Chapter 136 The Strange Monk
Cheng Jiuyuan jumped up.
Chu Qing is so blatant!
Tutor Zhu is the Emperor's tutor, yet she actually dared to send people to kill his wife and daughter in broad daylight!
Cheng Jiuyuan was about to go out immediately.
Chu Heng held her back: "Don't worry, I'll go with you."
The three of them left the room together, and Cheng Jiuyuan saw Cheng Yunge standing in front of the window, staring at her quietly like a ghost.
Cheng Jiuyuan knew that Zhu Jin left the temple in the afternoon and she must have informed Chu Qing.
Cheng Jiuyuan didn't have time to settle the score with her, so he left the yard with Chu Heng and Chu Wan.
Chu Wan returned to her room, and Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan left the temple.
Cheng Jiuyuan wanted to go back the way she came, but Chu Heng pulled her back and said, "I know a shortcut."
Chu Heng led the way and went around the mountain behind the temple. Seeing that there was no one around, Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Heng covered their faces with black cloth.
Two afterimages rose into the air and quickly shuttled through the woods.
About an incense stick of time later, Cheng Jiuyuan heard Madam Zhu's shrill screams.
She steadied herself and saw the official road in a mess. The Zhu family's carriage was torn into pieces. Mrs. Zhu was covering her bleeding arm and crying in one direction.
There were many servants' bodies lying on the ground, and it seemed that they were not only servants of the Zhu family.
In the past few days, there were already many officials and their families who came to burn incense. Maybe someone recognized the mother and daughter of the Zhu family and asked their servants to help, so they were able to hold out for a while.
Cheng Jiuyuan didn't have time to think and flew in the direction of Madam Zhu's gaze.
Madam Zhu managed to hold on and not faint, and the officials and their wives waiting beside her waited until the bad guys left before they dared to step forward to comfort her.
The criminals had a clear goal, they only captured the girl from the Zhu family.
Mrs. Zhu cried bitterly.
She knew that this must have been done by the Fourth Princess, so she had to rescue her daughter. She wanted to go back to the Huguo Temple to ask the Fourth Princess for help.
If tonight passes, even if my daughter comes back, her reputation will be ruined.
But no matter what, it's good to be alive.
At worst, she could just take her daughter away from the capital.
With the Wei family in the capital, the Zhu family has no way to survive!
Madam Zhu turned around and stumbled towards the Huguo Temple. She wanted to ask the Fourth Princess for help.
But Cai took a few steps and fell to the ground.
The official's wife nearby hurriedly supported her.
All the servants of the Zhu family were dead. The official's wife asked the few remaining servants to help Madam Zhu onto her carriage, and then sent someone back to the capital to report to the authorities and notify Tutor Zhu.
Here, Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Heng were flying quickly over the treetops, when suddenly a figure flew towards Cheng Jiuyuan.
The man's kung fu was extremely high, Cheng Jiuyuan was shocked and attacked immediately.
When he saw the person's appearance clearly, Cheng Jiuyuan was a little surprised.
Why is he a monk?
The monk looked to be in his thirties and had a good-looking appearance.
Chu Heng quickly stepped forward to fight with the monk, "You keep looking, I'll deal with him!"
Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, tiptoed and continued to move forward.
The monk frowned, wanting to get rid of Chu Heng as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Chu Heng to be so difficult.
Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan was about to leave, he hurriedly asked: "Who did you learn the floating steps from? What is your relationship with Yan Ciqiu? Where is she?"
Cheng Jiuyuan ignored him and continued to fly forward.
The monk slapped Chu Heng and quickly chased after him.
He seemed to have no hostility towards Chu Heng, he just wanted to force him back.
Chu Heng also hurriedly chased after him, and the three of them chased each other in the forest.
Cheng Jiuyuan locked his eyes on the person on the ground below and swooped down.
Jiang Xiubai was carrying the unconscious Zhu Jin on his shoulders. Suddenly, he felt a palm wind coming from above. He dodged it based on his instinct and barely managed to save his life.
After seeing clearly that it was Jiang Xiubai, Cheng Jiuyuan gathered some of his strength and attacked him.
