Chapter 22 Gan Shaolong's Death

But he saw a person standing more than ten feet away, with a gentle breeze blowing, white clothes fluttering, and very casual under the moonlight. The man felt it and bowed to the ceremony: "I was born in Luo Hanshui in the evening, and I met Master Jue."

Master Lejue smiled slightly and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Luo's trick of "repaying peaches and rewarding" was perfect, which really made the old monk admire him."

"I dare not be a good person. I came to disturb the master in the middle of the night. Please don't blame the master."

Master Lejue was the first martial arts academy of Daming Temple thirty years ago. He entered Zen with martial arts and studied martial arts of various schools. He was as biased as Luo Hanshui, and forced the Buddhist beads back in the same way. There were probably few people in the entire world. Moreover, Lejue, who had the cultivation of the "Golden Body Realm", used seven successful powers to shoot the Buddhist beads out.

He was forced out of the circle by Yi Wuwei by "repaying his love" and vaguely guessed that Luo Hanshui should have something to do with Yi Wuwei, but he didn't point it out, looking at Luo Hanshui and said, "I don't know why Mr. Luo came to visit late at night?"

"I don't know why my younger son was taken away by the high-ranking master Yan Zhongchang. The disciple left a message saying that he could be found after he arrived at Daming Temple. The master should know about this, right?"

In fact, Luo Hanshui thought that he was conscious but did not know, but he was conscious and was for the enlightened monks and should not do anything to kidnap the younger generation. However, he could not find Yan Zhongchang, so he had to inspire each other with words.

Lejue was slightly stunned. Thinking of Luo Hanshui's technique, Yan Zhongchang was not convinced by his Buddhist principles back then. The purpose of the technique was defeated by Yi Wuwei and captured the descendants of Yi Wuwei.

He has been studying Buddhism for ten years and has long been worried about defeating the matter of being invincible. He heard this and said, "Amitabha Buddha, sins, sins, and causes, and is surrounded by silk threads. Good and bad fates are all for themselves. If it is really done by the bad disciple Zhong Zhong, I will send someone to send the noble prince back to the house."

"Will the master know where Mr. Yan go?" Although he knew that Luo Xiaoyao should be in danger of life, the father and son were in deep love, so he hoped to find Yan Zhongchang immediately and save Luo Xiaoyao.

"Good, good, don't you know that Mr. Luo knew that Mr. Yi Wuwei Yi?" But he answered the question in a vain question.

Yan Zhongchang clearly stated that he wanted the elders of Luo Xiaoyao Master Sect to come to Daming Temple to lead people. He felt that it was strange. He heard this and thought it was like a thought, and he guessed that this matter should be related to Yi Wuwei, so he replied: "Mr. Yi is still the master of the son."

"So that's it. I know the reason. I think it's because of the bad disciple's competitive spirit. I offended Mr. Ling. It's because I have no idea about teaching. Mr. Luo, but please feel free to go back. I guarantee that Mr. Ling is safe."

But after hearing this, he felt that there was something hidden, but he was not convenient to ask. Seeing that he was so honest and had no intention of protecting his shortcomings, Luo Hanshui felt at ease and raised his fists and said, "Then I'll be fine. Master, I'll disturb Qing Xiu, and I hope to forgive my sins. I will say goodbye to you. I will come and thank you again the next day."

"Good, good." Li Jue smiled slightly and returned the courtesy.

Luo Hanshui retreated and met with Weng Mu and Sikong Ran who were waiting outside the temple, and then headed to Youzhou City. This time he visited Daming Temple at night. Before Master Lejue's attitude, he did not dare to be arrogant, so he brought Weng Mu and the others with him just in case.

The three of them walked not far away and vaguely heard a sound from the woods ahead, as if someone was struggling and moaning. Luo Hanshui frowned and signaled Sikong Ran to enter and investigate.

After a while, Sikong Ran came out and said, "Report to the Lord, the man in the forest seems to have practiced the poison skills and suffered backfire. He is afraid that his life will be in the near future."

Luo Hanshui and Weng Mu looked at each other and entered the woods. But they saw a man who looked like a beggar and had a bearded face, with his eyes closed, his face turned black, his head was sweating continuously, his breathing was rapid, and his breath was disordered, and he thought he would not be alive.

This man was Gan Shaolong. That day, Liu Gongwen captured Chang Qingqing and left. When he thought of the "Hundred Insects and Poison Sutra" hidden on Chang Qingqing, he was even more anxious. He only hoped that Liu Gongwen did not find it, so he told Fang Changsheng that if the people from the Medicine King Valley came to pick up Miao Kexue, he must inform him of his real name and the robbery of Chang Qingqing.

He knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Liu Gongwen, and hoped that Medicine King Valley would be able to help him without any grudges. After giving in, he pursued all the way to Yizhou, but he did not expect that Liu Gongwen would detour to the Northern Han.

When Gan Shaolong came to Youzhou, he heard that the King of Yan had been killed in the rebellion. The guests in the mansion had gone their separate ways. He guessed that Liu Gongwen might also escape when he heard the news. But he thought that the Yan Palace was the only clue to find Liu Gongwen. He was unwilling to accept it, so he wandered around the King of Yan Palace to investigate and wait for Liu Gongwen to appear.

The so-called skill is not hard to do. In the evening of that day, I saw Liu Gongwen entering the Yan Palace, but I didn’t see him carrying Chang Qingqing. In a hurry, I hid in the Yan Palace at night to investigate, but was discovered by Liu Gongwen. He started fighting in the Yan Palace. Gan Shaolong’s martial arts skills were weaker than Liu Gongwen. In addition, there was a disciple in the mansion with Guizhen skills. After a few moves, he was seriously injured, but he was lucky enough to escape.

After escaping to the woods, the hidden toxins in his body also occurred due to serious injuries. When he was in great pain, he met Luo Hanshui and the other two who came to hear the sound. Weng Mu walked to Gan Shaolong, squatted down and took the pulse for a while: "This person has practiced the poison skills, and it seems that his skills are wrong, and there is still poison on his body. In addition, he is seriously injured, and the poison has invaded his internal organs. He may not have passed the incense stick."

Gan Shaolong opened his eyes slightly at this time and said weakly: "Senior... cough, cough, I'm sorry, I'm young Gan Shaolong... I'm asking me for help..."

He heard Weng Mu's words in confusion and knew that Weng Mu was a man in the martial arts world. He thought that he might die in an instant. When he thought about the safety of Evergreen in his heart, he asked for it.

Weng Mu turned his head and looked at Luo Hanshui. Seeing Luo Hanshui nodding, he said to Gan Shaolong: "Since you meet it, it's also fate. Tell me..."

Hearing Weng Mu agree, Gan Shaolong forced himself to move his body and smiled miserably, "I have an adopted daughter... I'm going to kidnap for the evil people. Please tell me about the medicine... The people from the Medicine King Valley try to save me..."

When Weng Mu heard Gan Shaolong mention the Medicine King Valley, he was shocked. He hurriedly helped Gan Shaolong up, pressed his back with a palm, and said anxiously: "What's your relationship with Medicine King Valley?"

Gan Shaolong felt a qi slowly input from the Du Yu point on his back, and the pain gradually weakened. He knew that Weng Mu spent his true energy to maintain his vitality for a moment, and his face showed gratitude, "Thank you, senior... I was born to the Medicine King Valley and stole the poisoning scriptures of the valley, but I never harmed anyone with this evil. Cough... I saved the valley master's granddaughter, and my adopted daughter Chang Qingqing was again..."

"Chang Qingqing?" Weng Mu was shocked again, and hurriedly talked about the appearance and appearance of Chang Qingqing she had seen in Xinzhou, and asked, "Is it this little girl?"

Gan Shaolong was excited, "Senior... cough, cough, senior knows Qingqing? Do you know where she... is?"

Weng Mu shook his head, and he was not sure whether Chang Qingqing had really escaped, so he sighed: "I don't know either. I didn't expect that the man was the evil man surnamed Liu as Mr. Chu said. Oh, you said the valley poisoning sutra you stole? Where is the poisoning sutra now?"

Weng Mu heard Chu Nanfeng mention it at Taibai Mountain Academy and knew that Liu Gongwen’s purpose was to make the magic of the Poison Sutra, so he asked this question. Unexpectedly, when Gan Shaolong heard Weng Mu ask about the Poison Sutra, he was suspicious.

He had never known Weng Mu and others, but he was waiting to die and asked for it. He thought that if Weng Mu and others were good people, it would be better. If they were evil people, it would be fine. When it comes to the poison sutra hidden in Chang Qingqing's body, it was related to Chang Qingqing's life and death, so he would not tell it.

In my heart, Weng Mu and others might have been sent by Liu Gongwen to deceive him into telling the whereabouts of the poison scripture, so he closed his eyes and said nothing. What a person Weng Mu? Seeing Gan Shaolong's expression, he knew that he was suspicious and fearful, and did not force him. He asked again: "What else do you have to explain?"

Gan Shaolong looked at Weng Mu, shook his head as if guilty on his face. Weng Mu sighed and pulled away his right hand pressed on Gan Shaolong's back. Gan Shaolong said, "Thank you...before..." Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and died of anger.

