Half an hour later, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of the clinic.
The door opened, and a beautiful girl in simple clothes got out of the carriage.
She hurriedly walked into the clinic.
At this time, Xu Qiang's wounds had been treated and herbal medicine was applied.
With the help of the man, he changed into clean and tidy clothes and enjoyed a hearty meal.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed in the clinic, weak and resting with his eyes closed.
""Daddy!"
The girl's clear voice broke the silence in the clinic.
While shouting, she ran into the room in small steps.
When she saw her father with scars all over his body and a weak breath, the girl's tears poured out of her eyes like a flood.
Xu Qiang heard his daughter's call and tried to open his eyes.
Seeing his daughter return to him safely, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He tried to struggle to get up, but the big man next to him quickly dissuaded him:"Brother Xu, you'd better not move! The doctor specifically told you that your injuries are serious and you need to rest and recuperate."
" Daddy, just listen to the doctor and don't move."
The girl named Xu Xue hurried to the bedside and held her father's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern and love.
Seeing the father and daughter reunited, they must have a lot of intimate words to talk about. The big man was very tactful and quietly left the room, leaving this warm moment to them.
" It’s all my fault......I killed my dad." Xu Xue burst into tears, feeling guilty
"Xue'er, how can you be blamed for this? Dad knows that you were forced to do this. That Zhao Jiamu is really abominable, he didn't bully you, did he??"
Xu Qiang looked at his daughter with a worried look.
Xu Xue avoided his gaze and was silent for a while. She wiped her tears, forced a smile, and said,"He said he wanted to marry me in a formal way. How could he embarrass me?......"But you, Daddy, must have suffered a lot in the prison these days, right?"
Xu Qiang stretched out his hand and gently stroked his daughter's delicate cheek.
The face, which was originally slightly pale, looked even more haggard at this moment, but his eyes were full of endless love and pity for his daughter.
He smiled slightly, and replied in a low and firm voice:"As long as Xue'er can come back to me safely, Daddy is willing to endure any amount of suffering."
At this moment, Lu Ren walked into the room, glanced at the father and daughter in a hurry, and after making sure that the two were safe, he turned and left without staying for long...........
That night, the county town was as lively as usual.
Lu Ren stood on a high platform, with a panoramic view of the entire county town.
He raised his head slightly and stared at the sky.
The night sky was clear, and the bright moon was hanging high, casting a cool glow.
The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, as if foreshadowing that tomorrow would be a sunny day.
However, Lu Ren knew very well in his heart that such tranquility was only a brief peace before the storm.
He wondered to himself: Has my identity been exposed?
Perhaps the cunning and ferocious wolf demon is hiding in a dark corner, paying close attention to his every move.
And secretly sharpening its claws, carefully planning a hunting feast on the full moon night tomorrow night.......
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds rang through the streets.
Lu Ren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a horse galloping past.
On the horse's back sat a slender figure, wearing a bamboo hat and a red veil covering her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Despite this, it was not difficult to infer from her light and agile posture that this person must be a woman, and her cultivation level was not bad.
Not long after, Lu Ren noticed that among the bustling crowd, there was a figure moving swiftly among them.
It was Jiang Xiulian!
Although she was carefully disguised, Lu Ren already knew her inside out and was very familiar with her aura.
"Could it be that the woman in red gauze just now is Zhang Lanyue from Muyang Sect?"
Looking at Jiang Xiulian's nervous face and following closely behind him, Lu Ren couldn't help but smile slightly.
It must be said that her tracking skills are really poor.
If Zhang Lanyue had been a little more alert, or if she had not come here alone, she would have discovered Jiang Xiulian's whereabouts long ago.
Of course, there is another possibility.
Zhang Lanyue had actually noticed that Jiang Xiulian was following her, but she just didn't expose it.
No matter what the actual situation is, Jiang Xiulian's situation is quite dangerous at this moment.
Lu Ren had no choice but to follow carefully.
But Jiang Xiulian was completely unaware.
She didn't realize that while she was following others, she had also become the target of others' tracking.
……
Not long after, Lu Ren saw from afar that Zhang Lanyue got off the horse and walked into a mansion.
