Chapter 359
Just as he was about to dodge, he saw Hall Chief Qiu's interested gaze and couldn't help but smile in his heart. He was wearing a long robe and naturally wasn't afraid of any harm from the silver. He pretended that he didn't know martial arts and didn't know how to dodge. He only reached out to grab it. In the blink of an eye, the silver was in front of Zhang Xiaohua's chest. Just as it was about to hit his body, it suddenly curved and fell down, falling straight to the ground in front of Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua's hand naturally missed. "He's also a hidden weapon expert!"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be a little vigilant.
He smiled as he picked up the silver from the ground and put it into his pocket. He said, "Didn't Sir just want to know what's in the carriage?
That's the 755 catties of rice that Captain Wu's brother-in-law ordered from our village last time. This little one borrowed a carriage to send it to the city. "
"So it's like that." Jiang Heshu was clearly disappointed.
Hall Chief Qiu asked again, "There's only rice in the carriage and nothing else. For example, is there anyone inside?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "How could there be anyone?
Sir must be joking. "
Hall Chief Qiu's expression changed and said, "But when I passed by your carriage just now, I heard the voices of women inside."
Zhang Xiaohua's expression also changed. He thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you have to keep this a secret for me. To be honest, there are two women in the carriage, but they are the lovers of Captain Wu and his brother-in-law. They met in our village and this time, they took this little one's carriage to Tanhe City. This little one knows that Captain Wu and his brother-in-law are men who are afraid of their wives and don't want to get involved in this kind of business. However, they threatened this little one. If this little one didn't take the carriage, they wouldn't let this little one send grain into the city in the future.
This little one is really wronged. "Hearing the two people's heavy breathing in the carriage, Zhang Xiaohua was very happy.
Although Zhang Xiaohua's acting was quite convincing, Hall Master Qiu didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go. He only smiled and said, "This one has met Tanhe City's Captain Wu once and I know his preferences. How about this little brother let this one take a look at his lover's appearance? In the future, this one will be able to imitate her and suit his tastes. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaohua had a troubled look on her face as she said, "How can this do?
That's inappropriate. "
As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his fingers together.
Hall Master Qiu smiled. She fished out another ingot of silver and tossed it to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua casually caught it and said with a smile, "Since they're Captain Wu's friends, it's only natural for us to meet them. Hehe, wait a moment, this little one will have them come down now."
With that, he turned around and walked back to the carriage. Standing beside Huanhuan, he pulled open the curtain of the carriage and said with a smile, "Everyone, please take a look."
When Hall Master Qiu saw Nie Qianyu and Little Orange, who had already changed into village girls' attire, his smile froze on his face as he shouted, "It's … it's the two of them. Men, capture them."
On the other hand, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were nervous and their faces were red. They didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to really pull open the curtain of the carriage. When they saw the five people holding swords, they became afraid.
Before Hall Master Qiu's voice fell, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Hall Master Qiu, I've already answered your question. I've also let you see them. The silver is mine now."
Then, she casually picked up the sword on Huanhuan's back and said sinisterly, "However, you blocked my path and actually saw through my weakness. What face do you have left?
You've embarrassed me in front of this little girl. This is a big problem. Come, come, come. Eat my sword first, then we'll talk about other things! "
With that, she exerted a little force with her right leg and executed the levitation technique. She leaped high into the air, half a body taller than Hall Master Qiu who was riding on the horse. Then, she raised her sword high and slashed at Hall Master Qiu.
When Hall Master Qiu saw Zhang Xiaohua's qinggong, he was shocked. However, when he saw the flaws in Zhang Xiaohua's swordsmanship, disdain appeared in his heart. "A treasured sword is for stabbing, not for slashing."
Then, he casually raised his sword to block.
But the moment the two swords came into contact, a weight as heavy as Mount Tai came from the sword. Hall Master Qiu immediately took a deep breath and forcefully circulated his internal energy, wanting to withstand the weight. Unfortunately, how could he withstand the weight of ten thousand kilograms?
With a "crack", the treasured sword in his hand broke into two. Zhang Xiaohua's sword did not lose its momentum and smashed directly on Hall Master Qiu's shoulder. Then, with a "pu" sound, his shoulder was smashed into a bloody mess and half of his chest collapsed. At the same time, the horse under him also let out a mournful neigh and collapsed to the ground. Then, Zhang Xiaohua lightly tapped the horse's head with her sword. The horse immediately fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
Zhang Xiaohua's sword strike was so powerful that it left everyone present dumbfounded.
Yes, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were first embarrassed and angry, then scared. Then, they saw the ordinary-looking young man who had been with them for a few days fly up high like a god and 'slap' a person who was skilled in martial arts to death on the back of a horse. That strength was so strong that the horse was forced to kneel. Was he still human?
