Chapter 28: A Chinese Ghost Story 2 that started early
Yiye Zhiqiu's face became worse and worse when he heard Ning Caichen's words, because he knew that it would be impossible to go to the underworld to grab people.
"Scholar, you are crazy! Where is the underworld? That can only be reached by dead people! Even if you and I can go, there will be a situation where you will go without returning, let alone grab someone back!"
Listening to Yiye Zhiqiu's words, Ning Caichen knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Zhiqiu, I beg you. As long as you bring me to the underworld, even if you die, I will be willing!"
Just after Ning Caichen knelt down, Yiye Zhiqiu also knelt down quickly. Yiye Zhiqiu, who was kneeling on the ground, held Ning Caichen's shoulder and said embarrassedly, "There is gold under the knees of a man, and you are my benefactor. How can I let you kneel down to me!"
"Zhiqiu, please help me. No one except you will help me!" Ning Caichen grabbed Yiye Zhiqiu's clothes and begged.
"Ning Caichen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that my magic power is limited, and I am less than 30% sure, bringing you and Xiaoqian back. If something goes wrong, then you will never be able to return to the world!" Yiye Zhiqiu said in embarrassment to his plea with Ning Caichen.
Looking at the three fingers deep in Zhiqiu, Ning Caichen nodded quickly and said, "30% sure! No, no need to do so much. As long as I have a little hope, I will try it. Zhiqiu, I beg you, you can take me down. If something really goes wrong then, you can leave directly, and don't worry about me."
Listening to Ning Caichen's words, Yiye Zhiqiu helped him up and then kept walking in the room.
After leaving for a long time, Yiye Zhiqiu nodded to Ning Caichen and said, "Ning Caichen, I have only owe you my kindness in my life. I originally thought I would not have the chance to return it to you! I didn't expect that cause and effect would come so quickly!"
"Zhiqiu..." Ning Caichen looked at Yi Ye Zhiqiu who was sighing and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Looking at Ning Caichen's appearance, Yiye Zhiqiu nodded and said seriously, "Ning Caichen, stop talking about anything, I'll try it. But you'd better be prepared in advance, because we may not be able to come back alive this time."
"Zhiqiu, I, I...!" Ning Caichen looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a certain expression, with tears in his eyes, and he could not say anything thanks. Because he knew that any words of thanks were not enough to express his gratitude.
"There will be another ten days to be the auspicious day of the Dao Dao. That day, the gate of ghosts will open. I will only take you in at that time." Yi Ye Zhiqiu said to Ning Caichen.
"Ten days! Isn't that Xiaoqian very dangerous?" Ning Caichen asked worriedly about Yiye Zhiqiu's words, because he didn't know how Xiaoqian was doing below and whether she would be bullied and troubled by Grandma Shu.
Yi Ye Zhiqiu wiped the sword in his hand and said absent-mindedly; "Ten days later, it will be auspicious day for the Dao Dao. As a king of the Heishan Old Demon, he should marry Xiaoqian to the door on this day. As long as we can catch up with the wedding team, we may rescue Xiaoqian before meeting the Heishan Old Demon. Otherwise, with my Taoism, if I really encounter the Heishan Old Demon, it would be a dead end."
"Ten days!" Ning Caichen muttered time, holding his hand tightly, and even pierced his nails.
At this time, Qin Hui played with the invitation letter from the Black Mountain Old Demon in her hand and muttered softly, "I will use you to the underworld in ten days. The memories in my mind are all false after all, so I want to know what this legendary underworld looks like!"
"Sir, are you here?" Just as Qin Hui was thinking secretly, Master Zhao's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Come in," Qin Hui responded, and then asked Master Zhao who came in, "I'm still coming to see me so late, what's the matter!"
Master Zhao heard this and lowered his head and said, "Sir, an urgent report came from Tsinghua County ahead. It was said that it was a serious offender in the court. The former Minister of Rites, Fu Tianchou, and Fu's prison carriage will pass through our territory tomorrow, so that we can provide food in Guobei County and provide escorts along the way."
"Fu Tianchou!" Qin Hui listened to this and quickly pondered the memories in her mind, because this person was one of the main characters in the second scene of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl. Looking back on the plot of the second part, Qin Hui did not expect that the second scene would begin so soon before the first scene ended.
"What is the one who escorted Fu Tianchou? What is Fu Tianchou's charge?" Qin Hui asked Master Zhao after thinking for a while.
"The troops escorted were Nanjing's Jinyiwei, and the leaders were Nanjing commanders, Zuo Ling and Zuo Qianhu. As for Fu Tianchou's charges," said Zhao Master Zhao, who looked around and whispered, "I heard that he was intending to rebel."
