Chapter 253: News (1st Update)
"Thank you Immortal Master Han for rescuing me from death row, and my ancestor also left a few magic weapons, which were also given to Immortal Master. But Xia Guan also had a reluctant request, he was a death row prisoner in the imperial court, and he didn't dare to continue to stay in Xuanhuang City. I also asked the immortal master to bring my wife and children with me, and also take them out of the city. Xia Guan planned to find a pure place, and he didn't want to step into Xuanhuang City for half a step in this life. Master Ge saw that Han Yu was slightly stunned, so he stepped forward and whispered.
"And the magic weapon? Your request is very reasonable, and I agreed. Han Yu heard a flash of joy in the eyes of the magic weapon, and nodded with a smile.
"By the way, how did you get put on death row? Could it be that you also offended Tianyan?" The gate of Xuanhuang City has not yet opened, and it is impossible to fly in now with a big grin, Han Yu asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, the lower officials are also wronged, this is a trivial matter of dereliction of duty, but after the heavens heard it, a group of wolf-like officials broke into the mansion and put me directly in the prison. Master Ge said with a wry smile.
"Dereliction of duty?" Han Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, this crime is really quite light, and it is really too much to be put on death row.
"Yes, don't think I'm shirking my responsibilities. I am the official in charge of armor forging in the Ministry of War, and His Majesty gave the decree three years ago. In the workshop I am in charge of, 100,000 pieces of armor and blades will be forged, and they will be completed in two years. ”
"The task given this time was too sudden, and I went to Shangguan to report it a few times, but I was all pushed down. I had to go to the people to find a craftsman to forge day and night, and finally completed it within the deadline. But the immortal master sent by the emperor for testing said that my forging was unqualified, so he asked me to be dismissed at home. Master Ge explained a few words, but his face was still full of depression.
Han Yu's expression did not change in the slightest when he heard this, but he had a faint guess in his heart.
"After I was arrested, I was taken to various weapons workshops to parade back and forth, and I was beheaded after the autumn. I also know that His Majesty is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, but who wants to be those chickens that have been killed?" said Master Ge, shaking his head and sighing.
"So you're an outcast. When Han Yu heard this, he showed a contemplative expression.
"Yes, but I deserve to be unlucky. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and low-level officials such as me are like chickens and ducks raised by the royal family, and they have no right to choose for themselves. Master Ge said with a bitter face.
Han Yu listened to it and agreed in his heart, which was also the reason why he was determined to embark on the path of cultivating immortals. What about the envoy in Jian'an City, the city lord can take off his head with a fluttering word.
A red sun rose in the east of this matter, and Han Yu saw that there was already a carriage rushing towards Xuanhuang on the official road, so he said lightly: "Let's go, follow the carriage into the city immediately, I hope your wife and children are safe." ”
"Your Majesty also knows that I am the chicken that was killed, and I should not embarrass my family. If they are all killed, the officials in the city will be chilled. A worried look flashed on Master Ge's face, and he replied.
"Alright, without further ado, let's go back now. But Lord Ge, your prison uniform is too obvious, let's change it!"
Then he patted the storage bag, took out a scholar's costume and threw it out.
After Lord Ge took it, he complained and ran to the stream next to the official road, wanting to wash away the bad smell of this sound, his unkempt and dirty image would be interrogated if he didn't enter the city gate.
Han Yu watched him jump into the stream, and then withdrew his gaze, thinking about the news he had just gotten.
Large-scale refining of armor and blades, is there going to be a big war?
Could it be that the royal family surnamed Ji wants to rule this continent again?
Is this related to the invasion of the righteous demons?
Han Yu looked at the steaming white mist on the woods with some distraction, and fell into deep thought.
"Immortal Master, it's alright!" I don't know how long it took, and a slightly excited voice came from behind him.
His hair had been tidied in a bun, and the smell of rancidity had disappeared, and he had become a Confucian scholar when he put on his clothes.
