A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Chapter 87 Rushing, encountering on the road, robbing wealth

The first person in Jinting?

After hearing this, everyone present except Xi Beichen was shocked.

The Jin Dynasty had a population of tens of millions, and there were tens of millions of people practicing martial arts in the world.

However, at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, he destroyed mountains and temples, wiped out all major folk sects, and confiscated and destroyed martial arts classics. This resulted in the loss of many folk inheritances and a great setback in the development of martial arts;

In contrast, because Jin Ting collected hundreds of classics, he trained an endless stream of top masters, far better than the private sector.

In this case, what kind of strength does it take to be called the number one person in Jinting?

It’s not an exaggeration to call him the number one master in the world!

He had no idea that the Immortal Demon Queen had such terrifying cultivation. Li Jun asked eagerly:

"Then what? How did your master escape?"

Xi Beichen nodded and said seriously:

"There are many people in Master and his party who sacrifice their lives for righteousness. They bravely held off the old witch for a short time. One of them even directly lit the explosives tied to his body. Unfortunately, the witch was alert and could not blow her up on the spot.

However, this explosion also gave Master and the others a chance to breathe. In order to bring out the news, Master seized the opportunity and escaped from the palace with his heavily injured body, and issued a warning to his companions outside.

Later, some righteous men broke the situation with explosives on their bodies. Most of the other masters and other masters who were fighting with the shamans and other masters outside the palace were able to escape. One of them had a fatal friendship with the master and took the master away regardless of his own safety. The palace, successfully escaped from death.

But even if the master escaped, he was already seriously injured. Not only did he break his arm, he also suffered irreparable internal injuries, and he would not die soon. He knows that his time is short, and his only thought now is to see you before he dies."

Li Junxian immediately asked:

"Where is your master now, Tianjing or Jinjin?"

Xi Beichen sighed softly:

"A few days ago, Master and his group had taken advantage of the opportunity to return to Jinjin from Tianjing by steam train after the storm had passed, and asked me to come here to inform you. However, there are doctors with superb medical skills in our company who asserted that Master's life will be more than a month away. I wonder how he is doing now after all the hard work.”

steam train

Lu Yuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

Railways and even steam trains were naturally only born in the Jin Dynasty after the two Shinra invasion wars.

The first railway was a short-line railway built by the Shinra powers in the Magic City. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods at the port, it was only more than forty miles long from the concession to the port. It caused a great sensation in Jinting at that time. .

Having never seen such a steel behemoth, Jin Ting went from fear to acceptance. Later, in the top-down Shibai Reform, he fully studied the development of industry from the Shinra powers, and spent a lot of money to invite engineers from the Shinra powers to design and build his own. of railway.

One is from Tianjing to Hebei, and the other is from Tianjing to Jinjin. They are the only two long-line railways in the Jin Dynasty.

Upon learning of this situation, Li Jun did not hesitate:

"Okay, Beichen, please take a rest here. I will arrange the affairs in the garden and then go back with you. I hope I can make it in time!"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself what a coincidence.

He understood that Li Junxian was so urgent not just to see Lin Xingchao for the last time.

Lijun took only one of the healing pills he gave him and basically cured his old illness, but the other pill was not used yet. If he gave it to Lin Xingchao, he might be able to save his life!

Of course, the premise is that we must get to Jinjin as soon as possible before Lin Xingchao dies, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"So urgent?"

Fengyang Mansion is more than two thousand miles away from Jinjin, and it will take at least six or seven days to go all the way quickly. Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu both said in unison:

"Master, we will go with you!"

"No, one of you has to take care of Bo Theater and the other has to take care of Beitangtangkou. You can't leave for too long. Just ask A Yuan to come with me."

Li Junxian quickly said:

"It's the fact that Lei Huating's missing person is a hidden danger. I'll go find Pang Qinglong and ask him to take care of the theater during this period. Then we'll secretly leave through the secret passage. You can just declare to the outside world that I'm practicing martial arts in seclusion." Don't let the news of my departure leak out, lest Lei Huating learn about it and take advantage of it."

"Okay, master, don't worry."

Xu Dahu patted his chest:

"I will let my brothers get more food. If that bitch really dares to plot evil, he will be left without food!"

With the support of the Qinglong Gang, he could obtain a lot of firearms through the black market. The strength of the firearms was enough to make Lei Huating use them to a certain extent.

"Okay, that's it."

After all, Bo Xiyuan is the treasure trove of the Qinglong Gang. As the leader of the gang, Pang Qinglong will not sit back and let Lei Huating do whatever he wants. Li Jun first turned around and said:

"A Yuan, you pack your things here first, and we'll set off after I come back from Gang Leader Pang!"

