Chapter 1287: The Coming of the Demon Spirit (I)
During the conversation, Dongxun and the others got closer and closer to Qi Xueyin and Du Juan's hiding place, and the two hid behind the rock mass to hold their breath, and the atmosphere was extremely tense......
"Wait a minute—" Suddenly, Dongxun seemed to have discovered something, and ordered his subordinates behind him.
Qi Xueyin and Du Juan broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that their hiding place had been discovered......
"What's the matter, hall master?" the cronies asked in a whisper.
Dongxun didn't speak, his eyes noticed a pass on the right side of his body - that place was the pass where Qi Xueyin was picking wild vegetables just now, Dongxun seemed to notice something, and his figure leaned slightly to the side.
I saw a torn purple cloth hanging on top of an inconspicuous branch, this kind of cloth is very rare, and it is generally only found on the clothes of uncommon women of different races.
That piece of cloth was the corner of the clothes that Qi Xueyin accidentally tore off when she flew up from the pass just now......
Dongxun squatted down, stared at the piece of fabric carefully for a long time, touched it in his hand, seemed to understand something, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph......"
"Hall Master, have you found anything?" the cronies thought that Dongxun had noticed some clues, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing......" Dong Xun replied with a cold smile as he hung the silk on the branch again......
And Qi Xueyin and Du Juan, although they were eavesdropping, the two of them lay behind the rock mass and didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by the people of the "Canghuan Sect". After all, the injuries on Qi Xueyin's body have not completely healed, and if they really have to meet them head-on, Qi Xueyin may not be able to deal with them alone, not to mention that there is a very difficult "sworn enemy" Dongxun.
Not only that, I am afraid that Du Juan, who does not know martial arts, revealed his breath because he was too nervous, and Qi Xueyin even gently covered Du Juan's mouth with his hand. Although the cuckoo was uncomfortable, she could only endure it temporarily, after all, she also knew the seriousness of the matter......
"Hall Master, there's nothing to be found here, so let's go back first......" On the side of the Canghuan Sect, the cronies continued to mention, "Maybe Miss will fly the pigeon back to the stronghold at this time, after all, the situation in most of the capital is chaotic, and the situation will change rapidly at any time——"
"That's right......" Dongxun retracted his sneer, and then ordered the disciples behind him, "All the troops are closed, and go back to the stronghold first!"
"Yes, Hall Master—" The cultists replied in unison, and then returned with Dongxun in the direction of Kurong Town......
When Qi Xueyin and Du Juan heard this, they still didn't dare to relax their vigilance, until the members of the "Canghuan Sect" walked away and could no longer hear any footsteps, and the two sisters dared to relax with confidence......
"Scared me to death, I thought I had been found when that person stopped just now......" The cuckoo patted his chest softly and sighed.
However, Qi Xueyin's expression was more solemn, and he still didn't dare to completely let down his guard, and whispered: "But since they came here today and almost bumped into us, it shows that my guess is indeed right - these guys know the whereabouts of Chataiyun and what happened on the cliff that evening......
"It's okay, at least they didn't mention the two of us falling off the cliff......" Du Juan was a little optimistic, "Their conversation just now only talked about Brother Yun's situation, although they also mentioned Sister Qi, but it has nothing to do with what happened on the cliff that day......"
"I don't think so......" However, Qi Xueyin had a different idea, Zhenzhen said, "That guy called 'Dongxun', listening to his tone, seems to be digging into the ground to find me...... I don't think it's that simple, sister, you insist on investigating the truth about your father, I'm afraid it's not a small difficulty......"
"No matter what, this time I must investigate clearly-" Who knows, but the cuckoo showed a rare and firm gaze, and said firmly, "Even if it is dangerous, I will not retreat!"
"Sister ......" Looking at Du Juan's determined expression, Qi Xueyin seemed to feel something, and sighed lightly.
"But I heard them just now, it seems that Brother Yun has returned to Dadu...... In this way, Brother Yun is safe and sound now?" Thinking of the situation just mentioned about Sun Yun, Du Juan couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid not necessarily-I heard them say just now that the gang of guys who ambushed us on the mountain that day were all killed by Cha Taiyun......," Qi Xueyin continued to say cautiously, "The most important thing is that I heard that Chen Yin of the Dadu Prison Military Mansion was killed, and there are even witnesses who say that the murderer is Cha Taiyun!"
"So what?" Du Juan didn't seem to understand the situation at all, and continued to ask curiously, "Sister Qi, you just said that the Prison Military Mansion, isn't Chen Yin ......?"
