Chuanshu Shizun is a big villain

Chapter 224 Chu Cai Cai

Before Liu Qing could react, Shi Ran took a step forward.

An unrivaled aura emanated from Shi Ran.

At this moment, the wind and sand were still, and the yellow sand that was raised was distinct and suspended in the air. Everything was quiet. It seemed that only Shiran could move.

In one step, Shiran appeared in front of the old woman.

A very casual and unpretentious punch.

boom!

A muffled sound suddenly came out, and the old woman's body flew backwards.

It happened to be at the moment when the old woman's body flew out backwards that the yellow sand raised in the air fell to the ground. Everyone seemed to be able to move again, and the wind roared and picked up the falling yellow sand again.

The old woman fell to the ground, unable to utter a word.

The pupils of his eyes were dilated and gradually lost their luster.

At that moment, the old woman seemed to see a god shaking his fist, and the sky was falling.

Liu Qing, who still had blood at the corner of her mouth, blinked her eyes in disbelief.

just.

what happened.

With her third-rate expert's eyesight, she didn't even see clearly how Shi Mu made his move.

Strong.

So strong.

Liu Qing didn't know how to describe Shi Ran who took action.

Some memories from the past came to mind.

Those locusts, maybe... didn't return until they reached the border.

Not to be scared away by her three-legged cat's waving gun.

But by...

Liu Qing's eyes fell on Shi Ran.

Another thought came to mind.

The reason why his caravan is intact is entirely due to Shiran.

otherwise.

It didn't make sense, so many caravans were ruined, and only their caravan was intact at best.

Everything is explained.

Liu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.

Shi Ran's unfavorable voice came out, "Miss Liu, are you attracted by my fist-pumping action? Are you thinking of committing yourself to me?"

Liu Qing's face turned surprisingly red.

Things like heroes saving beauties are fatal to women.

If the other person is good-looking, has a good personality, the age gap is not big, and is very capable.

That's the killer.

"I didn't." Liu Qing said forcefully.

The eyes of the six middle-aged uncles were also shocked.

This young man is so strong.

They are all old foxes. They have been in the world for so many years. What haven't they seen? Naturally, one can imagine that their survival was all due to this young ranger.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, the owner took her in at that time, otherwise...

They shuddered at the thought of the rest of the caravan being quickly devoured by locusts.

Horrible, really terrible.

I have a good home.

Everyone who was originally planning to go back to take care of themselves suddenly gave up the idea of ​​taking care of themselves.

After getting dressed and setting off, Shi Ran was still lying on the hay pile, covering his face with his hat.

Liu Qing in front seemed to have thought of something, hesitation appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look behind him from time to time.

Zhang Youwei instantly understood what Liu Qing was thinking and said, "Girl Qing, brother Shi Mu helped us, you have to thank him properly."

At this moment, Zhang Youwei called Liu Qing Qingyatou, and his position was already obvious. He was speaking from the perspective of an elder.

"Ah."

Liu Qing nodded casually.

"What are you talking about?" Someone else asked, "Why don't you go and ask Brother Shimu if he's married and what kind of girl he likes?"

"When I first saw Brother Shimu, I knew that Brother Shimu was the best among men." "Go and ask, I think you two are a good match."

When Zhang Youwei saw that Liu Qing was silent, he smiled and said, "I see, Qing girl is shy."

"Come on, come on, let me ask."

After a pause, Zhang Youwei said again: "Qing Yatou, I have said something ugly before, you should know that these uncles and uncles of yours and me are all rough and rough. If we ask, we may ask some weird questions." You should be more contemporary about the matter..."

"Don't disturb others' rest."

Liu Qing, who said a few words and had a strange look on his face, came to the carriage where Shi Ran was and walked side by side with the hay cart.

It's just parallel and doesn't speak.

Shi Ran knew that Liu Qing was traveling with her.

Liu Qing also knew that Shi Ran knew that he was traveling with him.

Both of them knew it, and neither of them revealed it to the other.

Some things are more beautiful if they are not revealed.

The sun in the sky has become less hot, I don’t know whether it’s because the time is getting darker or for some other reason.

Liu Qing even felt that the surrounding environment was getting better.

The road leading to Tongquguan is very long.

But it's not that long.

Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with being longer.

Huang stood beside a leather-armored general for a long time, looking ahead with sad eyes.

