Chapter Seventy-Seven: There Is Light in the Eye
Although this vicious battle is over, for Cangli and Xiao Qingqian, it is the beginning of the vicious war. There were many dark ghosts watching around him, and now without the protection of the big array and psychedelic people, Cang Li and Xiao Qingqian have now become the people ordered by the demon lord to hunt down, and those things will definitely kill desperately.
Sure enough, they were surrounded, there were a lot of those things, if they came up in groups, they didn't have the strength to fight back at all, so when they didn't get closer, Cangli pulled Xiao Qingqian to rush out of the encirclement, looking for a place to shelter, they ran all the way, those things desperately blocked and tore, until they ran out of the distance and saw that there seemed to be light in front of them, it was a light lamp, and finally they saw hope.
The light lamp is their only shelter tonight, and the dark ghost naturally knows that they have to intercept and kill before this, but where can those things resist Cangli, Cangli threw Xiao Qingqian to the bright lamp, and he reflexively went out to fight again, and the night finally quieted down.
Xiao Muzhi still couldn't get too close to the light lamp, so he could only stay far away, Xiao Qingqian squatted in front of the light lamp and was silent, just now he finally ignited a glimmer of hope in the psychedelic child, but now it is shattered again, Cangli sat opposite her and was silent with her.
Under the illumination of the faint light, Xiao Qingqian inadvertently turned his head sideways to see Cangli's face, as if he had thought he was very good-looking more than once, so he stared at him sideways, but was quickly bounced off his head by Cangli unconsciously, "What do you want?" ”
Xiao Qingqian came back to his senses, touched his forehead, and said casually, "There is light in your eyes." At the moment of saying it, I suddenly felt that this sentence was weird, and suddenly my mind flashed whether I liked Cangli, and I don't know when I began to become a little dependent on him, and began to get used to walking behind him, I would look at his back, and I helped his back and pulled his hand and touched his face, of course, it was when he couldn't see it, but I got along every day and overcame all kinds of hardships and hardships, but I was also worried about whether I would be separated one day.
"Oh, I mean, the light of the light of the candle is very beautiful in your eyes." Xiao Qingqian hurriedly added another sentence, but Cangli didn't seem to care much on his face, Xiao Qingqian turned away, "Now you remember what happened before, how did your eyes go blind in the first place?" ”
How is it blind? What happened that day seemed to have happened not long ago, several Jianghu sects and the imperial court besieged the Kun Underworld Palace, in the sword light and blood shadow, his little girl wore ten thousand swords in order to save him, he was crazy and blind, and then the Guangchen mage appeared with a astrolabe and took him away. After that, he kept sleeping in the astrolabe, he didn't remember anything in his head, and he didn't know how long he slept, until Xiao Qingqian appeared, and he woke up.
"I don't really remember that." Cang Li said lightly, he had completely lost his mind when he went crazy, his eyes were blood-red and his brain was blank, and he really couldn't remember anything except killing.
"Then tell me another story about you, last night you said that you gave up the Tu Yan faction and joined the Kun Hades Palace, what happened later?"
Of course, the Kun Hades Palace is not so easy to enter, and those who have no ability are not worthy of entering, even if Wen Qi, who ranks in the top five of the Kun Hades Palace, recommends it, it will also have to go through layers of experience and testing. At the beginning, the five fateful sects of the Kun Hades Palace would send different people to compete with Cang Li, and Cang Li passed the assessment one by one, and the last assessment was arranged by the master of the Kun Hades Palace.
That night, Wen Qi threw a bag of silver on the table and said to Cang Li: "Boy, don't ruin my reputation. This means that the last assessment is coming, but the master of the Kun Hades Palace did not see him, but sent someone to tell him to wait at Oiran Kotoyuki, and that there would be an employer to give him a task.
Qin Xue is the top brand of the Qunfang Courtyard in Luoyan City, she dances like a shock, plays the piano like a heavenly sound, and a peerless beauty like her is also a person from the Kun Hades Palace. In a gentle place like Qunfangyuan, it is the best place to investigate and collect information and exchange clues, or to meet and trade in private on important matters, but the cost of entering and exiting Qunfangyuan is not low, it seems that Wen Qi already knows what this mission is, and it is also a practical mission.
The employer of this mission met in the third room of the West Wing on the third floor of Qunfang Courtyard at about two o'clock in the morning. He did not choose to enter from the main gate of Qunfang Courtyard, but from the backyard over the wall, climbed to the third floor with light skills, he jumped out of the window and entered the place of appointment, only to see a woman figure in the veil, with a graceful posture, mixed with sweet and elegant incense, floating in the shadows, all the tension and solemnity dissipated instantly.
The woman plucked the strings a few times at random, and asked, "Why do you have to jump out of the window if you don't enter?" ”
"Convenient."
"If everybody is greedy for convenience, how can this business continue." As she spoke, the woman plucked the strings a few more times, and although it was a few notes, it also hit the heart, and then she said: "The person you are looking for has not come yet, so wait a moment, I have made a new tea, don't be stunned there, come and have a drink." ”
Her voice is also surprisingly good, such as the yellow oriole singing, accompanied by the "grunt" sound of the tea boiling, Cangli slowly walked over to remove the veil, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, beautiful makeup, indescribably beautiful, every gesture is so gentle and elegant, considerable and not blasphemous, this person is Qin Xue.
