Chapter 56: The First Arrival
"Eight Realms?"
Looking at the burly man in the seat in front of him, Liu Mengzhu smiled lightly and sighed with joy.
The man laughed when he heard this, and sighed: "Yes, the injuries that the chief imperial doctor of the dignified Mongolian royal family can't do anything can be cured by mistake by that group of little guys who haven't even reached the Three Realms!"
"Who would have thought that?" Smiling, Liu Mengzhu withdrew the fingers pressed on the man's wrist and groaned, "Although your internal injuries have been eradicated now, after so many years, the damage to your body is still great, you stay first, and I will help you recuperate." ”
"Okay. Hearing this, the man nodded directly and agreed.
Seeing him so simply, Liu Mengzhu showed a puzzled look, and said curiously: "Since your injuries have recovered, don't you plan to continue to fulfill your dreams......?"
"Ahem!" The man suddenly coughed twice, interrupted Liu Mengzhu's words, and said with a smile, "My dream, someone has already helped me to complete it, so I'm okay now, but ...... Once my injuries heal, there are other things to do. ”
"Oh?" furrowed his eyebrows, Liu Mengzhu looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and said, "It's really ...... to entrust your dreams to others." I can't help but be angry! Is the other party so worthy of your trust? We have been following you for so long, and you insisted on not letting us interfere after you had an accident, but now you have entrusted it to someone else......
Seeing that he was gradually verbose, the man rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and suddenly said, "It's them." ”
"They, what are they?" Liu Mengzhu was stunned when he heard this, and only reacted after a long time, and said in astonishment, "You...... You mean they, those little ghosts who haven't even reached the Three Realms?"
"Yes, it's ...... them" Speaking of this, the man looked at Liu Mengzhu with interest, "Speaking of which, I haven't even reached the Three Realms...... Do you remember when we first met, what kind of cultivation we had?"
Liu Mengzhu was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly scratched his long green hair.
He smiled faintly, and the man's eyes suddenly deepened, as if he remembered something, and only sighed after a long time: "Mengzhu, everyone, ......"
Seeing him ask, Liu Mengzhu couldn't help but put away his smile and said in a low voice, "Everyone is not very good." ”
"I hurt you," the man sighed, "If I hadn't been too persistent in the past, I wouldn't have caused everyone to leave their homes......
Rolling his eyes, Liu Mengzhu muttered: "I didn't stay happy in the Song Dynasty, so I came out to feel the customs outside the Xiaguan, what is the matter with you Tan Wenjun?"
Seeing that his mouth was wrong, the man couldn't help but laugh and laughed directly.
That face full of unruly and unruly face is the Wulong thief...... Big boss!
*——*——*——*
Starting from Chaotianmen of Chongqing Prefecture, along the Jialing River to the north, turning east and west, turning left and right, after a day and a night, everyone finally came to the wharf of Hezhou City.
Because they had already vented their feelings at Chaotianmen Wharf, everyone didn't have much gaffe this time, but even so, when the group of people from the Literature and Art Department stood on the deck and looked at the surrounding scenery, they still couldn't help but feel a surge of heart.
In any case, compared to the main city of Chongqing, Hezhou is the city they are really familiar with, after all, their university is here, except for Chen Meng, Hou Jingru, and Li Yilin, the three freshmen who have been here for less than a year, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Jiang Siyu, and Wu Xue have been here for two years, and Yao Ruoyu has even lived here for four years, and his feelings are extremely deep.
"Hey, hey, you guys, what are you looking at! Hurry down and pay the city tax!"
Just when Yao Ruoyu and the others were in a complicated mood, a shout suddenly came from the shore, and then they saw several men in black suits striding over and shouting at them from afar.
Frowning slightly, Yao Ruoyu threw a look at Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, signaling them to calm down, and then bowed to the man and said, "Okay." With that, he took the lead and walked down the board.
After everyone walked down, a burly man stretched out his hand and counted, and said in a deep voice: "Ten people, each of whom has an entrance fee of two hundred yuan." ”
Frowning slightly, Yao Ruoyu looked back at the people behind him, and then said suspiciously: "There are only eight of us." ”
"Two on board count!" rolled his eyes, and the man replied angrily.
Everyone was furious when they heard this, especially Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and Li Yilin, who were almost about to draw their weapons.
Their group can be regarded as having rolled on the battlefield, and at this moment, when everyone was angry, there was a force that directly emerged, and suddenly the man felt his body tremble, and quickly took half a step back, looked at them vigilantly, and said sharply: "What do you want to do? Lao Tzu is from the Wildfire Society!"
"Isn't the wildfire club?" Seeing his fierce expression, Yao Ruoyu smiled contemptuously.
However, he didn't bother to entangle with the other party more, and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Siyu, who gave him a blank look, but also took out two taels of silver from his waist bag and handed it to him.
After taking the silver and throwing it to the other party, Yao Ruoyu asked casually, "Where is the city?"
