While walking on the way to Yue Jian's residence, Chu Qingxiao suddenly sneezed.
Fang Xuer on the side was startled by him and stared at him with wide eyes: "Brother Qingxiao, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chu Qingxiao rubbed his nose and said: "Fortunately, maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday and caught the wind and cold, but it's nothing serious."
Chu Qingxiao responded like this, and murmured in his heart, thinking that he had now entered the second realm. Warriors in this realm, unless they suffered some hidden injuries that were difficult to heal, or were old and weak, would not be susceptible to common diseases.
This sudden sneeze was a bit strange.
However, he didn't think too much and followed Fang Xuer to the courtyard gate of Yue Jian's house.
"Aren't you going in together?" Chu Qingxiao stood in front of the door and asked Fang Xuer as he waved goodbye.
Fang Xuer shook her head, yawned and said, "It looks scary when you guys are beating me back and forth. I have been busy today helping the witch clean up the bugs in her house, so I will go back to sleep first."
After saying this, Fang Xuer jumped away and left.
Chu Qingxiao looked at the girl who always smiled at others, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile.
Without thinking too much, he reached out and pushed open the door.
He has been to this courtyard many times and is quite familiar with its layout.
Every time he arrived at the time agreed upon with Yue Jian, the girl had probably prepared everything and was waiting for him in the courtyard.
Sometimes he would even make a few jokes about how he disliked Chu Qingxiao for coming late.
But today, despite Fang Xuer's urging, Yue Jian was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.
"Miss Yue Jian?" Chu Qingxiao was a little strange. He walked into the courtyard and called into the house.
"Come in." A dull male voice came from the house.
It’s Huang Quxiang!
What is he doing here?
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard the sound, and felt a little confused.
Although he didn't think Huang Quxiang was really as ruthless as he appeared, it was not an easy thing to get along with such a boring gourd.
Unless absolutely necessary, Chu Qingxiao would not be willing to meet him.
Although he was thinking this, Chu Qingxiao still stepped into the main room following the direction of the sound.
…
But when he walked into the main room, the scene inside made him stunned.
In the main room, not only Huang Quxiang was present.
Pang Pangzhuang and Guan Zijin were also sitting in the room. Together with Yue Jian on the main seat, the four of them frowned and looked thoughtful.
Chu Qingxiao also felt the solemn atmosphere permeating the room at this moment. He asked strangely: "What's going on, everyone?"
After hearing this, everyone present looked at each other. After a while, Huang Quxiang gave Panda Zhuang a murderous look.
Yue Jian also raised his eyebrows, and Guan Zijin, who was next to Pang Zhuang, stretched out his foot and kicked him hard, knocking him in front of Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao was a little confused by everyone's behavior. He looked at the man standing in front of him, smiling awkwardly at him, and asked again: "Brother Pang Da, do you have anything to say to me?"
Hearing these words, Da Da Zhuang hesitated slightly, and the next moment he knelt down with a plop.
He held Chu Qingxiao's hand and spoke with tears in his eyes.
"Brother Chu!"
"This time! You have to save us no matter what!"
"I have a wife and children at home, as well as seven chickens and two dogs waiting for me to raise!"
"I can't let anything happen!"
Chu Qingxiao was frightened by this movement for a while before he came back to his senses. He looked at the sad man in front of him with confusion and asked.
"Brother Pang Pang, don't be like this. If you have anything to say, please tell me. You all treat me well. If I can help, I will naturally..."
"It's just that Brother Pangda is not a well-known old bachelor in Goshawk Village..."
…
Horses galloping through the mountains and forests.
Chu Qingxiao, who was sitting on the war horse, tightly hugged the petite girl in front of him with both hands.
A faint fragrance drifted into Chu Qingxiao's nose along the girl's raised hair.
Logically speaking, this should be a very beautiful thing, but Chu Qingxiao had no intention of enjoying it at all.
His face was pale and his lips were trembling a little.
"Slower……"
"Miss Yue Jian...slow down..." he said.
Hearing this, the girl in front of him looked back, the corner of her mouth raised, revealing a tiger tooth.
"You really can't ride a horse?"
"Of course, what can I do to deceive a girl about this kind of thing!" Chu Qingxiao responded after hearing this.
The mountain wind was very strong, and the horse was moving very fast. Waves of cold air poured into Chu Qingxiao's mouth at the stall where he was talking. Coupled with the bumps on the mountain road, Chu Qingxiao's face became paler and his stomach became turbulent.
There was a hint of cunning in the girl's eyes, and she said with a smile: "I thought Brother Qingxiao wanted to ride with me, so he lied."
Chu Qingxiao was stunned and didn't know how to respond to the girl's teasing.
