Deputy General Shi's sudden words surprised everyone.
Bao Zheng said calmly, "How do you say that?"
Deputy General Shi has pretty much said what should be said and what should not be said.It's all up to this point, and I don't care to say more.As soon as Bao Zheng asked, he immediately said: "Of course it is impossible for the young man to have the ability to enter and leave the prefect's office and the military camp at will. But Master Mei is different! The prefect's office is his territory, and there is also the military camp. Tao Zhifu He is also brought here from time to time, and sometimes he is also called for arraignment."
Gongsun Ce said angrily: "Don't gossip, Master Mei, General Mu and you, what hatred can there be? Could it be that you have attacked him?"
Deputy General Shi rolled his lips: "We don't, but who knows if Tao Zhifu has one? Besides, every time we go to the Nanfeng Pavilion and have fun in the barracks, Tao Zhifu always forces Mr. Mei to stay and watch , Mr. Mei’s expression is so disgusting every time, maybe he just can’t bear it anymore and wants to do something?” He slapped his thigh, “Oh! When General Mu didn’t know it at first, he once tried to force Mr. Mei! "
When he said this, not only was he not ashamed, but there was even a hint of complacency in his expression.It seems that it is such a remarkable and majestic thing to humiliate others at will.
Bao Zheng frowned in disgust, then turned his head and whispered to Gongsun Ce: "Where is the soldier that Vice General He sent to deliver the order when I last saw Hua Jiang?"
Gongsun Ce: "After the questioning, he has been sent back to the barracks. He said that he entered the tent to give orders to General Mu when General Hua left to pour water, and he had never seen anyone else enter the barracks...so , the murderer did not attack General Mu until after he gave the order."
Bao Zheng took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Deputy General Yan Shi, and didn't ask any more questions.
He stood up, making the Hexi army look up to this guy, and he left with his people.
Mo Qi asked Bao Zheng: "What does Prime Minister Bao think?"
Bao Zheng shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. It may be possible that Master Mei is the murderer. After all, this murderer kills, and he kills all villains for the good of Hexi. The actions of the shadow people in the corpse are not contradictory. It's just that... he probably didn't expect that there are many shadow people, and they are all masters of martial arts. After he met these shadow people, not only failed to catch them, but was caught by the shadow people. People use 'the way of the person to treat the person's body' to kill and silence, and frame it by the way."
Gong Jiu suddenly turned his eyes: "Wait? The shadow man?" He suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Yelu Ruyu who was watching from the sidelines, "This time, the Tuguo may be related to the Seventh Prince again. Bar?"
Previously, the dark green jade was a collaboration between Yelu Ruyu and the shadow man, but this time Yelu Ruyu followed him all the way from Bianjing, not to mention, there is really such a possibility.
Yelu Ruyu showed an innocent expression: "Of course not, I don't want to use such weird things on my Daliao soldiers."
He didn't say that he didn't know Tuguo at all, if he really said that, it would be too fake.Bao Zheng didn't believe that Yelu Ruyu really came all the way to Song Dynasty without bringing anyone with him.Even if he really didn't bring anyone with him, it only means that he has already planted a nail in Da Song.
Gong Jiu looked at Yelu Ruyu suspiciously.
Yelu Ruyu's words seemed to be true, but no one could be sure whether what he said was true.But he happened to be the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and the seventh prince of the Liao Kingdom. Without direct evidence, he was not allowed to touch him at will.
Bao Zheng took a serious look at Yelu Ruyu: "I hope the Seventh Prince's words are true."
·
·
The case came to a deadlock.
Now, Zhan Zhao hasn't returned home yet, so he doesn't know if he has caught up with Bai Yutang or not.Hua Jiang has been missing again, no one knows if he is still alive.
Gongsun Ce had to follow the list given by Vice General Shi to search for the Nanfeng Hall where the three bullies had tortured, or the military camp one by one, trying to see if he could get any clues, but he found nothing.
Master Mei's injury was too serious, and without such sacred objects as Tuguo, it was impossible to immediately keep him awake.
Gong Jiu was at ease all of a sudden, and after sleeping for several hours in his own room, he couldn't fall asleep.
Gong Jiu looked out the window, it was still early morning, the sky was just getting bright.He simply got up and decided to bother the kind Taoist Mo.
However, it was empty.
Gong Jiu touched the fluff of the fur coat around his neck in wonder, the feel was really good: "Where did this go? Could it be that he went to teach that little troublemaker to breathe again?"
Tang Yuandao, who was still sleeping soundly in his own room, sneezed hard, rubbed his nose, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
The servant carrying firewood saw Gong Jiu, quickly saluted, and said, "Master Mo, he said he is going to practice martial arts."
Gong Jiuben was still a little unhappy, and suddenly became interested: "Xi Wu? Where is it?"
Servant: "I think the Taoist priest has gone to Xiliang River."
Xiliang River?
Gong Jiu was a little puzzled.Could it be that Ye Gucheng, the former lord of Baiyun City, went to practice swords in the water?
Oh, no, it's practicing whisk.
While rushing towards the Xiliang River with Qinggong, Gong Jiu had a wonderful idea: Maybe the Daoist priest wants to wet the whisk with water when he is practicing?No wonder he draws circles so round every time I see him, and I don't know how many Pisces symbols he has drawn in the water.
The Xiliang River is said to be a river, but it is actually not very long, it is more like a long strip-shaped lake.
It was the coldest time in Hexi at this time, and the river was covered with thick ice. Gong Jiu stepped on the ice all the way to the source, only to see her shirt off, sitting on a stone, soaking in the water mixed with ice edges The ink unicorn.
At first, Gong Jiu really thought that he was practicing kung fu, and happily tiptoed on the ice, and jumped to Mo Qi's side, only to find that Mo Qi's face was pale, and the thin pink lips that were originally indifferent were also a little stiff and purple.
The arc on Gong Jiu's mouth disappeared in an instant, and with force under his feet, he kicked a sharp ice edge in the water, and kicked it straight at Mo Qi, who had his eyes closed: "If you don't use your internal strength to soak in ice water, why, the Taoist priest?" Do you want to learn from me?"
Mo Qi raised his hand to block it, grabbed Bing Leng, and opened his eyes helplessly: "...It's just cultivating the mind."
Gong Jiu sneered again and again: "According to this, don't block the ice edge and let it poke a hole in you, isn't it better for cultivating your mind?"
Mo Qi stood up from the water, and the internal force suppressed by himself circulated throughout his body, gradually warming his pale skin back to a clear jade white.Water droplets left along the long hair tied into a ponytail, and formed a Wang Xianlu on the beautiful collarbone.
The rising sun in the east shrouded his tall figure with golden light, making this perfect body look like a god.
Mo Qi jumped onto a stone above the water, and the remaining ice water was evaporated by his internal force.He picked up the neatly folded clothes and put them on again: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
Mo Qi buttoned up the collar, looked up and realized that Gong Jiu had changed into a white fur coat.The fox-tail-like fur surrounded Gong Jiu's flawless face, making him look a bit more cold...
Mmm, fluffy.
Mo Qi himself wore this kind of clothes, and also saw Zhao Zhen wear them.However, Gong Jiu was wearing this outfit, which made Mo Qi think of those snow foxes in Huaxue Pond once again, who had extremely soft snow-white fur and were so fierce that no one would touch them.
They all have the same dark eyes, the same furry, and the same fierceness.
Hmm... There is another expression on my face that I am not happy, come and coax me.
The always expressionless Gong Jiu:? ?
Mo Qi, whose eyes seemed to be off somewhere, slowed down his voice: "Did you have your morning tea?"
Gong Jiu just looked at Mo Qi, very difficult to coax.
Mo Qi carried the fly whisk on the stone, turned around and flew up to the river bank, and walked to the city without thinking, "Do you want to eat wontons together?"
In Huaxuechi, that's how he seduced Xuehu who didn't want him to touch him.
