Thousand-faced Man's martial arts skills are not as good as Zhang Ren's, but he is definitely not weak in the arena. Coupled with his ability to disguise himself, the possibility of being intercepted and killed in the arena is extremely low.
Zhang Ren had a life-long friendship with Qian-Mian Man. Qian-Mian Man would always help him regardless of reward. Among the huge Jinyi Guards, there was only one person he could completely trust.
Even Luo Kedi and Gao Haiyong are believed to be behind the Thousand-Faced Man. Zhang Ren feels sad in his heart. He only hates that the medical level of this era is not developed enough. All he can do now is to do his best and obey fate.
Li Xue, who was on the side, took out a medicine bottle from her own body, poured out a red pill from it, and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the Thousand-Faced Man. Then she tapped the Thousand-Faced Man's neck, and then tapped the Thousand-Faced Man. Face Man's chest, and then Thousand Face Man swallowed the pill.
Zhang Ren looked at Li Xue and asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Can it save the life of Senior Brother Qianmianren?"
Li Xue shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this medicine was made by a poison doctor, so it must have some effect."
"It is rumored that the Poison Doctor is the best doctor in the world. His medical skills are unpredictable. Although he is not capable of killing people, he is already considered the top doctor in this era. Of course, his nickname contains the word "Poison". ”, it shows that he is also a poison expert, and he is mean and does not easily show his illness to others.
Everyone has their own experience, so Zhang Ren didn't ask Li Xue how he got the medicine. Zhang Ren nodded toward Li Xue, and when he turned around, he saw Thousand Faces Man's throat rolling again, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The Thousand-Faced Man woke up slowly. He first glanced at Li Xue, and there was a clear flash of light in his eyes, but it only passed away briefly.
He looked at Zhang Ren again, a smile appearing on his pale face, "I got the imperial edict, Zhang Ren, you can now be fully responsible for the negotiations with Yan Jun.
"As he said this, he took out an imperial edict from his pocket with difficulty. The originally bright imperial edict was now stained with a lot of blood.
Zhang Ren took it with trembling hands and said softly: "Brother Qianmianren, thank you for your hard work." Qianmianren smiled and shook his head and said feebly: "It's not hard work. As long as the negotiation is successful, many people will die. So what happens next is up to you.
"After saying that, he coughed violently. It wasn't until he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood that he calmed down a lot.
Zhang Ren began to continuously deliver internal energy into his body again. The face of the Thousand-faced Man finally turned a little rosy, and he continued to speak: "Your Majesty has issued several imperial edicts, some for you, some for Sheng Yong, and some for King Yan. Your Majesty has set the location for the negotiations. Dongchang City, I think they are all heading towards Dongchang City at this moment.
"Sheng Yong is now General Pingyan and is in charge of Pingyan's many matters. When he comes to Dongchang to negotiate, he will naturally bring a lot of troops as backup. After all, no one knows the outcome of the negotiation. If the negotiation is successful, what will happen? Okay, if we can't negotiate, let's go to war.
Naturally, King Yan Zhu Di will not come alone. He will definitely mobilize all his troops. By then, the place where the two armies will confront each other will change from Hangzhou to Dongchang.
Once the two parties arrive, Dongchang City will definitely close its gates. If the negotiation is successful, everyone will be happy. If the negotiation is not successful, Dongchang City will become a battlefield.
Zhang Ren knew that Li Xue and Liu Erbing had to leave with Tong Yi now. If the city gate was closed, they would no longer be able to leave easily.
Zhang Ren immediately turned to Li Xue and Liu Erbing and said, "Take Tong Yi and leave immediately. If you don't leave, it will be too late!
Tong Yi stared at her huge eyes, obviously unwilling to leave, but now that her acupuncture points were sealed, she had no control over everything.
Li Xue and Liu Erbing were both smart people, and they naturally knew that the situation was urgent. Li Xue lazily picked up Tong Yi and jumped out in one stride. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at Zhang Ren and said : "When Tong Yi is sent to Wudang Mountain, do you need me to help you?"
"Zhang Ren shook his head gently, "Thank you, senior sister, for your kindness. The situation in Dongchang Mansion is changing rapidly. Senior sister, it's better not to come into this muddy water.
Li Xue nodded and said, "Okay, take care of yourself." Zhang Ren returned the gift, "Senior sister, please take care of yourself."
"Li Xue took one last look at the Thousand-Faced Man and thought to himself: This Thousand-Faced Man's martial arts skills are pretty good. It would be a pity to die like this.
Liu Erbing and Li Xue took Tong Yi away. Until this moment, Qianmiancai raised his eyes and looked at Li Xue's back. He had countless things to say, but in the end he just sighed and shook his head gently.
The Thousand-faced Man seemed to laugh at himself and said to Zhang Ren, "Zhang Ren, can I ask for something?" Zhang Ren shook his head firmly, "No!
"This kind of plot is all too familiar. Zhang Ren is really afraid that if he agrees, the Thousand-Faced Man will turn his head and die.
Thousand-faced Man smiled, "Why are you doing this? You should know that people will die sooner or later.
"The body of the Thousand-Faced Man is very clear. There are dozens of wounds on the body, the meridians in the body are broken, and the bones are broken a lot. Even with the healing elixir given by Senior Sister Li Xue, it is just a matter of hanging on. .
