Caitian hurried over, and saw that the wooden house was almost completely burned out. If the old man Mu Chi hadn't run out, he was afraid that not even a single corpse would be burned at this time.
There are thousands of people who are hidden here, as long as they are not found, everything will be fine, but they do not expect to encounter such an accident. Caitian sighed anxiously, turned around and wanted to go to Guilaizhuang to report back to Lanji, but there was a sudden chill on the back of his neck.
"Who are you looking for here?" Duan Baiyue's voice was cold.
"King of the Southwest?" Caitian was extremely surprised, but he wanted to turn back but was afraid of the cold blade, so he forced himself to calmly say, "If the King of Southwest wants someone, just take it away, the maid will never dare to complain. "
"You don't seem to hear this king's question clearly." Duan Baiyue was impatient, and his subordinates added three points.
"Yes." Caitian raised his head, not daring to move any further, "Old Mu Chi."
"Why did Tianshajiao arrest him?" Duan Baiyue asked again.
Caitian said: "Because the leader wants to make a hidden weapon, it is called Qianhuihuan, and the old man Muchi is the best craftsman in the world."
"Who else knows about this?" Duan Baiyue said.
Caitian replied, "Only Tiansha teaches people."
Duan Baiyue closed the knife and put it back into its sheath. Caitian didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was caught in the neck again, and he didn't know what was in his mouth, which instantly melted into a sweetness.
Duan Baiyue let go of her hand and threw her aside.
Caitian blushed and coughed desperately, trying to spit it out.
"It won't kill you." Duan Baiyue said, "After the last question, the last thing, this king will give you the antidote."
"What's the problem?" The Gu poison of the Southwest Mansion was only superior to that of the Heavenly Brahma, and Caitian did not dare to despise it.
Duan Baiyue said: "Why does Lan Ji want to make a thousand loops?"
Caitian said: "The sect master met a strange person who said that he had a miracle medicine that could rejuvenate a woman's skin. If you want a prescription, you have to exchange it with Qianhuihuan, and he said that there are people who know Qianhuihuan in this world. , it should only be the old wooden fool."
Duan Baiyue was a little surprised. He used to think that he was like a ghost wooden box and wanted to sell it to Nanyang to make money, but he didn't expect it was just for a prescription.
"The Yiren gave the leader half a year, and said that once he got Qianhuihuan, he would go to Wangcheng to find him." Caitian continued, "No name, no name, wearing a ghost mask, the skin on the left hand is as tender as a teenager, but the right hand is All over the ravines, like an old man."
"Pretend to be a ghost." Duan Baiyue shook his head.
"The sect leader only wants to ask for a prescription, but he doesn't know that Duan Wang also wants people." Caitian continued, "If he could have known earlier, the Tiansha Cult would have decided not to overdo his abilities and rob people under the nose of the Southwest House. ."
"Won't you overestimate your own strength?" Duan Baiyue laughed, "When Lan Ji robbed Yaoer, she didn't see such self-consciousness."
Caitian language is blocked.
"It's useless no matter how nice it is." Duan Baiyue said, "Bring Lan Ji here, and I will spare you."
Caitian's expression changed greatly, apostate
"If you cooperate with this king, you just might die." Duan Baiyue said, "If you don't cooperate, life is better than death."
Caitian's face turned pale: "I also ask the King of Southwest not to be too hard on others."
"This is so funny." Duan Baiyue raised the corner of his mouth, "The most common thing in the Southwest House is to force people to do it. The more people don't want to do it, the more interesting it is to force it."
Caitian: "… "
"That set of Jianghu morality, martial arts, benevolence, no matter how much you say, it won't help." Duan Baiyue said, "If I were you, if I didn't want to cooperate and didn't want to suffer, I would jump off this cliff by myself, and it would be clean after a hundred. It's better than waiting a few days for the gu poison to attack my heart, and then I think about self-destruction, but it won't be that easy."
Caitian's hands trembled a little.
"Besides, you have an affair with Mr. Jing Hui behind Lan Ji's back. If you let her know, let alone a way to survive, even if it is a whole corpse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep one." Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.
Caitian was stabbed in the sore spot, and his chest heaved violently: "I will bring the sect master here, and ask the King of Southwest China to keep promises."
