Chapter 424: Addiction (I)
Seeing the fire coming from the direction of Joy Villa from afar, Cao Yi's heart slammed up. He was vaguely aware of what was happening, and he crooked and almost fell off his horse.
For today's emperor suddenly set up a banquet to invite him, Cao Yi was a little strange. Although Zhao Heng admired his entertainment talent many times, he even gave him the title of Marquis of Joy because of this. But Cao Yi could see that Zhao Heng had never regarded him as his confidant. Because Zhao Heng is not a mediocre monarch who is addicted to pleasure, he knows that he and Cao Yi are not fellow travelers. Therefore, tonight's inexplicable dinner party made Cao Yi a little confused.
Especially Zhao Ling's sudden appearance during the banquet surprised Cao Yi even more. Carefully observing the performance of Zhao Heng and Zhao Ling, Cao Yi understood at least one thing, it turned out that they had always regarded it as a big secret, and the mystery of Zhao Ling's identity was not worth mentioning at all in Zhao Heng. Since the emperor doesn't care, this matter is not a matter. No wonder Zhao Heng didn't have doubts about Chen Ao, no wonder Liu Dongquan would be defeated.
While Cao Yi was glad that he didn't get involved in this matter, he couldn't help but feel even more strange about tonight's banquet. When he realized that Zhao Ling was doing everything possible to delay time, Cao Yi finally understood that Zhao Ling wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain. And her purpose can only be one, and that is to go to Joy Hill to save people!
Although he is very confident in the defense of Joy Villa, Cao Yi is still not at ease. finally ended the dinner and said goodbye to Zhao Heng and left the palace. I didn't go far before I ran into Elder Mo and the others. Cao Yi saw that Elder Mo was carrying all the masters under him, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.
Only then did Elder Mo understand the plan, and he was in one place with Cao Yi, and hurriedly rushed back. As soon as I left the city, I saw the flames in the direction of Joy Villa. Cao Yi wasn't worried about anything else, he just didn't worry about the Blissful Scatter he refined. He said fiercely: "Chen Ao, if they go back to the city, this is the only way to go!"
Elder Mo understood what he meant, and immediately arranged for men to ambush him on the road. Cao Yi only returned with a few people, and when he walked further, he met the guests who hurried down the mountain. These people are either powerful or rich, and they cherish their lives immensely. Although the riots at Joy Hills did not cause any serious consequences, not even a single house was burned down. But they did not dare to linger any longer, and hurried back.
Cao Yi went against the flow of people and finally rushed to the mountain. The stewards of each courtyard saw the owner of the village and hurried forward to report it. They were afraid that Cao Yi would blame them, so they could only say that they reacted in time and did not let the thieves cause too much loss.
Cao Yi pushed away the two people in front of him and went straight to the secret room. He secretly prayed that even the steward of Joy Hill would not know about his stone chamber. There's no reason why Chen Ao's men would find it.
When he stood in front of the stone house blackened by the fire, he realized that he had thought too beautifully. The chamber is made of stone and cannot be burned. But the contents had apparently been reduced to ashes.
Cao Yi's lips trembled and said, "Mobilize manpower and block all the intersections back to the city! Don't catch Chen Ao, don't come back to see me!"
At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping out of the city. Long Qingping was driving, and in the carriage, Chen Ao was leaning on Liang Xiaoya weakly and began to talk nonsense again.
As soon as they had escaped from the Joyful Lodge and were condescending, they saw a group of men galloping out of the city with torches in their hands. You don't have to think about it to know that these people must be Cao Yi who got the message. Chen Ao knew that he had ruined Cao Yi's plan again, but he was afraid that this time Cao Yi would want to cramp and skin him.
If he returns to the capital at this time, he will undoubtedly collide head-on with Cao Yi. His own manpower is not enough for Cao Yi to fight his teeth. So Chen Ao immediately made a decision and ordered Feng Hu and Qin Lang to take people to hide in the crowd of fleeing guests, break into pieces, and blur Cao Yi's sight. And he definitely can't go back to Beijing, so he simply fled in the opposite direction, avoiding this gust of limelight first.
Originally, he wanted the girls around him to run away with Feng Hu and the others, but Liang Xiaoya had to stay and take care of him. Long Qingping, as Chen Ao's bodyguard, naturally couldn't leave alone. And Yun Lu's appearance was too eye-catching, so she had to run away with Chen Ao.
The four men grabbed a carriage and ran to the foot of the mountain towards the deserted mountain. At this time, Chen Ao felt that his addiction to cigarettes was about to attack, and his brain became more and more confused. Long Qingping didn't recognize the path, and plunged headlong into the deep mountains, and lost his way.
I don't know how long I ran, Liang Xiaoya suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop, stop......"
Long Qingping pulled the reins, and the carriage barely stopped on the gravel mountain road. The horse pulling the cart was panting, and he was afraid that if he kept going, he would run to death. Long Qingping lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liang Xiaoya looked at her with an anxious face, at a loss. Long Qingping looked at Chen Ao in her arms and couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw Chen Ao crying together, the expression on his face was very painful, and a low roar of "ho ho" came out of his throat, as if he was experiencing extreme pain.
Liang Xiaoya really had no choice, so she called to stop. Yunlu had already jumped out of the car, trying to find some water. Long Qingping pressed her palm on Chen Ao's vest and slowly entered the internal force. Chen Ao's spirit was shocked and he sobered up a little. But he was neither injured nor poisoned. Long Qingping's method of treating internal injuries could not alleviate the desire to penetrate into the bone marrow in Chen Ao's heart at all.
Yunlu tore off her clothes, soaked them in the stream not far away, and used them to wipe Chen Ao's face. But apparently it doesn't work out very well either. Chen Ao suddenly danced wildly with his hands and feet, and roared in a trembling voice. His speech was slurred, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting.
The three women were helpless. Suddenly, there was a "snap", and a small porcelain bottle in Chen Ao's cuffs fell on the carriage board, which turned out to be the Bliss they had just destroyed. It turned out that in the stone room, after Chen Ao picked up the bottle of medicine and was sure that it was Blissan powder, he put it in his sleeve pocket. At that time, he was not addicted to smoking, and his mind was still quite clear, and he knew that keeping this kind of thing would not only harm others, but also harm himself, so he ordered people to burn all the Bliss. He forgot that he had a bottle hidden in his sleeve.
Chen Ao saw the porcelain vase at a glance, as if he had been reborn, and suddenly broke free of a few people and snatched the porcelain vase on the ground. The great pain made him lose his mind, and he poured out a few pills with a shake of his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Fire...... Fire Folds ......"
The three girls didn't know why, and looked at each other. Long Qingping walked alone on the rivers and lakes for a long time, but she had a fire fold on her body, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to Chen Ao. Chen Ao hurriedly blew on the fire and lit the pills. A puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the carriage, and the three girls were caught off guard and choked.
Chen Ao's sanity regained a trace of clarity, and he knew that he couldn't let them suck this kind of thing, so he didn't say much, pushed the three of them out of the carriage, lowered the curtain, and immediately took a big breath......
