The third round: the twin stars fall into the city of Tianzi, and the crescent moon and the wind raise suspicious clouds

This round of bright moon shines on the platform of this singing and dancing, and the night is getting closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moonlight will be more selfless to the earth. The moonlight combined with the candle flame dancing with the woman's dance beside the balcony made the dance of the woman dressed in the Western Regions even more charming.

"This woman is dressed like Persia, but her dance is the dance of Tianzhu. Pu Mu said.

"Brother Pu also has research on dance?" said that, Shen Lie had asked the guy to put the tea and pastries on Pu Mu and Jueming's table. Jue Ming did not see such a scene as other monks did: he folded his hands and said his sins, but instead he looked calmly out the window.

"If the master doesn't like to look at it, it's better to ......," Shen Lie said.

"No, what is in front of you is just the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. If the old man really likes and dislikes, it can only be said that the old man has not been completely born. Jue Ming said.

"Compassion is cherished, born and entered the world. The master's Buddha heart is really high. Shen Lie said.

The rhythm has changed, and the rhythm has gradually become faster, "The rhythm of this rhythm is the music of Tianzhu, and the dance steps of this woman are the unique prayer dance in the palace of Tianzhu, but why is this woman dancing so charming?"

Shen Lie didn't reply, only poured tea on the side, and at this moment the opportunity was revealed, he had waited for the best time to assassinate Pu Mu and Jue Ming - Pu Mu and Jue Ming had relaxed their vigilance against this inn at this time, and the moment of relaxation was often able to make the killer kill with one blow.

I saw that the woman got up and jumped to the door of the private room in front of her, stretched out her slender jade hand, lifted a glass of wine and sent it to Boss Lai's mouth. Boss Lai grabbed the woman's hand, hugged her directly into his arms, laughed, and said, "Accompany me ...... tonight" The woman's figure was as smooth as a snake, and she directly pulled herself out of Boss Lai's arms, and slowly walked to Pu Mu's side with the music in the room and the beat of the drum.

Shen Lie had completely opened the door of Pu Mu and Jue Ming's room just now, and as long as the woman passed by a table of guests, she could go to the private room where Pu Mu was.

The music had slowly stopped, and the woman turned around and jumped into Pu Mu's private room.

The music stopped.

The doors and windows closed slowly. The light reflected the image of the woman taking off her clothes. All the guests exclaimed, "It's cheap, that little white face—"

"Hey, isn't there an old monk here? Shopkeeper Shen, what the hell are you doing-"

The atmosphere below was like a fryer, the scolding continued, and the guests all felt that the money was wasted tonight - only to see Shin Yeol flee from the house in a panic, shouting: "Kill someone-"

Everyone was panicked, and they saw that they didn't know who was pinching the woman's neck on the video, and the woman couldn't move. Everyone was scurrying around like ants with a smashed nest, Shen Lie naturally understood, and immediately asked the guy to open the door, and all the bosses immediately ran out of the street, and Shen Lie ran out with the crowd.

The streets on the moonlit night were long deserted, Shen Lie and the others ran out of about a mile and gasped, and then Shen Lie said: "Everyone, I'm really sorry today, there was a misunderstanding in the room just now, the woman was the good friend of the guest, and the two didn't speculate, so they fought......"

"No, Shen shopkeeper, that woman obviously ......" Boss Lai panted, as if it was difficult for him to completely say this sentence.

"Blame me, I went blind to find her, she is the killer 'Shadow Demon' on the rivers and lakes. Shen Lie's words at this time were all a little crying.

Everyone immediately comforted Shen Yeol and hurriedly dispersed. After Shen Lie saw those guests leaving, he took out a few silver tickets and said to the guys: "Everyone, today is Shen's fault, this inn is difficult to keep, this is the silver I carry with me, you all share it, go home." ”

The men took the money and ran away without a trace. Shen Lie watched everyone's figures disperse and immediately rushed to the inn.

