Chapter 752: The soldiers are divided into two groups
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "I have a business to escort some goods to Crystal City, but I lack a reliable guide. I wonder if Mr. Huang is interested?"
Huang Qitai heard that someone was looking for him on an errand. Although he wanted to show off his attitude, his excited eyes could no longer be contained. He had been without a source of income for a long time. Storm City was no longer what it used to be. The status of the Mountain Barbarian clan members was low.
It is even more difficult for a disabled person like him who has lost his psychic ability to find a decent job. Huang Qitai doesn't even have the courage to bargain. He is afraid that he will offend this noble man and may have a chance.
Fleeting.
Huang Qitai said: "This road is very dangerous."
Zhang Chi said: "I will give you a hundred gold coins as a reward, and I will be responsible for all the food and drink expenses incurred during the journey."
Huang Qitai really couldn't think of a reason to refuse such conditions. He was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he respectfully asked: "When will we set off?" He has been working in the Huang family business group for many years and is well versed in the rules. He does not ask about the goods, only the time.
, allowing myself to be a guide and giving such a generous reward is enough to prove that these goods are very important.
Zhang Chi said: "Four days later, at five o'clock in the morning, you go to the door of Mingfu Inn and wait for me."
Huang Qitai said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will arrive on time."
Zhang Chi asked Feixue to give him ten gold coins as advance payment, but Huang Qitai pretended to shirk the offer and finally accepted it.
After Huang Qitai left, Zhang Chi asked Fei Xue to sit down. Fei Xue abided by the etiquette of master and servant from beginning to end and stood aside to wait on her. Zhang Chi felt pity for her that she hadn't eaten yet and was going to let the store serve her food.
Feixue said: "Master, don't worry about me. Master and servant are different. How can I sit at the same table with the master? Moreover, I have eaten and I am not hungry at all."
Seeing her insistence, Zhang Chi had no choice but to let her go. He showed his Tanyou card, and it was indeed free of charge. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that the role of the Tanyou card was not limited to Huajie. As long as he held this brand, almost all the properties held by Huang Feihong could be used.
Unimpeded traffic.
Back at the Mingfu Inn, Zhang Chi knocked on Lao Cao's door, but no one answered. He guessed that Cao Chengguang was having a good time and would not be back tonight. He just thought about Lao Cao and the tall mountains in general.
The Man clan girl felt like she wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Zhang Chi opened a room for Feixue next to him. Although he knew that as long as he asked, Feixue would come over willingly to warm the bed, but he always felt that this kind of thing was a bit immoral. People staying with him did not really like him, but out of humbleness.
Slave mentality.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on Zhang Zhang's door. When he opened the door, he saw Cao Chengguang running in, panting.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw his look: "If you're not enjoying yourself at Tuibo Tower, what are you doing back here?"
Cao Chengguang made a silent gesture to him, put his ear to the door, listened, and whispered: "Damn it, my sign has been stolen."
Zhang Chi was speechless. A cunning and cunning character like Cao Chengguang could actually trick others.
Zhang Chi said: "Who can do it?"
Cao Chengguang smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know? I was quite happy, Mad, but when I was about to take off my clothes, I touched the brand and disappeared."
Zhang Chi said: "That means you didn't do anything?"
Only then did Cao Chengguang realize that he had strayed. He sighed and said, "I went to the door and walked around. Unfortunately, that girl had to check my sign. When I touched it, the sign was gone."
Looking at him, Zhang Chi knew that he was trying to make a fool of himself: "Then what?"
Cao Chengguang said dejectedly: "Those bitches in Tuibo Tower have no good quarrels. They will fall out whenever they want. It's a good thing that I ran fast, otherwise I would have been beaten by them by now."
Zhang Chi said: "You don't have to worry about this. You are so good at hiding, they may not be able to find you."
Cao Chengguang said: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "You should go back to your room and rest."
Cao Chengguang said: "I have to hide for a while. I came back to inform you." Before he finished speaking, noisy footsteps came from outside. Cao Chengguang waved his hand to Zhang Chi, turned around and went underground.
