Chapter 043: Departure
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, during which Zhu Shuai and his father were fully prepared and ready to set off at any time.
After all, Uncle Kang Xuan has been following his father for more than ten years, and now he is fully capable of managing a mercenary group, and now the potential enemies of the mercenary group have all disappeared, and with the assistance of the Shen family, the mercenary group will no longer have any problems.
Early in the morning of the sixth day, Zhu Shuai and his father packed their bags and prepared to set off. said that it was a bag, but in fact, it was just two burdens, bringing some change of clothes, and entanglements on the road. Zhu Shuai now has a ring, and these things are all stuffed into the ring by Zhu Shuai, so the two of them are very relaxed.
Walking to the gate of the mercenary group with his father, Kang Xuan, who came to see him off, stopped, hugged his fists towards his father and said, "Commander, this is a long way to go, and the commander must be cautious." ”
My father smiled and said, "Don't worry, although this trip is long, it will pass through many cities, and we have plenty of time, so don't worry." It's just that this mercenary group is going to trouble you!"
"Where is the commander, I will do my best to manage the mercenary group, and when you come back, I will give you a stronger mercenary group. Kang Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, then, then we will leave!" the father laughed.
"Well, be careful on the road, and Zhu Shuai's little nephew. You have to be careful, too!" Kang Xuan turned his head to Zhu Shuai and said.
"Well, I know Uncle Kang Xuan. If there is any news of Jing'er, you must notify me as soon as possible. Zhu Shuai also said politely.
"I know, you kid, you're quieter all day long, and you're more anxious than me, a father. Kang Xuan said with a smile.
"Brother Zhu Qing, I know that you are leaving today, but I, Shen Kuo, got up early, fortunately I wasn't late, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send Brother Zhu Qing. Just as the three of them were greeting, Shen Kuo of the Shen family also rushed over.
"Master Shen, I'm really ashamed to go home to visit relatives and alarm you. Seeing Shen Kuo coming, his father hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Zhu Qing has seen the outside, the relationship between our brothers, why don't I come to send it, by the way, this is my Shen family's clan card, if you encounter any place that needs help on the way, take this clan card to any Shen family's shop, they will do their best to help you." Shen Kuo said, handing over a token to his father.
"Thank you so much, it seems that this trip will inevitably disturb your Shen family. Father was grateful.
"Hey, look at what you said, I'm afraid you won't bother us, haha, by the way, I still have something to say to Zhu Shuai's little nephew. Shen Kuo said, then pulled Zhu Shuai aside and whispered.
"Little nephew Zhu Shuai, Uncle Shen has something to ask you, you don't know if you are willing to help. Pulling Zhu Shuai aside, Shen Kuo said mysteriously.
"Uncle Shen has something you want me to help with, and I will not shirk what I can do. Zhu Shuai said.
"This, a year later, is the day when our Shen family selects elders, and I will also run for election at that time, but if you want to run for elders, you need something to do, you also know, we have some beast cores in Xiumu City, and the rank is not high, so I hope that if you have time in a year, you can go to the imperial capital to help Uncle Shen." Shen Kuo said in a low voice.
"Ah, this, Uncle Shen, I don't have anything to settle down, your Shen family is a big family of the empire, and I don't have anything that I want your Shen family to look at. Zhu Shuai said nervously.
"You stupid boy, aren't you the best candidate for election, your progress these days, Uncle Shen can see it, in less than a year, you have cultivated from the power of the fourth-stage wood to the eighth-stage mage level, and there are few such terrifying cultivation speeds in the entire empire, and you are still a charmer. Uncle Shen can't imagine what heights you will reach in a year, so being able to make friends with potential stocks like you is the most advantageous condition for me to run for elder. When the time comes, you just need someone to come. Shen Kuo patted Zhu Shuai's shoulder and said quietly.
"Ah, as long as I go, then I will definitely go. Zhu Shuai said affirmatively.
"Okay, then whether Uncle Shen can run for election to become the elder of the Shen family depends on you. By the way, don't tell your dad about this, otherwise let them know that I came to beg you, and my face will be disgraced. Shen Kuo said, his eyes also secretly glanced at his father and Uncle Kang Xuan next to him.
"Well, I'm not going to say it. Zhu Shuai chuckled lightly and immediately responded.
"The young man is good, when you go to the imperial capital, Uncle Shen will introduce you to the beautiful women!" Shen Kuo patted Zhu Shuai's shoulder with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked to his father's side.
"What did you say quietly with my son!" The father couldn't help but ask, looking at Shen Kuo's sneaky appearance.
"Ah, it's nothing, I told Zhu Shuai's little nephew something, it's nothing. Shen Kuo's eyes floated and he said.
