My Attributes Cultivation Life

Chapter 249: Chapter 249

"Old man? What old man? Where's the greeting card?" Zhang Rongfang restrained his thoughts and looked at the old Taoist.

These old Taoists are wandering Taoist priests who have been recently recruited to do odd jobs in the temple.

Although they are just traveling, they still know a little of the basic Taoist classics. With a little training, it can also be used to trick pilgrims into raising money for donations.

"Here." The old Taoist presented the invitation with both hands.

Chen Han stepped forward to take it, unfolded it, smelled it, touched the paper, and made sure it was all right, before handing it over to Zhang Rongfang.

After receiving the card, Zhang Rongfang glanced at the handwriting on it.

"Tan Yang's family? Sun Qinghong? Sun Chaoyue's father?" He immediately recalled the President Sun Chaoyue whom he met a few days ago.

That dignified and spiritual woman who was as proud as a red rose.

It was mentioned in the greeting card that if he agreed, Sun Qinghong would come to visit him in person at 4:00 pm tomorrow.

"Daozi, should you go down?" The old Taoist asked in a low voice, "The person who asked for the post is still waiting outside."

Zhang Rongfang shook his head.

"Although I'm an old friend, Tan Yang's Sun family is worthless to me. It's a waste of time to see him. Go back."

Sun Chaoyue didn't know him very well, so he was just saying hello at first, but he didn't expect the family to climb up like a snake.

In addition, Sun Chaoyue's father, as he remembered, seemed to be the Governor of the Ninth Rank Mansion.

Once upon a time, Jiupin was an unattainable top master in his eyes.

But now. That's all.

in his position.

Jiupin is not even qualified to be his guard.

Below the ninth rank and above the ninth rank, there are already two worlds.

Inside a post station on the outer ring of Erythrina.

Two strong men and women wearing black gauze hats and dark green outfits entered the post station with a knife in their hands and checked in.

The postman led the two of them up to the second floor, and opened the door to a large room in the corner.

As soon as the two entered the door, they closed it with their backhands, and then quickly checked the surrounding environment.

After confirming that there was no problem, the two came to the table.

The woman took out a large picture scroll more than one meter long from her back, unfolded the picture scroll, and painted three wanted heads on it.

"My lord, this subordinate has just received news from the yamen. Someone seems to have quietly reported to the yamen. Report the whereabouts of Sun Qinghong's fugitive."

She pointed to one of the portraits.

"Good guy, this family can really escape." The other man looked at the portrait on the table in surprise.

"If that's the case, then we'll come and arrest him tomorrow." The man said seriously.

"I'm afraid it won't work." The woman shook her head, "Although the Sun family is in a poor state, according to the information I have received, the Sun family seems to have something to do with the newly appointed Shoujiao."

"Hiss Zhang Ying Zhang Shoujiao?!" The man gasped.

"Exactly." The woman nodded.

"That's really troublesome. How did you get the news?" the man asked quickly.

"The comrades here saw it by the way when they were taking care of the important people. The Zhang guard was on the street and took the initiative to talk to the people of the Sun family.

They made a note of it and gave me here ahead of time. "The woman replied.

"This is troublesome." The man frowned.

His name is Xue Zicun. Born in Xuehong Pavilion.

But unlike many other Xuehong Pavilion masters, he is not engaged in protection work.

Instead, they are chasing.

Hunt down the most wanted criminals on the list from all over the world.

But even if he didn't do protection work, he had heard about the previous incident.

"Zhang Ying, Zhang Shoujiao, Daoist Taoist. This person is no ordinary person.

Many people were implicated in the disappearance of Princess Yongxiang before, but he, Zaitong, was fine.

Not only was he okay, he was even promoted because of this, and from his previous deputy position, he had mastered the power of the principal position in disguise. "

After a pause, Xue Zicun shook his head.

"This kind of big man who can't even be implicated in the disappearance of the princess, if there is really a relationship with the Sun family, then"

"My lord, why don't we wait a little longer? Find out whether the Sun family has anything to do with this Daoist. If it doesn't matter, then arrest him directly. If there is, let's wait and see.

Anyway, Sun Qinghong was also severely injured by us last time, so she couldn't go anywhere. "The woman replied quickly.

"That's fine too." Xue Zicun nodded.

Erythrina's largest medicine store - Mingjing.

Outside the gate, many sailors were carefully pushing the cart with a trailer, carrying a large number of sacks of medicinal materials to transport out.

Pharmacy stores specializing in retail.

Sun Chaoyue was sweating profusely and had just finished practicing martial arts and came here to buy the medicine her father needed.

She was wearing extremely short gray and white short-sleeved shorts, exposing her fair thighs and arms, and she was wearing a slim dark green windbreaker, covering most of the exposed skin.

Martial arts practice requires loose and less restrictive clothing, so she generally likes to wear very little to prevent sweat from soaking the clothing and making it uncomfortable to stick to her body.

But in this way, the attire for practicing martial arts alone is too revealing, and the short-sleeved shorts can barely cover three vital points.

So in order to prevent getting naked, she added a windbreaker.

Such outfits are very common among female warriors.

Windbreakers are generally used to block cold and wind evil from entering the body after sweating.

Sun Chaoyue calculated the remaining money in the purse.

After almost falling into the predicament that I couldn't even afford juice.

After all, she went back and returned the hairpin she bought for her birthday.

Now as a black household, I can't work to make money, so I can only sit and eat. She had to save as much as possible.

It's just that the hairpin is only two taels of silver compared to when I was in Tan Yang.

At that time, she even used hundreds of taels of incense at will.

Now it's my birthday, but I don't even have hair accessories of two taels of silver.

