Song of Less Danger

The pungent smell of medicine and blood rushed into the nostrils, and the comatose boy on the couch suddenly began to struggle.Someone nearby shouted in a hurry, several hands came to hold down the boy, but they couldn't hold him down.

"Hurry up, what's the matter with this kid, he's still so energetic after being stabbed!"

"The gauze has been torn away, quickly tie him up!"

"Shaodan!" An anxious voice appeared, accompanied by cold fingers covering the cheeks, with a calming effect, "They are healing your wounds, you are obedient, don't move around."

Shaowei woke up completely from the coma, he panted and opened his eyes, his hands grabbed the man's wrist like iron pliers, the strength was so great that Zheng Laoge cried out in pain.

Medicine had just been applied to his chest, and the broken shoulder was fixed with bamboo pieces. Most of his upper body was covered with gauze. The gauze loosened after the struggle just now, and blood oozes from the wound again.But the young man didn't seem to feel the pain, so he sat up with one hand supporting the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Where is this place?"

The doctor next to him yelled: "Oh, oh, I really don't want my life. I have suffered such a serious injury, so I have to lie down!"

"My family found me, and we are safe." Zheng Liaoge hugged Shaowei's shoulder comfortingly, coaxing softly, "Shaowei, lie down and rest."

The young man who was as irritable and suspicious as a lion just now slowly put away his minions, gradually settled down under Zheng Laoge's gentle whispers, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Zheng Laoge took the towel on the sink and wiped off the sweat from Shaowei's forehead before getting up and leaving the bed.

They were in a room on the second floor of the Linlang Porcelain Store in the city. The people who escorted the two teenagers had dispersed, leaving only one person to accompany Zheng Liaoge.The man was tall and long-legged, wearing an ordinary and capable blue-and-white blouse, with a sunny and handsome face, thick eyebrows and big eyes like a white tiger, and an old robe over the blouse to hide the dagger and hidden weapon bag at his waist.

This person's name is Bailong, on the way here, according to him, he is his brother's capable general, together with Suzaku and Xuanwu, he is the head of the Zheng family.

Although what Zheng Liaoge heard from Xuanwu was, "That guy is just a spy, and he can jump faster than anyone else, but in terms of martial arts, he can't beat my ten strokes."

"Shen Zhan is not a good guy!" Bai Long said angrily, "Back then he was the one who pretended to be the Shen family to get close to the young master, with the intention of destroying the Zheng family. Now this guy is not stopping, and he still wants to come to the young master! But don't worry, the young master. , as long as we are here, he will definitely not be able to touch the young master."

Zheng Liaoge held a cup of hot tea, but didn't have the mood to drink it, and asked, "Any news about Xuanwu?"

"Xuanwu once heard news at the foot of Chentai Mountain on the Bashu border 20 days ago, but there has been no news since then. I have sent people to Chentai Mountain to look for it. If there is any news, I will report back soon."

"Xuanwu is gone?"

"Even so, Xuanwu has always been measured. Her martial arts was taught by the young master himself, and most people can't even touch her hair."

Zheng Laoge was a little uneasy.

Xuanwu disappeared, his master did not return, Shaowei was seriously injured, and Shen Zhan who appeared in front of him after many years.The peaceful days seemed to be broken from the moment he left Qingshan Town, all the puzzles and killings were entangled, and the last sentence left by Shen Zhan pointed to a frightening direction. I thought about it countless times, recited it countless times, and in the end, the fantasy that turned into nothingness——

"He said..." Zheng Liaoge murmured to himself dreamily, "He said he would take me to find my brother."

Bai Long looked at him in astonishment, with a complicated expression for a while, without saying a word.Zheng Laoge keenly captured this detail, "Bailong, what do you know?"

Bai Long secretly sighed that he was indeed the eldest young master's younger brother. Although he looked natural, his mind was keen and meticulous.

As the loyal guard of the Zheng family, Bailong would not hide anything from his master, even if this was a "little" master whom he hadn't seen for many years.After thinking about it, he sorted out the information he had collected from all over the place: "At present, it is known that Shen Zhan sent people to look for the whereabouts of the young master. After Xuanwu lost the news, Suzaku went to Bashu to look for you, presumably because he and the young master missed it. Afterwards, I sent people to look for it along the road from Bashu, and I didn't rush to bring people to look for it until I received the news that you had arrived in Qinggang."

Bai Long lifted his robe, then knelt down on the ground in a polite manner, "Your subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish me, young master."

Zheng Laoge hurriedly helped Bailong up, telling him not to talk about these etiquettes with him.He just didn't understand why the Zheng family's hidden guards couldn't find him everywhere along the way, so why the Nie family could bite on them repeatedly and follow them wherever they went?

Zheng Laoge temporarily put this question aside, and asked another question, "Why did the Nie family arrest us?"

Bai Long replied: "Because people from the Nie family... think that the young master is still alive."

Zheng Laoge's mind went blank for a moment.

"I'm afraid they think that the young master is the younger brother of the young master, and they will know the whereabouts of the young master, or they want to arrest you as a threat...Young master?"

