A few days later, the entire Liu family was buried, and the name of the Pinglang Gang completely disappeared in the rivers and lakes. When the common people pass by the remnants of the old site, they will inevitably sigh a few words about the impermanence of the world. The sect that was once prominent has suffered such a disaster without warning. It is unknown who is so vicious, even the old and weak, women and children are not spared.
Taohua also went to the grave to burn a few pieces of paper money. The hatred in her heart had disappeared when she saw those charred corpses. She just felt in a trance for many years, like a dream.
Xiao Lingzi still has no news of life or death. As for the White Fish Tower, it was completely blown up, and together with the underground darkroom, it became a dilapidated ruin.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Wanzhi happened to go to the temple to burn incense that night and escaped for a while, but due to the excessive stimulation, he became dull all over. So Ye Jin had no choice but to secretly send the man to Qionghua Valley for the time being, on the one hand, his disciples would take care of him for diagnosis and treatment, and on the other hand, he would avoid causing another disaster.
After dealing with the follow-up matters of the Pinglang Gang, everyone set off on their way back to Dakun City.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." In the prince's mansion, Chu Chengxi said, "No wonder my father spent a lot of money to bring these people back from Nanyang. His work is indeed clean."
"Don't be careless." Chu Heng said, "Although the Pinglang Gang has been resolved, after all, Shen Qianfeng and his party have lived there for a while, and it is uncertain whether they have discovered anything. Recently, it is better to keep a low profile ” Ever since he learned that Wen Liunian was coming to the Great Kun City, he has also searched for a lot of relevant information. It seems that the number one talent in Great Chu is indeed not easy to mess with.
It's better to be careful.
"Ah!" Wen Liunian sneezed, rubbed his nose and continued to bathe the five red-armored wolves. The brush was dipped in water and gently brushed on their backs. There was sweet-scented osmanthus oil beside it, which was bright and clean.
Among them, the smallest and roundest one dangles its tentacles, lazily drying its belly, nah! 0
Wen Liunian lay on the stone table, staring at it in a daze.
Counting the days, the merchant ship that was going to Luoying Island to deliver the letter should arrive...
"Sir, sir!" A little boy about six or seven years old with a round bun was bouncing around, holding a letter and ran into the main hall, "There is another letter, is Brother Wuying coming back?"
"Little Shadow won't be back for a while." Yun Duanhun patted his head, and casually grabbed a handful of peanut candies.
"Hmm." The little boy was a little unhappy.
"When Wuying was here, I fought with you every day to grab candy, but I still thought about it." Wufeng laughed, hugged him and put him outside, "Go and play by yourself."
The little boy continued to hop up and down, jumping out like a little rabbit.
"What did the letter say?" Wufeng returned to the hall and joked, "Another seventeen or eight pages of love letters to the young master?"
"I was hoping it was a love letter." Yun Duanhun handed over the letter paper, "You don't need to read the first one, just read the last one."
Wufeng took it in his hand and swept it hastily, then frowned and said, "Shark?"
"What do you think?" Yun Duanhun asked.
"I don't really believe it." Wufeng shook his head.
"But Xiao Liuzi said it so seriously that even Master Shen and Gu Master Ye don't know what it is." Yun Duanhun said, "Don't forget that there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the Eastern Sea."
"So you plan to investigate, sir?" Wufeng probed.
Yun Duanhun said: "The letters are all here. If I don't check them, I'm afraid people will come to the island in person within a month." Leaving aside eating a lot, even if he just whispers in his ears every day, You have to read off a layer of skin.
Wufeng said: "Then do you want to tell Master Zhao?"
"Just let him practice with peace of mind." Yun Duanhun said, "Let's not talk about it for now."
"But is it suitable?" Wufeng hesitated, "This is a letter from Master Wen." And there are eight pages of lovesickness in the front.
"Just give the rest of the letter to A Yue." Yun Duanhun burned the last piece of paper, "Otherwise, why would you be a little Liuzi and write on a separate page for the mermaid?" It was clearly intentional.
