Cao Zhengchun escorted Tianchang Dan all the way to Beijing, but heavy rain made it difficult to travel on the mountain road, and more and more martial arts people gathered along the way.
Someone deliberately spread the news that they were escorting Tianchang Dan everywhere, causing unrest in the entire martial arts world.
The function of Tianchang Pill becomes more and more bizarre as it spreads more and more. It started out as a way to strengthen the body, then it was said that it can greatly increase one's internal strength, and then it has become that it can help people break through the mysterious realm. Until now, it has become
It can make people live longer and break through the realm of laws, heaven and earth.
There are also some weird rumors mixed in, some of which help people live forever and make people invincible. Of course, there are only a few believers.
But now there are more and more martial arts masters who covet the Tianchang Pill escorted by Cao Zhengchun!
Among them are several masters of the Dongxuan Realm!
Not everyone came to snatch Cao Zhengchun's Tianchang Pill, most of them were unwilling to blatantly antagonize the imperial court.
But it would be different if Tianchang Pill was snatched away from Cao Zhengchun!
That was obtained by killing gangsters. What does it have to do with the imperial court?
Helping the court to kill the bandits was not only blameless but also meritorious. As for the Tianchang Pill, it was lost during the robbery. What does it have to do with these chivalrous and righteous people?
Although people in Jianghu do not understand the law, they still have the basic logic.
Is robbing from bandits the same as robbing from the court?!
Along the way, Dongchang's team was attacked more than ten times, from cottage bandits to gangster thieves.
From stopping robberies to poisoning to confuse people, there are endless ways to use them.
If it weren't for Eunuch Cao not being close to women, he might even have used the beauty trap by now.
The director of the East Factory and the Wudang Mu Taoist can jointly escort it, even if it is a chamber pot, a group of gangsters will think it is a good treasure.
"Lord Governor, it's getting dark, why don't we rest at the inn in front of us for the night?"
The scalp of the stall was roaring to the sky, and I could feel that more and more people were following me around.
Cao Zhengchun saw that the Dongchang factory guards around him looked exhausted, and he also knew that the continuous traveling and fighting had made these people very exhausted physically and mentally.
If it were an ordinary thing, Cao Zhengchun and Mu Taoren would have brought it with them, and they would have gone ahead quickly.
The two of them join forces and can break through the encirclement even if there are experts blocking them.
However, the characteristics of this Tianchang Pill make it difficult to carry around.
Tianchang Dan not only needs to be packaged in high-quality jade bottles to isolate the turbid air of the world, but also needs to be kept in ice to maintain its temperature.
That's why it was disguised as a caravan.
Of course Cao Zhengchun can go first with the jade bottle, but there is no guarantee that the potency of the elixir in it will not be compromised.
So in desperation, Cao Zhengchun could only choose to take the black-clad arrow team to escort Tianchang Dan to Beijing.
Of course, Cao Zhengchun has already sent a message to Beijing to ask for help, but the time will definitely not come yet.
"Lord Governor, there is an inn ahead! Why not choose to rest here!"
Pi Xiaotian suggested when he saw the light from the inn in front.
When Cao Zhengchun heard the bustle of people in the inn, he couldn't help but feel suspicious, and then sneered, "There is such an inn next to the official road, and it is so lively, there must be a ghost! There is an official post fifteen miles ahead, let's go
Rest there and everyone be on alert!"
"yes!"
Cao Zhengchun also has his own considerations. Private inns are not safe, except of course the Yuelai Inn chain of Zhenwu Group.
This is like the inn on the roadside just now. The origin is unknown, there are poisons and hidden weapons, and it is hard to guard against it.
If one thing is not good, you may not be able to have a hot meal at night or have a sound sleep.
After all, Guanyi is the territory of the imperial court, so at least he can have a stable life.
People in the Jianghu still have some scruples when it comes to blatantly attacking the imperial palace.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and not only Pi Xiaotian, but also the members of the black-clad Arrow Team felt that there were people following them around.
Mu Taoist, who had closed his eyes and meditated next to the caravan carriage, also opened his eyes. Taoist people are always sensitive to Qi. This atmosphere is too wrong. The murderous intention in the air is constantly stimulating Mu Taoist.
"Speed up! Get to the inn!" Pi Xiaotian galloped towards the inn ahead.
The distance of fifteen miles is only a quarter of an hour.
