The clicking sound echoed on the cliff, and it came from the tree trunk that was used as a fulcrum by the rope. It has long since dried up and decayed after being exposed to wind and sun.
At the moment,? It is breaking down a little bit.
The tree trunk tilted, and Xiao Han suddenly fell down. Li Zhi tightened the rope, quickly pulled out the short sword with one hand, and inserted it into the ground deeply, only then was he able to stabilize the falling trend. At that time, their hearts were beating like thunder.
The sand and rocks on the edge of the cliff rolled down the bottomless cliff, and there was a frightening rustling sound.
Li Zhi's hands were already wounded. At this moment, a pair of beautiful hands were already covered with blood stains. Against the pale green skin, it was shocking under the moonlight.
Xiao Han said seriously: "Zhizhi,? Listen to me..."
"Shut up!" Li Zhi gritted his teeth and stared at him and said, "From the moment I saved you, your life is mine, without my permission, you don't want to die!"
Xiao Han was dumbfounded for a while, and stared blankly at him.It was as if he was meeting Li Zhi for the first time. He was a little strange, but also a little touched.
Li Zhi was looked at with embarrassment, and said stubbornly: "You can only die in my hands. Even if Lord Yan came, he would never want to take your life from me."
Xiao Han opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he pursed his lips tightly? Then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a pure and sincere smile without any impurities, "I see, thank you."
Clap clap, applause came from behind.
Yuan Hui leaned the long knife on the ground, and the blade was facing Li Zhi's profile.
"What a heart-wrenching bittersweet drama. You are a person from the Pingyang Palace and a member of the Devil's Cult. After getting along for a short time, do you have such a deep relationship?" Yuan Hui looked at Li Zhi and asked: "Okay, I don't want to waste any more time , now you have to make a choice? Beg me to save him, or agree to my conditions?"
Xiao Han sneered, "Is there a difference?"
Yuan Hui nodded happily, "Indeed not, but you have no chance to choose now."
Li Zhi wrapped the hemp rope around his right shoulder and right armpit twice, and tied a knot firmly on his chest. This was to secretly want Yuan Hui to express that he would not give up on Xiao Han.Then, as if he was too tired, he let go of the hand holding the sword, and slowly turned himself over, lying on the sandy ground, gasping for breath, his chest unceasingly rising and falling.
Yuan Hui looked down at him and said, "You should know that when a person dies, everything is gone. In fact, your current stubbornness is completely unnecessary. I will teach you another sentence today-a man who knows the current affairs is a hero."
Li Zhi laughed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and a few strands of soft black hair were wet and stuck to his cheeks. He was extremely black, and his complexion was extremely white, like a scroll of landscape painting, only his eyes were bright. Stunning, especially in such a cold moonlight.
Looking at this ordinary face, Yuan Hui sincerely felt that he should not be ordinary.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuan Hui asked.
Li Zhi seemed to be getting hot, so he raised his bloody left hand and tugged on his collar. The collar that used to be neat was pulled loose, and a pendant slipped out. The black rope was long and finger-length. The black cylinder, the moonlight reflected on the lacquered surface, should be made of jade, carved into a bamboo-shaped jade pendant.
Yuan Hui just glanced at it and praised: "It's a good thing, the carving and materials are first-class."
Hearing this, Li Zhi held the jade bamboo in his palm, as if he was afraid that Yuan Hui would snatch it, but soon, he let go, picked it up, and held it above his cheek, "It seems that your boss is definitely not an ordinary person. .”
Yuan Hui raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you are willing to come with me, maybe we can work together in the future. My boss is not short of money. Whatever you want, as long as you do things well, he will never be stingy with rewards."
Perhaps it was because Li Zhi gave up his dagger, Yuan Hui thought he was harmless, and told him about his employer, intending to recruit Li Zhi into his gang.
Li Zhi let out a low laugh from his throat, rubbing the two ends of the jade bamboo tube with his fingertips, then pressed close to the corner of his mouth, and whispered softly: "It's a pity, I'm not interested, I'm going to be someone else's dog..."
Yuan Hui's complexion changed in vain, and the kindness that he showed just now disappeared in an instant, but when he raised the knife to do something, he saw Li Zhi put the black jade bamboo tube into his mouth, pointing the end at him, He was just feeling weird, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, three slender steel needles had already been shot at him quickly!
The moment the moonlight illuminated the steel needles, the three steel needles had quickly arrived in front of Yuan Hui, reflecting the dark and cold light. He was shocked, but it was too late, and he covered his mouth the next moment. right face.
Black and red blood flowed from Yuan Hui's fingers, and three steel needles pierced into his right eye. He let out a painful and angry growl, and his veined right hand held the knife tightly, and slashed towards Li Zhi. .
Li Zhi rolled to one side to avoid it, and half-kneeled up.
Xiao Han looked at this scene in astonishment.
And at this moment, a crisp clicking sound came from Xiao Han's head again.
Hearing the sound, Li Zhi hurriedly saw that the trunk was completely broken, the rope lost its fulcrum, and quickly slid down the cliff in the direction of Xiao Han. At the same time, a rapid momentum came from the rope tied to Li Zhi's body. , yanked him down the cliff!
In a panic, Li Zhi found the only thing that could cover him on the edge of the cliff——
The dead tree on the edge of the cliff.
Taking advantage of the tendency of being dragged, he endured the pain of being constantly rubbed by sand and stones and rolled over there.His calculations were correct, and before he was about to be dragged off the cliff, he tightly hugged the trunk of the dead tree!
But because of the tendency of the other end to fall rapidly, even though he was prepared, when his chest and abdomen slammed into the tree trunk, his whole brain was empty for a moment, and the severe pain suddenly hit.
Xiao Han at the bottom of the cliff was not having a good time either. The moment he fell, the mountain wind whistled past his ears, so fast that he couldn't think of anything. The hurricane slapped hard on the rocky mountain wall, the entire right shoulder was hit numb, and the bound wrists were bloodstained.
Xiao Han gasped in pain and looked up hastily. He couldn't see where Li Zhi was, but with a few rays of moonlight, he saw the rope hanging down from the dead tree, and guessed that Li Zhi was there.
"Zhizhi, how are you?" Xiao Han shouted.
Hearing that his voice was quite energetic, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could find a chance to pull Xiao Han up, a black shadow approached behind him, and looking back, it was Yuan Hui who was full of anger.
Three steel needles glowing black and cold were stuck in his bloody right eye, and the black blood spread across his right cheek. At this moment, his face was pale and black, and his gritted teeth showed deep anger.
"I kindly gave you a chance, but you crippled one of my eyes..." Yuan Hui's voice trembled a little, perhaps because of pain, perhaps because of anger, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
After all, Yuan Huigao raised the knife in his hand, but at the moment he was about to swing the knife, several cold arrows came through the wind in the mountain forest, one hit his right hand and the other hit his back.Yuan Hui froze for a breath, and fell to the ground with the knife in his hand.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked into the dark mountain forest, where it seemed to be boiling suddenly, and many men in black clothes who were hidden inside showed their figures, their weapons collided, and they fought for a while.
Li Zhi didn't have time to think about it, he sat up with the help of the dead tree, and pulled the rope up inch by inch. Xiao Han saw that it was Li Zhi's half-protruded figure, and he also kicked his legs on the mountain wall in cooperation, going up The speed is a little faster.After pulling Xiao Han up, Li Zhi's back was soaked with sweat, and he was so tired that he knelt on the ground, his face was pale, his heart was beating very fast, his eyes were slightly closed and he was panting.
Xiao Han supported the dead tree, and then fell down beside Li Zhi. He was in danger a few times, but his strength gradually recovered. As soon as he came up, he quickly untied the rope on his wrist, finally revealing a pair of bruises and bloodstains. He didn't look at it much, but when he saw Li Zhi, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laugh.
