Chapter 102 Explosive Kill! Imperial Rewards [4k Chapter]

Zhou Linghe looked at this family.

He couldn't speak.

His hand gripped the sword at his waist tightly.

He was silent for a long time.

Then he said in a low voice, "Come with me."

The Master of Medicine.

backyard.

Zhou Linghe pushed open the door and stepped aside.

Zhao Huaili and his family filed in.

Then, they were all stunned.

There was a person lying on the bed.

His entire body was black, his face was ashen, and dark bloodstains remained around his seven orifices.

He lay there quietly, motionless, his chest barely rising and falling.

"Snap!"

Cheng Lingqiao swayed and had to grab the door frame to steady herself.

Zhao Huaili's mouth was agape, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

Zhao's bellyful of shrewish words were all stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

The entire room was deathly silent.

a long time.

Cheng Lingqiao released her grip on the door frame and walked step by step to the bedside.

She lowered her head and looked at her brother's darkened face for a very long time.

Then, she reached out and tried to touch his face.

My hand was shaking so badly in mid-air that I couldn't bring it down.

"Lai Yun—" She opened her mouth, looked up at the room full of strangers, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "How—how did he become like this—"

Before she could finish speaking, tears started streaming down her face.

Zhao Huaili walked over, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, his eyes red, and couldn't say a word.

Cheng Laiyun was nominally his brother-in-law.

But it's almost no different from the children he watched grow up.

"It's only been ten days since we last met—" Zhao Huaili's throat felt like it had been scalded, his voice dry and hoarse.

Zhou Linghe stood at the door, watching this scene, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Little Tiger understood.

He didn't cry.

He simply walked step by step to the bedside, staring at his uncle's darkened face for a very long time.

Then, he turned around and knelt down in front of Zhou Linghe with a thud.

Zhou Linghe was stunned.

Little Tiger knelt on the ground, head tilted back, his eyes as clear as a spring.

"grown ups."

He spoke, his voice still childish, yet each word clear and distinct: "They wouldn't let me go to the county school, so I obeyed and stopped going."

"Little Tiger, be a good boy."

"Could you please—"

His eyes reddened, but he stubbornly held back his tears.

"Give my uncle back to me?"

boom!!!

These words, like a muffled thunderclap, exploded directly in Zhou Linghe's mind.

He stood still, motionless.

Her eyes instantly turned red.

Could you please give my uncle back to me?

These few words, each one more deadly than the last, are incredibly powerful and infuriating.

The child's uncle saved the entire city of Qingzhou.

It saved Zhou Linghe's life.

It saved hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

The scene of Cheng Laiyun rushing into the dark clouds that day appeared in his mind once again.

I just can't get rid of it!!

Zhou Linghe lowered his head and looked at Xiao Hu.

His cold, stern face was devoid of any expression.

But his hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

a long time.

He crouched down, took a deep breath, looked Xiao Hu straight in the eye, and tried to control his emotions: "What's your name?"

"Zhao Hu".

"Zhao Hu." Zhou Linghe nodded and gently stroked Xiao Hu's head.

He then stood up and looked out the door.

Those eyes were as cold as knives as he pulled Xiaohu towards the door, saying, "Let's go."

"Take me to the county school."

This was the only thing he could do.

Qingzhou County School.

The door was closed tightly.

Zhou Linghe stood in front of the door with Xiao Hu.

He didn't speak.

Xiao Hu didn't say anything either.

He simply pointed to the door.

Zhou Linghe nodded.

Then, he lifted his foot.

"Bang!!!"

The two heavy wooden doors shattered with a crash, sending splinters flying everywhere!

The guards inside the gate were so frightened that they ran away as fast as they could, scrambling and crawling inside.

"What do you do?!"

"How dare they do this at the Qingzhou County School—"

"Bang!!" Before the servant could finish speaking, Zhou Linghe kicked him more than ten meters away. He struggled on the ground for a few moments and then lay motionless.

"Who dares to act so recklessly in the county school?!"

In an instant, more than a dozen figures flashed out from the depths of the county school.

A sudden burst of spiritual power.

It attacked Zhou Linghe directly.

Zhou Linghe simply waved his hand, and the spiritual energy was swept away.

He then stepped inside, his gaze sweeping across the courtyard, completely ignoring the dozen or so figures.

Instead, he looked at the little tiger in his arms and said softly, "Little tiger, point out to your uncle who it is."

Xiao Hu pursed his lips, scanning the crowd. When his gaze fell on Zeng Qili, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Zeng Qili, saying, "It's him!"

Zeng Qili was still unaware of what had happened. He glared angrily at Zhou Linghe and demanded, "Who are you?!"

"This is not a place where you can act recklessly—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Linghe made his move.

The long sword at his waist also moved.

A flash of light appeared.

Zeng Qili didn't even have time to scream before his head fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out, splattering all over the ground.

The servants collapsed to the ground, wet their pants, and trembled all over.

Zhou Linghe sheathed his sword and continued walking inside.

Seeing the dozen or so figures, Huai Li took out a token and threw it at them.

