"I want to know first what Fu Yuanlong did in Canglong County."
Sun Yourong frowned and asked.
"Okay."
Immediately, Xu Chong explained everything in detail from beginning to end, including the arrangements he made for the arrest.
"Something's wrong!"
Sun Yourong is decisive.
"What's wrong?"
"The time limit he gave you should not be ten days."
"You will be cured in ten days. Of course I have to catch you within ten days. Is there any problem?"
"Because it takes ten days to recover, but it only takes five days to regain your ability to move freely!"
Sun Yourong lowered her head slightly, with doubts in her eyes, "In five days, as long as I don't appear in an open place, it will be almost impossible for ordinary people to find me."
"Five days... My arrest plan is arranged based on ten days. It is impossible for Fu Yuanlong not to know, but he did not object."
Xu Chong's expression was a little depressed, "It seems that his original plan was to wait for you to recover and continue to hunt you down. He didn't expect us at all."
Having done so much, I am afraid that in Fu Yuanlong’s eyes, I will be ridiculously stupid.
"It doesn't really look like it."
Sun Yourong denied it again, "Of course he can continue to chase me after I recover, but then things will be back to the starting point, and his efforts over the past few months will be in vain. Moreover, what if I keep hiding? He will also spend time together.
Here?"
"He wants to monopolize the credit, and it's impossible to waste it with you... In that case, he has other ways to catch you!"
When he thought of this, Xu Chong broke into cold sweat and looked out the window suspiciously.
"Don't worry, if he had taken action outside, he wouldn't have waited so long."
Sun Yourong expressed relief.
"That's good."
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, then frowned tightly, "What will be the solution?"
"I can't think of it either."
Sun Yourong shook her head, "But it doesn't matter. As long as I survive these five days, I can contact Taiping Dao for help. It's not impossible to kill him by then."
"Wait!"
Xu Chong was horrified and asked: "Why didn't you contact me before?"
"At that time, Fu Yuanlong was chasing me very closely and didn't even give me a chance to deliver the news."
Sun Yourong replied, "When we arrived near Canglong County, he seemed to be delayed by something, and I was able to get out of his sight and sneak into the county."
"Delay? Is there such a coincidence?"
Xu Chong's eyes flickered and his face turned ugly: "Is it possible... that he did it on purpose?"
Sun Yourong was startled, "What do you mean?"
"You mean..."
Sun Yourong obviously thought of something, and her face turned ugly.
"The people of Taiping Road have a problem."
Xu Chong said categorically, "At least, there is something wrong with the person in charge of Canglong County. Fu Yuanlong let you into the city because he was waiting for you to ask for help!"
"..."
Sun Yourong was silent for a moment and had to agree with this inference, "It seems that the dark man took refuge in Fu Yuanlong very early."
"Dark son?"
Xu Chong's heart tightened, "Who? Does he know you have been looking for me?"
"I never thought of involving you, so naturally I won't mention it to anyone."
Sun Yourong glanced at Xu Chong faintly, "His name is Huo Tong. He lives in Huojia Village three miles east of the city. He is one of Taiping Dao's secret agents in Zhanghua Mansion. On the surface, he delivers firewood to the wealthy families in the city.
In fact, it is responsible for delivering information."
"Last time I came to see you, I left everyone on Taiping Road aside and told them through Huo Tong to meet at Zhanghua Mansion, but I was stopped by Fu Yuanlong halfway through."
"After calculation, the time just matches."
Huo Tong…
A rickety middle-aged figure appeared in Xu Chong's mind, "What state is he in?"
"The Sixth Level of Enlightenment."
"Huh? Only the sixth level of enlightenment?"
"..."
Sun Yourong was speechless for a while.
In her opinion, Xu Chong had just started practicing martial arts, and he was already as strong as the second and third levels. Why did he look so disdainful to the sixth level?
"Nothing is needed from you."
Worried that Xu Chong was overestimating his own capabilities, Sun Yourong quickly said, "I can give up asking for help and wait for the injury to heal in peace."
"What about after you recover? You have been hiding in the Xu Mansion and being my husband and raising children?"
Xu Chong sneered, and then his heart pounded: "Hmm... This seems not bad."
"..."
Sun Yourong was ashamed and annoyed. This was the first time she had encountered such a shameless person, "I can continue to escape!"
"Tch, are you sure Fu Yuanlong will still have the patience after ten days?"
Xu Chong smiled disdainfully, "If we really can't catch anyone alive, I think a dead Daozi would be enough for him to get his money back."
Hearing this, Sun Yourong also reacted and suddenly felt a little Muggle, "What else should I do? I can't..."
You can’t really stay in the Xu Mansion to be your husband and raise your children, right?
I agreed to it, but Taipingdao didn’t agree either.
