The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

The Confucian scholar in white robe stroked his mandible with one hand and his back behind his back, staying on the quiet street in the middle of the night. Under the moonlight, he showed a somewhat immortal and unfathomable feeling.

Lin Aoxue stopped, her eyes were faint, this person was a master.

Neither of them spoke first, and looked at each other from a distance, Lin Aoxue knew that the other was waiting for her, but she had never seen this person, nor had she heard of anyone related to him in Xing Beiguan, so she could not help frowning, her eyes revealed A little thoughtful and suspicious.

"General Lin, I have been waiting here for a long time, I wonder if General Lin can take a step to speak?"

Seeing Lin Aoxue looking at him with vigilance in his eyes, the white-robed scholar showed a smile and said calmly.

Lin Aoxue did not refuse, nor could she refuse.

After the Confucian scholar finished speaking, his figure moved, and he silently did not enter the other side of the alley. Lin Aoxue's eyes shrank. This scholar's Qinggong was already superb. He looked weak, but his posture was particularly ethereal.

Lin Aoxue became more and more puzzled about this person's identity. Recently, there have been many strange things in Xingbeiguan. First, Beichenlong was assassinated, and then there were spies who collaborated with the enemy. Xingbeiguan was broken. One seems to have been planned in advance, but no one can find the exact connection between them.

Right now, the mysterious scholar appeared to invite him. When Lin Aoxue saw his hand, he immediately linked him with the assassin who killed Beichenlong. Beichenlong was a master at first, and the person in Xing Beiguan who had the ability to assassinate Beichenlong was really one. She could count her hands, but she also understood that she couldn't jump to conclusions, so she didn't think about it any further, and walked behind the man into the alleys.

The two walked around the market one after the other, and when their figures disappeared into the tall courtyard wall, Lin Aoxue's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, because that place was actually the Yanyu Building.

A major accident happened in Xingbeiguan. Even though this time was supposed to be the most lively time in Yanyu Building, today, it was very desolate in Yanyu Building. The girls in the building had an early rest. At this time, there were no bright lights in the building. People entered the Yanyu Building, jumped straight up, and came to the attic on the top floor of the Yanyu Building.

Lin Aoxue followed along the path she had traveled. When she stepped on the wooden steps in the pavilion, the pavilion suddenly lit up with candlelight. The scholar in white robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking out at the empty and lonely night outside the window. , said to Lin Aoxue:

"Respected teacher and his old man, are you all right before you go down the mountain?"

Lin Aoxue paused in her footsteps, with a look of surprise in her eyes. She stood at the door of the pavilion without speaking for a long time.

"Oh, it's a bit abrupt. Although I know your deeds in Xingbeiguan, you don't know my identity."

The white-robed scholar turned around with a peaceful face, those bright black eyes looked particularly shrewd and wise in the light of the candle, as if hiding countless strategies and maneuvers, leaving Lin Aoxue in the fog, full of doubts, her expression remained unmoved, He frowned slightly and asked:

"Who is your Excellency?"

The Confucian scholar in white robe stroked his jaw and whiskers, and answered Lin Aoxue's words with a smile:

"I'm Bei Chenlong's military advisor, and I'm also the eldest disciple of Master Hongming. My name is Xuanhe. You can call me senior brother."

Lin Aoxue was very surprised. Although she knew that Master Hongming had many disciples, most of those disciples she knew were monks in the temple. This was the first time she came into contact with Master Hongming scattered outside the Yuanming Temple. The disciple of this person, and this person's other identity surprised her even more, he turned out to be Bei Chenlong's military advisor!

Since he was Bei Chenlong's military advisor, he must have won Bei Chenlong's trust. At this moment, Lin Aoxue doubted whether this person was the real murderer who assassinated Bei Chenlong.

But Xuanhe had already revealed her identity, so Lin Aoxue could no longer settle the matter with a perfunctory attitude. No matter whether this person's identity was what he said, she could not show too obvious hostility.

Therefore, after Xuan He's voice fell, Lin Aoxue's shoulders were slightly loose, and he stepped into the pavilion, clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to Xuan He, saying:

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Xuanhe."

