Chapter 22: Broken Meridians
Located in the center of the province to the east, it is the center of a province. The governor's palace, which was in charge of the entire eastern province, was also in this city.
At this time, in the living room of the Governor's Mansion, Wu Xingcheng was talking with a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a good face and a bit of bookishness.
"What you say is true?"
"Lord Governor, what the subordinates say is true! The Shen family has really been destroyed. ”
Ignoring Wu Xingcheng, who was full of joy, the middle-aged man's expression was uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
His name is Luo Guangying, and he is the governor in charge of the entire Donglin Province, from the second rank official.
Wu Xingcheng was a little confused, because Luo Guangying had always wanted to unify the forces in the eastern province. It stands to reason that the Shen family was destroyed, Luo Guangying should be happy, how could it be this performance?
After half a ring, Luo Guangying said with a faint gaze: "According to what you said, the Shen family has not offended anyone, and there is no trace of being looted. Then why were they destroyed?"
"It's... I don't know about this subordinate. Wu Xingcheng said cautiously.
Luo Guangying's eyes flickered, "Didn't the Shen family really have any enemies before?"
"There must be a few enemies, but there is absolutely no such hatred that destroys the door. Wu Xingcheng paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "If you want to say that the person who has the greatest grudge with the Shen family now, it seems to be us." ”
Luo Guangying frowned and didn't speak again.
Wu Xingcheng said curiously: "Lord Governor, are you worried that the Lin family will suspect us?"
Luo Guangying shook his head slightly, "According to what you just described, the strength of this murderer has reached at least the royal level, do we have a king-level master?"
"Imperial level?!" Wu Xingcheng was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but scream.
Luo Guangying said lightly: "Don't worry, the Lin family is not so stupid, if we have a king-level master, I will still be just a mere governor?"
"Then what are you ......," Wu Xingcheng asked worriedly.
Without answering Wu Xingcheng's question, Luo Guangying asked, "Are there any masters in Yusha City recently?"
Wu Xing admitted that he really thought about it and replied, "No." ”
Luo Guangying's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he muttered: "Could it be that the Shen family is really so much backed, and was suddenly destroyed by an unknown master? Or does it mean that the Shen family has an enemy that you don't even know." ”
"And why is the Shen family all destroyed, but only Shen Yu and Shen Yuan are missing......"
The more he thought about it, the more puzzling he became, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Then, he instructed: "There are many doubts in this matter, you go back immediately, bring Su Huyang, and see what he thinks." ”
Wu Xingcheng suddenly chuckled in his heart, Luo Guangying valued Su Huyang so much, it was not a good thing for him.
Seeing that Wu Xingcheng didn't reply, Luo Guangying said unhappily: "What are you doing in a daze? ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. Wu Xingcheng saluted respectfully and quickly left here.
After Wu Xingcheng left, Luo Guangying's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
He walked briskly to his study, took up his pen and wrote down a letter, which he handed to a soldier to hurry up and deliver it.
After the soldier left, he sighed deeply: "Alas...... It seems that the matter of winning over the Lin family can only be thought of in another way. ”
......
An hour later, Luo Guangying was having dinner when a soldier came to tell him that Wu Xingcheng suddenly came back and came with Diao Xiong.
Luo Guangying had no intention of continuing to eat, and came to the living room.
Seeing Luo Guangying coming, Wu Xingcheng and the two hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Your Excellency, my subordinates have important things to report. ”
Luo Guangying came to the chair and sat down, his sharp gaze swept towards the two, "Speak." ”
Subsequently, Diao Xiong told Luo Guangying about what happened in the City Lord's Mansion this morning.
Luo Guangying's heart beat wildly after hearing this, and he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked, "Did you really see Shen Cha injure Lin Gaohong with your own eyes?"
"Yes, Lord Governor. Diao Xiong looked apprehensive, but his tone was very respectful.
"How old is he?"
"Twenty-two years old. ”
"Shhh
Luo Guangying gasped, and his heart was shocked.
"Blood-colored vitality, blood-colored pupils, you can injure Lin Gaohong at the age of twenty-two, this is ......"
Luo Guangying didn't know what to say.
In the flash of light, he had a quick choice in his heart.
"You guys go back to Yusha City first, be more stable during this time, and don't provoke the Shen family. ”
Wu Xingcheng asked, "Lord Governor, then do I still want Su Huyang to come to see you?"
Luo Guangying shook his head, "No need." ”
Wu Xingcheng's mood was a little complicated, although it was a good thing for him that Luo Guangying didn't see Su Huyang, but he couldn't take this opportunity to completely destroy the Shen family, but it made him even more uncomfortable.
He wanted to speak and stopped: "Lord Governor, Shen Sha has killed so many soldiers, why don't we take this opportunity to ......?"
"What are you doing here, using official power to arrest Shen Sha?" Luo Guangying interrupted him directly.
"Yes. Wu Xingcheng said stiffly.
Luo Guangying glared and scolded: "Yes, yes!"
"Lin Gaohong is a master of the peak of the Imperial Monarch, even he is not Shen Sha's opponent, who do you want to arrest Shen Sha?
"There are only a few thrones in the entire Jinyun Kingdom, which one of them is not entangled in important matters, and who can you invite?"
"And if Shen Cha escapes, with his qualifications, he will definitely be able to break through to the royal level or even higher in time, which throne is willing to offend him?"
"I think you're full of in your head, and you would come up with such a ridiculous idea!"
Wu Xingcheng was stunned by Luo Guangying's words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Diao Xiong on the side couldn't help it, and said cautiously: "Lord Governor, Shen Sha cares about his family the most, we can use the Shen family as a threat." ”
Luo Guangying laughed angrily, "To blackmail, now that the Shen family is left with Shen Sanpang, how do you want to blackmail him?"
