Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 145 Meet the Gu Master

As soon as Chu Ci's words came out, the three people in the flower hall laughed, and Liang Ming's face turned red. She gritted her teeth and glanced at Chu Ci, and said angrily, "Sister Chu, why are you telling the truth!"

Chu Ci was so annoyed by her, the smile on his face deepened, he leaned forward, patted her hand lightly, and flattered him, "It's my sister's fault, my sister will apologize to you, and I won't say anything like this in the future The truth is, how do you see it?"

"Hmph!" Liang Mingxin turned his head away, with an arrogant expression on his face, unwilling to accept Chuci's selling out.

Seeing this, Chu Ci had no choice but to look at Yang's pleadingly again, and said, "Sister Mingxin is really angry with me, I'm afraid I need to ask Madam to say something nice for me now!"

When Yang heard what Chu Ci said, there was nothing wrong with it. She immediately looked at Liang Mingxin, scolded her a few words half-truthfully, and mentioned again that Chu Ci had seen her before.

Liang Mingxin wasn't really angry with Chu Ci in the first place, but now that Yang's conciliation made him not take Qiao, he immediately smiled at Chu Ci and hummed softly to express his willingness to forgive her...

After what happened to Liang Mingxin, the originally tense atmosphere was immediately resolved.

After that, Chu Ci made people serve the new scented tea and snacks.

The three of them ate tea and pastries, and the atmosphere became better easily.

By the time we finished speaking and parted, it was almost dark.

Liang Ming held Chu Ci's hand reluctantly, and refused to leave for a long time.

Chu Ci had no choice but to promise her some rouge and scented tea, and sent her out of the Chu residence.

Liang Mingxin was satisfied with this, and after getting into the car, he reluctantly left.

Chu Ci watched the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion leave, and returned to the Chu residence after a while.

After sitting with her in the flower hall for a whole day, she originally wanted to take a bath to relieve her fatigue, but who knew that just as she had asked someone to prepare fragrant soup on her front foot, the guard next to Meng Jing knocked on the window of the dormitory .

She got off the couch in three steps at a time, opened the window, looked at the dark guard standing in the night, frowned and asked solemnly, "...but the Gu Master has already made arrangements?"

"Returning to the Princess Concubine, it has already been arranged. If it is convenient for you, the subordinate can pick you up."

"Well, I see, you wait for me to put on a big cloak, and I'll follow you right away!" After Chu Ci finished speaking, he put down the window and walked towards the cage behind the screen.

Soon, she changed her clothes under the service of Zhexia and Qingmiao, and then walked out with Zhexia.

The carriage was prepared by the dark guard a long time ago. It looks ordinary, but inside it is very warm and comfortable, exactly the same as the carriage Meng Jing arranged for her before.

After the two got into the carriage, the dark guard drove away quickly in the carriage.

In the carriage, after hearing Chu Ci say that he was going to see the Gu Master, Zhe Xia immediately frowned, looked at her and asked suspiciously, "Young lady, why didn't you wait for Miss Yiying to come back, and see that Gu Master again?"

Chu Ci shook his head solemnly, and said, "It's too late, I have to meet that Gu Master now to confirm one of my guesses, if it's too late, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing what she said seriously, Zhe Xia frowned even more, "I don't understand what you mean."

"You'll understand when you see that Gu Master later!" Chu Ci glanced at her sideways, then quickly closed his eyes.

She wasn't sure if she would use her mental power later, she had to prepare in advance now.

The carriage ran on the dark official road for more than an hour, and only stopped around Haishi.

"Concubine Shizi, we're here!" After parking the car, the dark guard whispered to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci said "I know", got up and walked outside.

Outside, the car ladder was also ready, she held Zhexia's hand and walked down quickly.

Looking around, she saw a farm in front of her.

The farm is not big, and you can see the end at a glance. There are only five bungalows and a small courtyard inside.

"Is the ancient hall locked here?" Chu Ci turned to look at the guard standing beside her, and asked in a cold voice.

The dark guard clasped his hands and said, "The words of Hui Shizi Concubine are exactly right. Will this subordinate take you in now?"

Chu Ci said "hmm", "I'm ready, let's go!"

"Yes, Shizifei!" The dark guard replied again, then exchanged glances with Zhe Xia and the other dark guards beside him, and then led Chuci inside.

After entering the farm, the hidden guard did not walk towards the main room among the five bungalows, but walked towards the woodshed beside him.

After arriving at the woodshed, he turned another mechanism, and the originally flat ground of the woodshed was immediately pushed away to the two sides, and then a row of stone steps appeared in front of several people.

