Ling Yun took Yang Zhen and left the Marquis's Mansion. He used his Qing Kung Fu and moved quickly for several miles. Then he stopped at an alley in the capital and waited quietly for the masked man in white to catch up.
He first carefully helped Yang Zhen sit on the side, and sealed several acupuncture points around his injury with his parallel fingers to prevent excessive blood loss and the spread of poison.
Seeing Yang Zhen's face pale and painful, he couldn't help but asked nervously: "Yang Zhen, how do you feel now?"
Yang Zhen shook his head gently, forced an ugly smile on his face, and said weakly: "I feel okay now... I just don't know why, the injury on my shoulder is numb and there is no pain at all. Brother Ling, look at it, it's Isn’t that dart poisonous?”
Ling Yun hurriedly opened the fire certificate and stepped forward to carefully examine the injury on his shoulder.
At this time, the blood flowing out of his wound had solidified, and it was sticky together with his clothes.
Ling Yun used the flickering light of Huozhezi to see his injuries clearly, and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Because he saw: the blood flowing out near Yang Zhen's wound was dark and black; there was also a faint fishy smell that pierced his nose.
Ling Yun couldn't help but his heart sank, but his face remained calm and he said calmly: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Let's wait here for the senior. He has excellent medical skills and may be able to cure you."
Yang Zhen nodded weakly and said nothing more.
Ling Yun also took off the face towel, raised his face and let out a breath gently.
It was already the zenith of the moon. The Milky Way is shining in the sky, and jade dew is scattered; the shadows of the trees on the ground are mottled, and the wind is moving.
At this time, the masked man in white clothes finally came up. His figure was erratic, as light as a feather, and he suddenly arrived in front of Ling Yun.
He looked at Ling Yun, who was waiting for him eagerly, couldn't help but smile, and stopped a few steps away from him.
Ling Yun hurriedly stood up and went to greet him. He cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Senior Lian has saved his life several times. Ling Yun will never forget it. Senior, please accept Ling Yun's bow!" After saying that, he leaned over and bowed deeply. He bowed down.
It turns out that the masked man in white is the old man in white named Lian, layman Chang Xi.
A few months ago, Ling Yun was plotted by He Chenglin and knocked off a cliff. At a critical moment, thanks to the help of the old man in white named Lian, the same happened this time. If he hadn't arrived in time, Yang Zhen would have been in danger.
At this time, the old man surnamed Lian saw Ling Yun salute him and hurriedly stepped aside to avoid his salute. He stepped forward and held him with both hands and said: "Commander Ling's words are serious! If Commander Ling still remembers the old man's kindness, please agree. It’s an old thing.”
Ling Yun said: "What's the matter?"
The old man surnamed Lian said with a solemn expression: "Commander Ling, please show mercy to Lian Nanchun. You can kill anyone in Tianxiao, but you must not hurt her!"
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and said: "Senior made this request. Ling Yun really doesn't understand the reason. Please give me some advice."
The old man surnamed Lian chuckled and said: "Oh! It's better not to say some things now, and I think you will understand in the future. The old man is just asking Commander Ling to agree to this matter - success or failure, but listen to Commander Ling One word!"
Ling Yun became more confused and said: "Even if I can promise not to kill her for the time being, I can't guarantee what will happen to others; and she has sinned so much that no one can save her by then!"
The old man surnamed Lian said: "As long as Commander Ling says this, I will feel relieved. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. If anything unexpected happens, it will be God's will."
Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, sighed softly, and didn't speak for a long time.
He calmed down, then bowed his hands to the old man named Lian and said, "Senior, I'm afraid Ling Yun will have to trouble you with something..." As he said that, he turned around and glanced at Yang Zhen beside him.
Before Ling Yun could continue speaking, the old man named Lian had already spoken: "Did Commander Ling mention your friend's injury? Don't worry -"
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to the front: "This friend of yours was poisoned by Mrs. Yang's Nine Poisons. This is the antidote: the red pills should be taken internally, and the white pills should be crushed and applied externally."
Ling Yun took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly; at the same time, he let out a long breath in his heart, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The old man surnamed Lian said meaningfully: "I still have something to say, I wonder if I should say it?"
