Mirror Lake.

Great Sword Gate.

Qingliang Peak, peach blossom forest.

He Xian has always been a little restless in the past few days, and it seems that something bad is about to happen.

Some time ago, after he sent those people from Jin Guo away, he went outside to do some errands, and heard some things in Fuzhou before coming back.

There was not much time at that time, and he didn't have time to verify the authenticity of the news himself. However, after he came back, he immediately secretly arranged for someone to investigate, and no news has come back yet.

He Xian waited a little anxiously.

At this time, the night sky is pitch black, and it is difficult to see the stars and moon.

It is said that it is already snowing outside.

It's just that on this island, because of the large array of mountain gates, the temperature does not fluctuate much in the four seasons, and it is impossible to see snow.

Why don't you go for yourself? by the way, you can see this snow scene that is always intoxicating. He Xian looked up at the night sky and thought silently.

At this moment, a piece of jade pendant hanging from his waist suddenly lit up with a white light.

He Xian noticed it and hurriedly took off the jade pendant. Unexpectedly, as soon as he held it in his hand, the jade pendant made a soft click. Then, the white light faded, and there was already an extra crack on the smooth jade surface.

He Xian looked at this crack and frowned.

This jade pendant is a child and mother pendant.

The one he has here is the mother pendant, and the other one is the one he gave to the young man who mistakenly entered the door with the pseudonym Lin Xuan nearly a month ago.

At that time, he sent those people of the Jin Kingdom away, and when he was on the boat, the third prince of the Jin Kingdom suddenly proposed to let the young man go to save a young general who was captured by the Yuan army at that time, and he was also the eldest brother of the young man.

At that time, although he felt that the plan was not very safe, Elder Jin, who was also on the ship, did not say anything against it, and he could not say anything. But he got along with the young man for many days, and he couldn't bear to be pushed out like this to risk life and death, and he was unprepared for a while, so he had to give him the pair of children and mothers he carried.

It's just that although Zi Pei can block the full force of the master of the Helicus Realm, he can't be used as an ordinary person's sword attack. He also knew this, but it happened suddenly, and he didn't have anything suitable on him except this Zipei, so he could only give Zipei to him to calm himself.

Later, he went to Fuzhou to run errands, and was relieved to hear that the young general had already returned. It's just that since the person has been rescued, then he should be safe, why is this Zipei broken again at this time?

When He Xian thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped, and his mind swept past the things he had heard when he was in Fuzhou before.

Could it be related to those things?

He Xian's face changed suddenly.

After hesitating for a moment, his mind moved, and a sword light swept out of the room behind him, He Xian took a step, and he reached the sword light and rushed to the sky.

......

......

Night.

In Sujiang City, the lights are still bright.

Approaching the end of the year, red lanterns are hung everywhere on this street, and the river that winds through the city is full of lotus lanterns used by ordinary people to pray for blessings.

In the lotus lantern, the candlelight flickered and swayed, reflecting the rippling river surface like a dream.

From time to time, there are small flower boats crowding the lotus lanterns all over the river, along the river, all the way to the south, leaving the sound of silk and bamboo.

On the riverbank, there are vendors in patches, eating, playing, using, everything.

The flow of people is like weaving, and the hustle and bustle is constant.

Sujiang City, the city that never sleeps.

North of the city, Xufu.

Compared with the festive and lively outside, this Xu Mansion is extremely quiet and even a little depressing.

In the backyard, several maidservants stood at the door of an independent courtyard, sobbing silently.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in the small courtyard behind them, and they were walking towards the door. These people hurriedly raised their hands to wipe away the tears on their faces, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm and stood at the door with their heads bowed, waiting for the footsteps to come out. Soon, three people came out one after another.

At the head was a tall, burly man, and next to him walked an old man with gray hair and a medicine box on his back. After these two people, followed by a middle-aged man with a knife, his face expressionless.

"Old Huang, my wife, she ......" After the burly man walked out of the gate of the small courtyard for a distance, he stopped and asked the old man next to him softly, but halfway through the conversation, he couldn't say any more, and looked at the old man with a look of hope, hoping that he could give him good news.

The old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Madame, since she was pregnant, the fetal image has not been very stable, and this time she was frightened and injured, and the fetus in the womb may be difficult to save." I hope General Xu will forgive his sins, the old man did his best!"

The burly man, who was called General Xu by the old man, heard this, and a look of pain crossed his face. After lowering his head and being silent for a long time, he sniffed, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, looked at the old man, and said, "Old Huang is serious." ”

"Don't be too sad, General. The old man patted his arm as he spoke, and comforted, "You and your wife are still young, and there is still a chance." Later, I will write Zhang Fangzi, and there are some matters that need to be paid attention to in the diet and daily life in the near future, and the general asked his subordinates to regulate his wife's body according to what I wrote, and it should not be a big problem. In addition, this lady has just lost a fetus, and in her mood, she still needs more care from the general. If you are in a good mood, your body will get better faster. ”

General Xu nodded, then turned his head and instructed the middle-aged man behind him, "Uncle Yan, you take Huang Lao to write a prescription, and let someone clean up a room and come out." As he spoke, he looked at Huang Lao again and said, "It's not early, Huang Lao will stay in the mansion, and I'll let Uncle Yan send you out of the city tomorrow morning, how about it?"

Huang Lao nodded and agreed.

"Thank you for your hard work today. General Xu said again.

Huang Lao smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "General, you don't have to be polite. ”

"Uncle Yan, you take Huang Lao to write the recipe first. General Xu looked at Huang Laohou and turned his head and ordered Uncle Yan.

