Chapter 199: Back to the City
When he came, he walked, and rode a horse back, which was fast, and he arrived at the fork in the road where the horse's hooves disappeared at noon the next day, Wu Dalie was likely to get lost from here that day, and another fork in the road to the south must be the path to the Silkworm Valley.
After staying in Ma for a long time, he finally decided not to go, what Wu Dalie said in his letter should be true, and there is no need to investigate and confirm it.
Fearing that the people who had killed the wild deer by mistake that day blocked him from the road, he chose an area to pass through at dawn, a time when both humans and animals were tired and tired.
No danger, passed smoothly, walked for a few days, close to Goat Valley, finally came out of a trip, it stands to reason that you should bring some gifts to friends, after thinking about it, you still decided not to go in, in case you are recognized, it will only increase the trouble.
Goat Valley is lively at night, and it is the most deserted in the morning, so I chose this time period to pass through the forest in the east, and went to the place where Luan Fengjian was hidden that day to observe and search, and found that Luan Fengjian was no longer there, needless to say that it was taken away by Jiang Nan.
On the way back, Wu Zhongyuan has been unsteady in his heart, there are more than 20 people who saw him that night, and there are more people chasing him, although these people don't know who he is, they know that he runs very fast, even the purple qi master of the Tiger Clan Wang Li can't catch up with him, this is the most fatal clue, it is easy to lock his identity, as long as the news spreads, sooner or later someone will think of him.
Fortunately, on the night of the incident, he once ran to the Huaishui River, and since there he has been suspicious, creating the illusion that Luan Fengjian sank into Huaishui, through the reaction of everyone that night, they were all misled, as for how seriously misled, you can observe the situation near the Huaishui Stone Bridge on the way back, if everyone is convinced that Luan Fengjian sank into the water, they will definitely look for it in the Huai River.
In a place more than ten miles away from Huaishui, Wu Zhongyuan was stunned by the scene in front of him, the large woodland with low terrain in front of him has become a swamp, the reason for this situation is undoubtedly that someone in order to find Luan Fengjian, Xingshi mobilized the crowd to block and intercept Huaishui, so that it was diverted elsewhere.
The water is not very deep in the flooded place, you can ride a horse to pass, go to the river to see, sure enough, the Huaishui has been cut off, the river is dug full of devastation, until now, there are still people digging and looking for miles away, the black Jiao entrenched here has disappeared, and I don't know whether it was killed or driven away.
There are two tents on the other side of the stone bridge, if you want to pass through here, you must pass through those two tents, in order to avoid being checked, Wu Zhongyuan did not go from here, but went upstream from the south bank of the river, from the embankment of the upstream river diversion to the north bank, and only returned to the old road after detouring more than ten miles from the forest.
In this way, the heart is even more unsteady, in order to find Luan Fengjian, these people do not hesitate to spend time and effort to cut off the Huaishui, without the coverage and cover of the river, soon everyone knows that Luan Fengjian did not fall into the Huaishui, and after looking for no results, they will refocus their attention on him and Wu Dalie.
Wu Dalie is now trapped in the Heavenly Silkworm Valley, everyone will definitely not be able to find him, and if they can't find Wu Dalie, they will go all out to find him, and it will be a matter of time before he is exposed.
He is not worried about his own safety, but he is worried that once this matter is exposed, it is likely to bring disaster to Daqiu, who has already suffered heavy losses, and if there is another war, it will be tantamount to making things worse.
The red strange bird was still in place, sensing Wu Zhongyuan's arrival, and did not speak to him again, but opened his already blind eyes and tilted his head to "look" at him
In this way, he returned to the territory of Daqiu with full of worries, and if he wanted to return to Daqiu, he had to pass through Pingye, which was one of the eight cities to which Daqiu belonged, and the cattle and sheep he and Wu Dalie brought with them when they went south were caught from here.
When he arrived in the plains, Wu Zhongyuan was in a good mood, because he got a piece of news from here that worried the bear clan but made him feel relieved, Luan Fengjian was won by the Niu clan, and the Niu clan held a grand celebration for this yesterday.
Since the Luan Feng Sword has been obtained by the Niu Clan, the person who is looking for it is also dead, at first he didn't think much about it, but after thinking about it carefully, it is likely that Jiang Nan did it intentionally, in order to avoid the whereabouts of the Luan Feng Sword from being unknown, and the coveted people searched everywhere and finally found his head.
The reason why this is inferred is because although Jiang Nan's cultivation is not low, he is only a cave Xuan light blue, and it is not a good thing for her to expose herself to the Luan Feng Sword too early, and the reason why she does this is to transfer the guilt from him to herself.
It was early in the morning when he returned to Daqiu, and the soldiers defending the city recognized him and immediately opened the door to greet him when he returned, and he had won the respect of the soldiers for his bravery in the two battles against the attacks of the snow monsters and the ox tribe.
At this time, it was the time of the morning meeting, Wu Zhongyuan did not go home, but directly led the horse to the square outside the morning meeting hall, Wu Qin and others were holding a meeting in the morning meeting hall, seeing him come back, Wu Chen suspended the meeting and introduced the red and blue warriors in the meeting hall to him.
The warriors of Daqiu City were almost killed and wounded in the bloody battle with Jiang Baili and others, before departure, Wu Qin transferred some low-level warriors from his subordinate Yi City, this time in the morning hall not only had eight low-level warriors transferred before, but also six more blue-clothed warriors and another six red-clothed warriors, after Wu Qin's introduction, he knew that these warriors were from Dayang, Dachuan, Dashi three walled cities, the city lord of these three walled cities had a very good personal relationship with Wu Qin, worried that the Niu clan would attack him again and had no soldiers available, so he sent four warriors to garrison to listen to the tune.
went to two, came back one, Wu Qin must have to ask Wu Dalie where he went, everyone was around, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't speak, and after hesitating, he had to take out the letter that Wu Dalie wrote to him and hand it to Wu Qin.
