Chapter 24 Solving the Epidemic
Wu Liangzi, who was holding Jiuhan tightly, who had lost consciousness, and his hands were constantly applying healing techniques to his body, was almost exhausted. Such Wu Liangzi naturally didn't have the strength to deal with the Tailed Fire Beast King who was getting closer and closer.
The Tailed Fire Beast King slowly walked towards the two ants in front of him, in his opinion, killing these two humans was a harmless thing, when would the ants have a chance to be on an equal footing with the elephants?
Without any hesitation, the Tailed Fire Beast King's slap slapped at Wu Liangzi and Jiu Ban. Watching the huge beast claws descend with a bang, Wu Liangzi finally understood the huge gap between himself and the great existence of "nature" between the last few breaths of his life.
It turns out that after all, destiny is hard to disobey.
Wu Liangzi closed her eyes tightly and waited for death to come, but she waited and waited but never waited for the claw of the beast to be patted. Full of horror and curiosity, Wu Liangzi opened his eyes, and then as if he had been frightened, his eyes widened and widened, and he almost didn't dare to close them. At this moment, Wu Liangzi couldn't believe his eyes: the Tailed Fire Beast King, who was fierce and abnormal a moment ago, was now lying on the ground with a well-behaved face, and a man in a white robe was now standing on its head. The man looked at him with a gentle face, and Wu Liangzi was almost about to fall into those peach blossom eyes.
The later memories were a little vague for Wu Liangzi, it seemed that the man said something to himself, and then he healed himself and Jiuhan's injuries, and let himself leave safely with a sufficient amount of jade inkstone.
In the next few days, with the help of Sanqian and others, Wu Liangzi took Jiuhan to concoct a large number of antidotes, which were distributed by the villagers to the families and patients suffering from the epidemic in Yubei City one by one. During this process, they constantly told everyone not to eat fish in the near future until the epidemic is over.
In fact, until the antidote was distributed, Wu Liangzi was always puzzled, how did such a large batch of Shiyu enter the water source system of Yubei City? Could it be that someone did it on purpose? Then it shouldn't be, unless it is the top warlock of a country, who has such a superb means to control such a large number of Shiyu to assassinate the heart of a country?
You must know that in Wu Liangzi's estimate, there are probably tens of thousands of Shiyu.
In the process of making and distributing the antidote, Jiuhan's mood was both embarrassed and anxious, and his mood was very entangled.
The embarrassing part is that three money. That's right, Sanqian is the Grave Weeper, and the first of the eight people he wants to kill. But in fact, whether it is as a person who borrows heaven or the prince of a destroyed country, he cannot kill a person who does good.
And the anxiety lies in the fact that the overlord has not summoned them yet.
If they had done their part, and had not been summoned by the king of the overlord, and the people who had saved almost a city could not be summoned, Nine and a Half would almost have despaired.
Is it impossible to return to the country and ask for help?
Complex emotions are intertwined in his heart, and Jiu Ban sits on a tree stump on the side of the road with his head bowed, and his heart is mixed.
"The Prince...... My lord?"
Just when Jiu Ban lowered his head and pondered his self-entanglement, I don't know when Sanqian had already walked to Jiu Ban's side and spoke. As soon as this sentence "Prince" came out, it directly scared Jiuban and jumped up.
Someone in the country of hegemony knows me? And it's this three coins that I was almost destined to kill?
"You know me?" Nine-and-a-half's eyes widened in some confusion.
Sanqian breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Originally, I didn't know you, Nine-and-a-half Lord. But an uncle who lives with me for the time being, and who was a citizen of the country of the Burden, told me earlier today that you are a kind-hearted man. β
Are the citizens of my country already in exile in the country of hegemony? Looking at the courtyard of three coins in the distance, my heart was full of mixed feelings. Next to his ears was the voice of three coins, and Jiuhan's heart gradually changed.
What he really didn't know was that he needed to know himself from other people's mouths.
It turned out that he was also a strong martial artist and a benevolent person. It was not an accident that he sacrificed his life to save Qiao He, before that, he had saved many people's lives intentionally or unintentionally.
It's a pity that he couldn't save the freedom of millions of people in the country of the minus.
The territory of the country of the negative is not guarded by him.
Sanqian was still talking about something, Jiuhan's ears moved, and then he looked up and looked north. Gradually, the rustling of the wind changed, and the sound of horses' hooves crept into her ears from far and near. In my sight, a trace of dust also appeared from the small to the earth.
Not really, but a small group of cavalry came from Yubei City in the north and broke into the sight of Jiuban.
On the side, Wu Liangzi also stood up from the resting state, tidied up his clothes, and waited quietly.
So, is it the messenger of the Lord of the Overlords who has come?
A team of nine horsemen came and stopped in front of Wu Liangzi. The most central person dismounted, walked in front of Wu Liangzi, hugged his fists and said: "The immortal master is reasonable, my lord has an invitation, and I hope that the immortal master will make it convenient." β
Wu Liangzi returned the courtesy, and called Shang Jiu and a half to leave.
