Near the wall, a booth was already empty, and it was the spot where Xia Zhanhong caught a glimpse of the emerald green just now.

After pondering for a while, Xia Zhanhong gave up the idea of ​​using the search function to find it. From the speed of the two people just now, it can be seen that they must be martial soldiers with perfect cultivation. Incomparable.But now he is only a middle-level martial artist, and the gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by experience.Therefore, for the sake of caution, he decided not to venture into this muddy water, and it would be safer to go to the capital to buy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Zhanhong turned around and walked out of the market, heading home.

In the morning of the next day, Xia Zhanhong slowly collected his energy in the courtyard. After letting out a mouthful of turbid air, he clenched his fists vigorously and murmured: "It's almost [-] catties. Unfortunately, time is running out. If you give me a few more days , then you can reach the strength of a thousand catties, and use the Misty Misty body technique!"

"Squeak!" The door was slowly pushed open, Xia Zhanhong turned his head, and saw Xia Yubing struggling into the courtyard with a large basket of vegetables and fish.

Xia Zhanhong quickly took two steps, stepped forward and snatched the vegetable basket from his younger sister, and complained in a low voice: "I told you to hire some servants, and our family is not short of these money now, you just don't listen, look Tired you!" As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his sister's forehead with his sleeve.

Xia Yubing looked at his brother and smiled happily: "Brother! It's okay, I'm not tired, I don't worry about others taking care of you!"

Xia Zhanhong held the vegetable basket in one hand and his sister in the other, and walked towards the kitchen: "Okay! Don't mention this, anyway, it's your housekeeper. Since you don't want to hire someone, then it's up to you! I have to persuade our father to invite colleagues at home every time, so you have to prepare it early in the morning!"

Xia Yubing followed behind her brother and said softly, "Brother! Dad said that my skills are better than the chefs in Zuibin Building. Besides, there are only a few such banquets throughout the year, so I won't be tired."

"Yes! My sister's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world!" Xia Zhanhong pampered his sister's head and laughed heartily.

After sending the basket to the kitchen, Xia Zhanhong turned around and left to buy medicine pills.Although the function of the book page is great, it also consumes a lot of energy. He must prepare a large amount of elixir, so as not to consume his energy when he uses it.

It was almost noon when Xia Zhanhong returned home. Under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, a sumptuous banquet had already been set up. His father was sitting beside him, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Xia Zhanhong walked up to him and asked softly, "Father! The three teams haven't arrived yet?"

Xia Chengzong opened his eyes, looked up at Xia Zhanhong, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, then nodded slowly: "It's still early, wait a little longer!"

Xia Zhanhong frowned slightly when he heard this, and said coldly: "Father! I remember you used to entertain them, and every time they arrived early, why didn't they show up at this time today?"

Xia Chengzong looked a little gloomy when he heard the words, and said hesitantly: "Perhaps the patrol team is busy with business, and they can't get away for a while!" After speaking, he himself was a little bit disbelieving, and sighed with a wry smile.

Xia Zhanhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you are busy with business, it's unlikely that all three of you will catch up at the same time! Hmph! It's said that people leave the tea, and they haven't left yet, but they are just injured. They are so snobbish, it really wasted your usual efforts to promote them!"

Xia Chengzong looked up at the sky, and said sadly: "It's human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck! With my injury, I really can't be qualified for the post of patrol captain anymore! But what they did is really chilling..."

"As long as the lieutenant doesn't personally announce that dad will be removed, you will still be the patrol captain! How do they know that your injury will never get better! Hmph! Then they will regret it!" Xia Zhanhong said with a sneer.

Xia Chengzong seemed unwilling to mention this matter again, shook his head slightly, and ordered: "Zhan Hong, go and call Yu Bing and Ding Kun to come out! This time you won the wrestling fight, and our family has not celebrated well yet!"

Xia Zhanhong nodded in response, and when he got up, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"They're coming! Quick, Zhan Hong, go and open the door!" Xia Chengzong smiled suddenly, and stood up abruptly, but because he got up too quickly, he coughed violently.

Xia Zhanhong hurriedly took out a Bi Ning Pill and handed it to his father, then patted his back lightly, and only walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard after his father's breath stabilized.

The courtyard door opened, and it wasn't the three teams standing outside the door, but a young man with an anxious face.Xia Zhanhong knew this person. His name was Wu Yuan. He joined the patrol team at the age of 16 and had been with his father for ten years.But because his cultivation has been unable to break through, the other three people who were at the same time as him were all promoted to the team, and he was still an ordinary patrol member.

"Zhanhong, is the captain there? I have something important to tell him!" Wu Yuan also knew Xia Zhanhong, and when he saw the courtyard door opened, he hurriedly opened his mouth.

"My father is here! Brother Ang, come in and talk!" Xia Zhanhong hurriedly let Wu Yuan into the courtyard.

When Xia Chengzong saw that only Wu Yuan came in, his expression darkened again!But in an instant, he smiled and greeted loudly: "Wu Yuan, come and sit down, we are about to celebrate Zhan Hong's victory in the wrestling fight, you came just in time, drink two more glasses with me!"

"Captain! It's terrible! Something serious happened!" After Wu Yuan entered the courtyard, he quickly walked up to Xia Chengzong, and with a plop, he knelt down on one knee.

