Adoption brings disaster

Chapter 126

This is not the first time I have eaten this fruit, so I was naturally prepared. After pooping hard, I didn't feel any discomfort mentally, but I still felt uncomfortable physically.

I had diarrhea so badly that I was naturally severely dehydrated. I didn't expect that I would be in a cellar this time and there was no water to drink, so I was severely dehydrated.

The body is dehydrated and the mouth is the most uncomfortable part. Now I feel like the inside of my mouth is like a field that has been exposed to the sun for two months. It is full of cracks and it hurts a lot when I move a little.

It was so painful that I had no other choice but to squeeze out some saliva with difficulty to make my mouth and throat feel a little better.

I felt sick, but there were some things I had to do. I pretended to be fine and said, "Do you have any method to kill someone quietly without anyone finding any evidence?"

Killing is Ah Da's forte. When I asked him this, Ah Da immediately came up to me like a lackey and said, "Your Highness, whoever you want to kill, I will do it for you. There is no need to be quiet. With His Highness Prince Yong here, who dares to say anything wrong?"

Wuxin has always been rigorous, so he naturally knew that I said this because I had to kill people quietly.

Wu Xin listened and thought seriously. After a moment, he said, "I do have several ways to kill people quietly and without leaving any trace. However, these methods may be hidden from others, but they certainly cannot be hidden from the Death Detective and his good apprentice."

Wuxin knew that Qingyu was mine, and the meaning of this was very clear. As long as I could make Qingyu shut up, he could kill the person quietly without leaving any trace.

After hearing what Ah Da and Wu Xin said, Xiao Gao hurried over and said, "I don't have the skills of a miracle doctor, nor the power of His Highness Prince Yong, but I also want to help you. I know a few good places to dispose of the body. If Your Highness needs it, I will definitely treat it to your satisfaction."

I stroked my chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you are all so loyal and reliable, there may be two people who need to be dealt with later."

After hearing this, several people were a little confused. Could it be that His Highness Qianqiu was so good at fortune-telling that he even predicted what would happen next?

The three of them were confused and looked at me, wanting me to explain to them.

This is just some of my speculations, and it involves Zhaixing Tower, but I have no way to explain it to them.

I could only pretend not to see their inquiring looks, walked alone to a slightly cleaner place, picked up the wooden basket that had just been used to hold the fruit, sat down, closed my eyes and rested.

Wu De saw that I was very tired, so he naturally stopped asking any more questions. Instead, he stood behind me and massaged me with his special technique.

Wuxin is a reliable person. Seeing that I had already told him that there might be two people who needed to be dealt with later and Wude was already giving me a massage, he did not come over and just prepared for the subsequent assassination.

Xiao Gao has been in the martial arts world for many years and has seen many shady tricks there. He also knows some of them, but he usually disdains to use them because of the ethics of the martial arts world.

Now that I am imprisoned, Xiao Gao is afraid that the bandits will harm me, so he naturally can't care about so many things. He took the remaining wooden baskets and went to the side to start making some things.

Only Ah Da was fighting in the army, so he had nothing to do but stand there.

Ah Da knew that standing there like that was not a good idea, so he quickly stood in front of me to act as a guard, and from time to time he looked at Wu Xin Wu De with resentment in his eyes.

Everyone was busy like this, and soon, the sound of fighting was heard outside. It seemed that someone came to rescue them, but no one knew who they were, let alone who they were here to rescue.

"Your Excellency, there is a cellar here." After the clanging sounds of fighting outside ended, someone was heard saying respectfully.

Hearing this, Ah Da thought that the secret guards had gone to find reinforcements, and he was also very excited. He rushed to me and said, "Your Highness Qianqiu, long live the emperor! It must be His Highness Prince Yong's men who came to rescue us."

"Is your Prince Yong capable of escaping underground, or even foreseeing the future?" Wu De complained. "We were captured only an hour or two ago, how come your Prince's reinforcements arrived so quickly? Could it be that this bandit stronghold is also your Prince's?"

