Sword Immortal's set collapse record

"My lord, those monsters have entered the mountain."

When Duanmeng came back to report, he found that Zhou Yan was still standing calmly in the prison, while Zhao Changjue had changed his previous numb and silent appearance, shaking the wooden bars of the prison and begging them: "Save my son! Your lord!" , please save my son!"

To explain why things came to this point, Zhao Changjue was probably more tempted by those people in Tsing Yi than coerced.

Zhao Changjue is a noble son from a poor family. His wife broke down in the early years to support him in his studies, and he barely managed to live on.The couple were deeply in love, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear the heart of her husband dying, so she desperately gave birth to her only child, who passed away not long after.

The former relationship with his deceased wife, the only heir, and Zhao Changjue raised his son carefully since he was a child, and the son Zhao Tinggui who raised him is a quiet, sensible, and lovable personality——

The doctor asserted that his son who was doomed to die young was his lifeline.

Zhou Yan was too lazy to listen to his affectionate confession, and stopped talking nonsense with him. People in the world are not his father, who will spoil him.After hanging out like this, Zhao Changjue finally said something useful, at least clearly explaining the location of the group of Tsing Yi men's lair in Qishan'an.

Zhou Yan: "It's impossible for them to enter and exit the Governor's Mansion so openly on weekdays, right?"

Zhao Changjue: "...There is a secret path. But, but if they know me—"

After saying that, Zhao Changjue shut up first.His son is the bargaining chip used by the opponent to restrain him.Now Zhao Changjue has lost his use value.From the day he fell from the position of governor, his son has been in danger.

"You told me where the secret path is, maybe we can hurry there to save your son." Zhou Yan said flatly, "Of course, if they saw us in that secret path, would they They will scare the snake and force them to bite your son first, no one can say for sure, it depends on luck."

"Weigh it yourself." Zhou Yan finally concluded.

Zhao Changjue's thin body trembled fiercely, and a grayness slowly filled his eyes.

......

the other end.

After a night of rest, Jiang Yubai and his party set off on the road.The members of the team are: Jiang Yubai, Zhu An, Wu Xiaoliu, a few nimble yamen servants, and a few ordinary people who are familiar with the mountain road.They heard that the government was finally going to investigate the disappearance case, and they volunteered to help. Of course, the government also gave them money for their hard work.

Zhu An led his men to arrange their hands on the map, raised his coir hat and walked over with some worry: "Hero Jiang, do you really want to take this kid into the mountains?"

Yes, Jiang Yu's plan to go solo for thousands of miles has gone bankrupt.Because Wu Xiaoliu solemnly declared that there were many, many bugs in the underground fortress made of stones.Wu Xiaoliu came to find his way first, and then he said repeatedly with a bitter face that he was used to being bitten by those bugs, and he knew what to do with them, and he should run away if he couldn't deal with them——

Jiang Yubai agreed with his statement that practice makes perfect, and agreed after a wave of real-name distress.

...How should I put it, he must have sneaked into the set to play.Leaving aside the number of opponents, just because the opponent may have a weapon of mass destruction such as the Hushan Cannon, it is simply unrealistic to fight one-on-one.

Wu Xiaoliu is dexterous and clever, and Jiang Yubai's taking him with him should do more good than harm.

Wu Xiaoliu wanted to be with Jiang Yubai wholeheartedly, but seeing that Zhu An had something bad happen again, and Jiang Yubai upheld the humanitarian spirit of worrying about minors, and after showing a little hesitation as usual——

He gave Zhu An's knee a hard kick, and listened indifferently to the latter gasping for air, before yelling at him.

Zhu An also felt that after cursing a few words, on the contrary, she was the most mother-in-law without any dangerous tasks.So he sighed, untied the knot of the straw hat, took it off his head with his backhand, and handed it to Jiang Yubai:

"There is no need to return it. I wish you a successful start and a safe return."

Heroes do not hesitate to put themselves in danger for the sake of the country and the people. This kind of example Zhu An has heard a lot in picture books.But after entering the rivers and lakes, Zhu An realized that although there are heroes in the rivers and lakes, there are really too few heroes who are worthy of their virtues under the prestige.

Zhu An thought bitterly, looking at it from another angle, he, a second-rate character, third-rate martial arts, and fifth-rate Jianghu Xiaoxiami, began to worry about the country and the people, and ran around. In the future, he can be regarded as a bragging Experienced.

Seeing him smacking his lips and looking complicated, Jiang Yubai couldn't help laughing, and said, "Thank you. Then I'll give you a gift in return."

He raised his hand, and with a "jingle bell", he threw a golden thing out.Zhu An saw at a glance that it was the bell that Jiang Yubai had used to punish him before. Seeing it falling in the air and ringing against the wind, his scalp felt numb for a moment, and he hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

——I got the bell in my hand, but found that nothing happened.

