Adoption brings disaster

It is true that the land route is much slower, but the escort agency has plenty of money and a relationship with the King of Zhenbei, so naturally they use the best horses.

These horses can travel at least eight hundred miles a day, even if they don't travel a thousand miles a day. They are incredibly fast and majestic, which makes the heroes on the road very envious.

Such good horses were prepared early at the post stations along the way, and we could change horses and continue on our journey as soon as we arrived.

In addition to the good horses, people along the way were also served early on, so they could eat when they arrived at the restaurant. The road into the city was already opened, and someone cleaned the road in advance when leaving the city.

In this way, we rushed for eight days before we arrived at the nearest town to Wudang Mountain.

There are only a few small villages further into the town, and it is difficult to find a place to stay and eat. Therefore, most of the heroes from all over the world who heard the news, except for the relatives of the victims' masters, temporarily crowded into this town.

People in the martial arts world are hot-tempered and like to fight and kill at the slightest provocation. With so many people from the martial arts world pouring into this small town, it is not peaceful. Now, someone is causing trouble in an inn again.

A burly man slammed the knife in his hand on the counter and said fiercely, "Waiter, stay at the hotel."

"My dear hero, our inn is full and there are no rooms left. Please look elsewhere," the shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry, so sorry. Please forgive me, my hero."

When the big man heard that there was no room left, he immediately got angry and picked up his knife with glaring eyes, saying, "Do you think I'm too poor to stay in your shabby shop? Let me tell you, this precious knife of mine is specially used to kill snobbish villains like you. Don't anger me, or I'll kill your whole family."

The shopkeeper was also afraid that the big man would hurt him, so he quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare me. I'm not being snobbish, but there really is no room left. Not only our inn is out of rooms, but even the ordinary people's homes in this town have been filled up long ago. Sir, you can find out if you go out and ask. I dare not deceive you."

........................

I listened to the noise in the inn, but ignored it and just followed Xiao Gao into the town.

As we traveled along the way, every inn was like this, with knights forcing us to stay in the inn by force.

But the inn really had no rooms left a long time ago. It was just a pity for the waiter and the innkeeper. Not only did he have to put on a smiling face, but he was also slapped hard by angry guests from time to time. A few slaps were good, but if he encountered a fight between two groups, it was not impossible that he would lose some limbs.

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that the dilapidated temples outside the town are full of people. Where are we going to rest tonight? We can't sleep on the street." Ah Da said with a frown.

After saying this, he felt something was wrong, and quickly said with a smile: "I am just a worthless person, sleeping on the street is not a problem, but the boss is too noble, he can't sleep in those big bunk beds."

"When we received the news that the leader of the Beggars' Sect was killed by the Green Water Sword, the head escort expected that the boss would come, so we bought a house early on just for the boss to stay, so we don't have to squeeze with these people." Xiao Gao said very proudly when he saw that Ada was not prepared.

"Looking at the situation, it's hard to say whether it will be possible now." Ah Da said sourly.

He seldom moved around in the martial arts world, so naturally he had not considered this situation and had not made any arrangements in advance. Seeing Xiao Gao's well-arranged arrangements, he could not help but feel jealous.

"When the boss came out of the Miao village, more than 30 good guards from the escort agency who were guarding nearby came directly over. Not to mention this bunch of good-for-nothings, even if the leader of Wudang Mountain came, they couldn't snatch him away." Xiao Gao became more and more proud as he spoke.

Seeing Xiao Gao's confident expression, Ada wanted to say something else, but he saw me pointing to a bustling restaurant and said casually, "Since we have a place to stay tonight, let's eat first and see if we can get any news."

As soon as we walked into the restaurant, Ada noticed a table that had not been cleared yet.

In order to show off, Ada quickly occupied the table, and three people came over and said that they discovered it first.

Ah Da didn't waste any time talking to them. He just slammed his knife on the table and said without emotion, "My knife disagrees with what you said. Why don't we go to the alley outside and ask who is right, you or my knife."

Everyone saw that Ah Da was burly and fierce-looking, and knew that he must have killed someone and was someone not to be trifled with.

