At the first watch of the day, the escort team hurriedly and slowly arrived at Jiuyuan County. There is a somewhat large Dengfeng Inn in Jiuyuan County. The owner of the inn, Zhang Zhongkang, is a non-famous martial arts person and the chief escort of Fushun Escort Bureau.

Touji Wushuang has some friendship, so the escort team came directly to stay.

Hearing the thin bodyguard Fang Yingjun standing in front of the fight say that this escort was led by Vice President Wen, the inn owner Zhang Zhongkang came out to greet him personally. He took Wen Tianlong's right hand with a pair of big hands and shook it, "Oh, Brother Wen, this is

It’s been almost two years since I last saw you! My brother’s style is even better than before, I’m very happy to congratulate you! Please come quickly, please come in!”

While talking, he pulled Wen Tianlong inside, and let Wen Tianlong into the upper room affectionately. He made tea and water, exchanged greetings, and exchanged pleasantries. Wen Tianlong was so polite that he felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Zhongkang then ordered his waiters to entertain all the friends from the Fushun Escort Bureau. When Boss Zhang heard that the patient in one of the carriages was Tang Jiusheng, the master of the Minglong Sword, he became even more worried. He quickly rushed to the room and hugged the brocade quilt.

He ordered the waiters to cook porridge and chicken soup. He was polite and considerate, which made everyone deeply understand what it means to feel at home.

After the chicken soup was ready, Zhang Zhongkang personally brought it to Tang Jiusheng. Seeing Tang Jiusheng's groggy appearance, he comforted Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue not to worry. Tang Shaoxia became the master of the Minglong Sword at such a young age. Good people have their own destiny.

, Moreover, the two young ladies are young and beautiful, and they are both lucky, so Tang Shaoxia will definitely turn bad luck into good luck.

Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang were both shy and felt a little comforted. They chatted privately and said that boss Zhang Zhongkang was both a man and a talker. He was indeed worthy of the nickname "Sai Xiongxin".

Zhang Zhongkang quickly took out two more pills, saying that they were the "Qingxin Yulu Pills" given to him by Zen Master Jingyuan of Guiyuan Temple in Futu Mountain. Although there were only two pills, they might be of some use to Tang Shaoxia.

Shui Ruyue's eyes lit up when she heard the name of Qingxin Yulu Pills. She remembered that her master and his wife had mentioned that Zen Master Jingyuan's Qingxin Yulu Pills were best at treating internal injuries, so she hurriedly took them and thanked Zhang Zhongkang. Zhang Zhongkang left and left.

Shui Ruyue hurriedly gave the medicine to Tang Jiusheng.

Zhang Zhongkang came out of Tang Jiusheng's room and came to Wen Tianlong's room, his face looked very worried, "Brother Wen, Tang Shaoxia is very ill now, but his becoming the new Minglong Sword Master has aroused the jealousy of the Divine Sword Clan.

Now you are openly offering a reward of a thousand gold for his head. If your escort team is still taking him with you, you have to make preparations early!"

Wen Tianlong frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Brother Zhongkang, you also know that my martial arts skills are mediocre. If the trouble gets bigger this time, I can't end it with these two brushes of my brother. If it weren't for Tang Shaoxia's generous help before

, maybe I have lost my escort more than three times this time, so leaving him behind now is not what a human would do!"

Zhang Zhongkang nodded, "Now some people from the Demonic Path have rushed to Jiannan Road or are on their way to Jiannan Road. They are all ready to intercept and kill him. If you can successfully kill the new generation of Minglong Sword Master, you will really become famous overnight."

, coupled with the thousand taels of gold offered as a reward by the Divine Sword Sect, if it succeeds, it can be said to be both fame and fortune."

The two of them were talking loudly when they suddenly heard someone coughing outside the door, "Head Wen, are you asleep?"

Wen Tianlong heard that the voice was Tang Jiu Sheng's arrival, and quickly stood up and opened the door, "I am chatting with Brother Zhang. I haven't gone to bed yet. Mr. Tang, if you don't feel well, just rest in bed. Don't get up. Just give me some instructions if you have anything to do."

.”

Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue carefully helped Tang Jiusheng to Wen Tianlong's house. It turned out that Tang Jiusheng felt better after taking Qingxin Yulu Pills, so he hurried over to find Wen Tianlong.

When Wen Tianlong and Zhang Zhongkang saw that Tang Jiusheng's face was no longer as pale as before, they felt happy and quickly gave up their seats and poured tea.

