[Chapter 45]

But he didn't want to, Haochu actually broke away from Ruoxi's hand vigorously.

"What are you doing?" I don't know.

"In vain, I respect you for being a good official for the people and the country, I never thought that I would be like these people, comforting me in person, but informing Zuo Zhikui behind my back."

Ruoxi knew that Chu Haochu had misunderstood, and Zimang kept solving a person, and said, "It's not me, I didn't do anything." ”

Chu Haochu was already red-eyed, and he couldn't stop explaining at all, "Only you know here, not who else will you have." Uh~"Before Haochu's words fell, he was stabbed in the left abdomen by a person.

There are too many people on the other side, and it is not a way to fight like this at all. Ruoxi couldn't care about Chu Haochu's struggle, threw out a smoke bomb, and took advantage of the chaos to grab Chu Haochu and leave with light skills.

The way up should have been blocked by them. Fortunately, when Ruoxi came over with Chu Haochu just now, he had observed the environment here and probably knew the direction. Ruoxi supported Chu Haochu, who had already entered a semi-comatose state, and walked downstream along the river.

"Alliance leader, they ran away!" As soon as the smoke cleared, these martial arts righteous paths found that the two of them were gone. There is not a trace around.

"What should I do?" They all looked at Zuo Zhikui, waiting for him to give an order.

"Some stayed behind to search for the remnants of the Demon Cult, and the other part scattered to search." According to Zuo Zhikui's plan, if he kills Chu Haochu today, then the matter of gold will be unproven. Unexpectedly, Chu Haochu actually had a fellow party with unfathomable martial arts.

Chu Haochu must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later he will be exposed.

"Why isn't there a single person in this Demon Sect?"

"That's right, it was Chu Haochu alone just now."

"Look at these, they seem to be used by children and women."

Several juniors asked suspiciously while searching. Didn't it say that the Demon Sect burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil? However, why do they feel that this place is more like an ordinary village, with several acres of fertile land next to it?

Zuo Zhikui walked into the house where Chu Haochu lived very naturally. Absent-mindedly take a look.

"Alliance leader, the whereabouts of the gold have not been discovered." One humanity.

"Chu Haochu has been prepared for a long time, it is likely that it has been dealt with, and I will look for it again." A bag fell from Zuo Zhikui's body, and he just kicked it to the bottom of the bed.

After a while, except for those who went to track Chu Haochu, the rest of the heads of the various factions gathered here to Zuo Zhikui.

"Found it, but this is here, it seems that the rest of the gold has been disposed of by him." The head of the Cangshan Sect said as he handed over the money bag that the disciple had just found. "When the disaster funds were raised that day, all the gold ingots were marked with special marks just in case, and I compared them, and there was no doubt about this batch of disaster funds."

The bag was sent to Zuo Zhikui, and he picked it up and looked at it again and again. "Chu Haochu must be caught as soon as possible and asked about the whereabouts of the disaster money."

In fact, no one knows better than Zuo Zhikui where this bag came from, isn't this the money bag he just dropped?

Unable to find any useful clues, the heads of the various factions retreated first, leaving only their disciples to continue the search.

"Bo Yu," Bo Yu is Zuo Zhikui's eldest disciple, and he has won his trust, "As long as you see Chu Haochu, you will be killed." ”

"Yes."

Chu Haochu's injuries were very serious, the wounds in his abdomen were still oozing blood, if he didn't deal with it, he didn't have to wait to enter the city, he would lose too much blood and die.

Ruoxi found a hidden cave, helped people in, and waited for someone to wake up, those people behind should not be able to catch up for a while.

Ruoxi wanted to help Chu Haochu take a look at the wound, but as soon as he opened a corner, his right hand was vigorously grabbed by a slender hand with clear joints.

Ruoxi thought that the person was awake, Leng Buding was frightened, and after a few changes, he found that Chu Haochu was just instinctively defensive, resisting someone touching his body.

"Don't move, I'll help you with your wounds." Unexpectedly, as Ruoxi's words landed, Chu Haochu really let go of his hand.

This sword is really insidious enough, going in vertically and coming out horizontally, the wound is very large, and the blood cannot be stopped at all by the coagulation function of the body itself. Fortunately, Ruoxi's habit of carrying wound medicine with him in the dark group will come in handy right now. Sealed Chu Haochu's several big points, slowed down the speed of blood flow, and sprinkled the medicine powder to stop bleeding on the wound, and then tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied the wound, his movements were very skillful.

"Thank you." I don't know when, Chu Haochu has already woken up, but the strength of the big battle and the excessive blood loss, Chu Haochu's voice is hoarse.

"Awake?"

"Hmm." It hurts to wake up. "Sorry, just ....."

Ruoxi knew that he was apologizing for the misunderstanding just now. Chu Haochu's eyes were red just now, and he lost his mind under impulse, so the moment he saw Ruoxi, he attributed everything to Ruoxi. Calm down and think about it, Ruoxi doesn't seem to have a position to do this. Moreover, if Ruoxi really has the intention to harm himself, why bother so much? What's more, he broke in single-handedly to save himself.

"Are the people settled?" If you are worried, these people will be innocently implicated.

