Chapter 877: A Great Misunderstanding
The ghost people have always had the habit of wearing necklaces, and their necklaces are strung with ropes, and there are wood carvings hanging on them, and the size of the necklace and the number of wood carvings on it are also different according to their status.
Young children are very thin ropes, and then the number of wood carvings on them is extremely rare, and before the age of ten, the same number of wood carvings are hung according to the number of ages.
The rope of adults will be much thicker, but the wood carvings on it are generally not too much.
Chu Huan saw the necklace in Yi Gusi's hand, and recognized at a glance that it was the necklace of the ghost lord He Xigu, this necklace Chu Huan once held in his hand, very familiar, his face changed slightly, and he didn't know how the necklace of He Xigu appeared in Yi Gusi's hand.
Chu Huan knew that things were not simple, and said solemnly: "This is the ghost master's necklace?" ”
"Yes, you still know each other." Yi Gusi sneered: "Lord Chu, I want to ask, where is our ghost master now?" Is he dead or alive? ”
Chu Huan Huo Ran changed color, and even felt that something big had happened, knowing that this matter was not trivial, he had to remain absolutely calm, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yidong, didn't the ghost master return to the Great Qimeng Mountain?" Raising his finger and pointing at the necklace in Yi Gusi's hand, "If the ghost master doesn't come back, where did the Yi Dong master get this necklace?" ”
He remembered very well that before Hexigu left, he personally handed the necklace into Hexigu's hands.
Yi Gusi's expression was indifferent, and there was even anger in his eyes, "Where did it come from, Lord Chu, I should ask you this, right?" The big knife in his hand was raised slightly, and the ghost men around him also immediately held the big knife, and two of them were holding bows and arrows, which were already pulling the bow and winding it, and the arrow was pointed directly at Chu Huan.
Xuanyuan Shengcai and the guards also reacted immediately, their expressions were solemn, and the two sides were already facing each other for a while, and it seemed that they were about to rush forward at any time.
Chu Huan said sharply: "No one is allowed to move, put away their weapons." His voice was stern and could not be disobeyed, and the guards looked at each other before finally putting away their weapons.
The guards put away their weapons, but the ghost people did not have this awareness, Yi Gusi sneered: "Lord Chu, your fake benevolence and hypocrisy are really good, and without you on the stage, it will be a lot of discoloration." ”
"Bold!" Xuanyuan Shengcai said sharply: "Lord Chu is an official of the imperial court, how can you be so blasphemous and presumptuous!" ”
"I'm just presumptuous, what can you do?" Yi Gusi did not give in, "The ghost master was victimized by you, we are discussing how to take the dog's head from your neck, but you sent it to the door yourself, this is the big python god has eyes!" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai and the other guards all gritted their teeth, Chu Huan's expression was solemn, and he asked: "Lord Yidong, there must be a misunderstanding between us, what happened, can you elaborate?" After a pause, he said: "The ghost master has already left Taiyuan more than half a month ago, and the official is even personally lined up to escort him!" ”
After Chu Huan finished speaking, he looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai, and Xuanyuan Shengcai said with a straight face: "There will be no mistake in this, at that time, the subordinates transferred thirty elite soldiers to escort them!" He said in a deep voice: "Li Yingcai! ”
One of the guards immediately said, "The subordinates are here!" ”
"You led the escort team at that time?"
"It's led by subordinates." Li Yingcai said: "The subordinates led the team to escort the ghost master back, only a few miles away from the Great Qimeng Mountain, the old ghost lord invited us to go up the mountain, we didn't dare to delay, and did not agree, the old ghost lord said that there was no need to send each other again, we watched the old ghost master go back to the mountain, and then returned the same way, everything went smoothly on the way!" ”
Xuanyuan Sheng looked at Chu Huan, Chu Huan frowned, looked at Yi Gusi, and said, "Master Yidong, we have nothing to say." ”
At this moment, they heard a commotion behind Yi Gusi, Chu Huan and the others looked up and saw another fire light from the mountain, the fire moved fast, and it was coming down the mountain, only a moment, there were two ghost men holding a torch over, the ghost side people dodged the gap, one person stepped forward, went to Yi Gusi's ear, whispered a few words, Yi Gusi's expression was calm, but the expression on his face became more terrifying, and he quickly turned to Chu Huan and sneered: "Lord Chu, this time you are only afraid that you have miscalculated, you should have brought your soldiers and horses over!" ”
"Terracotta?"
"You still want to quibble?" Yi Gusi said in a deep voice: "The village outside the Great Qimeng Mountain has soldiers and horses stationed, isn't it your people?" ”
Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng glanced at each other, and immediately understood, what Yi Gusi said was, of course, the guards soldiers who stayed in the village, this time for Chu Huan's safety, the two hundred guards were all dispatched, just to worry about the ghost misunderstanding, Chu Huan only took ten guards elite up the mountain, and the other soldiers and horses all stayed in the village.
He originally wanted to avoid misunderstanding, but he didn't expect that he would be misunderstood by the ghost people in the end.
Xuanyuan Shengcai was born in a famous family, although he is only a guard Yunwei, but because he was born in the Xuanyuan family, everyone sees him is saluted by three points, although Yi Gusi is the master of the ghost cave, but in the eyes of Xuanyuan Shengcai, it is really nothing, at this time, he is here to speak wildly, he has anger in his heart, if it is normal, he has already scolded him, but at this moment, he is afraid of Chu Huan's matter, so he can only hold back, but his expression is extremely unkind.
