Chapter 4 Unexpected Gain

Chapter 4 Unexpected Gain

When Zhou Bai woke up.

The debris was being cleared on the street. The officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion carried the corpses of their colleagues covered with white cloth. They walked very slowly, and everyone had a gloomy look on their face.

There is not only the smell of blood in the air, but also the smell of sadness.

He was sitting in a corner of the street, with several of his catchers in front of him, all guarding him.

"I'm not dead?"

The memories before coma gradually returned.

He was hit by Chen Xiao's Five Poison Palm, and the poison entered his body. He consumed too much energy and could no longer resist, and finally fell down in grief and anger.

Yes, it is sadness and anger.

If the minister from the palace was willing to help, with the two of them working together, Chen Xiao would never be able to escape in his current state.

Chen Xiao is now in the middle stage of innate talent. When he recovers from his injuries, there will never be another opportunity as good as today.

Zhou Bai was secretly angry at Yu Xian's greed for life and fear of death, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Come here! Where is Yu Zongfeng from the palace? Did he escape?"

"Captain Zhou, are you looking for me?"

A voice came faintly from behind him.

Zhou Bai's hair stood on end all over his body. He turned around like a ghost and saw a pale face. His hair and temples were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, looking very tired.

"Yu Chongfeng! Why are you here?"

Yu Xian said with an innocent face: "Captain Zhou, why can't I be here? After all, I tried my best to save your life just now, why don't you even have a good look on your face?"

"You save me? The poisonous gas on my body?"

Only then did Zhou Bai realize that his paralyzed body had returned to normal. All the poisonous gas was forced into the palm of his right hand, which was being restrained by a powerful force.

When he recovers his true energy, it will only take some time to force the poisonous energy out of his body.

Thinking about it, it was Yu Zongfeng who was doing exercises to heal his injuries just now, which made his face look so tired.

Zhou Bai's face turned green and white. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I am grateful to you for saving my life, Yu Gongfeng, but Zhou will still truthfully report to the prince your timidity today.

No matter how the prince punishes him afterwards, Zhou is willing to bear it together with Yu Chongfeng. "

"Punishment? Why punish us?"

Yu Xian secretly suppressed a smile, but on the surface he pretended not to understand:

"And when did I show fear? Didn't I get caught? Your Majesty should reward me."

"ah?"

Zhou Bai looked confused, and then his eyes followed Yu Xian's finger.

They saw Chen Xiao, who was covered in bruises and half of his body was charred, unconscious. He was tied up and thrown aside.

Zhou Bai felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead, and his face quickly became congested and turned red.

Not only did he save himself, but he also captured the person.

And not only did I not give others a good look just now, I also wanted to complain to the prince.

This is simply... so embarrassing!

At this moment, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Seeing Zhou Bai's appearance, Yu Xian secretly pinched his thigh flesh to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

"Mr. Zhou, now that you are awake, I am relieved. In addition, Chen Xiao is the assassin who killed the prince. I have to take him to the palace and wait for the prince to deal with it. I wonder if you agree with it, Mr. Zhou?"

At this moment, Zhou Bai wanted to take Chen Xiao to the Yamen for interrogation, but he couldn't say anything and could only nod awkwardly.

"It should."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your accommodation."

Yu Xian clasped his fists in thanks, stood up and walked towards Chen Xiao, picked up the person and left.

One of the reasons why he stayed to act in this scene was that Zhou Bai was considered a good person. If such a person could lend a hand, he would lend a hand. Anyway, it would be a favor at no cost.

The other one is thinking that he has to retire in Prince Fu's Mansion. If his reputation for not being able to survive the battle today spreads, he won't have to mess around in the future.

Now that Chen Xiao has been caught by him, Zhou Bai has been favored by him, and the palace can handle it, the Yamen has to thank him.

And all he paid was a weakened version of the fireball technique.

It's really a win.

Zhou Bai had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but the life-saving grace was overwhelming. Even if he knew that Yu Xian had taken advantage, he had to hold his nose and admit it.