This is the truth, but Ah Da admires His Royal Highness Prince Yong the most, so he naturally believes that the people outside are sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yong. Therefore, he said with his neck stiff, "My prince has great magical powers and is naturally omnipotent. You quacks, how could you know the methods of His Royal Highness Prince Yong?"

Seeing them about to start arguing again, I was also very annoyed. I waved my hand to shut them up and said, "What's there to argue about? You'll know when they come down."

When Ada and the others heard me talking, they stopped arguing and just looked at the people above to see if it was Prince Yong who came to rescue them.

The medicine on the lid was indeed powerful and caused quite a bit of trouble to the visitor, but it was just a nuisance.

Soon, the soldiers used a long piece of wood to lift the stone off the lid, and then a few bandits were driven over and quickly removed the lid that had been trapping everyone.

Without the lid, the cellar suddenly became much brighter, and two people hurried down from above.

"We are from the government, and we are all safe now." said the man in civil servant uniform who came in first.

The man in armor at the back didn't say anything, but just waved his hand, and a group of soldiers came in and took everyone out.

We lined up and followed the soldiers out of the cellar in an orderly manner. Ada kept his head down and said nothing the whole time.

I noticed his strangeness and asked, "Is there something wrong with these two people? You don't say anything."

When Ah Da heard me ask, he said indifferently, "One of them is the Governor-General of Liangjiang, and the other is the General of Huaihua. Both are close confidants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wu De couldn't stand Ah Da's worship of His Royal Highness Prince Yong. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wouldn't let Ah Da go. He also teased, "It turns out that it wasn't His Royal Highness Prince Yong who sent people to rescue Brother Qianqiu, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness Prince Yong is really powerful. He can even call his own enemy to come to the rescue."

Xiao Gao didn't understand the affairs of the court, and asked with confusion, "I heard that the military officers all support His Royal Highness Prince Yong. How come General Huaihua is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Among the civil service ranks are some skilled warriors who excel at deploying troops, while among the military ranks are some with quick wits. There's nothing to be surprised about," I explained. "Besides, most of these aristocratic families are hedging their bets. If you've lived in the capital for a long time, you'll take all the strange things for granted."

"It's really strange that these bandits, who are not even a jack of all trades, actually sent out these two." Ah Da murmured in confusion.

"There's nothing strange about it. These two people are not coming for us." I walked slowly forward in the crowd.

After hearing this, Ah Da became curious about who these two provincial governors came for. He looked around for a long time, but couldn't see anyone else except me who was worthy of these two provincial governors mobilizing such a large force.

Ah Da asked, "Who else could be here besides His Highness?"

"Who else could it be?" I said to Ah Da with a devilish smile, "Of course it's the one you married."

Ah Da took one look at the woman and without a second thought, he immediately retorted, "Impossible. Although that woman is quite pretty, she's not something that would catch the eye of a high-ranking official like that. If they really wanted her, there would be people who would be a hundred times better than that woman."

As Ah Da finished speaking, two heart-wrenching cries came from the cellar: "Lihua."

Ah Da was somewhat stunned when he heard the crying. He really couldn't understand how a woman from the underworld could make two high-ranking officials lose their composure like that in public.

I knew I had some guesses in my mind, but they still needed to be verified, so I said, "Wuxin, you and Xiao Gao will deal with them, and then send their bodies back to the capital as quickly as possible and hand them over to Qingyu."

Killing two provincial governors is indeed a bit troublesome. If I don't take action, I'm afraid they will be captured and taken back to the capital before anything is found out. Then how can I get to the Zhaixing Tower and return?

So I looked at Ah Da again and said, "Ah Da, use the power of King Yong to suppress the news of their deaths. It will take at least ten days."

This matter made Ah Da feel a little embarrassed. For such a high-ranking official, one move would affect the whole body. Not to mention such a silent death, even a small matter like drinking an extra bowl of porridge in the morning would spread throughout the city in less than half an hour.

Wu Xin saw Ah Da's dilemma and knew that this would be difficult to do. After thinking for a while, he said, "I do know a few people in the martial arts world who are very good at disguise. If I can find a reason to pretend to be them and delay them for ten days or half a month, it shouldn't be difficult."

