Chapter 110 Capture

Wang Chongxi was a trusted eunuch of Emperor Zhaoning. It was unusual to come all the way to Quanzhou this time, not to mention that he had a secret decree to announce. Qu Chunfeng glanced at him and said, "In that case, please come in and announce the decree."

A large group of imperial guards were on duty outside, plus people from Tianyimen, and the government office was completely sealed in an instant. Not even a fly could fly out. Qu Chunfeng and Wang Chongxi entered the inner room, and were about to kneel down to listen to the order, but were stopped byThe latter quickly helped him up: "Master, please get up quickly. Your Majesty has specifically asked you to do so. There is no need to be polite. Just stand and listen to the order."

When Qu Chunfeng heard this, he stood up straight. He was not flattered at all. He lowered his eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty, please read it out if you have any secret decree."

When the clinker Wang Chongxi heard this, a trace of worry flashed across his face, and his brows furrowed. He stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "The Imperial Master should know the purpose of your majesty's secret decree. It is the whereabouts of the shark. It has been revealed. It has already been revealed."His Majesty was already ill a few days ago, and he relied on rare treasures to survive every day. He was holding his breath and couldn't wait any longer, so he sent us to assist the imperial master."

After saying this, he gave a long salute and took out a secret letter from his sleeve. Emperor Zhaoning was now so ill that he couldn't even pick up a pen. The content was naturally written by his subordinates and stamped on it.

It is a serious matter for the monarch to be seriously ill, regardless of the young age of the prince. Nowadays, the Southern Barbarians and Beidi are watching eagerly. Once the national mourning is spread, the situation will be overturned. Therefore, only a few people know about Emperor Zhaoning's illness. He sent Wang Chongxi here this time for nothing more thanHe became suspicious of everyone in Tianyimen. He was obviously trying to help, but he was actually following them.

Qu Chunfeng glanced at the secret letter hastily, thinking of the large group of Imperial Guards outside, his fingertips tightened silently, but nothing could be seen on his face: "Since Your Majesty has a decree, I should obey it, but the sea is very rough.", I’m afraid that the king and the father-in-law can’t bear it, so why not rest in the post house and leave the rest to me.”

Wang Chongxi actually refused: "Our family's life has long been your Majesty's. A little trouble is nothing. I ask the Imperial Master to seize the time and find the sharks to refine the elixir of longevity and return to life as soon as possible. Otherwise, Master Hong will be in Beijing."I can’t see you for a long time, don’t you miss me?”

The last sentence is a vague threat.

Qu Chunfeng's eyes turned cold for a moment when he heard this. He stared at Wang Chongxi expressionlessly until the smile on his face froze, and then he looked away: "When do you want to go, Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Chongxi bowed: "Of course, the faster, the better. Today is the best, and tomorrow is fine."

Qu Chunfeng said with no emotion at all, "Then let's set off tomorrow."

After saying this, he turned around and left the room without giving Wang Chongxi any face.

Ming Xuan and everyone from Tianyi Clan were guarding the outside. When they saw Qu Chunfeng coming out, they hurriedly greeted him. He wanted to ask something, but he was afraid that people would be distracted, so he could only lower his voice and asked worriedly: "Senior brother, everything is okay.Bar?"

Qu Chunfeng shook his head and said nothing, but looked at the imperial guards who were watching them secretly: "How many people did Wang Chongxi bring?"

Ming Xuan: “Too many, countless.”

Qu Chunfeng: "..."

Although everyone in the Tianyi Sect is blessed by mystical arts, they are still mortal bodies after all. It is possible to compare one person to ten, but it is difficult to compare one person to a hundred. If there is a conflict between the two parties, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose. Qu ChunfengWe can only wait and see what happens.

Early the next morning, Wu Xianrong, under Wang Chongxi's instructions, ordered his troops, led hundreds of men who were proficient in water skills, and a group of internal experts to the seaside, and asked the naval admiral to mobilize dozens of warships.Waiting on the water, only telling the outside world that the emperor wants to pray for blessings, and everyone else avoids it.

Wang Chongxi walked out of the carriage with the help of his guards. He stumbled a little when he landed because he was not used to the soft sand. His crimson robes were blown by the sea breeze, and his thin body was like a stick in the wind and rain.The swaying dead grass will be blown away at any time.

He hurriedly stabilized his gauze hat, looked at Qu Chunfeng who was riding a horse in front of him, and raised his voice and asked: "May I ask the Imperial Master, how should we search when the weather is so bad?"

Mingxuan thought to himself that this old guy didn't know how to catch sharks, so why did he come here, so he thought he was so powerful? It turned out that he was just a worthless person, so he whispered to Qu Chunfeng: "Senior brother, ignore him..”

Qu Chunfeng turned over and dismounted, his robes flying. He said to Wang Chongxi: "Since we are looking for the shark, we naturally look for it at sea. If my father-in-law is feeling unwell, he can wait on the shore."

Wang Chongxi naturally refused. He stepped forward with the support of the guards. As if he could not detect Qu Chunfeng's distant attitude, he smiled and said: "It's okay, old slave. I will go with the Imperial Master after boarding the boat.", we must complete His Majesty’s instructions as soon as possible.”

As he was talking, a loud cry suddenly came from the distance. Qu Chunfeng looked around and saw a large number of officers and soldiers arguing with a group of villagers. They were pushing and shoving. He frowned and looked at Wu Xianrong:"what happened?"

