There was chaos in Huangshaji.
Chi Li and other people in the temple flew out and headed straight for the direction where Yue Hongling's voice came from.
A Ferghana horse that was far superior to the inferior horse she had ridden before was galloping away in the morning sun. In the blink of an eye, it was only a tiny dot in the distance. Yue Hongling's sneering voice was carried in the wind: "Chi Li, I thought you were a warrior. You agreed to fight, and so many people rushed out. Are you still a warrior?"
Chi Li looked stern, pretending he didn't hear anything, and waved his hand, "Chase!"
He has the heart of a warrior, and given a different situation, he would gladly fight Yue Hongling to a hearty showdown.
However, being born in a temple, he was more concerned about finding this secret place that people had been searching for for many years, seeking the guidance of the ancient Changshengtian.
In the face of this, personal pursuit of martial arts is secondary.
At this moment, Yue Hongling was holding important clues to this secret realm, so how could she let it go
"Where the hell did she get this Ferghana horse!" The subordinates around him chased after him breathlessly: "Does the secret realm still produce horses?"
But Yue Hongling turned around, bent his bow, and shot an arrow. A subordinate of the temple fell off his horse in response: "Chi Li, if you have the ability, chase them yourself, don't let these people come to die!"
Chi Li took a deep breath, suddenly jumped off the horse and flew away.
He is much faster than a horse...
Yue Hongling turned his head to take a look, smiled slightly, and galloped away on his horse.
Judging from this terrifying speed, Chi Li might have also glimpsed the secret treasure... He is indeed the one with the most potential in the grassland, and was once the number one potential dragon.
Moreover, with the great shaman's personal teaching, his strength improved rapidly. At least his experience in secret treasures was far better than that of someone like himself who was hesitant and alone. Fortunately, there was Zhao Changhe, and now he was not behind and was still on the same level as Chi Li.
She was full of fighting spirit, but unfortunately she was not here to fight, but to distract the people in the temple so that her lover could do his work. Although she didn't know what Zhao Changhe was going to do, she couldn't let such a powerful person from the secret place interfere with Zhao Changhe. The farther he was, the better.
Yue Hongling found that he was almost used to the cooperation between the two of them. Whether it was exploring the secret realm, opening the formation, or stabbing Batu, beheading the messenger, these were things that could not be done by one person. Including this moment, he led the enemy out of the country and went deep into the market.
Looking back, I almost forgot what I was doing alone at the time.
Yue Hongling suddenly liked the feeling of facing the enemy alone at this moment. Maybe she was still a lonely person in her heart. She longed for his hand in hers, but also liked to go alone.
It is very likely that the same is true for Zhao Changhe.
The two of them can often see another version of themselves in each other.
… …
Amid the chaos of Huangshaji, Zhao Changhe once again turned pale and entered the "Youjian Inn".
The disguise mud has also been used up. This is probably the last time I can disguise myself. I need to find some medicine to prepare. Or... I can ask Sisi to get another batch of it next time
As the thought flashed through his mind, Sanniang came into view, sitting on the counter in the tavern with her little feet up, looking at the account book.
Apart from her, the tavern was empty.
Not to mention the taverns, even the bustling loading and unloading of goods outside the market, which was as busy as a dock or port, is now nowhere to be seen and is completely deserted.
The War Lion Tribe was at war, the attack on Yanmen Pass was getting more urgent, people from the temple were everywhere, the lake was designated as a restricted area, and it was obvious that a storm was about to come. Merchants who were a little sensitive had no intention of staying and had left in a hurry. Naturally, there would be no drinkers who would continue to make noise here and covet Sanniang's charm with lustful eyes.
Sanniang knew someone was coming in, but she didn't even raise her head. She looked at the account book and sighed, "Fight, fight, what kind of war is this? It's making me cry..."
As she spoke, she actually sniffed and kicked her feet angrily: "A bunch of idiots!"
Zhao Changhe had a blank expression on his face: "Why is this old woman pretending to be a young girl?"
Sanniang: “?”
Zhao Changhe also sat on the counter casually, sitting side by side with her, and said lazily: "I have a big deal here, do you want to do it?"
Sanniang glanced at him from head to toe and sneered, "Are you going to buy me?"
"I've already told you, old woman, can't you just count?"
Sanniang gnashed her teeth and said, "I know your business. You want me to pay for it, not give it to me! Tell me, how much are you willing to sell the secret of the entrance to the secret vault for?"
