But it was just a matter of lightning and flint, three crossbow arrows shot out from behind the fence in a row, as if they had almost predicted the other party's reaction, one after another, they stuck at the place where the two had just stopped .

Tanlang jumped on Yinqi and dodged the first two arrows. He felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and couldn't help but let out a low moan.The arrow was too fierce, and the distance was too short, it pierced him directly and penetrated into Yinqi's right chest for a few inches before barely stopping.Long Kedo's face was pale with fright, and the unexpected crowd was also in a panic. The people behind the fence were about to take the opportunity to escape, but two hidden guards rushed out from nowhere and pressed him to the ground. Lian Zhen quickly walked towards the two people on the ground, her face turned pale: "Master!"

"It's okay... Tanlang is seriously injured, let's take a look at him first."

The arrow was not too deep, Yin Qi responded in a low voice, and sat up half propped up.Although Tanlang was shot by an arrow, his consciousness was still awake. With Lian Zhen's strength, he got up and staggered to Yinqi's side: "Master, I'm fine, you—"

Yinqi raised his hand to support his shoulder, pressed it lightly comfortingly, shook his head slightly to signal him to go back, coughed twice, and then said in a low voice: "Put him in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, and put him under special guard... Longkodo, send everyone back first, it’s inconvenient today, I’ll go to the mansion to talk about it some other day.”

His voice was a little low, but his enunciation was still clearly discernible.Longkodo had already come to his senses at this moment, nodded with a pale face, forced himself to calm down and sent everyone present back, and carefully helped Yinqi to sit back on the saddle.Po Jun came to pick up Tanlang, cut off the arrow neatly for him and threw it aside, he was about to pull out the arrow, but his eyes suddenly froze on the arrow that was shining with cold light: "Lian Zhen, don't bandage it first—as soon as possible!" Wash the wound for the master, this arrow is poisoned!"

Lian Zhen's body trembled suddenly, and she looked up at the master who was leaning on Longkodo.Yinqi's mind was still clear, but he felt a faint numbness in the wound, and some heart palpitations and shortness of breath due to the sudden incident, but he didn't feel anything special. He settled down and shook his head slightly, took a few breaths before saying helplessly: " What do you all see me doing? It was the arrow that Tanlang hit first, since you know it is poisonous, why don’t you hurry up and show it to him, I just scratched the skin a bit..."

"Master, we have all been trained to resist poisons, and ordinary poisons can't do anything to us." Lian Zhen replied in a low voice, took the spirits she carried with her, gritted her teeth and pulled out the plug, "It will hurt, master first patience."

Even if he didn't need to remind Yin Qi to wash the wound with alcohol, he knew that it would obviously hurt.However, this is still outside after all, and he has to maintain his majesty as a prince, so he can only silently recite the story of Guan Erye's bone scraping and curing poison in his heart, and nodded calmly: "It's okay, just do it."

The wound on Yinqi's body was not deep, but when the strong wine was poured on it, he still couldn't help tensing his body. He only felt a sharp pain explode from the wound, and a white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and even his consciousness was blurred for a moment. .She vaguely felt that someone was supporting her body that was about to fall, and she didn't know what Lian Zhen applied again. The cool ointment instantly relieved the severe pain, and she finally recovered after panting for a while.Vaguely seeing the wound on the shoulder of the person who was supporting him hastily bandaged, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Nonsense...you hurt much more than me, so leave me alone, I'm fine... "

"Master, this injury is nothing to us, let's go back and talk about it first."

Tanlang replied in a gentle voice, without asking others to help, he still carefully helped him up.Yin Qi was worried that it would hurt his wound, so he tried his best to support his body and stood up, only to feel that his body was sore and weak, and his feet felt dangling and limp as if he had stepped on cotton.He didn't want to make these people worry any more, he tried his best to keep his mind still, and slowly moved into the carriage with support, Tanlang was also pushed in by Lian Zhen without any explanation.Longkoduo moved his hands around anxiously on the spot, Yinqi settled his mind, opened some window gaps and said in a low voice: "Go and talk to Master Shi, don't make a fuss about it, come to my house to find me if you have anything to do."

"Cha." Long Kedo replied with a mournful face, and ran after the carriage for two more steps, and said in a helpless voice, "Fifth Master, you will be fine..."

