Chapter 276: Face to face with the Cricket Demon Cult leader
"Vertigo?" Yin Jiu took the prescription to see the emperor.
"The prescription was just written yesterday. I sent someone to the pharmacy to ask. The store owner said that the person who came was a man in his thirties. He only complained of heart pain and dizziness, so he directly prescribed the best medicine. I have asked someone to draw a portrait according to the store owner's description."
He Linzhang said coldly: "Search the whole city for him according to the portrait. After finding him, don't alert him. Follow him secretly and see who he contacts. The Demon Lord is sick and can't rely on his inner strength to perform Qinggong all the time, so he should still use a carriage or take a boat. Yan Yan can't ride a horse, so they can't let her ride a horse to avoid being seen. Send orders to the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast, and assign a group of people to track in each direction to see if there are any suspicious carriages or teams passing by..."
Yin Jiu wrote down everything He Linzhang said. He could never forget the image of Concubine Tao abandoning him on Mount Qixia and preferring to be taken away by the Demon Cult so that they could leave safely.
Such a noble concubine, young and beautiful, faced with the threat of the evil cult, chose to save them. It was impossible not to be loyal to her.
When he thought about how such a good Concubine Tao was captured by the Demon Cult and her blood was used for medicine, he was so angry that he wanted to overthrow the Demon Cult and kill them all.
Tao Yanyan had lived in the courtyard for two days, and she didn't see the Demon Cult moving, so she walked around to take a look. The Demon Cult didn't restrict her from moving freely, but she didn't know martial arts, so she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
Moreover, she had no idea what she would encounter once she walked out of the courtyard. At least now she was safe, had a place to live, and had food to eat, so she was not living a bad life.
However, she found that the Demon Lord had not appeared in the past two days, and people gradually boiled medicine and brought it to his room. It seemed that the Demon Lord was really seriously ill.
However, Tao Yanyan could not sympathize with him. She hated him so much that her teeth itched when she thought about him taking her to the Demon Sect to use her blood as medicine. Even if the other party was the original owner's half-brother in name, she could not forgive him.
That evening, a new member of the cult came to the yard. Tao Yanyan was walking in the yard and met him face to face. The man avoided his gaze and quickly looked away.
Tao Yanyan was too lazy to pay attention to him and just strolled around by himself.
But when the man came out, he had obviously been beaten up. He fell in the yard after walking a few steps.
Tao Yanyan saw with his own eyes a man fall down as if he was dead, and he stepped back in fear.
Before she could react, she saw everyone else in the yard start to pack up their things, and the Demon Lord also trembled as he walked out of the room.
The Demon Lord saw Tao Yanyan and said coldly, "Your husband is really thinking about you, and he actually let him find out about the leader of my Demon Cult. Unfortunately, the more this happens, the faster I will take you back to the Demon Cult. Humph, you could have stayed in the capital for two more days, and then set off when I was well again, but now you have to leave immediately."
Tao Yanyan's heart skipped a beat. She knew He Linzhang would not give up on her, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
To be honest, she didn't want to see He Linzhang taking risks for her again. As a king, he should have no feelings for love and love the country more than the beauty. But when she heard that he was still looking for her and would not give up the slightest chance, she felt a little sweet in her heart.
Thinking that the man who fell in front of him might have been killed because his whereabouts were exposed, Tao Yanyan glanced at the Demon Lord and said, "It's so pitiful to be your subordinate. I work hard for you, but you still kill him. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, such a master is really chilling!"
Tao Yanyan felt that his mental strength was so strong that it was terribly strong now as he tried to sow discord between the Cricket Cricket and his master in front of all the members of the Demon Cult.
She turned around to get some water, then seemed to think of something, and turned back to say, "I've been held captive by you for so long, and you didn't even prepare a few sets of clothes for me to change into. You're really not a qualified big brother."
The Demon Lord was a little guilty at first, and indeed he was not fully prepared, but when he heard her say "big brother", he flew into a rage: "I'll say it again, I'm not your big brother, don't call me that."
Seeing this was his minefield, Tao Yanyan's eyes flickered and he smiled slyly. He began to hum a little song: "Brother...Brother...Brother, how are you? After so many years, do you have a home that you don't want to leave..."
"Wu has Brother Guan, Wen has Brother Kong. The tiger-killing Brother Wu, I am also a brother..."
Demon Lord: "..."
How on earth could the Great Zhou Emperor tolerate this crazy woman? Can someone tell him!
The Demon Lord was so angry when he heard Tao Yanyan's cheerful singing that he almost vomited blood. He felt that the anger he had accumulated in the past twenty years was not as much as that in the past few days.
But he couldn't do anything to her. She was such a weak girl that if he struck her with his palm, she would probably be shattered to pieces.
Listening to the devil's voice, the Demon Lord could only tell himself repeatedly: She is the medicine, the good medicine to save him, and it will not be too late to kill her after the disease is cured.
Tao Yanyan went back to her room to drink some water, looked around, and then blatantly carved some small words with a hairpin. She knew that even if she wrote in secret, those people would erase the traces, so it would be better for her to write openly without having to hide it.
She just carved a few words: Take good care of your children, take care of yourself, and don't worry.
She carved it repeatedly in several places. When she finished carving, a member of the Demon Cult came in to clean it up. When he saw what she had carved, he asked suspiciously, "You are so young, and you have a child?"
Tao Yanyan looked at him and said, "Yes, an adopted son and daughter, both sons and daughters."
The man was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that at this time, she would still leave a message thinking about her adopted son and daughter. He was a little surprised.
Tao Yanyan observed his expression and asked, "You have a child too, right? How old is he?"
The man smiled and touched his head: "Five years old, son."
Tao Yanyan seemed to be interested and smiled, "What a coincidence! My adopted son is almost five years old. If I hadn't been captured by your master, I would have celebrated my birthday in two days. My adopted son's birthday is in October this year, October 1st, what a great day! I don't know if I will have the chance to see him again in this life."
The man was stunned again, a little embarrassed, and thought for a long time before saying: "If you want to go back, you might as well ask the Demon Lord for help. As long as you donate blood and cure the Demon Lord, he will not make things difficult for you."
Tao Yanyan hid the dark light in his eyes and sighed, "How can human blood cure diseases? Your Demon Lord must have been misled by some quack doctor. My life is hanging by a thread. I wonder how long it will take to reach your Demon Cult? I really want to take a closer look at the direction of the palace and take a look at my poor adopted son who lost his mother at such a young age."
Perhaps it was the deep love that Tao Yanyan showed that touched the man, and he comforted him, "Look to the west, that's the direction where the gate faces the well, that's where the imperial palace is. Our Demon Cult is on an island in the south, and it's really hard to get out once you get there, so take this opportunity to look more to the west."
After knowing the direction, Tao Yanyan thanked him a few words and chatted with him about parenting for a while, then he heard someone outside calling them to set off.
The man probably thought that the words carved by Tao Yanyan were useless and not a clue, so he did not remove them. What he didn't know was that Tao Yanyan drew a picture at the fastest speed.
A cross-shaped coordinate, a square drawn on the west side, and a circle surrounded by waves on the south side.
