After a long time, Lin Zhao finally woke up quietly in the bathtub, feeling unimaginable pain all over his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, only to find a beautiful girl standing next to him heating water. It was Dong Zang.
, so Lin Zhao immediately covered his chest and key parts: "Miss Dongzang, you... I can do it myself..."
"What, are you shy?"
Dong Zang chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it was Commander Chu who ordered me to take care of the young master's medicinal bath. If Dong Zang doesn't take care of the young master himself, I can't bear the blame from Commander Chu... By the way, young master, you looked really good when you came back.
It scared me, it was all bloody, it looked like it was fished out of bloody water, I was worried that you wouldn't wake up!"
Lin Zhao smiled.
He slowly leaned against the edge of the barrel, feeling that his body was being nourished and repaired by the medicine. In fact, this was the first time Lin Zhao had taken such a medicinal bath since he was a child. A poor young man who had trouble even having a meal,
Even if he is learning boxing, he would not dare to expect such treatment. When he closed his eyes, the appearance of Chu Huaixi immediately appeared in his mind. The momentum and fist intention of the martial artist in the sea level were really terrifying. Fortunately, he could bear it by himself.
In the end, he didn't surrender until he was knocked unconscious.
If a martial artist who only practices pure Qi surrenders once in his life and loses his Qi, his future achievements will be greatly compromised. This is a truth that everyone understands.
"Have a good rest, I'll prepare lunch."
Miss Dongzang asked with a smile: "What would you like to eat for lunch, sir? I'll ask the cook to prepare it."
"It's nothing..."
Lin Zhao pursed his lips: "Just get more meat..."
Dongzang covered his mouth and smiled: "Okay, I understand. Master, please have a good rest!"
At noon, Lin Zhao devoured several kilograms of beef, and then lay down in the tub again, soaking his whole body in the potion. After the pain subsided, his strength as a martial artist increased little by little, especially in his fist intention.
In terms of momentum, there has been a huge change compared to yesterday, which made Lin Zhao confirm that practicing boxing with Chu Huaixi can indeed make his cultivation and boxing skills greatly improved. These ten days are really a good time for him.
It's so precious, it's like a severe drought and a sudden rain.
…
Afternoon.
On the roof of the tallest building in the center of the Marshal's Mansion, Chu Huaixi and Huang Tingyu sat side by side beside the stone statue of Chaofeng on the ridge, watching Lin Zhao taking a bath in the small courtyard in the distance, each with their own thoughts.
"This kid is quite talented."
Huang Tingyu smiled slightly: "A mere second-level martial artist dares to look directly at Chu Shuai's fists. If it were an ordinary second-level martial artist, I am afraid that Chu Shuai would have knelt down and begged for mercy the moment he released his fists."
"How can Lin Zhengxi's son do what he does if he doesn't look good? It's true that a tiger father has no dog sons." Chu Huaixi narrowed his eyes and said.
"snort!"
Huang Tingyu said: "After we suffered this defeat on the front line, the demon clan is starting to make a move again. Just this morning, three new demon clan camps have been added. It seems that they really want to open up with us.
The battle has been going on for a long time, and besides, the military situation is very tight, and the files in the Military Directorate are piling up like a mountain. Instead of dealing with it, sir, you are polishing your boxing skills and determination for this kid every day?"
"I can't help it, I owe his father."
Chu Huaixi looked a little tired and said: "At the beginning, when we had just gained a foothold on the snow-covered Tianchi, the great demon of the twelfth realm of transformation into gods broke through the Tianchi army's mountain-protecting formation with one sword.
If Lin Zhengxi hadn't gone down to Beishan and intercepted and killed the big monster north of Jiuzhangyuan, I'm afraid our Tianchi Army would have been reduced to ashes."
"ah?"
Huang Tingyu was stunned: "Can Lin Zhengxi stop a great demon of the Twelve Realms, and he is also a sword cultivator? It's impossible. Do you really think that the sword cultivators in the world are just made of clay?"
Chu Huaixi sneered: "Lin Zhengxi is the first 11th realm Tianyuan realm warrior in the history of the Chen Dynasty. He monopolizes the martial arts of the Chen Dynasty. In addition, he has the will to fight to the death. He punched the big demon seriously. After that,
He risked his own life and beat the great demon from the twelve realms to the tenth galaxy realm. Do you think Lin Zhengxi can stop the great demon of the twelve realms?"
Huang Tingyu grinned: "Since Lin Zhengxi's boxing skills are so essential, why doesn't he teach Lin Zhao boxing himself?"
"He doesn't want Lin Zhao to learn boxing at all."
Chu Huaixi sighed: "That year, Lin Zhengxi and I talked about these things about sesame seeds and rotten millet. In fact, he didn't want Lin Zhao to become his second self. On the contrary, he sent Lin Zhao to study in a book school, hoping that
Lin Zhao will be a scholar in the future. Even back then, Lin Zhengxi went to visit Qin Suihan with a heavy gift and wanted Qin Suihan to be Lin Zhao's husband, but unfortunately Qin Suihan refused. "
“God’s will plays tricks on people, and no one can do anything about it.”
Huang Tingyu smiled faintly and said: "I also became a subordinate of Commander Chu and competed with the clan, right?"
"Humph, do you regret it?"
Chu Huaixi pointed to the north and said with a smile: "The gate of Tianchiling faces north and is open. You can leave anytime you want, but the next time we meet, we will be our mortal enemies."
"If I don't go, I won't go."
Huang Tingyu grinned and said: "If you get along with reasonable people more often, you won't want to meet those who are unreasonable."
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the front yard, and looking from a distance, a group of people wearing official uniforms of the central government came.
