Chapter 109: Back to Beijing
When Su Yu returned to the inn room where he was staying again, it was already half an hour later.
He gave Guo Yuantao a good time, and found a place on high ground to bury his body, and then hurried back in the direction of Anyuan County.
"Is this the Heavenly Dao Jade?"
Back at the inn, Su Yu had the heart to check the jade pendant in his hand.
Under the light of the candle flame, this jade pendant took on a dark golden amber color, and it was densely covered with dense and obscure runes, which made people feel dizzy just by looking at it.
The jade pendant is triangular, with extremely sharp incisions on both sides, and even some cuts, and the lower position is rounded and arc-shaped.
From this piece of jade pendant, it can be seen that this should be a broken jade pendant, like one of the pieces in a disc.
"According to that legend, there were a total of nine pieces of Heavenly Dao Jade, which used to be a whole, and finally under the great battle of the nine Martial Emperors, it was divided into nine."
"I really didn't expect that in just two months, I have already dealt with two pieces of Heavenly Dao Jade."
Su Yu sighed in his heart.
The Heavenly Dao Jade that I encountered at Chu Xuan last time was able to freeze a person's body out of thin air.
And this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade is a clone that allows the owner to conjure up two clones with the same cultivation.
Only something like Heavenly Dao Jade can have such a power to subvert common sense.
"I really didn't expect that I really had a piece of Heavenly Dao Jade of my own."
"With this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade, my strength for self-protection has been greatly enhanced."
"It can even be said that in the Copper Skin Realm, I am almost an invincible existence, in the case of catching and fighting, three to one, if I can still be counter-killed, then I can directly wipe my neck with this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade."
"Of course, if the other party also has Heavenly Dao Jade in his hand, it will be difficult to say."
"I just don't know, what unpredictable power will the other seven pieces of Heavenly Dao Jade have?"
Su Yu has this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade that can transform into a clone, and Guo Yuantao has this Heavenly Dao Jade, which is simply a world of difference.
Guo Yuantao has no way to cultivate martial arts because his limbs are broken, and his comprehensive strength is not strong, so he can only rely on the realm to suppress the opponent, once he encounters an enemy in the same realm, there is almost no hope of winning.
Su Yu is different, he has two ancient martial arts, and he has the ability of immortality, so the buffs are almost full.
If it is said that before coming to Anyuan County, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan can hang him up and beat him.
So when he thought of it, he would add two bronze realm martial artists to Lin Canglan and Lu Ze, and they might not be his opponents.
"With this piece of Heavenly Dao Jade, I must not leak any news, this is the biggest hole card on my body, and I can't afford to lose."
"Especially Lu Ze and Lin Canglan have personally experienced this matter, they must be very familiar with it, they will not think of the Heavenly Dao Jade, but if I expose the slightest bit of the ability of this Heavenly Dao Jade, the two of them will definitely be suspicious."
"There are only so many people involved in this case, and when the time comes, after layers of investigation, I will inevitably be suspicious."
"Of course, in their eyes, Guo Yuantao is still alive in this world, and he is at large with this doppelganger secret technique."
"But before I have the strength to protect myself, I won't expose my hole cards, otherwise I'm looking for death."
Su Yu secretly made up his mind.
If it is not necessary, he will not easily use the power of this Heavenly Dao Jade to prevent himself from becoming dependent on the power of Heavenly Dao Jade.
This trip to Anyuan County, although it was a tortuous trip, everything was worth it, and he became the biggest winner!
"I just don't know, what will Lu Ze and Lin Canglan's expressions be now?"
After Su Yu put the Heavenly Dao Jade close to his body, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a wicked smile.
planned so much, but in the end Guo Yuantao ran away, it is estimated that the two of them are very aggrieved at this moment.
"Knock Knock"
Suddenly, there was a knock on Su Yu's door.
Su Yudao: "Who?" ”
He couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart, fortunately he came back in time.
If he is not in the inn for a while in the evening, it will inevitably arouse the suspicions of Lu Ze and Lin Canglan.
