"Just a few mantis craftsmen, they also hide in remote places to pick bamboo, it's not strange to steal." Xixia hummed.

"These monsters are called Mantis Craftsmen?" Li Changjing was very interested, and saw that the monster was in a group of two, sawing back and forth, and the speed was amazingly fast.

"Well, they are specially used for harvesting, not only can they cut and saw, but they are also good at carrying, each of them is infinitely powerful, of course, they are used to fight in times of crisis, and they are also extremely powerful warriors."

Li Changjing listened with relish, and asked casually, "How do you know so clearly about the matter of Juzhu Valley?" ”

Several praying mantis craftsmen seemed to be tireless, and the long saws in their arms were extremely sharp, but even so, a golden spirit bamboo that had been sawn to the point of only a little connection was delayed, showing a very amazing hardness and vitality.

Li Changjing didn't answer, turned his head to look, and saw that the girl bit her cherry lips and her face was cloudy, and she couldn't help but be taken aback, "What's wrong?" ”

Xixia shook her head, "It's nothing. ”

Someone in the distance suddenly shouted: "This can't be done, I have been doing it for most of the day, but I haven't picked ten roots, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in three days!" ”

Li Changjing's heart jumped, just as he felt that this voice was very familiar, before he had time to think about it, two people had already walked side by side, one of them was He Tianxiang, and he suddenly realized in his heart: "It turned out to be this voice." ”

Another person who was traveling with him was about the same age as him, about 25 years old, with a silk crown and a silk scarf tied around his waist, and his clothes were very gorgeous, and he sighed: "Brother He, don't worry, there is no way, the situation seems to be very tight in recent months, Bengu has to hand over a large number of materials and various finished products, and there are frequent people below to check, and the old man is also very strict, and he is like a thief to prevent his own people." ”

He Tianxiang frowned and said, "This bamboo is too hard, and it is difficult to harvest, can't you get a few more mantis craftsmen to help?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "There is really no way, the old man has ordered before leaving, without his permission, no one is allowed to use the mantis craftsmen in the valley, these are still I secretly got them with great difficulty, if I am found back, I will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Li Changjing saw that his face was pale, and his speech was weak and weak, and he thought to himself, how could this person be sick and dressed so luxuriously, I don't know who it is?

He Tianxiang's face was a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that I have already boasted about Haikou in front of others, if you don't get the bamboo back, you will have to don't congratulate, do you want to think of a way?" ”

The man just shook his head, very embarrassed.

"Isn't the old man already out of the valley, what are you worried about?" He Tianxiang's face became even more ugly.

The man sighed and said, "In addition to the old man, there is also a manager Zhao in the valley, this guy is more annoying than the old man, and he doesn't buy my account at all." ”

He Tianxiang raised his voice and said angrily: "I don't believe it, as the young master in this valley, he can help you as a slave!" ”

Li Changjing was a little surprised, and said in his heart that this person was the young master of Juzhu Valley, but how could he be so cowardly and let He Tianxiang drink and drink?

The young master of the Giant Bamboo Valley said with a bitter face: "You also know that the surname Zhao is not an ordinary minion, he is the person brought by the old man from below, and his methods are very powerful." ”

He Tianxiang stared at him, suddenly suppressed his voice and said coldly: "Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan, don't you play this game with me, you drank in my fort that night, and secretly slept with my little Zi'er, do you think I don't know?" ”

Liu Xuan's face changed, and he immediately piled up a smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "Little brother should be damned!" I drank too much that night, otherwise even if the little brother had the heart of a bear and a leopard, he would never dare to touch a hair of his brother's concubine! ”

Li Changjing was stunned, and then secretly hated in his heart: "It turns out that the surname He has a wife, but he still came to fight Xu Huairou's idea, it's really damned!" ”

He Tianxiang said coldly: "You don't dare? I see you are bold, what did you say to her that night? Say what will happen to you if she follows you? ”

Liu Xuan took a step back, his face turned blue and said, "Brother spare his life, those are all drunken nonsense, and they can't be ...... seriously."

He Tianxiang suddenly eased his face and said kindly: "What about this...... Actually, brother, I also understand that I drank too much wine......"

Liu Xuan hurriedly flattered: "Brother is magnanimous, I'll find a way to help you cut bamboo!" ”

He Tianxiang smiled, "Isn't that right...... Wait for the next time you go out of the valley, brother, I will send you a few rare beauties, if it is inconvenient for you to bring back to the valley, then I will help you get a beautiful garden outside, how about a golden house to hide Jiaojiao? ”

Liu Xuan shuddered: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......" His expression was cloudy, and he looked like he was spitting out.

He Tianxiang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If you like it, how about my little Zi'er also give it to my brother?" ”

Li Changjing was taken aback, and was furious in his heart: "This guy wants to give away the concubine? My own woman said that she would send it, what a real animal! ”

Liu Xuan was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This ...... "peeked at He Tianxiang with his eyes, as if judging whether what he said was true or false."