"snort!"
Huang Tingyu said coldly: "The annoying flies are here again. How about dealing with them?"
"Walk!"
…
Marshal's Mansion, main hall.
A group of people wearing official uniforms of the Shang Dynasty walked straight in. Chu Huaixi served tea to entertain the guests.
Among the group of people from the court, the highest-ranking man was an old man with a soft voice. The way he narrowed his eyes was extremely disgusting. After entering the main hall, he said: "I am Wang Can, the sixth-rank Huangmenling of the Great Shang Dynasty.
This time I went to Tianchiling to supervise the battle under His Majesty's order. Commander Chu, do you know that the result of this battle made both Your Majesty and Marquis Wen very angry?"
Chu Huaixi frowned, clasped his fists and said, "Chu Huaixi is a martial artist, and many things are unclear. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Wang to tell you what you have to say, so that everyone can be happy."
"good!"
Huangmen Ling Wang Can sneered and said: "This time, our Great Shang Dynasty dispatched 20,000 cavalry to cooperate with your Tianchi army to attack the right camp of the demon clan. But the final result was when the elite of the demon clan began to counterattack.
At that time, the front army that you inserted into the enemy camp actually collapsed without a fight. As a result, our 20,000 cavalry were surrounded by the demon clan and suffered heavy losses. Even the general Luo Changfeng was killed by the demon. This deal
How to settle the score? Your Tianchi Army is not known as the most capable army in killing monsters in the world, how could you be so incompetent?"
"Lord Wang!"
Chu Huaixi raised his voice much louder, suppressing his anger and said: "Our battalion responsible for guarding the forward position is the Tiebu Battalion led by Su Liang. In this battle, the Tiebu Battalion lost more than 600 brothers.
More than half of the regiment was killed, and even Su Liang, Zhou Han and his wife died on the battlefield. The demon tribe mobilized three battalions of elites to attack our front positions. This was something no one expected. Could it be that the Great Shang Dynasty wanted to fail?
Is it all the fault of our Tianchi Army?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Wang Can sneered angrily and said: "It's just that your Tiebu battalion, which is responsible for guarding the front army, is so ineffective and killed Master Luo Changfeng. Someone must be responsible, right?"
"Who's responsible?"
Chu Huaixi's eyes were filled with anger.
"Whoever loses is responsible."
Wang Can sneered: "Didn't the Su Liang couple claim to be invincible on foot? Now they indirectly killed General Luo Changfeng. His Majesty was furious, so he decided to confiscate all the Su family's properties and use the money to subsidize me.
The soldiers who died in the battle, Commander Chu, the court has been tolerant enough, otherwise according to Marquis Wen's wishes, I am afraid that everyone in the Su family will be slaves and maids."
"you……"
Chu Huaixi clenched his fist and shouted lowly.
"grown ups."
Huang Tingyu pressed his sword at the side and said: "The Su family...if the property is confiscated, just confiscate it. The rest of the matter will be left to my subordinates."
"snort!"
Chu Huaixi walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
…
Late at night, a large number of soldiers from the Shang Dynasty poured into the town, sealed up the Su family's mansion, sold off all the Su family's property, and expelled the Su family one by one from the town.
Late at night, a little girl was sitting on the stone bridge crying.
Su Qingjiu just found out that her father and mother died in the battle and would never come back. The group of sergeants rushed into the house and moved away everything that could be moved. The servants in the house were scattered, and she no longer had any relatives.
Already.
"Xiaojiu'er~~~"
Behind her, an old man carrying a sword appeared, it was Huang Tingyu.
"Grandpa Huang..."
Su Qingjiu burst into tears and said, "Daddy... are daddy and mother really dead?"
"Yeah..."
Huang Tingyu knelt down and wiped away his tears as a little girl, and said softly: "However, Su Liang and Zhou Han died heroically for the Chen Dynasty and the human race. They killed many monsters with their swords, and they never gave them to the Great Chen Dynasty.
The Chen Dynasty is in disgrace, they are the heroes of the Chen Dynasty..."
"That……"
Su Qingjiu cried and looked at the sealed Su family's mansion: "Why is it still like this?"
"The world is complicated."
Huang Tingyu rubbed the little girl's hair and said: "Although the Su family has been sealed off, the entire Tianchi Town is Xiaojiuer's home. Chu Shuai has given an order. As long as you are willing, we will find a home for you."
A family will take you in."
Su Qingjiu cried even louder.
Huang Tingyu was confused: "Xiao Jiu'er, what do you want to do? You can tell me yourself."
Su Qingjiu cried loudly and said: "Father and mother are gone, I... I don't want to go to a stranger's house, Grandpa Huang, can I go to brother Lin Zhao's house? I want to follow brother Lin Zhao, he is Xiaojiu
The only person I trust..."
"Lin Zhao..."
Huang Tingyu said: "He is now learning boxing from Marshal Chu at the Marshal's Mansion. He won't be able to go home for a while. Xiao Shitou is the only one at home. Look..."
"Then I will go live with Xiao Shitou and wait for brother Lin Zhao to come home. I don't want to be alone..."
"Okay, okay."
Huang Tingyu couldn't resist, so he took the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go, Grandpa Huang will take you there."
…
Late at night.
An old man wearing a gray robe and holding a "divination and fortune-telling" fortune-telling flag stepped into the town. He looked at Su Qingjiu's back from a distance, gently stroked his beard and smiled: "Tsk, tsk, you are born with the best spiritual qualities...
…This face is also of good quality, and she will definitely be a little beauty in the future. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could take her in and raise her as a disciple, and then force her to become a Taoist companion when she grows up?”
