Alien Super Search

Xia Chengzong sat quietly on the bed, his breathing became slow and long, and as the medicinal power of Tiaoyuan Pill dissipated, every time he exhaled, he would bring out a strong smell of blood.And with the discharge of blood from all over the body, the stagnant places all over his body began to unclog slowly. Although his face was still as pale as paper, the feeling of ashes and failure was gone.

Xia Zhanhong stood by the bed, watched his father's complexion gradually improve, and finally showed a relaxed expression, turned his head to his younger sister who was still nervous and said, "Yubing, don't worry! Dad is fine, and he will recover in a few days." If you can recover as before, go and see your little brother! I will take care of you here!"

Xia Yubing heard that his father's injury could be healed, his brows were furrowed, he nodded with a smile, then turned around and gently opened the door, and walked out!

Seeing his sister gently closing the door outside, Xia Zhanhong turned around again and focused on his father.

One day, two days, three days... Time passed slowly, and Xia Chengzong's injury gradually improved.On the third day, his face was no different from that of an ordinary person, and at this moment, the whole room was filled with a thick smell of blood.

"It's almost time to ventilate. Now my father's body is fine. All we need to do is to drain some fine blood in his body, and he will be fully recovered!" Thinking in his heart, Xia Zhanhong turned and walked to the window, opened the window, released The smell of blood in the house.

Another night passed in a blink of an eye, and on the morning of the fourth day, not long after the sun had risen, Xia Chengzong, who was sitting quietly, exhaled a long breath, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Father! You're awake, have you fully recovered?" Xia Zhanhong hurried to the bed. Although he knew that his father's injuries must have recovered, he still couldn't help asking.

Xia Chengzong nodded lightly and said: "It's all healed, and there's no hidden wound left!" Looking at his son, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face.If his son hadn't obtained the Tiaoyuan Pill this time, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be useless.

"Father! Get off the ground first, sit on a chair for a while, and I'll let Yu Bing prepare the meal. You are just recovering from a serious injury, and your body is weak. You need to replenish nutrition quickly!" Caught Xia Chengzong's arm.

Xia Chengzong moved his body to the side of the bed, and asked, "How long has it taken me to heal my wounds this time, have I missed the merchant meeting?" Now that his injuries are gone, he naturally does not want to lose his position as the patrol captain.

Xia Zhanhong replied softly: "Today is the day when the merchant meeting is held, and everything is in time. You should take care of yourself and recover your strength. No one can take the position of patrol captain!"

Helping his father to the chair and sitting down, Xia Zhanhong walked out of the room quickly.As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, there was a sudden bang on the door.

"Yeah!" Xia Zhanhong looked up at the sky, his eyes burst into a cold light, and he sneered in his heart: "You guys are really impatient for rushing so early!" He walked quickly to the door, stretched out his hand and opened the courtyard door, I saw a city guard standing at the door.

Before Xia Zhanhong asked, the city guard had already said: "The captain has an order to order Xia Chengzong to go to the tax hall quickly to participate in the city's merchant meeting!"

Xia Zhanhong said lightly: "Brother, please reply to the captain, my father is unable to move now, and I am afraid he will arrive later!"

The city guard said with a blank face: "I'm just the one who delivered the order, and I don't care about anything else! The captain's order has been delivered, so I'm leaving!" He cupped his hands, turned around and strode away.

Xia Zhanhong looked at the retreating figures of the city guards, the corner of his mouth twitched, showing a disdainful smile, and then closed the courtyard door with his hand back.

After ordering his sister to prepare meals, Xia Zhanhong returned to his father's room.

"Zhan Hong, who came just now?" Xia Chengzong asked when he saw his son enter the room.

Xia Zhanhong replied softly: "It's the city guards who came to deliver the school captain's oral order, asking you to attend the merchant meeting!"

"It's so early! The merchants haven't arrived yet... But since it's the captain's order, I'll go there quickly!" Saying this, Xia Chengzong had already stood up.