Zhu An picked up the bell and shook it cautiously. "Ding bell" rang twice, but nothing happened.He was taken aback for a moment, and smiled wryly.

Zhu An: "You are really..."

Jiang Yubai: "That Gu blood has the effect of subduing low-level Gu worms. Before it is fully integrated into the body, hearing the bell ringing will indeed make your head hurt unbearably—but it should be invalid by now."

Jiang Yubai smiled, and pressed the straw hat on his head. His black hair was tied high like satin, and his spring-like eyes were covered under the hat, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.Jiang Yubai carried Wu Xiaoliu onto the horse, turned over and sat on the saddle neatly, pulled the reins and said:

"Thank you, brother, for not making me spend more effort."

The white clothes are rustling, riding the dust.

Zhu An shook his head, held the bell in his palm for a long time, but couldn't find a place to put it, so he had to stuff it into his sleeve, unfolded the map in his hand, and went to discuss the road patrol with the rest of the staff.

......

When Zhou Yan and Duan Meng saw the so-called secret path, they were quite eye-opening—it was actually a waterway.

The rainy season is continuous, and the groundwater also rises with the tide, but the river has never been submerged, leaving a width and height that boats can pass through.Presumably there are people in Tsing Yi who are good at calculating water conservancy. If they can be used by the court, they can be regarded as talents.

...Zhou Yan silently spurned himself. Perhaps it was because the imperial court had too many official duties and a serious shortage of manpower, which made him desperate for food, but not everyone could dig into the Golden Temple.

Aside from other things, it is not easy for someone from a reckless background to have a place in the court.Discrimination between officials is quite serious, even if they are both obtained from the imperial examination, let alone those who can only go through the rules and be promoted.

Even Zhou Yan himself, because he never concealed the deeds of living in the rivers and lakes in the early years, when he first set the world with the little emperor, he was scolded for being vulgar and uneducated in every move he made.It is precisely because of this that many policies that would be scolded by officials were eventually approved by Zhou Yan on his own initiative.

Can't understand him?Then, among the people who scolded him, is there anyone who has a higher status than him, or handles affairs better than him, or has a higher force than him, or even has a face that can match his shoulders?

No.nonexistent.Prince Huai is so hated.He is a man-eating flower among the colorful flowers in the capital.

While sitting on the boat, this piranha was thinking in her mind. After a while, she would gather people to take a look at the situation from a distance, and after solving the poisoning problem, she would transfer soldiers from the nearest Qiongzhou garrison lieutenant, and bring these guys together. crushed to death-

"I don't know if Rascal Chun will be able to come here in time." Zhou Yan held up the lamp and frowned slightly in the darkness.

There was silence.

After a while, Duan Meng asked, "My lord, should we wait?"

"I can't wait anymore." Zhou Yan said with a deep breath, "Zhao Changjue mentioned that they deliberately searched for something near the cliffs on both sides of the Longshui River embankment. According to the county records, that cliff was originally built many years after the embankment was built. It was gradually submerged in the water..."

Today is rainy and rainy, the water level is rising, and the river embankment is already in danger.If something happens to the Longshui Levee, more than a dozen counties downstream will suffer another disaster.

Duan Meng understood what he meant, stopped talking, and shook the paddle firmly and regularly.

The two drifted for an unknown amount of time. The boat passed through a narrow passage dug out from among the rocks. There was a sound of water gurgling, and several small whirlpools brushed past the hull, causing the hull to shake slightly.

Zhou Yan stood up and raised the lamp a little higher: he found that it was a wide underground river, which was built in unknown year. The dark stone wall was covered with algae, and water droplets dripped down gently along the cracks. , and hit Zhou Yan on the top of the head.

Zhou Yan moved his ears and shifted his gaze to the front.He held the lamp in front of him and blew it out, only to see a small light suddenly lit up in the endless waterway——

Duanmeng continued to shake the oar, and asked in a low voice: "My lord?"

Zhou Yan whispered: "Quietly, let's follow."

Duan Meng nodded.

The speed of the boat in front seemed to be even slower than theirs.From a distance, there were two people sitting there, but the little arm and leg that was paddling the oar looked like a child.

Duan Meng was suspicious, and when they approached quietly, the conversation ahead came along the deep river:

"Or I'll do it."

"Farewell, brother Jiang, let you paddle, we will not be able to get in for another day and night. Just let me come, I have been doing this since I was a child."

"Okay. Let's take a rest if we are hungry. There is water and dry food in the package."

"it is good."

"..." After listening to the conversation with one ear, Duan Meng's expression suddenly became subtle.Turning to look at Zhou Yan, he really looked like he was stroking his forehead and couldn't explain it.

...He knew that his master would definitely come to wade into the muddy water.

But what about bringing a child?Still carry dry food and water?Did his master lead people on an outing?
