Gu Qiu stayed at Chi Yun's house for four or five days. He drank wine and meat every day, talked about the past and the present, and had a great time. Gu Qiu felt that his stay was too long and it was time for him to leave, so he said goodbye to Chi Yun and said
: "Chiyun, there's no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. I have other tasks, so I'll take my leave now."
Chiyun said: "Let's stay a little longer! I have something to say to you." Guqiu said: "Chiyun, don't say any more. I know you are reluctant to let me go, but I have to go. Originally, I
Divine Leader Ganzi sent me to find the whereabouts of the Purple-clothed Messenger, and I dare not waste too much time, otherwise I cannot afford to suffer the blame from Divine Leader Ganzi."
Chi Yun had no choice but to send him out of the villa and bid him farewell.
After Gu Qiu left, Chi Yun had been feeling depressed. He didn't know where the sadness came from.
On this day, the short-figured informant came again to report that there was important news. Chi Yun quickly invited him into the mansion.
As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and said, "Master, I'm so happy! I'm so happy!" The joy was beyond words.
Seeing his appearance, Chi Yun thought to himself: "I must have found those businessmen. If that's true, the mystery in my heart may be solved."
"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Chi Yun said.
The man pretended to be mysterious and said: "I went to the hotel where I met those businessmen again that day. The waiter told me that those businessmen came to drink again yesterday and got drunk. I left something with them and I
I bought it for ten taels of silver." As he said that, he took out a red cloth bag from his clothes.
His subordinates quickly took it and gave it to Chi Yun.
Chi Yun carefully uncovered the red cloth and was stunned for a moment. The fear in his eyes was like a fire that quickly burned through his body. He sat down on the chair. The boss didn't say a word for a while.
The people under him were also stunned. They didn't know what could make the owner of the village so scared. No one dared to speak, and the air seemed to be frozen.
The informant was also frightened. Knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he collapsed on the ground unable to move.
Slowly, Chi Yun regained his composure and said, "Let's go! Go to the accounting room and collect the money and leave quickly!"
What is the thing in Chi Yun's hand? It is not an ordinary object, but the symbol of the "Ice Sea Divine Pearl" that is respected by both the gods and demons. Legend has it that it was torn from the battle robe of Chi Hun, the god of war.
Yijiao. Legend has it that there were nine talismans of the "Ice Sea Divine Pearl" on Chihun, the god of war. It was because his opponent broke the talisman's protective energy that he mysteriously disappeared.
Chi Yun knew that the appearance of the "Ice Sea Divine Pearl" talisman was no accident. An ominous omen came to his mind.
He quickly informed his subordinates to close the door of the villa tightly and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.
After giving the order, everyone knew that today's situation was extraordinary, and they really felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Everyone was cautious, and no one dared to make a big statement.
Therefore, all the entrances up and down the villa were guarded. During the day, they did not leave the house, and at night, in the dark, they did not light a lamp.
After three days like this, Chi Yun saw that there was no movement, so he relaxed a little.
On the morning of the fourth day, his subordinates came to report: "Master, not far from the east gate of the villa, there are a few red deer running, followed by a few people hunting on horseback." Chi Yun said: "Don't make a fuss, anything
No one is allowed to leave the villa's gate."
The lady was worried and said quietly to Chi Yun: "It's time for you to tell me the truth! Are our enemies really here to seek revenge? Is it related to Chi Yu? We'd better hide! It's better than sitting back and waiting to be killed.
Bar!"
Chi Yun said: "You don't know! We have nowhere to hide, so it's better to wait and see what happens." Chi Yun and his wife have been together for so many years, and the wife knows Chi Yun's character well, so she doesn't say anything anymore.
Akabane was tired of staying indoors these past few days and tried his best to play in the yard. Madam had no choice but to let him go.
On the fifth day, when it was still dark, another subordinate came to report: "Master, there is a group of camels passing by the west gate, like a caravan." Chi Yun said: "Don't worry about it, just guard your own gate."
The villa fell into endless darkness. Everyone was silently praying for peace.
Chi Yun was sitting in the hall, holding an iron dagger in his hand, holding his breath. Although the silence was a bit scary, everything around him was under his control. Suddenly, there were several birdsong in the air.
He was shocked.
Chi Yun thought to himself: "If they were not frightened, they would never scream in the middle of the night."
Chi Yun wanted to stand up and look out the window, but before he could straighten up, all the candles in the room were lit up. Suddenly, he saw a man in black standing in the room, wearing a white mask, with two
His eyes were so gloomy that it made people tremble with fear.
When Chi Yun saw it, he hesitated for a moment, then immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, are you here to take my life? Then, just take it! Please, don't hurt my family and men."
"As I spoke, I shed tears.
The man in black looked at him and said nothing. After a while, he said with a hint of anger: "Chiyun, why have you become so weak now? Where has your heroic spirit gone? Look at you, now you have become
What's going on! It's really unattractive!" As he said that, he moved a few steps forward, and the candlelight flickered a few times.
Chi Yun did not refute, but still knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Okay! For the sake of your hard work raising Akabane over the years, you can leave tonight! However, you only need to take your wife and Akabane with you, and let everything else go!" said the man in black in his tone.
There is also a hint of sadness.
"You must remember your mission. Even if you die ten thousand times, you cannot let Akabane be harmed in the slightest. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to spare you, but you will not be able to escape the condemnation of your own conscience."
The man in black's words were loud and clear, hitting Chi Yun's heart with every word.
"I want to ask you something, was it you who took away Akabane that winter?" Chiyun said with doubtful eyes.
The man in black glanced over quickly and said nothing.
Chi Yun did not dare to ask any more questions, and quickly kowtowed and thanked her, and went to find his wife and Chi Yu.
Chi Yun entered the inner room and explained the current situation clearly to his wife. The lady did not panic or shed a tear. She just packed some clothes and went to urge Chi Yu.
In less than a cup of tea, two fast horses roared out from the south gate of Chihao Villa and soon disappeared into the vast darkness.
Chihao Villa burst into flames, and the Chi family's foundation for hundreds of years was instantly reduced to nothing.
