Chapter 90: Dream reappears, Yang Xiong's death
Poof!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground woke up the sleeping father and son.
"The worm continues to sleep, and Daddy goes out to have a look."
Xu You'an patted the little worm's chest soothingly, and got out of bed with a piece of clothing.
The little worm was dazed and about to fall asleep again, when a cold wind poured in through the open door.
"Hmm......"
The little insect tightened the quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy, so she looked at the door curiously.
Xu Youan squatted down as soon as he went out, and he didn't even bother to bring the door: "Why is it so badly injured?" ”
"Hey, hey."
The person outside the house gasped, "I slaughtered Xie Laosi." ”
“…… You're really not afraid of death, so you can't wait? ”
Xu Youan picked up the people on the ground angrily and funny and walked into the house.
"-Shhh Can't you just tap it? ”
The voice......
Kelpie?!
The familiar voice awakened Xu Chong's consciousness and occupied the body of the little insect.
"Dreaming again?"
Xu Chong looked around speechlessly.
Indeed, some inconspicuous corners of the room are directly blurred.
And Xu Youan, who had just walked in, was carrying a man dressed in a hat in his hand.
Who else could it be if it wasn't a water ghost?
"If you can speak, it proves that you can't die."
Xu Youan didn't care to put down the water ghost, propped up his upper body, and put one hand on his shoulder.
Wisps of golden light faintly shine from the place where the palms and shoulders meet.
If nothing else, it should be healing.
Xu Chong watched quietly, trying his best to capture the information contained in this dream.
After a while, the water ghost seemed to feel better, and let out a long breath, "I don't take revenge for killing my son, I am tormented every day, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
"I'm afraid the Xie family is going crazy."
Xu Youan said helplessly, "The six families of Taiping Dao are the most withered in the Xie family, and the eldest and second eldest have died in this generation, and now they are being troubled like this, and only the third child is left." ”
"Crazy is crazy, no one knows I did it anyway."
The water ghost said unconcernedly.
"Even if you know, I guess the Xie family won't kill you, but will directly arrest you to unblock it for the third time."
Xu Youan smiled evilly, "After all, such a good thug, they are reluctant to kill." ”
"Unblocking ......"
The water ghost's tone suddenly lowered, "What is the origin of the blood pool used to unseal?" Why do I always feel like human blood......"
"Not human blood."
Xu Youan shook his head, his tone a little disdainful, "But you can treat it as human blood." ”
"Well, I knew you weren't going to tell me......"
The water ghost's tone was a little depressed.
At this point, a violent sleepiness suddenly hits.
The sound of the two men talking became inaudible.
Xu Chong didn't struggle.
He knew that the original body had fallen asleep when he heard this, and this could not be changed at all.
Next.
Xu Chong woke up naturally, got out of bed and pushed open the north window, letting the cold wind blow in.
"Blood pool ......"
"Not human blood? But can it be regarded as human blood? ”
"What does that mean?"
Xu Chong pondered in the morning breeze.
He was not surprised by the reappearance of this memory.
Because after he was promoted to the general flag yesterday, he already had a lot of autonomy, and he was thinking about going to Taiping Road all night to unseal his noble status, and he was thinking about it day and night.
But now it seems......
This pool of blood isn't a good thing, is it?
Xu Chong remembered the disdain in the third master's tone, and quickly made a decision.
"Let's wait and see if we can find an opportunity to promote your status through righteous and bright meritorious service."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll talk about it."
Xu Chong turned around.
……
I thought that the days would be so calm.
But he didn't expect that only five days had passed, and the Bloody Guards, the Tun Military Station, and the government office had once again joined forces.
In this dispatch, Ge Wanshan also selectively ignored Xu Chong.
After another three days, the brigade returned with heavy losses!
Seventy-six lieutenants were killed in battle, one hundred and three were seriously wounded, and countless minor wounds were inflicted.
Xiaoqi was killed in the battle, seriously wounded forty-seven, and also suffered countless minor injuries.
And that's not all.
Zongqi also killed several in the battle, including Yang Xiong.
……
Bloody Martyrs' Shrine.
This is located on the fourth floor to the south of Senhosho, and is specially used to place the tablets of the war dead.
It occupies almost half of the space to the south, and the tablets are full.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was depressing, and everyone was silent, quietly looking at the tablets belonging to their friends.
Xu Chong also stood quietly, side by side with Kou Ruohai.
However, he didn't feel any sadness, only some emotion about 'life is not up to others'.
Only Yang Xiong died, which made him feel a little pity.
One less acquaintance.