Duan Baiyue reminded: "Before dawn."
Caitian turned and ran down the mountain.
In Guiyun Village, Lan Ji was still meditating in the room when she heard someone jumping into the hospital. Previously, she thought it was Qi Zuimeng who didn't know what to do and came to seek pleasure, but when she opened the door, it was picking fields.
"What happened?" Lan Ji frowned when she saw her expression was different.
"Muslim Lord, something happened on the mountain." Caitian gasped for breath, "A fire broke out, and the wooden house was burnt down."
"What?" Lan Ji was furious when she heard the words, "Where are the disciples who were left behind?"
"I don't know if they were burned to death together in the wooden house, or they have left with the old man Muzhi apostate." Caitian said, "And there seems to be something strange in the ashes, the subordinates dare not act rashly, can the sect leader go to check it in person?"
"Bastard!" Lan Ji cursed fiercely without suspecting him, and left Guiyun Village with her, and went to the mountain to see what happened.
Getting closer and closer to the wooden house, Caitian's palms gradually broke out in cold sweat.
The smoke had not yet completely dissipated. Looking at the charred wooden rafters, Lan Ji couldn't help but quicken her pace, but Cai Tian took two steps back deliberately to distance herself from her.
The sky was already starting to light up, and the remaining ashes didn't look any different. Lan Ji turned around to ask what was going on, but a three-foot blade came in front of her.
"King of the Southwest!" Lan Ji flew out of the way, staggering under her feet, and almost fell in a panic.
Duan Baiyue made a sharp move, driving people to the cliff all the way.
When he met in the forest that day, with Duan Yao by his side, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy's carelessness. But this time, it was decided to take her life. Although the extermination of the Demon Sect is a matter of the Wulin League, it is inconvenient for the Southwest Prefecture to intervene, but since it has been provoked this time, it will not stop there, and there is also Guiyun. More than 20 elderly people in the village are waiting to be rescued.
Tiansha taught martial arts to the extreme, and when it was passed on to Lan Ji, it was even more sinister. At the beginning, she thought that the two of them would be tied at most, but she never thought that Duan Baiyue's moves would become more and more fierce with each other.
"You!" Trapped on the edge of the cliff by the throat, Lan Ji's eyes were full of horror.
"This is the Bodhi Heart Sutra you want." Duan Baiyue's eyes were red, "Yao'er has never practiced, you have always found the wrong person."
Lan Ji had difficulty breathing, and her eyes gradually became slack.
Duan Baiyue slammed her off the cliff with a slap in the chest.
"King of the Southwest." Seeing all this with his own eyes, Caitian "putong" knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff. Although she knows the Bodhi Heart Sutra, she only regards it as an extremely mysterious secret, but looking at Duan Baiyue's stunned appearance, I am afraid that it is not an orthodox kung fu, but a half-step into the evil way.
Duan Baiyue said indifferently: "It's good that I haven't seen it before."
"Thank you lord, thank lord." Caitian nodded again and again.
"The demon sect has done a lot of evil, you shouldn't have a way to survive." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that you can make up for it today. Go and bring those old people out, and someone will take you to the Southwest Palace to receive your punishment."
"Yes." Caitian stood up strong and went down the mountain with him.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that there was movement in Guiyun Village. Qi Zuimeng went out after washing up, thinking about going to find Lan Ji to be happy, but someone came to report that it was Caitian who had taken those old people out of the house. Lan Ji didn't know where she went, only the rest of the church members had not woken up and were still resting.
"Forget it, leave him alone." Qi Zuimeng had benefited from his teaching in Tiansha, so he was too lazy to care too much. He drank half of the jar with the wine in his arms, and then staggered to the wine cellar to make wine. It's just that until it was dark, Lan Ji and Cai Tian didn't come back, so they couldn't help muttering before going to bed, and they didn't know where they went.
One day and two days were fine, three days, four days, five days, six days without seeing anyone, Qi Zuimeng just woke up or something happened. He hurriedly summoned Tian Bra to teach the others to ask, but they all looked at each other in dismay.
But apparently no one would explain it to him.
Duan Baiyue took more than 20 old people back to Dayan City, and placed them in the post house temporarily.
Seeing him returning safely, Chu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Father-in-law Sixi also smiled and whispered, the emperor has mentioned the prince a dozen times in these days, and he took it to heart.
