Qingtian rescued the two of them. Seeing that the leader was dead, the rest of the bandits did not dare to move. They were about to flee in all directions. Both sides of the alley were guarded by Zangyun and Nafeng. Zang Yun stands proudly at the end of the alley with a sword and cold eyes. Na Feng holds a long stick across his shoulders and smiles. The robbers were shocked and confused. Some wanted to climb over the courtyard wall and escape. Zhaixing sat on the courtyard wall. The iron fan in his hand shot down the two robbers who climbed up the wall. He then took it back and fanned lazily.
"Heroes, spare your life, spare your life." The robbers knew they were facing a tough fight and no longer dared to struggle. They knelt down and kowtowed.
The four gathered the bandits together. Zangyun stared at the two girls and asked: "Two sisters, which one of you knows ventriloquism?"
Xiang Lian'er responded first: "Ventbox? What ventriloquism? I don't know what you are talking about."
Zang Yun stared at Xiang Lian'er for a while, and then stared at He Yue'er. The two women's eyes dodge, and Zang Yun didn't ask further questions. He said, "Your Majesty called me to come and ask you two to return to the capital."
"I'm not going back, I'm going to Nanhuai." Xiang Lian'er took two steps back, then pulled He Yue'er over and said, "Sister Yue'er, come with me!"
Qingtian shook his head: "His Majesty has ordered us to take you two back to the capital. We will take you two back no matter what."
Xiang Lian'er shouted: "If you don't let us go, I will definitely tell Yi Xiaodao when he comes back!"
Seeing that both sides refused to give in, He Yue'er held down Xiang Lian'er and said, "I also know that the elder brothers are acting under orders. This matter is all my fault. I shouldn't have sneaked out of the capital with Xiang Lian'er. How about you and I? When we go back, Xiang Lian'er wants to go to Ling Yue Pavilion in Nanhuai to learn martial arts, why don't we ask a few elder brothers to make it easier?"
Nafeng smiled and interjected: "Go to Lingyue Pavilion to learn skills? What good things can Jianghu sects have for you to learn? Miss Lian'er, do you want to learn stick skills from me? There are various ways to chop, swing, sweep, and pick. It’s so much fun to get up!”
Xiang Lian'er looked at Na Feng, shook her head and said, "If you don't learn, just grab a stick and act like a monkey."
The other three couldn't help laughing when they heard Xiang Lian'er's frank words. Qingtian held the iron gun across his shoulders and imitated Nafeng, and squeaked and screamed, imitating monkey.
"You!" Na Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak. When he saw Qingtian imitating him, he was so angry that he lightly hit Qingtian's chest with a stick.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Zangyun, what do you say about His Majesty's decree?" Zhaixing stopped the two people from fighting and asked Zangyun.
Zangyun said: "Your Majesty indeed has a clear intention to bring Miss He Yue'er back to the capital. Miss Xiang Lian'er... do you want to stop thinking about it?"
Xiang Lian'er shook her head repeatedly: "I won't consider it anymore, I'm going to Nanhuai."
Zangyun nodded and did not force him. He Yueer quickly said: "Brothers, I have something to ask of you."
Everyone was about to tell the escorting robbers to get up when they heard He Yue'er speak and looked back. He Yue'er said: "Although sister Lian'er has some skills, she is not good at martial arts after all. That's why she went to Nanhuai to learn martial arts. Can you please ask some elder brothers to... escort Lian'er for a while... I have some silver coins here, and I am entitled to be a few of them. Hard-earned money..." As he said that, He Yue'er took out the purse at her waist and took out two hundred taels of silver notes.
"Hey, are you still making money from this business trip?" Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he smiled and was about to extend his hand.
The star-catching iron fan lightly tapped Qingtian's outstretched hand: "Have you forgotten all the rules when leaving the palace?"
Qingtian retracted his hand and said with a smile: "Am I not teasing her? Miss Yue'er, put it away. We don't want money."
