A bucket of warm bath water is enough to wash away most of the tiredness. Yun Yifeng was lying on the edge of the barrel, her wet ink hair sticking to her back, making her skin white as snow. There was a little redness behind the ears, Ji Yanran leaned over and kissed lightly there.
Yun Yifeng didn't open his eyes, but said lazily: "The lord hasn't said yet, where did he go to get caught in the rain in the middle of the night, and where did he go to arrest who."
"I also went to the mountain and saw the ghost marriage." Ji Yanran helped him to tie up his wet hair, "The medicine boy didn't slip down the mountain by mistake, but I knocked him down."
Yun Yifeng turned around and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"During the day, when I was discussing matters with Huang Wuding, the commander of the Southwest Garrison, and Shi Dong, the county magistrate, I heard rumors that the rich man in Yuli City, Mr. Zhou, seemed to have a lot of contacts with that wizard recently, so I wanted to stop by to see. "
In the end, I happened to see the housekeeper of the Zhou family sneaking out. Dozens of servants were pulling the cart, and they didn't know what was placed on it. They covered it tightly with a black cloth, and the group went straight out of the city.
Ji Yanran said: "I heard that there was a young master in the Zhou family who unfortunately died of illness a few months ago. I'm afraid this ghost was promised to him."
Although it is against the law, it involves wizards and Lamulin. Obviously, it is not the case that the government can just arrest people and make a fuss. So Ji Yanran didn't intend to startle the snake, but when the crowd left, seeing the boy in gray was squeezed out, he had an idea and knocked him off the cliff with stones. , is not surprising.
Yun Yifeng smiled and said: "From this point of view, the prince is still more powerful."
"The person arrested is right next door." Ji Yanran said, "You worked hard all night too, go to sleep first, it won't be too late for the trial tomorrow morning."
Yun Yifeng agreed, and then yawned. He took a comfortable bath, the bedding on the bed has been replaced by ice silk by Ji Yanran, it is no longer sticky and stuffy when he lies on it, his body is refreshed and refreshed, and a few breezes can occasionally sneak in through the cracks of the window, which is quite comfortable. Comfortable.
Ji Yanran leaned aside, coaxing patiently. Caressing the soft long hair with the palm, and then rubbing it all the way down, compared to the weakness and thinness when the poisonous hair, Yun Yifeng has actually grown a lot of flesh, and the waist is also soft, no longer so thin Distressed. It's just that no matter how carefully he is recuperating now, he still can't erase the dark and cruel things that happened to him in the past. Apart from Qiuniang, there are other poisons and tortures. Ji Yanran can't imagine, and he doesn't dare at all. to think about.
He lowered his head and dropped a light kiss between the beautiful eyelashes, as if he was treating the most delicate treasure in the world.
…
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly again.
Ji Yanran got up very early, no one was around, Yun Yifeng didn't want to sleep anymore, just wrapped in a light robe, and when she went out, she saw that Aunt Yu had prepared breakfast, Mu Chengxue had porridge and green side dishes, Fat Diao was eating Eating a plate of jerky, there is also a large jar of chicken soup and rice noodles with various vegetables and meat, served with small meat pies and refreshing pickles, and the dining table is full of dazzling arrays.
In fact, the master of Yunmen is not considered edible, but compared with the killer who almost does not eat fireworks, he is particularly idiot, especially when Aunt Yu sees that he is too thin, she has to keep adding meat and vegetables, and she eats a lot of breakfast In the posture of endless royal feasts, Mu Chengxue had a peaceful expression, casually scratching the fat mink, thinking, it's my own.
And upstairs, Ji Yanran was interrogating the dwarf. The other party claimed to be named Shu Miao, who was originally a villager in the southwest area, and made a living by juggling. Later, after being bought by Changyou, he became his medicine servant.
"Many worm holes are born in the slits, and ordinary adult men cannot enter." Shu Miao said, "Although this business is dangerous, it is much better than the days when the same village ridiculed and despised it."
According to his confession, Changyou never killed anyone with his own hands. He only "received" fresh corpses from the waxwood forest on the opposite side of the Chai River to make puppets and Gu, and the remains were used to raise poisonous insects.