Get close to them with food and flatter them with nice words, you won't be able to win the favor of these little ancestors.Only when you turn around and leave with the food, these little guys will quickly move their precious short legs, and anxiously pounce on your shoes, trying to get back the tribute that should belong to them.
Mo Qi took a few steps forward, pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
After a long time, there was a gentle sound of wind behind him.
Gong Jiu really followed up, and the voice was still not very happy - I don't know where Mo Qi heard it - and said coldly: "I want to eat Liangpi."
"Where is Liangpi in winter?"
"Humph."
"...If you can find it, you can fry it and eat it."
…………
The morning market in Hexi is still as lively as ever.Doesn't seem to be affected by General Mu's killing at all.
But they should also be happy.As soon as Bao Zheng heard the news of General Mu's death, he sent someone to pass the news to Bianjing. I believe that in a short while, that General Pang Da, who had only served his old father for a few years, would rush to Hexi angrily and take over again. this territory.
... It's just that Li Yuanhao may not be happy.
I don't know if General Pang, who has just returned to the capital and has been happy for a long time, will get angry and show his power because of Xixia's daring to bribe the mob and provoke war...
Gong Jiu went shopping all the way again, and Mo Qi was a little used to following behind Gong Jiu, picking out money for him and helping him get things.
It's not that Gong Jiu has no money, so he has to spend Mo Qi.The main reason is that at the level where Gong Jiu can't figure out the addition and subtraction of numbers within two digits, Mo Qi thinks it's more time-saving for him to pay the money.
After three times standing in front of the booth and arguing with the boss about how much money to change (mainly Gong Jiulao felt that the boss made a mistake), and after a long line of complaints lined up behind him, Mo Qi took it gently and could not refuse. Responsibility for payment of money.
When they finally found the only shop that was willing to make Liangpi, they found that Yelu Ruyu was also sitting in the shop, with a bowl of fried Liangpi in front of them.
Gong Jiu's face was suddenly as cold as ice in the Xiliang River.
How can I see this annoying guy everywhere!
The "disgusting" Yelu Ruyu was chatting with the proprietress: "...Family? I have it! I have children!"
He changed back to the big red robe that Mo Qi had lent him. He looked handsome and energetic, and the beauty spot on the center of his brow made the proprietress' heart drunk.
The proprietress smiled and wanted this son-in-law very much: "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just a daughter-in-law..."
Yelu Ruyu shook her head: "No, I've already promised her to be a couple for the rest of her life."
The proprietress clicked her tongue: "This... so overbearing."
Yelu Ruyu smiled softly: "It's not that she is overbearing, it's that in my eyes, there is no room for anyone else except her."
The proprietress couldn't help shaking her head: "You are so good-looking, your wife can fascinate you so much, isn't it a fairy descended from the sky?"
Yelu Ruyu was obviously pleased by the proprietress's words. After laughing a few times, she took out a gold ingot: "That's right, it's a fairy in the sky."
He turned his face quite happily, and happened to meet Gong Jiu's indifferent eyes without any friendly meaning.
Gong Jiu looked away in disgust, and said to the landlady who was shocked again, "Two bowls of wontons."
Mo Qi instinctively swallowed back the sentence "Didn't you still want to eat Liangpi just now?"
Gong Jiu ignored Yelu Ruyu, but it didn't mean Yelu Ruyu wouldn't come to him by himself.
"Why is the Seventh Prince here?" Mo Qi looked at the slightly bright sky, a little confused.
In the past, His Royal Highness, the prince, was not able to afford it every day.
Yelu Ruyu said ambiguously, "I'm here to meet someone, and I'll give him some help."
What he said was vague, and it was inconvenient for Mo Qi to ask more questions.
"Is it because I met the shadow man?" Gong Jiu looked at the wonton brought by the proprietress, and asked bluntly, "The matter of Hexi soil and fruit really has nothing to do with you?"
Mo Qi also cast his gaze silently.
Yelu Ruyu looked at Gong Jiu with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I'm not interested in that fruit. When I conquered Xixia, I didn't rely on such foreign things to achieve success again and again."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Gong Jiu and Yelu Ruyu didn't care about embarrassment, but Mo Qi, who was caught in the middle, always sat on pins and needles. In the end, he only ate half a bowl of wonton and lost his appetite.
After paying the money, Mo Qi turned around and said to Yelu Ruyu who was still sitting beside him, "We are going back to the manor, will the Seventh Prince go with us?"
According to past experience, even if Mo Qi doesn't say so, Yelu Ruyu will definitely follow.
But this time, Yelu Ruyu actually refused: "I still have to wait for someone, the Taoist priest should go first."
Mo Qi didn't say much, and after nodding, he hugged his things and left with Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu didn't eat the cold noodle that he had been thinking about so much, so he was not in a good mood.But fortunately, this meal of wontons can be regarded as eating with Mo Qi, so it is still acceptable.
He tilted his head, and was about to talk to Mo Qi again, when he saw Mo Qi frowning again: "What is the Taoist priest thinking?"
Mo Qi glanced at Gong Jiu from behind the pile of cakes: "I was wondering what the stone that Young Xia Bai meant."
Gong Jiu picked up a box of rock sugar cakes, took a bite out of them, and said casually, "What Zhan Zhao brought back were ordinary sand and stones. Something, or what shape did Bai Yutang, who can't speak, put the stones into. But at this time, those stones may have been trampled apart, and we can't prove it."
Mo Qi slowly stopped.
Gong Jiu chewed half of the ice sugar cake: "What?"
"If it's true as you said, Shaoxia Zhan will definitely be able to see it." Mo Qi pondered, "Or...the stone refers to a special stone, so special that it is the key to finding the shadow man. "
Gong Jiu followed behind Mo Qi in a daze, and hurried back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Mo Qi came to Master Mei's bedroom, and found Gongsun Ce who was changing the dressing beside Master Mei's bed: "Mr. Gongsun."
Gongsun Ce was also taken aback by Mo Qi's rare hurried appearance, thinking that something serious happened again, and immediately stood up from the bed: "What happened?!"
Mo Qi realized that he was in a hurry and seemed to be sending a wrong signal to Gongsun Ce, so he lowered his voice and said, "No, I just remembered one thing—Mr. Have you ever read a description similar to Tuguo in the book?"
Gongsun Ce nodded: "That's right."
Mo Qi: "In that book, did it also say that this kind of fruit depends on a special ore to grow, and if it leaves the ore vein, it will wither and die?"
This kind of fruit is not as rare as soil fruit. Most of them can only grow near the veins because the ore contains the nutrients necessary for their growth.
"Special ore..." Gongsun Ce repeated slowly, lost in memory, and after a while, his eyes lit up, "Ah! I remembered!"
Gongsun Ce immediately went to his own room: "When I was reading "Qi Wen Miao Yao Ji", I read about this kind of fruit, but it is not called 'soil fruit', but 'milk fruit'."
Milk fruit, it sounds like it is more suitable for the effect of this fruit.
Gongsun Ce ran into his bedroom and rummaged for a while, and pulled out a thin booklet from the medical books he brought with him in a big box: "The medicines mentioned in this book are very strange, I have never seen them. However, it has always been read as a script.”
As a storybook, the most you can do is read the story, and naturally you won't remember it as clearly as the medical classics.
Mo Qi took the "Book of Wonderful Medicine" handed by Gongsun Ce, looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the description of milk fruit.
"'The color is blue and purple, it was born on the poisonous mine, and it cannot be separated. Its fruit has magical effects, but only the locals know it, and the rest snatch it and take it, and they all give birth to breast milk and bloated stomachs...'" Gongsun Ce's voice could not help but Raised a little, "That's it!"
He paced back and forth in the wing room with unconcealed excitement, and after a while, he clapped his hands suddenly: "That's how it is!"
Gongsun Ce, who had just run all the way back to his room, hurried back to Master Mei's room.
