I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

The northeast of Yu State borders on Sang, Shui Jing took Xie Wuyi across the border, found a remote small courtyard in the border town of Sangdi, gave the old woman who lived alone some money, and placed Xie Wuyi in the courtyard to be idle. In his room, he went out to buy another set of clothes and came back. He changed Xie Wuyi's dirty and tattered old clothes, wiped off the blood stains on his body carefully, and then put on new clothes.

After tidying up, Shui Jing breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the small side of the room, and looked at Xie Wuyi who was still sleeping on the couch.

It wasn't until now that he had the time to recall the words Xie Wuyi had said before, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

According to what Xie Wuyi said, he knew about the fake illness of the king early on, and he knew the reason why Shui Jing kept it from him.And the new law didn't flow into Daluan because of Shui Jing's negligence, but it had been exposed to other countries as early as when Xie Wuyi advocated the reform.

Xie Wuyi said that the so-called "deceit" was just an excuse to drive Shui Jing away. If this is the case, what was the real reason for driving him away in the first place?

Shui Jing couldn't figure it out, but what worried him even more at the moment was how to get Xie Wuyi out of the bottomless despair.

After meditating for a long time, Shui Jing stood up and walked to the side of the couch to understand a few acupuncture points on Wuyi's body, then grabbed the bed skull sword, went out of the house and stuffed some money into the old woman, and said: "Please take care of him for a few days If he wakes up, please feed him some food, his mind is not clear enough, if he refuses to eat, you have to give him a few gulps."

The old woman nodded in understanding, and Shui Jing didn't say any more, and took the white hair and entered the territory of Yu State again.

It was late at night when I arrived in Yudu, but many mansions were still brightly lit. The whole capital was shrouded in a panic atmosphere, and Yu Palace was the same. The number of guards patrolling the night was several times higher than before.

Shui Jing didn't care to look any further, and avoided numerous patrols to go around to Yanque's residence.

After the fall of the Yu Palace, Daluan's army will be the first to run after the "important people", and the rest of the idlers will flee if they are expected to die. The best end is to escape from the palace while taking advantage of the chaos.

Shui Jing didn't expect to find Yanque here, but he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't take a look for himself.

In the small courtyard, the lights were dim, and the doors and windows of each house were tightly closed. The water mirror swept around and found that the doors of each house were locked, so I had to go to the side and push the window, but unexpectedly the window was actually a window bolt inserted from the inside. , motionless.

Shui Jing didn't want to make any big noises, but he really didn't have the patience to take his time. With a sudden force from his palm, he pushed the window latch inside with a "bang" and pushed the window into the room.

There is no one in the room, only tables, chairs, beds, bookshelves and other things that are not easy to move are left, and almost all other things that can be taken away have disappeared.

Shui Jing exited the room, and entered several other rooms one by one, and the room was also the same, except for the large piece of furniture, there was nothing else.

He thought it was the work of Da Luan's army, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel like it.

Even if the army wants to plunder, it should only take away valuables, not even the sundries.

Thinking of this, Shui Jing went to the courtyard and took a closer look.

From the courtyard wall to the doors and windows of several houses, the doors and windows are intact, there is no mess everywhere, and there is no trace of forced entry and rummaging, and every window is bolted from the inside, and every door is still intact. All locked.

Shui Jing became more and more certain that this must not be the work of Daluan's army.

If they were so hungry that they had to loot all the sundries, it would be even more impossible for them to carefully tidy up the inside and outside of the house and lock the doors and windows after the looting.

But if it wasn't for Daluan's actions, this scene would be even more strange.

When fleeing for their lives in a hurry, how could Aunt Zhou and Yanque have the time to pack up all the items in the house and take them away?How could he even bother to lock the doors and windows?

Shui Jing was puzzled, but right now he didn't have much time to think about it, so he turned around and left the small courtyard, heading straight for the prison.

General Pei Yuan of Daluan failed to obtain the art of sea salt purification from the reconciliation Wuyi after his death. The rest of the generals would naturally not let it go. Starting with those saltworkers, they will inevitably be imprisoned and tortured to extract confessions.

Shui Jing came here to find those saltsmiths.

Outside the gate of the prison, braziers on both sides were lined up one after another, and two soldiers stood beside the gate, one on the left and one on the right, holding long guns.

The water mirror circled around the wall and landed silently behind the two of them. He raised his hand twice and put them down in the shadow of the brazier, and then dodged into the door.

There were not many jailers in the prison, they all gathered around the small table laughing and cursing, Shui Jing almost knocked them unconscious to the ground before they yelled, stepped over the scrambled bodies on the ground, and went straight to the depths of the cell place.

The jailer's voice stopped abruptly, and the prison suddenly became dead silent. All the prisoners held here looked at the corridor in unison, and within a moment, they saw the water mirror coming out of the shadow of the flickering fire.

As Shui Jing expected, the saltsmiths were imprisoned here.As soon as they saw the water mirror, they were all startled.

