Chapter 257: The Chen Family
"Does it have to be real money?"
Cheng Qi looked at the seven boxes of silver ingots, and kept waxing the guy with his ticket number in his heart, turned back to the fierce dog and said: "Isn't it okay to have silver tickets, these boxes are carried to Qiu Mountain, and when they get to the foot of the mountain, they can't take the carriage, and when they get to the cottage, I'm afraid they will have to be tomorrow morning." ”
Hummer grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed it, shaking his head and vetoing Cheng Qi's proposal: "The silver ticket is very convenient, but Miss Qi, in our business, as long as the real money and silver, the silver ticket is afraid of flooding and fire, how to say that it is not safe, or the ingots are held in their hands, and they all say that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and we are more at ease." ”
Cheng Yan sneered beside him, clasped his arms and said nothing.
Hug looked at him, handed over the melon seeds in his hand, and said: "Young Master Zongyu try it, the tea and melon seeds on your ticket number are really good, what kind of tea is that, can you bring me a few packets, and take them back to my eldest brother and them to taste." ”
Cheng Yan swallowed the melon seeds and raised his feet to the side.
The Humdog looked at Cheng Qi again, and the man rarely saw such a big wonder as the Humdog, so he instructed the guy in the ticket number to get it, and immediately checked the number of silver ingots himself, and turned back to the Humdog who had been waiting for a long time and said: "The three masters, the silver is all together, do you have to send it in person?" ”
"For safety."
Hummer said with a hippie smile: "Besides, since Young Master Zongyu is also following, his martial arts are so high, and Ji Beihou in the Shangjing scout pile will not fall into disadvantage, I am a defenseless little lock, what can I do to you, don't say it's me, I'm afraid that I can pick it up in our stockade, and I can't go through three moves in the hands of Young Master Zongyu." ”
Hearing this person's flattery, Cheng Yan laughed a few more times, this time it was not a sneer, Cheng Qi looked at him with disgust, and said in his heart that this person was really narcissistic, and others praised him a few words.
"That's fine."
Cheng Qi said simply: "Prepare two people for me to lift." ”
Cheng Yan glanced over and teased: "You landlord wife who kills a thousand knives, how can you enslave the toiling masses." He waved his hand to the man who was speaking, "You don't have to prepare two people to carry it." ”
Cheng Qi glared, raised his little thin leg and said, "That's a night mountain road, with my current body, I'm afraid it will be abandoned directly after climbing." ”
"What do you mean by your current body?"
Hummer listened inexplicably.
However, the two members of the Cheng family didn't pay attention to him, a local native, and still said their own things, Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Qi, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the matter?" With your body as a criminal policeman, you can climb the mountain road overnight? Lazy is lazy, where are so many excuses. ”
Cheng Qi was angry, clutching his chest and leaning on the counter next to him.
In the end, Cheng Yan favored her, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'll carry you when you're tired." ”
…
"Auntie...... Girl, how long do we have left? ”
After getting out of the carriage, on the tree-lined path leading to the cottage, Xiao Tang, the guy with the ticket number, was really a little unable to hold on, sat on the cold ground, and said breathlessly: "Otherwise, let's rest for a while, it's been more than two hours, little one...... I'm tired and thirsty, and the little ones can't help it, so let's go later. ”
It's a shaded path, and though the leaves of the trees block out the scorching sun, it's a four-hour trek up a steep slope that is a tough one.
The soles of Cheng Qi's feet also seemed to be on fire, and her two calves were sore, like soaking in lemonade, although on the way, someone next to her wanted to carry her on her like a backpack from time to time, but out of the dignity of a police academy graduate, she refused every time.
As a result, now, Cheng Qi's intestines are green with remorse.
"Rest, rest."
Fortunately, Xiao Tang opened his mouth, Cheng Qi immediately got off the donkey down the slope, and asked the rest of the dozen guys to rest in place, she didn't care about anything else, sat cross-legged on the ground, kept fanning with her sleeves as a fan, and looked up at Cheng Yan, the person's state seemed to be better than when he didn't climb the mountain.
