Chapter 18: Inquiry

"It's dead, you're dead, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the young master will hold you, put you to death, and poke your bones and scatter ashes!"

Zhongnan City, the backyard of the Zhou family, Zhou Bo is like an angry lion, roaring and roaring.

Crackling!

A valuable set of cups on the table was slammed to the ground, reduced to splinters.

On the edge of the house, several people in the courtyard did not dare to breathe, and stood solemnly with their hands down, for fear that they would offend the young master's moldy head at this time, so they would not be able to eat and walk around.

The young master was just called by the master to be trained, and he was on fire.

After venting fiercely, Zhou Bo's feelings eased somewhat, and he sat down with a gloomy expression. He's not stupid, but he's not stupid. It's just that according to the current shape, the whole thing is full of a strange meaning, which makes him very puzzled.

Who saved the child?

Brother?

But he lives with the old deacon, and he has no brother at the root, so where did this kid come from?

According to the previous testimony servant, the other party is just a weak-crowned young man who has not shown much martial arts skills, as for how to kill the royal court, it is more appropriate to describe it as walking shit luck.

Zhou Bo thought that the death of Wang Huyuan was purely an accident, but now the death of Steward Wu and Li Huyuan is like a basin of ice water poured on his head, making him soberly realize that the other party may not be as simple as imagined.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, as long as you kill the people of the Zhou family, you must pay the debt in blood. ”

With his mind in mind, he began to call the shots. Every order was given, and there were family warriors who galloped out of the city to carry it out.

Three orders, there are three warriors. The number of people has decreased compared to the previous batch, but they are all masters of the fifth stage of the strong path, and the backbone of the family is far from being comparable to the martial artists in the third stage of the strong path.

Although he was reprimanded, his father did not intervene in this matter, and Zhou Bo still handled it with full authority. This move is obviously to exercise his ability to manage affairs and prepare him for future succession.

After a while, someone said, "Mr. Guo is here."

When Zhou Bo heard this, his face tightened uncomfortably.

Mr. Kwok is of medium height, wearing a plain robe, with a clear face and three long beards. It looks like a warrior and a gentleman in a private school.

Zhou Bo immediately greeted him respectfully and greeted him with a salute.

In the Zhou family, Mr. Guo's status is respectful, and even Zhou Bo's father has to be respectful when he sees it.

Without it, it is because Mr. Guo not only has a great background, but also is a master of the nine stages of strength.

Martial arts cultivation is divided into three stages, the Strength Dao, the Qi Dao, and the Royal Dao. Each major stage is subdivided into nine small realms, with "segments" as the unit.

The dragon veins of the barren continent were shattered, the aura was getting thinner and thinner, and the cultivation environment was unsatisfactory, which greatly restricted the advanced path of the martial artists. Therefore, all along, the sect that can run away and migrate has run out, and the name "Abandoned Continent" comes from this.

For those who remain, the competition for the few resources is even more fierce.

Under such circumstances, it is very rare to be able to become an airway-level martial artist, even if you only have a section of the airway, you can still sit on one side. And the ninth stage of the strength path belongs to the peak of the strength stage, and it is only half a step away from the qi path.

It can be said that the reason why the Zhou family was able to rise rapidly in Zhongnan City and become a strong contender for the city lord is inseparable from Mr. Guo's existence. In the entire county town, there were only three or five martial artists who had reached the ninth rank.

Zhou Boping retreated, bowed down and asked, "Mr. Guo is looking for me?"

Mr. Guo raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly. His tone was quite strange and slow, as if every word he said had to be carefully considered and weighed repeatedly before he spoke: "Young master, the old man heard that someone from the Nanjian Mansion came yesterday?"

Zhou Bo's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, there is a Deacon Luo who is coming to visit." ”

"What's going on?"

"He's here to find someone, looking for a young man surnamed Liang, who is said to be a miscellaneous servant of the Sword Mansion, and wants us to help find him. ”

Mr. Guo's eyebrows furrowed: "Looking for a handyman?" obviously didn't believe it.

Zhou Bo smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on, my father wanted someone to tell Mr. yesterday, but it doesn't matter if I think about it, so I ......." ”

Mr. Guo waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said with a smile: "Young master, please tell the head of the family and let him reflect on it: how did your Zhou family become the great clan of Zhongnan City." ”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Bo was so anxious that a cold sweat was about to break out: "Sir, don't misunderstand, it's really Deacon Naluo who took the initiative to come to the door, and my father can't refuse, after all, I am going to become a disciple of the Sword Mansion." ”

"Well, I don't mean to blame. One qiē, just act according to the agreement. I believe that your father and son are not stupid people and will not destroy their future. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Zhou Bo nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

So the old man took his leave. ”

Mr. Guo flicked his sleeves and walked out slowly.

Zhou Bo found that his back was wet, and he was scared out of a cold sweat, sat back on the chair, drank a cup of tea in a big gulp, and scolded the uninvited Deacon Luo:

"This dead fat man, chicken feathers are arrows, and he even has to find a handyman to annoy his own family, which is really hateful. Having said that, what kind of guy is that handyman surnamed Liang, is he a fugitive? But no, looking at Deacon Luo's attitude, there is no intention of Xingshi to ask for guilt......

