Li Qingmei held the whip in her hand and stared at the obese man in front of her with an unhappy expression. She retracted the whip and pulled it twice, then let it fall naturally to the ground.
Zhu Feilong felt the heat and pain coming from his face, stretched out his hand and touched it, and couldn't help but groan in pain, but he didn't care about the pain at this time. He could sense that the woman in front of him was very powerful, and he was far from it.
The opponent may lose his life if he continues to stay here. He turned his eyes slightly and quickly took out a packet of poisonous powder from his waist and sprinkled it towards them.
Watching the purple powder coming towards her, Li Qingmei quickly pulled a few people back: "Be careful, it's poisonous!"
The five people soon reached an open area, only to see Zhu Feilong fleeing quickly.
Li Qingmei wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Tang Ji: "This place should not be far from the county seat of Liu County. Let's act a little more conservatively to avoid being targeted."
After saying that, he took out the detoxification pill he had obtained from Fisherman Sun from his sleeve and distributed it to the three of them: "Although I didn't inhale the poisonous powder, just in case, take some detoxification pills!"
Immediately, the four of them swallowed a pill one after another.
Li Qingmei glanced at them twice, then turned back to lead the horse.
Wu Jun pursed his lips, and after some hesitation, he asked Tang Ji softly: "Sir, can you give me one of the pills? I feel like I have inhaled some poisonous powder."
Tang Ji turned to look at each other. This guy's eyes were so good. They were hiding so secretly, but they could still find him. However, he remembered that this kid had dragged them down just now, and he suddenly showed an exaggerated expression: "Ah? I got it, then.
It’s hopeless. This elixir of mine can only prevent, not cure. If the toxicity is not strong, you might be able to live for two more days. Brother, I’d better give you what you need to explain, and live a good life for two days!”
Hearing this, Wu Jun also became nervous and said anxiously: "Brother, I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I still don't want to die. Please save me. You can give me as much money as you want!"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Tang Ji sneered, took out a pill and threw it to the other party, and then ordered: "Old Cheng, dispose of the bodies of these people and leave no traces."
"Okay!" Cheng Tie agreed and immediately took action.
Not long after, Wu Tao came over with the maids and threw herself into Wu Jun's arms: "Brother!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Isn't it okay?" Wu Jun quickly comforted her, and was about to order his servants to pack up the carriage, but found that there was no one behind him, and touched her awkwardly.
He turned his head and pushed Wu Tao away from his arms: "Girl, you wait here for a while, and I will go get the carriage."
Wu Tao nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put his hands back to his abdomen, and stayed in place obediently. However, he found that Hua Yuan'er on the side was staring at him. Out of politeness, he turned around and gave a salute: "Thank you very much.
The public rescues each other."
"Ah? Oh, it's okay." Hua Yuan'er giggled twice and then waved her hand.
Tang Ji also noticed his gaze and followed it with a glance at Wu Tao. This girl was not tall. She had two braids that looked like twists. She had peach blossom eyes and a small mouth. She could reveal her two faces with just a smile.
With a small dimple, he sneered and bumped Hua Yuan'er's shoulder: "What? You like cute girls?"
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er was a little flustered, her eyes widened, and she lowered her voice and replied: "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, I say seeing is believing." Tang Ji raised his eyebrows and replied.
Hua Yuan'er was too lazy to argue with him anymore, glanced at Wu Tao again, and then looked away.
A moment later, after Cheng Tie had disposed of the body, Tang Ji took the three of them and remounted their horses: "Let's go. If we continue to delay, we may not be able to arrive tonight."
Just when he was about to leave, he was suddenly blocked by Wu Jun.
"Sir, oh no, benefactor, where are you going?"
After hearing what the other party said, Tang Ji calmly asked: "Where do we go and what does it have to do with you?"
Wu Jun licked his lips twice, then took out two large silver ingots from his arms and handed them over: "Sir, we are going back to Liu County, but the accompanying guards are all dead. We are worried that the same thing will happen again, so I want to invite
Several benefactors can escort us for a while. You can take these silver coins first. When we get to Liu County, I will thank you very much."
