Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 38
Without any hesitation, all the men in black rushed forward.

Cold light flickered, blood flew, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard endlessly.

Soon, the remaining guards were all disposed of by Ding Xiu and others.

Zhao Lihe left Ding Xiu five people and ordered them to search for the belongings in the convoy, then he got on a horse and took the remaining three people and galloped in the direction where Wei Zhongxian was escaping.

Along the way, there were corpses and stumps everywhere.

There are also a few unowned war horses gnawing on the weeds by the roadside.

Soon, Zhao Lihe saw Lin Zhongtian's figure.

At this time, it was only about a mile away from the place where the incident happened.

As the distance draws closer, the vision obscured by the mist gradually becomes clearer.

I saw Lin Zhongtian cut a cavalryman's neck with a gun, and then raised his hand to poke, piercing the chest of the last woman in white.

Looking from Zhao Lihe's point of view, he happened to be able to meet the unbelievable eyes of the woman in white.

"Wei Ting..."

Zhao Lihe sighed softly in his heart, and another familiar character withdrew from the stage of history.

Lin Zhongtian pulled out his spear, and let the woman in white fall off the horse's back with her eyes wide open.

Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian rode his horse past her, raised his spear on the horse's back, aimed at the carriage in front of him, and threw it violently.

In an instant, the spear pierced through the air, piercing through the carriage with a destructive force, nailing the groom in front of the carriage and a horse in front left to the ground.

The miserable cry was accompanied by the neighing of the war horse.

The fast-moving carriage overturned in an instant, and slid seven or eight meters away from the ground.

When Lin Zhongtian rushed to the side of the carriage, Wei Zhongxian was crawling out of the window with his face covered in blood.

Lin Zhongtian got off his horse, patted the horse's head, let it rest on the side of the road, then walked to the side of the groom's body, stretched out his hand and pulled out the blood-stained iron gun, turned and walked towards Wei Zhongxian.

It was also at this time that Lin Zhongtian saw Wei Zhongxian's appearance from a human perspective for the first time.

He was dressed in plain white clothes, silver-gray hair, and an old face with age spots. Except for the lack of a beard, everything else was no different from an ordinary old man.

That's right, regardless of his identity and status, Wei Zhongxian is indeed just an old eunuch.

The so-called aura developed by being in a high position all the year round cannot be revealed at all in the face of the crisis at this moment.

After climbing out of the carriage, Wei Zhongxian leaned against the carriage and sat down, his expression seemed to be in shock.

However, when he saw Lin Zhongtian coming with a gun, he calmed down for some reason.

"Who are you?"

Wei Zhongxian asked in that slightly tired voice.

Lin Zhongtian smiled: "The nameless people are not worth mentioning."

Wei Zhongxian stared at his face, and suddenly said: "You are Fu Qingyun."

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Oh? The factory owner has also heard of my name?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed when he heard the words, and seemed to gradually regain his former composure: "The rivers and lakes and the court have never been separated. Although I have lost power now, I was once in power after all. I have also arranged some eyeliners in this rivers and lakes. Naturally, I have heard of it." The big name of the Bone Demon Hand, I just don’t know why your Excellency is chasing me so hard?”

"If it's just for money, there are a thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of brocade in the chariots and horses, enough..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian's voice stopped abruptly, and his old eyes fixed on the man who dismounted in front of him.

Looking at the face in memory, Wei Zhongxian's expression gradually became dazed.

"Oh it's you!"

"Didn't expect, old man, you and I will meet again."

Zhao Lihe walked over with a smile, holding a rope in his hand, and tied Wei Zhongxian up.

Wei Zhongxian knew Zhao Lihe's martial arts skills, so he didn't resist. He just stared at him and sighed: "When the emperor took you down, I suggested that he execute you immediately. It's a pity that the emperor is too young to commit a crime." The problem of being soft-hearted, so that it led to a big mistake, and let you out, a thief who is a disaster for the country..."

"I'm a thief who brings disaster to the country, so what are you?"

Zhao Lihe laughed angrily at Wei Zhongxian's words, and couldn't help but refute.

Wei Zhongxian laughed when he heard the words: "Although I, Wei Zhongxian, have power over the government and caused chaos in the court, I have never been disloyal to Daming, but you are different. I have heard of your theory before. In digging out the roots of the Zhu family's imperial power, compared with you, I am just a disease of scabies, and you are the real disaster for the country!"

"Humph!"

Zhao Lihe snorted coldly, and was about to argue with him.

Lin Zhongtian suddenly slapped Wei Zhongxian on the back of the head, knocking him out.

"Okay, it's almost done. You have already decided to rebel. What else is there to talk about? Take him back first. Just now, Wei Ting fired a signal flare, and Fucheng County will respond soon. We have to catch up with him." Evacuate this place before the officers, soldiers and Jin Yiwei."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhongtian paused, and then said: "Of course, if you want to stay and compete with them, I don't mind."

Seeing that Lin Zhongtian had said that, what else could Zhao Lihe say, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go now!"

The two got on their horses, and Zhao Lihe took Wei Zhongxian away first, while Lin Zhongtian returned to the convoy, and together with Ding Xiu and others moved the most valuable belongings to the two carriages, and drove the horses away.

After a while, a group of officers and soldiers rushed over cautiously, and when they saw the tragic situation on the official road, they were shocked.

Soon, the entire city of Fucheng County was under martial law, and two or three messengers galloped towards the capital on horseback.

Lu Jianxing and others, who were hiding in Fucheng County, sensed something was wrong, immediately revealed their identities, led people away from Fucheng County, and saw Wei Zhongxian and his party's chariots and horses on the official road.

"Who the hell did this?"

Lu Jianxing and his Jin Yiwei were all shocked.

Shen Lian frowned, carefully inspecting the battle traces in the convoy.

Jin Yichuan took a few glances. Even though he already knew that Zhao Lihe and Lin Zhongtian did it, he still couldn't help being surprised and shocked when he saw this situation.

After making up his mind, Jin Yichuan came to Shen Lian's side and asked in a low voice.

"Second brother, did you find anything?"

"Some, but not many."

Shen Lian pointed at the corpse in front of him with a heavy face and said, "Look, although the corpses here are in miserable condition, most of them have only one fatal wound, and they should have been killed by a single blow. The person is split in half abruptly from the middle, which shows that the person who made the strike is extremely powerful, and the moves are simple, yet ruthless and precise."

"This style doesn't look like an ordinary Jianghu killer, but rather..."

Speaking of this, Shen Lian hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help recalling the Shura scene in the Battle of Salhu eight years ago in his mind.

Jin Yichuan understood Shen Lian's meaning, followed his words calmly and said, "It looks like those generals in the army!"

"A titan in the army?"

Lu Jianxing was startled when he heard the words, then he glanced at his colleagues in Jin Yiwei who were still in shock, pulled Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan aside, and said in a low voice pointedly.

"Could it be..."

"impossible!"

Shen Lian understood what he meant, and shook his head: "The emperor has already sent us here, there is absolutely no way to do anything more, unless that Eunuch Zhao wants to take this opportunity to get rid of you and me."

"But the three of us have never provoked him, why did he get rid of us?"

"This is what I think is impossible." Shen Lian analyzed calmly, "So I think, compared to the possibility that the emperor will send another person to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, the probability of Wei Zhongxian directing and acting himself is higher!"

"Self-directed and acted?" Jin Yichuan asked in surprise, "Why?"
