number one leader

Chapter 70 Farewell
The sky was gloomy, and there seemed to be dark clouds on the edge of the night. The atmosphere was oppressive for a while, like deep water in a quagmire, making people breathless.

At this moment, Chu Sheng and a few others, who are full of internal energy and slightly stronger in martial arts, have already woken up, but they are facing this situation.

Yang Yuanzhi devoted himself to seeking fame and fame, for which he was despised all the way, but he would always risk his life, just to get the promise from the magistrate, that he would be useful when he came back from this trip.But he was trembling all the way, and suffered many injuries. Who would have thought that Linjiang City was right in front of him, but he stepped on the ground.Everything was as straight as a mirror, and in the end it was nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket.

At this time, he was standing on the side of the road, full of remorse and anger slumped in his chest. Looking back under the moonlight, he saw that Hong Xuan was also squatting by the roadside with a dejected face, his big naked head was shining in the moonlight. As if reflecting light.

"Fool! Trash!" He cursed with a livid face, wishing he could step forward and cut off the bald head, thinking that his future would be ruined in this guy's hands.

Yang Yuanzhi felt uncomfortable, so how could Hong Xuan be calm, he was forced by Wang Zhifu to take the bodyguard.Now that Master Lai died, and the bodyguard was also taken away by thieves, he returned to Luolong City, but he didn't know how to explain it, he must have accepted the little shoe from the Prefect Wang.

Therefore, in terms of anger, Hong Xuan couldn't hold back his anger, how could he be scolded by Yang Yuanzhi for nothing.Immediately, he stood up suddenly, his hands and feet were still a little numb, and he said without hesitation: "Yang Yuanzhi is very capable! But I'm still in control of the darts all the way! Otherwise, you will use your ability to pull these brothers together?"

"Speaking of reality, what did you, Yang Yuanzhi, do besides making noise all the way and making everyone dissatisfied? How can your contribution be as great as mine!?"

Yang Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and wanted to pull out his sword fiercely, but Hong Xuan also stared at him, holding the white wax pole with one hand, and he also looked quite majestic.

Chu Sheng had no choice but to persuade them in two more places, separating the two of them with Li Yunqiu one by one, so as to avoid an internal conflict.

It's just that right now, the dart has been moved out, so what to do next is still a matter of discussion.

Li Yunqiu didn't feel much in his heart, but he suggested indifferently: "If not, I'll go up and chase those thieves later?"

Chu Sheng, on the other hand, listened silently and did not speak.

Hong Xuan scratched his bald head in distress, frowned and sighed: "The night is dark, how can we find them? Besides, when we were recruited, the moon was just rising, but now the moon is already high. After all these Shi Chen, that group of people must have run far away."

"What's more, everyone hasn't recovered yet, why don't I wait for three or four people to chase after that group of people?"

Although his words were frustrating, they were actually sincere words, and everyone thought the same for a while, so there was no objection.

At the end, Chu Sheng raised his eyes to look at Hong Xuan, and asked, "Since that's the case, what should I do next?"

"Continue to Linjiang City? Or return along the way? There must be an explanation."

Hong Xuan looked at the bright moon, the night in the early spring was still a bit cold, and his heart was getting colder and colder, so he lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I'm still going to Linjiang City. Let's go back along the way tomorrow morning. "

But Yang Yuanzhi spoke quietly at this moment, and said: "I am going to Linjiang City."

"Aren't you coming back?"

"What do you take back to life? Can't you take my head?" Yang Yuanzhi snorted. He had a lot of contact with the prefect, so he naturally understood his temperament.If the birthday plan is lost, the person in charge will definitely not have good fruit to eat.But Hong Xuan is not an official in the army after all, even if Wang Zhifu is furious, what he suffers is nothing, the dignified magistrate will not be able to personally attack him and his people.

Although Mr. Lai is the person directly in charge, all of them are dead. No matter how angry Wang Zhifu is, he will not fall on a dead person.

That being the case, if he went back by himself, then of course Wang Zhifu's monstrous anger would have to be resisted by himself.

He thought to himself: "My mother dragged me to grow up. There are three brothers and sisters. It is not easy. I, Yang Yuanzhi, also have a dignified appearance. I have a dignified body, moreover, I have eighteen kinds of martial arts, and I have relatives. , how to return to die."

"Instead of returning with the bodyguard team today to suffer the anger, it is better to leave now and look around for some opportunities. At that time, the gangster said that my knife is a special joint knife made by the Yang family. If that is the case, it is better Let’s go there and try our luck, if we don’t know whether it will be very prosperous or not, the future can be expected!”

This person is really a person who is blinded by fame and fortune, but at this time, he still doesn't give up, and he is still obsessed with trying his luck everywhere.

But at this moment, Hong Xuan suddenly raised his head and said, "It's okay for you to leave, but I need to keep this knife."

