The night sky gradually faded into a faint blue, and when the first faint ray of morning light appeared in the distant sky, a night passed.
In the ruined temple.
"Hiss~!" Feng Xiao rubbed the back of his dizzy head and moved his stiff neck. He felt that he had been hit twice last night, and the second hit was very heavy.
Fortunately, after taking the healing elixir, the yin energy in the body was also cleared. Although the chest injury was still very painful, it no longer affected normal actions.
At this time, he noticed Han Zhao sitting against the wall, wearing only his underwear. Xu Ling was held in his arms, sleeping soundly, with his lake blue coat covering her body.
"Shh!" Seeing that Feng Xiao was about to speak, Han Zhao signaled him to be silent.
Feng Xiao stood up gently, but Xu Ling was still awakened.
"Grandpa Feng! How do you feel?" Xu Ling relaxed when he saw that Feng Xiao looked much better.
"I feel much better, you and Han Zhao..." Feng Xiao looked at the two of them.
"Yes." Xu Ling nodded shyly, generously admitted the relationship between the two, and returned to her usual straightforwardness.
Han Zhao took the coat handed over by Xu Ling and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Feng, if your injury is not serious, you can take Lingling back to Blackstone City earlier."
"Okay, I have to go back as soon as possible and report this matter to the head of the family." Feng Xiao responded.
"Let's go now." Han Zhao added.
He and Xu Ling talked about many things last night, starting from when she was a child, and then talking about this mission.
The reason why the Zhang family roped in the Su family and the Xu family was because they were transporting a batch of armor.
Han Zhao was also a little surprised when he first heard about it.
No wonder Zhang Linlu always chose remote roads since he left the Black Rock City area. Even if he stayed overnight, he chose a small village in the corner. From the beginning to the end, the troika was under the watchful eye of the Zhang family.
The only omission was to go to Taoyuan Village, a place of death.
It's just that no one would have thought of it if it hadn't been predicted in advance.
Han Zhao had never heard of this in his previous simulations, which meant that they did not stay overnight in Taoyuan Village during that mission.
Whether the departure time is half a day earlier or half a day later, the results will probably be different.
A whole troika of armor is indeed big business.
This thing is not difficult to make, and the cost is not very high. It is just a matter of whether you dare to do it.
The so-called "one armor carries three crossbows, and three armors enter the underworld" is no joke.
But the world is in chaos now, and Han Zhao wouldn't be surprised if someone wants to rebel.
The failure of this mission was a big blow to the three families.
The loss of the armor was not bad, the cost was not so high that the three families could not afford it. The main reason was the loss of the offerings from the Blood Training Realm. It was too fatal!
This involves not only money and resources, but also the cultivation of trust.
Of course, the Xu family's losses were the lightest.
Feng Xiao was injured, but he was still alive after all. A master of Qi and Blood Training in the Blood Realm three times, his vitality was not ordinary and he would definitely be able to recover.
Another one, Sun Yuan, who was indirectly killed by Han Zhao, was only a level up of energy and blood. In the future, with Han Zhao filling his gap, the Xu family would not only not lose money, but also make a profit.
As long as the armor thing is not leaked out, this time it will be considered a business failure and a loss of money for the Xu family.
After learning the inside story, Han Zhao thought of his words last night.
Since this matter cannot be brought to light, the Zhang family and the Su family will definitely not dare to make it public, and the buyers of Yufeng City will definitely not dare to pursue it. Most of them will resolve it privately.
It saved Han Zhao some trouble.
"Junior Brother Han, aren't you going back with us?!" Xu Ling heard what Junior Brother Han meant, and it was clear that he wanted her and Feng Xiao to leave first.
"I still have some things to do, and I will go back after taking care of them." Han Zhao said sternly, Taoyuan Village can still refresh the Yin Qi for two more nights, so it can't be wasted.
Xu Ling's expression relaxed. She just subconsciously thought that Junior Brother Han was not planning to go back.
As for what Junior Brother Han is going to do, she won't ask any more questions.
"Mr. Feng, before you go back, we have to unify our rhetoric first." Han Zhao looked at Feng Xiao.
"Okay." Feng Xiao nodded.
"That's it, the others have to stay overnight, and then during dinner..." Han Zhao informed Feng Xiao and Xu Ling of the prepared remarks.
The whole process was basically true, but it was slightly embellished and the credit was given to Feng Xiao. He was the one who did not agree to stay overnight. It was he who did not eat the food from Chen Liu's family during dinner in the evening, and Han Zhao and Xu Ling were also involved. Didn't eat either.
When the monster finally appeared, only three people who had not eaten the monster's meat escaped from Taoyuan Village alive.
As long as Han Zhao does not reveal his strength, the whole rhetoric can be said to have almost no loopholes.
After all, the apparently strongest person in the team is Feng Xiao. He is also the oldest in Lao Jianghu. It makes sense for him to be a little more reserved when he is away from home, right?
As for Han Zhao not following him back, it was because he was seriously injured and should not move lightly, so he stayed in a nearby town to recuperate.
This is reasonable, right?
"I understand!" Feng Xiao said seriously, and couldn't help but be impressed by Han Zhao. Not only was he strong, but he was also so low-key and knew how to make a fortune in silence.
As the saying goes, "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it." Han Zhao is only 19 years old this year, and he has broken through the blood training realm. His strength can be said to be no worse than that of him who has not eaten monster meat, and he is also so thoughtful.
