Everyone in the style collecting team looked at the scene in front of them with expressionless expressions, showing no intention of helping Wei Chunxing.
The crazy young leader suddenly wanted to kill him, but his collection team was indifferent.
Wei Chunxing completely couldn't understand the current situation.
Bai Xiuping grinned and smiled excitedly: "They seem to be planning to watch you die, which is quite interesting."
He pulled out the sword from Wei Chunxing's waist, stared at Wei Chunxing with wide eyes, put the tip of the sword against his abdomen and said, "It might hurt a little, please bear with it."
Wei Chunxing was immediately frightened and cried out: "Save me, save me quickly!"
The collection team watched with cold eyes from beginning to end, and there seemed to be slight murmurs among the crowd.
Seeing that the people from the collection team finally reacted, Bai Xiuping became more convinced that someone else was really in charge this time.
Wei Chunxing was just a cover for him to let down his guard.
People will always subconsciously ignore the defeated generals.
The reason why Wei Chunxing was made the official person in charge was because he was really stupid and would not affect the real plan of Treasure Palace at all.
Bai Xiuping gathered his voice and told Zhuang Fangliang not to take action yet. He wanted to see how long these people could hide.
With Zhuang Fangliang's temperament, if he really misunderstood that he wanted to kill Wei Chunxing, he would really dare to attack the people in Jubao Palace directly without any hesitation.
"What are you yelling about? I haven't stabbed you yet, so it would be cleaner to just chop you down."
He was about to slash Wei Chunxing's neck with his sword.
The frightened Wei Chunxing couldn't care about anything else and shouted quickly: "Wen Tao! Du Wentao! Why are you still standing there, why don't you pull this guy away quickly?"
Du Wentao took off his hat and slowly walked out of the crowd.
"Young Master, please be noble and let the young master go."
Bai Xiuping did not put down his sword immediately, but turned his head and asked sideways, "Who are you?"
Du Wentao immediately bowed his head to Bai Xiuping and said, "I'm really sorry for not being able to say hello to the Young Master in time. Please forgive me."
"The villain Du Wentao is the captain of the gathering team of Jubao Palace."
Du Wentao was very calm and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Bai Xiuping then put down his sword, stuffed it back into the scabbard on Wei Chunxing's waist, and said to him coldly: "Remember, if you dare to plot evil again in the future, it won't be as simple as it is today."
Then he slapped Wei Chunxing again. The huge Wei Chunxing was slapped and sat on the ground, looking up at Bai Xiuping in confusion.
Isn't this okay?
Why are you fanning yourself?
Bai Xiuping lowered his head and said, "As for this slap, it is a small punishment for disturbing me today."
The purpose of this farce was to elicit the real person in charge of the Jubao Palace operation. Du Wentao showed up, and that purpose was achieved.
As for the threat and slap to Wei Chunxing, it was to scare this guy to some extent.
This saves him from healing the scar and forgetting about the pain.
After all, the reason why he dared to come today was because the lesson he learned last time was not profound enough and he was not afraid of himself enough.
Bai Xiuping ignored Wei Chunxing, but turned around and sneered: "Is your Treasure Palace's interest in secretly spying on others? It's really a disgusting and evil taste."
Du Wentao still maintained the gesture of saluting, and explained with a serious look: "The purpose of Jubao Palace sending the villain here is to secretly protect the young leader. In order not to disturb the young leader, I chose to stay in the team silently."
"Secret protection? Don't you want to plot to get rid of me?"
Bai Xiuping asked rhetorically.
Du Wentao felt a little helpless as the young teacher took such a big charge without taking the initiative.
Du Wentao quickly shook his head in denial and said: "Punch hard to prevent back attacks. This is a basic strategy."
"Sometimes in order to better achieve the goal, we not only have to deceive the enemy, but also conceal something from our own people when necessary. With the Mingjiao's current situation, Jubao Palace can only make this decision."
In a few simple sentences, the noble purpose of Jubao Palace is explained.
He also described Bai Xiuping as one of his own, and Bai Xiuping secretly thought that this person was different from idiots like Fu Yutao and Wei Chunxing, and was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Do you mean to do this or for me?"
Bai Xiuping stared at Du Wentao and sneered.
Du Wentao replied sternly: "Young Master, you are well aware of the current situation of the Ming Cult. If someone tries to harm you, we must not let any accident happen to you."
"There is no time when your safety is more important. If something happens to you, Mingjiao will probably be even more turbulent and the situation will be even more chaotic."