Li Zhi was a little absent-minded, his dark eyes gathered light, and when he raised his eyes, Xiao Han suddenly hugged him.Xiao Han pressed Li Zhi's head on his shoulder, and wrapped Li Zhi in his warm embrace. He even felt that the other person's heartbeat was almost as embarrassing as his own, and Xiao Han's breath hit his eartips accordingly.
"Li Zhi, I knew that you are a good person."
Li Zhi's ears trembled slightly, and his eyes blinked quickly, but he couldn't react.
The fight in the forest came to fruition, a tall and thin man came out first, the knife in his hand was still dripping with warm blood.He strode over, and the blood-spattered face was Yan Qi.
"Your Majesty!" When Yan Qi walked to the edge of the cliff, he looked at the two blood-stained people who were embracing each other tightly under the tree, and he was a little worried and hesitant. In the end, he still stepped forward and half-kneeled to salute, and reported: " Those people are dead men, with poison in their mouths, and after we took them down, they all bit the poison sacks and committed suicide.”
Only then did Li Zhi regain his senses, and pushed Xiao Han away.
Xiao Han didn't care about it, he glanced at Yuan Hui sideways and said, "How is he?"
Yan Qi went forward to check for a while, and when he came back, his face was a bit ugly, "Dead. The arrow only hit the arm and the back shoulder. His lips were purple and his blood was black. It should be the sudden onset of the poison on the needle."
Xiao Han was startled, and looked at Yuan Hui.
He fell on his side not far away, his whole face was covered with gray and gray, the three steel needles in his right eye hadn't been pulled out|out yet, and the black blood flowed over half of his face and hadn't stopped yet.
He had just witnessed the three poisonous needles shooting Yuan Hui with his own eyes, so he knew it was Li Zhi's doing.
Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi again, opening his mouth not knowing what to say.
Li Zhi saw their intentions, "Want to keep alive?"
Xiao Han nodded, then shook his head quickly, with a smile in his voice, "It's not necessary now."
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the bottom of the cliff, and several people in black clothes jumped up from below, untying the ropes around their waists. Judging by the color of their clothes, they were obviously in the same group as Yan Qing.
Li Zhi looked at these people, a trace of astonishment flashed in his slightly widened eyes, his pale complexion gradually cooled down, and he turned to Xiao Han silently.
Yan Qi was very sensible, and immediately said: "Young master, don't worry, we have already made preparations before Yuan Hui took people up the mountain. Tonight, he captured the son and hung him on the cliff. We also rushed before you came. Precautionary measures have been taken under the cliff, but because we are in a hurry, we only found a large net temporarily, and it is very dangerous, and we dare not let the prince jump off rashly." All in all, he said gratefully: "This time, I would like to thank you, young master. Be generous and save our son."
Li Zhi still looked at Xiao Han fixedly, his eyes were a little cold, "You knew earlier?"
Seeing that his face changed so quickly, Xiao Han secretly gave Yan Qi a warning with displeased eyes, then turned around and put on a flattering smile, "They did sign me down there..."
Li Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he stood up without waiting for him to explain.
Xiao Han was at a loss, "Zhizhi..."
Li Zhi didn't stay for a moment, he turned around and left, but because his knees and chest were injured, his walking posture was a bit awkward, he limped with his body bowed, and his already ugly face was obviously a little angry, With a stab, he tore off the frayed hem of the clothes hanging down at his feet, and threw it aside viciously, even though Xiao Han called him from behind, he quickly left the cliff without looking back.
He was wrong, Xiao Han is not a pig, he is.
Why did he forget that Xiao Han is not an ordinary person, he is the eldest son of Pingyang Palace, and there are countless guards and secret guards around him, even if he needs to do something in person, the guards of the palace cannot really let him take risks alone.Xiao Han had already planned this.
And he is nosy.
Li Zhi remembered what he had said when he was saving him just now, in order to save him he let himself fall into a passive position, and now he was injured all over his body, he felt extremely ridiculous, what he did, Xiao Han didn't need it at all.
Li Zhi didn't like this very much.
When returning to Qianshan Guest House, I ran into Meng Jianyu on the road.He lit the lamps on the long corridor, one after another, and waited for someone along the way. Seeing Li Zhi's return, he showed a bit of joy on his face, and quickly put it away.
"You are hurt?"
Hearing the sound, Li Zhi turned his head and saw him diagonally opposite.
Meng Jianyu came over with a lantern, "Where did you go? Did you find someone?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi turned pale again, lowered his head and walked forward with a cold face, staggered a bit, slightly unsteady.
Meng Jianyu could see clearly, and asked behind him: "Do you want to call the doctor?"
Li Zhi didn't answer, he returned to the guest room as if he was running away, opened the door silently, closed the door, and bolted the door, and then he relaxed, leaned on the door panel, clutched his belly, limped to the table and sat down.
When he took out the torch to light the lamp, his blood-stained hands were trembling, and the faint flame jumped onto the candle, quickly lighting up the room.
Li Zhi found the gauze and golden sore medicine, rolled up his sleeves, cleaned the wound, applied the medicine, and then skillfully bandaged himself, all in one go.
He didn't even take a second look at the blood-red wound, sprinkled the powder on it, and quickly wrapped it with gauze, as if the sting of the wound with the powder could not catch up with him.Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The most serious scratches were on the elbows and knees. It was inconvenient for Li Zhi to bandage himself. He bit the cloth and looked up at the door.
The people outside just spoke——
"It's me, Xiao Han."
Li Zhi was not surprised that it was Xiao Han.Although Xiao Han still had toxins in his body, his internal energy was suppressed, and he was injured, but with Yan Qi around, he didn't need to make any effort to go down the mountain, just open his mouth.
Li Zhi paused, cut off the gauze with scissors, tied a knot on his elbow, saw the scratches and sword wounds that were still bleeding on the palm of his hand, poured the powder on his hand, and wrapped the gauze casually.
"Li Zhi, you open the door first." Xiao Han said.
Even the address is different, it sounds very serious.But Li Zhi ignored it, bandaged his hands, bent down, and pulled up the trousers little by little. When he pulled it up to his knees, because the blood-dried wound on his knees and his trousers were stuck together, even Li Zhi gasped in pain. He cruelly tore open the trousers with blood scabs, the wound opened again, and blood flowed out.
The knee is an extremely fragile place. Once this place is injured, it is not easy to heal, and because there is no flesh, it seems that the white bones are about to be exposed at this moment. Li Zhi clenched his teeth and did not make any sound. The surrounding blood stains were wiped away, and then Xiao Han's voice sounded outside the door.
"What's wrong with you?" There was no response from the room, Xiao Han gradually felt uneasy, and frowned, "I'll call Chen Qingyuan."
"No need." Li Zhi gritted his teeth.
He is taking medicine, his face is pale from the pain, he is very embarrassed and ugly now.
He doesn't want to be seen.
Xiao Han stopped in his tracks and looked back at the window paper.
All I saw was a vague silhouette, a small ball huddled inside.
Xiao Han's face turned serious, "I did plan to come to Mount Jiuhua. I wanted to lure Yuan Hui and the others out. I didn't tell you beforehand. It was my fault. You open the door first, and we can talk about it in detail."
Li Zhi's attitude was cold and firm, "No need."
Seeing no one, Xiao Han became more and more uneasy, "Okay, if you open the door now, I will tell you everything, and I will never hide a single word if you ask anything, or I will write my name upside down!"
Li Zhi's movement of wrapping up the gauze paused, his brows were tightly frowned, and he ignored it.
Xiao Han said again: "Really, I didn't expect you to save me so desperately. As I said just now, I believe in you, and I will trust you completely in the future, so you don't have to worry that I will lie to you again."
Li Zhi pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "You go, I don't want to see you now."
Xiao Han suddenly fell silent.