Xuan He laughed, raised his hand and patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder, motioned Lin Aoxue to sit down a few short distances aside, and asked with a smile:

"Tea or wine?"

Lin Aoxue sat upright and did not think about it for too long. As soon as Xuanhe asked, she made a choice:

"Tea."

Xuan He heard the words and clapped his hands lightly. Soon, there were light footsteps from the silent Lou, and a maid in the Yanyu Building came in with the tea that had just been brewed, and filled Lin Aoxue and Xuan He respectively. After taking a cup, he took the tray and walked away, and the room was quiet again.

Lin Aoxue's eyes fell on the rippling light in the tea, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Obviously, the person behind the Yanyu Tower is her nominal senior brother, and the Yanyu Tower in the north and the Yanyu in Beijing There are many, many unexplainable involvements in the building.

The biggest hand behind Yanyulou is Beichenhe, and the answer is ready to come out. Xuanhe is in the northern army, as Beichenlong's military advisor, but he is actually Beichenhe's person. But there is one thing Lin Aoxue is a little puzzled about, how did Xuanhe gain his trust and never reveal his identity for someone as suspicious as Bei Chenlong?

Besides, Yunyan is also doing things for Beichenhe. She used to be the oiran of Yanyulou. Is there a deep relationship between Yunyan and Xuanhe?

Seeing Lin Aoxue frowning, Xuanhe seemed to be able to see the doubts in her heart. His face was calm and calm, his eyes were easy-going and indifferent, but he had the temperament of Master Hongming. He calmly mentioned that he asked Lin Aoxue at first. that sentence:

"Respected teacher and his old man, are you all right before you go down the mountain?"

Lin Aoxue held the tea bowl, her eyebrows lowered slightly, and answered seriously:

"Master, everything is as usual, but the cough that I contracted in previous years has a tendency to recur before I go down the mountain."

Xuan He snorted, his face showing a look of reminiscence. For a time, the small space in the pavilion became silent again. Lin Aoxue rubbed the edge of the tea bowl with his thumb, circle after circle, guessing what Xuan He was going to say next. something.

"How do you see the situation in the world today?"

After being quiet for a long time, Xuan He spoke again. His words seemed serious and his demeanor was quite casual, but it was as if he was communicating with his fellow juniors and brothers what they had seen and learned.

Lin Aoxue couldn't figure out Xuanhe's purpose, but she guessed that since Xuanhe was mostly Bei Chenhe's subordinate, every word he said to her might be testing her attitude. And he called Lin Aoxue as his junior brother. Obviously, he did not know her true identity. Hongming hid her identity for her. In the world, except for Hongming Yunyan and Sui Ming, no one else knew her identity.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before answering:

"The emperor's tyranny, the people's hardship, the turmoil of the savage troops at the border, the uprising of the Central Plains, and the decline of the Beichen Kingdom. If it continues to deteriorate like this, the people's hearts will be scattered, and they will definitely fall apart."

Xuan He stroked his beard and nodded, saying:

"That's right, as the junior brother said, in this Beichen world, the national power has been exhausted, the national treasury is empty, and the people's livelihood is withering, so the junior brother thinks, why is this?"

"Natural and man-made disasters."

Lin Aoxue's words were concise and to the point.

"Drought disaster, who's disaster?"

Xuanhe went to the bottom of it.

Lin Aoxue thought about the words, and after a while, she answered:

"Royal brothers fight infighting, and ordinary people suffer."

She was not sure whether Xuan He was a subordinate of the clan prince, so she did not immediately state her position during the conversation, but only stated her point of view on a case by case basis. Even though she knew in her heart that in the process of the emperor and Beichenlong's intensifying strife, most of the clan princes couldn't figure out what to do, but at least on the bright side, Beichenhe had nothing to do with the affairs of state affairs.

Xuan He smiled, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes that was unpredictable. Lin Aoxue's answer was not very clever, but he didn't make a fool of himself, so he asked again:

"Then the younger brother thinks, who will kill the deer if the royal brothers fight within each other?"