The three of them also wanted to retreat, but if they gave in directly, they would lose face. Moreover, Ah Da was very loud, and now everyone in the restaurant was looking at Ah Da and the three of them. Now they were really in a dilemma.

"Three young men, there is an empty table over there. Why don't you go over there?" I said, pointing to the empty table in the middle.

Seeing they had a way out, the three men hurriedly said, "We are all from the martial arts world. Meeting is fate. It doesn't matter where we sit. We will give this brother some face today. However, I still want to advise him to keep his dog under control. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as we are."

"It doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't bite its owner, even the most vicious dog is a good dog." I said with a smile.

Ah Da's martial arts skills are only considered second-rate in the world, but just looking at his posture, you can tell that he is a man who doesn't care about his life.

If Ah Da really fights hard, he might be able to fight a first-rate master on a one-to-one basis. Such people are the second or third in command in most gangs.

In front of me, he actually openly admitted that he was a dog, and seeing that Ada didn't look angry at all, but rather a little proud, it showed his loyalty to me.

No one reacted at first, but after they understood the key, they looked at me with a more inquiring look.

A-da didn't beat around the bush. After hearing what I said, he happily wiped the chair back and forth with his clothes.

Then he asked me to sit down. After I sat down, A Da didn't sit down either. He just stood behind me with a knife in his hand, looking like a vicious dog protecting its master.

Seeing this, the waiter knew who was the boss and hurried over to clean up. In his panic, he spilled soup all over the table. The waiter stared at the ferocious-looking Ah Da, who didn't seem to want to chop him with a knife, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​I soothed him. "Although my Ada has a bad temper, he's obedient and won't hurt anyone. Just relax and clean up slowly."

After hearing what I said, the waiter felt relieved. Although he was still afraid, he did not make any mistakes when cleaning up later.

"Everyone, sit down, including A Da." A Da and Xiao Gao didn't want to sit down, but I didn't force them. Anyway, they were already in the spotlight and didn't care about this moment.

"There's a place in town that makes excellent tofu. Boss, please wait a moment while I go buy some," Xiao Gao said.

"Don't go, young man. They're all sold out. I'm afraid the tofu pot is cold now." The knight next to him reminded him.

Xiao Gao was even more proud when he heard others say that. He smiled and said, "You may not be able to buy it, but I will definitely get it if I go."

Everyone laughed, but did not notice the difference in Xiao Gao's words. Others were buying while he was taking.

Xiao Gao left for a while and came back with a bowl of tofu.

I took a bite and it tasted really good. I asked softly, "Is it the Escort Agency's business?"

"Boss, you've got a good eye. He's the chef from the escort agency," Xiao Gao said admiringly. "His cooking skills can't compare to those in the palace, but they're just barely passable. In this remote area, I'll have to inconvenience you. I'll have him prepare a nice dinner for you tomorrow."

"Go tell him to prepare a table and send it to the escort agency tonight." I handed a piece of tofu to Liu Shui, looked at the bustling crowd in the town, and said, "We'll go into the mountains tomorrow."

It is said that this town has been turned upside down by the gangsters. All edible things have been taken out and eaten. It is probably not easy to find food now.

Besides, it takes a lot of ingredients to make a table of dishes, and since they are for me, the boss, the ingredients must be of high quality. I have to ask the chef to prepare the dishes now. Thinking of this, Xiao Gao didn't dare to delay and hurried out to ask the chef to prepare the table.

Xiao Gao took the order and left, and we ordered some dishes and ate while listening to the people from the underworld chatting.

"You said that the Twelve Peaks of the Western Mountains have been surrounding Wudang Mountain for five days, why haven't they attacked yet?"

"How can we fight him? Who is Zhang Zhenren, the head of Wudang Mountain? Even the most powerful of Huaishugui's disciples can only withstand a single blow. The others can't even withstand a single blow. What can we use to fight him?"

"I don't believe that Master Zhang, who is eighty years old, can still kill everyone. His true energy will eventually run out, and that will be his death."

What he said seemed to make some sense, causing the knights in the restaurant to cheer and they were all excited in an instant.

Just when everyone was excited, a faint voice came from the corner: "Let's not talk about whether the eight hundred Wudang disciples are dead or not. Even if three thousand people from the Twelve Peaks of Xishan are against the Wudang leader alone, the Wudang leader's true energy can be restored. Can the dead disciples from the Twelve Peaks of Xishan be resurrected?" These words were quite powerful, and the originally noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet.

