Otherworld Qin

Chapter 52 Who is behind the scenes
Cheng Xuan was almost knocked down by the sudden extreme exhaustion. The violent outburst just now seemed to drain all the energy in his body. When he was excited, he didn't feel anything. These are all very energy-consuming things. He suddenly felt that his body was floating, and even his feet were rootless when he walked. He staggered back to the table and sat down. Before he could bring the wine bowl to his mouth, he Already lying on the table and fell asleep.

Everyone was shocked when they saw him swaying, thinking that he was seriously injured in the fight just now, they rushed over and asked, "What's wrong with him?" "It feels like something is wrong, don't worry." You won’t die, will you?” “Are you still panting after looking at it?”

A sudden burst of snoring gave everyone a powerful answer, everyone was stunned for a moment and then dispersed, "Tch, I thought this kid was plotted against, but he fell asleep." I can’t do it if I’m in the mood to sleep.” The other person hurriedly laughed and said, “I think this kid is weak, but he actually challenged the plague god. He probably just recovered from his nerves and passed out from fright.” The tavern The room was filled with coaxing laughter, but the alcoholic drank without paying attention, only Xiaotong carefully covered him with the cloak.

Everyone thought that this kid would probably sleep all night, but he jumped up suddenly within a quarter of an hour. He had never been hunted down for days before. Why did this happen this time?Cheng Xuan was also puzzled, but vaguely felt that there seemed to be a strange force in his body, and hurriedly calmed down to investigate carefully, only to find out that it was the ice battle qi used by Jun Moyan, and there was also a vague ice magic. The energy is fluctuating, and the ice internal force in the dantian is running rapidly to dissolve these external forces.

Although I don't quite understand what's going on, the internal strength in my body saved him from danger at the critical moment in the fierce battle just now, but the sequelae of deep sleep at this time may also be a major disadvantage. If another enemy comes up at this time, I'm afraid I will resist a little bit ability is gone.

The drunkard looked at him, then swung his neck and gulped down the wine, then stood up, "Okay, that's it for today, the fat old man has caused you trouble today, thank you for the good wine." Raising his hands, "Let's go." He led the two of them out of the tavern.

When we got back to the small courtyard, the drunkard said to Xiao Tong, "Go ahead and get something to eat." Then he said to Sheng Xuan, "I promised to teach you a set of martial arts before, but I never thought of what to teach. I watched your fight today." I feel like I should teach you a set of palm techniques, so as not to fight as badly as today when you encounter bare-handed combat in the future." When Sheng Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at him, and then said angrily, "I still remember it, I don't even remember it. I don’t intend to mention this to you.”

The drunkard directly ignored this sentence, and then set up a posture in the open space of the courtyard, "I'll only fight once, and it's your luck to learn as much as you can." Just as the drunkard was about to make a move, Sheng Xuan suddenly shouted, "Wait!" Wait." Then he quickly took out the reflection crystal from the ring, pointed it at the alcoholic and infused it with magic power before shouting "Let's start."

The drunkard glanced sideways and couldn't help being slightly surprised, "You can't even see this thing, I don't know how many treasures you haven't brought out." Then he started to play a set of palms slowly in the courtyard.

The speed of this set of palms is very slow, and every move is crooked, without any power at all. The most annoying thing is that every time you make a palm and kick your legs are not straight, and the joints of the limbs are very close, just It's like a disabled person can't let go of his body.

The drunkard hit more and more slowly, and the last person who saw Sheng Xuan was about to fall asleep, and finally finished this set of palm techniques, then the drunkard stood up straight and walked up the steps, "Whether you can understand it or not depends on your ability, even if you have a reflection crystal Write it down, but it’s useless if you can’t understand the true meaning.” Then he went straight into the house and went to tease Doudou with Xiaotong.

Relying on his memory, Sheng Xuan slowly began to practice this set of palms. Although it looked crooked, he didn't expect to be so tired from fighting. After he managed to walk this set of palms roughly, he was already sweating a little.

Sheng Xuan couldn't help laughing inwardly, it seems that this set of palms is the same as running and fighting against the jar, it should be a set of martial arts to exercise the body, but it's good to hit it twice when you're free, at least it's good for your body.

Now that he took out the reflection crystal, Shengxuan simply stored today's battle with Jun Mowen in it, and then reflected the image on the wall, watching Jun Mowen's moves little by little, and then thought about using it himself What move to crack would be better.

