Eternal Sword

Chapter 130 Another Trouble
The commotion here had already alerted the Changze County government.

However, the numerous yamen runners had never seen such a big scene before. They rushed into the crowd of the Black Water Gang one by one, swinging their knives and slashing them with great brutality, drawing blood with every strike of their swords.

If they stepped forward to stop them, they would probably be hacked to death by the two groups.

Many yamen runners also stretched their necks and stood in the crowd to watch the excitement.

Why would you risk your life for such a small salary every month?

Not long after, with Xiao Xun's head and body separated, the Black Water Gang dispersed and the melee gradually subsided.

"What is the name of this brave man? Thank you very much for what I just said."

Chen Tang looked at the sturdy man and bowed to express his gratitude.

If this strong man hadn't come to his aid, he might not have been able to stop Xiao Xun.

"Ha ha!"

The sturdy man laughed loudly and said, "Brother Chen Tang, you don't recognize me, but I have heard of your name a long time ago!"

Chen Tang was slightly startled.

Li Boxiong smiled but said nothing.

Li Jun smiled softly and stepped forward to introduce: "He is my third brother Li Shuhu. This time he led people to hide in the Three Thousand Snow Ridge to pick us up."

Chen Tang suddenly realized.

It seems that the Li family still has a backup plan.

If the situation turns bad, the Li family can take their people and flee Wu'an County.

Once the governor of Pingzhou started a rebellion, all parts of Pingzhou would respond and the border would be blocked.

It is extremely difficult for them to leave.

With Li Shuhu's support, the Li family can temporarily hide in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges, wait for the situation to stabilize, and then find a chance to evacuate.

Of course, Li Yan made the right bet this time.

With such merits, he not only defended Wu'an County, but also protected the eldest princess. He caught up with the new emperor who ascended the throne. There will surely be wealth and honor waiting for him in the future.

They chatted briefly for a while longer, and as they were worried about the situation in Wu'an County, they did not stay in Changze County and headed back home.

It was already past noon when we returned to Wu'an County.

There were still guards patrolling on the city wall. When they saw Chen Tang, Li Boxiong and others, they opened the city gates one after another.

After entering the city, although there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, some shops were still open as usual. It seemed that the situation in Wu'an County had been controlled by Li Yan and did not have much impact on the people in the city.

"Have you heard? A big incident happened in the city last night. The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was destroyed!"

"That's right. It is said that Marquis Wu'an started a rebellion, but was suppressed by the county governor, Lord Li!"

"Master Li is really resourceful. He endured for so many years, but with one move, he destroyed the Huo family."

"I heard that two masters showed up in the city last night."

As Chen Tang and his companions walked along the way, they heard people in the streets and alleys talking about this matter.

The house they rented had been almost completely destroyed in the battle last night. It was in such a dilapidated state that it was uninhabitable.

At Li Junqing's invitation, everyone temporarily moved into the Li Mansion.

The fat old man came back in the morning.

Chen Tang and Qing Mu went to take a look.

He and Xiao Zhengyuan fought, and both of them suffered heavy losses.

Xiao Zhengyuan was injured and retreated back to Blackwater Kingdom.

The fat old man also suffered internal injuries and was using internal energy to heal his wounds.

Chen Tang and Qing Mu did not disturb them. After leaving the room, they also found a room to rest.

I was exhausted after fighting several rounds last night.

Chen Tang lay down on the bed and began to sleep soundly.

When he woke up, it was already night.

Chen Tang pushed the door open and walked out. Meng Liangyu seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time.

"what happened?"

Chen Tang asked.

Meng Liangyu said: "A few Qinglong Guards in the front hall heard that you were back, so they came to look for you this afternoon and have been waiting in the front hall until now."

Qinglong Guard?
It should be Wei Qun and the others.

If it were Cai Tou’s temper, he would have rushed in cursing.

Chen Tang followed Meng Liangyu to the front hall, where Wei Qun, Wang Yanli, Yue Shou and nine others were there.

However, all nine of them had frowned, looked heavy-hearted, and were fidgeting.

"Brother Wei, Sister Li, why are you both here?"

Chen Tang hurried forward and asked, "What happened to Qinglong Division?"

When Wei Qun and his companions saw Chen Tang, they quickly stood up.

"Qing Long Si is fine."

Wei Qun said in a deep voice: "But Cai Tou is gone!"

"Yeah, there has been no news since last night."

"Xiao Chen, did you see that?"

The nine people were talking at once, looking anxious.

Chen Tang's heart sank, and he said, "Don't worry, everyone, tell me one by one. When Cai Tou returned to Qinglong Division last night, what happened, where did he go, and what did he say to you?"

Wei Qun said, "Last night, after Cai returned to Qinglong Division, he was still worried and wanted to complain to Master Tan. At worst, he will just quit Qinglong Division and bring us to help you."

"Then?"

Chen Tang asked.

"We have been waiting at the Weiwei Office, but Caitou never came back."

Wei Qun said: "After all, it was too late yesterday. I finally waited until the daybreak before I went to find Mr. Tan to ask for clarification."

"Master Tan said that Cai Tou left alone last night and said he wanted to help you."