"Ah, it's also an important imperial court official...... Qi Xueyin nodded and continued, "I should have told you before, the 'Canghuan Sect' used Li Miao, You Fang and others behind the scenes, intending to kill Uncle Chatai, but they all failed, and in the end they were all wiped out...... Chen Yin was no exception, he was originally bought by the people of the 'Canghuan Sect', and their target was still the inconvenience of Uncle Chatai, and Uncle Chatai was really killed...... It stands to reason that the purpose of the 'Canghuan Sect' this time has been achieved, but Chen Yin was still killed, and I began to think that the 'Canghuan Sect' was killing people in order to keep their mouths shut, but I didn't want the murderer of Chen Yin to be Cha Taiyun this time-I don't know if the eyewitnesses' rumors are true or false......"
"Brother Yun should do this to avenge his father and brother......" Du Juan suddenly felt worried in his heart, and his eyes were low, "I just didn't expect the means to be so cruel, I heard those 'Canghuan Sect' people just now say that all the 'Canghuan Sect' disciples who ambushed us that day were mutilated and mutilated...... I didn't expect Brother Yun to become like that in order to take revenge......"
"Maybe I saw you fall off a cliff and thought you had been killed, so I was insane......" Qi Xueyin said lightly, but at the mention of Chatai Dordun's death, he suddenly felt indignant in his heart.
"Brother Yun......" In Du Juan's heart, she has never been able to let go of her concern for Sun Yun, but since she is determined to investigate the truth about her father, Du Juan can only endure it temporarily, making Sun Yun think that she is in distress - under the inner contradiction, Du Juan also seems to be decisive......
"Okay, let's go too-" At the critical moment, Qi Xueyin interrupted Du Juan's thoughts, "The people of the 'Canghuan Sect' have gone away, we also have to go back to our 'stronghold' first, after all, my 'Lieyun' is still there, I can't let it go hungry......"
"Oh......" The cuckoo replied simply, then stood up and walked out from behind the rock mass, and returned to the cave where he lived with Qi Xueyin......
A few days later, the capital was ......
Since the invasion of the "Ming Fujiao" troops into Zhongcheng, the situation in Dadu has become even more chaotic, especially after the martyrdom of the King of Chatai, the army of the imperial court has been in decline, and the key places have been defeated one after another. However, the people will always suffer the most from the chaos left by the war, and it can be said that the war has developed to this point, the order of the entire capital city has been nearly paralyzed, the suppression of the DPRK and China is weak, the army is leaderless, and the reinforcements from outside the customs have not returned, and Mengyuan Sheji has reached the most critical moment.
Because of the war, the Dart Bureau was not spared, and not only the buildings in the street market where the Dart Bureau was located were destroyed, but all the people who came to the Dart Bureau disappeared and did not know where to go. And the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, which has a close relationship with the Laiyun Dart Bureau, has long since suspended its operations because of the extension of the war. However, the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce did not close its doors because of this, the last time it was invited by Sun Yun to support Sun Yun and the disciples of Qingmo Villa in the "Dezhong Street" to support Sun Yun and the disciples of Qingmo Villa, because the war could not go out of the city for the time being, so it could only temporarily use the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce as a resting base, while paying attention to the development of the war situation, while looking for opportunities to help the people in the city who fled and were affected by the disaster.
There was a long gap between the disciples of Mingjian Villa and Qingmo Villa, but because of that time to assist Sun Yun against the "Canghuan Sect", the relationship between the two parties has gradually become better, especially now in the face of the common enemy "Mingfu Sect", the disciples of the two villages have worked together to help each other and tide over the difficulties together.
Hearing the news of the death of the king of Chatai on the battlefield, the owners of the two villages, Hua Yehan and Fang Zhenshi, also mourned, complaining bitterly about the cruelty of the war, and at the same time, they also mourned the death of a generation of loyal ministers of the imperial court with the disciples of the sect......
On this day, the disciples of Liangzhuang are still the same, recuperating in the temporary and safe "sojourn place" of the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce......
"The owner of the flower village, the owner of the Fang village, please drink tea ......" President Yang Zhengming's side, and he also had the leisure to arrange his subordinates to pour tea for the two owners.
"Thank you......" The two owners replied at the same time, and looked at each other and smiled, it seems that the two sides have resolved the previous contradictions with each other, and now they are really like a family, and they are happy in difficult times.
"Hey, I heard a few days ago that Lord Chen Yin Chen of the Military Supervision Mansion was also killed...... Yang Zhengming finished serving the tea and said bitterly, "These days there have been frequent wars, but the officials of the imperial court have been killed one by one, first Lord Li Miao of Tianjing Mansion, and then Lord You Fangyou, the squire of the Ministry of War, even the King of Chatai was unfortunately killed, and Lord Chen of the Military Supervision Mansion is also difficult this time......
