Looking at the two fresh leaves in his palm, Xu Chen was shocked, and his brows furrowed again.

It would not be surprising if it was an ordinary leaf, but it was found everywhere in this open field, and the key point was that these two leaves together were exactly a complete leaf, which was cut in half by a sharp blade.

No matter how stupid Xu Chen was, he knew the reason, it must be that when the accomplice of the robed monster rescued him just now, he threw this leaf with his hand to dissolve his sword qi.

With just a single leaf, he crushed his true qi contained in the Ice Sword, presumably this monster's cultivation should not be underestimated, if he wanted to take his own life, it would be as easy as a finger!

At this moment, the cold sweat on Xu Chen's forehead flowed out, he knew that the monster's subordinates were merciful, otherwise, if the enemy unleashed a fierce blow, he was afraid that he would have reached the ghost gate now!

No wonder these two monsters dared to go to Black Wind Mountain unscrupulously, it turned out that their strength was terrifying to such a point! Xu Chen couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, and secretly said that he was lucky for his previous misjudgment.

It was only then that he realized that if this monster really wanted to plot against Huang Xiaoxue, he would never have a chance to take this young lady away from Black Wind Mountain safely from them.

Xu Chen no longer dared to delve into the true motives of the two monsters, he turned around and walked briskly towards his accommodation. If you stay here for a long time, and those two monsters come back to retrieve the lost parchment, then you will be really lucky.

When he was safe to return to the house, he quickly rolled the sheepskin in his arms in front of the lamp and looked at it, and found that the scroll depicted a topographical map of a high mountain, and a few words were written in cinnabar halfway up the right corner of the mountain. It's a pity that Xu Chen doesn't know these characters, first, he is not highly educated, and he only learned some simple and commonly used Chinese characters in Chongwu Mountain; more importantly, these characters have thick beginnings and thin tails, and the shape is like tadpole-like strokes and curves, which is obviously a kind of ancient font that has been lost, how can he recognize it.

And the high mountain painted in the volume, Xu Chen couldn't recognize which famous mountain and dangerous peak it was, so in the end he had to blow out the lights and climb into bed, now he wants to sleep well, and then get up early the next day to take Huang Xiaoxue out of the land of right and wrong.

The next day, Xu Chen woke up when the rooster crowed, he washed up indiscriminately, and went to the opposite room to check Huang Xiaoxue's movements.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaoxue got up earlier than him, and now he was leaning in front of the window to look at the scenery in the distance, and when he heard Xu Chen greeting him outside the house, he opened the door to welcome him in.

Xu Chen didn't want to tell her what happened last night, so he euphemistically said that he was afraid that the owner of Huang Zhuang was worried about the whereabouts of the two of them, and urged her to hurry back to Qingping County as soon as possible.

Huang Xiaoxue didn't want her father to worry about her day and night, so she lowered her neck and agreed to Xu Chen's suggestion.

After expressing his gratitude to the generals guarding the pass, Xu Chen and the two went on the road, fortunately they didn't encounter any trouble after that, the two monsters seemed to be afraid of the power of Shangzhou and never reappeared, and Xu Chen finally returned to Qingping County safely.

Before he arrived at the gate of the city, he heard the noise of gongs and drums in front of him, Xu Chen thought that it was a happy event that he didn't pay attention to, but when he saw a horse flying in the dust, he quickly dismounted and politely saluted Xu Chen when he arrived in front of them.

Before Xu Chen could understand what was going on, Huang Xiaoxue in the car had already lifted the curtain and poked her head out and said in a coquettish voice, "Ding Bo, why are you here?"

"Miss Hui's words, it was the master who asked the old slave to greet you. ”

"Ah, how did Daddy know that we were coming back at this time?" Huang Xiaoxue looked surprised, she got out of the carriage and introduced to Xu Chen that the half-white old man in front of her was Ding Cheng, the housekeeper of Mingyue Villa.

Xu Chen was also shocked, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted, but also wondered how Huang Zhongjie knew that he had rescued his baby daughter and accurately guessed the time when he would return to Qingping County.

After Ding Cheng returned the salute, he explained the reason to the two with a smile on his face.

It turned out that the general guarding the pass was Huang Zhongjie's close friend for many years, and when he stayed at Xu Chen's banquet yesterday, he had arranged for his subordinates to pass on the book to Huang Zhongjie in advance to inform Huang Zhongjie of the good news. Huang Zhongjie learned that Xu Chen was riding a Qiji BMW and calculated the time when they would return, so he arranged for the housekeeper and Yahuan in the village to meet the two at the city gate early.

