Hidden Blade

Chapter 388 Lifesaving Grace

After entering the territory of Yanzhou, even if it was just a small town on the border of Yanzhou, the liveliness and prosperity of the town was obviously higher than that of the Liaolong and Longzhou Prefectures.

The capital of Great Xia, Heng Imperial City, is located in Yanzhou.

Yan Zhou to Great Xia was Liang Zhou to Great Zhou.

Its prosperity and affluence are both reasonable and unexpected. This was at least true for Xu Han and the others who had just arrived, but Yan Zhan and Xue Ning were familiar with each other, so they were clearly considered frequent visitors from Yan Province.

Just as he walked into the small border town called Luo Ding City, he heard Mr. Shuo's cadence from the wine shop at the corner of the street.

"Flying Mountain, ten thousand li sword piercing through!"

This seemed to be the heroic deeds of a certain former dynasty general. The drinkers below the stage were excited to hear this. Glasses of light crisscrossed each other, and there was no lack of pedestrians outside the drinks hall who could not afford to pay for the drinks but could only listen to it.

"Old man Wei, someone is stealing your business." Seeing this scene, Chu Chouli looked at the old man with the wooden chest on his back and said with ridicule.

Old Master Wei 's back seemed to have bent a little. The wooden chest on his back was like a mountain pressing down on his back. Yan Zhan, who was so distressed to see it, said more than once that he wanted to help Master Wei, but was stopped by Xu Han and the other two who had seen the strange chest before.

When the old man heard this, he grinned and said, "Do your own business, well water doesn't violate the river water."

..

According to the convention, the group found an inn to stay in.

Chu Chouli took the lead in ordering a table of wine and dishes and winked at Yan Zhan.

Yan Zhan comprehensively pulled Ning Zhumang, who was about to go into the room to pack his things, and the two of them responded and drank wine for Lord Ning again.

In their previous conversation with Gui Puti, the crowd had most likely heard some clues about Ning Zhumang's ancient past. Adhering to the spirit of digging deep into the roots and tracing back to the source, Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan would occasionally talk to Ning Zhumang.

However, Lord Ning had been in charge of the sect for at least several decades, and his mouth was tightly shut. Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan tried their best to figure out what was going on, but they were unable to detect any of them.

In the end, Chu Chouli slapped his thigh and came up with a "poisonous scheme"!

In his words, "Beauties in this world are most afraid of a sweet mouth, but heroes in this world are most afraid of a pot of wine that is old and fragrant."

In his eyes, Hero Chu, there was probably nothing in this world that could not be solved by a jar of wine. If so, then two jars.

Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan clapped. The two of them had begun this round of drinking a few days ago and had put it into practice.

Thus, on the first day, Hero Chu was drunk, and he snot and cried as he told the sad and beautiful love story between him and her at the age of eighteen.

The next day, Yan Zhan smiled foolishly and said that he and Xue Ning knew each other. Speaking of rising, he seemed to want to hug the girl whose face was flushed from the smell of alcohol by his side. However, what he got was a big white eye. After that, he repeatedly apologized, coaxed, and swore to settle the matter.

From the beginning to the end, Sect Leader Ning, who was the target of this "poisonous scheme", leisurely drank sake and watched the two men play with treasures in front of him with an indifferent expression.

The two middle-aged men, who thought they were heroes in the wine, thought bitterly and decided a few days later to launch another attack on Ning Zhumang with their new strategic plan, which was based on persuasion and supplemented by respect.

Apart from shaking his head and bitterly smiling, Xu Han sighed at the two children's temperament. He had no interest in participating, nor did he intend to stop them.

He couldn't stand the commotion of the two of them and sat at the side table with Master Wei, Zhen Yue, and the others.

Zhen Yue, who had just arrived, had probably witnessed the extraordinary abilities of the others before. The few of them were somewhat embarrassed, especially when they were beside Master Wei.

It wasn't until Master Wei finished his dinner and walked out of the inn alone with his suitcase on his back that the atmosphere at the table relaxed a little. Of course, this relaxation was only relative.

Dull and quiet were still the main colors on the dining table, which was quite incompatible with Chu Chouli and the others who were talking loudly next door.

Seeing this, Xu Han suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

The four strong men sitting on both sides were stunned. They widened their eyes and looked at Xu Han, who had made this request, before turning to look at their boss.

Zhen Yue also raised her head, a little stunned, as if she did not believe that Xu Han had sent her such an invitation.

However, after confirming that the other party's gaze was indeed directed at her, the girl still nodded her head.

..

Hu Ma, Lu Yashan, Wei Chen, and Shi Yucheng were known as Zhen Yue's four Diamonds.

Of course, this name was self-proclaimed, but Zhen Yue's subordinates were only the four of them. Naturally, no one would snatch it from them.

The four Diamonds were tiptoeing behind Xu Han and Zhen Yue at this moment. Their expressions were vigilant and focused, just like farmers who were guarding against evil wolves snatching away their sheep. They were filled with hatred, but they were also somewhat fearful.

This analogy was somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Zhen Yue's ability was not something the four of them could compare to, but that concern was real. The five of them were dependent on each other in Great Zhou's Jianghu, and the relationship between them was not something that could be explained by simple words like boss and little brother.

"Old Ma, do you think this brat is coveting the beauty of our boss and trying to force him to submit?" As one of the four, Lu Yashan, who was quite intelligent, first put forward his own point of view.

"Mm, this kid doesn't look good. From the beginning, I felt that he didn't look like a good person. He must have evil intentions on this trip." Hu Ma nodded, agreeing with Lu Yashan's idea.

The youngest Wei Chen was puzzled, "But I remember when I was in the antler plains, Brother Ma said that our boss was interested in him .. How could this be considered Lang Qing's concubine .."

"Bah!" Hu Ma shouted. However, he seemed to realize that his voice was too loud. He shrank his neck and looked at the two people walking in front of him. After confirming that his voice did not attract their attention, he said, "That brat pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. Our boss likes him. That's called favoring him!" "Kid, if you have some conscience, it's not like the two of you can't be together."

"But this kid is really capable now. He likes to bully men and women with his own cultivation. If he abandons our boss, wouldn't he harm our boss?"

Hu Ma said solemnly, causing Lu Yashan and Wei Chen to nod their heads repeatedly and not be able to pick out a single flaw.

However, Shi Yucheng, who hadn't spoken the entire time, poked his head out and carefully looked at the three people who shared the same hatred. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he mustered the courage to say, "But .. in the antlers, it seems like he saved us."

"So what?!" The three of them asked in unison.

"Gulu."

Shi Yucheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered with difficulty, "Didn't you say .. saving my life .."

'"When.. to repay me with my promise.."