Lu Yuan naturally nodded in agreement.

Although he originally planned to find an opportunity to leave the Expo after Li Jun recovered from his injury.

However, among the several places he had chosen to plan major events, important coastal cities such as Jinjin were also among them. This time he went with them to see what the situation there was and whether it could be used as a place for trouble.

After explaining to his three apprentices, Li Junxian immediately left the theater and went to the Qinglong Gang to look for Pang Qinglong.

Lu Yuan went to pack his luggage, Xu Erhu went to prepare meals for Xi Beichen who was traveling all the way, and Xu Dahu prepared horses, dry food, money, etc. for the trip.

And only half an hour later, Li Jun, who had gone out, left first and came back.

Then, the four masters and apprentices plus Xi Beichen had lunch in this small courtyard. Lu Yuan and Xi Beichen followed Li Jun to simply change their clothes, walked through the secret passage to another secret house, and then took out the things that Xu Dahu had prepared. Horses, march out of the city.

a few days later.

Ta da da, da da, da da.

The sun is setting in the west, the sunset is dusk, and the horses' hooves are rushing among the barren mountains and ridges.

With Xi Beichen as the leader, Li Junxian and Lu Yuan's master and apprentice closely behind him, the three of them rode fast on the dilapidated official road.

It was a long journey from Fengyang Mansion to Jinjin. The horses had limited physical strength and needed to eat and recuperate. The journey in one day was no more than three hundred miles, and the fastest route would take at least six or seven days one way.

Not to mention the current chaos in the world, most ordinary people have never left the land where they grew up in their entire lives. Their range of activities does not exceed a hundred miles from their own homes. It is even more difficult to travel far away. Inexperienced people may get lost even if they have maps and routes.

Fortunately, the three of them traveled lightly, and together with Xi Beichen, a veteran who followed Lin Xingchao back and forth, Lu Yuan and his party traveled smoothly for four or five days without any deviation in the route.

"Uu——!"

Seeing the sun setting in the west and the sky getting darker and darker, Xi Beichen, who was leading the way, pulled the reins, slowed down, turned around and said:

"Uncle."

"The nearest county seat is still fifty miles away. The city gate will be closed after dark and we won't be able to get in when we arrive. However, there is an abandoned inn ten miles ahead. We will stop there to rest tonight."

They were all martial arts practitioners, so it was nothing to live in the open. Li Jun nodded indifferently and said:

"it is good."

Subsequently.

The sun is setting, the light is getting dimmer,

After the group of three people hurriedly drove for more than ten miles, they finally saw the end of the wilderness road in front of them from a distance when the sky began to darken, and there was a small building alone.

It was an abandoned inn. I ran all the way and arrived at the door of the inn.

Lu Yuan glanced around and found that the place was surrounded by half-collapsed earth walls. Inside was a weathered and collapsed ruins, and behind the ruins was a dilapidated earth building that leaked from the air.

Xi Beichen expertly dismounted and entered first, and only waved after confirming that no one was there.

Lu Yuan and Li Jun entered it first. It was obvious that people often stayed here to rest, leaving many bonfires piled inside.

They simply cleaned up a corner of the hall, then sat on the floor and took out the dry food and water they had brought with them.

While everyone was eating, they were talking to each other.

But not long after, a faint human voice suddenly floated outside, and it became clearer and clearer. It seemed that someone was approaching here again.

Ok?

At this moment, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he and Xi Beichen walked out quickly and took a look at the broken wall, and saw a horse team moving quickly towards this side under the dark sky.

There are seven or eight people in the horse team and more than ten horses. Some of the unridden horses are carrying some goods on their backs. They seem to be a team of merchants.

These people soon arrived near the inn, and obviously discovered the wall, Lu Yuan and Xi Beichen.

At the head of the tall horse, a bearded man with a big sword on his back waved his hand warily, causing the entire cavalry to stop, and then stepped forward and shouted in a low voice:

"Who are the friends in the inn?"

Li Jun also came out to check. Xi Beichen was more experienced in following Lin Xingchao around, so he immediately raised his voice and responded:

"When you pass by and stop, the road faces the sky, everyone goes to one side!"

The man talking on horseback still did not let down his guard: "We are the bodyguard martial artists of the Wuhuafu Town Security Bodyguard Bureau. We are here to rest on our way back from business. I wonder if you can let me in for a look?"

"Horse bandits are rampant in this area. I'm afraid this person is worried that we have a problem, so he wants to confirm."

Xi Beichen explained to Lu Yuan, and then looked at the big man:

"This is not a family place, please do as you please."

The big man on horseback rode up alone and circled the inn quite cautiously.

