Chu Xian wanted to catch up with Steward Guo, ask some more questions, and also need to be sure of one thing, when he saw this Steward Guo before, he vaguely smelled a special smell.

The smell of herbs.

If you are someone else, you may not care, but Chu Xian is different, because her mother died of illness in the dream, so Chu Xian has studied medical skills, and he is proficient in medicine, which can be called a master.

It's like a lame person going out to meet a lame person, a pregnant woman going out to see a pregnant woman, not to say that there are many more lame people and pregnant women than on weekdays, when these two kinds of people are there, it depends on whether you pay attention and pay attention.

The smell of medicine is the same, if it is not a doctor, not a pharmacist, or not a patient, even if it smells, most of them will not care, but Chu Xian is a person with excellent medical skills, and he noticed it the first time he saw Steward Guo.

At that time, Chu Xian thought that Steward Guo was old, his health was not good, and his medication was normal, but later Chu Xian observed that although Steward Guo was old, his spirit was not bad, and he didn't look like he was sick. Then, there is only one possibility, this Steward Guo also understands medicine and pharmacology.

At this point, Chu Xian has to ask it face to face, because if his previous guess that Wang Yushi was under house arrest is correct, only this old housekeeper of the Yushi Mansion can do it quietly, because the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the imperial history are basically the responsibility of this Guo housekeeper, if the other party is a person who is proficient in medical pharmacology, it is easy to poison the diet unknowingly.

Chu Xian didn't want to wait any longer for this matter, and he also had an ominous premonition, so he immediately chased Qi Chengxiang out.

Halfway through, Chu Xian chased after the people of the Imperial History Mansion who were rushing back, but looking at the number of people, there was a lot less, except for the lack of some guards from the original Imperial History Mansion, and the steward Guo was not here.

Chu Xian asked, and several subordinates said that Steward Guo had gone out of the city with a few guards from the Imperial History Mansion.

Out of town?

At this point in time, what to do out of town?

Chu Xian suddenly thought of something, and his heart suddenly beat wildly, and he hurriedly greeted Qi Chengxiang, and the two of them sped up and went straight to the gate of Dongcheng.

Qi Chengxiang saw that Chu Xian was so anxious, although he was puzzled, he still sped up, and after a while, the two arrived at the city gate.

The city gate will be closed after nightfall, leaving only a small gate, and the guards guarding the city will also interrogate the people who enter and exit the city gate at this time, but Chu Xian is an official, and as soon as the fish-shaped official talisman is flashed, the soldiers must be released immediately.

Chu Xian asked the guards guarding the door, could someone leave the city just now, the soldier returned, two moments ago, the city guard Wang Dutong only took one guard and a total of two horses out of the city, a moment ago, an old man with a few people also left from here.

"Not good!"

Chu Xian immediately slapped his horse and galloped, and Qi Chengxiang couldn't help but ask at this time, "My lord, what happened?"

Chu Xian didn't hide it from Qi Chengxiang, and said, "Elder Qi, do you remember when Wang Yushi sent Wang Ruoyu away?"

Qi Chengxiang naturally remembered: "It was a month before he was killed. ”

Chu Xian continued: "The reason why Wang Yushi sent Wang Ruoyu away must be to perceive something, it must be to protect her, that is to say, the person who murdered Wang Yushi may also murder Wang Ruoyu, just now let's assume that Steward Guo is the real murderer behind the scenes, let me ask you, what is he going to do when he is so late and takes someone to follow Wang Ruoyu out of the city?"

Qi Chengxiang suddenly realized, secretly said that Lord Chu was thoughtful, he didn't think of this just now.

The two of them quickly whipped up, all the way to the direction of the city guard barracks, at this moment in the middle of the night, only the moonlight on the road, all around are pitch black, until they go out of the city for five miles, to a woodland, they see the light of torches not far away, and there are more figures shaking, the sound of fighting.

This time there was no need for Chu Xian to greet him, Qi Chengxiang immediately stepped forward, and then jumped up, pulled out the long knife at his waist in the air, and joined the battle group.