Duan Baiyue was in a good mood. After bathing, she changed her clothes and went to look for someone next door, but was told by Duan Nian that the emperor had gone to the government office, and it was estimated that it would take a while to return.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Nian also wanted to sigh for his own prince. He had changed his new clothes, but no one appreciated it. Thinking about it was cruel.
At this time, there was already a lot of buzz in the city, saying that the old man in the shantang did not die, but was stolen and replaced by the Southwest Demon Sect that night, and the living people were smuggled out of the city with the corpse that had been prepared.
Xu Zhiqiu naturally also heard the news, and was in a hurry in the full study. He is not afraid of being convicted for closing the case in confusion. After all, even Master Qingtianbao may not have never broken an unjust case, and at most he will be fined for one year, and he will be demoted to one level. However, these old people were kidnapped by Tianshajiao before, but now they were snatched back by the imperial court. What happened during the period, and whether the transaction between them and Lan Ji was leak-proof, no one can give any guarantee, and I don't know whether the emperor Knowing something, it is natural to be nervous.
It's just that before he could figure out what to do and find a good excuse, the Imperial Forest Army had already broken into the door, put on the shackles in three or two, and dragged it to Chu Yuan.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xu Zhiqiu shivered, his face ashen.
"Xu Aiqing." Chu Yuan said lightly, "The treasury on the mountain outside the city is going to be confiscated. Aiqing should have no opinion, right?"
Xu Zhiqiu fell to the ground, and was so frightened that he lost control.
The bright golden mountain was transported back to the city from outside the mountain, and the people were stunned. The tables, chairs, and benches made in the city over the years were probably less than one-tenth of the money. Where did these officials greedily get their money
After Wu's car dealership was raided, Boss Wu also knelt down and pleaded guilty. He was originally just a small trader, but he was caught by Xu Zhiqiu later. He couldn't stand the persuasion of two prefects in person, so he dared to start making ghost wooden boxes privately, and then hid them in the closet and sold them to firearms traders in Nanyang.
As for the drawings of the ghost wood box, it is said that Xu Zhiqiu spent a lot of money to buy it from a crazy old man. It is unknown who this person is.
"Crazy old man, could it be a wood idiot?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan nodded: "I am also thinking that apart from him, there should be no second person in this martial arts forest."
"Although there was a fire in the wooden house, I always feel that he may not be dead." Duan Baiyue said, "After taking the soft muscle powder and being guarded by disciples from Tiansha, it is impossible for the fire to start without any reason. It is possible that they were secretly robbed and set fire to others.”
Chu Yuan thought thoughtfully: "Well."
"Since I promised you to bring him back, I will definitely do it." Duan Baiyue said, "Give me some more time, eh?"
Chu Yuan returned to his senses and said, "Forget about the old man Mu Chi, this time the old man in the shantang can return safely, and it all depends on the Southwest House."
"Is it the Southwest House, or me?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan paused and said firmly, "Southwest Mansion."
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "Then if there is an imperial decree next time, remember to give it to the Southwest House, not to the King of Southwest China." He didn't answer it either.
Chu Yuan was very interested: "For Yao'er?"
"Yao'er will be scared to cry." Duan Baiyue also laughed along with him, reaching out to pour tea, but there was a hint of pain in his chest.
"What's the matter?" Chu Yuan just pretended he was still acting and stretched out his hand to push and push, "Seriously, who do you think would want to kidnap the old man Mu Chi?"
"Everyone in the world of hidden weapons wants it." Duan Baiyue forcibly swallowed the bloody breath in his mouth, "I'm not sure, and the other party is not weak at all."
"Well." Chu Yuan continued to think in a trance.
Duan Baiyue had a cold sweat on her back, so she stood up and said, "I'll go and see next door."
Chu Yuan nodded and watched him go out the door all the way. He reached out and poured a cup of tea before drinking it, but he heard Si Xi exclaimed from outside: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Duan Baiyue was pale, kneeling and squatting under the corridor, blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth, as if an ice blade had cut her heart.
Chu Yuan stepped forward to support him.
"It's okay." Duan Baiyue stood up strong, waved and swept away people, and stumbled into the room.
"Your Majesty." Four Xi hurriedly supported him, "Be careful of the steps behind you."
