At the docks, ships were being unloaded, sails were being raised and lowered, and livestock were being hauled. The busy and hardworking people gave the place a sense of prosperity.
As the sun set, the sesame seed cake stall closed for the day. Hai Wuji pulled his handcart back.
Zhuge Chi, dressed as a fisherman, walked beside him, but did not help him pull the cart.
Hai Wuji, smelling of smoke, turned his head. Seeing him, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhuge Chi replied in a low voice, "I have something to do, so I have to leave. Their people will protect you."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Hai Wuji asked in a low voice, "Did they ask you to do something again?"
Zhuge Chi replied, "I don't know exactly what it is, but I just received a report. Many things have happened in the cultivation world, and the commotion is not small. They are about to launch a counterattack."
Hai Wuji sighed, "Go! Come back early. "
Zhuge Chi was slightly surprised and gestured with his hand.
Hai Wuji pulled the handcart to the side, avoiding the crowd and standing by the side of the road.
Seeing the calluses on Hai Wuji's hands, Zhuge Chi said, "You have suffered."
Hai Wuji smiled, "It's better than losing my life. I am not as weak as you think. When I was a hostage in Yan City, I suffered much more than this. I remember when I returned to the Empire and saw my mother, she cried so sadly … Sigh, I really want to see her. "
Zhuge Chi said, "Don't see her again, at least not now. We can't write to each other anymore. Right now, the Empress Dowager is definitely being used as bait by the Misty Pavilion. If you don't see her, it's better for everyone. But if you fall into the hands of the Misty Pavilion, the Empress Dowager's life will come to an end, and many people involved will lose their lives. Only if you live well can the Empress Dowager live well. "
Hai Wuji nodded, "A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. No matter how bad the commoners are, they can still reunite with their families. But for me, my mother-in-law is dead, my wife and daughter are separated, and my wife and daughter are slaves, abused, and turned into other people's playthings. My children and grandchildren are slaughtered, and I don't even have the right to see them. When I think about the past, I can only sigh with emotion. There's nothing I can do. "
Zhuge Chi knew that this was a pain in his heart, which was why he had always wanted to restore his kingdom. However, he still asked the question that had been bothering him. "After coming here, you would feel uneasy whenever I was away. Now, you seem to be calm."
Hai Wuji looked left and right before saying, "I've already handed the Shang Ling over to the other party, so we can only place our hopes on them. What else can we do but be calm?"
Zhuge Chi was startled. "What?"
…
The nine people from the Misty Pavilion rode on three flying beasts and left the Hundred Rivers Valley.
Yi Xing had come because of Lan Ming and Zhuge Chi. He had come to verify the information that Li Zhengfa had provided. There were some things that had to be verified. After all, this involved Lan Daolin, and he had to find out if there were any suspicious points.
However, not long after they left the Hundred Rivers Valley, a flying beast rose into the sky and flew alongside them.
The nine of them watched helplessly as the other party approached. When they realized that there was only one person on the flying beast, and that this person was also wearing a mask, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
The leader shouted, "Who are you?"
The masked person did not reply, only taking action. Whoosh! As fast as a phantom, he flashed over and attacked with the speed of a thunderbolt. Three sorrowful cries rang out, and three flying mounts were killed in midair!
The masked person flashed through the sky and attacked consecutively. None of the nine could withstand a single attack.
Seeing that the enemy was strong, the survivors had no choice but to flee.
The masked person did not give chase. Instead, he flew through the sky and caught up to the flying beast he had come on. Slowly, he descended.
As he neared the ground, he saw a group of masked people attacking the escaping members of the Misty Pavilion.
…
Within the conference hall of the Hundred Rivers Valley, the upper echelons were all anxious. Sect Master Yin Ru Shu had a worried expression as he discussed matters with the others.
It was impossible not to be worried. A few days ago, the Misty Pavilion had sent people to investigate the case. Who knew that a few days later, the Misty Pavilion would send people again? There was no other reason. When they asked if the previous people had returned, they were naturally told that they had already returned.
When the two sides met, they immediately sensed that something was wrong. Logically speaking, the previous people should have returned to the Misty Pavilion to report, but now they were nowhere to be seen, and there was no news at all. What was going on?
Naturally, they sent people to help search.
"Sect Master, we found them!" An Elder suddenly rushed into the conference hall and reported urgently, interrupting the discussion.
Yin Ru Shu hurriedly asked, "Where are they? Why didn't they return to the Misty Pavilion?"
The Elder stomped his feet and said, "Everyone, something has happened. About a hundred miles southwest of us, we found three flying beasts and five corpses. There are also four people missing. We don't know who killed them!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Yin Ru Shu said, "Can you confirm if they are from the Misty Pavilion?"
The Elder said anxiously, "I can't be wrong. We couldn't find them at first, but a hunter nearby accidentally found the corpses and reported it to the authorities. I personally went to confirm it. It's the people from the Misty Pavilion who came last time. "
Someone exclaimed, "Who dared to touch the people from the Misty Pavilion? Even the flying beasts were not spared. Who would be so daring?"
