Outside the military camp, a luxurious carriage stopped, surrounded by twenty taciturn killers. When they saw Cheng Qiao appear, everyone immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
Cheng Qiao nodded slightly and got into the carriage. In the carriage, Jing Salamander handed him a cup of freshly brewed Snow Top Silver Shuttle.
The carriage started slowly,
Twenty snare killers got on their horses and guarded the carriage in the center. The charioteer drove the carriage to the south, then to the east, bypassing the Yangping line where the confrontation was taking place.
South of Daliang City, in a dense forest, Xuanjian moved quickly on the branches.
As light as a swallow,
As agile as a fox, he soon came to a small river in the forest.
Seeing the scene by the creek, Xuan Jian immediately sped up and landed neatly on the green grass beside the creek. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, with a hint of excitement on his cold and weathered face.
"Xuanjian pays homage to your Majesty!"
Cheng Qiao was sitting on a high chair with his legs crossed and fishing in the river with a fishing rod in his hand. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Xuan Jian and said with a smile: "Compared to before, my human touch is much stronger. It looks sweet." Love can really change a person..."
Hearing this, Xuan Jian felt a rare feeling of embarrassment in his heart, but he was also very moved. He did not expect that Cheng Qiao would say this at the meeting and had no intention of pursuing his guilt.
"Xuanjian failed to live up to your Majesty's expectations.
Return to work, Your Majesty is in charge,
You are indeed guilty, please punish me!"
"Do you really want to be punished?"
"Please punish me, your Majesty,
Otherwise, Xuan Jian will be really uneasy in his heart!" Xuan Jian was cruel, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice.
"In that case, fine."
"I'm not very lucky today. I haven't caught a single fish after fishing for so long. You go into the water and catch one for me."
"You are not allowed to use your strength, you can only catch it with your hands."
After hearing this, Xuanjian stood up without saying a word and jumped into the river. He dived into the river and began to compete with the nimble fish in the river, creating countless waves and splashes.
Although this small river is not deep, the depth is still about three meters. It is very difficult to dive into the water to catch fish like ordinary people without any strength.
Ordinary people have a lot of luck, and if they are not skilled enough, they may not be able to catch even half of a fish scale in a whole day. Although Xuanjian's skills are not comparable to ordinary people even if he does not use his strength, but if he wants to catch the nimble and fast fish in the water, It's not an easy task either.
Cheng Qiao casually threw the fishing rod to a trap killer next to him for safekeeping. He watched with interest as Xuan Jian dived in and out of the water, flopping around.
The Frightened Salamander and other snares are also very interested,
This scene is rare.
After struggling for half an hour, Xuan Jian finally caught a mountain grouper weighing about four ounces from the water. This fish resembles a loach and usually only weighs less than half a catty. Mountain grouper weighing four or two pounds is quite rare.
"Your Majesty."
Xuanjian, dripping with water, walked up to Cheng Qiao, restrained the slippery mountain fish with both hands, lowered his head, and presented it to him respectfully.
"Take it, Frightened Salamander, and we'll cook some grilled fish later."
Jing Salamander nodded with a smile, stretched out his slender green right hand, held it empty, and released a suction force. Xuan Jian felt the movement and let go of his hands. The mountain fish flew about one meter in the air and landed in Jing Salamander's hand. .
"Okay, that's it for you. Go and dry your clothes and body."
"I am not here just for you, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it."
The implication is that part of the reason is that in your matter, you are very familiar with the method of retreating to advance.
Xuanjian nodded and said nothing. He could only repay this kindness with his life-long service. He silently walked to the side and found a place to sit cross-legged. He started to dry his body and clothes by using the internal energy in his body.
"If the fish in the river don't give me face today, I won't give them face. I'll treat you to grilled fish today."
Cheng Qiao stretched out his right hand, blue and white lightning twined around him, and with a flick of his hand, a blue and white thunderball the size of a grapefruit flew out and landed on the edge of the lake. The overbearing power of thunder exploded instantly, and countless tiny lightning balls spread dozens of meters up and down the river. The electric arc danced, and soon dozens of fish of different sizes and species with white bellies turned over appeared on the river.
These fish were not directly electrocuted to death. Cheng Qiao acted very carefully, but they were all electrocuted.
