The old woman wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes, and stood up as an excuse: "You are awake, but you can't feed. This child is pitiful, and I can't bear to force him."

Shui Jing nodded, turned around and strode into the room.

Xie Wuyi lay quietly on the couch with his eyes closed, just like before Shui Jing left.

Shui Jing thought that he had fallen asleep again, but when he got closer, he realized that his aura did not seem to be sleeping, and he knew it immediately.

He raised his hand and gently undid the acupoints that he had tapped before he left to prevent him from messing around after waking up, but Xie Wuyi didn't seem to notice, and remained motionless.

Shi Jiu followed Shui Jing into the room, looked at Xie Wuyi on the couch, then at the porridge and side dishes that the old woman had brought on the small table, lifted his clothes and sat down by the table, saying: "Yo , this porridge looks good."

Shui Jing turned around and squinted at him, with the words "Didn't you just finish eating?"

Shijiu turned a blind eye, scooped up the porridge with a spoon, casually said: "You don't know, I didn't even have food in prison with those saltsmiths a few days ago, they were tortured every day, and they still have the strength Encourage each other, even if you swear to die, you can't confess the secret technique, I think it is not far from death now."

Shui Jing immediately understood his intentions, turned his head and glanced at Xie Wuyi, seeing that his brows were slightly frowned, apparently listening to what he said word for word.

Shi Jiu seemed to be unaware, and La said to Shui Jing in a familiar way: "You really are, originally they were planning to bump their heads to death to have a good time, why didn't you promise them that 'His Royal Highness will come to rescue', Let them rekindle their thoughts and be willing to continue to endure the torture."

Xie Wuyi's Adam's apple twitched, his brows furrowed a little deeper.

Shui Jing saw that the method of releasing wine was indeed effective, and he was slightly relieved, but knowing that it was not enough, he turned around and cooperated and replied: "I didn't intend to say that, but they didn't care about their own situation. I only cared about the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, so I had no choice but to give them a reassurance so that they would not despair."

Shi Jiu continued to fan the flames and said: "You have lived for a thousand years anyway, don't you know the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment? I am afraid that His Royal Highness, the crown prince they are thinking of so much, wants to die now, so how can you care about them? It is better to persuade them They will end it on their own, and they will not be tormented with false thoughts, and in the end, not only will they die, but they will suffer for a few more days for nothing."

Shui Jing was about to continue to fuel the fire, when he heard a helpless sigh from the couch behind him, Xie Wuyi opened his eyes, propped up his upper body on the couch, and said in a hoarse voice, "Where are they now?"

The boulder in Shui Jing's heart finally fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth slightly bent.

He has never liked Shijiu's unforgiving mouth as much as he does today. He used to only know that it can ridicule, sarcasm and irritate people, but now he realizes that it has the power to rejuvenate.

Shi Jiu showed just the right amount of surprise, and said, "Huh? Are you awake?"

Seeing that he was still acting, Shui Jing shook his head helplessly and walked over to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's too late, you're too fake."

Shi Jiu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, and said no more.

How could Xie Wuyi not know that their singing and chorus were all intentionally for himself, but what they said was really something he couldn't ignore. Seeing that Shijiu shut his mouth, he had no choice but to ask again: "Where are they now?" ?”

Shi Jiu tapped the mouth of the bowl with a porcelain spoon, and said, "So what if you know where they are? With your body that can be blown down by a gust of wind, can you still save people?"

Xie Wuyi naturally knew what he meant by what he said. He stared at him for a while, and finally sighed softly as if in compromise. sound, wiped the corner of his mouth.

Shi Jiu casually dusted the empty bowl he put down, looked away and got up and said, "Okay, let him explain to you what your master has set up."

After all, he turned and walked out the door.

Only Xie Wuyi and Shui Jing were left in the room. Shui Jing walked to the desk and sat down, saying: "You don't have to worry too much, I have taught them how to deal with it, and they won't be tortured again in a short time."

Xie Wuyi didn't make a sound, but he was obviously relieved, staring at the table and nodded.

Shui Jing said: "Besides saving those salt workers, we need to find a few people."

Xie Wuyi was a little puzzled, and looked up at him.

Shui Jing reported the names and identities of the seven people one by one, and the doubt in Jie Wuyi's eyes gradually turned into surprise.

These people are all well-known legendary figures in various countries. Although Xie Wuyi has never met them, he often hears their names in the spies from various countries.

Xie Wuyi frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "What is Master going to do?"

"It's not me," Shui Jing said as a matter of course, "It's you."

Before Xie Wuyi could ask, Shui Jing continued: "Don't you want revenge? If you fold yourself in and kill a few people, that's not considered revenge. If you want to repay, just repay it honestly. How about replacing it?"

A cluster of flames clearly ignited in Xie Wuyi's eyes, but they darkened again in an instant. He lowered his head and looked at himself, and laughed wryly at himself, "Is it just because of my current appearance?"

Shui Jing said: "Those people I mentioned just now will be used by you."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Wuyi suddenly realized the intention of Shui Jing.

Those people mentioned by Shui Jing just now seem to have no overlapping fields in terms of identities, but in terms of experience, they seem to all have one thing in common—they have suffered from the attack of Daluan.

Xie Wuyi was a little stunned for a while, he didn't know why Shui Jing could say it so firmly, but all these years, his master has always said nothing, and thinking about the identities and positions of those people, Xie Wuyi's heart inevitably rippled .

