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

Chapter 85: Use this to test me?

The moment the two of them looked at each other, it was as if time had stood still. A layer of red clouds appeared on Mrs. Zhu's face, then she showed a look of shame and annoyance and said:

"Jiang Jiangche, what do you want to do?"

"It's not what I want to do, it's what Madam wants to do. That night you threatened me with Zhu County Lieutenant. Why don't you recognize me when you put on clothes?"

Jiang Che had an "innocent" look on his face, but his eyes were still looking at the other person.

I have to say, Mrs. Zhu is really smooth.

He once heard a comment about women.

The first-class women are fat, white and tall, the second-class women are numb and seductive, the third-class women are wild and arrogant, and the fourth-class women are shrewd and cunning.

And Mrs. Zhu is just a first-class woman.

Even though Jiang Che had a stoic character and unparalleled determination, it was still a bit hard to resist.

As a result, he finally fell into the tiger's mouth and was unable to extricate himself.

"You. You." Mrs. Zhu's face became even more embarrassed and she said quickly:
"I recognized the wrong person at that time, you... don't misunderstand me."

"Admit your mistake?"

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Che's lips:
"Madam is very playful."

In fact, he had almost guessed the whole story that night. After all, no matter what happened, Mrs. Zhu would never be so wanton with a thief who had sneaked in.

"You get out or I call someone immediately."

Mrs. Zhu only felt that her face was completely trampled under Jiang Che's feet. She was filled with shame and anger, and she immediately said in a deep voice.

"please."

Jiang Che spread one hand and signaled Madam Zhu to start her performance.

"You, you. What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Jiang Che could not be scared away, Mrs. Zhu felt helpless. After all, she did not dare to call anyone, otherwise her reputation of innocence would be lost, and her end would be even more miserable.

"After I went back that night, I thought about my wife day and night, and I couldn't help myself, so I took the risk to come here. Since you are so cruel, I won't force you, but I want the jade pendant you are wearing around your neck to stay. Would you mind thinking about it?"

Jiang Che said seriously.

Robbery is no longer appropriate now. Once Mrs. Zhu dies, the murder of Zhu Sheng may go wrong, and he cannot tell his purpose directly.

After all, no matter what, Mrs. Zhu is still someone else's wife.

My heart must still be toward Zhu Sheng, and it would be risky to disclose this matter to him, so I immediately made up a reason.

"This is a jade pendant passed down from my family. I will give it to Qing'er in the future. If you get married to her, you will be able to hold this in your hands." Mrs. Zhu felt panicked and quickly changed the subject.

Until now, she didn't know that Jiang Che and Zhu Sheng had actually fallen out. She thought Jiang Che was still a confidant and that Zhu Sheng wanted to betroth Qing'er to Jiang Che.

"Does Madam really think it's a good thing that I married Zhu Qingqing?"

Jiang Che showed a trace of amusement.

Then it would really be a mess
"I"

"Give me the things, and I will never bother Madam again in the future. Jiang always keeps his word." Jiang Che was not going to be nagging anymore, and his tone was even a little tough.

Looking at Jiang Che and the jade pendant in her hand, Mrs. Zhu fell into silence.

This family-hered Qingming jade is her most cherished thing and will never leave her body. However, Jiang Che's demands and threats are a huge problem.

What if the other party becomes angry?
"Madam, give me the jade pendant. I promise that no outsiders will know about this, otherwise." Jiang Che slowly approached, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice. .

"Can you really do it?"

Mrs. Zhu raised her head and stared at Jiang Che.

"can!"

Mrs. Zhu took off the jade pendant and held it in her hand, showing hesitation:
"What you said just now, are you sincere?"

???

Jiang Che had some questions in his mind, what words did he say?

But it was impossible for his city to show any abnormality. He nodded slightly and said:

"of course."

"This is the last time. You and I will never meet again. After all, I am a wife." Mrs. Zhu sighed softly, took off the jade pendant and hung it aside.

Then he stood up, and the water dropped down.

Jiang Che's eyes widened.

???

Use this to test cadres?

Don't you know that he, Jiang, is the least able to accept the test?
"Jade River Mouth"

Only Zhu Sheng and Kou Yuansheng were left in the cell, and under his threat, Kou Yuansheng had to reveal this secret in exchange for Qing'er's safety.

"I've told you about this, let Qing'er go, otherwise someone will tell the people in Crouching Tiger Mountain the news." Kou Yuansheng raised his head and responded.