Han Yu thought about it, but took out a white jade bottle from his arms and threw it to him casually.
"Apply this to your face. Han Yu glanced at it and said.
Master Ge didn't know why, but he obediently smeared the fishy liquid on his face. As soon as the sun broke, his face suddenly turned sallow, and he looked like he was seriously ill.
This is a gadget that Han Yu took from Xingyuan, and it is a gadget for walking the rivers and lakes.
"Okay, that should be pretty much it. Han Yu glanced at him with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the official road.
Master Ge only felt a slight tingling in the skin on his face, grinned, and hurriedly followed.
.....
At noon, the two came to a very ordinary restaurant, and Mr. Ge, who was sitting in front of the window, was suspiciously observing the situation around the house.
They stopped a carriage on the road, paid some silver taels, and entered Xuanhuang City smoothly. Before coming to the mansion, Lord Ge was very cautious, and pulled Han Yu to this small restaurant, observing vigilantly.
After all, he escaped from prison last night, and it is likely that the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to wait for the rabbit. The two ate and drank in the restaurant for an hour, and saw that there was really no one around to guard them, so they took Han Yu and walked over.
"Bang" "Bang"
There was a knock on the door, and an old man in a cloth coat opened the door with a vigilant face.
"Master!" the old servant recognized Master Ge in surprise and exhaled softly.
"Uncle Hou, where is Madame?" Lord Ge asked in a low voice as he looked around nervously.
"Madame and Son-in-law are both in the mansion, and now there are only three people in the mansion. The old man hurriedly explained.
"Limber, you hurry up and buy an extra carriage, and we'll go now. Master Ge hurriedly commanded.
"Yes, sir!" the old man heard this, and ran out in a hurry.
Lord Ge hurriedly pulled Han Yu into the mansion and closed the door casually.
A moment later, he saw the virtuous woman and the young man, who was only ten years old, and gathered up their valuables.
.....
At the time of Shen, a carriage passed the West City Gate and rushed out at a gallop towards the official road.
Han Yu sat next to the waiting uncle who was driving the car, holding a piece of parchment in his hand and forming a map, as well as a small pagoda magic weapon and a large six small and seven golden needles, which were the magic weapons given by Lord Ge's mouth.
The family of three was sitting in the carriage, and Lord Ge was relieved to see that he had escaped smoothly, and the carriage was full of luggage and softness, which was enough for them to live a rich life.
Master Ge lifted the curtain and looked at Han Yu's face full of respect.
Just went out of the city and was inspected by a soldier, but fortunately, Han Yu took out a gold medal so that the property in the car was not exploited.
"I'll send you out of the city thirty miles, the quality of your two magic weapons is very good, and it's worth my trip. Han Yu played with the two high-grade magic weapons in his hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Immortal, it's all your credit to be able to get out of the city smoothly, if I am discovered, my family will be cut off. When Lord Ge heard this, he said with a hint of joy on his face.
"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do. Did your ancestor leave any clues?" Han Yu asked with a frown.
"My dad died suddenly, and he didn't leave any clues. Master Ge said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, there's a vague location anyway, and I can always find it with a little more effort. Han Yu felt a little regretful in his heart when he heard this, but he said noncommittally.
"Master Immortal, there is a person floating on the official road!" Hou Bo, who was silent along the way, suddenly exclaimed.
Master Ge was shocked and hurriedly looked forward.
I saw a Confucian student floating on the woods dozens of zhang away in front of the official road, nodding at Han Yu.
"This person should be here to pursue the matter. But don't worry, I'll hold this man back and let you escape unharmed. Han Yu also saw Confucius, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile.
Hou Bo stopped Male, and Han Yu jumped out of the carriage, reciting a spell and rushing to the sky.
Han Yu and Confucian Sheng glanced at each other, Han Yu thought that this person had finally been revealed, so he smiled and said, "This fellow Daoist, didn't you come to find Han, what's the matter?"
