I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Qiu Qianren's dantian was pierced by sword energy, which was equivalent to being crippled with internal energy and had no chance to practice again.In severe pain and despair, he raised his hand to attack the culprit who was close at hand, but was stopped by the guards of White Camel Mountain who came from behind.

In just a short while, this arrogant masked villain was pinned down to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

Bai Shi stepped forward with a sneer, and pulled off the gangster's mask.

"This is you!"

Everyone suddenly discovered that this despicable attacker was Qiu Qianren, the iron palm gang they had seen before.

Pei Xiang couldn't help coughing twice.

When he was kidnapped, Pei Xiang had already guessed Qiu Qianren's identity.The reason why she didn't fight back at the very beginning was because she planned to deal patiently with this man a few times, and by the way, to make a routine, to find out the real reason why Qiu Qianren attacked the captive at night.

But Pei Xiang didn't expect that this person was already cold-blooded to a certain extent.In order to get rid of Master Yuanchen and buy himself enough time to escape, he chose to attack an innocent baby.Such behavior is really vicious to the extreme.

The child's mother hugged the lost and recovered flesh and blood, first stunned and dazed, and then burst into tears. At this moment, the young woman felt a wave of fear and powerlessness, and couldn't help trembling slightly.

Probably because mother and child are connected, the little baby who has been very quiet heard the mother's cry, and also cried with a wow, which sounded very pitiful.

Master Yuanchen chanted the Buddha's name, recited the scriptures in a low voice, and comforted the frightened mother and child with the compassionate and magnanimous voice of the Buddha.

Pei Xiang poured two Jiurui Zhirong Pills, which nourishes lean energy, into his mouth, and used the bitter taste of the medicine to suppress the sweet blood in his throat.

"Go back first," Pei Xiang supported Bai Jiu, and ordered in a low voice, "Take this man into custody. Tonight, you first have a trial of the reason for his sneak attack, and I will personally investigate this matter tomorrow."

The guards took orders, and kicked and kicked away the young leader of the Iron Palm Gang.

After that, Bai Shi stayed to deal with the follow-up troubles, and Pei Xiang took Bai Jiu and others back to the inn.

"Madam, your body..."

Pei Xiang sighed and explained briefly:

"I used sword energy tonight, and my body can't take it anymore. I have to find a way to heal my injuries as soon as possible, otherwise there will be hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Bai Jiu asked eagerly: "Is there a way for the eldest lady to heal the wound? The subordinates and others are willing to do their best."

Pei Xiang smiled lightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, the injury is not serious. As long as the treatment is timely, there will be nothing serious."

She skipped the specific treatment method, and told Bai Jiudao in a slow voice:

"There must be more inside information about what happened tonight. But Qiu Qianren is somewhat arrogant and arrogant. I don't think he will reveal the truth so soon. We need to think long-term. The most important thing now is to Master Yuanchen escorted him to the Western Region intact, and asked him to heal the Eldest Young Master, and the rest is not important."

"My subordinate understands."

"But there have been several twists and turns in just a few days, and I'm really worried about the safety of my next trip."

Bai Jiu looked ashamed: "It's because the subordinates are not doing enough to protect the lord, please punish the lady."

Pei Xiang shook his head: "It's not your fault, Qiu Qianren and Gongsun Hao are both top-notch masters in the arena, and it's not easy to deal with them."

"It would be great if the Second Young Master was here." Bai Jiu couldn't help but said.

"Second brother is far away in the Western Regions now, and he has to recharge his batteries to help the eldest son heal his injuries. We can't rely on him for everything. However, when it comes to mastering the battle, I have someone here."

Bai Jiumu showed curiosity.

Pei Xiang motioned Bai Jiu to spread paper and ink.

"Since we are in trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and have somehow offended the local big gang, the Iron Palm Gang, then we have to find someone who can fight against the Iron Palm Gang to help. Bai Jiu, I will give Hong Qi, the young leader of the Beggar Gang, Write a letter, asking him to help us escort Master Yuanchen out of customs."

