My enemies became my companions

Chapter 526 The Little Fox Remains Silent (Three-in-One Extra Chapter)

Zhu E looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, his face dazed. It had been more than a year since they last met, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Chen Yi smiled at her gently and called slowly: "Zhu E...long time no see."

The enchanting woman stood still, took two steps, and fell forward.

"Sir, I'm in trouble... Seriously injured... cough cough."

Chen Yi was startled and hurriedly held her shoulders. He felt her pulse and found that her breathing was disordered. Then he heard her cough twice. He lowered his head and saw that her eyes were shining with a different light.

It turned out that she said this on purpose so that she could fall limply into his arms.

So... so sexy...

Chen Yi had been eating bland food for too long and was a little uncomfortable with it.

When she coughed lightly, her delicate body pressed closer to Chen Yi, and her movements were natural, making her seem as if she was extremely dependent on Chen Yi.

Chen Yi hugged her for a moment and said with a smile: "Zhu E, stop pretending."

Zhu E suddenly straightened up, without any embarrassment, and instead smiled playfully at Chen Yi.

"The prince... forget it, this is not the time to talk about this." Chen Yi was about to blurt out, but he quickly stopped and asked, "Did you kill the governor?"

Wuchang Prefecture is the capital of Huguang. It is not difficult to predict that the Church of Light and Dark God would appear here, otherwise Chen Yi would not have used the alias Master Qin. He was a little surprised at Zhu E's appearance, but he had already imagined the scene.

What I just can't understand is why Zhu E would assassinate Governor Wang Fu.

According to Wei Wuque's intelligence, the Ming and An Sect is now joining forces with the White Lotus Sect and providing secret assistance.

Zhu E seemed to have guessed Chen Yi's confusion and said, "The White Lotus Sect can't accomplish anything great, so the leader ordered Zhu E to secretly create some trouble so that the Divine Sect can gather the hearts of the people who are in chaos."

Chen Yi suddenly realized, and after a little thought, he found that the choice of the Divine Religion was not difficult to understand.

The White Lotus Sect wreaked havoc in Huguang. The Ming and Dark God Sects were both considered evil cults by the government and were also confused with each other by ordinary people. They seemed to share the same honor and disgrace, but in fact they were only superficially close.

A sect like the White Lotus, which is a mixture of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and countless gods, is simply a slop bucket. It is indeed very contagious, but its doctrines are shallow and have little substance. If you can eat your fill, who would want to look at the contents of a slop bucket? Therefore, none of the Buddhists, Taoists, and Confucians like the White Lotus, let alone the Ming and Dark Gods, which place great emphasis on faith.

Moreover, there have been White Lotus rebellions in every dynasty. When they start, they often spread like wildfire, with tens of thousands of people rising up in rebellion. When they end, they are also defeated with great ease. The White Lotus doctrine itself determines that it can be highly inciting but cannot be perfectly organized.

While he was thinking, Zhu E suddenly said, "Sir, you just wanted to ask the prince?"

Chen Yi's throat was stuck, and he said: "Yes, tell me quickly..."

Zhu E's eyes flashed with cunning and he said, "I won't tell you."

She seemed angry but not really, and was not only trying to stir up people's hearts. She glanced elsewhere. Thick fog filled the air, and a raging fire swept across Mingyue Pavilion. Tongues of fire were rising from the black smoke. Chen Yi also realized that now was not the time to speak.

"Then..." Chen Yi looked into the distance: "You go with her first."

He paused because he suddenly heard a cold wind rolling through the streets and a strange chill seeping from the base of the walls. His whole soul shrank. Chen Yi let go of Dong Gong Ruoshu's hand and rushed to the alley entrance to cover them.

Zhu E didn't ask any more questions. He pulled up Miss Donggong without hesitation, and the two girls left first.

In less than a moment, a creepy voice was heard from the streets: "You are so brave, a living underworld official, protecting a demon."

A shadow as black as ink rolled in from the horizon. A black robe with cloud and thunder patterns hung down to the ground. The prosecutor Yin Yijian walked out slowly, his face cold with anger.

Chen Yi's eyes darkened, he took a step forward, and was about to kill without saying a word!
In his hand, he held a wooden stick with a three-inch sword energy emerging from the tip, and he stabbed Yin Yijian directly in the face.