Chu Yuan reached out and patted the door hard: "Duan Baiyue!"
"You'll be fine after a short rest, just a little blood attacking the heart." Duan Baiyue sat down against the door, beads of sweat falling on his forehead.
"Open the door!" Chu Yuan was extremely angry.
Duan Baiyue raised her palm and pressed it on her chest, trying to return the retrograde true air pressure in her body. The Bodhicitta Heart Sutra is inherently evil, and I can’t practice it properly. It’s not uncommon to force exercise to do this, but I didn’t expect it to turn back so quickly, and it will take two or three months to say less.
Hearing that he had been refusing to leave behind the door, Chu Yuan simply shattered the window with a palm.
Father Sixi was taken aback, how could the emperor be so fierce.
Duan Baiyue had no choice but to let the wood scum flying all over the sky, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing the faint lines on his forehead, Chu Yuan didn't have time to ask any further questions. After helping him to the bed, he took another pill and gave him a pill.
Duan Baiyue said: "What?"
Chu Yuan gritted his teeth: "The top of the crane is red."
Duan Baiyue closed her eyes when she heard the words, pretended that she had ascended to heaven, and stuck out her tongue.
Chu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he held his wrist to test the pulse, and then let him lean on his arms and put his palm on his heart.
A little bit of True Qi was poured into the limbs and bones, and there was some warmth. Although it could not completely dispel the bone-piercing cold, it could relieve the pain a lot.
After about a stick of incense, Chu Yuan withdrew his palm: "How is it?"
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Thank you."
"What kind of kung fu did Senior Nan teach you?" Chu Yuan took his hand and looked at it. After confirming that the strange totems had dissipated, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Why is the internal injury so serious?"
Duan Baiyue said from the bottom of his heart: "No way, my father didn't find a good master." One pit is a lifetime.
"Is it serious?" Chu Yuan still frowned, "If this happens often, then I will send someone to Jiangnan to pick up Xiao Jin."
"It's not a disease, I'm afraid it's useless for a genius doctor." Duan Baiyue sat up with support, "It's better to drink more hot water."
Chu Yuan: "..."
"It's true." Duan Baiyue smiled, "I'm thirsty."
Chu Yuan had to ask Sixi to come in with tea.
Duan Baiyue drank most of the pot in one breath, and there was blood on his face.
Chu Yuan took the handkerchief on the side and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: "Do you want to take a bath?"
Duan Baiyue nodded.
After a while, a large bucket of hot water was brought in, and Chu Yuan temporarily returned to the next door.
"Your Majesty, is he all right?" Father Sixi asked worriedly.
"It should be fine, just take a little more rest." Chu Yuan thought about it for a while, "I wrote a letter, and you asked me to send it to Jiangnan Sun Moon Villa to Shen Qianfeng without delay."
Sixi promised to rush to help him polish the ink.
Duan Baiyue soaked in the tub, and it took a long time to recover.
Duan Nian lifted two tiles and jumped down from above.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"My subordinates will deliver medicine to the prince." Duan Nian said.
Duan Baiyue was confused: "What medicine?"
"My subordinates don't know either." Duan Nian opened a cloth bag, "Master Nan just sent someone to deliver it, saying that it was added to the water when bathing, okay!"
Duan Baiyue: "..."
What is "good" is too general.
Duan Nian has already opened the cork.
"Wait!" Duan Baiyue grabbed his hand.
Duan Nian insisted: "Master Nan said, be sure to add it."
Duan Baiyue sniffed at the tip of her nose.
Duan Nian continued, "Master Nan also said that if the prince refuses to add it, then eating it is the same."
Duan Baiyue resolutely plugged the stopper.
Duan Nian was embarrassed: "Master Nan will kill his subordinates."
Duan Baiyue squinted: "This king can't kill you?"
Duan Nian suddenly had a bitter face.
"Retreat." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Nian walked to the window and turned back, saying, "There is one more thing."
"One more word, this bottle of medicine will be taken by you." Duan Baiyue shook the porcelain bottle in his hand.
Duan Nian said: "If the prince was willing to pretend to be weak, maybe the emperor would be able to stay."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Nian hugged his head and got out of the window.
Duan Baiyue leaned back against the wall of the barrel again, wondering if she was recovering too quickly.
