Chapter 544: Sand Lake City (I)
Mu Zixu was suddenly furious and was about to have a seizure, but as soon as he saw the person who beat him, he immediately lost his temper, and asked with a sad face: "Great Venerable, why are you beating me?" ”
"Hit you? Little bunny, do you dare to turn away my friend from the city? It's good that I didn't kill you! "Of course, it is the Venerable Duobao who is sitting in Sand Lake City, he is wearing reading glasses at this time, holding a turquoise cigarette stick in his hand, and he is kicking Mu Zixu angrily!
Don't look at Mu Zixu, who is also in his fifties, but in the eyes of the Venerable Duobao, he is really a little rabbit cub. So of course Mu Zixu didn't dare to attack.
How did he know that Zhu Xiaobao and Venerable Duobao still had a relationship, and now Venerable Duobao was wearing reading glasses that were given by Zhu Xiaobao, and a magnifying glass was also given with it. Venerable Duobao had these two treasures, and after returning to Sand Lake City, he didn't go out for half a year, and he was finally able to carefully appreciate and play with all the treasures in his collection. Therefore, the Great Venerable Duobao is still very grateful to the little treasures.
And now Venerable Duobao has another hobby, that is, smoking, he also deliberately used a piece of superb jade to create this priceless cigarette stick, smoking every day, appreciating his treasures, is the most enjoyable moment for Venerable Duobao! Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhu Xiaobao was coming to Shahu City, Venerable Duobao was very happy, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Mu Zixu outside the city, so Venerable Duobao rushed to Xingshi to ask for guilt without thinking about it!
Lei Zhenzi next to him was also a little unhappy, Mu Zixu didn't discuss with him at all, so he should take all the disciples to stir with Zhu Xiaobao, and he also planned to buy Zhu Xiaobao's formula, which is obviously a fool's dream! How could such an important formula be sold?
So Lei Zhenzi also shook his head a little helplessly, speaking of which, Mu Zixu is not a big traitor, but he is a little too obsessed with studying these firearms and firearms, and sometimes his ideas are too simple, to put it bluntly, he is a nerd and a research maniac. But the fact that Perak Gate can come to this day is really inseparable from Mu Zixu's painstaking efforts!
"Uncle Shi! Why don't you make your own decisions without consulting with me? Zhu Xiaobao can only try his best to make friends, and he must not make enemies! You've shut him out of the city! You don't want to think about it, among the goods in Sand Lake City now, the best-selling ones are those high-end products of Zhu Xiaobao. If he is angry and cuts off the supply of goods from those merchants, the biggest loss will be our Sand Lake City! "Although Lei Zhenzi is very anxious, he still respects Mu Zixu, after all, he is his uncle!
"That's it! If nothing else, it's this kind of tobacco now, and I can't do without it. Listen to me, and if my tobacco is out of gear, don't blame me for breaking your dog's legs! Venerable Duobao put on another bag of cigarettes and said with some annoyance. In fact, Mu Zixu's addiction to cigarettes is even worse than that of Venerable Duobao, and whenever he is studying those firearms and burning drugs, he never leaves his cigarettes!
"Alas! You don't know, there are too many novelties in Zhu Xiaobao's hands, I really look at the hot eyes, not to mention those firearms, just the kind of small wooden stick that catches fire with a stroke of the light seen today is very valuable, and there are ......" Mu Zixu said excitedly, and began to dance again, his eyes lit up!
"Don't talk nonsense, you think about how to invite Zhu Xiaobao to Sand Lake City for me first!" Venerable Duobao interrupted Mu Zixu and shouted angrily.
"Huh? This...... I didn't think about it, senior, what do you say to do? Mu Zixu asked a little sluggishly......
At this time, it will be evening, Zhu Xiaobao and they have set up camp, ready to wash up, for several days it has been to save water, dare not be too extravagant, now they have arrived in Shahu City, and the rest of the water can be used up to their heart's content! The smell of soap filled the camps, and the cheerful laughter of the female warriors and guards......
At this time, it has been out of the desert, and there is already a lot of green around, as well as a large area of grassland, under the sunset, the sand lake city is still a little simple and vicissitudes from a distance, and its city walls are different from Lingyue Mountain, they are all earthen city walls.
