Chapter 220: Undercurrents are surging
"Doctor Chen, what do you think we should do?"
At night, there are no stars and no moon, and the night is dark and the wind is high.
Chen Ziang's small pharmacy in Tongli Village was still burning with candles, and the dim light of the fire shone on the figures of several people in the house.
Several talkers in the village were gathered together at this time, looking at Chen Ziang, who was sitting in the middle with hope.
"You don't want to move out?"
Chen Ziang is still his usual dress, but no one dares to underestimate him at this time.
Compared with other ignorant villagers, they understand the meaning of innate real people better, although they are not land immortals, but there is no problem in preserving a small mountain village.
Of course, the premise is that they don't know that this Doctor Chen's enemies outside are not weak at all!
"Doctor Chen, where can you move? What's more, most of the people in the village are not young, and they can't help tossing anymore!"
Guo Tongli's face was a little pale, according to him, it was caused by the internal injuries he had suffered when he was young, and today he exerted too much force and the injuries recurred.
"Hmm!"
Chen Ziang nodded, and his heart was also a little sullen. Less than half a year of stable life has already made him accustomed to life here, let alone these old people who have lived here for decades?
"Mr. Li hasn't come back yet?"
Mr. Li Yun had already gone out of the mountain, saying that he was going to inquire about the news and solve the trouble.
"Come on! According to his footsteps, he should have come back a long time ago. ”
The stone blacksmith continued to smoke his dry cigarette, and his gray hair was covered with a layer of floating earth, which was caused by the burial of those brocade guards, and the butcher Hu had no corpse, so he could only burn it down and make an urn.
"It's coming!"
Chen Ziang clasped the table with his hand, and said, "I also brought someone back." ”
Li Yun did bring someone back, and he was still a brocade guard.
"Doctor Chen, this hundred families are named Zhuo Changru, but his family background is illustrious but not taken seriously, and joining Jinyiwei is also a mess. Lao Hu's matter here was discovered by one of his subordinates, and I have already solved that person. ”
Li Yun was holding a bowl of noodles, drinking the noodle soup while introducing the situation he had gone out to understand.
It seems that Li Yun's previous background was not simple, and he was extremely professional in inquiring about information, and there was no omission in all places. And the methods revealed when torturing the shadowless gun You Xiong are also very proficient, coupled with his top-notch light skills, people have to doubt his previous identity.
"According to the information I have checked, there are very few people who know about our village, and this subordinate of Baihu has been solved by me, and Sima Yu came with people on his back, and the people who came did not stay alive. So as long as we get rid of Zhuo Changru, we should be eighty percent sure that we won't be discovered. ”
Other uncertain reasons are naturally that Sima Yu left something behind or that the news hidden by others was not discovered by him.
"Then why did you bring him over, just kill him!"
The stone blacksmith frowned, and the smoking gun was no longer smoking, so he had to get up and solve this trouble.
"Blacksmith, don't worry! ”
Guo Tongli waved his hand, knowing that Li Yun would not kidnap a person for no reason. Zhuo Changru, who was tightly bound by a rope and stuffed with a piece of linen in his mouth, screamed even more.
"One of the reasons why I didn't kill him was because although this person was a brocade guard, he had a good reputation among the neighbors, and he was not a heinous person. The second is that I think it might be more useful to keep him. ”
Li Yun put down the noodle bowl in his hand and wiped the soup at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"If only this Zhuo Baihu could stand with us. In his capacity, we can not only have some understanding of the outside world, but there will also be no more things like today. ”
"Woo......"
Zhuo Changru on the ground over there nodded vigorously.
The other people were silent when they heard this, and finally Chen Ziang turned to look at Su Qiao'er who was sitting on the side.
"Qiao'er, help me get the myelin pill!"
"Hmm. ”
Su Qiao'er nodded meekly, got up and went to the backyard.