Sun Yourong blushed and glanced at Xu Chong secretly.
"What should I do..."
Xu Chong pondered for a moment and suddenly came up with a bold idea, "Maybe we can use the trick..."
………
After dawn, Xu Chong replaced Liu Er and took up the responsibility of hunting again.
The two teams patrolling the streets and standing guard on the city wall are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the evening, when it was Xu Mansion's turn, Sun Yourong was not found.
Nothing special from now on.
Time passed day by day, and Fu Yuanlong never showed up again, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
The fifth day.
Materials in the city began to be in short supply, and people complained.
Fu Yuanlong loved the people like a son and ordered the south city gate to be opened in a targeted manner to maintain daily needs in the city.
The seventh day.
A stooped middle-aged man dragged a cart and delivered six bundles of firewood to the Xu family.
It is the secret son of Taiping Road, Huo Tong.
When leaving Xu Mansion, Huo Tong found the mark and a paper ball in the soil under the tree, turned around and went to the county government office.
"Sir, please take a look."
Huo Tong handed over the piece of paper respectfully, "The handwriting is the same as last time. It's definitely Sun Yourong."
Fu Yuanlong took it and took a look.
‘Inform the water ghost and we will respond at the south gate of Canglong County at Mao hour the day after tomorrow.’
In addition to one sentence, there is also a special symbol, like some kind of identity mark.
When he saw the word "water ghost", Fu Yuanlong's pupils shrank suddenly.
"The water ghost is the leader responsible for all the secret agents in Zhanghua Mansion."
Huo Tong explained, "This person is very hidden. Every time we meet, he wears a raincoat and a bamboo hat. His true identity cannot be guessed."
"I know this water ghost... Mr. Fu was assassinated four years ago, and the murderer left a message saying he was a water ghost. At that time, he had at least the fifth level of Tongmai."
Fu Yuanlong thought of the records in the Xueyiwei file, and his expression was not very good, "This Sun Yourong, can you please him?"
"Can't tell."
Huo Tong shook his head, "The relationships behind each generation of eighteen Taoist disciples on Taiping Road are complicated. This Sun Yourong appeared not long ago, and we still don't know where she came from."
"If you just want to escape, there is no need to invite such a big Buddha."
Fu Yuanlong touched his chin, "She doesn't want to kill me, right?"
"Maybe, but it's a pity..."
Huo Tong raised the corners of his lips and said in a proud tone, "This news cannot be sent out."
"Oh, that's right."
Fu Yuanlong smiled brightly and nodded with satisfaction, "If this happens, I will be able to become a member of the Sixth Rank Hundred Households. By then, it will not be a problem to promote a small flag, and the big medicine you want is only a trivial matter." p>
"Thank you, sir, for your support!"
Huo Tong looked excited, thinking about continuing to show off, and then said: "The secret letter was found outside the house named Xu Chong. Is it possible..."
"Stupid! If you were to change places, would you leave such obvious traces outside your hiding place?"
Fu Yuanlong twitched his lips in disdain, "What's more, Xu Chong was the maker and executor of the arrest plan, and he did not omit the two homes."
Thinking of Xu Chong's rigor and diligence in doing things, Fu Yuanlong became even more satisfied.
In his opinion, Xu Chong is the only one in the entire Canglong County who sincerely works for him, and there is no way he has anything to do with the rebels.
"That's what the adults said."
Huo Tong wiped his sweat and asked, "I wonder what the villain is going to do next?"
"It took a lot of effort to push Sun Yourong to this point, so naturally she used her plan."
Fu Yuanlong curled his lips and took out a small sachet from his arms, "This is Ecstasy. You should have heard of it."
"This... Sir, you want me to disguise myself as a water ghost?"
Huo Tong almost cried.
Ecstasy is the most notorious intoxicating drug of the Blood-Shirt Guards. It specifically targets the strength of warriors. In just a moment, those who are infected will become worse than ordinary people.
It's awesome, but the question is where would he have the chance to drug Sun Yourong!
Even if you disguise yourself as a water ghost, you won't find such an opportunity, right?
"Ecstasy doesn't have only one way to use it."
Fu Yuanlong showed contempt and said: "Put it close to your body and activate it with martial arts power. Although the effect of the medicine will be slower, it will be more subtle and difficult to detect."
"The only drawback is that you get hit too."
"But you can rest assured. Once it is confirmed that Sun Yourong has been intoxicated by the Ecstasy Incense, I will let those ordinary people rush forward and give you a chance to leave."
As he said that, Fu Yuanlong took a deep look at Huo Tong and said, "You want to gain benefits but also don't want to take risks. How can such a good thing happen? Don't forget, only the living Daozi can let me and you,
Get the most benefit."
Huo Tong struggled, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and took the sachet.
"A small person will live up to the expectations of adults."
