Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Chapter 230 The Truth

"Sit down." Mo Zhu invited Jiang Liuer to sit down.

"Oh..." Jiang Liuer took a seat opposite Mo Zhu.

"You came all the way from Black Sand City to chase this dog?"

"Yeah." Jiang Liuer began to answer the question seriously.

"why?"

"I can't tell you this, but I have to take Black Hawk with me."

"Why didn't you steal it when it was still in General Qin's hands?"

"...I can't even steal from you, a young master, so how can I steal from you in the military camp?" Jiang Liuer felt very powerless.

"You're quite self-aware..."

“It’s not self-knowledge that makes you wise, it’s practice that makes you wise.”

"Heh." Mo Zhu thought the little guy was quite interesting and continued, "I've always had a good impression of loyal people, so even though you've been provoking me, I haven't blamed you."

"Isn't it considered a crime to lock me up in the woodshed and not let me eat?"

"It's a crime to sell you to compensate for all the treasures I have on the land."

"..."

"Where is your master? I'll take you and Xiaobai there."

"Its name is Black Hawk... The master asked me to send Black Hawk to another place."

"where?"

"Jifeng City."

"The city north of Black Sand City?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll send you and Xiaobai there first, and then send you back to Black Sand City?"

"Black Hawk! Black Hawk! Why do you call it Xiaobai..."

"Its current owner calls it Xiaobai."

"What are you going to tell its current owner?"

"I'll take care of this, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh……"

"Why did your master send Xiaobai away?"

“…” Jiang Liuer covered her face, not knowing what to do.

"Even though you didn't know me before, let me tell you this: your master's business is my business."

Jiang Liu'er was obviously stunned for a moment.

"You're still a child. You came all the way here to look for this dog. If I'm not mistaken, your owner must be in trouble now."

Jiang Liu'er still didn't say anything.

"You and Xiaobai are the few people who are still free... and the dog."

Seeing that Jiang Liu'er still didn't put his hand down, Mo Zhu continued, "If you believe me, you and Xiaobai will be under my care from now on. I will definitely do whatever your master tells me to do, and..."

Jiang Liuer listened attentively.

"I will definitely rescue your master."

"Really?" Jiang Liuer finally let down his guard.

"I don't have any other skills, but I always do what I say."

"How...how do you save him?"

"Then you must first tell me about your master's current situation."

Jiang Liuer sighed: "The young master and the old master are all imprisoned in the military camp of Black Sand City."

"General Qin captured him?"

"Ah."

"reason?"

"The Ye family is also a famous merchant family in Black Sand City. Of course, we cannot accept your Ningsi City's invasion of Black Sand City."

Mo Zhu nodded.

"Why aren't you angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"I said that your Ningsi City invaded Black Sand City."

"Why should I be angry?"

"……never mind."

"Oh, we never get involved in matters on our territory. We are businessmen, and we cannot afford to offend any force. Everything can be negotiated. The Ye family is also stubborn. Seeing that we cannot defeat them, we can surrender and give them some gold, silver and jewelry, and the whole family can still save their lives."

"Our master said he would defend Black Sand City to the death."

"I know, that's why we're in this situation now." Mo Zhu shook his head and asked, "What does your young master look like?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Liu'er looked at Mo Zhu: "A little shorter than you, a little thinner, a little whiter, and more handsome than you."

"You're quite polite."

"Then what should I say...it's pretty much what I said. How old are you?"

"eighteen."

"Oh... then you are older than my young master. My young master is twenty-two years old."

“Can you draw?”

"will not."

"Okay, you rest today. I'll arrange a few days and then we'll set off."

"Really?"

"I said, I mean what I said, you stay at my house for a few days."

"Oh...thank you...thank you." Jiang Liuer felt a little guilty.

"You're welcome. I'm a man of my word, but I generally trust you. You can't stay with Xiaobai. You have to wait to set off with me."

"Tsk!" Jiang Liuer rolled his eyes.
