After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 260 Return to old business

  Hong Chenglue's eyes changed little by little, as if he had suddenly realized, and he was also depressed.

   "So it's you!" He said coldly, "Based on this alone, I should kill you!"

   As soon as he wanted to kill, the surrounding air dropped several degrees. Wu Qing took a step back to avoid his sharp edge, but didn't ask for mercy.

  Because he knew that Hong Chenglue kept his word.

   Sure enough, Hong Chenglue's murderous aura quickly subsided, and he continued to ask him: "Why did you find my brother and encourage him to die?"

Wu Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Hong has such a firm belief that he ranks among the top three people I have ever met. How can I encourage him? He firmly believes that the royal court of Yuan is corrupt and cannot be cured. It is the blessing of thousands of people. My master just lent him a little help."

   "His death has nothing to do with you?"

   "The rebel army was invincible. It was going well all the way, but Mr. Hong was suddenly defeated and died. My master was also deeply shocked."

   "Really?" Hong Cheng shook the letter paper in his hand, "Does the master of your family know why the **** my brother worshiped suddenly disappeared?"

   "This..." Wu Qing was startled, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

   "Mr. Hong...General Hong!" He took a step forward and said solemnly, "My master wants you to come out of the mountain again!"

   "No." Hong Chenglue seemed to have known about his request, "I have sworn in blood that I will never use magical powers again, and I will never lead an army to kill again!"

   Otherwise, what is the hardship he endured all these years, and his wife accompanied him to suffer so many years!

   "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, although you made such an oath to God, God did not bless the mother and child, so your oath may not be effective."

  Hong Chenglue remained silent.

   His wife had dystocia during childbirth, and he couldn't give birth for two days. He knew that the murder was too serious, and coupled with the tense situation, he couldn't help himself, so he simply hung his seal and left, vowing to make everyone happy. Unexpectedly, God did not want to take pity on him, so his son was still gone. Although his wife recovered a life, she was injured at the root, her Qi and blood were exhausted, her meridians were withered, and she gradually became paralyzed after a few years. He searched all over the famous doctors, and they all said that there was no cure for it.

  From this perspective, Wu Qing seems to be right.

   You beg it, it shouldn't. Do you still have a commitment?

   "What's more, if the object of your prayer is not God, but a god..." Maybe everything you want can come true?

  Hong Cheng said lightly: "Shut up, I don't get involved in ghosts and gods!"

Wu Qing bowed his head: "I have heard Lord Hong sigh more than once, if you are willing to work together with him, he will plan and you will use troops, there are few opponents in the world, and the power to change the country can be achieved." He pointed to the box on the table and said, "Master Hong also said that although you are good at martial arts, you can only spend money on these external things. If you want to continue living in seclusion, as long as you don't use it carelessly, the money should be enough for the rest of your life."

  Hong Cheng smiled wryly. In the end, the one who understands him best is indeed his brother.

   "But..." Wu Qing looked at the corpse on the ground, "This place is not suitable for you to live any longer." Killing an official is no small crime.

  Hong Chenglue nodded, he couldn't stay here for long.

"Villains know how to look at each other. With all due respect, Mr. Hong has a dark seal and is full of bad luck. He must have been very unlucky in the past few years after retiring?" Powerful protection, the killing karma created in the past and the secret curses of others may all be due to you." He pointed to the box, "Looking at your fortune like water, it seems like the river is going downhill, even if you get the money, you can't keep it." , it will dissipate after a while."

  How could Hong Chenglue not know?

  The last time he retired, he was not short of money. As a result, the house was either caught in a fire or flooded, and he had to move. After finally settling down in the new county, he bought property and land, but the bank where he kept his money was unreliable. Even though he was so famous and had so many semicolons, he would fall at his word. Go more than half.

   It stands to reason that the remaining real estate should be fine, right? No, he was in Lingzhou at that time, and of course the property he bought was also in Lingzhou, but later Lingzhou was captured by the northern demon kingdom, and the land deed in his hand became waste paper...

  After he came to Bailu Town, he started a business partnership with others, but he lost whatever he invested, and the more he lost, the more he lost even his underwear.

  It’s not that he has never thought about doing some dark and windy business with no capital, but the money he got will always be lost inexplicably...

  Who says capable people are capable everywhere? Who said that buying a house can preserve its value and make money? He really wanted to chop off the liar's head!

  The family has a lot of money, and they can't help but ruin it like this.

  He also knew that he was cursed secretly, so he was driven back and forth a few times, but he was hit again after driving, and he didn't bother to waste money later.

Then Wu Qing took out a jade bottle from his bosom and put it on the table: "This is the red jade pill that my master made with his own blood. Each pill is divided into three doses. Even ordinary people can relax the tendons. Get rid of blood stasis. Take it once every ten days, ten times in a row, and the old illness may go away."

   After taking this medicine for three months, the wife may be able to walk? Hong Cheng was slightly moved, only to realize that the other party kept the trump card for the last. Convincing people should be moved with emotion and reason, Wu Qing simply threw out two favors, knowing that it doesn't make sense in terms of "reason".

