On the mountain trail leading to Shuangliu Town, Guo Xiu galloped on her horse. She had been galloping like this continuously for a day and night, changing horses three times. This last time she used two strong horses to ride alternately. She was still 20 kilometers away from Shuangliu Town. Here, Guo Xiu's mood did not relax at all, but became even more nervous, not only because of the extremely important news she wanted to convey to him, but also because of the scenes he saw along the way.

This is not the shortest way for her to enter Shuangliu Town. Yesterday, she was blocked by the Chu family's army and had to abandon the main road and go to Shuangliu Town via this more rugged path. But just now, half an hour ago, she was only 50 meters away from Shuangliu Town. While inside, Guo Xiu unexpectedly discovered another army, an army that should never appear here.

It turned out to be Wen Xiaotian's cavalry army. Although there were only 3,000 people, they were definitely as elite as ten. There was no need to think about their purpose of coming here. Guo Xiu also knew that it was for Liang Yong, but what she couldn't believe was that the Wen family and the Chu family had always been at odds with each other. In harmony, how could the Chu family allow the elite soldiers of the Wen family to enter Chu territory to encircle Liang Yong? Moreover, they saw two large armies one after another, which proved that they were doing a joint operation. To impress the Chu family to let them go and fully cooperate, it was by no means a mere 2 million taels of gold. What can be done is that the big family does not lack this little money.

Guo Xiu couldn't understand the reason, but one thing was certain. Liang Yong was in danger, a particularly huge danger. He must notify Liang Yong as soon as possible so that he could jump out of the encirclement of the two armies as soon as possible and leave Chu Diyue. The further away the better.

The horse under his crotch had lost its strength. Guo Xiu whipped it hard with the whip, but it still ran slower and slower. Guo Xiu gritted his teeth and jumped onto another horse. At the same time, he loosened the reins of the horse, abandoned it, and rode away. On the last leg of the journey, she had to enter Shuangliu Town before dark, otherwise she would be delayed for another day.

The city gates of Shuangliu Town are not open at night, and depending on the situation, it will only take a day or two for the Chu and Chu armies to encircle them. If it is delayed for one night, Liang Yong may become a mortal enemy.

Not only the horses were tired, but Guo Xiu was also tired. It was all her spirit that supported her. In order to fulfill her promise to Liang Yong, and for Gu Xiaoqi, she had traveled tens of thousands of miles, from the other side of the fairyland continent to here, just It took more than 20 days. From the moment she got the news from Liang Yong, she set off without even having time to fully prepare. By now, not only was she exhausted to the limit, but the silver and supplies she brought with her were also exhausted, and the horse under her was already exhausted. It is her last asset.

Seeing the city gate of Shuangliu Town from a distance, Guo Xiu felt happy, and her spirit was shaken and she shouted: "Come on,"

The whip whipped the horse to urge it to run faster, but the horse had reached its limit. Seeing the city gate right in front of him, it couldn't run. No matter how hard Guo Xiu whipped it, it still moved slowly. Seeing that it was only 20 It's almost time, and two villagers are cleaning up the suspension bridge and preparing to close the city gate.

Guo Xiu was so anxious that he jumped off his horse and ran forward, shouting: "Wait, wait, I want to enter the city."

I quickly rushed to the suspension bridge and was about to rush over, but I was blocked by the villagers who said, "Why is it so late? I have to pay the tax to get in."

"Pay taxes," Guo Xiu was stunned, and then she remembered that she was already penniless. Every walled town in the fairy world had rules for collecting entrance taxes. She understood this, but now she really had no money.

It was of course useless to plead with the villagers. Guo Xiu waved to them and said: "Wait, wait for me for a while, I will pay the tax immediately, wait for me."

After saying that, he ran back the same way. The horse that couldn't run was so tired that it collapsed on the ground. Guo Xiu walked over, punched, kicked, and whipped the horse, drove the horse up, pulled the horse back step by step, and pulled the reins to the ground. The villagers put something in their hands and said, "Use this to offset the tax."

"This..." The two villagers were a little dumbfounded.

The tax is only ten copper coins, but this horse is worth dozens of taels of silver. Although the horse is not in good condition now, it is still tired. As long as it has a good rest and is fed with good fodder, it can recover quickly. This girl Are you stupid?

"I have no money, I only have this horse," Guo Xiu explained helplessly, and without waiting for their answer, she walked onto the suspension bridge and entered the city.

Only then did Zhuang Min react, but he kindly reminded Guo Xiu from behind: "Young lady, you should also look for Mr. Liang Yong to make a fortune. Just go straight to the Good Luck Inn after entering the door. But I advise you to have a good rest at night before visiting. There are many All the masters were left behind by Young Master Liang Yong..."

The people of the village are not officers and soldiers, but they still maintain the simplicity of farmers. They are a little embarrassed to suddenly receive such a big gift from Guo Xiu.

What followed them was even more special. They carefully pushed the horses into the city. After going up the drawbridge and closing the city gate, they saw the horses lying on the ground so tired that they were reluctant to drive them away. They even found ropes to carry the horses home, as ordinary poor people. People, this horse is a huge wealth.

Liang Yong is very annoyed. To be precise, he has been very annoyed from noon to now. He is so annoyed that he wants to bang his head against the wall, and he is so annoyed that he wants to kill someone with a knife.

What bothered him so much was not the heroes of the world, nor the profiteer Xiaoxiao, but a wretched, bald, crippled old man. Ever since Liang Yong walked to the city gate at noon and was spotted by the old man, he had been in trouble.

When the old man first came to Liang Yong, Liang Yong thought he was a beggar, so he took out a few pieces of silver and gave it to him. Have a meal,"

Holy shit, when did I, the mighty Liang Daxia, ever serve anyone, I was still an old beggar.

Liang Yong naturally shook his head firmly and objected, but the old man actually stopped him and insisted on carrying Liang Yong out for a dinner. Liang Yong was stunned because he couldn't do anything to him. He couldn't see any effort from the old man. He was just a poor man. For an ordinary old man, Liang could crush him with one punch, but Hero Liang had never had the habit of bullying the weak. If the opponent was a martial arts master, he would be able to beat him, but the opponent was just a weak old man, so Liang Yong had to decide how to attack.

He tried to reason with the old man, but nothing made sense. Liang Yong had no choice but to spend five taels of silver to ask Zhuang Min next to him to carry the old man to a feast, but the old man happily sat on the sedan chair and still held on to Liang Yong's sleeves. Asking Liang Yong to accompany him, the following conversation occurred.

"Uncle, I asked someone to carry you to a big dinner and provide you with food for the next month. What else do you want?"

"Old man, I'm lonely and I want you to stay with me."

"But I'm not anyone like you. I have other things to do and can't accompany you."

"You are my relative, you are my relative, you are the direct disciple of my old naughty boy, if you don't accompany me, who will accompany me,"

"...When did I become your apprentice? Don't talk nonsense,"

"Although you haven't become my teacher yet, you will become my teacher soon. There are countless good boys in the world who want to become my teacher, but I don't like them. I only like you. My good disciples, let's go to a restaurant to have a good meal." After drinking enough, I will become a disciple.”

You also admit that I am not your disciple yet, and I don’t want to be your master at all. Besides, why do you want to be my master? Liang Yong was cursing in his heart, but he could only persuade him with nice words, but no matter how he persuaded him, the old man would just catch him.
