Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 12 Attacked
The group went out the door and got on the horse and galloped away. The horse's hoof was like the wind. After three days, they reached their first destination, Nansha County.

The rudder master Liu Weiqi led people to wait at the gate of the mansion early.

"Brother Qin, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you for a long time, and the heroic appearance is even worse!" Liu Weiqi bowed his hands to Qin Luo and laughed.

"Liu Duozhu is too famous, you really have the same style."

"Hey! Who is this little brother?" Liu Weiqi looked at Tangning beside Qin Luo and asked in confusion.
"Master Liu, let me introduce you, this is the new disciple of the gang master, Junior Brother Tangning."

"Oh, it turned out to be little brother Tang, forgive Liu for being clumsy. In the past year, I was out for something and couldn't attend the event, so I didn't know each other. Come and come, all brothers have worked hard all the way. Liu has prepared the food and drinks. It will be late. , go to the palace to rest for a while."

Everyone followed him to the house for a big meal, and Liu Weiqi and a few people around him frequently persuaded him to drink.

Qin Luo was a good drinker, so naturally he would not refuse anyone who came. The rest of the people were also very drunk, even Tangning was no exception.

The next day, everyone came to the council hall and sat down in priority and second order. Liu Weiqi and Qin Luo chatted gossip. After a while, two people came from outside the door with a stack of ledgers.

Liu Weiqi gestured to them, and the two put the ledger in front of Qin Luo.

"Brother Qin, this is this year's account. Let me take you to the horse ranch to see it!"

Qin Luo nodded, and the group followed Liu Weiqi all the way to the ranch, leaving only three people there to check the accounts.

The entire horse ranch covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres and raises [-] horses of various kinds.

Liu Weiqi introduced the situation here one by one, how many were produced this year, how many were sold, how many new stallions were brought in, and when everyone returned, the sun was setting.

After dinner, the group came to Qin Luo's house.

"How is it?" Qin Luo asked

"The accounts are generally correct, there are only some small questions. I asked a few people, and they all said they didn't know." One replied.

"what is the problem?"

"There are five excellent Yuxue horses that are missing. The account for three hundred white horses is [-] taels, but the market price of this kind of horses is [-] and [-]. There is a difference of [-] taels. There is still an account. Thirty horses were bought at the price of three hundred taels, but in fact only twenty horses were bought, and the account of about [-] taels of silver did not match up."

Qin Luo nodded: "Okay, let's stop here! I will leave for Xihe County tomorrow."

On the third day, Qin Luo led the crowd to bid Liu Weiping farewell. Liu Weiping sent them all the way out of the house. When they parted, the two servants gave each one a bag of silver taels. Tangning saw that the others accepted it, so she accepted it as well.

"Senior Brother Qin, what should I do with the unrecorded accounts?" Tangning asked Qin Luo on a white horse.

"Report truthfully when you return to the gang."

"What will the gang do? Punish them?"

Qin Luo smiled: "No."

"Why? The accounts don't match up, which means they are falsifying. Why aren't they held accountable?"

"You'll understand later."

Downing paused, "What about the money they gave us privately! Do you want to report it to the gang?"

"No need, don't worry! This kind of thing is an open secret, everyone knows it, it's the same whether you say it or not, no one will care about that little money."

"Oh, Brother Qin, I have one more thing to ask you."

"what's up?"

"The accounts don't match, why didn't you ask him to clarify?"

"No need to ask him."

"Be careful." Before Tangning asked, Qin Luo suddenly shouted.

Before he finished speaking, dozens of arrows shot from all directions.

The sudden change shocked everyone, but fortunately, these people are all veterans, and they have been in battle for a long time.

Tangning pulled out the sword from her waist and blocked several arrows coming towards her. The situation in front of him made him too late to think, he just reacted instinctively.

"Ah! Ah!" There were two screams from behind, followed by the neighing of horses.

Tangning looked back and saw that the two of them had been hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Their faces quickly turned from swarthy to jet-black, with a lifeless expression on their faces.

"The arrow is poisonous." Seeing this scene, one person shouted, his face changed greatly, and more than ten people were killed in the nearby weeds in the panic, wearing black clothes and black hoods.

"Let's go." Qin Luo shouted, turning his horse back

"Let's go." With a loud shout, Tangning raised her head, only to see someone jumping up and down, slashing at him with the sound of howling wind, his sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

It turned out that these people hid on the branches early in the morning.

It seemed that it had been planned for a long time, specifically to come to herself and others, Tangning thought to herself, turning her body slightly to avoid the sword.

The man didn't expect Tangning to be able to dodge this blow so easily. He was slightly startled, the sword slashed and slashed across. Suddenly, a cold feeling penetrated into his heart, and the strength in his body was drained in an instant. null.

A long sword pierced through his chest at some point.

What a fast sword, the man looked at the long sword on his chest with a look of horror, and then lost consciousness.

Tangning pulled the sword out of the man's body and jumped off the horse's back.

With a flash of sword light, Tangning and the man crossed each other. Before he could slash at the second man, the man was about to turn around to chase after Tangning, but found a hole in his abdomen and blood gushing out.
Tangning slashed the three in a row, and the surrounding men in black were horrified and turned away.

