Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 162 Mysterious Basement

In front of Wang Bo's pretentious embarrassment, in fact, he just wants Ye Chen to remember his favor more.

Ye Chen knew this well, but he was also happy to see the results. It is always a good thing for Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai to owe him more life-saving grace.

"Since my lord interceded for the two of them, I will boldly show favoritism and let the members of the Bai family go." Wang Bo made enough gestures, and finally said reluctantly.

Wang Bo gave face so much, Ye Chen would naturally reciprocate it, bowed deeply to Wang Bo, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I will definitely repay you generously in the future."

Wang Bo was very satisfied with Ye Chen's reaction, but he didn't dare to make too much of it. Before Ye Chen really bowed down, he held Ye Chen's arm and said, "My lord, you are welcome."

As soon as Bai Canghai got out of the prison cell, he wanted to get his sword back from the jailer, and then left quickly with a murderous look on his face.Bai Zixuan asked, "Where is Junior Brother going?"

Bai Canghai said: "I'm going to Slender West Lake."

Bai Zixuan asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Canghai said: "Kill!"

Then without waiting for Bai Zixuan to say anything, he left quickly.Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed. After all, Wang Bo, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was still there. He had just begged Bai Zixuan to be released, but the latter said without hesitation that he was going to kill someone.However, Wang Bo didn't seem to have heard the conversation between Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai at all, but according to Ye Chen's intention, let people not release more than 60 swordsmen of the Bai family in another cell.

Ye Chen knew what Bai Canghai was doing.

More than a year ago, not only the ghost doctor and Bai Chenao made a bet, but also a third person, who was the owner of the tavern next to the Slender West Lake.At that time, apart from the bet between the ghost doctor and Bai Chenao, the owner of the tavern also had an agreement with the ghost doctor and Bai Chenao.

The content of the agreement is: Anyone who wants to see the ghost doctor must give 100 taels of gold to the tavern owner, and the tavern owner will be responsible for sending the person to Dokdo Island, and provide the ghost doctor with food for a meal each time.Until Bai Chenao dies, the owner of the tavern will be free, and all the gold collected before will belong to him.

The masked man who killed Bai Chenao was naturally the owner of the tavern, and Ye Chen smelled it rather than recognized it.

Ye Chen sometimes thinks these days that his nose may already be better than the animal with the most sensitive sense of smell in the world.Everyone has their own unique smell, and ordinary noses can't distinguish it naturally, but Ye Chen can now.

However, what puzzled Ye Chen was how did Bai Canghai recognize the masked owner of the tavern?
Ye Chen didn't think about this question for a long time, because there was a matter in front of him that he needed to deal with as soon as possible.

How to solve the problem of more than 60 swordsmen in the Bai family, they are still controlled by Shangguan Bingyun's sorcery.

To kill him directly, Ye Chen had the idea of ​​once and for all, but Bai Canghai and Bai Zixuan would not agree.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Daoxiang came back.With her agility and strength, entering and exiting the Yangzhou Prison was like no one's land.

Yu Daoxiang looked happily and complicatedly at Ye Chen, but didn't say anything, but Ye Chen felt that there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, which made Ye Chen feel inexplicably jumping in his heart.

"They fell under Shangguan Bingyun's mind control technique, Li Siyan! You play a divine song to wake them up." Yu Daoxiang looked away and said to Li Siyan.

Li Siyan respectfully said yes, when he and Zhan Xiongwu and others were released just now, the jailer had already returned their belongings, including Li Siyan's side weapon, the pipa.

noon.

The autumn sun is gorgeous, but the autumn wind is bleak.

There are geese in the wind.

The sound of geese is sad, and the autumn feeling is even more bleak.

Autumn is originally a world of sounds, and the sound of wild geese is the soul in the sounds of autumn.

The horseshoe has nothing to do with the sound of autumn, it can be heard anytime and anywhere.

This time, it even dispelled the soul in Qiu Sheng.

The resonant sound of geese was suddenly drowned out by thunderous hoofbeats.

With thunderous hoofs, 160 rode into Yangzhou City and rushed into the long street.

Although the long street at the gate of Yangzhou City is wide, it can only accommodate four riders in parallel.

There are dense trees on both sides, and these knights are covered with tall northern horses.

Therefore, before the horse arrived, the whip arrived first, and the whips of the trees on both sides of the entrance of the long street shattered and flew in the shadow of the whip. The sky was full of dust behind the horse's hooves, and the leaves fell like rain in the dust.

The knights rushed into the long street and separated.

The horseshoe also slowed down.

Ma Gangzi and Li Junhao rode in the lead, walking slowly with their bridles on their bridles. These 100 people were obviously only dressed in blue and strong clothes, but under the autumn sun, there was an extra sense of killing on the battlefield.

In addition to Li Junhao and his two subordinates, the other 160 people consisted of 160 guards from Xiangfubo Mansion and [-] guards from Luo Mansion and Cao Mansion.They all have one thing in common, they are all composed of veterans of the Song Dynasty Imperial Army.Before retiring from the army, he followed the army to fight in the north and south, and he did not know how many people he killed.The killing aura unique to elite soldiers is completely different from those who are brave, ruthless, and undisciplined.

