Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 414: The Eyesore
A glint flashed across Old Fatty Li's eyes. Shaking his head, he said with a smile, "Sister Tang, I wasn't originally interested in where you went, but my curiosity became upset after hearing this. Alright, I'll take the four bodyguards and enter Shennong Ridge with you, and then we go explore the Ghost King Valley. ”
"It's…"
Tang Xiu was a bit hesitant. Seeing the enthusiasm on Old Fatty Li's face, he forced a wry smile and said, “Alright, come with me if it won't affect your business deal! Anyway, let's take a break after getting to Ziming County. I needed to buy paper and a pen to draw the shape of the herbs I was looking for. ”
"No problem!" The Fat Old Li smirked.
In the front seat, an angry expression flashed across Ji Shiyan's face. Picking up his phone, he dialed his boss' cell number. He then spoke about the situation there and Li Laoshan's decision. The boss was silent for a long time, before urging him to advise him otherwise.
After ending the call, Ji Shiyan then turned her head and said, "Boss Li, Master. Tang, my Boss said that, since Boss Li wants to go to Shennong Ridge, we should go with you to protect your safety. ”
"Tell your boss that I'll be with Tang Xiu, so we don't need protection. "Li Laoshan waved his hand and said.
"Boss Li, please don't make things difficult for us. This is a direct order from my boss. "Ji Shiyan forced a smile.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Laoshan turned to Tang Xiu. This time he wanted to follow Tang Xiu to adventure and explore the ancient forest in the depths of the mountains. On one hand, he wanted to regain his young spirit; while on the other, he also wanted to get along with Tang Xiu and get his help. He felt uncomfortable for him to accept Ji Shiyan's request, as it would require Tang Xiu's approval.
Seeing Li Laoshan's expression, Tang Xiu understood what was on his mind. After being silent for a while, he slowly said, “It's not good for me to refuse if you want to follow us, is it? Anyway, I need to let you know before we enter Shennong Ridge. In the event of an accident and you lose your people, I will not be responsible for it. ”
"I know!" Ji Shiyan replied with a cold expression. His tone was also somewhat stiff and blunt.
"Of course, if your people can help me find that medicinal herb, I will give 10 million yuan as a gift to the person who found it. "Tang Xiu said once more," As for the others, they would also be rewarded 1 million yuan for their work. Of course, I won't give you a dime if we can't find it. ”
Ji Shiyan's eyebrows shot up, as a shocked expression appeared in her eyes. Although she concluded that Tang Xiu had an incredible background, this kind of grand statement was truly shocking.
After all, resulting in a total of 20 million, this made him unable to imagine what kind of precious medicinal herb it was. Thinking that it was worth it for him to promise such handsome rewards.
Ziming County.
It was a very ordinary small town in a mountainous area with a very poor economic rate. Only after more than a decade of developing tourism did this place get better. Although the city was not on par with the county towns in the more developed areas, it was barely able to reach modern development standards.
Ji Shiyan had already made reservations at the best hotels of the district before. Although it was not a 3-star hotel, Tang Xiu was saved from the difficulty of finding a room as he stayed in a double room together with Li Laoshan.
While everyone was eating or resting, Tang Xiu drew the shape of a Demon Restoration Grass. After that, he rested for a few hours. After lunch, he gave everyone a sketch and let them memorize it.
"Brother Tang, are we leaving now?"
When Li Laoshan heard Tang Xiu's suggestion for them to prepare to leave, he was startled and immediately asked.
“Yes, I have to find this medicinal herb as soon as possible. So we should set off now and try to reach the Ghost King Valley before dusk. "Said Tang Xiu.
With a cold gaze, Ji Shiyan looked at Tang Xiu at a glance and lightly said, "Master. Tang, I think you don't know the situation at Shennong Ridge. We probably won't be able to arrive at the Ghost King Valley before nightfall even if we leave early in the morning, let alone now. I may not have been there yet, but I once sent some people to investigate Shennong Ridge and Ghost King Valley. We need to travel tens of kilometers from the county town to the north and climb some hills. After crossing the two great rivers, then we can arrive at the Ghost King Valley. ”
"Well, then let's do the best of our abilities!" Said Tang Xiu.
A few minutes later, the group left the hotel and quickly headed towards Shennong Ridge in six cars. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain surrounding Shennong's back, Ji Shiyan ordered some people to drive away the car, while she led the four bodyguards and followed Tang Xiu and the others up the climb.
At first, everyone was very relaxed, even the four bodyguards led by Ji Shiyan, who was carrying, could still keep up with everyone's speed. However, after crossing the two mountains, they were somewhat breathless and their speed was significantly reduced. Soon after, the four Old Fatty Li bodyguards who took over brought over were finally unable to bear it after walking on another mountain.