Wu Xianrong met his almost sharp gaze, stammering and speechless. In the cold weather, he was actually sweating all over his head. While wiping it with his sleeves and robes, he said: "Go back... back to the national teacher... I will go back to the official position."...Your Majesty..."

Upon seeing this, Wang Chongxi said directly: "Our family ordered Mr. Wu to do this. It is no small matter to search for the traces of the sharks for your majesty. We must not let unimportant people get in the way. These fishermen live by the sea and refuse to leave, so we can onlyThere is no other way to drive them away by force, so I ask the National Master for your understanding."

Those officers and soldiers were used to being rampant. They said they were driving them away, but they were more like bandits robbing homes. After rushing in, they smashed everything and took whatever valuables they saw as their own.If they didn't comply, the two parties started to quarrel.

"Where is the law of heaven! Where is the law of heaven! We live well here, but you rushing in without any explanation, how are you different from bandits who burn, kill and loot?!!"

Hearing this, the leader of the team directly kicked the old man who was speaking to the ground, and said with a sneer: "This world belongs to the emperor. Now the imperial court has an order. Your Majesty will worship the sky. No one is allowed to interfere. If any of you stop him, he will be killed immediately."Earth righteousness!"

After saying that, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a loud sound and pointed it straight at the old man on the ground. At this moment, a girl suddenly cried and rushed over to block the blade: "Don't kill my father!"

It was A Ying.

When Captain Zheng saw her beautiful face, he didn't get angry, but laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that there is such a handsome woman in this small fishing village. If you want to save your father's life, you can do it for me, master."How is your wife?"

After saying that, he directly pulled her up from the ground and tried to do something frivolous. A Ying was so frightened that she cried and struggled, and even her hairpin and scarf fell off. Lin Bo anxiously wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by the other officers and soldiers.He kicked his feet to the ground.

Qi Zheng was holding A Ying tightly with a lustful look: "What a spicy little girl, just what I like. If you are still ignorant, don't blame me for being ruthless and tearing off your clothes right here!"

After speaking, he was about to reach out, but unexpectedly, a flash of white light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a long sword stabbed at him with the force of breaking bamboo. The cold edge of the sword cut off four of his fingers in an instant.The captain was unable to dodge, and his face was spattered with blood. When he looked closely, he saw that his fingers had been cut off completely. He screamed in panic, covered his hands and rolled on the ground in pain.

The sword sank into the ground not far away with a whoosh, and the sticky blood slid down the sword's body, soaking the sand below.

The officers and soldiers on the side were dumbfounded when they saw this. They reacted and drew their swords one after another, wanting to see who was so bold as to kill the imperial official. However, they saw a man in white with a frosty face walking over surrounded by people, nodding and bowing behind him.It was their governor.

Those with sharp eyes had already recognized Qu Chunfeng, and they all knelt down and saluted: "I've seen the Imperial Master, I've seen the Governor!"

Wu Xianrong just wanted to rush forward and kick each of them to death. He had been flirting all day long, but at the critical moment, he would lose control and follow behind Qu Chunfeng. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

Qu Chunfeng stepped over, pulled out his long sword from the ground, flicked it with his hand, and the blood stains on it fell to the ground. Then he sheathed the sword neatly with a clang, his face was cold, and his voice was deep: "You guysIs this how you drive away the villagers?”

Captain was holding his hands and hunched over on the ground. He was about to faint from the pain. He couldn't say anything. However, his subordinates were clever. With a casual glance, they found a shark bead that accidentally fell from A Ying's body on the ground., hurriedly crawled over and picked it up. Seeing that the quality was extraordinary, in order to get away with it, he casually said: "National Master Mingjian, National Master Mingjian, the subordinates found that this woman's identity was suspicious, so they investigated her more. The value of this beadLiancheng, how could she be a poor fisherman, she must have been stolen from a wealthy family!"

After saying that, she knelt on the ground, raised her hand high, and held the light blue Mermaid teardrop in front of Qu Chunfeng. Aying's face turned pale when she saw this, and her blood flowed all over her body. Her legs went soft and she fell to the ground with a pop.After falling to the ground, he reacted and rolled around to grab it back: "No! My dad found it from the shells when he went to sea, not stole it!"

The officers and soldiers on the side put their sabers directly on her neck and scolded: "You must not make mistakes in front of the national master."

Qu Chunfeng frowned tightly, fearing that the whereabouts of the shark would be revealed, and he was about to destroy the shark teardrop. Unexpectedly, he was a step slower, and an old hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and took the bead.

Wang Chongxi had been serving Emperor Zhaoning since he was a child, and he knew exactly what was stored in the treasury. But when he saw him holding the shark's teardrop and looking at it carefully for a moment, he suddenly said: "Why do you think this is not an ordinary slave?"pearl."

Qu Chunfeng closed his eyes indifferently: "The quality of the beads is better than the ones next to it, but it is not unusual. I have been here for a long time and have seen no less than ten of them."

Wang Chongxi was not that easy to fool, he laughed and shook his head: "The Imperial Master does not know something, but there is a difference between this shark weeping pearl and ordinary pearls. It is moon-white in color and has the shape of a teardrop. If I remember correctly,This bead is the same as the shark teardrops collected in the Chu Palace treasury."

After he finished speaking, he looked at A Ying, who was pale-faced, with a kind expression on his face: "Girl, you definitely didn't get this pearl from a shell, but from the tears of a shark."

Wang Chongxi said word by word: "You must have seen a shark."

A Ying shook her head in panic: "No, I don't know what you are talking about. What kind of sharks are you talking about? My father picked up these beads from the sea."
