Chapter 261 Chen Jie: Oh, you look surprised.
Wu Mu’s suicide note!
Chen Jie looked at the letter in his hand and felt quite emotional. He didn't expect that there would be news about Wu Mu's posthumous letter. This was news that was enough to shock the world.
And the most important thing is that the location marked on the letter Zhao Ya sent to herself is quite nearby, which is Chongshan Prefecture in Hunan.
This is the address that the court obtained the intelligence, and many people have already gone to Chongshan Prefecture.
So Zhao Ya agreed with him to meet at Chongshan Mansion three days later.
Chen Jie looked at the letter and found his elder brother Ni Wenjun. Chen Jie did not think that they were the only ones fighting for Wu Mu's letter. He was afraid that there were many people who were ready to seize the book this time.
And there must be a lot of masters there. If I go there, I'm afraid I won't be able to match them. After all, I'm only at the Wolf Smoke Realm.
There are probably countless masters who are more powerful than me, so I should find more helpers. Ni Wenjun is obviously a good choice.
Chen Jie even felt that it would be safer if Peng Yingyu went there in person. After all, only an action of this level could deter the villains and obtain this rare book.
However, when Chen Jie found Ni Wenjun, he discovered that Ni Wenjun was also preparing to send someone to find him, and told Chen Jiusi that he had to return to Xiangyang immediately. King Qi Li Siqi led a large army south, and Monk Peng brought his men to guard against Li Siqi's sneak attack on them.
So this time he might not be able to go south to Chongshan Prefecture with Chen Jie to seize the Ming King's heirloom, Wu Mu's posthumous letter.
When Chen Jie learned about the situation, he frowned slightly and thought to himself that it seemed that he was right not to directly join the Maitreya Sect. Otherwise, at this time, what identity should he use to go to Chongshan Mansion and seize the Wu Mu's posthumous letter.
Wouldn't I miss this opportunity?
Thinking of this, Chen Jie said to Ni Wenjun: "Then go ahead without worry, big brother. I will go alone this time."
Ni Wenjun said: "Then be careful, brother. Mulan is a thief and may not be trustworthy."
Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I understand. Take care, big brother."
Ni Wenjun said: "Take care of yourself too."
Chen Jie left Qianjiang Prefecture that day and returned to Huangzhou Prefecture first. Three days was enough time. This time, Chen Jie only planned to take Xiaohu and Yu Chun to Chongshan Prefecture. As for the others, they didn't need to go and could just stay in Huangzhou Prefecture.
Huangzhou Prefecture is not far from Chongshan Prefecture in Hunan. With Xiaohu and Yuchun's speed, they can get there in one day and one night. So there is plenty of time. Chen Jie plans to stay with his two wives in Huangzhou Prefecture for one night and then go to Chongshan Prefecture tomorrow.
Before leaving, Chen Jie told Xiaohu and Yu Chun about the trip so that they could be prepared. He also gave Yu Chun a Hualing Pill that he had refined in Qianjiang Prefecture, allowing him to enter the Huajin state.
This time, Chongshan Mansion is definitely a dangerous place. Even though Yu Chun is just a handyman, he still needs armed protection.
In addition, Chen Jie checked Xiaohu's strength. Xiaohu's strength has improved rapidly recently. Since Chen Jie gave him "Inugami Record", Xiaohu's martial arts have also been systematically improved.
As for whether Xiaohu's study of the Dog God Record would be known by the Dog Elder, Chen Jie felt that the two were already hostile to each other. Even if he knew, the worst that could happen would be a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, Chen Jie was very suspicious that he would most likely meet Elder Quan during his trip to Chongshan Mansion. After all, the Wu Mu's testament was considered a sacred object to the current Zoroastrianism.
Ever since the Zoroastrians suffered a disastrous defeat in Hebei, these guys have completely dispersed. No one knows where these people are going.
Now that Wu Mu's suicide note has surfaced, it's impossible for these people not to be tempted.
So this trip is both an opportunity and a crisis, but Chen Jie has never been the kind of person who would sit and wait for death. The world is in chaos, and if he wants to survive, he has to fight.
Chen Jie took the Qinglong Guards away from Qianjiang Prefecture, leaving only Zhou Chu and other members of the fishing gang in Qianjiang Prefecture to organize production and expand the territory.
