The bearded man and Pearl outside felt that waiting was so painful. For a long time, in an empty, messy, and silent environment, they were the only two people staying quietly. The only thing accompanying them was the people on the ground.
Dead body with mutilated body.
About half an hour later, I saw the patched-up Meng Zhao striding forward, his arms swinging vigorously, his piercing eyes looking domineering, and he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his lips.
Big Beard and Pearl hurriedly came forward to greet him. The former forced a smile, while the latter pouted, seemingly dissatisfied.
"Meng, Meng Zhao, what did you do to those two people?"
The first person to speak was Pearl. The little girl still looked fat and ugly after disguising herself. Her coquettish and naive demeanor was really unbearable. However, she obviously had no self-awareness. The bearded people next to her were all talented.
Resist the desire to punch her.
Meng Zhao was not dissatisfied with Zhu Er's attitude, he just nodded and said,
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of the tail and I'll make sure it won't cause any trouble for our next trip."
Although there is no direct indication of what he did to the tavern proprietress and the cook, it is highly possible that he will be silenced.
Zhu'er rolled her eyes and wanted to say something, but looking at Meng Zhao's aggressive and oppressive eyes, she swallowed it and said no more.
The little girl followed Tan Cai'er and actually experienced a lot of scandals. She was not overly sympathetic, but from a female perspective, she was dissatisfied with Meng Zhao's too touchy behavior.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. She was born as a maid and is not very courageous. Of course she will not cause trouble for herself.
Meng Zhao ignored Zhu'er. This was a chess piece placed by Tan Cai'er beside him. He also cooperated with the other party to stay. If he wanted to cooperate in the future, he would at least have a mouthpiece to act as a liaison.
Especially since he has just learned some important information, he is even more eager to expand his power and influence. It is beneficial and harmless to make friends with Tan Cai'er, a person with a profound background and huge influence.
Turning my attention to the tall, burly and strong bearded man, I saw that although his aura was weak and he was suffering from internal injuries, he could move freely and his injuries were not serious, so he said,
"Big Beard, the caravan is gone, what are your plans next?"
As he spoke, Meng Zhao walked behind the counter, took a small jar of wine placed on it, found a porcelain bowl and filled it up. The amber-like texture and color showed that this was a very good strong wine, and the smell was also good.
Irritating.
When the bearded man heard Meng Zhao ask this question, his face dropped and he felt very unlucky.
For a traveler like him, when employed by a caravan, the remuneration is usually not paid directly in full, but 40% is paid in advance when setting off, as a reassurance that when the destination is reached, everything is safe and without loss, and then
Pay the remaining 60%.
Therefore, he only received 40% of the reward for this trip. Now that the caravan has been robbed, the remaining 60% is naturally missing. In addition, he was injured this time and almost died. It is a huge loss. .
However, it's not that he can't bear it.
First, Big Beard is a martial artist who wanders around the world and has no fixed foundation. He will not be stuck in one place and find it difficult to break away. In other words, he can slip away at any time without paying attention to the censure of the abducted palace manager's family, so as to avoid worries.
Secondly, he has strength and force. As long as he recovers the internal strength sealed by Gu Ye Youxiang, his own livelihood will not be a problem.
"Well, I want to wait for the effects of the medicine to dissipate and recover my skills before looking for a living."
The bearded man was also very honest. He didn’t take any advantage of Meng Zhao’s inquiry and said whatever he thought.
Meng Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and handed over the wine bowl he had just filled.
"Do you know who I am?"
The bearded man was breathing heavily, and smelling the sweet aroma of wine aroused his greed. After taking a sip, he nodded and said,
"I know, you are Meng Zhao from the Meng family in Nan'an. I have heard of your name. It is said that the peerless genius Shen Tianci admired you very much and thought that you could be his opponent if he entered Xiantian. This matter is widely circulated ."
So far, this is the most eye-catching label for Meng Zhao himself, and it is the most intuitive recognition of Meng Zhao by people outside Nan'an County and even in the martial arts world outside Jizhou.
If it is true, a warrior who is recognized and appreciated by Tianci Linzi is definitely a genius with an unlimited future. There is no need to doubt this.
Of course, Big Beard saw with his own eyes Meng Zhao's domineering strength and outstanding martial arts. In his opinion, there are very few Meng Zhao opponents among people born in the future, which seemed to confirm Shen Tianci's remarks.
Tianjiao is indeed Tianjiao, and his judgment is not bad.
Meng Zhao felt helpless about being tied up by Shen Tianci, but he had no intention of arguing and nodded,
"Not going around in circles, the reason why I disguise myself and hide my identity is precisely because I am being hunted by Qianjiao, the elder of the Demon Lord Palace. This person is an innate strong man and has many masters under his command. It is not suitable to fight head-on for the time being.
Fortunately, I already understand Qianjiao's arrangements, and I am confident that I can break through the defense line as quickly as possible and rush back to the county town.
You took good care of me along the way, and you would rather offend Lu Haochun than betray me. You have fate and kindness. Since you have no plans now, why not follow me back to the Meng family."
The bearded man hesitated. This was of course a good thing for him. If nothing else, he would at least not have to sleep in the open air, worry about the future, and rely on the Meng family. This was simply the lifelong pursuit and dream of some low-level warriors.
After all, sometimes there are many talents, but they may not be able to get ahead. More often, there is no opportunity and no platform.
As for the Meng family, there is no doubt that it can be used as a support for a warrior. The illustrious reputation built over more than a hundred years is definitely a golden sign.
But, I’m afraid that people will just let him go there to provide for his old age.
After all, Big Beard is a talent. If he has the opportunity to acquire powerful martial arts, he will naturally want to hit the innate realm, and this requires a lot of resources.
If Meng Zhao only allowed him to go to the Meng family for retirement because of some gratitude and fate, but did not give him the resources to practice, he would rather continue to fight and fight in the world, looking for opportunities and accumulating possibilities.
Although the bearded man didn't say anything, Meng Zhao seemed to be able to see into people's hearts and understand what he was worried about, so he comforted him,
"Don't worry, I am about to leave the Meng family to develop a career. I need talents and experts, and I won't let you waste your time in vain.
Not only do you have outstanding foundation, but you are also very good in martial arts. If you can enter the innate realm in the future, it will be a great help, and I will help you."
These words directly dispelled the bearded man's worries and he was ecstatic.
The so-called blessing is a blessing in disguise.
He no longer has an apprentice who passed down martial arts, but he has a backer with a profound background and great power. This is not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing.
After all, you can find apprentices at any time, but there are very few who can devote a lot of resources to help you enter Xiantian.
