Chapter 12: Xiang Shao's Anger
In the president's office on the fifth floor of the headquarters of the Luosha City Chamber of Commerce, Xiang Shao sat on a reclining chair, staring at a middle-aged man kneeling not far away with a cold face.
After a long time, he asked, "Winter has rebelled?"
The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground trembled, and immediately fell to the ground, "Lord Huixiang's words, that's right, Dong is already loyal to that Lord Luo, although we are very angry, but we are not their opponents, so we can only retreat." ”
The corners of Xiang Shao's mouth lifted and he smiled slightly, "Very good, you can go." He waved his hand.
The middle-aged man hurriedly thanked him and walked out.
After the man left, Xiang Shao showed a ruthless look, "Dispose of Dong's subordinates, I don't trust them." In addition, let Xia go and bring winter back. ”
A man walked out of the shadows, turned into a breeze and disappeared. At the gate of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, the middle-aged man who had just walked out suddenly felt that the sunlight was extremely dazzling, and even burned his body, he wanted to retreat to the Chamber of Commerce, but his body had melted, like snow in the sun, and finally disappeared completely.
The guards at the gate were very calm, as if they had seen this situation a long time ago. But passers-by have fled in all directions in fright, and some children who have followed their parents have been pushed down and seriously injured.
When the panic subsided, the parents hurriedly took their children to the pharmacy. In the Star Luo Kingdom, children are not allowed to practice any martial arts until they are six years old, so even if they are injured, they will not be able to recover as quickly as adults, and serious injuries can still lead to death.
After a long time, at the door of the pharmacy, a couple was crying there, the pills they bought in the pharmacy were not good at all, this was also a matter of no choice, the level of the pills in the Star Luo Kingdom was average, and the pills used to treat injuries were not valued by the alchemists. The pill used to enhance strength is the mainstream of alchemy.
At this moment, a sturdy young man in animal skin clothes passed by, he glanced at the couple, and then at the four or five-year-old girl in their arms, and after inquiry, he knew the reason, so he sighed: "This is also a helpless thing, there is no market for the elixir to cure the injury." But I have a pill here, I can try it for you!" he said, taking out a pill.
The couple hurriedly took the pill and gave it to their daughter.
As soon as the pill entered the abdomen, the little girl's body injuries quickly recovered, and her face improved rapidly. Those smart eyes finally opened, and just as they wanted to speak, they spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the couple saw this, they were even more flustered and didn't know what to do. And the sturdy boy had already slapped the little girl in the abdomen, forcing the pill out.
He looked at the elixir that had barely changed, and showed a look of shame, "I'm sorry, I forgot that this little pill is a pill used by the strong, and for children, the medicine is too powerful." ”
The little girl recovered, and she got up and bowed to the sturdy boy, "Thank you, big brother, for saving your life." ”
The sturdy young man laughed and handed over the elixir, "This healing elixir is useless to me, so I'll give it to you, and if you get injured in the future, just keep it in your mouth for a while." If it's expired, throw it away. As he spoke, he turned around, "If you want to thank me, you can go to the front fort to cheer me on at Qingfeng Restaurant." The voice fell, and the figure was gone.
It's a pity that after he left, the pill in the little girl's hand was snatched away.
Inside that pharmacy, a group of people were experimenting with the effect of snatching the pill, and after testing it more than a dozen times, the first person said, "The recovery effect is indeed very good, but it is just a chicken-like pill." The gap between the two sides of the battle is not large, and it is much more useful to take an elixir that enhances combat effectiveness than to restore the elixir; if there is a big gap between the two sides of the battle, where will there be time to take the elixir. It's better to use the time to crack this elixir to research a new medicine that enhances combat effectiveness. ”
After he finished speaking, he casually threw the elixir into a glass bottle, and the label on the glass bottle said two pictographs "decomposition", which was a potion that decomposed the ingredients of the elixir. The mouth says it won't crack, but the body is honest. But at this moment, the elixir rolled rapidly, and with a bang, the glass bottle exploded, and the elixir disappeared.
"It turns out that there are anti-cracking means. Alright, let's go and get busy with something else!" the leader didn't have any expression, as if he hadn't done the operation just now. A group of people tacitly dispersed.
Returning to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, Xiang Shao looked at the young man in front of him and stood up directly, "What are you talking about?"
The young man lowered his head, not daring to look into Xiang Shao's eyes, "Yes, now the residents of that area have been evacuated, and the construction team has begun to break ground." ”
"So fast?" Xiang Shao looked at the young man angrily, "What are you doing to eat, and you only found out now." ”
The young man lowered his head, "There was no sign before today, but this morning, the forced evacuation of the army, coupled with the generous compensation provided by the City Lord's Mansion, is why it ...... so quickly"
Xiang Shao shouted directly, "Go and call everyone back, we don't have the energy to rectify the front fort, and now Water and Fire City is our biggest enemy." Inform everyone, the old way. "Although he said this, Xiang Shao didn't have much confidence, the people who competed with him before were only some small forces, and now he is facing Water and Fire City, although Water and Fire City is not a clan city, but it is slightly stronger than the family behind him.
Time passed, and the appointed day arrived, the day of the duel between Xiang Shao and Xingchen.
Xiang Shao, born in the big family of Xingluo Kingdom, although he is not one of the eighteen clans. However, Xiang Shao's mother came from the Eighteen Clans, and with Xiang Shao himself controlling the economy of Luo Sha City, he was famous among the more than ten cities near the Demon Ice Flame Mountain Range.
