Chapter 148 Interception

It was dusk, Niu Youdao and his party appeared on a slope, galloped all the way down, and had left the steep mountain range, the terrain ahead became more gentle, and a river was like a ribbon.

Black Peony waved to a bridge over the river, "Master Dao, shall we go straight or cross the bridge?"

"Cross the bridge!" Niu Youdao called out.

The group arrived at the bridge, quickly changed direction, rushed across the stone bridge, and passed away with dust and smoke billowing all the way.

In the forest overlooking the fork in the road, a man in black slid down from the canopy along the trunk, and soon a golden wing flew out of the forest and flew into the sky...

On the other side of Duyun Mountain, Hou Qingtian led more than 20 people to cut out of Duyun Mountain, took a shortcut and walked in a straight line to the area designated by the middleman.

In the forest, Hou Qingtian walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, while a group of people sat on the ground and waited boredly.

After waiting for a while, one of them got up and walked over, "Cave Master, what does this mean? How long do we have to wait?"

Hou Qingtian: "Wait, it's no wonder we don't hear any news, anyway, we have the deposit in hand."

As soon as the words were said here, a golden wing fell from the sky, and one person raised his hand to grab it, took out the secret letter, and handed it to Hou Qingtian.

After reading the content, Hou Qingtian pointed in a direction, "The target will pass through three bends, we can stop them before Haishi, let's go!"

A group of people quickly left the mountain forest, swept across a plain, and then entered a mountain and river area. One by one, they glided quickly, leaped vertically and horizontally, and plunged straight to their destination.

After about an hour, the group flew down on the top of a mountain. As far as the eye can see, the official road under the moonlight winds along the mountain, which is exactly three bends.

Hou Qingtian waved and sent his eyeliner to the front mountain to watch, while the others rested and waited on the spot.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the sent eyeliner flew back in an emergency and reported: "Cave Master, someone is coming, and it may be the target."

"Get ready." Hou Qingtian shouted.

A group of people rushed down the mountain quickly and waited in ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

Gradually, the sound of rumbling horseshoes became louder and closer to this side.

On the hill, behind a big tree, Hou Qingtian hid sideways, watching.

The person who came was getting closer and closer, although the person could not be seen clearly under the moonlight, the number of people was gradually seen, twelve riders, six people, consistent with the news sent, the target was said to be the youngest one in the party.

Hou Qingtian jumped down the mountain, led the two people and stood directly on the road at the corner, waiting with a sword in hand, cutting off the target's way.

The group of people who came was naturally Niu Youdao and others, who had no idea that there was an ambush on the road ahead.

Just after rushing through the bend, they saw someone holding a shining sword blocking the way under the moonlight, and the group quickly stopped the horses.

Figures appeared from all around, and surrounded the party on the spot.

"Ask for some money, and if you catch him without a fight, you will not die!" Hou Qingtian said lightly, which was a foolish word.

Hei Mudan and others were shocked, and quickly drew their swords to guard.

Yuan Fang held the Jie Dao in his hand, his face showed a ferocious expression, he was the one who robbed others before, never thought that he would be robbed today.

Under the moonlight, Niu Youdao was calm and looked around coldly. He felt that the face of the person in front of him who couldn't see clearly was a bit familiar. When the other party made a sound, he suddenly squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Hou Qingtian, what do you want to do?"

He slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Fang and the others were at a loss, not knowing what he was talking about.

However, Black Peony stared straight at the person blocking the way.

The demon cultivators around were all stunned, and called out the cave master's name in one gulp, did the target of the killing know the cave master?

Hou Qingtian was also stunned, and quickly released the moon butterfly, flying towards Niu Youdao to investigate.

As soon as Yuedie approached, she took a clear picture of Niu Youdao's face sitting on horseback, and Hou Qingtian was speechless.

Then he drove Yue Die around the group of people, that's right, twelve riders, six people, and Xuanyuandao was the youngest of the six people.

The assassination target is actually this person? This...Hou Qingtian gradually became a little bit dumbfounded, as soon as he made a move, it was a meeting gift of 200,000 yuan, and he might lose money if he killed this person for a small tens of thousands. Besides, if the head of the family didn't speak, he didn't want to touch this one, so he quickly waved at the people who brought him and shouted: "Put it down, put it down, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, it's his own people!"

He put his sword back into its sheath, walked towards Niu Youdao quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Dao!"

One of our own? what's the situation? The group of monsters slowly lowered their weapons and looked at each other. They had never seen Niu Youdao, and some kind of Daoist appeared out of nowhere.

Yiyao repaired the knife back into its sheath, and whispered to the people around him smartly: "Isn't it, I said that this transaction is a bit strange, and someone probably wants to talk to us."

Besides Black Peony, Yuan Fang and the others also don't understand, you look at me, I look at you.

Niu Youdao didn't let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared at Hou Qingtian coldly, "Could it be that my elder brother sent you to kill me?"

Hou Qingtian quickly waved his hands, "How is this possible, you and the head of the family are brothers who worship the master, and it is impossible for the head of the family to kill anyone!"

what's the situation? The group of monsters were quite surprised this time, this is the brother who is in charge of the family?