Thinking about it, Chen Jie was in a good mood. With the three prefectures as his backing, he was not completely unsuccessful. Looking at the younger generation in the world, he was still doing pretty well.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie returned to Huangzhou Prefecture, where his wife was already waiting for him.
Chen Jie wanted to talk to her more, but he was pushed into Huang Wan'er's room. The reason was that Huang Wan'er was about to give birth, probably within one or two months.
Chen Jie asked if the midwife was ready. Su Yunjin said, "The midwife is ready. We found the best midwife in Huangzhou Prefecture. Master Bai said she is a good hand."
Chen Jiefang calmed down and chatted with Huang Waner.
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie, touched her belly and said, "Chen Lang, are you going out again?"
Chen Jie said: "Yeah."
Huang Wan'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "How long will it take?"
Chen Jie was silent for a moment and said, "One or two months."
Huang Wan'er bit her lip, stroked her belly and refused to speak. Chen Jie saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huang Wan'er said, "Chen Lang, I hope that the child can see his father when he is born. Can you accompany me when I give birth?"
Hearing this, Chen Jie hesitated. He couldn't agree. After all, he didn't know when he would be able to come back. However, looking at Huang Wan'er's eager eyes, he still said, "Well, take good care of your pregnancy. I promise you, I will do everything I can to come back when you give birth and accompany you and the baby!"
Huang Wan'er held Chen Jie's hand and said, "Well, I'll wait for you..."
In this era, giving birth is a death sentence for women, and many women will die during childbirth, so at this moment Huang Wan'er actually felt a little tragic.
If old friends saw Huang Wan'er in her current state, they would probably find it hard to believe that she was still the crazy woman she used to be.
Chen Jie stayed with Huang Wan'er, talking and comforting her until dark.
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie and said, "Okay, go now. This has taken up your entire afternoon. If it also takes up your evening, I'm afraid your wife will scold me for being greedy."
After hearing this, Chen Jie wanted to say something, but she chased him away and said, "Okay, I will wait for you to come back with the child. Du Juan will see you off."
Huang Wan'er and Su Yunjin get along very harmoniously and are very restrained with each other. Although they both want Chen Jie to be with them all the time, they both know when to stop and treat Chen Jie equally.
This is actually a kind of compromise, a mutual compromise.
Su Yunjin does not take advantage of her favor to become arrogant, and Huang Wan'er does not use her son to seek favor. The inner house where they live in harmony makes Chen Jie less worried.
Du Juan sent Chen Jie away, and then came back to look at Huang Wan'er lying on the bed and said, "Master, you are really annoying. You are about to give birth, and you told me to leave, so I left."
Huang Wan'er glanced at Du Juan and said, "Du Juan, I want to eat grapes."
Du Juan smiled when she heard this and said, "Okay, it's good to eat grapes. Sour boys are spicy girls. Madam likes to eat grapes so much, I'm afraid she is a young master."
Huang Wan'er heard this, touched her belly and said nothing.
On the other side, Chen Jie came to Su Yunjin's room and saw Su Yunjin embroidering a small dress. Chen Jie came over and gently hugged her waist from behind.
Su Yunjin said, "Husband, stop making trouble. Why don't you spend more time with Sister Huang?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "I can't sit still when I think of my wife staying alone in an empty room. I will be leaving for Chongshan Mansion tomorrow. It will probably take another month or two. We will be apart more and less together."
Su Yunjin said: "A real man should have a broad mind, how can he have such a small heart? Don't worry, I will help you take care of the family affairs, and there will be no trouble."
Chen Jie said: "Thank you, madam."
As he spoke, Chen Jie took off a small sign from his waist and said, "After I leave, the big and small matters in the mansion can be decided by Bai Mosheng, Jin Yanzi, Chen Heng, and Chen Wang. You take this tiger sign. If there is any situation, you can use the tiger sign to pass on my orders and act at your discretion."
"Also, the White Tiger is staying in the mansion. It understands human nature. If there is a crisis, you can look for it. Also, Brother Ni went to Xiangyang, but I don't think there will be a fight in Xiangyang. If you encounter a situation that you can't solve, you can send someone to Qianjiang Mansion to find Brother Ni to deal with it."
