Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 83: The Governor

After processing, I got a normal-level treasure chest.

Chu Danqing felt a little embarrassed that even the paradise gave him a treasure chest despite him being such a weakling.

"Sir, thank you for your help." Xiong Zhigang wiped the blood off the knife, handed it to the old servant, and bowed to Chu Danqing who came over.

"You're welcome. I saw injustice and helped." Chu Danqing replied, "It was also a coincidence that I encountered two minions burying gunpowder and preparing to blow up the road ahead."

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Zhigang's face changed slightly. In Taichang, gunpowder was prohibited from being circulated among the people.

Not to mention being owned by bandits.

"Hmph, that bunch of traitors in the court." The young man's expression became even more gloomy when he heard the word "gunpowder". "They dare not defend the border against the enemy, but they are so cruel to loyal officials."

"Now they're even using gunpowder. How despicable!"

"Alright, Mingqian." Xiong Zhigang quickly shut him up. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth. He then introduced: "This is Zhao Mingqian, a disciple of Qingsuo Lay Buddhist of the Chanluo Sect."

The young man named Zhao Mingqian couldn't help but puff out his chest and look proud when Xiong Zhigang introduced him.

Chu Danqing also introduced himself, gave his pseudonym and character, but added that he was a wandering sorcerer from the countryside, preparing to make a living in the capital.

"Mr. Chu is also going to the capital." Xiong Zhigang didn't expect such a coincidence, but he said, "Please go ahead, sir. If you go with me, you will definitely be in trouble."

Xiong Zhigang knew his situation and knew that anyone who went to Beijing with him would be ambushed and killed.

"To be honest, I still really want to know what's going on." Chu Danqing felt that a hidden task might be triggered next.

"It's nothing more than a court dispute." Xiong Zhigang sighed, "Ordinary people can't even get this gunpowder, let alone arrange it."

"The claim that the Dragon Gate boss is plotting to take the gold that Xiong doesn't even have is false. In reality, it's someone from the imperial court using this bandit to take Xiong's life."

"Mr. Chu, you'd better leave as soon as possible to avoid being affected." Xiong Zhigang explained briefly.

Zhao Mingqian became more and more indignant and started cursing.

Chu Danqing also learned about Xiong Zhigang's background from the cursing.

He was originally the General of Pingsu, but he was too upright and offended the Qiutan Party in the court. He was previously dismissed by finding an excuse when Taichang Kingdom negotiated peace with foreign tribes.

As a result, the peace talks fell through, and the other party even planned to attack us directly.

In the end, the emperor had to summon Xiong Zhigang to Beijing and intend to reinstate him.

However, this action hit the Qiutan Party's sore spot and used its own public opinion to smear and damage its reputation.

They hold high positions and control the public opinion and power of the court.

Because of his reputation as a clean official, he couldn't take direct action.

They secretly spread rumors and exposed their location, allowing the bandits to take action.

In fact, the Qiutan Party has a very good reputation. After all, the emperor does not attend court, so they can set the characters however they want.

"Mr. Chu possesses extraordinary skills, and I alone cannot handle it." Zhao Mingqian bowed and said, "I ask Mr. Chu to lend a hand to Xiong Jinglie."

"Ah, this." Chu Danqing was caught off guard by these words.

He thought Zhao Mingqian was arrogant, but he actually begged him.

"Mingqian, you come from the great Chanluo sect, and Mr. Chu is a country boy, so he can't be protected by you."

Xiong Zhigang said helplessly: "It is better not to let Mr. Chu get stuck in the quagmire."

When Zhao Mingqian heard this, he straightened up with a look of discontent in his eyes, but he also said, "I was rude."

[Side Quest: Escort Xiong Zhigang to Beijing]

[Trial Difficulty: C-Rank (Adventure)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 2000, Attribute Points +2] [Trial Failure: Paradise Points -4000]

As soon as the words fell, a side quest emerged.

Chu Danqing took it easily.

"Have you ever heard of the saying 'rare goods are valuable?'" Chu Danqing smiled. "I went to the capital to make a living."

"The Qiutan faction is so afraid of General Xiong's return to the capital, which means that if you arrive alive in the capital, you will be given an important position."

"If I can escort the governor to the capital, he will not only ensure my prosperity and wealth, but also ensure I have enough food and drink."

"This deal is worth it."

A high-ranking official who is powerful, upright and has received great favors from you, this is called a network of contacts.

Secondly, all the ambushes and kills along the way are rewarded with treasure chests.

Maybe it can trigger some tasks.

At the same time, he was also thinking that the side quests were supplementary branches of the trial quests, which meant that Xiong Zhigang's arrival in the capital alive would be of great help to Chu Danqing's trial quest.

A look of joy appeared on Zhao Mingqian's face. He had not expected such an unexpected turn of events.

"Mr. Chu is so righteous!" Zhao Mingqian responded on his behalf without waiting for Xiong Zhigang to speak.

Xiong Zhigang wanted to say something, but Chu Danqing climbed onto the carriage on his own and said, "I can't ride a horse, but it should be okay for me to ride in a carriage with Xiong Jinglie."

When the old servant saw this scene, he looked quite helpless. You have already climbed up, and what are you talking about whether it matters or not?

"Sir, you're joking. Although the carriage isn't spacious, it's still big enough for the two of us." Xiong Zhigang saw this and didn't know what to say. He got on the carriage and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

"If Xiong is truly important, you must have a share if I eat."

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Xiong Zhigang was deeply moved that a stranger was willing to risk his life to help him just by seeing his plight.

"It's a deal." This is what Chu Danqing was waiting for. The more true friends he has, the stronger Chu Danqing will be with the blood oath.

Then the three of them started chatting, and Chu Danqing’s main point was to just ask questions when he knew nothing.

His question puzzled Xiong Zhigang and Zhao Mingqian. How come you don't know anything?

However, despite his doubts, he still gave Chu Danqing a detailed explanation.

This allowed Chu Danqing to gain a deeper understanding of this trial world, which in turn turned into potentially useful intelligence.

Zhao Mingqian came from the Chanluo sect, the largest sect in the world. His master, Qingsuo Jushi, was one of the Five Elders of Chanluo, a well-known master in the world.

Hearing this, he felt a little hopeful that it wouldn't be another Guo Ming.

Then when he heard Zhao Mingqian say that he was the best of the younger generation, Chu Danqing was a little at a loss.

In his opinion, even if the best of the younger generation could not compare to Guo Yin who was holding a sword upside down in the river, he should at least be comparable to Lu Yin who was holding a phoenix spear.

But Zhao Mingqian had a hard time defeating a dozen bandits.

The gap is a bit too big.

As he gained a deeper understanding, Chu Danqing also roughly understood the situation of the trial world.

He came to a conclusion: the strength of the natives lies in their skills, and their basic attributes are not high.

He has evidence, which is Zhao Mingqian's data panel.

Chu Danqing only conducted the investigation after obtaining the other party's consent.
