The worldly rivers and lakes were also wiped out in the Great Purge a few years ago.

The world's warriors are wiped out.

The rest of the forces that can pose some threats to the imperial city are only a few forces.

And the Zhong clan of the Yi Saint Evil Realm is undoubtedly the strongest among them.

Xu Guoshi acted like this, it seemed that he was in a hurry to tie the Zhong clan of the Yi Saint Evil Realm to the chariot of the cultivators. Even if the Zhong clan still can't be used by the Imperial City in the end, once they accept the benefits of the Imperial City, it is to eat people with short mouths and soft hands.

Even if you can't use it, you won't worry about becoming an enemy.

But now that the world is firmly in the hands of the cultivators, even if all the remaining forces are united, it will not be the opponent of the cultivators in the whole world.

Even so, they still had to spend so much money to win over the Zhong family.

What is it for, exactly?

He Yi couldn't figure it out.

...... ......

He Yi put away the pendant with the bones of the Immortal Pill and hung it back around his neck.

Since even Zhong Zhuo couldn't help this Immortal Pill, he could only find another way. Anyway, there are sacrificial bones to suppress it, and there will be no chaos for the time being.

He Yi also had the idea of throwing away this elixir directly, but he was reluctant to give it up after all.

Because if you want to throw it away, you must throw it away along with the bones, otherwise the evil spirits in the Immortal Pill will jump out, and you may not know what kind of disaster will happen, and the bones will be sacrificed...... But it was the only relic that my father left to me.

A few flavors of medicinal food were brought into the elegant room by the girls of Menglou, Zhong Zhuo was not polite, took the bowl and chopsticks and sent them to his mouth, it seemed that in order to subdue those few black gases just now, it really took a lot of energy.

He Yi accompanied Zhong Zhuo to eat, and no one mentioned Zhong Ci and Red Sleeves.

Of course, He Yi is very confident in the skills of the red sleeves, don't say that the people of the Zhong family are not cultivators, even if they are, the red sleeves also have the power to fight.

Besides, he also asked Jia Shao to bring someone to secretly protect the red sleeves, so in terms of safety, naturally there is no need to worry.

As for what Zhong Zhuo thinks, it is not clear.

Perhaps, he also had some confidence in his nephew.

"I take the liberty to ask, did your Zhong family come to Huyang this time to come to Huyang for the treasure competition?" He Yi ate a few bites, but he didn't know the taste, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and chatted with Zhong Zhuo.

The main thing is to make friends with the Zhong family.

These people have good strength, but they only focus on subduing demons and exorcism, and do not want any fame and reward, this spirit is really admired by He Yi.

Zhong Zhuo nodded and said, "Not bad." In this treasure competition, there is one thing in it, which is extremely useful to my Zhong family. Puyang is the closest to Huyang, so the palace master sent me here. ”

He Yi was surprised: "Oh, could it be that the list of treasures in this treasure competition has been leaked out in advance?"

This news surprised him very much, and he was even more surprised when he saw Zhong Zhuo nodding.

It stands to reason that before the start of the treasure competition, this treasure list is generally kept secret, one is to keep a low profile, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, and the other is to avoid competitors to discuss the ownership of the treasure in advance, otherwise the final transaction price will be much lower, or even only sell at the reserve price, it is possible.

It was a matter of interests, as one of the thirty-six immortal sects in Kyushu, how could such a mistake occur?

"In fact, if the leakage is not leaked, it will basically not affect the Qi Sect. This list of treasures is huge, including all kinds of spiritual properties, pills and exercises within the five elements, and each of the same kind of treasures has several or even dozens of pieces, and even some extremely special objects. There is no need to worry about someone wanting to swallow it in one bite———— because even if you have that appetite, you don't have that capital. Zhong Zhuo said lightly.

He didn't care about the internal affairs of the cultivators, nor did he care about the final ownership of those spiritual properties and pills, he just came for something that was useful for them to subdue demons and exorcise demons, and he would only participate in the bidding for this thing.

As for everything else, it has nothing to do with their Zhong family.

He Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, but his heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Senior Zhong came from Puyang, do you know the rules of this treasure competition? It is said that spiritual property is used as currency, barter, and will not be converted into secular money. ”

"This ...... The old man naturally knows ......" Zhong Zhuo said, his expression began to become a little unnatural.

The thing that appeared at this treasure competition was extremely important to their Zhong family, but although their Zhong family had become one of the Four Holy Palaces of the Protector of the Country, it had nothing to do with the word Xiuzhen.

Although the Imperial City was willing to give them a large amount of healing elixir, it was only a healing medicine, not an elixir that could increase their cultivation.

In other words, they don't have any spiritual property in their hands.

Therefore, as to whether they can bid for that treasure in the end, the Zhong family has no bottom in their hearts, and Zhong Zhuo's heart is even more bottomless.

Of course, there is another way for them to get that kind of thing. That is to tell the idea to the Imperial City, tell Xu Guoshi, and then take the order of the Imperial City and go directly to the Qi Sect to ask for it.

But in this way, it is tantamount to owing the imperial city a favor, and if the imperial city uses this as an excuse to let them do things in the future, it will be difficult to refuse.

...... ......

He Yi saw Zhong Zhuo's expression in his eyes, and he already knew it, but he didn't pierce the other party's mind on the spot.

After thinking about it for a while, he wanted to take the opportunity to repay the favor, and said: "This official still has some resources in his hands, and he may be able to help his predecessors compete for what they want." ”

The reason why He Yi said this is that there is public and private.

Yu Gong, since the Zhong family takes it as their responsibility to subdue demons and exorcise ghosts and does not ask for anything in return, that is the style of righteousness, and for such people, He Yi must also support them.

In private, he took the opportunity to show goodwill and formed a good relationship with the Zhong family, maybe it will help him in the future.

Moreover, now that he has captured Huyang City, sooner or later he will have to fight with the Qi Cultivation Sect. And if He Yi wants to further understand this Qi Cultivation Sect, in order to know himself and the enemy, and not be defeated in a hundred battles, he must personally go to the Qi Cultivation Sect and see with his own eyes how strong the other party's strength is.

At this moment, the upcoming Treasure Competition Conference is an excellent opportunity, why is it easy to have no way, so he wants to borrow a pair of Zhong family's skins and go to the Qi Sect.

"You have spiritual property in your hands, but...... On top of the laws of the imperial court, doesn't it say that officials are not allowed to practice and not to hoard spiritual property privately?" Zhong Zhuo was afraid that He Yi would misunderstand, and said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, our Zhong family doesn't care about these mundane things, but is just a little curious." ”

He Yi shook his head with a smile, and then said very confidently: "Since the Zhong family doesn't care, then don't ask." I can only say that with the current amount of spiritual property in my hand, no matter how valuable the item that my predecessor wants, it is enough to compete for it!"

He Yi didn't say big things, those things in the Qiankun bag, just take them out, they were enough to alarm all the Xiuzhen sects in the Northland.

And the thing that Zhong wanted to get, although it was not clear what it was, but it should have nothing to do with the word Xiuzhen.

Therefore, the odds of it being able to be bid on are very high, and the final price should not be too high.

"Is this true?Lord Taishou, the stakes are very high, you must not tease me!" Zhong Zhuo slapped the table, stood up with a pout, and looked directly at He Yi.

If the other party can really help the Zhong family get that treasure, it can really be regarded as a great favor.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zhuo couldn't help but secretly raise a little vigilance, and added: "But you have to say it first, if you have any requirements, put it forward first, if you break the rules of my Zhong clan, it will never work." ”

"Where are the seniors, how dare the juniors break the rules of the Zhong family?" He Yi smiled and made a promise, paused, then leaned his face over again, and whispered: "It's just a small favor, I think the seniors will definitely be able to help———— in the name of a private person." ”

"Oh, tell me first. ”

"I need the identity of the Zhong family to hide people's eyes and ears and go to the Qi Sect with my seniors. ”

“......”

The color in Zhong Zhuo's eyes flashed.

