Famous in the Jianghu [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

Meat and cakes that have been eaten for several days, anyone would choose meat.

Cui Kaida looked at the meat in his hand and put the cake back.

The grilled fish was sprinkled with a lot of spices, and the smell of the fish kept drilling into his nose during the process.

Finally, after putting away the cake, Cui Kaida raised his hand, just about to take a bite.

"Whoosh-"

A cracking sound rang out.

A stone hit his wrist.

Cui Kaida's hand softened, and the grilled fish fell to the ground.

Standing up suddenly, his hand was already on the handle of the knife on his waist, he looked in the direction of the stone, but what he saw was Ye Cenqiu's face.

Should the landlord?

Cui Kaida froze for a moment.

"Lord?" Gao Jingkang was just about to eat, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"Toxic." Ye Cenqiu walked to Gao Jingkang's side.

Hearing that it was poisonous, Gao Jingkang was taken aback for a moment, then panicked: "The landlord, it's not me!"

From the time the grilled fish was caught to the time it was cooked for Ye Cenqiu and the others to eat, he was the only one who handled the whole process. Not to mention others, even himself doubted himself.

"I didn't say it was you." Looking at Gao Jingkang strangely, Ye Cenqiu took the fish he was about to eat from his hand.

check carefully.

Ye Cenqiu asked, "Where did you catch the fish?"

Gao Jingkang was only flustered for a moment, and when Ye Cenqiu asked him, he immediately replied: "It's just the small river ahead."

He said: "When I catch the fish, the fish are alive."

It is impossible for the dose of poison to kill a person to kill a fish, so the only possibility for this fish is to be poisoned by people after death.

But he was the only one handling the fish the whole time, and no one else had touched it.

And there's no one else here either.

Cui Kaida understood what happened, picked up the fish on the ground and walked over.

"Brother Gao, did you ever leave this fish?"

"No." Gao Jingkang glanced at Cui Kaida and said.

The grilled fish in Yu Luosha's hand had already been thrown away. He walked to the fire and bent down to look at a fish still on top.

Suddenly, he squatted down, picked up a branch on one side, and fiddled with the fire.

Ye Cenqiu noticed his actions and walked up to him: "What did you find?"

"There's something wrong with the smoke from this pile of firewood." Yu Luocha said with a sideways glance at Ye Cenqiu.

The problem of the weather, none of them noticed the difference in the smoke at first.

Yu Luocha established the Raksha Sect in the Western Regions, and it can be said that he understands the tricks of these ghosts and monsters in the rivers and lakes the most.

The movement of his hands did not stop, and after a while, he picked out a log that was emitting thick white smoke from the fire.

The appearance of this piece of wood is no different from ordinary wood on the side of the road, but after picking it out, it seems that this piece of wood does not seem to catch fire. It is like a piece of charcoal, which only smokes, but does not catch fire.

Although the smoke is thick, its color is still white, and it is mixed in a pile of firewood. Even if the color is a little thicker, it is difficult to detect abnormalities at night.

Gao Jingkang also came over.

"Lord, I was careless." Gao Jingkang's expression turned ugly.

He didn't know much about these poisons. If Yu Luocha hadn't picked out this piece of wood at this time, and pointed out that it was the problem with this piece of wood, even if he put this piece of wood in front of him, he wouldn't be able to see it at all. question.

Cui Kaida looked at this log with an indescribable expression on his face.

Before this, he had never seen such a secret method of poisoning, let alone heard of it.

Yu Luocha picked out two more logs one after another.

"I've heard of this method of poisoning before." Yu Luocha said, "The method of making it is similar to that of mist."

Ye Cenqiu opened the map and saw two red dots in the woods not far away.

The distance is not close, the two of them should be looking at this place now, if they chase now, it is not impossible to catch up, but it will definitely take some effort.

"Get the dry food in the carriage, eat this first today." Ye Cenqiu said.

These problematic woods can't be seen from the outside unless they have been burnt. Besides, it's getting late, and it's okay to eat dry food to deal with it.

"Yes." Gao Jingkang nodded, walked to the back of the carriage, and took out the dry food he had prepared earlier from the compartment.

Ye Cenqiu and Yu Luosha got into the carriage.

"Brother Gao, let's take turns keeping watch tonight." Ye Cenqiu took out dry food from the carriage, but it was much better than Cui Kaida's, so Gao Jingkang shared Cui Kaida's food.

"Okay." What happened just now inevitably made people vigilant, Gao Jingkang nodded.

"He's in the woods, do you want to catch him?" Sitting down, Yu Luocha lazily leaned on the soft fur.

There was a mattress on the carriage, Ye Cenqiu took it out from the compartment, and covered Yu Luocha with one.

Ye Cenqiu said, "No need."

He knew who was following behind him, so he was not in a hurry now.

At dawn, several people set off again.

"Princess." Mu Banban and Routang walked to the place where Ye Cenqiu rested last night, only to see a pile of half-burned ashes.

"It was discovered." Beef soup curled his lips, and kicked a half-burned log with his toes and rolled it around.

As the wood passed through her hands, she naturally recognized it.