What's more, Changning County was originally the fiefdom of King Fu, so it made sense for the prince to overtake the government office and become the law enforcer.

"The list of dead and injured brothers will be tallied up, and I will write the report myself. In addition, no one can touch their family's pension. I will deliver it personally."

Zhou Bai thought for a moment, stood up with the help of his subordinates, and did not forget to explain.

The price paid for arresting Chen Xiao today was not small. Fortunately, Prince Fu's Mansion had already promised that all expenses and pensions would be borne by them.

Otherwise, the next time he wants to work hard for his brothers, without money, his charisma will be in vain.

…

Yunlai Inn.

When Chen Xiao woke up, the injuries on his body had been initially bandaged, but he still felt like tearing pain all over his body.

He wanted to exercise to heal his injuries, but found that his body was so weak that he couldn't get up any energy at all.

"It's useless. This is Ruanjin Powder specially developed by the Imperial Court's Punishment Department to control martial arts masters. If an innate warrior eats it, he will not be able to use it for three days and three nights."

A quiet voice came.

Chen Xiao turned around and looked, only to find that he was lying on the bed in the guest room. A scholar in a green shirt was sitting at the table in front of him, drinking tea slowly.

"It's you!"

Chen Xiao remembered that this bastard was the one who attacked him in the end, and even mocked his Five Poison Palms for nothing more than that.

"What kind of hero is a sneak attack from behind?"

Yu Xian was very surprised: "When did I say that I was a hero?"

While Chen Xiao had an incredulous expression on his face, Yu Xian took out two white crystal stones the size of quail eggs. They were sharp and angular. They were the common currency in the world of immortality - spirit stones.

White is a low-grade spiritual stone.

"Stop talking nonsense, where did you get this thing?"

Touching corpses is a good habit.

It was precisely because he touched the spirit stone from Chen Xiao that Yu Xian did not immediately escort him back to the palace for interrogation, but prepared to extract it first.

I think back when he was farming for the great monks in the world of immortality, he only earned three low-grade spiritual stones a year, and he was usually only willing to use spiritual sand that was a lower level than the spiritual stones.

But this also explains why Chen Xiao was able to break through to the middle stage of Xiantian in a world with thin spiritual energy like the mortal world.

With enough spiritual stones, the impact of thin spiritual energy will not be that great.

Yu Xian's heart ached when he thought of how many spiritual stones Chen Xiao had wasted in order to practice martial arts.

This is all his!

"It seems you also know Lingshi?"

Chen Xiao sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"But do you think I will tell you? Or if you try to beg me, maybe I can tell you when I am in a better mood."

Yu Xian was not annoyed or angry, but just sighed: "Actually, I don't like to use the old and the weak to threaten others, it makes me look very tasteless.

But if you don’t cooperate, there’s nothing I can do. "

"Bring people in."

The door opened, and two palace guards walked in escorting a girl.

"You guys go out."

Yu Xian pushed back the guard, pointed at the girl and said:

"With your martial arts, no one can stop you from leaving Changning City, but you didn't leave, was it for her?

The city gate has long been under guard, and you are still injured. It is really not easy to walk with a weak girl.

You are very smart and want to lure the officers and soldiers away by yourself, pretending to be an inn tenant in an attempt to get out.

It's a pity that you don't understand the thoughts of the upper class. They would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go by mistake. Speaking of which, you have to thank me for saving her life. "

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a plain white dress, with gentle eyebrows. She looked at Chen Xiao who was seriously injured on the bed, and tears fell silently.

Seeing the girl being arrested, Chen Xiao became emotional and yelled: "If you have the fucking ability to come at me, who are you to bully a girl?"

Yu Xian slowly walked up to the girl and gently raised her chin, revealing her beautiful face.

"You shouldn't anger me, because if I'm unhappy, she will be the only one who gets hurt."

Chen Xiao's eyes were about to burst, and even breathing became difficult.

"Let her go! I said so, let her go..."

Yu Xian smiled slightly and let go of the girl: "Happy cooperation."
