Chapter 266 Jianghu Journey 1
"What? The nun passed away? How is this possible? She was fine before? It has only been a short time and she..." Zhao Xiaofei really didn't expect that the nun Miejue passed away so recently.
"Master was already in poor health, and she had to participate in the martial arts conference and was assigned the task of helping the court assassinate traitorous officials. Later, the incident with Hong Feiyan happened, which made Master a little exhausted. Master worked hard for the Emei Sect!" Shen Yunying said.
"After the old nun passed away, didn't the court make any statement?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"The court was very active at the beginning, but when they heard that the prince had been defeated, their attitude changed and they didn't care. We are going to ask for an explanation when we go back this time!" Shen Yunying said angrily.
The sisters behind her nodded in agreement. Shen Yunying continued, "The various sects have helped the court eliminate rebel officials, traitors, and even killed quite a few Jianlu officials! It can be said that our martial arts sects have contributed manpower and effort, causing unrest in the rear of the rebel Jianlu. But those officials in the court actually said that this was all the prince's will and that we should go to the prince if we have any problems! Prince? We don't even know where the prince is right now! So this time we must ask the court for an explanation! If the court doesn't give an explanation, I guess the major sects will stop the assassination activities."
Zhao Xiaofei cursed inwardly after hearing this: "They're all just a bunch of people who can only fight among themselves. Don't they know that resisting foreign aggression is the most important thing right now? They're all short-sighted!"
After cursing inwardly, he said, "I do know some people in the court. When I return to Chengdu, I will first pay my respects to my teacher, and then unite with other ministers to ask for a title for him!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei say this, Shen Yunying looked at Zhao Xiaofei carefully again. Zhao Xiaofei looked like a scholar or a juren. Perhaps his family would help us Emei Sect and bring glory to our master and even to the entire Emei Sect.
"Since Master Zhao is willing to help, thank you very much! If the Emei Sect prospers, everyone in the Emei Sect will reward you handsomely!" said Shi Rui, the junior sister next to her.
Zhao Xiaofei was very happy, thinking: God will not let me starve to death, my luck is back! As long as I return to Chengdu and see Fang Xinyu, everything will be under control.
Shen Yunying brought eight fellow apprentice sisters and followed Zhao Xiaofei and the others as they headed southwest.
When they arrived at the next town, Zhao Xiaofei paid for three more donkey carts, and then a team of thirteen people, mostly women, traveled on the road in southwestern Shaanxi.
But not far from the town, near a forest, they ran into trouble.
A group of twenty men blocked our way, each of them a big, bloody man. Each of them was holding a weapon, some holding knives, some holding sticks, and some holding forks. It can be said that their weapons were varied!
A leading man laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I didn't expect that today we would not only make a fortune, but also rob a woman! Ladies, come back with me! I promise you will eat and drink delicious food, and enjoy a good life! And give us a big fat boy! Hahaha!"
After the man finished speaking, the other men behind him also burst into laughter.
Zhao Xiaofei knew at a glance that they were a bunch of peasants who had never seen the world. Didn’t they know that one should not easily provoke monks, Taoists and women in the underworld?
