Chapter 65: Alchemist

Xu Xiao ran away and ran away, and even took the guqin in the room. In his words, "Even if there is no place to play it, it is very good to smash people with it."

Only then did everyone know that Master Xu also had some research on musical instruments.

Lu Ling really wanted to leave, the space-time channel was opened, he only had time to wave his hand at the alley, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wu Shijiu was stunned in that direction for a long time, but she suddenly turned to Qin Ce.

"Executive Qin, is it very dangerous to steal from the Supervision Bureau?"

"Well." Qin Ce closed his eyes, obviously helpless, "But this matter can only be handled by Lu Ling. If it's not that I have no choice, I don't want to."

"Then he... does he have that ability?"

"He's the current warden." Qin Ce said, "I don't compare him to anyone else, just on his own, his talent and strength are enough - maybe only you will see him as a bastard. "

Wu Shijiu was at a loss for words, she thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

In fact, I have to admit that Lu Ling is indeed not weak, but she is usually busy with quarrels, so she forgot about this kind of thing.

Wish...

May he succeed.

After one person left, the remaining four had to move on, looking for Chang Su and Guanyue Ayako, who had not returned to the team.

In Cui'an Pavilion, the bodies of the Fifth Prince and the Boss's wife will be discovered soon, and it is impossible to hide this.

What they have to do now is to find a place to hide, or, to prepare to be tough with the officers and soldiers.

Ling Chengmu looked at Qin Ce's watch and carefully studied the map.

"Would you like to temporarily evacuate the city and go to Mingyang River in the south?"

The Mingyang River is surrounded by trees on three sides, and the terrain is more tortuous and rugged. It is easier to hide there than in the city.

Qin Ce agreed: "I listen to your arrangement."

"Then go."

Action faction has always been a clear goal, every minute counts, and no time is lost when it comes to where to go.

In this way, Qin Ce led Xu Xiao, Ling Chengmu led Wu Shijiu, hurried on the road, and finally arrived near Mingyang River before evening.

As the sun sets in the west, the sunset will dye the river surface into colorful colors, sparkling.

The wind blew through the woods, and there was a faint sound of crows.

The shadows of the four of them were reflected on the gravel beach, and they seemed to be wandering around the world, and they seemed inexplicably desolate and desolate.

Wu Shijiu looked at the river from a distance, and after a while, he spoke in confusion.

"Is it an illusion? Our horse is tied over there. Why do I still hear the sound of hoofs?"

"It's not an illusion." Ling Chengmu said, "There is indeed someone here."

I just don't know, where is the sacred place that came this time.

The four of them hid in the nearest woods, found the right angle, and could see a group of people appearing from a distance.

The group of people collectively wore exotic clothes that were as wide as sacks, with disheveled hair, and they all held weapons similar to tambourines, or in other words, instruments.

Although there is no reliable evidence, it can be guessed that 80% of them are alchemists living in groups around the Mingyang River.

Xu Xiao said softly, "They seem to be looking for someone."

"Who?"

"That's not clear, maybe..."

"it's me."

There was a familiar, gentle female voice with an accent, which came from overhead.

Ling Chengmu raised her head sharply, and the blind stick almost swung past, but luckily she could see who the other party was in the next second.

"...Ayako?"

Guanyue Ayako was holding on to the tree trunk on all fours at the moment, and did not dare to move, she responded cautiously.

"Yo Gada, is he really the captain? I hesitated for a long time just now and didn't dare to call you."

It is conceivable that she was holding her breath, clearly standing on the tree next to her, and even Ling Chengmu and Qin Ce, who were always alert, didn't notice.

The desire to survive makes a person's potential explode.

Ling Chengmu stretched out her hand, Guanyue Lingzi slipped down the tree trunk, and finally threw herself into the arms of her captain.

"Thank you!"

Wu Shijiu was surprised and happy: "Sister Lingzi, why are you here?"

Xu Xiao glanced at the tambourine in Guanyue Lingzi's hand and seemed to understand: " Lingzi is also an alchemist?"

Guanyue Lingzi added: "I don't have any skills, and I was put on a cauldron, alchemist."

She made a gesture of putting the pot on her head.

The word "behind the pot" was also learned from Jin Xia not long ago.

"So... the alchemist over there is here to chase you?"