"My myelin extraction pill is actually an elixir for body refining, but there were some problems when I made it, if I didn't eat it for a while after eating it, the pain would be unbearable, and the pain would not be unbearable, I don't think anyone would be able to stand the pain. ”
Chen Ziang opened his mouth to explain lightly, and Zhuo Chang on the ground bowed as if his body, his eyes were full of horror.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if this Lord Baihu doesn't want to take it. ”
Li Yun stepped forward and pulled down the sackcloth in Zhuo Changru's mouth, and saw him nodding again and again, and said in his mouth: "I am willing, I am willing!"
After taking the pill and being stimulated by Chen Ziang, Zhuo Changru completely took it after suffering a second sin.
Since that day, the village has once again regained its tranquility, but with some differences.
For example, there is an ancestral hall in the village, which was built by everyone in the village, and there is only one tablet for one person, and there is only one surname Hu, but no name.
The villagers also had a little more respect when they saw Village Chief Guo again, and although Dr. Chen's pharmacy still went when he was sick, there were fewer chattering people to visit.
In addition, the children in the village all entered Mr. Li's private school, and two of them even studied with a stone blacksmith to learn the craft of making iron tools. Of course, the stone blacksmith doesn't mind teaching them some kung fu if they learn it.
The merchant Zhao Xiaoer died, but the new merchant was a hundred-household adult, and compared to Zhao Xiaoer, who only came once every two months, Zhuo Baihu was much more diligent, and would pull his donkey cart to appear on the mountain road every half month.
Today, Zhuo Baihu came to Tongli Village again, distributed the things brought by the villagers, and said goodbye to Village Chief Guo with a handful of copper coins.
Because he came back a little late, it was already dark when he got home, so Zhuo Changru carefully put the donkey cart and stretched his muscles and walked towards his bedroom.
As soon as he took two steps, Zhuo Changru's body suddenly froze, and he whispered to the house: "Who is it?"
"Haha...... , good old Zhuo, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your vigilance is still there!"
In the midst of laughter, the door was opened from the inside, and a large man with a sturdy figure walked out of the room, his face was full of straight and stiff stubble, his long unkempt hair was tied with a rope at will, and under the gray cloth was the muscular and muscular body.
"Old Willow!"
Zhuo Changru's eyes lit up, he also laughed, stretched out his arms, and hugged the visitor.
"I haven't seen you for five or six years, have you?
The old willow looked Zhuo Changru up and down, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you have a very moist life this day, but we military men can't compare!"
"What are you talking about, I would like to exchange with you, and follow General Zhao to make meritorious contributions, wouldn't it be much better than me eating here and waiting for death?"
Zhuo Changru pretended to be displeased, and waved his big hand and said: "You came here at a good time, I happen to have a few jars of good wine brewed by Dr. Chen here, you are blessed!"
That Lao Liu didn't say much, he knew that his brother was different from other wealthy children, he was a bold character, and immediately entered the room together, took wine and food and drank heartily.
Chatting and chatting, naturally talked about the war ahead.
"Since the battle of the Imperial Tomb last year, we have won big victories one after another, and the Wei Dynasty has even made even more stupid moves, changing generals before the battle. After our army captured Changzhou, it was even more than a few cities, if it weren't for the recent cold weather and difficult roads, we estimated that we would have laid down the Canglang River and approached Kyoto in the Wei Dynasty!"
Speaking of the front-line war, this old Liu became more and more interested, and kept talking about how General Zhao was wise and powerful, how he won a great victory, how cunning the Wei army was, but still could not escape General Zhao's eyes, and the enemy army was gradually wiped out.
"Hey, I can't go with you!"
The more Zhuo Changru listened, the more excited he became, but as soon as he remembered his identity, he was annoyed and kept pouring wine into his mouth.
"Lao Zhuo, drink slowly, leave me more, you can drink at any time anyway, why don't you take care of me?"
Lao Liu saw that Zhuo Changru kept drinking, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and opened his mouth to beg.
"What can be drunk at any time, I also have more than a month's weight!"
