Chapter 603: Secret Dispute
Nearly noon, Li Qianqian's convoy finally arrived at the small city that was originally scheduled to spend the night the day before, this small city is called Yue Xian City, and the former three elders Yan Xiude is located in Songcheng, Xingchang County, Meizhou across the river.
Before the convoy reached the gate of the small city, it was sent out in advance to take care of all the stewards, sitting in the small stall next to the city gate, moving uneasily.
"Can you see the eldest lady?" the little guy who came back to report shook his head, and the steward sighed in disappointment, saying that he had entered the city yesterday, why had he not seen anyone until now?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw another servant running from the city gate. "Steward Luo, steward Luo, eldest lady, they are just outside the city when they arrive. “
The steward hurriedly got up and took people out of the city to greet them, led people into the city, and went to the inn they had booked before, and the captain of the guard took people to Yamen to report the case.
After reporting the case, Li Qianqian and the others put this matter behind them, and the young castle master of Yuntian Fort and his party rushed to Yuexian City in front of the gate of the city.
After they left the woods, they went back to the temple where they had taken shelter from the rain the day before, and everything in the temple was just as they had left when they left, and the companions who had been killed by the killers of Zi Mo Lou were still lying in the same place, and they dug a pit nearby and buried the people, and after taking away the luggage that had been left behind when they fled, they set fire to the temple.
They had no horses or carts, and only walked on their legs, but fortunately they had all practiced light exercises, and although their body skills were not as good as Liu Yi's, they could still cope with it, and they could only rush in front of the gate of the city and enter Yuexian City.
After entering the city, they found a restaurant to live in, and Shang Chengtao also sent his henchmen to inquire about the whereabouts of Li Qianqian and his party.
Li Qianqian didn't know any of this, and she was now being judged by Second Master Li and Ji Yao.
To be honest, these two people fight to the death, as long as they don't bother her, but it seems that they all want to pull themselves to their side, think about it, for Second Master Li, he represents the third room, and he is the leader of the Ruiyao Sect, if he supports him, even if Old Lady Li dies, Master Li will not be able to do anything to him.
As far as Ji Yaoshen is concerned, she has money and can support her, she is the daughter of Li Jingshi, and she is good friends with Ji Yaoshen, Prince Ping can use her to win over Li Jing, there is this effect, if Prince Ping wants to make things difficult for her concubine, Prince Ping will definitely protect her.
Therefore, Ji Yaoshen and Second Master Li are like two children who can't grow up, actively fighting for her attention, trying to pull her into their camp.
Since entering the inn in Yue Xian City, although Ji Yaoshen was a little wilted at first because of her small life, she cleverly found Mother Ye and asked her to help her recuperate her body.
Second Master Li woke up with a hangover, and his mind was rarely cleared, and after listening to the advice of the stewards and the little servants, he didn't go to the Qinglou Theater and other places, and stayed in the inn honestly, but as soon as he was honest, he would inevitably collide with Ji Yaoshen.
When the two sides fought, it was simply a light in the world, and when Li Qianqian couldn't stand them, he would order Chunjiang to stop them outside and not allow them to enter.
At this time, it fully reflects the benefits of Ji Yaoshen as a woman.
With Mother Ye here, even if she is stopped, there is a channel to send a letter to Li Qianqian, and Second Master Li will not be so lucky.
Because they had left a lot of things for Shang Cheng Tao before, the weather was getting cold, and many things were out of stock, so they had to wait for the goods to be delivered, so they had to stay in Yuexian City for a long time so that they could make up for the supplies.
Even if you have to go in a hurry, you have to prepare your things, so that you don't have to use them halfway but you don't have them.
Because of the long time spent in Yue Xian City, the number of conflicts between Second Master Li and Ji Yao increased dramatically, and Li Qianqian didn't want to deal with them, so he shifted his attention to the recent gossip in the city.
Among them, the case of wolf homicide is the most eye-catching.
"Is there a wolf around here? I really don't know where these wild wolves are coming from?"
"Decades ago, at the time of the disaster, there were indeed wild wolves running around, but they were killed by some general. "Because it was so long ago that the old man who spoke could not remember who had gone to exterminate the wolves.
I only vaguely remember that he seems to be a soldier, and the leading officer rank is not small, and he was still young at that time!
"How many people have you killed?"
"A dozen, or dozens?" the man scratched his head, unable to figure out how many people had been killed by the wolves.
"Is the county order Chen going to send someone?"
"Who knows, none of these officials are good people, my cousin's uncle was on an errand near the yamen, and I heard him say that! That day, those bitter masters went to report the corpses of their relatives to the officials, and they were driven out by the people of the yamen! What kind of false report did they say, poor you! They all went with the bodies of their relatives, and they were said to be false reports. ”
"Really?"
"Really, really, those officials!
