Chapter 2: On the way [Part 2]

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong and their group followed the Guan Road. There would be a station every half day or day on the Guan Road. Of course, this "half-day" journey is calculated based on horse speed. If you walk, you might have to sleep and walk all day.

At dusk, Zhang Yuan and his party rushed to the second inn on Guan Road in Anmincheng and Qingquancheng. After entering the inn, they first ate some food and then ordered two guest rooms. Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong lived in the same room, while other guards lived in the same room.

Zhang Yuan entered the guest room and found that the guest room was very simple. There were two flat beds on each room, one left and one right, and each bed had a quilt that was not too shabby.

At this time, Zhang Chong walked into the guest room with a gray sack on his back, looked at the room after entering, and then said to Zhang Yuan: "Fourth brother, I brought you a new bedding and I will give you a bed."

Zhang Chong said as he put the gray sack on the ground, took out a brand new bedding from it, and threw it on the bed on the right. Then he took out another quilt and placed it on the bed on the left, and then took out some messy snacks.

"... Qiankun Bag?" Zhang Yuan looked at Zhang Chong with some surprise, then looked at the gray sack. It looked bulging and heavy, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Second brother, you won't bring you guys too, right?"

The so-called "good thing" is actually some kitchen utensils. Some of these kitchen utensils were specially made by Zhang Chong for a large sum of money, and some kitchen utensils from the earth that Zhang Yuan found in Santa's red cloth bag.

When Zhang Yuan moved back to the Zhang Mansion from his new home, it was the red cloth bag that Zhang Chong carried. When Zhang Chong helped organize the things inside the red cloth bag, he found several "kitchen treasures", such as: kitchen knives, non-stick pots, universal wipes, spoons, shovels, etc., and a hand-crank juicer.

"Hehe, of course you have to carry the food with you guys." Zhang Chongteng smiled.

"Hehe." Zhang Yuan smiled, then looked at the gray sack and said, "Second brother, your Qiankun bag..."

Before Zhang Yuan could finish speaking, Zhang Chong spoke, "This Qiankun bag is too conspicuous and can easily attract outsiders' attention. Put a sack so that it will not attract attention."

"Oh." Zhang Yuan then responded, then began to tidy up the bedding, and then lay down on the bed with his clothes. Zhang Chong was the same. The two of them were bumping for a day and were a little tired, not to mention that they would have to get up early tomorrow, so they didn't talk and went to bed early.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was the second half of the night...

Zhang Chong suddenly sat up from the bed, put his left hand in his ear, listened for a while, then turned over and got out of the bed, put on his shoes, walked to Zhang Yuan's bed, pushed Zhang Yuan's shoulder, and called softly: "Fourth brother, wake up."

Zhang Yuan was sleeping soundly and suddenly noticed someone pushing his shoulders. He was quite alert. Zhang Chong called him just and Zhang Yuan woke up immediately. Then he looked at Zhang Chong in front of the bed and asked, "Second brother? What's wrong?"

"There is movement outside, don't sleep anymore. It seems that someone is fighting. Get up quickly, I'll wake up the guard next door." Zhang Chong said as he walked to the door, quietly opened the door, and then walked out of the room.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes, then walked to the duffel bag, took out the Black Wind Sword, holding a weapon in his hand, and felt much more at ease. At this time, the sound of weapons colliding outside the post station suddenly erupted, and there was also the neighing sound of horses.

When the horses neighed, the guests at the entire inn were awakened. Some brave martial arts people walked out of the inn to check the situation outside, and then...

"Come on! The horses are all running away! Stop! Stop!"

"Bitch, that grandson killed my horse!"

"How could it happen!?"

"Not good! All the horses in the horse shed were killed!"

There was a mess outside and there was a lot of cursing. When Zhang Yuan heard that the horse in the horse shed had been let go or killed, he suddenly thought of his white horse and was shocked. His white horse was recruited from the horse sign. In order not to attract attention, he sent the white horse to the horse shed at the post station like an ordinary horse. Unexpectedly, he would encounter trouble in this way.

"Fourth brother! Something happened to the horse shed, come with me!" Zhang Chong's voice suddenly sounded at the door. Zhang Yuan looked at the door and saw that Zhang Chong and several guards were all at the door, so he hurried over. Then the group walked down the stairs, walked out of the gate of the station, and headed straight for the horse shed. There were many guests along the way, all of whom went to the horse shed.

Zhang Yuan and his group walked near the horse shed and saw a lot of people gathering outside the horse shed, and some people were questioning the post station owner, who was sad and apologizing constantly.

Zhang Yuan didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to know if his white horse was in trouble now. He walked into the horse shed directly. With the help of the moonlight, Zhang Yuan could see that the horse shed was covered with horse corpses and blood, but there were still a few horses intact, and Zhang Yuan's white horse was one of them.

"Huh, it's okay." Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said intimidatingly.

At this moment, another person suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, Li Kai, in Xiatian Sword Sect, today's affairs are somewhat related to our Tianjian Sect. I'll apologize first. Our Tianjian Sect will make a claim for all horses. The horses are discounted by 50 taels, and there is another 50 taels of silver to make up for your losses. Please forgive me."

