"The master is temporarily unable to receive guests."
Qingcuo said calmly:
"If you have anything, just tell me and I will convey it to you two."
Although Chen Kuang never said anything about asking her to be loyal, Qingcuo has completely regarded the former as his third master.
She tends to communicate more efficiently in person and stays silent most of the time, reporting only the necessary content or nodding in response.
However, when in front of other people, you must clearly define your position, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
But...she doesn't care about it herself, but for a practitioner in the Pikai realm to call a practitioner who has not even reached the innate level as "master", it really subverts the cognition of ordinary people.
Zhou Yanwei, who was also in the sea-opening realm, twitched his lips and had an inexplicable misconception that the other party might also be a prince of some family.
He himself is the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only Lao Ma, who is already in his twilight years, is loyal to the master level.
The last time he fought against the young and strong Di Wu, he was already beyond his capabilities.
Further down, there are actually countless people who are above the sea level. Most of them are driven by profit. They can do things for him, but they cannot sacrifice their lives for him.
First, he is inevitably suspected of being self-reliant. In order to hide his clumsiness, he must be careful and develop his own power without exposing himself too much.
Secondly, if they are not trained from scratch, these masters have already been famous for many years and are all veterans, so their loyalty is difficult to guarantee.
Young masters like Qingcuo, who are arrogant and somewhat ambitious, want to compete with Canglang Ping. How can it be so easy to succumb to others?
It would be normal to say that the woman in front of her was a bodyguard sent by the Liang royal family to protect the little princess.
However, the "master" she refers to obviously refers to Chen Kuang.
This guy's ability is really extraordinary...
Without any background, he can make a young Pihai Realm willing to work as his maid.
If you had a little bit of background, would that be a big deal?
Zhou Yanwei and Lin Eryou looked at each other, and the latter handed over the list in his hand:
"This is a very important thing. Please give it to him, girl, and tell him that the people on this list are..."
Qingcuo took it, took a look, and said, "These are the people who will be sacrificed to the Lake Dragon King by the county guard."
Lin Eryou was stunned and said: "You know... No, he guessed it?"
Qingcuo nodded and said:
"The master said that if you come to him, there is only one thing to do -"
"Save people."
As soon as Chen Kuang heard that they had gone to the county governor's house, he guessed their purpose.
First of all, these two people definitely couldn't have gone to chat with the county governor, and secondly, they couldn't have gone to cooperate.
Although Lin Eryou's purpose is unclear and his actions are uncertain, he is a very interesting person.
An interesting person will never do boring things.
And the county guard and the education officer were obviously boring people, doing boring things together.
Zhou Yanwei is a rare person who attaches great importance to love and justice, and has a chivalrous heart that is inconsistent with his status as a prince.
On that day, he thought Lin Eryou was going to expose Chen Kuang, so he stepped forward without hesitation to buy time for him to escape.
Fun and kind.
What can such a combination do if they go to the Sheriff's Mansion at this time?
Of course it can only be to save people.
But it is basically impossible for the two of them to save so many people.
What's more, there is also the issue of stance.
Therefore, Chen Kuang was sure that they would come to him again and bring him some good news.
And is there anything that can only be obtained by going to the governor's house or even meeting him face to face?
Chen Kuang thought there were only two things, one was the head of the county guard, and the other was the contents of the head of the county guard.
With the Cao Gang and the education officers here, the head of the county guard is useless, so... all that is left is what is in the head of the county guard.
For example, the complete list of people to be sacrificed.
Lin Eryou shook the feather fan in his hand and took a deep breath:
"Your master...what else did you say?"
He thought that there was absolutely no chance that Chen Kuang could guess his actions this time, at least he was a chess player playing against the opponent. But when he got here, he realized that he had been calculated so accurately that he was almost like a chess piece on the opponent's chessboard.
It turns out that Chen Kuang's previous performance was because he was caught off guard and got on the boat without much preparation?
However, this further supported his guess.
Behind Chen Kuang's back at this time, he has definitely contacted the remaining hidden power of the Liang Kingdom.
If there is no intelligence support, you can guess this point out of thin air. All the sects in the world that are good at the art of heaven and earth will worship Chen Kuang as their teacher...
But this also means that it is more difficult to win over Chen Kuang.
