Chapter 208: Xie Xun is captured
"As for the glass factory, you have to hurry up and arrange it. ”
Bai Shu said to Yan Yuan: "I estimate that the love of mirrors among the princes and nobles of the capital will soon spread, and those rich merchants will definitely buy it at all costs. ”
"Yes, the subordinates have already arranged it. ”
Yan Yuan nodded.
"Well, I won't tell you about the secrecy of the glass formula anymore, you pay attention to it yourself. ”
Baizhu nodded.
"Yes, the subordinate province, if there is nothing to do, the subordinate will retire. ”
Seeing that Baizhu began to bow his head to process the documents, Yan Yuan bowed and left.
Not long after Yan Yuan left, a guard hurriedly ran in: "Sect Master, urgent secret letter from Dadu!"
"Oh?"
Baizhu raised his eyebrows, "Hurry up and bring it!"
Taking the carrier pigeon in the guard's hand, Baizhu took out the secret letter.
"Sect Master, my subordinates have just learned that Cheng Kun and the two elders of Xuan Ming and others have raided the Bright Peak, intending to capture the Lion King. ”
Scold!
Seeing the contents of the letter, Baizhu immediately sat up from the chair.
"Go, call Yang Zuo's envoy!"
Baizhu commanded the guard.
Soon, Yang Xiao walked in briskly from the outside.
"Subordinate......
Yang Xiao was about to give a salute, but was stopped by Baizhu: "Yang Zuo, look at this secret letter." ”
As he spoke, Bai Shu flicked his fingers, and the secret letter flew in front of Yang Xiao as if it was being held by an invisible hand.
After more than a year of getting along, Yang Xiao was already surprised by the magical skills that Baizhu occasionally inadvertently revealed, opened the letter, and quickly read the content.
"Yang Zuo, what do you think?"
Baizhu asked in a deep voice.
Yang Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "Since this letter was sent by Fan You's envoy, it must not be bad, but he said that it was the news he got three days ago, that is to say, now Cheng Kun and the others should have gone to the top of the light...... However, the Lion King and those who do not regret that they have a secret way to retreat, and their lives should be safe, so the sect leader does not need to worry too much. ”
When they evacuated from Guangming Peak a year ago, they originally wanted to call Xie Xun down the mountain together, but Xie Xun said that he had an intuition that Cheng Kun would definitely go up to Guangming Ding again and wanted to wait for him there.
After several attempts to persuade him to no avail, Baizhu and the others let Xie Xun stay in Guangmingding, accompanied by Zhang Wuji, and Yang Buregret, who felt the sword intent.
Worried that Xie Xun and the others would be in danger after they left, Baizhu specially issued an order that after he went down the mountain, Xie Xun and the three of them could enter and exit the secret passage of Guangming Peak at will.
In the secret passage, Baizhu left a lot of food and water sources, so that even if they encountered an accident, as long as they hid in the secret passage, they could guarantee that they would survive until they and others went to the rescue.
"That being said, but after all, King Xie is blind, and even if his unrepentant strength rises sharply after this year's cultivation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of Cheng Kun and the two elders of Xuan Ming. ”
Baizhu paced a few steps in place and said, "I still have to go and see it for myself." ”
"Sect Master, I'm afraid it will take a month and a half to go back and forth to the Bright Peak, and there are more and more things here, how can you leave easily?"
Yang Xiao hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates have been taught divine skills by the sect master, and their strength has also improved in the past year, so it's better to let my subordinates go down." ”
In addition to dealing with official duties in this year, Baizhu has not relaxed half a point for martial arts cultivation, the so-called "stones from other mountains can attack jade", he sometimes encounters some incomprehensible martial arts mysteries and will discuss with Yang Xiao and others.
Of course, this discussion process can only be said to be unsatisfactory for the benefits of Baizhu, but the improvement of Yang Xiao and others is too great.
Let's just talk about Yang Xiao himself, he learned a magical easy tendon forging bone technique from Baizhu, after this year of diligent cultivation, Yang Xiao feels that his current strength is afraid to double compared to a year ago.
Coupled with the bonus of the great shift of Qiankun, Yang Xiao thinks that even if he faces the two elders of Xuan Ming, the victory or defeat is between five and five.
Hearing this, Bai Zhu also felt that there were indeed a lot of things he needed to deal with at present, whether it was the matter of the cannon, the matter of glass, or many official duties on weekdays, he could not leave easily, so he said: "Okay, I won't go to the top of the light, you and Wei Bat King will take a trip." ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
……
After sending Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao out, Baizhu temporarily put aside the matter and concentrated on official business.
Time flies, and a month has passed.
On this day, Baizhu was working on the documents when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Baizhu said without raising his head.
"Master!"
Hearing this voice, Bai Shu raised his head in surprise, and saw Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao standing in the room, their expressions a little depressed.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Bai Zhu's heart sank and asked, "Why did you two come back so quickly, the Lion King?"
