This cave is really hidden, and when we ran out, I realized that the exit of the cave was actually on the face of a cliff, and it could not reach the sky or the ground. There was a loud rumbling sound behind him, and Duan Zhiyi grabbed the rope ladder hanging above the cliff and said, "Mrs. Yun's leg is injured, and Young Master Ying carries Madam Yun up first." "I think they used this rope ladder to hang down to the entrance of the cave before. Wraith nodded, put me on his back, and grabbed the rope ladder. I turned my head to look at the bleeding wound on the Ghostface's left shoulder, and frowned, "What about you?" Duan Zhiyi glanced at the ghost face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Yun, we will go up later." ”

There was another shaking of the mountain, and several people were a little unstable on their feet, and the Stygian Flame quickly grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up as dexterously as an ape, and after a while he was already standing at the top of the cliff, standing on the top of the cliff, he could still feel the faint shaking of the ground from time to time, and the collapse in the cave must have been very violent. The Dark Flame turned around on my back, and I was relieved to see Duan Zhiyi and the Ghost-faced Man climbing up one after another, although the ground under my feet was still trembling slightly, but at the top of the cliff, I saw the falling white clouds, and felt the slightest cool breeze, so that I really had the feeling of escaping.

"Where are we now?" I asked softly, I don't know if this cliff is far from the capital? How do we get back?

"This is the main peak of Sijing Mountain, and it is still more than 180 miles away from Jingshi." Duan Zhiyi replied. I was taken aback: "More than one hundred and eighty miles? "So far? This ancient road is not comparable to the big road in my previous life, let alone such a rugged and difficult mountain road, I frowned and said, "How did you come here?" How did you find us? How do we get back? ”

"How did we find Madame, it's hard to say, I'll tell Madam carefully when we return to Jingshi. As for how we go back......" Duan Zhiyi smiled, "How we came, how to go back!" After Duan Zhiyi finished speaking, he pointed ahead, I turned my head and looked, and I was immediately overjoyed: "Little black and white? ”

"Master Hou knows that Madame went to the Taimiao Temple and lent it to us." Duan Zhiyi smiled slightly, "If it weren't for the two gods of the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy for us to get here quickly." ”

Although Duan Zhiyi was made an official by the emperor as the deputy supervisor of the Tiantai, because he did not have a foothold in Beijing, I still let him stay in the Hou Mansion to live, so he was able to bring Xiao Hei Xiaobai to save us this time. While talking, the two horses have run in front of us, Xiao Bai rubbed my head affectionately, I touched Xiao Bai's face, and saw Xiao Hei squirting softly impatiently, I couldn't help but be angry and funny. But then again, Xiao Hei's wild surname is untamable, and he has never been very close to him, so how could he let them ride it this time? I said curiously: "It's rare for Xiao Hei to let Mr. Duan get close." ”

Duan Zhiyi didn't say a word, but saw Xiao Hei come up to the ghost-faced man, stared at his wound, hissed softly, and touched his uninjured shoulder again, looking extremely concerned. I was amazed, and before I could think about how Xiao Hei could be so close to this stranger, I only heard the Stygian Flame say: "Sister, it's getting dark, let's get out of here first." ”

I nodded, but I heard the ghost-faced man hiss, "There's something to do, so I'll leave here." ”

I was stunned, and when I saw that the ghost-faced man had already turned around to leave, I hurriedly said, "Engong stays!" ”

His body paused, and I said with concern: "Why doesn't Engong go down the mountain with us?" If you are injured, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible for treatment. ”

The ghost-faced man didn't turn around, turned his back to me and said, "I can handle this injury myself, Mrs. Yun doesn't have to worry about it." Leave. As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost-faced man ran straight forward. Eun Gong ...... "I called out in a panic, but the ghost-faced man didn't stop, and the figure quickly disappeared into the woods. I turned my head to look at Duan Zhiyi: "Mr. Duan, this ......"

