Although they said they were going to Jianhu Lake, the two of them left the city very slowly.
The two little pigs were walking leisurely on the main street of the city, looking curiously at the stalls and the dazzling array of shops on both sides. Although they were well-informed, they felt very novel at this moment.
Zhao Changhe had never been shopping properly in this life, whether in Qinghe or Suyang. When he was in Gusu, he chose to go shopping or go boating.
And Suzaku had no idea how many years it had been since he went out shopping like a little girl... Once he put on the Suzaku mask, he was filled with murderous aura, and the whole street became silent. What a waste of time it was for him to go shopping.
Not to mention the real identity, it’s even harder to go shopping.
And now... people's eyes fell on his face, and there was no more fear, but instead a smile full of kindness.
This feeling is very strange... a little relaxed and comfortable, but also a little ashamed. I am already a grown-up and still wear a pig, and it seems that people misunderstand that I am a pair with the pig next to me. The auntie smile makes people feel awkward.
Then I thought, since I’m wearing a mask, no one will know who I am, so why should I be ashamed
So all that was left was relaxation and novelty.
Jianhu City is quite prosperous. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, it has its own characteristics. For example, the style of pancakes sold there seems to be nothing seen in the capital. They are as thick as buns and smell a bit fragrant.
"Hey." Zhuque nudged Zhao Changhe with his elbow: "We didn't have breakfast. We have been on the road since early morning, and now it's almost noon. I tell you, skipping breakfast is not good for martial arts..."
"Do you want to eat those pancakes?"
"No, I'm warning you..."
Zhao Changhe had already rushed to the pancake stand: "Two, please."
Zhuque came to my side leisurely: "I didn't say I wanted to eat this, you chose it."
"Then just one?"
Before he could finish his words, his hands were empty and the pancake he had in his hands was suddenly snatched away.
Turning around, a pig head grumbled, "Why do you eat me when I don't? Confiscate it."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
The bottom of the pig's head was lifted up a little bit, but he didn't mind being too hot and took a bite of the pancake, then quickly covered it again.
Zhao Changhe shook his head and smiled, turned around and threw a piece of silver, then took a piece of cake and ate it as he walked.
Zhuque said casually, "I heard people say that you had no money after leaving the South. Now I see you staying in a hotel and buying things. It seems like you have endless money. Where did you get this money?"
Zhao Changhe was surprised: "How come you are so well-informed? I only complained to Xuan Chong when I had no money."
"That's the Cao Gang's boat, and some of the people on board are ours."
“…Okay. You guys really collected all my information in great detail.”
"It's not clear enough. For example, I don't know where your money comes from now. Did Cui Yuanyang give you money again?"
"It was given by your Saint."
"..." Zhuque suddenly felt that the cake in his hand was not fragrant anymore.
Little bitch, you are using the Holy Church’s money to support a man, right
"It was just a joke, hahaha." Zhao Changhe laughed, "What I lost was the banknotes, not the small change. I had it all along, but there really isn't much left. I have to find a way to get the money."
"If you make such a joke again, I'll beat you up."
"Yesterday he was calling me good brother, but today he's calling for war and killing. Oh, by the way, how does your Holy Church make money? Do you collect offerings from believers?"
"We have our own businesses, and many of them are not shady businesses, but are aboveboard. It's just that no one knows that the person in charge is one of ours." Zhuque nibbled on the cake leisurely, "The strength of the Holy Church cannot be learned by asking indirectly. You can't imagine the power behind the scenes... How about joining the church? We'll give you a good position, and you'll have a good life in the future. Martial arts are not a problem. We can mobilize all our members to help you find any meridian problems. It's much more comfortable to have a good sect behind you than to fight alone."
"Just give me the delay."
"No need to talk. We are not the Maitreya sect, and we don't use beauty to seduce people." Zhuque said contemptuously: "You don't have to look at me, I know what's going on in your mind. The Venerable asked me to follow you to understand you, not to send me to you, so forget that idea, it's disgusting."
