As Duan Baiyue had previously expected, Chaoya Island is indeed not a golden island. If the ancestors have accumulated some wealth, after more than a hundred years, they have already been squandered by future generations. The island is no more inland. As long as there is land, food can be produced. The Chaoya people have high self-esteem and refuse to rely on the sea to make a living like other islands. Therefore, in order to make a living, they have to go out of the island secretly. The men rely on With some methods of health preservation handed down from the ancestors, she treats the doctor for others, while the woman earns money by being a singer with a tactful voice, so she can barely solve her livelihood.
"When you come out and make enough money, then go back?" Duan Baiyue asked, "Then why don't you just stay in the Chu country?" Singing tourists, life can be more enjoyable than on the island, why do you need to stay on a deserted island.
Ah Si said: "The Chaoya people will not leave their homeland easily."
"Then why did you leave this time?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ah Si's eyes were filled with resentment: "The island is divided into two factions. In order to expel the rest from the island, one faction colluded with gangsters from Nanyang and brought them to the island to kill them. Who knows that the gang of gangsters have evil intentions and don't care at all. Exactly which faction the people on the island are, they cut and slaughtered those alive when they saw them, and in the end, only the few of us were left, hiding in a dilapidated boat, only to save our lives and escaped in the dark."
"What is the identity of the bandit from Nanyang?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ah Si shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then the entire Chaoya Island should have been occupied by Nanyang bandits now?" Duan Baiyue thought thoughtfully.
Ah Si said: "It should be, but we fled in a panic and didn't care."
"Why is Yu Shu offering a reward to hunt you down again?" Duan Baiyue continued to ask.
"It should also be with the Nanyang robbers." Ah Si said, "The robbers want to destroy the entire island of Chaoya without leaving any survivors, and I don't know where they got the news, but they were able to find out our whereabouts. ."
"For the sake of your cooperation, let's ask the last question of the day, and then you can have a full meal and rest." Duan Baiyue said, "What is the relationship between Burning Star and Chaoya? Will it suddenly glow?"
"Fen Xing is in your hands?" Ah Si was shocked.
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "I just heard the rumors."
A Si breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fengxing is a sacred artifact of Chaoya, but we have never seen it before, and we don't even know about it."
Duan Baiyue smiled and stood up from the table: "Very good, you can stay. As for the rest of your companions, do you want to bring them back together?"
Ah Si Dao: "Nature"
Duan Baiyue called Duan Nian and instructed him to go to the mountains to pick up the rest in secret with Ah Si. After the two left, Duan Yao showed one eye from the crack of the door and asked, "How is it?"
"Maybe the truth was told, but most of it was a lie, or only half of the truth was told." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao tsk tsk: "I just said, these people can't be trusted."
"But at least the Chaoya people. They are the people who have the most relationship with Fen Xing in this world." Duan Baiyue said, "It's always a good thing to be able to find them. Bring them back to Wangcheng first."
"General Shen wants it?" Duan Yao asked meaningfully.
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "It's what Emperor Chu wants."
The same, the Emperor Chu will leave the matter to General Shen, and General Shen will leave it to you. Duan Yao smiled brightly, brother, come on, the Southwest House can hold a happy event at any time, Aunt Jin has already made up the red silk and satin, the material is precious!
"What's your expression?" Duan Baiyue knocked on his head, "Go to sleep."
"No reward?" Duan Yao was dissatisfied, and at least he had made a contribution.
Duan Baiyue laughed: "What do you want?"
Duan Yao immediately lit up: "Bodhi Heart Sutra!"
Duan Baiyue shook his head.
"At least let me see." Duan Yao hugged his brother's thigh.
Duan Baiyue said: "Kung fu that hurts people, I don't let you know that it is for your own good."
"Liar, if it really hurts people, how could Master let you practice?" Duan Yao didn't believe it.
"I practice for healing." Duan Baiyue squatted on the ground and reached out and patted his cheek, "Maybe one day, I can come up with a way to restrain the Bodhi Heart Sutra, and I will teach you at that time."
Duan Yao pouted and came again.
"Besides, believe it or not, I really haven't practiced for a long time." Duan Baiyue pulled him to stand up, "but you did have great achievements today, and you are indeed worthy of the reward."
Duan Yao asked, "So?" Silver notes are also acceptable.
Duan Baiyue said: "The Bodhi Heart Sutra can't be given to you, but the Cloud Splitting Knife can."
"Shattering Cloud Knife?" Duan Yao was taken aback, "That's your weapon."
"You are more suitable for it than me." Duan Baiyue untied the saber from his waist and handed it over. "It is fifteen years old and almost sixteen, so it is more than enough to take it."
"I don't want it." Duan Yao shook his head again and again, "I don't want any reward, it was left to you by the father, take it back quickly."
"Father gave it to me because you were still young at the time." Duan Baiyue said, "The Cloud Splitting Saber is light and airy, and it is perfect for you."
"What about you?" Duan Yao asked.
Duan Baiyue took out a blunt sword from the room.
Duan Yao: "..."
"How?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Duan Yao asked, "Is this the piece of broken iron that Master told you before he died last time to bury it in the ground for a few years before taking it out?"
