Sikong Rui said, "What does this mean?"
"In the hands of one of the bronze figures, there is a red agate." Chu Xiang said, "If you can capture it within half an hour, you will win."
Sikong Rui suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a formation."
Chu Xiang said: "This formation is quite dangerous, Xiongtai is better to be careful."
Duan Baiyue said: "If I can break through the formation, can I go to Xingzhou?"
"It's not just Xingzhou." Chu Xiang said, "If you can break through this formation, you will have countless glory and wealth in the future, a small Xingzhou Island, Xiongtai can see it, but I can't see it. "
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay."
The rest of the people stepped back, and Duan Baiyue walked into the Eight Desolate Formation alone with his bare hands.
Chu Xiang pressed the button, and the bronze statue slowly moved along the ground track as if it had life. The head of the bronze statue suddenly waved its arm, Duan Baiyue dodged, and the left hand of the bronze statue slammed into the wall, and the dust fell, even under his feet. The ground is also trembling faintly.
Sikong Rui covered his mouth and coughed, and said with great concern, "Is this cave really not going to collapse?"
Chu Xiang ignored him, but kept staring at Duan Baiyue.
The reason why the Eight Desolate Formation was difficult to break through was not because of how fast the bronze figures moved, but because the entire formation suddenly seemed to be extremely chaotic, with almost no rules at all, but there were secret formulas hidden in it. The person under siege may be able to cope with it reluctantly at first, but after a long time, it is like being intoxicated, his legs and feet are weak, and his mind is in a trance, and it is easy to reveal flaws.
Sikong Rui looked at it for a while, then closed his eyes suddenly, and began to feel restless for no reason.
The corner of Chu Xiang's mouth raised slightly, and said, "If it's uncomfortable, it's better to go out and wait."
Sikong Rui took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes again, and said, "I'm laughing."
"When your Excellency first saw this formation, you are already considered a master when you can stare at a cup of tea." Chu Xiang said, "It's just a bit inferior to your friend."
During the conversation, the dagger in Duan Baiyue's hand flashed coldly, and it actually cut off the bronze man's wrist. A red agate was shaken into the air, and Duan Baiyue flew up and put it firmly in the palm of his hand.
Chu Xiang was overjoyed: "Good work!"
Duan Baiyue jumped out of the Eight Desolate Formation and said, "Concession."
"You are the first person in history to be able to crack this bronze man formation with ease." Chu Xiang said, "The Central Plains martial arts have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, so that these masters have been unknown, and I almost missed a chance. General."
"I've won the prize." Duan Baiyue said, "I don't want to mention the past, I just want to be able to eat in the future."
"This statement is too self-effacing." Chu Xiang shook his head, "Your Excellency will take a break for two days in Lijing Kingdom, and you don't have to go to Xingzhou Island after two days, and go with me to another place to discuss important matters. "
Duan Baiyue's voice was still calm, and she only said, "Okay."
Sikong Rui tutted in his heart, all these years from childhood to adulthood, it can be regarded as seeing him go back to shit luck.
After returning to the inn, Sikong Rui took the price negotiated earlier and went to Xiaofeiluan to pay the money, but Jing Liuhuan smiled and said, "The employer has already paid me three times the price during the day, so you don't have to spend any more. already."
"How to make this happen." Si Kongrui hurriedly put the bank note back into his sleeve while being polite, and he didn't really want to give it.
Jing Liuhuan said: "I just hope that if that brother becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget me, this little Feiluan."
"Naturally." Si Kongrui smiled all over his face, thinking that if you count your fate, it's actually useful. Then don't arrest him, wait for the rebels to be wiped out, and then bring this little dude back to the Central Plains.
Two days later, Chu Xiangguo personally brought someone to pick him up, and Sikong Rui was so sincere that he was about to hold Brother Wang's hand with tears streaming down his face, reluctantly. Duan Yao hid in the dark and watched, her teeth hurt.
The black ship set sail and left the port, carrying Duan Baiyue, Chu Xiang and others, heading north together.
That night, Sikong Rui also took a merchant ship to leave, planning to go to the island where the Southwest Army is located, and then make the next plan. Duan Yao continued to stay in Lijing Country, guarding Xingzhou Island not far away, so as to avoid any abnormality.
The days of sailing at sea are naturally lively when there are many people, but it is inevitably boring when there are fewer people. Chu Yuan sat on the deck fence, holding a coconut in his hand, watching the seagulls and flowing clouds in the distance.
Nan Moxie whispered from the back: "Can the emperor sit in such a big way?" Shouldn't we pay attention to some royal manners, which is written in the small stories.
Sixi Gong said: "Master Tao is not here, the emperor can sit however he wants." It's fine to lie down.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Chu Yuan turned around and said, "Tell me, how should the emperor sit?"
Nan Moxie hurriedly said: "No matter how the emperor sits, he looks extremely majestic and tall."
Chu Yuan stared at him for a moment, but laughed first.
It is really like someone's master, and his words are all in a tune.
Nan Moxie thought to himself, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.
In fact, Chu Yuan was indeed extremely relaxed. People are in the White Elephant Country, and there are clues from Tianchensha, and everything seems to be developing in the best direction. Instead of staying in the palace and complaining, it is better to solve the troubles one by one, and then calculate the total account together, it is not too late.
