Qin Shaoyou's face turned pale at Zhu Xiucai's words.
He waved his hand and released a burst of blood energy, which turned into a huge fist. He hit Zhu Xiucai's head hard and cursed angrily:
"I think you're the one whose brains were blown away! What's the matter, are you hoping that if something happens to me, you can take my place?"
Zhu Xiucai rubbed his head and cried out: "Sir, why are you beating me? I care about you too. With your smile just now, anyone who sees it will think there is something wrong with you, right?"
"Amitabha."
Monk Ma held the reins with his left hand and raised his right hand in front of his chest to pronounce the Buddha's name. His expression was extremely serious at this moment. He slowly shook his head and said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with your smile just now. On the contrary, I think your smile is full of Great wisdom and great compassion.”
Zhu Xiucai was dumbfounded.
The Lord's smile just now was like that of the fool at the entrance of the village, making him laugh out loud. You actually said that he smiled with great wisdom and compassion? Do you have a problem with your eyes, or do you have some misunderstanding about great wisdom and compassion?
After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Xiucai was convinced and cupped his hands towards Monk Ma: "Monk, I take back what I said before. You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are no worse than me when you flatter me."
Qin Shaoyou was interrupted by Zhu Xiucai and took his attention back from the mysterious recipe.
Although each of the new dishes he opened this time was better than the last, due to the lack of side dishes and supplementary ingredients, it would not be possible to make them for a while.
Instead of drooling over the recipe, focus on getting on the road.
Fortunately, Qi Longfei and Qin Qiaoer were here, and they were able to arrange many things properly, such as asking Cai Guizhong to send ghost missions, patrolling and warning in the direction of the team's advance, and so on. This saved Qin Shaoyou a lot of worry and only needed to do some investigations. Just fill in the gaps.
Soon, two days passed.
In the past two days, Qin Shaoyou and the others have been on the road. Although they encountered several Qingtang tribesmen, with the tiger skins from the patrol camp on their bodies, as well as the relevant waist badges and documents, they were able to move smoothly and even escaped from the encounters. Get supplies from the Qingtang tribe.
The Qingtang tribe along the way not only did not doubt their identity, but also entertained them with smiles and stuffed money into their pockets.
What's more, they even sent women from the clan to comfort them.
The patrol battalion has great power in Qingtang. It is not only responsible for guarding the royal city, but also has the same responsibility as the inner guard to monitor the four directions.
Large tribes may not be afraid of patrol camps, but small tribes are afraid that if they are not well received, when these eagle dogs return to the royal city, report to the nobles, and frame some crimes on them, then they will really suffer genocide. What a tragedy.
Qin Shaoyou and the others accepted all the goods that were filial to these tribes and accepted them all.
But they sternly rejected the woman they offered.
Even Zhu Xiucai refused the matter with a straight face, citing important matters.
This surprised Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui.
They originally thought that when Zhu Xiucai became lustful, they would give him a lesson. This would not only help him abstain from sexual intercourse, but also let the tribe who offered the girl know that their rejection was serious and not fake. Be polite.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually refused... Is he really planning to become a good person?
On the third day after leaving Dajin Mountain, Qin Shaoyou keenly discovered that the situation began to look a little wrong.
On this day, on their way, they met several people grazing on the grassland.
Although the herdsmen were just like the herdsmen they had encountered in the past two days, when they saw the clothes of the patrol camp on their bodies, they immediately fell to the ground.
But when they galloped past, one of the herdsmen got on his horse and ran towards a watchtower compound in the distance.
"There's something wrong with that person. It seems he went to inform someone."
Qin Shaoyou's eyes were sharp, he lowered his head and said to Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others beside him.
"Is it possible to notify the tribes here and ask them to come and greet us? After all, we are wearing patrol camp clothes." Monk Ma guessed based on his experiences in the past two days.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head, but before he could answer, Zhu Xiucai said first: "Monk, you are too naive. These tribes in Qingtang have not had time to hide from the patrol camp, so how can they take the initiative to get together?"
After saying that, he took the initiative to ask for help: "Sir, why don't you let me catch this man and ask him what he wants to do?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and rejected the proposal: "That man is just an ordinary herdsman. If you catch him and ask him, you won't be able to find out anything. It's better to wait for him to report the news and see what the tribal leader here will do."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou caught up with the leader Qi Longfei and reported the discovery to him.
Commander Qi greatly agreed with Qin Shaoyou's arrangement.
"That's what you should do if you put a long line to catch big fish. It's getting dark too, so let's just find a place to spend the night nearby and wait for the people from the tribe here to come and see what they want to do."
When Cai Guizhong heard this, he immediately sent ghost messengers to search around, and soon found a temple dedicated to the moon god, and everyone rushed there immediately.
There was a wizard living in the Temple of the Moon, but his cultivation was not very good. He usually helped the surrounding herdsmen to divine where the sheep were lost, who was the father of the baby in his wife's belly, and other such questions.
Seeing a group of patrol battalion soldiers coming to the temple, the wizard was so frightened that he shivered. He thought something had happened to him, so he fell to his knees and confessed directly:
"Sir, you can't blame me. Those women who came to ask for a child insisted that I give them a child, otherwise they would go back and spread the word that my temple was ineffective. In order to keep the incense and the face of the Moon God, I had no choice but to , I can only give in...I am also a victim!"
God damn victim...
Qin Shaoyou and others' faces twitched when they heard this, and they were too lazy to say anything to the wizard. Since he had already confessed his crime, they took it directly, and Qin Qiaoer used the law to punish him for his crime. He also tortured him to see if he had anything else to do. Helping people give birth to children and doing other bad things.
Seeing the wizard being stripped of his shirt and tied up in the courtyard of the Moon Temple, being whipped continuously with a long whip transformed from the power of the law, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but swallowed and laughed twice with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect that when we arrived at Qingtang, we could help bring justice..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Shaoyou's ears twitching slightly. Before he could ask any questions, a dark shadow surged in front of everyone's eyes, turning into a ghost and reporting: "My lords, a group of cavalry is running towards us. .”
"They came quite quickly." Qi Longfei snorted lightly and asked, "How many people are there and how strong are they?"
"There are about seventy people, most of whom are in the seventh or eighth grade. The leader of the team is a fifth-grade martial artist."
It was not Gui Cha who made this answer, but Qin Shaoyou.
Zhu Xiucai, who was standing next to Qin Shaoyou, was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Sir, it's not surprising that you can hear the number of people. How come you can also hear the strength of these people?"
Qin Shaoyou replied: "When I score, sometimes I can."
Zhu Xiucai became more and more curious: "When?"
"When these people appear in front of me."
Qin Shaoyou raised his hand and pointed, and following the open door of the Moon Temple, Zhu Xiucai saw about seventy tribal cavalry heading here.
Judging from the blood radiating from this group of people, their strength is indeed not very good.
At the same time, the tribal cavalry rushing towards the Moon Temple also saw Qin Shaoyou and others.
"There are only about twenty people on the opposite side, and our number is three times theirs. We will definitely win easily!"
This group of tribal cavalry is also full of confidence.