It is only said that when Yan Yu arrived in the room at that time, she took out a shadow puppet and played her best shadow puppet play, and the door and window were naturally closed by Shen Lie. After seeing Yan Yu play that fragrant scene, Pu Mu and Jueming were a little surprised, and Shen Lie stepped forward to introduce at this time, and exerted force with both hands - although the two were surprised, but they were not on guard - they were pointed at by Shen Lie. After that, Yan Yu's shadow puppet turned into a neck-pinching scene, and Shen Lie ran out of the door and dispersed the crowd as a play, leaving only Yan Yu and the killer pretending to be a singer. Shen Yeol naturally knew that after hearing about the female killer, those people would just run away on their own and would not care about the affairs of the store anymore, and of course, as long as the gang gave money, they would not return to the inn where they thought the murder had occurred.

Speaking of this store, Pu Mu and Jueming's acupoints have not yet broken through. The two were escorted to the lobby, and there were twelve singers in the lobby, Yan Yu picked up the small box that Pu Mu played with during the day and said, "Pu Mu, your small box is exquisite." You are so accurate in the chess game, can you be considered to have been captured today?"

"You don't kill me now, you want me to tell me what's in this little box. Pu Mu said.

"I don't want to know, but my employer wants to know, otherwise you would have died in Huangquan—" Yan Yu pointed her jade at Pu Mu's head.

"Amitabha, forgive Zen nature, sin. Jue Ming said.

"Master, there are so many things in the world that we can't know, and even if I can't wait until late at night to play chess today, they will find other ways to harm us. We are all flesh and blood, so how can we always be on guard? Those who have a desire to harm others will do everything possible to trouble us, and we cannot prevent it. Pu Mu said.

"Actually, if you say ......" Yan Yu's index finger picked up Pu Mu's chin and said, "Your posture doesn't have to die......

"Your selfishness is really terrifying, what if I run away?" Pu Mu said.

"The medicine in the colored tofu you ate is almost ...... now" After saying that, he motioned to a singer to play the pipa, only to see that Jueming's eyes were immediately dull, and he slowly half-closed his eyes, and Pu Mu was the same.

"How do I open this little box?" Yan Yu asked.

"Left twist-" As soon as the words fell, Pu Mu's back was tied with his hand thrown forward, only to see the rope reversely encasing Yan Mo's hands, only to see Pu Mu pull out the rope and tighten it, and a dead knot was instantly tied in front of Yan Mo's hands. Before Yan Yu could react, he was hit by Pu Mu again.

Jue Ming came back to his senses, only to see that Pu Mu had already kidnapped Yan Yu's throat, and said to the twelve singers: "Tell your master, this is called a point." Yan Yu, I can not kill you and others today, if you wait to block it again, next time it will no longer be just a point-" After saying that, he grabbed Jueming and jumped onto the roof. Unexpectedly, the twelve singers immediately flew upstairs, played the pipa, played the hole flute and flute, and instantly killed several flying needles and went straight to Pu Mu.

Pu Mu was in a hurry and immediately pulled off Jueming's robe, and knocked down all the flying needles with a twist. The twelve singers surrounded Pu Mu, and Pu Mu protected Master Jueming and solved Master Jueming's acupoints. The two fought back to back with the twelve singers, and they fought for more than 20 rounds without winning or losing. I saw that the twelve singers were fighting with Pu Mu and Jueming like a group, and Pu Mu and Jueming were surrounded by the formation of the twelve singers every time they broke the formation.

This fight went from the house to the hall, and the two couldn't break the formation for a long time, although Yan Mo was pointed by Pu Mu, but Pu Mu's finger power was lighter, if another quarter of an hour passed, Yan Yu would be able to move. If Yan Yu joins again, Pu Mu and Jueming's chances will be even more difficult.

Pu Mu saw that the exercises of the twelve singers seemed to have a certain rhythm at this time, and recalling the song and dance just now, Pu Mu's eyes lit up, and said, "Master, attack with me-"

After saying that, Pu Mu changed his pace and attacked with Jueming, the power of the two seemed to have doubled, and the formation of the singer seemed to be more and more unstable, and a corner was broken in the blink of an eye, and the two escaped from the formation with light skills.

