Chapter 307 Central Plains Kyushu, brilliant talents
Sensing the fighting spirit of the sheathed magic weapon in his hand, Chu Tang, who was about to walk towards Feng Jianqi, immediately stopped and looked at the young man next to Feng Jianqi.
Upon closer inspection, I found that the other person was still young, around thirty, with a calm face, like a calm lake, but his eyes never lacked determination, as vast and deep as the sea.
In addition, his body is as straight as a sword, exuding a faint sword spirit, like an eye-catching vortex, making people unable to help but turn their attention to him.
Fighting back the fighting spirit rushing in his heart, Chu Tang looked at Feng Jianqi.
Feng Jianqi then took a few steps forward, pulled Chu Tang aside, and asked in a low voice: "Boss Chu, no matter what your situation is, you are still injured and you still kill the thief. Feng remembers that you are not a murderous person!"
Chu Tang said with a smile: "Isn't it because I saw the brothers in Yiwei working hard and was afraid of causing more damage? But Chu's swordsmanship is not afraid of group battles, so he took action without much thought."
Feng Jianqi was still suspicious. The information he had obtained showed that Chu Tang had always been a person who was unwilling to do anything for profit, but now he has become eager for justice?
There must be something fishy!
But Feng Jianqi also knew that some people had things that were difficult to inquire about, so he had no choice but to accept Chu Tang's explanation and asked: "Boss Chu, are you okay now?"
Chu Tang patted his chest and said, "It's very good!" But he breathed a sigh of relief.
Why would he take down so many thieves regardless of safety?
I really feel like I’ve lost money on this trip and I can’t help but make up for it.
The escape of Tang Jianyuan and others made this undercover trip unsatisfactory and left him with great consequences.
Chu Tang could never forget the angry look Tang Jianyuan looked at him before leaving, and she knew that she would definitely be in big trouble in the future.
Let a person who has perfected the Eighth Realm worry about you and want to kill him quickly. How can he do it easily?
Oh no, it's not just the perfection of the eight realms. Tang Jianyuan spent so much effort, and what he wanted most was the Mirror-Breaking Divine Pill.
Now that the divine pill is in his hands, if it is true as they said, after taking the divine pill, one can improve his level without any obstacles, that means that Tang Jianyuan will soon become the ultimate master of the Nine Realms.
Being hated by an invincible master of the Nine Realms makes people have trouble sleeping and eating.
Thinking about it this way, he really lost a lot of money!
Taking such a big risk and causing such big trouble, what did he get?
The Eighth Realm Kung Fu and the Eighth Level Divine Weapon agreed upon with Zhou Ziyu were forfeited as Master Zhou was abandoned and became a prisoner of the Jianyi Guards.
Even if there was an Eight Realm Kung Fu, if he wanted to master it, it would not be suitable for Chu Tang even in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Thinking about it this way, it’s my grandma’s fault...
Chu Tang was of course very angry, and his way of finding compensation was to capture as many thieves as possible——
These are all shining chivalrous values!
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong during this treasure hunt, Zhou Ziyu hired people to do the hard work, all of whom had cultivation in the third realm, mostly strong men in the fourth realm, and a small number of experts in the fifth and sixth realms.
As long as one of these people is captured, they are worth hundreds of chivalry points. In Chu Tang's eyes, they are simply sparkling treasures.
And without the protection of the masters, they were trapped by the armored guards, and they were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
At this time, with such a cheap good thing, Chu Tang felt that even God would not forgive him if he missed it.
Therefore, even if his body has not yet returned to its peak condition, he is like a fierce tiger, charging into the group of lambs, harvesting chivalry points to his heart's content.
No, after a wave of cool operations, there will be 10,000 to 20,000 chivalrous points on the panel.
Finally he didn't lose so much, which made him feel a little better.
Feng Jianqi naturally couldn't imagine that Chu Tang had such a plan. After asking, he took Chu Tang over and chatted with Zeng Qi and Zhou Jue for a while.
Chu Tang had already heard Feng Jianqi tell the legendary story about Zeng Qi, the Nanhai Qingshan and Mad Sword Scholar, before. What he was more curious about was Zhou Jue's identity.
The Swordsman of the East China Sea is known as the best swordsman in the world.
Luo Changying, the great elder of Luoshen Valley who had various grievances with Chu Tang, was defeated by this person one after another. It was difficult for Chu Tang not to pay attention to him.
Now that his direct disciple was right in front of him, he naturally took a few more glances.
Zhou Jue noticed Chu Tang's strange gaze and said to him calmly: "Brother, that swordsmanship just now was pretty good. Let's compare notes when we have time."
Discuss?
Chu Tang shook his head secretly and asked, "Has Master Zhou ever killed anyone?"
