Regarding Xuan Lingzi's request, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong both agreed and told him not to be polite. Apart from that, if there is anything else you need help with, feel free to ask.
After Xuan Lingzi left, both of them felt a little sad.
While Yuan Kexin was applying the medicinal wine to her brother, he climbed straight up from the ladder at the back of the house to the roof and basked in the sun.
There are some clouds and no wind today, which just makes the sun's rays less intense and the dust does not rise. It is very comfortable!
There is also a chair on the roof, probably brought up by Yuan Mingkong. This guy is also a very particular person who loves to enjoy himself.
Some people are very particular about external things, such as food, clothing, and use. But a truly particular person radiates from his bones, and every word and deed seems to tell the people around him: This is how it should be.
Although this is not necessarily good, let alone right, Zhao Rang is not disgusted. He felt that life was boring enough, and of course he had to find something interesting on his own. Even though it would be troublesome to do this, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable if you just do nothing and just sit idle?
After thinking wildly for a while, Zhao Rang looked to the west.
His eyes were very good, but he could not see through the vast Gobi Desert in the Western Region.
Overall, the Business Alliance is a tolerant place. Even if there are undercurrents and endless disputes, those who want to conduct business in a orderly manner can still gain a foothold.
But when you actually walk into the Gobi Desert as far as the eye can see, this is not the case.
Although there are Dawei people active in the Western Regions, their numbers are pitifully small. Mainly because of the long distance and language barrier.
If a Dawei person doesn't know the dialect of the Western Regions, it can be said that it's difficult to move forward. To put it bluntly, if someone says with a smile that they are going to kill you, people who don’t understand may think that they are treating you to a meal!
If there was no reason to go to such a place, no one would take a step forward.
Of course Zhao Rang had his own reasons.
His reason was not for the so-called battle over luck.
Although this is an excellent statement, if Zhao Rang didn't want to reveal his identity, he would definitely say this to anyone who asked him.
Those who can come to fight for luck will naturally not be ordinary people.
To be honest, although luck is useful to ordinary people, it is not very helpful.
In today's Dawei, although it is far from reaching the point of not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things, it is not too difficult to have a full meal as long as you work hard and don't be lazy.
However, this is what most people want.
If he has enough energy left, he will build a new house, marry a wife, and have a child. All the efforts for the rest of my life will fall on this child.
Therefore, for ordinary people, luck is really useless. If you have too much, you can get by without.
From Yangguan to today, Zhao Rang has been wandering around the border between Dawei and the Western Regions for more than ten days, and he has some understanding of this "luck".
Maybe this thing is not a concrete thing, and it is not as magical as it is said to be.
The reason why these wealthy families and even the royal family send their descendants to the Western Region is actually because this place is too chaotic and complicated. As long as he comes, he will definitely not be able to stay alone and will be involved in some troubles.
After everything is resolved one by one, if we can still return from the Western Regions smoothly, wouldn't it mean that we are lucky?
Zhao Rang felt that he was right, so he was relieved about the occurrence of these incidents.
Once you come, you will feel at ease, and the place where you feel at ease is your hometown. There is not much difference between the Western Region and the Northern Territory. On the contrary, you can appreciate the majesty and majesty of another world!
As noon approached, the sun became even brighter, making Zhao Rang unable to sit still on the rooftop, so he prepared to go back inside to cool off for a while.
As soon as I got up, I suddenly saw dust flying at the end of the northwest horizon, as if there were many people and horses rushing on their way.
This place is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Northern Territory of Dawei. It is normal for people to come and go on weekdays.
After the Western Region Merchant Alliance increased taxes on Dawei, some merchants were forced to take a different approach, bypassing the Merchant Alliance, and go directly to the Western Region countries for transactions.
Such behavior is of course frowned upon by the Business Alliance.
It can be said that most of the "blood" of the Blood Eagle Warriors comes from these merchants.
But such businessmen are basically independent traders who operate on a small scale. They usually do their own business and do not form gangs. Only when we need to cross the vast Gobi Desert and take big risks, we will spontaneously gather together. There is strength in numbers. Even if it is useless sometimes, it can at least make us feel better.
In order to avoid the merchant alliance's detection, the temporarily gathered caravans stayed day and night, and it was impossible to have cavalry.
Zhao Rang couldn't think of who it was for a moment, so he continued to read.
After about a quarter of an hour, this group of people had no intention of turning, and they were probably heading straight for the Merchant Alliance.
If they turned their horses around and headed east at the previous depression, they would be heading to Yangguan.
At this moment, there was movement in the three-story building where Xifeng Lie was located.
Zhao Rang saw a window opened on the top floor of the attic, and an eagle flew out. After raising its body, it circled in the air and flew towards the direction of the pair of horses.
