[Chapter 85 - Encounter] Someone came to catch the assassin

Xingzhou Island is not far from the mirror country, and the originally uninhabited deserted island suddenly began to build a large number of buildings, which will naturally attract discussions from the surrounding people. It is said that the master above looks handsome and luxurious, and has a lot of wealth, and his identity is extremely mysterious, and when he thinks about it, he knows that he will definitely do great things in the future - it is worth taking advantage of the present to hurry up to a family of children, and one day follow a soaring fortune.

But some people say that although the master behind the scenes is luxurious, his temperament is extremely violent and ferocious, he used to have a wife, but then he couldn't stand the beating and scolding, and secretly fled with his son who had just completed the moon, and there has been no news for so many years, I am afraid that he has already died at sea.

While Duan Yao was washing the dishes and washing the dishes, she thought to herself, fleeing from the island, homeless and taking her son with the full moon, the woman of Da Chu - could it be the one that the second brother rescued from the mouth of the tiger in the back mountain earlier?

Maybe it really is! The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, Duan Yao's heart was excited, and as soon as he flickered his head, the plate and bowl in his hand fell into the bucket and shattered.

"Ugh!" The boss hurriedly came over to check, stomped his feet and said, "Why are you so careless." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Duan Yao hurriedly apologized, "I'll clean it up, and the loss will be deducted from the salary." ”

"No need." Someone behind him said, "I'll pay for him." ”

Duan Yao turned his head suddenly.

Chu Yuan smiled and put a silver ticket on the table: "Is it enough?" ”

Duan Yao: "......"

"Enough, enough." The boss was overjoyed, he was originally from the Chu State, so he naturally knew that this silver ticket came from the subordinate silver number of Sun Moon Villa, and his reputation was excellent, and he could exchange money wherever he got it, so he hurriedly put it away.

"I haven't seen you for so long, why are you so depressed?" Chu Yuan joked, took out a handkerchief, stepped forward, and wiped Duan Yao's wet hands dry.

Duan Xiao Wang Ye wanted to cry again, although he ...... But...... Sister-in-law!

Sikong Rui also jumped off the boat with a washboard, followed by Nan Moxie, Sixi, and a woman with a light veil covering her face, which was Jin Niang.

"Alright, let's go back to our lodgings first." Chu Yuan said, "This is not the place to speak. ”

Duan Yao nodded: "Hmm." ”

Since his identity is a homeless young man, the place where he lives naturally can't be too good, it's a dilapidated fishing family's courtyard, or his mother-in-law and aunt like him to be handsome and sweet-mouthed, thinking that he may be able to recruit a son-in-law, so he is willing to live for free.

Duan Yao made a few cups of sweet tea, then pulled a small bench and sat down, put his hands on his knees in a proper manner, and explained: "My brother has never come back." ”

Chu Yuan said: "I know. ”

Duan Yao said again: "The washboard can be kept for future use." ”

Chu Yuan agreed: "Okay." ”

Nanmo Evil: "......"

Four joys: "......"

Sikong Rui thought in his heart that maybe he could go out and get a few more yuan, after all, the price was cheap.

Good brother, talk about righteousness, if you want to kneel, I will buy it.

The affection is deep and meaningful, and it is very moving.

On the deserted island of the tide cliff, Duan Baiyue was standing on the training platform, watching the soldiers below change their formations. At this moment, he sincerely wanted to thank his master, who was the master of the Mind Method, but he had created an original one, and even those who were familiar with his martial arts moves could not detect the heresy. The internal force is extremely evil, and if you move some minds and change it slightly, it is equivalent to wasting your kung fu when you practice, and if you really start a war in the future, these people will be the vanguard, and it will save trouble.

"Sect Leader Wang." At noon, one of the guards came forward and said, "The master is here." ”

"Now?" Duan Baiyue frowned.

"Yes." The guard said, "A few guests were also brought with us." ”

Duan Baiyue got off the training platform with him and went to the port to see what was going on.

Chu Xiang walked towards this side from a distance, followed by a person, with a rickety figure and a black mask, it was the Qiu Halberd who was shot down the cliff that day.

Unexpectedly, he would meet him here, Duan Baiyue paused.

Chu Xiang smiled: "Sect Leader Wang." ”

"I thought the master would come next month." Duan Baiyue lowered her head slightly, staggering Qiu Ji's gaze.