"If the situation is really critical and difficult to resolve, my lady should put her family first and give up what needs to be given up. Remember, even if we lose Huangzhou Prefecture, I don't want anything to happen to you."
After hearing this, Su Yunjin nodded slightly and said, "I know everything, husband."
Chen Jie looked at the small clothes in her hand and asked, "Is this for our child?"
Su Yunjin said, "I'll be pregnant for a few more months. This is for Sister Huang. As a mother, I can't just not prepare anything when the baby is born."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "These can all be done by the maids and servants."
"It's different. This is also my intention."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Okay, don't embroider today. Your husband will leave tomorrow. You should stay with your husband for a while."
"Ah~ Husband, don't, be careful of the child."
"It's okay, I won't hurt you..."
……
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Su Yunjin got up and found that there was no one by the bed.
Chen Jie got up early and left. He didn't like the scene of parting, so he didn't let his wife see him off. He quietly put on his clothes and left.
Su Yunjin looked at the empty bed, feeling lost, and said, "Husband, please come back soon."
……
Drive, drive, drive...
Outside the city of Huangzhou, three horses galloped past. Leading the way was a horse with blue fur. It was very majestic and obviously a top-notch military horse. It was one of the war horses that Chen Jie had captured on the battlefield, the curly-haired blue lions.
Beside him were two red war horses, on one of which sat a burly young man, and on the other a slightly thin young man.
The burly young man is Chen Jie's right-hand man, Chen Xiaohu, and the other slightly thin young man is Chen Jie's personal bodyguard, Yu Chun.
The three of them rode their horses straight to Chongshan Prefecture.
Chongshan Prefecture was located in the northwest of Hunan, which is now Zhangjiajie.
Chen Jie and his party passed through Xianning and arrived at Chongshan Prefecture in one day and one night.
When they entered Hunan and approached Chongshan, the group saw countless people from the martial arts world heading towards Chongshan Prefecture.
Chen Jie and his group were not very conspicuous.
Hunan, at present, is partly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the other part, especially the western part of Hunan, is under the jurisdiction of the local indigenous people.
Therefore, there are many ethnic minorities living here, including the Miao, Tu and other ethnic groups.
As soon as they arrived at Chongshan, Chen Jie said to Xiaohu and Yuchun, "Xiaohu, Yuchun, when you are here, don't talk to the locals casually, and don't eat anything given by others. You have to be careful about everything. This is the territory of the Five Poison Sect."
Chen Xiaohu and Yu Chun agreed readily.
Following Chen Jie, they came to Chongshan Prefecture. Once they entered the territory of Chongshan Prefecture, they found that it was very desolate. There were tall trees everywhere, and there was miasma in the deep forest. It was very difficult for Chen Jie and his party to move forward.
The princess and Chen Jie decided to meet at the Silver Snake Inn in Chongshan Prefecture.
Once they entered Chongshan, Chen Jie and the other two got lost and before they knew it, it was dark.
It was getting dark and it was dangerous to travel. Chen Jie said, "Let's see if there is an inn nearby. If not, we can find a place to stay for the night."
After hearing this, Xiaohu said, "Yes, Brother Jiusi, I'll go take a look first."
Chen Jie said, "No, we are unfamiliar with this place, let's not separate, let's go together, Yuchun, follow me."
"Yes, Gang Leader."
As they talked, the three of them walked forward for a while and finally saw a shop at the intersection.
A shop that looks very old and shabby, with the words "Zheng's Old Shop" written on it.
Chen Jie looked and saw a few horses at the door of the shop. It should be an inn.
Chen Jie said: "Let's go and take a look."
After hearing this, Xiaohu and Yuchun followed, and the group quickly arrived in front of the Zheng family's old shop, and then they saw a waiter coming out to pour water.
Chen Jie asked, "Little Second Brother, please tell me the way."
As he spoke, Chen Jie took out a small string of ten copper coins from his pocket and threw it over.
The waiter was initially indifferent, but when he saw Chen Jie throwing a string of copper coins over, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, so you are the guest? What do you want to ask?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Little Second Brother, may I ask where is Chongshan City and how far is it from here?"
