"What, you said that Taoist nun was the one who took Li Yi away from Kyoto?"
The King of Shu suddenly stood up from his chair and asked, "Where is he now?"
"The official has never seen Uncle Li. He must have been hidden by them." Jiang Zian said with a guilty look on his face: "The official is incompetent and failed to save the uncle Li from those people..."
"What about the Taoist nun?" King Shu asked again.
"It disappeared since last night." Jiang Zian lowered his head and said.
"try to find!"
The King of Shu slammed the table fiercely and said, "You must find him for me!"
A moment later, Jiang Zian walked out of Prince Shu's Mansion and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although almost a night had passed, the feeling in his heart at this time was still a bit complicated and difficult to describe.
He waved his hand and said to a policeman next to him: "Send the order and all the government officials and ministries will search each village. If there is any news about those people, report them immediately!"
At this time, in a village not far from Yong County, dozens of figures were waiting respectfully outside a certain courtyard.
In the courtyard, the man in purple bowed and said: "My Lady, we have sent people to look at the small bamboo forest that the man mentioned, but no Lord Protector was found."
The middle-aged Taoist nun was leaning on the head of the bed. Her bun was a little messy and her face was pale. She waved her hand and said, "Continue to search in the city. In addition, send more people to look for those two people..."
"yes!"
The man in purple responded and walked outside the door. After a while, the dozens of people in blue and yellow outside the door changed their clothes and dispersed.
In a dry well somewhere within Yongxian County, a man surnamed Fang looked pale, his acupuncture points were sealed, and his true energy could not circulate. He looked up at the sky at the mouth of the well, with a look of despair on his face.
…
…
Outside Yong County, somewhere deep in the mountains and forests.
The bald man leaned against a tree, his expression dull, his eyes dull, and he looked up at the sky.
"How much time do I have?"
After an unknown amount of time, his lips moved with difficulty.
A bandit beside him looked at the sky, sighed, and said, "Less than half an hour."
The bald man put his hands behind his head and said, "After today, you can go back."
"Brother..."
The bald man waved his hand and said: "Go back and farm hard. Although life will be a little harder, you won't starve to death. It's better than having your head stuck in your belt..."
"Smiling half-way... If I can't help laughing after a while, give me a good time, then dig a hole and bury it casually. Don't pile up soil, don't erect a monument, don't want anything." A trace of emotion appeared on the face of the bald man.
Smiling bitterly, "He bleeds from all his orifices, and his body explodes to death. It's so ugly..."
A bandit gritted his teeth and stood up, saying, "Brother, I'm going to get the antidote back!"
"It's too late." The bald bandit waved his hand and said, "Go back and bring me a message to your sister-in-law."
"Tell her that I will never regret marrying her in this life."
…
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have persuaded my brother in the first place!" A bandit gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and slashed the tree with his knife.
"In front of you, did you see a young man with a girl..."
A voice came from behind, and the bandit waved his hand impatiently and said: "Gungun, uncle is upset. Why are you making such a fuss? If you make any more noise, I'll chop you to death!"
Plop!
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the crook of his leg, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees.
"What did you just say?"
An old man with messy hair came up from behind, looked at him and asked.
The bandits' eyes suddenly opened wide and they trembled involuntarily.
"Senior..." Several people felt extremely frightened. Thinking of the horrific scene a few days ago, several people fell to their knees on the ground.
"It's you again!" The old man also had a look of surprise on his face, but he remembered that the bald man was the leader of the group. He walked over and asked: "Hey, have you ever seen a young man with... a beautiful man?"
The girl is bringing a young man with her?"
The bald man leaned against the tree, his expression neither sad nor happy. He glanced at the old man and did not answer.
The old man narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I'm asking you something!"
The bald man glanced at him again, his eyes indifferent and without any emotion.
The old man grabbed his neck, lifted him up and pressed him against the tree trunk, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
The bald man gave him a cold look and said, "Stop talking nonsense, kill me if you want, just like any mother-in-law or mother-in-law!"
The cold look on the old man's face disappeared and he looked at him in surprise, "Do you want to die?"
The bald man said calmly: "Anyway, the poison will take effect in half an hour. Just kill me and give me a good time."
The old man grabbed his wrist, explored it, and said in surprise: "It's not poisoned..."
The big man said coldly: "Hmph! That "smiling half-step epilepsy" is a rare poison in the world. If there is no antidote, I will laugh so much that my whole body will be full of ulcers, my meridians will be severed, and my body will explode after half an hour."
And died..."
The old man was even more surprised and said: "I have been in the world for decades and have never heard of such a strange poison."
"That's because you are ignorant." The bald man glanced at him and said, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. What nonsense, if you don't kill me, I'll find someone else to kill me!"
The old man smiled instead of being angry and said: "I am known as "Old Weird Xu" in the world. I didn't expect that you are even weirder than me. You actually begged others to kill you..."
"Brother, big brother!" At this time, I saw a figure running out of the house not far away, raising the paper in his hand, and said happily: "Brother, I found this in the room, that person said
What you took was not poison, it was all a lie!"
"Really?" The big man's expression was shocked. He took the paper from his hand. After reading it, he gave it to another person beside him and said, "Ergou, you have also read the book for two years. Look at what is written on it.
What!"
The man's gaze hurriedly glanced up, patted his thigh, and said, "Brother, it's true. The man left a letter, saying that what he gave you was not poison!"
The big man had a look of ecstasy on his face and murmured: "So, I don't have to die?"
"No, no, no..."
The old man glanced at him lightly, shook his head, and said: "I just thought about it seriously. Since you are bent on death, why don't I help you? If it spreads out in the future, it will also be a good word about being helpful to others."
The smile on the bald man's face froze.
Plop!
He knelt down on the ground, hugged the old man's thigh, and said with tears and runny nose: "Senior, I was wrong, I don't want to die. Don't you want to find someone? Let's talk about finding someone!"
"
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" The old man looked at him and said: "I was asked to take action, and the reward was one hundred thousand taels of silver. I am in a good mood today, so I won't take any penny. You have made a lot of money!"
"I won't think about it anymore, I won't think about it anymore!" The bald man shook his head fiercely and said, "What kind of person is the senior? You shouldn't take action with less than one hundred thousand taels. I can't let you suffer, junior!"
The old man took out a portrait from his arms and asked, "Tell me, have you seen this person?"
"No." The big man shook his head violently. Although the characters in the portrait felt very familiar to him, he had indeed never seen them before.
The old man frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Think about it again, that person is probably so tall, and there should be a girl, no, a young man beside him, dressed as an inn boy, and he should be carrying it with him.
A sword..."
The bald bandit was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think I've seen him before..."
…
"Five hours ago, they went down the mountain via this road..." The bald man pointed to a mountain road with a flattering look on his face.
"Not bad." The sloppy old man nodded, took something out of his arms, and threw it to him.
"It's your reward!"
The bald man watched the old man throw a milky white square object in his hand into his mouth, then looked at the exact same thing in his hand and put it into his mouth as well.