Duan Baiyue nodded.
"Trust me, this is really a piece of broken iron." Duan Yao said bitterly, "Even if you polish it with sandpaper, it will only be a brighter piece of broken iron at most."
Duan Baiyue laughed and handed the Cloud Splitting Blade to him: "Take it well."
Duan Yao was in a complicated mood.
"Okay, go to sleep." Duan Baiyue patted his head and turned back to the bedroom.
Duan Yao held the Cloud Splitting Saber for a while before climbing into the bed by herself.
I really wanted this knife when I was a child, but my brother has been carrying it with him for so many years, but he said he would give it to himself... After thinking about it, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up from the bed again, pulled out the blade and watched it under the candlelight for most of the night.
In the second half of the night, Duan Nian also brought the others back. The dark guards of Riyue Villa secretly escorted him all the way, and did not leave until it was confirmed that they had arrived safely. Fortunately, Duan Baiyue packaged the entire inn, so it was more than enough to accommodate seven or eight people.
After such a toss, the sky was already slightly bright outside. The group of Chaoya people had been hiding in Tibet before, and they hardly slept all night. They were finally taken back to the inn by the people of the Emperor Chu, and they didn't care about anything else. Didn't wake up at noon.
Duan Baiyue didn't rush, and went to Feiluan Building alone.
"I heard that the lord has found the group of Chaoya people?" Jing Liutian asked.
"Jinglou is really well-informed." Duan Baiyue smiled, "But now that people are in the hands of this king, it is not an easy thing for someone to want their lives."
Jing Liutian said: "The rules of the rivers and lakes, even if the buyer dies, the things entrusted during his lifetime must be done the same."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "This king naturally knows that he is here to tell the owner of Jingjing that he is in my hands, that's all. As for whether to release this news or not, how to release it depends on whether the owner of Jingjing likes it."
Jing Liutian smiled and said, "Your Highness is a bright person."
"I have something important to do. I said earlier that I want to investigate Yu Shu's affairs, but I'm afraid that this king can't do it himself." Duan Baiyue said: "But since I have agreed to Master Jing, this king will naturally leave people to assist Feiluanlou in doing things. ."
Jing Liutian nodded: "Thank you, my lord, and I will send you off not far."
Duan Baiyue turned and left, and Jing Liutian beckoned to call his confidant until he saw his back disappear on the street corner.
So that afternoon, people from all walks of life learned another news - that group of Chaoya wizards had been robbed and headed north to Wangcheng. As for how long the first step is, there is no detailed explanation.
For a while, the official road was smoky, and everyone ran north. Even if Yu Shu was dead, the gold was paid to Feiluan Lou one step ahead, and the transaction was still done.
And it wasn't until three days later that Duan Baiyue brought the people and horses all the way back to the king city from the small road. Although it took a few more days on the road, it was calm and no trouble was encountered. Only the little baby would cry from time to time, and the woman had no milk to feed. Fortunately, Duan Yao was good-natured and sweet-mouthed. She searched for rice paste milk in various villages along the way to feed her reluctantly.
It was late at night when they arrived in the royal city. Duan Baiyue first settled everyone in the inn. The woman was dissatisfied and said, "Why don't you let us enter the palace?"
"In the middle of the night, do you have any great news in your hands that can get the Emperor Chu to get up from the bed once?" Duan Baiyue asked.
The woman first wanted to speak, but she swallowed it.
Duan Baiyue smiled, went to the next door to take a shower, changed her clothes, and just went out.
Duan Yao leaned against the door, tsk tsk tsk.
Duan Baiyue slapped him on the head, went down the stairs and went straight to the palace.
Chu Yuan was reading a book in the bedroom and didn't feel sleepy. Si Xi had already gone back to rest, only the occasional footsteps of the guards patrolled, making the surroundings even more silent.
Duan Baiyue fell into the hospital with familiarity and familiarity - over the wall, you will be familiar with it after doing it a few more times.
Chu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Duan Baiyue reached out and pushed open the door.
Chu Yuan turned his head to look at him.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "I'm back."
"...So fast." It was really surprising that Chu Yuan took a long time to speak.
"You think it's fast, but I think it's slow." Duan Baiyue stepped forward and sat beside the bed. "The group of Chaoya people have been found. They're at the Yuelai Inn. I'll bring it to you tomorrow night."
"Why tomorrow night, bring it tonight." Chu Yuan stepped on his shoes and wanted to get out of bed, but Duan Baiyue held his bare ankles.
…
Chu Yuan slashed with a palm.
Duan Baiyue didn't hide, and stuffed his feet back into the quilt: "I haven't seen each other for so long, and you have nothing to say to me?"
Chu Yuan sat in the corner with the quilt: "No."
There was some cold wind in the room, Duan Baiyue stood up and wanted to close the window, but she was stunned when she walked over: "Where's the plum blossom?"
Chu Yuan said: "I dug it."
Duan Baiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm wronged this time. I didn't do anything, why did I dig it up again."
Chu Yuan looked up at the top of the bed.
If you want to dig, you can dig, you control me.
You take care of me!
