Rebellious officials bow their heads

Ye Liuzhou was caught unsuspectingly, and he struggled in shock, but the man was so strong that he couldn't shake him at all. The two of them dragged and startled a bird in the bamboo forest, flapping its wings and flying away.

He pulled the man away and wanted to turn around to see the other person's appearance clearly. The other party suppressed Ye Liuzhou's violent struggle, grabbed his arm with one hand, and covered his mouth with the other.

Ye Liuzhou opened his mouth and bit it hard.

The man hissed, but didn't let go.

Ye Liuzhou quickly tasted the smell of blood, and was lifted vigorously by the other party, his feet were off the ground, and he was forced to turn around from mid-air, almost embedded in the man's arms, instinctively lowered his eyes, and met the man with a pair of obsidian-like eyes. eyes.

Bamboo leaves fluttered down from the air, several green bamboos swayed slightly, and a leaf fell on the man's black hair.

"Xu..." The hand still didn't move away from Ye Liuzhou's face, he opened his pupils wide, looked at Xu Yan for a few breaths, then stretched out his hand and hugged him whole.

There was no special expression on Xu Yan's face, but his eyes showed a sense of relief. His tense shoulders and arms relaxed, and he also stretched out his hands to hug each other tightly.

Bamboo leaves are scattered all over the sky, and the green color reflects the blue sky.

"I've been looking for..." Before Ye Liuzhou finished speaking, Xu Yan shook his finger at him, then pointed to the outside of the bamboo forest, and handed him a small note.

Ye Liuzhou understood, Xu Yan put him down, didn't care about the bloody teeth marks on his palm, brushed off the fallen leaves on his shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "I'll take a step first."

Ye Liuzhou looked at the other party and nodded.

Xu Yan turned around and walked away quickly to the depths of the bamboo forest. Ye Liuzhou suddenly heard footsteps coming from the other end. Looking over, it turned out to be Jing Yuan following behind.

The young man pushed aside the emerald bamboo that blocked his sight, scanned the forest, and his eyes fell on Ye Liuzhou's face. He froze for a moment, and asked, "Who is that man?"

"Who else is here besides us?" Ye Liuzhou said casually, "What are you doing here?"

Jing Yuan pointed to his mouth expressionlessly.

Ye Liuzhou raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and found that there was a smear of blood on his hand, which should have bitten Xu Yan's hand just now.

He coughed, "I'm on fire, yes, on fire...Speaking of which, why are you following me?"

The young man looked cold and walked straight out of the bamboo forest without answering.

Ye Liuzhou followed, left the three gates of the capital, went back to the other courtyard of the Yuan Mansion, closed the doors and windows, and opened the note, which read:

Yuan Xuanfeng already knew that the Ji family sent people to Lingbei, and they are sending spies and dead soldiers to search one by one. You will not be found if you stay with the people from Dingjian Villa for the time being.

Turning over the back, a detailed map of Yuan Mansion was drawn.

Ye Liuzhou stared at the note for a while, wrote down the map, got up and burned the paper on the candle.

Not long after, Jing Fuling came back and said loudly outside the door: "What's the matter with you two leaving as soon as you said? Why didn't you invite me! In the evening, Yuan's family invited all the knights who participated in the three-door competition, will you go?"

Ye Liuzhou opened the door, and said with a smile: "If you don't go, will you have nothing to eat at night?"

"Yes." Jing Fuling turned her head and knocked on Jing Yuan's door opposite.

"Will Yuan Xuan Summit attend?" He asked.

"That guy won't show up on such an occasion. It's a pity that he died. It is estimated that the general of the capital will come forward to host." Jing Fuling said, "Senior brother, you should come out soon!"

The door opened with a squeak, and she almost fell in. Holding her body steady, the young man came out from the side, and the three of them went to the main hall in front together.On the way, only Jing Fuling chattered loudly, and the other two responded to each other, rather absent-mindedly, and the other completely adhered to the principle that silence is golden.

In the dusk, the lights in the main hall were as bright as day, and the maids walked in groups, holding flying cups and presenting gongs, and setting tables on both sides. Brass Pixiu, on the back wall is a sharp sword inlaid with precious stones. There are no candlesticks on the left and right, but two huge night pearls.

"His heart is clear." Ye Liuzhou walked in, looked at the decorations and sighed meaningfully.

The hall was full of heat, a group of rough people were sitting in it, they didn't pay much attention to it, they didn't like drinking from cups, so they exchanged bowls to toast each other, it was lively and full of noise.

The three of them sat down in the corner, and no one dared to get close to Jing Yuan holding Chuan Luanjian. Ye Liuzhou looked around from the mixed figures, but he couldn't find Xu Yan. Yun Jin, with two of his subordinates, chatted and laughed with General Zhao Ke.

"Someone is watching us." Jing Fuling picked a grape and threw it into her mouth.

"Who?" Ye Liuzhou asked.

"Look, across the way."

Ye Liuzhou raised his head, and sitting across from him was a group of similarly dressed people, probably the nameless sect that was killed by Jing Yuan this afternoon, blood staining three sects. .

Jing Yuan didn't even look at them, and completely ignored them, while Jing Fuling said: "Don't try to challenge senior brother if you are not as skilled as others. Look, senior brother should have killed him directly."

Ye Liuzhou said: "Wait, you guys won't fight here, will you?"

"Of course not, don't take these ants seriously." Jing Fuling held the bowl and sniffed the wine with enjoyment, "Let's drink!"

Ye Liuzhou took a sip and said, "It's fruit wine, do you want Jing Yuan to try it?"

