After reading the letter, Linghu Qiu was stunned. Was it really a letter from Niu Youdao? Did Niu Youdao really make the Waning Moon Pavilion promise not to make trouble for him?
"Sir, is it really a letter from Niu Youdao?" The dirty Hong Xiu asked tentatively.
"Read it yourself." Linghu Qiu was in a daze and handed the letter to them.
The two women took the letter and quickly read it together. After reading it, they looked at each other in dismay.
Hong Xiu asked the same question, "Will the higher-ups really let us go?"
"I don't know. Even if we die, we have to die with dignity. Let's find a place to wash up first." Linghu Qiu sighed and poured out a banknote in the envelope. The banknote was worth one hundred yuan.
The person who wrote the letter had obviously expected that they would not be able to get back the things that had been taken from them. Although the money was not much, it was really thoughtful.
A man and two women, dressed in rags, left barefoot.
When night fell, the three had already washed up and sat in an inn for dinner.
Whether what Niu Youdao said was true or not, the three of them knew that if the Waning Moon Pavilion really wanted to make trouble for them, they would not be able to escape in their current isolated situation.
After a good meal, the three of them returned to their room. When they opened the door, they were shocked to see a man in a black cloak standing at the window with his back to them.
The three of them were instantly on high alert, vigilant of the inside and outside of the room.
"Come in!" The man in the black robe said in a low and hoarse voice.
The three of them had heard this voice before. They realized who was coming, and they were all tense and nervous.
The three of them wanted to escape, but their feet were heavy. Finally, they slowly entered the room one by one.
As the door closed, the man in the black robe said Slowly, "From now on, the three of you have nothing to do with us. If you don't want to die, forget what you shouldn't remember. You're lucky this time. Take care!"
After saying this, the man flashed out of the window and disappeared like a ghost.
The three of them did not move for a long time. After a while, they gradually woke up as if from a nightmare.
Hong Xiu lit the oil lamp. Their Yue Die was gone. When they came out of the prison, they were only left with their rags.
Hong Fu quickly closed the window.
The light shone on the trio's faces, but they still had a look of lingering fear.
Hong Fu broke the silence. "Sir, it seems like what Niu Youdao said in the letter was true."
They knew very well that there were very few people who could survive after leaving the organization. It was impossible without a special reason.
Linghu Qiu slowly walked to the lamp and sat down. She took out Niu Youdao's letter and read it again.
After reading it again and confirming that the contents of the letter were true, all sorts of emotions surged in his heart.
In the prison, he refused to give in no matter what because he knew that he had no way out. Even if he had to die, he would drag Niu Youdao into this.
What he hated even more was that Niu Youdao, that bastard, dared to touch his woman. He could not swallow this anger, and it was also the reason why he refused to confess no matter what.
However, at this moment, when he saw this letter, he realized that Niu Youdao really wanted to save his life. Otherwise, he would have no value. No matter what, Niu Youdao did not need to find trouble for himself. Now, not only did he get him out of prison, but he also helped him settle the Waning Moon Pavilion. It was clear that he was sincere.
At this moment, he finally calmed down and looked at the words in the letter. "Elder brother wants to harm younger brother. What should younger brother do?"
Thinking back calmly, it was this side who wanted to use seductive means to harm Niu Youdao. That was why Hong Xiu and Hong Fu were humiliated. They also played along to save their lives.
This letter had a miraculous effect. It truly made the resentment in his heart vanish like smoke in thin air. He no longer had any thoughts of revenge. He raised his hand and lit the letter on the lamp. Watching it turn into ashes bit by bit, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's all over now."
He had really let it go. But when the two women remembered the humiliation that day, they still could not bear to recall it. They were ashamed and indignant.
Hong Fu bit her lip and asked, "Sir, are we going to let Niu Youdao go just like that?"
Linghu Qiu asked, "What else do you want? Even the higher-ups could not keep him in Qi. Even the higher-ups could not do anything to him. He has many guards around him. What can we do with just the three of us? I'm afraid we don't even have the chance to get close to him. If we continue to fight, he even dared to kill the envoy of Yan. Do you still remember Kunlin Shu? If we push him too far, he is not a soft-hearted person. "
The two girls were dejected. Thinking about it, it was indeed so. It was not so easy to take revenge on Niu Youdao. When they could borrow the power of Waning Moon Pavilion, they still could not do anything to Niu Youdao.
Hong Xiu asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Linghu Qiu was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly stood up and stared at the lamp. Slowly, he said, "We are free and free … We still have some savings in the bank. We will not be rogue cultivators anymore. We will walk our own path and establish our own sect! If Niu Youdao can do it, I don't believe we can't do it … "
…
In Fu Fang Garden, Dugu Jing stood under the eaves and waited quietly.
The door opened. Yu Cang walked out after taking a bath. He stood on the stairs and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.
Dugu Jing said, "Master, Linghu Qiu has been released."
Yu Cang was not interested in Linghu Qiu now. He asked, "Is the surrounding area cleared?"
Dugu Jing said, "There is no one around. There are people guarding the area. They will not let anyone come near."
Yu Cang walked down the stairs and walked to a water jar that was filled with clear water. He looked up at the moon again and slowly circled around the water jar. He seemed to be looking for an angle.
After a while, he stood still and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he took out the bronze mirror from his sleeve. He aimed the mirror at the bright moon in the sky and pointed the back of the mirror to the water jar.
Dugu Jing was a little confused. Suddenly, her eyes widened a little. She saw nine faint light spots on the water surface of the water jar. She couldn't help but stare at it.
Yu Cang turned the mirror and quickly put it back. He held the bronze mirror with both hands and murmured emotionally, "It's real. It's really real. We found it. We really found it. After being lost for more than two hundred years, we finally found it." There were tears in his eyes.
When he calmed down a little, Dugu Jing tried to ask, "Master, what was that strange phenomenon just now?"
Yu Cang kept the bronze mirror and shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. I only know that as long as we find the place where Shang Song broke the heavens, this item is the key to opening the Gate of Heaven. That is why it is ranked first among the Eight Treasures. Even the nine Supreme Martial Artists who have studied this item do not know how to open the Gate of Heaven. I'm afraid that we can only find the place where Shang Song broke the heavens and compare it to the scene. These nine light spots should be the key. It's a pity that we can't find where Shang Song broke the heavens … "
The majestic imperial palace seemed abnormally dark under the night sky.
A series of messy footsteps broke the silence. Bu Xun went straight to the bedchamber. The people behind him stopped outside the bedchamber. Only Bu Xun went up the stairs and knocked on the tightly shut door.
"What is it?" Hao Yun Tu, who was in the land of warmth, suddenly sat up and shouted. He seemed to have woken up in an instant.
The concubine beside him was still a little confused.
Hao Yun Tu knew that at this time, he would not be disturbed unless there was something urgent.
Bu Xun's voice came from outside. "Your Majesty, something happened to the Ying King's Residence."
Soon, Hao Yun Tu, with disheveled hair, came out of the door. He only had a robe draped over him. His eyes were cold and stern. "What happened?"
Bu Xun bowed. "The Ying King's concubine was assassinated … and killed!" The last few words were very heavy.
Hao Yun Tu's expression changed. He instantly became furious. "They can't even protect my daughter-in-law. What are the guards doing? Who is the murderer? Have they been caught? "
Bu Xun said, "There is no assassin, no murderer, only a weapon! Someone presented a box to the Ying King's Residence. When the box was opened, there was a doll that could spin automatically. Such a rare item was naturally presented to the concubine when the Ying King was not present. Who would have thought that when the box was opened, the doll would spin a few times and suddenly shoot out a large number of poisonous needles like a storm. The needles were poisoned. By the time the sorcerer gave first aid, it was already too late! Several servants were also killed at the same time. None of them were spared. "
Hao Yun Tu said angrily, "Don't they know how to inspect the things that were presented?"
Bu Xun said in a low voice, "That box was made very intricately. The first round of inspection was fine when the servants opened it. The second round of inspection was also fine. It was only when it was presented to the concubine that it acted up. It was impossible to guard against it. Fortunately, the two princes were tired from playing during the day and went to bed early. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. "
Hearing that his own grandson was almost murdered, Hao Yun Tu was filled with lingering fear. He flew into a rage. "I ask you, have the murderer been caught? Who did it?"
Bu Xun said, "The person who presented the gift didn't run away. He has been caught. However, it seems that the person who presented the gift was also used."
"Investigate! Find the murderer! "Hao Yun Tu roared angrily.
With the king's anger, the entire Capital of Qi was thrown into chaos. The army in the city was mobilized to search. There were torches everywhere. There were sounds of people knocking on doors and opening doors. A large number of Moon Butterflies flew over from the surrounding mountains. The three major sects dispatched a large number of cultivators.
The guardian sorcerers scattered in the city stood on the high eaves, looking around coldly.
From time to time, screams could be heard in the city. Some people who had a guilty conscience for some reason were instantly shot down by a rain of arrows.
Some cultivators with bad tempers were killed on the spot.
Anyone who resisted the search was captured. Those who couldn't were killed without mercy. In a short period of time, countless innocent people died unjustly. A reign of terror swept through the Capital of Qi.
Amidst the clouds, Su Zhao stood on the pavilion looking at the bright moon, listening to the commotion outside.
Qin Mian quickly walked up the stairs and whispered in his ear, "Boss, it's done."
Su Zhao nodded slightly. He could guess what had happened from the commotion outside. He asked, "Has everyone on our side left?"
"Everything has been arranged in advance. We won't be able to find any clues on our side." Qin Mian informed him. Then, she reminded him, "I just received news from the higher-ups. The higher-ups have given strict orders that no one is to touch Niu Youdao without permission!"
Su Zhao turned around in surprise. "What do you mean?"
Qin Mian replied, "They didn't say anything. They only said that anyone who touches him will be killed!"
"…" Su Zhao was speechless. He couldn't believe it. They had suffered such a huge loss at the hands of Niu Youdao. Hundreds of people were killed, but the higher-ups just let it go. They didn't even allow anyone to touch Niu Youdao. What kind of logic was this?
