"More than ten years ago, the people of the Chaoya clan once visited the palace." Duan Baiyue said, "Do you know what the Lord Jing is for?"
Jing Liutian shook his head: "I would like to hear the details."
"I don't know either, but I heard that when they left, these Chaoya people asked for a lot of gold and silver jewelry from Emperor Chu." Duan Baiyue said, "If the island is really full of gold, why should you care about these things? ?"
Jing Liutian said: "greed is endless."
"It's hard to say whether people are greedy or not, but there are always reasonable and unreasonable differences in what people do." Duan Baiyue said, "If the Chaoya people really have Jinshan, then one more box and one less box won't make much difference. You have traveled all the way to the palace to do things for Emperor Chu, but only to bring back two boxes of dispensable gold, it is better not to want anything, and to gain a high reputation, so that you can ask for other favors in the future."
Jing Liutian frowned: "Your Highness means that the younger brother lied?"
"This sentence was said by the master of Jing." Duan Baiyue smiled. "This king is only making a guess. As for whether it is true or false, I am afraid that only the master of Jing can tell the difference."
Jing Liutian was thoughtful when he heard the words.
"How is Yu Shu as a person?" Duan Baiyue poured himself a glass of wine.
"Good or bad, I am afraid that 80% of the officials of the Great Chu are like him." Jing Liutian said, "Some greedy, no serious evil, will collude with the squires to do some shameful deeds, and will also pave the way for the common people. The bridge solves the case and delivers food."
"Where are the Chaoya people?" Duan Baiyue asked, "Where did they go?"
Jing Liutian said: "At the beginning, Yu Shu said that this group of people was a witch and wanted to kill without mercy. Feiluanlou collected money to do errands, and notified many people in the rivers and lakes. Jin, there is not even a news recently, and it is estimated that he has escaped.
"Where are you fleeing to?" Duan Baiyue asked again, "South or North?"
"Go north." Jing Liutian replied, "It's hard to say why Yu Shu died. But it shouldn't be done by the Chaoya people. They are not very skilled except for their ability to confuse people. Yu Shuhuo The wound in the room was deep, and the throat was sealed with a sword. The time of death was in the afternoon. The family patrolling in the courtyard only had time to see the dark shadow flashing in front of him. The concubine in the study began to scream, and when the door was broken , Yu Shu has died sitting in the chair."
"There is a concubine in the study?" Duan Baiyue touched her chin.
"It's a girl brought back from the brothel in Wangcheng, her name is Cuigu." Jing Liutian said, "I don't have a background, and her appearance is mediocre, but her voice is melodious, and Yu Shu will spend money to redeem people because of this."
"As the owner of Jing, there should be no problem in intervening in the investigation." Duan Baiyue said, "Can I ask the concubine a few questions for this king?"
"Naturally." Jing Liutian nodded.
The two hadn't finished drinking a pot of wine, but the servant came to report again, saying that someone asked to see him, claiming that the little boy in the family was in trouble.
"Little son?" Jing Liutian looked at Duan Baiyue.
After going out, the person who came was really Duan Nian.
"What happened?" Duan Baiyue frowned, "Why are you the only one, Yao'er?"
"Back to the prince, the little prince ran away with someone." Duan Nian was out of breath.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Running away with someone? "
"In the evening, the little prince wanted to eat fresh water, so we went to find a restaurant." Duan Nian said, "It happened to meet the people from Riyue Villa there, and the little prince had a great conversation with them. The people are already gone." I asked Xiao Er, only to say that he was out of the city, and he chased after ten miles on his horse, but he didn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to come back and report.
"Really from Sun Moon Villa?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Before Duan Nian could speak, Jing Liutian said from the side, "I heard that Young Master Shen sent some people to Luozhou. If you want to go back to Riyue Villa, you should pass here. Besides, Cangnan Prefecture is Feiluan. No one should be bold enough to pretend to be Riyue Villa on the site of the building.”
"If that's the case, then let him go." Duan Baiyue said, "If you've had enough, you'll come back naturally. If you haven't played enough, go all the way to Jiangnan, and the Shen family shouldn't be stingy with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice."
Jing Liutian burst into laughter: "Your Highness can do business."
Duan Nian was full of sorrow and nodded his head.
