ten mile river moon

Chapter 23 The Dust Settles

As a quick-spoken young expert, how could Liu Chengyue let such a thing without a topic happen between herself and the male god? !So Liu Chengyue started looking for something to talk about, so that the following dialogue appeared:

"Well, do you have someone you like?" Liu Chengyue was a little nervous, afraid that the other party would answer in the affirmative.

Jiang Lie: "..."

Liu Chengyue asked: "If you don't speak, is it acquiescing?"

Jiang Lie: "No..."

"Is it a man or a woman?" Liu Chengyue continued to work hard, and was bound to figure out the relationship history of the male god.

Jiang Lie: "..."

Seeing Jiang Lie's subtle expression, Liu Chengyue regretted secretly, why did she ask what was in her heart?Ahhh!No, what the male god said was no, I was really worried, "Oh, no, I mean...well, is your master a male or a female?"

Jiang Lie: "..."

"Could it be a woman?" Liu Chengyue looked shocked.

"Man!" Jiang Lie was a little bit violent.

"That's pretty good." Liu Chengyue made it clear.

……

Finally, after having nothing to say and chatting for nearly half an hour, Liu Chengyue was a sick patient who had just woken up, and fell asleep in a daze due to lack of energy, and because she was sitting on the bed, she was very hesitant. the trend of.

Jiang Lie looked at Liu Chengyue who was gradually falling asleep, and murmured in a low voice: "So that's what it meant..."

Five days later, Liu Chengyue recovered relatively well because of the officers and soldiers and the special personnel sent by the emperor to deal with Yingcheng's affairs, so the group set off for Ye Shuicheng.

After all, Ye Shuicheng is the root cause of all these things, and there is a person who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. Thinking of this, Liu Chengyue feels a little guilty. If the sensory deprivation experiment works well, then that person should be mentally healthy now Nothing wrong?

Along the way, considering Liu Chengyue's physical condition, the four of them chose a carriage instead.Jiang Lie and Liu Chengyue were sitting in the car, while Wen Ting and Ye Ling were driving outside. In fact, Ye Ling was the only one driving the car, but Wen Ting thought about Jiang Lie's cold face, and chose to go outside with Ye Ling .

In the carriage, Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie sat on both sides, relatively silent. After a while, Liu Chengyue suddenly asked: "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Go to Yaowang Valley." Jiang Lie still answered very succinctly.

Liu Chengyue was annoyed, that's right, isn't Jiang Lie's purpose here for Wen Ting?Since the antidote can only be prepared in the Valley of the Medicine King, then Jiang Lie and Wen Ting must return to the Valley of the Medicine King. After all, as a man, of course that is the most important thing.

But thinking that Wen Ting and Jiang Lie will leave soon, Yeling will return to the palace, and she will return to the border town to continue to be her own little county magistrate, Liu Chengyue feels that the world is full of malice towards her, and she simply cannot More cruel!

When she didn't know the three of them before, Liu Chengyue felt that there was nothing wrong with being alone. She quietly became her little county magistrate, and occasionally went to the village to play with the children in the village for ten days. After half a month of listening to the stories of the parents of every family, this kind of life is very peaceful, without any waves, but after getting along with each other for this period of time, Liu Chengyue suddenly feels that her life alone is not as good as she imagined.

When a person comes from another world, there are many things in his heart that he can't tell others, and he has to be careful not to be discovered by others. Slowly, Liu Chengyue doesn't feel very happy about being reborn.Some things you know have happened, but no one else will believe them except yourself. In this case, people always become more sensitive and even doubt themselves.

Although there is nothing wrong with a quiet life, but being too peaceful will give people more time to recall the past life. Liu Chengyue always dreamed at night before, dreaming about her life in modern times, but when she woke up from the dream Finally, he had to pretend to be himself, he was Liu Chengyue, but at the same time he was not Liu Chengyue.