Yuan Fang and the others were a little confused, they couldn't understand, Yun Huan should be the one who crosses Yunshan Mountain, right? Master Dao and Yun Huan are sworn brothers?

Niu Youdao: "Then why did you rob me halfway?"

Hou Qingtian laughed dryly and said: "Master Dao, I misunderstood, I really misunderstood. Didn't I bring my brothers out to find some money, and ambushed here to rob Dao. Who knew that I ran into you, Daoist by mistake. It's a sin, it's really a sin."

Niu Youdao: "You are really fast. I set off before you, and you and I can still meet here. I'm afraid you took a shortcut from Duyun Mountain and cut me in a straight line. What a coincidence. It's really not easy to come here in a hurry for the sake of robbery!"

Hou Qingtian smiled wryly, that's true for what he said, but it doesn't make sense, he cupped his hands and said: "I don't want to hide from the Daoist, there just happened to be an order on the mountain, and someone paid us to come here to intercept it. I really didn't expect that the target would be you, the Daoist. If I knew it earlier, how could I come to offend you."

Niu Youdao believes this, otherwise he has already done it, so there is no need to be so long-winded.

Be targeted! This idea suddenly flashed in Niu Youdao's mind, and he said in a deep voice, "Let your people search the nearby mountains and forests to see if there is any suspicious person."

"..." Hou Qingtian was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, do you really think that you are the sworn brother in charge of the family? But he still shouted to the left and right: "Are they all deaf? Didn't you hear what the Taoist said? Search, search quickly!"

"Yes!" A group of demon cultivators took the order, divided into two gangs, and rushed into the left and right mountains to search.

Niu Youdao jumped off the horse, walked slowly to Hou Qingtian, and asked, "Who told you to kill me?"

Hou Qingtian: "Master Dao, I really don't know about this. In the current situation, I also want to know who killed you. I guess the head of the family also wants to know, but it is impossible for the middleman to tell us."

Niu Youdao: "Who is the middleman?"

Hou Qingtian sighed: "Master Dao, don't ask me about this. First of all, middlemen who are capable in this industry must have a lot of background and are not easy to provoke; secondly, this is a shady business, and people will not easily reveal their identities. Find out who the buyer is."

Niu Youdao thought about it, so he stopped entangled with this and asked, "I wonder how much my life is worth?"

"Hehe!" Hou Qingtian said with some embarrassment: "Thirty thousand gold coins, if I knew it was you, Daoist, even if I wanted to do it, we would not be able to accept this price."

Niu Youdao: "If you don't kill me, how will you explain to others later?"

Hou Qingtian sighed, "I received a deposit of 10,000 yuan. According to the rules, if I miss it, the rest of the money will be gone, and the deposit will be doubled. Of course, it is impossible for the head of the family to harm his brother for this money."

Niu Youdao tilted his head, "Black Peony!"

Black Peony jumped off his mount and came over, "Master Dao!"

Niu Youdao asked, "How much money do you have?"

Black Peony: "More than 50,000 gold coins."

Niu Youdao knew that this was all about her, he didn't call Yuan Fang but called her because he couldn't show his wealth when he shouldn't, so he tilted his head and said, "Give him fifty thousand."

This spender is really ruthless! Hei Mudan lamented in her heart, but there was nothing to say about this matter, she took out the gold ticket on her body, took the change, and handed the whole five tickets to Hou Qingtian.

Hou Qingtian pretended to decline there, "How embarrassing."

Niu Youdao: "You can't just take it just because I let you suffer."

"Since Daoist said so, then we have the audacity to thank you." Hou Qingtian cupped his hands, took the golden ticket in his hand, and felt happy, not losing money, and made a fortune. This trip is not a waste of time, it is worth it!

Niu Youdao: "When did you receive the business here?"

With the golden ticket in his bag, Hou Qingtian replied, "It wasn't long after you left."

Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were treacherous.

We chatted on the road here for a while, and when the group of monsters from Search Mountain came back, we didn't gain anything, and we didn't find any suspicious people.

After asking about the situation, Hou Qingtian asked Niu Youdao: "Master Dao, look, what should we do next?"

Niu Youdao: "Go back first."

"Okay, that's fine, but Daoist, you may have been targeted, so be careful on the way, we missed, and the buyer might find someone else to do it." Hou Qingtian seriously reminded that such a wealthy benefactor should not have any accidents, and there may be benefits in the future.

"Well, go back and say hello to brother for me."

"Okay! Then I'll take my leave, Master Dao, take care all the way!"

Watching the group of monsters disappear into the mountains, Niu Youdao pointed to Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang again, motioning them to keep an eye on them.

After the two came back to report and confirmed that Hou Qingtian and others had left, Niu Youdao got on the horse again, sat on the horse's back, stared at the unknown road ahead, his eyes flickered, and turned the horse suddenly, "Let's go!"

He didn't go back to the way forward, but led everyone back the same way.

Not to mention going back the same way, but finding a suitable incision on the way, and leading the group into the deep mountains.
