"You're really not greedy. I think Jiang Zhen gave me twelve gold bars. I think he wanted to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. But I got him an advantage and left a good reputation, so it's not a loss at all."
In the private room of the teahouse, the three Shenwuwei who had been observing silently on the river bank were drinking tea calmly and calmly.
The middle-aged man at the head looked at the information sent to him and couldn't help but laugh and joke.
The companions on both sides took a look at the information on the table and couldn't help laughing.
I saw that the information was densely packed with small characters, clearly describing what Jiang Zhen did today, how many times he went to the hut, and what complaints he said.
The details of its contents are probably even clearer than Jiang Zhen himself.
"Small cleverness! It's useless. If the saint hadn't suspected that someone was going to use his skills to attack the Wu family, the Jiang family would have killed everyone in this incident."
Ji Hongguang, the deputy chief of the Shenwu Guard on one side, snorted coldly. Jiang Zhen thought he was hiding well.
Little did they know, they had already figured out the situation in Yuyang City clearly before they arrived.
How could they not know what happened to Heshensi?
If it had been an earlier time, they would have taken action on behalf of the saint and beheaded Jiang Zhen.
But in the past two years, the saint's suspicion has become stronger and stronger, and he has to act cautiously if there is any slight disturbance.
I really don’t understand how a mere Jiang Zhen can stir up trouble.
"Presumptuous! Can you and I guess the heart of a saint?"
Faced with his brother's complaint, Luo Hu, the chief of the Shenwu Guard, just glared at him.
Deputy Guard Ji Hongguang seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and hurriedly handed him over.
"Then, we continue to keep an eye on this kid?"
Deputy Guard Wu Fan asked.
Luo Hu shook his head and his voice slowed down a lot: "Withdraw the people who are staring at Li Zheng and go see the group of people in Huntian Prison. Ji Du just sent the message. Huntian Prison Supervisor Zhenggu Pei Yuan has already
Once you leave the capital city, we need to monitor you closely."
"This old guy Gu Peiyuan is here too!!"
Ji Hongguang and Wu Fan were shocked when they heard this name.
There are not many people in this world who can make Shenwuwei famous, but Gu Pei Yuan is definitely one of them.
As the supervisor of Huntian Prison, his official position is no more than the third rank.
But his strength is unfathomable. Even Ri Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Guard, once said that if one day the saint wanted to kill Gu Pei Yuan and he left, he would not be able to keep him.
The commander-in-chief, Riyao, is a supreme master who has never been defeated in twenty years of enlightenment.
There is no place in the world for people who can't even keep him.
This old guy has always lived in seclusion and rarely left the gate of Huntian Prison. Now he has left the capital of the gods and gone straight to Yuyang. Could it be that something big is going to happen in Yuyang next?
When the two of them thought about this, they couldn't help but feel a little unsure.
…
"Wow!! So comfortable."
On the small bench in front of the City God's Temple, Xu Tong held a bowl of tortoise soup and took a sip. The taste was surprisingly delicious, with a unique medicinal taste.
After one sip, my whole body is warmed from the inside out, and my internal organs feel warm.
After drinking it all in one gulp, I actually got the effect of increasing my overall physical fitness by 5%.
This is already the third bowl.
But Xu Tong didn't feel bored at all. Instead, it felt a little less than satisfying.
As for others, they are not as comfortable as Xu Tong.
Because they were Xu Tong's entourage, Guo Yi and others were also given a small cup of top-notch soup.
At first, Guo Yi and others looked at the small cup of tortoise soup and felt that the person who cooked the soup was too stingy.
But after taking a sip, his face instantly turned red, as if he was drunk, and every face looked like Guan Gong.
There were even two people who were weak and started to have nosebleeds immediately after drinking. Instead of feeling comfortable, they felt a dull pain in their waists.
This is a typical example of deficiency and failure.
But they were not alone. The wealthy businessmen who had raised funds to make the soup had a drink one by one, and they were almost in the same state as them. They once wondered if they had drank poison.