"It's me, Chen Beijiang."
Chen Beijiang, who was outside the house, said: "He Zhiwei, who is under Lord Lu, came over and said that everyone from our six teams should gather. ”
"Here we are."
Su Yu opened the door and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know."
Chen Beijiang shook his head and said: "According to He Zhiwei, it seems that Guo Yuantao, who was locked up in the iron figurines, is dead again, Lord Lu is furious about this and summons us over, you wait, I'll call my cousin."
Then, Chen Beijiang knocked on Ji Longcheng's door again.
After Ji Longcheng went out, the three of them walked straight out of the inn and followed He Zhiwei all the way to the direction of Guo Yuantao's crime before.
"Lord Lu, according to our previous agreement, even if Guo Yuantao dies, the two of us can get three thousand yuan crystals, and you want to send us away with one thousand yuan crystals now, it's a little unreasonable, right?"
"Hmph, it's already polite to give you two a thousand yuan crystals, I told you a thousand times before, remember to capture him alive, and let him not have any chance to commit suicide."
"How did you do it? Obviously, he has been captured alive, but he has been bled to death, and I have missed my big event, I will give you two 1,000 yuan crystals, which is already worthy of you, if it is too little, believe it or not, I will not give you a single one? ”
"Get out of here immediately after taking Yuanjing!"
"You"
When the two Jianghu warriors heard this, their faces became extremely blue, but they didn't dare to say cruel words.
Because when Lu Ze and Lin Canglan found him, the two sides had a fight, and the two were not Lu Ze and Lin Canglan's opponents at all.
It was true that as Lu Ze said, Guo Yuantao must not be killed, and he must be imprisoned in the iron warriors alive, and three more signal flares will be fired.
But he never expected that Guo Yuantao would bleed to death in the iron figurines.
After the two of them found that Guo Yuantao in the iron figurines had disappeared, they regretted it.
However, after thinking that Lu Ze had said that killing Guo Yuantao and the others could also get 3,000 yuan crystals, the two of them felt a little comforted in their hearts.
But what the two of them waited for, it was true that Lu Ze and Lin Canglan came over with pale faces, and scolded the two of them with their heads and faces.
Because Guo Yuantao recreated the clone and dragged the two, the two lost Guo Yuantao's body.
Such a change is absolutely unacceptable to Lu Ze and Lin Canglan.
Only one step away, the two of them can kill Guo Yuantao's body, and then get the secret of his body.
But because of the mistakes made by these two warriors, all plans came to naught in an instant, and the two of them in anger had the heart to kill.
A little relieved that in Guo Yuantao's residence, the two searched for more than 5,000 crystals, presumably Guo Yuantao didn't have time to take them away, and finally cheapened them.
After deducting the fees that need to be given to the subordinates below, as well as the fees for the two Jianghu warriors, the two of them will probably be able to get more than a thousand Yuan Crystals each.
It's just that compared to everything he has paid for this plan, income and pay are undoubtedly inversely proportional.
When Su Yu and the three of them rushed over, they saw such a scene.
Although the two Jianghu warriors are a little angry, they also understand that the situation is stronger than people, and if they don't take this thousand yuan crystals now, they may change their minds later, and neither of them can get any of them.
Picking up the Yuanjing cloth bag that Lu Ze threw on the ground, the two Jianghu martial artists didn't even count the number, so they turned around and left.
"Lord Lu, Lord Lin."
Su Yu and the three of them stepped forward to say hello.
Looking at the expressions of the two at the moment, Su Yu was secretly happy.
It took so much manpower and material resources, but in the end it was such a result, Lin Canglan and Lu Ze estimated that it was difficult to accept such a result in their hearts.
In their eyes, it may be that Guo Yuantao has already left.
But the real situation is that the things on Guo Yuantao's body have already arrived in my hands
Su Yu tried his best to make his expression look as serious as possible, afraid that the corners of his mouth would gradually curl.
Seeing that all the six squads under their command were coming, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan's faces eased a lot at this time.
