After Waking up Beside the Villain - Chapter 204
The eighth on the shocking list, half-step travel fairy Li Feichen sits at Longzhang Waterfall?
This is completely unexpected news for Chu Yunsheng.
Half-step travel to the fairy body.
You must know that Half-Step Immortal is an extraordinary person who has stepped into fairyland with one foot. Since the Imperial Palace and Shangjing are not enough, how can they be dispatched to a small Jinling City?
But if Mu Yuexin wasn’t stupid, she would never make fun of this.
If this matter is true, then the dragon veins of the Zheng family or Longzhang Waterfall are not ordinary to Li Wu, and they are of great significance. Going to Longzhang Waterfall to investigate, will face the half-step wandering fairy. Xie Zixuan and Feng Yu Er Lao are also at stake!
Chu Yunsheng felt anxious.
However, it has been a long time since the three of them decided to split up. Judging from Xie Zixuan’s resolute style, they should have arrived near Longzhang Waterfall with the wind and rain. It was too late to tell Xie Chengyun to stop him.
If you can’t stop it, you can only think of a rescue plan.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yuexin, who was opposite him, his thoughts were spinning, his face changed greatly, his eyes showed obvious fear, and he blurted out: “Oops, I, Xie Jia Dingdan, didn’t know about this, and went to Longzhang Waterfall to investigate!”
Mu Yuexin had already caught a glimpse of the truth from Chu Yunsheng’s expression, she was not surprised at all, but rather smiled happily: “Then this is not just to catch up with the reincarnation. ?”
At the moment, I can’t take care of Mu Yuexin’s grievance and hatred. I begged: “Senior Mu, my Xie family Dingdan must not have an accident. Please help me in this matter.”
“Ask for this seat?”
Mu Yuexin’s eyes rolled: “Little girl, I’m just a Dingdan, how can I resist half-step wandering? Non-quantity or magic weapons can fill in.”
If it wasn’t for the scene of Mu Yuexin’s shot from Xie Zixuan’s eavesdropping first, Chu Yunsheng would have believed her words.
Mu Yuexin may be in a strange state and has not really entered the realm of Immortals, but she will never be an ordinary Dingdan.
Chu Yunsheng tried his best to calm down, and smiled bitterly: “Senior Mu is joking. You were a famous Dingdan powerhouse twenty years ago. Without an inch of progress, this junior is really hard to believe. The reason why the eighth on the shocking list fell on Li Feichen’s head is probably just because Senior Mu doesn’t bother to compete.”
“What’s more, if the principal of my Xie family in Jinling City fails, then the cooperation between us is afraid that it will break down immediately.”
“This cooperation is not successful. It is neither the seniors nor my Xie family who will benefit. Only Li Wu is alone. How can this be reconciled?”
“It is true that Senior Mu, you have superb skills and extraordinary skills, but you are here alone and have never dared to act rashly. You also know that the situation here is difficult to be heard by yourself, and it is difficult to break it. What you can do is to Only those forces involved in Ji Ling, if you lose the Xie family, even you, may not be able to retreat in this Jinling City full of Li Wu chess pieces, but can retreat completely, which makes Li Wu impossible to steal chickens Eclipse Baomi’s plan, I’m afraid it won’t work either.”
Seeing Mu Yuexin’s expression of contemplation, Chu Yunsheng added the last fire: “Senior Mu, you are a smart person, you should know who is the most reliable ally in this Jinling City. What’s more, when you help me and save my Xie family Dingdan, my Xie family is naturally very grateful, in my Xie family’s view, no treasure is more important than the lives of the clan.”
When she heard the word treasure, Mu Yuexin’s intentions became more obvious, but her face was frowning, and she sneered: “Don’t say that this seat covets your treasures. “
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunsheng knew that Mu Yuexin had already agreed.
In other words, Mu Yuexin planned to promise Chu Yunsheng to save people.
When Chu Yunsheng mentioned the Longzhang Waterfall, it was not difficult to guess that the Xie family had already investigated and planned to further investigate the vicinity of the waterfall, so she deliberately proposed that Li Feichen was sitting in the Longzhang Waterfall, In order to test the reaction of the Xie family, and use the act of kindness to kill two birds with one stone, not only has the cooperation of the Xie family, but also achieved the purpose of plotting a certain treasure of the Xie family.
Chu Yunsheng even suspected that she had been doing this plan since the beginning of her active contact with her.
