The strong man suddenly pulled out the short blade hidden in his arms, and then shouted to the people around him: "Come together and kill this stinky girl!"
Upon hearing the strong man's instructions, several people nearby suddenly looked fierce and surrounded the young woman Shang Tianlin in the center.
"What do you want to do?" Shang Tianlin's face sank when she saw this scene: "Want to win with less and play more rogues?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you stinky girl. Either you die or I live today!" At this moment, the strong man pointed at Shang Tianlin like a barking mad dog and shouted: "Everyone, get on top of me--"
"Stop, are you still acting like a man when you do this?!" Before he finished speaking, a dark figure jumped up to the high platform. This person was Guan Heng. He moved and stopped in front of Shang Tianlin, and then he had a sullen face. He said sternly to the group of people: "Hezhong wants to bully a young girl. Get through me first!"
"You bastards are meddling in their own business, let's kill them together!" Once this group of scoundrels abandoned their sense of shame, they could do any bad thing. They pulled out the weapons they carried, and immediately surrounded a man and a woman, and then started onslaught.
"Girl, you just had a fight, let's take a rest first." After Guan Heng said this, he didn't even look at Shang Tianlin. As soon as he moved, he was "buzzing" in the crowd. They shuttled back and forth, punching and kicking, and with every move, a scoundrel would fall to the ground howling miserably.
When the people in the audience saw Guan Hengyi's attack, they cheered non-stop: "Hey, this young man is very skilled, he fought well!"
The young girl named Shang Tianlin also had a trace of gratitude in her eyes. At this moment, Guan Heng had already kicked all the thugs off the wooden platform. At this time, the strong man still wanted to fight the trapped beast. , pointed the short blade in his palm at Guan Heng and said, "I'll fight you!"
"screw you!"
"Pa!" In an instant, Guan Heng's legs were like lightning, and he hooked his toes to hit the opponent's wrist. The short blade flew into the air amidst the strong man's scream of "Ouch!", and he himself was also kicked by Guan Heng. He kicked off the wooden platform and fell to pieces!
"Bah, you shameless guy, let's beat him up!" At this time, everyone onlookers saw the advantage. They punched and kicked me, beating the strong man and his men until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, making them cry and howl.
In the end, these boys managed to crawl out of the crowd, and the strong man shouted angrily: "Damn girl, brat, I will remember you, and I will have to settle this debt with you sooner or later!"
At this moment, Shang Tianlin and Guan Heng stepped down from the ring at the same time, and immediately informed each other of their names. Shang Tianlin said with a smile: "Brother Guan is really good at it. Thank you for your help, sister."
"Seeing uneven roads, it's just a matter of effort." Guan Heng smiled at this moment: "Hahaha, Miss Shang is not weak. In fact, even if I don't take action, those boys are not worthy of hurting you."
"Haha, Brother Guan is really good at talking." Shang Tianlin was about to say a few more words of gratitude, but Agou and Tunguihu came over at this moment, and he raised his voice and said: "Hey, Guan Heng, you can Just go up and have a good time, but don't call me..."
Hearing this, Guan Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't say that, I went up to save people. If Brother Gou, you are too harsh, someone will die."
Then, Guan Heng introduced Agou and Shang Tianlin. Shang Tianlin asked: "Brother Guan, Brother Agou, what are you doing here?"
"Us?" Agou scratched his head and said, "Guan Heng said that if we want to continue traveling north, we need something called a 'goods shell', so he said he brought me here to pick up the mission. Make some money."
Guan Heng also nodded and said, "Well, Brother Gou is right."
"That's it..." Shang Tianlin's eyes glanced at the fat ghost-swallowing tiger behind Guan Heng and the tall and strong man Agou. She suddenly said: "Two eldest brothers, are you willing to go with me?" Shall I go on a mission to collect nine-leaf grass together?"
"Do you want us to go together?" Guan Heng blinked and said, "I have no objection, of course."
"Well, it's decided that the three of us will complete this task together." Shang Tianlin said with a smile at this time: "The three hundred bucks as reward for the task will be divided equally when the time comes."
Shang Tianlin had two considerations in letting Guan Heng and Agou participate. First, it was to repay Guan Heng for helping him. She could tell that Guan Heng had a good heart, good skills, and was trustworthy. Secondly, the Agou next to Guan Heng is obviously not weak, and with the help of giant beasts like the Ghost Swallowing Tiger, the safety level is greatly improved.
After that, Shang Tianlin took Guan Heng and the others to Xingshang's residence to pick up the task. On the way, she told Guan Heng exactly how difficult it was to collect nine-leaf grass.
That kind of nine-leaf grass, with a total length of three feet, square stems, yellow flowers, and red fruits. Whether it is rhizomes, branches, flowers, or fruits, it is a precious nourishing herb that can prolong life and treat internal and external injuries. It lives in the three ancient countries. The wealthy gentry and nobles all like this kind of things, so merchants will buy them at high prices.
At this moment, Shang Tianlin said to Guan Heng: "Because I live in a small tribe in the mountains and often hunt and collect herbs, I know the whereabouts of Nine-leaf Xuncao, but..."
As soon as Shang Tianlin said this, everyone had already arrived at the residence of the merchants. When they saw the front door, Shang Tianlin said with a smile: "Let's go in and take over the mission first. I'll tell you about the other things later."
The three people arrived at the door to announce that they had already been greeted by several businessmen. It seemed that Shang Tianlin was very familiar with these people. After the two parties greeted each other warmly, Guan Heng and others were welcomed into the house. .
The merchants who sent out the mission this time were the three Wan brothers, Lao Liu, and Lao Zhao. By this time, everyone had already started talking in the room.
Boss Wan said on behalf of several merchants: "Miss Tianlin, this is not the first time you have taken on the task of collecting nine-leaf grass. Needless to say other nonsense, we want the best fifteen plants this time. Nine-leaf grass."
"Ten or fifteen plants?"
When Shang Tianlin heard this, her eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she immediately said: "Uncle Wan, we are all acquaintances, so I won't hide it from you. The risk of collecting nine-leaf grass is getting higher and higher recently. Not only because there are cliffs there, but there are also several particularly ferocious monsters that live there, so we cannot collect as many as fifteen plants in the outer area."
Speaking of this, Shang Tianlin said with a look of embarrassment: "If I have to go so far, I can only sneak into the cave where the most powerful monster lives, because only at the end of the cave can a large nine-year-old tree grow. Ye Xuncao, but in this case, I am gambling with my own life, uncle, I don’t want to die so early."
The implication is that Shang Tianlin does not want to take the great risk of death for three hundred shells. At this time, the five merchants, you look at me, I look at you, there are very ugly expressions on their faces. color.