Lin Canglan looked around, squeezed out a stiff smile, and said, "Everyone is here." ”
"Guo Yuantao has been killed by me and Lord Lu, and this matter is over."
The seventh-level merit of this task, it is impossible for the two of them to give up.
The most unfortunate result was that Guo Yuantao came out to commit the crime again, and then the merits of the two were taken away by the Zhenwu Division.
But once Guo Yuantao changes his face and commits the crime as another person, then their seventh-level meritorious service is equivalent to being confirmed.
Hearing that Guo Yuantao was killed, everyone's faces were relieved.
The task has been full of twists and turns, but for now, the results seem to be good.
Of course, everyone can't help but start slandering in their hearts.
The faces that Lu Ze and Lin Canglan just gave to those two Jianghu warriors didn't look like they had killed Guo Yuantao.
Won't wait for them to return to Tai'an City, this Guo Yuantao will come out to commit the crime again, right?
But I thought that even if Guo Yuantao committed the crime, it would have nothing to do with them.
The case of this evil sect is finally over, and being able to return to Tai'an City is the thing that everyone is looking forward to the most.
Lu Ze continued: "After my discussion with Lord Lin. ”
"Before the sun rises tomorrow morning, everyone will gather at the door of the Anyuan Inn and return to Tai'an City."
"There is a little bit of Yuan Jing here, it is me and Lord Lin who have prepared a reward for everyone, according to the previous agreement, Gong Kaiwen and the three of them will each get two hundred yuan crystals, and the others can each get one hundred yuan crystals."
When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
When these Yuan Crystals are in their hands, then even if Guo Yuantao commits a crime in the future, Zhen Wusi will take back the exploits of Lu Ze and Lin Canglan, these Yuan Crystals in their hands, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan can't take them back with shame, right?
When the money is in your own hands, it is really in your own hands.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."
“.”
One by one, everyone stepped forward to take a cloth bag containing Yuan Jing, and then retreated respectfully.
"It is estimated that these Yuan Crystals were found from Guo Yuantao's hiding place, right?"
"Well, this trip is not in vain."
Seeing that there was a big bag behind the two of them, which was obviously for himself, Su Yu was full of slander.
"Oh, Su Yu, this bag is yours."
When Su Yu stepped forward, Lu Ze picked up a bag of Yuan Jing and handed it over.
"Thank you, Lord Lu."
Su Yu took the Yuanjing cloth bag handed over, and his heart couldn't help but move.
As for the approximate weight of Yuanjing, he had already been able to make a rough estimate.
If the cloth bag in his hand only has a hundred lower-grade Yuan Crystals, then its weight is not as heavy as it is now.
According to his estimates, the weight of the Yuanjing cloth bag in his hand should be 200 Yuanjing
"It seems that the additional 100 Yuan Crystals given to me are the reward for my previous advice."
Su Yu immediately understood Lu Ze's intentions, but he just met Lu Ze's eyes for a moment, and then walked back to the crowd quietly.
When everyone got their share of the posterior remuneration, Lu Ze instructed: "Okay, it's not early, everyone has worked hard tonight, go back and have a good rest, gather at the Anyuan Inn tomorrow morning, and we will go back to Tai'an City." “
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and then each team left happily.
Looking at the distant backs of everyone, Lin Canglan frowned and said: "According to Huang An's explanation before, he cut off the right hand of Guo Yuantao's clone, but he pointed to the acupuncture points on Guo Yuantao's arm and stopped the bleeding."
Huang An is one of the two Jianghu warriors hired by the two before.
When Lu Ze heard this, he said, "According to your meaning, someone deliberately unlocked the acupuncture point on Guo Yuantao's right arm and deliberately made him bleed to death?" ”
"It's possible."
Lin Canglan nodded and said, "At that time, Guo Yuantao, in order to delay this time, must have also noticed that his doppelganger was on the verge of death. ”
Lu Ze frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "According to He Zhiwei's explanation, before Guo Yuantao was imprisoned in the iron figurines, he was always there, and even they put Guo Yuantao into the iron figurines, if Guo Yuantao's right hand began to bleed again at this time, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone present." ”
"It can be seen that Guo Yuantao may have managed to break through the acupuncture tunnel after being imprisoned in the iron figurines, so that the doppelganger would die faster due to bleeding."