His mother-in-law gave him a talisman and asked him to come to Tongqu Pass in advance and talk to Chu Caicai, the general guarding the pass.

The conversation was very successful.

General Chu promised Huang for a long time that if the people in the Liu family caravan could survive the old woman, they would never let those people enter the city.

Chu Caicai glanced at Huang for a long time and said nothing.

His relationship with the Ming family, really speaking, is only about interests.

The Ming caravan would give him a lot of gold, silver, treasures and beauties every year.

He also opened the door to convenience for the Ming family.

This is a mutually beneficial move.

He is talented and does not owe the Ming family anything.

It's not a big deal to help the Ming family in whatever way we can.

Hello, me too.

Chu Cai Cai knew that the mother-in-law that Huang Jiujiu mentioned was a practitioner at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Her specific combat power was at the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

In the secular world, no practitioner can be underestimated.

No one knows what life-saving means the other party has in hand.

As the saying goes, the lower your cultivation level, the less you should take it lightly.

No matter how seriously injured the old woman was, she could not deny that she was a practitioner at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Isn't it easy to deal with an inferior caravan?

It was precisely because he knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to see the caravan, so Chu Cai Cai agreed directly to Huang for a long time without even thinking about it.

Regardless of whether I do what you want me to do, as long as the goal is achieved, your Ming family owes me a favor.

More favors, more benefits.

Chu Caicai looked at the future head of the Ming family, and finally said: "With your mother-in-law's strength, it is very simple to deal with that group of people. There is no need to worry too much."

Huang Jiujiu forced a smile on his face and was much more polite to Chu Caicai, mostly saying words of thanks.

A slap in the face, it came just in time.

In the distance, in the sky full of yellow sand, a caravan slowly woke up.

There were seven people in the caravan, all on horseback.

No.

As the field of vision narrowed, one could see that there was another person lying on the hay truck.

A caravan of eight people.

Chu Caicai's eyes flickered slightly.

Huang Jiujiu's face turned pale.

The mother-in-law who robbed and killed the Liu family's caravan did not return.

The Liu family caravan has returned.

This shows what.

"Let's go, let's go down and meet the Liu family caravan." Chu Caicai narrowed his eyes slightly and fell down the city wall.

Huang Jiujiu, whose body was shaking, followed closely behind.

In front of the gate of Tongquguan City, the Liu family caravan, including Shi Ran, a group of eight people, lined up to wait for the inspection by the gatekeepers.

The four words "routine" are like a sword that kills evil spirits.

Chu Cai Cai did the routine in person.

Looking around at the group of eight people, Chu Caicai frowned slightly. Among the eight people, the one with the highest cultivation level was just a low-level warrior.

How could such a group of people survive the wave of locusts?

How could he resist the robbery of that woman?

Are they too lucky?

Or there are others.

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Caicai's mind, and finally he calmed down. He said in a calm voice, "The price of the population tax and commercial tax will be doubled when I enter the city this time. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, the taxes were doubled, they worked hard, the most they could do was to protect their capital.

In other words, after you have worked hard for more than a month, the caravan has only earned less than one tael of silver after deducting expenses.

For ordinary people in the caravan, it doesn't matter, but what about the person in charge of the caravan?

For a month, I worked hard and earned one tael of silver.

Then why bother?

20% tax doubled.

No one can stand it.

Liu Qing was decisive and said: "Okay."

"Okay?" Chu Caicai was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Liu Qing a few more times.

Liu Qing nodded, "This is my first time doing business, so of course there are a lot of things I don't understand. Please take care of me, General Chu, in the future."

Chu Caicai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Qing's words can be translated.

This is our first time doing business. We are willing to pay the double tax this time, as a token of appreciation from our Liu family caravan, and as a token of friendship with General Chu.

As for the business in the future, you, General Chu, can't do this to us.

If it weren't for someone from the Ming family, Chu Caihua would have been prepared to fool him. There are not many people with such discernment.

If they are women, even less.

Huang Jiujiu spoke at this time, his voice trembling, "Where is my mother-in-law?"

Liu Qing glanced at Huang Jiujiu, "Are you asking me?"

"Otherwise!" Huang Jiujiu's voice was still trembling, out of fear.

Mother-in-law is the Dinghai Shenzhen of their Ming family.

Regardless of whether the mother-in-law is still doing business with them or not, the Ming family with the mother-in-law present is different from the Ming family without the mother-in-law present.

People of different heights will make different connections.

