Yuan Mao woke up and found that he fell on Hu Guiyang's back again, and was tied up by chains. He enjoyed the treatment of Shi Guida before. In a rage, he was so angry that he was about to faint. He cursed, and became more and more excited.

Hu Guiyang ignored him, Xiaocao couldn't stand it, so he caught up and said, "If you don't shut up, I'll pinch your nose."

Yuan Mao was a little scared, shut up and remained silent for a while, and when he spoke, he changed to persuasion. It was still a once-in-a-lifetime routine. Hu Guiyang still ignored it and only cared about walking.

Seeing that there were many horses tied under the tree in front, Hu Guiyang cheered, "It's really a life-saving. I must be exhausted to carry this guy to the city."

Yuan Mao faced back and said, suddenly noticed smoke and dust rolling in the distance, "That's... the refugees and the officers and soldiers are about to fight."

Hu Guiyang put down Yuan Mao, "You are finally a little sober and go and lead three horses."

Yuan Mao got rid of the chains, looked at Hu Guiyang, looked at the dark crowd that was not too far away, and then looked at the smoke and dust that was farther away, and asked, "Are we going to another pill hole?"

"Well, if I guess correctly, Fan Dajian can only be found near the Dan acupoint."

The village has no danger to be found, and it is likely to be lost. Although Yuan Mao was greedy for the pill hole, he was not so confused and ran to the tree to lead the horse.

Xiaocao put away the chain gun and asked with concern: "Have you lost your skills again?"

Hu Guiyang nodded. This time he lost faster this time. Before he could run far, he was already panting. At the same time, he felt more and more missed the feeling of absorbing the essence of the Dan acupoint. It seemed that he could never breathe freely if he didn't go back.

"You hit me again." Hu Guiyang thought this might be useful.

"Hey, I'll slap? I'll just pinch my nose."

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Pinching my nose can't make me awake. Just beat me, don't leave..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiaocao jumped up and slapped her. She really tried hard. She had practiced the Fire God Art for a while and had never taken the Golden Pill. However, since she was a primary school martial arts, she was much more powerful than that of an ordinary boy, and she showed no mercy at all.

Hu Guiyang was slapped with Venus, and he really wanted to fight back with one punch and one kick. With such anger in his heart, his nostalgia for the Dan acupoint was indeed reduced a little.

Xiaocao took two steps back, "You asked me to hit me, don't look at me with this kind of eyes."

Hu Guiyang squeezed out a smile, "I will still use such force when I ask you to hit you again in the future."

“On call.”

Yuan Mao came back with his horse, and bypassed the grass in horror, handed the reins of the two horses to Hu Guiyang, leaving one by himself.

Hu Guiyang divided a horse to Xiaocao, and the three of them got on the horse, looking north at the same time. A large number of knights were revealed in the smoke and dust. The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and the ground trembled slightly. The crowd around the village temple was still unmoved, and no one ran out.

"They are really crazy, are they waiting to die?" Yuan Mao couldn't help panic. He knew that if Hu Guiyang hadn't forced him out, he would have stayed there and would rather die.

"They may not be able to fight, let's go." Hu Guiyang turned his horse's head and ran to Yunyang City in the south along the official road.

The outposts on the road were no longer guarded, and the villages and towns were empty. The livestock of each family was not taken away. They were happy and chewed leisurely. They occasionally whistled a few times, as if they were asking each other about the situation.

"It seems that the Dan acupoint in the city was not kept." Hu Guiyang sighed softly.

Yuan Mao was impatient, "There are officers and soldiers in the city to guard it, and the refugees cannot attack for a while, so we can..."

"You have to join in the fun?"

"This is not joining in the fun, this is... Hu Guiyang, I know you don't believe me now, but every word I say comes from the heart: if you miss the Dan acupoint, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"What are you going to do when you learn a magical skill? You must know that you are not the only one. There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people in Yunyang Prefecture as powerful as you."

"These and 20,000 people live above millions of people. All the heroes in the world are born, and they may stand up on their own, travel around the world, or serve the court. No matter what they do, they will be among the people."

"And you?"

"Of course, it is to serve the court, make achievements, and gain fame." Yuan Mao's ambitions did not change.

"Then you go to see the factory. Others are busy absorbing the essence of the Dan acupoint. If you rush to report the factory to the factory, you will have to trust it. When you bring the factory back, you will not delay anything."

"But I suck one or two less than others..."

"Can the most capable person be a high-ranking official?"

Yuan Mao was stunned. He served Yuan Bin for many years and had seen countless reasonable and unreasonable things. When it comes to official rules, ability is of course important, but not the only important one.

"Where is the factory?"

"He came to Yunyang Mansion by land, and tomorrow morning, he would definitely arrive. You will follow the road we came here, and you should see people soon."

"What did I say after meeting?"

"Tell everything you know, don't hide it. Anyway, someone will tell him sooner or later, whoever says first will make contributions."

While talking, the three of them could see the city wall and welcome the factory to go east without entering the city.

Yuan Mao hesitated for a while, "You didn't lie to me?"

"There are more than twenty days left before July 15th, and it only takes one or two days to welcome the factory. What's the use of lying to you? Besides, you are not my own son. If you only want to absorb the essence of the elixir, you will follow you. I will no longer stop you, let alone force you away."

Yuan Mao's face turned slightly red, "I've said something... before, not my intention. I'm giving me another chance. I'm still willing to follow you, not Shi Guida. I've seen such people too many times. They seem generous, but in fact they keep every gift in their hearts, and sooner or later they will get it back."

