One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

He went on this trip with the intention of dying!

He was like a candle that had burned to the end. Although his light was dimming, he still tried to send his clan members on their final journey and pass on his experience to them.

After Gao Gu and Sha Zhu exchanged a few words of greeting, Gao Gu pretended to be confused and asked him about the identities of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.

In fact, he had known the origins of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo for a long time. Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were very high-profile when they entered Xiaofangpan City. Afterwards, Zhang Qian went to meet them without any concealment. Naturally, their identities were no secret in the eyes of those who were interested.

Especially the gatekeepers and Sha Zhu's men were not the kind of people who kept their mouths shut. They told everything after drinking a few bottles of horse urine.

The descendant of Liu Hou also masters the golden escape light.

What Gao Gu didn’t understand was why such an important figure would suddenly visit the Gao family?

Sha Zhu laughed loudly and said jokingly:

"Gao Erlang and I are pretending to be confused. You have always been cautious. How could you not know the noble person next to me?"

Sha Zhu was not unaware of the character of his subordinates. It would be strange if they could really keep the secret.

Gao Gu quickly apologized and said with a smile:

"I still couldn't hide it from the eyes of County Lieutenant Sha. I just heard about it. I don't want to be like County Lieutenant Sha, who can talk to the envoy from Chang'an and travel with two immortal-like figures."

Sha Zhu put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Haha, Gao Erlang is still the best at speaking. Let me tell you..."

Ahem, why does this guy become so cocky just because someone praises him?

Feeling that Sha Zhu had strayed from the topic, Hu Xiuwu quickly coughed twice behind him and pulled him back.

Hearing Hu Xiuwu's cough, Sha Zhu immediately stopped being self-absorbed and got down to business:

"Gao Erlang, I'm here to help you solve your biggest headache right now."

Gao Gu became interested: "Oh? County Magistrate Sha, please tell me?"

"The two nobles behind me want to go to Gumo and want me to recommend a guide."

"I immediately thought of you, a capable person."

"this···"

Gao Gu looked hesitant. If it were any other time, he would have agreed long ago. However, this time they hadn't gathered all the supplies yet, and if two more people joined in, the supplies would become even tighter.

Before Gao Gu could figure out how to politely refuse this matter, Sha Zhu continued, "The envoy has specially prepared a batch of supplies for the two nobles. With these supplies, you will have enough to reach Qiuci."

After hearing Sha Zhu's words, Gao Gu was indeed moved.

His weak body has sustained him until next year, and his blood has begun to turn golden. According to the records within the clan, once it reaches this point, his body will deteriorate as rapidly and violently as a landslide. However, he still has some connections that have not been handed over to Gao Lu, and some experiences that have not been passed on.

He couldn't let this opportunity go.

Gao Lu smiled even more brightly when he thought of this, and bowed to Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo: "Since it is your request, I will definitely send you to Gumo safely."

Hu Xiuwu returned the greeting and said, "My last name is Zhang, you may call me Xiuwu. This is my younger sister, you may call her Aduo."

Gao Gu waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he could not bear the title of elder from Hu Xiuwu:

"I don't dare to call you elder, just call me Erlang."

Gao Gu was also very anxious to go to the Western Regions, so when Hu Xiuwu proposed to him the plan of setting off tomorrow and gathering at the city gate, Gao Gu agreed without thinking.

Afterwards, Gao Gu personally escorted Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo out of the house and watched them leave.

After the two left, the smile on Gao Gu's face gradually disappeared, and Gao Lu came forward:

"Uncle, these two young men are strangers. With them in the team, it would be difficult to leave quietly without alerting them."

The Zaklama people have fought against the aliens from the Jingjue Kingdom many times and know best how terrifying the aliens are.

Gao Gu stretched his stiff fingers. When they were curled up and stretched out, they were bluish-white and made a crackling sound as if they were frozen.

"It doesn't matter. At worst, we can just not go this time. Our primary goal this time is to give you all the connections and experience in the Western Region."

"After I die, you can lead the caravan independently."

