Zhang Baoer's sword possesses a shocking speed. The speed exceeds the perception of the messenger. There is no need for his brain to order his mouth to close. His mouth has already been closed like a conditioned reflex.
His legs were shaking violently. If it weren't for the fact that the sword was in his throat and he was worried about making any noise, he would have collapsed to the ground while trying to maintain his standing.
Zhang Baoer did not look at him and continued to whisper:
"Either you lied to me, or...there are other reasons?! Tell me!"
When the word 'say' came out, Zhang Baoer had already raised his head and stared into the messenger's dissatisfied and fearful eyes.
The messenger, with trembling lips, immediately replied:
"I, Jinxia, have a prince who is unknown to outsiders. He is an extraordinary talent. He is only... only twenty-six years old. He is already a Nascent Soul monk!"
"What?!"
"this……"
Zhang Baoer was slightly stunned, Hong Qi and Yan Tie were even more shocked. All this was too shocking. Although Leng Xiaoxi was younger and had amazing talent, after all, he was either a Yuanying monk or a Yuanying monk, and this Jinxia Kingdom
The second prince is already a Nascent Soul monk. You must know that he is only twenty-six years old. This is a great thing in the Three Kingdoms!
Zhang Baoer calmed down after being stunned for a moment, took back the sword, continued to look at the messenger and said:
"The news leaked?"
"yes!"
The messenger wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said:
"After His Highness the Second Prince broke through the Nascent Soul, perhaps because he was a little... a little lonely... so he secretly went out to drink a few times and slept with girls in restaurants a few times... One day he got drunk and had an affair with a member of a big family.
The young master had a conflict over a girl, so..."
He knew there was no need to say the rest, because Zhang Baoer had already nodded and motioned for him to be quiet, and he obediently stayed quiet and waited for Zhang Baoer's words.
Zhang Baoer once again fell into deep thought. This time he did not whisper. After being silent for a long time, he raised his head and said:
"Where's the stuff?"
Hearing this, the messenger was filled with joy beyond words and asked:
"My lord agreed?!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, quickly shook his head, and then said:
"half!"
"this……"
The messenger was puzzled, but before he could ask, Zhang Baoer crossed his legs and said:
"I'm not interested in that half of the country, and I promised the Xiangyun Kingdom not to intervene, so... haha, I can only promise half of it, and I can help you deal with the Chaoyang Kingdom. As for the Xiangyun Kingdom, you can only rely on yourselves... How about it?"
This time, the messenger fell into deep thought. After a long time, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke with all his strength:
"good!!!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer relaxed, leaned back on the chair, and repeated with a smile:
"Where's the stuff?"
The messenger suddenly lowered his head and replied nervously:
"I didn't bring it..."
"Um?!"
"Sir! Please, please listen to my explanation..."
Hearing Zhang Baoer's cold snort, the messenger was frightened and trembled, and quickly explained:
"The villain didn't bring that thing, but he brought 237,600 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"oh?!"
Zhang Baoer's eyes softened a little, waiting for him to continue.
The messenger was a smart man, and he immediately told everything slowly:
"These two hundred and thirty-seven thousand six hundred fast-medium-grade spiritual stones are already the largest amount that the royal family can collect... Give them to your Excellency as a deposit. When the matter is completed... Your Excellency, don't worry! Even if the Jinxia Kingdom is destroyed, that thing will
It will also be handed over to the Lord, because we have already made preparations. His Highness the Second Prince has entered the Death Mountain Range. If the Jinxia Kingdom is destroyed, His Highness the Second Prince will come with that thing. I hope the Lord of the City will be merciful.
,can……"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer interrupted him. He already understood that they were worried that they would not do the work while collecting money. This was indeed reasonable and understandable.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Tang Tiantian, Xiaoha, Duoduo, Xiaotian and Unicorn Ma appeared at the door and ran over quickly because they saw Zhang Baoer coming out of seclusion.
Seeing Xiaotian following Duoduo, Zhang Baoer sighed and turned to the messenger:
"I promised!"
Boom!
The messenger cried with joy when he heard this. He couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then said:
"The thing is not on the villain's body. The villain will have someone bring it to him right now!"
After saying that, after getting Zhang Baoer's nod, he quickly got up, made way for Tang Tiantian and others, and trotted out the door from the side.
As soon as the messenger left, Tang Tiantian arrived and rushed over to drag Zhang Baoer up.
"Brother! Let's go, let's go!"
"what?!"
Zhang Baoer asked without curiosity, he was waiting to receive the money.
Tang Tiantian's big eyes rolled around a few times and then stopped, and she let go of Zhang Baoer's hand, because she really had no good reason to drag this otaku out to go shopping and play - she had been frustrated several times before.
…………
"Sir! What are you..."
Not long after, the messenger came back and handed a space ring to Zhang Baoer, which contained exactly that number of spiritual stones. Zhang Baoer was delighted, but did not move, so the messenger became a little anxious.
Zhang Baoer interrupted him and explained:
"I, Zhang Bao'er, keep my word... Haha, the reason why we are not sending troops today is because we have to make arrangements for the chaos in the city! Messenger, please be at ease. You can go back and wait one night, and you will set off with me tomorrow."
Hearing this, the messenger walked around uneasily. After a while, he seemed to have thought clearly that "the matter really cannot be rushed, and people really should arrange things." So he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay! I won't delay my lord's business. I will take my leave now and come back to see you tomorrow!"