Cangli has wandered so many places in Kyushu, and he has never seen such a beautiful person, but he sat in front of the coffee table very calmly, watching her lift the lid, scald the cup, spoon the soup, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, the tea brought over was fragrant, and it was just enough to eat.
After drinking two teas, Qin Xue didn't ask anything else, only asked Cangli if she had ever been to a place called Dengzhou, and Cangli replied no. Half a quarter later, it was already two o'clock, Cangli came early, and the employer was late, the three teas had passed, Qin Xue was no longer with her, and the moment she stood up and walked towards the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and said: "Next time you come to drink the tea I brewed, you have to pay, otherwise bring me a news about Dengzhou." ”
Cangli put all the money given by Wen Qi from the bag on the table, Qin Xue didn't take it and opened the door and went out, Cangli was the only one left in the room, the incense of the incense burner had been burned, and there was residual incense around, and the tail note was an astringent wood fragrance. Cangli continued to wait patiently, he firmly believed that the person would definitely come.
After another half a moment, a girl pushed the door in, holding an envelope in her hand, handed it to Cangli and said, "There is a son for you, telling you to do what the letter says." Cangli took the envelope and immediately opened it to see that it read: March 3rd to get the jade and hand it over here.
The day after tomorrow is the March 3rd Festival, and Cangli needs to know as soon as possible what and where the jade is. The next day, he learned from the careful investigation of the Kun Hades Palace that this jade was in the Ning Wangfu, and on the day of the March 3rd Shangsi Festival, a sacrifice needs to be held by the Beijiang River to pray for the removal of illness and disaster, and the jade is one of the sacrifices of this sacrifice, and all the sacrifices will be thrown into the river after the ceremony, and it seems that someone is reluctant to give up this jade.
This jade is originally a treasure from Penglai Xianzhou, rare in the world, Ning Wangfu is willing to sacrifice in order to please the court, for sacrifice to pray for peace in the world, this is a ridiculous act in the eyes of Cangli, every year to sacrifice this Beijiang should send a big flood to flood the fields or send a big water, the plague will still break out when the plague is going to run rampant, pray to the heavens is better than ask for their own hands.
The easiest way to get the jade is to hide in the river during the sacrifice, and wait for it to be thrown into the river to pick it up, but Cangli decided to play some adventure, and planned to steal the jade before the sacrifice, without this high-profile thing, this March 3 should also be quite fun.
That night, Cangli sneaked into Ning Wangfu, Ning Wangfu has two generations of meritorious service, and it was also glorious for a while, but I didn't expect the border guards to be loose, the popularity is thin, although the pavilions and pavilions are luxuriously decorated, but they are not at all as heavily guarded as the outside world has been preached in the past, and the scene of singing until dawn at night and night, is this a deliberate arrangement waiting for people to come in.
Cangli looked around on the roof, and found the location of a treasure pavilion, even the three big characters of "Treasure Pavilion" were so obvious, isn't it clearly making a show, Cangli's curiosity increased again, and slipped into the treasure pavilion from the roof along the pillar "Slippery", but he didn't expect that as soon as his feet hit the ground, a sword had been put on his neck.
"Turn around." The man with the sword scolded.
This was completely unexpected, he turned around slowly, and also wanted to see who the person with the sword was, the moment the two faced each other, the most surprised was Cangli, the person holding the sword in front of him was the prince of Ning Wangfu, at this moment the door had already been surrounded by heavy soldiers, and the prince seemed to have expected that someone would come to the treasure pavilion to steal.
In fact, the jade has been lost half a month ago, and the prince secretly sent a big person to investigate for half a month and still found nothing, so he had to declare that the jade would be turned into a sacrifice, and it was expected that the thief who stole would definitely come back after hearing the news, and sure enough, one was captured tonight.
"Where's the jade? Hand it over. The prince asked, the sword was still on Cangli's neck, and at the same time, the doors and windows suddenly opened, and outside were soldiers with weapons stacked on top of each other, a posture that made it difficult for thieves to fly even if they had wings.
Cangli instantly understood that he was the one who came to take the blame, so that the palace could not only declare to the outside world that the jade had been lost, but he became the number one suspect, so the jade was also saved, and the real murderer was also caught, which was really a double win.
"Dare to do it? Even if you don't have this backbone, you dare to be a thief. In the face of Cangli's silence, the prince asked again.
"Why admit what you haven't done yet?"
"Someone! He was tied up and tortured until he told him the whereabouts of the jade. ”
In this way, Cangli was locked up with a triple iron chain and was escorted into the dungeon, but the dungeon of the palace could not trap Cangli, he just wondered that the prince had expected that there would be thieves and ambushed heavy soldiers, although there were many valuable treasures in the treasure pavilion, so much effort was it true that the jade was really lost?
Just when Cangli carefully analyzed all the clues, the people of the palace came in and prepared to torture him to extract a confession, and before hanging Cangli up, they searched his body, and the letter from the employer was also exposed, which became the best evidence, and the person who wanted to be executed immediately rushed over and showed it to the prince.
