Chapter 21
In the early morning, the end of the Luoshui River was covered with clouds and fog, and hundreds of boats of all sizes came from all over the place, floating on the water.

The surrounding shores are crowded with people, and there are many open areas where you can see Jianghu Erlang discussing on the spot, and onlookers cheering nearby. On the central road leading to Longmenguan, there are also many people from Jianghu walking around, and there are even many stalls selling various products. A peddler of gadgets.

Yu Huatian walked out of the cabin, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyebrows were slightly frowned:

"There are quite a few people joining in the fun."

Ding Xiu gnawed a bun in his mouth, and carried a slender seedling knife on his shoulder, looking at the surrounding scenes, with a lazy expression on his face, and didn't care about these Jianghu people around him.

Zhao Tong was carrying a double-headed spear, and his eyes were also scanning the surroundings. Then he seemed to have discovered something, walked to Yu Huatian, and said in a low voice: "Master, our people are watching."

Yu Huatian nodded slightly. His perception was extremely sharp at the moment. Just now, he noticed a few figures on the shore. After seeing him appearing from the boat, they had already left quietly. They should have reported to Longmen Pass.

"Let's go."

Yuhuatian didn't pay attention to the people around him. In his eyes, these people who dare to join in the fun, as long as they dare to go out to the desert, they will almost all be dead in the end, so there is no need to care.

What he really cares about are those first-class forces who also covet the treasure.

After ordering the boatman to stop the boat and dock, the three got off the merchant boat and walked straight to the main road ahead.

But just two steps away, Yu Huatian suddenly paused, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Master, we are being watched."

Zhao Tong said in a low voice, he also noticed that when they disembarked, there were quite a few people from the rivers and lakes around, sizing them up intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Huatian nodded slightly, and said, "Don't startle the snake."

As he spoke, he went straight to a roadside vendor selling candied fruit, picked up two candied fruit, and asked casually, "Boss, there are quite a few people from Jiang Hu who have come here recently?"

The small vendor got up quickly: "Young master, do you need to buy candied fruit?"

Yu Huatian said lightly: "You sell candied fruit here every day, do you know who has come here recently?"

The peddler looked enthusiastic: "Master, the candied fruit is very sweet."

The corner of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, he put down the candied fruit, threw a silver ingot to the peddler, and said, "I've bought all your candied fruit, don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you something, and take us to Longmen Pass by the way, let's talk as we go."

The small merchant picked up the silver, with a look of 'surprise', and nodded again and again: "Son, what you say is what you say, so let's... walk?"

"Let's go."

After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk forward. The small merchant stall was also abandoned, and he immediately followed up with a flattering expression.

That ingot of silver is enough to buy several stalls like him.

...

As Yuhuatian and the others left, some people in the surrounding world immediately began to whisper:
"Young man in white robes, handsome in appearance, accompanied by a green-faced gunman and a ponytailed swordsman. These three people should be the ones who killed Tian Boguang and Huashan disciple Linghu Chong a few days ago?"

"It should be them. I didn't expect to come here. Could it be for the treasure?"

"You fucking stupid, why didn't you come here for the treasure?"

"I don't know where these people come from. They even dare to kill people from the Huashan faction."

"Hey! I don't know how many first-class forces have come here these days. What is the mere Huashan faction?"

"That's right, the disciple was killed, and that Yue Buqun didn't even dare to fart. This Huashan faction is getting more and more declining..."

...

Xu is that the recent treasure incident has caused too much trouble, too many people from the rivers and lakes have come, and even the shore of Luoshui has formed an industrial chain.

Many merchants and peddlers seized the business opportunities, built some thatched sheds in the surrounding area and started their business, selling all kinds of snacks, melons and fruits, teahouses, taverns and restaurants, and even horse sellers.

This place is still tens of miles away from Longmen Pass, Yuhuatian and the others didn't hesitate to buy a few horses and rode to Longmen Pass.

The peddler selling candied fruit was also driving a donkey cart, and when he got into the donkey cart, the flattery on his face disappeared in an instant, and he drove close to Yu Huatian, and whispered, "Master."

Yu Huatian said indifferently: "I have been targeted by someone, what's going on?"

This peddler was originally a spy from the West Factory. During this time, he had been pretending to be a peddler and inquiring about news by the Luoshui River. He was naturally very clear about this matter. Hearing this, he explained in a low voice:
"A few days ago, the governor killed Tian Boguang and Huashan's disciple Linghu Chong. This matter has caused quite a disturbance in Jianghu, and there have been many people discussing it recently."

