Xu He and others were shocked, and after some deliberation, they decided to choose a remote place to go, and unknowingly walked into the central Hunan area.
Two days ago, a group of people stayed overnight in a ruined temple and were knocked unconscious by someone. When they woke up, Zhu Ha was gone.
Murong Fu frowned, "How could you be knocked unconscious?"
Xu He was also very confused, "We checked everywhere that night. There were people guarding the doors and windows to make sure there was no poisonous smoke or anything like that. We also brought our own food. By the time we realized it, most of the people had already fainted."
Murong Fu asked again: "You said you saw three figures vaguely at that time?"
Xu He nodded, "Yes, my subordinate's internal strength is a little strong. The last one fainted, and I vaguely saw three figures in black coming in from the door holding weapons."
After thinking for a while, he added: "One of them even said, 'Sir, your medicine...' He was interrupted by another person mid-sentence, and then I completely fainted."
"Elder brother... the area in central Hunan... the ruined temples..." Murong Fu murmured to himself, suddenly thinking of someone, "It turns out to be him! But why did he let you live again?"
Murong Fu thought for a moment and guessed that these three people were probably the disciples of Yaowangzhuang named Murong Jingyue. He regretted that he should have killed him when they were at Wuliang Mountain.
But it was too late to say anything now. Murong Fu's eyes flashed with anger, he stretched out his palm and held it halfway in the air, sucking a wisp of dust into his palm, and then waved it towards Xu He.
Suddenly, a very thin stream of khaki energy flew out of his hand, and instantly wrapped around Xu He's left arm, spinning rapidly.
Xu He's body was trembling, and veins were popping out on his forehead. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain, but he gritted his teeth tightly and remained silent.
Guo Fu was frightened when she saw it, and the others also turned slightly pale.
After a while, Murong Fu stretched out his hand to grab it, and the khaki energy flew back into his hand. It was the dust just now.
At this time, Xu He was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and the shirt on his left arm was in tatters, exposing the blood stains inside.
Murong Fu dusted off his hands and said, "This time you escorted Zhu Ha, but you were in trouble and your left hand muscles and veins were destroyed. Do you have any objections?"
Xu He covered his left arm and knelt on the ground tremblingly, "This subordinate is convinced."
The rules of the Crystal Palace are extremely strict. If a task like Xu He failed for no reason, he would have to cut off a hand. But now Murong Fu only destroyed the veins in his hand, and there will be a chance to repair them in the future. It is already considered a light punishment.
Guo Fu didn't understand why, and frowned slightly: "Murong...Brother, how can you be so cruel! If you lose something, you just need to find it again, and you will destroy someone's arm at every turn."
Others knelt down and said in unison: "I beg you, Master, to punish me."
Murong Fu waved his hand, "When you go back, each of you will go to the execution hall to receive your punishment, and this matter will be over."
Everyone bowed again: "Thank you, sir!"
"Get up!" Murong Fu waved his hand casually, and a gentle force helped about twenty people to their feet. Everyone was filled with envy.
Murong Fu glanced at Guo Fu and said, "Without rules, there is no rule. Rewarding merit and punishing demerits are natural principles. It doesn't matter whether you are ruthless or not."
Guo Fu was speechless. She also understood the reason, but she still felt that Murong Fu was too unkind and that his meridians were destroyed, which was equivalent to ruining his future. For a moment, there was some estrangement in her heart.
Murong Fu didn't want to explain. He didn't know any profound ways of governing his subordinates. He only understood one truth: merit will be rewarded and misdeeds will be punished. Therefore, although the punishment from the Crystal Palace was severe, the rewards were also extremely generous.
Murong Fu glanced at everyone in the Crystal Palace and said, "Okay, you just escort Xu He back, and I will take care of the rest."
Xu He said: "My lord, I want to plead guilty and meritorious service, but I would like to ask you to tell me who stole the red clam, and I will go and retrieve it alone."
At the mention of Zhu Ha, Murong Fu was very heartbroken, but he still said: "No, you go back and cultivate for a while. When you have accumulated enough merit, I will teach you the Shen Zhao Sutra and restore the meridians of your arm."
Xu He's pale face flashed with joy, "Thank you for your love, sir. I will do my best to serve you."
After everyone retreated, only Murong Fu and Guo Fu were left in the courtyard.
Murong Fu's face was gloomy and uncertain. After a while, he finally decided to go to Yaowang Village. He still had a glimmer of hope that he could retrieve the Zhu Ha. Moreover, even if he could not retrieve it, he could not let Murong Jingyue go so easily.
Now that he had made a decision, the sooner the better, Murong Fu turned around and picked up Guo Fu and walked out.
After leaving the town, Murong Fu saw Guo Fu's unhappy face and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"
Guo Fu snorted and didn't answer.
Murong Fu thought for a moment and understood, "Do you think my punishment is too severe?"
Guo Fu curled her lips, "That's right!"
Murong Fu smiled slightly, "That's my subordinate, why are you feeling so distressed?"
"I...I don't feel sorry for you, it's just that you are so inhumane! What if...what if you treat me like this one day..." As he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face turned slightly red.
Murong Fu said curiously: "You are not my subordinate, why should I treat you like this!"
Guo Fudeng hesitated, "I...I mean...if one day I...I do something wrong, you will cut off my hands and feet even if you open your mouth or not."
"You are not anyone like me. What did you do wrong have to do with me?"
"You...you..." Guo Fudeng was furious, and you didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing her cute and angry look, Murong Fu couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, and said: "Okay, okay, no matter what you do wrong in the future, I will not punish you like that!"
Guo Fu's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Murong Fu nodded solemnly, "Really!" After a pause, he added, "I can only spank you!"
Guo Fu was stunned for a moment, then spat, "You're so bad..."
But at this moment, Guo Fu's delicate little face turned red with embarrassment, her starry eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth seemed angry or happy, and she looked extremely charming.
Murong Fu couldn't help himself for a moment, stretched out his mouth and kissed the corner of her mouth gently.
Guo Fu's delicate body trembled, and she collapsed into Murong Fu's arms, murmuring: "Brother Murong, don't be like this..."
Murong Fu laughed and said, "I'm not feeling well yet..." He hugged his slim waist, started Qinggong and headed to Yaowangzhuang.
It was getting dark at this time, so Murong Fu and his two men traveled all night. At dawn the next day, they arrived at Baima Temple Town near Deyaowangzhuang.
"Brother Murong, do you know where Yaowangzhuang is?" It was Guo Fu who asked.
Murong Fu immediately reached out and covered her mouth, "Don't mention those three words!"
Although Guo Fu didn't know what it meant, she still nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Although Murong Fu has great martial arts skills, he is very afraid of poisons. The people in this town are inextricably linked to Yaowangzhuang. If Murong Jingyue had known that he was coming here in advance, he would have been prepared, and
