Chapter Eighty-Three: The Pursuit
[Chapter 83 - Pursuit] The ends of the earth are all back to me
Sikong Rui said: "What does this mean? β
"In the hand of one of the bronze figures, there is a red agate." Chu Xiang said, "If you can capture it in half an hour, you will win." β
Sikong Rui suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a formation." β
Chu Xiang said: "This formation is quite dangerous, and it is better for Brother Tai to be careful." β
Duan Baiyue said: "If I can break the formation, will I be able to go to Xingzhou?" β
"It's not just Sin Chew." Chu Xiang said, "If you can break this formation, there will be countless glory and wealth in the future, a small Xingzhou Island, Brother Tai can be seen, but I can't look down on it." β
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay." β
The rest of the people stepped back, and Duan Baiyue walked into the Eight Desolations Formation alone with his bare hands.
Chu Xiang pressed the mechanism, the bronze man slowly moved along the ground track as if he had life, the bronze man's arm suddenly waved, Duan Baiyue dodged, the bronze statue's left hand smashed into the wall, the dust fell, and even the ground under his feet was faintly trembling.
Sikong Rui covered his mouth and coughed, and said with great worry: "This cave really won't collapse?" β
Chu Xiang ignored him, but kept staring at Duan Baiyue.
The reason why the Eight Desolation Formations are difficult to break is not because of how fast the bronze people move, but because the entire formation suddenly looks extremely chaotic, almost irregular, but there is a * mantra hidden in it. The besieged person may be able to cope with it reluctantly at first, but after a long time, it is like being drugged, and his legs and feet are weak and trance-like, and it is easy to reveal flaws.
Sikong Rui looked at it for a while, closed his eyes suddenly, and began to be irritable for no reason.
The corners of Chu Xiang's mouth raised slightly, and said, "If it's uncomfortable, it's better to go out and wait." β
Sikong Rui took a few deep breaths, reopened his eyes, and said, "I'm smiling." β
"Your Excellency is already a master when you first see this, and you can stare at the time of a cup of tea." Chu Xiang said, "It's just that it's still a little inferior to your friend." β
While talking, the dagger in Duan Baiyue's hand had already flashed with cold light, and it was actually the wrist of the bronze man who was cut off. A red agate was shaken into the air, and Duan Baiyue flew up and held it firmly in his palm.
Chu Xiang was overjoyed: "Good kung fu!" β
Duan Baiyue jumped out of the Eight Desolation Formation and said, "Accept." β
"You can easily crack this bronze array, your Excellency is the first person in the past." Chu Xiang said, "That Central Plains martial arts has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so that such a master has been silent, causing me to almost miss a general." β
"It's over." Duan Baiyue said, "I don't want to mention the past, I just want to have something to eat in the future." β
"That's too humble." Chu Xiang shook his head, "Your Excellency will rest here for two days for the time being, and after two days, you don't have to go to Xingzhou Island again, go to another place with me to discuss important matters." β
Duan Baiyue's voice was still windless and waveless, and she only said, "Okay." β
Sikong Rui sighed in his heart, from childhood to adulthood, he can be regarded as seeing him go back to shit luck.
After returning to the inn, Sikong Rui took the previously negotiated price and went to Xiaofeiluan to pay the silver, but Jing Liuxuan smiled and said: "The employer has already paid me three times the price during the day, so Your Excellency doesn't have to break the bank." β
"How does this work?" Sikong Rui was polite, and hurriedly put the silver ticket back into his sleeve, originally he didn't really want to give it.
Jing Liuxuan said: "I just hope that if that brother Wang is developed in the future, don't forget my little Feiluan." β
"Nature, nature." Sikong Rui smiled, and said in his heart that your fortune is big, and it is really useful. Then don't catch it first, and wait for the thieves to be wiped out, and then it's not too late to bring this little gentleman back to the Central Plains.
Two days later, Chu Xiang really personally brought someone to pick him up, Sikong Rui was sincere, and he almost held Brother Wang's hand with tears rippling and reluctant to give up. Duan Yao hid in the dark and watched, with a straight toothache.
The big black ship set sail and left the port, carrying Duan Baiyue and Chu Xiang and the others, and sailed to the north together.
That night, Sikong Rui also left on a merchant ship, planning to go to the island where the Southwest Army was located first, and then make the next plan. Duan Yao continued to stay in the Mirror Country, guarding Xingzhou Island not far away, so as not to have any more abnormalities.
In the days of sea sailing, it is naturally lively when there are more people, but it is inevitably boring when there are fewer people. Chu Yuan sat on the deck fence, holding a coconut in his hand, looking at the seagulls and flowing clouds in the distance.
Nan Mo Xie whispered behind him: "The emperor can also sit so loudly? "Shouldn't we pay attention to some royal manners, that's what is written in the little book.
Sixi said fairly: "Master Tao is not here, the emperor can sit as much as he wants." "It's okay to lie down.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Chu Yuan turned around: "Tell me, how should the emperor sit?" β
Nan Mo Xie hurriedly said: "No matter how the emperor sits, he looks extremely majestic and tall. β
Chu Yuan looked at him for a moment, but laughed by himself first.
It's really like someone's master, and he speaks in a tone.
Nanmo thought to himself, and the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.
In fact, Chu Yuan was indeed extremely relaxed. In the White Elephant Country, there is a clue to Tianchensha, and YiqiΔ seems to be developing in the best direction. Instead of staying in the palace and complaining all the time, it is better to solve the troubles one by one first, and then settle the accounts together, it is not too late.
