Chapter 32: A New Beginning
After a long time, Chu Hao came back to his senses from his excited state, and said happily: "General Jin, in this way, I will definitely be a dual-attribute martial artist in the future!" β
As if thinking of something, Jin Zhenbei shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Hao, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, that is, if the vortex cannot be transformed into a crystalline derivative source within the specified time, it will dissolve the formless, and it will never even have a chance to become a dual-attribute derivative martial artist." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
This sentence was undoubtedly a basin of ice water for Chu Hao, which made him feel cold.
However, he was also a contented man. He felt that his transformation from a cultivator to a cold ice martial artist was already an achievement that countless people could not achieve, and he was too greedy and even counterproductive.
Jin Zhenbei just wanted to say something, but he saw a soldier under him hurrying in, shouting loudly.
At that moment, he frowned and scolded, "What is it?" So flustered! β
While wiping his sweat, the soldier said hurriedly: "Tell General Jin, in the direction of the east gate of Beishan Town, a team that seems to be organized by the Chamber of Commerce has appeared, with hundreds of people. β
Jin Zhenbei's sword eyebrows were deep, and he said, "Can you find out if it is the chamber of commerce organization?" Tell them to go down and let them stop moving! If anyone disobeys, they will be killed! β
"Yes!" The soldier shouted, and disappeared into the living room like a gust of wind.
Chu Hao felt that something was wrong, and sighed that the world was really unsettled and rising again and again.
He asked Jin Zhenbei and said, "General Jin, is there an enemy attacking our Beishan Town?" β
Jin Zhenbei shook his head and said, "Xiao Hao, you come with me." When he said that, he had already walked away.
Chu Hao suppressed the incomprehension in his heart and kept up with Jin Zhenbei's footsteps.
Soon, the two of them came to the low and dilapidated Dongcheng Tower in Beishan Town, and saw a team under the banner of the Chamber of Commerce organization, parked on the blood-colored plain.
This chamber of commerce organization team is from Beihua City and belongs to the Yan family's forces.
They explained their intention to Jin Zhenbei, and they came here to find their own young lady who had been missing for many days, and finally some people were allowed to enter the city, and those family guards could only be stationed outside the small city of Beishan Town.
A few days ago, Miss Yan took more than 20 guards and a maid to the deepest part of the Cold Extreme Forest, wanting to pick an elixir, but in the end there was no news.
"What does your young lady of the Yan family look like?" Chu Hao felt that things were strange, and felt that it seemed to have something to do with him, so he asked one of the stewards of the Yan family.
The steward of the Yan family arched his hand to Chu Hao and said: "Chu Shaoxia, my young lady's name is Yan Tianxuan, she is eighteen years old, she looks like a fairy, slim, and likes to wear a black veil. She was dressed in black the day she left, and had lost contact with her three days earlier, so we suspected something was wrong with them, so we ventured and hurried to the Arctic Forest. β
Hearing this, Chu Hao sighed in his heart, and said to the Yan family steward: "It seems that the people I met that day are eight or nine times out of ten your young lady." β
The steward of the Yan family looked overjoyed, and said hurriedly: "May I ask Chu Shaoxia, please tell us the truth about the whereabouts of our Miss Yan family, we will definitely thank you again!" β
Chu Hao shook his head, regretfully told the Yan family's steward what happened that day, and told the Yan family steward without missing a single detail, making the latter dumbfounded.
After a long time, the steward of the Yan family came back to his senses and muttered: "Miss is kind by nature, she will definitely be favored by God, and she will not lose her face." I believe that the young lady must have been swept downstream by the waters of the Coldpole River. I guess they should be waiting for our rescue somewhere. β
Chu Hao nodded and said, "I also think that your young lady is fine, after all, my brother Ajie and I are fine, and I don't think they will be fine." Now that the matter in Beishan Town has come to an end for the time being, I just have time to find Grandma and Aunt Zhao. β
After learning the truth of the matter, the steward of the Yan family immediately said goodbye to Chu Hao, Jin Zhenbei and others, and divided into two teams, one followed the direction of the Hanji River overnight to see if they could find any trace of their young lady; The other team went straight to Qingfeng Town, a small town in the lower reaches of the Hanji River, to inquire about the news of their young lady.
When a gibbous moon hung in the east, Ouyang Jie woke up from his cultivation state, but he also failed to stimulate Jin Yan's vein or Jin Yanyuan, nor did he improve the cultivation of Tu Yan's power.
However, he was not without gains, but realized strange tricks from the "critical hit" and "hard shock" in "Jin Yanshu", and successfully increased the power of "Tu Yan Jue".
"Lao Chu, what did you say? You said that the masked woman we met after being attacked by a pack of wolves that day turned out to be a young lady organized by the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce in Beihua City? Ouyang Jie looked at Chu Hao with round eyes and said in surprise.
Chu Hao pursed his lips and said, "What's so surprising about this?" Applejack, we're going to leave tomorrow, let's go to find Grandma and Aunt Zhao. β
Ouyang Jie nodded and sighed: "Yes, the beast tide incident in Beishan Town has ended, and we have to embark on a new journey." β
Thinking of what happened during this period of time, the two of them had mixed feelings in their hearts and felt quite bitter.
