Chapter 62: Revolt
Zhou Qing was arrested.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue, which made Zhou Junshou stunned on the spot, his body was shaky, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he couldn't preside over the affairs anymore.
Among the people present, Steward Zhou was the first choice for those who were familiar with affairs, but he was an ordinary person and had never known much about the affairs of cultivators. In terms of status, Hong Duwei, as the highest official position other than Zhou Junshou, should not let him preside over the overall situation, but unfortunately he is not good at coordinating and managing this kind of thing, and he is seriously injured and cannot come forward.
As for Yi Lao Dao, he is quite old and experienced, and he is the closest person to the Zhou family, he could have taken the lead, but because he had no prestige when he first arrived, and Zhou Qing was also taken away in his hands, it was really not suitable to lead everyone to make decisions at this time.
So everyone looked at each other and did not move for a long time.
Yi Laodao had no choice but to look at You Ziji, he was waiting for You Ziji's decision. The two had a long talk all night about knowing each other, although You Ziji was only a teenager, he believed in You Ziji's judgment. And the cultivation of You Ziji on the scene is the highest, he doesn't express his position, and others have no confidence, and they can't even think about saving people.
"The enemy has just left, the situation is unknown, let's rest first, wait for the countermeasures to be discussed, and then go to rescue Miss Zhou." You Ziji spoke surprisingly usefully, and everyone didn't want to continue fighting tonight. Several of the guards stopped tense and sat down on the ground, and both Captain Hong and the butler acquiesced in their slackness.
But Steward Zhou was still a little hesitant, he definitely wanted to save Zhou Qing as soon as possible, but You Ziji was not a subordinate of the Zhou Mansion now, but a cultivator who was more powerful than Hong Duwei. The enemy is huge, I don't know how many masters, on the other hand, he only has the strength of Youziji to fight again, and the old housekeeper really doesn't know how to ask Youziji to save people.
You Ziji saw what he was thinking, and took the initiative to say: "Grandpa housekeeper, I want to discuss the rescue with Dao Chang, Hong Duwei is injured again, and now the mansion needs you to preside over the overall situation, you first take the county guard back to the room, and then arrange two guards to guard the door, if there is any change, we must notify us in time to deal with it, and the others should go back to rest and recuperate." ”
Steward Zhou got You Ziji's promise and went to arrange the rotation of the guards with peace of mind.
"Daoist Yi, you have excellent medical skills, wait until the guards are settled first, and then come to help me treat Captain Hong."
Yi Laodao nodded and went to treat the wounded.
The injuries of several guards were not very serious, but the state of Zhou Junshou made him even more worried, he simply bandaged the wounds of the guards, and even did not hesitate to spend his true qi to quickly treat the wounded and restore their condition to the best.
Zhou Junshou had been taken back to the study by the housekeeper at this time, his face was a little soothed, and he was no longer pale, but he still couldn't lift his strength and sat on the chair. When Dao Chang came here, he raised his head, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and weak.
"Brother Yi, I have endured it again and again, and I never thought of rushing in with others, but in the end, this is the result, is it true that Zijun City can't tolerate me."
Yi Laodao pursed the corners of his mouth, he didn't know what those wealthy families really thought, but during his travels, the arrogant and domineering images of the wealthy gentry in various places were deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Don't the county guards know? This Zijun city is the largest city in Longbei, but the people in the city are as poor as the rest of Longbei, why is this happening, and who caused this? ”
"I don't understand the struggle for power in officialdom, but I know that people's desires are endless, and these gentry are even more so. If you have gained some profit today, and if tomorrow's profit is smaller than today's, you will feel that you have lost a lot. With such an idea, the gentry control the fortune of Zijun City and the economy, and naturally want to go further and get more power. Your blind concessions will only make them worse. ”
Zhou Junshou lowered his head gloomily, "It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, Qing'er was captured, and I have no real power, so I can only resign myself to fate." ”
"How can you give up so easily? Now that you have military power, and you have Little Brother You to help, the other party has no way to take you. If I rescue Qing'er again, do you dare to give it a go? ”
Zhou Junshou's eyes lit up, "If I can save Qing'er back, I will have no worries, the gentleman will repay his grievances directly, if there is a chance, I will not let them have a good time." ”
"It's enough to have your words, Brother You is extraordinary, I will ask him for help, I will definitely succeed."
……
Captain Hong was lying on the bed in his room, he was seriously injured and had lost his combat effectiveness in a short time.
You Ziji just stopped the blood from his wound, and wanted to comb his meridians with true qi to make him feel better, but the corpse qi toxin in Hong Duwei's body exploded, and it actually spread all over his body with the operation of true qi, if it weren't for Hong Duwei's strength to build a foundation realm, half of his life would have to be explained, You Ziji hurriedly stopped his luck.
When he looked at Captain Hong again, his face and neck were already blue and black, Yin Tang was dark, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and he didn't know how much pain he was experiencing.
