The distance between Xingzhou Island and Jingguo is not too far. The deserted island, which was originally uninhabited, suddenly began to carry out construction projects, which will naturally attract the surrounding people to discuss. It is said that the master above looks handsome and luxurious, has a wealth of wealth, and has a very mysterious identity. Just thinking about it, he knows that he will do great things in the future.
But some people say that although the master behind the scenes is Huagui, his temperament is extremely violent and cruel. He used to have a wife before, but he couldn't stand the beatings and scolding, and sneaked away with his son who was just a month old. I'm afraid he's already dead at sea.
While washing the dishes, Duan Yao thought to herself, escaped from the island, was homeless and brought her full moon son, the woman of Da Chu—could it be the one that the second brother rescued from the tiger's mouth in Houshan
Maybe it really is! The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, Duan Yao was excited, and just then she shook her head, the plate and bowl in her hand fell into the bucket, and it shattered into pieces.
"Oh!" The boss hurried over to check and stomped, "Why are you so careless."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Duan Yao quickly apologized, "I'll clean it up now, and the loss will be deducted from the wages."
"No need." Someone behind him said, "I'll pay for him."
Duan Yao turned back suddenly.
Chu Yuan smiled and put a silver note on the table: "Is it enough?"
Duan Yao: "..."
"Enough is enough." The boss was overjoyed. He was originally from the state of Chu. Naturally, he knew that the silver note was from a subordinate of Sun Moon Villa. It had an excellent reputation and could be exchanged for money anywhere, so he hurriedly put it away.
"It's been so long since I haven't seen you, how can you be so miserable?" Chu Yuan joked, took out his handkerchief and stepped forward, drying Duan Yao's wet hands.
Duan Xiaowang wanted to cry again, although...but...sister-in-law!
Sikong Rui also jumped off the boat holding the washboard, followed by Nan Moxie, Si Xi, and a woman with a veil covering her face, it was Jin Niang.
"Okay, let's go back to the residence first." Chu Yuan said, "This is not the place to talk."
Duan Yao nodded: "Yes."
Since he is a homeless guy, he can't live in a very good place, it's a dilapidated fisherman's courtyard, or his mother-in-law and aunt like him to be handsome and sweet-mouthed, thinking that maybe he can be recruited as a son-in-law, so he is willing to pay for free. stay.
Duan Yao brewed a few cups of sweet tea, then pulled up a small bench and sat down, with her hands on her knees, and explained, "Brother has never come back."
Chu Yuan said: "I know."
Duan Yao also suggested: "The washboard can be kept for future use."
Chu Yuan agreed: "Okay."
Nan Moye: "..."
Sixi: "… "
Sikong Rui calculated in his heart that maybe he could go out and get a few more dollars, after all, the price was cheap.
Good brother, show loyalty, if you want to kneel, I will buy it.
Heartfelt, very moving.
On the deserted island of Chaoya, Duan Baiyue is standing on the training platform, watching the soldiers change their formations. At this moment, he sincerely wanted to thank Master, the director of the Heart Dharma Collection, but he created a unique technique. Even people who are familiar with his martial arts moves, no one can detect heresy. The internal power is extremely evil. If you change your mind a little bit, you will be doing yourself a favor. If you really start a war in the future, these people will be the vanguard.
"Teacher Wang." At noon, a guard stepped forward and reported, "Master is here."
"Now?" Duan Baiyue frowned.
"Yes." The guard said, "I also brought a few guests."
Duan Baiyue followed him off the training platform and went to the port to see what happened.
Chu Xiang came to this side from a distance, and was followed by a man with a stooped figure and a black mask. It was the Qiu Ji who was shot down the cliff that day.
Not expecting to meet him here, Duan Baiyue paused.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Teacher Wang."
"I thought the master would come next month." Duan Baiyue lowered her head slightly, staggering Qiu Ji's line of sight.
"There just happens to be a friend who wants to come." Chu Xiang said, "This is Mr. Qiu, and he is also a first-class master of the Central Plains martial arts."
Duan Baiyue asked: "Mr. Qiu will stay here in the future?"
"That's not true." Chu Xiang said, "To be honest, I came here because I wanted to discuss with Coach Wang."
"What's the matter?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Mr. Qiu will return to Great Chu in a few days." Chu Xiang said as he walked, "I wonder if Teacher Wang would like to go together?"
