Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man Who Was Accidentally Rescued

With a goal, there is motivation to get things done.

For example, after she set her goal, she has been working towards it. First of all, she had to rush to the capital first. But man is not as good as heaven.

She had only been walking for a day from Sioux City when she met a man.

To be precise, she saved a man. The man was stabbed with a sword, and he was thrown into the woods to die. Li Yan happened to pass by and saved him.

Now, Liyan regrets saving him very much.

"I've already taken your money, please, don't follow me anymore." Li Yan looked at the man and said seriously.

It's very good-looking, but I didn't expect to be a fool, and I didn't say a word to her, I just knew to follow her. She rode a horse, and he chased after him with light skills, and then his wound was ruptured.

"I went to the capital and had very important things to do."

"I'm going to the capital too." The sound is rich and pleasant.

I was stunned for a moment, but I could speak.

"It's good to go to the capital, go to the capital. Then, let's say goodbye, see each other in the capital one day, and get together again. What does Brother Tai think? ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Liyan, "Not good. Since you are on the way, then, I will hire you to send me to the capital. ”

"You've already given me all your money." Liyan reminded him.

"I have money in my family."

Liyan let out a long sigh and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Huangfu Mo."

Because the second senior sister married into the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she also knows something about the royal people in the capital, and it is indeed the surname Huangfu. However, shouldn't the prince go out with a large group of guards?

Looking at the suspicion in Liyan's eyes, Huang Fumo felt that his wound was starting to hurt again, if he wasn't worried that someone would catch up, she had some ability, why did he need to beg her.

"Since you are a royal child, why don't you ask the government for help?"

Huangfu Mo snorted coldly, "You don't believe me, do you think they will believe me?" ”

"I'm not going to point to you getting rich, I'm sure I'll be suspicious. However, those who are officials dream of seeing the people in the capital. You have a phoenix dragon grandson in front of them, let alone send you back to Beijing, and it is no problem for them to offer you up. ”

Huangfu Mo coughed and said, "I can't let them know my whereabouts." ”

Leaving the words, these phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren really have brain problems as her second senior sister said, and they can even do it with their own brothers.

"Oh, then you can go back by yourself. I don't want to know your whereabouts either. ”

Huangfu Mo stared at Liyan, "You send me back to the Pingwang Mansion, and I will thank you heavily." ”

Li Yan has never seen such a person, obviously he doesn't want to die, but he has to threaten her with his life. If she had been ruthless, it would have been possible for him to expose his corpse to the wilderness.

"Okay, how much do you give me?"

"Fifty taels...... Gold. Huangfu Mo thought to herself, she would definitely be tempted this time.

Liyan nodded, and then, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote it down in black and white.

"That way, you don't have to worry about me throwing you halfway, and I don't have to worry about you not confessing when you get home, what do you think?"

Huang Fumo looked at Liyan's serious expression, his expression changed unpredictably, and he signed the three big characters of Huangfu Mo on the paper with his uninjured left hand.

Taking a person on the road is still an injured person, which makes it miserable to leave the words. She really regretted separating from her sister and brothers. If they hadn't separated, she wouldn't have met this person.

"I'm injured and need to rest."

Li Yan looked up at the sky, the sun was still far from the ground, and there were pedestrians on the road, so he didn't want to go.

Liyan silently recited fifty taels of gold on one side, and then suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Just this time, your wound has scabbed, and I won't stop again. Unless, you go on your own, understand? ”

“…… Good. Huangfu Mo said coldly.

Li Yan frowned, he was still unhappy, what qualification did he have to be unhappy.

There is only a small village nearby, and you can't find an inn. So, they had to find someone to spend the night.

It's just that the people in the village don't seem to be very kind to outsiders. Before they could enter the village, the people of the village began to close the doors and windows.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Liyan moved her nose, and she kicked open the soil layer underground, and there was indeed cinnabar buried in it.

Li Yan turned his head to look at Huang Fumo and sighed, "We're in trouble." ”

Huang Fumo looked down at his feet, the ground was indeed a little red, but what kind of trouble was that?

Liyan buried the soil again, she led the horse, took Huangfu Mo, and went to the only house with an open door at the entrance of the village.

There was a one-eyed old man living inside, and when he saw them coming in, he didn't drive them away, and beckoned them over for tea.

There was not a single teacup on the table, and there was thick tea dirt on the walls of the cups. These, for Huangfu Mo, who is accustomed to ceramics, is unacceptable. However, she did not show any dissatisfaction, but just looked at the one-eyed old man quietly.

"Old gentleman, who is the cinnabar for?"

The old man stared at Liyan with the only remaining eye.

Huangfu Mo also looked at Liyan in surprise, what did she mean by this.

"It's almost August 15, and Cinnabar may not be able to stop him. Tell me that I might be able to help a little. ”

The old man trembled and picked up the teacup with both hands.

"Last month, the old Liu family in the east of the village bought a girl. At the end of the month, died. His blind old lady told her to bury people outside, and to bury cinnabar in the ground, and she couldn't come in. However, she would cry outside every night. That voice is infiltrating. ”

Huangfu Mo desperately gave Liyan a look and motioned for her to leave here.

But he said, "Okay, since we've met, let's take care of it." ”

As a last resort, Huang Fumo had no choice but to call her outside the house.

"Why did you promise him?"

Liyan looked at Huang Fumo indifferently, "You must come here, and because of this, we will encounter this matter." Since you have encountered it, you must take care of it, and this is what a cultivator must do. ”

"How sure you are, if not. Just wait for me to call someone, my father's relationship with the national teacher Chaoyue is okay......"

Li Yan grabbed him, Huang Fumo looked behind him vigilantly, and he was relieved that he didn't see anyone.

