Chapter 40 - Finding: You are not that important

"More than ten years ago, the people of the Chaoya clan went to the palace once." Duan Baiyue said, "Does the owner of Jinglou know what it is for?" ”

Jing Liutian shook his head: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"This king doesn't know, but I heard that when he left, these Chaoya people asked the Chu Emperor for a lot of gold, silver and jewelry." Duan Baiyue said, "If it's true that the island is full of gold, why do you care about these things? ”

Jing Liutian said: "Greed is endless. ”

"It's hard to say whether you are greedy or not, but there is always a difference between reasonable and unreasonable things." Duan Baiyue said, "If the Chaoya Clan really has a golden mountain, then one more box and one less box won't make much difference. traveled thousands of miles into the palace to do things for the Chu Emperor, but just to bring back two boxes of dispensable gold, it is better not to have anything, but also to win a high reputation and a bright festival, so as to please other favors in the future. ”

Jing Liutian frowned: "What does the prince mean, is it that the younger brother below is lying?" ”

"This sentence was said by the owner of Jinglou." Duan Baiyue smiled, "This king only makes a guess, as for whether it is true or false, I am afraid that only the owner of Jinglou can tell it by himself." ”

Jing Liutian was thoughtful when he heard this.

"How is Yu Shu a person?" Duan Baiyue poured a glass of wine for herself.

"It's not good, it's not bad, I'm afraid that eighty percent of the officials of Da Chu are like him." Jingliu Tiandao, "Some greed, no great evil, will collude with the squires to do some unseemly deeds, and will also build roads and bridges for the people to solve cases and send food." ”

"What about the Tide Cliff people?" Duan Baiyue asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Jing Liutian said: "At the beginning, Yu Shu said that this group of people was a witch clan, and they would be killed. Feiluanlou collected money to do things, and notified many people in the rivers and lakes, there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but no one has gone to the government to receive the bounty, and there is no news recently, and it is estimated that he has fled.

"Where to flee?" Duan Baiyue asked again, "South or North?" ”

"Go north." Jing Liutian replied, "Why did Yu Shu die, it's hard to say now." However, it should not be done by the people of Chaoya themselves, in addition to being able to confuse people with mist sounds, their kung fu is not high. The wound between Yu Shu's throat was very deep, it was sealed by a sword, and the time of the murder was in the afternoon, and the family members patrolling the courtyard only had time to see the black shadow flashing in front of them, and the aunt in the study began to scream, and when he broke the door, Yu Shu was already sitting on the chair and dying. ”

"There's an aunt in the study?" Duan Baiyue touched her chin.

"It's a girl brought back from the Qinglou in Wangcheng, named Cuigu." Jingliu Tiandao, "There is no background, and the posture is mediocre, but the voice is tactful, and Yu Shu will spend money to redeem people because of this." ”

"As the owner of Jinglou, there should be no problem if you want to intervene in the investigation." Duan Baiyue said, "Can you ask a few questions for Mrs. Na for this king?" ”

"Nature." Jing Liutian nodded.

The two of them had not finished drinking a pot of wine, but the next person came to report it again, saying that someone asked to see him, claiming that the little son of the family was in trouble.

"Little boy?" Jing Liutian looked at Duan Baiyue.

After going out, the person who came was really a thought.

"What's going on?" Duan Baiyue frowned, "Why are you alone, Yao'er?" ”

"Back to the prince, the little prince ran away with someone." Duan Nian was out of breath.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Ran away with someone? “

"In the evening, the little prince wanted to eat river fresh, so we went to find a restaurant." Duan Nian said, "I happened to meet the people of Sun Moon Mountain Villa there, and the little prince had a good conversation with them, and when his subordinates came back after settling the accounts, the people were gone." "I asked Xiao Er, but he only said that he went out of the city, and he chased ten miles by horse, but he didn't see a figure, so he had no choice but to come back first to tell him.

"Are you really from Sun Moon Villa?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Before Duan Nian could speak, Jing Liutian said on the side: "Recently, I heard that Senior Young Master Shen sent some people to Luozhou, if you want to go back to Sun Moon Villa, you should pass by here." Moreover, Cangnan Prefecture is the territory of Feiluan Tower, and no one should be bold enough to dare to pretend to be Sun Moon Villa. ”

"If that's the case, then let him go." Duan Baiyue said, "If you have played enough, you will naturally come back, if you haven't played enough, you will follow all the way to Jiangnan, and the Shen family should not be stingy with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice." ”

Jing Liutian smiled: "The prince will do business." ”

Duan Nian was full of sorrow and nodded to receive his life.