The depressive life makes Liu Chengyue sometimes wonder if he had a very long dream. In that dream, he arrived in the 21st century and had a short life experience, but whenever he had such thoughts, Liu Chengyue Yue will try to remind himself that it is reality.

If life continues like this, Liu Chengyue will probably feel that he has gone crazy. Fortunately, this case allowed him to leave the border town temporarily and be with some people who didn't know him before. He didn't have to worry about them finding out about him. Strangely, here, he is still the same Liu Chengyue, without a doubt, this kind of life of only being himself makes him more fulfilled every day, Liu Chengyue feels that his heart that is almost exhausted seems to be alive again.

But now that the case is about to end, everyone still has to go their separate ways, and I have to go back to the border town, continuing to struggle with being myself, while being careful not to let Mother Liu find out that he is actually just a lonely soul in another world.

Regardless of these things, after these days of getting along, Liu Chengyue has already regarded Ye Ling, Wen Ting, and Jiang Lie as friends, whether everyone solves the case together or travels across mountains and rivers. To be more profound, but now they are leaving soon, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the next time we meet again, I don't know when it will be.

Looking at the opposite Liu Chengyue who was deep in thought and had a slightly sad expression, Jiang Lie felt helpless and other strange emotions. I don't know what Liu Chengyue thought of. Usually Liu Chengyue looks heartless. He really doesn't feel comfortable with this look, could it be because he is about to leave?

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the carriage headed north towards Ye Shui City.

Back in Ye Shui City, Liu Chengyue went to the county government office immediately, the county magistrate was having dinner, when the master said that some people in Liu Chengyue had returned and were walking to the county government office, immediately, the county magistrate was not eating. After eating, he changed into his official uniform and ran to the county government office, for fear that he would be slow.

Seeing the county magistrate, Liu Chengyue directly asked where the person who was locked in the little black house last time was. The county magistrate was a little panicked when he heard the words, "This...Although your lord ordered that no one should come out, after you left, five After Tianhou, the man cried and shouted and said everything, and the official did not dare to release him, so he locked him up for two days. But after that, the man was too quiet, and the official sent someone in because he was afraid that something would happen to him. In the end, the man lost his mind, and the subordinate officials decided to release him on his own initiative, and he is now in prison."

Liu Chengyue glanced at the county magistrate when he heard the words, and when the county magistrate saw Liu Chengyue looking at him, he broke out in a cold sweat, and finally heard Liu Chengyue say: "Good job!" The man walked to the cell.

When she arrived at the cell, Liu Chengyue looked at the environment of the cell and felt a little disgusted. There were not many people locked up in the cell, but after entering, she could smell a sour smell. Passing through the railing, you can see that there is almost nothing inside. Some of the ground is covered with hay, and some are just a piece of green brick ground. The conditions are not simple.

Following the head of the cell, everyone came to a railing. Through the railing, they could see a man chained inside. His limbs were chained to fix his range of motion, and he was still biting a piece of cloth in his mouth.Seeing this situation, Liu Chengyue was a little impressed by the magistrate of Ye Shuicheng, who was neither fancy nor useful, at least it wasn't very useless to think of it.

In fact, Liu Chengyue didn't know that the county magistrate did this after being reminded by the master. After all, he was regarded as an important criminal. If something happened in the hands of the adults, it would really be impossible to keep the black hat, and he himself didn't have such a thing. The beauty is bad.

The head of the cell opened the door, and under Liu Chengyue's signal, soon everyone in the cell except the four of them and the prisoner went out to wait.Liu Chengyue looked at Wen Ting, Wen Ting nodded, and stepped forward to take out the cloth ball from the man's mouth, but the man was still unconscious.

Wen Ting took out a small bottle from his bosom, opened it and placed it under the man's nose, and soon the man woke up slowly, opened his eyes, saw that it was Liu Chengyue and the others, his eyes lit up, as if relieved, "You can ask whatever you want, and I have just one request. After you finish speaking, let me die quickly."

