Volume 7 673 Out of the City (Ask for Subscription)
Since the morning, the guest house has become a forbidden place for servants, and Steward Qi strictly forbids anyone to go there. However, he was a smart man, and he didn't dare to spread the news that Zhang Weidong had killed the foundation building monk of the City Lord's Mansion.
It's not that he didn't want to pass it on, but when he thought that this was Chongjianghe's other courtyard, Zhang Weidong was Chongjianghe's person, and this time the situation was special, and the big turtle was breaking through, so that person's behavior was unreasonable. If this is said out, maybe Zhang Weidong has nothing to do, but he himself will be angry, and he has to be cautious. Because offending a foundation-building monk is equivalent to cutting off the way of life for a subordinate like himself, and it may also affect his family.
So, after telling all the servants and maids, Steward Qi hurried back to his residence and did not leave the other courtyard.
It is a clean, tidy and large yard for a family of five: Mrs. and three children, whose parents have long since passed away.
At this time, Mrs. Qi is also there, she looks like a half-old, and Feng Yun is still a monk, but her cultivation is also not high, and she only has the appearance of the fourth layer of Qi training. She was picking some flower petals in the huge garden in the company of her maid.
These petals are used to make tea, and they can also be used to make wine, but it is not easy to make tea, and some precious medicinal materials are needed, which are not affordable for ordinary monks.
However, if these specially cultivated petals are sold, it will be considered a lot of income, because the land in Qingzhou City is very expensive, and every inch of land is expensive, and it is really difficult to find a piece of land to grow medicinal herbs.
The land area in the annex is not small, and the vitality is extremely strong, so the temporary owner is not needed anyway. It's cheaper to be a housekeeper. Every year, in this garden, in the medicine garden. can provide him with an additional income of more than 200,000 crystal coins, which is not a small number.
Steward Qi entered the courtyard. He sat on a stool in the courtyard, picked up the hot tea on the table and poured a few cups of belly, trying to calm himself down.
The situation just now was too dangerous, his legs were weak until now, and he was still a little nervous in his heart, I don't know if Zhang Weidong would kill himself.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Steward Qi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after sitting for a while, he couldn't bear it. Walking around the yard.
Unconsciously, Steward Qi's forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and the breeze was blowing, and it was cold.
"Going to tell the truth?"
"No, no! If you go to report it, you won't be able to get out of this courtyard, and you will probably be killed!"
"Even if you denounce it, what's the benefit of yourself?"
"No, that's a big bad thing, and maybe the grown-ups will be angry with themselves. Don't say you can't get any benefits, it's good to be able to save your life!"
Steward Qi deeply understands the indifference and ruthlessness of the big people in the City Lord's Mansion, and a small person like him is a big ant in their eyes, and he still belongs to the ants. It is because he has the identity of the housekeeper of this annex. to make them feel a little useful. This time, a monk of the foundation had died in the courtyard, and he could no longer escape his involvement. If you go to report this news again, you can't figure out that the big man behind it is angry. If you kill yourself casually, you will be wronged.
This is woe. Not a blessing!
"If you don't tell it, what should you do?"
"Pretending not to know?"
"Yes, that's it! Anyway, I can't get involved in the affairs between the big guys, even if they ask, they say that they will take it to the door of the guest house and leave, and they don't know anything else, and everything else is only left to fate!"
The more Steward Qi thought about it, the more he felt that he should do this, and maybe he could avoid this catastrophe.
However, for the sake of insurance, the wife and her two sons and one daughter had to go back to the old house for the time being. has been a housekeeper in other courtyards for decades, and there are several sets of houses in Qingzhou City, which can be regarded as three caves of cunning rabbits. Steward Qi is also taking precautions.
"Husband, what are you thinking, so distracted?" I don't know when, I smelled a woman's fragrance on the end of my nose, and Steward Qi turned his head to see that Mrs. had arrived and was looking at him with concern.
The maid is gone, it is estimated that she is carrying the petals to clean up, and only the old husband and wife are left in this yard.
"Madam, where are the children?" Steward Qi asked before he set up a soundproof barrier.
"Husband, what's wrong with you, why are you a little flustered?"
"Don't ask so much, where are the children, you immediately pack up simple things, go to the house outside for a while, and let the children not come back!"
