Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 47

Xu Chong accompanied Li Xiangxue all afternoon.

He didn't bring Tong'er back to Li's house until Lao Li's mummy was put in the coffin.

"He'll sleep until the morning hours, don't worry."

Xu Chong handed over the child to the woman.

"Excuse me, my lord."

The woman took the child and bowed gracefully.

At this time, her eyes were still red and swollen, but she didn't cry anymore.

From her body, Xu Chong could see a stubborn force like a weed.

"Ah."

Xu Chong glanced at Zhao Liu who was waiting outside the house, "I'll go back first, the same sentence, if you need something, let someone come to the Yamen to pass a message."

Without further words, Xu Chong turned to the outer room and nodded to Zhao Liu.

Just as she was leaving the house, the woman had already carried the child to the bed, chased her out and shouted, "My lord."

"what happened?"

Xu Chong turned around.

"Please... please don't feel guilty, my lord."

The woman gritted her teeth and said: "Although I am just a woman, I understand that this matter has nothing to do with adults."

"What did Lao Li tell you?"

Xu Chong frowned.

Some things can be guessed as soon as they are guessed, and they cannot be spread everywhere.

will die.

"Why do you need him to tell me?"

The woman showed a miserable smile, "The days are obviously going well, but those red clothes have accidents as soon as they arrive, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Xu Chong was silent.

Yes.

The blood-clothed guards came twice.

For the first time, Lao Li lost half his life.

The second time, the remaining half was gone.

Such an obvious fact, others can't see through, how could Lao Li's wife can't see through.

"In addition, yesterday I had the idea of ​​leaving the city, so I went to inquire about it without telling Lao Li... only to find out that the city is closed again."

The woman shook her head, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, "My lord, I don't understand why they are so high above us, why do we want to have trouble with us ordinary people?"

Because you are common people.

Xu Chong answered in his heart, turned and left.

Zhao Liu didn't say a word, but followed behind step by step.

On the way, Zhao Liu suddenly said, "My lord, this is not the direction of the Yamen."

"You go."

Xu Chong kept walking, "I want to go back to Xu Mansion."

……

……

Xu House.

Daozi Wuxie led Xu Chong all the way to the study with the appearance of the housekeeper Lao Li.

After the door was closed, he sat down on the main seat without hesitation.

"But what did you find?"

Wuxie Daozi looked at Xu Chong expectantly.

"Yes, in fact, I discovered it a few days ago, but I haven't formed a clue yet."

Xu Chong replied, "I don't think it can be delayed any longer."

"Say!"

Wuxie Daozi's spirit was lifted.

"For the past few months, one person in the city has died violently for no reason every day. The death is extremely miserable, as if he had been made into a mummified corpse."

Xu Chong frowned and said slowly, "The strange thing is that these people are not concentrated in one place, but scattered all over the city. The only thing that is certain is that these dead are all old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Uh... this one."

Daozi Wuxie showed disappointment in his eyes, "It seems that Fu Yuanlong didn't really regard you as one of his own."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Chong asked puzzledly.

"Do you still remember what I said about the blood test of children and mothers?"

Wuxie Daozi chuckled, "What do you think the word blood light means?"

"This... these dead people were made by that bronze mirror?"

Xu Chong's face shook, revealing a trace of nervousness, "Is there a way to stop it without alarming Fu Yuanlong?"

"stop?"

Daozi Wuxie frowned, "Why, you want to save those ordinary people?"

"That's not so."

Xu Chong shook his head, and said indifferently: "I'm worried that if this continues, one day it will be my turn."

"Is that so... You can rest assured."

Daozi Wuxie frowned, and waved his hands indifferently, "The operation of the mother-child blood light mirror also consumes, and the price is one life per day."

"Why are the old, weak, sick and disabled dying?"

"Of course it's because these people's blood is the most unstable, and it's the easiest to draw."

"You don't have to worry about that at all."

"The martial artist opened the orifice point, and the strength and blood are combined, so the mirror can't move."

Although the news of the mummified corpse was of no use, Xu Chongken's act of sending the news reassured Daozi Wuxie a lot.

Now, Taoist Wu Xie felt that Xu Chong was really planning to make a deal with him, so he didn't hesitate to say a few more words to make Xu Chong feel at ease.

"It's easy to stop it, just take off one of the mirrors, but...Fu Yuanlong will probably kill you."

Daozi Wuxie teased with a smile, "As a future business partner, I advise you not to do such things that harm others and benefit yourself."

"Since it doesn't matter to me, why should I care about it?"

Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Fu Yuanlong didn't tell me this, so it seems he was wary of me?"

"Who gave you a good reputation for being jealous?"

Daozi Wuxie smiled, "Well... In that case, I have become the biggest benevolent person in Canglong's history."

"Ok?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"One life per day is the cost of running the Zijian to monitor the whole city, and running the Motherjian to give real-time feedback costs a hundred times the cost of the Zijian."

Daozi Wuxie shook his head, and said tsk tsk: "If I reveal my whereabouts, Fu Yuanlong will definitely use his mother's guide to grasp my movements in real time, so... tsk tsk."

Xu Chong's heart sank.

Although he guessed that those mummified corpses were caused by the mother-child blood mirror, he didn't expect that this was only part of the consumption of the child mirror.

If the child-mother mirror operates at the same time, doesn't that mean that at least one hundred and one lives must be filled in every day?
After a moment of silence, Xu Chong spoke again.

"What is the anomaly you asked me to pay attention to?"

Xu Chong frowned, with slight dissatisfaction in his tone, "Even if you give me a few general directions, it's better than aimless like now?"

"To be honest, I can't give direction on this."

Daozi Wuxie shook his head helplessly, "Not only me, the court, but also the water ghost himself, don't know the clue of Chongbao."

"Water ghost?"

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Didn't he disappear?"

"I went out a few days ago and have already contacted him."

Wuxie Daozi's tone was a little disdainful, "He dare not stay in the city with the blood of his son and mother."

"I see……"

Xu Chong nodded, and said calmly: "I was still thinking just now, is it possible that the water ghost has already obtained that important treasure, monopolized it and escaped."

"Oh, even if he has the guts, he doesn't have the conditions."

Daozi Wuxie rejected it very simply, "Once he loses contact completely, the higher-ups will know immediately, and he won't be able to run very far."

"Don't talk about him."

Xu Chong waved his hand, "What I'm worried about now is, what if I can't find Chongbao?"

"You should know that Fu Yuanlong came to Canglong just to hold on to this period of time. What will happen when the imperial court's reinforcements arrive after this period of time has passed?"

Xu Chong always felt that Daozi Wuxie seemed a little too calm from the beginning to the end, and he was not very eager for Chongbao at all.

"When the imperial court comes, why can't Taipingdao not come?"

Hearing this, Daozi Wuxie asked back, and said lightly: "To tell you the truth, Fu Yuanlong and I have the same purpose here, as long as we guard against each other. I don't have much hope for Chongbao."

"You think so, but Fu Yuanlong probably doesn't think so."

Xu Chong said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, "You don't know yet, Fu Yuanlong disappeared for half a month without anyone taking him with him, and no one knew where he went. He didn't show up until the day before yesterday."

"disappear?"

Daozi Wuxie raised his eyebrows, a little playful: "It's normal, after all, it is a baby of that level. If there is a chance...who wouldn't want to take it all by itself?"

"Then according to what you said... It is very likely that I don't need to do anything, just take a chance to trade with you for nothing?"

Xu Chong smiled, opened the door and left.

He has obtained the most critical pieces of information, enough to make a plan.
