Eternal Sword

Chapter 472: Concealing the truth
"Who to protect?"

The young escort leader asked.

"I."

The man pointed at himself.

The young escort leader chuckled and said, "The Tianma Escort Agency doesn't accept any escort. If you are guaranteeing someone, you must clearly state your identity. Don't guarantee a bandit from the Xuantian Sect and get yourself into trouble."

The man didn't say anything, but just slightly lifted his hat, revealing a young and pale face.

The young escort leader took a look and was suddenly shocked!
"It's you……"

The young escort leader had just opened his mouth when he realized that this was not the place to talk, so he hurried forward, grabbed the man's arm, and dragged him into the escort agency.

"Captain Du, please take a look around to see if there are any secret agents."

The young escort leader gave some instructions, looked around, and closed the door of the escort agency when he was sure no one noticed.

Hu Biaotou looked suspicious and asked, "Young Biaotou, do you recognize him?"

The young escort leader looked a little excited and nodded, "He is the top of the Fengyun list, Yijian Shuanghan, Chen Tang!"

"what!"

Head Biao Hu exclaimed and looked Chen Tang up and down.

This young man is indeed a hot figure in the world recently.

Biaotou Hu asked, "You have internal injuries, and you still dare to come back?"

Chen Tang smiled and said nothing.

He was hit by a palm strike from the grey-robed man. Although he had the dragon inner armor, the palm force was so strong that he still suffered internal injuries. In addition, he had to withstand the sword and knife of the third-grade warrior, so his injuries were even more serious.

He managed to escape from the city by chance, relying on his strong physical strength and long breathing to temporarily get rid of the pursuers, but it was not a long-term solution.

In addition to these imperial guards' pursuers, Chen Tang was also worried about another person.

The Tianyin who escaped with injuries!
Once this person's injuries are almost recovered, they may attack him at any time.

This person is the biggest threat!

Even so, Chen Tang was still worried about Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li, so he took the risk to turn back.

The Jiaolong Bow was too conspicuous, so he buried the weapon outside the city, wrapped the Qiu Shui Sword with a piece of black cloth, put on a bamboo hat, and then climbed over the wall into the city when the guards were patrolling.

In the restaurant, he finally put his worries to rest when he heard that the two were rescued by Su Muzhe and Yan Shu.

Chen Tang originally wanted to find a safe place to repair his internal injuries.

Only in this way will it be possible to cope with subsequent crises.

But just now, when he saw three people from the Tianma Escort Agency in the restaurant, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a way. Perhaps he could use the cover of the Tianma Escort Agency to escape from here!

The young leader of the Tianma Escort Agency seemed to have no animosity towards him and had even stood up to defend him in the restaurant.

However, Chen Tang did not expect that this young escort leader was not only not hostile to him, but seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.

The young escort leader looked at Chen Tang excitedly and said, "I saw you in Langya Pavilion. You defeated Xia Yuanxian, a fellow cultivator of Xuanwu. You may not recognize me... I, my name is Yang Jianzhi."

"I recognize you today. Hello, Young Escort Leader."

Chen Tang clasped his fists and smiled.

"Not worthy of it, not worthy of it."

Yang Jianzhi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If Brother Chen doesn't mind, just call me Brother Yang."

Chen Tang nodded and said, "Okay."

"Brother Chen, you are so awesome!"

Yang Jianzhi looked at Chen Tang with eyes that seemed to be shining with stars, and said: "Eliminate the three thousand bandits in Xuantian, and illuminate Shenzhou with a frosty sword! Such means are truly unprecedented and overwhelming!"

Chen Tang smiled and said, "It's all Jiange's fault. We didn't kill that many people."

"Brother Chen, are you really the Lion-Tiger Arhat of Beiqian, the Demonic Blade Chen Tang?"

Yang Jianzhi said: "When I heard the news, I was a little unsure. No wonder, no wonder... Brother Chen, can you tell me about the process of slaying the dragon? I heard that the dragon..." Chen Tang coughed lightly, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face looked a little pale.

Yang Jianzhi reacted and said quickly, "I didn't think it through. We can talk about this later. Brother Chen, please go into the house and let Biaotou Hu and Biaotou Du see if they can use their internal energy to heal your wounds."

"That won't be a problem."

Chen Tang shook his head.

The Hu escort leader stood beside him without saying a word, and was obviously wary and resistant to him.

There is no reason for it and we are not close friends, so it is not good to let others waste their internal energy to heal me.

Chen Tang looked up and said, "It's getting late, and the city gates are about to close. I wonder if Brother Yang's Tianma Escort Agency can hide me in the escort convoy and take me to a place?"

"Brother Chen, don't worry, you can heal here tonight!"

Yang Jianzhi said in a deep voice: "No one can find this place. If they really come, I will argue with them!"

"Cough cough!"

Hu Biaotou next to him coughed twice seemingly unintentionally.

At the same time, a figure flew in from the front of the courtyard. It was Du Biaotou who had just inspected the surroundings.

Escort Captain Du said, "It's safe for now. We didn't see anyone. But Young Master Chen killed a commander of the Imperial Guards. If the Imperial Guards come looking for us, our Tianma Escort Agency won't be able to protect him."

Yang Jianzhi calmed down and thought about it, and realized that what Du Biaotou said was right.

After all, they are the imperial guards of Daxia and are directly under the royal family.

No matter how powerful the backer of Tianma Escort Agency is, he is only the governor of Jiangzhou. It is unlikely that he would become enemies with the imperial guards because of an outsider like Chen Tang.

Yang Jianzhi said in a deep voice: "Now that this has happened, I can't just sit back and watch. I'll do as Brother Chen said and hide him in our escort company's convoy, and we'll set off tonight."

In name it was a convoy, but in reality it was a delivery.

"Alright."

The two escort leaders Du and Hu looked at each other and nodded.

"Where are you going, Young Master Chen?"

Du Biaotou asked, "Langya Pavilion or Jiange?"

Given Chen Tang’s current situation, perhaps only the Second Pavilion among the six states of Daxia can protect him.

"Don't even go."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "Go north all the way, towards Xiajiang."

His whereabouts and purpose have been exposed. If he continues to head towards Wuzhou, he will not know how many ambushes and dangers lie ahead.

Even if the Tianma Escort Agency secretly escorts them, I'm afraid it won't be hidden from others.

Only by changing direction temporarily and unexpectedly can we temporarily escape the crisis.

Of course, Chen Tang had other plans for going to Xiajiang!
"Want to cross the river and return to Beiqian?"

Du Biaotou and his two companions were stunned for a moment, thinking that Chen Tang knew he had caused a big disaster and wanted to cross the river to Beiqian.

Hu Biaotou said: "There is no time to lose, pack up and leave now."

Chen Tang put on his hat again and, under Yang Jianzhi's arrangement, rode in the same carriage with him.

With the mission in hand, the Tianma Escort Agency quickly gathered its personnel very efficiently. There were about a hundred people, led by the two escort leaders Du and Hu, and they headed towards the north gate.

Seeing that it was the Tianma Escort Agency's convoy, the guards did not stop them and just waved and let them pass.

The Tianma Escort Agency left the city from the north gate and headed north towards Xiajiang.

In the carriage, Chen Tang had been fleeing for a long time. At this moment, his tense mind finally relaxed and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He assumed a meditation posture, and with the help of the power of the Vajra Relic, he practiced the breathing technique while visualizing the picture of enlightenment in the vast ocean, healing internal and external injuries while conserving his energy.