The secret guard held the fire folder in his hand, he turned his head and explained to Chu Ci, "The ancient hall is locked in the stone room below", and walked down first.

Chu Ci was walked in the middle with Zhe Xia's support.

They went down step by step.

After walking dozens of steps and turning a few more turns, he arrived at the stone chamber that the dark guard mentioned.

Because the oil lamps were always on in the stone room, it was very bright. Chu Ci took a rough look and found that the space underneath was not small. There were at least seven or eight rooms, about a hundred square meters.

And the ancient hall was locked in the last room.

"Concubine Shizi, please!" After arriving at the last door, the secret guard cupped his hands and asked Chu Ci to advance.

Chu Ci knew that if he dared to let him go first, he must have swept away all the dangers, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and walked in.

After entering the stone room, she immediately saw the ancient hall tied up in the middle by iron chains. The man was about thirty years old, with a beard growing on his purple-red face. There was messy bloodstains on one face, which looked terrifying.

As for his body, it can no longer be called a body. His limbs are all twisted together from top to bottom. If she guessed correctly, she should have suffered from a well-known man in the world...

"You...what else do you want?" Chu Ci was thinking about it, when the man suddenly raised his head, glared at her and asked a question.

When Chu Ci was watched by him like this, he felt a chill all over his body, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Speak! Say!" Seeing that she was silent, Gu Tang shook the iron chain on his body vigorously, and shouted again.

His aura is too strong.

The resentment all over his body was too bitter.

Chu Ci unconsciously took half a step back.

"Girl, are you alright?" Zhe Xia felt Chu Ci's heartfelt fear, and hurriedly supported her to ask.

Chu Ci gritted his teeth, held Zhe Xia's hand tightly, and said with difficulty, "I'm fine!"

"Are you really alright?" Zhexia was still a little worried, and after a moment of meditation, he asked another question.

Chu Ci looked up at her and shook his head slightly.

After a while, she looked at the hidden guard at the side again, and said, "My legs are a little weak, can you go out and help me move a chair?"

"Concubine Shizi wait a moment, this subordinate will go right away!" For Chuci's request, the hidden guard did not refuse, and agreed, turned around and walked out.

Chu Ci supported Zhexia's hand, lowered his head, and waited in the stone room for a while before the dark guard moved the chair in.

After Chu Ci sat down in the chair, he found that the secret guard had arranged more than that.

Because not long after, another small table was moved in. There were still some snacks and a cup of hot tea on the table.

Chu Ci looked at these and felt embarrassed.

She's here for interrogation, not for a picnic... Maybe the dark guard misunderstood something.

With this doubt, she looked at the dark guard brightly, but the dark guard had a serious expression on his face, as if serving her like this was what he should have done in the first place.

Chu Ci had nothing to say, so he took a sip of the hot tea in front of him.

After suppressing everything in her heart, she looked at the ancient hall in front of her, raised her eyebrows and said, "I have a question to ask you now, if you answer honestly, I will send you back to southern Xinjiang, as long as If you don’t set foot in the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely not make things difficult for you, but if you don’t answer honestly, then I will definitely let you live or die! Do you understand?!”

Gu Tang didn't seem to expect that she would leave him a way out, and immediately raised his head in shock, stared at her for a long while, then asked in a rough voice, "Can you be the master of those people?"

"What do you think!" Chu Ci glanced at him indifferently, and pretended to be deep, "I can appear here to interrogate you, and I have already revealed a lot of things, haven't I?"

Hearing what she said, Gu Tang blinked his eyes lightly. After a pause, he confirmed again, "What you said is true? Can you really be Meng Jing's master and give me a way out?!"

"Yes, I can be his master and give you a way out!" After pondering for a while, Chu Ci looked into his eyes and said word by word, "I have already answered you this question honestly, we can talk now. Anything else?"

"...What do you want to ask me?" Gutang looked at her for a while, then asked in a low voice.

Chu Ci looked straight at him, and said word by word, "I want to know why you spelled your own name and helped Jueming escape. The relationship between you is not so good, is it? ?”

"So you want to know this!" Gu Tang sneered.

Then, he didn't know what he thought of, a strange look appeared on his face, and he kept silent again.

"Will you tell me the answer to this question?" Chu Ci frowned tightly, looked at him, paused, and said, "I promise, everything I said just now counts... As long as you tell me the answer to this question, I will send you back to southern Xinjiang!"

Gutang listened to what she said.

He raised his head and sneered at her, "Do you think I will believe you?... Only women and villains are hard to raise! I'm afraid I will die sooner if I believe you!"

