Wei Lin lowered his eyes and said, "Besides, it sounds like the National Preceptor's Office is quite powerful."
Yunli was happy that the investigation finally had a direction, "To solve Cheng Suxin's bloody disaster, we will go to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to investigate."
Wei Lin nodded.
After getting down to business, Yunli started gossiping: "By the way, what were you and Liu Wuyan talking about last night? Your relationship has grown by leaps and bounds!"
Wei Lin pulled the reins of his horse and said leisurely, "He probably feels that he is a fellow-traveler with us and feels sympathy for each other."
"A fellow man?" Yunli was stunned, "How does he look like you?"
Our birth experiences are completely different, and our future ambitions are also different. How can we become the same people?
"He is Master Cheng's adopted son. He and Cheng Suxin are childhood sweethearts and they are in love. Master Cheng has betrothed Cheng Suxin to him."
Yunli rolled his eyes: "This is what he thinks."
Wei Lin was stunned, Xuan'er frowned: "You mean, Cheng Suxin doesn't like him? I think she is quite close to Liu Wuyan, and Liu Wuyan plays the flute to comfort her when she has nightmares."
Now Yunli was a little unsure, and muttered: "But I feel that the tone of 'no words, no rudeness' when we first met didn't sound like it was for lovers."
It was clearly the master's affection for his trusted subordinates, but there was also a hint of giving orders.
Wei Lin was slightly stunned. Women were indeed more delicate than men in terms of feelings. Cheng Suxin trusted and protected her, and Liu Wuyan stayed with her silently, so he had no doubts. Now that he thought about it, he really only saw Liu Wuyan's tender love.
As for Cheng Suxin, I have no idea.
Next, he was determined to observe and review, but Cheng Suxin was surrounded by maids and women, and he rarely saw her.
However, it was not without discovery.
Cheng Suxin went back to her ancestral home to pay homage to her ancestors. Master Cheng sent a dozen bodyguards and five or six maids to protect her.
These people's attitude towards Liu Wuyan was completely towards the leader of the bodyguards, not their master.
It stands to reason that Liu Wuyan is her fiancé and the adopted son of the Cheng family, so he can be considered half a master after all.
The maid's attitude may be influenced by Cheng Suxin, but the escorts can only be influenced by Master Cheng.
In other words, Mr. Cheng doesn't take his adopted son seriously.
In this case, it is contradictory.
Why would he betroth his precious daughter Cheng Suxin to Liu Wuyan?
These doubts swirled in Wei Lin's mind, and then he put them down. They came to repay Cheng Suxin's kindness of one hundred taels of silver, and they left after repaying. The Cheng family's affairs had nothing to do with them.
Yunli, who was idle and bored, took it seriously. Whenever he got a chance, he would hang out with the maid and the mother-in-law, and soon he had a complete picture of the situation in the Cheng family.
In addition to his daughter Cheng Suxin, Mr. Cheng also has an eleven-year-old daughter, born to his aunt, and a nine-year-old legitimate son, born to his stepmother ten years ago.
Yunli secretly guessed that the betrothal of Cheng Suxin to Liu Wuyan might have been the work of the step-wife.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. She felt even more sorry for Cheng Suxin, and secretly lamented that the step-wife was petty. What could a blind stepdaughter do to her son?
He also secretly wondered why Mr. Cheng didn't let his son do such things as ancestor worship?
You know, this is ancient times. Only boys can inherit the family business. For such important events as ancestor worship, only the eldest daughter can do it. This is disrespectful to the ancestors.
Seven days later, the convoy reached a dangerous canyon.
The canyon is so narrow that a carriage can barely pass through it. The peaks on both sides are majestic and steep, and the cliffs are as smooth as mirrors, with no grass growing on them.
Overall, it looks like a towering mountain peak that was split in half with a sword.
Yunli sighed: "Nature's miraculous craftsmanship! At first glance, I thought it was done by humans!"
Liu Wuyan smiled and said: "This peak is called Jianlai Peak. There is indeed such a legend. It is said that a long time ago, this peak was still a whole. An immortal's wife was captured by thieves. The immortal chased him to this mountain and found that his wife was dead. He was furious. Starting from the heart, slashing it with a sword, you will have the current Jianlai Peak."
Yunli raised his head and looked at the cliffs on both sides. This legend was probably true. Donglu once belonged to Canglan, and the so-called immortal might have been a monk.
Wei Lin frowned and urged: "This valley is extremely dangerous. Let's pass through it as soon as possible while the sun is still good."
"Brother Wei has thought carefully. Don't worry, brothers have traveled all over the country. They are very experienced. They have time to prepare and make sure they get out of the canyon before dark." After saying that, Liu Wuyan drove his horse to the front of the convoy.
When we were about to leave the valley, there was a man in white clothes standing in the mouth of the valley, holding floating dust in his hand, blocking the way.
Liu Wuyan drove his horse forward and was surprised: "Master of the National Preceptor's Office?"
The man in white was silent.
