"Knock knock...... The wooden planks were nailed to the window, and when the last plank was nailed to the window, the last ray of light was also nailed to the window, and the inside of the monastic house suddenly became dark.

The guest house in this courtyard of the Great Compassion Temple has been transformed into an alternative prison, with a courtyard full of soldiers and archers patrolling the walls and rooftops. Ye Xiaotian and the five guards, as well as Hua Yunfei, Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi, were locked in the house.

Hua Yunfei said with a solemn face: "Big brother, what now?" Are we really waiting for the results of the emperor's punishment? ”

Mao Wenzhi said nervously: "These toasts don't take people seriously, the emperor won't talk to them, right?" ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Everything is possible, how can I guess accurately now!" ”

Su Xuntian said: "My lord, aren't you the sect leader of some Gu sect in the mountains?" Then you can be regarded as a local overlord, and you should be able to talk to these toast masters, or ...... Just make your identity public? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, let's wait for news from the capital first." By doing this, I have greatly increased the morale of the official family, and maybe the emperor will open up the net. As long as the emperor decides to pardon me, I believe they will have to worry about it. So, don't reveal my identity until the last minute. ”

Su Xuntian hurriedly said: "My lord, I think they already hate us to the core, although there are still Yu Jianzhou and Dai Tongzhi's men and horses outside to take care of us, but who knows if they will wait for the opportunity to take the black hand." As long as they have the heart, we can't prevent it, and the identity of the adult's sect leader is a talisman, so it's better to use it early. ”

Ye Xiaotian explained: "Xuntian, it's not that I want to pretend to be mysterious. It's just that the heart of heaven is unpredictable, and no one knows what the emperor will think. Although these toasts are powerful and blessed in the land, they are the ministers of the Son of Heaven after all, and the seedlings in the mountains are not. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Although Shengmiao lives in the mountains. Its land also belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it has not been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a foreign people, compared with those Tusi, and the relationship with the imperial court is obviously a layer farther, if the emperor knows that hundreds of thousands of seedlings in the mountains are my people, can be controlled by me, God knows what he will think, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to predict. ”

"That's ...... so"

Su Xuntian said with a sad face: "What should I do?" ”

Ye Xiaotian comforted: "The toasts enjoy privileges. You don't even have to pay for killing people, do you think that the emperor likes to have such lawless local officials under his rule? It's just that Guizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to fight hard, the damage is too great, but it is too poor compared to other places, and it is really not worth paying a huge sacrifice, so the emperors of the dynasties and dynasties are mainly appeased in this kind of place, which is the privilege.

In fact, for these toasters to get away with it, even more freely than the emperor, the emperor must be uncomfortable. Now I'm doing something like this. Once the emperor knows, even if he is angry on his face, he will definitely be very happy in his heart, as long as he can order me to be transferred back to Beijing for trial......"

Su Xuntian was suddenly overjoyed. Said: "Then we will be saved?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Not bad! Those five families are not too great people in Tongren, and the most rampant among them, Zhang Yuhan, is just a member of the Zhang family. If even the holy decree is disobeyed, the emperor will inevitably send troops to fight for the sake of the face of the heavenly family and the prestige of the imperial court. Will the Zhang family fight against the Son of Heaven for the sake of an unscrupulous disciple? It's just that...... If the Son of Heaven decrees to behead the people for the sake of the 'hearts of the people' of Tongren and the local officials......"

Ye Xiaotian sighed softly and said, "At that time, we can only tell Governor Zhang and Yu Jianzhou my true identity, only one of them will go out of the mountain, and it will make Governor Zhang's Mansion anxious, aren't they afraid that hundreds of thousands of seedlings will go out of the mountain together?" ”

When Su Xuntian heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Then why let all the seedlings go out of the mountain?" In that case, they should let us go right away, right? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "If all the seedlings come out of the mountain, aren't you afraid of making a fuss?" Aren't you afraid that the four heavenly kings of An, Song, Tian, and Yang will join forces to interfere? Aren't you afraid that the court will be on guard and mobilize a large army into Guizhou? Hundreds of thousands of people went out of the mountains, not robbing or killing, what do you let them eat? What to drink? They devoutly serve me as Lord, and the result is that I turn them into a rebel army, surrounded by the whole world? ”

Su Xuntian was speechless, and Ye Xiaotian said: "It's good if it can play a role in intimidation, as long as they don't want to lose both, it will be easy to get a death row prisoner to cover people's eyes and ears at that time, and we can get out of danger." It's just that in that case, my career will be over, and I will have to go back to the mountain to be my king of freedom......"

Ye Xiaotian said, and his heart became entangled, if that was the case, he would not be able to fulfill his promise to the Xia family. Poor Yingying is still happily waiting for him to marry. However, he did not regret it, he could not forget those dead eyes, those eyes were caressed with his hands, and he wanted to let the girl really go in peace.

"By the way, where is Mr. Li?"

When Ye Xiaotian and his men were disarmed and escorted to the Great Compassion Temple, he found that Li Qiuchi was gone, and he naturally didn't make a noise at that time, so he couldn't help but ask Hua Yunfei and the others, Hua Yunfei was stunned, and said: "I didn't see him either, Mr. Li won't have anything, right?" ”

Su Xuntian said stupidly: "What can he do?" What could be more sad than being locked up in a place where the heavens are not supposed to be, the earth is not working, and our lives are in danger at any time? It seems that we didn't find him when we were escorted out, didn't we hide it secretly? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Li Qiuchi rode a donkey and hurried to Nancheng, as long as he went out of Nancheng, he could set foot on the official road to Guiyang. Zhang Yuhan and the others only paid attention to Ye Xiaotian at that time, and these local officials and magnates who were above the top did not take this Mr. Li Da, who claimed to be the first in Guiyang, in their eyes at all, so when there was one less person in the crowd who walked out of the main hall of the torture hall, no one noticed him.

