Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 238 Pick it up and run

Lin Jiang suddenly picked Sun Zhong up and carried him on his back. At that moment, Sun Zhong's head was buzzing and he even lost his ability to think for a moment.

Just then, he clearly saw layers of white smoke rising from beneath Lin Jiang's feet.

The next moment, Sun Zhong heard a strong gust of wind blowing past his ears.

Amidst the screams of passersby and a guard's shout of "What are you doing!", Sun Zhong felt the scene before him change rapidly.

In that instant, Sun Zhong realized that the bluestone floor that had been imprinted in his eyes had turned into a dirt road and mud.

He struggled for a moment before finally lifting his head.

In his view, the entire capital city was rapidly receding into the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Kobayashi! What are you doing?!"

Sun Zhong was terrified.

He never expected Lin Jiang to do such a thing.

"Of course I'll treat you to fish!"

"You can't eat fish like that! You're practically forcing me out of here!"

"The fish over there is delicious."

"But I can't leave the capital! I can't leave!"

Sun Zhong began to struggle.

"Why? Is it because someone in the capital is telling you not to leave?"

"me…"

Sun Zhong was at a loss.

Yes, why can't I leave the capital?

Logically speaking, the towns surrounding the city are not far from the capital, so going there shouldn't take too long.

Based on my usual behavior, I should have agreed today.

But why...

The more Sun Zhong thought about it, the more his head ached.

He felt as if he had overlooked something very important, but now his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

The deeper he thought about it, the more a strange feeling of falling arose in Sun Zhong's body.

He felt the scene before him growing darker and darker, as if if this continued, he would fall into an abyss of no return.

We cannot leave the capital!

Intense thoughts disturbed Sun Zhong's mind, and just as he was about to shout, he felt something appear next to his mouth.

Sun Zhong didn't even have time to react before he swallowed it whole.

It looked like a round pill, which immediately turned into liquid after entering his mouth and flowed into his body.

Sun Zhong immediately felt the sense of bewilderment that had been lingering in his heart dissipate considerably.

"What was that just now?"

"I don't know if my grandfather ever gave you any."

That is pure and dust-free.

Lin Jiang had never even tasted the elixir before, but he gave it to Sun Zhong to try first.

But the effect did seem quite good; Sun Zhong was noticeably calmer at this moment.

"Dan? You really did learn Dan. That old guy really couldn't bear to part with his grandson; he must have taught you something."

Sun Zhong muttered a couple of sentences, paused, and then continued:

Are we really going to eat fish?

"Eat fish."

“I don’t know why, but I was really scared just now, but it shouldn’t have anything to do with you,” Sun Zhong murmured. “I’m not moving, just don’t leave me halfway.”

"It's only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, how could I possibly leave you behind?"

"it is good."

As he had said, Sun Zhong obediently leaned on Lin Jiang's shoulder and stopped moving.

The clouds and mist beneath Lin Jiang's feet grew thicker, and he moved at a rapid pace.

People in the capital haven't realized what's happening yet; we must get to that fishing town as soon as possible.

He believed that those people wouldn't be able to react in time.

……

When Zhou Canshen returned to his residence, he had a servant bring him a cup of fine tea, which he blew on to cool it down before savoring it.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Shenshen couldn't help but think of Lin Jiang.

He shook his head slightly:
"Although he has acquired skills, he is still a young man and too easily excited. He couldn't help but want to argue back after only saying a few words. He will find it difficult to achieve great things if he does that."

As Zhou Shen felt the faint warmth in his throat, his emotions calmed down a bit.

However, at that moment, a servant suddenly rushed into the mansion.

Zhou Canshen glanced in the direction of the newcomer, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then asked with a smile:

"What happened this time that made you rush to see me?"

The servant stopped in front of him and hurriedly reported:
"Lord Zhou! Mirror reports that Lin Jiang has taken Sun Zhong out of the city!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Canshen frowned.

"Left the city? Isn't Old Sun under a prohibition? How did he leave the city?"

A stiff, bitter expression appeared on the servant's face:
"Lin Jiang simply picked him up and carried him out of the city!"

Zhou Canshen: "?"

He imagined the scene, and his mind seemed to freeze instantly.

What? He carried him out of the city? Has this kid gone completely mad?
Although Zhou Canshen had just mocked Lin Jiang for being "young and impetuous," he was at a loss for words when faced with this blatant act of recklessness.

"Where are they going?"

"Their whereabouts are unknown, but they are heading south."

What does Lin Jiang want to do?

"You ask this? I have no idea!" Zhou Canshen almost blurted out "useless," but out of consideration for his manners, he suppressed the thought.

He didn't know Lin Jiang very well, and judging from various sources, he was a fairly normal person.

