The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhu Ran saw his master's actions and paused.

Master never likes others to touch his things.

If they were in the valley, they could not even enter the master's room at will. The master had to be there, knock on the door, and be allowed to enter.

And after you go in, you are not allowed to look around. You have to stay in the outer room and leave immediately after talking.

As a disciple, he always followed this rule in the past. Wasn’t it because something happened to his master last night?

However, even though he was taking care of his master, he did not dare to help his master change his clothes.

So, now Gu Caien is still wearing the clothes he wore last night, and there is still a strand of charred black hair, which has been burnt.

He just wiped his face and hands.

"Master, where do you feel uncomfortable now?"

Gu Caien is not young anymore, but he takes good care of himself and looks like he is around 40, but in fact he is already 50.

Zhu Ran was his eldest disciple and also his most trusted and favorite disciple.

However, after Zhu Ran saw how he looked last night, Gu Caien's thoughts about him changed quietly.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Caien's tone was not very good. He always felt that Zhu Ran asked this question with the intention of finding out what happened last night.

"Junior Sister Yu said that Master vomited blood."

Gu Caien remembered that he heard Yu Kexian’s cry before he fainted last night.

How much did she see?

"What else did she say?" Gu Caien asked, "Where did she go?"

Did Yu Kexian go to Beijing? Did she go to see the King of Jin?

Zhu Ran thought of what Yu Kexian said last night and wanted to say it, but he saw that his master's expression seemed a little strange, angry?

Why be angry?

Zhu Ran changed his words temporarily, "Junior Sister Yu didn't say anything, she just said she saw Master vomiting blood. She must have been awakened by the thunder and wanted to come out to see."

"This porridge was cooked by Junior Sister Yu. She is still busy in the kitchen." Zhu Ran brought the porridge to him. "Master, are you hungry?"

"Did you all hear the thunder last night?" Gu Caien looked at the bowl of porridge and asked again.

"I heard it. The tenants in the farm were all talking about it this morning. They should have all woken up, but it seemed that no one was frightened. They all woke up for a moment and then went back to sleep."

"Where's Xiao Feng?"

"Xiao Feng is going into the city today to visit his great uncle. He told Master about it yesterday."

"Of course I remember! I mean, he left so early? Did he say he was going to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Speaking of Prince Jin's Mansion, Zhu Ran also felt a little strange.

Why did Master tell them not to go to Prince Jin’s Mansion to look for Junior Brother Shi Yue when they all came to the capital?

He also said that in the valley, Zhou Shiyue was his junior fellow apprentice, but once in the capital, Zhou Shiyue was the high and mighty Prince Jin, a member of the royal family, completely different from those of them who mixed in the martial arts world.

It’s best not to disturb Zhou Shiyue.

"Xiao Feng has no plans to go to Prince Jin's Mansion."

"That's good."

Gu Caien asked him a few questions and then let him go.

"You can go out. I am fine. I just couldn't sleep last night so I got up to practice swordplay. It might be thundering and the sword attracted the lightning and got hit. It's nothing serious. Just take a rest."

"Then Master, eat the porridge and sleep for a while."

Zhu Ran went out and closed the door.

Under the eaves in front, Yu Kexian stood there looking at this side. When she saw him come out, she hesitated for a moment and waved to him.

Zhu Ran walked over.

"Brothers, is Second Uncle awake?"

"woke up."

"Is he alright?"

"Master said he was fine. He was practicing swordplay last night when there was thunder and the sword attracted the lightning and was struck."

Yu Kexian stretched out her hand, holding a handkerchief with a small pile of things wrapped in it.

It looked like some copper powder, a little ashes, and a corner of yellow paper left burnt.

"what is this?"

"I found it at the place where Second Master fell last night." Yu Kexian bit her lower lip, "Brother Zhu, I think Second Master is a little weird. He didn't look like he was practicing sword last night. Besides, do you have to kill a chicken to practice sword?"

"Today, people in the farm said that Second Master spent money to buy that chicken from them. They said that the meat of a big rooster that had been raised for a long time might not be very tasty, and there were better ones, but Second Master didn't want it and insisted on choosing that big rooster."

Isn’t this strange?

Moreover, after buying the rooster, Second Uncle did not say that it was going to be killed and eaten. He just tied it up and threw it in the yard.

It's the middle of the night, are you getting up to practice killing chickens with the sword?

"Senior Sister Lan once said that she saw Second Senior Uncle go out of the valley and buy a lot of cinnabar and yellow paper?"

Senior Sister Lan is Zhu Ran’s junior sister and Gu Caien’s only female disciple.

After arriving in the capital, he was sent by his master to look for someone, and he has not returned yet.

"Junior Sister Yu," Zhu Ran interrupted her, "Don't tell Master about these things. Since nothing happened, let's just let it go. I just told Master that you were awakened by the thunder and went out to check, and that's when you saw him vomiting blood."

Zhu Ran thought it would be better to talk to Yu Kexian so that she wouldn't let the secret slip in front of her master and reveal what happened before the thunder.

After saying this, he turned and walked away, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

Looking at Zhu Ran's back, Yu Kexian felt a little cold in her heart.

Why did Senior Brother Zhu say that to Second Senior Uncle? Unless he also saw something wrong with Second Senior Uncle!

Second Uncle would definitely mind others seeing his actions last night, so all the senior brothers concealed it for her.

So, there must be something strange about what Second Uncle did last night!

Senior Sister Lan hasn't come back yet, who should she talk to about this?

Yu Kexian thought about it and suddenly clapped her hands, Oh, King Jin!

Although King Jin was not familiar with them, did not spend much time in the valley, and did not treat them as brothers or sisters, he was indeed a senior brother!

This is the capital again! Let’s go talk to him!

Yu Kexian didn't notice that Gu Caien saw them talking through the crack in the door, and also saw Yu Kexian running quickly out of the manor.

His eyes darkened.

He was not wrong in his suspicion, Yu Kexian must have seen the whole process last night!

He took out something from his arms.

It was a puppet.

It is made of black cloth, with a bun, an adult male, wearing a purple robe, and has no facial features. However, the style of this purple robe is completely imitating the clothing of Prince Jin.

Anyone who has seen Prince Jin will definitely associate this puppet with Prince Jin when they see it.

There are black needles on the knees of this puppet, and the birth date of King Jin is hidden on its back.

If Yu Kexian saw it, what would she be doing leaving the village now?

Yu Kexian can’t stay!

Gu Caien stuffed the doll back into his arms, got a dagger, and chased in the direction Yu Kexian left.

Yu Kexian was feeling nervous the whole time, so after leaving the manor, she immediately used her lightness skills to try to get into the city as quickly as possible.