"Husband, what the hell is going on? They're all outside—"
"Don't ask, nothing big happened, just in case!"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Calm down, just in case, maybe it's okay! You go and pack up your things immediately, keep a low profile, find the children, let them not come out during this time, and cultivate in the house outside, and after a while, I will arrange for you to come back!"
"Husband, why don't you come with us?"
"I'm the housekeeper here, how can I go?"
Steward Qi knows that he can't go. Once he left, the incident happened, and he just didn't participate, and he became afraid of crime and absconded. Besides, this position of steward, which he obtained with great difficulty, cannot be given up so easily.
Wouldn't it be too unjust if you were safe and sound after the incident?
After some persuasion and admonition, Mrs. Qi finally packed up her things, didn't even bring the maid, and left the courtyard in a low-key manner.
Steward Qi was relieved to see that he was the only one in the courtyard.
However, until the afternoon, evening, and evening, Zhang Weidong did not attack him. That night, he was very anxious, until late, and after his mind was exhausted, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already early the next morning, but I was woken up by a henchman who hurriedly broke into the courtyard: "Chief, chief, the lord of the City Lord's Mansion is here, you hurry up!"
In the room, Steward Qi was annoyed and disturbed at first, but when he heard that the people from the City Lord's Mansion were coming, his face suddenly changed, he turned over, and shouted calmly: "Zhilu Dao, you go to entertain the next adult, I will be there immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
When the footsteps in the courtyard disappeared, Steward Qi hurriedly got out of bed and soaked his face in cold water first. Stay awake.
"Don't worry, the family is gone anyway. Just pretend you don't know what to do!"
Facing the bronze mirror, he puffed himself up. Steward Qi regained his composure and walked out of the courtyard.
The people from the City Lord's Mansion are none other than Fu Hongxue and Mei Ji, two ruthless characters.
The two of them received a report from the people below yesterday, saying that Zhang Weidong's demon pet was being promoted, and it had been several days. Fu Hongxue thought about it for a while, and immediately reported to Hong Boran.
Hong Boran hated Zhang Weidong to the core, and when he heard this, he was immediately happy. I want to give Zhang Weidong some trouble.
Considering the impact, he can't attack Zhang Weidong in Qingzhou City, but he might as well find some trouble, this is an opportunity. So, he sent a monk on the second floor of the foundation to make trouble, trying to sabotage the promotion of the big turtle. But they didn't expect that the monk not only couldn't stop the big turtle from advancing to the next level, but before he could say a few words, he was decisively killed by Zhang Weidong in a face.
Zhang Weidong's methods are fierce and his heart is decisive. None of them expected it.
It was only one night later, Fu Hongxue couldn't wait for the news of his subordinates for a long time, and he couldn't contact him back, so he was in a hurry. Hurry to the door to confirm.
Steward Qi was prepared, and hurried to the reception hall, as soon as he saw Fu Hongxue and Mei Ji. Under the other party's questioning, he reported half-truths and fears. Leave yourself out of the way, and blame other things that you don't know. Then wait for disposal.
"So, that Zhang Weidong is still in the guest house, take us there!" Fu Hongxue stared at Steward Qi coldly, and said unexpectedly.
Steward Qi behaved very badly, drenched in cold sweat, and couldn't straighten his waist, so he immediately responded: "The little one will lead the way immediately, two adults, please-"
Steward Qi trotted, bent over to lead the way.
Fu Hongxue and Mei Ji followed, murderous.
But before he arrived at the guest house, Steward Qi ran into a servant passing by in front of the guest house, it was a miscellaneous servant who was serving the green beast.
"Steward—" The handyman looked like a Qi steward, and two people who were dressed in extraordinary clothes bowed to the side and got out of the way.
"Li Xing, why are you here?" Steward Qi frowned and asked. He had warned the crowd not to come near here.
Li Xing immediately replied: "Chief, Senior Zhang needs his green beast, so I brought it over just now-"
"Senior Zhang?" Steward Qi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked. "Where is Senior Zhang now?"
He came to find Zhang Weidong.
Zhang Weidong needs the Green Beast, what's going on?
"Back to the manager, Senior Zhang and Senior Zhao just left the courtyard for a while-"
"What, you're gone? Didn't you say where to go?"
"Looks like you're hunting monsters, right?"
