Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 192 Bringing things to order
"Rescue!"

"Hurry and find Envoy Min!"

After a lot of hard work, the fire on the mountain was finally put out when heavy rain came. The Taoling Mountain was shrouded in mist.

The hooks turned over the charred bodies one by one, and finally saw Min Yuanxiu who was pressed under many corpses.

"Pacifier, we failed to provide adequate protection. Please punish us severely."

Min Yuanxiu coughed twice and stood up with difficulty, but he did not blame his subordinates too much.

In fact, he held back when facing Gu Jingnian, otherwise he would have been able to knock the other person out with the first roar.

However, he followed Song Jian's orders and had to let Gu Jingnian take the child away.

Unfortunately, too many people died.

Min Yuanxiu's eyes revealed sadness. But for His Majesty, he had no choice but to continue.

Regardless, this plan was a success.

First, send the child to Gu Jingnian; second, bring Gu Beiming back.

"Where's Gu Beiming?"

Min Yuanxiu looked around and asked.

At that time, just as Shen Jichi's shadow took Gu Beiming away, Gu Jingnian suddenly went crazy and set fires everywhere. The situation was chaotic and even Min Yuanxiu didn't notice the whereabouts of Shen Jichi and Gu Beiming.

"Marquis Wu Ding has brought the people over there."

Min Yuanxiu looked in the direction the soldier pointed and saw a scorched forest that had just been put out by a fire.

He couldn't help but frown and asked again: "Where are the people?"

"Still looking."

Min Yuanxiu was displeased and walked over there himself. After stepping over several corpses, Shen Jichi appeared in front of him.

Shen Jichi was still wearing the spotless white robe, which made him extremely eye-catching in this charred environment.

"Marquis Wuding." Min Yuanxiu asked, "Where is Gu Beiming?"

Shen Jichi did not answer, but asked: "Have you found his body?"

"What happened?" Min Yuanxiu asked, "The man has clearly been captured by Marquis Wu Ding, how could he be lost?"

Shen Jichi casually took out another wine glass, took a sip, and said, "You also know that I only sent a shadow to Taoling Mountain, and the shadow was burned by fire. After all, I was in a hurry and couldn't come in person. You should have told me earlier."

This was not the time to blame each other, so Min Yuanxiu did not mention his difficulties, and only asked, "Is Gu Beiming dead?"

"I'm not sure." Shen Jichi said, "I only know that I brought him here and encountered a raging fire."

Min Yuanxiu asked, "Could it be that Marquis Wu Ding deliberately released him out of personal friendship or some other reason?"

He was testing her, but he didn't expect Shen Jichi to give a very straightforward answer.

"Yes, I let him go on purpose. You can impeach me before the emperor."

"Marquis Wu Ding!"

Shen Jichi was too lazy to say anything more. He swept his hand in the air and his figure melted like ice and snow.

Min Yuanxiu frowned and looked around, but he couldn't find Gu Beiming among the corpses on the ground.

--------

Darkness fades away.

Gu Beiming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, with a fierce murderous look in his eyes.

At the same time, a clinking sound was heard, and it turned out that the shackles on his hands and feet were moving.

He still felt very weak. He looked down and unexpectedly found that his body had been burned to charcoal and he felt a burning pain.

Looking back, he was in a house made of black iron, with a bed and all the necessary utensils, but it was still a prison cell.

"Marshal, are you awake?"

Liang Xin's voice rang out, coming from the cell next door through a small air vent.

Gu Beiming said, "It's you? It seems that I have been captured by those two rebellious sons."

"Yes." Liang Xin said, "Congratulations, Marshal. Congratulations, Marshal. You have achieved nirvana through fire. I believe that you will soon be able to spread your wings of fire like you, young master, and cultivate the bloodline of the phoenix."

Gu Beiming did not look happy, he looked at the small air window and said, "You can come over."

"What do you mean, Marshal? How can I get through?"

"Cut a hand in."

Liang Xin said in embarrassment: "Marshal, I am tied up with iron chains."

The next moment, the door of the next cell seemed to be opened.

Gu Jize’s voice rang out.

"Take him down."

Liang Xin was quickly taken away, but there was no clanking sound of iron chains, indicating that he was not tied up with iron chains. Gu Beiming knew that Gu Jize had come, so he said, "I have always thought that you were a filial son. What are you going to do now? Kill your father and seize power?"