Xia Zhanhong stepped forward to stop his father, and said in a deep voice: "Father! Since you know that the meeting cannot be held so early, why are you in a hurry? Although your injury has healed, your strength has not yet recovered!"

Xia Chengzong frowned, and said hesitantly: "My injury has healed, what excuse does the Tang family have! Even if my strength has not recovered for a while, the captain will not agree to remove me from the position of patrol captain. The Tang family has to go..."

Xia Zhanhong shook his head, pushed his father back on the chair, and explained softly: "The Tang family is in charge of the city's tax revenue, and those merchants have to watch their faces. If the merchants jointly raise objections, just say that you don't believe your injury. It has been recovered, let you prove it on the spot, and then I will find you an opponent... The captain also has to agree, after all, the tax officer was appointed by Dingjiang County, and he has no control over this. In addition, I guess the captain may also The Tang family is definitely not the only one fighting for the patrol leader today!"

Hearing this, Xia Chengzong's expression became extremely serious, he pondered for a moment, and said softly: "But now the captain has sent an order, if I don't go..."

"The captain's oral order is just to ask you to go to the meeting. The word 'hurry up' must have been added by the messenger! The purpose is nothing more than to test your current situation again. Let's ignore it. You can take care of yourself today and recover your strength as soon as possible, and I will arrange the rest!"

Seeing his son's confident expression, Xia Chengzong immediately felt relieved.At this time, Xia Yubing walked in with a food box and a smile on his face: "Father! Brother! It's time to eat!"

When Xia Chengzong was recovering with peace of mind, the city guard who sent the message had already arrived at the tax hall in the center of Pingshan City.

In a spacious living room, the city guard stood with his bow. Opposite him, Tang Feng, the head of the Tang family, and Tang Mingxuan, the eldest son, sat on chairs.

"Have the orders been delivered? What's the situation in the Xia family?" Tang Feng asked.

The city guards bowed and replied in a low voice: "The oral order has been sent, but Xia Chengzong has not come forward. His son said that Xia Chengzong is inconvenient to move and will arrive later, and he wants me to reply to the captain!"

Tang Feng turned his head, exchanged glances with Tang Mingxuan, then waved at the city guards, and said lightly, "Go back and report to the captain, go out through the back door, and be careful not to be discovered."

After the city guards left, Tang Feng said with a smile on his face, "It seems that Xia Chengzong's injuries are already quite serious, and he can't even receive the orders from the school captain. The position of patrol captain is already in his pocket. ... This old fox, Captain, insisted on waiting until the merchant meeting. It seemed that he had won seven days for Xia Chengzong, but he was actually just looking for a suitable candidate. Hehe, even if he was killed, he would never have thought that the Xu family is also ours!"

Tang Mingxuan looked calm, and said lightly: "The matter of the patrol captain is nothing, but Xia Zhanhong's change is really unexpected. In a month, he broke through to the middle level of martial arts, and killed Wei who took the damage pill in the gladiatorial fight." [-]. Not to mention, news came from Feilongzhai yesterday that Sanying and Xiaoying were also dead, and they were ordered by Mingjian to intercept and kill Xia Zhanhong...I guess, the last time Xia Zhanhong entered Tianyan Mountain , there must be some chance!"

Tang Feng suppressed his smile, nodded and said: "Even if he got the treasure of genius, he is only a middle-level military soldier. After today, Xia Chengzong will no longer be the patrol captain, and the Xia family will not be at our disposal in the future. As long as we can take charge of the security patrols in the city this time, we can directly attack Xia Yubing secretly, and then you will advance to the martial arts school..."

While Tang's father and son were plotting secretly, one after another, representatives of merchants in the city had already arrived at the tax hall.

At three poles in the sun, more than 100 people had already filled the hall, and the Tang family father and son also sat down next to the main seats.After a while, until no one came, a group of city guards entered, and the last of the city guards, the short and fat school lieutenant walked in slowly.

When he came to the main seat in the hall and sat down, the captain's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally fell on Tang Feng's face, and said lightly: "The tax officer, please announce that the merchant meeting begins!"
