Three miles away from the place of battle, Zhong Zihao opened the package he received from Li Chang, took out the silver ticket and pills, and dug a pit far away from the main road to bury the package, and then slowly counted the harvest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After counting twice, Zhong Zihao believed this fact, all the silver tickets and items on Li Chang's body were worth no more than thirty taels of gold.

"That spooky guy is so poor?" Zhong Zihao was puzzled.

How did he know that Li Chang was lustful, and whenever he had money, he spent it on women's bellies. This time, I finally got serious and was ready to marry the eldest lady of a small family, but I didn't expect the dowry to be raised, but I died in Huangquan.

Shaking his head, Zhong Zihao continued to hurry, and after half an hour, he came to Xihe Town.

I found an ordinary inn, asked for an upper room, and lived in.

Snowy nights are silent. In the middle of the night, it did not alarm the whole patchwork of the world, nor did it alarm this town, which was a hundred times quieter than the city. The snow came from the high to the low, not bothering anyone, anything.

The night is slowly getting brighter, and the world seems to be regaining its bright eyes.

After practicing the soft water recipe and the sharp gold technique, Zhong Zihao lay quietly on the bed. Speaking of which, he hadn't been so comfortable for a long time, whether it was in the Zhong Mansion or in the Yueying Mountains. When he was in Zhongfu, he would seize all the time to practice and practice martial arts, and in the Yueying Mountains, he needed to be more vigilant against the fierce beasts and monsters that acted at night.

At this time, being in an inn, it is obviously not suitable for practicing martial arts; For a small town like Xihe Town, his cultivation can cope with most emergencies, so he can relax.

It is rare to have such free time, Zhong Zihao has thought about everything that has happened in the past few years, including every fight, summarizing his shortcomings, or thinking about improvements. In the end, he focused on Tingyu Pavilion and the Xu family.

Needless to say, this mysterious and powerful sect, let alone itself, I believe that the martial artists of the entire Ayalan City have never heard of it. Of course, he believed that it was not Elder Lu who deceived him, but that this sect was so mysterious and powerful that Zhong Qingyuan, who was at the peak of the Juyuan Realm, was not qualified to know about it.

It's not about cultivation, it's about identity, and I believe that only the core people at the same level know its existence. This undoubtedly enhanced Zhong Zihao's cultivation passion, and he wanted to reach the peak of martial arts as soon as possible and have a glimpse of the mainland's demeanor.

And the Xu family is a cancer in front of them, and the other party has blatantly tracked and even killed him many times. If you want to say that the Xu family has no plans for the Zhong family, they don't believe him if they kill him. At this time, Zhong Zihao can be completely sure that the death of the uncle and aunt is absolutely inseparable from the Xu family.

Moreover, this matter may also involve the Wang family. There are three major families in Ayalan City, and the two families are fighting, and there is no doubt that the Wang family has benefited the most, and it is impossible for the Xu family not to think of this. Grandpa's frequent retreats and keeping the family business intact show that the Zhong family has realized this.

Judging from the current development of the situation, it may not be long before the major forces in Ayalan City will reshuffle. It's just that his cultivation is too low, and he can't help at all.

Thinking of this increasingly severe form, it strengthened Zhong Zihao's martial arts heart, only strong strength can protect everything he cherishes.

In a trance, it was late at night. He ran the exercises again before he fell asleep with his clothes.

The next morning, the sky cleared. Zhong Zihao left the inn and headed north, spending three nights on the way, and finally arrived at Hongyang City before dark on the fourth day.

It didn't snow again for a few days, and it seemed that winter had slowly passed, and I could feel the breath of spring more and more.

Not long after entering the city, Zhong Zihao found a good inn to live in, and immediately ordered a big meal to comfort his five internal organs temple.

While eating, he sighed: "It seems that the life of traveling the world is not as wonderful as the legend, and it has suffered my feet and stomach in the past few days." I knew I should have bought a horse to go on the road. ”

In fact, he didn't think about using a horse as a substitute, but when he went out, there was a lot of snow on the ground, and he didn't travel much faster than a warrior on horseback, so he gave up this plan. However, because the heavy snow had just stopped, there were few pedestrians on the road, and he was walking alone for several days, which was inevitably monotonous, so he had this idea.

After filling my stomach, I practiced the exercises again before going to bed.

In his sleep, he saw a kind old man who wanted to take him as an apprentice. After waking up, I couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason that the martial artist's mental mind is concentrated, and it is not easy to hallucinate, not to mention that he is also a swordsman, and the swordsman's will is more determined, and he really can't understand how he can dream, or this kind of absurd and bizarre dream.

As soon as the morning dawned, Zhong Zihao left the inn and prepared to find a red lin horse to walk. The Red Horse is a descendant of the Red Beast and ordinary horses, and has no special speed skills, but it has a lot of strength and endurance, and can gallop day and night for two days. Of course, the selling price is not low, generally around fifty taels of gold.

After asking a lot of passers-by, it took half an hour to finally come to the trading bazaar. It's a pity that Zhong Zihao is unlucky, I heard that yesterday, more than 20 Chilin horses here were bought, and if you want to wait for the next batch to arrive, it will take at least five days.

