Volume 2 Chapter 41 The Bachelor
The bewitching woman dragged her scarred body out of the inn, and Chu Zhao had an extra soft sword in her hand, a trophy.
This battle caused a great sensation in Taqi Town, after all, the final battle was too big, and the town was not large, so it was impossible not to attract attention.
Before the bewitching woman returned to General Bantuo's mansion, General Bantuo, who was waiting for good news, got the news of the defeat of the bewitching woman.
Taqi Town is the territory of General Ban Tuo, this trading town between the two countries has been operated by him for many years, as long as it is something he wants to inquire about, it will be found out in less than an hour.
After receiving the news of the defeat, the irascible General Ban Tuo did not get angry, but sat on the Taishi chair uncharacteristically calmly, showing the calmness and steadiness of a superior person.
The bewitching woman is not the strongest combat force under his command, but her defeat tells him that the other party is not a foreigner who can knead at will, but a powerful dragon crossing the river.
"General, my subordinates are willing to bring someone to capture that kid back. ”
Tuda, a close and powerful general under General Bantuo, asked for his life.
General Ban Tuo was silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Even the Red Lian Immortal is not an opponent, how many men and horses do you need Tuda to be able to capture this person, and how many crossbows do you need to assist?"
Tuda was stunned when he heard this, and his mind turned sharply, but he couldn't give an accurate answer for a long time.
General Ban Tuo is brutal by nature, and he has been licking blood from the knife since he was sensible, and he did not die halfway, step by step to get to where he is today, relying not only on killing, but also on appropriate forbearance.
Five thousand elite soldiers, even the Great Masters of the Seven Realms can kill them, but what about the losses?
To be able to defeat the Six Realms Monk Chi Lian Immortal, it is conservatively estimated that it will take five hundred elite soldiers, and even be equipped with a crossbow, the loss in the middle is unknown, and whether it can be captured or killed is also unknown.
Sure, he could have more soldiers and more crossbows, but was it worth it?
He had a complete grasp of the whole story of his son's injury, and the cause was only a woman.
Because a woman offends or even pays the price to kill a Six Realms monk without any benefit, this is stupid, and as a leader, this is absolutely unacceptable.
For a leader, dignity cannot be trampled on, especially on his own turf, but when things go beyond the bottom line that he is unwilling to bear, all contradictions can be resolved.
Just as General Ban Tuo was about to suffer this disgusting loss, a man who allowed him to go down the stairs came.
The owner of the Huaiyuan shop, Sang Ha, came to visit.
General Ban Tuo knows who is the backstage of Huaiyuan's shop, the two sides have been in a balanced situation of well water and river water, and there has been no contact in private, General Ban Tuo, who does not know Sanha's intentions, met with each other, when he learned that Sangha came to intercede for the "Shenghe" Chamber of Commerce, General Ban Tuo expressed his anger and then got off the donkey, saying that he forgave the "Shenghe" Chamber of Commerce for the sake of Tobai's face.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and it wasn't until Sang Ha met Gu Baichuan and learned what happened in the inn that he scolded the old fox.
The seemingly intractable crisis was solved so easily, and everyone knew the fundamentals on which it depended.
If Chu Zhao is defeated or killed by the bewitching woman called Chilian Immortal, then the heads of the "Shenghe Chamber of Commerce" and others are already on display at the gate of the town, and Gu Shuangshuang, who has been out for the first time, will also usher in a tragic end in the dark.
Everything was resolved because of Chu Zhao's strength.
The matter was resolved, but Gu Baichuan still decided to give General Ban Tuo a large amount of compensation for his future business, Chu Zhao nodded secretly, he was able to do business in Taqi Town for more than ten years, and Gu Baichuan's wisdom in human relations and sophistication was admirable.
Gu Baichuan decided to thank Chu Zhao, if it weren't for Chu Zhao, the little girl Gu Shuangshuang would definitely be snatched away by Ba Gen and her innocence would have been destroyed, and if there was no Chu Zhao, they would have become cold corpses at this time.
Chu Zhao declined this kindly, and decided to go on the road.
Wei Jinzhong's "fire poison" is not enough to be fatal, but it tortures him all the time, Chu Zhao needs to find the six-grade snow lotus as soon as possible to help Wei Gonggong relieve the pain of "fire poison".
