Yusheng smoke

Chapter 38 Mantis Catching Cicadas

But there is nothing here.

Yu Shengyan's eyelids twitched, and he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen. Yu was the most psychic, and his premonition was accurate, especially when something bad was coming...

It is commonly known as the crow's mouth.

Yu Shengyan lit a piece of talisman paper and drew a few seals in his hand. Soon, several boxes of saltpeter appeared in front of Yu Shengyan.

The name of this technique is Five Ghosts Transporting Technique.

However, this technique is generally used by Taoists with evil intentions to move property.

There was no moon tonight, there were only a few stars in the darkness, and the visibility was very low. Yu Shengyan didn't see anything at first, but when the talisman paper was burned out, his premonition came true.

Suddenly there was a panting that didn't belong to humans, and the back of his neck felt hot, and Yu Shengyan got goosebumps all over his body. He stepped on the ground with his left foot, and leaped forward lightly, but a claw suddenly slashed in the air, and Yu Shengyan Sheng Yan twisted his waist and used his right foot to turn his back and jump far away to the ground.

But it didn't end, the claws quickly caught up, Yu Shengyan covered his mouth and nose, tiptoed and jumped into several boxes of saltpeter to hide.

No one rested, and as expected, Xie Hou did not catch up. It stood for a while and found that there was still no one, so it sat down and rested.

Yu Shengyan's heart was beating violently, why did this guy suddenly appear?

It really looks like a human being, at least from the back, it will give Yu Shengyan the illusion.

Now I must not move, and it will be able to detect its position by moving it. The only way is to wait for the Yin family to come to attract its attention.

It was a big move just now, there are so many servants in the Yin family, one or two should have come to see it, right?

But Yu Shengyan waited for a long time and still didn't see a single figure.

However, Xi Hou finally relaxed his vigilance, sticking out his long tongue and dragging it outside, very disgusting.

There is saltpeter by my side, and there is a match in my cuff, as long as I light the saltpeter and throw it on my tongue, I have a chance to escape...

But in terms of speed, I can't match it at all. As long as I make a little movement, it can definitely pounce on me and bite my throat...

Yu Shengyan looked at the dark backyard door and shivered involuntarily.

What about Huang Banxian?Didn't he encounter it first?Yu Shengyan's heart sank, there was no smell of blood, or even a human scent.

Huang Banxian was lying to himself, he was fine at all, he was trying to deceive himself here... What did he deceive himself into this place?

When I met Xun Hou, there was basically only one consequence, and that was death.

But why did I have such a big grudge against him, that he was so malicious?

"Birds die for food, people die for wealth..." Yu Shengyan suddenly remembered what he had said to himself.

The next sentence is, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows."

He knew that he was using him, so he resorted to tricks, lured Xun Hou out in advance, and then tricked himself to come here... And Yu Shengyan himself can also read the words to save him...

"Look! The monster is here!" Suddenly the flames burst into the sky, and the gate of the backyard was pushed open. A group of house servants holding torches held knives in their right hands and torches in their left hands gathered at the door. The flames dazzled.

"Shoot the arrow!" Huang Banxian shouted standing at the door.

It turned out to be the case.

Yu Shengyan smiled bitterly. Through the light of the fire, he could see layers of sulfur on the ground and charcoal everywhere in the corners of the stones.If you come to rescue him... I will definitely bring saltpeter, and before that, prepare charcoal and sulfur, anyway, the sky is so dark, I can't see it... Then when the time comes, I can use the fire attack to kill Xie Hou and myself. and remove.

At that time, his own jade can be transported by him with the five ghosts. At the same time, the head of the Yin family will also give him a large sum of money to show his gratitude for getting rid of Xie Hou, and he can also make a good reputation around here to help him. cheat.

As expected of an old Jianghu, he really is too immature.

"No! There are people inside! It's...it's Boss Yu, right?" Thanks to their friendship with Ji Chang for many years, these officers and soldiers still have scruples about Yu Shengyan.A sharp-eyed officer and soldier stretched out his hand to signal his companion not to move.

Ji Xi is now the prime minister, if he finds out that his friend died at their hands, he will definitely not let them go.

"Yes! Help me!" The number of people suddenly increased, and Huo Hou was caught off guard excitedly. He stood up and looked at the group of people gathered at the door.Yu Shengyan took the opportunity to shout.

The group of people at the door had never seen such a thing before, and they all got stage fright and couldn't help backing away. As soon as they retreated, Huo Hou became more excited and rushed towards them.

