Chapter 61: Return to Beijing

There was a hint of disappointment in Shen Shuming's eyes. He originally thought that when Yu Wanlai sensed that a master was coming, he would strike first and kill these people from the Purification Sect first.

For the Purification Sect, Shen Shuming has always been highly suspicious and vigilant, if he can take the opportunity to weaken the Purification Sect, he will definitely be willing to do it.

At the moment, Yu Wanlai didn't know that the two sides had cooperated, and at this time, he took action to kill these people, and the Purification Sect could only suffer a dumb loss.

It's just that I didn't expect Yu Wanlai to be so cautious, it's a pity that he had such a good opportunity.

Immediately, Shen Shuming smiled innocently, "Don't do it." Mr. Zhou has cooperated with them and is considered his own person. ”

Yu Wanlai shrugged his shoulders, "Thanks to your timely reminder, I almost couldn't help but do it just now." ”

Shen Shuming pursed his lips and said, "It's just some inconsequential little miscellaneous fish, it doesn't matter." Let's go, Mr. Zhou is waiting for you. ”

Yu Wanlai followed Shen Shuming, looked left and right all the way, and came to the central control room curiously.

Zhou Ziheng saw that Yu Wanlai had arrived, and said to Master Huizhi: "I still have some official business, which needs to be dealt with immediately, so I will leave first." ”

Master Obscure hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please." ”

Zhou Ziheng also instructed Shen Shuming and the others to leave and wait for the data to be copied, and then go to the upper living area to find him, and then glanced at Yu Wanlai, and left the control room.

Yu Wanlai followed Zhou Ziheng out.

After turning a corner, Zhou Ziheng looked left and right to confirm that there was no one, laid down a soundproof barrier, and said as he walked: "Have you checked it out?"

Yu Wanlai nodded, took two steps, approached Zhou Ziheng, and said, "I went straight to Jinou City, found several locals to inquire, and learned that there was indeed Meng Kan in the Fourth Frontier Army. ”

"He was originally the wife of Commander Lin Shaotang, a servant brought from his mother's family, and later joined the border guards, accumulated combat merits and entered the special combat team as a lieutenant colonel. Three years ago, he led a special combat team to escort two soldiers who had committed treason to Xijingcheng, and since then, he has stayed in Xijingcheng. ”

"In Jinou City, does anyone know about this child?"

Yu Wanlai shook his head, "No clues found." ”

Zhou Ziheng pondered for a moment and said, "This kid said that back then, he was taken away by the barbarians, could it be that Meng Kan escorted the two prisoners?"

Yu Wanlai thought for a while, nodded and said, "It should be that time." The time is right. And later, Meng Kan did not return to Jinou City. ”

"Why was that kid in the team at the time? Could it be that he was also involved in the case of treason?"

Yu Wanlai shook his head, "I didn't find out." ”

In fact, Zhou Ziheng's guess is already the truth, but it can't be confirmed, unless he can find Meng Kan.

Zhou Ziheng didn't continue to ask Wang Xiaotian about it, and said, "By the way, what's going on in Xijing City?"

"Dai Xuquan and Yin Haichuan have already torn their faces. Li Zhaolin, the director of the second division and the third department, was found by Yin Haichuan, and people were directly beaten half to death, and he lay at home for more than half a year before he could get out of bed, and he still hasn't gone to work. I guess his injuries are healed, but I don't want to go back and suffer from the fish in the pond. ”

Yin Haichuan's henchmen were also injured several times by Dai Xuquan. At present, the entire inspection institute is being made by them. Those who are unwilling to participate in it either claim that they are not sick or find opportunities to go out to work for a long time. During this time, no matter how hard and tiring the remote work is, there are people rushing to do it. The henchmen of the two are also panicked, for fear that if they are not careful, bad luck will fall on their heads. ”

"The president, the parliament, and the military-political council, do you have anything to do about this?"

Yu Wanlai shook his head, "At present, their contradictions are still internal, although some rumors have spread, but they have not caused an uproar. All parties are also waiting and watching, and have not taken a stand. However, if this continues, I am afraid that the lid will not be able to cover. ”

Zhou Ziheng nodded and said, "It seems that it's time for us to appear." This matter is basically done, and we will return to Beijing in two days. When you arrive in Xijing City, you take the time to go home and visit Lingzun. ”

I have to say that Zhou Ziheng has clever means, and in a few words, without a trace, he brought Yu Wanlai one step closer.