He felt guilty, if Li Zhi had been informed in advance, Li Zhi would not have been injured, but he still couldn't understand why Li Zhi was so angry.
At this time, Chen Qingyuan was brought over by Meng Jianyu, and when he saw Xiao Han, he exclaimed, "Master Xiao Shao, why is there blood on your shoulders?"
Li Zhi then said in a cold voice: "You all go away, don't disturb my cleanliness here!"
Meng Jianyu frowned, then looked at Xiao Han, as if he concluded that Li Zhi's displeasure had something to do with him.
Xiao Han heard the decisiveness in Li Zhi's words, and thought that he was fine when he came back, and besides, such a powerful person should be fine, but Meng Jianyu suddenly appeared... Xiao Han grabbed Meng Jianyu's body with all his strength. Hand, pretending to be weak, said: "Zhizhi is angry, it seems that I am destined not to go back to my room tonight, Senior Meng, your place is spacious, how about taking me in for a night?"
Meng Jianyu thought for a while, showing an interesting expression, "It's a great honor."
After the three left, the house returned to silence.
After Li Zhi healed his wounds, dense pain spread all over his body, making him breathless.Li Zhi was so tired that he lay down on the table, covering his belly with one hand, not wanting to move his fingers any more, leaning on his elbow with a slight side of his cheek, looking at the faint candle on the table.Everything was quiet, and little smiles slowly appeared in his dark eyes.
This night seemed very long, perhaps because too many things happened, but also seemed very short, the sky turned white all of a sudden, the sun rose quietly in the east, and a new day began.
After a night's rest, Li Zhi's pale complexion improved a bit, at least he could pretend as if he was not injured at all when he was walking outside. He was stopped by Meng Jianyu not long after he went out.
There were two bruises in Meng Jianyu's eyes, probably because he didn't sleep well, or he was looking like he was asking for a crime.
Li Zhi asked him, "What are you doing?"
This is a garden with a wide view. Because too many people were poisoned yesterday, they couldn't recover for a while after taking the antidote, so they postponed their plan to leave Jiuhua Mountain, and now there are few people out for a stroll.
Meng Jianyu said: "Your Xiao Shaozhuang owner is really powerful. He screamed for pain all night, and I couldn't sleep well all night. No wonder you want to drive him out."
Li Zhi looked behind him, but there was no one there.
"Looking for someone? I'm sorry, when I was upset, I knocked him out and threw him down the mountain." Meng Jianyu said with a half-truth, and quickly straightened his face. He reached out to Li Zhi, "Let's get back to business, hand it over."
Li Zhi asked: "What?"
Meng Jianyu suppressed his voice and said: "Sword! Someone took advantage of the chaos and stole the Nine Jin Sword last night!"
Li Zhi corrected, "It's not stealing, it's taking back."
Meng Jianyu nodded, "Okay, it belongs to your family, but don't forget, little leader, it was the weapon that killed Meng Yang. Since it has fallen into the hands of Mount Jiuhua, there is no reason to return it."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "So we took it back."
Meng Jianyu finally understood what he meant, "Aren't you going to return it?"
Li Zhi said: "You are the ones who should return it. Now the truth is revealed. If you don't arrest the person who should be arrested, why are you guarding a stolen sword?"
"Do you think we don't want to arrest? Who is Xue Ling? The niece of the head of the Xianxia faction, who is now backed by the Zhennan Palace, is about to marry the adopted son of the Zhennan King, Major General, and is protected by people from the Xuanyue Palace. If we want to leave, how can we stop it?" Meng Jianyu said: "Since the sword is the weapon used to kill Meng Yang, it should stay in Jiuhua Mountain."
Li Zhi looked at him and said: "You are so arrogant, you are more like a devil than me."
Meng Jianyu sneered, "It seems that you really don't plan to pay it back."
Li Zhi also smiled sarcastically, "It seems that someone is going to cross the river and tear down the bridge."
As soon as this statement came out, the already extremely fragile cooperation between the two was instantly shattered.When the two looked at each other, there was a breath of tit-for-tat.
Meng Jianyu touched the saber hanging on his waist, and a smile slowly leaked out of his eyes.
"Very good, I have long wanted to learn how powerful the No. [-] sword under heaven defeated Lu Xuanying."
Li Zhi's five fingers under his sleeves were slowly clenched, and the gauze under his palm was slightly red.
At this moment, Xiao Han's voice suddenly came out - "So Zhizhi is here!"
The moment the voice came, Meng Jianyu's shoulders were embraced from behind.
"Senior Meng got up really early."
Meng Jianyu's face darkened, and he slapped Xiao Han's hand away.
Xiao Han didn't feel embarrassed, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "It's just right, Hua Qichi said that he was too busy to stay on the mountain, and asked everyone to go down the mountain to play together, Zhizhi, let's go too, senior Meng, do you want to come together?"
Looking in the direction Xiao Han pointed, Hua Qichi and Baili Xun were not far away.
Meng Jianyu refused without hesitation, "No!"
Xiao Han could only sigh, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Zhi's hand. Li Zhi dodged for a while, but Xiao Han still caught him. Xiao Han showed joy, but his smile froze when he touched the thick gauze.
"Then let's go first." Xiao Han quickly recovered his smile and waved to Meng Jianyu.
Meng Jianyu still looked at Li Zhi unwillingly, and pointedly told him: "You all still have injuries on your body, go early and come back early, remember to come back and change your medicine."
Xiao Han nodded with a smile.
Li Zhi and Meng Jianyu looked at each other deeply, and the moment Xiao Han turned around to leave, Xiao Han's low voice suddenly rang in his ears, "His hand is bleeding, and it will be bandaged again in a while."
Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and his face quickly turned cold.
"Need not."
Xiao Han showed helplessness, then turned his face to Hua Qichi's side, and put on a smiling face again.
Several people also made an appointment with Chen Qingyuan and Pei Yin, all the way down the mountain, Xiao Han didn't let go of Li Zhi's hand when chatting with others, as if seeing that he was inconvenient to move, he stretched out his hand to support Li Zhi's back from time to time, let Li Zhi It was a lot easier, and he didn't push Xiao Han away.
There is a small town at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain. It is not rich, but quiet and livable.
Not long after going down the mountain, everyone went their separate ways. Chen Qingyuan followed behind Li Zhi anxiously, and Baili Xun also followed Li Zhi. After yesterday, his admiration for Li Zhi was beyond words.
The four of them didn't go shopping much, and went into the teahouse to listen to books.
Several people sat down at the small table by the window, Chen Qingyuan insisted on sitting next to Li Zhi, Baili found that he and Xiao Han couldn't react quickly, and finally had to sit opposite, he was very dissatisfied, but the artillery fire focused on Xiao Han.Naturally, Xiao Han would not admit defeat, he came and went, bickered so happily, he even had to fight with Baili to pour tea for Li Zhi.
Only then did Chen Qingyuan find an opportunity to ask Li Zhi, his voice was very low and he was very worried, "Three days have passed, when will you give me the antidote?"
Li Zhi squinted at him for a while, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Chen Qingyuan showed joy, opened the cork and saw that it was a small black and red pill, "The antidote?"
Li Zhi said without blinking his eyes: "Take this medicine, and the poison will be completely cured."
When Chen Qingyuan heard it, he held the porcelain bottle in his arms like a baby, "Thank you!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, it was just a wolfberry rehmannia pill.Seeing that Chen Qingyuan was so happy, Li Zhi stopped telling him the truth.
Chen Qingyuan cautiously put the medicine into his bosom, glanced out of the window, pointed to a tavern diagonally opposite, and said, "Hey, Brother Hua and my brother are over there."
Hearing the words, Xiao Han leaned over to look, and it really was Hua Qichi and Pei Yin, he asked curiously, "Would you use wine to drown your sorrows?"
