Chapter 20 The hero spares his life

When Wu Chong and Hua Yaoyao entered the city with the caravan, they said goodbye to Xu Fei and the caravan. The caravans were quite large, with more than a dozen carriages, and the carriages were filled with goods, so they could not hide people. Those who were interested could notice Hua Yaoyao, the little girl in the convoy at a glance.

Therefore, after Wu Chong entered the city with the help of them, he said goodbye and left, and then asked someone to ask the direction of the pawn shop. He wanted to use the night pearl as a way.

Originally, the pawnshop owner wanted to cheat Wu Chong, but after all, he looked young and was still carrying a little girl. But when Wu Chong was so angry that he drew his sword and split a stepping stone in the store, the pawnshop owner wiped his sweat and respectfully returned to the night pearl.

He said that he did not have the financial resources to accept this property and asked Wu Chong to find another place.

Wu Chongze said: "I will just pawn this item here and will come back to redeem it in the future. I am not asking you to buy it, what are you afraid of?"

The slightly fat boss wiped his sweat, "I am afraid that the thief will be thinking about it!"

"Don't show it out, who cares about that thing?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I wonder how much silver you want to be?" Seeing Wu Chong's face turned coldly, the pawnshop owner had to change his words.

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Young man, please spare me! This is just a small business."

"That five thousand taels!"

"One thousand taels, I can only take out so much. Moreover, I can only keep the young hero for five years. If the young hero does not return in five years, this thing will belong to me." The pawnshop owner gritted his teeth, "Others, I will give them at most three years."

Wu Chong didn't say much about this. On the one hand, he didn't know how much the Night Pearl could be worth in this world. On the other hand, people would definitely make money when doing business. If they didn't have this redemption period, no matter how much property they had, they wouldn't be able to continue to operate.

"Okay, you can make a name for it!"

Wu Chong nodded and did not bargain anymore. Time was tight and he could not waste it.

One thousand taels of silver, seven pieces of one hundred taels, five pieces of fifty taels, and the remaining fifty taels were directly replaced with broken silver.

When the money was received, Wu Chong said, "I'll remind you again. My father-in-law, don't show off, otherwise it will cause disaster. Don't blame me for not reminding me."

The boss nodded while wiping his sweat.

After getting the money, Wu Chong said again: "Brother-in-law, do you have a horse at home! I heard the neighing sound of horses in the backyard just now, how many silver taels per piece?"

The boss shook his head and said, "That's what I used to pull a cart, so I won't sell it! Here is a horse stroll along the street and you can take a look!"

"Fifty taels!"

“I really don’t sell it…”

"eighty!"

The boss glanced at Wu Chong and said, "One hundred taels!"

"Okay! Take the horse out!"

In this way, Wu Chong spent another hundred taels, then led his horse, bought some dry food and clothing on the street, pots, fire sticks and other items, and then left the city.

When entering the city, some soldiers checked each other, but when leaving the city, it was not that troublesome.

When we left, it was already setting sun and crows were surrounding the trees.

On the horse's back, Hua Yaoyao said, "Junior brother..."

"Call me brother! You forgot again."

"Brother, why don't we rest in the city? Although this city is not big, as long as we hide in the people's homes, the other party will definitely not be able to find us immediately!"

Wu Chong shook his head and carefully stepped on the horse. Although he had never ridden a horse, he was taken by Luo Xiaoyi that day and was watched in the passenger seat. Although he dared not gallop like Luo Xiaoyi, it should be fine to walk slowly, after all, he was a gentle old horse.

He gently knocked off the horse's belly with his heel and signaled the horse to speed up. Then Wu Chong said, "I don't know if those people have chased this small town. If they chased this, they will definitely find out that we have appeared in this city and the caravan is too conspicuous. Once we are in the city, even if those people can't find us for a moment, they can still guard outside the city gate. At that time, it will be even more trouble for us to leave this place."

"What if they find out that we have left this city?"

"That's why we have to leave overnight! I hope we won't be so lucky!"

While they were chatting and leaving under the moonlight, the men in black asked about the whereabouts of Wu Chong and Hua Yaoyao in the city. They walked around the small town several times until night fell, but they could not find any useful information.

Seeing this, the thief said, "It is not a solution to continue looking for this. We divide it into two groups and go to guard the two gates. The two little guys have been hungry for a day. At this time, they must have found a way to get food in the city. They shouldn't have left..."

They were going to wait for Wu Chong to come to the door.

"But what if they've left?"

“…”

After a while, the thief led the leader said, "It is indeed not impossible. In this way, let's separate two people and chase them along the official roads in the direction of the two city gates to see the situation."

The small town is not big, only two gates.

Then, the two thieves who were named cursed in their hearts, and the others could eat and drink here, but they had to chase the enemy overnight.

Damn, you are smart!

The thief who had different opinions glared at the sight of the two of them, glared back without any concession, and thought of fighting if he was dissatisfied.

More than half an hour later, Wu Chong and Hua Yaoyao, who were rushing to the night, both heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, which was extremely obvious in the quiet night.

The two of them felt a trembling heart. Wu Chong quickly turned over and got off the horse, leading the horse to the forest on the side of the road to hide it. He was carrying a sword and lying in the grass on the side of the road to check the situation.

If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind trying to lose internal interest and kill the pursuers. If the person who came was really a pursuers.

However, the horse galloped very quickly and did not give Wu Chong any chance.

When the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, Wu Chong returned to Hua Yaoyao's side. When Hua Yaoyao saw Wu Chong coming back, she asked in a low voice, "Junior brother, are they those thieves?"

"Brother, you should gradually get used to this title now, don't show your legs." After pausing, he said again: "It looks a bit like wearing black clothes in the dark night. If the other party's horse was not white, it would be impossible to see clearly. Fortunately, our horse was black, and fortunately we just walked slowly, otherwise the other party would definitely hear the sound of our horse hooves."

When Hua Yaoyao heard this, she said, "If it were really that group of thieves, it is very likely that the other party would turn around. We might as well wait here."

When Wu Chong heard Hua Yaoyao say this, he looked at her with some surprise, and felt that Hua Yaoyao's IQ was far beyond the same as his peers.

If it weren't for the fact that Teacher Ke had said that almost all the people who came to the dream world were ordinary people, Wu Chong would have doubted whether the other party was a dreamer.

Although Hua Yaoyao is still young, she is also a warrior and has begun to build veins and open the orifices. Although there are not many acupoints, she is also a warrior.

"Yu'er is so smart!"

Wu Chong reached out and touched her little head.

The two of them were waiting silently in the woods beside the official road, waiting, Hua Yaoyao couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, what if that person wasn't those thieves?"

“…”

You said it!

However, at this moment, a sound came straight with a sword light, "It turns out that you are hiding here, but it's easy to find someone! I said that the sound of horse hooves I vaguely heard before was an illusion!" There was a hint of cat and mouse joking in the voice.

It's so slap! This guy actually killed him and shot him back.

Wu Chong cursed inwardly, instinctively pushed Hua Yaoyao to the side, and at the same time, he rolled to the side with this reaction force, shouting: "Good man, please spare my life! I'll give you all the silver!"

Chih...

The sword light slashed the place they were staying before, and cut out a gully several meters long.
