Chapter 184
The news brought back by Yun Ao shocked Liu Xiaolou. He chased after him to ask for details, but Yun Ao was in a hurry to go home and ran too fast, so he couldn't catch up.
But soon, he confirmed this news through other channels. Xiong Xi of Huang Feng Gou also followed Yun Ao up the mountain. He didn't rush home to report after completing the task, but stayed for a while and told Liu Xiaolou the situation he understood.
Shisanlang did go to Zhuoshui. It was unknown when he went. Xiong Xi heard that after he went, he joined the Xiangxi side in the name of a rogue cultivator, soon went to the battlefield, participated in a medium-scale war, but was immediately ambushed by Badong cultivators with several rogue cultivators and was captured.
When the Zhanglong Sect reviewed the losses afterwards, they heard a rogue cultivator say his name was Su Jing, and someone remembered that there was a disciple in the Su family of Mount Shenwu who seemed to have the same name, so they specifically sent someone to send a letter and confirm the matter. Now the person who came was on Mount Shenwu.
According to the person who came from the Zhanglong Sect, Su Jing was very brave and had good results, and had already killed a Badong rogue cultivator, but he was outnumbered during the ambush and was captured.
Xiong Xi, who hadn't entered the array for a long time, also watched with a happy and impatient mood. After he left in a hurry, Su Jiuniang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, pushed the door and entered. Seeing Liu Xiaolou sitting withered in the corridor, she asked, "What are you dazed about? Heard about Shisan's matter?"
Liu Xiaolou nodded and sighed.
Su Jiuniang said, "One day last month, he suddenly ran to the Yunhai Pavilion to ask me, saying if a husband and wife cannot consummate the marriage, is there any spirit pill or wonderful medicine? I asked him what he was asking for, and he explained, saying it was you..."
Liu Xiaolou was speechless, covering his face with both palms, "I said it was a rumor! A rumor! Can't you explain it to him?"
Su Jiuniang hummed, "Who knows if it's a rumor?"
Liu Xiaolou said angrily, "Is it not enough to prove it last time? Then what do you want me to prove? Is it necessary to..."
Su Jiuniang's eyes widened, "You dare!"
He couldn't beat her, and Liu Xiaolou didn't have the courage to prove it, so he could only sit down dejectedly, "Jiuniang, you are really... Then what? Did you tell him where to find such spirit pills?"
Su Jiuniang's face was naturally very bad, suppressing her anger, "I am an unmarried woman, how would I know where there are such spirit pills and wonderful medicines! I just told him that if he really wants to seek pills for you, he can look for the Qingyu Sect, they are good at refining pills!"
"Then how did he appear in Zhuoshui?"
"He... also asked me, saying if there is a way for evil ways, and asked me where there are more evil ways. I just said a few words to him..."
"What did you say?"
"I said, your Wulong Mountain is an evil way, and Gengsang Cave is also an evil way. They tinker with snakes and insects all day long..."
Liu Xiaolou nodded helplessly, and after a long time asked, "How is the family discussing it?"
Su Jiuniang said, "Father is not here, and Second Uncle is in charge of the family. Shisanlang is highly valued by him, but his life and death are uncertain. Now it's a mess."
Liu Xiaolou said, "Mess is a mess, there must be a plan, right?"
Su Jiuniang said, "Second Uncle wants to come forward to Gengsang Cave to ask for someone, but is afraid that after Gengsang Cave knows, they will not release the person, or use this handle to hold the Su family, drag the Su family into the water, or kill the person directly and push it off saying they don't know. You know, Gengsang Cave has already killed red eyes... In short, it is now difficult for both ends, and I don't know what to do."
Liu Xiaolou asked again, "What about my father-in-law?"
Su Jiuniang said, "Father came back from the Cave Heaven a few days ago and soon went to Mount Weiyu, and went with Shisan's master. I don't know what they went to do, they are not on the mountain. It's too late to chase now."
"What about Wuniang? Still in the Cave Heaven?"
"Second Uncle won't let me find her."
"This is not a matter of face. Shisan and Wuniang are the closest!"
"Shisan is Second Uncle's son! Besides, even if you tell Fifth Sister, what can she do?"
After a long silence, Su Jiuniang said, "The Zhanglong Sect suggested that our Su family send people to go to Zhuoshui with them to see if there is any way to save people secretly. This is to take the opportunity to drag the Su family in. Second Uncle is worried that once we send people, they might make a big fanfare and shout to the world, instead letting Gengsang Cave know."