Immediately, Zhang Yuhan and others personally escorted Ye Xiaotian and others to the Great Compassion Temple, and Li Qiuchi, who was covered in blood and lying on the hall of the torture hall and pretending to be dead, got up. At that time, Hua Shi and Jiang Shi were cleaning the execution hall with all the soaps down.

They were very frustrated, Ye Tuiguan was arrested, and the torture hall was about to return to the previous state of no one caring, and they could not afford to raise a trace of interest. Suddenly, a bloody man got up from the ground, startled them with flowers, and after a fixed look, they recognized Li Qiuchi who was pretending to be dead.

After the flower experience, they naturally would not report Master Li. hurriedly fetched a basin of clean water, asked him to wash his face, changed his clothes, and secretly sent him out of the mansion. Li Qiuchi still had some scattered silver on his body, so he immediately went to the market to buy a donkey for walking, and fled in a panic.

"Stupid! Very foolish! How could I, Li Dazhuo, believe that he is a promising official and follows such a strong donkey! ”

Li Qiuchi scolded and hated the donkey under his crotch: "You are a baseless official, dare to go against the local officials, isn't this tired." You're tired of living, why do you have to drag us to death! It's really stupid! ”

Seeing the gate of the city in front of him, the people were coming in and out, and the crowd was getting denser, so Li Qiuchi jumped off the donkey and walked forward with the reins. Queuing out of the city gate, Li Qiuchi led the donkey out of a dozen zhang away, and suddenly stopped.

Li Qiuchi looked back at the city gate and cursed fiercely twice. He led the donkey further, and after only a few steps, he stood again, turned his head and looked in the direction of the city gate. There was a look of struggle on his face. After a long time, he stomped his foot heavily, scolded "bastard", and walked back stupidly.

Yefuli. The guard sent back by Li Qiuchi earlier had already told Doni the news, and Doni hurriedly gathered the horses in the mansion and tidied them up. Be prepared to leave at any time. Unexpectedly, she didn't wait for Ye Xiaotian to come back, but the person sent to hear the news brought back the news that Ye Xiaotian was escorted to the Great Compassion Temple.

Duo Ni was so worried when she heard this, there were still ten guards in the house, and it would be difficult to rescue Ye Xiaotian if he wanted to rob the prison in broad daylight, besides, Ye Xiaotian had just been escorted to the Great Compassion Temple, and the defense was the most severe.

Doniden panicked, and the Yago said murderously: "How bold are they to dare to imprison the Venerable!" I will immediately send the news back to the temple, send 100,000 troops, and ask Zhang Duo for someone, if he dares not to give it, I will kill him and bleed like a river! ”

Doni pointed her finger and said, "Elder Ye, I'm only worried that the army has not arrived, and Brother Xiao Tian has already had an accident. ”

Yayan said: "Don't worry, since they have locked up His Holiness, it means that they will not hurt his life for the time being." ”

Doni said: "Brother Xiao Tian has been arrested, they are people who hate Brother Xiao Tian very much, who knows if they will secretly poison him, how can I not worry." If we use Gu, with the ten guards in our hands, can we rescue Brother Xiaotian? ”

The young man frowned and shook his head lightly, and said, "Although there is a chance, it is a matter of His Holiness's safety, and the old man does not dare to take risks!" ”

Gu poison is to rely on Gu worms to perform, and Gu worms are not as simple as raising poisonous snakes and poisonous bees, it requires Gu practitioners to feed them with their own blood, so it is impossible to breed them in large quantities, who has so much blood to feed Gu worms all day long.

In fact, the Gu Sect also has a secret method that does not need to use the blood of the Gu cultivators, but uses special Gu food to feed, just use their own blood to make them recognize the Lord when the Gu worms are cultivated, but this kind of Gu food needs to be prepared with extremely precious medicines, and only the Venerable has that economic strength.

Even so, like the previous Venerable Raising a Thousand Year Gu, he usually only ensured that the mother Gu would be passed on to the next generation, until he realized that the limit was approaching, and just in case, he began to spend a lot of money cultivating a large number of Gu worms.

Moreover, the Gu worms themselves also have a lifespan, and it is impossible to save all the Gu worms that have been practiced since the beginning of learning Gu Techniques, and there are only more than ten Gu worms in the hands of the Yaya, and the effects are different, some are used to harm people, and some are used to cure diseases. The effects and timing of Gu worms that can harm people are also different, so it is difficult to control all the guards at the same time, and of course he does not dare to act rashly.

Doni said anxiously: "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

Yayan said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Great Compassion Temple first, in case there is a change." In addition, send someone back to the mountain quickly and inform the temple! ”

As he was talking, Ruo Xiaosheng ran in breathlessly and said, "Mr. Li is back, Mr. Li is back." ”

Li Qiuchi muttered in, but his voice was too small, and no one could hear what he was muttering angrily: "What are you doing here?" He's going crazy, and you're going to be crazy with him? Haven't you been hurt hard enough by him, how can you have a future with this kind of donkey! You are a teacher, and you actually follow your conscience and morality, are you sick! ”
