Bad Man Li Tang Fengyun

Chapter 239
There was silence in the Chengming Hall, and the remaining people were stunned in place. Only You Chuan lowered his head, with an unknown look flashing in his eyes.

Chi Li murmured alone for a long time. If Wang Zongren was not dead, would Li Maozhen and Li Zui be dead?

The reason why he dared to occupy Nanzhao and plot the Central Plains was because the four overlords were dead and the Central Plains were leaderless and weak.

Chi Li just thought about it briefly and decided to send the retreating Gu army to Wumeng Mountain, the junction of Nanzhao and Shu.

"Chuan'er, the saint is hiding around the city of Yangju, going to bring her back for her father." Chi Li looked at You Chuan deeply and handed him a very important task.

Even You Chuan himself was stunned and a little confused as to why this task was given to him?

But You Chuan did not hesitate, lowered his hands slightly, held his chest with one hand, and quickly agreed to the matter.

You Chuan was actually very worried about Chi Meng, but he did not leave the palace that day. Chi Li knew the virtues of his adopted son very well, so all the actions that day were carried out without telling You Chuan, and You Chuan knew nothing.

Now that Chi Li has handed over the "important responsibility" to him again, You Chuan is also very uneasy. He understands that his adoptive father wants to use him to catch Chi Meng.

"Child, take orders!"

……

In the dark night, it was as if endless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, blocking the moonlight and starlight, leaving only specks of light in the palace.

Ji Ruxue left the princess's palace, wearing a black night clothes that perfectly outlined her perfect and exquisite figure.

Ji Ruxue looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but feel an unknown feeling in her heart. She was somewhat neurotic after being raised by Li Zhen.

Ji Ruxue put aside the messy thoughts in her mind and began to explore the so-called forbidden area according to the map in her memory.

Ji Ruxue's light body flew across the roof quickly, and she only heard a whirring sound of wind. Other than that, there was only a slight sound when Ji Ruxue landed on the ground.

A black shadow flashed across the sky, startling the maid who was keeping watch during the night. The maid picked up the paper lantern in her hand and poked her dozing companion with her elbow.

"Did you just see something that swished past?"

The sleepy palace maid rubbed her eyes, slapped her hand away, and said angrily, "It's late at night, don't scare yourself."

"But……"

Before the palace maid could finish her words, her companion covered her mouth and pushed her back to her original position.

"You come here in the first half of the night, and I will stand guard for you in the second half of the night. Okay, now I want to sleep."

After the sleepy palace maid finished speaking, she continued to use her unique skills, standing guard with one eye and resting with the other.

After a while, even breathing came from her mouth, and the little palace maid had fallen asleep.

Ji Ruxue's figure was lying tightly on the eaves. Seeing that the two palace ladies relaxed their vigilance, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost seen.

I couldn't help but curse myself secretly. I really had too many stable days, and I even forgot about the killer's stuff, which almost ruined the big thing.

Ji Ruxue lay quietly on the eaves, adjusting her breathing and integrating herself with the night. She waited for a while and saw that both of them fell into a state of confused sleepwalking, then jumped off the roof and walked towards the inside of the restricted area. .

Looking at the main hall without a single light, Ji Ruxue was extremely vigilant. Every step she took required careful consideration and careful observation.

Ji Ruxue walked all the way to the entrance of the hall and looked at the vermilion door in front of her. Ji Ruxue's raised hand stopped in mid-air. She was not sure that there was no strange Gu array or witch array here.

Ji Ruxue moved her ears slightly, tapped her toes on the ground, jumped up, hooked her hands on the protruding eaves, and swung herself to the roof. Then she looked at the shadow behind her. She just heard the sound of subtle footsteps.

Ji Ruxue didn't let Ji Ruxue wait for too long. This person walked out of the darkness. He was dressed in the same mask and black clothes. At a glance, he knew he was a colleague.

Ji Ruxue carefully observed the figure of the man in black and felt that he was probably a man.

