DWGL _ Chapter - 40

Chapter 40 It's not that important to find you.

"More than ten years ago, someone from the Chaoya clan made a trip to the Imperial Palace." Duan Bai Yue said, "Does Master Jing know why?"

Jing Liutian shook his head, "I wish to hear about it."

"This king doesn't know either, but I heard that when they were leaving, these Chaoya clansmen demanded a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry from the Chu Emperor." Duan Bai Yue said, "If it is true that the island is full of gold, why would they care about these things?"

Jing Liutian said, "Greed is endless."

"It's hard to say whether it's greedy or not, but there's always a difference between what people do is reasonable and unreasonable." Duan Bai Yue said, "If the Chaoya Clan really has mountains of gold, then one box more or one box less won't make much of a difference. If you go all the way to the palace to do something for the Chu Emperor, but only to bring back two boxes of dispensable gold, you might as well not want to do anything, and you can still get a reputation for being a noble person, so that you can ask for other favors in the future."

Jing Liutian frowned: "What does Wang Ye mean to say that my brother lied?"

"Those words were spoken by Master Jing." Duan Bai Yue smiles, "This king is only making a guess, as for whether it's true or false, I'm afraid the only one who can tell is Master Jing himself."

Jing Liutian smiled thoughtfully.

"How is Yu Shu's behavior?" Duan Bai Yue poured a glass of wine for herself.

"Not good, not bad, these Chu officials, I am afraid that 80% of them are like him." Jing Liutian said, "Some corruption, no great evil, will collude with the village gentry to do some unseemly deeds, but also for the people to build roads and pave bridges to solve the case to send food."

"What about the Chaoya clansmen?" Duan Bai Yue asked, "Where did they go?"

Jing Liutian said, "At first, Yu Shu said that this group of people are witches and should be killed without mercy. Feiluan Luo collects money to do the job, notified a lot of people in the Jianghu, cow ghosts, snakes and gods, but no one has been to the government to collect the reward, and recently there is even no news, presumably already fled.

"Where did they flee to?" Duan Bai Yue asked again. "South or north?"

“Go north." Jing Liutian replied, “It's hard to say why Yu Shu died. However, it shouldn't be the work of the Chaoya people themselves. Except for their ability to confuse people with lost sounds, they are not very good at kung fu. The wound in Yu Shu's throat was very deep. He was sealed with a sword. The time of his murder was in the afternoon. The family patrolling in the courtyard only had time to see a flash of black shadow in front of him, and the concubine in the study began to scream, and when the door was broken into, Yu Shu was already sitting in a chair and broke off his breath."

“There is a concubine in the study?” Duan Bai Yue touched his chin.

“It was the girl brought back from the brothel in Wang Cheng, named Cuigu." Jing Liutian said, "There is no background, and her appearance is mediocre, but her voice is gentle and moving, which is why Yu Shu spends money to redeem the person.”

“As the owner of Feiluan Lou, there should be no problem if you want to intervene in the investigation." Duan Bai Yue said, “Can you ask the concubine a few questions for the king?"

“Naturally." Jing Liutian nodded.

The two of them hadn't even finished their bottle of wine when the subordinate came to report that someone had come to see them, claiming that the family's youngest prince was in trouble.

"Xiao Wang Ye?" Jing Liutian looked towards Duan Bai Yue.

After leaving the door, the visitor was really Duan Nian.

"What happened?" Duan Bai Yue frowned, "Why are you alone, where is Yao-er?"

"Back to Wang Ye, Xiao Wang Ye has run away with someone." Duan Nian gasped.

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

Ran off with someone? 

"At nighttime, Xiao Wang Ye wanted to eat river food, so we went to look for a restaurant." Duan Nian said, "It so happened that there met the people of the Riyue Mountain Villa, Xiao Wang Ye and they talked happily, and when this subordinate came back after settling the bill, the people had already disappeared." Asked Xiao Er, only said he was out of the city, he chased ten miles, and did not see the shadow of the people, had no choice but to come back to report first.

"Really Riyue Villa people?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Duan Nian has not yet spoken, Jing Liutian first said on the side: "Recently, I heard that Young Master Shen sent some people to Luozhou, if they want to go back to Riyue Villa, they should go through this place. Moreover, Cangnan state is Feiluan Lou's territory, there shouldn't be anyone bold enough to dare to pretend to be Riyue Villa."

"If that's the case, then let him go." Duan Bai Yue said, "Enough fun will naturally come back, not enough fun all the way to Jiangnan, the Shen family should not be stingy with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice."

Jing Liutian laughed out loud, " Wang Ye is really good at doing business."

Duan Nian was filled with sadness, nodding his head and taking orders.

