Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Half a month later, two figures slowly appeared in the Gobi Desert about a hundred miles away from Longmen Pass. They were Hong Guan and Yue Lingshan.

Hongguan's attributes are high, there is no big change, wearing goggles, looking at the sky full of yellow sand.

Yue Lingshan was in a miserable situation. Although she was covered tightly and wore goggles, and followed Hong Guan, she had no shortage of delicious food and drinks, and the Coke that looked like Chinese medicine was delicious, but she could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.

"Brother Guan, how long will it take to get to the place you mentioned?"

"We're almost there. There's another post station before we get to Longmen Inn. We can take a break there."

Yue Lingshan nodded and said, "Brother Guan, do you think there can be treasures in such a barren place? Have you been deceived?"

Hong Guan smiled and patted Yue Lingshan's head. "Don't worry, the intelligence is absolutely accurate. The treasure of Taibai Kingdom is about to be revealed. When we take the treasure, we can deal with the people from the West Factory as well."

"Well, then it will be a good time to try out the sword you gave me."

At this time, Yue Lingshan was holding an emerald green sword in her arms. When she pulled out the sword, she could see that the rapier inside was also emerald green.

It was Hong Guan who entered the Elf Forest. He originally wanted to fight monsters and search for treasures, but he found that there were very few elves in it, and they were all little elves similar to flower fairies, which was useless.

However, the trees and plants inside are diverse and very hard. Hong Guan collected some of each and made this jade sword for Yue Lingshan!

The horses walked forward for about thirty miles, the sky gradually darkened, and the outline of the post station appeared. In the Gobi Desert filled with wind and sand, there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.

Upon entering the post station, Yue Lingshan could smell the strong smell of animal feces, which made her wrinkle her nose.

She asked for a room upstairs. After entering, she found the doors and windows closed and the smell was much less. Yue Lingshan untied her scarf and took a breath.

"Brother Guan, there are so many people in this post station, and isn't this upper house also an adobe house? I think it's just a little bigger."

"It's good to have a place to stay. If we had come a day or two later, we might not even have a place to stay."

"Are you saying that the people from the West Factory will be here soon?"

Hong Guan listened attentively to the sound of the wind outside. "It should be. It's the windy season now. The legendary black sandstorm that occurs once every sixty years is about to appear. The people from the West Factory should be arriving soon."

"Okay, I'll kill a few more people from the West Factory then! Brother Guan, quickly bring out the food and Coke. I'm exhausted and need a big meal and a good sleep. It's a pity that there's no way to take a shower here."

Hong Guan laughed, took out four pig's trotters, a large elbow, a plate of spicy cabbage, and a large bottle of Coke. Yue Lingshan was no longer surprised by Hong Guan's methods, and happily began to eat.

"Eat slowly. With your appetite, you'll be a little fat girl in five months, not five years."

Yue Lingshan's mouth was full of oil as she ate. She glared at Hong Guan in dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Guan, you are so annoying. It's obviously because the food you made is delicious. Isn't it normal for people who practice martial arts to have a big appetite?"

After dinner, Yue Lingshan quickly rested. The two of them were making good progress and it felt like there was just a thin veil between them. Yue Lingshan hadn't mentioned Linghu Chong for many days.

Hong Guan took out a piece of tiger skin, spread it on the ground, sat cross-legged, and practiced internal energy. The people here are from all walks of life. When they came in today, there were more than a dozen people staring at Yue Lingshan with malicious eyes. She had to be on guard!

Late at night, all human voices have disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind.

Suddenly, Hong Guan's ears moved. The thick window paper was poked open by the dampness, and a bamboo tube was inserted into it.

Hong Guan immediately put away the tiger skin, climbed onto the bed, and pretended to be asleep. A stream of smoke blew in from the bamboo tube, and Yue Lingshan soon began to snore. This smoke was really effective!

After about three minutes, the smoke screen probably took effect, so a dagger was inserted through the crack in the door and the bolt was pried open with a slight push.

With the sound of light footsteps, five people walked into the room.

"Boss, don't worry. I bought this smoke from Feng Lidao. It's very effective. You can tell at a glance that these two are rookies. They must have fallen for it."

"Haha, Third Brother, you're the first to do the work this time. After I enjoy it, you can be the second. I'll give you an extra half of the money I got!"

"Thank you, big brother. Although I didn't see her face, her figure is really irresistible!"

Just as the five people walked to the bedside, Hong Guan suddenly opened his eyes and was a little surprised to see the people in front of him. These five people were dressed like postmen in the post station.

This is the black and white game. Many merchants passing by, if they have not been cheated at the Longmen Inn, will be hard to escape here as long as their wealth is exposed! Listening to the conversation between the two, it is obvious that this is not the first time.

Seeing Hong Guan open his eyes, the five people were stunned. At this time, Hong Guan had already drawn his sword. A flash of blood appeared, and the four people fell to the ground, covering their throats. The blood flowed out and was absorbed by the sand.

"Do you know why you didn't die?" Looking at the remaining person, whose legs were trembling and looking at him in fear, Hong Guan spoke lightly.

"No, I don't know. If you have any instructions, just tell me."