"Yes, my luck is very bad." Guanyue Ayako tried her best to say, "They fought internally, vying to be the leader, their subordinates betrayed, and poisoned the current leader to death. I happened to pass by and said it was me, and they wanted to kill me. Silence."

"That's too bad." Xu Xiao asked casually, "But there's no need to mobilize people like this. You've absconded in fear of the crime, so they'll take it as a crime, and they have to hunt you down in the middle of the night?"

Guanyue Ayako touched it for a long time, and finally found a pamphlet the size of a palm from her wide pocket.

"Because before I left, I searched for a room and took away the alchemy secrets of the dead leader."

This book "The Realm of Alchemy", like Wu Shijiu's "Red Lotus Classic", has appeared in the background of the characters.

Qin Ce looked into the distance with cold eyes, and said to Ling Chengmu after a long while, "They are here."

"Then let's go deep into the woods." Ling Chengmu made a decisive decision, "Where the light is dark, it is easier to kill people."

"Okay."…

The afterglow of the setting sun was slow and silent, the cold moon was hidden behind the clouds, and night fell.

The group of alchemists rode their horses into the woods, listening to them discussing with each other.

"She can't run far, so she should be hiding around here."

"Two horses tied by the river, and maybe there are other people in the woods."

"Find them separately, no matter who they are, they will never leave alive."

The fallen leaves covered the ground, making a rustling sound when you stepped on it.

They gradually approached the hidden place of the quintet.

Ling Chengmu's figure was as fast as a ghost in the night, and under the mottled moonlight, I saw her shadow flash, and the next moment she appeared behind an alchemist.

The blind stick was placed across the opponent's neck, and the icy blade cut the throat. She quickly pushed the person to the side, and the warm blood splashed on the tree trunk, without a drop of it touching her clothes.

She is like a real killer.

An alchemist at the back discovered her existence. Unexpectedly, just after saying hello to his companion, Qin Ce, who jumped from the top of the tree, hit the Tianling Gai with a swing of his stick, and his skull was ruptured on the spot.

Qin Ce backhanded another alchemist who wanted to sneak attack on him to the ground, punched the opponent's throat, and then snapped his neck back.

He got up and strode toward Ling Chengmu.

At the same time, the other teammates were not idle either.

Wu Shijiu tugged at a low branch with both hands, and with the help of the inertia of the speed shoes, he swung his whole body, and suddenly kicked an alchemist several meters away.

Xu Xiao cooperated with her, swung the valuable guqin, and slapped the opponent on the back of the head to complete the repair.

"Wow, Brother Xu, your piano is really strong!"

"I feel so too."

Guanyue Ayako brought out the five-character mantra of "cramming Buddha's feet temporarily" to the fullest. She was flipping through the book "The Realm of Alchemy" and planned to learn and use it now.

"Nani? This...@%¥@¥&*¥@@ (a series of spells), the flames call!"

Sure enough, the bell rang, and a cluster of firelight escaped from the gap in the tambourine in her hand, instantly obscuring the sight of the alchemist not far away.

...but it's just lost in sight, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't itch, and it doesn't burn people.

The alchemist snorted coldly, his fingers fluttered and beat the tambourine continuously, only to see raging flames everywhere, with an aura that would burn down the entire forest.

The so-called alchemy, in fact, is not much different from the illusion.

Even if she knew it was fake, Guanyue Ayako took a step back before she could react.

The alchemist appeared from the firelight, pulled out a short knife from the tambourine, and took it straight to her heart.

However, Ling Chengmu's rescue speed was much faster than his.

She was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and she turned around and landed firmly in front of Guanyue Lingzi, her left hand stopped the short knife, her right hand went straight through the firelight, and slid the tip of the blind stick through the alchemist's carotid artery.

The smell of blood was strong, she closed the knife and turned around, holding Guanyue Ayako by the collar, and dragged her away from the spot without turning her head.

"Captain, ah... Arigado."

"Well, let's put it aside before learning, and then learn to operate it in actual combat, don't put yourself in it."

"Wow gal hehe!"

After half an hour.

The battle is basically over.

The other three were resting on the side, Ling Chengmu and Qin Ce used the moonlight to patrol the venue and searched the fallen corpses one by one.

Then Ling Chengmu waved his hand and led another horse whose leg was not cut off. Five people and three horses retreated from the scene of the crime and headed to the other side of the Mingyang River.