It's just that everyone has a dusty look on their faces, and it can be seen that they are very tired.

No matter who it is, if they only sleep for two or three hours a day and travel around for nearly half a month, they will be very tired.

Yesterday the Maitreya Sect's signal was heard by Mr. Xu who was looking around for news. He contacted Li Junhao and Ma Gangzi who were looking for Ye Chen nearby, and rushed to Yangzhou as quickly as possible.

The incident that happened in the Yangzhou gambling house yesterday was too big, and the day passed, and the entire Yangzhou people did not know about it.Li Junhao and Ma Gangzi found out what happened easily and found the Yamen of the prefect of Yangzhou.

Therefore, when Ye Chen came out from the magistrate's office, there was a large group of people.

Bai Zixuan hurried back to Jianzhuang with more than 60 swordsmen who had returned to normal.During this day and night, many things may have happened to Jianzhuang, which lost its master.

Ye Chen met Han Keer and the Kou family in a hurry, and asked Li Zhong to take twenty guards to protect Han Keer and the Kou family, and to prepare for the boat going north and prepare for any time. Ready to leave.This kind of thing is easy to solve with only money.And Ma Gangzi brought a lot of money when he went south this time.

Ye Chen still has something to do.And his time is still tight.

Shangguan Bingyun escaped, so he must have gone back to Jinling to rescue soldiers.Although there are fewer masters of Maitreya Sect than Tianyiyi and Taiping Sect, they are numerous and powerful.

As for the leader of the Maitreya Sect, Lou Yanming, the king of the Ming Dynasty known as the Four Great Masters in the World, is very likely to take action in person.What's more, Yangzhou is really close to Jinling.

There are quite a lot of people around Ye Chen now, the super masters include Yu Daoxiang, Zhan Xiongwu, Li Siyan, Ma Gangzi, and Li Junhao are also first-class masters, not to mention more than 100 guards who have experienced many battles.In Yangzhou, there are two powerful supporters, Jianzhuang and Zhifu Yamen.

However, even with such a strong lineup, according to the results of discussions between Ye Chen and Yu Daoxiang, Li Junhao, Zhan Xiongwu, Li Siyan and others, there is no confidence that Lou Yanming can 100% protect Ye Chen.

The only thing that reassured Ye Chen was that Yu Daoxiang told him in private that Lou Yanming was concerned about her father and would not do anything easily.But it's just that he won't do it easily, and it doesn't mean that he won't do it himself.

Therefore, Ye Chen should leave Yangzhou as soon as possible, and go north to Song Dynasty.

He still has at least three days to do something before he leaves, though.

For example, kill all the people related to Grandma Huzi's death to avenge the latter.Then let Ma Gangzi lead people to uproot all the hidden forces of Maitreya Sect near Yangzhou with the help of two powerful local snakes, Jianzhuang and Yangzhou Zhifu Yamen.

These matters, Ye Chen had discussed and agreed in front of the prefect Wang Bo and Bai Zixuan in the prison, and the three parties immediately carried out the implementation.

Yu Daoxiang has seen Ye Chen's voice, and she can't cure it, and verified one thing, Ye Chen's voice will become dumb again in one day.

Therefore, Ye Chen's top priority is to find a ghost doctor to cure his throat first, and if he can't cure it for a while, he will find a way to take the ghost doctor away.

Ye Chen took Yu Daoxiang, Li Siyan, Zhan Xiongwu, and Li Junhao into the tavern next to the Slender West Lake, and a dozen other guards were standing outside.

There was no one in the tavern, neither Bai Canghai nor the mysterious owner of the tavern were there, all the tables and chairs were intact, and there were no traces of anyone fighting here.

Ye Chen just came in to take a look. With Bai Canghai's swordsmanship and strong fighting power, he wasn't very worried.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange sound. Ye Chen glanced at the others and found that none of the people who came in, including Yu Daoxiang, heard the sound.

The sound came from underground.Ye Chen remembered that when he first came here, he heard a slight sound of heavy objects falling into the deep cellar outside the tavern.Said: "There should be a basement here, everyone look for it."

The entrance to the basement was very secret, but except for Ye Chen, everyone was experienced in the world. After a lot of effort, they found a very ingeniously designed basement entrance in the rice tank in the tavern's kitchen.

Zhan Xiongwu took a few to go down to explore the way first, followed by Ye Chen, Yu Daoxiang, and Li Siyan, and Li Junhao guarded the entrance and did not go down.

There were actually six permanent lamps in the basement, and the bright lights illuminated the whole house like daytime.

After everyone easily saw the basement clearly, they felt an inexplicable strangeness and mystery.

The four walls and walls of the basement were painted dead black, the roof and the floor were also dead black, even the only table and chair and a set of mattresses were pitch black, and the whole room seemed to be in the shadow of death.

In front of a wall, there is an altar with a dark veil hanging low. I don't know what is on the altar?
In front of the altar is a sacrificial table with two black tripods and a black basin placed on it.

Seeing the altar and the things on the sacrificial table, Li Siyan was momentarily suspicious.

Elder Xu actually noticed the change of expression on Li Siyan's face, and immediately asked, "Miss Li seems to know what that is?"
