Chapter 166: Gift of the Sword
Next, Xu Yang told Mu Zhuolun about the imminent arrival of the Qing court's counterinsurgency army and the fact that the Red Flower Society was going to borrow the Ministry to take refuge temporarily, because he had mentioned this time before, and at this time, Mu Zhuolun was naturally full of promises, as for how to arrange manpower and when to evacuate in the end, it depends on the outcome of the discussion on the Red Flower Society.
Xu Yang successfully achieved the purpose of his coming, and just wanted to say goodbye, Huo Ayi had already come in in a hurry, it turned out that the banquet had been arranged, and Xu Yang naturally had to stay and have a good meal.
These days are busy coming and going, running around, and it has been a long time since he has been able to eat a meal in Ansheng, and Xu Yang's impression of Huo Ayi has improved a lot.
It's just that now is a special period, except for a few dishes of beef and mutton at the banquet, there are not a few other dishes, but Xu Yang still eats very comfortably, and it is rare to have a leisurely moment without having to bother with his own brains.
In fact, Xu Yang didn't need to evacuate with the people of the Red Flower Society, he was alone, his martial arts were high, and he could disguise himself, so it was actually very easy to escape alone.
However, Xu Yang wanted to send them to an absolutely safe place so that they could leave with confidence.
That night, Hongday's subordinates were all wiped out, and naturally the dozen or so task objects were also hung up perfectly, but in fact, Xu Yang's tasks were basically completed.
Except for one Beggar Gang Fan Gang Leader whom he didn't want to kill, the task was almost perfect.
With the rest of his time, Xu Yang thought of walking around, especially the Great Snow Mountain, wouldn't it be better if he could find the treasure of King Chuang through the limited clues in his hand.
Although the resources in Xu Yang's hands now are enough for him to be a rich man in the main world, considering the uncertainties in other small worlds in the future, he will feel more at ease if he can master a large amount of treasure in his hands.
After eating with Mu Zhuolun, Xu Yang found that Hui Ren was still very enthusiastic, and the only few good dishes were placed on Xu Yang's table, which made him feel very embarrassed.
However, it is not good to push and contribute, so as not to make people feel that they look down on this banquet.
Thinking about it, Xu Yang could only say a few jokes suitable for the banquet to amuse everyone.
Huo Qingtong had been observing Xu Yang coldly from the side, and she found that she couldn't understand this man more and more.
From the disdain at the beginning to the current appreciation, Huo Qingtong herself is actually changing, but it is far from changing as much as Xu Yang in her eyes.
A lewd, money-greedy and lustful man, he was actually a wise man, and then he also helped his tribe find the lost holy relics, and now Xu Yang, who was talking at the banquet, showed his humorous side, and some novel topics seemed to be endless in his mouth, making everyone involved laugh back and forth.
What a strange man, funny.
Happy times always pass quickly, and the banquet is coming to an end without the concoction of alcohol.
When Xu Yang said goodbye, he specially took care of Mu Zhuolun and Huo Qingtong, and he must prepare the camel team and horses in advance, and this time the Red Flower Club will also have to carry some food and materials over, and it is inconvenient to have no camel team.
Mu Zhuolun agreed, and immediately arranged for Hoayi to contact the camel team.
Xu Yang came happily and returned happily, giving away a scripture that was useless to him, and won the friendship of all the Hui people, and the deal was definitely worth it.
Huo Qingtong sent Xu Yang to the door, and Xu Yang wanted to say goodbye, but when he saw that Huo Qingtong seemed to be a little speechless, he laughed and said, "Sister of the Huo family, reluctant to let my brother go?"
As soon as he said that, Xu Yang felt that he was a little abrupt and beautiful, and just wanted to change his words, but he saw Huo Qingtong's face blushing slightly, and he actually nodded.
Xu Yang could hardly believe his eyes.
Even in the main world, he has always been known as a little handsome, and he has never been favored by a beauty of Huo Qingtong's level, not to mention that he is still possessed by Yan Ji, which can be regarded as an ugly skin, but he didn't expect Huo Qingtong to be interesting to him.
Could it be that your own peach blossoms have arrived?
Huo Qingtong gritted his silver teeth at this time, took out a short sword from his waist, handed it to Xu Yang, and said: "This short sword was given by my father, and it is said that there is a great secret hidden in the sword, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and no one has ever referred to it. Today, Mr. Xu found my holy relics, Qingtong has nothing to repay, and Mr. Xu is also asked to accept this sword. Mr. Wise, he may be able to solve the mystery in the sword. After saying that, his face turned red for no reason, and he turned around and went back to the inn.
Xu Yang was still polite, but he didn't expect Huo Qingtong to be so simple, looking at this short sword inlaid with gold and jade, he naturally knew that the mechanism inside was a double-layer scabbard, and in the middle was a sword with a handle cut into gold and broken jade, and a treasure map was hidden in the second layer of scabbard.
Unexpectedly, the treasure of the king has not yet been seen, and the clue to this desert treasure has been obtained again.
It's just that in the original book, Huo Qingtong gave this sword to Chen Jialuo, and now because of his appearance, the two of them did not intersect like in the original book, could it be that Huo Qingtong's girlish heart sprouted and moved her heart to herself?
Xu Yang thought of this, he didn't have the slightest confidence, if it was just that he misunderstood, it was fine, if it was true, he would leave soon after, but how did Huo Qingtong deal with himself?
Thinking all the way, Xu Yang unconsciously returned to the rudder of the Red Flower Society.
Back at the rudder, the discussion there was over, and all the leaders agreed with Chen Jialuo's decision to temporarily avoid the Qing army's edge, after all, they were better at fighting in the rivers and lakes, and they were just a group of inexperienced newcomers in war.
Instead of using your weakness to meet the enemy, it is better to temporarily abandon Lanzhou City, and then attack the Qing army in a roundabout way.
Xu Yang is very satisfied with the efficiency of the Red Flower Society, the victims don't need them to bother, but they are also subjects of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how ferocious the Qing army is, it will not take that poor life-saving food from their mouths, on the contrary, it is necessary to arrange some manpower to suppress the chaos among the victims, I believe that after ten days, this elite Qing court counterinsurgency army will become a tired army with insufficient food, and the people of the Red Flower Society will wait for the time to kill back and solve them.
After informing Chen Jialuo of the good news about returning to the people, Xu Yang went back to his house to pack his luggage, although he had space to carry around, but he always had to do something on the surface.
Early the next morning, the group followed the guide and left the city where they had fought bloodily.
Along the way, as long as the victims who had received their favors wept bitterly, trying to keep them, the whole team was in a bad mood all of a sudden.
Xu Yang said loudly to everyone: "Don't worry, big guys, the retreat is only temporary, and we will be able to kill it back in a few days." ”
As for how long it will take to come back, Xu Yang really didn't dare to say enough, after all, the ten-day period was only his most optimistic estimate, and everything would have to wait for the secret agents arranged by the Red Flower Society in the city to send information before he could make a final judgment.