People only believe what they want to believe. This statement only made everyone quiet for a moment, and then someone started shouting again.

"He is a thousand-year-old prestigious sect in Wudang Mountain. Could it be that he is going to make the whole world his enemy just for a Taoist priest like Tianshu?"

"Yes, are they going to risk the wrath of the world by shielding a murderer?"

"A thousand-year-old prestigious family is nothing more than this, rotten from the root. No wonder they could produce a villain like Tianshu, who attacked an old martial arts master for a woman."

………………

Everyone cursed heartily, and from the corner came another faint voice, "Don't say that here, go to Wudang Mountain and say it. What kind of skill is it to say it here? You dare to say that in front of the Wudang disciples? I still respect you as men."

This remark left the group of people who were just filled with righteous indignation speechless for a moment. After a long while, someone finally squeezed out these words, "You always defend that evil villain Tianshu. Could it be that he is his accomplice? Why can't we brothers meet Tianshu? Killing his accomplices today can be regarded as doing justice for the heavens."

"Hahahahaha." The man stood up with laughter after hearing this. He looked at the man with disdain and said, "My martial arts skills may not be very good, but it's not difficult for me to kill three or five of you trash. Besides, my Qinggong is pretty good. With just you guys, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me if I want to leave."

"Arrogant." After hearing this, a man shouted and rushed forward, then was shot back by the man with a finger.

Everyone was horrified when they saw this. One of them, who was a little more knowledgeable, said, "He is from the Duan family. He is using the Duan family's unique skills."

"You are quite knowledgeable. Prince Duan, one of the victims this time, is my uncle." The man sat down again and ate by himself.

"Since you are a descendant of the Duan family, why are you shielding that evil thief Tianshu and that den of thieves, Wudang Mountain?"

"There are 100,000 Wudang disciples. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take a single step forward in the martial arts world when you say this?" the man mocked.

After saying that, he threw out a letter, which landed steadily on the table in the middle of the restaurant, which shows how profound his internal strength is.

The man continued, "It's not like the Twelve Peaks of the Western Mountains are surrounding Wudang Mountain. We have received a letter from the Wudang Sect Leader and are waiting for his explanation."

Everyone read the letter and talked about it.

"Could it be that these things were not done by Taoist Tianshu?"

"Of course not. Can't you recognize the sword wound from the Jade Water Sword?"

"It's also possible that the sword was stolen."

"Why don't you watch what you're saying? That's Taoist Priest Tianshu. Apart from the prince and those top-notch masters, who can snatch the sword from his hand?"

"It's not impossible to do it intentionally or unintentionally."

"Come on, if Tianshu himself had lost the sword, with the temper of the Wudang Sect Leader, I'm afraid he would rather admit to the murder than admit that his good disciple is so useless."

.....................

While everyone was still arguing, the man had already finished his meal, paid the bill and was about to leave the restaurant.

As he walked out, he said to everyone, "Instead of making random guesses here, why not go to Wudang Mountain the day after tomorrow and hear the Wudang Sect Leader's explanation in person? Don't worry, Wudang has been so prestigious for so many years, and as long as you're not being unreasonable, he'll have to answer you politely."

Thinking about what the descendant of the Duan family said, I couldn't help but touch my chin and asked, "It's just to give everyone an explanation. I think the Beggars' Sect, whose leader has died, has also received the news and sent people here."

"Of course. The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and most of its members are from poor families. They have a shameless attitude and are willing to sacrifice their lives. No one dares to provoke them. First, they are afraid that they will plot against you, and second, they are afraid that they will slander you everywhere. It is really disgusting."

I didn't think about these things. I just thought that there are so many people in the Beggars' Gang, it should be easy to impersonate. Besides, many beggars did not join the Beggars' Gang, but still regarded themselves as disciples of the Beggars' Gang, and no one cared about them.

Thinking of this, I whispered something to Ada, and Ada left in a mean manner.

Liushui asked me what I said, but I didn't say anything. I just told him a little trick to go to Wudang Mountain with a legitimate reason.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
