Chapter 38: A Woodcutter
"Next, it's time to go and see Yan Ran, Yan Ran, in this life, I will never let you suffer any more harm and grievances!" Back at his residence, Chu Chen told Zhao Ling'er and Li Ao the news that he was leaving.
"Childe, I'll follow you too. When Zhao Ling'er heard that Chu Chen was leaving, he also wanted to follow.
"Now is not the time for you to follow me, wait a few days. Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Now, the two of you are practicing martial arts well, and now in this troubled world, maybe when the Chu State will be invaded by other countries." ”
"Big brother, you can travel with peace of mind, we will practice martial arts well, and the next time we meet, we will definitely surprise the eldest brother." Li Ao said.
"Well, you're still the best. Chu Chen said with a smile, and then saw what Zhao Ling'er wanted to say, so he stopped her and said, "Okay, when I come back in a few days, I will take you to serve by my side." ”
"Childe is not allowed to lie to Ling'er. Zhao Ling'er pouted.
"When did Childe lie to you, okay, go buy some good wine and good food and come back, let's have a good meal tonight." Chu Chen smiled.
Zhao Ling'er went out to buy wine and food, and after Chu Chen chatted with Li Ao for a while, he was ready to refine some pills, part of which was for Li Ao and Zhao Ling'er to eat, and part of it was for Old Man Liu.
Chu Chen asked Li Ao to lay a hand next to him and teach him how to refine, however, this refining pill was nothing in Chu Chen's eyes, but Li Ao didn't understand it at all, and even made mistakes when dispensing medicine, but Chu Chen didn't blame him, and still patiently taught him.
"Big brother, it seems that I can't do this kind of delicate work, I'm afraid only Xiao Ling'er can. After Li Ao saw that he had made another mistake with a medicine, he finally wanted to give up, his character was not suitable for such delicate things.
"Okay, just watch me get around. Chu Chen smiled helplessly, and he didn't force Li Ao.
It took more than two hours for Chu Chen to refine all the pills, and then explained to Li Ao that during the time he was not in Luojun City, he would send a bottle to the Liu family every month, and other pills, let him and Zhao Ling'er eat one a day, which would be of great benefit to their cultivation.
The three of them had a good meal in the evening, and the next day, Chu Chentian got up just after dawn, and Zhao Ling'er had already prepared breakfast for him.
"Childe, if you want to go far away, let Ling'er take care of you by your side. Zhao Ling'er still didn't give up and wanted to go out with Chu Chen.
"My son understands your intentions, but this time it's really not good, practice martial arts at home. Chu Chen rubbed Zhao Ling'er's head like an adult comforting a child, and said with a smile. Lao Tzu went to see his sweetheart, and took you without letting his sweetheart suspect him?
Under the eyes of Li Ao and Zhao Ling'er, Chu Chen went out, first went to the horse market to retrieve the foster big white horse, and bought some dry food on the street, and Chu Chen rode out of the city.
It's just that before he walked a few miles out of the city, Chu Chen was dusty behind him, and the sound of horses' hooves roared; Chu Chen rode his horse to the side to make way for the gallop behind, but what he didn't expect was that these horses stopped in front of him, and the leader was actually Liu Chuang, followed by Zhu Wu, Wu Cheng and other no less than twenty people.
"Hey, where is Liu Gongzi going?" Chu Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw that it was Liu Chuang and the others, and asked.
"I've seen Mr. Chu!" Liu Chuang clenched his fists at Chu Chen, and the others also saluted Chu Chen.
"Mr. Chu, you can't go out of the city, someone wants to kill you!" Liu Chuang said to Chu Chen with a serious face.
"Who wants to kill me?" Chu Chen frowned slightly, he didn't offend anyone, could it be the death of Chang Feng and the others, and someone found out? Impossible, the death of Chang Feng and the three of them, he dared to guarantee that absolutely no one found out.
