CHAPTER XXXIV

Cheng Jiujiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his eyelids, and Yan Ting's broad shoulders came into view. She raised a hand with some effort and rubbed her sleepy eyes, Yan Ting felt Cheng Jiujiu's movements, and asked, "Are you awake." ”

Cheng Jiujiu answered, and she realized that she was lying on a wooden cart, and Yan Ting was sitting in front of her and gently driving the carriage.

Cheng Jiujiu looked around, suddenly lowered his head and rummaged for something, Yan Ting's head didn't reply, and said, "The pear blossom is pressed under you, and the wine gourd is tied behind you, and it has been filled with wine." ”

Cheng Jiujiu hurriedly stretched out his hand and leaned behind him, and sure enough, he got the wine gourd, unscrewed the stopper, and poured two sips, then moved his body and took out the pear blossom.

"What about others?"

Yan Ting paused, and said lightly: "He's gone." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was silent, and suddenly scolded loudly: "You just let him go?" Do you want to keep him and continue to harm you? ”

Yan Ting said: "He woke up earlier than you and me, and he was no longer there when I woke up." ”

Cheng Jiujiu sighed softly and asked again, "What happened during the time I passed out?" ”

Yan Ting said: "When I woke up, I saw Dugu Xiaorong, who sent you and me to the inn. ”

Chengjiu couldn't help but be surprised: "Dugu Nineteen? How did she meet us? What did she say to you? ”

Yan Ting said: "The Dugu family has decided that Dugu Mingyue will succeed the head of the family, she originally wanted to find Dugu Xiaoying, but after knowing that the pear blossom is in your hands, she decided to go home." ”

Even if Cheng Jiujiu was stupid, he could guess Dugu Xiaorong's intentions at this moment, let out a sneer, and sighed: "I really don't understand the secret fight in these famous families, but if she wants to use me as a pawn, I don't mind cutting off her chess hand first." ”

Yan Ting replied and didn't say anything more, just sped up the speed of the carriage, they had already wasted a lot of time.

Cheng Jiujiu leaned on Yan Ting's back, rubbed his temples, and asked, "How is that guy Hai Yichuan?" What about the Mu Jinghong people? ”

Yan Ting said: "Hai Yichuan only has one breath left, I asked Mu Jinghong to take him to Yanyun and find the Miaoshou Renxin Sect for medical treatment." ”

"How long have they been there?"

"It's been two days."

Cheng Jiujiu whistled and said with a smile: "At his speed, it must have arrived, where are we?" ”

Yan Ting said: "It won't be long before you reach Luoyang." ”

Chengjiujiu turned around and looked into the distance, the gate of Luoyang Chengguan really stood at the end of the road, and she smiled: "When we get to Luoyang, we will go to Baihualou first, I want to see Sister Xiaoying first." ”

Yan Ting nodded and said with a smile: "I'll send you there first." ”

Cheng Jiujiu leaned behind him again, and was about to squint for a while, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong and asked, "You're not going?" Where are you going? ”

Yan Ting said: "Iron King's Mansion." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "Then let's go to the Iron King's Mansion first, and then go to the Baihua Tower." ”

This sentence was said resolutely, and it was not allowed to be refuted strictly, and after Cheng Jiujiu finished speaking, he poured the wine in the gourd into his mouth, gently unsheathed the pear blossom, and sprayed it on the blade of the sword in one gulp, shining silver.

"I have to apologize to Sister Xiaoying, I really can't keep the agreement with her."

Yan Ting smiled: "That madman is not a person who was tortured, and you just happened to give him relief." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said calmly: "I didn't plan to treat that madman as a human being, I will participate in what you want to do next, and it won't work if you don't kill people." ”

Not long after, the two of them drove into Luoyang City in a carriage, and Cheng Jiujiu looked at the passers-by, and whispered to Yan Ting: "It seems that there are often people from Tianlu Mansion recently, and I have seen a few in the outer city of Qizhou a few days ago. ”

Tianlu Mansion has always been very secretive, but now it is very unusual to see them swaggering on the streets.

"I'm a wanted prisoner in Tianlu Mansion, but they don't seem to be for me."

"There should be some terrible character coming."

Yan Ting thought about it, this explanation was the most likely, but he couldn't think of anyone coming for a while.

When I came to the gate of the Iron King's Mansion, the door was still closed at this moment, the same as when Yan Ting was a few days ago, the difference was that the people around Yan Ting at this moment were no longer the steady Oriental Shenwei, but the somewhat impetuous Chengjiu Wine.

