Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

Seeing that Song Renqiang seemed really angry, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to talk back anymore, but honestly apologized and admitted his mistake.

Song Renqiang was still angry.

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for the life-long friendship between your father and I, I wouldn't have taken so much pains to support you. During this time, you should be honest to me, especially to build a good relationship with Commander Zhao. Listen. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, don't worry, godfather!"

After Li Chunfeng's repeated assurances, Song Renqiang left.

After he left, Li Chunfeng had nowhere to vent his anger, and actually pointed the finger at Zhao Ya.

"Damn it, it's all your surname Zhao's fault for causing me to get slapped. Just wait and see, I will trample you under my feet sooner or later, and by then even your little bitch will belong to me!"

Li Chunfeng cursed and said harsh words, and then left.

But little did he know that as soon as he walked away, Zhao Ya appeared from behind a bush of flowers.

He had heard the entire conversation between Song Renqiang and Li Chunfeng just now, including Li Chunfeng's last act of cruelty.

This Song Renqiang is quite aware of the overall situation, but is this Li Chunfeng...?

To say he is a waste would be an understatement.

Zhao Ya glanced deeply at the direction Li Chunfeng left, and then quietly disappeared into the flowers.

At night.

Li Chunfeng, who was drunk with a few friends, staggered towards his residence.

"Stretch out your hands and touch my sister's head. The scent of osmanthus is on my sister's head..."

Li Chunfeng was humming and singing "Eighteen Touches", but in his head he was wondering which girl he should go to tonight.

Why don't you try looking for Xia Hongyu again?

It's been so long, and the guy who secretly attacked me must have forgotten about it.

The more Li Chunfeng thought about it, the more reliable it became, and his steps involuntarily moved in the direction of Huanyifang.

There is a large pond next to Huanyifang, and the dirty water from washing clothes is poured into it. Even the water used to clean the toilet is also poured into it. In the summer, it is very smelly.

Even though it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water inside still won't freeze, and you can still smell the pungent stench when you get close.

It was already dark when Li Chunfeng walked to the pond, and he began to think about how to get out Xia Hongyu.

At this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Li Chunfeng was startled, and when he looked back, he found Zhao Ya standing behind him.

"Zhao... Commander Zhao, why are you here?" Li Chunfeng suppressed the panic in his heart and forced a smile.

"Oh, I just passed by here and saw you standing here, so I came over to say hello." Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"It's true that you're still up so late. Why are you hanging around Huanyifang?"

"Oh, I just drank too much and took the wrong road. I'm going back now!" Li Chunfeng explained, turning around and leaving.

"Did you take the wrong path, or did you come here to find someone?" Zhao Ya said calmly.

"Huh? Commander Zhao, what are you talking about?" Li Chunfeng looked confused.

Zhao Ya chuckled lightly and said in a playful tone: "I guess you are here to find Xia Hongyu!"

Li Chunfeng's face instantly turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning.

"That...that night..."

"Yes, that person was me that night!"

Li Chunfeng instantly felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end. He was frightened out of his drunken state and turned around to run away.

But it was too late, Zhao Ya grabbed his neck from behind and strangled his screams in his throat.

Li Chunfeng was originally of low strength, but now he was drained by drinking and sex. How could he be Zhao Ya's opponent.

In addition, he was short in stature, so Zhao Ya carried him to the pond like a little chicken.

Li Chunfeng immediately understood what fate awaited him, so he struggled hard with a look of horror on his face.

"To be honest, if you had listened to your godfather and stopped doing bad things from now on, I might not have killed you. It's a pity that you can't live for your own misfortune, and you can't blame others for it."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya pinched Li Chunfeng's neck with one hand, took out a small bottle with the other hand, and poured all the medicine in the bottle into Li Chunfeng's mouth.

Li Chunfeng struggled hard, but how could he be Zhao Ya's opponent.

After half of the bottle of medicine was gone, Li Chunfeng felt dizzy, his whole body was limp, and he no longer had any strength.

"How's it going? This feels familiar, right?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Li Chunfeng was filled with despair.

This feeling was indeed very familiar to him, because he often used sweat medicine to deal with women who refused to submit.

