Chapter 60: The Deadly Enemy Among Natural Enemies (4)
Zhuo Heng hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, so many people have died in the government office in the past few days, and a demon once lived here. What if... ah!"
Zhuo Yuan secretly stepped on Zhuo Heng to tell him to stop talking nonsense, and then said with his hand: "Master Su, this girl is still injured, and her friend is also unconscious now. I'm afraid they all need medical treatment.
Zhuo really can't let the two benefactors leave like this."
Now that the conversation had reached this point, Su Mu could no longer refuse, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll excuse you."
Qianye also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been with the school for several years and knew very well that Su Mu had a stubborn and hard temper. If there was still a glimmer of hope to leave, he would never stay.
Just like she understands Su Mu's temper, even if the pain on her shoulder and palm is numb and the blood has dried up, she will not show any pain at all, because Su Mu will not be soft-hearted.
When he returned to the house, he saw that Wu Zhou was awake, so he forced a smile and said, "Thank you for trying to save me today."
"No." Wu Zhou looked away, feeling weak.
Chiba didn't argue with him and bent down to pick him up.
"I can walk by myself."
Qianye had no choice but to support him and follow Zhuo Yuan into the backyard of the government office. Along the way, Su Mu's eyes were like knives, piercing her completely.
"To be honest with you three, Zhuo is an imperial envoy and the new governor of Ning'an Prefecture. People have already signed a petition accusing the former governor of embezzlement, perverting the law, and plundering people's wealth. Zhuo came here with an imperial edict.
, stripped him of his official position and imprisoned him, temporarily acting as governor, waiting for the court's order.
Therefore, the government office here is now also Zhuo's residence, so you three need not be polite."
With that said, Zhuo Yuan led them into an independent small courtyard. The servants had already cleaned up the house. Obviously, Zhuo Yuan had no intention of letting the two of them leave in a hurry from the beginning.
"Zhuo has already inquired. The courtyard here has never been inhabited, so there has been no murder. It is relatively clean."
Qianye nodded, helped Wu Zhou choose a room, and sent him to the bed.
Wu Zhou fell into coma almost instantly. The previous struggle with the soul-burning fire consumed the last ray of energy he had been able to accumulate in the past few days.
And enduring the scorching heat for a long time also exhausted his little remaining physical strength.
How could he afford the final blow?
In the past, even if the Bone-Eating Curse struck, he would still be awake, but now...
Qianye gritted her teeth and turned around to go out. She knew that the matter between Su Mu and her was definitely not over.
The bright moonlight filled the entire small courtyard. Su Mu had already sent Zhuo Yuan away and was standing alone in the courtyard with his hands folded, obviously waiting for her.
He has a tall and slender figure, broad shoulders, and his purple robe looks like a handful of silver powder sprinkled under the moonlight. The hem of his clothes dances lightly, but his body is as loose as loose.
There is a long sword at the waist, and the simple sandalwood scabbard is inlaid with iron wire patterns, which is ancient and vicissitudes of life, shining brightly.
If he hadn't known that Su Mu's identity was actually the top disciple of the Jujiu Sect, he would have been more like a cold swordsman.
"Elder brother..."
"Qianye, do you know that you are wrong?" Su Mu asked coldly without turning around.
Chiba sighed, "Senior Brother, things are not as simple as you think."
"Then you are reminding me that the trouble you caused was definitely not what I saw, but just a small part of it?" Su Mu turned around, with his back to the moonlight, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, "What on earth is he doing?"