Wufeng smiled and said: "No wonder the young master obeys Mr. Wen."
"Young people today." Yun Duanhun shook his head, took the letter and went to the practice ice room - it was originally just an ice room made of cold jade, and there was a vast white mist everywhere. It started to be different gradually. Every now and then, Wen Liunian would either send a portrait of himself, or a piece of his clothes, or write a scroll. At the beginning, there was a good exchange of heartfelt words, and he was told to hang it in a conspicuous place, lest the island People on the Internet don't know that this handsome man has become a relative.
So at this moment, after Zhao Yue finished adjusting his breath, he opened his eyes and saw the portrait of Wen Liunian in front of him, wearing a brocade robe, standing under the tree with a proud face, and smiling.
So Master Zhao, who originally planned to go back to rest for a while, changed his mind temporarily and continued to practice internal skills with his eyes closed, only thinking that he could become a master sooner. Fortunately, although the red lancet technique is majestic and flowing, the essence is only one word "fast". As long as you are willing to practice hard, you can indeed make rapid progress and make rapid progress.
"Don't be too tired." Yun Duanhun pushed the door in and handed him the letter, "It's newly brought by the merchant ship."
"Thank you, Master." Zhao Yue took it over, looked at the opened seal, and felt a little helpless—in order to ensure that his state of mind would not be disturbed while practicing, it was understandable that Master had to check all the letters in advance, and he wrote back specifically. Regarding this matter, the letters he sent are still more affectionate than each other, and they don't care about others at all, and they have a bit of a bandit air of self-importance.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yue shook the letter paper.
"There is one thing." Yun Duanhun walked out, "Xiao Liuzi's waist has become thinner." On this matter, I wrote two and a half pages back and forth with different sentences, and it was hard for me not to remember it.
Zhao Yue: "..."
In Da Kun City, Mr. Wen stood under the cherry tree, reaching out to touch his waist.
Mu Qingshan said: "It's still the same as before."
Wen Liunian was very dissatisfied: "It's fine."
Mu Qingshan shook his head: "No."
Wen Liunian emphasized: "I can't eat much recently."
Mu Qingshan reminded: "Last night, the adults ate the elbow sent by King Xixi."
Wen Liunian pretended not to hear, turned around and went back to the room calmly.
Did not eat.
And the other letter was sent to Wangcheng in a hurry, eight hundred miles away. Chu Yuan opened the sealing seal, and at the beginning was the words Ye Jindou, which almost took up an entire page - taking medicine.
Chu Yuan ordered Sixi to bring the tranquilizing medicine, and drank it with his head raised.
The next page was written by Wen Liunian. After reporting on the government affairs of the East China Sea as usual, he also talked about the mermaid.
Merman? Chu Yuan frowned a little. Except for the little phoenix who liked to chirp everywhere, he was dubious about all legends, especially when he had something to do with Donghai, so he suspected that someone was pretending to be a ghost. While thinking about it, he turned to the next page, but it was written by Ye Jin again - go to bed quickly after reading it.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, and he could almost imagine the awkward little expression he had when he wrote this letter. There is also a line of supplements from Shen Qianfeng next to it, the content is much more detailed, saying that he has already started to investigate, the emperor please don't worry.
Chu Yuan lit the letter, and announced that Shen Qianfan and the other generals would enter the palace, and they talked for a whole night.
Eunuch Sixi sighed outside the door, the emperor is really tired.
As the sun rose slowly from the sky, Wen Liunian ate fish ball noodle noodles at a small stall by the sea, then wandered to several dilapidated academies, found all the remaining books in them, and said that he wanted to Build a library.
Chu Heng naturally didn't bother to bother him about it, it was nothing more than some yellowed and broken books, and he couldn't make a big storm. So Wen Liunian was happy and at ease, he didn't even need to act perfunctorily, flipping through books while basking in the sun in the courtyard, and read more than half of it in three days.