"Sister Tang, how about we take a break? We had been walking for four hours, my tights started to shake. "Old Fatty Li's face was full of sweat, as he forced a wry smile and said as he looked at Tang Xiu's face that did not appear red or out of breath.
"Allah . Let's take a half hour break! "Tang Xiu nodded.
What shocked him was that Ji Shiyan was only slightly sweating on her forehead and did not even look tired, whereas Old Fatty Li and the eight bodyguards were sweating a lot and looking tired.
They knew that each of the four large backpacks weighed several tens of kilograms. It is more than 90kg. Tang Xiu's strength and physical qualities amazed everyone.
Nightfall. Everyone stopped on the fifth mountain slope. They found a place with flat terrain, so everyone decided to stay there for camping, preparing to stay overnight.
“You all wait here. I'll get some wild games and we'll have a barbecue party tonight. "Tang Xiu casually said as he looked at the crowd panting on the ground. He then quickly slipped into the nearby forest.
Li Laoshan raised his hand and was about to stop Tang Xiu. However, Tang Xiu's speed was too fast and he couldn't stop her. He saw Tang Xiu's figure disappear into the forest, when an expression of helplessness appeared on his plump face.
"Boss Li, who exactly is he?"
At this moment, Ji Shiyan was full of curiosity towards Tang Xiu. That was because, throughout the journey, their journey was not very smooth. On several occasions, they met some wild animals, and Tang Xiu who had come to the front line to chase them away. He even reached out to some very tired people.
“Dia, ah!” Li Laoshan smirked and said, “He's someone with extraordinary talent. Even I myself cannot fully understand this little brother of mine. Secretary Ji, don't look down on him. I have seen people who look down on him and end up miserable. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Shiyan then said in a low voice, "He is indeed very strong. To think that he could easily cross this mountain easily. . . He should be a martial artist, huh? But, he's too crazy. ”
“Crazy?” Li Laoshan laughed, “Brother Tang is simple and has good character. You think he's crazy because he's so damaging to you. ”
“Yes, she's kind of annoying and exhausting. "Say Ji Shiyan.
"Well, let's forget it. I won't say anything more about him. "Li Laoshan said with a smile," If anything, you'll know what she looks like after you hang out with her. In any case, I should still advise you not to provoke him. Let alone you, even if it was your boss, he would probably suffer a huge loss. ”
"But Boss Li, you haven't answered me yet. What's the background? ”Ji Shiyan quickly asked.
“He has many identities. However, I won't tell you the details. "Li Laoshan said with a smile," In short, just remember my words: don't provoke him. Do not prosecute problems for yourself and the Yellowsteel Group. Or else, I won't work with you anymore if he acts against you. ”
"I understand!"
Ji Shiyan nodded, but the curiosity in her heart towards Tang Xiu's identity grew.
“Alright, let everyone rest after setting up the tent!” Li Laoshan said with a smile, “By the way, tell some people to pick up firewood for a barbecue. ”
A glint of disdain was seen in Ji Shiyan's eyes as she said, "Boss Li, please don't joke with me. He did say he was going to get some wild play or something, but did you take it seriously? This forested mountain is very dark. While it's not as if you can't see anything, wanting to hunt a few games is sort of … "
Before he finished speaking, it was as if an invisible person was holding his neck at the moment, causing him to swallow his words. A bewildered expression appeared on her pretty face as she looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, as she had just walked out of the darkness with something in her hands. Is that thing in his hand .. deer?
"Wow! You are amazing, Brother Tang! It's been a few minutes, yet you really get a. . .good thing! ”Li Laoshan crawled from the ground with shining and praising eyes.
Tang Xiu put the deer on the ground. He then smiled and said, “Luckily I saw this deer. Do any of you know how to bake? ”
Li Laoshan slapped his lips and said with a smile, “I'm not sure about the others, but grilling meat is something that this Fatty Li really likes! That's right, Secretary Ji, your people bought a lot of supplies for living. Did you buy a condiment or something? "
“I saw a list of the items they bought, and I thought they had sauce for grilling meat. "Ji Shiyan nodded and said," Actually, one of my bodyguards comes from a hunting family. ”
"That's cool!"
Li Laoshan exclaimed as he picked up the deer. After that, he walked to the side.
Ji Shiyan turned to Tang Xiu. Even though the night was dark, she could still see Tang Xiu's calm expression, as the distance between the two was relatively close. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Master. Tang, you ... how did you do it? "
“Well, it's very simple, really. "Tang Xiu said lightly," I'm faster and stronger than that. ”