And that mansion was exactly the residence of Zhao Jiamu!
Lu Ren couldn't help but frowned deeply.
As a disciple of Muyang Sect, why did she come to see a county magistrate?
There must be something strange behind this.
Jiang Xiulian wandered outside the gate of Zhao's mansion for a while, and then climbed over the back wall.
This scene was seen by Lu Ren.
After entering the Zhao's mansion, Jiang Xiulian knocked out a maid who was sweeping the backyard, and then changed into her clothes.
Lu Ren sighed in his heart:"She is so brave."
He knew that the reason why Jiang Xiulian took such a risk was just to complete the task and get the elixir that could help her mother prolong her life...........
In the back garden, there was a peaceful and tranquil scene.
Zhao Jiamu was wearing gorgeous clothes and lazily lying on a recliner, surrounded by a group of lovely wives and concubines, who were serving him diligently, some of them handed him wine, some of them massaged his legs, and some of them fed him fruit.
"Husband, you just let Xu Xue go like that?"
The eldest lady sat on the right side, cracked a crystal clear grape and put it into Zhao Jiamu's mouth.
Zhao Jiamu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer:"She has already become my shape, she can't escape"
The lady felt relieved after hearing this, but still a little puzzled and said:"But the man who came today had bad intentions......."
" Hum, don't worry"
Zhao Jiamu shook the wine glass in his hand and said confidently:"I have sent people to rush out of the city to ask Elder Yan Hu to come and help."
" Elder Yan Hu?"The eldest lady looked puzzled.
" That's right" Zhao Jiamu's eyes flashed with pride,"He is a guest official of our Zhao family, with a high level of cultivation and deep trust from me.
Since I took office as the magistrate of Shanyang County, he has been responsible for protecting my safety.
Previously, since there was no danger around me, I temporarily let him stay in a quiet place outside the city to practice meditation."
At this point, Zhao Jiamu's eyes suddenly became fierce, filled with endless murderous intent:
" That bastard actually dared to ask me to announce his crimes in front of the whole city tomorrow night. He is simply courting death!
I will make him know what a miserable end it will be if he dares to offend our Zhao family!";
""Don't be angry, my husband."
The second wife on his left patted his chest and comforted him in a coquettish voice.
Zhao Jiamu's eyes slowly moved down, lingering on the seductive white scenery at the second wife's collar. A sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said teasingly:
"You seem to have grown a lot recently!"
The second wife said shyly,"This is all thanks to my husband's superb skills.~"
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then how about your husband kneading you again tonight?"
Zhao Jiamu asked jokingly.
""Yes, yes!" The second wife nodded excitedly.
The first wife watched them flirting and showing affection, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
"Husband, it is not my second sister's turn to serve you tonight!" She couldn't help but interrupt and remind him.
Zhao Jiamu thought for a moment and said,"Oh, yes.......Who is it tonight?"
The eldest lady looked very proud, and after glancing at the second sister with contempt, she smiled sweetly and said:
"It should have been the seventh sister's turn to serve you tonight, but you let her go. According to the order, it should be my turn tonight."
Zhao Jiamu was in a good mood and laughed:"Okay, okay, then let me love my eldest lady tonight."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, got into the eldest lady's clothes, and kneaded her without any scruples.
Since coming to Shanyang County, Zhao Jiamu has successively married these wives and concubines.
They are of similar age, and there is not much difference.
Although the title of eldest lady is there, she is actually only in her twenties, which is the prime of her life, young and beautiful.
"Husband!"The second wife on the side looked unhappy and muttered:
"The rules cannot be broken. Since Seventh Sister was supposed to sleep with me tonight, but she is not here, why don’t we have our elder sister?���Several people will serve you together."
Zhao Jiamu was overjoyed when he heard this:"This is a great idea!"
Seeing this, the eldest lady couldn't help but teasing:"Husband, are your kidneys really okay?"
"Madam, do you underestimate me? I just happened to find a strong medicine recently. I will make you all kneel down and beg for mercy!"Just as
Zhao Jiamu finished speaking, he was about to flirt with the girls around him when a sudden voice came.