His sentence of "we" made Yu Wanlai's heart warm. Even if Yu Wanlai knew that Zhou Ziheng called him "we", he was taking the opportunity to say that he did not treat himself as an outsider and deliberately wooed him, but he was also very useful.

He hurriedly nodded in response.

Yu Wanlai's father is one of the deputy speakers of the parliament, and he has some energy in both political and business circles. If he can win his support, he will be a little more sure of Zhou Ziheng's victory in the periphery, waving the flag and shouting on the periphery, creating momentum, and Zhou Ziheng will compete for the position of dean.

Of course, the support of Yu Wanlai's father is limited after all and cannot play a decisive role.

Therefore, Zhou Ziheng did not plan to condescend to the noble and visit in person. However, it is also a rare opportunity for Wan Lai and his family.

If Zhou Ziheng succeeds, their family will have one, comparable to the middle of the old era, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the big thick legs of the dean of the inspection institute, not only Yu Wanlai, but also in the future, his family will also be stained with Zhou Ziheng's light, thriving. Even, in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, it is all done sideways.

Three days later, Zhou Ziheng took Wang Xiaotian and others to embark on a journey back to Beijing. In order to show his sincerity, Master Hao gave his car to Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng didn't make any excuses, and happily accepted it.

Therefore, compared with sleeping in the wind and rain when I came, the journey back to Beijing was very comfortable.

Except for Wang Xiaotian.

He was sealed by Zhou Ziheng and kicked out of the car in the name of training, allowing him to run along.

It doesn't matter if he runs, with Wang Xiaotian's physical fitness now that he has been strengthened by the fifth-level Force, it doesn't matter if he runs for a few days and nights.

What made Wang Xiaotian angry the most was that he was running behind him, tired like a grandson, but several of them took dragon meat as a snack in the car!

You say it's infuriating?

Cao Lianyou was lying on the back of the seat, looking at Wang Xiaotian who was sweating through the back window, chewing hard in her mouth, and cutting the ground dragon meat into thin strips.

For her, although the Dixing Dragon Meat has been concocted by Wu Ling'er, it is still a little laborious to eat.

Cao Lianyou looked at it for a while, trying to manipulate it, and her tired and sour cheeks swallowed the chewed minced meat, and suddenly a huge mass of force filled her thin body in an instant.

She felt her whole body inflate like a balloon with a jet in it. Immediately afterward, the Force in her body was running rapidly, refining and liquefiing the new Force.

This process takes some time, and during this time, Cao Lianyou needs to stop and wait, and cannot continue to eat meat.

So, she did something she had wanted to do for a long time - she asked in a low voice with some reluctance: "Teacher, why did you punish Brother Xiaotian? Did he do something wrong?"

Zhou Ziheng was holding a rib of an earth-walking dragon, gnawing happily. Hearing Cao Lianyou's question, Zhou Ziheng chewed the piece of meat in his mouth, and said a little indistinctly: "This is not a punishment. ”

"Your brother Xiaotian, he has just been promoted to the fifth level of the Force, and he is in the critical stage of body strengthening, if he can fully exercise his body at this time, then the strengthening effect will be increased by more than one percent. ”

Cao Lianyou was a little disappointed, "It's only a success?"

Zhou Ziheng said: "Don't underestimate the improvement of this success. At the critical moment of life and death, one point faster is life, and one point slower is death, let alone one percent?"

"If, two people of the same level of the Force fight for their lives. If you can be stronger, you will be able to occupy an advantage, if you can be stronger than three percent, you will have the upper hand, and if you are strong by fifty, it will be one-sided. ”

"Martial arts cultivation depends on the accumulation of bits and pieces, how can there be so many shortcuts? The world only understands how talented the Force masters and grandmasters are, but they don't think about how much effort they have put in? Which is not indispensable for talent, diligence, and luck to become a master?"

"Oh. Cao Lianyou listened and nodded understandingly.

Zhou Ziheng took a bite of meat, and said: "Mercy, your body was weaker before, and you haven't practiced hard. These days, you have to take good care of your body, and you have to practice diligently in the future. ”

Cao Lianyou's little face immediately drooped, "Ah, I also have to run desperately every day like Brother Xiaotian?"

Zhou Ziheng said disappreciatively: "What is this." You ask your aunt, as well as Uncle Shen and Uncle Yu, which one suffers less than Wang Xiaotian?"