"Mrs. Yun, my junior brother has a strange temper, he has always been a loner, and he is not good at dealing with people, you don't have to mind." Duan Zhiyi smiled, "Madame should rush back to Jingshi as soon as possible, so as to save the Hou Ye from worrying." ”

Also, when I return to the Hou Mansion, I will find Duan Zhiyi and ask me to understand, who is this ghost-faced man who has repeatedly saved me? Duan Zhiyi's relaxed expression seemed to be sure that his junior brother's injury was not a big deal. The Flame carefully placed me on White's back and jumped onto the horse. Duan Zhiyi grabbed Xiao Hei's reins and jumped onto its back. Xiao Hei took a few steps on the spot, but he didn't resist much, and let him ride on his back, and then the two horses carried us back at a gallop.

When I arrived in the capital, it was already midnight, and the city gate was closed. The strange thing is that the lights above the city gate are bright, and there are many more officers and soldiers defending the city than in the past, and the security is extremely tight. The Yun family's iron guards were guarding outside the city gate, and when they saw us coming back, they were overjoyed, and I was also overjoyed: "Yun Qian, how did you get out of the Taimiao?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, it was Mr. Duan who helped us get out of trouble." Yun Qian seemed to be greatly relieved to see that I was safe and sound. I looked back at Duan Zhiyi: "Mr. Duan, I don't thank you for my kindness, Mr. will have a place for the concubine in the future, and the concubine will definitely help you." ”

"Mrs. Yun is serious." Duan Zhiyi's expression was calm. Yun Qian and the others thought that they had already communicated with the officers and soldiers defending the city, and the city gate slowly opened, and we entered the city smoothly. After entering the city, we found that the city was much quieter than usual, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the noisy scene in the market was gone, but from time to time there were officers and soldiers patrolling the night, seeing our chariots and horses, and asking loudly, Yun Qian reported the name of the Yongle Marquis Mansion, showed an ultimatum, and was let go, and repeatedly warned to return to the house quickly, not to stay on the street.

"What happened in Kyochu?" When the team of officers and soldiers left, I was surprised.

"Mrs. Hui, it was said that there was an earthquake in Beijing before, rumors spread in Beijing, and people were panicked, and the nine kings ordered martial law in the whole city, and the people were not allowed to gather to talk falsely." Yun Qian looked around and said in a low voice.

As I expected before rushing to the Taimiao, I frowned: "Let's go back to the house first." "It's not a good place to talk, I'll ask again when I get home.

I didn't want to alarm people to go back home quietly, but I didn't want Xiaohong and they didn't sleep at all, but when they heard that I was back, they rushed out excitedly. After Duan Zhiyi returned home, it was inconvenient to follow him again, so he went back to the room. Stygian Flame carried me back to the room, Ning'er and Xin'er hurried to help me prepare hot water, Stygian Flame put me on the bed, Xiaohong saw my injured leg, tears immediately rolled out, I looked at their red eyes a little weakly, and smiled: "It's okay, pack up and go back to sleep."

"My sister's leg injury needs to be treated immediately." Xiaohong wiped her eyes and said, "I'll go get a doctor." ”

"No need, I'll help my sister with medicine and bandage. Sister Xiaohong went to my room and got my medicine box. "Stygian Flame helped me take off my shoes, rolled up my trouser legs, revealing the seemingly hideous wound on my calf, but it had long ceased to bleed, he took the hot towel that Ning Er wrung out, and gently wiped the dried blood stains on my leg, carefully avoiding my wounds, I forgot, what Stygian Flame learned from Mr. Fu is not only Dao Gu Technique, but also medical skills.