Carrying high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Justice out of the capital is no small matter. His willingness to take such a risk suggests he is driven by substantial personal gain.

"Can you keep up with Lin Jiang?"

"It's impossible!" The servant's expression grew even more bitter. "He's just too fast. Have you ever seen a carriage pulled by a celestial horse? He's going about the same speed as that precious chariot! Unless we intercept him beforehand, or send a master of the Star-Point Dao to chase after him, there's simply no way we can stop Lin Jiang."

Zhou Shenshen used his left middle finger and thumb to press and massage his temples.

"First, notify the southern soldiers to set up defenses at the capital's borders in advance. Then, go find those old guys; some of them should be willing to help. Although we don't know what Lin Jiang is planning, we absolutely cannot let him take Sun Zhong out of the capital!"

"it is good!"

The servant immediately turned to leave, but before he had taken two steps, he hurriedly returned:

"grown ups!"

"What is it now! Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say!" Zhou Canshen finally couldn't help but yell.

"Lin...Lin Jiang has stopped."

"Where?"

"He took Sun Zhong to that town south of the capital, and... took him into a fish shop."

"Eat fish?"

"Eat fish." The servant was also a little confused: "I've been to their shop before, and their fish is indeed very delicious..."

"Is that what I asked?!" Zhou Canshen cursed angrily, then plopped back down in his chair.

He frowned:

"Eating fish? Really, just for the sake of eating fish?"

……

Lin Jiang led Sun Zhong into the shop. Just as the waiter was about to call out "Welcome," he discovered that Lin Jiang was carrying Sun Zhong on his back.

The waiter was completely dumbfounded, the words stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Jiang said directly:
"Find me a private room."

"Oh... hey hey." The waiter finally came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, but his eyes still couldn't help looking at Sun Zhong.

Sun Zhong seemed to sense the waiter's gaze, and he struggled to lift his head to look at the waiter:

"Ah, it's nothing, don't worry about me."

How could I not care!

The waiter felt he couldn't handle the situation, so he simply led the two to one of the best private rooms in the restaurant.

Lin Jiang placed Sun Zhong on a chair, and after ordering the waiter to serve the most signature dishes, Lin Jiang then reached into his robes and touched Sun Zhong.

He took out the tiger robe:

"Go and inform the King of Qi."

The tiger-robed figure immediately twisted its body, gently opened its mouth, and the shadow of the square bone slowly crawled out from between its teeth and fell to the ground.

Fang Gutou got up, straightened his clothes, bowed and took his leave before immediately jumping out of the window and running away.

"Xiaolin, now you should tell me what you want from me, right?"

"Let's eat the fish first, and then we'll talk about it."

The two fell silent. Lin Jiang stared out the window, waiting for the Prince of Qi, while Sun Zhong wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

A short while later, a slight disturbance came from the window. The two looked in that direction and discovered that Fang Gutou had returned.

Behind him followed a strange child whose face was covered with images of men, women, and children of all ages.

The King of Qi has arrived.

As soon as King Qi entered the room, he looked around.
"Where's the fish?"

"What fish?"

“You ghost told me you called me to eat fish.”

Lin Jiang immediately looked at Fang Gutou, whose face showed a slightly embarrassed expression:
"Doesn't saying that make me sound more professional...?"

Lin Jiang sighed softly, and finally pointed at Sun Zhong:
"I've brought the people with me to the meeting."

After saying that, Lin Jiang reached into his sleeve and pulled out half of Sun Zhong.

"It's him."

King Qi reached out and grabbed Lin Jiang's palm.

Sun Zhong's soul was almost entirely grasped in his palm.

King Qi kneaded the dough in his palms twice, and when he opened them again, a dark, round ball had appeared in the very center of his palms.

"You'll be fine if you eat this."

Sun Zhong glanced at the King of Qi's hands, still stained with black mud, and his expression became very subtle:
Can I not eat?

"It's not up to you."

King Qi suddenly lunged at Sun Zhong, pinning him beneath his body.

Sun Zhong kept his mouth tightly shut, not wanting this strange thing to enter his mouth.

Unfortunately, King Qi didn't listen to him at all, and instead slapped his hand on Sun Zhong's forehead.

next moment,
Sun Zhong felt as if something had exploded inside his head.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he lay stiffly on the ground, his breathing becoming rapid.

"Now that the matter is over, it's time to eat fish."

King Qi returned to his seat and waited patiently for the fish to arrive.

Lin Jiang looked at Sun Zhong nervously.

Seeing Sun Zhong twitch a few more times on the ground before stiffly getting up, Lin Jiang subconsciously asked:
"Grandpa, how are you...?"

As if waking from a deep dream, Sun Zhong opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Lin Jiang:

"Kobayashi...you rescued me?"

Become!

Lin Jiang was overjoyed!
