This time, the nine tribulations didn't disappear for long, but when they came back, they looked wolf-bèi, Lin Yiyi never expected that her martial arts master would leave in a dashing manner and come back with an injury.

It was a sunny afternoon, the breeze blew slowly and took away a bit of stuffiness, Lin Yiyi carefully transplanted the orchid she inadvertently found on the mountain into a flower pot, in fact, she is not good at planting flowers, this time it was just a whim to see this orchid small and beautiful and tenacious vitality. Just as she was admiring her masterpiece with satisfaction, her master suddenly appeared in her sight, leaning weakly against the door, his entire arm covered in blood, and his coat was completely soaked with blood......

Lin Yiyi was startled at first, and then hurriedly stepped forward to support her master, not caring about the blood on her body, Lin Yiyi carefully carried her master's arm and walked into the house, fortunately, at this time, although Jiu Yan lost too much blood, she was not completely unconscious, and she could still walk, otherwise Lin Yiyi's small physique would not be able to support her at all.

Lin Yiyi helped Jiu Yan to the bed, and when she turned around to fetch water and medicine, Jiu Yan was completely unconscious, and a faint moan sounded out of her mouth, presumably it hurt a lot. Lin Yiyi wiped the cold sweat on her head for her master with a handkerchief, and then took off her blood-stained coat, and cut the cuffs of her undershirt to reveal a terrifying wound, the whole cut almost extended to the entire arm, no wonder she lost too much blood, but I don't know who can hurt her like this.

This wound is extremely deep, and there is no way to suture the wound now, Lin Yiyi can only use a wet towel to wipe the blood around the wound clean and then apply gold sore medicine, fortunately, this medicine is very good, and the wound will not bleed after a while. Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, if she really couldn't stop the bleeding, she really didn't know what to do. After taking care of the wound and making sure that the master was fine, Lin Yiyi went down the mountain to ask the doctor, although the bleeding of the wound had stopped, but such a deep wound was afraid that it would cause fever, so it was more reassuring to let the doctor take a look.

When the doctor came, he prescribed medicine, and even when he saw the blood-stained coat on the ground, he didn't ask anything, and it seemed that this man was also a smart man who knew what to ask and what not to ask. The doctor said that he should always pay attention to whether the patient had fever symptoms, so Lin Yiyi sat on the edge of the bed and touched her forehead from time to time.

It is said that sick people are more vulnerable, and it is true that people in coma have taken off their guards and the coldness around them, and they are no longer so difficult to approach. In the past, the master was always cold, and Lin Yiyi hadn't taken a good look at her master for so long, but now after a closer look, she found that her unsmiling master was actually an extremely beautiful woman. In fact, think about it, her master was Emperor Chongzhen's most beloved daughter before she became a monk, and as a princess of a country or a very favored princess, how bad can her appearance and temperament be. It's just that she is too strict on weekdays, and Zhou's cold temperament often makes people daunting, thus ignoring her beauty.

In the second half of the night, Jiuyan really began to have a fever, Lin Yiyi boiled the medicine left by the doctor and gave her to take it, and then stayed by her side all the time, putting the handkerchief wet on her forehead, and changing it from time to time. At this time, Jiu Yan was obviously burned, she seemed to have a nightmare, I saw her frowning, and she kept saying something in her mouth, Lin Yiyi put her ear to her mouth and found that she was calling her father and mother. Looking at her appearance, Lin Yiyi guessed that maybe she dreamed of the death of her parents on the day of the break, and from that day on, she changed from a tall golden branch and jade leaf to a remnant of the former dynasty, not only to endure the pain of losing her father and mother, but also to be cut off by her most beloved father, and she was also a poor person.