There are also many small tribes on the periphery of Sand Lake City who have settled here, and they are more or less related to Sand Lake City, so they can live here, without relying on King Zuo or King You, compared to other tribes, their lives can be said to be much more stable!
Zhu Xiaobao was very curious about these small tribes, but the people of these small tribes were also very curious about them, and many young girls came on horseback, just to see the rumored female warriors, and the soaps they used. From afar, they all watched and refused to leave, and a few of the more daring ones even wanted to exchange this soap with the female warriors! Although many shops in Sand Lake City sell it, it is not something they can afford to buy! And they can't usually just enter Sand Lake City......
Seeing the envious eyes of so many people, these female warriors were greatly satisfied with their vanity, and there were really people who took out soap to exchange with these girls, and suddenly, this lucky girl became the object of envy of everyone!
"Young master, why aren't you in a hurry at all, now that we can't enter Sand Lake City, what should we do?" Yu Qing asked with a sad face at this time, she was still used to calling Zhu Xiaobao 'young master'. This is the first time she has led a team on such an important mission, and if she returns in vain, wouldn't it be a failure? So Yu Qing's heart was very anxious.
"In a hurry? Why should I be in a hurry? I can come to Sand Lake City because I can afford them. Hmph, this Mu Zixu, there are times when he regrets it! Besides, there is still an old friend of mine in Sand Lake City! Isn't it, old apprentice? Zhu Xiaobao snorted indifferently, and asked the old apprentice casually.
"What kind of old man is that? I don't want to see this guy! Alas...... Master, will you give me your kitchen knife? This guy is here! Of course, the old apprentice knew who Zhu Xiaobao was talking about, but before he could say anything halfway, he sensed that Venerable Duobao had already arrived!
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect a little friend to come to my Sand Lake City, but the old man was far away! Lao Jiu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you have a discussion first? Still far away, Venerable Duobao shouted with laughter. Venerable Duobao actually rode a donkey, don't look at this little donkey, covered in blue and gray, with four small silver hooves, running faster than an ordinary war horse, and sitting on it very steadily. It is the most beloved mount of Venerable Duobao.
"Humph! Are you afraid of you? The old apprentice immediately copied the kitchen knife to meet him, since he had a fight with Venerable Duobao on Luofeng Island, the old apprentice was very confident in his martial arts, and now he also wants to practice with Venerable Duobao again!
Unexpectedly, the two great venerables, who were not too old, fought as soon as they met, and the Duobao Flywheel of the Duobao Venerable shot again, but in the face of the old apprentice's indiscriminate slashing, he was still a little in a hurry.
And this time the old apprentice also has one more skill, an endless stream of matches continue to shoot at the Duobao Venerable, touching it and catching fire, even if it can't touch the Duobao Venerable, but the flowers and trees around him can also ignite the matchstick, although there is no lethality in Ming, but it also makes the Duobao Venerable heart tremble, I have never seen this kind of hidden weapon! As a last resort, Venerable Duobao's other Duobao Flywheel also made a move, which turned the situation around and gave him a slight upper hand......
However, this time, the two of them mainly competed, not fighting for their lives, and laughed in the end, and then put away their weapons, came to Zhu Xiaobao together, and sat on the ground. Venerable Duobao is also not polite, and plans to dine with Zhu Xiaobao and them!
But Mu Zixu, who was following behind, was a little embarrassed at this time, no one paid attention to him at all, and those female warriors were even more vigilant, not letting Mu Zixu and others get close!
"Yu Qing! Let them come! Elder Mu, hehe, we're meeting again so soon! Zhu Xiaobao smiled and waved his hand at Yu Qing, and then said to Mu Zixu with a smile.
"Hmmm! I have seen King Chitose of England, and he is acting recklessly, and I ask King Chitose of England to forgive me! Mu Zixu was a little annoyed and gave a deep salute, this time the number of salutes can be described as very respectful!
