From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 193 Are you Meng Feiyuan?
Meng Yuan did good deeds throughout his life and never offended anyone.

If there really is an enemy of life and death, it is his mother who once killed Jie Kaiping, which can barely be considered as the hatred of killing his mother.

But given Jie Kaiping's calm yet crazy personality, he probably wouldn't take the death of Xiyao Nu to heart.

Moreover, when they met in the cave of Hulu Mountain, Jie Kaiping did not show any hostility. Instead, he chatted with her for a long time as if they were old acquaintances.

From the looks of it, Jie Kaiping is unlikely to get involved, and it might still be the aftermath of Yang Yuping's incident.

Since Yang Yuping was one of the four generals of Prince Xin and was killed by Meng Yuan, it is natural for the other three to want revenge out of old friendship.

Moreover, among the four generals, the leader Xie Yishen is at the sixth level of martial arts and once successfully ambushed Li Wujiu, which shows that his methods are extraordinary.

Meng Yuan thought about it carefully and concluded that it was Yang Yuping's accomplice who came.

It was late at night and the inn was very quiet. Everyone in the group stayed in their rooms, and there were no more than three people keeping watch outside.

"Wu Changsheng?" Meng Yuan shouted outside.

Wu Changsheng came in hurriedly, looking a little nervous.

The letter was found in his room. Although Wu Changsheng did not read it, he saw Nie Yannian took the letter and went to find Meng Yuan, which showed that something went wrong.

I thought this trip was a chance to see the world and gain some experience, but I didn't expect it to be dangerous.

As for where the danger came from, there was no need to say more. Most of the people on this trip had clean backgrounds, and only Nie Yannian and Meng Yuan were out and about.

Therefore, if there really is something going on, it must be directed at these two people.

Of course, now that he was summoned by Meng Yuan, Wu Changsheng, who had always been smart, had already guessed that it was this Senior Brother Meng who had caused the trouble.

Wu Changsheng figured out the key point in his mind and immediately made up his mind that he must not escape this time. The only way out was to stay together with Nie Meng.

And isn't this an opportunity? Wu Changsheng saw clearly that this Senior Brother Meng had already made Master Nie and his wife drunk, and was also valued by the princess. He was already the second most important person in the Songhe Prefecture Guard, so his future was self-evident.

Wu Changsheng knew the principle of "birds follow phoenixes", so he was naturally willing to help at this time. Besides, after more than half a year of getting along, Wu Changsheng also saw that this Senior Brother Meng was not a heartless person, but a person who valued old friendships very much.

At this moment, Wu Changsheng immediately said: "Brother Meng, please give me your orders! No matter what you do, I am willing to do it!"

Seeing this man's words were sonorous and sincere, Meng Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Gather everyone and go to the lobby of the inn. No one is allowed to leave the inn."

"Yes!" Wu Changsheng received the order and went out immediately.

The lights in the room were dim, and only Meng Yuan, Jiang Tang, and Nie Yannian were left.

These three are the most important three people on this trip north, Jiang Tang is the main one, and Meng Nie and the other two are the assistants.

But since they have the leisure time, Nie Yannian and Meng Yuan should naturally take on the responsibility.

"The other party left a letter openly, which is intended to demonstrate, and I'm afraid they also want to make us lose our composure." Meng Yuan said.

"What do you think we should do?" Nie Yannian asked.

"I don't know how many people are coming, and I don't know when they will attack." Meng Yuan pondered for a while and said, "If Yang Yuping's accomplices come, then only the two of us can fight."

Nie Yannian nodded.

"There are still three of the four great generals left. Xie Yisheng and He Jiulang are of the sixth rank in martial arts, and only Xiong Wuwei is of the seventh rank." Meng Yuan held the sword in his arms and said, "If only one of these three came, I would not be afraid. If only one of the sixteenth or seventeenth rank came, I would still be able to fight. But if all three came together, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with them."

"It's not that they are difficult to deal with, it's that they are impossible to deal with." Nie Yannian nodded at Meng Yuan and said, "If it is really because of Yang Yuping's matter, then Xie Yisheng, He Jiulang and Xiong Wuwei must have all come!"

Nie Yannian looked at Meng Yuan and asked, "How do you think they will take revenge?"

"I killed their companions, so they must retaliate in the same way I killed them." Meng Yuan glanced at Jiang Tang beside him and said, "Looking at the way they delivered the letter, it's clear that they want to kill us. They might kill our people slowly, and then me in the end."

"They won't use such brutal means." Nie Yannian was very confident and said, "The Ying family is different after all. They may just want to kill you. The others can be killed or not. Jiang girl is the messenger and the apprentice of the Third Miss. Unless Xie Yisheng and the other two want to be chased to the ends of the earth in the future, they will not touch Jiang girl."

"Uncle Nie, my brother and I are of one mind." Jiang Tang finally spoke up and said, "You have seen the world, what should we do?"

