"Cultivation breakthrough... this time it shouldn't be a dream!"
Realizing the importance of this elixir, Liu Yidou's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
Although there is no description of Peiyuan Pill in his memory, the pill cloud on the surface of the pill alone is enough to show the value of this pill!
"However, it is not suitable for me to take this pill for the time being."
"Use a few days to take good care of yourself. In addition, there is still some yang energy left after treating Qiao Qiao's injuries. Using this yang energy as a supplement may be able to maximize the effect of the elixir!"
Liu Yidou murmured to himself, telling him his future plans.
Now, the most serious thing before him is the improvement of his cultivation.
However, this matter should never be rushed.
Otherwise, once Cao Ying notices something unusual, he will immediately attract a killer.
Liu Yidou still needs to bear it for a few days, and then he can use the phoenix feather Cao Ying gave him as an excuse.
He just said that if his strength is restored, he might be able to be reused again.
Only in this way can you secure your position!
…
While Liu Yidou was hiding in the dark.
In the courtyard where Cao Ying was, several members of the hunting team had gathered together again.
"Father-in-law, you called us here, what do you want?"
Seeing that Cao Ying looked dull and didn't speak from the beginning to the end, a member of the hunting team asked.
Cao Ying then responded: "I called you here because I want to select one of you to be responsible for the affairs of the outer cabinet starting from today."
"A few days ago, there was a fire in the outer cabinet, and the empress escaped. I think it is necessary to send an expert. Only in this way can we prevent accidents from happening again."
After hearing this, the members of the hunting team looked happy.
For them, foreign countries are definitely a place they yearn for!
There are so many harem concubines competing for beauty, and more importantly, if you manage the surgery by yourself, you may only be able to hook your fingers.
All kinds of wonderful stories can happen with these empresses!
In addition, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. As a master of the realm of entraining qi, once he comes to the outer cabinet, he is equivalent to a top existence.
When the time comes, everyone on the left and right will speak with compliments, and no one dares to disobey him.
Such freedom is what everyone wants.
For a moment, everyone present felt a bit of yearning in their hearts. They looked directly at Cao Ying, just waiting for him to announce the final result.
"But... in my opinion, if you want to manage the external cabinet, you must have certain means."
"Especially this time, a queen has disappeared. What if we encounter something similar again and don't have enough cultivation?"
"So, if any of you wants to go, you have to take a test. Only if your strength reaches the standard can you take on this important task."
As soon as these words came out, the members of the hunting team present raised their hands.
"Father-in-law, I'll take care of this!"
"Father-in-law, my cultivation level is at the third level of the Qi Entrainment Realm. There is no one in this hunting team who is more suitable than me!"
"Yes, Eunuch, I also think Eunuch Zhao is the best candidate."
For a time, all the team members recommended themselves, or looked for helpers to speak for themselves.
Cao Ying looked at the competition for favor in front of him, and the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"You all say you are suitable, why not test it?"
"In this way, I will send one person, and whoever can win will become the steward of the outer cabinet!"
Having said this, Cao Ying waved his hand gently.
The next second, a middle-aged man with a frosty face had slowly walked over.
If Liu Yidou were here, he would definitely be able to identify the middle-aged man.
This is clearly the father-in-law who came out to accuse Liu Yidou when Qiao Qiao escaped!
However, the middle-aged man only has one arm left at this moment.
His face and eyes were even more cold and cruel.
"Which one of you is coming?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the entire audience with cold eyes, and then spoke immediately.
Seeing that the members of the hunting team didn't react at all, the middle-aged man simply said harsh words.
"Well, don't waste time, you should go together!"
"Arrogant!" Faced with such a provocation, the members of the hunting team suddenly became angry.
One of them didn't say anything, and immediately took action towards the middle-aged man.
In an instant, the person who took action made fists with both hands and hit the middle-aged man's chest hard.
But faced with such means, the middle-aged man just sneered.
"It's just you? If you can hurt me even a hair, that's your ability!"
Facing the intruder, the middle-aged man did not dodge, he straightened his chest and accepted such a powerful attack.
But no one expected that when the attacker's fists landed on the middle-aged man's chest, the middle-aged man only swayed slightly and didn't even step back.
"It's my turn now, right?"
Seeing that the person who took action looked shocked, the middle-aged man sneered.
The next second, his body flashed.
The whole person jumped up high, and his legs stepped straight down towards the face of the person who made the move!
thump!
The person who took action was not prepared at all, and by the time he reacted, a huge force was already pressing on his head.
The person who took action fell to the ground instantly, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
"idiot!"
From beginning to end, the middle-aged man only made one move.
But the hunter's team members were already lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
As time went by, the team members' reaction gradually weakened.
Until the end, there was no sound at all!
Seeing this scene, the other members of the hunting team held their breath.
Looking at the middle-aged man again, his eyes were filled with fear.
No one wants to die.
No one wants to fight with middle-aged people!
Seeing how powerful the opponent was, everyone who was originally eager to try had no choice but to pinch their noses and were forced to admit the middle-aged man's strength!
"Father-in-law, we will admit defeat!"
"That's right, father-in-law, we are willing to withdraw from the selection of the person who will be in charge of the external cabinet."
The members of the hunting team, facing the middle-aged man's indifferent gaze, had no choice but to speak slowly and admit that their skills were inferior to others.
But they never expected that Cao Ying's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.
"I, Tongque Taichung, do not raise useless people. Although you are a hunting team, you are not strong enough. How can you take on such an important task?"
"Cao Shuai, let me ask you, according to the rules of my Tongque Terrace, how should useless people be dealt with?"
Cao Ying snorted coldly and asked the middle-aged man beside him.
The man named Cao Shuai hurriedly replied: "Back to my father-in-law, useless people will only waste food. Only by killing them can we save resources!"
"Then you won't take action?" Facing Cao Shuai's response, Cao Ying shouted coldly.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the expressions of all the members of the hunting team suddenly changed.
Who would have thought that what was supposed to be a great opportunity for promotion would now turn into a murderous disaster.
But he saw Cao Shuai holding the sword in one hand, like a tiger entering a flock of chickens, and he had already arrived in the center of the crowd in a flash.
After more than a dozen moves, the members of the hunting team fell to the ground one after another.
And there was only one wound on their bodies.
It's at the neck, sealing the throat with a sword!
"Go back to father-in-law, all the useless people are dead!"
Seeing this ending, Cao Ying finally nodded.
But the next second, a cold light suddenly flashed in his pupils.
"not enough!"
"This time, the escape of a queen is definitely a big deal. As a result, the power of the formation lacks a link, and we can only make up for it with flesh and blood."
"At the beginning, when the incident happened, anyone who was not present was suspected. Cao Shuai... you are my nephew, and it is up to you to investigate this matter."
"I have only one request for you. You must not let any suspect go. I would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go!"
