Chapter 137 Wuzhu is found, Wuzhu is injured?
July twenty-seven.
Although the news that Emperor Qing was going to Mount Dadong to offer sacrifices was very urgent, the Ministry of Rites still prepared everything in a short time.
But because it was a hasty sacrifice, Emperor Qing also said that everything should be kept simple, so the team was not large, only about three hundred people.
After getting ready, we headed straight to Datong Mountain.
Of course, this is just the number of people in the sacrificial team.
There are also 500 guards escorting along the way, and 1,000 black knights have already set out in advance to open up the route and eliminate the danger on the road.
There were several huge carriages of the same model in the sacrificial team. Each carriage had closed windows so no one could see what was going on inside.
This is a necessary preparation to guard against assassination by others, after all, it is the emperor's vehicle.
The reason why all the windows had to be closed was because Emperor Qing specifically requested it.
Because he feels safer when he is more closed off.
"Where is Fan Xian?"
Inside the carriage where Emperor Qing was, Emperor Qing, who was wearing a black hood and black clothes, asked Hong Sixiang.
"Follow behind."
"Go, call him over to me."
"Yes!"
Hong Sixiang left the carriage and quickly called Fan Xian to the side of the carriage.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
Fan Xian was not allowed to enter the carriage, he just shouted loudly at the window.
"I appoint you as the sacrificial patrol officer, responsible for patrolling and keeping watch all the way from the team to Dadong Mountain."
Fan Xian was stunned and asked, "Isn't this matter under the charge of Commander Gong Dian?"
In addition to the Tiger Guards and Black Cavalry, the team also has a hundred imperial guards led by Gong Dian himself, who are specifically responsible for the safety of Emperor Qing.
"He is responsible for my safety, and you are responsible for the safety of the entire delegation! Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I obey your command." Fan Xian quickly bowed.
Emperor Qing has palace officials in charge of this, and he is only responsible for the safety of the delegation. Even if something unexpected happens, nothing will happen.
"You can deploy all the tiger guards. Go down."
"Yes!"
Fan Xian bowed and left.
Although I don't know why I suddenly got this job, it's not a bad thing after all.
And at this time in the carriage.
"If Fan Xian disappears, let me know."
After saying this, Emperor Qing closed his eyes and rested.
The reason why he appointed Fan Xian to this position was very simple. He wanted to take this opportunity to test Fan Xian and see if he would meet Wu Zhu.
The sacrificial patrol officer has great freedom and power. If Wu Zhu follows him, Fan Xian will most likely find an opportunity to communicate with Wu Zhu.
So he asked Hong Sixiang to keep an eye on Fan Xian. If the person disappeared, he would follow him personally to see if he could find anything.
"Yes."
Hong Sixiang came out of the carriage and looked at Fan Xian from time to time, keeping a close eye on his whereabouts.
It is naturally impossible for Emperor Qing to go alone for such a sudden sacrifice.
Except for Qin Ye and Fan Jian, all other ministers, including Prime Minister Lin, had to follow.
Therefore, most of the ministers in the court were dissatisfied with this sudden sacrifice.
But there was one person who was very happy, even ecstatic.
That’s Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
Because after Emperor Qing left Kyoto, he had the power to regent.
This is the regent, temporarily exercising imperial power.
Li Chengqian had only dared to think about this kind of thing in his dreams before, but now it had happened directly to him. Happiness came so suddenly.
In fact, this was also a test given to Li Chengqian by Emperor Qing, allowing him to use his own abilities to govern the country.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well, he will cover you.
If it is done well, it will be even better. Emperor Qing will be able to train him more specifically in the future.
That’s right, training!
From the beginning to the end, Emperor Qing truly trained the Crown Prince as the heir to the throne.
His own goal is to conquer the world, destroy the great master, and unify the world.
To govern the world, it naturally requires people to govern.
The prince is his key training target!
As for the second prince? He is just a whetstone for the crown prince.
Emperor Qing forced him to fight for the throne. If he didn't go, his only outcome would be death!
At this moment, Li Chengze put on a mask of pain on his face.
For so many years, he and the prince have been fighting for so many years.
There was finally a hint of fairness - none of them got Fan Xian's support.
But this fairness only lasted for a day or two, and all of a sudden the prince became regent?
Emperor Qing is not in Kyoto now, and the Crown Prince is still the regent. Will he not be able to suppress him as much as possible?
What's the point of arguing? Just wait to die!
Dongyi City.
Ye Liuyun, who had just arrived in Dongyi City, had no time to look for Qin Feng when Si Gu Jian showed up at his door and blocked him in an alley.
