Ban Fang

Chapter 152: Take Soul
"Let's take a look at his hair first." Cheng Yun came to the boy's head and used wooden clips to part the bun.

He clearly saw that the man's hairpin had an extra silver needle that was thinner than a strand of hair and went straight into his forehead, so he removed the bun, and the hairpin didn't fall off.

It's not how much confidence he has in his slaves, but the dozens of taels of silver at the scene. If it can become an inducement for the servants of the Prince Regent's House to rebel, it is really time for the Palace to review itself. The rewards of no-names are actually higher than those, how could they rebel because of dozens of taels of silver?
It just so happened that he noticed the reflection of the thin needle in the hair and disassembled the bun for autopsy, otherwise it would be impossible to find that the boy's head was pierced with a thin needle exceeding five inches.

Yan Yan asked in confusion, "This is?"

Li Qiu clutched his arms and said shiveringly: "This is a long-lost soul-retrieving needle."

"Aunt knows?" Cheng Yun had no choice but to praise this aunt whom Yan Xi called a living treasure.

Li Qiu nodded, and explained in a soft voice: "The Pei family has accepted all the scrolls from the previous dynasty, so as not to cause such unscrupulous methods to harm the court again."

Soul-taking needles have been extinct in Kyushu for hundreds of years since the history of the Four Kingdoms. The former dynasty used this method to control the courtiers. Those who were controlled completely obeyed the orders. Even if the needles were pulled out, it would take several years to cultivate their minds before they can fully recover. .

A few years before Emperor Zhaoning abdicated, he didn’t listen to courtiers Chen Biao’s advice, ignored the people’s livelihood, and only prayed that everything in the court would go smoothly. Pei’s family and Li’s family, who were prime ministers at the time, exposed the incident. The general, who cooperated with the outside world, launched a silent coup d'état, asking the former Emperor Zhaoning to step down from the throne, and the four kingdoms were separated from then on.

The Li family didn't want to be king, so they followed the family precepts for thousands of years and assisted the Beiyong Dynasty in the family's territory, and they were worshiped by the Yong Dynasty for hundreds of years.

The Pei family also didn't want to be called king and chose to live in seclusion at the junction of the four kingdoms, and set up discipline not to interfere with court affairs, leaving only three generations and one relative in the same line as Xi Yao.

This is the first time since the separation of the four kingdoms, I have seen the appearance of the soul-taking needle.

After Emperor Zhaoning abdicated, he retreated to the border of East Vietnam. For hundreds of years, there was only one line of inheritance. The legacy of Emperor Zhaoning never entered the court as an official from generation to generation. Could it be that King Yi of East Vietnam cooperated with the descendants of Emperor Zhaoning?

In the history of the previous dynasty, Yan Xi learned a lot from Li Qiu's stories, and it was also the first time he saw the soul-taking needle.

She couldn't help feeling bored and flustered.

The reason why the previous dynasty could be reversed was because the soul-taking needle was not used in these six families, and the reason why it was not used probably depended on whose family moved the meteorite frequently.

Judging from the present, the Pei family moved the most frequently. Without her in the Li family, it would be useless to move, and it would probably be miserable.

The three generations of one parent are interesting!

She was curious, who was pointing it?Fox Fairy?
By means of marriage, the Pei Cheng family will maintain an indelible connection, and the heirs they will have will be related to the method of dissolving the formation of the Fushitang of the Li family.

After Shenyou came back for a week, Liqiu also finished explaining the origin of the soul-taking needle, glanced at her man with big eyes, and mumbled: "Dongyue. I will still go."

Cheng Yun sighed helplessly...

Do you want to go despite all difficulties?
"Now that the soul-taking needle reappears, Dongyue's trip is inevitable." Li Qiu quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Girl, we have to send someone to go because it is related to the mountain gate."

If Lidong was disturbed by the soul-taking needle in Dongyue, how could she enjoy happiness by the girl's side?
Seeing this, Chu Feng kowtowed to the two masters, and said anxiously, "Chu Feng is willing to go."

