Chapter 16 Secretly Become Stronger
Azhao changed into colorful black clothes. Black looked so solemn when worn by others because it was 'plain', but the black clothes on his body were decorated like a Christmas tree. Moreover, he and Diamond carried them, and they were all colorful.
Diamonds, here use pink diamonds to embroider a cloud, and that use yellow diamonds to make a bird.
There are also green trees, red flowers, purple pavilions...
"Long time no see, hero!" There was no one behind Azhao. He came alone. The wounds on his body were almost healed, and he no longer wore the human skin mask on his face.
"How did you find us?" I asked again.
"That potato sprout said that she has a louder mouth than a myna." Ah Zhao moved a chair by himself and sat down at the table.
"Bailiya?"
"That's right."
"What's the matter with you?" Baili Ya went to Yuancheng. If Azhao heard the news about us from her, then he came here from Yuancheng.
"I want to let you know that I'm safe. My little one, oh, my princess has woken up and everything is fine."
I raised my eyebrows at him, waiting for his next words.
The princess of his family is not related to me, and she is fine, so there is no need to report to me.
"As expected, you found out, it's not surprising at all." Azhao took out his handkerchief, rolled it up in his hand and played with it.
"You guys are so arrogant, it's hard not to know."
"The princess has agreed to marry Mr. Lu, but some people don't want their two families to get married. We need a helper."
Azhao changed the topic as fast as he could change his face in Sichuan Opera, but I didn't follow his pace.
After he finished speaking, I didn't answer and drank tea quietly.
"Give me money." He stretched out his tentacles to test.
I still don't speak. Will the Wulin Alliance and the royal family of Jiu Shuang Kingdom be short of people?
A marriage between two families will be opposed and secretly sabotaged by others. This is something everyone can imagine.
Can the two families be prepared at all?
For two hundred thousand taels, I could take on the entire Golden Gu Association, but I couldn't do it no matter how much money I was given because I was caught in the overt and covert fights between the Wulin Alliance and the royal families of various countries.
A-Zhao offered inducements at first, but when he saw that I was unmoved, he changed his mind to threats.
He said that the Golden Gu Society has secret contacts with various sects in the Jianghu, and if I offend the Golden Gu Society, there will be endless troubles. Their people cannot defeat me, and they can ask experts from other sects to assassinate me.
It seems that finding a big tree to lean against is my only option.
"If you and your master didn't betray me, who would have known that Jin Gu and I would have a grudge?" I smiled, my eyes fell on Ah Zhao's face, looked into his eyes and said: "Betray me, you and your master... are responsible for it"
Any consequences?"
Without waiting for Ah Zhao to reply, I immediately said: "If someone from the Golden Gu Society comes to see me, whether it is the leaked information from you two or not, I will blame you. Am I clear?"
"If where is the hero, how can you and Jin Gu have any enmity? They are completely unrelated people. Jin Gu will kidnap the princess of our country. This is a capital crime. Jiu Shuang Kingdom will not let them go. These people have committed heinous crimes and must be punished.
We will destroy their nest so that they can no longer harm others!"
"That's right."
He changed his attitude, and I was happy to play dumb.
The secret guard Xian Shao is walking around the world, but assassination is his best skill. Coupled with my superpower, it is still very easy to kill the princess.
It was originally a cooperative relationship, and the money and goods were cleared after the task was completed. If you dare to threaten me afterwards, then don't live!
Does the princess dare to trade with the common people?
Azhao is not stupid. He will not fall out with me unless he is 100% sure of getting rid of me.
Ever since I used my supernatural powers to help me practice the skills in the sarcophagus secret book that night, my internal strength has skyrocketed in recent days, as if I had practiced magic skills, but there is no sign of going crazy.
Even if some damage was caused to the body during exercise, it was repaired with supernatural powers.
In fact, even if I really practice magic, my life will not be in danger. Even if my body is riddled with holes, my healing powers can be fully restored.
What's more, it's a miraculous skill with no side effects. If you practice it casually, it will take someone else ten years of hard training.
And I am practicing very seriously. I haven’t been out in the past few days. If I want to buy anything, I have to ask the waiter to run errands.
Yunzhou played with his building blocks, while I meditated and practiced Qigong.
Azhao would never have imagined that my martial arts would improve so much after a few days. Even if my martial arts remained at the same level as a few days ago, he would not dare to fall out with me face to face.
He obviously doesn't want to make a one-time deal. This matter cannot be negotiated, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
He paid the waiter to buy a table of food and wine and treat Yunzhou and I to dinner.
He tried his best to lighten the atmosphere and blew a bunch of rainbow farts to calm me down.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, he was a little drunk, his face was as red as a monkey's butt, the hand holding the wine glass was dangling, and he spilled half of the glass before it reached his mouth.
"Hero, have you heard? Something big happened in Yuancheng!" His tongue was a bit stiff and his words were slurred.
The Wulin League sealed off Yuancheng and surrounding towns, prohibiting anyone from leaving the city. Some people had long said that something big had happened to Yuancheng.
But the charlatan in the small town left in a hurry, and I had no interest in asking, so I still don’t know what happened.
I shook my head, picked up some green onions, dipped them in some sauce, and put them in my mouth.
Recently, I am practicing eating foods with strong flavors, such as green onions and miso, which I would never touch. Her body has developed some instinctive habits, and I am slowly changing them.
"The old alliance leader has been poisoned~" Azhao told me 'quietly' in a low voice even after drinking too much.
He grinned: "But to the outside world, it is said that Qiongyu Pavilion was stolen and we want to catch the thief. In reality... we want to catch the murderer who poisoned it."
"Will he die?" I asked.
"Yes." Ah Zhao drank down a glass of wine and added another glass, "If we can't find the antidote within a month, we will die."
"The marriage was blown?"
"Leader Lu cannot show up, so the wedding will naturally be postponed. Only a few people know about the poisoning of the leader. If this matter leaks out, it will cause chaos~"
"Why did you tell me?"
"It's...you can definitely keep it a secret. The secret guards are very tight-lipped and will kill you if you don't tell me!" Azhao's drunken eyes were dim and he smiled foolishly.
"Secret guard?" I have special powers. I can't get drunk even if I soak in a wine pool. I still don't blush or feel dizzy after drinking.
"Here~ that noble man, you are his secret guard, Tudou Yaozi said." Azhao cooed at Yun Zhou.
The potato sprouts in his mouth should be Baili Ya. She suffered a loss from us and must have complained to others after arriving in Yuancheng. Even Azhao knew the details.
"No wonder... you are not relatives, you are a strong martial artist, but you carry a burden, let's be honest~ I also guessed that you are his child bride, sold as a petty to his family to be a fool's wife."
Azhao was confused after drinking, and said everything he could think of. Although his martial arts skills were high, he was not so tactful in terms of human relations.
It is estimated that he has been in the palace since he was a child and has rarely had the opportunity to come out. Moreover, he must have lived a good life in the palace and has not experienced any setbacks.
I can use my supernatural power to detect and know that he is really drunk and not pretending to be drunk.
If you get drunk in front of strangers, you are not very vigilant.
