Zisu held a box of old wild ginseng, and came outside Zhou Yue's yard anxiously. Since she slapped him hard that day, Zhou Yue never called him again.

Thinking of this, Zisu felt a surge of resentment.

His father was a squire, and he spent a lot of money to get him around, and finally sent him to Lingxiao City.I thought that at the worst, I could be a disciple of the outer sect, and I would be regarded as the glory of my ancestors, but who knew that I was assigned to Lingxi Peak.

Everyone in the world knows that the master of Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yue, never accepts disciples, so he can only be a lowly drug boy serving his master, and he has to go out of his way to please Zhou Yue.

There was a sound of footsteps crushing fallen leaves behind her, Zisu's heart trembled slightly, and she quickly turned around with a smile on her face, only to see Bai Zhu walking slowly towards this side with a basket in her hand.

Seeing that the person who came was not Zhou Yue, Zisu's face immediately fell down: "Bai Shu, where is the peak master?"

Bai Shu looked up at him, and frowned: "The peak master just went out, you should go back. Besides, even if you meet the peak master, so what?"

"How do you say that?" Zisu was anxious, did she really fall out of favor?Just because of a few lowly medicine men?

Bai Shu sighed: "I heard from Guanshi Zhang that because of the medicine men you caught, the peak master had a heart demon and suffered internal injuries. The peak master just gave you a slap, which is already a kindness, so please don't Wandering in front of the peak master, isn't that courting death?"

Zi Su's face was pale, and the resentment in her heart was almost overflowing.

Bai Zhu shook the basket again: "I found the dregs of the marrow-washing grass at the back of the yard in the morning, and just poured it out. It seems that the peak owner boiled it himself, so the injury is serious."

"The dregs of the marrow-washing grass? The peak master boiled the medicinal soup by himself?" Zisu's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help squinting her eyes. When will the peak master cook the medicinal soup by himself?These rough jobs have always been handed over to the drug boys below.

Cooking the medicinal soup with my own hands... Could it be for the sake of secrecy?But why keep it a secret?Did the peak master really drink this medicinal soup?

By the way, that night, the peak master brought back a limp medicine man, who seemed to have never been sent to the alchemy room. These days, he always sealed the yard to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving, with a mysterious look.

Also, when descending from Lingxiao Peak that evening, the peak master said that he wanted to collect medicine and let himself and Bai Shu go first...

Zisu thought wildly for a while, and suddenly remembered a piece of gossip he heard recently, as if a bright lightning flashed across his mind, and he was immediately horrified.

Could it be that……

At this moment, a monk with a sword descended from the sky, and said loudly, "Is Master Zhou here?"

Bai Shu was surprised: "Gu Qiye, why are you here? The peak master is out."

The visitor was dressed in a black outfit and a hideous bronze mask. He was one of Gu Ruhai's hidden guards, Gu Qi.

Gu Qi said indifferently: "The city lord has an order. The four peak lords are invited to go to the Lingxiao Hall at noon today. I have to inform the other peak lords. Please tell the peak lord Zhou."

Bai Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, when the peak master comes back, I will tell him right away."

Gu Qi nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

Zisu's heart moved, she grabbed Gu Qi's sleeve, and lowered her voice, "Gu Qiye, the city lord summoned the four peak lords, but for the sake of the young city lord? I heard from the gossip that the young city lord disappeared? Is it the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month? about?"

Gu Qi ignored him.

Zi Su hurriedly followed behind: "Gu Qiye!"

……

Since coming to the world of books, Zhou Yue has to go to the grove of Lingxi Peak every morning after getting up, to breathe in the fresh air, and to practice leg skills and basic swordsmanship by the way, so as not to reveal her secrets.

On this day, after practicing a set of basic sword skills, he broke out in a thin sweat, put away his sword and walked back, thinking about the recent events along the way.

Ling Xiaofeng has been under martial law for several days, and I don't know what's going on. Although Gu Ruhai hasn't closed the city yet, there is already a dark tide in Lingxiao City, and gossip is everywhere, saying that the young city lord is missing.

