"The one who can step off the ring must be me." Mo Yunzi took a deep look at Zhao Zheng, his eyes containing anger and hatred, and then took steps to walk towards Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng did not dodge, and faced the imposing Mo Yunzi directly. The moment the two passed by, he said calmly: "Wash your neck and wait for my sword."
"I should tell you this." Mo Yunzi snorted and passed Zhao Zheng, drifting away.
After making this agreement, the two of them felt at ease. Anyway, they would meet again soon, so they were not in a hurry to stumble each other during this period. Moreover, for Zhao Zheng, Zi Huan was by his side.
As a guard, even if Mo Yunzi wants to go against him, there is no need to be afraid. The person who will suffer the biggest loss will be Mo Yunzi.
Zhao Zheng straightened his mood, suppressed his excitement, and returned to his residence without continuing to wait and see.
After two days, there were no more troubles. Zhao Zheng really couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Baili and his son again and expressed his intention to leave. This time, Baili Liancheng couldn't keep Zhao Zheng anymore, so he agreed to let Zhao Zheng stay.
After leaving, the two of them cherished each other.
Baili Lianshan called himself uncle and called Zhao Zheng his nephew. Now that his nephew was going on a trip, of course he had to express it a little, otherwise he would lose the grace of his elders. He found a piece of white paper and wrote on it the following four words: Luoshu Villa
He handed it to Zhao Zheng as a parting gift. He also told Zhao Zheng to keep this word properly. If he encounters any trouble, he can use this word to protect himself. Many people in the world will give Luoshu Villa a short meal.
The function of this word is similar to that of the Wanhua Firecracker Cone, but it is not omnipotent. There are still many people who do not buy Luoshu Villa.
In addition to these words, Baili Lianshan also gave Zhao Zheng some tea leaves. There was only a small bag, which could be brewed about twenty times. The value of this bag of tea was already quite high.
Zhao Zheng refused a few times, not wanting to be rewarded for his merits, and did not want to accept these two heavy gifts. However, Baili and his son were so kind that they could not refuse, so they just gave it to Zhao Zheng, even if he wanted to. Zhao Zheng then thought about it,
Receiving gifts is also a way to express friendship. If you receive a valuable gift, you can return it twice as much in the future, so you won't continue to refuse.
Baili Lianshan was busy with affairs. As an elder, he could not see off Zhao Zheng, so a man from Baili Liancheng rode a horse to send Zhao Zheng and Zi Huan out of Luoshu Villa.
There are many carriages in Zhao Zheng's warehouse, but it is not convenient to take them out. For this trip, he used the carriage from Luoshu Villa. Zihua came to drive the horse, and he sat aside. Baili Liancheng rode a horse with no miscellaneous
A beautiful white horse with a look of reluctance on its face.
After walking for a long time, Zhao Zheng clasped his fists towards Baili Liancheng and said: "We meet sometimes in life. We send you off thousands of miles away, and we must say goodbye eventually. Brother Baili, please come back. After the arena at Zhujian Villa is officially held, we will
Goodbye."
"Sigh. After you leave, I will definitely have less fun." Baili Liancheng sighed.
"You can't always focus on having fun. In fact, everything my uncle said is good advice. You should calm down and focus more on your family's property. This is business."
"Those troublesome things make me dizzy just thinking about them. Don't mention this to me." Baili Liancheng shook his head.
"Good medicine tastes bitter, but good advice is harsh to the ears. Often the words that sound the most unpleasant to you are the best. You and I are equal friends, so I can't talk to you in depth. I'm only mentioning it to you this time. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
"Okay. I promise you that I will learn those trivial matters from my father." Baili Liancheng responded.
"Actually, learning those business lessons is not too boring. You should look for more fun in it. Maybe you will like those things in the future." Zhao Zheng smiled heartily and waved to his friend opposite, "Okay, don't be miserable.
Show your face. Turn your horse around and go back."