As Zhang Baoer nodded, the messenger said goodbye and left. Seeing his unhesitating steps, Zhang Baoer looked at the space ring in his hand and fell into deep thought again:
"Something is wrong... This is too simple! He shouldn't be the leader of Jinxia Kingdom, right? Could it be that... Jinxia Kingdom is already in danger, so he has the right to do things cheaply? So he seeks medical treatment in a hurry? Also, if not
It would be impossible for him to arrive at the Flying Cavalry of the Cloud-piercing Beast in less than seven or eight days... By the way, he came with that second prince, right? If he is really the messenger of Jinxia Kingdom, this explanation makes sense. But
, if he doesn’t... Well, no one would use so many spiritual stones to do such a thing, right? I don’t seem to have any big enemies. Even if I do, there are masters in the holy realm who have the ability to take out so many spiritual stones.
Just come to me..."
While he was thinking, Hong Qi walked in and told him, 'All the congressmen have gathered.' Zhang Baoer stopped his random thoughts, stood up and walked out.
…………
Zhang Baoer has not been the lord of Chaos City for a long time, and those 'councillors' have not yet had the courage to raise objections and agree with all his decisions.
Zhang Baoer had no choice but to say no more to them. After some warnings, he let them disperse.
Returning to the City Lord's Mansion, all the people were already waiting in the hall. After asking Tang Tiantian to calm down, he sat down and shouted to the sky with a serious face:
"Tian Xiao, the Chaos City Army has left me a hundred men and a hundred men to guard Chaos City. You can take the others with you. When we set off tomorrow, you will immediately escort Tang Tian and everyone's family members to Stone City! Remember to keep it secret.
!Try not to leave any traces!"
"Brother..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Baoer looked at Tang Tiantian with a serious face and said:
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. To me, you are the most important. If you don't make arrangements, I won't worry! I don't know why... my heart is beating so fast since I agreed to the messenger! Tang Tian, be obedient.
, take good care of them."
"Um……"
Although Tang Tiantian liked to fool around, she could still distinguish the importance of things, and nodded in agreement with a sad expression.
Afterwards, everyone tried to persuade him not to go, but Zhang Baoer shook his head. The attraction of that skill to him who could not practice it was too great, and he could not refuse.
He didn't deceive Tang Tiantian and the others. He really didn't feel good and felt a little tight in his chest. Besides this vague reason, there was another reason why he made such a decision - he had lost everything, and now
Having him is afraid of losing it again. This is a conditioned reflex of caution!
After arranging everything, he let Tang Tiantian lead him to cook. However, as soon as the fire was lit, he was still a little worried and went to find Tian Xiao, Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang, and told them, "If something unexpected happens,
, then head to the Western Wilderness'.
After receiving the assurance, he returned to the kitchen.
…………
Early in the morning of the second day, people who had just learned that the Lord of the City was leaving quickly got up or put down what they were doing and rushed to see him off.
Seeing the active appearance of these people, the messenger and his people all felt scared. If such a popular person aims at the world, then they... Fortunately, he is very lazy, and he is the kind of person who can't afford to be early without benefit.
,Although this kind of person is greedy, he is not terrible!
More than a hundred people, followed closely by Zhang Baoer who was riding a unicorn horse, left the chaotic city amidst people's farewells. When they were about to go downhill, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but look back and saw Tang Tiantian and others standing there.
The newly built city wall waved goodbye to him.
Seeing that Xiao Ha did not follow and was still lying in Tang Tiantian's arms, he nodded, turned his head and shouted:
"drive!"
"Hoo ho!"
The one-horned horse barked wildly and sped up, and more than a hundred war roosters behind it also sped up.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, dust flew up, and more than a hundred riders disappeared from the end of the field of vision along the winding mountain road like a long snake.
"Slow down!"
The unicorn horse was running happily. When he noticed that the "chicken team" behind him was getting further and further away, Zhang Baoer quickly tightened the reins.
"Hoo ho!"
The one-legged horse is a little unhappy. Recently, he went to the street with Tang Tiantian and others after eating and sleeping. Because some people couldn't let go of the speed, now he can finally have a good run... However, he is still very obedient.
The speed has slowed down - even though it is not very intelligent, it still understands what it needs to know. For example: if it doesn't listen to Zhang Baoer, it won't be able to eat what Zhang Baoer made by himself.
Dong dong dong...
"Blessed is the city lord! What a handsome mount!"
The noisy running sound quickly approached, and as soon as the messenger arrived, he stared at the unicorn and praised it profusely.
This flattery can be said to be on the horse's belly. Zhang Baoer is not the kind of person who likes flattery from others. He glanced at the messenger coldly, and the messenger hurriedly put away his smile and returned to his seat.
I don’t know why, but this guy seemed to be a new person today, always pretending to be a good guy to please him, and Zhang Baoer found it very annoying.
"Perhaps you are not used to Tang Tian and the others being away..."
Zhang Baoer shook his head and got rid of his thoughts. Seeing the soldiers of the city-rioting army facing his face, Zhang Baoer suddenly felt pressure - he brought these people out. Although he would try his best to avoid a head-on attack during this trip, the soldiers were fierce.
Also...I don't know if some of them will be unable to go back.
Thinking of this, he tightened the reins and made the unicorn stop, and said to the man behind him who was closest to him:
"Third company commander!"
"Please give instructions, chief!"
"Send a squad of scouts to explore the road ahead, changing them four times a day!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
The man raised his head and chest, performed a military salute on the back of the war chicken as a soldier of the Chinese Army of Earth, then immediately turned his head and shouted to a female cultivator on his left side:
"Second Platoon Commander, the scouting mission has been handed over to your second platoon!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
The female cultivator also performed the same military salute as he did, and then immediately turned her head and shouted to a twenty-year-old man behind her:
