Chapter 25 Interception
Chapter 25 Interception
There is a wonton stall in an alley near Tianwucheng North Street.
A traveling doctor was holding a bowl, eating enthusiastically.
This wonton has a thin skin and a large filling. The base soup is made from green vegetables, sprinkled with a little dried shrimp, and topped with chili.
The traveling doctor had a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose after eating so much.
After a moment, he swallowed the last mouthful of soup and threw the large bowl onto the pile of bowls next to it.
He patted his belly and let out a sigh of satisfaction:
"Delicious, delicious. In my opinion, your wontons are truly unique in Tianwu City. The Zhiweilou and Cuizhuxuan are far inferior to yours."
The stall owner sat aside, bored.
Business is slow today, so the Chu family is treating us to a buffet. As long as you say congratulations when you arrive, you can take a seat and enjoy the feast.
Naturally, not many people patronize his small wonton stall.
Hearing the words of the traveling doctor, the boss did not feel very happy. Instead, he looked at the doctor with caution:
"You're not going to eat for free, are you?"
There are many people who cannot afford to eat these days. Although Tianwu City is doing relatively well under Wu Ganqi's governance, not everyone has enough food to eat.
There are also some people who do not work and are idle. When they are extremely hungry, they go to places like restaurants to eat for free.
He would prepare a table full of delicious food and wine, and eat to his heart's content. Afterwards, he would call his waiter, curl up with his head in his hands, and wait for a beating.
The restaurant has a large business and a large number of staff. Even if it does not hire some thugs or martial artists, it still has kitchen helpers and men chopping wood in the backyard who can act as thugs.
After a beating, it is easy to kill someone if the opponent has heavy hands.
This traveling doctor didn't pay for the meal and kept saying nice things. He doesn't look like a good person at all.
If this is really free food, my small stall is no match for the big restaurants.
Without anyone to help, it's hard to say who will hit whom when a fight breaks out...
The traveling doctor smiled in silence:
"Boss, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm someone who eats without paying?"
As he said this, he took out the wonton money from his pocket and threw it on the table.
He stood up and let out a breath:
"I always feel like it's going to rain today. I hope I can have a chance to eat your wontons next time."
After saying this, he lifted the sign beside him and walked out of the alley.
The boss looked at his back, curled his lips, took the money and put it in his arms.
I looked up and saw the sky was clear, how could there be rain?
"Neuropathy……"
After muttering something, he quickly closed his stall.
He is not going to work today either, and plans to go to the Chu family for a banquet.
After the traveling doctor walked out of the alley, he headed east. After exiting the east city gate, he did not take the main road, but turned into a narrow path next to it.
When he reached a secluded place, he threw the banner in his hand into the bushes and began to take off his clothes.
But at this moment, several figures in green clothes appeared and surrounded him.
The doctor was stunned and laughed dryly:
"My dear fellows, are you seeking wealth or life?"
"Come with us."
One of the men in green took a step forward and spoke in a cold voice.
"Okay, okay, so you want someone."
He nodded quickly and clasped his hands together as if he was ready to be dealt with.
A man in green was about to take out a rope from behind to tie him up, but he saw the doctor's hands suddenly fly, and white powder immediately rose up into a white mist all over the sky.
The men in green originally thought that he would be easy to catch because he was honest.
No one expected this to happen. Except for a man in green who was a little alert and never came forward, everyone else was shocked. The next moment, a sharp edge suddenly appeared.
Several people suddenly groaned, covered their throats and fell to the ground.
Blood flowed from the cracks in his palms.
Finally, the man in green saw that something was wrong and turned around and left... This man killed several of his companions with one move. He was definitely no match for him, so he had to go back and pass on the message.
But before he could take a few steps, he heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind him.
He turned around hurriedly, but his body was shocked.
A javelin had pierced his throat.
When the white mist dispersed, the doctor grinned:
"It's really troublesome...
"You found me so quickly? Something's not right."
He rubbed his forehead and began to clear away the traces of the scene.
Then he took off his clothes and took away a set of green clothes, but he did not wear them and just carried them with him.
This was to confuse the pursuers behind him. When they arrived here and saw the doctor's clothes on the ground and one of their own men being stripped of his green clothes, they would definitely suspect that he had changed his clothes.
But little did they know that underneath his outer garment, he was wearing a black suit.
Finally, after creating the illusion that he was fleeing eastwards, he took off and headed north.
Let the person behind him look for Qing Yi towards the east, who would have thought that he would be wearing black and heading north?
They walked like this for half an hour, making many turns, and only relaxed after they were sure that there were no pursuers behind them.
Just as he was about to move forward, his expression suddenly changed.
Looking back suddenly, I saw a figure rising into the air. He stretched out one hand and seemed to have created a wall of air around him.
"【Green Void Palm】!!"
He could hardly believe his eyes. The Qingxu Palm was the Chu family's secret.
In the Chu family's inheritance, it is a palm technique that is carried out throughout.
The power of practice is mediocre at first, but as the internal strength of the Ruoxu Sutra increases, it gradually shows miraculous effects.
How could the Chu family chase us here?
With this thought in mind, he did not hesitate. He put his two palms together, loosely facing each other, and there seemed to be a vein flowing between the two palms.
Followed by turning and pushing with both hands.
A tremendous force was suddenly pushed out by him, and it collided violently with the power of the Qingxu Palm.
boom! ! !
There was a muffled sound, and the man felt relieved.
Although this man was using the Qingxu Palm, his internal strength was insufficient and he was unable to unleash the power of the Qingxu Palm, and was knocked into the air by his own palm.
He's not a killer, he's a contact.
Although he didn't know which member of the Chu family had taken action, he didn't want to get involved with it.
He wanted to turn around and leave while the other party was retreating.
But he didn't expect that at the moment he turned around... a long sword suddenly pierced through his shoulder.
"What……"
Although he was shocked, his reaction was not slow at all.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's sword was pulled out of his body, the doctor turned around, holding his palms with internal force, ready to attack, but when he turned around, there was nothing behind him.
Immediately afterwards, his ankles felt cold and he was no longer able to stand, so he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
The blood-stained sword was placed on his neck.
A voice that was extremely familiar to him came from his ears:
"Bai Qi, you are alive, why didn't you tell me?"