The waiter heard this and said, "Chongshan City? You are also going to Chongshan City to look for treasure, right?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Looking for treasure? What treasure are we looking for? We are businessmen. We are going to Chongshan City to buy some silverware and sell it back in Hubei."
"Oh, it's for business. You go along this road, then go over two hills and you'll see a river. Go east along the river for sixty miles and you'll reach Chongshan Prefecture."
After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "Then there are still more than a hundred miles?"
The waiter said, "About eighty or ninety miles, but it's dark now, the hills are hard to cross, and there are poisonous insects and fierce beasts. You better be careful. I suggest you leave at dawn tomorrow. Chongshan Prefecture is not like Hubei and other places. There are too many snakes and insects in the mountains. It's very dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the waiter and asked, "Is there any place to stay on this road?"
The waiter said, "Besides our store, go ahead for about fifty miles and over two hills. There should be an old Tujia store. You can also stay there."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, from what Xiaoer said, your two stores are located on the left and right sides of this hill, and there are no other stores in between?"
The waiter said, "Haha, you must be joking. Whoever dares to open an inn in the hills will be eaten by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts."
Chen Jie looked at the waiter and said, "Brother Xiaoer, we won't leave after hearing what you said. Do you have a room?"
The waiter heard this and said, "There is a room, but I'm afraid it can't accommodate you three?"
"Why?"
Chen Jie was a little surprised when he heard this and looked at the waiter. The waiter said, "There is only one large bunk bed left. You three are all nobles and cannot live in this bunk bed."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Little Second Brother, you underestimate us. We have traveled all over the country doing business and have stayed in all kinds of inns. It is already very good that we don't have to sleep in the wild. Leave that house to us and we will live here."
The waiter heard this and said, "Well, I'll be frank with you. Our house is very valuable. This big bunk bed costs one tael of silver per night."
"what!"
After hearing this, Xiao Hu immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "One tael of silver, why don't you go and rob it."
You have to know that even the big inn in Huangzhou Prefecture only costs two or three hundred coins for a night's stay. It is unreasonable that it is so expensive to sleep in a large dormitory in this remote place.
Thinking of this, they were about to argue, but the waiter said, "Dear guests, we can stay if we want to, or forget it if we don't want to, this is the price for this desolate mountain."
"Hey!"
After hearing this, Xiaohu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to teach the waiter a lesson.
Seeing this, Chen Jie waved his hand and threw two taels of silver to the waiter and said, "This is for today's room fee. Use the rest to pick out some edible food for us. We are really hungry."
After hearing this, the second brother said, "Okay, boss, here are the three distinguished guests."
"You three, please come inside."
Chen Jie and the other two walked in, put the horses at the door, and other servants came out and helped to tie them up.
Soon after, the group entered the house and, under the guidance of the waiter, came to a room. The waiter said, "Dear guests, please clean up and have dinner in the living room later."
Chen Jie, Xiao Hu and the other two came into the house, only to find it was very small, with only an earthen kang.
The earthen kang is rarely seen in Hubei, but there is one here, with a tattered quilt on it. Xiaohu went over and took a look. There was straw under the quilt. The whole house looked extremely simple.
Xiao Hu said, "Brother Jiu Si, this is her mother's shady shop. Give us this shabby room for one tael of silver."
Chen Jie said, "This is not expensive in the wilderness."
After hearing this, Yu Chun said, "Boss, Master Tiger, you guys sleep on the kang tonight, and I'll just stay here on the chair for the night."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Yu Chun and said, "You kid, why are you being so polite outside? Let's all sleep on the kang today."
Yu Chun said: "Boss, I..."
Chen Jie understood that he felt that because of his status and position, he did not dare to sleep on the kang with his leader.
Chen Jie said: "We don't have so much to say."
Then Chen Jie looked at the two of them and said, "I'll go out later. Don't be anxious when you eat. I'll check if there's any poison in the food before we eat."
After hearing this, Xiao Hu said, "Brother Jiu Si, are you saying that they might rob each other?"
Yu Chun, who was listening at the side, said, "Master Tiger, that sounds like murder for money!"
Xiaohu was stunned, and then asked: "Isn't that just thieves eating thieves?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "You should read some books when you have time."
