I can strengthen

Chapter 124 Murder

"This girl is a bit unfamiliar. Xiaosheng has never seen you in the medicine shop. Are you also an alchemist?"

Wang Hao was also in the carriage, and when he saw the woman, his eyes lit up immediately.

"I'm not an alchemist, I'm just going to Jihua Township on the way." The woman smiled and chose a seat at random.

Coincidentally, it happened to be next to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan just glanced at the woman when she came in, and then closed his eyes, entering a state of rest.

It seemed that he was quite disapproving of this woman.

In fact, when he saw the woman for the first time, his heart was already terrified.

This woman looks weak, but she is extremely strong with qi and blood all over her body. If she is not a bone refiner...she must be the best in blood refinement.

The essential.

The woman is still very young.

Judging by his facial features, he is about 20 years old.

To be able to achieve such an achievement at such an age must have an extraordinary background.

Luo Yan didn't want to stir up trouble, so he followed the example of the other stern alchemists and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

"My lord, Wang Hao, the king of princes and generals, Haotian's Hao, don't know the girl's name?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"Zhou Yuyao." Zhou Yuyao smiled faintly.

"Yuyao...good name." Wang Hao praised, and said: "Is it important for the girl to go to Jihua Township?"

"Yes." Zhou Yuyao spat out two words with a smile, and then kept silent.

Wang Hao saw this.

Knowing that people don't want to talk to me, she smiled awkwardly, but could only look away.

Among the male alchemists, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared, and the male alchemists were somewhat reserved.

Coupled with the somewhat perfunctory attitude of the woman.

This time.

The atmosphere in the car became gloomy.

"Thanks to Guiyaofang's respect, I hired me from the Pegasus Escort to escort you to Jihua Township."

"I, Ma Pingchuan, hereby promise that as long as you listen to my arrangement, the trip will be smooth sailing. If you are missing a hair, I, Ma Pingchuan, are the only ones to ask!"

A sound like thunder exploded throughout the audience.

The alchemy apprentices in the carriage all changed their colors slightly, amazed at Ma Pingchuan's powerful strength, as expected, his reputation is well-deserved.

Even Luo Yan's face was solemn, and his heart was a little awe-inspiring.

Just digging into what Namapingchuan said...

He smiled slightly, his hairs were falling off anytime, if he got serious, Ma Pingchuan would be asked many times.

"set off!"

Following Ma Pingchuan's sharp shout, the carriage began to move forward slowly.

Cross the avenue.

Out of the city gate.

This walk is a full three hours.

The convoy didn't stop until noon.

"Stop, rest here for a while, and eat some dry food, it should be convenient and convenient. We will start in two quarters of an hour." Accompanied by Ma Pingchuan's loud voice.

A group of alchemists and apprentices filed down from the carriage.

Or take clean water and dry food from the bodyguard, or go to a secluded place for convenience.

Luo Yan also got out of the carriage, walked to a secluded place, untied his belt, and started to turn on the water.

clap la la...

He looked very happy.

At this time, there was a sudden movement behind him.

"Who?!" He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

I saw an old man getting out from the grass, looking around carefully.

It was Zhang Sanping.

"It's you?" Luo Yan was a little surprised.

After draining the water, he tied up his trouser belt, and said indifferently: "Senior, do you want something from me?"

"Boy, do you know that you are going to die?" Zhang Sanping looked back vigilantly, and then lowered his voice nervously.

I'm dying?

Luo Yan's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Senior, do you mean that someone wants to kill me? Master Shen?"

He remembered.

Zhang Sanping was an apprentice beside Shen Zhou.

After this trip, it was Shen Zhou who named him.

If he wants to harm him, the only possibility is to sink the boat.

"That's right. Just now he asked me to find the head of the escort, and buy your life for 1 taels of silver!" Zhang Sanping said in a low voice.

"1 taels..."

Luo Yan was silent.

When was Luo's life worth 1 taels?
He originally thought that Shen Zhou had cherished his talent and wanted to get close to him, and then accepted him as his apprentice.

did not expect……

He looked at Zhang Sanping, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you senior for reminding me, I will be careful."

"Don't be careful, you should run away quickly." Zhang Sanping was a little anxious.

Luo Yan was silent again.

If a year ago, he was carrying a large amount of wealth, he might have escaped.

but now…

He completed the blood exchange at five times the speed of ordinary people, which naturally consumed a lot of resources.

The wealth obtained from the Xu family has long since been exhausted, and he even secretly sold half of the Bone Forging Pill.

Now, he is short of money.

He originally thought that if this matter is over, he will start to promote the second-rank alchemist, and then rely on the name of the second-rank alchemist to make money.

Let him run now?
He raised his head, patted Zhang Sanping's arm, and smiled in relief: "There is no need to run away. After all, I am a third-rank alchemist in the medicine workshop. As long as Ma Pingchuan is not confused, he probably won't do anything to me."

At least, in front of everyone...

He added something in his mind.

"You...Hey!" Zhang Sanping wanted to say something, but seeing Luo Yan's calm face, knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, he could only sigh, turned around and shook his head and left.

"Senior, do you know why Shen Zhou wanted to kill me?" Luo Yan shouted.

"You blocked the way of his apprentice." Zhang Sanping turned around to explain, and got into the grass.

apprentice?

