On the way back to the camp, Chang Yu still had many unanswered questions. According to Li Muxian, the girl of the Guo family was invaded by the evil energy of a Huang Taixian, and it was at least an old Huangxian that was more than a hundred years old.
It’s hard to say whether there are ghosts and gods in this world, but there will definitely be monsters. As the old saying goes, people become spirits as they age, and everything is animated. Beasts that have been around for hundreds of years can also become spirits. There is a joke in later generations that they are not allowed to become spirits after liberation. , making fun of people who talk too much, they will either be killed or eaten, but these days there are few people and vast land, and there are barren mountains and wild mountains everywhere. It is normal for birds and animals to live to be 180 years old. I don’t know if they can become monsters. , but there is always something evil about it.
As for the so-called evil energy invading the body, it may be that he was frightened and became insane.
"Are you really sure that the girl will get better within three days?" Chang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"That's natural. The poor man's spells always work." Li Muchian patted his chest very proudly.
"Is there really magic in this world?" Chang Yu pressed forward, while Li Muxian looked enigmatic and said, "It can't be said, it can't be said."
Chang Yu curled his lips and said, "Go back and ask the great monk."
Now it was Li Muchian's turn to glance: "The foreign monks like to chant sutras, and the monks only know how to chant sutras. When it comes to conquering demons and eliminating demons, I have more Taoist methods."
"You Taoists have many ways of pretending to be gods, tricking people into deceiving others," Chang Yu chuckled, "How dare you say that you haven't done that thing that Bu Yangzi still wants to do?"
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon for thousands of years. In every dynasty and every generation, there have been revelations about Buddhism and Taoism hiding evil and evil in a certain place, and in later generations, they have no longer seen it.
However, Li Muxian waved his hands vigorously and said with disdain: "I am a poor man but I have a talent. If you want a woman to come to you, you will not bother to act like that."
"It seems you still have a bottom line." Chang Yu chuckled, and Li Muchian also laughed. Seeing the little eunuch hesitate to speak, he finally said: "Actually, magic, how should I say, is passed down from our ancestors. That’s how we use it, and it’s effective, so does it matter whether it’s true or false?”
Chang Yu was startled, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it works for now, it's true. If it doesn't, it's just a trick."
It was already dark when we returned to the camp, but most of the soldiers did not fall asleep due to the hot weather. Instead, they chatted in groups or went swimming in the river. Several guards talked about Li Muchian's appearance just now, which caused an uproar among the people. Yu was deeply shocked just now. He wanted to talk to Monk Haihong to solve his doubts, but he couldn't find where he had gone.
Seeing Su Jing standing alone by the river holding a sword in a daze, she walked over and said, "You are also a Buddhist, do you have the means to subdue demons?"
Su Jing raised her eyebrows: "Yes".
Chang Yu was delighted: "Did you also use magic?"
"Use this." Su Jing shook her hand and the long sword was mostly unsheathed: "Don't talk about monsters and monsters, kill gods when you meet them."
Uh...can't communicate.
Chang Yu shook his head and was about to leave, but Su Jing stopped him again: "Is it bigger, the Huaihe River or the Yangtze River?"
"Of course it's the Yangtze River." Chang Yu was startled: "Have you never seen the Yangtze River?"
No, Sujing shook her head: "I've only seen the Yellow River, and this is the first time I've seen the Huaihe River. I didn't expect it to be so big. Wouldn't the Yangtze River be like the sea?"
Chang Yu smiled: "The reason why the Yangtze River is called the Yangtze River is because of its length, not its width. However, the Huaihe River is the dividing line between the north and the south. Its width is one of the largest rivers in the Ming Dynasty."
"The dividing line between north and south?" Su Jing looked confused.
"The north of the Huaihe River is considered the north, and the south is the south. Our Ming Dynasty is divided into north and south from here." Chang Yu smiled softly, "How about you, follow the governor to travel around and gain experience." He turned and left. Su Jing bared her teeth and rolled her eyes.