"Do you know Asatsuki?" Liyan asked word by word.

"Don't you even know the name of the national teacher?"

Li Yan was speechless in surprise, she now knew who she was going to kill, but there was a new trouble. That person is a national teacher, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it's not easy.

"I know now." After speaking, Liyan sat down against the wall with Qiyun in his arms.

There must be a reason why she wants to kill Chaoyue, and her heart is starting to hurt again, which means that the national teacher Chaoyue is the person she wants to kill. Perhaps, he is the reason why the senior brother can't enter Beijing. So, kill Asahagi no matter what.

Li Yan squinted at Huang Fumo, and now it seems that it is still useful to save him. He should be able to take her into the National Teacher's Mansion.

"What's wrong with you?" Huangfu Mo frowned and asked.

"It's fine. It's going to get dark, you go in and wait, I'll figure out how to deal with her. "I said nothing.

Huangfu Mo thought for a while and said, "I'm here to accompany you." ”

Li Yan didn't ask if he stayed here because he was afraid, she just clenched the talisman paper in her hand. No matter what, she has to live, even if she dies, she has to die behind the morning moon

Li Yan handed Huangfu Mo a piece of rune paper, "Just in case." ”

After dark, the air was a little colder. Liyan found a trace of black gas in the air.

Although Huang Fumo didn't see anything in the air, he also felt the cold that penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

When the complaining ghost cry reached his ears, Huangfu Mo suddenly felt that his brain was about to explode, and the sound was too harsh. He turned his head to look at Liyan, and saw that she didn't react, so he believed her words, she was really capable.

Li Yan looked at the female ghost in white in front of her, and the one-eyed old man said that she died at the end of last month. But looking at her appearance, she is even more powerful than last year's death.

Liyan tried to talk to her, but it was completely useless.

In Huang Fumo's view, Liyan is talking to himself in a strange language that he doesn't understand.

However, when the ghost touched the cinnabar on the ground, Huangfu Mo really saw a white light.

Seeing this, Liyan drew his sword and stepped out of the cinnabar circle.

The female ghost had a goal, gave up entering the village in an instant, and went after Liyan.

Seeing that Liyan was getting farther and farther away, Huangfu Mo also wanted to chase him out, but thinking of Liyan's advice, he still didn't chase him out after all. He told himself that he didn't want to mess with her either.

Liyan didn't want to hurt the female ghost, so he kept defending, but the female ghost's resentment was too heavy, and Liyan couldn't resist it. As a last resort, she had no choice but to slash her with her sword.

Li Yan watched a black stone fall out of the place where she was slashed with her sword, and the resentment on the female ghost disappeared a lot in an instant. The rune paper that Liyan hit on her also worked.

The black stone that fell from the female ghost has disappeared, but fortunately, the female ghost is still in place.

"You...... Okay? Liyan cautiously approached the female ghost.

The wound on the female ghost's neck was revealed, and the wound was so deep that it looked like she had cut it herself.

The female ghost didn't look at her either, just sat on the ground in a daze.

Liyan was silent for a while, "I'll send you to reincarnation now." ”

Huangfu Mo watched the woman disappear in front of Liyan. Seeing that Liyan didn't come back, he raised his leg and walked towards her.

"What's wrong with her?"

"I sent her away, and she won't show up again."

"Why did she become like that?"

"Someone is taking advantage of her."

Huangfu Mo frowned, and he didn't want to talk to him more, so he said: "It's a very troublesome matter, and I can't explain it clearly for a while." I'll explain it to you later. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Speaking from the heart, I just said casually, you must not report too much hope.

When they returned to the one-eyed man's house, he was still sitting in the courtyard. He thanked Liyan and told them they could stay here for the night.

"Thank you, sir."

Huang Fumo was very dissatisfied with his place of residence, his face drooped when he saw Liyan, his eyes were full of exhaustion, and he didn't ask for anything more. He was touched by his empathy. But I just can't move the people in front of me.

Early the next morning, he was stabbed awake by Liyan with a sword.

The emperor looked at Liyan with a dark face.

"It's time to eat, and when we're done, it's time for us to go."

The table was still the same table, an old man, a notched cup with tea dirt.

Huangfu Mo still didn't have the courage to eat those.

After saying goodbye to the one-eyed old man, he stretched out his hand to her, "You still have cloud cake in your baggage, I see it." ”

"Gotta add money." Off the beaten track.

"Plus."

After he agreed, Liyan handed him the cloud cake.

*

When he received Cheng An's news, He Qing accidentally broke his favorite teacup.

"Senior brother, we will definitely find Ah Yan, don't worry."

He Qing blamed himself: "I shouldn't hide it from her, I should tell her everything." That way, she won't be on her own. She is alone outside, no one accompanies her, cold, hungry, tired, painful, who should I tell her? ”

He Qinghuo stood up, "No, I have to go down the mountain to find her." ”

"Senior brother, the third brother is still outside, so don't go down."

He Qing shook his head, "The third child doesn't know what happened, even if they find Ah Yan, they can't persuade her to come back." I'll go out and check on the two people who are making trouble in the Cold Water Pavilion. Now, it's not peaceful outside, and we can't stay in the mountains forever. ”

Cheng Lingyuan knew that what he said made sense, and if he tried to persuade him, he couldn't open his mouth.

"You take the boss."

He Qing nodded, "Okay, just take him, Xiaoyuan and Wei Yang will stay on the mountain." ”

Without further ado, after lunch, He Qing took Guo Hua down the mountain.

After walking so many people, the mountain suddenly became much more deserted.

"Fourth Uncle, when will everyone come back?" Si Yuan stood in front of the mountain gate and asked in a low voice.

Wei Yang said: "Soon, everyone will definitely come back soon." ”