"If something happens and Shen Sanpang is rescued or killed, do you think Shen Sha can let you go, can you let me go?"
"Do you want Governor Ben to be in danger of being assassinated by Shen Sha with you?"
Diao Xiong was so frightened that he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic: "My subordinates don't dare, I'm sorry for the governor, it's because my subordinates didn't think it through." ”
Luo Guangying snorted coldly, and didn't want to deal with the two anymore, so he waved his hand impatiently to the two.
"Alright, let's go, don't get in the way here. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. Wu Xingcheng and the two hurriedly responded and walked out in embarrassment.
After the two left, Luo Guangying could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and yelled at the door.
"Someone!"
The soldiers at the door hurriedly ran in, but before they could speak, Luo Guangying said to himself: "No! This matter is too important, I have to go myself." ”
Then, he didn't pay attention to the confused soldiers, and walked out quickly with a ecstatic face.
......
After Wu Xingcheng and Diao Xiong came out of the Governor's Mansion, Diao Xiong said with some fear: "City Lord, why don't we go back yet, I have already let my family leave the Imperial Evil City to avoid the limelight before I came." You didn't see it today, how terrible it is for this Shen Sha to go crazy......"
Listening to Diao Xiong gushing about today's scene, Wu Xingcheng said that he was not afraid that it was fake.
Although if you think about this matter carefully, no one will think that it was the Shen family that they destroyed, but I am afraid that if Shen Sha wakes up, he is still in a state of losing his mind, it will hurt.
Wu Xingcheng thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's hide outside the city for a few days first, and see if Shen Sha is still in a state of losing his mind after waking up." If not, let's go back. ”
Diao Xiong was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "What the city lord said is very true, it just so happens that I have a property not far from the city, and no one knows about it, so let's live there first." ”
Wu Xingcheng said with some concern: "It can be, but my wife and children ......."
Diao Xiong hurriedly responded: "Your Excellency the City Lord, rest assured, Mrs. Zun and Ling Gongzi have been taken away by Commander Qi and have taken refuge in Kunmang City with my family. ”
Wu Xingcheng was immediately grateful, looking at Diao Xiong's ugly face as black as coal, the more he looked at it, the more cute he felt.
"Master Diao, thank you, I will definitely have a reward for this matter in the future. ”
Diao Xiong's heart was full of joy and he smiled like a two-hundred-pound child.
"Whatever the city lord says, this is what I should do. A trivial thing is not enough to worry about. ”
Wu Xingcheng didn't go on too politely, and suddenly felt something: "A young man in his early twenties actually forced you and me to flee with my family, this is really... Alas......"
Diao Xiong couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Alas...... Who said it wasn't, if you want to blame it, blame this Shen Xiu, you have nothing to do with any kindness, and adopted such a demon. ”
Wu Xingcheng was a little red-eyed, just listening to Diao Xiong's description, his people were at least more than half lost, how could he not feel distressed.
He said viciously: "Yes! Shen Xiu just deserves it! Who let him adopt such a scourge, this is obviously a curse, he deserves to be destroyed, and it is best that the two boys of Shen Yu and Shen Yuan are also dead!"
Diao Xiong followed and scolded the Shen family.
The two of you scolded me word by word and went on the road.
......
Shen Mansion, in the mourning hall.
"Father, please, child, go get some food and rest. ”
"Yes, father, if my little sister saw you like this, she would definitely be unbearable. ”
Three days have passed.
In the past three days, Lin Gaohong has been guarding Lin Chulu's body, not eating or sleeping.
Lin Gaohong's favorite is Lin Chulu's little daughter, how can a white-haired person send a black-haired person, how can he not be heartbroken?
At this time, he was unkempt and his eyes were scattered, as if he had lost his spirit. Originally, there were only a few strands of gray hair, but there were more than ten times more, and there was no image of a first-class master.
"Alas......"
Lin Gaohong sighed deeply, let alone resting, whenever he closed his eyes, there would always be a scene of Lin Chulu being killed in front of him, which was undoubtedly a knife in his heart.
And the scene was so dreamlike and so realistic that every time he was awakened. So he didn't even dare to blink his eyes now, for fear of seeing this scene that made him extremely sad again.
"I said I couldn't eat it, what happened to that kid named Shang Qi?"
Lin Zheqian's face was ugly, and he stopped talking: "That child has woken up, and his life is no longer hindered, but Uncle Lun said... Say ......"
"What do you say?!" Lin Gaohong's tone aggravated a little.
After struggling in his heart, Lin Zhe said: "Uncle Lun said that Shang Qi's meridians have been broken, and he will not be able to cultivate in the future, or even overwork, so it is best not to get out of bed." ”
Lin Gaohong's body trembled, and his face darkened a little, "Is there no way to treat it?"
Lin Zheqian shook his head, "Uncle Lun said that the treatment of meridians is the most tricky. In the case of broken meridians, I am afraid that only a king-level alchemist can have a way to treat it, but the success rate is less than one percent. ”
"The point is, we don't have a king-level alchemist in Jinyun Country at all. ”
Lin Gaohong said slowly: "Hope is better than nothing. ”
"His injuries were caused by saving me, and they were injured by Xiaosha. If he waited for Xiao Cha to come to his senses, with the family-like relationship between him and Yanzhu, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life. ”
"You send someone to find a king-level alchemist. If you can find it, no matter how much it costs, you have to ask him to help. ”
"We have to repay the grace of saving lives. ”
Lin Zheqian hurriedly agreed: "Yes, father, the child will definitely do his best to do this." ”
Lin Gaohong nodded, and then looked at Lin Zheyi on the side, "What about Xiao Cha, has he woken up?"