On the mountain road at the other end, the secret guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa was stretching out his finger: "This is the direction, when we entered the city that day, we saw a man in black walking up the mountain, but we didn't think too much, if we knew that it was the Chaoya clan, we would have followed up." ”

"Thank you." Duan Yao said, "I'll take a look." ”

"Little prince, let's wait until daytime." Dark Guard said, "There are many dangers here, known as the nine ghosts descending the mountain, not that it is really haunted, but the mountain road is too slippery and muddy, and there are falling rocks, so go alone at night, I am afraid that there will be danger." ”

"It doesn't matter." Duan Yao was stubborn, "If it drags on for another day, I don't know where I have to go to find it." ”

It was not easy to get a clue.

The dark guards of Sun Moon Mountain Villa glanced at each other, feeling a little helpless, but they couldn't resist him, so they had to protect them behind them and go to the mountain together-otherwise, if they were injured because of this, it would be really difficult to explain to the Southwest Mansion.

The wind is gusting in the mountains, and listening carefully to the crying of children, it is really creepy. Seeing Duan Yao just walk forward without saying a word, the dark guards of Sun Moon Mountain Villa all had a headache, not to mention that the nine ghosts descended the mountain and stretched very widely, just in the middle of the night, it was impossible to find someone with just a few torches.

"Quack!" The purple toad cried in his arms.

Sun Moon Villa Secret Guard: "......"

What the hell.

Duan Yao's pace accelerated more and more.

"Quack!" The purple toad screamed merrily.

A moment later, there was a sound of rustling on both sides of the road, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of snakes crawled out, in red, white, black, and green.

"Don't hurt them." Duan Yao turned around and admonished.

The dark guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa had no choice but to insert the sword he drew back in.

The small bugs buzzed and flew above their heads, and soon circled into a black fog dragon, and they were not afraid to encounter torches. All the insects along the way seemed to have been awakened from a dream, and walked forward with a menacing attitude.

Looking at the colorful insects around Duan Yao, the dark guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa had goosebumps. Compared to this, the Gu worms that Lord Ye Gu had raised in the mountain villa before were really not interesting at all. It is said that the southwest province is a nest of poisonous insects, and I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it.

The insects chirped louder and louder, and by the end, the whole mountain came alive.

Everyone climbed to the highest mountain rock, Duan Yao put the purple toad into a small bag, and said, "Let's take a look around, there should be a fire soon, be careful not to hurt people, and be careful not to hurt people, but also be careful of their tide cliff miscellaneous." ”

The dark guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa nodded, and split up to look in all directions.

"There!" Soon someone noticed the fire, like a stream in the mountains.

"Let's go!" Duan Yao immediately decided to run down the mountain.

Countless insects buzzed into the cave, and poisonous snakes hissed and spitted letters. The woman in black was holding the baby in her arms, her eyes full of panic. More than a dozen men in black gathered around her, holding torches in their hands, constantly dispersing the snakes, insects, rats and ants that pounced on her.

"There are too many poisonous insects here, and there is no need to fight hard." The woman said hurriedly, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go? The dog thieves in the government outside are still waiting to kill. One of the men said fiercely, "I don't know which demon sect it is, with this kind of indiscriminate method, don't panic, the Holy Aunt will definitely protect you and Xiao Nan to go to the royal city to see the Chu Emperor, and ask him for reward and protection." ”

The little baby was frightened and began to cry loudly, especially in the dark. The woman hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear that it would attract pursuers.

Duan Yao jumped down from above, and there were seven or eight secret guards of the Sun Moon Mountain Villa.

The woman panicked and took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.

"Eldest sister, don't be afraid." Duan Yao hurriedly said, "We are not bad people. ”

"Bah, who are you thieves who want to put a reward for killing us?" The man in black drew his sword from its sheath.

"I also want to know who is going to kill you." Duan Yao spread his hands, "So why don't you go back to the inn and talk slowly?" ”

"You made these poisonous insects?" The man asked impatiently, "Who are you?" ”

Duan Yao didn't answer the question, but pointed back and said, "This is the person from Sun Moon Villa, Sun Moon Villa, have you heard of it?" "The one with the most righteous sky in the rivers and lakes.

"Are you the Lord of the Leaf Valley?" The man was suspicious.

Duan Yao hurriedly shook his head: "I'm not." "That miracle doctor is very fierce, who wants to pretend.

