Chapter Fifty-Six: It's a big gamble

Chapter 56 Can You Drink It?

According to common sense, the county seat is still within the official sphere of influence, and no Assassin will choose to commit murder here, but cultivators can be excluded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cultivators are unfathomable, the sword qi and the figures are all fast and unpredictable, and they are far away after they succeed, how can a few officers and soldiers stop them?

Jiang Zhonghu has always been conceited with archery, thinking that he is not under the sharpshooter general Tian Qianfeng, and at this moment, he has already drawn his bow and arrows, and the arrow is aimed at the knight in the lead.

At this moment, the knight found that the other party was in full array, and all the guards were wound with bows and arrows, and when they were ordered, they would send out a flood of feathered arrows.

He grabbed his horse's head, raised his hand in the Chinese book and shouted: "Don't release the arrow, I have a military department document and come to protect Her Royal Highness." ”

Jiang Zhonghu's expression eased slightly, but he didn't put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You come here alone, and I will read the paperwork." ”

The man slammed the horse's pedals, sat down on the black horse and walked slowly, handing the paperwork to Jiang Zhonghu on the horse's back.

Captain Jiang took the document and looked at it carefully for a moment, groaned slightly, urged the horse to walk to the princess's car, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the Ministry of War has sent four Yunzong sword cultivators, please ask Your Highness for permission!"

Zhuo Zangfeng listened carefully, only to hear the princess in the car sigh softly, and then said: "Why do you have to work so hard and waste money? ”

The voice is clear and beautiful, and there is no smoke and dust at all, as if the phoenix of the nine heavens is singing, and the fairy music is combined.

It turns out that the princess's voice is so good! The majestic nun is actually called Hui Yue, and seeing that she has been cold-faced, she should be called Leng Yue.

Zhuo Zangfeng thought wildly, Hui Yue had already read the paperwork, and at this time, her eyes were calm, and she didn't look at the knight again.

She was silent for a long time, and then asked coldly, "Who are you from the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

The man seemed to be very afraid of Huiyue, and replied carefully: "In Xia Duanchen, the other three Liu Xiangyun, Liu Conglong, and Hu Xiaozheng are all disciples of the sect, and their cultivation is also in the realm of the six grades of martial arts. ”

Hui Yue suddenly changed color, "In the realm of the pre-requisite of the poor nun, you are bold enough!" Seeing that Duan Chen was silent, she said again: "Liuyun Sect's ability is not small, I don't know how much benefit I have taken from the military department this time?"

Jiang Zhonghu saw that Hui Yue, who had always been taciturn, reprimanded the Liuyun Sect without mercy, he didn't know that Huiyue had had a little holiday with the sect master of the Liuyun Sect earlier, although he was a monk at this time, his temperament had not changed, and he remembered the old hatred and started his temper for no reason.

Zhuo Zangfeng thought to himself, this nun is very arrogant, and Duan Chen and the others didn't dare to reply, it seems that this nun has a lot of background.

Duan Chen is the son of the elder of the Liuyun Sect, and he is usually very arrogant, but he has heard his father talk about Huiyue, and knows that this nun once married a fourth-grade civil official, because of her temperament, she often roars as a lion in Hedong, and the civil official can't bear to divorce her. Huiyue, who was as fierce as fire, couldn't bear the humiliation of being divorced, and killed her husband with a sword, and was later imprisoned by Empress Zetian ****, and became a monk in Cining Temple.

This nun is extremely talented, and her cultivation speed is a thousand miles away, and in just ten years, she surpassed the presiding officer of Cining Temple, and later went far away to cultivate the Buddha Sword Great Light Divine Realm, but for some reason she became the princess's groom.

Duan Chen knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he endured his breath, and without waiting for the nun to finish speaking, he took the opportunity to flee on the grounds of military affairs.

On the way to Liuyun Sect joined, Zhuo Zangfeng didn't know if this move was a snake to add to his feet, seeing that Duan Chen was sleek and sophisticated, he quickly mingled with the guards, and he had already been commensurate with brothers, and he secretly laughed in his heart.

Jiang Zhonghu was neither excited nor reluctant to join them. Although cultivators are relatively free and casual and do not listen to military orders, they are excellent helpers when they encounter strong enemies.

As for the young man who was carrying him next to the princess's frame, he was even more dispensable, if he hadn't been ordered by the military department, he wouldn't have carried such a burden.

The sketch that was brought out of the palace was in the hands of Hui Yue, and with each journey, she would take it out and look at it carefully before pointing out the direction.

Zhuo Zangfeng didn't know that the figure left by Duan Qianhua, who he missed day and night, was close to him, otherwise, according to his personality, he would definitely find a way to get it and take a look.

In the interval between camps, while the guards were on guard, Zhuo Zangfeng sat down cross-legged and breathed seriously.

At this time, he still couldn't absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, let alone escape his divine consciousness from the distant starry sky and absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars.

His sense of consciousness was too weak, but his senses were becoming more and more sensitive day by day. It stands to reason that this is not possible.

The sharper a practitioner's senses, the stronger his divine consciousness should be, so why does he do the opposite?

Later, he could no longer meditate and practice, and every time he channeled qi, he felt that his body was like a boiling flame burning, and the sea of dantian qi was even more of a sea of fire, and his lips were dry, and he really wanted to jump into the ice river regardless of anything, or hoped that the pouring rain would pour his whole body through.

This inexplicable pain burned him inside.

He suddenly remembered that the master had once warned him that the sword yuan in the world is the qi of the yang in the world, and the yang energy is stronger at sunrise, and people with a low cultivation realm cannot practice in the sun no matter what, unless they can regulate the yin and yang in the body and control the sword yuan in the sea of dantian qi.

