Chapter 3 The Causes of Chaos
Quzhi City, the garrison of the capitals of the four Anxi towns, has been visited by countless caravan travelers, envoys from distant countries, and monks of the Hu religion over the years. In addition to the reclamation and construction by the Great Xia court over the years, it has created a prosperous and prosperous place in the Western Regions.

But in Baochangfang, located in the south of the city, a group of uninvited guests ushered in at this moment. More than 100 thugs broke into the workshop with knives and sticks. Run away with money, merchants close their doors.

"stop!"

At this moment, a sound of shouting was heard throughout the square, and a middle-aged man in white and fat, wearing a round-neck gown appeared and walked out. Kicked, knocked down nearly ten thugs in a few hits.

"Where did the rats dare to come to Baochang Society to commit murder?" The fat white man grabbed his wrist and twisted it with force, directly crippling the opponent's arm.

Just as the fat white man was about to show off his skills, suddenly an arrow shot through the air, the fat white man listened to the wind and moved, and the arrow was clamped between his fingers, which showed the essence of martial arts.

"Using bows and arrows in Quzhi City, do you really think that the Duhufu will turn a blind eye?" The fat white man raised his eyes and asked.

In the direction of the square gate, more than a dozen elite warriors filed in, surrounded by a young man in brocade clothes, domineering, and several other warriors bent their bows and pointed arrows at the fat white man, and they would shoot him to death as soon as he gave an order .

"Su Wangting, you privately set up gambling houses and brothels in Quzhi City, recruited fleeing refugees, and extorted foreign caravans. What will the Duhu Mansion think if all these things are exposed?" The hilt of the sword has a relaxed expression, not like a person who invaded the house at all.

"Mr. Wu, you and I do business together in Quzhi City, and we don't interfere with each other. There's no need to be so aggressive, right?" Su Wangting usually greets people with a smile, but now he doesn't smile at all.

On the contrary, Mr. Wu laughed softly: "The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Your Baochang Society has climbed up to the nobles in the court, and your business has become more and more prosperous in recent years. The newly built Lifang in Quzhi Nancheng according to the regulations of the imperial capital was stolen by you Su Wangting. , the monthly filial money alone is enough for you to earn a lot of money."

Su Wangting frowned slightly and his face was gloomy, but he didn't become angry because of this. Although what Mr. Wu said was true, Baochang Society did have a lot of property in Quzhi City, and it was useless to accumulate money these years.

However, in the final analysis, Su Wangting was just helping the nobles in the court. Without this self-knowledge, it would be impossible for Su Wangting and Baochang Society to grow in places like Quzhi City.

"Mr. Wu's Maocai club is full of masters and heroes. Who in the Western Regions doesn't know? It's Mr. Su who made Mr. Wu laugh." Su Wangting rolled his eyes and asked, "I heard...your father is the Duke of England? "

"The news is well-informed." Mr. Wu picked up the horsewhip, slapped his palms up and down, and glanced left and right at the same time, more than a dozen guards rushed behind Su Wangting, and there were also several barbarian archers on the heights on both sides, and the two sides were facing each other.

"It seems that the staff of Baochang Society have not been transferred by the Duhufu." Mr. Wu sighed.

Su Wangting clenched his hands slightly. Recently, horse thieves and demons in the Western Regions have made a commotion.And because there are many people under the Baochang Society, many of them are scouts who are good at tracking and hunting, and they were taken away by the Duhu Mansion a few days ago.

Right now, the Baochang Society is empty, if in normal times, Su Wangting can command four or five hundred thugs with a single sentence, how can this Mr. Wu be allowed to speak nonsense?

"Huh? Where's Cheng Sanwu, the most powerful under your command? Isn't he here?" Mr. Wu pretended to be puzzled, but couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

Su Wangting's heart sank, the Baochang Society was so big in Quzhi City and the Western Regions that it had to use martial arts, and Cheng Sanwu was the person he relied on the most.

Whenever he encountered any difficult opponent, Su Wangting would let Cheng Sanwu go out.A few years ago, a group of barbarian bandits came from Kubera City in the west, claiming to be the Twelve Wugou Envoys, and robbed a batch of goods from Baochang Society in spite of the rules.

Knowing this, Su Wangting sent Cheng Sanwu to "ask for an explanation."So Cheng Sanwu went to Kubera City on his own, and in one night he took the heads of all the robbers and hung their heads on the city to demonstrate.

According to common sense, whether it is Cheng Sanwu or the Twelve Wugou Envoys, such actions are prohibited by military offenders. However, Hu and Han live together in the Western Regions and have different customs. Army town soldiers and horses will not move lightly.

Moreover, Baochang Society also provided money management to the Duhu Mansion in Quzhi City. Experts like Cheng Sanwu can also restrain some small-timers who are not on the stage, saving the government a lot of trouble.

