The river flows calmly, and from time to time birds fly across the water, making ripples in circles.
Wanruo pointed to the river and explained: "About 30% of the wood in our Shiwang Valley is transported to Qingguo Town below through this river, where it is processed into wooden boards and transported to various parts of the dynasty. Finally, it is made into various sizes by the Shoucheng Store. The coffin. It turns out that brother Dan, the king of faintness, is responsible for the sales of the boards, and Lengjiang, the king of ghosts, is responsible for the management of our longevity wood stores in various places in the Raja Ampat Valley. I am mainly responsible for the contact and interaction with the outside world. Since brother Shan was poisoned, the wood has also been controlled by Leng Jiang will handle it."
Gu Shengchao asked curiously: "Are all longevity food stores in the dynasty run by Shioji Valley?"
Wan Ruo shook his head: "The dynasty is too big for the small Shioji Valley to bear, and there are rare goods to live in, so we can't just sell them. We mainly sell processed boards, and each state and county also has a certain amount of longevity materials belonging to Shioji Valley. There are not many stores, but they are mainly for the convenience of internal communication and information collection in the Raja Ampat Valley.”
"That's it." Gu Shengchao nodded repeatedly. He glanced at Wanruo inadvertently and saw her looking at him lovingly. He was startled, thinking that she was overflowing with emotions again. He had nowhere to escape and had to secretly Complain.
Seeing the clues in his eyes, Wan Ruo pinched him fiercely and said, "What are you thinking? I'm scaring you. I was thinking that back then, your glib talk was useless. I didn't realize that you were good. You were the owner of the valley." I thought you had a bright future and tried my best to encourage you, so I reluctantly agreed, but I never expected that the more I looked at it, the more I would like it."
Gu Shengchao snorted: "I've noticed it a long time ago. He tied me up on the way here and slapped me so hard that even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't believe you would marry me."
Wan Ruo reached out and twisted his ears.
"Oh, oh!" Gu Shengchao jumped up in pain.
Letting go, Wan Ruo sneered: "Regret? It's too late. At that time, the owner of the valley planned to let you share some of Lengjiang's affairs. Fortunately, Brother Shan can return to his old career after he recovers, so you don't have to think about going elsewhere. ”
"Then what else can I do?" Gu Shengchao was puzzled.
Standing solemnly, she regained her heroic demeanor in an instant. Wanruo looked forward with her head held high and her chest raised: "I will support you for the rest of my life, and you can't go anywhere."
"Wouldn't this make me a pretty boy?" Gu Shengchao said aggrievedly.
Wan Ruo smiled, pinched his cheek and said, "I'm glad. I didn't know how good it was to be young before, but it was only after you were thirty years old that I realized you were a treasure. Now I'm curious about a pretty boy like you. What's wrong?"
"It's okay, as long as you like it." Gu Shengchao really didn't dare to make a mistake. The tenderness revealed in Wan Ruo's domineering attitude made Gu Shengchao feel a little weaker in his heart and he couldn't be tough in front of her.
After walking about three miles, Wanruo pointed to the small town surrounded by trees in front of him and said, "We're almost there. Our Qingguo Town is ahead."
Before anyone arrived, the two people had already heard the sounds of fighting and the "ding-dong" sounds of weapons clashing.
Wan Ruo realized something was wrong and jumped over first, followed closely by Gu Shengchao.
There is an open space in the middle of the town, the terrain is flat, and there are more than 40 carriages parked. The two carriages are connected end to end, with many wooden boards laid on them, and two horses are pulling them in front. All the horses stopped and turned their heads to pay attention to the melee on the side.
More than thirty men dressed in short skirts, holding different weapons, were fighting with more than ten people in gorgeous clothes. The group with short skirts saw that there were many people, but they were at a disadvantage. There were three corpses of their own people lying on the ground. The group with gorgeous clothes had fewer people, but they were ruthless. They came to a decisive battle with the mentality of killing all the opponents. On the other hand, the group with short skirts There were many people, and he was hesitant to take action, as if he was afraid of something.
