The God of Martial Arts

Chapter 122 The Road

In a wilderness, there are mountains and rocks on both sides, and the avenue formed by artificial removal of roadblocks and weeds extends endlessly, blending with the distant sky.

The team consisting of Xiang Yang, the escorts of the Yamen, and the motorcade of the Zhou family walked slowly along the avenue.

Xiang Yang straddled a pure black horse with a water bag and dry food on one side, and a bundle on the other side. He held a knife in his left hand and a rein in his right hand. He squinted his eyes and sensed that the black horse below was walking. Compared with the horse stance I practiced on the Twelve-Road Tan Leg, I have a different understanding.

It has been a week since Xiang Yang left the county government office. He was in a hurry to go on the road every day and had no time to practice external skills. He could only practice the whole heart method internally and watch the scenery on the road.

The rest of the people, Miss Zhou's family, had a carriage to travel, and a carriage to carry everyone's gifts and belongings. Although the others traveled on two feet, they didn't think much of it because they were all young and powerful and even rough-handed.

There are not many people in the government, there are only five arrests, all of whom are old acquaintances of Xiang Yang in the Yamen. Although the escort Chen Ning is only a scholar, he is strong and healthy, with internal energy, and he does not hold back.

In general, although the team is long and full of people, the speed of progress is not slow, which also makes Xiang Yang heave a sigh of relief. If he arrives at Qingjiang Mansion as soon as possible, he will be relieved one day earlier and will not have to be this big nanny.

"Captain Xiang, it's getting late, should we find a place to start cooking?"

This time, the head of the Zhou family is a shrewd man in his 30s. He is a good hand at handling sundries along the way. He trotted a few steps to Xiang Yang's side, and looked up at Xiang Yang, who was on the tall horse, for advice.

There is no way, the master of the Zhou family told him before leaving that everything depends on Xiang Yang's will. He only has the right to make suggestions, not to make decisions, including those in the government.

"Okay, everything is arranged by you, don't ask me everything. By the way, how far are we from Qingjiang Mansion?"

"The villain has calculated that with the current foot strength, if you hurry up during the day and rest at night, you will be able to reach Qingjiang Mansion in five days. If you take the trail, it will be faster, but the safety cannot be guaranteed."

Xiang Yang nodded, waved his hand to get the man back to get ready, got off the horse, patted the dark horse's head, looked up at the slightly darkened sky, and suddenly felt a sense of homesickness.

Don’t think it’s just a week away from home, but what you see along the way is all unfamiliar scenery, and familiar people and things have disappeared. Everyone will feel a few times.

On the other hand, the head of the Zhou family arranged for people to clear an open space in the wilderness on one side of the road as a camping place, and also asked people to find water sources, light a fire and cook. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

When the sky darkened, several bonfires had already been lit, illuminating the tents surrounded by everyone. Xiang Yang gnawed on the hard steamed buns and swallowed the clear water in the water bag with difficulty. The rest of the people were no different from Xiang Yang. How many.

Under the service of two maids, Miss Zhou's family opened a small stove, and the cakes they ate were the special pastries of the chef at home, but it is understandable for girls to eat delicately.

Not long after, people who were on the road were also attracted in twos and threes. There were about a dozen people who borrowed fire from the head of the Zhou family to buy dry food, and those who wanted to find a resting place nearby.

In the wild, many times a person is afraid to sleep alone, fearing wild beasts, poisonous insects, and villains. Only when they gather together and become more popular can everyone dare to rest, or else people are social animals.

These days, Xiang Yang and the others met these people almost every night and didn't pay much attention to them, but tonight seemed a little different.

"Xiaoxiang, you may have to be more careful tonight, look at those two people, there is a big problem.

On the surface, he looked like an ordinary person, with a tired look, bloodshot eyes, and badly worn boots. He must have traveled for a long time and hadn't rested for a long time.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the two of them are full of energy, and they don't feel tired at all. They should be pretending to travel for a long time to win our sympathy.

There is also the tall man's right hand that has been hidden in the cuff. Although I can't see the clue, I can smell a bloody smell, which should be injured.

Also, you can see that these two people are calm on the surface, but they glance at the road from the corner of their eyes from time to time, I think something is wrong. "

A policeman from the county government quietly touched Xiang Yang's side, said in a low voice, and at the same time secretly looked at the east corner and talked with Zhou's guard.

Xiang Yang showed a hint of surprise, and set his sights on the two tall and one short. They were both thin and in their 30s, with a kind face, not like a villain.

However, he would not doubt the judgment of the policeman. The other party is also an old policeman who has served for more than ten years. Naturally, he is far better than the other party in terms of martial arts, but when it comes to the experience and observation of walking outside, he can't catch up with the other party even if he flatters him.

"What do you think about driving them away? You are going to escort Chen Ning, and I have to worry about Miss Zhou's safety. I really don't want to cause trouble."

Xiang Yang also noticed the difference between the two under the reminder of the county government arrester, but he couldn't see what the two had experienced in detail, but he could tell that they should have martial arts, which was different from what they said earlier. Ordinary people are different.

"This, in fact, this is the best way, but it's hard to say on the Zhou family's side. The Zhou family has been entertaining these people for a few days, and they are doing good deeds. If there is no clear evidence, if they rashly drive them away, I'm afraid it will attract people. Zhou's family and other pedestrians are dissatisfied."

Xiang Yang had no choice but to call the head of the Zhou family to his side, and asked the county government to quickly repeat what he had just said,
"Boss Zhou, your Zhou family is doing things. We outsiders dare not meddle in business. It's just a matter of safety. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to let them go."

Manager Zhou was indeed a little unhappy, but it didn't mean that they shouldn't be driven away, but that they should be driven away as soon as possible but dragged on until now.

"Don't worry, Detective Xiang, I'll take care of it right away, let them go immediately, and give them some dry food and water is the most benevolent."

Both Xiang Yang and the county government officials were thinking about it. The Zhou family is a businessman. Although they have always been kind to others and made a lot of connections, it also depends on whether it is profitable and whether it will affect themselves.

Now that Xiang Yang and the county government officer quickly said that the two had problems at the same time, they would not care about other things. Naturally, their own safety was the top priority, and everything else had to stand aside.

As Steward Zhou said, he walked towards the two of them. Xiang Yang gave the policeman beside him a wink, and the other party got up and followed Steward Zhou to prevent conflicts.

As expected, the two of them started to quarrel and stayed in the Zhou family's camp. Other people who stayed here like them also looked ugly, but the Zhou family didn't chase them away, and they didn't offer any words to help.

At this moment, Xiang Yang stood up suddenly, and saw a long snake made of torches winding along the road when he came to the avenue, there were fine but orderly footsteps, and his expression changed.

He couldn't guarantee where this group of people came from, and he didn't know if they came for those two people, but he must be more careful, after all, this is the wilderness.

Xiang Yang's actions naturally alarmed the others, and everyone got up one after another. They also saw the long snake composed of torches, cheered up, and took out their weapons to guard them.
