That's why the record is so incoherent. "Yan" was written as "Yang", and even words that he didn't know were replaced with "o".
Fortunately, she still found a temporarily effective method. The book recorded "using a knife to cut the hand, blood loss is helpful", which means that cutting the hand with a knife and blood loss can relieve the pain brought by the red crystal!
Throughout the long night, Zhou Zhilu stayed by her side, never leaving her side.
As the sky gradually brightened, Ling Qingxue finally woke up and opened her eyes.
"Are you awake? Feeling better?"
Seeing the bloodshot in Zhou Zhilu's eyes, Ling Qingxue bit her lip, turned her head away, and said softly, "Thank you."
Zhou Zhilu grinned and said, "Why thank me? I was counting on you to guide me in my cultivation."
Then Zhou Zhilu told Ling Qingxue the clues and inferences he had obtained that night.
Ling Qingxue frowned and asked, "What should we do next?"
Zhou Zhilu pondered for a while, then raised his head and said firmly, "Let's go to the county government office!"
"County government office?" Ling Qingxue asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you weren't sure what Lou Yunxiao thought?"
Zhou Zhilu nodded and explained, "I really don't know what Lou Yunxiao's plan is, but he should want to get rid of Feng Yuan's escort agency... Besides, no matter what he has in mind, he can't get rid of his identity as the county magistrate of Yancheng County!
"Yesterday, you and I were both injured and poisoned. In that state, I didn't dare to bet on Lou Yunxiao. But now, in broad daylight, as long as we stand in the lobby of the county government office, in front of so many county constables, he can't do anything to us. Otherwise, he would be rebelling!"
Ling Qingxue said worriedly, "But, as long as we all die..."
"As long as we are all dead and there is no evidence to prove anything, he won't be considered a rebel, right?" Zhou Zhilu continued.
Ling Qingxue nodded.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu smiled and said, "So we need to separate. You stay here, and I'll go to the county government office."
Ling Qingxue's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "No! Your cultivation level is not high. If there is really a problem, you won't be able to escape."
Zhou Zhilu soothed him, "It's precisely because my cultivation is not high that I can't pose a threat. Only if you hide in the dark can you truly intimidate him!"
Seeing Ling Qingxue's hesitation, Zhou Zhilu smiled, patted Ling Qingxue on the shoulder and said, "Relax, Lou Yunxiao may not be planning to rebel at all. Don't worry too much."
After comforting Ling Qingxue, Zhou Zhilu went to the county government office alone.
Just when he passed by the county morgue, he learned an unexpected news.
Xiuhua's body is missing...
Zhou Zhilu frowned and thought, and couldn't help but think of the figure from last night.
He changed his route instantly and headed towards Xiliu Village.
Xiliu Village is right to the west of Yancheng County. Fortunately, it is close. Although there are people from Fengyuan Escort Agency guarding the road, Zhou Zhilu still managed to bypass it successfully.
When he arrived at Xiliu Village, he headed straight towards the wooden house on the mountain.
When he arrived at the cabin panting, looking at the scenery in front of him, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.
I saw that next to the wooden house, there was an earthen grave that had appeared at some point.
There was a wooden board standing in front of the grave, with two words engraved crookedly on it: Xiuhua.
