Chapter 8: Blocking the Road
The square-faced man at the head stopped the lean man's shouting, walked out of the team for three steps, and shouted at Chu Xu with his fists in his fists: "The leader of the Fang family's guards in Xiahongcheng, Fang Zheng, escort our young lady home, I don't know where your Excellency is." Looking at the two people not far away, one lying on a high tree without saying a word, dressed in black, sitting there as if he was one with the environment, if he hadn't just moved himself, he would never have noticed it, the other young man, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a seat of long hair, was simply tied up with a straw rope, a white robe, looked chic and uninhibited, but it seemed that there was no breath fluctuation, it seemed to be the son of a family, but there were only two people, in this night, such a combination seemed very weird, and no one was careless.
Only then did Chu Xu realize that the man opposite was talking to himself, looked at Tan Jue, and knew in his heart that this thing should be too lazy to take care of it. Are you too lazy to take care of it? Chu Xu also learned from the Han Zi and said, "In Xia Chu Xu, go to Hongcheng to study, this big brother on this tree is to protect my safety." ”
Looking at the bonfire that has been extinguished for a long time, and this deep footprint, it is obvious that he has been here for a long time, and this young man should not be a group of demons. couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Chu Xu: "Could it be the son of the Jiangdong Chu family?"
"Fei Ye, Fei Ye, it's just a small family under it, and I don't dare to cling to the relationship. Chu Xu chuckled.
A trace of disappointment passed through Fang Zheng's heart, he thought that the two of them dared to stay in the forest on the outskirts of Hongcheng late at night should be people from a big family, with high skills, but they were old rivers and lakes, Fang Zheng's face did not show any expression, and said to Chu Xu kindly: "Master Chu, there is something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if it is possible?"
"Oh, I don't know what. Chu Xu looked at each other curiously, a group of people on the other side seemed to be guarding against something, all the way, they had to watch carefully, and although they didn't know much about the rules of the cultivation world, but when they met at night, everyone had nothing to do with it.
"I want to borrow your carriage for the next time. ”
"Oh, borrow my carriage, then why should I hurry, what if I don't borrow it?" Chu Xu squinted at Fang Zheng, and Tan Jue on the tree also glanced at Fang Zheng obliquely.
Fang Zheng felt a chill drifting through his heart, he was a dignified junior warrior, he would actually feel the cold, with his own cultivation, he was also the number one person in Hongcheng, these two people were so young, could they bring a threat to themselves? Fang Zheng hurriedly explained: "Of course not, we are not secret, we are being chased and killed by the two elders of the Demon Sect, and we finally got rid of it, so I want to borrow your carriage for use, just wait for us to rush back to Hongcheng, there will be heavy thanks, Your Excellency can come to the door at any time, and the whole Fang family will be treated as VIPs." ”
"Demon Sect?" Chu Xu asked with a smile, "Why did the Demon Sect chase and kill you." ”
"This... Fang Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.
"For this. I saw one of the two people who was protected come out and said, she was holding a turquoise red-bearded grass in her hand, and I saw that this grass seemed to have charm in the moonlight, and slowly swallowed. The second-order best spiritual material, Yuehua Grass, can swallow Yuehua under the moon, and has a significant healing effect on soul damage. Speaking of spiritual materials, we have to talk about the classification of spiritual materials, from the first grade to the ninth grade, the first grade of spiritual materials corresponds to the range of use by martial artists, and the second grade corresponds to the samurai, and the 100-day alchemy grass given by Chu Rou before is the third-grade spiritual material and it is also the best, so you can imagine how cherished it is.
"Treasure hunting?" Chu Xu glanced at the moon flower grass, and then looked at the girl, who looked no more than ten years old, with a melon seed face, a graceful figure, long black hair draped straight around the waist, and a purple dress and a cyan cloak, sassy and heroic.
"That's right, robbing the treasure and killing people, if it was just property, it would be a big deal to hand it over to save your life, but this Yuehua grass is of great use to the elders of the family, even if you give up this life, you can't give it up. Miss Fang said with a resolute face. Fang Min intuitively felt that the person in front of him was not simple, in such an environment, there was no emotional fluctuation when he heard the Demon Sect. Generally, there are only two kinds of people, one is a fledgling who doesn't know anything, and the other is a big sect that doesn't need to be feared at all.
"I will swear to protect Miss to the death, and protect Yuehua Grass and send it back to the family. Hearing what their own young lady said, the guards were also aroused in their hearts, and they expressed their loyalty one by one.
Chu Xu looked at such a scene and sighed, it's not simple, there is a way to control people, a simple sentence will make people throw their heads and spill blood.
"That's the case, the gentleman is the beauty of an adult, Miss Fang, it's better to wait until dawn, and then set off, even if you set off at this moment, it's so dark that it's not safe, and it's easy to get lost, stay until tomorrow, give you a carriage on the road." Chu Xu said lightly.
"It's just, Young Master Chu, with us. Miss Fang said hesitantly, although she felt that it was not simple, but she didn't think that they could directly compete with the two elders of Xuan Ming, after all, age was here, unless it was the leader of a famous faction, it was possible.
"It's okay, let's take a break, and let's go together at dawn. After speaking, Chu Xu walked to the tree and sat down to rest.
"Miss?" Fang Zheng asked.
"Since Gongzi Chu is not afraid, we don't want a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the road is indeed more unsafe at night, just follow what Gongzi Chu said. Miss Fang, said.
"Yes. After that, he arranged for everyone to clean up and prepare to rest.
####################
It's dawn.
"Young master, young master, wake up. Chu Xu watched Xiaolian squatting in front of him, gently waving his little hand in front of him, and couldn't help but wake up.
"What's wrong, Xiaolian. Chu Xu came back to his senses. ”
"The man of the Fang family asked me to invite you to discuss the matter of departure. ”
"Oh, yes, I've said I'm going to leave at dawn, and I'll see that it's been a while. Chu Xu said suddenly.
"What Captain Fang means, you guys are guarding the back, and Miss is riding in the same carriage with us, oh, can you rest assured?" Chu Xu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Miss means to fully believe in Chu Gongzi, since Chu Gongzi dares to go with us, of course we don't need to worry about Chu Gongzi's injury. Fang Zheng stared at Chu Xu and said, "I also know that the son takes care of my young lady." ”
"Definitely. Chu Xu looked at Fang Zheng and said.
Chu Xu and Tan Jue sat on the left and right sides of the carriage, while Miss Fang and her maid sat in the carriage with Xiaolian. The carriage moved slowly, and they were divided into two sides to guard the carriage
Chu Xu, who was sitting outside the carriage, said to Fang Zheng, "Captain Fang, it seems that we are lucky, there are no major problems along the way. ”
"Yes, only after crossing the stone bridge will you arrive in Hongcheng, and when you get to Hongcheng, your demon sect will never dare to do it. Fang Zheng seemed to be in a good mood because he was almost there, and he also began to joke with Chu Xu.
All the way forward, the carriage drove to the stone bridge, and saw three people on the stone bridge. One person has red hair and a cane, old and wrinkled, and the other two are twin brothers, the old face can't see the difference, the face is gloomy, and he sneered: "It's finally waiting for you." ”