The motorcade had stopped, and the horses raised their hooves uneasily, making a clattering sound on the bluestone.
Yunli was secretly happy and stuck her head out, thinking of whatever they wanted. Just as they were about to go to the Imperial Prefect's Office to investigate, the mage from the Imperial Preceptor's Office automatically came to their door!
I saw the white-clothed mage standing quietly at the entrance of the valley, with the aura of one man standing in front of ten thousand people. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a sharp voice: "Hand over the jade rosary, and I will leave your body intact."
"Jade rosary?"
Liu Wuyan's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "We don't have jade rosary beads in Cheng Mansion. Did the Master make a mistake?"
The man in white slowly raised his eyes, "Guoshifu, you can't be wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dust in his hand was as fast as lightning and struck Liu Wuyan, who drew his sword to meet the enemy.
However, the gap between him and the man in white was too big. After only a few back and forth, he was defeated. The bodyguards rushed forward to help.
However, the canyon was narrow, and when there were more people, they couldn't move away, and they were even more constrained. After a while, several bodyguards were stained with blood.
"Ah Li, you protect Miss Cheng, and I'll help them." As he said that, Wei Lin tapped his toes, made a few ups and downs, and joined the battle. He kicked one at a time and asked all the bodyguards to kick them away, and then pulled out one of the bodyguards. With a single stroke of his broadsword, he pushed away the floating dust that stabbed Liu Wuyan.
"Don't kill him!" Yunli shouted from behind. Even if they couldn't use spiritual power and consciousness, they were still monks and couldn't kill mortals at will.
"knew."
Without looking back, Wei Lin carried the panting Liu Wuyan to the back and said softly: "Leave it to me."
However, everyone felt that he suddenly disappeared from the place like a line of blue smoke. There was no fierce struggle. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had stopped, and the floating dust fell to the ground, making a crisp sound on the bluestone.
The knife in Wei Lin's hand was already placed on the neck of the man in white.
The breeze blew slowly across the valley, and the whole place was silent. The escorts looked at Wei Lin with shock in their eyes. That was the mage from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and he was able to restrain him with one move!
"Speechless! Speechless!"
Cheng Su's panicked voice came from the car, and Yunli hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Cheng, the villain has been subdued, and Guard Liu is fine."
Cheng Suxin was still worried, so she opened the car curtain and was about to get out of the car. The maid supported her and hurriedly explained the current situation to her. Liu Wuyan also said that she was fine. Then she felt relieved and went back quietly. inside the car.
Wei Lin raised his hand and knocked the man in white unconscious, then threw him to Liu Wuyan, "Leave it to you to handle."
However, Liu Wuyan was in trouble. The Master of the Imperial Prefect's Office was not allowed to be killed. If anything happened to him, the entire Cheng family would probably be buried with him.
After thinking about it, he ordered his bodyguard to trap the man in white. He walked out of the canyon and found a dense forest. Then he woke up the man in white and said, "Master Mage, is there any misunderstanding? Our Cheng family is just a peaceful businessman." , I have never seen a jade rosary.”
"Hmph!" Even if he fell into the enemy's hands, the man in white still looked cold and arrogant, "You Cheng family are so brave, you dare to hide the jade rosary secretly, the Imperial Prefect's Office will not let the Cheng family go!"
Liu Wuyan's eyes sharpened, he put the dagger against the white-clothed mage's throat, and said sternly: "Let me say it again, our Cheng family has nothing to do with the jade rosary. We cannot afford to offend the Imperial Master's Mansion. If you are destined to die, then you..."
A flash of panic flashed across the Master's face, he held it in for a while and said: "The jade-faced snitch Liang Panpan personally confessed that she put the jade rosary in your escort's car..."
Outside the dense forest, because of Wei Lin's rescue, everyone in the convoy was in awe of him and asked them to protect Cheng Suxin. He sat outside on the carriage shaft. Yunli entered Cheng Suxin's carriage and was curiously asking Cheng Suxin's personal maid about the jade rosary. .
The maid's eyes trembled and she said slowly: "The jade rosary is the most precious treasure of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. It can cure all kinds of strange poisons in the world. It was stolen from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion by a jade-faced thief a year ago. The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was furious and vigorously pursued it. This Over the past many years, countless families in both countries have been devastated and killed."
Yunli blinked, two countries?
Doesn’t an institution like the Imperial Prefecture serve the royal family? How come Daqing's imperial masters can still go to Nantang to show off their power?
"Miss Yun, I have a favor for you." Cheng Suxin's soft voice sounded.
Yunli suppressed the doubts in her heart and said, "Miss Cheng, please speak."
Cheng Suxin bit her lip, her delicate body seemed to be blown over by the wind blowing outside the window, her voice was full of panic.
"The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is powerful, and the jade rosary is the favorite of the Imperial Preceptor. I'm afraid they won't let go of the Cheng family easily. Mr. Wei is very skilled in martial arts. My daughter would like to ask two of you to escort us to Qianjiang River."
