Yangyue

After listening to Qi Zhu's words, Henry Zhang was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Did Hou Ye really tell the truth?"

Qi Zhu: "I'm telling the truth, believe it or not, it's up to you."

Xiao Yangyue: "Since Lord Hou said that people with hidden veins often have higher martial arts skills than ordinary warriors, why couldn't Master Hou catch my sword just now?"

"My lord, you also said that you are an ordinary martial artist." Qi Zhu looked a little helpless, "If you are an ordinary martial artist, how can you call other martial arts masters in the world?"

"Did you kill those people in the cave at the bottom?"

"I killed it."

"What about what happened in the tavern in the capital at the beginning of that year?" Henry Zhang asked, "The corpse in the wine cellar was also done by Lord Hou?"

Qi Zhu paused slightly, but he didn't expect that Henry Zhang could think of that thing so quickly.His knowledge of martial arts has been exposed. If it was an ordinary assassin's corpse, he would have admitted it directly. The difficulty lies in the abnormal death of that corpse. If it weren't for someone with profound knowledge in internal force and hidden weapon manipulation, he might not be able to do it.

But just thinking about this matter instead of answering immediately was enough to make Henry Zhang suspicious of him, and Qi Zhu simply replied: "Yes, it was me. You asked me to escape the door, but when I went out, I accidentally touched On the assassin, I had to act as a last resort."

Xiao Yangyue snorted coldly, and seemed to have an answer in his heart, he opened the sedan chair curtain, and called Bai Yu in: "Bai Yu, look at Lord Hou, don't allow him to move around."

Bai Yu agreed, and sat on the ground of the sedan chair, Qi Zhu stared at Bai Yu, and suddenly half-joked to Henry Zhang: "My lord, Bai Jinwei is really meticulous and heartfelt. The Hou Mansion also lacks a personal bodyguard, why don't you let him out and come to my Hou Mansion to work? The monthly salary will never be lower than that in the Duckweed Pavilion."

Bai Yu was startled, her body tensed up, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at Henry Zhang.

"Why? The Hou's Mansion is still short of a guard? Besides, in my opinion, Master Hou is very skilled in martial arts, so I'm afraid he doesn't need any guards." Xiao Yangyue said coldly, "Master Hou should not talk about such jokes!"

Henry Zhang was extremely annoyed for a moment, turned around and lifted the sedan chair curtain and went out. He stepped on his horse and ordered the team to set off, returning to Beixian County first.

After Henry Zhang left, only Qi Zhu and Bai Yu were left in the sedan chair.Qi Zhu looked down at the gauze wrapped around his waist and abdomen, Henry Zhang was indeed wrapped fairly carefully.

He hadn't been injured for a long time, and Henry Zhang was one of the only two people who could leave such a wound on his body.

Bai Yu, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke, his voice mixed with nervousness: "Master Hou, the Duckweed Pavilion is an institution directly subordinate to the emperor. Although we are under the Lord Master of the Pavilion, we are all military officials of the imperial court's regular rank. If it wasn't for the emperor's own decree, even the master of the pavilion can't make the decision...Your Majesty must stop saying such things, so as not to let the emperor know and make the emperor angry."

Bai Yu was worried that Qi Zhu's words would cause trouble to his upper body, but putting aside these things, talking about himself... He also didn't like Hou Ye saying such words.

Today, the matter of the Moro Sect is not over yet. Although its stronghold has been discovered, the leader has not been killed and is still fleeing.How to arrange the remaining matters needs to be discussed with the palace.

When everyone arrived in Beixian County, it was already midnight, and it would take a long journey to return to the palace. Lord Hou was injured, and it was inconvenient to bump around at night, so everyone first stayed in an inn in Beixian County.

Henry Zhang stayed in Qi Zhu's room, and there was only one bed in the room. He didn't plan to sleep tonight, so he sat at the table, lit a lamp, and read the secret letters sent from the capital in the past few days .

After late at night, Qi Zhu on the bed was already sound asleep, maybe he had dreamed of something in his dream, he moved his arm slightly and put it on his body.

