In Bingzhou Yaqian Mansion, several fast horses were galloping under the urging of their owners' whips.
"Drive~" "Drive~" "Drink~" "Drive~"...
The sound of horse hooves is galloping endlessly, and the rider on the horse is highly skilled. Under such road conditions, his own body control helps the horse avoid some potential dangers, so that the traveling speed never slows down.
The roads in many places were very muddy, and the splashes of muddy water and filth made every rider covered in mud.
The leading rider was wearing a turban, carrying a long knife, holding the reins with one hand, and his other sleeve was empty.
"Right in front, everyone, let's work harder and never let them escape again!"
"Hahaha... Sure enough, we were right to change the horses in the last market town. Their horses can no longer hold up."
Looking from a distance at the group of people galloping forward on the road, one of the riders behind laughed happily, and everyone in the group also agreed.
When the riders in the front noticed the approach of the pursuers, they also wanted to fly away immediately.
"Damn, this group of people is really endless! Drive~"
"Drive~" "Drive~"...
This group of people was obviously much larger than the people behind them. There were more than twenty people, all wearing gray cloth clothing, while the people behind them were only seven or eight people, but the momentum of the two sides was completely different.
More than a quarter of an hour later, it was obvious that the horses in front could no longer hold on any longer, and their speed dropped significantly.
Du Heng squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said to his companions.
"Brother Wang, let's go and stop them."
"good!"
The conversation between the two was concise, and so were their movements. After speaking, they each clapped their horses on the back and jumped into the air. They stepped on the horse's back and jumped forward at a speed that exceeded the horse's running speed. They used Qing Kung to accelerate again, and directly left One person passed around the front and fell in front of them.
Du Heng and Wang Ke, one with a long sword and the other with a broad-backed sword, each unsheathed them in the air.
"Zheng..." "Zheng..."
Brush~swipe~
The light of the knife flashed before his eyes, blocking the way of the crowd.
"Pfft..." "Dang..."
One of the two people at the front was knocked off his horse, and the horse also fell down. The other swung his sword to block Wang Ke's knife.
Because the horses in front and the people who fell off the horses tripped several horses, the shouts of the riders and the neighing of the horses were intertwined, and the fleeing team finally stopped.
Du Heng and Wang Ke stood at the front of the road, and not long after, six other companions blocked the back of the road, sandwiching more than 20 people in the middle.
Wang Ke was originally from Yaqian Mansion, and now he is the chief arrester of Futai. This time he was chasing these scum of Yanland, but he could not succeed in many battles, and even lost several government officers, until he met Du Heng and his people. With the help of more experts, we finally blocked this group of slippery people.
The man who had just blocked Wang Ke's attack with his sword pointed at Du Heng and said hatefully.
"Du Heng, you walked on your Yangguan Road, and I walked on my single-plank bridge. We have no grievances, but you led people to hunt me down for a month. This is unbearable!"
Du Heng smiled and Wang Ke on the same side looked at each other.
"I didn't let you endure it!"
Wang Ke also laughed.
"It's not like you want to escape on your own. If you were really brave, you would have fought us to the death long ago. Why, you have the courage to commit adultery and plunder, but you don't have the courage to accept death calmly?"
Du Heng shook his head.
"Brother Wang, you have forgotten that the more this kind of person is, the more he will bully the weak and fear the strong. He will be extremely vicious when he encounters those who can be bullied, and he will grease his feet when he encounters the invincible."
The Jiang Hu Ke who was riding behind had also dismounted, and the master responded.
"What Du Daxia said is absolutely true. As long as these people still have a crotch, they will not see us and will only run away. But today is the time to put an end to it!"
Someone among the six people over there had already taken off the wine bottle from his waist, took a sip and passed it to the person next to him.
Li Tongzhou stretched his muscles, looked at the more than 20 people who were still on the horse and said loudly.
"Zhao Datong, if you commit suicide, we can promise to help your family escape vendetta, and the same goes for you!"
The people on horseback looked at Du Heng and Wang Ke in front, then at Li Tongzhou and the other six people behind, and sneered repeatedly.
"Humph, I, Zhao Datong, have no family for a long time, and you and we are life and death enemies. You just lied to me and other brothers to commit suicide by telling a few lies? Just dream of your dreams!"
"Yes, it's a dream!" "At worst, if you fight hard, you can always kill a few!"
"Yes!" "Fight them!"
…
Li Tongzhou shook his head and sneered, while Du Heng also raised his head with an indifferent expression.
"Zhao Datong, we are different from you. We will not make verbal promises and turn around in an instant, nor will we bully good and fear evil. We have also gained some reputation in the world over the years. When do we keep our words? Brother Li's words are ours. Let’s think about it, everyone.”
The man on horseback had a gloomy expression. After a moment, he finally didn't dare. He roared and jumped up with a knife. Naturally, the brothers around him followed suit and rushed towards Du Heng and Wang Ke, who were even smaller in number.
