The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 125 Draw a sword to help

Baili Chenfeng said, "Brothers, although a good man is determined to defend his country, he may lose his life at any time on the battlefield.

We have been together for five years and have saved up some money, which we are dividing today.

Those who want to go to the battlefield can follow me, and those who don’t want to go can leave the village.”

Baili Chenfeng came to Bai Jinxin and clasped his fists: "Miss Bai, it's my brother who is ignorant. I'm sorry!"

Ye Qingyan took over the conversation: "You should be thankful that you met the War King, otherwise, you would all die."

Baili Chenfeng was shocked.

Leng Jiuyuan said: "She didn't lie to you, we should leave now."

Bai Jinxin and Baili Chenfeng never expected that this was the beginning of their fate.

Ye Qingyan and the other two started to walk down the mountain, and as they walked, they arrived directly at Zuixian Tower.

Bai Jinxin knelt down before Ye Qingyan: "Thank you, Master, for saving me."

Ye Qingyan helped her up and smiled calmly: "You are mine, of course I have to save you.

Fengjiu, take Jinxin to buy two sets of clothes, and change them completely from head to toe."

She took out a silver note and handed it to Fengjiu, who took it.

Bai Jinxin quickly refused: "Master, I still have some clothes at home, I can go back and get them."

Fengjiu pulled Bai Jinxin away and said, "Jinxin, you must follow the master from now on. If you don't dress well, others will think that the master is abusing you. Let's go."

Fengjiu takes Bai Jinxin out.

On the morning of the second day, Leng Jiuyuan said, "Xiao Qi, let's go to Pingyang City and send the prefect there."

Ye Qingyan came downstairs and brought Xue Li with her.

The Pingyang prefect was not very capable and had only been in office for so many years by buying off connections with money. Xue Li took office very easily.

Everything was arranged. After lunch, Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan strolled on the street.

Not long after walking, I heard a woman crying hysterically in front of me: "Son, where are you? Where are you?"

An old woman nearby sighed, "Kids are lost every day. When will this ever end?"

Ye Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Do children get lost here often?"

"Yes, they were all children under six years old. They were gone by the evening."

“Stolen?”

"It gets lost every night. It's such a sin. Widow Li only has this one child, and she got stolen."

"Did you report it to the official?"

"It's no use reporting it. Who knows when the bad guys will come."

Ye Qingyan said to Leng Jiuyuan, "Children have been missing one after another. The possibility of them being abducted is small. I guess some Taoist priest made them into an elixir of immortality."

"That's too abominable."

Ye Qingyan then asked her grandmother next to her, "Old lady, is there any Taoist temple nearby?"

The old lady was also a straightforward person. She knew at a glance that Ye Qingyan and the others were from outside the area.

She answered without hesitation, "Three miles outside the city, there is a Qingxin Temple. The Taoist priest there is kind.

Whenever the city encountered floods or natural disasters, he would donate some money from incense offerings and also set up porridge stalls outside the city to distribute porridge. He was a very kind person."

Ye Qingyan didn't believe any of this. She felt that there was something wrong with that Taoist priest.

Ye Qingyan looked at Zhan Wang: "Jiuyuan, are you interested in going to Qingxin Temple?"

Leng Jiuyuan glared at him, "Go."

Ye Qingyan pulled Leng Jiuyuan to a corner and teleported to Qingxin Temple three miles away.

The Qingxin Temple has flying eaves and pointed corners, which are simple and elegant, blending in with the surrounding mountains and trees.

There is a constant stream of believers in the Taoist temple.

A fresh air rushed towards me, and the aroma of incense and pine wood was refreshing.

Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes and holding magical instruments walked slowly outside the temple.

In front of the statue, some devout believers are kneeling and praying.

Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan walked towards an important place.

Before reaching the gate, a young Taoist priest came towards them. He clasped his hands together and said, "My two benefactors, this is a sacred place in the Taoist temple. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Ye Qingyan's eyes flickered as she smiled awkwardly: "It's rare for us to come here, and we have nothing to do, so we wanted to wander around. We'll leave right away."

She pulled Leng Jiuyuan back, and as they walked, the two of them disappeared.

They entered the space, and Ye Qingyan said, "There must be something wrong there. How can a Taoist temple be considered such an important place?"

The two walked towards the important place in space.

Not long after walking, I saw a door in front of me, guarded by three Taoists.

A Taoist priest asked, "I wonder when the master will come out. He has been in there for a while."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Master will come out as soon as he finishes refining the pill."

A Taoist priest pressed the button on the door and it creaked open.

He looked inside and heard the faint cry of a child.

He pressed the button again and the door closed again.

Ye Qingyan cursed, "These bastards, they really stole the child. Come on, let's go in."

She pressed the button, the door opened, and the two of them entered the secret passage.

There were steps leading down, lit by candles on both sides. When I reached the underground floor, I could hear the cries of children.

The door was open. In a room there was an alchemy furnace as tall as a person. A Taoist priest was sitting on a cushion, waving his whisk and talking in a high voice.

There were two little Taoist boys nearby, fanning the fire constantly to make it burn brighter.

There were more than a dozen iron cages next door, each locked with a child inside. Some of them were sleeping, and some were crying.

A Taoist boy asked, "Master, the medicine is almost done. When will you release the medicine boy?"

You two go wash the seven medicine boys clean and throw them into the alchemy furnace."

"Yes!"

When Ye Qingyan heard this, she hurried to the next room and waved her hand, and the children disappeared.

The two Taoist boys came to the house next door and when they looked inside, the children were gone.

They were completely confused and shouted, "Oh no! The child has run away!"

Their voices were so loud that the Taoist priest Wu who was standing next to the alchemy furnace heard them and immediately stood up and rushed to the next room.

Only the iron cage was left in the room. He glared with bloodshot eyes and began to roar, "Where's the medicine boy? Where's the medicine boy?"

A Taoist boy quickly explained: "Master, they were still there when I came in.

The outer door is locked, and there are brothers guarding it, so they can't escape at all."

Taoist Wu's eyes were filled with gloom. He said coldly, "It seems that someone is really trying to make things difficult for us and disrupt my efforts to refine the elixir of immortality. Let's go up there and take a look."

Ye Qingyan casually placed a time bomb on the wall of the corridor, which would explode at midnight.

She teleported and came to the outside of the hall with Leng Jiuyuan.

Taoist Priest Wu came to the outermost door and asked, "Is anyone coming here?"

The Taoist replied, "Master, only a man and a woman came here. I asked them to leave, and they left."

"Where did they go?" asked Taoist Wu again.

"I went to the main hall."

Taoist Wu's eyes were filled with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and his face was red with anger: "Since you want to meddle in other people's business, then you can come with a life and return without one."

He led the gatekeeper towards the main hall.

When they were almost at the main hall, the Taoist priest guarding the gate pointed at Ye Qingyan and said, "Master, these are the two of them."