"Let's take a sip of water."
Cheng Yan asked the guy to bring the gourd containing water, Cheng Qi took it and drank a few sips, it was the spring water of the passing mountain stream, which was very sweet, and a lot of fatigue subsided at once.
Looking at Cheng Qi's red little face, Cheng Yan turned his head to look at the hummer, that person can be said to have grown up in Qiu Mountain, this little journey is a piece of cake for him, but he feels sorry for Cheng Qi so tired, so he said: "It's better to let them wait here, I'll go to the cottage with you to find some people, maybe we can hurry up." ”
Who knew that the dog refused again, and once again expressed his reasons: "Young Master Zongyu, don't be careful, the most valuable thing in your Qingquan Villa has to be Miss Qi, and my eldest brother and second brother and I only believe in Miss Qi, she must go with us." ”
"Just go, grind what."
Hearing this, Cheng Qi got up again, called those half-dead guys, lifted the seven heavy boxes of silver ingots, and continued to march towards the cottage halfway up the mountain of Qiu Mountain.
The so-called one blow, Cheng Qi and the others never rested again, and went directly to the halfway point of the mountain in one breath, and then looked back at their guys, it was dawn, but they looked like dead people.
"Big guy worked hard."
After rushing all night, Cheng Qi was also exhausted, propped up the tree next to him, and said, "You guys are resting here now." Glancing at the Hummer, "Tell your copycat people to come out and carry the boxes." ”
The humber nodded, and blew a crisp whistle at the cottage gate not far away, and the gate tied to the wooden fence immediately opened, poking out a head, and the humber beckoned, and the man also nodded, pushed open the cottage gate, and walked out of more than a dozen strong men.
Cheng Qi saw it, and said in her heart that this is what a mountain bandit should look like, the quiet appearance of the humming dog is really different, although as a criminal policeman, she has faced more ferocious gangsters, but the current situation and current body, she is still a little nervous in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yan, the person is still calm, and for her first reaction, Cheng Yan is very satisfied.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so strong men came over, and they moved those boxes into their cottage one by one, during which no one looked up at Cheng Qi and the others.
"Where's our goods?"
Seeing this, Cheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked the hug.
The Humdog smiled brightly and pointed to the sky.
Cheng Qi looked up strangely, but a shadow came to her face, it was a hemp rope net with barbs, she shouted Cheng Yan, and her waist was instantly grabbed by an arm, but she was still wrapped in the net, and the two fell to the ground on top of each other, and the rope net shrank extremely tightly.
Cheng Yan hugged her tightly, the flesh on her back was pierced by the barb, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and a strong dizziness rushed up, and he said, "The thorn is poisonous." ”
After that, fainted.
Cheng Qi wanted to call him, but he was knocked unconscious by a punch.
…
When he woke up again, Cheng Qi was torn apart, and found that he was hanging upside down on a deep well, which looked very deep, and smelled a lot of methane, if he fell, he would definitely die.
"Are you awake?"
Someone said.
Cheng Qi was very dizzy with his head down, looked at the man with difficulty, and was suddenly stunned.
Uncle Chen!
Chen family!
Wasn't she caught by those mountain bandits, how could she be in the hands of the Chen family Cheng Qi looked around in surprise, this is a square similar to a sacrificial platform, there are many people in black robes standing around, motionless, and if you look closely, it turns out to be a statue.
"What about Cheng Yan?"
Cheng Qi asked.
"The other person is still alive, you don't have to worry."
Uncle Chen said lightly: "Cheng Qi, since you tried to hang yourself three years ago, your various abnormal behaviors have come out, and I suspect that you are a traveler in the new world. ”
When Cheng Qi heard this, his blood was cold: "You are also a traverser!" ”
"Of course I'm not."
Uncle Chen said: "It's just that the reason why you new world travelers can come to this Dachang Dynasty is because of my blessing. He took out something from his sleeve, and it was a golden jade scroll, Cheng Qi glared: "Cheng Yan's scroll!" ”
"Of course not."
