Eternal Sword

Chapter 473 Thunderbolt Palm
Wuzhou.

A valuable carriage was slowly moving on the official road, with a faint fragrance emanating from the carriage and more than ten riders escorting it.

A horseman came at full speed from the direction of the capital, and soon arrived nearby.

"Young Shopkeeper, I just received news that something went wrong over there!"

The man was panting and sweating on the horse.

"Oh?"

A slight exclamation came from the carriage, and the driver understood and pulled the reins to stop the carriage.

The visitor continued, "There is no Mo Ming among Chen Tang's group of three. The 'Mo Ming' among them is actually Shen Zhiyuan in disguise! Moreover, Daxia's imperial guards were unable to stop them. Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li were rescued, while Chen Tang escaped with serious injuries and his whereabouts are unknown."

A voice came from the carriage: "Where is Mo Ming?"

"It's not clear right now."

The visitor said, "It is said that a few days ago in the Taoist temple, a soldier from the Northern Expedition named Song Wu took a man away. It is very likely that he was Mo Ming."

"People have been sent over there to track him down, but Song Wu seems to be an expert at tracking, leaving behind many false clues, and many people have been lost..."

There was silence all around.

More than ten riders remained silent.

This time, the young shopkeeper volunteered to take on the mission.

When this news came out, it meant that the young shopkeeper had been fooled.

"Haha, interesting."

After a while, a light laugh came from the carriage.

The next moment, a handsome man in white clothes and with fair skin walked out of the carriage, holding a folding fan in his hand, and said lightly: "Mo Ming escaped, he is alone, he can't cause any trouble."

"But Chen Tang is so lucky?"

The young shopkeeper waved his hand and signaled the driver to go away.

Then he opened his folding fan, chopped the shaft of the carriage several times, unloaded the carriage, and climbed on the horse.

"Young Shopkeeper, this is..."

The driver asked tentatively.

The young shopkeeper's mouth curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he said quietly: "This mission must be explained. This Chen Tang is so difficult to kill. I will go and meet him."

"But Chen Tang's whereabouts are unknown. Where can the young manager find him?" someone asked.

The young shopkeeper said, "Someone knows his whereabouts."

Before he finished speaking, a carrier pigeon flew over from a distance and slowly landed in front of a guard.

The man took the note off the pigeon and handed it to the young manager.

The young shopkeeper opened it and took a look. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "How clever."

"Let's go north to Xiajiang!"

The young shopkeeper waved his whip and said, "Pass this news to the Lei family. Lei Xiaotian is dead, and the people of the Lei family have already arrived in Yuezhou."
-
Yuezhou.

The Tianma Escort Agency traveled for one day and two nights, and only made a brief stop in the middle before continuing on their journey, traveling day and night.

Since it was a convoy from the Tianma Escort Agency, the journey was relatively smooth and there were fewer problems.

On this day, when the sky was just getting light, the people from the Tianma Escort Agency were already exhausted.

Escort Captain Du waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop, and came to Yang Jianzhi's car, whispering: "Young Escort Captain, we can reach Xiajiang in half a day's walk. We brothers can still hold on, but the horses are too tired. Let's stop and rest. Half a day is not a big deal."

Yang Jianzhi looked at Chen Tang in the carriage.

For one day and two nights, Chen Tang just sat in the carriage, motionless, without drinking or eating.

During this period, Yang Jianzhi brought him some food and drinks, but he had no reaction.

Just occasionally, a faint golden halo would appear on his body, which was extremely magical.

Yang Jianzhi realized that Chen Tang was recuperating and did not disturb him.

At this moment, Chen Tang slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Internal injuries heal much slower than external injuries. With the help of meditation and the Vajra Relic, the wound on his leg has scabbed over and he can move around without any problems.

But the internal injuries have only healed partially.

That huge stone-smashing move was indeed powerful. Without the protection of the dragon's inner armor, his internal organs might have been shattered!

At this moment, there was a slight vibration on the official road.

The two escort leaders Du and Hu have been escorting convoys for many years and are very experienced. When they observed the sand and gravel being shaken up by the ground, they immediately realized that there was a team of light cavalry rushing towards this place behind them.

The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

The Tianma Escort Agency is a caravan after all, and no matter how fast they travel, their speed is far slower than that of horses.

Not long after, a cloud of dust was seen behind the official road, and a group of black shadows appeared, riding fast horses, about dozens of them.

They rushed to the front of the Tianma Escort Agency and instantly split up. A group of people went around to the front and surrounded the Tianma Escort Agency.

"what happened?"

Yang Jianzhi gave Chen Tang a look, telling him to stay in the carriage and not make any noise. He got out of the carriage and asked with a frown.

"So he's the young escort leader of the Tianma Escort Agency."

The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing clothes with the Pili Hall pattern printed on them. His face was as black as charcoal. He said straight to the point, "I'm Lei Ming from the Pili Hall. I'm looking for someone from the Tianma Escort Agency!"

Du Biaotou clasped his hands and raised his voice, "So you are the 'Thunder Palm' Master Lei, brothers have heard of your name for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jianzhi bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Junior Yang Jianzhi, nice to meet Senior Lei. My father has mentioned you to me many times, saying that you are a rare figure in the world with your Thunder God Palm, which is feared throughout the south of the Yangtze River."

In fact, his father never told him these words.

However, Yang Jianzhi saw that the other party had ill intentions, so he said a few nice words to calm the other party down first.

Lei Ming was originally full of murderous intent and anger, but he couldn't let it go at this moment. His expression and tone were much more relaxed. He said, "I don't deserve the title of hero. It's just a compliment from my friends in the martial arts world. I also admire the character of Chief Escort Yang very much."

Yang Jianzhi asked, "Senior Lei, what did you mean by needing someone just now? I didn't quite understand."

Lei Ming said in a deep voice: "There is a person hiding in your car. He has a deep hatred for my Lei family! My nephew Lei Xiaotian died at his hands!"

Everyone in the Tianma Escort Agency was shocked when they heard this.

The news of Lei Xiaotian's death had not yet spread, and everyone was hearing about it for the first time.

If this is true, killing someone means paying with one's life, and it would be inappropriate for Tianma Escort Agency to get involved in this matter.

Head of Du Biao gave Yang Jianzhi a look.

Yang Jianzhi pretended not to see it, and still said with a smile: "Senior Lei, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. We are all from the escort agency when we are escorting to Xiajiang. There are no outsiders."

Du Biaotou frowned but said nothing.

Lei Ming's face darkened when he heard this.

He originally heard Yang Jianzhi calling him "senior" and had some good feelings towards this young man, thinking that he was probably unaware of this matter.

But now, she lied to his face!
"Since the young escort leader said so, let's search it and we will know whether it is true or not."

Lei Ming still had some concerns about the Tianma Escort Agency, so he suppressed his anger and spoke again.

Yang Jianzhi said with a smile: "Senior Lei, this is not a good idea. We are escorting and protecting convoys. How can we allow people to search us at will?"

"If Young Escort Leader disagrees, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lei Ming's eyes were full of energy, and he hid his hands in his sleeves, ready to strike.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rob the escort?"

Yang Jianzhi was young and full of energy, and his blood was boiling. He couldn't hold back and let out a loud shout.

After just a few words, the two sides were already on the verge of a fight.

"Don't be impulsive!"

The two escort leaders, Du and Hu, were greatly alarmed and hurried out to dissuade them.

Although they had a group of more than a hundred people and had the advantage in numbers, once the two sides fought, the Lei family would throw down a bunch of firearms, and they would be no match for them.

It was a blessing that the two of them were able to protect Yang Jianzhi and escape.