"Sir, there is a woman outside who wants to see you, claiming to be from Muyang Sect"
"Muyang Sect?"
Upon hearing this familiar name, Zhao Jiamu immediately put away his playful intentions and said to the housekeeper who came to report with a serious face:
"Did she explain her purpose?"
The housekeeper stood respectfully in the distance and shook his head:"No."
Zhao Jiamu pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and signaled all the wives and concubines to leave.
"Please invite her in."
Soon, Zhang Lanyue walked in slowly under the guidance of the housekeeper.
Zhao Jiamu stood up to greet her.
But Zhang Lanyue simply ignored Zhao Jiamu and sat in his previous position.
Zhao Jiamu looked displeased and asked in a deep voice:"Who are you?"
"My name is Zhang Lanyue."
She took off her hat and veil, revealing a delicate face.
With bright eyes, white teeth and smooth skin, she was a rare beauty.
The moment Zhao Jiamu saw her true face, his eyes were instantly attracted, and his unhappiness disappeared.
He grinned and said,"Miss Zhang, what do you want from me?""
"I heard that your grandfather's words carry a lot of weight in the Zhao family?"
Zhao Jiamu didn't understand, but nodded:"My grandfather is the most authoritative person besides the head of the family."
"Three months later, during the hunt for geniuses at Tonggu Pass, can the Zhao family give my Muyang Sect an extra spot?"
"Hunting for the geniuses?" Zhao Jiamu looked a little serious, and said:"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Zhang Lanyue stared at him:"Difficult means, is there a way?"
Zhao Jiamu looked embarrassed:"You also know that this hunt is supervised by the governor himself, and most forces are only allocated one quota……"
Zhang Lanyue said impatiently:"Just tell me, can you do it?"
"I can try to ask my grandfather for help. He has some personal connections with the Governor. However,……"
He changed the subject,"Why should I help you?"
"What do you want?"
Zhao Jiamu knew that the other party had something to ask of him, so he sat down calmly.
"First, the quota cannot be given to anyone unless he can prove that he deserves it."
As he said this, he looked at Zhang Lanyue and asked,"Miss Zhang, you didn't fight for it for yourself, did you?"
Zhang Lanyue nodded and said,"The quota is for Li Yan."
"Li Yan?" Zhao Jiamu's expression changed obviously when he heard this name.
He was born in a noble family. Because he had no talent for cultivation, he chose to enter the court as an official and became a local emperor in Shanyang County.
However, he was influenced by his surroundings since he was a child, and his knowledge was much higher than that of ordinary people.
According to his understanding, Li Yan should be the direct disciple of the leader of Muyang Sect, and he was extremely talented. He broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm at the age of 30.
"With his strength, the quota of Muyang Sect was originally his, right?"Zhao Jiamu was extremely confused. Zhang Lanyue shook her head helplessly:"It was originally like this, but in the past two years, a young man suddenly appeared in the sect, and his cultivation speed was so fast that it was outrageous."
"More powerful than Li Yan?" Zhao Jiamu bulged his eyes.
"Well, within three years of his entry, he had broken through from the Initial Sensing Realm to the Condensing Qi Realm."
"How is this possible?"
Although Zhao Jiamu cannot practice, there are many talented people in his family. He knows very well how difficult it is to practice martial arts.
Even his arrogant cousin does not have such a terrifying talent?
"Who is this person you are talking about? Why haven't we heard any news about him in all these years?" Zhang Lanyue explained,"His name is Qiao Xuefeng. The master accepted him as his last disciple two years ago. His status is higher than Li Yan's.
But he was worried that if he exposed his talent too early, he would be coveted by others, so he kept him hidden until now."
"I see... So, Li Yan's spot was snatched away by him?"
"Yes." Zhang Lanyue gritted her teeth and said
"I understand, but...what is your relationship with Li Yan?" Zhao Jiamu asked curiously.
Zhang Lanyue hesitated for a moment:"I am his...wife-to-be."
"Oh?" Zhao Jiamu narrowed his eyes and showed an obscene smile:"It's quite interesting"
"Have you thought about the conditions?"
"Think it over"
"what would you like?"
"I want you!"
