Lei Qianjun's face was ashen, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a cast iron statue. Although he didn't say a word, everyone could feel the violent tumbling in his chest, and there seemed to be blood floating in the air, which made people tremble.
With a heavy expression, the housekeeper bowed and saluted, "It was my lack of thought that caused the accident to happen to Miss. Please, the city lord, punish me."
Lei Qianjun glanced at him without saying a word, just at this moment the door was pushed open from the inside, Gu Yanyuan, who had a young face, came out with the medicine box on his back, met Lei Qianjun's eyes and shook his head lightly, "Sir City Lord, Ling Ai is very old. The disease has not yet healed, and today I was attacked by a strange poison, and I have no ability to recover, please forgive me for being helpless."
The butler's body trembled, blood spilled from his nose and mouth, and his face turned pale.
tick-
tick-
A drop of blood fell on the ground, seemingly weighing ten thousand pounds, smashing the ground directly, revealing circular holes.
Lei Qianjun was silent for a few breaths, and then said slowly: "Mr. Gu is a master of medicine and Taoism, and has the ability to live and die. I believe that Mr. will be able to find a way to save the little girl. If the little girl survives this disaster, Lei will definitely serve it. Generous gift, thank you for your kindness, Mr.
Glancing at the housekeeper, Gu Yanyuan's eyebrows trembled, and he took a deep breath and saluted, "Thanks to the city lord's importance, this old man will try again, but this method is a bit dangerous, and it's not sure how effective it will be."
Lei Qianjun bowed his hands, "Mr. Lao is here."
After half a day, Gu Yanyuan's face was pale, and he walked out of the door again, with large wrinkles and dark spots on his face, full of decay.
"Within ten days, the lady should be fine."
After saying this, Mr. Gu, who is known for his medical skills, was supported and left.
He has tried his best, and even lost for it, at least hundreds of years of life.
It would take hundreds of years to save ten days of life, if not for the strength and status of the City Lord's Mansion, it would be absolutely impossible.
Lei Qianjun stood up expressionlessly, waved away all the maids, and stood in front of the bed. Looking at his daughter's pale face, he frowned little by little, like a folded mountain, showing endless heaviness.
After a long time, he exhaled and said softly, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, Dad won't let you go, I can definitely save you."
Turning around and going out, he glanced at the housekeeper who was still crying blood at the moment, "Send the letter to the Lord of Thirteen Cities, who can save Xiaoyu's life, Pengcheng is willing to show enough sincerity."
The housekeeper turned to leave, and after a while, the news spread all over the place, and all the thirteen city masters in the territory of Pengcheng received the message.
Some are worried, some are happy, and some are eager to try. But no matter what the real thoughts were, not long after receiving the letter from Pengcheng, each of the thirteen cities had a team of men with heavy faces, and rushed to Pengcheng at the fastest speed.
In the Jiaolong chariot, Wu Zucheng frowned slightly, and countless thoughts swirled in his mind. He had already determined that the assassination of Lei Xiaoyu was not Pengcheng's trap.
Who did this thing
The other party must be aware of something, otherwise they will not use Lei Xiaoyu as a breakthrough.
After all, no matter how noble her status is, she is only a daughter, and she is far from qualified to become the new ruler of Pengcheng.
This passive situation, the feeling that everything is out of control, he is very disgusted.
Standing opposite Shu Hang, after a little hesitation, he slowly said: "Patriarch, no matter what the purpose of the secret shot is, we need to prepare in advance."
Wu Zucheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, "I know it."
If Lei Xiaoyu really died, time would be very tight, but fortunately they were not prepared, and Pengcheng was also caught off guard.
It's just that there is another power in the dark, and you must be more cautious, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be calculated.
Soon, Pengcheng was in sight. After confirming his identity in advance, Jiao Longluan flew directly outside the city lord's mansion without stopping.
"See Patriarch Wu, Lord City Lord is already waiting, please come with me." A master of the Lei family saluted, turned around and hurriedly led the way.
When Wu Zucheng arrived, more than half of the thirteen families had come to speak. Now is not the time to talk more. After a little greeting, they each sat down.
It's just that between the eyes of each other, it is indispensable to look at it. Although I don't know who is behind the scenes to assassinate the city lord's daughter, I want to come and be inseparable from everyone present.
While each was thinking about it, time passed for a while, and all the thirteen families gathered together.
"The city owner is here!"
Everyone stood up one after another, saluting solemnly, "Meet the city lord."
Lei Qianjun's demeanor was calm, "It's a bit rude to bother my colleagues to come here today because of the little girl alone. After this incident, Lei will definitely find an opportunity to express his apologies to all of you."
"The city owner is serious."
"I've watched Xiaoyu grow up since I was a child, and I'm considered her elder. Even if the city lord does not call, I will come to visit now."
"When something like this happens, my heart is full of anger, and I will do my best to assist the city lord and find the real murderer behind the scenes!"
In the face of everyone's statement, Lei Qianjun slightly foreheaded, "My colleagues are interested, it will not be too late to hunt down the murderer. Now that the little girl is in critical condition, Lei will not make more detours."
His eyes swept over the people present, "Mr. Gu Yanyuan's action has temporarily stabilized Xiaoyu's situation. I wonder which of my colleagues can help the little girl again? As said in the previous letter, Lei is willing to pay enough The reward will not disappoint you."