The Wanruo sword is held in her right hand, and the murderous aura spreading makes people shudder. Her swordsmanship is originally superb, and there is no need to use Fengwu swordsmanship. Everyone in the cold air couldn't help but change their expressions. Those with short skirts seemed to have seen a savior. A man shouted: "The Night Charm King came just in time. Please judge."
The man was so focused on shouting that he forgot that it was a life-and-death battle. The other party's nine-ringed sword struck at his head. Wan Ruo was shocked and it was too late to help. She just shouted: "Brother Bao, be careful!" She couldn't bear it. Seeing the tragic scene, I couldn't help but close my eyes.
After a moment, Wanruo didn't hear the sound of flesh and blood being separated. She opened her beautiful eyes. The man wielding the nine-ring sword stood motionless like a sculpture. The man was out of danger and looked at the strange scene in front of him. Shocked.
Wanruo suddenly realized that it was Gu Shengchao who used the Five Soul Array to trap his man. She was annoyed that she knew how to do it, but she forgot about it at the critical moment, and almost caused the man to lose his life in vain.
The one wielding the nine-ringed sword was wondering why he was suddenly unable to move. Suddenly he found that he could move again and slashed out of thin air with the sword in his hand. Instead of assessing the situation and weighing the pros and cons, he raised his sword and swiped at the person next to him. As soon as he used his strength, his eyes blurred when he saw a palm coming towards his face. He had no time to dodge before he was slapped hard. The man was immediately beaten until his eyes were crooked and his mouth was crooked, and he flew backwards.
"Stop it all!" Wan Ruo shouted sharply, the long sword in his hand moving forward with his body, instantly blocking five or six pairs of opponents who were fighting desperately.
The ancient sage Chao was not to be outdone. With his iron arm magic and Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm, wherever he went, he was like wind and clouds, unstoppable.
The two men rushed to kill each other, and both parties in the melee returned to their respective positions and stopped the dispute.
"King Ye Mei, you came at the right time. You are so polite." The man who was almost killed just now stepped forward to salute. He glanced at the ancient sage and said, "This young hero is very skilled and is the new recruit of King Ye Mei." Be a great disciple!"
Wan Ruo smiled, like a shy bride: "Brother Bao, this is my newlywed husband. I haven't had time to introduce him to you yet."
Bao Da was in a trance for a moment. When he saw Wan Ruo's gorgeous robe, she was no longer the old girl in black. He immediately came back to his senses and apologized: "I am blind, and I hope that King Ye Mei will forgive me. But what about King Ye Mei's wedding?" You don’t want to inform us, the Quan Gang, so we can just enjoy ourselves and send you the congratulatory gifts as well.”
Looking at Gu Shengchao tenderly, Wan Ruoxing said: "I reluctantly got married after I was thirty years old. If I say it out and make everyone laugh, I will just drink and have fun by myself. I won't bother you all to run away."
The guy who wielded the nine-ring sword was left out. He rubbed the sore face from the slap just now. He carried the knife with a shy face and swaggered forward and said majestically: "It turns out you are a newly married young lady. Do you know who I am?"
Without looking at him, Wan Ruo said coldly: "I don't know, and I'm not interested."
Wanruo has seen this kind of bully behavior a lot. The more you go up the pole to beg him, the more he will ignore you. If you don't have a good attitude toward him, he will become more proactive and don't need to worry about you.
Sure enough, the man didn't bother himself and said proudly: "I am Mi Gang, the west envoy of King Wu Palace. Have you heard that there are only four envoys of King Wu Palace, and I am one of them."
"Yes, one of them, the Eastern Envoy, is said to have died without a burial place. I have heard of this." Gu Shengchao looked down upon such bullies and snorted coldly.
Mi Gang thought that the other party would be respectful, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, do you want to rebel? We have been observing this place for several days, and they are all processing the best coffins in Shio Valley. I'm sure It has something to do with the Four Kings Valley. With just one word from me, your place will be littered with corpses and burned to the ground. Do you believe it or not?" He glared at Gu Shengchao, threatening.
