Volume 1 Chapter 42 Seek help from the sea
As soon as Mo Jing woke up, he felt Gu Xiao's aura, which was too close. Out of instinct, he suddenly jumped up and hit Gu Xiao's head with a palm.
From waking up to attacking, it took less than a breath. Gu Xiao had no time to react and only felt a fatal breath of death.
"snort!"
Just when Mo Jing's palm was less than an inch away from Gu Xiao's head, after a cold snort, Mo Jing's body flew out and hit the wall hard.
It was only then that Gu Xiao reacted and broke into a cold sweat!
"Little guy, you are really..."
Hearing Huo Feng's voice, Gu Xiao was excited and quickly raised his hands to Huo Feng and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me."
"No need!" Huo Feng waved his hand, with a half-smile on his face: "Do you know you're afraid now?"
this……
Gu Xiao's mouth twitched, looking embarrassed.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Gu Xiao coughed twice and looked at Mo Jing who was slowly getting up, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Inspector Mo, it's not appropriate for you to kill someone when we first meet, isn't it?!"
Hearing Gu Xiao's voice, Mo Jing endured the severe pain all over his body, raised his hand to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Gu Xiao coldly.
But as soon as his eyes fell on Gu Xiao, he was attracted by the fiery red fire phoenix beside Gu Xiao. When he tilted his head, Mo Jing's expression suddenly changed.
Shock, horror, fear, caution, many complexities.
As if aware of Mo Jing's gaze, Huofeng curled up his lips with a hint of disdain, raised his hand and waved lightly, Mo Jing's bamboo hat immediately split into two and fell to both sides, revealing Mo Jing's face.
It wasn't until the bamboo hat fell to the ground that Mo Jing reacted. His complex expression turned into horror, and he took two steps back, staring at the fire phoenix without moving.
With a casual wave of his hand, he cut through the bamboo hat without any breath, but did not hurt anyone at all. Mo Jing had never heard of such a method!
But Huo Feng just stood there, showing no momentum at all, but it made his soul feel the deepest fear!
The only thing that can make even the eighth level of supernatural powers feel fear is the Taoist platform!
But Huo Feng's appearance is only two decades old...
"Ahem! Inspector Mo, I'm asking you something!"
Hearing Gu Xiao's voice, Mo Jing trembled all over and subconsciously looked at Gu Xiao. It was at this glance that the terrible pressure disappeared.
"Who the hell are you?!"
It was just five words, but each word had a vibrato. It was obviously a question, but it sounded like begging for mercy. Gu Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
But Gu Xiao soon came back to his senses, looked at the frightened Mo Jing, and after a moment's thought, he understood the true meaning of Mo Jing's question.
Just as he was about to speak, Gu Xiao's expression suddenly changed.
The golden ring with lotus stems was an annual tribute from the Yue Kingdom to the Great Xia Dynasty. Hiding it secretly was a death penalty, and Mo Jing already knew that he had taken the golden ring with lotus stems.
No matter how loyal Mo Jing is to the Yue royal family, as an inspector, he will definitely report this matter to the Yue royal family.
Although he didn't care about offending the Yue royal family, it would definitely be a big trouble.
The best way to eliminate this trouble is to ask Huofeng to take action now, kill Mo Jing, silence him, and solve the problem from the root.
But he has no grudge against Mo Jing, and he is not a murderous person.
Moreover, Mo Jing was originally the patrol officer investigating Jin Huan Bing Ti Lian, and he disappeared inexplicably, which might cause a big disturbance in the entire Yue Kingdom.
If Mo Jing had some backup plan and found out about Gu Xiao, he would probably not be able to live in peace for the next few years.
Killing is impossible. The best way now is to break Mo Jing's psychology while Mo Jing is frightened by the fire phoenix.
"Ahem! It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your current situation."
Gu Xiao said the word "situation" very seriously. Mo Jing was not stupid, so he naturally understood it and couldn't help but lower his head and began to ponder.
After a while, Mo Jing took a deep breath and didn't know what he was thinking about. The previous negative emotions completely disappeared from his face.
"When a man is born in this world, he is expected to be poor and humble, and strong and unyielding. Now that Mo is not strong enough, he falls into your hands. You can kill or behead him, please do as you please!"
this……
The corner of Gu Xiao's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
Mo Jing's words were so righteous and impassioned that even Gu Xiao felt as if he had become a villain.
"In that case, there's no need to talk nonsense."
Gu Xiao was thinking about what to say, but Huo Feng spoke, and after speaking, his face turned cold, showing a strong pressure.
Although the target was Mo Jing, Gu Xiao was right next to him. He immediately felt the pressure and his heart twitched immediately.
You must know that Huofeng is a descendant of the Holy Spirit, and his code of conduct is to eat the weak and the strong, and he does not care about the so-called morality between humans.
"Senior, please don't..."
Gu Xiao had just opened his mouth to persuade, but Huo Feng had already taken action, waving his hand and volleying. Mo Jing was sent away without even having time to react, and fell to the ground motionless.
Gu Xiao's expression immediately changed and he stepped forward.
"Don't worry, I just knocked him out."
After hearing what Huofeng said, Gu Xiaocai paused and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he held his forehead and felt a headache again.
This Mo Jing can't be killed, and he can't be released. He is completely a hot potato!
