The new era strikes

Chapter 474 Sky Star City

Lu Tian didn't say much, and took the lead to rush out. Those who stood in front of him were hacked to death with one knife. Soon the blade curled up, and he changed the knife again.

He mainly protects the three brothers and sisters of the Song family, and the others try to protect them as much as possible. He is like a spike, breaking through the encirclement of bandits.

Wu Longtou was so angry that he yelled, but he couldn't stop Lu Tian. He could only watch a group of people go away. After chasing for several miles, he could only stop.

"Damn it, that brat from the Ye family didn't die, he came for nothing!"

A mouthful of blood was spit out from the oolong head, and his face was as gloomy as water, as if it was about to drip down.

He came to kill Ye Chen this time because he was requested by a big man, and the reward was to let him break through the innate realm and become a legendary great martial artist.

But now, everything is empty, and it is only one person who caused all this!

"I won't let you go!" Oolong's fists were clenched. He remembered Lu Tian's appearance. He couldn't help it now, but there was someone behind him!
"Bury the corpse and retreat immediately!" He arranged for his subordinates to deal with the battlefield, so that the dead brother's body could not be exposed to the wild.

At this time, Lu Tian and his men had already fled ten miles away, and they didn't stop until some people couldn't move anymore.

Lu Tian took a look. Except for Ye Chen, Ye Qisu, and Ma Jiatie, the three brothers and sisters of the Song family, only ten guards followed, and the others were all dead.

This time, the Ye family caravan was basically wiped out, and Ye Chen was in such a mess that he looked like a beggar.

"Brother Lu, thank you for saving my life!" Ye Chen didn't lose his composure, and thanked Lu Tian on the spot.

"Where are you going now? Is it Skystar City?" Lu Tian knew that there was a Skystar City nearby, but he didn't know about other places.

Ye Chen nodded: "There is a branch of the Ye family firm in Tianxing City, I need to go there and deal with this matter."

This time all the goods of the caravan were lost, and [-]% of the members were wiped out. Even if it was due to external reasons, he would bear a great responsibility.

He had to explain the matter clearly, otherwise he might completely lose the chance to compete for the Patriarch.

"Okay, I'll continue to be with you guys. I want some information on the cultivation world of Jin. Your firm should have it, right?"

"No problem, there are many such things in the business house, and you will definitely be satisfied." Lu Tian's ability to follow is the only good news at present, and Ye Chen will naturally not object.

Everyone found a hiding place to rest, Ye Qisu and others were seriously injured, if they ran again, they would probably die on the way.

"Brother Song, I've dragged you down this time. If I hadn't told you to follow, you wouldn't have encountered bandits," Lu Tian said to Song Yue with apology.

"No, Master Lu, I don't blame you, we are the ones following."

In front of Lu Tian, ​​Song Yue couldn't feel free to answer now, so he answered nervously.

"How far is your town from here?"

"It's nearly a hundred miles away, on the way to Skystar City."

Lu Tian nodded and didn't say anything else, as long as a few people go back safely.

After half an hour, everyone didn't dare to stay for long, for fear of being surrounded by more bandits.

Most of the team was wounded, and the speed could not be too slow, and it only advanced more than 60 miles in the evening.

As a last resort, the team could only stay overnight in the wild. Unfortunately, there was no water source, and most of them could only eat some dry food and fell asleep in hunger and thirst.

Lu Tian didn't sleep, he was full of energy, he could stay up for a few days, he watched the sky while watching the night, just like the outside world, there were many stars.

Even the positions of the stars are very similar to the outside world, which makes him wonder why this is so.

This space should exist in a way that he can't understand. Before reaching that realm, they are all in the fog.

There are often sandstorms in the Gobi, and there are few plants, so there is no way to live in it. It is a desert for thousands of miles.

What Lu Tian saw was only this place, he knew it was just the tip of the iceberg, other places in this world, powerful cultivation sects were waiting for him to understand.

The night was peaceful, the bandit didn't come again, or the oolong head didn't find a helper, and the team moved forward again at dawn.

This time the speed was much faster, and it took more than an hour to arrive at Song Yue's small town - Shanyue Town, which is also the origin of the names of the Song family brothers.

This small town is very simple, with sturdy folk customs, but it seems very poor, probably because it is close to the edge of the desert, and the conditions are not very good.

