Chapter 148: Taking stock after the war, full of gains
Cheng Feng, who was so angry that he kept cursing, and the four servants who were so frustrated by him that they dared not say a word, were quickly taken away by the people of the Nancheng garrison.
Of course, the Nancheng garrison master did not come in person, but just sent his men to deal with the matter.
According to Zhou Xiang, when he went to the Nancheng garrison to report the case, they didn't take it seriously at all. It was only when they heard that the matter related to the two famous families of Su and Cheng in Qingcheng that the attitude of the people inside changed.
Nancheng garrison Li Cheng even met Zhou Xiang in person.
After hearing the latter explain the whole story, the look on Li Shoubei's face was really wonderful. He wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, and wanted to scold but couldn't.
Finally, he waved his hand and could only send someone to follow Zhou Xiang to the inn to get someone.
It's okay if he doesn't know. The victim has reported the crime. Even if he doesn't want to cause such a thing, he has to take Cheng Feng and others back to the garrison.
Apart from anything else, the Su family is not someone to be trifled with in Qingcheng. They have a lot of energy, so it's okay to deal with all these things.
Then, it was a matter of going to the inn to arrest people.
Seeing that the four intact servants of the Four Realms followed the people guarding the city and left obediently, Zhou Xiang was relieved but also found it funny.
"Alas! Lard is deceived! At this time, why do we have to make a fortune!" Zhou Xiang couldn't help but slap his head and said in annoyance, "I think their shield that can defend against the broken crossbow arrows is good. They should let them Stay!"
"I want to eat my shit!" Chu Tang, who also watched quietly as the people from the garrison mansion took Cheng Feng away, expressionless, kicked Zhou Xiang's butt after hearing what Zhou Xiang said, "The star-absorbing shield is extremely rare, how dare you If you take other people's weapons, they will dare to fight you!"
Zhou Xiang touched his butt and said with a smile: "Squad leader, aren't I invigorating the atmosphere? You see, everyone is relieved but also tired after seeing off the enemy."
Chu Tang turned around and looked at everyone, and sure enough, he saw the joy and tiredness of the survivors on their faces.
Needless to say, the policeman, Su Qingyue and Xiaoyou were even more unbearable. They relied closely on each other and supported each other to stand firm.
After thinking about it, Chu Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Xiang, tell the store to serve the food quickly! Everyone, hurry up and finish eating, and then get on the road immediately and rush to Qingcheng overnight!"
"Ah? No, squad leader, didn't you say you have a night's rest?"
"Traveling all night? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Head of the class..."
"Shut up! Just obey your orders!" Chu Tang acted in a rare and arbitrary manner.
Seeing Chu Tang's serious expression, no one dared to show their teeth.
Zhou Xiang approached Chu Tang and asked softly: "Is Leader Chu afraid that the Cheng family will make further moves, so he changed his mind and tried to get to Qingcheng tonight?"
"Yeah." Chu Tang responded and looked at Zhou Xiang. This guy is a smart man. There is no need to explain to him.
The reason is also very simple, that is, not giving the Cheng family a chance to react.
No one knows whether the Cheng family only sent Cheng Feng and his team.
Before the news of Cheng Feng's failure and arrest spread, they rushed to Qingcheng as soon as possible, where it was relatively safer.
As for the risk of traveling overnight - after entering Nancheng, the more than ten or twenty miles to Qingcheng, not to mention picking up lost things on the way, is at least not as dangerous as the mountain roads and forest roads.
Zhou Xiang thought for a while and then asked: "Board leader, have you considered that by the time we arrive at Qingcheng, it will be late at night, the city gates will be closed, and they won't let us enter the city?"
Chu Tang glanced at him and said, "Then camp outside the city gate and have a hard night's work!"
Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumb and said: "Squad leader, you are so tall! We are camping outside the city gate, with the city defense army just across the gate. At this distance, no one dares to come and make trouble with us!"
Chu Tang said: "As long as you know, hurry up and get on the road as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang promised, turned around and went to work.
"Master Chu!" Just when Chu Tang was about to have some dinner, a familiar voice came from behind and he couldn't help but turn around.
Hu Yang from Changfeng Escort Agency walked over with a look of shame on his face.
Behind him, Chen Suming and others stood at the door. Their clothes were wet and they were shaking a little, but they did not follow him immediately.
Outside, the rain stopped and night fell.
Inside the inn, the lanterns were on.
Chu Tang didn't say anything sorry to Hu Yang. He went up and told him his plan, and finally asked: "Boss Hu, are you going to Qingcheng with us overnight, or are you staying in Nancheng for one night?" Going on the road again tomorrow?”
"This..." Hu Yang was suddenly embarrassed and embarrassed.
Chu Tang immediately understood what he meant and said: "Hu Biaotou, you and I don't owe each other, there is no need to think about face!"
