Chen Shou began to pace around the room, holding his chest with his left hand and pinching his chin with his right hand, completely unaware of the passage of time......

First of all, Chen Shou was completely sure that Qiu Guo was a normal person. Although she was a little colder, she occasionally laughed under his influence, and she would even talk to the birds in the trees when no one was around, and such a person's masochistic surname may be quite small.

Then, Chen Shou also ruled out the possibility that Qiu Guo was practicing some kind of evil sect exercises, because those scars were simple scars, which would block the flow of blood, but not stop the demonic power. The most important thing is that the autumn fruit is obviously only the strength of the qi refining period, and it has not changed at all in the past half a year.

It's not self-abuse, it's not cultivating evil skills, and then it's a possible surname that Chen Shou doesn't want to accept at all: those scars are the ones she was beaten every time she went home!

At least seventy percent of the time it is likely to be so! Her faint bitterness that cannot be concealed is explained by this.

In the past six months, she has actually lived a life of being whipped every three days? Looking at those whip marks, I just want her life! If it weren't for the fact that she was in the Qi refining period and had a certain amount of resilience, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago, right?

At that moment, Chen Shou suddenly had the urge to hit the wall, because in the past six months, when Qiuguo was living a life of being beaten every three days, what was he doing?

Chen Shou became angry all of a sudden, not only blaming himself, but also hating the culprit behind it!

Chen Shou clenched his fists, already squeaking, and squeezed word by word from his mouth: "You'd better give me a reason not to kill you!"

Now he was afraid that Qiu Guo's injuries were caused by very special and strange circumstances, and even unavoidable, such as that she was suffering from a hidden illness and had to rely on regular whipping to divert the pain, in which case his anger would become very funny.

Therefore, his immediate priority is to confirm the real cause of Qiuguo's whiplash, and then make a decision.

Chen Shou couldn't sleep at all that night, and his surname Suo stopped sleeping, and meditated in bed until dawn.

The next morning, when he saw Qiuguo again, he tried a lot to hide his emotions, but Qiuguo still found out that something was wrong.

"Lord Chen, are you not feeling well?" asked Qiuguo with concern during the meal.

After living together for more than half a year, Qiu Guo is about to treat him as a family member, and he will show his concern for him under special circumstances, just like now.

Chen Shou really wanted to ask Qiu Guo directly, but with Qiu Guo's surname, there would be no good results.

Trying to squeeze out a smile, Chen Shou shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired." ”

"Then I'll make soup at noon and send it to Lord Chen. Qiuguo is still doing her duty.

"No, thank you. By the way, you have to go home tonight, right?"

As soon as he heard the word "go home", Qiu Guo's concern for Chen Shou immediately disappeared, and he nodded and pretended to be calm: "Hmm." ”

"Maybe you can come back a little earlier tonight, can you wait for me to come back before leaving?" I can see you off. ”

Qiu Guo's face showed a hint of panic, but he immediately hid it and quickly said, "No." I'll make a meal for you to heat up, and you'll be ready to eat when you come back, and I'll clean up the dishes when I get back." ”

Qiu Guo has always been a very stable girl, and the reaction at this time fell in Chen Shou's eyes, which made Chen Shou more sure of his speculation.

"Okay then, you can go back early after you help me cook dinner, you don't have to wait for me. ”

"Hmm. ”

After breakfast, Chen Shou frowned as soon as he went out, because he estimated that he would have to be busy until late at night tonight, but he didn't even know where Qiuguo's home was, if he didn't follow her, how could he touch the door to find out about it?

On the one hand, he is on official business, and he must not be able to get rid of it, and the position of Xuanwu Lieutenant is really the foundation of all the benefits he has received so far, even including living under the same roof as Qiu Guo;

At this time, Chen Shou was eager to be able to do the doppelganger technique, one was in office, and the other was to investigate the affairs of Qiuguo, but how could that kind of high-level supernatural power be mastered by him, a small Jindan stage monk......

Flying and flying, Chen Shou couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, in this Xuandu Purple Mansion, which lieutenant doesn't have a confidant, he does big things by himself, and he directly asks his henchmen and subordinates to do it for him. But he's good, because he was admitted exceptionally, he didn't have a three-year buffer period at all, and he has been improving his strength since he came, and so far he doesn't even have a henchman! If there is, like the situation in front of him, at least he can share some of it, right?

