There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, making traveling difficult.

A group of people walked silently in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. One of them shook off the mud stuck to his boots and said, "Are you still not connected to the clue?"

"Although the heavy rain has cut off the clues, his direction is already clear, which is heading south, towards Yunzhou. He has sent people to Huaiyang City to inform him first. By then, a large net will be launched, and we will definitely be able to catch him. Find this crazy tiger who has escaped from the cage!"

The person walking at the front responded.

Not long after, a group of more than ten people came out of the forest and lit torches. One of them, a thin middle-aged man, jumped onto a boulder in front of him. He looked forward with his eyes and suddenly his eyes flashed. shrink.

"There is a cave far ahead! There are signs of someone's activity!"

When everyone behind him heard this, his faces were filled with joy.

"Picked up?"

"It's hard to say. It might be a hunter in the mountains. You have to distinguish carefully, otherwise you will be easily misled!"

Everyone quickened their pace and soon saw a cave half covered by vines.

The skinny middle-aged man drew the knife in his hand and glanced at the people around him. Everyone nodded and dispersed around the cave entrance, and the middle-aged man entered the cave with the knife.

After entering, he saw a bonfire that had been burned to ashes and blood stains that had dried up and turned brown on the surrounding ground.

"There's no one inside. Come in, Old Liu, and be careful of the footprints at the door!"

After Lao Liu came in, he glanced at the ashes, then walked to the blood stain, grabbed a handful of soil on the blood stain, rubbed it a few times in his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it.

Then he squatted on the ground and used his hands to measure a shallow sunken ground.

"Found it, it's either Orion or that person. He was sitting here before!"

"Okay, chase!"

Huaiyang City.

Guan Hai and Old Man Sun were sitting in the house drinking tea.

At this time, Old Man Sun had changed into a brand new navy blue robe, and there was still some tiredness on his body. He was drinking hot tea while listening to Guan Hai's words.

"Brother, how has my son behaved along the way? Is it safe to leave the caravan to him?"

After Guan Hai finished speaking, he looked at Old Man Sun slightly nervously, and saw Old Man Sun shaking his head slightly.

When he saw this, a look of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh.

"It's useless, it's useless!"

"Lao Guan, your son."

"Brother, it's okay. There's no need to say anything. I trust my brother's vision. Since I say no, then yes."

"When did I say no?"

"Huh? Brother, what do you mean?"

"This boy Yueshan is completely capable of taking over the caravan, but if he does take over, it will only delay the child! Lao Guan, over the years, you have saved some money in your family. You will keep one third of it and the rest. Find a way out of Mr. Wang and put the child into the Qixuan Sect!"

Qixuan Sect is located in Yanzhou in the central part of the country. It is one of the few major sects in the world that can knock on the mountain door with money.

Of course, this is not something that can only be achieved with money. Networking, age and qualifications are also important.

Guan Hai has been running a caravan for half his life, and he has found many connections. Guan Yueshan was able to practice to the visceral training stage at the age of twenty. Although it was indispensable for his father's supervision and training since childhood, his own martial arts qualifications are not bad.

The reason why Guan Hai didn't put Guan Yueshan in before was not because he felt sorry for Yinzi, but because he came in through the Qixuan Sect's secret method, that is, he was an outer disciple.

If you cannot be promoted to the inner sect within a year, you will be expelled from the mountain, and even your status as an outer sect disciple of the Qixuan Sect will be taken away.

It is very difficult for an outer sect to be promoted to an inner sect. Most people spend a lot of money and go through the door. After entering, they only stay for a year and then get discouraged.

If it was really a wealthy family, it would be okay to give it a try, but for Guan Hai, it was two-thirds of his net worth.

Instead of gambling on this, it would be safer and more cost-effective to keep the money and exchange it for martial arts training resources.

But now, Old Man Sun has decided to let Guan Hai take the gamble.

"Brother Sun, although our Yunzhou is stronger than Qingzhou, it is still one of the three states in the North and is far richer than the upper, central and southern regions. We, a small family in a remote place, have to compete with those powerful people in the central region. , can you fight?"

Old friend Sun sighed after hearing this. Compared to him, Guan Hai's warrior edge was weaker.

This is also related to the different division of labor between the two. Guan Hai is in charge of Huaiyang City. In the city, he is responsible for managing relationships and doing small things. Over time, even his sharp edges have been polished away.

Old Man Sun was leading the team outside. Although he had connections, he often saw blood when he went under the knife. In comparison, he was stronger.

"Lao Guan, didn't you tell me before that you believe in my vision? This child Yueshan has a hidden edge, and his spirit and character are higher than ordinary people. At critical moments, he can perform heroic deeds that are not comparable to those of ordinary people. Give the child a chance. !”

When Guan Hai heard this, he immediately realized that this caravan's trip to Qingzhou was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"Brother, what exactly happened on the road this time? You have issued a hush order, right? Why can't even I know?"

"Yeah, tell me what happened on the way. I'm very interested in knowing!"

The closed wooden door was suddenly opened by a strong wind, and a slightly joking voice came from outside the door.

Old Man Sun and Guan Hai immediately changed their expressions. With a cry, they stood up from their seats and looked out the door.

Then I saw a middle-aged man wearing a sky blue luxurious silk robe walking in from the door with a smile.

Guan Hai immediately stepped forward and saluted, "It's Mr. Zhao who has come to the humble residence. Guan Hai has come to welcome you from afar. Please take a seat!"

Manager Zhao casually cupped his hands and said, "President Guan, there is no need to be polite. Zhao came here uninvited and apologized!"

"Where, where!" Guan Hai quickly apologized.

After speaking, Manager Zhao went straight to Old Man Sun and stood in front of him.

Old Man Sun raised his hand and said, "Manager Zhao!"

"Well, you heard what I just said, tell me!"

"Manager Zhao, what do you want me to say?"

When Manager Zhao heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed. Just when he was about to make a move, Guan Hai suddenly intervened.

"Mr. Zhao, please come and have a cup of tea first. If you want to ask something, sit down and speak slowly. Just speak slowly!"

"Hahaha!" Manager Zhao laughed, and then his smile turned cold instantly, "For the sake of past money, I will give you a face today. Speak slowly!"

After saying that, Manager Zhao sat on the main seat and looked at Old Man Sun indifferently.

Guan Hai also kept signaling to Old Man Sun with his eyes.

Old Man Sun sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, if you have even the slightest connection with that kind of people, trouble will come to your door immediately!"