On the other end of the mountain road, Riyue Mountain Villa's secret guard is reaching out and pointing: "This is the direction, when we entered the city that day, we personally saw that there were black-clothed people walking towards the mountain, but we didn't think too much about it, if we knew that it was the Chaoya clan, we would have followed them in."

"Thanks." Duan Yao said, "I'll go take a look."

"Xiao Wang Ye should wait until daytime." Secret guard said, "This place has many fierce dangers, known as the nine ghosts down the mountain, not that it is really haunted, but the mountain road is too slippery and muddy, and there are falling rocks, so I'm afraid that if I go alone at night, I'm afraid that we'll be in danger."

"It won't hurt." Duan Yao was stubborn, "If we delay another day, I don't know where we'll find them again."

It was hard to get a clue.

The secret guards of Riyue Villa looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, and couldn't beat him, so they had to walk into the mountains behind them-otherwise, if they were injured as a result, it would be really hard to explain to Xinan Mansion.

The wind was gusty in the mountains, and listening carefully to the cries of young children, it was really creepy. Seeing Duan Yao just walking forward without saying a word, the secret guards of Riyue Villa had a headache, not to mention that the nine ghosts stretched down the mountain for a long time. It was impossible to find someone with just a few torches in the middle of the night.

“Quack!" The purple toad called in his arms.

Secret Guards of Riyue Villa: “...”

What the hell.

Duan Yao's footsteps accelerated more and more.

“Quack quack!" The purple Toad screamed very happily.

After a while, there was a rustling sound on both sides of the road, and dozens of snakes crawled out in the blink of an eye, all colors of red, white, black and green.

“Don't hurt them." Duan Yao turned around and exclaimed.

The secret guards of Riyue Villa had no choice but to insert the drawn swords back again.

The little bugs buzzed and flew around the top of their heads, soon circling into a black foggy dragon that was not afraid of the torches. All the bugs along the way seemed to have been awakened from their dreams, and they followed along in a menacing manner.

Looking at the colorful bugs around Duan Yao, the secret guards of Riyue Mountain Villa had goosebumps on their bodies. Compared to this, the compulsion bugs that Master Ye had previously kept in the mountain villa were really nothing to look at. It is said that Xinan mansion is a nest of poisonous insects. Earlier we still did not believe, but now we really believe.

Insects chirping louder and louder, to the end, the whole mountain is bustling.

The people climbed to the highest rock, Duan Yao put the purple toad into a small pocket, said: "Look around, there should be a fire soon, be careful not to hurt people, but also be careful of their Chaoya maze sound."

The secret guards of Riyue Mountain Villa nodded their heads and split up to search in all directions.

"There!" Soon someone spotted the firelight, which looked like a water stream in the mountain.

"Go!" Duan Yao decided to run down the mountain.

Countless bugs buzzed and drilled their way into the cave, and poisonous snakes hissed and spat their letters. The woman in black was holding her baby in her arms, her eyes full of panic. More than ten men in black surrounded her, holding torches in their hands, constantly dispersing the snakes, insects, rats and ants that pounced on her.

"There are too many poisonous insects here, it's not necessary to fight." The woman said anxiously, "Let's go.”

"Let's go? Outside the government, those dogs and thieves are still waiting to kill people." One of the men said fiercely, "I don't know which demonic sect is using this kind of dirty trick, don't panic, we will definitely protect you and your little girl to go to the royal city to see the Chu Emperor and ask for his blessing."

The little baby was shocked and began to wail at the top of his voice, and his voice was especially pitiful in the darkness. The woman hurriedly covered the baby's mouth for fear of attracting pursuers.

Duan Yao jumped down from the top, and there were seven or eight secret guards from Riyue Mountain Villa.

The woman was so panicked that she took two steps backward and almost fell to the ground.

"Big sister, don't be afraid." Duan Yao hurriedly said, "We are not bad people."

"Bah, you, money-minded thieves, and who wants to offer a reward for killing us?" The man in black unsheathed his sword.

"I also want to know who is trying to kill you guys." Duan Yao spread his hands, "So why don't we go back to the inn and talk slowly?"

"Did you make these poisonous insects?" The man asked impatiently, "Who are you?"

Duan Yao did not answer the question, but pointed backward and said, "These are the people from the Riyue Mountain Villa, Riyue Mountain Villa, you've heard of it, haven't you?" The most righteous one in the Jianghu.

"You are Lord Ye?" The man was skeptical.

Duan Yao quickly shook his head, "I'm not." That Divine Doctor is very fierce, who'd pretend to be him?