Duan Baiyue was surprised: "Now?"
"I know that Chu land is a sad place for Coach Wang." Chu Xiang said, "It's just that if you want to achieve great things, it's better to let go of these personal grievances."
Duan Baiyue asked again, "Why do you want to go to Da Chu?"
"Teacher Wang is not an outsider." Chu Xiang glanced at Qiu Ji, "Tell me about your plan, don't hide it."
"Yes." Qiu Ji nodded, and then said: "I got news some time ago that the emperor of Chu State is not in the palace recently."
Duan Baiyue asked, "Where did you go?"
"It seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and it seems to be in the southwest. The whereabouts are quite secret." Qiu Ji said, "It's just that it doesn't matter if you can't find it. No matter where you go, there are only a few ways to return to the royal city."
Duan Baiyue frowned slightly.
Qiu Ji added: "I have sent killers to Da Chu before, but there are so many experts around Chu Yuan, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no mistakes. The opportunity is rare, so I will personally go north this time and ambushed on the only way to return to the king's city. I heard that the instructor Wang is highly skilled in martial arts, so I came to ask, would you like to go together?"
Duan Baiyue asked: "Do you want to assassinate the emperor?"
"Teacher Wang is also a smart person. If you think about it, you can't figure out who these soldiers and horses are going to be prepared to deal with in the future?" Chu Xiang stopped and asked coldly.
Duan Baiyue said: "Only rely on these people?"
Chu Xiang sneered: "Does the teacher think that my territory is only this desert island and star continent?"
Duan Baiyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go."
"Very good, what this king likes most in his life is the cheerful person." Chu Xiang patted him on the shoulder, "Just don't worry, when things are done, there are people in the border of Chu who have lost to the teacher of Wang, whoever he is. The princes and nobles are still masters of the rivers and lakes, and they can be killed or cut."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay."
Two days later, a black pointed boat left the deserted island. Duan Baiyue was still blindfolded, but it only took one day and one night to drive out of the foggy area. When I wanted to come to the island before, the big ship must have made many circles on the sea to confuse everyone, and it took ten days.
Qiu Ji has been sitting in the cabin, his eyes closed slightly, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays.
During the day, Duan Baiyue asked, "Where is Xingzhou?"
"Returning to the teacher, there are still three or four days away from here." The boatman knew that he was a celebrity in front of Chu Xiang, so his attitude was very respectful, "Just go to the northeast."
Duan Baiyue nodded and turned back to the cabin.
Qiu Ji opened his eyes.
Duan Baiyue sat opposite him and said, "Mr. Qiu."
"What is the teacher Wang looking for from me?" Qiu Ji asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "Where did the people who assassinated Emperor Chu come from?"
Qiu Ji said, "All of the master's people, eighteen killers, have been secretly training on the island for many years."
Duan Baiyue continued: "When was it sent to Chu country?"
Qiu Ji said, "Half a month ago."
Duan Baiyue asked again: "Can it be related to the Central Plains Martial Arts?"
Qiu Ji shook his head: "No, the operation has failed once. Outsiders are unreliable, but my own people can trust them."
Duan Baiyue said: "Besides, are there any other assassination plans?"
Qiu Ji frowned in displeasure: "Instructor Wang seems to have a lot of problems."
Duan Baiyue replied: "Since I promised to act, naturally I have to ask more clearly."
Qiu Ji closed his eyes again: "If Teacher Wang wants to know anything else, he will find an opportunity to ask the master in the future. I am sorry that I have no comment."
As soon as the voice fell, a cool feeling came from his neck, so he suddenly opened his eyes.
Duan Baiyue's eyes are like knives.
Qiu Ji knew that something had changed, but he couldn't move his hands. There are thousands of ants biting in the blood, and the remaining consciousness is left bit by bit.
Duan Baiyue threw away the Gu worm in his hand and reached out to take off his mask.
Qiu Ji looked at him, a trace of panic flashed in his heart. Those eyes hidden behind the silver mask are no longer as evasive and cowardly as before, without wind and waves. Instead, it was replaced with a familiar murderous intent and blood red ferociousness - exactly the same as when he was on the cliff that day.
"King of the Southwest." Qiu Ji spoke with difficulty.
Duan Baiyue said: "Having been invaded by Qian'er's bloodline, you can survive until now without being confused. You are also a master of Gu."
