Chapter 231: There is a senior brother
The implication of the closed disciple's words is that Xu Yan is only the youngest apprentice, Cheng Yu said this, obviously he knows that Xu Daoyuan has other apprentices. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Yan always thought that the old Taoist priest only had one apprentice, but he never thought that he would have a senior brother, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Xu Daoyuan does have an apprentice, he should be regarded as your senior brother, but he has disappeared in the past two years, and no one knows where he went. ”
Cheng Yu mentioned the secret he knew, and couldn't help but slowly lock his eyebrows, and said to himself: "If your senior brother returns, you don't need to take refuge in the heavenly prison, as long as you tell him that you are a disciple of Xu Daoyuan, and he protects you, not to mention the Xu family, even the current saint can't touch you." ”
Cheng Yu's words made Xu Yan's eyes widen when he heard this, and blurted out: "Could it be that my senior brother is the emperor?"
Even today's saint can be suppressed, Xu Yan habitually thought that his mysterious senior brother was the emperor's father, his words made Cheng Yu angry, and the old man said angrily: "The emperor has been dead for five years, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xu Yan then remembered that the previous emperor of Dapu had died five years ago, so he smiled awkwardly and asked, "Old man, who is my senior brother, do you recognize him?"
"Recognize? There is almost no one in the world who doesn't recognize him. Cheng Yu sighed, shook his head and said, "The white robe is bathed in blood, and the deep palace orchid is not left...... A royal family's bad fate, hey, don't mention him, Xu Yan, follow me to the Criminal Department, the old man will send you to the prison now, and when the matter of the Xu family settles, I will personally pick you up. ”
"Old man, what kind of white robe is bloody, and the deep palace orchid is not left. Xu Yan is now the second monk of Zhang, and he was puzzled and asked, "Who is my senior brother?"
"His name is Chu Bai. Cheng Yu obviously didn't want to mention the headache guy, and said: "When you meet him in the future, you will know who he is, let's go." ”
Cheng Yu looked a little anxious, and hurriedly left Dali Temple with Xu Yan, and after a while, Zuo Xiang's frame drove directly into the prison of the Criminal Department, and when he saw Zuo Xiang personally escorting a prisoner, no one dared to ask more from the top and bottom of the Criminal Department.
Then it's not a criminal prisoner, can a guilty prisoner follow Zuo Xiang generously, looking at the prison of the Criminal Department with a curious face, not to mention that Xu Yan doesn't even have shackles.
The prison of the criminal department, the capital division is important, guarding here is the forbidden army of the capital, among which there are countless masters, it is said that there are also cultivators in charge, a huge prison built underground, as soon as you enter the door, there is a cold wind blowing on your face, Xu Yan can even see countless souls swaying in the prison.
A real place to kill!
The identity of the prison felon, no one else dares to ask for it, but Xu Yan is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, this kind of good place can be called a haven tailored for him, he is now looking forward to the Xu family killing, it is best to have a big battle with the heavy soldiers guarding the prison.
Cheng Yu was in front, Xu Yan was behind, and not long after the two walked into the prison, Xu Yan saw tall wooden boxes stacked in an open space, and the guards around the wooden boxes were obviously some innate masters, all with thin waists and bright eyes.
"Your Excellency. ”
While passing by those tall wooden boxes, one of the guard leaders stepped forward to greet Zuo Xiang, looked at the young man behind Cheng Yu with a hesitant expression, and didn't say anything after all.
"Until there's news, just stand still. Cheng Yu knew what the other party wanted to say, but he didn't shy away from Xu Yan too much, and said coldly: "Hmph, eyeliner can be mixed into the criminal department, it's amazing, are you sure that only one person has approached the criminal department in the early morning?"
"The subordinates are confirmed. ”
Cheng Yu's face was slightly cold, and he said, "If you sneak out of the city in the early morning, judging by you, how far that person can escape now." ”
"At least twenty miles away. ”
The distance of twenty miles is not close, and escaping so far in more than an hour is enough for people to send the news back to their lair, Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to go out of Beijing, there are a few suspicious people in the Criminal Department." ”
"Five. ”
"A separate trial can be punished severely. ”
After that, the old man continued to walk forward with Xu Yan and walked towards the depths of the prison, but Xu Yan turned back step by step, and kept looking at a box inlaid with iron sheets.
Xu Yan couldn't see what was in the box, but he could see that the big box was steaming outside.
In fact, it was not heat, but a strange breath, and even though the box was tightly sealed, there was still a breath that leaked out.
Nimbus!
What's in the box?
Xu Yan looked at the road in wonder, and only after walking away did he ask, "Old man, have any prisoners escaped from the capital?"
"It's not a prisoner, it's just a spy. Cheng Yu personally pushed open an iron door, and it was the place where the felons were held.
"Is it a man in black, who went out of the city in the early hours of the morning to ventilate the news?"
Xu Yan's footsteps didn't move, and he whispered, hearing his words, Cheng Yu's expression changed obviously, and he looked at Xu Yan with a hint of puzzlement.
Last night, there was a spy in the Criminal Department, someone secretly spread a news, and the person who received the news relied on his agility and skill, avoided the tracking of the master of the Criminal Department, and disappeared near the city gate, early in the morning, Cheng Yu personally rushed to Dali Temple, and asked Li Hongyuan to send someone to cooperate with the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate whether anyone sneaked out of the city gate last night, if someone left Kyoto, Cheng Yu's long-planned plan could not be said to be completely ruined.
Xu Yan's inquiry, what surprised Cheng Yu a little was not Xu Yan's inference, because what Cheng Yu said to the guard just now, as long as there are people who care, they will roughly deduce some news, such as what important news from the Criminal Department has been revealed, but Xu Yan's sentence of the man in black is not quite right, unless Xu Yan has seen the other party, it is impossible to know that it was a man in black who fled with the news from the criminal department.
Without waiting for the other party to ask, Xu Yan took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and said: "After beating people outside the city last night, on the way back to Beijing, I happened to bump into a man in black who came from the direction of the capital. ”
As soon as he heard Xu Yan's narration, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, he took the bamboo tube and poured out the piece of paper, unfolded it and took a look, it said: The plan is canceled, there is fraud!
"What about people!" Cheng Yu raised his head sharply, staring at Xu Yan and asked.
"I hacked me to death. Xu Yan spread his hands and said, "Who asked him to do it first, I don't recognize him." ”
"Xu Yan, can you be sure that the man in black is coming from the direction of the capital, and where is the direction he is going?" Cheng Yu obviously looked anxious.
"Definitely, I'm going back to Beijing, he ran head-on, the direction is absolutely right, the direction of that person should be the dojo outside the city, oh, the direction of the Hidden Cloud Temple. Xu Yan said affirmatively.
"Good, good!
Cheng Yu's laughter frightened Xu Yanyi, and asked in a low voice: "Old man, what was in that tin box just now, it seems to be very valuable." ”
The boxes piled up in the prison aroused Xu Yan's curiosity, and seeing that the old man was very happy after getting the bamboo tube, Xu Yan took the opportunity to ask.
patted Xu Yan on the shoulder, Cheng Yu said proudly: "Good boy, your unintentional move has helped the old man a lot, since the messenger asked you to intercept and kill on the road, this strategy will be considered a success, those are heavy weapons of the military state, no matter what, the old man will take you to see the heroic posture of the divine artillery!"
