Chapter 407 Going Down the Mountain
Kindly please?Ji Chongyan drooped his eyes, covering the thoughts in his eyes, but the drooping eyes were only for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, he looked at the girl. The girl's eyes were full of tiredness, and her figure was wobbly, as if she was about to fall down in the next moment. He went down, but still insisted on standing, and asked him for a merciless favor.

Ji Chongyan said "OK".

The crowds that have stretched across Kowloon Ridge for many years have disappeared today.

When Lin Yan led his people to Ruiyuan Temple, he only saw Ruiyuan Temple as if it had been flattened, and everything he saw was a mess.Ji Chongyan leaned against the bushes outside the view, and picked up the girl who was leaning on the side and closed her eyes and fell asleep. His eyes fell on the girl, gentle and calm, but he said in his mouth: "There are treasures from the previous dynasty left in the view. Get someone to dig it out and take it away."

It goes without saying that Lin Yan nodded.But he didn't see only such a girl like Ji Chongyan, and didn't miss Yuqing lying on the ground with his face facing the ground. Lin Yan frowned: What's the matter with this little Taoist priest?If you fainted, you fainted. Wouldn't it hurt your face if you landed on your face first?

"He passed out, and then took all the remaining Taoist priests on Jiulongling away for interrogation. Those who are innocent will be released later, and those who know the truth must not be let go." Ji Chongyan said again.

The crime of treason, of course.

"That's it... I will leave the rest to you. I will take Miss Jiang Si down the mountain first!" Ji Chongyan nodded towards Lin Yan, and walked down the mountain with the girl in his arms.

It's not difficult to end this matter, but the trouble is really troublesome. Lin Yan sighed, turned to look at the officers and soldiers behind him, and said, "Come with me!"

Miss Jiang Si and Chongyan have already done the most dangerous thing, so what else can he shirk?
……

After waiting for a few days, I finally returned to Miss. A figure suddenly appeared at the end of the mountain road that I had seen countless times in the past few days.

The first thing that appeared in sight was a pair of black buckskin boots, which were only men's attire.

There were two people when we went there, but only one when we came back?
Xiangli, who was gnawing on the shortbread, felt her heart tense, subconsciously threw the shortbread in her hand, exclaimed "Miss" and ran towards the mountain road!

"Miss!"

"Where's our lady?"

At this time, who still remembers who the owner of the buckskin boots is, and what if he looks good?So what about power and dignity?Where is her lady?
Tears and snot poured out of Xiangli's face while running, looking embarrassed, funny and pitiful.

She screamed loudly: "Why are you alone..."

When he saw the sleeping girl, the conversation stopped in the middle.

Her young lady also came down, and was carried down the mountain by the Shizi.Xiangli stared blankly at the young lady in front of her. The robe on the young lady's body was covered with a lot of dust and sand, and there were many small tears. Her face was clean at first glance, but at a closer look, it seemed that someone had wiped it off. up.

Although she looked embarrassed, her breathing was steady, and Xiangli swallowed the words she wanted to question, and asked Ji Chongyan cautiously: "My son, my lady..."

Yuqing, who limped along behind him, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, not daring to look at it.

Where did this little maid come from, how did she have such courage?He screamed a few times like a human being and then was knocked out. He finally woke up, but he passed out again for some reason.

Although he didn't know how he fainted, but when he woke up just now, his face was covered with bruises. Most of the people who could do such a thing were this rich and tempered son.

You can get such treatment with a few screams, but this little girl pointed at his nose and questioned, this son... Yuqing shook her head and clicked her mouth: I guess the fate of this little girl will not be worse than How much better he is.

After waiting for a long while, the scene where the little maid was knocked out did not appear.

Shizi, who was pointed at the nose and scolded wrongly for no reason, had a surprisingly good temper at this moment.

Hearing the little maid's inquiry, he just glanced at the girl in his arms, and said softly: "She's just a little tired, she's not injured, don't worry!"

Oh, the lady is not hurt!Xiangli breathed a sigh of relief, and when she calmed down, she seemed to realize what she had just done, and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, but admitted her mistake very frankly.

"Just now... just now, the servant is in a hurry, my son, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Chongyan shook his head and said "no problem", then carried the girl and continued walking down the mountain.

The little maid carefully followed behind.

Yuqing: "..."

The co-author is the only one who treats him so fiercely, right?

……

Jinling Mansion has not been this lively for many years.