"Well, I'm going back now, take care of yourself." Baili Liancheng clasped his fists at Zhao Zheng, then looked at Zihua on one side, and nodded, "Sister Zihua, please take care of yourself too, if one day you are short of money
You might as well come to Luoshu Villa again and I'll hire you again."
"Haha, I have taken note of your words, and I will definitely come up with ideas for your wallet again in the future." Zi Huan smiled sweetly.
The three of them cherished each other and said goodbye. Baili Liancheng reined in the reins and stopped halfway, watching the carriage drive away and gallop on the spring-filled road. Zhao Zheng turned around and leaned to the side of the carriage, giving a final wave.
Then he sat back down and never looked back again.
The carriage left Luoshu Villa in this way.
Halfway through, Zihua picked up a topic and asked: "Boss Zhao, where are we going next? We can't go straight to the Sword Making Villa. The tokens have only been given out less than halfway, and it's not until the official start of the arena.
I’m afraid there will still be some time left.”
"I have a map here. You can see it clearly at a glance." Zhao Zheng rummaged in his arms for a while and took out a map, with Nanhua Mansion, Changchun Mansion and Jinxiang Mansion vividly drawn on it.
The landforms of the three prefectures are marked with multiple place names.
On this place name, there are many red crosses and connected by a line, forming a clear route map, with the final destination being Zhujian Villa.
In fact, Zhujian Villa is not far from here, only a few days' horse ride away. However, the route map has a big detour, and it may take many days to walk around to Zhujian Villa.
The first place with a red cross on the route map is called Baiku Valley. It is located on the border of Nanhua Prefecture. It is a slightly famous place. However, this fame is limited to Nanhua Prefecture. Once you stay away from here, few people know about this Baiku Valley.
It’s a trough.
Baiku Valley is a very small valley, and there is a small sect of the Hollow Sect in the valley. Just like this valley, it is just a little-known small sect.
"The first place we want to go is here." Zhao Zheng said, pointing to the Baiku Valley on the map.
"Why are you going there? Are you going to seek revenge from the Baidong Sect? I can tell you that I am a bodyguard, not a thug. I will not help you go around to seek revenge. I can write this rule in
It's on that list, don't tell me you didn't see it." Zihua reminded.
"You are too worried. I have nothing to do with the Baidong Sect. I don't know anyone in it, let alone seeking revenge. I have another purpose for going there." Zhao Zhengdeni said.
"What's the purpose? You brat, hurry up and stop trying to impress this girl."
"You are well-informed, so you must know what the Baidong Valley is. There are many natural caves in the valley, and the caves are connected to each other, like a maze. Many people will get lost if they enter. The Baidong Sect was built in
In this valley, there are mountains and rivers. Some disciples even live directly in caves. Outsiders think that Baidong Sect is just an ordinary small sect. In fact, Baidong Sect is not that simple. In the complex caves that this sect guards tightly,
There is a magical treasure hidden in it."
"What magical treasure land?" Zihua immediately became interested when she heard the word secret.
"There is a dripping stalactite deep in the cave of Baigu Valley. The dripping speed is very slow. It can only drip a few dozen drops a year. This kind of liquid dripping from the stalactite has a special effect. It is not ordinary water droplets. , wiping the body with this liquid can make the skin tougher, and the lifting effect is very significant. The Baidong Sect named this liquid 'Stalactite Jade Liquid', which is the mystery of this sect. It will not be disclosed to the outside world, and this liquid can only be enjoyed by important people in the sect." Zhao Zhengkan explained.
"Where did you hear these things?" Zihua asked half-convinced.
"I overheard it from a drunk Baidong sect disciple. Ever since I heard the news, I have been thinking about going to Baidong sect and secretly get some of this stalactite. 'Paint yourself a little.' Zhao Zheng gave up a reason, but in fact it was all from his previous experience in playing games.
"Maybe it's just the drunken talk of that person, and it's not credible."
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you go there. It's not far anyway, just on the way. If there really is that kind of 'stalactite liquid', we can sit on the ground and divide the spoils, each of us will get half. If you don't want to use it yourself, you can still take it Go sell it for money. However, you must not spread this news, lest the Baidong Sect suffer disaster and be driven away from Baidong Valley by other major forces."