"On the day of the arrest of Old Man Jiang, Yang Xiong was like a madman on the march, crying and laughing."
Kou Ruohai suddenly spoke, his tone was very calm, "It's either bragging, or scolding." ”
"Everyone shunned him like a plague god."
"Yang Xiong saw that no one paid attention to him, so he ran over and grabbed me."
"He said that he killed his wife and children, and he was a brute."
"It's not normal to say that the adults of a thousand households are not recruited, and not a single woman is recruited."
"said that if he had a man like you, he would definitely be more comfortable than you."
Later, he said that he regretted joining the Bloody Guard, and he knew that it was better to farm honestly.
Speaking of this, Kou Ruohai paused and said, "In the end, he said that he wanted to do one thing now, become a hundred households, and live on the fourth floor...... He said that his wife and children were old and young, and it was worth at least this price, otherwise it would be too much of a loss. ”
So that's it......
Xu Chong was thoughtful.
No wonder Yang Xiong extinguished his anger so easily when he was in Canglong.
No wonder the latter is so over-the-top against himself.
No wonder Ge Wanshan would have a sense of protection for him.
And no wonder...... As soon as Yang Xiong saw that there was a task, he ran and flew.
"I was impatient with him at the time, saying that if you want to live on the fourth floor, you just need to die in battle, and you don't have to become a hundred households."
Kou Ruohai's tone began to fall, "He took it seriously......"
"When the army confronted Old Man Jiang, I could see that as long as Lord Qianhu gave an order, he would be the first to rush forward, but fortunately, he couldn't fight later."
"I thought it would be nice to wait for him to get drunk."
"But I was wrong."
"This time he didn't drink, but he was the first to rush up......"
Kou Ruohai turned his head to look at Xu Chong, his expression was crying and laughing, but his eyes were slightly red: "You say, do I succeed in pitting him to death?" ”
Xu Chong was silent for a moment and said, "I can't understand it. ”
From beginning to end, Yang Xiong only showed a trace of self-abandonment when he was drinking.
It's usually normal, and even the ambition is a little more obvious than others.
Even if this ambition only comes from his wife and children, it will not reach the level of suicide.
"You probably don't know it yet."
Kou Ruohai continued, "His qualifications are very poor, very poor, not even much better than your father. ”
"His qualifications have reached the top as early as the fifth level of enlightenment, and the rest is broken through by external forces, and the connection to the pulse realm is also a full consumption of three treasure medicines......"
"Not only that, but I found the remaining treasure medicine in his room, and it fell a lot of dust, I think, maybe the treasure medicine can't help him continue to break through."
So...... Yang Xiong himself has no hope of being promoted to 100 households?
Xu Chong was stunned.
"Now, he's really living on the fourth floor......
Kou Ruohai shook his head and smiled, "I just don't know if this is a fulfillment." ”
"By the way, what kind of mission is this time?"
Xu Chong frowned, "With Lord Fujun and Lord Qianhu here, how could there be such a big casualty?" ”
"The casualties in our office are not too big, and the ones in the government and the tun military station are even greater."
Kou Ruohai calmed down and said, "The task is to capture the county commander of Fenggu County. ”
"Wind drum...... What?! ”
Xu Chong was shocked.
Hundreds of dissatisfied eyes in the ancestral hall looked over.
Xu Chong pulled Kou Ruohai out of the ancestral hall and asked in a low voice: "How can a county order need to dispatch so many people?" And with such a big loss?! ”
He can understand the county order of Fenggu County.
After all, he made traces of Wei Wuxian there.
But the question is......
Is that prefectural order so strong?!
"I didn't understand it when I received the task."
Kou Ruohai calmed down and replied: "Later, on the road, Lord Qianhu asked us to cheer up, saying that the county order was an important figure in the Taiping Dao, and it was very likely that it was an existence above the Tongmai...... It turned out to be true. ”
Above the pulse?
Xu Chong was shocked.
If it's above the veins, then ...... I wasn't far away at the time, was I found?
After recalling it carefully, Xu Chong was a little relieved.
At that time, in order to ensure that the other party could find the word 'thousand', and think of Wei Wuxian accordingly, he was staring at the eyes and expressions of the county order from beginning to end.
It can be determined that since the county order appeared, until he left, his eyes did not pause in his direction.
It's not like it can be performed.
Moreover, he has always maintained the false appearance of greedy light and Lao Li.
Greedy light can be invisible, and the concealment of the false appearance, Jiang Zhihong, who is connected to the veins and above, can't detect his strength rioting.
It should have gone undetected.
Thinking like this, Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What about the county order?" Did you kill or escape? ”
"None of them."