That day under the Wangming Pagoda, the people were far away from the wooden platform, and were frightened by the sudden thunder and sandstorm. Almost no one had extra thoughts to look up the platform, but the saltsmiths and soldiers who were closest to the wooden platform were on the platform. You can clearly see everything that happened on the Internet.

The person in front of him not only killed Pei Yuan and took away the crown prince, but also seemed to have the power to manipulate the wind, cloud, and lightning, which made people afraid.

There are a total of 24 saltworkers in the salt station. Shui Jing glanced around and found that they all had some new wounds on their bodies, which were obviously caused by torture and interrogation. Fortunately, the number has not decreased, and even...

one extra?

Shui Jing was startled, and counted again from the beginning, when he reached the middle, his eyes suddenly fixed on a person's face.

The gazes of Shi Jiu and Shui Jing met in the air, and both of them could clearly see the flash of surprise on the other side.

"Why are you here?" Shui Jing spoke first.

It was not that he had never thought about Shijiu's whereabouts before, but he was not worried about his safety. After all, for a person like Shijiu with a long-lasting memory, even life and death are trivial matters, and it is best to avoid disasters. But it's not a big deal.

Everyone turned their heads and followed Shui Jing's gaze to Shi Jiu.

"Is it strange?" Shi Jiu spread his hands lazily, "I am also a national teacher after all, so I am not worthy of sitting in this prison?"

If this were the case in the past, Shui Jing would have spared no effort to make fun of him, but today Shui Jing was really not in the mood, pulled out the bone sword and cut off the chains of the prison door with a slap, and said to him: "Come out."

Shi Jiu got up and walked unhurriedly, pushed open the prison door, and the eyes of the saltsmiths followed his back closely, with complicated emotions in their eyes.

Shui Jing glanced at Shijiu, then turned to the saltsmith and said, "There are many guards in the palace right now, and there are so many of you, I can't take them away together, but if you trust me, then do as I say, but for now Save your life."

There was silence in the cell, but fortunately Shui Jing didn't need them to respond, he came here today just to say these few words, if he didn't see Shi Jiu by accident, he wouldn't even move the chain of the cell door.

"If someone comes to interrogate again, you will say that there are 24 procedures in the art of sea salt purification, each of which is in the hands of 24 of you, and none of them is indispensable. Then you pretend to submit to Daluan, but ask the emperor who entered the capital to reveal the secret art in person. , when you arrive in Luangdu, I will find a way to rescue you.”

General Daluan was eager to make meritorious service, so he must have tried to find out the secret technique from the saltsmith before his class teacher and used it to claim credit. When he was so eager for quick success, it was hard to guarantee that he would jump over the wall and use one or several of them to make an example of others.At this time, it is claimed that there are 24 processes in the secret technique that are indispensable, which can make Daluan use the mouse to avoid killing any of them at will.

The false surrender is to delay time. The journey from Yudu to Luandu is long. In order to bring these salt artisans back to Miansheng, they will not be treated badly during the few months on the way back to Beijing. Just so that they don't get into any trouble.

In fact, whether it is Zhong Ling, who masters the secret art of extreme soldiers, or Yu Guo, who masters the art of pure sea salt, "secret art leakage" has always been a serious concern for the kings of all dynasties. Except for the royal family, everyone who knows the secret art The end will not be too good, either be silenced or banned.

For General Daluan, ignorance of secret arts is the way to protect himself wisely.The saltsmiths asked the face sage to reveal the secret technique in person. They might hesitate at first, but after thinking about it for a while, they will understand that this will not only avoid the hidden danger of becoming "informed persons" for them, but also be able to do so. Inviting credit and asking for rewards can be said to be beneficial and harmless.

The saltsmiths in the prison listened quietly, their expressions didn't change much after listening, whether it was because they didn't believe it or they had other concerns.One of them leaned forward and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

Shui Jing guessed that he just wanted to ask how Luan would rescue Yunyun when he got there, looked at him and said, "Say something straight."

The saltsmith pursed his chapped lips, and tentatively asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness...is he alright?"

As soon as these words came out, all the saltsmiths looked at Shui Jing burningly, with expectations in their eyes.

Shui Jing really didn't expect that what these people cared about at the moment was not their own situation, but their unshakable safety, so he couldn't help but soften in his heart, and said: "He is very good, you just need to go to Luandu with peace of mind, and he will rescue him when the time comes." you."

Only then did the saltsmiths smile a little as if they were relieved, and they all nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's wait for him."

At this moment, Baimao, who was left outside the prison by Shui Jing, let out a sharp cry, Shui Jing knew that it probably found something strange, turned around and said to Shi Jiu, "Let's go."

The two strode across the corridor, and the jailers on the ground were still obediently lying down with their eyes closed. When they got outside the prison, Shui Jing didn't find the guard approaching here as expected.

Isn't Baimao's cry a warning?