If Han Zhao hadn't concealed his strength, was very cautious at the same time, and neither Xu Ling nor ate monster meat, the possibility of their entire army being annihilated yesterday was extremely high.
Feng Xiao himself might be able to escape with all his strength, but if he brings Xu Ling with him, the hope of survival will be very small.
...
After watching Xu Ling and Feng Xiao leave, Han Zhao did not rush to Taoyuan Village, but focused on the system panel.
Martial Arts: Hidden Spirit Art (1% entry level at the first level, can be improved), Yin Sha Palm (1% entry level at the first level, can be improved)
Han Zhao wasn't sure how powerful this Spirit Hiding Technique was, but the effect of the Yin Sha Palm was clear without even trying it.
Even Feng Xiao, a master of three levels of qi and blood, was greatly reduced in strength after accumulating a large amount of yin qi in his body.
In particular, Feng Xiao's sword skills can produce fire power, which itself has a restraining effect on Yin Qi, but he still suffered such a misfortune.
One can imagine how obvious the restraint Yin Qi has on warriors.
According to the system's prompts, the Yin Evil Palm can cultivate the Yin-cold power of "the most Yin and the most evil", which is obviously more restrained than ordinary Yin energy against warriors.
The fact that the system, which has always been "eyes higher than its head", can evaluate it as "not small in potential" shows that this 'Yin Sha Palm' is quite extraordinary.
If Han Zhao develops the 'Yin Sha Jin', it will be equivalent to having another trump card against the enemy.
The Yin Sha Palm is not like the one-time explosive secret technique of 'Sword Drawing Technique', which can be used multiple times.
As a 'sword and sword master', the palm technique is the strongest, it makes sense, right?
"The Yuan Soul Pearl is picky, and there is some Yin Sha aura that you don't want, but the Yin Sha Palm should not be picky." Han Zhao's heart moved.
Taoyuan Village can be refreshed two more times. Yuanso Pearl has accumulated a large amount of Yin evil energy, and his Yin energy is enough in a short period of time.
And before Feng Xiao left, Han Zhao remembered what he mentioned last night, so he asked about it.
Feng Xiao said that when he traveled in Yuanchang Fucheng in his early years, he heard about monsters like "blood corpses".
Blood corpses usually appear in places where yin energy and resentment accumulate. It is said that this kind of thing cannot be completely killed. No matter how many times it is killed, blood corpses will appear in the same place again.
Every time a place like this appears, Fucheng will send experts to deal with it.
As for the details, Feng Xiao was only a Qi-blood warrior at that time. Although he was not weak in Fucheng, he still had no access to higher-level intelligence.
"Since the aristocratic family is so powerful, they should know it."
Thinking of this, Han Zhao walked out of the ruined temple and rushed towards Taoyuan Village.
...
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Han Zhao was walking on the mountain path. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard dust flying not far away and a tall and elegant white horse galloping towards him.
The head is thin, the neck is high, the limbs are slender, and the speed is very fast.
"What a horse!" Han Zhao's eyes lit up.
He had seen valuable horses in Black Rock City, but none could compare with this white horse.
Is this a bloody BMW? Isn’t that worth hundreds of gold!
"lecher!"
At this time, a shout came.
Only then did Han Zhao notice that there was a petite girl riding on the horse. She was wearing a light cyan silk embroidered skirt. Her snow-white oval face was no bigger than a palm, which made her jaw pointy. Her childish face looked no more than ten years old. He looks four or five years old.
The girl stepped on the horse's back and jumped down. The dagger at her waist was unsheathed and stabbed Han Zhao's lower body.
Han Zhao raised his eyebrows. Judging from her posture and the action of drawing the sword, she was clearly a young girl with no combat experience.
call out!
Han Zhao moved his left hand to his waist and pulled out the extraction knife from its scabbard. Then he flicked his right hand and the scabbard shot out and flew towards the girl's face.
Snapped!
The scabbard rotated at high speed in the air and slapped the girl hard on the face.
"Ouch!" The girl cried out in pain and fell heavily in front of Han Zhao like a dog chewing mud, raising a cloud of dust.
Han Zhao stepped forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Han Zhao, I wonder why the girl suddenly appeared and attacked me?"
"Han Zhao?" The girl raised her head. Her left cheek was swollen and there was a clear long strip of mark.
"Han Cheng! Stop pretending! I've known you since you turned into ashes!" The girl gritted her teeth and glared at Han Zhao fiercely. She struggled to get up and went to pick up the dagger that fell beside her.
"Girl, do you know my eldest brother Han Cheng? He disappeared when I was six years old and hasn't been home for thirteen years! Have you seen him?"
Han Zhao looked surprised and stepped back.
Ji Baiwei's strength was probably barely at the level of Qi and Blood, which was a very exaggerated qualification for her age, but it was not enough against him.
But why hasn't Ji Zhuling come out yet?
"You..." Ji Baiwei noticed that Han Zhao's expression did not look like he was pretending. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he paused in picking up the sword.
At this time, Ji Bai looked at the portrait of Han in front of her carefully. It was similar to the portrait she saw in her cousin's room. However, if she looked closely, she seemed to be shorter and obviously much more handsome than Han Cheng. younger.
"Are you really not Han Cheng?" Ji Bai was slightly unsure.
"If I were Han Cheng and you had a grudge against me, the knife I should have thrown away just now should have been the knife instead of the scabbard."
Han Zhao smiled and put away the scabbard.
Look at the BMW next to her, then look at what she is wearing, and the jade pendant on her chest.
Mental damages have been settled.
