Xie Yixiang suddenly realized that the person who planted drugs in the forest that day to stop Yamamoto Ichikawa from pursuing was actually the Luomu Venerable in the "Five Elements Protector" of the Shenhuo Sect, and the "Old Mr. Mu" beside Prince Geshu he had seen. I can't imagine that such a master has been hiding in the army, and he doesn't know it at all, which can really be described as extremely incompetent.

From this point of view, I am afraid that what I said is true, and I think that hiding this poison master of the Divine Fire Sect in the army is obviously premeditated, and from the very beginning, I have already thought about using this terrible strange disease to infect the Dongying country, so that it will not be able to invade the Central Plains for ten or even twenty years, and then slowly try to fulfill the promise to postpone this rebellion until one hundred and fifty years later.

I think it was because this move was too vicious, and Yan Sidao not only didn't want to admit that it was his own idea, but also borrowed a son's mouth to tell it, so there was a dispute between the two at this time.

I heard that Xian Jingyue had already frowned and asked: "This move will harm the innocent people of Dongying, it will hurt the heavens and reason, is there any other way?"

The two people in the dispute suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xian Jingyue together. Yan Sidao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jingyue, how can you take care of the people of the Central Plains when you invade the border? Since the two countries are at war, between victory and defeat, life and death, all kinds of means can be said to be exhausted, if one side still has to take care of the safety of the people, isn't it self-defeating?" What is the difference between killing people and killing them with disease, and killing them with a knife?"

Xian Jingyue was speechless for a moment, so she had to be silent. Xie Yixiang always felt that this move was inappropriate, and was about to speak, but when he heard a knock on the door, a sergeant came to report, saying that a group of six people had come to Gu Yuncheng, and a woman led by a woman wanted to see Xie Yixiang by name, but she refused to reveal her identity.

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be curious, and she really couldn't think of where the "woman" wanted to see her. Yan Sidao was not polite, so he taught the sergeant to bring people here. But in a moment, a middle-aged woman had pushed the door into the house, her body was slightly fat, and her waist hung a scimitar, but it was Yue Yingqiu, the head catcher of the Jinling Torture Arrest Room, and it was also the eldest sister Yue who had taught Xie Yixiang to stay away from Jinling to avoid trouble and go out to inquire about the "human kitchen case".

Seeing that Sister Yue appeared here, Xie Yixiang was both happy and surprised, and hurriedly got up to respond. Unexpectedly, Sister Yue was also the newly appointed deputy commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, but she was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. After everyone greeted each other, Sister Yue said with a straight smile: "I heard that Miss Xie San's brother and sister broke Gu Yuncheng and made miraculous achievements, and I, who happened to be my sister, happened to be nearby, of course I want to come over to congratulate her! ”

As she spoke, she beckoned outside the house, "Bring that thief in!" Then she turned her head to look at Xie Yixiang and asked with a smile, "I wonder if my sister has ever heard of the 'Immortal in the Box'?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Xie Yixiang, De Yizi and Yan Sidao who were present changed greatly at the same time, and they asked in unison: "What did you say?" Sister Yue didn't expect the three of them to have such a big reaction, but she was startled, and hurriedly explained: "Recently, there has been a series of strange cases of murder and robbery and defilement of women in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. So I asked Mr. Situ for this case, took people to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to investigate, and it took a lot of effort to chase all the way to the vicinity of the Taizhou capital, and finally captured the thief. “

Speaking of this, she had unwrapped her back, took out a rectangular box cast of iron from it and placed it on the table, about two feet long, one foot wide, and half a foot thick, engraved with a cloud dragon pattern, which looked like an antiquity in the Tang and Song dynasties.

I only heard Sister Yue continue: "If you want to talk about the strange case of 'Immortal in the Box', it is actually not worth a damn if it is solved, but someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost and hid in this small iron box, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime and harm people. Don't look at the size of this iron box, this thief can really hide in, this way to chase here, along the way lanterns, gong barrels, wine jars, rice pots and other things, he can actually hide in it, see our crowd of catchers stunned. ”

As he spoke, the two men had escorted one into the house and fell heavily to the ground. Everyone looked at it, but it was a dwarf man less than three feet tall, very ugly in appearance, and he was firmly bound with more than a dozen iron chains, so that he could not break free. Sister Yue continued: "I am not afraid of everyone laughing, although this thief is cunning and has magical powers similar to 'bone shrinking', he is a natural womanizer, but he is not happy with women, and in the end, I used my body as a bait to lure him to take the bait, so I caught this thief." According to his confession, he was originally a person from Dongying, or a master of 'Koga Ninjutsu', and after coming to the Central Plains with the Japanese fleet, he has been acting alone, robbing money and lust in various places, and even spreading rumors in the name of 'Immortals in the Box', which made people panic. I heard that Miss Xie San broke the widows in Guyun City, and purged the Dongying people in the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so I sent this thief together and handed it over to my sister to deal with. ”

