I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 187 I accept your concubine with joy, thank you
Chang Shumou had never fought him before, but he saw that he was very arrogant, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "Well, you actually want to challenge three of us fellow disciples. You really have courage!"

The situation suddenly became tense.

The restaurant was also quiet, and everyone was waiting for the show to begin.

Chang Shumou and his companions were on high alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Shen Lang was relaxed and at ease, as if he didn't take the duel seriously.

Just as the battle was about to break out, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the upper floors: "Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? Could something have happened?"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

The visitors were like ghosts that came and went. Although there were many martial artists upstairs, most of them did not hear the sound of footsteps that should have been made when they stepped on the stairs.

Ba Fenghan immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Jun Yu is finally here. I have been waiting for you for several days."

The next moment, Fu Junyu's figure appeared. She walked over while scanning the entire venue.

Today she wore a crimson warrior uniform inside and a purple-red cloak outside, which made her skin look whiter than snow and radiant. As soon as she appeared, she stole a lot of the limelight from Hua Lingzi.

However, if Shang Xiuxun is willing to show her true face, even a beauty as outstanding as Fu Junyu will be slightly inferior to her.

Fu Junyu's eyes first fell on the flowered feather, then moved to Chang Shumou, and said in surprise: "It's Chang Shumou of Tiele."

Chang Shumou immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "It turns out that Miss Junyu, the disciple of Master Yijian, has arrived. Chang Shumou is honored to meet you."

Fu Junyu stopped and returned the greeting, "Greetings to Brother Changshumou, 'White-robed Golden Shield'. I'm sorry to be disrespectful."

The two were so polite and courteous that onlookers became curious about whether they had some complicated relationship.

After Fu Junyu finished the ceremony, he walked towards Ba Fenghan who was standing respectfully to greet him. Suddenly, he saw Shen Lang from the corner of his eye and stopped in surprise.

"Greetings, Brother Shen." She bowed again. "Last time in Dongping County, we had a quick meeting and a hasty farewell. Jun Yu has always felt deeply regretful. I am so lucky to meet you today."

"Have you met your senior sister?" Shen Lang asked.

Fu Junyu nodded and said, "Junyu has met Senior Sister and learned that it was Brother Shen who saved my Senior Sister's life. Please accept my greetings, Brother Shen. If Brother Shen has any instructions, I will do it."

As he said this, he bowed deeply.

Shen Lang smiled faintly, his expression inexpressibly elegant and graceful, and said, "Jun Yu, you're too polite. I wonder where your senior sister is now?"

"In response to Brother Shen, it seems that my senior sister is looking for her two sons. I don't know where she is now." Fu Junyu replied.

Chang Shumou listened to her conversation with Shen Lang and was also confused about their relationship.

Fu Junyu's beautiful eyes moved, and after looking around, she said, "It seems that my little sister has come at a bad time."

Shen Lang smiled lightly and responded: "No, you came at the right time."

He casually pointed to Shang Xiuxun and the others standing nearby and continued, "These are all my good friends. We plan to stay overnight in Xiangyang. However, there are some ignorant guys who want to cause trouble for them. I wonder if Miss Junyu would be willing to help protect them?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Ba Fenghan, "And you, it seems that you don't have anything important to do, why don't you help out together."

He planned to visit Bai Qing'er at night tonight. Although Shang Xiuxun was accompanied by Shang Zhen and others, it would be safer if there were more experts to protect him.

Hearing this, Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "If Brother Shen could easily get rid of them, I'm afraid there would be no need for me to help."

At this moment, Chang Shumou, who had been observing the conversation between the few people, had an idea in his mind and thought to himself: This person looks unfathomable, so why not test his strength first.

So, he said, "If you can defeat us, we wouldn't dare to disturb your rest!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly took a pair of golden shields from his side and held them in his hands. He lowered his waist and sat on the horse, and in an instant he gathered all his strength.

At the same time, Gengge Huer, Hua Lingzi and other Tiele masters who were sitting at the same table with him took out their weapons.

At Shang Xiuxun's command, all the people at Pegasus Ranch stood up from their tables and drew their weapons, and a war was about to break out.

When the guests nearby saw that the two sides were about to fight, they were afraid that they would be implicated, so they retreated to a distance and vacated more than ten tables near the window.

For a moment, the restaurant was once again filled with flashes of swords and sabers, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out again.

Ba Fenghan, who was standing next to him, saw this and suddenly asked Shen Lang with great interest, "Brother Shen, facing so many opponents, how many moves will you use?"

"Guess how many moves I will use?" Shen Lang asked him back.

Ba Fenghan shook his head, "Brother Shen is so unfathomable that even I find it hard to guess."

"Three moves." Fu Junyu suddenly said, "I think Brother Shen can take them down within three moves."