There was a rapid knock on the door outside. Zhang Chi stood up and opened the door. A fat woman rushed in with a group of strong men.
Huang Feixue, who was next door, heard the commotion and hurried over. Seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help being shocked and said loudly: "Boss Liu, what are you doing?" It turned out that this fat woman was Liu Xiniang, the boss of Tuibo Tower, and she was also
One of the most powerful figures in Flower Street.
Immortal Zhang calmly walked up to him and looked at Boss Liu and said, "What are you doing?"
The fat girl put her hands on her hips and said, "What about the dwarf?"
Zhang Chi said: "This boss Liu, why do you want a dwarf to knock on my door?"
Liu Xiniang raised a Tanyou sign and said, "Did you give him this sign?"
Zhang Chi took a closer look and saw that the sign also said "Tanyou is good", but this sign was obviously a fake. That was wrong. Huang Feihong clearly gave him two pieces and gave one piece to Cao Chengguang. He saw that the sign was absolutely fine.
How could it suddenly become fake? It seems that the Cao Chengguang brand was accidentally dropped.
Huang Feixue was eager to protect the master and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Boss Liu, Mr. Zhang is Madam's adopted brother."
"So what? Bring a fake brand to the Tuibo Tower and trick me into eating, drinking, and sleeping. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I, Liu Xiniang, will fall out with him." There was arrogance in his words, and his eyes were looking around when he spoke.
.
Zhang Chi secretly laughed in his heart, could Cao Chengguang sleep with this fat girl? The contrast is too strong. If Liu Xiniang is compared to an aircraft carrier, Cao Chengguang is just a carrier-based aircraft at best, and the taste of this product is too strong.
...immortal Zhang couldn't imagine that kind of scene.
Zhang Chi said: "Boss Liu misunderstood. Although he and I know each other, we don't have a deep friendship. We just live in the same inn, and I didn't give him this brand."
Liu Xiniang said: "But he said you gave it to him."
Zhang Chi took out his Tanyou sign and waved it in front of Liu Xiniang's eyes and said, "My sign is still here, how could I give it to others casually?"
Liu Xiniang saw the Tanyou card in Zhang Chi's hand, and reached out to take it to see, but Zhang Chi had already taken it back, so she missed it.
Huang Feixue said: "Boss Liu, if my wife knows about this, she will definitely be unhappy."
Liu Xiniang nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give Madam a face. Don't let me see that dwarf again in the future, otherwise I will cut him into pieces, crush his bones and scatter his bones to ashes to satisfy the hatred in my heart."
Immortal Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly, what a hatred this was.
After Liu Xiniang led the group of people to leave, Huang Feixue closed the door and asked with concern: "Did you surprise the young master?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding." He looked at the ground. Cao Chengguang probably wouldn't dare show up for a while.
Huang Feixue said: "I'll make the young master a cup of tea."
Zhang Chi nodded, Huang Feixue went to make a pot of tea for Zhang Chi, brought him a basin of hot water to soak his feet, and squatted down to help him remove his shoes and socks.
Zhang Chi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Huang Feixue busy and said softly: "Feixue, stop being busy and sit with me for a while."
Huang Feixue said: "It's all Feixue's fault. She slept too deeply and didn't stop those people in time."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "What does it have to do with you that Lao Cao caused trouble?" He was a little surprised. The entire Flower Street was owned by Huang Feihong. Why was Liu Xiniang of Tuibo Tower so arrogant and didn't even seem to give Huang Feihong face?
Huang Feixue explained to him that there were actually many crises within the Moon Worshiping Merchant Group. Although Flower Street was ostensibly owned by Huang Feihong, in fact the real owner was Du Beifeng. This Liu Xiniang was the boss of Tuibo Building. She had a bad temper and was domineering, and Huang Feihong was responsible for it in the past.
It was supported by Du Beifeng in the past two years, and even Huang Feihong didn't pay attention to it.
