Due to Kise's injury, the two stayed in the village overnight.

This morning, the two changed back into their clean clothes. They bought the only two horses in the village with silver tickets, and then headed straight to a place.

After the rain, the suburbs are really refreshing. Walking through the woods, you can smell the fresh fragrance of grass and trees in your nose, and the crisp birdsong in your ears. The faint mist surrounds the two of you, which makes you feel happy immediately.

Passing through the woods and stopping at the entrance of the canyon, the two looked dignified.

This canyon is located at the bottom of the plain, so it is not steep. The sides are covered with lush green grass, but it looks very distinctive.

This road was pointed out by the old lady, who said that this road was a shortcut to Anlin, and it would take a day to reach Anlin, but the old lady did not agree with the two going in this direction. Because there are bandits in Naping Canyon, merchants and bodyguards passing by never return, this shortcut is gradually desolate.

The place in front of Vulcan's eyes is Ping Canyon.

Huang Lai came to Vulcan's side and said, "There is indeed something strange in this valley."

Vulcan secretly suppressed the restlessness of the horse under him, and he looked up at the quiet side of the canyon.

"There is no turning back. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll delay the business."

As soon as the words fell, he tightened the reins and rushed in, followed by Huang Lai.

There was a commotion in the valley, and the clanging of horseshoes was particularly ear-piercing.

Into the depths, still calm and peaceful.

At this moment, a swift and sharp arrow pierced through the wind, sticking straight in front of them, blocking their way.

The two looked around vigilantly, and saw about [-] bandits with bows and arrows appearing on both sides.

The leader pointed at the two with a big knife in his hand, with an arrogant and rough tone.

"Why are the two masters in a hurry, how about going to our village with all the brothers as guests?"

After speaking, he laughed loudly, and many people also booed.

Huang Lai whispered: "It seems that we still have to delay for some time."

The two got off their horses. Seeing that they had no intention of resisting, the wave of people surrounded them and took them up the slope.

There were dozens of horses standing on the slope, and after those people got on their horses, they ordered the two Vulcans to follow, and then they left in the wind.

Crossing the plain and crossing the pool, the two were led to the gate of a village.

The word "Dutianzhai" on the archway is very eye-catching.

The stone wall is not only tall and generous, but also neat and rigorous, giving people a feeling of loneliness and atmosphere.

The leader commanded the people on the watchtower to open the door, and after a while, the door opened slowly.

The two Vulcans looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that if they entered the village, it was obviously not easy to escape.

Huang Lai approached the leader, who immediately became vigilant.

Huang Lai took out thousands of taels of silver bills from his wide sleeves, and said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to be on guard, the two of us came out in a hurry today and didn't bring a generous gift, and there is only a small gift left on us, please let us go home. How about I make it up later?"

The leader took the money and put it in his arms. Seeing his modest and polite attitude, his expression softened a lot.

He said: "We can't help but have the final say on this matter. To be honest, we only listened to the order two days ago and waited in the Ping Canyon. The Royal Tiger Hall has declined, and the whereabouts of the hall master is unknown. A few days ago, someone released news that Seeing Vulcan appearing and disappearing, the head of the family ordered all the brothers to wait at various intersections." He looked at Vulcan and said suspiciously: "I saw that he looks a bit like the rumors, so I asked the head of the house to take a look, so we can have an explanation. , if I find the wrong person, I will let you go."

Vulcan frowned. He had many enemies. If he fell into one of them, there would be no way out. He didn't expect that he would become a prisoner so quickly.

Huang Lai stepped forward to block the man's gaze, and said: "He and I are cousins, and I don't know any Vulcans. Now that I have something urgent to do, you really can't let us pass?!"

"It's all here, how can we take the words of our family as a deaf ear."

Seeing his strong tone, Vulcan said: "In that case, why not let me go in with you, then let him go."

Huang Lai stepped forward to stand side by side with Vulcan, he covered Vulcan's hand holding the rein tightly, and said, "It's okay, let's go in together, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late."

Huang Lai made up his mind to go, Vulcan didn't say anything else, and followed the leader into the village.

There were quite a lot of bandits in that village, but they were orderly, not as vicious as the mob, but occasionally a few unlucky businessmen were pushed and pushed to a certain place.

The two Vulcans got off their horses, and the leader grabbed a passing man and asked, "Is the head of the house in the lobby?!"

"No, go out."

The man answered carefully, but it could be seen that the leader still had some status in the village.

The leader turned his eyes back to the two Vulcans: "The head of the family is not here, so we have to wait." He ordered the people behind, "Take them down, and make plans after I report to the head of the family."

After the leader left, the few remaining people led the Vulcans to the depths of the village. After passing by a few room-type tents, the buildings inside were full of green bricks and green tiles, like a country.

The grandeur of this "Dutian Village" is actually hidden in the high walls.
