Gu Huajin has a sincere look on his face, his official robes are fluttering, and he has a handsome demeanor, quite a bit like a good young man in troubled times.

"Why don't you give him some face?"

Zhang Qingmo smiled and said, "His reputation is pretty good in Longyuan. Apart from the Fang family's young master, Hua Jin is considered one of the younger generation of Longyuan to carry the cauldron."

Tie Tang thought for a moment and made a quick decision.

"Okay!"

"I'd like to ask the magistrate to keep watch here. I'll go and come back." Gu Tianlu is in the secret place of witchcraft, and Tie Tang is worried without Magistrate Zhang here.

"The iron catcher can rest assured, I am here, and he can't fly without wings!"

Tie Tang turned around and left, leaving the county government office to look for Wang Andao.

He didn't know Gu Huajin's personality, but with Zhang Qingmo as his guarantee... he thought it wouldn't be too bad.

In addition, he was worried about Yuan Hua's safety and wanted to come out first to confirm.

The streets are busy with traffic, porters, and merchants everywhere. There are many gentlemen in the streets and beautiful ladies traveling with their servants.

Everything looks...the same as before.

It's as if yesterday's fierce battle outside Nancheng had never happened.

Following the guidance of the county government officer, Tie Tang found Wang Andao in a horse racing shop in Dongcheng.

As soon as he walked in.

Then I saw a rich man in gorgeous clothes walking up with a smile.

"Oh, the iron catcher is here, please come quickly. You showed your power yesterday and protected me, Long Yuan. It's a shame that the common people have no chance to see you."

"Do you know me?"

"Who doesn't know the name of Longyuan now?" Shopkeeper Ma Xing nodded and bowed, his face full of respect.

Wang Andao on the side laughed loudly, "Tietou, a painter painted on the spot yesterday and recorded your appearance.

Nowadays, Longyuan City is full of your portraits, and I don’t know how many ladies are attracted to you.

I just walked along the way and listened to a lot overtly and covertly."

"What are you talking about?"

Tie Tang waved his hand and suddenly asked, "Huh? Didn't they publicize those lands and the achievements of the mountain gods?"

He promised those gods, but he didn't want to go back on it easily.

The shopkeeper of Ma's Shop quickly said, "Yes, yes. Yesterday and today, the police posted notices everywhere, explaining the cause and effect. We already know it.

Many people were killing pigs and sheep this morning, and they all went to the surrounding temples and ancestral halls to pay their respects to the gods."

"Let's go, Tie Tang, go out and talk." Wang Andao winked and walked out of the horse shop with Tie Tang.

When they reached a slightly secluded place, the two stopped.

"How is it? Have you found anyone?"

"People are just afraid of disappearing."

Tie Tang's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew that Lao Wang wouldn't talk nonsense, he still couldn't believe it.

"How to say?"

After glancing around a few times and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Wang Andao revealed what he had just discovered.

"I found the hunter who gave you the brocade box yesterday, and after questioning it carefully, I determined that the merchant who gave him the brocade box...should be Yuan Hua himself!"

Tie Tang was surprised, "So bold? Isn't he afraid of being discovered by others?"

"Tietou, what he gave you must be extremely important, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person. Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"

"Nine Apertures Wuji Pill...can it be considered valuable?"

"It doesn't count!"

Wang Andao shook his head, "Nine Apertures Wuji Pill is naturally of great help to ordinary people, but when it comes to you and me... the power of the medicine is very limited."

"That's not right..." Tie Tang sensed it carefully.

"This elixir is very powerful, and its flushing power is extremely strong. It's like there is an extra large Qingling Earth Milk in my body, which is constantly smoothing the barriers of my acupoints.

I can feel...as long as I position myself a little, I can quickly penetrate twenty or thirty acupoints."

"What?"

"This is impossible!" Wang Andao was shocked. He lost control of his feet and crushed the green bricks of the long street to pieces on the spot, attracting the attention of a large number of passers-by.

But after they saw Tie Tang, they all rushed up to him, and some even bowed to him.

"Thank you Iron Catcher!"

"Thank you Iron Catcher!"

"You are our benefactor, Longyuan. Fortunately, you took care of that evil dragon, otherwise we might have perished in the flood."

"Tie Captou, we are already working together to build the Ten Thousand People Umbrella. I hope the imperial court can transfer you here."

.........

Tie Tang was dumbfounded and quickly raised his hand, "Thank you for everyone's kindness. In fact, Tie Tang didn't do anything yesterday, it was just a little effort.

Now that Tie is involved in an important case, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time."

After saying this, he did not wait for a reply, he used eight steps to catch the cicada, and disappeared in the eyes of everyone with a few leaps.

"The iron catcher is really humble. There are too few such honest officials nowadays!"

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that he is not the chief arrester of our Longyuan City."

"If only he could come here!"

.........

In a dilapidated pavilion, there are dense cobwebs all around, and geckos crawl over the ruined walls from time to time.

"What happened to them? I asked myself that what they did... was not as great as they said."

Wang Andao leaned against the dilapidated stone wall with his arms crossed.

"It should be Zhang Qingmo who worked behind the scenes and wrote about your achievements on the notice, hoping to portray you as Long Yuan's savior.

He really likes you and seems to want you to stay."

Tie Tan shook his head, "There are all kinds of bells and whistles. Let's not talk about this. Let's continue talking about Yuan Hua."

Wang Andao became serious and said solemnly, "Tietou, you have penetrated one hundred and forty-four acupoints.

With the power of the Nine Aperture Wuji Pill... it is absolutely impossible for you to feel that way.

Either——

You just sensed it wrong!

Either——

What you are taking is not the Nine Aperture Wuji Pill!"

After pondering for a moment, Tie Tang rejected Wang Andao's statement.

"I was so tired yesterday that when I got to the guest room, I didn't even open the brocade box. I just fell asleep and had no idea how the elixir fell into my stomach.

But with Zhang Qingmo’s vision and knowledge, he shouldn’t be wrong, right?”

"Can you feel what that pill looks like?"

Tie Tang closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his thoughts into his body, sensing it carefully.

"This great elixir has nine orifices all over its body, and it seems to breathe with my breathing. It's strange...why does it not seem to shrink at all after so long?

Logically speaking... the potency of the medicine has already been dissipated a lot."

Wang Andao was also confused, "According to your description...it is indeed the Nine Aperture Wuji Pill, but how is it possible that it hasn't changed since last night?"

Tie Tang was shocked and thought of a possibility.

"There are other things hidden in the Great Pill!"

Wang Andao exclaimed, "The elixir is hidden in the elixir! It's unmistakable. It must be like this. Otherwise, it would take just a few hours for your body to refine the Nine Aperture Wuji elixir, and it would be impossible to maintain it until now.

It seems that Yuan Hua really gave you a good thing.

It's a pity...I guess he won't last long."

"What do you know?"

"After I learned that the merchant might be Yuan Hua, I asked him about his whereabouts, and sure enough I got some clues.

In fact, on the day of the Qujiang feast, he booked two fast horses at the same horse racing shop.

According to the shopkeeper, Yuan Hua was very generous, giving him twice the deposit and three times the rent.

The only condition... is that the time to pick up the horse is uncertain, but it will be today at the latest.