Suddenly a strange feeling came to my heart, if I used the set of palms taught by the drunkard just now, the crooked steps just avoided the attack, but the crooked hands and feet just blocked the attack and hit the target at the same time. On the opponent's joints, this discovery surprised him immediately, and he hurriedly released the set of palms to watch carefully. He really became more and more surprised the more he looked at it, he couldn't help rushing into the room in two steps, and asked anxiously to the drunkard, "Teacher, What is this set of palms called? Can you teach me carefully?"

The drunkard put down the Doudou in his hand, and thought for a while, "I just said that I can only teach this set of palms once, and you have to slowly understand the rest, and I can tell you that this is not just a one-time exercise. Palm palm technique, well, that's all I can say." After finishing speaking, he got up and was about to go upstairs, Sheng Xuan quickly dodged to block his way, "I beg you, teacher, please teach me carefully." The drunkard Turning around lightly, he avoided him, and then went straight upstairs, Shengxuan had no choice but to ask, "What is the name of this palm technique, you should tell me." The drunkard walked up a few steps and then stopped, "What is it called?" It doesn't matter, you can call it whatever you like, remember to use it in the future and don't say that I taught you."

Since then, Shengxuan practiced hard every day, and gradually understood some essentials, but he still didn't understand why alcoholics get bigger and slower. Isn't it better to fight fast and slow when facing the enemy?

In a blink of an eye, the holiday was approaching again, and Shengxuan still planned to find Caier, but this time when he walked into the Chilong Chamber of Commerce, he felt that the atmosphere was quite different. With a sad look on his face, he hurried up to the top floor to look for Helian Zan. The attendants outside the door saw that it was him, so they didn't stop him, but when he opened the door, he saw Helian Zan covered in bandages. chat.

When the two of them saw him walking in, they stopped talking, and He Lianzan waved to him, "Brother is back, come and sit down, are you going to see your little friend again this holiday?" At this time, Shengxuan was in a mood Talking about this, it was obvious that Helianzan wanted to change the topic first, so he didn't ask him and asked Ba Le directly, "What's going on? I saw that the business of the chamber of commerce has also decreased and you are also injured. What the hell happened?"

Bale looked at him and then at Helianzan. Helianzan was silent for a while before nodding lightly, "Tell him, this matter will soon spread throughout Karin, and there's no point in hiding it now. I'm afraid when the time comes There is no Chilong Chamber of Commerce in Guzhu anymore."

Shengxuan couldn't help buzzing his head when he heard this. Obviously, this matter is of great importance, otherwise he would not have such a plan. After hearing Helian Zan's words, Bale told the whole story, "We bought it from Qiling this time. A thousand war horses and a large amount of spices were planned to be sent to Qingqiu. At the same time, another team of ours brought over a large number of weapons and exquisite utensils ordered in Qingqiu. The two teams secretly exchanged goods on the way, and then the team The people returned to Guzhu, and we sent them directly to Yunshan City to complete the transaction, but we never expected that at the time of the exchange of goods, we had [-] brothers at that time, but [-] brothers went to Qinghai first because of other important matters. Qiu, as soon as they left, they suddenly killed a group of people without saying a word. Although we resisted with all our strength, the opponent had thousands of people, and they defeated us in one fell swoop, and all the goods were robbed. "Balle said, here Helian Zan interrupted and continued, "This batch of spices and exquisite utensils are all ordered by major merchants in Lone Bamboo. These alone are worth millions of gold coins, and those horses and weapons are more than two thousand gold coins. , Lost nearly [-] gold coins of goods at once, and the reputation of our Chilong Chamber of Commerce has also been greatly damaged. I am afraid that we are really unable to support this. As soon as the news spreads, those cooperative merchants will come to collect debts one after another. We’re going out of business at this point.”

Shengxuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard this, because there were obvious loopholes in some links, so he directly asked, "This batch of goods is so important, why do you need to send people to Qingqiu to deliver the goods?" He Lianzan looked at it Looking at him and then at Balak, Balak shook his head slightly, obviously not wanting to tell him everything.

He Lianzan smiled wryly, "At this time, there is nothing to hide. Let me tell you the truth. The reason why Qingqiu's weapons are so good is because of Qiling's magic crystal. Qingqiu has a secret technique that can destroy the magic crystal. The power of the weapon is integrated into the weapon, so this time we brought this magic crystal among the goods we brought from Qiling, and this time we brought a total of 2000 million gold coins of magic crystal."

Shengxuan couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. It is true that only Qiling can produce magic crystals. This explanation is more reasonable. Those batches of magic crystals are valuable, otherwise they would not send so many people to escort them, "Since there are those batches of magic crystals Jingzai, I think we can turn around a bit."