The heart-wrenching cries from the cellar continued. Wuxin smiled at me and said, "Now there's a perfect excuse."

Ah Da was a little embarrassed. He kept saying that His Royal Highness Prince Yong was omnipotent, but he had not done anything well in recent times. It could even be said that he had done a complete mess.

But I don't have time to care about Ah Da's thoughts now. I looked at the sky and continued, "In that case, Wu Xin and Xiao Gao, you go and deal with this matter. Ah Da and Wu De will go with me to Bodhi Temple."

Wuxin and Xiao Gao are acting reliably, and although their martial arts skills are not top-notch, their lightness skills are not weak. Even if I cannot kill them silently, I don't think they will be caught. There is nothing for me to worry about.

After arranging everything, I used my lightness skills to fly to the Bodhi Temple with Wude and Ada, while Xiaogao and Wuxin also used their lightness skills to find a secret place to hide, waiting for the right opportunity.

Speaking of which, this bandit's lair is very close to the Bodhi Temple. Even if you don't use your lightness skills, it will only take about half a day to walk there slowly.

We used all our strength to perform Qinggong and arrived at the gate of Bodhi Temple in less than an hour. At this time, the afterglow of the sun shone on the gate, and it looked so holy from afar.

For the past half month, Bodhi Temple has closed its gates and refused to accept pilgrims in order to host a martial arts conference.

The mountain gate that was originally bustling with people suddenly became a little deserted. The two young monks in front of the mountain gate were very tired from receiving martial artists from all over the world for several days. They yawned continuously with their panda eyes.

Seeing us approaching, he mustered up his energy to greet us, and said with a smile, "Two donors, Bodhi Temple is closed to visitors today. Please go back."

"I am the chief escort of Baofu Escort Agency. I came here today to participate in the martial arts conference. I hope you two young masters can give me some convenience." After saying that, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the two of them.

The two men did not shy away, but accepted the greeting calmly, saying with some embarrassment, "This is a bit embarrassing for me. The martial arts conference has already begun, and the abbot has told us to guard the mountain gate and not let anyone in to disrupt the conference."

I gave Ah Da a look, and Ah Da quickly grabbed the little monk's hand and casually threw two silver ingots into their sleeves. He smiled and said, "I hope the two young masters can help me. My escort leader has long been fascinated by the martial arts conference. I hope you can help me."

The two young monks smiled even wider after receiving the silver. They said, "Buddha said that helping others is beneficial to oneself. You are all heroes in the martial arts world. We two brothers will take the punishment from the abbot and let you in to participate in the martial arts conference."

I bowed and walked into the Bodhi Temple. Then I turned and asked, "Bodhi Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, an authentic Buddhist temple. I'm honored to be here today, and I should show my gratitude. I wonder where I can donate some money for incense."

When they heard about the incense money, the two little monks, who were already smiling, immediately smiled even brighter and hurried to the front of me to lead the way.

The two little monks were very attentive along the way and enthusiastically introduced me to every place we visited.

I came across a hall in the Bodhi Temple and went in to see the Buddha and worship him. When I saw the donation box, I waved my hand and A Da threw money into it. The two little monks behind me had their eyes wide open and each time they took out a silver note of fifty or one hundred taels.

As they went up like this, the little monk who originally led the way became a big monk, and the number of people increased from two to more than ten.

After paying respects to the Buddha, the elder led me to a side room for tea. Seeing no signs of commotion around me, I asked in confusion, "Today should be the martial arts conference, but why aren't there any chivalrous warriors here? I haven't even heard a sound."

The great monk said, "The martial arts conference is in the back mountains, not here, so you can't hear it."

After listening to the elder's words, I nodded and said, "I came here first to worship Buddha, and secondly for this martial arts conference. Now that I have worshipped Buddha, could you take me to see it?"

I donated several thousand taels of incense money, which is more than many dignitaries donated in a year. Naturally, this small request was granted. The elder personally led me to fly towards the back mountain where the martial arts conference was held.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
