Chapter Twenty-Four: Clever Plan (Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
The main peak of Kunlun is ten thousand feet high, encircling hundreds of miles, majestic and precipitous. From the halfway point of the mountain, there is ice and snow that will never melt.
The year-round cold wind on the mountain peak, which contained the bitter Nine Heavens Ice Evil Qi, did the greatest damage to the cultivator's soul. Even if it is a yang god, after a long time, it will blow away the soul of the ice evil. The warrior has a solid body and has a stronger resistance to the ice evil qi. Even so, it is not something that ordinary fifth- and sixth-order martial artists can resist.
The main peak of Kunlun is located at the junction of the three kingdoms, and the border of the Great Han Kingdom is located on the southern slope of the main peak of Kunlun, which is the best location. The cold wind is blocked by the main peak of Kunlun, and the sun is shining all year round, and the climate is warm and suitable.
The imperial court established a Kunlun Mansion at the foot of the mountain, which was originally a garrison of the imperial court. But there has been no major war in a thousand years, and because of its unique geographical environment, Kunlun Mansion has become a big market for merchants from the other three countries to communicate with each other.
Over the years, Kunlun Mansion has continued to expand, from the original military fortress to a Xiongcheng that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
In the lively streets, almost everyone wears a thick robe with a brimmed hat or hood. Because of the Kunlun Cave Heaven, the Nine Heavens Gang Qi above the Kunlun Mansion is very chaotic, and the sunlight is particularly vicious. If it gets on the skin, it won't take a day to burst a layer of skin. If it is sunburned for a long time, people will die violently. And once there is no sun, it is very cold here in the morning and evening. So everyone wears thick robes and brimmed hats to protect themselves from the sun, but also against the cold in the morning and evening.
Gao Huan and Yuan Zhen also followed the customs, wearing a gray robe with a big hood outside, and strolling along the lively long street.
Taiyi is thousands of miles away from Kunlun Mountain, but with Yuan Zhen with him, it only took one day to cross thousands of miles. In fact, unless necessary, Heaven Rank powerhouses generally do not fly in Imperial Qi. Because flying consumes a huge amount of energy. Even if it is a yang god, it is difficult to withstand such consumption.
Yuan Zhen cultivation is pure, and Da Luo Tianlun is one of the few spiritual weapons in the world. In addition, Gao Huan himself can fly with air. The two of them also rested twice along the way, and when they arrived at Kunlun Mansion, it was late afternoon, and it was also the busiest time of the day in Kunlun Mansion.
Most of the buildings in Kunlun Mansion are made of huge stones, heavy, strong, rough, with simple lines, very small windows, and very high chimneys. It is very different from the style of the atmospheric, exquisite and gorgeous architecture of the Han Kingdom.
Almost all of the people here carry swords and swords, leading horses, camels and other mounts. Moreover, even if these people are full of smiles, they can't hide their fierce spirit.
Although Kunlun Mansion is the territory of the Han Kingdom, it has been blending with other two countries for many years, and it is full of exotic customs.
"Although these people are wearing robes and hoods, it is easy to tell who they are. Wearing a greasy leather robe and covered with sheep, it is the people of the Yuan Kingdom. Those who are dressed a little neater and cleaner, and whose leather robes have many copper and iron rings, are from the Xia Kingdom. The people of the Yuan Kingdom are more fierce and fierce, and their surnames are more simple and upright. The people of Xia are much more insidious and cunning. Both countries are addicted to alcohol and lack food to make wine. The big wine merchants of the Han Kingdom have made a fortune here. ”
Ten years later, when he returned here again, Yuan Zhen was quite emotional. Looking around, Gao Huan rarely explained the situation in Kunlun Mansion.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, this is a border place in the end, and it cannot be compared with the prosperity of the Central Plains. In the past two years, Gao Huan has traveled west to Hailong City and Tianjing City in the middle, and has also seen the scenery and people in the north and south of the river along the way. Although the ruggedness of Kunlun Mansion is novel, it is not rough in the end, and there is nothing to boast about.
"What do you look at, boy!" roared a bald man, glaring. His pronunciation of Han Mandarin is very inaccurate, and it sounds strange. Judging from his clothing, he is a native of the Great Yuan Kingdom.
Gao Huan actually just glanced at him unintentionally, in a group of people, he didn't wear a hat, and he had an open chest and open back, of course, it was eye-catching. Gao Huan smiled, since he was named the True Monarch, even if he was an enemy, no one would call him a kid so lightly. This word sounds a little strange and a little new.
In terms of age, Gao Huan, who is only twenty-one years old, is not wrong to call him a brat. However, this big man's eyes are full of fierce light, and his tone is extremely arrogant, which Gao Huan doesn't like.
Gao Huan didn't want to pay attention to this person, and now that he was talking, he didn't need to step on these ants to prove himself. If you are called a brat, you won't be able to do it.
Seeing that Gao Huan didn't speak, the big man thought that Gao Huan was scared and wanted to continue to provoke trouble, but he was swept away by Gao Huan's deep eyes, his heart sank, his body was cold, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.