Uncle Chen lowered his face: "This is my scroll, Cheng Yan's one." He lowered his voice unhappily and said, "It's really annoying that the stinky boy was beaten like that and refused to hand it over." ”
Cheng Qi's eyebrows tightened, not knowing what was going on.
Seeing Cheng Qi's doubts, the uncle of the Chen family adhered to the characteristics of villains who talk a lot, walked around her unhurriedly, and said: "Our Chen family is a big business family on the surface, but in fact, it is not, we are in private, helping the emperor to study the elixir, and your good friend Jiang Xiaowang also knows about this matter, and he is also responsible for delivering the medicine to the emperor." ”
Cheng Qi asked, "I'm afraid, this is not your fundamental purpose, right?" ”
"Nope."
Uncle Chen did not deny it at all, and said: "That elixir is fake at all, but it can nourish qi and replenish blood, who will be the lackey of the old emperor." Squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Qi, "You don't know yet, Jiang Yun, the father of Jiang Xiaowangye, and your great-grandfather and grandfather, helped the dog emperor fight the world, who knew that after that person ascended the throne, lest the three of them cross the river and demolish the bridge, and designed to kill them." ”
Cheng Qi trembled and said incredulously: "What did you say?" ”
"Looks like you really don't know." Uncle Chen said, "At the beginning, your great-grandfather saw the emperor's intention to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and was about to say goodbye, but he didn't expect that when the news was revealed, the emperor gave him a cup, the so-called send-off wine, and poisoned it, and after your grandfather learned the news, he fled back to his hometown with his father's corpse, and was also stabbed by the emperor's listening desk spies, and was tortured by severe poison for two years before he died of depression, as for your father's ......"
"It was also instructed by the emperor to make Ge Yuanjun, Ge Zhijun united with your second uncle to let your father eat poisonous snacks for a long time and die for a long time." Uncle Chen said with a smile, "Do you know where the poison came from, it is your second uncle's mother-in-law, Chen, Ge Yuanjun was worried that things would fail, so he drove Chen crazy alive, locked him in Lantai, and could not come out for the rest of his life." ”
Cheng Qi's pupils trembled, but he didn't expect the intricacies behind this.
"Do you think that's the end of it?" The more Uncle Chen laughed, the happier he became, "Don't forget, among the founding feats, there is also a Jiang Yun, he has no way to be a minister, so he has to choose to pretend to be sick, but he can't stand the emperor sending someone to test him every month, it is a scallion pancake with or without poison, a few years later, Jiang Yun can't hold on, and after entering the palace to invite Jiang Xiaowang as the prince, he swallowed the sword and died." ”
"So this ruthless and unrighteous dog emperor, how can I help him do things."
Uncle Chen said: "I just want to use the Heavenly Treasure Secret Technique on the scroll to obtain the real elixir, but I only have one scroll in my hand, and I can't do it perfectly." ”
"That's why it pulls us from other worlds one by one."
Cheng Qi Daigo empowerment said.
"Yes, and every time you cast a spell, there will be lightning and thunder, and there will be a storm of rain." Uncle Chen said calmly, "Those strange rains in early winter were also done by us." ”
"Then what are you kidnapping me and Cheng Yanlai today?"
Cheng Qi asked sensitively.
Uncle Chen said: "Of course, it is for you and Cheng Yan's body." Fu said, "Nine Flowers are needed to make the elixir, but Nine Flowers can only be grown from corpses, but ordinary corpses are extremely decomposed, and their cultivation power is extremely low. "But the bodies of you traversers are different, and of course, I mean your original bodies. ”
"They are the most inperishable, and they are the best soil for planting Jiuxiao flowers, but unfortunately, we can't find them after looking for so many years, and I heard that the deep wound on your face at the beginning healed quickly, I think, maybe you don't need your original body, but your current body can also achieve the effect of planting flowers, so, Miss Qi, don't blame me for not pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Cheng ...... Cheng Yan. ”
After Cheng Qi heard this, although the amount of information was huge, he quickly digested it, that is to say, in order to grow the Nine Flowers that made the elixir of life, the Chen family used the Heavenly Treasure Secret Technique described in the scroll to prepare himself and others to travel over, originally intending to use the original body, but after finding it hard, he had to find these traversers and was forced to use their current bodies.
