(949) Suspicion
- "You'll believe it." Shi Jing, whose eyes were slightly drooping, raised his head with a deep groan, "Unless you don't want to live through this year." β
A hint of awe-inspiring flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she didn't speak.
"If you don't want to admit it, then I'll do it for you and repeat it again." Shi Jing's groan just now, obviously he had made a draft in his stomach, and now he first intercepted Concubine De's anger with an alarmist word, and then slowly said the prepared rhetoric, "Maybe you still don't know why Lin Shan took that girl back to Beijing three years ago." This matter is full of contradictory logic, and I have been guessing and deliberating for a long time before I can figure out a few ideas.
First, he was ready to return the girl to His Majesty three years ago, but something went wrong with His Majesty's side;
Second, he knew that he would not be able to hand it over, and he would still throw it away, even if he might be confident enough that even if he was not in Kyoto and only left the girl, there would be no problems;
Thirdly, he had a reason to go around Kyoto before setting off, and on His Majesty's side, there was a mission that he had to lead and nothing could stop him, including the girl. So he left this burden in Kyoto, because without his care, the safest place in the world for that girl would be Kyoto, which was not ten miles away from his biological father. β
After these long words, Concubine De's eyes were already covered with a layer of foggy complicated feelings, and she seemed to want to use her own way of understanding to smooth out Shi Jing's words, but unexpectedly, her thoughts fell into chaos.
And this was only a slight pause when he said this, and Shi Jing quickly continued: "Regarding the first article, I haven't seen it through yet, but this is a choice that should have been opposed by Lin Shan, but in the end he still agreed, which can only show that this issue is probably related to state affairs." As for the latter two, they can be seen at a glance. However, it is only possible to see clearly, and it is difficult to start more. I'm sure you're already clear by now, albeit with my help. Your people have infiltrated the interior of the Song Mansion, and this secret institution that His Majesty has been operating for several years is almost paralyzed. But don't forget, Your Majesty still has five groups in his hands. You may not be able to fully master these five groups in your lifetime, and as long as these five groups are nailed to Kyoto, you will not have a chance to make a big splash. Even if the inside of the Song Mansion is rotten, it will be cleaned and eliminated by five groups of people at most, and the rotten juice will not be allowed to overflow and pollute other places. β
Concubine De quietly listened to Shi Jing say this, she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "So." The shadow man who stalked Qingxia wasn't actually yours? β
"What shadow man?" Shi Jing's eyes moved.
"According to the reply of the girl I sent to the Song Mansion to spread the news, the person who followed her was as fast as a shadow and as a charm, like a shadow reflected on the ground, almost unable to get rid of it, so the girl gave him a pronoun for a shadow man." Concubine De thought for a while and then added: "Qing Xia said that the person showed his face directly to her, and I thought he was your person at first glance. β
"There's no need for my guards to follow your people." Shi Jing shook his head slightly. However, when he heard Concubine De say this, he was also aroused by a hint of inquiry, so he asked again: "What does your person see what he looks like?" β
Listen to Shi Jing ask about this. Concubine De's face suddenly became full of doubts, and she shook her head slightly and said, "This is the strangest point." According to Qing Xia's reply, although this shadow man is not masked. But he appears to be wearing a mask on one side of his face. The material of the mask looked real and fake on closer inspection, ugly than the disguise, but more conforming to the skin of the face than the mask. β
"Oh......" Shi Jing tilted his head slightly, he really remembered, and said calmly: "He is the person in the fifth group, in fact, you have seen it a long time ago, but I don't know his identity." β
Concubine De was stunned: "When have I ever seen this kind of person?" β
There seems to be a general mask planted on his face, such a strange person, Concubine De doesn't believe that she will not leave an impression if she sees it. And think about it from a different angle. She probably didn't have the chance to see such an ugly and strange face in the palace.