Yin Yijian had anticipated this, and he stood still. A judge's pen suddenly appeared in his hand, and the inspection book appeared. The tip of the pen touched the paper, and words appeared quickly.

The cold wind turned into two flying swords, soared into the air, and shot away at lightning speed following the direction of the words.

Chen Yi turned his wrist, the sword intent was released, and the flying sword turned with the stick. He swung it again and flew towards Yin Yijian.

Yin Yijian's expression remained unchanged, and he wrote another word "scatter". The sword instantly disintegrated. Suddenly, he saw Chen Yi approaching him in the blink of an eye. He was shocked, and he pulled back and wrote quickly with the tip of the pen.

The end of the sword pierced the judge's left shoulder, blood spurted out, Yin Yijian hurriedly pulled it away, fortunately Chen Yi only had a wooden stick in his hand, so the killing power was greatly reduced.

After the handwriting on the book was finished, some ink splashed up. Chen Yi's hands and feet suddenly seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds, and he had to fall to the ground, leaving deep cracks under his feet.

[The humble official Chen Yi has offended his superiors and disobeyed their orders. According to our underworld law, he should be imprisoned and tried.]

Chen Yi suddenly opened his third eye and saw the words written on the book.

The duty of the Inspection Office is to inspect the City Gods of the four directions, examine and question matters, and supervise officials. The Inspection Book in his hand is a means to curb the Yin officials. Its principle is similar to the Spring and Autumn Register, and it is also like Ma Liang's magic pen. The words written on it will have a certain effect. It is useless to living people, but it has a natural suppression and restraint on Yin officials. Now that he is the City God of Wa City and has the identity of a Yin official, he is naturally subject to its constraints.

Chen Yi's whole body shook, the sword intent swung out, pushing away the weight of his limbs, and taking another step.

"How dare the evil official take action?!"

Yin Yijian shouted loudly, and the judge's pen roared like thunder, and he wrote down [urgently summon the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, General Gan Liu, and the Black and White Impermanence for assistance].

The wind suddenly blew quickly, a cold light flashed, and a sickle hooked towards Chen Yi from behind. Chen Yi did not stop, grabbed the sickle with his bare hands and swung it behind him. The bull-headed ghost general who had just broken through the wind was instantly hit on the head and fell to the ground.

While he was killing a ghost general, other ghost generals appeared one after another and surrounded him. Chen Yi rushed towards them and saw that behind the ghost generals, there were endless ghost soldiers pouring out, swirling around Chen Yi like a storm.

The black smoke was billowing, and the wind was blowing in waves, but it was still pouring in, making the eye of the storm smaller and smaller. Chen Yi only had a wooden stick in his hand. Although he had sword energy and the Golden Light Technique, he had no sword or talisman, so his killing power was greatly reduced. In addition, Yin Yijian kept writing, wanting to write him to death here.

The most crucial thing is that as time goes by, Jiyuan from Baolian Temple will definitely come here. It is hard to say whether the two of them can escape safely by working together then.

All he had to do was to fight his way out of the encirclement.

Yin Yijian also understood this, he just needed to delay.

blah blah blah...

Suddenly, in the alley, there were the sounds of hurried footsteps and armor rubbing against each other.

It was the guards who saw the fire in the city and were mobilized. Seeing that Chen Yi was about to break through the encirclement of the ghost soldiers and ghost generals several times, Yin Yijian was slightly shocked, but at this moment he was determined to punish the thief once the reinforcements arrived!

He was about to shout out an order.

The next moment, Chen Yi climbed up the wall in two or three steps and shouted, "The White Lotus Evil Man killed the Governor! The Ghost Exorcist killed the Governor!"

Yin Yijian's judge's pen suddenly stopped in mid-air, his ears buzzed like waves, and his mind stopped in shock.

Has he become a white lotus evil man?
In the distance, the commander of the guards marched over with his troops, their iron armor scales gleaming with fire.

"Capture him!" The commander's roar tore through the night.

The White Lotus Sect was originally considered a cult by the government, and its evil methods of using evil soldiers and generals were extremely common. The Valley of Corpses was one example. Moreover, they often disguised themselves as Taoists. The commander made a prompt decision and ordered the capture of Yin Yijian, and rushed to the front.

The moment the blade pierced through the ghost soldiers and generals, Chen Yi jumped up on the broken tiles of the eaves. The tiles shattered under his feet, and he saw that Yin Yijian was approached by the commander of the guards.

