Chapter 3 Masked Man

Hu Yimeng left the Golden Wheel Temple with the little fox and Kong Long with the little fox in his arms. After going down the mountain, the group bought a carriage and headed for Kaiyang City.

Kaiyang City is one of the seven big cities in the Dayu Kingdom, located between Yaoguang City and Tianquan City. Although it is not the most prosperous city in the Dayu Kingdom, there have been many rangers here since ancient times. People in the city are martial arts. Many sects in the Dayu Kingdom have manors here and recruit disciples. And the Thunder Village of Brother Xingyan, whom Hu Yimeng and his party are going to this time, is one of them.

At this time, it was nearly half a month before the hero meeting on the hero post issued by Su Muyun, the owner of the Thunder Village, and Lingshan was not far from Kaiyang City, so the group chose to take a carriage, ride the good spring light, look at the scenery all the way, and slowly marched towards Kaiyang City.

At noon, the carriage drove to a tea pavilion next to the official road. Kong Long ordered the driver to stop and several people got out of the car together.

"Let's go to the tea pavilion to rest, eat something, drink some tea before going on the road." Kong Long suggested it.

"Well, that's what I mean." Hu Yimeng nodded. Xingyan, give the driver some broken silver and let him have a rest with some meals by himself.

Hearing this, Xingyan nodded and said hello to Hu Yimeng. She walked to the driver, took out some broken silver from her purse and said to the middle-aged driver they hired to drive: "Brother, my lady asked me to give you some broken money. Today you have worked hard to drive the car. Now it's noon. Brother driver, please use some tea and meals by yourself and have a rest.

"Thank you, Miss, the prince and the two girls." The driver took the silver, bowed to Hu Yimeng and others, and went to eat by himself.

Hu Yimeng and Kong Long also walked into the tea pavilion, picked up an empty table and sat down.

"Xiao Er, come to the pot of tea!" Hu Yimeng said.

"Miss, here we are!" Xiao Er came over with a pot of tea with a smile on his face and filled the water in Hu Yimeng, Kong Long, pheasant and Xingyan's cups.

"Some tea, miss, prince, what else do you want to order?" Xiao Er asked attentively.

"Little brother, what kind of food do you have here?" Kong Long asked.

"This gentleman, there are steamed buns, steamed buns and soup noodles in our shop. I don't know what you want to eat?"

"Two cages of steamed buns." Kong Long said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the steamed buns will come soon!" Xiao Er smiled and turned to bring steamed buns for Hu Yimeng and his party.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the steamed bun. Hu Yimeng handed a steamed bun to the little fox in his arms, and then picked up another one. As soon as he took a bite, he saw a large group of people galloping from the official road.

There are about 20 people in this industry. Everyone is dressed in black, ** horses are strong, and the horses' hoofs set off a burst of smoke and dust. All the pedestrians and horses on the official road hurriedly avoided them from afar. Among this group of knights, the leading knight wore a black mask on his face, covering most of his face, only his tight thin lips and resolute jaw. He could not see his age, and his dark eyes were like a cold pool, and his whole body was murderous.

As soon as he rushed to the tea pavilion, the leading knight raised his hand slightly. When the other knights saw the order, they immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse. The leading knight also stopped his horse and followed him. The knight closest to him quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what can I do for you?"

"You go to the tea booth in front of you and ask if you have seen the people we were chasing just now." A low voice sounded. There was a deep chill in the eyes of the man wearing a mask.

"Yes, I'm going to ask."

Hu Yimeng, who sat with her back to the man, heard the man's voice and suddenly trembled all over. This sound... This sound is clearly... that is...

She dared not look back, afraid that if she really saw that man, wouldn't her escape these three years be in vain?

Hu Yimeng stiffened his back and dared not move.

Zhier and Xingyan did not find anything strange at all. Instead, Kong Long, who was sitting opposite Hu Yimeng, showed a little surprise after seeing the man.

"Xiao Er!" The knight in black, who got off the horse to inquire about the news, asked the shop Xiao Er with a blank face, "Just now, a seriously injured man passed by here?"

Facing the murderous knight in black, the shop Xiaoer's legs trembled with fear. He said to the knight in black tremblingly, "Master, today I haven't seen the injured person pass by here."

"Is this true?" The knight in black asked again in a low voice.

Xiao Er was so scared that he knelt on the ground and explained to the knight in black that he really didn't see such a person pass by here.

The Knight in Black looked at Xiao Er, who was kneeling on the ground, turned around, walked to the masked man with a blank face, and told the masked man what Xiao Er said.

The man thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Keep chasing!"

"Yes!" The knights in black took orders in unison.

More than 20 horses went away from here and soon disappeared from the official road.

After the knights in black left, Hu Yimeng was relieved.

"Little Dream? Are you afraid of those knights in black just now? Kong Long asked Hu Yimeng with great interest.

"I... I'm not afraid!" Hu Yimeng said bravely.

"Xiao Menger, are you afraid of the leading masked man?" Kong Long came forward and carefully observed the expression on Hu Yimeng's face.

"So possible!" Hu Yimeng opened his face and suppressed the panic in his heart.

"Doesn't Mr. Kong know the identity of those people?" Xingyan blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"Ha ha, Xingyan is still smart. I am powerful, and naturally I know the identity of those people in black." Kong Long opened the folding fan, fanned it again and again, and said slowly.

"Kongzi, talk about it quickly. Those people are so arrogant and ruthless that they are not good at first glance, but who are they?" The pheasant also aroused curiosity, and she and Xingyan asked around Kong Long.

Kong Long picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said, "These people are the most mysterious and powerful underground secret organization in the world, the Jitian Palace, and the leader may be the owner of the legendary Jitian Palace!"

"Wow! What a mysterious feeling, but Mr. Kong, how do you know the identity of these people? The pheasant's eyes widened, her cheeks were red, and her red mouth kept asking.

"Dark horses in black look cold and murderous. Such a temperament is not available to ordinary sects in the world, and have you just noticed their saddle? There is a small six-pointed star mark on it, which is the mark of the Polar Palace!" Kong Long said.
