517 Someone set up a checkpoint ahead to extort money

"If you want to leave, leave some money for the passage!" A loud roar attracted everyone's attention.

There was actually someone setting up a checkpoint ahead to extort money!

Gu Xiaoxi was so angry that she laughed.

"These people want money more than their lives!" she said jokingly.

"Let's see what it's all about first." Master Mou said and got off the carriage.

Seeing Master Mou go down, Gu Xiaoxi also went down to watch the fun.

Gu Mi wanted to come down, but was called back by Master Yang.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that no one knew what was going on down there. Gu Mi was just a rookie, so it was right not to let him come down.

Before Gu Xiaoxi could get closer, Number One's voice came to his ears: "Boss, there are people hiding in the tree next to them. The system shows that they are all masters."

Gu Xiaoxi understood that these people were not trying to rob money, but wanted to capture certain people.

It seems that this should be a backup plan left by the Queen or Concubine Yun. If the people inside die, there will be someone outside to finish them off.

"Boss, I found a few familiar faces. They are all from the same village as Qimai." Number Three suddenly reported the news.

Concubine Yun is really awesome. I don’t know what conditions she offered, but she actually invited everyone in the village.

"Master Mou, be careful. Some of the people here are from the same village as Master Qimai. They are all good at cryptic arts." Gu Xiaoxi reminded Master Mou in a low voice.

"If that's the case, then it would be better for us to keep a low profile," Master Mou suggested.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that this was the only way. If it weren't for Gu Mi and those subordinates with average cultivation, she would definitely have to give it a try.

After all, these will become Ye Lixuan's enemies in the future, so it is better to clean them up early than late.

"How much silver do you want? We are here to watch the fun. If you ask too much, we won't give it to you." Master Mou walked up to those people with his hands behind his back.

Several minions looked Master Mou up and down. Seeing that he was dressed quite well, one of them said, "Give me two thousand taels of silver and you can go!"

Master Mou felt a pang of pain in his heart after hearing this, but thinking about leaving quickly, he still took out two thousand taels of silver.

The minions didn't expect this man to be so easy to talk to. The one who spoke first wanted to go back on his word, but heard the voice of an old man coming from the side.

"Let them go!"

"yes!"

The minion obediently agreed to let him go.

The carriage was allowed to pass, and Gu Xiaoxi and the others walked out of the checkpoint. They had not gone far when they heard the sound of fighting behind them.

Gu Xiaoxi instructed Gu Mi: "You go first, I want to stay and see what's going on."

"Then you have to be careful." Gu Mi said.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, walked a little further, and got off at the corner.

Jumping off the carriage, she jumped onto a big tree nearby, waited until no one was passing by, put on the invisibility talisman and came down from the tree.

When she returned to the checkpoint, she didn't rush into action.

It’s better to find a big tree, jump onto the tree and find a good position to observe the situation over there.

After looking through the telescope and determining her location, she entered the space.

"These people have it really hard. They have to stop everyone, and if they meet someone with a bad temper, they have to fight." Number Two suddenly sighed.

Gu Xiaoxi said, "This kind of money is life-threatening. Two thousand taels of silver is something that ordinary people may not be able to earn in more than ten years."

"The boss is right. If you want to earn this kind of money, you have to be alive to spend it!" Number One said in agreement.

ah……

Gu Xiaoxi yawned loudly and felt a little sleepy. She arranged for the robots to take turns guarding here and call her if there was any special movement.

She went to wash, change clothes, have a meal, and have a good sleep.

…

Time passed quickly and it was midnight. Fewer and fewer people passed by, but many of them were injured.

At this point, someone finally didn't want to endure it anymore.

"Elder Bai, can we retreat? We can't bear it if we continue like this!" A small follower dragged his tired body to report to the elder.

Elder Bai stroked his long white beard; the wound on his arm still hurt.

It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen Qimai come out. There's no news of the people who went in. I wonder what's going on?

"Wait a little longer, wait for the Seven Veins Elder to come out, then we will leave." said the elder.

"Yes!" The minion could only respond.

At this time, the person who went to the cave to inquire about the news finally came back.

He stepped forward with a worried look on his face and reported, "It's bad. The Seventh Vein Elder was killed by the Third Master's men."

"What did you say? How is it possible? Qi Clans is protected by a big snake." Elder Bai looked at the subordinate who came to report the news in disbelief.

"Really? Not only that, even the Golden and Silver Devils are gone." The man reported.

"How could this happen? The Golden and Silver Devils are also powerful characters. How did Third Master and his people do it?" Elder Bai widened his eyes in disbelief.

The man continued, "I found the person who came out this morning. He saw what was going on and he said..."

After listening to this, Elder Bai made a brief analysis and realized that the Golden and Silver Devils had offended many people in the martial arts world in the past, so it was not surprising that their identities were recognized and they were sought for revenge.

However, the Seven Clans rarely come out of the mountains, and if the situation was not special this time, they would not have followed us at all.

I didn't expect to die here, and even die without a complete body.

Why……

He sighed and said, "Let's all pack up and leave!"

Once everything is settled, there is no need for them to stay.

Seeing them start to pack up, Number One woke up the owner.

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes and looked at the situation over there. Just as Number One said, they were packing up.

She changed her clothes, put on a mask, and planned to beat the drowned people with a stick. How many would she kill?

"Boss, wait a minute." Number One suddenly thought of something?

"You say." Gu Xiaoxi looked at Number One.

Number One analyzed, "Boss, since this matter has been pinned on Third Master, if we take action now, will it arouse unnecessary suspicion?"

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

If someone attacked them at this time, who would they think it was?

By then we will have to investigate, but Wei Kong and the others have already left.

"I almost acted rashly." She sighed and nodded.

So they watched as those people packed up and got on the carriages, and then they all left.

Seeing that the carriage of those people was about to disappear, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly jumped down from the tree and quickly chased after them.

Elder Bai and his companions' carriage sped all the way to the imperial capital. When they arrived at the gate of the imperial capital, the gate had not yet been opened.

However, they did not stop, but passed through the imperial capital and went directly to Concubine Yun's house.

Gu Xiaoxi remembered that Concubine Yun had said before that she would be going on a long trip for a while, and she didn’t know if she would come back.

The formation on the house was opened, she lay on the roof of the carriage and followed the carriage into the house.