The Twelve Singers chased forward, but was stopped by Shen Lie, who sneaked back, and said, "No need to chase-" After that, he stepped forward again to untie Yan Yu's acupoint, loosened the tie, and said: "You have too much gossip, which is why he escaped-your reward is gone." ”

Yan Yu wanted to speak and stopped, but he was very angry in his heart, but he still couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for your immediate boss asking for the contents of that small box, he would have died a thousand times ago—I knew that you men would only use me, and in the end I would only have a bad reputation among you." Anyway, I won't be with you anymore—"

Yan Yu opened the door of the store, and as soon as he left, Shen Lie replied: "You have trampled yourself, but you have come to blame the man for giving you a bad reputation." If you want to go, you can go, I won't leave you here-" Yan Yu turned around and spat on the ground, twisting her snake-like waist to leave the inn.

"Wait for the guests below to leave first, and then you disguise yourself into the capital. Don't let this woman be bad for her master's business—" Shen Lie said.

"Yes, shopkeeper. But ......," said a singer.

"But what?" said Shen Lie.

"Among the guests below, there is also Chen Renhai, who failed to kill Pu Mu tonight, it is better for me to follow Chen Renhai tomorrow and kill him on the road. ”

"I'm worried about it, Chen Renhai was poisoned, and he will die of poison at noon tomorrow, and he has been in the inn today, and he has never left my sight, and the people below have not reported anything unusual, everything is in order, why mess with him on the road." Shen Lie said.

"The shopkeeper, Pu Mu escaped death today, and his subordinates are afraid that if Chen Renhai also escapes tomorrow, the master will definitely blame...... It's better to let the guys below put incense to make him fall asleep tonight, and take his life directly while he is asleep. ”

Shen Lie reprimanded: "There is still a brother of mine sleeping below, tomorrow when Chen Renhai is not there, he will not be suspicious?"

"Then ......" Before the singer could finish speaking, she was slapped to the ground by Shinyeol, "next time let me hear such words, watch out for your head, and you-"

The singers answered again and again, and hurried back to their underground huts to sleep without mentioning them.

At this time, thick clouds drifted in the night sky, the moonlight was blocked, Pu Mu and Jueming ran together for about twenty miles, and the two of them felt that their chests were hot and hot, and the qi and blood in their bodies were churning, Jueming immediately stopped and said: "The residual poison has not disappeared, I have been running for so long, I think the poison has intensified." ”

Pu Mu immediately fixed his body, exercised and conditioned, and suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were unstable and spread directly on the ground, Jueming immediately meditated, and put his hands together to heal his injuries, but the effect was not good, and he also felt paralyzed.

The sky was cloudy, I don't know what time it was at this time, Jueming already felt that his eyes were black, and he couldn't support his sleep, Pu Mu also felt that his body was getting softer and softer, but he was still holding on with his strong internal force. As soon as a team of people left the city, they met Pu Mu, who was sitting on the side of the official road.

The leader was a white-robed swordsman, Pu Mu saw this person's official boots on the stirrup, and immediately asked, "Where are the officials going-"

When the white-robed man stopped his horse and saw the costumes of the two, he paid more attention to Jueming, who had fallen to the ground, and immediately asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

Pu Mu smiled and said, "I don't know which way the official is?"

The white-robed man said: "I am the head of the patrol house in the capital, and I went to Longbi Pass on the order of the prime minister......"

Pu Mu crawled towards Jueming, took out a letter from Jueming's pocket, and said, "Prime Minister's letter-"

The white-robed man came over, opened it and looked at it, and said, "If it's really Xiangye's handwriting, Your Excellency is Pu Mu, and that is the master of Shaolin's Jueming?"