Yu Huatian immediately understood, he thought his identity had been exposed, it turned out it was because of Linghu Chong, so there was no need to care about it.

"Our people are all at Longmenguan, right?"

Yuhuatian asked.

"The first stall and the third stall are both there, and the Jinyiwei Six Great Thousand Households are also secretly mobilizing people to leave the customs."

"Xueyong is here too?"

Yuhuatian was a little surprised. The third-rank leader Ji Xueyong has been performing tasks outside, and he has not seen him for some days.

"The third stall closed at Longmen half a month ago." The peddler said in a low voice.

Yu Huatian nodded, without asking any more questions, he immediately sped up his speed and rushed to Longmen Pass.

The treasure should be born in the past few days. The most important thing at this moment is to find out who is coming and make arrangements in advance.

...

Longmen Pass is one of the Eight Great Passes of the Ming Dynasty and an important passage leading to the outside of the Great Wall. At the same time, like the Jiayu Pass in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it was built to resist the aliens in the north.

It's just that there is an endless desert outside Longmen Pass, and there are very few foreign races settled down, so foreign races rarely invade Daming from Longmen Pass.

However, just in case, there is still a Ming garrison guarding it all year round, and the emperor will also send Jinyiwei to secretly monitor in order to prevent the master of Longmen Pass from embracing his troops.

But now Jinyiwei is basically controlled by Yuhuatian, so it can be regarded as the territory of Xichang.

An hour later, Yuhuatian and others arrived at the nearest city to Longmen Pass—Longmen City.

The area around Longmen City is called Longmen, and Longmen City is the main city in the area around Longmen.

Although it is located at the border, it is still extremely prosperous.

Entering the city, various peddlers and pawns peddle along the street, and many vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street to make a living. Occasionally, you can see a few Jianghu people dressed as warriors with knives and swords.

In order to avoid hurting others, Yuhuatian and others led the horse into the city, and while looking at the scene in the city, Yuhuatian asked, "Where are our people?"

The peddler whispered: "In order to hide their whereabouts, they did not contact the government at the big stall. They have been staying in Jinfenglou for the past few days, which is the largest inn in Longmen City. Most of the Jianghu people who came here during this time lived in There."

Yu Huatian nodded, and said, "You go back first, and continue to stare at Luoshui to see how many people from the rivers and lakes are coming."

"Yes."

After the peddler finished speaking, he immediately turned around and drove away. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he was really just trying to lead the way for Yuhuatian and others, without showing any flaws.

The three of Yuhuatian found someone to ask the direction of Jinfenglou, and they rushed straight to Jinfenglou.

But just two steps away, Yu Huatian suddenly felt a murderous intent. He stopped and turned his head to look behind. People were hurrying on the street, but he still locked one of them in a black robe with a long gun in his hand. Sword figure.

The two of Zhao Tong also followed Yu Huatian's gaze, thought for a while, Zhao Tong's eyes changed, and said: "Master, this person has followed us all the way!"

Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could follow him all the way. He had a premonition that this person probably didn't come here for Linghu Chong and others' affairs, but he should have recognized his identity.

The black-clothed swordsman doesn't seem to be weak. He knows his identity and has a grudge against him. Who could it be?
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Let's go, don't worry about him, since he knows my identity, he will take the initiative to come to me sooner or later."

"Yes."

Zhao Tong nodded, and then the three of them speeded up and quickly disappeared into the crowd, heading towards the Golden Phoenix Tower.

And just as the three of Yuhuatian left, the black-clothed swordsman who had just turned his back to the three of them slowly turned around, revealing a handsome face with a heroic spirit and a pair of slender eyes, staring at the three of Yuhuatian. In the direction where the person left, murderous intent raged in his eyes.

"Xichang Yuhuatian, what a keen perception!"

"However, no matter how good your martial arts are, with so many masters here, you will surely die without a place to die!"

"Zhao Huaian, I will avenge you..."

As the black-clothed swordsman spoke, he took out a bamboo flute in his arms and glanced at it, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, then he turned around suddenly and disappeared into the crowd.

No one knew that he was the one who spread the news about Dabai Shangguo's treasure, the purpose was to lure Yuhuatian out and avenge Zhao Huaian!
...

Jinfenglou is an inn that integrates a restaurant and a hotel. It is located on the most prosperous central street in Longmen City. The people who come and go are almost all dignitaries, or those businessmen who spend a lot of money. They are all masters who are not short of money.

But in the past few days, the people who live here are some people from the Jianghu who are attracted by the treasure. Although these people from the Jianghu are not necessarily rich, most of them want to save face. When they come to Longmen City, they will bear the pain Live in this Jinfeng Building to prove that I am no worse than others.