Liu Yi raised his hand and plucked out his ears, and said in his heart, these people are really talking nonsense, obviously Chen County Order has already taken over the case, how can those people be driven out with the corpses of their companions to report to the officials?
Quietly leaving the market, Leoy and the pigeon guards met up, exchanged news, and then dispersed.
Liu Yi returned to the inn and went to report to Li Qianqian, and when he finished speaking, Li Qianqian said, "Since the official has taken over, we don't care about this matter." "Anyway, Zi Mo Lou is not a good place, rather than letting the people of the government intervene, it is better to let them solve it internally.
As for Skyfort......
"Shang Shao's people are still guarding outside the inn. ”
Li Qianqian smiled thoughtfully, "Don't pay attention to him, Zi Molou's people are causing infighting, and they won't go to the trouble of the merchant for a while, tell them the news, and then see what they do." ”
Liu Yi agreed, turned around and wanted to leave, hesitated and turned back. "Sect Master, the second master has sent a message that the Great Sect Master has encountered a problem. ”
"Oh, can't you find a place, or is it?"
"The place was found, but the land was not found, and Zhang Lao said that the thirteen princes seemed to have set up the arsenal underground. ”
Underground?
"Yes, and the entrance to the underground has been set up with a mechanism, and General Li asked people to go to Xuanji Pavilion to ask someone to break the mechanism. "The people of the Xuanji Pavilion specialize in studying the art of organs, and the price of asking them to set up organs is not cheap, and the cost of breaking organs is even more sky-high.
However, this is not the point, the point is that the Pavilion Master of Xuanji Pavilion is an extremely difficult guy, I heard that they want to ask them to set up an agency in addition to the price, but also to answer him three questions, he is satisfied, he will nod in agreement, as for cracking the mechanism, the questions to be answered can rise to five.
The price is often the easiest to settle, and the difficulty is the question he asks.
"What did he ask?"
"Not necessarily, everything from astronomy to geography is asked, and I heard that the question is that the early bird has worms, what will happen to the early worms?"
How is this a bit of a brain teaser? "Is anyone right?"
"I don't know. Liu Yi smiled bitterly.
"Did my dad get someone?"
"Nope. I'm still looking for where Xuanji Pavilion is. Lewy was a little embarrassed.
The location of the Xuanji Pavilion has always been a mystery, some people say it is in the Eastern Qi, some people say it is in the West Vietnam, and some people say that it is overseas, and the accounts are different, so it is necessary to find the people of the Xuanji Pavilion to break the mechanism, and there is still grinding.
"Didn't Elder Zhang also have research on this aspect?"
"This ...... I don't really know about the little ones. "If Elder Zhang specializes in this, why would General Li still send someone to find someone from Xuanji Pavilion?
Li Qianqian didn't embarrass him, "The people in Fengjiazhuang don't know either?"
"What Fengjiazhuang knows is the old site of Xuanji Pavilion more than ten years ago. Liu Yi couldn't help but gossip. "After the lord of Xuanji Pavilion got married more than 20 years ago, he has been harassed by his in-laws' family, so he plans to move. ”
"Moving, moving in order not to be harassed by the Yue family?" "Doesn't it feel right?" "Xuanji Pavilion is famous for making and cracking mechanisms, and if he doesn't want to be harassed by the Yue family, he can activate the mechanism and prevent his Yue family from coming to the door!"
Liu Yi smiled bitterly, "The Yi family is also a fellow practitioner, and they can easily crack the Xuanji Pavilion mechanism." ”
"Xuanji Pavilion and the Yi family don't know where they are in trouble, in those years, the two families went there to fight, causing a bunch of people to follow them to watch the excitement.
"There is a feud between these two families?"
"Originally, the friendship was good, but soon after the two families got married, there was a disagreement, but no one knew why the two families had a dispute, only that the master of Xuanji Pavilion walked there, and several masters of the Yi family followed there. ”
"Doesn't anyone know what's going on?" Li Qianqian poured a cup of tea for Liu Yi.
Liu Yi took it with a smile, and after taking a sip of tea, he felt the warm tea running down his throat and warming all the way to the bottom of his heart. "No one really knows, only that when the lady of the Xuanji Pavilion was pregnant, she was disturbed by her brothers and gave birth prematurely, and the Xuanji Pavilion Lord was furious and drove the Yi family out. ”
"And then?"
Then there was no then, and the Yi family never saw their sister again, and they didn't know whether their sister was born a boy or a girl. ”
Li Qianqian held his cheeks and was curious, "I don't know what they were doing to fall out with the Pavilion Master of Xuanji Pavilion." ”
Liu Yi smiled bitterly, "There are only a few things to think about, one is for wealth, two is for love, and three is for power, what else?"
