Chapter 109 Deadly Transformation
In the evening, the three of them went to a village.The village was about five miles away from the county seat, and seeing that it was about to get dark, the three of them had to find a place to live quickly.
Gu Huai had been weak and drowsy these days, so he had fallen into a drowsy sleep at this time, and was carried on his back by Jiushun.
Walking to the entrance of an alley, a dilapidated old inn appeared in front of me.Jiu Shun and Yan Chixia looked at each other, and stepped in at the same time.
Although the inn looked dilapidated and shabby, but in this foreign land, at dusk, it still made the two of them happy.
Sitting at the counter was a white-haired, skinny old man who was hunched over with his abacus at the moment, coughing heart-piercingly from time to time.When he saw a group of people coming in, he quickly stood up and squeezed out a warm smile: "Hey, guest officer, what do you want to eat?"
He noticed Gu Huai who was sleeping soundly on Jiushun's back, the smile on his face froze, and he asked, "This guest officer...is he sick or something?"
Jiu Shun smiled shyly, and said softly: "Our young master is too tired and fell asleep. By the way, shopkeeper, we will stay at the shop."
The old man looked distressed, and said: "This... the shop is already full of customers today."
Yan Chixia cupped her hands to the old man and said, "Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. The three of us don't know each other well here. Where can we go at night? If there is no room available, can you let us Make up a night in your lobby?"
Seeing that the old man was still very embarrassed, Yan Chixia took out a silver ingot from her bosom and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
When the old man saw Yin Zi, his eyes lit up shrewdly.He said: "Actually, there is still a vacant room in this store, but I am afraid that the guest officials will dislike it."
Yan Chixia smiled and said, "We don't choose where to live."
The old man sighed and said, "Since you insist on insisting, come with me."
After that, he took a lantern and walked into the courtyard.Yan Chixia and Jiu Shun followed behind the old man.
On the way, Yan Chixia casually chatted with the old man: "Shopkeeper, are you running this store by yourself? I think you are not too young, isn't your family with you?"
The old man coughed twice, laughed a few times, and said: "My wife left early, and left my son a few years after giving birth, leaving me and my son to depend on each other. Now that the son is old, he won't be able to come back for a year." home a few times, leaving his wife to live with me."
"What about your daughter-in-law?"
"Hey, don't mention it soon," the old man waved his hand and said, "I have been in poor health for these years, and I always suffer from this coughing problem. When I cough, I always make noise. My daughter-in-law despises me as a bad old man, so I am alone. He ran away and died outside that night."
Jiu Shun was surprised: "Dead? How did he die?"
"He committed suicide by taking rat poison. It seemed that he was polluted by a wild man outside. He couldn't think about it, so he took rat poison and died by himself."
Both Jiu Shun and Yan Chixia were silent, and after a long time, Jiu Shun said weakly: "I'm sorry, old man, my condolences."
The old man smiled and said: "It's not a hindrance. It's just that I have to tell you in advance that the body of my daughter-in-law has not been transported away, and it is still in the room. The room where you live is where my daughter-in-law's body is placed." house."
"Ah?" Jiu Shun stopped in his tracks, and stood there dumbfounded.
Yan Chixia slapped him on the forehead heartily, and said, "What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter, you, Big Brother Yan, are here."
So Jiu Shun was pushed into the room by Yan Chixia in a daze.
There was only one bed in the room, and a coffin was placed at the end of the bed, lying there in a miserable state.
After the shopkeeper left, Jiu Shun gently put Gu Huai on the bed, glanced warily at the coffin, and asked, "I think this house is very dark, is it really possible for us to live here?"
Yan Chixia sat down on the coffee table boldly, and said, "Then where else can I live? Could it be outside?"
Jiu Shun stopped talking, moved a pony seat and sat in front of the bed to guard Gu Huai.
Yan Chixia stepped forward suddenly, and the two brothers hugged Jiushun in a friendly way.Jiu Shun frowned and hid back, looked up at Yan Chixia, and asked, "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"
Yan Chixia smiled and took out a few ingots of silver from her bosom, and took Jiu Shun's hand to hand it to him.Jiu Shun was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hands, and said in a panic, "What are you doing? I dare not accept it. If the young master finds out, he will scold me to death!"
Yan Chixia laughed loudly and said, "You really listened to your young master, you can keep it and go see your father, your young master won't know."
Jiu Shun shook his head desperately and said, "I won't take it, I won't get paid for nothing, I haven't done anything, what do you give me money for?"
"I don't, I hope you will serve my virtuous brother wholeheartedly in the future." Seeing that Jiushun was still skeptical and hesitant, Yan Chixia stuffed it into his hand and said, "Hey, what a manly man! You can't be so indecisive. Let me tell you this, I will give money to my virtuous brother's personal servant. My brother has a soft temper and poor body, and he still needs you to take care of him."