This is a conspiracy.
In any case, at least the immediate crisis must be overcome before we can talk about anything else. As for the treasure gift, it is best to leave it to the Xie parents to discuss.
Chu Yunsheng is by no means a hesitant, looking forward and backward person. After knowing the joints, he immediately made the eager appearance that a young man should have, and said with all his mouth: “Senior Mu, save me Xie Jiading. Dan, I thank the family for the gift of thanks, which is what it should be.”
Seeing this, Mu Yuexin shook her head and said suddenly, “Yes, it’s useless for me to tell you this junior, you promised to get a good deal, but you said no. Forget it. But compared to the price that Li Youzhen offered for a hundred sword bones, this seat is much more kind, and I am not afraid that your Xie family will not agree.”
“Forget it, since you need to be rescued, it’s not easy to linger.”
Speaking, Mu Yuexin raised her skirt, took out a roll of booklets from her sleeve and placed it on the table, looking at Chu Yunsheng: “It’s one thing, one code is one code, this is I just exchanged the secret puppet technique with your dragon veins, take it back and take a look. Zheng Yuchen has only a lot of doubts about you, if there is nothing else, go back to the Zheng family quickly.”
“The rescue went well, and in an hour, we can meet on the boat in the heart of the lake at the back door of the Zheng family.”
Chu Yunsheng glanced at the volume of book, and when he looked up again, there was no one on the opposite side, only a wisp of wind drifted in from the window, accompanied by the noisy sound of the surrounding finally recovering .
Chu Yunsheng naturally cares about the hundred sword bones that Mu Yue mentioned in his heart. The interests and grievances and hatreds among the three are just the tip of the iceberg.
It was Xie Chengyun’s inconvenience to say anything more to him, and he also vaguely detected the context of the past.
But now is not the time to speculate.
Chu Yunsheng quickly got up and left the teahouse, found a secluded place nearby, flipped through the puppet secret method in the booklet, and used charcoal as a pen to compare the secret method with Longzhang Waterfall All the dangers were written on a piece of paper the size of a palm.
After finishing writing, he used True Qi to inflate the spice bag Xie Chengyun had given him before, summoned the Xie family’s messenger Tianying, divided the news into two parts, and sent it out.
These specially domesticated eagles can distinguish the subtle differences between each person’s scent and infuriating energy, so as to find people or send messages.
Xie Chengyun went out to deliver the message. I don’t know if he was in the Ning family. Compared with Chu Yunsheng’s personal search, Tianying’s message was obviously faster. As for the other message sent to Xie Zixuan, it was unknown whether it could arrive.
After doing everything that he can do now, Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to ignore Mu Yuexin’s warning to him to return to Zheng’s house quickly.
I went around the city a few times irregularly, bought some small items at the night market, and made an appearance of returning from shopping, Chu Yunsheng returned to Zheng in the first night. Family.
As soon as he entered the gate of Zheng’s house, Chu Yunsheng noticed that the house had changed, and it was very different from this morning. There are many servants who come and go in the house, and they are all very busy.
After thinking for a while, Chu Yunsheng remembered what Zheng Yuchen said about the ceremony of handing over the head of the family. It will be tomorrow, the same day as the funeral of the old head of the family. Going to a freshman, the show is very big.
“Ms. Ye, the owner of the house ordered you to send two cooks to your small kitchen. Before the stove is turned on, I will wait for you to come back for dinner.”
After walking a few steps, the old butler greeted him and offered Zheng Yuchen a service with a smile on his face.
The old housekeeper smiled and said: “Tomorrow is a big day, and there is no room for mistakes. The owner is busy checking the inside and outside of the house. If Miss Ye wants to see the owner, it will be later. already.”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng’s ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, but he had already done everything he could, and the rest could only depend on the destiny and act accordingly.
However, in addition to this, Chu Yunsheng also intends to take advantage of the chaos in this mansion to dig out the person who used the puppet secret technique.
Mu Yuexin’s booklet described this puppet secret method, which was born out of thousands of machines and nine changes, in great detail, perfecting the specious information that he and the Xie family knew.
In simple terms, when a person is seriously injured and in a trance and his mind is lost, the use of secret methods supplemented by pills can confuse the living into puppets, influence and even manipulate the mind and thoughts.
Ningshou’s situation is the latter.