Lin Yiyi guarded the master all night until dawn before she fell asleep exhausted, the nine tribulations were woken up by thirst, excessive blood loss and burning all night made her throat dry to death. She struggled to open her eyes, the sunlight was a little harsh, and in a few blinks she finally adjusted to the sunlight. She wanted to sit up, but she was soft, tried several times but failed, and after a few more attempts, she finally gave up, and lay on the bed in a decadent manner, only then did she realize that the injury she had suffered this time was indeed quite serious. In fact, although the wound was deep and not fatal, she had not been able to stop the bleeding for herself in order to get rid of the man's pursuit. It took all her strength to get rid of the man and take her last breath to get home. This time she was careless, she didn't expect that there was such a master hidden in the Aobai Mansion. This time she went out to assassinate Aobai, she was still full of confidence, even if Aobai was known as the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, in her opinion, he was just a reckless man who had practiced foreign kung fu for a few days, who would have thought that Aobai actually hid a master in the mansion. Although that person's martial arts are on par with her, the bad thing is that she was too light at the beginning, and she was accidentally slashed by that person on the arm for a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately retreated, but the man still pursued relentlessly, if it weren't for the supernatural skills she practiced and the superior light skills, I am afraid that she would not be able to escape.

When she first woke up, she was still very confused, and when she woke up, she found that there was another person next to her breathing. She turned her head and found that her little apprentice was sitting on a small stool with her chin in her hands and her little head little by little, although she was in a coma last night, she was not completely unconscious, when she was in a daze, she felt that someone helped her clean her wounds, apply medicine, and wipe her sweat, but she didn't expect this person to be the apprentice she had never cared about.

Her feelings for her only apprentice are very complicated, and her original purpose in bringing Ah Ke out of the Pingxi Mansion was to hope that one day she could slash Wu Sangui and let that big traitor taste the feeling of dying in the hands of his loved ones. It's just that later she was also conflicted in her heart, because she knew that the child was actually innocent. If one day she knows that the person she killed is not the great enemy who killed her father and mother, but her own father, how should she deal with herself.

On the one hand, she unconsciously softened her heart towards Ah Ke, and on the other hand, she couldn't control herself from venting her hatred of Wu Sangui to this child, so she chose to escape in desperation. She treated Ah Ke indifferently, because she would not be reluctant if she didn't care, and she had never taught Ah Ke any mental techniques, and only gave her some specious sword moves, so that she could comfort herself that Ah Ke couldn't kill Wu Sangui because of her own bad martial arts.

Although she was a little covered, she had no other way, but she didn't expect that the little apprentice who had always been afraid of herself would take care of her so hard, and for a while, her heart that was occupied by hatred was a little loose. Maybe it was because Jiu Yan's gaze was too focused, or maybe it was because he was worried about his master's injury so he couldn't sleep steadily, Lin Yiyi woke up suddenly and saw that his master was already awake, and he was staring at her at this time and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, you're awake! If you are thirsty or not, I'll pour you a glass of water. After speaking, Lin Yiyi hurriedly picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and carefully fed it to Jiuyan.

The cool water slid down her dry throat, the stinging pain in her throat was relieved, and Jiu Yan looked at the apprentice's immature face and the dazzling blue and black eyes with a trace of warmth in her heart, and she said to Lin Yiyi in a rare calm tone: "I'm fine, you go to sleep!" ”

After listening to the words of the Nine Tribulations, Lin Yiyi shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, Master must be hungry after sleeping for so long, I'll go cook some porridge for Master, and the doctor said that Master wants to eat something light during this time." ”

Jiuyan didn't speak, until Lin Yiyi helped her tuck the corner of the quilt and turned around to go out, she sighed faintly, she always thought that since the day the country broke down, she had no relatives in this world, and she could only be alone for the rest of her life. Although she accepted Ah Ke as an apprentice, she never took her to heart, and Ah Ke was just a tool for revenge for her. It's just that I didn't expect her to be by her side when she was sick and helpless, which made her cold heart have a trace of warmth.

Although Lin Yiyi's skills in making other dishes still need to be improved, her skills in cooking porridge are definitely passable, and the white rice grains have been thoroughly cooked, giving off a faint porridge fragrance. Lin Yiyi took out a bowl of porridge and put it in the window to dissipate heat, and only brought the porridge to her master when the temperature was suitable.

