Chapter 64 - The difference of a hair's breadth (4)

  "Bang, bang!" Two loud noises rang out. Liu Xingdao let out a cry of "Ah!" and fell to the ground, clutching his face in pain and rolling around wildly. Yan Shouren held up his palm, pointing at Zheng Dakuan and the others with his Palm Cannon, shouting: "You've come! Is anyone else coming?" Just now, Yan Shouren had shot out two iron beans, one hitting Liu Xingdao right on the nose, the other hitting him in the eye. The pain was so intense that even the King of Heaven couldn't bear it.

  Yan Shou stopped in his tracks, muttering to himself: "Yan Shou Ren, you're being too nosy again, I'm already feeling suffocated!"

  Yan Jing Tian rushed to Zheng Da Chuan, clasped his fists and said: "Brothers on the opposite side, we are also unwilling to make trouble when going out! Since your masters have all given up, I hope you brothers will let us through, we'll leave quickly! If there's still anyone who doesn't accept this, we can settle it now!" After finishing speaking, Yan Jing Tian's eyes shone brightly as he swept his gaze around Zheng Da Chuan and the others. Wherever his gaze fell, no one didn't secretly feel a twinge of fear, avoiding Yan Jing Tian's gaze. Who would still dare to jump out and cause trouble?

  Zheng Daquan said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Thank you, brothers! Thank you!"

  Yan Jing Tian hummed and led the crowd forward. The group of people on Zheng Da Chuan's side retreated to one side, no one dared to speak.

  Yan Jing Tian walked to the horse stable, Shui Yao Er, Huo Xiao Xie and Yan Shou Yi led the horses out, it turned out that they had arrived at the horse stable during Yan Jing Tian's conversation with Zheng Da Chuan and untied all the horses.

  Yan Jing Tian and the others were about to mount their horses, with Huo Xiao Xie still sharing a horse with Shui Yao Er. Someone in the stable shouted loudly: "Heroes, please take me away from this place! If I'm left here, my life will be in danger!" It was none other than that unlucky fellow Qian Zhanggui, now bound hand and foot to a wooden stake in the stable.

  "Didn't you say you wanted to fight Zheng Daquan to the death? Isn't this a good opportunity?"

  "Moneybags Qian cried out in desperation: 'You heroes, you can't just stand by and watch me die! I was temporarily possessed by a demon and harmed you all, but I'm also under the orders of Zhang Siye, it's not that my heart has turned black! Save me, heroes!'"

  Jia Chunzi rolled out of the haystack like a big worm, constantly rolling and struggling on the ground, wailing loudly.

  Qian Zhanggui cried out in a woeful voice: "Jia Chunzi, if it weren't for your grandfather saving you, would these heroes have stood idly by? Jia Chunzi, how bitter my life is! After being tormented by Zhang Siye for over ten years, the inn I painstakingly managed was gone in the blink of an eye. In the end, we didn't get anything, and now we're going to lose your brother's and our two lives for no reason at all! We're so wronged!"

  Qian Zhanggui cried out in anguish, almost to the point of collapse. Huo Xiaoxie couldn't bear to see this scene and whispered to Yan Jingtian, "Yan Dage, I think we should just take them away for now."

  Yan Jing Tian furrowed his brow, but nodded and said: "Since you've asked for mercy, I'll let them follow us for a while! Yan Shou Chen, Yan Shou Ren, each of you ride a horse and follow us for a bit!"

  Yan Shouzheng and Yan Shourong responded, separately untied Qian Zhanggui and Jia Chunzi, ordering them to hurry up and mount their horses.

  Jia Chunzi was also unclear about what was going on and, hearing Qian Zhanggui's shouts, the two of them each mounted a horse.

  Yan Jing Tian Chong was still standing in the courtyard, and Zheng Daquan and others made a fist and shouted: "Farewell, brothers! We will meet again!" With that, he clutched his horse's belly, let out a loud whoop, and led the group to gallop away with all the horses, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

  Zheng Daquan and Zhao Yanguan stood there stupidly, unable to utter a word for a long time.

  Zhao Yanguang cursed angrily: "This group of turtle grandsons, didn't even leave us a single horse! Their methods are too ruthless!"

  Zheng Dakuan took off his hat and slapped his bald head repeatedly, stomping his foot and cursing: "The sky is about to brighten! Zhang Siye will arrive soon! This duck that's already in our mouths can fly away!"

  Zheng Daquan cursed non-stop, and from a distance, a bright light flashed on the mountain top. A red sun burst out with a sharp point, and countless rays of light swept down in an instant, illuminating the entire Luma Inn!

  Zheng Daquan saw this sunlight and hated himself even more, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, sighing endlessly.

  Zhao Yanguo suddenly shouted: "Old Zheng! Someone's coming!"

  Zheng Daquan looked up and saw that at the end of the road, a large group of people and horses were rushing towards the Fallen Horse Inn, kicking up clouds of yellow sand! At the front of the group, on a tall and majestic horse, sat none other than Zhang Siye, the ninth-generation successor of the Wind Chaser Divine Captor! On either side of Zhang Siye's horse, three giant leopard dogs were running, letting out earth-shaking howls!

