It was already twilight, and Niu Youdao and his party appeared on a section of the slope, galloping all the way down, and had broken away from the steep mountain area, and the terrain in front of them became relatively gentle, and a river was like a ribbon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

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

"Cross the bridge!" Niu Youdao said.

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

Looking down at the mountain forest at this fork in the road, a man in black slid down the trunk of the tree from the canopy, and soon a golden wing swept out of the mountain forest and flew into the sky......

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

In the mountains and forests, Hou Qingtian walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and 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 do you mean by this, when do you want us to wait?"

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

As soon as the words fell, 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 Hou Qingtian read the contents, he pointed in a direction, "The target will pass through three bends, we can intercept them when we arrive before the hour, go!"

A group of people quickly left the mountains and forests, skimmed over a plain, and entered a mountain area, one by one quickly gliding, leaping vertically and horizontally, and plunging straight to their destination.

After about an hour, a group flew down on the top of a mountain, and as far as the eye could see, the official road under the moonlight meandered along the mountain, and it was three bends.

Hou Qingtian waved his hand and sent eyeliner to the mountain in front of him to stare at it, while the others rested and waited on the spot.

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

"Ready. Hou Qingtian snorted.

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

Gradually, the rumbling of horses' hooves grew louder and closer.

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

The people were getting closer and closer, and although they couldn't see people clearly under the moonlight, they had gradually seen the number of people, twelve horsemen, six people, which was consistent with the news delivered, and the target was the youngest in the line.

Hou Qingtian jumped down the mountain, led the two of them to stand directly on the road at the bend, waited with swords in hand, and cut off the target's way.

The group of people who came were naturally Niu Youdao and others, and they didn't know that there was an ambush on the road ahead.

As soon as they crossed the corner, they saw someone blocking the way with a bright sword under the moonlight, and the group quickly stopped the horses.

Figures around came out of the way, and the group was surrounded on the spot.

"Ask for some money, and you can avoid death if you tie your hands!" Hou Qingtian said lightly, this is a foolish word.

Black Peony and the others were shocked, and quickly drew their swords to be on guard.

Yuan Fang raised the ring knife in his hand, his face was hideous, he used to rob others, and he never thought that he would be robbed today.

Under the moonlight, Niu Youdao was calm, looking around with cold eyes, he already felt that the face of the person in front of him who couldn't see clearly was a little familiar, and when the other party spoke, he suddenly squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Hou Qingtian, what do you want to do?"

His hand slowly touched the hilt of his sword, and murder began to appear in his eyes.

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

Black Peony stared straight at the roadblocker in front of him.

The demon cultivators around were stunned, and called out the name of the cave master, and the interception target knew the cave master?

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

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

Then drove the moon butterfly around the group of people, that's right, twelve horses, six people, and Xuanyuan Dao was the youngest of the six.

The assassin was actually the one who was killed? Hou Qingtian gradually couldn't cry or laugh, as soon as he made a move, it was a 200,000 meeting gift, and he would lose money if he killed this person for a small tens of thousands. Besides, if the head of the house doesn't speak, he won't be able to move this, so he hurriedly waved his hand at the people who brought him and shouted: "Put it down, let it go, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, it's your own person!"

He also returned his sword to the sheath, walked quickly towards Niu Youdao, and arched his hand: "Dao Master!"

What is the situation with their own people? The demons slowly put down their weapons, and looked at each other one by one, they had never seen Niu Youdao, and they didn't know what Taoist master came out of nowhere.

A demon cultivated the knife and returned it to the sheath, and whispered to the people around him as clever: "Yes, I just said that this transaction is a bit strange, and it is estimated that someone wants to kill us." ”

In addition to the black peony here, Yuanfang and the others can't figure it out, you look at me, I'll look at you.

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

Hou Qingtian hurriedly waved his hand, "How is this possible, you and the master are brothers who worship the master, and it is impossible for anyone in charge to kill you!"

What's the situation? The demons were surprised this time, this is the brother who is in charge?

Yuanfang and the others were a little confused, they couldn't understand, it should be Yun Huan who was in charge of Duyun Mountain, right?

Niu Youdao: "Then what are you doing to rob me halfway?"