Lin Yiyi originally planned to hand the bowl to her master, but soon she realized that she had made a mistake, she had forgotten that her master was one-armed, and now even the only intact hand was injured, how could she hold the bowl. Even if she put the bowl on the small table, it was impossible to pick it up and eat it with the injury of her master's arm, and the wound of the scarred arm would surely crack open as long as it moved.

Lin Yiyi secretly looked at Master's dark face, believing that she also realized this, "Put the porridge on the table, I'll eat it myself." After saying this calmly, Jiu Yan was about to get up, and the gauze wrapped on his arm just lifted immediately revealed a hint of red, obviously the wound had been cracked. Jiuyan pursed her lips and tightened her face, looking like she couldn't accept her powerlessness, Lin Yiyi sighed and felt helpless for this stubborn princess. She held the bowl in one hand and scooped it with a spoon in the other, handed it to the master's mouth, and said, "Master's hands are inconvenient, let the apprentice feed you!" ”

At this time, Jiu Yan's face was indescribably complicated, although she also knew that she was in her current state and there was no way to eat by herself, but this did not mean that she could easily accept being fed by her little apprentice who was only eight years old. After weighing the nine difficulties, I still can't accept it, if you are careful when moving your arms, there should be no problem, right? Thinking of this, she said to the little apprentice who was still holding the spoon stupidly: "I can eat it myself, you put down the porridge and go out!" ”

It's a pity that Lin Yiyi didn't buy it, she stubbornly sent the porridge to Jiu Yan's mouth again, and said with an expression of 'if you don't eat it, I won't leave': "If the master moves, the wound will crack again, if the wound is not good, the master can't do anything, it's better to let me do it now, as long as I recuperate well, the wound will heal in a few days, and then the master will be free." ”

Jiu Yan didn't expect that the apprentice who had always been introverted and timid in front of him actually told a bunch of big truths this time, and she thought about it carefully, if her injuries were not good, she would have to be taken care of sooner or later, so it was better to be obedient now and strive for an early recovery.

Lin Yiyi saw that the master's face softened, so he tentatively sent his hand forward, and sure enough, Jiuyan did not resist anymore but silently ate the porridge, and the master and apprentice fed one by one, and ate with tacit understanding, and soon a bowl of porridge was at the bottom. After Lin Yiyi finished feeding, she said hello to Jiu Yan and went to boil medicine for her, leaving only Jiu Yan in the room, with a dark and uncertain face.

Lin Yiyi walked out of the door and looked back at the hidden door and smiled proudly, as expected, people are the most vulnerable when they are sick, and it is too easy to brush up on good feelings at this time. It's not that Lin Yiyi wants to calculate the nine difficulties, it's really that she has no interest in being someone else's revenge tool at all, if she can take this opportunity to let the master treat her as a real disciple, it would be the best, if not, at least don't treat her as an enemy.

From that day on, Lin Yiyi took care of all the daily activities of the master, eating, sleeping, dressing, except for going to the toilet, Lin Yiyi almost never left the master's side. Lin Yiyi's intentions are not completely fruitless, at least the cold master in the past is now a lot softer towards her, and sometimes he will even take the initiative to say a word or two with her, Lin Yiyi knows that this is her previous practice.

During this time, Lin Yiyi has been taking advantage of the free time of the Nine Difficulties nap to practice the swordsmanship she learned before, although the sword moves handed over to her by the Nine Difficulties are chaotic, but they are the stunts of various major sects, but these sword moves do not belong to a set of swordsmanship, so it looks like a mess at all. It's just that since these sword moves can get the attention of various sects, they are naturally very powerful, and Lin Yiyi just changed these sword moves a little to make them coherent, which is a set of swordsmanship that is not insignificant. However, this work still needs to be carried out without the Nine Tribulations, because Lin Yiyi is not sure if the Nine Tribulations will stop her behavior if she is discovered.

