Chapter 367: Living together, dying together
Fu Mo nodded: "Ninety percent sure."
"I once went to siege the people of Jueming Palace. Their martial arts were very despicable. How should I put it? They always like to attack people's lower three points. This kind of move is despised by the righteous martial arts world."
"Their moves are also very brutal, the kind that kill with every blow. It's obvious that they've killed a lot of people."
This is indeed very useful news.
Xie Yingmian immediately went to find Yu Lingye.
Zang Song was reporting something to Yu Lingye. When he saw Xie Yingmian come in, he consciously left.
Yu Lingye said, "You came at the right time. I was just about to look for you."
"Zang Song sent many letters to Jueming Palace, but Lu Jiuyuan didn't reply to any of them."
"He doesn't want to see me."
"What a coincidence." Xie Yingmian said, "I came to you for this matter as well."
"Fu Mo told me that the Liu family's guards who are guarding the wildlings might be from the Jueming Palace. I have a way to get Lu Jiuyuan to meet us."
Yu Lingye frowned: "Are you going to reveal your identity?"
Xie Yingmian: "Isn't this the simplest and most effective method?"
Xie Yingmian wrote a letter and asked Fu Mo to take it to the Liu family and have the guards pass it to the Palace Master of Jueming Palace. She then said to Fu Mo, "Stay at the Liu family for a while. You should have news soon."
Day 3.
Fu Mo rushed in: "Princess, I have replied."
"The guard gave it to me, saying it was a reply from their Palace Master, and asked me to personally deliver it to you."
Xie Yingmian opened the letter.
There was only one address on the letter.
Xie Yingmian was not unfamiliar with that address.
A teahouse at the pier in Hedu District.
This teahouse is not far from the affordable medical clinic and the Nightingale headquarters.
The Hedu District Wharf is currently under the control of Nightingale and is usually managed by Cao Hu and his son Cao Meng.
After the demise of the Goshawk Gang, the dock was no longer plagued by the Goshawk Gang. The people's lives became much better than before, and the dock was also much more prosperous than before.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye arrived at the teahouse at the agreed time.
There were no customers in the teahouse, only a lame old man wiping the table.
Seeing Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye coming in, the old man hurried over to greet them.
Xie Yingmian took out a silver ingot and said, "Sir, please serve us two bowls of tea."
The old man looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, our shop only has some coarse tea. I'm afraid it won't suit your taste."
"Old man, you're joking. A great hermit living in seclusion in the city. I could smell the fragrance of tea from far away." Xie Yingmian said with a smile, "The tea you brew is the best in the area. We came here because of your reputation."
The old man was immediately happy.
He quickly brought the tea and poured it for Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye himself.
The tea is coarse tea.
The large tea bowl is also made of coarse porcelain.
Just as Xie Yingmian said, the tea is fragrant and very thirst-quenching.
This type of tea bowl is suitable for drinking in one gulp.
After Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye finished drinking, they soon passed out.
The old man saw Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye, who had fainted, and shook his head slightly, muttering, "This is the first time the Palace Master has taken the initiative to meet outsiders. Best of luck to you all."
The old man opened the mechanism.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye fell down one after another.
There is someone below.
They blindfolded Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye and placed them in a coffin.
In the coffin, Xie Yingmian opened his eyes and pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes.
She fed Yu Lingye an antidote.
Yu Lingye woke up quickly.
It took him a moment to adjust to the darkness. "Where are we?"
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "We will sleep together in life and study together in death. We have achieved this while we are still alive."
Yu Lingye: "In the coffin?"
"Yes," Xie Yingmian said, "The coffin is quite spacious, but I don't know if it has ever contained a dead person."
Yu Lingye: ...
"You knew the tea was poisonous?"
Xie Yingmian: "It's a drug that causes coma."
"Didn't the old man tell us long ago that if we don't want to, we can leave. If we stay for tea, we have to abide by their rules."
"Of course, I won't let them knock me out. I took the antidote in advance."
Yu Lingye felt uncomfortable with the wood in the coffin: "This coffin is really not elegant."
Xie Yingmian: "It's not your bed, why would there be so many problems with it?"
Yu Lingye was tall and felt very uncomfortable in the cramped coffin. He gently turned sideways and held Xie Yingmian in his arms: "It can also be our bed. I don't mind the location."
Xie Yingmian said disdainfully: "What are you thinking about? We are in a coffin, don't be so harsh."
Yu Lingye chuckled softly: "I just want to find a comfortable position to lie down, what are you thinking about?"
Xie Yingmian: “…”
The two were joking and chatting.
The coffin was suddenly lifted up.
With a clang, someone threw the coffin somewhere.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye were shocked to the point of feeling dizzy and dizzy.
Then the coffin began to sway forward.
It looked like he was being carried onto a carriage.
Xie Yingmian regretted it.
It would be worse than being unconscious. I was trapped in a narrow little coffin while awake, and I had to sway back and forth. I was about to vomit.
I don’t know how long it took.
The carriage stopped.
The coffin was then transferred to a boat.
Xie Yingmian could clearly hear the sound of waves hitting the hull.
"We might be taken to an isolated island," Xie Yingmian said. "I suspect the isolated island is the headquarters of Jueming Palace."
Yu Lingye did not respond.
It was too dark in the coffin, and Xie Yingmian couldn't see his expression or guess what he was thinking.
After sailing for a long time, the boat finally stopped at the shore.
Several masters lifted the coffin and walked towards a certain place at an extremely fast speed.
It took about two quarters of an hour to walk.
The master finally stopped.
Bang!
After a loud bang, someone opened the coffin lid with a palm.
Xie Yingmian closed her eyes as early as the time when the pallbearers were carrying the coffin.
Because their eyes were closed, they quickly adapted to the light after coming from darkness.
The place where they were was indeed an isolated island.
There are quite a few buildings on the isolated island. They are well built and arranged in an orderly manner. A lot of vegetables and grains are also planted there.
The person who opened the coffin was a burly man.
The man had a rough, muscular appearance, with shiny hair combed back, bulging muscles on his chest, a big belly, and legs thicker than Xie Yingmian's waist.
From Xie Yingmian's perspective, the man opposite looked like a giant.
Xie Yingmian lowered her head and asked Yu Lingye, "Is he Lu Jiuyuan?"
Yu Lingye: ...
How is that possible?
"I'm not the Palace Master. I'm here to show you the way," the burly man said. "The Palace Master is waiting for you inside. Please come in."
The strong man walked in front.
He was like a mountain; the ground shook whenever he moved.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye followed the strong man into a yard.
There is a very tall and big loquat tree in the yard.
Early summer is the season for loquat harvest.
A thin, tall, and elegant man in gray was squatting on a loquat tree picking loquats.
Freshly picked loquats are placed in bamboo baskets.
When the bamboo basket was full, he placed it on the stone table under the loquat tree.
The gray-clothed man smiled brightly after seeing Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye: "Aye, you've come just in time. Come and help me."
