Chapter 167: Riverside Camp There is another picture

Beijia Xiangyun returned to his carriage with a blank face under the gaze of the crowd. As soon as he entered the carriage, Zhang Xiaoshan deliberately asked: "Daoist friends came back so soon, could it be that the enemy has been repulsed?"

"Hmm!" Beijia Xiangyun didn't know how to reply, so he had to answer and sat back in his place.

No wonder he reacted in this way, and until now he had no idea what had just happened. In the dust mist, he couldn't see anything, he could only stand there passively, and he didn't know what happened during this time.

He didn't know it himself, but Zhang Xiaoshan and the others all knew, in fact, everything just now was just Tu Qianqian's illusion, the Spirit Fox Incarnation Technique was the best illusion method of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and the image that changed was something that those people outside could distinguish between true and false.

An inexplicable storm passed, and the convoy continued on its way, while the so-called secret guards left on their own, not with the team.

"Childe, what is a secret guard?" Tu Qianqian was hidden around just now, naturally she heard the conversation of those people, she didn't understand what a secret guard was. Obviously, Juxian Lou already has enough guards, why do you need to arrange another team of people, and looking at the costume, those secret guards are fierce and vicious, but they are not good looks.

"I don't know what a dark guard is, but as far as I can see, there must be something else going on this road, and it will definitely not be as calm as it seems. Zhang Xiaoshan gave his own judgment.

"It's so interesting, Childe, this guard mission is so fun!" Tu Qianqian said excitedly. There were three monks in their group, and it was already good not to go to the trouble of others, so what could there be to worry about.....

The convoy marched all the way, and it was not until the end of the day that the camp was set up in a flat shallow, except for those loose cultivators, everyone in the convoy was busy, the miscellaneous servants of Juxian Lou were busy setting up tents and sorting out the goods; the men who accompanied them quickly set up a dozen cauldrons and prepared for food at night in the clear water of the river; those ordinary guards all ran to the river to fetch water, feed the horses, and wash protective gear; and even Zhang Xiaoshan, these casual cultivators, got out of the carriage and sat alone or in groups of three or five on the riverbank.

The miscellaneous servants of Juxian Lou moved extremely quickly, even if it was already dark around, it only took them half an hour to completely set up all the camp tents, the goods were also neatly classified and placed, more than a dozen huge oil lamps lit up the entire camp, and the faint smell of rice also flowed in the camp tent along the breeze.

The camp is divided into three parts, the main camp in the center is inhabited by the people of Juxian Tower, and the goods are also placed here, the east and west sides are all guards, the north side is the slowly flowing river, and the south side is the fence enclosed by carriages and wheels, which is enough to ensure the safety of the personnel and goods in the central camp.

On the east side of the camp was the camp of the secular guards, and seven tents guarded a huge bonfire, and on the blazing fire were two pigs painted with spices, and the aromatic smell of barbecue became stronger, and some of the seated samurai had already begun to pull out their wine bags and gulp down. All the horses are also parked here and are carefully cared for.

The thirteen tents on the west side of the camp belonged to the cultivators, Zhang Xiaoshan and the thirteen of them were scattered cultivators, and everyone could live alone. The arrangement of the Juxian Building is indeed very proper, knowing that these casual cultivators do not like to come into contact with other people, so it is still far away from the other camps, and there are four guards guarding the connection to avoid disturbing the noble immortals.

After a while, the laughter of the guards began to sound in the camp on the east side, these people walked outside all the year round, all of them were very bold, this place was still within the scope of Wangxi Prefecture, and there was no need for too many people to be on duty at night, they sat around the campfire, and a few sips of hot wine from the north flowed into their stomachs, and they soon became lively.

After finishing their work, the handymen of Juxian Mansion also gathered to the side of those guards, after all, there is nothing to do at night, who doesn't want to find some excitement to pass the time.

Compared to the bustle of the other two camps, the camp on the west side is a bit lifeless. Among the thirteen scattered cultivators, only Zhang Xiaoshan and his party of five are above the foundation building period, and they have entered the Bigu period, and they do not need practical diet. The other eight hastily ate some wheat rice, and all returned to their tents and never came out again. The four guards stationed outside looked at the lively scene in the camp on the east side, and could only sigh that their luck was not good, how could they share such a drudgery, not only could they not eat hot barbecue meat, they could not drink refreshing spirits, but also had to endure this boring night...

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and sent Liu Zhangshi of Juxian Tower out of his tent, and as soon as he placed it on the door curtain of the tent, four figures immediately flashed in his tent, it was Yinghuang, Tu Qianqian, and the Yuan brothers and others. They were all here just now, but they all used the Five Elements Escape Technique to hide.

"Childe, how could you agree to this old man just now?" Tu Qianqian wondered.

"Why don't you promise him, we're just some casual cultivators, where will there be spirit stones in casual cultivation!" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

Just now, Liu Zhangshi came to visit and said something to Zhang Xiaoshan, which happened to explain the inexplicable incident during the day.

As for why Liu Zhangshi would talk to Zhang Xiaoshan, the reason is that he has served in Juxian Building for decades, and his natural vision is also extremely high, he has long thought that Zhang Xiaoshan is the leader of the group, and the one called Beijia Xiangyun is just a disguise, and the things during the day are even more certain of his speculation, the young man named Beijia is completely useless, if it weren't for his relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan and others, Liu Zhangshi would want to throw it directly on the side of the road, and he could save 10,000 taels of compensation.

Liu Zhangshi has been vague enough, and many things have not been explained, but he has made a lot of profits, and begged Zhang Xiaoshan and other five monks in the foundation building period to help him make a move, and the price is that after the matter is completed, each person can get ten spirit stones.