"I just happen to have a friend who wants to come." Chu Xiang said, "This is Mr. Qiu, and he is also a first-class master of martial arts in the Central Plains. ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Will Mr. Qiu stay here in the future?" ”

"Not really." Chu Xiang said, "I can't hide it, I came here this time because I wanted to discuss something with Wang Jiaotou." ”

"What?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"Mr. Qiu will return to Dachu in a few days." Chu Xiang said as he walked, "I don't know if the head of the Wang sect is willing to go with him?" ”

Duan Baiyue was surprised: "Now? ”

"I know that Chu Di is a sad place for Sect Leader Wang." Chu Xiang said, "It's just that if you want to achieve great things, it's better to let go of these personal grievances." ”

Duan Baiyue asked again: "Why do you want to go to Dachu?" ”

"Sect Leader Wang is not an outsider either." Chu Xiang glanced at Qiu Ji, "Let's talk about your plan, you don't have to hide it." ”

"Yes." Qiu Ji nodded, and then said: "I got news some time ago that the emperor of Chu was not in the palace recently. ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"It seems to be Jiangnan, and it seems to be southwest, and its whereabouts are quite secretive." Qiu Ji said, "It's okay if you can't find out, no matter where you go, there are only a few ways back to the royal city." ”

Duan Baiyue frowned slightly.

Qiu Ji said again: "I have already sent a killer to Da Chu before, but Chu Yuan has a cloud of masters around him, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes." The opportunity is rare, so this time I will personally go north and ambush on the only way back to the royal city. I heard that the head of the Wang sect is strong in martial arts, so I came to ask, do you want to go together? ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Do you want to assassinate the emperor?" ”

"Sect leader Wang is also a smart person, I don't think it's all up to now, I can't guess who these soldiers, horses, grains and grass will be prepared to deal with in the future, right?" Chu Xiang stopped and asked coldly.

Duan Baiyue said: "Rely on these centaurs alone? ”

Chu Xiang sneered: "Sect Leader Wang thinks that my territory only has this desert island and Xingzhou? ”

Duan Baiyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go." ”

"Very good, the favorite thing in this king's life is the refreshing person." Chu Xiang patted him on the shoulder, "Just rest assured, after the matter is completed, there will be a person in the Great Chu Kingdom who has failed to the head of the Wang Sect, regardless of whether he is a prince and nobleman or a master of the rivers and lakes, he can kill him." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

Two days later, a black pointed-nosed ship left the desert island. Duan Baiyue was still blindfolded, but this time it only took one day and one night to drive out of the misty area. When I came to the island before, the big ship must have circled around the sea to confuse everyone, and it took a full ten days.

Qiu Ji has been sitting in the cabin, his eyes slightly closed and practicing, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays.

On this day, Duan Baiyue asked, "Where is Xingzhou?" ”

"Back to the head of the Wangjiao Sect, there are still three or four days to go from here." The boatman knew that he was a celebrity in front of Chu Xiang, so his attitude was very respectful, "Go to the northeast." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded, turned around and returned to the cabin.

Qiu Ji opened his eyes.

Duan Baiyue sat across from him and said, "Mr. Qiu." ”

"What is the reason why Sect Leader Wang is looking for me?" Qiu Ji asked.

Duan Baiyue said: "Where did the people who assassinated the Chu Emperor come from? ”

Qiu Ji said: "They are all the master's people, eighteen killers, who have been secretly training on the island for many years. ”

Duan Baiyue continued, "When was he sent to the Chu State? ”

Qiu Ji said: "Half a month ago." ”

Duan Baiyue asked again: "Can it be related to the Central Plains Martial Arts?" ”

Qiu Ji shook his head: "No, the operation has failed once." Outsiders are unreliable, but they can still be trusted by their own people. ”

Duan Baiyue said, "In addition, are there other assassination plans?" ”

Qiu Ji frowned unhappily: "There seem to be a lot of problems with Sect Leader Wang. ”

Duan Baiyue replied: "Since you have agreed to act, you naturally have to ask more clearly." ”

Qiu Ji closed his eyes again: "If the head of the Wang sect wants to know anything else, he will find an opportunity to ask the master in the future, and I will not have anything to say." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a chill in his neck, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Duan Baiyue's eyes were like knives.

Qiu Ji knew that something had changed, but his hands could no longer move. It was like thousands of ants in the blood, and little by little they lost their remaining consciousness.

Duan Baiyue threw away the Gu worm in his hand and reached out to remove his mask.

Qiu Ji looked at him, and a trace of panic flashed in his heart. The eyes hidden behind the silver mask were no longer as evasive and cowardly as before, without wind and waves. Instead, it was replaced with a familiar killing intent and blood-red hideous—exactly the same as when he was on the cliff that day.

