Chapter 36: Forty Thousand

Youshu raised her fingertips and looked at the blood stains on them. In between conversations with Ah Da and Ah Er, he used his mental power to communicate with a water ghost who touched the boat, and collected it at the cost of a drop of blood. Right now, he had to rejoice in his special physique. In this world, some things that are beyond the reach of human beings are easier to solve by leaving them to ghosts.

In order to win the trust of Ah Da and Ah Er, and let them take them back to Beijing to save people, Youshu said frankly, "As you can see, I can control ghosts." "Fortunately, the dragon qi I breathed last time has not dissipated, otherwise I wouldn't be a ghost today, but a ghost.

Ah Da and Ah Er looked around in a hurry, their backs chilled, and it took a long time for them to breathe evenly in their chests, and said in disbelief, "You can really control ghosts?" It's not some kind of juggling, is it? ”

"Take a sip of tea to suppress the shock." Youshu raised her chin slightly, and the invisible hand picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and held it very attentively.

Ah Da and Ah Er didn't dare to take it, let alone not take it, so they hurriedly took a few sips of the teacup, and finally choked and coughed.

Youshu sucked the bloody fingertips in her mouth, and instructed in an orderly manner, "Go to the next ferry and dock, let my mother and them go to Quanzhou to wait first, and we will gather people all the way to Beijing." The three of us went to the city to investigate, and the rest of us waited outside. If I can't do anything, you will rob the prison again. ”

Ah Da and Ah Er were already stunned, and they didn't know how to react except for Ne Ne's nod.

Within half a day, they arrived at the next ferry, and Youshu settled the Song family and others, changed a small boat and went to Beijing. The boat is very narrow, it can accommodate three people, and it is smooth water from Beijing, the speed is extremely fast, but it is against the water when it returns to Beijing, not to say that three men paddle together, it is ten people, one hundred, and it is much slower than riding a horse.

Ah Da and Ah Er held the oars and stopped talking. Now, they are really afraid of treacherous teenagers.

"There's something to talk about." Youshu is in a hurry, where is the time to grind with them.

Ah Da hurriedly said, "It's too slow to take the boat, let's ride a horse." Just got the flying pigeon to pass the book, the seventh prince has been poisoned to death, the prince is unconscious, although the emperor is fine, but the root is injured, at this time in the midst of anger, regardless of the patriarchal law to give the master to death. Now several old princes are dealing with him, but it won't take much time. ”

"The Seventh Prince is dead, and the crown prince is unconscious? What about the other princes? Youshu asked as she bit her fingertips and dripped a few drops of blood into the river.

"The eldest prince has died, the second prince has been imprisoned, the fifth prince died early, and the sixth prince is cowardly and incompetent, and he is a vassal of the prince." Ah Da briefly introduced the situation of the princes. Except for eating and drinking, Youshu is not interested in external objects, and it is normal not to know.

The blood smeared on the surface of the river, but suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if something invisible had sucked it all in. Ah Da and Ah Er stared at each other again, quite surprised.

In this way, it turned out to be a plan written and directed by the prince to kill two birds with one stone. The master went to Jingzhou, and the seven princes went to Huaizhou, and they will all be able to compete with one of them in the future. If you don't do it now, you may not have a chance in the future. Youshu broke through the trick and ordered to the river, "Send us back to Beijing." ”

Ah Da and Ah Er looked around blankly, not knowing who he was talking to.

The water ghost originally wanted to catch a person on the boat as a stand-in, but unexpectedly met this true Buddha. Now he doesn't look for a substitute, he can also be reincarnated, or even practice the ghost path to reshape the mortal body. Coveting the blood of the young man, he obeyed his words, and immediately drove the river to push the boat and shoot towards Shangjing.

Fortunately, it was already night, and it was dark, otherwise it would have made the jaws drop of others. Where is there a boat against the water rowing so fast, like the river breeze hula and passed, not even a shadow can be seen clearly. Ah Da and Ah Er were full of hesitation, and they all dispersed, and their hands firmly grasped the side of the boat, for fear of being thrown into the water.

Fast! It's so fast! This goblin is so powerful! No, it should be said that there are really good means! When the two of them looked at the teenager again, they had a sense of unfathomable and unpredictable.