Wan Ruo cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that he is the envoy from the West of King Wu's palace. He was not welcomed from afar. It's just that we are in a remote and remote country. We are all small businesses. How can we withstand the torment? The envoy from the west is laughing at us."
Chao Wanruo took a few steps closer, Mi Gang said with a squinted look: "Young ladies can still talk, let's do this. From now on, our Wuwang Palace will accept all your coffin boards. The price can be easily negotiated. It doesn't matter if it is doubled, so As long as good things pass through the hands of our King Wu Palace, they can be sold no matter how expensive they are. What do you think, young lady?"
"Should we give you money or banknotes? We are a small temple and have to support a family." Wan Ruo didn't get angry with Mi Gang and directly discussed money.
The first time he met someone who dared to bargain with Wuwangdian, Mi Gang looked at her in surprise: "We at Wuwangdian never bargain. Just reach out and take the things you see, and someone will naturally take care of it. Why, don't you want to toast and not eat?" A penalty drink?"
Wan Ruo said politely: "Since ancient times, livestock and horses have been ignored by chickens and dolphins. The family that cuts ice does not livestock cattle and sheep. King Wu's family has a big business, so how can they care about our small business?"
Mi Gang spat on the ground and said arrogantly: "No matter how small the ants are, they are still meat. I have taken a fancy to these coffin boards today. Either take them all away, or the little lady will accompany us. Maybe we will be happy on the way. I can spare you people."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh evilly.
Ancient Sage Chao had been furious for a long time, and now he could no longer hold back and rushed towards Mi Gang.
Realizing that the murderous aura was coming over him, Mi Gang had never suffered a loss relying on the Wuwang Palace. At this time, he was even more like a cooked duck, and his mouth was still very hard.
He pointed the knife at Gu Shengchao and threatened: "Don't mess around. I am the envoy of King Wu's Palace West. If I have any good intentions, I will definitely make your place become a river of blood."
An afterimage flashed by, and Gu Shengchao had already appeared in front of Mi Gang, and said coldly: "Really, the steel cone in the hand of the Eastern Messenger Liao Weikang appears and disappears. Do you know how he died?"
No matter how stupid Mi Gang was, he understood the meaning of Gu Shengchao's words at this time. The biggest advantage of this kind of person is that he is thick-skinned. The calculations afterwards were cruel and ruthless.
He immediately flattered him and said, "Hero, spare your life. We have something to discuss. We were just joking."
"It's too late." Gu Shengchao's face was expressionless, and he broke Mi Gang's neck with his lightning-like strike.
It was unexpectedly smooth, but Gu Shengchao found it strange. He had many difficulties in dealing with the east envoy Liao Weikang, but he did not expect to defeat the west envoy Mi Gang. He had never considered that during this period of time, his martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds, far beyond what he could compare with in the capital, so he naturally felt the opponent's shortcomings.
Bao Da and Wan Ruo looked at each other, and he was also eager to try a pair of axes in his hands.
"Kill!" Wan Ruo was decisive in killing and gave the order directly, wielding his sword and taking the lead bravely.
Just now he was worried about the background of King Wu Palace, so Bao Da didn't dare to attack. Now he was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and blood spattered out every time the ax struck.
The people of the Quan Gang worked together, and without Gu Shengchao taking any further action, those who seemed to have the upper hand just now were killed one after another in an instant. The bright and beautiful appearance is just a habit of relying on the fake power of King Wu, and everyone is just showing mercy to them.
One person lifted up the curtain of the carriage next to the road and said in surprise: "There is another person here."
"No one will be left alive." Bao Da understood that today's matter must not be known to King Wu Palace, and must be eradicated without any hidden dangers.
"Wait a minute!" Gu Shengchao shouted loudly. He felt that the breath in the carriage was familiar, and he forgot where he had seen this person before.
He ran over to identify him, and saw that the man in the carriage was covered in blood and flesh, with only a trace of breath left. Gu Shengchao couldn't help but turned pale and said in shock: "Is it Fan Lixin, Brother Fan?"