You Ziji and Hong Duwei are half-hearted in terms of healing, and they are both black-eyed when dealing with this kind of xenomorphic true qi that they have never seen. The two didn't dare to continue the treatment, so they could only wait for Lao Dao to come over and have a look.
In order to divert Hong Duwei's attention and make him no longer so painful, You Ziji chatted with him.
"Can Brother Hong guess the identity of the man in black? I'm sure he's in league with the bandits outside the city. ”
"I really can't think of who it is, but that person's practice path is not like an ordinary loose practice, maybe we can check tomorrow to see which one of the worshippers has been seriously injured. Most of his true qi is consumed, and if he is slapped with all your strength, he will definitely not survive. ”
You Ziji shook his head, "Our county guard has no control over Zijun City at all, so it's not so easy to investigate this kind of thing, and if that monk escapes outside the city, we may not know." ”
"That's not going to be easy."
Both sides are not good at words, and the two of them have nothing to say when they talk about this.
Hong Duwei still had something he wanted to ask, he really couldn't imagine how a twelve-year-old boy could cultivate to the Foundation Building Realm, and he was stronger than him. If there is a chance to enter Tianfu for cultivation, You Ziji's achievements will definitely be very high.
But Hong Duwei didn't speak after all, the atmosphere of Tianfu Temple in Zijun City was really bad, and he didn't like to stay there, so he couldn't let You Ziji go there. As for the county-level Tianfu Temple, he has no way, and it is not clear whether You Ziji can enter it.
The two were silent for a while, but You Ziji spoke first.
"I don't know if I'm done, I'm going to find him."
Turning his head, he saw a figure standing there outside the door without the slightest movement, and the two people in the room immediately tensed their nerves. You Ziji sniffed it with his nose and found that it was the old Taoist of Yi, and he was a little stunned, what is this old Taoist priest doing standing outside? He walked to the door and opened the door, just as he bumped into the confused and shocked expression of Yi Laodao. You Ziji really didn't know why this old Taoist priest showed such rich emotions, he didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he pulled the old Taoist priest in and asked him to solve the corpse qi on Hong Duwei's body.
Seeing that Hong Duwei's whole body was black and blue, he was startled, and immediately rushed over to take a pulse to diagnose.
"Daoist Yi, how is Brother Hong?"
"It's not a big problem, but fortunately, Hong Duwei is really angry, and the concentration of the corpse qi itself is not enough, so there is no danger to his life. When I prick the acupuncture points with gold needles and force the corpse qi out, it will be more comfortable. ”
Yi Lao Dao put aside the matter of promising Zhou Junshou, and just lowered his head and concentrated on healing. He was too full of words, and he didn't know how to open his mouth at this time to rescue Zhou Qing, not to mention whether there were any clues, but he knew where she was, and that was also Longtan Tiger's Den, and the master didn't know how many, how embarrassed to open his mouth and let You Ziji accompany him in danger.
The old Taoist priest frowned, took out the silver needle, sealed several large acupoints, and first controlled the rich corpse qi in Hong Duwei's body in one place and then forced it out.
This process didn't require Hong Duwei to do anything, so You Ziji continued to chat with him.
Worried about the current situation between the enemy and us, Hong Duwei asked: "Now that the enemy is in the shadows, we are under attack but we don't even know where the enemy is, how can we fight back?" ”
When Yi Laodao heard this, the needle method slowed down unconsciously, and he had no clue, and even who attacked him was Zhou Junshou's own guess.
You Ziji suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "When I first came, I heard that Miss Zhou took some medicine to treat diseases, and it happened that I knew all those herbs, all of which were for the treatment of divine consciousness, and later I treated Miss Zhou and found that her divine consciousness was not injured at all. I think there must be something wrong with that Li Langzhong, who of you knows where he lives, let's go find him later. ”
Seeing that You Ziji was thinking clearly, and between his words, he obviously decided to rescue Zhou Qing, his mood suddenly brightened, and the speed of applying the needle increased a little, and after a while, he forced a large part of the corpse qi out.
This is not over, Yi Lao Dao took out the thunder and lightning talisman again, and put it on Hong Duwei's wound, and the aura emitted from it slowly consumed the remaining corpse qi in Hong Duwei's body, and it seemed that it would only take three or five days to completely get rid of it.
Hong Duwei was reluctant, "I don't want this talisman, you gave him to me and wait for how to fight the enemy." ”
Old Dao tilted his beard, "The thunder and lightning generated by my talisman is the thing of the sun, just to restrain the corpse qi in your body, and the injury will heal faster, and its aura has been exhausted and needs to be replenished, I can't use it in the first place, so I just put it on you to help you heal." ”
Turning his head and saying to You Ziji, "Do you want to go directly to save people?" That's not going to work, we need to be more prepared. I still remember the ability of Little Brother You to make talismans, so it's better to draw a few more pictures for Lao Dao, and be prepared. ”
As soon as Hong Duwei heard this, he became energetic, "Yes, yes, yes, draw a copy of this talisman on my body." ”
Yi Lao Dao was so angry that he scolded on the spot and said: "This talisman is a treasure, you can draw it if you want to." ”