When Lin Canglan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Alas, it's really a thousand calculations, I didn't calculate that those two guys would cut off Guo Yuantao's arm, so that Guo Yuantao would have the opportunity to die due to excessive blood loss." ”
"Even if we give us a little more time, we can kill Guo Yuantao on the spot."
The two of them recalled the past and scenes at that time, and almost their intestines were about to be repented.
Guo Yuantao controlled the clone to put the knife in front of the neck of the body, and let the two of them throw the mouse trap, because they wanted to obtain the secret method of creating the clone, so they did not take extreme measures.
Now that I think about it, it was like shooting myself in the foot.
If he could, he should have killed Guo Yuantao's body on the spot with thunderbolt at that time, and then searched his body.
Even if he didn't have a chance to get the secret method that could create a clone, he wouldn't have any chance to escape the pursuit of the two.
Now it's okay, because of a moment of carelessness, Guo Yuantao successfully escaped and didn't know where to go.
The two undoubtedly set up an enemy who had been dormant in the shadows because of this.
In particular, this enemy is growing extremely fast, and maybe one day it will appear in Tai'an City, which is not good for the two of them and their families
"It's too late to say anything."
Lu Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued: "But in a short period of time, he shouldn't dare to come to trouble you and me." ”
"You and I know his means of creating doppelgangers, if you and I die, we will inevitably make public the way he can create doppelgangers and how to deal with him, and then he will become the target of public criticism, and it will not be so easy to use the doppelganger to cover people's eyes and ears."
"From the fact that he deliberately used the death of a doppelganger to deceive everyone, it can be seen that this guy is not stupid, and he can even be said to be extremely smart, he will not fail to think of these pros and cons."
"He also understands that as long as we live, we will be very interested in the secrets in his hands, and will not make this public."
"But once we die, it won't make him feel better."
"For this reason, he should change his surname again, and we can also report to Zhenwu Si that Guo Yuantao has been successfully killed, and each of them has obtained a seventh-level meritorious service, this trip is not in vain."
Having said that, Lu Ze's heart was dripping blood.
This trip was well prepared, but in the end, it was such a result, a seventh-level meritorious service, and more than a thousand Yuan Crystals, he could never accept it.
What if you just can't accept it?
Guo Yuantao has already escaped, just like letting the tiger return to the mountain, and trying to find him out again, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Especially when Guo Yuantao experiences such a crisis, he must be more cautious and cautious in the future, and it will be too difficult to find him again.
Lin Canglan nodded and sighed lightly: "It can only be like this for now. ”
"Let's go, go back to rest, and go back to Tai'an City early tomorrow."
Following.
When the sun went down, the group finally rushed back to Tai'an City.
Looking at the familiar city wall, everyone's faces were filled with a sense of intimacy that had not been seen for a long time.
After everyone followed and returned the seconded horse, Ji Longcheng smiled and said, "Everyone, now that you have returned to your own land, you have made a lot of money, and you can't go to the Teaching Workshop Division tonight to relax?" ”
When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths were pulled.
Except for Chen Beijiang's eyes lit up and actively responded, everyone else shook their heads.
The time of this day is in a hurry, and the bones are about to be torn apart by the horse, how can you still have the heart to go to the Fengyue place?
At the moment, I just want to go home and sleep well, and I can't come back from the night when I didn't have a good rest in Anyuan County.
Su Yu smiled and shirked: "Brother Ji, Brother Chen, I still have something to do, so I won't go." ”
He had just come back and had his own things to do.
Bidding farewell to everyone, Su Yu bought some food and wine on the street, and walked straight in the direction of his house.
As soon as he walked to his door, Su Yu saw two people lingering at the door of his house.
When they saw Su Yu, their eyes lit up, and then they greeted them.
At this time, Su Yu saw the person who came clearly, and it was Xiaoya and her maid who had bought poems from him.
