While the Six Sword Slaves were hunting monsters in the Wolong Mountains, they were also honing their martial arts skills, and the Martial Emperor realm that they had just broken through was stabilized.
"Sir, please rest assured. We are currently avoiding the territory of the Martial Emperor's monsters and will not be easily involved in danger."
Zhen Gang and Duan Shui are both mature and prudent people, but Chu Ming is not worried about the safety of Six Sword Slaves.
"We still need to gradually explore our own path to the Eastern Region. Only in this way can we not be controlled by others."
Although the Taiyi Sect looked down upon the Northeast Region, the checkpoint they set up in the Wolong Mountains objectively blocked Chu Ming's path to the west.
"As the map gradually improves, we should be able to find a route to the Eastern Region."
Still not strong enough! If Chu Ming is really pushed into a hurry, let the little monk break through to Emperor Wu and fight him all the way. All the monsters of Emperor Wu's Perfection will be just a piece of meat on his grill.
It's just that the noise like this is too big, not conducive to their future development, and inconsistent with Chu Ming's original intention of keeping a low profile, so it's just a thought.
Fortunately, the first step has been taken now, and there will always be a solution in the future.
Chu Ming placed nearly a hundred inner elixirs brought back by Luan Shen around the Chongming bird's eggs. Due to the life and death contract, he could clearly feel the joy of the Chongming bird.
"I hope you can be born soon, and then go to help me fight and knock all our enemies to the ground."
As if feeling Chu Ming's grievance, Chong Mingniao also felt a faint irritability.
"Don't worry, just absorb the energy of these inner elixirs with peace of mind. I'll see you again after a while."
After appeasing the Chongming Bird, Chu Ming left Hidden Immortal Valley. He did not go to Shengxian Valley, but returned to Hedong City first.
This is also the longest time he has been absent from work. If it weren't for his different status, he would have lost his job at the county government long ago.
When he returned to his small courtyard and saw that the inside and outside of the house were spotless and clean, Chu Ming knew that Uncle Fu had someone come to clean it.
He lay comfortably on the familiar rocking chair, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and all the fatigue of these days disappeared.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open and Uncle Fu walked in.
"Master, you are indeed back."
Chu Ming went into the house and moved out a chair and placed it in the courtyard.
"You can just ask the waiters in the restaurant to do the cleaning work. Why do you, old man, have to do it yourself?"
"How can the young master's house be left to those careless guys? It's better for the slave to clean it himself so that he can feel more at ease."
Since Uncle Fu took the elixir given to him by Chu Ming, his body has become stronger and his face is rosy. Many people are praising him for his rejuvenation.
Only he himself knew that this was related to the "pill" given to him by the young master, and he also knew that it was given to the young master by the immortal masters who appreciated the young master.
But he gave it to himself without hesitation, and he was so moved that he became even more concerned about Chu Ming's affairs.
Chu Ming had dinner with Uncle Fu and then took a rest.
Early the next morning, Chu Ming arrived at the county government office very early and greeted everyone warmly.
Although everyone already knows that Master Chu is favored by a certain big shot in the capital, Chu Ming has not changed at all and is still the same as before.
Not only was there no bullying of colleagues, but more and more gifts were given to them.
Chu Ming was not influenced by the outside world and still completed his work step by step. He regarded this as spiritual practice.
A team of three hundred people in the Wolong Mountains was walking through the jungle. A tall man in black asked grimly, "We have been walking through the mountains for almost a month. Are you lying to me? You are just trying to protect yourself." life."
"How dare I deceive you? This route was also discovered by a villain accidentally. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Emperor Song, who was usually bossy, was as obedient as a little sheep at this time.
If you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.
Although the black-faced thieves led by Emperor Song avoided robbing the caravan of famous forces in the Eastern Region, they happened to encounter Zhu Tao who was expelled from his family during their last operation. This Zhu Tao was still an early martial emperor. Strong.
As a result, Song Huang and others failed to rob, but Zhu Tao killed and injured a large number of his subordinates. It was he who used the route across the Wolong Mountains at the critical moment to exchange for the survival of these people.
Zhu Tao has been cornered by his family's pursuit. Wen Ting can secretly go to the Exile Domain, which is also a good place to escape.
And under the instigation of Emperor Song, he had begun to imagine the bright future of establishing a sect in the Exile Domain.
The group of them had been walking in the Wolong Mountains for about a month. It didn't take such a long time originally, but Zhu Tao had been avoiding the family's pursuit all the way. They were forced to choose a curved route. They didn't expect that they would be caught instead. he chided.
Taking advantage of the camping opportunity at night, An Gonggong and the Song Emperor plotted their plans to return to the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty really plans to cooperate with this stupid guy?"
