The sky is bright and clear.
Lan Ling'er's hands shook first, and then she gradually opened her eyes.
It seemed that the smell of medicine in the room was irritating.
Lan Ling'er, who was lying on the bed, didn't look too good, her lips turned white, and her eyes turned to look at the figure running back and forth on the ground. Then she looked at the fresh herbs in the bamboo basket on one side, feeling excited in her heart, and looked at Zhao Yunxi who was busy working for her with a happy face.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" He yelled and itched, and he couldn't help but cough.
"Ling'er! You're awake!" Zhao Yunxi hurried to Lan Ling'er's bedside, not caring about wiping off the dirt on his face. He lifted him up and sat on the bed.
"I really don't deserve what you do!" Lan Ling'er looked at Zhao Yunxi with some embarrassment.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Yunxi put a coat on Lan Ling'er, then made the bed quilt, and continued: "You and I have known each other for a short time, but you blocked that slap for me with your body. I, Zhao Yunxi, If I don’t save myself from death, then am I still a human being!”
Zhao Yunxi said and brought over a bowl of soup.
"I picked this all night long. If you drink it, you will recover faster." Zhao Yunxi first scooped it up with a spoon, then blew it gently and put it on Lan Ling'er's lips.
Seeing such warmth, Lan Linger felt that this was perhaps the first time in her life that she had been cared for by a member of the opposite sex. His eyes suddenly flashed with tears. At the same time, Lan Ling'er also opened her mouth very cooperatively.
Although the decoction is bitter, it is warm. Lan Ling'er couldn't stop it anymore and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Zhao Yunxi was a little at a loss and hurriedly put down the decoction and wiped Lan Ling'er's tears.
"I just remembered what happened when I was a child, so--" Lan Ling'er couldn't help but lower her head, a little embarrassed to face the face in front of her that made her a little moved.
"Don't you often say that people should live in the present, not thinking about the past, not fearing the future, and living up to the rest of their lives? Why are you feeling nostalgic again today?"
"Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?" Lan Ling'er looked at the soup in the bowl, then changed the subject and said: "This rice dendrobium is a rare thing in the world. It is mostly found on cliffs. Could it be that you go to the mountains again to do it?" Did I pick it?”
"Actually, it's on the back mountain. Although it's a bit hard to find, fortunately I knew where this medicinal material grew when I was a child! Therefore, I picked it and used it to nourish your body."
"You do this to me! I don't even know how to repay you?"
"I don't like hearing what you say!" Zhao Yunxi borrowed what Lan Ling'er once said and said, "Don't you also often say that it is your duty to hang a pot to help the world! Today I can be regarded as I have inherited your mantle, do I still need your repayment?"
The two of them couldn't help but smile as they looked at each other.
"Although good medicine is bitter, it is good for the body, so drink it while it's hot!" Zhao Yunxi picked up the soup and looked at Lan Ling'er.
"Yeah!" Lan Ling'er nodded slightly.
Seeing Lan Ling'er's acquiescence, Zhao Yunxi scooped up the soup with a spoon again, then blew it gently and put it on Lan Ling'er's lips.
Looking at such a heartwarming scene, Axiang looked suspicious, walked up to Wang Tong, and said to the demented Wang Tong: "Second uncle! It seems that the person is not the one who wants to kill us. She has no ties. Even though she has the strength of a chicken, she can't acquire martial arts. It seems that we may have really misunderstood her?"
Wang Tong didn't speak, he just covered his cheeks with his hands and looked at the blue sky today. The violent storm last night seemed to have disappeared long ago.
In the capital, inside the palace.
This is a dark secret room, with a dim figure behind the black curtain.
"Father-in-law! The person has returned!" A man stepped forward and reported to the person behind the curtain.
"Can you handle what you were told?" a voice came from behind the curtain.
"This -" the man couldn't help but glanced to the side, only to see a person stumbling to his knees. With his whole body trembling, he looked at the figure behind the curtain and said tremblingly: "I - we suffered first - We encountered an ambush by a pack of wolves, and then the Lord of Luoshuang City led a large group of troops to ambush me and others. Finally, I was the only one left to come back. Luoshuang also asked his subordinates to speak for the father-in-law, saying that he wanted to persuade the Japanese to treason and bully the country. Your Majesty, once the Emperor finds out about it, I don’t know whether to rupture her skin and cramp her, or whether to be executed in a hurry. I hope my father-in-law can make his own decisions and don’t take advantage of her Luo Shuang. Otherwise, otherwise, next year, today, it will be... It’s my father-in-law’s death anniversary!”
"That's unreasonable!" After saying that, a gust of wind came from behind the curtain, and the kneeling man was knocked out by a force of force. With a scream, he fell to the ground.
"Well, you Luoshuang! Our family has underestimated you!" Cao Yanqing was a little surprised.
"Father! I think there must be something fishy in this!"
"tell me the story!"
"My father-in-law's plan is flawless. Logically speaking, Luoshuang and the others couldn't have known about it in advance."
"You mean there's a mole among us?"
"Hard to say!"
Cao Yanqing thought for a while and then said for a long time: "Only she knows about this plan. Could it be her?"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
In the darkness, there was a burst of mocking palms.
Looking along the source of the sound, a soul-stirring figure walked out of the darkness.
"It's you!" Cao Yanqing looked at the ghost mother somewhat unexpectedly.
I saw the ghost mother walking past the man. The man exclaimed and pulled out his Xiuchun knife, but he also stepped aside and did not dare to step forward.
The ghost mother just glanced with disdain and said to Cao Yanqing behind the curtain: "If you ask me to die, I have to die! I am only following the order of the Lord! I hope you don't blame me!"