Ji Ruxue did not disappoint. This person seemed to be very familiar with the layout here. His figure was seen jumping back and forth quickly on the ground, as if he was avoiding something strange.

He’s still a house thief!But looking at the scene of the man hiding, Ji Ruxue couldn't help but frown. Just now, she didn't do anything and just walked over like a meteor.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ruxue watched the man in black in front of her come to the door, holding strange fingers in his hand, and pressed his hand on the red door panel.

The door lit up with a strange purple light, which also confirmed Ji Ruxue's suspicion that Chi Li's hiding place was full of traps, and she was right not to move forward rashly just now.

As the purple light on the door gradually spread, as if some mechanism was triggered, the door automatically opened slowly to both sides.

The man in black walked in without any hesitation. After Ji Ruxue thought for a moment, she jumped down from the eaves and followed his footsteps.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue already had a guess in her mind. Based on what she had experienced in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and combined with Cong Chi Meng and Xian Shen's evaluation of him, this person was most likely You Chuan.

……

You Chuan's mood at this moment was very complicated. He was not like the old men, Hua Batzi and Guitou Yao, who regarded Chi Li's orders as an oracle.

You Chuan has his own thinking and understanding. After he came to Nanzhao and saw all this, he found that it was completely different from the scene described by his adoptive father.

And what he did after accepting Chi Li's order was more like an evil deed of aiding the tyrants, which reminded him again of what Chi Meng said in Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

The person who has been the troublemaker over the years has always been himself.

As the traps were unlocked in You Chuan's hands, his heart sank more and more. Under such a tight trap, he would not believe it if you said that there were no hidden secrets.

You Chuan's mind was shaken violently at this moment, and he did not realize that there was a tail following behind him.

As the downward secret passage came to an end, the last door that looked like a ferocious hungry ghost appeared in front of the two of them.

You Chuan reached out and pressed on the door knocker, pushed hard, and completely opened the two stone doors.

What comes into view are countless dark jars, just like the eggs that are neatly placed there when cultivating Gu insects, waiting to hatch.

This scene brought great shock to You Chuan, because he knew that those monsters were bred in this jar.

Ji Ruxue, who was following him, also covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from making any sound.

These hundreds of jars were neatly placed here, which gave her a shocking feeling.She also had a hunch that those invisible monsters were hidden here.

Ji Ruxue looked at You Chuan, who was stiff in front of him, and after making an evaluation of him in her mind, she finally decided to take a gamble.

Ji Ruxue moved her steps and deliberately made some noises, which just interrupted You Chuan who was deep in thought.

You Chuan suddenly turned around, and three feather darts flew out of his hand, forming a "pin" shape and hitting the direction of the sound.

Ji Ruxue easily dodged the darts fired by You Chuan through mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations.

Ji Ruxue spread her hands out in front of her body, trying her best to show that she had no ill intentions.

You Chuan also looked suspiciously at the woman who suddenly revealed her figure. It was obvious from her figure alone that she was a pretty woman.

You Chuan thought for a moment and thought about all the people around his adoptive father. He had some doubts that the person in front of him was not the guard arranged by his adoptive father.

Youchuan's muscles tensed up, ready to take action at any time. He lowered his voice and asked in a hoarse voice,

"who are you."

After hearing this voice, Ji Ruxue strengthened her inner judgment. Everyone's voice is unique.

If he has not learned to change his voice alone, then no matter how much he restrains himself, the essence of his voice will not change.

Ji Ruxue was not polite to him and called his name bluntly, "Okay, no need to pretend anymore, I can tell you are You Chuan at a glance.

Tell me what's in these jars?Then tonight I will pretend that you have never been here, and everyone will be fine. "

Seeing Ji Ruxue reveal his identity, You Chuan's pupils shrank, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Now the situation is dark and clear, and someone has taken advantage of him, but there is one good thing. At least this person is not his adoptive father's.But You Chuan did not compromise immediately, and asked without any sign of weakness, "Why should a person who hides his head and shows his tail should cooperate with me?"

