In front of the entire team, there are four monks, an old man with a calm expression on the seventh level of Qi Refining, who seems to be the central figure, and a big man with a fourth level of Qi Refining, who is also wearing standard armor and should be the leader of the entire team. , the other two young men are both at the third level of Qi Refining.
No wonder Ma Xingchen swallowed this breath forcibly. The number of people in this team was more than twice that of theirs. There were fourteen Qi Refining monks in it alone. Among them, there were even late Qi Refining monks sitting there. Regardless of their size or strength, they were not He can afford it.
Just as the team of knights was about to pass, the two young men in front suddenly grabbed the horses and turned around. The one on the left smiled and said: "Who do I think I am? Isn't this the young master of Mai Town?"
The one on the right made an exaggerated expression of sudden realization and said: "It's true, brother, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought there was a famine somewhere. This one doesn't even have any decent clothes. This one is different from that one." What’s the difference between the fleeing teams?”
Hearing this, the young man on the left laughed loudly and said, "Brother, your words are really appropriate. The more I see them, the more they look alike. Those who come from poor places are different."
Ma Xingchen had long recognized these two people as the twin sons of the mayor of Jusang Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Tongguan Town. The older one on the right is called Ju Jiao, and the smaller one on the left is called Ju Han. It can be seen from the costumes of this team of knights that the scale and strength of Jusang Town is much larger than that of Mai Town. The two places are not very far apart, and they occasionally communicate in private.
Ma Xingchen is about the same age as Ju Jiao and Ju Han. They used to play together when they were children. Of course, most of the time, Ju Jiao and Ju Han teamed up to bully Ma Xingchen. The memory is not very good, so Ma Xingchen came here this time. The last thing Tongcoff County wanted to see was these two people from Jusang Town, but they didn't expect that they were so lucky that they caught up before they even reached the city gate.
Mai Town is remote and small, so the mayor scraped together to get a twenty-man escort for his son. However, his financial resources were limited and he had no armor, weapons, or mounts. He only had a few days of hurried training before departure. At that time, there were a group of people, men, women, old and young, dressed in various costumes, and the chaos looked like an escape team.
Ma Xingchen knew that he couldn't afford to offend these two people, so he could only swallow his breath and said with a cold face: "Ju Jiao, Ju Han, what do you want to do?"
Ju Jiao was riding on the horse, looking down at Ma Xingchen, and said: "It's nothing, I just feel a little strange that with your strength as Young Master Ma, you actually dare to participate in the Holy Son preliminaries, you are not here to make other people laugh. Right? For the Holy Son preliminaries, there are only ten places in the entire Tongcoff County, and there are more than a hundred competitors. Even our brothers don’t dare to hope, why are you here to join in the fun? "
Needless to say, Ma Xingchen knew that he had little hope of winning, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated when he saw Tongcoff County. But without trying it, who dares to say that he can't do it? It took decades for him to have such an opportunity to become a successful person. My father spent countless energy on his own future, and he would work hard no matter what.
Thinking of this, Ma Xingchen said coldly: "You two don't have to worry about whether it's a joke or not."
Ju Han curled his lips and said, "You are so kind as to treat me like a donkey liver and lungs. In that case, let us wait and see to see what you, Mr. Ma, can do to stand out."
After finishing speaking, Ju Jiao and Ju Han pulled the reins and led the group of knights to gallop towards the direction of Tongcoff County. The old man in the late stage of Qi refining in the knight team and the gran stone in the fifth level of Qi refining in the team here, to From beginning to end, they just watched, without moving, speaking, or changing their expressions. Their task was to sit in charge and ignore other mundane matters. They would not participate in such children's bickering unless their young master's life was at stake. Only take action at critical moments.
The knights from Jusang Town left, bringing with them smoke and dust. The people in Mai Town looked at the team in the distance, with complex expressions on their faces. The others didn't say anything, but Qingyang felt more and more strange. This was the second time someone said Speaking of the pre-selection of the Holy Son, in Mayi Town, the mayor once mentioned the pre-selection of the Holy Son. Someone asked about it, but the mayor cleverly changed the topic. Qingyang also noticed it at the time. Unexpectedly, it happened for the second time today. Heard about this.
Qingyang had heard in Touqi Village that there were seven overlords in Fallen Ghost Abyss, and the one who controlled this area was called the Infinite Holy Lord. Could it be that the pre-selection of this Holy Son was related to that Holy Lord?
If that's true, that's a good thing. I'm worried that I won't have the chance to get close to the high-level monks in Fallen Ghost Abyss. If it really matters, a large number of high-level monks will gather together by then, and then I'll try to find a way to find healing pills. Medicine is much easier.
If there is a chance, I can help this young master Ma. If he can choose to go all the way, he can follow him to Withered Tomb City, even to the side of the Infinite Saint, but most of his methods have been blocked. I'm stuck, I wonder if I can help.
After the people in Jusang Town had gone away, Ma Xingchen adjusted his mood, waved, and the whole team continued to set off. After almost an hour, the whole team finally entered Tongcoff County.
After what happened before, Ma Xingchen was not in a good mood, but the people in the escort were not greatly affected. For them, they were used to the hard life of the bottom, and they were indeed not as good as the other side here, and they were ridiculed a lot. The sentence seems to be no big deal. What does the pre-selection of the Holy Son have to do with them? Just eat food when you are on duty and do your job well.
The scale of Tongcoff County is countless times larger than that of Mayi Town. Any narrow street or alley seems to be more upscale than Mayi Town. The luxurious and beautiful houses, the dazzling array of shops, and the monks coming and going make the Three Fatty, Paper Old Man, etc. The guard who came for the first time was almost dazzled.
There were more than 20 people in the team, and food and accommodation were not a small expense. The shops on the street and close to the city center were too expensive, and Ma Xingchen couldn't afford them. In the end, the group found an inn in a remote alley in the city, which happened to have an apartment. There are a total of more than 20 rooms in the compound for multiple people to live in. The price is not expensive, including food and accommodation for everyone, and it only costs one spiritual stone a month.
Everyone stayed in the inn that night. Early the next morning, Ma Xingchen took a few guards out to do business, and left a few guards to stay at the inn. The rest of the people could take turns to go shopping and enter the city. Ma Xingchen had said before that everyone would be given two days off after settling in.
The three people in Touqi Village happened to be taking turns on the first day. The three fat men and the old man Zhi had long heard about the prosperity of Tongcoff County. Now that they finally came here, how could they endure the loneliness? I came to Qingyang early in the morning and asked him to accompany me to go shopping.
