Controlling the flow of liquid does not necessarily require a water magician. Ao Yu proved this. He provided Ding Kui with an array layout that required very little magic core energy to drive the gear set.
"It's as simple as breathing. A first-level magic core can be used for ten or eight years, but what's the use of this broken clock?" He had the same question as Qian You.
"Efficiency! Accurate time can improve efficiency and is of great significance in many aspects. It is definitely useless to you. One sleep only lasts ten days and a half. The wall calendar is useful to you." Ding Kui was too lazy to explain so much to Ao Yu. .
Ao Yu has been very lethargic recently. It is common to sleep for seven or eight days at a time. He wakes up, eats a big meal and then goes back to sleep. If it weren't for the wrong season, Ding Kui would have thought he was hibernating.
"I seem to have grown taller. I need to sleep more to maintain my health."
Ding Kui curiously circled Ao Yu: "Longer? It seems a bit taller."
Ao Yu originally stayed in the county town, but because of the relationship between Lu Chao and others, he came to Juyang City.
While the two were talking, a guard came to report: "Master, Your Excellency Ruan Xingzhu has brought someone to see you."
"Okay, please come to the main hall. Master Gui has sent someone to help me solve the problem." Ding Kui never expected that they would come so quickly.
Giant Sheep City is located in the southeast corner of the kingdom. It can be called the most remote city. Even if a magician can use the portal, it will take at least three or four days to get there from other states, unless he travels desperately.
There are two white-robed magicians in the main hall, one male and one female. Needless to say, the female is the honored disciple Min Chou.
"Oh, it turns out to be Master Min. You are so polite, junior." Ding Kui greeted them warmly.
"You young people, don't you know how to respect the elderly? If you cause less trouble, we old guys won't have to run around. I haven't used teleportation in the past ten years as much as in the past two days. You said my old arms and legs How can I bear it?" Min Chou complained first.
Ding Kui and Ruan Xingzhu looked at each other, feeling embarrassed.
"To express my apology, this is a small profit. It's not a small thought, so please accept it, master." Ding Kui handed over a small gold box.
Min Chou was a forbidden master and had little interest in gold and silver, so he reluctantly joined in because of his junior sister's face. However, he closed the box as soon as he opened it a crack, and before his hand could be returned to his sleeve, the small gold box had disappeared.
"Teacher is not here. Junior sister's affairs are my business. Otherwise, where will my senior brother's face be? Logically speaking, I shouldn't accept your gift, but I used an array plate to help you catch Hong Jin last time. Just use this wind jade to make up for it." There was obviously a smile on his face.
The operation to round up Hong Jin was at the request of Jiang Tong, so naturally there wouldn't be much money to be made. Min Chou could only recoup the cost, and the others' trip was in vain.
He rarely refuses employment from others. Of course, the cost of hiring him is very high, and most people cannot afford to hire him. Therefore, he is the busiest person in Rongci's sect, and he often fails to show up.
"Yes, yes, you can do whatever you want with the things I give you." Ding Kui didn't mind what reason the other party used to give his gift.
"Senior Brother, please run a trip for me. If I can help my junior sister in the future, please feel free to ask me." Ruan Xingzhu didn't dare to say such words before, but now that his strength has increased, he is qualified to say it.
"Well, they are both very sensible!" Min Chou was not polite to these two.
Firstly, the eldest brother is the father, and as the eldest brother, he can be Ruan Xingzhu's elder; secondly, Shen Kongmen has given him a branch that has always been closely related to the Ding family, so he is also qualified to be Ding Kui's elder.
"Bring that Lu Chao out, I'm here to take him away." Seeing that it was still early, he decided to get the matter done first.
"I'm afraid it's not suitable here, right?" Ding Kui looked at the increasingly gorgeous main hall.
The main hall is used to receive distinguished guests, and prisoners are not suitable to appear here.
"Ah, I almost forgot your rules. Noble families are troublesome, and it doesn't take many times to clean up such a big place. Where are we going? You can lead the way." Min Chou immediately understood what Ding Kui meant.
"Let's go to the wing of the west courtyard. Is Xingzhu going too?"
Ruan Xingzhu waved his hand and said: "I don't want to see that annoying guy, you go ahead, I'll go see Senior Sister Li to play."
So Ding Kui led the way and only took Min Chou to the west side courtyard.
Not long after, Ding Kun and Ao Yu escorted Lu Chao and the black-haired knight respectively.
"Ding Kui! You dare to imprison me! If you can, kill me with one strike!" Lu Chao saw that there was an older magician nearby, and he knew that he had hope of getting out of trouble.
He is a man who cares about face very much and tries his best to regain the face he lost in Juyang City.
Ding Kui smiled and said to Min Chou: "Look, he took the initiative to provoke me. How can I explain to my subordinates if I don't kill him? How can I explain to the army who is taking orders from me? In the Protector's family, except for my own people, I will kill anyone who offends me.
Of!"
The Ding family has never been merciful to foreigners, and the people of Qi and Cao felt this the most. In history, countless princes will die at the hands of the Ding family.
"He is young and energetic. Seeing that he has no ill intentions towards the kingdom, give me some face and don't embarrass him. I will handle it."