Zheng Liaoge stood up and bumped into the corner of the table, the teacup on the table was overturned, and the remaining tea was spilled out.Bai Long quickly reached out to help, "Young master, be careful."

Zheng Laoge murmured softly, "Brother is still alive?"

Bai Long said solemnly at the side: "Young master, everyone in the world can listen to what they say, but Shen Zhan can't believe even a single word. The Nie family has a blood feud with us, and they always think about destroying the Zheng family. Don't let it go. What he said to you is nothing more than the fact that the Nie family is now in decline and cannot compete head-on with the Zheng family, so he wants to tie you up as a threat..."

Zheng Liaoge listened quietly, and suddenly asked: "Back then, Shen Zhan had been lurking by my brother's side for more than ten years, why didn't he kill him?"

Bai Long was taken aback for a moment: "Young master is highly skilled in martial arts, he has been invincible since he was 17 years old..."

Since the age of 17, he has been invincible. What about before the age of 17?

Zheng Laoge knew that Shen Zhan was sent to his brother when his brother was less than ten years old, and there was only one purpose for coming here, to kill people.No matter how talented the elder brother is, the childish child will always show his flaws. At that time, Shen Zhan stayed with him all day long. Didn't he have a chance to strike?

Zheng Laoge had no intention of guessing the thoughts of a madman descendant from a madman family.But Shen Zhan took so much trouble to enter the Central Plains from outside the pass, and kept saying that he wanted to find his brother. Why did he think that his brother was still alive?Where did he get the news from?

With a loud "bang!", Zheng Liaoge's train of thought was abruptly interrupted, he turned his head to follow the sound, and saw Shaowei standing at the stairs on the second floor at some point, behind a crumbling wooden door, With a thin upper body covered with gauze, her abdominal muscles are strong and firm, and her slender arm muscles imply explosive power. She only wears a pair of thin underpants, and a pair of black eyes sweep across the first floor, staring at Zheng Liaoge.

Behind him came the doctor who was complaining, "Oh, little brother, can't you lie on the bed obediently for a while? Do you know that you have a hole in your body?"

"I'll come." Zheng Liaoge hurried upstairs, reaching out to support his arm, "Shaowei, why are you up again?"

However, Shaowei directly grabbed him by the shoulder and moved towards him, his movements were full of meaning of defending the territory, and he looked at Bailong with vigilance: "Who is he?"

"Here are all members of our Zheng family." Zheng Liaoge patted him on the back lightly, as if coaxing a child, "Let's go, I will accompany you back to the room to rest."

Zheng Laoge supported Shao Wei to walk back, Shao Wei had always clasped his shoulders tightly, but this time he followed him back to the room without saying a word.Standing downstairs, Bai Long stared blankly, thinking where did the young master pick up such a wild boy with such a strong temper?

In the room, Zheng Liaoge held the quilt for Shaowei, and said in a reproachful tone, "You have suffered such a serious injury, why don't you know how to lie on the bed and recuperate."

Shaowei looked at him, "Where is Shen Zhan?"

Zheng Laoge paused, "You know him?"

Shaowei turned his head and remained silent.Zheng Laoge remembered that he had an enmity with the Nie family, and it was no surprise that he knew Shen Zhan, and realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"He's gone." Zheng Liaoge said truthfully, "Bailong came just in time. He's been looking for me before."

"Shen Zhan said he would take you away."

Zheng Liaoge didn't expect that he could still hear their conversation when he was unconscious, so he just nodded and said "hmm".

"Are you going with him?"

Zheng Liaoge was puzzled by the question, and raised his eyes to see Shaowei staring at him without blinking.

"I won't go with him." Zheng Laoge lowered his head, "I won't believe anything he says."

His mind was in a state of confusion, and he had been restless ever since he heard Shen Zhan's last words.But at this moment, he was more concerned about Shaowei's injury. Fortunately, the knife didn't hurt his vitals, and the blood was blocked in time. Zheng Liaoge and the doctor he invited were busy stopping the bleeding, applying medicine, and stitching him, and it took him a long time. The medicine and ginseng were poured through the mouth to stabilize the injury.

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shaowei's bloodless face, sighed, and stroked his forehead hair, "What a child, he was so lively when he just woke up."

Shaowei turned his head impatiently: "I'm not a child."

"Okay. Sleep for a while, I will come to ask you to eat at night."

The young man slowly fell into a deep sleep while being coaxed to sleep with soft words. Zheng Liaoge checked his injuries again, and after confirming that everything was taken care of, he got up lightly and left the room.

"White Dragon."

Zheng Laoge called Bailong, and the two stood in front of the window under the eaves, with green leaves flying outside the window, full of vitality.

"What mission did Xuanwu take to leave Bashu?"

"We received news that an unknown person appeared in the border of Bashu. To avoid accidents, we sent the nearest Xuanwu to investigate and clean up. It was originally a small task, but for some reason it delayed her trip." Bailong took out a letter Open it for him to see, "Xuanwu told us that there are people from the Nie family and a group of people who can't see the way. The style of fighting is not like the Nie family, and they are very powerful. Let us be careful."

