Chapter 392, Night Exploration of Zhou Wangfu
The evil ghost was eliminated, the Tong family was overjoyed, and they were even more grateful to Xiahou Ling, Tong Shihe took out another three hundred taels of silver as a thank you, but Xiahou Lingyu only received one hundred taels of silver as a reward according to the previous agreement with him.
Xiahou Lingyu insisted on leaving the Tong family despite the hard work of the Tong family, and Tong Shihe wanted to send a horse to her, but she didn't want it. Tong Shihe had no choice but to discuss it with his family, and decided to set up a shrine for Xiahou Lingyu, and he had to offer this fairy girl.
Tong Shihe took someone to visit Sun Zhukuai, who was "sucked out of his soul", burned the rune paper given by Xiahou Lingyu, and gave him the antidote, and sure enough, Sun Zhukuai quickly "returned to his soul". Seeing this, Tong Shihe admired Xiahou Lingyu even more, and said that Xiahou Lingyu, a disciple of Tongtianguan Wuxuan Zhenren, got rid of the evil ghosts in the family, and for a while, Xiahou Lingyu's name was well-known in Chengde County.
There are still many people who ran to Tong's house when they heard the news, wanting to see Xiahou Xiangu's beautiful face, but they were told that Xiahou Girl had left, these people were stunned, and some people wanted to find Xiahou Lingyu to go to subdue demons and subdue demons, but they didn't return.
Xiahou Lingyu earned the first large amount of silver in his life, and he was full of joy. All the way back to Chengde County happily, and then came to the tattered horse market, Xiahou Lingyu saw the tall and thin horse dealer, and handed him five taels of silver as a reward for providing him with information.
When the horse dealer heard that the little girl had caught the evil spirits of Tong Shi and his family, he was so surprised that he refused to ask for the five taels of silver. Xiahou Lingyu directly put the silver on the ground and said loudly: "Maybe there will be a chance for you to introduce business to me in the future, right? If you didn't introduce business to me, I wouldn't be able to earn this hundred taels of silver, and I'm not greedy, this is the information fee you deserve!"
When the sturdy horse dealer next to him heard the astonishing news, he jumped up at once, and said with a smile on his face: "Girl, I originally asked you for seventy taels of silver for this horse, but now I will sell it to you for sixty taels of silver!
Xiahou Lingyu didn't know how to bargain, but the dealer lowered ten taels of silver by herself, she was still very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay! Then thank you!" happily took out sixty taels of silver and bought this jujube red inferior horse, the dealer even gave her a set of saddle whips or something, Xiahou Lingyu turned over the horse, said thank you, patted the horse away, and left the two horse dealers there to envy.
After buying the horse, Xiahou Lingyu still had thirty-seven taels of silver left on his body, and now it was not only silver money, but also a mount, Xiahou Lingyu was very happy, thinking that since it was so easy to make money, why didn't the master make money by subduing demons and catching monsters?
Hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, walked on the road for three days in a blink of an eye, half was in a hurry, half was a tour of the mountains and rivers, but it was safe and sound, and on the evening of the fourth day, he came to Caoyang County, which was the territory of King Yin Ao of Zhou. Xiahou Lingyu has lived in the mountains for a long time, and has no concept of what King Zhou, King Wei, and King Pingxi are, and he doesn't know which one is a good person and which one is a bad person, anyway, the master asked her to save Tang Jiusheng, then Tang Jiusheng is not a bad person.
Xiahou Lingyu stayed at the Tongyuan Inn next to the south gate of Caoyang County, which was a large courtyard house. Xiahou Lingyu lives in the medium room of the right wing, a hundred yuan a night, the environment is okay, less than the above, more than the bottom. Xiao Er came to take away the jujube red horse and sent it to the stable, and added grass, Xiahou Lingyu didn't have to worry about these things, just eat and sleep.
That night, in the middle of the night, Xiahou Lingyu, who was lying in his clothes, suddenly heard a sound on the roof, and listened carefully, and sure enough, someone in the room accidentally stepped on the sound of tiles, Xiahou Lingyu pretended not to know, and secretly guarded. After a while, the window paper was pierced, and a thin pipe came through the window, and someone cast incense, which was obviously the usual method of nocturnal thieves.
Xiahou Lingyu had long heard of this kind of method of releasing incense in the rivers and lakes, and immediately blocked his nose and ears with an antidote, coughed deliberately, and pretended to be poisoned.
The man in black who put the poison on the roof was overjoyed, and quickly jumped down, gently pried open the window with a dagger, and dodged into the house, shining a light with a fire fold, and touched the head of the bed. Xiahou Lingyu first entered the rivers and lakes, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he was also bold, he jumped up from the bed after grabbing the Biyun sword, and shouted, "Where is the lewd thief!"
The man in black was thinking that he had a plan, but he didn't expect that the people in the house were ready, and they were waiting for him to come to the net! In the darkness, there was only a cold light, and the people in black knew that something was wrong, and it must be a weapon. Where is Xiahou Lingyu willing to put it, and he is chasing after him closely. The two of them walked out of the Tongyuan Inn one after the other, and the man in black turned around while fleeing and saw Xiahou Ling
Yu chased after him, worried in his heart.