Ji Ruxue sneered and ignored You Chuan. She had completely guessed You Chuan's little thoughts. In this situation, it was not Ji Ruxue who was afraid of being exposed, but the young priest You Chuan.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, You Chuan failed to hold on to the psychological pressure and took the lead in choosing to compromise.

"Show your sincerity first, and then discuss the next step of cooperation. Otherwise, I will have to call someone to arrest the thief who sneaked into the forbidden area."

Ji Ruxue's eyes moved slightly, and she had an idea in her mind. She opened her mouth and said softly, "Lu Linxuan."

You Chuan was stunned, thinking of the little girl who attacked him at night with Chi Meng that day. Unfortunately, there was insufficient light underground, and You Chuan didn't notice any clues. Instead, he blurted out immediately,

"Why are you back again? I heard afterwards that my adoptive father sent people to surround you. How is Chi Meng's condition? Is he injured?"

Ji Ruxue's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that You Chuan could reach this point, and she couldn't help but equate him with Li Xingyun.

These two people are the same kind of people.

Ji Ruxue didn't give You Chuan a chance to express her concern for Chi Meng. She coughed twice to attract his attention to her.

"Let's get down to business first, what exactly is this place?"

At this moment, You Chuan had been completely pierced by the word Chi Meng. He could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south, and he had no idea why she, "Lu Linxuan," knew this place.

At this time, he had already regarded Ji Ruxue as Lu Linxuan, and then told her everything here and his guess without reservation.

"This should be the place where my adoptive father refined the Weapon God and Monster Altar..."

Ji Ruxue listened silently without interrupting You Chuan's words. Before You Chuan could speak for too long, there was a commotion above.

Ji Ruxue's eyes moved slightly, and she guessed the reason. It should be that she triggered a strange mechanism when she first entered.

You Chuan was also startled by this sudden change, and without any hesitation, he took Ji Ruxue and ran upward.

When the two of them arrived on the ground, they could already see dots of yellow candlelight appearing from a distance.

You Chuan turned to Ji Ruxue and said solemnly, "Tonight's guard, I am responsible for the east side. If you can escape from that way, tell Chi Meng not to come back again."

After speaking, the two left in opposite directions. Ji Ruxue stood on the roof and looked at You Chuan's figure, silently shaking her head.

……

Chi Li had already arrived in the basement secret room. Looking at the underground secret room without any changes, Chi Li was also very puzzled. This thief ran into his own secret room but did not take or destroy anything?

Chi Li raised one hand and squeezed it hard in front of him. Purple internal energy burst out from the palm of his hand, turning into a circle of energy and spreading around.

Balls of cold white light rose from the surrounding candlelights, illuminating the entire ground in a miserable white color.

Chi Li looked at the ground, where were the three lonely feather darts. A suction force erupted from his palm, sucking the feather darts into his palm.

Chi Li stared at the palm with his purple-gold eyes for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "My son Youchuan, why are you always so curious."

Just after Chi Li sighed, a tall and thin figure from the old ministry appeared next to him, knelt on one knee and said respectfully,
"For the information of the Grand Imperial Master, there have been reports from secret posts in various places in the palace. They have not seen anyone coming in or out."

Chi Li already had the answer in his mind, and was not surprised by this result. After all, no matter how perfect the defense was, it would be difficult to stop the thieves.

In the palace where Qianwu was, Ji Ruxue returned at night, took advantage of the gap in the window, jumped up, and got into the palace through the narrow gap.

As soon as Ji Ruxue landed, she rolled twice on the ground to remove the tunnel. Before she could stand up, she was knocked down by a black shadow.

The two figures hugged each other and rolled around on the ground several times. Finally, Qianwu sat on Ji Ruxue's chest, pressed his knee against Ji Ruxue's left hand, and held down her right hand with his other hand.

Qianwu's other hand was pressed on Ji Ruxue's snow-white jade neck. Judging from this posture, he had not slept all night. As soon as he found out that the person coming was wrong, he planned to break his neck directly.

After seeing the person clearly, Qianwu also got off Ji Ruxue, grabbed Ji Ruxue's jade hand and pulled her up from the ground.