"I'm fine. Tell Master Shi to take care of me and save my life. I'll have to interrogate myself later."

Yin Qi smiled lightly and responded slowly.Longkodo nodded vigorously, stood in place and watched the carriage go away, his eyes suddenly showed some ruthlessness, he strode back and walked to the assassin who had been tied up by Wuhuada, and kicked him twice with all his strength. Foot: "Take it away, according to the master's order - as long as you can't die, beat it to death!"

The poison on the arrow couldn't be found out for a while, Yin Qi leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at Tan Lang carefully, seeing that he seemed to be fine except for his injury, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But he still couldn't help worrying and said: "I'm guessing, the poison on the arrow has passed through you and then you come to me, there will be nothing left - don't just stare at me, if you want to get poisoned, you will be the first to get into trouble... ..."

"Master, don't worry, the Seven Star Guards were raised with poisons when they were young, and they have already developed tolerance for ordinary poisons. Unless it is the kind of poison that kills at sight, the others probably can't do anything to us, so as long as the poison is not released on the spot If you die, basically nothing will happen in the future - but the master's body is no better than ordinary people, even a little bit of poison is hard to bear, so don't be careless."

Before Tan Lang could speak, Lian Zhen replied for him.Having finished what Tan Lang wanted to say, he could only smile helplessly, nodded and said slowly: "Lian Zhen is right...Master, do you feel any strange discomfort now?"

"There is some discomfort, but I don't know which one is considered abnormal..."

Yin Qi replied helplessly, he had hardly been comfortable these days, his body was riddled with holes, even if he was really poisoned, he might not be able to detect it immediately.It's just that according to the experience of taking one step at a time last time, this time he at least walked a long way by himself, and his mind is still clear now, and it probably isn't a serious poison after thinking about it: "Let's not talk about this for now. ——Just now I felt something suspicious, please remember it for me, and tell Master Shi later, and ask him to send people to these villages to investigate carefully. "

"Yes."

There seemed to be some unspeakable ominousness in his words, Tanlang's breathing couldn't help but stagnate slightly, some worry and panic flashed in his eyes, but he still responded very lightly.Yinqi closed his eyes and gathered his mind again, carefully thinking about what he had just heard and what he had heard and thought in the past few days, coughed for a while, and then said softly: "I said it before, this time the plague is not like that. The natural disaster seems to be manipulated by someone behind the scenes. This time, the incident in the west of the city may be caused by someone deliberately bewitching the villagers and disturbing people's hearts... Ask Mr. Shi to record all the rumors. As long as you search carefully, you will be able to find the real person who spread the rumors. The purpose. And this purpose, even if it is not the mastermind behind the spread of the plague, must be closely related to it..."

The plague is not terrible, what is terrible is the person who tries to manipulate everything behind it-any biological war is horrific, this is a demon that will devour everything once it is released.Anyone who wants to rely on manpower to dominate the epidemic is a lunatic, because all these things cannot be completely controlled by manpower, and if they are not careful, they will only end in a complete overturning, and many innocent lives will be ruined in vain.

"Today's assassination was definitely not accidental...I'm afraid that the scene yesterday was just the bait to lure me out. The adults in the South Study Room returned to Beijing overnight, and outsiders didn't know it. If you attack me, I'm afraid It is to make no one in the capital take charge - this method is not like a power struggle between the courts, but rather an attempt to usurp the throne...Whether Tiandi will do such a thing, ask them to investigate, but there is still Is there any other organized gang..."

After holding on to finish talking about the things he was worried about, Yin Qi only felt that his chest was becoming more and more congested, and his heart palpitations made him want to faint.The numbness on his body gradually turned into an unbearable tingling pain, and the things in front of him became more and more blurred. His throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Only the faint sound of air flow remained, and he wanted to try to struggle for a while, but his deep exhaustion had involuntarily pulled his consciousness into darkness.

Tanlang guarded for a while, saw that he didn't speak anymore, just thought he was tired.He whispered a few words but there was no response, he felt a little flustered in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand to support his body leaning against the wall of the compartment, feeling that his hands were clammy and cold. He fell silently to the side, "Master—Master!"

