The group of people stepped out of the gate and mounted their horses and galloped away. Three days later they arrived at their first destination, Nansha County. The helmsman, Liu Weiqi, had already led his people to wait at the gate of the house.

"Brother Qin, long time no see, you are even more handsome than before!" Liu Weiqi raised his hand to Qin Luo and laughed.

"Master Liu has given you too much praise, but you really remain as charming as ever."

"Hey! Who is this little brother?" Liu Weiqi looked at Tang Ning next to Qin Luo and asked in confusion.

"Master Liu, let me introduce to you. This is the new disciple of the gang leader, Junior Brother Tang Ning."

"Oh, it turns out to be little brother Tang. I'm sorry for Liu's blindness. In previous years, I was out for business and couldn't attend the grand party, so we don't know each other. Come on, come on. Brothers, you have worked hard together. Liu has prepared the food and wine. It's getting late.

, let’s go to the mansion to have a rest first.”

Everyone followed him to the house and had a big meal. Liu Weiqi and a few people around him frequently persuaded him to drink. Qin Luo was a good drinker, so naturally he would not refuse anyone who came. The others were also drunk, even Tang Ning.

No exception.

After drinking too much, he went to the side room and fell asleep. He had never had a good sleep in the past few days. In addition to the fatigue of traveling and riding, more importantly, he was not used to being alone.

In the past, I hugged Liu Ruhan's soft body and fell asleep every day, but suddenly I was alone. I always felt that something was missing, so I tossed and turned every night and couldn't fall asleep.

After drinking a lot today, I fell asleep quickly.

On the second day, everyone came to the meeting hall and sat down one by one according to order. Liu Weiqi and Qin Luo were chatting. After a while, two people came outside the door holding a stack of ledgers.

Liu Weiqi signaled to them, and the two placed two stacks of ledgers in front of Qin Luo.

"Brother Qin, these are this year's accounts. Let me take you to the horse ranch to have a look!"

Qin Luo nodded, and the group followed Liu Weiqi all the way to the horse ranch, leaving only three people there to check the accounts.

The entire horse ranch covers an area of ​​several hundred acres and raises 1,300 horses of various types.

Liu Weiqi introduced the situation here one by one, including how many horses were produced this year, how many were sold, and how many new breed horses were imported. By the time everyone went back, the sun was setting again.

After dinner, the group came to Qin Luo's house.

"How is it?" Qin Luo asked.

"The accounts are generally correct. There are only some minor issues. I asked a few people and they all said they didn't know." One person answered.

"what is the problem?"

"There are five fine jade snow horses missing. The account of the three hundred white horses is 3,000 taels, but the lowest market price of such horses is 120 taels. The difference is 600 taels, and there are still accounts

Thirty clear horses were purchased at a price of three hundred taels, but only twenty were actually purchased. In addition, there were about 1,600 taels of silver that the accounts did not match."

Qin Luo nodded: "Okay, let's stop here! We will leave for Xihe County tomorrow."

The next day, Qin Luo and everyone bid farewell to Liu Weiping, and Liu Weiping walked all the way out of the house. When leaving, the two boys gave each of them a bag of silver. Tang Ning saw that the others accepted it, so he accepted it too.

"Senior Brother Qin, what should we do with the accounts that are not reconciled?" Tang Ning rode a white horse alongside Qin Luo and asked.

"Report the truth after returning to the gang."

"What will the gang do? Punish them?"

Qin Luo smiled: "No."

"Why? The accounts don't match up, which means they committed fraud. Why aren't they held accountable?" Tangning asked in confusion.

"You will understand later."

Tangning paused: "What about the money they gave us privately? Do you want to report it to the gang?"

Qin Luo glanced at him: "No need, don't worry! This kind of thing is an open secret, everyone knows it, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, no one will care about that little money."

"Oh, Senior Brother Qin, I have one more thing to ask you."

"What's up?"

"The accounts don't match up, why don't you ask him for details?"

"No need to ask him, you will gradually understand this kind of thing later."

"Be careful." Before Tang Ning could ask again, Qin Luo suddenly shouted.

Before he finished speaking, dozens of arrows shot out from all directions.

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. Fortunately, these people were all veteran warriors and had experienced battles for a long time. They reacted quickly and drew their swords one after another.

Tangning drew out his sword and swung it several times in succession, blocking several incoming arrows. The situation in front of him left him no time to think too much and he just reacted instinctively.

"Ah! Ah!" Two screams came from behind, followed closely by the neighing cry of a horse.

Tang Ning looked back and saw that the two people behind her had been hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Their complexions quickly changed from dark to pitch black, with a look of death on their faces.

