Chapter 691: Learned A Craft
Hearing this fluent prairie dialect, the big man in black asked doubtfully, "General Cheng Ji sent a third person?"
The companion shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Just the two of us."
The big man in black asked suspiciously; "Then who was talking just now?"
The two of them froze at the same time, then turned their heads to look, and then saw an old man with a sense of demeanor and a kind smile on his face.
At this moment, the hearts of both of them are cold...
When did this old Taoist float behind them?
Moreover, why does he also speak grassland dialect?
The big man in black suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "You...you are that old Taoist priest from Chu?"
Priest Chunyang said with an amiable smile: "Yes."
The companion of the big man in black asked, "You...how can you speak grassland dialect?"
Taoist Chunyang said: "When Poor Dao was young, he used to travel around the world and visited all over Kyushu. Is it strange to go to your grassland for a stroll and learn something on the way back?"
The big man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Since he found out, don't talk nonsense with him, do it!"
...
"what!"
"ah!"
...
After exhaling, Taoist Chunyang looked at the two people who were lying on the ground dead and alive, and sighed: "Why didn't the grassland send a few people with high martial arts skills over? Pindao can still exercise his muscles and bones, alas... ..."
Tianshuzi came out and looked at the two strong men lying on the ground in surprise and said, "The grassland people came here this time to..."
Taoist Master Chunyang said, "It's a pity that it's too big and conspicuous to steal the gunpowder formula."
Tian Shuzi gritted his teeth and said, "It's simply a wolf's ambition! Such people, why does my uncle want to spare their lives?"
Taoist Chunyang said, "God has the virtue of loving life."
Tianshuzi laughed dryly, "Uncle Shi has no outsiders here."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Chunyang finally opened his mouth and said: "Didn't the pill furnace blow up a corner of the pill room during the pill refining this afternoon? We must give the wicked a chance to reform."
Tian Shuzi swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then... what if they can't fix it?"
Priest Chunyang snorted coldly and said, "Poverty Taoist, just use them as pillars on top!"
...
five days later
In the post house
Agula looked at the two people who were limping, lost a lot of weight, and their clothes were still a bit torn, and said in surprise, "You... where have you been these few days?"
Ever since the two of them didn't come back that day, Agula felt in his heart that it was broken, maybe he was discovered!
However, the Chu court did not give a warning, nor did they have any news about the arrest of their people in the grassland, so it should not have been discovered by the Chu court.
Since they were not found, but they did not come back, this made Agula and Wanyan Chengji very puzzled. They even thought that these two guys didn't dare to go and ran away secretly, right?
The mission has been searching secretly for the past three days, but it has been fruitless, making the entire mission restless.
Now that they are back, Agula is also relieved.
But...how did they become like this?
Looking at the two people who have been ruined like this, Agula was also shocked in his heart. What kind of inhuman abuse did they suffer these two days?
One of them said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Agula...that old Taoist...that old Taoist is simply inhuman!"
Agula asked in surprise: "You were really discovered?"
The other person nodded, and said in a crying voice: "I found out, just as we climbed over the courtyard wall, he didn't know when he stood behind us..."
Agula continued to ask: "Then what? The old Taoist didn't report it to the court?"
The former said: "No..."
Agula asked; "Then what did he ask you to do?"
The latter said: "He... He asked us to be a mason for him and help him repair the roof. What a big hole! It's so big!"
As he said that, the man in the black clothes that could barely cover his body was still gesturing with his hands, his face full of sadness.
The former nodded and said, "If we don't know how to repair, they won't give us food. They shouldn't let us run away... It took us four days to fix the roof!"
When the latter heard this, tears flowed down his face: "Really! We are all learning how to build a house by ourselves now..."
Now the appearance of these two brothers is that those who hear it are sad and those who hear it are crying, extremely sad.
The former took up the conversation and said, "If it wasn't for a big man in silk and satin who looks better than the second prince told them today, we...we might not be able to come back..."
Agula couldn't bear to look at it any longer: "Go down and have a good rest. It's not in vain to come to Chu State and learn some skills along the way... Go down, go down."
After the two brothers went down, Agula's face became complicated. They wanted to go to Chunyang Taoist Temple to steal the gunpowder formula, but they were discovered, but they didn't know that the Chu court asked them to repair the house for five days and let them go back. up...
Moreover, that old Taoist priest turned out to be such a master! According to what they said, facing the Daoist was powerless to fight back.
At this moment, Agula finally knew why the Chu court did not garrison troops at Chunyang Taoist Temple.
If the attackers can defeat the pure Yang Daoist, or escape the perception of the Pure Yang Daoist, what is the use of the garrison?
Wait, the tall guy who is better looking than the second prince in silk and satin told the Taoist priest?
This person... should be the Marquis of Anding County.
After the dust-cleaning banquet, they just gave their prairie mission a blow, but now they let the prairie people back?
Why did he do this?
Agula thought about it carefully, and found that although these two things were challenging Chu, there seemed to be only one difference between the two things.
That is, the matter of Daerba was put on Chu Guoming's face, and the Marquis of Anding County had to punish him according to law to make the people angry.
But this matter is different. No one in Chu State knows about stealing the gunpowder formula, except for a few Taoist priests. Besides, these two guys even repaired the roof of their house.
Since they have not been put on the bright side, the Marquis of Anding County can release them back.
If the news of stealing the gunpowder formula reached the imperial court, then their mission would definitely be kicked out because of their conspiracy to steal the secrets of the Chu court, or they would not have to be kicked out at all.
However, the Marquis of Anding County did not inform the court of Chu State, instead he reciprocated his kindness.
Could it be that he himself doesn't really want to fight against the grassland?
The things I did after the cleansing feast were actually forced?
At this time, since they had already sent goodwill to their grassland mission, Agula naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
After pondering for a while, Agula said, "Come here, prepare a generous gift."
