Chapter 19: The Black Car
An hour later, Du Fan was still in the long underground passage, which was narrow and long, as if there was no end.
Fortunately, there is air in the passage, and the stone walls on both sides are made of special materials, which can glow faintly, so that Du Fan can pass smoothly without suffocating or hitting the stone wall.
Du Fan didn't know how long he had been walking, but he estimated that he had been walking for most of the day, and he planned to stop and rest for a while, and his palm was casually resting on one side of the stone wall.
But the moment his hand touched the stone wall, his face showed doubt, and then he kept slapping here and around.
"The stone walls here are very thin, and there should be another cave behind it. Du Fan judged.
"Forget it, now is not the time to be curious. He shook his head, ignored it, took out the dry food given by the head of the house before leaving, took two bites, and continued to walk, and quickened his pace.
About half a day later, the passage faintly had an upward slope, and Du Fan cheered up and strode forward.
"It's finally out!"
Du Fan was standing in the middle of a forest at this time, it was the jungle he had expected before, as if he had walked out of Tianxiang City ten miles away.
Taking a deep breath, stretching his bones, and after identifying the direction, he left quickly without hesitation.
A few hours later, Du Fan leaned over to pick a few leaves on a plant, and was about to get up and leave after putting them away, when a dark laugh suddenly sounded, making Du Fan feel like he was being targeted by a wild beast, making his scalp tingle instantly.
"Steward Du, where are you going?"
The figure in white clothes then appeared, the person who came with long hair and a shawl, handsome appearance, refined temperament, and every gesture, showing perfection, it was the proud son of the Purple Mountain faction, Wu Hao!
When Du Fan saw this person, he was surprised, but he calmed down and looked directly at the other party.
"It turned out to be the master, and the villain was entrusted by the head of the family to go to Li Cheng to purchase some items. Du Fan bowed, neither humble nor arrogant, and said leisurely, without panic.
"Okay, I might play with you usually, but I don't have the time to do it today. I wanted to make your life worse than death when I met you again, but now rest assured, I'll give you a good time, because I still have important business to attend to. You don't know, what I hate you most is not that you snooped on my secret that day, nor did you use that broken dagger to deceive me later, but the way Yao Ruoxi's little slut looked at you and pleaded for you with her standing in front of me!"
"You don't deserve to mention Ruoxi!" Du Fan's expression was instantly gloomy, and his words were cold.
"What are you talking about? Even a lowly mortal dares to speak wildly in front of me, and suffer death!"
Wu Hao was furious, the fierce light in his eyes was revealed, and when the white clothes waved, a large fireball flashed out and blasted towards Du Fan, a scorching sensation instantly filled the nearby void, and the sound of breaking the sky was so powerful that it had surpassed the fire attribute talisman that Du Fan had ever seen.
Du Fan's eyes not far away showed despair, but he was not afraid, he knew that he was absolutely unlucky, not to mention this unfathomable cultivator of the Purple Mountain Sect, even a quasi-qi cultivator wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of stretching out his fingers, so he did not resist, but calmly closed his eyes.
An earth-shattering loud bang erupted, and the wave of qi that rolled up instantly lifted Du Fan who was in his closed eyes, flew upside down ten zhang away, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The moment he landed, Du Fan only felt a huge shock all over his body, spurted out a mouthful of blood in vain, raised his head and looked ahead in surprise.
"Who are you?" Wu Hao was shocked, his face showing solemnity.
At this time, between Wu Hao and Du Fan, there was a person standing, this person was wearing the clothes of the Yao family's steward, with a pair of triangular eyes, two beards, and sharp-eared monkey cheeks, who turned out to be the steward of the Yao Mansion, Liu Neng.
"Steward Du, I came here to save you on the orders of the head of the family, but I have always looked at you unpleasantly, you are not leaving now, let alone when!" Liu Neng said lightly, at this time, his expression was no longer the usual worldly meanness, revealing a trace of arrogance.
Du Fan shook his head, without too much expression and nonsense, and turned to leave.
......
Four days later, Du Fan finally walked out of the southern edge of the jungle, and the qi wave caused by the spell cast by Wu Hao and Liu Neng that day had caused some internal injuries to Du Fan, but under the healing of the medicinal properties of the relevant plants, he had recovered.
Three days later, the outline of a majestic city came into view of Du Fan.
Du Fan had seen it in the maps and books of Yaofu, and this city was a big city in the Tianxiang Kingdom, Li City.
Licheng is a place rich in fur, and many dignitaries, even royal **, often send people here to purchase fur to make clothing. There are also many traders from other countries who come and go in this city, so the economy here is extremely developed, and it seems that it has become the second largest city in Tianxiang Country.
However, Du Fan didn't have time or interest in caring about this, so he stepped directly into the city and appeared in a luxury restaurant.
As Du Fan said to Yao Ruoxi and the others more than ten days ago, they are only poor and only have silver left.
After a big meal, Du Fan asked the shopkeeper about the carriage and horse shop, and after buying enough sauce beef and steamed buns to pack, he left the restaurant and went straight to a carriage and horse shop in Licheng.
When passing by a clothing store, Du Fan hesitated slightly, then stepped in, and when he came out again, he had already changed into an extremely ordinary gray robe.
