As he approached the Crystal City, Zhang Chi began to become a little nervous. He was mainly nervous about the climate. He had encountered a snow wave near here last time, and the devastating scene was still fresh in his memory. Zhang Chi was a little puzzled. The once-destroyed Crystal
Why would the city be rebuilt ten years later? Aren't the Black Moon clan worried about the coming snow wave?
Zhang Chi specifically asked Lingning about this matter, and Lingning told Zhang Chi that snow tides were not common. They had not been seen a few times in the Northern Wasteland for so long, and not even once in recent years.
According to Huang Qitai's estimation, they would be able to arrive at Crystal City tomorrow. The caravan camped outside the city for the last time, and the caravan members were all relieved.
Cao Chengguang sneaked up to Zhang Chi and quietly reminded him not to forget what he had promised him. After arriving in Crystal City, he would give him some gold coins and make him happy for two days.
Zhang Chi had long known Cao Chengguang's urine properties, so he took out his wallet and gave him half of the gold coins.
Cao Chengguang was not polite, took the gold coin and said: "How many days do you plan to stay in Crystal City?"
Zhang Chi said: "I have no plans at the moment. I don't know what is going on in Crystal City." In fact, he originally planned to escort the caravan to Crystal City and leave immediately, and did not even plan to enter the city.
Cao Chengguang said: "I heard that this Crystal City used to be the political and economic center of the Chongmu clan. It would be a pity not to go and see it."
Zhang Chi said: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed after going there." He went to Crystal City ten years ago. Crystal City was in ruins at that time. He also encountered two snow waves in and outside Crystal City. The thrilling scenes are still in his memory.
new.
Cao Chengguang chuckled and said: "Destroy and then build. Maybe the Crystal City now is even worse than it was back then."
Zhang Chicai didn't believe that a new city could be built in ten years. He raised his head and looked up out of habit, but he didn't see the three-headed eagle. He felt a little strange. Did Zong Jiupeng finally give up the pursuit? Just when he was confused,
I saw a short and fat figure walking over in the distance. It was none other than Zong Jiupeng. However, Zong Jiupeng came alone and did not bring the three-headed eagle with him, probably to avoid causing panic in the caravan.
Before Zong Jiupeng came close, he was stopped by two team members in charge of security. Zong Jiupeng smiled and said, "I'm here to find Zhang Chi."
Zhang Chi asked someone to let him go.
Zong Jiupeng walked over slowly, holding two wine bags in his hands. He came to Zhang Chi and put the wine bags down and said, "This is the good wine I have collected. Try it."
Cao Chengguang looked up at Zong Jiupeng, and Zong Jiupeng looked down at Cao Chengguang. Compared with Cao Chengguang, he looked much taller.
Zhang Chi said to Cao Chengguang: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zong, who is known as the number one bounty hunter in the Northern Wilderness."
Zong Jiupeng smiled and said: "I have actually given up. Now I rarely spend time in the Northern Wilderness. I spend most of my time on the Lengshan Plateau."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard him mention the Lengshan Plateau. He didn't know how true Zong Jiupeng's words were, but this man rode a three-headed eagle across the Netherworld Ruins, so he must be very well-informed, and he could get a lot of information through him.
Zhang Chi introduced Cao Chengguang to Zong Jiupeng: "This is Mr. Cao."
Zong Jiupeng chuckled and said, "Mr. Cao is also from a foreign country."
Cao Chengguang said: "You are very curious."
Zong Jiupeng nodded and said, "It's always been like this."
Cao Chengguang picked up a bag of wine, opened it and smelled it. The aroma of wine overflowed. He had been coming to Netherworld Ruins for a while. Although he had tasted a lot of wine, most of it was difficult to swallow. It was probably due to the brewing process.
, not to mention the aroma of the wine, this wine is good as soon as you smell it.
Zong Jiupeng said: "Brother Zhang, do you have barbecue to eat?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Mr. Zong came here with wine to eat barbecue."
Zong Jiupeng said: "I ate the barbecue cooked by Brother Zhang ten years ago, and I still remember it."
Zhang Chi said: "Okay, let's eat barbecue and drink wine."
Cao Chengguang was full of praise for the wine brought by Zong Jiupeng. He finally drank delicious wine after coming to Netherworld for so long. He praised: "This kind of wine is worthy of the relaxing barbecue."
Zong Jiupeng said: "This wine is the work of the wine master I brought from Beibing City."
Cao Chengguang said: "Master of brewing? Yes, this level is indeed worthy of the title of master." He took another big sip.