"Zhou Linghe, Chief Military Advisor of Qingzhou and Commander-in-Chief of the Prefectural Office, is here."

"Where did the dean have sex?!"

"Bang!" The instructor who received the token was instantly stunned.

The entire room was completely silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the token.

"I will ask you one more time, where is the Dean of Staff?"

Zhou Linghe's voice sounded like that of a ghost from the deepest hell.

Everyone's body trembled.

The man holding the token trembled and stumbled as he approached Zhou Linghe, respectfully handing the token back to him.

He then quickly bowed and pointed deeper into the academy: "Inside—please come with me, sir—"

The back room.

Lu Yanfang was holding a teacup when she heard the noise and was about to get up when the door was kicked open.

Zhou Linghe stood at the door, his gaze fixed on his face.

Lü Yanfang's hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.

"Zhou—Zhou, the Military Advisor—?"

When Zhou Linghe took office yesterday, he was qualified to visit the shrine.

He naturally recognized the person in front of him.

Zhou Linghe walked up to him step by step, looking down at him.

"Do you know who I am?"

Lü Yanfang nodded repeatedly, cold sweat pouring down her forehead:

-

"I know, I know—Zhou Canjun is the newly appointed Chief Military Advisor of Qingzhou—I even specially delivered a pound of it yesterday—"

Zhou Linghe interrupted him: "This child, bring the letter of recommendation."

He pointed to the little tiger outside the door.

"Are you insisting that he can't get into your county school?"

Lu Yanfang's face turned deathly pale, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

Zhou Linghe looked at him and suddenly smiled.

That smile was as cold as the chilling wind from the deepest hell.

"Dean Lü, I have a question for you—"

He spoke slowly and deliberately: "The county school, whose county school?"

Lü Yanfang opened her mouth, and a "clucking" sound came from her throat.

Zhou Linghe did not wait for his reply.

He turned and walked towards the door.

He stopped at the door, without turning his head, and said, "Before tomorrow, write down the good deeds you and that Zeng fellow have done and send it to the prefectural magistrate."

"If one word is missing..."

He paused.

"I have come to collect it myself."

After saying that, he strode away.

All that was left was Lü Yanfang slumped in a chair, trembling all over, like a lump of mud.

Outside the door, Xiao Hu stood in the sunlight, looking up at that tall figure.

Zhou Linghe looked down at him.

Then, he reached out and gently pressed his hand on the little tiger's head.

"Let's go."

County school?

What county school?

As Cheng Laiyun lay in bed, he could feel many eyes staring at him.

He knew his cousin's family had arrived.

But it seems that Xiaohu also said that they wouldn't let him go to the county school?

What does that mean?

I'm so bored.

I feel so awful!

Cheng Laiyun felt as anxious as if a swarm of ants were crawling over his heart.

feeling bad.

-

Moreover—the sound of his cousin's family crying—made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Just as he was getting anxious.

I heard a familiar voice.

"They're here! Quick, let him take the pill first!!"

This is----

Gao Heyun? ?

Cheng Laiyun was taken aback.

Is it that fast?

Is it the Nine-Turn Jade Toad Pill?

I rely on.

Really coming?

Does my master have that much influence?

Did Zhang Xiang really get me some pills?!

Just as he was marveling at his master's extraordinary abilities.

Then I felt a slightly cool finger gently touch my lips.

He dared not use force, letting the fingers pry his lips open.

Then, a pill slid into his mouth.

Cheng Laiyun could feel that the pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into a warm current that slid down his throat into his stomach.

The warm current was initially very thin, as thin as a hair, as it traveled through his body.

But in just a few breaths, the strand of hair suddenly swelled up, turning into a rushing river that surged wildly into every part of the body!

Then it all transformed into an extremely fine stream, flowing along the two bridges of heaven and earth towards the eighth-grade seed of consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness!

Cheng Laiyun almost cried out.

No way!! This pill detected that I wasn't poisoned, so it's going to directly help me break through?!

Cheng Laiyun clenched his fists tightly.

No, no! I definitely can't break through in front of so many people!

Moreover, he had to pretend.

Pretend to be someone who has just crawled back from the brink of death—extremely weak.

So he kept his eyes closed, but made his breathing more even and his heartbeat gradually stronger.

"Cheng Laiyun!"

Gao Heyun's voice rang in my ears, still cold, but with a hint of urgency.

Cheng Laiyun didn't move.

"Cheng Laiyun!" Xu Jiayin's voice was choked with sobs, "Wake up! You took the medicine, why aren't you awake—"

Cheng Laiyun felt a little guilty.

But he still didn't move.

He has to wait.

Waiting for the right opportunity.

Just then, a soft, warm hand grasped his.

It was my cousin, Cheng Lingqiao.

"Laiyun—" Her voice was hoarse, nasal from crying, "Sister's here—open your eyes and look at sister—"

Cheng Laiyun's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't keep up the act any longer.

His eyelids twitched.

"His eyelids moved!" Xu Jiayin exclaimed.

Cheng Laiyun slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view were concerned faces.

Xu Jiayin's eyes were red, and there were still tear stains on her face.