But Yue Jian didn't seem to intend to let Chu Qingxiao go. He then added: "I heard from Lao Huang that Brother Qingxiao faced more than fifty masters from Guiya Village yesterday.
Asuras in the human world, kill them till they leave no trace of their armor."
"I wonder how someone as powerful as Brother Qingxiao, who doesn't know how to ride a horse, thinks you want to get close to me."
Fifty masters of Ghost Crow Village...
Does this Huang Quxiang speak so exaggeratedly?
Chu Qingxiao felt strange in his heart, but these thoughts together happened to meet the girl's eyes with a teasing smile as she turned her head.
He immediately understood that this girl was teasing him. With Huang Quxiang's temperament, he would not be able to see such a joke.
He looked a little embarrassed, unable to withstand the girl's teasing, so he simply changed the subject and said: "It's just a trip down the mountain, it's not a big deal. Why does Brother Pangda look like he's facing a formidable enemy?"
Thinking of what happened in the Moon View House just now, Chu Qingxiao's face couldn't help but look a little strange.
Pang Pangzhuang made such a fuss as soon as they met. Chu Qingxiao thought that something fatal had happened, but when he finally inquired, he found out that he wanted Chu Qingxiao to accompany Yue Jian for a walk down the mountain.
They have a very special piece of goods in their hands, which is valuable, but they have never dared to take action because the origin is unknown.
Today, Yue Jian and Huang Quxiang, who originally planned to conquer the Shura Realm and participate in the Death Battle Arena, suffered hidden injuries that tended to recur. It would be difficult to regain their combat strength in a short period of time. They could only move dangerously and think about getting rid of the goods.
, see if you can get enough money to get through this month's difficulties.
It's just that the buyers they had contacted before came today and became more demanding. They recognized the difficulty of the unknown origin of their goods and repeatedly lowered the price.
And the goods they are planning to sell are even more special. If they fall into the hands of the original employer, the price will probably be lowered even more. In addition, they have been entrenched in Gosying Village for many years, and most of the people who can receive the goods at the foot of the mountain know them.
We also know their identities as bandits, and even if they find new buyers, they will probably use this as an excuse to lower the price.
Not wanting to suffer the loss of being dumb, everyone discussed and decided to let Chu Qingxiao, a new face, go with him and let him sell the thing to see if he could get a fair price.
"A trivial matter?" After hearing this, Yue Jian raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "Do you know where we are going?"
Chu Qingxiao shook his head blankly.
"Night Python City." Yue Jian faintly spit out three words at that time.
Banditry is so rampant in Taixuan Mountain that it has reached a point where even the governors of the two states are unable to control it. The attitude of the two states towards this place has always been to blame it on the other party if they can, and try their best to hide it from the other party if they can't.
So I sent some soldiers and horses to circle around Taixuan Mountain and tell the outside world that I was determined to suppress the bandits.
Under such circumstances, most people in the towns around Taixuan Mountain are in danger. Some smaller villages have long been deserted. In larger villages, they even need to pay new year's money to Guiyazhai in exchange for peace.
In the world of Dayu, on the side of Tianxuan Mountain, something like this happened. It sounds unbelievable, but it is a real thing.
As a city close to Taixuan Mountain, Yemang City is obviously an exception.
To be precise, Night Python City is not actually a city.
Although it is located in Cangzhou, the Cangzhou Prefectural Mufu has not included it in the list of prefectures, counties and cities.
It was a chaotic place.
Whether the bandits in Taixuan Mountain attack passing merchants or rob surrounding towns, most of the goods obtained are difficult for the bandits to digest on their own.
They need a bridge to communicate with the outside world.
And this is how Night Python City was born.
The bandits brought the goods to Night Python City to sell the stolen goods, and profiteers with their own connections also came and purchased the goods at prices much lower than the market. Each party got what they needed.
But as time went by, Yemang City gradually grew, and it was no longer satisfied with the transactions between bandits and profiteers. All kinds of things of unknown origin began to appear in the city, and nobles and sects who also had various purposes also began to appear in the city.
I'm very attracted to this place.
After all, you can buy anything you want in this city.
Including human life.
But the chaos without rules extends the illusion of prosperity, and at the same time, it also hides the ultimate danger.
Murder and extortion often happen in this deserted land.
Therefore, even the bandits in Taixuan Mountain are very secretive about this place. Normally, Yue Jian and the others would not choose such a place to ship goods, but now that the situation is urgent, she has to take risks.
Yemang City has a notorious reputation, and ordinary people in Cangmu and Cangmu Prefectures have changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Therefore, after uttering these three words, Yue Jian stared at Chu Qingxiao with great interest, as if he wanted to see the young man in front of him show some horror or fear.
But what she didn't expect was that the young man who heard this just blinked his eyes and looked at her with confusion on his face.
Then he said with a serious face: "Well... Night Python City?"