Xingchen, that is, Lord Luo in the mouth of everyone, has an unknown background, unknown information, and unknown strength, and is said to be the brother of the lord of Luosha City, after coming to Luosha City, he directly offended Xiang Shao, and then quickly took control of a town called Qiantoubao in Luosha City at a very small price. It is even more to take Xiang Shao, one of the four masters, Dong, into his command.
The venue of the duel was set up in the mountains hundreds of miles away from Rakshasha, and all the onlookers were concentrated on the highest mountain nearby. Xiang Shao came here first, and he even sent people to build a viewing platform on the top of the mountain for everyone to watch. Everyone who came greeted Xiang Shao politely.
Looking at this posture, it seems that it was Xiang Shao who won in the end.
Near noon, a huge beast flew from a distance, its whole body was pitch black, it was the Black Tiger King, at this time there were two people standing above the head of the black tiger, and stood there steadily.
When a red-skinned young man in the crowd saw one of them, he was secretly surprised, and whispered to his companion, "Xing, why is he? "This red-skinned young man is none other than Yan, the son of the City Lord of Fire and Water.
And the person beside him was none other than Xing, the third son of the lord of Luosha City. There was a look of surprise on his face, "Of course it's him, he's my uncle." When I first met him, I felt that he was very affectionate. ”
Yan was speechless for a moment, in his memory, it was not like that. The two of them saw that Luo for the first time, but they regarded Luo as an enemy and attacked together. So he could only divert the topic, "Xing, have you seen it, someone has opened a gambling plate, win or lose the bet, do you want to try it together?"
Xing nodded, "Of course, I'm very optimistic about Uncle Luo." ”
Yan Ze laughed, "It's just right, I came to Luosha City to develop business, and I will definitely have to confront Xiang Shao." Since you are optimistic, I will also buy your uncle to win. ”
The two walked over and found that the square wooden table was divided into two parts, with a Hunan character written on the left side and a Luo character written on the right. But the delicate cloth bag on the left is much more than the one on the right, and I only know that the odds of Xiang Shao are one to one, and Luo's odds are one to three. Judging from the gambling odds, most people think that Xiang Shao has a big chance of winning.
When Yan came here, he directly took out a small treasure chest and put it on the right, "I'll buy Lord Luo to win." 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. ”
The person who set up the gambling game immediately recorded, "Water and Fire City, Yan Gongzi won by buying Lord Luo, and the capital was 10,000 high-grade spirit stones." ”
Seeing this, Xing couldn't help but be stunned, "Why did you buy so much?"
Yan saw that Xing's expression was wrong, "Why, isn't it that you are optimistic about your Uncle Luo?" I believe in you, so I bought so much." ”
Xing looked guilty, "Yan, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he placed a delicate cloth bag on the left, "Xiang Shao, a thousand high-grade spirit stones." ”
Yan's eyes were big and small, his face was even more ruddy, and he stared at Xing with anger in his eyes.
Xing couldn't face Xing, his eyes turned straight, and when he saw Jane, he immediately shouted, "Second sister, second sister." "Leave while shouting.
The people around him are all young people, so they naturally know the two of them, and they also know Xing's identity and the relationship between Xing and Lord Luo. They bet on buying Xiang Shao to win, after all, the nephew thinks that the uncle can't win, that is, he really can't win.
When placing bets, they looked at Yan with either pity or sneer.
On the other side, Xing and Jane meet. Jane was the first to speak, "Third brother, you're finally back, and you miss my sister." As he spoke, he directly hugged Xing into his arms.
Xing could only struggle as hard as he could, but he suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, Jane's arm didn't move at all, so he had to lie, "Second sister, let go, my ribs are about to break." ”
Jane let go at this time, and at the same time sneered, "How can it be broken, it's obviously afraid of people's jokes, I'm not afraid." But it's not your fault, I'm already a saint-level powerhouse now, and you can't break free like before. ”
Xing only then noticed that there was indeed a faint sense of oppression on his second sister Jane, which was a sign unique to a saint-level powerhouse, "Second sister, you have actually advanced." The eldest brother in the previous period was too, and suddenly promoted, and now you too. How did you do that?" I don't know why he suddenly had a sense of urgency, this feeling was like an ordinary child's heart, he didn't want to get married, of course, because his brother and sister were not married, he had no fear, and he went out to travel for two days, and when he came back, he learned that his older brother and sister were engaged and would get married immediately, resulting in an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if the pressure of the whole family was concentrated on him.
Jane laughed, "I don't know why I made the cut, it's just that ......" stopped abruptly as she said as if she had thought of something.
Xing was puzzled, "It's just what?" Second sister, what do you mean?"
Jane just said, "Uncle Luo won't let me talk nonsense, I'll tell you like this." I followed Uncle Luo for a while before I was successfully promoted. ”
Xing continued to ask, "What about the eldest brother?"
Jane continued to transmit her voice, "Speaking of this, I haven't always understood, Uncle Luo just demonstrated a move, and the eldest brother suddenly had an understanding and was directly promoted." ”
When Xing heard these words, he thought for a while, "Second sister, what do you mean, Uncle Luo is very powerful." ”
Jane thought for a moment, "It's powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is, and I still can't feel the aura of a strong man from Uncle Luo." ”
Xing was suddenly stunned, and looked at the square wooden table after a while, "That's the case." Second sister, you beat me up and scolded me for not being merciful and disrespecting my elders. ”
Jane was not surprised, let alone questioned, but showed excitement, "Third brother, in fact, I wanted to beat you for a long time, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have left me." ”
Looking at the excited Jane, Xing suddenly felt bad and was about to run away.