Steward Qi was anxious on his face, but his heart was wide, and he waved his hand to send Li Xing away, but he faced Fu Hongxue and Mei Ji with a bitter face: "Two adults-"
At this time, the two of them had already turned black into the bottom of the pot.
Li Xing's report was naturally heard by them. Zhang Weidong is no longer in the other courtyard, so Zhao's predecessor should be Zhao Lin, and he is not here.
"Are you really gone, hmph, I'll see where they're hiding!" Fu Hongxue sneered, and his divine sense unscrupulously covered the guest house.
Under his divine sense, he found Chen Yu and Cao Ping, but there were no Zhang Weidong and Zhao Lin. Obviously, they really could be out of trouble.
"It's really not there!" Fu Hongxue said gloomily, turning around and staring coldly at Steward Qi.
"Brother Fu, now that kid is out of the city, it's our chance, and now we have to report to Master Hong!" At this time, Mei Ji reminded.
"Humph!"
Syllable!
Fu Hongxue slapped out, and the palm print formed by the true qi flew a few meters away, rolled down into the flowers, and then left without looking back.
Mei Ji followed.
"Phew-" Steward Qi stood up from the flowers with a pale face and spit out a few teeth. He was hurt, but he was relieved.
This catastrophe has passed, and the wound on the face is nothing in comparison.
At the same time, outside the city, although Zhang Weidong didn't know what was happening here in Ludao, he could guess it. If you kill one person yourself, the other party will definitely not give up.
At the moment, though, he wasn't worried about that.
He and Zhao Lin had gone out of the East Gate early in the morning, and they were already dozens of miles away from the East Gate.
The two green beasts were parallel and not fast, and they could see groups of monks fighting demon beasts along the way. On a lot of the ground, there are some messy traces, or the useless internal organs and body fluids of demon beasts. Or some dried up human monk's bloodstains, puddles of scorched black, scorched black marks. It is the mark left by the body of the monk after it was burned.
In this endless desert, at least a thousand monks die every day. Among them, there are Qi cultivators and foundation building monks. Even, Zhang Weidong was at the east gate and heard that a monk with an eighth layer of foundation had died a few days ago under the attack of a quasi-demon king-level demon beast, which was estimated to be the highest monk who had died so far.
You must know that in Qingzhou City, there are less than forty monks on the eighth floor of the foundation, and the death of one will cause heavy losses to the monks of the human camp.
This news surprised Zhang Weidong very much.
Because of the place where the quasi-demon king appeared. It is less than a thousand miles away from Qingzhou City.
"Senior brother, your green beast is not bad, no wonder you are reluctant to give up!" On a more handsome green beast, Zhao Lin still had the heart to make fun of Zhang Weidong. "I want to buy one too, but it's hard to find!"
Her green beast was rented, which was relatively ordinary. But she saw that Zhang Weidong's horse was much taller, and its foot strength was even more extraordinary, far surpassing the ordinary green beast. This gas has traveled dozens of miles. His own horse was already slightly panting, but Zhang Weidong's horse was very relaxed.
Zhang Weidong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
The heart said that as long as anyone fed more 'Beast Yuan Dan' to the Green Beast, it would be considered an old Green Beast. You will also be handsome. However, this cannot be said.
If he said it, it is estimated that someone would immediately say that he was a loser.
"Senior brother. What do you mean by laughing?" Zhao Lin's eyes were sharp and he frowned.
"Ahem. Senior sister, don't get me wrong, it's hard to say. Otherwise, you'll call me extravagant and a loser—"
"Why can't you say it?"
"Senior sister, do you have a 'Beast Yuan Dan'?"
"Beast Yuan Dan? is the pill that stimulates the bloodline of demon beasts? Ah, junior brother, you don't mean that you fed it Beast Yuan Dan, right?"
"That's exactly what it is!"
"Luxury, loser!"
"Look, I know that I can't say this, and when I say it, I can only be treated as a joke—"
Zhao Lin's face turned red, a little embarrassed.
However, she was also tongue-in-cheek and speechless. One Beast Yuan Pill is enough to buy ten Green Beasts.
It is estimated that a freak like Zhang Weidong doesn't care about any pills.
She is not an alchemist, so naturally she doesn't have so many pills to waste, so she simply doesn't ask about the cultivation of the green beast.
"Senior sister, do you really want a better green beast?" Zhang Weidong asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Zhao Lin said decisively, hiding her blush. "Who knows how long we will be in Qingzhou, it is necessary to have a better green beast to travel!"
