Chapter Forty-Eight - The Temple in the South of the City

Si Yanran's eyes flashed with tears, and her warm hand slowly raised, stroking Shi Yu's cheek on tiptoe slightly.

"After all, my mother is sorry for you, and you will have to bear the consequences of this accident."

"Mothers and relatives have to blame themselves, this is the fate and responsibility of being a child."

Shi Yu's strong hand held Si Yanran's hand, and then continued in a deep voice.

"Then the boy will go to the south of the city first, if anyone asks..."

"Let's go, if someone asks, my mother will naturally deal with it."

Shi Yu deeply engraved Si Yanran's current expression in his heart, and then turned around and left.

All this requires his presence, how can he have any intention of retreating?

Jincheng has been helping him look out at the wind, and as soon as he saw him come out, he hurried to follow.

"Childe, I've already helped you see it just now, and the Jinyiwei who followed you in the East Factory is not following now."

"yes, okay."

Shi Yu responded, and as Jincheng went out from the back door of the house, Zhu Kai had already explained the detailed location and distance to Jincheng, so he could lead the way directly.

The two of them rode on horseback, walked along the city to the south, crossed a wasteland, and about a quarter of an hour saw that there was indeed a ruined temple still in the southern suburbs of the city.

The incense in the temple was obviously exhausted, and it was hazy in the moonlight.

Shi Yu got off his horse and approached the gate of the broken temple, where the window paper was leaking everywhere and cobwebs were all over the place.

Pushing open the door, the wooden door creaked, the dust suddenly fluffed, and Jincheng was choked and sneezed directly.

Shi Yu raised his hand and waved the gray qi, and saw that in front of him was a dilapidated statue of a god whose true body was no longer visible.

Under the idol there was a chest undusted, and where the lock was was placed, it was a magpie and a metu.

Yes!

This is where the obscrama of Chengmei machine is!

The box seemed to be extremely heavy, and Shi Yu was about to raise his hand to open it, but Jincheng hurriedly grabbed his arm and interrupted his movements.

"Childe, no!"

"Why?"

"Chengmei machine's dark box, after putting something inside, it can't be opened, now the lid on this box is closed, presumably someone has put something in, once we open it, this box will spray poison, so that people can't avoid it."

Jincheng said everything, for fear that an explanation would not be in place, so Shi Yu got started.

"Well, I thought they had someone here."

"No one in the world has seen the true faces of the people in the Chengmei machine, they rarely show up, even if someone occasionally sees someone to put the box, the person who puts the box is also in a black robe, the head is covered, no one can know it, and the people in the Chengmei machine, martial arts are all more than ten realms."

"Ten Realms?!"

Shi Yu's eyes trembled slightly, you must know that the highest martial arts technique is also the Twelve Realms, even Shi Rong grew up practicing martial arts since he was a child, but he is only the upper level of the Nine Realms, and he is only the second order of the Eight Realms, and the people of the Ten Realms are very few masters in the rivers and lakes and the Great Interior.

"That's right, that's what happened to this Chengmei machine."

Jincheng said, taking out a fire letter from his sleeve and lighting the broken candle, the faint candlelight flickering beside the box.

Taking advantage of the candlelight, Shi Yu saw a dark switch on the side of the box, and now only one hole remains.

Shi Yu took out the thumb-sized magpie Deng Meiling that Sheng Erya handed over to him from his sleeve.

In the dark, for some reason, it seems that something is guiding him.

He inserted the token directly into a hole in the side of the box.

With a click.

Jincheng trembled in fright, and hurriedly covered his eyes, for fear that the poisonous gas would erode his eyes first.

Shi Yu watched the lid on the side of the box pop up.

He was not afraid at all, and lifted the lid casually.

The inside of this box is all dark grids, and the switch on the bright side is indeed used to put letters or money for people.

But the switch on this side was just a small dark grid, and he picked up the residual candle next to him.

Illuminate the darkness.

I saw that there was a yellow and cyan bamboo tube inside, as if it had been left for many years.

Jincheng listened to the box except for the initial sound, and there was no other movement next to it, so he slowly let go of his fingers.

I saw Shi Yu's two fingers take out the bamboo tube from the box, and then directly took out the rolled paper inside.

"This is..."

Shi Yu ignored Jincheng's explanation, put the candlestick aside, and then opened the letter with both hands.

The yellowed paper was covered with powerful handwriting.

Yingque, my father knows that you are angry with me, I am annoyed, I hate me, you insist on marrying him, I know that I can't stop you.

I only hated myself for being angry, so I told you to break off the relationship between father and daughter, and what I said was not my intention.

I don't know how you're doing now, but if you can enjoy your wishes, you'll be glad to be a father.

I heard that you are about to get married, and my father is ready to hand over this Chengmei machine that you and your mother have created to you.

It's good to have some things around you outside.

It's just that I'm a cripple now, and I don't know I have long to live, so I won't congratulate you.

As long as you can be healthy, even if I go here to follow your mother under the Yellow Spring, I will have an explanation.

I don't know when you'll see this letter from Daddy.

Would you like to wait...

After reading this letter, Shi Yu immediately had doubts.

"Jincheng, do you know what Erya's mother's name is?"

When Jincheng heard this, he looked pensive.

"Princess Erya's mother died before Her Majesty ascended the throne, and I heard that after the emperor ascended the throne, he posthumously named her Concubine Li."

The oriole bird is the yellow warbler! Concubine Li! Concubine Ying! Warbler!

Yes!

Isn't this person who wrote the letter Erya's grandfather?!

As soon as Shi Yu figured this out, he raised his eyes and saw Jincheng being slashed by a knife behind him and fainted to the ground.

Before he could draw his long sword, the black-robed man held a short knife in his hand and pressed the blade against Shi Yu's neck.

"Who are you?!"

The man's voice seemed to be disguised, and the voice he made was hoarse and low, indistinguishable from male and female.

This person is in shape, and his kung fu is extremely deep, and Shi Yu's kung fu was threatened before a round began.

"In the next time."

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

The man sneered lightly when he heard this, and then said coldly.

"It doesn't matter if you are Shi Rong or Shi Yu, what I ask is, who are you assigned, and you have this Mei Ling with you?!"

When he said this, his tone remained unchanged, and his words were light, as if he was talking about something that everyone knew, but it made Shi Yu suddenly feel a chill in his back when he heard it, if he used to say that the person who said Chengmei Ji knew everything, he would only be exaggerating, but now it seems that it is really so...

"It's a long story..."

Shi Yu originally wanted to sell it.

"Long story short!"

The man's short knife approached his neck directly here, feeling the coolness on the sword, Shi Yu calmed down.

"It was Princess Erya who entrusted it to me."

"Princess?"

The man's tone was high, with obvious suspicion.