Passing attendants cast surprised glances at the three running around.
Gongsun Ce walked into the study room: "I didn't find the clue to the soil fruit discovered by Master Mei at that time, because what he found was not the clue to the soil fruit, but the clue to those poisonous mines!"
Gongsun Ce took out a local chronicle that Master Mei put on the outermost shelf: "This book records the locations of all the mineral veins discovered in Hexi."
Gongsun Ce rummaged through them one by one: "...Look at this one!"
"'The color is blue and purple, and it can only be found in the dense forests in the west of the river. This mine corrodes the soil and contains toxins. The streams passing by are stained with it. The water is light purple. It is inedible and cannot be used to irrigate the farmland. It should be avoided.'" Gongsun Ce said happily He patted the location marked in the picture, "This is it!"
"According to Master Mei's footsteps, the farthest distance he can reach in one day is about this range." Gongsun Ce made a rough calculation, drew a circle in the picture, and marked the ore points in the picture emphatically After a while, "There are only three such mines within this range."
Gongsun Ce: "I'll tell Mr. Bao right away, and then call Zhan Zhao back. When everyone is here, we'll set off immediately!"
·
·
When Zhan Zhao was called back by the fireworks, he was very depressed: "I can't catch up with Yutang's qinggong now."
"It's caused by the medicine given by the shadow man. Your internal strength has soared. Naturally, you can't catch up." Mo Qi said.
Zhan Zhao didn't care about whether the medicine would increase his power or not, he only cared about Bai Yutang: "Will there be any side effects?"
Mo Qi nodded: "Of course there are."
There is no such thing as a free dinner in the world.
Mo Qi: "The medicine can greatly stimulate the strength of the person taking it, but it is exhausting the body. Originally aware of discomfort, the person taking the medicine should pay attention to it, but the medicine has the effect of controlling the mind. Therefore, it can damage the body of the person who takes the drug without knowing it.”
People who take the medicine don't feel any pain in their body, so naturally they don't notice that their body is damaged.
Zhan Zhao asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Mo Qi pursed his lips: "It turned out that Xue Xiaoren broke through the control of the medicine on his mind when he remembered the past. After that, the effect of the medicine was naturally released."
But Bai Yutang, no one wanted him to repeat the same mistakes and the pain of death.But if this is the case, he will never be able to get rid of the drug's control over him.
Gongsun Ce came out to smooth things over: "This is all for later, let's find Young Master Bai first."
·
·
There are only three small veins that meet the conditions on the map, but they are all scattered and far apart from each other.After everyone rushed to nothing twice, they finally found a clue in the last mine.
Mo Qi squatted down, and carefully looked at the ashes pile with several unburned bones: "This is probably left by the shadow man."
He stood up and looked around the haystacks of thatched huts that had been burned: "It seems that this is the former residence of the Tuguo people."
"It should be the corpse of the shadow man who was poisoned to death." Gongsun Ce fiddled with the branches, looking carefully at the corpse with a trace of blue and purple.
"What about Yutang? Didn't you say that the shadow man is here?" Zhan Zhao asked anxiously.
Gong Jiu stood far away, so as not to get those disgusting ashes on his white clothes: "It's not here, but it must be near the mine. It seems that Master Mei was found because of bad luck, and he was returned to his former residence to burn the evidence. People happened to meet, not found the residence of the shadow people."
Mo Qi walked around the periphery of the huts and found a large sunken ravine.Because of being burned, the vegetation that originally covered the place was burnt to black ashes, which happened to expose the place.
In the gully, there were many purple ores scattered, but they were all burnt and turned into charred black.
"They burned all the milk fruits here?" Gongsun Ce walked around the ravine several times, but didn't see a single milk fruit.
Not to mention the milk fruit, even the grass has been burnt to the point that not a single one can be seen.
"But they are still in Hexi, so they definitely haven't given up the milk fruit." Gong Jiu closed the fan in his hand and said firmly.
Zhan Zhao concentrated his mind and calmed down: "...Wait, if they didn't give up, but still burned the milk fruit here, does it mean that they have found a better place to grow milk fruit?" Zhao almost jumped up to Gongsun Ce, "Mr. Gongsun, where is the place with the widest and densest distribution of such mines in Hexi?"
Gongsun Ce took out the local chronicles and looked at it carefully: "—on the opposite side of the Xiliang River, in the dense forest adjacent to Xixia, there is a place."
…………
After the Hexi Army retreated to the right bank of the Xiliang River, almost no one would go for a stroll on the left bank of the Xiliang River.After all, the Xixia people were closer there. If they were really caught, the Hexi army would have to shoot with all their arrows, and it would be impossible to save them.
After all, it is a place where the military strategy is important, where both Xixia and Song Dynasty are staring at it with staring eyes. If you have nothing to do, you still love to run to this border. What is your intention? Wouldn't you deserve it if you died?
Bao Zheng and others crossed the river, followed the guidance of the map in the local chronicles, and found the dense forest.
After entering the dense forest, not long after walking, Mo Qi suddenly stretched out his arms and stopped everyone: "Don't move."
After stopping everyone in place, he jumped up to the top of the forest alone, lowered his body, and approached the forest under the cover of lush leaves.
After several silent ups and downs, Mo Qi stopped on a pine tree.
In front of him, not far away.
The dense forest was cut down to create a vast open space, on which clusters of huts were built with wood, and nearly a hundred shadow men were silently shuttling between the huts and the huge ravine behind the houses, basket after basket of blue-purple breast milk. The fruit is transported to what is roughly a warehouse for storage.
Wooden huts, ravines, and guarded towers all have the shape of a city.
"Chong!"
Without looking back, Mo Qi held Fu Chen with his backhand and swung it to the right, and the tail of dust wrapped around the steel knife that was coming towards his neck.
The powerful internal forces of the two collided, knocking down a pine tree around them instantly.
The white figure flew back along the momentum, and landed lightly like a snowflake on the treetop opposite Mo Qi.
Mo Qi saw the other party's attire clearly: "Bai Yutang!"
Among the shadow people, Bai Yutang is probably the only one who still wears white clothes in his own way.
Bai Yutang's current state looks very abnormal.
When we met each other in the magistrate's office, the other party looked quite calm, although his face was a little impatient, but at least he was not as irritable as he is now, with blood red eyes and white hair.
The originally completely black eyes were already extremely terrifying like a black hole, but now the blood-red eyes set off the snow-white hair of Bai Yutang who was blown by the wind and stirred by internal force, making it even more treacherous and lifeless. people.
He didn't give Mo Qi any time to speak again, he wiped the wide-mouthed steel knife with his left hand, the blade was trembling and humming due to the concentrated internal force, then he opened and closed his hand wide and struck with the knife.
Holding the whisk in his hand, Mo Qi raised his hand to block it, and the pine tree under his feet was immediately knocked down by the force of the knife.
Mo Qi spun around and swung the whisk, skillfully relieved the remaining force of the knife wind, his heart tightened.
Bai Yutang's current internal strength is actually comparable to his!
Before he could think about the countermeasures, Bai Yutang was already standing on the top of the pine tree, his white sleeves fluttering, and he stabbed three times in a row, coming awe-inspiringly.
In the wooden city, nearly a hundred pairs of black hole-like eyes were all looking in the direction of Mo Qi.
·
·
Hexi Prison.
Deputy General Shi was slumped on the straw bed, worrying whether he really would die this time.
He rubbed the grass clippings on his hands a little regretfully, feeling that he really shouldn't be frightened by Prince Taiping's words so casually, so he was so frightened that he said everything like a bamboo tube.
He is now in the prison in Hexi, and all the patrolling around here are Hexi Army.
Could it be that the murderer could enter and exit the Hexi Prison at will under the eyes of the Hexi Army?
The night gradually enveloped Hexi.
Deputy General Shi turned over, turned his back to the candlelight behind him, and planned to doze off first.
A black figure was reflected on the wall in front of him.
