Martial Arts: I just want to lie flat, I make all bad friends

Chapter 437 I remember your name seems to be Murong Fu

The Kingdom of Kucha.

The scorching sun is high in the sky and the desert is endless.

The harsh environment makes people who come here feel depressed.

In the vast sandstorm, two figures were walking slowly. If someone approached them, they would feel a refreshing coolness that was enough to dispel all the heat.

"You are so shameless."

Hua Wuque was still following behind Bai Xiuzhu and talking.

Even though Bai Xiuzhu in front of him ignored him at all, his cursing, or rather his complaints, have never stopped over the past few days.

"Okay, it's been so many days, I'm tired of hearing you even though you didn't say you were tired."

Bai Xiuzhu looked at Hua Wuque helplessly.

This aloof heir of Yihua Palace has almost become a parrot recently.

Every day people either say that he doesn't keep his word or that he is thicker-skinned than a city wall.

Just a few sentences over and over again made Bai Xiuzhu feel like his ears were getting calluses.

But he couldn't break Bai Xiuzhu's defense at all. Sometimes, he would accidentally break his own defense while scolding her, which really made people worry about his mental state.

"You are a Grandmaster after all, how could you do such a thing?!"

Hua Wuque cursed at Bai Xiuzhu again.

Bai Xiuzhu shrugged: "You keep saying that I am shameless and untrustworthy, but I haven't violated the agreement at all. What I have always said is that I will not take the initiative to contact your two masters."

Hua Wuque's eyes bulged, and his handsome sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were almost bulging into dead fish eyes.

"Why are you so shameless?!"

Then he stopped and muttered something like "picking on words" and "can't afford to lose" which Bai Xiuzhu couldn't understand at all.

The air in the desert seemed to be a little more cheerful.

"It's only ten miles to the next inn. If you haven't said enough, just keep talking here."

Bai Xiuzhu put down his words and walked forward.

As he gradually moved forward, the coolness that originally enveloped Hua Wuque slowly dissipated.

The scorching heat of the desert completely enveloped Hua Wuque for a moment.

Even though he is a master, the total amount of his internal energy is limited.

Naturally, he was reluctant to use his precious internal energy to fight the heat, and he had been relying on Bai Xiuzhu's "central air conditioning" all the way. Now that he was at a distance from Bai Xiuzhu, he could also feel the high temperature in the desert.

Hua Wuque took off the water bag on his waist. The scolding and the sudden high temperature made him feel a little dry in the mouth for a while.

He put the water bag to his mouth, but found that he had already drunk all the water in it halfway along the way.

After all, he and Bai Xiuzhu had walked nearly three hundred miles of sandy road since they left the last inn.

He basically never stopped scolding Bai Xiuzhu along the way.

Looking at the figure that was about to disappear in the wind and sand, Hua Wuque reluctantly took a step forward and chased after him.

"Wait for me!"

Hua Wuque took a step forward and chased after him.

"Is it true that what you said about the next inn is ten miles away?"

Bai Xiuzhu glanced at Hua Wuque and took out a map from his arms.

This was a "friendly gift" from a group of traveling merchants they met after entering Kucha.

Bai Xiuzhu originally planned to use silver notes to exchange supplies with the other party.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's silver notes can still be traded in Qiuci.

But it's a pity.

Perhaps it was because the people of Qiuci were rather tough, that group of merchants had no intention of doing business with Bai Xiuzhu. Instead, they called their guards to get more silver bills from Bai Xiuzhu.

Bai Xiuzhu had no choice but to accept the other party's "good intentions".

I accepted the map and water bag they gave me as a friendly gift.

If Bai Xiuzhu had not felt that the camel was not as fast as he was, he would probably have accepted the camel "gifted" by the other party.
As for the words from the guards, "King Jamukha will not let you go."

Bai Xiuzhu just ignored it.

Opening the map in his hand, Bai Xiuzhu identified the direction, nodded and said.

"According to the map, it should be no more than ten miles away."

Hua Wuque looked at Bai Xiuzhu with suspicion.

Seeing this, Bai Xiuzhu could only shake his head and point forward.

"If I'm not the only one in your eyes, you should be able to see it, right?"