Luo Hanshui shook his head when he saw this: "This man is quite scheming, but he is also a kind and righteous person. Alas, hide his body first in the grass, and Sikong is in charge of the affairs. I will send someone to bury him tomorrow."

When the three of them returned to the city branch pavilion, they saw a guard waiting in front of the hall of the pavilion. When Sikong Ran knew that there was news, they stepped forward. The guard handed a scroll of paper to Sikong Ran and then left.

Sikong Ran opened the scroll and looked at Luo, and said with a smile: "The news came from the Northern Han Dynasty that Mr. Chu knew about the young master's captive, so he told Elder Weng not to worry, but he should go back to Taiyuan first..."

"Oh? I think Nanfeng has met Yan Zhongchang, very good, very good." Luo Hanshui smiled slightly when he heard this, entered the hall, and sat down and said to Weng Mu, "What's going on with Chang Qingqing? How can Elder Weng recognize him?"

Weng Mu talked about what Luo Xiaoyao encountered in Xinzhou and Luo Hanshui. Luo Hanshui was a little surprised. "It's really a coincidence. It seems that Liu Gongwen has returned to the Yan Prince's Mansion. Sikong will investigate tomorrow to see if the little girl is with him. If she is still in the hands of Liu Gongwen, don't try to save me. I will go to Yunzhou immediately, which may help Nanfeng with his help."

One by one by one

At the entrance of the west gate of Youzhou City, Yelu Zongwu looked back and followed a horse ten feet away behind him. He patted his chest and let out a long sigh. The horse behind him was Chu Nanfeng.

It turned out that after Yelu Zongwu attended the wedding banquet between Xiao Siwen and Princess Yan, he said goodbye to Xiao Yanbei and came to Youzhou. Unexpectedly, he followed Chu Nanfeng shortly after leaving. He didn't know what Chu Nanfeng wanted for a while, but he didn't dare to come forward to greet him. He was frightened along the way.

After entering the city, people came and went on the streets. Yelu Zongwu walked for a while and then looked back to visit him, but he disappeared Chu Nanfeng and came to the Yan Palace in shock and suspicion.

The King of Yan was executed. Although the house was not confiscated, the personnel in the mansion changed drastically. The person who took over was an official from Duqingwensi, a member of the Duqingwensi, who also recognized Yelu Zongwu. When he saw him coming to the Yan Palace, he was not surprised. Instead, he welcomed Yelu Zongwu into the central hall and handed him an imperial edict. As Yan Zhongchang expected, Yelu Jing's order for the commander of the guard palace had already been sent to Youzhou.

After reading the imperial edict, Yelu Zongwu was surprised again. It turned out that the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty gave Yelu Zongwu the mansion, which was half a large mansion, to the General's Mansion. Yelu Zongwu could not have imagined that he was relying on the reason why he was a brother of the same clan as the emperor.

He asked the official in charge about Liu Gongwen's whereabouts. When he learned that an assassin entered the mansion a few days ago, he was shocked. He expected that the matter was related to Liu Gongwen. He remembered Yan Zhongchang's order and guessed that Liu Gongwen must have gone to the Guardian Office and discussed some things with the official in charge, and that was to go to the Guardian Office.

There were seven or eight people sitting in a side hall in the Guardian Office of the Nanda King Court. Liu Gongwen, whose beards were neatly decorated, sat on a chair on the left. There were two men over 40 sitting next to him. The guards on the right were all descendants from the Ninth Tent of the Yaoyan, most of whom were young at the age of twenties.

"The General Zongwu served as the commander of our guard office as the Ji Fanghuang tent. Hehe, he was condescending." One of the young guard leaders said that the Khitans called each other a name directly. These children of the Nine Tents grew up in Youyun and also gave more Chinese names.

"Brother Qingyuan said it well. I heard that the emperor gave the Yan Prince's Mansion to Zongwu, but it was an official position... Hehe." One of the young men with braids on both sides of his forehead sneered before he finished speaking, as if he was dissatisfied.

Another person said: "Zongwu commander is also the commander general of Shuozhou Cavalry Battalion..."

Suddenly, Yelu Zongwu's figure appeared at the door, and the man stopped talking. Yelu Zongwu was already the boss of these descendants of the nine tents. When everyone saw him coming in, they all stood up and greeted him: "See the commander."

"Please sit down, everyone." Yelu Zongwu smiled and took his seat straight to the main seat. He was originally a general who commanded thousands of troops and had a great reputation.