Lin Aoxue's fingers that crossed the edge of the tea bowl paused lightly, the highlight was coming, Xuan He was asking her to express her stance. She stared at the undulating waves in the tea bowl, and answered without changing her face:

"In the world of Beichen Kingdom, it doesn't matter who kills the deer. I just hope that the war can be subsided as soon as possible, and the people of Limin can live and work in peace and contentment."

Xuan He laughed and nodded to what Lin Aoxue said:

"That's right, that's true. The younger brother has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, but he is quite similar to the respected teacher back then."

Lin Aoxue did not answer when she heard the words, but Xuan He looked at her and suddenly said:

"Junior brother knows that the respected teacher also had the same ambition as junior brother, but in the end, he was suspected and ended bleak."

Lin Aoxue didn't know about Hongming's past. At this moment, when Xuanhe mentioned it, she frowned, her eyes were puzzled, and she asked:

"I only know that Master was very prestigious in Beijing, but I don't know why Master became a monk later. When I was cultivating in the mountains, Master never mentioned the old days. Brother, can you know something about it?"

After Lin Aoxue finished asking, Xuan He's eyes showed a trace of reminiscence, he said after pondering for a while:

"When the teacher was young, he was talented, both civil and military, and had great ambitions. He was the prime minister's favorite student. He was concerned about the people's livelihood. When he was studying in the folks, he found that men could enter the school from an early age, while women could only enter the school. Can learn female red."

"But when he was lecturing in the village, many women secretly went to listen to his lectures, so he accepted a few female disciples and found that the knowledge of these female disciples was not slightly worse than that of men, so he thought that talent had nothing to do with gender. The DPRK advocated the implementation of the female official system, allowing women to be officials.”

"However, Beichen has always respected men, and the old adage that women are virtuous and virtuous has never been changed since ancient times. This move of respecting teachers is undoubtedly challenging the traditional bottom line of Beichen Kingdom. The emperor was even more furious and ordered him to face the wall and think about it, and there were rumors in the capital that the respected teacher and his female disciples were very close and unclear."

Xuan He recalled the old things, and there was still some indescribable feelings in his eyes. At that time, he was only in his twenties, and he was the most obedient and sensible student under Hongming. He was neutral on Hongming's actions. Attitude, neither praise nor criticism.

"Zun Shi was outraged because of this, and no one believed that he was innocent, so he resigned in a fit of anger, and since then he has stayed away from the temple and recuperated in Yuanming Mountain."

It was also at that time that he was recruited by the prince of the clan and secretly communicated with Bei Chenhe, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent situation.

Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that there was such a cause and effect. Master Hongming's move was the first person in the history of Beichen. However, such an innovative move was suppressed by the royal family before it could make a big splash, and it was regarded as a scandal. The secret was hidden, so after Hongming became a monk, Beijing only passed on his knowledge and ability, but never mentioned his achievements.

She turned the tea bowl in her hand and sighed after hearing the words:

"Master must have worked very hard at the beginning."

While Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, Xuanhe also brought back some memories. She then remembered that it was not the first time she and Hongming met when Hongming took her away 14 years ago.

In fact, she had seen Hongming earlier.

At that time, she was less than ten years old. She sneaked to the school where the princes studied with Bei Chenling. She met a young teacher who was in her thirties. She and Bei Chenling laughed and said that this master is better than that. of students are more like students.

Later, the teacher found out that the two of them were eavesdropping, but he didn't drive them away. After one class was finished, he asked them some questions. Lin Aoxue couldn't remember what Hongming asked at that time, and only vaguely replied. Some impressions, she answered very well, and was praised by the master.

After that time, she and Bei Chenling secretly went to academies several times, but they never met the student that day. As time passed, they gradually forgot what that person looked like, and no one mentioned that talented young man again. .

Now that I think about it, it turns out that the relationship between her and Hongming's master and apprentice had been forged as early as childhood. She couldn't help but wonder, was it possible for Hongming to recognize her early in the morning when they met on the street in Beijing?

