Among these four sects, the "Hainan sect" has the largest number of disciples, with more than 60 disciples. Yuan Zhengyi of the "Danxia sect" has brought more than 40 people, and the "Jingci Lin'an" plus Miaozhen and other six
There were only thirty people in their early thirties, but in the entire "Dinghu Sect", only Zhong Bulao and his fat dog Ah Cai came.
Perhaps as the "immortal man" said himself, the "Dinghu Sect" had no intention of acquiring the treasure, but just came to join in the fun for the sake of the friendship between the four sects.
As soon as Wu Zhengdao arrived at the inn, the leaders of the four sects gathered in the room to discuss. This time the discussion ended not long after, and then Master Miaozhen came to inform Hua Bushi that the four sects had decided to leave Longshan early tomorrow morning.
Sichuan, escort Mr. Ma Da to Nan'ao Town, and invite everyone from the "Evil Dog Gate" to accompany him.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※There is an official road to the south from Longchuan City.
Although you can still see rolling hills on both sides of the official road, it is much better than the previous trip on the rugged mountain roads in the Nanling Mountains.
The sky is clear today, the road is no longer muddy and difficult to navigate, and the silvery white snow on the distant mountains looks particularly bright under the sunshine.
This team has nearly two hundred people. In addition to more than a hundred disciples from the "Four Great Schools in Guangdong", there are also dozens of "Hu Ben Guards" under Cao Muyun and Xue Yuan.
On the way from Luyuan Gorge to Longchuan City the day before yesterday, Hua Bushi had already learned the purpose of Mr. Mu Yun's coming to Guangdong. Like him, he also wanted to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" on the South China Sea.
The place written on the invitation he held was also Nan'ao Town.
The "Wanyi Conference" invites not only the major Jianghu sects, but also many famous families in the Ming Dynasty. The Cao family's property is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Even if it is not said to be the richest in the world, few people can match it in terms of wealth.
, it is not surprising to receive an invitation.
As soon as Yuan Gongyi, the head of the "Danxia Sect" heard about this, he personally visited the county government office and strongly invited Cao Muyun to accompany him.
When Meng Wude, the previous head of the "Danxia Sect", was still alive, he was employed by the Cao Mansion in the capital with a large sum of money. Cao Muyun's swordsmanship and martial arts were passed down to Meng Wude. Therefore, Cao Muyun is said to be "
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a member of the "Danxia Sect". However, Cao Muyun rarely goes south, so he has never seen the head brother before this.
Since his senior brother invited him, Cao Muyun readily agreed. So early the next morning, everyone gathered together, left the south gate of Longchuan City, and marched along the official road.
The gathering of masters from the "Four Great Sects of Baidao in Guangdong Province", together with Xue Yuan and sixty "Hu Ben Guards", is already a powerful force. Even if the underworld men and horses attack, they have enough ability to resist. And Hua Bushi and
The people in the "Evil Dog Gate" have become insignificant.
Among the whole team, the masters and disciples of the four sects were all riding on horseback. Only Hua Bushi and Mr. Ma Da were riding in two carriages. Mr. Ma Da's carriage was driving at the front of the cavalry, and the four carriages were riding on horseback.
The leaders of the faction were all beside him, obviously very concerned about his safety, while the "Evil Dog Gate" carriage lagged behind.
Today, Hua Bushi is sitting cross-legged in the carriage of the carriage.
In order to escape for his life the day before yesterday, the carriage he was driving was abandoned in the Luyuan Grand Canyon. This carriage was rented by Meng Huan from the carriage and horse shop in Longchuan City, and Meng Huan was in the carriage again.
A few good horses were selected from the city to make up for the horses that everyone had damaged previously.
Although the newly rented car is not as comfortable as the previous special carriage, the carriage is also very spacious, more than enough for Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu and Chu Yiyi.
Looking out from the curtain of the carriage, one can see Cao Muyun, dozens of feet away in front of him, dressed in a green shirt, riding on a white dragon pony with snow-like fur. On the red horse next to him is a purple sword. Golden Ring Yi Ruoying.
Cao Muyun was born into a noble family, but he had no airs of a rich man. He walked side by side with Yi Ruoying all the way, not caring about their status. Yi Ruoying, on the other hand, kept blushing with embarrassment and looked even more delicate. Beautiful and moving.
Cao Muyun is a handsome young master, and Yi Ruoying is a beautiful woman with a picturesque appearance. The two of them are walking together, making people feel that they are a perfect match made in heaven. Although gorgeous Bu Shi's carriage was too far apart, and it was impossible to hear what the two were saying in the carriage, but from their facial expressions and the occasional laughter, it was clear that they were having a great conversation.
Hua Bushi was sitting in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the carriage with a leisurely expression, but Hai Hongzhu, who was sitting on him, had a rather gloomy expression.
As the "wife" of Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu also had some affection for Cao Muyun, but she had no objection. It was just that since marrying this young master, whenever she met an outstanding man, she would always She did not feel that she was being compared with her "husband", and the result of the comparison without exception made her despise this evil young master even more.
This may be a problem common to most wives in this world.