Qiu Ji had difficulty breathing and asked, "Why?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Because you are beyond your own power."
Qiu Ji fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and soon fell into darkness.
The ship turned its sails and rushed all the way to Lijing Country day and night.
Inside the fisherman's courtyard, Chu Yuan was looking through the pile of papers in front of him, all of which Duan Yao had discovered these days. Sin Chew Island, Emerald Burma, and Chu Xiang and Liu Jinde.
Nan Mo smiled evilly and knocked on the door with a bowl of egg drop wine: "Master."
Chu Yuan didn't lift his head: "I'm not going back."
"No." Nan Moxie sat opposite and said bitterly, "Master swears to you, when the bastard shows up, I will tie him up and send him to Wangcheng, and he will not be allowed to do anything again, this time I am determined not to be wrong. Team, will it work?"
Chu Yuan said: "If I can't get Tianchensha, I won't leave."
Nan Moxie looked out of the window and looked at Chu in the distance. He knew it with affection, and moved it with reason: "It is said to take Tianchensha, but in fact it is the war between the Kingdom of Chu and the Kingdom of Emerald and Burma. This matter is no trivial matter. The saying goes well. , the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the affairs in the DPRK are complicated, and the people of the people are still looking forward to the emperor's return to the DPRK. Now that the whereabouts of Tianchensha are known, and it is determined that the Emerald-Myanmar kingdom and the traitorous party are in one, they can return to the king's city in an upright manner. When dispatching troops, why do you have to go on a personal expedition, does the emperor say so?"
Duan Yao lay outside the door and listened attentively, and was very moved—Master didn't memorize a single word this time, and his tone was very sonorous, which was quite gratifying.
Nan Moye turned around with a smile on his face, full of expectations.
Chu Yuan's chin rested on the table and was sleeping soundly.
Nan Moye: "..."
This sleeping position was seen when Yao'er was eight years old.
"How?" Seeing him go out, Duan Yao and Sixi in the yard asked in unison.
Nan Moxie looked haggard and beckoned to his little apprentice: "In the future, you must find someone who can listen to you when you marry a wife."
Duan Yao's eyes were full of sympathy: "Oh."
Si Xi's father-in-law's brain hurts - if the prince has been staying in the Emerald-Myanmar country, the emperor can't wait forever.
It was a cold night, so after Duan Yao comforted her master, she stretched out and returned to her small courtyard. She pushed the door but heard the sound of breaking wind behind her, so she instinctively leaned over to dodge, and threw a row of darts with her backhand.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Hidden weapons are good."
"Brother?" Duan Yao's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"
"The situation has changed." Duan Baiyue said, "Qiu Ji is in my hands, and this Xingzhou does not need to be guarded for the time being. You take him to the southwest immediately, hand over the person to the master, and then ask Duan Nian to bring all the people in the mansion. The killer went north and guarded the three official roads leading to the king's city. Chu Xiang has already sent someone to assassinate the emperor, the situation is critical, and you will have to work hard on this journey."
Duan Yao said, "Cough."
Duan Baiyue frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Duan Yao pointed behind him and said cautiously, "You can tell the emperor yourself."
Duan Baiyue's body suddenly stiffened.
Duan Yao shrank her neck, quietly turned around and went back to her room, and the moment she closed the door, she quickly lay on the seam and peeked.
It was quiet all around except for the sound of the waves.
Chu Yuan said: "How long are you going to stare at that door panel?"
Duan Baiyue clenched her hands tightly, gritted her teeth and jumped to the roof.
Sikong Rui rushed out, stopped him halfway, and forced him back.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Yao opened the door a little, beckoned Brother Sikong to squeeze in, and generously gave him half of the door.
Chu Yuan said: "Keep running."
Duan Baiyue still turned her back to him.
"How good-looking do you think you are." Chu Yuan walked into him step by step, "Even if this face is not destroyed, can the emperor of Chu fall in love at first sight?"
Duan Baiyue closed his eyes.
"If you don't want to see me, I won't force you." Chu Yuan stopped behind him, "Think about it, you have been forcing me for so many years, when did I force you once?"
Duan Baiyue felt a pain in her heart.
"Go back to the southwest." After a long time, Chu Yuan said coldly, "I will get Tianchensha for you, and then we will not owe each other. What will happen to the South China Sea in the future, and what will happen to me in the future, has nothing to do with you anymore. ."