The huge gap made Sun Chaoyue's heart ache.

"Miss Xiaoyue, are you here to buy the medicine from last time again? It's all ready for you."

The voice of the pharmacist brought her back from her mind to reality.

Cleaning up her mood, Sun Chaoyue nodded.

"Well, I want three pairs this time." She took out the purse, counted twenty taels of silver from it, put it on the counter, and pushed it over.

Father's injury was troublesome. If he was injured before, if he could take the medicine quickly at that time, it would not be so difficult.

The point is that at that time, in order to avoid subsequent pursuit and killing, his father hid in the quagmire with his breath held.

result in wound infection

Later, he held on to his body and fled with a group of people for several days, which finally caused the root of the disease to go deep into the internal organs.

Sun Chaoyue watched the money being picked up by the waiter, and weighed it with a small balance. Then he began to stack three packs of medicinal materials wrapped in yellow paper in front of her.

This is the last bit of silver

In fact, their family had run out of money a long time ago. If it wasn't for the funding from the gangster who tried to moles her, she wouldn't even be able to pay for the medicine this time.

And what made things worse recently was that the security of the entire Zaitong Port suddenly became unreliable, and the doors were never closed at night.

There are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere on the street.

Not to mention punks, not even a drunk who fell to the ground.

The sailors who drink and make trouble on weekdays have also disappeared during this time.

Occasionally, one was dragged away and whipped immediately.

This level of law and order cut off even Sun Chaoyue's last source of additional income.

Picking up the medicine bag, she sighed softly, turned around and left.

"Huh? We met again?"

Inside the shop, the short and fat shopkeeper was slowly approaching with a few people, accompanied by a tall and burly man.

The man glanced over here, showing surprise.

Sun Chaoyue also didn't expect that, not long after, they happened to meet again.

"Zhang Ying?" She recognized the man.

"Are you here to buy medicine too?" She didn't know what to say.

Instinctively, she tightened the windbreaker on her body to cover the exposed corset.

It seemed that such a move could ease the tension in her heart a little.

"Hmm. Is there something wrong with your family? Do you need help? I happen to have some spare energy here." Zhang Rongfang glanced at Sun Chaoyue's attire.

A linen windbreaker worth a few hundred pennies is so plain that there is only one wooden hairpin and long black hair.

Under the feet are some old sheepskin boots with yellowed edges. Looking up from the boot, the inner sock is also slightly torn at the edge.

Combined with the previous greeting post from the Sun family Sun Qinghong, Zhang Rongfang instantly had an association in his mind.

He also never expected that Sun Chaoyue, the eldest Miss Tan Yang, would end up in such a situation.

At first, I thought that even if the Sun family was weaker, they were still spiritual nobles and martial arts, so they wouldn't be so bad.

But now it seems... It seems that he misunderstood.

Zhang Rongfang changed his mind, he never thought that Sun Chaoyue would be like this.

Thinking about getting acquainted somehow, it is also because Li Huoyun has some connections, so it is okay if he can help by the way.

He thought so, and he did so.

As long as it is not too annoying, many things are just a word to him now.

Sun Chaoyue gritted her teeth lightly.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

Lifting her pretty face, she showed a natural smile.

"I just came back from practicing martial arts, and I casually wear old things from the past, which can be regarded as waste.

It is true that we have encountered some difficulties recently, but my Sun family is not reduced to accepting charity from others. "

She looked at Zhang Rongfang with the last hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness. Speaking of it, you don't think that I am a fourth-rank martial artist, and I can't even earn a good outfit?"

"Really? That's good. That's true. With President Sun's talent, it's really not possible. I made a slip of the tongue." Zhang Rongfang nodded.

"It's okay, you are also kind. Then I will go first." Sun Chaoyue smiled back.

The Sun family was implicated in secret sects, such troubles are also very implicated for ordinary people.

Although she was grateful to Zhang Ying for her kindness, she was unwilling to implicate others because of her own affairs.

She didn't know what Zhang Ying was like now, but no matter what his identity was, once he was involved in secret religion, he would definitely be in trouble.

At the beginning, Sun Jiagui was the governor of the government, but in the end it was different.

Thinking of this, Sun Chaoyue walked out of the pharmacy quickly without turning her head. She walked faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the crowd without seeing her.

Zhang Rongfang withdrew his gaze, and continued to ask the pharmacy shopkeeper for the medicinal materials he needed.

The previous Bigu pills were used up, and he needed to buy new raw materials and refine another batch.

As for Sun Chaoyue, it was indeed just a chance encounter.

He wanted to speak out to help, but it was just a momentary feeling, and it was rare to meet fellow Tan Yang in Zaitong.

Since people don't need it, he wouldn't take the initiative to join in.

The matter was quickly forgotten by him.

laugh.

At night, the oil lamp flicked slightly, causing some water to boil.

Sun Qinghong coughed twice and rubbed her stomach after drinking the medicine.

The wounds on the back and abdomen, as the effect of the medicine gradually took effect, the pain gradually subsided.

The words of Tong Haocun, the head of the Tong family, are still echoing in his mind.

The Sun family is really at the end of its rope now

actually.

He has always been suspicious.

The Tong family was involved in the ship owner fraud case back then.

His money and jewelry, his savings for so many years, disappeared overnight.

It's just that there is no evidence, and it's hard for him to say anything. I dare not say anything.

But Tong Haocun mentioned before that the pursuers of Xuehong Pavilion have already arrived in Zaitong, and they may come to him at any time.

Those damn spirit guards were the murderers who left him with such serious injuries.

If they find out where he is hiding. I'm afraid.
