Zhao Chen originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but he saw that the master's interest was waning. He changed his usual "show off" style and had no interest in talking about this.
Maybe something unfortunate happened to the master's friend, or maybe the master is sad that he can no longer fight side by side... No matter which one, mentioning it at this time is tantamount to exposing the master's scars.
While his mind was spinning, Zhao Chen changed the subject "considerately" and said: "Master, the person who just rescued Chai Yugong is the 'Qinglian Sword' Li Fuyan who is number one on the 'Jade Gate Talents List', right?"
This is also the only supernatural monk on the "Jade Gate Talents List".
It's not that Li Fuyan has the only "supernatural power" in the huge Yumen County, but he is the only one under the age of sixty who has magical powers.
At this time, Huang Xianjun also realized that he was a little embarrassed in front of his apprentice, so he adjusted his mood while stroking his beard, nodded and said:
"The purple sword mixes with the red essence, and the red light spits out the green lotus. The three-foot sharp edge of Xi Zai turns into floating smoke.
"This Li family's magical power did not practice the 'Five Emperors True Sword', but wanted to combine it with the Li family's basic skill "Qinglian Sword Song" before obtaining the 'Five Emperors True' great magic power. In the 'Red Emperor Yangyuan' On the basis of "Sword Qi", a new magical path was created on its own...
"Unfortunately, he succeeded, but also failed."
"How do you say it?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
The sword that the opponent just slashed at Wang Daoyi contained the killing intention of "Taibai Star". Although he did not attack with all his strength, Zhao Chen felt that if "Xingcha" did not seal Wang Daoyi's blood, he would never be able to take it.
"That is to say, he successfully pieced together a fourth-grade magical power, 'Qinglian Floating Smoke Sword', but it is no better than the Li family's original fourth-grade magical power, 'Qinglian Sword', and the training conditions are extremely harsh. So far, except for him , No one else has succeeded." Huang Xianjun explained with a smile, "But even so, a person like this who can find a new path on his own is also a genius."
No wonder there is a couplet in his poem title: "It's a pity that the three-foot sharp edge is so beautiful, my delusion turns into floating smoke"... I guess this senior is laughing at himself, right?
At this time, the two caravan members had already lifted the box containing "Yan Hongxia" and began to disembark.
Zhao Chen stared at their movements and asked casually: "What about the other female's 'supernatural power'?"
"I don't know... maybe they are from outside... Judging from their appearance, they are most likely disciples from aristocratic families or Shangzong who are practicing in the clouds." Huang Xianjun knew what his apprentice was paying attention to, so while speaking, he pulled him to follow the two Caravan members carrying boxes.
"When I was in Bingquan Town, I heard that a distinguished female knight came to Yumen County and was personally received by the deacon of the Li family..." Zhao Chen said thoughtfully.
I heard this from Xiaosi Fengqu on the day of time travel.
The master and apprentice got off the boat while chatting, and then each led a group of subordinates through the bustling street from the pier to the city gate and entered the city.
There is no drama like in ordinary story books where the gatekeepers are trying to get cards.
When Zhao Chen was still lamenting how the Yumen County officials managed the Qingming Festival, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the gun team behind him, all armed with guns, and he suddenly realized.
After entering the city, the Fire Gun Team and martial arts disciples escorted the goods and headed straight to the west of the city. Finally, they stopped at the entrance of an alley called "Shenjing Alley" and entered a courtyard at the end of it.
This is one of the properties owned by the Zhao family in the county town, and is now regarded as an investment by the two companies to jointly develop a "business road" for the "Golden Dart Martial Arts School" to locate.
As the "homeowner", Zhao Chen first chose an independent small courtyard as his residence, and then directed the caravan personnel to carry the box containing "Yan Hongxia" into his bedroom.
Only then did he relax a little.
But before he could move Sister Hongxia to the bed, Xiaosi Fengqu came over to report:
"Master, Shopkeeper Lin is here to see you and Master Huang."
Shopkeeper Lin's name is Lin Ruxiang, and he is another assistant assigned to him by his cheap father. He was sent to the county in advance to serve as a front line.
"I got it." Zhao Chen nodded slightly, locked the box again, and then came to the front hall with Feng Qu.
At this time, in addition to Hall Master Huang Xianjun and Senior Brother Feng Cang, there was also a woman who looked to be in her thirties in the front hall.
This woman's hair was tied up, she wore light makeup, and she was wearing a chest-length skirt and a coat with small sleeves, highlighting her capable and mature "ancient business" style.
However, his eyebrows are too sharp, which intuitively gives people a "very powerful" feeling.
This is the shopkeeper Lin Ruxianglin who was hired by the original owner's mother to help her manage the dowry industry.
Zhao Chen first saluted briefly and called "Aunt Lin", then seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the hall, and then asked: "What happened?"
"There is indeed something going on. We are listening to Shopkeeper Lin explain the reason... Chen'er, please come and listen too." Huang Xianjun didn't look too nervous and just nodded.
Senior Brother Feng said angrily: "It's about the Dunhuang 'trade route'... We may have been tricked by the Chen family!"
"What exactly happened?" Zhao Chen asked in a solemn voice.
"There are several escort agencies and martial arts schools that have taken a fancy to this 'trade route' and want to fight for it according to the 'rules of the rivers and lakes'. They have also invited the Yumen Chamber of Commerce to be a 'witness'..."
"I'm afraid the Chen family gave it to us because they were unable to keep this trade route." Shopkeeper Lin felt helpless when he said this.
Although she is good at dancing, she is helpless about "jianghu affairs". This is why the Zhao family needs to cooperate with the Jinbao Martial Arts School.
The so-called "rules of the rivers and lakes" actually rely on competition to compete for the ownership of interests. However, the losing party is not without any guarantee, and will at least receive a large amount of compensation.
Of course, Zhao Chen and others can also ignore this "rule", but accordingly, they will encounter many invisible constraints when doing business in Yumen in the future.
After listening to Shopkeeper Lin's explanation, Zhao Chen frowned, looked at the master and said, "Do you think we should accept this challenge?"
"Of course I have to take it." Huang Xianjun stroked his beard and smiled, and continued, "Even the Chen family can keep the trade route for many years. It shows that the forces fighting for it are not too strong. I should be able to handle it with my old bones. come over.
"Also, I guess those forces will apply to ban fire blunderbuss during martial arts competitions."
"Why?" Before Zhao Chen could ask, Senior Brother Feng asked in surprise.
"Since they are launching a challenge at this time, they must have inquired about the current situation of our Golden Dart Martial Arts School... Using fire blunderbuss, doesn't it narrow the gap with us?" Master Huang said with a smile.
"That's right, they don't know that I can successfully 'build the foundation' and cultivate my true energy within two or three days. They also don't know that Junior Brother Zhao has opened up the Twelve True Meridians a few days ago..." Senior Brother Feng's eyes lit up. Then he cupped his fists and said, "If something happens, I will do my best...Master, I will apply to fight on your behalf this time."
Zhao Chen was also a little eager to give it a try. After all, he had never had a serious fight with anyone since he entered the True Qi Realm, and a competition with forbidden fire guns was not too dangerous, so it was just right.
And even if she loses, it doesn't matter. When Sister Hongxia wakes up, the worst thing she can do is let those guys who talk about "the rules of the world" know what "collusion between government and businessmen" is.
