Martial Cultivator

Chen Chao threw a piece of dry wood into the fire and asked with a smile, "Brother, I have always heard that those people in the north are the real warriors of the Liang Dynasty. What do you say?"

Han Hu took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "If you really want to say this, it's true. No one can bear the title of martial artist better than the guys at the top of the city in the north."

"I heard before that there was a young garrison from Weizhou who defeated countless academy students by the academy lake. Although I didn't go to see it in person, I felt excited just hearing about it. It was so well said. Those foreign monks call us vulgar warriors, but we can't call ourselves that. If we look down on ourselves, how can anyone else look down on us? "

Han Hu spoke with some anger and some joy, and said softly, "I also heard that the guardian envoy was killing monsters in Weizhou in the early years. He has a very good reputation and is a truly rare good official. To say that Whether he is considered a martial artist or not, of course, it does not matter, not to mention that he has now won the championship in the Wanliu Society, which really brings glory to our Liang Dynasty! "

"That's it for now, congratulations to Daliang!"

He raised the wine gourd and poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth. Then he couldn't help coughing, but he didn't forget to throw the wine gourd over. Chen Chao took it, took a big sip, and muttered, "This The world is like a dog’s day.”

Han Hu retorted seriously, "The world is already very good now. If it had been left to the previous dynasty, how could it have been so peaceful?"

We were attacked and killed by monsters just now. It's actually a bit inappropriate to talk about peace in the world right now, but if you really think about it, if you push it forward tens or hundreds of years, the world will not be as good as it is now.

Chen Chao clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I made a mistake."

Han Hu didn't care about this. He just remembered what happened before and asked, "Looking at my cultivation, I guess I really came from a big family? His movements are clean and neat, and he is really no worse than those guys in the north."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Not too big, not too small. He is a good elder with some small achievements."

Han Hu was a little confused and asked, "Then my brother is going south this time just for some traveling?"

Chen Chao nodded and said with a smile, "There are great rivers and mountains in the Liang Dynasty. It's interesting to walk around and see them."

Han Hu had no doubt that most of the children from high-ranking families actually had different ideas from them. He couldn't figure it out, so he naturally had no answer.

After that, the two chatted all night, and the previous monster attack made the relationship between the two closer again.

At dawn, the caravan set off again, with Chen Chao lying on the carriage full of goods as usual.

After being greeted by Han Hu, more than a dozen warriors had a much better attitude towards Chen Chao. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that they had seen Chen Chao take action that night and pierce a monster with one punch. It can be said to be extremely arrogant. , according to them, Chen Chao's blood energy is so strong that he is probably a martial artist close to the realm of Shenzang.

As for other things, they actually didn't dare to think too much, especially since Chen Chao's age was at stake here. If they thought that Chen Chao had crossed that realm, he wouldn't be the existence they should encounter.

Chen Chao just lay on the carriage full of goods, tilted his head and looked far away.

…

…

The caravan continued to go south. In the next half month, it encountered several monster attacks, both large and small. Fortunately, they were able to deal with them. However, two warriors were a little unlucky and were killed by the monsters. The leader of the caravan looked very ugly. rise

Come here, not because you feel guilty that someone has died, but because when someone dies, you have to pay a huge pension. The pension is not much less than the commission for this trip, so you have to spend a lot of money. , they will naturally not be happy.

However, since they had agreed before, even though they were in pain, they still took out the money they deserved and gave it to Han Hu.

As the leader of this escort, Han Hu's credibility was accumulated through escorts. If not for this, no one would trust him to hand over a lot of money. After all, these people's wives and children will end up referring to him. Live with this ridiculous amount of money.

After finding a place to bury the two people hastily, Han Hu placed the two stones he picked up on the grave and poured a gourd of wine on the grave. Then he squatted in front of the grave and whispered, "Wait for me to come back and take you with me." go home."

The other warriors were all silent and said nothing.

Chen Chao sat up on the carriage piled with goods and looked at this side, a little silent. He remembered that the two people were only in their early thirties. Although they did not come from the north, they were still old soldiers and had old soldiers. The being who had to retreat after being injured, although his level was not high, was still very bloody. Originally, the two of them would not have died like this during the attack. He just wanted to help one of the warriors block the knife, so he took advantage of his own life.

This kind of thing actually happens all the time, but only today did someone die.

After a simple farewell, the caravan continued its journey. This time, everyone's faces were serious again, and they were no longer as relaxed as before.

Han Hu has a lot of white hair on his temples, and he looks much older. This old soldier who came back from the north, in fact, unknown to outsiders, whenever someone in his company dies, he will use his share of the reward to make up for it. .

This time, Han Hu's trip was destined to be in vain, but the old guy didn't feel that he had any grievances. Instead, he became worried for the families of the two people.

After that, the caravan encountered nothing for several days. Finally, at dusk, they saw a small town in the distance. They were about to enter Cangzhou. The small town ahead was on their route, and they were really tired and wanted to spend the night there.

But they couldn't go there tonight, so they chose a relatively spacious open space beside the official road and built a lot of fires.

The tired merchants fell asleep, and the warriors still took turns to keep watch.

Still in front of the fire, the two sat opposite each other.

Han Hu looked at Chen Chao wearily, and said seriously, "You should know when it is most dangerous."

Chen Chao said, "This city is in front of us. Thinking that they will be able to enter the city tomorrow morning after sleeping for a night, their tense nerves will definitely relax. Once they relax like this, it will be the most dangerous time."

Han Hu said solemnly, "I have sensed something is wrong a long time ago, but it's just a feeling, so I haven't said it. I wonder if you have the same feeling, brother?"

Chen Chao looked into Han Hu's eyes and said seriously, "You are right."

"In the dark night, there has always been a pair of eyes watching us, at least for several days."

Chen Chao looked at Han Hu and said calmly, "It's waiting for us to be the weakest."

Han Hu grasped the knife at his side and asked nervously, "Should we wake them all up?"

Chen Chao said, "If the realm gap is still too big, it will be useless no matter how many people there are."
