Chapter 18: Falling Grass for the Claw

Chen Rufeng did not expect that he would only get such a huge reward with a righteous heart.

With a little publicity from Xie Wencheng, Tianfeng's new business has spread all over the streets and alleys, and it has become known to the whole city in less than a few days.

Naturally, the Tianfeng Gang has also become a surge of people from the gate, and the number of people coming up the mountain to ask is increasing day by day. But most people are just curious about this new business and come to find out. Few people really want to hire them as guards.

However, after Chen Rufeng personally went out several times, he successfully completed several escort tasks, won the praise of the customers, and won a good reputation for the Tianfeng Gang. For a while, many rich businessmen also came to them and hired them to escort people or goods at high prices, so that their manpower immediately dealt with it. If you don't come, you have to choose some guests who are willing to pay a high price, and the rest will have to be smart.

Half a month later, the warehouse of Tianfeng Gang has also increased a lot.

On this day, when the sun was shining again, Chen Rufeng stepped in the front, leading his head forward, and his eyes swept around vigilantly. Behind him, he followed the three Tianfeng Gang's gangs, holding broad swords and long swords, and protecting them next to a sedan chair in a triangle. Today, their task is to escort this rich businessman from other places to Chang'an. Except for four sedan chairmen, the rich businessman has hardly brought any attendants, which looks very thin. Compared with the rich businessmen Chen Rufeng saw before, this rich businessman with great momentum like an emperor's patrol, this rich businessman is a little strange. .

However, this rich businessman naturally knows that carrying so many people with him will attract people and may cause disaster. As the saying goes, "money should not show your eyes" is the truth. He has always been low-key and cautious, otherwise he is unlikely to keep his wealth to this day.

The way they take is a flat forest road outside Chang'an City, surrounded by grass, and there is a large lake with crystal light on the right. The trunks are not thick or thin, and the branches and leaves have drawn new buds. There are more fragmentary flowers drilling out of the soil. Spring is full of scenery, which makes Chen Rufeng unconsciously fall. Be alert and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

He has walked this road several times before, and Chen Rufeng has also known it well. He is confident that there will be no robbers and mountain thieves. After all, the tree trunks here are relatively sparse. It is said that no one will find him unless the other party has the illusory skills like him and knows how to hide.

Chen Rufeng was extremely leisurely. He picked up a branch and shook it proudly, just like when he was a child, he fantasized about commanding thousands of troops and horses, humming the tune in his mouth, with one hand on his waist, and was in high spirits.

On the contrary, the sedan chair man carrying a sedan chair behind him, sweated profusely. Looking at Chen Rufeng's appearance, there was a burst of jealousy and hatred, but he could only swallow his anger. He was a guard specially invited by the master, and he was a group of masters. His identity was higher than himself, and he could not compare with him.

As for the three Tianfeng gangs who protected the sedan chair, they looked awe-inspily, as if facing the enemy and did not lose their guard style, but this was not what they wanted. Chen Rufeng asked them to have a reliable and serious face since they could come out to protect others, so they could only squeeze out such a tired face. The skin came out. Those who follow the left and right guardians or the elders go out to carry out escort tasks are good. They don't need to ask so much, and they finished the journey and got the silver.

However, the escort charged by this master received more money than the two guardians and elders, which forced them to be convinced. The principle of getting what you pay for is also deeply engraved in their hearts.

Chen Rufeng walked carelessly while guessing the way to Chang'an. This is from Tianfengbang to greet guests, escorting Chang'an, and then returning to Tianfengbang. I'm afraid it will be sunset.

He looked back at the sedan chair and asked in a respectful voice, "Master Fang, do you need to rest for a while before going on the road?"

As soon as Chen Rufeng said this, the sedan chairmen naturally cheered, but the people in the sedan chair echoed, "How long will it take for us to get to the capital?"

"I'll be there in half an hour." Chen Rufeng replied without thinking.

"Then let's go as soon as possible." As soon as the people in the sedan chair said this, they immediately made the sedan chairmen look down. Chen Rufeng secretly thought that this master was really patient. Which of the noble merchants he escorted before shouted that his buttocks were sore after sitting in the sedan chair for a while and had to stop and rest for a while before they were willing to go on the road, but it was difficult for those sedan chairmen.

Chen Rufeng did not dare to disobey the wishes of customers and quickly continued to move forward.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from the distance, but he couldn't avoid Chen Rufeng's spiritual ears. Suddenly, Chen Rufeng, who had something wrong, immediately raised his hand and motioned the whole team to stop. The leisurely expression on his face immediately rubbed into a guard, extremely solemn.

"What's wrong?" The master in the sedan chair did not make a fuss, but his tone was calm. After all, he was used to the storm and knew that something big was happening, so he stopped.

Chen Rufeng shouted, "There is an enemy coming!"

The three Tianfeng gangs immediately picked up their weapons and were even more close to the sedan chair.

Under the superb ear power, Chen Rufeng also knew that the person came from the four bread clip. According to his footsteps, he could tell that there were 40 or 50 people. No matter which direction he fled, he could not get out of this encirclement.

