Chapter 328: Four Hundred Miles in a Hurry (Two in One)
When he arrived at Wohu Mountain, Shen Qingzhou was a little dazed. In fact, his real hometown was in this province. He was actually quite curious. He heard that the urban areas in each country were very similar, and he really wanted to travel around.

“Chief escort, this is Crouching Tiger Mountain. We can take the official road. Although it will take two more days, it is much safer. The Zhou family and Huiyan Tower’s convoys all passed safely before.” The escorts this time may not have high martial arts skills, but they are experienced.

“It’s okay, just go.” Shen Qingzhou still wanted to meet the bandits.

He knew from his own martial arts jade book that the rewards for a dart that encountered no danger and a dart that encountered danger were definitely different.

He is a man of great skill and courage. He heard that Yan Baihu is good at the Thirteen Guardians’ Horizontal Training. He really wants to know how he is different from him.

Moreover, he seemed to be particularly familiar with this name, not the one from the Three Kingdoms, but something from some film or TV series, but it should not be well-known.

Don’t forget, he still needs to accumulate skill points. This time when he returns, he will definitely be able to push “Shen’s Body Tempering Skills” to a higher level. He has already accumulated a lot, but he can’t use them, so he can only use his main body.

Naturally, others listened to him. His reputation was the strongest in Hengyang. And what everyone found puzzling was that he took down the flag that carried Shen.

“Second in command, there is a group of escorts coming ahead, about thirty people.” On the small road, there were dozens of men who seemed to be searching for something. Suddenly, a spy came and reported to a big man wearing half armor and holding two hammers.

“Well, they are so bold. It would be fine if they took the official route, but this is wealth delivered to your door. Isn’t that a smart idea? What kind of escort agency?” The second in command was still more cautious.

“Tianxia Escort Agency.” This was the first time that Tianxia Escort Agency had taken this route, so naturally they were not very familiar with it.

“Sounds familiar, let’s go check it out.”

The second in command carefully observed and watched the performance of his brothers. During this period, the eldest brother suddenly asked him to take the brothers down the mountain to collect some free money and check if there were any suspicious people.

Not far away, Shen Qingzhou had already stood up. Everyone was on guard. Shen Qingzhou’s ears moved, and he knew in his heart that someone had come. He did not expect that the other party was still there. The bandits went down the mountain because they were afraid of an ambush by the government, so the time was uncertain. This time, it seemed to take particularly long.

“This mountain is mine…” A familiar opening line.

“Don’t talk so much nonsense. It’s your bad luck that you met me, your grandpa. You can leave your stuff behind and go.” He was very happy to see the convoy. It didn’t seem like there were any rare treasures, but it looked like the convoy was quite large.

After all, we know that it is Shen Qingzhou who is personally guarding the escort. He is a famous master, and the value of the escort must be very high.

The second in command was very happy. If there were hundreds of people and a few masters, he would probably just have a fight. However, there was no escort master in this escort team who was qualified to join. It would be best if he could stay. Who would have thought that some people were fishing.

The members of the escort team also drew their weapons and were panicking. The bandits in Wohu Mountain were different. They had been attacked by the imperial court several times, but the stronghold was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they had never been taken down. Compared with other strongholds, this one was really likely to suffer losses.

“It seems that there is no turning back.” Shen Qingzhou said.

“Boy, you are the one in charge, right? The smart ones will leave.” Shen Qingzhou’s youth was also the reason why the second in command spoke so arrogantly.

“In that case, let’s do it. It seems that you, Crouching Tiger Village, are determined to intercept the escorts of my Tianxia Escort Agency. It seems that I have to find your boss.”

“What a joke. You’re still looking for our boss.” The second in command wanted to laugh, and then he couldn’t laugh anymore.

“It seems that you are also a master. I am Shen Yujing from Tianxia Escort Agency. Take my move.” Shen Qingzhou raised his palm, and the fallen leaves on the ground suddenly swirled, then swept up. He pushed out with both palms, and in the horrified eyes of the second in command, the leaves combined with the true energy rushed towards him. That was, that was a dragon. Oh no, it was too late to dodge.

He could barely lift the two hammers. He also had some skills in horizontal training. Although he was not even one-tenth as skilled as his elder brother, he had killed many so-called masters under his command.

Then, the energy reached him, and the double hammers he was using to block came into contact with the dragon head. He felt the enormous force, and then vomited blood and fell to the ground.

“Second in Command.” Before the other bandits could react, Second in Command fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.

“You, who are you?” The second in command was very excited. He was not even a match for the other party. How could such a person be a bodyguard?

Even the boss would not be able to use that kind of true energy. The other party is definitely not an unknown person.

“Shen Yujing.” Shen Qingzhou waved his palms, and nearly thirty bandits fell to the ground. Those who wanted to escape failed.

Shen Qingzhou was delighted. He could finally be more relaxed and no longer had to fight in close combat like before. Now that he had perfected the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and his internal energy was strong, he didn’t have to be too frugal and could just attack from a distance.