Huang Banxian came prepared. He had a few flints in his hand, which could be ignited with a double click, and he threw them at Xi Hou.

Although there was a loud explosion, Huo Hou still avoided it.

However, it already had a look back in its heart, hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran towards Yu Shengyan.

But if this monster is not eliminated, the consequences will be even more dire.

The leader of the army held the bow tightly in his hand.

While hesitating, Xun Hou had already jumped in front of Yu Shengyan, but Yu Shengyan ducked on his side, but his sleeve was grabbed off.

Yu Shengyan was lucky not to lose his life, but they suddenly had an idea in their hearts.

"Let's say that Boss Yu died at the hands of monsters. Let's work together to destroy the monsters and avenge Boss Yu!"

After the leader shouted these words, he shot the flaming arrow in an instant.

In an instant, flames spread rapidly across the backyard, and they retreated.

There was a loud explosion.

Yu Shengyan's eyes filled with resentment.

The entire backyard was blown to pieces, and some who were running slowly were even swept away by the fire house.

After escaping for a certain distance, they watched the burning Yin family's backyard in silence for a long time.

Basically, Yu Shengyan couldn't live, and it was even a question of whether he could find the body, but that was fine, at least if the prime minister asked about it in the future, he would have something to say.

But Yu Shengyan didn't die, so he wouldn't die. He spent half a year repairing the body, and finally managed to survive as a human body. How could it be over like this?

He is now sitting on a coffin, made of the best nanmu, which has been immortal for decades.

The coffin was in a stone cave, and that was why it was protected from damage.

This is his coffin, in a way, the only thing that really belongs to him.

This is where he was born, where he got his body and finally man.

And now, he's back again, with long, scorched hair and burns all over his body.

One of the ancient techniques in Taoism, the technique of thousands of miles, is the most difficult technique. Yu Shengyan has tried it many times, but every time he comes back here, he thinks this technique is useless, but now he understands.

The so-called falling leaves return to their roots, and it is understandable to travel thousands of miles, because the best ending is to return to the place.

So now, it's time to solve the things that should be solved.

The news that Yin generations in the north of the city were plagued by monsters and killed by Huang Banxian's ingenious plan was spread by the mouths of three aunts and eight women overnight.

The more it spread, the more mysterious it became, and finally it reached Ji Xi's ears.

"The Yin family?" Ji Xi sounded familiar, "Is it the family that bought jade from my younger brother a few days ago? I seem to have heard my younger brother mention it."

"Yes." Brother Xi saw Ji Xi coming, and helped him lead the horse to the manger.

Ji Xi was free today, so he specially came to take Gu Mozhi back to the palace. It is not appropriate for a prince to live in ordinary people's homes for a long time in terms of reputation or safety.What's more, his little emperor brother really missed him.

A few days ago, the imperial dining room brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and the little emperor began to mutter when he saw the lotus seed porridge, "Ninth brother likes this, I have to leave a bowl for him..."

He saw a few court ladies flying kites secretly while there were few people, and immediately sent someone to pull the kite over, "Ninth brother also likes this, I have to keep it for her..."

Not only that, he sat in front of the window when he had nothing to do, and muttered to the osmanthus tree outside the window, "The osmanthus is about to bloom, why hasn't the ninth brother come back? If he doesn't come back, there will be no osmanthus cake to eat!"

When he heard that Yu Shengyan wanted to send Gu Mozhi back, he immediately became happy, "Ninth brother is so clingy, as expected, I am the only one who doesn't despise him... It's very annoying to live in someone's house casually, wait for him to come back Well, you need to talk to him."

Ji Chang looked at the sky, "Today is a hot market, and now it's a good time for the sun to rise and it's still cool, why is my brother still staying in bed and not opening the door for business?"

"I don't know," Brother Xi scratched his hair, "Or, I'm going to wake up my boss?"

Brother Xi had the store key in his hand, he opened the lock, and the two pushed the door open,

Then both of them stared blankly.

There was nothing on the counter where the jade was originally placed, the red thread tied to the jade was torn in a mess, and the bell was shaken all over the floor, obviously it was stolen.

"No, it's not me." Brother Xi was the only person who had the key besides Yu Shengyan, and he was the most suspicious. Seeing Ji Chang turning his head to look at him, he hurriedly "thumped" down on his knees to explain for himself.

"I know, you get up." Ji Chang waved his hand, and let all the elite soldiers waiting outside come in, "Guard the scene for me, post a notice, and make sure to catch the thief!"

