After a while, Hongying blinked, and Liu Shui retracted his hands, letting Meihua help Hongying lie down and rest. Hongying said: "Brother, you can go and rest. Just let Meihua take care of me here."
Liu Shui saw that Hongying's face had improved a little, so he said, "Okay, you rest for a while, and I'll come see you later."
Liu Shui returned to the room and used his kung fu to restore his internal strength. At nightfall, Liu Shui felt that he had almost recovered, so he wanted to give Hongying some more internal energy. At this time, Furong opened the door and walked in.
It turns out that Furong came back from the government office and just found out about Hongying's poisoning. She quickly asked: "How is Sister Hongying?"
Liu Shui said: "There are no changes for the time being. But I need to discuss something with you."
Furong said: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Liu Shui said: "Just now I carefully checked the poison in Hongying and thought of a way to get rid of the poison in her body."
Furong said quickly: "Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
Liu Shui said: "You and I will use our inner strength to help her force out the poison."
Furong asked doubtfully: "Didn't you already input your internal energy just now?"
Liu Shui said: "It is an external input, and the effect is not very good. It cannot force all the poison out of the body. We can only force out the poison from the inside out until all the poison is forced out of the body. And my internal strength is not enough limited."
Fu Rong said: "You want me to work with you to cultivate energy and poison."
Liu Shui nodded and said, "It should be possible to combine the internal strength of the two of us."
Furong had long been attached to Liu Shui, so naturally she would not refuse and immediately agreed. The two of them came to Hongying's room together.
Liu Shui said to Mei Hua again: "You stay far away outside. No matter what you hear, no one can come in. Until we come out and call you, we will help your young lady to extract poison. You protect the law well." Mei Hua He quickly agreed and went out, keeping a distance. …
The three of them worked all night until daybreak. All the poison in Hongying's body has been forced out, and her complexion has improved a lot. Liu Shui and Furong were exhausted. Hongying said to the two of them: "Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister Furong."
Liu Shui said: "We are not outsiders, how can we say these kind words."
Furong also said: "Sister Hongying, let him accompany you well these days and give you more internal energy."
Hongying said, "I want to take plum blossoms and chrysanthemums back to my hometown tomorrow."
Liu Shui asked strangely: "Why are you going back right now?"
Hongying said sadly: "Taohua and Hehua passed away one after another. I want to send them back to their hometown for burial. I will come back to you when my skills are fully restored."
Liu Shui said: "It's just that the things here are over, I have to go to the capital. Your injury has recovered, and we can meet in the capital."
Hongying said: "This is the best. I happen to want to go to the capital as well."
The three of them talked again, and Hongying called Juhua and Dongmeihua in. Tell them that the poison in their bodies has been forced out. They will return to their hometown tomorrow and ask them to prepare the carriage. When the two heard that they were going back to their hometown, they hurriedly turned around and went out to prepare.
The next morning the carriage was ready. Juhua helped Hongying onto the carriage, and Liu Shui sent them outside the door and watched them leave. Liu Shui didn't go back to his room to rest until he could no longer see his back. He was indeed too tired after a hard night, and fell asleep soon.
After noon, Mudan came over and woke Liu Shui up. She knew that Liu Shui was working hard to force out poison for Hongying last night, so she didn't disturb him all morning.
Liu Shui woke up and asked sleepily: "You are making trouble again, why don't you let me rest for a while?"
Mudan said: "We are not causing trouble, but someone invited you to meet at Zuixian Tower to discuss important matters."
Liu Shui asked: "Who is this big shot? You are so impatient."
Mudan said: "It's Master Wuchen, Master Liaochen and others."
Liu Shui said quickly: "Then we have to go quickly, we can't keep the master waiting for a long time." After saying that, he stood up quickly and rushed to Zuixian Tower with Furong and Peony. Seeing that the heads of various factions in Tanzhou were actually there, Liu Shui greeted them one by one and everyone took their seats one after another.
Liu Shui asked: "I wonder if the seniors have asked me to come over to the juniors. What are your instructions? If you need any help, please make it clear."
Master Liaochen said: "During this period, due to the scourge of the entire Xiangmen, Tanzhou Wulin suffered a great disaster and suffered heavy losses. The reason was that each faction fought on its own, which gave them an opportunity to defeat them one by one, resulting in The situation is irreversible. Therefore, we all discussed that we really need an alliance to unite our efforts to support and take care of each other. Now we are interested in forming an alliance, but we need a leader. After everyone's public recommendation, we think that only you, young hero, can take on this responsibility."