It took a day and a night to go down the river, and it only took a few hours to go upstream, and the sun had not yet come out when I arrived at the Beijing ferry, Ah Da and Ah Er were still in a dream, and after jumping ashore, they stepped on the ground, only to feel that their feet were soft, as if they would fall at any time. Fortunately, they haven't forgotten their business, and they have already spread the word to gather people.

Ah Da ordered the secret guard to stay outside the city and wait, while he took Ah Er and the boy into the city. There were many officers and soldiers blocking the city gate, all of them holding an imperial list to compare there, and when they found suspicious people, they were immediately put into a cage on the side. The cage was very spacious, and more than a dozen innocent people had been imprisoned, and the cries of injustice could be heard from far away.

Ah Da's eyes are extraordinary, and he can see at a glance that it is himself and Ah Er who are depicted on the emperor's list, and even Youshu is on it, which shows that the emperor is intent on killing all the master's people. What can I do?

He stopped, intending to find a remote realm to disguise himself, but was pushed towards the city gate by Youshu, and said in a low voice, "Just go inside, don't worry." ”

The water ghost has been practicing for hundreds of years, but he can control the wind and water, and it is natural to perform a few tricks. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he diligently led the way, and patted his chest and said, "Your Excellency, please come in, they won't pay attention to us." ”

Look at Ah Da and Ah Er, who are like facing the enemy and fearful, and then look at the water ghosts who are triumphant and hold their heads up, and sigh in their hearts: In this world, being a ghost is better than being a person.

Youshu entered the city gate with his head, and no one from the officers and soldiers or the people glanced at him. They only feel that someone has passed them, but they can't remember what they look like anyway. Ah Da and Ah Er let go of their high hearts, and followed the young man into Beijing.

The palace had been sealed, and the streets were full of patrolling guards, and without the water ghosts' tricks, the three of them would not have been able to move an inch. casually found an inn to settle down, and Shu instructed, "Go and inquire and see if you can go into the prison to visit." "Although the blinding method is easy to use, if someone wants to enter the prison, how can the guards not stop it? Blinding is not stealth.

Ah Da and Ah Er are now the only ones who are looking at him, and immediately took the order to leave, and after a while, they turned back and said, "The master is already a prisoner on death row and is not allowed to visit." However, there is also Wei Shizi who is also in prison, and the Wei Guo Mansion is trying to find a way to rescue him, and we can enter in the name of the Wei Mansion. ”

"You contacted Wei Guogong?" Youshu couldn't trust anyone.

"The first queen Yu Weiguo had the grace to save her life, that is, the prince was implicated, and he did not fall into the well, but he was a credible person." Ada said firmly.

Youshu thought about it, so she could only nod, "Okay, let's go now?" He couldn't wait.

"Let's go now." Ah Da and Ah Er are also anxious.

The three of them took out the token of the Weiguo Mansion, and they had the protection of the Blind Eye, and soon entered the heavenly prison, squatting in front of the door of the Wei Shizi Prison and kept asking him if he was okay, as if he was really a loyal slave of the Wei Mansion. Ji Changye was imprisoned next to Wei Shizi, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, although he was a little haggard, but his demeanor was undiminished. Even in the crisis when his fate hung by a thread, he was unmoved, and he had a temperament of "the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed, and what could I do".

Wei Shizi was also very Antai when he was infected, and he took the secret letter handed by several people and hurriedly read it, and finally found the young man hiding behind Ah Da and Ah Er, and said in surprise, "Youshu, why are you here?" ”

Because the blinding method has not been lifted, Ji Changye can't hear the voices of Ah Da and Ah Er, and when he heard the word "Youshu", he suddenly opened his eyes, and looked out of the prison door, and his handsome face, which had never changed color, was finally distorted. He wanted to walk over immediately, but he was afraid of attracting the attention of the jailer, so he endured and reluctantly suppressed his anger, and asked in a low voice, "How did this king tell you two in the first place, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, if you don't send Youshu to Quanzhou, you are not allowed to turn back." Ah Da and Ah Er hung their heads.