Shi Jing did not elaborate on this issue, and he quickly turned back to the topic. He said slowly, "Anyway, I'm here today. Just a few words to say to you. Stop immediately, if you still can't stop wanting to do it, then wait at least another six days, maybe a few days longer, the key to time is to see when Li Gai leaves Beijing. β
"Ligai is leaving too?" Judging from Concubine De's expression when she spoke, it seemed as if she had heard the news for the first time.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to hide it from you." Shi Jing's gaze at Concubine De changed as quickly as he could not find traces, "As soon as Li Gai leaves, two of the five groups in his hand will most likely be returned to His Majesty, or replaced by someone to lead him." In any case, in the days before and after he left, the inherent pattern of the five groups will inevitably fluctuate, and that time is the best opportunity to skip the eyeliner of the five groups. β
After a slight pause, he added: "Even if you don't say whether the five groups will make a mistake in the inside, just say that Li Gai will leave, which will weaken the strength of the five groups the most, and even His Majesty's side may be affected." β
Thinking of her husband's safety, Concubine De couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Counting, this is the first time that Li Gai has been in Beijing with His Majesty for thirteen years, and he has made a mistake. After sighing, she looked at Shi Jing and asked, "Did you go to Qingchuan?" β
"It doesn't seem like you're completely unaware." Regarding Concubine De's question, Shi Jing nodded slightly to express his certainty, and he quickly continued: "When the war over there is together, what happens in Kyoto again, as long as it is not directly related to His Majesty, then it is impossible for Lin Shan or Li Gai to withdraw halfway at this juncture." β
"Are you sure?" was repeatedly tricked by Shi Jing, and Concubine De no longer fully believed what he said to him.
"Everything involving the military is irrevocable as soon as the order is issued, and in order to manage tens of thousands of soldiers, it is necessary to achieve discipline like iron and orders like a mountain. Once they have set out, it will be impossible to return halfway. Shi Jing said this slowly, and his tone gradually cleared up again, "But when they are about to set off before they leave, all the hidden guards in the capital are in the most sensitive stage, and it is best not to touch them at this time, otherwise in order to cut off the troubles, during this period, His Majesty will be more ruthless against a heresy."
To know. You have waited for more than ten years for the opportunity to get rid of that person, but His Majesty's determination to fight Qingchuan has been in his heart since he was still in the north, and he is more urgent than you at this time. There should be no room for distraction. β
Concubine De gradually truly realized that if she made a rash move today. When the matter is revealed, what a bleak ending he may get. She couldn't help but feel a chill grow on her back, and a cluster of tiny tentacles was growing upwards, scraping her spine and making her shiver.
Maybe Wang Chinian will not punish her in the relationship with her Xiao Wanting husband and wife, but the result of squatting in the cold palace is certain. And if she is imprisoned, she loses her status. The killers she raised had lost control, so I am afraid that all the things she had done before would soon be figured out by the members of the five groups.
At that point, she didn't know if she was qualified to live in the cold palace, but might be thrown into the prison to be next to the ratsβbut it would still be a little better than the death of the wine.
Thinking of this, Concubine De had already clenched her teeth unconsciously, and she could even hear the sound of two rows of silver-like teeth polishing in her mouth.
Shi Jing looked at her frightened appearance, knowing that she had finally listened to his persuasion, and a stone hanging in her heart finally fell.
After a slight hesitation, Shi Jing said so many words since he entered this hall. For the first time, he softened his tone and comforted Concubine De: "Don't worry too much, stopping at this time will not make Your Majesty suspicious of you." β
Concubine De suddenly let out a long sigh. muttered: "Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Qingxia, if she hadn't changed my order without permission, my people would have sent it out now, and I wouldn't have been able to collect it carefully." β
When she said this, the meaning of listening to the persuasion to stop was very clear.
Shi Jing saw that Concubine De's affairs had been completed, and he had a heavy official business, so he didn't have time to stay here longer, so he was ready to leave.