It wasn't just the wealthy businessmen who couldn't stand it. I thought twelve large iron pots were not enough for so many people.
As a result, many people feel hot all over after taking one sip, as if their bodies are about to burn up.
So they didn't dare to drink anymore. When the people behind heard that this thing was so powerful, they didn't dare to drink it directly. Instead, they diluted it into water and drank it for several people.
Although the effect is greatly reduced, most people feel very comfortable after drinking it.
As for some strong and healthy people, drinking will make a difference.
For example, Guo Yi.
His strength was not bad to begin with, but his hard training in Hengfu had already caused a certain degree of hidden damage to his body.
This time, with the help of Xu Tong's light, after drinking a cup of the best tortoise soup in his hand, he soon felt that his whole body was heating up, and his skin was as hot as a red-hot iron felt.
Not only was the pain gone, but there was a flow of heat in the abdomen, like a ball of hot air traveling along the meridians of his body.
He vaguely felt something, and his body shook the muscles unconsciously.
Xu Tong sat aside. After noticing Guo Yi's abnormality, he couldn't help but slightly raised his lips: "Good luck!"
"ah?"
Guo Yi was startled and couldn't help but wake up. He didn't know what the prince meant.
Xu Tong found something from the prop book and handed it to him.
Guo Yi took it and took a look and found that it was a piece of jade.
Holding this object in his hand, he actually felt a warmth flowing from the jade into his body.
"This jade...the prince can't use it!"
Although Guo Yi is a martial artist, he also knows that there are some spiritual treasures in the world that can nourish the physical body invisibly.
This kind of treasure is priceless and cannot be exchanged for a thousand dollars.
I imagine that the prince's strength is so amazing, it must be related to this treasure.
"Don't think too much. I lent it to you. When you break through the Grand Master, you will return it to me. If I lose it, hum!"
Xu Tong curled his lips and gave him the jade.
This piece of jade is the one [Yuanyang Taishan Marrow] given to him by Da Dao Wang Wu in the late Qing Dynasty script.
The reason why Wang Wu was able to become the last pure martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty is inseparable from this thing.
Otherwise, Guo Yi is lucky.
In fact, Guo Yi's own strength is not bad, and his qualifications are not bad, but he is still far from being a grand master.
The reason why he has not been promoted is not because of his poor foundation, but because of his ability to train Taibao.
This kind of pure external force is extremely harmful to the body.
It is often necessary to supplement the body with many medicinal materials in order to achieve success. To put it bluntly, it means burning money, and not just burning money.
In this cup of the best tortoise soup, in addition to the flesh and blood essence of this tortoise, there are also a lot of precious medicinal materials that the wealthy businessmen raised money to buy.
As a result, Guo Yi drank it in one gulp, which just repaired the hidden wounds and diseases in his body, and gave him further possibilities.
I lent him [Yuanyang Taishan Essence] precisely in the hope that with the powerful nourishing ability of this thing, Guo Yi's strength would rise to the next level.
Although he and Guo Yi didn't get along for a long time, he saw every move Guo Yi made.
That kind of true love in detail can never be faked.
So Xu Tong is also willing to help him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Guo Yi is willing to guard you for the rest of his life."
Guo Yi held the [Yuanyang Taishan Essence] tightly and could not hide the excitement in his expression. As a warrior, being able to become a grand master is what all warriors yearn for. No matter how calm and calm he is, he cannot help but be excited.
Faced with Guo Yi's true feelings, Xu Tong could only roll his eyes: "Ahem, I'm not a manly person!"
Guo Yi:…………
"grown ups!!"
While Xu Tong was enjoying his meal, a woman suddenly ran over, frightening the followers around him.
I saw the woman running in front of Xu Tong and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground.
When everyone took a look, they recognized her as Zhou Niang.
"Eh?? Didn't I ask you to come here to find me tomorrow?? Come so soon?"
Xu Tong recognized Zhou Niang at a glance.
"The daughter of the people thanks you for your kindness, but you can't repay it in this life. Even if you have to work as a cow or a horse in the next life, you still have to repay your kindness."
