Chapter 888 – Straight Face
Caloro City
When An Zheng brought the brother and sister into the city, cheers erupted from the city wall. Although there weren’t many people cheering, the sound shot straight up into the sky. An Zheng could tell from the voice that there was Du Shoushou, Chen Shaobai, Gu Qianye and the monkey, but not Qu Liuxi.
He raised his head to look up. Qu Liuxi was standing there and looking at him, her eyes red.
An Zheng gavhumbs up, and the fatty shouted “awesome” on top of the city walls.
The young girl whose name was Qi Mu Shan looked at An Zheng, then looked at An Zheng and his friends. She suddenly felt that the legendary hero and his friends should be like this. From the start, as she followed An Zheng, she had felt that they were separated by a whole world. However, after entering the city, seeing the excited cheers of his friends, she suddenly felt that the distance between them was close.
Heroes were not gods, but humans.
But for some reason, when the fifteen year old girl, Qimu Shan saw the gentle, quiet and beautiful woman walk to An Zheng, and pull An Zheng’s hand to place it on her face, she felt a little sad.
This was a bit awkward, but she didn’t understand it herself.
Du Shoushou embraced An Zheng’s shoulders: “Looks like you have grown a little stronger, tell me, did the white-bearded Old Taoist give you some powerful pills or a Tiger Whip Pill?”
An Zheng: “Do you want to try tonight?”
Du Shoushou: “You’re annoying, I already want to give iry right now.”
An Zheng: “The heck... What happened in the days when I was away? ”
Chen Shaobai said, “We are shameless, can you not be so cheap?”
Du Shoushou laughed: “How can I compare to you in terms of shamelessness?”
Chen Shaobai sized An Zheng up from top to bottom: “That white-bearded Old Taoist didn’t say anything and took you away. From the time you left until now, Xiao Liu’er hasn’t slept a single day.
An Zheng pulled Qu Liuxi’s hand. “I made you worry.”
Du Shoushou said, “No, no, you guys can just go back later on. “Let’s hurry back, it’s good that you came back, An Zheng. The monk told him that he had settled the matter with the Buddhist Sect, and was waiting for Yatuo Angge to come back.”
Chen Shaobai: “Undercover? “What kind of trap?”
Du Shoushou: “Can’t you do it with your cowardice … … The monk told us not to go anywhere today and to wait for someone in the city. ”
“Waiting for who?”
As he was speaking, a group of people and horses appeared on the public road outside the city wall. There seemed to be around a hundred or so women, all of whom were the same type of person. They wore bright red battle gowns, and their armor shone brightly in the sunlight. The squad was escorting a carriage. It was an exquisite carriage. It was a unicorn pulling the carriage. It was so noble that it seemed like the king of the demonic beasts.
The defending troops on the city wall suddenly cheered loudly, much louder than the cheers of Du Shoushou and the others when they heard the news that he had returned.
“The Mayor is back!”
“Quickly open the city gates! The mayor is back!”
His voice was getting louder and louder, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to have been shattered by his voice. An Zheng turned his head to look at the direction of the city. All of the citizens had rushed out from their homes, and there were walls of people on both sides of the street.
The moment the cavalry escorted the chariots through the city gate, the cheers suddenly soared. People looked so excited, as if they were returning to their gods.
“Jialou Huowu.”
An Zheng looked at the carriage and muttered these four words. He didn’t know why, but An Zheng kept having the feeling that this woman had some sort of story that no one else knew. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the city, and the people inside whispered a few words to each other. Then, the escort of the cavalry moved off in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.
A lady wearing a purple cheongsam came down from the carriage and waved to the crowd. The citizens’ cheers grew louder and louder, causing Du Shoushou to exclaim in admiration, “What kind of woman can make a city’s citizens admire her so much? I’m afraid the word ‘heroine’ is not enough to describe her. I heard that the reason why this Caloro City was able to survive in between is because of this City Lord. ”
“No matter what, this kind of woman is enough to make people admire her.”
Chen Shaobai said: “The monk is the one who made us wait for her.”
As she was speaking, the woman had already walked up the stairs towards the top of the city wall. An Zheng and the others couldn’t be rude when they went over to greet him. It was only when they got closer that they could see that the girl’s beauty was unreasonable. The beauty on her body seemed to have transcended the human world. She was mature and did not lose her youth. Although her face did not have that sort of peerless beauty, it still looked very beautiful. At first glance, one might think that she was just an ordinary beauty, but after looking at her for a bit, one would feel that there was not a single part of her face that was not beautiful.
At that time, two words uncontrollably popped up in An Zheng’s heart … Demonic.
That’s right, this girl was extremely beautiful.
“Everyone, it’s been so long since I’ve returned from Caloro City. Please forgive me for my rudeness.”
She cupped her fists as she spoke, but there was alsrace of heroic spirit in her gentleness. Her purple long skirt vividly outlined her body, adding a touch of elegance and elegance to it.
An Zheng cupped his fists: “We intrude.”
Jialou Huowu laughed, as though her eyes could not help but drift towards the monkey. The monkey was in a daze as it squatted on top of the wall with a furry grass in its mouth. It was unknown what it was thinking about.
