"Master Ding, the spies have been lurking in your house for such a long time, don't you realize it at all?"
In the living room of Ding's house, everyone was discussing something. Suddenly they noticed something strange happening outside, so Li Ruiyun asked Ding Jinzhi coldly.
Ding Jinzhi hurriedly ordered the acting housekeeper Ding Yi to come over.
Facing the questioning look in his master's eyes, Ding Yi said tremblingly: "Master Qi, that man's surname is Mu. Because he is in the fifth position, we all call him Mu Laowu. He is a new servant in the mansion."
Ding Jinzhi pondered: "Mu Laowu? New here, when did you come?"
Ding Yidao: "I have been here for about more than a month. I was introduced here by the Second Young Master."
"What, Jiying?..." A look of surprise flashed across Ding Jinzhi's eyes, "What is going on?"
Ding Yi murmured: "This... I don't know much about this. I only heard from the second young master that this man was a distant relative of his friend. His family lived in the countryside. There was a drought and a plague, and the whole family died. He came to the capital alone and just wanted to make a living, so he found the second young master and stayed in our house."
"It's been a long time, and it turns out there was a fire in the backyard!" Li Ruiyun sneered with unknown meaning, and his black eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.
Ding Jinzhi said angrily: "This bastard! - Come on, come and find him for me!"...
It was almost noon on this trip.
The sun hung motionless high above the head, scorching everything on the ground; the weeds were sleeping in the scorching heat, and even the leaves seemed to have been wilted in the sun, their heads drooping listlessly.
But Li Zhishan, Liu Yujie and "Zhou Shan" followed the man's traces out of the capital.
The man was highly skilled in martial arts, and was particularly good at light kung fu. Although he was injured, he was still able to defeat the enemy with his strong will and excellent light kung fu during his escape.
Outside the city, there are overgrown weeds, towering mountains and forests, and the terrain is complex. Although there were three people on Li Zhishan's side, the extremely unfavorable terrain made them constrained and they soon lost their target.
There is a two-way intersection ahead. Liu Yujie and "Zhou Shan" stopped and looked back at Li Zhishan, waiting for the leader's instructions.
Li Zhishan's strange eyes flashed, and he pondered for a while and said: "The three of us will split up: Liu Yujie, Zhou Shan, you two will chase from the left road; I will chase from the right road - that's it, right away action!"
The two men responded and followed the order. Li Zhishan chased down the fork on the right.
Let's talk about Liu Yujie and "Zhou Shan" walking along the path on the left. After walking for about ten miles, they already had clues.
Liu Yujie's eyes flashed with excitement and cruelty. He glanced sideways at "Zhou Shan" next to him and said, "Attention, there is movement ahead. Hey, God is really wise. The credit this time belongs to our brothers!"
"Zhou Shan" didn't speak, only said a faint "hmm", and there was no trace of emotion on his face like an iceberg that lasted ten thousand years.
Liu Yujie was so eager to make a contribution that he didn't notice the unusual indifference of "Zhou Shan" and flew away.
As expected, that person was right in front. He was hit by Li Ruiyun's sleeve arrow in the right chest and was seriously injured. He lost too much blood during the escape, and he was exhausted after running such a long distance through gritted teeth.
Liu Yujie shouted loudly, and with a "flying flower and jade" move, he fiercely attacked the man's head!
The man was at the end of his crossbow. When he saw his opponent's fierce moves coming, he could only block them with his sword.
After supporting and prevaricating a few moves, he was overwhelmed. When the opponent's "spring went and spring came back" sword swing, he no longer had the strength to dodge with large movements. He could only bend his body and fall down. on the ground.
But when he stood up again, Liu Yujie's ghastly long sword was already blowing a cold light into his heart.
The man sighed softly, closed his eyes and waited for death.
However, Liu Yujie turned the hilt of the sword and hit his "shoulder blade", "soft numbness" and other major points.
Liu Yujie looked at the man on the ground with a proud face. When he saw that he was dressed as a servant of the Ding family, with a strange face and a dull expression, he couldn't help but look ferocious, and asked: "Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here?"
The man snorted coldly and just closed his eyes silently.
Liu Yujie sneered: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I can know where you are."
He lowered his head and raised his hand, wiped it on the man's face, and then peeled off a human skin mask.
Looking at it, he couldn't help being shocked, then he smiled and said: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Captain Yang from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment! What a pleasure to meet you!"
Although Liu Yujie had already guessed that the person coming was probably from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, he never expected that this person turned out to be Yang Zhen, and he couldn't help but feel elated.
He turned back to "Zhou Shan" and said: "Brother Zhou, I didn't expect that our brothers would make such a contribution. As long as Yang Zhen is captured, there will be no need to worry about finding Ling Yun. When the time comes -"
"Zhou Shan" raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, glanced over with disdain with his narrow eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Not bad, and I know where Ling Yun is now."
"Oh, do you know where Ling Yun is?..." Liu Yujie's eyes widened in horror.
"Zhou Shan's" eyes were as sharp as a blade, full of frightening murderous intent, and extremely cold. He said almost word for word: "He is right in front of you!"