"What are you doing in my Dongyi City?!" Si Gu Jian asked blankly.
Among all the grand masters, the one with the most straightforward character is Si Gu Jian.
He is not very tall, even looks a little short, and his brain is a little stiff.
To outsiders, it might even seem a little silly because it was related to his childhood experiences.
He was disliked by his family and treated like an idiot.
But he is actually not stupid, and his swordsmanship is very powerful!
Moreover, Si Gu Jian is also a ruthless person!
In order to become a grandmaster, he killed all the people in the City Lord's Mansion, leaving only his own brother Shadow.
Now that Ye Liuyun was facing Si Gu Jian alone, he could only run away because he knew he couldn't win.
"I'm looking for someone, Qi Ye!" Ye Liuyun said directly.
When talking to this idiot, it's better to be direct, otherwise he will attack you without saying a word.
"That new Grandmaster? Isn't he in Kyoto? What are you doing in Dongyi City?"
Si Gu Jian frowned slightly, stared at Ye Liuyun with an unfriendly look and asked: "Are you going to destroy my Dongyi City?!"
Although he received news that Qin Feng took the eldest princess of Northern Qi as his concubine, that guy is a Qing citizen after all. Ye Liuyun's sneaky appearance at this time may be intended to attack their Dongyi City.
"of course not!"
Ye Liuyun asked back: "Then Qi Ye is not here?!"
"What do you mean?!" Si Gu Jian also realized something was wrong.
"I heard that Qi Ye came to Dongyi City, so I came to find him. Have you never seen him?"
Ye Liuyun stared into Si Gu Jian's eyes and asked.
"never seen it!"
Si Gu Jian said in a deep voice: "I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time, let's have a fight."
"madman!"
After cursing softly, Ye Liuyun didn't waste any more words and directly used his lightness skills to leave Dongyi City.
"The old guy's perception has become stronger again. He was able to find me in advance."
After running for several miles, Ye Liuyun murmured.
But this is also normal. Si Gu Jian's mind is purer than his, and he entered the realm of grandmaster earlier.
It was that Qin Feng, who was so young but had a longer sensing range than him, which was really weird. But then again, didn't that kid say he was coming to Dongyi City?
Did you lie to him?
Or hasn’t it arrived yet?
Or did Si Gu Jian deliberately drive him away?
But based on his understanding of Si Gu Jian, it should be impossible. Either Qin Feng lied to him or he didn't come.
"Oh, this is a difficult matter."
Ye Liuyun was entrusted by Emperor Qing to come and investigate the situation, but now it is difficult to report the result.
Let's wait near Dongyi City first.
Jiangnan, Suzhou City.
Qingyaju.
This is a teahouse in Suzhou city.
"In the court of Northern Qi, the young poet Fan fought with Ku He's first disciple Lang Tao for 300 rounds without a clear winner. In the end, the young poet Fan stopped the fight out of fear of hurting the reputation of Qi State and called it a draw. To hear what happened next, please listen to the next episode!"
The storyteller hit the wake-up stick, making a crisp sound, and then everyone got up and left to drink some tea.
The spectators in the teahouse began to discuss the matter.
"If you ask me, Little Fan Shixian shouldn't have held back and let the people of Qi know how powerful our Qing Kingdom is!"
"That's right, my Qing army should just crush Qi!"
"Now our Qing Kingdom has three Grand Masters, and the small Qi Kingdom only has one Ku He. Your Majesty should unify the world!"
"Have you heard? Grandmaster Qi Ye is the reincarnation of Wu Xianren!"
"Do I need you to tell me that? Grandmaster Qiye was in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace at the time, beating Ku He until he screamed. If it weren't for his age, he would have beaten him to death!"
"If the Immortal Wu accepts the Immortal Shi as his disciple, our Qing Kingdom will prosper!"
"Do you know what happened when Grandmaster Qiye broke through? I heard it from the nephew of my second grandfather's grandson's great aunt. It was so amazing at the time, it was earth-shattering!"
"How to say?"
"Sand and rocks are flying, dark clouds are covering the sun, and thunder is falling from the sky. These are the signs that an immortal is about to be born!"
"There is a poem that goes: 'Take a thousand tests to achieve perfection, understand the truth of all things, and see the true opportunity. The sword energy can reach three hundred miles, and you will become a grandmaster in one day!'"
"I haven't heard of Grandmaster Qiye using a sword? It's still a doggerel. Is your second uncle reliable?"
