"Huh?" Xue Zong didn't expect this dramatic reversal, and hurriedly waved his hand.

Ye Zi saw the nine-foot-tall man kneeling in front of Xue Zong, he felt funny, and said sarcastically: "Ah, the little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but she didn't find that there were two first heroes in this barren mountain and wilderness, a good man, take me as an apprentice." As he spoke, he picked up the hem of his skirt with both hands and gave a salute to Xue Zong.

Seeing that the kings were all kneeling down to Xue Zong, the one-eyed Liu hurriedly motioned to all the brothers to throw away the knives and guns, and "poof, poof" all knelt on the ground.

Xue Zong was very embarrassed, he didn't look down on Cao Kou who was the king of the mountain from the bottom of his heart, but seeing that Zhou Cang was so pious, it was not easy to refuse, so he just shook his head and waved his hand, while looking at Ye Zi, and asked her to give her an idea.

Although Zhou Cang was rude, he was not lacking in heart, he saw that Xue Zong had been giving Ye Zi a look, and immediately understood who was the one who said it, so he turned to Ye Zi and said: "Master, it's good, accept me as an apprentice, don't look at me as the king of the mountain, but never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, give me a chance." ”

"Phew, I'm not your wife, how dare a little girl climb the world's number one hero. But it's okay to give you a chance, I'm a little tired after a night of tossing, if you entertain you properly, I'll let him take you as an apprentice. As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Xue Zong.

Zhou Cang nodded again and again, stood up and greeted everyone to go up the mountain to rest.

At this time, Lu Zhuang had already loosened the ties on the people of the caravan, and looking at the development of the current situation, he didn't expect Xue Zong to easily subdue Zhou Cang, and now he invited everyone to go up the mountain.

Although Yao Lao has some scruples, since Xue Zong is here, he has some guarantees.

And so they all went up up the mountain together. Zhou Cang and Xue Zong chatted while walking, and during the conversation, they learned that Zhou Cang was also a citizen of Athens, and he was obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, so he was so uneven.

A few years ago, during the civil strife in Athens, Zhou Cang couldn't get used to the Luda family bullying people and exploiting the people, and accidentally killed an official of the Luda family, so he fled.

Later, the grass fell under the Alkan Snow Mountain, and it was really a last resort. Zhou Cang introduced to Xue Zong as he walked that most of his subordinates were poor people who couldn't get by, and they were also desperate to go up the mountain. Although he is called a bandit, he has his own fields on the mountain and is self-sufficient. On weekdays, he is chivalrous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and has a good reputation for buying and selling with the common people. Therefore the power is growing, and now there are more than 300 brethren on the mountain.

Xue Zong and Ye Zi reviewed it and found that what Zhou Cang said was true, and they admired it very much.

The three of them came to the Juyi Hall and sat down for a banquet and talk. Zhou Cang also carefully instructed his subordinates to treat the people of the caravan well and arrange them properly, so he was relieved.

During the banquet, Xue Zong briefly explained his origin and the purpose of going to the Algan Snow Mountain.

Zhou Cang frowned when he heard this, and stopped talking.

Ye Zi observed carefully and asked, "Hey, I said Zhou Cang, do you have something to hide from my eldest brother, and do you want him to take you as an apprentice?"

"How dare you. Zhou Cang sighed and said, "Okay, let me tell you, master, don't go to the Algan Snow Mountain, don't go back to Athens, just be a leader on my mountain, what do you think?"

Xue Zong was surprised and said, "How do you say this?"

Zhou Cang explained: "Master doesn't know, recently I have passed by a lot of fleeing refugees at the foot of the mountain, all of them are from the direction of the Ottoman Empire, and if you listen to their intentions, they may be about to fight. ”

Ye Zi listened to the willow eyebrows, she actually vaguely felt the delicate situation in Athens, but she didn't expect the war to really start.

Xue Zong was an anxious person, and as soon as he heard that Athens might have to fight, he couldn't sit still, and said, "Yezi, do you think this is possible?"

"Well, I don't think eight or nine is far from ten. ”

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry back to Athens to help in the war!"