Yang Yuanzhi's eyes were full of evil, so he turned to look at him, put his hands on the handle of the knife, and secretly summoned up his strength.

This knife was left by his late father, it is the most precious treasure he can't give up, how could he allow others to snatch it.

Hong Xuan also squinted his eyes, and said plausibly: "Why! How about you still not admitting it?"

"Master Lai promised me this saber! I paid back with silver darts, and there were people who witnessed it at that time, so you can't deny it!"

"Then who did you say was the witness that day?"

"Wu Yong!"

"He is one of the five rats in the daytime, and he is dead, so you can say whatever you want?"

Hong Xuan was also a little troubled in his heart, then Master Lai was also dead, what should he do now?
This sword is a good sword, even worth ten thousand taels. If it is obtained, it will be worth some losses, so he is really jealous.

While thinking about it, someone jumped out of his heart, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Chu Sheng.

Yang Yuanzhi also looked at the knife, and the eyes of both sides fell on Chu Sheng at the same time, and they both listened to his statement and stood in line.

Chu Sheng was calm and composed, pressed his sword forward and said: "At that time, I avoided the table and left. I certainly didn't do this testimony."

Hong Xuan was worried, and hurriedly interrupted: "But this thing does exist!"

"I know that." Chu Sheng nodded, and without waiting for Hong Xuan to say anything else, he approached Hong Xuan with a cold face, and whispered in Hong Xuan's ear: "But chief escort Hong, don't try your own sword!"

The meaning of the words was that if Hong Xuan and Yang Yuanzhi fought over this matter, Chu Sheng would not intervene.

Chu Sheng was like this, so Hong Xuan couldn't help but look at Li Yunqiu, but this old slicker couldn't avoid this kind of thing, he quickly shook his hand and said: "I am the same as the head of Chu."

Before my family was awake, the people in front of me showed their attitudes, but Hong Xuan never thought about Ye Zhiming's attitude.He is a practical person. In his opinion, Ye Zhiming, who has lost his right arm, is no different from a disabled person, so he is not aware of it and is a little neglected.

Thoughts turned around in his mind, Hong Xuan suddenly looked at Chu Sheng again, thinking about it secretly.

In the battle with the Taihu bandits, Chu Sheng tried his best to save the game, showing his high-strength martial arts, as if he would be a real master of the rivers and lakes in the future.As for the matter in front of him, it is obviously impossible to force it, so why can't he take this opportunity to give Chu Sheng a favor?Climb a relationship?

Thinking about how much pressure your own bodyguard agency will face in the future, it may need a powerful sect to guide and take care of it.

With this wishful thinking, he replied in a low voice: "I have a son named Jingze, this year is the age of Zongjiao, he learned some rough kung fu from me before."

"It's just that, these years I've been busy with Escort affairs and neglected to discipline; secondly, I know what's in my mind, my martial arts are only mediocre, and children's kung fu is always difficult to improve, so I always think about it."

When these words came out, Chu Sheng vaguely guessed what he meant, but he didn't stop him, just listened to him.

In fact, Hong Xuante, the bodyguard, invited Ye Zhiming to Wang Zhifu on this trip, and he also had the idea of ​​using this to foster relationships, so that he could recommend his son to be a teacher in the future.

But who would have thought that Ye Zhiming would lose his arm? Hong Xuan's thoughts would naturally cease, but Chu Sheng's brilliance would come into his eyes.

The more I thought about this idea, the more secure and feasible it became.He also spoke more sincerely, but clasped his fists and said: "Now that I see the head of Chu, I feel that at the age of the head of Chu, he has this kind of martial arts, and he is the head of a school, so he must be a good teacher. Therefore Here, I, Lao Hong, will take care of you, and I only hope that the head of Chu can accept my son as a disciple and include him in the mountain gate, so that he can be taught by the head of Chu."

Chu Sheng turned his eyes sideways, glanced at him, then smiled, and patted his shoulder while nodding.

As a result, Hong Xuan was sure, so he stroked his bald head and smiled cheerfully, waved his hands at Yang Yuanzhi and shouted: "Since that's the case, I won't accept this knife, you can go now."

This appearance, it seems that he is magnanimous, so Yang Yuanzhi suppressed his anger and kept silent.

The few people dispersed quickly, and Yang Yuanzhi wanted to leave here directly at night, he worried that the longer he stayed, the more he would be annoyed by this person.

Before leaving, he looked around, and the moonlight was like a veil, spreading across the wilderness.Although I can see clearly even in the moonlight, but in fact, looking at the distance, it is naturally dark, just like my own future, and I can't see any hope.

It's just that Fang left ten steps away, his figure was about to be hidden in the night, and he heard a voice behind him.

He looked back and saw Chu Sheng coming with a horse, with a generous smile on his face, and said, "Why did Brother Yang leave without saying goodbye?"

