Chapter 721: Ambush
The next day, the heavy snowfall that had been falling for several days finally stopped. The morning sun rises and the soft sunlight shines down, which is soothing.
A crowd poured into the silent Giant God Square, and today the City Lord's Mansion held a farewell party here for the three young talents who participated in the Winter Competition, attracting everyone to watch.
"Hey, crazy Chu, since you want to compete, I won't accompany you. ”
Wu Kongqing put his arm on Chu Jiang's shoulder, walked with the Fang family, and said.
"Have you disliked me for just a few days?" Chu Jiang said jokingly.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you, I just happened to meet an old friend," Wu Kongqing laughed, "Count the days, if you come back early, you should be able to catch up with your finals." ”
Chu Jiang looked at Wu Kongqing meaningfully, "Listening to your tone, it seems that something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong, you still have to worry about yourself," Wu Kongqing patted Chu Jiang on the shoulder, and then sped up to catch up with Fang Min, who was walking in front.
Chu Jiang smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly, "This kid." ”
Arriving at the top of the square and entering the specially divided area, Chu Jiang and Fang Shan sat in the front row, with only six positions in total.
This was the first time Chu Jiang had seen the head of the Fang family, although his physique was a little thin because of his long-term illness, but his sharp eyes were full of shocking power.
"Chen's family has arrived!"
A loud voice came from the edge of the square, causing a commotion in the crowd.
"Chen Chuhe, Chen Chuhe!" "Chen Chuhe, I want to marry you!" "Chen Chuhe must enter the top seven!"
Chu Jiang listened, turned his head to look, and knew why the cheers came and went, and they didn't stop for a long time.
That handsome skin alone is enough to fascinate thousands of girls, not to mention that its strength is equally strong.
Chen Chuhe seemed to sense something, and his cold eyes did not change at all in his gaze at Shang Chujiang, and he seemed to be indifferent to anything.
"Oh, it's a little funny," Chu Jiang stared at Chen Chuhe with interest and sat on the far left, feeling that it was a walking ice cube, exuding a cold air all over his body, which was very different from the lazy and lascivious Chen Hengqiu.
"Chen Chuhe has been fostered by Elder Dreaming since he was a child, and he only returned to the family a few months ago, which is a little different from the rest of the Chen family. Fang Shan spoke, his eyes flashing with a hint of appreciation.
Chu Jiang retracted his gaze, "It is indeed excellent." ”
If Chen Chuhe didn't trouble him, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to provoke him.
"Wang's family has arrived!"
The last remaining family of the three major families in Bingdong City also arrived, led by an old woman leading a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the girl was petite and cute, and the woman was graceful and luxurious.
"Wang Yue, the fourfold of the sea of clouds," the information about Wang Yue came to Chu Jiang's mind, the four layers of the sea of clouds can only be regarded as the middle among the entire participants, but it does not guarantee what hole cards he has.
Because there is a sister at the peak of the Yunhai Realm above Wang Yue, it stands to reason that her sister is more likely to achieve good results, but the Wang family sent Wang Yue to participate.
"I'm sorry for the delay because of a little thing, and everyone waited for a long time. ”
Grandmother Wang and Wang Yue sat down in the two vacated seats in the middle, and said with a smile to the other two family heads.
The three families gathered, and the ensuing process was lengthy until noon.
Chu Jiang yawned and finally waited for the city lord's closing words.
"Next, let's send off the three warriors and wish them good results in the Winter Competition!"
There was a neighing, and three flying snow horses dragged the luxurious carriage into the square amid the cheers of everyone.
"Go ahead," Fang Shan finally said to Chu Jiang.
"Hmm," Chu Jiang nodded, stood up with Wang Yue and Chen Chuhe, and walked towards the carriage.
In the crowd at the rear, Fang Min looked at Chu Jiang tightly, "Everything is safe." ”
Once you got into the carriage, the surroundings were instantly quiet, and the canopy had a unique soundproofing effect, but the divine sense could still be detected.
"Continue to cultivate!" Chu Jiang sat cross-legged and immediately began to cultivate.
Flying snow travels thousands of miles a day, and it only takes three days to reach Wind and Snow City, and Chu Jiang is now only five short of being able to cast cloud and water flow silks, so he needs to hurry.
The three carriages began to move, increasing their speed, and finally galloped out of Bingdong City.
After Chu Jiang and his party set off, several letter sparrows flew out of the north city wall and flew into the distance.
The days of the blizzard season are always changeable, one second it is a delicate day, and the next moment it is snowflakes flying again. The cold wind howled, and the horses walked through the snow.
The drowsy weather continued until the evening and there was no change in sight, it was still gray, but the further west we went, the temperature began to drop significantly.
"Young Master Ling, let's take a break for a while, you can come down and take a walk. ”
Late at night, the carriage stopped, and the coachman said to Chu Jiang inside the canopy.
"Well, good work!"
Chu Jiang rubbed his temples, not long ago, he successfully controlled forty-nine filaments, and it could be said that he was only one step away from success.
But this step was not so easy to take, and the successive failures made Chu Jiang decide to slow down, otherwise with his current state, it would be impossible to succeed.
