The "Five Ming Kings" of Tantric Buddhism have completely retreated.
Outside the Chu family mansion, all the forces that kept snooping here also retreated completely.
Ye Qingxuan supported Sikong Jianchou, he remained motionless, his face was extremely heavy.
Chu Lingxu stepped forward slowly, and said in a low voice: "Someone came here just now. Looking at the power, I'm afraid it's Nalan Chengji."
Sikong Jianchou looked towards a bell tower not far outside the mansion, and said calmly: "It is indeed Nalan Chengji. If it wasn't for him, these bastards in Dami Temple would not have retreated so simply."
Just now, Nalan Chengji appeared on the bell tower without hiding his trace, obviously to give someone a warning, not only the five Ming kings were scared away, but also many heroes from all walks of life who were planning to rob.
After just one appearance, Nalan Chengji disappeared again.
Sikong Jianchou took a deep breath, covered his chest with his right hand, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Chu Lingxu hurriedly asked: "Brother Sikong suffered internal injuries?"
Ye Qingxuan probed a bit, and replied solemnly: "The internal injury was not healed before. This time, I used strong energy to increase the injury. I am afraid that I can't fight again within a month, otherwise it will definitely form a hard-to-heal internal injury."
Sikong Jianchou waved his arms and said with a smile: "Little friend, you are worrying too much. The old man's life was originally taken back. Now that the enemy is in front of him, how can he just stand by and do nothing? If he dies, he deserves it."
Everyone was silent.
Guibie ran over not far away, just in time to hear Sikong Jianshou's words, and couldn't help but said with a sad face: "It's all right now, the sixth uncle was also injured, and he hasn't woken up until now, our place is feng shui Enough to memorize, now a room full of patients, how can we fight this battle?"
And so it is.
In total, there are only a few masters above the innate level, from high to low, Xuanhua Zhenren, Sikong Jianchou, Chu Lingxu, Ye Qingxuan, Meng Yuanyun, Ma Santong, Antong, there are only seven masters in the Chu family mansion, and the last one Of the two, only Ma Santong was smarter, and Antong barely made up the numbers. Now only Chu Lingxu and Ye Qingxuan, master and apprentice, are left intact, and the rest of them are all injured, and none of them can make a move.
Chu Dieyi and Qiu Rong stepped forward and helped Sikong Jianchou away.
Outside the corridor, Huyan Yunzhu and "Iron Hand" Antong hurried over. The two of them have been guarding the backyard to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. They came here at this time and waited for orders.
"Iron Hand" Antong is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a medium build and an ordinary appearance. The only thing that can attract people's attention is his straight eyebrows and a pair of rough hands.
This person is good at martial arts, but his leadership ability is too bad. He is just a pure thug-type talent. The last time he had an accident, he was completely messed up, and he couldn't react as he should for a long time. In this regard, Ma Santong is much better than him.
However, Antong was able to handle simple defense tasks.
Just arrived at the front, the "iron hand" An Tong respectfully saluted Chu Lingxu's master and apprentice, and said anxiously: "Master Chu, something is wrong, the four servants we went out to buy sundries just now were killed by someone. Out of the street, and now we're stuck here, we can't even get food in."
Ye Qingxuan sighed secretly, and it really came.
It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.
There was already this speculation before, the enemy was afraid of Nalan Chengji and did not dare to enter the Chu family mansion, so they could only block them here, dying of thirst, starvation, or trapping them to death.
On the day when everyone returned to the Chu family mansion, they were already blocked. Just for the sake of safety, the servants were not allowed to go out to buy. Now, after more than ten days, the food stock was exhausted, and the servants had to risk their lives to go shopping. There was an accident at the gate of the mansion.
Ye Qingxuan asked: "Then how long will we have enough food stored in the mansion?"
An Tong frowned and replied: "I heard from Widow Liu in the back kitchen that there is enough food for more than ten days, but the vegetables are less than three days old, and we always only buy fresh meat, and now we haven't eaten meat for more than ten days .”
"What? If you don't eat meat, how can you do that?"
The others didn't speak, and Gui Biesheng next to him was the first to yell.
"There are more than ten dried salted fish..."
"That's useless!"
"Shut up!" Ye Qingxuan was furious, and he yelled at Gui Bie, whose tall figure immediately shrank into a ball.
Ye Qingxuan rubbed his brows, and said to An Tong: "Leave me to find a solution for the food. Please arrange a good manpower to manage the security. Take strict care of the kitchen and several wells. Someone must be guarded day and night, so as not to be poisoned." .”
An Tong naturally didn't dare to be careless, and took the order.
Then Chu Lingxu ordered without hesitation: "Guardian An, when Director Ma is injured, the defense of the mansion will be entrusted to you. This is my disciple Huyan Yunzhu, who will stay by your side as a helper."
Huyan Yunzhu cupped his hands in salute, and said: "The younger generation has seen Guan An, but if you have something to do, please give me your instructions."
An Tong said "I dare not".
Chu Lingxu is now in the limelight in the martial arts world, such a master-level figure orders in front of him, An Tong hastily nodded and agreed, how dare he call himself the master.
Now the Chu family mansion has completely become a bridgehead against the enemies. No matter how arrogant An Tong and other Chu family elders are, they know that this place is not what it used to be, and the Chu family is no longer in charge.
An Tong and Huyan Yunzhu led the way.
