How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 350
[350. Chapter 350 Lu Gan’s Brother]
At the end of June, the scorching heat has arrived.
The heaven and earth are like a big oven, and the sunlight is like lava, pouring into every corner of the world.
When the air blows onto a person’s body, it’s like a flowing fire rushing towards him, trying to burn him to ashes.
In such hot weather, there were surprisingly few pedestrians passing by on the official road. Even the summer cicadas on the plum trees on both sides of the official road were listless, and it took a long time before they called out.
“Dad, no one has come for half an hour. Let’s close the stall.”
At this time, in a simple tea stall beside the official road, a boy of about fifteen years old in linen clothes half leaned on the table and shook his sunflower fan wildly.
“Wait a little longer.”
The middle-aged man next to him frowned slightly, looking towards the green mountains in the distance.
Although this official road is remote, it is at the junction of the two states. No matter how hot the weather is, there should be people passing by. Why is there no one there for half an hour?
Suddenly, he saw a figure appearing at the end of the winding official road.
The figure kept jumping up and down, from far to near, rushing towards this side. After a dozen breaths, the person arrived outside the tea stall.
He is a man in blue shirt who is eight feet tall and has an ordinary appearance.
He wore a pair of mango shoes, with a silver sword and gourd hanging on his waist, and a green bamboo staff in his hand, like a poor swordsman.
“Master, please sit down!”
The young man in sackcloth immediately jumped up, wiped the table and chairs quickly, and said in a blur: “What do you want to drink, hero? We have cold boiled water, chrysanthemum, Pu’er, hawthorn tea… But in the end What’s delicious is the special iced sour plum soup. Do you want a bowl? It only costs ten cents!”
“Okay, give me a bowl.”
The swordsman in blue smiled and placed ten cents on the table. “Are there any more fennel beans? Give me a plate.”
“Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!”
The young man put the coins away respectfully, turned around and walked to the tea stall to scoop up the sour plum soup.
The middle-aged man next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This swordsman looks poor, but his smile is quite elegant and easy-going, and he does not look like a villain.
“Please use it slowly, hero!”
Soon, the young man placed a bowl of sour plum soup in front of the man in green shirt, and also brought fennel beans.
Strangely, the swordsman in blue took out a jade and threw it into the sour plum soup, then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
“That’s right! The sour plum soup is not mixed with water!”
After drinking the bowl, Gululu, the swordsman in blue, felt cold all over, sour and comfortable, as if he had jumped into ice water.
He nodded with satisfaction, pushed the porcelain bowl, took off the gourd from his waist, and said with a smile, “Here is another bowl, fill it up for me.”
“Okay!”
The young man looked happy and quickly took the gourd.
After a while, the young man put the gourd on the table: “My hero, your gourd is full. Please give me a total of eighty cents.”
“Yes.”
The swordsman in green took out a broken piece of silver and threw it to the young man, and asked casually. “There should be no bandits around here, right?”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly replied: “Don’t worry, heroes. This place is close to Jianye County, Youzhou. The government often comes to inspect and eliminate bandits. Everything will be fine.” “
Really?”
The swordsman in blue smiled meaningfully and said nothing, just quietly drinking sour plum soup and eating fennel beans.
This person is naturally Lu Gan.
He set out from Qingyang County and rushed along the official road. In four or five days, he left Qingzhou and entered the Shiwanzhong Mountains at the junction of the two states.
Along the way, he followed the official road and chose remote paths.
Sure enough, he encountered many bandits and robbers on the road who were trying to steal money. Lu Qian was naturally unceremonious and killed them all the way.
By the way, seven mountain strongholds were also demolished and 82 people including the elderly, weak, women and children were rescued.
He also harvested more than three hundred taels of gold, plus a bunch of junk martial arts secrets.
Surprisingly, in just ten days, Tianya Haijiao and Jingtao Palm were promoted to the second level.
It seemed like everything came naturally without any obstacles.
His swordsmanship has also improved a lot.
If this continues, within three months, all of his martial arts will be able to improve by one or two levels.
Tap tap tap.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came into my ears.
Lu Qian frowned slightly.
A moment later, a black horse came galloping from a distance like lightning. On the horse was a powerful middle-aged man wearing a bodyguard’s silver armor.
Behind him were several golden escort flags, with the four black characters “Shenque Escort Agency” embroidered on them.
Call.
The man in silver armor reined in the black horse, stopped outside the tea stall, and drove around a few times. His sharp and scrutinizing eyes swept over Lu Gan and the others, looking very wary.
“You three, I’m sorry!”
The next moment, he handed over to Lu Gan and the others, took out a whistle from his sleeve, and blew it directly.
Three short and three long.
As the sharp whistle spread, the sound of dense horse hooves came in the distance.
A team of dozens of escorts appeared on the official road and rushed towards this side.