Before getting on the horse, Wu Liangzi walked to Sanqian and said something to him alone, Sanqian looked solemn and nodded yes again and again.
All the way north, the closer to Yubei City, the more panic and tension in Jiuhan's heart became.
And they all know that the person they are about to meet is the master of the country of hegemony.
Nothing to say all the way.
In the huge hall made of black rock, there is no light. After a candle flame, the man whose face could not be seen clearly sat there silently, not saying a word.
A voice suddenly echoed through the hall, indistinguishable from male and female, and erratic.
"The solution to the scourge of Shiyu was really done by that Shaohong's apprentice?"
"I don't know. β
"Then why did you summon her? with some little bastard by her side. β
"Always see. β
"You old thing, why do you talk so .......?"
"Mind Yourself......"
The man didn't open his eyes the whole time, and the last sigh was extremely heavy.
The voices of men and women did not respond, as if they had just disappeared, silently blending into the darkness and disappearing.
Entering through the gate of the imperial city where he had been rejected last time, surrounded by the surprised expressions of the guards all the way, Nine and a Half approached the huge imperial palace step by step.
The Imperial City is a completely different scene from the market, and it is a great country compared to the negative city. The sergeant is solemn, with ten steps and one post. On the corridor of hundreds of meters, the state of dozens of sergeants waiting for each other made the pressure of Jiuhan great.
was about to walk to the huge palace, and Jiu Ban was thinking about what he should say when he saw the lord of the overlord, and why did Wu Liangzi have a serious expression at this time?
He couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a sound that seemed to come into his head was like nothing. The sound was ethereal, like a bad radio signal transmission, intermittent.
Lin ..... I've been ..... lately You don't want to ..... Don't forget to ....."
Lin, Lin, what, is that calling me?
With the appearance of the voice, there seemed to be an illusion in front of Nine Half's eyes, and the fragmented scene seemed to directly pull him into a virtual, space where he had never existed.
No, it wasn't so much an illusion as it was that he stepped into another strange time and space in the next moment, but he continued to move forward as if he were unconscious. After traveling through an unknown space filled with turbulent space-time turbulence, Nine and a Half entered a world that he could not imagine.
At the center of the world was a huge blue-black monster burning with raging flames, the monster seemed to be lifeless, and its body had been burned clean by the flames, leaving only black blood and a cyan skeleton to remain, as if to prove its existence.
Far from it, beyond this space is the green mountains and green waters, and the green world envelops this piece of death.
It seems that in the middle of this green, death is nothing.
"Here...... I think I've been here?"
Nine and a half fell into deep thought, this place was too familiar.
It just didn't have time for him to think about it, and a gentle voice pulled him back to reality.
"Is this Chenyun's child? β
In an instant, the illusion faded away, and everything returned to normal. Jiu Ban found that he had actually entered the black hall, and a smiling man was looking at him in front of him, presumably the voice just now was made by him.
Presumably, this is the main hall of the palace of the country of hegemony, the "Hall of Light", and the one in front of you is the monarch of the country of hegemony.
Hearing the Lord of the Overlord speak, Jiu Ban hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Hui Your Majesty, it is the person who died in the country, Jiu Ban." The nine and a half who reacted replied while secretly observing the surrounding environment. Sure enough, there is a huge difference between the country that doesn't like Bunraku and the country that "doesn't leave the road behind". The people under the hegemony are all good at civil construction and excavation, and they are strong and able to carry them, and even the guards in this temple of light are all nine feet tall and extremely brave. As a person who has lost his country, Jiuhan stood in the midst of such a group of guards, and the pressure increased.
It's just that why did Wu Liangzi, who was standing on the side, seem to be secretly sealing with his hands?
The Lord of the Overlord didn't seem to notice this, and just asked softly: "I don't know how the virtuous nephew met the disciple of Shaohong Immortal Master?" Speaking of which, the epidemic in Yubei City was able to be solved this time, thanks to Wu Xiaoxian Master." Master Wu Xiaoxian, you are my benefactor of Yubei City, as long as you are in need, as long as the widow has it, you can take it away. β
Hearing this, Wu Liangzi, who had been lowering his eyes, raised his eyes, looked at the lord of the overlord, and said: "The benefactor doesn't dare to be a benefactor, it is the duty of me and other warlocks to help the world and save people, and it is also what the master has always taught me." β
As soon as Wu Liangzi finished speaking, Jiu Ban also seemed to have something to say. But just as he was about to speak, he found that he seemed to have lost his voice and could not speak.
What's the situation?
Jiu Ban wanted to continue to ask something, but Wu Liangzi here spoke again: "Actually, the juniors still have something to ask. β
"Speak. β
"I don't know if you have any thoughts or opinions on the Nine Kingdoms, or the Eight Kingdoms War, which may appear soon?"
The Lord of Overlords paused visibly, and then said, "Nine...... Where do you start?"
"The Negative Nation has been wiped out by the Eye, and some of the other Seven are currently preparing to make a move. The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, does the country of hegemony want to be a reef in the stormy waves?"
After hearing these words, the Lord of the Overlord fell into deep thought. Some of the people present didn't react, and some people gasped: Could it be that this little national teacher already knows something?
