Chapter 132: Sacrifice
Chen Guo released a large number of Jianghu forces from Yanguan, among which there were many powerhouses in the Cave Heaven Domain, where could the Blue Wolf Country parry? The technology of the Blue Wolf Country to build the city pass was far from sufficient, even if it built a camp at the north entrance of the Robbery Valley, it still could not get stuck in the path.
A large number of strong men from the northern snow fields were dispatched, and the new emperor of the Blue Wolf Country was a little anxious - this has not yet begun to implement the free trade zone, and the resources of the Valley of Robbery have given the people of the Chen Kingdom the first place, so what is it?
The snow in the north is already barren, and if you can't get a piece of the pie in the valley, it will be a loss for the whole country!
——
Han Qing laughed a few times before continuing: "Looking at your state, it's good to be able to reach the north entrance of the Valley of Robbery smoothly, and it is still possible to encounter that wild snow giant ape when you turn back to the south, so it's better to save it—besides, the people of your Dragon Roaring Mountain Villa are also at the northern end of the Valley of Robbery." ”
"Hmm, thank you for your advice. Yue Shiyi didn't feel strange when he heard that Longxiao Mountain Villa had also sent people to rob the valley - this was the case with the disputes in the rivers and lakes, where something big happened, people from all walks of life came. Even if the incident itself is not significant, people from all walks of life who often get together will cause something else to happen.
Although the Valley of Tribulation is a forbidden place on the world, in addition to the large number of spirit beasts, it is the vast thunder tribulation that once existed - but the vision of heaven and earth was terminated by the wind and the elderly, which greatly reduced the risk here, and also caused the grand occasion of countless people from the rivers and lakes gathering in the Valley of Tribulation.
"Oh, there's bad news for you. Han Qing dissected both hands with blood, and he was not too dirty, and while cutting and picking up the flesh of the split-horned beast, he said, "Gu Xue, the little maid of Yueyang Tower, heard that something happened. ”
"......" Yue Shiyi's movements froze, almost cutting off his hand, and hurriedly looked at Han Qing and asked, "What happened to Miss Gu?"
Han Qingquan should give face to Longxiao Villa, and said truthfully: "Your apprentice of Yueyang Tower borrowed Gu Xue's mother, Mrs. Gu, to spend the Lantern Festival in the town on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Mrs. Gu stayed in Yueyang Tower for one night, and the next day Gu Xue hired Zhou Hai's carriage to send Mrs. Gu back to Gujia Village, but there was an accident. ”
He has a lot of eyeliner, and Yueyang Tower, as the key object of care in terms of robbing the town, has no matter how big or small, so he naturally has to listen clearly.
Yue Shiyi heard Han Qing's statement, his eyes trembled in shock, he gritted his teeth and blamed himself for a while, slapped his thigh violently, and said regretfully: ", I shouldn't leave! I should stay in Yueyang Tower honestly and wait for my son to come back!"
Han Qing smiled noncommittally, seeing that this kid's face was anxious, pacing back and forth, so he said: "It's useless for you to be anxious, Mrs. Gu has been buried, and Cheng Yu, who robbed the town, is doing his best to investigate the matter - besides, there is good news, he is back." ”
"Huh?" Yue Shiyi was stunned, and when he reacted, he calmed down a lot, and let out a long breath, "It's good to come back safely, Mrs. Gu has an accident, and Miss Gu needs him to call the shots...... After I finish this matter, I will ask Gongzi and Miss Gu for their guilt!"
Han Qing nodded "um", and quickly finished decomposing the huge split-horned beast, he said: "After being busy for so long, you and I are tired, just in time for the rain to break - the thigh meat of this split-horned beast is extremely chewy, and it is fate to meet, so let's go to the stream to boil and drink, how about it?"
Yue Shiyi's eyes lit up, and the powerhouses of the Cave Heaven Domain met to drink, that was a good thing that many cultivators dreamed of!
The two of them then looked for the nearest water source, and Han Qing had a few cooking utensils in the void, so they were busy, boiled the soup base, adjusted the sauce, and set the table in the mountains and forests to drink.
As far as the normal situation is concerned, there is no need for Han Qing to show favor to a Xuan-level Slashing Spirit at all. He was a high-ranking figure in the Spirit Slaying Guild, and Yue Zheng was just a newcomer who had just joined the guild.
For the boss and the new employee, politeness is politeness - if the boss offers to drink together, it is always a little inappropriate.
However, if the new employee has a prominent family background and considerable ability, it is a different matter. Yue Shiyi is the kind of person who has a lot of talent and a lot of background.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Han Qing invited him to drink.
I also want to know that Han Qing's meal, in addition to having a good relationship with the potential junior Yue Shiyi, must have other purposes: "After you return to rob the town, what are your plans?"
"This ......" Yue Shiyi lamented, "Mrs. Gu was killed, we must find out the truth, bring the murderer to justice, and give the Gu family justice!"
"That's nature. Han Qing raised his glass and drank, the plan he asked was definitely not about Mrs. Gu, and after listening to Yue Shiyi's answer, he knew that the kid in front of him was definitely not a straightforward and stupid man.
As the so-called Ming people don't say secret words, Han Qing has Yue Shiyi's information, and he knows that it is best to be direct with such a person: "Then after finding out the truth, what are you and General Lie going to do?"
"......" Yue Shiyi's heart jumped, and when he saw Han Qing's playful eyes, he knew that this matter had to be hidden, and there was an embarrassing wry smile on the corner of his mouth, but his words were firm, "The younger generation regards General Lie as a role model and a friend—how he plans, I will do it." ”
He didn't know what Lieyang's plan was, although he had some guesses, but everything would have to wait until they met.
