"My subordinates are not doing their job well. Please forgive me, Lord."
A group of men in black, headed by Lin Yu, knelt all over the room. Everyone buried their heads deeply on the ground, a little frightened.
In the dim room, the figure of the man in black seemed to have merged with the ground. In the direction where they were kneeling, sitting on a couch made of seven-screen Guanghan wood, was a man wearing a sapphire blue purple silk cocoon robe. He had a calm face and said nothing, looking coldly at the people kneeling in the room.
The long black curtain hanging down from the roof covered half of the man's figure, making his figure looming, making it difficult to see clearly for a while.
For a while, there was only a slight gasp in the air.
Seeing this, the other person standing next to him seemed to understand his intention. He coughed slightly and said in a high-pitched voice: "Except Lin Yu, everyone else, please step back."
The person lying on the ground behind Lin Yu seemed to have received a huge pardon, and he retreated in fear. After a while, Lin Yu was the only one left in the empty room, still lying on the ground, not daring to move at all. .
I do not know how long it has been.
The man sitting on the couch finally stood up. Seeing this, the people beside him hurriedly moved forward and opened the long black curtain in front of him.
The dim torches on the wall reflected his face in the light.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Lin Yu knelt lower.
"Manager Lin, I really shouldn't expect too much from you," Xiao Yanjing walked slowly in front of Lin Yu. Looking at the man kneeling at his feet, he just glanced at him, then passed him and walked forward again. Taking two steps, "Sifeng's two-handed sword has no opponent among the secret guards. Although he has lost one hand now, it is obvious that he only has his left hand. You still can't beat him, let alone the one who was famous all over the world back then." The Grand Master is gentle and gentle, but what I am confused about is——
Ranchen is just a useless person now, why can't you even deal with him? "
"Back to the Holy Spirit, we were planning to ambush Ranchen at Wuding River, but when we were about to succeed, Wen Jirou returned at some unknown time and led a group of people to shoot us on the bank. The people he brought were ambush level. They are all very high. If we don’t check for a while, we can’t avoid the cold arrow, so...
Failed. "
Xiao Yanjing's breath was very cold.
A pair of dark eyes turned indifferently, not knowing where they landed.
"He actually has such a back-up plan," Xiao Yanjing muttered, "Do you know who they are?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please give me some time. I will do my best to investigate."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Manager Lin make up for your mistakes?" Li Fuzhen stooped and walked to Xiao Yanjing's side, "In the ambush in the past few days, the secret guards lost a lot of people. Let General Manager Lin handle the matter first, and then It’s not too late to punish him.”
"I have an idea," Xiao Yanjing suddenly chuckled, "It is rumored that the Lord of Yunzhong City loves his citizens. We might as well try to see whether Ranchen values his own life or the people in the city more. My life, Eunuch Li."
Li Fuzhen hurriedly stepped forward. After Xiao Yanjing gave him a few instructions in his ear, he left the room with his hands behind his back.
After watching Xiao Yanjing leave, Li Fuzhen turned around and reached out to help Lin Yu, who was kneeling on the ground. Lin Yu stood up in a hurry, touched Li Fuzhen's hands and bowed: "Thank you, father-in-law, for saving your life."
"General Manager Lin," Li Fuzhen said in a high-pitched voice, "If you want to avoid the physical pain, you must not mess up the next errands."
"My father-in-law's instructions, Lin Yu will bear them in mind."
"In that case, you quickly go to Yunzhong City and find General Xuanwei."
"Yes, I will take your orders."
Seeing Lin Yu come back safe and sound, his men were still secretly rejoicing that they had saved their lives, but Xiao Yanjing's brows furrowed even more as he left the dark room.
It seemed that his initial concerns were absolutely correct. Wen Ji and Ranchen had already been colluding with each other. There was such a mysterious master beside him. Even though he carefully cultivated so many secret guards, he was unable to harm them at all.
If they are allowed to continue wandering around in the world, I am afraid that within a few years, the world will become theirs, and for the court, it will be a weapon that can explode at any time.
Contaminated by dust and tenderness, one must die.
At this moment, Xiao Yanjing's inner thoughts were very certain. Wen Jirou knew too much about what he had done when he seized the throne. In order to have peace of mind in the future and for the prince to successfully inherit the throne in the future, he would never let such a person live. In the world.
In just a few days, all the originally ordinary life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Yunzhong City, which has always stood out in the world, was ambushed by a group of men in black who came from nowhere late at night. Half of the disciples in the city were destroyed and became a bamboo forest twenty miles away. The people in the city who were drinking and celebrating together also found varying degrees of beheading. Although the remaining disciples in the city fought hard, they were still unable to withstand more than half of their losses. Even the most capable guards around the city lord resisted with blood, but they still remained Unable to withstand the attack of the killer, he abandoned the city and fled.
In the end, it was the Xuanwei Army stationed nearly a hundred miles away to the north of Yunzhong City that entered the city and killed the intruders, saving the people in the city from suffering more persecution.
For decades, Yunzhong City has always looked aloof and arrogant in the world, and because of his strength, all the sects in the world looked up to him. But now, things have changed overnight.
For a time, countless gangs from south to north began to prepare for action, and each began to secretly form alliances. Although they had not yet seen clearly what the current situation was, one thing was obvious. Yunzhong City and the imperial court may have begun to split.
A period of renewed turmoil in the world is probably coming.
Ranchen and Wen Jirou, who had just escaped from the ambush, had not yet realized what Yunzhong City was about to face.