"That's simple, this wish can be fulfilled by junior brother, there are no others, but there are still some Beast Yuan Dan!" Zhang Weidong took out a jade bottle, which contained ten Beast Yuan Dan, and threw it towards Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin hurriedly caught it, and was stunned when he heard this, a little moved, and even a little hesitant: "Take the pill to feed the green beast?" Senior brother, will it be too wasteful?"
"Senior sister, don't feel sorry for the pill, this kind of pill, as long as there are medicinal materials, how many or as many as you want! For others, the pill is precious, but for me, as long as there are medicinal materials, there will be endless pills!"
“——”
Zhao Lin was speechless again.
Zhao Lin has a little understanding of Zhang Weidong's confidence in alchemy.
Two months ago, when everyone went out of the city for the first time, Zhang Weidong took out a large amount of pills as a gift, which was very valuable. She always felt that Zhang Weidong was very mysterious, and his body was shrouded in layers of veils. As she learns more about Zhang Weidong, she can be surprised from time to time, but looking back, Zhang Weidong's mystery is still the same, and there are many hole cards.
Zhang Weidong's origin, she doesn't know.
What kind of cultivation Zhang Weidong is, she is not sure.
What kind of person Zhang Weidong is, she still has no qualitative character, but she has a general grasp.
After the last, Zhang Weidong has many hole cards, and she doesn't know how to do it.
"Okay, then thank you junior brother!" Zhao Lin groaned, didn't pretend anymore, and put away the pill.
"Ha Luha, senior sister doesn't have to be polite, it's just a little pill—" Zhang Weidong said indifferently.
Zhao Lin frowned and reminded: "Senior brother, although your level in alchemy is not low, however, you can't rely too much on pills in your usual cultivation, otherwise it will be difficult to break through in the future! For example, this time, you use pills to break through to the fourth layer of foundation building, which is already too much, and it is not conducive to breakthroughs in the future!"
"Cough, what Senior Sister said is right, I'll pay attention!" Seeing Zhao Lin's serious face, Zhang Weidong had no choice but to put away his arrogant attitude.
"Oh, by the way, junior brother, I don't know what the origin of the monk on the second floor of the foundation of Lu Dao is, and he actually dares to break into the other courtyard!"
"Didn't Senior Sister guess?"
"You said before that it might be from the City Lord's Mansion, but the strength of the City Lord's Mansion must be complicated, I don't know which one Lu Dao is, Hong Boran, Chen Jin, or the senior sister and brother you said?"
"Senior sister, don't worry, in fact, it's the same for whoever comes-"
"Senior brother, you can't be careless! Although there was nothing wrong last night, this is already outside the city, so there is no guarantee that they have already targeted us!"
Not guaranteed?
I've been eyeing it for a long time!
Zhang Weidong said in his heart.
From the time he left the courtyard, all the way to the east gate, and then here, he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at them behind him. This feeling is very clear, and Zhang Weidong feels that it will not be wrong. Since he had the Innate Dao Fruit, his ability in premonition had been greatly enhanced, which was not comparable to ordinary people.
Along the way, Zhang Weidong and Zhao Lin chatted all the way, all the way easily, until they were hundreds of miles away.
While they were here, they were about to separate, so they stopped.
Their strength is not bad, and most of the time they have to practice alone, which can have the effect of training. And at this distance of 100 miles, it is suitable for them to match alone.
Zhao Lin had already been here twice and was familiar with this place, so he told Zhang Weidong a few words, telling him not to go too far, within one hundred and fifty miles, there were already demon beasts at the intermediate level, and even the third level, which was not easy to deal with.
"In addition, demon beasts are on the one hand, human monks are on the other, those people may really be eyeing you, be more careful!
"Senior sister, don't worry, I know the importance of the way!"
"That's good, take care!"
"Senior sister, be careful!"
Zhao Lin nodded, drove the green beast, and galloped away.
Zhang Weidong watched Zhao Lin leave, until the figure could no longer be seen, and then went in another direction.
After he had gone for a while, the two horses arrived here at a rapid pace.
"The target just left, this direction!"
"Keep up!"
The direction that these two horsemen tracked was the direction in which Zhang Weidong left.
PS: Tiandao is thinking about the next plot, and I can't speed it up for the time being, I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