"Zongwu has received the holy grace this time and is the commander of the Guardian. I hope you will help you in the future. If you are not on duty tonight, you can have a drink at Zongwu's Mansion. How about it?" After hearing this, several guards looked at each other and nodded in response.

"Then Zongwu prepares wine tonight to treat you all." Yelu Zongwu smiled and looked at Liu Gongwen who was smiling and silent. He hesitated for a moment and pondered: "Mr. Yan has something to do and has no return. I have said that he ordered Zongwu... I hope that Mr. Liu will act as a guest in the guard office for the time being. I don't know what to do?"

Yelu Zongwu was promoted to the commander of the Guardian Palace this time, and his power was also great. The masters of the Guardian Palace were much better than those of the previous Yan Prince's Mansion. Now Yelu Zongwu has fulfilled his identity as a guest minister for himself. Liu Gongwen was willing to do so. Hearing this, he stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Commander Yelu, Liu should obey your order."

Yelu Zongwu nodded and smiled, then turned to the other two men and said, "I don't know what you mean by me?"

These two men were also guests of the Yan Prince's Mansion. When they heard this, they looked happy and stood up to salute: "Thank you, Lord Commander."

Yelu Zongwu signaled the three of them to sit down: "How about those gentlemen going to Zongwu's Mansion together tonight?"

Liu Gongwen frowned, "Liu has an enemy. I don't know how to learn about Liu's news about Prince Yan's Mansion. I came to the door the day before yesterday, probably because it was inconvenient to the general."

Naturally, he did not dare to tell Yelu Zongwu that the enemy had made an appointment with him. At that time, there were many masters in the Yan Palace, so Liu Gongwen was fearless. Now he was different. In addition, he got into Weng Mu, Luo Xiaoyao and others, and he was thinking about hiding in the Guard Mansion for a while and waiting for Yan Zhong to come back.

A man in blue clothes beside him said when he heard this: "What are you afraid of a person who returns to the realm? Even if you have divine thoughts, what about the realm of holding the elixir? Do you dare to come to the Yan Prince's Mansion and the guard office to act wildly?"

I think this person was hurt by Gan Shaolong, and now he entered the Guardian and became a guest minister, and his tone was naturally very arrogant.

Yelu Zongwu was displeased when he heard this and frowned: "What does Mr. Liu mean?"

"I'm not afraid, but I just entered the escort mansion and attracted enemies, which would cause criticism. If Liu doesn't show up, they will not be able to find it. They will leave in a few days, which will save some trouble."

Yelu Zongwu nodded after hearing this: "It's good, so follow what Mr. said."

As soon as Chu Nanfeng entered the city, he was recognized by several arrow guards who Weng Mu arranged for him to pay attention to at the city gate and took him to the branch pavilion to meet Weng Mu. Weng Mu was shocked when he did not see Luo Xiaoyao accompany him. After leading Chu Nanfeng to the hall to sit, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Chu, have you found the young master?"

Seeing his disturbance, Chu Nanfeng smiled and nodded, telling what happened in Xiao Yanbei Mansion in Yunzhou, and said: "Senior Mu said that Xiaoyao is destined to be with him, so he took him to Mingyue Villa for a few days. I think this is Xiaoyao's opportunity. Chu also followed Senior Mu's wishes and went to Mingyue Villa to bring them with him when he returned south."

"They?" Weng Mu said a little confused, and Chu Nanfeng informed him of the matter of taking Xiao Muyun as his disciple.

Weng Mu smiled and said, "Miss Xiao is very lucky to be able to worship Mr. Chu as his teacher... Oh, did Mr. Chu meet the Pavilion Master on the way?"

Chu Nanfeng was stunned: "Brother Luo? Has he come too? He went to Yunzhou again? Chu did not meet him on the way."

Tongbao Pavilion has only two branch pavilions in Liao Kingdom, one in Liaoyang and the other in Youzhou. Weng Mu asked two arcade guards to go to Mingyue Villa to report the news of Luo Xiaoyao's captive, and he also wanted to keep the arcade guards by Chu Nanfeng's side. Unfortunately, Chu Nanfeng did not stay, so the news was not conveyed smoothly.

It just so happened that the princess of Yan State was a big deal. The Khitan knew that before Luo Hanshui saw Yan Zhongchang return, he guessed that he must have gone to Yunzhou to attend the wedding banquet. He ordered Weng Mu to stay in Youzhou to pay attention to Liu Gongwen and went to Yunzhou alone to find Yan Zhongchang, but he did not meet Chu Nanfeng on the way.

Weng Mu then told Luo Hanshui to Daming Temple and about meeting Gan Shaolong.