Liu Shui hurriedly said: "Seniors, you have fallen in love by mistake. How can I, the junior, dare to take on this important task? I still ask the master to take the responsibility. I, the junior, must follow the horse's lead and serve wholeheartedly."
Master Liao Chen also said: "Everyone has seen what Young Hero has done recently and will remember it in their hearts. The people of Tanzhou also admire Young Hero very much. This matter is indeed a thankless thing. Young Hero Are you afraid of being too tired?"
Liu Shui said: "Master has misunderstood. Firstly, the juniors are young and cannot take on such a big responsibility. Secondly, the juniors must travel north to gain knowledge. Seniors, I can't thank you enough for your love. Why don't you nominate someone else? If you have Whatever you need me to do, I'll just tell you. What do you think?"
Everyone felt a little regretful when they saw that Liu Shui really didn't want to assume the position of alliance leader.
While he was talking, someone came in from outside and said to Liu Shui: "Young hero, you are indeed here. Make it easy for me to find you." When everyone looked, they saw that it was Gao Qian, Wu Qiong's bodyguard.
Liu Shui quickly asked: "Brother Gao, do you have anything important to do with me?"
Gao Qian saw that those present were all famous figures in the Tanzhou martial arts world, so he came forward to pay homage to them one by one. Then he said to Liu Shui: "The governor has returned to the government. After he heard about Junshan, he wanted to invite the young master to come and talk." Liu Shui said, "Then I will go to see you tomorrow."
Gao Qian said hesitantly: "Liu Shaoxia, if there is nothing special to do, how about you stay with us now? Otherwise, I won't be able to deliver."
This..." Liu Shui was a little unhappy, thinking that you didn't see me talking to everyone. If Wu Qiong greeted me, I would just leave these people alone, and it would be too much to follow the crowd, so Liu Shui couldn't help but hesitated.
Seeing Liu Shui's expression, Master Wuchen knew his scruples and said quickly: "Since Lord Wu has invited us, we naturally have something important to discuss. Young hero, you don't have to worry about us. You can go with Gao Wei."
Everyone said it didn't matter and urged Liu Shui to go quickly. Liu Shui confessed to everyone and followed Gao Qian to the door of the house.
Just as he was about to enter, Mudan said: "Master, go in, we will wait for you at the door."
Gao Qian found it strange and asked, "Why don't Miss Peony go in? We are no longer outsiders and enemies, so you are no longer an outsider." Furong snorted and said, "The threshold of your family is too high, and we ordinary people are really not worthy of it." .”
Liu Shui also said: "I will be back soon. You go shopping and go back directly."
Furong said: "You don't have to worry about us. You can go in by yourself." Liu Shui thought that it was okay for Furong and Peony not to go in. They had been working hard recently and it was appropriate for them to relax.
Liu Shui entered the hall and was about to salute when he was stopped by Wu Qiong. After the two sat down, Wu Qiong said: "Yanmei has already told me in detail about the Junshan incident. This battle not only wiped out the rebellion, but also recovered the official grain and official silver. Mr. Liu deserves the most credit. We need to do more. Many people have been loyal to the country, and their subordinates must report to the court to provide good care and reward to the families of the martyrs who died in battle." Liu Shui also said: "This is our responsibility. Since you are sincere, you can comfort their heroic spirits. "
Wu Qiong said: "Gao Qian just said that the Tanzhou Wulin is having a gathering at Zuixian Tower. I wonder if I have affected your discussion. If so, please forgive me." Liu Shui originally wanted to ask him something, but he couldn't ask directly. .
Liu Shui thought that he would know sooner or later anyway. If I didn't tell him clearly, it would make him suspicious. Then he said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that they want to establish a martial arts alliance and want to elect the junior as the leader. The junior has little talent and little knowledge, and dare not take on important responsibilities."
Wu Qiong said: "Young Master is too modest. Their idea is very good. But in that case, it may delay the Young Master's future."
Liu Shui smiled and said: "My lord is just joking. I'm a villager in the mountains. How can I talk about my future?"
Wu Qiong said: "Young Master is unaware of something. We have reported your great achievements to the imperial court and suggested that Young Master serve in the army. Based on the current Queen's love for talents, she will at least appoint you to the position of general."
Liu Shui said: "Thank you for the reminder, sir. But please give up this plan. Common people have no intention of holding an official position and are not qualified for it." Wu Qiong was secretly surprised.
Wu Qiong then asked: "Is Yanmei offensive to you?"