The two left quickly, and after General Xu stood in place for a while, he took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and returned to the small courtyard.

In the room, a woman was lying on the bed with her pale face and eyes closed, and a maid in pink was twisting a handkerchief and preparing to wipe the cold sweat on the forehead of the woman on the bed.

After General Xu passed, he whispered, "I'll come." So saying, he stretched out his hand and took the handkerchief from the handmaiden.

The maidservant hurriedly bowed to the side.

General Xu sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at the pale and bloodless cheeks of the woman on the bed, his eyes full of distress.

After a long time, he got up from the side of the bed, and after a few words to the maidservant, he left the room.

Outside the house, Uncle Yan, who had accompanied Huang Lao before, had already returned and was waiting for him. When he saw him come out, he immediately greeted him. The two walked out in silence in tacit understanding, until they reached a long distance from this small courtyard, and Uncle Yan spoke, "The person has been found, in the west of the city." ”

When General Xu heard this, his expression sank suddenly, "Go!"

The words fell, and the steps under his feet suddenly became faster.

Uncle Yan frowned, and after quickly following up, he said in a low voice, "I think this matter may be a trap." ”

General Xu snorted angrily, "Even if it's a trap, what if he kills me, I want him to pay for his life!"

Uncle Yan glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I understand the general's mood." Now those few people, with Su Cheng staring at them, can't run away. I have already arranged for people to go back to the barracks to transfer people, and the general will wait a little longer, and when the people arrive, it will not be too late to go over. ”

General Xu was silent, and walked briskly to the front yard.

Uncle Yan couldn't persuade him more, so he could only follow first.

After arriving at the front yard, General Xu looked at the closed gate, hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked Uncle Yan, "How long have the people sent to the barracks gone?"

Uncle Yan replied, "As soon as we come back, I will arrange for someone to go." ”

When General Xu heard this, he frowned and said, "That's almost half an hour." ”

When Uncle Yan heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he still said, "General, wait." If after a stick of incense, no one has come, we will go directly to the west of the city. ”

General Xu glanced at him and said nothing.

A stick of incense time passed quickly.

The person the two were waiting for was still nowhere to be found.

General Xu shouted to prepare his horse and strode out.

Outside the door, the family had already led the horse out of the side door. After the two turned over and went straight to the west of the city.

Not long after the two left, someone came to the gate of Xu's mansion.

Xuan Cheng, who was in the dust, carried Shen Muping, who looked aggrieved, walked to the door of the Xu Mansion, looked up at the plaque on the door, shrugged his shoulders, and asked, "Is this it?"

Shen Muping raised his head with some difficulty, squinted his eyes, looked at the plaque that was a little blurry in the dim light, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It should be." ”

After hearing this, Xuan Cheng stepped forward, walked up the steps, walked to the closed door, reached out to hold the copper ring on it, and knocked it twice.

The door soon opened, and with a squeak, a crack was opened, and a face loomed behind the door, and the eyes swept around vigilantly before falling on them, and seeing that it was a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, and carrying a person on his back, his eyes immediately became unkind, and he asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Xuan Cheng replied: "We are here to find Xu Lei." ”

When the person behind the door heard the word Xu Lei, his color suddenly changed, but then he didn't open the door, but slammed the door shut.

Xuan Cheng looked dazed.

Shen Muping wanted to say something, but before the words could come out, he coughed first, and as soon as he coughed twice, blood spurted out, and he saw that Xuan Cheng's body and face were covered with blood foam.

Xuan Cheng wiped his face, and after finding out that it was blood, he hurriedly put Shen Muping off his back, and while checking his pulse, he whispered in his mouth, "You must not have anything to do, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your third brother!"

Shen Muping sat by the door, his head gradually tilted, and the spirit that he had been holding on to finally couldn't hold on.

Seeing him faint, Xuan Cheng became more and more anxious, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and took out a small jade bottle from his chest. After opening it, he carefully leaned to Shen Muping's lips and poured a drop of the red liquid into his mouth.

As soon as the red liquid entered the mouth, footsteps could be heard from behind the door.

When Xuan Cheng heard it, he quickly put the bottle away, and then carried Shen Muping on his back.

The door creaked open again.

What came out was a man who looked like a butler.

After looking at Xuan Cheng and Shen Muping on his back vigilantly, he asked with a calm face, "Who are you?

Shen Muping had already fainted, so he had to answer Xuan Cheng.

He thought for a moment and said, "We are General Shen Weishen's people, and we have important things to discuss with your general." Is your general at home?"

As soon as the housekeeper heard Shen Wei's name, his expression immediately changed. It's just that the vigilance in his eyes is still unabated, and he obviously doesn't believe it very much. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "He's just out! Do you have any identification?"

It's hard to be honest. He is a Taoist priest, if he hadn't saved Shen Muzhi by chance, he would have no relationship with Shen Wei and his family, so what kind of identity certificate could he have.

If Shen Muping was awake, this matter should not be difficult. Or if Xu Lei is at home, he should be able to recognize Shen Muping as soon as he sees it.

But now one is out and the other is unconscious, what can I do?

Xuan Cheng thought for a while, and the housekeeper was a little impatient. Suddenly, he put Shen Muping down, and while letting the housekeeper help him, he reached out and rummaged through Shen Muping's body, and soon found something. It's a golden tiger talisman.

The housekeeper was obviously also knowledgeable, and when he saw this tiger talisman, his face suddenly changed. hurriedly looked at both sides of the door, saw that no one was paying attention, and hurriedly welcomed the two into the house, and then hurriedly ordered the family to invite Huang Lao, who had just rested.