Xiao Ya was wearing a complicated costume painted with hundreds of birds, covering her slender figure.
She wears a hat with a white veil, making it impossible to get a detailed look inside it.
Seeing Su Yu, Xiao Ya was angry, and said lightly: "You are finally willing to come back." ”
Since she earned five hundred yuan crystals, she rushed here as soon as possible, wanting to redeem the jade pendant she had mortgaged here in Su Yu.
But for several days, he didn't even see Su Yu's figure.
She went to Kong Yangming's house again, and the news she got was that Su Yu had not gone over to learn ancient characters for several days.
"It's you."
Su Yu smiled: "What? What's the matter with me? ”
"Xiangxiang."
Xiao Ya commanded, and the maid Xiangxiang immediately took out a cloth bag containing Yuan Jing and handed it to Su Yu.
Xiangxiang said: "Well, this is five hundred yuan crystals, take out my young lady's jade pendant." ”
Su Yu's face couldn't help but be a little surprised, in just half a month, he made so much money?
"You wait."
Su Yu took the Yuanjing cloth bag and walked straight home, and after a while, he walked out with the jade pendant that Xiaoya had mortgaged here.
"Here you go."
Xiao Ya took the jade pendant and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, she has to come to Su Yu's house every day, and she is afraid that he will have some accident when he goes out, causing her jade pendant to also disappear.
"Alright, our deal is completely done, farewell."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he went straight to his house.
Looking at Su Yu's back as he was about to walk away, Xiao Ya's pretty face under the veil couldn't help but be a little stunned, isn't this guy even curious about himself at all?
Or is this guy just coming back from out of town and doesn't know who he is now?
"You wait!"
Xiaoya hurriedly stopped him.
"Huh?"
Su Yu paused and wondered: "Is there anything else?" I haven't eaten dinner yet. ”
"I have one more question for you." Xiao Yadao.
"Oh?"
Su Yu was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
"Is that poem written by you or by Kong Yangming?"
Xiaoya asked the doubts she had been thinking about for many days.
The song that gave Mei Ji, since it was adapted into a song, has made her firmly sit on the throne of Tai'an's first Oiran.
She also went to Kong Yangming's house to knock on the side and ask if it was Kong Yangming's doing, but he denied it.
Because of this gift, the other three Oirans of the Teaching Department are now eager to live in Kong Yangming's house, pestering Kong Yangming every day, hoping that he can once again write and make a good song that can be roughly the same as that of Mei Ji.
It's a pity that every time Kong Yangming blasts all the visitors out of the door with a blue face.
The three Oiran asked Kong Yangming's friend to intercede.
In the end, Kong Yangming closed the door directly and never saw any other guests.
This also made Xiaoya wonder, if her song was written by Kong Yangming, then Kong Yangming should not give up such a good opportunity, and should take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
But on the contrary, Kong Yangming not only said that this poem was not written by himself, but even drove out all the people who came to ask for poetry.
When Su Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he said with a smile: "This poem was written by me, and it was written by Kong Lao, is there any difference?" ”
"Isn't it important that this poem has already made you popular?"
Su Yu was not surprised that this poem could make Mei Ji popular.
But he's just doing it for money, and if other Oiran were to be touched by him, he'd still do it.
"But."
Xiao Ya's eyes under the veil looked a little complicated: "I still want to know whether this poem is written by you or by Kong Lao, and this answer is very important to me." ”
She didn't expect that Su Yu would be so indifferent to this poem that praised herself as the first Oiran in Tai'an.
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "You should think that I did it." ”
It turned out to be really him
Looking at Su Yu's distant back, Xiao Ya's heart lake rippled, and the pretty face under the veil was stunned.
Before, she had a preconceived idea that this was a poem written by Kong Yangming, and then entrusted Su Yu to sell it to herself.
She never thought that this poem would be written by Su Yu herself.
But now that Su Yu personally admitted that he was the one who made this poem, Xiaoya couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.
She squeezed the jade pendant in her hand tightly, her eyes glowed with a touch of crystalline luster, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