"If it's fake...... Send us to the capital for healing......" Pu Mu seemed to be difficult to support, "Help the two of you to get on the horse-"

I saw two subordinates put Pu Mu and Jueming on horseback, and the team immediately returned to the capital.

It was early in the morning, and the contents of the inn had been put back in their original state. Shen Lie boiled porridge in the kitchen, took a braised duck, cut it into pieces, wrapped it, took a few more cooked vegetables, heated it a little, and wrapped it up.

Chen Renhai and Wei Lian Mink walked out of the ground, they really don't know what happened here last night, this underground guest room is really strange, Chen Renhai slept well last night, and his spirit has recovered a lot this morning. Wei Lian Mink packed his bags, put them on the table in the hall, went to find tea leaves to brew, and paced to the courtyard to move his muscles, and before his waist was stretched, Shen Lie's porridge was boiled.

"Two, take a sip of porridge and go on the road. Shen Lie said. "These cooked foods are eaten on the road. ”

Chen Renhai took a big sip of porridge and said, "Thank you for the care of Shopkeeper Shen, I slept well last night, and my spirit is much better today." Wei Lian Mink took a sip of tea and said, "The spices for you were placed in my room yesterday, and you can let your buddies go down and get them later." With that, Wei Lian Mink also picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

"By the way, why don't you see the chef of Shen's shopkeeper, as well as the buddies and the running hall?" asked Chen Renhai.

"They went home this morning to rest, and I was too late last night to handle the early morning stuff in the store. Hahahaha......" Shen Lie said.

"You are a bodhisattva today, and you usually only let them rest in the shop...... It's really rare to be able to let them go to sleep peacefully. Wei Lian Mink drank the tea in the cup and said, "Brother Chen, it's not early, let's go-"

"Good. After the two said goodbye to Shen Lie, they led their horses out of the store and got on their horses.

The sun was just at noon, and the two horses had already entered the bustling capital. At the door of an oil mill in the capital, Wei Lian Mink gave him his last bag of spices, collected the money, and invited Chen Renhai to eat Chinese food at a small noodle stall.

"Along the way, thank you Brother Wei for taking care of you, Brother Wei spent on food, accommodation and horses, and you can go to Chenjiabao to get some silver money when the time comes......"

Wei Lian Mink interrupted Chen Renhai's words and said, "Hey, Brother Chen, how could you say such a thing, and you didn't treat me Wei Lian Mink as a brother?"

"Brother Wei, don't get me wrong, it's just that Brother Wei broke his own blue scorpion and sable in order to cure the poison. These two sacred objects, even if Chen gave all his money, they could not be recovered. But if Chen didn't even ask about the food, lodging and horses that Brother Wei paid for me, then Chen really didn't want to go, and what face did he have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. Chen Renhai explained.

"Hahahaha...... Brother Chen is a hero in the world, it is not a pity that the blue scorpion and sable can save Brother Chen, and I have a way to raise those two living creatures. Besides, what is this money for me? Brother Chen will enter the Great Inner in the future, if he gets the relationship in the officialdom, won't my spices be easy to sell?" Wei Lian Mink said.

"Brother Wei quipped, by the way, Brother Wei left the capital, is there any other place to go?" asked Chen Renhai.

"I first went back to Jinyang's money village to enter the account, and then went to western Yunnan, Sichuan-Tibet, Huijiang, and Dongting to pick flowers and materials, and then naturally delivered them to each family. Wei Lian Mink said.

"Brother Wei, can you pass by Ludong?" asked Chen Renhai.

"Do you want me and Brother Chen to send a message home?" Wei Lian Mink said.

"I want Brother Wei to check on the matter of Kingdee Village. Chen Renhai said: "In the market town outside Longbi Pass, the shopkeeper named Qiu holds the unique Kingdee Dart of Kingdee Village in his hand, plus the 'Shadow Demon' and the 'Poison Keeper'. I speculate that Kingdee Zhuang thinks that something has happened, but I am not sure. Chen Renhai said.