Tang Ji concentrated for a moment and began to think.
Seeing that there was a discussion, Wu Jun quickly added: "Sir, Liu County is in the northwest. It's not far away. It only takes half a day's journey. It shouldn't delay your business."
After another small meeting, Tang Ji finally nodded slightly: "Okay, to be honest, we are also going to Liu County, so I will take you with me, and give the money to Lao Cheng."
He has no reason not to accept the money that comes to his door.
Wu Jun raised the corner of his mouth and nodded sharply. After handing the silver to Cheng Tie, he quickly asked Wu Tao and others to get into the carriage, while he sat in the coachman's seat and drove the carriage.
...
Half an hour later, on a certain official road in the south of Liu County.
"Benefactors, you are going to Liu County to join in the fun at the Jianghu Conference, right?" Outside the carriage, Wu Jun carefully held the horse's rope and asked Tang Ji next to him with a smile.
Tang Ji just learned about each other's identities. The brother and sister were the young master and the young lady from a wealthy family in Liu County. They came out to visit relatives in Shuozhou, but were robbed on the way. Combined with the tone of their conversation, the analysis was
, it shouldn’t be fake, so I wasn’t suspicious, nodded and replied: “Yeah.”
Immediately, he continued to ask: "Can you tell me who organized this Jianghu Conference?"
Wu Jun nodded, and then sighed: "My dear friend, to be honest, this Jianghu Conference was organized by the Chen family in the city. The Chen family, my Wu family, and the Zhang family are the three strongest forces in the city. Who knows that in half a year,
Not long ago, Chen Song, the head of the Chen family, went crazy and suddenly destroyed the Zhang family. After devouring the Zhang family's property, he directly pointed the finger at the Wu family. Now, my old Wu family can only survive. Alas
, after this Jianghu Conference, the reputation of the Chen family will probably spread all over the world, and it will be famous all over the world. At that time, who else in the city will dare to compete with them. After I go back, I still advise my father to leave Liu County as soon as possible and change places.
Let’s make a comeback!”
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji frowned slightly.
He did not believe that a small family in an ordinary small county could suddenly defeat its opponent and have the ability to spread the news of holding a Jianghu Conference to the whole world. There must be an ambitious person behind this.
Fortunately, it was still early, so he could enter the city and explore slowly before making countermeasures.
Tang Ji quickly retracted his gaze and turned to Wu Jun: "By the way, have you seen the people who attacked you today before?"
"No." Wu Jun replied without hesitation, controlled the direction of the carriage, and added: "But this is not the first time. Last month, I went out with my team to deliver goods, and I just left Liushui County.
I was robbed, but those people didn’t kill me last time.”
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded his head twice. From this point of view, it seems that the Chen family is probably disgusting the Wu family. So if he steps in today, maybe...
He glanced at Wu Jun unconsciously, then withdrew his gaze, frowning slightly, and his brain started working rapidly.
...
Half a day later, with the sun setting, Tang Ji, led by Wu Jun, finally arrived at Liuxian County. He drove in from the south city gate and finally stopped outside a mansion in the northeast corner of the city.
When the two guards guarding the door saw Wu Jun, one turned around and went into the courtyard to report, while the other quickly came up to him. He noticed that something was not right with the former and immediately asked: "Master, you have become like this."
?Also, why are there only four guards and they are dressed like this?"
"What are you talking about?" Wu Jun slapped the other party on the head. After pulling Wu Tao off the carriage, he looked at Tang Ji with a smile: "My dear friend, please come inside."
Seeing that the young master looked embarrassed and called the man in front of him his benefactor, the guard immediately realized what was going on and turned around and ran towards the house.
Tang Ji nodded calmly, raised his eyes to look at the luxurious mansion in front of him, and walked towards the gate.
But he had just taken a few steps and before he crossed the threshold of the door, a middle-aged man in a brown coat rushed out: "Jun'er, are you okay?"
