Chapter 793: The Gathering of Sages (1)
In a small room on a secluded hill in the western swamp, a middle-aged man was meditating cross-legged, his appearance looked quite fairy-like, but there was an abnormal red on his face from time to time, obviously his physical condition was not as good as it seemed from the outside.
There was a young man with a worried face next to him, who didn't know what to say, but kept sighing.
It turned out that this was Zhao Mubai and Zhao Muliang's father and son, Xiao Di had dealt with them at that time, Zhao Mubai helped Xiao Di a lot, and also taught Xiao Di the magic three shake body martial arts, but although Zhao Mubai himself is strong, he also has a mental illness, and he will have seizures from time to time, and he will not recognize his six relatives when he has an attack, so he deliberately stayed away from his family.
After a long time, his symptoms did not improve but became worse and worse, Zhao Muliang was very worried, so he desperately put aside the affairs of the government army and ran to accompany him, for fear that he would have an accident and there was no one to take care of him.
Zhao Mubai suddenly smiled and said: "Ah Liang, go back, my own body knows by myself, this disease is triggered more and more times, I'm afraid I won't last long, you go back and help me take care of your mother is the greatest reward for me, don't spend it here with me, you know it's useless." ”
Zhao Muliang said in a deep voice: "Dad, this is not a question of whether it is useful or not, even if it is useless, I have to stay by your side, my mother already knows about you, and her old man asked me to stay by your side no matter what, otherwise I will not recognize my son." ”
Zhao Mubai felt that his eyes were red and his nose was sour, he hurriedly turned his head, not wanting his son to see him crying, and said toughly: "Forget it, if you want to stay here, then stay, but if I have something abnormal, you will stay away from me immediately, do you hear?"
As soon as that illness comes up, I can't control myself at all, and my strength will rise sharply, and your seventh-order strength is not enough to see at all, so you must not lean over, no matter what happens, understand? Otherwise, you will leave me now. ”
In the end, Zhao Mubai was already very loud, and Zhao Muliang also knew that his father was not joking, he already had the strength of the eighth order, and if he went crazy again, I am afraid that he would have the peak combat power of the eighth order, and he really couldn't stop even a move.
However, he still sighed: "Last time Xiao Di said that he would find a way to solve your problem, it seems that he can't be relied on, I still have great hopes for him, it's really better to ask for others than for myself, it's all because I'm still too weak, alas." ”
Zhao Mubai was very open to this, and said with a smile: "This is just the will of heaven, how can manpower do it? The materials needed to cure my disease are too precious, Xiao Di is still a young man after all, how can he do it in such a short time?"
At this time, Zhao Mubai's eyebrows suddenly raised, and Zhao Muliang immediately knew that an outsider was approaching, and the long sword in his hand was already in his hand, and at this time, someone outside suddenly whispered: "May I ask if it is Zhao Mubai's predecessor and Captain Zhao Muliang?"
Zhao Muliang was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the person who came didn't seem to have malicious intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask, he immediately opened the door and replied: "It's us, who are you?"
I saw a tall and capable young man walk in, his cultivation was the sixth order, but he seemed to be quite talented in concealment, and he was also quite trained, so even Zhao Muliang didn't notice his approach.
After the young man came in, he saluted the two of them before saying, "Hello Senior Zhao, Hello Captain Zhao, I am a scout of the Shura Gang, and our Xiao Gang Leader sent me to invite the two of you to our headquarters for a gathering. ”
Zhao Mubai's father and son were shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Muliang hurriedly said: "May I ask who your helper is?
The young man smiled: "Our helper is Shura King Xiao Di, he said that he was an old friend of the two, and he also promised to cure the illness of Senior Zhao at that time, and now the matter has been resolved, so I invited the two of them to come over." ”
The two suddenly realized, and Zhao Muliang said excitedly: "Dad, this is really good, your illness has been saved, and you are finally saved." ”
Zhao Mubai was also very happy in his heart, although he was cheerful, but who would want to die if he could not die, he asked casually: "Young man, thank you for informing us, by the way, what is your name, and the old man feels that this place is still very hidden, how did you find it?"
The young man smiled: "My name is Thomas, and the whereabouts of the two of them are indeed very secretive, but our gang leader has already notified all the surrounding forces to help find the two, and the news of the two is personally notified to us by the head of the Wess of the Swamp of Sorrow." ”
Zhao Mubai was taken aback: "Wei Sitouren, it is indeed impossible for us to hide from him here, but even he is willing to help you Xiao Di Gang Master?" I remember that he is a ninth-order martial artist, and his temper is very arrogant and hot, he doesn't pay attention to ordinary people at all, and it is difficult to even see him, let alone ask him for help." ”
Thomas smiled proudly: "The Weiss Heads have signed a non-aggression pact with our Shura Gang on behalf of the entire Sorrow Swamp, so it is appropriate to help each other, to say that they are not bad, the strength of the dwarf king Harden of Danmoro is not below the Weiss Heads, isn't he willing to be a vassal force of our Shura Gang?"
