Chapter 445: The Eight Absolute One
The speed of the sudden outbreak made Truman and the others unresponsive, and they almost fell to the ground.
In the carriage, Ji Anlan directly pushed the car door with anger on her face and looked out, even if the one driving the carriage was a ninth-rank powerhouse, she did not hesitate to roar: "What are you doing? Do you know how to drive? Don't know if there's anyone else in the car? I almost threw it out. ”
Du Bali didn't say anything, just smiled lightly.
Ji Anlan also confessed, and after this roar, he didn't say more.
And fortunately, Du Ba, who was driving the carriage, was someone else, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was really not finished.
Although the carriage drove fast and made the people of Chumen shake nauseously, the time to Shudu did increase a lot.
The time that was supposed to take two hours was almost only an hour and a half, and it had already arrived.
At the end of the road, Du Ba stopped the carriage, he pointed ahead and said, "There, it's Shudu." ”
After shaking his head a little to ease the feeling of dizziness, Truman looked in the direction of Du Ba's instructions.
The time has come to dusk, and under the pale sun, the face of Shudu is completely standing in front of Chumen.
Under the yellow light, the stone walls are stacked to form a huge city that is ancient and prosperous.
At dusk, candles were already lit in the city.
The subtle candle flame was like a little starlight, reflecting this Shu capital as if it were a city in the sky.
"How? We are Shudu! ”
"Under the care of my eight elders of Shushan, the people of Shudu have lived in peace and contentment for the past 50 years, and they have never closed their homes at night, which is the only way to develop Shudu to such a prosperous state."
"Brother Chu, how is our Shu capital compared to your Kyoto in the Great Jin?"
Truman was stunned, and then said: "Shudu is luxurious, but compared to Kyoto, there are still some shortcomings, but if you want to find a place to live in these two places forever, I would like to choose here." ”
"Haha, good choice."
Du Ba praised.
During the conversation between the two, Ji Anlan and the others also walked out of the carriage.
Looking at the city in the distance, except for Hua Yao, the other three women were all shocked in their hearts.
Obviously, except for Hua Yao, the other three have never seen this Shudu.
Du Ba also discovered this scene.
He smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Bai has been to Shudu." ”
Bai Huayao smiled faintly and said, "Two years ago, I did come here, but the Shu capital at that time was far from being as prosperous as it is today. ”
Du Bahaha smiled, "Ahaha, this is also thanks to the close transaction between you Dajin and us in the past two years. ”
"Close trading?"
Truman looked over, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Ji Anlan.
According to Ji Anlan's words, she came here because of some trade.
And these transactions, Truman doesn't know at all, it seems that there are still some secrets in them.
"Yes."
Du Ba nodded and said, "Yes, close trading, but after all, I am the eighth elder, so I don't know what this close transaction is." ”
Although Du Ba didn't know, Ji Anlan did, but Chumen didn't ask much.
Speaking of this, Du Ba seemed to think of something, and he said mysteriously: "Could it be that you are the one who carried out this secret transaction on behalf of the Great Jin?" ”
Ji Anlan hurriedly glanced at Truman, Truman understood what he meant, and immediately denied it: "Instead of Dajin? Haha, Brother Du laughed, we don't have such skills as little people. ”
"Little people?" Du Ba shook his head and said, "You can carry two eighth-rank people with you, you can't be regarded as a small person." ”
"And ......"
Du Ba looked at Hua Yao and Li Lianyi, "And the two of them are not very old, so they are also great geniuses." ”
"After all, such a genius can't be seen among small people."
"Huh!"
Truman was stunned, in the previous exchange, this ninth-rank performance Truman's cough was not so smart, and now it seems that this is not the case.
Smiled a little embarrassedly, Chumen said: "Brother Du is really powerful, he guessed our origin at once, Brother Du guessed well, we are not from any small family, but from the Chu family of the Great Jin." ”
Du Ba was stunned, and then said, "The Great Jin Chu family? I haven't heard of this family. ”
Truman replied with a smile: "The Great Jin Land is rich in resources, and it is normal that you have not heard of it. ”
"Yes."
