After Zhu Wei came to Pingyang City, it took him more than a month to sort out the basic situation of Pingyang City before he took the trouble to contact Qian Xingkui.

He wanted to use Qian Xingkui as an intermediary to further establish a relationship with the Qian family, and only after getting the support of the Qian family could he have the capital to fight with Lu Tong.

At this time, after Zhu Wei saw Qian Xingkui, he naturally lowered his posture and came to him very complimentally, with a stammer:

"Eh, Steward Qian, why did you come out in person, it's all because Lao Zhu and I came late and made you wait for a long time."

"General, don't say that, it's a pain in the old man, General Zhu was appointed by the imperial court to guard Pingyang City, and I still have to rely on General Zhu to take care of you."

While speaking, Qian Xingkui pulled Zhu Wei and walked towards the manor, and his words and actions seemed very intimate.

"Where! Where! It's all up to Mr. Qian to take care of. ”

Zhu Wei knew that this was Steward Qian complimenting himself, he was a little boss, how could he be a general, but listening to his words, he made his heart very comfortable.

Steward Qian is not at all high because he is asking for it, he is worthy of being the housekeeper of a large family, and his words and deeds are not leaky.

After Zhu Wei followed Qian Xingkui into the door, the inside suddenly opened up, the space was very large, there was no superfluous interior decoration in it, but there were more rolling stone logs.

Looking at these, Zhu Wei's pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Zhu Wei's performance was naturally discovered by Qian Xingkui, who was observant, and he didn't say anything, just laughed a few times, and took Zhu Wei to a big house.

As for his men and prisoners, there will naturally be arrangements for his subordinates.

After entering the house, Qian Xingkui pulled Zhu Wei to sit down, and tea had already been brewed on the table next to him.

"General Zhu drinks tea."

After speaking, Zhu Wei hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Qian Xingkui also picked up the tea bowl, skimmed the tea inside, took a sip gently, and then said:

"General Zhu has been tired all the way, presumably he is already hungry in his belly, the old man, I have prepared a little thin wine, and I hope General Zhu will not dislike it."

"What Steward Qian said, this matter itself is disturbed by my Lao Zhu, that is, Steward Qian gives face, otherwise my Lao Zhu may have gone to sweep the street by now."

Soon the wine table was set up, and the wine and food were put up one after another, filling a large table with a full aroma.

Smelling this fragrance, Zhu Wei's stomach gurgled twice out of place.

Along the way, Zhu Wei and his soldiers ate the same dry food, and his plan this time was to win over people, so naturally he would not engage in any special treatment.

It is precisely because of this that he has really gnawed on dry food for a few days, and at this time, smelling the aroma of this wine and meat, the gluttonous worms in his stomach have long been hooked out.

Zhu Wei was born in the barracks, and he is also a character who is not stingy, and he is not embarrassed, he patted his stomach and said:

"I'm not afraid of the money housekeeper laughing when I say it, Lao Zhu, I'm already hungry and my stomach is empty."

After Zhu Wei and Qian Xingkui glanced at each other, they both laughed.

"It's the old man's negligence, come and come, eat, eat!"

For a time, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

……

After Zhao Lei broke away from the follower, he did not continue to move forward, but found a shady place and prepared to take a rest.

He also wanted to take advantage of the time to distance himself from the cavalry, lest he run into them after leaving to follow, and rush into them.

After Zhao Lei found a cool place, he simply arranged it, and then took out the chalcedony that was obviously smaller from his arms, and he didn't understand what was going on.

In the past few days, Zhao Lei's spirit was not on the chalcedony, so he didn't find it until he was ready to go alone, and he unconsciously touched his chest, and then found that the chalcedony on his chest had become smaller.

I don't know if it was absorbed by itself or spilled out in the air, but it did become smaller, which made Zhao Lei extremely distressed.

Zhao Lei hurriedly opened the wooden box, and then released the cat mother-in-law, only to see a green ball of light, slowly floating out of the wooden box.

After this period of cultivation, the light cluster has obviously condensed a lot.

"What's wrong with Childe?"

A familiar voice sounded in his head again, and then Zhao Lei took the chalcedony to the black mother-in-law.

"Black mother-in-law, I have always kept this chalcedony in my arms, why is it so small for a period of time."

"Childe, this chalcedony has been absorbed by you, and it will naturally slowly become smaller."

The black woman looked around the chalcedony for a moment, and then said:

"It's just that Childe is a mortal, and the chalcedony has been absorbed so much, which is indeed a little strange.

Childe, can you let me take a look at your body? ”

Zhao Lei felt that the black mother-in-law was not malicious, so he nodded and agreed with his idea.

Then a wisp of green smoke floated from the black mother-in-law's cat's paw, and then entered Zhao Lei's body through his eyebrows.

In just a moment, Zhao Lei only felt a little stuffy in his chest, and his heart suddenly felt like it had been pinched.

Sweat came out directly from Zhao Lei's forehead, and he only felt that his eyes were dark, and a sense of impending death permeated his whole body, just like a fish leaving the water.

A shrill meow was heard, and then a cloud of green smoke drifted out of his body.

Then Zhao Lei got out of that sense of impending death, and it wasn't until he slowly regained his sight that everything in front of him appeared in his eyes.

And the cat mother-in-law also rolled in the air with her chest covered, and after about half a pillar of incense, Zhao Lei slowly recovered, and a weak voice sounded in his head.

"Childe, you're still bitter about my cat mother-in-law, have you ever taken any strange things before?"

After listening to Granny Cat's words, Zhao Lei remembered that he didn't know what he had eaten on the way to escape, which caused his injuries to get better and his strength to become much greater.

Thinking of this stubble, Zhao Lei told the cat mother-in-law about this matter.

"Why, Childe, you don't know what you eat?"

Zhao Lei thought carefully about the herbs he picked at that time, and said:

"At that time, I was just thinking about my life, and I didn't know what I ate."

"Since I don't know, don't worry about these things, I can tell Childe that Childe's heart is full of fiery medicinal power.

When I checked the spiritual root for Childe before, I was negligent and didn't find it.

Because chalcedony is water-based, it is full of water spiritual power.

And you have been passively absorbing water spiritual power, and it is neutralized with the fire power.

Before, I wondered why chalcedony dissipated so quickly, and so much, and you didn't react at all, so it turned out to be like this. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Lei was frightened and hurriedly said:

"Then the fairy grass I used before, and the chalcedony I absorb now, aren't all wasted, how can this be good!

Will I not be able to absorb this chalcedony anymore? ”