When Gao Huan and Yuan Zhen walked far away, Dahan realized that his crotch was already hot and humid. was pierced into the soul by Gao Huan's eyes, and the big man was scared in an instant. The big man's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to walk away quickly with the horse's head in mind. "That guy is simply a demon from hell, and he said that the Buddha is above, bless peace. ”
Back in the courtyard where he lived, Dahan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The man just now was definitely the most terrifying person he had ever seen in his life. There were seven or eight big men sitting in the courtyard, eating meat and drinking, and when they saw the big men coming back, the men led by them drank: "Hu Gang, where is the wine you bought?"
The big man Hu Gang wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said with some fear: "It's terrible to meet a Han person just now." I accidentally provoked him, and I ran back in a hurry. ”
"What, who dares to play tricks on us and kill him!"
"Useless bastard, why don't you kill him with a knife?"
"Let's go, we'll avenge you. ”
A few men with red eyes who drank and drank stopped when they heard it. They are used to rampant in the country, and they have nothing to do, and after drinking, no one is afraid.
Hu Gang thought of the terrifying look in his eyes just now, and said that he didn't dare to go back. hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, that person is definitely the most terrifying master I have ever seen in my life." For the sake of a trivial matter, you can't make a grudge with such a master. ”
The leader slammed the table, the dishes shook wildly, and the shouting crowd suddenly fell silent. "The county lord asked us to inquire about the situation of the masters of all parties. Since you have met it, you can carefully tell me what that person looks like, maybe it is the person the county lord is looking for. ”
Hu Gang thought about it for a while, and didn't remember Gao Huan's appearance at all, only the terrifying eyes like an abyss. The man at the head was also a little strange, Hu Gang had always been tough, and he was actually frightened when he looked cowering. It seems that the man is really a master.
The man at the head led Hu Gang out of the courtyard and into the adjacent courtyard. The courtyard is larger, with more rooms and more elaborate furnishings. Past the front yard, the backyard is a tall tent. The tent made of white fur is as white as snow in the sun, without a trace of filth.
At the main entrance of the tent, a curtain made of pearls is hung, and you can faintly see that it is inlaid with gold and silver, which is rich and gorgeous.
The man at the head knelt down and kowtowed from a distance, "Subordinate Tuqiang, see the county lord." Tu Qiang bowed his head to the ground, and his demeanor was extremely respectful. The county lord of Qinghe in front of him is the beloved daughter of the king of Bei'an. In the Yuan country, the power is monstrous, and it has always been known for its decisiveness. If you make a mistake under her, it will almost be a mortal death.
A female voice came from inside the curtain, "What's the matter?"
Tu Qiang knew that this was just the maid of the lord of Qinghe County, but he didn't dare to ignore it. respectfully told Hu what he had just encountered. "The subordinates remember that the county lord had instructed them to listen to the news of the masters from all walks of life. ”
There was silence for a while, and then a clear female voice said: "One look is going to scare people to death, interesting." Do you remember what he looked like?"
Hu Gang said carefully: "The two of them are wearing Han robes, which are very clean and tidy, without a trace of dust. I remember their faces were all white. He had no weapons on him, no mounts. I don't remember anything else. ”
The pearl curtain was lifted, and a beautiful maid walked out of it. The maid walked up to Hu Gang, opened a picture scroll and said, "Take a closer look, is there that person in here?"
There are seven people depicted on the scroll, with different descriptions. Hu Gang looked at it seriously for a while, and pointed to the first person with some hesitation: "It seems to be him." The subordinates are incompetent and dare not confirm it. ”
The maid took the scroll back to the tent, and the lord of Qinghe was lying on the brocade, holding a snow-white kitten in his arms, and his beautiful face was lazy, and he didn't seem to be interested in everything that happened.
"County Lord, the guard said that it was very similar to Gao Huan. The maid said.
The squinting eyes of the county lord of Qinghe suddenly opened, "It's him, the convoy of the Han Kingdom hasn't arrived yet, he came first." It's good to come. Take advantage of his weak strength and take the opportunity to get rid of him. Speaking of this, the county lord of Qinghe showed excitement. Got up from the brocade and walked around barefoot on the thick carpet, "Yes, pay a few groups of people to kill him, if you can kill him, then my brother will have one less enemy." ”
The maid reminded: "County Lord, Gao Huan is a master above the seventh order. What's more, there should be another master by his side, probably Yuan Zhen. It's not a force we can touch. ”
The county lord of Qinghe glanced at the maid with disdain, "What do you know." Don't Heavenly Rank masters need to eat and drink? As long as they know where they live, I'm afraid they won't have a chance. What's more, we only need to spend money to hire some people who are not afraid of death, and even if we fail, we can still find us. Even if he finds us, how dare he treat me?"
The maid shook her head slightly, this Qinghe county lord has always been arrogant, but he has never suffered a loss, but he is more and more unafraid. She knew that characters like Gao Huan would never be easy to deal with. As for saying that Gao Huan didn't dare to treat them, it was even more ridiculous.
"There are a few masters in Xia Guo Yipintang here, and there are also Kutoutuo of Feilong Temple, why don't you inform them, presumably they will also be very interested in Gao Huan......" The maid said.
The county lord of Qinghe stopped and said happily: "Brilliant plan! However, we can't be idle......"