Deputy General Shi froze in horror.Cold sweat instantly wet the back of the clothes.
He turned around stiffly, and saw a blue-purple face looking at him with a cold smile.
"you--"
"!!!"
Outside the cell, foul-smelling blood spilled out treacherous traces on the ground.
·
·
Nearly a hundred shadow people rushed forward.
Swords, lights, swords and arrows, locusts and arrows in their stone sleeves all rushed towards Mo Qi and Bai Yutang who were fighting.
As if completely enraged, Bai Yutang let out a wild howl, and his voice was heard for hundreds of miles. His inner strength shook away all the outsiders who wanted to interfere. With a turn of the steel knife, his inner strength suddenly increased by a few percent. He slashed at Mo Qi recklessly.
Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao finally couldn't hold back when they heard such a big commotion, and asked Bao Zheng and others to take the team out of the dense forest. The two hurried over to help, and happened to see those shadow men, and Bai Yutang They all look like they want to kill.
Without saying a word, Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao immediately threw themselves into the battlefield.
Bai Yutang's condition was not right, and Zhan Zhao discovered it immediately.
Mo Qi was able to sustain the attack of nearly a hundred people before they arrived, it was entirely because of Bai Yutang's craziness to fight everyone, and even seriously injured many shadow people.
Zhan Zhao wanted to change opponents with Mo Qi, but seeing that Mo Qi had to go all out in order to be able to compete with Bai Yutang on equal terms, he should go obediently and go with Gong Jiu to deal with the other shadow people first.
The martial arts of Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao can be said to be the best of the younger generation.However, facing the attacks of nearly a hundred opponents, as well as hidden weapons, he was also overwhelmed.
The most important thing is that these shadow people have stayed here for several days and know the terrain better than them.After several battles, Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao suddenly discovered that they were led into the ravine by shadow people.
The gully was full of milk fruit plants that had begun to bear fruit. After some fighting, bruise juice splashed all over Gong Jiu's white clothes, and Zhan Zhao's red clothes were also dyed dark blue.
During the fight, Gong Jiu raised his head inadvertently, looked out of the gully, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Organ!"
Dozens of heavy crossbows aimed at the ravine, ready to go.
However, it was too late for the two of them to dodge. Those shadow people dragging them in the gully seemed not afraid of death. let them go.
A group of ten bows and arrows, dozens of heavy crossbows, fired in unison, piercing towards the people in the ravine.
Red coat.
Juque.
Bronze Arrow.
through the heart.
Fragmentary fragments flashed through Bai Yutang's brain, causing a sharp pain in his head, he staggered to the side, stepped on a tree branch, stumbled and fell.
Before he could react, his body moved instinctively.
Bai Yutang stared at the dazzling red shadow in the ravine, completely ignoring Mo Qi's whisk, shouldering the blow of dust on his shoulders, using his strength to fall into the ravine, knocking the giant bird in red The boy fell to the ground.
Mo Qi hurriedly chased after him, pressed his palm on Bai Yutang's back, and channeled his internal energy.
The invisible inner strength surged from Bai Yutang's body like a giant bell being struck in an ancient temple, and with his roar, most of the bows and arrows were shot down.Gong Jiu and Mo Qi teamed up to break the rest of the bows and arrows, either by throwing the dust or by raising a fan.
Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, looking at the handsome man protecting him: "Yutang!"
Bai Yutang let out a long whistle, exhausted himself immediately, and fell headlong.
Mo Qi and Gong Jiu didn't have time to rest. Behind them were Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but in front of them were those shadow people who were still entangled.After the two swept the bow and arrow away, they immediately turned around, with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang as the center to block the swords, lights and swords that kept rushing towards them.The cyan fruit was trampled into mud by the people fighting fiercely in the ravine. The cyan juice splashed with the footsteps and stained the hem of the clothes, exuding a fishy and sweet smell.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Mo Qi and Gong Jiu gratefully, then hurriedly lowered his head, turned over Bai Yutang who was face down into his arms, and saw the other party's frown in extreme pain.
The bluish-black blood on Bai Yutang's face became denser and more terrifying.
This is different from what the Taoist priest said, when the memory medicine is awakened, it will be self-resolved!
Zhan Zhao helplessly brushed away Bai Yutang's hair that had slipped between his full lips, and looked anxiously at the black blood that seemed to be surging on the other's face.
He didn't dare to lift Bai Yutang's eyes at this time to make sure that the other party really remembered.
After all, Bai Yutang was hard-pressed to bear the blow of Daoist Mo, so he insisted on coming to rescue him!If Bai Yutang couldn't remember his memory and fell into a frenzy, how could he do such a desperate thing and sacrifice his life to save him?
Mo Qi hastily dodged a long sword that was stabbing at him obliquely: "Don't kill people, capture them alive!"
Gong Jiu didn't answer in silence, but the moves in his hands took off a little bit of internal strength.
After the last shadow man was stunned by them, Mo Qi just flew into the ravine: "How is Young Xia Bai?"
Zhan Zhao's flustered eyes were messed up, and when he heard Mo Qi's question, he raised his head anxiously: "He—why isn't he awake? Why are there more and more bloodshots on his face?!"
Ju Que was put aside by him, and now Zhan Zhao hugged Bai Yutang tightly, as if holding him could help share Bai Yutang's pain at this time.
Mo Qi knelt down halfway, and stretched out his hand to catch Bai Yutang's pulse: "...he has hidden wounds on his body. Although this medicine has saved him, those dark wounds have not been completely healed..." Mo Qi raised his hand, and said in Zhan Zhao He touched the back of Bai Yutang's head under his gaze, and found a depression, "The back of his head was also seriously injured..."
Zhan Zhao asked urgently: "Then he can still wake up, can he be cured?!"
Mo Qi nodded in Zhan Zhao's eyes as if he was looking at the last straw, and then shook his head: "He can wake up, and the hidden wounds on his body can also be cured. As long as the dark wounds are cured, these bloodshots will naturally disappear .But...his memory may not be able to be retrieved completely. And he needs to pay attention to it on weekdays, he may easily feel irritable, and it is difficult to suppress the violent fluctuations of emotions. "
After all, Bai Yutang's memory probably didn't disappear because of the effect of the medicine, but before he was given the medicine, it disappeared because of a serious injury to the back of his head.
The fact that Bai Yutang was so irritable was also caused by this serious injury to the back of his head.
"I will pay attention." Zhan Zhao just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of a new question: "Then can he still talk?"
The only sound Bai Yutang made just now was a long whistling sound, without saying a single word.
Mo Qi raised his hand to pinch Bai Yutang's mouth open, and checked it out: "It's okay, the vocal cords are a bit damaged, and it can be cured, but maybe the voice will become hoarse in the future."
"That's okay, that's okay..." Zhan Zhao said several times in a row while still in shock, before he slightly relaxed his tense body.
He lowered his head and stared at Bai Yutang who was unconscious in his arms with his eyes closed, and couldn't help touching Bai Yutang's cheek with trembling hands.
lukewarm.real.
To Zhan Zhao, it doesn't matter what memory, temper tantrum, or voice is hoarse.
As long as Bai Yutang is around, it will be fine.
If Yutang wants to regain his memory, he can tell Yutang sentence by sentence, and he will definitely spend time with Yutang in the future; if Yutang is easy to get angry, then he will be angry!Even if he gets angry, Yutang must be extremely handsome.If Yutang wanted to make his voice not hoarse——
... Yutang doesn't care if his voice is hoarse or not. When we first met, Yutang talked in a low voice every day in order to increase his momentum!It made him unconvinced, and he talked in a choked voice those few days, making Mr. Gongsun think he was caught cold.
With a red nose and red eyes, Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang in his arms and thought about it sourly but firmly. He remembered the funny and stupid things Bai Yutang and himself did together when they were young. a joy.
Zhan Zhao was having fun, the tears that had been suffocating in his eyes just fell down
Bao Zheng said calmly, "How do you say that?"
