Chapter Seventy-One: The final disgrace, the thunder and anger in the palace courtyard
I don't know why, since the two of Cao Yanqing fell into the dark passage, there has been no movement.
The ghost mother stepped forward to watch, listening carefully to everything in the tunnel, but it seemed unusually quiet. This made her have to be on guard. In order to ensure the period, the ghost mother actually pushed Lu Hum beside her down.
Even if Lu Hum has ten thousand unhappiness in his heart, what can he do!
Lu Hum got up and looked around, but it was pitch black. In order to find a way, Lu Hum took out a fire fold from his arms.
He unscrewed the lid with his mouth.
"Poof—"
With a strong blow, the spark soon lit up the entire tunnel.
The surrounding stone walls were actually carved with iron hammers. Obviously, Cao Yanqing implemented this plan very early. I just didn't expect things to come so quickly.
"Our Lady! They're not here, you can come down! Lu Hum secretly raised the fire fold to carefully inspect the surrounding secret passages that were not to be found, and shouted to the ghost mother at the secret passage on his head.
Through the dim luster, the ghost mother saw that the four walls of the tunnel were empty. She suddenly felt that there must be something in this secret path, so she jumped down and made peace with it. The two of them followed the dark passage all the way, and finally found a relatively open stone house.
The house was filled with rare treasures and several wooden boxes with seals. Yes, these sealed wooden boxes were the same boxes that disappeared that night.
"Cao Yanqing! Cao Yanqing! I didn't expect you to hide it quite deeply! The ghost mother grabbed a string of pearl jadeite in front of her, and under the reflection of the firelight, it sparkled and exuded a colorful scene.
On the other side, Cao Yanqing was chased into the woods by the man in black and cloak.
At this time, Cao Yanqing looked a little embarrassed, but it is conceivable that the two of them experienced an extremely bad battle.
Looking at the deep paw prints left on the tree, Cao Yanqing was afraid and couldn't help but tremble! However, the man in the black cloak didn't want to give him a breather.
Flying forward, he grabbed his wrist and locked his arm, and threw it directly backwards with force, hitting the tree hard.
The few leaves on the treetops were also shot down and slowly landed on Cao Yanqing's shoulders.
Cao Yanqing has seen such an evil martial arts for the first time in his life, but looking at the number of ways in this posture, it is somewhat similar to the number of martial arts of the ghost mother.
"Boy! Who are you? Why has we never seen this martial arts path? Cao Yanqing staggered up, brushed the white hair hanging from his forehead, took off the leaf on his shoulder, and looked at the mysterious back in front of him.
The man in the black cloak did not rush to answer, but under Cao Yanqing's gaze, he slowly turned around, and a bright red face was revealed in front of him. The person I saw walked slowly towards Cao Yanqing.
Cao Yanqing felt that his martial arts were not good, obviously the martial arts of the person in front of him were even better than him, and he didn't want to sit still. Steady the timing and strike first. With all his might, he volleyed towards the black-cloaked man in front of him.
The man in the black cloak saw the situation, but he was as steady as a rock. It seemed that Cao Yanqing's every move was expected by him, and he easily dodged it.
"Who the hell is this kid! Why can't our family's martial arts hurt him? Cao Yanqing was obviously shocked by this sudden blow. He was about to leave, but how could the person in front of him let him escape easily.
Cao Yanqing, who jumped up, only to feel a piercing pain in his ankle. Immediately afterwards, the whole body was pulled down by the strong force. Cao Yanqing shot back, but was grabbed by the black-cloaked man with his wrist, turned his hand outward, and pulled it outward with the force in his hand.
"Ahh
Blood splattered, and Cao Yanqing's hands were forcibly pulled off by the man in black cloak.
Cao Yanqing turned around and wanted to escape, but the man in black cloak covered the top of his head with one hand, and the slender nails actually pierced deep into Cao Yanqing's skull, and blood flowed from Cao Yanqing's hair immediately.
"I said it! How you hurt me in the first place, I will make you pay back double! It's time for you to come back! The man in the black cloak took off the blood-red mask with one hand, which immediately made Cao Yanqing's eyes widen.
"It's—it's you!" Cao Yanqing's eyes widened, looking at the person in front of him who he had been humiliated. I never imagined that one day, I would die at the hands of this inconspicuous hairy boy.
"You should be blind, too! When you are dying, let you taste the power of this "Bloodthirsty Divine Skill"! The man in the black cloak pressed hard, and Cao Yanqing's body weakened and he knelt on his knees. At the same time, the clothes on his body suddenly exploded and flew in all directions.
"You turned out to be—" Before Cao Yanqing finished speaking, he fell backwards with a hint of unwillingness.
Seeing this, the man in the black cloak continued to put on the mask, glanced in the direction of the two ghost mothers behind him, and then dodged away.
When the ghost mother heard this, they saw blood splashing everywhere on the ground, and two stump arms appeared in front of them. And there was a corpse lying not far from the woods, it was that Cao Yanqing. His eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be a little dead. This made the two people present stunned.
"Good boy! Harder than me! It seems that I really didn't misunderstand you. The ghost mother didn't say it, but she knew it better than anyone else in her heart.
"Our Lady! This—who is this who has such terrible martial arts to kill him? Lu Hum looked at the ghost mother beside him with palpitations.
