Taiping Inn

Gu Huchen's face became serious after hearing this: "I am Gu Huchen, who are you?"

The sturdy man smiled slightly: "I am the Thunder God of Qingyang Sect."

As soon as these words came out, the whole inn was completely silent.

The Hongyang main altar of Qingyang Sect is in charge of General Tang Qin, the Earth God. There are three generals under Tang Qin, namely: Thunder God, Qing Niu Jiao, and Wu Lu. Among them, Thunder God is the leader, with the highest realm and the strongest combat power.

Now Wu Lu is dead, Qing Niu Jiao is still lingering in Dongchang Prefecture, but Thunder God has been missing and has not made any moves. I didn't expect him to appear here.

Then the purpose of Thunder God is also very obvious.

If Qin Daofang, the governor of Qizhou, can be killed, then Qizhou will almost become the possession of Qingyang Sect.

Gu Huchen held the hilt of the knife at his waist and said in a deep voice: "So it's the Qingyang Sect traitor."

Lei Gong did not rush to take action, but laughed: "Traitor? If you can accomplish great things, then you are not a traitor. The third generation of the Zhengyi Sect's Heavenly Master started an uprising with the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, claiming that 'the blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established', and then recruited soldiers and horses to compete for the world, but he is a traitor?"

Gu Huchen was speechless.

Instead, Qin Daofang said, "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. If the Qingyang Sect could submit to the imperial court like the Zhengyi Sect's master did, it would not be a traitor."

Lei Gong smiled and said, "How can living under someone else's roof be as comfortable as living in your own house?"

Qin Daofang responded tit for tat, "You are so justified in robbing other people's houses for your own use?"

Lei Gong gradually restrained the smile on his face and said calmly, "The world has no master, only the virtuous can live in it."

After the words fell, Lei Gong slowly stood up, and at the same time, his whole momentum began to rise.

At this moment, a group of guards also rushed into the lobby of the inn and guarded in front of Qin Daofang.

According to common sense, a governor-general who is in charge of the military and political power of a state should be heavily guarded. However, when Qin Daofang left Qizhou, he took the sea route. Over the years, the court was already stretched thin just by dealing with the wars in the northwest and Liaodong, and had no energy to take care of the navy, which made the navy slack. Qin Daofang left by sea, so he naturally could not have heavy guards. Moreover, the sea was the territory of Qingwei Sect. Qingyang Sect would never go to Qingwei Sect's territory to provoke trouble. It would be the same with or without heavy guards. Who would have thought that Qingwei Sect would actually block the sea route of Langya Prefecture? Therefore, Qin Daofang was also a wise man who made mistakes.

Lei Gong did not care about these elite guards, but just waved his hand.

Then the three people who came with him stood up at the same time.

Lei Gong kept his eyes on Gu Huchen and said slowly: "I have heard of the reputation of 'Tiger Claw Young Guard' for a long time. Today I will learn from him."

Gu Huchen slowly drew his sword and said to Qin Daofang behind him: "Please step back."

Qin Daofang slowly left the inn surrounded by the old coachman and a group of guards.

The other three followed closely, leaving only Lei Gong and Gu Huchen in the inn.

Lei Gong said calmly: "As long as you, 'Tiger Claw Young Guard', are you a weak scholar who can escape from this mountain?"

Gu Huchen did not speak, but waited with concentration.

After all, in terms of realm cultivation, he was still slightly inferior to Lei Gong.

Lei Gong laughed loudly, his eyes stern: "It is good to return home with Huangquan as a companion."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Huchen had already drawn his sword and jumped up.

In an instant, the sound of wind and thunder was loud.

The light of a knife was brilliant and flowing.

This knife was extremely powerful and extremely fast, as if it was a violent snowstorm that came unexpectedly.

In fact, Gu Huchen's sword was named "Drinking Snow"

This knife seemed to sweep through thousands of layers of snow, and looking around, it was a vast expanse of white.

Unexpectedly, this knife was extremely stunning, so stunning that it made people feel that it was extremely incompatible with the person who drew the knife, as if it would only be a match for a gentleman or a woman in white clothes who was whiter than snow.

However, there was a hidden murderous intent under the beautiful scenery. In fact, Gu Huchen's sword was drawn and drawn in one go. When he drew the sword, it was silent and not sharp, but when he drew the sword, it was sharp and showed its edge, almost blooming in an instant, making it difficult to predict and even more difficult to defend against, just like a thunderclap in silence.

The dust suspended in the air was stagnant for a moment.

Facing this knife, Lei Gong still maintained his previous posture, his face calm, as if he did not feel the surging murderous intent in the knife at all. His face was reflected on the clear and bright knife, and it also illuminated his face.

The next moment, Lei Gong showed a smile on his face, and his sinister eyes wandered over Gu Huchen, like a tiger or wolf hunting prey. There was no scene of the white and bright snow knife stained with red blood. Gu Huchen was seen holding the "Yinxue" in his hand, his upper body slightly leaning forward, maintaining a forward stabbing posture, and the whole person was carrying an indomitable heroic momentum, like a veteran soldier who was bravely charging on the battlefield.

