From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 75: I Delay Them
At yin time the next day, Shen Lian led his men out of Xuancheng and headed for eastern Guangdong. Jia Wei did not set out until chen time.

They traveled day and night and finally arrived at Yong'an City three days later. Further ahead was Miao land, which was both a gathering place for the Miao people and a frontier of the Han Dynasty. The imperial court was weak there, so Jia Wei decided to rest before going deeper.

In the inn, Jia Wei had just finished bathing when the waiter knocked on the door. He bowed and handed over a roll of paper: "Sir, a hero just asked me to pass this note to you."

Jia Wei was suspicious, for he didn't know anyone here. The Jinyiwei were travelling so fast, so it was impossible for anyone to follow them.

Could it be Dongfang Bubai? This is the only possibility.

Jia Wei took the note and opened it after closing the door. There was only one line of beautiful small words on it: "Fulai Inn, Dizi Private Room, Xue Tuo, the incense master of Tianfeng Hall of Sun Moon Divine Sect."

"Is this the message from the person who sent the sword?" Jia Wei pondered for a moment and ruled out the possibility that it was a trap.

As the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai didn't have to do it himself to give the sword to a gift.

Jia Wei burned the note with an oil lamp, changed into casual clothes, opened the window, flew out, and ran on the empty and deserted streets.

Quarter of an hour later, Jia Wei found the Fulai Inn and continued looking for the No. 1 private room.

"Why does this feel so familiar?"

Jia Wei habitually touched his cuffs, but felt nothing. Since entering the capital, he has not carried poison with him. As for becoming a first-class official, he has no use for this thing.

When Jia Wei arrived outside the private room, he thought of another question. Xue Tuo might just be a courier, and Dongfang Bubai might have arranged other plots...

Jia Wei thought about it, walked silently into the corridor, and knocked on the door of the private room.

"Who!" The people in the house were very alert.

"Jia Wei."

Seeing that there was no sound in the private room, Jia Wei shook his head. He gathered all his internal strength to protect his body and pushed the door open with a palm.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a bald strong man with his eyes wide open, punching with his sandbag-sized fists.

Xue Tuo punched Jia Wei on the chest, but Jia Wei had already used his luck to protect his body, and the force bounced back along the same path. With a crackling sound, a bone broke, and Xue Tuo's fist softened instantly. He took several steps back before he could stabilize himself.

"So he's just a little scoundrel." Jia Wei shook his head slightly, "Where's the Heavenly Sword?"

Xue Tuo gritted his teeth and asked fiercely: "Did Dongfang Bubai send you here?"

Listening to this conversation, Jia Wei guessed some of the plot. Could it be that Xue Tuo stole the Heavenly Sword from the Sun Moon Sect and defected?

After going through so much trouble, the Sword of the Heavenly Sword was even cleaned... Isn't Dongfang Bubai too reliable?
Jia Wei didn't waste any words. He stepped forward and slapped Xue Tuo on the chest. Xue Tuo not only did not dodge, but also opened his mouth and took Jia Wei's attack.

Jia Wei only felt that his palm was hitting a piece of fine steel. Before he could react, Xue Tuo swung a sweeping punch at him, and Jia Wei quickly stepped back.

"Golden Bell Cover, Iron Cloth Shirt? Another set of external martial arts?" Jia Wei thought of Zhao Wuji who had been beaten to death before, "I don't believe that I can't break your tortoise shell!"

Xue Tuo glanced at Jia Wei and suddenly rushed towards the bed. Jia Wei instantly realized that he was going to take the Sword of the Heavenly Sword!
Jia Wei dodged and followed, he gathered all his strength, his palm fell lightly, and when it was about to reach Xue Tuo's back, he exploded instantly.

Bone-turning cotton palm!

A palm strike came down, and Xue Tuo fell down, crushing the bed. Jia Wei immediately jumped away, only to see a black palm print left on Xue Tuo's back.

Xue Tuo climbed up, and saw a flash of cold light in the house. Xue Tuo drew out the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and ran towards Jia Wei. Suddenly, his steps staggered... Xue Tuo felt his legs become weak, and after two clicks, he fell to his knees, and the Sword of the Heavenly Sword fell out.

"What kind of Kung Fu is this..." Before Xue Tuo could finish his words, the flesh on his face began to dissolve, his bones were broken, and his internal organs were shattered.

[…You have gained eighteen years of skills, please choose! ]

Jia Wei picked up the Sword of Heavenly Sword and slashed it with his hand. A stream of sword energy shot out, leaving a deep mark on the floor and cutting through the wall. Only the Sword of Heavenly Sword could have such power. After Jia Wei verified its authenticity, he sheathed the Sword of Heavenly Sword.

He took a look at the corpse that was gradually turning into blood, broke the window and quickly moved away.

On the way, Jia Wei suddenly saw a bright light across the sky, and a moment later he heard a shrill whistling sound.

Jia Wei frowned slightly, that was a whistling arrow.

The Mingdi Arrow, also known as the Noisy Arrow, made a loud piercing noise when it was fired. The Jinyiwei also loaded it with gunpowder, similar to a flare.

Have any of the Jinyiwei encountered enemies?
Jia Wei felt something was strange, so he turned around and ran towards the direction of the whistling arrow.

On the way, he heard the sound of galloping horses, which was very abrupt in the silent night.

Jia Wei knew that it was also a team of Jinyiwei going to provide support, so he quickly chased after them.

He caught up with the team led by Lu Wenzhao at an intersection, and Jia Wei asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Wenzhao said, "My Lord, Captain Lu who was patrolling in the city just now fired a whistling arrow. Maybe he caught Wei Ao!"

Without waiting for Jia Wei to speak, a tactful Jinyiwei gave up his horse, and Jia Wei rode on it and led the team to provide support.

They rushed all the way to a large courtyard, where they saw chaos at the gate and corpses all over the ground, half of whom were Jinyiwei.

When Jia Wei heard a fight coming from the courtyard, he jumped over the wall and saw several Jinyiwei being besieged by men in black, all covered in blood.

Jia Wei immediately flew into the crowd, and swept out with the Yitian Sword without drawing its sheath. The swords and knives in the hands of the men in black were cut off, and they retreated several steps and dared not move forward.

Lu Jianxing saw who was coming, and he covered his chest and said, "I have done a poor job, please forgive me, Master."

Jia Wei asked, "Who are they?"

Lu Jianxing said, "I and others discovered the East Factory's thugs and followed them all the way here. It is very likely that Wei Ao is in the house."

Lu Wenzhao also led his men into the yard and confronted the men in black, waiting for Jia Wei's orders.

The men in black dispersed, and suddenly several figures jumped down from the second floor, led by a beautiful woman, and there were two men, holding a sword and shield and a wolf-toothed club respectively.

Lu Wenzhao shouted, "Who is it?"

The woman ignored him and looked at Jia Wei: "What sword are you holding?"

Jia Wei ignored her. He glanced at the Miao Dao in Lu Wenzhao's hand that was nearly as tall as a person, and then looked at the small Miao Dao in the woman's hand, as if he remembered something.

Jia Wei asked, "Is Wei Ao in there?"

The woman looked cold and aloof, with some heroic features, but when she smiled she looked like a big sister next door. "Uncle, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Lu Jianxing also said: "Wei Ao is probably inside."

All the Jinyiwei were on full alert. Lu Wenzhao stepped forward and stood in front of Jia Wei.

"I will hold them back. Lord, you kill Wei Ao first..."

"bass!"

Lu Wenzhao's words stopped abruptly, and Jia Wei pulled out the short knife from the waist of the Jinyiwei beside him and inserted it into Lu Wenzhao's lower back.