Luo Yan pondered for a while, and frowned.

He didn't even know who Shen Zhou's apprentice was, how could he block the way?
He shook his head, pondered for a while, narrowed his eyes, and strode towards the carriage.

When walking back to the carriage.

Luo Yan clearly felt that he was being watched by several eyes.

As if he didn't realize it, he went straight to the carriage.

far away.

Ma Pingchuan sat with two escorts from the Pegasus Escort Bureau.

The strength of the two bodyguards is weaker than Ma Pingchuan, but they are also bone refining warriors who have completed the blood exchange, and their blood is amazing.

After watching Luo Yan get into the carriage, the three began to discuss in low voices.

"Boss, is that kid Shen Zhou wants us to kill?"

"That kid's blood is quite strong, I'm afraid he's also a blood refiner."

"So young and handsome, if I have a daughter, I will definitely marry him."

The two bodyguards rubbed their chins and commented.

Ma Pingchuan took out a steamed bun from his bosom, swallowed it in one gulp, and said slowly, "Which one of you will go?"

"Hey, the extra money is worthless, I'll go." One of the bodyguards replied with a smile.

"Brother Wen, I let you go last time, why should it be my turn this time?" Another bodyguard was not happy.

"How much was last time? 3000 taels! What about this time? A total of 2000 to [-] taels. Well, I'll go, and when I come back, I'll give you [-] taels." said the bodyguard who called Brother Wen.

"No, I'll go. When I get the rest of the money, I'll give you 3000 taels."

"Are we drawing lots?"

The two couldn't argue.

How strong can a blood refining alchemist be?

Find an opportunity, do it casually, it is 1 taels.

Such a good thing is equivalent to picking up money for nothing, who wouldn't want to do it?
Looking at the two of them, Ma Pingchuan couldn't help shaking his head.

Only 1 taels.

For bone refiners like them, it's just a matter of running a dart, so why is it so ugly to fight?
"Okay, Bi Dayong, you go." Ma Pingchuan couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly.

"Yes, escort!" Bi Dayong smiled triumphantly, and cupped his hands at Brother Wen: "Brother Wen, let me go."

"Hmph." Brother Wen curled his lips.

on the carriage.

Luo Yan questioned Wang Hao, and also learned the name of Shen Zhou's apprentice.

Shen Zhou's apprentice is called Yun Zhao, and he is also a third-rank alchemist in the medicine workshop, and he is an outstanding one.

only…

He still doesn't know why he blocked Yun Zhao's way.

"Get in the car and get ready to go!"

At this time, the bodyguards shouted again from outside the carriage.

"This bodyguard, how long will it take to get to Jihua Township?" A alchemist asked.

"Soon, it will only take two or three hours." The bodyguard replied casually.

"Hey, this carriage is bumpy, and it's really uncomfortable for me to sit on it."

A group of alchemist apprentices got into the carriage and moved forward again.

However, this time, the carriage stopped for an hour before stopping again.

"what happened?"

"Why did it stop again?"

Zhou Yuyao opened the curtain and looked out, and looked away, with a trace of solemnity in her eyes: "There is a corpse in front."

"Corpse?"

"Let's go and have a look."

In order to watch the excitement, all the alchemy apprentices from Baotai Pharmacy got off the carriage and surrounded them.

Luo Yan stood by, looking at the scene in front of him, frowning slightly.

As far as the eye can see, there are twenty or thirty corpses lying on the road ahead.

The smell of blood is strong.

Even some alchemists couldn't bear it, bent down and vomited.

Shen Zhou's two maids paled even more, they grabbed Shen Zhou's arm, as if they wanted to rub it into his arms.

Shen Zhou took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Head Ma, what's the situation?"

Without raising his head, Ma Pingchuan said solemnly while examining the corpses: "The blood of these corpses is still warm, that is to say, they died not long ago."

"Just died?!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone changed color slightly.

These corpses died miserably, some had sunken chests, some were decapitated with a knife, and some even had their heads blown off...

Judging from the death conditions of these corpses, the murderer was so powerful that he was almost destroyed, so he eliminated the two No. 30 people.

If these people just died.

Well...the killer may not be far away.

Might even have heard movement from their side!

"Horse Escort." Shen Zhou was dripping with cold sweat, and whispered: "There is no danger, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Ma Pingchuan waved his hand, and said solemnly: "Nowadays, there are constant wars and bandits are rampant. It's nothing if some people die."

He said so, but to stabilize the morale of the army.

In fact, judging from the wounds on these corpses, the murderer might be even stronger than him!
"Boss, these people died in different ways, and there should be quite a few murderers who killed them." A bodyguard said in a deep voice.

Ma Pingchuan nodded, and immediately waved his hand, saying: "Move the corpse away, and continue on the road."

talking.

He looked around at the alchemist apprentices who were still watching, and snorted heavily: "Don't get in the way here, all of you get on the carriage."

"Yes, Escort."

"Boss Ma, you have to protect us well."

A group of alchemists and apprentices were frightened.

Luo Yan glanced at the corpse, and was about to go back to the carriage.

But at this time, nearly a hundred soldiers in black armor suddenly appeared in front of them.

A alchemist stared at him, and immediately exclaimed: "The city guards are here to pick us up!"