Before leaving. He remembered something again, stopped and turned back and said, "The shadow man you talked about." When I get back, I'll focus on keeping an eye out for my people in the Commandery's Palace. You don't have to worry too much about that. But your girl named Qingxia, she has looked at the person head-on, so she hasn't been going out lately. For the five groups, sometimes there is no difference between masking and not masking, and the same can be found in the crowd. β
After Shi Jing said this, he raised his hand and lifted the horned hat on the cloak, covered his head, covered half of his eyebrows, and walked out quickly with his head slightly lowered.
The four people who came with the ten generals on this trip saw that the master came out, and without any instructions, they immediately let go of the guards of Concubine De who were clamped in their hands, and the four people followed behind Shi Jing in two groups, and the backs of the five people quickly disappeared outside the door.
After they were all gone, Concubine De slowly walked out of the hall, looked at the direction of the five people leaving, and was faint for a while.
Watching the prime minister leave from afar, Qing Xia, the last maid who was waved away by Concubine De in the hall just now, was the first to approach at this time, and asked respectfully: "Master, what do you need the maidservant to do?" β
"No need." Concubine De opened her mouth lightly, her eyes swept over the guards who were standing a little crookedly in the front yard, and there were still two people who had fainted on the ground and had not woken up, her mind became a little impatient, and said, "What's the matter?" β
Qing Xia, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained: "They just suffered some contusions, and there is no big problem. Xiangye's attendants have already shown mercy to their subordinates, and their little bruises are not superficial and will not arouse suspicion. β
Qingxia herself has good martial arts, and she is a confidant maid that Concubine De trusts very much, after listening to her explanation, of course Concubine De will not question it, and she also saves an unspoken worry in her heart.
If these guards were beaten and their noses were swollen, and they even saw blood, she really had a headache how to take them back to the palace.
"Let......'s go," Concubine De let out a sigh of relief, preparing to end today's unpleasant trip outside the palace, and slowly instructed the maid Qing Xia beside her: "Call the head of the guard to invite Mrs. Mu and prepare to return to the palace." But as soon as you got the word, come over and follow me and leave nothing else. β
Qing Xia immediately agreed, bowed to Concubine De again, and then turned around and looked for the chief guard guarding outside the courtyard. I don't know if the prime minister's attendant didn't show mercy when he met with the chief guard who was guarding at the front, and beat him down or what, from the time the prime minister came here to his departure, the chief guard who had good martial arts never saw anyone.
If you can't control it, you can only destroy it directly!
Qing Xia said silently in her heart: I only hope that the master's trip outside the palace will be smooth, so I hope he is fine.

β¦β¦
Tak Yat House. C No. 3 private room.
When Folding Sword came back from the Qingfeng Pavilion, he saw that there was actually a banquet in Room C. 3.
What is a banquet? To put it simply, several small carved tables in the room are put together. It was put together into a large table with some uneven heights, and then more than 30 dishes of various exquisite side dishes were placed on it. It was so full that there was no place to put the wine cup.
"Yo, it seems that the lord has given you a lot of money to go out this time!" Fold the sword closed the door, walked straight to the table and sat down as he spoke, and subconsciously reached out to find wine, but he soon found that it was not impossible to put wine between the delicacies of this large table. Instead, he didn't drink at all.
He waved his hand a little consciously and boringly, and then lowered his arm and rested his palm flat on his lap, this sitting posture unconsciously revealed some of the aura of a general.
Looking at the few young people sitting around the table, Fold Sword smiled and said, "Didn't one of the two of you steal the bounty?" β
Sun Jin and Wu Qinan ignored him. The two of them were shaking a sharp dagger in their hands, looking at the plate of hibiscus chicken in front of them, as if they were considering which chicken leg to break first; Another man is holding a bamboo chopstick and is eating a steamed osmanthus fish with his younger sister Jin Ling. In this way, even Jin Ling has no time to fold the sword.
