The disciples were at a loss when they heard this. They remembered that on the way back to the mountain, the mute uncle was satisfied with his senior brother. Knowing that it was always right to obey his senior brother's orders, he hurriedly carried the unconscious man into the room.
Seeing that his uncle had no expression, Liang Ji secretly thought that he had guessed his intention correctly and wanted to continue asking for rewards. However, he saw that his uncle had already gone into the room and closed the door.
Rubbing their sore arms from lifting the man, a group of disciples stepped forward and asked out of curiosity: "Brother, what do you want this man for?"
"Shhh! I heard that my uncle has a weird temperament. Could it be that he has something like Long Yang?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see the short blade in his hand just now? I heard that his short blade was highly poisonous, and he likes to test the poison on living people..." Liang Ji stopped his junior brothers from talking nonsense and said, With fear in his eyes, he said softly.
"I think that man may not survive today... It's a pity. That man practices external martial arts and uses his essence and blood to make elixirs. He is the most suitable..." I'm worried that the master's skills are deep and he can hear everyone whispering outside. , Liang Ji lowered his voice a little more, led everyone away from the room, and walked towards the residence of the disciples in Lingzhong while explaining.
"You guys, please remember that Master is not in the mountain. If you offend Master, I won't be able to save you."
"Senior brother, don't worry, we all will follow your lead."
"Okay, there are currently a shortage of manpower in the ridge. Master went to Wangxiang Slope and has not returned yet. He can't take off his pill food. Please cheer me up and make a good inspection..."
After Liang Ji gave his instructions, he led everyone to patrol the ridge. Unexpectedly, he noticed that the door of the wooden house behind him was ajar. The people in the house were watching the retreating figures of himself and others. Just as they were talking, the people behind the door had already fallen behind. In my ears, the door of the house was quietly closed until everyone left.
The red robe carefully inspected the inside and outside of the room, and when he was sure that no one was prying, he turned around and hurried to the couch. He lifted up the red robe, quickly drew out his sword and pointed it at the chest of the unconscious strong man on the couch.
As the internal force from the fingertips was transmitted to the acupuncture points on his chest, the man on the couch's closed eyes trembled for a moment, then slowly opened them, and saw the shadow of the red robe in a hazy state. Before his mind could settle down, his eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously wanted to follow. He raised his hand on the couch, but was pulled back from his thoughts by a call.
"Brother Xue, it's me... Gu Xiao!"
When he rescued Xue Hu in the dense forest, he only said a few words in a hurry and didn't have time to say more. Now that he woke up Xue Hu, he realized that he was almost completely different from the rough guy he met in the Liangzhou foot shop that day.
Gu Xiao had never seen such a frightened look in Xue Hu's eyes. He quickly took off the hood that covered his face, exposed his face, and called softly to Xue Hu with twinkling eyes: "Brother Xue...Brother Xue..."
After calling repeatedly, he finally saw the young man's face clearly, and Xue Hu slowly came back to his senses. The fear and wariness in his eyes slowly disappeared until he was sure of the person in front of him.
"Brother Xue, where are Uncle Li and Lin'er? What happened under Xiaolou Peak that day?" Seeing that Xue Hu recognized him, Gu Xiao tried his best to lower his voice and asked. ..
Xue Hu shook his head vigorously, as if to relax his tense nerves these days in the Villain Ridge, where he fought tooth and nail and was always on guard. He never opened his mouth to talk to anyone, so he spoke eagerly and was a little speechless, "Hey "It took a long while before I could speak smoothly. Grabbing the young man's arm, the bearded man looked helpless in his eyes.
"Gu...Brother Gu, I...Old Xue has lost his master!"
Seeing Xue Hu's appearance, Gu Xiao suddenly panicked and asked quickly: "What did you say? Brother Xue, what's wrong with you... Lin'er!"
