The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 504: Feint to the East and Attack in the West

The Crazy Taoist came to rescue Huo Zixu? Xiao Mubei opened the door and said to Bai Yu, "Go to Ruyun Tower and invite Master Wen. Only he can fight against the Crazy Taoist. Where are the people from Dali Temple?"

Bai Yu said, "Your Highness is still waiting in the flower hall. I will go and invite Master Wen to the Dali Temple now." After saying that, he ran away.

Xiao Mubei turned around and said to Chu Yunxi: "Don't leave the palace. I will go to the Dali Temple to deal with it."

Chu Yunxi was still sitting on the bed. Hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Be careful, wait for Senior Brother to come over, and don't rush into a fight with him."

Xiao Mubei agreed and left in a hurry. Chu Yunxi was a little worried, so she got out of bed, washed up and went to the flower hall to wait for Xiao Mubei. She didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Crazy Taoist priest. No one knows how Huo Zixu won over this person. He is so loyal to him that he dared to go to the Dali Temple to break the prison. He is really a man of great skill and courage.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zi Han shouting outside, "Who is trespassing into Prince Dingbei's mansion?"

Chu Yunxi's heart shuddered, and her hands gripping the back of the chair tightened. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling. She stood up and walked out. Coincidentally, Zi Han had already started fighting with the newcomer with a sword. Chu Yunxi's heart sank. The newcomer had disheveled hair and a tattered Taoist robe. Who else could it be but that crazy Taoist?

It turned out that the person he was really looking for was himself.

Zi Han was no match for the mad Taoist priest. More than a dozen purple-robed guards fell from above and fought with the mad Taoist priest, but most of them were knocked to the ground after just one or two moves. After a short while, the purple-robed guards were lying on the ground. Although they were not dead, they were all seriously injured and could not stand up.

Zi Han was also injured. She stood up and stood in front of Chu Yunxi. She covered her heart and said, "Princess, please leave quickly."

Chu Yunxi sighed. How could she leave now? She patted Zi Han on the shoulder and said, "Go and have a rest. Don't be stubborn."

"Princess..." Zi Han shouted anxiously, pulling Chu Yunxi to stop her from moving forward.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said to Zi Han, "It's okay. Since the Taoist priest took so much trouble to come to me, it means he has something to ask of me, so he led the prince and the others away. He won't do anything to me."

The crazy Taoist laughed and said, "Princess, you really love to joke. I came to you because I have received the favor of Concubine Xian before. I cannot take action against King Dingbei. I have no choice but to let you be my hostage. I must save Huo Zixu, and Muchen, please hand him over as well. Oh, and please wear the Soul-Returning Pearl and come with me."

Chu Yunxi smiled, "I didn't expect that I could get so many things by holding me hostage. Yes, if I were you, I would also choose such a time-saving and labor-saving method."

The crazy Taoist said, "Then please, Princess, don't waste time, let's go."

After saying that, he moved as fast as lightning, and his fingers touched Chu Yunxi's throat. He also stood behind her, pushed her and said, "Hand over Mu Chen and the Soul-Restoring Pearl first."

When Zi Han and the purple-clothed guards saw Chu Yunxi being restrained, their eyes turned red. They desperately climbed up from the ground and wanted to rush over to fight. Chu Yunxi shouted in time: "Don't move, don't follow us, go back and heal your wounds, don't waste your lives."

Zi Han and the others are clearly no match for the Mad Taoist Priest. If they charge forward again, they will only be sending themselves to die. Chu Yunxi doesn't want to see any of the Purple Guards die. The Mad Taoist Priest will use her to exchange for Huo Zixu anyway. Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan should be there by then. She should think of a way to escape from the clutches of the Mad Taoist Priest. It's better to be obedient at the moment.

But how could Zi Han let Chu Yunxi go alone with the crazy Taoist? She followed Chu Yunxi and the crazy Taoist with her sword. Chu Yunxi returned to the bedroom and took the Soul-Returning Pearl. When she got it, she suddenly felt that the pearl seemed to have changed. It seemed not as red as when she first saw it. However, she could not think too much at this time. She handed the Soul-Returning Pearl to the crazy Taoist and said, "Here, the pearl is for you. Where else are you going?"

The Crazy Taoist took the bead, took a look at it, and put it in his arms. It was the first time he saw the Soul-Restoring Bead, and he didn't know the color had faded. He thought it was just like that, and didn't care. He said, "Go find Mu Chen."

Chu Yunxi followed the Crazy Taoist's words, but she pushed his hand and said, "Can you stop keeping your hand on my throat? It's uncomfortable. I don't know martial arts, so how can I escape from your palm? Don't be so nervous."

The crazy Taoist snorted coldly and said, "You'd better not play any tricks."

Chu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "You are such a powerful martial artist, are you afraid of my tricks? If I move my legs, won't you be able to catch me back immediately?"

The crazy Taoist thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He finally took his hand off her throat and placed it on her shoulder. No matter what Chu Yunxi said, he would not compromise. Chu Yunxi had no choice but to let him push her shoulder and walk slowly forward.

When Xiao Mubei arrived at the Dali Temple, Wen Rulan also arrived. He saw that the Dali Temple was full of people lying inside and outside the prison, including jailers and constables, all lying on the ground unable to move. Xiao Mubei looked at a few people and saw that although they were seriously injured, they were not in danger of life. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this crazy Taoist only wanted to save people and had no intention of really hurting anyone.

Fortunately, Chu Yunxi changed her mind yesterday in case someone came to rescue her and put Huo Zixu into the palace's sky prison. Otherwise, the crazy Taoist would have succeeded today.

"Where is the crazy Taoist?" Xiao Mubei asked the constable lying on the ground.

The constable had internal injuries, and his blood was churning and he felt very uncomfortable. When he opened his mouth, blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth. He was bleeding as he spoke, "The man knocked us all down and left. He didn't go to the prison."

Xiao Mubei was shocked, "Didn't go in? Just had a fight with you guys outside?"

The constable nodded. "We...are all very confused. Isn't he here to break out of the prison? Then why doesn't he go in and look for someone?"

Xiao Mubei looked up at Wen Rulan, and they both thought of the same word at the same time: make a feint to the east and attack in the west!

"Could it be that he knew Huo Zixu was no longer in the Dali Temple Prison? But if he had led us here, the guards in the Imperial Palace Prison would not have been reduced, so why would he have done this?"

Wen Rulan's mind raced, his face solemn, he said: "The number of guards in the Heavenly Prison will not decrease, but the number of guards in your Dingbei Palace will definitely decrease, and you will also leave. I'm afraid his target is Dingbei Palace!"
