Chapter 169: Farewell to Qi Lan
After letting Ban Hong go, the two began to enter Langqi City.
"You really let him go?" Qi Lan said curiously.
Huang Zhangming knew that the other party was a member of the Purging Ministry, and judging from the news he said before, the Purging Department should have taken root in various parts of Sunan.
Putting such a spy back, and being in the area controlled by the barbarians, isn't Huang Zhang afraid of the endless stream of personnel of the Purge Department behind him?
"You've spoken, can I not let it go?" Huang Zhang asked rhetorically.
"I just told you to stop scaring him, but I didn't let him go."
The current Qi Lan is very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he doesn't want Huang Zhang to have an accident, after all, the secret of white chalcedony is now on him, and Huang Zhang must be alive to be useful, on the other hand, she is a barbarian, and she doesn't want Huang Zhang to deal with barbarians.
If it weren't for the damage to her own strength, she would definitely be able to control Huang Zhang and avoid these problems perfectly, but right now, the problems in her body are getting more and more serious, and she can't stop Huang Zhang from doing things at all.
"Where are the barbarian priests you are talking about?" Huang Zhang asked.
"It's in the sacrificial hall in the center of Langqi City!"
According to Huang Zhang's meaning, he sent Qi Lan to the barbarian priests, and then he could leap into the sea with a fish, and the sky was high and the birds could fly.
However, Huang Zhang was also vigilant, he didn't know if there were any masters like her among the barbarian priests in Qi Lan's mouth.
If there is another cardinal priest, won't he never be able to leave?
Therefore, Huang Zhang is also intentionally or unintentionally asking Qi Lan for news.
"I'm more curious, it hasn't been long since the barbarian army captured Langqi City, right? Why was your sacrificial hall built so quickly? ”
Qi Lan did not doubt him, and explained to Huang Zhang: "Langqi City used to be just a small town, and then the Su barbarians became friendly, and the Su people and barbarians began to trade a lot here, and over time, the original Langqi Town also became Langqi City, and there were many barbarians living in Langqi City, so it was natural to believe in the ancestral gods, so a sacrificial hall was built in Langqi City for the barbarians in Langqi City to worship. ”
"Oh, so this sacrificial hall was built before the war?"
"Hmm." Qi Lan nodded.
"In that case, Su Guo shouldn't allow the power priests of the barbarians to settle in such an important place, right?" Huang Zhang said straight to the point.
As soon as Huang Zhang said this, Qi Lan understood what he meant.
Dare to ask so much, Huang Zhang is worried about this.
Qi Lan shook his head: "Don't worry, there is no second red-clothed priest in Langqi City." ”
Hearing her say this, Huang Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, of course, Huang Zhang didn't believe that Qi Lan would be okay to deceive himself.
But along the way, as Qi Lan said, he can see the figure of the barbarian from time to time, compared to Wucheng, it seems to be more harmonious and quiet, and it seems to give people a feeling of being far away from the war.
You know, there was a big battle here not long ago!
Seeing these barbarians, Huang Zhang suddenly realized something, and he looked at Qi Lan.
"I'm afraid you're a fake, the priest of the Red Cloak!"
Hearing Huang Zhang's convulsive remarks, Qi Lan was a little baffled.
"Along the way, there are not seventy or eighty barbarians we met, but thirty or forty, and they didn't even say hello when they saw you?"
Qi Lan said that he was a priest of the red-clothed force, so it stands to reason that the barbarians should look respectful when they see the priests, but Qi Lan seems to be a transparent person in their eyes.
Qi Lan thought that what Huang Zhang said was something serious, and after doing it for a long time, she couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"Our power priests are different from ordinary priests, you are talking about revered ordinary priests, who are responsible for the faith of the clan, and we are more like the guards of the priests, responsible for maintaining the normal development of sacrificial activities."
Hearing Qi Lan say this, Huang Zhang understood, it turned out to be a thug.
The two chatted, and Huang Zhang saw a solemn three-story attic not far in front of him.
"The Sacrifice Hall has arrived!" Qi Lan said.
Seeing the sacrificial hall in front of him, Huang Zhang suddenly felt a little distracted, not because of how huge it was, but because of this solemn and solemn feeling, people couldn't help but admire and worship, this may be the intuitive feeling brought by being in the land of faith!
Under Qi Lan's instructions, the two of them came to the back door of the sacrificial hall, where two barbarian priests were already waiting early.
As for how Qi Lan transmitted the message, Huang Zhang did not know.
But looking at the outfits of the two priests, it is very different from Qi Lan, Qi Lan is wearing a red strong suit, with narrow sleeves and a waist, which is convenient for movement. But the priests were wearing wide-sleeved robes, which looked generous and decent, no wonder the barbarians would not react when they saw Qi Lan.
Putting the two together, it's hard to believe that they were both priests.
"Okay, then I'll send you here, and the rest of the way, you go by yourself, and I'm going to take the car!" Huang Zhang said with a smile.
Qi Lan saw Huang Zhang's cynical appearance, and shook her head helplessly, after getting along with each other during this time, she also had an understanding of Huang Zhang's character, this thing is like this, it is absolutely not serious when it should be serious, relax and can always say some inexplicable strange things.
Qi Lan also said to him: "I hope that the next time I see you, you are still alive!" ”
"Uh......"
Hearing this, Huang Zhang was quite speechless, is this a blessing or a curse?
After bidding farewell to Qi Lan, Huang Zhang turned around and left the sacrificial hall.
In order to prevent being tracked, Huang Zhang wandered around the city for a long time, and after making sure that no one was following him, he found an inn to live in.
To be honest, he was still a little reluctant to suddenly separate from Qi Lan.
This encounter between the two of them is both accidental and inevitable, according to Qi Lan, she came out this time specifically to find the barbarian holy weapon white chalcedony, and that white chalcedony is on him, they are destined to meet sooner or later.
But the encounter between the two was so dramatic, Huang Zhang didn't know why Qi Lan didn't kill him, and he didn't ask, maybe the answer is not important anymore, in Huang Zhang's opinion, this priest who once almost killed him actually has his own cute side, if it weren't for the fact that they were in different camps, I'm afraid the two would still be friends.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhang turned in the direction of the sacrificial hall and began to pray.
"The ancestral god of the barbarian tribe blesses, I hope I won't encounter this monster again next time!"
I don't know if it's spiritual, but it's not a bad thing to bow down.
Next time, if he meets Qi Lan again, I'm afraid that he will inevitably go deep into Nanban, and he doesn't want to lie down again.
What Huang Zhang should do now is how to return to Linjiang City from Langqi City.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Zhang had a headache, from Langqi City to Linjiang City, even if he traveled day and night, it would take at least half a month.
In the past half a month, he still has to guard against being discovered by the barbarians.
Huang Zhang didn't have the courage to cross the mountain range like Qi Lan, that Qi Lan had the strength, he didn't, if he walked the way back and forth, not to mention whether he was lost or not, that is, with his current strength, if he encountered a beast in the mountains casually, he would have to die without a place to bury.
He had to plan a safe route back!
