Chapter 18 Returning to the Gang

Wen Wenhai was very tired, and he whipped the horse's butt mechanically with the whip in his hand, hoping that it would run faster. Xue Qing, who was beside her, had her face covered with a veil again, and her face could not be seen clearly. She also urged the horse she was riding.

Wen Wenhai occasionally looked back at Xue Qing, and sometimes encouraged him: "Junior sister, if you persist, we will soon reach our sphere of influence. Let's take a rest then."

Xue Qing replied: "I know, senior brother, it's better to leave quickly."

After the two people came down from Shiren Peak, they didn't pay much attention at first. The task had been completed and they just needed to bring the things back to the sect. They were even immersed in the joy of getting the medicine. When they got on the horse, they saw these two horses in the sect. When they counted the best horses, the two of them realized the meaning of the master asking them to ride such a handsome horse. At the same time, Wen Wenhai also remembered the master's inconspicuous instructions, "Hurry back." At the same time, they also realized that they The dangerous situation, let alone whether the other three parties have other intentions, even if the ordinary Jianghu sects get a little information, or the things they carry are discovered, those are priceless treasures in the eyes of Jianghu people, ordinary people have no The two of them would not be able to save their lives if they were guilty of carrying the jade. The two of them couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They looked at each other, turned over and mounted their horses. They didn't stop for a moment and started galloping with their whips.

The two of them galloped on horseback all day and all night without rest. Fortunately, he is a martial arts practitioner and his body is strong, and ordinary people would have broken up their body frame long ago.

At nearly noon that day, the two of them were on their way. From a distance, they saw a tea shop on the roadside. Most of these tea shops are simple tents or thatched roofs set up next to the road. They are ventilated on all sides and provide simple food. Tea, wine and food are provided for passers-by to rest.

When he was approaching the tea shop, Xue Qing couldn't help but said to Wen Wenhai: "Brother, why don't we take a rest? In one more meal, we will enter the sphere of influence of our Piao Miao Sect. It should be safe here."

Wen Wenhai was also a little moved, slowed down and gradually approached the tea shop.

However, Wen Wenhai changed his mind and said to Xue Qing with a smile: "Junior sister, it's just a meal. It will be here soon. We have been on the road for so long, so we don't have to worry about this little bit of distance anymore. It's better to hurry up." Let’s drive for a while. How about taking a rest when we get to our territory?”

Xue Qing said: "Okay, senior brother, we won't do anything that will waste all our efforts. Let's leave quickly."

After saying that, the two of them regained their energy, speeded up, and galloped past the tea shop, completely ignoring the sweat on their bodies and the trembling legs of the horses underneath them.

There were not many people in the tea shop at this time. Sitting on a small table near the roadside were two well-dressed men. One had a white face, five strands of long beard flowing in the wind, and a sword in his hand. , the other had charred skin, a thick body, big hands and feet, and did not hold a weapon. The two of them were leisurely sipping tea from the rough tea bowls on the table. When Wen Wenhai and his two horses slowed down slightly in front of the tea shop and picked up speed again, they all saw it.

After Wen Wenhai's horse passed by, looking at the dust rising on the road, the man with the sword glanced at the dark-skinned man opposite, and said with a smile: "Lao Liu, stop drinking, let's go too, I didn't expect A Hai to be like this The child is so cautious that he won't even enter this tea shop. The third child has made a good disciple."

The sixth brother said: "Yes, fourth brother, these disciples of ours are not as cautious as Ah Hai. It's a pity that his talent is limited and it is difficult to make any progress in martial arts, otherwise it will be limitless. Alas, it's just a pity Got these two good horses.”

After saying that, the two of them dropped the tea money, fetched their horses, and also mounted to chase after him.

However, they didn't know that a normally dressed passerby behind them had a gleam in his eyes and murmured in his heart: "What happened, so that two of the Piaomiao Six Tigers came to respond?"

After the two led the horses away, he immediately paid the bill and followed quietly.

But Wen Wenhai rode his horse forward and spent another meal.

Seeing that there are more and more people, there are more and more small stalls placed along the road, and Pingyang City can be seen in the distance. Suddenly, the horse under him heard a whine of "Slippery~", and his four legs softened, and he collapsed to the ground. Wen Wenhai felt his body sinking, and immediately patted the horse's back with his body, using his strength to jump off the horse. down. Seeing this, Xue Qing quickly tightened the reins and slowly stopped his horse. I saw the horse lying limply on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and slowly closing its eyes. It was actually exhausted to death. Xue Qing also quickly looked at his horse. His horse was not much better, its legs were trembling, and there was some white foam in the horse's mouth. It seemed that it could no longer be ridden.

Wen Wenhai stood on the side of the road, looking at the horse lying down on the side of the road and the panicked passers-by around him. After thinking for a moment, he took out a loud arrow from his arms, pointed it at the sky, and shot it with a "whoosh" sound. Hearing the sound, the arrow flew into the air and made a sharp sound, which was heard far away in the empty sky.