“The escort master did not follow the right path of Yangguan, but came to such a narrow road?”
Lu Qian frowned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart.
At this time, the middle-aged stall owner had already come forward to greet him: “It turns out to be the escort, please come inside. I have some iced sour plum soup here, please!”
“Well, bring me whatever you can drink!
” , a silver-haired old man with bright eyes dismounted from his horse and floated into the tea shed.
Suddenly, the temperature of the hot air around him dropped sharply and became slightly cold.
“Xuan level body skills, Wandering Dragon Bagua Steps, Earth level middle level internal skills, Xuan Bing Qi. The cultivation level should be around ninety orifices.”
Lu Gan glanced at it, and the martial arts used by the old man immediately came to mind.
Immediately after the old man in silver came in, there were two pretty women dripping with sweat. One was in her mid-20s and tall, and the other was about 23 years old and a bit petite.
“Young hero, would you like to set up a table?”
Several escorts came over and bowed their hands to Lu Gan.
“Please.”
Lu Qian nodded lightly.
“Thank you!”
The escort thanked him and sat down, drinking tea to quench his thirst and chatting quietly.
Although they all looked relaxed, their hands kept holding the weapons at their waists, and they scanned the surroundings with vigilance. There were still a small number of people guarding the horses and escorts.
“This is a team of well-trained and experienced escorts.”
Lu Qian nodded secretly in his heart and prepared to get up and leave.
At this time, suddenly the 26-year-old tall female bodyguard frowned and said: “Boss, who do you think is the kind person who helped us eliminate the bandits? Along the way we came across eight burned-out cottages. The thief died on the spot. This method of killing on the spot does not look like something done by the government.”
“Although I don’t know who the person was, he must have a high level of cultivation. There is a palm mark on the chest of the dead bandit. Killed with one blow, no one knows what kind of sharp palm technique it is!”
The big man in silver armor from before said in a deep voice.
“It’s not a one-shot kill.”
The old man in silver put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, his eyes were shining brightly, and he uttered an astonishing sentence: “Every palm shatters the heart, but does not hurt the heart. Those robbers and bandits choked on blood and suffocated to death. Damn it! Moreover, it is not one kind of palm technique, but eight different palm techniques! “
“What!”
After hearing the words of the silver-armored old man, all the escorts fell on the spot. Take a breath of air.
One person has practiced eight kinds of earth-level palm techniques? How can it be! But the escort leader has been practicing escorts for many years and is extremely experienced. His vision should not be wrong.
There are twenty-three types.
Lu Qian on the side added silently in his heart.
“Could he be a master of Feitian Realm?” the tall female escort asked in surprise.
“How can a master in the Flying Heaven Realm have such leisure?” The petite female bodyguard sitting next to her smiled: “In my opinion, it should be a hero who is doing chivalry and doing harm to the people!”
“It makes sense! I think this person is most likely the Wu Zhuangyuan Lu Gan you called in your dream last night! I seem to have heard you calling the Wu Zhuangyuan Xianggong!”
the tall female escort said with a smile.
“You, you, you! You are talking nonsense!”
Upon hearing this, the petite female escort defended with a blushing face: “I dreamed about that martial arts champion Lu Qian, but I never called him husband! Besides, it’s just a dream. Can…can you take it seriously?”
“Oh! Someone has a dream!”
The tall female escort suddenly realized and joked again.
Suddenly, all the escorts around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside and outside the tea stall was filled with joy.
“Hmph! That Wu Zhuangyuan is a peerless genius, and he has also been named the King of Youzhou. He is the dream lover of Daxuan’s nine billion girls. I dreamed that there was something wrong with him!”
The petite female escort was laughed at by everyone, and her mentality collapsed. Yes, the can was broken and the road was broken.
This sentence made people chuckle again.
Suddenly, a voice from the side came: “I think the martial arts champion Lu Qian is nothing more than that.”
Oh.
Everyone turned their heads suddenly and looked at the person who spoke.
It was the man in green shirt with the bamboo stick beside him.
“Hmph! That Lu Zhuangyuan has already cultivated to the 60th level of the Gangqi realm at the age of nineteen. He defeated Han Zhong and Bai Yuzhu, the geniuses of Guiluo Kingdom and Universiade Dynasty, and became famous all over the world! Who are you? What do you have? Why do you have the right to look down on Lu Gan?”
The petite female escort stared at him with an angry look.
“Nineteen years old and sixty orifices, isn’t that amazing?”
The man in green shirt smiled lightly and cupped his hands: “My surname is Wu, and my last name is the character “pine”. I am also nineteen years old, but I am already at the peak of the Gang Qi realm, one hundred and ten. “
Three Apertures”
“Lu Qian? In my eyes, he is just a younger brother!”
Thank you for your reward (°°)