Because Lin Eryou's current actions will be an unexpected boost, and the weight of this bargaining chip will be even heavier.
However, Chen Kuang had guessed it, which meant that he should know that Lin Eryou came with a purpose, so the latter could not occupy a dominant position.
Even... that hidden power should be able to do the same thing.
Just maybe a little later.
Whether it can be saved or not, whether more people can be saved or less people can be saved, the difference is huge.
And Zhou Yanwei now only feels that he was on the boat at that time, just like a little white rabbit caught in a pack of wolves...
Fortunately, he actually wanted to save people at that time.
As a result, one or two of them were as scheming as the Netherworld Sea.
Qingcuo said: "He said that he will keep the two of you in mind for your help. If you want Ji Shao County, this is the right time."
"And if you want the entire Liang Kingdom, you might as well work harder and send us out. Then the dividends will naturally be distributed to the two of you. Whether it is more or less depends on how much you can pay."
Lin Eryou blinked and smiled: "It seems that heroes have the same views."
Qingcuo put away the list and said, "Do you two want to wait a little longer or leave now?"
Zhou Yanwei looked at the sky and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
They came here with the purpose of helping the Chen family. Even if Chen Kuang is busy for some reason and doesn't see guests, there is no need for them to leave.
They couldn't save so many people, but they could still delay it for the Chen family.
Qingcuo nodded and made a gesture of invitation: "Then please move into the courtyard, and I will make tea for you two."
"The Chen family still has some troubles that I need to solve..."
In front of Chen's house, a group of officers and soldiers lined up in order.
An officer came forward and said loudly: "The Dragon King entrusted a dream to the county guard. The Chen family is full of people who need sacrifices! Come out to me!"
The expressions of everyone in the Chen family who were in the hall suddenly changed.
At this moment, the Chen family's hall was already filled with some of the remaining belongings that had been counted. The gold, silver, and jade were so full that it was dazzling to see.
It can be seen that they have tried their best to clean up as quickly as possible, but they are still a step late.
Chen Rong's face was dark: "The Cao Gang... are really so vicious! They actually want to do something absolutely right!"
Chen An looked firm: "Dad, I will never let anything happen to the Chen family today!"
Most of the people in the entire South Pier are from the Chen family, and they are ready to go.
In addition, he has already sought help from the "Tuan Zhengguan". At this time, there is already an innate and a nine-meridian master waiting for him.
It's just... I don't know if I can get out.
As the branch president, he knows best how powerful the Cao Gang is.
Gantang nervously grabbed Chen Ning next to him and whispered hurriedly: "Go and ask your eldest brother to leave through the back door quickly, so he can find it back. Outsiders don't know about this, so they can still hide it!"
She was so miserable inside that she couldn't wait until the child could truly calm down.
I haven’t made up for the wealth I gained in those thirteen years.
The Chen family was about to fall apart overnight...
Chen Ning looked pale, nodded, and was about to turn around and leave.
"etc!"
Chen Rong suddenly stopped her, took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of gold and silver coins from the side and stuffed them into Chen Ning's hand: "Follow your brother and don't come back!"
Chen Ning suddenly choked up: "Dad..."
Chen Rong said in a deep voice: "Your eldest brother is not simple. Neither your second brother nor I have been able to find out his identity over the years... If you follow him, you might have a greater chance of escaping."
"It was me who felt sorry for him back then and asked him, a six-year-old baby, to save the lives of our whole family. Naturally, I couldn't let him suffer with us again."
"Go, or it will be too late."
Chen Ning held back her tears, grabbed the gold and silver in her hand, gritted her teeth, turned around, and ran towards the east wing.
This is not the time for crying and loving children.
The eldest brother and father must have made such a decision after careful consideration. If she still hesitates and says she won't leave now, she would be too ignorant.
As soon as Chen Ning walked out of the hall, the officer outside lost patience, raised his hand high and ordered: "Break down the door!"
"Everyone go in and arrest people! Remember, everyone you can see will be arrested by me!"
"If you dare to resist, you will be punished on the spot!"
The so-called rectification of the law on the spot naturally means to kill without mercy.
The two adults have already given orders, just for this day, you can kill without worrying about the consequences.