Liu Xiaolou nodded, "He is right. Who is the person who came from the Zhanglong Sect? Is he still on the mountain?"
Su Jiuniang said, "Inner disciple Zang Qianli. Still waiting for the family's reply."
Liu Xiaolou frowned, "I know this person... shouldn't have confirmed Shisanlang to him... no matter what, he cannot be allowed to go back now. As long as he returns to Zhuoshui, no matter what the Su family does, the Zhanglong Sect will make a big fanfare."
Su Jiuniang said, "The same as Steward Song thinks. He also thinks so. Your Wulong Mountain belongs to the Zhanglong Sect's territory. How much do you know about Zang Qianli? Is there any idea that can let us keep him for a few more days?"
Liu Xiaolou asked back, "Didn't you go to Mount Eyang to help?"
Su Jiuniang rolled her eyes at him, "I was just curious when passing by, experiencing harvesting spirit rice, and didn't deal with the Zang family!"
Liu Xiaolou pondered, "In such a great war, the Zang family is in Zhuoshui according to the rules, and there is no opportunity... By the way, he has a concubine, surnamed Xia, named Ling'er, and he likes this concubine very much. We can start from this concubine. The Xia family is in Wuchao Town... hmm, a small family, relatively greedy for money."
Su Jiuniang pondered, "Wuchao Town, back and forth over a thousand miles..."
Liu Xiaolou said, "Whoever runs fast goes. Second Uncle goes in person, back and forth is only three days!"
Su Jiuniang nodded, "I know." Finally, she warned, "Don't say anything about Shisanlang seeking pills for you. Second Uncle is in a rage, maybe he will vent his anger on you..."
Liu Xiaolou shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
After Su Jiuniang left, Liu Xiaolou packed his things, patted Dabai floating in the pool, and looked at Xiaohei squatting on the eaves, "Stay well, don't run around."
After warning, he left the Qingyu Fuyong Garden and went straight down the mountain.
At the mountain pass, he saw the General Temple from afar, stopped and hesitated for a while, but finally didn't go over. He didn't know what to say after going, so he continued to go out and gradually accelerated his pace.
Identifying the direction and burying his head in the journey, suddenly someone shouted behind him, "Xiaolou—Brother—"
Turning to look, Hutou Jiao rushed over from behind with all his might. When he arrived, he asked, "Brother is in a hurry, this is..."
Liu Xiaolou said, "I plan to go back to Xiangxi."
Hutou Jiao asked, "Is it for Shisanlang's matter?"
Liu Xiaolou nodded, "What is Brother doing on Mount Shenwu?"
Hutou Jiao sighed, "It's just for Shisanlang. I was about to enter the mountain when I saw you... You say he is fine, it's really... those who hear it shed tears."
Liu Xiaolou urged, "What is the matter with Brother Hutou? Say it quickly!"
Hutou Jiao was a bit excited, "Looking at Brother's meaning, this is to go to Zhuoshui to save people? Is the Su family preparing to participate in the Zhuoshui war?"
Liu Xiaolou said helplessly, "If the Su family participates in the war, would they only send me alone?"
Hutou Jiao asked again, "Then what does the Su family mean? Just watch? Could it be that they let Brother go alone?"
Liu Xiaolou was too lazy to argue with him, turned around and left, "I don't know what the Su family means. In short, I want to go and see."
Hutou Jiao chased after Liu Xiaolou and walked side by side, "Go together!"
Liu Xiaolou looked sideways, "It's dangerous there, what are you doing?"
Hutou Jiao was suddenly angry, "What kind of words are these? You and I are brothers of life and death. Can I watch you go to die alone? My cultivation level is higher than yours!"
"Are you really going?"
"Otherwise?"
"Can your family agree?"
"My family can't control me! At most, they will lock me up for another half a year when I come back. Who cares?"
There was indeed a need for help right now. Liu Xiaolou didn't say anything more, hammered his chest, "You are a man!"
Hutou Jiao chuckled, and looked around, "After saving the person, Brother must praise my performance in front of Niang."
Liu Xiaolou said, "I will arrange a meal for you."
Hutou Jiao said, "The one promised last time hasn't been arranged yet..."
Liu Xiaolou said, "Then two meals!"
