Seeing that the situation was not good, the dozens of people who fled far away, the blood-stained posture of Zhang Xiaopaw under the scorching sun and his domineering angry shout shocked the spirits, and they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and their livers trembled, and the cowardly ones were even so frightened that they took several big steps back.

So much so that even if they saw Zhang Xiaopu's body crumbling and needed to be supported by a long knife to stand without falling, it was clear that it was already the end of the crossbow, and they didn't dare to have ill intentions towards Zhang Xiaopu anymore, looking at Zhang Xiaopu's demon-like figure from afar, swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, turning around and running away.

"Ha-ha-ha-"

Zhang Xiaopu looked at the embarrassed appearance of these people fleeing, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, quite a bit of domineering who dares to compete in the world.

But he didn't know that his angry shouting and wild laughter earned him a well-known name in the rivers and lakes: the murderer Zhang Xiaopaw.

For these evil demons who don't do their jobs, this name is powerful and domineering, and ordinary people don't deserve it, so this name fully expresses their fear and respect for Zhang Xiaopaw.

But for the righteous path martial arts, this title is really difficult to say.

Think about it, at the martial arts conference, the heroes of all parties reported their names one by one.

Like what:

Iron Arm Divine Fist Whoever is who.

The Holy Hand Heals Whoever Who.

The desert knife is whoever is who.

And so on and so forth.

But when I got to Zhang Xiaopu, a sentence suddenly came out: "Murderous demon Zhang Xiaopaw, fortunately, I will be lucky!"

Then I am afraid that after reporting the name, it will be slaughtered by all the heroes from all sides to sacrifice to the sky.

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't know that these scum would give him such a wild name, otherwise he would have to catch up and reason with them.

These are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

What he needed right now was to meditate and heal immediately.

He took out the array flag and arranged it around, took another pill of Yuan Shi Jindan, and then sat down on the spot, his mind was open, and he separated a wisp of his mind, always paying attention to his surroundings and staying vigilant.

Dao power wrapped in the spiritual power of the Yuan Shi Jindan slowly flowed in the body, nourishing and repairing every wound, and with Zhang Xiaopaw's own strong physical recovery power, the wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not the first time that such a bad injury had appeared on him, so he was very calm.

The embodiment of the mind that was put away at the beginning of the battle to improve the combat power reappeared on their respective beaches.

A fourth boy appeared on the beach at Heart Gate.

Zhang Xiaopaw thought that the foundation of boxing had been solidified, and the fourth boy should bring a set of real boxing techniques, but it didn't go as he wanted, and the fourth boy actually brought a set of basic palm techniques, which he didn't expect.

Zhang Xiaopaw brushed away the disappointment in his heart, separated the seventh mind clone from his independent mind, and followed the fourth boy to practice the basic palm technique.

However, it is not easy to add this seventh mind clone.

"Hey—"

"Roar—"

"Whew-"

His thoughts were confused, and Zhang Qi sang and we appeared, punching for a while, roaring beasts for a while, casting talismans for a while, and clapping for a while-

It's not lively.

Zhang Xiaopaw was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the wound burst again and again, making him squeak and scream in pain, but his stubborn temper came up, and he just refused to put Zhang Qi away first, so he had to tame him.

"Crazy?"

"Maybe it's going crazy. ”

"It's a pity, what a good boy. ”

"Captain, those Jianghu people must have water and food on them, should we send a team of people to pick up a bargain?"

"Wait and see. ”

On the distant city wall, a small group of soldiers defending the city hid in the shade under the gatehouse, looking at the deranged Zhang Xiaopu and discussing, and coveting the battlefield that Zhang Xiaopu had not had time to clean.

They were all black and thin, their skin was rough and cracked, especially their lips, all of which were chapped and bloody.

Hearing the word "water", everyone's throat squirmed uncontrollably, and their eyes looked at Erli Blood Road with a greedy look.

But the captain's "wait and see" suppressed all their imminent greed.

The sun is slanting to the west mountains, and the dusk glow is scattered on the earth.

