There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

The weeping willows lay silently in the pattering spring rain. The roofs were dark and the roads were covered with yellow mud. Not a single person could be seen. The whole town seemed to be slowly decaying in the rain.

When Lu Hu and the caravan arrived at the entrance of the town, Old Man Sun of the caravan immediately shut up his mouth that kept talking all the way, reined in his horse, forced the convoy behind him to stop, and scanned the town with slightly narrowed eyes. One lap.

"Strange, why is Weeping Willow Town so quiet!"

"It has been raining for several days in a row. People are hiding in their homes and there is no one on the streets. Isn't that normal?"

The young man next to Old Man Sun said.

"Young master, think about it, no matter whether we were entering a village or a town, when did the dogs start barking before anyone entered? Is there any village or town that doesn't have dogs? Are there any sounds of barking now?"

This young man is the son of the caravan boss. After his cultivation reached the Zang training stage, he was released. He ran in the caravan to accumulate experience in the world and prepare for his future succession. This is his first time coming out, so Old Man Sun also I will make things clear to him at some critical points.

Unlike the Young Master's family, when the guards in the convoy behind saw Weeping Willow Town, they immediately noticed something was wrong without Old Man Sun reminding them. They all put their hands on their weapons, and the relief on their faces disappeared. , with a serious look on his face.

"Damn it, Lao Zhao, how the hell did you explore the road? You have been in the world for so long and you don't have any eyesight at all?"

"Fuck you, this Weeping Willow Town was fine when we came here. I took a look at it from a distance and knew that we were on the right track and then came back. Why do you still run up to me every time you explore the road?"

While the guards behind him were on alert, Old Man Sun continued to tell the young master's family: "Also, it is getting dark at this time, and the town is still dark. There is no light from the candles in every house, and there is no smoke. It can be seen that this The town has quite a problem!”

Old Man Sun rubbed his goatee on his chin with one hand. Although he was speaking to the young host's family, his eyes secretly glanced at Lu Hu.

Lu Hu was still riding lazily on his horse, with no change in his expression at all about the abnormality in Weeping Willow Town.

"Could it be that a town was invaded by bandits?"

The young master didn't think twice about what he said. As soon as he said it, he realized that he was stupid.

Inside the town, the yellow mud on the roads did not mess up the footsteps, the doors of the houses were all intact, and there were no blood stains. It could not have been plundered by bandits.

Sure enough, when he said these words, Old Man Sun didn't even respond, as if he hadn't heard them.

Old Man Sun turned his head, a smile spread across his old face, and said to Lu Hu: "Sir, do you have any orders?"

Old Man Sun has a good reputation and is surrounded by an unfathomable master. When encountering this kind of thing, it is right to ask Lu Hu immediately.

"You can make up your own mind, I won't interfere!"

Lu Hu dismissed Old Man Sun with just one word. Seeing Lu Hu's uncaring look, the young master's family next to him immediately felt unhappy.

Since this person, Old Man Sun has served him well and well, but now when something happens, he doesn't even want to give him an idea. He really comes here to eat and drink. How can a dirty martial artist have such a big air?

As expected, he came from a small place like Qingzhou and felt that he would become a big shot by practicing guangqi. Who isn't? What's so arrogant!

The mentality of most young people is like this. There is always a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment. When they see that Old Man Sun, whom they respect very much, treats Lu Hu respectfully and arrogantly, but Lu Hu ignores him most of the time, it becomes even more frustrating. He was secretly unhappy.

At this time, he took a deep breath and was about to blurt out something, but when Old Man Sun heard the sound of inhaling, he immediately turned around and gave him a stern look.

Old Man Sun is a good friend of his father. When he was young, he was also a master of visceral training. He had a wide network and many friends. Now that he is in his old age, he no longer runs caravans in person. This is his first time going out. Come specifically to take care of yourself.

The prestige in the caravan is only lower than that of his father. His father is usually called "old brother" and respects him very much. Therefore, as soon as Old Man Sun looked at him, he successfully blocked the young host's words.

In fact, the energy in this young man is not a bad thing in the eyes of Old Man Sun and his father. Young people should have this vigor of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, which is of great benefit in martial arts.

These two old guys, because they ran caravans when they were young, their energy was worn out early. Their tact and sophistication allowed them to successfully grow the caravan and have a foothold of their own, but at the same time they were also in the process of impact. When he was in the Qi Sea Realm, he was not decisive enough. If he had made a desperate decision at that time, he might not be able to knock on the door of the Qi Sea Realm!

This incident was a major concern between the two of them, and they regretted it every day in the years to come.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, so with their lessons learned, we can shield the next generation from as much wind and rain as possible so that they can thrive.

However, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to provoke some big waves because of this.

After restraining the young master, Old Man Sun stared at him for a breath, then turned to the people behind him and said: "Damn, we're afraid we've won the jackpot. Brothers, please work harder and take a detour! "

After Old Man Sun finished speaking, everyone's faces changed color. They had traveled all over the country and had a lot of experience. They knew what Old Man Sun meant by the jackpot. Although everyone had been trekking in the rain for several days in a row and was very tired by now, they still They all knew the pros and cons, had no complaints in their mouths, and immediately cheered up.

"Damn it, I didn't meet him in Qingzhou, but I met him when I returned to Yunzhou. What a damn unlucky thing!"

"Hurry up and leave before it gets dark again! Prepare torches, we won't rest tonight!"

After giving instructions to everyone, Old Man Sun said to the young master: "It's enough for me to watch from the front. You go to the back of the motorcade!"

The young master didn't say much, turned the horse's head, and went to look after the convoy.

The convoy quickly continued on its way from the official road on one side of Chuiliu Town.

Although everyone wanted to speed up and hurried away from Weeping Willow Town, the road was full of mud and the speed improvement was extremely limited.

The wheels were sparkling, and the group of people no longer chatted and joked before. They all fell silent and kept observing the surrounding environment.

As the sky became darker and darker, the drizzle that had been pouring finally stopped. The sky turned gray-blue, and the trees on both sides turned into black shadows, which was eerie.

The atmosphere in the team also became more depressing and heavy.

"Huh~!"

The kerosene burned, and the guards lit the torches. The flames jumped, and orange-red fire appeared, bringing a touch of warmth to everyone's cold and damp bodies.
