Happy Little Scholar

"What, you said that Taoist nun was the one who took Li Yi away from Kyoto?"

The King of Shu suddenly stood up from his chair and asked, "Where is he now?"

"The official has never seen Uncle Li. He must have been hidden by them." Jiang Zian said with a guilty look on his face: "The official is incompetent and failed to save the uncle Li from those people..."

"What about the Taoist nun?" King Shu asked again.

"It disappeared since last night." Jiang Zian lowered his head and said.

"try to find!"

The King of Shu slammed the table fiercely and said, "You must find him for me!"

A moment later, Jiang Zian walked out of Prince Shu's Mansion and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although almost a night had passed, the feeling in his heart at this time was still a bit complicated and difficult to describe.

He waved his hand and said to a policeman next to him: "Send the order, all government officials and ministries will search village by village. If there is news about those people, report them immediately!"

At this time, in a village not far from Yong County, dozens of figures were waiting respectfully outside a certain courtyard.

In the courtyard, the man in purple bowed and said, "Madam, we have sent people to look at the small bamboo forest that the man mentioned, but no Lord Protector was found."

The middle-aged Taoist nun was leaning on the head of the bed. Her bun was a little messy and her face was pale. She waved her hand and said, "Continue to search in the city. In addition, send more people to look for those two people..."

"yes!"

The man in purple responded and walked outside the door. After a while, the dozens of people in blue and yellow outside the door changed their clothes and dispersed.

In a dry well somewhere within Yongxian County, the man surnamed Fang looked pale, his acupuncture points were sealed, and his true energy could not circulate. He looked up at the sky at the mouth of the well, with a look of despair on his face.

…

…

Outside Yong County, somewhere deep in the mountains and forests.

The bald man leaned against a tree, his expression dull, his eyes dull, and he looked up at the sky.

"How much time do I have?"

After an unknown amount of time, his lips moved with difficulty.

A bandit beside him looked at the sky, sighed, and said, "Less than half an hour."

The bald man put his hands behind his head and said, "After today, you can go back."

"Brother..."

The bald man waved his hand and said: "Go back and farm hard. Although life will be a little harder, you won't starve to death. It's better than having your head stuck in your belt..."

"Smiling half-way... If I can't help laughing after a while, give me a good time, and then dig a hole and bury it. Don't pile up soil, don't erect a monument, don't want anything." A trace of emotion appeared on the bald man's face. Smiling bitterly, "He bleeds from all his orifices and explodes to death. It's so ugly..."

A bandit gritted his teeth and stood up, saying, "Brother, I'm going to get the antidote back!"

"It's too late." The bald bandit waved his hand and said, "Go back and bring me a message to your sister-in-law."

"Tell her that I will never regret marrying her in this life."

…

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have persuaded my brother in the first place!" A bandit gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and slashed the tree with a knife.

"In front of you, did you see a young man with a girl..."

A voice came from behind, and the bandit waved his hand impatiently and said: "Gungun, uncle is upset. Why are you making such a fuss? If you make any more noise, I'll chop you to death!"

Plop!

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the crook of his leg, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees.

"What did you say?"

An old man with messy hair came up from behind, looked at him and asked.

The bandits' eyes suddenly opened wide, and they couldn't help but tremble.

"Senior..." Several people felt extremely frightened. Thinking of the horrific scene a few days ago, several people fell to their knees.

"It's you again!" The old man also had a look of surprise on his face, but he also remembered that the bald man was the leader of the group. He walked over and asked: "Hey, have you ever seen a young man with... a beautiful man? The girl brought a young man with her? "

The bald man leaned against the tree, his expression neither sad nor happy. He glanced at the old man and did not answer.

The old man narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I'm asking you a question!"

The bald man glanced at him again, his eyes indifferent and without any emotion.

The old man grabbed his neck, lifted him up and pressed him against the tree trunk, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The bald man gave him a cold look and said, "Stop talking nonsense, kill me if you want, just like any mother-in-law or mother-in-law!"

The cold look on the old man's face disappeared and he looked at him in surprise, "Do you want to die?"

The bald man said calmly: "Anyway, the poison will take effect in half an hour. Just kill me and give me pleasure."

The old man grabbed his wrist, explored it, and said in surprise: "It's not poisoned..."

The big man said coldly: "Hmph! That "smiling half-step epilepsy" is a rare poison in the world. If there is no antidote, after half an hour, I will laugh endlessly, my whole body will be ulcerated, my meridians will be severed, and my body will explode." And died..."

The old man was even more surprised and said: "I have been in the world for decades and have never heard of such a strange poison."

"That's because you are ignorant." The bald man glanced at him and said, "If you want to kill me, kill me. What nonsense? If you don't kill me, I'll find someone else to kill you!"

The old man smiled instead of being angry and said: "I am known as "Old Weird Xu" in the world. I didn't expect that you are weirder than me. You actually begged others to kill you..."

"Brother, brother!" At this time, a figure ran out of a house not far away, raised the paper in his hand, and said happily: "Brother, I found this in the room. The man said that what he gave you was not poison. He lied to you!"

"Really?" The big man was shocked. He took the paper from him, looked at it, and stuffed it to another person beside him, saying: "Ergou, you have also studied for two years. Look at what is written on it!"

The man's eyes hurriedly cast up, slapped his thigh, and said: "Brother, it's true. The man left a letter saying that what he gave you was not poison!"

The big man showed ecstasy on his face and murmured: "So, I don't have to die?"

"No, no, no..."

The old man glanced at him lightly, shook his head, and said: "I just thought about it seriously. Since you are determined to die, why don't I fulfill your wish? If it is spread out in the future, it will also be a good story of being helpful."

The smile on the bald man's face froze.

Plop!

He knelt on the ground, hugged the old man's thigh, and said with tears and snot: "Senior, I was wrong, I don't want to die. Aren't you looking for someone? Let's talk about finding someone!"

"Are you really not going to consider it anymore?" The old man looked at him and said: "Others asked me to do it, and the reward was 100,000 taels of silver. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't take a penny. You've made a lot of money!"

"Don't consider it, don't consider it!" The bald man shook his head fiercely and said: "Senior, you are such a person. You shouldn't do it for less than 100,000 taels. I can't let you suffer a loss!"

The old man took out a portrait from his arms and asked: "Tell me, have you seen this person?"

"No." The big man shook his head fiercely. Although the person in the portrait gave him a familiar feeling, he had never seen it before.

The old man frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Think about it again. That man is about this tall. There should be a girl beside him, no, a young man, dressed like an inn servant, and he should carry a sword with him..."

The bald bandit was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I seem to have seen it..."

...

"Five hours ago, they went down the mountain from this road..." The bald man showed a flattering look on his face and pointed to a mountain road.

"Not bad." The sloppy old man nodded, took out something from his arms and threw it to him.

"A reward for you!"

The bald man watched the old man throw a milky white square object in his hand into his mouth, looked at the same thing in his hand, and put it into his mouth as well.

The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly.

"This taste..."
