Chapter 200: A Benevolent Ruler in the World

Zhou Yi seemed oblivious to the noise all around, and his gaze shifted from Chao Gongcuo to Fu Nanda.

The Indian monk hugged his head with his hands to block out the halo of the divine oil.

He was motionless and breathless, as if he was dead.

But just as Zhou Yi walked towards him, Fu Nanda could no longer hide the truth and he suddenly opened his eyes.

The skinny and dark body was like a taut bowstring, flying towards Sishui like an arrow.

Still want to leave?

Zhou Yi broke through the wind and chased after him, following closely behind.

At this time, Li Mi's trusted subordinates in Pushan's camp on Hulao Pass shot down a large number of arrows, buying time for Fu Nanda to escape.

The Yanshi army takes action immediately!

Du Fuwei, Shan Xiongxin, Zhao Congwen and others shouted and gave orders.

The Eighteen Garrison Armies had already made their deployments, and a hail of arrows was fired towards Hulao Pass.

The masters of each army rushed to the front under cover, and the Yanshi army advanced collectively to attack Hulao Pass.

If the masters at Hulao Pass had not suffered any losses, they would still have a chance to hold the pass.

At present, the fighting generals have suffered consecutive defeats, two top masters have been killed, and the spiritual mentor is also being hunted down. The morale is extremely low.

If it weren't for Li Mi's many close confidants here, it would be difficult to find someone to help Fu Nanda.

While he was hesitating, the masters of the Yanshi army had already rushed over!

Hou Xibai, Du Fuwei and Shan Xiongxin followed the Shangmu Camp to the city gate.

There was no one at Hulao Pass who could fight them alone, so they had no choice but to use their numbers to defeat the few. However, this group of masters opened up the space, and more people climbed onto the city wall. The sounds of weapons clashing and screams continued to rang out.

Du Fuwei raised his voice and shouted at the other side to surrender.

But there are still people who take the lead and resist fiercely.

In a situation where everyone is killing each other, there is no room for holding back.

Du Fuwei and Shan Xiongxin led their men to attack the crowd, while Yang Qing, Song Mengqiu, Langfeng and others rushed into the city and opened the city gate.

The defenders of Chenggao City, south of Hulao Pass, came into direct contact with the Yanshi army.

The sound of fighting became louder and louder, and Zhou Yi could hear it even from far away.

He did not turn back and continued to chase and kill Fu Nanda.

This crazy monk is quite powerful. He will be a big trouble if he is kept alive. He must be killed.

"Master, please stop chasing me. I will return to India and never set foot in the Middle Earth again."

Fu Nanda had already heard the sound of flowing water in the Sishui River.

As he ran, he used the Day-Changing Technique to heal his injuries.

However, due to the mental trauma, he could no longer recover as he had before.

Everything can be "won" in spiritual yoga hypnosis, but the most frightening thing is to see the truth that you don't want to believe, but the truth is right in front of you.

Therefore, the secrets of the spiritual world and the Day-Changing Method both reveal their flaws when the truth penetrates self-hypnosis.

The unity of Brahman and Atman is no longer perfect, and at this moment it is no longer possible to achieve "I am Tathagata".

Fu Nanda felt a rare fear in his heart.

And it can't be suppressed at all.

Zhou Yi was delayed by the rain of arrows from Hulao Pass, but in a short time, the distance between the two was less than fifty feet.

There was no response from Zhou Yi, but the wind behind him was getting faster and faster, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down the forehead of the crazy Indian monk.

He used his spiritual secrets to make himself believe that he could defeat his opponent in lightness skills.

This method can be used to stimulate the circulation of the five energies starting from the vital points, making them circulate faster in the three meridians, thereby increasing running speed.

pity

Fu Nanda's method of self-hypnosis was ineffective on Zhou Yike.

He continued to use his spinning force and came within eight feet of the mad monk.

Five zhang, three zhang, two zhang.

Fu Nanda paused in a strange posture, turned around suddenly, and stretched out his hands like an eagle's beak to attack Zhou Yi's vital acupoints.

He repeated the same trick, but his speed was obviously slower than before.

Zhou Yi dodged the sneak attack and kicked through his snake-like arms to hit his chest. The crazy monk groaned and fell to the ground on the Tiger Prison Road.

This is the most convenient passage from Yanzhao to the Central Plains.