"Stop talking nonsense! They had already sent me halfway there, and I had to come back myself. Youshu is usually slow, but when she encounters a big event, she is an anxious child, squeezed away Ah Da and Ah Er to the door of the prison, beckoning and calling, "Master, come here!" ”

Ji Changye became more and more annoyed, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't make trouble, go quickly!" He looked at the end of the corridor, for fear that the jailer would come and check.

Wei Shizi looked sideways, and it was the first time he saw his friend's gaffe expression. His concern and concern for the teenager were clearly written on his face.

"If you don't come, I won't leave!" Youshu hated to squeeze her face into the gap in the fence.

Ji Changye saw that two crimson marks were squeezed out of his cheeks, and his eyelids were torn into a line, but he was still desperately trying to stuff his head in, and he was suddenly angry and anxious. But he knew that the young man would not be able to pull back ten cows if he was stubborn, and if he didn't get what he wanted today, he would really squeeze himself into a piece of paper, so he had to walk over quickly and urge, "If you have anything to say, ...... quickly."

Before the words fell, the lips were already grasped by the young man, and then a warm tongue burrowed into the mouth and pried open the gap between the teeth, swept away the saliva inside, and then sucked and sucked. Ji Changye's arm was raised slightly, but he didn't push the young man away, but opened his mouth and put it on the tip of his tongue.

Is this kid rushing back for days to kiss just for this kiss? Could a kiss be more important than life? Ji Changye was confused, but more of gratitude and indescribable grief. At this moment, he would rather never meet Youshu, so that he is still the carefree child running in the snow, full of wolves but full of vitality.

He will be cold, starving, and even bullied, but he will live well. Nothing is more important than him being alive.

Wrapped the tip of the young man's tongue tightly, and kissed him fiercely as if venting, Ji Changye pressed the back of his head, and said with lips to lips, "Youshu, you listen to this king: leave the capital and go to Quanzhou when you get out of the prison, where someone will pick you up." Whether this king lives or dies, it has nothing to do with you. ”

How can it not be related? Your life is yours. Youshu shook her head in her heart, but she didn't have time to argue with the young man. He left with a "I'll get you out" and left in a hurry. The main purpose of entering the prison this time is for this dragon breath, but I didn't expect the master to cooperate so much.

Youshu, who was going to use tough tactics, was very satisfied.

Everyone was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, Ah Da, Ah Er and Wei Shizi were able to come back to their senses, and they all secretly thought: No wonder Youshu wants to come back regardless of the danger to his life, it is because he is in love with his master (friend)! Youshu really values love and righteousness!

Ji Changye and the others left before slowly raising their hands to hide their faces, blocking their red eyes. After all, I still hurt Youshu, how can I be safe in this life? ――

After leaving the prison safely, the three returned to the inn to discuss.

"What are we going to do next?" Ah Da got a cup of tea for Youshu, and treated him a lot of respect.

"Nature is to save people." Youshu urgently needed something to eat to settle down, and she didn't find half a piece of pastry after touching in the room for a long time, so she had to ask the shopkeeper to send some over.

Ah Da and Ah Er were going to stop him, but the quick-eyed shopkeeper had already walked to the door. The two of them pressed their palms on the hilt of their knives, ready to attack at any moment, and this unpromising appearance provoked a burst of ridicule from the water ghosts, and they actually conjured up many droplets of water and sprinkled them on their heads out of thin air.

There is a barrier to the protection of the law, that is, Ah Da and Ah Er are raining on the top of their heads, and there is a puddle of water under their feet, the shopkeeper does not feel strange, and after getting a reward from Youshu, he flattered, "Objective, what else do you command?" ”

"It's okay, you go down." There is Shu waving his hand.

Ah Da and Ah Er sat stiffly on the stool, frequently raising their hands to wipe their faces, but they didn't dare to cover the top of their heads with something. They can see that this "friend" of Youshu is very profound, and he has the ability to call for wind and rain and confuse people's hearts. In this way, the certainty of rescuing the master is even greater.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but look at the young man with hope.