"Lord?" Cao Yanqing became a little anxious and said, "What exactly does Feng Xiyue want?"
"Of course I'm sending you to see the King of Hell! I hope your father-in-law won't blame me when he gets there!" The ghost mother opened her delicate hands in the dim light, looking a little unfathomable.
"Hmph! I'm afraid you can't do anything to me!" Cao Yanqing was somewhat proud.
"I can come and go freely even in the palace! Let alone kill you here!" After saying that, the ghost mother threw out a chess piece and landed on the table next to Cao Yanqing.
It was a black chess piece. Although it had some cracks, it was deeply embedded on the table.
How could Cao Yanqing not understand the meaning of this?
Under the sharp eyes, a large amount of air flow has been transported in the wrinkled palm. The wind started to move, heading towards the ghost mother.
However, the ghost mother did not move an inch. Just when the palm of his hand was just a few inches away from the ghost mother's face, an eagle's claw struck Cao Yanqing from the side. It was too late, but it was too soon. Cao Yanqing used this power to turn around and sweep to the side. The black shadow jumped over his head and came to the other side.
"Snapped--!"
The surrounding tables and chairs were smashed to pieces.
Under the dim light, a gloomy wind struck from behind Cao Yanqing.
Cao Yanqing turned around and was about to swing away, but was scratched in the face by the sudden eagle claw. There were a few bloody ravines on his face instantly. The piercing pain was in stark contrast to the angry, tense face.
"Who are you exactly?"
The person in front of Cao Yanqing pulled down his cloak, and a familiar figure was imprinted in his mind.
"It's you!" Cao Yanqing looked at the figure in front of him who had been laughed at, but he was also a little unsure. Because the person in front of him is always hidden under that face as red as blood.
"What! Are you surprised?"
"I never thought that our family should have killed you, a little bastard, in the woods! I never thought that I would fall into the hands of you, a little bastard, today!" Cao Yanqing touched the bloody ravine on his face with one hand and looked at his hand. The blood-stained hand asked the figure in front of him: "Boy! I didn't expect that your martial arts has improved a lot after so long!"
"Your death has come, you won't be able to survive for long!"
"Hahaha——!" Cao Yanqing laughed and said to the two of them: "Do you think our family is not prepared?"
"Come here!" Cao Yanqing ordered, but finally fell silent.
Looking at the quiet surroundings, Cao Yanqing was a little panicked! He shouted again: "Come here! Where are you people?"
Cao Yanqing slowly moved his eyes to the Jin Yiwei just now and said, "Fang Ran! Where did our people go?"
I saw Fang Ran walking out with an evil smile on his face.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Clapping his hands together, a burst of footsteps came from the surrounding area. I saw several archers aiming at Cao Yanqing.
"I'm sorry! Father-in-law! This subordinate is here to arrest you and bring you to justice under the orders of the master!" After saying that, he tore off the familiar mask. A new face appeared in front of Cao Yanqing, and this person was the Jin Yiwei who was following Cao Yanqing.
"You - you are not Fang Ran, who are you?" Cao Yanqing panicked.
"It's a pity! He doesn't know how to praise, and he was killed by me a few days ago!" As the man spoke, he added to Cao Yanqing: "But the master has a word in advance, and I can keep your whole body! But let me Lu Hum, it seems that it doesn’t matter whether my father-in-law keeps his whole body or not!”
"Hahaha——!" Cao Yanqing looked at Lu Heng and threatened: "Our family really didn't expect it! But our family's today is your Lu Hen's tomorrow! You Lu Hen will always become the second Cao of our family. Yanqing!”
"What do you mean?" Lu Heng didn't quite understand why he felt like he was being led by someone else.
"Thank you for staying with our master for so long! Don't you know that our master is always very suspicious? The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind! As for who is the final winner, he also said Not allowed!" Cao Yanqing said inscrutably.
However, the ghost mother who had not spoken for a long time saw the clue, because this familiar routine seemed familiar to her. Yes, if she remembered correctly, this was the method Zhao Yueheng used back then. Cao Yanqing in front of him was obviously delaying time. When reinforcements were coming, they might be the captured cicada.
"Don't listen to his blabbering! Time has not waited for me, I will kill him if I need to!" the ghost mother said coldly.
Cao Yanqing suddenly realized that his plan had failed and ran away. The man in black robe just now also ducked and chased after him.
"Click——"
There was only a sound, and the two of them fell into the secret passage at their feet and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
The Ghost Mother and others came forward to look around, but they saw nothing but darkness, making it impossible to see everything clearly.
"Holy Mother! What should we do next?" Lu Heng stepped forward and asked the ghost mother in front of him.
The ghost mother didn't say anything in a hurry, she just glanced at the embroidered spring knife on Lu Heng's waist.
"choke--!"
I saw the ghost mother draw out the Xiuchun knife with lightning speed and suddenly slashed at Lu Heng's arm.
"Ah——!" Blood spattered and a broken arm fell to the ground.
"When you go back, report it to your master, saying that Cao Yanqing colluded with the Japanese to cause rebellion, and you were the only one who escaped with your life." The ghost mother walked up to him and warned him: "Remember! Don’t let the truth slip! Otherwise, I will have saved your life in vain!”
After saying that, the ghost mother specifically hinted to him and looked at the surrounding archers. How could Lu Heng not know this? Only the dead can keep today's secrets.
Soon, screams were heard, and the archers were killed by the two of them.
[Question: 1. Who will fall into the secret grid with Cao Yanqing?
2. Why did the ghost mother cut off Lu Heng’s arm? What is the purpose? 】
