Chapter 24: The World is Impermanent
On the oasis meadow, Hu Tiehua and Peng Yihu were still confronting King Qiuci, because they didn't understand why King Qiuci gave them such a big gift.
The ransom demanded by Shi Guanyin was 5,000 taels of gold, 500 grains of pearl, and 50 sides of jade.
The ransom is high, but you don't have to pay the same price as the ransom to witness the transaction go through.
Even if it's only one-tenth, it can make countless top masters like Hu Tiehua go on a trip for him.
The master also has to eat.
Shi Guanyin on the front foot sent a letter saying that Chu Liuxiang was captured, and the king of Qiuzi on the back foot sent a big gift to ask someone for help?
Not to mention Hu Tiehua, even Li Chaofeng, who knows the plot, is also a monk with the second chief, and he is confused.
Hu Tiehua was puzzled, so he also asked.
"The king is so generous, but I am flattered, but the cost of the king asking someone to help, is it higher?"
King Qiuzi laughed: "It's not high, it's not high, the skills that Hua Daxia showed yesterday are really amazing, and the Star of Bliss must be foolproof, even if it is twice as high, Xiao Wang is also out." ”
Hu Tiehua was stunned, and then laughed.
"Such a good thing, the king must have other requirements, right?"
King Qiuzi glanced at Li Chaofeng's face with his eyes, and when he saw that the other party was not angry, he also nodded in response.
"That's nature... I only hope that your two companions will stay here and wait for you to return to the Star of Bliss. ”
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Hu Tiehua raised her head and laughed, turned her head to look at Ji Bingyan and Li Chaofeng, who were silent behind her, but shook her head again and again, her tone full of contempt.
"Hey, although I have never had a heart or lungs, I have also heard a sentence that I never count the meat on my plate if I don't eat the meat in my stomach."
"So... How do you convince me that when I bring back the Star of Bliss, you will let us go safely? ”
King Qiuzi smiled even more, because he had already calculated this, and seeing that Hu Tiehua's tone was a little loose, he hurriedly said it.
"The friends of the Peng family can leave the camp with you, and I will ask them for another dart, as long as you can bring back the Star of Bliss safely, you can naturally return to the Central Plains to get what you want."
Dolts... In addition to the start and end points, if you want to collect the dart, there will also be a token.
With the token, the dart is yours, otherwise the Peng family recognized the wrong person and sent the wrong dart, whose loss is it.
There are human skin masks everywhere on the rivers and lakes, and the Peng family can't see an employer, so they can tear at his face.
King Qiuzi's plan was very simple, Peng Yihu left with money, put the token on himself first, and wait for Hu Tiehua to bring back the Star of Bliss, and then the two sides would exchange.
Everyone was stunned, because they didn't expect that King Qiuzi really planned to redeem the Star of Bliss at double the price.
But... What is the rationale?
No one cares how King Qiuzi found out that Hu Tiehua and Peng Yihu are not together, because as long as they are not blind, they can see that Hu Tiehua and the three are not the seven tigers of the Peng family.
Whether it was yesterday's banquet seating, or last night's separate rest, it proved a point.
Not to mention, King Qiuzi already knew a news that only five tigers were sent to the darts, not seven tigers.
And letting Peng Yihu send a dart blocked the possibility of King Qiuci turning his face and not recognizing people, because once King Qiuci got the Star of Bliss, the Peng family would find out.
After inquiring, if Hu Tiehua has any tokens, Peng Yihu will give the dart to Hu Tiehua's relatives and friends, because he is not only a dart master, but also a notary public.
The Peng family is indeed very weak in the desert, but the Peng family of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is a suppressive existence in Shanxi, not to mention a small frontier country like Qiuzi, even when the emperor enters Shanxi, he does not dare to despise the prestige of the Peng family.
can be used as a background board for countless times in Gulong novels, and the top masters of the Peng family may be rare, but first-class masters, that is like a carp crossing the river.
The Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is the secret knife technique of the Peng family, strong, mighty, domineering, "one knife to break the door, one knife to break the soul", dominating the rivers and lakes for 80 years, there are few opponents.
The Pengmen Seven Tigers, one counts as one, and they are all first-class masters.
Decades ago, Peng Tianshou swept the two rivers with a knife in his hand, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Such a big family is extremely low-key and introverted, and naturally no one dares to say or believe what they say.
Peng Yihu secretly nodded to Hu Tiehua, because he couldn't see any conspiracy in King Qiuzi's plan.
