Chapter 499: Go deep into the Yin Yang Palace
Gu Shisan looked at Chu Nian's gaze, saw such a delicate-looking dagger, shook his head and said, "That one doesn't work, that one is ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Chu Nian take out the dagger from his arms, frowned, and said, "Do you think it's the same as this one?" β
In Chu Nian's hand was the dagger that Ming Xiu gave her a long time ago, this dagger had also been with Chu Nian for two years, and the dragon-shaped pattern on it was exactly the same as on the dagger. Fastest updateββ
Seeing Gu Shisan's face stunned, he took a few steps forward, staring directly at the dagger in Chu Nian's hand, "How can this dagger be in your hand?" β
Chu Nian frowned, seeing that Gu Shisan was about to touch the dagger in his hand, he flipped his wrist and put the dagger back, before he said, "This is given to me by His Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong?" β
Seeing Chu Nian take the dagger back, a trace of loss flashed in Gu Thirteen's eyes, and he sighed and said, "This dagger is a friend of mine, but that friend is ...... She gave me this dagger before leaving, and the other is said to have been given to her most important person. β
Hearing this, Chu Nian frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the dagger in his hand, and he saw Gu Shisan on the side looking at her with a slight flash, and after a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Since this other one is already in your hand, it doesn't make sense for me to keep this one......"
He turned his back, "You take it." β
Chu Nian was stunned, and then saw Gu Shisan raise his hand, as if wiping the tears on his face, and the faint sound of inhalation from the side actually made Chu Nian feel a little guilty in his heart.
In the end, she breathed a long sigh of relief, stepped forward, took off the dagger, looked around again, and after a while, gently pursed her red lips and said, "I won't take anything else, just these two things, it should be enough to save your life." β
"Wait, I'll go with you." Chu Nian's words just fell, and when he turned around and walked towards the door, he saw Gu Shisan open his mouth and said, "You are so impulsive, it must be for the sake of Prince Mingxiu?" β
Chu Nian nodded slowly, and saw Gu Shisan muttering for a while, "I'll go with you, I also want to ask Prince Ming Xiu in person, the origin of this dagger." β
Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, it seems that the former owner of this dagger must be Gu Shisan's dead "girl", right? To be able to have such a concern as Gu Thirteen, I want to come......
She nodded slightly, "It's okay, one more person is one more guarantee." β
β¦β¦
After Gu 13 and the others said hello, the three of them went out of the salt pan together, and when they found the Medicine King's master and apprentice and Ah Wu, they had already made ten bottles of potions that could restrain those monsters.
Everyone set off towards Lucheng and went straight to the Yin and Yang Temple.
Binhai City is not far from Lucheng, and it is a day's journey at most by carriage, and by the time everyone arrives in Lucheng, it is already dark.
Now that Lord Nagou has run away, with the connection between him and the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, it is impossible for the people on this side of the Yin-Yang Temple not to know the news of the fall of the corrupt officials in Beihai.
If the hall master of this Yin-Yang God Sect branch hall was not a fool, he should also know that Chu Nian would definitely come to find trouble, so this trip would definitely not be easy.
But before that, there is still some preparation.
Everyone found an inn in Lucheng to live in first, and Ah Wu and Chu Nian lived in one room, but Tao Jinyan forced Ah Yu away, and he was willing to go to sleep only if he had to talk to Chu Nian.
At this stall, Chu Nianzheng carefully dismantled two of the powder kegs, and divided the gunpowder in the two into five small powder kegs, which were mixed with a lot of poison powder obtained from the medicine king, and connected them together with fuses.
Tao Jinyan was puzzled: "What are you doing here?" β
Chu Nian glanced up at him, didn't speak, for a while, seeing that Tao Jinyan was really curious, he said helplessly: "Don't worry, you will naturally know when you use it." β
This Fang Tao frowned, "You have been hiding a lot of things from me recently. β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this person was because she didn't tell him when she came out, this party was very unhappy, and couldn't help but helplessly say: "It's just that I didn't have time to inform you, the matter is too urgent, besides, you are a patient, what's the use of me telling you." β
"I'm not sick." Tao Jinyan's peach blossom eyes were still displeased, "If it weren't for the news that Ming Xiu sent me......"
He raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Nian, Chu Nian suddenly remembered that if it wasn't for Tao Jinyan before, she might have died at this moment, she was stunned, and after a while, Fang smiled helplessly: "Thanks to you." β
Momo's words suddenly became proud, as if one could see the tail wagging behind him from the smile on the fox's face, "It's good that you know, you won't take me anywhere next time." β
Chu Nian's face was complicated for a moment, and he stuffed the two strings of small explosives into Tao Jinyan's hand before getting up, "Okay, it's time to go." β
Seeing that she was packing up her things and preparing to leave, Tao looked at the sky outside the window suspiciously, "So early?" No more waiting? β
"Let's go and step on it first." Chu Nian smiled back, frowned slightly and looked at the gunpowder in his arms, "You have to arrange the back road first." β
β¦β¦
At night, there was silence all around, Chu Nian and the others were dormant in a bush, and in front of everyone, there was a huge mahogany door in the courtyard, guarded by two thin and tall black-clothed people at the door, and under the quiet night sky, those two pairs of eyes were shining with a strange light.