That's right, Xu Xiao can also ride horses, and there are no small skills that Master Xu can't.

On the way, Qin Ce caught two rabbits that had gone astray, held them in his hands, and prepared to give everyone a supper later.

Wu Shijiu: "How can Executive Qin eat rabbits?"

"You can skip it."

"No, you still have to eat."…

On the riverside, in the open space outside the woods, Xu Xiao lit a fire, and then used a branch to cut a barbecue stick, and strung the shaved rabbit barbecue.

Qin Ce inadvertently turned his head to the side, and found that Ling Chengmu's left palm had a cut in the palm of his hand, and the bloodstain was particularly obvious against the firelight.

He frowned: "How did you do it?"

"Huh? Oh." Ling Chengmu glanced down and didn't care, "I was careless just now."

It was to help Guanyue Ayako stop the knife, but she was accidentally scratched by the blade.

"Sister Cheng hurts her hand? By the way, I still have trauma medicine here!" Wu Shijiu quickly took out a small white porcelain medicine bottle, "What is it called Xuanjin Powder, it's the most expensive one in that drugstore. ."

She bought this with Lu Ling at the time, and there was a small piece of ginseng. After all, his arm was seriously injured and needed to be supplemented.

As a result, it was too late, and he returned to the Time and Space Supervision Bureau.

Ugh.

She sighed for no reason.

Guanyue Lingzi asked with concern: "What's the matter, Jiujiujiang, are you in a bad mood? I didn't pay attention, where is Warden Lu?"

"He's back at the bureau with something."

"Ah? Will you come back?"

"I don't know, maybe."

The two were relatively silent.

After a long time, I heard Kanyue Ayako say softly again.

"We'll meet again."

This sentence seems to comfort Wu Shijiu and persuade himself.

And Xu Xiao sat by the fire, flipping and roasting the two rabbits.

His habitually smiling eyes were shining brightly in the flickering firelight, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qin Ce wiped the wound on Ling Chengmu's hand with a clean soft cloth dipped in water, then opened the medicine bottle, sprinkled the medicine powder lightly, and massaged her with her fingertips to absorb it.

He lowered his eyes, his expression focused, so focused that Ling Chengmu thought he had suffered some terrible damage.

She said speechlessly: "It's not so serious, this little hole should be scabbed later, I'm not a squeamish little girl."

"How many years are you older than Failed?" Qin Ce looked up at her calmly, "You are not squeamish, but you are indeed a little girl."

"…"

She was silent for a long time, and finally the corners of her lips curled up, and she didn't speak any more.

Hearing Wu Shijiu ask: "Sister Orange, Executive Qin, where are we going next?"

Ling Chengmu took out the token in his pocket and looked at it intently.

The token was found from the corpse of an alchemist before. It was made of gold inlaid jade with complicated carvings, and the word "Yao" was engraved in the middle.

She exchanged glances with Qin Ce: "This must be something from the palace, right?"

"It's very possible." Qin Ce pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Guanyue Lingzi, "You don't understand the internal chaos of the alchemist, what is the root cause?"

Guanyue Ayako seriously recalled: "Ah, it seems to be related to the emperor's diet."

"Um?"

"I didn't hear the specifics. I just listened to what they said about 'dog emperor', 'Jiang eel eats dates and pigs', 'don't eat food'... Maybe it's because of poor appetite."

Qin Ce was silent.

"Sooner or later, the country will change hands, and you don't know the current affairs?"

"...Souga!"

"That is related to the regime." Ling Chengmu pondered, and analyzed a relatively reasonable explanation, "There are two factions within the alchemist, one of which colluded with the forces in the DPRK and wanted to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, the former leader must not Agreed, so I was killed."

Qin Ce said: "This token is a token of their mutual connection."

"This is equivalent to the explosion of props in the game, it will not be useless, we have to go to the palace to explore."

Wu Shijiu was curious: "Explore what?"

"It is good to find out whether it is good to kill the emperor or to keep the emperor."

"Such a difficult thing, sister, you said it too simply? Can't we just hide it honestly?"

Ling Chengmu sneered: "I want to hide, is the system mechanism allowed? Even if we don't act, the system will find a way to force us out."

In the five days in this division, they can't easily get through one day.

The number of current survivors on the watch has never stopped decreasing.

The night was deeper.
