From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 144

The battle was won miraculously, and everyone was filled with joy, but they forgot that the greatest hero had disappeared overnight.

Even Zhao Jianjia didn't think of Zhou Yuan. She had been cooperating with Chu Wanping to settle the people and enjoyed it.

She had been very self-abased recently, thinking that she was useless, but her hard work last night made her receive unanimous praise from the people, which made her extremely excited and had a kind of noble joy.

However, now someone told her that her husband was missing.

Zhao Jianjia panicked and said quickly: "Have you looked for him? Have you looked for him? Where did he go?"

Xiong Kuohai smiled bitterly and said: "We have looked for him. We have searched all over Kuixingfang and Lin'an Prefecture. We have sent out several thousand people and dug deep into the ground. But we can't find him!"

Qu Ling said: "I have already informed the noble families and they are helping to look for him. Even the tenants outside the city are helping to look for him. We really can't find him!"

Zhao Jianjia's face turned pale and she murmured: "He, he may have had an accident..."

"Xiaoying! Where is Xiaoying!"

Ye Qingying suddenly shouted: "Where is Xiaoying! I asked her to protect Zhou Yuan last night!"

"I... I am..."

Xiaoying huddled in the corner, hugging her knees with both hands, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was covered with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

Zhuang Xuansu hurriedly asked, "Xiaoying, what's wrong with you? You know where Zhou Yuan is, right?"

Xiaoying pursed her lips, and before she could speak, tears started to flow again.

She whispered, "I'm sorry... I... I couldn't beat her, and I couldn't save Brother Zhou Yuan."

Zhao Jianjia's face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "Who is she? Did she take my husband away?"

"I... I don't know her!"

Xiaoying covered her face and cried, "She was wearing a mask, a golden mask, and I went to save Brother Zhou Yuan, but she knocked me out with a palm."

"What!"

Zhuang Xuansu hurried over and took a closer look. He saw that Xiaoying's chest was covered with blood, and it had already solidified.

The girl was pale, and I was afraid that she was seriously injured.

Zhuang Xuansu felt extremely distressed and hurriedly said, "Silly child, treat your wounds quickly. It's not your fault. It's normal that you can't beat her."

Xiaoying still had a pouty mouth, her face was numb, and she kept crying. She choked and said, "I couldn't save Brother Zhou Yuan, I couldn't save my grandmother, and I couldn't save my parents..."

These words made everyone's noses sour.

Zhuang Xuansu quickly hugged Xiaoying in his arms and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. Your brother Zhou Yuan is a lucky man. He will be fine."

Until this time, Xiaoying burst into tears, as if she had someone to rely on. She hugged Zhuang Xuansu and cried: "She is too strong. She is not afraid of poisonous insects or poisons. I... I can't do anything to her."

"Okay, okay, don't blame your Xiaoying. You have done a good job."

Zhuang Xuansu touched her head, then looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Wearing a golden mask, ignoring Xiaoying's poisonous insects and poisons, and knocking her out with one palm."

"Under the whole world, only the leader of the Wusheng Sect, the Wusheng Holy Mother, can do this."

Ye Qingying's face changed drastically, and she quickly said: "I will go to the master! She may have a way!"

Without any hesitation, she rushed to the backyard at the fastest speed and shouted.

In the main hall, everyone was struck by lightning, and their faces turned pale.

The Holy Mother of No Birth, this is a name known to everyone, the existence that can stop babies from crying at night.

If Zhou Yuan falls into her hands, he is afraid that he will be in danger.

"Sister Jianjia!"

Xue Ningyue suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly supported Zhao Jianjia, whose body was shaky.

Zhao Jianjia's face was already full of tears, and her lips were pale.

She trembled and said, "I killed him, I killed him, he was not an official, he should have lived well in Yunzhou."

Xue Ningyue's eyes were also filled with tears, and she choked and said, "Sister Jianjia, how can you be blamed for this? All this is Brother Zhou's own choice!"

Zhao Jianjia shook her head with tears, her face full of sorrow, and said in despair, "Ningyue, I am not as good as you. If I had half of your caring and gentleness, my husband would be much happier."