“Wait…I…”

A cold light shone down like a full moon, interrupting Yin Yijian's words.

"what!"

Yin Yijian took the blow head-on, and the cold wind blew, causing his wound to split again. He quickly retreated, spitting blood:

"I am a close confidant of Anshan Gong Su Hongtao, not the White Lotus Sect, not the White Lotus Sect..."

The knife struck again, even faster than before.
"Asshole, don't we know who is colluding with the White Lotus Sect?!"

..........
"This revenge must be avenged!"

Yin Yijian's roar before the black fog dissipated was wrapped in a gloomy wind, as if it was still lingering in his ears.

Chen Yi cleaned his ear and the earwax was ejected.

Yin Yijian was the judge of the Procuratorate, and his true body was a yin body. The Taoist's yang body died, and his yin body was injured, but not to the point of being completely destroyed. However, even if the words of revenge were not empty words, they were almost as good as farts.

Black smoke was still lingering in the distance and there was still a fire in Mingyue Pavilion. Taking advantage of the dark night, Chen Yi turned left and right, and after making sure that no one was chasing him, he returned to the private courtyard of the inn.

As soon as the door was opened, three beautiful figures came towards me at the same time. They had been waiting in the yard.

Yin Tingxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no blood on his body. She restrained herself and prepared to walk over quickly. A fragrant breeze blew past her, and she saw Zhu E pass by her and rush into Chen Yi's arms.

"Official!"

The little fox stopped and didn't know whether to take a step back or forward.

Chen Yi hugged Zhu E, and the latter buried her cheek in his chest, as if trying hard to share his body temperature.

"It's okay, we've gotten rid of them all. Miss Donggong brought you here."

In fact, there was no need to ask more. The silly girl had never been on guard against others. Besides, Zhu E had a close relationship with him, so he would definitely take her back to the private courtyard of the inn as soon as possible.

"I'm glad that you're okay, sir." Zhu E said in a low voice.

Chen Yi let her go and looked at the East Palace girl, who was staring at him curiously, as if she was learning seduction techniques. He turned his eyes to the little fox and saw that she was a little embarrassed. Chen Yi let go of Zhu E, walked over and touched her head, "Go, order us a few cups of tea."

Yin Tingxue's back relaxed, she nodded, looked at Zhu E deeply, and then quickly walked into the hall.

Zhu E was a little puzzled. When she turned around again, Chen Yi had already held her hand and said softly, "Come on, sit down and talk slowly."

Her body softened and she leaned softly in his arms, her breast touching his, and it felt soft and tender even through the fabric. Chen Yi raised his toes slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

After entering the hall, Yin Tingxue went to light the heater and was not there for the time being. Chen Yi turned around and saw Dong Gong Ruoshu was about to come in, so he said directly: "Go back to your room, we have something to talk about."

"Oh." Miss Donggong nodded, turned around and left without refusing.

Looking back at Zhu E again, Chen Yi saw the ground not far away from the corner of his eye, so he grabbed it casually, blocked the old saint's perception, and then put his arm around her waist.

Zhu E let out a soft moan and naturally fell limply into his arms.

"Aunt Zhu..." Chen Yi called softly.

Zhu'e smiled, and the husband still followed the prince's example and called her Aunt Zhu as before.

Zhu E couldn't help but feel that he and the prince looked a bit like a couple, but then he started to laugh. Was it because the lover saw beauty in the woman, or was it because the aunt loved him so much? They were so connected by blood, it was hard to tell.

Chen Yi originally wanted to give her a kiss, but when he saw the little fox coming towards him with a heater and hot water, he felt embarrassed, so he patted Zhu E's waist and asked her to sit up straighter.

The plump and soft buttocks fell on his thighs. Chen Yi looked at her for a moment and said, "It's been a long time since we last met... I have a lot to say. Well, let's talk about business first. How many people does the Divine Religion have in the city?"

"Not many. We have dispersed to several places in Huguang, mainly in Jinghu South, which is the Changsha area."

"The White Lotus's hinterland... they are moving. Are you concentrating there to receive their legacy?"

Zhu E took the opportunity to praise him and said, "Sir, you are calm and you have thought of it right away. Yes, the White Lotus Sect caused chaos in Huguang and slaughtered all the Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries. Buddhism and Taoism in Jinghu area are in decline, and it is close to Nanwei. It is natural for my Holy Sect to fill this gap."