Soon there was an answer to this matter, that day Lin Yiyi was studying his adapted swordsmanship in the courtyard as usual, but he didn't expect that the Nine Tribulations, who should have been asleep, actually appeared at the door. Lin Yiyi was startled, and hurriedly put down the sword in his hand and asked, "Why did Master get up?" Seeing the long sword that the master's eyes had been looking at her, Lin Yiyi hurriedly explained: "I'm bored, it's like practicing the swordsmanship that the master taught me." After finishing speaking, Lin Yiyi looked at the face of the Nine Tribulations that had not changed at all, and her heart was a little bottomless.

Jiu Yan looked at the apprentice in front of him with a complicated expression, she had never been official, just now she saw Lin Yiyi changing the sword moves she taught her, her first reaction was anger, how dare she modify the sword moves indiscriminately, although she did not give Ah Ke the heart method, but those sword moves are the famous skills of various sects, such sword moves are fused with the wisdom of many generations, how can they be changed casually. But the more she went on, the more she realized that she was wrong, and the original disconnected sword moves were perfectly integrated in the hands of her apprentice, and the power was amazing. Of course, she didn't forget the fact that her apprentice was only eight years old, which showed that her apprentice was actually a wizard who practiced martial arts.

"Master, are you angry?" Lin Yiyi asked anxiously, she was really a little weak-minded, and now she doesn't know what the Nine Tribulations think.

In fact, now the nine difficulties are also very entangled, she should have been angry, and the angry apprentice concealed it from her, but in fact, she was more surprised in her heart. Putting aside Ake's identity and not mentioning her qualifications, if there is such a successor, there is hope for the revival of the Iron Sword Gate, and her master Mu Sang Dao has the grace of reinvention for her, if she can find such a successor for the sect, she believes that her master Quanxia has knowledge and should rest in peace.

Originally, because Lin Yiyi took care of her, she had feelings for her, but now she has found a street for herself, so she decided to forget about Ake's life experience and only regard her as her apprentice. Thinking of these nine tribulations, her heart was unprecedentedly calm, so she opened her mouth and said to Lin Yiyi: "You have worshiped me as a teacher for so long and you don't know the name of our sect, our sect has always been good at using swords, and I will teach you the martial arts of this sect from tomorrow." Don't practice the swordsmanship just now, the ones you changed seem to be powerful, but in fact they are still at risk, and it's not safe. With that, she turned and went back to her room.

Lin Yiyi stood in place and only felt that happiness came too suddenly, but in the end, it was a good thing to be truly regarded as an apprentice by the master, Lin Yiyi smiled and she was no longer alone in the future.

Time flies like a white horse, and four years are fleeting. Today's Lin Yiyi has grown from a white and tender little bun to a slim little beauty, Lin Yiyi, who perfectly inherited Chen Yuanyuan's appearance, can now be said to be captivating the country and the city, fortunately, she is in a semi-secluded state with the nine difficulties, otherwise she will definitely attract a bunch of wild bees and butterflies. Even so, every time Lin Yiyi goes down the mountain, she will encounter all kinds of troubles, fortunately, Lin Yiyi is not a weak woman, if someone really provokes her, then it is not necessarily who is unlucky!

In the past four years, her relationship with her master has grown by leaps and bounds, and now they have regarded each other as their only relatives. Since the master found out that she was extremely talented, he no longer hid his secrets, but handed over the swordsmanship of the Iron Sword Sect and the light skills of the Divine Variety to her, and now Lin Yiyi's light skills are mainly Divine Changes, supplemented by Ling Bo and Weibu, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the entire rivers and lakes. Over the years, in addition to her life experience, she has been told all the nine difficulties, including her own identity as a princess of the previous dynasty, as well as her thoughts and plans to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. As a qualified and excellent apprentice, she naturally supports 120,000 points, although she knows that it is impossible to succeed in this matter, but people don't live for a thought, she can't ruthlessly break her master's only reason to live.