The identity of everyone on this trip is the Dachu Business Gang, and the leader of the team is named Tang Suan. His name sounds poetic, but he has a bearded face. He was Duan Baiyue's confidant at first, and then inexplicably became Chu Yuan's confidant. Mingli's identity is the owner of Wangcheng's silk and satin shop, and he often travels to and from Baixiang Country to do business, so he knows all the ways.
Chu Yuan called, "Sugar garlic."
Tang Suan hurriedly said, "Master."
Chu Yuan said: "There are so many people at the dock of the White Elephant Country every day?"
"It is divided into off-season and peak season. This is the last delivery period before winter, and there will naturally be more people." Tang Suan said, "But even if there are more people, the entry and exit must be strictly registered. This is not sloppy, even if it is a plug. For the money, the young master is afraid that he will have to wait for a while."
Chu Yuan said: "It doesn't matter." Just being able to look around is much more vivid than Zhezi.
Nan Moxie looked around on tiptoe, and then sneaked out.
Eight guards stood in front of him.
Chu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth: "Senior want to find someone for me first?"
"No, no." Nan Moxie coughed twice and said, "It's windy, go buy a hat to wear."
Chu Yuan said: "come here!"
After a while, more than a dozen hats were sent to Nan Moxie in various styles, which attracted the envy of a group of aunties next to them, and we also wanted them.
Nan Moxie laughed dryly, waxing his apprentice in his heart.
It's not because the teacher doesn't help you, it's because your daughter-in-law is really too fierce.
Still asking for more happiness.
By the time everyone finally entered the city, it was already dusk. After ordering food in the restaurant, Chu Yuan took two bites with chopsticks when he saw a person coming up the stairs.
Four eyes met, Jin Shu was a little surprised.
"This girl." Nan Moxie said first, "Do you know my young master?"
Jin Shu returned to her senses, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Tang Suan pulled away the chair and said, "Please take a seat, girl."
Jin Shu handed the daughter in her arms to the maid and motioned her to wait on the other side.
Chu Yuan asked, "Is it your child?"
Jin Shu nodded: "Just turned five months."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "If I had known this, I should have brought some gifts."
"It is already a blessing for Xian'er to be able to see the young master at birth." Jin Shu lowered her head slightly. Compared to the moment when he first entered the palace, his temperament is already calm and restrained, and he is somewhat virtuous and dignified as a wife and mother.
Chu Yuan said: "Are you still used to living here?"
"Yeah." Jin Shu said, "My husband's family treats me very well. Even my brother came here once and said my life was good."
Chu Yuan joked: "Your brother didn't tell me that, he's still crying and asking for money."
Jin Shu also laughed when he heard the words, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and then said, "Why did the young master come to this White Elephant City?" Logically speaking, the emperor of the Great Chu is going south, and the White Elephant King should be unable to get what he wants, so why bother to come here.
Chu Yuan said: "I don't want to make a big deal of this trip, just to find someone."
Jin Shu glanced at Nan Moxie and said, "Are you looking for Duan...?"
Chu Yuan nodded: "Have you seen it?"
Jin Shu said: "Well, it was only a few months ago. In a painting and calligraphy shop in the city, I occasionally saw a person wearing a silver mask, and I shouldn't admit it."
Chu Yuan asked: "Is it still there now?"
Jin Shu shook her head: "Should have left long ago."
Chu Yuan frowned upon hearing this.
Jin Shu said: "If the young master wants to find it, my husband's family happens to be in charge of the registration of the merchants going to and from the dock. As long as you know whose name is registered, you can find out where you went by checking."
Having said that, the fool didn't know that Duan Baiyue would not use his real name. Just when Nan Moxie's mind was complicated and he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or breathe more for his apprentice, Chu Yuan had already got up and went with Jin Shu to the inn where Duan Baiyue stayed before.
"Merchant of Da Chu?" Seeing Jin Shu, Xiao Er naturally shouldn't be neglected. He hurriedly took out all the books from the previous few months, read them carefully, and finally found a familiar name - Sikong Rui.
"That's right, it's these three guests." Xiao Er said, "I have an impression that one of them is wearing a mask, so it's hard to forget."
Thanks to this behavior, Si Kongrui used his real name all the time. He hadn't seen each other for many years. The outside world never knew that Wangxijiao had a relationship with the Southwest Mansion. Not afraid of being checked. With this name and Jin Shu's help, it only took two days to find out the merchant ship that several people were on when they left.
"Thank you." Chu Yuan said.
"You're welcome, young master." Jin Shu said, "Just treat it as a favor for my brother, and a marriage for me."
Chu Yuan smiled and turned to the merchant ship.
"I've been running around for a few days, and I haven't had a good rest for a few days. Yesterday, the wind chill was just right." Father Sixi felt sorry for Chu Yuan and whispered, "Master Nan didn't persuade some of the Southwest Kings at the beginning, so he can't say anything. So now one is running to the end of the world and the other is chasing to the cape."
Nan Moxie squatted on the deck, also full of emotion. I am afraid that one plaque for the lover is not enough, so I have to do two - one will be hung in the Southwest House in the future, and one will be given to Wangcheng.
I don't know if a washboard will be enough when the two meet in the future.