Deputy General Shi has pretty much said what should be said and what should not be said.It's all up to this point, and I don't care to say more.As soon as Bao Zheng asked, he immediately said: "Of course it is impossible for the young man to have the ability to enter and leave the prefect's office and the military camp at will. But Master Mei is different! The prefect's office is his territory, and there is also the military camp. Tao Zhifu He is also brought here from time to time, and sometimes he is also called for arraignment."
Gongsun Ce said angrily: "Don't gossip, Master Mei, General Mu and you, what hatred can there be? Could it be that you have attacked him?"
Deputy General Shi rolled his lips: "We don't, but who knows if Tao Zhifu has one? Besides, every time we go to the Nanfeng Pavilion and have fun in the barracks, Tao Zhifu always forces Mr. Mei to stay and watch , Mr. Mei’s expression is so disgusting every time, maybe he just can’t bear it anymore and wants to do something?” He slapped his thigh, “Oh! When General Mu didn’t know it at first, he once tried to force Mr. Mei! "
When he said this, not only was he not ashamed, but there was even a hint of complacency in his expression.It seems that it is such a remarkable and majestic thing to humiliate others at will.
Bao Zheng frowned in disgust, then turned his head and whispered to Gongsun Ce: "Where is the soldier that Vice General He sent to deliver the order when I last saw Hua Jiang?"
Gongsun Ce: "After the questioning, he has been sent back to the barracks. He said that he entered the tent to give orders to General Mu when General Hua left to pour water, and he had never seen anyone else enter the barracks...so , the murderer did not attack General Mu until after he gave the order."
Bao Zheng took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Deputy General Yan Shi, and didn't ask any more questions.
He stood up, making the Hexi army look up to this guy, and he left with his people.
Mo Qi asked Bao Zheng: "What does Prime Minister Bao think?"
Bao Zheng shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. It may be possible that Master Mei is the murderer. After all, this murderer kills, and he kills all villains for the good of Hexi. The actions of the shadow people in the corpse are not contradictory. It's just that... he probably didn't expect that there are many shadow people, and they are all masters of martial arts. After he met these shadow people, not only failed to catch them, but was caught by the shadow people. People use 'the way of the person to treat the person's body' to kill and silence, and frame it by the way."
Gong Jiu suddenly turned his eyes: "Wait? The shadow man?" He suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Yelu Ruyu who was watching from the sidelines, "This time, the Tuguo may be related to the Seventh Prince again. Bar?"
Previously, the dark green jade was a collaboration between Yelu Ruyu and the shadow man, but this time Yelu Ruyu followed him all the way from Bianjing, not to mention, there is really such a possibility.
Yelu Ruyu showed an innocent expression: "Of course not, I don't want to use such weird things on my Daliao soldiers."
He didn't say that he didn't know Tuguo at all, if he really said that, it would be too fake.Bao Zheng didn't believe that Yelu Ruyu really came all the way to Song Dynasty without bringing anyone with him.Even if he really didn't bring anyone with him, it only means that he has already planted a nail in Da Song.
Gong Jiu looked at Yelu Ruyu suspiciously.
Yelu Ruyu's words seemed to be true, but no one could be sure whether what he said was true.But he happened to be the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and the seventh prince of the Liao Kingdom. Without direct evidence, he was not allowed to touch him at will.
Bao Zheng took a serious look at Yelu Ruyu: "I hope the Seventh Prince's words are true."
·
·
The case came to a deadlock.
Now, Zhan Zhao hasn't returned home yet, so he doesn't know if he has caught up with Bai Yutang or not.Hua Jiang has been missing again, no one knows if he is still alive.
Gongsun Ce had to follow the list given by Vice General Shi to search for the Nanfeng Hall where the three bullies had tortured, or the military camp one by one, trying to see if he could get any clues, but he found nothing.
Master Mei's injury was too serious, and without such sacred objects as Tuguo, it was impossible to immediately keep him awake.
Gong Jiu was at ease all of a sudden, and after sleeping for several hours in his own room, he couldn't fall asleep.
Gong Jiu looked out the window, it was still early morning, the sky was just getting bright.He simply got up and decided to bother the kind Taoist Mo.
However, it was empty.
Gong Jiu touched the fluff of the fur coat around his neck in wonder, the feel was really good: "Where did this go? Could it be that he went to teach that little troublemaker to breathe again?"
Tang Yuandao, who was still sleeping soundly in his own room, sneezed hard, rubbed his nose, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
The servant carrying firewood saw Gong Jiu, quickly saluted, and said, "Master Mo, he said he is going to practice martial arts."
Gong Jiuben was still a little unhappy, and suddenly became interested: "Xi Wu? Where is it?"
Servant: "I think the Taoist priest has gone to Xiliang River."
Xiliang River?
Gong Jiu was a little puzzled.Could it be that Ye Gucheng, the former lord of Baiyun City, went to practice swords in the water?
Oh, no, it's practicing whisk.
While rushing towards the Xiliang River with Qinggong, Gong Jiu had a wonderful idea: Maybe the Daoist priest wants to wet the whisk with water when he is practicing?No wonder he draws circles so round every time I see him, and I don't know how many Pisces symbols he has drawn in the water.
The Xiliang River is said to be a river, but it is actually not very long, it is more like a long strip-shaped lake.
It was the coldest time in Hexi at this time, and the river was covered with thick ice. Gong Jiu stepped on the ice all the way to the source, only to see her shirt off, sitting on a stone, soaking in the water mixed with ice edges The ink unicorn.
At first, Gong Jiu really thought that he was practicing kung fu, and happily tiptoed on the ice, and jumped to Mo Qi's side, only to find that Mo Qi's face was pale, and the thin pink lips that were originally indifferent were also a little stiff and purple.
The arc on Gong Jiu's mouth disappeared in an instant, and with force under his feet, he kicked a sharp ice edge in the water, and kicked it straight at Mo Qi, who had his eyes closed: "If you don't use your internal strength to soak in ice water, why, the Taoist priest?" Do you want to learn from me?"
Mo Qi raised his hand to block it, grabbed Bing Leng, and opened his eyes helplessly: "...It's just cultivating the mind."
Gong Jiu sneered again and again: "According to this, don't block the ice edge and let it poke a hole in you, isn't it better for cultivating your mind?"
Mo Qi stood up from the water, and the internal force suppressed by himself circulated throughout his body, gradually warming his pale skin back to a clear jade white.Water droplets left along the long hair tied into a ponytail, and formed a Wang Xianlu on the beautiful collarbone.
The rising sun in the east shrouded his tall figure with golden light, making this perfect body look like a god.
Mo Qi jumped onto a stone above the water, and the remaining ice water was evaporated by his internal force.He picked up the neatly folded clothes and put them on again: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
Mo Qi buttoned up the collar, looked up and realized that Gong Jiu had changed into a white fur coat.The fox-tail-like fur surrounded Gong Jiu's flawless face, making him look a bit more cold...
Mmm, fluffy.
Mo Qi himself wore this kind of clothes, and also saw Zhao Zhen wear them.However, Gong Jiu was wearing this outfit, which made Mo Qi think of those snow foxes in Huaxue Pond once again, who had extremely soft snow-white fur and were so fierce that no one would touch them.
They all have the same dark eyes, the same furry, and the same fierceness.
Hmm... There is another expression on my face that I am not happy, come and coax me.
The always expressionless Gong Jiu:? ?
Mo Qi, whose eyes seemed to be off somewhere, slowed down his voice: "Did you have your morning tea?"
Gong Jiu just looked at Mo Qi, very difficult to coax.
Mo Qi carried the fly whisk on the stone, turned around and flew up to the river bank, and walked to the city without thinking, "Do you want to eat wontons together?"
In Huaxuechi, that's how he seduced Xuehu who didn't want him to touch him.