He Yue'er held two hundred silver notes in her hand and looked timidly at a few people. Finally, she looked at Zang Yun, the person she was most familiar with. Zang Yun smiled and said, "This is a small matter, you don't have to worry."
A few people briefly discussed it, and Nafeng and Zhaixing protected Xiang Lian'er and still went to Nanhuai, while Qingtian and Zang Yun escorted a group of bandits and protected He Yue'er back to the capital.
Before parting, He Yue'er looked at Xiang Lian'er, her eyes slightly red, and said, "Sister Lian'er, I can't go with you. You have to take good care of yourself."
Xiang Lian'er hugged He Yue'er and said with a smile: "The Master Liu of Ling Yue Pavilion said that I have good bones and am suitable for martial arts training. I will be back soon. But first, let's agree that you and Yi Xiaodao are not allowed to get married! Even so! If you want to get married, you have to wait for me to come back, or send me a letter, and I will definitely be back!"
He Yue'er's cheeks turned red, and the sadness just now was swept away. She glared at Xiang Lian'er and lowered her voice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiao Nizi! There is still someone here!"
Zangyun and others are all martial arts practitioners, so they naturally heard their words, but at this time they pretended to look around and didn't hear them.
Soon, without wasting any time, everyone divided their troops into two groups and headed towards the capital and Nanhuai respectively.
Zangyun glanced at Qingtian. Qingtian knew that Zangyun had something to ask He Yue'er, so he walked a few steps quickly, escorted the robber, walked two steps quickly, and distanced himself from the two of them.
Zangyun asked: "Miss Yue'er, if I guess correctly, you were the one who performed the two ventriloquists, right?"
He Yue'er kept silent and just walked with her head buried in her head. Zang Yun continued: "There's nothing wrong with this. It's a skill that can be used by oneself. It can also come in handy at critical moments. I dare to ask, who else knows that you can ventriloquist?"
Seeing that Zang Yun had no intention of blaming him, He Yue'er replied: "No one knows, and I haven't dealt with anyone else. Only my father, my mother, Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er know."
Zangyun nodded: "Well, that's good. Don't tell others, and don't use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Your ventriloquism imitation is so vivid that even I was concealed twice. If anyone knows about it, , I’m afraid it’s dangerous.”
He Yue'er replied obediently: "Okay, I will remember it."
Silently all the way, the two men escorted the robbers to Zhencheng and handed them over to the Zhencheng County Magistrate. Soon, they protected He Yue'er and returned to the capital. Seeing that He Yue'er had safely returned to the house, the two of them ordered the police officers patrolling the streets to pay attention and hurried back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, we have recovered He Yue'er." Zangyun and Qingtian came to the imperial study room and reported to Zhao Yizhi.
Zhao Yizhi nodded: "Well, just get it back." Now Zhao Yizhi's consciousness has no problem covering the capital, but outside the capital, it is difficult to cover it, not even a step can be done. Zhao Yizhi has tried that his spiritual consciousness can only extend in one direction. With daily practice, the distance that his spiritual consciousness can extend is increasing day by day. If it only extends in one direction, the cities around the capital can also be faintly touched. Zhao Yizhi knew every movement in the capital. From the moment the three of them returned to the capital, Zhao Yizhi knew about it. At this time, the two men came back to report, which was just a formality for Zhao Yizhi.
"Your Majesty, He Yue'er has extraordinary abilities. She...can do ventriloquism." Zang Yun reported back the information he found to Zhao Yizhi.
Zhao Yizhi waved his hand: "Yes, I understand. Remember, don't tell anyone except Chen Congwei."
The two of them left in response and left the imperial study. Qingtian winked at Zangyun and said, "Don't even tell them. I'll invite Miss Yue'er later and imitate His Majesty's voice. I'll scare them to death! Hahahaha..."
Zangyun paled at him and ignored him.
Zhao Yizhi leaned on the dragon chair and put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little troubled. It's not about other things, but for the Shenji Sect.