The Yellow River roared beside him, and Fu Nanda took a deep breath, inhaling the moist water vapor into his stomach.

The force Zhou Yi exerted was no different from before.

Fu Nanda couldn't hold it in and spit out a mouthful of blood, and his injuries were difficult to recover from.

"Why don't you use your secret method? Are there any restrictions?"

When the crazy monk heard Zhou Yi's voice, he didn't reply at first.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together and said, "Master, I admit defeat. As long as you don't kill me, I will obey any of your orders."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

“Why?!”

He was shocked and angry and said, "With my skills, am I not worthy of working for you?"

"Not really. I do admire your martial arts skills. But I don't want to deal with someone like you."

Fu Nanda frowned.

"Because you are so shameless and full of lies."

Fu Nanda did not deny it: "Tianshi, if you want to accomplish great things, why bother with trivial matters."

"Don't flatter yourself. What does my success have to do with you?"

Fu Nanda played the emotional card again: "I once gave you a copy of the Love Sutra. Doesn't that count as a token of affection?"

"Didn't you force me to exchange the Immortality Secret with you?"

Zhou Yi thought of the crazy monk's hypocritical coercion and couldn't help but sneer: "But the thing I gave you was picked up from the trash."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Nanda's spirit collapsed even more, and then he heard Zhou Yi say:

"I remember clearly that you still owe me money for tea at the Nanyang Teahouse."

"Is this worth worrying about?"

Zhou Yi raised his sword and said, "Debts, big or small, all must be settled."

Fu Nanda had heard some rumors and no longer mentioned the tea money.

He answered Zhou Yi's first question: "Master, my secret method of India is still effective. I am even sure that your next attack will not kill me."

"oh?"

The crazy monk's confident look made Zhou Yi curious.

"If the Heavenly Master doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."

Fu Nanda's eyes gleamed with a sharp light: "I will never fight back. If the Heavenly Master fails to kill me with this blow, please let me go. How about that?"

"Then try your skills."

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he slashed with his sword.

Fu Nanda sat cross-legged in a strange posture with his hands on the ground, dividing his true energy up and down, and hiding it in the heart chakra and sacral chakra among the seven chakras.

After one sword strike, the crazy monk's head moved and fell to the ground.

In an instant, his heart chakra and sacral chakra started to operate simultaneously under the influence of his mental fluctuations.

The upper one consumes and provides vitality.

The lower consumes and creates new life.

Guided by his spirit, he believed that he was immortal. With his hands supporting the ground, he sensed the location of his falling head along the ground's undulations. He actually picked up the head with both hands, groped for the eyes and nose, and tried to install it towards the neck.

Zhou Yi thought he saw the Great Immortal Huli.

He shouted at Fu Nanda's head: "Fu Nanda, you have already lost!"

This real shout was like forcibly waking up a person who was pretending to be asleep.

The mad monk's spiritual connection was broken directly.

His hands lost strength, his head fell to the ground, and the true energy in his heart chakra and reproductive chakra dissipated.

This time, he was dead completely.

Zhou Yi stared at his corpse and couldn't help muttering.

If he really had a head installed, he probably wouldn't survive, right?

When Kou Xu used the Sun-Changing Technique to rescue Ba Fenghan from Wu Zun's fatal blow, it was not as strange as Fu Nanda's.

Now that I think about it, it’s not surprising that Fu Nanda was able to sew up Qu Ao’s martial arts will.

Zhou Yi searched Fu Nanda's body but couldn't find any spiritual yoga techniques.

He stood up and walked towards Hulao.

After walking a few steps, he returned and stabbed Fu Nanda in the heart with a sword, then kicked his head into the Yellow River.

…

The battle at Hulao Pass was very fierce at the beginning. Led by Li Mi's confidants, the defenders of Guancheng and Chenggaocheng were integrated to launch a tenacious resistance against the Yanshi army.

Although they lack masters, they are the defending side.

Not only are they familiar with the terrain and the city defense equipment, they also know where the traps are buried.

Even though their morale was low during the initial resistance, they were able to put tremendous pressure on the Yanshi side.

However, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically after the leading figures loyal to Li Mi in the Pushan public camp were targeted and killed by Du Fuwei, Hou Xibai and others.

It was felt that the fighting spirit of the Chenggao army was declining.

Pei Renji finally played the role of the first defender of the city.