The sky was slightly bright, Chunxiang and his entourage said goodbye and left. Ma Shiying and Lu Zhenfei went to the city gate before returning. Ma Shiying felt uneasy, while Lu Zhenfei had another thought. Looking at the high wall, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. , no one is seen alive, no body is seen dead, a deposed vassal king just died a "sudden death" for the rest of his life.
As for the cause of the sudden death, no one is investigating, and not many people even care about the body. After all, it has been abandoned to the people, and the dead are buried casually with a roll of straw mat, unless one day a certain emperor thinks of you and gives you a pardon. Only then can he be given a grand burial, but such opportunities and examples are simply too rare.
Lu Zhenfei didn't know where Zhu Yujian's body was buried at this time, just like no one knew where King Guishan of the Lu Palace and King Zhu Zaicun of Hui were buried. In fact, he could ask or even pay tribute, but if it was just He had already gone to a person with an ordinary identity, but it was about a deposed vassal king whose identity was too sensitive, so he decided not to get involved in the matter, because the hint given to him by Chunxiang was already too obvious.
Dongchang could completely "investigate the case" quietly and unnoticed about this kind of thing. Why did he want to find out the situation from himself? If this is not made clear, it will both let you know and shut you up!
There is a large lake on the bank of the Huaihe River more than ten miles west of Fengyang County, which later became Longzi Lake in Bengbu City. However, at this time, only Huaiyuan County did not have Bengbu. It was surrounded by wilderness with deep trees and dense forests.
At half noon, Chunxiang and his party arrived at the lakeside. A fan put his finger in his mouth and whistled. After a while, he asked if there was an echo in the distance. After waiting for a while, three cavalry came, two fans and an unkempt face. Zhu Yujian.
"Is it just unearthed?" Chunxiang said with a smile: "Why don't you wash it off?"
Zhu Yujian said expressionlessly: "They are all dead. It doesn't matter whether they are washed or not."
"If you really become a dead person, you will have no value. It's better for our family to really send you on your way." Chunxiang smiled half-heartedly, and Zhu Yujian trembled: "Are you people in Dongchang really devoid of any humanity? ?”
"That's not necessarily the case." Chunxiang jumped off the horse and stretched: "There is still human touch, but they are all dead people."
Zhu Yujian let out a long sigh, walked to the water and washed his face: "When will the real master arrive?"
"I don't know" Chunxiang lay down in the grass under the tree: "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, just wait."
The real master didn't let them wait long. Just after noon, someone came and woke Chunxiang from his deep sleep: "My lord, my lord, here we come, here we come."
Chunxiang stood up and climbed up the tree. Looking northwest from a high position, he saw a group of hundreds of cavalry slowly coming east along the Huaihe River. So he jumped down and said to Zhu Yujian, who was obviously nervous: "Your Bole is here." ".
Zhu Yujian took a long breath without saying anything, and followed Chunxiang, got on his horse and ran towards the Huaihe River.
Chang Yu did not expect to meet Chunxiang here. The last contact between the two was when Chunxiang passed by Xuzhou and asked Jin Yiwei to send him a message. He only said that he would wait for him in Fengyang Mansion, but did not expect to be in the city. We met twenty miles away.
"You kid is now good at pinching. You actually knew that I was going to pass by this place, and you were able to arrive in the next two days. You've made great progress." Chang Yu put his hand on Chunxiang's shoulder and couldn't help but praise. In terms of being close to no one, Comparable to Chunxiang.
"Big brother is marching from the land. From Xuzhou, we must take the road to Su County and Huaiyuan..." I have to say that Chunxiang has made rapid progress. It is an exaggeration to be able to pinch, but he can use his brain.
"How did things go?" Chang Yu pulled Chunxiang under a tree and asked in a low voice.
"Look." Chunxiang pointed to a lonely figure holding a horse in the distance. It was Zhu Yujian. At this time, his eyes were looking this way, and Chang Yu waved.
Zhu Yujian trotted over quickly and came to Chang Yu: "The common people kowtow to see the Governor."