On the other end of the mountain road, the Sun and Moon Villa Anguard is stretching his finger: "This is the direction. When we entered the city that day, we saw people in black walking up the mountain, but we didn't think too much about it. If we had known it was Chaoya One family, they followed."
"Thank you." Duan Yao said, "I'll take a look."
"Little lord, let's wait until the day." An guard said, "There are many dangers in this place. It is said that the nine ghosts go down the mountain, but it is not really haunted, but the mountain road is too slippery and muddy, and there are falling rocks. If you go alone at night, I am afraid there will be some Danger."
"It's okay." Duan Yao was stubborn, "If you delay another day, I don't know where to go to find it."
It's hard to find clues.
The dark guards of Sun Moon Villa looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, but couldn't resist him, so they had to protect him and walk into the mountains together - otherwise, if they were injured, it would be really difficult to explain to the Southwest House.
There was a gloomy wind blowing in the mountains, and it was really creepy to listen to the cry of the child. Seeing Duan Yao walking forward without saying a word, all the guards of Sun Moon Villa had a headache, not to mention that the nine ghosts descended the mountain very wide, just in the middle of the night, his eyes were darkened, and he wanted to find them with just a few torches. man, it is simply impossible.
"Cuck!" Purple Toad called in his arms.
Sun and Moon Villa Dark Guard: "..."
what the hell.
Duan Yao's pace accelerated.
"Quack quack!" Purple Toad called out happily.
After a while, rustling sounds came from both sides of the road, and dozens of snakes crawled out in the blink of an eye, in red, white, black and green.
"Don't hurt them." Duan Yao turned back and urged.
The dark guard of Sun Moon Villa had no choice but to insert the drawn sword back again.
The little bug buzzed and flew on the top of his head, and quickly circled into a black fog dragon, not afraid of encountering torches. All the insects along the way seemed to be awakened from a dream, and walked forward aggressively with them.
Looking at the colorful bugs around Duan Yao, the dark guard of Riyue Villa got goosebumps. Compared with this, the Gu worms that Ye Guzhu had raised in the villa were really nothing to see. It is said that the Southwest Mansion is a poisonous worm's nest. I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it.
The sound of the insects grew louder and louder, and at the end, the whole mountain became lively.
When everyone climbed to the highest rock, Duan Yao put the purple toad into a small pocket and said, "Look around, there should be firelight soon, be careful not to hurt anyone, and also be careful of their tides. Cliff Fan Sound."
The Sun and Moon Villa Dark Guard nodded, split his head and looked in all directions.
"There!" Someone soon found the fire, like a water stream in the mountains.
"Go!" Duan Yao immediately ran down the mountain.
Countless worms buzzed and burrowed into the cave, and poisonous snakes hissed. The woman in black held the baby in her arms, her eyes full of panic. More than a dozen men in black surrounded her, holding torches in their hands, constantly dispersing the snakes, insects, rats and ants that came up.
"There are too many poisonous insects here, there is no need to fight recklessly." The woman said anxiously, "Let's go."
"Let's go? Those dog thieves in the government office are still waiting to kill people." One of the men said fiercely, "I don't know which evil sect it is. With this kind of rude method, don't panic, we will definitely protect you. You and Xiao Nan go to the royal city to see the Emperor Chu, and ask him for his blessings and blessings."
The little baby was startled and began to cry loudly, especially in the dark. The woman hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear of attracting pursuers.
Duan Yao jumped down from above, and there were seven or eight secret guards of Sun Moon Villa.
The woman was so panicked that she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, eldest sister." Duan Yao said quickly, "We are not bad people."
"Bah, you evil thieves who see money, who is going to offer a reward to kill us?"
"I also want to know who is going to kill you." Duan Yao spread his hands, "So why don't you go back to the inn and talk slowly?"
"You made these poisonous insects?" the man asked impatiently. "Who are you?"
Duan Yao did not answer the question, but pointed backwards and said, "This is the person from Riyue Villa, Riyue Villa, have you heard of it?" The most righteous one in the world.
"You are Ye Guzhu?" The man was suspicious.
Duan Yao quickly shook her head: "I'm not." That genius doctor was very fierce, who would pretend to be.
"The young master is a friend of the second young master of my family." The dark guard of Sun Moon Villa explained, "We also met on the way, so we will accompany him to the mountains to find everyone. These poisonous insects are the best choice, not out of embarrassment. If it's not like this, the adults don't care, the humidity in this mountain is heavy, and the little baby will stay for a long time, and I'm afraid that the root of the disease will fall."