Zhuo Changru raised his eyebrows, his head was drunk, and his face was flushed.
"This wine is not ordinary, even the imperial wine in the capital may not be up to it, but the amount is too small, and I am an outsider, so it will take a long time to share a small jar. ”
"Why, I heard you, this wine is still rare?"
"Of course, if you were to grade the wine, it would definitely be the top one. That's why I said you're blessed, take the opportunity to drink it!"
Zhuo Changru burped and filled the other party.
"If you say that, I'm going to have to taste it even more. By the way, where did you buy this wine, can you let me bring some with you?"
Lao Liu asked while tasting wine.
"There's nothing to sell! The winemaker doesn't expect him to make money. ”
Zhuo Changru shook his head again and again, and kept silent under the other party's questioning, until the end of the day, the two talked about the seventh in the world in the army.
"Lu Daxia's legs are useless, but the skill of flying knives in one hand still makes people yearn for it! That day, he and the narrow road alone occupied the three innate real people and two battle formations of the Wei Dynasty, and he was still able to kill two innate people in a row and break the opponent's battle formation, and his power was undiminished!"
"Speaking of innate real people, have there been any new innate real people in the world in the past few years?"
Zhuo Changru had already fallen on the table, staring weakly at the wine glass in front of him.
"Yes! Liu Feifei, the contemporary show girl of Bixiu Pavilion, achieved congenital results last year, and the newly formed Wuyue Chaotian Pavilion also has two new congenitals, as well as ......."
Lao Liu talked eloquently, and Zhuo Changru suddenly said: "Is there a person surnamed Chen?
He only knew that Dr. Chen in the village was a congenital, but he didn't know Chen Ziang's name, and even if it was a person in the village, it was estimated that few people knew his full name.
"The surname Chen is not very old?"
Lao Liu laughed and said: "You really don't know if you ask others about this, but I happen to know a congenital real person named Chen Ziang, although he is young, but Lu Daxia said that this person's current kung fu may be able to catch up with the top ten masters in the world!"
"What!"
Zhuo Changru suddenly hit a spirit, sat up suddenly, looked directly at Lao Liu and said, "He can be compared to the top ten masters in the world?"
"Well, Lao Zhuo knows this Chen Daxia? He is a friend of Lu Daxia, and Lu Daxia has been looking for him?"
Lao Liu's face also moved.
In the capital, thousands of miles away from the quiet mountain village, an undercurrent is slowly surging at this time.
On the top of a large hall, even in the middle of the night, it is still illuminated by countless candles as if it were day.
Today's emperor of Southern Chu is lying softly on a Nine Dragons imperial couch, the emperor is not amazing, not outstanding, on the thin body is the scorched face, dim eyes, as if the essence in this body has been hollowed out.
"Your Majesty, the person who snatched the pill of Commander Lin back then has already been found. ”
Ji Shaoqin, who looked like a woman, knelt on the main hall and spoke loudly.
"Who is it?"
The emperor on the couch suddenly straightened his waist and shouted. But his thin body was inconspicuous on the huge couch, not only did he have no momentum, but he even made him even more small and thin.
"It's the people of the army!, they are under the command of General Zhao, and now they have not found out why they suddenly attacked Commander Lin, and caused the death of the two protectors of Xuanyin, and even half of Commander Lin's elixir was taken away!"
"Zhao Ping?"
The Emperor frowned.
"It is indeed the hand of the generals under Zhao Ping, but I am not sure if General Zhao knows it. ”
"Huh...... If he didn't know, how could the pill get into the hands of the third child? He had always wanted to make the third prince the prince!"
The emperor muttered to himself, and finally his face showed a hint of madness.
"They dare to do my life-saving elixir! They just want me to die! They just want me to die! They just want me to die early!"
The crazy roar reverberated back and forth in the silent palace, the torch swayed, and the figures of the two people in the shining hall were mottled and distorted, twisted and exaggerated, like two evil ghosts with teeth and claws!