But he didn't expect that he would end up like this.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng had completely lost his strength, Zhao Ya let go of his hand.

thump!

Water splashed everywhere.

Li Chunfeng wanted to struggle, but he couldn't exert any strength, and couldn't even shout for help. He could only let the cold water slowly submerge him.

And the last scene he saw was Zhao Ya standing on the shore smiling.

At this time Li Chunfeng finally felt regretful.

He should have listened to his godfather and established a good relationship with Zhao Ya.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The water soon completely submerged him.

Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he calmly waited on the shore, counting silently in his heart.

One, two….

Finally, when the count reached almost sixty, many bubbles appeared on the water, but after just over a minute, these bubbles disappeared.

After a while, Li Chunfeng's body slowly floated to the surface.

After making sure that he could not die anymore, Zhao Ya turned his head and glanced at Huanyifang in the distance.

At this time, the lights were still on in Huanyifang.

The people who stay here are the lowest servants of the Song family, who are responsible for washing all the clothes and cleaning items in the whole house.

Because of the heavy workload, I often work overtime at night.

That Xia Hongyu must also be busy at this time.

But Zhao Ya just glanced at it, then turned and left.

To him, killing this Li Chunfeng was no different than killing a chicken.

If it wasn't for the purpose of hiding from others, Zhao Ya would have taken action directly on that path during the day.

Now that the matter was completed, Zhao Ya also felt relieved. He walked briskly away from the night watchman and went home to sleep.

As soon as it gets dark, Xia Hongyu wants to get up and get busy.

This is her habit. No matter how late she was busy last night, she would get up on time in the morning.

Because only in this way can we wash more clothes, earn more money, and buy more medicine.

Because of this habit, she was also dubbed as crazy for money by the female workers who worked together, and even ridiculed her.

But Xia Hongyu never argued, she just worked silently.

Sometimes even the mother-in-law in charge can't stand it anymore, so she will say a few words for her.

Over time, she was isolated by all the female workers.

But this is exactly what Xia Hongyu expected.

She doesn't want to have contact with anyone.

Especially what happened last time, because I believed the words of a female worker in my room, so I went shopping with her, and ended up being drugged by Li Chunfeng without knowing it.

If he hadn't been saved by the masked hero, he would have died long ago.

Because of this, Xia Hongyu became more and more wary.

Today, she was washing clothes with her head down as usual. Suddenly she heard a commotion outside, and then a female worker shouted loudly.

"Someone drowned!"

"Oh my God, it looks like a man!"

Hearing the shout, Xia Hongyu raised her head and looked outside the courtyard with some confusion.

The pond outside the courtyard was indeed dangerous, and she had to be extremely careful even when dumping the dirty water.

But except for the female laundry workers like myself, no one would go near this pond on weekdays.

Especially a man.

Xia Hongyu hesitated, put down her work, and followed the crowd to the edge of the pool.

At this time, Li Chunfeng's body had been hooked to the shore with a pole.

Even though her face was a little swollen after soaking in the pond all night, Xia Hongyu recognized Li Chunfeng at a glance.

What happened that night left such a huge shadow on her that she still has nightmares even now.

But now the evil man who coveted him was dead, in a pond not far from his work.

It is conceivable that he must have come here last night.

Then what is he doing here in the middle of the night?

Xia Hongyu felt cold all over her body and couldn't stop shivering.

Because Xia Hongyu knew very well that if Li Chunfeng had not drowned, something would have happened to him last night.

Thank God, whether he fell into the water or was killed, he finally died.

Xia Hongyu thought silently in her heart.

At the same time, Song Renqiang also arrived after hearing the news.

When he saw Li Chunfeng's swollen body, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Although Song Renqiang sometimes gets angry at his godson for not living up to expectations, after all, he is the descendant of his best friend, so he is still very affectionate.

But I didn't expect that yesterday, I was fine, but overnight I was separated from yin and yang.

"What's going on?" he asked a villager who was inspecting the body.

"When I returned to the housekeeper, I didn't find any suspicious injuries on Leader Li's body. Judging from the traces on the scene, he probably fell into the water accidentally and fell into the water."

Song Renqiang said nothing with a gloomy face, and suddenly turned his head to look at the female workers not far away.