"I didn't expect this to change so much. Alas, I didn't expect that the little girl who stole chickens outside Cizhou City was Changshan's sister." Chu Nanfeng also learned Chang Qingqing's love from Luo Xiaoyao, and he sighed when he heard this: "This Gan Shaolong seems to be a kind person with affection and righteousness. It's a pity. Xiaoyao said that before he arrived in Yunzhou, Liu Gongwen did go back alone. Seeing that Chang Qingqing had indeed escaped, he didn't know why she saved..."

"From Gan Shaolong's death, this thief must have returned to the Yan Prince's Mansion, but he could not find out the whereabouts of the thief. I asked the manager Sikong to go and ask for someone in person. When he comes back, he may know where Liu Bid is?"

"It's so good, Elder Laoweng."

"Was Yan Zhongchang still in Yunzhou?"

"It's strange to talk about Yan Zhongchang. After fighting with me that day, there was no sign..." Chu Nanfeng shook his head in confusion: "Even Xiao Yanbei doesn't know why he left."

"Will you not attend the wedding banquet because you lost to Mr. Chu and feel that you have lost face?"

"From Yan Zhongchang's cultivation level, his mood will definitely not be affected by this small matter, and I might not be able to defeat him if I had not taken any tricks."

Weng Mu thought for a moment and pondered: "That's strange, he hasn't returned to the guard house..."

"The man named Yelu Zongwu who was walking with him... he came to Youzhou with me and entered the city. Chu wanted to follow him and perhaps find out the whereabouts of Liu Gongwen, but was brought here by the Arc Guard." Chu Nanfeng smiled: "But I also ordered an Arc Guard to follow him, and there should be news back."

At this time, Sikong Ran returned from inquiring about the news. After hearing Weng Mu's introduction to Chu Nanfeng, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He could not have imagined that the elegant and elegant scholar in front of him was actually a person highly praised by the Pavilion Master.

"I asked someone to inquire. Liu Gongwen returned to the Yan Palace four days ago. Someone went to the mansion that night. Since then, I have not known where I went." Sikong Ran Ming sipped tea and said, "The person Mr. Chu is going to follow has also entered the Yan Palace."

"Entering the Yan Prince's Mansion?" Chu Nanfeng frowned. He didn't know that Yelu Zongwu was the younger brother of the King of Yan and the cousin of the current Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty.

"Listen to Xiaoyao, Liu Gongwen and them happened to meet each other halfway. I think Yelu Zongwu should be with Yan Zhongchang... Could it be that Yelu Zongwu is originally from the Yan Prince's Mansion?" After Luo Xiaoyao was kidnapped by Yan Zhongchang, he could also hear some words from Yan Zhongchang and the others.

"There are two days left before the date when the Lord Miao Gu made an appointment with Liu Zhe. He had no hostages on his hands. He thought he would hide. Tonight, he would go to the Yan Prince's Mansion to find out the whereabouts of Liu Zhe. "

At present, Liu Gongwen had no hostages in his hands, and the one-month appointment was no longer meaningful. Weng Mu felt that what Chu Nanfeng said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. Near the hour of Hai, the two of them arrived outside the Yan Prince's Mansion. They vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the mansion. They looked at each other, jumped into the Yan Prince's Mansion, and looked at the place where the fighting sounded.

The Yan Prince's Mansion is nearly a yard. There is a large grassland on the right side of the mansion, with a felt tent on it. Several clusters of bonfires were lit on the grass in front of the felt tent, and all sheep were roasted on it. Yelu Zongwu sat on the ground, with a low table in front of it, and barbecue, shochu and other items on the table.

There are six short tables on each side of the left and right sides. Eight men in regular clothes are kneeling or sitting cross-legged behind the table, eating and looking at the fight scene not far away. Several servants are walking around to add wine and meat.

Chu and Weng stopped at a rockery beside the grassland and looked at it. They saw a masked man fighting with an old man in gray robe. There was one person standing two meters away from each side, thinking that they wanted to stop the masked man from escaping.

The masked man seemed to be very weak, and he fought with the old man with gray robe with his palm or fingers, but he was afraid that the people guarding both sides would attack him, and his moves would mostly be to defend but not attack.

Chu Nanfeng looked for a moment and said to Weng Mu: "The masked man is Miao Changning, the master of Medicine King Valley. Behind the table in the middle is Yelu Zongwu, and Elder Lao Weng controlled him."

"It turns out that this guy is Yelu Zongwu. Okay, I'll leave it to me to deal with." Weng Mu nodded. He had seen Yelu Zongwu when he was in the Daizhou Canyon, but he didn't know his name at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
