Xu Chong accompanied Li Xiangxue all afternoon.

It was not until Lao Li's dried corpse was collected into the coffin that he returned to Li's house with Tong'er.

"He'll sleep until tomorrow morning, don't worry."

Xu Chong handed over the child to the woman.

"I'm tired of my lordship."

The woman took the child and saluted.

At this time, her eyes were still red and swollen, but she didn't cry anymore.

From her body, Xu Chong could see a stubborn force like a weed.

"Hmm."

Xu Chong glanced at Zhao Liu, who was waiting outside the house, "I'll go back first, it's still the same sentence, if you need anything, let someone come to the yamen to spread a word." ”

Without further words, Xu Chong turned to the outhouse and nodded to Zhao Liu.

When she was going out, the woman had already carried the child to the bed, chased her out, and shouted, "My lord." ”

"What's wrong?"

Xu Chong turned around.

"Please... Please don't feel guilty. ”

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Although I am only a woman, I understand that this matter has nothing to do with adults. ”

"What did Lao Li tell you?"

Xu Chong frowned.

Some things can be guessed, and they can't be spread everywhere.

It will be dead.

"Why do you need him to tell me?"

The woman showed a sad smile, "Life is obviously good, but those red clothes have an accident as soon as they come, how can it be such a coincidence?" ”

Xu Chongran was silent.

Oh, yes.

The Bloody Guards came twice.

For the first time, Lao Li lost half his life.

The second time, the remaining half was gone.

Such an obvious fact, others can't see through it, how can Lao Li's mother-in-law not see through it.

"In addition, yesterday I had the idea of going out of the city, so I went to inquire without Lao Li...... only to find out that the city was closed again. ”

The woman shook her head, tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, "My lord, I don't understand, why do they have to get along with us ordinary people when they are so high?" ”

Because you are ordinary people.

Xu Chong replied in his heart and turned to leave.

Zhao Liu didn't say a word, and followed behind.

On the way, Zhao Liu suddenly spoke: "My lord, this is not the direction of the yamen. ”

"You go by yourself."

Xu Chong's footsteps didn't stop, "I want to go back to Xu's mansion." ”

……

……

Hsu Mansion.

The innocent Taoist looked like the housekeeper Lao Li and led Xu Chong all the way to the study.

When the door was closed, he sat down on the throne.

"But what did you find?"

The Innocent Daozi looked at Xu Chong expectantly.

"Yes, I actually found out a few days ago, but I haven't formed a clue."

Xu Chong replied, "I don't think we can delay any longer." ”

"Say!"

The spirit of the innocent Taoist was greatly invigorated.

"In recent months, a person has been dying in the city every day for no reason, and the death is so horrific that it is like being made into a dried corpse."

Xu Chong frowned and said slowly, "But the strange thing is that these people are not concentrated in one place, but scattered all over the city, and the only thing that can be determined is that these dead are all old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

"Uh...... This one. ”

Innocent Daozi's eyes showed disappointment, "It seems that Fu Yuanlong doesn't really treat you as his own." ”

"What do you mean?"

Xu Chong asked puzzled.

"Do you remember what I said about the blood of the mother and the child?"

Innocent Daozi smiled, "What do you think the word blood light means?" ”

"This ...... Did these dead people get them from the bronze mirror? ”

Xu Chong's face was shocked, revealing a trace of nervousness, "Is there a way to stop it without alarming Fu Yuanlong?" ”

"Stop?"

Innocent Daozi frowned, "What, you want to save those ordinary people?" ”

"Not really."

Xu Chong shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm worried that if I continue like this, one day it will be my turn." ”

"Is that so...... You can put a hundred hearts. ”

Innocent Daozi stretched his brows, and waved his hand indifferently, "The operation of the Zimu Blood Light Sect is also consumed, and the price is one life a day. ”

"Why are all the old and sick who die?"

"Of course, it's because these people's blood is the most unstable, and it's the easiest to pump."

