DWGL _ Chapter - 41

Chapter 41: Back to the palace, why is the plum tree gone again?

As Duan Bai Yue had expected before, Chaoya Island is indeed not a golden island. If the ancestors have accumulated some wealth, after more than 100 years, they have already been squandered by future generations. The island is no better than the island. As long as there is land, it can produce food. The Chaoya people regard themselves too highly and refuse to fish and shrimp like the rest of the islands to make a living from the sea. Therefore, in order to make a living, they have to go out of the island secretly. Men rely on some health methods passed down by their ancestors to see a doctor for others, while women rely on their gentle voices to make money as singers to barely solve their livelihoods.

“Come out and make enough money, then go back again?" Duan Bai Yue asked, “Then why don't you just stay in Chu?" The land is vast and prosperous, and the people in most places are also very friendly to foreigners. It stands to reason that even if you are just a tourist from all directions, your life can be more enjoyable than on the island. Why bother to guard a deserted island.

Ah Si said: “The Chaoya people will not leave their homeland easily.”

“Then why did you leave again this time?" Duan Bai Yue said.

Ah Si's eyes were resentful: “The island is divided into two factions. In order to expel the rest of the people from the island, one of them colluded with the bandits from Nanyang and took them to the island to kill. Who knows that the bandits had a bad heart, and they didn't care which faction the people on the island were from. When they saw the living, they slashed and killed them. In the end, only a few of us were left. We hid in a dilapidated boat, only to save our lives, and then escaped while it was dark.”

“What is the identity of the bandits from Nanyang?" Duan Bai Yue said.

Ah Si shook his head: “I don't know.”

“Then the entire Chaoya Island should have been occupied by Nanyang bandits now?" Duan Bai Yue thought thoughtfully.

Ah Si said: "It should be, but we fled in a panic and didn't care.”

“Why does Yu Shu want to offer a reward to hunt you down again?" Duan Bai Yue continued to ask.

“It should also be colluding with the Nanyang robbers." Ah Si said, “That group of robbers wanted to destroy the whole island of Chaoya without leaving a living mouth. I don't know where they learned the news, but they were able to find out our whereabouts."

“For the sake of your cooperation, ask the last question of the day, and then you can have a full meal and rest." Duan Bai Yue said, “What is the relationship between Fen Xing and Chaoya, and why do they suddenly glow when they meet some people?"

“Fen Xing is in your hands?" Ah Si was shocked.

Duan Bai Yue shook his head: “I just heard the rumors.”

Ah Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fen Xing is a sacred relic of Chaoya, but we have never seen it before, and we don't know much about the luminous light.”

Duan Bai Yue smiled and stood up from the table: “Very well, you can stay. As for the rest of your companions, do you want to pick them up together?"

Ah Si said: "Of Course.”

Duan Bai Yue called Duan Nian and ordered him to go to the mountains with Ah Si to pick up the rest secretly. After the two of them left, Duan Yao showed an eye through the door and asked, "How's it going?"

“Maybe the truth is told, but most of it is a lie, or only half of the truth is said." Duan Bai Yue said.

Duan Yao tsked: “I just said, these people can't believe it.”

“But at least it's the Chaoya people. They are the ones in this world who have the most to do with Fen Xing." Duan Bai Yue said, “It's always a good thing to find it, so let's take it back to Wang Cheng first."

“General Shen wants it?" Duan Yao asked meaningfully.

Duan Bai Yue shook his head: “It's Emperor Chu who wants it.”

The same, the emperor Chu handed the matter over to General Shen, and General Shen handed it over to you. Duan Yao smiled brightly, brother, come on, Xinan Mansion can hold happy events at any time, Aunt Jin has even pulled the red satin, the material is valuable!

“What's your expression?”  Duan Bai Yue knocked on his head, “Go to sleep."

"No reward?" Duan Yao was dissatisfied, at least he had made a merit.

Duan Bai Yue laughed: "What do you want?"

Duan Yao immediately glowed, "The Bodhi Sutra!"

Duan Bai Yue shook his head.

"At least let me see it." Duan Yao hugged his brother's thigh.

Duan Bai Yue said, "Harmful kung fu, it's for your own good not to let you know."

"Liar, if it could really harm people, why would Master let you practice it?" Duan Yao didn't believe him.

"I practiced it to heal my wounds." Duan Bai Yue squatted on the ground and reached out to pat his cheek, "Maybe one day, I can think of a way to restrain the Bodhi Sutra, and then I will teach it to you."

Duan Yao bristled, again.

"Besides, believe it or not, I really haven't practiced for long." Duan Bai Yue pulls him to his feet, "But you really did a great job today, you do deserve to be rewarded."

Duan Yao asked, "So?" Silver tickets are also OK.

Duan Bai Yue said, "I can't give you the Bodhi Sutra, but I can give you the Cloud Splitting Sword."

"Cloud Splitting Sword?" Duan Yao froze, "That's your sword."

"You are more suitable for it than I am." Duan Bai Yue unclasped his sword from his waist and handed it over, "Counting on being fifteen years old and almost sixteen, it's more than enough to hold it."

"I don't want it." Duan Yao shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want any more rewards, that's what father left for you, take it back."

"Father gave it to me because you were still young." Duan Bai Yue said, "The Cloud Splitting Sword Technique is light and ethereal, so it's perfect for you."

"What about you?" Duan Yao asked.

Duan Bai Yue took out a blunt sword from his room.

Duan Yao: "......"

