Inside the ice wall, Xiao Zheng gasped slightly.

He didn't know why there was a wall of ice rising on the ground in front of him, but since the ice wall was formed, there was no movement outside the door.

Xiao Zheng also tried to use his cultivation divine sense to probe the external situation at first, but as soon as his divine sense hit the ice wall, it was like touching an impermeable steel plate, and he couldn't penetrate the slightest, so he simply gave up.

At least, with this ice wall, he and the Hou Mansion are safe now.

Xiao Zheng gave up, and was just about to turn around, when a mighty pressure came through the ice wall, overwhelming himself.

But after a while, the coercion was gone.

Xiao Zheng looked at the ice wall in a daze, and his heart was even more uneasy than the moment of life and death just now.

Who the hell is outside the door!

Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps reached my ears.

Xiao Zheng, who was nervous, turned his head suddenly, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the appearance of the comer.

It was the little girl who Hou Min took down the mountain a few days ago, and Hou Baojun, the youngest daughter of the Hou family, who had a relationship.

But isn't this little girl already back to Qingyun Sect?

Xiao Zheng looked at Hou Baojun and said with a solemn face: "Haven't you already returned to Qingyun Sect? Why are you still here! Hurry up and find your eldest brother! Get out of here quickly!"

Hou Baojun shook his head and ran forward to help Xiao Zheng, "Elder Xiao, don't worry, my master has come to the rescue." ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Hou Baojun in surprise, "Master, which elder of Qingyun Sect has come over?"

Hou Baojun was speechless.

Xiao Zheng turned his head and glanced at the ice wall that sealed the entrance again, didn't he hear that there were people in the Qingyun Sect who would make this immortal method? Could it be the old ancestor Qingyunzi?

Hou Baojun was silent for a moment, and said with a natural expression: "Elder Xiao should withdraw and rest first, it is enough to have my master outside the door, as for who my master is, Xiao... Elder Xiao will know in a moment. ”

Hou Baojun helped Xiao Zheng, who was wounded, to walk into the mansion.

The old man walked with a spear and pestle in one hand, "Does your eldest brother know that you are still here?"

Hou Baojun nodded, "As soon as I arrived at the Hou Mansion, I found my eldest brother first, and they are all waiting for you to go back safely in the inner courtyard." ”

The pale-faced old man squeezed out a smile, then remembered something and asked, "That coercion just now?"

Hou Baojun just looked at the road under his feet, "My master's." ”

The old man almost fell.

"That's fine..."

——

Zhao Zhi squinted at Zhang He.

Zhang He didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and being able to be looked at by an immortal-level monk and immortal master at least showed that he could enter his eyes.

Maintaining a courteous posture, Zhang He waited for a reply.

Zhao Zhi thought for a moment and looked away, "My apprentice is from the Hou Mansion, and I just came to visit my apprentice today." ”

Zhang He's face was overjoyed, and his body became more and more curved, "I didn't know that the ancestors of the Shangxian had apprentices in this mansion, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, but fortunately, the Shangxian took action to stop it in time, so as to avoid an unnecessary embarrassment." ”

Zhao Zhi didn't seem to hear it, and said leisurely: "What is the account book you said?"

Zhang He got up and said respectfully: "The ancestors of the immortals don't know, we are on the official order of the Nanlai Prefecture Government, and we came to Qingyun County to assist Lord Chen in dealing with a crime of evading taxes from the Fuhua Dynasty in the county.

After thinking about it, Zhang He said again: "The junior got a message yesterday, about the detailed account books on the transaction between Qingyun Sect and Qingyun County, somehow it fell to the Hou family, the younger generation was afraid, and immediately followed Lord Chen to the Hou Mansion, sure enough, there was a person from the Qingyun Sect in the Hou Mansion, and the younger generation was worried that the Hou Mansion might be controlled by the Qingyun Sect now!"

During the speech, Zhang He had been observing the woman in white in front of him, but in the end, he did not have the look of hope.

Zhao Zhi just smiled, "Oh?

Zhang He tightened his throat and said with a straight face: "Regard the law as nothing, such a mentality, the seniors must not guard against it!"

Zhao Zhi stood on the steps, looking at the back of the crowd.

Without the coercion of his body, as soon as he stood up, Chen Liujia was startled, and immediately pulled up Sun Ce, who was squatting on the ground.

Chen Liujia, who was powerless, found that he couldn't pull this person.

Sun Ce was stunned, his face was strange, "Are you a mess, when I am a yellow flower girl, what about pulling the bed curtain here?"

Chen Liujia hurriedly shook his head, and said with a nervous expression: "The female fairy master asked me to step forward." ”

Sun Ce glanced at Chen Liujia, "Then what are you pulling me for?"