A strange look appeared on his face, and he was stunned.

"Huh, could it be the one who saved the?"

Thinking of something suddenly, Zhou Bo couldn't help but jump up: "It won't be so coincidental." He shook his head to himself, unable to accept it: How could a miscellaneous servant of the Zhongnan Sword Mansion kill Steward Wu and them, it was simply impossible, he should be careful.

"But it's better to ask Deacon Luo again and make sure. ”

Zhou Bo was still not very relieved, and ordered someone to find Deacon Luo.

Deacon Luo was very depressed, and he had been out for a long time, but there was no news of Liang Qiufeng.

Unable to find anyone, he did not dare to go back.

Elder Xiao also let out his words, and Deacon Luo would never dare to be the slightest bit ambiguous. And he is just a little deacon in the outer mansion of the Sword Mansion, and he can be powerful in the face of miscellaneous servants, but it is not enough to see it outside. Even if he used the signboard of the Sword Mansion to make the heroes in the city receive him, and verbally promised to help find him, it was debatable whether he could contribute on the ground.

In recent years, Jianfu Ke has been going downhill, and its prestige in the local area has plummeted.

Deacon Luo was thoughtful and thought of a lot.

It has long been an indisputable fact that the Zhongnan Sword Mansion is declining in Xishan, and there are many rumors outside, saying that Zhongnan Mountain will change hands sooner or later and be seized by other rising sects in the wasteland. Tiandumen in the north is a big rival. It is ready to move, and has not stopped expanding to the south.

In the Wasteland, Zhongnan Mountain has spiritual veins, which is the most valuable wealth of Zhongnan Sword Mansion, and it is also the bane of provoking strong enemies.

Under such circumstances, Deacon Luo naturally did not dare to pretend to be a tiger, and he had to accompany him carefully when asking for help, and he spent a lot of money to clean up the joints.

He originally thought that Liang Qiufeng would come to join the old deacon.

The former old deacon lived in the south of the city, and after abdicating from the Sword Mansion, he returned to the city to retire. And the relationship between the old deacon and Liang Qiufeng, Deacon Luo knows. In other words, there is also this part of the reason why Liang Qiufeng can't be seen in the Sword Mansion, I always feel that this kid is the old deacon's person, and I can't believe it.

Therefore, when he came to Zhongnan City, he immediately went to find the old deacon. However, the situation he found made him dumbfounded, the old deacon's family was ruined, and counting the time, it must have been before Liang Qiufeng was driven down the mountain.

Then, even if Liang Qiufeng rushed to Zhongnan City, he would have nothing to rely on, and the clues would be cut off.

Deacon Luo was almost crazy, thinking that after finding Liang Qiufeng, he would definitely split his chest and catch him, and slap him vigorously a few times to vent the hatred in his heart.

After going crazy, he wanted to cry again: "I want to go back to the mountain as soon as possible!"

A day later, the young master of the Zhou family invited him, and Deacon Luo was overjoyed, thinking that there was news. However, Zhou Bo asked him to re-depict Liang Qiufeng's appearance, saying that he would ask someone to paint a portrait so that he could help find someone.

Deacon Luo didn't have it, and said it in detail. In fact, he had already told Zhou Bo's father about these situations before, and he didn't know why he had to ask again.

Liang Qiufeng's physical characteristics are relatively ordinary, thin, and delicate. There are many such down-and-out teenagers in Zhongnan City, and they are not outstanding, and they can pull a few out at will, which undoubtedly increases a lot of difficulty.

After listening, Zhou Bo fell into deep thought, and only then asked, "Deacon Luo, you said that he is a miscellaneous servant of the Sword Mansion, and he is usually responsible for sweeping the floor and cleaning the doors and windows?"

"Not really. ”

Zhou Bo wondered: "In that case, what are you looking for Deacon Luo to do?"

Deacon Luo was asked, in fact, he really wanted to ask Xiao Jihai about this sentence: "Elder Xiao, what are you looking for that kid?" Of course, even if he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, he categorically didn't dare to open this mouth.

Fortunately, Zhou Bo changed the topic at the right time and asked, "Deacon Luo, then may I ask if this miscellaneous servant is a martial artist?"

Deacon Luo spat on the ground fiercely, and couldn't help but burst out: "He is a martial artist, and the sow will go up the tree." Born as an orphan, his body is very weak, but he is a daydreamer, and when he is in the mountains, he is often ridiculed by other handymen to the point of self-esteem......"

"Okay, okay, I just need to know what he looks like, and as for the rest, I'm not interested. ”

Since he is not a martial artist, then the person the other party is looking for does not match the person who saved the untimely death. Zhou Bo's whole person relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Deacon Luo, go back to the inn and rest, I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is news. But Zhongnancheng said that it was not big, it was not small, and it was not easy to find someone. Besides, maybe this Zigen didn't come to Zhongnan City, but went to other places, so it would be difficult to do. ”

Zhou Bo's words touched on Deacon Luo's headache: the world is big, and for Liang Qiufeng, who is alone, there may indeed be countless next stops.

Looking for him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Liang Qiufeng, Liang Qiufeng, where did you kid die?"