Nie Yannian pondered for a while and said, "Qingtian County is not far from Songhe Prefecture. It is a good idea to return now."

At this point, Nie Yannian changed the subject and said, "But they have already revealed their whereabouts, I'm afraid they won't let us turn back."

"That's the truth." Meng Yuan nodded slightly.

"So," Nie Yannian smiled, "we can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

After hearing this, Meng Yuan nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

This trip to the capital was for the Third Young Lady, while Xie Yisheng and the others were for themselves, and the others were innocently involved. Meng Yuan thought to himself that among this group of people, the strongest fighters were naturally himself and Master Nie, but the two seventh-rank warriors were obviously no match for each other.

Previously in the cave of Hulu Mountain, three of our side's seventh-grade martial artists and a seventh-grade young Taoist priest fought against a sixth-grade warrior and a sixth-grade monk, and both sides were injured, not to mention that the other side had two sixth-grade warriors.

Although Meng Yuan has made progress now and his two dantians are running parallel, the opponent, Xie Yishen, must be much stronger than Yang Yuping and is definitely not an ordinary sixth-grade warrior.

Considering his own abilities, he has now opened nineteen of the Thirty-three Heavens, and the methods he practices are the Spring Thunder, the Floating Light Cave Heaven, the Misty Rainbow and the Burning Heart, as well as Nirvana and Return to Heaven.

Of course, all things only need to flow in all directions. Meng Yuan had already kept it in mind, but he had never activated it.

A head-on fight is naturally impossible, but if you want to use a trick, it will be difficult to maneuver. After all, there are many people on this group, and it is easier for the opponent to control them.

For now, we can only take one step at a time.

The best way is for Meng Yuan to leave the team, then Xie Yishen and others will no longer keep an eye on the team escorting the birthday gift.

"Master Nie, Senior Brother Meng, everyone has arrived and is in the lobby of the inn." Wu Changsheng knocked on the door outside.

Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian looked at each other and left the room.

The lobby was brightly lit with torches.

Everyone had been sleeping soundly, but no one complained when they were woken up.

But there were no fools. At this moment, everyone had their knives in hand, had taken out their bows and arrows, and were staring at the doors and windows, fearing that anything might go wrong.

It was pitch black outside and no one in the lobby made a sound. It seemed as if everyone knew that a storm was coming.

The name of this inn is Yuelai Inn. In front is the inn lobby, with more than a dozen tables for dining.

At the back are the stables and woodshed, and upstairs is the accommodation.

There were fifteen people in the group, sitting at three tables.

Meng Yuan, Nie Yannian and Jiang Tang sat at a table closest to the door.

It was already a bit chilly in the early September night. There were no candles in the lobby, only a few flickering torches.

There was a dull feeling both inside and outside, and no one spoke, but judging from the weather outside, it looked like rain was about to come.

The innkeeper had already gone to bed, but was woken up by the waiter and came out to deal with the situation.

"Sir..." The old shopkeeper was used to seeing people. He knew that the leader was Nie and Meng, so he stepped forward and asked with his hands on his waist.

"Boss, please go and have a rest. I don't need your money." Meng Yuan smiled and took out a silver ingot and handed it over.

Seeing the silver, the old shopkeeper said nothing more, only said: "It looks like it's going to rain, I'll boil some water for you."

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper pulled his clerk away, obviously knowing that this was a matter that they had no right to interfere with.

"Brother, what happened?" Hu Qian came forward and asked calmly, holding the knife.

She didn't know what was wrong with her these past two days. Although she followed Jiang Tang's carriage every day, she would urge her horse to talk to Meng Yuan from time to time and ask about the itinerary.

There was no major change in attire, it was still a tight-fitting outfit, but it seemed that a few layers of the chest wrap had been removed, and it was not wrapped so tightly, which did reveal a bit of grandeur.

Of course, she is still far inferior to Nie Qingqing.

Before Meng Yuan could answer, he heard footsteps outside.

The footsteps were extremely heavy, and they slowly approached from afar, step by step.

Hu Qian and others all stood up, some drew their swords, and some held bows in their hands.

Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian looked at each other, neither of them spoke a word, they just sat quietly, waiting for the guests.

Soon, a figure appeared from the darkness outside the inn.

The man was tall and strong, holding a big sword in his hand, his clothes were slightly worn, and he wore a conical hat on his head.

When I stepped into the lobby of the inn, in the dim light of the torch, I saw him holding up his hat with one hand, revealing a face full of flesh.

This man was about forty years old, with a gloomy look. He glanced at everyone, as if he didn't see the swords and knives appearing. Instead, he had a look of disdain. Finally, his eyes swept over Nie Yannian and Meng Yuan, and finally looked at Meng Yuan.

"Are you Meng Feiyuan?" The voice of the person who came was like someone sharpening a knife on gravel, hoarse and sharp, making people feel uncomfortable.
