Chapter 173 The Shocking Request for Help (Second Update)
Nie Zheng sat on the teacher's chair behind the desk, watching Jia Xiufang's leaving back, lost in thought.

Originally, Nie Zheng was quite happy when he learned that the Wu Sanren who helped him break the formation came to Yangzhou, but after hearing Jia Xiufang say that the Wu Sanren had plans, Nie Zheng was a little confused about the situation.

Like his own power, which is currently in a critical period of rapid development, what his subordinates lack the most is talents, especially capable people like Wu Sanren who are proficient in formations and profound arts.

However, generally capable people like this type are a group of wandering wild cranes, who are not interested in worldly things at all, so it may be difficult to recruit them into their ranks.

However, according to what Jia Xiufang said just now, the reason why Wu Sanren helped her last time and came to Yangzhou with the team this time seems to be asking for her.

If that's the case, I don't know what he wants to ask for himself?
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng secretly thought, once that Wu Sanren really came to see him in person these few days, and if there was anything he could ask for, he would definitely agree to that Wu Sanren.

Not for anything else, just because last time he helped him break through the big moat formation.

All in all, he, Nie Zheng, has always owed others a favor.

Since it is owed, it will have to be paid back sooner or later, but the heart of defense is indispensable.

Thinking to this point, Nie Zheng immediately summoned loudly: "Niu Meng!"

"Yes, handsome!"

After hearing Nie Zheng's call, Niu Meng, who was guarding outside, immediately appeared in front of Nie Zheng like an iron tower.

Nie Zheng looked up at him and said, "Niu Meng, you wait to pick some strong brothers..."

…………

The next morning, while Nie Zheng was still lying on the bed and didn't get up, he heard several guards shouting outside. "Successful Commander, someone wants to see you!"

Hearing this, Nie Zheng immediately put on his robe, opened the door, looked at the two guards and asked, "Who is here?"

The guard said respectfully: "It's an old Taoist priest, he said that the commander should know who he is."

"Old Taoist priest?"

Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he secretly guessed: "Could it be Wu Sanren?"

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately told the guard: "Invite him to the flower hall quickly, remember to be polite, I will wait for him in the flower hall."

"Yes, handsome!"

After the two guards heard the order, they immediately went down to do so.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, then quickly went to the flower hall to meet the guests.

As soon as Nie Zheng arrived at the flower hall, Niu Meng rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Master, is that man here?"

Niu Meng looked at Nie Zheng solemnly, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He must have been a little worried after Nie Zheng told him about the Wu Sanren yesterday.

Seeing that Niu Meng was so nervous about his safety, Nie Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a casual person, don't make such a nervous gaffe, besides, since he dared to meet openly, he showed his sincerity, we can't let outsiders look down upon him. "

Hearing this, Niu Meng shook his head and said: "No matter what the other party's intention is, everything is the commander's safety. I have sent people to hide around the flower hall just now, and there are five snipers among them. If those Wu Sanren If you dare to do something unfavorable to the commander in chief, I need his blood to splatter on the spot!"

Having said this, Niu Meng's face turned cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Nie Zheng waved his hand and said in a low voice, "You step back first, he will come right away."

"Yes, Commander!" Niu Meng immediately bowed and retreated.

Not long after Niu Meng stepped back, Nie Zheng heard footsteps coming from the corridor leading to the front hall. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and hurriedly looked forward.

Sure enough, in the corridor of the front door, an old Taoist priest with a thin face appeared. Under the guidance of the guards, the old Taoist walked towards the flower hall unhurriedly.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Nie Zheng began to look carefully.

I saw that the old Taoist priest was about sixty years old, wearing a yellow Taoist robe with a Taoist crown tied on top of his head. Although this man was over sixty years old, he didn't show a hunchback at all. He walked steadily with his big sleeves fluttering In between, looking from a distance, it really has such a taste of immortality.

However, when Nie Zheng looked at his appearance carefully, he obviously felt that something was out of line.

Although the old Taoist priest was unusually tall and straight, his face was unusually sallow, especially his eyes, which were dim and cloudy, and he did not have the brilliance and expression of a person who practiced martial arts at all.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was secretly surprised, thinking that Wu Sanren's face was really strange, and he had never met an old man with such a temperament before.

According to common sense, such an old man with a tall and straight figure and steady steps must have a very striking mental outlook, but looking at this Wu Sanren, his tall and straight figure is compared with the sickly and sluggish expression on his face. , It's too special, too weird.

Anyway, after Nie Zheng saw Wu Sanren, he would have a strange illusion in his heart. He felt that Wu Sanren's body and head did not belong to the same person at all.