"Are you not afraid of the soldiers?"

"The soldiers only know how to suppress bandits, and they don't have enough rice to distribute." Zhu E paused and further explained: "When the White Lotus Sect swept across Huguang, all the granaries that could be opened to distribute grain had been opened. The soldiers could only distribute military rations, but how could they dare to distribute them? Even if they robbed the rich to help the poor, how much could they rob?

After they transfer grain for disaster relief, we will relocate all the households that can be relocated. Nanwei has a small population and a lot of land, so we will make a lot of money this time."

Migrating population or abducting civilians during wartime were extremely common. At the beginning of the founding of the Dayu Kingdom, when the bloody battle between Jin and Yu in Taiyuan took place, the two sides fortified their cities and abducted people from each other, resulting in nine out of ten houses in Taiyuan being empty, and no roosters crowing for a thousand miles. The situation did not recover for decades.

Chen Yi nodded slightly and thought further.

It was a consensus among the government and the public that Nanwei had rebellious intentions. When the King of Annan approached the capital a year ago, everyone was on high alert. At that time, Dayu appointed Qin Changzhi, the ancestor of the Qin family, to guard Xifan. On the one hand, it was to consolidate the southwestern barrier, and on the other hand, because of his great martial arts and abundant troops, he was feared by Emperor Gaozu, so the control over the vassal people was weakened. However, man proposes, God disposes. Qin Changzhi married a princess of the Miao ethnic group, and divorced her for this, completely cutting off the power of the capital. To this day, the Annan royal family has been rooted in the Miao ethnic group for generations and has dominated the entire Nanwei.

In this regard, the emperors of Dayu have tried to reduce the power of the vassal states and cut down on the military. However, Sichuan and Shu were in the hands of the Western Jin Dynasty. If Nanwei rebelled, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house. The Western Jin Dynasty had a line from Sichuan and Shu to Nanwei that went straight into the southern hinterland of Dayu. Therefore, if they wanted to eliminate the country of Annan, they had to take Sichuan and Shu first. Due to the military strength of the Western Jin Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties could only sigh and do nothing.

Yin Tingxue scalded the tea bowl with hot water, and started to make tea with her bare hands. The sound of the tea breaking could be heard.

She lowered her head to look at her tea, trying not to look that way.

Chen Yi continued to communicate with Zhu E: "Aunt Zhu, were you also responsible for assassinating Su Hongtao?"

"No, we only sent four people this time, intending to see if there was any chance, to try our luck. Well, you see, we really did get it."

Chen Yi then realized that there were actually two groups of people behind the assassination. One group was Zhu E and others, who were waiting for an opportunity and taking advantage of the situation. They would take action when they had a chance and run away when they didn't. The other group had been planning for a long time and were fully prepared and had made great efforts.

"Su Hongtao... Of course we want to kill him. Killing him will cause trouble for the White Lotus Sect. When the imperial court sends the imperial guards to suppress the bandits, they can protect us from the attacks. But I think this target is too big and I suspect it's a trap. So we have to settle for the next best thing and kill the governor."

"That's right. The governor died at the banquet, so it's hard for Su Hongtao to be blamed. Moreover, he had previously sidelined someone, so he had a strong motive to do this. He can't stand the court's investigation. After this incident, Su Hongtao must have a rift with the White Lotus Sect."

"Unfortunately, it's not enough...Su Hongtao won't turn against the White Lotus Sect right now." Zhu E said with regret.

"We have to eat one meal at a time, and walk one road at a time, and we still have a lot of time."

"We?" Zhu E asked in surprise, "You want to kill Su Hongtao too?"

Chen Yi smiled but said nothing.

Zhu E put his face against his chest and murmured, "It seems that my uncle and I are of the same mind. No wonder they always say that an uncle is three feet away, while an uncle-in-law is five feet close."

Her body also followed closely, Chen Yi's breathing became a little rapid, mist rose in the hall, and the warmth was lingering. Yin Tingxue finished smoking the cup,

Concentrate on boiling the tea powder with boiling water, add water three times, and the green sleeves set off like crane wings.

The bamboo-handled tea whisk suddenly broke the surface of the water.

Chen Yi felt a little relieved, and after hesitating for a long time, he still hesitated to speak.