Since it is a town by the East Sea, there will naturally be some rumors about the sharks, but most of them are about pearl tears and weaving sharks, there is nothing unusual about it.
"Is Liu Xiangnan in the pearl and brocade business?" Shang Yunze asked.
"I've never heard of it." Shen Qianfeng said, "The Pinglang Gang mainly focuses on escorting darts on weekdays, even if they are in business, they are also in the sword business."
"Wait." Wen Liunian's eyes lit up, "It's not just a pearl shark, there's one here, it's a shark soldier."
Everyone clattered around.
"Look." Wen Liunian carefully flattened the book, and saw a sketch drawn on it, dozens of men with fish tails were holding big knives, fighting the pirates on the ship, it looked extremely tragic.
"What kind of script is this?" Mu Qingshan picked it up and looked at it, "It doesn't seem like Western script, I've never seen it before."
"It's Nanman Wen." Wen Liunian said, "I learned some from Xiao Wu when I was in Yunlan City."
Mu Qingshan worshiped: "Your Excellency, you still understand Nanban characters?"
"Because the Nanman tribe lives in the mountains, it is not as convenient to meet each other as it is on the plains, so there are many kinds of written languages. I can barely recognize a few words." Wen Liunian took the pen and ink, and wrote all the words on the page. I copied it down, "If you need someone to explain, the King of Southwest is the best candidate."
Hearing Duan Baiyue's name, Ye Jin immediately lifted her chin proudly.
So Mu Qingshan couldn't figure it out, the Southwest King is actually not bad, he is easy to talk, has high kung fu, he often gives elbows to adults, and he is responsive to requests. Even Leader Shen can have a good time with him, why does Guzhu Ye look like a cat whose tail is trampled every time he mentions it.
Could it be that he really owed money.
As it turned out, Duan Baiyue was indeed extremely cooperative, and only three days after receiving the letter, he secretly came to Great Kun City in person.
With the red armor wolf in her arms, Ye Jin turned her head and went back to the bedroom.
Duan Baiyue felt a little funny, but he was really a brother.
"I wonder if the King of Southwest ever understood that letter?" Wen Liunian asked impatiently.
"Actually, it's just a folk rumor." Duan Baiyue said, "There is nothing special about pirates committing crimes and being beheaded by a group of mermaids in the end."
"Did you mention the origin of the sharks?" Wen Liunian asked.
Duan Baiyue shook her head.
"Which sea area does the story take place?" Wen Liunian did not give up.
Duan Baiyue said: "I haven't explained it either."
Wen Liunian: "..."
"It's not surprising that the folk tales are told like this, but there is something in it that adults should really doubt." Duan Baiyue said, "Even if there are sharks, they should be in the East China Sea. Why is this story written in the Miaojiang tribe? .”
"What does the King of Southwest think?" Wen Liunian asked.
"What is Miao Jiang best at?" Duan Baiyue asked back.
"... Gu control?" Wen Liunian thought for a while, then frowned and said, "So what the King of Southwest means is that these mermaids have been poisoned by Gu, or that there is a type of Gu poison that can turn people into mermaids?"
"The poison is only used to manipulate others. Even if it is backlashed, at most it will only deform the limbs and distort the face, but it can't turn the legs into fish tails." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "My lord is thinking too much."
"Then what does the Southwest King mean?" Wen Liunian hesitated.
"I will send people to the Miaojiang area to find out the news." Duan Baiyue said, "Does the Emperor Chu know about this?"
"Cough!" Ye Jin found a cat from nowhere, hugged and coughed in circles at the door.
Shen Qianfeng: "..."
"Of course I know." Wen Liunian nodded earnestly, "If the King of Southwest can help this time, I will definitely write a long note and ask the emperor for credit."
"It's not necessary to ask for a reward." Duan Baiyue rubbed her chin and said meaningfully, "When the emperor of Chu personally marches, it will be faster for me to award the reward in person."
After all, for some things, it is better to hurry up.
