Summer mornings are getting hotter day by day. There is already a ray of sunlight shining on the eaves of the wooden house outside, reflecting brilliant light. There were already some rustling sounds in the wooden house.
This simple wooden house was originally an occasional residence for woodcutters who went up to the mountains to cut firewood, so the space inside was not large. Everyone was hiding inside these days, and at night they just slept in their clothes, looking for someone to rely on. corner.
Although the resting environment was not very friendly, Ye Xinghe's injuries were still healing at an astonishing speed.
Jiuxia would habitually check his injuries every morning. This was a habit she had developed when she was in Yaowang Valley. If there were injuries, she would get up every morning to clean their wounds to ensure that they Wounds can heal in a clean environment.
Outside the wooden house, Nan Liluo was pacing back and forth in the open space outside, looking a little anxious.
Every day they would take turns guarding the door, firstly to prevent the Xuanwei Army from searching the mountain, and secondly to prevent the woodcutter who occasionally entered the mountain from accidentally bumping into their foothold and causing unnecessary trouble.
But Nan Liluo was obviously more anxious today. Ultimately, it was because Nan Liyu and Wen Jirou decided to explore Yunzhong City at night.
"I have thought about it for a long time at this time. If I want to solve it completely, I can only see the Holy One again."
Under the dim candlelight late at night, looking at the people gathered around the table, Wen Jirou expressed her thoughts.
"Should we leave for the imperial city?" Nan Liluo asked quickly.
"No," Ran Chen shook his head gently, "Now Gongsun He is using the people of Yunzhong City to force us to show up. If we leave like this, and he continues, I'm afraid many people will suffer. In today's climate, Not many people can survive such exposure."
"Then it's even more impossible for the Holy One to appear here."
"...
When Nan Liluo and Mo Ningyi couldn't help but interrupt, Ranchen noticed Wen Jirou's expression and stretched out his hand to silence the two chattering people. After seeing the two people calm down immediately, he looked at Xiang Wen Jirou: "Do you have an idea?"
He nodded, seemingly hesitant, but still spoke: "I'm not sure whether this method is feasible, but at this moment I think of the most likely possibility."
"What's the solution?"
"It's just that this method requires Miss Gu's help."
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Jianghe who was silent at the side.
"I?"
Even she looked a little surprised.
Wen Jirou nodded and continued: "According to what I know about Gongsun He, he is an extremely vain person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now he would accept such an errand. The Holy One must have promised him a lot. I think Let Miss Gu give me a medicine that can make life worse than death, but will not cause immediate death. I will take this medicine to Gongsun He. If he is scared enough, he will definitely go to the Holy Master at all costs."
"But how could the Holy One believe what he said?" Ranchen hesitated, "If Gongsun He failed, he could have sent someone else here, but how could he put himself in danger."
Wen Jirou shook her head, "I know Xiao Yanjing very well. He is committed to being a wise king, but the way he acts now has already deviated from the magnanimity that a wise king should have. Gongsun He has become a thorn in his side over the years, and he uses Gongsun He as his If this thing succeeds, it will kill two birds with one stone. If it fails, there will be a chance to punish him, and he will not let more people know about it."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Jianghe again: "I know that we are in a situation now, and it may be a little difficult to ask the girl, but the girl here is the only one who knows the art of Qihuang, so I can ask you for this favor."
Gu Jianghe glanced at Jiu Xia beside him: "In the past, when we were in Yaowang Valley, we rarely made similar poisonous pills, but when Jiu Xia went deep into the mountains a few days ago, she accidentally discovered that there were many pills here. If you eat wild Platycladus orientalis leaves, you will suffer from unbearable abdominal pain, foaming at the mouth and other symptoms. Maybe this can help you."
"That's very good." Wen Jirou nodded quickly.
"In that case, let Li Yu accompany you," Ranchen looked at Wen Jirou steadily, "I'm not worried about you being alone."
"Young Master, let me go," Nan Liluo interjected, "My brother has suffered a lot of injuries. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."
Before Nan Liyu could speak, Ranchen shook his head: "No, I need you to stay here to protect everyone. Xinghe's injury has not healed yet, and Sifeng's internal strength has not been reunited. I need you and Ning Yi, what's more, I need Li Yu to do something for me."
"Sir, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Get the Jishidao for me."
"What?!" Except for Nan Liyu, who looked shocked, the others also acted in disbelief.
Gu Jianghe couldn't help but say: "Your body can't use that knife at all."
Ranchen smiled: "Of course I know, but in this situation, we must have a magic weapon to protect us."
In order to retrieve the Jishi Dao for Ranchen, Nan Liyu finally decided to go to Yunzhong City with Wen Jirou.
Ranchen looked at the two of them leaving with a complicated look on his face. What he didn't tell Nan Liyu was that he was determined to get back the Jishi Sword and planned to teach him all this rare martial arts. If he really died this time , he needs someone who can inherit this sword and use it to protect the people behind him.
At this time, he unconsciously turned around and looked at the figure of the person behind him.
There are his brothers since childhood, his confidants, and...
Ranchen's eyes inadvertently fell on Gu Jianghe not far away, that woman who was as cold as the bright moon in winter. In fact, he still doesn't understand his feelings for her. She was so different when they first met. The desperate rescue when they met again caused all kinds of ripples in his heart.
But when he learned about all the entanglements between her and Yunzhong City, he understood that he would never have any more interactions with her in this life.
That day of desperate rescue in Shushi Mountain was the time when the dispute between them ended.
But this time, he and Yunzhong City once again involved her innocently.
He suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, and just hoped that these things would end soon so that he could let her go.
Maybe that's just as well.
It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to stay together.
The Jishi Sword, which was far away in the Weapons Pavilion of Yunzhong City, seemed to feel the sadness of its master. Suddenly, the blade began to tremble and emit a faint blue light.
At the moment when the shelves seemed to be falling apart, Jishi Dao finally became quiet, as if there had never been any movement.
The weapons pavilion returned to its previous calm.
When the light began to move and fell from the roof onto Nan Liluo, there was finally a movement from down the mountain.
Nan Liluo's ears twitched and he immediately felt someone coming. He clenched the sword in his hand and stood nervously at the only passage leading to here under the mountain.
Two shadows dressed in black appeared in his sight, it was Nan Liyu.
He was pleasantly surprised that he finally came back safely, but the next moment, he found two other people following them.
Nan Liyu's expression changed. Looking from a distance, the two people behind him were dressed in silk and satin. They were obviously not ordinary people.
Ranchen in the wooden house noticed something was wrong with Nan Liluo from the window, and walked out quickly to check, but heard Nan Liluo whisper to him: "Master, don't come over, a stranger has followed them back."
