Chapter 5: The Vent of the Sacrificial Hall (Part II)

Yeluqi stared at them and said, "Why don't you speak, if you are wrong, you can explain." Luo Tianchu sighed bitterly and said, "The county lord is not wrong, we are indeed here for the treasure, and we are deeply guilty for telling lies for this, and we have failed the favor of the prince and the county lord." Yeluqi's deep gaze seemed to see him through, and he said word for word: "Who are you?" Luo Tianchu said: "In Xia Lin Xiuwen, he is also a thief in the mouth of His Highness." Ye Luqi sneered: "Don't you tell the truth at this time?" Luo Tianchu thought that it was for your own good not to tell the truth, and to let Wanyan Wushu know that you had taken in Luo Tianchu, and you couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. His silence made Yeluqi even more angry, and she pointed to the door and said, "I will not allow liars and thieves to defile my mother's shrine here. Get out!" Zhu Yushi glanced at Luo Tianchu, who understood that he wanted to capture Yeluqi as a hostage, so that Yeluqi could win the rat trap. He shook his head and rejected the proposal, and walked out of the cabin first. I only heard Yeluqi say behind him: "If you just fly away like this, I will only look down on you even more." ”

On the way, Zhu Yushi said: "I can't stay, let's withdraw tonight." Luo Tianchu shook his head and said, "We won't go." Zhu Yushi was surprised and said: "Don't you leave, the county lord already knows our purpose, and soon the prince will also know, the prince will definitely sell us to Wanyan Wushu in order to clear himself, don't take chances, the prince can even compromise the marriage of the county lord, will he commit the crime of killing our heads? Staying is just sitting still." Don't pay attention to the last words of the county lord, she is agitated and deliberately delays time. Luo Tianchu was indifferent when he heard this, and said slowly but firmly: "I have made up my mind, and I will not leave." But you guys can go. Zhu Yushi sighed: "You...... Ay...... If you don't go, how can I go, say, what do you want to do. Luo Tianchu said: "Tomorrow I will explain the truth to the prince, even if I am a thief, I must be a thief above board." Zhu Yushi smiled bitterly and said: "What if the prince wants to kill us?" Luo Tianchu said: "Of course I won't be killed, do you support me?" Zhu Yushi sighed: "Who made you the owner of the castle, the little one can only obey his fate." Luo Tianchu scolded with a smile: "you, make me happy at this time." ”

That night, Luo Tianchu told everyone what had just happened and the new plan, and to his surprise, no one objected. They have all lost faith in the treasure hunt, so it doesn't matter if they let the Yelu father and daughter know. Zhao Hengshan likes to be lively the most, and he doesn't want to miss tomorrow's good show, Liu Shaoqing is a conceited person and will never escape the challenge, and Li Xiao obeys the arrangement of the castle owner. The focus of the discussion has shifted from the treasure hunt to the head of the Wanyan Vulture and how to get out.

That night they meditated with their clothes and entered a state of readiness for war, and if Yeluying knew about the capture of them later, he would have to evacuate in advance. Who knew that the night was quiet and calm. However, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings, and this day is destined to not be simple. When the dawn shone through the thin cracks of the window like silver needles, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, only to hear Wang Lihu shouting: "Your ministers are disturbed, the prince invites you to the hall to discuss matters." "Luo Tianchu thought that it was a plan? Ambush a good knife and axe hand to catch turtles in an urn? I'm afraid that this trick won't work. He didn't want Wang Lihu to find out that he didn't sleep in wide clothes, so he delayed: "Please wait, I want to get dressed and washed." Wang Lihu said: "Xianggong is not in a hurry, the villain is waiting downstairs." Luo Tianchu wiped his face, walked around the room a few times, and picked up the long sword on the couch. After thinking about it, he put the sword back and walked out empty-handed. The others also went out of the room one after another, and Li Xiao saw that none of them were carrying weapons, so he also put the ghost head knife back.

Wang Lihu greeted everyone downstairs and saluted: "Are you resting?" Luo Tianchu kept observing his face, and found that there was nothing unusual, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the prince got up early today." Wang Lihu said: "Maybe the prince wants to talk to you before the four princes arrive at noon." Liu Shaoqing said: "Are the four princes coming at noon? How do you know?" Wang Lihu said: "This morning, an entourage of the four princes came to the house to inform them, saying that the four princes would arrive at noon, and also told the prince that there was no need to go out of the city to greet him, and he didn't need to send someone to guide the way, and they came to visit on their own. The chief steward said that this was a high honor, and it seemed that the four princes were sincere about this family business. ”

Luo Tianchu thought that he was already in the city, so of course he didn't need to greet him. Liu Shaoqing asked again: "What is the entourage who sent the letter called?" Wang Lihu thought for a while and said: "It seems that the surname is Ding, and the name is Ding Mo." Liu Shaoqing and Luo Tianchu glanced at each other, and Ding Mo, the "Scholar of the Divine Pen", was one of the seven people who attacked Liu Shaoqing on the outskirts of Chang'an. Sure enough, they all worked in the Wanyan Vultures.