Get close to them with food and flatter them with nice words, you won't be able to win the favor of these little ancestors.Only when you turn around and leave with the food, these little guys will quickly move their precious short legs, and anxiously pounce on your shoes, trying to get back the tribute that should belong to them.
Mo Qi took a few steps forward, pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
After a long time, there was a gentle sound of wind behind him.
Gong Jiu really followed up, and the voice was still not very happy - I don't know where Mo Qi heard it - and said coldly: "I want to eat Liangpi."
"Where is Liangpi in winter?"
"Humph."
"...If you can find it, you can fry it and eat it."
…………
The morning market in Hexi is still as lively as ever.Doesn't seem to be affected by General Mu's killing at all.
But they should also be happy.As soon as Bao Zheng heard the news of General Mu's death, he sent someone to pass the news to Bianjing. I believe that in a short while, that General Pang Da, who had only served his old father for a few years, would rush to Hexi angrily and take over again. this territory.
... It's just that Li Yuanhao may not be happy.
I don't know if General Pang, who has just returned to the capital and has been happy for a long time, will get angry and show his power because of Xixia's daring to bribe the mob and provoke war...
Gong Jiu went shopping all the way again, and Mo Qi was a little used to following behind Gong Jiu, picking out money for him and helping him get things.
It's not that Gong Jiu has no money, so he has to spend Mo Qi.The main reason is that at the level where Gong Jiu can't figure out the addition and subtraction of numbers within two digits, Mo Qi thinks it's more time-saving for him to pay the money.
After three times standing in front of the booth and arguing with the boss about how much money to change (mainly Gong Jiulao felt that the boss made a mistake), and after a long line of complaints lined up behind him, Mo Qi took it gently and could not refuse. Responsibility for payment of money.
When they finally found the only shop that was willing to make Liangpi, they found that Yelu Ruyu was also sitting in the shop, with a bowl of fried Liangpi in front of them.
Gong Jiu's face was suddenly as cold as ice in the Xiliang River.
How can I see this annoying guy everywhere!
The "disgusting" Yelu Ruyu was chatting with the proprietress: "...Family? I have it! I have children!"
He changed back to the big red robe that Mo Qi had lent him. He looked handsome and energetic, and the beauty spot on the center of his brow made the proprietress' heart drunk.
The proprietress smiled and wanted this son-in-law very much: "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just a daughter-in-law..."
Yelu Ruyu shook her head: "No, I've already promised her to be a couple for the rest of her life."
The proprietress clicked her tongue: "This... so overbearing."
Yelu Ruyu smiled softly: "It's not that she is overbearing, it's that in my eyes, there is no room for anyone else except her."
The proprietress couldn't help shaking her head: "You are so good-looking, your wife can fascinate you so much, isn't it a fairy descended from the sky?"
Yelu Ruyu was obviously pleased by the proprietress's words. After laughing a few times, she took out a gold ingot: "That's right, it's a fairy in the sky."
He turned his face quite happily, and happened to meet Gong Jiu's indifferent eyes without any friendly meaning.
Gong Jiu looked away in disgust, and said to the landlady who was shocked again, "Two bowls of wontons."
Mo Qi instinctively swallowed back the sentence "Didn't you still want to eat Liangpi just now?"
Gong Jiu ignored Yelu Ruyu, but it didn't mean Yelu Ruyu wouldn't come to him by himself.
"Why is the Seventh Prince here?" Mo Qi looked at the slightly bright sky, a little confused.
In the past, His Royal Highness, the prince, was not able to afford it every day.
Yelu Ruyu said ambiguously, "I'm here to meet someone, and I'll give him some help."
What he said was vague, and it was inconvenient for Mo Qi to ask more questions.
"Is it because I met the shadow man?" Gong Jiu looked at the wonton brought by the proprietress, and asked bluntly, "The matter of Hexi soil and fruit really has nothing to do with you?"
Mo Qi also cast his gaze silently.
Yelu Ruyu looked at Gong Jiu with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I'm not interested in that fruit. When I conquered Xixia, I didn't rely on such foreign things to achieve success again and again."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Gong Jiu and Yelu Ruyu didn't care about embarrassment, but Mo Qi, who was caught in the middle, always sat on pins and needles. In the end, he only ate half a bowl of wonton and lost his appetite.
After paying the money, Mo Qi turned around and said to Yelu Ruyu who was still sitting beside him, "We are going back to the manor, will the Seventh Prince go with us?"
According to past experience, even if Mo Qi doesn't say so, Yelu Ruyu will definitely follow.
But this time, Yelu Ruyu actually refused: "I still have to wait for someone, the Taoist priest should go first."
Mo Qi didn't say much, and after nodding, he hugged his things and left with Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu didn't eat the cold noodle that he had been thinking about so much, so he was not in a good mood.But fortunately, this meal of wontons can be regarded as eating with Mo Qi, so it is still acceptable.
He tilted his head, and was about to talk to Mo Qi again, when he saw Mo Qi frowning again: "What is the Taoist priest thinking?"
Mo Qi glanced at Gong Jiu from behind the pile of cakes: "I was wondering what the stone that Young Xia Bai meant."
Gong Jiu picked up a box of rock sugar cakes, took a bite out of them, and said casually, "What Zhan Zhao brought back were ordinary sand and stones. Something, or what shape did Bai Yutang, who can't speak, put the stones into. But at this time, those stones may have been trampled apart, and we can't prove it."
Mo Qi slowly stopped.
Gong Jiu chewed half of the ice sugar cake: "What?"
"If it's true as you said, Shaoxia Zhan will definitely be able to see it." Mo Qi pondered, "Or...the stone refers to a special stone, so special that it is the key to finding the shadow man. "
Gong Jiu followed behind Mo Qi in a daze, and hurried back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Mo Qi came to Master Mei's bedroom, and found Gongsun Ce who was changing the dressing beside Master Mei's bed: "Mr. Gongsun."
Gongsun Ce was also taken aback by Mo Qi's rare hurried appearance, thinking that something serious happened again, and immediately stood up from the bed: "What happened?!"
Mo Qi realized that he was in a hurry and seemed to be sending a wrong signal to Gongsun Ce, so he lowered his voice and said, "No, I just remembered one thing—Mr. Have you ever read a description similar to Tuguo in the book?"
Gongsun Ce nodded: "That's right."
Mo Qi: "In that book, did it also say that this kind of fruit depends on a special ore to grow, and if it leaves the ore vein, it will wither and die?"
This kind of fruit is not as rare as soil fruit. Most of them can only grow near the veins because the ore contains the nutrients necessary for their growth.
"Special ore..." Gongsun Ce repeated slowly, lost in memory, and after a while, his eyes lit up, "Ah! I remembered!"
Gongsun Ce immediately went to his own room: "When I was reading "Qi Wen Miao Yao Ji", I read about this kind of fruit, but it is not called 'soil fruit', but 'milk fruit'."
Milk fruit, it sounds like it is more suitable for the effect of this fruit.
Gongsun Ce ran into his bedroom and rummaged for a while, and pulled out a thin booklet from the medical books he brought with him in a big box: "The medicines mentioned in this book are very strange, I have never seen them. However, it has always been read as a script.”
As a storybook, the most you can do is read the story, and naturally you won't remember it as clearly as the medical classics.
Mo Qi took the "Book of Wonderful Medicine" handed by Gongsun Ce, looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the description of milk fruit.
"'The color is blue and purple, it was born on the poisonous mine, and it cannot be separated. Its fruit has magical effects, but only the locals know it, and the rest snatch it and take it, and they all give birth to breast milk and bloated stomachs...'" Gongsun Ce's voice could not help but Raised a little, "That's it!"
He paced back and forth in the wing room with unconcealed excitement, and after a while, he clapped his hands suddenly: "That's how it is!"
Gongsun Ce, who had just run all the way back to his room, hurried back to Master Mei's room.
Passing attendants cast surprised glances at the three running around.