"What do you want us to do?" the man continued to ask.
Duan Yao said, "I don't know."
Man: "… "
The little baby stopped crying this time, biting her fingers and looking at the people around her.
Duan Yao said, "It's the emperor who is looking for you."
"Emperor Chu?" The man was stunned at first, but then became suspicious.
Duan Yao said: "What do I do to lie to you, I am also doing things for others. Yu Shu is dead outside, and I don't know who killed him. Even if it is to solve the case, someone will come to search the mountain sooner or later. You really don't leave. ?"
"Yu Shu is dead?" The man in black was overjoyed.
Duan Yao said: "I was killed by a sword, and now people are saying that it was because I offended you."
"Offended us?" The man in black laughed angrily, "If there is a way to kill him, why would we be so embarrassed."
"So out of the mountain?" Duan Yao yawned, "My brother is here too. The emperor ordered him to investigate this matter thoroughly. He is in the city at this time, and he is not with that Yu Shu."
"Why should we trust you?" the woman asked sharply.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but if you don't believe it, we'll have to knock you out and take you out." Duan Yao said, "It will take a lot of effort, and it will hurt the peace. If you can, try not to. As for Chaoya fans. Yin, Riyue Villa is a person who has practiced the Yueyang Heart Method, I am afraid that even if you sing, it will be useless."
As soon as the voice fell, someone hummed softly.
Sun Moon Villa Anwei really didn't respond, but Duan Yao quickly reached out and covered his ears, because it was really unpleasant.
Among the rivers and lakes, the only internal method that can keep the three realms and six desires out of the body is indeed only Yueyang. The man in black at Chaoya looked like he believed a lot.
"Let's go." Duan Yao said, "Otherwise, it should be dawn, and then there will be trouble again."
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Sun Moon Villa's dark guard had no choice but to say: "At least go with us alone, and after confirming that what you said is true, you can come and pick up your companions."
"I'll go with you." The woman handed the baby in her arms to one of the men in black.
"Saint Aunt." The man discouraged, "How can I make Saint Aunt take risks? Let me, Si, go with me."
"It's up to you, and there's no need to rob it." Duan Yao said, "When the doubts are cleared up, the rest will enter the city."
The woman nodded, there were still doubts in her eyes, but she had nothing to do: "Alright."
"Let's go." Duan Yao jumped up the mountain road, patted the soil and walked forward. The man named Ah Si also followed behind. The dark guard of Riyue Mountain Villa accompanied the rest of the Chaoya people, waiting in the cave.
Duan Yao didn't speak all the way, and didn't like these people very much—perhaps after being chased and killed for a long time, she became a little too vigilant and careful, everyone was looking fierce, even the woman was the same. of. As an outsider, I naturally have no right to say more about this, but I am too lazy to communicate any more, I just want to bring people to his brother quickly.
There were very few people in the city, and Duan Yao was good at Qinggong, so he quickly took him back to the inn.
Ah Si slammed the wall hard, and looked at Duan Yao with a lot of murder in his eyes.
Duan Yao was even more sure that this group of people was sick - Qinggong was so bad, she kindly brought him back, and looked like she had been greatly insulted.
Duan Baiyue heard the movement and got up to open the door.
Duan Yao was relieved: "Hurry up, bring the person you want into the room."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Ah Si looked at him warily.
It's that undead look again... Duan Yao turned around and walked to his room. It's none of his business, so it's better to wash up and sleep earlier.
Duan Baiyue took him from the collar: "Don't plan to explain?"
"What else is there to explain, you can see it by looking at it." Duan Yao said, "This is the Chaoya clansman you are looking for. I found it in the mountains with the Sun and Moon Villa Anguard. They don't believe me, only willing to First send one person to come back to see, the rest are in the mountains, about ten men, one woman, and a little baby in their arms."
Duan Baiyue laughed: "You do things very fast."
"That is, everyone is like you, and only knows how to climb relatives with the landlord Feiluan." Duan Yao stretched.
Ah Si's expression changed and he pulled out his sword: "Are you with that Jing Liutian?"
Duan Yao: "…"
"It's not a group, but we did drink together." Duan Baiyue replied.
