Chapter 226

There are no empty seats in the restaurant.The two red-faced men were talking there, talking about the "dead convoy" they met that night.

One of them, a burly bald man, was eloquent.

"You know what?"

"We have some friendship with Mr. Dao. The house we live in now was built by Mr. Dao's help."

"Master Dao asked us to talk to the car team that disturbed everyone's drowsiness, we can't pretend we didn't hear it!"

"On that night, we have dozens of men to surround the convoy!"

"Except for us, the rest are people under Master Dao's hands, and they are all tough men with blood flowing like water!"

"But guess what?"

"After I really saw the convoy, except for us and Lord Dao, none of the pants were dry!"

"..."

Yu Chen turned his head and heard the bald man's tone, it seemed that he was the only one who saw the dead man's caravan that night.

So Yu Chen turned around, picked up his wine glass, and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, which street do you think the motorcade appeared on? And when?"

This bald man was also a bold man, and he was not annoyed when he was interrupted by Yu Chen, he said bluntly, "It's on Hongya Street in the south of the city, and the time...it should be midnight."

Then, the bald man raised his glass to touch Yu Chen, and reminded: "Brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I advise you not to be so unnecessary curious——I just took a look, tsk tsk... ...That scene... Anyway, we couldn't eat any meat for two days after we came back."

Yu Chen thanked him, put the money for food and drinks on the table, got up and left.

——Although in this world, people and ghosts have different paths, and the two do not meet each other. Even if there are ghosts barking their teeth and claws in front of you, you can't see a little bit.

But probably because Jiangzhou was previously sprinkled with yellow spring water, Guhe County, which is close to Jiangzhou, was probably also affected by the yin and death aura, allowing those ghosts to be seen by living people.

And if what the bald man said was true, then they must have encountered something unclean.

According to what he said, the dead man's convoy probably also had a wish to come true.

Anyway, Yu Chen originally planned to rest in Guhe County for a night, and simply took the time to see what was going on with the Nether convoy.

If you really have the wish of the dead, then you can do me a favor and receive a reward, which is very appropriate.

Walking along the streets of Guhe, Yu Chen came to Hongya Street in the south of the city, stayed in an inn, and waited for the dark.

in the inn.

The stone sits cross-legged, the blood in the body is surging, the muscles are surging, and the precious light is dense under the skin, hidden and hidden, deep inside.

——It has been more than two months since Yu Chen taught him the Dharma.

It can only be said that the stone is worthy of being extremely talented in this body training, and now it has been "quenched" to perfection, the bones are like trusses, the skin is like gold and iron, and the flesh and blood are on fire, crackling and burning, bursting out with a sense of terrifying power.

The completion of "quenching" is equivalent to the completion of "opening the sea" in the way of refining qi.

But Yu Chen, who watched the stone walking all the way, preliminarily reckoned that this big guy could already fight with the spirit practitioners in the spiritual realm without losing the wind.

——Only because of his terrifying physical defense power, the supernatural powers and spells of ordinary Qi refiners with low-level spirituality may not be able to do anything to him.

"Master, is there something on my face?" Shitou opened his eyes and smiled innocently.

"No." Yu Chen shook his head and asked instead: "Shitou, you have accomplished something in your practice now, if you continue to follow me in the future, I'm afraid you will have to fight with others—if that happens, you Do you think you can go down and kill people?"

Although the stone was frighteningly strong, Yu Chen knew that apart from beating people from the Fuding Chamber of Commerce that night, this big guy hadn't even fought anyone else.

——This body shape, this guy, even when he didn't start training, it's not something ordinary people can bear, and this is why his father has been restraining him before.

Shitou scratched his head, and simply said: "I don't know, I haven't killed before, but I can learn!"

Yu Chen nodded and said no more.

It was getting dark quickly.

Yu Chen took the stone and ate at the inn, then waited in the shed.

He deliberately asked for a room next to the street, on the second floor, and he could have a panoramic view of Hongya Street in the south of the city by opening the window.

The Hongya Street in the south of the city is wider than other streets and alleys in Guhe County. There is no other reason, but because the gate to the south of the city corresponds to the official road leading to the capital. If all caravans coming from that direction want to enter Chengdu has to pass through Hongya Street.

So it is natural to make it wider.

In the middle of the night, there is a cool breeze.

The streets and alleys are almost asleep.

This Qingzhou is already barren, and Guhe County is even more barren. Naturally, it does not have the night scenery like Jinling.

Coupled with the incident of the "dead convoy" earlier, the people nearby were panicked, so naturally they turned off the lights and went to sleep early.

It's midnight, the second watch.

In the bustling Hongya Street during the day, everything is completely silent.

Rumble!
A spring thunder exploded!
The pattering spring rain is dripping down.

Accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the bluestone road.

Da da da!Da da da!
The slightly hurried sound of horseshoes sounded out of thin air.

Yu Chen raised his brows, and knew that the so-called dead man's convoy was coming!
He pushed open the window, jumped down with the stone, and landed on the ground.

