The two brothers made a tacit agreement not to mention the secret of the flying knife.

Gu Tianqiong was confused and asked: "What are you two giggling about?"

Fu Jingtao coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Gu, this is my junior brother Qiao Hui, who is now in charge of Jubao Pavilion. Junior brother Qiao has recently become obsessed with sculpture, and especially likes to collect works by famous artists. He just picked up a piece of art in the temple.

This master's remnant can be said to be a sign of good fortune, so I am overjoyed."

"Jubao Pavilion?" Gu Tianqiong clicked his tongue, "Your eyes are quite vicious. You treat such a broken piece of wood as a treasure."

Qiao Hui said cautiously: "Uncle Master, it's a pity that this ownerless thing should be abandoned. If I take it away, it won't be considered theft, right?"

Gu Tianqiong said: "Don't worry, I'm not that pedantic hypocrite. Everyone has their own opportunity. If it's yours, just take it."

Qiao Hui smiled and said, "Thank you so much, uncle!"

Fu Jingtao hurriedly changed the subject: "Lao Wu, aren't you leading the caravan eastward? Why are you the only one here?"

Qiao Hui understood it and explained without leaving any trace: "According to the itinerary, the caravan will rest for a few days in Fuchuan City, which is more than forty miles away, do some business and buy some rare specialties, and then head towards Tokyo. Sitting on the ground

There is no need for me to intervene in the acquisition, and I accidentally heard about the reputation of the Reincarnation Temple, so I came here excitedly. Who knew I would meet you. Third child, are you going to the capital as well?"

Fuchuan City is the largest market town in the nearby mountainous area. Because it is not far from Lingyun Peak, it is naturally protected by Xuanyuanmen. Almost no gangs dare to make money violently here. Therefore, merchants gather and trade is developed. Every market day, there are many people

Thousands of people from the Orion Mountains flocked to the city to trade without fear of being extorted.

Fu Jingtao nodded and said: "The Qingyun Ranking of the Great Song Dynasty is about to be unveiled. Including the leader, we all have to rush to Tokyo to support it."

Qiao Hui said with envy: "Third brother, your chance to shine has come! Hey, why isn't Fourth boy with you? He is ranked second on the Qingyun list."

Fu Jingtao gave a brief explanation, not daring to mention that the inner sect elders did not agree with each other. Finally, he smiled at Gu Tianqiong and said, "Uncle Master may not know that the 'Shenxian Zui' wine is made by Junior Brother Qiao. He is here this time

I was ordered to open up the wine business in the Central Plains, and the convoy contained hundreds of jars of immortal drunks. With my uncle’s reputation, it would not be a problem to extort a few jars of good wine from him to drink with him."

Gu Tianqiong's eyes lit up: "It turns out it was you who brewed the Immortal Drunk. The future life is terrible! After drinking the Immortal Drunk, other wines are bland and tasteless, and it is simply difficult to swallow."

Qiao Hui said with a smile: "If my uncle is willing to show his respect and go all the way, if you open your mouth and drink, I will treat you!"

Fu Jingtao raised his thumb and praised: "Good brother, you are so heroic!"

Gu Tianqiong frowned and said, "How can I take advantage of you in vain?"

Qiao Hui smiled and said: "We are all disciples of Xuanyuan. Talking about money is too hurtful. If you feel bad about it, uncle, I will charge you a penny for drinking every day!" He is not stupid. A few bottles of good wine can be exchanged for a top expert guard.

No matter what, it is a sure-profit business.

Gu Tianqiong laughed loudly: "You little guy, you are quite interesting!"

Since Qiao Hui sincerely invited him, and everyone had the same destination, Gu Tianqiong, Fu Jingtao decided to go with them. Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, the three of them hurried down the mountain, followed the path through the forest and valley, and turned onto the official road.

In fact, the so-called official road can only accommodate two horses running side by side. It is winding and winding. Both sides are either steep cliffs, deep valleys or towering ancient trees, making it very narrow.

After walking a few steps along the official road, a shrill scream suddenly erupted in front of me, breaking the tranquility of the mountain. The returning birds were frightened and flew away, circling and refusing to land.