"Damn, it's not as good as some assessors!" Chen Shou couldn't help but complain.

After more than a month as a training officer, he had a general understanding of the situation of those examiners. Although those guys have to pass the assessment to become lieutenants, there are many sons and young masters in the big lords, these people simply came with their families and servants, and there are people waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse to do anything!

"Well, I can't go on my own anymore, just write a letter and ask the Great Elder to send me someone. Chen Shou quickly had a plan and muttered in a low voice.

However, although there are people in the Aoshan Gou Chen clan, he is afraid that it will take at least a few months to work hard to go back and forth, and far water will not quench his thirst, so his current problem can only be solved by himself......

Wait a minute!

Really no good helper?

Even if it was two days ago, Chen Shou might not be able to find someone, but since yesterday, there have actually been several potential candidates!

It was the same eight people who came yesterday afternoon!

They are the people of the city who were temporarily recruited, and they haven't even stepped into the threshold of the Xuandu Purple Mansion, so naturally there are no factions. And they wish they could get a proper job in the Xuandu Purple Mansion, even if they are just running errands and doing rough work, they are grateful, but they are worried that there is no way! At this time, if he throws an olive branch to them, they still have to swear allegiance to the death?

It's no different from stuffing a steamed bun into the hand of a starving beggar and saying, "Follow me, I'll introduce you to another job, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future", right?

Of course, the other party may also be a white-eyed wolf, but isn't there eight people, Chen Shou still has to choose! Right now, he actually only needs to find the one with the best character from those eight people.

Thinking of this, Chen Shou finally felt a little more excited, he felt that he still grasped the psychology of those eight young people. They were all longing for an opportunity, and he had such an opportunity in his hands! As a lieutenant, he had the power to recruit his subordinates!

Every extra day, Qiuguo will have to suffer for one more day, so the sooner you find your henchmen, the better, and then you can not delay!

During the day, in addition to working normally, Chen Shou had been paying close attention to the eight people. Since Lu Luo was the only one by his side, he naturally observed Lu Luo the most.

He asked casually, and then set the young man's bottom line almost the same, this year seventeen, his parents opened a small shop in the city, both of them are a kind of demon incarnation called Tugui Demon who is good at escaping. Although he was only seventeen years old, this Lu Luo was already at the realm of the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he was a little talented in cultivation. In addition to her parents, there is a little sister in the family, who is ten years old this year, and it is the time of innocence.

Lu Luo has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, learns very quickly when he works, and is very respectful to Chen Shou in his words and deeds, which is really very attractive. The most rare thing is that he has always been neither humble nor arrogant when dealing with the people in the city, and he is very patient.

Naturally, everyone will try to behave better at this time, what Chen Shou saw may not be their real surname, but a small detail in the afternoon made Chen Shou completely approve of Lu Luo.

That detail was really a "fine" section, Chen Shou and Lu Luo were in the house at that time, Chen Shou was checking the account books with his back to Lu Luo, at least on the surface, he didn't have time to look at Lu Luo.

Lu Luo carried a roll of bamboo mats to pile up the debris by the wall, but the mat accidentally rolled down, but fortunately, Lu Luo was quick and used his body to squeeze the half-unfolded mat on the debris pile.

Next, it is said that Lu Luo rolled up the mat and put it back carefully, but since the mat was already half unfolded, Lu Luo could naturally see the situation on the mat. Xing glanced at it completely unconsciously, but he saw that a bamboo straw on the bamboo mat was really a place, and a few thin thorns were separated. The bamboo straw was already very thin, and the thorns that were separated were naturally thinner, almost soft, and it didn't hurt at all, but Lu Luo still reached out and carefully removed it. This was not the end, Lu Luo simply spread out the mat completely, carefully examined it carefully before putting it back again, and finally smiled contentedly.

It was this smile that made Chen Shou give up his plan to find someone else, and decided to choose Lu Luo. This young man is really a simple person, and he still has good thoughts. It's hard to say what will happen when he grows up, but Chen Shou is fully confident that he will lead this young man in a good direction.

It's just that the things that are about to be handed over to this young man are really not simple, but a little dark......