It happened that an important matter passed through the Western Regions recently, Su Wangting received instructions from the nobles of the court, so he sent Cheng Sanwu to meet the escort, but unexpectedly let this Mr. Wu take advantage of it.

"Mr. Wu is here to discuss business?" Su Wangting's expression was as usual, and there was no trace of anxiety or panic.

"Indeed, I'm also a businessman." Mr. Wu showed a ferocious smile, "But I prefer to do business without money."

As soon as these words fell, the hairs on the back of Su Wangting's neck stood on end, and he suddenly felt that the murderous intent was approaching, and he instinctively moved around to avoid the knife in the back of himself.

"You——" Su Wangting turned to look at a guard, his thoughts flashed, and he immediately guessed that this person was bribed by Mr. Wu to spy on the situation of Baochang Society, and to attack him secretly when necessary.

Without further words, the warrior next to Mr. Wu immediately released an arrow, and Su Wangting raised his hand and flicked it lightly, his palms faintly appeared silver-gray, like pig iron, easily blocking the flying arrows.

"Go!" Young Master Wu swung his whip and pointed, and a warrior jumped out on the left and right, holding a horse-slashing long sword that was nearly a person's height.

Su Wangting immediately recognized that this was passed down in the army. Those who practiced this kind of horse-slashing swordsmanship were all brave and strong. If they were not guarding the camp of the Chinese army, they were arranging warlords to suppress the formation. Winner.

The warrior with long sword attacked from left to right, and Su Wangting pushed his iron palm horizontally. He usually looked at the plump, gentle and kind-hearted Baochang Club, but now he was furious. clang.

The long sword swiped obliquely, smashing the edge of the sleeve, Su Wangting let out a deep cry, and the strength in his palm was like a tide, the two long sword warriors felt that the palm strength of the other was like a high wall, pressing towards them.

Knowing that something was wrong, the two of them withdrew and retreated, avoiding the strength of the powerful palms, and then stamped their feet, using the Zhanmajian to stab at each other with long spears.

Being so alert and responsive, Su Wangting knew that these two sword warriors were by no means ordinary people, and they were also high-grade school lieutenants in the army.This kind of people followed Mr. Wu to deal with him, this time it was completely ruined.

At the same time, other warrior fighters under Mr. Wu's command rushed forward, and there was a sudden sound of killing and arrows flying in the square.

Su Wangting himself was proficient in martial arts, but he still had no time to pay attention to the fierce attacks of two longsword warriors. He could only swing a pair of iron palms.

"Worthy of being the successor of Thunder Shou Iron Palm, he can catch the horse-slaying long sword with his bare hands without any damage." Seeing that the two sides were fighting in full swing, Mr. Wu praised him and pulled out the golden sword from his waist.

Su Wangting was frightened and furious, he had seldom made a move in the past, and the Thunder Shou Iron Palm he inherited was not a well-known high school, but this Mr. Wu was able to tell the truth easily, so it can be seen that the other party has already figured out his background The origin is completely prepared.

Seeing that the hands of Baochang Society were being killed one after another, and the defeat was set, Su Wangting didn't intend to hang on to the end, so he missed a hole, and drew his two swords close to stab his chest, and then he clasped his palms together, clamped the two horse-slaying long swords tightly, and slammed With internal strength, the two warriors dropped their long swords.

"Come on!"

At this time, Mr. Wu shouted loudly, and the golden sword felt awe-inspiring chill, and with a twisting edge, it went straight to Su Wangting's face.

Su Wangting retreated a few steps, then turned sideways to avoid the fatal blow, and at the same time sneaked down, trying to attack the enemy and save him.

The Iron Palm's attack was quick and fierce, right in the ribs of Mr. Wu, [-]% of the force of the palm poured out in one fell swoop, even a strong bull would have its tendons and bones broken and its viscera rotted by this palm.

However, the strength of the palm came out, and it instantly disintegrated, like a soft goose feather being caressed, but it failed to hurt Mr. Wu in the slightest.

"Spell?!"

Su Wangting was horrified for a moment, this Mr. Wu must have been blessed by magic, otherwise he would definitely not be able to dissipate the inner strength of Iron Palm so easily.

At this time, Mr. Wu also showed a triumphant smile, three kicks hit the lower abdomen, jaw, eyebrows and forehead in one go, and kicked Su Wangting to the ground.

"How? Are you convinced now?" Mr. Wu couldn't help feeling pleased when he saw Su Wangting curled up on the ground.

"careful!"

Just when Mr. Wu was relaxing, a warrior raised his voice to warn, Su Wangting grabbed Mr. Wu's ankle with lightning speed, tripped him and fell to the ground.

Mr. Wu didn't expect the other party to come up with such a trick, and fell heavily. Su Wangting took the opportunity to get up and jump, braving the arrows above, and forcibly rushed out of Lifang.

