Chapter 243 A Lean Horse and a Broken Cart Arrive at Mashan
Three days later, the entire Mashan Village was peaceful, tranquil, and comfortable.
Chu Chen sat by the reservoir, holding a fishing rod, and fished.
Big Yellow, who was beside me, would stand up and look around from time to time, and then lie down on the ground again.
Chen Qingxuan continued drinking on the rooftop.
Several women were chattering and busying themselves around the villa.
Meanwhile, on the official road leading from the capital to Qingyun City, a minivan was speeding along.
"Young man, could you drive a little faster? I'm in a hurry."
"Daoist, this is the limit. Don't worry, we will definitely reach Qingyun City this afternoon."
That's right, the person sitting in the car was Zhu Liuxiang.
Upon hearing that his beloved disciple was in danger, he didn't even have time to pack his things before following the car that had come to him towards Qingyun City.
He knew very well that his disciple was already a ninth-rank master, and there was also a female disciple of the upper ninth rank.
With that kid's incredible skill with hidden weapons, there shouldn't be any danger in Qingyun City.
But if Chen Qingxuan is in danger at this moment, then he must have encountered a very powerful opponent.
Otherwise, these children wouldn't have asked him for help.
After catching a few small carp in the reservoir, Chu Chen casually tossed them to Big Yellow.
Big Yellow took the fish and headed back to its nest.
Chu Chen also found it boring, so he put down his fishing rod and headed towards the villa.
Sitting in the tea room, there was a walkie-talkie on the tea table that had never been turned off.
Around noon, a voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.
"Godfather, the three of them headed towards Qingniu Town, with a skinny horse and a dilapidated carriage."
"Alright, I got it. Thanks for your hard work, Chu Er."
"It's not hard, it should be."
"I'm giving you another task: place people in the mansion in the west of the city, Red Romance, Fragrance Pavilion, and at the city gate."
"Once you see a van coming in, stop it. If there is an old Taoist priest in the van, tell him to go directly to Mashan Village in Qingniu Town."
After saying that, Chu Chen put the walkie-talkie down again.
Based on the information Chu Er just mentioned, those members of the Tongtian Divine Sect must be heading towards my Mashan Village.
In that case, he should start making preparations now.
Moreover, if the date is right and his people deliver the message in time, then Master Zhu should be able to arrive in Qingyun City today.
Because there were two people driving, they traveled day and night without stopping.
The speed was very fast, and Chu Chen had no idea that the divine vehicle would break down halfway.
At this moment, Chu Chen deeply felt the importance of that communication base station.
But there wasn't enough time; the base station hadn't even been built when the Tongtian Divine Cult came knocking.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen flashed into the space and poured himself another half bucket of water.
However, his cultivation level is still at the fifth rank. Breaking through to the sixth rank is not a simple matter and will take time.
Time, time, everything seems to be too late.
Chu Chen felt a little impatient at this moment, but as soon as he left the space, he headed towards the villa's balcony.
On the balcony, Chen Qingxuan and Mu Xueqin listened to Chu Chen's story with furrowed brows.
"You mean, they're heading straight for Mashan Village?"
"Indeed, it seems today will not be peaceful."
"Chu Chen, don't worry, the two of us will try our best to hold off that grandmaster elder. Once you find a way to capture their leader, things will probably be easier."
Mu Xueqin looked at the two of them and said firmly.
Chu Chen knew that it would be no easy task to have a ninth-rank upper-level and a ninth-rank lower-level individual hold off the old man called Lao Hei.
He himself is not afraid. If all else fails, he can hide in space, and even the King of Heaven himself wouldn't be able to find him.
But there are so many people behind me, so many villagers.
At this moment, Chu Chen regretted returning to Mashan Village.
But even if they didn't return to Mashan Village, would those people not come?
The result was actually the same: the Red Romance Pavilion and the Fragrant Pavilion in the city must have been secretly investigated by them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come all the way to Mashan Village.
"You drunkard, tell me, let's drive to the village entrance and tow them all the way to your master..."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Chen's eyes lit up as he spoke to Chen Qingxuan.
"No, it's too dangerous. I think I've guessed who that old black guy you're talking about is, but I'm not sure."
Before Chen Qingxuan could speak, Mu Xueqin interrupted Chu Chen's thoughts.
"Do you know who he is?"
As soon as Mu Xueqin spoke, both of them looked at her and asked.
"I'm not sure. I only saw that person once when I was very young."
"What should we do then? It will be difficult to deal with them once they reach Mashan Village."
Chen Qingxuan looked at Mu Xueqin and asked.
"If it's him, then the villagers should be safe; he never seems to kill civilians!"
"Chu Chen, tell Tiger and the others to leave. Don't provoke him. The three of us will go to greet him."
"As long as we can hold out until Master arrives, the crisis will be over."
After Mu Xueqin finished speaking, she headed towards the wall.
Helpless, Chen Qingxuan followed behind her.
As it was nearing noon, Chu Chen instructed Xiao Lan and Xiao Tao to prepare some food, pack it in a lunchbox, and then fully armed himself before heading towards the city wall.
On the city wall, Chu Chen called over Brother Hu and asked him to lead the villagers away first.
"What are you talking about? Who has your Brother Tiger been afraid of all these years?"
“Just leave when I tell you to. You can’t even handle a drunkard. Not only are you useless here, you’ll only hinder the drunkard’s performance.”
Tiger thought it made sense, nodded to Chu Chen, and turned to beckon the young people in the village to walk towards the back.
But they didn't sit idly by. Instead, they went to the front of the house, took out their crossbows, and set up a defensive line there.
Seeing this, Chu Chen did not stop them. Since they were so united, he would let them go on their own.
So, on the wall of Mashan Village.
The three of them, each holding a lunchbox, waited quietly for the arrival of the dilapidated carriage that Chu Er had mentioned.
A steel sword was placed beside both Mu Xueqin and Chen Qingxuan.
Chu Chen had several hand grenades and an Uzi tucked behind his back.
In the rooms with firing ports, Chu Chen also instructed Hu Zi to open all the doors.
If things really come to a head, I'll just give that cult leader and that girl a good blast.
Kill them one by one.
The waiting time seemed especially long, and the three of them chatted idly, seemingly bored.
At this moment, on the smooth cement road leading from Qingniu Town to Mashan Village.
Chi Yanfei lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Uncle Lao Hei, I never thought there would be such a smooth road in this world."
"Haha, young master, there are many strange and wonderful things in this world. Just like the car and weapon in Chu Chen's hand, they are unheard of."
Old Hei lightly cracked his whip on the skinny horse's back and laughed as he spoke.
"Uncle Lao Hei, what you've said has scared Xiao Si. What if that night...?"
Xiao Si thought back to that night when she held that dagger to Chu Chen's waist.
If Chu Chen had intended to kill at that time, based on Uncle Hei's description of the power and speed of that hidden weapon...
I guess I'm already a corpse by now.