Zhu E raised his face slightly and said with a smile, "Sir, you want to ask...about the mother and daughter?"

Chen Yi nodded, trying his best to appear at ease, "I really can't hide it from you."

Zhu E chuckled several times, then lay softly in Chen Yi's arms, but did not say a word.

Finally, Chen Yi couldn't help but asked, "She...how did she treat her?"

He wanted to ask Qin Qingluo if he liked her, but he gave up after a bitter smile. Not to mention whether he liked her or not, just having a meal to eat was already a sign of Qin Qingluo's deep affection for her.

"The prince...she seldom looks at Yue'er, but she really likes her daughter." Zhu'e paused and smiled, "She always has a dark face every time she sees Yue'er..."

Chen Yi suddenly recalled the hatred and alienation Qin Qingluo had shown him when they were together. At that time, she treated him with a bad face, mocking him or getting angry. He didn't notice it before, but now he misses her inexplicably.

"My daughter..."

"Well, she is a big fat girl. She has never been hungry."

"That's great, they are mother and daughter..." Chen Yi's heart softened, staring at Zhu E, as if looking through his eyes at her memories from not long ago, "I...actually like them, really like them."

The tea whisk beat the boiling tea in a spiral shape. Yin Tingxue used more force in her movements to make the tea more bitter.

Over there, the two were still in love.

"I will not take this message back. You have to say it yourself."

"In person? You want me to tell Qin Qingluo in person?"

"Well, isn't it?"

"…It's not impossible… As long as she doesn't make sarcastic remarks… Forget it, I'm thick-skinned, I can bear it no matter what."

Zhu E chuckled twice, raised his lips and kissed Chen Yi's neck.

Chen Yi had no place to put the tenderness in his heart. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his head tilted down, and he was about to give a kiss.

"Tea is ready." Yin Tingxue said suddenly.

Chen Yi turned around and saw Yin Tingxue standing in front of him holding a tea bowl and raising it forward.

"Well, let me try it." Chen Yi stopped and took the tea.

Yin Tingxue immediately handed another bowl of tea to Zhu E. Without saying a word, she went back and ordered a bowl of tea for herself.

His gaze fell back on Zhu E, and Chen Yi continued to ask: "Speaking of which, I am pretending to be a member of the Divine Religion in the White Lotus Religion, and now I am using the alias Qin Ke."

"Ah... Sir, are you taking the child's surname?"

“We can’t let Qingluo take the child’s surname.” Chen Yi agreed with a smile.

"Then we have to give birth to a child with the surname Chen first..."

In the hall, the two of them drank tea and chatted slowly, mostly about Nan Wei. Chen Yi couldn't wait to hear more about Qin Qingluo and her daughter. Every insignificant little thing sparkled like a pearl, and Zhu E was happy to share. As they chatted, the sky became darker.

Under the light, Zhu'e's face becomes more beautiful.

Her voice was naturally charming and not concealed, as if the fisherman knew that the bait was plump and delicious, and just needed to wait for the fish to take the bait. In front of Chen Yi's eyes, a bit of white greasy was looming. He swallowed his saliva, smiled and said, "It's getting late, and there is still curfew. Tonight...why don't you stay for a night?"

Yin Tingxue glanced at him, suddenly felt sleepy, and quietly went back to her room to take the bed.

"I want to stay here too, but it's too late. I have to go back quickly, otherwise my brothers and sisters in the church will worry about it and ruin the arrangement."

Yin Tingxue suddenly didn't feel so sleepy anymore and came out again.

On the eve of separation, Zhu'e was reluctant to leave and said that he wanted to go back quickly, but he kept lingering. The sky was dark, the waning moon was in the sky, the fire in the distant building had been extinguished, and the silence spreading from a corner of the city enveloped Wuchang. We were parting today, and even though I knew that we would meet again, and even if I had to be away for a day or two, Zhu'e was still worried.

But she had to go anyway. She didn't say goodbye to Chen Yi, but turned to Yin Tingxue and smiled, "Sister, I'm sorry for neglecting you. I didn't even say a few words to you."

She said this deliberately just to have an excuse to do it again next time, and the girl could hear it.

Yin Tingxue said "hmm" in a slightly indifferent tone, and then saw Chen Yixiang seeing Zhu E off.

Tonight,
The little fox didn't bother him at all, but just felt jealous silently...