The three of them took a closer look at Zhang Zhongkang. They saw that Zhang Zhongkang was wearing a royal blue tunic with gauze and a Dongpo scarf on his head. He had a Chinese character face. He was about fifty years old and had the appearance of a country squire.

, has strong muscles and bones, and is obviously an outsider.

Tang Jiusheng smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for the elixir. The Qingxin Yulu Pill is indeed well-deserved. I feel much better after taking it."

Zhang Zhongkang stood up quickly and laughed and said: "Oh, Mr. Tang, you are too polite. I just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. This medicine was given to me by Zen Master Jingyuan of Futu Mountain a few years ago. It can be beneficial to the young man's condition, so can I.

I am quite pleased. If Zen Master Jingyuan knows about it in the future, I believe he will be very happy."

Tang Jiusheng smiled and asked Wen Tianlong again, "Boss Wen, have you interrogated that Han Lao San?"

Wen Tianlong slapped his thigh and said, "Look at my memory. As soon as I was happy to see Brother Zhang, I forgot about it while chatting! Han Laosan had his acupuncture points tapped, tied up and locked up in Fang Yingjun's room.

I'll go right away

Bring him here."

Soon, Wen Tianlong and Fang Yingjun escorted Han Lao San over and entered the house. Fang Yingjun wanted to kick Han Lao San to his knees. Tang Jiusheng shook his head slightly and gave a look to stop him.

, dragged his sick body and slowly walked over to untie Han Laosan's body, and asked Ximen Yushuang to bring him a chair.

Tang Jiusheng smiled gently and said, "Yingxiong Han, don't be restrained. Please sit down."

Han Laosan shook his head and said with fear that he did not dare to sit down. "It is good enough for a defeated general not to be beheaded. How can he dare to be called a hero, let alone treat him with courtesy as the master of the Minglong Sword." In his heart.

But I thought, why don’t we just be polite first and then fight, and then drag them out and chop them up and feed them to the dogs?

Tang Jiusheng said disapprovingly, "When you are in the world, you can't help yourself. Some things can't be determined by your willingness or unwillingness. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. Sit down. Only when we sit down can we talk." Hear what Tang Jiusheng said.

After saying this, Han Laosan had the courage to sit on the chair tremblingly.

Tang Jiusheng looked at Han Laosan, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you here to kill me this time? Are you here just to offer a reward? How do you know Lu Jinqi?"

Han Lao San nodded and said: "Ma Lao Wu and I, the twelve of us are all scattered people, we got together temporarily just to offer a reward. Of course, we also want to rob this escort. But we also know our own strength.

Unfortunately, we need a strong helper. When we were studying this matter in the mountain temple, Lu Jinqi fell from the sky."

Shui Ruyue asked in surprise: "Falling from the sky? What does it mean?"

Han Laosan recalled: "At that time, Lu Jinqi suddenly jumped down from the main hall of the mountain temple and said that he could help us. In addition to killing Tang Jiusheng, the master of the Minglong Sword, he only needed to take away a girl named Shui Ruyue and other things.

He didn't want her. We just guessed that this girl was very beautiful, and when we met later, it turned out to be just as expected."

Tang Jiusheng asked curiously, "Then how did you know the details of our situation, such as how many people we have, what level of martial arts these people are at, and how did you know that I was seriously injured?"

Han Laosan said: "Lu Jinqi said that people from Qiankun Hall gave him reliable information, saying that you fought with Bai Yueting, and although Minglong Sword Soul saved your life, you were seriously injured. He also said that among you, you can now

The only one who fights is Shui Ruyue. As for Wen Tianlong and a few others, they are just about the same level as me. The twelve of us just need to cooperate with him to clean up the escort team."

Wen Tianlong burst into laughter and said: "You don't know anything about this person, so you choose to cooperate with him? What if this master kills you all after he is done? Wouldn't you lose all your money?"

Ximen Yushuang listened to Wen Tianlong's instructions to others. She was secretly amused and said in her heart, "Do you know me and Xiao Tang again? Why don't you choose to cooperate with us and ask us to escort you? If we are bad guys, your escort team

Xiao Tang has already killed them all."

Han Laosan said with a bitter face: "We couldn't refuse, because he said that if we refused to cooperate with him, he would kill us all immediately. We really didn't believe it at first, and naturally we were not convinced, so the two sides started fighting.

, he knocked all twelve of us to the ground in just one cup of tea, and we had no choice but to choose to cooperate with him."