"The little boy is a friend of the second young master of my family." The secret guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa explained, "We also met on the way, so we will accompany him into the mountain to find you." These poisonous insects are the next choice, not for the sake of embarrassment. It's just that if this is not the case, adults don't care, the humidity in this mountain is heavy, and the little doll stays for a long time, I'm afraid that it will fall into the root of the disease. ”

"What do you want us to do?" The man continued.

Duan Yao said: "I don't know. ”

Man: "......"

The little doll didn't cry anymore, biting her fingers and looking at the circle of people around her.

Duan Yao said: "It's the emperor who wants to find you." ”

"Emperor Chu?" The man was stunned at first, but then he was suspicious.

Duan Yao said: "What are you lying to, I'm also doing things for people, that Yu Shu outside is dead, and I don't know who killed him, even if it's to solve the case, sooner or later someone will come to search the mountain, do you really want to leave?" ”

"Yu Shu is dead?" The man in black was overjoyed.

Duan Yao said: "I was killed by a sword, and now the people are saying that it is because I offended you." ”

"Offended us?" The man in black laughed angrily, "If there is really a way to kill him, why would we be a wolf here." ”

"So out of the mountains?" Duan Yao yawned, "My brother is also here, and the emperor ordered him to investigate this matter thoroughly, he is in the city at this time, and he is not in the same group as that Yu Shu." ”

"Why should we trust you?" The woman asked sharply.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but if you don't, we'll have to knock you out and take you out." Duan Yao said, "It takes more effort and it hurts the peace, so try not to do it." As for the tide cliff fanyin, Sun Moon Villa is a person who has practiced the Moon Yang Mental Method, but I am afraid that even if you sing your voice, it will be useless. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone hummed softly.

The dark guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa really didn't react, but Duan Yao hurriedly reached out to cover his ears, because it was really ugly.

In the rivers and lakes, the internal strength and mental method that can keep the Three Realms and Six Desires out of the body is indeed only Yueyang. The man in black at Tide Cliff seemed to have believed a lot.

"Let's go." Duan Yao said, "Otherwise, it should be dawn, and there will be chaos again." ”

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the secret guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa had no choice but to say: "At least go with us alone, and after confirming that what we said is true, we can come and pick up our companions again." ”

"I'll go with you." The woman handed the baby in her arms to one of the men in black.

"Holy Aunt." The man dissuaded, "How can I let the Holy Aunt take the risk, let my Ah Si follow." ”

"It's up to you, and you don't have to rob it." Duan Yao said, "Wait until your doubts are cleared, and then the rest of the people will enter the city." ”

The woman nodded, there were doubts in her eyes, but there was nothing she could do: "It's okay." ”

"Let's go." Duan Yao jumped up the mountain road, patted the soil and walked forward. The man named Ah Si also followed. The dark guard of Sun Moon Mountain Villa accompanied the rest of the tide cliff people, waiting first in the cave.

Duan Yao didn't speak all the way, and he didn't like these people very much-maybe they had been chased and killed for a long time, and they had become a little overly vigilant and cautious, looking at everyone with a fierce look, even the woman was the same. As an outsider, he is naturally not qualified to say much about this, but he is too lazy to communicate anymore, and only wants to bring people to his brother quickly.

There were very few people in the city, and Duan Yao was very good, so he quickly took him back to the inn.

Ah Si slammed the wall hard, and there was a lot of murder in his eyes when he looked at Duan Yao.

Duan Yao was even more sure that this group of people was sick - the light work was so bad, he kindly brought him back, and he looked like he had been greatly insulted, and he really had a bad brain.

Duan Baiyue heard the movement and got up to open the door.

Duan Yao was relieved: "Hurry up, bring the person you want into the house." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Ah Si looked at him warily.

It's this immortal look again...... Duan Yao turned around and walked to his room, it was none of his business, it was better to wash and sleep earlier.

Duan Baiyue grabbed him by the collar: "Don't plan to explain? ”

"If there's anything else to explain, you can see it." Duan Yao said, "This is the Chaoya clan you are looking for, I found it in the mountains with the secret guards of the Sun Moon Villa, they didn't believe me, they were only willing to send someone back to see first, and the rest of the people were all in the mountains, about a dozen men, a woman, and a little baby in their arms." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "You are very fast." ”

"That's it, everyone is like you, you only know how to get close to the owner of the Feiluan Building." Duan Yao stretched.

Ah Si's face had already changed, and he pulled out his knife from the sheath: "You are in the same group as that Jing Liutian?" ”

Duan Yao: "......"

"Not a gang, but we did drink together." Duan Baiyue replied.