Chu Huan said solemnly: "Lord Yidong, let me ask you, did you say that the ghost master did not return to the Great Qimeng Mountain?" Where did you get this necklace? He stared at Yi Gusi's eyes, "Lord Yidong, you should understand, this matter is very important, you and I can't be rash, let's make everything clear first, what happened in the middle is very weird, we came this time, it was agreed with the old ghost master of Hexi Valley before, come to register the household registration, and allocate land to you, this is also Chu's previous promise to you!" ”
"Clever tongue." Yi Gu thought and said: "Since this is the case, why haven't you seen the old ghost master?" You said to escort the old ghost master back, but we didn't see the old ghost master? Picking up the necklace in his hand, "But this necklace, you didn't think it would be sent back, did you?" ”
Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask where did this necklace come from?" ”
"I'm not afraid to tell you that we already know what your government has done." Yi Gusi stretched his face, "You think you are doing it seamlessly, but of course you can't imagine that there are many scum in the government, and the old ghost master is arrested by you, but he said that he moved your people and asked him to bring the news, and we will reward ...... a lot of money!" He shook the necklace in his hand, "This is the token of the old ghost master!" ”
Chu Huan seemed to understand something, and asked, "What did he say?" ”
"What should be said and what should not be said has been said." Yi Gusi said coldly: "When you see the combat effectiveness of my Ghost Fang warriors, you are jealous, and you are afraid that one day we will pose a threat to you, so you want to get rid of our Ghost Fang clan. The old ghost master was arrested by you, and now his life and death are unknown, and you are even more ready to sneak attack my Great Qimeng Mountain. ”
Chu Huan instantly understood, and sighed: "Lord Yidong, do you really believe that person's words?" ”
"Why not?" Yi Gusi's eyes widened, "He has the necklace of the old ghost master in his hand, is this fake?" ”
"Is it true to have a necklace?"
Yi Gusi laughed angrily, "Chu Huan, you came to persuade me to send troops to the ghost side a while ago, and you also took this token, is the token real in your hands, but fake in his hands?" ”
Chu Huan sighed and smiled bitterly, although he was not completely sure, he had already vaguely understood the problem.
There is no doubt that the last time the Guards escorted Hexigu back to the mountain, they were naturally sent to the bottom of the mountain, and it was naturally impossible for the Guards to lie, but whether Hexigu returned to the camp safely is a big question mark.
If it is really as Yi Gusi said, Hexigu did not return to the village, then it can only mean that during the journey from the foot of the mountain to the cottage, something happened, someone grabbed Hexigu, and even took the ghost master necklace in his hand.
The ghost master necklace is a token, and the other party uses the ghost master necklace to spread rumors and stir up trouble between the government and the ghost party, which leads to the ghost party's resentment against the government.
Chu Huan really cared about the life and death of Hexi Valley at this time, of course, because he wanted to see the ghost elder through Hexi Valley, and more importantly, if something really happened to Hexi Valley, then there would definitely be a problem with the ghost side, a big conspiracy in Tianmen Dao had just been suppressed, but it did not mean that Tianmen Dao had completely disappeared, on the contrary, Tianmen Dao would inevitably continue to lurk after this difficulty, waiting for the opportunity, if the ghost side really made trouble, Tianmen Dao was very likely to take advantage of the situation.
The ghost people are good at fighting, and they have stored a lot of weapons and equipment, although the number is not large, it is very terrifying, and it is very likely to become a real fire of the prairie fire, so that Anyi, who has just calmed down, instantly fell into chaos.
Chu Huan knew that the stakes were very high, and if he didn't handle it well, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The first thing he suspected, of course, was the remnants of Tianmen, although General Mu died, but Tianmen Dao was not completely cleared, they were very likely to have been secretly paying attention to the movements of the government, maybe there were even more people who kept an eye on the ghost lord Hexi Valley, and made up his mind from the beginning, Hexi Valley returned to the mountain, and there were brave and elite guards escorting along the way, and the Tianmen Daoists did not dare to act rashly, but the Guards did not send Hexi Valley directly back to the village on the mountain, which gave the Tianmen Daoists a chance.
The disciples of Tianmen Daoist took the opportunity to make a move, sow discord, and then sit on the mountain to watch the tiger, which is really an extremely vicious strategy.
Chu Huan was groaning, but Yi Gusi's patience was not very good, and he said in a deep voice: "Chu Huan, since you are here, you can't leave, unless the government hands over the ghost master, otherwise...... You will stay in my Daqimeng Mountain, if the ghost master has something, you can just bury the ghost master! ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai came up angrily and sneered: "I'm afraid you won't be able to keep us!" ”
Chu Huan raised his hand and motioned to Xuanyuan Shengcai not to say much, and said, "Master Yidong, don't you suspect that someone in the middle wants to stir up a relationship between us?" If we are willful, don't you think we will fall into the hands of those who have ulterior intentions? ”
"Last time, you have deceived me into sending troops, we believe you once, but we will not be deceived the second time!" Yi Gusi cut the railway.
Chu Huan knew that this Yi Gusi's temperament was not only hot, but also very stubborn, so he groaned slightly, and finally said: "Lord Yi Dong, there is a bamboo building here, but your teahouse?" ”
"Not bad."
"So in the teahouse, is there always a tea maker?"
Yi Gusi sneered: "If it is a guest, we will entertain it with the best tea, if it is an enemy, we will only give them poison!" ”
"In this way, the people in the bamboo building gave me poisonous tea, was it the order of the Lord of Yidong?" Chu Huan frowned.
Yi Gusi was stunned for a moment, and also frowned: "The men of the ghost side don't do sneaky things, if they want to kill you, they will only use knives and guns to ......!" ”
Chu Huan's originally solemn face suddenly relaxed, and his eyebrows raised, "Master Yidong, then do you know that not long ago, someone here invited us into the teahouse to drink tea, and if we didn't take precautions, then we would definitely be poisoned here!" ”
Yi Gusi was stunned again, and looked at the teahouse.