He climbed to the top of the city wall and shouted with his son Pei Xingyan: "Cease fighting, cease fighting!"

"Hulao Pass defenders, stop right there!"

Pei Renji guarded Hulao Pass for many years. Even though the commander of the pass was replaced by Li Mi, his prestige among the soldiers under him did not lose much.

Yanshi's response was faster.

Because there were enough generals leading the troops, after the leading generals such as Du Fuwei and Zhao Congwen gave the order, the other generals and captains quickly passed the order down, creating some space for the Chenggao army that was fighting in the chaos, and they raised their weapons to defend against each other and did not fight anymore.

Du Fuwei seized the opportunity and shouted, "Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed."

Pei Renji was standing high up and had already seen a white figure approaching from the direction of Sishui in the distance. He immediately raised his voice and shouted:

"Put down your weapons!"

Led by the city guards led by him, a series of "clang" sounds were heard on the top of the city.

"Pei Renji, you betrayed Lord Mi!"

Suddenly, a shrill curse came from below. Pei Xingyan moved quickly, wielding his two hammers to knock the man off the city wall and throw him towards the Chenggao army. He then shouted, "Still not obeying orders?!"

There were nearly 30,000 defenders from Chenggao City, and the generals in the front looked at each other.

This is a risky move. If you give it a try, even if you abandon the city, there is still a chance to break out.

Laying down your weapons means you are at the mercy of others.

An old general looked at Pei Renji, and out of trust in Old Pei, he took the risk of putting down the broadsword in his hand.

In a moment, a large number of spears and halberds were thrown to the ground.

If the Yanshi army charged at this time, the Hulao side would have had no choice but to surrender and then be massacred in the chaos.

Fortunately

The generals of Yanshi immediately ordered their men to put away their weapons. Except for people who kept escaping from the periphery, the city gradually became stable.

Du Fuwei was very experienced. He ordered his men to take over Hulao Pass, deal with the surrendered troops, and take control of Chenggao City.

While doing these tedious tasks, a smile appeared on Lao Du's old-fashioned face.

The three cities of Dongdu, Yanshi and Hulao have been captured.

Together with Nanyang and the area north of the Huai River, most of the Central Plains has been settled.

Du Fuwei, Shan Xiongxin and others were busy running around, and Zhou Yi had some free time, so he found the Pei father and son to question them.

The two men described in detail Li Mi's arrangements at Hulao Pass.

In the meeting hall of the commander-in-chief of Guancheng.

After listening for a while, Zhou Yi understood the situation of the father and son. Although they were the defenders of Hulao Pass, all the power was not in their hands.

Li Mi's confidants had been subjected to mental suggestion and not only did they disobey orders, but they also served as surveillance.

This style is very Li Mi.

He backstabs others, so he worries about being backstabbed.

"Who is in charge of Xingyang right now?"

"The person in charge is Li Mi, but he does not show up. Wang Bodang leads the army, and Wei Zheng manages the government."

"Is he in Xingyang?"

The Pei family father and son looked at each other and shook their heads.

Pei Renji glanced at the person in charge with awe and respect: "Tianshi, I haven't seen him for a long time. Before the birthday banquet at Rong Mansion, he showed up in Yanshi once, but after that, I only obeyed his orders and never saw him in person."

"He must be avoiding you."

Pei Xingyan, who was standing by, agreed with his father's words.

Thinking of the scenes of the great battle at Hulao Pass, it would be strange if Li Mi did not hide.

Zhou Yi knew what was going on and looked at the two of them: "What are your plans?"

Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan bowed together, and it was the elder Pei who spoke, speaking with a tone of deep fear and trepidation: "My father and I are defeated generals who surrendered. How can we talk about plans? Whatever the Heavenly Master commands, we will obey."

Before Zhou Yi could speak, they suddenly heard a female voice.

"Are you familiar with the commanders guarding Yingchuan?"

"Yes."

Pei Renji hurriedly said, "The guards over there used to be guards in the palace of Prince Yang Liang of Han, just like me."

As he spoke, he glanced at the girl who was speaking.

It was the first time I saw someone interrupting the Taoist priest while he was speaking, and I knew something was wrong.

Zhou Yi then asked, "Are you sure you can conquer Yingchuan?"