"Kingdee Village is a decent person in the rivers and lakes, and he will not be in the company of those two martial arts scum, then the shopkeeper Qiu is either the scum in Jindee Village, or ...... Okay, I'll pass by Ludong and check it. Wei Lian Mink said.

After lunch, the two said goodbye. Wei Lian Mink drove the horse out of the capital, and Chen Renhai found the Dingnan Palace.

Chen Renhai buckled the door to pay respects, and the little guy entered the door to report, and when he was young, another little guy went out to lead Chen Renhai into the palace. After passing through the main hall, reception room, and back hall of the palace, I walked about eight or nine hundred steps along the corridor of the garden, and arrived at a small building, where there were a lot of fallen leaves in front of the small building, and a few maids were cleaning, and the little servants invited Chen Renhai to the upper floor.

I saw a middle-aged man in a python robe and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe playing upstairs, and a little guy whispered a few words to the middle-aged man in a python robe, and the man looked at Chen Renhai and said, "Hahahaha, I have been waiting day and night, Chen Gongzi is finally here." ”

The man in the brocade robe also looked back at Chen Renhai and said, "Lord, this is Chen Gongzi of Chenjiabao?"

King Dingnan's two-handed, mustache shook rhythmically with his smile, and nodded to the man, Chen Renhai immediately moved forward, and said: "Grass people Chen Renhai greeted the king to drive a thousand years old-" After saying that, he was about to go forward and salute, King Dingnan saw this, and immediately got up and helped Chen Renhai up, and said: "Chen Gongzi is exempt from courtesy-" Then, King Dingnan ordered his subordinates to go down to the pavilion, leaving one or two people to close the door and wait.

"Gongzi Chen, let me introduce you to you, this is Taiyi Liu from Tai Hospital. ”

The two saluted each other, and Imperial Physician Liu said: "Chen Gongzi's complexion ......" Before Imperial Physician Liu finished speaking, he glanced at King Dingnan, and King Dingnan said: "Young Master Chen, Imperial Physician Liu has excellent medical skills, and he is a rare holy hand in Tai Hospital, can you let Imperial Doctor Liu diagnose it?"

Chen Renhai remembered that he was poisoned by Xun Lian the day before yesterday and was rescued by Wei Lian Mink, who took out his own unique healing creatures, blue scorpion and sable, to treat Chen Renhai. After thinking about it, he said, "Doctor Liu, I'm tired—" After that, he raised his arm so that it was convenient for Doctor Liu to take his pulse.

Imperial Physician Liu's eyes rolled left and right, and said, "This pulse is like ...... Did Chen Gongzi have any accidents on the way here?"

Chen Renhai told King Dingnan and Imperial Physician Liu what happened the day before yesterday, "That's not right...... There is more than one kind of poison in Chen Gongzi......" Mrs. Liu pondered. "Chen Gongzi, have you eaten anything else in Longbi Pass?"

"The inn where I stayed with my friend who rescued me ate the same food, the blue scorpion and sable have long since been damaged before they cured me, if I am poisoned in the inn, then my friend and I will both ......"

Imperial Physician Liu shook his hand and denied what Chen Renhai said, and said, "Chen Gongzi doesn't know, your friend stung your poisoned hands with a blue scorpion, which turned poisonous blood, and the sable bit your ring finger again to inject its saliva into your body to delay the onset of poison." Chen Gongzi's internal strength is strong, coupled with the effect of sable and blue scorpion, even if he is poisoned again, the attack time will be delayed for a long time, you must have been poisoned in Longbi Pass that can attack regularly, as for your friend......"

"Is that friend of yours credible?" King Dingnan wondered.

"Lord Wang, if my friend really wants to harm me, why did he accompany me to the capital? The owner of the inn, he is a good brother of my friend, and it stands to reason that he will not ......" Chen Renhai also lost his thoughts.

"Gongzi Chen, do you know the name of the inn?" asked King Dingnan.