When Lin Aoxue's thoughts returned to his childhood, Xuan He shook his head and chuckled, his eyes filled with recollection and helplessness:

"Yeah, at that time, the respected teacher left the capital. As a disciple of the respected teacher, I should have also left the capital, but I was young and vigorous at that time, and I was unwilling to leave before I achieved anything, so I stopped in the capital again. two years."

"In those two years, when I traveled every day, there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me. When I was walking on the street, I would feel that the people around me were whispering, and they cared that I was a disciple of Revered Master, no matter what I did. Trying hard to gain fame, in the end, I only get frustrated, and my ambition is difficult to achieve."

"The emperor didn't use me much, and even the Beijing middle school didn't allow me to give lectures. I was extremely poor, but at this time, His Royal Highness Prince Zong secretly recruited me into the palace."

This sentence has already made his position clear. He really belongs to Bei Chenhe.

Under Lin Aoxue's inquiring eyes, he took out a jade token from his cuff, placed it lightly on the table, and smiled at Lin Aoxue:

"Do you know what this is, Junior Brother?"

Lin Aoxue's gaze fell on the jade plaque, which she naturally recognized, and she also had the same piece on her body. She pursed her lips, Xuan He spoke to her today with sincerity, and he revealed his identity to Lin Aoxue, not without courage, but without fear.

Even if Lin Aoxue knew the inside story, he couldn't do anything to her. On the contrary, if Lin Aoxue knew these things, she was destined to be unable to escape. Before she left Beijing at the beginning of the year, what Bei Chenhe said in her ear echoed again, and the chess pieces that had been buried for so long seemed to have some effect.

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart. After a while, the conclusion was reached. With a flick of her cuffs, she took out the jade card that she had always carried with her and placed it next to the jade card held by Xuan He, tacitly knowing each other. The smile on Xuan He's face deepened, and the divine light in his eyes became more complacent. He tapped the table with his fingertips and said:

"Your Highness is extremely wise. Compared with the emperor and Bei Chenlong, his vision is obviously more long-term. He has always regretted what happened to the teacher. When His Highness saw that I could not move an inch in the capital, he gave me a trick to let me I went north to Xingbeiguan and defected to Beichenlong."

After speaking, Xuan He had no scruples, and he said with a smile:

"You must be wondering why I can gain Bei Chenlong's trust."

Maybe it was because the teacher came out of the same school, or maybe it was because he was loyal to the same person, Xuan He was a little interested today, and even opened the chat box, willing to answer Lin Aoxue's questions.

Lin Aoxue did not pretend to understand, she nodded earnestly, and said:

"Yes, I am very puzzled about this. After I returned from the capital, Bei Chenlong tried to test me more, and I almost lost my life several times. I think my brother has a coup."

Xuan He heard the words, but he laughed, his expression was quite relaxed and freehand:

"Junior brother is overestimated as a brother. The reason why a brother can win Bei Chenlong's trust is actually relying on the respect of the teacher."

"Oh?"

Lin Aoxue was puzzled.

"Because before the teacher was criticized, he went to the north to practice for a period of time, and even made friends with Bei Chenlong, but when the teacher was criticized in the capital for implementing the female official system, Bei Chenlong chose to be wise and protect himself, and did not stand by the teacher. This side, so he feels guilty about it."

When Xuan He said this, his face showed two points of ridicule. He snorted indifferently, obviously disgusting Bei Chenlong for doing this:

"When I heard that I was a disciple of the respected teacher and suffered a lot in the capital, Bei Chenlong did not hesitate to take me in."

Lin Aoxue heard the words and sighed softly:

"Senior brother is also a good time for the meeting."

There was a thoughtful look on her face, the tea in the tea bowl in her hand was getting cold, she gently stroked the edge, and then said:

"Senior brother came to look for me today, it should not just be with me."

Having said so much to her before, he undoubtedly wanted to draw in their relationship and gain Lin Aoxue's trust, but Xuanhe's real purpose was definitely more than that.

Xuan He took a sip from the tea bowl and said with a smile:

"I'm looking for my brother for my brother, I want to share the worries for my brother."

