Yangyue

In the cave, only the sound of dripping water was heard for a while.

Qi Zhu was still holding a bloody knife in his hand. He silently looked at Henry Zhangyue and Bai Yu behind him, with a calm and indifferent expression. He dropped the knife in his hand, knelt down, and wiped the blood on the sorceress's clothes. Wipe the blood off your hands.

Henry Zhang stared at Qi Zhu's figure, he could choose to suspect that the person in front of him was not Qi Zhu, but looking at his original appearance, his original expression, Henry Zhang was very sure that the person in front of him was Qi Zhu.

Now, he finally understands where the little doubts he feels about Qi Zhu come from.

The color of Henry Zhangyue's eyes was as cold as an ice thorn deeply pierced into the flesh and blood, a dark flame turned into faint anger rising in his eyes, he was indeed angry and angry.

Henry Zhang said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, did you kill these people?"

Qi Zhu smiled and said, "Why? Don't you doubt my identity now?"

"You are." Henry Zhang said word by word, "You must be."

Qi Zhu knew that he could not hide from Henry Zhang that he knew martial arts, and then said: "Okay, my lord, I am indeed. But you have also seen that this is not a good place to talk, if you have any If you ask me, why don’t you go out and discuss it later.”

Qi Zhu walked straight past the two of them, but Bai Yu suddenly raised his sword and laid it across in front of Qi Zhu, with disbelief and extreme vigilance mixed in his flickering eyes, but if you look closely, you can still see a bit of struggle.

Bai Yu: "Lord Pavilion Master, don't trust this person, this person must be a disciple of the Moro Sect in disguise!"

Qi Zhu smiled when he heard the words, and he took a slight step forward, seeing that his chest was about to hit Bai Yu's blade, Bai Yu looked startled, as if he was worried about hurting Qi Zhu, he subconsciously retreated the blade of the sword.

Qi Zhu: "Why, envoy Bai Jinwei, don't you believe me? Why don't you dare to hurt me?"

Bai Yu looked at Qi Zhu, struggle appeared in his eyes, and he was a little more at a loss.

At this time, Henry Zhang turned around suddenly, and the sword edge slashed down, grabbing Qi Zhu's throat.

Qi Zhu was startled, and slammed to the side to hide, Henry Zhang lightly chased up, Zhao Zhao was merciless.Qi Zhu didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he could only dodge until his robe twirled and fell beside the stone vat, grabbed the knife that fell aside, and collided with Henry Zhang's sword.

Henry Zhang looked at him with cold eyes, staring at the slightly trembling swords that collided with each other, remembering that when he first met Qi Zhu in Chenxiangyuan, Qi Zhu's timid appearance was completely different from the calmness at this time Sharp and furious, he swung hard and wrestled with Qi Zhu thoroughly.

Qi Zhu: "Xiao Yangyue, stop! You really want to kill me!"

Henry Zhang sneered and said: "Master Hou is really good at acting!"

Qi Zhu stared at Henry Zhang with deep eyes. Although Henry Zhang seemed ruthless, he actually didn't use his ultimate move. It was probably just to test his strength. In this way, he could only give way.

Qi Zhu took a step back, and after confronting Henry Zhang for a few moves, he stepped onto the edge of the stone jar, intentionally slowing down his movements for a moment, Henry Zhang's sword slammed into his knife fiercely, at that moment, Qi Zhu Secretly let go, making a look like a knife was knocked out.

When Xiao Yangyue's blade slashed, Qi Zhu deliberately showed panic, and was unable to dodge for a while, a bloody wound was cut on his chest, and the whole person fell backwards to the ground immediately, wiping out a terrifying bloodstain.

Qi Zhu rolled twice on the ground, his clothes were ripped open with blood red, the wound stretched from his left shoulder to his lower right abdomen, and another piece of gravel was wrapped in it.

Xiao Yangyue's sword stopped, he really didn't expect that Qi Zhu could not bear the sword, and he was angry just now, so he didn't restrain his strength much, now seeing Qi Zhu being slashed by him, he was slightly stunned for a while up.

Seeing that Master Hou was injured by the Pavilion Master, Bai Yu felt anxious for a moment, not knowing whether to help him or not, Qi Zhu's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood. The pain between his eyebrows did not seem to be fake.

Bai Yu couldn't help but stepped forward, helped Qi Zhu up, looked down at his wound, secretly startled.

Qi Zhu coughed twice, with a self-deprecating smile on his face: "Xiao Yangyue, I didn't die in the hands of Mo Luojiao, but I will die in your hands."