This kind of price is something that an ordinary casual cultivator can't refuse, so Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to agree first. After all, he still needs to use the Immortal Gathering Building to leave Youzhou. If you rashly refuse at this time, I am afraid that this Liu Zhangshi will worry about extraneous branches, and directly leave himself and others. Sissy

As for the purpose of the shot, Liu Zhangshi did not explain vaguely, but the truth behind it is not difficult to guess. Zhang Xiaoshan guessed that Juxian Lou was plotting like this, and the target was probably Tingchaoju.

Hearing the news of Chaoju's trafficking in the Cloud Swallowing Beast has long been a semi-open secret, not to mention the Juxian Tower, several other forces have also sent their own people, the target is the three young beasts of the Tunyun Beast, if you can capture the best, if you fail to capture, even if you kill it, you can't make this business successful.

Behind this is not just a contest between chambers of commerce, there must be someone secretly offering a high bounty, and it is important to prevent these three Cloud Devouring Beasts from reaching the hands of the Hanging Pot Hall. In fact, it is not difficult for the troublemakers behind it to guess, and the biggest possibility is Sima Royal. In the past few hundred years, the power of the Hanging Pot Hall has become bigger and bigger, and it has almost become another terrible local separatist force under the four major sect lords, and the Sima royal family will never let it develop unlimitedly; Yizhou and Jingzhou are close to each other, and both sides want to expand their power into each other's territory, and in the past 100 years, the Song family and the Hanging Hutang have had conflicts from time to time, and various disputes have continued.

However, the Wang family belongs to the Wang family behind this Tingchaoju, and it is also the business of the four major sect lords themselves, so it should not be the Song family who is making trouble, then it must be the Sima family behind it, but I don't know which side they are looking for.

These are all analyzed by Zhang Xiaoshan himself, he has accompanied Zhang Daocheng to deal with the core confidential matters of the family all the year round, and he has some understanding of these things, so his inference is not much different from the actual situation.

Juxianlou took a fancy to the identity of Zhang Xiaoshan and others during the foundation building period, so he came to invite him with the purpose of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaoshan to be very talkative, so he readily agreed. In addition, there are also eight monks in the foundation building period among the secret guards they hired, and there are three Dharma protectors in the Jindan period, with so many masters, it seems that this mission can be said to be nine out of ten.

In fact, this kind of thing of making a trick behind the scenes is a very common means, the eight major chambers of commerce have competed for interests with each other for many years, this kind of mutual demolition is not uncommon, only the four chambers of commerce secretly supported by the four major sect lords can take a little care of each other's friendship, and this kind of mutual demolition rarely happens.

What puzzled Zhang Xiaoshan was that the three Cloud Devouring Beasts were only 10,000 spirit stones, was it worth it? He completely forgot that in the whole world, most of the monks didn't even have ten spirit stones, and this 10,000 spirit stones was already a huge amount of money. And I'm afraid that the reward from the Sima family is much higher than this ten thousand spirit stones, and this huge amount of money is enough to be worth three percent of the annual income of the eight major chambers of commerce.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at several of his subordinates, suddenly shrugged his nose, and smiled happily: "The fragrance outside is very strong, which makes me appetite great, I want to go out for a full meal, are you with me?"

Tu Qianqian jumped up, raised her hand and said, "Childe, I'm going!"

"Where the master is, our brother is!" Yuan Wei and Yuan Wu brothers also stood up.

Hotaru Huang looked left and right, and responded: "Even so, I will accompany the master!"

So a few people surrounded Zhang Xiaoshan, left the camp on the west side, passed through the big tent in the center, and directly entered the camp on the east side, at this time the atmosphere there had reached its peak, there were two powerful men who were naked and wrestling, and the prize of the competition was a bag of Northland spirits that had been cellared for five years.

Everyone was clapping and applauding, not noticing the arrival of Zhang Xiaoshan and his party.

Zhang Xiaoshan found a good position by the bonfire, sat by the bonfire, picked up a dagger from the ground, cut off one of his hind legs, and happily divided the meat with Firefly Huang and others.

The game over there was quickly decided, and everyone laughed and returned to the campfire, only to find five more well-dressed people around the campfire.

I don't know who shouted, "Ah! These are immortals!"

The atmosphere that was boiling just now suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the five cultivators around the bonfire at a loss. Everyone knows that cultivators are the most moody, these people came here, could it be that they themselves made too much noise and disturbed the rest of the immortals?

Looking at the cramped appearance of the people around him, Zhang Xiaoshan sighed and said loudly: "Everyone, Jiang and his companions smelled such a fragrance, they really couldn't bear the temptation of food, and they came to bother you, don't blame it, these two should be used as the cost of wine and meat!" He threw it casually and threw five hundred loose money into the crowd.

He has been walking in the world a lot recently, and he has also prepared some money taels for backup, and he also has a preliminary concept of money and taels, knowing that if he makes too generous and exaggerated shots, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and this five hundred loose money is just right.

Sure enough, looking at the scattered money scattered all over the sky, all the warriors let down their guards, laughed and bowed, and then naturally sat down next to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Two sips of spirits under the stomach, everyone is familiar with each other, this feeling Zhang Xiaoshan once felt when he was in the Yang family in Wuwei Mansion, everyone regardless of the high and low, regardless of the background, all can put down everything and drink freely, laugh loudly, maybe this is a free and easy life, but he is destined to live such a life for a long time, he has too many secrets. But as the saying goes, there is wine today and drunk today, so let's enjoy a free night today!
