Chapter 4 Windfall

When Zhou Bai woke up.

The wreckage was being cleaned up in the streets, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion carried the bodies of their colleagues covered with white cloths, their steps were slow, and everyone had gloomy faces.

There was not only the smell of blood in the air, but also the smell of sadness.

He sat on the corner of the street, and in front of him were several of his headhunters, all guarding him.

"I'm not dead?"

The memories of the pre-coma gradually returned.

He was hit by Chen Xiao's five poisonous palms, and the poison entered his body, his true qi was consumed too much, and he couldn't resist it, and finally fell down in grief and anger.

That's right, it's grief and indignation.

If the palace was willing to contribute, the two of them would work together, and with Chen Xiao's state at that time, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Now that Chen Xiao is in the middle stage of congenital development, when he recovers from his injuries, there will never be a second chance as good as today.

Zhou Bai was secretly angry at Yu Xian's greed for life and fear of death, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Someone! What about the rest of the royal palace? But escaped? ”

"Mr. Zhou, are you looking for me?"

A voice came from behind him.

Zhou Bai's hair stood on end all over his body, and when he turned his head like a ghost, he saw a pale face, his hair and sideburns were wet with sweat, sticking to his forehead, and he looked very tired.

"Yu Offering! Why are you here? ”

Yu Xian said with an innocent face: "Mr. Zhou, why can't I be here?" Anyway, I tried my best to save your life just now, why don't you even have a good face? ”

"You save me? Poison gas on my body? ”

Only then did Zhou Bai realize that his paralyzed body had returned to normal at this moment, and all the poisonous gas had been forced into the palm of his right hand, and he was being restrained by a powerful force.

When he recovers his true qi, it will only take some time to force these poisonous gases out of his body.

Thinking about it, it was Yu Xianfeng who healed his injuries just now, which caused his face to be so tired.

Zhou Bai's face turned blue and white for a while, hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said:

"Yu is grateful for you saving my life, but Zhou will still tell the prince truthfully about today's cowardice.

No matter how the prince punished him afterwards, Zhou was willing to bear it with Yu Feng. ”

"Reprimand? Why do you punish us? ”

Yu Xian secretly laughed, but on the surface, he pretended to be puzzled:

"And when did I fight timidly, didn't people catch it? The prince should reward us. ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Bai looked stunned, and then his eyes followed Yu Xian.

I saw that Chen Xiao, who was covered in bruises and half of his body was charred, was unconscious, tied up and thrown aside.

Zhou Bai only felt a stream of blood rush to his head, and his face was quickly congested and turned red.

People not only saved themselves, but also caught people.

And not only did he not give people a good face just now, but he also wanted to complain to the prince.

It's simply ...... It's a shame!

He just wanted to find a crack in the ground at the moment.

Seeing Zhou Bai's appearance, Yu Xian secretly pinched his thigh meat, lest he couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Zhou, since you are awake, I am also relieved. In addition, Chen Xiao is the assassin who assassinated the prince, I have to take it to the palace and wait for the prince to deal with it, I don't know if you agree to be arrested by Mr. Zhou? ”

At this time, Zhou Bai wanted to bring Chen Xiao to the yamen for interrogation, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to nod awkwardly.

"It should."

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your accommodation."

Yu Xian hugged his fists in thanks, stood up and walked towards Chen Xiao, and left when he mentioned someone.

The reason why he stayed to act in this scene was that he saw that Zhou Bai was a good person, and such a person would take a handle if he could, anyway, it would not cost him.

The other is thinking that he still has to retire in King Fu's Mansion, and the reputation of not being able to fight today will spread, so he won't have to mix it up in the future.

Now that Chen Xiao has been caught by him, Zhou Bai has been favored by him, the palace can be explained, and the yamen has to thank him.

And all he paid for was a weakened version of the fireball technique.

It's really a win.

Zhou Bai vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the grace of saving his life was greater than the sky, even if he knew that Yu Xian had picked up a bargain, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

What's more, Changning County was originally the fief of King Fu, and it is reasonable for the palace to become a law enforcer by crossing the government.

