"Xiao Han, aren't you being too impulsive today? If you offend Li Moding , he will cause trouble for you at the Dragon Gate Gathering." As the group of people walked back to the inn, Chu Chouli couldn't help but whisper in Xu Han's ear.
Li Moding 's words were naturally grand, but anyone with good eyesight could tell that he was threatening Xu Han.
And if such a threat came from Li Moding 's mouth, then it was obvious that it was not as simple as alarmist rhetoric.
Hearing this, Xu Han only smiled and did not respond.
On the contrary, Yan Zhan patted Chu Chouli on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chu, what you said is wrong. In my opinion, Brother Xu's actions are extremely smart."
"What does this mean?" Chu Chouli was stunned as he looked at Yan Zhan in confusion.
Yan Zhan smiled and said, "That old man Huang actually dares to make things difficult for Brother Xu in front of so many people. Then there must be a lot of trouble between him and the Crimson Firmament Sect. Brother Xu released that old man today, and with the other party's vindictive personality, he will surely make things difficult at the Dragon Gate Meeting in the future."
"Let's just make a big fuss and show the conflict between us and the palace in front of everyone. This is Horizontal Imperial City, and behind the Dragon Gate Association are the most disciplined Sword Handling Pavilion and the Dragon Hidden Temple. They were rude first and didn't dare to make things look too ugly no matter what."
Hearing this, Chu Chouli probably understood a little. He was slightly stunned and suddenly nodded, "So there are still these sects."
At this moment, Hu Ma and the others regained their senses and looked at Xu Han with inexplicable reverence.
Xu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The group returned to the inn. After looking at Master Wei's situation and seeing that the old man was fine, everyone fell asleep peacefully.
…
Two days passed in a flash, and the Dragon Gate would begin tomorrow.
No matter how aggressive Li Moding was, Xu Han had no intention of giving up on participating.
He didn't care about the so-called Demon Suppressing Tower, What he really cared about was the Scripture Pavilion of the Dragon Hidden Temple. With the experience of these past few days, regardless of whether it was his own background or something like a half-demon, Xu Han had too many questions. Before he was able to cross those 100,000 mountains, he needed to find some clues from the Scripture Pavilion that claimed to have the richest collection of books in the world.
The past two days had passed peacefully, and nothing unusual had happened.
Xu Han knew that after they met in front of the Li Clan's palace, he couldn't hide the traces of his group. Fortunately, this was Horizontal Imperial City. No matter how determined the Scarlet Firmament Sect's sect master was to obtain the Golden Crow True Fire, he didn't seem to dare to use force here.
Soon, it was late at night. In order to cope with what might happen at the Dragon Gate Meeting, everyone went to bed early.
Lu Yashan, who was Zhen Yue's subordinate to the Four Great Diamonds, was awakened by a bath of urine in the middle of the night. After he went to the bathroom to solve this problem, he hurriedly ran back to his room.
Although it was already spring, the night in Yanzhou, which was located in the north, was still cold, and Lu Yashan was usually the most afraid of being cold.
But today, it was as if the heavens were deliberately opposing him. It was unknown if his hands were slipping or if his hands and feet were not obedient because of the cold. He pushed the door several times but did not open it.
He was cursing as he tried to knock on the door and wake up the sleeping calves in the room to open the door for him, but at that moment, a rustling sound came from the door beside him.
Lu Yashan was stunned and soon realized that it was his boss Zhen Yue's room.
Wasn't it possible that the boss had the habit of going east in the middle of the night when he woke up so late? Lu Yashan thought evilly. He was about to greet his boss, but at this moment, there was a wailing sound coming from the door on the other side. Apparently, someone was about to push the door open.
Lu Yashan's heart shook. If he remembered correctly, it should be Xu Han.
He seemed to have thought of something, and a wisp of astonishment appeared on his face, while his body quickly shrank to a corner.
When he saw what had happened a few breaths later, the seven-foot-tall man's eyes were wide open, his mouth wide, as if he could swallow his fist.
…
Hu Ma was dreaming with Miss Cui'er, the flower of the Red Orioles Square in Jizhou of the Great Zhou Empire. She was about to take off her clothes and untie them.
Wei Chen was in his dream eating the most sumptuous feast in the best restaurant in Chang'an.
Shi Yucheng was lying in the room full of gold and silver treasures, laughing foolishly.
Their dreams were shattered at the same time.
"What are you sleeping for? Something big has happened!" Lu Yashan's rough voice was like a bronze drum, waking them up from their sleep at the same time.
The three people who were suddenly awakened were somewhat confused. After a while, they finally came back to their senses. Then, they looked at each other and read the same meaning from each other's eyes.