Zhao Changhe really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't say anything, you just made up a bunch of things on your own. You thought so yourself, right?" "I just knew you would think so!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Changhe had no way to refute, he really had this misunderstanding, otherwise why would Zhuque ask you to come? It's obvious that he was sending you here.
That's why there was teasing before.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. The Four Symbols Sect does not seduce people with women. Although they are called a demon sect, they are actually very proud of it.
That's a good thing. At least I don't have to worry about being sent to do this kind of mission. This Winged Fire Snake lady is also very nice. She can't be sent just to seduce men.
Having said that, you have already teased me, you won’t pretend to be a gentleman now and ask people not to call you good brother, right
Zhao Changhe was too lazy to dwell on this, and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious to persuade me whether to join the sect or not? Your venerable is still studying the situation of my astrological sign. What if it is not suitable at all?"
Zhuque thought to himself that I want to recruit you now not for the sake of the stars... Never mind, there is no way to say this, so he could only say: "Then you go out on your own and what do you do if you have no money? Go rob?"
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly blocked his way and said, "You two little pigs are quite rich. You even use small change to buy a pancake. Take out whatever you have left."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Suzaku: “…”
Seeing the two pig-headed people looking confused, they almost died of laughter even though the other party was clearly here to rob them: "Young men and women come to Jianhu City to talk about love, have your elders never told you that Jianhu City is a mess?"
The two pig-heads seemed to have just realized what had happened, and they were filled with incredible emotions.
We were actually robbed by the city’s gangs... Oh yes, I’ve heard that Jianhu City is a mixed bag and very chaotic, but I’ve never experienced it before. I didn’t expect that my first experience would be here.
Although he is wearing a pig head mask, the dragon bird on Zhao Changhe's back is still there. Could it be that because people dress like this too often, it has lost its deterrent effect
Zhao Changhe felt that the young lady next to him became silent. The cheerful mood that he could feel even through the mask suddenly became stern and the murderous intent in her eyes could almost freeze a person's soul.
This is the young lady from Xuanguan Jiuchong!
Zhao Changhe pulled her speechlessly and stepped sideways to stand between her and the robber.
"Oh? I really thought you were Zhao Changhe with that broadsword on your back." The other party burst into laughter: "You're actually playing the hero saving the damsel in front of so many of us, hahahaha..."
The laughter was cut off in the throat.
The burly man with a broadsword on his back suddenly moved, with a graceful posture that should never belong to him, and instantly appeared in front of the leader and grabbed his neck with one hand.
The man tried to defend himself, but he only managed to block the shadow of his hand. His neck felt tight, and he was lifted up. "You're just in time. Hand over your money. I haven't done this job for a long time. You're here just for me to reminisce."
Suzaku's murderous aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he burst out laughing.
This stuff is really fun.
Now more and more people regard Zhao Changhe as a righteous knight, but they forget his roots. He is really a bandit who comes from a remote mountain village and can rob people on the spot without blinking an eye.
The man's face turned purple from being pinched, and he couldn't even speak. A group of his younger brothers drew their swords and surrounded Zhao Changhe, shouting nervously, "Where did this dragon come from? We are from Master Sha Qi of Kangle Casino. Think carefully!"
"Never heard of it." Zhao Changhe stretched out his left hand and lifted up the person who was speaking again, as if the sword in his hand did not exist.
Then the two people who were holding each other's hands collided with each other with a "bang" and fainted on the ground together.
Zhao Changhe rubbed his fists and continued walking towards the other gang members.
People saw a pig demon wreaking havoc, and they all shouted, "Your Excellency, please think carefully. Even Han Wubing was forced to flee here. Who do you think you are? How dare you run wild in Jianhu City?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Interesting... I didn't expect that this was just a common case of bullying by a local thug, but it actually involved Han Wubing!
Han Wubing has already left... and he's actually running for his life!
I thought this place was nothing special except for the ice soul at the bottom of the Ancient Sword Lake. How could I have thought of experiencing the chaos of this mixed crowd of people in Jianhu City? I left in a hurry after finishing my business. Now that I am back, I have unexpectedly touched something quite amazing.
