Chapter 62: Thick-skinned

Zhuge Xie introduced Luo Xue and others to Zizhu, and after that, everyone sat down around a table and had breakfast together.

Luo Xue and Su Yu still had important things to do, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they said goodbye to Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie on the same day and left the village in a hurry.

Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing stayed for an extra day to take care of the frail villagers. Zhuge Xie was injured, and Gu Nian Zizhu was also injured, so he stayed for the time being.

That night, Zhuge Xie naturally used the so-called hometown therapy to heal Zizhu's injuries. Zizhu was unclear at first, but soon found that this so-called hometown therapy was too embarrassing.

She couldn't help but wonder: how can there be such a way of therapy in the world, and what kind of strange place is our hometown.

Although she believed in Zhuge Xie's words, it was really embarrassing for her to cooperate with Zhuge Xie to do so, and she even had to swallow his kind of thing, which was disgusting to think about.

For some reason, there was a sense of arrogance in her heart, which made it difficult for it to accept the dirty instigation of Zhuge Evil.

However, she couldn't withstand Zhuge Evil's rhetoric, soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she had to reluctantly do it.

On the second day, Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing were about to set off, and they found Zhuge Xie and prepared to say goodbye.

Zhuge asked Chang Yuanzhou: "Where are you going?"

"Fengmao City. Chang Yuanzhou replied, "My junior sister and I went down the mountain this time, firstly, to eradicate the resentful demonic Dao, and secondly, to go to Fengmao City to solve the trouble for a friend there. โ€

"What's the trouble?" Zhuge Xie continued to ask.

Chang Yuanzhou couldn't answer, but smiled.

Chu Qing on the side looked at Zizhu and said, "Mrs. Zhu, your appearance and temperament look very similar to one of our elders......"

Zizhu smiled and said, "Oh, what elder?"

Chu Qing was about to answer, but Chang Yuanzhou hurriedly stopped: "Senior sister, Hugh is rude!"

Chu Qing suddenly felt aggrieved, couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and said to Zizhu: "Senior brother didn't let me mention her, in fact, when you smiled just now, it didn't look like it." That elder of ours never laughs......"

Zizhu inadvertently saw the sword on Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing's backs, and his heart was inexplicably touched, as if he had remembered something, but it suddenly became blurry again.

She felt very strange and couldn't help but be suspicious.

Chang Yuanzhou said to Zhuge evilly: "Brother Zhu, the coming day is long, let's say goodbye." โ€

"Good. Zhuge Xie responded with a smile.

"Wait. Zizhu suddenly spoke.

Zhuge Xie and Chang Yuanzhou both looked at her inexplicably, and they didn't know why she spit out these two words.

Zizhu was also taken aback by herself, and she couldn't speak. Zhuge Xie on the side asked gently, "Madam, what do you have to say?"

"I-" Zizhu thought for a moment, and then asked Zhuge Xie rhetorically, "Husband, where are we going next?"

Where to go, Zhuge Xie hasn't figured it out yet, no matter where he goes, as long as Zizhu helps him cultivate the "Turning Clouds and Rain", it will be the same everywhere.

"We'll go wherever you want. Zhuge Xie replied.

Zizhu's gaze fell on Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing's swords again, and said: "Since this is the case, then husband, we might as well accompany Brother Chang and Miss Chu on a trip, if we can help a little, it would be good." โ€

Zhuge Xie was a little reluctant, because with these two disciples of the Beimang Sect, he couldn't do bad things with peace of mind.

However, he just said to Zizhu that we will go wherever you want to go, and he said it in front of Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing, and now he suddenly regrets it, which is really unreasonable.

"It's fine. He secretly gritted his teeth and agreed, "I don't know what Brother Chang and Miss Chu think?"

Chang Yuanzhou and Chu Qing went to Fengmao City this time, and the things they had to do were very tricky, and they didn't have much confidence in the first place, so they could only act at the opportunity.

Now Zhuge Xie and Zizhu have taken the initiative to join in to help, naturally it is the best, there are many people with great strength, and Zizhu is a master who can injure the Red Devil, which is not trivial, it must be a great help.

Therefore, Chang Yuanzhou did not shirk it, and immediately agreed: "Then thank you two." โ€

Zhuge Xie screamed in his heart: You fuck, why are you so thick-skinned, people just talk about it, you take it seriously......

A few days later, on an abandoned mountain road in the southeast of China, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.

Zhuge Xie stretched his waist and looked at Chang Yuanzhou, who was setting up a carriage beside him: "Brother Chang, how far do we have to go?"

Chang Yuanzhou replied: "Ten miles ahead, there is a small town called 'Fuxiang Town', and when you get there, it is very close to the capital of the Jiuxia tribe, and there is only half a day's journey left. โ€

Zhuge gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Ten miles of land, ten miles of land...... The good ones are not allowed to fly, and it is enough to choke on this broken carriage and drive ten miles. โ€

Chang Yuanzhou said with a smile: "Near the capital of the Jiuxia tribe, it is not allowed to fly indiscriminately to show respect for the Jiuxia tribe. โ€

"Fengmao City, the capital of the Jiuxia tribe...... Zhuge Xie muttered, "This Jiuxia tribe, is it very powerful?"