Xu Chen was also happy, he felt that this kind of courtesy was too grand, and he hurriedly followed Ding Cheng to the city, and only then did he walk to the city gate, Xu Chen's eyes were round, he never expected that Huang Zhongjie would make such a big pomp to welcome his return.

Not only did he invite many musicians to play and play, but some maiko danced in the crowd, and they kept sprinkling flowers on him when they saw Xu Chen coming.

Among the people who greeted him, there were not only people from Mingyue Villa, but also many local famous families, and even the county magistrate brought a group of officials to support Huang Zhongjie. Not to mention the people who rushed to see the excitement when they heard the wind, the scene was simply crowded, if it weren't for a few sturdy men pushing everyone away in front of them, Xu Chen would almost not be able to reach Huang Zhongjie.

As soon as Xu Chen wanted to say something polite, he saw Huang Zhongjie's legs bent and wanted to salute him. Xu Chen was suddenly shocked, no matter what the reason, he didn't dare to accept Huang Zhongjie's worship, he hurriedly bent down to support the body of the owner of the village, and said that the owner of the village should not be like this, this is something like this.

The heroes and heroes around him didn't want to see him messing up and saluting the juniors, so they all stepped forward to hug Huang Zhongjie, which allowed Xu Chen to get out of the way and not look embarrassed.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, everyone crowded up, and kept saying compliments and praises to him, Xu Chen listened to it in his heart, but he was not good at communicating, just when he was struggling to cope, he suddenly heard a gong, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that the crowd was separated on both sides, the county magistrate stepped forward with a smile and made a move, and the two officials behind him hung the red satin that had been prepared on Xu Chen's body.

Xu Chen was overjoyed and surprised, and before he could speak, the county master poured a bowl of wine to salute him, and Xu Chen quickly took it and drank it all in flattery.

When Xu Chen finished drinking, the county magistrate said with appreciation: "The hero is so young, he actually eradicated all the three evils in the south of the Yangtze River, it is really a great merit, benefiting the people, and the official thanked Xu Shaoxia on behalf of the parents and villagers of the county." ”

Xu Chen hurriedly returned the salute, and responded modestly with a few words, even saying that he didn't dare to take it.

The county magistrate smiled and asked: "Such a heroic feat, why don't Xu Shaoxia tell us about it here, so as to increase my Shangzhou ambition." ”

"Since the adults ask for each other, how can there be any reason not to obey fate. Xu Chen was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and told the whole process of rescuing Huang Xiaoxue in detail on the spot.

Of course, he also concealed Zhang Youde's despicable behavior of plotting against him as he stated to Huang Xiaoxue before, and this was still done to protect the reputation of Chongwu Mountain.

As he spoke, Xu Chen, who was originally dancing with his eyebrows, suddenly spoke in a low voice, and he almost couldn't speak, because at this time he had already talked about the plot of attacking the Black Wind Mountain and looking for the Chaotian Tiger.

Because his vanity began to play tricks, he secretly thought that if he told everyone the truth, the Chaos Tiger was killed by the Huang family's daughter, wouldn't this show his heroism at all.

Just when he was a little hesitant, Huang Xiaoxue behind the crowd seemed to know his thoughts, and squeezed forward and said, "Thanks to Xu Gongzi for defeating the thief and killing him with a sword, the slave family was lucky enough to get out." ”

After listening to her warbler and swallow words, everyone immediately cheered, and all of them cast admiring glances at Xu Chen, this deliberate cover-up made Xu Chen's eyes dodge, and he didn't dare to face Huang Xiaoxue head-on, and was surprised why this unruly and willful daughter wanted to help herself speak at this time and give the credit to others.

Huang Zhongjie said a little unhappily: "It's all because I didn't discipline you strictly, which caused such a big disaster." Look at you like this, showing up like a boy all day long, that's a bit of everyone's beautiful temperament!"

Huang Xiaoxue heard her father's scolding, and immediately bowed her head and was silent, Huang Zhongjie hurriedly asked a few family members to bring a sedan chair and instructed them to send their daughter back to Mingyue Villa.

After the arrangement was completed, he came over to express his gratitude to Xu Chen, and the two were polite to each other, and then several people dressed as businessmen stepped forward to salute Xu Chen and said, "I'll give you a little care, and I hope the young man will smile." ”

Xu Chen was guessing what gifts these merchants were going to give him, when he saw several sturdy men in coarse cloth shirts carrying up two heavy wooden boxes, and the leader opened them, and his eyes were full of golden dazzling colors.