Without waiting for Yan Ting to speak, Cheng Jiujiu jumped out of the carriage, took the pear blossom on his left shoulder, and smiled at Yan Ting: "It's obviously broad daylight, but the door is closed so tightly, it is clear that we are kicked in." ”

At this time, she couldn't see any traces of Zeng Zhong's poison, and her whole body exuded full vitality, Cheng Jiujiu couldn't help Yan Ting's words and directly pulled him down, and walked to the gate of the Iron King's Mansion with a kick, "Bang!" "The sturdy door was kicked open by her,

What greeted the two of them was a nine-foot-tall golden Buddha, this golden Buddha usually sits here like this, the door is open to welcome the gaze of passers-by, but no one dares to hit the idea of this golden Buddha.

In Luoyang City, the authority of the Iron Lord is better than that of the sky.

Cheng Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and asked Yan Ting: "Is this Buddha statue made of gold?" ”

Yan Ting looked at the benevolent face of the Golden Buddha and nodded: "A thousand gold casting, never mixed with a trace of falsehood." ”

Cheng Jiujiu smiled: "When we leave, I will move it away and melt it for wine." ”

The two were looking at the Buddha statue, when a subordinate hurriedly came, first closed the door that was kicked open, and then turned back to salute the two and said: "My lord ordered, please Yan Gongzi and the city girl go to the side hall to drink tea first, and the lord will arrive later." ”

This subordinate is the one who talked to Yan Ting that day, Cheng Jiujiu smiled and said to his subordinates: "Your Iron Master has set up a big score, and he obviously knows that we will come and still closes the door, where is the Iron Lord now?" ”

The servant said respectfully: "The old man is recuperating with an old disease, and I learned that the two of you came to ask us to prepare a good wine and hospitality. ”

Chengjiujiu didn't appreciate it, pointed at his subordinates and scolded: "I'll wait here, let your master come to meet me in person!" ”

The next person's face was embarrassed, and Chengjiu saw that there was no one around, so he walked in and grabbed the next person, and said: "I have a very strange temper, if I sincerely greet me, it is a little restrained, but if I put this kind of dragon gate sedan chair, I want to inch in, so if you don't want to be broken by me, go and call your master to meet me." ”

After that, he took out a few pennies from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of his subordinates, and laughed softly: "I will have this little money left, and please be more nimble with your legs and feet." ”

The subordinate pinched the few cents, laughed dryly, and quickly slipped towards the inner mansion.

Yan Ting watched the man leave, and then said to Chengjiu Wine: "The masters in the Iron King's Mansion are like clouds, you are really a bit reckless in doing this." ”

Cheng Jiujiu smiled: "Then why didn't you stop me just now?" ”

Yan Ting smiled: "Because I want to see if he will really come to greet you in person." ”

The two waited for a while, and dozens of masters suddenly sprang out from the inner mansion, and these masters landed accurately in all directions, surrounding the two of them, and they were all one in ten thousand from the perspective of light skills.

Cheng Jiujiu and Yan Ting stood quietly in place, waiting for these people's movements.

These masters suddenly knelt on the ground, clenched their fists at Chengjiujiu, and shouted: "The prince commands, please go to the inner courtyard!" ”

Cheng Jiujiu sneered, and asked loudly to Yan Ting without any scruples: "What kind of reputation do you say this Iron Lord is doing?" ”

Yan Ting also laughed loudly: "Maybe he can't let go of his old face and wants to force us in." ”

Cheng Jiujiu laughed and smiled at the people kneeling on the ground: "Did you hear that? My friend said you want to force me in, how are you going to force me? ”

The crowd did not reply, and remained on their knees.

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "If I don't go in, will you always kneel here?" ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes! ”

Cheng Jiujiu plucked out his ears and suddenly drew his sword.

"Qiang"

In just an instant, the pear blossom was already in the sheath, and everyone kneeling on the ground had a bloody cut on their chests, but they still didn't move, and they didn't even make a sound.

Cheng Jiujiu pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and shouted angrily: "If I take out the sword again, it will be your head that will fall!" ”

Everyone was not afraid at all, and shouted in unison: "The prince commanded, please go to the inner courtyard!" ”

Cheng Jiujiu sighed, and said helplessly to Yan Ting: "I'm afraid that only by cutting these people down will the Iron Lord be willing to come." ”

Yan Ting pressed Cheng Jiujiu's shoulder and laughed softly: "Fang just asked us to go to the side courtyard and wait, and now he is willing to ask us to enter the inner courtyard, and he has already given in." ”

Cheng Jiu stopped drinking and beckoned to these people: "Get up and take us in." ”

