In the early morning, the end of Luoshui River was covered with clouds and fog, and hundreds of boats, large and small, coming from various places were floating on the water.

The surrounding shores are crowded with people, and in many open areas, you can see Jianghu people competing on the spot, with onlookers cheering nearby. On the central road leading to Longmen Pass, there are also many Jianghu people walking around, and there are even many stalls selling various products.

A hawker who grows stuff.

Yu Huatian walked out of the cabin and looked at the scene in front of him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed:

"There are so many people joining in the fun."

Ding Xiu was chewing a bun in his mouth, carrying a slender Miao knife on his shoulder, and looking at the surrounding scene with a lazy look on his face, not caring about the people around him.

Zhao Tong carried a double-headed spear on his back and scanned the surroundings. Then he seemed to have discovered something. He walked to Yuhuatian and whispered: "Lord Governor, our people are watching."

Yu Huatian nodded slightly. His perception was extremely sharp at the moment. Just now, he noticed a few figures on the shore. After seeing him emerging from the boat, they had already quietly left. They should have gone to Longmen Pass to report the news.

"Let's go."

Yuhuatian didn't pay attention to the people around him. In his eyes, these people who dared to join in the fun would almost all end up dead as long as they dared to go out to the desert. There was no need to care.

What he really cares about are those first-rate forces who also covet the treasure.

Instructing the boatman to stop the boat and dock, the three of them got off the merchant ship and walked straight to the road ahead.

But just after taking two steps, Yuhuatian suddenly stopped, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Governor, we are being targeted."

Zhao Tong whispered, and he also noticed that when they got off the boat, there were many people from all walks of life around them, looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Yuhuatian nodded slightly and said: "Don't scare the snake."

With that said, he walked straight to a roadside vendor selling candied fruits, picked up two candied fruits, and asked casually: "Boss, how many Jianghu people have come here recently?"

The vendor quickly stood up and said, "Sir, do you need to buy candied fruits?"

Yuhuatian said calmly: "You sell preserves here every day, but do you know who has come recently?"

The vendor looked enthusiastic: "Sir, the candied fruit is very sweet."

Yu Huatian twitched the corner of his mouth, put down the candied fruits, threw a piece of silver to the vendor, and said: "I bought all your candied fruits, don't talk nonsense, let me ask you something, and take us to Longmen Pass by the way, let's talk as we go."

The peddler picked up the silver with a look of 'surprise' on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Sir, it's whatever you say, so let's just... walk?"

"Let's go."

After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk forward. He didn't want any of the vendors' stalls anymore, and immediately followed him with a flattering look on his face.

That ingot of silver is enough to buy several stalls like his.

…

As Yu Huatian and others left, some people in the surrounding arena immediately started talking in low voices:

"A young man in a white robe, handsome in appearance, accompanied by a green-faced gunman and a pony-tailed swordsman. These three people should be the ones who killed the 'Lone Wanderer' Tian Boguang and Huashan Disciple Linghu Chong a few days ago, right?"

"It should be them. I didn't expect to come here. Could it be that they are also here for the treasure?"

"You're so fucking stupid, why didn't you come here just for the treasure?"

"I don't know where these people came from. Even people from the Huashan Sect would dare to kill them."

"Hey! I don't know how many first-class forces have come here in the past few days. What does the Huashan Sect mean?"

"That's right, the disciple was killed, and Yue Buqun didn't even dare to fart. This Huashan sect is becoming more and more in decline..."

…

Maybe the treasure incident has been too big recently, and too many people have come here. Even on the shore of Luoshui, an industrial chain has been formed.

Many merchants and vendors seized the business opportunity, built some straw huts in the surrounding areas and started doing business, selling various snacks and fruits, teahouses, pubs and restaurants, and even horse sellers.

This place was still dozens of miles away from Longmen Pass, so Yu Huatian and others did not skimp on their money. They bought a few horses and rode to Longmen Pass.

The candied fruit vendor also drove a donkey cart and got on the donkey cart. The flattery on his face disappeared instantly. He drove close to Yuhuatian and whispered: "Supervisor."

Yuhuatian said calmly: "I'm being targeted, what's going on?"

This hawker was originally a spy from Xichang. During this period, he had been pretending to be a hawker and was inquiring about information at the Luoshui River. Naturally, he knew the matter very well. Hearing this, he explained in a low voice:

"The governor recently killed the 'Lone Wanderer' Tian Boguang and Huashan disciple Linghu Chong. This incident caused quite a stir in the world, and many people have been discussing it recently."

Yuhuatian understood immediately. He thought his identity was exposed, but it turned out to be because of Linghu Chong's incident, so there was no need to worry about it.

"Aren't our people all at Longmen Pass?"

Yuhuatian asked.