"Do we still have a choice now!"
Emperor Song's answer revealed the helplessness in his heart. He originally planned to wait until he broke through Emperor Wu to return to the Song Kingdom for revenge, but he did not expect to encounter the evil star Zhu Tao along the way.
"I'm afraid that if I get to the bottom of the field, what will I do if this guy named Zhu kills the donkey?"
"Don't worry about this. Without the help of local snakes like us, how can he start a sect on his own? Although Zhu is a bit stupid, he still understands such a simple truth."
"But he is also too cruel. He will kill people for fun if he doesn't get what he wants. Not less than fifty guardsmen have died at his hands these days."
When Eunuch An said this, he seemed to be frightened, fearing that it would be his turn next.
The people who followed Emperor Song to the Eastern Region were all the most loyal guards of the royal family. However, Zhu Tao killed people for no reason for fun, but Emperor Song did not respond at all, and was secretly conniving. All of this made them have a crush on the "Zhao family". His loyalty began to waver.
"Just be patient for now, we will reach the Northeast Region in three days, and then he can go on a killing spree."
Emperor Song turned a blind eye to the casualties suffered by his men. This indifferent attitude chilled the hearts of all the old eunuchs who followed him.
"Does Your Majesty really think Zhu Tao can help us deal with the Palace of Hell?"
"It's not about helping us, but if he wants to gain a foothold in the Northeast Region, he will inevitably conflict with the Palace of Hell. The conflict between the two is inevitable."
After hearing Emperor Song's explanation, Eunuch An also figured out the trick.
Just when he was about to ask, a scream suddenly came from outside the tent.
When the two of them walked outside, they saw Zhu Tao holding half of the body in each hand on the outside of the camp. It was obvious that a guard had been torn in half alive by him.
"You dare to block my way, damn it!"
Zhu Tao also discovered Emperor Song in the center of the camp. He waved the corpse in his hand provocatively twice and then threw it into the air. He heard an explosion with a "bang" and the corpse immediately turned into a rain of blood all over the sky. permeated the entire camp.
Zhu Tao sneered sinisterly at Emperor Song, his two rows of big yellow teeth seeming to bite anyone, and then returned to his camp without looking back.
The other guards were so angry that they were shaking all over. Most of these people had fought together for many years and were brothers who shared life and death. Everyone turned their attention to Emperor Song.
But Song Huang's performance still disappointed them. Song Huang turned around and entered his camp without looking back, as if nothing was wrong.
I don't know who was the first to sigh, and it quickly spread throughout the entire camp like a contagion, and the atmosphere instantly became lifeless.
Not far from here, the two sisters Zhuan Po and Mie Hun appeared like ghosts. When they first arrived at the camp, they fell into silence, and then they turned and left.
"Based on the investigation over the past few days, it is determined that this team is the Song Dynasty's guards, and the Song Emperor himself is also among them."
"The strongest one in the team is the tall old man, the early Martial Emperor."
"We overheard the conversation of two of the guards in the forest, saying that they came here from the Eastern Region across the Wolong Mountains."
The words of soul-turning and soul-destroying made other Westerners' eyes light up.
"You can be sure that they come from the Eastern Region."
Zhen Gang urgently asked them for confirmation. After the two sisters looked at each other, they replied firmly, "We can be sure."
"So they must have mastered a secret route across the Wolong Mountains."
"That's great. I originally thought that it would take quite a while to complete the mission of the Young Master, but I didn't expect that the living map would be delivered to us on its own initiative."
"Still don't get too excited. We still need to further confirm the authenticity of the news."
The mature and prudent "Duanshui" reminded everyone that the information provided to the young master must be accurate.
"We will follow the team for one more day and start tomorrow night. If Emperor Song and the old eunuch are to survive, the leader, Emperor Wu, will be left to you, Duanshui."
"It's better to keep as many people alive as possible. This will be good for the interrogation."
"What Luan Shen said makes sense, so let's make an exception. We won't kill anyone in this operation, it's just for information."
Emperor Song's luck was really bad. He crossed to the east side of the Wolong Mountains and met the Six Sword Slave.
It is not easy to find human warriors in the Wolong Mountains, let alone such a huge team.
From the moment they discovered them, Six Sword Slaves followed the team closely and never relaxed for a moment. This was how they were able to collect so much information in such a short period of time.
The next day, when Emperor Song walked out of the camp, he also noticed the change in the atmosphere of the team, but he didn't take it to heart.
In his opinion, these guards are all royal soldiers, and dedication and sacrifice are their duties.
It is precisely because of his long-term thinking inertia that it is impossible for him to consider the feelings of this group of people.
Eunuch An had already prepared toiletries and was waiting for him.