For a moment, two groups of people were killed in one place, with swords, swords, shadows and fists clashing. Screams and shouts resounded through the forest road. There were even more people fighting and retreating into the forest. The battle line was stretched into several pieces.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
"boom… "
Li Tongzhou knocked the last strong man away with one palm, and he hit the tree trunk and fell to the ground. The enemies around him were either dead or also fell to the ground and lost the ability to resist.
Although there is a big difference in the number of people, the martial arts is much better than the eight people on Du Heng's side.
Li Tongzhou clapped his hands and walked to Du Heng. He saw the latter shaking the long knife, shaking off the blood on the knife and returning it to its sheath.
"Brother Du, Mr. Wang, none of them escaped this time, they are all here. Bandits are really easy to appear in this Yan land, but their methods are mediocre."
Li Tongzhou has been following Du Heng. He and Du Heng had even dealt with ghosts back then, so there was no pressure to deal with these ordinary villains.
"The people they harmed didn't think so..."
As Wang Ke spoke, he kicked the unconscious man next to him and continued.
"Zhao Datong, I know you are pretending to be unconscious. You were unwilling to commit suicide just now. Haha, I have already met the prefect before. When I take you back to Yaqian Mansion, you will be executed by Lingchi."
The man on the ground moved and was about to explode, but Wang Ke kicked him lightly on the neck and knocked him unconscious. Li Tongzhou next to him squatted down and connected the big points on the opponent's body.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
A burst of sudden applause came, causing Du Heng and others to raise their heads and tense up their bodies.
On a tree in the forest, there was actually a man in a green shirt sitting on the branch of the tree applauding, but neither the eight of them nor Zhao Datong and others had noticed that there was someone else nearby.
"Who are you, and are you related to Zhao Datong? If not, please explain it clearly to avoid misunderstanding."
Wang Ke asked loudly and put his hand on the handle of the knife on his back.
Lu Shanjun's applause stopped and he looked at Du Heng and Wang Ke not far away with a smile, and his tone was obviously more cheerful.
"Hahahahaha... Not bad, very good, Wang Ke is very good, and Du Heng, I really didn't expect that you lost an arm, but you are really brave and diligent, and you have become a real hero."
Personally speaking, these words are quite offensive, but in Lu Shanjun's mouth, there is a strange feeling of sincerity, especially in the ears of the two parties involved, Du Heng and Wang Ke.
Du Heng replied lightly.
"That's ridiculous, please identify yourself."
Lu Shanjun was obviously in a very good mood. Seeing Wang Ke and Du Heng was a recognition that the people he had released had truly benefited the world.
He jumped down from the tree branch and landed gently on the ground. He silently brought up a gust of breeze, sweeping the fallen leaves around him outward.
Lu Shanjun said with a smile as he raised his hands and saluted in the direction of Du Heng and Wang Ke.
"You two, we are old acquaintances. I am in Xialushanjun, my hometown is Niokuishan, Jizhou. I came here specifically to see you today. I am very relieved to see how you are doing!"
Jizhou Niokuishan, Lushanjun
After Du Heng and Wang Ke were stunned for a moment, countless images flashed through their minds almost instantly, and they were fixed on the tiger saluting outside the mountain temple, and their backs suddenly felt hot.
"Hey, hey, what are you two afraid of? As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I, Mr. Lu Shan, have always kept promises, and I also admire people who keep promises, especially those who promise me and keep their promises. You two ask your questions. No shame, what’s there to be afraid of? Hahahahaha…”
Lu Shanjun said a series of words, and then smiled and put away the gift. Only then did Wang Ke and Du Heng realize that they should return the gift. One cupped his fists and bowed, while the other bowed.
"I've seen a tiger!"
"Wang Captou, Brother Du, this? Do you know him?"
"Yes, who is this person?"
Li Tongzhou and several companions around him also asked curiously. Judging from the current situation, they should be friends rather than enemies. Why do they feel that Du Heng and Wang Ke are so nervous.
At the same time, Lu Shanjun seemed to have thought of something. After looking at the clouds above his head, he opened his mouth and blew out a puff of light smoke, turning into a gradually clearer figure in front of him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's also one of the nine. Look at him. He's taller than you. Aren't you ashamed?"
The figure looked at Wang Ke and Du Heng with complicated expressions, and then bowed to Lu Shanjun.
"It's shameful to say that you are a tiger."
"Huh, I don't know if you are really ashamed or fake, but it's too late whether you are real or fake."
"yes!"
The scene where the figure appeared obviously caught everyone present off guard. Everyone thought of something supernatural, and Wang Ke and Du Heng were even more horrified.
The figure that appeared in front of him vaguely resembled that of Lan Nink. He looked like he was probably dead.
"By the way, Master Du, Mr. Wang, Mr. Lu wants to ask you something. What is Zhao Long's current situation? Mr. Lu can't count him. If you know anything, please tell me. It's okay if you don't want to say anything."
Knowing that this was a scary tiger demon, but always polite, the tension in Du Heng and Wang Ke's hearts eased a lot. The former hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"A few years ago, Du heard that Brother Zhao had already become a monk and practiced in Luming Zen Monastery."
"Ah? Have you become a monk?"
