Zhou Jianlai's already pale face immediately lost all color after hearing the bad news. He turned to look at Du Keyi, wondering if she was joking with him.
"Dead." Du Keyi gave Zhou Jianlai a confirmed look.
Zhou Jianlai opened his mouth to say something, but a cold wind blew in his face and filled his mouth with falling snow, choking him and causing him to cough violently.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
The more he coughed, the harder he coughed and couldn't stop.
Du Keyi quickly stroked his back with the power of the stars.
Zhou Jianlai's coughing slowly stopped. When he took his hand away from his mouth, there was a pool of blood on his palm. He slowly clenched his fist, put it on his lap, and asked, "When did it happen?"
"In September."
"You should have told me earlier."
"I only heard the news last time I went shopping outside Dashan. I have been hesitating whether to tell you these days."
"Can you please take me back to Qingzhou?"
"good."
This year's winter came a bit early and was a bit cold. Baiyun City, which had not seen snow for several years, actually started to snow heavily.
When the heavy snow drifted from north to south and reached the sky above Liujia Village, only a few small snowflakes remained, but it still made the two little guys Ye Wuyou and Qi Xiaoyao very excited. They chased and ran in the falling snow with their short legs.
, cackles of pure laughter, floating in the sky above Liujia Village.
With Xi Qingqing's feeding of plenty of milk and water and the nourishment of many miraculous medicines, these two little guys grew extremely strong.
Thanks to the teasing of these two little guys, it not only distracted Zodiac Girl's attention to a great extent, but also greatly cured the sadness in her heart. Otherwise, she would have been immersed in the sadness of losing Zhang Xiaopou for the rest of her life.
Depressed and unhappy.
Roar--!
A beast roar broke the peaceful atmosphere of the village.
The white tiger dragged its blood-stained body and fled back from the mountains to the west, with several blond foreign cultivators chasing after it.
"Hurry up, don't let it run away!"
"Son, don't worry, it can't escape!"
"Haha, good!" The leading man laughed happily, and then shouted to Bai Hu: "Bai Hu, you claim that the pawn is dead. I will surrender you today, let you surrender to me, and recognize me as the new master."
Bai Huli ignored the shouts of these people and ran to a courtyard in the west of Liujia Village, then jumped over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard.
Squeak!
The door opened and Bai Hu ran in.
Several blond foreign cultivators followed closely and stopped above the small courtyard.
"Did you injure my little white boy?"
A question came from the room, and then Qi Yoyo, dressed as a woman in plain clothes, walked out, stood still at the door, and looked up at the people in the air.
This courtyard belongs to Zhang Xiaozu. After she came to Liujiacun, she tidied up the courtyard and moved in.
Zhang Xiaozhu's death was a huge blow to her, and she still wakes up in the middle of the night with her pillow wet with tears.
She regretted that she didn't have a fake show with Zhang Xiaozhu that day in Yunzhu Courtyard. Otherwise, she might have been able to conceive Zhang Xiaozhu's child and leave him a legacy.
"What a beautiful woman!"
When the man in the lead saw Qi Yoyo's beautiful face, he couldn't help but be amazed by it. A greedy look flashed in his eyes. He bowed politely to Qi Yoyo and said, "You are so polite, Xiaosheng. I'm at Dongfang's house in Xia Yuezhou."
Tianjiao, dare to ask the beauty her name."
Qi Yoyo ignored him, turned back to look at Bai Hu who was walking out behind her, and asked: "Xiao Bai, did they hurt you?"
Roar--!
The white tiger bared its fangs and roared at Dongfang Tianjiao and the others with hostility, which was equivalent to answering Qi Yoyo's question.
Qi Yoyo reached out and stroked the white tiger's head, then turned to look at Dongfang Tianjiao and the others, then drew his sword and swung it.
The cold sword light cut off the falling snowflakes and wiped the neck of Dongfang Tianjiao. A bloody arrow shot into the sky, a human head was thrown away, and a corpse fell from the sky.
"ah!"
Several people behind Dongfang Tianjiao were so frightened that they screamed. They never expected that Qi Yoyo could be so vicious and kill people immediately with his sword drawn.
"You...you...are looking for death!"
Several people woke up from the fright and immediately rushed towards Qi Yoyo with murderous intent to avenge their master.
Qi Yoyo held Tai'a Sword in her hand. She raised and lowered the sword. No one could block her sword. All the living people turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.
