The blue-robed old man had a sickly and withered face. His eyes were long and narrow, and they were filled with a murderous intent. His eyebrows were sparse, and his mouth was like a thunder god. His back was slightly arched, and his two hands were particularly eye-catching. They were much longer than ordinary people and hung straight on both sides of his body. A pair of protruding ears were on both sides of his head. He looked like a big ape.

However, the ape would never put on such a graceful and wealthy posture. He was rubbing a pair of lion head jade walnuts on his hand, and on his wrist, which was as thin as a chicken claw, he was wearing a jade bracelet.

Jiang Yuntian was very puzzled because it was the first time in his life that he had seen a man wearing a bracelet on his wrist. Out of curiosity, he could not help but size up the blue-robed old man a few more times.

The blue-robed old man had just stepped out of the cabin when he saw the crowd on the shore. He probably didn't like being surrounded by people, so his expression was a little unhappy.

He frowned hard, but he seemed to be helpless. His lips opened and closed a few times, mumbling a few words, as if he was instructing the people around him. Before he could finish his words, a man in yellow clothes beside him turned around and ran to the back cabin. A moment later, he pulled out a date red horse from the cabin.

The yellow-robed man led the horse and walked quickly to the shore from the paved footboard. The thick wooden footboard began to shake up and down because of the movement of the horse and horse. The people watching by the shore let out a cry of surprise. The skinny old man in blue, however, followed the horse closely without fear and walked along the steps to the riverbank.

Under Jiang Yuntian's careful observation, he immediately noticed that the blue-robed old man's skills were extraordinary. As he walked, although he seemed to deliberately put on a very worried expression, his feet were actually unusually stable. No matter how hard the steps shook up and down, his feet were as steady as nails.

After the men and horses came ashore, the man in yellow immediately bowed deeply to the old man. He then took a few steps back and turned to leave. The old man in yellow waved his sleeves impatiently and mounted his horse.

The crowd in front of him made way for him. The blue-robed old man's face darkened as he shook the rope in his hand. The date red horse under him galloped away in an instant.

The yellow-robed man turned around and watched the yellow-robed old man leave. His originally tense and serious face relaxed again. He waved his two big hands and drove away the onlookers on the shore as if they were chasing chickens. When the onlookers were all gone, he coughed hard and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. Only then did he quickly walk back to the golden ship.

The thick wooden steps connecting the golden ship and the riverbank were then slowly pulled back into the cabin by the blue-clothed men who had carried it out. A moment later, everything on the golden ship returned to its original appearance.

Witnessing the scene at the ferry crossing, Jiang Yuntian suddenly thought of many things. However, he did not say these things to him. At the moment, it seemed that they had nothing to do with him.

As the saying goes,"If it's none of your business, hang it high."”Most people would adopt a leisurely attitude of watching from the sidelines when it came to matters that did not concern their personal interests. Jiang Yuntian was naturally no exception.

When he returned to the Four Seasons Fragrance Inn from the ferry, the sky was already completely dark. After settling down his beloved Dusk Stallion in the backyard, he went to the main hall of the restaurant in front to eat.

As soon as Jiang Yuntian entered the restaurant in front of him, he immediately noticed the four large green horses tied to the front of the restaurant. The color, condition, saddle, bridle, and buckle on the horses 'backs looked particularly familiar.

He then turned to look at the tables in the restaurant. His heart couldn't help but move again. There were already four customers sitting there. The appearance and clothing of these four guests immediately reminded Jiang Yuntian of the four men he saw by the stream last night.

Although it was night time and he couldn't see it clearly with the dim moonlight, he was sure that these four people must be one of the four groups of horses that followed the golden carriage last night after carefully observing the clothes, expressions, and styles of the four people who were eating in the shop, as well as the four horses tied outside the shop. He was very sure of this. As for the possibility of mistaking it, it was completely non-existent.

Shopkeeper Sha was fawning over the four people. The table where the four people were sitting was filled with dishes and a jar of Kaifeng wine.

As the saying went,"alcohol can mess up one's sex." This saying was really true. After drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, the four guys not far from Jiang Yuntian began to look arrogant. They did not have the cautious and rigid attitude that Jiang Yuntian had seen last night by the stream. They had become very unrestrained and unscrupulous.

It was dinnertime. Other than these four people, there were several other customers in the restaurant. They were probably intimidated by the four people in front of them, so they sat far away from them.

There was only one room in the main hall of the restaurant, so there weren't many seats available. The arrogant appearance of the four people made other customers stay away from them. As a result, there were even fewer seats. Jiang Yuntian came late, so the seats far away from the four people were already full. He really couldn't find a seat, so he could only sit in a seat very close to the four people.

The four of them talked loudly without any scruples. Their hands were not idle either. They kept picking up food and drinking. Everyone drank until they were dry. Their faces were as if no one was around. Jiang Yuntian's arrival did not attract their attention at all.

They didn't seem to be worried that Jiang Yuntian, who was beside them, would hear what they said. Therefore, Jiang Yuntian didn't need to deliberately listen. He could naturally hear every word they said.

A yellow-faced man with rosacea spoke the loudest and looked the most arrogant. At this moment, he first ate a piece of beef in big mouthfuls, then drank two glasses of wine in a row. Then, he let out a big breath of hot air and said in a very strong Hexi accent,"The Sect Master is eating meat, and our subordinates are just eating some soup. There's an old saying that goes,'Baldy follows the moon and basks in the light'!”

As soon as he spoke, he raised his thick neck and couldn't help but laugh.

A red-faced man opposite him agreed with what he said. While chewing the food in his mouth, he nodded repeatedly and let out a "hmm" sound from his nose from time to time.

"In my opinion, this should be called luck!”" Of course not," the red-faced man said slowly." Who among us could tell that such a tall and thin old man was actually the 'old gold digger' who lived in Guanzhong for a long time and was famous in the northwest? With the death of this old man, the two gold mines in the west of the river will all fall into the hands of our sect master. It was said that the two mines under the old gold digger could produce a large amount of gold in a year! Such an indescribable amount of wealth has now fallen into the hands of our sect leader. Shouldn't we say that our sect leader is lucky?”

Another shorter man said angrily,"This gold-digger's ability is really amazing! This time, if it wasn't for our Sect Master personally dealing with him, if it was anyone else, they really wouldn't be a match for that old fellow!”

The yellow-faced man with the rosacea said loudly," Of course. If he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today."”

"I heard that this old fellow made a fortune a few years ago!" the red-faced man added.”

" I heard…" The shorter man leaned forward and covered half of his mouth with one hand."I heard that our Gang Leader was forced out of the Northwest region by this old man in his early years. He even suffered some hardships at the hands of this old man, so this time, our Gang Leader is determined to win back his face.”

"Not only do you want to win back your face?”The yellow-faced man laughed loudly,"This time, not only did our Sect Master get back his face, but he also took the other party's life."”

The shorter man seemed to be more conservative and pessimistic, not as confident and optimistic as the other three.

" But let's get back to the point." He raised his thick and short eyebrows, paused, and continued," I don't know if you guys can see it? Ever since our Sect Master came back from the Moon Bridge that day, he never got off that golden carriage.”

The name of Moon Bridge sounded familiar. Jiang Yuntian's heart skipped a beat. He quickly put down his chopsticks and listened attentively.
