Chapter Twenty-Eight: The End of Life
Hu Xianxian was guessing what Gao Youbiao would do with him, and Gao Youkuo ran in in a panic: "Brother Biao, Baowa has been arrested!" So what fairy grass is fake! “
Gao Youbiao's face twitched: "If it's fake, it's fake, what's there to panic about?" This kind of thing is not encountered once, kill all those who fake, and vent your anger for Baowa. ”
Gao Youkuo was about to cry with a bitter face: "I can't kill them, they are Taoist priests of Yuanmingguan, and their kung fu is not ordinarily good." Thirteen people went and ran back. ”
"Well deserved! Are those Taoist things moving? Who let them go? ”
It was the old man who boasted to Baowa that the grass could soar through the clouds and fog when eaten, and he also said that he had a relationship with the people of Yuanmingguan and could approach them and outwit them. Who knew that it was discovered, Baowa was arrested, and most of them died! Youde picked up a life and came back with a box, but who knew that it was filled with a pile of weeds. ”
Hu Xianxian secretly thought that Gui Chongxu had done these things, and he should have colluded with the people of Yuanmingguan. I knew that they were also connected with King Shenjun, so I shouldn't have acted recklessly, and it was too late to regret it at this moment.
Gao Youkuo was about to leave after finishing speaking, and Gao Youquan, who was standing next to Gao Youbiao, said, "Wait, what did you want to get originally?" ”
"The old man said that it was called the Worm Bell Grass, and some time ago, the people from the County King's Mansion inquired about this thing everywhere."
Gao Youquan walked up to Hu Xianxian and asked her compassionately: "What you sent to the county king's mansion is that kind of grass, right?" ”
Hu Xianxian's mouth hurt so much that she couldn't speak, but she didn't want to die and still be in her pocket, so she laughed hard.
Gao Youbiao roared: "I still ask you about your fart!" Drag this mother-in-law out and kill her! “
The two of them dragged her upside down, and one of them whispered, "Just kill like that?" It's quite smart, so why don't you reward the brothers for fun? As he said this, the person who dragged her paused.
Gao Youquan knocked him on the head, glared fiercely and said, "Do you think you have a long life?" This mother-in-law has a lot of fancy intestines, and if Brother Biao doesn't think that the blood stains the place, she will be killed here. ”
Hu Xianxian was dragged to the grass outside the house, she closed her eyes, she was not very afraid, and the words kept swirling in her mind, "Another trip to the world for nothing...... Again in vain......"
She felt a knife wind hit the back of her head, and her heart tightened - only to hear the sound of "ding bell", it was estimated that the big knife that was slashing at her was stopped.
"Gao Youbiao, you dare to kill the people under me?"
Hu Xianxian opened his eyes and saw that Ye Guanying's sword eyebrows were upside down, and he pointed directly at Gao Youbiao with the fan in his hand.
Next to him stood Cheng Haofeng, who looked coldly at the executioner, and the bandit wanted to pick up the big knife on the ground, but Cheng Haofeng's cold eyes didn't dare to step forward to pick it up.
When Gao Youbiao saw them saving people under the knife, he didn't laugh angrily and said loudly: "The people under your hands? Are you admitting that you colluded with the government to murder your brother? ”
Ye Guanying also laughed, shook off the fan and slapped it twice, "Murder? You can say that again! Several of the big boss's henchmen are missing, who did it? ”
Gao Youbiao glanced at Cheng Haofeng, "Don't blame me for saying you, all you collect are people from unknown sources, and one day it will be planted in the hands of your own people." ”
Ye Guanying waved at him, and said with a dark smile: "Second Brother Xie reminds me, I want to accept my own relatives by my side like you, so who still takes the eldest brother in his eyes?" It's better to scatter and occupy a hill. ”
Gao Youbiao heard the thorn in his words, and just wanted to have a seizure, Gao Youquan gave him a look, and he endured it.
He pointed at Hu Xianxian and said, "No matter what, you can't take this woman away." ”
Ye Guanying no longer shook the fan, and looked at Cheng Haofeng with inquiring eyes, Cheng Haofeng said expressionlessly: "We didn't want to take her away." ”
"And what are you doing here?"