Hong Guan returned the Hundred Beasts Sword to its sheath and glanced at the man. "You are very smart. Smart people usually have a chance to survive. Are you the postmen of this post station?"

"Master, you have a keen eye. We are the postmen here for five years. We will be able to return home soon."

"You have done this kind of thing a lot in the past five years. You should have saved a lot of money, right?"

"You are right, hero. But you get the big share, and we get the small share. I got more than three thousand taels of silver in total. If you are willing to let me live, I am willing to give you all!"

"Has anyone from the imperial court passed by recently, such as the West Factory or the East Factory?"

"no!"

"Are there two men who look short, one of whom uses a sword?"

The man chuckled and said, "Hero, you are talking about those two women dressed as men, one of whom is pregnant."

Hong Guan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ling Yanqiu's identity to be discovered so easily. "How did you figure it out?"

"Sir, I've been at this post station for five years, and I've seen all kinds of people. Not to mention two women dressed as men, even if they are people with criminal records, I can tell at a glance."

"When did they arrive and when did they leave?"

"I arrived yesterday at noon, had a meal and left."

Hong Guan nodded. It seemed that the people from the Western Factory should arrive in the next two days.

"Very good, you can go now!"

The man was delighted and nodded quickly, "Thank you, sir. I'll take my leave now."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Hong Guan drew out the Hundred Beasts Sword and pierced the man's chest with the sword. The man looked back in disbelief, and was dead.

Just as I was about to clean up the body, I suddenly heard a noisy sound outside and a large number of horses entered the post station.

But the five people at the post station all died in their rooms, and no one came to receive them. Hong Guan came to the door and looked outside. It was the people from the Western Factory who had arrived. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep well tonight.

When he got to Yue Lingshan, he took out some ice and put it on her face. Yue Lingshan woke up with a whimper. "Brother Guan, what's wrong?"

"You have been drugged by the incense. The postman at the post station drugged you. We can't stay here anymore. We have to leave immediately."

When Yue Lingshan saw the corpse on the ground, she was startled, then she relaxed a little while holding the jade sword.

When the two men came outside, they saw the guards from the Western Factory were looking for someone, and all the merchants in the post station were being watched.

As he was walking towards the barn, he was stopped by a voice, "Stop, who are you? Show your face."

Hong Guan turned around and saw that it was the same masked man from last time. He should be Ma Jinliang, the head of the Western Factory.

"Sir, we are wandering around and want to go to Longmen Inn. Please give us a favor!" As he said this, he took out fifty taels of silver ingot and handed it to Ma Jinliang.

Seeing Hong Guan approaching, Ma Jinliang took a step back and drew his sword. "Stop, pull down your face scarf, or you will die!"

Just as Hong Guan was about to take off his veil, a voice came from the second floor of the post station, "Sir, the postmen of the post station were killed. All five of them were killed with one sword!"

Knowing that he had to resort to force, he was just about to kill Ma Jinliang when a figure suddenly rushed out from the barn with a sword in hand and stabbed Ma Jinliang.

Ma Jinliang reacted quickly, drawing his sword to block, and said excitedly, "Zhao Huaian, you can't run away, surrender."

Hearing Ma Jinliang's shout, the factory beauty on the second floor pulled out the long knife from her subordinate, broke it into several pieces with a casual move, and shot it towards Zhao Huaian.

Zhao Huaian swung his sword to sweep away the fragments, then drew out another sword, and used both swords to fight the enemy, forcing Ma Jinliang to retreat. He took out a fire starter from his arms and threw it into the pile of hay.

He flew into the barn, cut the reins, and whipped the animals on the butt a few times. With the hay pile on fire, the animals immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

He also hid under the belly of a healthy horse, hoping to take advantage of the situation and escape.

The beauty from the factory upstairs tiptoed over and kicked the three horses three times in a row, cracking their skulls and killing them.

He unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, several secondary blades flew out from the long sword, spinning through the herd of horses and flying towards Zhao Huaian's hiding place.

Zhao Huaian could only lean forward, spin his sword, and swing away the secondary blade, but Hong Guan saw that a gap had already been created in Zhao Huaian's sword.

Damn, the factory beauty’s weapon is not inferior to my own Hundred Beasts Sword!

At this time, Zhao Huaian had already arrived outside the post station. He jumped on his horse, shouted "Gee!", and galloped away, disappearing into the night.

Just as Ma Jinliang was about to chase him out, he was stopped by the factory beauty. "Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Let someone put out the fire first. There might be someone else Zhao Huaian has done something behind him. And if Zhao Huaian ran away, wouldn't that leave two people behind?"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Hong Guan and Yue Lingshan. Hong Guan was a little confused. Was he the one who got implicated?

"Sir, if everything is alright, can we go now?"

The beauty smiled softly, "The famous blood swordsman Hong Guan, when he caused chaos in the capital last time, killed Cao Shaoqin and his capable men, allowing Wei Zhongxian to dominate the East Factory.

Rumor has it that even Zuo Lengchan is no match for you, I have long wanted to see for myself."

Damn it, I've wrapped it up like this, how did you recognize it? Hong Guan really didn't want to take action now. He always used force to subdue people, which was not a sense of accomplishment. He also wanted to be the mastermind behind the scenes!
