Chapter 178: Water Moon Temple
After Zhou Dunyu and Wang Xiaojie met Duan Qianqiu and Lu Bangyan, Zhou Dunyu told Duan Qianqiu about Cai Yueru's request. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Duan Qianqiu said without hesitation: "If what she said is true, why is it difficult to spare her from dying?"
Zhou Dunyu glanced at Duan Qianqiu and said, "Lord Duan, you are the person who ignores the rules of officialdom the most I have ever seen, but you are the person who has done the highest official position." ”
Duan Qianqiu said with a smile: "Lord Zhou's words seem to mean something else, and please give me advice." ”
Zhou Dunyu said: "Brother Bang Yan should also be very clear about this matter, why don't you persuade Master Duan?"
Lu Bangyan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I know to persuade him, but he won't listen, so he just doesn't bother to talk about it." ”
"Alas," Zhou Dunyu said: "Lord Duan, although you and I are just colleagues and don't have much friendship, but Zhou admires your personality, so I still have to tell you these words." Do you know how much of a crime Cai Yueru has committed?"
"The crime is so evil that it can be punished by the family. Duan Qianqiu said without thinking.
"Not only that, but the women she helped kidnap are not ordinary people, some of them will feel ashamed of their families because of this case, so even if Cai Yueru is good at dancing with long sleeves, this time she will definitely be beheaded. And the imperial court will also be forced to execute Cai Yueru under pressure from all sides. But Lord Duan, if you promise to keep Cai Yueru, you will definitely not lose her in the future, and then you will naturally have grudges with all forces, and the resistance of these officialdoms will hinder Lord Duan's future promotion a lot, and please think twice. Zhou Dunyu said.
Duan Qianqiu saw that Zhou Dunyu, a silent person, would say so many dissuasive words because he was worried about his future, knowing that he must regard himself as a friend, so he was moved in his heart, so he hugged his fists and thanked Zhou Dunyu: "Lord Zhou, Duan has been taught here, but if she doesn't agree to Cai Yueru, she knows that the death penalty is inevitable, and she will resist to the end." Even if we were able to pry her mouth open in the end, we were afraid that it would be a few days later, and it was difficult to predict how the situation would change. It is also unknown whether anything will happen to those missing girls. For today's plan, saving talents first is a crucial matter, Duan has never cared about official promotions, even if he is dismissed, he has no complaints. Master Zhou doesn't have to worry about me. ”
"Okay, Zhou admires you. Zhou is waiting here, and I will obey whatever Master Duan commands. Zhou Dunyu said with admiration on his face.
Duan Qianqiu walked to Cai Yueru's carriage, lifted the curtain, and said solemnly to Cai Yueru: "Miss Yueru, I have agreed to your request." It's just that your intelligence should be worthy of this promise, if you have something to hide, Duan Mou will know it at a glance, don't blame me for being ruthless at that time. ”
Cai Yueru said lightly: "Yueru has no choice. Lord Duan, please rest assured. I also hope that Lord Duan will not bear me. ”
"The famous Snake King Sen, are you also afraid that others will regret it?" Duan Qianqiu said with a smile.
"The meat is on the anvil, and I'm not a snake king anymore. Cai Yueru said gloomily.
Duan Qianqiu looked at her deeply and asked, "Say, where is it?"
"In a place where you've all been!" Cai Yueru said.
......
Qingyun Poetry Society!
On the side of the door of a firewood room in the poetry society, after moving all kinds of firewood and grass, there was a wall, Cai Yueru twisted a few times on a stone in the corner of the wall, only to hear the faint sound of rolling on the wall, Cai Yueru pressed the stone down again. The wall opened, revealing a doorway to the ground.
Duan Qianqiu held the torch and said to Cai Yueru, "Is the blood rain and flying frost also in there?"
Cai Yueru shook her head and said, "I don't know what blood rain and frost are, our snake gang is only responsible for sending people from here to Shuiyue Nunnery." ”
"Shuiyue Nunnery, Yehuang City has this place?"
"Yes. underground. ”
"Okay, you lead the way. ”
Along the stone gate into a winding stone staircase road, leading to the underground, Duan Qianqiu took Cai Yueru to walk in front, Zhou Dunyu, Lu Bangyan. Wang Xiaojie followed closely, accompanied by a group of selected Qianniuwei who were proficient in night warfare and the masters of the Criminal Arrest Division.
I don't know how long I walked in the stone path, and the dripping water inside occasionally fell on the torches, making a "snort" sound, and everyone's heartstrings were in a gloom, tense.
Duan Qianqiu used his true qi to run all over his body, raising the perception of every inch of skin to the extreme, and there was no other person's breath in the cave except for his own people.
Gradually, the sound of running water was heard.
Cai Yueru said softly: "There is a dark river in front, take a small boat, and you can dock at Shuiyue Nunnery." ”
Duan Qianqiu sighed secretly in his heart: "In order to make waves in Yehuang City, the Illusory Demon Palace really spent a lot of money, and I don't know how much it will cost to dig such a huge underground passage?"
Everyone went down the stone steps to the side of the dark river, and under the light of the torches, they were presented in front of everyone a large space made of artificially excavated stone chambers, and along the stone wall, there was a water canal about two zhang wide, like a moat. The water was bottomless, and the water poured in from the inlet at one end of the stone chamber and flowed silently to the deep hole carved out at the other end of the stone chamber.
There are four small boats in the river, each with about seven or eight people, with oars on board.
Duan Qianqiu left five people to guard a small boat in the same place, and then asked the two of them to go back the same way to ask for backup, and agreed that if two hours later, no one came out, he would ask reinforcements to enter Shuiyue Nunnery from this waterway to carry out rescue.
The rest of the people got on three small boats and drifted down the tunnel.
The tunnel was extremely dark, and in the place where the torch could not be illuminated, the five fingers could not be seen, and after a while, Cai Yueru said softly: "Put out the torch, it's almost time to reach the Water Moon Temple." ”
The torches were extinguished, and the three boats were plunged into boundless darkness at once, rippling with the current, flowing into the unknown darkness.
After a while, there was a glimmer of light in front of the ship.
Duan Qianqiu whispered to Cai Yueru, "Have you arrived?"
Cai Yueru nodded in the dark.
Duan Qianqiu had been by her side all the time, and at this time he grabbed her jade arm with his hand, which was soft, but her body was trembling gently.
"What are you afraid of?"
Cai Yueru's teeth trembled lightly and said, "He's here......"
Seeing that Cai Yueru had led the Snake Gang to crisscross the underworld for so many years, Duan Qianqiu secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be that the blood rain and frost are here, but why can't the true qi in his body sense any danger!"
Duan Qianqiu didn't know what Cai Yueru meant by her words, so she asked, "Who is he?"
Cai Yueru pointed to the outline of the nunnery in front of hermitage, which was emerging more and more clearly under the light mapping, and said, "Look, the peach blossom under that nunnery!"
"He's coming......" she murmured. (To be continued.) )