In contrast, there was a palm.

Lei Gong just took a step forward, stretched out his palm to break the knife light, and lightly pressed down the sharp "Yinxue", and then this seemingly devastating knife could no longer move forward a single distance.

"Yinxue" never managed to cut off the man's five fingers, and even failed to injure him at all. This was not just a simple physique of the Heavenly Man Realm, but a body of Vajra. Perhaps only the golden bodies of the Vajra Sect monks could rival this.

"Yinxue" was restrained by the five fingers of the Thunder God and could not move.

After the knife failed, Gu Huchen's face suddenly turned pale, without any blood.

Lei Gong was unmoved and said coldly: "We are all old hands, no need to pretend, you can't fool people. There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. Since you are called 'Tiger Claw Young Guard' by people in the world, I think your cultivation is still in your hands."

Gu Huchen released the "Yinxue" in his hand without hesitation, his ten fingers were like hooks, and his punches were as fast as the wind.

Lei Gong threw away the "Yinxue" in his hand, laughed loudly, and started punching directly. His movements were even faster than the crossbow arrows, so that countless overlapping afterimages appeared, making it difficult to tell who was real and who was fake.

The two exchanged more than a hundred moves in an instant.

The clothes on Lei Gong's upper body were all torn, revealing his strong chest with bloodstains. However, Lei Gong didn't care. He slammed his fists together, creating a huge spider-web-like crack on the ground under his feet. He rose up like a comet, and almost instantly came to Gu Huchen, punching him hard with a thunderous sound.

Gu Huchen crossed his hands to block and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lei Gong was in a dominant position and hammered his fists continuously, like a big drum on the battlefield.

Smoke and dust rose up, and muffled sounds continued. There were even cracks on the ground.

The earth-shaking and violent ripples of qi spread out, affecting the entire inn, causing this extremely tough inn to collapse directly.

…

Although Li Xuandu was temporarily blind, he had gradually gotten used to it during this period of time. He no longer needed to be led by others. Even if he walked alone in the mountains, he could move freely. He could climb mountains and wade through water. It was just a little slower than normal walking.

After walking for a few days, they were about to reach Langya Prefecture. At the same time, Li Xuandu's eyes had completely recovered. After removing the black cloth covering his eyes, he regained his sight.

One day, at noon, Li Xuandu came to a dense forest. Now that spring has come and flowers have bloomed, the forest has grown green leaves, but on the thickest tree in the forest, there are two corpses hanging, one male and one female, who seem to have just died not long ago.

Li Xuandu was slightly surprised, because this place is very remote, uninhabited, and not a major traffic route. There is not even a passerby, so bandits and robbers will naturally not come here to rob. There are no residents, no passing merchants, no bandits and robbers, how could there be two dead bodies? The key is that these two dead bodies were not killed by wild beasts or fell from a cliff. They were clearly hung on the tree. This is very obvious. They were killed.

Li Xuandu's mind moved, and he flicked his finger, shooting out a sword energy, cutting the ropes hanging the two people, causing the two bodies to fall to the ground.

Li Xuandu walked forward and looked carefully.

The two bodies were a man and a woman. The man looked about forty years old, dressed like a businessman, with eyes wide open and his entire chest collapsed, obviously beaten to death by a punch. The woman was a woman in her thirties, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes. At this time, her long black hair had been scattered, and her throat was torn. Judging from her clothes, she should be a family that usually shows up to do business, and she should be a couple with the male corpse.

At this time, the wind blew, and it seemed gloomy. Even ordinary people in the martial arts world would think of evil spirits demanding their lives if they saw such a scene. However, Li Xuandu was not afraid. After all, he had fought against Beimang Mountain of Zaoge Sect, so why would he be afraid of evil spirits? He just regretted that there was no Taoist priest at this time. If there was a Taoist priest, he might be able to condense the scattered souls of these two people.

Li Xuandu could only squat down and carefully examine the wounds of the two people. At first glance, he could not tell who had attacked them. Li Xuandu could only apologize to the two people and began to search their bodies to see if he could find any relics that could prove their identities.

This search really allowed Li Xuandu to find two tokens, which were two Taiping coins. However, unlike ordinary Taiping coins, these two Taiping coins were cast in green jade, with "Taiping Wuyou" written on the front and "Tianxia Taiping" written on the back. In addition, red lines passed through the square holes of the two Taiping coins and then tied into a silk knot, making the two Taiping coins look like two jade pendants.

Li Xuandu was shocked. This was clearly a token from the Taiping Sect. Considering the clothes they were wearing, their identities were self-evident. They should be the couple who ran the Taiping Inn.

Who dared to attack the Taiping Sect?

Li Xuandu thought for a while. Since the bodies of the two were thrown here, the inn they ran should not be too far away. If he could find the inn, he might know who attacked them.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu took off the tokens from the two people, slapped them with his palm, blasted a square hole on the ground, and then buried the two side by side in it. Regardless of whether they were a real couple in life, since they worked together, they must have a good relationship, so they can be considered as companions after death.
