He heard this, He Daming couldn't help but wonder:
"This beast followed us into the mountain, plotted to attack, and made a ill-gotten plot. Even if we follow the rules, it would be a punishment of three swords and six holes. The lady knew that she would never blame her. Why should we hide it?"
"Stupid!"
Wu San immediately refuted:
"That Xu Jiehu is different from us. He is one of Qi Gang's capable generals and is very pleased by the other party. When the news is out, the wife will definitely not blame us, but Qi Gang is different!"
Chen Zheng nodded and said:
"Yes, the church is not a place to show off. If this matter is exposed, no one will blame it on the surface, but it is hard to say whether someone will take his anger. There is no need to cause trouble for yourself."
Everyone lived in the base for a long time and knew that they were amazing, so they couldn't help but nod:
"I understand Brother Zheng."
"We certainly don't talk nonsense."
There was nothing to say next. The three of them rested for a while and finally felt the numbness on their bodies gradually fading.
At this moment, the sun began to set. Under Chen Zheng's arrangement, everyone first went to bury Xu Jiehu's body.
Burying is not a kind heart, it is simply to bury corpses and eliminate traces, and to avoid being discovered prematurely by other hunting teams entering the mountains.
As for whether there will be any wild beasts smelling the smell and filling the corpse with food, Chen Zheng can't control it.
After doing this, everyone picked up the prey they had tied up before and started the journey back.
Due to their poor physical condition, they had to abandon one of their prey and only brought three wolves and one bear.
Even so, this trip seemed particularly difficult, and it was even more difficult to travel along the way than to return to the mountain for the first time.
As we walked along the way, everyone worked hard for more than an hour and finally returned to the stronghold when it was dark.
When they returned to the courtyard, they put down their prey, including Chen Zheng, all four of them were exhausted and hungry.
Dragging his tired body, Wu San and others set fires, peeling and removing bones and dirtying a wolf, and baking them on the fire.
In half an hour, the wolf meat was roasted so much that the aroma of oil was overflowing. Wu San sent the most plump hind legs. Chen Zheng feasted without saying a word.
The meat of carnivores is far less than that of herbivorous and omnivorous animals, but perhaps they are so hungry that Chen Zheng unexpectedly felt that this tantrum of wolf was quite delicious.
Including the other three people, they also seemed to be reincarnated by starving ghosts, and they were full of oil in their mouths.
In the end, he filled his stomach as quickly as possible, and Chen Zheng had no energy to cook other preys. He immediately asked others to go back and deal with it tomorrow.
After the three of them left, he finally had time to return to the bedroom and rested completely.
Without igniting the oil lamp, the moonlight outside the window shone in through the window paper. Chen Zheng sat cross-legged on the bed and pulled out his knife.
There were gaps all over the blade, which showed how fierce the battle with Xu Jiehu was in the forest.
"This knife is considered useless, so I have to go to the Interior Hall to change it."
Chen Zheng's heart suddenly moved:
"Or, entrust it?"
After the imperial jade certificate is enfeoffed, this ordinary iron sword will inevitably increase its quality and become a powerful tool for blowing hair and cutting hair.
A sharp weapon also significantly improves the strength of warriors.
However, Chen Zheng thought for a while and decided to hold back for the time being.
The same thing is true, it is a crime to bear a treasure.
A sword is a common weapon. If a treasure sword is really enfeoffed, it will inevitably be exposed to others.
In this ghost place, if other church members and even the people above find out that he has an extra sword for no reason, it would be a cause of trouble.
"Five-quarters of Heavenly Achievement is still ten minutes away from the imperial enthronement of "Tianmu Shape Refining Technique". I don't know when I will get it all together."
"You can't just accumulate it. You must transform it in time and improve your strength. It is best to improve it to exercise your body as soon as possible, so that you can have more guarantees when you encounter any dangers."
"After you have mastered your dirt, you can also be considered a master at this stronghold. Then you can consider leaving this ghost place."
A night passed by.
The next morning, Zhao Wu, Wu San and three others came to the door to help Chen Zheng cook the remaining untreated prey.
The big and small blind bear was peeled and cut off, and the four of them divided it up.
As for the two wolves, they were sent to the Foreign Affairs Hall in a complete manner, weighing 180 kilograms in total, and recorded in the rated task.
Including the previous 240 kilograms, the team completed a total of 420 kilograms, which was nearly one-third.
After going to the Foreign Affairs Hall, Chen Zheng went directly to the Internal Affairs Hall, changed his brand new knife, and then expressed his intention to exchange it for a jar of wine to the manager Gu Liangsheng.
In exchange, he presented a pair of bear's paws to the other party.
A pair of bear paws is worth even if it is replaced with ten jars of good wine. What's more, the wine in the base is just the most ordinary grain wine. Gu Liangsheng did not make things difficult for him and directly gave two jars, and also brought a large bag of coarse salt.
After returning with two jars of wine, Chen Zheng soaked the bear liver and bear galls and several herbs picked from the mountain according to the experience passed down by Zhao Wu's family.
In order to avoid anyone breaking into the empty door while he is no longer there, he buried the wine jar in a corner of the yard to avoid being stolen.
After dealing with these chores, it was already afternoon. During this period, the stronghold was calm and no one seemed to notice Xu Jiehu's disappearance.
Chen Zheng didn't care about this, and stayed peacefully in his yard, studied hard and practiced hard, and sweated.
It was not until early morning of the third day after Chen Zheng and others returned.
"Um?"
In the Foreign Affairs Hall, Qi Gang, the inner envoy, sat in the main seat, looked at a senior church member who came to report with an unpleasant expression:
"You said Xu Jiehu has not shown up for two consecutive days and is not in his residence? Don't this fool knows that I'm looking for him?"
Xu Jiehu is a member of the village who is stationed in the village and has been changing defenses on the mountain these days. The senior sect leader is Wang Kun, the miscellaneous sect leader who is responsible for the training of the low-level sect leader in the mountain. He also said with confusion:
"Sir, I really don't know. I asked around and no one saw him yesterday. Only early morning the day before yesterday, the church members who were patrolling the mountain seemed to see him going down the mountain alone, but it seemed that he had never come back."
"I went down the mountain alone and never came back?"
Qi Gang frowned, felt something was wrong, and suddenly stood up:
"Go to his place to see!"
Without saying a word, Wang Kun respectfully led the way, and soon he went down to the mountain road and came to the area where the high-level church members lived.
He went straight to the No. 7 courtyard and pushed open the empty courtyard door. There was a locked iron lock hanging on the main room door, indicating that there was no one inside.
Qi Gang stepped forward coldly and reached out to pinch his hand.
A click!
I don’t know what kind of terrible power, but I actually directly broke the iron chain.
After pushing the door directly into the house, Qi Gang immediately changed his expression slightly:
