Chapter Eighty-Eight: Irrigation
(Spring Festival water chapter, to be made up tomorrow)
The county lord was about to get up and leave the room, but after the second sentence of the python suit man sounded, the little girl who was given the name Fu Xiaobao by her grandfather sat there calmly again.
Grabbing the green pears that had been cleaned by the maid more than ten times in the brocade plate next to him, Fu Xiaobao glanced at Gu Yu, and said while chewing: "Come, talk about it." ”
Gu Yu's lips opened slightly, and his expression was a little hesitant.
The python-robed man who had always stood beside Fu Xiaobao smiled, stood up with his hands in his hands, and said, "What to do in front of the county lord, just speak bluntly." ”
Gu Yu's expression slowed slightly, nodded, and said with a fist: "Returning to Lord Chu, Lord Fu, I am under orders..."
Before he could continue to speak, a burly man's shout suddenly sounded, "Kneel!"
Standing behind Fu Xiaobao, the leader surnamed Ye looked at Gu Yu who had already been frightened and silent, "Three etiquettes and six ceremonies, Chu Yuan didn't teach you this dog-legged to see the emperor's relatives, do you want to kneel and talk?"
Gu Yu immediately bent his knees, and said with a panicked face: "I have no intention of offending the county lord, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." ”
With that, the man bowed his head to the ground and knelt down.
Ye Qing glanced at Chu Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, the latter still maintained a negative posture, and said with a pleasant expression: "Fang Cai's first sentence is wrong, since seeing the county lord is like seeing the emperor, it is right to call the county lord first and then call me." ”
After thinking about it, the man called out to the old man who had been standing on the door screen, "Master Cao." ”
The old man held his breath and stood by.
Chu Yuan left Fu Xiaobao's side, walked to Gu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, personally helped him up, and said with a smile: "Gu Yu Immortal Master is tired of running back and forth, go and bring a chair for Gu Yu Immortal Master, let him sit on the chair and sort out his thoughts, and then talk well." ”
Master Cao nodded, took two steps back and left the room.
Being helped up, Gu Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, but this time the salute was obviously aimed at the girl on the side first.
Fu Xiaobao carried the pear handle, took out one hand and plucked her ear, she didn't think about it so much, but Ye Qing's abrupt shout behind her really startled her.
After about half a cup of tea, Master Cao led in a subordinate who was holding a round stool and chair in his hand.
Chu Yuan turned around, walked to the side of the seat where Fu Xiaobao was sitting, and sat down, raising his eyes to look at Gu Yu who was sitting precariously.
This time he didn't come to the door to report this time, so this time he went to Qingyun County to ask about the Qingyun Sect, and he felt that nine times out of ten it was the result of no end.
Sitting on the chair, Gu Yu took a deep breath of cold air, trying his best to ensure that his words were clear, "Returning to the county lord of Fu, Lord Chu, my subordinates were originally ordered by the Nanlai Prefecture to go with Elder Zhang He of the Nanlai Prefecture to assist Qingyun County a few days ago, but there were some changes on the way, and now the subordinates are specially sent by Elder Zhang He to report to the Lord Chu of the Nanlai Prefecture Mansion. ”
Chu Yuan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Gu Yu didn't dare to look at the face of the woman surnamed Fu, and lowered his head and said: "I just arrived in Qingyun County, and when I was about to go to the Hou Mansion to obtain evidence of the crime, I unfortunately encountered a senior immortal, and one of the immortal masters in our company, coincidentally, unintentionally offended this senior immortal, resulting in... As a result, my junior brother was abolished. ”
Chu Yuan blinked, and his mind sank suddenly.
He eased his tone and said, "I don't know if this immortal senior mentioned by Gu Yu Immortal Master is famous?"
Being able to meet a Mahayana Immortal in Qingyun County, Chu Yuan had never expected this, but when he chose to listen to the words, he couldn't hear from Gu Yu's mouth that this Shangxian had a direct relationship with the Qingyun Sect, in other words, the things he reported didn't seem to have so much information in it.
The traces of the Mahayana immortals are comparable to rare, which is indeed true, but saying some useless words to prevaricate the Nanlai Prefecture Mansion is a little uncomfortable for Chu Yuan.
As if to understand Lord Chu's expression, Gu Yu swallowed his throat and continued: "Back to Lord Chu, that woman has never revealed her name, but in the Hou Mansion where we went to collect evidence, one of the family members surnamed Hou is the apprentice of this Shang Immortal, and the Immortal Master of Nanzi Mansion has his legs abolished, and there is a high probability that it is because my junior brother Banmen got an axe and deliberately provoked the Hou family, which made the immortal master apprentice unhappy. ”
Throwing away the green pear that was gnawed in his hand and only had the pear core left, Fu Xiaobao shook the water stains between his fingers and teased: "Take the blame on yourself." ”
Chu Yuan also smiled, "In that case, what about your injured junior brother?"
Gu Yu thought seriously for a moment and replied, "My junior brother, on the way back, was killed by another immortal senior. ”
Sitting on the chair, Chu Yuan leaned forward slightly, and his words were extremely clear, "What did you say?!, another immortal?"
Gu Yu stopped talking and nodded.
The girl who was protected by the two commanders in front of her was shocked, and her mouth opened widely, "Since there are two Mahayana immortals in Qingyun County, why don't I know?"
With that, the girl turned her head to look behind her.
The two commanders looked at each other and shook their heads together to indicate that they didn't know.