Peng Yihu dared to escort the Star of Bliss to Qiuzi, so he could naturally escort this dart back to the Central Plains.
And this trip is even easier than the Star of Bliss, because no one will offend the Peng family because of this bit of gold, silver and jewelry, and Peng Yihu, who is returning, also began to understand the desert.
So Hu Tiehua was even more confused.
Not to mention Hu Tiehua, even Ji Bingyan was puzzled, Li Chaofeng... Naturally, he frowned.
Because King Qiuzi can indeed do without the Star of Bliss, but there is not much possibility that King Qiuci will break his promise and kill Hu Tiehua.
The secret of the Star of Bliss is not exposed, Hu Tiehua is a thug, and the secret of the Star of Bliss is exposed, and Hu Tiehua is an unrelated person.
So Li Chaofeng only has three words in his heart, why?
But if Li Chaofeng knew the real answer, he might slap himself in the face!
The answer is... King Qiuzi misunderstood Li Chaofeng's identity.
What kind of person is Li Chaofeng, a well-known unlucky guy on "Weapon Spectrum", because of this reason, he has been living incognito.
But he himself didn't have much need to be incognito, and when he opened a restaurant in Haicheng, he was fine, either practicing every day, or cooking himself, and teaching his cooks to cook by the way.
Introduce yourself or something, a "good boss" is enough to deal with most scenes.
And when he entered the desert, Chu Liuxiang Ji Bingyan naturally knew his identity, but the fourth son of the Peng family, Li Chaofeng, did not directly trust him, and directly assumed the name of Snake Ghost.
The same is true for the later "Peng Xiaosnake", Chu Liuxiang knows that the name of "Liu Xiang" is a normal point to confuse the public, but Li Chaofeng just doesn't want to use his brain more.
And this extremely arrogant attitude in the eyes of King Qiuzi, what else will there be besides juvenile arrogance?
The answer is... Royal extravagance.
And there are two things that make King Qiuzi confirm this guess, the first is that Hu Tiehua's martial arts are at the top, but he has been guarding Li Chaofeng's side, faintly protecting his safety.
The second is that before Ji Bingyan eats, he will unconsciously glance at Li Chaofeng twice, and will only eat after he moves his chopsticks.
What is it?
This is a subordinate!
But Hu Tiehua protected Li Chaofeng because Hu Tiehua invited Li Chaofeng to come to the Longtan Tiger's Den this time, and he felt that he had the responsibility to protect the other party and return to the Central Plains safely.
Ji Bingyan looked at Li Chaofeng before eating because Li Chaofeng had five senses, and if there was a problem with the meal, Li Chaofeng would naturally remind him.
Li Chaofeng's own sense of arrogance towards the whole world, coupled with the assistance of Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, successfully made King Qiuzi think that Li Chaofeng was a royal child!
So there was no wedding, it wasn't that he didn't want to follow the princess's advice and marry his ugly eldest daughter to Hu Tiehua, who was strong in martial arts, he just didn't dare.
He's the King of Qiuzi, but Qiuzi is just... Small.
If you force a royal guard to marry an ugly woman, the royal guard is afraid that he will kill someone.
And Princess Pipa suffered too much from marrying Hu Tiehua, because the royal guards could not stay in Qiuci, and King Qiuci had no children under his knees, and Princess Pipa was almost the ironclad heir to the throne, and it was impossible to leave Qiuci.
And marrying a "royal child", even if King Qiuzi is willing, Princess Pipa is a little unworthy.
Shi Guanyin, who already knew Li Chaofeng's true face, almost laughed out loud in front of King Qiuzi.
A small person who is not even a pawn is actually regarded as a "general" and "handsome" by King Qiuzi.
The most important thing is that even if everyone discovers the true identities of Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan in the future, as long as Li Chaofeng's identity is not revealed, he can still be a "royal child".
Before Li Chaofeng didn't want to say who he was, no one dared to reveal his identity as a "royal son".
That's how things go sometimes... Strange.
Shi Guanyin smiled in his heart, and then made King Qiuzi completely believe in this matter with a sentence of great admiration, and then Shi Guanyin captured Chu Liuxiang, who was still thinking about how to complete Shi Guanyin's task.
Well, Chu Liuxiang took over the task at the beginning, and then after Shi Guanyin heard the brain hole of King Qiuzi, he came up with a new plan.
Compared with Chu Liuxiang, who was uncontrollable, Shi Guanyin certainly believed in his plan more.
So the current Chu Liuxiang is just a hostage.
