Chapter 167: The Dark Brothers

As for the matter of Lan Ziyue and Zhou Tianhong, Zhou Tianqi disdained to describe it carefully, and only said that Zhou Tianhong helped Lan Ziyue detoxify, and Lan Ziyue was afraid that she would not be able to get out of bed in a short time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lin Wan laughed when she heard this, and she didn't have the shyness and reserve of a girl at all.

After the court this morning, Zhou Changan summoned Zhou Tianqi alone and gave him four secret guards.

Among the four black clothes that Lin Wan saw before, the two who led the way in front were the people sent by the Shadowless Pavilion to pick them up, and the ones who pressed the formation in the back were two of the secret guards that Zhou Chang'an had given to Zhou Tianqi today.

When Lin Wan heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Are they the emperor's people, why would you let them go with us?"

Zhou Tianqi shook his head and said, "No, they are my people." Do you remember the last time you helped me detoxify the night?"

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Remember, Gale said that he was very strong in martial arts, how could your father give him to you, and how could he be your person?"

Zhou Tianqi frowned slightly, and his voice was a little low: "To be precise, they are my mother's concubine." ā€

Lin Wan was taken aback when she heard this, and didn't ask any more, waiting for Zhou Tianqi to say slowly.

The two secret guards that Zhou Changan gave to Zhou Tianqi were none other than Dark Night and his brother Dark Black. The two brothers turned out to be members of the Feng family's army, and when Feng Xueyu married into the palace, General Feng gave Feng Xueyu the two secret guards with the highest martial arts around him.

Zhou Changan has always known about the existence of the two brothers, Dark and Night, but there are many crises in the palace, and Zhou Changan has to acquiesce to them hiding in the palace in order to protect Feng Xueyu.

It wasn't until after Feng Xueyu's death that Zhou Changan expected that the two brothers would take Zhou Tianqi away, so he set a trap and used Zhou Tianqi as a coercion to capture the two alive.

In addition, the two of them were forced to take a chronic poison, and every year on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were worse than dead. Only by getting Zhou Changan's antidote can he temporarily relieve the pain and save his life.

Over the past eight years, they have also tried many ways to detoxify, but they have never succeeded. And due to years of illness and torture, the two have been unrecognizable and no longer human.

Last time, Zhou Tianqi needed a person with strong martial arts skills to expel poison for him, and of course Zhou Changan's first thought was darkness and night, because they were people who would definitely spare no effort for Zhou Tianqi.

And this time, Zhou Changan knew that Zhou Tianqi's trip to Dongli was very dangerous. To send someone to protect him, the best people are naturally these two brothers.

There is still more than a month to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Zhou Changan is very confident that the dark and dark night will not betray him, and he also sent two of his own henchmen to accompany them.

But what Zhou Changan didn't expect was that Dark and Dark Night didn't want to live this kind of life anymore, and kept this life just to wait for the little master to come back.

Now that Zhou Tianqi has returned, of course they are not willing to be used by Zhou Changan anymore, let alone spy on Zhou Tianqi for him.

Not long after entering the woods, the two secret guards discovered the people of the Shadowless Pavilion, but before they could report to Zhou Chang'an, the dark and dark night took advantage of their unpreparedness and killed them with one blow, leaving no trace.

When the two brothers Dark and Dark Night stood in front of Zhou Tianqi, Zhou Tianqi didn't dare to recognize each other at all, and the strong and heroic Dark brothers turned out to be like this. Skinny and scarred, even his voice became old and hoarse, so much so that Zhou Tianqi had seen Dark Night twice before, and he didn't dare to think when he heard Dark Night's name, it was really him!

After careful identification, Zhou Tianqi still vaguely saw the familiar traces of the year, the two of them should be regarded as Zhou Tianqi's enlightenment teachers in martial arts, Zhou Tianqi liked to be carried around by them when he was a child.

Listening to them talk about what happened over the years, and also said some things that only the three of them knew about back then, Zhou Tianqi couldn't help but shed tears. But the two brothers Dark and Dark Night had already burst into tears, and the joy in the tears could not be faked.

When Lin Wan heard this, she was also full of tears, turned her head and saw the tears in Zhou Tianqi's eyes, her heart was even more sour, and she whispered comfortingly: "There is still more than a month before August 15, we will definitely be able to think of a way to treat them,"

Zhou Tianqi nodded and responded, "Well, I will definitely not let them die." ā€

After another while, Zhou Tianqi continued: "I have already contacted Changfeng yesterday and asked him to leave first with Jin Pengzhan. Now Jin Pengzhan is an important bargaining chip for us to trade with Li Xingyu, and we can't afford to lose. At the current rate, we will be able to reach Yicheng before dawn, and we will be able to join them before dark. ā€

Lin Wan caught that there seemed to be something hidden in Zhou Tianqi's words, and asked, "What deal?"

Zhou Tianqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander Zhao was captured by Li Xingyu, and the four female killers of the Shadowless Pavilion were all killed by Li Xingyu. But you don't have to worry, Commander Zhao is fine for the time being, because Li Xingyu drank the potion you gave, and now he has lost all his skills, and he will definitely leave Commander Zhao's life in exchange for the antidote. ā€

Lin Wan frowned, but now it is useless to say anything, she can only rush to Dongli first, she nodded and asked, "Is there any news of the hidden soul?"

Zhou Tianqi shook his head and said, "There is no news of the hidden soul, but he did not fall into the hands of Li Xingyu, and no one knows where he is." ā€

Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "He should be in the Eastern Qi army, because I handed over the talisman to him, he will not act rashly, he will only hide in the Eastern Qi army and wait for us." ā€

Zhou Tianqi nodded, and said softly: "Quick, I want to enter the city before dawn." ā€

"Yes. A few voices were heard in the distance.

A group of thirteen men and eleven horses galloped through the pre-dawn darkness. Through the woods, over the mountains, wading through the river, before the dawn, they finally arrived at the gate of Yicheng.

When the veterans guarding the city opened the heavy city gate, the first group to enter the city was this group of extraordinary, well-dressed rangers.

It was just dawn and the streets were sparsely populated. The young man carrying the load of goods hurried to the market like a fly, the men of the shops along the street swept the floor in front of the door with sleepy eyes, and a group of Jianghu people rode slowly into the city on tall horses, without attracting their attention.

A two-storey inn on the street has just opened two door panels, and the inn is called "Youkelai", which looks inconspicuous, but the young man outside the door is in good spirits and extremely excited. I saw that he was not in a hurry to open the store, but stood in front of the door and looked around.

When the young man heard the sound of horses' hooves, he hurriedly looked forward, and when he saw the person who was coming, his face was happy, but he hurriedly turned around and went into the shop.

When he led the shopkeeper out, Lin Wan and his party happened to walk to the door of the store.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a little fortune, with a white face and a slight beard, a warm smile, no different from an ordinary innkeeper, nodding and welcoming the guests into the store. (To be continued.) )