"The list of dead and wounded brothers was counted, and the head of the book wrote a report himself. In addition, no one is allowed to touch their family's pension, and I will personally send it over. ”

Zhou Bai pondered for a moment, stood up with the support of his subordinates, and did not forget to explain.

In order to arrest Chen Xiao today, the price paid is not small, but fortunately, the Fuwang Mansion has already promised that they will bear the expenses and pensions.

Otherwise, next time I want the brothers to work hard, without silver, no matter how great his personality charm is, it will be in vain.

……

Yunlai Inn.

Chen Xiao woke up slowly, the injuries on his body had been preliminarily bandaged, but he still felt tearing pain all over his body.

He wanted to heal his wounds, but found that his body was limp and he couldn't lift his strength at all.

"It's useless, this is a soft tendon powder specially developed by the Imperial Court Criminal Department to control martial arts masters, and the innate martial artist eats it, and he can't do it for three days and three nights."

A faint voice came.

Chen Xiao turned his head to look, only to find that he was lying on the bed in the guest room, and a scholar in a green shirt was sitting at the table in front of him, drinking tea slowly.

"It's you!"

Chen Xiao remembered that this bastard was the last person to sneak up on him, and he mocked his five poisonous palms as nothing more than that.

"What kind of hero is a sneak attack from behind!"

Yu Xian was very surprised: "When did I say that I was a hero?" ”

In the incredulous expression on Chen Xiao's face, Yu Xian took out two quail egg-sized white crystals, with edges and corners, which were the common currency in the immortal cultivation world-spirit stones.

White is the lower grade spirit stone.

"Without further ado, where did you get this thing?"

Touching corpses is a good habit.

It was from Chen Xiao's body that he touched the spirit stone, so Yu Xian did not immediately escort it back to the palace for interrogation, but prepared to squeeze it first.

Thinking that he farmed for the great cultivator in the immortal cultivation world back then, he only had an income of three lower-grade spirit stones a year, and he was usually only willing to use a level lower than the spirit stone.

However, this also explains why Chen Xiao was able to break through to the middle innate stage in a realm like the mortal realm, where the aura is thin.

With enough spirit stones, the effect of the thinning of the spiritual energy is not so great.

Thinking that Chen Xiao didn't know how many spirit stones he had wasted in order to cultivate martial arts, Yu Xian's heart ached faintly.

It's all his!

"It seems that you also know the spirit stone?"

Chen Xiao sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"But do you think I'm going to say that? Or try to beg me, and maybe I'll tell you when I'm in a good mood. ”

Yu Xian was not annoyed or angry, but sighed: "Actually, I don't like to threaten others with the old and weak, so it seems that I am very tasteless."

But if you don't cooperate, I can't help it. ”

"Bring people in."

The door opened, and two palace guards walked in with a girl.

"Get out."

Yu Xian retreated the guard, pointed to the girl and said:

"With your martial arts, if you want to leave Changning City, no one can stop you, but you didn't leave, it's for her, right?

The city gate has long been under martial law, and you still have injuries on your body, and it is indeed not easy to walk with a weak girl.

You're smart enough to try to lure the officers and soldiers away by disguising her as an innkeeper in an attempt to get out.

It's a pity that you don't understand the minds of the upper echelons, they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than put one wrong. Speaking of which, you have to thank me for saving her life. ”

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a plain white dress, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, looking at Chen Xiao, who was seriously injured on the bed, tears fell silently.

Seeing the girl being arrested, Chen Xiao was emotional and roared: "You fucking have the ability to come to me, what kind of man is bullying a girl!" ”

Yu Xian walked slowly to the girl and gently lifted her chin, revealing her pear blossom and rainy face.

"You shouldn't provoke me, because I'm upset, and it's only her who will be hurt."

Chen Xiao's eyes were split, and even breathing became difficult.

"Let her go! I said yes, let her go......"

Yu Xian smiled slightly and let go of the girl: "Happy cooperation." ”