Qi Zhu sleeps in such a position for a long time, I am afraid that he will press the wound on his chest and abdomen, Henry Zhang lowered his head and read the letter for a while, seeing that Qi Zhu still kept that position, he stood up and walked to Qi Zhu's bedside.

Obviously, it is only necessary to gently move Qi Zhu's arm away and put it aside safely, but Henry Zhang doesn't know where to start with such a simple matter.

He slowly stretched out his hand, as gently as possible, covering Qi Zhu's wrist with his fingers, and was about to lift his arm, but Qi Zhu suddenly turned his wrist, tightened his fingers, and instead clasped Henry Zhang's wrist tightly live.

Henry Zhang was startled, and was pulled forward by Qi Zhu and leaned forward, her untied hair slipped from behind and fell on Qi Zhu's neck.

Henry Zhang was very sure that Qi Zhu must have fallen asleep just now, but he was able to wake up the moment he was close to him, which shows his reaction and vigilance.

Qi Zhu opened his eyes and looked at him: "What is the pavilion master doing?"

"I saw Master Hou pressing the wound, so I wanted to help Master Hou move his arm." Henry Zhang's voice was cold, "I didn't expect Master Hou to be so defensive."

Qi Zhu: "Oh? It seems that I don't know how to praise."

Qi Zhu let go of Henry Zhangyue's wrist, but noticed Henry Zhangyue's hair hanging around her neck, and picked up a strand with her fingers. Henry Zhang didn't notice that Qi Zhu was holding her hair, raised her upper body, and Got ripped off.

Qi Zhu laughed: "I'm sorry."

Henry Zhangyue said slightly annoyed: "What is Hou Ye doing?"

"Your hair is smooth and soft, and feels very comfortable to the touch." Qi Zhu let Henry Zhangyue's hair slip from between his fingers, "It's late at night, Lord Pavilion Master, let's rest."

After speaking, Qi Zhu moved his arms aside, closed his eyes and fell asleep leisurely.After a while, Qi Zhu felt that the lights in the room were blown out, and the mattress beside him was slightly pressed down. He opened his eyes again and saw Henry Zhang sitting down.

Qi Zhu: "Is there anything else, Master Pavilion?"

Henry Zhang: "Didn't Master Hou let me rest?"

Qi Zhu asked him to rest, naturally he asked him to go back to his room to rest, and Xiao Yangyue was wronged to sleep with him for so many days, and now he doesn't need to share the same bed, so why do he still have to squeeze with him? Made a bed?

Qi Zhu: "My lord, you don't have to wrong yourself to sleep with me."

Unexpectedly by Qi Zhu, Henry Zhang took off his coat, leaned over and approached him suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou just fell asleep."

Henry Zhang lay down on Qi Zhu's side, with his palms slowly resting on Qi Zhu's chest, facing the place where the heart was beating in the chest cavity.

Qi Zhu understood what Henry Zhang wanted to do in an instant, he wanted to test his heart again whether he could feel the internal force wandering, and he wanted to test it all night.

The meridians in Qi Zhu's body have not been completely broken, and the heart meridians can still be detected. This is not in line with what he said about the hidden veins in front of Henry Zhangyue. lie.

Qi Zhu can do it for a few hours to suppress the internal force, but the difficulty lies in the fact that he must be awake to suppress the internal force, and once he stays awake, Henry Zhang will find through his pulse that he has not fallen asleep.

At this time, it was different from being in the carriage before, even if he was awake at that time, he could still attribute it to the bumps of the carriage.

Now Henry Zhang already knew that he knew martial arts, and made him fall asleep on purpose, apparently doubting the temptation that day.If you find that he is awake, you will know that he is deliberately suppressing the inner force of the heart.

If he really falls asleep and his internal energy cannot be suppressed, Henry Zhang will find that his martial arts are far more than that.

However, when the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, Henry Zhang wanted Qi Zhu to be in a dilemma, which was still a little immature.