Jiang Che was different from Zhu Sheng. In his opinion, Jiang Che's cultivation was low and he was still far away from Tongmai. Even if he knew where the innate spiritual energy was hidden, he could only see it but not take it away.

As a seventh-grade county captain, Zhu Sheng has a very high status. Even if he is placed in Tai'an Mansion, he can be regarded as the number one person. He can definitely recognize the strong people in the innate realm.

There is a chance to get the innate spiritual jade.

Furthermore, his cultivation level has reached such a level that it is even possible for him to forcefully attack the innate realm after obtaining the innate spiritual energy. He must exchange for Kou Qing's safety before doing so.

"Are you threatening me?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhu Sheng's eyes.

How dare you threaten a guy who is a prisoner and can die with just one palm?

"Do you think that after all these years, Kou has no backup plan? If you don't believe it, you can try it and see if the news about the innate spiritual energy will be leaked."

Kou Yuansheng said in a deep voice.

Zhu Sheng stared at the other person for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I will never break my promise to you. As long as this matter is confirmed, I will let your son go. But if you dare to lie to me, hahaha. The consequences are definitely something you don't want to see."

Kou Yuansheng snorted coldly and did not respond. He felt that Zhu Sheng and Jiang Che were the same kind of people. No, there were still some slight differences between them.

Zhu Sheng is more hypocritical, while Jiang Che is more ruthless.

"grown ups."

Outside the cell, Liu Zhi and Xu Saner saw Zhu Sheng coming out, without making any eye contact, they quickly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Sheng patted Liu Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"You did a good job this time, I will take note of it."

"This is the duty of my subordinates."

Liu Zhi quickly bent his waist further down.

"You're not bad, I will do my best to search for Jiang Che's whereabouts. During this period, I will work hard on you to help guard this person. I will reward you after I resolve the matter."

Of course, Zhu Sheng would not give up on Jiang Che just like that. He was still suspected of possessing a rare treasure. He wanted the innate aura and the rare treasure that could help people quickly improve their cultivation!
"Thank you. Thank you, sir."

"Hehehe"

In Yanggu County, there is a stronghold in Crouching Tiger Mountain.

Liang Liang and Wu Xiaolin were silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Jiang Che is missing.

Also missing was Yu Xiaofeng!
In fact, Zhu Sheng was not the only one who was tracing Jiang Che's traces. The people in Crouching Tiger Mountain were also paying close attention to this matter, because it also related to the second boss Yu Xiaofeng.

"I was careless." Wu Xiaolin raised his head, his eyes slightly red.

He thought that with his second brother Yu Xiaofeng's strength, it would be no big deal to hunt down Jiang Che's injured Tongmai, and he didn't take it to heart at all. But until late at night, before he came back, he already felt Something is not good when we arrive.

Now, it's almost certain. The second brother must have suffered something unexpected, and of course, Jiang Che was probably the same.

In just a few days, two of his brothers died, which was a huge blow to Wu Xiaolin. Back then, the three of them worshiped the mountain god, became brothers, changed their names, and lived and died together.

But now.
He was left alone.

And with the strength Zhu Sheng showed, he was not completely sure that he could kill the opponent in Yanggu County. At this moment, it was already a deadlock.

"I have a guess."

Suddenly, Liang Liang, who had been silent, raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"What guess?"

"I suspect that Zhu Sheng doesn't know the traces of Kou Yuansheng at all, nor does he know the whereabouts of the innate spiritual energy. The one who masters all this may be Jiang Che himself."

This is the result he deduced from a series of events in the past two days.

"What's the evidence?"

Liang Liang perked up.

"Jiang Che has been secretly hiding his strength before this, but I think he may have tested Jiang Che's depth just to prevent Zhu Sheng, the village leader, from taking action."

"This is just your inference."

"If you were Zhu Sheng, would you allow a subordinate in the Tongmai Realm to track down the innate spiritual energy? Aren't you afraid of taking it for yourself? And Kou Yuansheng was also secretly imprisoned by Jiang Che.

In fact, the fact that Zhu Sheng is so eager to find Jiang Che's whereabouts is enough to prove that Jiang Che is now the key. "

"You know, we can't afford to gamble."

There is absolutely no room for loss of innate aura.

At this time, all he could count on was his innate spiritual energy.

Liang Liang had no choice but to nod.

Yes, even if his guess is true, what's the use?
Kou Yuansheng is not the only one who is missing, but now even Jiang Che is also missing.

"Then what is the village master going to do?"