"The death of Chang Feng and the three of them has something to do with Mr. Yesterday, the heads of the three families of Chang, Bai, and Cheng personally went to the waterhole and found that the waterhole could not drown people at all. Liu Chuang said: "So, the three families are sure, Chang Feng and the three of them were not drowned at all, but were killed by someone, the three families issued a reward order yesterday to arrest the murderer, last night, there was a woodcutter who quietly went to the county government to report Mr. Chu, when I went out of the city, Chang, Bai, and Cheng had already dispatched people to Mr.'s residence to arrest people." ”
"What does the death of the three jackals have to do with me?" Chu Chen was stunned in his heart, he was only thinking about revenge at that time, but he didn't expect that the waterhole was indeed not as deep as a person, and under normal circumstances, no one could drown at all, but on the surface, Chu Chen was silent and sneered: "Mo Very, Bai, and Cheng are going to give Young Master Ben a trumped-up charge?"
"The county government has eyeliner under it, and the woodcutter said that he saw two female students from Los Angeles College! Now, Los Angeles College is also starting to look for the two female students that the woodcutter said. Liu Chuang said: "Because Chang Feng and the three of them were killed by Mr. who wanted to do something wrong, so, Chang, Bai, and Cheng did not put this matter on the bright side for the time being, I got the news, the Cheng family has bought off the dragon slaying, and is going to take action against Mr., if Mr. goes out of the city now, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be hunted down, and please follow Mr. back to the city first, I believe that with the power of my Liu family, I will be able to protect Mr.
"With the words of a woodcutter, I want to condemn Ben Shao, the three of them are too bullying, right?" Chu Chen sneered, originally he didn't want to move the Chang, Bai, and Cheng families, since they were looking for death, he was not welcome, but the woodcutter was also enough, if he really saw it, it would be okay if he didn't come out to testify for himself in his previous life, and now for the sake of silver, he dared to appear to identify him, did he really think that he Tianchen Immortal Venerable was so easy to bully?
"Liu Gongzi, let's say, do you need Ben Shao's help with something?" Chu Chen thought for a while, glanced at Liu Chuang, and asked, if Liu Chuang didn't have something to ask him to help with, according to his understanding of Liu Chuang, even if he Chu Chen died a hundred times, Liu Chuang would not take it to heart, and he was so kind to run out of the city to inform him of this matter today, there must be something to ask him for.
"It seems that I can't hide anything from Mr. Liu Chuang smiled bitterly, and then he turned grim, hugged his fist to Chu Chen and said, "Please also ask Mr. to help me, eradicate the dragon slayer, and avenge me!"
"Dragon Slayer?" Chu Chen was puzzled and asked, "What kind of enmity does Gongzi Liu have with Dragon Slayer?"
"Do you remember when you went out to do business last month, but you were intercepted and killed on the way back and seriously injured?" Liu Chuang said.
"Could it be that the dragon slayer did it?" Chu Chen nodded, Liu Chuang almost died that time, in order to save him, he had consumed a lot of mana, how could he not remember.
"After careful investigation during this period of time, I finally found out who the people who intercepted and killed the people below. Liu Chuang said: "It turns out that these people are the killers of the dragon slayer, and let me find out that the dragon slayer and the Cheng family have always been in contact, Mr. Chu, if the Cheng family and the dragon are not destroyed, Mr. will be endlessly hunted down, and the most important thing is that I heard that the dragon slayer is now secretly recruiting troops and expanding his power frantically." ”
"But I don't know martial arts, how can I help you?" Chu Chen shook his head and said.
"If what the woodcutter said is true, then Childe's martial arts are afraid that he has already reached the realm of transformation, even if Childe doesn't know martial arts, he can still prepare a few pairs of antidotes for him. Liu Chuang smiled and said.
"That Xiao Wu's enemy is also a dragon slayer?" Chu Chen smiled slightly, and glanced at Wu Cheng next to him, Wu Cheng was poisoned that day, and the antidote was prepared by him, which made Chu Chen can't help but ask.
"Sir is really clever, according to the investigation of the little ones these days, the little enemy is the four masters of the dragon slayer. Wu Cheng replied respectfully.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the direction of Luojun City, and in the dust, a team of men and horses galloped towards this side.
