Chapter 284 Motoya
In a study room in General Lou’s main courtyard.
Lou Wanan sat in a chair in front of a desk.
Standing in the study were Lou Qianjiang and Xu Zhenfeng, who was still holding the Huangjing doll.
"Put the child down and let the court doctor treat him."
Xu Zhenfeng immediately said: "Thank you for your care, General. But he doesn't need it now. He is just exhausted. He will recover after a few days of rest."
Hearing this, Lou Wanan looked at him with some surprise.
When General Lou turned his head, Xu Zhenfeng also glanced at Lou Qianjiang.
After Lou Qianjiang waited for his father to look away, he gently shook his head at Xu Zhenfeng beside him.
All the meaning is implied.
All the guards in the yard who knew Huang Jingwa's identity were dead. Lou Qianjiang meant that he would not tell his father.
Xu Zhenfeng didn't believe what Lou Qianjiang meant at all. He would definitely tell his father, but he knew it needed to be kept secret.
The identity of the Huangjing doll is only known to the Lou family father and son.
Lou Wanan ignored the eye contact between Xu Zhenfeng and Lou Qianjiang and said:
"In a few days, Shahai City will have a batch of tungsten iron sent to the capital. You two will be responsible for escorting it. After delivering it to the capital, you will also have to bring back a batch of weapons and armor.
As long as the two of you deliver this batch of tungsten iron safely and bring back the weapons and armor intact, you will be considered to have accepted the punishment."
After hearing what Lou Wanan said, Xu Zhenfeng hadn't said anything yet, but Lou Qianjiang was obviously shocked.
"Father, you want us two to escort such important materials as tungsten iron, weapons and armor?"
"Well, what? Don't you dare?"
"No, it's not that I don't dare, father, recently the demons have been plundering the tungsten iron ore production in various places in our Qinyue country.
My son was afraid that he would lose this batch of tungsten iron because of his inability to cope with it, and he was even more afraid that the weapons and armor would be stolen by the demons, causing the general's mansion to be punished by the king. "
"Otherwise, how can it be called a punishment? Can something that is easy to do still be called a punishment?"
Lou Wanan looked at Lou Qianjiang with deep eyes.
Xu Zhenfeng frowned, looked at the Huangjing baby who was still sleeping in his arms, and said: "Reporting to the general, my son needs to rest.
I want to take him to a quiet place to recuperate as soon as possible. If I have to escort the tungsten iron to the capital, I am afraid that it will delay the time and cause harm to the child's health."
Lou Wanan thought Xu Zhenfeng was afraid of being held responsible if something went wrong, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll let A Lu and A Chou go with you. They are both heavenly cultivators. With them around, you can feel more at ease, right?"
Xu Zhenfeng wanted to say more, but after hearing his father's last words, Lou Qianjiang pulled his sleeve and turned to Lou Wanan and said, "Father, can I discuss this with Brother Xu and get back to you tomorrow?"
Lou Wanan's face was obviously unhappy. He glared at Lou Qianjiang and snorted coldly, "I'll give you a cup of tea to discuss it."
Lou Qianjiang hurriedly pulled Xu Zhenfeng out of the study and came to the pavilion in the corner of the yard.
"Brother Xu, listen to me."
After Lou Qianjiang said this first, he also looked at the Huangjing doll in Xu Zhenfeng's arms and continued:
"You... I know that my son's essence has been severely damaged and he urgently needs to absorb the power of the earth to repair it.
However, if we escort tungsten iron into the capital, we will pass by my master's sect, Xuantian Sect, on the way. In the territory of my Xuantian Sect, there is a place with extremely rich soil fertility, called Yuangu.
The reason why the Yuan Valley has so much fertility in the ground is that several herbs in the valley are about to become spirits.
If your son could go to Yuangu, even if only a trace of his original essence is left, it can be replenished there.
In this world, if there is a place that is most suitable for monsters like him to practice and heal, it is probably only Yuangu."
When Xu Zhenfeng heard Lou Qianjiang say that there were herbs in Yuan Valley that were about to become spirits, he almost drooled.
Herbal monsters don't become monsters directly, they first become goblins and then they can become monsters.
The monster cannot move its body, but it has some shallow magical powers that can confuse ordinary people and animals who get too close to it.
Only by becoming a demon can one transform into a true form and move freely.
If Huangjing Baby could go to Yuangu and absorb a few herbs that are about to become spirits, the benefits it would gain would not just be the recovery of its original essence.
If it is lucky enough to encounter one or two herbs that have become monsters, the Huangjing baby's cultivation level will probably be greatly improved.
After listening to Lou Qianjiang's words, Xu Zhenfeng said without hesitation: "Okay, I will escort the tungsten iron into the capital with you."
Lou Qianjiang simply convinced Xu Zhenfeng and immediately returned to the study to report to his father.
During the days when they were waiting in the General's Mansion for the tungsten iron to be loaded onto trucks and the team to set off, Lou Qianjiang also delivered two hundred magic crystals to Xu Zhenfeng.
Not only that, he also gave some rare treasures suitable for Huangjing Doll to absorb, to help him stabilize his somewhat scattered essence.
The Huangjing baby didn't wake up until the third day of his coma. As soon as the little guy opened his eyes, he asked Xu Zhenfeng.
"Dad, did Lou Qianjiang give us the magic crystal? Don't let him default on his debt."
When he asked this question, Lou Qianjiang happened to be next to him. This question made Lou Qianjiang feel very embarrassed.
After Huang Jing finished speaking, he saw Lou Qianjiang standing next to him. The little guy added nonchalantly, "Our Huang Jing's father almost died in your General's Mansion. Master Lou, you only gave him 200 magic crystals. Isn't that a bit too stingy?"
Lou Qianjiang forced a smile and said, "Of course it's more than 200 magic crystals. We will take you to a good place in two days. Once you get there, you will know whether our help is worth it or not."
Huang Jingwawa didn't know about Yuan Gu's affairs, and just thought that Lou Qianjiang was just saying nice things, so he curled his lips.
"No place can be better than taking the magic crystal directly? Master Lou, even if you are stingy, that's fine.
Considering that my father and I risked our lives for your family's trivial matter and almost lost our lives, it's not too much to give you another two or three hundred magic crystals, right?"
Lou Qianjiang's face became even more embarrassed, but he wanted to make friends with the father and son. After thinking about it, he said:
"How about this, I'll go ask my father. If he has any extra magic crystals, I'll bring some over."
Huang Jing then smiled and said, "I knew that Mr. Lou is open-minded. He is not the kind of person who would be ungrateful and shameless after crossing the river and then destroy the bridge after he has left his work behind..."
Before he could finish, Xu Zhenfeng covered his mouth with his hand.
"Okay, Mr. Lou is a kind person. He can't beat you, so you should say less."
Huang Jing pulled Xu Zhenfeng's hand away with all his strength, looked at him confidently and said, "We Huang Jing were born with a mouth to speak, otherwise why would we have a mouth?"
Whenever Huang Jingwa started to talk too much, Xu Zhenfeng's forehead would start to buzz.
Lou Qianjiang had already rushed out of the door to ask his father for the magic crystal.
He could imagine that if he didn't give out some magic crystals, this little thing would nag him until he committed suicide during the entire journey of escorting the tungsten iron to the capital.
It’s also thanks to Huangjing doll’s mouth.
Not long after, Lou Qianjiang came back and gave Xu Zhenfeng another two hundred medium-grade magic crystals.
This time, Huang Jingwawa finally spared Lou Qianjiang with his mouth.
Although the little fellow didn't say anything, he still looked a little disapproving when he looked at those magic crystals.
