Han Xing raised his eyes and saw Mo Wentian's trembling look, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Who do you think I am? Your bodyguard? Why do you want me to protect you?"
"In the final analysis, you are just my prisoner. This is Chu City, the capital of Chu State. Do you think I would be willing to risk my identity being exposed for the life and death of a prisoner?"
"I thought you had a good understanding, but I didn't expect that in just half a day, you had already forgotten the most precious things you had learned before. Where is your courage to move forward? Where is your belief in life and death?
?”
It was rare that Han Xing said so many words at once, and every word was like a sledgehammer hitting Mo Wentian's heart. By the time Han Xing finished his last sentence, Mo Wentian had already left.
The initial panic calmed down again.
Han Xing didn't ask what kind of trouble Mo Wentian had encountered. He didn't want to know. He just thought it was a bit ridiculous.
Mo Wentian never understood why Han Xing helped him improve his strength, nor did he know what value Han Xing valued in himself. But as Han Xing said, he was the one who received the favor, so why should Han Xing do it for him?
Responsible for life and death?
Is it because Han Xing brought him to Chucheng? What a big joke!
"You are right. What you have to face will always have to be faced. Although the time has been advanced a lot, I will not back down!"
Seeing that Mo Wentian changed his attitude so quickly, Han Xing narrowed his eyes in surprise, then turned around silently and walked out again.
Along the way, Mo Wentian didn't mention anything before, but carefully observed everything around him. Every pedestrian, every house, and every road was silently remembered by Mo Wentian. He didn't know
Whether he will encounter Li Yuanji, but he is doing his best to prepare for the worst.
The purpose of Han Xing's trip was also very clear. He first walked into a leather goods store, and with the enthusiastic recommendation of the boss, he bought a pair of half-finger gloves made of cowhide with a scrap of silver.
Today, Mo Wentian already knows that the biggest difference between the disciples of the ancient Demon Sect and those in the various weapon paths today is that their command spell blood marks exist on their left hands. However, Mo Wentian has always been curious. As a disrespectful person,
What kind of pattern will the command spell of Han Xing, the ancient demon of the Qi Dao, look like?
As early as when he was on the road with Mo Wentian and Luo Qi, Han Xing had already wrapped his left hand tightly with a piece of green cloth, but this would still make people suspicious, so wearing gloves was undoubtedly the best choice. In Chu
In the city, Han Xing always adheres to the principle of being careful and never making big mistakes.
After walking out of the store, in an alley where no one was paying attention, Han Xing finally took off the strap on his left hand and put on the cowhide gloves he just bought. At this moment, Mo Wentian finally got a glimpse of Han Xing's left hand.
Command spell pattern.
The collection of dozens of command spells seemed to be half the head of a monster, with horns and ears, and huge round eyes. At just a quick glance, Mo Wentian could not see too clearly, nor could he understand what was going on.
What is it.
However, Mo Wentian did not ask. He always felt that Han Xing had wrapped his left hand with a strip of cloth before to prevent him and Luo Qi from prying into his command spell pattern, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.
If Han Xing is offended, he will definitely not get any good results. After all, the other party is also a member of the devil's path!
After doing all this, Han Xing continued to walk quickly. Mo Wentian was a little confused. It seemed that Han Xing was very familiar with Chu City and was not wandering around like a headless fly.
"Have you been to Chucheng before?"
"first."
Han Xing responded coldly, without further explanation, and soon arrived at his second destination, which was a blacksmith shop, or to be precise, a knife shop.
Because of the Xiaoyao sect, almost the whole country of Chu practiced swordsmanship. Especially in capital cities such as Chu City, everyone was proud to practice swordsmanship and join the Xiaoyao sect. Therefore, most of the weapon shops in Chucheng specialized in knives.
Seeing this, Mo Wentian also knew that Han Xing wanted to buy a knife to hide his identity. After all, it is absolutely unjustifiable for a person in the Qi Dao to not have a real weapon with him, and among Chu City, the best choice
The weapon is naturally a knife.
"That's it!"
"You have such good taste. This knife was forged by my shopkeeper himself. It costs twenty taels of silver in total. Do you want to see anything else?"
Han Xing did not bargain, shook his head slightly, took the sword from the waiter's hand, turned around and left again. Mo Wentian noticed that when Han Xing held the handle of the knife, a look of disdain appeared on his face unconsciously.
, walked out of the store and casually inserted the knife into his waist, as if holding it for a while would get his hands dirty.
"It's really weird."
The two wandered around the street for a while, and Han Xing once again purchased a set of green gown, several random spices, several packets of unknown medicinal powder, and even a live chicken!
It was not until noon that Han Xing walked into a tavern with Mo Wentian's puzzled face. When the two of them sat by the window, Mo Wentian finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"What are you going to do?"
"I told you, I came to Chucheng to meet someone and do some things on the way."