After saying that, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Okay, let's go eat."
Soon the three of them went out, and by then other people had already arrived in the inn.
They sat at several tables in the living room.
Chen Jie, Xiaohu and the other two found a table in the corner and sat down, looking at the other tables.
The living room was not big, with a total of four tables. Chen Jie and his party occupied the southeast corner. Sitting next to them in the northeast corner were a group of Miao natives wearing Miao costumes. There were five of them in total, sitting at one table. They ordered a roasted lamb and were eating it with big mouthfuls. They looked exhausted as they had been traveling all night.
In the northwest corner, there were people sitting who were obviously from the martial arts world. There were three young men, two men and one woman, dressed in green. They had the aura of a famous family. One of them was holding a sword, and it seemed that they were from some sword-cultivating sect.
Chen Jie took a look and found that the strength of these three people was quite good. Even the leader's strength should have reached the Changhong realm. He sat there with a terrifying aura.
Sitting in the southwest corner was a pale-faced scholar who looked bookish with a long sword on his back. He looked extraordinary, but his strength was obviously average, and he didn't look like a powerful martial artist.
Chen Jie looked around calmly, then retracted his gaze. Then he heard the waiter come out and say, "Gentlemen, today we only have mutton noodles and a few local fresh side dishes left in the store. Please make do with them..."
As he spoke, the waiter came out with a large tray with a big bowl of mutton noodles on it.
Several large bowls were placed on each table, and then a few side dishes were brought out and placed on the table.
The waiter said, "Everyone, please make do with it."
Having said that, he stepped back.
Chen Jie looked at the mutton noodles on the table and smelled it. Hmm, there was a smell of special spices.
He took out his chopsticks and dipped them in the soup, then nodded slightly, saying that there was no poison in the mutton noodles.
Chen Jie inherits the legacy of Changchun Valley and has his own unique understanding of the use of poison.
Therefore, he could not be fooled by ordinary poisons. Chen Jie smelled it and confirmed that it was not poisonous. He let Xiaohu and Yuchun eat noodles and tried a few side dishes at the same time. They should not be poisonous either.
The people at the other tables also looked at the bowls of noodles in front of them.
At this time, the disciple from the big sect was in the northwest corner. The younger disciple obviously wanted to pick up the chopsticks first, but he saw the elder brother stretched out his hand and said, "Wait."
Then he took out a silver needle, tested it in the bowl of noodles and said, "Junior brother, be careful when traveling in the martial arts world."
The junior brother said with an attitude of being taught: "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."
The senior brother then handed the noodles in front of him to the junior sister and said, "Alian, you eat, this bowl is not poisonous."
"Thank you, senior brother."
As she spoke, the female disciple picked up the bowl of noodles on the table, looked at her senior brother and said, "Senior brother, my uncle and the others are going the other way, so they are almost at Chongshan Mansion."
The senior brother heard this and said, "Well, that's about right."
The junior brother heard this and said, "Brother, is that thing really that important? It's a military book, why would a martial arts sect like us fight for it?"
After hearing this, the senior brother said, "Shh, don't talk nonsense. That is the greatest treasure in the world. Even if we can't use it, if we give it to a wise leader, we can change our future. Maybe the foundation of our sect for generations to come depends on it."
After hearing this, the junior brother asked, "So powerful?"
The senior brother asked, "If it was an ordinary thing, would the whole world rush to grab it?"
The two were silent, and the elder brother said, "Hurry up and eat. Once you are full, go back to sleep. We will be on the road tomorrow."
As they were talking, the people at the other table eating roasted lamb shouted, "Boss, give me a jar of good wine!"
After hearing this, the junior brother at the table was startled and said, "Brother, there is wine!"
The senior brother frowned and said, "You can't drink alcohol."
The junior brother was silent, but he still remembered what his senior brother said. At this time, the scholar who was eating noodles over there said, "Give me a pot of wine."
At this time, the waiter said, "Here it is, a pot of good wine."
As he spoke, the waiter brought the wine, and then served another jar of good wine to the people eating barbecue.
At this time, the waiter looked at Chen Jie's table and the table of disciples from the Jianghu sect and said, "My two guests, please don't order any fine wine. Our restaurant has been collecting our daughter's red wine for many years. It is very fragrant!"
