Si State, Losha City.

Mu Mansion, in Mu Qingnong's study.

The snow had stopped, but the sky was still overcast, making the study a little dark. Mu Qingnong was in his fifties, with a thin figure and a waxy yellow face, and at this moment he was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping water. His eldest son, Mu Zhenwei, is in his thirties, with a square face, two short haircuts on his upper lip and neatly trimmed, and he is standing aside with his hands down with a heavy face, looking at Mu Qingnong's back.

"Stupid, he doesn't care much about such a big thing, he acts rashly, and thinks he has a plan. Now, I'm afraid the whole world knows about it......!

Mu Qingnong said as if muttering to himself, but the green tendons on his temples jumped suddenly, revealing the agitation of his mood at this time.

"Father, my brother is because you have been in poor health, and after knowing about this matter, this is why you ......" Mu Zhenwei said softly in a low voice.

"I know, I know ......" Turning around, with a somewhat tired sigh, Mu Qingnong reached out and clicked on the desk, where there was a letter lying on it.

"After receiving this letter, I knew that something was wrong, and I urgently ordered Mu Wu to stop it, but it was finally a step too late. Alas, your brother deliberately sent the letter back to the second day, thinking that he was afraid that I would stop him, but how could he afford such a big event, and finally throw his life away in this matter......"

Walking slowly to the desk and sitting down, he looked at the letter on the table with a dazed look, sighed and continued:

"Immortal medicine, what do I want immortal medicine for? What do I want to live so long? I just want you to live well, you live well, I have enough for everything, and I don't lack anything!"

Tears finally dripped down from the side of his eyes, flowed over his yellow face, and dripped onto the letter......

Mu Zhenwei had already burst into tears, and he said hatefully: "I will definitely find the murderer of my third brother and break him into ten thousand pieces!"

"The murderer is easy to find, but I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him. Those who have the ability to intervene in this matter so quickly, there are only a few people in the entire empire......"

After raising his hand and wiping his eyes, and pondering for a moment, Mu Qingnong raised his head and said to Mu Zhenwei:

"You go, find someone to spread this matter in the capital. Remember, don't mention your brother, the focus is on the 'elixir', know how?"

"Yes, I'll do it. Gritting his teeth fiercely, Mu Zhenwei bowed and retreated.

"Hmph, I can't kill you, and I have to bite you. Immortal medicine, is the immortal medicine so delicious to the mouth?"

Mu Qingnong looked out the window, and a cold light burst out of his eyes.

......

Beijing, Lin'an.

The second prince's mansion, in the study of Gu Shitai.

The chess pieces in his hand "snapped" and fell on the chessboard, the smile instantly froze on his face, he turned his head little by little, tilted his head and looked at the gray-shirted old man kneeling on the ground, that "Mr. Yao".

"Yao Qingshan, I value you very much, you usually eat and drink well, and you never dare to treat you badly. Good fellow, if you want to do something, you dare to tell me that it's a mess! Someone snatched it! Okay...... Very good ......"

The cold words smashed over like a puddle of ice slag, making the atmosphere in the room instantly cold.

"Lord Wang, it's the subordinates who are not doing things well, the subordinates, there is nothing to say!"

Yao Qingshan knelt up straight, simply straightened his waist, raised his eyes to look at the prince, and said with a calm and quiet face - now, stretching his head is a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, looking down on life and death, he faces everything calmly.

"You ......"

"Lord Wang, don't be in a hurry to get angry, there is still room for redemption in this matter, isn't it?"

Sitting opposite the prince was a middle-aged man, in his forties, dressed in a green robe, with an ordinary face, only a pair of eyes as clear as a baby's eyes, which made people unforgettable. At this moment, he leaned back in his chair and said in a light tone.