"This..." Yunli hesitated. They had repaid the favor of the silver and it was time to set off to find the whereabouts of the spiritual energy. However, the Cheng family's confrontation with the Imperial Master's Mansion was like a worm shaking a tree.
Jiangnan No. 1 Escort Bureau, to put it bluntly, is also a merchant. How can it be compared with the government, not to mention that this Imperial Master's Office is very unusual.
"Ms. Cheng has a bodhisattva-like heart, and even a weak woman knows how to help people in danger. If we, martial arts practitioners, see uneven roads and cannot draw our swords to help, what is the use of our martial arts skills?"
Wei Lin's chivalrous speech came from outside, and Yunli nodded accordingly. He was not in a hurry to check the spiritual energy, so there was no harm in sending Cheng Suxin back first.
Not long after, Liu Wuyan came back, saying that he had released Master Bai, and ordered an escort to go ahead and rush back to Qianjiang to inform Master Cheng of the situation.
Yunli glared at Liu Wuyan angrily. He actually let the person go, and they hadn't even asked the man in white to question him yet!
Wei Lin grabbed her and said, "I think the jade rosary is a good breakthrough point."
Even without spiritual power, their five senses are far more sensitive than ordinary people. The two of them had already heard Liu Wuyan's interrogation of the mage.
Wei Lin said softly: "The Imperial Master's Office is determined to obtain the jade rosary. If you follow the Cheng family, you will surely know a lot of useful information."
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local coward. If you rush to find the Imperial Master's Mansion without knowing much about it, you will easily suffer a big loss.
It would be safer to go through Cheng Mansion first and understand them thoroughly before taking action.
With the mage's assassination, people were in panic all the way. Not only the maids and women, but also the bodyguards also talked about the Imperial Master's Mansion in fear from time to time.
From their chat, Yunli and the two slowly pieced together the information about the Imperial Prefecture.
The National Preceptor's Office has a long heritage and its establishment time is unknown. It has existed much longer than the two countries. It is independent of the two countries and serves the royal families of the two countries.
It is said that the Imperial Preceptor's Office can even intervene in the emperor's dethronement!
Regardless of the rise and fall of dynasties, the Imperial Prefecture remains unchanged.
This reminded Yunli of the pope in the ancient West, who was named Religion but was actually the supreme ruler.
"Maybe there are monks in the East Continent." Wei Lin said in a deep voice. The lifespan of any organization has a limit. The Imperial Master's Office has existed for too long, which is unreasonable.
Moreover, no emperor wants to have a 'Top Emperor' in charge.
An organization that has surpassed all dynasties for thousands of years, except for the absolute suppression of mortals by monks, he can't think of anything else.
Along the way, mages from the Imperial Master's Office kept coming to intercept and kill them, but they were all repelled by Wei Lin. The bodyguards headed by Liu Wuyan admired Wei Lin so much that many of them even wanted to worship him as their disciple.
When he finally arrived in Qianjiang, it was already half a month ago, and Mr. Cheng was too busy to welcome his daughter back.
Although the news was sent back early and the Cheng family responded and the Cheng family was fine, accidents happened to the escorts and the warehouse one after another.
Escort agencies are all about reputation. Now that the Cheng family's reputation has hit rock bottom, employers are coming to the door one after another, almost ruining the whole family.
The Cheng family is in danger.
At dusk, when Mr. Cheng returned home, the first thing he did was to call Liu Wuyan for questioning. After Liu Wuyan reported everything in detail, Master Cheng became dejected and cursed the jade-faced snitch.
Without the diamond and the porcelain work, she dared to steal the jade rosary, but she also had to have the ability not to be found out.
It didn't matter that she was caught, why did she want to implicate the Cheng family?
After a long while, Mr. Cheng asked solemnly: "Then Wei Lin's martial arts is really that strong?"
"It's rare in the world!" Liu Wuyan's eyes lit up, full of admiration, "We will continue to encounter the Master of the National Preceptor's Office later on, and he will defeat the enemy with one move!"
Mr. Cheng's turbid eyes moved, and his eyes were filled with a stern expression: "You can't be from the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, right?"
Liu Wuyan hesitated. He also had the same suspicion. The Imperial Master's Office has collected all the unique skills and talents from all over the world. Whose martial arts skills are better than those of the mages?
"If they are, they will definitely look for the jade rosary first. You can observe it secretly." After saying that, he waved away Liu Wuyan and continued to check the escort who escorted them a year ago to guess who the jade rosary might have fallen into.
Now, only by finding further clues about the jade rosary can the crisis of the Cheng family be solved.
On the second day after arriving in Qianjiang, Yunli and Li went to the largest bookstore in Qianjiang, and Cheng Suxin accompanied them as the host.
"Miss Cheng?" The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw her. The Cheng family was in trouble one after another, but the eldest lady still had time to visit the bookstore. Moreover, she was a blind girl.
Cheng Suxin nodded gently and said, "These two are distinguished guests of my Cheng family. I will take them to visit the bookstore."
