Chapter 131 Encounter on the road
The grass grows long and the orioles fly, and the ancient road is lonely.
The warm wind blew in his face, and Zhang Yuan, who was riding at high speed, felt relaxed and happy.
At this moment, he did not know that he had been pursued with a huge bonus.
But even if Zhang Yuan knew about it, he would not be surprised at all.
Because this was already expected by him.
I came to Qing'an County and learned about the mission target, Zhao Rongbin, and read Yue Wuji's message to me.
Zhang Yuan guessed some of the thoughts of the war hall master.
Yue Wuji obviously wanted to train him into a sharp weapon to stab the enemy.
But the same weapon can be divided into overt spears and hidden arrows!
Dark Arrow is a killer assassin.
In Zhang Yuan's last mission, he showed his ability to shoot his opponents from a long distance.
Surprise, kill with one hit!
Ming Qiang is a warrior who can confront the enemy openly.
How to choose depends entirely on Zhang Yuan himself.
Once Zhang Yuan makes his choice, Yue Wuji will definitely invest the corresponding resources to sharpen his weapon.
Charge into battle for the Raging Whale Gang, or clear obstacles!
Of course Zhang Yuan can also give up the mission.
Then he will be of no use to Yue Wuji and will be used as cannon fodder in the future.
Zhang Yuan was a man of two generations, and he was still able to guess some of the thoughts of those in power.
And he would rather be a warrior than an assassin!
Therefore, Zhang Yuan gave up the idea of sneak attack on Zhao Rongbin and directly went to the gym to kill the powerful enemy in a head-on confrontation.
He did not hide his real name and origin, both to establish his authority and to gain fame.
Establish your own name in this arena!
Being offered a reward will only make Zhang Yuan's reputation spread wider and louder.
The only thing to worry about is that the angry enemy may take revenge on Zhang Yuan's mother to vent his anger.
After all, not everyone can abide by the rules of the world that do not bring harm to the family.
Therefore, in the letter that Zhang Yuan asked Zhanpeng to send back to Linhe, he expressed his willingness to use the reward from his mission in exchange for Zhang's mother to move to Whale Castle.
Even if it’s just a short stay.
Whale Castle is the headquarters of the Linhe Branch. It is heavily defended by many masters, and there are three fourth-level warriors stationed there.
Naturally the safest.
Zhang Yuan believed that Yue Wuji would not refuse his request, both emotionally and rationally.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it chill people’s hearts?
And to be honest, isn't Zhang's mother the best hostage for the gang's superiors to control Zhang Yuan?
Zhang Yuan understands that he is now weak and must rely closely on the big tree of the Raging Whale Gang to grow.
The better he performs, the wider the road ahead.
There will always be a day when you can break free from the shackles and fly high!
It was precisely because he thought clearly that Zhang Yuan embarked on the journey of experience with confidence.
As he headed north, he met more and more business travelers.
As the saying goes, the big ones are hidden in the mountains and the small ones are exposed in the wild.
There are no big mountains and swamps in the area to the north of Qing'an. Most of the area is open plains and rolling hills.
There are many villages scattered around and the population is quite prosperous.
This is very different from the scene around Linhe.
It is also much safer.
After traveling hundreds of miles and running out of breath, Zhang Yuan stopped at a roadside tea shed.
It is not uncommon to see tea sheds like these beside official roads, where business travelers can rest and have some tea to replenish their energy.
The tea shed was very simple, with seven or eight tables inside, and a lot of people sitting there.
These people include both businessmen and charlatans.
There was even a monk.
This tea shed is run by an old couple, who are busy serving tea and water to the guests.
Zhang Yuan took the horse aside, then took a bundle of fodder to feed it.
He found an empty seat to sit down and greeted the boss. The gray-haired boss quickly brought Zhang Yuan a pot of hot tea, nodded and asked, "Sir, would you like two sesame cakes? The freshly baked donkey meat tastes so good!"
< br>
Zhang Yuan sniffed, nodded and said: "Then give me five to try."
As he said that, he took out a broken piece of silver and threw it on the table. : "No need to look for it."
"Thank you, sir!"
The boss was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly put away the money: "Wait a moment, the little one will bring it to you right away."
The money given by Zhang Yuan was three dollars. .
The cost of burning five donkey meat plus tea is less than a hundred yuan.
High roller!
Not long after, the boss brought a plate of five donkey meats to be grilled.
Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed one.
The skin of this fire-roasted dish is crispy, the tender donkey meat and the slightly salty sauce are blended together, and the taste is unexpectedly good.
I didn’t expect such delicacies to be found in roadside shops!
He was so impressed that he killed one of them in just a few bites.
"Where to run!"
Just when Zhang Yuan grabbed the second donkey meat and burned it, preparing to feast.
Suddenly there was a roar from afar.
The sound is like thunder, breathtaking!
Zhang Yuan and the people in the tea shed couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
On the official road not far away, I saw two men running away desperately, with one person chasing after them.
In just a moment, the two fleeing men were caught up.
The pursuer brandished a big sword in his hand and knocked them to the ground in two or two blows. At the same time, he yelled: "You dare to cheat on me. You really don't know how to live or die. Hurry up and get rid of all the wounds on you." Hand over all the money!”
A man fell to the ground and wailed loudly: "Auntie, please spare the life of the villain, the villain has no money!"
The pursuer became furious, raised his foot and kicked hard: "You don't have the money to start your mother's gambling game?"
"Ah!"
The man's scream was extremely sad.
The other person struggled to crawl towards the tea shed, raising his hands and calling for help as he climbed: "Help, help!"
As a result, the people in the tea shed turned their heads, pretending not to see or hear. .
The most taboo thing when traveling in the world is to meddle in other people’s business.
What's more, the one asking for help is a cheating gambler!
Even the monk closed his eyes and just said "Amitabha".
“Save your mother!”
The next moment, the man who called for help was also stepped on.
Hold your breath on the spot.
The pursuer slashed off the opponent's belt with his sword, and swiped left and right to remove his clothes, trying to find some belongings.
The result was nothing.
“Bah!”
She spit out unwillingly.
Then he came to the tea shed angrily and carrying his big sword.
At this time, Zhang Yuan completely saw the other party's true appearance.
This extremely tough woman has disheveled hair and a tall figure, with dark skin and fierce eyes. Half of her face is covered by a purple birthmark, and there is a black hair on the left corner of her eye. Large mole.
To be honest, Zhang Yuan has never seen an uglier-looking woman than her in his life.
In comparison, the rough village women in Chenjiacun used to look much more delicate and pretty.
This tough and ugly woman glanced at her, and no one in the tea shed dared to look at her.
Including several Jianghu people.
The tough and ugly girl snorted coldly, and then sat down opposite Zhang Yuan in a grand manner.
She put the big sword in her hand on the table and shouted: "Boss, bring me a pot of herbal tea!"