Qin Hui heard this and said strangely, "Rebellion! It's impossible! Fu Tianchou is just a Minister of Rites, and he has already stepped down. Besides, he has no soldiers and no power, how could he rebel!"
Master Zhao nodded in agreement and sighed, "I don't know this little one, but now demons are rampant and the world is in chaos. Many of the important officials of the court were killed and exiled in various names. And now there is no law in the court's style."
Qin Hui listened to this and said to Master Zhao with some uncertainty; "Is there a national teacher named Cihang Pudu in the court now?"
Listening to Qin Hui's words, Master Zhao couldn't help but wonder; "Teacher Cihang Pudu has been in the court for more than ten years, how could he not know!"
But thinking so, Master Zhao still replied, "The current national teacher is Cihang Pudu. Moreover, the national teacher is now visiting the world for the emperor to appease the people's hearts, and he is about to pass by our Guobei County."
Qin Hui listened to Master Zhao's words, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, "Cihang Pudu is coming! Well, it seems that I have to find a chance. I will meet him for a while, otherwise I will never see such a master, wouldn't it be a pity!"
Qin Hui thought for a while and ordered Master Zhao, "Master, tomorrow you will take thirty yamen runners and Captain Wang to go out to greet you for fifteen miles. At that time, you must bring Zuo Qianhu and Lord Fu Tianchou to our Guobei County."
"This...!" Master Zhao looked embarrassed when he heard Qin Hui's words, because the prisoner escorted was the former Minister of Rites, and the route of the escort had been decided long ago. Even if he went to pick him up, he might not necessarily come.
Looking at Master Zhao's hesitation, Qin Hui looked up and asked, "Why, are there any difficulties?"
"Sir, Zuo Qianhu is a famous master of the Jinyiwei. We don't have this face, and secondly, he is alone, so he won't come!" Master Zhao said embarrassedly.
Qin Hui smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "No need to say more, you can just go and invite me tomorrow. When I see Zuo Qianhu, I will say that I have prepared a banquet in the city to welcome the soldiers who are tired of boats and trains."
When Master Zhao heard this, his face changed drastically and said, "Ah...! Sir, you can't! Zuo Qianhu and his party have at least hundreds of people! If these hundreds of people are anxious and frustrated, we may have spent a lot of money!"
"Master Zhao, are you questioning me, or do you think I should listen to you?" Qin Hui looked at Master Zhao with a smile on his face.
"I dare not, I dare not. I am just afraid of spending money on adults. I have never thought of going against the master!" Master Zhao heard this and thought about Qin Hui's style of killing the monsters alone that day, and immediately said with a big change in his face.
Qin Hui looked at Master Zhao who was frightened, nodded and said, "If you don't dare, go down and do it. Remember, don't say such things in the future, otherwise I will be very sad if I hear it!"
Master Zhao wiped the sweat from his head and replied repeatedly, "It's an adult, the young one understands, the young one understands."
Although Master Zhao was a little reluctant to give up money, Qin Hui was the chief official after all. So once Qin Hui made a decision, he could only act on orders. What's more, Qin Hui was still a terrifying boss. So when he saw the chill in Qin Hui's eyes, Master Zhao immediately surrendered.
Looking at Master Zhao who was leaving, Qin Hui patted the sword that was placed aside and smiled, "I, Guobei County, is a radius of hundreds of miles. If you don't come here, are you still going to live in a temple? Haha, there are only a few famous masters in the world. If you missed the two of you this time, would you let me go to find you all over the world!"
The next morning, with the flying wind and sand, a group of people gradually appeared in the horizon.
The people who appeared were all wearing persistent and sharp bodies, closely connected to each other, escorting a prison car.
"Everyone can stop and rest for a while!" With a loud shout, a middle-aged man wearing armor, carrying a crescent sword in his hand rode a horse and ran towards the direction of the prison car.
The man who was riding a horse was wearing a black cloak and had a murderous look on his face. He looked like he was not Yi.
"Mr. Fu, are you okay?" The middle-aged man clasped his fists in the prison car, then turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the prison car.
"I will not die before I see Your Majesty. I must confront Your Majesty in person and see who is the villain who falsely accused me in the court." The old man who was originally motionless in the prison car barely raised his head after hearing the middle-aged man's words and said weakly.
After hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged general shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Oh! The grievances in the court were originally unknown. Although I sympathized with the experience of the great master, the fight between you big masters is not something I can control! So I can only keep the Lord safe all the way. As for the grievances here, I believe that after seeing Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely decide."
"Mr. Fu, please drink some water first. We will arrive in Guobei County soon." The middle-aged general said, untied the kettle on his waist and handed it to the old man in the prison.
"Gudong, Gudong." The old man took the kettle and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.
After a few sips of water, the expression on Fu Tianchou's face looked a little better.
