Chapter 58: Master Yi, a tree crossing a river

Snap.

A thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, as if it was going to split the sky in half.

The heavy rain poured down from the high clouds, rapidly falling to the ground, landing on the mud, and blasting up shallow pits of varying sizes.

Yi Chen, wearing a straw raincoat, hurried towards the county town, taking one step forward and one step back, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"What a shitty weather! It has been raining since yesterday and it's still raining this morning. You know I'm going on a long trip and you're really trying to make things difficult for me, right?"

"Meow meow meow" (Yes, yes, rain is really annoying.)

Xiao Miao squatted on Yi Chen's shoulder and responded in a low voice.

Yi Chen raised his head and glared fiercely at the dark clouds.

Damn, the rain was getting heavier. A bolt of lightning even struck more than ten meters away from Yi Chen, hitting the crown of a big tree next to him, giving him a big fright.

He shrank his neck, not daring to continue comparing. The little cat also kept silent and squatted obediently on Yi Chen's shoulder. The man and the cat continued on their way with their heads covered.

They walked like this for about an hour, when suddenly, a convoy appeared in the rain in the distance. There were seven or eight knights and a dozen swordsmen surrounding three carriages.

The leading knight had a high bulge on his temple, strong arms, and a thick layer of calluses on his left hand. He looked like an expert.

But it doesn’t matter. A master like this can be killed with just one punch. At most the body will be more intact than others and will not explode directly.

Yi Chen raised his head and glanced at the convoy traveling in the rain, but there was no one particularly worthy of his attention.

He took a step with his thighs, covering a distance of two or three meters, and rushed forward quickly.

However, some subtle changes occurred that were difficult to explain.

He was not afraid, but some people in the convoy were extremely scared.

Our convoy was traveling well under the rain, but suddenly a man jumped out from the rain behind us. He was two meters tall, with muscular body. His strong pectoral muscles pushed the front of his clothes up high.

He was carrying a big sword on his back, with a cold expression and no words. He walked three meters with each step, very fast and anxiously. A big black cat was squatting on his shoulder, also licking its paws with a cold look in its eyes.

Is this situation scary?

That was pretty scary.

At least Zhang Dekai, who was in charge of guarding at the back, suddenly felt cold sweat running down his forehead.

He had read countless vernacular novels and had rehearsed this scenario countless times in his mind.

On a rainy night, bring a sword, not an umbrella.

A strong man, a straw raincoat, indifferent, and a black cat was killed.

All the elements have been collected.

Ah! Zhang Dekai already had a narration in his mind.

He is the most powerful killer in the underworld, nicknamed Da Yue Yi Dian Hong.

His person is cold.

His sword is colder than he is.

He has no emotions.

After a brainstorm, Zhang Dekai couldn't hold it in any longer and started shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone, be alert! The strong men are coming."

“How terrible.”

In an instant, the entire orderly convoy turned into chaos. Some people drew their swords, some drew their knives, some touched the lime in their bags, some secretly scattered a few traps on the ground, some frowned, took an elegant step back, and protected their teammates in front of them... Hearing the movement in the back, the bearded knight Zhang Bukai who was in the lead suddenly turned around.

"Who dares to touch the target of my Weiyuan Escort Agency? You put the target on me and sell your head. Do you think Zhang Bukai, the Five Tigers Breaking Sword, is a dead man?"

The leading knight turned around and yelled, then he felt a cold gaze from the man in the rain, and his eyebrows began to twitch wildly.

This was a warning from his terrifying intuition formed over the years of experiencing life and death.

Danger! Danger! Danger!

This man is invincible.

In an instant, his hot temper became mild.

He gritted his teeth and rode forward: "My dear, I am Zhang Bukai, the second escort leader of Weiyuan Escort Agency in Duanyang County. The chief escort leader of Weiyuan Escort Agency is Wen Tai, the Thunder Hand. He also has some reputation among the nearby bandits."

"Please be lenient for the sake of the chief escort leader. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

After saying that, he threw a heavy bag of silver in front of Yi Chen.

At this time, Zhang Bukai finally saw the face of the man. He was two meters tall, with bulging muscles, a face as cold as ice, and eyes as bright as lightning. Raindrops dripped down his straw raincoat to the ground. A strange-looking black cat squatting on his shoulder made his aura even colder.

He thought that he was a strong man with a height of over 1.8 meters, broad shoulders and a strong waist. However, compared with the person in front of him, he was as stunted as a bean sprout.

Don’t fight if you can avoid it.

In an instant, Zhang Bukai made a decision in his heart.

Let’s see if I can pass smoothly by paying part of the bribe. At worst, I’ll just consider this work in vain.

Yi Chen: “…”

What happened? Why did the group of people in front suddenly become chaotic, shouting "The strong man is coming, where is the strong man?"

Yi Chen was also a little stunned for a moment.

A faint sense of malice spread from the crowd in front of him.

"So this is malicious intent? They used a knife on me, but it didn't seem very strong. They seemed to be afraid."

"Is this malicious intent also related to the strength of the person emitting the malicious intent?"

For a moment, Yi Chen was a little distracted.

The little cat squatting on his shoulder was still licking its paw indifferently, this time it was its right paw.

Seeing that Yi Chen didn't reply, Zhang Bukai's forehead was covered with even more cold sweat.