Pei Renji said, "I, Pei, am guilty and willing to help the Heavenly Master conquer Yingchuan. If I fail, I will bring my head to you."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and said with a hint of nostalgia: "I passed through Yingchuan when I was heading north. Apart from some bandit troubles, this place was relatively peaceful. After you take Yingchuan, don't disturb the people, and eradicate the bandit troubles."

"After all the arrangements are made, we'll talk to General Du."

"yes."

Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan left with a look of surprise in their eyes.

They walked far away from the meeting hall, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Dad, this..."

Pei Xingyan was surprised and said, "The Heavenly Master's actions are so different from Li Mi's. We surrendered just now, and he actually trusted us to seize Yingchuan."

Pei Renji sighed softly, "My son, this is why the Heavenly Master rose to prominence while Li Mi declined."

"Today we can see that the Heavenly Master is upright and righteous, his wisdom is clear and bright. Li Mi, on the other hand, is a shrewd and despicable person, attracting a swarm of ants to follow him. The difference between the two is as great as heaven and earth, and they cannot be compared."

"He no longer needs to talk about trust with us, because confidence makes people afraid to betray, isn't that the truth?"

Pei Xingyan nodded first, then pondered what he had just heard in the meeting hall:

"I observed that the Heavenly Master's killing methods at Hulao Pass were extremely terrifying, but his instructions to us were very different from his martial arts and killing methods. Martial arts are in line with the state of mind, and this is especially true for masters. Why are his actions inconsistent with this?"

“That’s totally wrong.”

Pei Renji stroked his long beard and said, "I've heard rumors from Jiangnan about his kindness. I didn't believe it at first, because he was often involved in the bloodshed in the Jianghu. Now that I've experienced it myself, I know the rumors are true. This is a good thing."

"In the early years of the Kaihuang era, I was by Emperor Wen's side. Until today, I have watched the decline of the Sui Dynasty step by step. To quell the chaos and recuperate, a benevolent ruler is needed."

Pei Xingyan echoed and discussed his old friends in Yingchuan with his father.

Then, he asked out of curiosity.

"Dad, do you recognize the person who just spoke?"

"I don't know."

Pei Renji also took it very seriously. He whispered, "She must be a future empress. After some time, ask around. Since we know our relationship with Yingchuan, she might be from a prominent family in Dongdu."

While the two Peis were talking, Zhou Yi and Xiao Fenghuang left the meeting hall and found Du Fuwei and Shan Xiongxin to learn about the situation in Guancheng.

Yang Qing, Song Mengqiu and others came to report.

They wanted to take a part of the surrendered troops back to Yanshi and Dongdu and completely dismantle the Chenggao army.

"Brother Zhou, what are your plans?"

Hou Xibai smiled and said, "Li Mi is really good at hiding. Are you going to Xingyang to find him?"

"certainly."

"Why do I feel that you can't find him?"

"You won't know until you go there."

Seeing Zhou Yi's expression of depression, Hou Xibai stopped joking and said seriously, "He must be hiding somewhere. If you don't have time, let the Ju Kun Gang's men obey my orders and I'll find him for you."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Zhou Yi didn't refuse.

Next, he stayed in Chenggao City, south of Hulao Pass, for three days.

While meditating and practicing, make sure Hulao Pass is secure.

On the fifth day, two old acquaintances also entered the city.

It was Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou from the Jukun Gang.

Bu Tianzhi came here on his own and brought important news from Jiangnan.

Chen Laomou was called over by Zhou Yi.

Now that he is no longer needed in Nanyang, he can offer advice and suggestions for pacifying the Central Plains.

At the same time, the two of them mobilized a large number of spies from the Jukun Gang to this place to find out the whereabouts of Li Mi.

They came from afar, so Zhou Yi prepared water and wine to entertain them for a whole day.

In the past, Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou didn’t think much of it.

At this moment, they felt emotional.

As the situation became clearer, Zhou Yi's status became more and more prominent. He was so nostalgic that Chen Laomou couldn't help but remind him to change his mindset and maintain his supreme dignity.

Zhou Yi didn't take it too seriously, thinking it wasn't surprising at all that Chen Laomou said this.

I guess he has already designed the style of the dragon throne.

The seventh day after the Battle of Hulao Pass.

Zhou Yi and Dugu Feng came to Xingyang. The entire county was under martial law. They were both skilled and courageous.