Hua Wuque looked in the direction of Bai Xiuzhu's finger, and found that in the wind and sand, the outline of an inn was vaguely visible.

"Boss, bring me all the good wine and food you have here!"

Hua Wuque walked into the inn without any politeness, and opened his mouth with a domineering attitude as if to ask for "the next serving" of the menu.

Anyway, Bai Xiuzhu spent the money, so he didn't feel bad about it.

If this could make Bai Xiuzhu feel distressed, Hua Wuque would feel better.

Some childish behavior towards Hua Wuque.

Bai Xiuzhu shook his head helplessly.

If Hua Wu Que hopes to make Bai Xiu Zhu feel distressed by eating, then he will probably have to eat for ten lifetimes before he has a chance.
The waiter in the inn gave Bai Xiuzhu a questioning look.

This is different from before Bai Xiuzhu traveled through time, when the most he received were complaints from people.

In this day and age, the service industry is basically a completely high-risk occupation.

After all, most martial artists don't have a very good tolerance level. If they do something slightly wrong and cause dissatisfaction to the other party, a few slaps in the face would be the lightest punishment, but they could even lose their life.

Therefore, they have mastered the skill of observing people's words and expressions at the highest level.

Although Hua Wuque's appearance was more outstanding than Bai Xiuzhu, the waiter still recognized it at a glance.

The real leader among the two is this "unattractive" young man.

of course.

The so-called ugly appearance is only compared with Hua Wuque.

Compared with the other guys in the inn who all have beards, it is not an exaggeration to say that Bai Xiuzhu is more handsome than Pan An.

Bai Xiuzhu nodded slightly at the waiter.

"Do as he says."

When it comes to money, sometimes you really don't feel bad about spending it.

The waiter then smiled and nodded and went to do it: "Okay!"

His years of work experience told him that wealthy young men like Bai Xiuzhu and Hua Wuque would generally not lack for his benefits.

This is true.

When the waiter had set the table in front of Bai Xiuzhu and Hua Wuque to the point where it was almost full.

Bai Xiuzhu directly threw out a heavy silver ingot.

"keep the change."

There was basically no need for him to carry those loose coins with him.

"Thank you, sir! I wish you great wealth and good fortune in martial arts!"

The waiter was grinning from ear to ear and kept uttering words of congratulations, which made Hua Wuque frown slightly.

He just felt that the other person's talent was enviable.

If only he had this mouth.

I guess Bai Xiuzhu wouldn't complain that he was "tired of listening".
What Hua Wuque didn't notice was that the silver ingots that Bai Xiuzhu generously gave away attracted almost everyone's attention.

Some people silently put on their own hats to protect themselves from the wind and sand, some people quietly put on their untied cloaks, and some people's hands had already touched the machetes at their waists.

Although the actions of these people are different.

But their eyes were focused on Bai Xiuzhu and the other person in tacit understanding.

Stand up and gather around.

The travelers in the desert all came to Bai Xiuzhu and his companions without any prior arrangement.

"Chengger, this is ours."

"Bah! I won't let you get these fat sheep!" "Zhang Mazi, I owe you a favor this time. Give them to me."

"half each!"

"make a deal!"

Dense whispers began to sound at some point.

The reason why these people have not taken action yet is simply because they are afraid of others.

As for Bai Xiuzhu and the other person?
They no longer take it seriously.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The crisp knock on the table brought the surrounding "conspiracy" to an abrupt end.

"Would you like a drink?"

Bai Xiuzhu's words with a smile made everyone laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha! This silly boy still hasn't figured out what's going on?"

"I am dying of laughter! Looks like I can make a lot of money today."

Bai Xiuzhu shook his head slightly when he heard the laughter.

The people who surrounded him and Hua Wuque suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

how
A bit cold?
Some people unconsciously looked outside the inn.

The sun in the desert is still as scorching as ever, but the temperature seems to have dropped a lot.

"That is."

Some of the more careful people suddenly opened their eyes wide in horror and looked at the jar of wine on the table.

I saw that fine ice chips had appeared around the wine jar at some point, and at the seal of the jar, there were ice spikes standing upright!

Bai Xiuzhu gently tapped the seal of the wine jar, opened it, and repeated his previous words.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Whoosh!"

A group of people rushed out of the inn.