"uncle!"

Gao Lu, a martial artist with great martial arts skills, was choked up with tears. His father died in Jingjue when he was young, and it was Gao Gu who brought him up. Gao Gu was like a father to him.

"Don't be a grown man and cry like a little girl. I took over the caravan from your father, and now it's your turn."

Gao Gu was quite open-minded about death. As a member of the Zaklama tribe, he had witnessed the deaths of countless relatives and friends. This time it was his turn, and he felt a sense of relief.

Looking at the receding figures of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, Gao Gu muttered to himself:

"With the participation of an extraordinary person this time, perhaps there will be unexpected gains."

Chapter 120 Departure

Although the supplies have not been collected yet, the Gao family has never slacked off during this period. They have been taking care of the goods and maintaining the horses every day so that they can set off at any time. At Gao Gu's command, all the members of the caravan started moving, making final preparations before departure.

Hu Xiuwu asked Shazhu to send people to deliver all the food and grass to the Gao family so that the Gao family could rest assured. He only put a little emergency food in the ghost tomb, and the rest was clean water.

With the abilities of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, they will not lack food in the Gobi Desert, and clean water is more important than food and fodder in the Gobi Desert.

As soon as the Gao family took action, the other caravans in Xiaofangpan City also knew the news, and everyone was very surprised.

We are all at the same starting line, why are you able to sneak ahead?

After asking around, the caravans found out that the Gao family had somehow managed to establish a relationship with the diplomatic mission.

Someone saw the Shazhu people delivering a batch of food and supplies to the Gao family. With this batch of supplies, the Gao family caravan had gathered all the food and supplies and could be one step ahead of them.

Then the rest of the caravans also asked people to use their connections, hoping that the envoy would sell them some food and fodder, but they couldn't even see the door of Zhang Qian's room, which made them very angry and jealous of the Gao family's good luck. The windy season was about to begin, and they could not set out in a short time, so they could only wait until next year.

Hu Xiuwu first asked Chen Duo to go back and pack her luggage, while he went to say goodbye to Zhang Qian. Without the food and fodder donated by Zhang Qian, the Gao family would not have agreed to set off so quickly. It was reasonable for him to find Zhang Qian and express his gratitude in person before leaving.

When Zhang Qian heard that Hu Xiuwu was coming to visit, he got up from the couch and welcomed Hu Xiuwu into the house.

After hearing Hu Xiuwu's purpose, Zhang Qian said with a smile, "Tang Yifu came back in the daytime to report that you were leaving soon, but I didn't expect that my younger brother had already found a guide in the evening."

"Adi is really decisive in his actions."

Hu Xiuwu said: "I also want to thank Brother Ziwen for the food and grass he donated. If it weren't for this batch of food and grass, I wouldn't have been able to convince the caravan to set off with me so easily."

After saying this, Hu Xiuwu took out the Qi-sealing Talisman that had accompanied him for many years from the Ghost Tomb.

Originally there were nine talismans in total, but unfortunately Yu Baiyuan destroyed seven of them, leaving only these two long Qi-sealing talismans. However, his skill in the Golden Light Spell was becoming more and more sophisticated, and he was about to break through to the realm of Qi transformation. The only two remaining talismans were of little help to him.

Hu Xiuwu said: "Brother Ziwen, I have two long Qi-sealing talismans that can seal the meridians of aliens..."

Before Hu Xiuwu could finish, Zhang Qian wanted to refuse: "Absolutely not. That little bit of food and grass is far less valuable than the knowledge you gave me. Why would I need to use talismans to offset it?"

Hu Xiuwu blinked his eyes and said mischievously:

"Brother Ziwen, please don't misunderstand. This is not a gift for you. You can't practice Qi, so it's useless to get this talisman. I'm giving this to Tang Yifu as an apology for scaring him this morning."

Scared Tang Yifu? Apologize?

Although Zhang Qian knew that this was an excuse made by Hu Xiuwu, he still felt speechless.