Before Liu Yujie could calm down, Zhou Shan's shot was like lightning, and his sword was like a rainbow. The cold light flashed through Liu Yujie's heart without the handle.
At the same time, Zhou Shan's figure turned like a whirlwind, preventing Liu Yujie's spurting blood from splattering on his clothes.
The posture is as graceful as a flying dragon, free and elegant, extremely relaxed and beautiful.
Liu Yujie's heavy body suddenly collapsed to the ground. His scarlet eyes widened, as if he was extremely unwilling to do so, and hissed: "Why...what..."
Ling Yun returned to his original tone and said coldly: "Because I am Ling Yun."
Liu Yujie was dying at this time, but his mind was still clear.
The muscles on his face twitched in pain, and he said intermittently: "Yes, in fact, with your... movement skills just now, apart from Ling Yun, there will never be another... second person in this world, alas! Why didn't I... earlier? What do you think?..." After finishing speaking, he was already breathless.
Ling Yun silently closed his eyes, sighed softly, turned around and walked to Yang Zhen, unblocked his acupuncture points, and gently helped him up.
"Brother Ling, is it really you?" Yang Zhen looked into Ling Yun's eyes intently, with tiny waves faintly flashing in his eyes.
Ling Yun felt as if something like a ball of cotton was being choked in his throat. He was speechless and just nodded with tears in his eyes.
Yes, the two have worked together for many years and are very familiar with everything about each other. Although their appearance and clothes have changed at this time, each other's demeanor, voice and temperament, especially the eyes, will never change. of.
With the excitement and joy of surviving the disaster, the two hugged each other tightly...
After a long time, the two of them adjusted their turbulent emotions and returned to their original calm state.
Yang Zhen asked: "By the way, Brother Ling, why did you suddenly look like this and appear in this place again?"
Ling Yun said: "Don't ask me in a hurry, just tell me about you?"
Yang Zhen sighed: "It's hard to describe in one word."
Ling Yun said: "Both. But our intentions are the same. In order to find out the truth about the prince's case, and to clear up Mr. Lu's grievances, we changed our identities and sneaked into the tiger's den to wait for an opportunity, right?"
Yang Zhen nodded.
Ling Yun said: "The situation is urgent now. Since it is difficult to describe it in one word, it is naturally difficult for us to explain it in detail now. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future. Let's just talk about it now."
Yang Zhenshen nodded in agreement, looked at Ling Yun with his eyes wide and said, "What about Brother Ling's opinion?"
Ling Yun frowned slightly and said: "Now that you are seriously injured, it is inconvenient to move; and too much action will expose the target. It is better to remain unchanged in response to all changes, and wait here quietly, and I will have someone come to pick you up immediately."
After saying that, he raised his head and whistled softly, and in a moment a beautiful white dove fluttered its wings and landed on his lapel.
Ling Yun lifted up the skirt of his clothes, tore off a piece of clothing from his middle coat, bitten his middle finger, and wrote a few words on it with flying dragons and phoenixes:
"Yu Qing saw the words as if he had met:
"Hurry up and come to Yulin, five miles east of Baishiyan outside the city. There is a friend who is in urgent need of help. Please."
After writing, fold the calligrapher, tie it to the pigeon's leg, and let the white pigeon fly.
Ling Yun looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I should go back - Brother Yang, please take care of yourself."
Yang Zhen was reluctant to leave and said with tears: "Brother Ling, you must be more careful. The palace is surrounded by dangers and dangers..."
Ling Yun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the throbbing was like a drop of water, instantaneous and traceless. He smiled softly and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of myself."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Yang Zhengong and turned away...
On the Ding Mansion side, Ding Jiying had already heard the news and came over. Under his father's interrogation, he lowered his head in frustration and weakly told the story of the matter. His words were the same as what Ding Yi had just said.
Li Ruiyun lowered his eyebrows and played with the crystal clear jade ring in his hand carelessly, seeming thoughtful.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head, and a sharp look flashed through his eyes, "Second Young Master, what do you call the friend of yours who introduced outsiders to come here to seek employment?"
Ding Jiying's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled nonchalantly and said: "That friend of mine is just a fair-weather friend, an ignorant and ignorant playboy, how can he be able to reach the upper echelons of society? Just don't mention it."
Li Ruiyun raised the corners of his lips slightly and sneered: "Really? I'm afraid this person is not the young master's fair-weather friend, but a confidante, right?"
The veins on Ding Jiying's forehead jumped unconsciously, and he felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. He avoided the other party's sharp eyes with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "Young Master Li made fun of you, but actually..."
"Second Young Master! Second Young Master!..." A frizzy voice suddenly interrupted what Ding Jiying was about to say.
Everyone was stunned and thought to themselves: "Who is this stupid guy? He is so reckless and has no rules at all?"
Looking up, I saw Ding Jiying's close family member Ding Xin walking in, sweating profusely and panting, with a panicked look on his face.
Ding Jiying's heart trembled and he asked urgently: "Tell me, what happened?"...