After Jialou Huowu finished introducing each of them, she pointed at the monkey and asked, “This is?”
Du Shoushou went over and put his arm around the monkey’s shoulders. “Hero, I’m calling you, but you just squatted there in a daze for a long time. What are you thinking about?”
Monkey: “I keep having the feeling that the monk is hiding something from me.”
He looked at Jialou Huowu apologetically: “Sorry, there were some things on my mind, I couldn’t hear anything you said.”
After saying that, Monkey once again looked outside the city. He frowned slightly and said, “I keep having the feeling that I’ve been here before. There’s something hidden in Monkey’s words, so I asked him if he was willing to say …” What exactly is the thing that he wants, is it related to me? ”
Jialou Huowu’s gaze moved away from the monkey, but the moment she turned her head, An Zheng seemed to see a faint hint of sadness in her eyes. The sadness quickly disappeared, as if she didn’t want others to see the change in her eyes.
“Let’s go back. The wind here is strong.” Divisions had already looked for me, which was why I was delayed for a day. He had already obtained the Buddhist Sect’s magical equipment that could let him enter hell temporarily, but only for forty-four hours. So, once Yatuo Angge comes here, we have to kill him quickly, we only have one chance … Yatuo Angge is an extremely cunning person, there is no way he will have a second chance. ”
As they walked, they checked the monk’s plan again to make sure that nothing was left out.
Just as they were talking, someone suddenly ran over and whispered into Jialou Huowu’s ears: “Something happened over at the auction house, someone came over to cause trouble, and we suspect that it’s someone from the zhengzong.”
Jialou Huowu looked at An Zheng, and An Zheng nodded: “I’ll go take a look, you guys don’t show yourselves for now.”
Jialou Huowu retrieved an order badge and gave it to An Zheng: “This is my order badge, everyone in the city will listen to your orders when they see it. We will drink tea in the quiet building not far away and support you at any time. If Yatuo Angge came, the plate would light up. I fought with him before, and the injuries on my body was all thanks to him. However, he was also injured by me, and the blood on this token is his. As long as he’s around, the token will tell you. ”
An Zheng thanked him and followed him back to the auction house.
Although the Caloro City was a very famous big city in the Western Regions, it couldn’t be compared with those big cities in the Central Plains. Whether it was the size of the city or its population, the population of the floating city was much larger than most of the large cities in the Central Plains. Caloro City warading city, and customers from all over the place had gathered here, so you could see almost anything that came your way. It didn’t matter if it was the tea and porcelain of the Central Plains, the silver and jade of the Western Regions, or even the goods from the other side of the sea.
The auction house was very large, and the decorations were quite luxurious. An Zheng followed the person in through the back door and directly went to the second floor. Looking down from the second floor, the worker pointed down and said, “It’s those guys. They were very generous, but their actions were too abnormal. After they came here, they bought a few expensive things and then asked our shopkeeper if he saw anyone selling a sickle. ”
The shop assistant smiled and said, “This is really rare. This is an auction house, not a farm tools seller. Where did this sickle come from?”
An Zheng: “There really is one.”
After tidying up his clothes, he said, “Prepare the best room for me and then see what they bought. As long as they bought it, you can say that someone increased the price.”
The waiter nodded. “Understood.”
An Zheng sat down in the private room and sipped his tea, then heard the commotion below. The people downstairs had their eyes on one item, but the shopkeeper just didn’t want to sell it. He said that the guests upstairs had said that the things here were round enough that no one was allowed to buy any more.
The leader of the group frowned, “I’d like to see who’s so generous.”
He quickly made his way upstairs. The waiter pretended to not be able to stop him. Then, the young man pushed aside the curtain and barged in. The moment he saw An Zheng, he was completely stunned. This guy was exactly the weird young man that An Zheng met in the tavern.
That person was stunned for a moment before laughing, as if he had found his prey.
“Young master, we are destined to meet each other. I am called Psalm of God and have taken a look at a few things downstairs. What, do you want some too, young master?”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders. “I arrived before you, and I’ve taken a fancy to all the things here, so I’m sorry.”
Praise the gods: “You said you had taken a fancy to it, so you’re not allowed to let anyone else buy it. I want to know how domineering you are. We all spend money to buy things, are you sure you can buy everything here? “How about this, if you can take out something that I feel is of sufficient weight, I will leave and not fight with you over it.”
An Zheng asked: What do you want to see?
“At the very least, you have to be able to prove that you are qualified to buy all the items in this auction house.”
An Zheng: “You … Is there something wrong with him? ”
“What do you mean?”
An Zheng said: “Whether I have the qualifications or not, what can you do about it?”
Saying this, he sat down and looked at An Zheng: “Let’s put it this way, you have a sickle in your hand, I want it. As long as you are willing to take out the scythe, I guarantee that you will not reject the offer. Forget about this room, in the entire Western Regions, just tell me what you have your eyes on. I can help you find it and trade it for this sickle. ”
An Zheng was silent for a while, before he said: “There is only one thing that I can exchange.”
“What?”
“Yatuo Angge’s life.”
An Zheng stood up and said: “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’re here in the city. You want to steal my things? “I’ll wait here for you. I want to see how you guys are going to snatch it.”
“I like direct people.”
He also stood up. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