While in Wucheng, Zhao Yizhi came into contact with Xue Mang, the hexagram master of the Shenji Sect. That was the closest Zhao Yizhi came to death to this world. Later, I learned about the origin of the Shenji Sect, and I knew that I couldn't blame them. It was just that such a secret force was always monitoring me, which really made me sleepless. I wanted to recruit Chen Song when I returned to Beijing, and wanted to inquire about him. Unexpectedly, the old lady committed suicide in the Ancestral Temple.
Zhao Yizhi lost the clue and had to rely on his spiritual consciousness. He searched the entire capital day and night. After searching for a while, the Shenji Sect could not find it, but they solved several unsolved cases in the capital...
"Shenji Sect...Shenji Sect..." Zhao Yizhi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little confused. Such a huge sect could even influence the life and death of the emperor. How could it be that with the death of the old master, it was like disappearing from the world...
Suddenly, Zhao Yizhi had a thought in his mind and shouted: "Here comes someone! Get ready! I'm going to the Penal Department Prison!"
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is dark and damp, and each individual cell is smelly. This is when His Majesty Daqi came, and the guards in the prison specially cleaned up the prison. Zhao Yizhi really couldn't imagine how unpleasant the smell must be on weekdays.
Zhao Yizhi believed that he wanted to be a good emperor who was close to the people and kind, but he was also afraid that others would think that he was arrogant and extravagant. So he held his breath and walked in. He couldn't go far. Zhao Yizhi couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly called him. Qingtian carried himself out.
"Hu Lishan, come out and greet His Majesty!" the jailer shouted to Hu Lishan, who was lying on the straw mat in the cell.
Hu Lishan got up with a somersault and shouted: "I thought His Majesty had forgotten me! I did a good job in informing His Majesty last time, why didn't you let me out?"
The jailer smiled and said, "Oh, this cell smells sour and unbearable to others, but to you, it's just like your own home. Can you still be willing to leave if I ask you to leave?"
Hu Lishan rolled his eyes at the jailer, but did not argue. The little old man put his hands behind his back and walked slowly: "Oh, let's see the light of day again."
Zhao Yizhi sat in the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment. The newly appointed prison director of the Ministry of Punishment personally served tea to Zhao Yizhi. Officials of all sizes were accompanying him, serving him carefully.
"You guys can go down, Qingtian and Jiahai can stay here." Zhao Yizhi understood that the officials wanted to show off in front of him in order to achieve success, but Zhao Yizhi really had no intention of asking other people, and the Shenji faction If the matter is not resolved, Zhao Yizhi still feels unsure.
Soon, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment retreated. Everyone knew that the two young men holding iron guns behind Zhao Yizhi were Chen Congwei. Although they had never seen them take action, no one would question whether they could guarantee the victory. His Majesty's safety.
Hu Lishan was brought to the lobby. When he saw Zhao Yizhi, Hu Lishan did not dare to pretend anymore. The young man sitting in the hall could theoretically decide the life and death of anyone in Daqi. Hu Lishan knelt down obediently and kowtowed: "Hu Lishan, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty and wishes His Majesty long live..."
"Okay, don't bother. Hu Lishan, I want to ask you something, and you have to explain it clearly to me!" Zhao Yizhi stopped Hu Lishan.
Hu Lishan replied: "The common people tell us everything they know."
Zhao Yizhi did not mince words and asked directly: "Hu Lishan, do you know about the Shenji Sect?"
Hu Lishan raised his head and replied calmly: "I know, I've already run away."
"Run away? What do you mean by running away? Who ran away?" Zhao Yizhi couldn't help but stand up and asked.
Hu Lishan was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said tremblingly: "The Shenji Sect... have all run away, and there is only one leader left... The entire Shenji Sect has moved to Donglu..."
"There is one leader left? Who is the leader!" Zhao Yizhi asked without missing any detail.
Hu Lishan pointed outside and said, "Xuanwu Street...that...Jin Butcher, that's it."