After arriving at the inn, everyone in Dongchang breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally I can have a good rest!
Pi Xiaotian took the lead in entering the inn.
"Someone is coming!"
As Pi Xiaotian shouted, a man wearing the clothes of a postmaster walked out of the room.
Because Pi Xiaotian and others traveled around the world and hid their identities, they all wore black outfits.
The postmaster looked at their ferocious expressions and asked, "You... who are you? This is a post station for the imperial court, not a place for people like you in the world to cause trouble."
Pi Xiaotian frowned slightly when he heard this and signaled to his subordinates on the side.
The factory guard was ordered and immediately took out a token from his arms.
"Bind your eyes, we are from Dongchang and we are performing official duties here!"
The postmaster took the token and looked at it carefully under the light. It was indeed Dongchang's token.
"The villain meets the noble!"
Dongchang has a bad reputation, let alone a small and immature postmaster, even the local county magistrate has to give them three points.
"Come quickly, prepare meals and clean up the room."
Following the postmaster's words, three postmen in charge of night duty walked out from the back room.
Just as a few people were packing up, Cao Zhengchun and Mu Daoren entered the inn with someone carrying a large box.
When Mu Taoist just stepped into the inn, his nose twitched slightly.
"Postmaster, please prepare four upper rooms for us!"
Director Cao was as polite as ever, even to a postmaster.
The postmaster received the dignitaries who came from north to south, and he was quite good at recognizing people. He could tell at a glance that Cao Zhengchun was the leader of the group, and he immediately went to greet him, "This noble man, the room has been opened."
You are ready! These are the five large rooms on the east side, which are the best in the inn, and they are all ready."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cao Zhengchun nodded, then turned to Taoist Mu and said, "Taoist Master, please!"
The Mu Taoist was not polite. After bowing his head, he walked up to a room on the second floor.
Cao Zhengchun then asked people to carry the box into the room, and then said to Pi Xiaotian, "Follow me!"
Then two people also entered the room.
Not long after, two people dressed in black entered the inn. They were the Ouchi secret agents of Hulong Villa, Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao.
The two of them have been following secretly to prevent any sneak attacks.
After confirming that there were no ambush around them, the two entered the inn.
Under the leadership of the factory guard, the two also entered the upper room to rest.
As for ordinary factory guards, they can only live in Datongpu.
Of course, it’s not just because there are not enough rooms. Another consideration is the fear of being spread out and being scattered.
After the meal, four people were left to keep vigil, and the rest quickly entered a state of rest.
After nightfall, the station was eerily quiet, and it seemed that even the chirping of insects could not be heard.
The grass and trees shake with murderous aura, and the stars have no luster.
It seems to indicate that a war is about to happen here!
In a mountain peak three miles away from the inn, Yuan Suiyun, wearing a mask, was leading a group of people looking down at the inn.
After confirming that Cao Zhengchun and his entourage had entered the inn to rest, the subordinates on the side couldn't help but admired them, "Young master really has a clever plan. As expected, Cao Zhengchun skipped the inn we set up on the roadside and came to this inn to rest."
Yuan Suiyun listened to the flattery of his subordinates and explained, "This is people's hidden thinking. They will definitely feel that places they are familiar with are safer and easier to control. This has nothing to do with the level of people's martial arts."
"For Cao Zhengchun, his identity has been exposed at this time, and there is no point in pretending to be a caravan. The official post of the imperial court must be a safer existence for him."
At the same time, when setting up the roadside inn, Yuan Suiyun deliberately set up some loopholes for Cao Zhengchun to see.
After seeing through a trap and arriving at a place they subconsciously thought was safe, Cao Zhengchun and his party would surely relax their vigilance subconsciously.
Sure enough, the group took a rest after nightfall, and their opportunity came!
At the third watch, thunderclouds began to rise, and soon a thunderstorm poured down.
Could it be that the flashing sound of thunder and lightning and the sound of rain covered the whereabouts of the killer who was slowly approaching the inn?
In the post station, the postmaster who originally seemed to be a little shrewd in his duties also showed his true colors.
His originally kind face was filled with a cold air.
"Master, how are you doing?!" a man in a postman uniform asked.
"I drugged their food and wine, and they are probably sleeping like dead pigs now!" the postmaster said with great pride.
Dongchang is known as one of the six secret departments of the imperial court, but he is so vulnerable in his hands.
