Chapter 56 Entering the Jianghu
"Brother Hao, which mission do you want to choose?"
After Li Yuanzhao read the task paper, he immediately asked Li Hao, obviously wanting to work with him and take care of each other.
"Qizhou." Li Hao said, with a hint of coldness disappearing in his eyes.
Li Yuanzhao glanced at the task, without thinking much, nodded and said: "Then I will choose this too."
"You are all going to Qizhou?"
Du Qiuyue next to her glanced at him and immediately said, "Can you take one with me? I'll go there too."
"There's me, I'll go too." Zheng Bai said quickly. Being able to perform a mission with the young master of the Divine General's Mansion is a rare opportunity to gain intimacy.
If you can become the other person's friend, that's a huge network.
"Brother Hao, look?"
Li Yuanzhao chose to ask Li Hao what he meant first.
Li Hao said: "I don't care."
"Since Brother Hao has no objection, let's go together." Li Yuanzhao said upon seeing this.
Du Qiuyue and Zheng Bai looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
At this time, Su Yehua in front suddenly said: "Now let me tell you the rules. Each task can only be received by a maximum of five people. Now I will report the number. The first task is to go to Cangzhou Town Demon Division to co-organize and solve the problem in a village. The monsters are causing trouble, and the credits are five, who wants to go?”
"I."
"I."
Immediately, seven people raised their hands.
Among these tasks, the highest score is only 15 points, and the difficulty is also the highest. The task information says that there is a high probability of encountering a perfect monster in the Zhoutian realm.
As for this first mission, the intelligence only speculated that monsters from the second to fifth levels of the Zhoutian Realm would appear, which was considered relatively easy.
"If the number of people exceeds the limit, you can either discuss it on your own, or make a decision based on the ranking on the martial arts list. Those with lower rankings will be assigned other tasks." Su Yehua said.
The seven people looked at each other, and two of them sat down consciously.
Later, Su Yehua read out other tasks one after another.
Interested people raised their hands one after another to choose. Some tasks had three people, some only one, and some tasks had no one selected and they got a bye.
"Brother Hao, they are going to Yunzhou to do a mission. They just cleared out the demons there not long ago, and they are going to help clean up the remaining ones."
Li Yuanzhao paid more attention to brother and sister Li Yun. Seeing them choose a task with a perfect score of 15, a look of worry flashed across his face.
Although they don't like each other in the house, they have been playing together since childhood and they don't want anything to happen to each other.
"Tell them to pay attention and don't rush ahead because of greed for credit." Li Hao glanced at the brother and sister and frowned when he saw their faces eager to try.
"Um."
Li Yuanzhao nodded, preparing to take care of him after receiving the mission later.
Soon, Su Yehua talked about the Qizhou mission.
Li Hao immediately expressed his stance, and Li Yuanzhao, Du Qiuyue, and Zheng Bai also raised their hands.
At the same time, two people raised their hands in another place, one man and one woman.
"She's going too?"
Du Qiuyue was slightly startled when she saw the girl raising her hand. The latter was none other than Ren Qianqian, who was ranked fourth on the martial arts list. She was the daughter of a master and had superb swordsmanship.
Zheng Bai's expression changed, and he looked at the young man. He was not a new student, but an old student, and his ranking on the martial arts list was higher than his.
Now, there are six people, which means that Zheng Bai, who is at the bottom, has no choice but to withdraw.
Of course, there is another person here who is at the bottom of the martial arts rankings, and that is Li Hao.
But the reason why they chose the Qizhou mission was mainly because of Li Hao's choice.
If Li Hao withdraws, I'm afraid Li Yuanzhao will also withdraw.
Zheng Bai looked at Li Hao with a bit of hope in his eyes, hoping that he could change tasks.
At the same time, Ren Qianqian and the young man also noticed Li Hao and others. Ren Qianqian just glanced at them, his expression did not change, and he remained calm as usual.
But the young man was stunned, and then his face showed joy.
"There are too many people."
Su Yehua glanced at it and said, "You can discuss among yourselves and decide who wants to quit. If no one wants to, just follow the rules."
Ren Qianqian sat down and ignored him. She had to go anyway.
The young man glanced at Li Hao and knew that this young master of the Divine General's Mansion was not someone he could offend. Even if he was at the bottom of the martial arts rankings, he would not be any worse if he came to the First Academy. He just didn't show it off.
His eyes jumped to Zheng Bai next to him, and he smiled and said: "Qizhou is dangerous and is my hometown. I can lead them. How about you quit?"
Zheng Bai's face changed slightly. As soon as he said these words, if he persisted, he would offend others.
"Okay." Zheng Bai's expression changed, and he quickly put away his emotions, and said to Li Yuanzhao and Li Hao: "Then I wish you a smooth journey, and we will have the opportunity to be together again in the future."
"Okay." After hearing this, Li Yuanzhao stopped trying to persuade the young man and patted Zheng Bai on the shoulder to express relief. "You should be careful elsewhere," Du Qiuyue said.
Zheng Bai smiled and nodded.