Although Hai Hongzhu and Hua Bushi were a couple in name only, this result still made her feel upset.
Chu Yiyi sat aside, watching Hai Hongzhu look at the young master as if he were an enemy, and couldn't help but feel amused in her heart.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and chuckled: "Miss Hongzhu, we have just left Longchuan, and we still have several days to drive to Nan'ao. The journey is long. Even if my sister begs you, please stop being so long-faced, okay?" "
Hai Hongzhu snorted and pouted but did not answer. Hua Bushi smiled and said: "Mrs. Yiyi, don't be surprised. Madam Hongzhu has such a temper. She likes to be angry for no reason."
Even if Hai Hongzhu was not angry at first, after hearing what Hua Bushi said, he would inevitably get angry and spat: "Who likes to be angry!"
Hua Bushi smiled and didn't answer.
Hai Hongzhu was even more angry, and just wanted to use the "Hai family's muscle-breaking technique" to give Hua Bushi some color, but after all, she was still quite afraid of this evil young master. Although she had this idea, she did not dare to take action seriously. , I had to puff up my cheeks and get sulky.
But at this moment, the people and horses in front suddenly stopped. Meng Huan, who was driving the car, made a "ha" sound, reined in his horse and stopped the carriage.
Chu Yiyi said: "Why did the team stop? Could it be that something happened in front?"
Meng Huan pointed his toes to the edge of the shaft, turned over and jumped onto the roof of the car. He stared at it for a while, then returned to the front of the car and said, "Tell me, Madam, there is nothing going on in front, but there seems to be a lot of people chasing behind the team." When we got here, we were still ten miles away, and we could only see some smoke and dust."
Chu Yiyi frowned and said, "There is someone chasing behind me. Could it be the underworld men and horses?"
She looked at Hua Bushi, obviously wanting to hear the young master's judgment.
Hua Bushi said: "We have just left Longchuan City. Even if the gangsters are coming, they will not be so fast. I guess it is those members of the Bai Dao sect yesterday who have not given up yet, so they followed us."
He smiled slightly and said: "If you want to know if it is true, you just have to wait a moment. Those in the small and medium-sized sects do not dare to confront the masters of the four sects head-on, so they can only follow from a distance, looking for opportunities to take advantage.
As soon as we stop, they will definitely stop too and will not dare to come near."
The facts did not go beyond Hua Bushi's expectations. The men and horses of the four factions stopped moving forward. As expected, the pursuers behind them also stopped, watching from a distance and not daring to move forward.
After a while, someone from the front team was heard shouting: "Master Wu has an order, keep moving forward!"
The stopped disciples of the four sects moved upon hearing the order, each drove their mounts, and began to move forward again.
Chu Yiyi said: "Young Master's guess is good. They really don't dare to get close. It seems they must be those guys from the side sect. However, the leader of Wu Sect is also very knowledgeable, so he must have made the same guess as Young Master."
The leader of the Wu clan she was talking about was Wu Zhengdao, the head of the "Nanhai Sect". Among the four major sects in Guangdong, the "Nanhai Sect" was the most powerful and sent the most disciples to this trip, so Wu Zhengdao also
Naturally, he became the person in charge of this operation.
Of course, if we really want to talk about strength, Cao Muyun and Xue Yuan's "Hu Ben Guards" will not be weaker than the disciples of the "Nanhai Sect", but after all, they are not on the same side as the four sects, and Cao Muyun has never thought about it.
It means to be in charge.
As for the "Evil Dog Sect" and Hua Bushi, they just follow along and have no desire to participate in the affairs of the four factions.
When Wu Zhengdao ordered his troops to stop just now, he obviously discovered the pursuers behind him and made a tentative move. Now he ordered to continue walking. He must have judged the direction of the pursuers, so there was no need to worry about them anymore.
After hearing what Chu Yiyi said, Hua Bushi did not answer. His eyes suddenly looked towards the mountains in the distance, and his expression instantly became a little solemn.
Chu Yiyi said: "What did Mr. Hua see?"
Hua Bushi said: "Have you noticed that the fog on the top of the mountain over there is a bit strange."
Chu Yiyi followed the direction of Hua Bushi's gaze and saw a faint white mist rising from the top of a mountain in the distance. The sun was shining now, and it was when the ice and snow melted. It was not surprising that there was some mist rising in the mountains and forests.
Although the fog on the mountain ridge that Hua Bushi pointed to is slightly thicker, if you don't look closely, it's not easy to find anything wrong.
However, Chu Yiyi and Meng Huan both came from the lake, and they could already see something unusual at a glance.
Meng Huan said: "The fog on the top of the mountain is not naturally formed. It looks like someone lit a fire and ignited the white smoke."
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, the white smoke that looks like mist must be man-made, and it is not released by ordinary people. If I am not wrong, then someone should use this method to send messages."
Chu Yiyi looked stern and said: "This method of using smoke to transmit messages must be done by people in the underworld. Are there people from the underworld alliance on that mountain?"
Hua Bushi said: "It's not surprising. The Chang family brothers failed to stop us the day before yesterday, and the underworld alliance will not give up. They will definitely send many scouts along the way to keep an eye on our group's whereabouts.