Greedy Wolf only felt a dull pain in his chest, he knelt down on the ground and hugged his body helplessly, tried his breath while trembling lightly, the air current blowing over his fingertips was so weak that it was like a candle in the wind. scattered.Tightly hugging the cold and limp person in his arms, Tanlang felt as if he was shaking violently, and the wound on his left shoulder was drenched with blood again, but he didn't care about it, he just tried his best to hold it The car window, forcing myself to try my best to complete the sentence: "Lian Zhen, something is wrong with the master - come here and take a look..."

Lian Zhen heard that his movements were not right, so she hurriedly fitted herself into the carriage and frowned at the thick smell of blood inside.His eyes paused on the blood stain on Tanlang's left shoulder, but he didn't say anything after all, he just picked up the man who had completely fallen into a coma, focused on his veins for a moment, and then looked carefully at Yinqi His face was almost pale, so he decisively took out a small cloth bag from his arms, took out a few small log-like things from inside, put them in his mouth, opened the window and drank outside: "Lu Cun, Wu Qu, the two of you rush back to the mansion first, four qian for licorice, two qian each for Smilax cocos and mung bean, boil it into water and let it cool, you can drink it immediately if you want the master to go back!"

There were two succinct voices from outside, Lian Zhen supported Yin Qi's body and sat against the wall of the car, then threw the cloth bag into Tan Lang's arms: "It's too bad to swallow it, chew it up Feed it to the master, and move quickly."

He spoke concisely and clearly, but Tanlang still took a moment to understand what he meant.The face that was slightly pale due to blood loss couldn't help showing a tinge of blood, but after all, the situation was urgent and there was no room for further entanglement, so he nodded and took the bag over.Lian Zhen didn't say any more, turned around and got out of the carriage again, replaced the driver outside, and slammed the whip: "Hold the master steady, I won't accompany you if it breaks!"

This place is not too far from the palace, and Lian Zhen was in a hurry, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace in less than a quarter of an hour.Someone had already been guarding the door, and quickly carried Yinqi back to the bedroom and put him on the couch. Tanlang stayed by Yinqi's side all the time, and Ren Lianzhen was dumbfounded as he re-bandaged the wound that had already opened, but his eyes remained fixed. Focusing on the face of the person who seemed to be sleeping peacefully: "Lian Zhen... How is the master now?"

"Feed this to him and tell him to sleep well and it will be fine."

Lian Zhen stuffed the bowl of mung bean soup into his hand, met the other's astonished and questioning eyes calmly, and nodded calmly.Tan Lang was still a little uneasy, but he still followed what he said, and carefully fed the bowl of mung bean soup to Yin Qi, fearing that the effect of the medicine would be too slow, he used his internal energy to slowly push the man's blood.Seeing that the pale face gradually regained its blood color, and the breathing finally became smooth and long, my heart finally relaxed, and I carefully supported Yin Qi to lie down, and then I straightened up. There was a burst of blackness in front of my eyes, and my body swayed twice. Lian Zhen hugged me and said, "You should also rest with the master—the blood flowed so much that the carriage was almost drowned, if it wasn't for the fear that you would hit me, I would have beaten you a long time ago." I fainted and threw it to the side to recuperate."

Tanlang was half-forced on the couch by him, only then did he feel dry mouthed and dizzy, but he was still faintly uneasy, and leaned over to look at the other couch.He is the head of the Seven Star Guards, no one can control him except Yinqi, and Lian Zhen can't really wake up his master and order him to rest, so he just took out the veil that was drunk by the spring breeze and put it on his mouth and nose The last time I pressed it, it was so simple and rude that it stunned people.He threw the quilt in a random mess twice again, told him not to go in and disturb him, and then clapped his hands and strode out the door.

What kind of assassin——he actually thought of painting Chuanwu on the arrowhead, so he was very interested in taking Po Jun to interrogate him, and fed the outlaw a few times with Chuanwu.At worst, if he is about to die and then rescued, let that guy also have a good taste of what it's like to die by suffocation.

-

When Yinqi woke up again, it was pitch black.

Rarely, there was no one to wait in the house, not even a single lamp was lit.Yinqi could see clearly without turning on the lamp. He sat up with his body propped up, and saw Tanlang lying quietly on the opposite couch at a glance.His heart sank slightly, he put on his clothes and walked quickly over with his shoes on, supported his uninjured shoulder and shook it lightly, frowned and called out in a low voice: "Greedy wolf, greedy wolf?"