In addition, the most important point is that the puppet that has been successfully bewitched cannot leave the control of the caster for a long time. Every three days, the caster will see the puppet to deepen the secret technique, otherwise the puppet will become extremely Loss of control may occur.
In other words, if Zheng Yuchen is the puppet chosen by Li Wu, and after the old family owner is violently killed, he will be put on the throne, then Zheng Yuchen will inevitably have a caster who transforms him into a puppet. People are either in Jinling City and can often meet Zheng Yuchen openly and secretly, or they are in Zheng’s house, and they will never be too far away.
Mu Yuexin told Chu Yunsheng the secret method of the puppet so quickly and simply wanted him to stir up some trouble to find this person.
It’s just that Mu Yuexin once secretly checked the Zheng family. If this person is really in the Zheng family, how can they hide from Mu Yuexin’s eyes?
of?
Chu Yunsheng thought about it, and said to the old housekeeper: “Since the Zheng family leader has something to do, it is naturally inconvenient to disturb. It’s just that the sunflower water is coming to me recently, and my qi and blood are deficient. I don’t know what the government can do. There is something to nourish blood, let me mix some powder to relieve the pain?”
Obviously, the old butler did not expect this frosty fairy to speak such private matters so calmly, and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
But after all, the old housekeeper has seen strong winds and waves, and he quickly recovered from the informality of the children in the rivers and lakes, coughing twice: “This, this is there, I don’t know what Miss Ye needs. What medicine?”
“May I choose it myself?” Chu Yunsheng asked tentatively.
The old butler didn’t think about it, he resumed his kind smile, nodded and said: “Of course, there is a small pharmacy in the mansion, except for the treasures in the treasure house, everything else is available, Miss Ye can go pick.”
Speaking, the old housekeeper exchanged a pink-clothed maid at random, and after a few orders, let the maid lead the way, and took Chu Yunsheng to the small pharmacy.
The small pharmacy is small, but it occupies two yards.
The pink-clothed maid had a few conversations with the Lang Zhong who was guarding the small pharmacy. The middle-aged Lang Zhong got up and took Chu Yunsheng into the pharmacies to pick out the herbs.
Chu Yunsheng seemed to pick some herbs at random and asked, “Do you want to register it?”
“
The maid and Lang Zhong looked at each other, and Lang Zhong thought about what the maid said about the housekeeper’s favorite and future mistress, and said, “Then record the medicinal materials that Miss Ye has drawn under the family head’s account, the head of the house. The hospital draws a lot of these kinds of medicinal materials, and they don’t care about Miss Ye, and when you see the head of the family, Miss Ye can just mention a little.”
Before the cliché started, Chu Yunsheng heard what he wanted to hear, so he quietly plagiarized Mu Yuexin’s name for Zheng Yuchen, pretending to be close: “Yuchen… Extracting these kinds of medicinal materials, but Big Brother Yuchen is not feeling well?”
In the end, she couldn’t say the word brother, Chu Yunsheng could only settle for the next best thing, and make a friendship with Zheng Yuchen for a short time in Taoyuan.
Lang Zhong didn’t hear the eldest brother’s strangeness, thinking that it was Chu Yunsheng caring about Zheng Yuchen, he shook his head and smiled: “The owner of the house is healthy, but recently due to the accident at home, I can’t sleep day and night, and I often have headaches. , I will take some supplements as a routine, and Miss Ye doesn’t have to worry.”
Chu Yunsheng showed a look of reassurance, nodded, took the medicinal materials, and left the small pharmacy with the pink-clothed maid, and walked back.
On the way, Chu Yunsheng pretended to inquire about Zheng Yuchen’s preferences, and took the initiative to chat with the pink-clothed maid, and asked, “When Brother Yuchen came back to Jinling, who did he bring with him? Did you bring someone to the Zheng family again?”
The maid in pink pursed her lips and said with a smile: “No matter before or after, there is only one head of the house, and the yard sweeper has never been replaced, Miss Ye, don’t worry, although the head of the house loves beauties, he Not such a romantic womanizer.”
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
is indeed the most likely.
But this is too simple and too superficial.
In addition, he had been to that courtyard, and there seemed to be no abnormal people.
Is the movement of the medicinal herbs just a trick to confuse the sight, in fact, the practitioner is not in the Zheng Yuchen Academy, nor in the Zheng family?
No, no—
There is another possibility.
