After searching for a long time, they heard someone howling like a ghost running towards them from a distance. At first, they thought it was a zombie that was accidentally released, but when they got closer, they found that it was Huangfu Xiong.
Shi Zairong hurriedly asked, "What about Huangfu Zhong? Isn't he with him?"
Xiao Liang replied, "He was the only one who came back. When our people found him, he seemed to have been stimulated and was talking nonsense all the time. From what he said, it seems that Huangfu Zhong was taken away by the people in Tianshu Tower."
Shi Zairong held his forehead and thought for a while before asking, "When will they arrive?"
This was exactly what Xiao Liang was about to report: "Looks like tomorrow morning, they'll send back a message saying Huangfu Xiong fell asleep after making a fuss for a while, and the veins in his feet are bulging. He must have run all the way without a rest."
Shi Zairong ordered: "The people sent to look for Huangfu Zhong, don't rush to withdraw yet, wait and see the situation tomorrow."
"yes."
Shi Zairong saw that Xiao Liang had put an end to this topic for the time being, but did not seem to have any intention of leaving. He tapped his forehead lightly and said, "Is there anything else you want to report?"
Xiao Liang whispered, "I still have a question. If Tianshu Tower is really capable of plotting something bad, then..."
Shi Zairong said, "Whether they are plotting something illegal or not is hard to say; if there is solid evidence, we must naturally follow the rules."
Xiao Liang said that they were relieved by Shi Zairong's words. Tianshu Tower had been doing some shady things behind the scenes. If they really returned to Nanyue, he and Xie Zhuangshui were still worried that these people would use the same tricks they had used to disrupt the Liang court to do to them.
"I'm just worried that if Tianshu Tower really uses the queen insect to do something harmful to the world, it will be difficult to deal with it then."
Shi Zairong had considered the potential consequences of a failed Gu worm experiment, but he hadn't anticipated Huangfu Zhong's willingness to modify the worms to his own liking. If Tianshu Tower truly used the queen worms to build an army of the living dead, they would be forced to ask the Huangfu family for help.
"Don't worry about this problem. I have my own way to deal with it. If you have nothing else to do, you can go ahead and do your work."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
The next morning, the people who brought Huangfu Xiong back were almost an hour later than originally planned. When Shi Zairong saw him, Huangfu Xiong looked like any homeless person out there. He was filthy, his eyes were dull, and he was mumbling something. He would occasionally burst into shouting, not stopping until his voice was hoarse. He looked like a madman.
Shi Zairong covered his nose with his folding fan and frowned as he asked, "How, how did he become like this in just a few days?"
The men said they had noticed the man had gone mad and were worried he might do something bad to Shi Zairong. So before bringing him here, they had a military doctor examine him. "The doctor said he must have been stimulated by something and that medication wasn't working and was only treating the symptoms."
Shi Zairong looked at Huangfu Xiong and couldn't get anything out of him. He asked in frustration, "Where's Huangfu Zhong? Still no news about him?"
When Huangfu Xiong heard Huangfu Zhong's name, he was just whispering to himself while holding a pile of gold, silver and jewelry. In the blink of an eye, he started yelling: "Huangfu Zhong, brother, brother, you lied to me! Why, why did you lie to me? I dropped everything and ran away with you, how could you do this!"
After Shi Zairong was hit on the head by the flying jewels from his hand, Shi Zairong pointed a finger at Huangfu Xiong. Huangfu Xiong fell into his arms. Xiao Liang quickly pulled him off Shi Zairong and signaled his men to take him away first: "Take good care of him and don't let him do anything stupid."
Xiao Liang understood what was happening. Huangfu Zhong was a traitor who had escaped from the Huangfu family. He must have been colluding with the Tianshu Tower to stir up trouble. As for Huangfu Xiong, he looked very cowardly and stupid. It was obvious that he had been tricked. Huangfu Zhong saw that he was useless and kicked him away. Huangfu Xiong had nowhere else to go and suddenly realized that he had been tricked, so he ran back and wanted them to help him get revenge.
I have to say that Xiao Liang's ability to organize stories is still very strong, although many details and general directions are made up by his own imagination.
Xiao Liang stood beside Shi Zairong and whispered, "Grandmaster, if the Queen Insect is really under Xiahou Qing's command, and if he has any evil intentions, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Shi Zairong closed his folding fan and said, "From what Huangfu Xiong said, it seems Huangfu Zhong's original intention was to protect him. Judging from this, Huangfu Zhong must have a trick up his sleeve with Xiahou Qing. Of course, these are just our speculations. The key now is to have people pay close attention to Xiahou Qing's movements. Also, send someone to inform Lin Feng and the others to be extremely cautious in everything they do."
Just as he finished speaking, another soldier came running over in a hurry: "Grandmaster, there's a woman in red outside the town gate, shouting that she's your friend. General Xie has already gone there."
Shi Zairong was now extremely upset. He didn't want to see any man or woman who had no direct connection to this matter or could be of use. "It doesn't matter who it is. I'm busy now."
"yes."
Shi Zairong was just about to go see how Lianguang was handling things, but after taking two steps, he ran back and grabbed the soldier who had just come to report from behind: "Wait, who did you say was at the door?"
The soldier quickly replied, "A woman in red said it was her, she said she was the Grand Tutor's friend."
"It can't be her, this is really going to be a headache!"
However, just as Shi Zairong was about to go out to confirm whether the person he thought of had come, the news from South Vietnam stopped him in his tracks.
"Grandmaster, there's an urgent message from Nanyue, eight hundred miles away."
"Show it up."
...When Xie Zhuangshui heard that a woman was looking for Shi Zairong, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair. Other things might be fine, but their Grand Tutor was already engaged. If Huangfu Huijue knew about this, wouldn't it be a huge uproar?
When he rushed over to persuade this poor woman who was infatuated with their Grand Tutor's beauty and talent to leave, before he reached the town entrance, he saw the woman in red waving a long whip and knocking all the guards at the town entrance to the ground.