Hou Qingtian smiled dryly: "Dao Ye, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding, didn't I take my brothers out to find some way to make money, ambush here to rob the Dao, who knows that I met you by mistake, a sin, a sin, a sin, a sin." ”

Niu Youdao: "Your speed is really fast, I set off before you, you and I can still meet here, I'm afraid that you took a shortcut from Duyun Mountain and inserted it in a straight line, and just intercepted me, it's really a coincidence." It's not easy to rush here in a hurry to rob the road!"

Hou Qingtian smiled bitterly, so he said it, he couldn't say it, and arched his hand: "Don't hide it from Daoye, the mountain just took over the order, and someone paid for us to come here to intercept it, I really didn't think that the target would be Daoye, if you knew it earlier, how could you come to offend." ”

Niu has a good faith in this, otherwise he would have already done it, and he would not be so verbose.

Niu Youdao suddenly flashed this thought in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Let your people search the nearby mountains and forests to see if there are any suspicious people." ”

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

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

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

Hou Qingtian: "Master Dao, I really don't know this, now in this situation, I also want to know who killed you, and it is estimated that the owner also wants to know, but the middleman will not tell us." ”

Niu Youdao: "Who is the middleman?"

Hou Qingtian sighed: " Daoye, don't ask about this, first of all, the middlemen who can do this line must have a lot of background, and it is not easy to provoke; secondly, this is a shady business, people will not easily expose their identities, and I don't know who the other party is; in addition, each line has its own rules, even if I know it, I can't tell you, breaking the rules will cause trouble for Duyun Mountain; besides, then again, the buyer should not reveal his identity to the middleman, even if you find the middleman, you may not be able to find out who the buyer is. ”

Niu Youdao thought about it, so he stopped dwelling on this and asked, "I don't know how much my life is worth?"

"Hehe!" Hou Qingtian said a little embarrassed: "Thirty thousand gold coins, if we had known that it was you, Dao Master, even if we wanted to start, we would not have been able to accept this price." ”

Niu Youdao: "If you don't kill me, how can you explain to people when you turn around?"

Hou Qingtian sighed, "I received a deposit of 10,000 yuan, according to the rules, the rest of the money is naturally gone, and the deposit must be returned twice." 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 walked over, "Dao Ye!"

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

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

Niu Youdao knew that there was all she had, and he didn't call her Yuanfang, because he couldn't show his wealth when he shouldn't, so he turned his head and signaled: "Give him 50,000." ”

Black Peony lamented in his heart, but there was nothing to say about this, he took out the golden ticket on his body, took it in small amounts, and handed it to Hou Qingtian in five full pieces.

Hou Qingtian pretended to excuse himself, "How embarrassing is this." ”

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

"Since Dao Ye said so, then we will thank you cheekily. Hou Qingtian arched his hand, took the golden ticket in his hand, and was happy in his heart, he didn't lose money, and he made a pen, this trip is not a vain run, it is worth running!

Niu Youdao: "When did you get the deal here?"

With the golden ticket in his pocket, Hou Qingtian replied: "Not long after you left. ”

Niu Youdao squinted slightly, his eyes were treacherous.

I chatted on the road for a while, and when the demons who searched the mountains came back, they didn't get anything, and they didn't find any suspicious people.

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

Niu Youdao: "You guys go back first." ”

"Okay, that's okay, but Master Dao, you may have been targeted, be careful on the road, we missed, and the buyer will find someone else to do it. Hou Qingtian reminded him seriously, it is better not to have an accident with such a generous gold owner, and there may be benefits in the future.

"Well, go back and say hello to my brother on my behalf. ”

"Okay! Then I'll leave here, Dao Ye take care all the way!"

Seeing the demons disappear into the mountains, Niu Youdao pointed at Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang again, and motioned for the two of them to stare at it.

After the two of them came back to report and confirm that Hou Qingtian and the others had left, Niu Youdao turned over and got on the horse again, sat on the back of the horse, stared at the unknown road ahead, his eyes flickered, and he turned the horse suddenly, "Go!"

He did not go back to the front road, but led the people back the way they came.

didn't talk about returning the same way, but found a suitable incision on the way, and led the group into the deep mountains.