Lin Aoxue was very surprised. Xuan He's words were beyond her expectations. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xuan He in surprise. Although she did not speak, Xuan He could see her doubts in her eyes. He proactively said:

"As far as I know, the younger brother just came back from outside the customs, but the younger brother's trip seems to have been unsuccessful."

Lin Aoxue clenched her hands beside the tea bowl suddenly, and the expression on her face suddenly froze. Lin Aoxue's reaction after hearing what he said was too obvious. Even though Lin Aoxue tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't completely hide the shock and nervousness in her heart.

Xuan He didn't take it seriously, he raised his eyebrows, the smile in his eyes deepened, Lin Aoxue had a weakness, so that his purpose of this trip could be smoother:

"The hero is sad at the Beauty Pass. Junior and brother don't have to be so nervous, it's just human nature."

After a sigh, he changed his words:

"Miss Yunyan has won the trust of the prince of the sect, and her ability is quite outstanding. This time the barbarians invaded the gate and only captured Yunyan. Do you know why?"

Lin Aoxue's eyelids trembled slightly, her lips pursed tightly. After a while, she took a deep breath and asked:

"Also ask Senior Brother to clarify your doubts."

Since Xuan He mentioned this matter, he must know the inside story.

Perhaps, he not only knew the inside story of the barbarian's entry into the pass, he was even the initiator behind this incident, or perhaps the person who made the whole Xingbeiguan into chaos and told Zheji the situation of Xingbeiguan's defense was Xuanhe, except him , there is no second person with such ability.

And his purpose is also obvious, to weaken Bei Chenlong's power, to prevent Beichenlong from being too inflated, and to allow Beichenlong and the emperor to check and balance each other. The more chaotic the situation, the greater the benefits Beichen He Neng can get from it, until Beichen's national power is weakened to a certain extent, he will be able to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos.

Lin Aoxue would not be surprised if he changed the pusher behind him to Bei Chenhe. Lin Aoxue admired Bei Chenhe's patience. She had to admit that Bei Chenhe was the most ruthless and the most tolerant of the three brothers.

If it is Beichen He, it is not surprising that he made the decision to bury the 60,000 soldiers of Xing Beiguan just to fulfill his own ambitions.

Xuan He stroked his mandibular whiskers, nodded and said:

"The barbarian king of Boka was suddenly critically ill. There was no doctor among the barbarians who could treat the barbarian king's serious illness. The princes were fighting for power and wanted to take the opportunity to set up a mutiny. Cooperation, but Yunyan didn't know about this matter, so when the princess took her away, she used some means."

Xuan He said calmly, but Lin Aoxue's slightly drooping eyes had gathered a cold and sharp killing intent, and it quickly dissipated in just a moment. She still held the tea bowl in her palm, and did not express the anger in her heart. She knew that martial arts practitioners were most sensitive to murderous aura, and the slightest bit of strangeness she showed could be the reason for Xuan He to doubt her.

But the anger deep in her heart would not be easily quelled, Xuan He said so lightly, just wanted to tell Lin Aoxue that although Yun Yan was taken away by Zhe Ji and went deep into the grassland, this was the relationship between the prince and Zhe Ji. The transaction, so Yunyan will not worry about his life.

Xuanhe didn't know that what Lin Aoxue cared about was not the same as what he guessed in his heart.

Lin Aoxue felt unbearable anger that Yunyan had become a tool for the Zong Prince to trade with the barbarians. Even if Yunyan had taken precautions, the Zong Prince's move was too rude.

Lin Aoxue doesn't know if Yunyan has been to the grassland, but the barbarians are fighting for power within the grasslands, the environment is dangerous after all, even Zhe Ji can't make sure he is safe, how can he worry about Yunyan's safety? In the area surrounded by wolves, Lin Aoxue was very worried and anxious.

She forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart. Even if she gritted her teeth and wished she could tear up Xuan He's stubborn face immediately, she had to show herself the same level of calmness and not being humiliated.

"Doctor Yun is going to the grasslands, and he must not be able to come back easily."

Lin Aoxue lowered her head slightly and muttered to herself.