Seeing the confusion on Gu Xiao's face, Huofeng shook his head speechlessly, stretched out his hand to cut through the void, then sucked at Mo Jing, and finally threw it into the void.
"Little guy, if you are too kind, you will suffer big losses in the end."
After Huofeng finished speaking, he ignored Gu Xiao, turned around and left directly, leaving Gu Xiao in a daze.
After a long while, Gu Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Is that too kind..."
After muttering something, Gu Xiao sighed again.
Just now, he suddenly thought that Mo Jing was sent to investigate the theft of the golden ring and lotus, and that Yan Qili was the one who guarded the theft of the golden ring and lotus.
After all, paper can't cover up the fire. Sooner or later, the Yue royal family will learn about this matter, and the Yan family will sell him sooner or later in order to protect themselves.
If he had been more ruthless that day and killed people like the Yan family at the risk of serious injuries, even if Mo Jing disappeared inexplicably, there would be no investigation into his head.
The handling of this matter was indeed not very pretty, and now we are in this embarrassing situation.
But the matter has come to this, there is no point in regretting, we can only take one step at a time.
The most important thing is to improve your cultivation and not slack off.
If he had the ability of Fire Phoenix, there would be no need to worry about this. Gu Xiao rubbed his forehead, adjusted his mentality, and continued to practice.
Three days later, Gu Xiao finished practicing and was in a good mood.
Because he almost spent all his savings and exchanged a lot of elixirs with strong spiritual energy, and finally broke through the barrier of the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
After the breakthrough, Gu Xiao intuitively felt that if he used the sword to open the galaxy again, he would be able to kill Yan Zhiwen, and he would even have some strength left!
I just don’t know if I can fight against someone with the third or fourth level of magical power.
After thinking about it, Gu Xiao curled up his lips and walked towards Cheng Qinghe's room with a bad smile.
But he didn't go far when he bumped into Cheng Qinghe head-on. Gu Xiao's face lit up and he was about to ask for a discussion.
"My little friend, I just want to see you for something."
Before Gu Xiao could speak, Cheng Qinghe spoke first. Gu Xiao couldn't help but be startled, and then his face lit up again as if he thought of something.
"Has the elixir been prepared?"
Pill?
Cheng Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then realized and shook his head: "That's not true, alchemy is a delicate job, it can't be that fast, but I guess it's about the same."
Gu Xiao nodded, but at the same time he was confused: "If it's not a pill, what is it?"
"Oh, yes, there was a man in the front hall just now who was acting aggressively and yelling that he wanted to see you."
Um?
Gu Xiao couldn't help but frown, becoming even more confused.
"The man's name seems to be Yu...Yu..."
After a long while, Cheng Qinghe didn't say his name, but Gu Xiao seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively: "Is it called Yu Hai?"
"Yes, his name is Yu Hai! Do you know this person, little friend?"
Gu Xiao nodded, and at the same time he had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly asked Cheng Qinghe to bring him here.
After a while, Gu Xiao saw Yu Hai, and the moment Yu Hai saw Gu Xiao, he knelt down in front of Gu Xiao, which stunned Gu Xiao and Cheng Qinghe.
"Uncle Yu, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Gu Xiao quickly stepped forward to help Yu Hai, but as soon as his hand touched Yu Hai, Yu Hai immediately broke away.
"Mr. Gu, please save Xiao Fei and Nuan Nuan!"
After saying that, Yu Hai kowtowed to Gu Xiao three times, which startled Gu Xiao. He quickly went to help him: "Uncle Yu, don't get excited yet. Get up and speak slowly."
"If you don't agree, I won't get up!" Yu Hai shook his head firmly, and it was nailed to the ground like lead. Gu Xiao actually didn't pull it for a while.
Yu Hai's stubbornness left Gu Xiao very speechless. In the end, he had no choice but to persuade him. It took a long time to calm Yu Hai's emotions and pull Yu Hai up from the ground.
"Uncle Yu, what happened to the two sisters?"
Gu Xiao's question made Yu Haigang's calmed emotions become agitated again, but at least he did not kneel down again and tell the story.
It turned out that during the official battle that day, Ji Fei took Yu Hai and Ji Nuannuan on a carriage to escape. However, after escaping halfway, Ji Fei got out of the carriage and took the two of them to hide in a ruined temple.
It took half a month, and after Yu Hai's injury was no longer serious, the three of them returned to Yukang City. But as soon as they arrived in Yukang City, they saw the Lin family's wanted order for Gu Xiao.
At that time, the three people thought that because of their relationship, Gu Xiao was implicated, so they went to report the matter to the official, hoping to avenge Gu Xiao.
But this was a Jianghu matter, and the government did not want to take care of it. They just asked Lin Jingyun for a symbolic inquiry, but this also exposed the whereabouts of the three people.
That night, Lin Jingyun came to the door. She happened to be overseas that day. When she returned, she found that the two sisters had been captured by Lin Jingyun and taken back to the Lin family.
Yu Hai was anxious, but he also knew that he was alone and had no way to deal with the Lin family. At this time, he thought of Gu Xiao.
After asking around, we learned that Gu Xiao might be in Jubaoxuan for emergency treatment, so he came to Jubaoxuan to try his luck.
"Mr. Gu, I am begging you. If you can save Xiao Fei and Nuan Nuan, my life will be yours, Mr. Gu!"
