Chapter 8 - City Gate Disturbance
“This is Brother Zhao’s ignorance. This is the secret technique of the Seven-Star Wild Beast Quemang Dragon Beast. It is definitely not that simple. Do you know what characteristics the Sparrow Mang Dragon Beast has?” Wu Shuangjie shook his head and asked back.
“The strength of the Sparrow Dragon Beast is not very powerful among the Seven Star Savage Beasts, but they can travel unimpeded in the underground and are good at sneak attacks. The ordinary formation method can’t trap them. This ability makes them very powerful among the Seven Star Savage Beasts. A difficult existence, many human warriors are unwilling to provoke them.” Gu Ruoqing knows a lot about these brutal beasts, and she whispers at this moment.
“The young lady is really knowledgeable. The secret technique that Li Qingniu masters is the talent that the Quemang Dragon Beast relies on most. It can be said that if he wants to escape, no one in this ancient city of Qingyang can stop him!” Wu Shuangjie nodded, some Envy.
“Escape? Why did I want to escape?” At this moment, Li Qingniu’s figure suddenly emerged from the surface of the sandy ground, and asked in doubt. He just used a secret technique to walk through the surrounding surface before it emerged.
“Hey! Your kid finally came out. I thought you were hiding in the ground and doing bad things!” Wu Shuangjie saw Li Qingniu appear and ran over with a smile.
“Bad thing! What a bad thing, I… I didn’t see anything!” Wu Shuangjie’s unintentional remark made Li Qingniu, who has always been careless, suddenly squeezed, and he spoke with a guilty conscience, even more so. Not dare to look at Gu Ruoqing, who was slender in a green dress next to her.
This secret technique of the Quemang Dragon Beast can not only hide in the ground without obstruction, but also gain ground vision. When he just passed Gu Ruoqing’s side, he inadvertently saw the scenery under her skirt, which is eye-catching. The whiteness of the snow made him feel a blush and heartbeat.
Fortunately, although Gu Ruoqing noticed Li Qingniu’s abnormality, she didn’t think so much. She wandered off Li Qingniu with a pair of clear eyes. It took a while before she mustered up the courage to ask, “Mr. Li, I don’t know where you are going next. Where?”
“I want to look outside, to see if the world outside this Xiaoman Village is really as dangerous as the deaf woman said!” Li Qingniu didn’t think much, blurting out the thoughts in his heart.
“Then I don’t know if Mr. Li is willing to join my Gu’s business group? Don’t worry, our Gu’s business group will never treat someone like you badly. All treatments can be discussed as long as we can get it.” Gu Ruoqing’s eyes Full of expectation, the strength of the young man in front of her made her have to be careful.
What disappointed Gu Ruoqing was that even though he put his posture so low, Li Qingniu still shook his head and refused:
“I can’t join your Gu’s business group, I still have one very important thing to do!”
Li Qingniu’s refusal was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all, but he then rerouted and said, “But I can go to Qingyang Deserted City with you temporarily. If your Gu’s business group has anything to help, just speak up, deaf. My mother-in-law once said that the grace of dripping water should be repayed by the spring. You saved my life, and I naturally want to repay you. Although I am still weak now, I will fight a man in black robe like the daytime. This is not a problem.”
Li Qingniu said it very sincerely, especially when he was weak, he was even more determined, as if he could not allow others to refute, Wu Shuangjie and Zhao Guanshi almost didn’t roll their eyes: if you guys are still weak, like us What is this?
“Great!” Gu Ruoqing was overjoyed when she heard the words, her pretty face was like a spring breeze, and her sadness disappeared a lot. Under the bonfire, she became more and more bright.
These days, the crisis of the business group has always been a haze in her heart. Now that she has such a powerful helper as Li Qingniu, her tight heartstrings have loosened a lot.
“Miss, I have an idea. Since Brother Li is willing to help, our Gu’s business group can’t treat him badly. Doesn’t my business group have an upper court in the Wuhun Wuyuan? How about giving it to Brother Li? “At this time, Wu Shuangjie suddenly spoke. He had promised Li Qingniu to introduce him to the Wuhun Academy, but with his relationship, he could at most be sent to the lower court, which was incomparable with the upper court that was trained by the martial arts academy.
“The business group is up to me. The quota is not a problem, but Mr. Li…” Gu Ruoqing nodded after hearing this for a moment, and then asked Li Qingniu.
“Brother Li, don’t you want to be stronger? Hesitate to enter the Wuhun Upper House. With your talent, you can awaken a powerful Wuhun!” Wu Shuangjie saw that Li Qingniu was still ignorant. He agreed directly on his behalf.
“If awakening the Martial Spirit really makes me stronger, I must go to the Martial Spirit Academy to see!” Upon hearing that it could make me stronger, Li Qingniu nodded and agreed.
