Chapter 1200

~8 min read 1,530 words

"Whether others are innocent, this official does not know. But the man surnamed Zhang is definitely guilty, and his crimes are heinous. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, there is some friendship between you and me, and we are both people in the officialdom; logically, we are on the same side. Why don't you help me out, and I will owe you a favor. In the future, whenever you need anything, just give me a call, and I will never refuse. How about it?"

"Not good. Don't talk so high-sounding; you just want to make a contribution." Chen Guanlou didn't indulge the other party and exposed his true thoughts.

Xiao Jincheng was exposed but felt no embarrassment, instead admitting it very frankly, "That's right, as a Brocade Uniform Guard, capturing people and making contributions is what we pursue. Especially for a heinous villain like Zhang Daohe. He is seriously injured; even if he is a Grandmaster, it is basically impossible for him to take action before his injuries improve. This is a good opportunity to capture him. If you are willing to help me..."

"No time!" Chen Guanlou refused directly, "I refused you last time, and you've come again this time. Master Xiao, look at you, you just lack confidence. You found Zhang Daohe before without relying on me. This time you must also believe in yourself; without me, you can definitely get what you want. The prerequisite is that the man surnamed Zhang is really still in the capital."

He fed the man surnamed Xiao some chicken soup, hoping the other party would stop bothering him.

There was already a Zhang Daohe at home, and he didn't want another Xiao Jincheng. If these two fought, his little broken house definitely wouldn't be saved.

Besides, he was still counting on Zhang Daohe to work hard and find the path to cultivation, so he could bask in the glory and go to the cultivation world to broaden his horizons. If possible, he would stay in the cultivation world to cultivate and live in a different place.

"He must still be in the capital. Since Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has no time, I won't force it. I wonder if Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can make things convenient; I plan to send people to patrol around the Marquis's Mansion recently. If there is any impact, I hope you will forgive me."

Chen Guanlou laughed, a mocking laugh.

"After all that, you just suspect me, stop quibbling."

He decisively pierced the window paper.

"However, why should I cooperate with you? You suspect me for no reason; I didn't turn against you on the spot, give you some bitterness to eat, and let you know what's good for you, which is already out of respect for a brother unit. If you push your luck, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

He slapped the teacup away with one palm, and the shattered white porcelain fragments flew straight toward Xiao Jincheng's face. In fact, the real target was the man surnamed Xiao's eyes.

Xiao Jincheng was shocked and, in his panic, used all the skills he had learned in his life, dodging his head and blocking with the back of his blade.

Ding!

A crisp sound.

Xiao Jincheng held his blade in one hand and covered his face with the other, retreating repeatedly. He didn't stop until he reached the door.

Chen Guanlou made a slight move, a small punishment to warn him, so that the man surnamed Xiao would know not to think that just because he could invite the two Grandmasters in the palace, he mistakenly thought he controlled everything.

If he wanted to kill the other party, it would be as easy as turning over his hand.

Xiao Jincheng's face was pitch black.

Lowering his head, his eyes were crazy and unwilling.

He couldn't believe that he had been forced into such a sorry state by a small piece of porcelain fragment, struggling and looking miserable.

He was one of the few people with excellent martial arts talent; although he couldn't be called a genius, he had top-tier aptitude.

At a young age, he was already at the peak of the eighth rank and could potentially break through to the ninth rank at any time.

He knew there was a gap between him and Chen Guanlou, but he didn't expect the gap to be so large; his Dao heart cracked for a moment. If he were given another hammer, he was afraid his Dao heart would shatter.

He took a deep breath, stood at the door, cupped his hands, and said, "Farewell!"

He turned and left decisively.

"He just left like that?"

Medical Official Mu stood outside the door, very surprised and unexpected.

Chen Guanlou walked out of the office and said casually: "If he doesn't leave, does he want to stay for dinner? My money didn't fall from the sky."

"This old man thought he would at least say something. A dignified Brocade Uniform Guard Commander just left like that, without leaving a word; it's damaging to his image."

"It's already embarrassing enough; continuing to talk nonsense will only be more embarrassing."

Chen Guanlou made no secret of his desire to kill someone. If Xiao Jincheng dared to nag again, he would definitely see blood today.

He had already been very restrained by just giving the other party a lesson.

He is a very good citizen!

"Let's go, go home and eat!"

Chen Guanlou swayed, carrying the food and wine home.

Zhang Daohe was still there, not gone.

He looked at the other party, "Oh, not bad, your complexion looks much better than this morning, at least like a living person. This morning, you were on the verge of death, looking like you only had one breath left. The pills from Jade Spring Palace are expensive, but the effect is really good. That old man Pure Yang didn't brag."

Pure Yang Zhenren is still reliable. Unlike the bald donkey, who has nothing and just wants to cheat money with his mouth.

Zhang Daohe finished his cultivation and exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for asking for the pill for me from Jade Spring Palace. Jade Spring Palace has a reputation abroad; their ordinary pills are very easy to buy and can be bought at pharmacies. Precious pills, especially the life-saving pills needed by warriors like us, are truly hard to find even with a thousand gold. Without some connections and some luck, you can't buy them even if you have money. Brother Chen being able to ask for a life-saving pill for me is truly my lucky star."

"No need to thank me. If you don't mention the lucky star thing again in the future, I won't argue with you."

Chen Guanlou really wanted to complain; a dignified cult leader should have his own faith. Yet he believed in what fortune-tellers said.

The so-called lucky star is a saying from hundreds of years ago; how can one take it seriously all the time?

Zhang Daohe smiled and agreed. But in his heart, he believed in the lucky star theory. If he hadn't decisively come to Brother Chen for help this time, he was afraid he would have already fallen into the hands of the Brocade Uniform Guard, living a life worse than death!

He knew that the cultivation method practiced by Eunuch Wei's good brother, Zhou Mobai, was very evil, more like an evil cultivator. If he fell into their hands, he suspected that the man surnamed Zhou would use him to perform rituals, sucking his blood and eating his flesh.

It wasn't that he was speculating wildly.

But, he had once bumped into Wei Wubing personally bringing a bowl of blood and staring at the other party to drink it in order to suppress the man surnamed Zhou's evil nature.

It was too evil.

Thank God, his life was not meant to end.

With Brother Chen here, he, Zhang Daohe, will definitely turn bad luck into good, encounter disasters and turn them into auspiciousness, and live to be three hundred years old.

Chen Guanlou didn't know that the other party had thought so much in such a short time, and asked: "Are you considered to have come back to life? Do you still need to take medicine?"

"No need. With the life-saving pill from Jade Spring Palace, it's enough."

"Then when will you be fully recovered?"

"It should take another two or three days. It can't be said to be fully recovered, but it's enough for me to leave the capital smoothly."

"Leaving in two days?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Daohe was caught between laughter and tears, "Brother Chen is so impatient to drive me away?"

"Nonsense! You are a burden! You have no self-awareness about your current situation and identity. A burden, understand?"

Zhang Daohe gave a bitter smile, "Brother Chen, at least give me some face."

"You are a stray dog, and a wanted criminal, what face do you want." Chen Guanlou was just that ruthless, not giving the other party any room at all. He wished he could drive the person away right now.