"Your Majesty, you are so polite." Chang Yu cupped his hand, and Zhu Yujian said quickly: "I don't dare to call him this, please take it back, Lord Governor."
Chang Yu hummed and stared at him carefully. Zhu Yujian also stared at him at the same time. The two of them just looked at each other for a long time.
"If the Ming Dynasty had only had princes like you, it would have been a mess a long time ago." Chang Yu sighed, Zhu Yujian smiled bitterly and was speechless, but the little eunuch continued: "If the Ming Dynasty had all princes like you, maybe we wouldn't be here today. This is the point."
Zhu Yujian was slightly surprised, but still said nothing.
At this time, Li Muxian walked leisurely from a distance, but was stopped by Chunxiang's gesture and walked away knowingly. Chang Yu then said to Zhu Yujian: "It is better to live in an ignoble manner than to die without knowing why you have been wronged."
Zhu Yujian smiled bitterly: "It's good to be alive, but the thing I'm most afraid of is the walking dead."
"If you are left to live like a zombie, why would I save you?" Chang Yu chuckled: "Don't worry, you will definitely live a happier life than if you were inside a high wall."
"I don't understand something. Why did the governor want to save me? Aren't you afraid of being implicated? This is a capital crime." Zhu Yujian couldn't understand.
The reason Chang Yu gave him was simple and direct: "Because I think you are very talented. You were born to be a legend. Originally, in the future... I wanted to see if you would become a legend in the future!"
Zhu Yujian, wearing this tall hat, was confused: "Does the Governor want to rebel? If so, you can kill me now."
Chang Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "I have no reason to rebel, let alone the need to rebel. Even if I rebel, you are not needed. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you are the first to raise an army without rebelling, so I think you are the only one who leads the way. That's all, don't think too much about it, just work hard in the military without your name this time, maybe... there will be some good results in the future."
"I'm already a dead man, so what good results can there be? Just as the governor said, I joined the army and went to the battlefield, whether it was life or death, I lived a happy life!" Zhu Yujian finally let go of his worries and smiled slightly at him. Chang Yu cupped his hands.
Chang Yu waved to the distance and called Lao Jiu over: "Put someone in your camp and train him well. Also, don't let him die too early."
Lao Jiu made a sound, looked Zhu Yujian up and down and then curled his lips, his face full of disgust: "Sir, where did you pick up this bad old man from? He came in and hindered me in the Black Wolf Camp."
Zhu Yujian's face turned dark immediately. Chang Yu raised his foot and said to Lao Jiu: "Why is there so much nonsense?"
Lao Jiu was unhappy and took Zhu Yujian away: "I've said something ugly before. Don't think that you can get special treatment if you come in through the factory owner's back door. I have a bad temper. I'll scold you and I'll beat you." Next to..."
Seeing Zhu Yujian obediently follow Lao Jiu away, Chang Yu sighed: "The Tang Palace is gone, but the roots are finally left."
"I really can't see anything special about him. It's rare to see how hard it is for the eldest brother to save him." Chunxiang shook his head. Chang Yu smiled and didn't continue, but asked something else casually. He learned that Ma Shiying Behind Fengyang Mansion, his expression changed.
"The rebels invaded the city and made a huge commotion. His dignified governor actually came here to hide for peace." Chang Yu was furious: "Do you think he deserves to die or not?"
"I heard he just arrived in Fengyang the day before yesterday. He said he wanted Lu Zhenfei to mobilize troops..." Chunxiang raised his eyebrows. Chang Yu snorted coldly: "It takes a governor to come here in person to mobilize troops." ? Lu Zhenfei is not like Liu Zeqing...his excuse is just to deceive a young man like you."
Chunxiang scratched his head and smiled: "I didn't come to Fengyang Mansion to check on him. Who cares what he said? To be honest, I had never heard of his name before I came here."
Chang Yu snorted and said nothing. Li Muxian came again from a distance and said from a distance: "Kang Ren said that Wu Sangui and others are catching up. I think they will get here in the evening."
"We're here just in time." Chang Yu hummed and ordered to break camp and rush to Fengyang Mansion.