Xia Chengzong frowned, and said in a low voice: "Wu Yuan, get up first, what happened, sit down and talk slowly!"

Wu Yuan didn't listen to Xia Chengzong's words at all. He knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Tang Feng found the captain this morning and said that you were seriously injured and no longer able to take charge of the patrol team. Now all the merchants in the city are asking for the patrol captain to be replaced!"

Although Xia Chengzong had known for a long time that his position might not be guaranteed, when he really heard the news, there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes.

At this time, Xia Zhanhong asked from behind: "Angkor! What did the captain say at that time?"

Wu Yuan looked back at Xia Zhanhong, and replied: "The captain said that seven days later, when the merchant meeting is held in Pingshan City, let the captain go there in person, and if it is determined that the injury cannot be recovered, he will announce the replacement of the patrol captain! "

Xia Zhanhong's eyes flashed, and he whispered to himself: "There are only seven days, and it will be too late to go to the capital! If I had known this, even if I was facing the Consummation of Wu Bing, I couldn't let go of that Tiaoyuan Pill yesterday..."

Wu Feng turned his head and said to Xia Chengzong: "Captain, this matter has spread throughout Pingshan City, and the three teams have already started looking for people to do activities, you should quickly think of a way! Brothers don't want you to leave... I have to go back quickly, the three squads are very strict with the brothers, and I also sneaked here in the name of patrol."

Xia Chengzong took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Wu Yuan, go back and thank the brothers for me! However, the position of the captain is really unsustainable for me. No matter who will be the captain in the future, you and the brothers don't want it." Bring any emotions, lest you suffer from mistakes!"

"Captain..." Wu Yuan had tears in his eyes, and after he shouted, his words got stuck in his throat.

Xia Chengzong waved his hands and said, "Okay, Wu Yuan! You are a big man, what are you crying about, go back quickly!"

Wu Yuan stood up, nodded lightly and said: "Captain, I will definitely take your words to my brothers, but it's hard to say whether they will listen. In everyone's heart, no one can replace your position!" As soon as the words fell, Wu Yuan turned around and left in a hurry.

Xia Chengzong watched Wu Yuan go out of the gate, turned his head and smiled at Xia Zhanhong, "Having been busy from morning to night for nearly 20 years, dad can finally relax in the future! You go and ask Yu Bing and Ding Kun to come out for dinner!"

Seeing his father's forced smile, Xia Zhanhong felt sour in his heart, because the forced smile could not conceal the loneliness in his eyes at all.

The family of four finished their lunch in silence, during which Xia Chengzong drank frequently, and finally got drunk alone.

Sending his father and younger brother back to the room, Xia Zhanhong asked his younger sister to take good care of his father at home.Then he went back to his room, took the triple crossbow and a set of flying tiger claws for rock climbing, and left the house.He must seize the opportunity to search for the Tiaoyuan Pill yesterday. If the other party has left Pingshan City, he can only use the treasure map to make a deal with Mo Zixuan.

Pingshan City has a radius of a hundred miles, and it is not too easy to search all of them.

"Within a radius of three miles, no Tiaoyuan Dan was found!" The same handwriting was repeatedly displayed on the page, and the Bi Ning Dan was consumed like running water.One afternoon, Xia Zhanhong searched the entire Pingshan City except for the dirty and poor south of the city, but found nothing.

Before evening, Xia Zhanhong came to the south of the city, reached out and took out three Bi Ning Pills and put them in his mouth.

"If there is still no one in the south of the city, we can only go to the Qizhen Treasure Pavilion!" Xia Zhanhong touched the treasure map in his arms, feeling a little bit reluctant, but when he thought of his father's injury, his expression immediately became extremely firm .

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhanhong said silently in his heart: "Search, Tune Yuan Pill!"

In the second square of the book page, the golden light shines brightly, and a line of small characters appears at the bottom: "Towards the southeast, at a distance of one mile, found Tiaoyuan Pill!"

"Found it!" Xia Zhanhong was overjoyed, almost cried out in joy, and hurried to the southeast.The search function can only determine the approximate location, and he needs to search carefully for the specific location.

Passing through a street, a market similar in appearance and structure to the North City Market appeared in front of him. The difference was that the surrounding environment was too dirty and messy, with garbage everywhere.

"I really didn't expect that Tiaoyuan Pill would appear in this dilapidated market. But that's okay, people who come here to buy things will definitely not have the vision to recognize Tiaoyuan Pill!" Thinking in his heart, Xia Zhanhong has already entered quickly. I went to the south of the city market.

Compared with the market in the north of the city, it was much more crowded here. Xia Zhanhong carefully observed every stall in the crowd, and walked to the depths of the market little by little.

After searching for about half an hour, Xia Zhanhong finally caught that touch of emerald green, which was still near the innermost part of the wall.

Xia Zhanhong took a closer look, and saw that there were no other items in this booth, only a transparent vial was placed in the center, and the emerald green Tiaoyuan Pill was in it.And the surroundings of this stall were also extremely deserted, only the young stall owner in his 20s stood quietly behind the stall.

Xia Zhanhong came to the booth in two steps and was about to open his mouth to ask.A feminine voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Hey! Looks like today's luck is not bad, that chick was not blocked, but found Tiaoyuan Pill in this shabby market!"