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Xie Yixiang suddenly smiled dumbly. When she heard the words "fairy in the box", she naturally recalled that Mr. Qingtian, who was in a difficult life and death in the prison village, was also in a willow box, and said that what Sister Yue said was related to his old man. Who knows, it is a "Koga Ninjutsu" Japanese coward who pretends to be a god everywhere, and the iron box used to commit the crime is also very different from Mr. Aota's willow box, which is obviously just a coincidence. Yan Sidao and De Yizi next to him also breathed a sigh of relief one after another, one lit the dry smoke with a hippie smile, and the other closed his eyes listlessly.

However, as soon as Sister Yue's words fell, the dwarf and widow who was bound by the iron chain suddenly shouted loudly and said sharply: "Rats and thieves, you can't win with martial arts! If you don't use tricks, looking at the vastness of the Central Plains, who can fight with me?"

Xie Yixiang didn't expect this thief to be rampant, and under the anger, he was about to teach a lesson, but he heard Xian Jingyue say lightly: "Yue catches the head, borrow a knife." Before Sister Yue came back to her senses, she heard a "swish", and the saber on her waist had jumped out of the scabbard on its own, spinning around in mid-air, and the blade fell straight towards the dwarf. Yan Sidao saw it clearly, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Jingyue left him alive!"

I saw that the waist knife kept castrating and continued to slash down, but listening to the clanging sound, it only cut off the dozen or so iron chains bound to the dwarf's body, and then stuck it on the ground in front of him. I only heard Xian Jingyue say coldly: "If you are not convinced, you can take a knife to fight." ”

Only then did everyone understand the intention of competing for the moon first, and there was another good show to watch in the secret road. As soon as the dwarf restraint was gone, he hurriedly drew his knife in his hand, and glared at Xian Jingyue in front of the table, with a cloudy look on his face. You must know that the dozen or so circles of iron chains on his body are very strong, even if he can't break free from his bone-shrinking ninjutsu, who knows that this white-clothed young man used his mind to control the knife in the air, and cut it lightly, and it didn't hurt him at all.

The dwarf glared angrily for a long time, knowing that the gap between himself and the other party was too big, and finally all thoughts were lost. At that moment, he shouted angrily, turned the tip of the knife and inserted it into his lower abdomen, and he was actually going to perform a seppuku act. Who knew that Xian Jingyue waved his hand slightly, and the waist knife in his hand flew out of his hand, and with another "swish", he returned to the scabbard on Sister Yue's waist. Then Xian Jingyue flicked in the air, sealed the four big holes on the dwarf's chest with his strength, and said lightly: "If you don't have the courage to fight, why do you want to come to the Central Plains to shout?"

Sister Nayue is also a person who practices martial arts, and when she saw Xian Jingyue's kung fu, she was really shocked, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. On the side, Yan Sidao stepped forward with a smile, and with only one hand, he picked up this dwarf, who was less than three feet tall, from the ground, and said with a smile: "Second, second, second! Yue Zhutou sent this old man at this time, which is undoubtedly the east wind blowing and icing on the cake." I will let Venerable Luomu recuperate for your brother, and when I return to Dongying, I will teach my brother to live as soon as possible, and play with it until the sky is dark, and the sea is dry and rotten!"

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, hurriedly looked at Deyizi beside him, and asked, "...... him What about the prisoners of the Japanese ......" Before he had finished speaking, he stood up and left the house without looking back, apparently ending the day's deliberations.

As a result, only Xie Yixiang, Xian Jingyue and Sister Yue were left in the room. Sister Yue didn't know what everyone was talking about, and seeing that there was no one else, she smiled at Xie Yixiang and said, "It's good to teach my sister to know, my sister is coming this time, in fact, there is something to tell you." I think you have also heard the first deputy commander say that the imperial court annexed the 'Xuanwu' and 'Feihua' factions in Jinling City in the name of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and re-established the 'Xuanwu Feihuamen', with Ye Dinggong, the commander-in-chief of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, as the head of the house, and recruited masters from various departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee to join, so that he could dominate the rivers and lakes on the 'Taihu Lake Lecture on Martial Arts' on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival half a month later, and command the heroes. After discussion, my criminal arrest room unanimously decided that the four masters of the criminal arrest room, Ximen Jieximen, Cheng Zhendi, Cheng Zhukuai, Xu Fei, Xu Zhukuai and Miss Xie San, on behalf of the masters of the criminal arrest room, will temporarily join this 'Xuanwu Feihuamen', which will be uniformly dispatched by Ye Dinggong. ”