However, he did not refuse.

...... ......

After He Yi left, Zhong Zhuo closed his eyes alone and pondered, so there was no movement in the room for a long time.

This frightened the young Zhong family children outside.

They could also clearly feel the terrifying aura just now. Although it only existed for a moment, the terrifying aura of terror really frightened them.

A moment later, the group of Zhong family members rushed in with swords in hand, and seeing that Zhong Zhuo was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and put away his weapons.

"Second uncle, that person...... Just let him go? He is full of ghostly spirits, and if he wants to harm people in the future, he will definitely lose his life!" said one of them with concern.

Zhong Zhuo glanced at them and sighed, "The birth of a terrifying head must first awaken its spiritual wisdom before its eggs, and first merge with the host's divine consciousness to figure it out, so as to pass it on. After that, you still need to go through the three levels of cocooning, qualitative, and body shaping before you can become a real horror. Although Lingzhi is awake now, there is that murderous red bead that suppresses it day and night, and he can't do evil for a while. Besides, even if I wanted to get rid of this horror, I couldn't do it......"

As he spoke, Zhong Zhuo couldn't help but let out a wry smile and continued: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that the terrifying head has already regarded that Taishou as a ...... Alas, unjustly, unjustly!"

...... ......

If Menglou wants to reopen and become an immortal, it naturally needs to renovate the pattern.

So even if it has been decided, it will take more than a month to complete the full decoration, and now we can only wait.

Gongliang Ju and Pei Dong should train soldiers and horses in the camp at this time, and Jia Shao led the troops to the outside of the city to secretly protect the red sleeves, so there should be no mistakes.

As for the Taishou Mansion, Qin Guang and Li Ai replaced He Yi to deal with civil affairs, which also allowed him to spare some leisure time to deal with some private matters.

After thinking about it, He Yi walked to Zhou Chun's house.

Since He Yi entered the Taishou Mansion, he has persuaded Zhou Chun many times to let him move to the Taishou Mansion with Aunt Luan as soon as possible, firstly, to protect them from being harassed by the Zhao family again, and secondly, He Yi wants Zhou Chun to go to the Taishou Mansion to take up a post, and it is an important position, after all, Zhou Chun can be said to be one of the few people in He Yi's heart who can be fully trusted.

But every time He Yi mentioned this matter to Zhou Chun, Zhou Chun always shook his head and refused.

The reason for his refusal was also very simple: "Brother, if I really become an official, then you and my brother, won't you become a master and servant......?

This sentence directly made He Yi lose his temper.

In an inconspicuous corner of the northernmost part of Huyang City, there is a small residential courtyard, which is where Zhou Chun and Qin Luan now live.

Loess mud wall, where a few farm tools are placed, and there is a small vegetable garden next to it,

Qin Luan was sitting in front of the stove in the courtyard, adding firewood, boiling white porridge, and the smoke curling from the earthen stove came from a faint aroma of porridge.

It's simple, but it's full of life.

Last time, He Yi wanted to go to the market to visit Aunt Luan, but he had some accidents on the way, was framed by Zhao Han, and was escorted to the Taishou Mansion by Chang Duwei.

After that, because of the planning of the action, I couldn't spare time to come over, and after that, after getting the Taishou, I had to deal with civil affairs day and night, and I didn't have half a moment of leisure.

Therefore, this matter has been delayed again and again.

So until now, Qin Luan still doesn't know He Yi's true identity.

"Mother, look who I will bring here!" Closing the courtyard door, Zhou Chun seemed very excited, and he had no scruples about speaking.

If my mother knew the news that He Yi was still alive, she would definitely be very happy.

Qin Luan glanced back and saw that Zhou Chun had brought He Yi to his house, so he got up to greet him and said, "It turned out that He Gongzi was here, and I would like to thank He Gongzi for relieving the siege last time." ”

Although at the market that day, He Yi asked Zhou Chun to take her away in advance, but after the incident, she also went back to inquire and knew the truth about what happened that day.