The Tanyou card that Huang Feihong gave to Zhang Chi was actually authorized by Du Beifeng. The merchant did not dare not give face to the Tanyou card when he saw it. It should be said that it was for Du Beifeng, not for Huang Feihong, the boss in name only.
Although Zhang Chi knew that Huang Feihong was in a bad situation, he didn't expect that she would be in such a difficult situation. Instead, he had caused trouble for her today. Thinking of Liu Xiniang's arrogance just now, he had some doubts that Cao Chengguang's brand had either been lost or that he might have been pushed away.
The gang in the building dropped the bag to embarrass Huang Feihong, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the house to cause trouble.
Huang Feixue helped Zhang Chi fall asleep and then left quietly. When he returned to his room, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered. Huang Feixue struggled desperately, but unfortunately he couldn't make any sound.
Not long after Zhang Chi fell asleep, Cao Chengguang emerged from the ground in his room, patted him and said, "Something has gone wrong. Huang Feixue has been kidnapped."
Zhang Chi was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say?"
Cao Chengguang told what he had just seen. He had just quietly followed Liu Xiniang and his gang. When he saw someone coming back after Liu Xiniang left, Cao Chengguang thought it was against him, but he did not expect that they actually kidnapped Huang Feixue.
Zhang Chi said angrily: "You obviously saw it, why didn't you stop it?"
Cao Chengguang said: "It was the big fat bitches who took her abducted. I followed them all the way and saw them taking her into the Tuibo Tower. Didn't I hurry up and inform you? This is called inquiring.
, if we don’t know who did it, something like this will happen again in the future.”
Zhang Chi stood up and said, "Let's go, I want to see what they want to do?"
Cao Chengguang said: "If that girl doesn't give Huang Feihong face, there's no point in going to her."
Zhang Chi said: "Our troops are divided into two groups. You go to rescue people, but I want to see what kind of immortal Liu Xiniang is."
Immortal Zhang did not go to trouble Huang Feihong. Firstly, it was too late. Secondly, even looking for Huang Feihong was of no use. Huang Feihong’s influence in the Moon Worshiping Merchant Group and even Storm City was not that great. The thirteen merchants who had been killed by Du Beifeng before were
The backbone of the regiment is her confidant, and Liu Xiniang doesn't buy it at all.
Evil people still need to be punished by evil people, and Zhang Chi is least afraid of such people.
He and Cao Chengguang divided their troops into two groups and went straight to Huajie to push down the tower. No matter whether the Shanman clan was in charge in the past or the Heiyue clan was in power now, it was a felony to tamper with other people's private property. Huang Feihong gave Huang Feixue to himself, so Huang Feixue was his.
What Liu Xiniang did was an open robbery of private property, and according to the rules of Storm City, she could be killed on the spot.
Zhang Chi came to Flower Street. Dozens of brothels in the entire Flower Street were lit up with red lights. When the night wind blew, the red lights swayed in the night. From a distance, they looked like undulating waves. The scene was very spectacular. The largest among them was
Push the wave building.
Immortal Zhang stopped in front of Tuibo Tower, looked up at the golden signboard of Tuibo Tower, paused for about ten seconds, and then strode inside.
Two guards in front of the door stepped forward and stopped him: "This young master, has he seen the sign outside the door?"
Zhang Chi smiled calmly and waved the Tanyou sign in his hand towards the two of them. The two looked at each other and stepped back. At the same time, they made a fist with their right hands and patted their hearts three times, saluting Zhang Chi, proving that this sign still had some effect.
Zhang Chi was too lazy to pay attention to them and walked into Tuibo Building. To Zhang Chi's surprise, there were no guests in the Tuibo Building, which had a privileged status in Huajie Street.
Liu Xiniang walked downstairs from upstairs. She was tall and fat, and her steps were heavy. She stepped on the wooden stairs, and each step made a creaking sound, which made people worry that the stairs might be damaged at any time.
She collapsed.
As Liu Xiniang walked, she looked down at Zhang Chi, a pair of slender eyes on her round face showing a mean light.
Zhang Chi said: "Boss Liu, you never expected that we would meet so soon."