But now, what he was most worried about was Yu Shengyan and Gu Mozhi, and he led a pair of them into the backyard.

In the distance, he saw the broken windows and the wide open door, his eyelids twitched, and he almost couldn't stand still, "Your Highness! Brother, are you all right?"

Gu Mozhi was fine, after he was exhausted, he lay back on the bed and waited for Yu Shengyan to come back to comfort him, but the hateful Yu Shengyan didn't come back, so he had to go to sleep by himself.Ji Chang shook him awake, "Your Highness, are you okay, Your Highness...well, Your Highness is fine, what about Yu Shengyan? Where did he go?"

"Ah... what is it?" Gu Mozhi opened his eyes in a daze, saw someone coming, turned his head around and looked around, then woke up immediately, and said with teary eyes, "Where is Yu Shengyan? Did he just sleep overnight?" Weigui... I knew he liked other children... He never let me sleep alone... woo woo woo..."

Ji Chang immediately swore, "Don't worry, Yu Shengyan is definitely not such a person! If he dares to find another child... I will, I will break up with her! Speaking of which, does Your Highness know where he has gone? Otherwise, I will Bring him back?"

After Gu Mozhi finished complaining, Ji Chang already had a clue.

Just last night, someone used a crane to blow up Yu Shengyan's window, so Yu Shengyan chased after him, but he still hasn't come back.

Ji Chang picked up the paper left on the ground, on which Huang Banxian lied to Yu Shengyan: "Xiao Hou came out early, I can't hold on, help me!"

If it follows the creases, it is indeed a paper crane. It is not known how this paper crane, which is not as big as a palm, smashed into the window. Maybe His Highness was sleepy and talking nonsense?

But the words on the paper crane were thoughtful, "Your Highness, do you know who gave this paper crane to Yu Shengyan?"

Gu Mozhi shook his head.

"Then, has Yu Shengyan gotten close to anyone recently?"

"Have!"

"Who?"

"Me!" Gu Mozhi said decisively.

Ji Chang: "...except His Highness?"

"weasel."

Even if Ji Chang was killed, he didn't believe that weasels could write.

"Well, the 'who' refers to people." Ji Chang was really helpless.

"It's the weasel, he's so annoying, and he always wants to steal my things!"

Brother Xi helped him explain, "I don't know if my lord has heard of Huang Banxian? It's that charlatan who has been widely rumored... My boss has gotten very close to him recently."

"Check! By the way, check what's going on with the Yin family!"

A group of people filed out.

Ji Chang was not in a hurry to leave, and asked Brother Xi to clean up the place. He listened to Gu Mozhi talking about how harsh Yu Shengyan was to him...

"He's so stingy, he's not even willing to buy me a candied haws, he just lets me eat apples... My mouth is so pale!"

"He's still stupid, I asked him to sing to lull me to sleep, but he can't sing, hum, tell me ghost stories..."

Ji Chang listened casually while making plans.

Yu Shengyan's kindness to Gu Mozhi is true, what happened last night that made him prefer to leave His Highness behind and chase him out?

Is it because of the words on the note, or did he meet a jade thief and chase him out?

Yu Shengyan once joked that jade has spirituality, and those it doesn’t want to pursue can’t be forced. Even if it’s sold, the result is either death or broken jade. Those who sell jade have to carefully select each piece of jade. Owner.

At that time, he also smiled and said, according to what you said, wouldn't your jade sellers become matchmakers?

I can't find the master's jade, will I come back?

The amount of lost jade is too large, but the clues are all there, so it is not difficult to find out, but it is also easy to say.

"Hey, brother Jichang, are you listening?" Gu Mozhi grumbled.

"Yes, yes!"

Two hours later, a soldier rushed in, "Report, I found news about Boss Yu!"

Gu Mozhi finally stopped talking, and hurriedly asked him, "Where is he? Which kid is he hanging out with? Has he ever thought that there is a cute kid waiting for him to come back?"

He asked too many questions, and Brother Bing was dumbfounded.

Ji Chang interrupted Gu Mozhi, "Your Highness, please don't talk, he can't respond to you asking so many questions... Where is Yu Shengyan? Which family's children are he hanging out with now? Has he ever thought about his family's return?" There is a lovely Highness waiting for him to come back?"

Brother Bing: "..."

The author has something to say:

I swear that Yu Shengyan is fine... If something happens, you can curse my instructor and punish me to stand in a military posture for two hours...

I have been trained to the point of doubting my life... the sun is shining every day!