"Look at your eating appearance, are you rushing to eat the guillotine feast?" Fold Jian's gaze swept over the more than thirty delicate dishes on the table in front of him, and he saw that most of these dishes were greasy and fatty meat food. He regretted eating so many bean cakes before.
Such a sumptuous meal, even the New Year's banquet hosted by the sect cannot meet this standard. Folding the sword was a little suspicious, and he was used to speaking without words. Will it really be a prophecy?
With this thought, Folding Sword couldn't help but be secretly a little frightened.
At this moment, Fu Jian, who was sitting next to him, stopped chewing, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to the folding sword, and said, "This is the order conveyed by the envoy of the sect just now, you can also take a look!" β
In a copper incense burner carved with plum blossoms, a balm made from tulip petals slowly melts under a cluster of velvet lit from white charcoal. Wisps of invisible smoke wafted out of the incense burner and spread out in the private room of No. 3 C in Deyi Building. Be in this situation. It seems that there is no need to use wine to cheer up, and the feeling of fragrant fragrance makes people's hearts ethereal. Alienated from reality, teach people to get drunk on it.
The folding sword that had been waiting for a long time couldn't hold back for a while, swallowed half of the bean cake made by the tasteless fang on the table, and felt thirsty again, so he directly picked up the white jade fine porcelain teapot at hand, and aimed the beautiful arc of the pot at his stubble and green mouth, and poured it together.
Of course, the tea sent upstairs with the famous bean cake will not go anywhere, and the fresh and slightly sweet taste makes Zhijian suddenly have an idea in his heart: If the things that the sect wants to do when they send people into Beijing this time, if they are really done, does it mean that these beautiful things will soon be unable to escape a catastrophe caused by the change of dynasty and be washed away without room for maneuver?
However, he didn't have much time to think about this question, which might not have much meaning to him, when a somewhat familiar footstep suddenly sounded outside the door, walking on a beat that he was more familiar with, so he quickly dissipated a distracting thought in his mind and listened intently.
After counting the breaths, he opened the door with great skill, pulled the young man who had just walked to the door into the room, and then leaned a little sideways, pushing the door shut with the elbow of the hand that carried the teapot. This set of actions seems very simple and casual, but in fact, it is a condensation of a lot of experience, assuming that there are other people who walked with the young man just now, I am afraid that even if others can see the furnishings in the room after the door is opened, they will not be able to see the person who opened the door.
"Stunned, it's fast to snatch my teapot, do you still think I am your uncle?" The broken sword crossed Erlang's legs and wiped a handful of bean cake foam hanging from the corner of his mouth, so that he could look more like an uncle, and then he said to Sun Jin, who was already sitting opposite him: "Although I am only the executioner sent by the sect to pick you up, I am not useless, maybe one day you will have to help with your funeral." Therefore, you should know how to honor me well before you die, and I will sincerely help you keep the whole body after you die. β
Sun Jin, the young man with a purple shirt, only shook his eyebrows when he heard this, and did not say anything immediately, then he leaned forward slightly, reached out and took half of the finely ground pastry on the plate on the table, and put it in his mouth and melted it on the tip of his tongue. Only then did he wonder: "I didn't expect that the pastries produced by the tasteless workshop made by zuΓ² actually have a taste, but why is it that Uncle Shi, you eat half a plate, and your tongue may not be sweeter?" β
Broken Sword understood. Sun Jin was scolding him for his poisonous mouth, but he couldn't find the words he felt for a while. Among the three children he watched grow from ignorant boys to strong young men. It's the Sun Jin in front of him who has the sharpest mouth.
