Under the scorching sun and the blazing sun, the two of them stopped and rested along the way. They had been on the road for almost four hours and were already sweating profusely.

"It's so hot. If I had known earlier, I would have left at night. I would have gone to sleep by now."

Lu Yifeng was leaning against a big tree and wiping off his sweat. As he wiped off the sweat on his forehead, he simply stopped wiping it off.

Wang Tianba picked up the jug and gulped down a large amount of water. After he finished drinking, he tossed the jug to Lu Yifeng and said, "I'm afraid you won't even be able to find your way here at night. Even if you do, you'll still be heading towards the bandit's nest." He stood up and gazed into the distance. "Let's go. It's almost dark. We'll be arriving in An Zhou city before nightfall. Otherwise, we'll have to stay outside to feed the tigers."

Anzhou did not have Yangzhou or Luoyang, so usually there were not many travelers. Strangely, all the inns in the city were filled with guests today for the first time ever. Various people from different sects walked and interweaved on the street. Some wore red, some wore purple, and the most common were people dressed in white. All kinds of different clothing were available, and their styles of dressing were completely different. People of the martial arts world usually carried weapons with them, such as sabers, spears, hammers, iron chains, daggers, sticks, etc.

The biggest inn in the An Prefecture was called the Pleiance Inn. Today, it was filled with guests. All of them were wearing light red clothes, and each of them wore a mask, exposing only their eyes. Amongst the many red-clothed women, only one of them wore a different colour. She sat at the middle table of the inn for a meal and seemed to have quite a high position.

After the meal, she returned to her room accompanied by a woman in red.

"Witch Queen, why didn't we trade in Luoyang, but in this small prefecture instead?"

The woman in red asked.

"Xia Yu, this is extremely important, I'm just worried that something might have gone wrong." Her master said in a cautious tone, "Luoyang City is a place where the Azure Dragon will rule. I'm afraid that they will go back on their word and it will be hard for them to escape. However, the Azure Dragon Society can't do anything to us after we've arrived in An Prefecture. After all, it would take at least three days for Feng Zhe's subordinates to arrive in An Prefecture from Luoyang. Furthermore, I even saw Zhangsun Wuji the other day. With him in Luoyang, I will not be able to make a deal with Feng Zizai. "

The woman named Xia Yu continued, "There are many more martial artists in the city today than usual. It seems like the people from the seven big sects are here, are they …"

Master Xia Yu put his hand on a table and knocked a few times, gently and rhythmically.

"Yes, they might have received the news of the deal between me and Feng Zhizi, but they can't be sure what Feng Zhizi is holding in his hand, so they don't dare to act rashly."

Xia Yu said, "Is that thing really that important to us? You actually want to use two thousand weapons to exchange for it, just what exactly is inside. "

"Let alone 2,000 weapons, if Feng Zhe knew about the secret manual inside, he wouldn't even be able to trade with thousands of men and horses."

Hearing his master's words, Xia Yu finally understood the value of that box. As the two of them were talking, there was suddenly a knock on the door. A gentle female voice reported to the person within the room:

"Master, Feng Zizhi is coming from the south side of the city."

"Alright, I'll go down and prepare."

They went downstairs.

The sweaty Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba finally arrived at An Zhou city. The two of them led their horses weakly as they walked along the bustling street. Upon closer inspection, they felt that it was a little inappropriate.

Wang Tianba asked Lu Yifeng, "Yifeng, do you feel that something's wrong?"

Lu Yifeng swept the street with his gaze. The streets were filled with people carrying weapons. Moreover, there were a few groups of people wearing uniform. Among these people, only a few wore plain and simple clothes.

"Have we come to the wrong place? What are these people doing? "

"Impossible! Just now, the words written outside the city gates were clearly from An Prefecture, right?"

Lu Yifeng shook his hand and said, "Who cares about him. After walking for a day, he's already hungry. Let's fill his stomach first."

Wang Tianba searched his entire body, but didn't find anything. He looked at Lu Yifeng again. Other than a water jug, there was nothing else. Even the clothes he was wearing were tattered. He looked at Lu Yifeng and said,

"Do you have silver taels on you?"

Lu Yifeng replied, "No."

"Then we'll graze like this horse?"

Lu Yifeng stopped in his tracks. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said with complete confidence:

"I have an idea. Take the horses and wait for me outside the gate. We will sleep outside tonight. Hurry up and wait for my good news."

Wang Tianba's face was full of doubt. As the sky began to darken, he wondered just what Lu Yifeng wanted to do. However, since Lu Yifeng was so confident, Wang Tianba trusted his words and led the horse towards the city gates.

After searching for a while, Lu Yifeng arrived at the back door of an inn and quietly slipped in. He thought to himself, "This inn is so big, and there are so many guests, but it turns out we only have two workers. Since you guys are earning so much money a day, I don't think it's too much for me to borrow some." The waiter in the kitchen carried the dishes out and Lu Yifeng stepped into the restaurant.

