into Zhang Rongfang's face.
It's a pity that he only swung the iron drill halfway and then became stiff and motionless.
A sharp dagger was pressed firmly against his neck. If he moved forward even slightly, he could cut his throat.
"Can you say something more?" Zhang Rongfang held the dagger and looked gloomy.
"Hehe...are you scaring me? Do you dare? If you kill someone, you will be beheaded. There are so many people watching here. If you have the ability, just stab him here!" Chen Guocao suddenly reacted and smiled wantonly.
stand up.
"You think I, Chen Guocao, was frightened? I'm telling you what! I've seen a lot of people like you who pretend to be blind rather than coaxing, so don't use these things..."
puff.
The sound of the blade cutting through the bones and flesh of the neck was heard.
Zhang Rongfang let go of his hand and let Chen Guocao cover his neck and sit on the ground.
"It's only natural to use money to do things. But you actually took the money and still wanted to harm me?"
Zhang Rongfang's heart was filled with anger. If the news told by Golden Wing Tower was true, then he had wasted nearly two days in vain!
There are still three days left. If you can't make it back within three days, what if something happens to master and brother!?
There are not many people he cares about, but he has always seen how much his master Zhang Xuan has done for him.
If I can't catch up now...
ah!!
The man with Buddhist beads on the side screamed, turned around and ran away.
The other two people, a man and a woman, were so frightened that they backed away and did not dare to get close to this place.
Chen Guocao's daughter-in-law, Xiao Huan, stood there trembling, looking over at her husband's neck where blood was spurting out. She looked in a daze and her face was pale.
"Where on earth is this?!" Zhang Rongfang said sharply.
"I...I don't know! We, we don't know anything about Qingding Mountain, we just want to defraud some money, and then sneak away, sneak away...!"
At the end of the sentence, Xiao Huan rushed forward and hugged her husband's body, with tears and runny nose flowing down.
"You said you don't even know the way to Huaxin!?" Zhang Rongfang was stunned.
"No...no, we don't know each other! But I can take you back! Without me here, you can't go back at all! You can't find the way!"
Xiao Huan looked at Zhang Rongfang holding a dagger and shrank all over again.
But she immediately realized something and said quickly.
At this time, the other two people who were still there heard it, and they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
These two people actually don’t know the road at all??
Bang!!
Zhang Rongfang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, so he hit a tree trunk with his palm, causing the trunk to shake and a large number of leaves to fall down.
A group of small birds overhead were startled and flew up, chirping and running away.
A group of people also shrank violently due to the vibration.
"Husband...Husband!!" Xiao Huan couldn't help crying while holding the body.
"Go back the same way you came right away!" Zhang Rongfang stepped forward and grabbed her hair.
He must rush back to Tanyang as soon as possible and find someone to lead the way to Huaxin County.
"Okay...ok..." Xiao Huan sobbed and agreed. Suddenly, she raised her right hand and a handful of white ash was about to spill out.
But her quick reaction is no match for Zhang Rongfang.
The two of them are an ordinary person and a seventh-level martial artist. The gap is too big.
Zhang Rongfang pressed his palm hard on his forearm.
Click.
Xiao Huan's forearm was pinched and then pulled in the opposite direction.
There was another sound of bones breaking.
Her entire right arm was completely dislocated and fractured.
The white powder was scattered all over the floor, but it had no effect.
"You killed my husband, I will fight with you!!" Xiao Huan screamed, grabbed the iron drill with her other hand and stabbed Zhang Rongfang in the stomach.
As soon as I started holding the iron drill, I heard a click.
Her head was turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and her whole body suddenly became motionless.
With a pop, Xiao Huan fell next to her husband's body, her body twitching and gradually losing her breath.
Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath.
These two liars caused him to waste two days in vain. In the end, they dared to have evil intentions. As expected, they were both evil people and deserved to die.
He didn't look at the body again. The key now was what to do next!
It takes three days to travel from Tanyang to Huaxin.
If he took the official road, he might be able to ask for directions along the way.
But now that the official road is blocked, you can only take the small roads. No one knows the small roads...
He looked around and saw that the two people who were there just now were already running away in a panic in the direction they came from.
Zhang Rongfang didn't care either.
Anyway, when he went out this time, his face was also treated.
If any colleagues looked at his appearance at this time, they probably wouldn't recognize him at all.
At this time, Zhang Rongfang's eyebrows were thicker, he had two more dark circles under his eyes, his cheeks were slightly darkened, and there was a small red birthmark on his chin.
Look at the two long legs that are now much thicker. This figure that is usually hidden by robes has finally achieved a good camouflage effect.
In fact, he doesn't know how to put on makeup at all, but he can still mess with things on his face.