Anticipating that Wen Jirou might have returned to the Central Plains, Xiao Yanjing mobilized all the secret guards scattered in southern Yunnan overnight. Starting from Yunzhong City, he searched for traces of everyone for hundreds of miles.
Nanli Yuben proposed that he transfer disciples from various divisions back to Yunzhong City, but Ranchen refused.
"This time Yunzhong City suffered this disaster, too many Qingqing Pavilion disciples have lost their lives. I can't involve them anymore."
"But..." Nan Liyu wanted to struggle to say something, but Ranchen stopped him again.
"I know what you mean. Most of the disciples in the city are orphans who were adopted by the master earlier, but almost all the disciples from all over the country joined to support their families. Don't let the grievances now involve them."
"What he said is not unreasonable," Wen Jirou patted Nan Liyu's shoulder, "Apart from the elite disciples of your Qingqing Pavilion chief, the rest should only know some superficial skills. Calling them back is useless. Add some new soul.”
A large-scale search by officers and soldiers will inevitably cause panic among the people. Therefore, the Xuanwei Army only wandered around the surrounding counties and counties under the guise of patrolling, while the secret guards could only search in private, making the search much more difficult. , this move actually gave Ranchen and the others a chance to breathe.
Wen Jirou sent Zhao Da and the others into several teams to inquire about the news nearby, and then he took Ranchen, Sifeng and Nan Liyu to the bamboo house where Gu Jianghe and the others stayed.
He originally thought about whether to go find her at this dangerous time, but they already had internal injuries of varying degrees, especially Si Feng's Xi Shi poison, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to wait that long.
Next to the simple house in the forest, a young man was holding a hatchet and chopping wood on a short tree stump.
With one slash of the knife, the thick wood split in the middle and broke into four pieces.
Moning Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
This woodchopping knife was found in the house. It seems that the farmer who went up to the mountain to chop wood found the knife old and abandoned it here. Although he tried his best to sharpen it, it was still in the way of chopping firewood.
However, Ye Xinghe's injury requires brewing a large amount of herbal medicine. The elixir Nan Liyu secretly brought back from Yunzhong City is actually limited. Although it can save people's lives in critical moments, long-term treatment still requires a large amount of medicine. Fortunately, when Jiu Xia and he were observing the surrounding landforms yesterday, they found that walking further into the mountains, they found many wild herbs, which at this moment, could become their holy medicine for healing injuries.
The other one is Miss Gu.
Mo Ningyi thought of the doctor who was like a cold and bright moon. He couldn't explain how strange it was. He just felt that after she gave Ye Xinghe acupuncture, her complexion seemed to have deteriorated a lot. However, Jiu Xia just told him that the girl just had a recurrence of the old cold illness and needed to It was warmer. After all, the forest was no better than the mountains. After nightfall, he could still feel a bit cold. All he could think of was to prepare more firewood, hoping to keep Miss Gu warm.
For him, Miss Gu saved his young master and now his brother. He could only do his best to protect the safety of the two girls at this moment.
"The physical recovery speed of people who practice martial arts is indeed faster than that of ordinary people."
In the house, Jiuxia replaced Ye Xinghe's wound with new herbs. After Gu Jianghe observed the wound, he couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Xinghe did not put on his shirt. Jiu Xia lowered her head slightly and used her fingertips to gently brush away the old herbs that had been applied to his chest yesterday. Her warm fingertips touched his skin, making Ye Xinghe's face turn red instantly. stand up.
And on Jiuxia's body, that unknown medicinal fragrance surrounded Ye Xinghe and went straight into his nose.
Ye Xinghe, who has lived with a group of men since he was a child, has never been with any women. The doctors in Yunzhong City are all old men, but now they have to undress and let a young woman take medicine, not to mention there is another woman. Watching from the sidelines, this is nothing that a person like him has ever experienced.
Because she was observing the injury on his chest, Jiuxia suddenly felt the unusual heartbeat of Ye Xinghe. She said "Hey", put down the medicine bowl in her hand, opened his wrist, and closed his pulse gate. .
"It's really strange," Jiuxia said doubtfully, "Girl, logically speaking, you think that his golden needles have penetrated all the acupuncture points. Although the injury is serious, it should not be harmful at all. But his heartbeat is too strange. It is not like the heartbeat of an ordinary person." It will be so fast, not to mention that he is still a martial arts practitioner."
Gu Jianghe tilted his head and looked at the two people sitting by the bed changing dressing with interest. There was a hint of cunning in his light blue eyes.
"girl?"
Jiuxia Banxiang, who was checking her pulse carefully, couldn't hear Gu Jianghe's answer. When she looked up, she saw her staring at her with a smile. She suddenly felt a chill down her spine and felt herself shaking, "Girl, what are you laughing at?" Well, come and take a look."
"I don't think he was injured," Gu Jianghe glanced at Ye Xinghe who was sitting on the bed, walked to the door, and said while opening the door, "As for the reason, you can check it yourself."
"Oh, girl..."
Ignoring Jiuxia's desperate calls, Gu Jianghe turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Ye Xinghe, who had not spoken a word, coughed slightly and was a little embarrassed to speak: "I feel sorry for disturbing the girl's consultation, but I have never met a doctor as young as a girl before, so..."
When I was in Medicine Valley, although there were all kinds of people who came to seek medical treatment, there were very few young warriors with martial arts skills like Ye Xinghe, not to mention treating injuries. There were many medical women in Medicine Valley, and I suddenly remembered that Ye Xinghe just now Only then did Jiuxia realize that there was something wrong with the distance between applying the medicine.
Although she felt something was wrong, she was a doctor after all. She didn't think about it deeply, but at this moment, this move stirred the injured man's heart.