"But we searched the city for a whole morning and didn't see any trace of Cai Tou. We asked many people and no one had seen him. So we thought we'd wait for you to come back and ask you if Cai Tou had gone with you." Chen Tang looked solemn and shook his head, "I haven't seen him since he left last night."

"Where did Cai Tou go?"

Wei Qun frowned.

Chi Yun seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "What do you think? Was it possible that Cai Tou was…"

"Chi Yun!"

Wei Qun shook his head and said, "Without evidence, it's not good to say such things."

“But it is indeed possible.”

Chi Yun said: "Last night, Cai Tou was very angry. He might have had a big fight with Tan Wujiu. It is possible that Tan Wujiu killed Cai Tou in anger."

"will not."

Yue Shou shook his head and said, "Lord Tan once saved Cai Tou's life and brought Cai Tou into the Qinglong Division. The relationship between them is more than just a superior-subordinate relationship."

"Even if the two of them had a big fight, Lord Tan wouldn't kill Cai Tou."

"good."

Wei Qun nodded and said, "Mr. Cai calls Mr. Tan "Old Tan" in private. No matter how much they quarrel, it won't get to the point of drawing swords."

Wang Yanli said, "But before Cai Tou left last night, he clearly told us that if he left, he would go with us! How could Cai Tou go back on his word and leave alone?"

Yue Shou said: "Maybe Cai Tou didn't want us to put ourselves in danger, so he left alone. After all, the Huo family and the Black Water Gang had the upper hand at the beginning of last night, and then the situation was reversed because of the appearance of the Grandmaster."

After discussing for a long time, there was still no result.

"There was a melee in Wu'an County last night. Could something have really happened to Caitou?"

Chi Yun suddenly asked.

"No, Cai Tou is a fifth-rank official. How many people in Wu'an County can kill him?"

"No way!"

"I want to see the body of Cai Tou. I don't believe he got into trouble until I see his body."

Everyone said one after another.

Wei Qun sighed and said, "Maybe we are worrying too much. Cai Tou is fine. We are just imagining things. Maybe in two days, he will come back unharmed."

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think?"

Wei Qun asked.

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "Logically speaking, if Cai Tou had left the Qinglong Division and been involved in the battle last night, someone should have seen him."

"Besides, with Cai Tou's temper, if he said he wanted to go with everyone, he wouldn't leave alone."

Wei Qun asked, "Do you mean that Cai Tou is still in Qinglong Division?"

"do not know."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "The last person who saw Cai Tou was Tan Wujiu. Only by interrogating him can we get some clues."

Wei Qun and his companions looked embarrassed.

It is indeed difficult to ask Tan Wujiu about this.

If you ask too many questions or use the wrong tone, it will inevitably cause Tan Wujiu to be disgusted.

Moreover, they were only Qinglong Guards, two levels lower than Tan Wujiu, so how could they be qualified to interrogate Tan Wujiu.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside the door.

The next moment, the voice stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of fighting outside Li's mansion.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

boom! boom! boom!
The newcomer seemed unstoppable. He drove straight in from outside Li's mansion and killed his way to the backyard with a terrifying momentum!

The backyard is where Qingmu and others rest!
Chen Tang's face changed, and without thinking too much, he turned and ran to the backyard.

The nine people from Wei Qun also hurriedly followed.

"He Yeqian, you look so miserable, and there are only a few people around you. It seems that your defeat is inevitable!"

At this moment, Chen Tang heard the fat old man's voice with a hint of mockery.

Pingzhou Mu, He Yeqian is here!
"So what if we lose?"

Another voice sounded, very heavy and full of pressure: "Even if I lose, I will not let that Qingshan kid have an easy time. I will take his sister with me to the Black Water Country!"

"I will offer his biological sister to the Black Water royal family, reproduce offspring for them, and make the royal bloodline of Daqian the biggest joke in the world, hahahaha!"

Qing Mu said coldly: "He Yeqian, as the governor of Pingzhou, you have received the emperor's grace, but you have rebelled. You are ungrateful and mean, and you have brought shame to the He family!"

boom! boom! boom!
Chen Tang and others looked up.

Suddenly, two figures collided with each other in mid-air, exchanged several moves, and then separated.

One of them was the fat old man.

The other one should be He Yeqian.

"You have reached the first level of cultivation?"

The fat old man looked solemn, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad!"

He Yeqian said proudly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have rashly started an army. With my ability, how could I be inferior to that young man Qingshan!"

At this moment, County Magistrate Li Yan, along with many guards, Chen Tang and several Qinglong guards, arrived here one after another from outside. After seeing Pingzhou Mu He Yeqian, they all looked solemn.

They heard clearly just now that this person is a first-class master!
The fat old man had a fierce battle with Xiao Zhengyuan and suffered internal injuries, so he was no match for He Yeqian.

Even if all the members of the Li family rushed forward, they would not be enough to kill this man.

What's more, this person is surrounded by dozens of followers.

He Yeqian was filled with murderous intent. He stared at the fat old man, slowly raised his hand, and a violent aura emanated from his body. Others could not get close to him at all, let alone attack him!

"Feng Xuyu, today I will not only take her away, but I will also kill you! If you hadn't stolen the talisman and intercepted the order, I wouldn't have been defeated so thoroughly!"