Zhao Mubai's father and son immediately looked at each other, they were very clear about the majesty of the ninth-order martial artists, and both Harden and Weiss were among the long-established figures, how could they be so polite to Xiao Di, or even flattering?
Seeing their expressions, Thomas guessed their doubts, and immediately explained proudly: "Senior Zhao must not know it, just a few days ago, our Shura Gang sent the government army to conquer us and returned defeated, and the general led by them, Jackie, was also killed by our gang leader, and now our Shura Gang is safe, and the gang leader has also declared the independence of the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom, so he arranged for me to come to my seniors." ”
Zhao Mubai's father and son were already numb by this explosive news, and after a long time, Zhao Muliang let out a long breath and said: "General Jackie has been promoted to the ninth order for more than ten years, and even he was killed by your Xiao gang leader, so your gang leader is already a ninth-order powerhouse? How old is he, it's really incredible." ”
Thomas nodded proudly and said, "Captain Zhao is right, of course our gang leader is a ninth-order powerhouse, it's not too early, please let the two of you go with me quickly." ”
Zhao Mubai gestured to Zhao Muliang's eyes, Zhao Muliang immediately began to pack his luggage, and the two left with Thomas a few minutes later, leaving only an empty hut with some traces of the father and son's residence during this time.
Now the road between the Swamp of Sorrow and the Kingdom of Red Ridge Mountain is unblocked, even if there is any trouble, after Thomas shows out the emblem of his mid-level members of the Shura Gang, everyone is politely let go, not to mention any protection fees and tolls, many of them even bring out snacks, tea and wine to entertain.
Just kidding, since Xiao Di killed General Jackie strongly, the strong Weiss is also sighing to himself and extremely admired, so he has long been on the phone, and the people of the entire sad swamp are absolutely not allowed to provoke the people of the Shura Gang, otherwise they will be dealt with directly, so there is the current situation.
Thomas was originally a guest warrior of the Noxus family, and because he was very talented in hiding and investigating, he was favored by several high-ranking members of the Shura Gang and selected to the Darkmoon Camp, becoming a scout in charge of reconnaissance and communication, and he was also very proud and excited at this time.
You must know that the warriors of the sad swamp didn't take their warriors of Chiji Mountain seriously at all, but there are several ninth-order powerhouses here, but Chiji Mountain doesn't even look like an eighth-order, if it weren't for the fact that several forces agreed that no one would be allowed to capture Chiji Mountain in order to maintain balance, Chiji Mountain would have already become a subsidiary force of others, just like this, how could people take you seriously?
Seeing the attitude of the warriors who have always ignored their Sorrowful Swamp towards him now, Thomas knows very well in his heart that this has nothing to do with his own half a dime, and his sixth-order strength is a big grasp in the Sorrowful Swamp, in the final analysis, it is still thanks to his boss Xiao Di's blessing, which makes him full of pride in being a member of the Shura Gang, and this feeling is by no means simply money or status can bring.
In this way, the three of them came to the headquarters of the Shura Gang in Chiji Mountain smoothly, and after this period of construction, the current headquarters of the Shura Gang has already become a mansion more than thirty meters high, covering an area of 1,000 acres, and having two wide and deep moats, even compared to the main city of Danmoro or the Sad Swamp Kingdom next to it.
In fact, according to Xiao Di's original meaning, he is unwilling to spend funds in this kind of place, in his opinion, he must defend against the enemy, and must not let the enemy enter the territory of Chiji Mountain, let alone rely on the castle to defend, if one day they are beaten here, it is already their own defeat.
But this theory was immediately opposed by Henry and Tyrande, Henry is from the perspective of people's hearts, there is such a majestic castle will make the members of the entire Shura Gang proud, and Tyrande is from a diplomatic point of view, after all, the status of the Shura Gang is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more forces and families dealing with them, and it is still very important to have a luxurious big castle, although the strength is important, the necessary pretending to be B cannot be without, after all, many people are still very much at the surface.
Xiao Di understands that these two are experts in these aspects, so he can only honestly shut up and let them spend a lot of money to build the castle like this, but after the castle is built, he feels very satisfied, at least his parents and relatives and friends finally have a good settlement.