Cheng Yun understands that if Yan Xie has to go to Dongyue anyway, it is absolutely necessary to send someone to explore the way first, looking at Chu Feng who is also a father and friend, it is the first time that he asks to leave his side.

Although he knew that he had been happy with the beginning of autumn for a long time, Yan Xie knew it but didn't intend to make do with it. After thinking about it, he also knew that this matter would not be easy, and now it might be a good thing for them to go to Dongyue together.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yun helped the two of them up, eyes full of complicated thoughts, and murmured: "Dongyue is not friendly to other countries, the road is difficult and dangerous, even so, the two of you are still determined to go?"

Li Qiu bowed to Yan Xie again, and said sincerely: "Li Qiu dare not forget the responsibility of the mountain gate. Li Qiu entrusted the girl with great blessings and enjoyed the blessings for many years. When it is time to fulfill her responsibilities, Li Qiu dare not shirk."

She has traveled around the world for many years, helping to deliver news from various countries back to the mountain gate, and she has eaten and slept in the open. These years can be said to be a sudden happiness.

Then he turned around and bowed to Cheng Yun, respectfully said: "Before the mountain gate comes to take over the responsibility of Li Qiu, I ask my uncle to take care of my girl."

Who said Liqiu won't do what he likes?Isn't this a good use?

Look at Cheng Yun's brows and eyes widening when he was called out by the son-in-law.

Yan Xie smiled wryly, approached Li Qiu and held Hao's wrist, and said worriedly: "Gu Gu has been a bright person by my side for a long time, it is hard to be a dark thread, and she was injured not long ago, Gu Gu really wants to go?"

Li Qiu gave Yan Xie a warm hug, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, if there is a way, girls can do it, can't Li Qiu not do it? Besides, you pointed out the guards?"

Having said that, after getting along for so many years, I still feel uneasy about her going on an adventure first.

"How will I contact my aunt in the future?" Yan Xie said, tears were about to fall.

Dongyue, wait!She will definitely bring her aunt back.

"I will definitely send a residence newspaper for the girl alone." Li Qiu didn't dare to press down on his life.

Seeing that she has forgotten the family letter that the senior brother should give, if there is an emergency, it is better for the girl not to worry about it.

Cheng Yun took off the jade que from his waist and handed it to Li Qiu, and said solemnly: "Before going to Dongyue, first go to Dongyi City to look for Li Xuan. He has been guarding it for so many years, and he must be full of anger. Let him know that he doesn't need to guard it."

Yan Yu frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Isn't this just frank, they took away what he had been holding on to for so many years?

Cheng Yun took a cotton cloth to cover his palm, raised his breath and hit the boy's chin, and took the soul-taking needle flying out of his head with his other palm, wrapped it up and handed it to Chu Feng.

He evoked an inscrutable smile and said: "Tell him, I suspect that he deliberately sneaked into Xi Yao, intending to cause trouble in the Prince Regent's mansion, see if he can jump, and take you back to Dongyue."

Li Xuan has a violent temper and cannot tolerate being misunderstood or betrayed. According to his temperament, he will definitely go back to China first to clarify the matter.

If he doesn't check, at least one person will come back.

He held Chu Feng's palm tightly with a dignified expression, and said solemnly: "Remember to deliver it privately." Then he turned to Li Qiu and said with a calm smile, "I believe that Chu Feng is willing to lay down his life for you."

These words made Li Qiu's thoughts suddenly jerk, how could she not understand the intention of Cheng Yun's explanation?
Chu Feng gave the master and son a resolute look of dying for a confidant, patted his chest and said, "Chu Feng has no regrets."

Li Qiu looked at the man who was willing to change her life for her, the same personal attendant beside the master, and for the first time saw this man who was over thirty years old and still handsome, and was so moved that he was speechless.

"Li Qiu will not disgrace her fate." Following the rules of the world, she respectfully bowed to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was still happy with this respectful ceremony, at least this was their first formal communication.

　Good night~ I will go to bed first after get off work