Gongsun Ce walked into the study room: "I didn't find the clue to the soil fruit discovered by Master Mei at that time, because what he found was not the clue to the soil fruit, but the clue to those poisonous mines!"
Gongsun Ce took out a local chronicle that Master Mei put on the outermost shelf: "This book records the locations of all the mineral veins discovered in Hexi."
Gongsun Ce rummaged through them one by one: "...Look at this one!"
"'The color is blue and purple, and it can only be found in the dense forests in the west of the river. This mine corrodes the soil and contains toxins. The streams passing by are stained with it. The water is light purple. It is inedible and cannot be used to irrigate the farmland. It should be avoided.'" Gongsun Ce said happily He patted the location marked in the picture, "This is it!"
"According to Master Mei's footsteps, the farthest distance he can reach in one day is about this range." Gongsun Ce made a rough calculation, drew a circle in the picture, and marked the ore points in the picture emphatically After a while, "There are only three such mines within this range."
Gongsun Ce: "I'll tell Mr. Bao right away, and then call Zhan Zhao back. When everyone is here, we'll set off immediately!"
·
·
When Zhan Zhao was called back by the fireworks, he was very depressed: "I can't catch up with Yutang's qinggong now."
"It's caused by the medicine given by the shadow man. Your internal strength has soared. Naturally, you can't catch up." Mo Qi said.
Zhan Zhao didn't care about whether the medicine would increase his power or not, he only cared about Bai Yutang: "Will there be any side effects?"
Mo Qi nodded: "Of course there are."
There is no such thing as a free dinner in the world.
Mo Qi: "The medicine can greatly stimulate the strength of the person taking it, but it is exhausting the body. Originally aware of discomfort, the person taking the medicine should pay attention to it, but the medicine has the effect of controlling the mind. Therefore, it can damage the body of the person who takes the drug without knowing it.”
People who take the medicine don't feel any pain in their body, so naturally they don't notice that their body is damaged.
Zhan Zhao asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Mo Qi pursed his lips: "It turned out that Xue Xiaoren broke through the control of the medicine on his mind when he remembered the past. After that, the effect of the medicine was naturally released."
But Bai Yutang, no one wanted him to repeat the same mistakes and the pain of death.But if this is the case, he will never be able to get rid of the drug's control over him.
Gongsun Ce came out to smooth things over: "This is all for later, let's find Young Master Bai first."
·
·
There are only three small veins that meet the conditions on the map, but they are all scattered and far apart from each other.After everyone rushed to nothing twice, they finally found a clue in the last mine.
Mo Qi squatted down, and carefully looked at the ashes pile with several unburned bones: "This is probably left by the shadow man."
He stood up and looked around the haystacks of thatched huts that had been burned: "It seems that this is the former residence of the Tuguo people."
"It should be the corpse of the shadow man who was poisoned to death." Gongsun Ce fiddled with the branches, looking carefully at the corpse with a trace of blue and purple.
"What about Yutang? Didn't you say that the shadow man is here?" Zhan Zhao asked anxiously.
Gong Jiu stood far away, so as not to get those disgusting ashes on his white clothes: "It's not here, but it must be near the mine. It seems that Master Mei was found because of bad luck, and he was returned to his former residence to burn the evidence. People happened to meet, not found the residence of the shadow people."
Mo Qi walked around the periphery of the huts and found a large sunken ravine.Because of being burned, the vegetation that originally covered the place was burnt to black ashes, which happened to expose the place.
In the gully, there were many purple ores scattered, but they were all burnt and turned into charred black.
"They burned all the milk fruits here?" Gongsun Ce walked around the ravine several times, but didn't see a single milk fruit.
Not to mention the milk fruit, even the grass has been burnt to the point that not a single one can be seen.
"But they are still in Hexi, so they definitely haven't given up the milk fruit." Gong Jiu closed the fan in his hand and said firmly.
Zhan Zhao concentrated his mind and calmed down: "...Wait, if they didn't give up, but still burned the milk fruit here, does it mean that they have found a better place to grow milk fruit?" Zhao almost jumped up to Gongsun Ce, "Mr. Gongsun, where is the place with the widest and densest distribution of such mines in Hexi?"
Gongsun Ce took out the local chronicles and looked at it carefully: "—on the opposite side of the Xiliang River, in the dense forest adjacent to Xixia, there is a place."
…………
After the Hexi Army retreated to the right bank of the Xiliang River, almost no one would go for a stroll on the left bank of the Xiliang River.After all, the Xixia people were closer there. If they were really caught, the Hexi army would have to shoot with all their arrows, and it would be impossible to save them.
After all, it is a place where the military strategy is important, where both Xixia and Song Dynasty are staring at it with staring eyes. If you have nothing to do, you still love to run to this border. What is your intention? Wouldn't you deserve it if you died?
Bao Zheng and others crossed the river, followed the guidance of the map in the local chronicles, and found the dense forest.
After entering the dense forest, not long after walking, Mo Qi suddenly stretched out his arms and stopped everyone: "Don't move."
After stopping everyone in place, he jumped up to the top of the forest alone, lowered his body, and approached the forest under the cover of lush leaves.
After several silent ups and downs, Mo Qi stopped on a pine tree.
In front of him, not far away.
The dense forest was cut down to create a vast open space, on which clusters of huts were built with wood, and nearly a hundred shadow men were silently shuttling between the huts and the huge ravine behind the houses, basket after basket of blue-purple breast milk. The fruit is transported to what is roughly a warehouse for storage.
Wooden huts, ravines, and guarded towers all have the shape of a city.
"Chong!"
Without looking back, Mo Qi held Fu Chen with his backhand and swung it to the right, and the tail of dust wrapped around the steel knife that was coming towards his neck.
The powerful internal forces of the two collided, knocking down a pine tree around them instantly.
The white figure flew back along the momentum, and landed lightly like a snowflake on the treetop opposite Mo Qi.
Mo Qi saw the other party's attire clearly: "Bai Yutang!"
Among the shadow people, Bai Yutang is probably the only one who still wears white clothes in his own way.
Bai Yutang's current state looks very abnormal.
When we met each other in the magistrate's office, the other party looked quite calm, although his face was a little impatient, but at least he was not as irritable as he is now, with blood red eyes and white hair.
The originally completely black eyes were already extremely terrifying like a black hole, but now the blood-red eyes set off the snow-white hair of Bai Yutang who was blown by the wind and stirred by internal force, making it even more treacherous and lifeless. people.
He didn't give Mo Qi any time to speak again, he wiped the wide-mouthed steel knife with his left hand, the blade was trembling and humming due to the concentrated internal force, then he opened and closed his hand wide and struck with the knife.
Holding the whisk in his hand, Mo Qi raised his hand to block it, and the pine tree under his feet was immediately knocked down by the force of the knife.
Mo Qi spun around and swung the whisk, skillfully relieved the remaining force of the knife wind, his heart tightened.
Bai Yutang's current internal strength is actually comparable to his!
Before he could think about the countermeasures, Bai Yutang was already standing on the top of the pine tree, his white sleeves fluttering, and he stabbed three times in a row, coming awe-inspiringly.
In the wooden city, nearly a hundred pairs of black hole-like eyes were all looking in the direction of Mo Qi.
·
·
Hexi Prison.
Deputy General Shi was slumped on the straw bed, worrying whether he really would die this time.
He rubbed the grass clippings on his hands a little regretfully, feeling that he really shouldn't be frightened by Prince Taiping's words so casually, so he was so frightened that he said everything like a bamboo tube.
He is now in the prison in Hexi, and all the patrolling around here are Hexi Army.
Could it be that the murderer could enter and exit the Hexi Prison at will under the eyes of the Hexi Army?
The night gradually enveloped Hexi.
Deputy General Shi turned over, turned his back to the candlelight behind him, and planned to doze off first.
A black figure was reflected on the wall in front of him.