The only regret in the officer's heart is that he cannot exchange his head for credit for killing someone...
Otherwise, he would have to kill everyone in the Chen family today to be happy!
"ah!"
The first person from the Chen family who saw him was a boy. When he saw the officers and soldiers barging in, he immediately turned pale with fright. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"
The officers and soldiers at the front smiled ferociously, raised their swords, and pierced the boy's chest with the sword, shouting: "How dare you resist and hit me with your head? I think you want to die!"
The boy was stunned, looking down at the sword on his chest, blood streaming from his mouth: "I...I didn't resist..."
"boom!"
The officer and the soldier withdrew their swords and kicked the boy away, hitting the screen wall behind him and causing a pool of dazzling blood to flow out.
"Boom!"
A sound of thunder.
Dark clouds have covered the entire sky.
Similar things are happening in countless places throughout Jishao County.
On the building not far from the Chen Mansion, a white-browed Taoist with an immortal spirit was suspended in mid-air, holding up a dark soul flag in his hand.
The flags unfolded in the wind, and in an instant, countless gray resentful souls spewed out from it, surrounding him, and their momentum gradually increased.
It was the Jingshan Taoist invited by the county guard.
Taoist Jingshan cast his gaze downwards and saw a little girl coming out of the hall and heading straight to the east wing.
And the east wing is naturally where Chen Kuang is.
"Haha... It's so affectionate."
Taoist Jingshan's eyebrows became more kind and he stroked his beard: "In that case, let's start with you."
The soul flag in his hand was fluttering, and a large number of resentful souls were about to rush towards Chen Ning.
"Whoosh——"
A long sword suddenly flew towards me, Taoist Jingshan's expression changed, and the resentful soul immediately changed its direction: "Who is here!"
The resentful soul is in chaos, carrying poisonous mist, and wants to corrode everything in front of it.
The long sword had even more divine light, and split the chaos as it spun.
It's just that I can't stand the corrosiveness of the poisonous mist of the resentful soul, and it corrodes and melts in it.
Both will perish together and be eliminated together.
Qingcuo's figure stood on the roof, looking at him calmly, without saying anything, and the next moment the figure had disappeared.
Taoist Jingshan looked solemn for a moment, but then he laughed again:
"It turns out that he is just a person who has just broken through the sea-opening realm...how brave he is!"
"Keng!"
Qingcuo changed his sword and struck Taoist Jingshan on the neck with one sword, making the sound of gold and iron clashing and sparks flying.
The Taoist turned his head 180 degrees, looked at her strangely with his kind face, and said with a smile: "If I kill you, then Chen Kuang will have no helpers, right?"
Qingcuo thrust his sword into his mouth.
"vomit!"
Suddenly, a bunch of millipedes spurted out from the Taoist's mouth and flew over.
These bugs have a strange appearance, and each one's body is actually filled with internal organs.
It looked like a bunch of internal organs were spewed out of the mouth!
Qingcuo frowned: "The corpse refining method of the Blood Era Cult, you are a southern barbarian!"
The Taoist was stunned: "How did you know?!"
Qingcuo said calmly: "You don't need to know."
With a twist of the long sword in her hand, she actually cut her arm open, letting the blood flow out, and then recited an obscure incantation.
Following this spell, all those visceral millipedes stagnated in mid-air, and then began to wither and shrink, losing their vitality!
They all fell down one by one...
The Taoist's pupils tightened and he was shocked: "You... you are... no, stop!!! Stop! I can tell you an important news!!!"
Qingcuo has not stopped, she has always cut the grass and roots without any hesitation.
In desperation, the Taoist shouted: "It has something to do with Chen Kuang!"
Qingcuo paused and said, "Speak faster."
…
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise like thunder, and Chen Kuang instantly felt a familiar sense of oppression and the smell of death.
Then...it was the familiar prison cell again.
One big and one small looked at each other.
They're back again.
Because of Chu Wenruo's scream, Chen Kuang's abnormal existence was discovered. Li Hongling, who was still alive in the environment, fell from the sky and knocked the two of them back to their birth point.
"Li Hongling only killed me, but this illusion also went back in time."
Chen Kuang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems that now the owner of the illusion is not only you, but also me."
The little princess calmed down and immediately grasped the key word: "Illusion?"