After Min Chou finished speaking to Ding Kui, he turned to look at Lu Chao and said, "Lü Chao, I am Min Chou, the eldest disciple of my mentor. You did not notify us specifically when you came to Shaodian Kingdom this time. We should not have taken care of it."
It's your business, but my master is kind and ordered me to take you to Zhenjing City to see him.
This is Ding Kui's fiefdom. He has the most strict rules, and the laws of Shaodian Kingdom don't apply. What's more, if you are from Lu Kingdom, no one can control you if he wants to arrest you. Moreover, the eldest princess has announced that she will supervise the country here. Your
This action threatened her safety, and I am afraid that King Lu's royal family will have to explain this.
That is to say, the master has a close relationship with the Ding family. I can help you leave, but you have to make others willing and don't cause any more troubles. If you have any grievances, please resolve them later. I don't think you have suffered any grievances.
, that’s it, follow me to Zhenjing City first.”
Lu Chao felt very aggrieved, but forced by the situation, he had to swallow his anger and find a way to vent it later.
"Since Master Rong has summoned me, there must be no delay, but I can't leave my entourage here, right?"
Min Chou glanced at Ding Kui, who waved his hand: "Come on, bring the remaining people over."
In fact, Ding Zhong had already escorted the people there and was only waiting for Ding Kui's order.
The Chaoyang Team, which originally had a total of ten people, now only has five people left. Five people died in the conflict, most of them killed by the Security Bureau's poisonous crossbow arrows.
"You." Lu Chao felt inexplicably angry, "Senior Brother Min, even if we act a little recklessly, we are not guilty of death. These followers have been following me for many years, but now there are five missing. I must give you an explanation for this matter!
"
"Swords and guns are short-sighted, and there will inevitably be casualties when you take action. My people have warned you many times, but you insist on going your own way. To ensure the safety of me and the eldest princess, they will not show mercy. If I die, I can only blame your people's luck."
No, where did you come from?" Ding Kui also responded with a sigh of relief.
The black-haired knight said angrily: "Hmph, there are so many of you using weapons, how can you be merciful? You just want to massacre!"
Min Chou was in a bit of a dilemma at this time. Rongci didn't know that people had died in the conflict between Lu Chao and Ding Kui. The task given to him was to safely send people back to Lu State. If five people died, it would not be safe.
"Your people are so ruthless. They haven't done anything harmful, right?" he asked Ding Kui, somewhat blaming him.
"They suddenly appeared outside my mansion. They were fully armed and powerful. They were pregnant. I didn't dare to take the risk. Of course, I had to let them attack with all their strength." Ding Kui was unhappy but still gave an explanation.
"He! That's him! He was the one who led the people to shoot poisonous arrows!" The black-haired knight pointed his hand at Ding Zhong, recognizing the leader of the men in black hiding in the dark.
"I saw with my own eyes that two followers died of poison, and he is the culprit!" Lu Chao decided to put pressure on Min Chou.
It was unrealistic to seek revenge from Ding Kui. He could only choose to attack Ding Kui's men and exchange Ding Zhong's life for the lives of his followers.
"He must be handed over to us." The black-haired knight immediately understood what Lu Chao meant.
Whoa, gray light flashed by.
"Ah!" the black-haired knight screamed.
He pointed at Ding Zhong's hand, which was cut off at the wrist, and the wound on the broken arm was bleeding.
"He is my apprentice. If you want to deal with him, come to me!" Ding Kun held a blood drink in his hand and stared at the black-haired knight coldly.
He had never seen such arrogant prisoners. If they had been chopped into pieces and fed to dogs in the army, he did not expect that they would dare to plot against Ding Zhong. For a moment, they were so murderous that they brandished their swords.
Everyone was unprepared for this sudden change, and by the time Min Chou found out, it was already too late to stop it.
"Don't forget that you are still my prisoners! If you want to speak out, don't leave today!" Ding Kui's face was ashen, and he no longer cared about giving face to anyone.
Min Chou took out a wound medicine, threw it to Lu Chao's people, and signaled to stop the bleeding of the black-haired knight, and then said: "Lu Chao, you should understand the rights of private lords. Although magicians can be exempted, your followers are not
Magician, I can't control that much."
Lu Chao was so frightened that he really felt the fear of death just now. The old man who was cutting people was full of murderous intent, and there was no chance that the next knife would fall on his head.
No, we can't argue with these barbarians. Including Ding Kui, they are no different from the desperadoes in the adventure group. They will start with murderous intent. I have to leave safely first.
So he said: "The matter has come to an end, I have nothing to say, just let Senior Brother Min arrange it."
"Well, Ding Kui, please remove the restrictions on them." Min Chou said expressionlessly.
Ding Kui nodded at Ding Kun, who walked up to Lu Chao and the black-haired knight and patted them a few times.
Lu Chao immediately took out the potion and gave it to the black-haired knight, who used his fighting spirit to seal the wound.
"Return the things to them." Ding Kui ordered.
Ding Zhong asked people to pull out more than ten horses with luggage on their backs. These were all brought by Lu Chao.
"Let's go, we can get to the county seat before dark." Min Chou didn't want to stay in Ding Mansion anymore, and he lost some face by coming to fish for people this time.
Lu Chao did not ride a horse, but flew directly up to the same height as Min Chou on the horse. He turned around and said, "Ding Kui, what you have given me today will be repaid in return in the future!"