The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Gu Ruhai couldn't find anyone in Lingxiao Peak, so he must search the other four peaks. If he just sent people to search and didn't come to check in person, then Gu Xuecheng's disguise should be able to hide it...

Zhou Yue thought about it, and unknowingly returned to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing him coming back, Bai Shu rushed up to greet him: "Peak Lord, Gu Qiye just came here, and he said that the city lord has ordered the four peak lords to go there at noon." Lingxiao Hall."

finally come.

Zhou Yue's heart sank slightly, but he was already mentally prepared, and he didn't panic at this time, he just said lightly: "I see."

"Peak Master..." Bai Shu hesitated for a moment, as if he was about to speak.

Knowing that this is an honest boy, Zhou Yue said softly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Bai Shu stammered: "Peak Master, Zisu came here just now."

"What is he here for?" Zhou Yue frowned.

"He seemed to know he was wrong, and wanted to offer some old ginseng to the peak owner. But he kept asking me about the peak owner's affairs, and later he held on to Gu Qiye, wanting to inquire about the young city owner's affairs."

"He asked Gu Qi about the Young City Master?" Zhou Yue thumped in her heart. That night, Zisu saw herself carrying Gu Xuecheng back with her own eyes. Although Gu Xuecheng was wrapped in a quilt, the timing was too sensitive.

Bai Shu nodded: "Yes, Zisu is holding on to Gu Qiye, I think his expression is a bit wrong."

"I see." Zhou Yue pondered for a moment, dismissed Bai Shu, and returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart.

Gu Xuecheng sat on the head of the bed, looking down at a thin roll of sword manuals, his dark and slender eyelashes drooping, his eyes were quiet and focused, his pale lips were also blood-colored, with a touch of pink.

Zhou Yue felt a little comforted in her heart. Since drinking the "Blue Blood Washing Marrow Soup" that day, the child's pulse condition has become much stronger, and her complexion has also improved a lot.

"How do you feel today? Does the whip wound on your back still hurt?" Zhou Yue said with a forced smile despite his preoccupations.

"It's much better." Gu Xuecheng looked up at Zhou Yue, then frowned and said, "What, something happened?"

Zhou Yue also knew that his complexion was not good, he rubbed his face heavily, and explained the matter in detail.

"Father is so anxious, it seems that he cares about me." Gu Xuecheng twitched the corners of his lips mockingly, but his eyes were cold, without the slightest smile.

That lofty man named "Father" and this attentive, gentle and careless servant in front of them, they only care about one thing, and that is their Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

Seeing his complex expression, Zhou Yue felt her heart sinking. It's over. In the original novel, the protagonist Shou loves and hates the villain. Gu Xuecheng will not have Stockholm syndrome. Do you want to return to Gu Ruhai's side?

He regained his composure, and persuaded earnestly: "Xiaocheng, you don't want to go back, do you? Back then, Gu Ruhai treated you like that..."

Gu Xuecheng interrupted him directly, and said decisively: "There are still two hours before noon. With my father's temperament, after summoning the four peak masters, if he still can't find anyone, then he will turn the entire Lingxiao City upside down. We must be prepared."

ah?Zhou Yue blinked in surprise, then was overjoyed.

It seems that the hard work during these days has not been in vain, Gu Xuecheng no longer misses that cheap old man who abused him, but falls for himself instead, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake really works!It must be done frequently in the future, every day!

He hurriedly said: "Then we will follow the plan, so and so..."

The two lowered their voices and talked together for a while.

Finally, Zhou Yue said: "...Well, let's do it like this. After I leave, you will hide under the blanket and play by ear."

"I see." Gu Xuecheng nodded, his black crystal eyes were calm, without any panic.

Zhou Yue looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. This strategy requires extremely strong psychological quality to withstand Gu Ruhai's monstrous coercion. Few people in the world can do it, let alone a weak 13-year-old What about the protagonist?