Kou Ruohai shook his head, "The army array surrounded and killed, the French soldiers attacked from afar, and in the end, Lord Fujun and Lord Qianhu struck a joint blow and captured him with serious injuries." ”
"Huh?"
Xu Chong frowned, "Didn't I see you detain people in the black prison?" ”
"Let the prince take it away."
Kou Ruohai replied, "The prison of the government is not as safe as the black prison, and generally speaking, if you go beyond the realm of Tongmai, you will definitely be locked up in the black prison, but this time Lord Qianhu did not insist, and I didn't see any dissatisfaction." ”
"Is that ......?"
Xu Chong was thoughtful.
If nothing else, it was the Qianhu Institute that had already taken the credit of Jiang Zhihong, so Ge Wanshan took the initiative to give up the credit this time.
"Gone, I got some minor injuries, and I'm going back to recuperate."
Kou Ruohai said a word, jumped forward, and flew down to the third layer.
……
……
In just one day, the Thousand Households returned to normal order and atmosphere.
As if the memory of his friend was suddenly erased by the cognitive impairment, no one went to the ancestral hall of the South Building again.
Thousands of tablets are located on the fourth floor, quietly overlooking the blood back and forth.
And so it went for another half month.
There was a knock on Xu Chong's door.
Knock knock.
"Mr. Xu is here?"
A familiar voice came.
Xu Chong heard that this was the captain who often ran errands for Ge Wanshan, and walked over and opened the door: "Lord Qianhu is looking for me?" ”
"It's not just the Thousand Households, but the Fujun-sama is also here."
The lieutenant replied respectfully, "It seems that Lord Fujun wants to see you by name." ”
Duan Yuanming?
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Did the two adults say what happened?" ”
The general general flag would definitely not ask this, but he asked if it was okay.
The school captain also felt that it was normal, and replied directly: "It seems that the prince of the mansion is very embarrassed by something, and he asked Lord Qianhu for help, and Lord Qianhu asked me to come over and ask for General Qi." ”
"Help?"
Xu Chong was a little suspicious, and nodded to the captain: "I know." ”
"Then the subordinate will retire first."
The lieutenant clenched his fists and left.
Xu Chong stood quietly at the door for a moment, still unable to determine Duan Yuanming's intention, so he simply didn't think much about it anymore and went upstairs.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
It didn't take long for Xu Chong to see the two of them on the fifth floor.
Before he could speak, Ge Wanshan beckoned: "Don't ask for instructions, come in directly." ”
"Yes."
Xu Chong walked in directly.
"You should have heard about the mission a while ago."
Ge Wanshan went straight in, "Let you come over, just for the county order above the vein......"
As soon as he said this, Ge Wanshan was a little depressed: "Damn, Taiping Dao is all idle or what?" For a while, it is to go to Canglong as the main book, and for a while, it is to be the county order above the pulse. ”
"Since the new Dao Master, no one can guess what they want to do."
Duan Yuanming shook his head with emotion and looked at Xu Chong: "I came here this time to ask Xu Xiaoyou for a favor." ”
"Help?"
Xu Chong was stunned for a moment and looked at Ge Wanshan.
"That's right."
Ge Wanshan opened his mouth to explain, "There is a hard bone above that vein, Lord Fujun has tried his best in the past half a month, but he can't pry his mouth open, so I recommended you to Lord Fujun." ”
"This ...... It's different, right? ”
Xu Chong was a little puzzled, "Should you find a master in torture?" ”
"Everyone else tried, it didn't work, and ...... Forget it, you're the best fit anyway. ”
Ge Wanshan was about to say that Xu Chong had already interrogated the Tongmai once, when the words came to his lips, he realized that Xu Chong should have forgotten about that incident.
"In short, if this matter is this matter, there will be only Xiaoyou left in the entire Zhanghua Mansion."
Duan Yuanming took over the conversation, "Of course, if Xiaoyou is unwilling, I can escort people to the capital, but in that case, there will be a lot of variables on the road." ”
"And that's not all."
Ge Wanshan also said, "It will also make the imperial court question the ability of Zhang Huafu to handle cases, including our Qianhu Office." ”
All right.
It's so reasonable, and it doesn't have the conditions to refuse......
Xu Chong was helpless, so he could only hold his fists and say: "My subordinates are willing to give it a try." ”
"Okay."
Ge Wanshan nodded with satisfaction and handed over a thin dossier: "This is the information we have so far, not much, and the authenticity needs to be judged by yourself, you can study it first." ”
Xu Chong stretched out his hand to take it.
There are three big characters written on the dossier.
Xie Changkong.