Not long after, Tao Jinyan and Wu Liang came back, they didn't bring the medicine king and the aunt on this trip, after all, these two people didn't have much combat power, the medicine king just prepared all kinds of poisons and handed them to Chu Nian, and the aunt stayed on standby.
This Fang Chu Nian was frowning and looking at Tao Jinyan and Wu Liang who were empty-handed, "Give you four bottles, all of them are gone?" β
Wu Liang shrugged, "Following the county lord's orders, sprinkling a drop every other foot is not enough." β
Hearing this, Chu Nian had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and saw Tao Jinyan's folding fan in his hand swaying gently, and seemed to be very calm, "There is a small gate in the south, and there are no guards outside, so it must be to invite you into the urn?" β
Chu Nian frowned, the people inside must have thought that they were coming, so they took full precautions, and now they left the only small door without defense, I am afraid that when they enter, it will definitely not be easy inside.
And Gu Shisan, who was beside Chu Nian, looked at the gate in front of him with interest, "Why don't we put down these two first, and just enter through the main entrance?" β
Hearing this, Chu Nian frowned, her eyes swept over the two of them, and after a while, she raised her eyes again, looked at the high walls around her, and at the end, sighed helplessly, "That's it...... Let's go in through the small door at the back, and it's better not to be too startled. β
Tao Jinyan and Wu Liang on the side were relaxed, Wu Liang put his hands behind his back, "What if it's not just a monster here?" β
Chu Nian got up, his eyes flashed slightly, "If you meet a normal person, you can directly use poison and Gu, don't worry." β
When these words fell, Wu Liang suddenly became excited, and his subordinates were eager to try, "Okay." β
This house is not small, Chu Nian and the others walked a thousand steps to find the small door, and when they opened the back door, it was still dark inside.
What appeared in front of everyone seemed to be a garden, and the trees in front of them were unevenly grown, and most of them were withered, with the cold moonlight above, a gust of wind blew, which was particularly weird.
Chu Nian frowned and looked at the courtyard in front of him, which seemed to have no light, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Be careful." β
Everyone bypassed the barren garden, and a house was looming not far away, until Chu Nian walked to the eaves of the house, only to hear a burst of scattered footsteps not far away, Chu Nian hurriedly pulled Wu Liang and Tao Jinyan to hide behind the beams, and Gu Shisan's figure flashed, and he didn't know where to hide.
The footsteps came from far and near, it was a group of people in black, and they were also Yin Scroll cultivators, thinking that this Yin Yang Divine Sect would use Yang Scroll cultivators during the day, and Yin Scroll cultivators would be used more at night, so alternating like this, it avoided the weaknesses of the two sides.
When the group of black-clothed people walked by, Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and came out from behind the pillar, while Tao Jinyan on the side raised his eyebrows slightly, "Gu Thirteen is gone." β
Chu Nian looked around, and sure enough, taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Shisan didn't know where to run, but it didn't matter, Gu Shisan was also a measured person, and he could escape with light skills at a critical time, but he was not afraid that he would encounter danger.
At this time, he saw Tao Jinyan frowning slightly, pursed his lips and said, "Here comes again." β
As he spoke, several people hid in the darkness again, and after a while, a figure came out from the corner, she was wearing a huge black cloak, her hair was tied up high, and under the moonlight, the beautiful fox eyes shimmered, and the face with a little charm was even more fascinating.
Chu Nian almost screamed in surprise, "Mei Niang! β
Isn't Mei Niang dead? But she didn't find Mei Niang's body in the fire before...... Chu Nian frowned and turned his eyes to look at Tao Jinyan, the surprise in Tao Jinyan's eyes was no less than Chu Nian, at this moment, his thin lips were pursed, and his chest was undulating.
Only Wu Liang, who was on the side, whispered curiously: "Do you know this person?" β
Chu Nian frowned, pursed his red lips, nodded, and shook his head again.
She wasn't sure if the woman in front of her was Mei Niang, she remembered the last time she was in Xichu, but she had also seen Mei Niang appear, and it was when the fourth prince of Xichu turned his daughter into a monster.
This time, Mei Niang appeared again, and it was actually in the branch of the Yin-Yang God Sect, and Chu Nian really couldn't convince himself that the Mei Niang in front of him, who did not die in the fire, had nothing to do with this Yin-Yang God Sect.
At this point, Tao Jinyan smiled slightly, "She found us." β
As soon as the words fell, she saw that Fang Meiniang's figure stopped under the cold moon, and after a while, she raised her eyes, and her cold gaze looked directly at Chu Nian's side, and the corners of her mouth were also a meaningful smile.
"Lord Wushuang, since you've arrived, why don't you come out to meet the old man?"
Chu Nian frowned slightly, it seemed that he couldn't hide now.
Seeing three figures slowly walking out of the darkness, Mei Niang raised her eyes slightly, her gaze swept over Tao Jinyan and Wu Liang in turn, and finally fell on Chu Nian's face.
"County Lord, we met again, but it's a pity that it was in such a scene, back then, Mei Niang was especially grateful to the county lord."
Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes became more and more complicated, originally she was not sure that the woman who appeared in the mansion of the fourth prince of Western Chu would be Mei Niang, but now it seems that they have had a relationship a long time ago.
"Why, isn't the county lord happy to see the old man?"
"You...... Isn't it dead? β