As she spoke, the doors and windows automatically closed without any wind, and not even a fly could get in. Zhao Changhe saw the ill intentions behind Sanniang's usual mask.
Because she didn't have to pay and could just catch him and torture him.
To be honest, Sanniang didn't even think that Zhao Changhe would dare to come to the tavern alone. Did he really think that Sanniang only knew how to sell wine and flirt
Facing Sanniang's malicious gaze, Zhao Changhe pretended not to notice it. He took out a bottle of wine from behind the counter, opened the bottle and took a big gulp: "Jiangnan Osmanthus Wine is still the best."
Sanniang smiled charmingly: "You can drink as much as you want, and drink for the rest of your life."
"There's no point in arresting and interrogating me. Even if you have the answer, you can't get around Wubalu and Chili, and you'll be doing the wrong thing for the Hu people. All you can do is report to Master Wu and ask him to come in person. But once Master Wu comes, your personal demands will be gone... You'd better cooperate with me."
Sanniang's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said with a smile: "What can I pursue personally? I just love money..."
"Really?" Zhao Changhe didn't comment, but just said: "Then you report to Master Wu first. I will give him the secret realm, and he will help me do something, and the deal will be done. I don't want your money, and I don't want your people either."
"Would you mind telling me what you want me to do first?"
"When Timur uses his strength on the Heavenly Ranking to bully others, Fifth Master can just contain him. I believe Fifth Master is not afraid of Timur."
"No wonder you said it conflicts with my personal demands... He is not afraid of Timur, but in this case, can I still do business on the grassland?" Sanniang smiled charmingly and said, "Why don't you tell me the secret book, and I can agree to anything..."
Zhao Changhe jumped three feet sideways and jumped directly from her side to the edge of the counter.
Sanniang laughed: "Look how scared you are, it's not that serious..."
Zhao Changhe said, "You should know that if you support another force, you can still do business and do it better. This is not your goal at all... In other words, you are not helping Master Wu at all."
Sanniang's expression gradually turned cold.
Zhao Changhe jumped off the counter and walked to the window to look out: "I asked Batu... Huangsha Lake had a special name a long time ago. It seemed to be called Xuan..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand had already reached his throat.
But when he reached out to it, he felt a gem that glowed softly.
Sanniang quickly retracted her force, and the action of pinching his neck seemed to turn into a gentle touch on his neck. When she withdrew her hand, the gem was already in her palm.
Sanniang's eyes became brighter than gems.
"Maybe this can't be considered yours, but I don't know why, from me to Hong Ling, I always have a feeling that it should belong to you. Maybe I feel that you have put your whole life's efforts into it, and I can't let you down; or maybe I feel that if I really cut off your Hu, I will fight you to the death. I like Chi Chi and Sister Yihuoshe, and I don't want to be your enemy."
As Sanniang listened, she looked a little surprised at first, but when she heard the last sentence "I like Winged Fire Snake", she suddenly became very strange and smiled.
Zhao Changhe turned around and smiled brightly: "There are some other things in the secret realm, first come first served, it is impossible to give them all to you, but this gem should be the core thing you need most, I will give it to you for free, I don't want anything else. I don't want your money, let alone your body. So what else do you need to torture me for?"
Sanniang smiled charmingly and said, "Do you want Sister Winged Fire Snake?"
"Yes. Can you help me pick her up?"
"Hee..." Sanniang laughed out loud while holding the gemstone, and then laughed loudly, holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back: "Yes, I will help you."
Zhao Changhe was somewhat annoyed by the laughter and said calmly: "What you want is this, not the secret realm itself, while Ying Wu is the opposite, he wants the lost space. There is no conflict of demands between you two anymore, can you now convey my deal to Master Wu?"
"Sure." Sanniang ran to the back of the house, and soon a carrier pigeon flew up.
"Master Wu is not far away, and we will receive the news soon. I can conclude that the deal will be done." Sanniang looked at him with sparkling eyes: "You are giving me the gem, do you really not need me to do anything in exchange? Anything is fine."
"Instead of asking you to do something, let's do something together that you've always wanted to do and that you've been trying to trick others into doing."
"Um?"
"Kill Ubaru. I know you didn't do it yourself because you were afraid that the book of chaos would say something wrong, but this time, you are responsible for killing people, and I will be on the list for you."
Sanniang smiled with her eyes curved: "The little man's plan has spread all over Jiangnan."
"Just tell me whether you will do it or not."
"Do."
If someone heard the last two sentences, they might think that a welcome deal was reached.