"The inn is called 'Baishangju'. The boss's name is Shin Yeol. Chen Renhai said.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Longbi Pass to investigate after dinner. Doctor Liu, please also prescribe a cure for Chen Renhai. "Dingnan Wang Road.

"Follow the prince's order-" After saying that, Imperial Physician Liu took out the silver needle, pierced it into Chen Renhai's elbow, picked up another silver needle, touched the back of Chen Renhai's neck with his left hand, found the position and pierced it again. After Imperial Physician Liu stopped, he said: "At present, the lower officials can only suppress the operation of Chen Gongzi's strength, so that the poisonous hair can be delayed again. He also asked the prince to take a pair of paper and pencils, and the officials could prescribe medicine for Chen Gongzi. ”

The king of Dingnan motioned to the people outside the door to get pen and paper. He added: "The person who ambushed Chen Gongzi, from what he said, I think it was instructed by someone in the court." ”

"That's right, get rid of Gongzi Chen and protect your henchmen from the top, obviously. Doctor Liu said.

"This time, the emperor sent me, Zuo Xiang and Li Daxue, as well as General Hu Benzuo, General Storm Bear, General Qilin and other military attachés to look for masters of the rivers and lakes to enter Beijing to participate in the selection of the commander of the Great Interior. However, Qilin and Storm Bear have already sent troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion together with the king of Zhenbei, so it is only the job of the other four to choose masters. Zuo Xiang is a decent person, and Scholar Li rarely wades into the rivers and lakes, thinking that he is still having a headache about how to find people, how can he still think like this? As for General Hu Ben, although he has an eccentric temperament, he is dedicated to the society of the country and is above board, and he will not do such a thing. King Dingnan analyzed.

"May I also ask the prince, what is the ...... of the selection of the inner people this time" Before Chen Renhai finished asking, King Dingnan immediately responded, saying: "Hahahaha...... At the beginning of this year, the Ouchi commander made adjustments, and many of the guards were merged into the military room, and some were entered the barracks. The emperor wants to reorganize the inner in the original people and the masters of the rivers and lakes, in addition, the emperor also wants to rebuild the Moon Dragon Pavilion, and also wants to create a new martial arts holy weapon, but the matter of the holy weapon is not under the control of the king, and the details are unknown. ”

At this time, the subordinate took a pen and paper, and the imperial physician Liu wrote the prescription with a pen, and the subordinate asked the king of Dingnan where to pass the rice, and the king of Dingnan said: "It is good to pass the rice here." Clean up the guest house behind the rockery to facilitate Chen Gongzi's stay. After the subordinate returned the order, he went downstairs, and Chen Renhai said: "Thank you for your love." The grass people also have a reluctant request. ”

"Chen Gongzi, please speak—" Dingnan Wang said.

"I also asked the prince to send someone to visit Kingdee Village. Chen Renhai said.

"Kingdee Village, by the way, my letter was also sent to Kingdee Village, but they have not responded for a long time, and no one has come...... How could Chen Gongzi want to inquire about Jindee Village?"

Chen Renhai told the king of Dingnan what he said about the speculation that Wei Lian Mink said, and the king of Dingnan said: "If something happens to Jindee Village, this king will definitely investigate it thoroughly." ”

As soon as the words fell, the meal had arrived, and all the prescriptions of Imperial Physician Liu had been written.

After the dinner table was set, King Dingnan sent someone to take the recipe to the pharmacy to decoct the medicine, "The matter of Jindee Village, this king will find out clearly, and the king of Ming Japan will take Chen Gongzi into the palace to go to the Yuelong Pavilion to have a look, and then tell Chen Gongzi about the affairs of the Ouchi one by one." Let's eat today—"

The bright moon rises, with the autumn leaves of this small garden, the autumn wind blows into the pavilion with open windows, and there are only three days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon is about to appear.

In the guest room of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, there are also doctors who are busy. Prime Minister Zuo just returned from reading the official documents, and before he changed out of his official uniform, he immediately went to the courtyard of the guest room.

The people sleeping in the room were Pu Mu and Master Jueming.