Since the news of the fall of Hulao Pass came out, not only Xingyang was on tight defense, but the Weijun army was also mobilized.

Once Xingyang falls, the next one will be Yu Wenzhi.

Although the two companies had conflicts before, they had no choice but to cooperate in order to protect themselves.

When night fell, Zhou Yi and Dugu Feng headed towards Li Mi's mansion.

What is unexpected is.

Xingyang City was heavily guarded, with patrol teams everywhere, but there were not many people deployed around Li's mansion.

Standing on the rooftop in the distance, looking towards Li Mi's mansion.

There was not a single guard standing high on the roof to keep watch.

Either there is a trap or the person is not there.

Zhou Yi was more inclined to the latter, but he did not give up and rushed towards Li's mansion.

He walked silently on the glazed tiles until he reached the depths of the inner house.

At the turn of the Xu and Hai years, I saw a large house in the inner courtyard with lights on. A shadow on the paper window swayed with the candlelight. He was walking around, as if reading a book.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up with foresight!

Little Phoenix was very surprised to see him like this. Could it be that Li Mi was in the mansion?

Empty city plan?

Zhou Yi saw that the shadow was very similar in stature to Li Mi. When he first met Li Mi, he was also holding a half-rolled book.

The shadow in the room walked towards the window and slowly solidified.

Suddenly, a voice came through the window:

"Now that my friend is here, why not show up and meet him?"

Zhou Yi frowned slightly. Discovered? With Li Mi's skill, he probably couldn't do it.

He savored the sound carefully, which was similar to Li Mi's.

Is it really him? Or...

We just killed the Nine-Headed Insect, is there another Nine-Spirited Saint coming?

He didn't respond. The shadow in the room stood by the window and walked away after a while. It seemed that he was trying to deceive people with lies.

Zhou Yi pulled Dugu Feng, and the two jumped into the courtyard together.

He moved to the door and pushed it open.

The door, unlatched, creaked open and the man inside turned around, visibly startled.

He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with an dignified demeanor, a slender face with ears with large earlobes, and intelligent yet slightly melancholy eyes, giving people the impression that he was a well-educated man who was not afraid of power and was compassionate to the world.

After seeing Zhou Yi and Dugu Feng, he quickly came over.

"Master Tian, ​​Miss Dugu, please come in."

Zhou Yi entered and glanced around. The man closed the door to block out the west wind.

"Please sit down."

Zhou Yi sat down on a pearwood chair, looked at the man intently, and asked, "Are you Wei Zheng?"

"Exactly."

Wei Zheng put the book down and looked carefully at the young man in front of him.

"Master, do you know why I am here?"

"Li Mi asked you to wait for me here."

"Does the Heavenly Master know the current relationship between Xingyang and Weijun?"

Zhou Yi asked in return, "Do you think that with the help of the Xiaoguo Army, you can stop me?"

Wei Zheng shook his head. "This isn't a long-term solution, but Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji are cornered. This is the only option."

"It was indeed he who asked me to wait for the Heavenly Master here, but even I don't know where he is right now."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Then you still want to work for him?"

"Master, you may not know that if I leave Xingyang, the surrounding counties will be in chaos."

Wei Zheng continued:

"Li Mi, with the help of Fu Nanda, has made a group of his trusted followers in the Pushan public camp lose sight of the situation. They command the largest number of troops. If anything were to happen in Xingyang, these people would follow my orders and turn their troops into bandits, causing great harm to the people."

After saying that, Zhou Yi's face turned cold.

"What else did he ask you to say?"

"Li Mi said that once the Heavenly Master recaptures the south, the layout of Xingyang will become meaningless, and his confidants will withdraw from this area and hand Xingyang over to the enemy."

Li Mixian was just stalling for time.

But what countermeasures could he use? Or was he going to take this opportunity to escape?

I can feel that Wei Zheng did not lie.

He doesn't seem like a liar either.

"Do you know who those confidants are?"

"Know."

Wei Zheng guessed what he was going to say and said directly:

"I followed Yuan Baozang into Wagang to follow Li Mi, but he didn't take me seriously. I was assigned the same position as Zu Junyan as a secretary. My power was weak, and I couldn't get rid of those people. This time, I stayed here just to vent the anger of the Heavenly Master."

