Chapter 10: Journey to the Northlands
"Next, Zhang Huanchu, the housekeeper of Hujiazhuang, how do the two of you plan to end this situation now," Zhang Chunan put his hands behind his back and looked at Yang Yunhui and Cao Zixiao calmly.
"He was the one who attacked first!" Yang Yunhui said immediately.
"That's right, then you don't need to put down such a heavy hand," Zhang Huanchu touched Hu's worried pulse.
"It's not heavy, he's going to cut my hand!"
"Hmph, how noble our young master is, now you cut off a hand yourself, and I will let you go!"
"Joke, there is no heavenly reason, do you think that your Hujiazhuang is the king of heaven!" Cao Zixiao scolded.
"Hmph, that's sorry!"
Zhang Huanchu didn't talk nonsense, he directly grabbed Yang Yunhui in the air and fell to the ground.
Cao Zixiao immediately swung out a sword qi and went straight towards Zhang Huanchu's chest.
I didn't see any movement from Zhang Huanchu, and the sword qi actually dissipated a meter away from him.
"Hmph, carving insect skills!"
Zhang Huanchu took out a pair of iron gloves from behind him and walked directly towards Yang Yunhui.
"Hah!"
Cao Zixiao shouted, jumped off the horse, and stabbed Zhang Huanchu with a single sword.
Ding! Ding!
In several consecutive encounters, Zhang Huanchu's iron gloves easily defused the attack of the long sword.
"Damn! This guy is more skilled than me, this is in trouble!" Cao Zixiao said secretly in his heart.
"Your name is Cao Zixiao, right, a soldier who fled from Dak, just because you want to stop me, hahahaha!"
Cao Zixiao was a little anxious, because Zhang Huanchu stepped on Yang Yunhui's body.
"Hah!"
Cao Zixiao raised his sword again, bent his body slightly, and rushed forward, drilling behind Zhang Chunan from a low place.
Just as Cao Zixiao was about to pick up the sword, Zhang Huanchu's iron hand grabbed his long sword, and then only heard a crisp sound, and the long sword broke into two in response.
"Scrap your sword, hahahaha, uh!"
Zhang Huanchu's wild laughter was interrupted halfway.
A broken sword stuck in his back.
"Uh, cough..."
Zhang Huanchu coughed twice.
"You're all going to die today!!"
Suddenly, Zhang Huanchu's body shook, and the broken sword flew out with a pop. Cao Zixiao was also shocked and kept retreating.
Next, there was a stormy attack by Zhang Huanchu, and Cao Zixiao's helpless passive defense.
When he looked at it again, Zhang Huanchu had already appeared behind Cao Zixiao. Immediately, he grabbed his hair and made a half-circle like that. Cao Zixiao was in unbearable pain and fell 5 meters away in embarrassment.
"Hahahaha, no one is stopping me now!"
Zhang Huanchu picked up the broken sword from the ground and walked towards Yang Yunhui step by step.
"Boy, it's your fate, my owner doesn't want to die, so I just need one of your hands, hahahaha!"
Then, the broken sword in Zhang Huanchu's hand swung down.
"Ahh
It is not at all the imaginary picture of Yang Yunhui's arm being beheaded.
A white-gloved hand grabbed Zhang Huanchu's hair and ran all the way towards a big tree.
Boom!
Loud noise.
The leaves fall wildly.
Yang Yunhui thought he was finished, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. So he got up from the ground. The image in front of him made him feel cold.
A man in a tuxedo and a mask stood elegantly in front of him.
"Are you alright?" The masked man asked gently.
"Well, I'm fine, where's him!" Yang Yunhui pointed to Zhang Chunan, who had fallen under the big tree.
"It's okay, let him think about life for a while. ”
"Uncle Cao!"
Yang Yunhui helped Cao Zixiao up.
"This guy is a seven-rank down, it's normal that you can't beat him," the masked man said, pointing at Zhang Huanchu.
"Thank you for your help, we are grateful," Cao Zixiao hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the masked man.
"Hahaha, it's nothing, I just can't get used to the arrogance of this surname. ”
"Shhhh You are... Who dares to meddle with our Hujiazhuang affairs!"
At this time, Zhang Huanchu got up from the ground with his head in his hands, pointed at the masked man and said tremblingly.
"Get out! from now on, you must not embarrass them again, or you little Zhuangzi will wait to disappear!" The masked man directly pushed over with a word.
What else does Zhang Huanchu want to say.
The masked man threw a token directly at him.
Zhang Huanchu was frightened when he glanced at it, and without saying a word, he raised his worries and ran away.
This scene was very surprising in Yang Yunhui's eyes, who is this hero, so awesome.
"You don't need to be surprised, someone has entrusted me to help you, so hurry up and go to the imperial capital!" The masked man also understood the question in Yang Yunhui's heart and answered it directly.
"Can you tell me your name?"
"No, you'll find out later!"
After speaking, the masked man turned into a shining star and disappeared.
Only the stunned Yang Yunhui's Cao Zixiao was left.
After a while.
"Let's go too!" Cao Zixiao said softly.
So the two remounted their horses and continued to advance towards the imperial capital.
......
Hujiazhuang.
"Kui!"
Hu Dalang, the owner of the Hu family, stared at the word Kui on the iron plate in his hand and was speechless in surprise.
"Master, what should I do?" Zhang Huanchu gritted his teeth and said.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that this little Yang Lanze actually colluded with Kui Shendao!"
"Do you want to inform the lord of the castle?"
"No, you just pretend that this didn't happen, and don't provoke them in the future. ”
"Master of the family, is this the end of this matter!"