"You are the closest here. Did you hear any noise last night?"

"Go back to the housekeeper, we didn't hear anything last night!" A bold female worker responded with a trembling voice.

Song Renqiang frowned, his eyes passing over the faces of each female worker.

It's okay for others to say that although they are scared, they have no other thoughts.

Only Xia Hongyu had many things hidden in her heart, so when Song Renqiang's sharp eyes looked at her, her face instantly turned pale.

Such anomalies naturally attracted Song Renqiang's attention.

In fact, he was a little surprised as to why Li Chunfeng stayed awake in the middle of the night and came here.

But when he saw that Xia Hongyu could not hide her beauty even though she was wearing simple clothes and no makeup, Song Renqiang couldn't help but understand.

His godson's coming here must have something to do with this woman.

However, Song Renqiang was so sophisticated that he didn't show any abnormality at that time. Instead, he turned around and asked, "Who came to drink with Chunfeng last night?"

Several villagers stood up tremblingly.

"Is there anything unusual about the spring breeze when you are drinking?"

"No... nothing unusual!" one of them said.

"No, when Leader Li was drinking last night, didn't he mutter that he didn't like Zhao Ya and would deal with him if he had the chance..." said a villager next to him.

Song Renqiang was shocked when he heard this and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Nonsense!"

Then he rushed forward and gave the villager a slap in the face.

"Can you pronounce the name Zhao Ya? Moreover, Commander Zhao and I have a good relationship with father and son, and Chunfeng admires him very much. How can you say such a thing? I think you are just confusing right and wrong."

The village man was so frightened that he stood there in a daze, covering his cheek.

An unspeakable fear suddenly emerged in Song Renqiang's heart.

Because Zhuang Ding’s words reminded him.

If... Li Chunfeng is really killed by Zhao Ya, will he have to deal with me next?

The reason why Song Renqiang was so attentive to Zhao Ya these days, even to the point of flattery, was because he had a strong sense of crisis.

You must know that this Zhao Ya was personally recruited into the mansion by Tan Ziwang. Now that he has soared into the sky, it also means that Tan Ziwang, who has been suppressed by him before, will hopefully make further progress.

That's not what Song Renqiang wants to see.

But if not him, who would it be?

Song Renqiang was in a state of confusion.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then Zhao Ya and Tan Ziwang separated from the crowd and walked over.

When he saw the corpse on the ground, Zhao Ya couldn't help but said with surprise: "Isn't this Leader Li? What's going on?"

Seeing them coming, Song Renqiang became more and more uneasy.

At this time, he had long forgotten the death of his godson, and all that was left was fear.

But he still pretended to be sad.

"Yes, it's that kid from Chunfeng. He somehow ended up here after drinking last night. He fell into the water while drunk, and ended up like this."

Song Renqiang took the initiative to characterize the incident as drunkenness and falling into the water, and then carefully observed Zhao Ya's reaction.

But he was disappointed.

He found nothing but shock on Zhao Ya's face.

On the other hand, Tan Ziwang sighed when he saw this.

"I had long thought that this pond was dangerous, but no one cared about it, and finally something happened."

If it had been normal, Song Renqiang would have argued with Tan Ziwang, but now he was no longer in that mood.

"People cannot be resurrected after death. Butler Song, please don't worry too much." Zhao Ya comforted him.

This was an ordinary comforting statement, but Xia Hongyu in the crowd was shocked when she heard it, and then looked at Zhao Ya in great surprise.

That night, before leaving, the masked hero also said these four words to himself: "Don't worry about it."

And both the tone and voice are so similar.

Could it be... it's him?

Xia Hongyu's heart was filled with emotions.

"Thank you, Commander Zhao, for your comfort, but how can I not be sad? Alas."

Song Renqiang lamented, wiped away the non-existent tears, then had Li Chunfeng's body collected and staggered away.

After he left, Zhao Ya glanced at the female workers not far away and smiled slightly.

"You should disperse as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhao Ya also left.

After he left, the female workers gathered together to discuss excitedly.

"Wow, this guard commander is so young!"

"I heard that he fought off a group of robbers by himself and saved the eldest lady. It's really amazing."

"He's so handsome, and he even smiled at me!"