Ling Yun said: "Ling Yun respectfully listens to the teachings of our seniors."
The old man surnamed Lian said: "The world is difficult and dangerous, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Commander Ling has a kind heart, but don't trust the people around you too much. Beware of the plots of real villains and hypocrites. Don't give up your sincerity to others."
The other party's words just spoke to Ling Yun's thoughts. He nodded silently and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. Senior's kind words will definitely be engraved in Ling Yun's heart and be remembered at all times."
The old man surnamed Lian raised his head and looked at the sky. The moon was already setting in the west. He said, "It's getting late. Let's say goodbye. See you later!" He turned around to leave.
Ling Yun suddenly said: "Senior, please stay!"
The old man in white stopped and said, "Commander Ling, is there anything else you can do?"
Ling Yun pondered for a moment, then he considered the words and said carefully: "Ling Yun, can I take the liberty to ask: Since my senior also has the surname Lian, I don't know what is your relationship with Lian Nanchun?"
The body of the old man named Lian seemed to tremble suddenly. His back was turned to Ling Yun, his face hidden in the shadows. Ling Yun couldn't see clearly the change of expression on his face. He could only see him staring blankly ahead, his body stiff, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Then he let out a light cry and spun away, like a gust of breeze, disappearing into the vast darkness in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yun stared at the direction in which he was leaving, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was speechless for a long time, seemingly deep in thought...
Yang Zhen entered the Marquis's house at night and was ambushed and injured, which inevitably caused some fluctuations in the people in the house. Fortunately, Yang Zhen's injury was not fatal, and there was an antidote, so everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the Ministry of Punishment's Shangshu Mansion injured another elite, which only made Lu Wenzheng heartbroken. It’s a painful lesson, why is it so painful?
And this incident can make everyone have to believe: there is indeed a spy in Shangshu's house of the Ministry of Punishment; and this person is around; if this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles!
Now we can no longer tolerate and connive, we must find ways to find out the spies.
A tense and solemn atmosphere enveloped the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice.
In the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, there was one person who was most uneasy, and this person was Dong Wu. He was the one who went to the Marquis's Mansion that day to report the news and betrayed Yang Zhen!
In fact, he didn't know the true identity of the eldest son of the He family. He just followed the orders and only knew that He Chenglin was just an informant of Tian Xiao.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to hurt his brother who had worked with him for many years, but he had to bite the bullet and do it.
After he had done all these things without conscience, he felt uneasy; especially in such a severe situation, he was even more afraid that clues would be revealed if he was not careful.
At this time, his only spiritual support is Lanzhu. In the back garden, the two of them looked at no one around, and then they gathered together and whispered nervously.
Lanzhu said: "You were not discovered or followed by anyone before and after you sent the letter, right?"
Dong Wu frowned and thought hard for a long time, and finally shook his head.
Lanzhu said: "Then why are you panicking? Mr. Lu knows that you are loyal and honest; and there are hundreds of people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment. No matter what happens, they will never doubt you!"
Dong Wu frowned and said, "But I still feel uneasy."
Lanzhu said: "You have nothing to do with others. As long as you act calmly and calmly, who will doubt you?"
Dong Wu heard the truth, and his hanging heart was mostly relieved.
Lanzhu looked up at the sky. It was almost noon, and said: "Brother Wu, come to my place for dinner. An adult gave Master Lu a jar of fine old wine, Snowflake Brewing. I took advantage of Mrs. Lu's absence and quietly I poured a small bottle for you to try."
Dong Wudao: "Isn't it a good idea to go to your place? If others see you, they will become suspicious."
Lanzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take a chance and bring it to you before dinner."
Dong Wu was moved and said: "Lan Zhu, in this world, you are the only one who treats me best."
Lanzhu said angrily: "Why are you talking to me about this? Well, it's getting late, I should go."
Dong Wu looked at Pingting's charming figure going away and thought to himself: I will have no regrets about having such a considerate and beautiful woman who knows and loves me, even if I die.
In the evening, Lan Zhu indeed delivered the bottle of snowflake brew.