The bonfire dissipated, and the long night finally ushered in dawn. The caravan set off early. After a long trek, the desolate sandy land finally came to an end. The vegetation along the road gradually prospered. At noon, they finally came outside an ancient city.
Looking into the distance, the towering towers are clearly visible. The ancient city is not big. Compared with the magnificent and undisturbed land, it is as small as a meteor in the vast sea, but it is the only place where human races live near this area, and it is also the intersection of all wild tribes. Because of this, there is a busy life, a bustling life, and quite prosperous.
The dusty caravan slowly walked under a tall city gate. Guan Shi and several people got out of the carriage and went to negotiate with the caravan who was interrogating the road ahead.
Li Qingniu looked at this vast city curiously. It was the first time he saw a human city. Compared to the small village he had lived in for more than ten years, he didn’t know how big it was. The city is tightly guarded, and the marks of various swords, axes, beasts and beasts can be seen on the top, and the blood marks that have not yet dispersed are looming, telling the cruelty and glory it has experienced.
“Haha! It must be my father and they are back!”
Suddenly a very happy voice came from within the city wall.
“Father, has it been done? Hey, Guan Shi! How come you are still alive, haha… Are you as loyal as you and betrayed the Gu family?” A young man dressed in Chinese clothes led a few people to follow happily. The city rushed out, first calling out loudly, and then seeing Guan Zhao who was negotiating with Pancha Jiashi, he was stunned, a little disdainful.
When Guan Shi saw the man in Chinese clothes who came suddenly, his complexion suddenly became extremely unkind, and he quickly retreated to look back at Ruo Qing’s carriage.
“Gu Tianyi!” Gu Ruoqing got down from the carriage, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man in Chinese clothes riding on the tall horse, and her words were filled with ghastly hatred.
“Gu Ruoqing! How can you treat me this way? No! My father, where is he!” The man in Chinese clothes named Gu Tianyi was startled first, and then his face became more and more gloomy. The scene he imagined was different. He came forward excitedly. It should be his father Gu Mucheng who came out to meet him. How could he become Gu Ruoqing who was supposed to be a prisoner!
“No need to look for it. Gu Mucheng colluded with the reckless bandit and wanted to be unfavorable to the young lady. He was already killed in the sky!” As soon as Guanshi Zhao said this, the crowds near the city gate were all attracted. This kind of family infighting , Of course, they are the most interested people in the market.
“It’s absolutely impossible! Guan Shi, you don’t want to spit blood!” Gu Tianyi’s expression became extremely ugly. The activities planned by their father and son, he naturally knew that they could not be disclosed to the public. He was stabbed in the spine because he didn’t follow his name.
“How can this be impossible? This is Gu Mucheng’s family token. Everyone in the caravan can testify!” Gu Ruoqing took out a blue token with Gu Mucheng’s name engraved on it. Gu Tianyi recognized that it was his father at a glance. His personal token was so sad that none of them staggered and fell off the horse.
“I don’t believe it! You must be lying to me, but my father spent a lot of money to invite the black robe of the five-star powerhouse to help out. How could he fail!” He still couldn’t accept it, his mind was confused, and he started talking nonsense. Their secret plan was revealed.
“Sure enough, I have long seen that this branch of the Gu family has been coveting the authority of the main channel for a long time, and it is really shameful to have used such a vicious method!” In the crowd, a martial artist counted loudly and attracted. The people around him agreed, and many people looked at Gu Tianyi and looked bad.
“Zhao Jiashi, this is the internal affair of my Gu’s business group. Please also disperse all these idle people and others!” Gu Tianyi was irritated by the contemptuous gaze of the surrounding crowd, facing a soldier guarding the city wall. The captain shouted.
The Jiashi captain surnamed Zhao hesitated for a moment, and waved his hand to disperse the crowd.
“Isn’t it because my sister married into the city lord’s mansion and became a concubine? What’s so arrogant…” The indignant warrior wanted to say more, but he couldn’t stop the encircling soldiers and was forced into the city. Go, there are only two parties of the Gu family and a group of soldiers outside the city.
“I suspect that these people have colluded with bandits and murdered my father, and asked Zhao Jiashi to take them all down. As for her, she is a repeat offender, sent to my house, and let me deal with it slowly!”
When the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Gu Tianyi scanned the people with cold eyes, and finally fell on Gu Ruoqing’s body, with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, and all kinds of evil thoughts rose in her heart, letting him go for the loss of his father. Becoming extremely crazy, he had already figured out how to concoct Gu Ruoqing.
“Gu Tianyi, you are worthy of a father and son, the same insidious and vicious, and the same shameless and despicable!” Gu Ruoqing was irritated by his shameless attitude of inverting black and white, and she cursed with no regard for the demeanor of a lady.