After thinking for a moment, he folded his sword and looked at Sun Jin, who stretched out his hand to the pastry again, and suddenly slapped his palm, and said at the same time: "Have you washed your hands?" β
Sun Jin's outstretched hand was suddenly slapped away, but his other hand reached out at this moment and directly copied the saucer. When the pastry plate was picked up by him, his people had already left their seats and flashed aside. Leisurely threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, moved his cheeks and said slowly: "Then did you shave yesterday?" β
Fold Jian touched his rough cheeks abruptly, shook his head slightly, and seemed to say to himself: "This is not the point to me......" His words suddenly paused at this point, and then he walked quickly to the door, reaching out and pressing on the edge of the door panel. It took a moment of holding his breath as he had done before opening the door the last time he had done before he used some strength in his hands, but only to pull the door open a crack.
A look of doubt flashed across the face of the broken sword that squinted and swept through the crack in the door, and the door was quickly completely torn open by him, and a blue-colored figure floated in like smoke.
"Uncle Shi." The blue-colored figure that floated into the room saluted the folding sword that had just turned around after closing the door.
This person is about the same age as Sun Jin in the house, and he is eighteen or nine years old. It's the prime of youth. However, if you take a closer look at this blue-clothed person, it should not be difficult for others to find. There are many differences between him and Sun Jin.
His demeanor is more gentle, and there is a little clarity in the depths of his eyes that are different from ordinary people, which seems to be natural. And this difference makes him feel a trace of coolness at the same time as the gaze of others, regardless of whether there is a habitual smile on his young face when he raises his eyes.
Therefore, he is accustomed to lowering his eyes slightly when communicating with people, which makes him seem to have a more humble attitude, even a self-leveling identity, but he does this only so that others will not misunderstand his natural eyes as another kind of less beautiful love. Habits go on and on, years later. Although he has grown up as an adult, this sense of humility has been shaped more deeply.
But at this time, the two people in the room were for him. It was as defenseless as possible, so he could lift his gaze a lot. A heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and the innate little ice-like thing in his eyes naturally seemed to be shrouded in the sun, turning into a clear spring, although it still didn't have much heat, but it was not so cold.
"It's really Qi Nan." Folding the sword once again glanced at the young man in blue shirt who was saluting him in front of him from bottom to top, and made sure that there was not a trace of disgrace on the young man's body at this time, his expression was a little softened, and he smiled softly and said, "It can't be so coincidental, right?" Are the elders of the sect who wrote the list really confused? β
"Uncle Shi said carefully, if Uncle Fu Jian hears it, I'm afraid it will be another thing for you." Listening to the broken sword joking at the elders in several important positions in the upper sect, Wu Qinan's face froze, "It's not a coincidence that we will meet here. I had just finished the affairs of Yuejiazhuang, and when I was about to return to the sect after washing, I suddenly received a direct task. It was Uncle Fu Jian who ordered the sect, and it is estimated that he will come here soon. β
After listening to Wu Qinan's narration, the broken sword touched his chin that had newly grown a piece of stubble, and said lightly: "That's really not a coincidence, Xiao Sun is basically the same as what you received." β
Wu Qinan nodded heartily, glanced sideways at Sun Jin, who had already put down the pastry plate and took a step closer to him, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Xiang Zhijian: "Uncle Shi, how is Xiao Ling's injury going?" β
With just one sentence, Folding Sword heard the answer he really wanted to know, and said bluntly: "I'm afraid he won't be able to help you." As soon as he said this, he paused as if he remembered something, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of self-talk in his tone, "Since this time the sect's summoning order was issued by Fu Jian, if Ling Li hadn't gone out of the Misty Mountain, Fu Jian would definitely have called him over." But in this way, this matter is a bit mysterious, what kind of big man is the mission goal that he is willing to announce when he can find all three of you? β
"This ......"
"What?"
I listened to the figuration of the sword. Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, the two young people, both looked slightly stunned, and asked in unison, "Didn't he even tell you?" β
According to the rules of the sect where the three people in the house are located, under normal circumstances. The sect will assign an additional receiver for each killer, and the task of the receiver is either to clean up the traces after the fact. Either that is to exercise the duty of extinguishing the mouth when the matter is defeated, so as to ensure that the task of defeat does not implicate the stability of the sect. Therefore, even if the respondent is not directly involved in the task information that the killer will perform, he or she is qualified to know the detailed information, and the receiver will often get this information first.