When they followed Wang Lihu past the second floor of the courtyard, they saw that the nurses were holding wooden basins to fetch water by the well to wash, looking like they had just gotten up in a daze. Shimo Furukawa, who was shirtless, only nodded at Zhu Yu when he saw them, and the others ignored them, splashed the water in the basin and turned into the house. Everyone felt a little relieved, thinking that the nursing home was here, and it seemed that there would be no ambush in the hall.

Yeluying sat on the Taishi's chair with a haggard face, listlessly drinking a cup of bitter tea, and it seemed that he had not slept all night. As soon as Luo Tianchu entered the hall, he secretly observed, and found that there was indeed no ambush, and Yeluqi didn't seem to know yet, didn't Yeluqi tell him?

Yeluqi did not attend, and the girl to be married was not allowed to leave the boudoir until she was married. Ye Luzhi was greeting Ding Mo, who was wearing a brand-new red brocade robe, with the ribbon on his head and the belt around his waist red, looking beaming, and a brand-new iron judge's pen was inserted at his waist, replacing the one lost in the forest. He couldn't stop looking at Luo Tianchu and the others since they entered the room, trying to find out the traces of disappearance from their faces, but Gao Xuan's human skin mask was amazing, and he couldn't find a flaw after looking at it for a long time, so he had to step forward and salute with his fists.

Ye Luzhi introduced: "This is the messenger of the Four Princes, the Ding Moding hero known as the 'Divine Pen Scholar' by the people of the rivers and lakes. Luo Tianchu and the others arched their hands and said: "Long admiration, long admiration." Ding Mo smiled: "Don't dare to be." Ye Luzhi introduced Liu Shaoqing and said: "This is the prince's distinguished guest, Xiao Nianzu Xiao Zhuang Master." Ding Mo stared at Liu Shaoqing's face and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I haven't walked around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I haven't heard of the deeds of Master Xiao." Liu Shaoqing smiled and said: "I'm just a businessman, it would be strange if Ding Daxia heard about it." Although Ding Mo had heard Liu Shaoqing's voice, he had forgotten it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are a master in the world, and the head of the suitable Yelu praised you for your high skills, and you are also a martial arts person, I don't know if you can feast your eyes on the next one?" Liu Shaoqing smiled: "It's all useless tricks, and I don't dare to get an axe." ”

Ding Mo snorted and said, "Your Excellency is too modest, you still don't know the name of your village, where is the mountain gate, if there is an incurable disease in the future, you can also know where to seek medical treatment." "Luo Tianchu wanted to find out, their fake identities were all made by Liu Shaoqing, if he didn't hesitate to answer, he would be seen by Ding Mo, the old Jianghu.

Liu Shaoqing replied casually: "The name of the village is Yaowangzhuang, which is located in Gusu Sanfeng Island, Nanxiang Valley, and Wuyue Forest, and the local islanders all know about it. Brother Ding is welcome to come to the village as a guest and enjoy the beauty of Taihu Lake. Ding Mo saw that he answered in such detail, so he said, "Okay, I will definitely bother in the future." Afterwards, Luo Tianchu learned that the name of the villa and the identities of the people were not fabricated by Liu Shaoqing, and he did have a distant cousin named Xiao Nianzu, who was the owner of the Medicine King Village. This owner of Xiao Zhuang loves to travel the most, as little as a few months, as much as a year, and the affairs of the house are taken care of by his wife Qin. The real Xiao Nianzu always uses a pseudonym when he travels, no one knows his true identity, and the four family members accompanying him are Lin Xiuwen, Lin Xiuwu brothers, as well as Li Gui and Guo Zijun. When Liu Shaoqing left Chang'an, he had written to Yaowangzhuang, saying that he was going to impersonate his cousin for a while, and asked his sister-in-law to cooperate. So even if someone really asked, they couldn't ask why. The only loophole is that the martial arts of the real Xiao Nianzu and the family members are by no means as clever as the impostors, but who knows? )