It is impossible to grasp the time of looking for the six-grade snow lotus, because this kind of thing is hard to find, and Chu Zhao also inquired about Gu Baichuan in private, and learned that the six-grade snow lotus does not have a single plant even if it is the Northern Mongolian royal family.
He really doesn't have the time to waste his time on things that don't matter.
In the end, Chu Zhao left Taqi Town, and under the eyes of Gu Baichuan and others, he rode alone towards the endless desert, and when he couldn't see Chu Zhao's figure, Gu Shuangshuang, who had been suppressing himself, cried very sadly.
Chu Zhao's outstanding appearance, gentle and jade-like personality, dusty temperament, and mysterious identity made Gu Shuangshuang sink into it.
Gu Shuangshuang is in his twentieth decade, and it stands to reason that he has passed the age of the first love, but when he saw Chu Zhao for the first time, Gu Shuangshuang, a big, lively and cheerful girl, fell in love with Chu Zhao deeply.
Love at first sight.
It's a pity that the two are not in the same world.
Thousands of miles away from Taqi Town, in the west of Dafeng, a small village the size of a palm came a foreigner, old and frail, scarred, and blind, and it was difficult for the villagers to imagine how such an old man who was about to die came here.
The simple villagers took in the poor old man and provided food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so that the weathered old man could get a trace of warmth.
The old man lived in a single family at the head of the village, he was the only one in the family, and he did not ask for a daughter-in-law in his thirties, and in the evening, he was cooking rough grain on the fire in the wooden shed in the yard, and the smoke curled up, and the faint fragrance of the grain filled the whole yard.
The old man who was taken in walked out of the earthen house tremblingly, and the bachelor man saw it and smiled: "Wait a while, the meal will be ready immediately." ”
The old man's gray eyes did not have half of the brilliance, but he seemed to be able to see everything, smiled at the bachelor and nodded, and said, "Do more, there are guests coming." ”
The bachelor looked puzzled, not knowing where the old man had started to say this.
Just when he was wondering, as if to fulfill the old man's words, there was a knock on the dilapidated courtyard door.
The bachelor glanced at the old man, wiped his hands and hurried to open the door.
"It's all about eating, and I don't know who is so good at stepping on the door. ”
The courtyard door was opened, and what greeted me was an old man with a fairy wind and bones, dressed in a cyan robe without a trace of dust, carrying a long sword carved with a yin and yang pattern on the hilt, and the whole person was like a Taoist fairy who walked out of the picture scroll.
"This ...... What's the matter with this Daoist?"
The old man glanced at the old man in the courtyard and said with a smile: "I'm looking for him." ”
The bachelor thought that the two were old acquaintances, and hurriedly invited them into the hospital, and the gray-eyed old man asked the bachelor to be busy, and the bachelor nodded, and didn't ask much, although the food at home is not rich, but how can not make the guests hungry.
The old man in the cyan robe is the Changchun real person that Chu Zhao has met once and saved Jian San, the gray-eyed old man doesn't need to ask, the seven disciples of the Demon Sect Shitian Throne are powerful!
Ghost Li didn't have the nervousness of facing the enemy at all, sat on the wooden bench, and said calmly: "You are chasing very fast!"
"It's because you're walking slowly, why do you want to stay here?" Changchun Zhenren sat opposite Ghost Li without fear and asked: "Less than a hundred miles to the west is Tubo, and it is really safe to enter Tubo." ”
"I'm tired and tired all the way away. Ghost Li said calmly: "Thirty years ago, the old man did not flee to Tibet or Northern Mongolia, and he will not be thirty years later. ”
Changchun Zhenren smiled: "Is this resignation?"
"When did the old man admit his fate in his life? The old man just wanted to try if he could leave the life of the 'Qiankun Sword' Song Zhenji here!"
Changchun's real name is Song Zhenji, and the Qiankun sword is the sword of Changchun Zhenren, and it is also the treasure of Changchun Temple, one of the top ten swords of Daomen.
Changchun Zhenren smiled: "Thirty years ago, it was hard to say, but now you can't." ”
Ghost Li stood up with great difficulty, and said with a smile: "The old man will definitely not be able to do it alone, if you add the old man and senior brother, you must be ninety percent sure." ”
Changchun Zhenren frowned when he heard this.
The bachelor who was cooking in the wooden shed clapped his hands and smiled at Changchun Zhenren: "Song Zhenji, do you still know me?"
