Chapter 177: The low-key Taishou

The man drank a few sips of strong tea, settled his mind, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he raised his head and said in horror: "Bandit! Bandits! There are bandits in the original mountain! Kill people and sell more! All of them are dead! ”

The king asked, "How many bandits are there?" ”

The man struggled to remember, the horrific and bloody images flashing through his head, and the expression on his face was painfully distorted.

The man: "That's a lot! Better! It's all over the wild! Count them all! They are waiting for us to pass by at the foot of the mountain! Kill as soon as you come up! Kill! Not a single mouth will be left alive! ”

The crowd was shocked by the survivor's words, and they exchanged their heads and turned their ears into trepidation.

Wang Zhen returned to the courtyard where he lived and informed everyone of the incident.

Zhang Xuan said: "It turns out that what is waiting for us on the mountain road is a bandit!" Mrs. Wang, what about now? ”

Xie Daoyun said: "It's better to wait, you shouldn't be the first bird at this time!" ”

Tang Qiu said: "Since someone escaped after the robbery, maybe someone has already run to report to the official at this moment." ”

Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "It's useless, there can be a few military officials in a small county town, and the usual way to find a bandit is to report to the imperial court, and then wait for the imperial court to send troops down to quell the chaos." This delay may be a month and a half! ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Wait for two more days, wait for the husband to recover, kick the boulder to pieces, and go to the official road!" ”

Wang Zhen said: "Lady, I have recovered, you see that you have been tossed in the past two days!" ”

Zhang Xuan coughed twice and said, "Hey, pay attention to your words!" There are children too! ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Brother, you are so annoying!" ”

Yinying said: "Huh? He's talking about us! ”

Zhang Tongyun pouted: "Yes! ”

Just when there was a commotion inside, the director of the post house stood at the door of the hall and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me!" ”

Everyone looked out and found a young man standing next to the head of the inn.

Wang Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Chief, is there anything wrong?" ”

The director of the post house said: "Master Wang, the post house is full, and the courtyard you live in is the largest, see if you can make room for this lord to stay for one night." He's alone! ”

The king asked, "Is it full so soon?" ”

The director of the inn said: "Isn't this a bandit, it makes people panic, and they are scrambling to move in one by one." ”

Wang Zhen turned around and asked, "Can we vacate the room here?" ”

Tang Qiu said: "Give him my room!" I'm on duty tonight, and I'll go to the other brothers for half the night. ”

Wang Qian: "Chief, we have a room, let's leave people!" ”

The director of the post house arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Wang!" ”

Then he bent down and stretched out his hand to the young man, and said, "Master Zhu, please come here!" ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Master!" Go get busy! ”

The young man walked into the hall and bowed his hands to everyone, "Thank you for taking me in!" ”

Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "Under Wang Qian, may I ask the name of Brother Taizun?" ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "In Xia Zhu Xu." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "My name is Zhang Xuan, and the one who vacated the room for you is called Tang Qiu." Brother Zhu really only stayed for one night? ”

Zhu Xu arched his hand and said: "I've seen two!" I did only stay one night and leave tomorrow morning! ”

The king asked, "Where is Brother Zhu going?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "Wuxing County! ”

Everyone was surprised that they had to pass through Huiji County when they arrived at Wuxing County.

Wang asked: "Brother Zhu doesn't know that the official road in front of Yazui Ridge has been cut off by huge stones, and there are bandits who kill people and overcountry goods in the mountain road that can bypass Yazui Ridge?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "I know, but it's really helpless, I need to rush to work!" ”

Wang asked: "What official position is Brother Zhu going to?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "Wuxing County is too guarded! ”

Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Taishou?!" ”

Zhu Xu said: "Exactly! ”

Wang Zhen exclaimed: "Brother Zhu is really young and promising!" The king is ashamed! ”

Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang is a few years younger than me, maybe the official will be older than me in the future!" ”

Yinying quietly asked, "Sister, how many products is Taishou?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Four products! ”

Yinying looked at Zhu Xu, pouted and asked, "You are a fourth-grade official, why don't you even have an entourage?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "I will go wherever the court tells me to go, why show off everywhere with my entourage!" ”

Wang Qiandao: "Brother Zhu is so low-key, he must be a very powerful person." But don't be careless, I heard that the bandits in the area of Yuanxiang Mountain are not only numerous, but also ruthless, and there are few live mouths under the knife. ”

Zhu Xu said: "I didn't mean to hold it up, just because I was going to work within a time limit, and it would be bad if I missed the date!" ”

Wang asked: "There is a reason for the incident, Brother Zhu can explain it clearly with the last twist and turn, why do you have to take the risk alone?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to worry about me, I am a military general, and my self-protection ability is more than excellent." In addition, I need to see the situation of the bandits with my own eyes, so that I can seconded people from the state government to suppress the rebellion. ”

Zhang Xuan arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhu is a good official who works for the well-being of the people, I have thanked Brother Zhu for the passers-by!" ”

Zhu Xu replied: "Brother Zhang praised it, these are just my things!" I serve the court in order to protect the mountains and rivers, quell the rebellion and stop the chaos, and now I have experienced the rampant bandits, how can I ignore the reason! ”

