Yan Dynasty forbids cultivating immortals

Eleven rubbed his face and straightened up, Lu Li also poured a cup of tea, Chen Bi looked around, Shen Changliu was still staring blankly, and sat there blankly, he stared at Shen Changliu for a long time, then spoke slowly.

"Sect Master Yi Hui and Mr. Shen Li are best friends. Our Zhongnanshan faction, like Brother Yang, is here to uncover the old case." There is not much difference from the previous statement.

Yang Qi was dubious, "Then...why didn't you make it clear before, our direction is the same."

"Whether Mr. Shen Li's case is unjust or not is still uncertain. We, Zhong Nanshan, speak out blindly. We are suspected of slandering the courtiers and disrupting the court. Therefore, before the evidence is confirmed, it is not enough for outsiders."

This explanation can barely explain the reason why Zhong Nanshan has kept silent, but there are still some places that are not clear.

"At what age did Junior Brother Shen join Zhongnan?"

Chen Bi sat upright, "I have been in Zhongnan since I was a child, why did Brother Yang ask about this?"

Surprise flashed across Eleven's face, just as Lu Li handed a cup of tea to his mouth.

Yang Qi shook his head, "It's nothing, I always feel like I've seen Junior Brother Shen somewhere."

"Brother Yang must have misremembered. This is the first time Changliu has gone down the mountain."

Yang Qi agrees, "Hmm...maybe, I remember wrongly."

All of them were tired, but they couldn't go back to the post house to sleep, so they squatted overnight in the warm pavilion where no guests were kept, and thought about where to go tomorrow.In order to prevent sneak attacks at night, several people still took turns sleeping. Yang Qi had a rest among the strong men during the day, so he let disciple Zhong Nan sleep for a while.

When Chen Bi also held his breath and concentrated on sitting on a stool as if meditating, Yang Qi quietly stood up and moved to the window.

Yang Qi looked more and more like him, reached out and pinched Shen Changliu's face, but Shen Changliu didn't respond at all.Yang Qi felt relieved, and stretched out his hand to carefully wipe off the mud on Shen Changliu's face.After a few clicks, the white porcelain-like background was exposed again.

He touched Shen Changliu's face with his fingertips, but stopped kneading, "You...really...?"

Yang Qi smiled wryly, "It's not impossible, but I've always...didn't dare to think that way..."

Yang Qicai had been guarding for an hour, and the clerk knocked on the door, and there seemed to be some noise outside.

Yang Qi sat up from the stool, took the knife after thinking for a while, "Why? What's the matter?"

The clerk stood guard at the door, afraid of disturbing the rest of the people inside, and waited for Yang Qi to come over before he whispered into his ear, "The Hengnan Security Bureau is the people from the Hengnan Sect. They are here to find their masters. All the female apprentices from Situ City , also blocked the door, asking Chen Daxia to go out."

Yang Qi wondered, "What happened to the two of them?"

"It is said that they have not returned since they went out together yesterday. The head of the Hengnan faction wanted to escort a escort. He couldn't wait and went to the Situ's post to find someone, but was told that Mr. Situ was also missing. The two parties had already quarreled Once, and now they are all holding swords and knives to confront each other in the room, please ask Mr. Chen Bi to go out."

disappeared?Yang Qi turned to look at Chen Bi. Chen Bi had already got up, looked a little better, straightened his clothes, and said to the clerk, "You go out first, and I'll come later."

"Did Mr. Situ drink here yesterday morning?"

Chen Bi nodded, "Yes, with a few local literati, I often sit here."

Yang Qi suddenly remembered something. He chatted with Jiu Xian at the counter yesterday, and mentioned some news about the case.

Chen Bi was about to go out, but was stopped by Yang Qi, "Brother Chen, wait."

"how?"

Yang Qi hesitated and said, "Maybe Mr. Situ went to the back mountain?"

"how do you know?"

"We were talking yesterday, and he was by the side all the time, so it wasn't surprising."

Chen Bi hesitated: "Is that fire..."

Yang Qi shook his head, "I don't know, let me reason again, maybe it's not for burning the city. But you have to be prepared, the people in Situ City are always messing around, and the reckless people in Hengnan don't have enough brains, and now the killer doesn't know how to hide it." Be careful where you are."

Chen Bi nodded calmly, "I know."

In the lobby, two groups of people were at war.

As soon as Chen Bi went out, two female disciples came up to block the way, and someone from the Hengnan Sect also stepped forward, but they were overwhelmed by the crowd.

