[Chapter 63 - The Nanyangs on the Island] Mechanism Mist Array

The palace was not originally used to hold prisoners, so it was empty, only Cuigu was alone, sitting on the ground with her knees crossed. The hair is a little messy, but it's not too wolfy.

"Why don't you hurry up and see the emperor?" The cell boss scolded.

Cui Gu looked up at Chu Yuan, and a trace of surprise crossed her eyes. First, he said that he would send her to the king of the southwest for interrogation, and he thought that this was the prison of the southwest mansion, but he didn't expect to see the emperor.

"You're Aunt Cui?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Yes." Cui Gu knelt on the ground, "The folk girl knocks on the emperor." ”

"Get up." Chu Yuan said, "Make everything clear, if you are not guilty, I will let you go, if you are guilty, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will also promise you a light punishment, at least you can save your life, and even go to see that little baby." ”

"Your Majesty." Cui Gu stood up, still with her head down, looking not like a murderer, but like a simple woman.

"Tell me where you came from." Chu Yuan said, "Is it really from the tide cliff?" ”

"Yes." Cui Gu nodded, "The folk girl has been on Chaoya Island since she was born, and she has been growing up until she is eighteen years old before she goes back to sea. ”

"Come to Chu State?" Chu Yuan asked.

"There is not much gold on Chaoya Island, and there is no food, in order to make a living, in recent years, almost every family will send their daughters to Dachu." Cuigu said, "Although my people are not as beautiful as the Central Plains women, they are born with a good voice, so they are also quite popular in the song shop and dance shop." ”

Chu Yuan said: "The rumored tide cliff mystery? ”

"Only those who practice martial arts can understand what the tide cliff mystical sound is." Cuigu said, "Most of the people on the island are like me, they only know a few punches and kicks, so they don't know how to confuse people's minds, and they only sing a little song to make a living." ”

"What is the situation on Tide Cliff Island now?" Chu Yuan asked again.

"I left there six years ago." Cuigu said, "Originally, everyone's life was almost over, the tsunami flooded most of the houses, and there were no merchant ships to and fro, which meant that there was no food. During those days, even the elders, let alone the young people, who had been sticking to the island, began to waver. ”

"In such a difficult environment, I am reluctant to leave." Chu Yuan said, "Reason." ”

Cui Gu paused and said, "For the sake of the rumored treasure, that is the real Golden Island, not the tide cliff. The predecessors brought wealth from the Golden Island, but lost half of the navigation charts, so many years of Chaoya people have been sitting on the empty mountains and leisurely and hard work, so they will end up today. The woman can still make a living in the Chu State with a good voice, but the man has no strengths and is unwilling to do coolies, so he would rather die than leave Chaoya Island, hoping that one day he can find the sea route to the Golden Island again. ”

Chu Yuan nodded slightly: "Go on." ”

"Later, the leader of the Nanfang faction, the White Egret, went to sea to ask for assistance and brought the Nanyang people with him." Cuigu said, "The three big ships are full of grain and livestock, fine silk woven from the south of the Chu State, plant seeds, and more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. ”

And for the Chaoya people at that time, this was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

"The island has always been ruled by Xuantian, the leader of the Northern Sect, and he can't get used to these Nanyangs, but he has to rely on them. As a result, the power of the southern faction gradually grew, and after the prestige was established, the northern faction was completely expelled from the island, and Xuantian fled, leaving only a dozen old people, who were able to survive because they knew some secrets related to the treasure. Cui Gu said, "The leader of the Nanyang people married my sister and wanted to marry me, but my sister was not happy, so I went to sea in anger and never went back. ”

"Where did those Nanyangs come from?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.

"No one knows, not even the leader of the Southern Faction, the Egret. When he went to sea, he encountered a storm and was rescued by this group of people, so he was able to get acquainted. Cuigu said, "These Nanyang people are extremely good at arranging formations, but thanks to them, some of the pirates who coveted Chaoya Island a few years ago were finally blocked. ”

Chu Yuan said: "So capable? ”

"They are extremely good at the Five Elements Bagua, and they have laid more than a dozen layers of trap arrays outside Chaoya Island, and voodoo has been planted inside." Cuigu said, "Outsiders don't say that they are breaking in, even if they get close, they may be swallowed by the storm." ”

Chu Yuan's expression instantly darkened. Over the years, there have indeed been excerpts from coastal magistrates, saying that fishing boats often disappear mysteriously at sea, and they have always thought that pirates are making trouble, and they have sent troops to attack more than a dozen times, and the captured prisoners have shouted injustice again and again, but they did not expect that there is still this reason.

"How is Xuantian, the leader of the Northern Sect, how does he behave on weekdays, and when was he expelled from Chaoya Island?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Xuantian was originally the most prestigious person on the island, his martial arts were extremely high, but he was also extremely brutal, he lived in Dachu for a period of time when he was young, and according to the old man, he almost killed the Egret family in order to return to the island □□." Cuigu said, "I was expelled from the island more than ten years ago, and I should be sixty years old this year. ”

"Where's the egret?" Chu Yuan asked again.

