Chapter 71: Night Talk

Tossed until midnight, You Ziji finally returned to the county guard's mansion, most of the people had already slept, only the guards at the gate and in the courtyard had not rested.

When he returned to the house, he found a dark shadow in front of the door, and when he got closer, he saw that it was the old Dao who was dozing off, and You Ziji shook him awake, and asked with a smile: "The Taoist chief doesn't go to sleep in the house, why do you come to my door steps to take a rest?" ”

Yi Lao Dao was sleepy-eyed, opened his eyes with difficulty, saw that it was You Ziji, sobered up a little, and said: "The county guard is waiting in the study, and I have something to say to you." ”

"Lord County Keeper has been busy with affairs all day, and he is very tired, so he will wait until tomorrow to talk about it, why bother with the long Taoist who can't sleep well in the middle of the night."

Yi Lao Dao knew that You Ziji was familiar with him, so he was quite concerned, but his tone was mixed with the emotion of complaining about Zhou Junshou, which was exactly what he was worried about, otherwise he could arrange the guards on duty at night, so why bother to wait in person.

"Brother You, don't say that, I decided to wait here. You also know that the county guard used to be my childhood friend, and now he is in trouble, and I must help him. It's not that I have to let him seize power and take revenge, I just want to ensure his safety, but unfortunately my ability is low, and it doesn't have much effect. I know that Brother You is righteous, and I hope you can help us a little bit for the sake of our friendship. ”

"If a friend is in trouble, I naturally won't leave it alone."

Yi Lao Dao got the promise of You Ziji, let go of the big stone in his heart, thought about it and gave another order.

"The county guard is a layman, and he doesn't understand the affairs of our cultivators, so if he waits and speaks unreasonably, please ask the little brother to take care of it. If he has any requests, we will answer them first, and we will study them later, so as not to let him worry about being a mortal. ”

You Ziji agreed, and then turned around to find Zhou Jun to guard.

Zhou Junshou's room was still brightly lit, and the candlelight reflected his figure sitting in front of the bookcase, probably not asleep yet.

Walking to the door, You Ziji patted the door. Zhou Junshou inside also seemed to doze off, and his reaction was a little sluggish, so he only said "Wait a minute", and only got up after a while to open the door.

I haven't seen it for a day, and Zhou Junshou has a fine stubble on his chin, and he doesn't seem to have the energy to take care of it, and he looks very haggard.

You Ziji glanced at him, and saw that Zhou Junshou's eyes were full of tired looks, and his heart couldn't help but soften a little, thinking of Yi Laodao's entrustment, he decided to take everything first.

"Thank you Shaoxia for saving more than a dozen lives in my house and rescuing my daughter from the tiger's den." Zhou Jun went straight to the point, thanking the life-saving benefactor while kneeling down to thank him.

You Ziji hurriedly picked him up, "Lord County Shou doesn't have to be so polite, it's all a gesture." ”

Zhou Junshou was deadlocked, so he had to get up and say: "If you have any requirements, please feel free to ask, I will definitely meet them, although I am a county guard with no real power, but now it is different from the past, and the magnates in the city are all stammering me." ”

Since his daughter was rescued, Zhou Junshou was in a happy mood, even if he was in a difficult situation, he could easily say it and make jokes, which made You Ziji unable to give birth to any disgust.

"Lord County Guard is polite, I also live in the mansion, and my friends naturally want to help if they are in trouble, if you really want to calculate the price, it should be my reward for staying in the mansion."

Seeing that You Ziji was so open-minded, Zhou Jun Shou couldn't help but take a closer look at You Ziji. The young man in front of him is young, not only has his cultivation profound, but also his heart is also superior. He thought that You Ziji was young and unstable, and he would take the opportunity to ask for something outrageous. This next week, the county guard will no longer look at You Ziji as a teenager, but discuss problems with each other from an equal perspective.

"Does You Young Man know about the Five Elements Orb?" Zhou Junshou asked first, and when he saw You Ziji nodding, he didn't pause, and continued: "This is the supreme treasure on the Dragon King Tower in Zijun City, and it may not be as powerful as a cultivator, but his symbolism is very great. My current notoriety began with the loss of these Five Elements Orb. Recently, there have been rumors that the Five Elements Orb has been rediscovered, and I must make a statement, and if it is handled properly, it may be able to wash away my stains. ”

Zhou Junshou still didn't want to give up his position as a county guard, or he didn't want to give up the opportunity to show his ambitions. According to his plan, if he doesn't have a chance, let some reliable people take over.

When You Ziji heard this, he immediately knew that the news was fake. Because two of the orbs were in his arms, how could anyone really find the Five Elements Orbs. But You Ziji didn't want to tell Zhou Junshou now, let's let Zhou Junshou have a good rest tonight.

"What do you command?"

"I have sent someone to contact the person who retrieved the orb, and if it is true, a temple fair will be held at the Dragon King Temple, and I will personally come forward to appease the people and confirm the action against the bandits. At that time, there will definitely be many people who don't want this to happen and make drastic moves, hoping that the ranger can protect the safety of my family. ”

You Ziji was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about you, my lord?" ”

"Naturally, it is protected by Captain Hongdu. The two of us are officially appointed officials of the Heavenly Mansion, so I don't think there will be any real worries about our lives in Zijun City, but the rest of the family will be more dangerous. With Shaoxia and Brother Yi escorting, I believe you will definitely be able to go to a safe place. ”

"I don't recommend that the warden do that."

"Why?"

At this time, You Zi Jike can no longer pretend that he knows anything.

"Has Lord Gunshou ever seen the real Five Elements Orb?"

"No, I've just heard of what the orb looks like."

The Five Elements Orb was lost on the day Zhou Junshou took office, rumors spread in the city, and the people said that the new Zhou Junshou had destroyed the luck in the city, so until today, Zhou Junshou has not seen this so-called treasure.

You Ziji took out two orbs from his arms, one red and one dark yellow. Zhou Junshou's eyes widened, he had already guessed what the orb in front of him was, but he really couldn't believe it.

"This is the fire line and earth line in the Five Elements Orb, they were both captured by me in the hands of the bandits, can the county keeper guess who took the orb now?"

"It's just that how can the thieves outside the city steal the treasure inside the city, unless there is an internal response." Zhou Junshou only knew at this time that there were other forces behind the bandits to help, no wonder the matter of going out of the city to suppress the bandits was delayed again and again, it turned out that these heroes were simply with the bandits.

"It's probably not an internal response, but a self-theft. Last night, Daoist Yi and I were the young ladies found in Li Langzhong's house, and Daoist Yi must have told you. After that, he didn't know that there was a group of people chasing and killing us, and the leader was the temple in the Dragon King Temple. ”

You Ziji looked at the stunned Zhou Junshou in front of him and continued: "My lord, do you still think that the matter of the Five Elements Orb is an opportunity? This fake news is a trap set by the powerful people in the city in order to let the adults fall into the net and completely ruin their reputations. ”