Soon, the sound of shouting to kill fell like rolling thunder, and the tide surged in all directions. Masked bandits held long sticks and knives and attacked them without saying a word.

Chen Rufeng's mind moved and his body swirled in mid-air. Unexpectedly, two Chen Rufeng separated from him and stood on both sides like a phantom falling off, while his own body stood in the air. The two false shadows stood like stone statues. For a moment, three Chen Rufeng formed a line of defense at the same time, protecting the whole branch. Team.

"This..." Those aggressive bandits were stunned, and three identical people appeared in front of them. Is the other party a Daluo immortal who knows the art of separation?

Even those sedan chairers and Tianfeng gangsters were stunned for a moment.

This is just Chen Rufeng's trick to confuse the enemy. With his current ability, he can only create false illusions in the third level of realm of illusory work. Unlike Chaoge, which turns virtual into reality, those illusions are all offensive. Chen Rufeng received a miraculous effect as expected, and more than half of the momentum of the bandits disappeared. He looked at people like three ghosts in a daze, and no one dared to take action first.

This suddenly let Chen Rufeng take the lead. Chen Rufeng's hands are condensed, the true air surges in the meridians, and there is green gas in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, their palms clapped together, and with a crack, circles of green air waves spread rapidly out, with strong and real strength like diamond guards hitting in all directions. The surrounded the bandits howled to the ground one after another, one next to the other, and the thieves in front of them were all injured almost instantly.

When they stood up again, the two figures of Chen Rufeng, who had originally stood on the ground, had disappeared like a fog. Only Chen Rufeng stood with his arms in his arms. The thieves were already murderous, and they retreated a few steps for fear of shocking this master who was far more powerful than himself again. Next time he I'm afraid it's not just a slight injury to the heart and chest.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way! Stop it!" Chen Rufeng's familiar voice came, and a strong man pushed away the timid mountain thieves. He was also accompanied by a person who looked slightly thinner than him, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Chen Rufeng recognized them at a glance. It was on the same day that he met them on Funiu Mountain. Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing...

"Third brother, fourth brother?" Chen Rufeng couldn't help restraining his energy and walked over.

Everyone is also suspicious. It seems that the three of them have already known each other. However, one is the leader of the Tianfeng Gang, how can he get to know these bandits in the forest? It seems that this master is really not simple, and the three Tianfeng gangs thought so in their hearts.

"Big brother!" The two burst into tears for a moment. If it hadn't been for the eyes of many people looking at them, I'm afraid they would have knelt down.

"Aren't you on Funiu Mountain? Why did you come to Chang'an to be a thief? Chen Rufeng held their hands. It seems that the two of them don't know what injustice they have suffered and have nowhere to say. Now as soon as they see Chen Rufeng, they are like seeing a clear spring in the drought desert and fall down.

In fact, Chen Rufeng was also uncomfortable to see them in this situation. On that day, he also thought about whether to invite them at the Jianbang ceremony. After all, they were thieves in the mountains. If they arrived, I was afraid that they would damage the image of the Tianfeng Gang and gave up this idea.

"We are suffering! Less than a month after you left, Henglei Village once again led the crowd to capture our fierce tiger village and take away our cottage. Some brothers also defected to them. We had to lead the remaining brothers to leave Funiu Mountain and were forced to fall into the grass. Now... I really don't know what to do now!" Speaking of this, Guo Tongwu, a man, has burst into tears and is heartbroken.

Fu Yuanjing also choked and said, "Brother, you really don't know anything. These days, our fierce tiger village has been wandering up and down, and we have no fixed place. In the end, there was nothing I could do... before I returned to being a thief! Just now, we couldn't see you clearly for a while, and we saw that you didn't have much... so we had a good heart. I hope you can forgive me!"

After listening to their words, Chen Rufeng's heart was sad. The people in the fierce tiger village had already lowered their heads and looked at their ragged clothes, and their faces were also dark and miserable. Chen Rufeng couldn't help thinking of his former self. Didn't he ever try such a miserable situation? He has a deep understanding of the days of displacement and hunger. Naturally, he empathizes with these fallen people in the Tiger Village, and for a moment, he can't bear to send them to the government for investigation. After all, he was friendly to him in the Tiger Village.

At this moment, the Fang Ye in the sedan chair finally lifted the curtain and slowly walked out of the sedan chair. As soon as I saw this merchant, I felt that his temperament was extraordinary, unlike other businessmen with a funny belly, a fleshy face and an arrogant appearance. There is a burst of decisiveness and shrewdness on Mr. Fang's face, his face is sharp, and his eyes are full of brilliance.

"Master Fang." Chen Rufeng held his fist and showed a suspicious look on his face. He didn't know how to explain his relationship with these "thieves" for a moment. In case he insisted on handing over them to the government, he could not stop it unreasonedly. At this moment, it depends on whether Master Fang was willing to show mercy.

Master Fang glanced at the faces of Guo Tongwu, Fu Yuanjing and others, as if he had seen through a book, but his face was unpredictable. Chen Rufeng had to stand aside silently. After all, Master Fang was his customer, and these bandits had to be handed over to him.
