After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 62: Surviving the crisis? (Third update, please follow up)
  "Innate aura? Is this news accurate?"

As expected by Jiang Che, when he brought the topic to the innate spiritual energy, Zhu Sheng's expression changed, and he was even more urgent than getting the exotic treasure.

Because what Jiang Che didn't know was that Zhu Sheng had reached the peak of Tongmai. Although his energy and blood were no longer in his prime, if he had the help of innate spiritual energy, he could still hope to reach this level.

The main reason why he covets Jiang Che's rare treasure is that he wants to go one step further, or to keep it for his son, but if he still has innate aura,
  That’s a double happiness!
  This Jiang Che is really his lucky general.

"It's not certain yet, but my subordinates will confirm this matter as soon as possible. By then, with the help of your innate spiritual energy, you will be able to accomplish great things." Jiang Che immediately complimented.

"I will give you half a month to investigate. If I can find the innate spiritual energy, I will grant you whatever you want." Zhu Sheng also made his promise.

Originally, he thought that if Jiang Che had the sense to hand over the exotic treasure, he would not treat him badly, and could even marry Zhu Qingqing to him as his wife and support him in his rise to power.

If Jiang Che insists on going his own way, he will only send him back to the west after he confirms the authenticity of the exotic treasure.

But now, he decided to postpone the time.

Compared with innate spiritual energy, a rare treasure whose details are not yet known seems less important.

"I will live up to your high expectations. I just hope that you can give me some rights. In this way, the speed of the investigation may be greatly accelerated." Jiang Che continued.

"can!"

After coming out of Zhu's Mansion, Jiang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhu Sheng really took action, he would have no more than a 20% chance of escaping. Fortunately, he had stabilized the opponent with the news of his innate spiritual energy.

It also gave him a chance.

Originally, I wanted to collect the sacrifices slowly, but now I see that we can't waste any more time. If Zhu Sheng reacts, his situation will be very dangerous.

Because he cannot leave Yanggu County, otherwise it will be really difficult to obtain the innate spiritual energy.

At the same time, he also made up his mind that he would never meet Zhu Sheng in private again before breaking through the channel, and would control his life by other people's thoughts.

After returning to Wuying, Jiang Che immediately summoned Geng Dabiao and others and asked them to quickly count the inventory obtained from Caobang.

He has no shortage of evil spirits, but now he only has red and green sand, snow lake flowers, and jade bone water that are unknown.

After a final inventory, Jiang Che found that among the many resources obtained from Caobang, these items were also in short supply. There were only three taels of red and green sand, no snow lake flowers at all, and only a dozen drops of jade bone water.

Because these things are inherently treasured.

Red green sand is a necessity for making a hundred-refined sword. It often only takes one tael to make a sword extremely sharp. The market price is even more ridiculous, because a hundred kilograms of red bluestone can only extract one tael of green sand at most.

Jade bone water is a treasure of cultivation for bone-forging warriors. It can cleanse the bones and muscles, so it is also cherished.

As for the Snow Lake Flower, it is even more amazing. It is a great tonic. Like the Corpse Blood Mushroom, it is a priceless existence. You can only hit one by trying your luck.

The inventory was insufficient, so Jiang Che quickly asked Xu Saner to put down everything at hand and purchase jade bone water and red and green sand. At the same time, he issued a reward and used all means to investigate Xuehuhua!

Yanggu County, Dongcheng.

Outside a secluded house, a man wearing a thick cotton coat with slightly disheveled hair looked around, pushed the door open, and at the same time pushed his hair back.

Zhao Mingcheng!
  If there were any county officials here, they would be surprised.

"Brother Zhao!"

Hearing the noise, the closed door opened and a bearded man wearing a Confucian crown walked out and cupped his hands towards Zhao Mingcheng. It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other.

"Mr. Liang."

Zhao Mingcheng returned the gift, nodded slightly, and was led into the room.

In the room, a man drinking strong alcohol raised his head when he saw Zhao Mingcheng coming, and held his hands in his hands with a smile on his face:

"County Magistrate Zhao, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Who is this?" Zhao Mingcheng's face looked a little unhappy. His connection with Crouching Tiger Mountain was very secret. He had only met Mr. Liang a few times in more than ten years.

He never allowed any outsiders to follow him, but now, the other party seemed to have broken the rules.

"Brother Zhao, please don't be angry. This is Huo Xiaoshan, the third master of Crouching Tiger Mountain. I came here this time because the matter is of great importance and I hope everyone will understand it." Mr. Liang explained quickly.

Zhao Mingcheng sat down slowly, showing no emotion or anger:
  "I don't know what happened, but it actually attracted the Third Master to come here in person. Could it be because of the Song leader?"

"Song Ji is just one of them, the most important thing is Kou Yuansheng." Although Song Ji can also be ranked high in Crouching Tiger Mountain and is a leader with real power, he still can't compare with Kou Yuansheng.

Because innate aura is too important.

"Kou gang leader?"

"The leader of the Kou gang has helped me a lot over the years. This is a kindness. The leader said that he must be rescued alive." It was impossible to reveal the truth to Zhao Mingcheng, so Mr. Liang had no choice but to make up a lie casually.

"Speaking of Kou Gang Leader, I wonder if Mr. Kou is also in Guishan's hands?"

Mr. Liang smiled and did not deny it.

"This matter is not easy. I am not dealing with Zhu Sheng, and both Kou Yuansheng and Song Ji were forcibly detained by Jiang Che in the military camp of Xicheng. My orders cannot control him."

Zhao Mingcheng immediately shook his head.

"Is there really no way?"

Mr. Liang was unwilling to do so.

"It's hard."

"What if we get rid of Zhu Sheng?" the taciturn Huo Xiaoshan said solemnly.

"Absolutely not." Zhao Mingcheng waved his hands quickly.

When the previous county captain was forced to leave, he made his superiors very unhappy and spent thousands of taels of silver to stabilize the situation. Killing Zhu Sheng directly would be tantamount to rebellion.

Once things get serious, he won't be able to keep his official position.

"Is this Jiang Che the mastermind behind the ambush of Song Ji and the destruction of the Cao Gang?"

"It's almost the same. He is Zhu Sheng's confidant. He handles all these things."

"If you can't kill Zhu Sheng, then kill this Jiang Che. Huo doesn't like you people who are in the officialdom. You always want to play conspiracies, but in my opinion, as long as the other party dies, everything will be fine."

Huo Xiaoshan said lightly.

"If only one commander dies, it doesn't mean that he can't be suppressed."

Zhao Mingcheng couldn't accept Zhu Sheng's death, but Jiang Che's official position was not high, so he could.

"Okay, let's do that, but before taking action, you first confirm whether Kou Yuansheng is still alive and where he is being held in the military camp." Huo Xiaoshan made the final decision.

Zhao Mingcheng frowned and nodded. In the collusion with Crouching Tiger Mountain, he would not have the upper hand, because the other party was not afraid of being exposed at all, but he was very afraid.

"can."

"Then Huo will wait for the good news from the county magistrate. Once it is done, Crouching Tiger Mountain will be grateful." Huo Xiaoshan stretched out two fingers towards Zhao Mingcheng.

"Hehehe"