Chu Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, and said slowly: "It should be that these two immortals happened to travel to Qingyun County..."
Before the python-robed man began to comfort himself, on the other side, Gu Yu threw out another bombshell, "This Mahayana Immortal who killed our Southern Purple Mansion Immortal Master is a friend of Lord Chen Liujia Chen in Qingyun County. ”
The python-robed man immediately gasped, "Is this news reliable?"
Gu Yu nodded, and said in a serious voice: "I have seen this immortal man in the Qingyun County Government Mansion with my own eyes, and at first this immortal deliberately concealed his cultivation, so I don't know." ”
Chu Yuan thought for a moment and didn't rush to speak.
He explored Qingyun County by himself and recommended Chen Liujia to take up the post of county magistrate of Qingyun County, Chen Liujia would not know the meaning, but since Chen Liujia had a Mahayana immortal as a friend, why did he insist on asking the Nanlai Prefecture Government to send an immortal master to assist him?
Could it be that your mind has been clarified by insight?
The python-robed man frowned, and his face began to cloud.
Inside the wing, the atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.
The Bachelor Cao, who didn't look old at all, said in a deep voice: "Gu Immortal Master, if you have any other information, please let us know. ”
Gu Yu nodded and said, "At that time, in Lord Chen's mansion, in addition to the immortal man as a guest, there were also two immortal masters who also stayed in Chen's mansion, and these two immortal masters were still from Qingyun Sect. ”
Hearing the three words of Qingyun Sect, Fu Xiaobao moved his body and came with a little interest.
Seeing that the man in the python robe didn't say anything, Gu Yu said a piece of news that he thought was good news, "I don't know the names of the two Immortal Seniors below, but I still know the names of the two Qingyun Sect Immortal Masters below." ”
Fu Xiaobao looked at Gu Yu, "Come, let's hear it." ”
Gu Yu nodded and replied, "Back to the county lord, the two Qingyun Sect Immortal Masters are divided into one big and one small, the older one is named Fang Aotian, and the younger one is named Fang Cheng. ”
"Fang Cheng?!" the girl immediately stood up.
Gu Yu hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Back to the county lord, the little one is indeed called Fang Cheng." ”
Fu Xiaobao showed a thoughtful look, but compared to Chu Yuan, who was silent in the seat next to her, what the girl thought was a little simpler.
Staring at the man in front of her, she said, "Is there any injury on that little immortal master?"
Gu Yu thought about it for a moment, "In the past few days in the Chen Mansion, I haven't seen that little immortal master injured. ”
The girl nodded with satisfaction and sat back in her chair, "Then do you know why this Fang Cheng Little Immortal Master came to Qingyun County, and then why he lived in the official mansion?"
Gu Yu shook his head, "I don't have much contact with that little immortal master, and I don't know so much about that little immortal master. ”
The girl pursed her lips and muttered, "I don't know if you ask three questions, what kind of immortal master are you cultivating?"
Gu Yu was dumbfounded, a little at a loss.
He was a little puzzled now, how could this county lord be so concerned about a little immortal master, could it be that the county lord also knew that Fang Aotian Gongzi was a divine beast? But since he knew, why didn't he ask the pretty man directly, but kept asking the young immortal master. Gu Yu didn't think that the words of the girl in front of her were a move to avoid suspicion, the entire Fuhua territory belonged to the girl's family, and it was still necessary to cover up in her own home, not like the style of the emperor's relatives.
"Chu Yuan..."The girl turned her head and looked to the side.
Hearing this, the man in the python robe eased his face and said with a smile: "What did the county lord call me?"
Fu Xiaobao smiled: "You asked me to stay and listen, just to listen to this?"
Chu Yuan smiled and said: "The county lord is a little restless, Xia Guan originally wanted to let the county lord listen to something about the Nanlai Prefecture Mansion's coordination with Qingyun County to question the Qingyun Sect, but this Gu Immortal Master has his tongue and ears, you see, what are you saying." ”
After saying that, the man in the python robe glanced at Gu Yu, who immediately lowered his head and stammered.
"Eh, no, I still listen to it quite useful," Fu Xiaobao smiled.
Indeed, she was quite happy to hear the news that Fang Cheng was still idle to jump out of the sect.
The man in the python robe didn't care, and said: "The county lord is merciful to the people, and it is for great blessing." ”
Fu Xiaobao pursed his lips, "Okay, okay, don't shoot the sycophants, if you want to get down to business, let him say it." ”
Chu Yuan smiled and turned his head to look at Gu Yu, "The county lord has spoken, you have to weigh it carefully." ”
As forgiven on the ground, Gu Yu's face was embarrassed, and he said bluntly: "Back to the county lord, Lord Chu, I have never climbed Qingyun Mountain with Elder Zhang He and asked Qingyun Sect to blame Qingyun Sect, so some straightforward news about Qingyun Sect has never been known below!"
Fu Xiaobao waved his hand, "I always heard you say that you asked the Qingyun Sect about the Qingyun Sect, what did the Qingyun Sect do? I was in the Qingyun Sect, why didn't I know?"
Without waiting for Gu Yu to answer, Chu Yuan, who was sitting next to the girl, immediately spoke: "The county lord doesn't know anything about this, the things committed by the Qingyun Sect are extremely obscure, and if they are not confidential personnel in the sect, they will not generally know about it." ”
Fu Xiaobao was a little puzzled, and then smiled undeniably.