Everyone still knelt and refused to get up, and Cheng Jiujiu looked surprised and asked everyone, "I have agreed, what are you still kneeling for?" ”

One of the leaders said to Cheng Jiujiu: "The master only invites Yan Gongzi to go in." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was furious and was about to have a seizure, but Yan Ting stopped her and said, "You just wait here, I'll go in alone." ”

Cheng Jiujiu refused, and Yan Ting soothed: "With you here, the Iron King will not do anything to me." ”

Cheng Jiujiu thought about it and could only give up, but instructed Yan Ting: "A stick of incense time, if you don't come out, I will break in." ”

Yan Ting smiled: "Good! ’

Yan Ting stepped in, Chengjiujiu sat on the ground, took out the wine gourd and took a sip, and said to everyone: "Don't kneel, talk to me." ”

Before everyone answered, Chengjiujiu handed the wine gourd to the leader and said, "Hey! Do you hear me? Come and drink with me. ”

Still no response.

Cheng Jiujiu pointed at them and scolded: "Seeing that you are all capable people, why are you willing to be a dog for an old man?" Are you wood? ”

There was silence, as if they hadn't heard Cheng Jiujiu speak.

"Okay, you just kneel."

Cheng Jiujiu simply lay on his side on the ground, drank the wine leisurely, and then showed a wicked smile, and said to the leader: "Actually, I lied to my friend, I told him the time of a stick of incense, in fact, I can't wait that long, as long as I finish drinking the wine in my gourd, I will go in, and it will be impossible for you to stop me at that time." ”

Yan Ting naturally couldn't hear this, but he knew the personality of Chengjiujiu, and he knew that a stick of incense was a long time for Chengjiujiu.

The Iron Lord sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, and in front of him was a stone table with two teacups and a pot of freshly brewed tea.

When Yan Ting walked to the courtyard, the Iron King also happened to turn around and looked at Yan Ting calmly.

But his hands trembled, like fear, like anger.

And there is a person sitting next to the Iron Prince, who is Dongfang Shenwei.

Dongfang Shenwei saw Yan Ting, a playful smile appeared on his face, and said, "Lord Tie made a bet with me that the first person you want to see when you return to Luoyang is him." ”

Yan Ting said: "You bet I won't?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded and asked with some curiosity: "I don't know what the reason is, but he won't tell me." ”

The Iron Prince's whole body shrunk in a wide tiger skin jacket, and at this moment, he gave Yan Ting an extremely ugly smile: "I can say it now, but it's better to let you ask first." ”

Yan Ting blinked his eyes and asked, "Do you know that Dongfang Shenwei's golden sword was placed here with you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Shen was startled, and looked at the Iron Lord with wide eyes, and the Iron Lord nodded calmly: "I know." ”

Yan Ting asked, "When did you know?" ”

The Iron King smiled: "From the moment he threw the knife, I knew that the golden knife would definitely be placed here for me. ”

This was something Yan Ting didn't expect, and he didn't expect him to be so frank and superficial about his position.

Dongfang Shenwei's body trembled a little, although he had endured his murderous aura, Yan Ting still felt that the air around him had become a little thinner, as if a sharp knife was lying across his throat.

Iron Prince's body curled up tighter, and he smiled at Dongfang Shenwei beside him: "I know that I will die today, I know that Yan Ting can return to Luoyang alive, but can you let him finish asking?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't kill you soon, I also have questions for you." ”

The Iron Lord nodded stiffly, he had been friends with Dongfang Shenwei for decades, and he had too many secrets. No matter how reasonable it is, Dongfang Shenwei will not leave to kill him.

Yan Ting walked up to his side and asked, "That golden knife is still in the Iron King's Mansion?" ”

The Iron Lord shook his head, and Yan Ting asked, "Who did you give the golden knife to?" ”

The Iron King said: "Just a few days ago, when I was paying tribute to the Dugu Sword Saint, I handed it over to Dugu Mingyue. ”

Yan Ting sighed and looked at Dongfang Shenwei, Dongfang Shenwei was also stunned, he walked with the Iron Prince, but he didn't realize that his lost golden knife was carried by him, but he and Yan Ting were a little puzzled at the same time, why did Dugu Mingyue accept his golden knife?

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, the Iron Lord sneered: "I am already a dying person, I might as well tell you everything, as early as decades ago, Dugu Ruoxiong and I were already in the blood shadow, and Dugu Ruoxiong died in the hands of Chengjiujiu, and I also knew that Dugu Ruoxiong died in the hands of Chengjiujiu, because he told me that he wanted the Dugu family to get rid of the control of the blood shadow." ”