Zong Jiupeng said: "Speaking of which, I know this master Zhang."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be startled: "Who?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "Ji Chang, do you still remember?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
Not only Zhang Chi remembered, but Cao Chengguang also remembered: "Ji Chang?" He looked at Zhang Chi blankly. Could it be that this wine master was the Ji Chang he knew, the former warden of Shenjing? He got confirmation from Zhang Chi's expression.
Zong Jiupeng said: "Mr. Cao also recognizes Ji Chang?"
Cao Chengguang said: "I recognize him, but I never knew he could make wine."
Zong Jiupeng said: "He is a capable person. The Feng family's ability to block the attacks of the Netherworld army in recent years is inseparable from his suggestions."
Zhang Chi said: "Has he always been fighting against the Netherworld army?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "It's not just him. Do you know why I gave up my past career? It was also because of the war on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. The Feng clan alone could not withstand the attack of the Netherworld army. In recent years, there have been many changes in Netherworld Ruins.
A few people took the initiative to rush to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and voluntarily joined the Great Wall defenders to resist the invasion of the Netherworld army, because everyone knows that if the Great Wall of Ice and Snow is breached, the end of the five clans will come."
Zhang Chi said: "It's a pity that the Black Yuezhi doesn't know."
Zong Jiupeng said disdainfully: "The Black Yuezhi are short-sighted. They think that they can enjoy peace by building a line of defense on the edge of the Lengshan Plateau. It is simply a dream, and they don't even understand the truth of death."
Zhang Chi picked up the wine bowl and said to Zong Jiupeng: "Mr. Zong attaches great importance to the overall situation and shows his talents in dangerous situations. I would like to toast you."
Zong Jiupeng said: "I am not as upright and upright as you say, but I know that if the Great Wall of Ice and Snow is broken, my homeless people and I will not be spared either."
At this time, Huang Feixue made milk tea and brought it over. Zong Jiupeng's eyes forgot about her. Huang Feixue was afraid of Zong Jiupeng. After pouring the milk tea, she hurriedly hid next to Zhang Chi.
Zong Jiupeng said: "Are you nineteen years old?"
When Huang Feixue saw that he was still looking at her, she realized that he was asking her a question. She didn't answer and shrank behind Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Mr. Zong, it's impolite to ask a girl her age." He asked Huang Feixue to go back to the tent first, knowing in his heart that Zong Jiupeng came here today because of Huang Feixue.
Cao Chengguang burped, got up and left to rest.
Zong Jiupeng said: "You came here this time to help deal with the Netherworld army, right?"
Zhang Chi said: "Why does Mr. Zong think so?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "I heard Ji Chang talk about it. He said that you will come back. He also said that with our strength alone, there is no way we can fight against the Netherworld army unless we have foreign aid. I think the foreign aid he meant is
you."
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Zong, have you seen General Feifeng?"
Zong Jiupeng knew as soon as he heard that he wanted to find out the whereabouts of General Feifeng through himself. He took a sip of wine and said, "Have you seen the picture I gave you?"
Zhang Chi said: "Then what is drawn in the picture?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "The mark of our family."
Zhang Chi has now been able to basically confirm that Zong Jiupeng and Huang Feixue should be of the same race, and are most likely to be related by blood. He said calmly: "Since Mr. Zong has given up, why did he send out the three-headed eagle to capture my people again?"
?”
Zong Jiupeng said: "Someone entrusted me to catch her. I didn't do it for money, but to repay a favor. This person saved my life back then."
Zhang Chi said: "Why did you change your mind again?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "Because her eyes are very much like my daughter."
Zhang Chi looked at Zong Jiupeng in astonishment. Zong Jiupeng nodded and said, "Yes, if she has a tattoo on her body, she is my granddaughter. Each family of our Baiyu tribe has its own unique tattoo.
My daughter disappeared inexplicably. I have been looking for her all these years. Later I heard that she was sold into slavery. When I found her, she was seriously ill shortly after giving birth and her daughter was snatched away. When I saw her
, she no longer recognized me, and couldn’t even tell who the person who harmed her was, but she held my hand at that time, and I knew from her eyes that she was begging me to find her daughter."
Zhang Chi sighed secretly in his heart, never expecting that Zong Jiupeng would have such a tragic experience.
Zong Jiupeng pursed his lips, looked at Zhang Chi and said, "Can you tell me if she has such a tattoo on her body?" His eyes were full of expectation, hoping to get a positive answer from Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi yawned and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Zong should go back and rest."
Zong Jiupeng was so angry that his nose was crooked. Mad, I have told you everything, but you still haven't told me the truth. This kid is really hateful. Zong Jiupeng can't wait to rush into the tent and find Huang Feixue right now.