"Well, don't worry." Chu Haochu was a thoughtful person, although he felt that moving people to the bottom of the cliff would be safe, but just in case, he was still looking for a hidden natural cave in case of emergency. Besides, what these martial arts righteous paths think about every day is how to get rid of themselves, the big devil, and they don't care about others at all.

"Why do these people want you to die?" Not only Ruoxi felt strange, but even Chu Haochu felt strange. For so many years, Mo Yeshan has been reluctant to deal with other factions in the martial arts, so he is considered a big outlier by the Central Plains martial arts. Although in recent years, there have been repeated remarks unfavorable to Mo Yeshan, saying that people are killed and set on fire, and women are abducted, but these are just because people can't solve some cases and need a scapegoat, plus Mo Yeshan has taken in more and more people, and it is necessary to maintain the lives of these people. In addition, people's words are terrifying, as the so-called three people become tigers, the rumors spread a lot, and the more bizarre they become.

Chu Haochu was too lazy to pay attention to these rumors, and only wanted to do his own thing, so he allowed these rumors to spread. But these words have not been circulating for a day or two, why did they suddenly want to exterminate the Demon Sect with great fanfare this time?

Zuo Zhikui's words suddenly rang in his ears just now. "I know why!" Haochu vaguely remembered that Zuo Zhikui seemed to say "stealing disaster relief money" or something, but Chu Haochu was angry at the beginning, and he was also red-eyed, so he didn't pay attention at all. Looking back now, I realized that something was wrong.

"Do you mean the relief money for the victims of the disaster in Tongzhou?" Tongzhou is located in the northwest arid region, nine times in ten years. This year's drought is even more serious, the people have no harvest, although the imperial court opened a warehouse to release grain, allocated money, but the effect is very small. An important reason for Nangong Chen's trip this time is that he wants to go to Tongzhou for a field trip to see if he can solve the problem of drought in Tongzhou. But I don't want to stay in Yongzhou before I arrive in Tongzhou.

"That's right, Zuo Zhikui and other major martial arts families came forward and raised 100,000 taels of gold, ready to be used for disaster relief." Although Chu Haochu is in the mountains, after all, he is in the rivers and lakes, and the news is still better than Ruoxi. "It's just that this batch of gold has been stored in Zuofu, how could it be suddenly stolen and stolen by me?" Chu Haochu really couldn't figure it out.

"What are you doing!" Ling Ruoxi hurriedly supported the shaky Chu Haochu, "Your wound has just stopped bleeding." ”

"I'm going to find out!" He is not for himself, anyway, he has borne countless infamy over the years, but he wants to find out the truth for these victims, and the money that saved his life was stolen.

"I'll go with you." Ruoxi is also a person who will not be stingy with himself, and he didn't think about stopping Chu Haochu at all. When it comes to the people, there is no trivial matter, she eats the king's fortune and relies on the people to provide for her, so she naturally has to always put the interests of the people first.

"No, you can't go." Chu Haochu frowned, he didn't want Ling Ruoxi to get involved in this matter. Her identity is too sensitive, and if someone finds out, she will be used by someone with a heart.

It can be seen from this disaster relief that martial arts is of great significance to the stability of the imperial court and the country. If Xi helps him at this moment, he is the enemy of the entire martial arts righteous path. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with Wulin. "I'm already very grateful that you came to save me, if General Ling has the heart to help me, please trouble General Ling to settle the people of Moye Mountain. As for finding out the truth, I can do it alone. ”

Ruoxi knew that he had scruples, and said, "Don't worry, since I came to save you, it is naturally the acquiescence of the saint." Let's go. ”

Chu Hao couldn't resist Ling Ruoxi at first, and after he was seriously injured, he couldn't help himself, so the two entered the city together.

"Shadow Master"

The two of them were blocked by the secret guards of the secret group outside the city, "The lord has ordered you to stay in Yongzhou City to solve this matter, and he will go to Tongzhou first." ”

"I see. By the way, in a cave at the bottom of the cliff of Moye Mountain, there are a hundred and ten people, settle them. ”

"Are there any tokens they all know?" This was said to Chu Haochu, she was afraid that the secret guard would clash with the people again and hurt the innocent.

"This." Chu Haochu handed Ling Ruoxi a jade pendant. "This is what Master left me, and I have always hung it on my body, and they have all seen it."

"Protect it in situ after it's done. Also, this one is also for you. Ruoxi untied the purple mang on his waist and handed it to the dark guard, replacing it with his ordinary sword. Go ahead. ”

Chu Haochu was puzzled, they were going to spy on Zuofu, maybe there would be a fierce battle, how could they hand over the sword at this time. "You are hidden in the mountains, and you can still recognize me by Zimang, let alone these martial arts people." So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better not to let Zimang show up well.

Chu Haochu didn't say that he could recognize Zimang at a glance because he had seen Ling Ruoxi from afar. I forgot what year it was, although his master went down the mountain to buy things, he happened to meet the Red Flame Army squad returning to the dynasty and passing through Yongzhou. At that time, the coach was still Ling Yunsi, and Ling Ruoxi followed behind Ling Yunsi, wearing light armor and a sword at his waist, so he was not chic.
