Chapter 38 Entering Dongchang City

Dongchang Mansion, outside the city.

A wine shop outside the city.

The wine shop is not big, just a small two-story building with a simple fence surrounding it and a few simple tables inside and outside the building.

Horse hooves vibrated on the deserted road outside the wine shop, and wealthy merchants carrying swords and swords hurried past on horseback, raising dust and smoke all over the sky.

The sun was setting, and it felt a little cooler.

In a corner of the restaurant courtyard, a figure wrapped in a black coat was holding a cup of tea and sipping it leisurely.

This person is Lin Mang who came from Yuanjiang City.

He set out from Yuanjiang City and drove for three consecutive days before finally entering the territory of Dongchang City.

Lin Mang glanced around casually and sighed in his heart.

As expected of the capital city of Dongchang Prefecture, there were countless people from all corners of the country met along the way, and some of them were even in the Xiantian realm.

In Yuanjiang City, there are only a handful of Xiantian realms.

Lin Mang was thinking about his trip to Beijing this time.

According to the news given to him by Chen Baihu, the convoy of Princess Toishiu of Izumo Kingdom will arrive in the city in five days. At the same time, the show girls selected by Dongchang Prefecture will also set off with it at the same time.

Therefore, Dongchang Prefecture's Thousand Household Office ordered to mobilize elites from various places to participate in the escort mission.

Especially the selected beautiful girls, these are all destined to be sent to the palace, so there is no room for carelessness.

but……

A strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Lin Mang's mouth.

The so-called princess...isn't she a man?

I really want to see her, oh no, it's him.

These guys came to Beijing without any good ideas.

At this moment, bursts of smoke and dust were set off on the road in the distance, and a carriage drove quickly, accompanied by a team of guards around the carriage.

The guards were all tall and tall, with long swords at their waists. They were obviously accomplished warriors.

The carriage stopped in front of the wine shop. One of the men, who looked like a guard leader, drove his horse to the carriage and whispered a few words, then dismounted and walked towards the wine shop.

Some guards followed him into the wine shop, while some stayed beside the carriage.

"Boy, prepare some food!"

The leader of the guard was a rough man with a beard, who looked to be in his forties.

Lin Mang glanced at him casually and noticed that his steps were particularly heavy and powerful. He must have been practicing downhill skills.

However, he just took a curious look and quickly looked away.

I met too many people from all walks of life along the way, and they all had their own methods.

For most people, their energy is limited, so they choose martial arts that they are good at.

Boxing, palm, kick, spear, and even hidden weapons.

Putting down a few coins on the table, Lin Mang picked up the embroidered spring knife wrapped in cloth on the table and turned around to leave.

only,

The moment he walked out of the wine shop, a fine iron arrow suddenly shot out from the distance.

The sound in my ears was sharp and harsh!

"bass!"

Lin Mang's two fingers quickly reached out like a dragon entering the sea. The true energy flowed between his fingers. He clamped the fine iron arrow and instantly reversed its direction and shot it out.

"Pfft!"

A masked man in black on a horse in the distance screamed and fell down.

In the distance, more than 20 masked men in black riding on horseback charged towards them, full of evil aura.

In the wine shop, the expressions of the previous guards immediately changed, and the leader of the guards roared: "Quick! Protect the lady!"

Everyone immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the carriage.

The leader of the guard walked as fast as he was flying. When he fell down, a large pit appeared on the ground, as if he had exerted a huge force.

At the same time, a fine iron arrow flew in the sky, piercing the guards guarding the carriage, and there was a cry of mourning.

The masked man in black came on horseback and soon fought with a group of guards.

Lin Mang frowned slightly as he looked at the two people coming towards him.

Are you treating yourself as a carriage guard?

The true energy bursts out from the palm, and the "Bagua Palm" is moved, and with one palm strike, the pure Yang true energy condenses into a domineering palm print.

Although it was "Baguazhang", he used it extremely fiercely and domineeringly.

"Bang!"

A masked man in black suddenly burst into blood and flew more than ten meters from his horse. He fell to the ground and his life or death was unknown.

Another person pulled the reins in surprise and exclaimed: "True Qi Realm?"

"Quickly retreat!"

There was a strange whistle from the man's mouth, and the men in black who were still fighting quickly fled.

The whole process was orderly and clearly no ordinary gangster.

In addition to the corpses of the guards, there were only three corpses of masked men in black left in the field.

The leader of the previous guard came over, hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, young master, for your generous action."

Lin Mangxian glanced at him and said calmly: "I didn't take action to save you."

If they weren't looking for death themselves, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to the killings of these gangsters.

Since ancient times, heroes have believed that those who break the law are no better than corrupt officials.

He stepped towards the body of a man in black, pulled off his mask, and groped around the body.

He frowned and reached out to take off the corpse's clothes.

Lin Mang's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "Mingjiao!"

On the left chest of the corpse, there is a flame pattern the size of a thumb carved on it.

This is the sacred fire symbol exclusive to the Ming Cult, and all members of the Ming Cult have it engraved on their bodies.

In today's world, Mingjiao is one of the top demon sects.

Lin Mang turned to look at the guard leader on the side and asked curiously: "How did you get into trouble with the Ming Cult people?"

The guard leader was also stunned for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat quickly broke out on his forehead.

Lin Mang frowned, suddenly feeling that things were not that simple.

Judging from the expression on the guard leader's face, he didn't seem to know anything about it, nor did he seem to be faking it.

He looked down at the corpses of the "Ming Cult" members on the ground, then looked at the masks, and suddenly came to his senses.

I thought it was strange just now, but now I think about it, since these people have Mingjiao symbols tattooed on their bodies, isn’t it a bit unnecessary to add this mask?

It seems a bit framed.

But given the notorious reputation of Mingjiao, is it necessary to frame him?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these people are Mingjiao members.

Glancing at the carriage parked not far away, he suddenly became a little curious about the owner of the carriage.

Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Lin Mang stood up and planned to leave.

But at this time, the guard leader hurriedly said: "Young Master, can you please leave your name? I'll wait..."

"No need!" Before the other party could speak, Lin Mang raised his hand to interrupt, got on his horse, and said calmly: "I told you, I didn't take action to save you."

What is the idea of ​​the guard leader? He is not stupid.

If you want him to escort you, you have to be able to afford the escort fee!

…

After running for nearly an hour, Lin Mang finally arrived outside Dongchang City.

The crowds are huge!

After looking at the long queue at the gate, Lin Mang rode directly to the city gate. A few soldiers were about to scold them, but then they saw a copper token in front of them.

"Jinyi Qinjun!"

"My lord please!"

Just these four simple words made everyone's expressions change, and they immediately moved out of the way with respectful expressions.

Early morning, first update,
Chapter completed!