Clothe the city with a layer of gold, making it appear more magnificent and majestic, ancient and solemn, thick and stable.

Click-

The side door on the left side of the city gate opened, and ten soldiers in armor rushed out, it was the group of soldiers on duty on the city gate tower.

Ten people went out of the side door and ran straight in the direction where Zhang Xiaopu was, without the need to command to consciously line up in two teams, in a row of front and back, left and right in a row, the movements between the runs were neat, and even the breath was consistent, and the ten people were like one person, showing extremely strong military quality.

Three miles of flat avenue, ten people quickly rushed to the front.

But they didn't get close to Zhang Xiaopu, because they could see clearly on the city wall when Zhang Xiaopu set up the formation, and knew that Zhang Xiaopu's side seemed to be calm, but in fact, he was hiding murderous intentions, and he would be attacked once he crossed the line.

"Captain, the man is still alive. ”

"Shall we still clean the battlefield?"

They watched Zhang Xiaopu sitting on the ground from a distance on the city wall and did not move for an afternoon, thinking that Zhang Xiaopu had burped, but when they approached and felt Zhang Xiaopu's breath, they found that Zhang Xiaozhu was not dead, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The lieutenant captain glanced up at Erli Bloody Road, and saw several water bladders at a glance, but in the end he still took a deep breath, suppressed his greedy thoughts, and said: "Since the person is not dead, then these things are his trophies, and they are the things of the owner, so we don't want to violate military discipline and lose the face of the border guards because of a little foreign object." Let's go back. ”

"Yes. The other nine people forbade it, and there was not a single superfluous word.

Zhang Xiaopai's state of mind has been open, and a wisp of his mind is always vigilant around, and the appearance of these ten people has long been clearly seen by him.

Although the conversation between the ten people was only a few words, he probably understood the meaning of the ten people: they thought he was dead and wanted to clean up his battlefield and pick up some usable supplies.

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't care much about these loot, because on the way here, he killed several waves of roadblockers, and found that these guys who were not doing their jobs were all poor, and he seized more than 60 bags before and after, and he didn't find a single cultivation pill that could be seen.

It's not that he is hypocritical, but that he has more than 2,000 Yuan Shi Jin Dan, and he does have arrogant capital.

Coupled with the respect for the soldiers, even if these ten people did not greet him and cleaned up his battlefield, Zhang Xiaopaw would not mind too much.

However, what he didn't expect was that these ten people were so strict in military discipline.

Obviously, they were so hungry that they were so hungry that their lips burst out of blood, and food and water were placed not far in front of them, as long as they walked ten or twenty steps forward, they could get these long-awaited materials, but they were able to resolutely turn around and leave at the sound of an order.

Such strict military discipline, such a strong self-restraint, and the sense of honor of soldiers in their bones all made Zhang Xiaozu respectful.

"Wait a minute. Zhang Xiaopu shouted to stop the ten people who turned around to leave, got up and collected the formation.

The ten people were startled by Zhang Xiaopu's abrupt voice, and their left hand subconsciously held the scabbard on their waists, and once an accident happened, they could pull out the knife as soon as possible, and at the same time stopped and turned around to look at Zhang Xiaopaw who woke up.

"I'm sorry that we took the liberty of coming forward and disturbing our little brother. The lieutenant captain apologized to Zhang Xiaopu.

"It doesn't matter. Zhang Xiaopaw smiled and waved his hand.

"Little brother stopped me, what is the matter?" asked the lieutenant captain, without too many polite words.

Zhang straightened up and gave a military salute to the lieutenant captain.

The lieutenant captain couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhang Xiaopu's upright military salute, and just wanted to ask, he heard Zhang Xiaopaw say loudly: "Commander Qiyu, Yancheng superior cavalry Zhang Xiaoshu came to report, volunteered to join the border guards, and is willing to sacrifice his life for the peace of his family and country!"

Although he is from Baiyun City, he joined the army in Yancheng, and he carries a letter of recommendation from Qiu Zhan, so he calls himself the top cavalry of Yancheng.