"The young gentleman is a friend of my family's second young master." The secret guards of Riyue Mountain Villa explained, "We also met him on the way and accompanied him into the mountain to look for you all. These poisonous insects are the next best thing, and we are not trying to make things difficult for you. However, if not, no matter what you say, the humidity in this mountain is heavy, and if the little doll stays here for a long time, I am afraid that he will fall sick."

"What do you want to do?" The man continued to ask.

Duan Yao said: "I don't know."

Man: "......"

The little doll stopped crying, biting its finger and looking at the circle of people around it.

Duan Yao said, "The Emperor is looking for you."

"Emperor Chu?" When the man heard this, he was first stunned, but then he was skeptical.

Duan Yao said, "What's the point of lying to you, I'm also doing a favor for someone, that Yu Shu outside is already dead, and I don't know who killed him, even if it's for the sake of solving the case, sooner or later, someone will come to search the mountain, are you guys really not going to leave?"

"Yu Shu is dead?" The man in black was overjoyed.

Duan Yao said, "He was killed by a sword, and now the people are saying that it's because he offended you guys."

"Offended us?" The man in black laughed back in anger, "If there was really a way to kill him, why would we be in such a sorry state."

"So out of the mountain?" Duan Yao yawned, "My brother is also here, the emperor Chu ordered him to investigate this matter thoroughly, he is in the city at the moment, he is not in the same league as Yu Shu."

"Why should we believe you?" The woman asked pointedly.

"Believe it or not is up to you, but if you don't, we'll have to knock you out and take you out." Duan Yao said, "It will take more effort and hurt the peace, so we should not do it if we can. As for Chaoya maze song, Riyue Mountain Villa has practiced Yueyang Heart Technique, so I'm afraid that it's useless even if you sing through your voices."

As soon as the words left his mouth, someone hummed out.

The secret guards of Riyue Mountain Villa really didn't react much, but Duan Yao hurriedly reached out to cover his ears because it was really hard to hear.

In the Jianghu, the only internal martial arts method that can exclude the three realms and six desires from the body is the Yueyang method. The black-robed man of Chao Ya looked like he believed in it quite a bit.

"Let's go." Duan Yao said, "Otherwise, it's time for the sun to come up, and then there will be trouble again."

Seeing that the people were still hesitant, the secret guard of Riyue Mountain Villa had no choice but to say, "At least go with us for one person, and then come back to pick up your companions after confirming that what you say is true."

“I'll go with you.” The woman handed the baby in her arms to one of the men in black.

“Shenggu." The man dissuaded, “How can we wait for Shenggu to take risks and let Ah Si follow."

"You can do as you please, there's no need to rob." Duan Yao said, "After the suspicions are cleared, the rest of us can enter the city."

The woman nodded, with doubts in her eyes, but there was nothing she could do: “It's okay.”

“Let's go." Duan Yao jumped up the mountain road, patted the soil and walked forward. The man named Ah Si also followed. The secret guards of Riyue Villa accompanied the rest of the Chaoya people and waited in the cave.

Duan Yao didn't say a word the whole way and didn't really like these people-perhaps because they had been hunted for a long time, they all became a bit over-vigilant and cautious, and they looked at everyone with a murderous glint in their eyes, and even that woman was the same, with a furtive look in her eyes. As an outsider, he naturally had no qualifications to say anything about this, but he didn't bother to communicate any more, and only wanted to bring the man to his brother as soon as possible.

There were very few people in the city, and Duan Yao was light and good, so he quickly took him back to the inn.

Ah Si punched the wall fiercely and looked at Duan Yao with a lot of ferocity in his eyes.

Duan Yao was even more certain that these people were sick - their kung fu was so bad, and when he brought him back with good intentions, he still looked like he had been greatly insulted, so he really was not smart.

Duan Bai Yue heard the commotion and got up to open the door.

Duan Yao was relieved: "Hurry up and bring the person you want into the room."

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

Ah Si looked at him cautiously.

It's this good-for-nothing look again. ...... Duan Yao turned around and headed to his room, it's none of his business, so he'd better get cleaned up and go to bed early.

Duan Bai Yue picked him up by the collar, "You don't want to explain?"

"What else is there to explain, you can tell by looking." Duan Yao said, "This is the Chaoya clan member you are looking for, I found them in the mountains with the Riyue Mountain Villa's secret guards, they didn't believe me, they were only willing to send one person to follow them back to see what happened, the rest of the people are all in the mountains, there are about ten or so men, one woman, and a small baby in their arms."

Duan Bai Yue laughed: "You are quite fast."

"That's true, whoever is like you, only knows how to get close to that Feiluan Lou Master." Duan Yao stretched his back.

But Ah Si has already changed his face and unsheathed his sword: "You and that Jing Liutian are in cahoots?"