"Both the first stall owner and the third stall owner are here, and the six thousand households of Jinyiwei are also secretly mobilizing manpower to get out of seclusion."

"Xueyong is here too?"

Yu Huatian was a little surprised. The third gear leader Ji Xueyong has been out on missions, and he has not been seen for some days.

"The third gear was closed at Longmen half a month ago." The vendor whispered.

Yuhuatian nodded, without asking any more questions, and immediately sped up and rushed to Longmen Pass.

The treasure should be born in these few days. The most important thing at the moment is to find out who is coming and make arrangements in advance.

…

Longmen Pass is one of the eight major passes of the Ming Dynasty. It is an important passage to the outside of the Great Wall. At the same time, like Jiayu Pass in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it was built to resist the foreign tribes in the north.

It's just that there is endless desert outside Longmen Pass, and very few foreigners have settled there. Therefore, foreigners rarely invade the Ming Dynasty from Longmen Pass.

However, just in case, Ming Dynasty troops were stationed here all year round, and in order to prevent the generals of Longmen Pass from overestimating themselves, the emperor would also send Jin Yiwei to monitor the area secretly.

Now Jinyiwei is basically controlled by Yuhuatian, so this is also considered the territory of Xichang.

An hour later, Yu Huatian and others arrived at the city closest to Longmen Pass - Longmen City.

The area near Longmen City is called Longmen, and Longmen City is the main city in the Longmen area.

Although it is located on the border, it is still extremely prosperous.

Entering the city, various vendors and footmen peddle their goods along the street, and many vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street to make a living. Occasionally, you can see a few people dressed as warriors with knives and swords.

In order to avoid hurting anyone, Yuhuatian and others led their horses into the city. While looking at the scene in the city, Yuhuatian asked: "Where are our people?"

The hawker whispered: "In order to hide their whereabouts, the stalls and the others have not contacted the government. They have been staying at Jinfeng Tower for the past few days, which is the largest inn in Longmen City. Most of the people from the world who came during this time have stayed there.

There."

Yuhuatian nodded and said: "You should go back first and continue to stare at Luoshui to see how many Jianghu people are coming."

"yes."

After the hawker finished speaking, he immediately drove away and left. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he was really just leading the way for Yu Huatian and others, without revealing any flaws.

Yuhuatian and the other three found someone to ask about the direction of Jinfeng Tower, and then rushed straight to Jinfeng Tower.

But just after taking two steps, Yu Huatian suddenly felt a killing intent. He paused and turned his head to look behind him. People were rushing on the street, but he still locked eyes with one of them, who was wearing a black robe and holding a long sword.

The silhouette of a sword.

Zhao Tong and Zhao Tong also followed Yu Huatian's gaze and thought for a moment. Zhao Tong's eyes changed and he said: "Supervisor, this person has followed us!"

Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly. He could follow him all the way. He had a hunch that this person probably didn't come here for Linghu Chong and others' business. He should have already recognized his identity.

The swordsman in black seems to be quite strong. He knows his identity and still has a grudge against him. Who could he be?

Yu Huatian's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Let's go, don't worry about him. Since he knows my identity, he will come to me sooner or later."

"yes."

Zhao Tong nodded, and then the three of them sped up and quickly disappeared into the crowd, heading towards Jinfeng Tower.

And just as Yu Huatian and the others left, the black-clothed swordsman who had turned his back to the three of them slowly turned around, revealing a handsome and heroic face, and a pair of slender eyes, staring at Yu Huatian and the others.

In the direction the person was leaving, murderous intent was raging in his eyes.

"Xichang Yuhuatian, what a keen sense!"

"However, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, if so many martial arts masters come here this time, you will definitely die without a burial place!"

"Zhao Huaian, I will avenge you..."

As the black-clothed swordsman spoke, he took out a bamboo flute in his arms and took a look at it. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly turned around and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

No one knew that he was the one who spread the news about the birth of Dabaishang’s national treasure. His purpose was to lure Yuhuatian out and avenge Zhao Huaian!

…

Jinfeng Tower is an inn that combines a restaurant and a hotel. It is located on the most prosperous Central Street in Longmen City. Almost all the people who come and go are dignitaries or businessmen who spend a lot of money. They are all owners who are not short of money.

But these days, the people living here are some people from the world who are attracted by the treasure. Although these people are not necessarily rich, most of them want to save face. When they come to Longmen City, even if they want to show their identity, they will endure the pain.

Live in this Jinfeng Tower to prove that you are no worse than others.

As soon as Yuhuatian and the other two arrived at the entrance of Jinfeng Building, they were discovered by Xichang spies who were watching from outside, and they were immediately taken upstairs.

It was noon at this time, and there were many people from the world sitting in the restaurant downstairs, drinking and chatting. As soon as they walked in, they attracted a lot of attention, wanting to see which heroes from the world were here.