After all, as the saying goes, there are many lovers in front of a long-sick bed.
But after thinking about it, after taking a bath, Duan Baiyue dressed up and went to the next door.
He really didn't want that person to worry, and he really didn't want that person to feel that he was sick and crooked.
Chu Yuan frowned: "Why don't you rest?"
Duan Baiyue's tone was relaxed: "It is common for people who practice martial arts to be unable to suppress their internal strength three times or two times, so don't worry about it."
Chu Yuan said: "That's more or less sick." Fenghan still has to lie down for two days.
"One thing, I'll go to rest after I say it." Duan Baiyue said, "About Qianhuihuan, it sounds like a great weapon, even better than the ghost wood box."
"So what?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "Now Mu Chi's life is uncertain, I'm afraid that before he appears, this thousand loops can only be a secret forever."
Duan Baiyue smiled: "There is another person, although he can't do it, he must know the mystery."
Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, "The buyer taught by Tiansha?"
"It's him." Duan Baiyue said: "Since you are willing to buy it, it means that you at least know what this thing is used for. According to Tiansha, he should be in the king's city at this time."
Chu Yuan said: "Oh."
The house is very quiet.
After a while, Duan Baiyue continued to ask, "Which lord should I report to when the King of Southwest is going to the King City?"
Chu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Have you allowed you to enter Beijing?"
"If I'm allowed, I'll go upright, or if I'm not, I'll go sneakily." Duan Baiyue supported her cheeks, and her tone was a bit rogue, "It's not that I didn't resist the order before."
"Dare to say it." Chu Yuan tapped him on the head, "It's okay to go to Wangcheng, but it's all right for your injury? Or go back to the Southwest Mansion to find Master Nan for healing, and it's not too late to come again."
"Trust me." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "If you wait for it to heal on its own, it may be faster."
Chu Yuan was stunned for a while, then his ears turned red and he pulled his hand back.
Duan Baiyue looked out the window calmly: "You want to call Sixi again?"
Chu Yuan's words reached his mouth, and he had to swallow it back.
Duan Baiyue smiled even more in his eyes.
Chu Yuan became angry and threw his hands out.
Father Sixi complained in his heart, why did the King of Southwest always flirt with the emperor, it made him blush, and he was afraid that only vegetables were eaten at night.
Three days later, the Royal Forest Army returned in a mighty way, heading north all the way.
After a while, a letter was also received in the Southwest Palace. After reading it, Duan Yao hugged Aunt Jin and didn't let go. Why did she go to Wangcheng again? I won't go, I want to raise worms in the palace!
Nan Mo Xie couldn't wait, Xi Dian Dian packed up his burden, knocked out the crying little apprentice with another palm, and took him all the way out of the city.
Aunt Jin was worried at the back, Master Nan could not do it, he didn't even need a carriage, he just carried it and left.
By the time the army arrived in the royal city, it was already hot summer. Duan Baiyue lives in an inn near the imperial palace, and the Golden Palace can be seen from the roof.
The stacks in the imperial study could be as tall as one person. Although there was a grand master leading the ministers to discuss some matters, only the emperor could make a decision when he came back. Fortunately, Chu Yuan was used to being diligent, and he didn't even take a day off when he came back, so he started to process the backlog in batches, and he could not return to the bedroom until late at night every day.
Tao Rende looked at it, and his worries dissipated. The emperor is fine with everything, but he really likes to run out too much. It’s fine a few times before, but this time I went to Dayan City for no reason. Even if I knew about Xu Zhiqiu’s private embezzlement of Jinshan, it would be good to send an imperial dispatch there, why would I go there in person.
Mr. Liu is very happy, because the return of the emperor means that he has less chores in his hands, just to talk about a few more media.
"Old Liu." Mrs. Tao had a headache when she saw him, "General Shen said he didn't want to, so your niece can't marry someone else?"
"This time it's not for General Shen." Liu Dajiong said, "I wonder if Master Taifu has ever heard of Sai Panan?"
Master Tao said in disgust, "What kind of bad name is this?"
"The name is a bit rotten, but it is said that it is very good-looking." Liu Dajiong was beaming, "Today, there will be a ring in the king's city. Master Taifu, would you like to come and have a look?"