Chu Yunsheng’s footsteps stopped subconsciously: “Xiaodie, the date of the funeral of the old patriarch was not originally the same day as the day when Brother Yuchen took over as the patriarch, right? I have rarely seen such an arrangement by the Youshi family. .”
“It wasn’t originally.”
, but people are not gold ingots, how can you meet someone who likes them? So the old family owner also has enemies.
You can come to challenge the Patriarch. But you can’t sneak in ambush, you can’t overwhelm people, you can only be open-minded and suppress your strength to fight against the same realm.”
“It’s like this, but it’s still a bad thing. The owner of the family hasn’t decided yet. If you take over this kind of wheel battle, it’s extremely dangerous. So it’s natural to make full preparations. The days are dragged on and off until tomorrow.”
“Then the strength of the elder brother Yuchen may be enough to deal with it now?” Chu Yunsheng was concerned about the first half of the sentence symbolically, and then inadvertently brought out the second half of the sentence he really wanted to ask, “Recently Day, have you ever seen Big Brother Yuchen make a move?”
The maid shook her head and said, “What is the strength of the head of the family, we, the servants, don’t know. But since the head of the family came back, apart from having a discussion with the head of the old family, he has never made a move again. It must be You are polishing your own martial arts in order to get an opportunity to set your pills.”
Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank slightly, and there was a faint guess.
He glanced at the medicine bag in his hand, and said softly: “Xiaodie, do you know where Brother Yuchen is now? I won’t disturb him, just worry about tomorrow. Look at him from a distance.”
“Miss Ye, come with me.”
Meanwhile.
In the study of Ning’s house, Ning Tiancheng was writing a letter with a pen, when he was about to finish writing and put down his pen, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.
“Patriarch, a Xie family guard is asking for an appointment. It seems to be urgent.”
A low whistle sounded through the door.
“Urgent?”
Ning Tiancheng raised his eyes and looked at the night outside the window. While drying the letter he had just written and putting it in an anonymous envelope, he said, “Bring someone in.”
The servant outside the door responded, led a young man in blue to the study a while later, and immediately left.
Ning Tiancheng, a guard, obviously did not treat the real Xie family with the same courtesy and enthusiasm. He only sat behind the table with tea, looked at the person casually, and asked: “You are Xie The guard beside Mr.? Why did you come here at this time?”
The blue-clothed youth gave Ning Tiancheng a glance, and said nothing, only took the seemingly ordinary saber from his waist, flicked his fingers, and the cold light came out.
Ning Tiancheng saw the action of the blue-clothed youth, although he seemed calm and calm, but his vigilance had been raised to the highest level, and the palm of the tea was slightly slanted downward to ensure that he could move at the fastest speed speed of the knife.
However, the sword only had a short cut, no murderous intent, only the words like ice carvings stood out on the blade.
Fu Xue.
Ning Tiancheng’s pupils shrank suddenly.
“This is… Fuxue Sword?”
As if realizing something, Ning Tiancheng raised his eyes and looked at the blue-clothed youth with a sword. The plain face changed slightly under his astonished gaze.
Like a simple stone carved out of crystal jade, the original simple and honest guard quickly turned into a handsome and elegant son.
people see through. Among them, very few are really perfect, so there are very few users, and the Xie family is one of the few.
Chu Yunsheng’s bone-shrinking skills were also of the kind with a lot of flaws before Xie Chengyun perfected them, but he and Ji Lingben had similar appearances, so the shrinkage Even if the bone is defective, it is almost the same, and it is not easy to see.
“Patriarch Ning is silent.”
Although Xie Chengyun was anxious like a fire in his heart, his face was still calm and calm: “My visit to Jinling this time is a secret visit, and it is not appropriate to make a statement.”
The two greeted each other, Xie Chengyun helplessly sighed: “If the situation has not changed, the juniors don’t want to reveal their identity and come to scare Patriarch Ning.”
Ning Tiancheng knew Xiange and heard Yayi, and when he saw it, he immediately asked: “What does Xie Gongzi mean…”
Xie Chengyun glanced at the door and window direction, but did not speak, but turned to the method of sound transmission to enter the secret, the purpose of his coming to Jinling and the investigation of Chu Yunsheng and the Xie family. Ning Tiancheng was informed of some things.
Ning Tiancheng’s expression changed again and again, and finally became angry and cold: “Xie Gongzi said that the murderer of my son is most likely related to the Zheng family and Dangjinzi, and the Zheng family has a relationship with The royal family is conspiring to exhaust the dragon veins, recast the emperor’s sword, and stir up chaos in the world?”
