Ping'an County, south of the city.
Chen Yuan and Wang Ping were patrolling with several white servants.
After the Huang family incident, the county government's defenses began to be tight again. Not only them, but most of the county government officials were assigned tasks.
Mr. Zhang from the Tianxun Division had made it very clear before that the escaped Wusheng Cult thieves were not caught at all and were still hiding in Ping'an County.
"Brother Yuan, do you really want to compete for the position of the leader?" Wang Ping looked around, came closer, and asked in a low voice.
There was no other way, he was really curious, what on earth was Chen Yuan thinking, and... how did he improve his strength?
Although Chen Yuan was more diligent than him, they had competed last month and were only slightly better than him. There was still a big gap between him and the blood refining level.
I've been lying at home for more than half a month, and it feels like a year has passed.
The world is changing really fast.
"Such a good opportunity, I really won't be willing to let it go," Chen Yuan shook his head.
"Then... are you sure? Wu Yushan and Wang Lin in the cell are both top experts in the county government," Wang Ping's eyes flashed with worry.
Chen Yuan fell in love with him, and he always regarded Chen Yuan as his big brother. He really didn't want to see any accidents happen to him during the competition.
"About 100 million points."
Just a little bit, Brother Yuan, do you dare to bet?
Wang Ping was shocked and did not hear the ridicule in Chen Yuan's words.
"You will know by then."
"Brother Yuan, please don't be brave," Wang Ping said and sighed again:
"Brother Yuan, it would be great if you could really become the head catcher. Then, brother, I could also get some credit."
"Don't worry, I'll make you happy."
"Brother Yuan, look."
Suddenly, Wang Ping paused, raised his eyebrows, and motioned Chen Yuan to look to the left.
There, white silk was hung.
On the plaque in front of the door, there are two big characters, Iron Mansion!
Since the death of Song Laoliu, Tie Qinghua will naturally no longer regard herself as Mrs. Song, but as the Iron Lady.
"I heard that not all of the bodies of the iron cell leader have been found. Several corpses were mixed together. The only thing that was well preserved was the spear of the iron cell leader."
Wang Ping smacked his lips, seeming a little regretful.
"Why, Iron Prison Leader is kind to you, why do you look so pity?" Chen Yuan glanced at Wang Ping.
"No, what is the identity of the prison leader? How could I be related to him for no reason?"
"Okay, let's go patrol the front."
Chen Yuan whispered.
"Brother Yuan, do you think that once Tie Xuan dies, can the properties under his control be preserved? I heard that Tie Lady's strength is just blood refining. She is completely different from Zhu Sihai of the Sihai Gang. It would be beneficial for the Huang family to be destroyed. .”
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. It depends on what the Iron Lady has to do."
"Hey, what kind of nickname is the Iron Lady for a woman? I just don't know if the prison leader can still be so iron after he dies."
There was something in Wang Ping's tone that meant he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"It won't be our turn no matter what, so we're just worrying."
Chen Yuan scolded lightly.
Wang Ping smiled brightly, stopped discussing Tie Qinghua, and instead winked and said:
"Brother Yuan, you, the oiran of Yanyu Tower, really don't want to give it a try? Maybe... after that, you can get some luck in tomorrow's competition."
"You can go if you want. I have to practice tonight."
"Are you still practicing at night?"
"Otherwise, where do you think strength comes from? The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Only by practicing hard can you have strength that others cannot possess."
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold...Brother Yuan, I suddenly discovered that you are quite talented in literature." Wang Ping muttered.
"Of course, do you really think I spent several years in private school in vain?"
"I seem to have read more books than you. Why are you so good?"
Chen Yuan was silent.
"Forget it, Brother Yuan, if you want to practice hard tonight, then I will go to Yanyu Tower tonight to see if it is true, as my father said, that time will leave no trace. If it is really good, you must go there another day. .”
"Let's talk about it another time."
"Stop talking, Brother Yuan, you have changed. You were not so coy about this kind of thing before..."
...
...
late at night.
Chen Yuan's home.
After finishing his sword practice, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, put the long sword into its scabbard, hung it on the wall, took out a set of black robes from the cabinet, and hung the black iron mask on his face from the box under the bed.
He walked out of the house quietly.
He is going to Tiefu to find Tie Qinghua.
She is not important, nor is Tie Xuan's death. What is important is the twenty tiger bone pills Tie Qinghua promised.
Although Chen Yuan has some money, to be honest, he has very few connections. He cannot be exposed too much for the time being before he takes the position of being the head catcher in the county government.
Otherwise, it will cause some unnecessary trouble.
At present, what he relies on is still Tie Qinghua.
Moreover, the most important thing is that although the cultivation resource of Tiger Bone Pill can penetrate the entire foundation building realm,... after reaching the bone refining level, it may not be that simple.
You will definitely need some other elixir assistance.
Cultivation resources such as Tiger Bone Pill are not easy to obtain. Chen Yuan's plan is actually to temporarily support Tie Qinghua. Of course, it is too early to say whether it will be successful.
Iron Mansion.
The candlelight gradually extinguished, and except for the sounds of some patrolling footsteps, the entire Iron Mansion was silent.
"Brother, if the Tie cell leader is dead, should we continue to work for the Tie family? I heard that there are many forces outside who are coveting the Tie family's foundation."
"Without a bone refining master, I'm afraid..."
One of the two patrolling Tie family guards said in a low voice.
It's not just him. Ever since the news of Tie Xuan's death came back, the entire Tie Mansion has been shrouded in a panic. The reason why Song Laoliu and Tie Qinghua can firmly control these foundations is because of Tie Xuan. Xuan's reputation.
But now that Tie Xuan is dead, the demons and ghosts in Ping'an County will not let this good opportunity pass by.
Without the master of bone refining, Tie Qinghua's brothels, gambling houses, and pickpocket industries would be a big piece of meat.
"Madam is usually very kind to us, how can we..." Another person hesitated.
"Brother, you are confused. She is good to us because we sacrifice our lives for him, but now, we are sacrificing our lives!"
"I'll think about it again..."
"What else is there to consider? In my opinion..."
The two guards walked away, and a black shadow emerged from the corner and headed in one direction.
In a mourning hall covered with white silk, seven white candles were burning. A cool breeze blew in from outside the door. Tie Qinghua, who was kneeling on the futon, had a cold face.
"rustle..."
Chen Yuan didn't cover up. After checking that no outsiders were around, he walked into the mourning hall.