Although the coldness of Jiangnan Road is not as cold as that of wind, sand and rubble in Mobei outside the Great Wall, the chill that soaks into the bone marrow is still a bit unbearable.

As the end of the new year approaches, the taste of the new year becomes stronger, and the coldness soaked into the bone marrow becomes more and more damp.

Especially today... Yesterday the Qintian monitoring showed that the weather was fine, rainy and snowy. The first half of the night was fine with no wind or rain, but in the second half of the night, it suddenly started to rain. The rain mixed with snow, and the ground was wet. If you don't pay attention when you go out, you will slip. It really doesn't look like a good weather for going out.

It's just such a day, it's really not suitable for going out, but it doesn't hinder the enthusiasm of the people to come out to watch the fun.

Boxes and boxes of gold, silver and jewels were transported downhill from Kowloon Ridge and filled the open space in front of the government office.

The governor of Jinling Prefecture stood aside, with a reserved and dignified expression, and the voices of the common people continued to be heard.

"The treasures buried under those Taoist temples on Jiulongling are said to belong to the previous dynasty!"

"Hey! If I knew there were treasures buried under the Taoist temple, I would have gone to the mountain to dig for treasures. Maybe I would be rich now."

Such a saying of getting something for nothing and seeking pleasure has naturally attracted ridicule from many people.

"You are dreaming! Those Taoist priests are easy to get along with? I heard that the person who went up the mountain alone to enter the dragon's pool and tiger's lair this time is an unborn master! You want to go carefully and be chopped down by a Taoist priest!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that master even used gunpowder!"

The common people talked about it, and after discussing the treasure for a while, someone suddenly said "huh" and asked, "Then the gold, silver and jewels are left in Jinling Mansion or not?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of ridicule.

"What are you thinking! This kind of thing must be reported to the imperial court! Didn't you see Mr. Fu Yin standing next to those two young adults without saying a word?"

The mentioned Jinling Governor frowned: He has no greed for these treasures and Taoist priests. After all, he is not the one who did these things, and he is not greedy for merit. What makes him care about is the Holy Taoism...

The Holy Taoism involved the Taoist priests in the mountain and the people in the city below the mountain. There were people in the city secretly working as a cult, but he, the prefect, didn't know anything about it.

But apart from the rumors deliberately released by Ji Shizi and others a while ago about the matter of the Holy Taoism, he really hadn't received any news at all before, which is really strange.

The reason why the governor of Jinling did not receive the news was that this matter was not something that had been done in the past 20 years, so he should not be too harsh.

Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan stood in place for a while, and called the Yin of the Jinling Mansion to the back office of the Jinling Mansion.

"It's not good for a lower official to do things..." As soon as he arrived at the back office, the governor of Jinling took a step back and confessed his crime first.

Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan didn't ask him what he meant, but after a long pause, Lin Yan stepped forward and said: "As for the matter of this Holy Taoist temple, although their lair on Jiulongling has been almost solved, it is hard to guarantee No fish slipped through the net."

It has been a hundred years since this incident, and the Taoist priests on the Jiulongling group are naturally the remnants of it, but these people are by no means all.

The surviving children who were raised in the temple and were forced to become the tools of Emperor Wen's Spring and Autumn Dream ran away like crazy. People like Xiao Xuebai were all descendants of those children.

If these crazy and runaway children are poor people, it is possible that they do not want to participate in it.

But are all children unwilling?Also... not necessarily!Among them, isn't the once famous Mrs. Li an outlier?
Even though she was the descendant of those children, she also went down the mountain, but because of this, she has mastered a lot of poison poisoning techniques that are most likely learned from Ruiyuan Temple. Like Mrs. Li, it is very likely that she has become a participant from a victim.

After all, if that wasn't the case, where did Dali know about people like Xiu'er and Xiao Xuebai?

But is Mrs. Li the only one who is different?Neither Lin Yan nor Ji Chongyan is sure about this.

Therefore, tracing the whereabouts of those children is still very important.

Although this trip to Kowloon Ridge was complete, it still left a lot of tails!Therefore, the matter of the Holy Tao must continue to be investigated.

After hearing this, the governor of Jinling Prefecture bowed his head and accepted the order: what happened in the previous dynasty!It is really trivial and troublesome to check!It's just that this matter has to be investigated if it is not investigated. After all, it is related to a major matter of treason!

Right now, both Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan have a lot to do.