Bai Jiu's eyes brightened slightly, and she said while grinding the ink:

"Young Master Hong has strong martial arts skills, a wide range of friends, and rich experience in the world. Over the years, he has done many good deeds of chivalry and is very prestigious. If he and the disciples of the Beggar Sect are under his guidance, our trip will go much smoother."

Pei Xiang gave a "hmm" and wrote a letter to Hong Qi for help.

Since the acquaintance, the connection between Pei Xiang and Hong Qi has not been broken.

In the past two years, several elders of the Beggar Clan were ambushed by golden men in the Western Regions and were seriously injured. Later, thanks to the help of Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng, the elders saved their lives.

Since then, Baituoshan's business in the customs can always be taken care of by the disciples of the beggar gang, which saves a lot of trivial troubles.And Ouyang Zheng also reciprocated, and ordered his subordinates to take care of the children of the beggar gang who were traveling and working in Jin Kingdom, Xixia and many small countries in the Western Regions.The two sides came and went, and gradually established some tacit understanding and friendship.

Of course, even though Hong Qi and Ouyang Zheng and his wife drew closer, the aura between Hong Qi and Ouyang Feng was still at odds.

Sometimes Pei Xiang couldn't understand that the two brothers of Ouyang's family were not honest and good people, but why did Hong Qi just focus on Ouyang Feng's criticism, but he had a good impression of Ouyang Zheng, who had a subtle way of handling things?

At this time, a cough welling up in his throat interrupted Pei Xiang's thoughts.She silently read the letter she had just written again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, she asked Bai Jiu to deliver the letter overnight.

When he was alone, Pei Xiang stopped trying to maintain an upright sitting posture, but leaned limply on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.After resting for a while, she frowned and felt her own pulse, and carefully checked the injuries in her body again.

——Sure enough, considering the current level of forging, the move just now was still too forced.

——At present, the strength of flesh and bones of this body cannot bear that kind of sword energy and sword intent.The inside of the body is already full of hidden wounds at this moment, if it is not nourished and repaired in time, there will definitely be sequelae.

——Nourish and repair the hidden wounds of the whole body?Easier said than done.Besides, I have to take into account the balance between the elixir and the poison in my body, if I am not careful, the injury will worsen.

—…Actually, the best way to repair the hidden wounds in the body is to immediately carry out the fourth stage of body forging, which can be regarded as an alternative way of fighting poison with poison.

——Let the more pure and abundant medicinal power impact and polish this flesh and blood body, remove the dark wounds while further forging the body, and let the newly absorbed elixir and poison work together to temper the meridians of new flesh and blood.

Pei Xiang figured out the solution, but the solemnity between her brows did not ease a bit, because she had already expected how difficult this treatment method would be.

——The fourth stage was originally a watershed, and now the reason for the injury is added...the dosage must be increased, the formula must be adjusted, and the small means of pain relief must be removed, um, the pain must be super painful...

——Hmm, I think back then, Ben Jiaojiao was a baby who was scared to see a dentist, but now she has to be so strong, life is so difficult~

——Woooo... Come on, little fairy!Little fairy be stronger!For many years, a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, as long as the kung fu is ground into a needle with a deep iron pestle, it will feel good after the pain!

Early the next morning, Pei Xiang, who hadn't slept well all night, ate breakfast slowly, and listened to the report on Qiu Qianren by the guards of Baituoshan with a straight face.

"Qiu Qianren's tendons in his right hand have been ruptured, his dantian has been abolished, and he seems to be in a trance. He has never spoken. When his subordinates interrogated him, he went crazy and hit the wall several times, as if he had the will to die."

"In a trance? Well, when he broke in through the window yesterday, he must have been contaminated with the medicine powder I sprinkled on the window, so he was in a daze. However, a person like him will not give up lightly, you should strengthen supervision , Ruanjinsan and other things are about to fall, be careful, don't let him wait for the opportunity to escape."

"The subordinates will be vigilant, please rest assured, Madam."

