Chapter 189 The dilemma of the Huashan faction
Li Jiang spent "quite a lot" of time to drive out the spirit-devouring internal power from the injured person's body.
When he turned around, sweating profusely, he found that Linghu Chong was already treating his second uncle.
Then there was only one injured person left, a senior sister who was moaning non-stop.
Li Jiang was speechless. Linghu Chong was so treacherous that he left this hot potato to himself.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Li Jiang's heart was racing, he immediately pretended to lose his strength, rolled his eyes and fell into Cao Chao's arms.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?" Cao Chao hugged Li Jiang and shouted in panic.
Linghu Chong opened his eyes, glanced at Li Jiang, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and said: "Chao'er, stop screaming. Your senior brother is working too hard. Help him find a bed over there and let him rest.
I’ll help you later.”
"Don't you need to send him back to his room?" Cao Chao asked, fearing that his elder brother wouldn't be able to rest well.
"No, your master is fine, go ahead!" Linghu Chong said with deep meaning.
"Uh." When Cao Chao heard his master say that Li Jiang was fine, he immediately muttered in his heart, "Master, didn't you see that the elder brother rolled his eyes?"
But he did not dare to question the master's decision, so he could only help Li Jiang find an empty bunk and put Li Jiang on it.
I'll go, Linghu Chong is cruel to you! It's true that the master has something to do and the disciple has to obey him. He is so good at shirking the blame. Li Jiang closed his eyes and cursed in his heart.
Half an hour later, Li Jiang "awoke" from his coma and weakly asked Cao Chao who was standing by: "Seventh Junior Brother, what's wrong with me?"
Seeing that he could speak, Cao Chao said with relief: "Sir, you just overworked and fainted. I was so anxious at the time, but the master said that you are fine and just let you rest for a while."
"Oh, actually I haven't fully recovered either..." Before Li Jiang finished speaking, Cao Chao stood up and shouted from a distance: "Uncle Qiao, senior brother is ready."
You idiot, can you really listen to what I have to say before calling someone? Li Jiang wailed in his heart.
Qiao Lingfeng heard the sound and came over, touched Li Jiang's wrist pulse with three fingers, nodded and said: "Senior brother, the leader, has exhausted his internal energy and has gone back to his room to recover. Before he left, he asked you to take over your Senior Aunt Zhang's treatment."
Well, you are more shameless than me? How dare you run away first! Li Jiang despised Linghu Chong and pretended to be nervous: "Is Master okay? I'll go see him."
"You, Senior Aunt Zhang, can't afford to delay. You've already fainted. Hurry up." Qiao Lingfeng made a serious face.
Li Jiang was helpless. Thinking of Senior Aunt Zhang's tomboyish appearance, he could only accept the task with a grimace.
In fact, he understood Linghu Chong very well. If there was a tigress in the family, he would definitely avoid contact with women. However, you can't cheat your apprentice.
Li Jiang walked up to Senior Aunt Zhang, looked at her fierce face, and said slyly: "Uncle Qiao, the sage said that men and women should not be intimate. Do you want to change..."
"Who should I replace him with? Stop talking nonsense. Doctors have a parental heart and there is no difference between men and women in their eyes." Qiao Lingfeng patted Li Jiang's head.
"Oh, okay! If Master Zhang wakes up and causes trouble for me, you have to help me withstand it!" Li Jiang made a request.
"Well, come to me if you have anything." Qiao Lingfeng nodded in agreement.
Li Jiang pressed down on Master Zhang's belly as if he was being tortured. In order to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, he accelerated the exorcism. Within an hour, he withdrew his hand, said okay, and then walked away.
Cao Chao was still jumping up and down behind him, calling, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, etc."
Li Jiang pretended not to hear, and moved so fast that Cao Chao felt that his senior brother had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Two more days passed, and Li Jiang stayed in the small dark room without leaving home. His juniors took turns delivering three meals to him.
The way he behaves, besides practicing cultivation, he is mainly hiding from Senior Aunt Zhang.
Fortunately, his fears did not come true and the hut was not violently demolished.
However, what cannot be avoided can never be avoided, and what should come will eventually come.
On the third day, when Zhao Shoujian delivered breakfast, he brought an order from Linghu Chong. Due to lack of manpower, Li Jiang needed to be transferred to join the investigation team.
Li Jiang was stunned after hearing this and asked: "Are there not enough manpower?"
"Yes." Zhao Shoujian counted Li Jiang's heads with his fingers, "On the second day we arrived, we lost two junior uncles, and then eight more were injured. Now ten are gone, and only fourteen are left.
"
"Except for the four of us, aren't there exactly five groups?" Li Jiang asked rhetorically.
"In order to strengthen the strength of each group, Master is now working in groups of three. I, Junior Brother Six, Junior Brother Seven, and the Master are staying behind. The rest are just three groups of people, who can investigate in three directions." Zhao Shoujian replied.
"That's not right. There are four people left behind, and there are ten people. How come they are divided into three groups? Isn't there one more person like me?" Li Jiang retorted.
"Oh, I counted one more. Uncle Qiao was sent back by the master to ask for help, so together with you, senior brother, there are nine in total." Zhao Shoujian scratched his head and said sheepishly.
Li Jiang nodded and considered the current situation of the Huashan Sect in his mind. Well, it can be described in one word: riding a tiger with difficulty.
A month ago, we held a loud swearing-in meeting and came to Qinghai to suppress bandits with great fanfare. As a result, there are now many old, weak, sick and disabled people, but we can't go back in despair, can we? It seems that we don't ask for help.
It really doesn't work anymore.
In fact, Li Jiang didn't want to be with his uncles. He wanted to act alone because he had his own goals.
The first one is to do justice for heaven, needless to say. The second one is his selfishness. He wants to secretly stock up on some Heart-Eating Grass. It is best to knock out the big boss of the Wusheng Sect and get the antidote from him.
recipe.
Although he did not agree with the Wusheng sect's style of killing innocent people indiscriminately, he felt that the Heart-Eating Grass was a good thing and a good way to control his subordinates.
You can't always fight alone in the future, so stock up on these things to be prepared.
After breakfast, Li Jiang left the customs.
He found Feng Fei and asked about his group status. When Feng Fei said that, Li Jiang was dumbfounded and he was assigned to Senior Aunt Zhang's group.
"Master Feng, please do me a favor and change the group." Li Jiang begged.
"No, this is arranged by your master. Besides, the other three groups have already set off, and this group is waiting for you. There is nothing your Uncle Feng can do to help." Feng Fei said, holding back his laughter and spreading his hands.
"Uncle Feng, are you not afraid that I will go with Senior Aunt Zhang and tell her that you peeped at her bathing?" Li Jiang threatened.
"Nonsense, I don't have any! Who dares to look at a tigress like her!" Feng Fei jumped to his feet and yelled.
"Oh, it turns out that Master Feng thinks Master Zhang is a tigress!" Li Jiang took advantage of his bald lips and immediately caught the loophole.
Feng Fei was dumbfounded, and only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Li Jiang. He smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, if you come back today, I will change the group for you, okay? And don't talk nonsense!"
"Then it's settled. Haha, I didn't expect Uncle Feng to be afraid of Senior Aunt Zhang?" Li Jiang joked.