It is said that Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue have reunited after a long absence, and they have not had time to talk deeply, although they have vaguely heard of the Mid-Autumn Festival's "Taihu Lake Martial Arts", but the matter of "Xuanwu Feihuamen" is the first time I have heard of it, and I can't help but be a little confused. I only heard that Sister Yue smiled again: "The name of 'chaotic parting, competing for the moon and Yixiang' is powerful in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a painstaking arrangement for President Situ to make such an arrangement, so as to teach Miss Xie San and Deputy Commander Xianjing to reunite the senior brothers and sisters, and shine in the grand event of 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' and serve the imperial court together." Therefore, half a month later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I had to bother my sister to go to Suzhou Taihu Lake with the first deputy commander. ”

Xie Yixiang was silent, her heart full of taste. As the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, because of his father Xie Fengxuan's relationship, he has always been taken care of by Zhuang Haoming, the former chief arrester of the criminal arrest room. Now that Zhuang Haoming was killed in Dongting Lake, and his father is no longer alive, Situ Mingjie, as the newly appointed chief catcher of the criminal arrest room, took advantage of this "Xuanwu Feihuamen" to recruit masters from various ministries, and justifiably transferred his "old minister" away, which is actually an ordinary means in officialdom, which is understandable.

At that moment, she asked Xian Jingyue beside her, and said, "Senior brother is also going to Taihu Lake?" Seeing Xian Jingyue nodding slowly, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said with a wry smile: "Since it is the order of President Situ to catch the head, then I will go to Taihu Lake with my senior brother." ”

Then Sister Yue and her entourage got up and went back to Jinling to resume their lives, and everyone continued to clean up the mess of Gu Yuncheng, and the people who said and thought about it would dispose of the more than 800 Japanese prisoners, and Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue didn't ask. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Xie Yixiang was preparing to set off for Taihu Lake with the first Jingyue, but unexpectedly, Yin of Taizhou Mansion came to reward the three armies, and he had to invite everyone to the city for a banquet, and his words were very enthusiastic. Xie Yixiang couldn't shirk it, and in the end she had to go with Xian Jingyue, De Yizi, Yan Sidao and others.

So the group entered the city, but saw that the city was full of lights, gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the atmosphere was more lively than the New Year. On both sides of the road are the people who welcome them, which can be described as a sea of people, and they praise the power of the officials and soldiers. Many people also desperately rushed forward to present all kinds of gifts to the accompanying soldiers, including melons, fruits and vegetables, brocade cloth, fine wine and elixir, and gold, silver, pearls and jade, all kinds of things.

Xie Yixiang's heart ached slightly, knowing that the reason why the people were so happy was because they had been suffering from the Japanese for a long time, and now they were finally looking forward to the day of Tai'an Province. However, she couldn't be more aware of the price paid for the extermination of the Japanese Invaders, and she couldn't help but feel her heart fluctuate and her thoughts were thousands, wishing that the world would be peaceful for a long time and that there would never be war in the world.

Looking at Xian Jingyue beside him, in the face of the joy of the people in the city, his unsmiling senior brother showed a rare sense of relief on his face. Sidao didn't want to show his face, and mixed in the ranks of the accompanying sergeants all the way, and at this time, he was receiving the gifts from the people with all the sergeants, just picking up the valuable ones and stuffing them into his arms, with a heartfelt smile on his face. As for the son who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, although his face was full of disdain, the corners of his mouth were also slightly raised, and there was a hint of a smile.

For a while, Xie Yixiang had an unprecedented calm, and even had an illusion, only to feel that this moment seemed to have been sublimated into eternity, regardless of the change of things and the change of stars, the birth of clouds and the extinction, still eternal. Even when she looked back a hundred years later, this moment could still be clearly seen in front of her, and it seemed like it had just happened.

As for her at this moment, she can only hope that time will condense and never move forward, so that this situation will last forever, and everyone can be happy and safe together, and never be separated again.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen storms in the sky, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows. The gathering of the people of the world today is for the parting of other days; the flowers bloom and the tide rises and falls, and the cycle repeats itself, and its path does not change. Exactly: how many things, bit by bit, fluttering in the smoke and rain, how many people, in a hurry, gathered and scattered to the ends of the world.

(End of case)