After hearing this, the disciple of the Jianghu sect said, "Thank you, store owner. We don't drink when we go out."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha, we don't drink either."
Seeing this, the waiter stopped recommending and just said, "That's a pity."
As he was speaking, the door outside was suddenly pushed open, and two children in ragged clothes came in.
An older boy was leading a little girl of about five or six years old. A basket covered with white cloth was hanging on the boy's right arm.
"My dear uncles, do you want some dates? The dates we grow at home are so sweet!"
The little boy started shouting as soon as he entered the store. When he heard the voice, he heard someone shouting from inside the counter, "Kick them out. I told you not to sell dates in our store. If you don't listen, kick them out, kick them out."
After hearing this, the waiter immediately shouted, "Kid, get out! You are not allowed to sell dates. Leave now."
He started to drive the child away, but unexpectedly, the little boy said, "Little brother, have a handful of dates."
When the waiter saw the child stuffing a handful of dates towards him, he frowned, but still picked one up and tasted it. Hmm, it was quite sweet.
As the waiter was talking, the child suddenly ran to Chen Jie's table, grabbed a handful of dates and put them on Chen Jie's table, saying, "Grandpa, have some dates. They're so sweet."
Then he ran around to each table and placed a handful of dates on each table.
At this time, the female disciple of the big sect said, "What a poor child! Here, this is for you!"
The female disciple from the big sect reached out, took out a small silver ingot and threw it into the child's basket.
The child looked at Chen Jie and the group of rough Tujia people.
The Tujia man looked at the dates in his hand, then took out a string of copper coins and threw them over, saying, "Here, here you go."
Chen Jie frowned slightly, looked at the dates in his hand, and signaled Xiaohu to give money.
Xiaohu took out a small silver nugget and threw it over.
The child immediately thanked: "Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, gentlemen."
"Everyone, please try these dates. They are delicious. They are all grown by us."
After hearing this, the female disciple from the big sect picked up a date and was about to eat it, but was stopped by the senior brother who said, "Junior sister."
The junior sister was stunned, and said, "Senior brother, take the silver needle that is unique to their sect and test for poison, and stick it in."
When I pulled it out, I saw that the silver needle was intact and non-toxic.
The disciples of the big sect were stunned. Seeing this, the junior sister said, "Brother, you are too cautious. How could such a young child have any bad intentions?"
As he said this, he picked up a date and started eating it.
"Mm, these dates are so sweet, and have a peculiar fragrance. They are delicious. Senior brother, junior brother, you all should try them."
As she spoke, the junior sister picked out a few of the largest dates and handed them to the junior brother. The junior brother picked one, took a bite and said, "Well, this date is delicious. Senior brother, try it."
After hearing this, the senior brother looked at his junior brother and sister who had eaten the dates, then looked at the silver needle that he had tested for poison and found to be normal, frowned, then picked up a date and put it into his mouth.
He nodded slightly and said, "These dates do taste good."
Seeing her senior brother eating the dates, the junior sister said with a smile: "Senior brother, let's buy all the dates and let our senior uncle and the others taste them later!"
After hearing this, the senior brother said, "That's good, Master Uncle likes to eat fruit."
The child looked at his junior sister and smiled, "Sister, you have already paid, so these dates are all yours."
The junior sister smiled and said, "Thank you."
At this time, the little boy looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother, why don't you eat the dates?"
Chen Jie looked at the dates in his hand, smelled them, and then looked at the child and said, "Do you really want me to eat these dates?"
The child was stunned and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Chen Jie said: "It's nothing special, but these dates look good. I'll try them!"
Chen Jie took a bite of the date and it tasted sweet. Seeing Chen Jie eating the date, the little boy said happily, "How is it, brother? I thought it was sweet, right?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, it's good, very sweet. It must be very hard to grow dates like this."
"Oh, no, it grew on its own. It's effortless."
After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly and ate all the dates. The child looked at Xiaohu and the others and said, "Brother, try our dates."
Xiaohu felt something was wrong, so he said, "I don't like eating dates."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Try it."
Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie in surprise and asked, "Brother Jiusi?"