Du Ba didn't doubt Truman's words, he nodded and said,
"Since Brother Chu is a member of the Chu family, these people behind you must be extraordinary."
After that, Truman said to the fourth daughter: "This white brother is the grandson of my uncle's second uncle and third aunt's son, and this brother Ji next to her, in fact, she is a woman, and she is the wife of the next." ”
After listening to Truman's words, Du Ba suddenly said: "I see, I see, what about the remaining two?" ”
Truman walked to Li Lianyi's side and said, "This is also my wife, as for this ......"
Truman paused, and then pointed at Long Jiaojiao and said, "This Brother Long is a servant of my family. ”
Hearing that Truman introduced himself like this, Long Jiaojiao stared at Truman, but she didn't say anything, although there are many people in her family who are stronger than the ninth-rank person in front of her, but alone in front of this person, it is better to restrain yourself.
Still, servant?
The name of the daughter of the king of freedom is only worthy of being a servant with you?
Long Jiaojiao's eyes staring at Truman couldn't help but widen a little, and she stared at Trumen's heart.
Truman hurriedly said: "Okay, it's getting dark, let's go into the city quickly." ”
Du Badao: "Well, you go into the city, and we will say goodbye here." ”
"Farewell?"
Truman said suspiciously: "Isn't Brother Du going into the city?" ”
Du Ba nodded and said, "Originally, I was going to enter the city, but someone was looking for me temporarily, so I went over to take a look." ”
After that, Du Bayi arched his hand and said, "Brother Chu, we will separate here." ”
Truman also arched his hand and said, "Brother Du, sue me." ”
"Sue it."
After giving up with Chumen, and Ji Anlan and others one after another, Du Ba's body was covered with true qi, and he disappeared from view in the blink of an eye.
This kind of speed is the speed that Truman's true qi can be displayed before it disappears.
After a little envy, the five Trumen people were heading towards the city.
......
The capital of Shu is prosperous, and the protection within it is also very good.
The soldiers defending the city are all strong men of the sixth rank and above.
It took a lot of time for the five Trumen to enter the city smoothly.
It's time to enter the city, and it's already time.
I hurriedly found an inn and finally stayed.
However, not long after the five Trumen entered the city, Du Ba appeared in the place where he had said goodbye.
He looked at the city gate and said slowly, "Senior brother, you mean?" The man who traveled with me was Truman? ”
As Du Ba's words came out, in the dark place next to him, a person walked out slowly.
He nodded and smiled, "Yes." ”
"Truman!"
As he walked out of the darkness, his figure could be seen in the moonlight.
It was a thin man, not as tall as Du Ba's shoulders, but his shoulders were much wider than Du Ba's.
He stared at the gate of Shudu.
The smile that was revealed was extremely hideous.
Du Ba obviously noticed the former's abnormality, and he shouted suspiciously: "Senior brother, senior brother? ”
The senior brother turned his head and smiled faintly.
"Let's go and hand in the task first, why don't we meet in the door."
"Yes."
Du Ba arched his hand, and then flew directly towards Shudu.
And after Du Ba left, this senior brother's face became hideous again.
He smirked and said, "Truman, this life is in your hands first." ”
"When I come out of the sect, I will take your life."
"At that time, I will put your head in front of the grave of my dead apprentice and pay tribute to my poor apprentice."
In this way, in the real air, the senior brother also disappeared here.
......
It was already night, and after arranging all the affairs, Truman and the others also rested.
After two days of running and a rapid drive in the afternoon, everyone was tired and dizzy, and they fell asleep on the bed.
Following.
Morning.
Ji Anlan and Long Jiaojiao were still asleep, and Truman took Hua Yao to go somewhere.
In front of a luxurious mansion, the two stopped in front of it.
The morning fog lingered, and the doors were closed.
There was not a single servant guarding the door.
In such a luxurious mansion, there was no one guarding the door, and it was a bit of a surprise to arrive.
Truman didn't think much about it, he didn't think too much, he walked up and knocked on the door.
After a few moments, a hurried footstep sounded inside the door, and a man had already come to open the door.
Look at his dress, he is the servant of this house.