"It's okay, it's okay, I know people like Elder Mu, who are addicted to certain things and can't extricate themselves, and tend to act simply and whimsically! Have a seat! Zhu Xiaobao also stood up and saluted back, and then smiled and invited this Elder Mu to join the table!
"Thank you! There are many offenses outside the city today, and I ask the British King Chitose to forgive me! Mu Zixu said with a little gratitude, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to be quite easy-going, and he didn't embarrass him.
Mu Zixu waved his hand, and the subordinates behind him immediately presented gifts, all of which were jewels, jade and rare medicinal materials, and finally there were two twin girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old. Now Zhu Xiaobao is also well-informed, and he is not surprised, anyway, just accept it and go back to Zhu Rong to deal with! But Zhu Xiaobao would never dare to hide it by his side, and Zhu Rong's management of this special gift is still very strict!
"Elder Mu is so polite! Come on, get some good tea and tobacco for Elder Mu! "Zhu Xiaobao knew that this was a thank you gift prepared by Mu Zixu privately, so it was also a courtesy, and asked Lu Tong to get some practical gifts! It can be seen that the Venerable Duobao and Mu Zixu both have cigarette sticks in their waists, and as soon as they sit down, they light a bag of cigarettes, and they are already familiar old smokers!
"No, you don't! No! There is a reluctant request below, and please King Chitose can fulfill it! Unexpectedly, Mu Zixu waved his hand again and again, and said with a little expectation.
"Huh? Do you still want my formula? Zhu Xiaobao was also surprised, could this old man be so persistent? That's too ignorant, isn't it?
"No, no! I want to ask for a pair of reading glasses like Duobao's predecessors! And a magnifying glass! Alas, my eyes are actually not as good as Duobao's predecessors, and I often have to borrow Duobao's seniors' reading glasses, but Duobao's seniors also need it very much......" Mu Zixu sighed and said, he is overused, so his age is about the same as Duanmuqi, but he is already old! In this era, the eyes of a person with a little cultivation will not begin to age until the age of 60......
"Oh! So that's the case, this is easy, go back and let my second apprentice Mu Junyi make you a pair! Only then did Zhu Xiaobao suddenly realize that it was such a request. But now that Mu Junyi is not around, he can only return to Zirui Country and process and make Mu Zixu again!
"Who? What did you just say your second apprentice's name was? Unexpectedly, Mu Zixu heard Mu Junyi's name, and suddenly became very excited and asked.
"Junichi Ki!" Zhu Xiaobao was also taken aback, and suddenly thought that these two people were surnamed Mu, could the two have anything to do with each other? Although Mu Chunyi has been following Zhu Xiaobao for several years, she has always been low-key, and she does not have the same reputation as the old apprentice in the outside world, and few people know that Zhu Xiaobao also has a female apprentice.
She ...... She...... Is there a red mole behind the left ear? Mu Zixu asked very excitedly, and even his voice trembled a little.
"Not bad! It seems that she is someone you are very close to? "Zhu Xiaobao knew that there was a red mole behind Mu Junyi's left ear, and the two had worked together for so long, of course Zhu Xiaobao had seen it a long time ago!
She ...... She's my daughter! I've been looking for her for 18 years, and we were broken up when we were washed in Perak Hall by King You's sandstorm, and then there has been no news of their mother and daughter, and I can't imagine that she is still alive! That...... Is her mother okay too? Mu Zixu suddenly cried bitterly and said.
"Uh...... I don't know, Mu Junichi was taken in by Lingyue Island, but she has always been the only one, and she has never mentioned her background! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"Alas! I understand, I understand, I'm afraid something has happened! Mu Zixu whispered very sadly, although he was a workaholic, but he also knew that any woman who was captured would not have a good ending, that is, Mu Junyi was still young at the time, so he could survive.
It turned out that at that time, a batch of fire and thunder bombs customized by the Thunderbolt Hall for King Youwang Sandstorm did not meet the requirements of the Sandburst, and that Sandstorm suffered a loss in the battle with Jialanga, so he was angry with the Thunderbolt Hall. At that time, the Perak Hall was still a very small sect, and it was simply unable to resist the iron cavalry of the sandstorm, and it was torn apart and fled to Sand Lake City.
