A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 186: Black Tiger Hill (Part )

Duan Rong's heart moved, he bent down and picked up the long sword at his feet, holding the hilt, and said to himself: "Read the weapon spirit."

Weapon: Double-edged sword

Spirit Level: Not yet reached
Devouring requirements: None
Devouring effect: None
Duan Rong looked at the data panel on the whiteboard and was stunned, but he soon discovered that the sword in his hand was a brand new sword, not Huang Gaozu's original thin and soft sword.

Duan Rong's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that this person did not want to reveal his identity.

Yuan Shouzhi killed Huang Gaozu and pulled off the black cloth covering his face.

Yuan Shouzhi was quite familiar with the many masters in Xiangu County. In fact, he had already guessed about 70% of their abilities after watching their sword moves just now. However, when he saw Huang Gaozu's thin and sinister face, Yuan Shouzhi was still moved.

At this time, Yuan Shouzhi raised his head and looked at Duan Rong, and Duan Rong also threw away the sword in his hand and met Yuan Shouzhi's gaze.

Duan Rong's face was also covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Yuan Shouzhi looked at Duan Rong with curiosity and astonishment in his eyes.

Although this person is obviously a friend rather than an enemy, his methods are complicated and strange, and his identity is mysterious. Yuan Shouzhi can't help but become alert.

When Duan Rong saw Yuan Shouzhi's appearance, he was shocked. This person was the one who had followed and monitored him for three days more than a month ago.

Duan Rong's mind was full of thoughts, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Yuan Shouzhi was obviously ordered by Ximen Yong to monitor and investigate him. Ximen Yong was investigating him simply because he had too close contact with Ximen Kankan, which aroused Ximen Yong's vigilance and suspicion.

Duan Rong felt depressed.

"Okay! I came all the way here to save you, but you hired someone to investigate me!"

Duan Rong was filled with rage. He turned his head and glanced at Ximen Yong with a roll of his eyes. Then he suddenly flashed and jumped into the wild woods beside the official road.

Ximen Yong didn't expect Duan Ronghui to leave so suddenly. He immediately ran a few steps, stood beside the official road and shouted: "Brave man, can you please leave your name so that my Ximen family can repay you for your kindness one day!"

Ximen Yong's voice floated in the night wind, but the only sound in response was the rustling of the trees.

"Boss, the person has already left." Yuan Shouzhi said, standing behind Ximen Yong.

"Gone?" Ximen Yong stood by the road, looking at the dark night, muttering, unable to let go for a long time.

"I'm afraid this person has some background!" Yuan Shouzhi exclaimed with flashing eyes.

Duan Rong's light body movement and flying knife skills surprised him. Even if he encountered him, he would probably be in trouble. But what made him feel more treacherous was Duan Rong's ability to perceive and see. When Huang Gaozu sprinkled the poison powder, he warned himself first. And when he used the flying knife to help him sweep the formation, the timing was so precise that it really frightened Yuan Shouzhi!

"This person must be from a famous family with a profound family background!" Yuan Shouzhi said thoughtfully.

Ximen Yong heard this, turned his head, and looked at Yuan Shouzhi with a somewhat unfocused look. At this moment, Ximen Yong's mind kept flashing back to Duan Rong's eyes, and he felt that those eyes were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Ximen Yong had average talent in martial arts, but he was very insightful about business. After being in the business world for a long time, he had developed the ability to judge people and his intentions. He could still remember a person clearly even if he saw him again a year later.

Duan Rong's eyes looked familiar to him. It was no coincidence. He must have seen these eyes somewhere before.

It's just that he couldn't remember it at the moment. "Those eyes..."

"Boss, it's time for us to go back!" Yuan Shouzhi saw Ximen Yong standing by the road in a daze, so he reminded him.

Ximen Yong came back to his senses at this point, and looked past Yuan Shouzhi and said in a deep voice: "Get the golden wound medicine and bandage the brothers first." "Boss, your wound also needs to be treated." Yuan Shouzhi said.

Ximen Yong glanced at his shoulder, which was half soaked with blood. He glanced at the injured guards and the fallen bodies, and sighed heavily, "My Ximen family has suffered heavy casualties this time!"

