When the sword comes out of Emei, I will be the front

Chapter 30 Everyone has their own agenda, who can tell the truth from the lies?

From Dadu to Juyongguan, it is about a hundred miles away.

From Juyongguan, we go west along the Taihang Mountains to Juyongguan, about [-] miles away.

If you are traveling in a hurry, four or five days will be enough.

However, everyone set off and walked for a day. Before they reached Juyong Pass, Ye Guhong realized that something was wrong.

Along the way, Uwang Sampo first claimed that he was hungry and wanted to go into the woods from time to time, so the team had to stop and wait.

There was another monk, Modosiba, who had a big fight with a escort team for no reason because of "What are you looking at?" inside.

Not to mention that they had cars and horses, even if they only relied on their feet, they wouldn't be able to walk only this small distance.

What's more, as a royal warrior, you naturally have some rules. However, these people clearly received orders to do important things, but they pooped and fought. As the great gentleman who was worshiped, they just let it go. How could they do it? Not weird?
  Finally arriving at Juyong Pass the next day, Moduosiba actually had another fight with the soldiers guarding the pass. Later, when Mr. Da saw that the defenders were at war with each other, he took out the royal family's cards and negotiated to get through.

At this time, Master Miejie also noticed that something was wrong, and discussed with Ye Guhong privately while staying at the hotel: Could it be that these guys are unhappy because they have delayed the Chinese New Year, and want to make such trouble?

Ye Guhong shook his head and said: "To them, running errands for the prince's palace, as long as they have merit, what does it mean if they don't live up to the New Year? Master, it seems now that the Ruyang Prince's Palace is not monolithic. When you walk on the road tomorrow, what will happen to you? Pay attention to the people passing by, especially those with martial arts skills."

On the night of the third day, Miejie quietly told Ye Guhong that she saw several beggars and monks appearing at the front and back of the team one after another today. They were quite sneaky. Moreover, these people walked briskly and were obviously skilled in martial arts.

Ye Guhong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm afraid some people really believe what I say and want to steal this opportunity. Haha, as expected, they should get up in two days."

Miejie thought thoughtfully and said: "So, those monks must be related to Moduosiba. As for those beggars... Could it be that Dongfang Bai faked his death and quit the beggar gang, and there is a hidden secret behind it?"

Ye Guhong said with a bad smile: "No matter what the reason is, it will be convenient for us to escape - when his chaos is over, we will drive the carriage straight back to Emei and let them go."

The next day, Ye Guhong refused to ride the mule again, so Da Lala sat next to the handlebar and wanted to learn how to drive the mule with him.

These handlebars were all servants of the prince's palace, and they had long been informed. They knew that Ye Guhong was the little prince Anda. When he saw that he wanted to learn to drive a cart, he thought he was a playful child, but he did not dare to neglect. He taught him how to drive a horse in a serious manner. .

Ye Guhong's talent for learning was not solely focused on learning martial arts. In just one day's work, he was able to drive a carriage in a semblance of a manner.

The handlebar was not at ease at first, sitting next to him and always ready to take over. Another day later, he saw Ye Guhong driving the carriage as fast as flying. Then he got off the car in wonder and rode Ye Guhong's mule. On the way.

Miejie abandoned the mule and sat next to Ye Guhong.

When others saw it, they just thought that the master was worried about his disciple's safety, and they didn't have any thoughts.

On the sixth day, a group of people passed by the foot of Hengshan Mountain and reached a valley. Suddenly they heard a whistle blowing. Dozens of beggars jumped out of the forest. The leader was a man with eight sacks tied around his waist and shouted: "These are the Tatars who are going to rob our gang's important treasure. Don't hold back any of our brothers. Let's work together to annex them!"

A group of beggars screamed in unison, some were holding swords, some were holding spears and forks, and they were attacking from all directions.

Ye Guhong turned to look at Mr. Da and shouted sternly: "Mr. Da, what kind of trick is this?"

Mr. Da frowned and stared at the beggars for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If it's not my fault, I've already severed all ties with the beggar gang."

After saying that, he jumped off his horse, raised a sword in his hand, and stabbed a beggar who was rushing towards him to death. Then, one man and one sword guarded the front, and the sword was as powerful as the wind, killing seven or eight people in an instant.

Four people, Wuwang Shenpu and Wu Wangshenpu also took action at the same time, each looking for a direction to attack. Even those on the handlebars took out their bows and arrows to shoot.

Although there were many people in the beggar gang, there were no real masters in charge. Soon after the fight, more than half of the men and horses were killed. The seven-bag beggar shouted: "The idea is pricking your hands, retreat quickly, retreat quickly." After being chased one after another, no more than ten beggars were able to escape in the end.

When Wuwang Shenpu and others returned, Ye Guhong stood up in the car, looked around at everyone, and sneered: "Ye would like to ask you, how do these beggars know that the things we want to take are related to the beggar gang?"

Wu Wangshenpu sneered and said: "It's surprising! You masters and disciples can know this news, but others can't? Although you are the little prince's Anda, you are not qualified to question us."

A cold light flashed in Miejie's eyes, and he stared at Uwang Sampu.

Mr. Da shook his head and said: "No need to ask me anyway. Besides, these people are not real beggars."

After hearing this, Ye Guhong frowned and looked at the dead bodies. As expected, many of them had fair skin and no dirt on their bodies. Their clothes looked tattered, but they were not dirty or smelly. Instead, they seemed to be deliberately pretending to be beggars. .

He thought to himself: If these people are really not from the Beggar Clan, the false news about Yanmen's fate will spread more and more widely.

He originally guessed that Dongfang Bai and the Beggar Clan were somewhat disconnected, and they didn't want the Beggar Clan's secret skills to fall into the hands of others - especially since several moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm were lost.

In addition, there are many Fan monks in Dadu, and it is estimated that there are one or even several groups of forces, and among them may be the disciple of the Wangfu monk Modo Siba. It is normal for this guy to deliberately leak it.

As for the two demons of Xuan Ming and Ming, they are obviously unwilling to follow. Who knows if they covet the magical power and want to have an oriole behind them? Otherwise, eating Wuwang Sampu by chance would ruin your stomach?
  But at this moment, it seems that the gangs of monks and beggar gangs are also riddled with holes, so that news will continue to leak out, and more and more people will be involved.

To those who were latecomers, the news coming out from Ruyang Prince's Mansion sounded extremely reliable, and they no longer had any doubts.

Ye Guhong naturally knew the power of rumors, but he did not expect that in today's era of extremely inconvenient communication, the speed of spread would be so amazing.

Secretly, I was a little scared: If this false news really attracts a lot of people, and if anyone among them knows Master Miejie, it will be a big trouble if word spreads.

He calmed down and nodded: "That's all, I shouldn't doubt you guys. It's just that when we work for the prince, if we take advantage of others, even if the prince doesn't take responsibility and hangs out in the palace in the future, I'm afraid he will be looked down upon by his colleagues. . Therefore, Xiao Ke suggested that it is better to divide the troops into two groups, one overt and the other covert. First, they can support each other. Second, even if they eat people along the way, at least there is still one way they can count on. No matter which way succeeds, everyone will win. What do you think of your contribution?"

Mr. Da sighed, shook his head slightly and said: "If we unite, we are strong; if we divide, we are weak."

Wuwang Shenpu rolled his eyes, but said: "I think Mr. Ye is right. There is still more than two hundred miles from Yanmen Pass, and there are already people blocking it. When we get to Yanmen Pass, we don't know what the situation is, so we simply go separate ways. , much more flexible. It’s just——”

This seemingly simple and strong man suddenly smiled sinisterly: "Your master and apprentice have been exposed in Jiangzhou, so it is only appropriate that your master and apprentice should be the open road, and we will be the secret road. Of course, you If you are afraid, we will discuss it later."

Ye Guhong suddenly said angrily: "Afraid? Humph, a clear path is a clear path! A clear path may be more troublesome, but my master's divine sword is invincible, who should I be afraid of?"

After saying that, he shook the reins and said angrily: "Let me show you why the prince bothers to ask my master to make offerings!"

After that, he drove the carriage ahead and went straight on the road.

When he was far away, Wu Wangshenpu grinned and said: "He is a little kid after all. Although he is a little clever, why don't you try to challenge me? Brothers, please let Nun Namei clear the way for us."

But at this time, there was no trace of anger on Ye Guhong's face. He pulled the cart and took his master with him, driving through the wind and lightning, leaving the team behind him far away.

Miejie asked curiously: "Are we going to abandon them and go home?"

Ye Guhong shook his head and said: "No! Since the rumor has spread, there must be dangers ahead. Are you really going to compete with those people for any opportunity?"

He drove for more than [-] miles and found a highway. Seeing that there were ruts everywhere, Ye Guhong smiled and pulled the car towards a fork in the road: "Let's find a county town, find a secluded inn, and live there peacefully." Half a month later, let’s make further calculations.”
