Cannon fodder beauty master awakens

Chapter 67

At first, Jiang Yi only saw the deep passageway behind the Bodhisattva statue, and then a person staggered out of the passageway's opening.

He didn't even think about it, before the man could react, he put the blade on his neck and said in a low voice, "Don't move..."

The man was about to resist, but when he heard his voice, he suddenly stopped moving, and tentatively asked cautiously: "Master, Master?"

Jiang Yi froze for a moment, and slowly moved the knife away from his neck.

The man looked up, the candlelight illuminating his face.

Pei Xiangyun rolled in some quagmire again, and appeared in front of him again with a disheveled face.

"Why did you come out here?" Jiang Yi whispered, "Didn't you be asked to check that cave?"

Pei Xiangyun didn't expect to meet him here, and before he could be happy, his eyes fell on his hand holding the blade: "Master, why do you hold the knife with your left hand?"

Jiang Yi's fingertips froze, and he said nonchalantly, "I'm asking you something, how did you get out of here?"

However, Pei Xiangyun pursed his lips and said nothing, clasped his wrist and raised his right arm. Looking at the blood stained on the cuff, his voice trembled a little more imperceptibly: "Who hurt you?"

"I……"

"Who hurt you?" Pei Xiangyun interrupted him, his voice almost growling, "I'll kill him."

Jiang Yi frowned: "Why are you crazy?"

"Master, who hurt you?"

There was scarlet in his eyes, and the strength in his hands grew stronger.Jiang Yi snorted in pain, his face a little ugly.

Only then did Pei Xiangyun realize that he was out of control, most of the blood in his eyes faded, and he let go of the teacher's hand a little helplessly: "I, I don't know what happened just now, I didn't mean it..."

Jiang Yi felt that his wrist bones were about to be crushed by this evil disciple.

He gently rubbed the place where he was hurt just now, and said coldly: "Bastard..."

Pei Xiangyun knew he was wrong, so he lowered his head and let him scold him.

Jiang Yi was really exhausted, so he grabbed a chair that survived the scuffle and sat down next to him: "What did you find?"

Pei Xiangyun's eyes were glued to him all the time, as if he was very unwilling to move away: "Jiang Shuci and I went back to the cave on the cliff together, and found that the backside was not a solid stone wall, but divided into three forked roads."

"Three?"

Jiang Yi glanced at the locked door and asked, "Where do they all lead?"

"We only investigated two of them..." Pei Xiangyun said, "One of them leads to a dark room, and Jiang Shuci's master was locked in there, and there was another person locked with him."

Jiang Yi nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

It seemed that this discovery was so shocking, Pei Xiangyun's expression fluctuated slightly: "That person looks exactly like Mu Hongcai."

Looks exactly like Mu Hongcai?

Jiang Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, realizing that all these unusual signs might be matched.

The county magistrate of Chengdeng County was almost replaced by a civet cat.

"Master, I don't understand why he looks exactly like Mu Hongcai..." Pei Xiangyun said hurriedly, "Did you see Mu Hongcai today?"

Jiang Yi snorted lightly, "So you're stupid."

Pei Xiangyun slapped the word "stupid" inexplicably, and he was a little confused.

Jiang Yi didn't bother to explain to him, so he raised his chin: "Continue..."

"Then Jiang Shuci and I took the two of them back the same way, only to find that their health is too poor to go down the vine we climbed up."

Pei Xiangyun glanced at him quietly: "We simply took another secret passage, and came here. I just found a knob behind the wall, and when it is turned, it will make a "click, click" sound, and the wall will follow. The organ moves, leading to this room. "

He paused, unable to hide the worry in his eyes: "Master, is your injury really all right?"

Jiang Yi ignored his words, and tilted his head towards the Nausi woman who fell on the ground: "Look at her, do you know her?"

Pei Xiangyun straightened the woman's head according to his words, and after looking at it for a moment, he said in a low voice: "I don't know, are you from Usi?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yi looked down at the person squatting beside him, "Mu Hongcai arranged for me to be an assassin."

Still an assassin who has made two-handed preparations.

