Chapter 17: The Return Journey
Walking out of the Martial God Temple to face the fiery morning sun, Bai Jiuzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, this adventure seemed to be in a dream, he really didn't expect it, but when his eyes swept over the storage ring on his hand, he knew that all this was not a dream, but a very real thing!
Because the jade ring was beautiful and gorgeous, it was easy to arouse the covetousness of the strong, so it was tied by Bai Jiuzhen with silver threads and hidden close to the underwear.
The one I just got is inconspicuous, and it is more suitable to wear on the hand.
"Since it is given by the master, let you finish the vows!"
Laughing and muttering to himself, Bai Jiuzhen walked slowly back towards the Gongsun Inn, passing by a few small restaurants on the way, and he bought all kinds of daily necessities by the way.
"Oops, you're back..."
"Shopkeeper, are you ready for the people I need?"
"Haha, everything is ready, it's just a matter of checking the distinguished guest! San'er, go, bring the person, Lao Yang, lead the horse to the door for the distinguished guest!"
"Okay!"
After a while, following behind San'er, the eyes of the five women all curiously greeted Bai Jiuzhen, among whom the woman in front was over forty years old, but her charm was still there, and her eyebrows were quite heroic. The other four women are all in their twenties, they are quite standard-looking, their eyes are clear and their manners are regular, and their appearance seems to be quite loyal and honest! The five women all have a certain level of cultivation, the former is a mid-level samurai, and the last four women are all early-stage samurai of the third level!
"Five ladies, this is the great guest I mentioned to you earlier!"
"Childe Wan'an, Gui Niang is polite!"
"Slaves and maids have seen their masters!"
The five daughters successively saluted Bai Jiuzhen.
"Distinguished guest, this Gui Niang is the most famous stable woman in this Guiren Town. It has been 18 years since she became famous with her craft, and there have never been any rumors of a miss!"
"Well, the shopkeeper bothered, and I'm satisfied... Gui Niang, this time I ask you to have a period of one year, I wonder how much I think it is more appropriate for me to pay you?"
Bai Jiu really didn't want to waste any more time here, so he went straight to the mountain gate as soon as he opened his mouth.
"How can a year be so long?"
Gui Niang's eyebrows locked slightly when she heard this.
"It's been a long time, so the price is up to you, no matter how much, I will never bargain!"
Bai Jiuzhen smiled slightly, and said with a very magnificent bearing.
"Oh?!"
Gui Niang looked at Bai Jiuzhen several times again, and then said with some reserve: "The amount of money is not the main problem, but a year is so long, and I still have ...... at home."
"One price, 10,000 gold coins! If you refuse to take me, you have to invite someone else!"
Before Gui Niang finished spitting her bitterness, Bai Jiuzhen interrupted with a word, shocking her to the point that she couldn't find the north and south.
At this time, in the lobby of the inn, there were still more than a dozen martial artists chatting with breakfast, and when they heard this, they all looked sideways, and when they came back to their senses, they all showed a greedy look that was difficult to hide!
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Gui Niang, who was relieved, didn't dare to mention it again, and responded immediately with surprise on her face, and then turned around and gave a salute to the shopkeeper: "Thank you this time, and I should have a generous gift when the matter is over." Also, please let me know about it!"
"Gui Niang is polite... Definitely!"
"Then it's time for us to go!"
Things went well, Bai Jiu really didn't want to delay any longer, and with a wave of his hand, he took the lead in turning to the door, and walked straight towards the first horse outside the door.
"Order!"
The five women rushed out one after another, each jumping on a horse and following behind Bai Jiuzhen, galloping towards the city gate!
"Miss, that guy should be a fledgling not long ago, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, you see that is already the eleventh batch of gangsters chasing after him......"
"Less nonsense, let's keep up!"
"But there are so many enemies, miss, are you sure you want a beautiful woman to save the hero?"
"Choking ......"
Click, the sound of horses' hooves linked, and a few wisps of light wind were disturbed.
Out of the city gate, Bai Jiuzhen took the five girls to face the pulse of the Forbidden Mountain.
The five women were a little surprised by the direction he led, but they didn't have time to ask more questions at the moment, the people followed the horses, and after dozens of breaths, the six figures all disappeared into the dense forest!
After a while, groups of more than a dozen people and horses followed the traces and appeared between the city and the forest, and after dozens of breaths, all of them disappeared into the forest.
The gallop of the six horses has been driven to the maximum by their respective masters, and they are also some cultivated warriors, and the six of them are as sharp as loaches, shuttling around in the dense forest, but they have not encountered any oncoming ancient trees.
After a while, it was more than forty miles away from Guiren Town.
"It's right here!"
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Jiuzhen slightly raised his dantian gang's qi, and in an instant, a layer of blue gang lightly covered his body, and he waved his hand behind him elegantly, and suddenly the six people slowly descended.
"Everyone retreats behind me!"
Before the words fell, Bai Jiu Zhenxin reached into the jade ring, stretched out his right hand, took out a big knife from it, lightly lifted the reins of the horse and turned around a few steps, crossed the horizontal knife in front of the five women, raised his eyes to meet the rising sun, and squinted at the red light.
Click, click......
Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the forest, and the eyes of the six people were met through the trees.
Most of the people who came were warriors of the fifth or sixth level, and the two strongest were only the cultivation of the early stage of the seventh level of Zigang.
"It's bad, just thinking about the money earned on this trip, but forgetting the risks!"
Gui Niang's expression changed greatly, and when she saw more and more gangsters appearing, her heart couldn't help but sink rapidly.
"Are we going to die here before we get out of the tiger's mouth? Alas, our lives are so bitter?"
The four maids thought in unison.
Obviously, the fifth girl didn't have much confidence in Bai Jiuzhen, who was a sixth-level warrior, and at the same time in the face of so many powerful gangsters.
"Buzz!"
Bai Jiuzhen twisted the middle finger of his left hand and flicked the blade of the knife, and a sharp loud sound spread, causing a layer of goosebumps to arouse a layer of goosebumps all over the gangsters who came, and the atmosphere on the field was condensed in an instant.
"Everyone, let's wait for a while! If you want to die, you don't have to rush to catch up!"
The cold tone, the attitude of ignorance, and the arrogance of absolute confidence shocked everyone who arrived one step ahead for a while. The people who came behind did not know why, and when they saw that the first one did not move, they did not dare to act rashly, and even the last two arrived.
The robbery of the warriors, when everyone has the same goal, because they come from different forces, it is difficult to contain and work together! In fact, it is not that they are really afraid of Bai Jiuzhen!
"Huh?"
Looking at the last two, the corners of Bai Jiuzhen's mouth flashed with a sneering sneer.
Somehow, in the face of Bai Jiuzhen's attitude, the two of them felt a greasy taste in their hearts, only to hear one of them scold loudly: "Hey, who is that, what kind of attitude do you have?
"Help me, don't do it!"
Bai Jiu was really stunned, and he didn't have a good airway.
"You, don't get me wrong, we don't mean to take advantage of the fire... Uh, why am I going to explain to you bastard? Who do you think you are!"
This is exactly the nonsense that the 'eldest lady' is very angry!