Damn, this is too little.

He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and reluctantly took out a bag of silver ingots from a hidden corner of his body and threw it in front of Yi Chen.

"My goodness, there is really no more, not even a single ingot left."

"I took out all my private savings."

This time Yi Chen understood.

I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and found that I was the strong man.

He was about to explain when a young swordsman in the escort team, holding a waist knife in his left hand and a bag of lime in his right hand, seemed to recognize Yi Chen and shouted loudly:

"Fuck, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding."

"Second escort leader, this hero is Taoist Master Yi from the Hidden Dragon Temple in Fengyun County. He is not a strong man."

"I am from Fengyun County. Previously, the wealthy Wang family in our county was beset by evil spirits, and it was Taoist Yi who solved the problem."

"This is a Taoist master. I have met him before."

…..Five minutes later, Yi Chen was already sitting in the last carriage at the end of the convoy. It was really hard to refuse the invitation, and the rain was making people feel annoyed. After thinking about it, Yi Chen did not refuse and agreed.

At this point, he finally figured out what had happened.

The convoy was a mission undertaken by the Weiyuan Escort Agency to transport people.

Escort Madam Li, who was visiting her relatives in Duanyang County, back to the county town.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It turned out that Zhang Dekai, the nephew of the leader, was escorting a caravan for the first time and had no experience. After some imagination, he led things in a strange direction.

Young people are still not stable enough.

As the instigator of this blunder, his preconceived ideas almost brought ruin to the entire escort team, so his angry colleagues gave him a loving lecture outside and told him not to keep watch anymore and to feed the horses instead.

…..After about an hour, the convoy suddenly stopped. The rain was not as heavy as before, and became as thick as cow hair.

A voice came.

"Second Escort, it's bad. The Qingshui River is flooded. The bridge is submerged. We can't get across."

Yi Chen got off the carriage upon hearing the sound. At this time, the bearded knight in the lead was looking at the flooded Qingshui Bridge with a worried look on his face.

The Qingshui River is nearly 100 meters wide. Without a bridge, how can we cross it by human power? "The bridge is flooded. We can't get across."

"Master, why don't you come with us to an inn at the back to rest for a while, and then we can go there together after the water recedes?"

A day and night of heavy rain coupled with mountain torrents caused the water level of the Qingshui River to surge and flood the bridge.

However, the escort team can wait, but how can Yi Chen wait?

He had promised Captain Lin that he would arrive today, so he couldn't break the promise.

Turning his head and looking around, a smile appeared on Yi Chen's face.

"Yes."

"Captain Zhang, I have to thank you for your kindness in freeing up a carriage to give me a ride."

"But you, Escort Captain, are not in good shape. You still need to exercise more. You look weak."

Yi Chen patted Zhang Biaotou's shoulder lightly as if to encourage him, and Zhang Biaotou almost stumbled and failed to catch the attack.

Then, Zhang Biaotou's pupils shrank instantly, as if he had seen a ghost.

No, the pupils of everyone in the convoy shrank instantly.

Collective hell.

Their mouths opened as big as goose eggs as they stared in shock at the scene before them.

Yi Chen's figure flashed and he rushed directly to a big tree as thick as a bowl on the roadside. He chopped the tree into two parts with a single move of his hand, so easily that people thought he was cutting sugarcane.

He picked the most pleasing section, stood by the river, exerted force with his feet, gathered 50% of his strength and kicked hard. With the powerful kinetic energy, the giant tree rushed along the river surface, stirring up water splashes several feet high.

The giant tree was moving very quickly, but Yi Chen was even faster. He pushed the ground hard with his right foot, and the powerful reaction force allowed Yi Chen to arrive first and land steadily on the giant tree.

One tree can cause a thousand ripples.

Today, Master Yi crossed the river on a piece of wood.

"Everyone, I am leaving now. We will meet again if we are lucky enough!"

A thunderous sound suddenly exploded on the spot, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.

This scene left everyone in the escort agency dumbfounded.

"What the hell, what kind of method is this? Are all the masters in Fengyun County like this?"

"Master Yi's divine power is truly terrifying. Today I am truly enlightened."

"Look, Master Yi has already crossed the river, but his momentum has not slowed down. After the giant tree reached the shore, he is still sliding. He is still sliding~"

…..Everyone in the escort agency on the shore began to talk.

The little cat held on to Yi Chen's collar tightly with its claws, fearing that it would fall. The strong river wind made it unable to open its eyes.

It suddenly felt very exciting.

I couldn't help but start meowing again.

However, what no one noticed was that on the front carriage on the river bank, a corner of the curtain had already been gently lifted by a beautiful woman in palace dress. Her hands were like peeling onion roots, her mouth was like holding a red cinnabar, and her pair of delicate hands were tightly covering her red lips, for fear that she would scream out.

"Oh my goodness."

"How can there be such a strong person in the world?"

Mrs. Li, who witnessed the whole process of Yi Chen crossing the river alone, looked at his receding back with a dazed look in her eyes.

Only when he could no longer see Yi Chen's back did he gently lower the curtain.

She also changed her long legs and sat cross-legged.

Changed posture.

Changed to another position.

…

Mrs. Li comes from a wealthy family and has been a widow for many years.