Pei Xiangyun's eyes turned cold, and when he was about to speak, the movements of his hands stopped suddenly: "Master, is she dead?"

Jiang Yi frowned: "Dead?"

He had clearly restrained his strength just now, because he was afraid that something might happen to the assassin and he would not be able to speak.

Pei Xiangyun put his fingertips in front of her nose for a while, and said with certainty: "I'm out of breath..."

After he finished speaking, he was about to get up when he saw the assassin's eyelids seem to move.

The intuition almost engraved in his bones immediately issued a warning. Without thinking about it, Pei Xiangyun directly protected the people around him in his arms, and stared closely at the assassin's eyes.

A slender black figure emerged from the assassin's eye socket, raised its head tentatively, as if looking for a second place around it that could accommodate it.

Pei Xiangyun opened his eyes wide, and suddenly felt that everything in front of him was very familiar.

In that snowy night in Longxi, such worms appeared in the eyes of the dead wild boar.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead almost instantly, when the Gu worm tentatively crawled to the ground, he stretched out his legs and crushed the worm to death.

Jiang Yi was caught off guard by his hug: "What are you doing?"

"Master, a Gu worm crawled out of the assassin's eye socket..." Pei Xiangyun whispered, "I...I trampled that worm to death."

Just as Jiang Yi was about to say something, he realized that the wolf cub seemed to be hugging him and trembling.

"Are you shaking?" he asked. "Are you afraid?"

Pei Xiangyun licked his lips, his voice was a little hoarse: "No..."

How could you not be afraid.

He inevitably thought of the Gu worm that got into his arm again.

If one day he also dies, will the Gu worm crawl out of his eye socket?

Will he do something to those closest to him because he is controlled by a Gu worm?

Pei Xiangyun didn't dare to think too much, almost as soon as he thought about it, fear filled every corner of his mind like a monster.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Jiang Yi patted his arm with a rare tenderness in his tone: "If you step on him, you will step on him. Let me go. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Pei Xiangyun let go of his hand slowly, looking a little lost.

"You were halfway through what you said just now..." Jiang Yi changed the subject, "Where are the two people Jiang Shuci and you saved?"

Pei Xiangyun seemed to have finally come to his senses, and said in a low voice, "I let them wait in the tunnel, and come out after I'm sure there's no danger."

Jiang Yi supported the table and stood up: "Take me to see them, I have something to ask Namu County Magistrate."

Let's call the county magistrate Mu who locked him here a "fake" county magistrate. The calculations of this fake county magistrate are self-evident.

Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and they drank again. If nothing happens, I feel sorry for those who wrote the script.

The moves can be described as old and clichéd.

Jiang Yi sneered secretly in his heart, the fake county magistrate had evil intentions but no brains, he never expected that his scheme would be seen through at a glance.

Since he had this idea, he probably wouldn't open the door until the next day, so why not find another way out by himself now.

Just as Pei Xiangyun was about to help him, someone pushed his hand away.

"Put her on your back..." Jiang Yi pointed to the corpse lying on the ground, "In case he comes to frame me for murder the next day."

Pei Xiangyun paused, as if he was a little reluctant.

It was probably frightened by that Gu worm.

Jiang Yi frowned impatiently: "Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to teach you how to carry people?"

Pei Xiangyun lowered his eyes, knelt down and slowly carried the Naus woman on his back.

Jiang Yi led the way into the corridor behind the Bodhisattva statue, but before he had walked a few steps, he heard hurried footsteps coming from ahead.

He stood still, the blade slipped from his sleeve to his palm, and squinted to see the swaying light getting closer.

Holding a torch in his hand, Jiang Shuci ran over from the other end of the corridor with disheveled hair. When he saw Jiang Yi, he suddenly slowed down and stabilized his figure not far from him.

Perhaps it was because such a vicious person as Pei Xiangyun was obedient like a dog in front of Jiang Yi, but he was more afraid of this good-looking man in front of him.

Jiang Shuci stammered, "First, sir."

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why are you running so fast? Didn't Pei Xiangyun ask you to wait for him in the corridor?"

"I found something extraordinary, and I want to come and tell Brother Pei soon." Jiang Shuci managed to hold his breath, and his tone was a little anxious.