Bai Yu said anxiously: "My lord, Master Hou is seriously injured, and my subordinates request to go ashore for further discussion!"

Seeing the blood dripping under Qi Zhu's lips, and the coldness hidden behind the smile, Henry Zhang's heart tightened inch by inch. Qi Zhu often smiles at others, but he has never seen him smile at him like this before, as if They are like enemies.

Henry Zhang held the sword in a stalemate for a moment, and finally let it go, turned around and shouted: "Go back to the shore."

Bai Yu carried Qi Zhu on his back, and followed Henry Zhang into the lake. This time, the way was clear and without too much effort, the three of them reached the shore of Tuhu Lake.

Bai Yu went ashore with Qi Zhu on his back, the wound on Qi Zhu's body was soaked in water, and the blood was continuously squeezed out from the wound, which was even more frightening, Qi Zhu closed his eyes slightly, breathing quite shallow.

Bai Yu shouted: "Prepare the medicine! Master Hou is injured, so don't delay!"

The guards around hurriedly received the orders in an orderly manner, and quickly prepared medicine gauze and a clean sedan chair. Bai Yu helped Qi Zhu onto the sedan chair, and carefully let him lean on the low stool inside the sedan chair.

Qi Zhu opened his eyes slightly, Bai Yu carefully took off Qi Zhu's coat, gravel was sprinkled around the rolled wound, which had to be picked up with tweezers to be bandaged, Bai Yu took off the armor wrists he was wearing on both hands, Picking up the tweezers, he said, "Master Hou, it will hurt a little, please bear with it."

Qi Zhu nodded slightly, and Bai Yu squeezed out the gravel one by one from the gap in the wound. He frowned frequently and pursed his lips tightly.

But in fact, Qi Zhu's pain is not very clear due to the broken meridian, and Bai Yu is also keen, so in order to prevent him from discovering the clue, he can only pretend to be one or two.

After all the broken stones were pinched out, Bai Yu cleaned up the blood and stains around the wound, disinfected and applied medicine to Qi Zhu's wound, and said: "Please don't blame the Lord Master, the Lord Hou concealed this matter first, the Pavilion Master My lord...it wasn't intentional."

"You are facing him." Qi Zhu whispered, "Bai Jinwei, will you report this matter to the emperor?"

Bai Yu slightly paused the hand that applied the medicine, and replied: "The subordinates only listen to the Lord Pavilion Master."

"Oh? In your heart, the emperor is not as big as Henry Zhang?"

"The Pavilion Master is the emperor's courtiers, and the subordinates are the Pavilion Master's courtiers. There is no difference between the two."

Bai Yu raised his head, his delicate and clear eyes stared straight at Qi Zhu's face.

He never dared to think that he knew Lord Hou very well, but now that he looked at Master Hou's handsome face as always, he felt in his heart that Master Hou's expression was indeed different.

Perhaps it was because of the blood stain, Master Hou's face was a little more aggressive.

"My subordinates have the courage to ask." Bai Yu said slowly, "When Lord Hou was fighting with the Pavilion Master just now...did you really use all your strength?"

Qi Zhu suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Yu's chin. Bai Yu was startled and could only look up.

Qi Zhufeng stared at him with eyes like blades, and said word by word: "Bai Jinwei...you really put me in a dilemma."

Qi Zhu's fingers slowly stroked the meridians and blood vessels of Bai Yu's neck. It couldn't be easier for him to take Bai Yu's life.

After a while, Qi Zhu let go of Bai Yu, and sighed slightly: "What difference does it make if I use all my strength? The left and right are not Henry Zhang's opponents."

At this time, the car curtain was suddenly lifted, and Henry Zhang sat in front of the steps, his gaze paused on Qi Zhu's wound, his eyes dimmed, and he said: "Bai Yu, go down."

Bai Yu came back to his senses, his chin was still slightly hot, and he quickly replied: "My lord, Lord Hou's injury has not been bandaged yet."

"I come."

"……Yes."

After Bai Yu stepped back, Henry Zhang sat down beside Qi Zhu, calmly helped Qi Zhu apply the bandage, Qi stared at his lowered eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Henry Zhang's fingers seemed to be a bit slender than ordinary men's, and the palms of his hands were calloused and white. Qi Zhu was quite curious, how such hands could lift the epee.