"Well, of course I'm relieved of you. By the way, send someone back to Suzhou to see what happened to the man and woman we sent to the hospital. If they are missing, please ask the local beggar gang disciples to inquire about them. "

"Subordinates take orders."

"Go and send an order. After half an hour, let the three commanders, Bai San, Bai Jiu and Bai Shi, come to me together. I have something to order."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

Pei Xiang took a sip of porridge, and then two mouthfuls of side dishes, thinking about why Qiu Qianren came here.

——Could it be for Gongsun Hao?Brotherly loyalty?No, it doesn't exist.

——Could it be related to the secret that Gongsun Hao hid?Then why did you come to me?

——Before he suddenly appeared, I was talking with Bai Jiu about the search for medicine in the East China Sea. Does this matter have anything to do with Qiu Qianren?

A few random thoughts and guesses popped up in his mind, but Pei Xiang denied them one by one.Because there are too few known clues so far, Pei Xiang couldn't figure out the real reason why Qiu Qianren attacked her for a while, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being and focus on solving the current predicament.

Half an hour later, Bai San, Bai Jiu and Bai 13 appeared in front of Pei Xiang.Pei Xiang briefly explained his physical condition to the three people, and told them that he needed to go to the East China Sea as soon as possible to get the last medicinal material, and then heal his wounds nearby, and it was very likely that he would spend a while at the seaside.

However, the matter of escorting Master Yuanchen to the Western Regions is also urgent.Fortunately, she has already asked Hong Qi, the young leader of the Beggar Gang, for help. Once the other party arrives, the escort will be considered secure, and she will be able to travel with confidence.

"I will contact Lan Shier and ask them to pick me up on the east coast. The three of you don't have to worry about my affairs, just concentrate on protecting Master Yuanchen."

"Eldest madam, the eldest son's order to me is to protect madam. If madam is going to Donghai, please let me accompany you."

Pei Xiang shook his head: "It will be more convenient to travel alone. I have self-protection means, but I will be tied up with you. Well, this is my decision. It is useless for you to bring out the eldest son. I will write to him in a while , explain what happened clearly, and he will not punish you for it."

Bai San said with a serious expression: "We are willing to do our best to protect and follow the eldest lady, not because we are worried about the punishment of the eldest son. Eldest lady, it is a long way to the East China Sea, and you are seriously injured. We really can't feel at ease."

Bai Jiu and Bai Shi also agree with Bai San's statement.

Pei Xiang smiled and didn't say anything more.

Two days later, the guards sent by Pei Xiang to inquire about the news in Suzhou City rushed back.

He reported to Pei Xiang that a man and a woman placed in the medical hall were indeed missing.According to the apprentices of the medical hall, the two disappeared in the room of the medical hall on the first night of their stay, and no one found out when they left.

Pei Xiang nodded thoughtfully.

She thought to herself, judging from the serious injuries of the man surnamed Zeng, the possibility of the two of them leaving voluntarily is very small, and they were probably "invited" away by someone.As for whether he is still alive, Pei Xiang is not sure.

Along with the bodyguard who went to Suzhou to investigate the situation, Hong Qi, the young master of the Beggar Gang, also arrived.When old friends meet, they are naturally delighted.However, when Hong Qi heard about Pei Xiang's experience, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"That's unreasonable! That Qiu Qianren's behavior is so unscrupulous, he is completely unworthy of the cultivation and trust of Senior Shangguan Jiannan. Heh, hiding his head and tail, bullying the weak, and killing innocent people indiscriminately, how can such a person be worthy of being the leader of the Iron Palm Gang!"

Pei Xiang poured Hong Qi a glass of wine, and said softly:

"Senior Shangguan Jiannan is a hero who fought against gold, and he is a well-known hero. Qiu Qianren saved his life, so he trusted Qiu Qianren a lot, and taught him all his martial arts without any secrets. Moreover, he never Interfering with Qiu Qianren's management of influence within the Iron Palm Gang and cultivating cronies. He has been frank and frank all his life, and he probably never thought that the young man who desperately saved people would have such a cruel heart."

