Chapter 139 Who Do You Think You Are?
, please! We are not bandits, we were also deceived.""It was all the leader's orders, he's the only real bandit here. We were just up in the mountains trying to survive.""This is my first time... snif...The Blue-robed Maiden
With Chu Jie's personality, he wouldn't care about any girl.
"Brother, what is special about that young lady" Yu Zhong asked in puzzlement.
Chu Jie frowned and said, "I feel that girl looks a bit like the Qingyi by the Emperor's side!"
"What"
Several people were astonished once again.
"Green clothes Which green clothes"
Which Majesty are you referring to
The three master and apprentices were all surprised.
Chu Jie sighed: “Of course it's the former Princess Pingyang, Your Majesty the Empress!”
"Are you sure you're not mistaken" Yu Zhong asked nervously.
Chu Jie shook his head. "I'm not sure, only that in the moment the door opened, I found her very familiar, much like Qingyi by the Emperor's side! And the other party, for some reason, withdrew at the moment the door opened and was never seen again after that."
"If she were really Qingyi, she should have recognized us!" Chu Jie said.
For a moment, there was complete silence in the room.
Even Ma Ruyun, who always had a smile on her face, couldn't bring herself to smile at this moment.
The four stared at each other in silence for a long time. After a while, Kong Qiu suddenly spoke, "If it's true as the rumors say, that the Empress hasn't died, what are your plans"
Faced with the teacher's question, the three who always obeyed the teacher fell silent.
As the three of them, now able to leisurely accompany their teacher on travels, they all know that accompanying the teacher is just one part of it. The most important thing is to escape.
“Teacher, to be honest, I... don't know!” Yu Zhong shook his head. “I once thought that I would never hold an official position again in my life!”
But just now, when the eldest brother mentioned Qingyi, I… I don't know why, but my heart is still unwilling!
"Speaking of this, Yu Zhong said with a firm expression: "The most urgent thing is to first find out if what the eldest brother saw was really Qingyi If it was really Qingyi, Your Majesty...she...could she also be here"
Upon hearing this, the master and his four disciples fell silent once more.
Kong Qiu suddenly thought of something and murmured to himself, "You guys say, if the person Xiao Jie saw was really Qing Yi, would the Empress be related to this Yang Lin"
Several people widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at their teacher.
Yu Zhong nodded: "When I see Yang Lin again tomorrow, I must ask him clearly!"
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the Yang family's back garden, Li Yuyao and Qingyi stood hidden in the shadows.
"Can you see clearly"
"I definitely saw them clearly, General Zhenwei Chu Jie, Prime Minister Yu Zhong, the wealthiest businessman in the world Ma Ruyun! And their mysterious master Kong Qiu!"
"Your Majesty, if these four were to appear there alone, I wouldn't be so certain. But with all four appearing together, how could there be any mistake"
Li Yuyao's face was already filled with uncontainable shock.
Qingyi lowered her voice and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's a rare opportunity for us that all four of them appeared here!"
“On my way to meet you, I heard that after the usurper declared himself emperor, Prime Minister Yu Zhong took leave on account of illness and left the court. The usurper personally went to invite him out of retirement, but Yu Zhong refused. This clearly shows that Yu Zhong's loyalty is with Your Majesty!”“As for General Zhenwei Chu Jie and the wealthiest merchant in the world, Ma Ruyun, one controls a third of the military forces in the northern border, he is an independent person who only loyal to Dagan, not to any king; the other has countless gold and silver, rich enough to rival a country. If we had their support… Your Majesty, reclaiming the throne would be just around the corner!”
However, compared to Qingyi's excited face, although Li Yiyao was also incredibly shocked when she heard the news, she had already calmed down by this moment.
"You're saying they appeared here by coincidence, or on purpose"
Li Yuxiang narrowed her eyes and said faintly.
Qing Yi was startled, then exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty means they came on purpose That's impossible! The shop clerk said they were interested in Young Master's paper and wanted to do business with him."
Upon hearing the word "paper," Li Yuxiang was taken aback again.
Thinking about that special kind of paper, Li Yuyao also felt that this matter was probably just a coincidence.
After all, with those people's vision, it's not hard to see the importance of that paper!
If you blame anyone, blame Yang Lin for being too outstanding! Even if he stayed in this small village, his brilliance couldn't be hidden!
"Let's be careful with these two for now. No matter what they're planning, let's not let them find us."
"Yes!" Qingyi hurriedly bowed.
Yang Lin returned with good news, recounting the story of the four disciples and their master. However, he failed to notice the trace of worry that had appeared on Li Yuyao's face...
The next morning, after breakfast, Yang Lin took the opportunity to deliver some wine and food, intending to visit Mr. Yu, who seemed to be of a high official rank, and discuss the matter of going to Sui Zhou.
As soon as the result arrived at the courtyard gate, security guards hurried over from a short distance.
"Master, something has happened!"
Yang Lin frowned slightly: "What's wrong"
A villager quickly said, “It’s the people who were brought back yesterday from the other house. They are causing a ruckus and beat up our people…”
"What"
Yang Lin was instantly enraged!
The person the other party spoke of was naturally the master from Pingyuan County Magistrate Zheng Rong.
The original intention was to kill them, but Yang Lin wasn't an unreasonable person. He planned to let them cool off for a while and see how sincere these people were about buying the medicine formula. If the other party clearly came to take advantage, then when Kong Liang's fake bandits were ready, it would naturally be their death day!
I didn't expect the other party to be so impatient. They stirred up trouble after just one day.
The villagers guarding the perimeter quickly added, "Captain Qin has already passed away, but they insist on seeing you. What should we do"
Yang Lin furrowed her brow, pondered for a moment, then said, "You immediately leave the village and go to the foot of the mountain ahead to find Kong Liang. Ask him how preparations are going there, and then bring the news back immediately! As for what's happening here, I'll go take a look first!"
Things over there are urgent. If they're not handled well, he won't be able to leave with peace of mind, so I have to go over there and solve the problem first.
Inside, Chu Jie, who was peering through the crack in the door, frowned slightly: "How did this kid get to the door and then leave again"
At this time, in another courtyard.
Wei Fang, the teacher sent by Pingyuan County Magistrate Zheng Rong, was furious. He kicked over a villager who was tidying the courtyard and shouted coldly, "What do you think you are Get lost! All of you! Tell Yang Lin to come see me!"
The Wei party member was over forty years old, of medium build, with a small mustache and a sinister gleam in his eyes. At this moment, he was filled with resentment and anger.
Thinking of his identity, being sent to such a remote place, he was already very discontent.
After the result came, they were unexpectedly brought to this courtyard and left there unattended. No one paid any attention!
When was he ever wronged like thisthey haven't come back yet. Just now someone came to report that the people from Zhao's and Zhou's families have all been arrested and are currently at the County Magistrate's hall!""What"After hearin...