"Xue Hu is not good in his studies and failed to protect his master!" Although Xue Hu has a beard on his face and looks ferocious, he is actually a loyal person. At this moment, he only thinks about his master's safety. He is deeply guilty and seems not to listen at all. When Gu Xiaozhi said it, he just muttered it and repeated it in his mouth.
The more this happened, the more anxious Gu Xiao became. No matter what Xue Hu said or the look on his face, Gu Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He didn't care that he was in the Villain's Ridge. He clenched the thick arm of the bearded man with his backhand and circulated his true energy. As it passed into his body, the tone of his voice became a little higher.
"Brother Xue, tell me quickly, what's going on!"
Under the young man's stern voice and internal strength, Xue Hu finally woke up a little, turned his eyes and spoke.
"Brother Mu, we split up outside Xiaolou Peak that day. I protected Master Ben and fought with those people in the forest... But suddenly two people in red and blue robes broke into the forest. They stood there, Cheering for the fight to the death in the valley... Just as we were wondering how these two people broke into the forest silently without anyone noticing, several men in white clothes and holding swords appeared in the forest... It seemed like Come for me."
Hearing Xue Hu's words, Gu Xiao suddenly remembered that when he first met Miss Jiang, she was looking for a fellow student under the Xiaolou Peak. The two had a fight and then got acquainted. He was about to ask but heard Xue Hu say something. One turn.
"Those people seemed to have known each other for a long time with the two people in red and blue robes. After seeing us, they didn't say anything and just started to fight... The head of Tianya and the people under Chi Qianren had already fought to the death... I If you are defeated, they will join forces and capture you."
Gu Xiao was shocked when he heard Xue Hu's story about being captured by the red robe in Murong Valley at the foot of Xiaolou Peak. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "Brother Xue said that the red robe should be from Murong Valley, but who is that blue robe?" ? The other group of sword holders are disciples of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Miss Jiang’s fellow disciples...How could it be possible? They obviously happened to break in, but why did they get the word from Brother Xue? Miss Jiang lied to me..." Kan Shula
After a moment of doubt, Gu Xiao immediately denied the possibility of Jiang Ningxue deceiving him: "No! If you want to cover up this matter, there is no need for Miss Jiang to mention Murong Valley, and there is no need to follow me to find out the clues to the valley. These days Come on, Miss Jiang will live and die with me. She is definitely not that kind of person... In this case, there may be only one possibility..."
Starry eyes flashed, and doubts disappeared a little, but this was not the most important thing at the moment. Withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Xiao asked about everyone being captured into Murong Valley. Xue Hu seemed to be infected by the young man's calmness, and finally Keep your mind steady and tell me all the matters after entering the valley.
"When I entered Murong Valley, this was not the first place I arrived. My master, Master Chi, and others all had their acupoints tapped and could not move. I only vaguely remember that the place was bone-chillingly cold. Compared to the cold The cold winter in the state will be several times colder..." Even though a lot of time had passed, Xue Hu still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.
When Gu Xiao met Xue Hu in Liangzhou, he already knew that he practiced external martial arts and was not afraid of severe cold. Even in such a cold weather in Liangzhou, he only wore single clothes, which would make him feel uncomfortable. It is much colder than the winter in Yanbei.
After entering the Murong Valley, no matter the Terracotta Warriors Waterway in the Valley, the spring breeze on the Wangxiang Slope, or the slippery slope of the Evil Man Ridge, they were not the cold places that Brother Xue said when he entered the valley. Where is the cold place to stay...
Before I could figure it out, I heard Xue Hu continue: "I don't know how long we stayed there. Our consciousness was lost in the severe cold. Only...only the master kept talking..."
Raising his gaze, Xue Hu stared at the young man in front of him: "The master is saying... let us persevere, saying that Brother Gu will definitely come to rescue us..."
When the young man heard the words, tenderness and guilt intertwined in his starry eyes, turning into a little bit of lovesickness. He was silent for a moment, and when he was about to continue asking, the sound of hurried steps suddenly came from his ears, and he hurriedly motioned for Xue Hu to lie down as before. He reached out and pulled up the hood behind him to hide his face.