Half a month ago, the sword was still the answerer, and after the accident, the sword was transferred to Sun Jin's side. As the answerer, he was certainly entitled to get the information on the mission in Kyoto. If you count the generations, the folding sword and the Fu sword are still the same generations taught by a master, but Sun and Wu really can't imagine why Fu Jian would even fold the sword so tightly.
And if these two young people had to ponder the inducement of the strange place in this matter, they would only think of the same place again, that is, the contradiction between the two uncles who had broken the sword and the sword that had lasted for more than ten years.
These two people are very friendly to their peers, and even take care of the disciples of the sect below their seniority, but as long as these two people meet together, that friendly relationship will definitely dissipate instantly. Sun and Wu, including the disciples of their generation in the sect. After entering the sect, most of the memories of these two uncles had the impression that Fu Jian was talking to each other about folding swords. And although the broken sword did not return the mouth, it smiled back to the sword with a sense of contempt.
However, the contradiction between these two people has lasted for so many years, and no one clearly knows what the cause of this contradiction is.
But no matter what personal grievances there are between the broken sword and the Fu sword, the Fu sword should not involve this contradiction and affect the rules of the sect, which is a taboo in the sect. If Folding Sword is a narrow-minded person, as long as he immediately reports this matter to the sect, I am afraid that Fu Jian will soon be taken back by the elders of the sect law enforcement hall and locked up in that iron prison that starts from the flat ground. Eat for a few months in the wind and rain.
Folding the sword looked at the eyes of Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, the two young men who threw themselves at each other, how could he not know what they thought. No matter how anxious Fu Jian's temper is, he is the one who taught these two young men all their skills.
Silent sigh. A faint smile reappeared on Folding Jian's face, and he said slowly: "Although this guy Fu Jian is really inauthentic sometimes, but after so many years, when did I not let him?" If I really wanted to screw him up, wouldn't I have started a fight a long time ago, and you two boys would have had the right time to persuade me to fight. β
"Uncle Folding Sword, between you and Uncle Fu Jian...... Was there really a grudge? β
Hearing that Folding Sword took the initiative to talk about the matter between him and Fu Jian, although he expressed it more vaguely on the issue of grievances, this was an opportunity in Sun Jin's eyes, so he finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked a question.
In addition to Sun Jin himself, this issue is actually also a mystery in the sect, and many disciples of his generation want to know about it.
Although the sect they belong to is doing extremely cold things, the sect is very united, because the tasks they perform are either indisputable or full of danger, which is a great test of the cooperation of several people. It is also because of this that all the disciples in the sect have been instilled with a character that is positive and necessary to have, whether it is for the daily life of ordinary people or the hard work of people like them.
In the past, there were also people in the sect who asked the sword this question, and it is said that the questioner was often taught a bad lesson verbally, and of course the answer would not be asked. So for Sun Jin, who asked this question to Zhijian for the first time, he was actually very nervous at the moment.
And when Sun Jin's words fell, the smiling face of the broken sword really sank.
The hearts of the two young men, Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, also sank slightly, they couldn't imagine or accept that Uncle Breaking Sword, who usually treated them very kindly, suddenly reprimanded them angrily.
But at the moment when the atmosphere in the room was about to burst from the two loves, there was a sudden knock on the door from behind the folding sword. This knock was like someone pried open a side crack in the lid of a kettle that was about to boil, and the things that the three people in the room were holding on to their heads scattered in an instant.
Listening to the rhythm of the knocker's breathing through a door panel, Folding Sword thought that the guy from Deyi House had come upstairs to add hot tea, but when he opened the door and glanced at the young man standing at the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then pulled the young man indoors.
"Xiao Ling?"