"What about Cheng Yan!"
Cheng Qi's first reaction was that person, he was not tied to himself, he wouldn't have been killed by the people of the Chen family and planted that immortal flower!
"Don't worry, I said he's still alive."
Uncle Chen smiled tactfully: "Having said that, it's really interesting, the two of you can still meet and become husband and wife in this huge Dachang Dynasty." ”
With that, he clapped his hands.
In the distance, the nearly twenty-meter-high white stone wall door slowly opened, and someone walked over with something, it was Chen Wang, and what he was holding was a severed hand.
The severed hand was rotten, but there was still a small flower growing on it, but it had begun to wilt due to lack of provisions.
Uncle Chen asked Chen Wang to take it, his sleeve shook, and a dagger fell into his palm, and he slashed at Cheng Qi's cheek without looking, and the cheekbones were deep, and blood flowed down and dripped on the flower.
But strangely, the flower was instantly rejuvenated.
At this moment, Uncle Chen was very pleased, and immediately said, "Great." He looked at Cheng Qi with shining eyes and said, "Bring me that stinky boy." ”
Chen Wang said cautiously: "Uncle, I think it's better to kill the insurance first." ”
"Nope."
Uncle Chen said: "I'd rather take risks, you have also seen the nourishing effect of living flesh and blood on this flower, go and bring people quickly." ”
Chen Wang had to do so, when Cheng Yan was dragged over, Cheng Qi's heart was broken, the man's clothes were broken and covered in blood, he was unconscious, he glanced at her, and said in a low voice: "Are you okay?" ”
At this time, the man was still taking care of himself, Cheng Qi was angry and relieved, and said viciously to the uncle of the Chen family: "I tell you, you will never succeed." ”
"Yellow-haired girl, there is only a hard mouth left."
Uncle Chen said lightly, took the knife and struck her cheek twice, and said with a sneer: "In this case, then I will let you see if I will succeed." ”
After that, he suddenly wanted to dissolve the wound again, but Cheng Yan, who was dying above the ground, suddenly rose up, and with an extremely strange body method, the uncle of the Chen family was stunned, and the dagger in his hand was immediately kicked away by the man, and the faint wrist bone was also cracked, he wailed and shouted: "Wang'er!" ”
Chen Wang also threw down the plate and rushed forward, but he didn't expect that when Fang was in the back cabinet, Cheng Yan turned out to be all pretended, this person was really able to bear it, and he didn't fight back when he was beaten like that.
But the man still started, but he couldn't resist it.
Seeing that Cheng Qi was injured, Cheng Yan was like a raging beast, Chen Wangwei expressed his heartfelt intentions, and gave Chen Ning a test of medicine all the year round, and he had already been poisoned quite deeply, and after a few moves, he was pressed to the ground by Cheng Yan, and before he could resist, the dagger flashed out of the man's hand, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Dare to move Xiaoqi's finger, I will make your life worse than death!" ”
Say it, stab him in the eye!
Chen Wang resisted violently, seeing that the tip of the knife was approaching, but he had no strength, frowning in despair, a silver light appeared in the depths of his pupils, and then, it was a bright red that hurt so much that he went crazy!
Suddenly!
Cheng Yan on his body trembled, it seemed that the anesthetic on the barb worked again, Chen Wang took the opportunity to kick him away, took a few breaths, covered the broken eye on the left, and staggered back.
"Wang'er! Come here! ”
Uncle Chen didn't expect Cheng Yan to come and pretend to be dead, so he even beckoned Chen Wang to run towards Shimen, and shouted at the same time: "Someone!" Come! ”
After the uncle of the Chen family finished shouting, dozens of black-robed people rushed out outside the stone gate, Cheng Yan locked his eyebrows, coughed heavily, cut the rope with a dagger to save Cheng Qi, and said in a low voice: "I'll help her break it later, you run out quickly, do you hear!" ”
"No way!"