The essence of things is always revealed when they leave.

Until this moment, Zhao Jianjia clearly felt the feeling of heartbreak, and then she realized how wise it was for Zhou Yuan to insist on a leisurely life.

Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and no matter how much regret she has, it is meaningless.

Zhuang Xuansu's face was also full of despair. His Majesty finally got a genius, but he was going to be harmed by the leader of the rebels!

"Stop arguing!"

With Ye Qingying's shout, many people woke up from their dreams.

I saw a female Taoist priest floating in. She was born with incomparable beauty, but she also had a Taoist charm that floated out of the world.

She sighed slowly: "Don't be impatient, I already know the whereabouts of Yuan Yizi,Whether it is life or death, I will go and find it now. "

After saying this, she rose from the ground, as light as a fallen leaf, and flew straight out of the city.

...

After a night of blood and fire, Zhou Yuan, who was exhausted, felt extremely calm here.

Listening to the Zen chanting around him, he stretched his body and said, "I am a little hungry, would you like to eat something, Saint Mother?"

This is a Zen room with a Buddha statue, a table and two cushions.

There is also a table and chairs placed in front of the window, and the sunlight shines in, but it seems even more quiet.

The Saint Mother of No Life is still wearing a mask, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, silently chanting scriptures.

Zhou Yuan said: "Saint Mother, you and Master are twin sisters, and you have a master, so you should be a Taoist disciple. Why do you come to Lingyin Temple to chant Buddhist scriptures!"

"By the way, Saint Mother, may I ask how old you are this year? As a monk, are you still unmarried? ”

The Holy Mother Wusheng finally couldn't help but stood up and said coldly: "Shut up! Aren't you tired of talking all night!"

Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said: "Sister Holy Mother, you finally paid attention to me. You said I can reverse the situation, so you let me go, or even marry me."

"I am a toad who dares not eat swan meat. Besides, I have a wife. I don't expect you to marry me, but please let me go!"

"Now Lin'an Prefecture has been recovered. If Han Tuo is lucky, he can escape, but he is also a drowned dog and can't make any progress."

"This world is still the world of the Great Jin Dynasty after all. Killing me, a small centurion, won't change anything."

"Besides, I am still your nephew!"

The Holy Mother Wusheng laughed and squinted: "You are too naive. How can a traitor like me keep my word? Going back on my words is my nature. ”

“You almost ruined my plan by yourself. I can’t torture you no matter how hard I try, right?”

Zhou Yuan’s face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: “Sister Saint, I want to tell you a few sincere words.”

“Heh! Fresh!”

The Saint of No Life said: “What sincere words can we have!”

Zhou Yuan said: “Sister Saint founded the No Life Religion, there must be a purpose, right? Tell me, I will think of a way for my good sister!”

The Saint of No Life felt a chill, and felt goose bumps all over her body. She immediately said: “Don’t call me that, it’s so ugly!”

“But what you said reminded me that you are still a talent after all. Staying in the Saint Religion to help me do things is indeed a good choice.”

She tilted her head and smiled: “What do you think of the development of the No Life Religion?”

Zhou Yuan said: “How far does Sister Saint want to develop?”

The Saint of No Life said: “Of course, it is to bring disaster to the country and the people, and to usurp power. "

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "It can't be done. Wusheng Sect does not have a political foundation. At best, it can only achieve the level of the Central Plains bandits. Although it can rule one side, it can't achieve anything big. It will be destroyed sooner or later."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and asked in confusion: "Strange, what is the identity of the Holy Mother Sister? Why do you want to usurp power? Are you a member of the Chen royal family?"

The Holy Mother of Wusheng snorted coldly: "If I were a member of the Chen royal family, would it be the turn of that demon concubine to be the emperor?"

Zhou Yuan said: "If it's not a royal family, then it's a commoner. Logically speaking, commoners shouldn't have such thoughts."

He looked at the Holy Mother of Wusheng and said: "What is the goal of the Holy Mother Sister? I always feel that you are not telling the truth. Do you really not want to say it and listen to my opinion?"

This sentence silenced the Holy Mother of Wusheng.