"I don't want to take her, but I can't let you kill her." Ye Guanying smiled knowingly, and shook the fan quite chicly, "I haven't figured out who she is, so let's lock it up." ”
Gao Youbiao looked at him suspiciously: "Closed? What are you thinking? ”
"Locked up, locked up with the kidnapped Dao girl."
Ye Guanying glanced at Hu Xianxian, "The prefect of Yizhou has sent troops; The Che prefect of Lingzhou was also forced to send troops; You robbed the fairy grass of Yuanmingguan, and they gathered a lot of fellow disciples to take it back; Shanfu Temple will welcome Shen Tingyang to send them a lot of offerings, and invite many high-ranking monks. This posture is aimed at Gaojia Village, and Master She is afraid that he will not be able to protect us. Keeping the two of them will always make the officers and soldiers throw into the rat trap, and we can have a quid pro quo. ”
Gao Youbiao listened very hesitantly, and Gao Youquan said: "Those Taoist priests' immortal grass is fake at all, and they are looking for excuses to find faults." Those monks from Shanfu Temple have always been with us that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it must be the person surnamed Shen who is making trouble, and he may have come for Master She. ”
Hu Xianxian listened to them, but she didn't understand them at all, she looked at Cheng Haofeng with inquiring eyes, but Cheng Haofeng turned his head. His stinky face made Hu Xianxian scold secretly, what are you dragging? Isn't it for your sake that I'm going to end up here? If only I could get out alive and ignore these messy people again.
Gao Youbiao "Phew" Gao Youquan has a mouthful of phlegm: "What to exchange?" It's a man who should kill those people back! Come on, lock that woman and Dao Gu under my room! ”
Seeing that Gao Youbiao agreed not to kill Hu Xianxian, Ye Guanying waved at him: "I have to prepare early, and I won't delay the big battle soon." ”
Hu Xianxian was thrown into a stone room under Gao Youbiao's room, which was only the size of two tables, and only two tables high, and people could only bend over inside.
Qiao Chushi's hands were tied behind the back, and his legs were locked by a thick iron chain on the wall.
Hu Xianxian leaned to her side and said humbly: "Qiao Yuanjun, I have caused you to suffer." ”
Qiao Chushi chuckled: "Don't say stupid things, it was you who found the entry point for us to start a great cause." Some things happen sooner or later, but it's lucky to happen at the right time. ”
"I don't understand what you're saying, we can't escape. This stone room is small, just close the sound, no matter how light the footsteps are, they can be heard by the people above, and no one can come to save us. ”
"Don't talk, nourish your spirit."
Qiao Chushi couldn't meditate cross-legged, still closed her eyes and breathed. Hu Xianxian also followed her example, but her eyes were closed but her mind was chaotic.
Soon after, she heard the sound of fighting outside, and she was even more panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up and look outside through the ventilation hole. She forgot that the stone chamber was not high, and she hit the top of the stone together, and her brain hurt when she was hit.
She sat down again, Qiao Chushi slowly opened her eyes, and whispered, "Get ready, I'll take you out." ”
"You?" She looked at the iron chain tied to Qiao Chushi's body, could she break the iron chain made of dark iron?
When Hu Xianxian was puzzled, a small jade sword slowly appeared on the wall, which was Cheng Haofeng's.
Qiao Chushi said: "Quickly pull out the jade sword and help me cut the iron chain." ”
Hu Xianxian took the small jade sword in his hand and looked at the wall, and there was no trace on the wall.
Qiao Chushi urged her: "Don't look at it, it's Uncle Tai's Huixin Jade Sword, you can do whatever you want, not hindered by vulgar things." ”
Hu Xianxian used his sword to cut the iron chain, but the iron chain was not broken: "No." Are you talking about Uncle Taishi Cheng Haofeng? Why didn't he just come to save us? ”
"His mana is restricted, and he can't use the wall-piercing technique. Don't be brutal, focus your mind on one point, you have to think that I won't be able to take you out if the chains continue. ”
Hu Xianxian closed his eyes and restrained his mind, and single-mindedly cut off the iron chains, and sure enough, those iron chains were broken silently. After the chain broke, the little jade sword automatically sank into the wall again.