Xuan He glanced at her, and then teased her with a smile:

"I can't tell that the junior brother is an infatuated person, but the junior brother should not worry. Since the brother is here to find you, there is news related to Dr. Yun to bring you."

Lin Aoxue raised her head when she heard the words, looked at Xuan He earnestly, and waited for his next words.

"Doctor Yun will go directly to Boka when he goes to the grassland. Princess Boka intends to join forces with His Royal Highness Zong Prince to use Beichen's soldiers to solve the internal crisis of the barbarians. Junior brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss it again!"

Xuan He's smile was mysterious and deep, and he knew that Lin Aoxue couldn't refuse.

Lin Aoxue really couldn't refuse. If she wanted to save Yunyan, she had to obey Bei Chenhe's words.

She felt a chill in her heart, Beichen was not only Yunyan as a doctor, even if the barbarian king was dying, how could he know that only Yunyan could save him?

Unless it was Bei Chenhe behind the scenes, he deliberately used Yunyan's safety to coerce Lin Aoxue, even Lin Aoxue's reaction and decision were taken into account. With such foresight and foresight, how many secrets did they really hide in the bureau? The eyes of Bei Chenhe?

Lin Aoxue suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. It seemed that as long as she was in this game, she could only obey Bei Chenhe's arrangement. She didn't know how far Bei Chenhe's hands were spread, and how many hidden methods he still had that he didn't use. How many pairs of eyes behind him are watching Beichen Tianxia's every move for him.

This man is really scary.

She took a deep breath and felt a little heavy in her heart. From the beginning, she knew that Bei Chenhe was difficult to deal with. He was much more dangerous than the emperor and Bei Chenlong.

But since she has embarked on this road of no return, there is no reason to turn back.

After Xuan He finished speaking, Lin Aoxue had a solemn expression on her face, as if she was lost in thought. After a while, she let out a small sigh of relief, got up and knelt beside her, and pleaded with Xuan He:

"Senior brother, please report this battle to the lord, and be sure to allow me to be the vanguard! Lin Aoxue is willing to open the way for the lord to enter the grassland!"

If she wants to lead the army, she must get the military power. The situation in Xingbeiguan is chaotic at the moment. Beichen congratulates Xingbeiguan with the help of the barbarian soldiers this time. Beichenlong has suffered heavy losses. If she grasps the opportunity to call her division into the grassland, she will be able to search for Yunyan earlier.

But Lin Aoxue also understands that Beichen He wants to benefit when Beichenlong and the emperor snipe and clam are fighting, so naturally he can't just take over the mess of Beichen world, and he can't solve the internal problems for the barbarians first and bury them for himself. Disaster, therefore, Bei Chenhe will definitely deal with the chaos in the DPRK first, at least, he must be in power in the DPRK and eliminate all the voices against him.

In addition, he also needs military power, a sharp knife who is loyal to him and can recover the chaos for him and suppress the uprising soldiers all over Beichen.

If Lin Aoxue doesn't fight, then there will be someone on the side willing to take this position, then she will lose value to Bei Chenhe, so she wants to climb up, wants to stand firm in this chaos, just You must show your talents, even if you go against your heart, even if you betray your conscience.

Lin Aoxue took the initiative to ask for his life, which was a pledge of allegiance. Xuanhe nodded in satisfaction. He naturally had no doubts about Lin Aoxue's ability to lead troops. Lin Aoxue came to Xingbeiguan for two years, and he saw the countless battles he had experienced. Within a hundred years of Xingbeiguan, no one can surpass it.

As for Lin Aoxue's performance in Xingbeiguan, he has been secretly reporting to Beichenhe, so although Beichenhe is far away in the capital, he actually knows everything about Xingbeiguan's actions.

Xuan He got up, walked towards Lin Aoxue, helped her up, patted her shoulder with a smile, lowered his voice and said in her ear:

"As long as you have no heart for the prince, the prince will naturally not treat you badly."

At the end, he walked back to the back of the desk, clapped his hands and called the maid to come up and change the tea. Lin Aoxue retired in time and came out of the Yanyu Building.

It was very dark outside, the sky was gray, and neither the stars nor the moon could be seen.