If it weren't for the Venerable Duobao sitting in Sand Lake City and scaring off the sandstorm iron horsemen, the Perak Hall would have been wiped out! Otherwise, Venerable Duobao could teach Mu Zixu such an unceremonious lesson, and Mu Zixu didn't dare to have any objections at all, just because Venerable Duobao had a life-saving grace for them.
At that time, Jialanga also happened to send troops to encircle and suppress the sandstorm's men and horses, which saved Perak Gate. Therefore, since then, Perak Hall has always maintained a good business relationship with King Jialanga.
"Huh! So, you can't even stop the Youwang sandstorm, and now you still want to threaten my little brother, do you think you're getting carried away? Venerable Duobao next to him also said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, the seniors taught us!" Mu Zixu wiped his tears and said very respectfully.
"Huh! It's also nice to be able to find my daughter, come on, let's do a bowl! The old apprentice also said with a smile at this time, he didn't expect that his junior sister actually had a father, which made the old apprentice very happy for Mu Junyi. He has a tacit relationship with this junior sister, and Mu Junyi usually takes care of the old apprentice!
Although the meal was relatively simple, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and several cigarette sticks here were lit with cigarettes, fortunately in the open air, which did not make Zhu Xiaobao suffer too much!
But Venerable Duobao stretched out his hand at this time and said, "Little friend! Would you like to bring some of your fire-lighting sticks? Don't let me know that this is not a secret weapon at all, it is something that ignites fire! But it's quite convenient! ”
It turned out that the old apprentice showed off again just now, lit a bag of cigarettes with a match, and looked a little proudly at Venerable Duobao blowing the fire fold and lighting a cigarette! This made the Great Venerable Duobao a little shameless. So now he's reaching out and asking for it!
This thing is not worth anything at all, and Zhu Xiaobao generously gave Venerable Duobao a large bag, which has more than two hundred, which makes Venerable Duobao overjoyed: "Little friend, this time when you come to my Sand Lake City, you must stay for a few more days, I can let you see those treasures of mine!" That's a rarity! ”
"Good! No problem, I still have some questions to ask His Holiness when the time comes! Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said, he wanted to know more about the Thousand Poison Venerable, but now that Qiu Baiyan was also here, he said more vaguely. This time I went to the royal court, and the one who made Zhu Xiaobao most uneasy was this Thousand Poison Venerable!
Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaobao was ceremoniously welcomed into Sand Lake City with his men and horses, and Zhu Xiaobao was the first to let the Great Venerable Duobao and Lei Zhenzi personally come forward to greet him!
After entering Sand Lake City, Zhu Xiaobao looked around and carefully observed this very famous ancient city outside the Saiwai. It is indeed more prosperous than Luofeng Island, and there are more shops, roads, and various vendors than Luofeng Island, and the population of Shahu City is several times that of Luofeng Island.
However, what makes Zhu Xiaobao a little secretly proud is that his products are the best-sellers, and the price has also doubled up here! No wonder Hachitu likes to run here when he has nothing to do, and the profits are high!
Of course, when Zhu Xiaobao came to Shahu City, the first thing he visited was the Treasure Cave Mansion of Venerable Duobao, and it could only be entered by Zhu Xiaobao with his old apprentices, and even the old apprentices would have taken up the light of Zhu Xiaobao, otherwise, Venerable Duobao would not let the old apprentices enter his treasure house!
In the face of dazzling many rare treasures, it took a long time for Zhu Xiaobao to begin to adapt, living in this cave, I really need a magnifying glass, there are too many things in it, no wonder Venerable Duobao usually stays at home, it turns out that you can have endless fun here!
However, the main purpose of Zhu Xiaobao's trip was to ask about the situation of the Thousand Poison Venerable, because the Duobao Venerable knew a lot about the Thousand Poison Venerable!
However, to the surprise of Zhu Xiaobao, the Thousand Poison Venerable did not have anything, but the Duobao Venerable asked Zhu Xiaobao to pay attention to another Great Venerable---- the Barbarian Great Venerable! Because the Great Venerable of the Barbarian Wilderness is actually with the Great Prince now......
