Chapter 23 Xianfan Contract
After one stick of incense, a team of cavalry soldiers walked slowly towards the gate of Xinghuo Town. The team of soldiers was neatly arranged and motivated, with red feathers standing on their helmets.
At the forefront of this team of cavalry soldiers, there were two tall war horses, one black and one brown. The people above were the man with golden armor and Du Fan. Han Xuan'er was riding with the man with golden armor. At this time, her whole body was shrunk in the arms of the man with golden armor, and her little head was exposed to look at Du Fan.
"It turns out that it is Brother Du, Guo Xiong, the general of the Huoyu Kingdom. He offended him so much just now. Please don't take it seriously. Guo will hold a banquet and drink to apologize later!" Guo Xiong held the reins in one hand, protected Han Xuan'er with the other hand, and smiled at him.
"General Guo doesn't have to do this. I have never suffered any losses. I'm just asking General to send me a ride." Du Fan waved his hand, not caring about it. Along the way, Du Fan had already informed the other party of the series of events before and after the princess. Of course, he had omitted the relationship between Chu Liantian and Wanyan Taotie.
"What's the matter with my little brother? You can save the little princess and have you taken good care of it for many days. I, Huoyu Country, owe you a favor. Not to mention such a small matter that is not worth mentioning, you will know after entering the city that there is still a big gift waiting for you, haha..." Guo Xiong's words were generous, his words were sincere, and he laughed heartily.
"Oh? The general made me look forward to it." Du Fan's eyes looked curious, but he had no intention of refusing.
Half an hour later, General Guo and Du Fan walked under the gate of Xinghuo Town. The officers and soldiers guarding the city knelt down and bowed down, saluting the little princess and General Guo.
After a while, Du Fan and others walked through the gate of Xinghuo Town and rode their horses in the broad and bustling main road. There were all kinds of shops and bustling crowds on both sides. Du Fan was a little surprised. The town was too prosperous, and it was not much inferior to Licheng, the second largest city in Tianxiang Country. He had a comparison of the national strength of the two countries.
When people saw General Guo, they all looked respectful and saluted one after another. Du Fan could feel strong admiration and gratitude from their eyes.
General Guo showed gentleness to the people who were looking at him, and he gave him a favor one by one, without any airs of a high-ranking official. You should know that the title of general is the first among the generals in a country. He is in charge of the three armies and has an extremely prominent status. He is such a big man who can approach humble people. Even Du Fan around him admires him.
"Fortunately, General Guo guarded the border and resisted foreign enemies for our country, so that we can live a good life of peace and prosperity."
"Yes, General Guo is a god-like military force, and he is able to plan and win a thousand miles away, making the traitor army scared when it comes to the news. It really shocks our country's power!"
"I also heard that General Guo was brave and invincible during the battle, leading by example, and after the battle, he kept himself clean and set an example, and ate and lived with the soldiers. He was loved by the officers and soldiers in the army."
"It is a great blessing for the country and a blessing for the people to have General Guo in Huoyu Country!"
The voices of conversation between ordinary people kept coming to Du Fan's team of people, making the knights following General Guo stand tall and excited, as if it was extremely proud to follow the general.
General Guo himself smiled calmly and had no slight complacency.
Du Fan admired him even more.
When everyone was walking to a downtown square, they saw a royal list posted in the center of the square. The crowds around them were all looking at it. Some were whispering and some were loudly making the place look a little confused.
"What, our little princess is missing and is suspected to be hijacked. Who has such courage?"
"It must be done by the traitors in the country. They were afraid of General Guo and did not dare to fight head-on, so they made such despicable methods. It was really despicable!"
"The emperor's list states that if anyone can provide clues, he will be given a heavy reward, and the one who contributes the most will be awarded the title; if the little princess can be saved, he will be given a national treasure, and a contract of immortals and mortals!"
"Everyone in the country knows that the little princess was the emperor's favorite daughter back then. The emperor was wise and valued General Guo, Lord Lin and other capable ministers, so that the country's entire country will be prosperous and peaceful. Even if there is no bonus, we should share the worries of the country!"
"I'm right! But what is this contract of Immortal Mortal? Why have I never heard of it?"
"You don't know the contract of Immortals! That was more than ten years ago, the royal spies found a rare flower for the Kongsangmen, the first immortal sect in the Huoyu Kingdom. An elder of the Kongsangmen was very happy and gave the royal family a volume of the Immortals contract. With this volume, one person can become a disciple. Of course, this person has the minimum standard and must meet the basic qualifications for cultivation."
"Kongsangmen? Are you sure it is Kongsangmen? That is the Immortal Sect!"