"The landlord of Wangchuan is a great master after all, the princess is better to be careful." Mu Bandao was loyal to Gong Jiu and was ordered to protect Niu Tang.

Although he is good at martial arts, he is far from being an opponent of the grand master.

"I know." Beef Tang glanced at Mu Han and said coldly.

......

"Retire." The eunuch's shrill voice sounded in the hall.

After a while, all the ministers in the hall bent down together and said loudly: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The young emperor in a dragon robe turned his back and walked to the imperial study room. The people in the hall had already retreated as he wanted. Although the entire imperial study room had royal luxury, it was extremely empty.

There was no one around, the young emperor sat down on the chair, looked down and saw the letter at the bottom.

The letter was delivered with two heads attached.

Because of these things that quietly appeared in his imperial study, the entire palace was turned around.

They found some people, but none of them brought these things in for Wang Chuan.

The young emperor looked at the letter with a difficult look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhuge is here." An eunuch gently opened the door, walked in front of the little emperor, and said.

"Let him in." The little emperor said, looking away from the letter.

"Yes." The eunuch withdrew silently.

After a while Zhuge Zheng and I walked in.

"Your Majesty." He bowed and saluted.

"Aiqing, do you think my palace can come and go freely for those with high martial arts skills?" Looking up at Zhuge Zhengwo, the little emperor said calmly.

This question is not easy to answer.

The imperial palace is the emperor's home. If the answer is yes, then if the emperor's home is treated as a back garden, it is not a slap in the face of the emperor, the master.

But Zhuge Zhengwo looked calm, and said: "My minister is also a martial arts practitioner. If these things were brought by Wang Chuanzhu himself, they should be able to be sent to the palace quietly, but it is not so easy for the rest of them."

So the emperor didn't have to worry about his own safety so much.

Of course the little emperor knew it too, otherwise he wouldn't have asked people to check whether there were people in the palace who were cheating.

But the problem is not found.

It was because he didn't understand that Wang Chuan's behavior this time seemed to have a thorn in his heart.

"Your Majesty." Zhuge Zheng said that he didn't want to discuss this with the emperor any more, "The master of Wangchuan is coming soon."

"Yeah." The little emperor nodded slightly, "If it arrives, Ai Qing will come and tell me."

This time the matter of the invisible man was widely circulated among the people. From the beginning of the evil, it was rumored that they were interested in the throne.

King Taiping always sneered at these folk rumors, but he did not expect to receive a letter from the emperor this time.

The tall man read the letter in his hand with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

The veins in the hand holding the letter bulged, King Taiping put the letter away, opened the door and called someone in.

"My lord." The man who was called in was tall and tall, with a fierce aura from fighting on the battlefield.

Compared with King Pingnan, King Taiping made great military achievements in his early years, and the confidantes of the palace are all old people who came back from the battlefield with him.

"Old Huo." Looking at the face of his confidant, King Taiping's ugly expression suddenly relaxed, "I'll trouble you this time."

"My lord, it's not troublesome to say anything." The man smiled.

King Taiping sighed, wrote a letter to him, and asked him to send it to Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu is his son, but since his mother died, this child has separated from him, and later left home at a young age.

He was ashamed of Gong Jiu, and had always indulged him, but he never thought that he would do these things.

This confidant of his came from a family of martial arts before joining the army, and in recent years he has been the one who sent letters to Gong Jiu on his behalf.

......

A few days later, Ye Cenqiu entered Beijing.

Zhuge Zhengwo led the man to the mansion when he received the news.

As for the master of Wangchuan, Zhuge Zheng and I have heard of the reputation before entering the court, but I have never seen it.

When I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be such a young man.

Zhuge Zheng felt a little surprised in my heart, but it didn't show on his face.

After entering Zhuge Zhengwo's residence, Ye Cenqiu and the others were led to the West Wing to stay temporarily

Zhuge Zheng and I have just entered the imperial court as an official, and I don't have much money in hand. I used most of my wealth to buy news from Wang Chuan, and I am even poorer.

Thinking of the silver in my hand, Zhuge Zheng jumped out of the corner of my eye.

Even though the emperor had already compensated him with the money after he knew about it, he still couldn't help but click his tongue when he thought of the money he gave back at the beginning.

No wonder Wang Chuan made money.

But outsiders think that Wang Chuan makes money by auctioning and selling news, but they don't know that Wang Chuan's most profitable business is actually the caravans that spread across many countries.

There are quite a few people in Wangchuan who know martial arts. In order to prevent being robbed by bandits, the current caravans have to spend a lot of money to hire bodyguards, and they dare not go too far, but the caravans in Wangchuan don’t use it. Scared so much.

What's more, Wang Chuan and Ye Cenqiu gave some rare things, which made money even more.

"The house is simple and crude, please stay here first." Zhuge said rightly.

Knowing how rich Wang Chuan is, Zhuge Zheng and I looked at Ye Cenqiu at this moment and really felt that my house was poor.

"Thank you, Master Zhuge."

When Cui Kai arrived in the capital, he had already disappeared.

Zhuge was going out with me, and not long after, a letter was delivered to the emperor's desk.

At Shenshi the next day, a carriage quietly entered the palace from Donghua Gate.