Qi Zhu: "My lord, how can I sleep like this?"

"It's not the first time Master Hou slept with me." Henry Zhangyue said, "Why can't I sleep?"

"Although I sleep with you, we sleep separately. When have you ever been like this?" Qi Zhu replied, "Forgive me, Lord Pavilion Master, I am really not used to touching other people's bodies when I fall asleep."

Henry Zhang snorted coldly: "If I were a woman, Lord Hou might not have so much trouble."

"That's not the reason."

Qi Zhu turned over, frowned suddenly, and groaned in pain, Henry Zhang sat up from the bed, immediately reached out and untied Qi Zhu's coat, and saw that the gauze on Qi Zhu's chest and abdomen was bleeding, obviously The wound is open.

Henry Zhang's heart tightened, and he got up and walked out of the room to ask someone to bring medicine and new gauze. After returning, he cleaned the wound and changed the medicine for him, and never mentioned it again.

Qi Zhu could see that for hurting him, although Xiao Yangyue said that it was okay to kill him first, but he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Just let him never know that the wound was opened by himself with internal force.

In the morning of the second day, when everyone was about to go back to the palace, Qi Zhu came to the side of the carriages and horses parked in the backyard of the inn. He was injured yesterday and didn't pay attention, but today he found that there were a dozen guards around a sedan chair.

Qi Zhu: "That's it?"

Henry Zhang: "Watching the assassin."

Qi Zhu pondered for a moment: "I'll go and have a look."

Qi Zhu walked towards the sedan chair, Henry Zhang looked at Qi Zhu's back, and also stepped up to follow.

Qi Zhu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that the assassin was tied up in the corner of the sedan chair with a pale complexion. There were not many external injuries on his body, but all ten fingernails were crushed by herself, and the palms of his hands were covered with blood. Unbearable capital punishment.

Hearing that Qi Zhu came in, the assassin slightly opened his eyes, his eyes were covered with dense bloodshot eyes, and his expression was somewhat hollow.

Looking at Qi Zhu, the assassin was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly figured out something, he laughed out loud with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Bleeding gushed out of her seven orifices, and her internal organs were clearly damaged, but she still seemed to be unable to feel the pain, laughing almost maniacally.

The scene in front of him surprised both Qi Zhu and Henry Zhang. Henry Zhang subconsciously pulled out his sword and stood in front of Qi Zhu. Qi Zhu pressed his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "My lord, she has You won't live long, it's impossible to hurt me, why don't you listen to what she wants to say."

Henry Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still put down the sword.

Qi Zhu knelt down in front of the assassin: "What else do you want to say?"

The assassin's mood fluctuated violently, and he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, coughing up blood for a while.With the last of her strength, she stretched out her hand weakly, grabbed Qi Zhu's sleeve, her eyes widened, and her mouth hoarsely hissed like a gust of wind: "You...you...it's you..."

The assassin's lips were opening and closing, exhausted, and his voice became more and more angry: "All of this...is...is...a disaster..."

In an instant, the assassin's voice stopped abruptly, and then roared in pain, Henry Zhang pulled Qi Zhu back, the assassin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and finally fell to the ground, no more live.

After confirming that the assassin was dead, Henry Zhang looked up at Qi Zhu, with some doubts in his eyes: "Master Hou, she seems to recognize you?"

Qi Zhu shook his head slowly: "But I've never seen her before."

"She said intermittently just now, 'All this is a disaster...', what does this mean? Does the Marquis know?"

Qi Zhu: "Heretic cults are raging and have killed so many innocent people, isn't it just a disaster?"

Xiao Yangyue frowned slightly, said no more, but walked out with the sword in hand, and ordered people to drag the assassin's body down and bury it.

Everyone embarked on the return journey to the palace. When the convoy had only traveled two miles, a fast horse galloped towards him. A duckweed pavilion guard in armor suddenly tightened the reins and jumped amidst the neighing of the horse. Get off your horse, kneel down and report: "Lord Pavilion Master! Your son was assassinated an hour ago!"