Seeing that the hesitation on Jiu Shun's face gradually disappeared, Yan Chixia continued: "For example, Fu An, the servant who was by your young master's side before, I also gave him money, and I paid back a lot of money. There was another time when you The young master found out, hahaha, it's okay to be found out, isn't it?"
Jiu Shun put the money into his pocket, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "That's really... Thank you Brother Yan for your trouble."
"Hey, don't get in the way, don't get in the way," Yan Chixia patted Jiu Shun on the back, "You just have to remember, you're welcome with Big Brother, just come to Brother if you have anything to do!"
Jiu Shun smiled and nodded.
"Hey, brother, are you sleepy now?"
"I'm not sleepy. I have to watch the night for you two, so I can't sleep. Putting a dead body here, I guess you're quite nervous. Brother wake up to give you courage."
"I'm a little sleepy now, can I sleep for a while? You can look after the young master for me first, and we will change shifts later?"
"Hey, no need, brother don't need to sleep, you can sleep peacefully, brother will just sit here and watch over you two."
Jiu Shun then sat on the floor, leaning against the head of the bed and slowly fell asleep.

In the Longyan Pavilion in the Heavenly Court, Lan Yuyan violently smashed the bamboo slips handed over by her subordinates.
"Are you all trash? I've been checking back and forth for almost half a year, but I haven't found any clues. How powerful is this Bo Tian, and he's making fun of my most elite troops?"
Two soldiers in golden armor knelt down tremblingly and said, "Third Lord, forgive me."
Lan Yuyan sat slumped on the throne, rubbing the space between her brows wearily.In addition to anger and irritability, a sense of powerlessness and deep self-blame surged in his heart.Why can't I even track down Bo Tian's whereabouts?Why is this general who was defeated 300 years ago so cunning this time, hiding without a trace?
Although Lan Yuyan never had the memory of defeating Bo Tian, everyone in the Heavenly Court said that Bo Tian was defeated by him, so he naturally believed it to be true.
Just when he was immersed in deep despair, a tall figure appeared in sight, which made Lan Yuyan almost jump up with excitement.
The person who came was Xiao An who was sent by him to watch Gu Huai a while ago.
Xiao An was wearing a suit of coarse and short brown, but the rough and simple clothes could not conceal his handsomeness and valor at all.
Lan Yuyan watched her most proud subordinate kneel humbly in front of her, and her irritated mood calmed down a bit.He crossed his legs, propped his head on the armrest with his left hand, and asked, "How is Gu Huai doing now?"
Xiao An raised his head to look at Lan Yuyan, and said in a clear voice, "I would like to report to the third son, Mr. Gu is now rushing to a certain place with Yan Chixia."
"Yan, Chi, Xia?" Lan Yuyan almost squeezed these three words out between his teeth, his eyes began to turn red with anger, "I have warned him so many times, keep him away from Yan Chixia, how dare he still be with him?"
After Lan Yuyan calmed down a bit, Xiao An continued: "At present, according to the direction they are traveling, their destination points to a place..."
"where?"
"Three hundred years ago, Bo Tian's lair, of course, this may just be a coincidence."
Lan Yuyan felt dizzy for a moment, making him speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Lan Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Go, keep watching him... Find out for me what relationship Gu Huai and Yan Chixia have with Bo Tian!"
"Subordinates obey!" Xiao An cupped his hands.
Lan Yuyan closed his eyes exhausted physically and mentally, and his chest was filled with emotions of anger, worry, self-blame, and fear, which made his internal organs ache.He really wanted to cry like a child, throw himself into Gu Huai's arms and cry...
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Xiao An was still kneeling there.He coughed twice in embarrassment, and calmly wiped away the two teardrops seeping from the corners of his eyes.
"Why don't you leave? Is there anything else to report?"
"Subordinate..." Xiao An's fair face flushed faintly, "Subordinate dares to ask the Third Young Master about it."
"You ask."
"The rumors about the third son and Mr. Gu... are they true?"
Lan Yuyan looked at him suddenly and asked, "What rumor?"
"It's...the rumors that the two of you...have a good relationship."
Lan Yuyan was silent for a moment, chuckled, and spit out two words: "It's true."
Xiao An looked up at Lan Yuyan, and was stunned there.He had never seen such gentle eyes from Lan Yuyan, nor had he heard such a gentle tone from him.
Xiao An came back to his senses, and asked again: "If it is finally found out that Young Master Gu is Bo Tian... what will the third young master do?"
Lan Yuyan cried and laughed, and said in a calm tone: "Then, I have no choice but to kill him myself."
After finishing speaking, Lan Yuyan said again: "Xiao An, you asked too many questions today, I should punish you."
Xiao An quickly kowtowed and said, "This subordinate is willing to be punished!"
Lan Yuyan shook her head with a smile, and said, "Forget it, you will pay off your merits and help me take good care of Gu Huai. Listen to me, no matter whether he has anything to do with Bo Tian or not, protect him for me." .If the next time I see him, I find that he is missing a hair, I will take you for a question."