Seeing that his face was shaken, Shui Jing said while the iron was hot: "Okay, this matter is settled, all you need to do now is to take care of your body, and when you recover to the original state, we will go and find everyone. What should we do next?" I'll talk to you about it later."

Xie Wuyi stared at him for a long time, his eyes flickering, all kinds of emotions intertwined, tremblingly said: "Master..."

Shui Jing raised her hand to block his words, and said with a smile: "Don't say any more words that your kindness is as heavy as a mountain and cannot be repaid. I will treat these debts as you owe them first, and I will pay them back when everything is over in the future." here."

Xie Wuyi's mind was explained in one word, not only did not feel embarrassed, but calmed down a little, and after a while he lowered his eyes and said: "Thank you, Master."

……

Half a month later, the three of them set off from Sangdi and headed north to Lanzhao.

Ulanda, who was put under house arrest by the leader of Tuzhao, Tukebaan, was the first person in Shui Jing's list. He was not only the former owner of the Ulan tribe, but also held a horse post in his hand that could guard Lanzhao's war horse. Not to be underestimated.

More importantly, the fact that he was framed by Tukebaan has not been known for a long time. In the future, as long as he finds the right time to expose it properly, it can help Ulanda regain his old ministry and use it for Xie Wuyi.

In order to deceive others, Tukebaan hid Ulanda in a remote grassland far away from the inhabited area. After a big fire broke out, he was easily brought out while taking advantage of the chaos.

Ulanda has a straightforward personality and is about the same age as Xie Wuyi. After hearing the intentions of Shui Jing and the other three, he joined this "camp" without hesitation.

Originally, Shui Jing planned to go to Baihe in the northeast to persuade Huo Jue after rescuing Ulanda, and then rescue the saltsmith with the help of the Huo family army.But just when they were about to reach Baihe, Da Luan suddenly raised his troops to attack Zhong Ling.

Thinking about the possibility that Emperor Daluan would attack the two protons after the collapse of the Zhongling Kingdom, they decided to advance the arrangement of saving Zhong Zangyan's brothers and sisters and went to Luandu first.

Unexpectedly, before they could plan the details of their actions, the brother and sister suddenly chose to set fire to the posthouse and escape from it on New Year's Eve.

When the incident happened suddenly, Shui Jing and the others had no choice but to play by ear, causing Ulanda to use the imperial horse post to drive the carriage on a rampage, taking the two brothers and sister out of Zhai Tian's sight, and then brought them to the place where they stayed in Beijing.

Since the order of the plan was disrupted, Shui Jing simply decided to advance the matter of saving the saltsmith.

Half a month later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a feast for the Yuan Palace in the palace, and the Jingzhong Lantern Festival was very lively.

When night fell, Shijiu and Ulanda "appeared" with their brothers and sisters Zhong Zangyan more than ten miles outside the city, in order to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attract a large number of people in Beijing to hunt it down.

At the same time, Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi visited the sky prison at night, "smuggled" the saltsmith out, mixed in with the night market crowd, and then quietly gathered in that residential house.

When Daluan learned that Tianlao had been robbed, he wanted to go out of the city to hunt it down, but unexpectedly, the dozen or so of them never left the capital, and the search outside the city naturally found nothing.

After settling down, Xie Wuyi asked the saltworkers what their plans were for the future. They thought they would want to live a stable life after they regained their freedom, but unexpectedly, after hearing that Xie Wuyi wanted to restore the country, they all expressed their hope to follow His Highness.

Shui Jing was not surprised by this, but it was inconvenient for such a large group of people to move together, so he ordered the salt craftsmen to stay in Luandu for a while and wait until Shui Jing and the others had found all the people.

Just when they were planning to leave for Baihe according to the original plan, Daluan once again made an unexpected move. After capturing Zhongling, the army turned and went straight to the southwest, continuing to gnaw at the hard bone of Qiguo.

The eldest son of Emperor Qi Guo was also on Shui Jing's list, but he was originally arranged after Huo Jue, but now he had to be brought forward.

Going southwest to Qijing, Shui Jing finally knew why Daluan was able to attack Yudu so quickly.

Daluan's game of chess is so cunning that even Shui Jing has to be speechless.

During the four years that Daluan stationed troops in Qijing, it was not that he failed to break through the barrier of miasma and marshes, but that he "teared" a hole as early as the first year, but he did not go deep into it with much fanfare.

They sent soldiers and horses through this "crack" into the mountain forest stationed at the junction of the eastern part of Qi State and Yu State, and asked them to dig a secret road leading to Yu State at the foot of the mountain at the border between the two countries.

Outside the border of Qi State, Da Luan made false appearances to make the spies think that the disappearing soldiers and horses were "swallowed" by miasma during the attack on Qi State, and then continued to transfer troops to Qi State under the pretext of replenishing soldiers and horses. .

From the perspective of various countries, in the past four years, the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Daluan on the border of Qi State has been decreasing and increasing. The total number has always been around 15, but in fact it has only increased. .

It was only at this time that Xie Wuyi revealed the reason for turning the detection report from light to dark.

During the two months when Shui Jing returned to Beihai, Yudu did receive a spy report from Daluan to send troops to the Qi territory, but in fact, he received not one but two spy reports.