Wang Tianba left the city and took a rest under a large tree not far from the city.

Xia Yu's master and a group of red-clothed women were currently meeting with a middle-aged man. Beside the middle-aged man was a young man in a violet robe. Dozens of people had gathered outside the inn.

When the middle-aged man saw Xia Yu's master, he first said a few polite words, then went upstairs.

Lu Yifeng swiftly grabbed two mouthfuls of steaming hot food and stuffed them into his mouth. After tasting the fresh food, he took out a bundle that he had stolen from who knows where and stuffed a few steamed buns and pieces of meat into it. Then, he made it out from the kitchen and went to the back door.

After entering the room, the middle-aged man closed the door behind him. He took out a bag, pointed at the box in the bag, and said to the woman, "The Divine Empress has traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to exchange a thousand weapons for this box. This thing must be very important to you."

The Witch Queen, who was wearing a mask, said, "I will give you what you want. This is Xuan..." Halfway through her sentence, Wu Dai realized that he had leaked the information. In order to make things more reasonable, she continued:

"Little brother, please give this to me. Tomorrow morning, I will get someone to deliver the weapon to your Azure Dragon Society's residence."

The man requested warily: "Since this item is so important, I also want to see the glory of the treasure. I believe that the Witch Queen has a way to open it, right?"

The Witch Queen was anxious as well. Seeing that the man was unwilling to give her the bag, she took advantage of the moment when the man was not paying attention to her and quickly grabbed the bag.

When the man saw that there was someone who dared to snatch what he wasn't willing to give, he cursed in his heart: Damned woman, no matter what, I'm still an elder of the Azure Dragon Society.

He suddenly raised his foot to kick the Witch Queen's body. The Witch Queen's reaction was fast, and with a turn of her body, dodged the man's kick, and scolded: "Feng Zizhi, what are you doing? I said I'd give you a weapon. "

Feng Zi was unconvinced and said: "Humph! I don't think it's that simple. What exactly is that thing? "

Lu Yifeng carefully made his way to the back door. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a few sounds of fighting. He stopped and looked around, but was unable to pinpoint the source of the sounds.

After Feng Zi executed the Tiger Subduing Fist, the witch was unable to react this time. The hand that held the bundle was struck, causing the bundle to fall towards the window. The witch retreated to the window, wanting to pick up her bag. How could Feng Zhe give her the chance to do so?

"Damned woman, you still want to take the box? Receive my attack."

This time, Feng Zizhi did not punch out, but used his leg to kick the Witch Queen. At that very moment, the Witch Queen rolled to the side and dodged his kick. Feng Zhe kicked a window and it fell down with his bag.

Lu Yifeng suddenly felt an ominous premonition. He looked up and found that a window in the sky was hurtling towards him at the speed of a meteor. He leisurely shouted, "Holy sh * t!"

He was so scared that he threw the bundle in his hand aside and quickly threw himself to the side. With a bang, the window fell beside him. He looked up and found the two of them fighting in the room. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "No way! It's just a few pieces of steamed buns, there's no need to kill people right? "

Feng Zizhi wanted to jump out of the window to grab his bag, but he was stopped by the Divine Magus. The Divine Magus also threw punches and kicks and started fighting with Feng Zizai. As Feng Zizai neutralized the Witch Queen's attack, he shouted towards Lu Yifeng outside the window, "Stinky brat, don't move."

Lu Yifeng stood up, wanting to pick up the bundle. But at that moment when he stretched out his hand, even he was stunned. He discovered that there were two identical bags on the ground, but he didn't know what they were.

Which one was his?

Feng Tian'an, who was in the inn, vaguely heard the sounds of fighting coming from the room upstairs. He anxiously stood up and wanted to go up to the second floor.

Yuan Xiayu stood at the stairs and stopped Feng Tian An, saying, "Young Master Feng, what are you trying to do? "We agreed that no one is allowed to get close to the room before the transaction ends."

Feng Tian An didn't think much of Yuan Xia Yu and said disdainfully: "My father is up there. I want to go up and see what happened." Get out of the way, or else I won't be polite. "

Yuan Xia Yu wasn't scared by Feng Tian An's words at all. She said, "If you want to go up, you'll have to get through me first."

With that said, dozens of red-clothed women drew their swords. Seeing this, the people from the Azure Dragon Society also entered the inn with their weapons. The two groups of people faced off against each other.

Feng Tian'an wanted to fly from the inn to the second floor and jump up. Yuan Xia Yu wasn't inferior in any way. He drew his sword and flew into the air to block Feng Tian An's path. The two of them fought in the air until the ground. That group of red-clothed girls were also fighting with the people from the Azure Dragon Society. Every inch of the inn had become a battlefield.

Lu Yifeng hesitated for a moment before he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him, "Brat, stop." "Kill him."

He turned around and saw dozens of people holding large blades rushing towards him. Without thinking too much, Lu Yifeng picked up a bundle and flipped it over the wall. Upon seeing this, the people behind him jumped over the wall and chased after Lu Yifeng.
