Chapter 35: Arrival at Chuwu
Wang Bao turned over and jumped up, at this time he finally understood that Zhong Zihao was a strong opponent, tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and concentrated on fighting with all his strength. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he found that this kid's body was too fast, and he saw a sword light flashing in front of him, and it was "Ice and Snow Hanmei". In the face of this sword, Rao is Wang Leopard was already a master of the second order of Juyuan, and he also felt a little danger, so he could only dodge back.
However, Zhong Zihao did not wait for the sword to make him old, and the Qingfeng sword went horizontally, and the "wind cut" had flashed to the neck of Wang Leopard. Frightened, Wang Bao dodged while raising his knife to resist, but he didn't completely dodge it after all, and his entire left arm was cut off by Zhong Zihao.
At this time, no matter how stupid Zhao Fu was, he understood what was going on, so he stabbed straight with his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at Wang Leopard's chest. Wang Leopard didn't care about the pain, the Yuan Force of his whole body was running wildly, and the one-zhang long sword qi slashed out angrily, which could withstand Zhao Fu's fatal sword.
But before he could rejoice in it, he suddenly felt a cold neck, and then saw a headless corpse appear in front of him, getting farther and farther away. But it was Zhong Zihao's second "wind cut" that took his life.
"Thank you!" Zhao Fu hugged Zhong Zihao with his fist, and then went straight to the martial artist surnamed Yuan to help him kill Li Jun.
Li Jun naturally found out about the situation here, and immediately wanted to escape, but the warrior surnamed Yuan didn't fight with him, and dragged him to death.
Zhong Zihao looked around the battle situation, and then turned back to Qian Qishan to kill.
The martial artists who fought with Qian Qishan were so lucky, although there were four martial artists who practiced ninth-order cultivation to besiege together, but they were all injured, and Wu Dinghao among them was still seriously injured, and he was hit by a sword in the lower abdomen.
But everyone saw the form, and two more eighth-order martial artists of the Zhou family came in. Their idea was very simple, they wanted to drag Qian Qishan and prevent him from escaping, and the result was one death and one injury.
When Zhong Zihao arrived, another ninth-order martial artist was also cut off by Qian Qishan. However, when he saw Zhong Zihao coming, he laughed and felt that his efforts were worth it.
Seeing Zhong Zihao coming straight to him, Qian Qishan was shocked, and he took a sword and a palm, and quickly fled to the side. Feixue stepped out in an instant, and Zhong Zihao immediately chased after Qian Qi Mountain. The other ninth-order martial artists who practiced physique also turned around and killed the eighth-order and seventh-order robbers.
Those robbers saw that the leader was dead and fled, and the only one was Li Jun, the master of Juyuan, who was also scarred under the attack of the two masters, and he had no fighting will. I don't know who took the lead, and the other robbers also scattered violently, scattering as birds and beasts, only hating that my father and mother had two legs.
So far, this battle can be regarded as a complete victory.
When Zhong Zihao came back from killing Qian Qishan, after the robbers left more than 30 corpses, they ran away and disappeared, and Li Jun was also killed, but Zhao Fu was injured, presumably caused by Li Jun's death-defying blow. Among his own men and horses, more than a dozen people were killed and more than 30 were wounded, and most of these casualties were low-level martial artists and the Zhou family.
Along the way, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Even though he was injured, Zhao Fu stepped forward with the support of Zhou Futong, and saluted Zhong Zihao in unison: "Thank you little brother for your help, please forgive me for being negligent before!" I don't know the little brother's surname? ”
Zhong Zihao hurriedly returned the salute: "Where, I was hired by you, this is what I should have done." Besides, this time it is also a credit to everyone who has worked together. Finally, he added, "My name is Zhong Zihao." ”
Zhao Fu is a bold man, and when he heard this, he said: "The little brother is not only excellent in martial arts, but also humble, and he is really the dragon and phoenix among people." Being able to get to know you, little brother, is a great pleasure in my Zhao Fu's life! ”
The martial artist surnamed Yuan also stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The little brother is so talented and strong, the ninth order of physical training has the strength of the second order of Juyuan, which is really the only one seen in Yuan's life!" ”
Zhong Zihao could only return the gift again: "Pass the prize!" He couldn't even smile bitterly, didn't he just fight together, kill a few robbers, and wear such a big hat for me?
In fact, he didn't know that these were the true words of the old man surnamed Zhao Fu Yuan, they had traveled south and north for many years, and the talented people they saw were all children of the great families of the Great Gate Sect, which one was not arrogant and could get along with them like Zhong Zihao, and he really hadn't seen it.
Zhou Rui and Xiaojing also came to him, and Ying Ying bowed: "Thank you for saving your life!" After speaking, he buried his head in silence, his pale face flushed slightly red, and Xiaojing looked at him with wide eyes.
"Miss Zhou is polite, you don't have to worry about it!"
Zheng Jue was embarrassed, and a man about fifty years old stepped forward, bowed down and said: "This son, the little nephew is young and ignorant and bumped into you, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as him!" ”
This person Zhong Zihao recognized that it was Wu Dinghao's third uncle, and he didn't treat Wu Dinghao as the same thing, so he couldn't afford to deal with them. What's more, when he was fighting the robbers just now, Wu Dinghao did not run away and tried his best to fight the war; Now that the parents have come to apologize, they don't have to take it to heart.
After this person left, Zhou Futong stepped forward again, with an extra package in his hand, and handed it to Zhong Zihao: "Zhong Gongzi, these are the belongings of Wang Hu and others, and they should be handed over to you." ”
Zhong Zihao was not polite, this was originally his spoils, and after taking it, half of it was divided and sent back to Zhou Futong.
