Chapter 160: Rescue Plan

Dark and eerie water dungeon chambers

"Open the door!" A long-bearded old man in a yellow robe spoke.

The guard respectfully opened the door to the water cell.

Huang Youdao walked in, looked coldly at Pei Zhutian, who was tied up and nailed to the wooden frame by the five flowers, and said, "Senior brother, why are you so troubled?" If you can enjoy the same glory and wealth as me, why bother yourself? You see that you are covered in scales, your skin is open, and your flesh is full of blood? Now even rats are coming to bully you. ”

Pei Zhutian, who was dying, stretched his eyelids and said weakly: "Senior brothers have their own ambitions, if you still remember the love of your fellow brothers for many years, now I only want to die and hope to be fulfilled." ”

Huang Youdao sighed and said: "Now that my junior brother can't even save you, although I wrote a letter to trick you into the Black Hole Villa, but in fact, as long as you are willing to choose to sit in the same boat with me, everything can be safe." But you just didn't listen, you refused to ask you to refine the pill, you refused to study the secret recipe of longevity, you said that you have been refining those useless Hearth's Warming Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills for most of the year? ”

"Senior brother, in fact, you and I have been out of the same discipline for so many years, you should know that the so-called elixir of immortality does not exist, and people will inevitably die after all. After refining alchemy for a lifetime, I realized this, I regret it, it is better to learn some medical skills, cure diseases and save people, and live an ordinary life. Senior brother, you have been addicted to alchemy all your life, until now, you are white-haired, and you don't even have half a wife and children around you, what are you trying to do? ”

Huang Youdao interrupted him angrily and shouted, "You are talking nonsense, who said that people can't attain the Tao and ascend to immortals?" Who says people can't live forever? According to ancient books, there is indeed such a secret technique, but we are too stupid to study it, and I believe that sooner or later I will succeed, hahaha......"

Pei Zhutian looked at Huang Youdao sympathetically and sighed: "Senior brother, you are really crazy!" People are dying, and their words are good, listen to my advice that those ancient books are made up by someone randomly, you don't have to take it seriously. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Huang Youdao pointed at Pei Zhutian and scolded: "To tell you the truth, the golden envoy has already ordered to kill you, although you didn't cooperate with alchemy before, I think you have been protected many times over the years, but this time it won't work, you escaped from the Black Hole Villa without permission, do you think the golden envoy can still let you go?" ”

Pei Zhutian smiled desperately: "I know I can't escape, but I don't regret it." ”

When Pei Zhutian thought that the marriage of Pei Xiuxiu and Zeng Qingfeng had been decided, and he had said goodbye to Xiuxiu in advance, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his lips.

The reason why he risked his life to flee was to see his granddaughter for the last time, and the reason why he didn't say goodbye was to protect Xiuxiu, he didn't want Xiuxiu to be implicated because of his own reasons, and he didn't want the entire Dongsang Village to suffer because of himself.

There is always a number of causes and effects, and only when there is a cause can there be an effect, which is the will of God.

If he could do it all over again, he would never have entered the sect and never been obsessed with alchemy.

Yun'er, are you okay? Is it alive or dead? I was sorry for you at the beginning, so that you left heartbroken and didn't look back, everything was my fault, everything passed, and I was about to die. Lately, I've been thinking of the scene when we first met, and you are still gentle and sweet, smiling. Huh, ridiculous? In fact, you and I are both old, gray-haired, hey! Now I wish you were dead, so we would soon meet underground, and forgive me for my selfishness. In the next life, I will be a good man, and I will never fail you.

Maolin Temporary Settlement

Pei Xiuxiu, Linghu Subai, and Thunderbolt, who went out to forage for food, went out for three or four hours and did not return, so anxious that Zeng Qingfeng was unable to sit still.

There was movement in the grass in the distance, and Thunder shouted vigilantly: "Who is there?" ”

Three strangers in special costumes appeared in the grass, and the clothes were embroidered with the pattern of eagles, which Zeng Qingfeng thought was very familiar at a glance.

"They're from Black Hole Villa, and I see the guards have this sign on their clothes." Thunder reminded in a whisper.

All three of them wore hats and deliberately pressed their hats very low so that people could not see their faces clearly.

Zeng Qingfeng shouted: "Xiuxiu, don't pretend, I saw you earlier, don't hide behind." ”

Pei Xiuxiu took off her hat, a sense of frustration arose, and she asked unconvinced: "Huh? How so? So you can recognize it? It's over, it's over. ”

After Jing Lei saw the person clearly, he said with a relaxed expression: "It turned out to be you, I didn't recognize it just now, I thought you were from the Black Hole Villa, and I almost started to draw my sword." ”

Pei Xiuxiu chased after Zeng Qingfeng and asked, "Brother Qingfeng, how did you see it?" ”

Zeng Qingfeng replied seriously: "I really didn't recognize them, but as for you, I recognized them at once, if I have to explain, I am too familiar with meow, I can recognize you effortlessly with just a meow." ”

Hearing this, Pei Xiuxiu had a hint of sweetness in her heart, and her father-in-law said this seriously, with a cold and sullen serious appearance.