"The arrows are poisonous." Seeing this, a man's face changed drastically and he shouted. In the panic, more than ten people were killed in the nearby weeds, wearing black clothes and wearing black masks.

"Let's go." Qin Luo shouted, turning around on his horse

"Stop leaving." A loud shout came from above. Tangning raised her head and saw a man leaping up and down, slashing towards him with the sound of howling wind, and the sharp sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

It turned out that these people had been hiding on the branches early in the morning. The tree was tall and the branches were dense, so you couldn't notice them unless you looked carefully.

It seems that it was specifically aimed at people like herself, Tang Ning thought to herself, turning her body slightly to avoid the sword.

The man didn't expect that Tang Ning could dodge the blow so easily. He was slightly shocked. He paused with his sword and slashed horizontally. Suddenly, a cold feeling came to him, penetrating into his heart. The strength in his body seemed to be wiped out in an instant.

Hollow out.

A long sword penetrated his chest at an unknown moment. It was such a fast sword. The man looked at the long sword on his chest with a look of shock, and then lost consciousness.

Tang Ning pulled the sword out of the man's body, jumped off the horse, and slashed at the man with lightning speed with the sharp sword in his hand.

With a flash of sword light, Tang Ning and the man passed each other, and before he could stop, he slashed towards the second man. The man was about to turn around and pursue Tang Ning, but found a hole in his abdomen and blood spurting out.

Tang Ning killed three people in a row, and the people in black around them were horrified and looked away.

The Meteor Sword Technique is an excellent sword technique that is known for its speed, and its sword power is as erratic as a meteor.

Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles. This is the last line of the Meteor Sword Manual.

Tang Ning took this opportunity to turn around and stab the person who was entangled with Qin Luo. He had just noticed that this person had the highest martial arts among these people and should be the leader of the group.

Qin Luo was retreating steadily under his offensive, completely at a disadvantage.

Tang Ning moved very quickly and was behind him in a few breaths, stabbing his vest with the bright sword.

Bang. The man leaned slightly, and the two fingers of his right hand were clamped on the tip of the sword. There was a sound of metal colliding.

Tang Ning was shocked. The sharp sword in her hand was caught between his two fingers and she couldn't move at all.

Click, click, and the sound of breaking was heard from the tip of the sword. In desperation, Tang Ning concentrated her entire body's energy on her arm, and instantly released it through the sword's body.

The tip of the sword cracked, and the man in black suddenly retracted his right hand, only to see a blood hole running through his palm.

"Sword Qi." The man in black's eyes narrowed, and he struck Tang Ning with his left hand.

Tang Ning faced him with one of her palms. Between the two palms, a huge force came from him. His body flew out involuntarily and fell hard to the ground. His internal organs surged. His vision went black and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Got out.

"You don't overestimate your capabilities." The man in black snorted coldly and retracted his palm.

"Be careful."

The man in black turned around and saw three silver-white round things flying towards him. Without thinking, he quickly backed away.

There was a loud "boom" and dust flew all over the sky.

Tang Ning felt someone pulling her, and then her body lightened up, and she was already on the horse.

"Are you going to chase me?" A man in black asked as he watched Tang Ning and her group galloping away on horseback.

"Forget it." The leading man waved his hand: "The goal has been achieved. Don't chase the poor criminals. Clean this place quickly and don't leave any evidence."

He glanced at his left leg that was left bloody and bloody, and snorted coldly: "Thunder in the Palm, I didn't expect them to carry such a thing, I guess they are lucky."

"Who was that kid just now? Why was it not mentioned at all in the intelligence?"

"I do not know either."

"It's amazing that you can use sword energy at such a young age."

Everyone rushed all the way back to the helm. When Liu Weiqi saw this, he was shocked. After briefly understanding the situation, he personally led the troops to the place where everyone was attacked.

When Tang Ning woke up, Qin Luo and others were there, discussing something. When he saw him waking up, Qin Luo walked forward and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Tang Ning nodded. He had fainted before on horseback. When he woke up, his head still felt dizzy and his body felt uncomfortable, but it was indeed much better than before.

Seeing that it was already dark outside the window, Tang Ning knew that she had been unconscious for at least several hours: "Senior Brother Qin, where are you?"

"This is the sub-rudder, don't worry! It's okay. You have a good rest. Captain Liu has sent someone to report to the gang. We will stay here for the past few days and wait for orders from the gang before deciding on the next move."

Tang Ning glanced at everyone, and they all had angry expressions on their faces.

There were sixteen people when we set out, but now there were only seven left including myself.

"Senior Brother Qin, do you know who ambushed us?"

Qin Luo shook his head: "It's not clear yet."

"Could it be Master Liu?"