"Keep an eye on Zhu Sheng. As long as he knows where the innate spiritual energy is hidden, I don't believe he won't leave!" Wu Xiaolin raised his head and said in a deep voice. This is currently the safest way.

"That's all it can do."

On the other side, after interrogating Kou Yuansheng and getting the news that the innate spiritual energy was at the mouth of the Yuhe River, Zhu Sheng did not set off immediately, but pretended that nothing happened and returned home.

He was also wary of anyone following him.

Just like that Wu Xiaolin, if he fights alone, he will most likely not be an opponent, but if he brings a large number of people, it will be even more inappropriate.

His official rank is indeed not low, but he doesn't have anything that can gather his innate spiritual energy.

He had specifically inquired about breakthroughs. Innate spiritual energy was the biggest threshold, but this did not mean that with innate spiritual energy, one would be able to achieve a successful breakthrough.

A lot of auxiliary treasures are also needed to increase the chance of success.

Furthermore, there are so many warriors in the world who are trapped by their innate abilities, and there are many strong ones in Tai'an Mansion alone. Once the news leaks out, it will cause too many people to fight.

He is not afraid of ordinary people, but he is afraid of innate warriors trying to snatch it away.

In the arena, there are no rules about peer competition. If you want to compete fairly, you must have an equal force as your backer, otherwise you will not be qualified at all.

Innate warriors do not need innate spiritual energy, but they still have descendants and family members.

No one would mind having such a lot of things
Therefore, you must be careful with all of this.

"Where's Madame?"

Zhu Sheng stopped a maid and asked casually.

He knew that the Madam held the Qingming Spirit Jade in her hand, which had the effect of purifying the spirit. When he got the innate spiritual energy breakthrough, he would need the power of this object.

"Madam is washing in the room."

The maid bowed slightly.

Zhu Sheng nodded, without paying much attention, and walked quickly to the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a pile of water stains on the ground, which seemed to be splashed from a bucket.

For those who don’t know, I’m afraid they thought there was a big war just now.

Mrs. Zhu, on the other hand, was wearing a long cyan skirt and squatting on the ground to wipe away the water stains.

"Why did you accidentally spill the water?" Zhu Sheng asked with a smile.

Mrs. Zhu's expression was as usual, nothing strange could be seen at all, she shook her head and sighed:
"When I stood up just now, I accidentally knocked it and almost knocked over the bucket."

"Just let the servants do these things."

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Mrs. Zhu quickly stood up and helped Zhu Sheng pour a cup of hot tea, and Zhu Sheng noticed something strange about her:

"Madam, are you injured?"

"Well, I accidentally fell while sitting on the ground just now." Mrs. Zhu looked embarrassed, but in fact, it was Jiang Che who 'accidentally' hit her, and there are still red marks on it.

"Are you okay?"

Zhu Sheng looked concerned.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just rest for a few days."

Mrs. Zhu forced a smile.

Try your best not to reveal too many flaws.

Zhu Sheng did not doubt too much and directly stated his intention:

"Madam, where is your Qingming Jade? I may need to borrow it in a few days."

Mrs. Zhu's hand shook. She had already given the jade to Jiang Che, but if she didn't come back, her eyes turned:
"What do you want the master to do with that spiritual jade?"

"It's useful when practicing."

"I didn't put it on me. I'll look for it later."

Mrs. Zhu kept praying in her heart that this topic would be over soon, for fear that Zhu Sheng would ask further questions. At the same time, she also vaguely had the idea of seeing Jiang Che again and borrowing the spiritual jade.

In short, Zhu cannot be made suspicious.

"Okay, this doesn't matter."

After chatting for a few words, Zhu Sheng stood up:

"There are still some things in the yamen. I'll go and take care of it first. I haven't been living at home recently. Madam, you can rest at night and in the morning. You don't have to wait for me."

"I understand."

Mrs. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Opening the door, Zhu Sheng raised his eyes and saw a cluster of dark green not far away, and asked curiously:

"Madam, where did this thing come from in this cold weather?"

"It was given by the people below. They said it was just taken out of the greenhouse. I also thought that the courtyard is monotonous, so why not decorate it with some decorations."

"Withdraw it, I always feel it's a bit of an eyesore."

After giving a casual instruction, Zhu Sheng turned around and left.

Mrs. Zhu was left holding her chest and gasping for breath, leaning on the pillar with a little fear on her face.

It’s too thrilling!

If Zhu Sheng had come back half an hour earlier, he might have discovered it directly.

But somehow, after worrying, a strange emotion arose in her heart.
