Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 364: Bright Summit (Happy New Year)

make a deal!

The two reached a cooperation intention and happily decided to cooperate.

After reaching a cooperation intention, the next thing is to discuss how to leave here.

Now the Prince Qi's Mansion has surrounded the entire Lantian County. It is not easy to leave here now. Chen Jie and Liu Caidie reached a consensus that they need to reach Guangmingding.

The problem facing them now is how to escape the pursuit of Prince Qi's Mansion.

In the past, Chen Jiusi could rely on his powerful strength to rush out directly. As long as he was not facing Qi Chun, the Tyrant Blade, or the Second Master of the Tang Clan and Changxuzi, Chen Jiusi was basically posing no threat.

But now Chen Jie is poisoned by the blood-sucking poison, and all his energy has to be used to fight against the blood-sucking poison. The only thing Chen Jie can use now is the horizontal training power of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

Chen Jie tried it out and found that relying on physical strength alone, Chen Jie could reach the Changhong realm, and even warriors in the Dragon realm could not deal with him.

There was no way. It was very difficult for Chen Jiusi to mobilize the internal energy in his body. If he forcibly mobilized the internal energy, Chen Jiusi was afraid that the blood-sucking poison would leak out, causing him to suffer from cerebral thrombosis again.

Liu Caidie's condition was not good either. She had injuries on her body and it was difficult for her to exert her full strength. At best, she could only exert about 60 to 70 percent of her strength, which was barely enough to reach the level of a dragon.

Such power could be dealt with by an ordinary martial arts opponent, but their opponents are enemies at the upper level of the Furnace like Qi Chun, the Tyrant Blade, the Second Master of the Tang Clan, and Changxuzi.

Let alone them, even the two calligraphy and painting elders of the Kunlun School were not someone Chen Jiusi could deal with now.

Therefore, if you want to escape from this encirclement, you cannot act recklessly, but must use your wits.

After discussing how to outwit the enemy, they decided to disguise themselves and change their companions.

And there must be a sense of contrast, which is unimaginable. Liu Caidie has always appeared as an ugly girl before, so this time she has to act like a young lady and show her bright and charming appearance.

Chen Jiusi himself is handsome and a young talent, so Liu Caidie suggested that Chen Jie make up to look like an ugly old man.

In response to this, Liu Caidie also provided Chen Jie with a dressing tool, which was the big scarred face she used to dress up as an ugly girl.

"This is?"

Chen Jie looked at the scarred human skin mask that Liu Caidie handed to him and said, "Is this the tool you use to accompany Chou?"

Liu Caidie said: "Well, this is the tool used by Accompanying the Chou."

After hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Liu Caidie and said, "Let me see."

Chen Jie took it in his hand and examined it carefully. After a long time, there was some surprise on his face. This human skin mask was not a mask like the ones used by the Five Poison Sect for disguise, but a kind of icy animal skin.

Not human skin.

Liu Caidie said: "How is it? This is a martial arts treasure. Although it only has one function, no one can see the flaw when using it to disguise oneself."

Chen Jie agreed deeply. After all, when Liu Caidie dressed up as an ugly girl, Chen Jie didn't find any problems. The mask was indeed amazing.

However, when Liu Caidie said it was a martial arts treasure, Chen Jie knew how valuable this item was.

Martial arts treasures, some items with special powers, are very precious and their effects vary.

Each of these martial arts treasures is very precious. For example, Chen Jie has a martial arts treasure, which is the storage ring in his hand, which is a martial arts treasure.

However, if you count carefully, Chen Jie actually has another martial arts treasure, which is his alchemy furnace, the Changchun furnace from Changchun Valley, and its function is to increase the success rate of elixir production.

These martial arts treasures have been passed down since ancient times, as if they came from an era with abundant spiritual energy. However, it is difficult to find such martial arts treasures nowadays.

Chen Jie thought about it and looked at Liu Caidie and said, "How do I use this?"