Hearing this, Chang Shumou's eyes suddenly flashed with a ferocious cold light. His face was as cold as frost and his tone was icy as he said, "Well, in that case, let's see if he has the ability to defeat us within three moves."

Before he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and the golden shield in his hand, which was shining with dazzling light, flew out rapidly to the left and right like an arrow.

The powerful energy generated by the golden shield as it spun rapidly in the air emitted a series of terrifying whistling sounds, as if a ferocious beast was opening its bloody mouth and pouncing on the enemy.

At the same time, he held another golden shield tightly in his left hand, and followed closely behind like a ghost.

Seeing this, Gengge Huer, Hua Lingzi and other Tiele masters did not show any weakness. They roared in unison and rushed forward fiercely.

In an instant, the whole scene became chaotic, tables and chairs flew to the ground, and people dodged and avoided everywhere, like chickens and dogs jumping around.

Faced with Chang Shumou's sudden and fierce attack, Shang Peng and others' faces changed suddenly. They did not dare to be negligent at all. They jumped up and quickly drew their weapons from their waists to be ready for battle.

Shen Lang raised his hand to stop everyone on the ranch from taking action.

Seeing several of the other side rushing towards him aggressively, he was not afraid. He gathered his Qi in his Dantian and shouted, "Get out!"

The sound immediately shook the roof tiles and dust fell from the beams.

Everyone felt thunder in their ears and their heartbeats quickened.

Those with low skills were even more shaky and unsteady, as if they were drunk.

As the angry roar rang out, a terrifying and earth-shaking energy that seemed to come from the sky came straight towards the flying golden shield with an overwhelming force.

There was a deafening "bang" sound, and the golden shield that flew over first was instantly blown into pieces by the impact of this terrifying force.

What's even more bizarre is that the flying shield fragments disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.

However, things didn't end there.

At that moment, Chang Shumou felt an overwhelming and irresistible force, like a mountain crushing an egg, hitting his chest hard!
The power of this force is so strong and strange that it is beyond imagination!
Chang Shumou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his entire chest cavity was about to be shattered.

He groaned, and a fishy-sweet smell instantly surged in his throat. Before he could react, a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably, forming a shocking blood arrow in the air!
Then the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, completely losing control of his body. He flew backwards rapidly and involuntarily, drawing a long arc in the air.

Gengge Huer, Hua Lingzi and others who were attacked together with Chang Shumou were also in a miserable state.

They also felt that extremely terrifying power. Blood spurted out of their mouths and their bodies were thrown in all directions like fallen leaves caught in a strong wind.

For a moment, the figures of everyone in the field intertwined in mid-air, forming a terrifying picture.

Their bodies drew long arcs in the air, and fell heavily one after another to a place ten feet away from their original position.

bang bang bang...

The whole place was silent, and only the sound of their landing could be clearly heard.

When these people landed completely on the ground, a burst of terrified shouts suddenly broke out from the crowd.

Because everyone was shocked to find that each of them had a piece of shield fragment tightly attached to their bodies!
Those were the shield fragments that everyone thought had disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, they all hit the bodies of Chang Shumou and others at lightning speed.

However, because the speed was so fast, as fast as a meteor, even those with profound skills and superb cultivation in the field had no time to catch the whereabouts of the fragments.

At this moment, the entire scene seemed to be frozen and fell into dead silence.

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, their faces filled with astonishment, staring blankly at the unbelievable scene before them, their hearts filled with fear and shock.

Only then did people understand that the eyes looking at Shen Lang were filled with admiration, respect, fear, and so on.

It turns out that the rumors in the world are true.

This person truly possessed extraordinary skills. No wonder he could easily resolve the thrilling duel between Ba Fenghan and Ouyang Xiyi with his own strength.

No wonder Ba Fenghan was so respectful and polite to him.

No wonder he didn't draw out his long knife or swing his sword, but just shouted loudly, and yet Zhang Shumou and other masters were seriously injured.

This kind of astonishing skill was something that everyone present had never seen or heard of before.

Ba Fenghan's eyes suddenly lit up. Shen Lang's shout just now was definitely a brilliant move that would be remembered for ages.

Using defense instead of attack will not only not arouse people's desire to win, but also have the effect of calming people's arrogance, giving the feeling of defeating the enemy without fighting.

But Shouzhong's tactics are all about aggressive attack, with strong and powerful energy, and they will not be withdrawn until blood is drawn.

He was a master who was determined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and this scene made his blood boil.

Shen Lang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said calmly, "Anyone else wants to take action?"

After hearing these words, the other people in the restaurant finally reacted.

Everyone looked blank, and for a moment they didn't know how to express their feelings.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Now everyone knows that his martial arts skills are far superior to those of Ba Fenghan, Zhang Shumou and others.

And the opponent only used one move!
After his blood boiled, a complicated look flashed in Ba Fenghan's eyes, and finally he looked at Fu Junyu.