As Zhou Niang said, she was about to kowtow.
It turned out that after Xu Tong received her petition, Zhou Niang started to have a high fever when she returned home, so much so that she didn't wake up despite such a loud noise last night.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Niang had a dream, dreaming that her man was back.
After waking up from the dream, Zhou Zhou's mother's fever subsided. When she walked out, she found that none of her neighbors were there. When she walked to the street and asked, she realized how big of an event had happened yesterday.
After learning that Song's relatives and friends had committed suicide out of fear of crime, and that all the damn beasts in Heshensi had been killed, Zhou Niang wept with joy at having her revenge.
When I ran here, I took a look and saw Xu Tong sitting outside the Chenghuang Temple.
Even though he had put on official clothes, he could recognize him at a glance. This was the gentleman who had received his petition.
That's why this came about.
Zhou Niang had a strong temperament, otherwise she would not have dared to risk serious disapproval and claimed that she would be killed in the Chenghuang Temple.
She could remember her great kindness to Xu Tong for the rest of her life.
But she also understood that she was a vulgar girl who had worked in the fields for many years, and her skin was rough and rough. This man must have looked down upon her, and he only wanted to work as a cow and horse in his next life to repay this kindness.
However, what bothered Xu Tong the most was this. When he heard this, he showed a displeased expression: "The things of this life, let's talk about it in this life, and how long will it take in the next life?"
Zhou Niang was startled when she heard this.
Xu Tong didn't wait for her to come to her senses: "I just came to Yuyang City, and there isn't even an old lady around me who can wash and cook. Just follow me and wash and cook for us. I'll pay you three pieces of silver every month."
This was said very domineeringly, leaving almost no room for maneuver.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a pretty good job.
Three pieces of silver per month is the price of a little maid with tender skin and tender flesh.
How could Zhou Niang be ignorant of good and evil, but she looked embarrassed: "I'm willing to be a cow or a horse, no need to give me money..."
"I have to accept it. If you don't accept it, it's just me trying to repay the favor. What if someone else buys it from me in the future? Wouldn't that be harmful to me?"
Who is so full that they can do such a heartless thing?
However, Xu Tong spoke seriously, and Zhou Niang was an illiterate woman, so she was really frightened for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Guo Yi on the side quickly reminded him: "Why don't you thank the prince soon?"
"Oh, thank you Crown Prince, thank you Crown Prince."
Zhou Niang woke up from a dream and hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Tong, but was stopped by Xu Tong: "Get up, I don't like this here. I especially liked your strong energy when you made a big fuss in the Chenghuang Temple. Why do you become so powerful now?"
It’s all gone.”
"She is a daughter of the people, I am fierce and ignorant..."
Mentioning what happened yesterday, Wednesday's mother couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. If the city god hadn't appeared, how could the river demon be killed!
When she thought of this, Zhou Niang thought about going in later to kowtow to the City God to apologize.
"Ding! Side mission 2: Sanniang's complaint is completed!"
At this time, the side task prompt sounded, which meant that the task of Zhou Niang's complaint had ended.
Then my only tasks in Yuyang are to build rivers, make friends with Wu Fan, and the Moda Cult.
However, river construction is not something that can be done in a day or two, and the remaining two tasks are even more missing.
Thinking that Xu Tong had stretched himself and had enough to eat and drink, he didn't stay any longer. However, before leaving, Xu Tong smiled and accepted the pot of top-quality tortoise soup and the cooked tortoise meat.
It's not that those businessmen are generous, the main thing is that they really can't drink this stuff.
If the bones of the body are weak and unreplenished, eating this is no different from eating arsenic.
So I gave it to Xu Tong as a favor.
Anyway, to them, this thing is a rarity, not a rare treasure.
As for the centuries-old ginseng and other precious medicinal materials they raised money to purchase, they are just a drop in the bucket. Everyone raising funds is just to add a sense of participation.
Hey, after all, he is still wealthy.
Xu Tong couldn't help but feel nostalgic again, thinking that it was time for him to be a boy who scattered wealth.
