Five days have passed since Pei Yun set out from Qingyang County.
In five days, the three of them walked and stopped, and had covered half of the journey. At this moment, the three of them settled in a place called Tai'an County.
I have been sleeping in the wild these days, and now I can finally stay in an inn.
The horses were still taken care of by the inn, and Xu Zong went to warn them that if the horses were lost, he would tear down the inn.
The shopkeeper immediately said that he would assign someone to guard it and it would definitely not be lost, but he would have to pay extra.
Pei Yun was not stingy either. He brought all the silver notes with him when he went to Shudu this time. Together with the two thousand taels that the Qingyang County Inn compensated him, he had a total of 100,000 taels in silver notes alone.
Put it in the locker at the mall and no one can steal it.
Pei Yun took out one thousand taels and exchanged them for silver at the money shop. He converted five hundred taels into the balance and gave the remaining five hundred taels to Xu Zong and Leng Qingqiu, one hundred taels each, so that they could go around the county and buy something they liked.
According to their current speed, they could reach the palace on the 15th. Of course, it would be a bit laborious for Xu Zong as he had never run such a long distance before.
However, in order to let Pei Yun see his endurance, he endured it.
Moreover, being able to drink Red Bull every day made Xu Zong feel pretty good. His kung fu depended on running, and the farther he ran, the more likely he would break through in strength.
Pei Yun also asked the two about the realm divisions in this world, and it seemed that there was no standard.
There is no such division as martial arts masters, martial arts apprentices, martial arts masters, and martial arts saints. There is only first-rate, second-rate, third-rate, and third-rate.
People like Xu Zong, who can only run but not fight, but have cultivated internal strength, can be considered third-rate.
The [Moon Shadow Flowing Frost Sword] that Leng Qingqiu practices has a special martial arts technique and internal strength, so it is considered second-rate.
Pei Yun, who practices the external skill of Iron Sand Palm but has no internal strength, can only be considered as a low-level person.
This made Pei Yun speechless. He felt that he was at least a master, but it turned out that he was not even a top player in the martial arts world.
It seems that it was the right decision to let Leng Qingqiu be his bodyguard. Although Leng Qingqiu is only a second-rate master, as his internal strength increases, he will have the opportunity to become a first-rate master.
Moreover, Leng Qingqiu also told him that she had not sent any message back to Yanyu Tower or gone back for so many days. The hall master would think that her mission had failed and would probably send stronger assassins over, so Pei Yun had to be on guard.
This made Pei Yun feel a sense of crisis. It was a pity that there were no guns available when he bought them online. Otherwise, if he had a pistol in his hand, not to mention a first-class master, even a top-notch master would have to kneel down.
However, Pei Yun also made some other preparations. He took off the clothes that Xue Qianqian bought for him, changed into stab-proof clothing, and wore two more in case of assassination.
At this moment, the three of them were strolling in Tai'an County, and they saw a place surrounded by people. The voice of a storyteller came from inside. Pei Yun heard that it was about the story of Xiao Chen, the King of Bashu.
How about paying out of one's own pocket to stabilize grain prices, beheading the profiteers who hoarded grain and drove up grain prices, sending out surprise troops to defeat the Southern Barbarians, forcing them to retreat back to the southern border, and saving the people of Yizhou from dire straits?
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Prince Xiao is truly a man of character. He has done so many things for the people."
Xu Zong said: "Yes, I heard a long time ago that the King of Bashu is a good prince. It is said that the tax in Yizhou has dropped by 30% compared to other places. It is all thanks to the King of Bashu."
Leng Qingqiu also nodded. Even with her cold personality, she approved of what Xiao Cheng had done.
"Brother, when you go to the palace to attend the celebration banquet this time, Prince Xiao will definitely look at you with new eyes. If you reveal your immortal identity, the prince will definitely treat you like a distinguished guest."
Pei Yun smiled, he was not interested in these things, and the prince was not so easy to fool. Of course, he was still looking forward to meeting Xiao Cheng.
After all, the other party is a prince, the most powerful person in Yizhou. Pei Yun has no idea of helping the people of Yizhou, but that does not prevent him from admiring such a person.
"Okay, we should continue on our journey and try to get to Shudu as soon as possible. I heard that Shudu is extremely prosperous. If we have enough time, we can go sightseeing in Shudu."
Pei Yun spoke.
After coming out, he felt that these ancient landscapes were very attractive. They were all original, without any human damage, and full of ancient charm. Pei Yun felt that he could appreciate the scenery of this era.
After taking horses from the inn, the three of them set off again.
One day later, there was the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from behind. Leng Qingqiu looked back and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"People from Yanyu Tower are here."
Pei Yun dismounted and the three of them stood in a row.
Behind them, a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat came riding a horse. When he saw the three men stop, he jumped off his horse and stood more than ten meters away from them.
Xu Zong said in a serious tone, "Soul Chasing Sword Chen San."
Pei Yun's heart also grew solemn. Just hearing the title, he knew that this person was no ordinary person. Moreover, he was the third-ranked killer, which meant he must be more powerful than Leng Qingqiu.
It seems that the person who wants to kill me has spent a lot of money and even hired the third-ranked killer.
Chen San looked at Leng Qingqiu and said in a cold voice: "It's a pity that the hall master still trusted you. I didn't expect that you would really betray Yanyu Tower. Do you know the consequences of betraying Yanyu Tower?"
Leng Qingqiu said nothing, but just clenched the sword in his hand.
Xu Zong said: "Chen San, I advise you to go back to where you came from and don't get involved in this mess. My eldest brother is not someone you can mess with."
Chen San's eyes fell on Xu Zong, "Who are you?"
Xu Zong said proudly: "The Speedy Guardian Xu Sanba."
"Heh, the person who ranks last has no right to talk to me. It seems that you have also betrayed Yanyu Tower, so you will die too."
Xu Zong's face turned green. This Chen San was too arrogant. He actually said that I didn't even have the qualifications to talk to him. He couldn't help but clench the electric baton.