Fu Junyu also looked dazed. After a while, she said, "I thought it was too simple. I thought Brother Shen would need three moves to deal with them, but I didn't expect him to severely injure them with just a loud shout. According to the rules of the martial arts world, Brother Shen won. I guess Brother Changshu won't cause any trouble."

Ba Fenghan continued, "That's true. Brother Shen showed mercy just now. If Brother Changshu tries to cause trouble again, we will have to take action."

It was obvious from his words that he wanted to stand with the people of Pegasus Ranch.

Chang Shumou and the others turned pale, unsure how to respond. Shen Lang added, "We're going to rest in the city tonight. If anyone comes to visit, I'll blame it on you, Chang Shumou."

Hua Lingzi, who had just been practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, immediately argued, "Isn't this unreasonable? If you have other enemies, will you blame us too? Do you still have any sense of reason?"

"Of course I understand reason." Shen Lang glanced at her and said, "But I'm not reasonable."

Shang Xiuxun said, "Since the matter has been resolved, let's go first. It really spoils the fun."

As he spoke, he threw two gold bars onto the stage and said coldly, "Today, Pegasus Ranch will treat you all! Any damage will be blamed on Pegasus Ranch!"

He looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Do you want to drink more?"

"Since you all want to leave, what's the point of me drinking alone?" Shen Lang smiled and said, "Let's go."

Shang Xiuxun nodded, stood up and walked out. Shang Peng, Liang Zhi and others followed him, and walked away under the fierce gazes of Chang Shumou and others.

Ba Fenghan glanced at Fu Junyu.

But Fu Junyu didn't even look at him and followed Shen Lang.

Seeing this, Ba Fenghan followed closely behind.

When I came out of the Hometown Building, I saw the streets full of Tiele soldiers and people from Xiangyang City. However, Chang Shumou and others were still injured and no orders to attack had been issued, so these people did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing this scene, Ba Fenghan couldn't help but say, "It seems that Pegasus Ranch has a deep hatred for them."

"I don't know about that." Shen Lang shook his head. "Maybe they were instigated by someone else."

After careful consideration, Shang Xiuxun said to Shen Lang, "I'm worried they won't give up. If not, leave the horses and luggage at the inn and take the boat out of town immediately. That way, you won't have to owe them a favor, and you won't have to distract yourself from taking care of us."

"Do I owe you a favor?" Shen Lang looked at Ba Fenghan.

Ba Fenghan shook his head and said, "It's not like you owe me a favor. I've also been fed up with those guys for a long time."

Fu Junyu said, "Brother Shen saved my sister's elder sister. If Brother Shen needs me in any way, please feel free to use me."

"No, even if they don't owe you a favor, we shouldn't stay overnight in the city." Shang Xiuxun insisted on her own opinion. "Although you injured Chang Shumou and others, there is no guarantee that there are no other masters. If we stay in the inn and they set it on fire at night, we will have no way to escape."

Fu Junyu looked at her approvingly.

Shang Xiuxun continued, "Besides, two fists are no match for four hands. Even if you are a skilled martial artist, you won't be able to protect us all. So, leaving first is the best strategy."

Seeing that she insisted on her idea, Shen Lang said, "Alright, you take them away first, and I'll go find Qian Duguan to deal with the bad luck. He actually colluded with Changshu, and he must bear the consequences."

"In that case, I will leave with the ship. If there is any trouble, I can help deal with it." Fu Junyu said.

Ba Fenghan followed up, "Although I also promised Brother Shen just now, I also have something to ask Qian Duguan for, so I will not leave with the ship."

After making the decision, Shang Xiuxun ordered everyone to abandon the horses and luggage left at the inn, and immediately headed straight to the dock to leave by boat.

Xu Yang had already rented a cargo ship for a large sum of money. He then added three more gold bars and ordered the boatman to set sail immediately.

Shen Lang stood at the dock and watched them go away.

Queen Xiao and Nanyang also left with Shang Xiuxun, as it would be more convenient for them to act tonight.

When the boat left the dock and looked down the river, Luo Fang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had escaped death.

Shang Xiuxun stared at Shen Lang's figure for a long time.

Fu Junyu beside her said: "Brother Shen has great skills, he will be fine."

Shang Xiuxun nodded slowly.

Seeing the boat go away, Ba Fenghan said, "Brother Shen, if you want to cause trouble for Qian Duguan, he is from a wealthy family. In addition to the main house in the city, he has four other villas. He has beautiful women in his golden houses, which are hard to find. Why don't we find a place to drink first and then go find him after sunset."

"Do you know how to find him?" Shen Lang glanced at Ba Fenghan.

It’s best to have someone bring it with you so that you don’t waste time looking for it yourself.

Ba Fenghan said nonchalantly, "Because I accepted five hundred taels of gold from someone and wanted to take his head, but I haven't had the chance to kill him yet!"