"Go back and tell your master, and say that this thief colluded with the Japanese to make trouble, and you took the lead in cutting off his arms. You cost yourself a lot, but fortunately, you didn't have to worry about your life and survived. As for the ten boxes that disappeared—" The ghost mother said, looking at Lu Hum beside her with one look.
"Those ten boxes have long been transferred by the Japanese people, and they have disappeared without a trace!" Lu Hum continued with the words of the ghost mother.
"Not bad! You tell your master about it. He will definitely not doubt you, and not only that, but he will reward you, you remember! The ghost mother stroked her hair with one hand and said thoughtfully.
"The little one must report to the master according to the words of the Virgin!"
"Good!" The ghost mother turned to look at Lu Hum and continued: "Except for those ten boxes, the rest will be left to you to pay to your master!" ”
"Little obedience!"
Inside the Royal Palace, the Imperial Garden.
The man wore a black crown on his head and a purple-black robe. Holding scissors, he repaired the flower tree in front of him.
"Master! He's back! A father-in-law stepped forward and stood beside him and said.
"Huh?" The man stopped what he was doing, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh! Let him wait in the imperial study first, and then go when we're done! ”
"Slaves obey!" The father-in-law bowed and withdrew.
And Lu Hu, who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, looked around, but still didn't see the master coming. didn't expect his every move to be seen clearly by his master.
Soon, a figure walked in from behind the curtain.
"Master!" Lu Hum saw that it was his master who was coming, and immediately pressed his head to the ground, not daring to raise half a point.
The man's eyes seemed to be suspicious, looking down at Lu Hu, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up, he didn't even look at the road under his feet, and walked forward. With a suspicious tone, he asked him, "Lu Huh! How's it going to be with what we've told you? ”
"Back to the master's words! His subordinates discovered his secret den. That Cao Yanqing actually colluded with the Japanese bandits behind his master's back, committed chaos, and was killed by his subordinates! As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch his lost arm, and continued: "It's a pity that those ten boxes have already been secretly transferred by those bandits, and the subordinates have only found those jewels that have not been shipped away in time!" ”
The man squatted down with a little regret, patted Lu Hum who had lost his arm, exhaled turbidity, and said, "I really didn't expect it!" This king eight lambs! They hid it from me and these widows to seize my Ming foundation! We're going to have to pluck his skin! Let these chaotic parties in the world take a good look at what will happen to those who betray us! ”
"We're blind! He is regarded as our confidant! This unassuming dog minion! He got up, kicked away the chair next to him, pointed outside, and said to Lu Hu: "Go!" I took his skin, pretended to be grass, and hung it outside the gate of the palace, so that all the ministers could take a good look! ”
At this time, Lu Hum was so frightened by the thunderous roar of this master that he didn't dare to breathe, and his whole body trembled.
"Did you hear what we said?" The man saw that Lu Hum didn't answer for a long time, turned around to take a closer look, but saw that Lu Hu's legs were already weak, and his whole body was shaking up and down. The master immediately noticed the abnormality, with a cold light, he looked at Lu Hum with a smile, and said, "We just let you pluck his skin, and it scared you like this?" ”
"Slave - slave is just a stake in pain, so he shakes non-stop." Lu Hum was almost intimidated by his own lies.
Seeing Lu Hum like this, this master also put his mind at ease and called the imperial doctor to treat him. Without saying anything more, he let him retreat. He also summoned a guard and instructed him: "You go to the border pass quickly, pass the dragon battle back to Beijing, and say that we have something to discuss with him." ”
"Subordinates obey!" The guards got up and snatched the door.
The master paced back and forth, carefully thinking about what Fang Lu Hum said, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped in place. I saw that his face was solemn, his eyes were cold, his cheeks were like bulges, he looked at the place where Lu Hum was kneeling, and then carefully thought about Lu Hu's performance, and suddenly his eyes showed murderous intent.
"Bang ——!" When he saw the teacup on the table, he smashed it to pieces in a fit of rage, and said angrily: "Corrupt official! There are definitely corrupt officials here! ”
"Someone!"
"What does the master command?" One of the guards came forward and knelt down and bowed.
"Call Yang Fan!"
"Yes!"
In less than a moment, a figure scurried in.
The person who came was a young man in his early twenties, and his face seemed to be gentle, but there was a ruthlessness between his eyebrows.
"Chen Yang Fan meets the master!" Yang Fan knelt in front of him, looked up at the master in front of him, and said, "I don't know what the master called Weichen to come?" ”
"It seems that this Lu Hum can't be used anymore! You keep an eye on him for us, but you can keep an eye on him for us. Before he loses his effect, we hope you can get some useful clues from his mouth! Looking at Yang Fan in front of him, he emphasized: "Let's see how many eyeliners there are in this palace, and pull them all out!" We don't want anything against us! Do you understand? ”
"Wechen understands!" Yang Fan looked at his master and said very firmly: "Please rest assured, master!" Wechen will definitely make good use of this bait and catch all those shrimp soldiers and crabs! ”
"Hmmm! When you succeed, we will reward you well! ”
"Thank you, master! Wechen must live up to the trust! ”
"Go ahead!"
"Wechen retires!"
Looking at the departing Yang Fan, the corners of the master's mouth were slightly Yang, revealing a satisfied smile.
[Test question: 1, Who will be the person Cao Yanqing saw before he died?
2, why didn't the ghost mother let Lu Hum take away the ten boxes? But let him bring back the jewels to his life? What is the purpose? 】