Stepping out of the car, a cold wind blew, and Chu Jiang's dull head immediately sobered up.
The snow had been cleared of the surrounding area, and a bonfire was burning violently in the center.
Taking out a few pieces of dry and hard jerky and skewering them, Chu Jiang sat down directly by the fire and began to roast them.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, okay, okay, I'm in my own way. ”
A light voice came from behind him, followed by a trotting footsteps, and Wang Yue sat beside Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang looked at Wang Yue inexplicably, and the distance between the two could be said to be shoulder to shoulder.
"It's so fragrant, and it's really amazing with my snow wine!"
Wang Yue took out a small silver pot, picked out a piece of red-hot charcoal from the bonfire, opened the lid of the pot and threw it directly into it.
"You're only fifteen or sixteen years old and you're so greedy," Chu Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, Wang Yue's series of actions just now, coupled with the expression of smacking his lips, was simply an old drunkard, and he didn't have the appearance of being generous before.
Wang Yue looked satisfied, "This wine, the more you drink it, the more you can taste it." ”
When the wine in the pot calmed down, Wang Yue took out the charcoal.
"This is my unique way of drinking, others generally don't know, you taste it," took out the jade cup, Wang Yue poured a cup, and handed it to Chu Jiang.
The corners of Chu Jiang's mouth raised slightly, took it, drank it all in one gulp, the entrance was sweet, but it was in the throat, and after entering the stomach, a hot breath rose up, but it was not stimulating, "Good wine!"
Wang Yue saw that Chu Jiang did not hesitate at all, and his favorability suddenly increased, "Yes, snow wine is fermented at a low temperature, but in the end, the aroma and taste of the finished wine are partially locked, and it is usually heated to release it, but at the same time, the alcohol loss is serious in the long-term heating process." ”
"When I put this charcoal into the wine, it is like pouring a fire on the oil, making it boil immediately, and it will last for a short time, and it will cool down quickly," Wang Yue said with a straight face, tearing off a piece of Chu Jiang's dried meat in the process.
"Miss, your body is already cold, you can't be greedy for a cup in the middle of the night," the two servants stepped forward to remind Wang Yue.
Wang Yue pouted, "Okay, I said I know, just drink three cups." ”
Originally, the Fang family also wanted to match Chu Jiang with two subordinates, but Chu Jiang refused, and he had not yet reached the point where he needed someone to take care of him.
"It's just a cup like this," Wang Yue took out a jade cup the size of a fist with a cunning face, I'm afraid that the whole pot of wine is not enough for her three glasses.
Satisfied, he poured a cup, and suddenly, with a ding, the jade cup shattered.
"Someone sneaked up!"
Chu Jiang grabbed a burning thick branch and slashed back, revealing a figure under the shaking firelight.
The figure held a sword and cut off the wooden branches, approaching Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang took a few steps back, the corners of his mouth went up, and he disappeared.
The sneak attacker suddenly lost his target, slightly stunned, and in the next second, a fine iron sword pierced out of his chest.
On the other side, Wang Yue, who wasted wine because he broke the wine glass, was full of anger, and used a long Xiao to hit the fatal place everywhere, and it was the first time he saw Chu Jiang, who regarded Xiao as a sword envoy.
"Who attacked it?"
Chu Jiang's divine sense poked out, "I can afford to look down on the three of us." ”
Dense figures appeared in Chu Jiang's mind, there were hundreds of people, and Chu Jiang captured the breath of the two spiritual platform realms.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Chuhe's carriage exploded, and a thick white mist dispersed from it.
"Those two Lingtai realms are actually specifically dealing with Chen Chuhe," feeling the fierce battle on Chen Chuhe's side, Chu Jiang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You can still laugh at this time," Wang Yue, who noticed that something was wrong, converged with Chu Jiang and looked at Chu Jiang with a foolish gaze.
Chu Jiang didn't care, "Don't you want to cry?" Don't worry, those two Lingtai Realms have been handed over to Chen Chuhe, we just need to solve these little shrimps." ”
"This is a small shrimp, this is ......"
Before he finished speaking, the dormant figures around him swarmed up.
Wang Yue no longer hidden, stood up Changxiao, a melodious Xiao sound sounded, the temperature around him plummeted, the small snowflakes that had originally fallen stopped in the air, and the next second they strangled towards the rushing crowd like sharp gears.
Chu Jiang completely hid his figure, and the more mixed the situation, the more beneficial it was to Chu Jiang.
Every time Chu Jiang appears, he will definitely harvest a person's life, just like a ghost.
Wang Yue also sensed Chu Jiang's supernatural concealment technique, controlled the snowflakes to boil, and created conditions for him.
On the other side, Chen Chuhe exuded a strong cold aura all over his body, and once he got close to his surroundings, even the operation of the soul power in his body would be affected.
The ice in the sky is like an arm, and it is equal to the two Lingtai realms, and it is even easy to play.
"Retreat!"
One person in the Lingtai Realm shouted, and the few remaining sneak attackers did not love the battle, and immediately broke away from the battle and disappeared.
Chu Jiang and the others did not pursue and let them leave.
The fluttering snowflakes returned to normal and slowly fell, melting into the blood and water everywhere.