   "Okay, let's go with you." Hong Chenglue sighed for a long time without struggling, "We have to find a way to get out of town."

  Wu Qing smiled: "The carriage is ready, and it is parked outside the door. At this time, everyone is in danger, and no one will take care of us. The caravan will leave this afternoon and can take us out of Bailu Town."

  Hong Chenglue thought of the three teenagers who were beheaded for no reason. Although the Xinzhou official has just taken office and has a great reputation, he understands that it is impossible to change much from Haotian Township to Xiazhou, no matter who is in that position.

  Actually, the whole Kite Country is the same.

   Otherwise, why would brother Hong go through fire and water?

  No matter what, he picked up his bundle, picked up his wife, and boarded the carriage.

  Wu Qing locked the courtyard door for him.

   An old woman walked by not far away, her eyes full of curiosity: "Mr. Hong, where are you going?"

  Hong Chenglue smiled back, without saying a word, the curtain of the carriage was lowered to block the sight of others.

  This old woman always likes to go into his house for a walk, and grab something by hand.

   Soon, the car drove to the entrance of the alley. Hong Cheng looked back for the last time, and the messy alley became smaller and smaller in his vision. This is the home where he has lived in the streets and alleys of the city for six years. There is no comfort of "hiding in the city", only the pain that ordinary people cannot express, and the pain of being severely tortured by life.

  From now on, he wants to say goodbye to this waste.

  Wu Qing handed him a letter of appointment, a scale-shaped sign.

  The brand is very thick, and I don’t know whether it is a tortoise shell or a snake shell. There are very small sawtooth on the edge. Turn it over, there are only a few words, blood red and blood red:

   Beqa.

   General Qingwu.

  Bite out his index finger to stamp on the letter of appointment, and then grab the sign, a thick yellow light suddenly appeared on Hong Chenglue's body!

  Thanks to him being in the car, no one else saw him.

  Yuanli.

  He closed his eyes, silently feeling the long-lost Yuanli.

   At the moment when the yellow light came on, all the bad luck, curses and bad luck that had accumulated on him were swept away!

  Before Hong Chenglue opened his eyes, he felt relaxed physically and mentally, and his mind became clear.

   The troubles that had plagued him for many years were easily broken away.

  Wu Qing clapped his palms and smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Hong, Chen Hui has been eradicated, and you can show your talents again!"

  Hong Chenglue also sighed in his heart. The use of Yuanli is so wonderful, even if you are supernatural, or you are unparalleled in martial arts, you still have to go to the royal court to find an official position.

  Have experienced its benefits, how can you give it up easily?

  Wife grabbed his arm, very uneasy: "Are you going to go back to your old job?"

  Hong Chenglue looked at her and said seriously: "You have to get better, stand up!" If he doesn't go back, he won't be able to get the remaining Chiyu Pill.

   "But the hexagram of fate, said you, said you will eventually..."

"Died in a military disaster?" Hong Cheng smiled slightly, his eyes brightened again, "Ajin, I have had enough of my time as a hermit. You and I both know that the only thing I am good at is to take the enemy's head with a sword in my hand. .”

  When he said this, the aura of his whole body gradually appeared, as if a sleeping lion had just woken up and exposed its fangs.

  From this moment on, he seemed to be a different person.

   "Just think about it clearly." His wife, A Jin, didn't know how to persuade her, she let out a long sigh, and asked Wu Qing, "Where are we going?"

   "Thirty miles to the north of Bailu Town, there is Wujiazhuang." Wu Qing also respected her very much, "people from all walks of life will meet there, and many people are waiting to meet General Hong."

   Soon their carriage merged into a caravan and headed north.

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

   Another piece of good news came from the north:

   Zhao Pan led his army to recover Songlin Pass in Xiazhou.

  The Xunzhou army invaded Xiazhou, and had been trying to find ways to siege the city to gain a firm foothold. Zhao Pan's move destroyed one of their important strongholds and pushed the Xunzhou army back more than 20 miles north.

  Here, Xiazhou transported military supplies to the front line in a timely manner, which was also one of the important reasons for the victory. Frontline soldiers don't have to suffer from hunger, and their morale will naturally rise.

  In fact, according to the description of the grain transportation officer who returned to Dunyu, the camp was full of cheers as soon as the grain and grass arrived at the front line.

  This kind of good news, of course, the Xiazhou government shared it with the people of Dunyu as soon as possible.

  Victorious in two battles before and after, Dunyu's people are excited, the city is gradually becoming more stable, and all industries are back on track.

   This is of great benefit to He Lingchuan, because Ding Zuodong has rented out the shop that was sold a few days ago at a price that is 10% lower than the market price.

  He originally specialized in purchasing prosperous shops in good locations. After the market boom rose, of course he became popular. According to his report to He Lingchuan, the properties under Young Master He's name include:

  Nearly 100 mu of fertile land, 27 shops, one fishing ground, two self-operated restaurants, one pharmacy, one time-honored oil company, one store, and six large and small warehouses.

  Two months ago, He Lingchuan would have spent at least twice as much to buy these high-quality assets.

  Of course, these industries are all run by Ding Zuodong.