The identity of everyone on this trip is the Great Chu Business Gang, and the person who led the team is named Tang Su'an, whose name sounds poetic and picturesque, but he has a bearded face, first Duan Baiyue's henchman, and then inexplicably became Chu Yuan's henchman.
Chu Yuan called: "Sweet garlic." β
Tang Suan hurriedly said, "Young Master." β
Chu Yuan said: "The dock of the White Elephant Country, there are so many people every day? β
"It is divided into off-season and peak season, this is the last delivery period before winter, and there will naturally be more people." Tang Su'an said, "But even if there are many people, the entry and exit must be strictly registered, this is not sloppy, even if the silver is stuffed, the young master is afraid that he will have to wait for a while." β
Chu Yuan said: "It's okay. "Just to be able to look around, it's a lot more vivid than an excerpt.
Nanmo looked around on tiptoe, and then sneaked out.
Eight guards stood in front of him.
Chu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth: "Senior wants to find someone for me first?" β
"No, no." Nan Mo Xie coughed twice and said, "It's windy, go buy a hat to wear." β
Chu Yuan said: "Someone! β
After a while, more than a dozen hats were sent to Nan Mo Evil, with all kinds of fancy styles, which aroused the envy of a group of aunts next to him, and we also wanted it.
Nanmo smiled dryly, and lit wax for his apprentice in his heart.
It's not that the teacher won't help you, it's that your daughter-in-law is really too fierce.
It's better to ask for more blessings.
By the time everyone finally entered the city, it was already dusk. ordered food in the restaurant, and Chu Yuan took chopsticks and ate before he could take two bites when he saw a person coming up at the top of the stairs.
The four eyes met, and Jin Shu was a little surprised.
"This girl." Nan Mo Xie took the first step and said, "Do you know my young master?" β
Jin Shu came back to her senses, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here." β
Tang Su'an pulled out the chair and said, "Girl, please take a seat." β
Jin Shu handed the daughter she was holding in her arms to the maid and motioned for her to wait on the other side.
Chu Yuan asked, "Is it your child?" β
Jin Shu nodded: "It's just been five months." β
Chu Yuan smiled: "If I knew this, I should have brought some gifts." β
"Being able to see the young master just after birth is already a blessing for a virtuous child." Jin Shu bowed her head slightly. Compared with when he first entered the palace, his temperament is already calm and introverted, and he has a few β‘β‘points of virtuous and dignified mothers.
Chu Yuan said: "Are you still used to living here?" β
"Hmm." Jin Shu said, "The people in my husband's family treat me very well, and even my brother came once and said that my life is good." β
Chu Yuan quipped: "Your brother didn't tell me that, he was still crying for money." β
Jin Shu also smiled when she heard this, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and said, "Why did the young master come to this White Elephant City?" "It stands to reason that the Great Chu Heavenly Son is going south, and this White Elephant Country Lord should be unable to ask for it, so why bother to come.
Chu Yuan said: "I don't want to make a big deal about this trip, just to find someone." β
Jin Shu glanced at Nan Mo Xie and said, "Find Duan...... Is it? β
Chu Yuan nodded: "Have you seen it?" β
Jin Shu said: "Well, it was just a few months ago, in a calligraphy and painting shop in the city, I occasionally saw a person wearing a silver mask, and I shouldn't be mistaken." β
Chu Yuan asked, "Are you still there now?" β
Jin Shu shook her head: "It should have left a long time ago." β
Chu Yuan frowned when he heard this.
Jin Shu said: "If the young master wants to find it, my husband's family happens to be in charge of the registration of merchants coming and going at the wharf, as long as you know whose name is registered, you can know where you have gone by checking." β
Having said that, the fool didn't know that Duan Baiyue wouldn't use his real name. Just when Nan Moxie had a complicated mind and didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or give his apprentice an extra breath, Chu Yuan had already gotten up and went with Jin Shu to the inn where Duan Baiyue had stayed before.
"Merchants of Da Chu?" When Xiao Er saw Jin Shu, he naturally shouldn't be lazy, so he hurriedly took out all the books of the previous few months, carefully flipped through them one by one, and finally found a familiar name - Sikong Rui.
"Yes, yes, it's these three guests." Xiao Er said, "I have the impression that one of them is wearing a mask, and it is difficult to forget it." β
Thanks to this behavior, it is not suspicious, Sikong Rui has always used his real name - Hengzhi has not been seen for many years, and the outside world has never known that Wangxi Reef has a relationship with Southwest Mansion, so he should take his friends out to explore business routes seriously, and he is not afraid of being investigated. With this name, coupled with Jin Shu's help, it only took two days to find out the merchant ship that several people were on when they left.
"Thank you." Chu Yuan said.
"The young master is polite." Jin Shu said, "Just pay back some favors for my brother, and also give me a marriage." "After all, if you hadn't gone to the royal city back then, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to find a good person.
Chu Yuan smiled, turned around and got on the merchant ship.
"I've been running around for days, and I haven't had a good rest for a few days, and the wind chill was just a little better yesterday." Sixi's father-in-law felt sorry for Chu Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Master Nan didn't persuade some southwest kings at the beginning, and if there was anything he couldn't say, he made one run to the end of the world now, and the other chased the cape." β
Nanmo squatted on the deck, and he was also full of emotion. I'm afraid that one plaque of the love saint is not enough, and I have to do two -- one will be hung in the southwest mansion in the future, and one will be sent to the royal city.
I don't know if when the two meet in the future, a washboard will be enough.