Hong Qi sighed, feeling sorry for her.But he has always been open-minded and open-minded, and will not indulge in anger and sadness for a long time, so he quickly suppressed his regret and disgust, and asked about Pei Xiang's injury and Ouyang Zheng's physical condition.

When he learned that with the help of Master Yuanchen's Yiyang Finger, the eldest son Ouyang Zheng was likely to get rid of all his illnesses and regain his health, so he immediately slapped his thigh and burst out laughing.

He yelled to ask Pei Xiang to treat him to a drink and dinner, but he didn't notice that Pei Xiang lightly ignored his injury.Of course, it may also be deliberately ignored by the young gang leader.When he sees his friends avoiding answering certain things, he will not continue to ask questions, and pays great attention to the sense of proportion when getting along with friends.

Half a day after reuniting with Hong Qi, Pei Xiang arranged all the trivial matters, then disguised himself as a sick and weak scholar, and quietly left the White Camel Mountain team with a small bag on his back.

Because of Hong Qi's cover, it wasn't until noon on the second day that the guards of White Camel Mountain suddenly realized that the lady they wanted to protect and follow had disappeared.

As a result, the quality of the young gang leader's food obviously began to decline...

On the east coast, in a certain fishing village.

Lan Shier and the others finally saw Pei Xiang who had arrived safely, and they were all overjoyed.

During the days when Pei Xiang was traveling alone, all of them felt the eldest son's anger and felt insecure.

At the same time, Bai San, Bai Jiu, and Bai Shi, who couldn't guard the lady, have become the targets of silent condemnation by all Baituoshan's subordinates, and Lan Shier, who couldn't find the medicine and had to trouble the lady to go there personally, also suffered To all kinds of disgust.

"Madam!"

"Lan Twelve, don't come here to be safe."

"Your subordinate is well, Madam, is your journey going well?"

Pei Xiang smiled and nodded, indicating that everything is fine.

After Pei Xiang boarded the boat, Lan Twelve quickly took out a letter written by Ouyang Zheng from his pocket, and solemnly handed it to Pei Xiang.

"Eldest Madam, the first time Eldest Young Master lets his subordinates see you, I will give you this letter."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows, and instead of opening Ouyang Zheng's letter immediately, he looked at the blue sea and asked:

"Shall we go to that island now? That Mr. Huang is still on the island?"

"Yes, ma'am," Lan Twelve nodded, and then frowned at the mention of the troublesome Huang Yaoshi, "Mr. Huang has been on the island recently. He has occupied the entire island now. If you take a few more steps, you will get lost."

Pei Xiang was a little curious: "What is he doing on the island?"

Lan Shier replied: "I was building a house before, but I have been planting peach trees these days."

"A race?"

"No, the subordinates planted it for him," Lan Twelve explained with a wry smile, "The subordinates wanted to confirm the growth of those medicinal plants, so they had to go to the middle of the island, but they got lost as soon as they entered. Go around in circles. Only when Mr. Huang has planted ten trees, he will let one person pass. After a long time, the subordinates made a rough estimate, and most of the peach trees on the island were planted by the subordinates themselves. of."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang finally couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Let me guess. The more peach trees you plant, the more difficult the island's roads will be, won't you? You've made obstacles for yourself again and again, and you have to do it, don't you?"

Lan Twelve rubbed his cheeks vigorously, acquiescing to this helpless fact.

Pei Xiang curled up the corners of his mouth, feeling a little sympathetic in his heart.

Then, she lowered her head and opened Ouyang Zheng's letter.

The eldest son's handwriting is still smooth and flowing, sparse and elegant, but the strokes of the strokes wander between turnings, as if hiding a hint of lovesickness that seems to be absent.Seeing this, Pei Xiang was slightly distracted.

The ups and downs of the waves brought Pei Xiang back to her senses. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to read the contents of the letter carefully.