Although the town is not big, it has all kinds of internal organs. The group took a bath to heal their wounds, and then had a good meal, and they were finally safe for the time being.

The three brothers and sisters of the Song family also bid farewell to Lu Tian, ​​leaving with mixed emotions.

This time they got some money, and also encountered a life-and-death crisis. They were cleaned up and looked more energetic.

Although Ye Chen and the others fled in a hurry, they still carried a lot of belongings with them. They hired five carriages in the town and headed for Tianxing City from the official road.

Lu Tian has also thoroughly seen the lives of ordinary people in this world. The official road is paved with long fired bricks. There are many fields on both sides of the road. Some farmers have grown tall and look lush.

Ordinary people wear long gowns, but they don't wear braids like in the Qing Dynasty. Ordinary people simply tie their hair, and those with a bit of status wear crowns, which is an ancient style.

On the way, Ye Chen expressed his intention to solicit several times, but he refused all of them. Ye Chen could only settle for the next best thing and invite him to be the guest secretary of the firm.

He still refused, but in order to prevent Ye Chen from pestering him any further, Lu Tian could only promise that if he needed help, he could go to him, as long as he paid a certain amount of money.

……

Tianxing City is a large city in Nanshan Prefecture, governing hundreds of miles, and it is the most prosperous human city in a thousand miles.

Lu Tian and others pretended to be ordinary passers-by, and after paying the toll, they entered the city smoothly. The scene of heavy traffic came into view, which reminded Lu Tian of the Qingming Riverside Scene.

But Ye Qi and the others had no intention of admiring them, they walked through the streets several times and came to a bustling commercial street.

Lu Tian found that the number of warriors here has increased significantly, many of them are armed, bargaining with street vendors, and going in and out of various shops, it is very lively.

In front of a rather prosperous three-storey building, Ye Chen stopped in his tracks, with a relieved expression on his face, Lu Tian followed his gaze and told, the four gold-plated characters of 'Ye's Firm' were hung on the door.

There are quite a lot of people in this store, and there are several maids in ancient costumes standing outside. Seeing Lu Tian and others coming, they are not very willing to receive them.

Because the clothes of Lu Tian and others are too ordinary, they don't look like rich masters.

Being so neglected, Ye Chen's face turned cold: "Tell your shopkeepers to come out!"

The closest maid showed displeasure on her smeared face, and said with a sneer, "Who are you! How can the shopkeeper just say see you?"

"Then do you recognize this?" Ye Qisu took out a small sign with a special pattern engraved on it, and the maid was also trained, so he immediately recognized Cai.

Her face turned pale, "Master, please wait a moment!"

She quickly lowered her head, regretting her tone just now, and left in a hurry, trying to avoid the limelight.

However, he still notified the shopkeeper, and soon a chubby middle-aged man came out. After seeing Ye Qisu, his face showed flattery: "Master Ye, it turns out that you are here, please come in quickly!"

The hall master is the boss of each shopkeeper and his direct leader, so of course he will be polite.

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry, let me introduce you. This is Master Chen. You just took office last year, so you probably don't know him."

Liu Dacheng's face changed. He had heard that a manager would be sent to replace Manager Qian to manage the business of the entire Nanshan Prefecture. He didn't expect it to come so soon.

His face was even more flattering, and he was chubby and funny, "Master Chen, I have long heard that you have outstanding abilities. Under your leadership, Nanshan Prefecture will definitely develop better in the future."

Liu Dacheng started flattering, wanting to make a good impression in front of the new supervisor.

"Okay, I have something for you to do, let's go in and talk about it."

Ye Chen was in a bad mood, how could he hear these words, and said with a gloomy face.

Liu Dacheng smiled awkwardly, and led a few people into the secret room on the third floor, only to find that Ye Chen and his party were all wounded.

This surprised him, and he was so smart that he quickly guessed what it was. Somebody ambushed the new chief, it was really daring.

However, this is a battle between the upper echelons, and he doesn't want to intervene, pretending not to know, with an obedient appearance.

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. He first asked someone to give Lu Tian some classics and materials, and then wrote a secret letter to pass it on.

And Lu Tian was taken to a room, and various classics were carried over, including the geographical annals of Jin and nearby countries, the distribution of various forces, and even some precious materials.

And the cultivation forces he wanted to know were also on it, recorded in several high-end books.