Zhou Jue didn't expect that Chu Tang would ask about this. He was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said: "Zhou has been practicing in seclusion with his master before. He broke through the seven realms a while ago, and then he got permission from his master to travel around the world and compete with others. If there is no grudge, there is no need to kill anyone.”
Chu Tang smiled and shook his head: "Then Chu has no reason to fight with Master Zhou."
"Why?" Zhou Jue was puzzled.
Even Zeng Qi looked at Chu Tang with curiosity, wanting to hear what this meant.
Chu Tang said solemnly: "As a yamen agent, Mr. Chu will only take action when arresting criminals. For other innocent people, Mr. Chu has always done nothing wrong."
Zhou Jue was even more stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed through his calm eyes: "Undercover? Innocent people?"
Zeng Qi laughed and said to Feng Jianqi: "Your subordinates are very interesting! As a warrior, killing and wounding is a common thing. How can there be innocent people! Do you dare to say that your guards have never killed anyone? , Didn’t you kill the wrong person?”
Feng Jianqi couldn't answer this question, so he said helplessly: "Captain Chu is not one of Feng's subordinates."
Zeng Qi sneered: "Is there any difference between the imperial guards and the guards?"
Feng Jianqi couldn't respond anymore, so he could only say: "We all have rules."
Zeng Qi rolled his eyes.
Zhou Jue said to Chu Tang unhappily: "Brother, even if you want to refuse, don't find such a lame perfunctory excuse. Can Zhou still force you to do it?"
Chu Tang said: "What Chu said is also true."
Zhou Jue snorted coldly, becoming increasingly unhappy.
Chu Tang smiled bitterly.
He did not lie. He has always disliked discussing with others.
After all, swords have no eyes, they are just sparring. If you win, you will gain nothing, but if you lose, you will lose blood.
If there is no knight-errant who has killed anyone or committed any other crimes, even if he fights tooth and nail to capture the opponent, the panel will probably not reward him with any chivalry points!
Isn’t that a waste of effort!
For such a thankless task, Chu Tang has always been indifferent and unwilling to do it.
However, this reason is really not enough for outsiders to hear.
Seeing that the two were about to get into a fight, Feng Jianqi quickly smoothed things over and said: "Master Zhou, Squad Leader Chu has been busy catching the rebels these days. He is really tired. Naturally, he has no spare time and mood to argue. You are both young people, and you both He is good at swordsmanship, so I should get close to him if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Young man?" Zeng Qi looked at Feng Jianqi as if he was blind.
Zhou Jue was about thirty years old, and some people believed him when he said he was a young man.
But this Chu Tang's face was sallow, and he obviously looked like a middle-aged man with kidney deficiency. How could he tell that he was younger?
Could it be that Commander Feng is getting old and his eyesight is no longer good?
"Oh!" Feng Jianqi reacted and quickly explained, "Chu Ban wore a human skin mask to hide his original appearance. Chu Ban, will you meet the two heroes with your true appearance?"
Now that things had happened, there was no need to hide his identity. Chu Tang readily reached out and took off the human skin mask with a hiss, revealing his "ordinary" face.
Zeng Qi and Zhou Jue were stunned when they saw it.
He is indeed a young man!
The key is that you are too young!
This Chu Tang looks like he is in his early twenties.
And they had clearly watched carefully just now. This person showed the cultivation level of the Sixth Realm, and he also had a superb swordsmanship.
The six-level warrior in his twenties can be regarded as a genius among geniuses, no less than those monsters.
Zeng Qi and Zhou Jue looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Zeng Qi became a martial artist in the Seventh Realm when he was in his twenties. He even dared to draw his sword against Luo Changying in the Eighth Realm. He was also considered a peerless martial arts genius by others.
Now, he vaguely saw the shadow of himself in Chu Tang.
"Chu...How old is the class leader this year?" Zeng Qi couldn't help but ask.
Before Chu Tang could answer, Feng Jianqi immediately interjected: "He is over 20 this year, almost 21. Right, Leader Chu?"
Judging from his expression, he was quite proud, as if he was proud that someone could restrain Zeng Qi.
"Less than twenty-one?" Zeng Qi took a long breath of air and couldn't help but look Chu Tang up and down.
This is really a younger version of him!
"Hahaha!" Zeng Qi laughed suddenly, "The world says that Liangzhou is barren and not favored by heaven. Compared with other states, there are very few outstanding warriors and very few geniuses. Now it seems that they are all Nonsense!
"In just half a day, a person with a perfect reputation in the Eighth Realm appeared in the world, and a young genius in the Sixth Realm who was in his early twenties appeared here! It is really amazing! Liangzhou Wulin is going to defy the heavens! "
Feng Jianqi laughed and said: "What, you crazy sword scholar are not crazy anymore? Now you know that there is no weak point in the Central Plains Kyushu, right? It is much more powerful than you in Nanhai!"