Duan Yao: "......"

"I don't think I'm a partner, but we did have a drink together." Duan Bai Yue replied.

"Pah, don't think we don't know that Jing Liutian is the one who ordered to kill us, all of them are not good things." Ah Si kicked over the incense burner in the corridor and slashed at a door - luckily no one stayed inside, otherwise he would have been scared to pee.

Duan Yao looked at the door and sighed, if you want to cut, you should also go to cut the brother, why cut the door, are you bullying the door will not fight back, or eyes are not good.

“They all say that the Chaoya people are independent from the rest of their lives. Now it seems that people still have to come out and walk around more, at least they won't be short-sighted.” Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “Feiluan Lou’s Master to kill you for what? Someone spent a lot of money to buy Chaoya's life from Feiluan Lou. I drank with Master Jing to find out the reason so that you could be fished out of the whirlpool. If you don't thank you, it's just that you didn't even figure out what Feiluan Lou did, but you yelled here, don't you feel blushing?”

Ah Si said fiercely: “Just speak well, don't be full of shit and insult my people!"”

"Besides, if I really wanted to kill you, why would I need to talk so much nonsense?" Duan Bai Yue's tone was slightly cold.

Duan Yao was very relieved, he really was his brother, he didn't seem to like this person.

"What exactly do you want to do with us?" Ah Si was blocked by him and didn't know how to argue, so he only asked viciously.

"Go get him a broom." Duan Bai Yue said, "First sweep up these incense ashes that you inexplicably kicked over before we get down to business."

Duan Yao jumped downstairs and quickly ran back holding a broom and dustpan.

"I'm not sweeping, let Xiao Er do it, otherwise what do you need him for, this inn is not your home!" Ah Si sat down on the ground, "If you want the government to kill me, don't let me into the room if you have the guts!"

"Yao-er." Duan Bai Yue coldly said, "Go to the government, just tell them that we caught the person, we just accidentally poisoned him to death."

"Okay!" Duan Yao turned around and jumped downstairs again.

"Stop." Ah Si was full of disdain.

Duan Bai Yue pinched his chin open and poured a bottle of medicine into it.

Ah Si still looked indifferent.

Duan Bai Yue dragged him into the next room and closed the door behind him.

Ah Si laughed scornfully, "You won't let me sweep the floor anymore?"

Duan Bai Yue said, "I'm afraid you won't have the life to sweep."

Ah Si snorted lightly and reached out to pick up the teapot to pour tea, but he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

His intestines felt as if they had been cut off by a sharp blade, and Ah Si knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

"It won't take long." Duan Bai Yue said, "Half an hour, if you get through it, you'll be able to see the Yan King."

Ah Si opened his mouth and gasped for breath.

"What this king hates most in his life is people like you, who are both ignorant and arrogant, who are uncultured in their speech and behavior, who don't know how to be thankful, and who take it for granted that they are causing trouble for others." Duan Bai Yue said, "If you know what you're doing, go outside and pack up the stuff while you're still able to move, then come back and ask for the antidote. "Ah Si almost crawled out.

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, if possible, he did not want Chu Yuan to see these people at all.

After a full teacup of time, Ah Si came crawling in, his lips blue and purple, "The antidote."

Duan Bai Yue did not make things difficult for him this time.

Ah Si drank all the contents of the small bottle, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, only to breathe back after a long time.

Duan Bai Yue asked, “Can you talk about it?"

Ah Si's eyes were unwilling: “What do you want to know?”

"What exactly happened at Chaoya?" Duan Bai Yue said, "Also, why did you go north to enter the palace."

"Does the Chu Emperor know that we are in trouble?" Ah Si asked.

Duan Bai Yue nodded, "I guessed."

"The entire island is dead." Ah Si said, "Only a few of us are left."

"Why?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Ah Si said, " Gold Mountain."

Duan Bai Yue smiled, "You still want to save face? Look at your demeanor, you don't look like you have the appearance of a gold mountain."

Ah Si: "......"

“Emperor Chu wanted to find you, but it was just because of curiosity, and he remembered that he had seen your clan in the palace before, and when he heard that the local government was hunting down the Chaoya people, he sent someone out to take a look." Duan Bai Yue said, “I would advise you, it is best not to take yourself too seriously, because you are really not important."

Ah Si was pierced again, his complexion even redder.

Duan Bai Yue asked, “Don't you plan to tell the truth yet?”

Ah Si said bitterly: "For...to compete for money.”

“That's right." Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Tell everything one by one, even if this king doesn't like you, you can keep going to Wang Cheng smoothly, so you don't have to suffer from this displacement and being hunted down. It's a good deal.”
