Chapter 40: Dumbfounded

At noon, Zhang Chao and others returned to Cannes.

After all, they are more or less wounded, and their physical exertion is too great, and it is by no means a few hours of rest that can be relieved.

In addition, Qiao Ruixue had an injury on her leg, she didn't care when she chased Zhang Chao frantically before, and ripped the wound open, and she was a big girl with yellow flowers, so it didn't matter who she let go, and her temper was stubborn, which seriously slowed down the speed of their return.

However, her mouth was not idle, and she kept arguing with Zhang Chao along the way.

It's a pity that Zhang Chao has honed his kung fu with his master for more than ten years, how can she compare to Zhang Chao when she Qiao Ruixue is a beautiful girl?

So, she's been suffering.

The more she suffers, the angrier she becomes, and then provokes trouble again.

After that, it will be defeated again.

Along the way, I don't know how many times she has been defeated by Zhang Chao.

At first, Qiao Heng and the others would persuade each other, but then they didn't squeak at all, they should be to relieve boredom and watch the excitement, anyway, no matter how they say it, it's useless, it's better not to waste that effort.

They can see that these two people are a pair of enemies, and if they don't fight, they are not comfortable.

"Okay, the two of you are almost there, right? It's been a long fight, and I can't see that the relationship between the two of you is really not ordinary!" In front of the city gate, Du Ze persuaded with a smile.

"Bah, who has a good relationship with him? Can you talk? I can't wait for him to disappear immediately!" Qiao Ruixue glared at Du Ze and said unhappily.

"Xiaoxue, don't be rude!" Qiao Heng reprimanded.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, since it's already here, then I'll leave first, the Qiao family's money has already reached my account, right? I'll go back and organize my subordinates and take over Hei Yanfeng as soon as possible!" Du Ze clasped his fists towards everyone and said loudly.

"Well, don't worry, the money has already arrived in your account, thank you for your help this time!" Qiao Heng also hurriedly returned the salute and said some polite words.

"Brother Du, I'll leave it to you!" Zhang Chao squeezed his eyes at Du Ze.

"Everything is with me!" Du Ze patted his chest, took the two remaining mercenaries, led the way into the city, and walked towards the place where the mercenaries gathered.

"Let's go, we will also be the Qiao family, although the eldest lady has been rescued, but the battle between the Qiao family and the Wang family is still going on, and we must not take it lightly!"

"Yun'er is back, the Wang family shouldn't dare to act rashly!" Qiao Heng rubbed his chin and said, "In short, hurry up and go back to say peace to the head of the family!"

Zhang Chao naturally wants to go back, after all, last night on the Black Flame Peak, it was a headless deal, and he hasn't got the commission yet.

After entering the city, I just walked to the corner of a street, and more than ten feet away, I could vaguely see the back door of the Qiao family's mansion.

"It's back, I'll go to Tongyu first!" Among the remaining few people in the Qiao family, two young people stepped forward quickly.

And Zhang Chao, Qiao Heng, Qiao Ruixue and the old man of the Qiao family followed behind.

After all, Qiao Ruixue has an injury on her leg, and she is not suitable for walking too fast.

"Grandma's, this time it's so dangerous, and thanks to me, I can save this dead girl, I have to knock Qiao's family well!" Zhang Chao pondered in his heart as he walked.

Truth be told, he's just made a windfall.

Before going to the room where Qiao Ruixue was being held, he took the lead in going to the small vault of Black Cliff Village.

Although there are not many of them, there are also gold and silver treasures that have been stolen by the bandits over the years, and he has made tens of thousands of crystal coins alone, and there are a bunch of other treasures, and he has not had time to count them in detail.

In short, he emptied it all and threw it into his bag.

But respecting the principle that mosquito thighs are also meat, he is still looking forward to getting more wealth from the Qiao family.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.

I felt someone tugging at his pant leg from behind, but not with much force.

"Huh?" he turned around in confusion, only to see a little girl of eight or nine years old, standing behind him, tilting her head to look at him.

The little girl was fair-skinned, looked like a porcelain doll, and wore brocade clothes, which should not be the children of ordinary people's families.

She combed her bun hair, her eyes were round, occupying one-third of her face, watery, and she looked dull and cute.

"Uh, little sister, are you in trouble?" asked Zhang Chao puzzled.

