Chu Yuan slept very deeply this night, and seemed to have had countless dreams intermittently. When he woke up, it was already the early morning of the second day.
Outside the window, the waves are bursting, and the sun is shining.
In the kitchen, Duan Baiyue cleared out the concoction, and after bringing it over, there was only Father Sixi in the room, he smiled and said, "My lord, the emperor just went out."
"Going out?" Duan Baiyue frowned when she heard the words, "The wind chill is not over yet, why are you going out?"
Sixi Gong said: "Eat breakfast, the emperor ordered not to be followed, and said he was going to the market."
Duan Baiyue shook her head, put down the medicine bowl and went to the market.
Chu Yuan was sitting on the stall where the noodles were pasted and was stirring with a spoon.
Duan Baiyue squatted beside him.
Chu Yuan glanced at it and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Duan Baiyue was helpless: "If you want to eat this, I will buy it for you, so why run out by yourself."
"It's too stuffy in the house." Chu Yuan said, "Come out and breathe."
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm still sick, and I'm not afraid to go back and have a fever."
Chu Yuan took a sip of the soup: "Yao'er said, noodles paste can cure all diseases."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan asked, "Do you want to eat? Please, some are silver."
Duan Baiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she wrapped a cloak for him. It was the seaside again in late autumn and early winter, and it was really cold when the wind blew.
After Chu Yuan finished eating a bowl of hot noodles, he stood up and walked back slowly: "Listen to Si Xi, you were interrogating Qiu Ji last night?"
Duan Baiyue nodded: "He has already confessed to most of the crimes."
Chu Yuan asked: "Including the location of Wilderness Genting?"
"It's the same as what Jin Niang said, and it's the same as our calculation." Duan Baiyue said, "It shouldn't be a lie."
"Why did you cooperate like this all of a sudden." Chu Yuan frowned, "What benefits did you give him?"
"Keep his reputation as a hero." Duan Baiyue replied.
Chu Yuan was puzzled.
"It's too windy here, let's go back first." Duan Baiyue said, "There are a lot of inside stories, I'm afraid it will take a while."
On the way back, the two found a stall selling sweet fried rice cakes on the street, and they seemed to be doing well. Duan Baiyue bought one and handed it over with a bamboo stick.
Chu Yuan took it in his hand and didn't eat it, so he took it all the way home. He happened to see Nan Moxie and asked, "Can you eat it, senior?"
Nan Moxie smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan handed over the fried cake and went back to his room to change his clothes.
Nanmo evilly said: "I also went out once in the morning. There were already people outside discussing the burnt ship, saying anything, and some people even said that it was struck by thunder."
"No matter what he says, it will gradually disappear after a while, as long as the plague doesn't spread." Duan Baiyue said, "Huizhou Zeyu Gang, this is the name of the business name on the ledger. After returning in the future, look for opportunities to go there. Tell his family the truth and the matter will be over."
Nan Moxie said again: "It's a shame that we discovered it early, otherwise, if the people on this island were infected with the plague, and the news spread, it would be difficult for the merchants of Chu to live in the future."
"When Sikong comes back, you can ask him." Duan Baiyue said, "Wangxijiao has a variety of business paths, and you may know about this Zeyu Merchant Gang."
Nan Moxie nodded and took a bite of the fried cake.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Is it delicious?"
Nan Moxie frowned: "What is it? It's hard and sweet, and it smells fishy."
Duan Baiyue is quite fortunate: "That's good, Master eat slowly."
Nan Moye: "???"
Duan Baiyue turned around and went to Chu Yuan's residence.
Father Sixi greeted him with a smile as usual: "Your Highness is here again."
Chu Yuan came out of the room, changed into white clothes, held hot tea in his hands, and looked a little childish.
Duan Baiyue's eyes softened.
Father Sixi bowed and stepped back, closing the courtyard door for the two of them.
Chu Yuan said: "Tell me what happened to Qiu Ji."