Chu Lingxu looked back at Ye Qingxuan and said with a smile: "The world's major events are all on this one-third of an acre of land. I didn't expect that the enemy would have to worry about food first. Disciple, now I know that this world is not easy to break through right?"
Ye Qingxuan shook his head with a wry smile, bowed and replied: "What Master said is very true. If you don't think about it, it seems that I will go out in person and bring back some food. I will leave everything here to Master."
"not busy!"
Chu Lingxu waved his hand, grabbed Ye Qingxuan's sleeve, and said seriously: "Come with me!"
Ye Qingxuan saw the never-before-serious expression on the master's face, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly followed the other party up and leaped to the top of the highest barn in the Chu family mansion. The master and the apprentice looked at the front and rear courtyards of the Chu family mansion, the huge courtyard with a radius of several hundred feet, and sighed in unison.
Knowing that Master has something important to say, Ye Qingxuan unfolded his six senses and scanned the body carefully before he said softly: "Master, I have checked, and there is no one else within a radius of twenty feet."
Chu Lingxu nodded, and said slowly: "Now you and I are the only two masters and apprentices who are able to take on important tasks here. There are experts from all walks of life. I am afraid that the nearest Zhengzhou government will not be able to arrive in a while. This is something I did not have time before. I told you in detail."
"What? Can't get there!?"
Ye Qingxuan was shocked immediately.
His master arrived here in a few days. According to Ye Qingxuan's assumption, even if the other masters were not in such a hurry, they would arrive in three to five days at most. How could most of the people fail to arrive
Chu Lingxu sighed, and said, "Actually, it's very simple, because the Zhengzhou Mansion was surrounded by 150,000 imperial troops..."
"ah?"
This time, Ye Qingxuan was even more frightened into a cold sweat.
"Without the emperor's will, who can mobilize the army, and what army can besiege Zhengzhou City so quickly?"
Chu Lingxu looked at Ye Qingxuan and said nothing.
Ye Qingxuan suddenly realized that apart from Zheng Zhantang, who was guarding Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and guarding against the White Lotus Sect, the only one who could quickly command troops and horses, and had the letter to mobilize them, was Huangfu Jingming, a filial son who was guarding Taiping Dao in Jizhou.
He was the only one who had obtained the emperor's talisman, and had mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, and Jizhou Taipingzhai was not too far from Zhongzhou. As long as he crossed the big river, he would be five hundred miles south, and he would only need a dozen or so daylight scene. The prince of filial piety, Huangfu Jingming, has reached a state of unscrupulousness. He even gave up the blockade of Taipingzhai, but directly besieged a big city of the imperial court.
Chu Lingxu continued: "Zhengzhou City is the place where the Huangfu family rose up. Its foundation is strong, so there is nothing to lose. Now there are 'Xiaoyao King' Huangfu Yanzhao and Xue Gongwang guarding it, so there is nothing to lose. I just want to help here, But it was beyond the reach of the whip. When it came, the two elders went to Pindao to discuss a solution... But it is said that this idea came from your brother-in-law Jiang Shuihan."
"What's the solution?"
Chu Lingxu lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Assassinate Huangfu Jingming!"
hiss-
Sure enough, it is the most direct method.
But assassinating the prince of a country... is it that easy
"Where is he?"
"Should have arrived in Luodu City. It is said that Xuanhua Daoist was in Wolong Temple the night he intercepted and killed him."
Ye Qingxuan was taken aback, and said: "Could it be that we should go to Crouching Dragon Temple to find him? Then we might find Huangfu Jingming, and at the same time find Xianlong Patriarch and Zhuo Huifan."
"Zhuo Huifan has returned to Fengyi Pavilion..." Chu Lingxu continued: "Huangfu Jingming will not be in Wolong Temple..."
"Then where is he?"
Chu Lingxu sneered, and said, "He...huh, I'm afraid he is enjoying himself in the same place with Zheng Zhantang's wife."
Ye Qingxuan felt a tingling in the back of his spine.
Chu Lingxu said with some disgust: "According to the most secret information I have obtained, this Prince Xiao and Zheng Zhantang's wife were very unclear back then. Huangfu Jingming was fascinated by that lady. Every time Zheng Zhantang went out, Huangfu Jingming would I had a secret meeting with Mrs. Zheng, and we had been dating for more than ten years without anyone noticing."
Ye Qingxuan asked: "Is this news accurate? Where did it come from? It can't be from the Third Division of the imperial court, right? There are too many intelligence problems there..."
"It's not the third division of the imperial court!" Chu Lingxu said decisively.
"That is… "
"Yes—Zheng, Zhan, Tang!"
"scare?"
Ye Qingxuan suddenly fell into a sluggish state.
The news provided by Zheng Zhantang, that is to say, he already knew that his wife was having an affair with someone, and he endured it for more than ten years without knowing it
Is this information accurate
"Don't doubt, this information is absolutely accurate. Lao Xue didn't say the specific reason, but he assured me that there would be no problem at all. Not only did Zheng Zhantang explain the affair between Huangfu Jingming and Mrs. , I also know the secret meeting place to go to, and even drew a sketch, including where it is easy to ambush around, and where to escape if you succeed."
As the saying goes: A hundred patience can become gold.
But Lao Zheng's forbearance... is too...
It's too awesome.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help swallowing and spitting.