Listening to this person's calm tone, Liu Chengyue felt a little emotional. It seems that the sensory deprivation experiment was successful. Sure enough, the technology of the 21st century is irreplaceable, and the progressive new human is really not ordinary horror.

After agreeing to that person's request, Liu Chengyue began to ask: "I don't ask you anything else, I just want to know who your master is and who you know are related to this matter." Seeing that person, he didn't say anything , Liu Chengyue continued: "Did you know why we didn't show up during this time?"

The man looked up at Liu Chengyue calmly, and didn't intend to speak. Liu Chengyue didn't expect this person to answer at first, so he continued on his own, "We went to the mountain in Yingcheng." After speaking, Liu Chengyue observed the man's behavior Seeing the word Yingcheng, this person was obviously a little surprised, so he was relieved, "So we know far more news than you thought, what should I say, how should I say it, I think you should know it? "

That person was still a little lucky in his heart, after all, the master had saved his life, and he voluntarily followed him, so he would not reveal his identity as the master, but now the other party has even been to Yingcheng, presumably the things over there are also exposed.Thinking about the tricks of this seemingly harmless adult, there must be few people who can bear it.

Thinking of the reckless man who had all his kung fu, he didn't think that man could bear it without telling the matter.Although it is very possible that they don't know anything and are just deceiving him, he dare not bet. After all, he doesn't want to suffer that kind of torture that is worse than skinning and cramping again. , The grace of saving life will be repaid in the next life as a cow or a horse.

Nodding, the man began to talk, "My name is Li Wei, I am a slave of the Liancheng family in Luoyue City, and also the guard of the current owner Liancheng Xun. You must know about the mine, so I won't go into details, but you know, This mine originally belonged to our Liancheng family?"

Seeing everyone in Liucheng Yue showing surprised expressions, Li Wei continued: "When the Patriarch passed through Ye Shui City three years ago, he accidentally fell into the trap of a traitor and rushed into the Lianfeng Mountains in a hurry, but he was still defeated. The Patriarch would rather jump off a cliff than be captured by a traitor. But he never expected that God would favor him. The Patriarch discovered an iron mine by chance. Later, after the Patriarch returned to Luoyue City after going through hardships, he began to dig the mine. matter."

"I didn't know these things at first, but one night two years ago, when I got up at night, I passed the study, and saw that there was no light in it but someone was talking, thinking that a thief had entered, so I broke in and wanted to catch the thief. I never thought that the person who spoke inside was a young and handsome son, and the person sitting opposite him was my Patriarch. He thought I would be executed, but unexpectedly, the Patriarch didn’t care about my mistakes and told me all these things , and arranged for me to go to Ye Shui City."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyue interrupted Li Wei, "Do you know who that young master is?"

"I don't know who the young man is, but I know he is not from the Northern Chu Kingdom. Although the young man has a handsome face, he is still a little different from the Northern Chu people. In the subsequent affairs, it really proved me. The original guess was correct. About a year and a half ago, after we surveyed the route of the mine and the underground river, the owner suddenly asked us to suspend all affairs, and began to withdraw the people we arranged gradually. In the end, only Next some mining workers. I didn’t know why at first, until a few days later, the confidant of the owner brought a few people from the South Vietnam country and asked me to assist them in mining the mine.”

"That confidant is named Ouyang Ming. He is both the confidant of the Patriarch and also a friend of the Patriarch when he was young. But then something happened in the family. At that time, something happened to even the Cheng family. The master who was the Second Young Master at that time became the Patriarch and took in Ouyang Ming. Since then, Ouyang Ming has been doing his best to plan by the Patriarch's side. The Patriarch has saved my life, so I am willing to follow, because the experience is similar, and I can talk to Ouyang Ming. After several times of questioning, Ouyang Ming I just told me that the owner of the mine made a deal with the South Vietnamese people, but I don’t know exactly what deal he made.”

