The Three Spirit Stones

Chapter 145 The wind rises in Canglan

During the Grain Full season, Cheng’s family held a banquet.

When Cheng Yu was chatting with the guests in the side hall, the maid came hurriedly to report that Madam Cai had fallen in the garden, injured her forehead, and her face was covered with blood.

Cheng Yu was shocked and hurried back to the yard.

At this time, Dongmei and others were trying to stop the bleeding and disinfect Ah Cai. She was screaming in pain.

"Why are you so careless?"

"How many times have I told you not to jump when you walk? Why don't you listen?"

He was angry and distressed, complaining while helping her apply the medicine.

Ah Cai pouted and said, "I didn't jump around."

"My foot slipped when I was going down the stairs,"

"Will a slip cause such a severe fall?"

Looking at her deep wound, Cheng Yu became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but curse at everyone in the room.

"What's the use of you slaves?"

"You knew that your wife would not help her down the stairs, and now she is injured like this."

"Come here, take these useless people down and beat them up,"

"My Lord, spare my life,"

"Lord, spare me,"

When the servants heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"You guys retreat quickly,"

Ah Cai quickly stopped the servant who was about to arrest her and said, "They helped me."

"It was just my own carelessness,"

"It was windy from behind, it felt like someone pushed me, and the steps were slippery after the rain, so I fell like this."

She explained to Cheng Yu,

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did someone push you?"

"It felt like someone pushed me, but it was the wind. It was too strong."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly seemed to remember something. He put his hand on Ah Cai's back.

As expected, I sensed a trace of residual spiritual energy...

He got it!

He stood up quickly and walked out with big strides.

……

Ruo Xian is in her own yard,

She was in a much better mood today. Seeing Ah Cai fall with blood all over her face, she felt unprecedented relief.

At this time, the maid came to report that the Marquis had arrived.

She was so excited that she was about to dress up when Cheng Yu rushed in. Before she could say anything, he whipped her.

"Pah~,"

"Pah pah pah~~,"

"Ah! Lord~,"

"My Lord, spare my life~"

His face was livid, and he whipped Ruoxian mercilessly, making her scream and roll on the ground.

This scene frightened the maids in the house so much that they trembled with fear.

They had never seen the Marquis so furious before, and the brave ones crawled and rolled away to call for help.

When Sun Yuechan arrived, Ruoxian had been beaten to a bloody pulp and was lying on the ground, barely breathing.

"Husband,"

"what are you doing?"

"You're going to beat her to death,"

She stopped Cheng Yu, only to see him throw the whip to the ground, shake off her hand, walk to Ruo Xian and squat, and whisper word by word, "You should know very well why I hit you?"

"I also know that you won't die so easily,"

"You have to understand,"

"Acai is my bottom line,"

"If it weren't for the fact that we had physical contact, I would have killed you today."

"If you want to stay here, you have to behave yourself and don't play tricks on me,"

"do you understand?"

Ruo Xian raised her face which was covered with tears and blood and nodded.

Cheng Yu stood up, turned around and left without looking back.

……

"Alas! This man,"

"You change your mind faster than turning the pages of a book,"

"Before, he happily took her as his concubine, but now he almost beat her to death."

"Hmph~"

Yeluyuan sneered, she remembered that Cheng Yu wanted to kill her before, and was complaining to Sun Yuechan,

But Sun Yuechan believed that Cheng Yu would not lose his temper for no reason.

“We don’t know about this yet,” she said.

"My husband must have his reasons for doing this. I will ask him when he calms down."

Yelu Yuan asked again,

"You just saw Ruoxian's injuries. How badly is she hurt?"

"Hmm~,"

"There is no good meat anywhere, and in some places you can see the bones."

Yuechan felt a little horrified when she thought of Ruoxian's miserable condition.

hiss~

Yelu Yuan took a breath and said, "Is he going to kill me?"

"How can he be so cruel to such a beautiful woman?"

"She's injured so badly, how long will it take her to recover?"

To everyone's surprise, Ruoxian's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Five days later, she was able to get out of bed and walk.

After she recovered, she went to Cheng Yu's yard and knelt for a day and a night.

Later, Cheng Yu came out to see her. She wept and promised him that she would be obedient and abide by her duty in the future, and asked the Marquis to forgive her.

Cheng Yu finally softened his heart and personally sent her back to the courtyard. He also had someone send her a lot of nourishing supplements.

The matter was over, but although he forgave Ruoxian, he also kept a secret in mind, that is, he would never let her have the opportunity to be alone with Ah Cai, even if there were maids around.

Whenever he returns to the Marquis' Mansion, he will stay with Ah Cai.

Because he knew very well how easy it was for a person with psychic powers to kill someone.

……

……

Days flow like water, everything seems peaceful.

Cheng Yu would take time every day to read the intelligence reports from various places.

"...In the Yanzhou area of ​​Shaanxi Road, the population is becoming increasingly sparse. Sometimes you may not see a single person after walking a hundred miles."

"…The population in places like Yuzhou and Youzhou has inexplicably decreased, and ten out of ten houses are empty…"

During this period, some intelligence will mention some common points.

That is to say, the population on Shaanxi Road is much smaller, but there have been no major natural or man-made disasters in these places.

How could the population decrease so suddenly?

However, not all of that area is within the territory of the Song Dynasty. Some of it belongs to Western Xia. So although it is very strange, it is not easy to verify the reason.

Cheng Yu asked someone to collect all the information and sent it to Chen Lin.

Since these matters involve local government, it would be more appropriate for the imperial court to send people to investigate.

One day, a subordinate brought an urgent message from Lu Wuchen using a Costin.

He gave this Saker Falcon to Lu Wuchen so that they could communicate with each other more easily.

Cheng Yu opened it and saw something written inside: There is something unusual in Wuji Cave, come quickly.

He frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart.

He called Sun Yuechan over, handed her the token representing the power of the head of the family, arranged work matters, said goodbye to everyone and set off for Wuji Cave.

Although Wuji Cave was more than 2,000 miles away, Cheng Yu arrived there quickly alone.

On the second day, he had ridden a third of the way.

As we walked, the road became increasingly deserted, and we didn't see a single person for a long time.

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled. He remembered that there were markets, villages and so on when he passed by here before. Why did it become so desolate now?

Suddenly, he remembered the information he had seen before, and suddenly thought that the direction to Wuji Cave was Shaanxi Road.

OMG!

Could it be that the abnormalities in this area are related to Wuji Cave?

When he thought of this, he instinctively felt that the situation had become serious.

He rode his horse as fast as he could, rushing to Wuji Cave.

The situation and intelligence along the way were almost accurate.

After walking for several hundred miles, I could not see a single pedestrian. Occasionally, I came to a village, but the houses there had collapsed and were empty, in a state of desolation.

Cheng Yu’s expression became more and more solemn, he felt that something unusual was going to happen!