After Liu Caidie took it, she used her unique internal energy to activate a formula, and then applied it on Chen Jie's face. Chen Jie felt his face was cool and very comfortable.

After a moment, Liu Caidie stopped and said to Chen Jie: "Take a look for yourself."

Chen Jie touched his face and felt it was numb, as if he had a severe burn scar.

At this time, Liu Caidie said: "Well, your hair is too soft. You need to soak it in oil and then remove some dust. Also, you need to change your clothes to coarse linen. In addition, you need to improve your figure and make your back less hunched."

"Hunchback?"

Chen Jie was stunned, then he mobilized his muscles and bones, using the Five Poison Sect's bone-shrinking technique to slightly change his body shape. Suddenly his body became hunched over, and he looked like an ugly old man.

Thinking of Liu Caidie, he said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to Lantian County to do some shopping."

Now that Liu Caidie has removed her scar, she looks very pretty. Even if she stands in front of Qi Chun and others, these people probably won't recognize her, after all, everyone thinks she is an ugly girl.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation. Maybe Qi Chun and the others have other ways of identification, so there is no need for Liu Caidie to take risks.

But then again, as the saying goes, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. No one could have imagined that Liu Caidie would go to Lantian County again.

In this way, Chen Jie waited in the dilapidated temple for a whole morning. Liu Caidie came back at noon, and she drove a horse carriage. Before arriving at the dilapidated temple, Liu Caidie had changed into a very beautiful dress. When she stood there, she didn't look like an ugly girl at all, but a lady from a noble family.

The ugly girl glanced at Chen Jie and said with a smile, "How is it?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "It's true that natural beauty is hard to give up. Miss Liu is very beautiful."

Liu Caidie said: "That's right, I am one of the two Zoroastrians."

"The Fire Worshipping Twins?"

Chen Jie was stunned by the name: "Who else is there besides you?"

After saying this, Liu Caidie said proudly: "Of course it's Sister Ling'er."

"Sister Ling'er? Which Sister Ling'er?"

Chen Jie asked.

"Han Ling'er."

As Liu Caidie spoke, she threw a bag of coarse cloth clothes to Chen Jie. It was obvious that these clothes were the kind that only old servants or housekeepers could wear.

At this time, Chen Jie looked at Liu Caidie and said, "Should I wear this?"

Liu Caidie said, "Of course, you wear this to pretend to be my servant, and I am the third daughter of the Zhao family in Chang'an. This time I am traveling light to Chang'an to celebrate my grandmother's birthday."

Chen Jie looked at Liu Caidie and said, "The Zhao family in Chang'an, the big merchant family?"

Liu Caidie said: "Yes, he is the store manager of our Zoroastrianism Outer Sect. It's okay to use their name."

Chen Jie asked: "So I am an old servant?"

Liu Caidie looked at him and said, "Aren't you happy?"

Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I suspect you are seeking revenge. Can't I be your brother or something like that?"

"Who would believe you're so ugly? Well, don't worry about it. By the way, I've given you a new name, Zhao Fu."

Chen Jie said: "Okay, this time you really arranged everything clearly."

He said this, but in his heart he agreed with Liu Caidie's arrangement. The contrast between him changing from a handsome young man to an ugly old servant was indeed big enough and hard to make any connection.

Of course, when you ask whether Liu Caidie is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, Chen Jie suspects that she does.

Just like that, Chen Jie began to dress up, putting on the coarse cloth clothes, and then used the bone-shrinking technique to make his back hunched, and then used special fuel to dye his hair slightly white, making him look older.

Liu Caidie looked around and said, "Well, not bad, not bad, it's hard for people to recognize it, but we have to make it more realistic. So, you play a lame man."

Chen Jie said, "Cripple, that's fine, but you are the third daughter of the Zhao family, and you go out without two guards, but only with an old servant with a limp? Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"

Liu Caidie said: "You can act like a master of Huajin level, but you can't show your skill of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, otherwise people will suspect you. By the way, do you know any other horizontal training skills?"