Chen Jie said: "Try it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohu looked at Yu Chun, then picked up the dates on the table and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
When the little boy saw Xiaohu and Yuchun also eating dates, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
At this time, he turned around and looked at the disciples of the big sect over there. Taking advantage of the moment when the child turned around, Chen Jie secretly handed two detoxification pills to Xiaohu and Yu Chun.
Xiaohu and Yuchun were stunned, then immediately stuffed the food into their mouths.
Then they all looked at Chen Jie, waiting for his instructions.
Seeing this, Chen Jie pressed his hand down, meaning to wait and see what happens.
The two of them also became quiet and stopped talking, and began to watch the situation.
At this time, everyone in the room was either eating dates, drinking wine, or eating noodles. It was quite leisurely for a while.
Chen Jie ate the noodles quietly, looking at the dates, thinking that Xiangxi was indeed a place full of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. It was really terrible that a small inn could poison people.
If I hadn't been familiar with the pharmacology and knew the working principle of this poison, I would have died tragically on the spot today.
Chen Jie was thinking without saying anything, when suddenly a loud noise came from outside.
Then I heard the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground, and the next moment, I heard a loud shout from outside: "Everyone in the house, get out!"
Hearing this loud shout, Chen Jie looked outside. It was really interesting. The real culprit had arrived.
Chen Jie remained calm, and the three disciples from the big sect also remained calm, they just held their swords.
At this time, the scholar carrying the sword looked at the waiter and asked, "Who is outside, making such a noise?"
After hearing this, the waiter immediately said nervously: "Dear guests, this is bad, it should be the local horse bandits."
Horse bandit?
After hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned. The Tujia men immediately said anxiously: "Could it be the Miao bandits entrenched in Hutou Mountain?"
The waiter said, "Yes, it's them."
After hearing this, there was a loud bang outside, and the door of the shop was kicked open by someone from the outside.
Soon after, a group of burly men walked in. Leading them was a man over 1.9 meters tall, with muscles all over his body. He wore the unique ethnic hat of the Miao youth on his head and a big earring on his ear.
He held a nine-ring machete in his hand.
Standing there, he was able to block the door. He had a strong and powerful aura and seemed to have the strength to transform his energy.
Following closely behind him came a group of young men wearing various Miao costumes. Each of them was at the Iron Bone Realm or Willow Tendon Realm in strength. There were more than twenty of them in total.
If this happened in a small county town, this force would be strong enough, but it is not strong enough in this house.
However, Chen Jie had two wolf smoke signals and one transformation force.
Even among the disciples of the big sect, there was one at the Changhong Realm and two at the Langyan Realm. Facing such a group of ignorant Miao bandits, it was simply like delivering food to them.
Therefore, in the whole room, only the Tujia merchants who were eating roasted lamb were really panicked, because they were the real deal.
Even the young man with a sword on his back didn't care. He just drank and looked over here.
At this time, the sturdy man glanced around the room and said, "Listen up, everyone. Throw your weapons over here. If you don't want to die, don't resist, or I'll kill you right now!"
Snapped!
After hearing what the sturdy man said, I thought the disciple from the big sect would explode, but I didn't expect it to be the scholar in white clothes carrying a sword. He slammed the table and stood up and said angrily: "You bold horse bandits, you dare to rob in broad daylight, you are so bold!"
"Take this sword from someone!"
As he spoke, the scholar in white actually drew his sword and was about to chop him down. At this time, he jumped onto the table, took a few steps, and rushed directly towards the burly man.
The sturdy man glared at the sight, and then saw the scholar stepping on the table twice, but suddenly his feet stepped on empty air, and the next moment, with a bang, he fell to the ground, like a dog eating shit.
Ok?
This made the scholar stunned. He shook his head and asked, "How could this happen?"
At this time, the sturdy man kicked the scholar away, and knocked the table away with a bang.
Seeing this scene, the waiter said in pain: "Luo Heizi, please be gentle, this table will be useful in the future!"
Ah!
After hearing this, the female disciple from the big sect shouted angrily, "You, you are a black shop, you are in cahoots with them!"
After hearing this, the waiter looked at them and said, "Oh, it's exposed."