"It should be gone, right, Xuanji Pavilion did have some power at that time, in order to build the palace of the dynasty, all countries were very polite to the people of Xuanji Pavilion. ”
When the palace of the dynasty was first built, it invited a master to help build the mechanism, but after it was built, what about killing and punishing these meritorious people? Or offering them a large sum of money? Different countries have adopted different methods, so I don't know what kind of situation the Xuanji Pavilion encountered in the first place.
"What about the original Xuanji Pavilion site?" was abandoned?" Li Qianqian asked, "The Yi family has provoked the Xuanji Pavilion Lord, and since they were kicked out, they have never seen their sister-in-law, is it because the Xuanji Pavilion Pavilion Master activated the mechanism, so that the Yi family can't enter? Or moved away? Even if he wants to move, his wife has just given birth to a child, and he was still born prematurely, the child must be very weak, can he move there? ”
"We'll have to send someone to find out. Lewis said, "But when the child is older, he will definitely move away, right?"
"Probably, it's hard to tell. We are not roundworms in the stomach of the pavilion master, who knows what he thinks in his heart?"
I don't know if her father knows, where is the old site of Xuanji Pavilion?
"By the way, Zi Molou and his party also live in this inn. ”
Li Qianqian nodded with a bitter face, she knew the news earlier than Liu Yi, because when they moved in, Li Qianqian and Lan Tang were coming back from outside.
Probably went to Songcheng to report the case, and stayed there for a few days, so it was delayed until now, and then went to Yuexian City to stay.
The captain of the guard only saw the middle-aged man and the military advisor in the lead, and he only knew that they had some companions, who had left with those who had been killed by the wolves.
As a result, those people were gone, and the rest died miserably, so the middle-aged man and the military advisor in the lead suspected that the handsome man who had taken the half of the people away and his cronies had done it.
Liu Yina was sent to inquire about the news, and the three people who took the lead in Zi Molou's team all had a relationship, so Li Qianqian was thinking, should he let him draw that handsome man?
Who knows if there is a problem with the brain of the person who exposes his identity when he chooses to go out on a mission, otherwise how would he choose such a time to expose himself?
At this time, in a private house in Songcheng, the handsome man who Li Qianqian thought was a brain problem was no longer as handsome as before, and his face was covered with several scars, cutting his handsome face into fragments.
His body and limbs were full of injuries, he was short of breath with his eyes closed, and the man sitting on the side with his eyes closed heard the sound of someone coming, and immediately opened his eyes vigilantly, and his nerves were tensed with vigilance, and the fingers holding the short knife tightened and released, and his eyes stared straight at the door.
The door opened, and in came a young man, who and the man with his eyes closed, both of whom were the henchmen of the handsome man, and they actually had injuries of varying severity, but none of them were as serious as the handsome man.
Seeing that it was a young man, the man relaxed, watching him put the tray on the table, and the three bowls of black whirring medicinal juice on the tray made people uncomfortable when they smelled it from a distance.
The man walked over and took a bowl and drank it all in one go, while the young man held the bowl and hesitated, "Drink it quickly, don't delay feeding the medicine to the master." ”
The young man was urged like this, so he had to close his eyes, drink it in one go, put down the bowl after drinking, quickly poured tea to drink, and after washing away the smell of medicine, he frowned and scolded angrily, "The one who killed a thousand knives, if I catch him, he will definitely make him worse than dead." ”
"Come on, if you have that kung fu, let's hurry up and feed the medicine to the master!" the man glared at the young man.
"Brother Can, when do you think your master will wake up?"
"I don't know. The man sighed, although he was proficient in medicine, he was not too good in the end, and they fell into the plot of the new landlord this time, which was too big.
Ye obviously noticed that the new landlord had planted nails in their team, but he didn't tell the middle-aged man and the military advisor who were in the lead, he thought that the other party would not make a move when he was on a mission, because it was difficult to predict what kind of result would be caused by a shot at such a time.
I didn't expect the other party to pick a shot at this time.
"Where did they get the wolves?"
"God knows. The man couldn't help but feel gloomy at the thought of his companions who had not escaped, all of whom had lost their lives at the hands of the wolves, and their injuries had been inflicted by the bastard's sneak attack while trying to save everyone from the wolf's claws.
"The new head of the family has a good relationship with the Dongqi Divine Doctor, and I heard that the old guy specially refined a lot of pills for her. ”
"So what? The old guy is paralyzed, and now he can't even speak, and he can still support her?"
"I don't know what the landlord is thinking?" "Do you want to kick the new owner and the new landlord to set up their own door? That not only must have connections, but also have money, a lot of money, but since the new landlord took office, the landlord asked them to do a lot of errands that do not charge money, if it is said that it is a last resort to expand the network, it is just that, the owner of these errands, has been friendly with the landlord, the landlord rushed to assign these tasks to them at this time, and did not charge a penny.
Or is he planning to come to these guests to collect money after he has his own door?