Brother Pei...

Jiang Yi glanced lightly at the person standing beside him, his eyes full of meaning.

The day before, I hated seeing each other, but now it is Brother Pei.

Pei Xiangyun avoided his gaze uncomfortably, and asked, "What did you find?"

"This corridor diverges into another fork..." Jiang Shuci gestured to the two of them, "I always felt that it was inappropriate to place the teacher in the corridor, so I was looking for the third one in the cave. Is it possible that the secret passage leads to the outside of the county magistrate's mansion, but I didn't expect that there is a fork in the passage."

After hearing his words, Jiang Yi thought of a word——

The three caves of the cunning rabbit...

Jiang Shuci continued in a low voice: "I carried the teacher on my back and walked into the forked road. When I got to the end of the road, I found a knob on the wall. I tried to turn the knob, and the wall opened inward. There was a study room inside, and I looked like the county magistrate's study room, so I hurried back to the corridor with my teacher on my back, and restored the wall to its original place."

Jiang Yi stroked the blade of the knife slowly, and said after a while, "Tell me the route to the study."

Jiang Shuci was shocked: "But that's the county magistrate's study!"

"It's okay..." Jiang Yi whispered, "Tell me..."

He had no choice but to go to this Hongmen banquet tonight, trying to trick out the fake magistrate's flaws, making the other party leave the banquet in a rage, leaving himself in the same room with the Wusi assassin, and he would not let it go until he grasped his position.

And even if he had the handle, he still couldn't ignore the fact that Jiang Yi might have figured out his identity. The first choice was naturally to get in touch with the person behind the scenes, and then transfer all the evidence against him.

Jiang Yi is now worried about two things.

One is that the fake county magistrate transferred the evidence, and the other is that the people behind the scenes felt that the pawn was not safe and silenced him in advance.

Fortunately, he had already arranged the matter with Li Youchuan properly before he came, so it could be regarded as a way out.

Jiang Shuci thinks this person is probably crazy.

"Sir, why don't we go back and have a long-term plan..." He whispered, "This is really too dangerous."

"That's too late."

The fake county magistrate dared to invite him to a banquet today, because he was fully prepared.Cheng dragged Jiang Yi into the water, and was coerced into boarding the same pirate ship with them.

It is very possible to lose your mouth or run away overnight.In case Jiang Yi was about to leave tomorrow after resting, all their preparations would be in vain.

This is clearly forcing him to take on "them" for the first time.

Jiang Yi said softly: "I have my own arrangements. You can take your teacher with you. Protect the Mu Hongcai you found, he is very important."

"I……"

Jiang Shuci bit his lip, as if he wanted to persuade him again, but he hesitated for a while, and finally turned his head and left.

The two walked towards the location pointed by Jiang Shuci in silence for a while, and Jiang Yi suddenly said, "Pei Xiangyun..."

Pei Xiangyun hadn't heard him call his name so calmly for a long time, and subconsciously let out a "huh".

"Aren't you going to ask what arrangement I made?"

"Don't ask..." Pei Xiangyun said, "Master must have his reasons for whatever he does."

"Is it?"

Jiang Yi's voice was very low, as if he smiled slightly: "If I say that I am only [-]% sure of the success of this plan, what about the remaining [-]% possibility of dying quietly in Chengdeng County?"

Pei Xiangyun licked his lips, but did not answer.

"It's still too late for you to regret..." His teacher said softly, "Turn around and leave now, you don't have to accompany me to die. You will be free after I die. Isn't this a good choice?"

"Master."

Emotions surged in Pei Xiangyun's eyes, and his voice was frighteningly low: "I said, I will do anything for you, and I will do anything with you."

"Really?"

Jiang Yi stood still in front of the knob, put his hand on it, and turned it slightly to the side.

Amidst the "click" sound of the mechanism turning, Pei Xiangyun heard the man say: "I thought you would be very happy if I died."

How could he be happy?

After the death of his teacher in his previous life, he was as confused as a wandering soul that was not tolerated by the world. He was stunned for ten years.

If there is really a sudden change tonight, even if they die together...

Naturally, the best ending in the worst case.