"King of the Southwest." Qiu Ji spoke with difficulty.

Duan Baiyue said: "Being invaded by a thousand ears in the bloodline, you can survive until now without being confused, and you can be regarded as a master of the Gu Dynasty." ”

Qiu Ji had some difficulty breathing, and asked, "Why?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Because you don't measure yourself. ”

Qiu Ji sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, and soon fell into darkness.

The ship turned its sails and rushed to the country of departure day and night.

In the small courtyard of the fisherman's house, Chu Yuan was looking through the stack of newspapers in front of him, all of which were the news that Duan Yao had found out these days. Sin Chau Island, Fei Burma, and Chu Xiang and Liu Jinde.

Nanmo smiled evilly and knocked on the door with a bowl of egg drop wine: "Young master." ”

Chu Yuan didn't raise his head: "I won't go back." ”

"It's not." Nan Mo Xie sat opposite, and said bitterly, "Master swears to you, as soon as that bastard boy shows up, I will tie him up and send him to Wangcheng, and he will not be allowed to do anything again, this time I will not stand in the wrong line, will it succeed?" ”

Chu Yuan said: "If I can't get Tianchensha, I won't leave." ”

Nan Mo Xie looked out the window, looked at Da Chu from afar, knew it with affection, and moved it with reason: "It is said that it is to take the heavenly sand, but in fact it is the war of the Chu State against the Fei Burmese State, and this matter is not trivial." As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated, and all the people are still looking forward to the return of the Son of Heaven. Now that we know the whereabouts of Tianchensha, and we are sure that the country of Fei and Burma is complicit in the traitorous party, you can return to the royal city and send troops in a fair and honest manner. ”

Duan Yao lay outside the door and listened carefully, very moved-Master actually didn't memorize a word wrong this time, and his tone was also very sonorous, which was quite gratifying.

Nanmo turned around with a smile on his face, full of anticipation.

Chu Yuan's chin rested on the table, and he was sleeping soundly.

Nanmo Evil: "......"

This kind of sleeping position was seen when Yao'er was eight years old.

"How?" Seeing him go out, Duan Yao and Sixi in the courtyard asked in unison.

Nan Moxie looked haggard, and beckoned to the little apprentice: "In the future, when you marry a daughter-in-law, you must find someone who can listen to persuasion." ”

Duan Yao's eyes were full of sympathy: "Oh. ”

Sixi Gonggong's brain hurts - if this prince stays in the country of Fei and Burma, the emperor will not be able to wait.

It was a cold moonlight at night, and after Duan Yao comforted his master, he stretched his waist and returned to his small courtyard, but when he pushed the door, he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, so he instinctively leaned over and dodged, and threw a row of darts with his backhand.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "The secret weapon is good." ”

"Brother?" Duan Yao's eyes widened, "Why are you here?" ”

"Things have changed." Duan Baiyue said, "The Qiu Halberd is in my hands, and this Star Continent doesn't need to be guarded for the time being." You take him to the southwest immediately, and after handing over the people to the master, then order Duan Nian to take all the killers in the mansion to the north and guard the three official roads leading to the royal city. Chu Xiang has already sent someone to assassinate the emperor, the situation is critical, and it will be hard for you along the way. ”

Duan Yao said: "Ahem." ”

Duan Baiyue frowned slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Duan Yao pointed behind him and said cautiously, "You can talk to the emperor yourself." ”

Duan Baiyue's whole body suddenly stiffened.

Duan Yao shrank her neck, quietly turned around and went back to her room, and the moment she closed the door, she quickly lay down on the seam and peeked.

It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the waves.

Chu Yuan said, "How long are you going to stare at that door panel?" ”

Duan Baiyue clenched her hands, gritted her teeth and jumped to the roof.

Sikong Rui slashed out, stopped him halfway, and forced him back.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Yao opened the door a little bit, beckoned Brother Sikong to squeeze in, and generously gave him half of the door crack.

Chu Yuan said, "Keep running." ”

Duan Baiyue still had her back to him.

"How good you look when you were supposed to be." Chu Yuan walked into him step by step, "Even if this face is not destroyed, can it make the Great Chu Tianzi fall in love at first sight?" ”

Duan Baiyue closed her eyes.