Seeing that Zheng Laoge's expression was not good, Bailong comforted him: "Xuanwu never shows off his strength, if he really can't beat him, he will naturally hide."

Zheng Liaoge asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about my master?"

"Never."

Zheng Laoge lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, while Bailong quietly watched over him.The young master of his family seemed to be thinking about something very difficult, and he spoke after a while, "Shen Zhan is still in the city. He's here to catch me, and he won't stop until he catches me."

"The subordinate has summoned other people to return to Qinggang as soon as possible, and will protect the young master carefully."

"Can we catch Shen Zhan?"

Bai Long was dumbfounded.He looked at Zheng Liaoge and saw that the young master was looking at him seriously, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "If... Suzaku and Xuanwu are both here, let's attack together, and maybe we can take it with all our strength."

That is impossible to catch.Zheng Laoge asked again: "What about the rest of the Nie family?"

Bai Long's eyes became a little subtle, and he replied: "I caught one."

Zheng Laoge's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"

Bai Long scratched his head, "Our Zheng family has a special place for arresting people, but that place is cold and humid, and the smell is not good, so it's not a place for the young master to go."

Zheng Laoge asked, "Can't I go and have a look?"

Bai Long hurriedly replied: "Of course it can, everything is up to the young master."

So Zheng Laoge changed his clothes, put on thick boots, and followed Bailong downstairs.Bailong specially fetched a cloak and put it on for him, and when he went downstairs, the two people who were sitting downstairs also got up and followed, thus protecting Zheng Liaoge and leaving the front hall to the backyard.

The front and back of the porcelain shop are separated by a screen, and the back shop leads to the kitchen. Bailong led Zheng Liaoge into the kitchen, found a secret door from behind the corner cabinet, pushed it open, and there was a long staircase going down inside the door .

Bai Long turned his head and said, "Master, follow me, be careful on the stairs."

Zheng Laoge was a little nervous, and followed him down slowly.The bottom was so dark that he couldn't see it. He supported the wall and slowly descended the steps. As Bai Long said, the smell became more unpleasant as he went down, like the smell of dead things piled up in the ground.The walls are damp and chilly for no reason.

"This person is a leader of the secret guard of the Nie family. We have fought against him several times, and we took the lives of several brothers to bring him back." Bailong talked with Zheng Liaoge in a low voice while walking. , "We tried our best, but he didn't reveal a word, which is extremely difficult."

When they got to the bottom, the two behind them lit the candles on the wall, and Bailong opened the iron gate and walked in.In the depths of the darkness, a strong smell of blood wafted in. An iron gate stood in front of everyone, and a person could be vaguely seen hanging inside through the fence.

Bailong opened the door, and the surrounding lights were turned on. He saw a strong man was firmly restrained by iron chains. After countless tortures, there was almost no intact skin on his body.The blood under his feet had dried up and congealed into black, and his chest heaved and heaved, as if a large hole had leaked from his lungs.

Zheng Laoge's fingers trembled a little, but he tried his best to calm down, and bravely walked forward to take a closer look.The man was naked, and his scarred chest was covered with blood stains, but Zheng Liaoge could vaguely see that there were strange bruises on the man's heart, and countless bloodshots scattered outward.

Bai Long reached out and grabbed the man's hair and lifted it up. The half-dead man took a heavy breath and opened his eyes.

Zheng Liaoge stopped breathing for a moment.

Those eyes were extremely light in color, as if covered with a layer of cloud, unreal like glass beads.Zheng Liaoge immediately thought of Shen Zhan's eyes, not like human eyes, but more like cold glass.

Zheng Liaoge asked softly, "Is he sick?"

Bai Long replied, "He was poisoned."

The man's eyes moved slowly and landed on Zheng Laoge's body.Zheng Laoge instinctively wanted to back away, but he needed to see more clearly something about this man, his eyes, and the weird scar on his heart.

"Do you recognize me?" Zheng Liaoge stood in front of the man, observing his expression carefully, "I am Zheng Tingxue's younger brother."

The man made a muffled and ugly voice, Zheng Laoge stared at him, and took a step forward.

"Who told you that my brother is still alive?" Zheng Liaoge lowered his voice, his gentleness was naturally trustworthy and amiable, "Tell me, I can deliver it to the door in person."

The man murmured vaguely, and black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.He suddenly started to twitch, his complexion was as pale as a ghost, and he seemed to be constantly shivering with chills.

Bai Long frowned, and pulled Zheng Laoge behind him, "Young Master, he is going to die."

As Bai Long said, for half an hour, the man continued to gasp, vomit, and make weird noises like chanting mantras, and gradually died out in the slow death process.Zheng Laoge didn't get any information, but he focused on the position of the heart on the corpse, the entangled blood thread was like a huge flower, shocking.

"Cut out his heart." Zheng Laoge said calmly, "He was poisoned by someone."

The author says:

Bailong (Assassin): Young Master, come with me, this one will take you flying!

Zheng Liaoge (assistant): Go, go, go, turn (catch) wild (Shen Zhan)!

Shen Zhan (Enemy Assassin): Good guy, your eyelids twitched?