No one dared to answer Bai Xiuzhu's words, and no one even had the courage to look at him again.

After all, in this hot desert, Bai Xiuzhu, who can use his internal force to create ice, is very different from ordinary people like them who cannot even use their internal force to drive away the heat.

Bai Xiuzhu looked at the group of people running away and shook his head slightly.

The public security in a desert like Kucha is indeed fundamentally different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

In the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Even if his generosity just now made people pay attention to him, those risk-taking guys would only dare to follow him and attack him secretly.

Without the strength of a master, almost no one would dare to rob so blatantly in public.

"Not killing them?"

Hua Wuque glanced at Bai Xiuzhu and asked softly.

"What's the point of killing them? Didn't you realize that everyone in the inn wants to attack us? This shows that this kind of thing is just a common phenomenon here. Killing them won't solve the problem."

Bai Xiuzhu explained to Hua Wuque.

"Guest officer."

The waiter suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.

"This plate of braised beef seems to be a little bit bad, I'll change it for you."

He slowly took a plate of braised beef from the table and ran to the kitchen as if escaping.

How could Bai Xiuzhu not know that the plate of beef must have been tampered with?

He shook his head again.

Even the store owners do this.

It can be seen that the public security in the entire Qiuci is in chaos.

Killing someone or some people will not change anything.

Hua Wu Que also understood this fact: "It seems that the people here are not good people. What are you doing here?"

Bai Xiuzhu did not answer his question and silently dealt with the food on the table.

Hua Wuque curled his lips when he saw this.

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

Immediately he started eating.

"what!"

"what!"

Just now.

Suddenly, screams were heard outside the inn.

Hua Wu Que was stunned: "Are they the ones who just escaped? They..."

Before he could finish his words, he discovered that Bai Xiuzhu, who had just been sitting opposite him, had disappeared at some point.

Even though Hua Wuque knew that Bai Xiuzhu was very good at Qinggong, he was still shocked when he saw this scene.

What did he leave?
Then he cursed in his heart.

If this guy really wanted to kill someone, why didn't he do it just now, but had to wait until those people left before killing them?

While Hua Wuque was still cursing Bai Xiuzhu in his heart for his unnecessary actions, the sunlight at the entrance of the inn was suddenly blocked by a shadow.

Three figures slowly walked into the inn.

"Princess, even if those people just now were not kind, you shouldn't just kill them like this, right?"

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked the woman next to him.

The young man in fancy clothes smiled and said, "You are wrong, Prince Consort. They have offended the princess and are guilty of capital crime. You should not have mercy on these people."

"But."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was interrupted by the young man before he could finish his words.

"My dear husband, don't forget what we are here for. Jamukha has many spies in this desert. If one of them discovered us, it won't be long before we are surrounded by his bandits. If this happened because of your pity for them, can you take the responsibility?"

The man was silent.

Just as the young master said, their coming to Kucha was a dangerous thing.

If it is true that his kindness led to the situation described by the young master, then he cannot take responsibility.

The woman called "Princess" walked into the inn without saying a word.

"I didn't expect this inn to be so deserted."

The young man sighed behind him, and then he saw the only guest sitting in the inn.

The flowers are perfect.

When he saw Hua Wuque, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him.

"Mr. Wuque."

Hua Wuque was also stunned when his name was called out.

He frowned and began to think about whether he had seen this young man before.

However, the young master had already introduced Hua Wuque to the two people beside him.

"My Lady, Prince Consort, this is Hua Wuque, a servant of the Yihua Palace of the Ming Dynasty. He is known as 'Mr. Wuque' in the martial arts world. I have met him once before."

Yihua Palace.

Hear these three words.

The two people who were called the prince consort and the princess cast curious glances at Hua Wuque.

The princess seemed to have remembered something.

"Yihua Palace? My subordinates Ah Er and Ah San seemed to have said that the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Yao Yue, went to the Vajra Gate a few days ago and stole their 'Black Jade Ointment'."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at Hua Wuque with a hint of vigilance when he heard this.

The young man didn't expect this to happen, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

At this moment, Hua Wuque seemed to have finally remembered where he had seen that young man.

He pointed at the other person and said, "I remember your name seems to be Murong Fu?"