"I've heard outside that the murderer of Lord Chen this time is Sun Yun, the young master of the Dart Bureau—" Fang Zhenshi took a sip of tea and said contemplatively, "I don't know if it's true or not...... Based on what I know about Young Master Sun, he shouldn't have made such a move as killing the imperial court officials......"
"I don't believe that Brother Sun Yun would do this!" Fang Zhenshi's side, Sun Yun's good brother, Dong Yu, a disciple of Qingmo Villa, also responded, "Brother Sun Yun's personality is very clear to me, at such a critical time, he will not do such a ridiculous thing as killing the imperial court officials-"
"I think so too......" On the other side, Gu Xingkang, a disciple of Mingjian Villa, also said, "Although it is said that in the past, Young Master Sun and the Mengyuan court were incompatible, but now his true identity is the second son of the Chatai family...... And taking a step back, Young Master Sun cares about the people of the world, and now it is not the Mengyuan Imperial Court that is making things difficult for the people, but the hateful guys of the 'Ming Fu Sect', even if they really want to kill people, Young Master Sun's goal should be them!"
"But I heard that Chen Yin of the Prison Military Mansion was bribed by thieves and leaked the military intelligence of the Dadu Imperial Court......" On the side, Cheng Fu, a disciple of Mingjian Villa, suddenly mentioned.
"It means that the reason why King Chatai died in battle was because of Chen Yin's betrayal and ......betrayal," Hua Yehan also followed up and said concentratingly, "In this way, if all this is really done by Young Master Sun, then his purpose is not only to eradicate traitors for the imperial court, but more importantly, to avenge his dead father......"
"But no matter what, people can't be resurrected after death, and poor Chatai Wang and his loyalists died under the enemy's sword like this......" Fang Zhenshi sighed again.
"Yes...... "Hua Ye Han also followed and said, "The war is cruel, even the King of Chatai, who is widely supported by the people, is not spared, these hateful fellows of the 'Ming Fu Sect', especially their sect leader He Xunyi, I must let him pay for his blood debts if he has the chance!"
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was talking about the discussion, and the sound of a cart suddenly sounded outside the door - I saw a white-robed Taoist covering his face, holding a crystal ball slowly past, and finally stopped in front of the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, looking at Hua Yehan and Fang Zhenshi and others sitting at the door with strange eyes.
Don't think about it, who else is there besides the "prophet" Bu Tianxing?
But Hua Yehan and the others didn't know each other, what the president Yang Zhengming saw, looked at him dressed as a fortune teller, and looked at the crystal ball in the other party's hand, knowing that he knew the art of divination, so he raised his voice and asked: "Now that most of the wars are frequent, and the people in the city are worried about food and clothing, what are you doing when you come to our Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce at this time as a fortune teller?"
"I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing ......" Bu Tianxing smiled coldly, still saying in that contemptuous tone, "I am the 'prophet' Bu Tianxing, just now I was contemptible to pass through here, and when I heard your discussion, I simply wanted to inform you of some things......
"Circulars and self-proclaimed 'prophets'...... Do you know who we are, actually talking to us in such a tone-" Lei Zhengfeng, a disciple of Mingjian Mountain Villa, heard this, and his heart was full of displeasure, and he stepped forward and asked with a shout.
"Eh......" Hua Yehan was still relatively calm, and stopped Lei Zhengfeng with his hand.
"In today's troubled times, I don't know what Your Excellency is here alone, what is the so-called matter, and what does the 'announcement' mean?" Fang Zhenshi was also calm, wondering what the other party's purpose was, so he asked politely first.
"Sure enough, the owner of Fang Zhuang is polite and willing to listen to contemptible words...... Bu Tianxing seemed to have an unhurried expression, and under his strange face, he smiled coldly.
"You actually know me?" Fang Zhenshi Bu Tianxing couldn't help but be surprised when he knew himself.
"Everyone is divided into generations, and everyone can be counted as contemptible, whether it is Mingjian Villa or Qingmo Villa, everyone can know the roots...... Bu Tianxing continued to sneer.
"You said you could figure us out and use divination, don't laugh at the dead-" Gu Xingkang was a little unconvinced on the side, and replied in an echo.
"Believe it or not, these things don't matter anyway......" Bu Tianxing didn't care about this, and returned to the main topic and said, "What I'm going to tell you today is the news about Taiyun, the young chief inspector of the Dart Bureau......"
"Do you know the whereabouts of Brother Sun Yun?" Dong Yu couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"Yes, the Prison Master Chen Yin you just mentioned did die at the hands of Cha Tai Yun—" Bu Tianxing said slowly......
