Chapter 65 Next, the literary fight
"My son, my son?"

the old butler shouted anxiously.

He had just frozen Hong Yanling, the seventh lady of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, and was about to check the Ghost King in her body, but found that the other party had already escaped.

As a result, the next second, the aura of the Ghost King appeared on Chu Wujiang's body.

"Uncle Fu, don't worry."

"I am fine."

"It was just the ghost king's residual spirit that possessed me. The problem has been solved."

Chu Wujiang opened his eyes, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and smiled warmly.

"Master, have you really solved it?"

The old butler was shocked, knowing that the remaining soul of the Ghost King was extremely dangerous.

Even though she had been through a great battle and was severely injured by Marquis Jingping, and had just possessed Hong Yanling and suffered losses, she was still a huge threat to ordinary Yuandan realm warriors.

In the end, the head of the family actually solved it?
The old butler quickly injected his energy and checked it from beginning to end. He still said with some concern:

"Master, how about we go to the Great Compassion Temple and ask Master Beiku to take a look?"

After all, when it comes to the secret arts of the soul, the masters of Buddhism and Taoism are more professional.

Master Beiku is the Buddhist leader in Longzhou, so naturally he is quite capable.

"Need not."

"The remaining soul of the Ghost King has already been exhausted. This is all thanks to Marquis Jingping and Uncle Fu."

Chu Wujiang refused outright. He had many secrets and didn't want to be examined by a Buddhist master.

What's more, this achievement mainly belongs to Marquis Jingping and others, and Chu Wujiang doesn't want to emphasize his own contribution in collecting the heads.

The court just needs to know who dealt the final blow.

The old butler was also a smart man. He quickly realized that the Chu family should not take too much credit, and nodded quickly:

"Old slave, I obey."

After this great battle, the Chu family was blessed by their ancestors and did not suffer any losses. Instead, they made a lot of profits.

For example, the Zhenhai Marquisate owed a huge favor.

This is enough, don't be too greedy.

Of course, Chu Wujiang would not let go of the spoils he deserved. He glanced around and shouted:
"Captain Yan!"

Captain Yan was just a martial artist who had mastered the art of physical training, but he managed to avoid the aftermath of this great battle. He was truly blessed with good fortune. When he heard Chu Wujiang's shout, he hurried over.

"The villain is here!"

"Please give your orders, Lord Longcheng."

Chu Wujiang pointed to the big hole in the gourd's mouth, where a black iron coffin was lying quietly.

Such a big coffin is used to seal seven special heads. Although Chu Wujiang doesn’t know that they are Xia Yu’s whole family, he will definitely think that this is a treasure.

If it's a treasure, there's no reason to let it go.

"This coffin is forged from black iron, so it should belong to the Chu family."

"It's just that it involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. The Chu family is willing to temporarily hand it over to the government office and cooperate with the investigation."

"I would like to ask Captain Yan to give us a testimony."

[You are too shameless. ]

Captain Yan had never seen such a shameless person. After all, the black iron coffin was related to the true body of the Ghost King, which must be very dangerous.

Chu Wujiang did not plan to take it home directly, but to put it in the prefectural government office for a few days.

If there are still ghosts in the coffin, let the government office solve it. If there is no problem, move it back home.

"Captain Yan, don't you want to prove this?"

Chu Wujiang snorted coldly, and Captain Yan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly agreed:
"Lord Longcheng is selfless and impartial. I will order someone to carry the coffin back right away."

"Once the government office has found out the movements of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, I will definitely return the treasure."

Oh, that's right.

Chu Wujiang was finally satisfied after seeing that everything was looted. Of course, he would not forget the refugees who had exchanged their lives for money. He casually said two words:

"Captain Yan, you must ensure that the refugees you are dealing with get their money, not a penny less."

"Take them to the Changxin Chamber of Commerce to collect the money. For those who died, inform their relatives and help them rebuild their houses."

