"What, you said that Taoist nun was the one who took Li Yi away from Kyoto?"
The King of Shu stood up abruptly from his chair and asked, "Where is he now?"
"I haven't seen Uncle Li, so I think they have hidden me." Jiang Zian said with guilt, "The official is incompetent and failed to save Uncle Li from those people..."
"What about the Taoist nun?" the King of Shu asked again.
"It's been gone since last night." Jiang Zian said with his head down.
"try to find!"
The King of Shu patted the table fiercely, and said, "You must find him for me!"
After a while, Jiang Zian walked out of Shu Palace, heaving a long sigh of relief.
Although almost one night had passed, the feeling in his heart at this time was still a bit complicated and unspeakable.
He waved his hand, and said to a policeman beside him: "Send down the order, all the yamen servants and civilians will search village by village, and if there is any news about those people, report them immediately!"
At this time, in a certain village not far from Yong County, dozens of figures were waiting respectfully outside a certain courtyard.
In the courtyard, the man in purple bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have sent people to look at the small bamboo forest that person said, but I didn't find the protector."
The middle-aged nun leaned against the head of the bed, her hair was a little disheveled, her face was pale, she waved her hand and said, "Continue to search in the city, and in addition, send more people to search for those two..."
"yes!"
The man in purple responded and walked outside the door. Not long after, the dozens of men in blue and yellow changed their clothes and dispersed.
In a dry well in Yongxian County, the man surnamed Fang was pale, his acupoints were sealed, and his true energy could not flow. He looked up at the sky at the mouth of the well, with a look of despair on his face.
…
…
Outside Yong County, somewhere deep in the mountains.
The bald man was leaning against a tree, with a dull expression and dull eyes, also looking up at the sky.
"How much time do I have?"
After an unknown amount of time, his lips moved with difficulty.
A bandit beside him looked at the sky, sighed, and said, "It's less than half an hour."
The bald man put his hands behind his head and said, "After today, you all go back."
"Brother..."
The bald man waved his hand and said, "Go back and farm well. Although life is a bit bitter, you won't die of hunger. It's better than pinning your head to your trouser belt..."
"Half-step crazy with a smile... If I can't help laughing after a while, give me a good time, then dig a hole and bury it, don't pile up soil, don't erect a monument, don't want anything." A wry smile appeared on the face of the bald man , "Bleeding from the seven orifices, exploding to death, too ugly..."
A bandit gritted his teeth and stood up, saying, "Brother, I'll go get the antidote back!"
"It's too late." The bald bandit waved his hand and said, "Go back and give me a word for your sister-in-law."
"Tell her that I married her in my life and I don't regret it."
…
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have persuaded my elder brother!" A bandit gritted his teeth, stood up abruptly, and slashed at the tree fiercely.
"Ahead, did you see a young man with a girl..."
A voice came from behind, and the bandit waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Roll, sir, you're upset, what's the noise, and if you make any more noise, I'll kill you!"
Plop!
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the bend of his legs, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.
"What did you say?"
An old man with messy hair came up from behind, looked at him and asked.
The bandits' eyes widened suddenly, and they couldn't help shivering.
"Ex, senior..." Several people were terrified beyond measure. Thinking of the horrible scene a few days ago, several people fell to their knees immediately.
"It's you again!" The old man also showed surprise on his face, but he remembered that the bald head was the leader of the group, and he walked over and asked, "Hey, have you ever seen a young man with... a beautiful girl?" With a young man?"
The bald man leaned against the tree, his expression neither sad nor happy, he cast a glance at the old man and didn't answer.
The old man narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "The old man asked you something!"
The bald man glanced at him again, his eyes were indifferent, without any emotion.
The old man pinched his neck, lifted him up against the tree trunk, and said, "Aren't you afraid that this old man will kill you?"
The bald man gave him a cold look, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, kill if you want, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, women are the same!"
The cold look on the old man's face disappeared, and he looked at him in surprise, "You want to die?"
The bald man said calmly: "Anyway, in half an hour, the poison will be gone. You can kill me and give me a good time."
The old man grabbed his wrist, probed it, and said in surprise, "It's not poisoned..."
The big man said coldly: "Hmph! That 'smiling half-step madness' is a rare poison in the world. If there is no antidote, after half an hour, I will laugh out loud, my whole body will fester, my meridians will be cut off, and my body will explode. and die..."
The old man was even more surprised, and said: "The old man has been in the world for decades, and he has never heard of this strange poison."
"That's because you are ignorant." The bald man glanced at him and said, "If you want to kill, kill him. What are you talking about? If you don't kill me, I'll find someone else to kill him!"
Instead of being angry, the old man smiled and said, "I was called 'Old Freak Xu' in Jianghu. I didn't expect that you are even weirder than me, and you actually begged others to kill you..."
"Brother, brother!" At this moment, a figure ran out from a room not far away, raised the paper in his hand, and said happily: "Brother, I found this in the room, and the person said What you are taking is not poison, it is all lying to you!"
"Really?" The big man's expression was shocked, he took the paper from his hand, looked at it, then stuffed it to another person beside him, and said, "Ergou, you have also studied for two years, look at what is written on it. What!"
The man cast his eyes hastily, slapped his thigh, and said, "Brother, it's true, that man left a letter saying that what he gave you was not poison!"
The big man showed ecstasy on his face, and murmured: "So, I don't have to die?"
"No, no, no..."
The old man glanced at him lightly, shook his head, and said: "The old man thought about it seriously just now, since you want to die with all your heart, why didn't the old man help you, and it will be a good story to help others if it is spread in the future."
The smile on the bald man's face froze.
Plop!
He knelt down on the ground, hugged the old man's thigh, and said with snot and tears: "Senior, I was wrong, I don't want to die, don't you want to find someone, let's talk about finding someone! "
"You really don't think about it anymore?" The old man looked at him and said, "Others ask this old man to help, and the reward is one hundred thousand taels of silver. The old man is in a good mood today, and he won't take any money. You've made a lot of money!"
"Don't think about it, don't think about it!" The bald man shook his head fiercely, and said, "What kind of person is the senior, you shouldn't make a move if it is less than a hundred thousand taels, and the junior will never let you suffer!"
The old man took out a portrait from his arms and asked, "Tell me, have you seen this person?"
"No." The big man shook his head fiercely. Although the characters in the portrait gave him a very familiar feeling, he had never seen them before.
The old man frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said again: "Think about it again, that man is probably so tall, there should be a girl by his side, no, a young man, dressed as an inn boy, he should carry it with him A sword..."
After the bald bandit was stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "I seem to have seen it before..."
…
"Five hours ago, they went down this road..." the bald man pointed to a mountain road with a flattering look on his face.
"That's right." The slovenly old man nodded, took out something from his pocket, and threw it to him casually.
"Your reward!"
The bald man watched the old man throw a milky white square into his mouth, looked at the exact same thing in his own hand, and put it into his mouth as well.
The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly.
"This taste..."