In fact, if it is a meritorious award, his military rank is not necessarily lower than the lieutenant in front of him, but he did not accept the award, because once he officially accepts the military title, then he will become a real soldier, and he will have to be bound by military discipline and military discipline.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Qiu Zhan's recommendation this time was unruly, because it was impossible for the imperial army to train disciples for the sect gang.

"Are you a soldier of Yancheng?" the lieutenant asked in surprise.

"This is my letter of recommendation. Zhang Xiaopu took out the letter of recommendation written by Qiu Zhan from the mustard seeds in Sumeru and handed it to the lieutenant captain.

The ten people saw a letter popping out of thin air in Zhang Xiaopaw's hand, and their eyes invariably fell on the Sumeru mustard seed on the finger of Zhang Xiaopaw's left hand.

There was surprise, but not too much shock.

Because when Zhang Xiaopu was fighting before, they noticed that the bone knife appeared out of thin air in Zhang Xiaopaw's hand, and finally disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing it up close at this moment only confirmed their suspicion in their hearts that Zhang Xiaopu did have Sumeru mustard seeds on his body that stored items.

"Wealth is not exposed. When the lieutenant took the letter of recommendation, he kindly reminded him.

"Yes. Zhang Xiaopaw hurriedly nodded to be taught, he also felt that he had been a little arrogant and a little fluttering recently, and he had to correct his attitude in time.

"You fool!" After reading Zhang Xiaopu's letter of recommendation, the lieutenant couldn't help but glared at Zhang Xiaopu, and said, "Since you are a soldier, why don't you ask us for help?" We thought it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, so we didn't pay attention to it. ”

At the same time, he was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaopu to be recommended by Marshal Yancheng in a letter, and the end of the letter was even stamped with the marshal's tiger talisman seal, which shows how much Marshal Yancheng attaches importance to him.

However, thinking of Zhang Xiaopu's bravery and ferocity in fighting alone with more than 300 people before, the surprise in his heart was immediately relieved, if this brave young man can be carefully cultivated, he will definitely become an invincible tiger general.

"At that time, I was red-eyed and forgot. Zhang Xiaopaw scratched his head and laughed dryly.

The lieutenant folded the letter of recommendation and put it away and handed it back to Zhang Xiaopu, gave Zhang Xiaopu a military salute, and said: "The border guards welcome you to join! I will take you into the city to clean up first, and then take you to the military administration office to take the throne." ”

"Welcome!" the other nine also smiled and saluted Zhang.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaopaw returned the salute, then pointed to the sun slanting in the west, and said, "It's getting dark, and I have to trouble a few brothers to help clean up the battlefield." Can I ask for all the jade on them? The rest of the supplies will be distributed by the chief. ”

"This is your private battle before joining the border guards, and all the loot is yours and you don't need to turn it in. The lieutenant laughed.

"Then I will be the reward for asking my brothers to help clean up the battlefield. Zhang Xiaopu smiled, shook the Sumeru mustard seed in his left hand, and said, "I don't lack these supplies." ”

"You kid—" The lieutenant shook his head with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, you actually want to give us water and food." You're afraid that your words will be too straightforward and hurt our brothers' face, so you try to make your words more euphemistic. Yes and no?"

"Sir, there's no one in the world like you to chat with, how can you let me pick it up?" Zhang Xiaopaw said depressedly.

"Haha-"

After a moment of silence, the eleven looked at each other and laughed.

"Good brother, I have inherited this love brother. If you encounter trouble in the army in the future, even if you come to us, as long as it is not a violation of the principle of military discipline, the brothers will guarantee that there will be no ambiguity. The lieutenant patted his chest.

Zhang Xiaopaw smiled and nodded.

Eleven people lined up in a row and pushed forward to clear the battlefield.

Zhang Xiaopu reminded: "These people are all gangsters and bullies on the rivers and lakes, and there are endless tricks in the next three ways, and several brothers should be careful, especially water and food, be careful of poison." ”

"Water is so expensive right now, they shouldn't be willing to poison it, right?" said one of them.

"That's hard to say. These guys are all vicious people, and they can come up with any sinister moves. Another said.