"The grievance between him and Lan Yizhan, wait for you to talk about it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Duan Baiyue said, "There are only two important things at the moment, the relationship between Fen Xing and the Fenxing Bureau, and Chu Xiang. future plans."
Chu Yuan nodded: "Let's talk about Fen Xing first."
"The Star Burning Bureau is a set of internal skills. Yao'er was a coincidence and learned it from Senior Xuantian when he was in the North Palace." Duan Baiyue said, "And there is another Kung Fu on Chaoya Island, called Zongxing. Bureau."
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Qiu Ji and Lan Yi exhibited Hai apprenticeship, and deliberately lured Lan Yi Zhan to practice the constellation game." Duan Baiyue said, "Everyone in the rivers and lakes says that Burning Star can make people fascinated, but they don't know what the real magic skill is. It's this vertical constellation."
Chu Yuan said, "Lan Yizhan is also enchanted because of this?"
Duan Baiyue nodded: "But his nature is clear and bright. Even if he fell into the devil's way, he never gave up hope. He has always wanted to practice a detoxification kung fu, which is the Star Burning Bureau. It's a pity that Senior Xuantian didn't know about this at that time, and that Although Qiu Ji had stolen Fen Xing's mind, he refused to give it to him. The two of them scrambled all the way, and news gradually spread in the rivers and lakes that Lan Yizhan was the devil. Little do they know that all the disasters that destroyed the family were all Qiu Ji. Framed and framed."
Chu Yuan said: "The sin is unforgivable."
"Later Lan Yizhan committed suicide in despair, and Qiu Ji finally achieved his goal and became famous and became a hero." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that in order to defeat Lan Yizhan, he used a lot of Gu insects to stimulate his inner strength, which led to later Changed beyond recognition, in order to preserve his reputation, he retired from the rivers and lakes, lived in a ghost village, caught the servant and listened to him praising Qiu Daxia every day.
Chu Yuan said: "Then why do you want to re-enter the arena?"
"Lan Yizhan is the only person he knows who can make Fen Xing shine. In order to explore the secret, he didn't burn his body, but put it in the Jade Coffin Mountain." Duan Baiyue said, "After doing so many bad things, it's finally It was uneasy. After decades of this, I suddenly heard that Fen Xing in Jiu Xuanji was stolen, and decided that Lan Yizhan had come back from the dead and wanted to take revenge on himself. That’s why he used the pseudonym Sai Panan and Jianghu Yao. Ji Xiang colluded, on the one hand, he wanted to catch the old man Mu Chi, so that he could crack the mechanism and re-enter Jade Coffin Mountain, and on the other hand, he set up a star burning bureau in the busy city of Wangcheng, so as to lure Lan Yizhan out."
Chu Yuan said: "This is more than just a madman, it is simply maddening."
"He is a lunatic." Duan Baiyue said, "Lan Ji came back from the dead and came to me with corpse poison to seek revenge. Nanyang, defected to Chu Xiang, whom he met earlier on Chaoya Island."
Chu Yuan said, "Chaoya and Chu Xiang?"
"This is the second thing." Duan Baiyue said, "Although the Emerald and Burmese country is hidden and difficult for outsiders to break into, it is not close to Da Chu after all. So Chu Xiang sent people to occupy Chaoya Island early in the morning. , that is, those so-called black-robed people."
"So all the troubles on Chaoya Island are rooted in Chu Xiang?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's not just him. If it wasn't for the islanders who liked leisure and hated work, outsiders wouldn't have the opportunity." Duan Baiyue said, "For Chu Xiang, capturing Chaoya is indeed a good deal. On the one hand, there may be gold. Second, even if there is no treasure, the geographical location is extremely advantageous, and the surrounding area is the sea area of Great Chu.”
Chu Yuan frowned.
Duan Baiyue said to him: "What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yuan leaned back in his chair: "I was afraid of the threat of Liu's residence before, so I left him and Liu Jinde alone, but they have caused all this trouble."