Liu Xiniang said: "I am not familiar with the young master. If you come to Tuibo Tower to find a girl, I can help you introduce her."
"Thank you, Boss Liu, for your kindness. The reason I came here is indeed to find a girl."
Liu Xiniang raised her two exaggerated long eyebrows and said, "Who is he?"
"Huang Feixue!"
Liu Xiniang laughed and said, "I know Huang Feixue, but she is not here with me."
Zhang Chi saw that she was telling lies with her eyes open, but he was not angry. Cao Chengguang should have escaped into Tuibo Tower. With Lao Cao's skills, it would not be difficult to find Huang Feixue and rescue her. Zhang Chi said: "The state has national laws and every family has its own rules. According to Baofeng
According to the city's laws, anyone who forcibly seizes other people's property may be imprisoned in the lightest form, or beheaded in the worst case."
Liu Xiniang pretended to be confused and said, "Hey, you should hurry up and find out who took Huang Feixue away. No, when did Huang Feixue become your private property?"
Zhang Chi said: "My sworn sister Huang Feihong has given her to me."
Liu Xiniang smiled and said: "Congratulations, Huang Feixue is a rare beauty in Stormwind City. Even the Admiral likes her very much." She deliberately carried Admiral Dubeifeng to intimidate Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi secretly scolded this woman for being ignorant and said calmly: "I remember that this flower street belongs to my sworn sister."
Liu Xiniang said: "Don't just take things in this world at face value. Mr. Zhang must have been in Stormwind City not long ago. It's true that Hua Street is Boss Huang's property, but the property is hers, but we are running it separately. Let's talk about that Exploring Card.
You can’t just take it out and run wild, there has to be a source in the end, don’t you think so?”
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Yes, this sign is indeed of no use."
Liu Xiniang said: "But without this sign, I am afraid that as a young master, you are not qualified to enter the Tuibo Building, otherwise you will be thrown out if you walk in."
Zhang Chi laughed loudly: "So this Tuibo Tower is still a place that I can't reach?"
Liu Xiniang said: "I didn't say anything."
Zhang Chi said: "If you weren't looking for someone, I wouldn't come if you invited me. To be honest, seeing Boss Liu's appearance, I lost all my mood."
Liu Xiniang's face showed a greenish look, and this guy's words were quite vicious. He was clearly looking down on me. She said coldly: "Master Zhang, please come back. There is no one you are looking for in Tuibo Tower!"
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice saying: "Master!"
But it was Huang Feixue who escaped from the cellar. Of course she didn't have this ability on her own. However, while Zhang Chi and Liu Xiniang were talking, Cao Chengguang had already sneaked into the Tuibo Tower and knocked down two strong men who were in charge of guarding.
Huang Feixue, who was locked in the cellar, was released.
Cao Chengguang did not dare to show up in public, so he hid immediately after rescuing people, leaving Zhang Chi to handle the rest.
Huang Feixue was stopped by someone before she could reach Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi looked at Liu Xiniang coldly and said, "What's the explanation for Boss Liu?"
Liu Xiniang was caught and revealed, but she still didn't show any guilt: "There's nothing to explain, and I don't know why people are pushing the wave building." She glared and screamed: "Who the hell is going on?
Is someone hiding here with me?"
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Okay, I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with Boss Liu. Feixue, come here, I will take you back."
Huang Feixue walked towards Zhang Chi. The nurse who was pushing the wave building still wanted to stop her. Liu Xiniang winked and signaled him to let him go. She was extremely puzzled. It was obvious that this matter was done extremely covertly.
Why was it still discovered?
Huang Feixue came to Zhangchi's side tremblingly, and Zhangchi held her hand. Huang Feixue's delicate hands felt cold, and she was obviously very frightened.
Zhang Chi took Huang Feixue's hand and walked out. Liu Xiniang looked at their backs with a fierce look in her eyes but finally did not order anyone to stop them.
When we walked out of Tuibo Building, the wind started blowing outside, and the rows of red lights on both sides of Flower Street swayed in the wind, like two red rivers surging.
