Chapter 42: The Unlucky Shi Zhongquan
Looking at the figure under the courtyard wall, without a piece of good flesh and drenched in blood, Hou Jiuming frowned.
"What's the situation?"
At first, when I heard the movement, I thought it was a thief, or someone who dared to come to take revenge.
But I didn't expect to go out and see that it was a seriously injured person.
"Wait...... Brother~" The figure who fell to the ground heard the movement, looked up with difficulty, and saw clearly by the moonlight that the person at the door was the person he was looking for.
"Huh?" The familiar voice immediately attracted Hou Jiuming's attention, and he hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see who it was.
"You are?" The person in front of him was full of dirt, and his hair was already knotted, not to mention by moonlight, even during the day, his mother could not see it.
"Stone ...... Zhongquan's weak voice made Hou Jiuming raise his eyebrows, "I'll go, brother, what's your situation, why are you half dead every time I see you,
What kind of sin did you create in your previous life to be so unlucky? ”
This is also too unlucky, the first time I saw this guy, it was when I was in the wild, it seemed that some disaster relief food was robbed, chased and killed, and I was injured.
If it hadn't been for him, he might have burped.
The second time, he was still chased and killed, and it is estimated that if he hadn't happened to encounter it, he would not have survived, after all, the injury had already suppurated a little.
This time it was good, and I went straight to the door.
Is this using him as a savior, or a shield?
Although he is a little unforgiving, no matter how he knows, Hou Jiuming is not good at seeing death and not saving him.
Enduring the unpleasant stench, he lifted his clothes and walked to the firewood room.
Don't even think about the guest room.
If you bring this in, will you still let people live in the future?
When I got to the firewood room, I got some water, first rinsed him, and then took out the external and internal injury medicine and applied it to him.
When it is busy, there are footsteps outside from time to time.
In addition to this, there is the sound of kicking the door, and arrogant rebukes.
He didn't need to look at it, he also knew that this was the person who was searching for Shi Zhongquan.
However, there is no need to worry that someone will dare to search for it.
Since the incident of the Iron Fist Gang, the forces in the city have explained to their subordinates, and they can't provoke him.
Since then, not to mention the people who come to collect protection money, even the heads of those big families have to be careful when they go to the Sihai Teahouse, for fear that one will accidentally provoke him.
So, even if there is a lot of noise outside, he is not worried that someone will break in and search.
After dealing with the injury, it may be that the medicine had an effect, Shi Zhongquan quickly sobered up, and when he saw Hou Jiuming in front of him, he immediately said gratefully.
"Brother Hou, save me in danger three times and twice, there is no way to repay the great kindness, if you get it useful, you will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire."
For Hou Jiuming, Shi Zhong is full of gratitude from the bottom of his heart, he has saved himself several times without saying anything, and he has not asked for anything in return, he is definitely a first-class good person in this world.
Therefore, after escaping this time, I thought of him for the first time.
"Okay, don't talk about this, take care of your injuries, those people won't search here!"
After saying that, he was ready to leave, after all, he could still cultivate for a long time after a long night.
"Wait......"
Seeing that Hou Jiuming was leaving, Shi Zhongquan hurriedly stopped him, he still had important things to ask for help for, and he couldn't delay.
"What's wrong? Anything else? Hou Jiuming turned to look at Shi Zhongquan and asked.
"Brother Hou, there is indeed something to trouble you!" Shi Zhongquan said solemnly.
"Since you know it's trouble, don't open your mouth!"
For Shi Zhongquan, Hou Jiuming has always been gracious and has never owed a penny, this time the other party came to the door rashly, and to be honest, he didn't like it.
After all, if it weren't for his deterrence, the people who searched tonight would definitely not let go of the Four Seas Teahouse.
If he was an ordinary person and then was searched, the result could be imagined.
In addition, Shi Zhongquan has the identity of a close court guard of the imperial court, and those people dare to chase and kill, so it is conceivable that there must be big trouble involved.
He is an immortal cultivator, a person who aspires to immortality, and he doesn't have enough time to cultivate, so he will make do with these things.
So, I simply refused.
Not only that, but after speaking, he just raised his feet and left, not wanting to entangle with Shi Zhongquan at all.
originally thought that with the relationship between the two, Hou Jiuming would not refuse, but he didn't expect that he would not even give him a chance to speak.
was so decisive that Shi Zhongquan stayed where he was, and it wasn't until Hou Jiuming was about to walk out of the firewood room door that he came to his senses and hurriedly said.
"Brother wait, wait, I have an important piece of news, a matter of life and death, please listen to me."
"It's a matter of life and death?" This sentence made Hou Jiuming's steps stop, and he became interested in what he said was related to life and death.
So, he turned around and stood at the door and said, "Say, let me see what it is that can affect the life and death of someone Hou?" ”
"Brother Hou, the Qianyu Kingdom has made a detour into Shaoyue, and the first stop is Solid Stone City......
As Shi Zhongquan spoke, Hou Jiuming also knew why he said that it was a matter of life and death.
It turned out that the Qianyu Kingdom took the lead in attacking, bypassing the defenders of the Shaoyue Kingdom and rushing to attack the Solid Stone City.
Not only that, the city lord of Jianshi City has betrayed Shaoyue and taken refuge in the Qianyu Kingdom.
The first time Shi Zhongquan was hunted down, it was planned by the city lord of Jianshi City from beginning to end.
robbed the grain of the imperial court and sent it to the opposite Qianyu country, and then summoned the big family to gather food to help the victims.
Its purpose is to deplete the food of Jianshi City, so that the city will be in chaos, and when the time comes, the Qianyu Kingdom will come to accept the management.
After all, there is no longer enough to eat in the country of Shaoyue, does it matter which country you become?
Not only that, but the city lord also secretly co-opted the Eight Treasure Gang, a big gang in Solid Stone City, to cause trouble among the victims.
Some time ago, the reason why the victims outside the city were so chaotic was that they made a lot of efforts in it.
After hearing this, Hou Jiuming fell into deep thought.
"It seems that this is a place that can't stay for a long time, and the time for the Wang family to open is almost up, so I just went over there to have a look.
However, the Imperial Dynasty of the Shaking Yue Kingdom is supported by the Wang family, and the opposite Qianyu Kingdom is coming, will the immortal cultivators behind the two countries also have to fight
If that's the case, then the market can't be opened? ”
In fact, the war in the mortal world doesn't matter to him, after all, the martial arts have reached the innate level, and the mana is in the middle stage of Qi training, this kind of strength, for mortals, is definitely the strength of the ceiling.
Even if you face ten thousand armies, you can calmly retreat.
The reason why he is leaving is because the war will cause chaos in the world.
At that time, if you want to cultivate in the mortal world, it is a bit inappropriate.
Because, life can't go on, who will go into the mountains to collect medicine.
I stayed here just to collect these things, and now that I don't have them, why do I stay here?
Waiting to copy the occasional passing immortal cultivator?
Isn't that more than that?
"So, should you leave directly and go to Wangjiafang City, or will you wait and see if there will be immortal cultivators in the battle between Shaoyue and Qianyu?"