Chunying, who was a little taller, took the lead and made a clasping ceremony, "Chen Daxia, we are all ordered by you to assist Chen Daxia in investigating the case. Although we have no credit, we have worked hard. Now my son has disappeared. Seeing that Situ All the disciples in the city have been sticking to the face of this, and Chen Daxia has been responding to all calls in Jinan Mansion, can I ask the knights from all walks of life to provide some information."

Chen Bi comforted him, "Mr. Situ is very skilled in martial arts, so you don't have to worry too much. It's better to check things out before making a decision."

Chun Ying wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Jin beside her.

Chen Bi asked the Hengnan faction, and Xiao Gua'er stood up crying, "Our sect master was going to take the darts, but as soon as Mr. Situ came to the sect, he asked us to wait until he came back, but we didn't come back at night. , I went to the posthouse where Mr. Situ was located, and there was a mountain fire on the way. People, but they said that the head of the house never came, and they insisted that our head lost Mr. Situ..."

After listening, Chen Bi asked, "Have you gone to the yamen to ask? Is there anyone on duty on the mountain besides the county yamen. The head of Hengnan has always been warm-hearted. Maybe he was on the mountain to check the fire with the yamen."

Miss Xia Jin stood up, "We asked, and there are no people from the rivers and lakes and ordinary people on the mountain. Only the county government officials are patrolling the mountain."

"That means, it is true that Mr. Situ and the head of Hengnan have disappeared."

Both passers-by nodded.

Chen Bi felt that this matter was difficult. The head of the Yi faction and the young master of Situ City were not ordinary people. Suddenly there was no news, and there was no sign. The situation was not good.

"Where has the head of Hengnan stayed in the past few days?"

Xiao Gua'er wiped away tears, "No, I didn't go anywhere..."

Chen Bi asked the people in Situ City, "Young Master Situ often comes here to drink during the day, and Mr. Li and Mr. Wen who are with you have asked for news?"

Xia Jin said worriedly: "I also asked yesterday, and the two said that my young master is not abnormal, but he left the banquet earlier, and they also dispersed after the young master left."

"What time is it?"

"The third quarter of the first day."

Chen Bi asked the Hengnan School again, "When will your sect head go out with Mr. Situ?"

"Sizheng... two quarters..."

"After Mr. Situ left without keeping any guests, he went to find the head of Hengnan."

Xiao Gua'er burst into tears, "It's all your fault, you lost our master...where are we going without the master..."

Chunying burst out the words that had been in her heart for a long time, "If our son hadn't kindly given you alms, you would have starved to death long ago! Is there any time to worry about where the head is?"

Now the Hengnan faction has no place to put their face on, the head is not around and there is no one to discipline them, and they are angry and want to fight again.

Before Chen Bi could have a seizure, a huge wine jar fell from the sky and landed right between the two groups of people. With a "crash", it fell to pieces on the ground.

Both groups of people were stunned.

Jiu Xian frowned, "Is it over? Get out and fight!"

Jiu Xian had been pretending to be a sick cat just now, and people forgot which uncle opened the door, so they just jumped up and down, but now the master was annoyed and had a fit, and everyone stopped.

Chen Bi said immediately: "The city has been fighting fires for the past two days, so there is no one on the street. Now that the fire is out, people are returning to their residences. During the day, there are people coming and going on the street. If you go to the street and ask, someone must have seen it. .”

Xia Jin stepped forward, "Thank you, Daxia Chen, for your guidance, but our people in Situ City are always weak. If there is any danger, I hope that Daxia Chen can help."

"That's natural, Chen Bi will not hesitate."

Chun Ying wanted to go forward again, but was held back by Xia Jin. The female disciples in Situ City took the lead in leaving without leaving any guests.

Both groups of people withdrew, Chen Bi tiredly supported the wine table, the wine master waved to him, and threw him a bottle of medicine.

Yang Qi had been leaning on the door frame to watch the battle. When he saw Chen Bi coming in with medicine, he also went in immediately.

Eleven and Lu Li also woke up.

Chen Bi's footsteps were a little flimsy, and he could hardly hold on sitting on the stool.

"Eleven, help me change my medicine."

Chen Bi took off his upper body clothes, revealing the blood-stained white cloth strips, and peeled them off one by one.Finally, the hideous wound was exposed, and the sockets of Eleven's eyes turned red instantly.

Looking at the messy wounds, Yang Qi knew that Shen Changliu was left behind when he went berserk. A few killers would not make Zhong Nanshan disciple so embarrassed. He suffered so many sword wounds to restrain Shen Changliu.

Yang Qi consciously avoids it.