Huang Feixue said in a trembling voice: "Sandstorm is coming."
Zhang Chi said meaningfully: "What is supposed to come will always come."
A man in black wearing a bamboo hat stood in the center of Flower Street holding a knife. The five-foot-long narrow knife in his hand was pointed at the ground at a 45-degree angle. His posture looked like that of a killer.
After all, Liu Xiniang wanted to do business, so of course she would not stop Zhang Chi from leaving in Tuibo Building, but leaving Tuibo Building did not mean that she could leave Huajie. There were many customers in Tuibo Building, from all kinds of professions, and among them there were killers.
Tuibo Tower cannot kill people casually, but guests of Tuibo Tower can. After killing people, they just walk away and have nothing to do with Tuibo Tower.
The killer kept his head low, dragging the knife and strode toward Zhang Chi with a full posture and murderous intent. However, he only ran halfway when he suddenly stumbled. To be precise, someone stretched out his hand and pulled on his ankle.
After a moment, the killer suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner. What was even more unfortunate was that before he could move the knife he was using to chop people, he cut his own neck.
The killer is unknown, but his story has been spread in Huajie since then, because many people in Huajie saw the scene where he died before he left the army.
After this incident, Zhang Chi felt more and more that Huang Feihong's situation in Storm City was not good, so he specifically advised Huang Feihong to leave Storm City. According to the current development of the situation, it wouldn't be long before she would be completely abandoned.
Huang Feihong politely declined Zhang Chi's proposal. Although she was in a difficult situation, she believed that Dubeifeng could not leave her in a short period of time, and her safety would not be threatened. She made a special trip to Tuibo Tower to meet with Liu Xiniang to resolve the issue.
After learning about Cao Chengguang, Liu Xiniang promised her not to pursue the matter further.
After three days of preparation, the day of departure finally arrived.
Huang Qitai arrived at Mingfu Inn on time. Only then did he realize that he was working as a guide for the Moon Worshiping Merchant Group. To be fair, he was still resistant to the Moon Worshiping Merchant Group because after the Black Yuezhi took control of Storm City, the Huang family business group had no time to move.
Most of the property was transferred to the Moon Worshiping Merchant Group. To put it bluntly, it was plundering by force.
But conflict returns to conflict, reality returns to reality, Huang Qitai is just a useless person now. If he hadn't met Zhang Chi, he would have been in poverty and had no other choice. It is really rare to leave Storm City and make a living, so how can he care about his character?
.
This time the business group had a total of seventy-three members and twelve carriages. Except for the coachman, the rest were mainly responsible for protecting Zhang Chi along the way. Huang Feihong found a Shanman guide named Huo Jiu for Zhang Chi. Huang Qitai served as Zhang Chi's guide.
He was hired privately, and he didn't even tell Huang Feihong about it.
After successfully leaving Stormwind City with the customs clearance documents, Cao Chengguang rode on his horse, turned around and looked back at Stormwind City and said: "What a bullshit place, it's not interesting at all."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile and said: "Old Cao, did you have fun at Tuibo Tower that night?"
Cao Chengguang was most afraid of him mentioning this matter, so he said with a hot face: "It's boring." He looked at Huang Qitai beside him and said, "Who is this cripple?"
When Huang Qitai heard his rude words, he could only swallow his anger.
Zhang Chi said: "Old Cao, this is Mr. Huang, my good friend, please be polite to others."
Huang Qitai saluted Cao Chengguang and said, "I have met Mr. Cao."
Cao Chengguang looked at Huang Qitai and said, "Is he reliable? Is he good?"
Zhang Chi laughed loudly and ordered the convoy to march towards Crystal City.
There was another person in charge of the caravan this time, who was sent by Huang Feihong to do business in Crystal City. His name was Huang Zhulang. He was a kind man and always asked Zhang Chi for permission before setting off. This was also what Huang Feihong told him before setting off.
Huo Jiu was in charge of leading the way, and Zhang Chi and others stopped behind. Shortly after leaving Storm City, they encountered a sandstorm. Yellow sand rushed towards them, blocking the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the road ahead. Everyone covered their mouths and noses and put on goggles.