He Tianxiang said with a smile: "Women, no matter how good they are, they are just a piece of clothing, how can they compare to the brotherhood of my brothers!" I only hope that my brother will take care of my brother more in the future and sell more good things in the valley to give me the Demon Castle. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Liu Xuan smiled, patted his chest and said, "Brother's great kindness and great virtue are deeply remembered by my little brother!" ”

He Tianxiang said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, my little Zi'er is really very annoying, and that waist is so amorous...... Haha, what man can not be tempted! ”

"Yes, that night, I was almost in the sky......" Liu Xuan's face was full of excitement, and he glanced at He Tianxiang, understanding each other, and laughed loudly together, prodigal.

Li Changjing listened to the more they talked, the more obscene he became, and he just wanted to cover his ears, but suddenly heard a soft shout of "Hey", and then remembered that there was a girl next to him.

Xixia whispered, "That guy is a friend who came with you?" ”

Li Changjing turned his head and saw her staring at him, with a look of similar things on her face, and hurriedly drew a line to show her innocence, "No, I don't know him at all, and there are even contradictions." ”

Xixia looked at him with a smile, her gaze slowly moving from his face and landing on his reddened ears.

Li Changjing hurriedly distinguished: "Then He Tianxiang boasted that he could get Jin Lingzhu, so we came with him." ”

"You guys? Who else? Xixia asked.

"And the soft ...... A good friend of mine. Li Changjing didn't know how to explain the relationship between the two, so he could only learn from Miss Xu to be called a friend.

"Oh, why didn't you see her?" The girl then asked.

"She's still ......" Li Changjing wanted to speak and stopped, thinking of the madness on the giant nest, he couldn't help but feel a fever on his face.

"Why don't you say it?" Xixia smiled, and her eyes that were as bright as stars were full of curiosity.

At this time, I heard Liu Xuan in the distance say: "The little brother will be out today!" In this case, I'll go back to Giant Bamboo Fort now and see if I can steal a few more mantis craftsmen and try to get enough bamboo before it gets dark." ”

He Tianxiang's face was full of joy, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a thunderous shout: "Who is stealing bamboo?" Impatient to live! ”

The strong wind suddenly rose, and I saw a monster rushing out of the dense place of the bamboo forest like lightning, shaped like a spider and as big as a truck, with tiger stripes all over its body, and its feet were like long hooks, and there was a person sitting on it, with a broad face and white beard, and sharp eyes, wearing bamboo armor, carrying a spear on his back, and a brilliant cyan bell hanging from his waist.

Liu Xuan and He Tianxiang's faces changed greatly, and then they saw a team of patrol spearmen rushing out of the forest, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the two of them and the four praying mantis craftsmen.

"Mr. Zhao, it's me!" Liu Xuan hurriedly shouted.

"It turned out to be the young master." Manager Zhao swept his eyes around, but he didn't get off his mount, but said lightly: "Dare to ask the young master, I don't know what to do here?" ”

Liu Xuan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, coughed dryly, and said in a low voice: "In order to resist the army of monsters, the lord of He Shaobao of Demon Castle specially came to my valley to ask for a few bamboos, because there are not many of them, and the matter is urgent, so I took it upon myself to take him here to pick bamboo first, and was about to call someone to report to the chief manager, but I didn't expect the old manager to arrive first." ”

Manager Zhao said expressionlessly: "Before the valley master left, he had already ordered that no one was allowed to pick bamboo without authorization, didn't the young master know?" ”

"This ......" Liu Xuan said embarrassedly: "Because the situation is urgent, and my father is not here, I have to pick some first, and I will explain it to my father in person when I go back." ”

"Nope." Manager Zhao snorted and refused categorically.

Liu Xuan's face turned white, "This time the matter is really urgent, and I ask Mr. Zhao to open up the pipe, as for my father's side, I will naturally take care of it at that time." ”

"Please forgive the old slave for not being able to agree, since the valley master has entrusted me with everything in the valley, the old slave will not dare to violate the valley master's order if he dies." Although Manager Zhao called himself an old slave to Liu Xuan, he said that there was no room for reversal.

He Tianxiang saw that the situation was not good, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but when he saw the terrible mount that Chief Manager Zhao was riding, he immediately suppressed the idea of resisting.

Li Changjing's eyes were already tightly attracted by the huge spider-shaped monster, and he asked in a low voice: "Is Chief Zhao's mount the Tiger Spider Chariot?" ”

"Well, but it's not the kind that was supplied to Ma Tianying before." Xixia whispered in response.

Li Changjing said curiously: "Are there many kinds of tiger spider chariots?" And what kind of one is offered to the Tenquila? ”

"There are four kinds of them, and the one for the Ma Tianying is specially made, and in order to meet the needs of the battlefield, the body is much larger than this one, one can only be multiplied by four to six people, and it carries more weapons."

Li Changjing smacked his tongue and admired the craftsmanship of Juzhu Valley.

"Someone! The bamboo points that have been harvested are recorded in the book, and then all are sealed in situ. Manager Zhao shouted, he glanced at Liu and He, and said: "Today's matter, wait for the valley master to come back and make a decision, but if someone commits it again, then blame this seat for being ruthless!" ”