The servant looked at the three people outside the door and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Truman smiled and took out the Shu token that Luo Fei gave him from his arms.
"We are merchants from the Great Jin Dynasty, and we want to meet your master."
"Merchant?"
The servant didn't take the token, he was only slightly puzzled, "My master has never met a merchant. ”
The servant was puzzled, and Truman was even more puzzled, and he took two steps back and looked at the plaque of the mansion.
"That's right? It's the 'royal family'. ”
Truman pondered for a moment, then handed the token over again, and said, "Anyway, please ask your master to take a look at this token, and after reading it, he should invite us in." ”
The servant took the token and looked at it carefully before he said, "Please wait a moment, I will go to my master." ”
With that, the servant closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Truman smiled helplessly and didn't say much.
Leaned on the stone pillar next to him and waited.
Hua Yao was curious about the token, she came over and asked: "This Wang family is a very famous family in Shu, although they rarely do business, but they are very deep in politics and agriculture, almost all the land that can be used for cultivation in Shu is almost the property of the Wang family, and more than half of those high-ranking officials in the Shu Palace have been bought by this Wang family, some people say that the King of Shu only got half of the world of the Great Jin, and the other half of the world is the Wang family." ”
"Shu is heavy on agriculture and light on business, for businessmen, they are mostly not welcome, even if your token is issued by the royal family of Shu, presumably the Wang family will ruthlessly turn you away."
Truman was stunned, and then said with a smile; "Whether they see us or not, it's okay to know that their family occupies most of the land in Shu."
"A merchant or something is just a title, and when we put enough money in front of us, even if it is an enemy, he will open the door."
Hua Yao paused, then shook her head, "Lord Chu, if one day after almost all the wealth of a country is in your hands, can you still do something you don't like because of money." ”
Truman didn't deny it, but said: "Of course not, but don't be disappointed so quickly, in case this token is not a token of power, but a token of favor." ”
Hua Yao smiled, and then nodded, "It's impossible to get there, but if you can get a favor token in such a family, the identity of the person who gave you the token is really not simple." ”
Regarding Luo Fei's identity, Truman also has speculations.
But I didn't think too much about it, and now it seems that it really may have a deep relationship with this big family.
Truman smiled, looked at the gate of the Wang family, and said: "Whether the identity is simple or not, I will know if the Wang family treats me or not, but compared to here, I am more curious about why this huge Wang family does not have a servant to guard the door." ”
Hua Yao replied: "This reason, if your true qi has not disappeared, it can be understood. ”
Truman looked over puzzled, "Why?" ”
Hua Yao didn't speak, just walked slowly to Truman's side and put a hand on his shoulder.
Under the surging true qi, Truman suddenly sensed the reason.
At the moment when the former's true qi was released, he clearly felt a pressure coming from the mansion.
It was as if there was an eye staring at him.
"We can't exude more true qi, or we will no longer be guests, but enemies."
As Hua Yao withdrew her true qi, the gaze and pressure disappeared in an instant.
But even if this pressure subsided, Truman still had palpitations.
Because through the pressure of Fang Cai, he could sense how powerful the person who released the pressure was.
This person who is pressuring, presumably only the old man he has seen at the auction in Dongyang City, is stronger than him.
Hua Yao explained with a smile: "Although there is no grandmaster in Shu, there are people who are close to grandmasters. ”
"This one, presumably, should be the first person in Shu Kingdom, who slaughtered Yi Xueyang."
Truman asked curiously, "People Tu Yi Xueyang?" ”
Hua Yao continued to explain: "Below the Grandmaster, there is the ninth rank, and in the ninth rank, there are eight people whose strength is close to the grandmaster. ”
"There are three in the Great Jin, three in the Nanban, and two in the Shu State."
"These eight are called the Eight Absolute Ones."
"And the two of Shu Kingdom, one is Tu Yi Xueyang, the person who just put pressure on them, and the other is the head of Shu Mountain, Feihua Long Qianqiu."
"The Eight Peerless? It's interesting. ”
Truman was even more curious about the secret of this martial artist, and just as he was about to ask again, the door had been slowly opened.