Bai Lixun thoughtfully said: "Brother Pei really has a deep love for Miss Xue."
Xiao Han sneered: "So what, Miss Xue was pushed away by himself."
The few people stopped the topic at this point, and didn't continue talking, because Xue Ling had already declared his betrayal of the Xianxia Sect last night, and had already gone to the southwest.Although Meng Yang did, she was indeed one of the murderers. Even if she couldn't settle the score with Xue Ling, Xue Ling had already become a taboo in the Wulin League and among the six sects.
But there was one person, who took Xiao Han's words, "If someone robs your sweetheart, he would just drink away his sorrows. What is this kind of man if he is not a wimp?"
The slightly bad Central Plains dialect, when everyone turned around, it was Ah Cai.
Li Zhi also opened his eyes slightly.
Xiao Han was surprised: "Didn't you leave?"
A Cai appeared in this simple teahouse by herself, the peacock feathers on her hair were as gorgeous as ever, and her arrogance was still the same as before, she pushed Chen Qingyuan away and sat down as soon as she came.Chen Qingyuan was speechless for a while, and finally had to sit by Bailixun's side.
Xiao Han asked vigilantly, "What are you doing here?"
A Cai poured tea unceremoniously, and said sarcastically: "I didn't leave at first, but I just happened to pass by, and I felt unhappy after hearing what you said, so I just came here to sit. Why, you are not welcome?"
Xiao Han leaned towards Li Zhi, not forgetting to complain: "You are more like a devil."
A Cai sneered and said, "In the southwest, Xuanyue Palace is the Demon Cult, and I am a demon girl."
Xiao Han had nothing to say.
Then Baili Xun was replaced, "May I ask the second palace master to come here this time, but is there something wrong?"
A Cai held the teacup and didn't drink it, but slowly blew the warm mist on it, and said casually: "It's fine. It's just that I heard some false rumors, which made me very unhappy."
Chen Qingyuan said cautiously: "What rumors?"
"For example, Xue Ling climbed a high branch and married to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Since then, he has gained wealth and wealth, no worries about food and clothing, and envied others?" A Cai shook her head, "I saw many people from the Wulin League along the way, I have heard this kind of words no less than ten times, should I say that you martial arts people are stupid or superficial?"
They are not the only ones who went down the mountain for a stroll today.Baili Xun was still confused, "Where does the girl mean this?"
A Cai sneered, and put down the teacup heavily, "Xue Ling didn't marry into the Zhennan Palace voluntarily at all. Your news is too slow, and you don't even know that the major general of the Zhennan Palace has already been seriously injured and comatose. He has never woken up. Having met Xue Ling, how could it be possible to fall in love with Xue Ling at first sight and want to marry her?"
Hearing this, several people were all astonished.
A Cai said again: "It is true that Xuanyue Palace was invited by the Zhennan Palace to protect Xue Ling, but it was also to monitor her and take her back to the southwest. Unfortunately, Xue Ling's blood can be used as medicine, and feeding can only heal Xue Ling. The general's Gu worms can only be done by her blood at present, and her aunt will fall into a coma in an accident, and it is completely caused by the Zhennan Palace, just to force her to enter the Zhennan Palace."
Chen Qingyuan said in surprise: "What you said is true?"
A Cai rolled his eyes at him, "Does this girl need to lie? Although the Gu worms came from my Xuanyue Palace, they were found by the Zhennan Palace, and they designed Xue Ling, but it has nothing to do with me. What we have to do is to protect Xue Ling, let her arrive at the Zhennan Palace safely, and I don't know whether she will die or not."
Baili asked: "But since you have already caught her, why did you let her back?"
"Oh, she forced her to die, Xuanyue Palace had no choice but to compromise, and had no choice but to bring her back to fulfill her last wish." A Cai said disapprovingly.
This explanation is very far-fetched, but A Cai quickly said again: "They set out last night, once they entered the Zhennan Palace, it would be very difficult for Xue Ling to come out alive. That Gu worm is a Gu king who can change lives."
Chen Qingyuan's face changed drastically, "I'll go find my brother!"
A Cai didn't stop, "Anyway, anyway, I don't like that young general. This time, I was forced by the palace. I have to vent my anger if I can't make this loss-making deal. Unfortunately, I will offend the Zhennan Palace."
Seeing Chen Qingyuan wavering, Baili got up and said, "I'll go too."
Chen Qingyuan hesitated.
Xiao Han murmured: "Go, otherwise Pei Yin will regret it for the rest of his life when he learns the truth."
Chen Qingyuan also thought of this, so he nodded and went to look for Pei Yin together with Baili Xun.
A Cai watched them leave, but still sat on her seat generously, showing no intention of leaving.
Li Zhi said abruptly, "If Xue Ling can come back, I'm afraid someone will help him."
A Cai originally looked at the opposite tavern for a moment, then turned back.
Xiao Han asked: "Who could it be?"
Li Zhi glanced at A Cai pointedly, "Xuanyue Palace must know."
Ah Cai's eyes sank, "Who are you?"
Li Zhi asked back, "Who do you think I am?"
A Cai frowned and pondered for a moment, "I always feel that I should have met you before."
At this time, a person walked in from the door of the teahouse, leaned over and whispered in A Cai's ear for a while.Ah Cai's complexion changed, she stood up and said, "I should go."
Li Zhi looked up at her, raised the teacup in his hand, and said with a friendly attitude, "Goodbye."
There was a trace of astonishment in A Cai's eyes, and she left the teahouse full of doubts.
Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi with a very strange look, as if Li Zhi had a new love and let him down.Li Zhi still ignored him, silently looking out the window.
The storyteller in the teahouse was just talking about the excitement, and everyone was concentrating on it, and it was quiet.
Li Zhi sipped his tea, looking out the window at the busy street with people coming and going.
A purple-red maple leaf fell in the air and slowly landed on the window lattice. Under the warm yellow sunlight, the lines on the maple leaf were particularly clear.
"Are you still angry?" Xiao Han finally couldn't bear the loneliness and asked.
Li Zhi picked up the maple leaf, turned around, and suddenly said: "I want to eat walnut cake."
Xiao Han said doggy immediately, "I'll go get some."
"I want to eat the one on the street I just passed by on the south side. It smelled delicious just now."
Xiao Han recalled the location, it was a little far away, "Then let's go now?"
Li Zhiding looked at the maple leaf in his hand and said, "I don't want to move, you go."
Xiao Han finally noticed something was wrong, he saw Li Zhi looking down at the maple leaf in his hand, his soft fingertips gently stroking the pattern of the maple leaf, he also looked over, hesitantly said: "You won't run away, will you?"
Xiao Han explained: "Just like three years ago, you dismissed me, and then you ran away as soon as I turned around!" The more Xiao Han said, the more he felt that this was the case, "No, I won't go, I'll let someone buy it. !"
Li Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were clear.
Xiao Han looked into his eyes uneasily, "If I go, can I still see you when I come back?"
Under his long gaze, Li Zhi nodded his head lightly, actually looking a bit perfunctory.
Only then did Xiao Han stand up slowly, his eyes were glued to him for a moment, he was already walking slowly, lingering like a snail, and he had to turn his head three times, and walked for a long time before leaving the teahouse.
Seeing Xiao Han's back walking towards the south street, Li Zhi also stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
The maple leaf in his hand was dry and there was nothing on it, but Li Zhi knew what it meant.
He walked in the opposite direction to Xiao Han, and found maple leaves one after another in many corners. Following the guidance of the maple leaves, he walked to the diagonally opposite street corner, and saw a maple leaf falling in front of the entrance of the alley.
A slender woman in red came out of the alley. Her complexion was very fair, her face was lined with peach blossoms, and her eyes were like lacquer, making it hard to tell her age.She was looking at Li Zhi in the crowd and smiled from a distance.