Chu Xian saw clearly, it was Wang Ruoyu and several guards of the Imperial History Mansion who were fighting in front of him, Wang Ruoyu's personal guards had already fallen to the ground, his head was smashed in half by something, and his brain was sprinkled on the ground, in addition, half of his body was actually scorched, and the air was full of scorching smell, which was obviously dead.

Thinking about it, this personal guard is also desperately guarding Wang Ruoyu, and then looking at Wang Ruoyu at the moment, she is also extremely dangerous, she was besieged by several guards of the Imperial History Mansion, relying on a willow leaf long knife in her hand to barely resist several Imperial History Mansion guards, but it is also full of dangers.

Not far away, Steward Guo sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a guard from the Imperial History Mansion, and Steward Guo closed his eyes tightly, his forehead was sweating, and there was actually a flame floating above his head.

Chu Xian's pupils shrank.

"Fire Resistant!"

This is a magic power, Chu Xian didn't expect that this old man who was over seventy years old was actually a monk in the out-of-body realm.

Out of the body realm, you can cultivate the art of imperial objects, including wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and all kinds of weapons, but most of them can only specialize in one, a few geniuses, can practice both, but no one can master them all, just like the 'Flying Sword Technique', which is an extremely powerful branch of the Imperial Arts, once you choose to practice the art of flying swords, then it is quite difficult to practice spells such as fire resistance.

Wang Ruoyu's personal guards should have died under Steward Guo's fire control technique, and Chu Xian didn't expect that he would actually meet a monk from the out-of-body realm here.

Wang Ruoyu over there couldn't hold on, although she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, but after all, her cultivation was limited, and the power of one person to be able to fight against four guards for so long was already at the limit, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Qi Chengxiang stepped forward to help, and finally blocked the four guards of the Imperial History Mansion.

At this moment, the flame above Guo Guan's head moved.

Chu Xian knew that although Qi Chengxiang was strong, and he was an acquired martial artist who refined his body and generated essence, if he distanced himself, Qi Chengxiang would definitely not be the opponent of an out-of-body realm cultivator.

Let's just say that the fire above Steward Guo's head is not something that the acquired martial artist can resist, no matter how strong your sword skills are, no matter how fierce your fists and feet are, how can you resist the flames?

Unless you cultivate the martial arts path 'King Kong is not bad', it will never be possible to resist the burning of the flames.

Although the out-of-body realm monk is strong, his weakness is also extremely obvious, just like at this moment, when Steward Guo casts a spell, because the original spirit is out of the body and controls the flames, so his body can't move, and against this kind of monk, as long as he kills it closely, he can win. Steward Guo also knew this, so he left a guard by his side in case of accidents.

Chu Xian originally planned to step forward and attack closely, not to mention killing Steward Guo, at least to disrupt the other party's spell, but that Steward Guo reacted faster, and the flames above his head were already whistling, and he pounced on Wang Ruoyu and Qi Chengxiang over there.

If Chu Xian still stepped forward to attack Steward Guo at this time, Wang Ruoyu and Qi Chengxiang would inevitably suffer.

At the critical moment, Chu Xian made a decision, jumped up, took out the official talisman, and threw it violently in the right direction.

In the face of this Yuan Shen Fire Fighting Technique, Chu Xian actually has no way to deal with it, although he knows many techniques, but he can't use them at the moment, but Chu Xian is very knowledgeable and understands the weaknesses of this Yuan Shen Fire Control Technique.

In that flame, there is the control of the Yuan Shen of Steward Guo, as long as the Yuan Shen is dispersed, he can naturally crack this fire control technique, his official talisman has the holy power of the official canon, and it is a powerful 'holy weapon' in itself.

Chu Xian's throw, timing, position, it was just right, the fish-shaped official talisman pierced into the fire, as if it hit an invisible thing, and then heard a strange scream, and the fire instantly scattered in all directions, and then looked at Steward Guo over there, his face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his eyes, with hatred in his eyes.