Tang Jiusheng chuckled and said: "Lu Jinqi is very scheming. He asked twelve of you to be thugs against the escort team. He came to kill me personally. I was injured and couldn't move, and my wife and I are not as good at martial arts as him, so naturally we couldn't stop him.

After the deed is done, he will kill you and take my head to collect the reward, and he will gain both fame and wealth by himself."

Han Lao San asked doubtfully: "Before, he clearly promised that if Shui Ruyue made a move first, he would be responsible for stopping him, but when things happened, he allowed Shui Ruyue to cut off Ma Laowu's ear?"

Ximen Yushuang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's because Ma Laowu was dirty and took advantage of Sister Shui. That Lu Jinqi has always been secretly in love with Sister Shui and refused to help Ma Laowu in anger."

Tang Jiusheng joked, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, my eldest wife has the power to conquer the country. This kid, Lu Jinqi, can't help but be tempted. It shows that this kid still has some discernment." Shui Ruyue blushed and pinched Tang Jiusheng gently from the side.

.

Fang Yingjun said angrily at the side: "As long as you are not blind, who can't see that Miss Shui is so beautiful? Does he, Lu Jinqi, have vision? Fang thinks he has more vision than him, but it's a pity that we haven't grown up to be Tang Dynasty."

With the young master's outstanding appearance, of course Miss Shui will not look down on people like us."

Ximen Yushuang raised her thumbs and said with a sweet smile: "Fang Yingjun, what you said is indeed level and self-aware. This girl admires you for the first time."

Han Laosan sighed: "I didn't expect that I would

The master of Minglong Sword was seriously injured, but he easily took care of this Lu Jinqi. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, and the ancients have never deceived me!"

Shui Ruyue smiled coldly, "Lu Jinqi would only take advantage of others' danger and do very mean things. If my husband-in-law had not been injured, he would not have jumped out and died in vain. It's just that God is not as good as man. He didn't expect that my husband would do it for him."

The two daughters-in-law will fight to the death."

Tang Jiusheng looked at Han Laosan for a long time, and then said slowly: "Old Han, I don't think you are a treacherous or evil person, you are just a secret assassin, a hero with no place to play. If I let you go now, you

What’s the next step?”

,

Han Laosan sighed, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said, "Besides entering the green forest again, I really don't know where else I can go or what else I can do."

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "I will write a letter and you take it with you to Dangyang County to find the army stationed there. The captain in charge of the army is called Chong Lai. He is my brother. You can join the army and win him a wife."

It’s always a thousand times better than being a bandit.”

Han Laosan's eyes lit up, "Really? I don't have any background. Even if I join the army, they may not be able to accept me."

Tang Jiusheng chuckled, "What's so funny about this? I recommend you go, so just go with peace of mind. The army is currently short of capable people. If you go, they will be very happy when you come back."

I originally thought that he would be killed, but suddenly I heard that there was a bright future. Han Laosan was very excited and was about to kneel down and kowtow. Tang Jiusheng quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "You perform well in the army, don't do it."

Just live up to my expectations."

Zhang Zhongkang brought the Four Treasures of the Study, and Ximen Yushuang kneaded the ink by hand. Tang Jiusheng wrote an autographed letter, sealed it, and gave it to Han Laosan, who asked Fang Yingjun to take him back to his residence. Han Laosan carefully held the letter in his arms, and then

Thank you very much when I leave.

Shui Ruyue reached out and touched Tang Jiusheng's forehead, and asked softly: "Mr., are you tired? How about we go back and rest?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head and sighed, "I'll take a rest later. There are still some things that we have to discuss tonight. The Qiankun Hall must have learned about my injury from old Zamao Wan Deyan. Originally Bai Yueting's

The sword energy is not enough to cause me such serious injuries, and now I suspect there is something wrong with the wine we drank."

Shui Ruyue asked doubtfully: "Sister Ximen and I also drank, so we are fine?" Ximen Yushuang also nodded in agreement, "If there is a problem with the wine, we two should also be poisoned? It's impossible for you to be the only one who is poisoned.

.”

Tang Jiusheng smiled, "You girls are simple-minded and will not consider this step. Even Bai Yueting disdains to do tricks in wine. The only one who can do tricks is Wan Deyan, an old turtle. That medicine

It is definitely not an ordinary poison. Only those who suffer severe internal injuries and are extremely weak will activate the effect of the medicine."

Shui Ruyue suddenly realized, "I remembered that Master Niang once said that there is a colorless and odorless medicine called 'Hua Qi Powder', which is the medicine you mentioned. It will only harm the body if it has internal energy and serious internal injuries."

People work.”