The corpses of those Taoist priests have been confirmed repeatedly. Wang Lu's corpse was also found in the mountains and bushes not far from Ruiyuan Temple, and he died when he was found.

The vicious old temple master was also buried under the gunpowder on the spot.

In addition, the Taoist priests on the mountain still have to interrogate whether it is related to this, know the inside story and other things, and the people in the yamen come and go in a hurry, and they are all in a hurry.

Holding a pigeon in her arms, Xiao Wu discussed with Xiang Li beside her.

In Gusu, Mrs. Yang has already found the missing "Dali". Her face was hurt and her temperament changed drastically. For a while, the guards of the Yang family did not dare to approach her.

But such a big change in temperament won't last long. Mrs. Yang is sorting out the affairs of the inner house these days, and she will go to see the hurt "Dali" in a few days. Although Xiaoxuebai and the others have made preparations, in the end Feeling apprehensive, knowing that Jiang Shaoyan had left the mountain ahead of time, she hurriedly sent a message to invite "Miss Jiang Si" to sit in the town, so as not to miss the trap.

Not only from Gusu, but also from Baoling sent letters urging Miss to go back.

Xiangli's small face twisted into a ball.

Mr. Jiang Er and Mr. Jiang San, who have been in prison for more than half a month, should be released. They were afraid that these two bad things would be released to cause trouble. The civil servants in Baoling deliberately tried to lock Mr. Jiang Er and Mr. Jiang together. , told them to fight again, and deliberately locked them up for a few more days under the pretext.

But this method can only be used once, and when it is used again two days ago, the second and third masters of Jiang will learn how to behave, knowing that these jailers and civil servants deliberately lured them to make mistakes.Therefore, even though their teeth were itching with hatred, the two of them didn't do anything.

In this way, there is no reason for him to be locked up anymore, and he should be released in these two days.

As soon as he heard that Fourth Miss Jiang was going down the mountain ahead of schedule, Manager Bai hurried over to ask "Miss Fourth Jiang" to sit down.

Eh!It's not good to be too capable.Xiang Lixin said, she can't leave Miss anywhere.

But these two things are optional, be careful, no matter it is Xiaoxuebai or Xiaoliulu, there will be no troubles.

The most troublesome thing right now is the young lady herself.

Xiangli pushed the door open a crack, carefully looked through the screen at the girl who was sleeping on the bed.

After I came back yesterday, I gave the young lady a rough cleaning, and the young lady fell asleep and hasn't woken up until now.

But... Looking at the little Taoist priest named Yuqing and the Taoist priest named Ziguang who was specially captured by Xiaowu, Xiangli looked dignified and serious.

After closing the door, Xiangli beckoned, and took the two of them for a few more steps. When they were far away and made sure that they would not disturb the sleeping lady inside, they coughed and asked first. Ziguang: "Is what you said true?"

Ziguang wore a crooked Taoist hat, and stretched out three fingers to make an oath, with a solemn expression: "Monks don't tell lies."

"That's what the Buddhist monk in the temple said!" Xiao Wu didn't understand these things, so he said casually.

After being said in this way, Ziguang's expression froze, but he just paused, still staring at the expression between his brows and eyes, and said seriously: "We Taoists don't lie casually. I heard it with my own ears!"

Although he told a lot of lies on weekdays, how could he dare to lie about that evil son?
"Miss Jiang Si really...has it!" Zi Guang said, glanced at Yu Qing who was at the side, and did not forget to push Yu Qing out, "If you don't believe me, ask Junior Brother Yu Qing!"

Yuqing: "..." In this world, there are very few ultimates like Miss Jiang Si who will stand up and stand in front of themselves when they encounter difficulties. Brother Ziguang like him is obviously not.

But this thing...

Yuqing recalled it seriously, thought for a while, and said a little more rigorously: "Miss Jiang Si didn't deny it, and the old temple master who was blown into a bloody man also said that Miss Jiang Si had it."

That's it...that's probably not wrong.

Xiangli and Xiaowu looked at each other: Although they must ask the lady's opinion before doing these things, this does not prevent them from planning in advance.

"I've been by Miss's side all the time, and I've never left Miss. I'm sure my lady was fine before going up the mountain!" Xiangli pursed her lower lip and said seriously, "After going up the mountain, I was with Prince Ji, so this It was obvious which child it was."

"Xiao Wu, wait until the young lady wakes up, we have to write a letter to tell uncle about this." Xiangli clenched her fists and said seriously, "We have to watch our uncle!"