Seeing this, Zhao Rang quickly came down from the rooftop, returned to the store, and said to Yuan Mingkong:
"Come up and take a look!"
Yuan Mingkong watched for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, but when he heard the eagle flying towards the group of people in the west wind, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The two of them waited on the rooftop for more than half an hour. It wasn't until those people stopped and the smoke receded that they could roughly get some clues.
This group of people numbered no less than a hundred, and they were well-disciplined. They stood under the scorching sun, motionless, as if waiting for the next order.
However, these hundreds of people were all wearing their own casual clothes, with various colors and styles, and no flags were erected in the team, so it was still difficult to distinguish their identities.
After entering the city from the other end, I was quickly obscured by a long street lined with shops, and my whereabouts were unknown.
Zhao Rang rubbed his dry eyes and said to Yuan Mingkong:
"Get some sleep first. Don't you have something else to do tonight?"
The two of them hadn't slept a wink all night, and now they were almost at their limit.
Martial arts practitioners have much stronger energy and energy than ordinary people, but they cannot withstand constant consumption and must seize the time to recover.
Yuan Kexin closed the shop door and asked Zhao Rang and her brother Yuan Mingkong to rest in the house. She sat in front of the window, sipping wine and paying attention to what was going on outside.
As soon as Zhao Rang closed his eyes, it was as if his head had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he fell asleep immediately.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt someone shaking his arm, and there was a faint sound in his ears.
Opening his eyes with difficulty, Zhao Rang saw Yuan Kexin's watery eyes, looking at him intently.
Without hearing what she was saying clearly, Zhao Rang opened his mouth and said:
"Your eyes are so beautiful!"
Yuan Kexin suddenly became a little shy and her face turned slightly red.
Then he took two steps back and said to Zhao Rang:
"Get up quickly, the door..."
"What happened at the door?"
When Zhao Rang heard that her tone was wrong, he immediately got out of bed.
“You’ll know just when you go and take a look!”
Zhao Rang nodded and asked again:
"Where's your brother?"
Yuan Kexin replied:
"He's already awake!"
Zhao Rang hurriedly came out of the house and looked outside the store at the first glance.
I found that there were only two very good horses tied to the horse-stopping stone at the door, and nothing else.
While he was wondering, the tip of his nose twitched and he smelled a strange smell.
Then Yuan Mingkong covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and looked straight at the two things spread out on the ground.
"this……"
Even Zhao Rang was so shocked that he was speechless!
Although Yuan Kexin already knew what it was, she still couldn't accept it... Now she looked at it again, turned around and retched.
"You can see it."
Yuan Mingkong said.
Of course, Zhao Rang had already seen what it was, but he still crouched down, wanting to see it more clearly.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Zhao Rang asked.
"More than an hour."
Zhao Rang thought he slept for a long time, but in fact it was not long.
The shorter the interval, the more unacceptable what happens in front of you!
Especially Taoist Master Xuan Lingzi, who was sitting across from the two of them more than an hour ago, chatting about the principles of heaven and earth, and threatening to severely punish the villains. Unexpectedly, he was now turned into a shriveled skin lying on the ground.
The other skin next to him is that of Jin Sanliang, the deputy chief escort of the Admiralty Escort Agency.
"The two horses came galloping down the street just now. There was a wooden frame tied to the saddle, and their skins were hung on it..."
Yuan Mingkong said.
"There are many bruises on the skin. It should have been caused by someone breaking and tearing off all the bones in the body while he was still alive."
Zhao Rang turned his head and saw that the edges were turned out and extremely irregular. This meant that they were not cut off with a sharp weapon, but pulled with brute force.
The cruelty of the method made Zhao Rang shudder even just thinking about it in his mind.
"Look at him again!"
Yuan Mingkong pointed at Xuan Lingzi's skin and said.
Yuan Lingzi's skin was even more miserable than Jin Sanliang's, with five fist-sized holes burned through his chest.
The strange smell that Zhao Rang smelled just now was this burnt smell.
Jin Sanliang, who was good at hard skills such as the Golden Bell Barrier, had his bones broken and then stripped naked. And the Taoist priest Xuan Lingzi had just announced that he would use the "Five Thunders and Heavenly Fire" to purge the evildoers, but five holes were burned through his chest...
The person who did this wanted to make Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi lose in their best skills and let them humiliate themselves!
"Is it Xifeng Lie?"
As soon as Zhao Rang said it, he shook his head in denial.
With Xifeng Lie's exposed strength, Zhao Rang didn't think he could do this.
If they were really desperate, they wouldn't have heard any noise.
This shows that the martial arts cultivation of the person who took action must be far superior to that of Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi, so that these two people had no room for resistance and lost their lives in an instant.
Zhao Rang said with a solemn expression:
"It seems like there's a big shot in the business alliance!"