Chen Jie nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "I am an old servant with a poor foot who is good at opening stone tablets."

That’s right, of course Chen Jie also knows other horizontal training skills, which is the stone-opening hand technique taught to him by Peng Shizhong.

Breaking monuments and splitting rocks is no problem at all, so it makes sense that he, an outer sect master, would be the guard. In addition, Liu Caidie made up a miserable life story for herself, saying that she was the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Zhao and had only an old servant with her since childhood. This time she went north not only to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, but also to return to her family.

After this conversation, the identities of the two were basically confirmed.

Liu Caidie, the third child and illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family in Chang'an, has been fostered outside since she was young and is only accompanied by the old servant Zhao Fu. This time she went north for two purposes: the first was to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, and the second was to gain a status.

After the two finished talking, they prepared to set off, and Liu Caidie sat in the car.

Chen Jie sat on the shaft of the cart, driving it step by step towards the north.

Soon Chen Jie and his companions saw a checkpoint set up on the road with soldiers guarding it. There was also a seat on the side where an old man was drinking tea.

The old man was dressed in white and had a ferocious look in his eyes. Chen Jie recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the book elder of Kunlun Sect?

The elder Shu looked around at this time and saw the approaching carriage.

"stop!"

The soldier also saw the carriage coming here and immediately shouted. Following the shout, Chen Jie immediately pulled the reins of the horse.

Hu~
He got down from the shaft of the carriage skillfully, held up his lame leg and looked at the soldiers and said, "Soldiers, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at Chen Jie and saw an ugly, lame old man with gray hair and a hunchback. He was dressed in coarse cloth and looked like an old servant in a wealthy family.

"Where are you from and where are you going?"

Several soldiers asked arrogantly, and Chen Jie took out silver from his pocket and handed it to the soldier, looking very worldly-wise. The soldier looked at the silver, studied and saw the book elder not far away, the book elder also looked over, stood up, took the sword on the table, and walked towards the carriage.

The soldier immediately said with a frown, "Don't try to trick me. I won't fall for it. Tell me the truth about where you came from and where you are going."

Chen Jie saw the soldier saying this, but he stretched out his hand where the elder was carrying the book. Chen Jie directly handed over the silver and said, "Sir, we came from Huai'an to the Zhao family in Chang'an Prefecture. The old lady is having a birthday, and we are here to celebrate her birthday."

Upon hearing this, the soldier said, "Happy birthday. Okay, let's go."

The soldier took the money and didn't want to embarrass Chen Jie, so he asked him to leave. Chen Jie immediately said, "Thank you, sir. I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."

As Chen Jie was about to pull the reins of the horse while holding his lame leg, he heard the elder shout, "Stop."

Chen Jie was stunned and stopped. At this time, he saw Elder Shu came forward and looked Chen Jie up and down, especially his face.

Elder Shu has been wandering around the world for many years, so he must have known the art of disguise. At this moment, he reached out and pinched the ugly scar on Chen Jie's face.

"Ouch!"

Chen Jie covered his face. You know, if it was an ordinary human skin mask, the whole face would fall off with that pinch just now. But he checked and found that Chen Jie's face was real.

This is just like when Chen Jiusi examined Liu Caidie. With their knowledge, it was impossible for them to imagine that there was a martial arts tool that could change one's face.

Elder Shu looked at Chen Jie again, then turned around and walked to the carriage.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open.

"Ah~"

The 'Third Miss Zhao' in the car was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. Elder Shu took a look and also thought that the girl in front of him was pretty.

After taking one more look, he didn't care anymore. Elder Shu said, "Come down."

Miss Zhao San came to the carriage at this time. Chen Jie immediately stepped forward and took the stool for dismounting from the carriage and said, "Miss, slow down."

Elder Shu ignored the two of them. He looked at the carriage and saw several birthday gifts inside.