"Everywhere there are strong and where there are weak, you can't generalize. Chang Yuanzhou said.

As he was talking, the carriage stopped suddenly, not only did the two people in the carriage almost fall to the ground, but the two people in the carriage were also shaken to the ground.

Chu Qing's angry voice came out of the car: "Senior brother, how did you drive, you want to scare us to death, don't you?"

Chang Yuanzhou replied: "There are people in front." โ€

Chu Qing asked, "What person?" โ€

"It's not clear. Chang Yuanzhou looked at the people in front of the carriage and frowned slightly.

There were two people walking in front of him, one was an old man on crutches, and the other was a very handsome girl, she carried a small burden and supported the old man, who seemed to be the granddaughter of the old man.

They hurriedly walked to the carriage, and they didn't look at Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie, and just buried their heads in the road.

Suddenly, there was a sound of galloping horses' hooves, Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie were shocked, and the old man and the girl were even more panicked.

Looking up, he saw a group of cavalry rushing over on the road ahead, Chang Yuanzhou recognized the armor on their bodies, and identified them as sergeants of the Jiuxia tribe, a total of five people.

The appearance of the sergeant, the faces of the old man and the girl suddenly turned pale.

Soon, one of the sergeants in the lead came to him, reined in his horse, and stopped. He looked at Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie and their carriages, and made sure that they were passers-by, so he turned to the old man and the girl.

He shouted: "Hey, Old Man Chen, you dare to evade military service, come back with me to join the army!"

"Joining the army?" Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie were both puzzled, everyone could see that this old man was in his last years, and he only had half a life left before he died, and he still had to serve in the military?

"Master General, I'm really too old to go to the battlefield. The old man begged bitterly, and the girl was there to help.

The soldier naturally did not know what a general, but he was obviously very satisfied with such a title, so his attitude was a little better, and he said: "It's okay not to join the army, we will do it according to the old rules, and you can be exempted from military service if you pay military service tax." โ€

The old man said with a bitter face: "General, I really don't have any money. Over the years, I have sold all the valuable things, and I can't pay the military service tax, so you can spare me. โ€

The soldier was furious and shouted, "Dead old man, he has no money to pay taxes and does not join the army, and he dares to question the tax laws of our great Jiuxia tribe, what a damn!"

came to him and kicked the old man over. The girl screamed and pounced to see if the old man was hurt.

Seeing it so clearly, Chang Yuanzhou couldn't help frowning, but Zhuge Xie was full of interest.

Then another sergeant came up and whispered a few words in his companion's ear. Then, both of them looked at the girl at the same time and smiled.

"The little girl is really beautiful, so let's go back with my lord and enjoy the happiness, and your grandfather's taxes will be exempted. A sergeant said.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl, who cried and struggled to resist, but to no avail.

Seeing this, Chang Yuanzhou suddenly became furious.

When the sergeant was feeling refreshed, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't help but cry out, let go of his hand and take a few steps back, and the girl was also snatched away.

Standing firmly, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was a coachman in the carriage who was stirring up the situation, and he couldn't help but get angry, and pulled out a long knife from his waist, and another sergeant next to him also showed his weapon at the same time.

"You don't know how to live or die, dare to stir up the excitement of this master, go to death!" The long knife in the sergeant's hand flashed coldly, and he roared angrily and slashed at Chang Yuanzhou's body.

The long knife attacked, but the blade fell above Chang Yuanzhou's head, only a foot away, and it froze, as if it was blocked by something invisible.

And Chang Yuanzhou's hand had already clasped the sergeant's forearm, and with a slight pinch, the sergeant's bones were pinched off.

Ahhh

The sergeant begged for mercy like a pig.

"Enough is enough, and don't deceive people too much. Chang Yuanzhou said with a cold face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sergeants behind immediately rushed forward with their weapons in their hands and surrounded Chang Yuanzhou and the carriage.

"Don't act rashly, or elseโ€”" Chang Yuanzhou grabbed the broken sergeant in front of him and said coldly, "I'll pinch him to death first! he's your leader, right?"

"Don't, don't act rashly, I will kill anyone who dares to mess with me!" the captured sergeant hurriedly shouted to the other sergeants, his face was now bloodless and sweating like rain.

"Come over to me!" Chang Yuanzhou yelled.

"Come here, come here!" the sergeant leader trembled in agreement.

After hearing the order, the four sergeants around hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward step by step with trepidation.

"You four......" Chang Yuanzhou looked at them with his eyes, "all lie down for me." โ€

The four sergeants were still hesitating, when they suddenly saw a flower in front of them, and with a burst of scolding, they all staggered and fell.

"If you are told to lie down, you will lie down quickly, you will not die!" It was Zhuge Xie who came to help, and he was already impatient.