Mo Wentian knew that Han Xing was not going to tell him, so he had no choice but to give up. Han Xing was not stingy about this lunch, and actually ordered a table full of dishes, which made Mo Wentian drool.
After devouring it for a while, Mo Wentian felt that this was really the most delicious meal he had ever had since he came to this world. No, even in his previous life, Mo Wentian had never had such a sumptuous lunch.
Until his belly was already bulging, Mo Wentian put down the licked plate in his hand without any satisfaction, and fell straight into the chair, but he couldn't move at all.
"Were you reincarnated as a starving ghost in your last life?"
Unexpectedly, after seeing Mo Wentian's gesture, Han Xing made a rare joke, while Mo Wentian sighed and looked at Han Xing extremely seriously.
"Of course not, but I was probably a beggar in my last life, so I cherish every grain of food. Moreover, this is really the best meal I have ever eaten in my life!"
Hearing Mo Wentian's answer, Han Xing shook his head, as if he was laughing at Mo Wentian's lack of knowledge, and then ordered a bottle of wine and started drinking one after another.
Seeing Han Xing's behavior, Mo Wentian's eyes lit up. Could it be that Han Xing was waiting for someone? The person he wanted to see?
"Hey, tell me, who can win the final championship in this Young Heroes Meeting?"
"It's hard to say. Originally, I was very optimistic about the Xiaoyao Sect, but now, I can't say for sure!"
Mo Wentian, who was lying comfortably on the chair, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard these words. His eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of the voice, and his ears stood up high.
On the left side of the table where Mo Wentian and Han Xing sat, three big men were gathered together, chatting nonchalantly. Perhaps because they had drank a little wine, the voices of the three people
Gradually it grew bigger, and with the inner strength flowing in his body, Mo Wentian listened to the conversation between the three people without missing a word.
"If it's not Lao Ba, is there anyone else who can be Li Yuanji's opponent?"
Hearing these words, Mo Wentian's eyelids jumped. He didn't expect that Li Yuanji was so famous in Chucheng. Even a few drinkers could hear his name. Mo Wentian held his breath and concentrated.
Pay more attention to the next news about these three people.
"Hehe, you also know that our Young Heroes Association has been suspended for three times. Even in the past, it only selected young talents from our country and then sent them to the Xiaoyao Sect for training. But this time, it is different...
…”
When Lao Ba said this, he was obviously a little proud. He reached out to pick up the wine glass and took a sip, and then started talking again.
"Everyone was surprised before why Li Yuanji, the dignified disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, would announce his participation in this competition. After all, this is not in line with the original intention of the Heroes Association. The most reasonable theory is that Li Yuanji will personally assess these competitions.
A young genius who will be sent to the Xiaoyao Sect."
"But in fact, the championship reward of the Young Heroes Association this time is very different from the past, which is enough to attract masters like Li Yuanji to come!"
It seems that he deliberately wanted to show off and whet the appetite of the two friends. Lao Ba picked up a piece of beef with his fingers, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. He never thought that if he said this again and left half of it, he would be so anxious on the sidelines.
Mo Wentian would definitely chop him into pieces.
"Lao Ba, you are unreasonable, tell us quickly what's going on."
"It's just that you have acquaintances in the palace, but we don't. It's just the news you brought. Come on, why don't we treat you to this drink? Just tell me quickly!"
Hearing what his companion said, Lao Ba stopped putting on airs, grinned with a smile on his face, and then lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face.
"This matter has not been announced yet. You also know that my nephew is working in the palace, so he revealed it to me. You two must not talk loudly. If you are found out, you will lose your head!"
This time, Lao Ba's face was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all. When the other two big men heard this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and looked at each other. In the end, curiosity defeated everything, and they nodded heavily.
He indicated that he would definitely take care of his mouth.
Seeing that both of them had solemn expressions, Lao Ba finally spoke slowly.
"According to the news from the palace, in this Young Heroes Association, apart from the fact that the best ones can still enter the Xiaoyao Sect to practice, the most critical change lies in the reward for the champion!"
"If this news is true, then the reward for the champion of this year's Young Heroes Association will be extremely generous. In addition to the fact that the sect will have the status of challenging the Xiaoyao Sect to protect the country for once, the person involved will also receive a bounty of one hundred taels.
A precious sword, the most important thing is..."
At this point, Lao Ba's voice paused briefly, he raised his head and looked around cautiously, and found that no one was paying attention, so he told the most critical news.
"The most important thing is that the winner of this competition will become the prince-in-law of the dynasty and marry Princess Chu Bing!"
"It is precisely for this reason that yesterday, after Li Yuanji of the Xiaoyao Sect, one of Princess Chu Bing's suitors and the son of the head of the Duanyue Sect, Xiao Xiao, also announced his participation in the Young Heroes Association!"