These remarks are indeed reasonable and reasonable. Now Bai Xiuping's safety has a profound impact on all the major forces of the Mingjiao.
It's just that Jubao Palace's behavior is naturally not as noble as they say.
Although Bai Xiuping was once a righteous man, he was not really an idiot. He could just deceive children with such words.
He walked to the side of the horse and gently stroked the sweaty horse with a playful expression: "If that's the case, I'd be very grateful. But for me, isn't it more dangerous to go to the Palace of Treasures?"
Du Wentao pretended not to understand.
After Bai Xiuping mounted his horse, he said calmly and slowly: "Young Master, please relax, there will be a villain to escort you to the Treasure Palace, and we will never let others hurt you on the way."
In a word, Bai Xiu Ping's original idea that he would be in danger after arriving at Jubao Palace was changed to the idea that he would encounter danger on the road.
Bai Xiuping naturally understood the caution in Du Wentao's words, but did not pursue anything further.
"Your name is Du Wentao, right?"
Bai Xiu Ping's originally cynical expression suddenly turned cold and sharp as he said, "Don't try to deceive me again in the future. I won't forgive you if you do it again."
Du Wentao couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. This young leader was moody and his thoughts were really difficult to guess.
He could only reply in a deep voice: "Keep this in mind, little man."
"Really? Then let me believe you for once."
Bai Xiuping chuckled.
Du Wentao was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.
…
Mingjiao Water Peak, Seven Secrets Palace, Jubao Palace.
Shuifeng is the location of the largest market of Mingjiao, which is suitable for the Jubao Palace responsible for economy and trade.
However, Bai Xiuping was quite surprised by the scenery in front of him. Surrounded by mountains, there was an endless sea outside Jubao Palace.
It's really close to mountains and rivers.
Even though Bai Xiuping was like this, Zhuang Qiuyun, who had never left Luopo Village, looked around in surprise.
Although this place is said to belong to the same water peak as Luo Po Village, with the green mountains at the back and the beautiful water on the side, the entire Palace of Treasures is also spectacular.
She didn't expect that the difference between the two, which were both located at Shuifeng, was so big.
Du Wentao saw the reaction of the two people and said with some pride: "Young Master, this must be your first time coming to Treasure Palace. How do you feel?"
Looking at the endless and long sea, Bai Xiuping was a little surprised and said: "I never thought that there is a sea among these thousands of mountains. This is indeed the first time I have seen such a scene."
There are two words for landscape, but the two are often separated. Generally, there are only streams, or at most waterfalls.
"That's not the sea. According to legend, it's a river formed after thousands of years of snow melted."
Du Wentao explained.
Hearing this, Bai Xiuping felt even more strange. It was so big, but it was just Jiang?
In fact, what is outside Jubao Palace is one of the lakes in this river, and this river is called Fenghai. It was originally named Fenghai because it was mistaken for the sea.
Downstream of Fenghai is a foreign tribe.
At the entrance of Jubao Palace, Zhuang Qiuyun raised his head and exclaimed in a low voice: "Wow, this place is really gorgeous."
Compared with the towering pavilions, green tiles and red eaves, and the carved beams and embroidered doors, the ordinary palace doors look like a dilapidated hut belonging to a poor family.
Zhuang Fangliang on the side was very calm and said in a deep voice: "The Treasure Palace is still like this."
Still how? Rich and wealthy.
Zhuang Qiuyun was a little surprised when he heard this, turned around and asked, "Dad, have you been here before?"
Zhuang Fangliang, who noticed his gaffe, immediately turned his head and pretended to be fine.
Du Wentao noticed this. He felt that something was fishy from the beginning when Fu Yutao was injured.
Although the person in front of him had not spoken a word along the way and was very low-key, his figure was strong and the calluses on his fist bones showed that he must have been practicing martial arts for many years.
"Speaking of which, you seem familiar. Have we met before? I wonder what your name is?"
Du Wentao asked.
Zhuang Fangliang's expression did not change and he said in a deep voice: "Luo Xue."
Luo Xue?
Bai Xiuping raised the corners of his mouth, practicing the Blood Luo Gong, so he was named Luo Xue, which quite suited Zhuang Fangliang.
Du Wentao had no impression of this name at all and always found it a bit strange, but he still had business to deal with now.
"The Young Master is here!"
Following the announcement from the guards, Bai Xiuping and his party entered the Palace of Treasures. There were women singing and dancing at the door to welcome the young leader.