Could it be that today he has come to ask the teacher about sin?
Time passed second by second, and Nine and a Half had already realized that something was wrong. From the moment she was about to enter the Imperial City, Wu Liangzi's expression had always been as if she was facing a great enemy, and now, she had almost begun to question the monarch of the overlord.
What does this woman want to do?
Just when the slightest sweat appeared on Jiuhan's forehead, and when he was about to collapse when he was once again controlled by Wu Liangzi, the monarch of the overlord spoke: "Widow, for the time being, I don't believe that the so-called national war in your mouth will appear; β
"So your choice is, self-preservation?"
"The widow is the king of a country! the king of millions of people!" the voice of the overlord of the kingdom brought a wrath at this moment.
Sensing the king's wrath, the guards in the entire hall began to tense their muscles and prepare for battle. The sound of a few iron tools grinding against each other reached Nine-and-a-half's ears, which made him even more anxious.
It's just that in the face of the lord who seems to be angry and the unsafe situation he is about to face, Wu Liangzi still has a calm face, and even says that it is cold.
"Self-preservation is true, but is this the reason why you violated the covenant with the country of the Imprisoned Ox and colluded with the mocking wind to prepare for a big war?" Wu Liangzi not only had a cold face, but also a voice like a thousand-foot ice cave, which was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, the lord of the overlord seemed to be panicking, and he hurriedly said: "Are you talking nonsense......" But before he could finish speaking, Wu Liangzi's lowered eyes suddenly rose, and in an instant, he met the slightly panicked eyes of the lord of the overlord. Two beams of silver light directly entered the eyes of the lord of the overlord from Wu Liangzi's eyes, and the master of the kingdom of the overlord fell alive in the next second.
It seems to be, dead.
A few seconds of silence felt like hundreds of years had passed to the ninety-and-a-half senses. At one moment, he felt that he should be able to move and speak, but the next second an angry roar appeared in his ears: "Assassin! Arrest the assassin!!"
In the next second, countless heavily armed guards were pouring towards him. There were at least seven nine-foot men in his vicinity, which meant that at least seven black iron spears were stabbing at him at the same time, and almost all the dead spots were blocked.
How could he, who had just recovered his strength, deal with seven spears at the same time, but just as this mortal situation was about to come, suddenly a huge force pulled him out of the entire encirclement and threw him straight out of the entire hall.
When Jiu Ban fell to the square, Wu Liangzi seemed to have been waiting for him there for a long time.
"How's it going, can you still run?"
A large number of black-armored guards poured in.
"Yes, yes, but you give me an explanation first!"
The Blackguard Legion is getting closer.
"Explain the fart, run!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Liangzi took the lead in running towards the gate of the imperial city with no conscience, but she was soon forced back.
Imperial City Guards, there are too many.
The black spears stabbed one after another, more and more, and it seemed that the cycle would never stop. And these black spears are not only irregular, but also seem to be tireless. Although with the help of Wu Liangzi's technique, Jiu Ban pulled out his long sword and barely parried it, but as time passed, Jiu Ban's own strength gradually became unable to parry.
"Wu Liangzi, what the hell is going on here!" split a black spear again, and this sentence was almost roared out by Jiu Ban.
"Don't worry, let's survive first. Wu Liangzi's voice was still so calm, but it seemed to be a little breathless.
The physical strength was lost minute by minute, and it seemed that a few seconds before the nine and a half physical strength was completely exhausted, a deer roar broke the chaos of the main space.
At this moment, Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi no longer knew how long they had been fighting in the center of the entire battlefield. Even in Jiuhan's heart, he has made a clear purpose: I can't seem to escape, so let's kill one more and count it as one.
But the cooperation of the black-armored guards is too rigorous, and the chaos is only a faΓ§ade. Under the rigorous cooperation, round after round of wheel battles continued to consume his physical strength, and in the end, nine and a half were only slightly injured by a few people.
And the appearance of Lushu saved them. In a dangerous situation where his physical strength was seriously exhausted and he was almost dying, Lu Shu broke into the battlefield, rescued the two, and fled the battlefield. The three steps are almost all in one go, as if they had been planned for a long time.
Or maybe the only thing that is different is that when Lu Shu broke into the middle of the battlefield, it seemed that everyone's movements stopped for three seconds.
And these three seconds, it seems that they came specifically to escape from Jiuhan and Wu Liangzi.
It was almost hanging on Lu Shu's back, and Jiuban, who was panting unevenly, opened his mouth breathlessly: "Wu ..... Wu Liangzi, ...... you?"
"I killed the monarch of the country, what's wrong?" Wu Liangzi's voice was as cold as an executioner.
"What should I do if you kill him? How can I find a subordinate to borrow troops? How can I restore the country?"
"Oh, so you mean, I'm going to risk the destruction of the Prison Ox to help you find a subordinate to borrow troops?"
"What did you say?"
"I mean, am I going to take the risk of my Ox Nation being annexed by the Tyrant and the Mocking Wind to help you recover the Lost Country?"
Wu Liangzi said this sentence word by word, and did not look at Jiu and a half.