Then he changed the subject: "As long as we go to the 'Cangqing Pavilion' where his favorite concubine Bai Qing'er lives, if Qian Duguan comes to visit the beautiful lady Bai, it will be a bad time for him."

"In that case, let's go drink first. I haven't eaten enough yet." Shen Lang said.

Ba Fenghan laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I'll treat you. After we have enough to eat and drink, we'll go find Qian Duguan's bad luck."

The two of them found a place to drink and waited until late at night before taking action.

Under the guidance of Ba Fenghan, Shen Lang followed him to a courtyard.

After climbing over the high wall, there were houses connected together inside and the sound of dogs barking could be heard faintly.

At this quiet hour of the night, only lights were coming from a tall building in the middle and the main hall.

Ba Fenghan whispered, "This house is divided into two parts, the inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard is patrolled by guard dogs, but because Bai Qing'er is afraid of dogs, the servants don't let the dogs enter the inner courtyard. If we go into the inner courtyard, no one will notice."

"Let's go." Shen Lang said.

The two of them leaped up, ran past several houses, crossed the inner wall, and came to the large garden in the inner courtyard. There they saw pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water. Under the moonlight, the scenery was quiet and peaceful, and the scenery was moving.

He listened carefully with bated breath, and after making sure that there was no one in the wing room on the left, he crossed the garden and entered through the window.

It turned out to be a large study, and the drawing table was filled with the four treasures of the study and rice paper for writing and painting.

The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, giving it an air of study.

Ba Fenghan smiled and said, "Ms. Bai from Qian Duguan is very good at calligraphy and painting. This is her study."

"Can Qian Duguan paint or write?" Shen Lang suddenly asked.

Ba Fenghan said, "Qian Duguan is just a warrior and doesn't understand these things. Why do you ask this, Brother Shen?"

Shen Lang said, "I was thinking of asking him to draw the intimate moments between Bai Qing'er and me. I didn't expect him to not understand. It's really a pity."

Hearing this, Ba Fenghan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Shen, please wait here. I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon."

After he went through the window, Shen Lang looked around the study and found that Bai Qing'er's painting skills were indeed very good. Maybe he could ask her to paint a few paintings like Tang Bohu.

After a while, Ba Fenghan came back and said, "I think Qian Duguan will be here tonight because Lady Bai's two personal maids are making bird's nest soup. The amount is enough for more than ten people."

"It seems we are also lucky enough to have a good meal." Shen Lang said with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard faint voices coming from the front yard.

Shen Lang recognized that one of the voices was Qian Duguan's.

A cold murderous intent flashed across Ba Fenghan's eyes, and he made a chopping gesture with his right hand.

The two moved to the window and looked out.

They saw more than ten people walking towards them along the corridor, led by Qian Duguan and a tall man with a strange appearance and long hair.

Ba Fenghan's expression suddenly changed, "Li Mi! Why is he here?"

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Lang frowned. "You are at least a renowned young master. How can you be so panicked just by a Li Mi?"

Ba Fenghan had a hard time expressing his grievances. Li Mi was one of the most powerful masters in the world, even more famous than Du Fuwei, and he had countless talented men under his command.

No matter how confident he was, all he could think of at this moment was how to sneak away, rather than looking for trouble with Qian Duguan.

I heard voices getting closer.

Ba Fenghan whispered, "Brother Shen, they are coming here, what should we do?"

"You leave first." Shen Lang said calmly.

Ba Fenghan nodded and immediately left through the other window.

As soon as he left, Qian Duguan pushed the door open and came in.

When he saw the two people in the room, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

When Li Mi behind him saw Shen Lang, hatred immediately flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that Brother Qian doesn't know much about the martial arts world. This person is Shen Lang!"

"What?" Qian Duguan's face changed drastically. "He is the Shen Lang who defeated Chang Shumou and the others?"

"That's right." Li Mi said in a grim tone.

Qian Duguan's eyes were filled with vigilance as he said, "Brother Shen, I wonder why you've come to visit me so late at night? If you don't explain, even if you're a skilled martial artist, I'll still have to learn from you."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Excellent, excellent! I have long wanted to kill the husband and take the wife, steal her wealth and live in her house."

Having said this, he looked out the window at the tall building with lights on.

I saw Bai Qing'er standing by the window, looking over here intently.

Shen Lang added, "Qian Duguan, I gladly accept your concubine. Thank you!"

A figure flashed and went out of the window like a wisp of smoke, heading straight for Bai Qing'er in the high-rise building.

Qian Duguan immediately shouted, "Come here, stop him!"

Although he gave the order quickly, Shen Lang acted even faster.

In the blink of an eye, he had hugged Bai Qing'er, and then he passed by like a gust of wind, floating several feet away in an instant.