It didn't matter who was so daring! Everyone was already panicking. The people from the Misty Pavilion had come to investigate the case, but as soon as they left, they didn't even get to bring the case back. They didn't even get far before they were killed. They didn't even know if they could prove that they were related to the Hundred Rivers Valley.
…
In the Qin Kingdom, in a cave, more than ten people from the Misty Pavilion were huddled together.
A masked man appeared at the door, pointed at one person and shouted, "You, come out!"
The person who was pointed at said angrily, "Who are you? Do you know who we are?"
No matter who you are, if you don't listen to orders, someone immediately went in and dragged the person out.
They dragged him out of the cave and brought him to a bloody valley. There were already a few corpses wearing the Misty Pavilion's clothes on the ground. Blood was still flowing, showing that they had died not long ago.
The frightened person was forced to kneel in front of the masked interrogator.
The masked interrogator placed the bloody sword on his neck. "Speak. Tell me something I'm interested in."
The person who was forced to kneel gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what you want to know."
The interrogator sneered, "Anything. As long as you know, anything that the people of the Misty Pavilion did against the rules, or anything that can't be exposed, you can tell me." The sword pointed at the corpses behind him, "You saw it. If you don't speak, this is what will happen to you!"
…
In the secret room of the Thatched Cottage, Yun Ji looked at the secret letter written by Niu Youdao himself. It was written in cursive script that she couldn't understand, but she knew the general meaning. She just asked and found out that it was to be sent to Yuan Gang. She asked tentatively, "If I let the monkey lure Lv Wushuang, and the matter is exposed, will Lv Wushuang suspect the monkey?"
Niu Youdao said, "What's the use of suspicion? She can't be sure. The important thing is that she can't expose what she wants the monkey to do. She can only keep her suspicions in her heart. Don't worry, as long as the monkey carries out the instructions strictly, nothing will happen! "
"Since you are not worried about the monkey, then I have nothing to worry about. I believe that even if something happens to the monkey, he won't betray you." Yun Ji mumbled a few words, turned around and left, obeying the order.
…
In the Demon Ridge, inside the Demon Palace, Zhao Xiongge entered Yuan Gang's room and saw that Feng Guaner was doing the work of a maid. She carefully helped Yuan Gang clean the room, while Yuan Gang sat behind the desk and sorted out the situation of the people in the Demon Palace.
This was what Yuan Gang was good at, and it was also what he had been doing recently. He wanted to sort out the people in the Demon Palace who had problems, and in fact, he did notice some of them.
Zhao Xiongge stood at the door and looked for a while, feeling a little puzzled. He didn't know what the relationship between this man and woman was.
According to the situation at the Thatched Cottage, the two of them had been in a relationship for a long time. Everyone knew what Yuan Gang had done for Feng Guaner. However, the current situation was that the man and woman seemed to be maintaining a distance. They had their own rooms and didn't sleep together.
Yuan Gang was very alert. He suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Xiongge at the door. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Feng Guaner also looked back.
Zhao Xiongge walked in and coughed dryly. Feng Guaner understood and knew that the two of them had something to talk about. She took the basin and left, closing the door behind her.
He walked to the desk and said slowly, "Why do you two have to be like this? The paper window has already been pierced through. What's the point of pasting another layer on it? Even a fool can see that this woman is by your side without any regrets. She has already decided to be with you. There are some things that you shouldn't leave for yourself. "
Yuan Gang was expressionless. He asked, "Are you very bored?"
Zhao Xiongge chuckled. He looked at the list of people in the Demon Palace on the desk and said, "I didn't expect you to have this ability. What did you discover?"
Yuan Gang said, "If you have something to say, say it."
"You're so boring. You don't have any humanity." Zhao Xiongge snorted. He took out a secret letter from his sleeve and threw it on the desk. "That person gave it to you."
Yuan Gang picked it up and saw the familiar cursive handwriting. He immediately knew that it was Niu Youdao's handwriting. He immediately read the contents carefully and burned it.
Zhao Xiongge asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
Yuan Gang was silent. There were some things that needed his cooperation. Niu Youdao had said the same thing in the letter, so he didn't hide it from him and told him the contents of the letter in a low voice.
"Asking Officer Feng to find Luo Zhao?" Zhao Xiongge muttered, a little puzzled.
Yuan Gang said, "Three days. Master Taoist has requested that I bring her back within three days. I can't come back too early or too late. Even if it's three days, I have to come back. Otherwise, I'll be in danger.
Zhao Xiongge was suspicious. "What is he trying to do?"
Yuan Gang said, "I don't know. Since Daoye has made this arrangement, he must have his reasons. We just need to carry it out. Do you have any problems here? "
He really didn't know what Niu Youdao's intentions were. He was very confident in Niu Youdao's arrangements because he knew that Niu Youdao wouldn't harm him.
Zhao Xiongge shook his head. "This is simple. I don't have any problems. The key is that woman. She has to cooperate."
Yuan Gang said, "Leave this to me. I'll talk to her."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhao Xiongge nodded and left quickly.
