C109

Outside the Ten Thousand Flowers House, Xue Duan had already prepared two fast horses. One Xue Duan and one Cui Rong mounted their horses and the two of them rushed out of the city.

The two of them galloped at top speed. When they arrived at the city gates, they were stopped by the Black Armored Army who were guarding the city gates.

"Who are you? Why are you leaving the city? Don't you know it's already curfew time?!" The leader of the Black Armored Soldiers questioned Xue Duan and Cui Bong when he saw them galloping over on their fast horses.

Xue Duan didn't expect that the black armored soldier guarding the city gate would dare to block his way. He reined his horse and glanced at the black armored soldier that had stopped them. He didn't find it strange that it wasn't the same person from before.

Xue Duan then said, "You are not qualified to know who I am. As for why I'm leaving the city, you are even less qualified to know. Open the gate, or else you will miss my life."

Hearing Xue Duan's words, the soldier immediately shouted, "Impudent! I've never heard such arrogant words since I guarded this Shattered Leaf City's city gate. You even dare to make me watch out for my life?! I think you're courting death.

He didn't want to have a conflict with the Black Armored Army, so he dismounted immediately and told the lead Black Armored Soldier, "Please wait a moment, my brother is not sensible and has offended the Military Lord. Please forgive him. It's just a small gesture, if there's no respect, why don't you invite everyone here for a drink? "

As she spoke, Qu Rong took out a silver ingot and handed it over to the leader of the Black Armored Army. The Black Armored Soldier accepted the silver and took a look. It was actually ten taels of silver. He was extremely happy.

However, there was no limit to a person's desire. This Black Armored Soldier could tell that Cui Bong wasn't someone who was short on money just by looking at her willing to pay ten taels of silver. Thus, twenty taels of silver shouldn't be a problem.

Immediately, that Black Armored Soldier said, "All these are just enough to let you leave the city alone. "If you want me to let you two out, hehe …"

As the Black Armored Soldier spoke, he rubbed his thumb against his middle and index finger. His intention was obvious. With just this little bit of silver, he wanted me to let you two out of the city. Not only did you not have a door, you didn't even have a window.

When Xue Duan saw this, he dismounted and was about to attack the black armored soldier. Cui Rong had been observing Xue Duan's actions the entire time, but he stopped him the instant he dismounted. The speed was so quick that Xue Duan was astonished.

After stopping Xue Duan, Qu Rong consoled him in a low voice, "Young master, don't forget, there are people waiting for us outside the city. We don't need to hold up our affairs for a small fry. I know young master is from the army, so I don't see such a thing happening in front of you."

After saying this to Xue Duan, Qu Rong then hurried over to the leader of the Black Armored Army and took out another ten taels of silver. "Mister soldier, these are all the silver I have on me. If we don't have any more, please let us out of the city."

The Black Armored Soldier took the twenty taels of silver and said to Qu Rong, "You brat, you're still decent. Since that's the case, I'll let you guys out!"

With that, the leader of the Black Armored Army said to the city guards, "Open the gate and let them out."

Hearing the order, the city guards opened the gates. Seeing this, Cui Rong pulled Xue over to her horse, and the two of them galloped on their horses towards the Lion's Ridge outside of Shattered Leaf City.

Not long after Xue Duan and Cui Rong left the city, Hong Lei brought a group of people to the city's entrance and asked, "Did anyone leave the city just now?"

"No …." No. "Leader, rest assured. With us brothers here, a fly can forget about flying out of Shattered Leaf City without the approval of the chief." The black armored soldier that had received Cui Bong's silver immediately explained when he heard Hong Lei's question.

Hong Lei looked at the black armored soldier and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! Leader, I swear with my life that no one has ever gone out!" That Black Armored Soldier didn't want to give the twenty taels of silver he had just received to Hong Lei. He still wanted to keep the silver to drink flowers and wine!

When Hong Lei heard this, he immediately pulled out the sword at his waist and beheaded that Black Armored Soldier without mercy. Until the Black Armored Soldier died, he didn't understand why Hong Lei wanted to kill him.

After Hong Lei chopped off the head of the black armored soldier, he immediately turned to the city guards and sternly said, "Whoever dares to bully me will be killed without mercy." Tell me, was there anyone who went out? "

When the city guards saw this, they immediately kneeled in front of Hong Lei. The soldier closest to Hong Lei immediately spoke to him with a trembling voice, "Reporting in … Leader, Gang … "Just now, there were two people riding their horses out of the city."

When Hong Lei heard this, he immediately said, "Quick, open the gates and let the cavalry chase. There's a high possibility that Yang Muyun is among those two."

Finishing his words, Hong Lei led the Black Armored Army out of the city gate and followed the tracks in the direction of Xue Duan and Qu Yan.

At this time, the Lion Ridge, Yang Muyun and Tian Ba had already been waiting here for a long time.

Looking at the time, Yang Muyun anxiously asked, "Brother Xue, why aren't you here yet? Did something happen on the way here?"

Tian Ba could feel Yang Muyun's anxiety and immediately comforted him, "Young Master Yang, don't worry, Young Master Xue won't do something without confidence. We just need to patiently wait."

After Yang Muyun heard Tian Ba's words of relief, he nodded and no longer said anything. After a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.

"They're here!" Tian Ba heard the sound and said this to Yang Muyun.

When Yang Muyun heard this, he immediately became serious and prepared to fight with his sword as soon as Qu Rong arrived.

When they were about to enter Lion's Ridge, she asked Xue Duan, "Young Master Xue, there's Lion Ridge up ahead. Why did the leader of the Heavenly Net choose such a place to meet up with you?"

Xue Duo was afraid that Qu Rong would see through him, so he immediately said, "I won't hide it from Senior, the Lion Ridge has a stronghold of the Heaven's Net Organisation. Only then will Heaven's Net's leader, Duan Tianlang, choose to meet with you here. It's almost here. Senior, do you still have anything to hesitate about? "

In her heart, Qu Rong felt that something was amiss, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was amiss. When she heard Xue Duan's explanation, Qu Rong's heart slightly calmed down. She said to Xue Duan, "Young Master Xue, there is no hesitation, but there is some unease in your heart. You know, we martial artists have always had very accurate intuition."