Then the elder knocked on the carriage to make sure there was no gap, then lowered his head to look at the ruts from below. There was no one hiding under the carriage, so the entire carriage was checked.

Elder Shu's understanding was that Chen Jiusi had been poisoned by the Tang Clan's Blood-Devouring Poison. He knew about the Blood-Devouring Poison, and the Tang Clan's Second Master had also said that if Chen Jiusi had been poisoned by the Blood-Devouring Poison, he would be half-crippled if not dead, and he would definitely not be able to stand up.

Therefore, you must pay attention to the passing vehicles to see if there is any interlayer, or tie it under the car.

Apparently there was nothing wrong with the carriage.

At this time, the elder turned around to look at Liu Caidie and said, "The distance from Huai'an to Chang'an is not short. Are you just a master and a servant?"

After hearing this question, Chen Jie and Liu Caidie were both very calm, because this was part of their contingency plan.

Liu Caidie said timidly: "I, I am the illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family. I have only been accompanied by an old servant since I was a child."

After hearing this, Elder Shu said, "Oh, it's so far from Huai'an to here, and there are so many bandits, horse bandits, and petty thieves. Didn't you two encounter any danger?"

"Reporting to the official, the second son is a bit skilled in martial arts and can protect the young lady along the way. Besides, we are traveling light and there is nothing worth stealing."

Chen Jie spoke.

"Oh, you know martial arts?"

Elder Shu looked Chen Jie up and down, and seeing no sign of the dissipation of Qi from him, he asked, "What kind of Kung Fu do you know?"

"When I was young, I learned some horizontal training skills, but they were not presentable."

Chen was explaining, and at this moment Elder Shu suddenly slapped him with his palm.

Ah!
Seeing Elder Shu suddenly attack, Liu Caidie was startled. She thought Chen Jiusi was exposed, but at this moment Chen Jie immediately used his [Brick Breaking Hand] to attack.

Snapped!
stomping on...

Chen Jie was shocked by this palm and retreated wildly, but the elder Shu was probably just testing him, so he didn't kill him. Chen Jie retreated more than ten steps before stopping.

Elder Shu nodded slightly and said, "You have some skills. You can reach the level of Hua Jin just by practicing horizontal training. It seems that you were also gifted back then."

Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please forgive me for making fun of you. When I was young, I was ignorant and broke my leg in a duel. Since then, I have lost the desire to practice martial arts."

The elder said: "What a pity, if you practice the outside without practicing the inside, it will be in vain in the end."

Chen Jie said nothing, and Elder Shu casually said something sentimental, then said, "Okay, let's go."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Jie immediately helped Liu Caidie get on the car, then he whipped the horse and drove forward.

Watching the carriage go away, Elder Shu said, "Everyone, be careful. Chen Jiusi was hit by the blood of the Tang Sect and was seriously injured. He will definitely try to sneak out of the city. So everyone must pay attention to the vehicles coming and going. Don't fool around. You must check the carriage carefully like I did."

"Especially inside the car, under the car, including checking if there are any secret compartments in the car to prevent him from hiding inside. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

A group of soldiers immediately responded. Listening to the words behind them, Liu Caidie in the car said, "These idiots, can't they see that we are the ones running away?"

Chen Jie was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "If they could tell, they would have arrested us long ago. Okay, sit tight."

Drive, drive, drive...

Chen Jie drove away.

After Chen Jie left, the entire Lantian County and the surrounding county governments were still under martial law, and all vehicles passing through were strictly checked, but nothing was found. It was as if Chen Jiusi and the ugly girl had disappeared out of thin air.

More than ten days passed like this, and the people who blocked Lantian County gathered together.

Although Qi Chun was very reluctant, he still said: "We have searched every household and caravan in Lantian County. This time, we mobilized more than 50,000 local troops and turned the entire Lantian upside down, but still couldn't find any trace of Chen Jiusi and others."