"Haha. Your thoughts are too awkward. You want to steal other people's treasures, but you are also afraid of hurting others. Do you think you are a good person or a bad person?"
"I want to be a good person, but the world is full of distractions, too many attractions, and too many desires. I don't want to harm others, but sometimes I can't resist all kinds of temptations." Zhao Zheng did not struggle with this concept of good and evil, and turned to look at Zihua's beautiful side face said, "How about it? Do you agree to go to Baiku Valley? If you don't want to go, I won't make it difficult for you. I can just go by myself. But if I go by myself, it will be a bit dangerous. , if someone from the Baidong Sect discovers it, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape unscathed. If I have your help, everything will be safe. Even if all the people from the Baidong Sect put together, they are no match for you with just one whip."
"Hmph, the flattery sounds really loud."
"I'm not flattering you, I'm flattering you."
"Does your kid deserve a beating? No matter how big or small he is." Zihua raised her whip and prepared to hit him.
"Haha, isn't this because we have become familiar with each other? Once I become familiar with others, I will become very outspoken." Zhao Zheng dodged the whip and said with a smile.
"Who is familiar with you? I am not familiar with you at all."
"You are not familiar with me, but you are familiar with it." Zhao Zheng took out a banknote with a denomination of only ten taels of silver from his arms and waved it in front of Zihua, as if he was teasing a greedy cat with a small fish. .
When Zihua saw the money, she immediately waved her whip, wrapped the banknote skillfully, took it into her own hand, and said with a smile: "How dare you leak money in front of me, after this money is in my hand, But you just recognized my last name, so don’t expect to get it back." After saying that, he looked at the face value of the bank note, and said angrily, "Why is it only ten taels of silver!"
"Haha, as you just said, how dare I leak money in front of you." Zhao Zheng laughed so hard that his laughter echoed on the road and between heaven and earth.
Zihua opened her beautiful eyes, looking angry and strange, and gave Zhao Zheng a fierce look, looking charming and charming.
"Okay, back to the topic just now, do you agree to go with me?" After Zhao Zheng finished laughing, he brought the topic back.
"How strong is the effect of that 'Stalactite and Jade Liquid'? If the effect is not great, there is no need to sue. No matter how bad the Baidong Sect is, it is still a sect. If you offend it, you will always be in trouble." Zihua asked in return.
"The Baidong Sect regards the 'Stalactite and Jade Liquid' as a treasure and never publicizes it to the outside world, and even keeps it strictly confidential internally. This shows that the effect of this liquid is quite good."
"Even if this kind of 'Stalalactite Liquid' has magical effects, can you guarantee that you can find it? Don't forget, as you just said, Baiku Valley is simply a natural maze."
"The disciple of the Baidong Sect told the truth after drinking. Not only did he tell the secret of this 'Stalal Milk and Jade Liquid', he also told the way to get there. I have kept it all in my heart, and I will definitely find it when the time comes.
"
"Listening to what you said, it's really worth the trip. You asked me to think about it." Zihua fell into silence, her beautiful eyes turned back and forth, and her mind went back and forth. After thinking about it for a long time, she agreed, "Okay.
.I will take the risk to accompany you, and if we can get that kind of 'stalagmite liquid', we will split the money 50-50."
"Then it's settled." Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zi Hua wouldn't agree.
The two finalized the plan and made it clear where to go next. Zihua whipped up the horsewhip and sped up the carriage. Zhao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly became interested. He turned around and entered the carriage and took out a bag from his luggage.
An emerald green flute.
"I'm bored on the road. I'll play a piece of flute for you to relieve your boredom. I used to play the flute to a sworn sister, and you can be regarded as one of my sisters. I'll play a piece for you today." Zhao Zheng shook the bamboo flute and turned it sideways.
In front of the lips, aim the blow hole.
"So you can also play the flute, you are really versatile." Zihua said with a smile.
Zhao Zheng smiled and did not answer. After brewing his emotions for a while, he exhaled a long stream of air from his mouth, which turned into beautiful music through the bamboo flute and came out leisurely.