"It's not just the Immortal Sect. There are four Immortal Sects in my Huoyu Kingdom, namely Jiuhua Sect, Huaishan Sect, Tianshui Sect and Kongsang Sect. You don't have four names that are different now. The first three are sects and Kongsang Sect. Let me tell you that in the cultivation world, the sect only belongs to small immortal sects, and the sect is considered medium immortal sects. Going up is the rumored sect. Among the dozens of countries around my Huoyu Kingdom, there are no sects, only two sects. Therefore, Kongsang Sect is also an extremely high-end existence in the Immortal Sect in the Cultivation World."
"How come you know so much, and you don't know whether it's true or not."
"What are you doing? I'm not afraid to tell you that my relative's cousin is working as a sergeant in the Konsangmen. He told me!"
"What? Working in the Kongsangmen!"
This person immediately ushered in the envious gaze of the people around him.
Du Fan could not hear all the chaotic voices of conversation among the crowd, but he also understood a little bit and knew that the imperial list was a reward for finding a princess, and the great gift that General Guo mentioned should be the contract of immortals mentioned in the list.
"Brother Du first settled in the temporary mansion of Xinghuo Town, and then talk about other things?" Guo Xiong smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry General Guo!"
After a cup of tea, Du Fan sat on a living room seat and chatted casually with Guo Xiong. The little princess Han Xuan'er was not here. The decoration of this living room was quite ordinary, but it was clean and tidy, with a simple feeling.
"Report!" a guard shouted.
"Come in!" Guo Xiong, who was sitting in the living room, gave an order.
"General, the contract of immortals is brought!" The guard looked respectful, holding the disc in his hand. There was a roll of golden silk thing on it. At this time, it was rolled up and it was impossible to see its appearance clearly, but from the vague light on the surface, it was known that it was not an ordinary person.
Guo Xiong gave a brief gesture, and the guard handed the disc to Du Fan.
Du Fan hesitated for a moment and reached out to bring the golden silk roll on it into his hand. This thing was silky and soft.
After the guard bowed and retreated, Du Fan glanced at Guo Xiong and slowly opened the contract of the Immortal Fan.
Halfway through, a soft light suddenly radiated. Du Fan subconsciously narrowed his eyes. After he opened it, two palm-sized mulberry leaves were printed on the contract. The mulberry leaves seemed to protrude, with a strong three-dimensional sense, lifelike, like a real thing. On the two mulberry leaves, there were two golden immortals and mortals engraved with golden light, just like something from a fairy family.
Du Fan's breathing became slow at first, then he was a little cramped. After his face changed and then rolled it up again.
"General Guo, when I saved the princess, I did not take over the imperial list. Besides, this thing is too heavy. Please take it back. I have something else to worry about the general. If possible, I will be grateful."
"What's this mean by Brother Du? I just admire you very much. I didn't expect you to be a mum-in-law and mother! When you saved the princess, you didn't know about the imperial list, which made this move even more valuable. If you don't accept this thing, after the news came out, you will cause me to be injustice in the Huoyu Kingdom royal family?" Guo Xiong had a little angry look on his face, which was not like a fake.
"Since General Guo said this, I will no longer be artificial. Thank you!" Du Fan smiled bitterly and had to accept it. Moreover, in his heart, he was also very moved.
"That's right! The emperor offered this item as a reward, and he also had the intention to attract the casual cultivators of the Huoyu Kingdom to take action. However, he did not expect that it was obtained by the little brother Du. Don't worry, if you don't need this item yourself, I, Huoyu Kingdom, can hold a special auction for you to the children of the cultivation family or the casual cultivators. I believe they should be very interested. All the items you get belong to. What do you think?" Seeing Du Fan accepting it, Guo Xiong smiled and said again.
"Cough... I'm not sure about it. I'm not talented and have spiritual roots. I'm still very interested in this thing. I'm sorry General Guo thought about it." Du Fan coughed lightly and said something surprised Guo Xiong.
"What? Brother Du has spiritual roots. Wouldn't he be a cultivator? But... I'm frank, I have been in contact with cultivators and have not observed that there is that special aura on you." Guo Xiong's eyes suddenly opened wide, his heart was shocked, and at the same time he had some questions.
"It was only by chance that I learned that I had spiritual roots not long ago, but I never had the opportunity to practice." Du Fan explained.
"If this is the case, then this fairy contract is more suitable for Brother Du. If the Fire Yu Kingdom is in danger in the future, I hope Brother Du can take action." Guo Xiong's eyes lit up, his expression turned straight, and he clasped his fists and spoke.
"I dare not, I dare not." Du Fan smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly.
"By the way, Brother Du just said that there are other things that need help, no need to worry. Now you might as well say the previous one." Guo Xiong suddenly remembered something and spoke to him.
"Okay, this is the thing. I made an appointment with two friends to meet in Xinghuo Town. I originally thought Xinghuo Town was not big, so I would find them by asking for the two inns, but I never expected Xinghuo Town to be so huge and prosperous, which surprised me a little. At the same time, it might not be easy to find them. I wonder if the general can handle this matter easily?" Du Fan said it briefly and asked carefully.