Xiahou Lingyu was not familiar with the terrain, so he just chased after the man in black. The man in black went around, and went around to the backyard wall of King Zhou's mansion, the courtyard wall was two zhang high, and the man in black did not work lightly, so he took out the flying claw from the treasure bag behind him, threw it at the wall, snapped and grabbed the wall, and with the help of the flying claw, he wanted to pick up the wall. Xiahou Lingyu chased after him from afar, his hand was sick, and the Biyun Sword came out of his hand, cutting off the top of the flying claw.
The man in black climbed up, climbed halfway, and turned around to laugh at Xiahou Lingyu, "Come on, you fly up!" Thinking that the rope of the flying claw was cut by someone with a sword, he fell from the wall with a pop, and fell down from the wall with a puff, and he fell hard, covering his ass and screaming, struggling to get up and wanting to run.
Xiahou Lingyu picked up the Biyun Sword from the ground, forced the other party with the sword, and asked loudly: "Who are you? How dare you come to my guest room in the middle of the night to cast incense?" As he spoke, he ripped off the other party's skin, looked at it through the moonlight, and couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that the man in black was Chen Chongling, a disciple of the old devil with dry bones, who pretended to be the king of the mountain and robbed Xiahou Lingyu a few days ago. Xiahou Lingyu said with a smile: "It turned out to be the king of the cottage, very good, I will hand you over to the government right away, and see what they do with you!"
Chen Chongling was frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Xiahou Lingyu, I was also bewitched by others to come to you to trouble, don't hand me over to the government!" Xiahou Lingyu was very surprised when he heard him call out his name, and immediately tortured Chen Chongling.
Chen Chongling said in 1510, it turned out that these two goods tracked Xiahou Lingyu all the way to the Tongyuan Inn in Caoyang County, Hong Wuji had a bad idea, he looked at the wind, and asked Chen Chongling to take the incense to charm Xiahou Lingyu, and then carry her out to abolish martial arts, Hong Wuji saw that Xiahou Lingyu was quite beautiful, and just wanted to take Xiahou Lingyu for his own use. Chen Chongling readily agreed, only saying that I wanted the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Grass, and Hong Wuji also agreed.
Who thought that Chen Chongling had just cast the incense and was discovered by Xiahou Lingyu, but as a result, stealing chickens and rice did not make a mistake, but was captured alive by Xiahou Lingyu, Xiahou Lingyu clicked his acupoint, and escorted the depressed Chen Chongling back to the inn. If you want to find Hong Wuji again, this kid has already run away without a trace, not only Hong Wuxian ran away, but even the burden in the inn was stolen, there were more than 30 taels of silver in the bag, and the nine-turn soul returning grass, all of which disappeared!
Xiahou Lingyu was shocked and angry, the master sent her to send Tang Jiusheng the Soul Restoration Grass, but she was intercepted by someone on the way, how could she save Tang Jiusheng? In anger, Xiahou Lingyu slapped Chen Chongling more than a dozen times, causing Chen Chongling's face to swell up, like a pig's head, Xiahou Lingyu shouted angrily: "Chen Chongling, you bastard, where is my Soul Restoration Grass?" Was it taken away by your accomplices?"
Chen Chongling also complained bitterly, now Xiahou Lingyu's package has been stolen, most of it was done by Hong Wuji, who let the wind go, but since this guy has succeeded, he will inevitably choose to escape, how can he wait here to be caught with his hands tied? Chen Chongling's shouting of grievances is endless, but now Xiahou Lingyu has bitten it to death and only asks Chen Chongling for a treasure, who asked you to come here to put the incense? I can't ask for money for the bottle!
The shopkeeper heard that someone's burden was stolen, and hurriedly reported to the official, and two catchers came to the yamen, one surnamed Hong and the other surnamed Yang, and they were going to take Chen Chongling back, Xiahou Lingyu insisted on not letting people go, and asked the two catchers quickly: "My soul revival grass is still missing, you ask him to hand over the soul revival grass, and people will take it away for you!"
The arrester surnamed Hong shouted: "You girl don't know what to do, it's not that we stole your baggage, this thief is here now, you can catch it back to the yamen and torture it slowly, we have a lot of means, I'm not afraid that he won't recruit!"
Xiahou Lingyu turned his face and casually pushed the catcher surnamed Hong to his head, "I don't care what kind of yamen you are, what do you have to do with me? I just need my Nine Turns to Return the Soul Grass! I am in a hurry to use this thing to save the Wei King Tang Jiusheng, what are you talking to me and slowly torture? If you delay the treatment of diseases and save people because of you, can you be responsible?"
When the two catchers heard that the lost thing was related to Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng, their faces were embarrassed, so they had to plead: "Girl, this thief has committed a crime here, we have to take him back and hand him over!
The shopkeeper of the inn Liu came over with a smiling face, "Miss Xiahou, you lost something in our inn, and you yelled in the middle of the night, I had no choice but to report to the official, the people from the official mansion came, you have to cooperate, don't you? This thief has always wanted to catch the government, even if you can't try the stolen goods here, what will the small shop take back to you?"