It was getting late, and the team continued to set off after resting for half an hour, and finally came out of the mountain range at the end of the day.
Rest for the night and continue on the road the next day. Because the convoy had many wounded, its speed slowed down, and it arrived at Chuwu City on the morning of the fourth day from the time it left Hongyang City.
After arriving in Chuwu City, Zhou Futong will be busy, and he will distribute commissions for all warriors outside the city, and for the injured, it will be increased by two percent, and as for the dead, it will be paid according to three times the amount of this employment. In one fell swoop, he won the applause of all the warriors, and they expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Zhou family again.
It is worth mentioning that after Zhou Futong gave Zhong Zihao a reward, he secretly gave him another three hundred taels of gold.
At the time of parting, Zhao Fu and the warrior surnamed Yuan sent Zhong Zihao to give up. As for Zhou Rui, she has long become a tearful person.
"Rui'er, we and Zhong Gongzi are not from the same world, you can take this experience as a memory." This is what Zhou Futong said to his daughter.
Zhong Zihao walked freely, but he didn't know how many people had remembered him in their hearts.
As for the safety of the Zhou family's return trip, he was not worried at all. The remaining robbers can be reported to the city lord's mansion in Chu Wu City to encircle and suppress, even if they can't be all wiped out, they can't pose a threat to the Zhou family's convoy.
After entering Chu Wu City, Zhong Zihao was rarely leisurely, and he sighed all the way: "Compared with Ayalan City, Chu Wu City is a step higher in terms of the overall strength of the martial arts and the degree of commercial prosperity. ”
The history of Chuwu Castle is much older than that of Ayalan Castle, with ancient trees and wide streets in the city, and all kinds of buildings revealing a quaint atmosphere.
Before he had gone half a circle, it was past noon, and Zhong Zihao casually found a restaurant to eat.
"Guess what the duel between Chu Gongzi and Hu Haoran will be in three days?" Suddenly, the voices of the three young people near the table increased and reached Zhong Zihao's ears. Listening to the voice, there was a clear smell of excitement, and all three were young men, ranging from seventeen to twenty years old.
"Needless to say, Chu Gongzi has been promoted to the first order of Juyuan a year ago, where will Hu Haoran be his opponent?" A person next to him said.
"You can't say that, Hu Haoran is a ninth-order cultivator after all, and Chu Xiong is older than him." The slightly older young man spoke, and after speaking, he seemed to sigh, "The Hu family has finally come out with a genius, but it is extremely uncompetitive, it seems that the Hu family will have a hard time?" ”
Zhong Zihao was puzzled, and the young man who spoke last was obviously more optimistic about the martial artist surnamed Hu, but he seemed to be very disappointed in him, this is the matter of that file?
But he didn't care, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him. Zhong Zihao left after eating, and several people continued to talk.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhong Zihao went to find a place to stay. This time, he was going to stay in Chu Wucheng for a while, so he didn't have a guest house. It wasn't until dark that he spent ten taels of gold in the eastern part of the city and rented a small courtyard for a month. Perhaps because the Zhong Mansion was also located in the east of the city, he habitually went to the east of the city to find a place to live.
After tidying up the room and putting the package down, I suddenly remembered that the loot from the previous two days had not been checked. At that time, Zhou Futong handed him the belongings of Wang Hu, Wang Bao and others, and he took half of it, stuffed it directly into the package without looking closely. In addition to these, the items he obtained from chasing Qian Qishan were not cleaned up.
It was rare to have this time, Zhong Zihao slowly sorted it out, but it startled him. The harvest of the two packages added up, and the silver ticket exceeded five hundred taels of gold, which was the reason why he divided half of the package sent by Zhou Futong.
These silver tickets, together with the four hundred taels he brought and obtained from his employment, exceeded 1,500 taels of gold, and they could all be used to buy the primary treasures of the spiritual product.
There is also a book of martial arts and swordsmanship, just ordinary swordsmanship, Zhong Zihao practiced swords, and he didn't look at this much, so he put it aside. In the end, his eyes were fixed on the two jade bottles in the baggage given by Zhou Futong, and his heart was surging.
The two jade bottles were labeled with the words "Qi Gathering Pill", which were obviously filled with pills. When the cap of the bottle was opened, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the whole room, and the fragrance hit the face, which made people feel refreshed when they heard it. From the intensity of the smell, it can be determined that more bottles are spiritual primary elixirs, and less are spiritual medium elixirs.
The Qi Gathering Pill was originally taken by the masters of the Juyuan Realm, which could accelerate the speed at which the martial artists condensed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and a spiritual primary-grade pill was worthy of the first-order martial artists of the Juyuan Gathering Yuan for ten consecutive days, which was equivalent to three days of second-order cultivation and one day of third-order cultivation of the Gathering Yuan.
Of course, there are also great benefits for ninth-order martial artists who practice physical fitness, but the martial artists who practice physical realm cannot store heaven and earth yuan power in their bodies, and the usage rate is too low, wasting elixir. Also, ordinary ninth-order martial artists who practice physical fitness do not dare to take it, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power contained a large amount of Qi Gathering Pill, and a martial artist with a poor physical foundation may be able to burst his muscles and veins by its huge medicinal power.
The Qi Gathering Pill was completely different from the spiritual materials such as the cane tree root and the ink Jiao blood he purchased at that time, and the pill had to be condensed by the alchemist, and the medicinal effect was several times better, and its value was also the judgment of cloud mud.
Relatively speaking, spiritual herbs are easy to find, but pills are difficult to practice. Moreover, there are different kinds of medicinal materials needed in a pill, ranging from a few to hundreds, and there is also the problem of the success rate. So, the price difference is almost ten times.