Yang Xiao and Wei Yi glanced at each other with a smile and said, "Sect Master, after the subordinates went to the Bright Peak, the Lion King has been taken away by Cheng Kun and the others. ”
"What?"
Baizhu was taken aback when he heard this: "Didn't I tell the Lion King that you can enter the secret passage to hide, did he forget?"
"The Lion King didn't forget, just ......"
Yang Xiao said: "Sect Master, let's allow Wu Fei and Zhang Wuji to come in and tell the story." ”
Baizhu had already heard that Yang Buregret and Zhang Wuji were waiting outside, and immediately agreed to Yang Xiao's proposal when he heard this.
Soon, Yang Buregret and Zhang Wuji walked into the room.
"See the Master!"
Yang Buregret and Zhang Wuji entered the room and prepared to give a salute to Baizhu.
"Alright, tell me what's going on. ”
Baizhu waved his hand to stop them from saluting.
"Yes!"
Yang Buregret knew that Baizhu was an unruly person, so he immediately got up and began to tell what happened after Bai and the others left.
It turned out that from the time they left a year ago until a month ago, everything was relatively smooth.
But one day just a month ago, Xie Xun suddenly woke up Yang Buregret and Zhang Wuji in the early morning, saying that someone had touched the top of the light, even if it was not Cheng Kun, most of them were not good people.
After receiving Xie Xun's warning, Yang did not regret it and did not dare to be careless, so he quickly got up.
When she came outside, she heard a shout of killing slowly coming from far and near, apparently a large number of people were attacking the Bright Peak.
Without waiting for Yang Buregret and the three of them to go out to support, they saw a group of Ming Sect members disguised as enemies coming inside.
"Cultists in disguise as enemies?"
Baizhu interjected.
"That's right, I'm ashamed to say it, at first, Brother Wuji and I didn't see that they were enemies in disguise, and we didn't know until they came close and were reminded by King Xie. ”
Yang Buregret's face showed a look of shame, "At that time, the disguised sect members were covered in blood, and told us that there were a large number of enemies who came to attack, so let's quickly enter the secret passage to hide. ”
However, with Xie Xun's reminder, Yang Buregret and the three naturally did not agree to them, and seeing that their deeds were revealed, these pretenders immediately revealed their true colors, and immediately launched a hunt for Yang Buregret and the three of them.
In the eyes of these pretenders, one of the three Yang Buregrets is a delicate little woman, one is blind, and the other is an ordinary young man.
But he didn't expect that this move, but he found that none of the three of them were simple.
Yang Buregret's swordsmanship is like a scythe of death, almost every sword stab will make these people have some color on them; although Xie Xun is blind, he has a pair of ears to listen to the wind and argue, and every time he punches, he will knock one person to the ground; even Zhang Wuji, the weakest of the three, is like the wind and successfully blocks their attack.
Seeing that they could not be attacked for a long time, these people whistled and retreated.
After these people left, without waiting for Yang Buregret to rejoice, Xie Xun pointed out that these people were just spies who came to test the light and the truth, and I was afraid that it would not take a day or two for the real enemy to appear.
"After hearing Lion King Xie's words, Brother Wuji and I naturally tried our best to persuade him to enter the secret passage with us to escape, but ......"
Yang Buregret sighed lightly: "King Xie is extremely stubborn, and he has to insist on seeing Cheng Kun himself before he is willing to enter the secret path. ”
Zhang Wuji also smiled helplessly: "My sister and I didn't regret persuading our father-in-law for a long time to no avail, so we waited with him together." ”
Two days later, Cheng Kun really went up the mountain alone. ”
Yang said without remorse.
"Wait, alone?"
Baizhu was suddenly stunned: "I'm afraid there is an ambush, right?"
Even without Fan Yao's secret letter reminder, Baizhu didn't think that a cunning person like Cheng Kun would go up the mountain alone.
"Yes, at that time, Brother Wuji and I also felt that it was a little strange for Cheng Kun to go up the mountain alone,"
Yang Bu sighed: "But King Xie didn't listen to our persuasion at all, he asked us to enter the secret passage to hide, but he insisted on stepping forward to fight against Cheng Kun. ”
"It's not that King Xie didn't listen to your persuasion, but he also saw that Cheng Kun was cheating,"
Bai Shu sighed: "He wants you to enter the secret passage to hide, just because he doesn't want you to be in danger...... As for himself, I'm afraid that he already has the heart to die with Cheng Kun. ”
"Sect Master Wei is right. ”
Zhang Wuji's face was full of sadness: "But it's a pity that we still underestimated Cheng Kun's insidious cunning, seeing that the father-in-law didn't let us step forward together, he immediately clapped his hands and summoned more than ten martial arts experts to besiege the father-in-law together, and the father-in-law ...... He was eventually outnumbered and captured by Cheng Kun. ”