Zhang Ren was silent for a moment and said: "Too many people have died around me, and you are one of the few people I can trust, so I don't want you to die.
"The Thousand-faced Man smiled, "Then I should really feel honored. But I really want to ask you for something.
"Zhang Ren took a deep breath. He also understood in his heart that the life of the Thousand-Faced Man might not be saved. It would be better to promise the Thousand-Faced Man one thing than to let the Thousand-Faced Man leave with regrets.
Zhang Ren nodded slightly and said, "You tell me." The Thousand-Faced Man pointed at his ugly face and said, "Please help me take off this human skin mask.
Zhang Ren was stunned. He knew that the Thousand-Faced Man was good at disguising himself. He thought that the face he saw every day was the true face of the Thousand-Faced Man, but he didn't want it to be just a human skin mask.
Zhang Ren raised his hand and searched for a long time before finally finding an opening in the back of the Thousand-Faced Man. He followed the opening and finally revealed the Thousand-Faced Man's true appearance.
To be honest, the Thousand-Faced Man has sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes. Except for his pale face due to injury, he is definitely a handsome guy.
Even Zhang Ren felt inferior at this point. "You are so handsome, why don't you show your true colors to others?" Zhang Ren asked in confusion.
Thousand-faced Man smiled awkwardly, "Mainly because I don't want to be recognized, but now that I've taken off this mask, I feel like I can breathe a lot easier. Zhang Ren, I'm going to die anyway, how about I tell you a secret?"
"Zhang Ren nodded, "You tell me." "The Thousand-Faced Man is my nickname. Aren't you curious about my real name?
asked the Thousand-Faced Man. Zhang Ren nodded again, "I was curious before, but I didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to tell it, it's useless for me to ask, but now I really want to know, otherwise I'll wait for you to die." I don't even know what to write on your tombstone, unless you can survive this ordeal.
"The Thousand-faced Man smiled, "Looking at what you said, of course I want to tell you my name, but you can't write it on my tombstone.
Zhang Ren was puzzled, "Why is this?" The Thousand-Faced Man looked at the direction in which Li Xue disappeared, and then said, "My real name is Zeng Qingda."
"Zhang Ren was stunned. Zeng Qingda, isn't this the person that senior sister is looking for? He immediately got up and went out.
However, the Thousand-faced Man used his remaining strength to hold Zhang Ren, "What are you doing?" Zhang Ren turned around anxiously and said, "Senior sister hasn't gone far yet, so of course I want to find her back!
"The Thousand-faced Man sighed, "It seems that Li Xue told you about me and her?" Zhang Ren shook his head, "No, but senior sister has been looking for your whereabouts these years. I found her and also It could put an end to her worries.
The Thousand-Faced Man looked at Zhang Ren with burning eyes and asked, "I'm really about to die. Do you think it's a good thing to find her now?"
Zhang Ren stood there stunned. After a moment, he squatted down next to the Thousand-faced Man again and asked, "You are the person that Senior Sister is longing for, why don't you want to recognize her?"
"When he said this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel a little more angry. Since they are right in front of us, of course it is better to get to know each other quickly, it is better than missing each other.
The Thousand-faced Man looked up at the sky and said softly: "I had a martial arts dream when I was a child. Jianghu is the place I admire most. But when I set foot in Jianghu, I realized that Jianghu is not as beautiful as I imagined. I didn't know martial arts at that time, and I was seriously injured just after I set foot in the world. Fortunately, the governor saved me at that time. He taught me martial arts and the ability to disguise myself. Just like that, there was a Thousand-Faced Man among the Jinyi Guards.
"Zhang Ren was puzzled, "What does what you are talking about have to do with my senior sister?" Thousand-faced Man continued: "It was because of the martial arts dream that I left the village. Later, the Beiyuan people went south and slaughtered the village. , Li Xue was the only one in the village who survived. Of course, I only found out about this later.
My family members all died, and so did Li Xue. When she felt the most desperate and scared, I couldn't be by her side, so she must blame me, right?
"Zhang Ren sighed, "I don't know whether senior sister blames you, but I can see from senior sister's eyes that every time she thinks of the name Zeng Qingda, there is light in her eyes.
Zeng Qingda nodded lightly, "It's good to have light. Actually, I really don't know whether she blames me, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. The whole village is dead, but I can't accompany them in the village." Faced with this, when I dream, I always hear people in the village shouting, 'Zeng Qingda, where are you?
I can't forgive myself. I wanted to wait until you arrived in Jinling and everything was stable before I confessed my identity to Li Xue. But now it seems that I may not have this chance.
"At this point, Zeng Qingda's eyes lit up a little, and he continued: "Zhang Ren, my last request is that after I die, don't write my name on the tombstone, and don't let Li Xue know that I am Zeng Qingda. Let Zeng Qingda live forever. Live in her heart so that there will always be light in her eyes.
"Zhang Ren thought for a moment and finally nodded. Zeng Qingda smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Zhang Ren.
I want to put on a more handsome pose. If I die too ugly, I will feel sorry for my face..." Zeng Qingda said, trying hard to move his body, and then he made no sound anymore.
The "Man with a Thousand Faces" Zeng Qingda, whom Jiang Wei was most optimistic about at the time, also died. Night Rivers and Lakes. (After reading this, remember to bookmark it for next time reading!