Zeng Qi looked at Chu Tang, then at Zhou Jue, and sighed: "The nine states in the Central Plains are rich in treasures and talented people. They are indeed much better than those in the South China Sea."
Suddenly, Zeng Qi grabbed Chu Tang and said repeatedly: "Come on, let's talk about your sword technique just now. What is it called, Dugu Nine Swords?"
Chu Tang was startled. As soon as he sensed Zeng Qi's movement, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by the opponent's arm before he could even use his body skills.
He had seen the martial arts of masters of the Eighth Realm, and had fought against Jin Changgong from Luoshen Valley that day. However, Jin Changgong's movement was not only fast, but he was inferior to him in maneuvering in a small space.
But Zeng Qi's catch just now did not reveal his movement skills, but it broke through the limitations of space and time and caught him accurately.
Although the distance was unexpected due to the close distance, Chu Tang still felt a sense of powerlessness.
"This Zeng Qi is not just a simple master of the eighth realm..." Chu Tang remembered Tang Jianyuan's shocking words about Zeng Qi's realm before, "Which realm is it?"
The realm of the Nine Realms?
After being pulled aside by Zeng Qi, the other party really started talking about swordsmanship with him, and then Zhou Jue came over to join in the fun.
These two are the true masters of swordsmanship, and their views on using swords surpass those of most swordsmen in the world.
But Chu Tang, a master who became a master through panel initiation, is much shallower in this regard.
Facing two swordsman masters, he naturally did not dare to talk eloquently, so he had to talk about some principles in the general outline of Dugu Nine Swords.
Fortunately, the theory of forcing the king to win without any moves calmed down the two masters a little, calling the person who created this swordsmanship a great talent.
Of course, the two of them also knew the taboos in martial arts, so they did not ask about Dugu's Nine Swords Heart Technique formulas or anything like that. They just discussed some ideas from a high-level perspective.
Seeing that the three of them were about to mingle, Feng Jianqi began to call on his men to count the thieves and the treasures on the ship.
Looking at the leading ship that was half collapsed and most of its size sunk, Feng Jianqi felt regretful.
He sent people to dive into the water to dig the ship. At that time, he wanted to hinder the progress of the remnants of King Liang, and then attract them to rescue the ship, thereby catching them all.
At the beginning, things went pretty much as he expected. What went wrong later could only be said to be that the enemy was too strong and it was not a crime of war.
Now that these ships have been seized, distressing things are happening one after another: after the big ship in front sank, a lot of treasures also sank to the bottom of the lake. Salvaging them must be a very troublesome task, not to mention laborious, but also time-consuming.
It was very satisfying when he was digging, but Feng Jianqi regretted it very much at this moment: "But don't let Tang Jianyuan kill him with a quick retaliation during the salvage... No, we can't let Zeng Qi go so fast, we have to let him stay." Come down and sit down..."
Well, yes, free bodyguards, don’t use them in vain!
Thinking of this, Feng Jianqi rushed to Zeng Qi and negotiated with him, either begging, pleading or threatening, asking him to stay and help until the treasure from the bottom of the lake was recovered.
Immediately, Feng Jianqi used two large ships as a camp, supplemented by small boats, and used all his manpower. It took nearly five days to salvage the sunken treasure, and then transported all the seizures to the nearest town on the lake.
During this period, a group of guards also built a prison car and loaded all the thieves captured in the prison car, intending to take them back together and wait for the court to punish them.
Among them, Zhou Ziyu, who became a prisoner, received preferential treatment.
After all, his identity was different, and Feng Jianqi planned to find out more information about Tang Jianyuan and others from him.
However, after Zhou Ziyu saw Chu Tang reveal his true appearance in front of everyone, he immediately understood that Chu Tang was indeed an undercover agent of the Jian Yiwei and betrayed them.
For this reason, Zhou Ziyu didn't give Chu Tang a good look for several days in a row. He felt that he had given his affection to the wrong person and was unwilling to say more.
This made Chu Tang, who planned to persuade him to cooperate, very helpless.
After resting for a day or two, more people from the court came to help, and when he was about to set off to escort the treasures and people back to Yuncheng, Feng Jianqi received a piece of information that disrupted all his arrangements.
He found Chu Tang with a look of helplessness and said to him: "Team leader Chu, you can't go back to Yuncheng with us. You... you'd better get out of Liangzhou and escape for your life!"
Chu Tang was shocked and angry: "Commander Feng, what do you mean, crossing the river and burning the bridge, the conditions promised to Chu before will not count?"
Feng Jianqi smiled bitterly: "It's not that Feng doesn't keep his word, there is really nothing he can do... The master of the Luoshen Valley broke through and became the ultimate master of the Nine Realms just a few days ago!" (End of this chapter)
