Chapter 43: The Longling Mountains
"Childe, please!"
The middle-aged man was very happy and walked to the side with Zhang Xuanji.
After all, Zhang Xuanji rode a phoenix feather dragon horse and wore the clothes of a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Since he dared to go down the mountain alone to practice, he must have something to rely on, and most of them were cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Realm.
"Childe is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Zhang Xuanji nodded slightly, and didn't say much.
"Dare to ask Childe's name?" the middle-aged man asked.
Zhang Xuanji frowned slightly, but just said, "My surname is Zhang!"
"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi!"
The middle-aged man said with a smile, not minding that Zhang Xuanji didn't say his name.
The two came to the gathering place of a group of people, and Zhang Xuanji secretly looked at the group of people.
Four guards with knives, two maids, a young lady from a family, and an old woman in a purple robe.
There were also four young men, dressed in different costumes.
These four people got together alone, thinking that they should know each other, and most of them were invited to join by middle-aged people like themselves.
"Guys, let me introduce you!"
The middle-aged man pointed at Zhang Xuanji and said to everyone: "This is Zhang Gongzi, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and he will join us on this trip!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciple?"
Among the four, the hook-nosed young man glanced at Zhang Xuanji: "It looks young, and I don't know how many catties and taels there are!"
Zhang Xuanji's expression was calm, and the middle-aged man said with a smile: "No matter what, let's take care of multiple people!"
The short and fat young man next to the hooked nose said: "My second brother is right, taking this little kid can only be a burden!"
Zhang Xuanji was still silent, and the middle-aged man leaned in front of the four of them and whispered: "Don't worry, my young lady will pay you no less, bring this young man, let's make up the number! Our young lady pays attention to this, and when I find another person, we will set off!"
The hook-nosed and the short-fat young man were still talking, and the strong-haired man who was the leader of the four said, "Second and third, it's okay! Steward Wu should go find someone!"
Steward Wu nodded again and again, and said to Zhang Xuanji with a smile: "Gongzi Zhang, I have already told them, you wait here, I will find another person and set off!"
After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Xuanji to speak, he left in a hurry.
The conversation between Steward Wu and the four of them just now, although he deliberately lowered his voice, he naturally heard it with Zhang Xuanji's current cultivation.
The four of them were obviously hired by this Wu steward at a cost, and they invited themselves to join just to replenish the number, and there was no mention of remuneration at all.
Although he is not unfamiliar with those rewards, why do he have to join them when he is so despised?
Zhang Xuanji turned the dragon horse and left to enter the mountain.
"Zhang Gongzi!"
Steward Wu ran out of nowhere and blocked in front of Zhang Xuan's body.
Zhang Xuanji sat on the back of Ryoma and said coldly: "I still have something to do, I can't delay, you can find someone else!"
Steward Wu hurriedly said: "Zhang Gongzi! I have already found someone! There are exactly fifteen people, and we will be able to set off immediately!"
Zhang Xuanji looked behind Steward Wu and found a woman in black with a sword standing not far away.
Although he was masked with a black cloth, he could vaguely see a few hideous scars at the corners of his eyes.
"I do have important things to do, so I won't go with you!" Zhang Xuanji said and was about to leave.
Steward Wu stopped Zhang Xuanji again: "Zhang Gongzi, we will be able to set off soon! Please join us! We must gather the number of people to be safe!"
Zhang Xuanji frowned slightly, looked at Steward Wu with some confusion and asked, "Why do you have to gather fifteen people to be safe?"
Steward Wu looked helpless: "Zhang Gongzi doesn't know, my young lady knows that we have to cross the Longling Mountains safely today, and there will be a bloody disaster in a group of less than ten people, and ten to fourteen people are even more murderous, and a group of fifteen people can save the day!"
Zhang Xuanji's eyes condensed slightly: "Wu family, are you from the Wu family in the Eastern Regions Bagua City?"
"Yes!" Steward Wu nodded.
Zhang Xuanji secretly said that he was lucky in his heart, glad that he didn't say his name.
The Wu family in this gossip city has a long history with the Zhang family in Lin'an City, and if he says his name, he is afraid that he will be recognized immediately.
Steward Wu continued: "Since Gongzi Zhang has heard of our Wu family, he should know the divination technique of our Wu family, and there will be no mistake from the mouth of my young lady!"
Zhang Xuanji groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Then you go and call them over!"
"Okay! Zhang Gongzi is here for a moment!"
Steward Wu hurriedly responded, and was about to invite the young lady, after taking two steps, he seemed a little uneasy, and whispered to the woman in black to let her look at herself, don't let herself run, as long as she did the good before, the reward would be added by 10%!
When Zhang Xuanji heard this, he almost left on the spot in anger.
However, thinking that the relationship between the Zhang family and the Wu family was not bad, he pressed it down.
In addition, Zhang Xuanji noticed that the young lady of the Wu family seemed to be about the same age as himself.
Most of them are Miss Wu, who had a marriage contract with herself.
Is this world so small?
Can you go down the mountain and meet your original fiancée?
But thinking about it, it may be blamed on the fact that my father set too many marriage contracts for himself at the beginning, which increased the chance of encountering.
Zhang Xuanji waited for a while, and everyone from the Wu family and the four young men walked up.
Everyone in the Wu family rode in a luan driven by eight white-feathered spirit beasts.
The four guards were divided into the four corners of the Luan driver, the two maids knelt in front of the Luan driver, and the purple-robed old woman accompanied the Miss Wu family to sit in the Luan driver.
The eight-headed white-feathered spirit beast was as white as snow.
The legs are more than two meters long, and the back has two wings.
The white-feathered spirit beast can run and fly on land, and its running ability is slightly stronger than that of the phoenix feather dragon horse, and its flight ability is ten times better than that of the dragon horse.
When it is time to fly, the eight white-feathered spirit beasts will each pick up the ropes of the four corners of Luan's driving and take Luan to fly over the mountains and rivers.
The quartet, like Zhang Xuanji, also has a phoenix feather dragon horse, which is obviously prepared to cross the Longling Mountain Range.
The third short-fat young man in the group of four said, "What if I thought this kid was leaving early?
The second hook-nosed man said coldly: "A stinky kid crossing the Longling Mountain Range alone is tantamount to looking for death, if he doesn't want to die, of course he has to wait for us!"
"It's not easy to go out!"
Steward Wu was afraid that Zhang Xuanji would be squeezed and ran away, so he hurriedly said.
Zhang Xuanji looked through the thin veil on Luan's car and glanced at Miss Wu a few times.
With delicate facial features and watery apricot eyes, she is indeed a very rare beauty.
The eyebrows and eyes of this young lady of the Wu family made Zhang Xuanji vaguely feel a little familiar, but it was definitely not the woman of the Wu family who had a marriage contract with him.
"Boy, what are you looking at?"
The third of the foursome blocked Zhang Xuanji's sight.
Zhang Xuanji snorted coldly: "I should ask you this!"
"You kid don't want to live anymore?" the three were angry and about to do it.
Zhang Xuanji was naturally not afraid, and turned over his hand and took out the long sword.