Shen Shuming was holding the steering wheel with one hand, holding a rib with the other, eating fragrant in his mouth, hearing Zhou Ziheng's words, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything with a mouth full of meat, so he could only nod his head again and again, plus two mmmmmmmm

Yu Wanlai held a rib in each of his two hands. He learned that he had missed it, and the blood of the earth dragon, regretted hitting the wall, and vowed to eat it back desperately.

Now that the meat has reached its throat, it still refuses to stop, so that it can't even nod its head, so it has to agree twice.

In contrast, Wu Ling'er is much more gentle. She used a small knife, very carefully, to remove the dragon meat from the bones, pick out the fat and tender parts that are easy to digest, roast them thoroughly with the Force flame, and then put them on a plate, and then let them dry until they were not hot, and then gave them to Cao Lianyou to eat. The rest of the meat that is not chewy is kept for yourself.

Hearing Zhou Ziheng's words, Wu Ling'er used a dagger to cut and dry the warm pieces of meat, and said, "What your teacher said is right." Back then, when I was three years old, I would get up before dawn every day, run for an hour, practice martial arts for another hour, and then sit down in a wooden barrel with a hot potion to make a medicinal bath. ”

"Even if I was hot, crying, kicking and scratching, Master was not soft-hearted, viciously, and forced me to soak in the potion. I still remember the first medicated bath. At that time, I thought that Master was going to cook me and eat it, and I was so frightened that I shouted, 'Master don't eat me, don't eat me, I'm not going to be naughty anymore.'" Ha ha. It's funny to think about it. ”

Wu Ling'er said, stopped cutting meat, quietly raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears left in the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Zhou Ziheng slowly stopped chewing, swallowed the meat foam, and said softly: "When I go back to Beijing this time, there should be nothing very important, go back and see your wife." ”

Wu Ling'er nodded, tears still rolling in her eyes.

Cao Lian leaned over sensibly, pulled Wu Ling'er's arm and said, "Auntie, don't be sad. In the future, I will definitely listen to my aunt's words and cultivate hard. ”

Wu Ling'er had tears in her eyes and smiled, she rubbed the back of her clean hand lightly, Cao Lianyou's cheeks, "It's so good." Hurry up and eat it, don't let it get cold. ”

Cao Lianyou ate for a while, and felt that she couldn't eat it anymore. So she pinched the strips of meat, stuck her head out of the window and shouted, "Brother Xiaotian, run faster, I have meat here to eat." ”

When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he immediately rushed over and ran to the window to keep parallel to the car. Cao Lianyou stretched out her little hand holding the meat strips, and Wang Xiaotian was about to reach out to pick it up, but Cao Lianyou shook her head, "No, I want to feed you." ”

Wang Xiaotian was a little embarrassed, but seeing Cao Lianyou's cute little face, big sparkling eyes, and pouting pink lips, Wang Xiaotian's heart sprouted.

He strode after the car as he stuck his head out and tried to get closer to the window.

The car is speeding over bumpy roads, and it is constantly changing direction to avoid rocks, tree stumps and other debris.

It is not easy to get close to the car window while running and eat the meat strips in Cao Lianyou's hand.

Wang Xiaotian tilted his head sideways, stared at the road ahead with the corner of his eye, and flexibly adjusted his pace, Cao Lianyou also leaned out half of his body, stretched out his arms and fed him. With the efforts of the two, Wang Xiaotian finally ate the meat strips in Cao Lianyou's hand.

Cao Lianyou looked at Wang Xiaotian, happily eating the meat strips she fed, and her little face smiled like a flower.

She turned, grabbed another handful of strips of meat from her plate and handed them over. Wang Xiaotian continued to adjust his posture and leaned over, ready to eat meat.

However, Shen Shuming suddenly accelerated, leaving Wang Xiaotian far away.

Cao Lianyou immediately complained angrily, "Uncle Shen, what are you doing!"

Shen Shuming laughed and said: "He has already eaten a piece just now, and it is not so easy to eat it again, let him chase harder, when to catch up, when to eat." ”

Cao Lianyou's eyes for help looked at Zhou Ziheng, but seeing that he was indifferent, he immediately understood that Shen Shuming was in Zhou Ziheng's arms by doing this (Zhou Ziheng couldn't wait to toss Wang Xiaotian with tricks).

She stuck out her head and shouted, "Brother Xiaotian, hurry up and catch up." ”

When Wang Xiaotian heard Cao Lian's quiet voice like a yellow warbler, he was immediately in a happy mood. He yelled "I'm coming" and ran over.

In the silent mountain forest, Cao Lianyou's cheerful laughter sounded again.