Liu Shui said: "This has nothing to do with the princess. This junior has no intention of pursuing an official career."
Wu Qiong said: "It would be a pity if this is the case. But you are still young, and it will not be too late to figure it out later."
Liu Shui thought of the captured people in Xiangmen who didn't know how to deal with them, so he asked: "Sir, have the captured people in Xiangmen been dealt with?"
Wu Qiong said: "There are no important people to deal with. I originally wanted to know something from that elder's mouth, but unfortunately he died of menstruation due to inadvertence. Now there is only one hall master left who is the biggest boss, but what he knows It’s limited, so I can’t find out why. I think we’ll execute a few key figures tomorrow, and the rest will be sent to the army.”
Liu Shui asked: "Who is that hall master?"
Wu Qiong replied: "It's a man named Lu Yuan."
Liu Shui said: "Is he unrepentant or has he awakened?"
Wu Qiong said: "This person is quite cooperative and answers whatever I ask. However, his knowledge is limited and he has no useful information."
Liu Shui said: "If he wants to repent, please let him live." Liu Shui had a good impression of this man, so he wanted to help him.
Wu Qiong asked strangely: "Do you have any connection with him? If you insist on letting him go, I will give you face."
Liu Shui said: "Thank you so much, sir. Then please ask someone to bring him, and let's ask you about him together."
After a while, Lu Yuan was taken away. Liu Shui saw that his face was haggard and listless, so he said, "Hall Master Lu, you are fine."
Lu Yuan was startled. He looked up and saw that it was Liu Shui. He said, "Master, please stop teasing me. I have already said everything I know."
Liu Shui asked: "Then are you willing to change your ways?" Lu Yuan answered that of course you are.
Wu Qiong said: "Today, for Mr. Liu's sake, I will let you go once. If you don't repent, I will die."
Lu Yuan hurriedly kowtowed in thanks and said: "I don't dare, I will be an honest man from now on. I will definitely not be involved in the Jianghu. I live in Tanzhou, and there are seniors and juniors, so I can't escape." Lu Yuan finished. , and kowtowed to Liu Shui a few more times.
Liu Shui said: "Don't do evil again in the future. If you only repent superficially, no one will be able to save you by then."
Lu Yuan said: "This villain understands it. Thank you young master for saving me."
Liu Shui said to Wu Qiong: "Then thank you so much, sir!"
Wu Qiong said: "Since you came to plead for mercy, let him leave with you, and I will return to the capital. If you arrive in the capital, you can come to me."
Liu Shui said: "If you get to the capital, you must go and see your Lord. I'll say goodbye." Then he and Lu Yuan left the government office. Lu Yuan said: "Thank you very much, Master, for saving me. Please let Lu Yuan follow you from now on."
Liu Shui smiled and said, "That's unnecessary. I don't have money to hire a bodyguard. You have to support your family, so there's no point in following me. Just say goodbye." Lu Yuan had no choice but to leave.
At this time, Furong and Mudan came over and asked, "Master, why did he come out?" Liu Shui said, "I begged you to spare him once. This man is not bad in nature. Let's give him a chance. What are you doing?" You’re still here, didn’t I ask you to go for a walk?”
Furong said: "We want to go shopping, and you have to accompany us." Liu Shui said: "That's fine, I have nothing to do today anyway, so let's go shopping with the two beauties." The three of them walked slowly.
Liu Shui, Furong and Peony hadn't been shopping for long when Furong said she was tired and wanted to go back to rest. Liu Shui felt strange. Normally she was pretty good at wandering around, so she asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? You're getting tired so quickly today."
Furong smiled and said: "Master, I have no strength. Why don't you carry me on your back?"
Liu Shui smiled and said: "Are you still a child? You still have to carry it, and you are not shy."
Mudan said: "She wants the young master to give her his inner strength."
Furong said: "Peony still knows my thoughts, and you want it too, right?"
Liu Shui smiled and said, "Do you think I am a basin for gathering internal energy?"
Furong and Peony said in unison: "Young Master is biased."
Liu Shui asked strangely: "Why do you say I'm partial?"
Furong said: "You know how to give Sister Hongying your inner strength, and you never lose any to us."
Liu Shui hurriedly said: "Isn't she poisoned? There is nothing we can do about this."
Furong said: "Now that she has gone back, you can lose some to us."
Liu Shui said, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Furong and Mudan were overjoyed when they saw Liu Shui agreeing, and hurriedly took Liu back to the Li Mansion.