Xie Chengyun nodded: “No surprise, that’s true.”
Ning Tiancheng said without hesitation, “Young Master Xie, if there is anything I need to do from the Ning family, you don’t have to be polite, just say it bluntly.”
Such a dangerous thing, it may even drag the whole Ning family to get out, and the foundation of many years is destroyed, but Ning Tiancheng promised so simply and decisively, with awe-inspiring righteousness, which made Xie Chengyun feel a sense of admiration. Perhaps only in this way can he be called a hero.
He didn’t go around any further, and in accordance with the plan he made after receiving the letter from Chu Yunsheng, he said to Ning Tiancheng: “The Ning family is righteous. Although the situation is urgent, it has not yet reached the end of the fish and the net is broken. At the moment, this junior only asks for two things from the Ning family.”
“One is to ask the Ning family master to dispatch the Ning family warriors, who are extremely talented, immediately spread out of Jinling City, and hand out the news of the Longzhang Waterfall to all the great families in the south of the Yangtze River, the sooner the better. Flexible and slick. Those who are good at hiding will disturb the major shops of the Zheng family and cause trouble, and the more headaches the Zheng family will have, the better.”
Xie Chengyun paused and said: “As for the second matter, I beg the Ning family to borrow the treasured sword of the town family from the juniors. With a single blow from the peak of Dingdan, even if it can’t compete with the half-step wandering fairy of Longzhang Waterfall, as long as it can stop one point, it will stop one point.”
“The sword of the town clan? This… Young Master Xie, it’s not that the old man is unwilling to agree, but this sword has never been used by the old man a few times, and the treasured soldiers are extremely precious, and such treasures are inherently Evil…”
Therefore, Ning Tiancheng’s reaction was also expected by Xie Chengyun.
Although Chu Yunsheng persuaded Mu Yuexin to take action, Xie Chengyun did not dare to put all his hopes on Mu Yuexin.
He didn’t say anything, just waited for Ning Tiancheng to weigh and think.
Half an hour.
Ning Tian sighed and looked at Xie Chengyun solemnly: “Master Xie, come with this old man.”
Two quarters of an hour later, Xie Chengyun carried a dusty package on his back, and under the personal **** of Ning Tiancheng, quietly left the Ning family through the dark passage.
Ning Tiancheng stood at the exit of the dark passage, watching Xie Chengyun’s figure disappear into the dark and boundless night until it disappeared. Looking up at the sky with no stars and no moon, the anxiety and solemnity on his face gradually sank into a cold and insipid.
“The end of summer is about to change.”
Shaking his head with a sigh, he turned around with his hands behind him, and re-entered the secret passage, but the direction he was heading toward was not the Ning family, but another further secret passage that was covered by the organs.
There is a fire at the end of the dark passage, and someone is guarding it.
The voice of a young man came from the firelight: “The day of ‘taking medicine’ has not yet come, and Patriarch Ning came in a hurry, what’s the matter?”
Ning Tiancheng’s eyes showed a somewhat imperceptible blankness, and he bowed his head respectfully and said: “The matter of Longzhang Waterfall has been exposed. Lingbao soldiers, want to stop half a step from wandering immortals.”
“You borrowed?”
The man asked.
“Borrowed,” Ning Tiancheng raised his head and smiled slightly, “borrowed a handful of spiritless scrap iron.”
The man was silent for a moment, then scolded coldly: “Be smart! If Xie Chengyun can’t tell the difference between a real and a fake soldier, he will be in vain. Come on, immediately intercept all the dock boats, be sure to Let a fly not fly into the boundaries of the Baili Shui Gang!”
Ning Tiancheng was stunned for a moment: “You mean, Xie Chengyun has seen through my strategy and is going to Baili Shui Gang for help?”
“I am afraid that when you handed him the fake sword, he will have seen it. In Jinling City, except for the Ning family and the Zheng family, only the Baili Shui Gang can help him. The rest is nothing but It’s just ants.” The man said lightly.
At this time, at the fisherman’s wharf in the east of Jinling City, an inconspicuous boat was sailing away from the shore in the dark, going up against the current and heading for the water village of the Baili Shuibang.
There was a clatter, and the water splashed.
Looking at the distant lights of Jinling, Xie Chengyun held a paddle in one hand and a sword in the other, and his eyes were cold.
