You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 270 Ask Kyoto

Normally, Zhao Youxian would not be so reckless.

There are only two types of people who dare to come to the door, a fool or an expert. The one who can kick the door open is obviously more likely to be an expert than a fool.

But he was in a bad mood today, so no matter whether the opponent was capable or not, he still planned to fight first!
But he never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a big beak hit him in the face.

The strength is incredible!

He was slapped and flew away, his teeth, blood and his deformed old face flying in the air. After a long time, he finally fell to the ground with a bang.

As for the pen he had just picked up, it fell to the ground, making a crackling sound.

After struggling for several times on the ground before getting up, Zhao Youxian subconsciously reached out and touched his face.

At this moment, he could hardly control his movements and just sat sideways, looking like a bullied young wife.

The group of servants who had just been serving Zhao Youxian also had dazed expressions, looking at Zhao Youxian who was sitting sideways on the ground in a daze.

This great master of my own family,

He was knocked down by just one slap?
I don't know who shouted, but it finally woke the others up as if from a dream, and they ran away in all directions in fear.

After the slap, the anger in Zhao Youxian's eyes disappeared completely, and became much clearer.

The other party's skills are obviously far superior to mine!

Is this really someone who came prepared to kick the door?

He subconsciously looked at the two paper figures he had thrown out, and found that the two paper figures had turned into two small pieces of paper after being slapped by him.

The virgin blood and energy that he had worked so hard to gather on the paper man disappeared completely, not a trace left.

Tension and embarrassment filled Zhao Youxian's heart.

He had just finished shouting when someone slapped him to the ground. Not only did his face feel burning with pain, but his heart felt the same way.

He was also a person who feared death. In his eyes, his own life was even more important than that of his entire family. After discovering that the other party could kill him easily, Zhao Youxian trembled constantly.

Why was I so impulsive just now?

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.

Zhao Youxian quickly forced himself to calm down.

still have a chance!

There are many of Shou Wang's spies in this town. It is one of Shou Wang's most valued territories. I am more or less a retainer of Shou Wang. If I really encounter trouble, Shou Wang will definitely help.

Otherwise, if someone hit Prince Shou in the face and he didn't react, wouldn't that be considered a slap in the face?
As long as he delays for a while, King Shou's soldiers will naturally come to check it out.

Then we can deal with this Taoist!

No matter how good they are at fighting, they can never defeat Prince Shou’s army!
Zhao Youxian swallowed his saliva and felt much more at ease, but he was afraid that this Taoist would suddenly explode and kill people.

"Don't be so nervous." Zuo Chen was in a hurry to find Prince Shou, so he didn't give Zhao Youxian time to continue whining and knocked him down with a slap. Now he slowly approached Zhao Youxian and said with a smile:

"I have something to ask you, just answer honestly."

"I spoke too loudly just now and offended you. Now that you ask, I will definitely tell you everything!" Zhao Youxian was delighted and responded repeatedly.

If the Taoist doesn't kill him, he can delay time!

"Okay then." Zuo Chen said, "I saw your paper figurines when I was at Baishou Lake in Qingzhou a year ago. Were you nearby at that time?"

Zhao Youxian recalled for a moment, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he shook his head:

"No, that was my grandson. Lord Shou sent us there, saying that he wanted to capture the river god in Baishou Lake and use him. When we were doing this, the river god had disappeared."

Zuo Chen thought about the fish soup that Caiyi drank, nodded, and asked again:
"Where did you learn to make paper figures?"

"You want to learn this?" Zhao Youxian was shocked.

This is the precious skill that his family relies on for survival. If it is given away, his family foundation will definitely suffer a severe blow.

Zuo Chen laughed and scolded:

"Why would I need your inferior skills? They are too weak. And full of harmful evil spirits. Disgusting. I just want to know where you got them from."

Being pointed at and criticized for his family's martial arts skills, Zhao Youxian looked a little unhappy, and could only force a smile and said:
"What you are teaching me is that this method is not worthy of being used on the stage. I will make you laugh."

He glanced at the street outside again and saw that several of his servants who were more discerning had already run out. He thought that they must be going to ask for help.

Then he cleared his throat and said:

"I spent a lot of effort to obtain this skill from a nobleman in Kyoto."

"Do you know his name?"

"How can I find out the whereabouts of that nobleman?" Zhao Youxian shook his head. "The nobleman likes to sit in a big sedan chair, carried by four paper figures. He is a person of great status and position in the capital. It is impossible for a small person like me to know who he is.