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips, her thoughts were turbulent, and after a while, she gritted her teeth again, not showing the slightest emotion on her face. As soon as she moved, her figure did not enter the street, she hid in the dark at a very fast speed, circled around the Xingbei market, returned to the back of the medical hall, climbed the wall and entered, using the shelter of the vegetation in the yard, came quickly to the main hall.

The man in black was still hiding in the room and didn't leave. He also expected that Lin Aoxue might come back.

His injury was very serious. When Zhe Ji's dark guard fought against him, he stabbed him in the lower abdomen. Although according to the experience of life and death in the past, he could barely save his life after treating the wound by himself, but he was also very weak at this time. If someone else came here to take advantage of the danger, he might not be able to hold on.

When Lin Aoxue came, he was sitting against the wall, his head dropped slightly, his breathing was weak, and his face was ugly, as if he might die at any time. Lin Aoxue pushed open the door of the house and walked in. He raised his head laboriously, vaguely recognized the identity of the person, and did not try to escape.

"Take off your coat and put on the medicine."

Lin Aoxue came over, took out the medicine bag from the cuff, and handed it to him.

It was very difficult to bandage the wound, but they couldn't turn on the lights. If the lights were on here, they would soon be discovered. Lin Aoxue couldn't help. After handing over the medicine to the man in black, he waited by the side. In the silence, only the sound of torn cloth rustled.

"What is your name?"

Lin Aoxue asked suddenly.

The man in black who secretly bandaged the wound kept moving his hands and replied in a hoarse voice:

"You can call me Shadow Shop."

"Yingsi? Is there still Ying Yi, Ying II, Ying III?"

Lin Aoxue thought this title was a bit interesting, so she asked.

Ying Si felt that Lin Aoxue asked too much. He did not answer this question, but instead asked:

"How is Miss Yun?"

Lin Aoxue didn't mind Ying Si not answering her question. She didn't really want to get to the bottom of it, she just wanted to know about Yunyan, but she didn't know how to speak, so she just found a topic at random. There is nothing to hide, so he said:

"Going to the grassland, Zhe Ji took her away, I led the troops to chase, and almost fought with the barbarians, but she persuaded me to come back, and I couldn't save her."

Ying Si was silent for a moment, and a cold snort sounded in the darkness, followed by Ying Si's resentful and indifferent voice:

"You know why she did this?"

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and did not speak for a long time. When Yunyan persuaded her to come back, she had already said it clearly. Of course, she knew Yunyan's painstaking efforts. It was because of this that her heart was so painful that she felt so guilty that it was hard to put into words. Likewise, The tumultuous thoughts were frantically torturing her, making her desperate to grab Yunyan back.

But she couldn't act rashly, otherwise Yunyan's thoughts would be wasted in vain, she could only hold back her restless thoughts and wait for the opportunity.

"I know."

After a long silence, Lin Aoxue said softly.

Ying Si finally bandaged the wound. He forced himself to stand up, let out a breath, rolled up the blood-stained gauze and stuffed it into his arms, and took it out later to try to clean it up.

"Miss Yun left something for you, you can come with me."

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard the words, but before she could understand, Ying Si had already opened the door and walked out. Lin Aoxue frowned, thinking about what Yun Yan had left for herself, and at the same time, she set out to follow Ying Si's footsteps and quickly left the backyard of the hospital.

Lin Aoxue felt that she had been running around all day, learning one secret after another, and almost lost her head.

She followed Yingsi through the Xingbei Market and came to a gloomy forest outside the market. After the war, there were no people in the city. The woods outside the market were even more empty. At night, at first glance, it seems that a vicious beast is lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to engulf those who enter.

Ying Si went deep into the jungle without hesitation, and Lin Aoxue followed closely. They were always paying attention to the changes around them to avoid being followed.

After more than a thousand steps into the jungle, Ying Si paused in footsteps, then suddenly turned and walked another two hundred steps, Lin Aoxue followed behind him, turning three times during the period, each time the distance was different, and finally finally Stopped under an old tree.

