"Who knows what space thinks?!" Hearing this, Ren Xia's face couldn't help but show worry.

"Now it seems that we can only take one step at a time." Shaking his head, Zhang Shuo immediately looked at Ren Xia and said, "Are you going to leave now or follow me?" If you want to leave now, I won't stop you. ”

"No, I'd better follow you!" After listening to Zhang Shuo's words, Ren Xia was moved for a while, and finally after thinking about it, she decided to stay. The main quest hasn't appeared yet, and after leaving, you may meet again in order to complete the mission, not to mention that you will encounter danger at that time, so it's better not to leave.

"Okay, that's up to you!" Nodding, Zhang Shuo didn't say anything more.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he went down the mountain, Zhang Shuo added the skill points that were rewarded for completing the task to the steel body, and as for the attribute points, they naturally kept them.

C-level skill - Iron Body (level 9 +1): After using the skill, the body is like steel, and the defense is greatly increased, and in the next 24+3 minutes, the defense increases by 80+15 points. The skill costs 50 energy.

Body of Steel Level 5 Effect: Gain +10 extra defense

Iron Body Level 10 Effect: Skill cooldown removed, +10 extra defense points

"Very good!" Seeing the attributes of the skill, Zhang Shuo smiled in his heart, his favorite is the effect after the skill reaches level 10, although the increased defense is not much, but the removal of the skill cooldown time is happy.

"The contractor used the skill Iron Body, and in the next 27 minutes, the defense was temporarily +115 points!"

Since the skill has no cooldown, Zhang Shuo immediately used the skill to increase the defense, so as not to be attacked without paying attention. As for the 50 points of energy consumed by using skills, not to mention that he can recover after dozens of seconds, compared to the energy he has now, before the battle, it is still not worse than this 50 points of energy.

After coming to the bottom of the mountain to meet the soldiers there, Zhang Shuo waved them to follow, and rode in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion.

Not long after walking, a centurion saw that the direction of walking was going to Qingzhou Mansion, and he couldn't help but step forward and say, "My lord, can I go directly to Qingzhou Mansion?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Shuo nodded, turned his head to look at the centurion, and asked, "What, is there any problem?" ”

"The little ones don't dare!" The centurion clenched his fists, thought about it and said: "Some of the brothers below still have some family items in Qingfeng Village, my lord, look, should I go back there?" ”

"And that kind of thing?" Zhang Shuo couldn't help frowning when he heard this, now that it was getting dark, he naturally wanted to rush back to Qingzhou immediately. However, I don't know if these soldiers will be used in the main quest, so I can't refuse, so I have to say: "Okay, then let's go to Qingfeng Village first!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The centurion bowed with joy and withdrew.

As soon as the centurion left, Ren Xia couldn't help but say, "What was your original plan?" ”

Zhang Shuo glanced at Ren Xia, who was asking, and said: "Go to Qingzhou to find Murong Yanda, first, to tell him about the completion of the task, and second, to see if there will be a main quest on his side, after all, there are only a few people we have contacted." ”

"That's it!" Ren Xia nodded and didn't say anything more.

With his soldiers turned to Qingfeng Village, when Zhang Shuo returned to Qingfeng Village with his men, it was already ten minutes of nightfall. Qingfeng Village did not have the situation that he imagined to be occupied, and Song Jiang and the others did not occupy Qingfeng Village at all, which made him feel relieved and couldn't help but guess what kind of purpose they had.

After letting his soldiers rest in the village, Zhang Shuo and Ren Xia lived in the place where Liu Gao originally lived. Liu Gao's wife and family fled to Qingzhou Mansion as early as when he died, and even his subordinates were taken away, but now there is no one in this place.

In the evening, after Zhang Shuo finished eating the food sent by the soldiers, he came to the compound to practice his skills. The entire Qingfeng Village is full of soldiers, and there is not even a place to entertain, except for training, he really doesn't know what to do to pass the time.

That night, Qingfeng Village was not attacked, which made Zhang Shuo sigh, but he also arranged for soldiers to keep vigil and let them be careful, originally wanted to be Zhuge Liang, but he didn't want to be just a stinker after all.

Early the next morning, after Zhang Shuo had eaten morning and evening, he immediately left Qingfeng Village with his soldiers and went to Qingzhou Mansion. Even though it was inconvenient to walk with a large group of people, he still arrived at Qingzhou Mansion in less than an hour.

After arriving at Qingzhou Mansion, Zhang Shuo asked his centurion to take his soldiers to the barracks, while he took Ren Xia and the two went to the mansion together. At this time, it was not easy to determine where Murong Yanda would be, so he had to go to the mansion to try his luck first, and if he was not there, it would not be too late to go to his mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, he asked the official on duty outside, and after learning that Murong Yanda was in the mansion, Zhang Shuo asked him to go in to report it, and he and Ren Xia were waiting outside for the summons.