Duan Baiyue said: "If you don't want to care, I-"
"This is a matter of Great Chu." Chu Yuan pouted, "Don't worry about the King of Southwest."
Duan Baiyue looked at him and smiled.
Chu Yuan raised his chin: "The mask is taken off."
Duan Baiyue froze.
Chu Yuan said: "I know you're ugly, but I didn't look good before, so I picked it up."
Duan Baiyue said: "The matter of Qiu Ji is not finished yet."
Chu Yuan was displeased: "Disobeying the decree is a death penalty."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan simply stretched out his hand.
Duan Baiyue first wanted to retreat, but in the end she just closed her eyes suddenly.
Chu Yuan gently removed his mask.
It's quiet all around.
After a while, Chu Yuan commented: "Compared to the last time I had to hide the scar from Jin Shu, it's still more pleasing to the eye."
Duan Baiyue slowly opened his eyes.
Chu Yuan said again: "It's good to look at the bells and whistles."
Duan Baiyue was dumbfounded.
Chu Yuan threw the mask aside and looked closer.
Duan Baiyue stood up.
Chu Yuan patted the table.
"Poisonous." Duan Baiyue explained, "Master said, let me stay away from you."
"Look at you carefully, how long can you live less?" Chu Yuan asked, "Three years or five years?"
Duan Baiyue: "..."
It doesn't seem that way.
Chu Yuan hooked his fingers.
Duan Baiyue sat back at the table.
Chu Yuan ordered: "Continue to talk about Qiu Ji."
Without any cover on his face, Duan Baiyue felt a little uncomfortable.
Chu Yuan didn't care, and continued to listen with one hand on his cheek, as if the face in front of him had never changed.
They didn't go out until after lunch.
Chu Yuan went to find Sixi for dinner alone.
Duan Baiyue returned to the room, took off the mask, and hesitated to pick up the bronze mirror on the table.
The face reflected in the mirror was still covered with blue totems, terrifying. Even he himself couldn't figure it out, why he was willing to show his true face in front of his loved one even though he had to wear a mask in the southwest mansion - but just now he saw his expression and listened to his tone, but he felt that it was not the same. It's a big event, like being bewitched, it's okay to pick it up.
Nan Moxie stuck his head into the window and asked, "I've watched it for a long time, are you going to choose an oiran?"
Duan Baiyue's face froze, and she buckled down the mirror.
Nan Moxie greeted: "Go, the weather is good today, go to sea to see."
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "Master has been thinking too much, I'm not frustrated with this face."
"There's nothing to be depressed about." Nan Mo evilly said, "Tianchensha is right in front of you. After taking it for half a year, you will recover your appearance, maybe even more handsome. At that time, relying on selling Portraits can also make money." The wealthy and enemy country was just around the corner, so he couldn't help but rubbed his hands together.
Duan Baiyue reached out and closed the window.
Nan Moxie stood outside and sighed, a rebel.
Time passed by, Sikong Rui returned to the island one step ahead of Duan Yao.
Duan Baiyue asked: "Have you found any news?"
Sikong Rui looked around him, feeling envious: "You really are the Queen's life." I don't know if I can let my wife touch this person's hand a few more times, and she can also give birth to a mother.
Duan Baiyue put the Xuanming Cold Iron on the table.
Sikong Rui stepped back five steps and said, "Hey, God is helping you this time. If you're lucky, it's not difficult to get back Tianchensha without hurting one soldier and one soldier."
Duan Baiyue said: "Really?"
"What are you doing?" Si Kongrui sat back on the stone bench and asked, "Do you know what Tianchensha is?"
"What is it?" Before Duan Baiyue could speak, Chu Yuan first came in through the door.
Before, I was thinking about selling off, but now that it was the emperor who spoke, he naturally couldn't turn around. Sikong Rui immediately stood up, squatted down and put his arms around his arms, and said, "Back to the emperor, it's such a big stone."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Isn't this size a bit wrong