Turning his head, Gu Shitai arched his hand, with a hint of respect in his tone, and said, "The mountain lord is right, thanks to the pursuit of the disciples, this matter did not cause the person to disappear." ”

The mountain lord smiled faintly and said: "'Qifeng Mountain' has been in the world for a long time, and the apprentice doesn't know how many talents there are in the world! ”

"Always thank the Order. ”

Gu Shitai said, turned to look at Yao Qingshan, the look in his eyes was uncertain, and after a long time, he said coldly:

"Give you a chance to get things back together. If you mess it up again, I'll smash you! Hmm, transfer the five 'red belt guards', you can choose for yourself, go ahead!"

A metal token is thrown on the ground.

"Yes!"

With a long breath, he picked up the token and bowed deeply - people, after all, are afraid of death!

After Yao Qingshan retreated, Gu Shitai walked out of the door, turned his head to look west, and there, a mountain range loomed -

Danluo Mountains!

......

Izumo Prefecture, Yunniang Town.

Yun Niang Town, formerly known as Shuowang Town, is said to have the daughter of this town, Yun Niang, who was taken away by the immortals to learn immortals. Once, the town was attacked by monsters, heavy losses, critical moments, Yun Niang fell from the sky, saved the people in fire and water, descendants admired its kindness, renamed Yun Niang Town.

Yunniang Town is located in the southwest of "Izumo Prefecture", with a population of no less than 50,000, and is a rare large town in the empire.

A strange thing happened in the town today, and the pedestrians on the street were watching in front of a shop, and there was a lot of discussion:

"Yo, I've seen people robbing money, robbing things, robbing food, robbing girls, and I haven't seen anyone robbing books, but today is an eye-opener!"

"Yes, you said that this book can't be eaten or worn, what are you doing with this thing, do you want to burn the fire?!"

"Maybe, it's so cold this day, it snowed a few days ago, maybe it's crazy, grab a few books and burn them. ”

"you, dry branches and straw are everywhere, you don't need to burn it for money. You think everyone is as stupid as you are. ”

"Ahem, ahem, isn't this okay to talk about? I said, daughter-in-law, can you save face in front of outsiders?"

"Look at your ......"

It's a couple having a conversation.

"It's a matter of someone who has done this! I've long wanted to rob this bird shop, and I usually go in to take a look, and ask if the store has a 'Spring Palace Map' for sale, and I dare to slant my mouth and crooked face, and see if you will bombard me next time!"

It's a ruffian talking.

"It's insulting, it's really insulting, if you can't afford to buy books, you can ask me to borrow them, how can you do this! Although I don't have many books...... Well, then again, the books in this bookstore are a bit expensive. I don't know who did it, and I don't know if I can ask him to buy a few cheap books. ”

It's a fallen scholar talking.

......

Yunlai Inn is the largest and best inn in Yunniang Town. At this moment, in the upper room of the inn, Di Xiao was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, still wearing a silver shirt, his hair was neatly combed and coiled into a bun, and he was tightly tied with a hairband. It was the first time in five days that he was able to take a shower and clean himself up.

"It's been five days, and that damn guy is like a loach, slippery, and he does everything he can to keep him from getting lost. Fortunately, he didn't get into the lush primeval forest of the 'Dangluo Mountains', I heard that there were demon beasts there, otherwise, he wouldn't have followed up?"

Thinking secretly in his heart, his face was yin and yang, and the smile that seemed to be there was long gone, leaving only a haze on his face.

There was a knock on the door, and Yao Qingshan changed into a green robe and appeared at the door.

"How's it going, what did you find?" asked Di Xiao with eager eyes.

"It should be him, in the early hours of the morning, broke into the door and grabbed a batch of books. He was seen as of medium build, ragged and bloodstained on his left chest. That's right, it's him. ”

Yao Qingshan entered the room and sat down, looked at Di Xiao, and said in a calm voice.

"Grab books? Why? Don't run away when you have time, do these meaningless things. Di Xiao asked to himself.

"Judging by his previous contacts, he is quite cunning and will never do anything meaningless. ”