"When the great witch went to the dense forest, he never let us follow." Shu Miao said, "So we don't know what's there, and we usually only do some work of collecting herbs and raising insects, or we will beat them."
"Don't you know anything?" Ji Yanran put down the teacup and reminded him, "Even if the gang hidden in the waxwood forest are not traitors, they are not far from being beheaded. I think you have a handicapped life and a pity. I wanted to give you a lighter sentence, but it also depends on your own performance."
Shu Miao's face turned pale: "I really don't know anything." After a while, he tremblingly said, "There is one thing, those pigs, cows, and boa constrictors in the backyard will go crazy."
Ji Yanran frowned: "Speak clearly!"
"I don't know what kind of evil food Changyou feeds those livestock. If I don't eat it for a day, I will stare at the blood-red eyes and go crazy." The pig knocked open the ring door, rushed into the room, and gnawed away a dead doll."
Speaking of this, he seemed to recall the bloody scene again, and coughed and vomited. Ji Yanran looked at him, but he was thinking about another thing. Once the drug was stopped, the docile pigs and cattle could turn into ferocious beasts and eat human corpses. If it was replaced by giant apes and gray elephants in the wax forest—
"Eating people!"
There was an exclamation and noise in the street!
Yun Yifeng was full of rice noodles, and just about to go to find Ji Yanran, when suddenly such a voice came to his ear, he was immediately startled. Open the window and look down, the people are already in disarray, you are pushing me and running in one direction, the stalls have been overturned, and the shoes have fallen off. At this time, all of them can’t be bothered to clean up, as if there is something behind them. A group of cannibal ghosts are chasing them.
A huge black shadow jumped down from the city tower, making a strange "squeak" sound, and its limbs landed on the ground with a "boom", splashing a cloud of mud and dust.
It was a huge black ape, the hair on his body was dry and hard like thorns, and the mouth was full of blood and mucus, and the blood-red eyes were protruding, almost falling out of their sockets. If there really are hell demons in the world, then they should probably look like this terrifying.
The woman was protecting the child in her arms, curled up in a pile of broken carts, shivering. She didn't dare to make a sound, and wanted to cover her daughter's eyes, but the little doll raised her head curiously, and happened to see the pair of bleeding red eyes, and was so frightened that she cried out with a "wow".
The childish voice echoed in the empty street, shrill and ear-piercing.
The black ape was stimulated, jumped up with a long roar, and rushed towards the mother and daughter. The sharp claws stretched in the air like steel cones, and they were about to penetrate the little doll's skull, but a sudden chill came from the back of the neck, and the heavy body was thrown into the air by a huge force, and the red blood mist was sprayed, blinding the eyes with hair.
The blade of the Feiluan pierced through the strong muscles, Yun Yifeng picked up the black giant ape, and threw it violently towards a stone pile, and his brains burst, no matter how hard it is to do evil. Mu Chengxue helped the mother and daughter up, and told them to go home quickly, but the little baby was still crying, following her gaze, she saw more and more big apes scrambling to be the first, like rolling stones Smash down the tower.
Dozens, no, hundreds.
It is estimated that the apes in the entire Lamu forest have gathered in Yuli City at this time. They stared at their blood-stained eyes, and when their sharp claws hooked from the bluestone, they would leave a string of piercing white scratches.
Yun Yifeng's scalp was about to explode.
The disgusting things he has experienced in this life are not rare, but it is really rare to be disgusted like this. The ferocious and frenzied apes rolled into waves, and they could rush forward wave after wave without strong wind blowing. Wherever they went, not a single blade of grass would grow, but houses could be demolished. The fresh and tender fruit was not interested, but instead pulled the raw meat from the butcher's stall, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, with bright red blood foam constantly overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
The world was dark, and the wind was blowing.
Yun Yifeng clenched the Feiluan sword tightly, his eyes were cold, and the hem of his clothes danced wildly like flying snow.
The group of apes quickly noticed him, smelling the smell of fresh flesh and blood, and their cries were immediately tinged with excitement. In order to be the first to rush forward, they even stepped on the heads of their own kind, scratching the flesh with their sharp claws. , seven or eight cunning apes leaped to the front on blood, pranced and rushed straight!