Not long after the yacha entered, he walked out, took Zhang Shuo and Ren Xia and walked towards the inside of the mansion, and after turning around, he saw Murong Yanda in a hall.

"Meet your lord!" Zhang Shuo and Ren Xia clasped their fists together and saluted Murong Yanda, who was sitting in the middle of the hall.

"Excuse me!" Murong Yanda waved his hand, looked at Zhang Shuo and said: "Zhang Dujian, this government has been reported this morning, it is said that the Qingfeng Mountain thieves and Erlong Mountain thieves in Qingzhou have fled Qingzhou, and the thieves in Peach Blossom Mountain have been exterminated, and your credit is not small." ”

"Your Excellency has good leadership, and the lower officials will be able to take down those thieves in one fell swoop." Zhang Shuo arched his hand and patted his ass slightly. The other party said that he would be promoted, and he didn't mind patting the other party's ass before he was promoted.

"Hahaha, Zhang Dujian is humble!" Murong Yanda laughed when he heard this, and he seemed very happy, but after a while, he sighed and said: "With Zhang Du Jian here, there will definitely be no thieves in Qingzhou Mansion who dare to fall into the grass, but unfortunately the prefect of Jiangzhou Lord Cai came to the rescue a few days ago, hoping that the government can send a capable cadre over." Thinking of serving the imperial court, the government agreed, and wrote a letter explaining that Zhang Dujian would be sent over, but Zhang Dujian would be an official in Jiangzhou in the future. ”

"Jiangzhou?" Listening to Murong Yanda's words, Zhang Shuo's thoughts turned, but on the surface, he clenched his fists and said: "Thank you Lord Prefect for your promotion, Xia Guan has today's achievements, and thank you Lord Prefect for your cultivation." ”

"Hey!" Murong Yanda waved his hand when he heard this: "You have today's achievements, that is your ability, and this government has not contributed much." As he spoke, he picked up a card on the table next to him and said, "This is your official letter, when you arrive in Jiangzhou, you will go to the prefect Lord Cai, and he will arrange it for you." ”

"The contractor has triggered the C-level side quest [Inauguration], and the reward for completing the task is 1000 soul points, and there is no penalty for failing the mission!!"

"Mission Objective: Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, deliberately asked Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, for help because of the unpeaceful relationship in Jiangzhou, and Murong Yanda wrote a letter recommending the contractor to go. The contractor must arrive in Jiangzhou within half a month and meet Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou. ”

Quest Tips: "The journey from Jiangzhou to Qingzhou is not short, and the contractor had better be prepared for a long journey." ”

Quest Prompt: "There are many bandits in Jiangzhou, and the contractor can choose not to take up his post and take up his post directly in Qingzhou." If you choose not to take up your post, you will not complete the task, nor will you fail the task. ”

"Did the contractor take the task?"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Shuo answered, bowed forward and took the post. In his heart, he took over the task, although 1000 soul points is a bit less, but this may be related to the main quest, so he can't help but accept it.

"Smack!" Seeing that Zhang Shuo took the post, Murong Yanda clapped his hands, and after a maid brought a plate to the table, he first waved her down, then uncovered the red cloth on the plate, picked up the two ingots of silver inside, and said: "This mansion has nothing to give you, this hundred taels of silver is the coil that the mansion gave you as your road to Jiangzhou." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Shuo bowed down and thanked him, and when he took the silver tael, he deliberately looked at it, and found that it was the same as what Liu Gao gave, and after being able to exchange 1,000 soul points, he was very happy to put it away.

"Hmm!" Murong Yanda nodded, then looked at Ren Xia who was standing on the side and said: "You are a guest of the mansion, you are also meritorious this time, the mansion will give you a fortune, you also go to Jiangzhou, and then follow the orders of Lord Cai, the prefect of Jiangzhou." With that, he picked up the remaining card on the table.

"Yes, sir!" Ren Xia answered, and the result was a post.

The two who got the Cambodian post did not leave immediately, but stayed for a while, and only then left after listening to Murong Yanda's instructions.

Walking out of the gate of the mansion and walking on the street, Ren Xia saw Zhang Shuo's thoughtful expression, and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Shuo, what are you thinking?" ”

Glancing at Ren Xia who was asking, Zhang Shuo turned to look at the government and said, "You say, if we kill Murong Yanda, what will we gain?" Or, if we take the bandits to the palace, will there be a golden treasure chest? ”

"I don't know what the harvest will be if you kill Murong Yanda, but if you kill the mansion, I think the possibility of the golden treasure chest appearing is still very high." Speaking of this, Ren Xia shook her head and smiled: "But you can still think about the former, don't think about the latter, there are so many soldiers in the government over there, who knows if there are any powerful ones." If a golden chest could appear, do you think it would be so easy for you to knock it down? ”

"Maybe!" Zhang Shuo smiled and didn't say anything. He is now on the side of the imperial court, and if he sneaks up, the possibility of success is still very high. It's just that it's not worth the risk when you're not sure of the rewards, especially if the main quest hasn't come up yet.