Xiahou Lingyu became more and more angry, and roared: "Arrest this person and take it to the official mansion, and the thing is not with him, you can't try it out in ten days, I'll wait."
You can't be judged in ten days, and I will wait for you for a year? There are still more than thirty taels of silver in the baggage, and if you can't find anything to give you store money, what will I use to eat?"
The two catchers were annoyed, seeing that it was a girl's house, they didn't pay attention to it, so they came up and started to rob people, Xiahou Lingyu had nowhere to sprinkle his stomach angry, so he started to move with the two catchers, where are the two catchers Xiahou Lingyu's opponents?
Chen Chongling had no choice but to beg: "Xiahou girl, I still have more than fifty taels of silver on me, you can use it first, don't let the government take me away!" Xiahou Lingyu jumped like thunder, what is the use of just having silver?
Xiahou Lingyu kicked Chen Chongling to the ground, drew his sword and was about to kill Chen Chongling, Chen Chongling's frightened soul did not possess his body, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Xiahou girl spares her life, I heard that my Senior Brother Hong and a steward named Liao Zhicheng of Zhou Wangfu are relatives, so I want to escape into Zhou Wangfu, presumably my Senior Brother Hong has already taken the burden and hid in Zhou Wangfu, it is useless for you to kill me!"
The two of them were shouting, and the two catchers had already called dozens of catchers, and Xiahou Lingyu saw that these catchers were really hitting the fire, so he wanted to drag Chen Chongling out of the encirclement.
An old catcher quickly came forward and persuaded: "This Xiahou girl, don't be annoyed, the store has reported the case, then we have to take care of it, you have lost something in this place, we are the ones who eat the bowl of rice that caught the thief, and we will be embarrassed if we can't catch the thief and spread it! Now we will arrest this person and put him in prison, and he will not be able to escape! What are you afraid of?"
Xiahou Lingyu calmed down, thought about it, and nodded in agreement, how could she go to the Zhou Wangfu to retrieve the soul restoration grass with such a burden? So Xiahou Lingyu took more than 30 taels of silver from Chen Chongling, all of which were lost by herself, and then handed Chen Chongling over to the catcher, and after the catchers registered Xiahou Lingyu's lost and found information, they first escorted Chen Chongling away.
Xiahou Lingyu looked up at the sky, it was still early before dawn, and said secretly in his heart: "I have to visit the Zhou Wangfu at night, otherwise the night will be long and the dream will be too much, and this soul grass will be gone!" Thinking of this, he couldn't care about a lot, carrying the Biyun Sword, and went straight to the Zhou Wangfu, not much time, when he came to the outside of the Zhou Wangfu, he saw that the wall was tall, and he couldn't jump up at once, and the burden was not there, and he had no tools, so he had to perform the gecko swimming wall skill that was not very proficient, and slowly climbed up the high wall.
On the wall, through the moonlight to live and take a look, inside is the Yuhua Garden of the Zhou Palace, where does Xiahou Lingyu know this, from the wall gently jumped off the ground, along the root of the wall forward, evaded the patrol of the guards, sneaked to the outside of a side room in Yuhua Garden, saw that the light was on inside, so he went to the window, dipped his fingers in saliva to puncture the window paper, looked inside, only to see three people wearing servant clothes were throwing dice inside to gamble.
Xiahou Lingyu came to the door of the side room, tapped the door lightly, and someone in the room asked impatiently: "Who?
As soon as the man opened the door, he was forced by Xiahou Lingyu with a sword, and he was startled, and Xiahou Lingyu shouted in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, I am a sword!"
The man was scared enough, what kind of person is this person who is so bold as to dare to break into the palace at night with a sword? and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to whisper: "I don't shout, I don't shout, the woman spares her life!" Xiahou Lingyu clicked on his acupoint and escorted him into the house, and the two servants inside were startled when they suddenly saw their companions being escorted in with swords.
Xiahou Lingyu didn't wait for them to speak, stepped forward like lightning, and knocked both of them to the ground with two hand knives. Asked the man: "What is your name? Is there a steward in your palace, and his name is Liao Zhicheng?"
The man said with a waist: "Woman, the little one is called Dong Liu, and the Liao Zhicheng you asked is the second steward of our palace!"
Xiahou Lingyu said: "You take me to see him!"
Dong Liu said with a bitter face: "Woman, at this time period, the second steward has already rested, even if the little one takes you, he won't see Steward Liao!"
Xiahou Lingyu glared, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! Believe it or not, I killed you, take me quickly!" As he spoke, he used the Biyun Sword to cut off a corner of the table in the side room. Dong Liu shrank his neck in fright, and didn't dare to speak anymore, only obediently led the way.
The two of them went out of the side room, Dong Liu led the way in front with a lantern, Xiahou Lingyu took the Biyun Sword and followed closely behind him, before the two of them walked five hundred steps, there were guards in front of them to block the way, and shouted and asked, "Stop! Who are you?"
Dong Liugang wanted to answer, but he heard someone on the other side: "Ouch, this little girl is a first-class master!" Xiahou Lingyu was really surprised when she heard it!