"That's right. Han Qing's expression was a little complicated, and he said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a peaceful prosperous era, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging-Chen Kingdom did not use the army to capture the northern snowfield, but used other means to complete the occupation!"
With the entry of the Jianghu sect, the expansion of various industry giants, and the encroachment of the huge economy, if the Blue Wolf Country does not have suitable measures, its economic lifeline will be controlled by the Chen Kingdom sooner or later!
"I heard that there are several places where spirit beasts gather in the Blue Wolf Country......" Yue Shiyi didn't want to think about something too complicated, so he drank a few glasses of wine by himself, and said, "The Spirit Slaying Guild is going to set up a branch, right?"
"That's it. Han Qing didn't hide this, "In addition to the Tribulation Valley at the junction of the two countries, there is the Snow Spirit Underground Palace north of Snow City, and the Moon Shadow Trace Lake on the eastern coast. ”
Yue Shiyi laughed when he heard this: "The Snow Spirit Dungeon and the Moon Shadow Trace Lake are all controlled by the Blue Wolf Imperial Court, and if the Spirit Slaying Guild wants to settle in, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
Han Qing is very confident in this: "No matter what, the guild's sales system and distribution channels are irreplaceable. As long as the Blue Wolf Imperial Court finds out that handing over the forbidden land to the Spirit Slaying Guild is more profitable than developing it yourself, then it will be nine out of ten. ”
For example, the current Blue Wolf Country has to spend four points of effort to win four points of income in the two forbidden lands. But handing over the forbidden land to the Spirit Slaying Guild only needs to spend a little effort, and you can get two or even three points of benefits.
It seems that the total benefit is smaller, but the efficiency is higher!
You can do more with the effort you save!
"It's all business...... Yue Shiyi thought deeply, "I don't know who made it in the end." ”
After a few glasses of wine, the faces of both of them were a little ruddy. The afternoon sun shone obliquely on the valley, through the canopy of the trees, dappled on the flowers and meadows.
Han Qing smiled: "A win-win situation is the best ending, if the guild gives less to the imperial court, and the discount is not enough, the imperial court will definitely not be happy." But the court wants too much, and our guild doesn't do it - so it would be better to calculate accurately so that both sides can earn. ”
And the Spirit Slaying Guild has always done this.
The blue wolf country is short of manpower, but the Chen country is not lacking. The court of the Chen Kingdom has always tolerated the existence of the Spirit Slaying Guild, and there must be a reason for it.
To put it bluntly, it is profit.
It's business.
——
The two of them don't drink much, and it's quite comfortable to eat six or seven minutes full. Han Qing knew that Yue Shiyi had a special goal, so he simply said: "I know that you are pursuing your own experience, and the spirit beast you want to fight is nothing more than a spirit core of a certain attribute—it just so happens that I am also free, so I will go with you and sweep the formation for you?"
For a great cultivator in the Cave Heaven Domain, there is nothing that cannot be obtained from a spirit core below the spirit level. said that he would directly give most of the people a little contemptible, Han Qing said "sweeping the formation", and Yue Shiyi would gladly agree.
The level of the Thunder Devouring Beast was above the Phantom Spirit, and its combat attributes were extremely strong, and Yue Shiyi still had some difficulty in dealing with the Thunder Devouring Beast of the Xuan Spirit level. There is a strong man in the Cave Heaven Domain by his side, which can be regarded as an extra insurance.
No one wants to leave their lives in the wilderness casually - no one wants to take the initiative to experience life and death unless absolutely necessary.
Not to mention that Yue Shiyi was escorted by Han Qing to find the Thunder Devouring Beast, Lieyang, Lu Yu, and Bang Cheng quickly chased after him from the south of the Raid Valley, and the process was quite smooth.
Lieyang originally planned to use the Wind and Snow Wing, but the forest in the valley was dense, and it was easy to chase after him, so he inquired along the road, and when he saw someone, he asked "if you see a burly man in a gray leather coat".
Not to mention, I really found out about Yue Shiyi's traces.
From this, the general process of Yue Shiyi was deduced, and Lieyang and the others could use the Wind and Snow Wings to catch up—with the Wind and Snow Wings, it was much easier to cross the lawn in the core area, and the huge canopy covering several miles made Gu Xue and Wan Cheng's faces invariably turn cold.
After a long time, Lu Yu still remembers those heart-wrenching pictures.
In a desperate situation, Ye Baixiao, who had been handsome and extraordinary, was in the wrong shape, and when he passed by, he said: Princess, if there is an afterlife, Baixiao is willing to continue to be your knight!
Anyway, go to death brazenly!
"......" Lu Yuzheng was a little sad, but he saw that the sun suddenly broke away from the flying team, and his left hand grasped the joystick of the wind and snow wings, in a slow gliding posture.
He took out a small wine glass in his right hand, poured it directly from the void, and sprinkled it in the air, whispering in his mouth: "Silver Wing Warrior, although you and I are our own masters, we were once enemies - but no matter friend or foe, I respect you as real men and I salute you three glasses!"
Lieyang said, and sure enough, he spilled three glasses of wine in a row, remembering the scene of the Silver Wing Warriors exploding one after another that day, just like the brothers of the Eighteen Horsemen of the Hot Wind, he didn't feel good in his heart.
Toast is toast, but the sun does not salute - in the end, there is the arrogance of the Flame Army, if General Yanguan salutes the Blue Wolf Army, wouldn't it make the fallen Flame Army soldiers feel cold?
Even so, Lu Yu and Bang Cheng felt very moved when they saw it.
Lieyang finished toasting, and he drank a glass of wine by himself, and was about to continue chasing to the northeast, when he suddenly remembered something, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sharp smile.
At that time, the strength was condensed, and the noon fire spirit seed surging forward, just above the huge canopy in the center of the valley, looking at the green dome, a raging flame struck out!