"Chasing! Bring him back, dead or alive!" Mr. Wu was greatly humiliated, and ordered harshly.

……

The majestic Tianshan Mountains, covered with white snow condensed into eternal glaciers, undulate for thousands of miles, and the towering male peaks tower like pillars. If you can overlook them from the sky, you can't help but wonder whether these mountains and rivers were chiseled by magical craftsmen?

At the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a large lake formed by the accumulation of melted glaciers, which is so deep and wide that it seems to be hanging on the top of the mountain among the clouds. The world calls it Tianchi.

The Tianchi here is where the rivers and rivers in the lower reaches originate, and it is said that there are dragons hiding in it.Every morning and evening, the surface of Tianchi Lake is steamed with clouds and mist, and there are occasional winds and thunders, frost and snow, and ordinary people dare not approach it.

What outsiders don't know is that the vicinity of Tianchi Lake is not completely deserted, and a palace carved out of mountains is located here.

Outside the stone gate of the main hall, dozens of people stood and waited. They were dressed in different colors and formed in small groups. Some were meditating and paying attention to others, while some were talking with each other and discussing important matters——

"I don't understand. Since we already know the whereabouts of the Mani Pearl, why don't you just send someone to seize it?" A Hu warrior asked.

"The leader has already made arrangements, but do you think it's easy?" A rich businessman in a sable fur cloak answered the conversation: "Although the man who escorted the Mani beads came from the White Horse Club, after many investigations, this trading company It was founded by the prime minister of the Great Xia court in private."

"What does the Great Xia court want Mani beads for?" Hu warriors were very annoyed, and two white mist sprayed out from their nostrils, which showed a deep breath: "Hmph! We built temples and preached things as usual a few years ago, but it turned out that the Great Xia emperor As soon as he ascended the throne, he issued an order to ban laws and destroy the temple, which shows that he has no respect for the Great Bright Lord!"

Next to him was a tall and thin Han man with an ancient appearance. He said with a twist of his beard: "Da Xiazi has many emotions such as ignorance, anger, arrogance, and fornication. He is a first-class filthy demon in the world. It is difficult for me to suffer from the teachings of Mingzun's wonderful Dharma and Mani's Supreme Wisdom."

The Han man's tone was up and down, and he shook his head when he spoke. He didn't look like a believer in Hujiao, but he looked like a school master.

The wealthy businessman wiped off the thin frost on his beard, concealed his embarrassment, and continued: "No matter what, the Mani beads are sacred objects of my teaching, and they cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. I have already sent my men to intercept them."

The Hu warrior showed contempt on his face: "With just a few people under your command, can you stop them?"

"Wouldn't it be that you were asked to take those black wolf soldiers to block the trade route?" The rich businessman sneered, "Don't forget, the chief guards of the four towns don't intend to let you go. We must face Xia Ting's encirclement and suppression!"

The barbarian warrior was about to have a fit, when the stone gate of the palace slowly opened, and an old man with long beard and white robe and crown came out, holding a bronze staff.

As the old man walked out, flames rose from the top of the eagle-winged copper staff in his hand, and light and warmth enveloped the outside of the hall, protecting everyone present from the severe cold and snow in the mountains.

"See the leader!" Everyone outside the hall stopped arguing and bowed to the old man.

The leader of the white robe didn't talk nonsense, he looked at the wealthy businessman and said, "Kangfudi, the five teams you sent all failed."

The wealthy businessman immediately lowered his head, his expression extremely ugly: "The subordinates will definitely send more capable manpower later, must stop the Baima Club caravan, and take back the sacred objects of my teaching!"

"You have tried your best, but you just encountered an accident." The leader of the white robe said, "Just now I saw it with Miaoming's eyes. The White Horse Society was about to be destroyed, but it was suddenly rescued by a master from the Baochang Society."

"Baochang Society?" Kang Fudi was slightly startled: "Could it be that the master is called Cheng Sanwu?"

"It seems that this person is quite famous." The leader of the white robe nodded slightly.

"This guy is the number one master of the Baochang Society. His subordinates found out that he had committed serious crimes in the Central Plains, so he fled to the Western Regions and took shelter of the Baochang Society." Kang Fudi quickly explained.

"It seems that I have underestimated him too." The leader of the white robe said, "I just released a corpse vulture to chase after him, and I was also beheaded by this person."

The congregation below looked at each other in dismay, but the white-robed leader was calm and unhurried: "Now they are taking my religious relics deep into the vast sea and desert, intending to hide their traces instead of going straight to Quzhi City. This will make it easier for us to do things. Right now Chaos has broken out in various parts of the Western Regions, and it is used as a cover. As long as the sacred objects are taken back, the revival of our religion will be just around the corner! In the future, you will all be bathed in the grace of the Great Bright Lord and enjoy boundless blessings!"