Yang Yuanzhi didn't know what to say, and he was taken care of by Chu Sheng all the way.Originally, there was going to be a fight just now, but Chu Sheng persuaded him, presumably to give some advantages, and agreed to Hong Xuan's unknown conditions, otherwise how could he suddenly become so talkative.

Thinking about it this way, I really owe a lot to this person in front of me.

Chu Sheng didn't seem to care. He led the horse and saw Yang Yuanzhi's footsteps slowed down. He looked back at him, "Let's go, a man has ups and downs, and life is rough. Don't be discouraged. By the moonlight, I will send you off."

A warm current rose in Yang Yuanzhi's heart, his nasal cavity was sour, and tears fell like rain.The journey was tough, and he was beaten and scolded by others, so the person in front of him regarded himself as a human being.

This kind of friendship is really hard to get rid of, he just thinks that Chu Sheng is a brother who can entrust everything to him.

But he is also a hero after all, weeping in front of his face, showing his weakness, how could he keep his face, so he hastily wiped it off with his hands in the dim moonlight, stepped forward quickly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Just now, I don't know Brother because of me, what happened to Hong Xuan?"

Chu Sheng just waved his hands, but didn't explain, and said indifferently: "Brother Yang doesn't need to worry about some small things."

This matter is indeed a trivial matter, but Chu Sheng just won't say it.In this way, Yang Yuanzhi only thought that he had given up a lot of benefits, and he was even more grateful in his heart.And to put it bluntly, it's just the matter of accepting an apprentice, the latter will only think it's commonplace, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

"Compared to that, I wonder what Brother Yang's plan is?"

Yang Yuanzhi said conveniently: "Just go to Linjiang City, turn the waterway, and go to the capital to try your luck."

Chu Sheng nodded, a little disappointed in his heart, and secretly thought that he still didn't have the ability to make people bow to him as soon as his body shook, or to attract people's hearts like a spring breeze?This journey took a lot of thought, but Yang Yuanzhi still couldn't stop his ambition.

Thinking of this, he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Brother Yang and I hit it off right away, so I have something to say."

"Speaking!"

Chu Sheng then turned his head and patted the dust off his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Brother, I don't know what the future will be like this time, but I hope I still need to remember it all the time. No matter when and where, if something can't be done, I will be there Put wine on the peak to wait for your return!"

"If there are difficulties along the way, you can pass on the words; where righteousness goes, even if you die, you will not regret it."

At the end of the words, Chu Sheng handed over the reins of the horse again, and finally stuffed a bag of silver abruptly.

Yang Yuanzhi was silent for it, all the words turned into a long sigh, then nodded quite heavily, and immediately clasped his fists and said:
"I left this room, and I don't know when I can return it. I still have a brother and a sister at home, so I have to shamelessly ask Brother Chu for this room."

Chu Sheng nodded in response, and the two of them bid farewell.

Yang Yuanzhi rode away, and with the sound of hooves, that figure gradually disappeared into the cool night.On that road to fame and fame, he gradually drifted away until he could no longer see a faint figure.

Chu Sheng withdrew his gaze and returned with the moonlight, but halfway through the walk, he saw a dark place on one side, and there was a person standing there.

The figure is exquisite and small, with a black silk shawl, the moonlight falls like water, and from the eyes of the stars, the whole person seems to be integrated with the moonlight.

Just getting closer, you can see that there is sorrow hidden in those bright eyes, and the bright eyebrows are also slightly frowned.

Chu Sheng also frowned, looked around without a trace, then took a step forward and said in a low voice: "You've got it, why don't you leave quickly, what are you doing here!?"

In this way, she also saw the strong woman standing behind her, also frowning, with a very serious expression.

Taking a deep breath, a bad thought arose in Chu Sheng's mind, so he said in a serious tone: "Is something wrong?"

He Qingzhu's eyes had been falling on Chu Sheng's face. After a moment, he seemed to have just reacted, and said with some bitterness: "This big problem may even be a situation."

"Or...just a cover-up."

After a moment of silence, Chu Sheng said with difficulty: "How do I start this?"

Eyelids trembled, He Qingzhu shook his head and said: "You will know when you come with me."

The three of them walked in a hurry, their figures shuttled back and forth, and they arrived at his hiding place very quickly, but it was a remote area. Although the distance was not far, if there were no someone to guide the way, it would be difficult to find it in this dark night.

Three or two torches in the dark night, like will-o'-the-wisps, Chu Sheng arrived with He Qingzhu, and saw several familiar faces with the light of the torches.

They are all the so-called "people" and "traders" along the way.

It's just that everyone is gathered together at this moment, it seems a bit silent, and the familiar escort carts are in the center. At this moment, each of them is pried open, the seal is torn, and the box is opened to reveal the contents inside.

It was supposed to be an ingot of shining silver, but at this moment in front of everyone, it was just full of gravel and rubble lying quietly in the box.

Everyone looked cold, silent, and the atmosphere almost froze.

The night in early spring was extremely cool, and the forest wind was whistling.