"I later felt that this way of travelling was very majestic and could enhance my status, so I learned this method and asked paper figures to carry my sedan chair."

"I see."

Zuo Chen nodded.

At the moment, it sounds like he is a big shot who is particular about what he says and does. Plus, the way he travels, he must be a high-ranking official in Kyoto. "You don't know anything else?"

"do not know anything……"

Zhao Youxian was not lying. The other party's status was too high. He could not get any information at all just by relying on his own words.

"Okay." Zuo Chen could tell that the other party was not lying, so he nodded and said, "Take out the Broken Four Seasons."

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll find the sword technique for you."

After saying that, Zhao Youxian waved behind him, and immediately a servant came over and came to Zhao Youxian's side happily.

Zhao Youxian whispered a few words to the servant, who immediately nodded and ran towards the backyard.

Only Zhao Youxian was left looking at Zuo Chen with an awkward smile.

Zuo Chen was not in a hurry. He sat directly on the donkey cart, crossed his legs and teased the baby with his fingers.

Zhao Youxian didn't dare to leave Zuo Chen's sight, so he could only hide aside and look towards the door with expectant eyes.

Prince Shou’s troops should be arriving soon.

……

Prince Shou was lying on a soft couch, with two beauties with light makeup lying beside him. They were both wearing thin gauze, which could not hide their delicate bodies. They clung to Prince Shou like boneless snakes, their hands wandering on his skin.

Although the makeup was light, there was only a little red in the middle of the lips, which looked like two cherries.

It was the beginning of spring and the weather was still a little cold. There was a stove burning in the room. As if to relieve his boredom, Prince Shou broke the wooden stick in his hand in two halves and threw them into the stove one by one, watching them burn in the flames.

It turned black, turned into charcoal, and half collapsed in the middle of the crackling sound.

There is a unique kind of fun.

He seemed to have no interest in the two beauties beside him. Holding them in his arms was more like holding two soft pillows, leaning his body on them to soothe himself.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Prince Shou said lazily:

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, and a civil servant walked in. He didn't pay any attention to the two beauties beside Prince Shou. He seemed to be familiar with the other party's situation and bowed directly to them:

"Lord Shou Wang, Hou Zheng has already sent back the message incense."

"What did they say? What did they find?"

"They said... there is a Taoist priest who looks like a god in the Gray Mountain. His Taoist magic has covered the entire Gray Mountain, and no one can enter the Gray Mountain."

"What?" Shou Wang frowned, "Is he really a Taoist priest?"

"Yes." The civil official said, "From what the Hou Zhengs said, the Taoist priest is quite powerful. I'm afraid he is more than just innate, and he may even have the power of a land immortal."

"Can a land immortal surround the entire Gray Mountain?" Shou Wang cursed, "Which land immortal has this ability? To seal off the entire Gray Mountain?"

The civil officials dared not speak.

Prince Shou's mood suddenly became much more depressed. He let out a long breath, pushed the two beauties beside him to one side, let the two girls stack together, and then stood up.

"Taoist...Taoist, Taoist from Gray Mountain?"

Prince Shou thought about it carefully for a while and felt as if he had heard of this person before.

He searched his memories carefully for a long time, but couldn't remember anything at all.

While recalling this, he suddenly saw another warrior running towards the door and bowing directly in the direction of the Shou King:
"Lord Shou Wang, is there anyone causing trouble in the town?"

"Why are there so many things going on these past two days?" Prince Shou was upset, his scalp throbbing. "Who dares to cause trouble?"

"He was a Taoist priest. It was said that he wanted to seek justice for the Jijian Villa on the nearby mountain, so he smashed the gate of the new Zhao family."

"Taoist priest?!"

Why is he another Taoist priest?
Prince Shou looked at the civil officials, then at the military generals:

"You two Taoist priests...are you talking about the same Taoist priest?"

The general looked at Prince Shou with a bewildered look on his face.

"Forget it," Prince Shou waved his hand, then pointed at the general and said, "Go and fetch that Taoist priest. I will personally ask him what his plan is."

Two more words of advice:
"When you invite someone, you must be polite. This Taoist priest is probably quite good."

"Sir, that Taoist priest did smash our guest's house after all..."

The general wanted to say something, but was glared at by Prince Shou:
"The Zhao family is just an opportunist who came to the family. They always say outside that they know people in Kyoto. It's obvious that they are begging for some fur from others. If they are beaten, they will be beaten! Why do you care about them so much?"

The general nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.

Seeing the general's back, Prince Shou slowly frowned.

I always have a bad feeling in my heart...

Is it an illusion?