"Uncle...Uncle..." After finishing everything, Liang Ji's cautious voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Xue, I'm offended!" He held the poison-quenching dagger in the red robe tightly, hidden it under the red robe, and signaled to Xue Hu to speak.
Xue Hu understood immediately. The young man was worried that if he pretended to faint, the group of red-robed disciples would find out. The best disguise was that he really fainted, so he nodded immediately.
Gu Xiao's sword finger came out again, hitting the chest of the bearded man. Xue Hu, who had not used his strength to resist, immediately fell into a coma again. Then he rolled up Brother Xue's sleeves and used his fingertips to scratch a little of the skin on his arm...
After doing all this, the young man walked calmly to the writing desk in the room, lifted his robe and sat upright. He waited until the call from outside the door became a little more urgent, and then he used his strength in his hands and waved towards the lightly closed wooden door.
Outside the door, Liang Ji and others were pacing back and forth anxiously. The uncle didn't open the door. Maybe he was testing the poison with the bearded man. If he was disturbed at this time, he couldn't bear it...
"Senior Brother, Golden Rooster Tower
The messenger has arrived, but the master is not in the ridge. If we don't ask the uncle to come forward, I'm afraid we can't afford to offend him..." The junior brothers beside me shuddered when they thought of the evil stars in the Jinji Tower, and they had no choice but to urge the senior brothers to knock on the door again. .
Just when everyone was hesitating, the door opened behind them. Liang Ji and others were overjoyed and hurriedly walked respectfully into the room. They saw their uncle sitting on the desk with a cold look on their faces, making all the red-robed disciples look at each other. Neither dared to speak first.
Liang Ji glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the cuffs of the bearded man were open and red blood was oozing out from the wound on his arm. He was immediately convinced of his previous guess that Shi Boguo was using the bearded man to test poison.
Feeling his uncle's gaze on the desk in front of him, and remembering the envoy from Jinji Ling, Liang Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, someone from Jinji Ling has come, saying that it's the day to send elixirs again..."
Perhaps he was worried that his master would be angry with him, so when he said this, Liang Ji hurriedly continued to explain: "It's not that we deliberately delayed the delivery of pills. Recently, there was an escape of pills in Lingzhong. The master is not in Lingzhong, and the people in Jinjilou are not here." Arrogant..."
The words deliberately mentioned the attitude of the people coming from Jinji Tower, Liang Ji's little thoughts, and all the junior brothers behind him knew it well. As long as the junior uncle is dissatisfied with the people in Jinji Tower, the focus will naturally shift from the loss of pills to everyone. When he came to the Golden Rooster Tower, he understood for a moment, and all the disciples spoke in agreement.
"What senior brother said is true. How do those people at Jinji Tower know about the difficulties of our Evil Ridge..."
"Yes, these elixirs are not ordinary people, but they are all well-known masters in the world. We are short of manpower..."
"Those Jinjilou disciples usually look down on us from the Evil Ridge..." Kanshu La
Everyone, you say something, I say something. Before I finished speaking, I saw that the master behind the desk had slowly stood up. Killing intent instantly filled the wooden house, causing the disciples of Weirenling who were chattering a moment ago to come down. He was immediately shocked into silence by the murderous intent in the room, and focused his attention on senior brother Liang Ji.
Liang Ji was also frightened by his uncle's sword intent, and realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him. Now that the matter was at this point, he could only grit his teeth and continue the play. When he was about to speak, he saw his uncle who had stood up behind the desk and raised his hand to stop him. Keeping himself in the position of bowing in return, he raised the hood that covered his face slightly and looked outside the wooden house.
"Quickly, lead your uncle to see the people from Jinji Tower!" Liang Ji reacted and hurriedly shouted to everyone who was still in a daze around him to lead his uncle to see the people from Jinji Tower.