Yun Yifeng flipped his wrist, and before he could make a move, the golden dragon roared out of its sheath behind him, as if the surrounding fields were splitting apart, and with its tremendous internal force, it shocked the group of beasts who didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and screamed "Zhi Zhi" He fell to the ground, dizzy, and hesitated to move forward.
Yun Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord."
Ji Yanran protected him behind him, and cast a cold glance forward. The blade of the sword was still humming, the small sound pierced the air, like an invisible silver needle, piercing the eardrums and eyes of the apes. The awe and fear of the ancient dragons are naturally fused into the flesh and blood of the beasts. They all took two soft steps back at the same time, and fled out of the city by jumping and crawling.
This change came and went even faster. If it wasn't for the chaos and chaos in the streets, the people hiding in the houses would almost think that all this was an illusion. The yamen servants and officers and soldiers have heard the news and have rushed over one after another. There are familiar voices on the street, and the people tremblingly stepped out of the dilapidated threshold, looking at the street as if it had been ransacked by criminals, their faces pale and fearful, timid. The women and young children have begun to cry softly.
"My lord, the master of Yunmen." The county magistrate Shi Dong was also shocked, and hurriedly explained, "Although Yuli City is close to the dense forest, this kind of—"
"First take someone to count the injured people and damaged houses, and make arrangements for everyone." Ji Yanran interrupted him, "After an hour, come to the inn with Huang Wuding to find me."
"Yes, yes." Shi Dong repeatedly agreed, and took the master to work.
Yun Yifeng asked: "What's going on?"
"It's related to Changyou." Ji Yanran said, "Let's go back to the inn first."
After Mu Chengxue sent the mother and daughter home, she also went back to the inn alone. When the fat mink saw him, she rushed up and hooked the hem of the clothes with her chubby claws. Doudou's delicate eyes were half-opened. I was quite frightened. And the old father is not in the mood to be jealous at this time, "Why didn't you rush when I came back just now?" As the saying goes, the mink is not good enough to stay, so it is important to think about how to save the people in the city first.
"A drug that can drive livestock mad, what is that?"
"Shu Miao can't tell, I only know that Changyou carefully concocted it." Ji Yanran said, "Although today's apes are ferocious, they will not destroy the world, but if they were replaced by white elephants and giant pythons, or Tens of thousands of poisonous snakes, I'm afraid... "
Just thinking about these scenes, Yun Yifeng already had goose bumps all over his body. He asked: "Will the prince continue to raise Changyou and use him as bait to catch more members of the Mustang tribe?"
"I'm afraid I can't keep it anymore." Ji Yanran said, "We need to figure out what is driving the apes to go crazy as soon as possible, otherwise the next time the giant beast comes, the entire Yuli City will probably be flattened."
Yun Yifeng nodded: "En."
In the dark mansion outside the city, Chang You was still muttering, concentrating on cooking the poisonous insects in the porcelain cup. He didn't know what happened in the city, and even if he knew, he didn't feel that he would be involved. Over the years of rampant domineering, even the local officials have to give up three points, and no one dares to come to this house, so what is there to worry about? The only accident was that the seedlings fell off the cliff last night. Although it is a pity,... dwarves are not uncommon. If there is a suitable one in the future, just find another one.
He carefully picked up a poisonous insect, and even hummed a few relaxing tunes.
Yun Yifeng said: "I'll go."
Ji Yanran frowned slightly.
"Maybe there is some kind of poison hidden on his body, the prince should lead the army to guard outside." Yun Yifeng said, "Be obedient."
His Royal Highness Xiao Wang has never heard the word "obedient" since he was eight years old. He was a little dumbfounded for a while, and wanted to say a few more words, but Yun Yifeng had already pulled his collar and leaned in for a kiss , "Every time I was stopped by the prince, this time let me try to protect my sweetheart, huh?"
Ji Yanran said: "Huang Wuding and the others are still outside the door."
Yun Yifeng said: "Yes."
Ji Yanran said: "They can all hear what you said just now."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of footsteps outside, booming away, as if fleeing for their lives.
Yun Yi was calm and relaxed: "I can't hear it now, are you still kissing?"