"Senior brother never drank alcohol, never touched a drop. When we were in the villa, the old manor was very strict in charge. Drunken people can't practice swords well." Jing Fuling said.

Ye Liuzhou glanced at Jing Yuan, and thought that it was like this, last night was an unexpected accident.

When the wine was half drunk, the maids stepped forward again and added dishes to the table for everyone.

The sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root in the porcelain bowl were boiled sticky and mellow, exuding a sweet aroma. Jing Yuan took a few mouthfuls with a spoon, then suddenly lowered his arm, and pressed Ye Liuzhou's hand a few times on the table.

Ye Liuzhou was digging red bean wine rice balls, before he ate them, he was startled and fell to the ground, "What's wrong?"

Jing Yuan didn't speak at first, but glanced at the stupefied Jing Fuling, his lips were pale, and his voice came through his teeth: "Tell her not to eat."

He was trying to suppress the pain that was spreading through him.

Ye Liuzhou suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the newly served food, his pupils constricted slightly, and wanted to check his situation, but the other party said: "Don't reveal any flaws."

The Dingjian Mountain Manor is very popular, there are quite a few people present who are paying attention to them, and they are usually afraid of Jing Yuan's skills, but if he shows his weakness, it is hard to guarantee that these people will not attack him in groups.

As they approached, the sect at the opposite table was staring at them.

Ye Liuzhou motioned to Jing Fuling, she drank a lot and was a little dizzy, she smiled foolishly and said, "What are you calling me for?"

"Tell you one thing, don't react too much, your brother seems to be poisoned."

"That's it..." Jing Fuling took another sip while holding the jug, with a misty smile on her face, and then she reacted, "Pfft!" and spewed out the wine.

Ye Liuzhou took a deep breath helplessly, and then said loudly: "Miss Jing! You've drunk too much, I'll help you back to rest!"

All eyes gathered around, most of them were looking at the two of them, but the leader of that sect was closely watching Jing Yuan's every move.

Ye Liuzhou said: "Master Young Master, come, give me your hand."

Jing Yuan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, he stood up as usual, took Jing Fuling's arm and walked out.

The three of them walked out of the hall under the eyes of many prying eyes, and the disciple of the sect behind him lowered his voice and said, "Looking at Jing Yuan's appearance, isn't he poisoned?"

"Impossible." The leader said coldly and firmly, "He has already eaten the bowl of glutinous rice lotus root, but he is only temporarily suppressing the poison. When the poison occurs, he loses all his internal energy and can only wait to die."

"But Jing Fuling is not poisoned, and that woman is not easy to mess with. What should we do next?" the disciple asked.

"It's nothing to worry about a mere Jing Fuling, let's follow them first and see if they are real or not!" The leader led a group of disciples to leave.

The night outside was filled with darkness, Jing Yuan bent down before he had gone far, barely holding the sword to stand still, the hand that was tightly holding the Chuan Luan sword had bulging veins, the other hand covered his mouth, and blood foam flowed from between the fingers.

"You guys go first, cough, I'll kill them..."

"Who else do you want to kill?" Ye Liuzhou grabbed his sword, ignored the opponent's weak struggle, and carried him behind his back.

Jing Fuling heard the footsteps and said anxiously: "Take your senior brother away quickly, I'll stop them!"

"can you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" She pulled out her long whip, "These vile and shameless bastards are not enough for me to practice!"

Ye Liuzhou didn't waste any more time, and rushed into the night with Jing Yuan on his back, and found the direction of the pharmacy according to the map of Yuan Mansion that Xu Yan gave him.

In the middle of the night, the pharmacy was empty, he opened the door, threw Jing Yuan on the ground, and began to search the medicine cabinet, threw ginseng and ganoderma on the ground, found some herbs, mashed them into juice, and fed them to Jing Yuan.

The other party still had the strength to tilt his head, showing a refusal.

Ye Liuzhou said: "Although I'm not a doctor, I've drank more medicine than you ever drank in my life, don't worry."

After Jing Yuan finished drinking the medicine, he said again: "Actually, the detoxification medicines are almost the same. They should be able to detoxify, but of course they may not be able to do so."

How could it be about the same? !

Jing Yuan looked at him coldly, "..."

Ye Liuzhou and him looked at each other for a few breaths, shrugged and said, "Let's resign ourselves to fate."

With their backs against the medicine cabinet, the two sat on the cold wooden board, looking at the moonlight cast by the window pavilion.

I don't know how much time has passed, Jing Yuan felt an irresistible tiredness and exhaustion, and gradually closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while, suddenly Ye Liuzhou's voice sounded in the silent room: "Jing Yuan, don't sleep. "

He shook his eyelashes.

Ye Liuzhou rested his arms on his bent legs, looked out the window without moving, and said: "Jing Yuan, if you fall asleep, you will die. If the young master of Dingjian Villa dies in the hands of these rats, Your father's face will be completely humiliated by you."

The young man moved the corners of his lips, and his clear voice had turned into a weak hoarse voice, "...my father wouldn't think so."

He paused, and said, "Xie Linze, have you also been poisoned?"

The other party did not answer, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Jing Yuan felt that the pain flowing in his limbs was numb, his body was getting cold inch by inch, he was unable to make any sound anymore, and his consciousness was constantly sinking and floating on the edge of the abyss.

Dimly, he felt that the other party applied a hot towel to his forehead, and a strand of flowing long hair fell down and spread out on his cheeks. A hand stretched out to try his temperature, like the last lingering warmth .

Ye Liuzhou sat beside the young man, felt his pulse was still beating, relaxed a little, and yawned, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the door was kicked open by someone with a bang, a strong The smell of blood wafted in.