Although it was a pity not to form a team with Li Hao and others, after all, it was only the first mission of the school year, and there would be opportunities in the future.
After confirming the number of people, Su Yehua continued to distribute other tasks.
Soon, everyone had been selected.
People who received the same task gathered together under Su Yehua's instruction.
"When should we set off?" The young man's name was Yu Wei. He recognized Du Qiuyue, but he looked at Li Yuanzhao and Ren Qianqian when he spoke.
"Now."
Ren Qianqian said calmly.
Du Qiuyue looked at Li Hao.
"Brother Hao, what do you think?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"Now, the sooner the better." Li Hao said.
"Okay, I'll prepare the carriage."
Li Hao shook his head: "Prepare five red-blooded horses, the carriage is too slow."
Li Yuanzhao was slightly stunned and nodded.
Yu Wei was surprised, looking at Li Yuanzhao, he seemed to be the little follower next to Li Hao.
But Li Yuanzhao was sixth on the martial arts rankings, with outstanding talent. It was said that he had an eighth-level combat qualification, which was only slightly inferior to that of a true genius.
After contacting the house, Li Yuanzhao walked towards the Li Yun brothers and sisters who were preparing to go down the mountain on the other side.
"Brother Hao asked you to be careful and don't rush into anything greedy for credit." Li Yuanzhao said to the brother and sister.
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and snorted: "Just take care of yourselves."
Li Zhining turned her head and glanced at Li Hao who was talking to a few people elsewhere. Her eyes flickered slightly and she said to Li Yuanzhao: "Brother Xie Yuanzhao, you guys too, be careful."
Li Yuanzhao grinned and said, "Sister Zhining, you should also take care of yourself."
After explaining, Li Yuanzhao returned to Li Hao, and they immediately set off down the mountain.
Riding red-blooded horses, the five of them galloped out of Qingzhou.
As young men teaming up with horses and fighting swords in the arena, Yu Wei and Li Yuanzhao's faces were full of joy and excitement, and they felt like they were free from the cage.
"As expected of a first-class horse on the battlefield, it's so fast. I heard it's hard to buy it for a lot of money." Yu Wei looked at the speeding scenery on the roadside and couldn't help but marvel.
It was also the first time for Du Qiuyue to ride a red-blooded horse. Although she was an old student, she was still just an eighteen-year-old girl. She wanted to keep the calmness of an old student in front of several freshmen, but her slightly red cheeks revealed her excitement. thoughts.
"Red-blooded horses are not for sale, and buying them privately is a capital offense." Li Yuanzhao said, still a young man at heart, and couldn't help but show a bit of pride and superiority in his eyes.
Yu Wei and Du Qiuyue looked envious. As soon as some people were born, they stood at the end that others could not climb in their lifetimes. This was the gap.
With the foot power of a red-blooded horse, it only takes less than two days to reach Qizhou from Qingzhou.
High in the sky above Qingzhou City, a black crow-like bird flew past.
The bird's eyes reflected the figures of five fast horses on the official road in the wilderness below.
Suddenly, Niao Mu blinked his eyes and saw two figures following behind the figures of the five fast horses, four or five miles away.
What was surprising was that the two figures were walking without riding a horse, but their movements were quite leisurely, and they could follow them closely without missing a beat.
The bird's eye blinked again, gave a low cry, and flew higher into the clouds.
Then, the black bird pierced out from another part of the cloud, fell rapidly, and flew into a forest somewhere.
The black bird landed and turned into a seven or eight-year-old child with a crest on its head. After landing, it ran towards the black water pool ahead.
"Jun Xuanjiao, that man is out."
the child shouted into the black pool.
The sound reached the bottom of the pool, and suddenly, in the black pool, which was as calm as stagnant water, a deeper black shadow suddenly emerged, and then suddenly broke through the water surface, revealing a huge dragon head, swallowing the core slightly, and a mouthful of fangs. Quite ferocious.
"Did you see clearly, it's the child of Marquis Xing Wu?"
"Recognize it clearly. My Thousand Gods Eye Technique will never admit it."
The child trembled slightly, and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Behind them, there are two more people following. It seems that the people behind them are protecting them secretly. One is in the Immortal Movement Realm, and the other... I can't see clearly."
As he finished speaking, the black water pool stirred, and another black shadow suddenly appeared. It was another black dragon, but its body was slightly slender and there were white scales on its abdomen.
"It's been four years. We've been waiting for four years since we were sent here to assassinate the son of Marquis Xing Wu."
"Ever since the assassination attempt by the human race failed, it has been too difficult to get into the house. If you are too strong to infiltrate, it will easily alarm the entire Li family. If you are too weak, it will be difficult to get close to that kid."
The two dragons were spitting human words, and then their figures flickered, jumped up from the pool, and landed on the ground to transform into a couple in black robes. The man had an evil face and the woman had a charming cheek.
The two of them seemed to have retained some of their snake nature, sticking out their slender tongues, licking their lips and chins, and smiling at the same time: "They must have thought that we had given up, but we have been cultivating demons for thousands of years, and what we don't lack most is... patience."