After applying the medicine, Henry Zhang brought gauze, passed it around Qi Zhu's back arm, covered the wound layer by layer, and tied a knot at the side waist.Qi Zhuchi let out a soft hiss in pain, and said, "Lord Pavilion Master, can't you be gentle?"

Henry Zhang said coldly: "Master Hou, do you know that you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? Even if I kill you first and play later, the emperor may not blame me."

"My lord is the emperor's most trusted subject, so he is naturally unscrupulous." Qi Zhudao, "If that's the case, why are you bandaging me up?"

"When did Master Hou learn this martial art?" Henry Zhang interrupted in a deep voice, "Why can't I feel internal force from Master Hou's meridians?"

Qi Zhu: "My lord, you haven't been in Wulin for a long time. There are some things that you probably don't know."

"what's up?"

"When my family went out to play, I was taken away by the martial arts sect, not because the head of that sect took a fancy to my appearance." Qi Zhudao, "It's because the head of the martial arts was looking for a person with a hidden vein. people."

Henry Zhang frowned and said: "Hidden veins?"

"My lord, have you ever experienced the pain of breaking the meridians in your body? This pain is worse than skin lingering and peeling alive. People with hidden veins are different from ordinary warriors. They don't use the meridians in their bodies to channel their internal force. In terms of martial arts attainments, they are often higher than ordinary fighters, and because the meridians of the body are broken, it is impossible to judge whether they are practicing martial arts by exploring the meridians.

"People who can practice hidden veins are mostly young men and women between fourteen and seventeen. The method of practice is to cut off all the meridians in the person's body, and then inject a large amount of internal energy into the body. If one bears this internal force without exploding and dies, then the person may develop hidden veins.

"Afterwards, these people will be given a large amount of medicine of tiger and wolf every day. These poisons need to be suppressed and eliminated with internal force, so as to force them to rapidly increase their internal strength and learn martial arts. If these poisons cannot be forced out, these poisons will slowly poison a person. The human mind will turn it into a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and scatter."

Everyone knows that the legitimate son of the Xiankunhou Mansion was kidnapped by thieves when he was 16 years old.There are many rumors about this incident, but the most discussed one is that Qi Zhu was taken captive because of his handsome appearance.

It had been four years since the Xiankun Hou's mansion found Qi Zhu back. At that time, the imperial civil servant group was at its peak, and the emperor was secretly cultivating the power of military generals. In order to express his sympathy for the civil servants, he found a head to reward the civil servants, making an exception. Feng Xiankunhou's eldest son, Qi Zhu, is the eldest son, and bestowing three generations of equal-level successors, which can be regarded as consolation for Xiankunhou's lost son.

"I have not seen the sun for four years and suffered all kinds of torture. I think the master of the pavilion knows it well." Qi Zhu said in a deep voice, "I am indeed one of the people with hidden veins, and I have survived those Painful, this is how my martial arts came about, if it wasn't for this, there would have been no successors in the Marquis Xiankun's residence."

Henry Zhang stared at Qi Zhu closely, distinguishing the subtle changes in his expression, and asked again: "Then why did Lord Hou hide it?"

"Why did I hide it?" Qi Zhu asked instead, "My lord, this doesn't seem like a question you would ask. Don't you know what kind of courtier the emperor likes? Back then, the late emperor rewarded my grandfather for the promotion of civil servants. Originally, this title would disappear in my generation, but four years ago, I was conferred the crown son, and three generations were granted the same title. This is not because I am favored by the emperor, but because my father has spent his whole life in the group disputes. Duty, neither made a big mistake nor overstepped, the emperor likes such a peaceful civil servant. At that time, the situation of the court was changing, and the emperor needed to reward the civil servant from the top to appease the civil servant group for the time being, and it was time for me to be found again. The promotion of the Hou Mansion is nothing more than a bargain I picked up."

Qi Zhu seemed to think of something, and chuckled lightly: "The emperor is suspicious. I just showed a little bit of prominence in the previous case, so the emperor sent you to follow me like this. If the emperor knows what happened back then, it is indispensable After another round of investigations, there will be no excuses if you want to add crimes, and it is not impossible to find a reason to cut off my title. One more thing is worse than one less thing, I might as well not talk about it, and I will be free."

It is impossible to lose the horse completely, Yang Yue will find out slowly, only half of Qi Zhu's words can be believed (It was said earlier that Bai Yu is a relatively important supporting role, you can spoil it in advance, Xiaobai will have feelings for Qi Zhu , but this article insists on 1v1 physically and mentally, so Xiaobai can only love unrequitedly.