Youshu swallowed a piece of pastry and said vaguely while chewing, "My plan to save people is very different from yours. Even if the gamble wins, the master is also a sinner, and wherever he escapes, he will be scolded by the backbone of the traitor and thief, even if the great cause is successful in the future, the history books will leave the stigma of 'tyrannical and unreasonable, and mutilating blood relatives'. ”

"What else can you do without robbing the prison? Do you want to vindicate your master? Ah Da felt that this was not feasible.

Ah Er also expressed doubts, "If you want to be rehabilitated, it depends on the emperor's intentions." But you must know that the emperor's hatred for his master cannot be eliminated quickly, even if there is no such calamity, there will be many accusations. There was only one day between the poisoning of the three people and the arrest and death sentence of the master. What can be found in one day? It can be seen that the emperor has an iron heart. ”

"What about the Queen Mother? The Seventh Prince died a strange death, doesn't she care? Youshu twisted her eyebrows.

"The Queen Mother has fallen ill and is unable to govern. Concubine Cheng is relatively weak, and she only knows how to find the Queen Mother when she encounters trouble, or she can't stop crying, which is also unreliable. Ah Er shook his head and sighed.

The prince's strategy is so vicious that it can be said that he has wiped out all enemies, including the emperor. After this incident, the emperor's life expectancy was greatly reduced, and he may go in a few years, and the crown prince will be able to ascend the throne logically. However, the emperor was dazzled by Concubine Xiao, where would he suspect their mother and son. What's more, the prince also used a bitter trick, and even poisoned himself. He is now unconscious, and he does not know whether it is true or not.

Thinking of this, Ah Da Ah Er hated not being able to enter the palace immediately to poke the prince with a few swords to see if he was still faint.

Youshu already had a charter in her heart, and she felt that her mind was stable, so she instructed the water ghost, "You go into the palace to help me find someone, no, it's a ghost, and tell her that she owes me a favor." ”

How can there be ghosts? Ah Da and Ah Er were already drenched in water, and they felt even more cold at this time.

The water ghost shook his head again and again when he heard this, "Lord Qiqi, it's not that you don't want to help you, it's just because the palace is shrouded in dragon qi inside and outside, and there was also an exorcism magic circle when it was built. However, the ghosts in the palace can come and go freely, and if you want to find her, you will have to make a trip yourself. Moreover, those ghosts and spirits in the palace are somewhat stained with dragon energy, and the small ones dare not provoke them. ”

You Shu thought for a while, and then asked, "Then can you ghosts and ghosts have a method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles?" Or is it the art of soul searching? ”

The water ghost shook his head repeatedly, "There is a thousand-mile sound transmission technique, but the small Dao is not enough, and it can't be used." As for the art of soul searching, the little one has only heard of it, but he doesn't know the method. ”

It doesn't work, it seems that you can only go to the palace. Without further ado, Youshu immediately made a decision, "In this way, you can use a few tricks to help us blend into the palace." ”

Only then did the water ghost agree.

Ah Da and Ah Er didn't feel strange when they saw Youshu talking to themselves alone, and after they had discussed, they went out to find three sets of eunuch clothes, put them on properly and walked towards the palace gate. Seeing that the key was about to be lowered, the eunuchs and palace maids who went out on errands were in a hurry, and when they arrived at the door, they took out their waist cards and handed them to the guards, and they could only pass through after checking that they were correct.

Ah Da couldn't get the waist card, and he was in a panic, when he saw Youshu swaggering over and putting a copper coin into the palm of the guard. The guard took the copper coin and looked at it for a long time, and finally waved his hand to urge, "Go in, don't step on it again and again!" ”

"Hey, slave remember!" Shu agreed softly, twisted the little waist and walked straight forward.

Wow, can it still be like this? Ah Da and Ah Er have really gained a lot of knowledge with the young man these days, and they have become more and more courageous, so they took out the copper coin and handed it to the guard, and then they were put in. The three of them walked to the cold palace and stood in a temple with dilapidated eaves and overgrown weeds.

"Who are you looking for? Oh no, what about the ghosts? Ah Da asked in a low voice.

"Wait a minute." Youshu took out a dagger and gently cut her palm. Blood immediately gushed out, dripping down on the cracked bluestone floor, and emitted a rich fishy smell. In the blink of an eye, the palace, which was still shining in the sunset, became dim, and a dark wind whistled through the broken window, hovering above Youshu's head.

Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Youshu looked back and saw Concubine Lan standing there. Purple flames quickly ignited in her palms, spreading from her wrists to her arms in an instant, and if they were not extinguished quickly, they would burn her to ashes. She let out a terrible howl, and hurriedly pressed her palm on the blood that had just dripped from Youshu.

Ah Da and Ah Er saw that the palace suddenly turned dark, and their hearts began to be vigilant, and they saw that Youshu's blood made a "zizi" sound, and it kept bubbling, and they felt even more shocked. The ghosts in the palace are really much more powerful than the lonely ghosts outside, so it's better to provoke less.

The two of them were about to leave with Shu, the blood on the ground had completely dried up and turned into black powder, and a miserable white arm appeared on the powder, and from the arm it transformed into a shoulder, a head, and a body...... In a few breaths, a palace beauty appeared out of thin air, staring straight at everyone.

The blue sky and the white sun can appear, and Concubine Lan's Taoism is much more advanced than last time. However, she has been slow to take revenge, and it seems that she still wants to get her hands on my flesh, so she has been waiting for the right opportunity. The favorite concubine who can climb to a high position, which one is not ambitious, and Concubine Lan is naturally no exception. Youshu understands what the other party is planning, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can save the master, he is willing to pay any price.

What's more, it's not that he can't help Concubine Lan, it's just a little difficult.

"Long time no see." Youshu tore off the hem of her clothes and wrapped it around her palm, so that the blood would not fall to the ground, and she cheapened Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan held her charred arm, gritted her teeth and said, "Long time no see." ”

Ah Da and Ah Er had already recognized them, and their faces showed surprise. They will not forget until they die, it is this woman who has caused the master to be speechless and will never recover.

"At the beginning, we said that I would help you take revenge, and you would help the master rehabilitate, but you didn't seem to be trustworthy."

"Helping your master vindicate is tantamount to helping him ascend to the throne. Is it too expensive for a drop of your blood to exchange for the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty? "The third prince is in danger, and Concubine Lan naturally has bargaining chips.

"How are you doing?" Youshu's tone was indifferent.

Ah Da and Ah Er were more and more surprised, they never expected that Youshu would do so much for the master behind his back. His friendship with his master can really only be described in four words - he is desperate.

"Give half of the blood to this palace, and this palace not only rehabilitates the king of Jingzhou, but also helps him ascend to the dragon throne." Concubine Lan licked her lips and said inwardly, "This palace gives you three days to think about it, you have to hurry, I heard that the king of Jingzhou will be given death in three days." ”

"Don't think about it, this is for you." Youshu can't afford to wait for a quarter of an hour. He knew that what Concubine Lan wanted was actually her own life, but now that the dragon qi on her body was thick, she couldn't get close, so she had to take half of the blood, and when she fell into extreme weakness and the dragon qi was lost, she would do it again.

However, she never imagined that Youshu actually had spiritual powers. This ability is a bit of a frustration, but it gives him 100% control over his body. Dragon Qi, in the final analysis, is also a kind of energy, and after inhaling it many times, he has gradually touched the door, which can slow down its loss to the greatest extent. Between walking, when tired, after being injured, the depletion of dragon qi far exceeds the sleeping state, but Youshu can attach his spiritual power to the dragon qi and guide them into the dantian. Therefore, although the dragon qi will still dissipate, the speed will be much slower.

Concubine Lan thought that she could succeed by letting go of half of the young man's blood, but she couldn't help but think too beautifully!

Because of the dependence in his heart, Youshu did not hesitate, untied the cloth that had been wrapped before, and cut a deep wound on the palm of his hand.

Ah Da and Ah Er were too late to stop it, so they could only watch as blood splattered on the ground. Half of the blood is equivalent to taking the life of a young man, if they had known that the price was so huge, they would rather rob the prison!

Youshu's expression was still indifferent, and she said slowly, "I want you to swear that you will never tell the master about this." He did not covet the gratitude of youth, nor did he want him to look at himself with fear and guard.

Who dares to talk nonsense about ghosts and gods? Ah Da and Ah Er raised their hands and swore a poisonous oath without thinking about it.