Cheng Qi looked at the black-robed people who were approaching cautiously, and said in a low voice: "No matter how high your martial arts are, you will be outnumbered, not to mention that you are injured now." She glanced at the deep well at her feet, which was filled with a large amount of stinking methane, and looked up and said, "This." ”
Cheng Yan also immediately understood what she meant, and raised his head and said, "Are you sure?" ”
Cheng Qi nodded: "Biogas will explode when it encounters an open flame." Glancing at those black-robed people, "Since you can't fight it, you'll die, so just blow it up here, and no one will want to run." ”
Cheng Yan smiled: "He is worthy of being a science student." ”
Cheng Qi took the dagger, shook it in his hand, and said, "Later, you go to the front to open the way, and you must let me approach the stone gate, and then you come out again." ”
Cheng Yan didn't speak, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on her face, her eyes lit up, and her body rushed into the black-robed crowd like lightning, Cheng Qi saw this, and quickly followed behind him, although this body is not as good as modern times, but she still remembers the taekwondo skills she learned before, even if she can't beat them, it is still enough to dodge and escape in them.
Finally, Cheng Qi gradually approached the huge stone gate, glanced back at Cheng Yan, and opened his mouth in some astonishment, it seems that he is still a small person's martial arts.
Even if he was seriously injured, even if he was outnumbered, Cheng Yan still did not fall behind, seeing that Cheng Qi was already approaching the stone gate, he dodged the fatal blow and ran towards her position quickly, and those black-robed people were in hot pursuit, Cheng Yan tore off the silver hair crown, threw it out with all his might, and hit the organ in question accurately, boom, the two stone doors slowly approached, ready to close!
"Xiaoqi! Come on! ”
Seeing this, Cheng Qi pulled his legs and ran to the empty space where there were still five or six meters to close, but Cheng Yan's speed was faster than her, he caught up with her in a few steps, snatched the dagger in her hand, and knocked her out with a ruthless palm, and the person reflexively showed self-protection and fell to the ground.
Landing outside the stone gate that was gradually closing.
"Cheng Yan!"
Cheng Qi couldn't care about the broken palm, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Come out quickly!" ”
Cheng Yan turned around, those black-robed people were more than ten meters away, and he could get close to him between breaths, he almost gritted his teeth, and his arm burst out with huge force, throwing the dagger out, and the dagger grazed the edge of the stone well, hitting some sparks, and falling in!
Moment!
A biogas explosion is coming!
The fiery red waves hit the open space outside the red stone gate, illuminating a line of extreme red, and also illuminating Cheng Qi's stunned eyes, she shouted hoarsely: "Cheng Yan! ”
The man turned around and ran out at the moment when the dagger was thrown, but the speed of the explosion was faster, Cheng Yan only felt the pain in his back, jumped up, and finally escaped at the last second when the stone gate was about to close!
The moment he landed, the stone door slammed shut, and then, a deafening explosion sounded on the other side of the stone gate, Cheng Yan couldn't care about himself, and hugged Cheng Qi in front of him in his arms, for fear that the explosion would shatter the stone wall and thus smash the person!
Fortunately, the stone gate is still very strong.
It's just that the swamp pool under this square seems to be very large, and the explosion lasted for more than a minute before it gradually subsided, Cheng Yan raised his head and looked at the stone gate that shook a little, then he exhaled weakly, let go of Cheng Qi in his arms, and said, "It's okay." ”
Cheng Qi blinked, looked at Cheng Yan's injuries, his lips trembled slightly, and finally figured out everything in the past three years, the conspiracy that was linked one by one, and the huge powerlessness of being used as a chess piece, and the so-called founding family, meritorious nobles, but also victims.
Cheng Qiqing burst into tears and choked up: "Cheng Yan, I'm a little scared." ”
Seeing this, Cheng Yan touched his fleshy back, hissed softly, and then hugged Cheng Qi in his arms again, and comforted: "It's okay, as long as the two of us are together, there is nothing impossible." "As long as you say it, I can do anything." ”
Cheng Qi was silent and burst into tears, hugging him harder.
