Chapter 218 Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque 7
I feel annoyed every day when I see you guys are so helpless. Goodbye!
The news of Murong Xian's disappearance soon spread throughout the world, and everyone knew that the Murong family had come to shame.
Of course, this piece of news was not popular at all in today's bloody world, and it passed after causing a small stir.
Because the East Factory is killing people wantonly to collect the treasure map, everyone in the martial arts world is in danger, and tomorrow the East Factory's knife may chop off their heads. Who has the leisure to pay attention to the shame of the Murong family?
With the last Huashan Sect disciple being found by the Dongchang thugs, Liu Xi has now collected the four mechanism boxes that have been discovered, and is looking for the last box that has not appeared in the world according to the questions on the mechanism boxes he needs to answer.
As for the questions on the box, Liu Xi and his subordinates were so exhausted that they couldn't come up with any answers. They also asked the civil servants who had come to rely on them for help, but they still couldn't solve the problem. In desperation, they simply wrote down the questions and went to Hongye Zhai.
"Eunuch Liu."
Knowing that Liu Xi was coming in person, Old Hongye and Little Hongye were waiting at the gate early.
"No thanks. I'm here to ask you uncle and nephew for help. If you can do it, there will be a big reward!" Liu Xi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "I have got the four incomplete maps in the world, but the whereabouts of the last one is unknown. This is a clue. I can't figure it out. It depends on your ability."
"It is Hongyezhai's honor to serve Eunuch Liu. I will do my best." Old Hongye took the note and was dumbfounded when he opened it.
The first clue is: Which excavator school is the best?
The second clue is: odd changes, even does not change
The third clue is: How many copper coins are equal to one cup of imperial wine minus a big hammer and then a small hammer?
The fourth clue is: How many ways are there to write the word “fennel” in “fennel beans”?
Yu Xian put a lot of thought into designing these four clues, and he did hide the fifth box in that place. It would be easy to find it by integrating these four clues. However, for the people in this world, these clues are more or less beyond the scope.
"Are there any difficulties?" Liu Xi knew the situation was not good when he saw the expressions of Hongye's uncle and nephew.
"Eunuch Liu, my uncle and I have never heard of the information above." Old Hongye told the truth.
"Tell us about it." Liu Xi still didn't give up.
"In the first item, what is the excavator school? The second item seems to be a code and it is impossible to guess. The third item must be related to the price of Palace Jade Liquor and the big hammer and small hammer, but there is really no such thing as Palace Jade Liquor in the palace and it is impossible to calculate; the fourth item, the word "fennel" in fennel beans has undergone too many changes from ancient times to the present, and I think Eunuch Liu can consult the officials of the Hanlin Academy." Old Hongye said what he understood without hiding anything.
"Those corrupt scholars are still arguing over the last clue!" Liu Xi said gritting his teeth.
As a notorious eunuch, when he got the clue, he naturally looked for people in the court first. As a result, a group of nerds failed to grasp the main point and started arguing about the history of the evolution of characters on the spot. What about small seal script and official script? Who the hell asked this!
I had no choice but to come to Lao Hongye in person, but he didn't know that this guy couldn't do anything.
"If you at Hongye Zhai can help me solve the clue and get the last piece of the map, I promise that after we get the treasure of Baidaotang, we can give you 10% of the martial arts secrets and treasures as a reward." Liu Xi felt that as long as the money was enough, solving the clue would be a natural thing.
Lao Hongye had been in the underworld for many years, so naturally he would not believe Liu Xi's promise. The stone toads with their mouths open in the temple pond were more reliable than this dead eunuch, but if he refused after saying this, he would be ungrateful. He could only take the job and solve the clues while thinking of a way to survive.
"I will do my best to help Eunuch Liu solve his doubts." Old Hongye said with his head down.
"My family is busy with affairs, so I will return to Beijing and wait for your good news." After saying this, Liu Xi simply got on the carriage and left.
"Uncle, what... should we do?" Xiao Hongye dared to speak only after watching the carriage go away.
"What else can we do? Let's think about how to solve the clues first!" Old Hongye sighed.
