The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 285: Lost Silver
"Don't!" Three buckets of lightning fell from the sky and struck the three carriages, splitting the carriages full of silver into pieces. Six boxes of silver were overturned from the carriages and fell to the ground. The horses were directly struck to death by the lightning. , Rama's Tian Cewei didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Li Tianxing never expected such a scene to happen, the heavy rain became heavier, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly, "Huh!" The wind rolled up the torrential rain, pushing Li Tianxing back abruptly.

Li Tianxing roared, raised his cultivation base with both hands and condensed the body-protecting qi beside him. With the protection of the body-protecting qi, the rainwater could no longer get close to him when it was half a foot away from his body.

Li Tianxing managed to get to the front with great difficulty against the huge resistance. All the wooden boxes were scattered on the ground, but the lids of the wooden boxes were all opened, and the rainwater poured in frantically.

Sha Wuhen noticed the strange noise from here, and turned back with his people, "My lord!"

Li Tianxing could no longer hear what Sha Wuhen said, so he just gestured to him, asking him to move all the money away, Sha Wuhen immediately understood, and also gestured to the left and right moves, and the following Tiance Wei was almost With their eyes closed, the two carried a box and walked forward. The war horse they rode let them drench in the rain, but soon because of the disturbance of the thunder, the war horse ran away without knowing where.

The two of them carried the boxes and ran for a long time, and finally reached the rows of gazebos under the Tianshi Mansion, which are used for passers-by to shelter from the rain and sun. At this time, Li Tianxing and the others could barely run here, everyone was exhausted , collapsed on the ground panting heavily.

Li Tianxing's body has been completely soaked by the rain. At this time, he is a little better, and all the people are still resting on the ground. Li Tianxing has already counted whether these are enough for eighteen boxes, "Huh!" Li Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief, eighteen boxes , One box is not more than one box is not less.

After everyone had rested, Li Tiancai ordered: "Come on, everyone get up, is a little money enough?"

Tiance and the guards pulled each other to stand up. At this time, the rain outside also stopped, and the dark clouds were still rolling, but obviously they did not have the momentum just now.

"What a coincidence!" Li Tianxing said to himself. At this moment, Sha Wuhen suddenly got up and looked in the direction of Tianshi Mansion. Dou Zhuan, a group of people came out, wearing navy blue Taoist robes, and walking quickly with high buns.

Li Tianxing and Tian Cewei were fully on alert, and Li Tianxing would never dare to be careless until he was not sure of his identity.The group of people hurried to the front, but the leader was a young handsome Taoist priest, wearing white socks on clouds, and stepping on the muddy mountain road that had just rained heavily without being stained with mud, Li Tianxing was secretly amazed in his heart, with his hair in a bun A red sandalwood Taoist hairpin with a Taiji pattern engraved on the end is inserted on the top, and the Taoist robe on her body is extremely brand new and noble.

Seeing Li Tianxing and the others, the young Taoist priest bowed and saluted, and said, "Wuliang Tianzun! Are you Tian Cewei?"

Li Tianxing said: "Yes!"

The young Taoist said in a respectful voice: "Liu Yunfeng, the chief disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, was ordered by his master to welcome you up the mountain. It rained heavily and made you drenched in the rain. I have already ordered people to prepare dry clothes on the mountain."

"Thank you very much." Li Tianxing replied.He turned around and said to all the Tiance guards: "Two people should move the money up the mountain. Tiance guards greeted each other and carried the money together. Sha Wuhen said: "Let's count it first. What Sha Wuhen was worried about was that someone would take advantage of the chaos to hide silver, because of the fall just now, it seemed that all the locks of the box had been destroyed by the lightning just now.

Li Tianxing said politely: "It's really weird that the mountains, rain, and thunder come as soon as they are said."

Liu Yunfeng replied: "This has always been like this here, I'm used to it."

Sha Wuhen suddenly shouted in panic: "My lord, come and see! What's going on?"

"What's the matter?" Li Tianxing saw Sha Wuhen so flustered for the first time, and hurried over. The box in front of Sha Wuhen had been opened, but the box was full of muddy water. Li Tianxing said, "Pour rainwater into it." Just pour it out."

Sha Wuhen shook his head and said: "No, my lord, there is no silver in it!" Saying that, Sha Wuhen directly put his hand into the muddy water, stirred it up a bit, indicating that the water was empty at all. "

Only then did Li Tianxing realize the seriousness of the situation, he didn't bother to roll up his sleeves, and groped in until he reached the bottom of the box, the water was empty.

"Why did the money disappear?" Li Tianxing felt his whole head was in a daze.

"Look at the other boxes!" Li Tianxing didn't need to say much, the other Tiance Guards had already opened their boxes and groped for each other, "My lord, there is none."

"My lord, I don't have mine either!"

"My lord, my box is empty too!"

"How could this be? I've been moving it around, and no one has moved the money."

"Damn it."

Li Tianxing checked them one by one in disbelief, and sure enough, every box was empty, and 90 taels of silver were mysteriously lost in the heavy rain just now.

"Ah!" Li Tianxing pulled out the Wind Chopper and inserted the boxes one by one. The water flowed out along the gaps. There was really nothing in the boxes.

Liu Yunfeng came over and asked, "What's the matter? Commander Li, why are you so panicked?"

Li Tianxing tried to calm down, and said: "When we crossed the river by ferry, the 90 taels of silver were still in the box, but after the heavy rain just now, all the silver in the box disappeared."

Liu Yunfeng frowned and said, "Is it the 90 taels allocated by His Majesty?"

Li Tianxing nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Yunfeng walked up to those boxes, stretched out his slender and white fingers, lightly dipped the water in the boxes, rubbed them on his fingertips, and then put them in his nose to sniff lightly.

Li Tianxing and Sha Wuhen were still thinking about what went wrong and how the money was lost. Li Tianxing took the lead in following the elimination method and looked around at the Tiance Guards. These were all his people, loyal and reliable. As for Tiancewei, who came from the local Tiancewei branch, was suspected.Wait a minute, Li Tianxing felt as if something had slipped out of his mind.

"No, there are fewer people!" Li Tianxing said.

Sha Wuhendao suddenly realized: "Where are the three boatmen? Where is the boatman who rowed across the river together just now?"

The other Tiance guards looked left and right, and it was true that the three middle-aged boatmen had disappeared, and they did not follow.

Sha Wuhen recalled carefully: "I remember that it rained heavily after we got off the boat, and the three boatmen didn't get off the boat, and we didn't notice them afterwards."

Li Tianxing said: "When I went back to meet the Tiance Guards behind me, I didn't see them anymore."