The author has something to say: The new character is on the line, it is her family!
Two more in one, I have finished what I owed before, thank you for your support, chirp=3=
At the moment,? It is breaking down a little bit.
The tree trunk tilted, and Xiao Han suddenly fell down. Li Zhi tightened the rope, quickly pulled out the short sword with one hand, and inserted it into the ground deeply, only then was he able to stabilize the falling trend. At that time, their hearts were beating like thunder.
The sand and rocks on the edge of the cliff rolled down the bottomless cliff, and there was a frightening rustling sound.
Li Zhi's hands were already wounded. At this moment, a pair of beautiful hands were already covered with blood stains. Against the pale green skin, it was shocking under the moonlight.
Xiao Han said seriously: "Zhizhi,? Listen to me..."
"Shut up!" Li Zhi gritted his teeth and stared at him and said, "From the moment I saved you, your life is mine, without my permission, you don't want to die!"
Xiao Han was dumbfounded for a while, and stared blankly at him.It was as if he was meeting Li Zhi for the first time. He was a little strange, but also a little touched.
Li Zhi was looked at with embarrassment, and said stubbornly: "You can only die in my hands. Even if Lord Yan came, he would never want to take your life from me."
Xiao Han opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he pursed his lips tightly? Then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a pure and sincere smile without any impurities, "I see, thank you."
Clap clap, applause came from behind.
Yuan Hui leaned the long knife on the ground, and the blade was facing Li Zhi's profile.
"What a heart-wrenching bittersweet drama. You are a person from the Pingyang Palace and a member of the Devil's Cult. After getting along for a short time, do you have such a deep relationship?" Yuan Hui looked at Li Zhi and asked: "Okay, I don't want to waste any more time , now you have to make a choice? Beg me to save him, or agree to my conditions?"
Xiao Han sneered, "Is there a difference?"
Yuan Hui nodded happily, "Indeed not, but you have no chance to choose now."
Li Zhi wrapped the hemp rope around his right shoulder and right armpit twice, and tied a knot firmly on his chest. This was to secretly want Yuan Hui to express that he would not give up on Xiao Han.Then, as if he was too tired, he let go of the hand holding the sword, and slowly turned himself over, lying on the sandy ground, gasping for breath, his chest unceasingly rising and falling.
Yuan Hui looked down at him and said, "You should know that when a person dies, everything is gone. In fact, your current stubbornness is completely unnecessary. I will teach you another sentence today-a man who knows the current affairs is a hero."
Li Zhi laughed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and a few strands of soft black hair were wet and stuck to his cheeks. He was extremely black, and his complexion was extremely white, like a scroll of landscape painting, only his eyes were bright. Stunning, especially in such a cold moonlight.
Looking at this ordinary face, Yuan Hui sincerely felt that he should not be ordinary.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuan Hui asked.
Li Zhi seemed to be getting hot, so he raised his bloody left hand and tugged on his collar. The collar that used to be neat was pulled loose, and a pendant slipped out. The black rope was long and finger-length. The black cylinder, the moonlight reflected on the lacquered surface, should be made of jade, carved into a bamboo-shaped jade pendant.
Yuan Hui just glanced at it and praised: "It's a good thing, the carving and materials are first-class."
Hearing this, Li Zhi held the jade bamboo in his palm, as if he was afraid that Yuan Hui would snatch it, but soon, he let go, picked it up, and held it above his cheek, "It seems that your boss is definitely not an ordinary person. .”
Yuan Hui raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you are willing to come with me, maybe we can work together in the future. My boss is not short of money. Whatever you want, as long as you do things well, he will never be stingy with rewards."
Perhaps it was because Li Zhi gave up his dagger, Yuan Hui thought he was harmless, and told him about his employer, intending to recruit Li Zhi into his gang.
Li Zhi let out a low laugh from his throat, rubbing the two ends of the jade bamboo tube with his fingertips, then pressed close to the corner of his mouth, and whispered softly: "It's a pity, I'm not interested, I'm going to be someone else's dog..."
Yuan Hui's complexion changed in vain, and the kindness that he showed just now disappeared in an instant, but when he raised the knife to do something, he saw Li Zhi put the black jade bamboo tube into his mouth, pointing the end at him, He was just feeling weird, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, three slender steel needles had already been shot at him quickly!
The moment the moonlight illuminated the steel needles, the three steel needles had quickly arrived in front of Yuan Hui, reflecting the dark and cold light. He was shocked, but it was too late, and he covered his mouth the next moment. right face.
Black and red blood flowed from Yuan Hui's fingers, and three steel needles pierced into his right eye. He let out a painful and angry growl, and his veined right hand held the knife tightly, and slashed towards Li Zhi. .
Li Zhi rolled to one side to avoid it, and half-kneeled up.
Xiao Han looked at this scene in astonishment.
And at this moment, a crisp clicking sound came from Xiao Han's head again.
Hearing the sound, Li Zhi hurriedly saw that the trunk was completely broken, the rope lost its fulcrum, and quickly slid down the cliff in the direction of Xiao Han. At the same time, a rapid momentum came from the rope tied to Li Zhi's body. , yanked him down the cliff!
In a panic, Li Zhi found the only thing that could cover him on the edge of the cliff——
The dead tree on the edge of the cliff.
Taking advantage of the tendency of being dragged, he endured the pain of being constantly rubbed by sand and stones and rolled over there.His calculations were correct, and before he was about to be dragged off the cliff, he tightly hugged the trunk of the dead tree!
But because of the tendency of the other end to fall rapidly, even though he was prepared, when his chest and abdomen slammed into the tree trunk, his whole brain was empty for a moment, and the severe pain suddenly hit.
Xiao Han at the bottom of the cliff was not having a good time either. The moment he fell, the mountain wind whistled past his ears, so fast that he couldn't think of anything. The hurricane slapped hard on the rocky mountain wall, the entire right shoulder was hit numb, and the bound wrists were bloodstained.
Xiao Han gasped in pain and looked up hastily. He couldn't see where Li Zhi was, but with a few rays of moonlight, he saw the rope hanging down from the dead tree, and guessed that Li Zhi was there.
"Zhizhi, how are you?" Xiao Han shouted.
Hearing that his voice was quite energetic, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could find a chance to pull Xiao Han up, a black shadow approached behind him, and looking back, it was Yuan Hui who was full of anger.
Three steel needles glowing black and cold were stuck in his bloody right eye, and the black blood spread across his right cheek. At this moment, his face was pale and black, and his gritted teeth showed deep anger.
"I kindly gave you a chance, but you crippled one of my eyes..." Yuan Hui's voice trembled a little, perhaps because of pain, perhaps because of anger, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
After all, Yuan Huigao raised the knife in his hand, but at the moment he was about to swing the knife, several cold arrows came through the wind in the mountain forest, one hit his right hand and the other hit his back.Yuan Hui froze for a breath, and fell to the ground with the knife in his hand.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked into the dark mountain forest, where it seemed to be boiling suddenly, and many men in black clothes who were hidden inside showed their figures, their weapons collided, and they fought for a while.
Li Zhi didn't have time to think about it, he sat up with the help of the dead tree, and pulled the rope up inch by inch. Xiao Han saw that it was Li Zhi's half-protruded figure, and he also kicked his legs on the mountain wall in cooperation, going up The speed is a little faster.After pulling Xiao Han up, Li Zhi's back was soaked with sweat, and he was so tired that he knelt on the ground, his face was pale, his heart was beating very fast, his eyes were slightly closed and he was panting.
Xiao Han supported the dead tree, and then fell down beside Li Zhi. He was in danger a few times, but his strength gradually recovered. As soon as he came up, he quickly untied the rope on his wrist, finally revealing a pair of bruises and bloodstains. He didn't look at it much, but when he saw Li Zhi, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laugh.