Duan Rong was in the wild woods, performing the Cloud Snake Steps. His figure flashed and he suddenly stopped. He heard the sound of a horse's nose blowing. He had just joined the Yuanshun Escort Agency as a menial disciple and had been working in the stable, dealing with horses every day. He was very familiar with the various sounds of a horse's nose blowing and had no doubt he had heard it wrong.

Duan Rong's mind moved, and he released his spiritual awareness again, immediately locking onto a chestnut horse not far away.

Duan Rong flashed and came to the side of the chestnut horse. The horse was tied under a tree and was eating wild grass with its head down. The summer grass in the wild forest was lush and juicy, and the chestnut horse ate it very sweetly...

Duan Rong reached out and touched the saddle, on the middle of which were printed the words "Xu Ji".

Duan Rong's heart moved. "It's indeed the horses from the carriage company!"

It seemed that this horse was ridden by Huang Gaozu. Duan Rong untied the horse and pulled it to the official road. Duan Rong jumped on the horse. With the horse, he didn't need to perform the Cloud Snake Step in the wild forest.

But just as Duan Rong was about to ride away, he suddenly stopped there, without dropping the whip in his hand. He thought for a moment and decided to bring back Ximen Yong and his entourage, as well as so many injured guards and the bodies of the dead guards.

But of their three carriages, only one horse was still alive.

Duan Rong sighed deeply and said to himself, "I just think you're Kankan's father, otherwise I really wouldn't bother to care about you."

As Duan Rong spoke, he pulled the reins to turn the horse's head, then he whipped the horse hard on the butt. The chestnut horse felt pain, kicked its hooves, and rushed away along the official road.

Ximen Yong and his team had just bandaged the wounds of the wounded when the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out on the quiet official road.

Yuan Shouzhi drew his sword and stood ready for battle. Soon, he saw a rider approaching.

I saw a man and a horse several feet away. Suddenly, they stopped their horses and Duan Rong jumped off the horse.

Upon seeing his figure and posture, Yuan Shouzhi immediately recognized Duan Rong and said, "It's the man from before!"

But Yuan Shouzhi did not sheath his sword. To be honest, he was quite afraid of Duan Rong, and he didn't know what he was thinking by coming back at this time.
Yuan Shouzhi has always believed that there is no kindness without reason in this world. The other party's identity is mysterious, but he suddenly appeared at this post. In his opinion, this matter is inherently evil. And now he has returned, which makes Yuan Shouzhi even more suspicious.

Duan Rong suddenly whipped the horse's butt. The chestnut horse immediately ran forward. Duan Rong flashed and rushed into the wild forest beside the road again.

"He's here to bring us horses." Ximen Yong said, and suddenly jumped up. He ignored his half-bandaged wound and strode to the edge of the wild forest. He bowed and shouted, "Brave man! Please accept Ximen Yong's greetings!"

Duan Rong was leaping in the wild forest. When he heard Ximen Yong's call, he rushed forward without looking back...

Ximen Yong bowed for a long time before he stood up. He turned his head and saw Yuan Shouzhi holding the red horse. Yuan Shouzhi turned his head and looked at the forest where Duan Rong disappeared, his eyes flickering. Most of the guards in their group were killed or injured, and the rest were wounded, but only one horse was still alive and could pull the carriage.

If he took the wounded away, he would have to leave the body behind. If he took the body away, he would have to leave the wounded behind. This was a dilemma. Yuan Shouzhi originally planned to leave one person to guard the body, take the others back first, and then send someone to take the body away. But now that he had this chestnut horse, he didn't have to leave the body in the wilderness overnight. To be honest, the smell of blood would stimulate wild animals, and he was worried about leaving the body here.

It's unacceptable that our brothers died in battle and couldn't even keep their bodies intact.

However, this person sent a red horse at this time. No wonder Ximen Yong was moved! Even he felt sympathetic at this moment, and felt a little ashamed of his original suspicions about that person.

"Could this person have any connection with the Ximen family?" Yuan Shouzhi suddenly thought with a twinkling look in his eyes.
