"How do you arrange it? Why do you ask me?" The old boxer who was asked crossed his arms and looked up at the sky. "I am just an idle person who takes a back seat. Others are in charge here."
"No, anyone else?" Hu Ji was surprised and glanced at the other people around the bonfire.
Hu Ji's eyes first fell on the Thunder Sword User. Feiyan didn't like Ri Shengchang at first, but now she even disliked him for his lack of vision, so she just snorted and turned away. The shocked Hu Ji paused and turned around
He looked tentatively at Zuo Anzhi next to him. The majestic double swordsman did have the demeanor of a manager, but he lowered his head and stroked his sword without giving the fat shopkeeper any expression.
As for the little white ape, his face was filled with a look of watching a good show, and Hu Ji's eyes passed directly over him, and fell on Zuo Wenjun in disbelief. The female wind envoy is a kind-hearted person after all.
The girl, seeing the depressed and troubled look on the fat shopkeeper's face, sighed slightly.
"Shopkeeper Hu, there is a saying that 'you can't see Mount Tai if you have eyes'. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"Yes, you can't see Mount Tai even if you have eyes?"
It's not that Hu Ji didn't understand the hint, but he never thought about the possibility that Gu Chen would be the leader. In response to such a disrespectful behavior of belittling her benefactor, the female wind envoy also showed her hidden poisonous tongue at the right time, which was not inferior to her beauty.
"Haven't you heard of it? Wouldn't it be easier to understand if it were said that 'dog eyes look down on people'?"
The spicy lines coming out of the innocent beauty's mouth seemed to have extra lethality. The shopkeeper Hu Ji froze on the spot, and the beastman next to him also showed a distorted expression like a nerve contusion. The double swordsman looked at his sister with black lines on his head,
The female swordsman burst into laughter.
"Uh, ah... um... please..."
Seeing the fat shopkeeper who was overwhelmed and almost crying, a kind-hearted person couldn't help but speak.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you're a step late. The Chaos Realm was successfully suppressed by the pioneers about half a day ago, and now the Hunhou Palace is no longer a threat. The elixir you brought probably has no chance of being used," Gu Chen said.
Hu Ji declared calmly
"However, the food and wine came at just the right time. Since we have successfully suppressed the Chaos Realm and all the surrounding monsters have been defeated, why not hold a celebration banquet here tonight and take out all the meat and wine we brought and have a good drink."
.What do you think?"
Regarding the last sentence, Gu Chen asked the surrounding military envoys.
"Haha, it's called a celebration banquet with wine and meat, of course!" The old boxer nodded happily.
"Yo ho! There's barbecue to eat!" the little white ape jumped up in joy.
"I'll tell those guys to move." The double swordsman stood up quickly, his previous indifference gone.
"Miss Feiyan, let's go outside and see how many materials can be used?" The female wind user stood up and greeted the female swordsman. The two women walked hand in hand and walked towards the pack team outside the forest with a smile.
Gu Chen's words were like pressing a switch invisible to the naked eye, and the originally silent camp suddenly became noisy. Amidst the bustle of people, the fat shopkeeper of Rishengchang looked at the magical unfolding around him like a fool, and looked again
The master, who was smiling modestly in front of the campfire, doubted for a moment whether he was really blind.
……………………
To be fair, shopkeeper Hu Ji's attitude towards Gu Chen is actually quite kind.
When Gu Chen was living in desolation and was demoted to a warehouse loft to sleep in a tent, Hu Ji not only did not add insult to injury, he even persuaded Bai Minghua several times to make her change her mind. Later, when Master Gu Chen came back to trade elixirs with Ri Shengchang, Hu Ji
Ji didn't look down on Gu Chen because of his previous reputation as a "freeloader," and his attitude towards reception was quite cautious.
The fundamental reason why the fat shopkeeper was blind this time was that he never expected that the leader of the pioneers would actually be a workshop master——
The gap between the pioneers who are heroes based on their fists and the masters who are dedicated to refining medicine and casting weapons is as big as black swallowtails and tomato soup. In fact, it is not just Hu Ji, nor any normal person would be like this.
Even if he witnessed the fact that Gu Chen was leading the pioneers, Hu Ji couldn't figure out the logical relationship.
Two or three months ago, he was still a refugee in a warehouse, but at this moment, he has transformed into a pioneer, the leader of the strongest fighting group in Liyang territory. From being a titled military envoy to a thunder sword envoy to a mist sword envoy, he has naturally accepted them all.
His arrangement is like stars surrounding the moon.
This situation was so unbelievable that Hu Ji couldn't help but have irrational associations.
"Could it be that some magic was used..."
Hu Ji shuddered and looked up at the bonfire not far away.
Dozens of bonfires were lit in the clearing of the grove, and the aroma of barbecue and wine wafted from the bonfire. At Gu Chen's suggestion, all the wine, meat and food shipped from Rishengchang were moved from the cage car to the clearing. The pioneers were all
He is a veteran of wilderness survival. He chopped firewood and barbecued meat by himself, and soon set up a formation like a bonfire dinner.
"Huh, it feels so good! At times like this, it's better to drink to your heart's content!"
"Tsk, tsk, we helped Li Yangling solve a big problem. Drinking some wine from the Wu family is nothing."
"Thanks to Mr. Gu, this is just right."
For any pioneer group, the experience of conquering and even suppressing Li Palace is a legend worthy of being written down in their career. For the pioneers who are immersed in the aftertaste of the conquer, the meat and wine supported by Liyang Mansion can be said to be
Light the last fire of the carnival.
The pioneers who knew each other or didn't know each other gathered around the bonfire, you drank me and I drank you, beating each other's shoulders, some shouted loudly, some roared to their heart's content, and some showed off their spirit weapons everywhere. The aura spread in
The noisy heat in the air even alarmed the pack-horses stationed outside the forest, and they ran to the edge of the forest one after another. Looking at the envoys who were drinking and singing and being wild, each one of them showed an expression of special envy.
The place where the heat is most concentrated in the small forest camp is the open space in front of the cage car.
"Come on Miss Feiyan, I bet you will win!"
"Don't lose, Mr. Zuo! Let her see our men's ambition!"
"I can actually see the duel between the Leiming Sect and the Cangshui Sect, wow, wow, it's so exciting!"
"Isn't it right? First of all, Master Zuo's sword is not a water sword, right?"
Hundreds of pioneers surrounded the clearing, cheering and jumping, and their excited eyes focused on the two figures facing each other in the center of the clearing.
Among the two figures, one of them is a female swordsman with a ponytail. Feiyan is seen lowering her body in preparation for an attack, and the thunder sword emits scorching lightning in her hands. The other person is a double swordsman with a stern face, both hands
Holding the Shuanglan Sword, he stared unblinkingly at the Thunder Swordsman opposite him, raising his swords up and down in a blocking and counterattack posture.