Li Zhi was a little absent-minded, his dark eyes gathered light, and when he raised his eyes, Xiao Han suddenly hugged him.Xiao Han pressed Li Zhi's head on his shoulder, and wrapped Li Zhi in his warm embrace. He even felt that the other person's heartbeat was almost as embarrassing as his own, and Xiao Han's breath hit his eartips accordingly.
"Li Zhi, I knew that you are a good person."
Li Zhi's ears trembled slightly, and his eyes blinked quickly, but he couldn't react.
The fight in the forest came to fruition, a tall and thin man came out first, the knife in his hand was still dripping with warm blood.He strode over, and the blood-spattered face was Yan Qi.
"Your Majesty!" When Yan Qi walked to the edge of the cliff, he looked at the two blood-stained people who were embracing each other tightly under the tree, and he was a little worried and hesitant. In the end, he still stepped forward and half-kneeled to salute, and reported: " Those people are dead men, with poison in their mouths, and after we took them down, they all bit the poison sacks and committed suicide.”
Only then did Li Zhi regain his senses, and pushed Xiao Han away.
Xiao Han didn't care about it, he glanced at Yuan Hui sideways and said, "How is he?"
Yan Qi went forward to check for a while, and when he came back, his face was a bit ugly, "Dead. The arrow only hit the arm and the back shoulder. His lips were purple and his blood was black. It should be the sudden onset of the poison on the needle."
Xiao Han was startled, and looked at Yuan Hui.
He fell on his side not far away, his whole face was covered with gray and gray, the three steel needles in his right eye hadn't been pulled out|out yet, and the black blood flowed over half of his face and hadn't stopped yet.
He had just witnessed the three poisonous needles shooting Yuan Hui with his own eyes, so he knew it was Li Zhi's doing.
Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi again, opening his mouth not knowing what to say.
Li Zhi saw their intentions, "Want to keep alive?"
Xiao Han nodded, then shook his head quickly, with a smile in his voice, "It's not necessary now."
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the bottom of the cliff, and several people in black clothes jumped up from below, untying the ropes around their waists. Judging by the color of their clothes, they were obviously in the same group as Yan Qing.
Li Zhi looked at these people, a trace of astonishment flashed in his slightly widened eyes, his pale complexion gradually cooled down, and he turned to Xiao Han silently.
Yan Qi was very sensible, and immediately said: "Young master, don't worry, we have already made preparations before Yuan Hui took people up the mountain. Tonight, he captured the son and hung him on the cliff. We also rushed before you came. Precautionary measures have been taken under the cliff, but because we are in a hurry, we only found a large net temporarily, and it is very dangerous, and we dare not let the prince jump off rashly." All in all, he said gratefully: "This time, I would like to thank you, young master. Be generous and save our son."
Li Zhi still looked at Xiao Han fixedly, his eyes were a little cold, "You knew earlier?"
Seeing that his face changed so quickly, Xiao Han secretly gave Yan Qi a warning with displeased eyes, then turned around and put on a flattering smile, "They did sign me down there..."
Li Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he stood up without waiting for him to explain.
Xiao Han was at a loss, "Zhizhi..."
Li Zhi didn't stay for a moment, he turned around and left, but because his knees and chest were injured, his walking posture was a bit awkward, he limped with his body bowed, and his already ugly face was obviously a little angry, With a stab, he tore off the frayed hem of the clothes hanging down at his feet, and threw it aside viciously, even though Xiao Han called him from behind, he quickly left the cliff without looking back.
He was wrong, Xiao Han is not a pig, he is.
Why did he forget that Xiao Han is not an ordinary person, he is the eldest son of Pingyang Palace, and there are countless guards and secret guards around him, even if he needs to do something in person, the guards of the palace cannot really let him take risks alone.Xiao Han had already planned this.
And he is nosy.
Li Zhi remembered what he had said when he was saving him just now, in order to save him he let himself fall into a passive position, and now he was injured all over his body, he felt extremely ridiculous, what he did, Xiao Han didn't need it at all.
Li Zhi didn't like this very much.
When returning to Qianshan Guest House, I ran into Meng Jianyu on the road.He lit the lamps on the long corridor, one after another, and waited for someone along the way. Seeing Li Zhi's return, he showed a bit of joy on his face, and quickly put it away.
"You are hurt?"
Hearing the sound, Li Zhi turned his head and saw him diagonally opposite.
Meng Jianyu came over with a lantern, "Where did you go? Did you find someone?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi turned pale again, lowered his head and walked forward with a cold face, staggered a bit, slightly unsteady.
Meng Jianyu could see clearly, and asked behind him: "Do you want to call the doctor?"
Li Zhi didn't answer, he returned to the guest room as if he was running away, opened the door silently, closed the door, and bolted the door, and then he relaxed, leaned on the door panel, clutched his belly, limped to the table and sat down.
When he took out the torch to light the lamp, his blood-stained hands were trembling, and the faint flame jumped onto the candle, quickly lighting up the room.
Li Zhi found the gauze and golden sore medicine, rolled up his sleeves, cleaned the wound, applied the medicine, and then skillfully bandaged himself, all in one go.
He didn't even take a second look at the blood-red wound, sprinkled the powder on it, and quickly wrapped it with gauze, as if the sting of the wound with the powder could not catch up with him.Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The most serious scratches were on the elbows and knees. It was inconvenient for Li Zhi to bandage himself. He bit the cloth and looked up at the door.
The people outside just spoke——
"It's me, Xiao Han."
Li Zhi was not surprised that it was Xiao Han.Although Xiao Han still had toxins in his body, his internal energy was suppressed, and he was injured, but with Yan Qi around, he didn't need to make any effort to go down the mountain, just open his mouth.
Li Zhi paused, cut off the gauze with scissors, tied a knot on his elbow, saw the scratches and sword wounds that were still bleeding on the palm of his hand, poured the powder on his hand, and wrapped the gauze casually.
"Li Zhi, you open the door first." Xiao Han said.
Even the address is different, it sounds very serious.But Li Zhi ignored it, bandaged his hands, bent down, and pulled up the trousers little by little. When he pulled it up to his knees, because the blood-dried wound on his knees and his trousers were stuck together, even Li Zhi gasped in pain. He cruelly tore open the trousers with blood scabs, the wound opened again, and blood flowed out.
The knee is an extremely fragile place. Once this place is injured, it is not easy to heal, and because there is no flesh, it seems that the white bones are about to be exposed at this moment. Li Zhi clenched his teeth and did not make any sound. The surrounding blood stains were wiped away, and then Xiao Han's voice sounded outside the door.
"What's wrong with you?" There was no response from the room, Xiao Han gradually felt uneasy, and frowned, "I'll call Chen Qingyuan."
"No need." Li Zhi gritted his teeth.
He is taking medicine, his face is pale from the pain, he is very embarrassed and ugly now.
He doesn't want to be seen.
Xiao Han stopped in his tracks and looked back at the window paper.
All I saw was a vague silhouette, a small ball huddled inside.
Xiao Han's face turned serious, "I did plan to come to Mount Jiuhua. I wanted to lure Yuan Hui and the others out. I didn't tell you beforehand. It was my fault. You open the door first, and we can talk about it in detail."
Li Zhi's attitude was cold and firm, "No need."
Seeing no one, Xiao Han became more and more uneasy, "Okay, if you open the door now, I will tell you everything, and I will never hide a single word if you ask anything, or I will write my name upside down!"
Li Zhi's movement of wrapping up the gauze paused, his brows were tightly frowned, and he ignored it.
Xiao Han said again: "Really, I didn't expect you to save me so desperately. As I said just now, I believe in you, and I will trust you completely in the future, so you don't have to worry that I will lie to you again."
Li Zhi pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "You go, I don't want to see you now."
Xiao Han suddenly fell silent.