As soon as Li Kai finished speaking, people around him were talking, and Zhang Chong pulled Zhang Yuan back and told Zhang Yuan about what he had just found out.

"Fourth brother, you really guessed it. Li Dong led a group of people to chase Chen Feng, but Chen Feng ran away. However, this bastard was so unkind. Before escaping, he actually let some of the horses in the horse shed go away and killed some of them. Only three of our horses are left. Damn it!" Zhang Chong's expression seemed a little gloating, and at the same time he was a little angry.

"Fortunately, there was no problem with my horse, otherwise it would be a bad thing." Zhang Yuan said softly.

"Hey, I just told you not to ride your weird thing outside. Now you know it's amazing. I'll put away your weird thing tomorrow." Zhang Chong scolded.

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I also said that I wouldn't let you bring the Qiankun bag, but you still brought the Qiankun bag."

"Hehe, that baby is more convenient to use..." Zhang Chong said with a smile.

At this time, Li Kai shouted loudly again: "Everyone, I have some urgent matters with my fellow brothers. I urgently need horses to rush on the road. There are eight horses in this horse shed. I am willing to buy them at a high price. Please give me some convenience. Who is the owner of these eight horses? Please come out."

After Li Kai finished shouting, a middle-aged man immediately responded loudly: "No! I still have a few trucks of goods here that need to be pulled by horses. I still want to ask for horses for your Tianjian Sect. Do you still want to buy horses? Don't be boring. Since it is a mess caused by your Tianjian Sect, you want to leave if you want to pay a few small amounts of money? It's not that easy! If you don't find a horse to pull a cart for me, don't even think about leaving!"

After the last words of this man shouted, the crowd around him was in a stir, and he even whirled around twenty or thirty people, each with swords and swords, and it looked like they were in a group.

At this time, Li Dong, who had not spoken, stepped forward a few steps, blocked his junior brother Li Kai, bowed to the person who was shouting, and said, "Li Dong, in Xiatian Sword Sect, have you not yet asked me for advice?"

"My name is Wang Zhen! I am not a celebrity. We brothers are all from Tizhou to buy and sell these goods from Anmin City to Qingquan City. If the goods are delayed for one day, they will be compensated for some of the money. If the goods are delayed for a day, we will also have to pay compensation to the merchants. It is not a small amount. Even if you are from the Tianjian Sect, you have to leave! When will things be straightened out, and when will you leave?" The big man named Wang Zhen said loudly.

"Brother Wang, what you said is right. Your losses will be compensated. The horse's money and goods will be paid. However, there are indeed some important things here. You cannot stay here for more. In this way, there are 500 taels of silver notes here, and there are also famous posts below. The silver notes are used as temporary compensation. If you take my famous post, you can go to any branch of the Tianjian Sect to ask for compensation. The reputation of the Tianjian Sect is well-known in the world and will never turn against others! If you have a famous post, you will definitely not lose your money. What do you think?" Li Dong said politely.

"This..." Wang Zhen hesitated.

Before Wang Zhen could finish his speech, Li Dong immediately said: "Everyone, our Tianjian Sect is also a well-known sect in the world. We wouldn't have lost our reputation for a few dollars. Please give me some convenience. Li Dong thanked me here."

Li Dong first was weak in a low position, and then used his power to suppress people in the name of the Tianjian Sect, loosening and tightening, and it was hard for everyone to say anything. After all, the other party was a disciple of the eight major sects. If he made unreasonable trouble, he might draw his sword and kill people. There was only one excuse to kill people. As long as there was an excuse, then the murder was not guilty!

After Li Dong came forward, the scene quickly subsided. Some people took the horse money and left. The person who suffered heavy losses also took another famous post from the Tianjian Sect, and Zhang Chong came forward to get a horse money. The people from the Tianjian Sect proposed to buy the three horses in Zhang Chong's hand, but Zhang Chong refused. In public, the disciples of the Tianjian Sect were not willing to force them to buy. In this way, the storm subsided.

After the people around the horse shed dispersed, it was already four o'clock in the morning. Although it was still dark, there was no need to sleep anymore. So the kitchen of the station set a fire in advance, and the guests gathered in the lobby of the station to order some food. At the same time, they discussed how to get on the road. Without horses, the carriage could not be pulled away and the luggage could not be carried, which made many people stumped for a while.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong were also discussing the issue of rushing on the road while eating. After the two discussed, they finally decided to continue to go to Qingquan City. The only three remaining horses can be used to check their luggage. The others walked all the way. The group was warriors. Although the footsteps were much slower than the horses, they still had endurance. At least they had to go on a long day without rest. As long as they insisted on walking for one or two days and rushed to the next station, they could naturally buy horses from the next station.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong had planned this, but there were many people who had the same plans as them. In this way, when everyone finished breakfast and started rushing to the road, they saw a group of people chasing each other on the official road!

Why are you chasing each other?

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is all for the few horses in the next station!

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong and their group had three horses, which could pull luggage, so they were a little faster than others, but some lone passengers were faster than theirs, and there were also several masters of light skills who surpassed them in a flash...