"If you don't want to see me, I won't force you." Chu Yuan stopped behind him, "Think about it carefully, you have been forcing me for so many years, when have I forced you once?" ”

Duan Baiyue felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Let's go back to the southwest." After a long time, Chu Yuan said coldly, "I will get Tianchensha for you, and then we will not owe each other." What will happen to this South China Sea in the future, and what will happen to me in the future, has nothing to do with you. ”

Duan Baiyue's lips trembled, but she couldn't say a single word "good".

Duan Yao was in a hurry in the house, is his brother evil, what kind of stuffy gourd is he pretending to be, shouldn't he cry bitterly and hug his sister-in-law, even if he can't hug him because he is poisonous, he can't cry and explain the reason, after all, it is written in the small story.

Sikong Rui regretted: "It's a pity that those washboards are in my room." ”

"No, you have to find a way!" Duan Yao stood up, "I'm a little nervous, you think!" ”

"Good!" Sikong Rui's posture looks quite strong.

agreed so simply, Duan Yao was stunned: "Okay?" ”

"him!" Sikong Rui pushed open the door, and the horizontal and vertical conditions could not be worse than the current situation, and a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Duan Yao was shocked, and reached out to pull it.

"Your Majesty, don't hide it, Brother Duan, he has had some problems with his brain recently." Sikong Rui said with a surprising sincerity, "Crazy." ”

Duan Baiyue's face turned blue and punched him back.

Sikong Rui clutched his chest and coughed, still not brothers.

Duan Yao hurriedly closed the door, very pessimistic about the future - because whether it was his biological brother or Sikong's brother, it looked like something was wrong with his head.

Chu Yuan turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, the sea breeze was very strong and it was also cold.

Duan Baiyue stood in the courtyard for a long time.

Sikong Rui and Duan Yao squatted behind the door, sighing, staring wide-eyed.

"Silly apprentice." At dawn, Nan Moye reminded behind him, "The emperor is going to sea, why don't you stop him?" ”

Duan Baiyue's voice was hoarse: "What I wanted before, it was nothing more than to make him forget me, but now I want to be benevolent, why stop me?" ”

"If I forget you, I can find someone else to live a good life, then forget it." "But if you can find someone again, why do you have to go south in person several times, and even go to sea by boat." He is the king of a country, and he is also a king of a country that wants to go down in history, but in his heart, you even have to be more important than the society. ”

Duan Baiyue clenched her hands tightly.

"What the hell is Brother Duan thinking?" Sikong Rui was almost puzzled, "It's not an Oiran, what if your face is ruined?" I didn't dislike him. ”

Duan Yao said: "But my brother is poisonous. ”

Sikong Rui said: "Then at least you can watch from afar." ”

Duan Yao said: "Do you want to watch it for a lifetime?" ”

Sikong Rui said: "Which is better to look at your sweetheart for a lifetime, or to be angry and complain for a lifetime?" ”

Duan Yao continued to say to the door: "But the master has said that the emperor is gone this time, maybe he can forget his brother and find someone else to live again." ”

Sikong Rui asked: "What if you can't forget it?" ”

Duan Yao said firmly: "If you can forget it, my brother thinks that the emperor can forget it." Even if you can't now, in ten or eight years, you can. ”

Sikong Rui said: "It has been separated for three or four years now, and the emperor still does not hesitate to wave his troops south for Brother Duan. According to this calculation, it will take at least another ten years to let go of the love and hate in my heart, and in another ten years, maybe I can really let go completely, and most of my life will have passed. can be obsessed with a person for most of his life, even if he has completely let go, and wants to find someone he really likes again, in that deep palace, I am afraid it is not easy. The best result is nothing more than waking up when you are old, filling the harem with a wide selection of draft girls, and becoming an emperor every day of drunkenness. If Brother Duan can wait for this day, he must be quite gratified. ”

"That's pretty good." Duan Yao pursed his lips, "If you can't forget it for the rest of your life, then it's miserable." No matter whether it is love or hate at that time, it is a person, you can't see it if you love, you can't fight it if you hate it, and you can't suffocate it to death. ”

Duan Baiyue's heart was in a mess, and she turned around and rushed out of the small courtyard.

Duan Yao and Sikong Rui clapped their hands.

Nanmo also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law wrapped his cloak for him, "It's windy outside, go back." ”

Chu Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the port farther and farther away, his eyes getting colder and colder.

Sixi's father-in-law sighed in his heart.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and finally turned around and went back to the cabin.

After a while, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the father-in-law of Sixi exclaimed outside: "King of the Southwest? ”

Chu Yuan didn't hesitate for a moment, and said coldly: "Come on, catch the assassin." ”