"At this point, the Liancheng family can almost get away. It is a felony to mine a mine without permission. At first I thought that the owner of the family made a deal with others out of this consideration. But I didn't expect that after the iron mine, Our workers discovered another gold mine, and the amount of gold mines was obviously more than that of iron mines, so our Patriarch regretted trading the mine to someone else. After a while, Ouyang Ming told me to let me play around in the mine .”

"Because people from Nanyue Kingdom are not allowed to easily enter Northern Chu, so the mines have always been mined mainly by our people, so when we mine mines, we will take nearly one-third of the ore we mined, and find other people. Refining. At first, things were almost like this, but then I don’t know if something was discovered in South Vietnam. They started to come to the mine every now and then to check the mining situation. In order to prevent accidents, we had to speed up the progress of mining. People from South Vietnam, on the other hand, the longer the matter drags on, the more likely it will be discovered."

"What about the Gu worms in the workers' bodies? Was it made by the Liancheng family or by people from the Nanyue Kingdom?" Wen Ting asked.

Li Wei seemed surprised, but after hearing Wen Ting's name, he understood, and explained: "It was done by the people of Nanyue Kingdom. I said that the people of Nanyue Kingdom discovered something before half a year ago. Let’s talk about giving the workers a kind of pill. At first the workers didn’t change much, but something happened later. The workers became more and more silent day by day, and they were almost non-stop around the clock. They only knew how to mine ore. Once someone took the ore away, They will riot, and they will definitely take the ore back."

Liu Chengyue and the others felt even more chilled when they heard the words. These workers must be working so hard. It must be caused by the Gu, but where in the world is there such a method that can make people work hard?Mostly at the expense of their own life and health!

"Then you didn't think of a way to solve it?" Liu Chengyue said coldly, "With your ability, this Gu worm must be no problem, right?" In this Ye Shui City, he must have the ability to mine mines privately.On the other hand, since the people of Nanyue Kingdom can produce so many Gu worms, presumably this Gu worm will not be a rare Gu worm, and it should not be difficult to solve it.

Li Wei smiled, "As expected of the adults who found out this matter, yes, of course we can solve it, but if we want to solve it, it is to tell the people of Nanyue that we have indeed made a small move. After all, there are some things that everyone knows and put aside On the bright side, the effect is still different, isn't it?"

Liu Chengyue asked, "So how did you do it? What is the Gu among these workers?"

"Actually, the Gu among those workers is a very common mind-wrecking Gu. Those who suffer from the Gu have gradually lost their spiritual consciousness. They will only listen to the orders of the Gu people and follow them to the death. This kind of Gu is very popular among some princes and generals in the South Vietnam Kingdom. After all, everyone wants an obedient dog, right? You don’t have to worry about being betrayed. And our method is also very simple, that is, separate the workers, a small number of people don’t feed Gu, others feed Gu, and those who don’t feed Gu They are mined separately, and the ore obtained is smuggled out to be refined and then transported back to Luoyue City."

Liu Chengyue thought to himself that it is indeed a very simple method. People who do not feed Gu have self-awareness and can completely operate on their own, and it will not be difficult to avoid other workers who have been infected by Gu.It’s just to say that the people in Nanyue Kingdom don’t know about it. That’s not necessarily true. After all, the master who can be sent over may not be easy to deal with. Not saying it doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t know. Sending people over is probably to give a warning to them. Convergence and restraint, the ultimate goal is probably to feed Gu to the workers to increase the speed of mining.

"What about Yingcheng?" Liu Chengyue continued to ask.

Li Wei shook his head, "Yingcheng is just what I heard by chance from those people from the Nanyue Kingdom, and I also met a Nanyue who is said to have come from Yingcheng, that person only came once, and went into the mine for a while. circle, and left without saying anything. But before leaving, the man said that he knew our Patriarch, and told us not to deceive others too much, but you know this kind of thing, but you don’t necessarily have to do it, so I didn’t take it to heart superior."