The martial arts world became much quieter as all the treasure maps fell into the hands of the East Depot. It had to be quieter because those restless martial arts forces had been massacred by the East Depot. Only less than half of the so-called twelve major forces were left, not to mention those second- and third-rate sects and gangs who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
This bloody suppression by the East Factory overturned the stereotype of the imperial court in the martial arts world. In the past, everyone thought that the government oppressed the people, while they robbed the rich to help the poor and were on the side of justice.
Now the East Factory is using thousands of lives to tell them that if I take it seriously, the imperial court is the biggest king in this land. No matter how rampant the crabs are, can they be as powerful as the imperial court's troops? I usually don't bother to deal with you bastards, but you really think you are a dish!
Liu Xi also took this opportunity to arrest a bunch of martial arts masters and put them into the East Factory jail. He arranged for Hongye's uncle and nephew to decipher the code and then hurried back to absorb their power.
During this period, there was another blow to the people in the underworld. The righteous Jiang Biehe appeared in the notice posted by the government. He had worked for Liu Xi, the chief eunuch of the East Factory for many years, but he was only good at doing nothing for so long. He was incompetent and even his martial arts skills were abolished. He was now imprisoned in the East Factory prison and his daughter Jiang Yufeng was wanted.
"How is it? After all this trouble from the East Factory, is the world a lot quieter now?"
In addition to urging the two sisters to practice martial arts, Yu Xian also paid great attention to their ideological development.
"Is this Master's purpose?" Jiang Yuyan did not have any good feelings towards these people.
"I just didn't expect the East Factory to be so stupid as to get involved and mess up my plans." Yu Xian's words were full of regret.
"They didn't have to die!" Jiang Yufeng was still very dissatisfied with Yu Xian's actions.
"Then what's the meaning of their lives? Continue to harm the people and plot against their fellow men? I am really disappointed with this world," Yu Xian shook his head.
"Master, why did you call my father Jiang Qin that day near the Jiang family?" Jiang Yuyan had been holding it in for a long time.
"You just remembered it?" Yu Xian took a sip of tea casually.
"I...I've wanted to ask this for a long time." Jiang Yuyan lowered her head again.
"Raise your heads! I am your sisters' master, and it is my duty to answer your questions. So if you have any questions, just ask directly. There is no need to be so shy." Yu Xian said seriously.
"Disciple knows his mistake!" Jiang Yuyan didn't know why this person always had to look up when speaking.
"Back then, there was a pair of close friends in the martial arts world, Yan Nantian and Jiang Feng. They had similar personalities and worked together to fight for justice in the martial arts world. The last time they joined forces was to destroy the Twelve Stars Gang that was causing trouble in the martial arts world, but their ostentatious style of doing things was discovered by the enemy. Then they were ambushed, and during the fight, Jiang Feng was poisoned by rat poison and lost contact with Yan Nantian, fleeing to the vicinity of Yihua Palace." Yu Xian slowly told the story of the past.
"Yihua Palace? Is that the beauty I saw at the mass grave that day?" Jiang Yuyan thought of the noble figure that was out of place in the environment.
"Yes, she is the second palace master of Yihua Palace, and above her is the first palace master Yaoyue. At that time, Yaoyue saved Jiang Feng and spent a lot of money to cure him of the rat poison. This high price was that Yaoyue transferred the rat poison from Jiang Feng's body to her own body, and then the two sisters worked together to cure it. This process took twenty-one days."
"For this reason, the two palace masters needed to go into seclusion. Before that, Palace Master Yao Yue arranged two female disciples to take care of Jiang Feng. But after he woke up, he did one thing. He was bored and flirted with one of the disciples, Hua Yue Nu. The two of them fell in love with each other and finally took advantage of the opportunity when the two palace masters were in seclusion to detoxify and eloped."
"elopement!"
Jiang Yufeng grew up with the South Sea nun, and she, with her traditional ideas, really couldn't accept this. Jiang Yuyan's expression was very interesting, and it seemed that she had brought herself into Huayuenu.
"Yes, they eloped. What's more serious is that Hua Yuenu betrayed the Palace Master and Yihua Palace. The two of them also knew the consequences of this incident and have been hiding from each other. During the time when Hua Yuenu was pregnant and about to give birth, they came to the hometown of Jiang Feng and his servant Jiang Qin, planning to give birth to the child here and then continue to escape." Yu Xian said, looking at the two sisters.
"Then...that Jiang Qin wouldn't..." Jiang Yufeng had a bad feeling in her heart.