"Compared with Xuantianlai, the egret is much more shrewd, and he is willing to hand over the power to the Nanyang people and live a free life by himself." Cuigu said, "His father's name is Bai Er, and he died at the hands of Xuantian when he was □□, so he hates him very much, and he also hates the Northern Sect. ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Not bad." ”

"What the folk girl said is true." Cui Gu said, "I just want to save my life." ”

"Yu Shu's case is also being investigated, he has indeed done a lot of evil behind his back, and it is not a capital crime for you to kill him." Chu Yuan said, "Let's stay in this prison for a while, I promised to let you go, but not now." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Gu knelt on the ground, and her heart was happy.

Chu Yuan turned around and walked out of the prison, Sixi Zhenghou was outside, and hurriedly greeted him after seeing it, saying that Duan Xiaowang had finished practicing kung fu and was waiting in the dining room.

Chu Yuan smiled, and after returning to the dormitory, Duan Yaoguo was really napping at the dining table with his cheeks, and most of the plate of dim sum in front of him had already been eaten.

"I forgot to tell the inner servant, it's better to wait for me to come back." Chu Yuan sat across from him and said, "Hungry, aren't you?" ”

"No, no." Duan Yao yawned, shook his head again and again, and said, "I'm not hungry at all." ”

"I ate too many chili peppers yesterday, and today I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some light meals." Chu Yuan said, "Otherwise, it's time to get on fire." ”

Duan Yao said: "Anything is good. "As long as you don't ask any more Antarctic immortals...... No, the white-eyed fairy Weng and Tianchensha let themselves eat a meal of green vegetables.

"How are you practicing martial arts today?" Chu Yuan handed him the chopsticks.

"It's also four moves." Duan Yao said, "It's not difficult, then the Burning Star Bureau is really interesting." ”

"After studying for so long, do you know the name of that old-timer?" Chu Yuan asked again.

Duan Yao shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask." My brother said that everyone has a sad past, and if the old man doesn't want to mention it, it's rude to ask. ”

"Everyone has a sad past." Chu Yuan smiled, "Is this really what your brother said?" ”

Duan Yao: "......"

Be...... Yes......

Chu Yuan asked, "Then did he say, what is his sadness?" ”

Duan Yao almost threw his head into the sky: "I don't know, I don't know." ”

Chu Yuan reminded: "I'm going to faint." ”

Duan Yao quickly paused.

Chu Yuan pinched a chopstick dish for him: "Okay, I'll ask in person next time." ”

Duan Yao felt sad in her heart, you asked in person, and my brother would also beat me.

There is no way, life is bitter.

"I inquired before, that old-timer, it seems that this Beixing Palace came ten years ago." Chu Yuan said, "The chief manager at that time was kind-hearted, so he took him in, and he didn't miss a bowl of rice in a small courtyard, so he stayed all the time." ”

"It's been so long." Duan Yao said, "But his martial arts are not low, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so down-and-out." ”

Chu Yuan said: "Burning Star Bureau, how many days will it take to learn it all?" ”

Duan Yao calculated and said, "It will take ten days at the earliest." ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "In order not to disturb your practice of kung fu, there are some things, I will personally go to ask my seniors for advice after ten days." ”

"What does the emperor want to ask?" Duan Yao asked, and then said cautiously, "He is not in good health, his internal organs are sick, and he is drowsy, so he can't stand great stimulation." ”

Chu Yuan said: "But there are some things in this world, I am afraid that only he knows. ”

Duan Yao's eyes were blank.

"You are under the age of sixteen, and it is naturally a good thing to be kind-hearted and considerate of others everywhere, and it is also likable." Chu Yuan touched his head, "But I am the emperor, even if I shouldn't do some things, I have to harden my heart and do them." ”

Duan Yao was silent for a moment and said, "Hmm." ”

"Let's eat." Chu Yuan said, "The soup should be cold." ”

Duan Yao lowered his head and took a big bite of rice, and after a long while, he said again: "Can I also go together?" ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Naturally." ”

Duan Yao took a bite of the chicken leg, and was still reluctant to disturb the old man's tranquility.

Chu Yuan was thinking about Xuantian, the leader of the Northern Sect who fled in a hurry in Cuigu's confession today. Whether it is age, martial arts, experience, understanding of the Burning Star Chess Game, and the time of coming to the Beixing Palace, they can all overlap completely. Maybe it's really a person.

And the Nanyang people who followed the leader of the Southern faction, Bai Lu, to the island, since they are good at witchcraft and fog array, it is very likely that they are from the country of Fei Burma.

A Nanyang island country, for no reason, went to a desert island to be the leader, and gave food and clothing to the people on the island for nothing without asking for anything in return, if it is purely out of kindness, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

The reason for this must be understood.

This meal, both of them ate with a heartfelt heart. Chu Yuan returned to the dormitory, leaned on the bed after washing, the pillows were still two, the quilt was still one bed, but the person had already returned to the southwest.

Why the hell is there to toss and turn, wasn't it like this before? Chu Yuan glanced at the empty side, and it wasn't indefinite. If he had been healing for too long and had not seen anyone for a long time, it would be a big deal to go to the southwest himself.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Yuan was finally willing to close his eyes and sleep. In the dream, someone was injured and still lived in the southwest mansion and refused to come back, saying that there was no meat to eat in the royal city, and finally he was angry by the Son of Heaven, and even people and trees were thrown to the cold palace, grounded, eating vegetables, and eating for half a year.

Sixi's father-in-law pushed open the door and saw that the emperor had already slept, so he came in lightly and blew out the candles around. But I also wondered, what was this dream, I was holding the quilt in my dream, and I was not small when I saw the fire.