This strange feeling is like a young body, forcibly fitted with the head of a 60-year-old man.

Even though Nie Zheng thought that Wu Sanren looked weird, there was nothing strange on his face, because that Wu Sanren had already entered the flower hall.

"Wu Sanren, poor Taoist, has seen the commander!" The old Taoist saluted Nie Zheng with one palm across his chest.

This old Taoist priest is so strange, he calls himself a poor Taoist and an undisciplined person.

But it's strange, it's strange, Nie Zheng didn't dare to trust a capable person with real ability, immediately he walked up to Wu Sanren, politely returned a salute, and said with a smile: "Sanren, don't worry about it!" Please be seated quickly."

After saying that, he invited Wu Sanren to sit across from the tea table. At this moment, a county maid obediently came up to serve tea for the two of them, and then retreated consciously.

After the Wu Sanren sat down firmly, Nie Zheng said with a smile all over his face: "Last time, thanks to the scattered people who sent the method of breaking the formation, this allowed Nie to break through the city defense smoothly. Here, Nie would like to thank the scattered people for their help." Yes. Originally, after learning that Sanren had entered the city, Nie wanted to go to Wuye Temple to pay his respects in person, but he never thought that Sanren would have a distinguished guest in person today, which made Nie rude."

Wu Sanren waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are welcome, Marshal. I came here today to ask for something."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng was taken aback for a moment.

He never expected that this Wu Sanren would be so straightforward, straight to the point as soon as he came up, which made him feel a little abrupt.

The series of changes in Nie Zheng's expressions all fell into the eyes of Wu Sanren. He pondered for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Perhaps the commander-in-chief will think that Pindao is a bit abrupt, but this matter is of great importance to Pindao. , is imminent, so I have to get straight to the point."

Soon, Nie Zheng's expression returned to normal. Immediately, he picked up the teacup and said calmly, "I don't know what the scattered people want to ask for? As long as it is within the scope of Nie's ability, he will try his best to satisfy the scattered people's request. "

Wu Sanren took a deep look at Nie Zheng, and said, "I heard that the commander-in-chief has a firearm that can turn rivers and seas in his hands. I don't know if this is true or not?"

As soon as this remark came out, Nie Zheng's hand holding the teacup froze, secretly a little shocked, thinking how did he know that he had a depth charge?Could it be that the story about me blowing up water monkeys in Yuanjiang last time got out?Or he was there at the time, but we didn't find him.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng said indifferently: "I do have this thing, but only I can control it. Why, scattered people are very interested in this thing?"

Hearing this, Wu Sanren's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in great surprise: "It turns out that the commander-in-chief really has such a fetish, it's great, it's really great!"

Seeing that he was so excited suddenly, Nie Zheng was puzzled. This guy behaved too abnormally. How could he be so happy after knowing that he had a depth charge?It's like an orphan who has been separated for many years and found his parents.

After a while, Wu Sanren also seemed to realize that he had lost his composure just now. Immediately, in order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, and continued: "The poor man has something to ask, and I hope the commander-in-chief can help you." promise."

Nie Zheng frowned, and said, "Scattered people might as well come and listen, and see if Nie can do it."

Wu Sanren nodded, and said slowly: "Pindao wants to ask the Marshal to help, and follow him to Gulongkeng."

"An ancient dragon pit?"

Nie Zheng frowned, and said, "Where is the Gulong Pit? What do scattered people do there?"

Hearing this, Wu Sanren's expression darkened suddenly, he sighed deeply, and said, "Today, Pindao should tell the truth to the Marshal. In fact, the day the Marshal led the army across the river, Pindao happened to be nearby. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that the Marshal killed all the water monkeys hiding in the bottom of the river using those gods that overwhelmed the river, that scene shocked the poor Taoist deeply, and at the same time made the poor Taoist extremely excited."

At this point, he paused, looked at Nie Zheng and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Pindao practiced kung fu ten years ago, and his cultivation has already dissipated. , wandering people like us, who are indifferent to fame and wealth by nature, never participate in secular disputes, and like to act straightforwardly, and don't like to beat around the bush.

Pindao came here today to let the commander-in-chief help Pindao go to Gulongkeng to hunt for the 'Dragon Mang', because Pindao's meridian has been damaged for many years, and he took many panacea, but he failed to recover from his injury, but the injury worsened Seriously, later Pindao accidentally discovered in an ancient book, saying that as long as the dragon python is found, the damaged meridian can be completely healed, thereby restoring the cultivation base and strength.As long as the commander-in-chief agrees to help, Pindao will definitely repay him a hundred times after the matter is completed! "