It's still the small yard, it's still the few simple thatched huts, and it's still the girl who practices martial arts in front of the house. One qiē seems to be the same as four years ago, but in fact, the sword that the little girl danced four years ago can only be regarded as a fist embroidered leg, and now her swordsmanship is not the same. The woman is like a frightening dragon, the sword is like a swimming dragon, fast and slow, the sword intent is continuous, and the tricks hide the killing opportunity. Jiu Yan stood aside and looked at his apprentice and nodded with satisfaction, the apprentice's qualifications are excellent, although he started late in terms of internal strength, he also came later, and he was not much worse than those who practiced since childhood, of course, she didn't know that this was the result of Lin Yiyi's deliberate clumsiness. In fact, for the Nine Difficulties, the better the apprentice, the more she regrets it, if she had no selfishness at the beginning, but taught the apprentice wholeheartedly, I am afraid that her current martial arts will definitely go to the next level. This seems to have become a knot in the heart of the Nine Tribulations, even if Lin Yiyi often comforts her, it can't make her feel relieved.

Seeing Lin Yiyi put down the long sword in her hand, Jiu Yan also came back to her senses, and thought about the news she got recently, she felt that she needed to go out. Jiu Yan will not leave without saying hello now, and when she comes back several times without saying goodbye, she can see her apprentice's sad and aggrieved look, and now she will say hello to her apprentice loudly every time she goes out, and sometimes she will take her apprentice out to see the world, but this time the matter is too dangerous, and she doesn't plan to take Lin Yiyi with her.

"Ake, I have to go out recently and may not come back so soon, you have to take care of yourself at home, and be careful in everything." Jiu Yan called Lin Yiyi over and told him uneasily.

"Master, I'm going out again, where are you going this time? I'm going with you too! Lin Yiyi took Jiu Trian's hand and said coquettishly, if she had done it before, she would definitely not have done it, but now she and Jiu Tribulation are not mother and daughter, but mother and daughter, and she can feel that Jiu Tribula likes her casual appearance very much, maybe this feels more homely.

"I went out this time because of the case of "History of the Ming Dynasty", the Zhuang family was wronged, and it was too hasty for the imperial court to take them all into custody and send them to the capital to await trial, and even if they arrived in the capital safely, I think it would not be a good result to wait for them. I wanted to follow them along the way and see if I could find a chance to get them out. Jiu Yan said to Lin Yiyi, every time she mentioned the imperial court, her master was a little out of control.

"Master, how can you be sure that Master Zhuang was wronged, in case he really plans to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore his sight?" Lin Yiyi was busy comforting her angry master and said casually.

"If they really have plans to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, then I should save them, how can I sit idly by and ignore my compatriots who have the idea of recovering the country." Nine Difficulties said as a matter of course.

Hehe, she actually forgot the identity of her master's princess in the previous dynasty, it seems that whether this dealer really wants to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, her master is in charge, and if the banker's people are left under heavy precautions, it is tantamount to slapping the court hard, how can her master give up such a good thing. Since there was no room for negotiation about the matter, Lin Yiyi naturally stopped it, but, "Master, I want to go with you." ”

"No way!" Jiu Yan replied without thinking, "This time I didn't go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, the imperial court attaches so much importance to the case of "History of the Ming Dynasty", there must be a lot of people escorting the dealer at that time, and it will be dangerous for you to go." ”

"Isn't there no danger for Master to go? Anyway, I'll be able to help you out, even if it's just an errand! Seeing that the nine difficulties were unmoved, Lin Yiyi turned her head and said, "If Master doesn't take me, I'll go by myself, unless you tie me with a rope." ”

Jiu Nan looked at Lin Yiyi with a smile and said, "You girl is talking nonsense, it's okay what I'm doing with you!" That's it, if you really want to go, just follow it, anyway, your light skills are excellent, and if you are really in danger, you can still escape. But having said that, you have to follow my orders when you act, and you can't mess around on your own, you know?"