Ba Le smiled wryly, "None of the brothers who escorted the magic crystal came back, and the goods were also robbed." Hearing this, Sheng Xuan's heart fell to the bottom. It seems that this matter is far less serious than robbery. Simple, the other party not only has a clear grasp of the transportation route, but also knows what kind of goods they are escorting.

"I think there is an inner ghost." Hearing this, Barrett said angrily, "Impossible, these brothers have lived and died with me for many years, and it is impossible for the inner ghost to come out." He Lianzan nodded when he heard the inner ghost. "Maybe the inner ghost is not from your side, but from my side. Several people in this operation will know. Although they will not be the inner ghost, there is no guarantee that they will not leak their words."

"It's unlikely that you'll slip up, because even if you slip up, it's impossible for the other party to grasp such details." The two couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. I will definitely make a move in the end, and the magic crystal will definitely be secretly transported to Qingqiu and then dismantled and sold, and where do you think the batch of weapons and horses are most likely to go?"

Helianzan thought for a long time and suddenly said, "Yunshan City?" "I think they will contact our original buyers for such a large amount of goods. If so, we will go to Yunshan City and wait for them." Ba Le smiled wryly, "Now I Even if we can find them, we are no match for the dead and wounded of the brothers under our command."

"Can't we ask the royal family to borrow troops?" He Lianzan hastily retorted as soon as Sheng Xuan said it, "I'm afraid not. We are trying our best to suppress this matter now, but we are afraid that we will not be able to suppress it. If we borrow troops from the royal family, it will be all at once." Do you understand?"

Shengxuan suddenly thought of the tavern, where there are at least a few hundred people who often go in and out, don't underestimate these hundreds of people, all of them are masters, if there is a real fight, tens of thousands of people might not be their opponents, he couldn't help saying confidently "I can think of a way to solve the manpower. Now the main thing is whether I can catch up with them."

Shengxuan asked the two to arrange other things first, mainly to rush to Qingqiu immediately to contact those big weapon workshops. I believe that only those big workshops can buy those magic crystals. Time trading, I believe it is not difficult.

On the other hand, he rushed to the tavern of the college. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the alcoholic sitting and drinking, so he hurried over, "Teacher, I want to gather a group of people." "Huh? What are you doing?" Hearing this, he didn't take it seriously, "I think you should refrain from meddling in this matter, because things are far from as simple as you think. You must know that I haven't heard of bandits with thousands of people, and the way these people do things is probably Regular army, do you want to be an open enemy of the army?"

This sentence was like a ladle of cold water, and it immediately chilled Shengxuan inside and out. He didn't think about it at all. The Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with the royal family, so how could there be an army to attack them?But He Lianzan has a brotherhood with him, and he can't just leave him dead anyway.

Seeing Sheng Xuan's firm attitude, the alcoholic didn't stop him anymore, "If you want to recruit someone, just stick a note on the wall over there, but these guys are not cheap, you'd better prepare gold coins before you talk, otherwise they won't be able to take it." If you get money, you will eat people." Shengxuan didn't care about this when the situation was urgent, and he simply had more than 1 gold coins on him, which He Lianzan gave to him back then, so he secretly took them out, and then borrowed banknotes from the boss I wrote a recruitment notice and posted it on the wall.

Strictly speaking, these masters should be regarded as mercenaries, but Guzhu does not have a mercenary system, so they can only be regarded as thugs.

Soon Shengxuan gathered more than 300 people, and cleverly dismissed some unknown guys under the suggestion of the drunkard, and then led these people to live in Cuiwei City near Karin. He and Ba Le rushed here, bringing only a few dozen people with them.

Shengxuan asked He Lianzan's dozens of people to ride fast horses to inquire about news along the way, and cleverly divided these 300 people into dozens of small teams, and let them each go to Yunshan City. Before everyone reached Yunshan, news came back that several caravans were found on the road, and the goods they brought were probably the ones that Chilong lost.

This news can't help but cheer everyone up. It seems that they haven't had time to sell these goods, so the hope of recovering them is much greater.

Shengxuan immediately contacted dozens of people to quickly attach these caravans, and then followed them all the way to Yunshan City. When he saw that the goods were parked in the warehouse, he seemed to be waiting for the buyer to pick them up. Instruct people to keep an eye on these goods 24 hours a day.

After several days of waiting patiently, a group of mysterious merchants finally appeared in Yunshan City, but they were not Jingman people. They were immediately recognized as three Miao warriors, and some of them with cloaks covering their faces must be wizards.

This result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Originally, it was thought that Jing Man wanted to swallow the goods and then contact Gu Zhu's staff to make the case, but how did it involve San Miao in the end?But no matter who is involved, this batch of goods must be brought back, otherwise the Chilong Chamber of Commerce will go bankrupt.