From a distance, I can see the direction of entering the city, and the lights are coming in the rain.

When you get close, take a look!
Hey!
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as that bald man said!
A team of chariots and horses, about twenty people, three carriages, full of goods, came slowly.

It's just that these several horses have broken hooves, broken stomachs, and broken arrows stuck in their foreheads.

Bai Sensen's bone stubble walked on the bluestone ground, the sound was clear and crisp.

And let's get on the carriage, there are about twenty men with the same appearance.

The whole body is bloody, full of arrows, arms and legs are missing, some even have their heads gone, their stomachs have been cut open, and there are messy red and greasy things drooping inside, which is very horrifying!
Logically speaking, with such an injury, he should have died [-] times long ago.

But they didn't notice it themselves, and drove on their own way, talking to each other from time to time.

At the same time, in Yu Chen's hands, the Life Saving Scripture kept buzzing.

Obviously felt the last wish of the deceased.

Yu Chen stood in front of the car, took out the scriptures of saving people, let the golden light shine brightly, and took all the cars and horses to the bank of Huangquan River.

In the vast mist, the Yellow Spring is rolling and roaring.

The team of chariots and horses still didn't notice, just kept moving forward, as if they would never stop.

Beside them, Yu Chen frowned.

Scenes of revolving lanterns flashed in front of my eyes.

Let's talk about these more than 20 men, the leader is called Lang Qing, the Kaihai Consummation Qi Refiner, and they are from the capital.

And the remaining [-] or so people are not simple characters, there are five open sea practitioners, and the rest are also innate masters.

——Aside from other things, this lineup is enough to level Guhe County, which has only one Qishi who opened the sea.

So here comes the question, what kind of cargo is being escorted by such a luxurious lineup?
And why such a tragic death.

Yu Chen continued to look, and saw the answer from the following revolving lantern.

This matter has nothing to do with Guhe, or even Qingzhou. If we really want to trace the source, we have to go to the capital at the foot of Tianzi!
The current emperor has twelve heirs.

Among them are eight princes, three princesses, and one concubine.

And these years, the crown prince has not been established, and the several princes naturally have their own thoughts.

Everyone fought back and forth, fighting openly and secretly, each showing their special abilities. In the end, two princes stood out, who looked the most like princes.

One is the First Prince Zhou Yu, and the other is the Seventh Prince Zhou Xiu.

As for the other princes, they either became kings early and went to fiefdoms to live a happy life; or they died in some "accident" for no apparent reason.

Anyway, only Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiu are left, who are in full swing to win over the princes of the court, expand their power, and compete for the throne.

And with the passage of time, the fame and ability of the Seventh Prince Zhou Xiu has steadily overwhelmed his eldest brother, and he has become the most promising candidate for the crown prince.

But just when everyone was full of confidence in the Seventh Highness Zhou Xiu, hey, guess what?

--sick!
His Royal Highness Zhou Xiu was ill a few months ago. It is said that there was a heart problem. Once he was a little tired, he would convulse all over and foam at the mouth. He had to eat a lot of expensive medicinal soup every day. continue life.

Such an accident naturally made him no chance to compete for the throne.

——You are foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over when you are a little tired, so you can still be the emperor?

It was probably because he knew that he had no hope of winning the heir, so he asked for a reward at will, and was named King Rende, and went to Youzhou, a barren state east of Qingzhou, to be the prince of Xiaoyao.

It is said that His Majesty originally planned to reward him with the prosperous Quzhou which is close to the capital as a fiefdom, but for some reason, His Majesty the Seventh Prince fell in love with the remote Youzhou, and he would not leave when he went there.

But even though he left, his illness was not cured, and only the capital had the medicinal materials to cure his illness.

So every two months, people have to send a batch of medicinal materials from the capital to Youzhou to save their lives.

Lang Qing of this dead man's convoy is Zhou Xiu's subordinate, and the medicinal materials of this convoy are the life-saving medicine of His Royal Highness Seventh King Rende!

It's a pity that when Lang Qing and a group of loyal men were transporting medicinal materials through Qingzhou this time, they were attacked by unknown persons dozens of miles outside Guhe County. The entire army was wiped out and all the medicinal materials were taken away.

——If this is ordinary goods, it will be gone if it is gone.

But Lang Qing and those subordinates all know that this is His Highness's life-saving medicine!

How could he be robbed like this?

Don't die with peace in your eyes, leave behind your unfulfilled wishes!

Even if he died, he was still unwilling and unconvinced, and wanted to deliver the life-saving medicine to His Highness!

Thus, under such obsession, the entire team of chariots and horses turned into ghosts, apparently dead without knowing it, thinking that they were transporting life-saving medicinal materials for His Highness.

This is how the "Ghost Caravan" that people in Furukawa love to talk about happened.

In addition, Yu Chen also got a piece of information in the revolving lantern.

His Royal Highness Zhou Xiu was one of the Three Great Xia Mountains back then, the favorite student of the dean of Shushan Jixia Academy.

Disciple of Daxia Wensheng!