The little girl didn't respond, and continued to look at Zhang Chao blankly.

"Can't find a home or what?" Zhang Chao scratched his head in embarrassment, he was really not good at dealing with children, although he himself was not very old.

The little girl shook her head slightly, still staring at him blankly......

"I'll go ......" Zhang Chao was speechless, how to communicate with this little girl?

"Brother Zhang Chao, what are you muttering to yourself, why don't you leave?" At this time, Qiao Heng, who had walked a few feet away, suddenly turned around and asked.

"No, I met a little girl here!" Zhang Chao hurriedly pointed to the cute guy behind him.

"Little girl, how can there be?" Qiao Heng and the others were puzzled.

"Isn't that it, you can't see her?" Zhang Chao said, looking at the little girl again, only to find that the other party was gone.

"Shhhh

It's gone?

When did it disappear?

So fast?

He hurriedly looked around, but there was no trace of the little girl.

"Are you too tired to cause your vision? Hurry back and rest first! I'll have someone prepare some ginseng soup and elixir for you!" the old man of the Qiao family twisted his beard and said.

"How is it possible? I obviously saw her, I saw it really!" Zhang Chao pulled the corners of his mouth, could it be that it was broad daylight...... What unclean things did you encounter?

"Maybe I'm so tired!" he rubbed his eyebrows and continued to follow Qiao Heng and the others forward.

But just as they were about to walk to the back door of Qiao's house, Zhang Chao unconsciously glanced back, and suddenly felt creepy.

The little girl just now, still where the two had met before, tilted her head to look at herself.

"Hiss......" He hurriedly grabbed Qiao Heng's arm, stared at the little girl intently and shouted, "Quick, look, right there, she appeared again!"

"What is it?" Qiao Heng looked over when he heard this, and then frowned: "Nothing, Brother Zhang Chao, are you okay?"

"Nothing? What did you say nothing? How could it be, she was there, wasn't she just like that?" Zhang Chao was about to go crazy.

"There really isn't!" Not only Qiao Heng, but also Qiao Ruixue and the old man of the Qiao family stared at it for a long time, and then shook their heads blankly.

"You ...... You can't see it?" Zhang Chao swallowed, cold sweat running down his forehead.

"I have already told the head of the family, and the head of the family has arranged to prepare a celebration banquet for a few people in the main hall of the Qiao family!" At this moment, one of the Qiao family masters who was the first to go out came out and said.

"Oh, okay, let's go in quickly!" Qiao Heng nodded, no longer accompanied Zhang Chao crazy, and stepped into the Qiao family's mansion.

"Hey, if you're crazy enough, come in quickly, pretending to be a ghost, are you sick?" Qiao Ruixue rolled her eyes, and followed closely with the old man of the Qiao family.

"Alas, don't go, wait for me ......" Zhang Chao turned his head and saw that he was left alone outside the gate of Qiao's house, and suddenly his cold hair stood up.

He couldn't care about the strange little girl anymore, and hurriedly followed him into Qiao's house.

The little girl stood still and didn't move.

Her gaze didn't blink until Zhang Chao entered Qiao's house.

"Hehe, big brother, Silly has finally found you, Silly won't let you run anymore......" The corners of her mouth suddenly lifted, revealing a weird smile, and then her body flickered, and she disappeared in place silently......

......

After Zhang Chao entered Qiao's house, he was so frightened by the little girl that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He came to the main hall of Qiao's house, and after seeing the dazzling food and wine on the table, he smelled the aroma of the wine and food, and his mind calmed down a little.

Several old men of the Qiao family were all sitting around the big table at this time, and it was naturally Qiao Dong, the head of the Qiao family, and beside Qiao Dong, it was Qiao Ruiyun who looked down on people.

"A few people have worked hard!" Qiao Dong saw Zhang Chao and a few people coming in, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists.

"Where, where is it, saving Xiaoxue is a matter of duty, and this time I was able to successfully return, thanks to Brother Zhang Chao!" Qiao Heng hurriedly returned the salute.

"Ah......" Zhang Chao was just about to open his mouth and say something high-sounding, but he heard Qiao Ruiyun snort coldly.

"Hmph, there are only so many dead left, and the face is back?" Qiao Ruiyun's yin and yang strange words made the atmosphere suddenly become awkward......
