Chapter 904: The Unlearned Young Master 5
"Don't worry, Mom. Yun Yi is always smart, and he will be fine."
"I just saw officials coming. Master Jingci is deeply loved by His Majesty. Yun Yi is with him. The officials and soldiers will definitely be able to rescue him together."
Yun Zhi hurriedly comforted Madam Yun, saying that nothing could happen to her at this time.
Madam Yun forced herself to calm down, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Go to the Mei residence and ask your uncle for help."
"Okay." Yun Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and told the coachman to go to Mei's house.
Mrs. Yun's real name is Mei Yuan. Her father was a colleague and good friend of Mr. Yun. Her brother Mei Peng had once received guidance from Mr. Yun.
However, after his father's death, Mei Peng did not take the imperial examination to enter the official career, but gave up literature and went into business. In recent years, as the court opened up trade routes, he also formed a caravan and began to travel to neighboring countries to do business.
Just now, Mei Yuan heard someone say that the person who kidnapped Master Jingci was a big and strong man, and looked like a Hu person.
If it was some action by the Hu people, Mei Peng might have some news.
When Mei Yuan returned to her parents' home, Mei Peng happened to be at home. He was shocked to hear the news that Master Jingci had been kidnapped. Then he thought of the rumors he had heard when he went to Yue State for business.
"The cold-avoiding rhinoceros?" Even though Mei Yuan was a woman in the inner palace, she knew that the cold-avoiding rhinoceros was a treasure of the royal family of Lang State.
Mei Peng nodded. "The old emperor of Yue State needed the cold-repelling rhinoceros for medicine. They kidnapped Master Jingci in order to exchange him for the cold-repelling rhinoceros. As for Yi'er, he must have been implicated."
"I'm worried because he's implicated. If the other party was targeting him, they'd be fine no matter how much money they demanded. But he's completely useless to them. They can kill him at any time."
Mei Peng naturally knew this. If the people who kidnapped Master Jingci were really sent by the Yue royal family, Yun Yi would be of no use to them.
"I have sent people to investigate where those people might be hiding. We should have results soon." Mei Peng comforted his sister.
At the same time, Yun Yi swaggered out after knocking Lu'er unconscious.
"Hey you..."
The people guarding outside the house were stunned when they saw Yun Yi coming out, but before they could react, Yun Yi raised his hand and scattered the powder, and the powder hit their faces. The next moment, they fell to the ground with sore hands and feet.
"You... someone come..."
I wanted to call for help, but I no longer had the strength.
"One, two, three, down."
When Yun Yi counted to three, all the little Karami outside rolled their eyes and passed out.
He had secretly prepared this powder in the past few days. There was no other way. He could only practice some light skills in three days. He couldn't learn any advanced martial arts. Now he could only use some pharmacological attacks.
He jumped onto the roof and searched around, and finally found traces of a group of people in a hidden corner of the house.
Master Jingci was tied up in the house, his monk's robes were in disarray, but there was still no sign of panic on his face.
In addition to Master Jingci, there were more than ten people in the room.
Yun Yi's gaze fell on the man in the lead, who was none other than Yuchi Hong.
The sixth prince of Yue State was not favored by the emperor of Yue State since childhood. When he reached adulthood and it was time for him to serve in the court, he was not assigned any position.
This time the old emperor was seriously ill, and the imperial physician said that he needed the Lang Kingdom's treasure, the cold-repellent rhinoceros horn, as medicine.
So Yuchi Hong volunteered to sneak into the capital of Lang State with dozens of guards, determined to get the winter-avoiding rhinoceros at all costs.
"Old bald donkey, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Write the letter quickly and we can spare your life."
A man in black moved the long knife across Master Jingci's shoulder a little closer. Under the pressure of the sharp blade, traces of blood appeared on his neck.
"I have put life and death aside since the day I became a monk. I will definitely not write this letter asking for help." Master Jingci said calmly without any change in expression.
"Okay, then I'll give you a ride."
The man in black was about to chop down with his sword, but just as the blade was about to touch Master Jingci, Yuchi Hong called out to him.
"Wait a moment." Yuchi Hong looked at Master Jingci's completely unconcerned expression, smiled, and said, "I know Master Jingci isn't afraid of death, but don't you Buddhists say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?"
"As long as you write this letter, I can spare the lives of those three."
Yuchi Hong's words finally made Master Jingci open his eyes and look up at him.
Yuchi Hong was delighted and continued, "The Cold-Resisting Rhino is nothing more than a dead object after all. Using it for my benefit means saving lives. You and those three people can still survive."
"What? Could it be that Master Jingci is one of those hypocritical people who disregards other people's lives just because he doesn't want to offend the emperor?"
Master Jingci closed his eyes again, muttered a few Buddhist verses, and then said:
"I can write the letter, but whether His Majesty is willing to use the Cold-Resistant Rhino to save me is beyond my control."
Hearing this, Yuchi Hong smiled with satisfaction.
"Come here, untie Master Jingci and prepare writing brush and ink."
After a while, Yuchi Hong looked at the letter for help written by Master Jingci with increasing satisfaction, and handed it to his subordinates to do it.
"Master Jingci, thank you for your hard work. I have asked someone to prepare a vegetarian meal. I hope you will not mind it."
The vegetarian meal was served, and Yuchi Hong waved the others away, "I want to discuss Buddhist scriptures with the master, you go outside and serve."
However, whether it was vegetarian food or discussing Buddhist scriptures, Master Jingci no longer paid any attention to Yuchi Hong, but just sat aside and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.
Yuchi Hong didn't care and talked happily to himself. He was so excited that he asked someone to heat a pot of wine for him.
Seeing this, Yun Yi knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.
He jumped and quietly left the roof.

Huang Yi took Luo Xuan far away from the house and slowed down a little.
"They shouldn't be able to catch up here. Huang Yi, go back and save Lu'er and Brother Yun." Luo Xuan said anxiously.
However, Huang Yi did not leave. "This place is remote. It would be better for me to send the princess to a safe place."
"I'm safe now." Luo Xuan knew that Huang Yi was afraid that she would be in danger and punished by her brother after returning.
But she was more worried about Lu'er and Yun Yi. They were both powerless, and those men in black were obviously murderers. What would happen if they really attacked them?
Suddenly, Luo Xuan saw a group of people coming towards this side.
As luck would have it, the one leading the group was Rong Sheng, who waved to him hurriedly, "This way, Rong Sheng, here."
Rong Sheng and King Xiao were inspecting the troops outside the city. After hearing the news that Master Jingci had been captured, the generals in the barracks each led a team of troops to search everywhere.
"Princess? Why are you here?"
"There's no time to talk anymore. Go and save Brother Yun and Lu'er." Luo Xuan said hurriedly, pointing in the direction of the villa.
