Chapter 360 A Blessing In Disguise

The next day, it was dawn and Xu Han was waiting outside the city gate with Xuan'er and Aowu.

Today's Yellow Sand Town was obviously very different from yesterday. The soldiers that they had never seen before were guarding the city gates this morning. Those who entered the city were easy to say, but it was much more troublesome to leave the city. They searched and searched. Xu Han and the guard delayed for half an hour before successfully escaping.

It was rumored that the large family of Lu Yuwai in the west of the town had suffered a thief disaster yesterday. Everything valuable in the family had been looted. The money-loving Lu Yuwai had fainted several times in a hurry. The government did not dare to offend this Lu Yuwai, who had a big character as a relative in the Great Xia Dynasty Hall, and hurriedly sealed the city gate early in the morning. This was the reason why Xu Han had such a lucky encounter.

"Looks like we have a good life." After leaving the city gate, Xu Han found the place he had previously agreed with Chu Chouli. He patted Xuan'er's head with satisfaction and said with a smile.

The tighter the guards at the city gate were, the heavier the losses outside the city gate would be, and the richer Chu Chouli's harvest would be.

In less than an hour, Chu Chouli, who was carrying a large bag of things, poked his head out of the depths of the forest with a ghostly face and waved at Xu Han from afar.

"Xiao Han, Xiao Han." The burly man ran to Xu Han excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to share his battle results. He reached out and was about to pick out the things in his bag. "Guess what I got?"

"Huh?" Xu Han was also excited. Strangely, he did not stop Chu Chouli. Even Xuan'er and Aowu, who were standing at the side, came over and stared at the bag in Chu Chouli's hand curiously.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to have such a concept in his mind, nor did he conceal the fact that he took out the things in the bag one by one. He even said as if he knew a lot of treasures, "Jade Purple Light Bracelet, Mahogany Sandalwood, Gu Changfeng's calligraphy and painting from the previous dynasty, Bronze Gourd…"

In less than ten breaths, The ground in front of Xu Han was already filled with various colored objects. Xu Han could not tell whether it was true or not. It was just that Chu Chouli had lived in Jianghu for many years. Although he sometimes acted unrestrained, he had never been vague about money. From the expression on his face, Xu Han felt that the things in front of him were probably enough for them to walk to Yanzhou comfortably.

"Tsk tsk, this Grand Xia is different. A member of the outer clan at the border is so rich. If he goes to Yan Zhou, tsk tsk …" Chu Chouli rubbed his hands together, as if he wanted to do something big.

Seeing this scene, Xu Han could only secretly pray for the nobles of Great Xia.

"Isn't this little brother?" However, at this moment, an aged voice suddenly sounded not far away.

Chu Chouli instinctively put away a stack of items on the ground. His speed was so fast that even Xu Han could not compare to it.

On the other hand, Xu Han turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from. He saw an old man carrying a large wooden box on his back, standing on the path and waving at Xu Han. It was yesterday that he released the old man who was singing the opera from his encirclement.

"Old sir, what are you doing?" Xu Han walked over to the old man with a smile and asked respectfully.

"Haha, I can only sing that part of the play. Naturally, I will walk around. Otherwise, if a person is tired of listening to it, they won't be able to earn any money." The old man replied. Then, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that there was a big case in Huangsha Town yesterday. The outer house of that Lu Clan member was looted. The guards at the city gate are exceptionally strict today. This old man stood in line early in the morning and finally let him go. I don't want the little brother to come out earlier than this old man."

After the old man finished speaking, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at the heavy bag behind Chu Chouli.

The guilty Chu Chouli waved his hand at the old man with a fake smile, but his body moved a short distance without revealing any traces, blocking the old man's line of sight.

Xu Han's heart skipped a beat at that time. He carefully sized up the old man in front of him and even tried to sense his opponent's cultivation, but it didn't matter at all. Therefore, he could only calm his mind and quietly ask, "Then where is the old gentleman going?"

"Yanzhou." The old man's face was still full of smiles, as if he hadn't noticed Xu Han and Chu Chouli's abnormal situation.

Chu Chouli was a straightforward person. Seeing that the other party did not seem to care about him stealing things, he carried the big bag of things on his shoulder and walked to the old man's side. He said carelessly, "That feeling is good. We also want to go to Yan Zhou. This is a good time for us to travel together."

Chu Chouli's temperament was very similar to Xu Han's. Yesterday, the old man released them from their encirclement. Since the old man was on the same path as them, in Chu Chouli's opinion, it was not bad to be able to take care of them along the way.

"This is not appropriate. My body and bones cannot compare to yours. If I delay your journey, how can I afford it?" At that time, the old man waved his hand repeatedly and was about to decline.

"No problem, it won't take long." Xu Han also spoke at that time. After inspecting the old man's body without feeling any energy fluctuations, he temporarily let go of the alertness he had previously aroused. He thought that there were still five months before the Swordsman Convention was held. Even if there was a delay, it wouldn't hurt. Since the old man was on the same path and had done good deeds yesterday, Xu Han naturally had no reason to ignore it.

The old man thought for a moment before finally nodding calmly.

As a result, a companion appeared on the trip to Yan Zhou. The group of people set off again. However, neither Xu Han nor Chu Chouli noticed that the old man's right hand suddenly flicked and a divine light flew into the cloth bag behind Chu Chouli like an arrow leaving a string. It was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture.

In the gradually fading Yellow Sand Town behind them, Officer Lu, who hadn't found the thief for a day, returned home in a daze. Just as he was about to sigh, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that in that courtyard, many of the items he had lost were lying there, as if he had never left.

…

Just as night fell, the three of them finally arrived at the third city, Flooding Lake City.

Chu Chouli's back was filled with precious treasures. After finding the inn, he paid for the old man's room very straightforwardly. Although the old man insisted on paying for the room himself, he did not lose sight of Hero Chu's heroic expression. After Chu Chouli finished all this, he excitedly pulled Xu Han into the room.

"You said that this old man is also true. I saw that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand this big box. He kindly wanted to help him carry some road. He really thought that I wanted to deceive him. He didn't even think about what Grandpa Chu was carrying behind his back." After entering the room, Chu Chouli couldn't help but mumble, cursing the depressing matter of being rejected on the road today with good intentions.

"Alright, why are you angry with the old gentleman? Find a black market to get rid of these things later, otherwise it would be inappropriate to carry so many things on your back." Xu Han said indifferently, not denying Chu Chouli's criticism.

"Right, right, right. These things can definitely be bought at a good price." Speaking of this matter, Chu Chouli instantly forgot about his previous unhappiness. He said excitedly, stretching out his hand and pulling open the cloth bag. He wanted to take out the things inside, but he still kept saying, "When I sell these things today, we'll go eat a big meal. Awoo, what do you want to eat?" Braised chicken? Steamed fish? Big pig feet? '"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof

Finally, he didn't forget to tease Aowu, who cared about the identity of the werewolf race.

However, before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed. The movement of reaching into his bag was as if someone had cast a spell, and he froze on the spot.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Chu Chouli, who was about to rise up, had suddenly lost his breath, Xu Han was also very surprised.

However, Chu Chouli obviously ignored Xu Han's thoughts. He lifted the cloth bag, turned it upside down, and then shook the things he brought out.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Along with a soft sound, everything inside appeared before Xu Han's eyes.

At that time, Xu Han was also stunned, and an unbelievable expression appeared in his eyes.

Previously, the items that were clearly of great value had all turned into stones of varying sizes.

As a result, the wailing of the middle-aged man could be heard in the small inn at that time.

"My roasted chicken!"

"My steamed fish!"

"My big pig feet!"