Chen Biman said apologetically, "Brother Yang made me laugh."

Yang Qixi sighed inaudibly, turned his back to Chen Bi and asked, "Have you noticed that you have been followed recently?"

Chen Bi's voice was a little trembling because of the hunger and pain, "I thought about it after being assassinated. It should be true. A few days ago, Changliu said that someone followed him for a short distance at Liubeichi, but he pushed him away. .”

"Then the killer may have lurked in long ago, and whoever finds the evidence will be silenced." Yang Qi paused, "So, Situ Qing and the head of Hengnan may also have disappeared because they found clues."

"There is such a possibility. After all, the two are not ordinary people. There is no other person in Jinan Prefecture who has the reason and the ability to assassinate the two people here." Chen Bi was puzzled again, "It is completely possible to speculate like this, but how did Situ Qing come from?" You guessed that there are clues on the back mountain from your few words, and then went to look for them?"

Yang Qi thought for a while, "There are two possibilities. One, he is just very happy, and he can't help but search for some news, and find the murderer who has become famous in the world. Most young people in the world have this problem. Second, he He knows more than us, and he only confirmed the news in his hands from scattered sentences. No one brought him, only the head of Hengnan. It is said that the two female servants, Chun Ying and Xia Jin, are masters. Instead of taking them, he went to head Hengnan, as if he was avoiding his own family."

Chen Bi: "There are many reasons for avoiding it. It may be too dangerous and not allowed, or it may be... the thing he is looking for, which is related to the Situ family. Once it is found out, it will be stopped."

Chen Bi had already changed his medicine, and Yang Qi turned around to face him, "Suppose Situ Qing has a secret, and this secret is related to Situ's family. Situ Qing knows a little bit about it. That day, he knew that there is a purple flowering plant in the back mountain. Eager to find out, so I found the outsider Hengnan Sect Leader to accompany me, went to the back mountain, and then disappeared."

Chen Bi: "If this is the case, he must know who raised Zihuapu. The appearance of Zihuapu in Xu Shilang's case verified some of his ideas, and made him eager to verify his guess."

"Now it can be speculated that the two have been killed. As long as someone sees them walking towards the back mountain, they can basically be sure."

Chen Bi asked again: "Situ Qing, why do you assume that he knows everything about this matter?"

Yang Qidao: "He comes to drink every day, and sits with some writers. If you listen carefully, you will know that those writers are all idiots. As Mr. Situ, the proud son of heaven, he disdains him. Yu and ordinary idiots sit together every day, but he sits for several months. Also, Mr. Situ suffers from asthma, which is not serious, and has been carefully recuperated, so ordinary people can't see it. People with asthma are sensitive to air. It is very taboo to change places, Jinan Mansion is dry in winter, Mr. Situ should not stay here for his own health, why insist on not leaving?"

Chen Bi was silent, and Yang Qi's expression was not relaxed, "Situ City is the number one city in the world, and it has a nickname called Xiao Guoku."

Yang Qi went on to explain, "Brother Chen has lived in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time. He may not know that the small treasury not only describes him as rich as an enemy, but also because corrupt officials from all walks of life like to lend money in Situcheng's bank, so Situcheng has a lot of ties to the officialdom. Situ Qing is the son of Lan Qiuyue and Situ Ying, so it is not surprising that he knows any secrets. Therefore, Situ Qing came to Jinan Mansion not only for the moral inspiration of the world."

Chen Bi shook his head, "I didn't know it was also called the Small National Treasury, but I just remembered that the Lord Lanqiuyue was a little..."

Yang Qi answered, "He is cruel and ruthless, and he likes to kill innocent people. Everyone in the world has heard of it."

"If it is true as speculated, it would be a big trouble for Mr. Situ to die here."

Yang Qi sighed, "If this is the case, there is no other way. It is important to find a way to get more information. Once Situ Qing disappears, Lan Qiuyue will definitely go north. Once she comes, things will become even more chaotic."

Yang Qi smelled the fragrance for Shen Changliu again, and Shen Changliu's eyelids were crooked as soon as he closed it. Yang Qi caught him, helped him to the table, and curled his arms to make him more comfortable.

The oil lamp on the table was burning silently, and the bean-sized light barely illuminated everyone's face.

Chen Bi glanced at a few juniors. Lu Li was a bit older but he hadn't experienced the sinister heart. Eleven was just a child. He regretted why he didn't send them away, leaving him alone.After all, this is obviously only the hatred between him and Shen Changliu, and what he owes Shen Changliu can only be repaid with his life.