Tanlang was just stunned by Lianzhen's incense, coupled with the loss of blood and weakness, so he fell asleep a bit, but woke up after being shaken.It's just that when he opened his eyes, he saw a piece of darkness, and he could faintly see a figure beside him, but his hair was disheveled and he looked like a stranger, so scared that he jumped up like a carp.Subconsciously, he wanted to hide back, but was stretched by the injury on his shoulder. He covered the injury on his shoulder in embarrassment, and couldn't help but gasped.

"What's the matter—was it haunted?"

Yinqi frowned and looked at him with concern, asked in a warm voice, then squeezed his wrist with some strength, smiled and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, my life is at stake—look It's about people not ghosts, look, I can still touch you..."

"Master..." Hearing the familiar voice, Tanlang finally calmed down, but he still couldn't help being stimulated by this weird scene and made the back of his head go numb, swallowing his saliva before saying with difficulty: "You—next time, Could you light the lights first..."

"..." Only then did Yinqi remember that he seemed to have forgotten something, he helped his forehead and laughed helplessly, got up to light the oil lamp, turned back to the side of the couch with his hands, and gently held down the struggling Tanlang who was about to get up: "Always ask you to serve me, but this time you are the patient, so ask me to serve you once."

"Master—are you really alright?"

Tanlang held Yinqi's arm nervously, and looked at his face carefully.Yin Qi himself didn't know what happened, so he raised his eyebrows in confusion, but still held up the lamp patiently with a smile to let him see clearly: "It's all right, but your complexion is worse than mine—— No matter what, the crossbow arrow was pierced directly, and I just lay down for two days in peace, don't make such a big move..."

Lian Zhen's bowl of hot and sour Bazhen soup has not yet expired, and he can still dance like this for a whole day, but today he slept soundly again, and made up for the sleep he lacked in the past few days. There was a faint pain in the wound, but there was really no other discomfort.Tanlang saw that his complexion was really good, and finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Hearing his last sentence, he could only helplessly smile and nod: "Yes——as long as the master is no longer so shady and frightening, I will You must not toss..."

"I thought you were not afraid of anything, but you are so afraid of ghosts, and I will have to deal with you in the future."

Yin Qi put the lamp in his hand aside, sat down on the edge of the couch with a chuckle, and was about to ask in detail what happened after he passed out, when the door was suddenly pushed open gently.Lian Zhen poked her head and looked inside, and seeing that both of them were awake, she walked in quickly and calmly: "Master, that person has been recruited, saying that he is the subordinate of the 'Third Prince Zhu', In order to restore Daming, the plague this time was caused by the third prince Zhu—I don’t know why he wanted to make his own people suffer for the restoration of Daming, maybe because he was afraid that after the restoration There are too many people to support..."

"It's just a rebellion with hidden ambitions under the banner of restoring the country." Yin Qi smiled lightly, and his eyes were faintly chilled with disdain, "Emperor Chongzhen's whole country was destroyed, and he left a last word before he died." Let the thieves split, no harm to the people', if it is really the former prince, how can he trample on the lives of the people like pigs and dogs? Harsh the lives of the people and use the lives of innocent civilians as the authority, no matter what his status is, I will not Will keep him alive."

Yinqi's current emotions couldn't help but be too intense, and the killing intent in his words was just withdrawn as soon as it appeared, so he calmed down again, and couldn't help but wondered: "I thought that the one who could come to assassinate must be a tough person, I still plan to kill you." Let's have a good trial of him... how did you ask him?"

"It's really a hard bone. I don't beg for mercy until I feed Chuan Wu for the third time, and I don't say what I need to say until I feed it five times in a row."

Lian Zhen nodded earnestly. Looking at the confused expressions of the two, she realized that she hadn't mentioned the matter of Chuanwu to them, so she added a sentence unhurriedly: "He was on the arrow." The poison used is Chuanwu. The poisoned person has numb limbs, palpitations and suffocation. If not treated in time, he will be suffocated to death by himself-but detoxification is also easy. The most common way is to chew licorice, or fry three flavor soup... ..."

"So—the bag of wood chips you gave me was all licorice?" Tanlang's eyes widened in astonishment, and he finally understood why his mouth was full of weird taste after chewing it, and it still lingers for a long time, " But... why do you bring so much licorice with you?"

"..." Lian Zhen looked at him silently, and after a long while said solemnly: "Eat it, or is it still used for detoxification?"