Qiao Chushi was unrestrained, pulled open the iron lock of the small door with one hand, and turned over. Hu Xianxian only heard the sound of the fight, and in less than half a pillar of incense, Qiao Chushi reached out to pull her out.
Hu Xianxian came up and saw five or six people on the ground, one of whom seemed to be a fat man, Gao Youde, and he was still struggling to get up.
Qiao Chushi glared at him: "Gao Youbiao has run away, what are you still fighting?" ”
Gao Youde hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, Qiao Chushi grabbed Hu Xianxian's arm and ran on the ground. She was far less fast than Cheng Haofeng, but she was so fast that the bandits couldn't see them clearly, and they had already run away.
Running to a place not far from Zenfukuji Temple, a carriage appeared. Qiao Chushi shouted: "Ah Xiu, quickly put on the horse." ”
The person in the carriage was Qiao Chushi's eldest disciple, and as soon as she saw Hu Xianxian, she shouted: "Master, she is with the kidnappers." ”
Qiao Chushi took Hu Xianxian into the carriage and urged the disciples: "Hurry up, the master understands everything, and I'll tell you when I go back to the palace." ”
The night is like paint, but the lights inside Zenfukuji Temple are bright. Hu Xianxian asked, "How can Mr. Shen come to worship the Buddha with such a grand puja?" Isn't the prince afraid of making trouble with publicity? ”
Qiao Chushi explained: "You only know that there are bandits in Gaojia Village, but you don't know that there are demon dragons in Qinglong Mountain that have been entrenched for many years. Zenfukuji Temple is in the name of the puja, inviting the world's high monks to descend the dragon. Cen Zhenren also used the name of the theft of fairy grass to invite Taoist members to help. My Taoist skills are low, and I can't participate in the battle of descending the dragon, and it is also a merit to attract the official army to kill the minions he cultivated in Gaojia Village. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't understand what she was talking about, and she didn't want to ask more. When they entered the city, because Qiao Chushi rode with them, the soldiers defending the city did not embarrass them.
Hu Xianxian found that the tower of the city gate was full of soldiers, and asked Qiao Chushi: "Will there be danger in this battle of Lingzhou City?" ”
"Yes, if the situation of the battle is unclear and the time drags on for too long, the people in the city will inevitably suffer from the fish in the pond."
"Then I have to go back to Hongbin Building and take my family with me."
"Hongbin Building?" Sang Wenxiu said: "The people from Hongbin Lou may have already arrived in Taihe County. When I went out, I went to Lingzhou with Miss Du, and she said that she would take the people from Hongbin Lou to Taihe County. ”
"Miss Du? Du Wanzhi, doesn't she live in Hongbin Building? Hu Xianxian's heart was full of doubts, could it be that Du Wanzhi still had something to hide from her?
Qiao Chushi said: "Miss Du is the reincarnation of our ancestor's younger sister, and she once gave a dream to Senior Sister Qi, asking her to take Miss Du to live in Qionglian Palace and take good care of her. ”
Sang Wenxiu said again: "She was forced to marry and couldn't do it, she had to be instructed in her dream to go to Qionglian Palace to avoid trouble, so she moved here." Yesterday, she had to go out to Lingzhou City to report to the people in Hongbin Building, but the third uncle didn't listen to her no matter how much she persuaded her. I saw that she was really anxious, so I coaxed Grandma Cai, who was following her, and took her out. ”
Hu Xianxian put his mind at ease and said that he really didn't save Du Wanzhi in vain.
Qiao Chushi pinched her fingers and said after some mental calculation: "You are relieved, your disaster has been avoided." But in this way, Miss Du will be in trouble! Alas, the patriarch asked her to go to Qionglian Palace and let us take care of her, it must have been arranged in advance, how could she run around at will? ”
Hu Xianxian looked at the fainter and fainter moonlight in the sky, and felt uncomfortable, when will this disaster be?