Duan Baiyue's lips trembled, but she still couldn't say a "good" word.
Duan Yao was in a hurry in the room. Is his brother a madman? He is pretending to be a stuffy gourd. Shouldn't he cry and hug his sister-in-law? Write like this.
Sikong Rui regretted: "It's a pity that those washboards are all in my room."
"No, think of a way!" Duan Yao stood up, "I'm a little nervous, think about it!"
"Okay!" Sikong Rui looked quite stance.
Duan Yao was stunned after agreeing so simply: "Can you do it?"
"Let him alone!" Si Kongrui pushed open the door, the situation couldn't be worse than the current situation, a dead horse should be a living horse doctor.
"Hey hey hey!" Duan Yao paled in shock, reaching out to pull but not holding back.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, Brother Duan has some problems with his brain recently." Sikong Rui said with an astonishing sincerity, "Insane."
Duan Baiyue's face was ashen, and he punched him back.
Sikong Rui coughed while covering his chest, still not a brother.
Duan Yao hurriedly closed the door, very pessimistic about the future-because whether it was his biological brother or Sikong's brother, it seemed that something was wrong with his head.
Chu Yuan turned around and left the courtyard. The sea breeze was strong and cold.
Duan Baiyue stood in the courtyard for a long time.
Si Kongrui and Duan Yao squatted behind the door, sighing and staring at each other.
"Stupid apprentice." At dawn, Nan Moxie reminded him behind him, "The emperor is going to sea, why don't you stop him?"
Duan Baiyue's voice was hoarse: "What I asked for before was nothing more than to make him forget me. Now that I am benevolent, why should I stop me?"
"If you forget you, you can find someone to live a good life again, and if you forget, you will forget." Nan Mo said evilly, "But if you can find someone again, why would you go south in person several times, even at the cost of sailing to sea? He is the The monarch of a country, and he is also a monarch of a country who wants to be famous in history, but in his heart, you even have to be more important than society."
Duan Baiyue held her hands tightly.
"Brother Duan, what the hell is thinking?" Si Kongrui was at a loss for words. "It's not a courtesan, so what if his face is ruined? I don't even dislike him."
Duan Yao said, "But my brother is poisoned."
Sikong Rui said: "Then at least you can watch from a distance."
Duan Yao said, "Will you watch it for a lifetime?"
Sikong Rui said, "Which is better, watching your sweetheart for a lifetime, or being run away by your sweetheart's popularity and complaining for a lifetime?"
Duan Yao continued to face the door and said: "But the master said that the emperor left this time, maybe he can forget his brother and find someone to live again."
Sikong Rui asked, "What if you can't forget it?"
Duan Yao firmly said: "If you can forget it, my brother thinks that the emperor can forget it. Even if you can't now, in ten or eight years, you can."
Sikong Rui said, "It's been three or four years since we were separated, and the emperor still does not hesitate to send troops to the south for Brother Duan. According to this calculation, it will take at least another ten years to let go of the love and hate in my heart, and after another ten years, maybe it's true. If you can let go completely, most of your life will have passed. But if you have been obsessed with someone for most of your life, even if you have let go completely, if you want to find someone you really like again, in that deep palace, I'm afraid it will not be easy. The best As a result, it is nothing more than a wake-up call at the time of old age, and the harem filled with talented women, who are drunk and dream of becoming the emperor every day. If Brother Duan can wait until this day, he must be quite gratified. "
"This is not bad." Duan Yao pouted, "If you can't forget it in your life, it will be miserable. No matter if you love it or hate it, you are all alone. If you love it, you can't watch it. Bend to death."
Duan Baiyue was in a mess, turned around and rushed out of the small courtyard.
Duan Yao and Si Kongrui clapped their hands.
Nan Moxie also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty." Father Sixi wrapped the cloak for him, "It's windy outside, go back."
Chu Yuan stood on the bow, looking at the port further and further away, his eyes became colder and colder.
Father Sixi sighed in his heart.
Chu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and finally turned around and returned to the cabin.
After a while, the boat swayed suddenly, and Father Sixi exclaimed from outside, "King of the Southwest?"
Chu Yuan didn't hesitate for a moment, and said coldly: "Come here, catch the assassin."