  Zhang Siye's large team of horses poured into the courtyard of the Luoma Inn, jumping off their horses in an orderly and uniform manner, without any chaos.

  Three leopards pounced in front of Zheng Daquan and his men, stopped, growling lowly, with fierce eyes, waiting for Zhang Siye's order to pounce and tear. Zheng Daquan and his men had been frightened by the strength of Zhang Siye's team, and when they saw such ferocious beasts as leopards, they were scared pale, huddled together in a heap.

  Zheng Daquan shouted loudly: "Zhang Siye, it's me, it's me, Zheng Daquan!"

  "Alright, you three, fall back!" Zhang Siye shouted. The three leopard dogs retreated to the side, still staring at Zheng Daquan and his companions with a low growl. The hook soldiers, on the other hand, followed Mr. Zhou's orders and quickly ran past Zheng Daquan and his companions, gathering at the edge of the pit, holding their three-clawed hooks and carefully examining the bottom of the pit.

  Zhang Siye stepped forward quickly and scolded: "Zheng Dakuan, how is it you? Where are the people? Where is Qian Zhanggu?"

  "Zhang, Zhang Siye, this is not my fault, it's not my fault... the person, the person ran away..."

  "What! The man has escaped?"

  Zheng Daquan said timidly: "Originally, they were trapped at the bottom of the pit, and we were guarding above, waiting for Zhang Siye to come. Who knew that they...they somehow managed to escape! Just...just..."

  "Zhang Siye cursed loudly: 'I know you're just a bunch of useless things! Trash! Trash! Even the giant pit that killed the elephant and the iron cage that locked up the house couldn't stop people from escaping!!! Call Qian Zhanggu to come over! Where is he?!'"

  Zheng Dakuan hastily reported: "That, that Qian Zhanggui and they ran away together! I saw, I saw it was Qian Zhanggui who let them out!" Zheng Dakuan was quite good at framing others.

  "Fart!" Zhang Siye scolded loudly, "Zheng Daquan, do you still want your head?! What kind of virtue is Money Zhang? I understand it a hundred times better than you!"

  Zheng Daquan's face turned earthy, and he hastily said: "Zhang Siye, it was my guess, it was my guess. Manager Qian indeed left with them, but what exactly happened between them, I really don't know."

  Mr. Zhou rushed over

  "Report: 'Zhang Siye, the person is indeed gone! If I'm not mistaken, there's a hole at the back window of the pit house, it's likely that someone inside and outside collaborated, dug from the bottom to the inside, and broke through the pit wall to let the person out.'"

  "Amazing! They actually have the ability to rescue people from Qian Zhanggui's giant pit of death!"

  Zheng Daquan felt a chill in his heart, thinking to himself: "Damn it, I froze for a whole night and didn't even notice someone was digging a hole underground! If only I had known, I wouldn't have made a move against Qian the shopkeeper."

  Zhang Siye pointed at Zheng Dakuan and asked: "I'm asking you! How many people were there in their group, what did they look like, and where did they run to?"

  "Six people, six people. There were four adults, all wearing the same dark-colored jackets. The first one was over thirty years old, with a long face and short hair. The other three included one who liked to scold people, one in his twenties, and another with a wooden-like face. We caught those four, but the other two escaped and ran away together."

  "Are there two more?" Zhang Siye hummed.

  Zheng Daquan said: "There were two more people, didn't see clearly, one of them seemed to be a half-grown boy with a completely black face, and the other was like a little girl. They rode horses, Qian Zhuang also went with them, all heading south."

  Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou exchanged a glance, both nodding in unison. Zhang Siye shouted: "Mount up, let's pursue southward!"

  Hooked soldiers listen to orders, retreat neatly, and turn over on horseback.

  Zheng Daquan said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Siye, are we going to chase with you too?"

  Zhang Siye leapt onto his horse and cursed: "You bunch of useless trash! Just stay here and wait for death!"

  "Alright, alright! Slow down, Fourth Master Zhang! Slow down, Fourth Master Zhang!"

  Zhang Siye grunted and stopped paying attention to Zheng Dakuan, pulled the reins, led Hook Soldier and Leopard Dog, and rushed out of the yard like a mad wind, leaving dust behind.

  Zheng Daquan stood there in a daze, rubbing his bald head and stuttering: "Indeed it's Zhang Siye, what prestige!"

  Zhao Yanguan squeezed beside Zheng Dachuan and whispered, "Boss Zheng, even if we didn't keep an eye on the person, at least we found their trail. Zhang Siye should reward us for that! Boss Zheng, did you forget to mention the reward?"

  Zheng Daquan flew into a rage, swung his fist and slapped Zhao Yangu heavily, cursing: "Money, damn money! If Zhang Siye hadn't slaughtered us, we would have been lucky!"

  Zhao Yanguo covered his head and jumped to one side, saying: "Zheng Lao Da, I'm also thinking for everyone! We not only let people steal our horses, but also lost two brothers. What have we accomplished on this trip? We've suffered a complete loss!"