As soon as the three of Yuhuatian arrived at the entrance of the Jinfeng Building, they were spotted by the Xichang spies who were watching outside, and immediately took them upstairs.

At this time, it was noon, and in the restaurant downstairs, there were many Jianghu people sitting and drinking and chatting. As soon as they entered, they attracted a lot of attention, wanting to see which other Jianghu heroes came.

After a glance, many people turned their eyes away after they didn't know each other. However, some people seemed to recognize the trio of Yuhuatian. It seemed that they were the ones who killed Tian Boguang and Huashan disciple Linghu Chong a few days ago. I took a look.

Most of them are chivalrous women in the Jianghu. Of course, it is not known whether it was because of Yuhuatian's appearance that they took a closer look, or because they recognized the identities of Yuhuatian and the other three.

Yuhuatian didn't cause trouble either, and followed the Xichang scouts to a room on the third floor next to the street with a calm face.

There were only two people in the room, one of them was Ma Jinliang, and the other was a white-faced bald man, who was the third-ranking head of Xichang, Ji Xueyong.

Seeing Yu Huatian approaching, the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "My subordinates will see the Governor."

Yu Huatian glanced at Ji Xueyong and nodded slightly: "Jinliang, Xueyong, you have worked hard."

Ma Jinliang cupped his hands and did not speak, but Ji Xueyong was full of excitement, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "For the supervisor, the subordinates will die!"

Knowing Ji Xueyong's character, Yu Huatian didn't say much, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about the current situation, who have been here these days?"

Zhao Tong did not stay in the room, but went out to guard the outside with great insight to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Ma Jinliang glanced at Ji Xueyong, beckoning him to answer, Ji Xueyong did not refuse, he liked this opportunity to perform in front of the governor, he liked it so much, he cupped his hands and said:
"During this period of time, there were probably dozens of Jianghu forces and hundreds of warriors here and there, but there were only a few forces on the stage."

Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "Tell me specifically."

"Yes."

Ji Xueyong replied: "The Sun Moon God Sect came first, and then the righteous Wudang, Shaolin, Emei and other major sects also came after hearing the news, and killed many people from the Sun Moon God Sect. The two sides fought one after another, and many people died from each other, but generally speaking, the Sun Moon God Sect killed more people."

"Did Dongfang Bubai come in person?" Yu Huatian asked.

"No, but if things go on like this, Dongfang Bubai may also come. The Sun Moon God Sect has killed so many people, and Dongfang Bubai has a domineering personality, so he won't let it go easily." Ji Xueyong replied.

Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "What else?"

"There are also people from the Money Gang, and the number one expert under Shangguan Jinhong's command, Jing Wuming, leads the team personally, along with five geniuses, Zhuge Gang, Xiang Song, Gao Xingkong, Yan Shuangfei, and Tang Du!" Xueyong looked dignified.

"Money Gang?"

Yuhuatian frowned.

The Qiang Gang is also a first-class force in the Jianghu. The leader of the gang, Shangguan Jin Hong, is a veteran grand master. A pair of "child mother dragon and phoenix rings" in his hands ranks second in the weapon spectrum. There is a realm of rings, no one has ever seen a double ring shot in his hand in 20 years.

But the Money Gang itself is the first-class big gang in Ming Dynasty, with strong financial resources, how could they be interested in this treasure?

It is impossible for Shangguan Jinhong not to know that the imperial court will also take action, and the Qiang Gang's participation in the battle for the treasure means that he will tear himself apart from the imperial court. He should not be that stupid.

"Apart from the Money Gang and the Sun Moon God Sect, what other forces are there? Is there no one from the Ming Sect?"

Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong and continued to ask.

"People from the Ming Cult haven't found out yet, but people from the two assassin organizations, Tianzun and Black Stone, have also appeared in the past few days and killed some people in the Jianghu. Someone should have asked them to take action."

Ji Xueyong replied.

Yu Huatian nodded, not paying too much attention to it. Compared with the Sun Moon God Sect and the Money Gang, although Tianzun and Heishi are also very powerful, they are just two killer organizations that can't make any trouble.

Moreover, he is very clear about the details of Tianzun and Black Stone. There are not many real masters, but he has not found out the identity of the leader of Black Stone, the King of the Wheels, but it should not be very powerful.

Instead, Mingjiao did not come, which surprised Yuhuatian.

The Ming Cult and the Sun Moon God Sect, the two evil sect organizations, are not only tolerated by the righteous way, but also always want to rebel and often oppose the court.