Sensing the shy look on Xiuxiu's face, Zeng Qingfeng couldn't help frowning: What is this girl thinking nonsense about?

Linghu Subai said, "Do you want to know how our clothes came from?" This is all thanks to Xiuxiu's work. ”

"Oh?" Zeng Qingfeng dragged a tail note meaningfully.

Linghu Subai explained: "At that time, we met a woodcutter on our way to forage for food in the forest, and he earnestly persuaded us to visit his house, saying that his house was not far away. We didn't think much of him when we looked honest, and followed him to his house, where he warmly entertained us with coarse tea and light rice, and we fainted after eating it. When we woke up again, we found that the woodcutter and his wife had fainted in the house, and Xiuxiu was sitting there munching on sweet potatoes. ”

Pei Xiuxiu then explained: "I saw that there was something wrong with that woodcutter, so I simply took the pill in advance and pretended to be stunned, and I heard the conversation between the woodcutter and her wife with my own ears and knew that they were the people of Black Hole Villa, who set up a special point here to monitor passers-by." Later, I also heard him say that he was going to find someone to send us into the Black Hole Villa, so I used the plum blossom needle to stun them when they were unprepared, and woke up the Linghu Gongzi and them. ”

Zeng Qingfeng nodded and said, "Xiuxiu, you did a good job, so our rescue plan is much simpler." We might as well disguise ourselves as the people of the Black Hole Villa and take you into the Black Hole Villa openly. ”

"That's a good idea, I think it works." Thunder echoed: "Presumably, those who are stunned will be taken to the underground prison and imprisoned, so that it is more convenient to save people." It's just Miss Pei and Miss Cailian......"

Zeng Qingfeng thought for a while and said: "Xiuxiu, we will send you and Cailian back to Xiatang Village first, you are waiting for our news there, this operation is extremely dangerous and it will be inconvenient for you." ”

"Hmm." Pei Xiuxiu nodded and said, "I know, Brother Qingfeng, you must be very careful, please save my grandfather." ”

Zeng Qingfeng nodded and agreed: "Well, don't worry, your grandfather is also my grandfather, I will do my best." ”

Thunder asked, "Is the valley lord still going to inform tonight?" After last night, the mass grave must have been unsafe, how do we inform him? ”

Zeng Qingfeng thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow night's rescue plan, we may have to act separately, Brother Thunder, the three of you will go into the prison to save people, tonight I will go alone to inform Yuehua and then let him step on a little bit to see where grandpa is being held." ”

"Is a person in danger? Brother Qingfeng. Pei Xiuxiu couldn't help but worry.

"You're thinking too much, don't worry too much, now let Brother Perak take you and Cailian back to Xiatang Village first."

"yes, okay."

The west wing of the adjacent villa

Ruying knocked on the door and said, "Valley master, our golden envoy is invited." ”

Yuehua put down the book and walked out of the room, and after turning around, Yuehua was taken to a secret secret room.

The golden envoy spoke: "You are here, and the patient you want to treat has been brought." ”

Yuehua glanced at the mysterious patient, a sickly young man under twenty years of age, with good looks and elegant manners, but his face was as white as paper due to years of illness, and his body was as thin as a weak woman.

Yuehua carefully checked the pulse, the breath was chaotic, the pulse was complex, the surface was very ordinary, but in fact it was the stubborn old root of the poison for many years.

"You've been poisoned? Moreover, it is a chronic poison that has been taken for many years. ”

The boy coughed a few times, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Yes, how do you know?" ”

Yuehua smiled: "I don't just know, I know what kind of poison yours is?" ”

He gently leaned on the young man's ear and said a few words, and the young man smiled: "The Medicine King Valley Master is really skilled, not to mention the doctors I have seen, but it is the first one like you who can accurately tell the cause of the disease." Qiu Jirong from your Medicine King Valley has been helping me to continue my life, but his medical skills are also limited, so he has not been able to cure him. Now that I have you, the king believes that there is hope for my illness to be cured. ”

Yuehua smiled after hearing this: "It turns out that you are a prince, it seems that I have to heal with all my heart, I can't afford to offend such a noble patient." ”

The young man smiled: "The valley master is polite, many things are involuntary, I have already seen it, at will." ”

Yuehua looked at this young and old prince, and couldn't help but think deeply.

This young man is none other than the younger brother of the current emperor, King Gongren, who has a cowardly personality and has no quarrel with the world, but there is an intrigue for the mother-Concubine Ying.

Concubine Ying is arrogant and insidious, and has been fighting for the throne openly and secretly, until the dust settles, and now the new emperor ascends the throne and even hopes to lag behind, she still does not give up. She is scheming with the ministers of the court on weekdays, and because she is related to the powerful Lord Ding Dongding, she has been making some small moves behind her back, just waiting for the time to come up one day to plot zào fǎn and fulfill her dream of being the queen mother.

The cowardly King Gongren's illness was also due to his mother, and the cruel palace fighting caused him to be designed by other concubines and even riddled with illness, and he suffered from illness.