This man is tall and strong, with powerful muscles, slightly bulging temples, and his expression and temperament all reveal that he is a master of martial arts, and at least he is in the realm of bone forging.

He also discovered through the damaged and weathered door wall that there was no ambush inside. He first bowed his hand to Xi Beichen, then turned around and said:

"You all come here."

Then, the people on the cavalry team at the rear stepped forward and dismounted, holding knives and leading the horses, and followed the bearded man into the inn one after another.

This group of people all wore the same black shorts, had sophisticated weapons, and had a strong temperament. None of them seemed to be below the level of muscle training.

but.

Under the watchful eyes of Lu Yuan and Xi Beichen, these people had just set up stakes, unloaded the goods, and settled the horses one after another.

Outside the inn, there was suddenly a rapid sound of horse hooves.

The leading martial artist leader of the escort agency was suddenly startled. He quickly came to the edge of the wall and saw a large group of people and horses galloping towards here under the dark sky in the distance, and howling like ghosts and wolves, full of malice.

"Oops!"

His expression suddenly changed:

"It's horse bandits, they've been following us!"

As soon as these words came out, the other seven escort martial artists drew their weapons one after another as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Two of them even pulled out two muskets from nowhere and came to the wall to prepare.

A few feet away, Li Junxian vaguely saw that many of the horse bandits running towards this direction also had long guns and short cannons, and they fired empty guns one after another in demonstration. He couldn't help but frown:

"With so many muskets that haven't traveled far for many years, are horse bandits already so rampant now?"

Xi Beichen sighed:

"Uncle, you don't know something. Nowadays, the world is not only about collusion between officials and businessmen, but also between officials and bandits. Whether it is Jinjin or other places, there must be traces of horse bandits on the trade routes. These people occupy the mountains for the king, rob houses, rape, and plunder. Officials either sit idly by or are bribed to turn a blind eye, so what does having a few guns with more than a dozen bullets mean in comparison?"

While the two were talking.

In the distance, people and horses were already approaching the inn amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves.

There were about twenty people in this group of horse bandits. Under the light of torches, most of them looked ferocious, and they were holding muskets of different lengths and pointed them at the people behind the wall.

The leader was a big one-eyed man with an eyepatch. He rode out on a horse amidst the cries and howls of his subordinates, and shouted slowly:

"Friends inside, please stop hiding. I, the one-eyed dragon, personally lead people out to look for food. Do you think you can escape?"

Naturally, Lu Yuan and the others knew nothing about the name of the one-eyed dragon, but the martial arts guards from the Zhen'an Escort Bureau obviously knew it. The leader, the bearded man, appeared from behind the tattered wall, reluctantly held up his hands and said with a smile:

"It turns out you are Brother One-Eyed Jiao, and we are the martial arts masters of the Zhen'an Escort Bureau. Our Escort Agency has dealt with you once before, and we never expected to meet you here tonight."

The one-eyed dragon is a new group of horse bandits that have emerged in this area.

His martial arts skills are so strong that he is said to have reached the realm of thunder and sound in the four realms. He is an outstanding person among the horse bandits.

In particular, compared to other horse bandits who only had two or three big cats and kittens and only a few scattered muskets, this person got more than ten muskets from nowhere and pulled out a team of horse bandits. Troubles are brewing in Washington, D.C., causing countless businessmen huge headaches.

But fortunately, this person is still abiding by the rules. Generally speaking, he only seeks wealth without harming his life. If he encounters someone, he will only take half of the property. If a group of merchants unfortunately encounters him, he will have to consider himself unlucky.

"So you've already dealt with me, so you should know the rules, right?"

The one-eyed dragon played with a box cannon in his hand, his one-eyed eyes filled with amusement and threats:

"I only want money but not my life. Let my people inspect it and only take half of all the goods. Otherwise"

Neither the One-Eyed Jiao himself nor his team with more than a dozen guns could handle it. The bearded man from the Zhenan Escort Bureau could only grit his teeth and agree:

"it is good!"

The one-eyed dragon waved his hand casually, and then several of his subordinates took the order and dismounted. They jumped over the wall and entered the inn with a smile, and began to search and inventory the goods escorted by the bearded man and others.

And at the same time.

The one-eyed dragon spotted Li Junxian, Lu Yuan and others on the other side of the wall, and couldn't help but ask the bearded man:

"These three people don't seem to be with you?"

The bearded man responded blankly: "I don't know them."

The one-eyed dragon smiled and immediately waved his hand:

"Very good, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. Let the two brothers go over and search to see if there is anything valuable!"

As soon as the words fell, two plain-looking horse bandits immediately took the order. They dismounted and walked toward Li Junxian and others with a smile.