He didn’t use his full strength. If he had, the second in command would not have been able to withstand his attack. Su Can was able to kill Zhao Wuji with one palm strike, even if he had received seventeen palm strikes before. But how could the second in command compare with Zhao Wuji, as the latter had innate internal energy.

“Our boss killed Shangguan Yundun. Do you think you are more powerful than Shangguan Yundun?” Naturally, there were bodyguards to support him.

“It’s you, Tianxia Escort Agency. I was wondering why it sounds so familiar. We admit defeat this time. From now on, if Tianxia Escort Agency passes by Wohushan, we, Wohushan, will naturally give it a wide berth.” said the second in command.

He has already remembered that he was really careless this time, mainly because the other party had never done this before. Now, he regrets it very much, because the other party is a real master.

“Can you make a decision? I want to see the big boss.” Shen Qingzhou said. This was a bodyguard mission. The second in command was already half disabled. He took a palm strike from him. Even though he didn’t use his full strength, most of his meridians were broken and his power dropped greatly.

It is better to leave him to call for help. The remaining bandits are basically seriously injured and just need to be taken care of. They can’t lift the sword anymore. They really wanted to kill the escort team just now, and he will not be so kind.

If you want to escort someone, you have to be ruthless. If you don’t prove yourself, what will happen if you hide from them and they kill you when you are not around?

Shen Qingzhou’s purpose this time was to clear the way. Once he opened up this road, unless it was the bandits passing by, as long as there were bandits from the mountain strongholds, they would be shocked by him, and then when they saw the Tianxia Escort Agency in the future, they would know what to do. This was his purpose, to consider whether they could accept his revenge.

……

At the Wohu Stronghold, following the signal from the second in command, Yan Baihu led his men down the mountain. When they arrived at the place, they saw the bandits lying on the ground and coughed lightly.

On Shen Qingzhou’s side, the escort team has continued to move forward. After passing Crouching Tiger Mountain, it is Shaohukou. The bandits will not enter there. The most dangerous part of this section is Crouching Tiger Mountain.

“May I know your name?” Yan Baihu said with a serious look.

“No problem, Shen Yujing.” “Brother, he is the one who killed Shangguan Yundun.” The weak voice of the second in command came.

“Ahem, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Yan Baihu was shocked. He was injured from practicing martial arts.

“This time you robbed my Tianxia Escort Agency at Wohu Mountain. The second in command said that he would stay away from my Tianxia Escort Agency in the future. But I still want the first in command’s promise.” Shen Qingzhou’s words were a bit deliberately provocative.

“Captain Shen, if you are the one escorting the convoy yourself, I, Wohu Mountain, will retreat three feet away.” Yan Baihu said.

“It seems that I still have to fight with the boss.” Shen Qingzhou naturally understood what he meant. He also understood that Yan Baihu also had to save face.

Yan Baihu was not really afraid. The people he brought were not the useless ones brought by the second in command. They were all elites in the mountain. There were also archers in the distance. His Wohu Mountain was not a simple mountain stronghold, otherwise, how could he dare to go against the government.

“Look at my palm.” Shen Qingzhou used the Iron Palm Technique. Yan Baihu put down the long sword in his hand. He wanted to test this man’s quality. His martial arts skills were not comparable to those of the second in command.

Then, the two men exchanged fists and palms, neither dodging nor evading. Both of them were practicing horizontal techniques, and Yan Baihu was even wearing armor. However, as soon as they fought, Yan Baihu retreated three steps fiercely.

“Haha, it’s so satisfying.” While stepping back, Yan Baihu picked up the long sword. Shen Qingzhou didn’t try to test the sharpness. Suddenly, the true energy burst out, and a light golden dragon-shaped true energy blasted towards Yan Baihu.

His internal energy was generated from the perfection of the Thirteen Guardians’ Golden Bell Cover and integrated with the Vajra Skill. His internal energy was light gold, and the color was just not very obvious.

Yan Baihu slashed down with his sword, and then his face turned grim. He felt a huge force coming from him, which was penetrating. A strong and destructive force drilled into his body. He finally managed to withstand one attack, and then saw another one appear. He felt depressed and thought he was doomed. He could not escape.

One palm, two palms, thanks to his horizontal training technique, he withstood eight palms. Looking at the next few dragons, he felt desperate. Wasn’t the opponent’s internal force exhausted? He couldn’t fight back at all.

After sending out thirteen consecutive palm strikes, Shen Qingzhou suddenly withdrew his palms and stood up. Yan Baihu’s face was pale and his armor had been broken. It could be seen that his horizontal training technique was very powerful. He did not fall to the ground, but he was at the end of his strength.

“From now on, whenever the Tianxia Escort Agency passes by here, my Wohu Village will retreat three feet away.” Yan Baihu felt aggrieved, but he had to say this. If he didn’t admit defeat and the other party continued to attack him, he would really die.