Gao Heyun stood by the bed, her phoenix eyes fixed on him, a hint of relief hidden in them.

Xu Miaozhen stood a short distance away with her hands behind her back, a slight smile on her lips, her eyes full of satisfaction.

And there's my cousin, Cheng Lingqiao.

She held his hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Laiyun! Laiyun, you're awake!!"

Zhao Huaili stood behind his wife, his eyes red-rimmed, nodding repeatedly: "It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake—"

Cheng Laiyun opened his mouth, his throat terribly dry, and only managed to utter a hoarse syllable: "Sister—"

Cheng Lingqiao's tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Don't speak, don't speak—" She gripped his hand tightly: "Just lie still, I'm here, I'm here—"

Xu Jiayin squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Cheng Laiyun's arm, and sobbed uncontrollably, "Cheng Laiyun, you scared me to death! You're not allowed to do that again! Do you hear me?!"

Cheng Laiyun felt dizzy from being shaken so much, and weakly managed a smile: "Senior sister—stop shaking me! If this were an egg, the yolk would be smashed!"

Xu Jiayin quickly let go of his hand, blushing and glaring at him: "You're just being cheeky as soon as you're awake!"

Gao Heyun stood to the side without saying a word.

But Cheng Laiyun noticed that her hand, which was gripping the knife handle, loosened.

Xu Miaozhen walked over and looked down at him.

There was an unprecedented gentleness in those phoenix eyes.

"It's good that you're awake." Her voice was soft, yet it carried a reassuring strength: "Take good care of yourself."

Cheng Laiyun looked at her and suddenly grinned.

"Master————"

"Um?"

"thank you."

Xu Miaozhen was slightly taken aback, then a very faint smile appeared on her lips: "Nonsense."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

A minor official bowed as he entered, carrying a roll of yellow silk. He greeted Xu Miaozhen with a salute: "Elder Xu, the Cabinet has sent a letter, specifically instructing that it be delivered to Cheng Laiyun."

The room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were on the rolled-up yellow silk.

Xu Miaozhen raised an eyebrow, took the yellow silk, unfolded it, and glanced at it.

Then she smiled.

That smile was full of meaning.

She handed the yellow silk to Cheng Laiyun.

See for yourself.

Cheng Laiyun took it and unfolded it.

On the yellow silk were only a few lines of text, yet each word carried immense weight:

Cheng Laiyun

[In the Battle of Qujiang, you single-handedly braved the treacherous poisonous clouds, beheaded Zhang Hong, broke the snake formation, and saved hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou from dire straits.]

His heart shines as brightly as the sun and moon; his conduct is worthy of a national hero.

[You are hereby promoted to Inspector General of the Imperial Household Department, a position of the eighth rank, as an exceptional promotion.]

[You are hereby ordered to travel to Beijing within one month to report on your duties.]

The signature was affixed to the cabinet seal and included a flamboyant, calligraphic signature.

Zhang Linzheng.

Cheng Laiyun was stunned.

Inspector of the Imperial Household Department?

Eighth rank?

What the heck?!

I'm pregnant?!

This is so abrupt!

He raised his head and looked at Xu Miaozhen.

Xu Miaozhen just smiled.

He then looked at Gao Heyun.

A rare smile appeared on Gao Heyun's usually cold face: "Congratulations."

Cheng Laiyun blinked and looked at Gao Heyun: "Lord Gao, from now on, we should address each other as colleagues?"

Gao Heyun chuckled and nodded: "Yes, Lord Cheng."

hiss~~

Comfortable!!

He heard Gao Heyun call him Lord Cheng.

Cheng Laiyun felt as refreshed as if he had eaten an ice pop on a sweltering summer day!

Previously, I was the only one who addressed her as "Master".

Now it's her turn to call me!

Sure, sure!

Cheng Lingqiao and Zhao Huaili exchanged a glance, their faces full of surprise, yet somewhat at a loss.

Zhao slapped her thigh, beaming from ear to ear: "Oh my! Laiyun's become an official! Our family has produced a high-ranking official!"

Looking at everyone's laughter.

Cheng Laiyun was about to say something again.

But suddenly I felt the thoughts in my mind expanding.

His face flushed red instantly.

No no no!

We cannot break through at this time!!

"Um! My stomach hurts! You guys wait here for a bit, I need to use the restroom!!"

Cheng Laiyun sprang out of bed instantly and hurriedly headed for the door!

As they reached the door, they saw Zhou Linghe returning, holding Xiao Hu's hand.

When Zhou Linghe saw Cheng Laiyun, his face suddenly froze.

? ? ? ?

Did I see a ghost in broad daylight?

"Lord Zhou, excuse me, please let me pass, I'm in a hurry!!" Without thinking, Cheng Laiyun stepped past Zhou Linghe and ran quickly into the distance, saying to Zhou Linghe as he ran, "Go inside, everyone's inside. You'll know what happened once you're in!!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the distance.

Watching Cheng Laiyun's retreating figure, Zhou Linghe swallowed hard, glanced down at Xiao Hu, and hesitated before asking, "Was that your uncle just now?"

Xiao Hu looked equally bewildered: "It should be—right??"
