Prajna chuckled and continued, "I heard that Shi Zairong is secretly trying to contact Bugui Peak, right?"
Prajna had gone to look after Jiang Ling some time ago, so the affairs of the Nanyue military camp had been handed over to Jialuo. Ou Yezi wasn't busy at the moment, and they had originally wanted to avoid interfering in the affairs between Nanyue and Liang. But now, for their own sake, and to live up to their cultivation, they had to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.
Although Prajna, Tanhua, and Jialuo are currently helpless against the living dead, it doesn't mean they are completely helpless in this matter. "That's right. Bugui Peak is also a century-old family, skilled in poison making and the art of Qimen Dunjia. If necessary, Bugui Peak and the Huangfu family may become the last place that the living dead can't invade."
...In Qinghe County, Liu Yong, after his identity was exposed, managed to intimidate Xiahou Qing and his men by using the traps Chun had set up around the hall. However, these were temporary bluffs and couldn't last long. Within days, Liu Yong was bound, blindfolded, and deafened by Xiahou Qing, and escorted away.
After capturing Liu Yong, to be on the safe side, Xiahou Qing did not arrange him together with Li Huangfu Zhong. Instead, he found another place, which was just an idle house that Xiahou Qing temporarily rented.
Here, the people from Tianshu Tower provided Liu Yong with delicious food and drinks every day, and also sent people to brainwash him to make him cooperate with Tianshu Tower, or to persuade the Zhou family to cooperate with them, although it didn't have any effect.
However, Liu Yong's hard life did not last long. One quiet night, a man in black quietly kidnapped him.
Xiahou Qing originally thought that the place he had arranged, while not as safe as the one he had given Huangfu Zhong, was still quite secluded. Furthermore, he had assigned a number of people to guard him, so he was completely safe. But just as he was leisurely sitting under a tree, sipping tea, listening to music, and reading, Xiahou Chun hurriedly interrupted his leisurely mood: "Pavilion Master, something bad has happened! Liu Yong is missing!"
The small leader who was in charge of guarding Liu Yong was brought in by Xiahou Jun. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me! The people who left Liu Yong are extraordinary in martial arts. We are no match for them!"
How could he not know what kind of people Xiahou Qing's subordinates were? They said they were no match for him, but it was obvious that they were not paying attention and thought that people who were placed in private houses should not be taken seriously. They must have gathered together to drink and gamble at night, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Qing was filled with rage. He slammed the book in his hand against Xiahou Chun and then gave the little leader a kick in the heart, sending him somersaulting several times on the ground. "...a bunch of trash!"
Xiahou Qing was displeased when he saw this man, and simply ordered: "Xiahou Chun, take this idiot who can't do anything good but always makes things worse, and lock him up in the dungeon!"
Xiahou Jun was slightly stunned and could only bow and say, "...Yes."
Upon hearing this, the small leader thought that he was also an old friend of Xiahou Qing. Although he had no merits, he had worked hard over the years. Therefore, Xiahou Qing would not kill him for the time being, but would only lock him up for two days. "Thank you, Pavilion Master, for not killing me. Thank you, Pavilion Master, for not killing me!"
"..." Xiahou Chun remained silent, merely standing behind the small leader, looking down at him. This idiot had retired too soon. He'd been with Xiahou Qing for so many years, yet he didn't know how ruthless he was. The dungeon had only held humans before, but now, it was filled with the living dead, who knew only the taste of human flesh.
After the leader was taken away, the person who played music for Xiahou Qing also wisely left. Xiahou Qing stood beside him and asked in a low voice: "Master, what should we do now? Should we send more people to investigate immediately?"
Xiahou Qing said, "That's not necessary. I originally wanted to use Liu Yong to temporarily contain the Zhou family. If he wants to run, then let him run. It's not a particularly serious matter. What I'm worried about is that other people will know our plan..."
Xiahou Chun thought for a moment and said, "Pavilion Master, are you saying that Liu Yong was deliberately rescued?"
Xiahou Qing sneered and said, "In Qinghe County right now, there is still someone with such ability. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else."
Xiahou Jun was suddenly a little flustered. Although Tianshu Tower now controlled the government of Liang State, they were still threatened by Wang Yanzhou, Qinghe, and Shuyang. Whether they could stay in Liang State for a long time was still a question. If Nanyue knew what they had done behind their backs, even if the Nanyue Emperor didn't say anything now, he would definitely not keep them later.
“Master, if he tells Nanyue about this, then our situation will be terrible!”
Xiahou Qing said that he now had the Life-Breaking Gu and an army of living dead. As long as he could control these living dead, who would live and who would die would be a matter of his words. "As long as I can collect enough puppet threads, South Vietnam will be nothing. The key is that right now, I absolutely cannot allow anyone to disrupt my plans. You, send someone to monitor Lin Feng's every move. If necessary, capture Lin Zhenzhen for me."
"I understand, Master. Don't worry."
Xiahou Qing took the Su family treasure hanging from his chest and murmured, "I only need this last step to truly become the most powerful person in the world. Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen, you've always been so good at talking about me. Now I'm going to let you watch me rise to the supreme position and send your son to you."
He wanted the woman who looked down on him the most to see that he was also a person who could accomplish great things and would not be someone else's shadow all his life, standing in the dark.
...Liu Yong, who had been rescued by Lin Feng, was now being housed in an unused firewood room in the government office. After rescuing him, Lin Feng simply explained that he had no ill intentions and hurried away.
When he came the second time, he had more time, so he told him the reason why he saved Liu Yong. After Liu Yong's guarded expression gradually disappeared, he said, "Master Lin, you saved me. If Xia Houqing knew about it, it might bring trouble to you."
Lin Feng said, "Since I dared to take action, I am not afraid of being implicated. Of course, I saved you for no other reason. After he took you away, my people couldn't find you. It wasn't until he brought you to that house that I found some clues. So I thought you should be able to help me."