He softened his voice: "Xiaocheng, are you really okay? Or, let's escape together."

Gu Xuecheng looked at Zhou Yue quietly, and said in a cold and firm voice, "No problem."

Looking at the young man's calm expression, Zhou Yue's chest was inexplicably solid. That's right. Although the protagonist Shou was weak and weak at first, he turned black later on and was very strong. It shows that his heart is still very strong, but he just needs to be slowly. Inspire courage.

"That's it." Zhou Yue looked at the boy and nodded solemnly.

After the two made up their minds, Zhou Yue changed into formal attire and went out as usual.

Before leaving, he told Bai Shu: "By the way, I have made up my mind that I will no longer make human pills from now on. Let the boys put them down for the dozens of corpses in the alchemy room. Soak the body in a medicine bucket, then find someone to burn incense and chant scriptures, and choose a day for burial."

"Yes, the villain will arrange it immediately." Bai Shu said respectfully.

"Do it right away, don't delay." Zhou Yue nodded, and without hesitation, he rose directly with his sword, came to the mountainside of Lingxiao Peak, and slowly climbed to the peak.

Lingxiao Peak is tall and majestic, and the main mountain road in front of the mountain is more than nine feet wide, stretching all the way into the sky. Zhou Yue climbed for half an hour, and finally came to the main hall of Lingxiao City, Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Hall is different from the exquisite inner courtyard in the back mountain. It is majestic and majestic, with overhanging eaves and cliffs. The square in front of the hall is paved with large pieces of white marble, which is very spectacular.

Zhou Yue walked into the main hall, his legs and feet were relatively slow, at this time the other three peak masters had arrived, and they all looked sideways at him.

Zhou Yue could only smile awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm late."

"You still know to come?" Lin Siyun snorted coldly.

"Late." A tall and handsome black-clothed monk held a long sword and said a word coldly. This is the master of Wenjian Peak, sword repairer Lu Zilin.

Lu Zilin's swordsmanship is excellent, and he is very arrogant. He looks down on most of the monks, so he is too lazy to talk to others, and only speaks one word at a time. Many monks secretly call him "one word Hades" behind his back.

Another chubby monk greeted Zhou Yue with a smile on his face: "Peak Master Zhou, you are here too."

This person looks like a fat man, with a cowardly appearance, and his ten fingers are thin and tender. This is the peak master of Qianji Peak, Qi Shura Immortal.He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he is good at refining various magic weapons. He is a typical technical geek.

At this moment, the four peak masters of Lingxiao City, Qin Xiu Lin Siyun, Sword Xiu Lu Zilin, Qi Xiu Luoxian, and a Dan Xiu Zhou Yue, finally arrived.

Suddenly, a long announcement came from outside the hall: "The city lord has arrived—"

Following the sound, Gu Ruhai walked in slowly.

The turbulent coercion poured down like a waterfall, and the hall was suddenly silent, almost a needle could be heard.

Different from the casual attire in the yard that day, Gu Ruhai is wearing a dark black and gold unicorn-pattern formal suit today, with a complicated and gorgeous black jade belt around his waist, on which hangs the natal sword "Sura" on the right, and one of the four top magic weapons on the left "Qian Kun Sundial", his expression is extremely gloomy, making people fearful.

Gu Ruhai followed closely behind several confidants, including the left and right envoys of Lingxiao City - the left envoy "Qingfeng Envoy" and the right envoy "Bright Moon Envoy", as well as seven black-clothed dark guards wearing bronze masks.

Among them, the last two hidden guards grabbed the ankles of the two men with one hand and dragged the two dying men out backwards, leaving two wet and ferocious bloodstains on the white marble floor.

The two men were limp, as if they had lost their bones. It was obvious that their joints had been crushed, and they almost turned into two gourds of blood. They did not know what kind of torture they had experienced.

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help swallowing. He had already recognized that these were the two guards who wanted to invade Gu Xuecheng in the firewood room that day.