After passing two avenues and a few alleys, he turned into a wide courtyard full of horse-drawn carriages.
"This guest officer, I am the steward of this carriage and horse shop, where are you going?"
An old man in black saw Du Fan walking into the courtyard and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Do you have a carriage here to go to Starfire Town?" Du Fan didn't hesitate and asked directly.
"But the military town on the northern border of the Fire Feather Country, Starfire Town?" the old man in black was surprised and said in confirmation.
"That's right, that's it, doesn't your car shop have a carriage for this route?" Du Fan frowned.
"That's not true, it's just that it's far away, and it's the border of another country, so it's expensive. The old man twisted his beard and explained with a slight smile.
"Silver taels are not a problem, you can make an offer. "Du Fan is quite wealthy.
These words immediately made the old man in black smile, stretched out five fingers and said, "Five taels of silver." ”
"No problem. ”
Du Fan didn't care, but when he reached out to touch the money, his face became very exciting, and the money bag on his body was gone.
"Rub, someone stole it!" an idea instantly popped into Du Fan's mind.
The black-clothed steward is an old fritter who has been in the world for many years, and just by glancing at Du Fan, he guessed that he was not far from ten.
"This guest officer, your money bag has been stolen by someone? Although Li Cheng has a developed economy, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there is some chaos, so you should be careful when you go out in the future. Why don't you go back and get some silver taels, we have daily departures here, so you don't have to worry. The old man in black flashed a trace of strangeness in his eyes, but his attitude was quite kind, so he said.
It was impossible for Du Fan to go back and get the silver taels, so he had no choice but to rummage around on his body, and finally found a small ingot of silver in the packed food bag, worth one tael.
"There's no way I'm going back to get it again, I only have one or two pieces of silver on me at this time, and if I can take credit for the rest, I have a friend in Starfire Town, and I'll pay it off then." Du Fan coughed dryly and said cheekily.
The old man in black smiled and shook his head silently.
"This brother, but you're going to Starfire Town?"
Just when Du Fan was anxious and at a loss, a voice sounded beside him at the right time.
Du Fan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see a young man, this person looked quite good, but the other party's smile, no matter how you look at it, there is a little obscene.
"Are you?" Du Fan was a little puzzled.
"In Xia Liu Wei, you can call me Xiao Liu, if you go to Xinghuo Town, I have a carriage here, and I am about to set off, and I only need one or two silver. Liu Wei was very enthusiastic and highly recommended his carriage.
"This steward, is he your car dealer?" Du Fan did not answer immediately, but turned his head to the old man in black and asked.
"Ahem...... This person who is not my car dealership, how to decide, you decide, I hope that there will be a chance to cooperate with you in the future, there are still some things in the old decay, and I will not accompany you for the time being. When the old man in black saw Liu Wei, his expression was strange, but he was slippery, so he naturally wouldn't interfere with anything, and after finishing speaking, he bowed slightly and left here.
"It's mostly black cars. Du Fan had an instant realization in his mind.
"Forget it, as long as you can get to Starfire Town, these things don't matter. Du Fan secretly made a decision.
"Brother Liu, I'm sorry for you. Du Fan handed the only remaining tael of silver to Liu Wei.
"Okay, come with me. After Liu Wei received the silver, his face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and there was a touch of pride.
......
A few hours later, the carriage galloped on the official road, and in the carriage, in addition to Du Fan, there were more than a dozen other people, including men, women and children, and Liu Wei was driving the carriage outside.
Half a month later, the carriage stopped at an intersection in the wilderness.
"Brother Du, can I come out and discuss some things with you. Liu Wei spoke loudly outside the car.
Du Fan was surprised, but he still walked out of the car.
"Brother Du, we are now out of the territory of Tianxiang Country, you see, this road is further south to the territory of Fire Feather Country, where Xinghuo Town is. And to the east is Liaoguo, which is the destination of our trip, you see, hehe, should you get off the bus, otherwise you will go farther and farther. Liu Wei said with a smile, looking harmless, as if he was thinking about Du Fan everywhere.
"What? You mean, you didn't plan to go to Spark Town at all, and you wanted to leave me in this place where I couldn't find a village or a store in the future?" Du Fan was furious.
"Brother Du, Brother Du, it's too ugly, it's too ugly, didn't I discuss it with you, if you don't want to, you can continue to go on the road with us, in fact, a good man has ambitions in all directions, why do you have to go to Xinghuo Town, do you say, hehe, hehe......" Liu Wei smiled, did not blush, and said something that made Du Fan almost vomit blood.
"Rub!" Du Fan suddenly raised his middle finger, turned around and left, the chattering voice still echoing behind him.
"This little guy, there is some meaning, look at his face, there will be an earth-shattering creation in the near future, but this creation ...... I can't see through it, it doesn't seem to belong to the ...... between heaven and earth" When Du Fan disappeared into the distance, Liu Wei put away his laughter, and the colors of hesitation and struggle flashed alternately on his face.
"Forget it, this kind of creation is not something I can afford, so let's go my own way of life. ”
Liu Wei took a deep breath and made a decision, and the last trace of struggle disappeared immediately, and he boarded the carriage again.
"The road of life is not easy to walk...... Drive!"
If Du Fan saw the situation in the carriage at this time, he would definitely be shocked, where was there a person in this carriage!