He walked out of the market with a gloomy face, and was about to find another way, when he suddenly saw a young man in his thirties blocking his way. Zhong Zihao frowned and was about to ask, but the other party spoke up first: "Little brother, but do you want to buy a red lin horse to hurry?" ”

Does the other party have horses for sale? Thinking about it, Zhong Zihao nodded and replied: "Exactly!" ”

The young man was obviously a little excited, and continued to ask, "I wonder where the little brother is going?" ”

Zhong Zihao's eyes were cold, and he didn't answer. People are unpredictable, and this person actually asks where others are going, and it is likely that he has bad intentions.

The young man also found that he was too excited and forgot about his business, so he hurriedly explained: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, my master went to Chuwu City to do business, and he needs to recruit a group of martial artists to accompany him. The Chilin horse here is exactly what my master bought, and I just saw that you seem to want to buy a horse, so I asked this question. ”

As he spoke, he saluted Zhong Zihao with his fists and continued: "Of course, following our convoy, the speed will be much slower, and it is estimated that it will take three or four days to reach Chuwu City." If the little brother has a heart, let's continue to talk? ”

After listening to the reason, Zhong Zihao also loosened his brows, hugged his fists and saluted back, and said, "It's okay, please speak?" ”

Seeing that Zhong Zihao did not refuse, the young man was overjoyed, and felt that there was a lot of hope this time. Moreover, he himself is a cultivator of the eighth order of physical training, and he can't see through Zhong Zihao's realm, it must be the ninth order of physical training, and if he finds it back for the master, it will also be a big help.

"The martial artists recruited by our lord are required to practice the seventh order or above. From here to Chu Wu City for three days, if you encounter robbers on the road, you need everyone's help. In terms of commissions, the seventh order of physical training is thirty taels of gold, the eighth order is fifty taels of gold, and the ninth order is one hundred taels of gold; If there is a master of the first order of Juyuan, the reward is three hundred taels of gold. ”

In terms of gold, Zhong Zihao doesn't look at it, but he can have a carriage to travel, and there is less monotony of rushing alone, why not? Besides, he didn't encounter any robbers when he came here from Ayalan City, so he didn't think his luck would be too bad. So he agreed: "Okay, I'm a ninth-order cultivator, when will I go?" ”

The young man was overjoyed: "Tomorrow morning, gather at the gate of the north city, my lord's surname is Zhou." ”

After Zhong Zihao nodded in response, the young man continued: "Little brother can go to Zhou's house in the west of the city to report in advance, or you can arrange your own time, just meet tomorrow morning, I'll go and get busy first." After saying that, he clasped his fists again and saluted, and then looked for other warriors and left.

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhong Zihao only felt a little dramatic, just felt that it was monotonous to rush alone, and he immediately encountered such an errand, it seems that God knows him very well. So I went out of the bazaar, bought some scraps, and returned to the inn to practice.

The road of martial arts is important in perseverance, no matter how good the talent is, you can't have much success if you don't practice hard. After running the exercises a few times, Zhong Zihao began to ponder the fusion of the Drifting Snow Sword Technique again. The power of the first two moves after the fusion is extremely great, especially the "Polar Slash" is almost his trick at the bottom of the box, so he has high expectations for the power of this set of swordsmanship after the fusion.

It's just that the fusion of swordsmanship is too difficult, although it is not as good as self-created martial arts, but it is not achievable by ordinary geniuses, and a day has passed, for the fusion of the fourth move "Aoxue Cover Mountain", Zhong Zihao has not figured out a clue. But he is not discouraged, believing that as long as he works hard, he can always achieve it.

As soon as the next day dawned, Zhong Zihao retreated from the inn and came to the gate of the North City.

In the distance, I saw more than thirty carriages parked together. About twenty of them were full of goods, ten carriages were obviously used for carrying people, and a large flag was planted on the front carriage. The flagpole is about one zhang high, and there is a big word "Zhou" floating on the flag. It seems that it must be the Zhou family team.

There were also a lot of martial artists gathered next to him, and as far as Zhong Zihao could see, there were more than thirty martial artists from the seventh to the ninth order who practiced physique.

Seeing Zhong Zihao coming this way, the warrior of the Zhou family, who was looking for him yesterday, hurriedly stepped forward and brought him to a man in his forties.

The forty-year-old man is the owner of this team, named Zhou Futong. The Zhou family is in the medicinal materials business, and usually hires a convoy to transport medicinal materials to Chuwu City. But the heavy snowfall for a month or two has accumulated a lot of medicinal herbs, and the scale of the first transportation of the year is very large.

There is another person next to Zhou Futong, who is nearly forty years old, and he is a second-order master of Juyuan. This person is Zhao Fu, the worldly friend of the Zhou family, who is a master of using knives, and every year the Zhou family transports medicinal materials for the first time, he will personally help lead the team.

Seeing Zhong Zihao coming, Zhao Fu whispered a few words in Zhou Futong's ear, and then Zhou Futong's eyes lit up and he took a few steps with Zhao Fu. Just now Zhao Fu told him that the teenage boy in front of him had this ninth-order cultivation, and Zhou Futong, as a businessman, had traveled a lot from south to north, and the first thing he thought of was that the other party's background was not simple, if he was not a child of a big family, he was a disciple of a big sect.

"Welcome to join the little brother, I am Zhou Futong, the steward of the team, and I have to ask everyone for more help along the way." Zhou Futong hugged his fist.

"Where to speak, it's easy to say. If you need it, do your best to help. Zhong Zihao also returned the salute with a fist. Originally, he hired everyone, and he couldn't say who owed whom, but this Zhou Futong was very good at being a man and speaking decently, so he naturally won his favor.