"I am saving my father and the Gu family." Gu Jize said, "My father used alchemy to increase his strength, but he didn't think about what happened to Master Xuandao and others. No matter how strong the supernatural power is, it is only given to one person. If you harm the heaven and go against the will of heaven, you will be abandoned by everyone. Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't escape death!"

"idiot."

"I am a fool, but if it weren't for me, my father would have died on Taoling Mountain."

Gu Beiming said: "I shouldn't have handed you over to Geng Xuezhi back then, and let you become so pedantic."

Just this one sentence directly angered Gu Jize.

"Father, how dare you mention Uncle Geng's name?!"

"Why don't I dare?!"

"You still think you don't know? Uncle Geng is so loyal to my father, but you, how could you refine him?!"

As he spoke, Gu Jize's suppressed emotions began to stir.

"So, in that battle, you were the one who betrayed Uncle Geng. In order to get Uncle Geng's eyes, you killed him and his three thousand soldiers!"

Gu Beiming said: "So what? Do you think he is against alchemy for justice? It's just that he has special skills himself."

"That's enough. I never thought you were such a person."

"Then you kill me!"

"Don't think I dare!"

“Hahahaha.” Gu Beiming laughed, “Come on!”

The iron door slammed open with a sound. Gu Jize kicked the door hard, then took the key to open it.

"Let me do it."

Suddenly someone spoke, the voice was calm and indifferent, it was Gu Jingnian.

"Fourth brother is not the kind of person who would do such a thing. I will chop off his head."

Gu Jingnian took the key from Gu Jize.

The iron door was opened a crack, but then slammed shut again.

Gu Jize finally shook his head and said, "No."

"Kill him and we can avoid future troubles." Gu Jingnian said.

"I can't do it." Gu Jize grabbed the key and said, "Let's go."

The two brothers came out of the iron prison and passed through a long and dark passage. Gradually, there was light ahead. Finally, they walked into the sunlight and climbed to the top of the city wall. Looking around, they saw that the flag of the Xiaoyi Army was still flying.

Gu Jize's wife came over with a group of people, holding the baby in her arms, and put a red cloak embroidered with a unicorn on it, which symbolized the commander-in-chief of the Xiaoyi Army, on Gu Jize.

Gu Jingnian took the swaddling clothes from Gu Jize's wife, and looked at Lu Anran sleeping in the swaddling clothes, his eyes softened a lot.

"Fourth brother has put order into the chaos."

"But it's not over yet." Gu Jize said: "Yin Kuo is still in Jusai City, I want to help the court to restore order."

Gu Jingnian said: "Let me take care of this matter."

"You do it?"

"It's not to steal the credit." Gu Jingnian said, "Yin Kuo's status is different after all, so I will handle it. If there is any investigation in the future, I will not implicate Fourth Brother."

Gu Jingnian's next plan was simple. He would do his best to help Gu Jize sort out the affairs in Jusai City and help him get in touch with Yin Jinggeng, so as to pave a way for the Gu family.

After that, he would find Yingyao and go to the fertile fields.

--------

At the same time, in the city of Jusai.

Yin Shu held a bowl of mucus in front of Yin Kuo and said, "Grandfather, this is all we have today."

"Something is wrong."

Yin Kuo spoke slowly, seeming to be struggling.

After so many resurrections, his body had very few original memories left, and he was no longer as sharp in thinking as the original Yin Kuo. If he was cut open a few more times, the resurrected Yin Kuo would probably be as thoughtless as other salamanders.

But after all, he had been an emperor for a lifetime, and the instincts in his body were still there.

"My granddaughter has asked around." Yin Shu whispered, "Since Gu Jingnian came, there has been something strange in the city. Gu Beiming has not been in the city for half a month."

"Let's go." Yin Kuo made up his mind, "The Gu family is a surrendered vassal, ultimately unreliable, I should go south."

Yin Shu asked, "But how do we leave?"

"Go find Dong Cailiang." Yin Kuo said slowly: "Dong Cailiang is a weak person. Yin Yuhe sent him here to surrender to Gu Beiming. Now that Gu Beiming is not here, he must be panicking."

"But Dong Cailiang was sent by Yin Yuhe to get rid of us. Can we use him?"

"You are wrong." Yin Kuo said, "The person Yin Yuhe is really afraid of is not me, but Yin Jinggeng."