"You don't have to worry about that."

"The martial artist opened the acupoint, and the strength and qi and blood were combined, and the mirror couldn't be pumped."

Although the news of the dried corpse did not have any effect, Xu Chongken's act of sending the news made the innocent Daozi feel a lot more at ease with him.

Now, the Innocent Daozi felt that Xu Chong was really ready to trade with him, so he didn't hesitate to say a few more words to make Xu Chong feel at ease.

"It's easy to stop it, just take off one of the faces, but ...... Fu Yuanlong will probably kill you. ”

The Innocent Daozi laughed and teased, "As a future business partner, I advise you not to do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself." ”

"Since it's okay for me, what should I do with it?"

Xu Chong breathed a big sigh of relief, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Fu Yuanlong didn't tell me this, it seems that he is on guard against me?" ”

"Who gave you a good reputation for jealousy?"

The Innocent Daozi smiled, "Hmm...... With that said, I've become the greatest good person you've ever been. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" ”

"One life a day, this is the price of operating Zijian to monitor the whole city, and the real-time feedback of the operation mother is 100 times that of Zijian."

Innocent Daozi shook his head and shook his head, and his mouth was full of slurp: "If I show my whereabouts, Fu Yuanlong will definitely use his mother to grasp my movements in real time, so ...... Gee. ”

Xu Chong's heart sank.

Although he guessed that those dried corpses were caused by the blood light of Zimu, he didn't expect that this was only the consumption of Zijian.

If the book is running at the same time, doesn't that mean that at least one hundred and one lives must be filled in every day?

After a moment of silence, Xu Chong spoke again.

"What is that anomaly you're putting to my attention?"

Xu Chong frowned, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his tone, "Even if you give me a few general directions, it's better than having no purpose like now, right?" ”

"To be honest, I can't give me a direction on this."

Innocent Daozi shook his head helplessly, "Not only me, but also the imperial court, and the water ghost himself, don't know the clues of Chongbao." ”

"Water ghosts?"

Xu Chong's eyes narrowed, "Didn't he disappear?" ”

"I went out the other day and I've already contacted him."

The tone of the Innocent Daozi was a little disdainful, "With the blood of the son and mother, he doesn't dare to stay in the city." ”

"I see......"

Xu Chong nodded, and said quietly: "I was still thinking just now, is it possible that the water ghost has already obtained that heavy treasure and escaped by himself." ”

"Heh, even if he has the guts, he doesn't have this condition."

Innocent Daozi simply vetoed, "Once he loses contact completely, the upper authorities will immediately know that he can't run far." ”

"Don't talk about him."

Xu Chong waved his hand, "Now what I'm worried about is, what if I can't find the heavy treasure all the time?" ”

"You should know that Fu Yuanlong came to Canglong just to hold this time, what should I do when this period of time is over, and the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive?"

Xu Chong always felt that the Innocent Daozi had been too calm from beginning to end, and he was not very anxious about Chongbao at all.

"If someone comes to the imperial court, can't Taiping Dao come to someone?"

Hearing this, the Innocent Daozi asked rhetorically, and said lightly: "Let me tell you the truth, Fu Yuanlong and I are here for the same purpose, as long as we guard against each other, we don't have much hope for Chongbao." ”

"You think so, but Fu Yuanlong probably doesn't think so."

Xu Chong said as if intentionally or unintentionally, "You don't know yet, Fu Yuanlong disappeared for half a month, no one took him with him, and no one knew where he went, and he didn't appear until the day before yesterday." ”

"Disappear?"

Innocent Daozi raised his eyebrows, a little playful: "It's normal, after all, it's a treasure of that level, if you have the chance...... Who wouldn't want to keep it to themselves? ”

"So as you say...... It's likely that I didn't have to do anything and just picked up an opportunity to trade with you? ”

Xu Chong smiled and pushed the door away.

He's got a few of the most critical pieces of information, enough to make a plan.