"Stop dreaming, that's just smiling at me!"

Amid the discussion, Xia Hongyu gradually regained her composure, then silently turned back and continued her work.

It's just that Xia Hongyu is always a little absent-minded due to the busy day.

evening.

After dinner, Xia Hongyu did not continue working, but asked her mother-in-law for leave.

The mother-in-law in charge was quite fond of her.

After all, Xia Hongyu works diligently and never picks and chooses. Who wouldn't like such a worker?

So after a few simple questions, the housekeeper gave her a pass.

The rules of the Song family are very strict, and servants must have a pass if they want to enter or exit.

Xia Hongyu took the pass and came to the back corner door. This is where hired lower-level servants like Xia Hongyu usually come in and out.

The guard in front of the door knew her, and after taking a look at the pass, he gave a kind reminder.

"Try to come back as soon as possible, it's not peaceful outside right now."

Xia Hongyu nodded gratefully and then left the Song family.

She first went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for her injuries with all the money she had, and then walked out of the pharmacy with helpless or sympathetic eyes from the pharmacy clerk.

After walking along the street for a while, Xia Hongyu turned into a small alley, then turned around, and finally came to the door of a small courtyard.

The courtyard door was ajar, Xia Hongyu pushed it open, and then an old voice came from the room.

"Is it Ruby?"

"It's me, grandpa!" Xia Hongyu agreed, opened the door curtain and walked into the house.

The room was dark and filled with a strong stench.

Xia Hongyu lit the oil lamp.

There was a scrawny old man lying on the kang.

There were several scars on the old man's chest that were deep enough to show the bones, as if he had been caught by some raptor.

Despite the cold weather, the wound became infected and rotted due to lack of medical treatment.

Xia Hongyu first tidied up the room, changed the bed sheets and bedding for the old man, and then carefully took out a small bottle.

The bottle contained a little black ointment, and Xia Hongyu cherished it and applied it little by little on the old man's wound.

But the wound is so big, how can this little ointment be enough?

It's nothing more than a psychological comfort.

Seeing Xia Hongyu's visibly thin chin, the old man sighed and said, "Good boy, it's grandpa that I've caused trouble for you."

"Don't say that, grandpa. Without you, I wouldn't be alive now." Xia Hongyu said very calmly.

Then she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, do you know Changlong Escort Agency?"

"Changlong Escort Agency? Why do you ask this?" the old man asked strangely.

"It's nothing. It's just that a person from the Changlong Escort Agency joined the Song family during this time."

"Of course I know about Changlong Escort Agency. Speaking of which, their chief escort chief Meng Lei had a good relationship with me at the beginning. Sometimes if the escorts were too big and they couldn't eat, they would call us. After all, our Jinsheng Escort Agency was also the city of Dancing Elephant at that time. It’s such a resounding font size.”

The old man showed a trace of nostalgia, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

But soon the light was extinguished, and the old man said in a low tone: "Unfortunately, none of them exist anymore. Jinsheng is gone, Changlong has also fallen. Except for a few of the old friends who have taken refuge with the Hong family, the rest Very few even survived.”

Xia Hongyu was silent.

The room was unusually quiet.

It wasn't until a while later that the old man recovered from his depressed state.

"What was the name of the person who joined the Song family? What is his current level of cultivation?"

"His name is Zhao Ya. He seemed to be just a handyman of the Changlong Escort Agency at first, but now he has reached the third level of cultivation. Not long after he joined the Song family, he was promoted to the commander of the bodyguards."

Xia Hongyu told everything she knew about the situation, except that she concealed what happened that night.

In fact, she didn't know much about the Three Realms and Not Three Realms. Although she came from a bodyguard family, her father thought that a girl could just learn a little bit about female celebrities, so he didn't teach her any martial arts.

When the Hong family made a bold move and the escort agency suffered a big change, both her parents died in the battle. She only managed to escape with the help of her grandfather Xia Feiying's desperate protection.

But because of this, Xia Feiying was seriously injured and was half paralyzed in bed.

After listening to his granddaughter's story, Xia Feiying's eyes lit up.

"Oh? You said that this person is already a warrior of the third realm before he is eighteen years old?"