Chen Liujia used his hands to pull this man who was as heavy as a sinking stone, like pulling out a weeping willow, "The fairy said, let me take you." ”

Sun Ce pursed his lips, stood up, and walked through the crowd to the steps.

Chen Liujia lost his strength and sat on the ground.

Hurriedly got up, without complaining, Chen Liujia followed.

Walking up the steps, Chen Liujia looked at Zhao Zhi with a dry smile.

Sun Ce looked at the eaves above his head with his arms crossed, as if he was studying its structural materials.

Zhang He was silent and glanced at the burly man who had no respect.

In front of the immortals, he dared to pose a score, and he really thought that his Jin Dan was invincible.

Zhao Zhi glanced at Sun Ce, turned to Chen Liujia and asked, "Lord Chen of Qingyun County?"

Chen Liujia was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Immortal master carries love, if it is appropriate, just call Chen as a junior." ”

Zhao Zhiwan said with a smile: "Lord Chen, I don't know what this Immortal Master Zhang said just now, but it's true?"

Chen Liujia was speechless for a while.

This is really a hammer, when did you say that the Qingyun Sect was coercing the Hou Mansion? And the pills sold by the Qingyun Sect are lower than the price approved by the imperial court, how can they be scraped? It is simply for the benefit of the people. If it weren't for the fact that he was an official of the court, and he was directly ordered by the Nanlai Prefecture Government to thoroughly investigate the matter of this elixir, he would not be willing to meddle in such a good thing.

Chen Liujia glanced at Zhang He, who didn't seem to see his eyes, and lowered his head in thought.

Chen Liujia turned his head to look at Sun Ce beside him, and he also ignored himself.

After a battle between heaven and man, Chen Liujia said cautiously: "Immortal Master is not strange, Immortal Master Zhang has just arrived in Qingyun County, and he knows very little about the case of pill tax evasion, and his words are a little too self-interpreting, but the crime of tax evasion in Qingyun Sect is a sure fact, and all the charges are written in that account book!"

Zhang He raised his hand modestly, but he couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

Zhao Zhi nodded at Chen Liujia, "In that case, Lord Chen will follow me into the mansion to see if the account book is in the mansion." ”

With that, the ice wall melted away, revealing an empty porch.

Chen Liujia turned his head to look at Sun Ce, thought about it, and said loudly: "If I enter this Hou Mansion, nothing should happen, right?"

Sun Ce didn't look at Chen Liujia and shook his head.

Chen Liujia was stunned, I don't know if this is or not!

Seeing this, Zhao Zhi smiled, "It is said that the prime minister's stomach can support the boat, Lord Chen is so bold, it is a little aggrieved to be an official." ”

Chen Liujia smiled and said: "Life is at stake, and the younger generation does not dare to be abrupt." ”

Once you enter this Hou Mansion alone, it will not only be the success or failure of the account books, it is good to be an official, but it is a big bad thing to lose your life for the sake of an official.

Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I'll keep you fine." ”

Chen Liujiale laughed out loud and saluted, "Then there will be the senior of the Immortal Master." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded, turned around and stepped into the Hou Mansion first.

Chen Liujia adjusted the official hat on his head, his face was resolute, and he walked generously and entered the Hou Mansion.

——

Xiao Zheng, the fourth elder of the Qingyun Sect, with the support of Hou Baojun, finally walked to the inner courtyard of the back mansion.

When Hou Ping, who was walking back and forth, saw the old man, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and arranged for his subordinates to take him to the room for healing.

He didn't see the fight at the door before, but the old man's scarred body and faint wheezing sound were enough to prove the danger of this battle, and he dared to assert that if the old man hadn't resisted with all his might, he would have been a prisoner in Qingyun County by now.

Hou Ping was silent for a moment, and laughed at himself: "I should have gone to learn the immortal law in the first place, why should I learn this business?"

Hou Baojun rubbed his cheeks with his hands and muttered: "What's the use of learning the immortal method, there will be everything that should be there, and there will never be anything that shouldn't be." ”

Hou Ping listened to his sister's whispered muttering and frowned.

The last time Hou Baojun came to Qingyun County to find himself before he became an immortal master, he didn't have such an extreme temperament, and when he met again this time, except for the joy of meeting just now, the rest can be said to be all discouraged.

Hou Ping spoke up and comforted: "It's okay, my brother is here." ”

Just as he was about to reach out and touch Hou Baojun's immature face, a strange young woman appeared behind him.

The woman was dressed in white, and her graceful figure was like a weeping lotus.

Hou Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, disappreciating the woman's appearance.

Because he saw that behind the woman was a man named Chen Liujia.

Holding Hou Baojun to his side, Hou looked at the two calmly.