"In short, be careful, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

"Brother Zhang, I heard that a sweet spring fell from the sky in Yancheng, and the underground water gushed out endlessly, is it true?" someone asked curiously.

"It's true. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded and said, "Brothers, don't worry, the supplies from Yancheng will be sent to the border one after another, and we will definitely be able to withstand this drought." ”

"That's great. The crowd shouted for joy when they heard this.

Just as he was searching forward, Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly stood still, looked sharply ahead, and landed on an oncoming man a hundred steps away, and immediately became vigilant.

His subtle state of mind was always open, but this man did not realize it until he was a hundred and twenty paces away from him, needless to say, this man was no ordinary man.

The man looked between forty and fifty years old, of medium height, with a thin build, dressed in a Confucian shirt, dressed as a scholar.

His facial features are soft, his eyes are kind, and the corners of his mouth are smiling, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

If he was not carrying the dried corpse of a rakshasa in his right hand, but shaking a folding fan, and in his left hand he was holding a scroll instead of a portrait of Zhang Xiaopu, Zhang Xiaopaw might still believe that he was an elegant gentleman who happened to pass by.

"You're Zhang Xiaopai?"

When Zhang Xiaopaw looked at the man in the Confucian shirt, the gentle and smiling gaze of the man in the Confucian shirt also looked at him, and the two eyes met in the air, and the man in the Confucian shirt asked.

Hearing his voice, the other ten people stopped, sensed the arrival of the man in the Confucian shirt, and immediately put down the loot in his hand, holding the hilt of the knife with a look of vigilance.

"I'm Zhang Xiaopai. ”

"Who are you?"

This person was holding his portrait in his hand, and Zhang Xiaopaw didn't even have room to pretend to be stupid.

"Six doors, ghost faces. The man replied, and then asked, "You killed the rakshasa?"

"I killed him, and you came to avenge him?!" Zhang Xiaopu's pupils fluttered, he had just killed a six-door rakshasa, and a six-door ghost face, just by hearing the name, he knew that these two were in the same group.

"No!" Ghostface shook his head and casually threw away the Rakshasa corpse, "I'm just curious who killed him." ”

Zhang Xiaopaw secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his intuition told him that the guy in front of him was not easy to mess with, so it was best to avoid a head-on conflict.

"Why did you kill him?"

"Don't you want to carry out the mission given to you by the Empire?" Oniface asked.

"When he met, he asked me to go with him, saying that the empire had a task entrusted to me, and I asked him what the task was, but he just didn't say, I thought it was a neurotic who ran away somewhere, and decisively refused his request. ”

"Then there was some very unpleasant exchange between us, and I couldn't bear it anymore and killed him. ”

"He wouldn't tell me anything until he died, so I thought he must be a psychopath. ”

"What about you, too, to let me go with you?" Zhang Xiaopaw said flatly, and then asked.

"It's a really interesting story. Hearing this, Ghost Face smiled dumbly and said, "The Rakshasa mission failed, and I have the duty to take over his unfinished mission, so you guessed right, I also came to let you go with me." ”

"But in view of the tragic fate of Rakshasa and my deep dislike for the certification of Neuropathy, I can tell you the content of the mission first. ”

"I can also tell you that your three good brothers have all accepted the mission and are already carrying it out. Ghost Face said again.

The three good brothers, Zhang Xiaopaw knew that it was Niu Dawa, Zhou Jianlai and Yuan Taiping as soon as he heard it, and he was immediately curious and couldn't wait to know what the task was.

In fact, he has always been curious in his heart, what task has the empire entrusted to him?

Originally, he guessed that Rakshasa was looking for him to bless the object, but he soon found out that it was not, but Rakshasa shut up and didn't say a word, so he couldn't guess.

"If he's half as talkative as you, why would?"

"A scholar is learned. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw looked at the dried corpse of the Rakshasa and shook his head with regret, and at the same time praised the ghost face.

Ghost Face twitched the corners of his eyes, thinking that if Rakshasa heard Zhang Xiaopaw's sigh, he would probably be able to come back to life in anger.