, Zhang Chi originally agreed to meet Chu Jianghe and the others outside the city, but it was difficult for him to find the meeting place in such bad weather.
The guide Huo Jiu was also confused by the dust and could not find the red beech tree that Zhang Chi mentioned.
After Huang Qitai asked, he offered to lead the way. Zhang Chi followed him from the back of the team to the front. Huang Qitai did not disappoint Zhang Chi, and soon brought the caravan to the dry red beech tree. Zhang Chi looked at
Looking at the red beech tree in the wind and sand, I couldn't help but sigh. Huang Qitai did have some skills. In such a dusty weather, he was able to find this place based on his memory, which proved that he had not chosen the wrong person.
Zhang Chi saw no one next to the red beech tree and looked at the time. It was already the appointed time with Chu Jianghe. In Zhang Chi's memory, Chu Jianghe was still a punctual person and for some reason he hadn't shown up yet.
Huang Qitai suddenly pointed to the distance and said: "There are wolves!"
Zhang Chi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw more than a dozen wolves looming in the sand in the distance. He had already felt it in his heart. Lightning and some of his subordinates had come to join him. Zhang Chi told Lightning
Follow the caravan temporarily and wait until they are far away from Stormwind City before meeting again to avoid frightening them.
After waiting under the red beech tree for half an hour, Chu Jianghe and the Chongmu clan still did not arrive. Zhang Chi realized that they might not come. It seemed that Chu Jianghe had his own plans. Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot force it.
Cao Chengguang saw this very clearly. When he rescued Chu Jianghe last time, he found that something was wrong with Chu Jianghe. Now it was proved that Chu Jianghe did not want to be with them. Cao Chengguang said: "That kid has been here just like you.
, he also has his own purpose."
Zhang Chi nodded. Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is hard to force him. He is not worried about Chu Jianghe. Chu Jianghe is now with the Chongmu family. He saved Xiao Hongying back then, and the people of the Chongmu family should treat him well.
In comparison, Zhang Chi is more worried about Bai Xiaomi. Although Bai Xiaomi is smart, she has never been to Netherworld Ruins. Now there is no news about her. She doesn't know where she is living, and she doesn't know whether she can cope with this harsh environment alone.
Cao Chengguang's eyes were as bright as fire, and he could see his thoughts, and whispered: "Are you worried about that girl?"
"We all came together and should look after each other."
Cao Chengguang said: "I want to discuss something with you." He gestured to Zhang Chi and bowed down, whispering in his ear: "Ask the Gale Wolf to send me there. I think Huajie has burned down the Tuibo Tower." He was violent.
He was already extremely angry, and he was a person who was determined to retaliate against others. He still suffered from the cowardly anger in Tuibo Tower and still wanted to go back to take revenge.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "You don't have to be as knowledgeable as that kind of woman, and the real estate in Huajie Street belongs to Huang Feihong. My sworn sister has not offended you, why are you burning her house?"
The two of them murmured under the red beech tree for a long time. Huang Zhulang came over and asked if they could set off.
Zhang Chi saw that more than forty minutes had passed and Chu Jianghe had not yet arrived. He probably didn't want to go with him anymore, so he ordered the caravan to set off immediately.
The sandstorm was still going on, but its momentum was gradually weakening. After the caravan left the red beech tree, a group of people came out of a hole not far from the red beech tree. The leader was Chu Jianghe. Looking up, Chujiang River had already turned into a sandstorm on the horizon.
The caravan of little black dots sighed softly.
Xiao Hongying's voice came from behind: "Brother Chu, why don't you go over and meet Brother Zhang and the others?"
Chu Jianghe said calmly: "We have to say goodbye when we meet. Since we have to say goodbye eventually, why meet each other?"
Xiao Hongying looked at Chu Jianghe with admiration, feeling that this ordinary sentence contained infinite philosophy.
Lao Suntou, who finally emerged from the hole in the ground, whispered: "It's time for us to hit the road. Will this sandstorm stop for a while?"