"Do you have any other suggestions? Can Chen Jiusi and that ugly girl just disappear out of thin air?"

After saying this, everyone was silent. After a while, Changxuzi said, "Is there any place missing? Could it be that he hid in the forest?"

As soon as this was said, the guards of Prince Qi's Palace said, "It's impossible. We have dispatched a total of 10,000 people to search the mountains. It can be said that the mountains near Lantian County have been dug deep. It is absolutely impossible for Chen Jiusi to hide in the mountains and forests."

"What about the farmers in the city and the village?"

The same guard said, "Our people first guarded the city gates and checked everyone. There was no sign of Chen Jiusi, nor the ugly girl you mentioned. We also sent people to check every door, but no sign of Chen Jiusi or the ugly girl was found."

"What about the exit from the city?"

At this time, Ming Yuzhen of Tang Sect asked, and as soon as this was said, Elder Shu said: "All the main roads out of Lantian have been blocked, and Chen Jiusi can't slip away from under our noses."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Chun frowned and said, "That's strange. We have searched all possible hiding places in Lantian County, but there is no trace of Chen Jiusi, and he hasn't left the city yet. Could this person just disappear out of thin air?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Indeed, how could this person disappear out of thin air?
But he did not disappear out of thin air. They set up a tight net and searched almost every door in the entire Lantian area, but they could not find any trace of Chen Jiusi. Where could this person have gone?

Isn't this strange?

Thinking of this, everyone's faces were full of confusion.

But at this moment, Elder Hua suddenly said, "If you really can't find any trace of Chen Jiusi, is it possible that Chen Jiusi has died in some corner of Lantian? Or even been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, so we can't find him?"

This?
After Elder Hua finished speaking, everyone fell into a state of deep thought. Qi Chun looked at the second master of the Tang Sect and said, "Master Tang, Chen Jiusi was hit by your Tang Sect's unique skill, Blood Devouring. Do you think he died in a ravine? What are the chances of his survival?"

Tang Feng was silent after hearing this, and then he said, "Blood Devouring Poison is one of the three unique skills of my Tang Sect."

"So far, there has only been one person who survived the poisoning in the past thousand years, but that person ended up with a lifelong disability and couldn't move, so I think the probability of his death is still very high."

"However, what Chen Jiusi practiced was the Three Divine Arts of the Human Emperor, which has been passed down for a long time. I am afraid that there is something magical about it, which saved Chen Jiusi's life."

"If everyone really can't find him, then I feel there is a high probability that he is dead."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and then they looked at each other. They felt that what Tang Feng said made sense. After all, in the past thousand years, only one person had been poisoned by the blood-sucking poison and survived. How could Chen Jiusi be so lucky to be the second person in the past thousand years?

And I heard from Tang Feng that the man ended up with a lifelong disability. How could such a person escape their net?

So after eliminating all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility left, that is, Chen Jiusi is dead, and has even been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

Thinking in this way, everyone felt more and more that the possibility in the river was very high.

Just as everyone was thinking this, there was a sudden sound of galloping horses outside, and a guard dressed in royal attire came running in. He entered the room, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, the prince has ordered us to go north to Guangmingding immediately. The imperial army has entered our Shaanxi territory."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stood up immediately. Qi Chun looked at everyone and said, "Okay, since the prince has given the order, Chen Jiusi will not be captured regardless of whether he is dead or alive. Gather the troops immediately and head north to Guangmingding."

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists in agreement.

At this time, under the Guangming Summit, a carriage creaked over. In the carriage, Chen Jie looked at the towering mountains in front of him. In the clouds, Chen Jie seemed to see several buildings, which gave people a majestic feeling, as if they were in heaven.

This is the holy place for all Zoroastrians, Guangmingding!

"Hey, Miss Liu, don't sleep anymore, we've reached Guangmingding!"

Chen Jie said to Liu Caidie who was in the car behind him.

It’s Chinese New Year before I know it. I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Snake and prosperity all the way~