The refugees came back cautiously, and when they heard Chu Wujiang's words, they shouted in unison:
"Thank you, Lord Longcheng!"

Don't thank me, this is the money you earned with your lives. Or you should thank Hong Yanling who is in a coma.

Chu Wujiang then remembered the other person and looked into the distance at the gourd mouth.

Hong Tao, the eldest son of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, successfully used his vital energy to protect his sister's life. At this time, the guards of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion also rushed to the scene and formed an array.

Hong Tao breathed a sigh of relief and handed Hong Yanling to the guard. Then he stood up and walked to Chu Wujiang, bowed deeply, and thanked him:
"Thank you, Master Chu, for your help."

"The Hong family will never forget your kindness."

Chu Wujiang was somewhat surprised to see that Hong Yanling's abdomen was pierced but she was still alive.

[Hong Yanling is still alive. She is indeed a genius. Does she have some luck? ]

But it’s good that he’s alive, otherwise he would be killed by Master Wang’s blow through the abdomen, and the relationship between the Chu family and the Zhenhai Marquis’ Mansion would deteriorate rapidly.

Chu Wujiang quickly helped Master Hong up, and said apologetically:

"The situation just now was urgent, and the Chu family had no choice but to do so. I hope that Young Marquis will understand."

"If Miss Hong needs any help, the Chu family will do our best."

Hong Tao said seriously:
"The ghost king is possessed. Only by holding on to the determination to kill him can we severely injure the ghost king and give my sister a chance of survival."

"In addition to the promised precious weapons, I also have some auspicious items. Once my sister's injury recovers, the items will be delivered immediately."

I beat your sister, and you still give me gifts?

[This young marquis is really not a simple person. ]

[Although he is not a genius on the Tianjiao list or the Qianlong list, his bearing and mind can be said to be able to take on and let go. ]

【It is not appropriate to be an enemy. 】

Chu Wujiang had dealt with these young masters from aristocratic families several times, and he had never seen any fools among them.

Whether it is Lu Ce or Hong Tao, they are both excellent.

Hong Tao is older and his achievements in martial arts are mediocre, but he is absolutely qualified to be the heir to the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

Such talents are worth making friends with.

Chu Wujiang clasped his fists and said:

"You are too polite, young Lord."

"No matter what the relationship between the two families is, the young marquis will always be Chu's friend."

Hong Tao also nodded and said:
"My sister is seriously injured. I will talk to you another day."

After saying that, the guards of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion hurriedly left Hulukou with Hong Yanling.

With the strength of the Zhenhai Marquisate, Hong Yanling should be able to be rescued as long as she doesn't die on the spot.

The old butler reminded in a low voice:

"Master, there is no movement from other families. It is such a coincidence that the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion came. I am afraid there must be a trick."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:
"Whether it was a trick or not, the Zhenhai Marquisate did contribute to the elimination of the Ghost King."

"Hong Yanling was seriously injured again, and the nature of this matter has changed."

“We can’t proceed as planned.”

Originally, the Chu family, Marquis Jingping, Earl Shunyi, and Prefect Liu had reached a consensus to put the blame on the Marquis Zhenhai's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, in the battle to eliminate the Ghost King, the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion appeared very timely and made corresponding contributions.

In this way, in the eyes of the imperial court, the suspicion that the Zhenhai Marquisate was colluding with the Wangui Sect was greatly reduced.

In addition, Hong Yanling also warded off disaster for the Chu family this time. It is reasonable and moral for the Chu family to remain silent on this matter, or at least not put the blame on them.

The old butler suddenly realized, and then asked in a low voice:

"Then the master's preparation is..."

Chu Wujiang said decisively:

"Let's go back first and then complain severely."

"What does the gravekeeper have to say this time?"

"If they don't give us an explanation, we will leave it to His Majesty to deal with."

Chu Wujiang didn't plan to go out again before digesting the fruits of this victory.

The physical fight is over, and the next step is the verbal fight.

Moreover, the entire Longzhou needs an alliance of nobles to unify it.