Shen Qingzhou looked into the distance, then nodded at Yan Baihu, mounted his horse and left. Yan Baihu’s face turned pale, and he asked someone to carry the second in command and the others back to the village.

He could feel that he was not surrounded and killed by anyone. The opponent was clearly not using his full strength. The opponent was a real master. He and his brothers just had more people. If it were a plain, they could charge up. But here there were mountains everywhere. If the opponent just ran away and targeted him to kill, he would be doomed.

He forced himself to return to the mountain stronghold, waved away his men, quickly pressed the major acupoints all over his body, and then couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He had suffered internal injuries, but he had no intention of revenge. The other party had it too easy.

He did not dare to show any clues in front of his brothers. He could fail, but if everyone knew he was seriously injured, even if he was confident, he would not want to fall into a situation of infighting, as this was a den of bandits.

Word started to spread in the mountain village that the chief escort of the Tianxia Escort Agency was extremely skilled in martial arts, so they had to stay away from him from now on. Everyone was not stupid and would not deliberately try to find a tough target for him.

This was also Shen Qingzhou’s purpose. He could actually kill Yan Baihu, but he didn’t. He really wanted to teach the other party a lesson. He knew how powerful he was. In the future, when the Tianxia Escort Agency passed by Wohu Mountain, they would at least know his reputation. Moreover, he felt that killing Yan Baihu would also be very troublesome for him. He had already seen that there were crossbows aimed at him.

He was quite curious. How could a mountain king possess such a powerful military weapon? He couldn’t be the subordinate of some dark force. There were too many villains in this world and it was impossible to count them all.

There is no need to kill by force. If you kill the opponent now and elect a leader, you will have to fight again. It’s too annoying.

Military force is the foundation of an escort agency. If you just kill people wherever you go, the agency won’t be able to grow big. You cannot guarantee that you are the only one guarding the agency.

However, Yan Baihu’s hard skills are really good, and he is also wearing armor. If they really fight, he can almost fight with Jin Buer.

He planned to explore Wohu Mountain when he had time. He was very interested in the other party’s martial arts. The other party’s Thirteen Guardians’ Horizontal Training was very different from that of Madam Qian.

He soon caught up with the people from the escort agency. Everyone was very happy to see him return safely. They walked a few dozen miles and stayed for one night in an inn called He’s Old Inn, which was the only inn within a radius of thirty miles.

We set off early the next morning and arrived at our destination today, Longcheng, a city that looks much larger than Hengyang.

Shen Qingzhou looked at the tall city wall. Even after it was rebuilt in the real world, it was not as spectacular as this. This is indeed a world of martial arts, and one cannot view it in the context of history.

When they arrived at the inn, it was quite lively. However, since everyone in their group was armed, no one bothered them.

The drivers haven’t come yet, but the merchants here are already waiting. They just entered the city and took the caravan to distribute the goods. Everything is within the Dragon City, so there is no danger. The escorts from the Tianxia Escort Agency can also be completed by just entering the city.

“The Emei Sect is indeed a famous sect. The three heroes and four beauties have made such a great reputation. It is well-deserved. Su Shaoying (from “The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng”) competed with the Taihang Twin Swords Ding brothers. He was one against two, and the Ding brothers were defeated.

The most surprising thing is that on the way here, he met the green forest bandit leader Kuai Dao Hua Ping (from Xiao Shiyilang), and they fought for hundreds of moves but there was no clear winner, worthy of being a child of a famous family.

The Peng family of the Five Tigers and the Li family of Taiyuan (from “The Sword of Immortality”) have all sent invitations to Mr. Su who is visiting the Jewel Pavilion.” There is a lot of information in the inn, and now I have found the information.

The Three Heroes and Four Beauties are the disciples of Dugu Yihe, the master of Xuanzhen Temple in Emei. They are quite famous among the younger generation of Emei. Shen Qingzhou knows that Dugu Yihe has another identity, but it has nothing to do with himself.

The world is too chaotic, and his goal is to expand the escort agency. He doesn’t care much about these things that can’t affect him for the time being.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see him. Mr. Su has gone to visit Hengshan Sword Sect.” Hengshan Sword Sect is a big sect around Longcheng. Of course, the surrounding area is about 200 to 300 kilometers.

Apart from this news, the rest were meaningless. However, Yan Baihu’s Crouching Tiger Mountain was also mentioned, and it seemed that the court had already reported it, so it had little impact on everyone.

“Boss.” A female voice came, attracting most of the attention in the inn. However, when they saw the other party’s appearance, many people turned their heads away. It seemed that he was a bit prestigious.

“Miss Gu, everything is ready, come this way.” Looking at this somewhat familiar face, after they left, he learned that her name was Gu Ping’an, the deputy chief escort of Ping’an Escort Agency. Then thinking of Yan Baihu, Shen Qingzhou knew that this must be a character in the plot, and it was also a plot.

He just glanced at it. When he was a child, his favorite thing was to watch CCTV movie channel.