He further advised:

"I've heard that the Heavenly Master is a benevolent and heroic ruler. Please kill him with one strike when he strikes, so as to avoid dragging things out and causing harm to the people."

Wei Zheng grew up in poverty and loneliness, but he had the ambition to serve his country and was sympathetic to those poor people.

At this time, facing Zhou Yi's increasingly stern face, he was not afraid.

"I came here to kill Li Mi. You are here to act as Li Mi. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wei Zheng raised his neck slightly and said, "Go ahead, Master, just listen to what I say."

He had heard how murderous the young man before him was.

The name alone is enough to scare many people in the world.

Just as I was thinking about something, suddenly a breeze blew by.

The door opened and closed again, but the candlelight inside the room remained motionless.

When Wei Zheng was stunned, a voice sounded in his ears:

"Govern Xingyang well, and my people will contact you."

Apart from the lingering sound, there was no one else in the house.

Wei Zheng's heart beat faster and he pushed the door open to see that it was quiet outside, as if no one had ever been there.

“Strange, strange.”

He muttered to himself, this was very different from what he had imagined. He stared at the darkness in the distance, and thought of the white-clothed figure in the room just now. Suddenly, surprise appeared in his eyes.

…

"I didn't expect that there was such a person under Li Mi. He is quite courageous and much stronger than Li Mi."

"Not only does he have backbone, he's also a rare talent."

Dugu Feng smiled and said, "Then your attitude is not surprising."

"However, this time I guess I'll return empty-handed."

She asked again, "Where to go now?"

Zhou Yi was unhappy and after pondering for a while, he still didn't want to give up.

Li Mi is good at pretending to be dead, or hiding in a box or cabinet to ambush people, or lying in wait. It is very difficult to find him suddenly.

Think of a possibility.

Zhou Yi said nothing and took Little Phoenix away.

The next day, they went to schools near some surrounding counties and asked some teachers by describing their appearance, or directly asked whether there was a person named "Liu Zhiyuan".

As expected, nothing was found.

Even some people pulling ox carts on the road received special attention from Zhou Yi.

The world is so big, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Five days later, Zhou Yi secretly went to Li Mi's mansion again, but finally gave up.

After returning to Chenggao City, he handed the matter over to Chen Laomou and Hou Xibai.

The news of Hulao Pass had reached the Eastern Capital long ago. Unlike many aristocratic families who were worried about it, the people of Luoyang were all delighted when they heard the news.

This means,

The East Capital is stable both inside and outside, and will not be affected by war in the short term.

The news of the battle at Hulao Pass, in which Gai Suwen, Chao Gongcuo, and the crazy monk from India were beheaded, spread like wildfire in the martial arts world.

Zhou Yi, who was at the center of the storm, entered Ziwei Palace again before going to Jiangnan.

Yang Tong, Dugu Feng, Lu Chu, Guo Wenyi, Zhao Congwen, Huangfu Wuyi and others were all there.

Their testimony is sufficient for the affairs of the palace.

From Emperor Huangtai to the Imperial Secretary, they were all Zhou Yi's men.

Dongdu easily drafted a "document to Jiangdu" with its official seal, which was to show Empress Xiao the attitude of the Dongdu court.

Although Zhou Yi felt that this thing was unnecessary, he accepted it anyway because everyone had good intentions.

Soon, on the side of Ganyang Palace.

Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi and others saw a surprising scene.

The Heavenly Master's arm was on the Emperor Huangtai's shoulder. They talked as they walked towards the Daye Hall, looking very familiar with each other.

The words "cousin-law" that Emperor Huang Taizhu called also fell into the ears of several people.

Seeing that they got along well with each other, Lu Chu and others felt relieved.

At the same time, he looked at Dugu Feng with some envy.

The old man immediately showed a smug smile on his wrinkled face, which made the others jealous and very unhappy.

What do you have to be proud of? You just rely on your daughter for a living.

Ever since Wang Shichong's niece Dong Shuni disappeared, this old bootlicker has become much more normal.

However, few people don’t know that Dugu Feng’s honesty is not just a matter of him losing his goddess by being a bootlicker, but also that no one in his family, old or young, can afford to offend him.

Head of the family?

He is just the steward Dugu who acts according to the instructions.

Of course, to outsiders, Dugu Peak is in its prime at this moment.

In front of the Ganyang Palace, Lu Chu suddenly said, "Actually, my little daughter is also pretty and charming."