Just as the sound of the arrow passed, someone from behind called out: "Ah Hai~" Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing looked back and couldn't help but feel happy.

It was the two well-dressed men who were resting in the tea shop just now.

When the two of them arrived on horseback, Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to Fourth Master Uncle and Sixth Master Uncle."

The two men shook their stirrups and dismounted, and said with a smile: "You two nephews, there is no need to be polite. We are here to greet you on the orders of our senior brother. Wait a moment and they will come over."

Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing both nodded in agreement, then stood next to the two uncles and waited quietly.

At this time, the tight strings in the two people's hearts completely relaxed.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people came galloping from a distance. The first one was a scholar wearing a kerchief. He was about forty years old. He had a white face and no beard. He was wearing white clothes. He looked very young, as if he was studying. The person was followed closely by a beautiful woman with a mature look between her brows. She was also dressed very simply. Both of them rode white horses. Behind them were a dozen people in well-dressed costumes, each with a sword. , their eyes were shining brightly, and some people's temples were bulging high. At a glance, you could tell that they were masters in the martial arts. These people were urging their horses while their eyes wandered around, looking around vigilantly.

When the two of them arrived, they got off their horses. Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing stepped forward to salute and said, "See you, Master."

This scholar turned out to be Ou Peng, the leader of the Miao Miao Sect!

So inconspicuous.

The two of them saluted the beautiful woman again: "See Master."

The beautiful woman looked at them with a smile and said nothing. Ou Peng said: "Okay, Ah Hai, Qing'er, you have worked hard. No need to be polite. You also know that your wife rarely pays attention to the affairs of the gang. Today is considered It’s an outing.”

The two people behind Wen Wenhai also stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the head brother and sister-in-law."

Ou Peng stretched out his hand to help me up and said, "You have worked hard too."

The fourth child stood up and said, "No hard work, we are just tasting tea. You, a disciple, didn't even enter the tea shop. You are so cautious."

Only then did Wen Wenhai understand. He quickly said: "Didn't this disciple not know that Uncle Master is here? Otherwise, he would have left with Uncle Master a long time ago."

Then he said to the master: "Fortunately, my disciple lived up to his command and escaped with his junior sister intact, but this horse..."

Ou Peng laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter. No matter how handsome the horse is, it can't be more important than you. As long as you come back safely, it's better than anything else."

Then he said to the people behind him: "Leave the horse for Qing'er and then take care of this place."

After saying that, he took Wen Wenhai, Xue Qing and other four people and beat the horse back, leaving only two people to deal with the dead horse, but they didn't even mention anything about Wen Wenhai's belongings.

The ordinary passerby who followed them witnessed the whole process and was even more surprised. Without thinking much, he got on his horse and galloped away in the other direction. He must have rushed back to the gang to report the matter. It must be a big deal worthy of Ou Peng's response.

Wen Wenhai and others rushed to Pingyang City with the large group of people. When they arrived at Pingyang City, they did not enter the city, but bypassed the city gate and went in the other direction. After drinking tea, they arrived at a villa outside the city.

This villa is built on the mountain. In front of the villa are scattered residents. The houses are scattered high and low. There are many people busy with their own affairs. When they see the large group of people approaching, they all give way to the road early and at the same time, they move towards the horse. Ou Peng saluted.

Further inside is a straight road with huge trees planted beside it. After crossing the main road, we came face to face with a gorgeous archway. The two huge characters on the archway were the same as the characters on the token that Xue Qing gave to the Zhang family, but these two characters looked even more indescribably elegant. .

After passing the archway, you will see a high platform. There is an open door above the dozens of steps. There are already dozens of people who look like disciples in the gang, waiting in front of the door and up and down the steps. In front of them is a man with a fair face and a gentle temperament. The young man who is not much different in age from Wen Wenhai is Zhang Chengyue, the eldest brother in the sect. When Ou Peng and others got to the steps and dismounted, Zhang Chengyue led the crowd and said in unison: "Welcome to the leader of the sect."

When Ou Peng dismounted, someone took the reins from their hands. Ou Peng said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. Let's go our separate ways. Disciples participating in the advanced competition, hurry up and practice. There is not much time left for you." ”

The disciples said, "Yes, follow the leader's instructions."

Then Zhang Chengyue followed Ou Peng and others through the door. Everyone else was busy with their own work. These disciples were summoned together by the gang leader's order a few days ago and were on guard day and night, thinking that a major event would happen. Unexpectedly, today, the gang leader went out for a trip. He announced that he had canceled this anticlimactic warning, which made all the disciples confused. However, this was the gang leader's business, and the advancement competition related to his future was still important. If he could advance, his status in the gang and The treatment will be different, and you may be able to learn more advanced martial arts. This is your own business. These disciples won't ask too much about other things.

Ou Peng took everyone to the meeting hall. When Ou Peng's wife saw that they had gang matters, she left first, and the others followed Ou Peng into the meeting hall.