"No, I can't. Ye Zi shook his head vigorously and said, "The top priority now is to find the [Dragon Blood Essence] quickly, you alone can't control the battle situation, so it's better to care more about yourself, big brother." ”

"Then I can't sit idly by. Xue Zong was anxious.

Ye Zi motioned for Xue Zong to calm down, and then said: "I heard that [Dragon Blood Essence] is the best treasure, not only can it relieve the poison on your body, but also greatly increase the skill of those who practice martial arts, if you get this thing, maybe you really have the ability to turn the tide of the battle." ”

"Master, that's the second thing I want to say. Zhou Cang interjected on the side.

"Don't go up to the Algan Snow Mountain at this time, recently a group of black-robed walkers of unknown origin have also set their sights on the [Dragon Blood Essence]. These people are all murderous people who don't blink, and legend has it that their chief leader is the female demon Hua Ying. She did everything she could to collect the precious medicinal materials in the world, I don't know where she heard that there is also the one you said on this mountain...... Oh, by the way, the [Dragon Blood Essence] only went up the mountain a few days ago, and it would be too dangerous for the master to go now. ”

Xue Zong and Ye Zi were silent when they heard this, they knew that they were alone, and going was tantamount to death.

Ye Zi blinked his autumn eyes and looked at Xue Zong, "Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"Haha, Yezi, since you already know my idea, why do you bother to ask again? Of course, I want to get the [Dragon Blood Essence] first and then go back to save Athens. ”

"Hee-hee, this is my eldest brother. Ye Zi smiled with satisfaction.

Zhou Cang also nodded frequently on the side, and exclaimed: "This is not a loss to my master, it is really a big husband!"

After the discussion was settled, Xue Zong wanted to persuade the caravan to live here in Zhoucang for the time being, and it was too dangerous to go to Azir Snow Mountain now. At this moment, a little minion ran in in a panic and announced, "Report to the king, the old man of Yao Lao didn't know why he locked himself in the house and threatened to hang himself." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked, and they didn't know what happened to the old man, so they quickly put down their wine glasses and followed the little minions to the old man's door.

When he looked up, as expected, the door of Yaolao's house was tightened, and his granddaughter Xiangxiang fell into Lu Zhuang's arms and cried.

Xue Zong hurriedly stepped forward to ask what happened to Lu Zhuang.

Lu Zhuang briefly explained what happened. It turned out that since he met Zhou Cang and other robbers on the road, Yao Lao had strengthened his determination to find a way to let his granddaughter Xiangxiang marry Xue Zong, even if it was not the main house, only in this way could he feel at ease.

So, after resting on the mountain for a while, Yao Lao began his own strategy package.

To Yao Lao's surprise, when she and her granddaughter Xiangxiang talked about how to make Xue Zong like her, Xiangxiang replied bluntly that she just regarded Xue Zong as her eldest brother, and she didn't like Xue Zong, or she didn't like the kind of like she wanted to marry him.

In fact, Xiangxiang still has a layer of meaning that I didn't say: anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xue Zong and Ye Zi are a natural pair, talented and beautiful, and they are a good match. If you rob Xue Zong, it will be so disgraceful, and I'm sorry for the leaves.

Yao Lao shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Silly daughter, the world is not like before, there is a trend of chaos in the world, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, marry a capable person, and live honestly for the rest of your life." ”

How could Yao Lao understand that Xiangxiang had already secretly promised that person was Lu Zhuang. For a person's love and longing, it is enough to make a girl give up the so-called glory and wealth, happiness and stability, and only want to stay with the person she loves for the rest of her life is the happiest thing.

After that, Yao Lao said a lot of things, and tried his best to speak, but Xiangxiang just didn't listen. The old man was angry and threatened to hang himself.

After listening to Xiangxiang's story, everyone really couldn't cry or laugh, and there was really no way to hold the old man. Although everyone didn't believe that Yao Lao really wanted to hang himself, the matter had to be resolved.

The big guy took turns to administer drugs and did ideological work, persuading him to open the door quickly, and he had something to say. But Yao Lao said that he would not agree to anything, unless Xiangxiang agreed to marry Xue Zong immediately.