The tune is "A Laugh in the Sea". It has a simple and beautiful rhythm, and it has a heroic meaning of traveling in the world. But when people in the world hear this song, they will have more or less resonance.
Not long after listening to it, the smile on Zihua's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful look, and she listened carefully to the music.
With the melodious sound of the flute and the pounding of hooves, the carriage gradually moved away along the road, forming a small dot in this vast world, inconspicuous but the most eye-catching.
The two men were walking on the road easily, but they never expected that they were being watched by the enemy and being secretly followed along the way.
Five miles away behind the carriage, a vigorous figure hid in the woods on both sides of the road and moved forward rapidly. His speed was faster than that of a horse. His figure turned into an afterimage in mid-air, and his footsteps rose and fell on the branches.
, although the force was swift and fierce, no branch was ever broken by his steps, which shows how high this person is.
He is none other than Wei Yiyang's cousin Wei Dali. With his eighth-level skills, it is too easy to follow a carriage. He can catch the movement of the carriage with his sensitive hearing and rely on his long and powerful voice.
With internal strength, you won’t feel tired even if you run for a whole day.
Wei Dali was a reckless and impatient person. He originally wanted to rush up and capture this little girl Zihua in three or five strokes, and then tie him back to his cousin for work. He could not only enjoy the pleasure of the clouds and rain, but also the seventh level.
It is really a good thing to have the taste of a natural woman and to get great benefits in the future. However, Wei Yiyang warned him not to act rashly, but to follow quietly and wait for the best opportunity to take action.
Wei Dali was the vanguard of this trip, walking at the front, closely behind the carriage driven by Zi Hua, while Wei Yiyang and some accompanying guards rode in carriages at the rear to hold the line.
Ever since Zihua and Zhao Zheng left Luoshu Villa, Wei Dali had been following them from day to night, and did not stop until Zihua stopped to rest.
Wei Dali stood on the canopy of the tree, looking ahead from a long distance. With his sharp eyes, he could clearly see the situation of Zi Huan and Zhao Zheng. The two people were leisurely. They stopped the carriage on the side of the road and lit the fire.
The fire was lit and cooking rice was being made.
It seems that these two people will not be traveling at night and will rest on the road.
One of the most painful things in the world is to watch others eat while you are hungry. Wei Dali watched for a while, and seeing nothing unusual, he jumped down from the tree, turned back, and reported to his cousin.
Wei Dali was very fast, with several miles of land under his feet being the distance of a stick of incense. He quickly found the convoy that was running forward. He stood in the middle of the road and stopped the convoy.
The carriage team stopped one after another, and the horses raised their necks and neighed. Caught in one of the carriages, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes stepped out. This man had a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and a pair of small eyes. He was Wei Yiyang.
"How is the investigation going?" Wei Yiyang asked with concern.
"They stopped in front and are making a fire to make food. I guess they won't be on their way again tonight. I think this place is in the middle of nowhere and has no store in the back. It's a good place for action. Why don't I go over and capture them both?"
." Wei Dali said roughly.
"No, this place is too close to Luoshu Villa. These days, there has been a big event like the emergence of the Zichu Sword, which has attracted many people to gather here. If you do it here, it is likely to be seen by outsiders. If this matter spreads out,
, it is quite disadvantageous for us. To be on the safe side, it is better to wait a little longer. Once they are far away from Luoshu Villa and on a remote road, it will not be too late for us to take action." Wei Yiyang retorted.
"You're just a long-winded person."
"Being careful means being careful, and being careful makes a thousand-year ship. It's always right to be careful. But you don't have to be too impatient. I looked at the map and walked two days ahead and passed a small town called Yanyun Town.
After passing this Yanyun Town, the road will become much more desolate. By then, you can start with peace of mind."
"Oh, I have to be a follower for two more days." Wei Yiyang said gloomily, and then waved his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan, "I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm so hungry that I can't help but get some dry food for me.
After I finish, I will continue to follow you." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