I looked at Stygian's lowered face, his expression calm and calm as he focused on the wound on my leg, almost completely different from when I first met him in Cangdu, his blue hair hanging down from his forehead...... Blue hair! I stiffened my body in an instant, what happened to me before, it was too thrilling and bizarre, so I didn't have time to think about it, the hair of the Stygian Flame turned back to blue, whether it had something to do with the combination of black dragon and jade? My hand touched my neck, my neck was bare, and the black dragon jade that had been with me since I came to this time and space was really gone. Stygian Flame, since the jade has become one with you, have you also recovered your old memories? For a moment, I didn't know whether I was flustered or happy, and I looked at his focused expression in a daze: "Stygian Flame ......"

"Did I hurt you?" He looked up and said nervously. I quickly shook my head, met the eyes of the Stygian Flame, there was a trace of apprehension, in those eyes, except for concern, there were not many complicated emotions, I was nervous and tentative: "Stygian Flame, have you remembered the past?" ”

"What's the matter?" He asked casually, and naturally handed the towel in his hand to Ning'er. Xiaohong's medicine box was brought, he quickly took it, opened the medicine box, turned out a few bottles and cans, pulled out the stopper, took out the medicine bowl, poured the medicine powder from several medicine bottles together, and poured some medicine juice I don't know what it was to mix into medicine mud, and used bamboo slices to dial it to my wound.

When he did this, he did it in one go, and he didn't seem to be bothered by my questioning at all. I frowned, didn't the Stygian Flame regain its memory yet? But isn't that soul already back in him? Could it be that the Black Dragon Jade was not the key to recovering his memory? I was thinking about it, but I heard Stygian Flame say in surprise, "Sister, aren't you in pain?" ”

"What?" When I came back to my senses, I realized that the medicine applied to my leg had burned the wound and was scorching, and I couldn't help but gasp. Stygian Flame breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "I also said that my sister's leg didn't react at all, and it scared me to death." He said as he took gauze and helped me bandage my leg wound. Xiaohong said worriedly: "Stygian Flame, how long will it take for my sister's leg injury to heal?" There won't be any aftermath, right? ”

"It's just a skin injury, although the wound looks terrible, but it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, and it won't leave any aftermath." Stygian Flame wrapped the wound and smiled, "When my sister's wound is healed, I will help my sister adjust the medicine to remove the scar to ensure that this scar will not leave traces." ”

"That's fine." I smiled faintly and said to Xiaohong and the two maids, "Okay, you're tired too, go to sleep." ”

"Then I'll go back to my room." Stygian began to pack up the medicine box, "Sister, have a good rest. ”

"Stygian Flame ......," I looked at him, especially suspicious, "do you really not think of anything?" ”

"Sister refers to my lost memory?" Stygian blinked, a calm expression, "I really didn't think of anything. ”

"But how did you suddenly be able to deal with Maha?" I bit my lip and expressed the doubts in my heart, "How can you break his hexery?" ”

He was stunned, thought about it, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "My sister really stopped me." I don't actually know what's going on, but I just came out of the earth fire pool, my body seems to have become very strange, and there seems to be a steady stream of power gushing out of my body, and when I faced that Maha, I didn't know what was going on, so I had already rushed up, and now in retrospect, it seemed that my body knew what I was doing better than my mind, and before I could react, I had already fought with him. ”

Is that so? Could it be that it was just because the Black Dragon Jade merged with him and restored some abilities in his body, but it hadn't activated his memories yet? I saw him thinking distressedly, sighed, and stopped asking, patted his hand and said, "I know, you are also tired, go back and rest, what is there another day." ”

When they all left the room, I lay on the bed and thought about what had happened in the past few days, and I couldn't help but be afraid when I thought of Maha's horror. I wonder what happened to the Emperor and General Shan? What is the situation in Beijing these days? And Duan Zhiyi and that ghost-faced man, why did they suddenly come to save me? The Ghostface rescued me again and again, every time when I was at my most dangerous, it could not be a coincidence, who the hell was he? And his injury, I don't know what happened...... There are more and more things in my mind, more and more chaotic, tossing and turning, and I am getting more and more sober, until after the third watch, I can't hold my tired eyelids and fall asleep.