A kid who was not even half his age had forced him into a panic with just one move, and even came to apologize to him at night, as if their positions had been swapped, and Hu Xiuwu was the one who had practiced longer since their age.

What Hu Xiuwu said was like an adult beating up a naughty child and then coming to apologize to the child's parents in the evening.

Are you sure you are not mocking Tang Yifu?

Zhang Qian sighed speechlessly: "Forget it, just give it to me directly. I'm worried that Tang Yifu can't stand it if you say that. He is my only guard."

Hu Xiuwu obediently placed the Qi-sealing strip on the table. Zhang Qian took the strip in his hand and examined it carefully.

Although he had no talent for practicing Qi, he once served beside Emperor Wu of Han and had seen many runes offered by strange people, so he had the ability to appreciate runes.

Looking at the runes painted on the brocade, the strokes were as smooth as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and as powerful as iron painting and silver hooks.

Whether from the perspective of calligraphy or from the perspective of an extraordinary person, Zhang Qian felt that the quality of the talisman Hu Xiuwu gave him was far superior to those presented to Emperor Wu of Han, and he could not help but exclaim:

"Your master's skills are truly amazing. You can be called a master in the art of runes. However, I have never seen this rune before. Did he create it himself?"

Hu Xiuwu paused and said, "Yeah, that's right."

Zhang Qian said with emotion: "As expected, you are the descendant of Liu Hou."

I forgot, the ancestor of the Shan family is now hiding in some corner, and the Shan family's unique talisman, the Qi-Sealing Talisman, has naturally not been created yet. Fortunately, he was named the descendant of Liu Hou, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Hu Xiuwu thought secretly in his heart.

Zhang Qian put away the talisman and said, "Brother, since you are leaving tomorrow, I will not keep you here today. I will see you off tomorrow morning."

"good."

······

At daybreak, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo had already packed their things. This was the time he and Gao Gu had agreed on. The scorching sun over the Gobi Desert was too strong during the day, making it difficult to travel. In the evening, they still had to set up camp, so there was a lot to do.

Therefore, the most efficient way to travel is to take advantage of the morning light when the weather is not too hot.

Gao Gu and the caravan were already waiting for them at the city gate.

Zhang Qian had already made arrangements with Xu Yuanjin that today, Xiaoshipan City would open the city gates for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo one hour in advance to let them leave the city.

Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo are still dressed like modern people, not because they don't want to experience the characteristic costumes of the Han Dynasty.

There is no ready-made clothing store in Xiaoshipan City, or rather, there is no such thing as a ready-made clothing store in the entire Han Dynasty. If you want to make clothes at this time, you can only go to the fabric store to choose the fabric, and then ask the tailor to make it into ready-made clothes. This process will take several days.

Yesterday, Hu Xiuwu took Chen Duo to visit a tailor shop in Xiaofangpan City.

After touching the fabrics in the store and seeing the tailor's craftsmanship, Chen Duo flatly rejected Hu Xiuwu's idea of ​​buying a dress for her. This was the first time that Chen Duo rejected Hu Xiuwu so firmly.

There is only one reason: it's ugly.

There's nothing we can do about it. What kind of beautiful fabrics can a small border town produce?

After Gao Gu met Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, he told the caravan to prepare to set off. Zhang Qian kept his promise and brought Tang Yi Fu to see Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo off.

Watching the caravan disappear in the wind and sand, Zhang Qian felt quite touched, as if he had a premonition of what he would look like in a few days.

Tang Yifu couldn't stand Zhang Qian's sentimental little woman's look, and couldn't help but sneer:

"What? Are you scared? If you are scared, you can go back to Chang'an."

Zhang Qian chuckled and countered, "I'm not afraid, I just suddenly became a little worried about the guards around me. How strong are they? Are they as strong as he boasted, that one can defeat a hundred."

"You don't understand. Some people are born different. They are celestial beings who came down from the Eternal Heaven. Mortals have no way to resist them."

Tang Yifu said in awe that the scene of the sword energy running rampant that day always evoked the shadow of fear in his heart.