Her Nine Yin bloodline has been awakened by the Phoenix Fruit, her cultivation has advanced rapidly, and the extraordinary power of her Nine Yin body has gradually been revealed.
"I'll handle it."
Niu Dawa walked into the yard and stopped Qi Yoyo who was about to dispose of the body.
In fact, he had arrived a long time ago. The reason why he didn't take action was because he wanted Qi Yoyo to deal with these people by herself, let her have a good fight, and vent out the anger and resentment she had been holding in her heart. But he didn't expect these people to be so
Without beating.
After Niu Dawa disposed of the body and left, Qi Yoyo returned to the room and closed the door.
While she was treating Bai Hu's wounds, she said to Bai Hu: "Xiao Bai, it's really unfair for you to let your majestic holy beast stay with us in this mountain village. If you can't get used to it one day, just leave. Your
The world is a big place, and it does not belong to you. If you want to recognize a new owner, as long as the other party is sincerely good to you, we will not blame you."
Bai Hu suddenly stood up, shook his head at Qi Yoyo, then walked around Qi Yoyo twice, suddenly opened his mouth and bit her sleeve, and pulled her towards the door.
Qi Yoyo didn't know what it wanted to do, so she followed it and walked out.
Unexpectedly, the white tiger dragged her all the way to Zhang Xiaozu's grave.
Qi Yoyo looked at Zhang Xiaozu's tombstone and couldn't restrain her sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes. Then she looked at the white tiger, couldn't help but smile with tears in her eyes, and reached out to pat its big head.
She thought the white tiger wanted to tell it that it would only recognize Zhang Xiaopeng as its master in its entire life, and she couldn't help but be moved by the white tiger's loyalty.
But she didn't know that Bai Hu wanted to tell her that the master-servant contract between it and Zhang Xiaozu had not been terminated, and there was still a connection between it and Zhang Xiaozu, so how could it find a new master.
"Ahem..."
A rapid coughing sound came from deep in the alley behind Qi Yoyo. When she heard the sound, she looked back and saw Zhou Jianlai sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Du Keyi.
Zhou Jianlai and Du Keyi first went to the Imperial Capital and learned from Butcher Zhang that Zhang Xiaozu was buried in Liujia Village, so they rushed to Liujia Village.
Qi Yoyo turned around and saluted Zhou Jianlai, then looked at Zhang Xiaozu's tombstone and said, "Husband, Brother Zhou is here to see you."
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Zhou Jianlai stood up from the wheelchair and slowly walked towards Zhang Xiaozu's tombstone step by step.
He resisted the sadness and didn't let the tears fall, but the moment his trembling hand touched Zhang Xiaozhu's tombstone, the tears still fell unsatisfactorily. His fingers slowly slid over Zhang Xiaozhu's name, and he swallowed even harder.
Said: "Brother, I see you are here."
After saying that, he sat down in front of Zhang Xiaozu's tombstone.
"Brother Zhou, you are here." Niu Dawa heard Zhou Jianlai coming and came over to say hello to Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jian came to look at Niu Dawa who was approaching, and explained: "I have been staying in the Burial Sword Mountain in the north for the past few months. I don't know about the pawns... so I didn't come here until now."
Niu Dawa nodded. He had already learned from Wang Ruoyu that Zhou Jianlai was seriously injured. When he saw Zhou Jianlai's pale face and felt his aura of weakness, his eye circles couldn't help but turn red. He walked up to him and asked with concern: "Zhou Jianlai was so weak."
Brother, how is your injury?"
"It's okay." Zhou Jianlai shook his head. He didn't want Niu Dawa to worry about his health, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where is the fourth child?"
"I don't know where the fourth child has gone. There has been no news. Alas..." Niu Dawa sighed worriedly and sat down next to Zhou Jianlai.
When Zhou Jianlai heard this, he couldn't help but make a sound in his heart.
The news of Zhang Xiaozu's death has spread throughout Jiuzhou. Yuan Taiping will definitely come back as soon as possible after learning about it. His failure to come back means that he may not know the news of Zhang Xiaozu's death, or he may already know about it, but cannot come back.
.
"Don't worry, the fourth child will be fine." Zhou Jianlai patted Niu Dawa on the shoulder comfortingly, took out a jar of strong wine from the Wanjian Box, and asked, "Would you like to drink it?"
"Brother Zhou, you are injured, can you drink?" Niu Dawa asked.
