I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 180 Gathering

After Gu Nian'an left, Xu Biao showed a helpless smile on his face. He also wanted to persuade his wife and the others to leave.

But the lady's attitude was firm, and they could not persuade her.

"Brother, Brother Gu, are you overthinking it? That monster has already become like that, is it possible for it to survive?

Besides, I admit that the monster has some abilities, but how can it threaten the safety of the entire Wuyun City with just its words? "

Hearing his brother's naive words, Xu Biao rolled his eyes helplessly, then walked away.

Ha! Who can tell the truth about such things? He felt that the most dangerous thing might not be the monster itself, but the jade fragment it carried.

If there really was something that could threaten the safety of Wuyun City, he felt that the possibility of that thing was quite high.

Seeing his elder brother walking away, Xu Hu stepped forward to support him and said, "Brother, it's useless to think so much now. In my opinion, it's nothing more than fighting back.

If the monster is really not dead, we can cooperate with Brother Gu to kill it again. The most important thing now is that you have to heal your wounds first."

Without saying anything more, the two of them walked away with Xu Hu's support and gradually disappeared into the deep night.

The next morning, an old man in Confucian robes stood respectfully in the lobby outside the inn waiting.

To be honest, if possible, Song Xiuwen didn't want to come and disturb them. He knew very well who lived in this inn.

But since he is the county magistrate of Wuyun City, he is responsible for all the events, big or small, in this city. Such a big commotion happened in the city last night. If he cannot investigate it clearly, it will be difficult for him to explain to the county magistrate.

"That's probably what happened to Madam last night."

In the room on the third floor of the inn, Xu Biao explained in detail what happened last night, then bowed and stood quietly by the side without saying anything more.

After listening to Xu Biao's story, Ye Jinxiu's expression became a little solemn.

A monster that even Yangyan can't kill is really a bit troublesome.

After a brief pause, Ye Jinxiu asked, "Are you sure the monster is still alive?"

Sure, who can tell? Logically speaking, with only a broken heart left, one should be dead for sure.

But the jade fragment on its body was too strange, so he had no idea what the monster was doing now.

So after a brief pause, Xu Biao replied:

"Madam, according to what Brother Gu said, the monster should still be alive. I think the monster is secondary. The main thing is that the treasure on it is a bit evil. So if possible, I still hope that you can leave Wuyun City as soon as possible, wait... ~"

Before Xu Biao could finish his words, Ye Jinxiu interrupted him and said, "General Xu, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. Tomorrow is Wanjun's wedding day. After the wedding, I will find a way to send Xue Yatou and Xiao Wei away.

As for me…

I will stay in Wuyun City until everything here is completely over."

Seeing Ye Jinxiu's firm attitude, Xu Biao felt helpless. He had said everything he needed to say. Since his wife didn't want to leave, he couldn't persuade her any more.

"Madam, the county magistrate of Wuyun City has been waiting downstairs for a while. How should we respond?"

"Go and tell him that someone tried to assassinate me last night. The noise last night was just caused by us chasing the assassin. As for the losses in the city, ask them to count and report the number. I will compensate you in full."

"Okay, I know what to do now."

After saying that, Xu Biao immediately said goodbye and went downstairs.

When Xu Biao came downstairs, Song Xiuwen, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly bowed and said, "General Xu, Madam Jiang, are you free now? I want to..."

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Xu Biao stared coldly at the old man in Confucian clothing in front of him and said, "Did you know that a villain tried to assassinate our lady last night?"

"This... this... this... this humble official... this humble official has never known."

Looking at the black-armored general in front of him who was staring at him coldly, Song Xiuwen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Boom"

With one foot, he crushed the floor of the inn into pieces. An inexplicable pressure erupted from Xu Biao.

"You want to get away with it by saying you didn't know about it? How can you be a county magistrate?"

"puff"

Hearing the loud shout from the person in front of him, Song Xiuwen was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"It is... it is my fault. I beg... I beg the general to forgive me."

“Humph, our lady had a little fright last night and is resting now.

But Madam has already told me that you should tell me after you have calculated the losses we caused in chasing the assassin last night, and we will compensate you in full."

Hearing what the person in front of him said, Song Xiuwen raised his head and bowed with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, madam, and thank you, general. I will make arrangements for the rest of the matter, and will definitely not let anyone else disturb madam and general again."

After saying this, Song Xiuwen quickly stood up, bowed, and then said goodbye and left.

After walking out of the inn, Song Xiuwen turned around and looked at the inn behind him. The panic on his face disappeared and instead he showed a helpless bitter smile.

He actually didn't really believe the excuses General Xu had just made. What kind of arresting an assassin would cause such a big fuss?

But what can you do even if you know? They are the family of an important person, and people like them can ruin you with just a flick of their fingers.

Therefore, whatever they say is right, and you just need to respond to them with trepidation. As for the rest, you don't need to ask or think about it. As long as you can get an explanation, it will be fine. Diving into the truth will only bring trouble to yourself.

"Gee, gee, gee."

At this moment, a team of knights in black armor were galloping on the official road to Wuyun City.

The man in the lead had a handsome face, but his face looked a little pale at this moment.

"Young General, that thing is very cold, and it will be too damaging if you carry it on your body for a long time. It would be better to let your subordinates carry it for you for a while."

A man in a black robe, his face shrouded in shadow, rode up to the heroic young man and suggested:

"No, I can still hold on for now. I'll rush to Wuyun City as soon as possible to hand this thing over to that person, and then we'll take my sister back to the border directly."

It could be heard that the young general's voice was still full of energy, so the man didn't try to persuade him any further.

In this way, the group continued to ride their horses towards Wuyun City.

"Amina, eat something. We are not far from those people. We should be able to catch up with them soon."

Hearing the call from the rough-looking man in front of her, the girl who was sitting by a tree to rest had a flash of annoyance in her eyes.

"Su Botai, do you want to die? We are now in the territory of those Central Plains people. I have told you many times, please call me Wang Yue. If you make a mistake again, you will get out of here and go back to the grassland."

Ignoring the girl's scolding, the man named Su Botai showed an awkward smile on his face. "Ah...~ Isn't there no outsider around Xiaoyue? That's why I...~"

Waving her hand to interrupt the sturdy man's next words, the girl stood up and ordered directly, "Go, try to intercept those people as soon as possible and bring my father's weapons back to the grassland."

Upon hearing this, more than a dozen strong men who were resting immediately got up and packed up. In a few moments, a group of people rode on their horses and galloped towards Wuyun City.

In the wild forests between mountains, a giant gray-haired wolf was running wildly with a tired-looking young man on its back.

"Ors, hurry up. Wuyun City is not far ahead. Once we get to the city, we can buy some supplies and we should be able to reach Anfeng County the day after tomorrow."

Hearing the urging voice of the young man on its back, the giant wolf, which was running wildly, almost burst into cursing.

Damn it, he's been carrying a person on his back for several days and is now almost exhausted. Now he wants the wolf to speed up. Is he trying to tire it to death?

But when he thought of the person he was about to meet, a hint of fear flashed in the giant wolf's eyes, and then the speed of the whole wolf couldn't help but increase again.