The Meteor Sword Art is a superior swordsmanship, known for its speed, and the sword's momentum is erratic, like a meteor.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

The last sentence of the Meteor Sword Score says so

Tangning took this opportunity to turn around and stab at the person Qin Luo was entangled with. He had noticed just now that this person had the highest martial arts skills and should be the leader of this group.

Qin Luo retreated steadily under his offensive, and fell behind.

Tangning's figure was very fast, she was behind him in a few breaths, and the bright sword stabbed at his vest.

clang.The man leaned slightly, the two fingers of his right hand were clamped on the tip of the sword, and there was a sound of metal colliding.

Tangning was shocked, the sharp sword in her hand was pinched between his two fingers, unable to move at all.

Kaka, a cracking sound was heard from the tip of the sword. In desperation, Tangning concentrated all her inner strength on her arm and sent it out instantly through the blade.

The tip of the sword cracked, and the man in black suddenly retracted his right hand, only to see a blood hole running through his palm.

"Sword Qi." The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed as he hit Tangning with his left palm.

Tangning placed one of his palms against him. Between the two palms, a huge force came. He couldn't help but fly upside down and fell to the ground. His internal organs were surging. His eyes were black and blood spurted out. out.

"It's beyond your own power." The man in black snorted coldly and retracted his palm.
"Watch out."

The man in black turned around and saw three silver-white round objects flying towards him. Without thinking, he quickly stepped back.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the sky was filled with dust.

Tangning felt that someone was holding her back, and then she became light, and she was already on the back of a horse.

"Chase or not?" A man in black asked as Tangning and the others rode their horses and galloped away.

"Forget it." The head man waved his hand: "The goal has been achieved, don't chase after the poor, hurry up and clean this place, don't leave any evidence."

He glanced at the bloody left leg that was blown up, and snorted coldly: "Palm Thunder, I didn't expect them to carry this kind of thing, and they are dead."

"Who was that kid just now, why didn't the intelligence mention it at all."

"I do not know either."

"It's amazing to be able to use sword energy at a young age."

…………

Everyone rushed back to the sub-rudder all the way. Liu Weiqi was shocked when he saw this. After a brief understanding of the situation, he personally took the team to the place where everyone was attacked.

When Tangning woke up, Qin Luo and several others were there, and they were discussing something. Seeing him wake up, Qin Luo walked forward, "Are you feeling better?"

Tangning nodded. He had fainted on the horse before. Now that he woke up, he still felt dizzy and uncomfortable, but he was much better than before.

Seeing that it was dark outside the window, he realized that he had fainted for at least several hours: "Senior Brother Qin, where is this?"

"Here is the sub-rudder, don't worry! It's alright, you have a good rest, Liu Duozhu has sent someone to report to the gang leader. We are here for the past few days, waiting for the order before deciding the next move."

Tangning glanced at everyone with a look of resentment.

There were sixteen people at the time of departure, and now there are only seven people left including myself.

"Brother Qin, do you know who ambushed us?"

Qin Luo shook his head: "It's not clear yet."

"Could it be Master Liu?"

Qin Luo's face changed slightly: "Why do you say that?"

The rest of the people also looked at him solemnly.

"Because we just found out that his sub-rudder is cheating."

When they heard the comparison, everyone's expressions loosened, and they shook their heads helplessly. They thought Tangning had really discovered something. If it was Liu Weiqi, then they would have thrown themselves into the net.

"No, you still don't understand this aspect, let me tell you briefly! In fact, every sub-rudder has this kind of account fraud, and the gang acquiesce to this situation. They have their own difficulties, just For example, dealing with the local government, it is inevitable to spend money and bribes, as long as it is not too much, this kind of thing is actually an open secret."

Tangning nodded in understanding, and said to the big man in front, "Brother Zhang, thank you very much."

It was this big man named Zhang Meng who rescued him just now.

Zhang Meng waved his hand: "Brother Tang, you're polite, this is what it should be. Besides, if something happens to you, how can we explain to the leader."

"Vice Hall Master Qin, the helmsman is back, please come over." A man's voice came from outside the door.

"Master Liu is back. Let's go over first to see if he has found any clues. You can rest here first." Qin Luo said.

Tangning nodded.

.....................

"How is it? Are there any clues?" Qin Luo asked as soon as he entered the conference room.

"I found the place where you were attacked. Except for the remnants of the fight, there is nothing else. I have sent people to search for a radius of [-] miles, and I haven't encountered the suspicious group you mentioned."

"Their goals are very clear and they are very clear about our dynamics, so they set up an ambush there in advance."

"If they were looking at you early in the morning, it should be easy to know your action time and route. With such a group of people, they are not disguised, just send a spy to follow."

Qin Luo nodded: "The man at the head is very good at claw skills. He has deep internal skills and is about forty or fifty years old. There is no such master in your area."

"Masters with powerful claw skills, there should be no such people in this area, you can stay here with peace of mind! I will send someone to investigate in the next few days, maybe I can find a clue."