"I said it, every word I said counts!" Chu Ci clenched his fists and said word by word, "As long as you trust me and tell me the answer to this question, then you can come back alive." To the southern border!"

"I told you, I don't believe you!" Gu Tang scolded coldly.

Next, no matter how Chu Ci assured him, he just made up his mind not to believe it.

It looked like Chu Ci was trying to lie to his answer, and then torture him to death.

The hidden guard at the side saw the back and forth between Chuci and Gutang. After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Concubine Shizi, is this answer very important to you?"

Chu Ci looked up at the dark guard and said, "It's very important! It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a matter of life and death!"

"Then...if you can trust him, why not hand him over to your subordinates, who promise to help you find the answer to this question!" He raised his head and gave Gutang a threatening look.

It can be said that Gutang has suffered from the dark guards these days.

Now that he looked at it like this, he felt that all the bones in his body were aching, and there was an expression on his face that he would rather die than live.

Chu Ci saw the interaction between these two people in his eyes. At this moment, he still didn't understand the secret guard's scheming.

At that moment, she rolled her eyes and said to the hidden guard, "In that case, then I will hand him over to you. You can interrogate him without worrying about his life or death. I will prepare to hang him outside for you." The ginseng soup...you know my medical skills, just relying on bigu pills and ginseng soup, there is absolutely no problem in keeping him alive for ten days and a half months!"

With that said, she stood up and walked out without looking back.

Behind her, after hearing her words, Gu Tang's complexion turned even worse, as if mourning.

Chu Ci also studied psychology.

She knows that the man's psychology has reached a critical point, and this moment is the easiest to be overcome, so she walks out very well...

She just walked step by step.

Every time it hit, it looked like it was falling on the ground, but in fact it fell heavily on Gutang's heart.

When she took the last step, as she expected, Gu Tang's compromising voice came from behind, "You... don't go anymore, I said, I said yes! Come back quickly! Don't hand me over to this A few savages!"

When Chu Ci heard Gutang's compromise, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a triumphant smile.

But to Gutang's regret, she didn't stop immediately, but continued to walk outside.

Seeing Chu Ci's figure disappear bit by bit, Gu Tang felt his heart go cold, as if he had fallen from the mortal world to the [-]th floor of hell...

After Chu Ci left, the dark guard was not polite.

He came forward, first helped Gu Tang straighten the twisted bones, and then helped him stretch his tendons again...

After this encounter, Gu Tang only felt that he had been reincarnated from hell and heaven several times.

The sound of his shouting almost overturned the entire stone room!

It was at this time that Chu Ci came in from the outside.

After she sat down on her seat, she raised her head and gave Gu Tang a cold look, "I don't know what you're thinking about?"

What else can Gutang say!

Before Chu Ci came, he had no hope, even begging for mercy was useless, so no matter how poisonous the instruments of torture were, he would suffer as long as he suffered!
But now that Chu Ci is here, she brought him a hope, even if this hope is false, but he still can't help but believe and look forward to it!
Still the same sentence, when people are hopeless, no matter what they bear, they will not feel too bitter!But once people have hope, the original bitterness and suffering will become a thousand times more difficult!

Gutang is like this now!

Tempted by the hope given by Chu Ci, he really can't bear a little bit of suffering now!
In particular, Chuci's hope may leave at any time!
So he cherishes it even more now!
"I am willing! I am willing!" He looked at Chu Ci with burning eyes, and shouted loudly, "I have already considered it, as long as you are willing to let me go back to southern Xinjiang, I am willing to answer you and tell you anything. !"

"Yeah!" Chu Ci nodded, "I see... tell me now, why is it that you are willing to risk your own life to save Jueming and escape! Remember, don't try to lie to me, otherwise ... I'll let you taste the disjointed hand just now!"

"I, how dare I lie to you!" Gu Tang was really scared, he shook the iron chain on his body, expressed his sincerity to Chu Ci, and then began to answer her question——

"Actually, I don't know the answer to this question, and I don't remember very clearly what happened at that time. I only know that Jueming's eyes seem to have magical powers. When I look into his eyes, I will I feel very sleepy and want to sleep... Then when I wake up again, I will not consciously listen to him, no matter what he says, I will feel very reasonable and want to obey him without principle!"

……

"So that's the case!" Chu Ci's expression darkened when he heard Gu Tang describe his feelings, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

"Do you know what's going on?" Gu Tang subconsciously asked when he saw Chu Ci's clear expression.