In that instant, the two of them had the same thought in their minds, "Mutant!"
Then, under the watchful eyes of Nie Qianyu and Little Orange, Zhang Xiaohua did not hold back. The moment she landed, she tapped her foot and flew towards another man. The tip of her sword was pointed at that man's chest. That man did not know what to do and was about to dodge. However, Zhang Xiaohua's qinggong was so amazing that before that man could think, her sword had already pointed at his chest. With just a light tap, that man's chest caved in. That man vomited blood and fell off the horse. Zhang Xiaohua kicked the horse he was on and used the momentum to shoot towards another man like an arrow. That horse, however, fell to the ground and could not get up.
In just a short while, the five living martial arts masters and their horses were all lying on the road. Zhang Xiaohua looked left and right, then put the long sword back on Huan Huan's back. He easily cleaned up the mess on the road and threw them far away into the forest by the side of the road. Only then did he clap his hands and return to the side of the carriage.
At this time, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were completely petrified. They looked at Zhang Xiaohua, who was both familiar and strange at the same time. Their eyes were burning with a trace of fear. It seemed that they wanted to say something, but they did not wake up from the bloody scene just now. Zhang Xiaohua ignored them. She put down the curtain and sat cross-legged on the carriage. She patted Huanhuan's butt and Huanhuan ran happily on the road again.
Nie Qianyu and Little Orange heard Zhang Xiaohua muttering to herself, "Is this carriage really so shabby?
It can only run for half a day?
If I had known, I would have kept that guy alive and repaired the carriage for me. Then I would have killed him! "
"Clang!" The two of them flipped over the carriage and did not know what to say.
Fortunately, this place was very close to Tan He City, and the road was much smoother. Zhang Xiaohua finally arrived at Tan He City before sunset, and half a day before the carriage's lifespan was up.
This was a city bigger than Ping Yang City. One could see the prosperity of this city from the bustling crowd. Zhang Xiaohua drove the shabby carriage and entered Tanhe City from the middle of the city gate, as if she did not have the consciousness of a poor person. She did not know if it was the negligence of the city guards or because there were too many people entering and leaving the city as it was getting dark, so they did not find trouble with Zhang Xiaohua.
Since she had entered the city, Zhang Xiaohua felt more at ease. Although Nie Qianyu's opponents were people from the martial arts world, they could not be compared to the officials. The city was full of officials and they had to be wary of them. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua did not deliberately look for a remote inn. She only looked for a few random ones, but none of them were satisfactory. She had no choice but to continue driving the shabby carriage forward.
Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were puzzled. There were obviously a few inns with empty courtyards for them to stay in. Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and walked away. However, Zhang Xiaohua had given them too much of a shock. Not only did they not dare to talk to Zhang Xiaohua along the way, they were still afraid of her even now.
However, in the end, Nie Qianyu could not help but ask, "Hero … Ren, the inns just now obviously had courtyards. Why didn't you stay there?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked back at her and said faintly, "I still have three coins left from the money Little Orange gave me. However, the cheapest inns just now cost at least five coins. How can I stay there if I don't have enough money?
Why don't we stay in the guest room? "
Nie Qianyu frowned and said, "Hero Ren, the Hall Leader seemed to have given you two ingots of silver. It should be dozens of taels. How can you say that it's not enough?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Miss Nie, you are wrong. Those two ingots of silver were for me, not for you. I helped you find an inn, so you should be the one paying the bill."
"You …" Nie Qianyu did not know how to answer this young man who was ridiculously skilled in martial arts but who was so clear about the difference between money and money.
Little Orange, who was behind them, said softly, "Stingy."
After that, she rummaged inside and then threw out an emerald green pouch. She said, "This is Miss Nie's pouch. There is some gold in it. You can spend it however you like."
If it was a few days ago, she would have said, "Keep the rest for yourself."
But today, she did not dare to say this sentence out loud. She could only secretly whisper it in her heart.
Zhang Xiaohua took the pouch and opened it. He said with a smile, "Miss Nie, you are so stingy. You should have taken it out earlier. You even made me go to so many places."
Then he put it in his arms naturally.
With the silver, it was easy to do things. He did not need to search further. He just found a slightly cleaner inn and stayed there.
This night was a little lonely. Nie Qianyu and Little Orange did not dare to joke with Zhang Xiaohua like before and ask him to do this and that. Zhang Xiaohua was also dutiful. He still did not let the waiter enter the courtyard. He only brought in the food and other things, which made them feel a little relieved.
After settling the two girls down, Zhang Xiaohua closed the door and sat in the pitch-black room to meditate and cultivate.
In the small room next to him, the two little girls could not help but whisper in a low voice.
PS: When should he use the long sword?
When picking up girls, how cool is that?