After reading it, Wu Qin's face was solemn and he nodded slowly.
Everyone didn't know why, they all thought that something serious had happened, and they all stared at Wu Qin suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan was also looking at Wu Qin, he admired Wu Qin very much, Wu Dalie made such a moth, it was not easy for Wu Qin to endure not scolding, and he could pretend to be serious with a straight face, how big a measure and how deep the city was this.
Wu Qin did not tell everyone where Wu Dalie went, which was also expected by Wu Zhongyuan, and after a few brief words, the morning discussion ended.
Those warriors from outside had heard of Wu Zhongyuan's heroic deeds, and after the meeting was over, they came to greet him, Wu Zhongyuan responded politely, and after greetings, he gave the grain he brought back to another warrior, each warrior has his own ministry, and he is in charge of the post field, regardless of farming.
There were outsiders present, and it was not appropriate to go to Wu Qin's residence with his pockets, and those who didn't know thought that he was coming back from a business trip to get benefits and give gifts to the leaders, so he first went to the post house to send the white nose back to the stable, and then went to Wu Qin's residence with his pockets.
Wu Qin was teaching his youngest son to practice martial arts, and Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward to explain the situation and handed the cloth bag to Wu Qin.
Wu Qin took the pocket, opened it and glanced at it, and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on, how could he get into trouble with the Heavenly Silkworm Valley?"
Wu Zhongyuan had to briefly explain what happened, Wu Qin frowned from the beginning, and Wu Qin still frowned after he finished speaking.
Although he was angry, Wu Qin didn't say anything, only said "drinking and making mistakes", and then took out the smallest ginseng from his pocket, and handed the rest to Wu Zhongyuan, "One with you, and the other for his family." ”
Seeing Wu Qin doing this, Wu Zhongyuan knew in his heart, and he was angry, Wu Qin still didn't take Wu Dalie as an outsider, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted his things at all.
He didn't take the pocket, but took the small one in Wu Qin's hand, "If she asks, how can I tell her?"
Wu Qin naturally didn't help him come up with ideas, but just glanced at him, without saying a word, the disaster was caused by the two of you, and you should find a way to deal with it yourself.
Wu Zhongyuan picked up the ginseng and went to Wu Dalie's residence, how could Wu Dalie's wife not ask where her husband was, there was no way, he could only say that Wu Dalie had something important to do, and he couldn't come back in a short time.
The other party asked Wu Dalie what he was doing and when he would come back, he didn't know anything.
He left with his front foot, and Wu Dalie's wife went out with his back foot, and he went east, needless to say, he went to find Wu Qin.
Turning a street, he saw his own residence and saw Arlo at the same time, probably someone had told Arlo that he was back, and Arlo was standing at the door waiting for him.
Arlo didn't talk much, and when he came back, he just smiled happily.
Wu Zhongyuan also smiled, then pointed to the room and motioned to go in and talk.
After entering the house, Ah Luo brought Wu Zhongyuan foot washing water, as usual, Wu Zhongyuan still washed it himself, Ah Luo still tried to help him wash it, and then Wu Zhongyuan put on a face, and then Ah Luo stepped back.
The way the two speak is also fixed, Ah Luo rarely takes the initiative to say anything, he only says after he asks Ah Luo, and more often he says that Ah Luo listens.
Wu Zhongyuan first asked how Luo had learned words during this time, and then told her some common sense of acupoints and meridians, and when Ah Luo helped him pour the water to wash his feet, he signaled Ah Luo to close the door casually.
Ah Luo was a little puzzled, because when the two of them were in the house, Wu Zhongyuan always tried to open the door as much as possible, and there must be something to tell her about closing the door this time.
I didn't think that Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything to her, but took out a light red qi tonifying pill from the waist rope and handed it to her, and after she took it, he pointed to his lips and made a silent gesture.
Ah Luo had never seen the Qi Replenishing Pill, but if he hadn't seen it, it didn't mean that he hadn't heard of it, knowing that this thing was rare, he was moved in his heart but was not good at words, and he was stunned for a long time, and then he said thank you in a low voice.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, at this time the porridge and rice were also cooked, after breakfast, he went out again, looking for the warrior in charge of the residence to change a house, the house he currently lives in is the stone house where Ah Tong and her master lived before their deaths, although it is big, there is no space, Ah Luo is not a child anymore, he has to avoid suspicion.
In addition to changing houses, he also asked for an old mother by the way, the cave god warrior can have five servants, but he didn't want so much, he made a lot of noise, and he wanted this old mother mainly to cook and clean, and Ah Luo could also spare time to learn words and practice qi.
In the following days, he had been practicing qi behind closed doors, and he had taken a red qi tonifying pill near Huaishui before, which consumed part of the medicinal power to replenish the depleted spiritual qi, and the rest were still accumulated in the abdomen and needed to travel the meridians to refine.
Refining a Qi Replenishing Pill is not an overnight effort, it takes quite a long time, but what the Qi Replenishing Pill saves is the time required to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and as for refining, you still have to work hard yourself.
Taking the red qi replenishing pill as an example, it contains enough aura needed to advance from the light red cave god to the red high mystery, and taking the pill can shorten the time required to improve cultivation, and it is roughly estimated that it can be increased by about three times, which means that if it takes ten days for others to advance, three days is enough for those who take the pill.
In late February, the cave god warriors of the cities under the jurisdiction of Daqiu began to gather in Daqiu, and March 3rd was coming, everyone had to gather from here, and then go to the capital to undergo the five elements and bloodline two tests......