"How is it?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Duan Yao asks, "Is this the piece of broken iron that Master instructed you to bury in the ground for a few years before taking it out?"

Duan Bai Yue nodded.

"Believe me, this is really a piece of broken iron." Duan Yao was bitter, "Even if you polish it with sandpaper, it's still just a piece of broken iron that's brighter at best."

Duan Bai Yue laughed and handed the Cloud Splitting Sword to him, "Take good care of it."

Duan Yao had mixed feelings.

"Alright, go to sleep." Duan Bai Yue patted his head and turned around to go back to the bedroom.

Duan Yao hugged the Cloud Splitting Sword for a while before climbing into bed on his own.

When he was young, he did want this knife, but his brother had been carrying it around for so many years, and yet he said that he would give it to himself ...... Thinking about it, he couldn't sleep, so he climbed out of bed again and pulled out the blade to look at it under the candlelight for most of the night.

In the middle of the night, Duan Nian also brought back the rest of the people. The guards of Riyue Mountain Villa escorted them all the way until they confirmed that they had arrived safely, and only then did they leave with their goodbyes. Fortunately, Duan Bai Yue has chartered the entire inn, so there is more than enough room for seven or eight more people.

After all this, it was already light outside. That group of ChaoYa people previously hide and seek, almost not sleep in one whole night, this time it is not easy to be Chu Emperor's people back to the inn, but also do not care about other, head a dip pillow on the whirring sleep, until the next day at noon has not yet woken up.

Duan Bai Yue did not rush and went to Feiluan Luo alone.

"I heard that Wang Ye has found that group of Chaoya people?" Jing Liutian asked at the outset.

"Master Jing is truly well-informed." Duan Bai Yue smiled, "But now that the people are in this king's hands, it won't be a simple matter for anyone to want them taken down again."

Jing Liutian said, "The rules of Jianghu, even if the buyer dies, the things entrusted to him during his lifetime must still be done."

Duan Bai Yue nodded: "This king naturally knows that and has come to inform Master Jing that people are in my hands, that's all. As for whether or not to release this information, and how to release it, it all depends on what Master Jing likes."

Jing Liutian laughed: "Wang Ye is an open-minded person."

"I have important matters to attend to, and as I said earlier that I wanted to investigate Yu Shu's matter, I'm afraid that I can't do it myself." Duan Bai Yue said, "But since I promised Master Jing, this king will naturally leave manpower behind to assist Feiluan Lou in his endeavors."

Jing Liutian nodded: "Thank you, Wang Ye, forgive me for not seeing you off."

Duan Bai Yue turned around and left until he watched his back disappear around the corner, only then did Jing Liutian beckon for his inner circle.

So that afternoon, the Jianghu people were informed of another news - that the Chaoya sorcerer had been robbed by someone and went north to Wang Cheng. As for how far ahead of the others, no details were given.

For a while, the official highway was in chaos, and everyone ran to the north. Even if Yu Shu is dead, but the gold is a step ahead of the payment of Feiluan Lou, trading is still done.

Three days later, Duan Bai Yue led the men and horses, all the way from the small road back to Wang Cheng. Although the road is to pass a few more days, but it is calm and quiet, not encountering a single trouble. The only thing that happened was that the little doll would cry from time to time, and the woman didn't have any milk to feed. Luckily, Duan Yao was good-looking and sweet-talking, and he looked for rice paste and milk in the villages along the way, so she managed to feed the baby.

It was already late at night when they arrived at Wangcheng, Duan Bai Yue first settled all of them in the inn, and the woman was dissatisfied, "Why don't you let us go into the palace?"

"In the middle of the night, do you have any news in your hands that can make Emperor Chu get up from his bed for a while?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

The woman first wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Duan Bai Yue smiled, went next door to take a bath, and changed his clothes before going out.

Duan Yao leaned against the door, Tsk Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Duan Bai Yue slapped him on the head, went down the stairs, and went straight to the palace.

Chu Yuan was reading a book in his bedroom, and he didn't feel sleepy. Sixi had already gone back to rest, and only the occasional footsteps of the guards patrolling came, which made the surrounding silence even more silent.

Duan Bai Yue was familiar with the road and fell into the courtyard-he would be familiar with this kind of thing if he did it a few more times.

Chu Yuan was taken aback.

Duan Bai Yue stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Chu Yuan turned his head and looked at him.

Duan Bai Yue smiled: “I'm back.”

“...so fast.” It was a bit of a surprise, it took Chu Yuan a long time to speak.

“You think it's fast, but I think it's slow." Duan Bai Yue stepped forward and sat by the bed, “That group of Chaoya people has been found, right at the Yue Lai Inn, and I will bring them to you tomorrow night."

“Why do you want to bring it tomorrow night, tonight?" Chu Yuan stepped on his shoes and wanted to get out of bed, but Duan Bai Yue held his naked ankle.

……

Chu Yuan slammed his palm over.

Duan Bai Yue didn't hide and stuffed his feet back into the quilt, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you don't have anything to say to me?"

Chu Yuan hugged the quilt and sat in the corner of the wall: "No."

There was some cold wind in the room, Duan Bai Yue stood up and wanted to close the window, but froze when he walked past: "Where is the plum tree?"

Chu Yuan said, "Dug it up."

Duan Bai Yue was dumbfounded: "This time it's not worth it, I didn't do anything, how can you dig it up again."

Chu Yuan tilted his head to look at the top of the bed.

Dig if I want, what do you care about me?

Do you care about me!