Dong Wu first took a small sip, and the fragrance was fragrant and filled his mouth. He suddenly became interested and drank up the small bottle of snowflake brew.
Lan Zhubo said angrily: "Look at you, you look like you are dead when you see alcohol. Be careful of getting drunk."
Dong Wu smiled and said: "It's okay, I have a heavy drinking capacity."
Lanzhu was afraid of being seen by others, so she left in a hurry.
After Dong Wu finished his dinner, he felt a little dizzy. He thought it was the power of the wine that had taken effect, so he went to bed and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had fallen asleep. In the hazy moment, he seemed to hear the window lattice banging.
Dong Wu suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, and listened intently. Someone was really knocking on the window.
He felt his heart pounding and said tremblingly: "Who?"
The man outside said coldly: "Don't you know it when we meet?"
Dong Wu was confused and had no choice but to bravely open the door.
The person was dressed in black, with a green-faced and fanged ghost mask on his face, and there was an eerie cold air all over his body.
Dong Wu couldn't help but shudder and trembled: "You are..."
The ghost book man said: "Why, you don't even recognize me?" He raised his hand, and under the cold moonlight, a radiant green jade token appeared in front of him.
Engraved in the center of the token is a soaring cyan owl. On both sides of the pattern are eight seal characters: "Unify the world for generations to come"!
Dong Wu stared blankly at the green jade token, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
The ghost book man said impatiently: "Dong Wu!..."
Dong Wu suddenly woke up and hurriedly leaned down and said: "Gang leader, please forgive me! I didn't know that the gang leader was coming and neglected the gang leader. I wonder what the gang leader Xing Ye has ordered so far?"
The Ghost Book Man said: "Let me ask you: A few days ago, Yang Zhen visited the Marquis' Mansion at night, but did you go to the Marquis' Mansion in advance to report it?"
Dong Wuqi said: "Yes! Why, didn't they report it to the gang leader?"
The Ghost Book Man said: "I think this is clearly your own decision. Otherwise, why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
Dong Wu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this matter was discussed between Lan Zhu and I."
"Lanzhu?"
"Yes! She said she had reported the matter to Gang Leader Lian..." Dong Wu glanced at him cautiously, "Gang Leader, is there an accident somewhere?"
The ghost genealogist sneered and said: "You are asking questions knowingly! If there is no accident, how can the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment be so heavily guarded, as if facing a powerful enemy, chasing spies everywhere? I am looking for it, who leaked the news?"
Dong Wu said in panic: "Gang leader, my subordinates have been walking on thin ice all day long since they were assigned. They will never dare to say another word..."
Ghost Book Man said: "Who else knows about this besides you?"
Dong Wu counted and said: "Lan Zhu is one of them, and the Lian Gang Leader naturally knows it, but I don't know if the Lian Gang Leader has told Kong Se, You Yong, and You Qi about this matter..."
The ghost writer said "Oh!", raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head, thoughtfully.
Suspicion suddenly arose in Dong Wu's heart. He felt that the other person's eyes and the gesture of lowering his head were very familiar.
While he was pondering, he heard a woman outside the window scream: "Dong Wu, you have been fooled!"
Then there was the sound of swords clashing, and the guards outside had already locked hands with the woman.
Dong Wu suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and quickly pulled out his sword and slashed at Guipu Man in the face.
The Guipu man's moves were like lightning, with a "strong wind blowing and flying clouds" move. He met the sword horizontally and knocked Dong Wu's sword away.
Seeing that something was not going well, Dong Wu fluttered and fled out of the window. He was kicked back by someone outside the window with a "Flying Flower Chasing the Moon" style.
Guipu Ren flew forward and kicked Dong Wu in the upper, middle and lower areas with his legs. Dong Wu immediately pounced on him, and Guipu Ren pointed out a bit of wind and hit the big point on his shoulder blade.
Dong Wu raised his head reluctantly. He stared at the face of the visitor and said angrily: "Who are you?..."
The ghost book man sneered and raised his hand to take off his mask. Dong Wu couldn't help but be stunned, "You?...Ling Yun?..."