If the mother-in-law is gone, half of the Ming family will be destroyed, unless there is a new strong person to take charge of the Ming family.

However, no one in the Ming family is good at cultivation.

To be able to become a first-class master is already as high as the sky.

In a world where practitioners exist, being a first-rate master is nothing.

"Who is the mother-in-law you're talking about? What's the relationship with me? What's the intersection? Why do you ask me?" Liu Qing asked four questions in succession, confusing Zhou for a long time.

This.

This this.

Huang was speechless for a long time and didn't know what to say.

He can't say why his mother-in-law didn't come back when she went to kill you.

Liu Qing did not bother to check on Chu Caihua for a long time, and said: "General Chu, can we enter the border?"

Huang Jiujiu became anxious and shouted: "General Chu, you promised our Ming family not to let these people enter the city."

Chu Caicai glanced at Huang Jiujiu coldly and said, "Did I ever say that?"

"I, Chu Caicai, behave upright and sit upright, how could I do such a conciliatory thing."

"Boy, you better speak clearly."

A coercion emanated from Chu Caihua's body, pressing towards Huang Jiujiu.

Chu Cai Cai is not a fool. You can think of many things if you think about them.

For example, when locusts cross the border, the Liu family caravan is able to survive alone, or even stand out.

Another example is why the woman who went to rob and kill the Liu family's caravan didn't come back.

That woman is in the Ming family, and Chu Caihua is not afraid of the Ming family.

Why, now that he is gone, he is afraid?

Only strong strength is called unity.

There is absolutely no need to offend the uncertain Liu family for the sake of the uncertain Ming family.

Never put yourself in a whirlpool.

I think you have a certain weight, so I give you face.

Don't think you are so powerful and point fingers at me.

Huang shivered for a long time without saying a word.

"Everyone, let's go into the city."

Chu Caihua took the lead and walked towards the city gate.

Tongquguan is said to be a pass, but in fact it is similar to a small city.

There are all the facilities inside, but they are all of low quality.

Have you ever seen an courtesan in her forties or fifties?

There is a canal in Guanzhong.

No one with a little bit of money would come to Tongquguanzhong to suffer.

The conditions were difficult and there was little money.

In an ordinary inn, Liu Qing stood in front of a room door, raising her hand from time to time, putting it down, putting it down and raising her hand again.

Zhang Youwei and several old guys were hiding in the corner and peeking.

"Qing Yatou is falling in love."

"I feel so too."

"I have to say, that guy Shi Mu is really good. I don't think Qing Yatou is worthy of him."

"Don't say that, our young girl is so good, how could she not be a good match? She is an absolute good match."

"Qing Yatou, you're going to take action. What are you afraid of?"

"Sir, sir, it's quite lively outside. Why don't you go out and have a look?" Yun Bai, who had been sleeping for the past few days, suddenly woke up and said this.

The corners of Shi Ran's mouth twitched slightly, she always felt that Yun Bai wanted to eat melon.

"I have to say, sir, you look really good in this outfit. If I were a girl, I would definitely fall in love with you."

Shiran: "..." I thank you.

It is strange to say that since leaving Huansha Swamp, Yun Bai has fallen into a deep sleep from time to time.

This was Yun Bai's private matter, Shi Ran shouldn't have asked.

but……

Shiran regards Yunbai as a friend. If a friend has something unusual, of course he has to ask.

"Yun Bai, what's happened to you recently? Why are you always sleeping?"

"I don't know." Yun Bai said first, and then said with some uncertainty: "I may...may be evolving."

"Evolution, that's a good thing." Shi Ran was happy for Yun Bai.

"But..." Yun Bai hesitated to speak.

Shiran said: "This is a bit inconsistent with your character."

"If I evolve, I may not be able to protect you. Besides, I won't be able to see you for a long time. I will miss you."

"The road to cultivating immortality is long and the days ahead are long. Don't rush it."

"How about you evolve well and we meet at the peak?"

"it is good."

Yun Bai, whose personality had changed somewhat, nodded, and not long after, he transformed into jade again.

Liu Qing outside the door finally made up her mind and knocked on the door.

"Brother Shi, are you asleep?"

When speaking, Liu Qing could feel that he was trembling a little when he spoke, which was because he was nervous.

Squeak.

The door opened and Liu Qing secretly sighed.

Shi Ran smiled and asked, "What does Miss Liu want to do when she knocks on my door at night?"