"The food at Qingyaju can't keep you hungry, so you should eat more!"
On the second floor of Qingyaju, Qin Feng listened to the discussions of the people below and found it very interesting.
He searched several major cities in Jiangnan these two days, but did not find Wuzhu.
Either Wuzhu was not in the city, or his search was too rough and he didn't find him.
No matter which situation it is, Wuzhu cannot be found in a short time.
Suzhou is the location of the three major districts in the south of the Yangtze River.
Qin Feng felt that Wu Zhu was most likely here, so he planned to make this place his first target and search for him in detail.
Wuzhu is different from the grandmaster after all. Perhaps in his spiritual perception, he is different from other grandmasters, but he just doesn't realize it.
The reason he came to the teahouse was not for any other purpose, but because the place was well-informed, and he wanted to ask around to see if he could find any clues.
"Sir, have a grape!"
A teahouse girl with outstanding appearance picked up some grapes and put them into Qin Feng's mouth.
The teahouses in Jiangnan are different from those in Kyoto. They even have maids to accompany you for meals.
Qin Feng called one, mainly to ask for information from him.
"I don't want to eat anymore." After Qin Feng threw down a tael of silver as a reward, he walked towards the door of the teahouse.
I have asked all the questions that should be asked, and there is no useful information.
But just as he was about to leave the teahouse, the madam came over with a young man dressed as a servant.
"Sir! Sir, please stay!"
Qin Feng paused and looked back at the two of them.
"Young master just said that he wants to find a man with a black cloth covering his eyes. He will know the answer!" The madam pointed to the young man next to her.
"You said there was a hundred taels of silver? Is that true?" The young man looked unconvinced.
"This is a young man from Kyoto! How can he frame you?!" the madam said unhappily.
Everything was slow in ancient times, and each place had strong local characteristics.
The clothes Qin Feng was wearing looked like they were made in Kyoto.
And the silver that Qin Feng used also looked like it was from Kyoto.
"Give me the money first and I'll tell you!" The young man stretched out his hand.
Qin Feng didn't waste any words and directly threw over a silver note worth one hundred taels.
At the same time, he said in a deep voice: "This money is not so easy to take. If you make up words to deceive me, the end will not be good!"
After the young man got the banknote, he had no time to listen to Qin Feng's threats. He just put it in front of him and looked at it carefully to confirm that it was the real thing.
Then he said excitedly: "The day before yesterday, I went out of town to visit relatives. Just outside the city, in a farmland five miles away, I saw a man dressed in black with a piece of cloth covering his eyes. He disappeared in an instant."
After hearing this news, Qin Feng was almost certain that it was Wu Zhu.
So he turned around and left the teahouse without saying much.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Seeing Qin Feng was so generous, the madam wanted to establish a relationship with him.
But when she followed him out of the teahouse, he was nowhere to be seen.
Looking back, the young man was still grinning.
The madam stepped forward and snatched the banknote away.
"Hey, hey, hey, my money! My money!" the young man yelled, trying to snatch the money back.
However, the hand he stretched out was firmly grasped by the guard at the door, and he could not move!
"Throw it out!"
After saying this, the madam walked into the teahouse.
He is just a servant. He was asked to tell her the news before, but he didn't. He really doesn't know how to appreciate it!
Suzhou City, on the eastern outskirts of the city.
Qin Feng activated his spiritual sense and searched along the road.
There must be a reason why Wu Zhu came here. Maybe this is where Ye Qingmei has been?
So when Qin Feng was looking, he would pay special attention to those villas, courtyards and so on.
After half an hour, Qin Feng finally found Wu Zhu in a manor.
At this time, Wuzhu was standing in a bedroom, motionless.
There was an octagonal table in the bedroom, and Ye Qingmei's box was placed on it.
"Uncle Wuzhu!"
Qin Feng shouted and moved closer.
But soon, he stopped.
Because Wuzhu's situation was a little wrong at the moment. In response to his shouting, he didn't move at all.
As he approached, Wuzhu turned around, looked at him expressionlessly, and put his hand on the iron rod.
"Uncle Wuzhu?"
"Who are you?!" Wu Zhu looked at Qin Feng and asked coldly.
At this time, Qin Feng discovered that there was a wound on Wuzhu's stomach.
Wuzhu was injured? Was he beaten by Kuhe?
It shouldn’t be!
Qin Feng was sure that Ku He would never be able to hurt Wu Zhu.
And when he fought against Wu Zhu before, it could be felt that he was injured.
But now, Wuzhu was also injured, how is this possible? !