Mingjiao didn't know what he was thinking, but no one came this time.

Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong: "Let people keep an eye on it, and report immediately if someone from Mingjiao shows up."

"Yes."

Ji Xueyong hastily cupped his hands.

Yu Huatian continued: "Didn't you say that people from the Devil's Cult also entered the customs? How many people came?"

The Demon Cult in this world does not refer to a single Demon Cult sect, but a collective term for all sects that are not tolerated by the Righteous Way. For example, the Sun Moon God Sect and the Ming Cult can also be called Demon Cults.

But there is also a Demon Cult force recognized by the Ming Dynasty, which was introduced from the deserts of the Western Regions. Tian Xing, the director of the Demon Cult, was also a famous figure in the world back then.

However, in the 30-year war between righteousness and demons, the Demon Cult was defeated by the Righteous Way, and Tian Xing, the director of the Demon Cult, was also defeated by the righteous master of the Holy Sword Hall, Bai Yu, who had to retreat to the Central Plains, and agreed with Bai Baiyu that as long as Bai Baiyu is still alive, and the Demon Cult will never enter the Central Plains.

Ji Xueyong shook his head and said, "Master, the Demon Cult did not enter the customs, but a few days ago a swordsman wielding a round moon scimitar appeared in the northwest, and fought with Fu Hongxue, the successor of Bai Tianyu. Ding Peng is using the Devil's Cult's unique technique 'Shen Dao Zhan'."

"The small building listened to the spring rain all night, Ding Peng?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Yuhuatian's eyes, and then he nodded.

He probably understood what was going on.

Ding Peng is the protagonist in Gu Long's novel "Full Moon Scimitar". He was originally an ordinary swordsman in Daming, but he was accidentally seriously injured and went away to the Central Plains. He fell in love with Qingqing, the daughter of the director of the Demon Cult, Tianxing, and obtained the inheritance of the Demon Cult. He improved his sword skills. .

Now that Ding Peng came back, it should be instructed by Ren Tianxing, he abided by the agreement not to enter the Central Plains, but Ding Peng is not a member of the Demon Cult, so he is not included in this list.

I just don't know why Ding Peng came back this time.

Fight with Bai Baiyu's successor Fu Hongxue to save face?
Yu Huatian shook his head and said, "As long as they don't meddle in our affairs, ignore them for now."

"Yes!"

"Didn't you say that there are martial arts figures from other dynasties coming? Who are they?"

Yuhuatian continued to ask.

"For the time being, only people from the Great Song Dynasty came here, but those who came were just small characters. The only one who had a reputation in the Jianghu was the girl from the Great Song Dynasty and Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Gang, who became 'North Qiaofeng, South Murong'. Su Murong Fu."

"Murong Fu?"

A trace of disdain flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes: "In order to restore the country, I really dare to join in any excitement."

No need to think too much, Yu Huatian also knew that Murong Fu must have come here because he wanted to obtain the treasures of the Dabaishang Kingdom in order to restore Dayan.

But with his martial arts, how dare he covet the treasure?

"Since you're here, you don't have to go!"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes, and he had already sentenced Murong Fu to death in his heart.

People from the Song Dynasty dared to come to the Ming Dynasty to snatch the treasure, they simply did not know how to live or die!
"What's happening in the Great Song court?"

Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong. Compared with Song Wulin, he was more concerned about the reaction of the Song court.

If Da Song sent troops to take action, then this incident, I am afraid that there will be a big disturbance, and he may not be able to solve it by himself.

"For the time being, it has not been discovered that Song Dynasty has mobilized troops." Ji Xueyong replied.

"That's good. In that case, just beware of people in the world."

Yuhuatian nodded slightly, feeling a little more relaxed.

"How long is it until the treasure is born?"

Ji Xueyong replied: "The situation in the desert has been changing in the past few days. According to the inferences in the world, it should be these few days."

"very good!"

Yu Huatian got up and ordered: "Notify Jin Yiwei, start the layout, leave tomorrow, and leave for the desert!"

"As ordered!"

Everyone cupped their hands at the same time, then turned and left the room.

Yu Huatian walked to the window, and looked out at the changing sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed.

There are so many people here this time, and I don't know how many people are interested in the treasure. To be honest, he is also under a lot of pressure.

However, it would be better if there were more people, let these people become the stepping stones for him to break through to the Grand Master! ——
Originally, I wanted to insert directly into the plot, but the character design of the protagonist is to plan and then move, and the protagonist controls Xichang and Jinyiwei, it is impossible to find out how many people came, so I wrote this chapter first to pave the way. The next chapter begins to enter the plot.