Could it be that the day and Tuiji were running in the shade of the tree, causing my yang energy to be stronger, but it was a little spot of light in the shade of the tree that had such great power?

He gulped down the water from his skin to drive away the heat in his heart.

Hui Yue occasionally looked at him with a look of surprise on her face, but soon she drove away this impossible thought in her heart, thinking that this young man might be sick?

On the evening of this day, resting on a hill, the guards settled their horses, and surrounded the carriages of Her Royal Highness the Princess, half resting and half guarding.

Zhuo Zangfeng silently read the full text of "Zhuangzi", thinking about the somewhat esoteric and obscure commentary, enduring the heat in his heart, and gradually becoming a little tired.

These days are all mountain roads, and it is extremely hard to cross the mountains and mountains, and the burning feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and you need to drink a lot of water from time to time. Where there is a mountain spring, it is fine, and sometimes there is not a drop of sweet water for a few days in the place where there is a shortage of water, so everyone can only use the little water carefully.

During the day, the skins had just been filled, and the horses had been drunk, and the water was quite sufficient. Thinking of water, he felt the danger of thirst, but he couldn't help it for a while, so he walked to the carriage where the palace maid was resting and gently knocked on the edge of the carriage, the young palace maid seemed to be used to it, heard this familiar knocking sound, and handed out a skin bag full of water.

Zhuo Zangfeng took the skin bag and drank it wildly, then looked at the skin under his feet that had already drunk all the water, thought about it, and didn't dare to finish it. He really wanted to pour it into three skins in one go.

The guards stared at him with wide eyes, all amazed at the amount of water he drank.

"This guy is a wine bag and a rice bag!"

Duan Chen corrected with a smile, "If there is wine in the skin, this kid must be reincarnated as an alcoholic." ”

Zhuo Zangfeng was irritable in his heart, so he glared at them dissatisfied.

When Duan Chen saw it, he remembered that even the guards often laughed at him, and also saw that he had been alone these days, not talking to anyone, and knowing that he had no friends here, he beckoned to him and said, "Since the little brother is so able to drink, can you drink all the water in our brother's skins." ”

After drinking half a bag of water, Zhuo Zangfeng's throat was still smoking, thinking that these guys were usually stingy, never gave their water to others, and never opened their mouths to borrow water from them.

At this time, seeing that Duan Chen had bad intentions, he was secretly proud in his heart.

He carefully bypassed the snoring guards, walked up to Duan Chen, and asked seriously, "What did you just say?"

Duan Chen said with a smile: "There are four water bladders of the Liuyun Sect here, and there are two water bladders of the guard brothers, seeing that you like to drink water so much, and you are very good at drinking, if you drink all the water in these six skin pouches, you can use the water brought by the six of us in the future." ”

Zhuo Zangfeng pretended to be thinking, and after thinking for a long time, he asked slowly, "You won't lie to me?"

Duan Chen had seen the young man drink up to two skins at a time. A skin bag contains ten catties of water, and these six skins filled with water are full of sixty catties of water, even two cows cannot drink it all at once. What's more, he had just drunk all the water in his skin, plus the half-skin water he had just drunk, he decided that he couldn't drink it anymore, so he said with certainty: "No." ”

Zhuo Zangfeng pretended to be worried, scratched his head, grinned and smirked, and said, "So much water, if I drink it, in the future, your skin will be used by me first?"

"Absolutely take care of you first!" the guard laughed.

Duan Chen motioned for everyone to be quiet, not to wake up the old nun and Captain Jiang.

In fact, they made such a fuss, as the princess's personal guard, how could Huiyue, who had cultivated very deeply, not know? It's just that she didn't want to meddle in her own affairs and just let it go.

Jiang Zhonghu, as the captain of the Yue Cavalry, was naturally much more vigilant than others, and when he heard that the Liuyun Sect and his subordinates joined forces to rectify the young man, he had a kind of schadenfreude, and simply pretended not to know, as long as nothing went wrong, it would be okay to let them play.

What's more, he was also very surprised by the amount of water that the boy drank, and wanted to see how much water he could drink at one time.

Zhuo Zangfeng was afraid that they would regret it, so he pointed to the water bladder on the ground and asked, "You have to be counted when you speak." ”

Duan Chen was secretly happy in his heart, and he had to maintain a calm expression on his face, for fear that the young man would see through their calculations.

"Don't worry, how can my monks not believe their word?"

Zhuo Zangfeng said: "Okay!" Thinking that this was not enough weight, and the stakes should be increased, he said: "I still have twenty taels of silver, and those who were going to go home to marry their daughter-in-law are now also pressed on it, and if I can't drink the water in these six skins, I will lose to you." ”

"Okay! this is a great plan!" the guard said loudly, and he was about to applaud when Duan Chen grabbed him.

Duan Chen said in a low voice: "Don't shout, let Captain Jiang know that there won't be such a good thing." ”

The guards were silent, Duan Chen was even more interested, seeing that Zhuo Zangfeng looked good, he didn't expect to show stupidity as soon as he spoke, it seemed that he was really not very shrewd, so he also took out the silver taels on his body and put them on the ground.

Seeing this, the other five people also took out silver taels and threw them on the ground, Zhuo Zangfeng peeked at it, it was about two hundred miles, and he thought that it was really not bad to have such an income for not working hard today.

Duan Chen, as the representative of this gambling fight, once again reiterated the rules, and looked at Zhuo Zangfeng nodding again and again, and the smile in his eyes rose.

"Little brother, these silver taels and water bladders are here, if you win, not only can you marry a beautiful wife, but you can also buy a few acres of land, let's start!"