He felt guilty, if Li Zhi had been informed in advance, Li Zhi would not have been injured, but he still couldn't understand why Li Zhi was so angry.
At this time, Chen Qingyuan was brought over by Meng Jianyu, and when he saw Xiao Han, he exclaimed, "Master Xiao Shao, why is there blood on your shoulders?"
Li Zhi then said in a cold voice: "You all go away, don't disturb my cleanliness here!"
Meng Jianyu frowned, then looked at Xiao Han, as if he concluded that Li Zhi's displeasure had something to do with him.
Xiao Han heard the decisiveness in Li Zhi's words, and thought that he was fine when he came back, and besides, such a powerful person should be fine, but Meng Jianyu suddenly appeared... Xiao Han grabbed Meng Jianyu's body with all his strength. Hand, pretending to be weak, said: "Zhizhi is angry, it seems that I am destined not to go back to my room tonight, Senior Meng, your place is spacious, how about taking me in for a night?"
Meng Jianyu thought for a while, showing an interesting expression, "It's a great honor."
After the three left, the house returned to silence.
After Li Zhi healed his wounds, dense pain spread all over his body, making him breathless.Li Zhi was so tired that he lay down on the table, covering his belly with one hand, not wanting to move his fingers any more, leaning on his elbow with a slight side of his cheek, looking at the faint candle on the table.Everything was quiet, and little smiles slowly appeared in his dark eyes.
This night seemed very long, perhaps because too many things happened, but also seemed very short, the sky turned white all of a sudden, the sun rose quietly in the east, and a new day began.
After a night's rest, Li Zhi's pale complexion improved a bit, at least he could pretend as if he was not injured at all when he was walking outside. He was stopped by Meng Jianyu not long after he went out.
There were two bruises in Meng Jianyu's eyes, probably because he didn't sleep well, or he was looking like he was asking for a crime.
Li Zhi asked him, "What are you doing?"
This is a garden with a wide view. Because too many people were poisoned yesterday, they couldn't recover for a while after taking the antidote, so they postponed their plan to leave Jiuhua Mountain, and now there are few people out for a stroll.
Meng Jianyu said: "Your Xiao Shaozhuang owner is really powerful. He screamed for pain all night, and I couldn't sleep well all night. No wonder you want to drive him out."
Li Zhi looked behind him, but there was no one there.
"Looking for someone? I'm sorry, when I was upset, I knocked him out and threw him down the mountain." Meng Jianyu said with a half-truth, and quickly straightened his face. He reached out to Li Zhi, "Let's get back to business, hand it over."
Li Zhi asked: "What?"
Meng Jianyu suppressed his voice and said: "Sword! Someone took advantage of the chaos and stole the Nine Jin Sword last night!"
Li Zhi corrected, "It's not stealing, it's taking back."
Meng Jianyu nodded, "Okay, it belongs to your family, but don't forget, little leader, it was the weapon that killed Meng Yang. Since it has fallen into the hands of Mount Jiuhua, there is no reason to return it."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "So we took it back."
Meng Jianyu finally understood what he meant, "Aren't you going to return it?"
Li Zhi said: "You are the ones who should return it. Now the truth is revealed. If you don't arrest the person who should be arrested, why are you guarding a stolen sword?"
"Do you think we don't want to arrest? Who is Xue Ling? The niece of the head of the Xianxia faction, who is now backed by the Zhennan Palace, is about to marry the adopted son of the Zhennan King, Major General, and is protected by people from the Xuanyue Palace. If we want to leave, how can we stop it?" Meng Jianyu said: "Since the sword is the weapon used to kill Meng Yang, it should stay in Jiuhua Mountain."
Li Zhi looked at him and said: "You are so arrogant, you are more like a devil than me."
Meng Jianyu sneered, "It seems that you really don't plan to pay it back."
Li Zhi also smiled sarcastically, "It seems that someone is going to cross the river and tear down the bridge."
As soon as this statement came out, the already extremely fragile cooperation between the two was instantly shattered.When the two looked at each other, there was a breath of tit-for-tat.
Meng Jianyu touched the saber hanging on his waist, and a smile slowly leaked out of his eyes.
"Very good, I have long wanted to learn how powerful the No. [-] sword under heaven defeated Lu Xuanying."
Li Zhi's five fingers under his sleeves were slowly clenched, and the gauze under his palm was slightly red.
At this moment, Xiao Han's voice suddenly came out - "So Zhizhi is here!"
The moment the voice came, Meng Jianyu's shoulders were embraced from behind.
"Senior Meng got up really early."
Meng Jianyu's face darkened, and he slapped Xiao Han's hand away.
Xiao Han didn't feel embarrassed, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "It's just right, Hua Qichi said that he was too busy to stay on the mountain, and asked everyone to go down the mountain to play together, Zhizhi, let's go too, senior Meng, do you want to come together?"
Looking in the direction Xiao Han pointed, Hua Qichi and Baili Xun were not far away.
Meng Jianyu refused without hesitation, "No!"
Xiao Han could only sigh, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Zhi's hand. Li Zhi dodged for a while, but Xiao Han still caught him. Xiao Han showed joy, but his smile froze when he touched the thick gauze.
"Then let's go first." Xiao Han quickly recovered his smile and waved to Meng Jianyu.
Meng Jianyu still looked at Li Zhi unwillingly, and pointedly told him: "You all still have injuries on your body, go early and come back early, remember to come back and change your medicine."
Xiao Han nodded with a smile.
Li Zhi and Meng Jianyu looked at each other deeply, and the moment Xiao Han turned around to leave, Xiao Han's low voice suddenly rang in his ears, "His hand is bleeding, and it will be bandaged again in a while."
Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and his face quickly turned cold.
"Need not."
Xiao Han showed helplessness, then turned his face to Hua Qichi's side, and put on a smiling face again.
Several people also made an appointment with Chen Qingyuan and Pei Yin, all the way down the mountain, Xiao Han didn't let go of Li Zhi's hand when chatting with others, as if seeing that he was inconvenient to move, he stretched out his hand to support Li Zhi's back from time to time, let Li Zhi It was a lot easier, and he didn't push Xiao Han away.
There is a small town at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain. It is not rich, but quiet and livable.
Not long after going down the mountain, everyone went their separate ways. Chen Qingyuan followed behind Li Zhi anxiously, and Baili Xun also followed Li Zhi. After yesterday, his admiration for Li Zhi was beyond words.
The four of them didn't go shopping much, and went into the teahouse to listen to books.
Several people sat down at the small table by the window, Chen Qingyuan insisted on sitting next to Li Zhi, Baili found that he and Xiao Han couldn't react quickly, and finally had to sit opposite, he was very dissatisfied, but the artillery fire focused on Xiao Han.Naturally, Xiao Han would not admit defeat, he came and went, bickered so happily, he even had to fight with Baili to pour tea for Li Zhi.
Only then did Chen Qingyuan find an opportunity to ask Li Zhi, his voice was very low and he was very worried, "Three days have passed, when will you give me the antidote?"
Li Zhi squinted at him for a while, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Chen Qingyuan showed joy, opened the cork and saw that it was a small black and red pill, "The antidote?"
Li Zhi said without blinking his eyes: "Take this medicine, and the poison will be completely cured."
When Chen Qingyuan heard it, he held the porcelain bottle in his arms like a baby, "Thank you!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, it was just a wolfberry rehmannia pill.Seeing that Chen Qingyuan was so happy, Li Zhi stopped telling him the truth.
Chen Qingyuan cautiously put the medicine into his bosom, glanced out of the window, pointed to a tavern diagonally opposite, and said, "Hey, Brother Hua and my brother are over there."
Hearing the words, Xiao Han leaned over to look, and it really was Hua Qichi and Pei Yin, he asked curiously, "Would you use wine to drown your sorrows?"
Bai Lixun thoughtfully said: "Brother Pei really has a deep love for Miss Xue."