Tang Qiu said: "As far as we know, the bandits hiding in the area of Yuanxiang Mountain are not ordinary bandits, and we guess that the boulder blocking the official road is their doing. Therefore, please forgive Tang Qiu for offending, Tang Qiu wants to try your skills, I hope your Excellency will allow it! ”

Wang Zhen explained: "Brother Zhu, Tang Qiu's concerns are not unreasonable, he went out to inquire in the morning, and the craftsmen of the government said that the texture of the boulder did not match the surrounding terrain and landform, and the boulder was transported from elsewhere. We estimate that most of them were done by bandits, in order to get us to take the mountain path. In other words, some of the bandits use the secret art of transporting boulders. ”

Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang doesn't need to explain, Brother Tang is sincere, and I don't feel offended." It's just that there are many people in the post house at this time, and the fight destroys the post house, and it's not good to accidentally injure others! ”

Tang Qiu said: "My secret technique is Gang Qi, are you sure that you will take my knife?" If so, we'll decide the winner! ”

Zhu Xu said without thinking: "This is very good! Brother Tang, please move to the yard! ”

The two stood on either side of the doorway of the hall, and the rest gathered at the doorway to watch.

Zhu Xu silently recited the incantation and said, "Petal Blade Umbrella!" ”

A large steel umbrella was grasped in Zhu Xu's left hand.

Zhu Xu waved the umbrella in his hand and explained: "This umbrella is composed of sixty-four sharp blades, and it looks like petals surrounding flower buds, so it has this name." ”

Tang Qiu silently recited the incantation, engraved the spell mark for the saber, and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "Please take action!" ”

Tang Qiu said: "Offended! Sky Split! ”

Tang Qiu was worried that he would damage the ground of the post house, so he split the Sky Slash diagonally, and the result was that the Sky Slash hit a larger surface.

Zhu Xu opened the petal blade umbrella to defend, and the split air slash hit the umbrella surface with a dull sound, and after a "poof", the split air slash was dissolved without a trace, and eight sharp blades fell from the petal blade umbrella.

Tang Qiu and Zhu Xu were not injured, and the game ended peacefully, and everyone applauded unanimously.

Zhu Xu easily turned the Gang Qi carried by the Splitting Sky Slash into invisibility, Tang Qiu sincerely admired, you must know that his blow was sent by wearing gloves that increased the output of immortal power.

Tang Qiu sighed: "Your Excellency is so powerful! ”

Zhu Xu looked at the umbrella in his hand that was divided into two halves, and said, "Brother Tang's blow can make my petal blade umbrella drop eight sharp blades, the power of this slash is really terrifying!" ”

Wang Zhen stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhu, can you tell us about the doorway of this umbrella?" ”

Zhu Xu said: "This umbrella can be attacked and defended, and when defending, it will drop the corresponding number of blades according to the power of the attack it bears, and the more it falls, the greater the power." I won't get hurt unless all the blades are dropped, and of course, the fall of the blades will deplete my mental and physical strength. When attacking, the blade will fly out to attack the enemy, and the more blades in the enemy's body, the more powerful the blade will be. ”

Silver Baby asked, "What should I do when I run out of blades?" ”

Zhu Xu smiled: "Don't worry, it will be automatically replenished after twelve hours." ”

Wang Zhen frowned and said: "This is offensive and defensive, sixty-four pieces are not enough!" ”

Zhu Xu said with a smile: "After the blade is used up, my Desire Mystic Technique can immediately fill it up. ”

Everyone was envious.

Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhu treats each other sincerely, and he is open and honest with us who first met him, and this open-mindedness makes Wang Zhen very admired!" ”

Zhu Xu said calmly: "Most of the people who live in the post house are doing things for the imperial court, so I have nothing to hide." ”

Wang Zhen said: "Brother Zhu, in fact, we are also in a hurry to rush to Shanyin County in Huiji County, why don't we go on the road together tomorrow?" It's better to take care of each other than to be alone, and we promise not to drag Brother Zhu back! ”

Zhu Xu said: "From Brother Tang's knife just now, I can see that you are all very powerful people, walking with you and taking care of each other, which makes me more sure, why not!" ”

Wang Zhen said modestly: "I can't talk about strength, I just barely protect myself!" ”

Yinying said: "My secret technique is the thunder light technique, and the secret technique of the king is the magic technique, so I won't talk about my sister's." The main combatants on our side are Tang Qiu, Wang Zhen and me! Is there anything else you want to know? ”

Zhu Xu smiled: "You have already told me everything I want to know." ”

Yinying said: "You are honest with us, and I want to be honest with you!" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Let's eat together after the discussion!" Rest early after eating and deal with the bandits tomorrow! ”

Zhang Xuan led everyone to the front of the post house to eat, and Tang Qiu went to inform the nursing home to leave tomorrow morning.

Wang Zhen and Xie Daoyun walked behind, and Wang Zhen said slightly apologetically: "Lady, I made a decision without authorization!" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "This Zhu Gongzi is sincere and powerful, which is a rare help. I'm just worried about your body. ”

Wang Zhen raised his hands and said, "I am young and strong, and my blood is strong, what is that consumption!" Don't you think I've been doing well for the past two nights? ”

Xie Daoyun smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay!" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Then I will perform well tonight to make the lady satisfied!" ”

Xie Daoyun said angrily: "I hate it! Let's go eat! ”