It can be said that if it weren't for He Yi's relief, their mother and son would have been in prison for a long time, and they would never think about it for the rest of their lives.

This kindness has to be repaid.

Qin Luan looked left and right, but he couldn't think of anything he could get his hands on, as a thank you gift, so he could only say: "If Gongzi He doesn't dislike it, just stay for a light meal." ”

"Good. He Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Then I have to worry about Aunt Luan cooking herself, and my nephew has not tasted Aunt Luan's craftsmanship for more than ten years." ”

Qin Luan had just been turned over, wiped his hands on his apron, and was about to cook, but when he heard He Yi's words, he was suddenly stunned.

Nephew, more than 10 years......

"You ......"

Qin Luan turned around suddenly, and a pair of kind eyes fell on He Yi's face, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and a look of surprise and surprise quickly filled Aunt Luan's face.

"Mother, he's Big Brother Bai! Big Brother Bai who was secretly sent to the cliff prison by his grandfather ten years ago!" Zhou Chun said excitedly on the side.

Hearing Zhou Chun say this, and He Yi didn't deny it, the wrinkles on Qin Luan's face suddenly stretched, and he looked a little younger.

"Yan'er, you're Yan'er! I haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown so big......" Qin Luan walked over and touched He Yi's cheek, as if he remembered the life experience of the child in front of him again, and under empathy, his eyes began to reddened slightly: "Okay, good, it's good to be alive......"

Qin Luan couldn't help but hug He Yi into his arms and sobbed in a low voice.

He Yiben is also a person with a strong personality, but when he was hugged by Aunt Luan like this, he suddenly felt a sour nose and a feeling of wanting to cry.

He pursed his lips tightly, forcibly endured the bitterness that kept popping up in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Luan, over the years, I have also suffered from you." ”

He Yi secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would never allow this to happen again.

Absolutely not!

It was a happy event for the old people to recognize each other, but after the sad emotions, only the joy of reunion remained.

Qin Luan personally cooked, made a few good dishes for He Yi, and the three of them made it at the same table, chatting about the old things, and couldn't help but sigh for a while.

"I've grown up and matured. Don't always think about going back to take revenge, live well, that's what your father and mother want to see. Qin Luan kept putting vegetables in He Yi's bowl and said.

She is a woman's family, and she has entered old age, and she has taken hatred and the like very lightly.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to look at He Yi, who finally got out of prison, and suffers for the rest of her life because of hatred.

Zhou Chun stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth and said vaguely: "It's not Brother Ma, the way you opened your teeth and claws back then, even grandpa couldn't do anything about you!"

When it came to Old Lady Zhou, Qin Luan sighed and said to He Yi: "When you were just in prison, your Uncle Zhou and I still wanted to visit you in prison, but we were all stopped by the old man and forbidden everyone in the family to contact the Cliff Prison. Later, the master's body was not as good as day by day, until he was dying, and when he was dying, he once said: I don't know if the kid of the Bai family has a long memory, and I hope that he will not be found by the people of the imperial city...... At this time, we found out that the old man did not allow you to visit, which was actually a kind of protection for you. ”

After listening to this, He Yi's mood became heavier and heavier.

Although he was smart at that time, he was definitely not mature, and he had a thirst for revenge, but he didn't know the word forbearance.

If even his life is lost, how can he talk about hatred?

At this point, the Zhou family, especially the old lady Zhou, can be said to have the grace of reinvention for him.

This kindness cannot be forgotten no matter what.

"That's right, Aunt Luan, Xiaochun. You ......" Halfway through this meal, He Yi hesitated to mention it again, and let Qin Luan's mother and son move into the Taishou Mansion to live.

Although Hu Yang has been decided, he is indeed relieved.

Just as He Yi was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of Suo Suo outside the door.

He Yi was stunned suddenly, and when he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, the sound of Sisuo suddenly broke off.

He frowned slightly, looked at Aunt Luan and Zhou Chun again, and saw that they didn't notice it, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, got up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll come when I go out." ”

His gaze was gentle, but the moment he turned his back, his whole face suddenly turned cold.