"Phew, don't think we don't know, that Jing Liutian is the one who ordered us to hunt us down, it's not a good thing." Ah Si kicked over the neatly stacked incense burner in the corridor and was ready to be changed, and slashed at a door with another knife - it was a shame that no one lived in it, otherwise it would be scared to pee.

Duan Yao looked straight and sighed, if you want to cut it, you will also cut your brother, what do you do to cut the door, you will not fight back if you bully the door, or your eyes are not very good.

"It is said that the Chaoya people are independent, and now it seems that people still have to go out and move around more, at least they won't be short-sighted." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "What did the Lord of Feiluan Lou do to kill you, someone spent a lot of money to buy the life of Chaoya from Feiluan Tower, I drank with Lord Jinglou, also to find out the reason, so that you can be fished out of the whirlpool, you don't thank it, you don't even know what Feiluan Lou does, but you are shouting here, don't you feel blush?" ”

Ah Si said fiercely: "Just say it well, Hugh will spray feces all over his mouth and insult my people!" ”

"Besides, if I really want to kill you, I need to talk so much nonsense?" Duan Baiyue's tone was slightly cold.

Duan Yao was very pleased, it was really her brother, and she didn't seem to like this person very much.

"What exactly are you looking for from us?" Ah Si was blocked by him, and he didn't know how to argue, so he had to ask viciously.

"Go and get him a broom." Duan Baiyue said, "First sweep away these incense ashes that you kicked over inexplicably, and then get down to business." ”

Duan Yao jumped downstairs, and soon ran back with a broom and dustpan.

"I won't sweep, let Xiao Er sweep, otherwise he will do something, this inn is not your home!" Ah Siyi sat on the ground, "If you want the government to kill me, don't let me enter the room!" ”

"Yao'er." Duan Baiyue said coldly, "When I went to the official mansion, I said that we caught someone, but we accidentally poisoned him." ”

"Okay!" Duan Yao turned around and jumped downstairs again.

"Cut." Ah Si's eyes were full of disdain.

Duan Baiyue pinched his chin open and poured a bottle of medicine into it.

Ah Si still didn't care.

Duan Baiyue carried him into the empty room next door and closed the door with his backhand.

Ah Si sneered contemptuously: "Don't let Lao Tzu sweep the floor?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "I'm afraid that you won't be killed." ”

Ah Si snorted lightly, reached out and just picked up the teapot to pour tea, but felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

The intestines seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and Ah Si knelt on the ground, his eyes blood-red.

"It won't take long." Duan Baiyue said, "It's only half an hour, and you can see the king of Hades after you get through it." ”

Ah Si opened his mouth and gasped.

"What this king hates the most in this life is that you are a person who is neither knowledgeable nor arrogant, has no cultivation in speech and demeanor, is not grateful, and takes it for granted that you cause trouble to others." Duan Baiyue said, "If you are interested, you can still move now, go outside to pack up your things, and then come back to ask for an antidote!" “

Ah Si almost crawled out.

Duan Baiyue shook his head, if it was possible, he didn't want Chu Yuan to see this group of people at all.

After a full cup of tea, Ah Si crawled in, his lips were blue and purple: "Antidote." ”

Duan Baiyue didn't embarrass him this time.

Ah Si drank all the contents of the small bottle, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and only took a long breath of relief.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Can you say it?" ”

Ah Si's eyes were unwilling: "What do you want to know?" ”

"What the hell happened to Tide Bluffs?" Duan Baiyue said, "Also, why do you want to go north to enter the palace." ”

"Emperor Chu knows that we have suffered?" Ah Si asked.

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Guessed." ”

"The whole island is dead." Ah Si said, "There are only a few of us left." ”

"For what?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Ah Si said: "Jinshan." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Do you want to save face in this formation?" Judging by your speech and demeanor, it doesn't look like you have a mountain of gold. ”

Ah Si: "......"

"Emperor Chu wanted to find you, but it was just out of curiosity, and he remembered that he had seen it in the palace at the beginning, and when he heard that the local government was chasing and killing the Chaoya people, he also sent someone out to take a look." Duan Baiyue said, "I advise Your Excellency, it's best not to take yourself too seriously, because you really can't be important." ”

Ah Si was pierced again, and his face turned even redder.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Don't plan to tell the truth yet?" ”

Ah Si said hatefully: "For the sake of ...... In order to compete for money. ”

"That's right." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Tell everything one by one, even if this king doesn't like you, you can be guaranteed all the way to the royal city, and you don't have to suffer from being displaced and hunted down by others, but it's a good deal." ”