Chu Ci ignored Gutang, but stood up and was about to walk out.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Tang's face suddenly changed, remembering that she hadn't fulfilled her promise to him, he became anxious again, frantically shaking the iron chain on his body, and shouted at her, "Hey! Hey! I promise you What you promised me has been done, but what you promised me has not been fulfilled! Didn't you say that you would escort me back to southern Xinjiang? Hey! Hey! Woman!" He yelled desperately.

But Chu Ci acted as if he didn't hear it, and didn't stop until he was about to walk out of the stone room, turned his head to look at him, and said slowly, "Didn't you say that only women and villains are difficult to raise?"

Gutang: "..."

Damn, he really wants to curse!
But before he could open his mouth, Chu Ci's groan was as startled, turned around the stone room, and completely disappeared.

Outside the stone chamber, Zhe Xia walked out with Chu Ci, and asked worriedly, "Girl, I have already got the answer you want, and I dare to ask... Could it be that Jue Ming's bald eyes really have supernatural powers? "

Hearing Zhe Xia's question, Chu Ci tilted his head, smiled wryly, and said, "It's not a supernatural power, but it's just a bit difficult!"

"But this servant still doesn't understand..." Zhe Xia shook her head and frowned, "How did he make Gu Tang work for him regardless of his name!"

"Hypnotize!" Chu Ci sighed after stepping on the last step, "He can hypnotize!"

"Hypnosis?" Zhexia was puzzled!
Chu Ci had no choice but to explain the meaning of these two words to her in a language she could understand.

After Zhexia listened, she thought for a while before she understood, paused, looked at Chu Ci again, and said, "Young lady knows so much, so do you know how to hypnotize?"

Chu Ci nodded, "I would, but I'm afraid that my accomplishments are not as good as Jueming, and I will meet him! Instead, I will be ruled by him!"

"Then what should we do? We can't directly destroy that old thief's bald eyes!" Zhexia said helplessly and full of hostility.

After she finished speaking, Chu Ci's eyes lit up, "Return his eyes? This is a good idea!"

Zhe Xia: "Girl really intends to do this?"

Chu Ci nodded, "According to what Gutang said, Jueming's hypnosis is mainly through his eyes. If his eyes can be destroyed, then the most important problem will naturally be solved!"

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Zhe Xia had nothing to say now, and said "hmm", "Then what we need to do now is to find out Jueming's whereabouts!"

Chu Ci nodded.

After the two left the farm, not long after they got into the carriage, the dark guards also came out.

Chu Ci thought that someone from Meng Jing's side should be looking for Jueming, so he told him what he had just thought.

The hidden guard followed Meng Jing to fight on the battlefield. In his bones, he had no objection to Chu Ci's strategy. He nodded and said that he would report to Meng Jing later. After getting into the carriage, he drove to the Chu residence again.

After that, they ran all the way again.

By the time of the Chu residence, it was already ugly time.

Seeing that Chu Ci had taken a bath, he dried his hair and fell asleep.

And the dark guard went to Zhuangzi where Meng Jing was located overnight.

What happened today has a lot to do with it, and he didn't dare to delay, so he reported it directly to Han Cang. After Han Cang heard it, he quickly told Meng Jing.

After Meng Jing learned about it, she got up without saying a word. After getting dressed, she went to the study.

In the study, after the dark guard saluted Meng Jing, he reported tonight's events in detail from beginning to end.

When Meng Jing heard that Chu Ci actually went to see Gu Tang in person, his brows frowned suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at the dark guard coldly and asked, "Why didn't you report this matter to the king earlier?"

Hearing the words, the dark guard's face froze, and it took a long time before he realized what was wrong with him!

The next moment, the original action of kneeling on one knee became kneeling on both knees, cupped hands, and said word by word, "I know I was wrong, I did not put the safety of the crown prince first, please forgive me !"

Meng Jing snorted coldly, looked at him and said, "I thought you didn't know where you were wrong!"

The dark guard's expression turned even worse!
The head hangs even lower!
He wanted to explain, but he was afraid that if he explained, he would be punished more harshly, so he could only keep silent and wait for his master's punishment silently.

But to his surprise, the master didn't announce his punishment immediately, but asked him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and ordered him to lead someone to hunt down Jueming himself, and asked for his eyes.

If this errand is done well, it will be regarded as a crime and a meritorious service!But if he can't do it well, he will be punished for several crimes at that time, so he has to ask for two hundred army sticks!
"Yes, this subordinate takes orders!" After thinking about this, the dark guard clapped his hands with a bit of bitterness.

Meng Jing glanced at him, didn't say anything, waved his hand to let him leave.

Seeing this, the dark guard didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly retreated!