Deputy General Shi froze in horror.Cold sweat instantly wet the back of the clothes.
He turned around stiffly, and saw a blue-purple face looking at him with a cold smile.
"you--"
"!!!"
Outside the cell, foul-smelling blood spilled out treacherous traces on the ground.
·
·
Nearly a hundred shadow people rushed forward.
Swords, lights, swords and arrows, locusts and arrows in their stone sleeves all rushed towards Mo Qi and Bai Yutang who were fighting.
As if completely enraged, Bai Yutang let out a wild howl, and his voice was heard for hundreds of miles. His inner strength shook away all the outsiders who wanted to interfere. With a turn of the steel knife, his inner strength suddenly increased by a few percent. He slashed at Mo Qi recklessly.
Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao finally couldn't hold back when they heard such a big commotion, and asked Bao Zheng and others to take the team out of the dense forest. The two hurried over to help, and happened to see those shadow men, and Bai Yutang They all look like they want to kill.
Without saying a word, Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao immediately threw themselves into the battlefield.
Bai Yutang's condition was not right, and Zhan Zhao discovered it immediately.
Mo Qi was able to sustain the attack of nearly a hundred people before they arrived, it was entirely because of Bai Yutang's craziness to fight everyone, and even seriously injured many shadow people.
Zhan Zhao wanted to change opponents with Mo Qi, but seeing that Mo Qi had to go all out in order to be able to compete with Bai Yutang on equal terms, he should go obediently and go with Gong Jiu to deal with the other shadow people first.
The martial arts of Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao can be said to be the best of the younger generation.However, facing the attacks of nearly a hundred opponents, as well as hidden weapons, he was also overwhelmed.
The most important thing is that these shadow people have stayed here for several days and know the terrain better than them.After several battles, Gong Jiu and Zhan Zhao suddenly discovered that they were led into the ravine by shadow people.
The gully was full of milk fruit plants that had begun to bear fruit. After some fighting, bruise juice splashed all over Gong Jiu's white clothes, and Zhan Zhao's red clothes were also dyed dark blue.
During the fight, Gong Jiu raised his head inadvertently, looked out of the gully, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Organ!"
Dozens of heavy crossbows aimed at the ravine, ready to go.
However, it was too late for the two of them to dodge. Those shadow people dragging them in the gully seemed not afraid of death. let them go.
A group of ten bows and arrows, dozens of heavy crossbows, fired in unison, piercing towards the people in the ravine.
Red coat.
Juque.
Bronze Arrow.
through the heart.
Fragmentary fragments flashed through Bai Yutang's brain, causing a sharp pain in his head, he staggered to the side, stepped on a tree branch, stumbled and fell.
Before he could react, his body moved instinctively.
Bai Yutang stared at the dazzling red shadow in the ravine, completely ignoring Mo Qi's whisk, shouldering the blow of dust on his shoulders, using his strength to fall into the ravine, knocking the giant bird in red The boy fell to the ground.
Mo Qi hurriedly chased after him, pressed his palm on Bai Yutang's back, and channeled his internal energy.
The invisible inner strength surged from Bai Yutang's body like a giant bell being struck in an ancient temple, and with his roar, most of the bows and arrows were shot down.Gong Jiu and Mo Qi teamed up to break the rest of the bows and arrows, either by throwing the dust or by raising a fan.
Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, looking at the handsome man protecting him: "Yutang!"
Bai Yutang let out a long whistle, exhausted himself immediately, and fell headlong.
Mo Qi and Gong Jiu didn't have time to rest. Behind them were Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but in front of them were those shadow people who were still entangled.After the two swept the bow and arrow away, they immediately turned around, with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang as the center to block the swords, lights and swords that kept rushing towards them.The cyan fruit was trampled into mud by the people fighting fiercely in the ravine. The cyan juice splashed with the footsteps and stained the hem of the clothes, exuding a fishy and sweet smell.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Mo Qi and Gong Jiu gratefully, then hurriedly lowered his head, turned over Bai Yutang who was face down into his arms, and saw the other party's frown in extreme pain.
The bluish-black blood on Bai Yutang's face became denser and more terrifying.
This is different from what the Taoist priest said, when the memory medicine is awakened, it will be self-resolved!
Zhan Zhao helplessly brushed away Bai Yutang's hair that had slipped between his full lips, and looked anxiously at the black blood that seemed to be surging on the other's face.
He didn't dare to lift Bai Yutang's eyes at this time to make sure that the other party really remembered.
After all, Bai Yutang was hard-pressed to bear the blow of Daoist Mo, so he insisted on coming to rescue him!If Bai Yutang couldn't remember his memory and fell into a frenzy, how could he do such a desperate thing and sacrifice his life to save him?
Mo Qi hastily dodged a long sword that was stabbing at him obliquely: "Don't kill people, capture them alive!"
Gong Jiu didn't answer in silence, but the moves in his hands took off a little bit of internal strength.
After the last shadow man was stunned by them, Mo Qi just flew into the ravine: "How is Young Xia Bai?"
Zhan Zhao's flustered eyes were messed up, and when he heard Mo Qi's question, he raised his head anxiously: "He—why isn't he awake? Why are there more and more bloodshots on his face?!"
Ju Que was put aside by him, and now Zhan Zhao hugged Bai Yutang tightly, as if holding him could help share Bai Yutang's pain at this time.
Mo Qi knelt down halfway, and stretched out his hand to catch Bai Yutang's pulse: "...he has hidden wounds on his body. Although this medicine has saved him, those dark wounds have not been completely healed..." Mo Qi raised his hand, and said in Zhan Zhao He touched the back of Bai Yutang's head under his gaze, and found a depression, "The back of his head was also seriously injured..."
Zhan Zhao asked urgently: "Then he can still wake up, can he be cured?!"
Mo Qi nodded in Zhan Zhao's eyes as if he was looking at the last straw, and then shook his head: "He can wake up, and the hidden wounds on his body can also be cured. As long as the dark wounds are cured, these bloodshots will naturally disappear .But...his memory may not be able to be retrieved completely. And he needs to pay attention to it on weekdays, he may easily feel irritable, and it is difficult to suppress the violent fluctuations of emotions. "
After all, Bai Yutang's memory probably didn't disappear because of the effect of the medicine, but before he was given the medicine, it disappeared because of a serious injury to the back of his head.
The fact that Bai Yutang was so irritable was also caused by this serious injury to the back of his head.
"I will pay attention." Zhan Zhao just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of a new question: "Then can he still talk?"
The only sound Bai Yutang made just now was a long whistling sound, without saying a single word.
Mo Qi raised his hand to pinch Bai Yutang's mouth open, and checked it out: "It's okay, the vocal cords are a bit damaged, and it can be cured, but maybe the voice will become hoarse in the future."
"That's okay, that's okay..." Zhan Zhao said several times in a row while still in shock, before he slightly relaxed his tense body.
He lowered his head and stared at Bai Yutang who was unconscious in his arms with his eyes closed, and couldn't help touching Bai Yutang's cheek with trembling hands.
lukewarm.real.
To Zhan Zhao, it doesn't matter what memory, temper tantrum, or voice is hoarse.
As long as Bai Yutang is around, it will be fine.
If Yutang wants to regain his memory, he can tell Yutang sentence by sentence, and he will definitely spend time with Yutang in the future; if Yutang is easy to get angry, then he will be angry!Even if he gets angry, Yutang must be extremely handsome.If Yutang wanted to make his voice not hoarse——
... Yutang doesn't care if his voice is hoarse or not. When we first met, Yutang talked in a low voice every day in order to increase his momentum!It made him unconvinced, and he talked in a choked voice those few days, making Mr. Gongsun think he was caught cold.
With a red nose and red eyes, Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang in his arms and thought about it sourly but firmly. He remembered the funny and stupid things Bai Yutang and himself did together when they were young. a joy.
Zhan Zhao was having fun, the tears that had been suffocating in his eyes just fell down