Hence, Lu Yashan, who was in a hurry, was instantly suppressed by the three of them. Hu Ma sat on his back, Wei Chen grabbed his left hand, and Shi Yucheng opened his feet. The three of them were filled with murderous intent, and they had the posture of splitting Lu Yashan into five horses in order to avenge this beautiful dream.
"Wait! Wait!" Lu Yashan's only right hand that could still move opened its teeth and claws in midair as it roared loudly, revealing his intense desire to survive at this moment. "Listen to me, listen to me!"
Seeing him like this, the three of them glanced at each other once more before temporarily letting go of their suppression of Lu Yashan.
Hence, in the small room, Hu Ma and the other two sat upright, their expressions solemn as if they were interrogating a prisoner as they looked at Lu Yashan.
Lu Yashan lowered his head in fear.
"Speak!" Hu Ma picked up a piece of wood from somewhere and slapped it on the table. "What on earth dares to disturb our Clear Dream!"
Beside him, Wei Chen and Shi Yucheng glared at each other angrily, almost shouting the word mighty.
Lu Yashan was shocked by this imposing aura and stammered as he spat out, "The grass-dwellers … just now … saw …"
"Seeing us…"
Huma and the others were too impatient to endure Lu Yashan's shyness, and killing intent immediately surged in their eyes.
"Looks like this thief still wants to muddle through. Someone come and punish him!" Hu Ma said sternly. Looking at his serious appearance, it seemed that he had completely fused with the identity of this old master.
Wei Chen and the other two stood up and were about to walk towards Lu Yashan, looking like they were going to chop Lu Yashan into pieces with their sabers and axes on the spot.
"I saw our boss and Xu Han go out together in the night!" Just now, the scene of the three people pressing down on the ground "humiliating" was still vivid in his mind, but Lu Yashan did not dare to hide it anymore and immediately spat out what he had seen and heard.
"What?" The shocking wood in Hu Ma's hand fell to the ground.
"Boss and Xu Han?" Wei Chen's eyes widened.
"A date?" Shi Yucheng's mouth was wide enough to put down three eggs.
The three of them looked like this in the eyes of Lu Yashan, causing him to immediately sweep away the humiliation of being "humiliated" by the crowd. He stood up in a good mood and looked arrogantly at the three of them who were dumbfounded. His brows were actually lit up.
However, this color did not last long before it was broken.
Among the three, Hu Ma was the first to rush out of the room, and the two behind him also wanted to rush out.
"What are you doing!?" Seeing this, Lu Yashan was shocked and hurriedly shouted.
At that time, the three people who had already rushed to the door turned their heads to look at Lu Yashan and said, "Look at the boss. If that Xu guy were to make a move on our boss…"
However, before they could finish their words, Lu Yashan rewarded each of them with a chestnut.
Just as the three of them were about to get angry, Lu Yashan shouted at them, "Are you tired of living? Are we involved in this?"
"Old Lu, what are you saying? Then Xu Han has some abilities. However, our brothers have been living and dying for so many years, and we are not vegetarian. At worst, we will be killed!" Hu Ma, who had the fiercest temper, was the first to shout.
"That's right! We can't watch as the boss falls into that brat's hands!" Wei Chen's words quickly attracted the nod of agreement from Wei Chen, who had grown his brain to his four limbs.
"That's why, no wonder Cui'er from the Red Orioles Square doesn't like you." Hearing this, Lu Yashan's heart ached.
"What do you mean?" Hu Ma's eyes lit up when he mentioned Cui'er.
"Don't you see what boss is thinking about Xu Han? What devil palm, what move? If that's the case, then my boss would probably be willing to do it!" Lu Yashan said as if he was an expert.
"That's right. I think the way boss looks at that kid these days is different from usual." As a wall grass, Shi Yucheng and Wei Chen immediately turned their horses around and stood beside Lu Yashan.
Hu Ma, who was lacking in confidence, was speechless. He stammered for a while and finally said, "Then let's go and take a look."
"What are you going to see? Are you looking for the boss to get close to that brat? Be careful that she digs out our eyeballs!" Lu Yashan retorted.
Hu Ma blushed and thought for a while before saying, "Our boss doesn't know how this daughter's family gets along with men. Since the boss likes that kid, let's help him out!"
"But boss doesn't understand. Do we grown men understand?" Lu Yashan obviously did not want to believe Huma's words.
"Three smelly cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! It's better for the four of us to come up with a plan together than for the boss to fight alone!" Hu Ma Yan said.
"That's right! Brother Ma's words make sense!" Shi Yucheng and Wei Chen turned their horses around again and nodded in agreement.
Perhaps because of the curiosity in his heart, Lu Yashan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. In the end, he actually nodded his head, "That's right, then it's not too late. Let's move quickly. They shouldn't have gone far yet!"
"Remember, don't be discovered. Just follow me from afar. We'll see what happens then!"
As a result, the four smelly cobblers began the most special operation in their lives under the darkness of the night.