Everyone was already prepared, and Lei Qianjun had said this, how could he refuse. Entering the rooms one by one, the length of stay was different, and no one said much, but when they returned to the outer hall, everyone's faces were very solemn.
Lei Xiaoyu's problem is really serious. It can be said that if it wasn't for Lei Qianjun's forcible force and Gu Yanyuan's loss of life, she might have died.
Today, he is just barely holding his breath, and he will die at any time.
Lei Qianjun said slowly: "That's the situation, everyone has seen it, but what can be done?"
Everyone was silent, all frowning, unwilling to say more at this moment.
If anything else could gain Lei Qianjun's favor, they naturally wouldn't mind trying.
But now his life is at stake, and it involves his favorite little daughter. If he accidentally helps this girl take her last breath, it will be a lot of fun.
Lei Qianjun's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, Wu Zucheng's heart was slightly stern, and the next moment his voice sounded, "Brother Wu, your Wu family has a long tradition, and your ancestors have given birth to many strong people, and the background is deeper than that of my Pengcheng. There is a way?"
What does it mean? What did Lei Qianjun find? Or, he is deliberately tempting, how should I respond
Wu Zucheng's thoughts turned rapidly, and his mind was already tense. He knew very well how violent the person in front of him was.
At this time, he asked calmly, but maybe the next moment, he will violently shoot to kill... Similar things have been rare in these years, but in the early days of Pengcheng's status, it happened many times.
In the breath, Wu Zucheng made a decision, he exhaled and said slowly: "City Lord, an old ancestor of the Wu family in the early years, brought out a treasure from Tianjueyuan, and sat down soon after, perhaps temporarily relieve Xiaoyu. injury."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways, and there was a lot of surprise. What a shrewd person Wu Zucheng actually made a foolish move? Could it be that he doesn't know, no matter whether today's events are related to him or not, as long as he says this sentence, he will definitely be suspected? Being missed by Lei Qianjun... Even with their identities and status, they will feel like a light on their backs!
Lei Qianjun took a deep breath, "Brother Wu, if you want to save the little girl with a treasure, you can ask for anything."
Wu Zucheng pondered a little and said, "I heard that there is a Heavenly Remnant Sword in the secret vault of the city master, I don't know if it is true or not?"
hiss-
Everyone gasped for a while, and they wanted to be bad. Today's situation, no matter how you look at it, it is the rhythm of a major event!
Who doesn't know that your martial family has collected Heavenly Remnant Swords from generation to generation, and now you are only short of the last one, and you can collect them all.
The city owner collected this item in order to suppress the martial arts family and limit their strength, but now they actually ask for it in person... Anyone would think that it was your martial arts family who shot Lei Xiaoyu, so that they could take the opportunity to blackmail them.
Hmm... No, if it was a Wu family, things wouldn't be so rough. Could it be that Wu Zucheng used this method to tell Lei Qianjun that this matter had nothing to do with them
The more everyone thought about it, the more likely it was, and they scolded one after another, Wu Zucheng, this guy is really scheming.
No matter how favored Lei Xiaoyu is, she is just a daughter, not to mention that she has no value, but it is obviously not on the same order of magnitude as the restricted martial arts family. You must know that the complete Heavenly Remnant Sword is completely different from the state of missing one.
No one thought that Lei Qianjun would give the Wu family a chance to become stronger for the sake of his daughter.
But the development of the matter exceeded everyone's expectations. Lei Qianjun just pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "The Heavenly Remnant Sword is indeed in the secret vault of Pengcheng, and Lei ordered someone to fetch it immediately."
At this moment, not to mention other people, even Wu Zucheng, who made a request from the opposite side, all subconsciously stayed for a second, almost suspecting that he had hallucinated.
Lei Qianjun agreed? He actually agreed? Is he crazy? Or has the world changed
It was not until the housekeeper personally handed over the sword box containing the Heavenly Remnant Sword into his hands that Wu Zucheng was sure that all this was true.
There is no need to open it. With the induction between the air machines, he can be sure that the sword box contains the Heavenly Remnant Sword—the last Heavenly Remnant Sword that the Wu family has tried every means for nearly a thousand years to find it hard!
At this moment, Wu Zucheng was out of his mind, and then considered Lei Qianjun's motives. He took a deep breath and felt agitated. He clenched the sword case with both hands, and said solemnly: "The treasure is placed in the Wu family's ancestral treasury, and I can only open it if I come in person. , the city owner can rest assured that the Wu family will definitely deliver it tomorrow morning at the latest."
This is his last temptation.
Lei Qianjun nodded in agreement.
Jiao Longluan drove away from Pengcheng, and the process went smoothly without any accident. Only at this moment did Wu Zucheng really breathe a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and looked at the sword box, revealing endless heat.
On the opposite side, Shu Hang bowed and saluted, "Congratulations to the Patriarch, Hexi Patriarch, you have finally obtained the last Heavenly Remnant Sword, which will definitely break through the realm and become a party's overlord!"
"Hahahaha!" Wu Zucheng laughed on his face, "I just wanted to take this opportunity to test Lei Qianjun, but I didn't expect such a harvest, it is God who helped me!"
At this point, even if Pengcheng repented, it would be impossible to catch up with them.
At this point, the Heavenly Remnant Sword in his hand has truly become a thing of the martial family!