Ask what happens.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Zong, I will give you the answer when we arrive at Crystal City tomorrow."
Zong Jiupeng nodded bitterly and said: "Okay, I will wait one more day. If you don't tell me the truth then, I..." He wanted to say something harsh, but he swallowed it when it reached his lips.
When he went back, he thought there was nothing wrong. Huang Feixue's eyes were almost exactly the same as his daughter's, and Huang Feixue also had the ability to control beasts. He was clearly a descendant of the Baiyu tribe. Just wait, this kid was clearly trying to amuse himself. Feixue was
He has never seen anything about his female slave.
After Zong Jiupeng left, Zhang Chi returned to the tent. Huang Feixue had already laid out the bedding. Seeing him coming back, she went over to help him take off his boots and whispered: "Master, has Zong Jiupeng left?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Why are you leaving? Are you afraid of him?"
Huang Feixue hummed, shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with the young master."
Zhang Chi said: "Feixue, I have a request."
Huang Feixue said shyly, "Feixue will agree to whatever you ask me to do."
Zhang Chi said: "I want to see that tattoo of yours with my own eyes."
"Um……"
Cao Chengguang woke up early in the morning and saw the caravans packing up and getting ready to hit the road. He looked up at the sky and saw Zong Jiupeng riding on the back of a three-headed eagle, circling overhead. Zong Jiupeng said loudly: "Good morning, Mr. Cao."
Cao Chengguang said: "It's better for you to go out and walk the birds early in the morning."
Zong Jiupeng smiled and said: "Tell Zhang Chi for me that I will wait for him at the east gate of Crystal City." After saying this, he patted the three-headed vulture on its neck, and the three-headed vulture flapped its wings and flew into the air.
Cao Chengguang went to find Zhang Chi, but he didn't see Zhang Chi. He only saw Huang Feixue packing her things. He walked up to him and asked, "Where is Zhang Chi?"
Huang Feixue's face turned red, either from the cold or from shyness, and she whispered, "Young Master and Lightning went out. They said they were going to explore the road and would be back soon."
Cao Chengguang said deliberately: "How did you sleep last night?"
Huang Feixue blushed even more and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Seeing her expression, Cao Chengguang thought to himself, it's very likely that they've already cooked the rice. They've been in love for a long time and slept together all day long. It would be strange if nothing happened. He coughed and said, "Did Zhang Chi bully you?"
Huang Feixue quickly shook her head: "Young Master is kind to me."
Cao Chengguang originally wanted to tease her a few more words, but when he saw Zhang Chi riding lightning back, he stopped talking. It would be embarrassing if Huang Feixue sued him for harassment.
Zhang Chi said: "Old Cao, what are you doing?"
Cao Chengguang said with a playful smile: "I'm here to find you." He told Zong Jiupeng about what he had just met and asked him to pass on a message.
Zhang Chi said: "Just let him wait. Let's set off as soon as possible. There will be wind and snow later, so I hope it won't be too big."
Zhang Chi rode lightning to Huang Feixue and motioned for her to come up and ride with him. Huang Feixue sat down behind him and carefully grabbed his clothes with both hands. Zhang Chi grabbed her hand and asked her to hug his waist.
Huang Feixue was both shy and surprised.
Zhang Chi said: "Feixue, I will separate from the caravan when we get to Crystal City."
Huang Feixue was a little surprised and said: "What? Master, aren't you ready to enter the city?"
Zhang Chi said: "When I arrived at Crystal City, I completed the tasks entrusted by my sworn sister. I want to rush to Lengshan Plateau as soon as possible to meet someone."
Huang Feixue whispered: "Wherever the young master goes, Feixue will go." His arms involuntarily hugged Zhang Chi tightly.
Zhang Chi said: "I still have a lot of things to do. It's impossible to take you with me all the time. Besides, you will have your own life."
Huang Feixue shook her head, hugged Zhang Chi tightly and said, "No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm right next to you. I'm your slave girl."
Zhang Chi said: "Feixue, I have told you a long time ago that you are not following me as a slave girl, and you are not my private property. You are free."
Feixue sobbed: "Have Feixue done something wrong? You can beat me, scold me, punish me in any way, but you can't abandon Feixue."
Zhang Chi said: "What I mean is..."
Lightning sighed and said: "Master, it's boring. People are following you wholeheartedly. Why do you hurt people's hearts? Don't you think you are too cruel?"
Zhang Chi cursed in his heart: "You know nothing."
Lightning said: "Play hard to get, you are playing hard to get. You want her to stay by your side wholeheartedly, without asking for fame or reward. Master, master, you are too insidious."