Hu Yang sighed and said, "Then I'll wait for the escort and wait until tomorrow before setting off on the road. It's really not safe at night..."
Chu Tang nodded, feeling that the other party had made a conscious choice.
Entering the Nancheng area, not far from Qingcheng, the Chen family siblings suddenly felt much safer.
No matter how bold the thief is, he would not dare to cause trouble openly within the confines of Qingcheng.
During the day tomorrow, the Changfeng Escort Bureau does not need to do anything more. It will be extremely safe to directly follow some official missions between Qingcheng and Nancheng.
It would be much more dangerous to follow these officials from Guijun on the road overnight.
Let’s not talk about the night road and so on. Let’s just talk about the Cheng family’s back plan, which is difficult to predict.
Hu Yang is a veteran of the world, so there is no way he can't figure this out.
He also made the best choice.
"Boss Hu, I'll just say goodbye, everyone, take care!" Chu Tang couldn't help but clasping his fists and saying a few polite words in accordance with the customs of the world.
After all, we have been together for more than ten days, fought together, and shed blood. Although it is not a life-long friendship, it is not just a casual acquaintance.
People always have feelings.
Hu Yang said solemnly: "These days, Master Chu has been taking care of me... I cannot thank you enough for my kindness! It's a pity that Hu has low martial arts skills and can't do much even if he wants to help Master Chu!"
Hu Yang said these words very sincerely, and even moved him emotionally. His eyes were bright and his tone was choked.
Chu Tang patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.
Hu Yang then turned around and left. When he reached the door, he lowered his head and said a few words to Chen Suming.
After hearing this, Chen Suming walked quickly into the inn, called Chu Tang, and said: "Master Chu... If you have any trouble in Qingcheng, you can come to me at the Lin family in the east of the city. You can find out if you ask around the Lin family in the east of the city. ”
Chu Tang raised his head and took a deep look at her, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much."
Chen Suming pursed her lips tightly, opened her lips, but said nothing and turned away.
When she walked out of the inn door, she came to Hu Yang and said, "Hu Yang, Mr. Hu, let's find another inn to settle down for one night. It's not appropriate to stay here... for a long time!"
Hu Yang nodded, took two steps, and looked back. Inside the inn, under the lights, a group of detectives were busy, eating and tidying up.
Even Chu Tang didn't look outside again, but walked to Su Qingyue and explained something to her.
At this moment, Hu Yang felt that although the two sides were still very close, they were so far away.
Just like clouds and water, they seem to have been together, but they are completely different.
Turning around again, he found that Chen Suming was also looking at the inn with a forlorn expression. Hu Yang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Cheng... Master, let's go. Mr. Chu is like an eagle in the sky. He must fly high. It's not me who waits." One that can be climbed.”
Chen Suming woke up with a start, glanced at Hu Yang who had an "I understand very well" look on his face, and quickly explained: "The wealthy families in Qingcheng are not easy to mess with. He offended the Cheng family, and I don't know what the consequences will be! I'm just It’s a pity that his kung fu has not been passed down to others!”
Hu Yang actually smiled.
"Although I, Old Hu, didn't watch their fight carefully just now, from a few glances outside, I can see how superb Mr. Chu's martial arts is. The Cheng family really may not be able to handle him!" Hu Yang's confidence in Chu Tang is extremely strong.
Chen Suming was silent, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.
She didn't look too closely, but the figure flying around in the small space of the inn shocked her as much as the figure that night!
"Damn guy, such a good martial arts was lost in vain, do you want to take it into the coffin! My little brother refuses to teach you, and I..." Thinking of this, Chen Suming's face became slightly hot and his face turned red.
Chen Suming, who had experienced the destruction of his family and his life-and-death escape, had a stronger psychological quality than many people. He quickly regained his composure, walked to his younger brother, took the other's hands, and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he gradually left the inn without looking back.
Hu Yang followed, only turning back three times every step of the way. He didn't leave until he saw Chu Tang looking towards him from a distance and nodded, then he left with satisfaction.
In the inn, the shopkeeper carefully served Chu Tang and his party, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after sending them out.
"These rough guys who wield swords and guns are finally gone! They scared me to death!" the shopkeeper's final complaint was full of helplessness.
Gotta get it!
Under nightfall, the carriage restarted, and Chu Tang and his party crossed the main road in Nancheng.
Although it is only a satellite city of Qingcheng, it is home to tens of thousands of people and is the sub-center of Yizhou. The nightlife is also rich in variety.
Along the way, the light from the buildings on both sides of the road is enough to illuminate the situation underfoot.
After walking for about two cups of tea, Chu Tang and his party left the north gate of Nancheng and walked on the official road to the south gate of Qingcheng.
A mile or two ahead, the world is full of fireworks, and not far away are some villages and towns surrounding Nancheng.
It had just rained heavily all afternoon, driving away all the heat and leaving the surroundings cool and cool.