"Don't move!"
"Yes. ”
After Zhang Huanchu went out, Hu Dalang said quietly.
"Inform the Marquis of Benwolf that Kui Shendao has appeared in Nanshan City. ”
"Yes!"
A soft reply came from a dark corner of the room.
(Song Rui, Marquis of the Running Wolf of the Shire Kingdom, was in charge of the foreign military.) )
"Young owner, does it still hurt?" A family member rubbed medicine for Hu Xin's sorrow.
"Don't let me see him again, next time I want his two hands!"
......
Yang Yunhui, who was walking on the mountain road, suddenly trembled violently.
"Xiaohui, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, suddenly my body is very cold. ”
"Wear more clothes. ”
"Hmm. ”
Before they knew it, the two had been walking on the mountain road for ten days. Two cities were passed on the way. It was relatively safe along the way, and there were no bandits.
That night, the two set up camp on the edge of a small river.
A small fire was lit. There were a few fish grilled on the fire.
Looking at the sparks in the fire, Yang Yunhui couldn't help but think of the masked man he met when he was fighting with the second son of Hujiazhuang.
"Uncle Cao, what do you say is the identity of this mask hero, why do you want to help us?"
"I can't say this, such a strong skill, it should be an organized person, but I don't know what organization it is. ”
"He said that he was entrusted by men, and by whom did he be entrusted by him?"
"Xiaohui, do you know any big people?"
"No, I don't. ”
"This is strange, such a big master helps us, what is he trying to do?"
"Hey, he said that he would know the reason when he arrived in the imperial capital. ”
"The emperor has a big man waiting for you?"
"No, I don't know anyone. ”
"Strange. ”
The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with any results.
After a few days, another city was reached.
This is the city of Keba, named after a salt mine.
The two of them planned to replenish some food in the city of Keba.
Walking on the streets of the city, Yang Yunhui looked at the pedestrians along the way with some surprise.
"Those aren't from the Shire!" Yang Yunhui asked, pointing to a group of people wearing white spacious cloth robes and felt hats.
"That's the people of Dak. ”
"Duck, how did they get here?"
"For the sake of salt. ”
"Isn't there any salt in the country of Dak?"
"Do you know about smuggling?"
"Oh, that's right. ”
"Look at that woman, the one who wears white and wears a scarf on her face, she looks good!" Cao Zixiao suddenly changed the topic.
"Well, it's good-looking!"
"It's a noble woman, and you see all these Darks are circling around her. ”
"It's not that old. ”
"It's about the same as you, are you interested in getting to know each other? ”
"Ah, what is this, foreigner, where will she pay attention to me. ”
"Let's go buy some salt, too. ”
"Alas, Uncle Cao, let's go somewhere else to buy it. ”
"How can this be done, maybe there is only one seller of salt here. ”
Subsequently, Cao Zixiao ignored Yang Yunhui's obstruction and walked straight towards those Dake people.
"Hi, Lisa!" Cao Zixiao actually greeted the woman.
The Nadak woman heard the voice and looked back strangely.
"Hey, Lao Cao, why are you here? ”
Yang Yunhui was surprised, he didn't expect Cao Zixiao to actually know this woman, and they were already very familiar with chatting.
"Lao Cao, are you living in the Shire Kingdom now?"
"yes, I've got a job here. ”
"I envy you that you're a Shire now. ”
"It's just a fluke, what's going on with Duck's side now?"
"There was a lot of trouble in the east and west, and they fought several times, and a good country was divided. ”
"So how are you doing, have you been affected?"
"It must be affected, we belong to the west now, and the seaside is occupied by the east, so I'm not here to buy salt in the Shire. ”
After the two chatted for a while, Cao Zixiao seemed to remember Yang Yunhui. Immediately, he beckoned to Yang Yunhui.
"Lisa, let me introduce you, this is my employer, Yang Yunhui. ”
"Hello, you became the boss at a young age, you are amazing," Lisa looked at Yang Yunhui in surprise.
"No, no, no, Uncle Cao is employed by my father, and I'm not the boss yet," Yang Yunhui quickly shook his head.
"Oh, then you're a young master, and you're still amazing. ”
"Hahaha, Xiaohui, this is Lisa, my friend in Dake, she's a businessman," Cao Zixiao interrupted.
"Sister Lisa, you are about the same age as me, and you are a businessman, which is amazing," Yang Yunhui immediately called Lisa his sister.
"Hehe, Xiaohui, your mouth is so sweet. ”
After a while, Lisa finished her salt business, and she took the initiative to invite Yang Yunhui and Cao Zixiao to lunch at the hotel where she was staying.
......
"Your Charles' dishes are delicious," Lisa ordered.
"Okay, don't you have any of these dishes over there?" Yang Yunhui asked while looking at Lisa while eating.
"Yes, but it's expensive," Lisa wrinkled her pretty little nose, "Duck is in a mess right now, and prices are rising so much that I don't usually dare to eat these dishes." ”
"That's an exaggeration! Wouldn't it be a lot of money if you shipped some vegetables over and sold them!"
"No, I can't. ”
"Why?"
"The business of these dishes is controlled by other families, and I can't get involved. ”
"Isn't it okay to sell it secretly?"
"No, if I get caught, I'll be removed as a merchant. ”
"......" Yang Yunhui was a little speechless, he didn't expect the business rules here to be so strict.
"Lisa's family is specialized in the salt business, and this is a good business, and you can't lose the salt trade because of some vegetables," Cao Zixiao explained on the side.
