Chapter 146: Intricacies (Part II)
A small-scale battle, but the repercussions far exceeded the expectations of the nineteenth princess, and far exceeded the sensation caused by those new old products. The princes of various families and the major families have a strong interest in this place of Xiyuan City. also began to pay attention to the nineteenth princess.
Of course, this consequence was also something Zhu Xiaobao didn't expect, he thought that if he repelled King Ming, he should be able to be peaceful, but he didn't expect that the situation was getting more and more complicated. Now there are a lot of spies around the cave, and dozens of suspicious people can be caught every day, but these people's martial arts are low, and they don't know who the real people behind the scenes are who hired them, they are just greedy for some small profits, and they come here to investigate with a fluke mentality, in case they can find any special circumstances, they can also earn a considerable amount of money.
For this kind of person, there is nothing the Nineteenth Princess can do, she can't kill them all! Most of them are also from Xiyuan City. However, there are also some masters in the middle, and they actually compete with the soldiers guarding the blessed land of the cave, but most of them can escape, after all, ordinary soldiers are not the opponents of these people.
This situation made Zhu Xiaobao a little dumbfounded, originally he thought that the nineteenth princess would be in high esteem, and he could go down the mountain with confidence. I didn't expect the situation to be even more chaotic now. Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin didn't let him go down the mountain at all, not even with the protection of the guards.
In fact, these are all trivial things, and they are generally not told to Zhu Xiaobao. But the other day, something very worrying happened. Because someone actually broke into that hidden cave, and it also detonated a land mine. But the light skills of the person who came were very good, and he was able to avoid most of the injuries, only a little bit of injury. What's even more terrifying is that this person actually crossed the pond and wanted to explore it again, but fortunately, several female guards that day were led by Wu Lijia and pulled three land mines, but they still failed to scare people away. This man behaved quite fiercely, although he was a little injured, but he still tried to rush inside.
Wu Lijia and the others' repeating crossbows didn't play a role, because the man's weapon was actually an iron umbrella, and when he opened the iron umbrella, he actually blocked the shooting of the repeating crossbow. And he flickered and moved in the air, but not a single arrow could hit this person.
is still Wu Lijia's more alert, at a critical time, he actually threw out the cannon that Zhu Xiaobao gave him, this thing thunders and rains little, but it is really good to scare people. The man was obviously startled by the sudden explosion, and he was also very afraid of the ground mine in front of him, so his iron umbrella was hit by a falling cannon, and the explosion sound made him a little confused, and he didn't know what kind of powerful weapon it was.
At this moment, Wu Lijia rushed forward with a single knife in his hand, and the opponent was in close combat, and sure enough, as she thought, the other party was very good at light skills, but the hand-to-hand combat was very ordinary, and his strength was far inferior to Wu Lijia. With the ingenuity of his moves, he had a draw with Wu Lijia with that unpopular weapon. But the female guards behind had already followed, and this person turned around and fled, and actually escaped the same way again. And when the other party was escaping, he actually threw out six or seven real thunderbolts, which made Wu Lijia and the others also scramble, although there was no lethality, but it also made people break out in a cold sweat.
This incident made Zhu Xiaobao and the others very shocked, because there were troops guarding the cave, and it was difficult to get in for a radius of several miles, but they didn't expect this person to be able to touch the cave, and he could also avoid the killing of land mines. This made Zhu Xiaobao once again realize the magic of various martial arts in this world. It seems that it is still very important to learn martial arts well!
Immediately afterwards, an incredible thing happened, from the top of the mountain peak actually slid down the rope of a person, if it weren't for the angry group of golden eagles at the top of the mountain to attack it, it was really possible for him to slide to the cave blessed land.
It turned out that the top of the mountain peak was the place where those due diligence were entrenched, and there were hundreds of golden eagles nesting on it, and this person may have made the golden eagles feel threatened, so they attacked it in groups! When they first came to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Zhu Xiaobao and they had already started to deal with these golden eagles, because Xiao Ash was forced by this group of golden eagles to run out of life, and those prey were robbed by the golden eagles.
However, since Zhu Xiaobao and they came, they have been in harmony with this group of golden eagles, and they still put some food in a fixed place when they are fine, but this group of golden eagles is not very active, and they seem to prefer the prey they have caught. Only occasionally when they can't catch prey will they take away these free foods. But this group of golden eagles is very human, and they never hunt the livestock in captivity. They will not attack the people of the Cave Heaven and Earth.
But this time, this person obviously angered this group of golden eagles, so he launched an attack in anger. This man really couldn't resist the group of golden eagles in mid-air, so he finally had to let go of the rope and jump into the sea below. But the soldiers guarding below did not catch this man, and he still dived and slipped away.