Luo Heizi said: "Let them show it, anyway none of them will survive today."
"You can't survive! You are so bold! Do you know who we are? I will enforce justice for you now!"
With a shout from Canglang, the junior sister drew out her sword and waved her hand, ready to stab Luo Heizi.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this scene, the eldest brother's face changed drastically.
"Oh no, we're poisoned."
After hearing this, Luo Heizi laughed and said, "Haha, why did you just react now?"
At this time, the younger apprentice brother's face changed drastically and he said, "Brother, when did we use silver needles to test the poison?"
"Silver needle, hahaha, can that thing also test poison?"
Luo Heizi laughed and said, "You really underestimate our Miaojiang's methods. What's the use of a mere silver needle?"
After saying that, Luo Heizi looked at the little apprentice sister who fell to the ground and said, "This woman is quite good-looking. Let's have some fun together later, brothers!"
"Okay, listen to the boss."
"You, you bunch of rats, dare to insult my junior sister, you are courting death!"
Canglang, at this time, saw that the junior brother was furious when he saw his beloved junior sister being insulted by this group of natives. He drew his sword and stabbed Luo Heizi directly.
With his strength at the Wolf Smoke Realm, it would be easy for him to deal with Luo Heizi's minion who is at the Hua Jin level.
"Die!"
when!
With a crisp sound, a long sword was knocked out and stuck into the ground with a clang. At this time, Luo Heizi laughed and said, "Haha, you were hit by our Miaojiang's soft muscle powder. You want to break free with your Wolf Smoke Realm."
"You're looking for death, I'll chop you up first, then I'll talk!"
As he said that, Luo Heizi raised his big knife and chopped off his junior brother's head.
"what……"
The junior sister screamed in shock, her face turned pale, and she cried out in shock, while Luo Heizi's knife chopped down fiercely.
But at this moment, there was a sudden roar: "How dare you!"
The next moment, the eldest senior brother who was sitting there suddenly had a puff of white smoke coming out of his body. Then he flew up and stabbed Luo Heizi with a sword.
Seeing this, Luo Heizi swung his sword and chopped at him.
With a loud bang, Luo Heizi suddenly flew out and smashed the scholar's table to pieces with his head.
puff……
Luo Heizi spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother!"
At this time, the younger brothers and sisters looked at their senior brother standing there with white smoke coming out of his body, with admiration on their faces, as if they had seen the most powerful person in the world.
Senior brother, you are so handsome!
Cough cough cough...
The senior brother knocked Luo Heizi away with one blow and stood there with white smoke all over his head.
clap clap clap...
Seeing this scene, I suddenly heard a burst of clapping.
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw that the person clapping was the harmless little boy selling dates.
At this time the little boy smiled, and suddenly his voice became very old: "Haha, amazing, amazing, you are worthy of being a strong man in the Changhong Realm. You can still use your energy after being hit by my muscle softening powder. Hahaha, not bad, not bad..."
Seeing the little boy so evil, everyone looked at him in shock.
The junior sister said in surprise: "You..."
The little boy laughed and said, "You are a good girl with a kind heart. You can be used as a furnace for me. Luo Heizi, you are a waste. If you are not dead, stand up."
After hearing this, Luo Heizi immediately got up and said, "Master Protector, please spare my life, Master Protector, please spare my life!"
The little boy looked at Luo Heizi and said, "Go tie him up!"
Seeing this, Luo Heizi immediately said nervously: "Master Protector, this Changhong Realm is not easy to deal with!"
The little boy laughed and said, "Haha, is there anyone who is difficult to deal with in front of this old man?"
"Down, down, down!"
Seeing that the poison had already entered his blood, the little boy pointed at the disciple from the big sect in the Changhong realm and said, "Fall."
With a bang, the man from Changhong realm fell down, followed by his junior brothers and sisters.
The little boy called out the names one by one, and soon almost everyone in the room fell down.
At this time, the little boy pointed at Chen Jie and said, "Fall!"
Chen Jie sat there, motionless. The little boy frowned and shouted again, "Fall!"
In the end, Chen Jie didn't fall down.
Chen Jie even picked up a date, took a bite, and then looked at the shocked little boy and said, "Are you wondering why I didn't fall?"