Then a small Gu insect flew into Ji Ruxue's ear along Qianwu's green-white fingertips.

Ji Ruxue didn't hesitate and immediately told Qianwu everything she saw tonight.

As Ji Ruxue narrated, Qianwu's expression became more and more solemn. She had already seen the horror of the God of War and Monster Altar.

But here, there are hundreds of monsters under just one forbidden area, which is no longer something they can handle.

Now we can only risk exposure by contacting people outside to pass on this dangerous news.

The two looked at each other, and Ji Ruxue instantly understood what Qianwu meant. She picked up a hairpin and came to the door to look out for the wind for Qianwu.

Inside the room, Qianwu's hands were quickly kneading in front of his chest. Twelvedong naturally had their own unique way of conveying information.

As Qianwu muttered words, a strange wave came from her body, and then an invisible sound wave appeared and spread to all directions.

It was like a breeze blowing by, causing the curtains and windows to sway slightly, but there was no sound.

Now all they can do is wait!

……

Outside Nanzhao Yangjumei City,
On an inconspicuous hill, there was a cave covered by weeds. Inside the cave, Chi Meng and Lu Linxuan were leaning against each other.

Chi Meng's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened a crack. Looking at the dim and humid environment around him, memories flooded into his mind like a tide.

They were ambushed. Although they subdued the woman, they were also delayed and their retreat was blocked by the Gu Master and pursuers.

Although Shui Linghua's poison did not cause much harm to them because they had eaten Millennium Fire Ganoderma, poisons like this would definitely have an impact after being eaten.

This also caused Chi Meng and Lu Linxuan's internal energy operation to become somewhat stagnant, and the human sea tactics sent by Chi Li slowed them down.

Finally, under Lu Linxuan's explosion, Qinglian Sword Song pushed forward with all his strength, and a huge green lotus killed everyone, and then they were out of danger.

Chi Meng looked at Lu Linxuan, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and stretched out his hand to straighten her messy hair. Such a huge movement did not wake her up, which was enough to show that Lu Linxuan was really exhausted.

Chi Meng relied on the golden silkworm Gu to recover much faster than Lu Linxuan. She set up a Gu formation at the entrance of the cave and walked toward the stream in her memory when she escaped.

Chi Meng carefully cleaned up all traces of himself and Lu Linxuan all the way to the stream in his memory.

At this moment, Chi Meng had no idea how long she and Lu Linxuan had been unconscious. She only remembered that it was daytime when she escaped, and it was also daytime when she woke up.

As for judging the number of days of coma based on hunger, Chi Meng simply couldn't do this.Because of the golden silkworm Gu, Chi Meng's appetite has always been large, and he still needs supplements from time to time to maintain his physical strength.

Not to mention, this was after using the Golden Silkworm Gu to recuperate his body. Chi Meng touched his withered belly, preparing to catch a few fish and take them back to satisfy Lu Linxuan temporarily.

After Chi Meng briefly washed himself by the stream, he took out a strange seed, pressed it into the ground, and then chanted a curse in his mouth.

A huge purple vine arched out from under the earth, leaving behind a huge flower that resembled a morning glory.

Chi Meng sank the huge flower into the stream to absorb enough water, and then held it in her hands, as if she was holding a shallow stream of water in the air.

Looking carefully, there were small white stones in her palms, which emitted white light under Chi Meng's urging.

One by one, the little Gu bugs broke out of their shells, flew up from Chi Meng's hand, and flew in all directions. The Star Firefly Gu would emit a star-like brilliance, but it was very inconspicuous during the day.

But this is not a problem. Star Firefly Gu is refined from fresh ginseng and specially used to coax Chi Meng to play. Others cannot recognize it in the daytime, but fresh ginseng will certainly be able to recognize it.

After working for a while, Chi Meng caught a few small fish from the stream and returned to their hiding place carrying the water-filled flower.

Now Chi Meng's task is to take care of the disabled Lu Linxuan and wait for the rescue of his father and mother.