"Bah, don't think we don't know, that Jing Liutian is the one who ordered to hunt us down, and it's not a good thing." Ah Si kicked over the neatly arranged incense burners in the corridor and slashed at another one. A door - thankfully no one lives in it, otherwise it would be scary.
Duan Yao sighed when he saw it. If he wanted to cut him, he would also cut his brother. What did he do to cut the door? You bullied the door and won't fight back, or your eyes are not good.
"It is said that the Chaoya people are independent from the world. Now it seems that people still have to go out and move around more, at least they will not be short-sighted." Duan Baiyue shook his head, "What did the master Feiluan kill you for? Feiluanlou bought Chaoya's life. I drank with the owner of Jingjing, also to find out the reason, so that we can get you out of the whirlpool. I figured it out, but yelling here, don't you feel blush?"
Ah Si said ruthlessly: "Speak well when you speak, and don't want to spit feces and insult my clan!"
"Besides, if I really want to kill you, do I need to say so much nonsense?" Duan Baiyue's tone was slightly cold.
Duan Yao was very relieved, if it was his brother, he didn't seem to dislike him very much.
"What are you trying to do with us?" Ah Si was blocked by him and didn't know how to argue, so he asked fiercely.
"Go get him a broom." Duan Baiyue said, "Sweep up these incense ashes that you inexplicably kicked over, and then get down to business."
Duan Yao jumped downstairs and quickly ran back with a broom and dustpan.
"I won't sweep it, let Xiao Er do it, otherwise what do you want him to do, this inn is not yours!" Si Yi sat on the ground, "If you want the government to kill me, don't let me Enter the room!"
"Yao'er." Duan Baiyue said coldly, "Go to the government and say we caught someone, but they were accidentally poisoned to death."
"Okay!" Duan Yao turned around and jumped downstairs.
"Cut." Ah Si was full of disdain.
Duan Baiyue squeezed his chin and poured a bottle of medicine into it.
Ah Si still looked indifferent.
Duan Baiyue carried him into the empty room next door and closed the door with his backhand.
Ah Si sneered: "Don't let Lao Tzu sweep the floor?"
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm afraid you will die."
Ah Si snorted lightly, and just reached out and picked up the teapot to pour tea, but felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
As if his intestines were cut by a sharp blade, Ah Si knelt on the ground, his eyes blood red.
"It won't take long." Duan Baiyue said, "It's only half an hour, and you will be able to see the King of Hell after getting through it."
Ah Si gasped with his mouth open.
"What this king hates most in this life is you who are both ignorant and arrogant, have no self-cultivation in speech and behavior, have no gratitude, and make trouble for others and take it for granted." Duan Baiyue said, "If you are interested, take advantage of it. Now that you can still move, go outside to pack up, and come back to get the antidote!" Ah Si almost crawled out.
Duan Baiyue shook his head, if possible, he didn't want Chu Yuan to see this group of people at all.
After a full cup of tea, Ah Si crawled in and his lips were blue and dry: "An antidote."
Duan Baiyue didn't embarrass him this time.
Ah Si drank the contents of the small bottle and sat on the ground gasping for breath, before taking a long breath.
Duan Baiyue asked: "Can you say it?"
Ah Si's eyes were unwilling: "What do you want to know?"
"What happened to Chaoya?" Duan Baiyue said, "Also, why are you going north to enter the palace?"
"Emperor Chu knows we are in trouble?" Ah Si asked.
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I guessed it."
"The whole island is dead." Ah Si said, "We are the only ones left."
"For what?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ah Si said: "Jinshan."
Duan Baiyue smiled: "I still need to save face this time? Judging from your words and demeanor, it doesn't look like you have a golden mountain."
Ah Si: "..."
"Emperor Chu wanted to find you, just because of curiosity. He also remembered that he had seen it in the palace and heard that the local government was chasing and killing Chaoya people, so he sent people out to take a look." Duan Baiyue said, "I advise Your Excellency, it is best not to take yourself too important, because you really are not important."
Ah Si was pierced again, and his face became even redder.
Duan Baiyue asked, "You still don't plan to tell the truth?"
Ah Si said bitterly, "In order to compete for money."
"That's right." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Tell me everything one by one, even if this king doesn't like you, it can keep you going all the way to the king's city, and you don't have to be displaced by this. The pain of chasing and killing is a good deal."
