The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 284 Lightning and Thunder
The 50 taels of white silver was packed in 90 iron boxes, loaded in three ordinary carriages, and sent to Tiance Mansion. Li Tianxing led people out in a hurry. Seeing this scene, he didn't know what it was Meaning, the little eunuch then said: "Commander Li, pass on an order from His Majesty to order Tian Cewei to escort the [-] taels of silver when he goes to the Tianshi Mansion."

"Oh!" Li Tianxing understood what he meant, and said again: "May I make an inventory first?"

The father-in-law said: "Of course, Commander Li can do as he pleases."

Tian Cewei jumped into the car one after another, opened the boxes one by one, and the white silver was neatly stacked in the boxes. Li Tianxing checked each one carefully, and found nothing unusual, so he said: "The eighteen boxes total 90 yuan. two!"

"It's hard work Commander Li, I'll leave it to you." The father-in-law turned and left.

Li Tianxing said to Sha Wuhen who sent away the House of Internal Affairs: "First take the money back to the treasury of Tiance Mansion and take care of it carefully. There will be an extra three-horse cart of money. We have to arrange it again."

Sha Wuhen said: "The original manpower is not enough, I will make arrangements."

Li Tianxing said: "In addition, plan the route again and remind the Tiance guards along the road to come out in time to respond. If something goes wrong with the 90 taels of silver, I don't have so much spare money to make up for the hole."

Sha Wuhen said: "My lord, don't worry." Sha Wuhen was born as a killer and thoughtful, and now he is very handy in doing these things by Li Tianxing's side, and generally there will be no mistakes in arranging these things.

After another two or three days of delay in the palace, Li Tianxing set off with Tian Cewei, and Sha Wuhen re-assigned additional manpower to guard the 90 taels of silver that was escorted. With less than a month left, Tiance Guard still needs to assist the Taoist priests in the Tianshi Mansion to complete some tasks, so the less time wasted on the road, the better.

Their marching schedule was quite tight, and this time without Concubine Zhen to hold them back, their marching speed was quite fast.The big banner of Tiance Mansion was held at the front, and the apricot-yellow banner fluttered in the wind. All the merchants, officials and troops passing by had to give way, and then watched Li Tianxing and the others leave with reverent eyes.

Unlike Jinyiwei who arrests everyone, Tiancewei is only responsible for handling disputes with the imperial court in the world, so common people still have a good impression of Tiancewei.Even passing by those official roads that often rob houses, even the most ferocious robbers would only dare to hide on the top of the hill and watch the fully armed Tiance Guards.

The journey was extremely smooth. Tiance Guards from all over the country responded on time according to the established arrangements. They arrived at the Anlan River in ten days. This river is a branch of the Yangtze River. After passing the Anlan River, it is the boundary of the Tianshi Mansion. The mountain and Tianshi's mansion are facing each other from a distance. When Tianshi's mansion was chosen here, it also took a fancy to the Fengshui here, sitting quietly to cultivate one's mind and nature, watching the hills to comprehend martial arts moves.

Anlan River's name has a word "An", which means that the river here is much calmer than other sections, but the river is still very wide, even if it is calm, it is not easy to cross. Tian Cewei, who arranged to meet here, has already found three An experienced old boatman asked them to sail the boat and bring people and money across the Anlan River.

At this time, it was almost evening, Li Tianxing looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said: "Hurry up, it feels like it will rain today."

Sha Wuhen nodded and said, "It will definitely rain."

The boat was not big, so Li Tianxing scattered the three carriages pulling silver among the three boats for the sake of conservatism, thinking that if something happened, all the 90 taels of silver would not be lost.Li Tianxing, who had just had this idea, hurriedly pooh-poohed, 30 taels of silver dropped into the river was enough for him to drink a pot.

The three carriages pulling Baiyin boarded the boat, and Sha Wuhen had already ordered people to cover the eyes of all the horses to prevent them from being frightened and causing disturbances, and then dispersed Tiance's guards and arranged them on several small boats.

Li Tianxing said: "If something happens to the horse in the middle of the river, just push the horse down the river. It doesn't matter if the horse dies, but it will be troublesome if the boat capsizes."

The others nodded one after another, expressing their understanding. The three ships sailed towards the center of the river. Although the river current was not as urgent as other places, there was still plenty of rapids. The old boatman controlled it very well, and the three ships passed smoothly, and nothing happened to the horses. Unexpectedly, this trip was safe and sound, but when we reached the shore, the dark clouds above had completely covered the sky, as if a black ink had been knocked over.

"Boom!" A thunderbolt struck and rang above their heads.

"It's going to rain!" Go forward quickly, the Tianshi Mansion is still on the mountainside, Wangshan ran dead horses, there is still a long distance from the Tianshi Mansion, they drove the horses and ran quickly, Sha Wuhen raised his head Looking at the dark clouds, he said, "This rain is a bit weird!"

Li Tianxing said: "Why is it so weird?"

Sha Wuhen said loudly: "The sound of thunder is so breathtaking that I am a little scared..."

Li Tianxing looked at Sha Wuhen in disbelief and said: "You are a big old man who is five-year-old and three-year-old, but you are afraid of thunder?"

Sha Wuhen shouted: "No!" While speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the world, followed by a muffled thunder, as if exploding in everyone's ears, Li Tianxing also felt the thunder It seemed that the cultivation base in his body was also shaken violently along with the thunder.

Finally, the heavy rain poured down on Li Tianxing and the others. The icy cold rain drenched Tian Cewei like a drowned chicken. Li Tianxing turned to Tian Cewei on his body and urged, "Hurry up!"

Several Tiance guards had already dismounted, dragging the reins of the horses pulling the carriage forward desperately. Compared with humans, these war horses reacted more violently to thunder and lightning, so they insisted on relying on Tiance guards to move forward. dragged forward.

Li Tianxing simply gave up riding, and shouted to Sha Wuhen: "You take the others to shelter from the rain, and I will arrive with the carriage!" Li Tianxing almost roared these words, because the sound of wind and rain His voice was easily drowned out.

Sha Wuhen wiped the rainwater off his face, and replied: "How can this be done? My lord! You take people to the front to shelter from the rain, and I will pull the carriage."

"Go, this is an order!" Li Tianxing rode back to the back, Sha Wuhen looked at the gray rain curtain, and vaguely saw rows of neat pavilions built at the foot of the mountain in front, which could temporarily shelter people from the rain.

"Follow me all!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Three extremely bright lightning bolts lit up between the sky and the earth, illuminating the whole world, but also completely covering their sight that they couldn't see clearly.

Li Tiancai rode his horse back, but happened to see these three lightning bolts, which were respectively striking at three carriages pulling silver.