Xiao Han sneered: "So what, Miss Xue was pushed away by himself."
The few people stopped the topic at this point, and didn't continue talking, because Xue Ling had already declared his betrayal of the Xianxia Sect last night, and had already gone to the southwest.Although Meng Yang did, she was indeed one of the murderers. Even if she couldn't settle the score with Xue Ling, Xue Ling had already become a taboo in the Wulin League and among the six sects.
But there was one person, who took Xiao Han's words, "If someone robs your sweetheart, he would just drink away his sorrows. What is this kind of man if he is not a wimp?"
The slightly bad Central Plains dialect, when everyone turned around, it was Ah Cai.
Li Zhi also opened his eyes slightly.
Xiao Han was surprised: "Didn't you leave?"
A Cai appeared in this simple teahouse by herself, the peacock feathers on her hair were as gorgeous as ever, and her arrogance was still the same as before, she pushed Chen Qingyuan away and sat down as soon as she came.Chen Qingyuan was speechless for a while, and finally had to sit by Bailixun's side.
Xiao Han asked vigilantly, "What are you doing here?"
A Cai poured tea unceremoniously, and said sarcastically: "I didn't leave at first, but I just happened to pass by, and I felt unhappy after hearing what you said, so I just came here to sit. Why, you are not welcome?"
Xiao Han leaned towards Li Zhi, not forgetting to complain: "You are more like a devil."
A Cai sneered and said, "In the southwest, Xuanyue Palace is the Demon Cult, and I am a demon girl."
Xiao Han had nothing to say.
Then Baili Xun was replaced, "May I ask the second palace master to come here this time, but is there something wrong?"
A Cai held the teacup and didn't drink it, but slowly blew the warm mist on it, and said casually: "It's fine. It's just that I heard some false rumors, which made me very unhappy."
Chen Qingyuan said cautiously: "What rumors?"
"For example, Xue Ling climbed a high branch and married to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Since then, he has gained wealth and wealth, no worries about food and clothing, and envied others?" A Cai shook her head, "I saw many people from the Wulin League along the way, I have heard this kind of words no less than ten times, should I say that you martial arts people are stupid or superficial?"
They are not the only ones who went down the mountain for a stroll today.Baili Xun was still confused, "Where does the girl mean this?"
A Cai sneered, and put down the teacup heavily, "Xue Ling didn't marry into the Zhennan Palace voluntarily at all. Your news is too slow, and you don't even know that the major general of the Zhennan Palace has already been seriously injured and comatose. He has never woken up. Having met Xue Ling, how could it be possible to fall in love with Xue Ling at first sight and want to marry her?"
Hearing this, several people were all astonished.
A Cai said again: "It is true that Xuanyue Palace was invited by the Zhennan Palace to protect Xue Ling, but it was also to monitor her and take her back to the southwest. Unfortunately, Xue Ling's blood can be used as medicine, and feeding can only heal Xue Ling. The general's Gu worms can only be done by her blood at present, and her aunt will fall into a coma in an accident, and it is completely caused by the Zhennan Palace, just to force her to enter the Zhennan Palace."
Chen Qingyuan said in surprise: "What you said is true?"
A Cai rolled his eyes at him, "Does this girl need to lie? Although the Gu worms came from my Xuanyue Palace, they were found by the Zhennan Palace, and they designed Xue Ling, but it has nothing to do with me. What we have to do is to protect Xue Ling, let her arrive at the Zhennan Palace safely, and I don't know whether she will die or not."
Baili asked: "But since you have already caught her, why did you let her back?"
"Oh, she forced her to die, Xuanyue Palace had no choice but to compromise, and had no choice but to bring her back to fulfill her last wish." A Cai said disapprovingly.
This explanation is very far-fetched, but A Cai quickly said again: "They set out last night, once they entered the Zhennan Palace, it would be very difficult for Xue Ling to come out alive. That Gu worm is a Gu king who can change lives."
Chen Qingyuan's face changed drastically, "I'll go find my brother!"
A Cai didn't stop, "Anyway, anyway, I don't like that young general. This time, I was forced by the palace. I have to vent my anger if I can't make this loss-making deal. Unfortunately, I will offend the Zhennan Palace."
Seeing Chen Qingyuan wavering, Baili got up and said, "I'll go too."
Chen Qingyuan hesitated.
Xiao Han murmured: "Go, otherwise Pei Yin will regret it for the rest of his life when he learns the truth."
Chen Qingyuan also thought of this, so he nodded and went to look for Pei Yin together with Baili Xun.
A Cai watched them leave, but still sat on her seat generously, showing no intention of leaving.
Li Zhi said abruptly, "If Xue Ling can come back, I'm afraid someone will help him."
A Cai originally looked at the opposite tavern for a moment, then turned back.
Xiao Han asked: "Who could it be?"
Li Zhi glanced at A Cai pointedly, "Xuanyue Palace must know."
Ah Cai's eyes sank, "Who are you?"
Li Zhi asked back, "Who do you think I am?"
A Cai frowned and pondered for a moment, "I always feel that I should have met you before."
At this time, a person walked in from the door of the teahouse, leaned over and whispered in A Cai's ear for a while.Ah Cai's complexion changed, she stood up and said, "I should go."
Li Zhi looked up at her, raised the teacup in his hand, and said with a friendly attitude, "Goodbye."
There was a trace of astonishment in A Cai's eyes, and she left the teahouse full of doubts.
Xiao Han looked at Li Zhi with a very strange look, as if Li Zhi had a new love and let him down.Li Zhi still ignored him, silently looking out the window.
The storyteller in the teahouse was just talking about the excitement, and everyone was concentrating on it, and it was quiet.
Li Zhi sipped his tea, looking out the window at the busy street with people coming and going.
A purple-red maple leaf fell in the air and slowly landed on the window lattice. Under the warm yellow sunlight, the lines on the maple leaf were particularly clear.
"Are you still angry?" Xiao Han finally couldn't bear the loneliness and asked.
Li Zhi picked up the maple leaf, turned around, and suddenly said: "I want to eat walnut cake."
Xiao Han said doggy immediately, "I'll go get some."
"I want to eat the one on the street I just passed by on the south side. It smelled delicious just now."
Xiao Han recalled the location, it was a little far away, "Then let's go now?"
Li Zhiding looked at the maple leaf in his hand and said, "I don't want to move, you go."
Xiao Han finally noticed something was wrong, he saw Li Zhi looking down at the maple leaf in his hand, his soft fingertips gently stroking the pattern of the maple leaf, he also looked over, hesitantly said: "You won't run away, will you?"
Xiao Han explained: "Just like three years ago, you dismissed me, and then you ran away as soon as I turned around!" The more Xiao Han said, the more he felt that this was the case, "No, I won't go, I'll let someone buy it. !"
Li Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were clear.
Xiao Han looked into his eyes uneasily, "If I go, can I still see you when I come back?"
Under his long gaze, Li Zhi nodded his head lightly, actually looking a bit perfunctory.
Only then did Xiao Han stand up slowly, his eyes were glued to him for a moment, he was already walking slowly, lingering like a snail, and he had to turn his head three times, and walked for a long time before leaving the teahouse.
Seeing Xiao Han's back walking towards the south street, Li Zhi also stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
The maple leaf in his hand was dry and there was nothing on it, but Li Zhi knew what it meant.
He walked in the opposite direction to Xiao Han, and found maple leaves one after another in many corners. Following the guidance of the maple leaves, he walked to the diagonally opposite street corner, and saw a maple leaf falling in front of the entrance of the alley.
A slender woman in red came out of the alley. Her complexion was very fair, her face was lined with peach blossoms, and her eyes were like lacquer, making it hard to tell her age.She was looking at Li Zhi in the crowd and smiled from a distance.
The author has something to say: The new character is on the line, it is her family!
