Just like strength, demon power will slowly recover with eating and resting. Zhang Xuezhou flew back to Chengdu from high altitude in broad daylight.
When he fully recovered his demon power at night, he shuttled through the night sky.
The darkness brings cover and makes Zhang Xuezhou bolder when flying.
After passing through the darkness, Zhang Xuezhou also saw Fuping County with only a little residual light left in the night.
While the demonic power of his wings was restrained, he quickly jumped down and rushed into the familiar street.
After walking no more than a hundred meters along the street, Zhang Xuezhou had already found the guesthouse where everyone was staying.
At this time, the door of the guest house was not closed. Zhang Xuezhou lifted up the heavy curtain and got in. He saw Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Cigong and others warming themselves over the fire at a small table and eating.
"Are you back yet?"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou entering the guest house, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although they are colleagues, Zhang Xuezhou's purpose is completely different from Dong Zhongshu's.
Zhang Xuezhou did not take any responsibility for helping to treat Zhao Liang.
Hearing Zhao Liang mention that Zhang Xuezhou came to him after he woke up, but Dong Zhongshu didn't see Zhang Xuezhou for a day, which made Dong Zhongshu very sure that Zhang Xuezhou ran away after he woke up.
But Dong Zhongshu didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou would come back after running away.
"Look what you said, our young master's injuries have not healed, and there is no way I can run away!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded and then sat beside everyone.
"Seeing that your mouth is full of oil, you must have eaten a lot of pork today," Dong Zhongshu said.
"You have really poisonous eyes. You could even guess what I ate. How's the relationship going? Have you contacted General Li?"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't wait for Dong Zhongshu to continue asking questions, and took the initiative to ask a few questions, which made Dong Zhongshu look sad and Zhao Liang's head lowered.
"Those big-headed soldiers are ruthless in their attempts to plunder money," Zhang Cigong said helplessly: "The money was spent and the matter was not accomplished!"
"It's just that we don't have enough money!"
Dong Zhongshu waved his hand.
As long as the money is spent violently enough, it is not difficult to buy connections to meet Li Guang from a distance.
The real problem is that they traveled thousands of miles from Shu County to Fuping County. On the way, they encountered the Beast Control Sect and lost most of their money, which resulted in a lack of money in the future.
At present, it is difficult for them to afford squandering money to seek relationships. If they use money to a greater extent, let alone retaining the money for Zhao Liang and others to return to Shu County, they may not have enough money to stay in Fuping County.
"We don't have enough money," Zhang Xuezhou said in surprise.
"If I had known, I would have brought dozens and a half more coins," Zhao Liang said angrily.
"It's useless to bring more with you. If we encounter that short-sighted guy in Su Fang, no matter how much we bring, we won't be able to lose him." Dong Zhongshu waved his hand.
"Ha... Master Dong, what do you think I mean by this?"
"I remember how much money you still have?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
"My survival depends on buying medicine with this little money. How much does it cost?"
Zhang Xuezhou muttered, but he responded smoothly.
"Don't forget the life-saving feeling. As long as I can return to Shujun City, I promise that the money I borrowed today will be returned tenfold in the future," Zhao Liang promised.
"Then you need to borrow more!"
The risk of lending is high, but the rewards of lending are huge.
Zhang Xuezhou finally made a high-risk investment and lent out the four sums of money stored in the bag.
"Young master, you must get better," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I have been sincerely kowtowing to all my ancestors for peace. I hope this trip can end smoothly," Zhao Liang said in a low voice.
"This trip will go smoothly. I spent money to find a subordinate supervisor today. If he hadn't asked for too much, we really couldn't talk about it. At least this matter will be frowned upon today," Dong Zhongshu said.
"That subordinate superintendent is too cruel in collecting money. How can someone like this always ask for money? He can buy several pigs just by asking for it." Zhang Cigong said angrily: "It's a shame that I thought we were in the north before." The best, the Feiyu Army is the best army in the world!"
"It is true that the heart is evil and the hands are ruthless." Dong Zhongshu nodded and said: "This is why the king of hell is easy to hide from the devil and difficult to deal with. There is no way!"
"Then are our four dollars enough?" Zhang Bayang asked worriedly.
"If you have enough money, you should still have enough. No matter what, as long as you can..."
When Dong Zhongshu made sure to boost everyone's confidence, he heard the sound of footsteps, and a military general wearing a big crown and armor came in at the door.
"It's them. These people are trying to bribe the prefect to get close to the governor. I'm afraid it's a trick from the evil country to come and assassinate him!"
When the general glanced at everyone, an old man with a scribe's appearance behind him shouted, and shrank behind the general when he came in.
When the two of them entered the guest house, a row of sergeants with knives, swords and bows also followed in.
"We are good people!"
Seeing the heavy sword in the hands of the general, Dong Zhongshu's scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
Most of the swords used by combatants in the arena are light swords, which allows the sword skills to be fully displayed.
But in the military camp, those who are good at heavy swords, heavy knives and heavy bows are the better choice. Such warriors will never be sophisticated in their skills, but they can kill enemies with great force on the battlefield, and even sweep across the battlefield.
If the other party takes action forcefully, Dong Zhongshu has no doubt that several of them will die in one encounter.
"I just came in to warm up by the fire. Let's talk slowly about anything you have to do." Zhang Xuezhou stood up awkwardly and said, "Look, I didn't even bring my chopsticks, and there's no bowl for me on the table. I'm not the same as them!"
"If you are not in a group, get out of here!" the scribe behind the general yelled, "Uncle Feiyu is here to arrest the assassin. This place is dangerous!"
"Everyone, we just want to see Governor Li Guang," Dong Zhongshu said: "Our young master's family is seriously ill, and I heard that only Governor Li's skills can cure it!"
Zhang Xuezhou rubbed oil on his soles and left as soon as possible, leaving one person outside to cooperate.
Dong Zhongshu took a deep breath and began to mention his needs directly.
He looked at the general Bodang and felt that today's incident was difficult to deal with.
There was a reason why Wang Yanchong, the governor of the sect, received a lot of money. The other party obviously mistook them as agents of the evil country who came to assassinate them, and wanted to use them as military merits.
With people like this pushing him behind the scenes, General Bodang would not be able to listen to their excuses, and he would more likely become a sword.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have something to say, go to the prison and tell me something." Bodang raised his sword and said, "Or try a certain sword!"
"Lord Bodang, we are a business group from Shu County, and we uphold the integrity of Wen County..."
"Someone, tie them up!"
Seeing that everyone only defended themselves but did not resist, Bodang called the sergeants in the rear to arrest them.
Suddenly there were shackles and other things on everyone. When Bodang took a whip and whipped everyone out of the store, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"Is the group going to be wiped out? My high-risk investment can't be made too quickly, right?"
The cold wind blew in the night, and as he listened to everyone being whipped away, Zhang Xuezhou took another look at the boss who was hiding in a corner of the guest house and did not dare to make a sound.
"Don't talk nonsense. We just had a little misunderstanding with the Feiyu Army. We can explain it clearly in the prison. The room will be left for us. We will come back to live in it in two days!"
Zhang Xuezhou warned the store owner, then went out in the dark and followed him.