Since they were going to leave Beishan Town tomorrow, the two came to Murong Xiuxiu to explain their intentions.
At this moment, Murong Xiuxiu's eyes widened, pointing at Chu Hao and Ouyang Jie, and said angrily: "What? Little Chuzi, little fat man, are you leaving? Don't you take this princess seriously? You know, you two are my Murong Xiuxiu's juniors! β
Ouyang Jie rolled his peach blossom eyes and said, "Hey, Princess Mingzhu, how dare our two brothers not take you in their eyes?" Don't you see that we have something to do? After we get things done, we'll go to the imperial capital to find you!" β
Murong Xiuxiu turned her head to look at Chu Hao, and said unhappily: "Little Chuzi, are you the same as the little fat man?" β
Chu Hao affirmed: "Of course! If you don't find your aunt and my Aunt Zhao, we won't follow you to the Northern Continent! β
After a pause, he said again: "Princess Mingzhu, I know that your army should secretly go to the border in the west and northwest directions to guard against the Xiwu Empire and the grassland armies of the vassal countries. The reason why you came to Beishan Town is because you happened to hear that Beishan Town was hit by a beast tide. β
Murong Xiuxiu was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the purpose of her and the others' march would be known by Chu Hao and Ouyang Jie, and her heart sank at the moment.
Chu Hao looked at Murong Xiuxiu's face, secretly exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "Princess Mingzhu, this news was told to me by General Jin, and we are the people of the Beiwu Empire, so naturally we will serve the Beiwu Kingdom." However, at the moment, our two brothers really have urgent matters to do, so I ask you to allow us to leave you. β
After thinking about it, Murong Xiuxiu waved her hand weakly and sighed: "Forget it, you two get out!" If you finish your work and don't go to be the little brother of this princess, this princess will turn over the land of the Beiwu Empire, and she will also pull you out and cut off your heads! β
Ouyang Jie shrank his neck when he heard this, and looked at Murong Xiuxiu with a look of fear that she would really do that. However, in his heart, he didn't think so.
Chu Hao said in his heart: We went to the Nanwu Empire, do you Murong Xiuxiu also want to turn the Nanwu Empire upside down and find us out?
Murong Xiuxiu saw Chu Hao and Ouyang Jie with frightened expressions, and immediately "hummed" and left triumphantly with the two maids.
At this time, in the sky above Beishan Town, several cloud-piercing eagles flew from the west, screaming and screaming, almost alarming everyone on the ground.
They hovered in the air for a while, like sharp arrows, shooting down towards Ouyang Mansion at high speed.
When they heard the screams of the Cloud Piercing Eagle, Murong Xiuxiu and Jin Zhenbei's faces changed greatly, and they walked out of the room quickly and came to the garden.
Whew~Whew~Whew!
The Cloud Piercing Eagle shot down at high speed, blowing gusts of wind. They were almost close to the ground before they retracted their wings and stopped in the air, the resulting wind that caused the flowers and trees in the courtyard to sway, and the windows to crackle.
Next, Murong Xiuxiu and Jin Zhenbei learned from the news brought by the Cloud Piercing Eagle that the Xiwu Empire and its vassal states had gathered 100,000 grassland troops and were marching towards the border of the Beiwu Empire.
At that moment, their faces changed greatly, knowing that the border pass was in an emergency, and with only the little strength of the Beiwu Empire on the border, they were definitely no match for the grassland army of the Xiwu Empire, otherwise the other party would not have sent 100,000 urgent military intelligence.
So, they marched rapidly overnight, hoping to send this elite army that had defeated the beast tide to the front line as soon as possible to hold the frontier.
At the request of Murong Xiuxiu and Jin Zhenbei, Ma Danian, the city lord of Flying Snow City, was forced to send troops to the two frontier fronts in the west and northwest, because the frontier fronts in these two directions were the territory of the city lord of Flying Snow City.
The contradictions between the Beiwu Empire and the Xiwu Empire have been frequent, for a long time, at least a few hundred years old, with a small war every five years and a major war every fifteen to twenty years, and the beacon fire often burns throughout the entire Northern Continent.
Now, a war is about to break out on the front line, and Zhu Shan and Ma Xingkong do not dare to blatantly retaliate against Chu Hao, Ouyang Jie, and Ouyang Chao, and the former is not strong enough, and more importantly, Ma Danian compromised with Murong Xiuxiu and Jin Zhenbei.
Because, this is not the time for infighting, and if possible, it is not too late to settle accounts after the autumn.
At first, Murong Xiuxiu wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ma Danian, Zhu Shan, Ma Xingkong and others, but at present, he could only do it. Just because she is inexperienced and not decisive enough, and because the war is about to start in the west and northwest, the other side has the upper hand, and if there is infighting at this time, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.
Chu Hao and Ouyang Jie also wanted to find Zhu Shan and Ma Xingkong to take revenge, but they were afraid that they had a compromise agreement with the other party, so they had to give up, get ready, and set off early tomorrow morning to find Zhai Yuan, Zhao Qingling and others.