What's even more surprising is that this person actually opened his arms when he jumped, and the clothes on his body actually showed an umbrella shape, which greatly slowed down the speed of falling, which made Zhu Xiaobao very surprised, but he didn't expect that this person already knew the principle of using paragliders......
"These two people are likely to be the people of the 'Feiyan Gate', this sect is known as the heavens and the earth, and they are omnipotent, so they specialize in taking over some very difficult espionage tasks, and of course the asking price is also very high! The price of these two people who tried to enter the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land was at least 1,000 taels of gold. The biggest characteristic of the people of this sect is that all of them are thin and capable, and they are very good at light skills, but their ability to really fight in close combat is average. Even if the mission fails, it won't be entangled, and you will run away immediately! Tong Wuxin said worriedly, these people's light skills are much better than her and Zhao Shenbao, and they rarely make a move, but I didn't expect that two people appeared at once this time.
"Little treasure! Even if I beg you, don't go down the mountain during this time, okay? It's a big deal, I'm with you every day! Wu Yue said to Zhu Xiaobao with palpitations.
Because Teacher Zhu Xiaobao is about to go down the mountain, he is still thinking about finding useful resources, and he always stays in the blessed land of the cave, and he is also very bored, Zhu Xiaobao has not had a good time in Xiyuan City until now! The most important thing is that he is thinking about the transaction with Ye Qinghong, which has not been interrupted, and to Zhu Xiaobao's surprise, there are several kinds of stones that Ye Qinghong sent that he is very interested in, and he can refine a lot of chemical raw materials, but he wants to find the origin of these ores. It's best to see for yourself.
"Alas! These people don't necessarily come for me, do they? Do you want me to stay on this mountain for the rest of my life? Zhu Xiaobao said very depressedly.
"So, you should still practice martial arts diligently, and you should have some self-protection ability!" Tong Wuxin also looked at Zhu Xiaobao a little helplessly and said, to be honest, Zhu Xiaobao's martial arts are really poor, although he has practiced very hard now, that is, he has improved his physical fitness, but the force value seems to have not improved at all!
"Alright! Then tomorrow's deal with Sister Qinghong, you should go! Be careful! Zhu Xiaobao sighed and said, he also knew that it was indeed very troublesome for him to go down the mountain, not only did he have to be protected by many people, but he was also not safe, because these people of unknown origin who appeared now are getting higher and higher, even if Tong Wuxin is a little surprised.
But surprisingly, Ye Qinghong's transaction was not affected at all, and the things were still delivered on time. Now it is not only a transaction, but the information provided by Ye Qinghong is also very important to Zhu Xiaobao here. Because Zhu Xiaobao does not have a wide range of information channels, he can only rely on Ye Qinghong's information network.
This time, Tong Wuxin and Wu Yue not only brought back the goods they traded, but also got two very important pieces of information. First, Ao Yang has recovered from his injury, but he has disappeared again in the past few days, and it is estimated that it is very likely to come back to Xiyuan City. Second, Hu Tielun is rushing to Shahu with people, and it is said that many forces have now sent people to Shahu. Because Sand Lake is the location of the Thunderbolt Hall, many people now attach great importance to the thunderbolt used by the Nineteenth Princess to defeat the Iron Army. Therefore, they all sent people to understand the situation.
"Sand Lake? What is that place? Is it far away? It was the first time Zhu Xiaobao had heard this place, and he asked very curiously.
"Sand Lake does not belong to any country, it is a completely independent place, a thousand miles of desert is such a lake, but it has never dried up. It's a very strange place, and no one of any force is allowed to use force there! Otherwise, everyone will unite and be killed! So although Sand Lake is in the middle of the desert, it is very prosperous, and more importantly, it is a super big trading market, and you can buy anything strange and weird! As long as you have the money! Tong Wuxin said with a little fascination, even she had never been to Sand Lake.
"Can I go then?" Zhu Xiaobao is even more itchy, this is a trade fair!
"No way!" Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin scolded in unison.
"Why? It's not that you can't fight in the sand lake, it's safe! Zhu Xiaobao asked in surprise.
"Humph! Fighting is not allowed inside the Sand Lake, but once it is out of the range of the Sand Lake, it is even more bloody, and the grudges inside are settled outside! It is said that there was also a Wuzun on the outskirts of Sand Lake! Tong Wuxin said with a solemn expression.
"What is Wuzun? Isn't it amazing? Zhu Xiaobao asked very curiously, this was the first time he had heard of this title
"Humph! One Martial Venerable can be worth at least three Great Martial Artists! Wu Yue said yearningly, in her opinion, she may not be able to reach the realm of Wuzun in her life......