Huangfu Wuyi shook his head.

Guo Wenyi patted his shoulder sincerely and said, "Sha Tiannan, the richest man in Luoyang, often says this."

…

Zhou Yi didn't stay in Ziwei Palace for long. After having dinner with Yang Tong, he returned to Dugu Mansion.

Compared to the first time I came here with Lu Chu, I no longer felt that unfamiliarity now.

From the old lady to the gatekeeper.

Everyone in the mansion was familiar with him and was very welcoming.

However, there is nothing uncomfortable about getting along with them.

I can only say that the people of the Dugu family know their limits.

He can be free whenever he wants, and no one will disturb him.

In the afternoon before leaving, he took the grandmother's pulse again. Now that all his meridians were open, he had a more precise control over the human body's meridians and could eliminate the subtle and difficult-to-detect roots of disease in the old woman's body.

Then talk to the old lady about "ancestral orifice".

At the beginning, You Chuhong was able to communicate with Zhou Yi, but gradually she became a listener.

She is also a martial arts fanatic, otherwise she would not have turned to the right path when her skills reached perfection.

Zhou Yi's martial arts philosophy shocked her.

As a result, after being immersed in it, she was not quite sure when Zhou Yi left the inner house.

"Are you planning to go directly to Jiangdu?"

"No, let's go back to Nanyang first."

"With a sword?"

"right."

Zhou Yi and Dugu Feng walked along the corridor and into the courtyard. "We won't be delayed in Jiangyin for long this time. Whether it succeeds or not will become clear after we meet."

Dugu Feng understood the situation in Jiangdu and didn't need to say much.

"Over in Lingnan."

Zhou Yi interrupted her and said, "Don't worry. Although Tian Dao's attack is powerful, I am no longer the same as before. Besides, I am not fighting with him."

As Zhou Yi walked, he combined the information brought by Bu Tianzhi and told her about his plans in the south.

If all goes well, it won't take long.

In the evening, the two had dinner together.

Zhou Yi persuaded her to go south with him, but Dugu Feng was a little hesitant.

At around 11 p.m., he simply said he would be sent off the next day, and then went back to the inner house.

Zhou Yi meditated as usual.

Considering that he had to travel quickly the next day, he turned off the lights and rested after more than an hour.

What he didn't expect was that not long after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a strange noise.

With his current hearing ability, even without deliberately using luck, it is far superior to that of ordinary people.

After a brief moment of identification, Zhou Yi smiled.

When the door was pushed open, he stood up and turned on the light again. He looked at the girl who pushed the door open and asked with a smile:

"Why, you want to go with me tomorrow?"

Dugu Feng shook his head: "No, you are not in Dongdu, I can help look after you here."

"Now." She said softly, glancing at him reluctantly, "I just want to say a few more words to you."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of the same thing when he left Jiangdu.

Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance. He sniffed a few more times, walked forward a few steps, and was about to lean against the little phoenix.

Then he received a 'very heavy' elbow strike on the waist.

Dugu Feng pushed him away, and Zhou Yi held her hand: "Xiao Feng, why has your smell changed?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's the fragrance. It wasn't like this before. Now it smells like flower petals."

She lowered her neck, a hint of shame creeping up her cheeks. When she raised her head, her bright eyes were still as clear as before: "No way."

Zhou Yi walked forward and picked her up.

Dugu Feng hugged him and shook his neck: "Put me down."

Zhou Yi really put her down, but just like in Jiangdu, they both lay on the bed.

Dugu Feng did not run away, but instead snuggled into his arms.

She was quiet for a few breaths, then said softly, "Master Zhou, I want to hear you speak."

"good."

Of course Zhou Yi agreed, not afraid that she would be bored if he listened too much, so he told her everything from the time they first met in Yongqiu, and he remembered every detail clearly.

The little phoenix sometimes laughed, and sometimes hit him.

In short, no matter what she heard, she was happy.

She swallowed her words, suddenly put her arms around him, kissed him on the face, then as if in response to his words, she hummed, and then leaned gently on his shoulder.

Zhou Yi looked at her sideways. Dugu Feng saw that he was smiling, and immediately raised her hand to extinguish all the candlelight.

"Xiaofeng, stop, I can't see anymore."

"I won't let you look. If you look again, I'll run away."

She wanted to say something else, but she was speechless.