Jiang Xiubai’s kung fu was good, but he was carrying a person and was beaten back repeatedly by Cheng Jiuyuan.
After a while, the monk and Chu Heng arrived.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Xiubai threw Zhu Jin towards Cheng Jiuyuan and tried to run away.
Cheng Jiuyuan took the blessing, and the blue sky flew out from his sleeve and trapped Jiang Xiubai tightly, and pressed his mute point at the same time.
Jiang Xiubai looked up at the sky in silence. As soon as he saw the green ribbon, he knew that he had met this evil star again.
Cheng Jiuyuan tapped Zhu Jin a few times, and Zhu Jin took a breath and slowly woke up.
"Sister Cheng?"
Chu Heng stepped forward: "Come down when you wake up."
Zhu Jin then realized that he was in Cheng Jiuyuan's arms and quickly got down and stood still.
Chu Heng frowned: "If it weren't for Miss Cheng, how many times would you have died?"
Zhu Jin blushed. She glanced at Chu Heng secretly, then looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, "Sister Cheng, you saved me again."
After saying this, her face changed again: "My mother..."
"I hope Auntie is okay..."
At this time, the monk stepped forward and interrupted again, his expression was particularly persistent, "What is your relationship with Yan Ci Qiu? Where is she?"
"Who is Yan Ci Qiu? I don't know this person." Cheng Jiuyuan felt that the monk had no hostility towards her, so she didn't fight with him again.
"How could you not know her? Floating Steps is her original light skill!" The monk suddenly stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Cheng Jiuyuan's wrist.
Chu Heng immediately took action and forced the monk back several steps.
Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned. Her kung fu was naturally taught by Master Yan, but her master was Yan Guihong.
Cheng Jiuyuan ignored the monk and pulled Zhu Jin, saying, "Let's go back first."
Chu Heng said: "If she goes back like this, it will arouse suspicion. Others will not think that the robber has come to his senses and let her go."
Cheng Jiuyuan pursed her lips.
She didn't want to be exposed too soon.
Chu Heng is a man, and if he sends Zhu Jin back, he might be afraid of gossip.
"Little donor..."
Cheng Jiuyuan interrupted him before he could finish, "I said I don't know any Yan Ciqiu."
She didn't know whether Yan Guihong and Yan Ci Qiu were in contact, but her master had already told her not to reveal her whereabouts to anyone.
"…The donor has misunderstood. If the donor doesn't want to say it, Wuwang won't force it. Wuwang just wants to say that I can send this female donor back."
Cheng Jiuyuan turned back in surprise: "Are you Master Wuwang?"
She looked at Chu Heng again.
Chu Heng spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know Master Wuwang either.
It’s not that Cheng Jiuyuan judges people by their appearance. She thought that the legendary monks were all old men with white beards and white eyebrows. She didn’t expect that Master Wuwang was actually a handsome young man.
Cheng Jiuyuan felt that the monk was trying to be friendly with her, but given the current situation, it would of course be best if Master Wuwang sent Zhu Jin back.
She and Chu Heng will not be exposed, and Zhu Jin will not have his reputation ruined.
Moreover, it is said that Master Wuwang is an extremely skilled martial artist, so it is reasonable for Jiang Xiubai to be defeated by him.
Cheng Jiuyuan had no reason to refuse something that could kill three birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Master Wuwang."
Wuwang could see that Cheng Jiuyuan was extremely wary, and it would be difficult for him to get anything out of him.
But no matter how difficult it is, he has the patience to wait, after all, he has waited for so many years.
Zhu Jin looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Sister Cheng, I'll go first."
"Go ahead. Master Wuwang is here. You don't have to worry."
After watching Zhu Jin and the other person leave, Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng and said, "Your Highness, help me follow Zhu Jin secretly."
Chu Heng frowned: "Are you afraid that the monk is not Wuwang?"
"in case."
"Why don't you go?"
"I still have some things to deal with." After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xiubai who was tied up like a dumpling.
"Can't it be solved with one knife?" Chu Heng said casually.
Jiang Xiubai only felt a chill on his neck.
"This guy is still useful."
Chu Heng said with a "tsk". "You owe me a favor."
After Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, he reluctantly followed Wuwang and the others.