It was almost dusk, the setting sun was shining slantingly, and the red clouds were as red as blood, and there seemed to be invisible evil spirits swirling and steaming.

"Be careful!" Gu Tianqiong reached out and grabbed the iron spear, jumped onto a huge boulder on the side of the road, and took advantage of the geographical advantage. The rivers and lakes are treacherous and dangerous, how can you be careless and underestimate the enemy?

The ground shook, gravel bounced, the sound of rapid iron hooves came from far and near, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing mixed with sharp whistling sounds rolled towards the place where they stood.

Fu Jingtao frowned slightly and whispered: "Lao Wu, please step back!"

Qiao Hui silently took a few steps back, with a burning feeling on his face. He couldn't help but rub the carving knife in his arms, wishing he had mastered the trick of Xiao Gu's flying knife now, so that he no longer had to hide behind his brother in battle and feel so useless.

Young hero, heroic boy!

Who doesn't want to stand up and face a powerful enemy? Who doesn't want to fight off the demons with all his strength? He secretly gritted his teeth and swore that he would impress everyone in the future!

Gu Tianqiong took a deep breath, raised his iron gun across his chest, and cast his piercing eyes towards the end of the road.

The sound of hoofbeats became more intense, like spring thunder.

With a crash, a light carriage rushed through the corner, its wheels spinning at high speed, crunching and screaming, and sand and gravel flying behind the wheels. The driver was a big man in green clothes, gnashing his teeth and whipping the horse, not bothering to wipe the sweat from his head and face.

.

Following closely behind the carriage were five guards in black. They turned around to fire arrows as they fled, or threw out hidden weapons such as spears to prevent the enemy from approaching. However, they saw feathers, arrows and spears intertwining back and forth in the air, followed by cold light.

Like a shooting star.

The pursuers were a group of armored cavalry with black turbans and masks. They did not raise any flags, and took turns stepping forward to shoot arrows, with cold and fierce eyes, like a group of hungry wolves chasing and biting their prey.

The big man driving the car suddenly found someone in front of him. He was first surprised and then overjoyed. He shouted loudly: "I am the manager of Fuchuan Yongchang, and the owner's daughter is sitting in the car! The thief is cruel. I beg you to help me, and you will be rewarded heavily!"

"

Fu Jingtao was eager to give it a try: "Uncle, can we save him or not?"

Gu Tianqiong glanced at the group of masked cavalry with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Jingtao, shoot the horse to warn them!" Before the situation is clear, there is still room for maneuver if the horse is shot rather than the person, otherwise it may lead to death.

"yes!"

Fu Jingtao stood with his feet spread wide, an armor-piercing arrow clasped between his fingers, his left arm straightened the bow, and his right hand pulled the hook string outward. He aimed slightly, loosened his fingers, and the iron arrow roared through the air.

Black light flashed, and the iron arrow pierced the chest of the leading galloping horse, reaching up to its feathers, and blood spurted out. The galloping horse's hooves gave way, and hit the ground with a thud, and the neck bones clicked! With a sound, the bones on the horse's back were broken.

The knight was caught off guard and fell into the dust in a panic, almost being trampled to pieces by his companions.

The Sky-Splitting Bow is a hard bow for foot combat, with a range of more than 150 steps. With Fu Jingtao's eyesight, arm strength, and archery skills, he can kill a tall horse with ease.

The chasing team was suddenly in chaos, and they restrained their mounts and stopped moving forward. Many knights opened their bows and shot at Fu Jingtao, but the range of the riding bows was too short, and the arrows fell limply to the ground halfway through the flight.

Fu Jingtao remained unmoved, opened his bow and shot two arrows in a row.

The speed of his arrows was too fast, and the cavalry in the distance could not wait to dodge. However, after hearing the horses neighing, two more strong horses fell down after being hit by arrows.

The ghosts of all the cavalrymen emerged, shouting: "Quickly retreat!" "It's a prick!" They hurriedly turned their horses' heads and retreated like a tide, and in an instant they were gone.