"En, I know everything, Master, don't worry! I'm not going to hold you back. Lin Yiyi patted her chest and swore a promise.

Early the next morning, the two simply packed their luggage and rushed in the direction of the imperial court escorting the Zhuang family, but Lin Yiyi felt a little strange about the route they took, which seemed to be inconsistent with the escort route she inquired about. Although she was curious, seeing her master's confident appearance, Lin Yiyi couldn't help but ask.

However, Jiu Yan seemed to see Lin Yiyi's question, so he said: "I got the exact news that the man of the dealer has been secretly executed by Aobai, and as for the woman, it seems that she intends to be taken to the capital to be executed." In addition to the route we took, the imperial court also set several routes, but those were all smoke bombs they deliberately released in order to wipe out all the people who saved people. ”

Lin Yiyi didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in this rescue, "Master, then can you be sure that our direction is correct?"

"Of course, the person who delivered the news for me was absolutely loyal, and he would not sue me if it wasn't for the true news."

"Then how do we save people," Lin Yiyi asked curiously.

"We're going to get ahead of them and wait for them."

"But there are only two of us who can save people" Lin Yiyi was a little worried, after all, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to defeat a hundred with one.

"Of course you can, Ah Ke, don't you know that this time the imperial court is smart and thinks that the real escort route is very secret, and no one will know about it, so there are not many people they sent, so as long as we are surprised, we will definitely be able to save people." Jiu Yan explained, Lin Yi nodded clearly, this time the imperial court really died by itself, I really don't know where they got their confidence,

Lin Yiyi and Jiu Yan waited for a few days, and the little rabbit really appeared, as Jiu Yan said, there were not many soldiers escorting prisoners, and these soldiers knew at a glance that they were not elite. Lin Yiyi and Jiuyan glanced at each other and shot at the same time, and those soldiers didn't react for a while when they saw two people or two women coming out of the grass, which gave Lin Yiyi and them a chance. In a few moments the group of soldiers was subdued, and the rest of the dead died, and those who fled. Lin Yiyi instructed the women of the Zhuang family to tie up the group of soldiers with ropes, and then everyone followed the nine difficulties to an abandoned mansion.

Now that all the men in the Zhuang family have been killed, the remaining group of women are all headed by Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother. This third young grandmother is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, first the family is broken, then the person dies, the once prosperous dowry is now left with this group of old and weak women and children, but she did not give up and did not complain. She even wanted to worship Jiu Jian as a teacher, so that one day she could slash the enemy.

Of course, it is impossible for the Nine Tribulations to accept the Zhuang family as apprentices, but it is still possible to teach them some martial arts for self-preservation, perhaps because of sympathy for the Zhuang family, or because the experience of the Zhuang family resonates with her, and the Nine Tribulations are particularly attentive to teaching.

In this way, she and Jiu Yan stayed in this house temporarily, and when Jiu Yan taught them to practice martial arts, Lin Yiyi stood aside and watched, and sometimes she had to go down as a sparring partner, and when she encountered Jiu Yan and had no time, she also needed to make a cameo appearance as a teacher. Tong Guò got along during this time, and she found that the best understanding of the whole Zhuang family was not Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother, but a little maid named Shuang'er, that's right, it was the smart, well-behaved, gentle and kind Shuang'er who was loyal to Wei Xiaobao.

The first time I saw Shuang'er Lin Yiyi, I fell in love with this little girl with pure eyes, Shuang'er is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she works hard to practice martial arts in order to have the opportunity to avenge the Zhuang family. Under Lin Yiyi's deliberate friendship, they quickly became good friends, and Lin Yiyi also heard Wei Xiaobao's storage from Shuang'er's mouth, and it seems that Shuang'er has long been moved by Wei Xiaobao. It is impossible for her to marry Wei Xiaobao in this life, but he will have six other wives, should she help her sister control this flowery man, it is best to let him end up with Shuang'er, Lin Yiyi thought insidiously.