If you make gestures here, the Lone Bamboo army will be alarmed, but it will be hard to tell if the dirt will turn into robbery at that time, but once the goods leave Yunshan City, they will enter the Sanmiao territory, and there may be a large army waiting there. What should I do next?
In desperation, Shengxuan had no choice but to discuss with the masters in the tavern, who knew that these people didn't think so, and they had the intention of taking this opportunity to go deep into Sanmiao to rob, and he couldn't help but make him smile. This idea really fits their character. They are all masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth.

In this case, Shengxuan simply decided to let 200 people enter the Undead Mountain to ambush first, then asked He Lianzan's men to keep an eye on the goods, and let the remaining 100 people keep an eye on the sellers. If you don't take advantage of this time to dig out the real culprit, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future.

After everything was arranged properly, they waited for the transaction between the two parties. Finally, in the early morning of the third day, the two parties completed the transaction in a secret warehouse, and then the seller left Yunshan City directly. They left the city smoothly with a few large boxes of gold and silver treasures, and those guards even gave a standard military salute to the leader.

However, this team had just walked out of Yunshan City within a hundred miles, and was intercepted and killed by Shengxuan's men on a mountain road. Under Bale's command, except for the leader who was captured alive, the rest of the more than 500 people were all wiped out. Baler directed the Chamber of Commerce's subordinates to clean up all traces, and then returned to Karin with the treasure and the prisoner.

Bale couldn't help but admire the group of people that Shengxuan had recruited. Although they looked loose on weekdays, they were all extremely ruthless when they started to fight. Moreover, most of these people were familiar with each other's characteristics, and it was even better to cooperate with each other. It was flawless, facing more than 500 opponents who were not weak, but they were all settled by them three times and two times. Except for a few sneak attacks and injuries by cold hands, no one on my side died.

At this time, Shengxuan and Helianzan had already caught up with the goods. When the trucks left Yunshan City, they turned to Sanmiao territory, and there was a cavalry team of 2000 people in the territory. Shengxuan let Helianzan He led people to continue to follow quietly, and he himself rushed to the place where the 200 people were ambush. When he led people to catch up with the secret mark left by Helian Zan, the convoy just happened to enter a mountain col, and the narrow and rugged mountain surrounded the Sanmiao team. drawn into a line.

Shengxuan selected a few experts who were good at speed in the team, and rushed to the front of the team quickly. Since these carriages were extremely heavy, they couldn't move fast in this mountain depression, so they were quickly overtaken by them, and then Shengxuan let them Several people were optimistic about several wizards in the team, and with a loud roar, several people attacked almost at the same time, and several wizards turned into cold corpses before they could make a move, and then they quickly ran towards the mountain, attracting attention immediately. A group of Sanmiao warriors pursued, but the warriors in this mountain were gradually separated and quickly wiped out.

At this time, Helian Zan had already sent people to use large-scale magic to cut off the path of the Sanmiao army, and at the same time launched an attack from behind. The narrow and long col was not conducive to the cavalry charge at all, and the team of more than 3000 people could not be fully deployed. Without the firepower of wizards in the team, Helian Zan and others are no longer afraid of the attacks of warriors. The falling snow of several ice mages immediately wiped out the speed advantage of these warriors. Facing these attacks of magic and fighting spirit, there is almost no way to fight back. They were killed layer by layer by this group of masters, and they were all wiped out within an hour.

Miraculously, no one was killed in this battle, only a few people were injured by the arrows, and the injuries were not serious at all. Two thousand cavalry died and many horses were still standing beside their masters, and they were all gathered by He Lianzan and others Come here, besides riding on your own, many of the rest are also harnessed to the carts. Each cart is assigned two horses. With the addition of these two horse-drawn carts, the speed of the cart is much faster. Before the Sanmiao reinforcements After catching up with them, they have rushed into Yunshan City first.

This time not only regained the lost goods, even the money paid by the buyer became Chilong’s income, but Qingqiu’s magic crystal has not been resolved, Shengxuan hastily distributed the wages to a group of masters , and let the injured go back to rest first, these people are obviously used to the business of using money to eliminate disasters, so there is no need to specifically ask them to keep their mouths shut, and they are not interested in talking about the harvest of thousands of gold coins per person thing.

After some streamlining, Shengxuan and He Lianzan led 150 masters and dozens of people from the chamber of commerce to wait for Jingman's deal in Yunshan. After getting the payment for the goods, nothing unexpected happened in the middle, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to escort the payment back to Karin, and then go to Qingqiu to deal with the magic crystal, but this time when he returned to Karin, he heard some little-known things.