"Get out quickly, keep these stingy words and say to the factory." Hu Guiyang did not appreciate it at all.

Yuan Mao had already understood Hu Guiyang's temper and didn't care. He nodded, turned the path eastward, and then walked on the official road after passing around the city.

"Can this make him not want the Dan acupoint?" Xiaocao asked.

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "The Dan acupoint stimulates greed. I will use greater greed to lead him away. Whether he can successfully depend on his fortune. I can only do this, and I can't tie him all the way. In that case, he will hate me after returning to the capital."

"This is a solution. What is your greater greed?"

"sleep."

"sleep?"

"Well, lie in a comfortable bed and want your own bed. Don't worry about being driven away or being woken up. Go to bed early and sleep until dawn. If you open your eyes, if you are not too hungry, you will sleep again and wake up at noon."

Xiaocao thought for a while, "If we live together, I will definitely call you up before dawn."

"Haha." Hu Guiyang wanted to make a few jokes, but he swallowed them back when he was at his mouth. Xiaocao was innocent and had no deep meaning in his words. He should not be ridiculed. "We don't go into the city, we go around the south, where there are two elixir holes."

The grass was irresistible and followed Hu Guiyang. The two walked along the moat. The canal was dug shortly after it was dug, but there was no water storage. There were several incomplete sections of the city wall on the other side. The civilians disappeared. The officers and soldiers stood in some places, but they were not very careful and turned a blind eye to the knights running under the city.

If the mountain people attacked today, Yunyang City might not be able to defend it.

Hu Guiyang didn't worry about this, and bypassed the city and headed straight to Xiaogui Island in the southwest.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding Xiaogui Island had a melee. They had not used swords and guns yet. They were mainly quarrels. Sometimes, some people were wielding fists, and they were all arguing about one thing: should the alchemy hole be opened so that everyone could absorb it at will.

Each party has extremely good reasons.

Hu Guiyang asked Xiaocao to lead the horse outside, and he squeezed into the crowd to find Fan Dajian's whereabouts.

He believed that Fan Dajian claimed that he came to find He Baiwan's body was just an excuse, and he must be looking for opportunities near the Dan Cave. He was not in the north, but in the south.

After a walk around, he did not find Fan Dajian, but met Zhao Aqi and Wen Kuyu. The two of them did not rely on their martial arts to seize the alchemy hole, and they actually talked freely, trying to convince the guards, and the effect was good, and a large group of people who expressed their approval were followed behind them.

"If you want to guard the Dan acupoint, you must first have the ability to guard it. Without the help of the Dan acupoint, you are vulnerable..." Zhao Aqi splashed with spitting stars and did not notice Hu Guiyang at all.

Hu Guiyang didn't want to participate, so he squeezed out and suddenly got grabbed by someone's arm.

Li Ban blocked his forehead and sweated, "We sent people to the city to find Shi School Captain in the north, but none of them came back. It is said that the Dan Cave in the north was occupied by rebels, and all the officers and soldiers were captured. Is that true?"

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Didn't I come from there? Have you ever seen the old Taoist Fan Dajian?"

Li Bantu shook his head, he really didn't know, "It's going to be out of control here, what's going on? It's still fine in the first half of the night, but people's hearts start to sway in the second half of the night. After dawn, a few messages came, everyone...ah."

"Don't you want to absorb the essence of the Dan acupoint?"

Li Bandu looked at Xiaodao, his face changed slightly, "I am ordered to act, but there is no order from the superior..."

"You go with me."

"Follow you? No, I..."

Hu Guiyang flipped his hand and grabbed Li Bantu's wrist and pulled it out of the crowd, "Shi Guida is the captain of Jinyi, so is me. If you can listen to his orders, you can listen to my orders."

"It really doesn't work..."

"If you stay here, you must be responsible for everything that happens here. Following me is at most a dereliction of duty, and you can also put the blame on me."

"This..." Li Ban was moved, especially concerned about ruling responsibility.

Hu Guiyang pulled Li Ban out and said, "Look, the situation is over."

A large number of officers and soldiers gathered at Zhao Aqi. Behind Wen Kuyu, there was only one last layer of officers and soldiers guarding the island, retreating step by step, becoming less and less determined.

Li Bandu sighed, "Where is Captain Hu going?"

"This place is about to fall, go to the east to take a look." Hu Guiyang waved to Xiaocao.

"I'll go find a horse." Li Bantu ran away in a hurry.

"That's not Mr. Fan." Xiaocao said in surprise.

"There are ones that count as one, and you can take away everything you can."

"You can really meddle in other people's business."

Hu Guiyang smiled, jumped onto the horse, shouting to the crowd: "Zhao Aqi, the people in the north have begun to absorb the essence, and a large number of masters have appeared, all of them are better than you!"

Before Zhao Aqi could react, Hu Guiyang slapped his horse and Li Bantu caught up from behind and sighed all the way.

The two dan acupoints between the east and west are not too far apart. Hu Guiyang did not walk the road, but walked east along the river, climbed several slopes in succession, and arrived at the location soon.

The southeast Dan acupoint is located in a small hill. It is already high. After a long period of bulging, it looks like an emperor's tomb. The red light in the middle soars into the sky and can be seen from afar.

"I'll come one step later." Hu Guiyang sighed. The officers and soldiers here were more anxious than Xiaogui Island. "I'll go in and find someone, you'll wait here."