At this time, Zhu Shuai had already reflexively returned to his father's side, and his father saw that Shen Kuo didn't mean to say it, so he asked Zhu Shuai: "What did your Uncle Shen say to you!"
Zhu Shuai scratched his hair and said casually: "Uncle Shen said that he wanted to introduce beautiful women to me." ”
"What? Then what should I do with my family Jing'er, I said Brother Shen Kuo, why are you digging my corner in front of me, tell you, Zhu Shuai is already my son-in-law, don't think about it!" Kang Xuan on the side immediately became anxious and said.
"What is the reservation, Zhu Shuai and Jing'er haven't gotten a word yet, I call it fair competition, okay. Besides, Zhu Shuai is such an excellent child, isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines. Shen Kuo said unconvinced.
"Then my Jing'er is also a long house!" Kang Xuan also spoke.
Zhu Shuai's face turned red instantly, he didn't expect that he would say it casually, but it made Uncle Shen Kuo and Uncle Kang Xuan anxious, I knew this, I didn't say that, it was really miserable.
"Haha! Okay, don't make fun of my handsome child, the child is still young, the skin is still thin, you see, the face is red. Seeing that Zhu Shuai's face was flushed, his father laughed and said.
"Hey, I really envy you for having such a good son. Okay, let's not talk about it, Brother Zhu Qing, let's leave it alone, be careful all the way!" Shen Kuo said with his fist clasped towards his father again.
"Okay, there will be a date later!" his father said with a hearty smile, and after saying goodbye to Shen Kuo and Kang Xuan, he immediately left Xiumu City with Zhu Shuai.
"Good boy, really boost your father's momentum!" The two walked out of Xiumu City, Zhu Qing couldn't help but pat Zhu Shuai's shoulder, laughed and said: "In the past, when your cultivation was blocked, your father couldn't raise his head in front of others, and watching other people's children improve their strength one by one, Dad was about to die. Well, now it's their turn to envy me, good boy, well done. ”
Seeing that his father was in a good mood, Zhu Shuai was also excited, and said happily: "Don't worry, father, the child lost face to you in the past, and in the future, I will earn it back for you little by little!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter Dad, as long as you can be happy. By the way, if Shen Kuo really introduced you to the girl, would you agree? Father looked at Zhu Shuai with a smile.
"Father, don't make fun of the child, Jing'er doesn't know where it is now, let's find Jing'er first. Zhu Shuai said.
"That's right.,After all, you and Jing'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.,Well,Jing'er's Nizi father is very satisfied.,But a man.,There's a..." Father continued.
"Okay, father, don't talk about me, tell me about yourself, your mother has been missing for more than ten years, why don't you look for another one?" Zhu Shuai asked rhetorically.
"I'm different from you, you know, it was love at first sight between me and your mother, and I can't let go of anyone else anymore. Hearing Zhu Shuai say this, his father suddenly said with a straight face.
"Like my father, I can't let go of anyone else. Zhu Shuai's mind kept flashing Jing'er's figure, and he said slowly.
Seeing Zhu Shuai like this, his father sighed secretly and didn't say anything anymore.
"By the way, father, what is our next itinerary?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhu Shuai opened his mouth to relieve it.
"Let's go to Moye City first, Moye City is the transit station of the empire's transportation, there is a transport team to Haoyang City, as long as we keep up with a transport team, we can quickly reach Haoyang City, and with a companion, we will also have a care on the road, so we won't be bored." Father said.
"How far is this Moye City from Xiumu City, there won't be danger on the road!" This is the first time that Zhu Shuai has gone far away at such a age, so there are always a lot of problems.
"It's not far away, we can pass in about a day, there is danger, but you are so powerful now, are you still afraid of danger?" said my father with a smile as he became in a better mood.
"I'm still powerful, no matter how good I am, I can't beat you. Zhu Shuai said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm no match for you. By the way, the spirit level spell you gave me is really difficult to practice, it's been so long, I still only practice a little bit of skin, I don't know..."
The early morning sun warmly shone on Zhu Shuai and his father, and two long figures were pulled out on the ground, and Zhu Shuai and his father were chatting like this, while stepping on their own shadows, and walked towards Moye City.
Zhu Shuai enjoyed this atmosphere very much, he and his father had not been together so happily for a long time, and it would be even more perfect if his mother and Jing'er were also here at this time.
Zhu Shuai secretly swore in his heart again that one day, he would avenge his mother and teacher, one day, he would find Jing'er, and one day, his family would be reunited. At that time, Zhu Shuai will no longer let people, anything, separate his family!
Zhu Shuai's eyes looked into the distance, and his eyes were full of perseverance.