Lin Aoxue was surprised in her heart. She followed Hongming's practice and had come into contact with some of the Qimen Dunjia way. The route the man in black took just now implied certain rules. Will get lost after entering the woods.

Obviously, this piece of forest has been rearranged according to special needs. Yunyan has been lurking in Xingbeiguan for all these years. In order to avoid Beichenhe's eyes and ears, she must have spent a lot of effort. It is too difficult for her to survive in such an environment. When Lin Aoxue thought of the hardships Yunyan had paid for this, she felt as if a hole had been broken in her heart and was extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know what Yingsi brought her to this place, what exactly is to be handed over to her.

Ying Si stopped in front of the old tree, and immediately lit a fire and walked around the thick trunk, as if looking for some kind of mark. Lin Aoxue couldn't help, so he just waited by and carefully observed the shadow. wanton action. After a while, Ying Si found something, leaned down, fixed the fire stick to the side, and then picked up a flat stone to dig up the soil on the ground.

After a while, the stone in his hand hit a hard object, and he quickly dug it out, it was a small wooden box.

The box was covered in dirt and looked old. Ying Si directly wiped off the mud stains on the box with his cuffs, allowing the wooden box to reveal its original appearance.

The surface of this wooden box has a very fine carving pattern, and the box is locked with a mechanism. Lin Aoxue has never seen the real object of this kind of mechanism, but he has seen similar things in books about mechanism techniques. Unlocking it in the prescribed way will trigger the hidden mechanism in the box and destroy all the contents in the box. It is a box used to store extremely secret items.

Because of the ingenious and cumbersome workmanship of this object, I am afraid that there are only ten of them in the entire Beichen country. If Yunyan can get one of them, she can already show her ability.

Ying Si used a very special technique to slap on the strange mechanism. The steps were extremely complicated. With Lin Aoxue's unforgettable memory, after Ying Si opened the box, she almost forgot the steps. Lin Aoxue felt embarrassed and stopped exploring the process of Ying Si opening the box.

But after seeing Ying Si unlocking the lock on the box, he changed his hands and handed the wooden box to Lin Aoxue, saying:

"Open it and see."

Lin Aoxue waited for a long time, and finally wanted to reveal the contents of the secret box. She took a deep breath, held the wooden box in her hand, and gently lifted the lid of the box. With the faint light of the fire box, she could clearly see the quiet things in the box. .

There were two jade pendants, a golden key, and a letter placed side by side in the box.

Lin Aoxue's eyes narrowed, she recognized the golden key, but the red thread on the golden key was not removed, it was the one in Yunyan's hand.

The handwriting on that letter was delicate, Lin Aoxue had seen Yunyan's handwriting, so he recognized the handwriting, it was Yunyan's own handwriting.

On it was neatly written a few small characters, saying:

Aoxue personally opened.

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and listened to the rumble of her heartbeat in her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at Ying Si suspiciously, and asked:

"Since it happened suddenly, why did Yan'er keep these things with me?"

Ying Si's face was very cold. He raised his head and glanced at Lin Aoxue, then quickly lowered his eyes and replied:

"Because Miss Yun made preparations earlier, if something happens to her, she will have someone give these things to you."

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue's breathing was a little painful, her brows were slightly frowned, and she felt that the air pouring into her lungs between her nostrils seemed to be enveloped by a blade-like cold current, making her chest full of cold wind, as if being stabbed by thousands of ice knives. It was like cutting, colic, and almost instantly burst into tears.

Her hands trembled a little, she took out the letter from the wooden box, carefully opened the wax oil on the seal, took out a thin piece of letter paper inside, and slowly rolled it out.

There are only a few lines on the letter, and the handwriting is soft and graceful. Under the weak firelight, it is like a touch of warm sun in the cold winter, just like the feeling that Yunyan brings to Lin Aoxue.

Muxue:

See the words face to face.

There are two jades in the box, one of which is the order of the shadow guard, and there are eleven people in the shadow, all of whom are the concubine's cronies, trustworthy, and used.

In the shadows, Liu Shang stayed in Beijing, and the remaining five hid in Xingbeiguan, and could send Sisi to contact him.
