Eternal Sword

Chapter 556 Trading
The old man's tone was calm, but the young man's heart was startled.

Based on his understanding of the old man, he knew that the words "send him to death" just now meant that the old man had already started to kill!
Who does the old man want to kill?
His old friend?

The young man remained calm, vaguely guessing a possibility.

"General, you are joking. I have been away from the martial arts world for many years. I don't have any old friends."

The young man smiled and pretended to be calm.

"You'll know it when you see it."

After the old man finished speaking, he took the lead and rode his horse into Linjiang Town.

The young man could only follow with a nervous heart, hoping that his guess was wrong.

It was late at night and the wind and snow were blowing hard.

Apart from the two people, there were no other pedestrians on the street.

Not long after, the two arrived at an inn.

Linjiang Inn, an ordinary name.

The old man dismounted, came to the door of the inn and paused for a moment.

He waited until the young man caught up before pushing the door open and entering.

There was a squeak.

The wooden door was pushed open and a cold wind whistled in.

Several people who were sitting around the fireplace in the lobby and chatting excitedly couldn't help but shiver.

"There are guests coming at this hour."

The bearded man muttered.

The fur-clad man looked at the sleepy boss at the counter, chin propped up, and called out, "Boss, business is coming!"

Chen Tang turned his head and looked.

When he saw the two people coming in, he was startled and stood there in a daze.

The old man in front is none other than Wang Xiaobo, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, who is famous in Southern Xia!
The young man following behind was Song Wu.

These two people should be on the battlefield in Wujiang and other states to encircle and suppress Xuantian Sect, so why are they appearing here?

Then, Chen Tang seemed to think of something, his heart sank, and his expression changed slightly.

"Greetings, General Wang."

Chen Tang stood up, bowed slightly, and looked respectful.

But in fact, he was tense, and by bowing, he shortened the distance between his palm and 'Wan Gu' behind him, to ensure that he could draw his sword at the first moment to deal with any unexpected events!
Wang Xiaobo's unexpected appearance here may very likely point to the worst outcome!

"Chen Tang, how are you?"

Wang Xiaobo smiled faintly, sat down casually on a bench nearby, and said, "I heard that you were very impressive at the martial arts conference, and you are already the top of the three lists of Jiange. You are truly the number one among the younger generation."

After this year, Chen Tang will only be twenty years old.

At this age, he has already entered the third rank. From ancient times to the present, few people have been able to achieve such an accomplishment.

The four people by the stove were not from the martial arts world. They had only heard of the martial arts conference but did not know the details.

But when I heard that the old man's surname was Wang and he was also a general, I couldn't help but feel curious.

The innkeeper receives guests from all over the world here all year round and has seen all kinds of people.

But he had never met a person like the old man, who exuded such a powerful aura, was intimidating without even being angry, and even made people afraid to look him in the eye.

On the surface, the old man and the young brother seemed to be chatting and reminiscing about the past after a long separation.

But he vaguely sensed that something was not right between the two of them.

Chen Tang was still respectful, and said: "The top of the three lists is not worth mentioning. It is General Wang who planned and planned, fought in the capital, and personally led the Northern Expedition Army to wipe out the Xuantian Sect. He is the real famous one."

"Are you the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, General Wang Xiaobo?"

The big man in furs beside the stove exclaimed.

The bearded man frowned and said, "How can it be such a coincidence? Could it be fake?"

At this time, General Wang should be fighting the remnants of the Xuantian Sect.

They were just talking about Wang Xiaobo, and Wang Xiaobo came here?

"No rudeness!"

Song Wu suddenly stepped forward, with a clang, half of the blade of the long sword at his waist was exposed. He stared at the four people beside the stove with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted murderously: "Get out of here!" The bearded man was inexplicably scolded and became furious. He was about to stand up and argue with Song Wu.

But when his eyes met Song Wu's, his courage was lost.

Not to mention Song Wu's third-rank cultivation, even the murderous aura he developed on the battlefield is not something ordinary people can resist.

"Brother, forget it."

The fur-clad man advised, glancing at his wife and children beside him.

After all, he has a family with him, so try not to get into arguments when you are out.

The bearded man snorted and muttered quietly, "We haven't finished eating yet, so we won't leave."

Song Wu's original intention was to drive them away.

Seeing that they still refused to leave, he was about to step forward and show some skills to scare them, but he heard a voice behind him: "Song Wu, come back."

"Yes."

After a slight hesitation, Song Wu responded. At the same time, he turned his back to Wang Xiaobo, winked at Chen Tang, and then turned around and walked back.

"I am old after all, and someone has to take over the Northern Expedition."

Wang Xiaobo sighed and said, "Among the younger generation, the two people I am most optimistic about are Song Wu and you."

At this point, Wang Xiaobo paused and sighed: "It's a pity that you are from Beiqian."

As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the lobby seemed to drop instantly!

The four of them gathered around the fire and shivered uncontrollably.

The innkeeper swallowed his saliva behind the counter, feeling a little panicked and at a loss.

"hehe."

Chen Tang suddenly laughed and said, "Even I myself don't feel anything about my identity as a Beiqian person, but I didn't expect that General Wang would care so much about it."

Although he was originally from Beiqian, Chen Tang really had no sense of identity with this identity.

Beiqian didn't even consider him as a human being, so how could he be considered a Beiqian person?

What's more, he just traveled through time and space and had no feelings for Bei Qian.

"Of course I care."

Wang Xiaobo said, "Since you are from Beiqian, it is difficult for me to trust you."

"General Wang is a man of swift and decisive action. How could he be so entangled?"

Chen Tang put away his respectful attitude and took off the 'Eternal' from behind in front of Wang Xiaobo. He held it tightly in his hand and said, "Let's just be straightforward and talk about it."

"General Wang is here to kill me?"

Chen Tang was too lazy to beat around the bush with Wang Xiaobo, so he went straight to the point.

Wang Xiaobo laughed in silence, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Song Wu sighed in his heart.

The worst happened.

Ali hid his hands in his sleeves, silently clenched the two shadow daggers, his eyes gradually became cold and boring, and he quickly returned to his hidden state.

Chen Tang asked, "Did you make a deal with Xia Daozi?"

"clever."

Wang Xiaobo exclaimed in praise, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he looked at Chen Tang, which was considered an acknowledgement.

At this point, there is no need to hide it.

Chen Tang said: "At the martial arts conference, I heard that you and Xia Daozi joined forces. I was a little surprised at the time, but now it makes sense."

Wang Xiaobo shook his head and said, "In the battle of the capital, he can only join forces with me. There is no other choice. But the deal between him and me regarding you is not to deal with Xuantian Sect."

Chen Tang smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's that for?"

Wang Xiaobo slightly turned sideways, bowed his hands to the void, and said calmly: "I will take your life to avenge him for killing his son. And he will voluntarily resign from his post and return power to the emperor. Killing you is for the emperor, for the country of Southern Xia!"

"Ouch!"

Chen Tang couldn't help but exclaimed: "General Wang is indeed the most loyal minister of Daxia. He is truly loyal to the current emperor. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this! If Jiange were to rank a loyalty list, I guarantee that General Wang would be at the top of the list."

Of course Wang Xiaobo could hear the sarcasm in Chen Tang's tone, but his expression remained calm.