These postmen are all his disciples. They do not practice martial arts but only practice poison. They have been protected by Wuzheng Villa for generations.
"Master is really smart!" the apprentice on the side praised.
The postmaster smiled proudly and then said, "As for Cao Zhengchun and Mu Taoren upstairs, as well as Pi Xiaotian and the two spies from Hulong Villa, they have high martial arts skills, so naturally they have to be treated with good things."
"Master, could it be that you used the ancestor's cultivation..."
The postmaster smiled proudly, "It's the Seven-Star Begonia!"
The seven-star crabapple is a rare flower in the world. The poison made from the seven-star crabapple is colorless, odorless, and invisible, making it difficult to prevent.
When poisoned, there is no reaction at all, but as the warrior's true energy circulates, the poison spreads to the person's internal organs, extra meridians and eight meridians.
If you exercise your true energy at that time, the poisonous energy will attack your heart!
Their lineage spent countless efforts to successfully cultivate Seven Star Begonia, and the first time they dealt with it was two masters of the Dongxuan Realm.
If it can successfully poison Cao Zhengchun and Mu Daoren, this Seven Star Begonia may be qualified to compete for the top spot in Tianji Tower's strange poison list.
"However, we still have to be careful! Seven Star Begonia may be useful for masters in the Yuanhua Realm, but it may not be able to poison the Dongxuan Realm."
Warriors in the Dongxuan realm are nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth, and their physiques are far better than ordinary people. Although Qixing Haitang is powerful, the postmaster is not completely sure that Cao Zhengchun and Mu Daoren, two people in the Dongxuan realm, can die.
"It's better to do less than to do more. Our mission has been completed, so we don't need to worry about the rest! Those who go to the outside world to greet the young master are the ones!"
After receiving the order, the man dressed as a postman rushed out of the heavy rain and hung a red lantern under the eaves of the post station.
In the violent wind and rain, the blood-red lanterns were swaying, adding to the eerie feeling.
After seeing the lantern, the killer lurking in the distance rushed towards the inn, and the leader was Gong Ao.
"You go and kill all those people under Cao Yungou!"
It's not just Qingliu who looks down on Cao Zhengchun, the general public also looks down on Cao Zhengchun.
Director Cao is so miserable!
As for Cao Zhengchun and Mu Taoren, Gong Ao will naturally deal with them personally.
Gong Ao went up to the second floor and came to Cao Zhengchun's room. At this time, Cao Zhengchun was sitting cross-legged on the couch, constantly practicing his exercises, and sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
When Gong Ao saw Cao Zhengchun's appearance, he knew that this man had been poisoned.
"Hahaha, Cao castrated dog, do you feel the taste of this poison?!"
The previous Gong Ao was injured by Cao Zhengchun's Tiangang Boy Kung Fu, and the injury has not yet recovered. Seeing Cao Zhengchun in such a mess, he naturally wanted to ridicule him.
However, although he smiled proudly, he was still extremely cautious on the inside, and slowly walked to Cao Zhengchun's side.
Although there seems to be no change, the Shang Shui Book is already running smoothly at this moment. As long as Cao Zhengchun takes action, he will immediately fight back with all his strength.
However, Eunuch Cao did not make a sneak attack as he imagined, but kept running the technique.
When Gong Ao saw this, he was not in a hurry to kill. Instead, he walked to the box in Cao Zhengchun's room first.
Although he was employed by others, he did not know what the purpose of the things he wanted to rob was.
If it is true, as the rumors in the world say, that this thing can help people break through the realm of Dharma, Heaven, Earth, and Earth, then such treasures will naturally be kept by virtuous people!!
Just when Gong Ao was about to open the box, Cao Zhengchun, who was meditating, suddenly blasted open the wall with his palm and fled away.
Gong Ao hesitated for a moment and did not rush to pursue it. The treasure in this box was the most important!
The moment Gong Ao opened the box.
A sword light appeared out of thin air, full of murderous intent and extremely domineering.
With just one strike, Gong Ao was forced back five steps. When Gong Ao took a closer look, a man carrying a gold-backed machete was already standing next to the box.
The visitor gently patted the top of the box and said, "I want the good treasure in here, Old Liu!"
Gong Ao put his hands behind his back, "Such sword skills and such murderous intent, could it be the boss of Jizhou Green Forest, the leader of Taihang Village, 'One Sword, Two Sections' Liu Yidao is in front of him!"
