At this moment, Chu Peng picked up the water bowl in front of him and took a sip, then muttered with a sad face: "But speaking of it, I have encountered a lot of strange things recently. I met a dead man a few days ago. Not only did he die today,
He lost his mount and almost lost his life, alas..."
"Dead person?!" Ruotao and Tian Lin were slightly shocked when they heard each other's words. Guan Heng then asked: "Brother Chu, what is the dead person you are talking about? Can you tell us about it?"
"Okay, it just so happens that I have been holding this matter in my heart for several days. I always feel uneasy and uneasy. I just want to talk to someone about it." After Chu Peng said this, he told Guan Heng and others about his time in the desert a few days ago.
Something happened in the countryside.
As a traveling trader traveling between different villages and towns, Chu Peng often passed by dense forests that were inaccessible to people, but this time, he encountered something unusual. He actually found a dying man next to the depression.
He was an old man with a white beard. Although he was old, he had a tall body and strong muscles. He was still holding a half-broken long blade in his hand. He looked like a very powerful man at first glance.
Seeing that the other party was dying, Chu Peng felt compassion for him, so he extended a helping hand to rescue him. However, the old man was injured too seriously and eventually died. However, the old man regained consciousness for a while before he died.
And entrusted his burden to Chu Peng.
Before he died, the old man Bai gave many instructions and asked Chu Peng to deliver the "locked copper box" inside the baggage to the Cabinet Mountain Witch Tribe and hand it over to the chief "Ke Jin" there, and said that the other party would definitely reward him with generous gifts.
Chu Peng didn't pay much attention to the heavy gift the old man said, but it was the old man's last wish anyway, and Chu Peng also planned to sell a batch of goods to the villages near Tushan, so he decided to send the baggage to the Wu tribe in Keshan.
go.
"...This happened just three days ago. After burying the old man, I came to Huiyang Town."
Chu Peng told the whole story in one breath. He was not a completely ignorant fool, so he suddenly said: "Brother Guan, could it be said that the trouble I encountered today is related to the dead old man and his baggage?"
"I don't know the specific things." Guan Heng touched his chin and said, "But I can think of a way to test the people who are spying in secret."
Speaking of this, Guan Heng suddenly said: "Brother Chu, where is that baggage?"
"Here." Chu Peng took out the baggage from his side, shook his head slightly and said, "Oh, now that I think about it, if I am really in danger because of this thing, it would really be a hot potato."
Guan Heng smiled slightly: "Hey, if you want to know whether the guys outside are here because of this thing, you have to borrow this furoshiki first."
Reaching out to take the other party's baggage, Guan Heng returned the locked copper box inside to Chu Peng. He randomly wrapped some things in the baggage and threw it to Ruotao: "Here, take this thing and walk around the area.
As long as someone follows you secretly, it proves that they are here for the copper box in the baggage."
"Good idea." Everyone present secretly praised Guan Heng's wit, so Ruotao picked up the baggage and walked out of the restaurant, and walked in again after a while as if nothing had happened.
"There are three groups of people staring at me from behind." Ruotao said after sitting next to Guan Heng: "They were afraid that I would notice, so they didn't get too close, but I still noticed them."
"Uh?! It turns out someone is really targeting me, ah no, it's this box!"
After Chu Peng said this, he was so frightened that he threw the copper box on the table. Now he looked at this thing and felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this scene, Guan Heng secretly shook his head: "This honest man Chu Peng was frightened.
It's not a big deal, he originally had good intentions and wanted to fulfill the deceased's last wish, but he didn't expect that he would be killed."
"Hoo, ho..." At this moment, Chu Peng was breathing rapidly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead frequently. He murmured to himself: "Otherwise, I will throw away this baggage and copper box. If that is the case, then
You guys, it’s time to let me go, right?”
"That's not necessarily true." Shang Tianlin suddenly said: "The other party has poked a poisonous needle on the horse's back today and is preparing to kill you. This means that they have plans to silence you. Even if you throw away the baggage now, they may not be willing to do so.
Let you go."
"Oh, who did I offend?" Chu Peng covered his head with pain on his face. Guan Heng and the other three couldn't bear to see this scene.
After looking at each other, Guan Heng said: "Brother Chu, if you can trust me, I will send the copper box to Cabinet Mountain. In this way, you can stay out of it. In addition, you will stay with us tonight."
In one place, I will let my companions protect you, and then I will deal with those who are following you."
Hearing this, Chu Peng was of course happy, but he asked again: "Will this...will affect you all?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small trouble. It's already commonplace for us." Tian Lin said with a smile: "That's it, when Brother Agou wakes up, I will let him live in the same room with you. Brother Agou is
Black Qi Tyrant, with him here, you will definitely be able to sit back and relax tonight."
"Black... Qi Tyrant?!" When Chu Peng heard this, his head was buzzing, and he thought dizzy: "Oh my god, what kind of people did I meet today?
Giant tigers, monster birds, and even a black energy tyrant?"
…
A short while later, everyone returned to their residence and found Agou who had woken up. The Jian-billed Mountain Reel was also beside him. When Guan Heng explained the matter, Agou slightly gnawed: "Okay, I will be responsible for protecting this person tonight.
Brother Chu, no one will dare to come here and act arrogantly."
"Then I'm relieved." Guan Heng opened the window and waved outside. The snake-like bird immediately flapped its wings and landed on his arm in an instant.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..." The snake-like bird pecked out sixteen small holes on the table in one go. After seeing it, Guan Heng smiled slightly: "I understand, there are about sixteen people secretly peeping nearby. They
It seems that they are unwilling to do anything blatantly in the town, which is in line with the killer's style. So after dusk today, let's find a way to lure the other party to a remote place and deal with them."
Ruotao and Tianlin said in unison: "Okay."
…
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye it will be dusk more than half an hour later.
Suddenly, Guan Heng, Ruotao, and Tian Lin walked out of the door of the accommodation, and walked quickly away with the Ghost Swallowing Tiger. Those who mostly observed in the dark could clearly see that it was Chu Guan Heng who was carrying
Peng's green cloth baggage.
"Leader, what should we do now?"
The killer leader who was hiding in the dark snorted when he heard his subordinates asking, "The businessman named Chu didn't follow me. Let's divide four people into searching the place where the other party lives and kill the one named Chu by the way." (