Ling Li came here suddenly. Although he had been disguised in advance, Sun Jin in the house only needed three or two glances to recognize him. After a while, Wu Qinan also understood. And there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
These three young people had a close-knit life experience when they were young, and they also knew and trusted each other well. But two of them would be surprised by the sudden appearance of another companion, not only because Oriken had just said that this partner should have been recovering from his injuries and not participating in this mission in Kyoto, but also because of the sound of his footsteps, the rhythm of his breathing, and his face, all of which clearly revealed a side that was too different from his old life.
Compared with the sharp Li of the sect Yicheng, the Ling Li standing in front of them today seemed to have become another person.
He looked terrible at this point.
So when he came upstairs, he was almost ignored by the three people in the private room of No. 3 C in Deyi Building as ordinary tea guys in the building.
"Hey, hey, it's just easy. You don't have to paint your face like this, do you? Sun Jin said with a smile, and stretched out a finger to quickly scrape Ling Li's forehead, in front of his brotherly friend, he could not be too strict, but his mood at the moment was actually full of worry.
Ling Li didn't avoid him, which made him even more worried.
Feeling the coolness of his fingertips, he glanced at his nails again, and there was no fine powder left on them to hide his face, and the smile on Sun Jin's face finally sank completely.
The sharp appearance is not made of disfigurement powder, but the gray pallor that oozes from the inside of the skin. This really shocked Sun Jinguanzhi. It's just that I haven't seen him for half a month, and this one has been specially cultivated by Uncle Fu Jian, and he is also the strongest of the three of them who studied under Fu Jian. Now he was tossed into this appearance by a drop of snake king venom.
After being stunned for a moment, Sun Jin raised another hand and leaned towards Ling Li, but the direction changed, no longer to explore Ling Li's face, but the palm he was holding slightly by his side.
This time, Ling Li finally raised his hand and blocked his hand.
"Sun Jin, you can also see that my current state is not very good." It's not just bad state. To be precise, it should be so bad that it almost collapsed. The skin on his face was dry like fine sand after exposure to the sun, and his lips were gray and slightly bloodshot. just raised his hand to block Sun Jin, and even his breathing rhythm suddenly became a little chaotic.
It's a bump on the punch and kick. Originally, it was a game that these three young people usually played, but Ling Li now gave Sun Jin the feeling that he was a clay figure with more water and a lot of water, as long as he pushed it gently, he would collapse.
At this time, Wu Qinan, another young man in the room who had not made a sound, finally spoke up and asked Ling Li: "I didn't expect that the poison of the insect and snake envoy to be so powerful, but didn't Xiao Chung treat you?" Why do you look worse now than you did when my grandson and I visited you a few days ago? β
Although Wu Qinan does not talk as much as Sun Jin, and is used to facing outsiders with his eyes slightly lowered, his eyesight and mental cohesion are actually very strong. From the moment he recognized Ling Li's identity, his attention had not been taken away from Ling Li, but the conclusions drawn from the observation made him as worried as Sun Jin.
Without waiting for Ling Li to reply to the two of them, one of the hands of the broken sword reached over, grabbed one of Ling Li's shoulders, and asked with a condensed look, "Fu Jian asked you to come?" β
When his words fell into the ears of the two young people on the side, their eyes also sank.
Ling Li's physical condition is so poor, if Fu Jian can still ignore these and summon him to participate in the mission, Fu Jian's heart is inevitably too ruthless, and people can't help but feel a little cold. However, this thought did not stay in the hearts of the two young people for long, because if it weren't for the fact that Ling Li had a deep friendship with them like siblings, their way of thinking about things would not have been so emotional.
Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, who were accustomed to rational thinking in the depths of their hearts, quickly came back to their senses and realized that even if Fu Jian was really cold-hearted, he should not make such an arrangement that did not conform to his intelligence. With Ling Li's current state, let alone cutting off his head, even cutting a chicken and duck is a bit of a lack of strength, if he follows them to participate in the mission of this trip to Kyoto, I am afraid that it will be a disadvantage.
(To be continued)