The visitor was not polite, "Hahaha! If you have some discernment, it's your Grandpa Liu!"
While the two were talking, all the swordsmen from Taihang Village brought by Liu Yidao had arrived.
Taihang Village is a special place in the world.
Strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as a den of bandits, but more like a gathering place for wandering swordsmen.
Liu Yidao was a heroic man with a chivalrous spirit. He was a pig butcher when he was young and was the best pig butcher in the county.
However, at that time, a landowner's son raped a common girl, forced his parents to death, burned down his house, and then used two servants to take the blame. Even the county magistrate could not do anything about it.
Liu Yidao couldn't stand it, so he slaughtered the landlord's son like a pig on the night he took his concubine.
Liu Yidao was also wanted by the government for murder and wandered around the world. In the process of being wanted, Liu Yidao was rescued by a traveling monk.
The monk saw that Liu Yidao had a chivalrous style at a young age, so he added a box of Liu Yidao's clay dolls, a total of eighteen.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yidao found the Shaolin sect's profound internal strength, the Arhat's magical skill of subduing demons, in this clay doll.
Liu Yidao's talent is indeed quite good. Although he is not as good as the top few like Li Taibai, his talent is also extraordinary if he can break into the cave with an Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique and a sword.
Liu Yidao, who was accomplished in martial arts, gathered together the bandits in Taihang Village, beheaded all the worst offenders, used the remaining people to build a new Taihang Village, and welcomed swordsmen from all over the world to Taihang to compete.
Over time, Taihang Village became a gathering place for swordsmen.
Although Liu Yidao was extraordinary, Gong Ao was no ordinary person either.
Hearing that Liu Yidao was so arrogant in front of him, Gong Ao also lost his temper.
If I can’t deal with Cao Zhengchun and Mu Daoren, how can I not deal with you, Liu Yidao?!
You are the boss of Jizhou Green Forest and the master of Taihang Village.
But I, Gong Ao, am also the chief helmsman of the Twelve Chain Dock, so I am afraid that you will not succeed.
"Master Liu, you are yawning so loudly! You, Liu Yidao, can't take away the treasures in this box!"
"Whether you can take it away or not is not up to me, but the knife in my hand has the final say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yidao took action!
A ray of sword light that was even sharper than before was slashed out.
Liu Yidao didn't have the intention to kill with the knife he just shot, but now he did.
At the same time that Liu Yidao took action, Gong Ao also took action.
The pouring rain is the perfect location to help Gong Ao's Shui Dian. On this rainy day, the power of Gong Ao's Shui Dian is even more powerful.
The rainwater poured in through the ceiling, and under the guidance of the Shangshui Book, it turned into a water dragon and went away against the light of the sword.
There is nothing fancy about Liu Yidao's sword skills.
He believes that swordsmanship is different from swordsmanship to swordsmanship. There are those who focus on technique, those who focus on power, and those who focus on intention...
The sword technique only requires momentum. The highest sword technique in the world is one sword with two sections.
The indomitable momentum is more important than any knife skills.
So when faced with Gong Ao's water dragon, Liu Yidao would not dodge or dodge, only this one!
Under the light of the sword, the water dragon was cut into two pieces, but the water dragon did not collapse. Instead, it turned into dozens of water balls and rushed towards Liu Yidao.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Yidao remained unmoved and just slashed straight at Gong Ao.
This move is offensive but not defensive!
If neither side makes the same moves, the outcome will be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Liu Yidao was heartbroken by Gong Ao's water ball, and Gong Ao was single-handedly decapitated by Liu Yidao.
Seeing Liu Yidao, who kept coming and had no intention of defending, Gong Ao cursed in his heart a madman.
But then the figure moved and dodged from a distance.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing that Gong Ao had given up, Liu Yidao couldn't help laughing proudly, and then used his knife to chop up all the water balls that came towards him.
The sword was already in action and he had the upper hand. Liu Yidao did not give Gong Ao any chance to breathe, and struck again!
Liu Yidao's sword technique has no technique at all, it's all about the power of the sword.
The power of the broadsword was used superbly in this man's hands, forcing Gong Ao to defend rather than attack.
Downstairs, the killers led by Gong Ao and the swordsmen led by Liu Yidao also fought together.
The light and shadow of swords flashed in the dark night, and dripping blood splashed in the heavy rain.