Feeling that this group of people was not to be messed with, the man also restrained a little, stretched out his hand, and replied, "Go there, it won't take long to get there." ”
"Hmm. He bowed slightly, and then Yao Ruoyu's eyes swept away the wildfire thieves, and suddenly the group of people quickly dispersed left and right, made way for the eight of them, and let the eight of them go.
Following the direction pointed out by the man, Yao Ruoyu and the others left the dock and walked all the way, and soon came to the center of Hezhou City.
When he saw the scenery in the center of the city, Yao Ruoyu frowned, as far as the eye could see, although it was not as prosperous as the Chaotianmen Wharf, the market here was also lively, at least not as desolate as the boatman said before.
While thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu suddenly heard a commotion, and then saw the shops around the market packing up their things, and then quickly closing the doors and windows, as if they were hiding from something.
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he saw this, then glanced around, and led everyone into a wine inn.
The inn was also packing up and closing the doors and windows, and when they came in, the boss hurriedly greeted them and said with a smile: "I'm sorry guest officer, we're closed, please go back." ”
Smiling, Yao Ruoyu took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it over, and said with a smile: "We are just passing by, let's go to the second floor for breakfast, don't worry, it won't affect you anything." ”
After taking the silver ingot, the boss hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, and said with a smile: "Come on, everyone upstairs, please." After that, he immediately beckoned Xiao Er to take them upstairs.
"Wow, Brother Yao, you actually hid private money. Walking on the stairs, Fu Feng said with a grin.
Rolling his eyes, Yao Ruoyu said angrily: "This is my trophy, okay?"
In the first battle of Fuling City, Yao Ruoyu and others were rewarded with a certain amount of silver because of their meritorious service in killing the enemy. Because these are personal gains, they are all kept by themselves, unlike the silver money given by Chu Yange is all from Jiang Siyu.
Yao Ruoyu killed twenty assassins of the Mandala Organization alone, so the reward was extremely rich, and this was why he could be so generous with a silver ingot.
Walking upstairs, everyone found a table facing the street and sat down, called for a little breakfast, and then looked out the window with great interest, looking forward to the movement below.
After a while, everyone saw a group of big men in black suits running from a distance with swords and other weapons in their hands, and then rushed straight out of the city.
Seeing this scene, Yao Ruoyu called out to Xiao Er, who had just brought a plate of dumplings, and asked, "Xiao Er, what's the situation below?"
Xiao Er glanced down and said with a smile: "Wildfire thieves, oh no, Wildfire will go to Diaoyu City." ”
"Just these people?" Raising his eyebrows, Yao Ruo smiled foolishly, "I heard that Diaoyu City is the residence of the city lord and some powerful people, and its defense should not be weak, right?
"Hey, you can't beat it, but you can surround it!" Smiling, Xiao Er replied, "Diaoyu City is surrounded by mountains, once it is surrounded, the people inside can only eat and store grain, but the harvest has not been good in the past two years, and those powerful people don't have much grain in stock, and when they can't support it, they can only surrender." ”
"Surrender?" Hou Jingru opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "Isn't that a rebellion?"
"Wildfire thieves aren't so stupid, they won't really occupy Diaoyu City," probably seeing that Yao Ruoyu's group of people had a special identity, Xiao Er simply changed back to the title of "wildfire thieves", and said with a smile, "They will only extort some money, and then leave, and wait until they find a reason after a while, and then come to besiege the city for extortion." ”
"Doesn't this Hezhou City Lord know how to find support?" Chen Meng couldn't help but ask.
Smiling, Yao Ruoyu groaned: "I think, he is also afraid that this kind of thing will affect his city lord throne, so he deliberately concealed it, anyway, the extorted money can still be taken from the common people." ”
"Childe is insightful!" smiled and cocked his thumb, Xiao Er sighed, "Every time the wildfire thieves are extorted, the city lord's mansion will come here to collect taxes, and what is the reputation of raising troops to protect the city...... If it weren't for the White Crane Academy, we would have been hacked to death by those horse bandits and bandits, phew!"
Hearing this, Wu Xue rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Let's go see the excitement, shall we?"
"Hey, girl, don't go," Xiao Er hurriedly dissuaded when he heard this, "Those wildfire thieves are all thugs who kill people without blinking, there is the White Crane Academy in this city, they are still a little more restrained, but once they get out of the city, they don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one!"
But at this time, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and others were also interested, this group of people was not afraid of heaven and earth, or their nerves were too thick, especially after the battle of Fuling City, they didn't put this group of local thieves in their eyes.
Seeing that everyone was full of interest, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly, although he also felt a little dangerous, but he did have a great interest in the wildfire thieves attacking Diaoyu City, so he finally nodded and agreed.
"Oh yes!" raised his hand with a grin, Wu Xue said happily, "Let's go quickly!"
"Well," bowing slightly, Yao Ruoyu said to Xiao Er, "Leave us eight rooms, and the money will come out of the ingots from before, if it's not enough, wait for us to come back." ”
"Chenghao!" Seeing that they insisted on going over to see the excitement, Xiao Er had no choice but to nod and agree.
Under Wu Xue's urging, everyone quickly ate it up early, and then followed the group of wildfire thieves out of Hezhou City.