Jing Salamander pursed her lips and smiled softly when she saw this. Sometimes Junshang is wise and steady, and sometimes he acts like a child who has not grown up. But maybe because of this, the shadow in her heart becomes deeper and deeper, right?
The snare killers around him didn't smile because they couldn't catch the point of laughter. They had cold faces, but they were still quite happy inside.
Such adults deserve their respect, love and loyalty.
The people present were not all wilderness survival experts, but they were all familiar with grilling fish and each had their own experience. Soon the rich aroma was wafting by the stream.
When Cheng Qiao didn't take action, the one with the best skills was Jing Salamander, which was about the same as Cheng Qiao.
The fish was caught by Chengqiao, so Chengqiao didn't grill it himself. He only ate ready-made fish. He was only surprised by the grilled fish. Without it, the taste was the most harmonious.
"How is your wife?"
At this time, there were only three people, Cheng Qiao, Jing Salamander and Xuan Jian, by the stream. The others were holding grilled fish in a circular shape to guard the surrounding area.
"The lower abdomen is already bulging."
"..."
"I didn't ask you this."
Cheng Qiao's face turned dark. Why was he asking about Wei Xianxian's pregnancy status? It wasn't his...
"She didn't know yet that Wei Yong threatened me with their mother and son, and I didn't tell her, so everything was fine."
"Well, this kind of thing is really cruel to a woman. Once I instigate Wei Yong, let her marry you quickly to save her and the child in her belly from being affected by Wei Yong and blinding the child. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"However, Wei Yong is a sinister, treacherous and extremely shameless person. We must be careful not to repeat him and not be too trusting."
Cheng Qiao nodded to express his understanding.
Although he would never give Wei Yong a chance to repeat, Xuan Jian had good intentions and did not side with his bastard father-in-law at all. He wholeheartedly considered for him, which is commendable.
After eating a meal of grilled fish, Cheng Qiao led the people out of the woods. When they arrived outside Daliang City, it was already dark, so he sneaked in under the cover of night.
The city wall of Daliang was built tall and majestic, but it could not stop the masters of martial arts flying over the walls as long as it used strength. Although the security was relatively tight during the war, after all, the troops had not yet reached the city. For the masters of martial arts, there were still many flaws.
After entering the city, Cheng Qiao went straight to Wei Yong's Da Sikong Mansion and came to Wei Yong's study. All the people around him were knocked unconscious by the Snare Killers led by Jing Ju.
After dinner, Wei Yong came to his study as usual. He saw that the study was completely dark and he was asked to turn on the lamp himself. He cursed in his heart and decided to relax his muscles and bones for the lazy servant after a while.
Puff puff……
Wei Yong was about to turn on the lamp. Suddenly, the lamps in the study were lit up one after another. From being unable to see his fingers out of his hand to being so bright that he couldn't breathe, Wei Yong was startled and thought it was haunted.
There are too many lamps in the study, and the lamp oil and candles consumed every day may be enough for ordinary people to live a comfortable life for half a month. This shows that Wei Yong, the great minister in charge of engineering construction, probably made a lot of money.
"Wei Yong, right? I've admired his name for a long time, and it's a surprise to finally meet him today."
Cheng Qiao sat casually on the silk-wrapped cushion, with a half-smile on his face, shaking the jade bottle in his hand, the clear and fragrant wine flowing with his sister, and his tone of voice was casual, like an old friend exchanging greetings.
Regarding the way he appeared, Cheng Qiao could only say that he was barely satisfied.
The only drawback is that there are no boss chairs, sunglasses, or cigars in this era.
Otherwise, from dark to light, the lights are dazzling, the chair is turned, the sunglasses are put on, the cigar is held in one's mouth, a glass of wine is held in the left hand and placed casually on the crossed legs, and the small smoke is puffed out, half covered by the smoke. Half-hiding your face feels overbearing.
For Wei Yong, there was only fright, no surprise!
"Come, come, come quickly, everyone is dead." Wei Yong's expression changed, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Stop yelling, country bumpkin. I already took care of your little brother while you were having dinner."
Cheng Qiao had a bad taste. He remembered a line and grinned. Unfortunately, his teeth were very white and his taste was not so pure.