Not far away, cicadas chirped intermittently.
It's a good time to hit the road!
Since it was less than twenty miles away from Qingcheng, Chu Tang no longer asked Zhou Xiang to lead people to explore the way ahead. They all gathered together, held torches, and carefully guarded Su Qingyue's carriage.
Riding on the horse, his body bumped up and down as the horse walked, Chu Tang finally had time to take stock of the gains and losses from the fight with Cheng Feng and others:
To be honest, he was not surprised or proud of defeating Cheng Feng and others.
After all, his true strength is in the fifth realm. If he can't win four of the four realms, that would be a big joke.
But the process really surprised Chu Tang.
The Cheng family's four-image battle formation really opened his eyes to a different way of swordsmanship.
but……
"Although the sword formation is good, it is too harsh on those who use it and cannot be popularized on a large scale. In addition, this battle formation uses heavy swords. Although with mutual support, it makes up for the shortcomings of ordinary heavy swords that cannot last, but I’m still afraid of a protracted struggle.”
This is also true. After he regained the magical power of wedding clothes and became good at long-term battles, he killed indiscriminately and the four people who used the battle formation soon fell at a disadvantage.
Such a formation does not require too much attention.
"If it were four battle formations of five realms or four six realms, it would be terrifying..."
how can that be possible!
The Cheng family is only a Sixth Realm family. It takes thirty years to train people who can command the battle formation. It is estimated that the Four Realm battle formation is already their limit. It is difficult to reach the sky in the Five Realms. As for the Sixth Realm...
It’s simply a fantasy!
Putting aside this battle formation, the only people from the Cheng family who could threaten him were probably the masters of the Sixth Realm.
Well, in the fifth realm, under the same realm, Chu Tang, who has accumulated so many perfect Qinggong movements, still has invincible self-confidence!
The six realms are tricky, but not scary.
If you can't beat him, you can still run.
Even if you can't run away, once the Tiangang Disintegration Technique is used, you can still destroy the opponents in the six realms.
This is why Chu Tang dares not to give any face to Cheng Feng.
It's just a Six Realm family. After arriving in Qingcheng and bringing Su Qingyue safely to the academy, without such a big burden, and then getting rid of Zhou Xiang's gang, will he still be afraid of a mere Six Realm family?
At that time, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly, and the sea will be wide enough for fish to jump!
He must be compassionate if he doesn't go to trouble the Cheng family.
"Cheng family, I hope you are not ignorant!" Chu Tang murmured to himself.
He thought he was very restrained tonight.
Although Cheng Feng was hurt, the other party's life was not in danger after all, it was just a loss of their face.
If such lenient treatment still fails to earn the Cheng family's gratitude and they still want to pester him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Today, Chu Tang has become the compassionate Bodhisattva and the angry-eyed Vajra!
"But I still have to thank Cheng Feng and others for their warmth..." Chu Tang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the chivalry value on the panel.
Capture five people from the four realms and gain a total of 2,500 chivalrous points.
It would cost 1,200 points to re-upgrade the Wedding Clothes Magic Skill.
This wave, there is still a balance of 1,300 points.
Including the more than 2,900 points saved before, the total chivalry value now is more than 4,200 points!
Not only did he gain weight, but he also regained the magical power of wedding clothes that he had always used!
"The Magical Art of Wedding Clothes..." Chu Tang was excited and suddenly had a whim, "After all the perfect magical skills of Wedding Clothes were transferred, Xu Jin was created in the third realm. Now that the Magical Art of Wedding Clothes feels more pure, is it still the same? Can I transfer it to someone else?"
Chu Tang once again thought of his previously unrealistic idea - to use the magical power of wedding clothes to mass-produce low-level warriors.
In other words, we have to continue to pluck the wool out of the panel!
"Forget it! It's not easy for me to accumulate some chivalry points." Chu Tang shook his head violently to drive away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
"Huh? It doesn't seem right!" Chu Tang's thoughts got stuck.
"Before, the Nine Yin Manual was only a small level of achievement, and there are still two small levels before perfection. Then... how can the Wedding Clothes Divine Art be upgraded to perfection in one go?"
In the past, if the difference between the two internal powers was more than two realms, it would be impossible to upgrade the higher realm, and the two would have to be upgraded in a balanced manner.
But now the magical power of wedding clothes breaks this rule!
Chu Tang diverged his thoughts: "Is it because you have perfected the magic skill of wedding clothes before, so you are not subject to this restriction? As long as the chivalry value is enough, you can upgrade it to the highest level?"
This is probably the only way it can be explained.
But what the heck!
It’s a good thing anyway!
Chu Tang happily accepted the benefits provided by the panel, and even wished for more benefits.
Thinking and wandering all the way, they walked for more than an hour. At Hai hour, they stopped.
The south gate of Qingcheng is visible to the naked eye!
