Chapter Forty-Nine: She Finally Returns to Dongchang

The fog in the black array was filled, sometimes scattered and sometimes converged, gushing out of terrifying figures, and then a turbid wave flew up and mediated to the sky, rising a hundred feet, like a burly ink dragon, with a whimpering roar leaning down towards Yuxuanji.

Yu Xuanji's two fingers tightened to the tongue and licked it, and then crossed the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, making the chaotic vision clear.

Under his feet, a round golden light magic array was born by itself, and the lotus pattern inside was circling. The jade mystery machine danced the long sword in the magic circle, the sword light was misty, and the silver mangs were cold, and a silver net was conjured up to restrain the "dragon".

As the sword swing became more and more rapid, the cage of light tightened more and more, and I heard the screams coming from the black mist, and then the black dragon's whole body slowly turned scarlet.

After a shock in the ear chakra, the red mist collapsed into a large number of dead soldiers wearing scarlet red clothes, wearing ghost faces and fighting with Jade Xuanji.

These people seem to be hallucinations but not hallucinations, they are silently attacked by the golden light of the magic circle after being hit by the sword of Yu Xuanji, and immediately disintegrate into a bloody blood mist, and then they will condense and attack in another place.

Not long after the fight, the golden lotus magic circle under Yu Xuanji's feet slowly disappeared, and he himself felt that his limbs were heavy, and he understood that his essence and spirit were being absorbed by this strange black array.

With a ruthless heart, Yu Xuanji clenched the palm of the hand that had just been scratched by the dagger, and pierced the slightly healed wound with his fingernails, and immediately blood poured out.

With the words in his mouth, the blood-colored symbol in the palm of his hand actually emitted a glowing red light in the dark space, aggressively igniting Yu Xuanji's eyes.

Seeing an opportunity, Yu Xuanji pushed out with a vertical palm in one direction.

The crimson light shone brightly, and the dead quickly disappeared with a crackling sound. Yu Xuanji suddenly felt that his physical strength was like an overdraft, and he was busy using a long sword to pestle the ground, and his eyelids were sore.

There was a person standing straight in front of him, and Yu Xuanji struggled to raise his head, stunned on the spot for a moment.

The man was dressed in armor, armed with a silver spear, and his face was kind and kind.

Yu Xuan's eyes were wet. At this time, he really remembered that the courtyard he saw when he entered the formation was his childhood home......

Father –

Looking at the incomparably familiar figure in front of him, his lips trembled and opened, and when he was about to exhale the voice, his heart suddenly woke up, it was that this magic circle was too powerful, and its evil power had invaded his spiritual world.

must break out of the formation as soon as possible, the person sitting in the formation must be Lei Huan, and he must not be allowed to glimpse his state of mind.

Yu Xuanji made up his mind, and the silver tooth bit his lip fiercely, and a mouthful of blood sprayed at the man, while swinging the sharp sword.

The man was on fire, screaming, and struggling.

His feet suddenly lost support, and the colorful beams of light in front of him changed in a fluttering manner, and when he woke up again, Yu Xuanji had already appeared outside the Swift Tower.

With a long sigh of relief, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, looked back at the pagoda with a dilapidated appearance, and immediately turned over and rode to the hill.

In the woods, Leng Qingtang had already received two Dao Tong and others.

When they went out of the battle, Gu Yunxi and Lu Qiange's men exhausted all their physical strength, and she was also injured on her left shoulder.

Lu Qiange was also wasted, but he didn't leave because he was waiting for the Kunhuang Island map. Just when he was disrespectful to Leng Qingtang, he was suddenly knocked unconscious by his palm.

At this time, Yu Xuanji arrived.

Seeing him, Leng Qingtang unceremoniously stretched out his hand:

"Bring it."

Yu Xuanji blinked slyly, took out the sheepskin from the placket, and handed it to Leng Qingtang very honestly, smiling:

"Why bother with a fake picture?"

Leng Qingtang said suddenly: "Even if it's fake, it's still useful." ”

As he spoke, he took the picture, and his palm was still stretched out towards Yu Xuanji.

"What else?" Yu Xuanji pursed his lips and smiled, expressing helplessness.

Leng Qingtang's face remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

Yu Xuanji's facial features moved, and his hands covered his chest:

"Don't!"

Leng Qingtang was in no mood to laugh with him, his face darkened, he took two steps forward, and directly opened the outer placket of Yu Xuanji's strong clothes.

Yu Xuanji struggled to resist:

"Hey, wait...... What's the hurry......"

"Less nonsense, bring it to you!"

Leng Qingtang pulled out his hand and held a medicine bottle tightly in the palm of his hand.

"That's the Soul Replenishing Pill refined from the thousand-year-old Ice Toad......"

Yu Xuanji was full of distress when he saw this, especially knowing that Leng Qingtang took it away for Gu Yunxi.

Leng Qingtang no longer argued with him, hugged Gu Yunxi and got on the horse, and said without replying:

"You've worked hard tonight, go back before dawn, and make contact later."

"Employ people facing forward, not backwards!"

Yu Xuanji complained, and rode the horse away first.

……

Inside the Swift Tower, a man wearing a dark Taoist uniform covered his chest with his hands, got up from the shadows, and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, he staggered down the stairs and muttered to himself:

"The person who broke the formation just now has some real kung fu...... Who is the man with a spear in his state of mind? ”

Stopping on the first floor, by the limited light of the candle, the Taoist priest looked at the dead bodies lying all over the ground. Covered in blood, his gaze was suddenly drawn to something shiny.

The Taoist priest frowned and approached the shining spot, and when he bent down to pick it up, he found that it was a slender steel needle, and the needle was green and fed with poison.

The Taoist priest squinted at the steel needle and smiled strangely, and said to himself:

"Sure enough...... Hongzun passed the key to you! ”

——

When I woke up from my coma, I saw orange light fluttering around me.

Leng Qingtang was sitting on the edge of the bed, his thick eyelashes reflected the firelight, and two soft and slender hazy shadows fell on his ivory cheeks, and the compassion and gentleness revealed in his shallow eyes ironed straight into Gu Yunxi's heart.

"You have injuries, don't move. Girl, do you still recognize this place? ”

Seeing that she was supporting and wanted to get up, Leng Qingtang stretched out his arms to help her, and silently looked at her in confusion, her eyes were hot and slightly red.

"This is the ...... of the East Factory"

As she spoke, a line of tears poured out of the girl's eyes uncontrollably. My heart was full of shock and joy, and my lips fluttered for a while, and I couldn't say half a word.

"Yes, it's your home too!"

Leng Qingtang's eyes were shining, and he clenched Gu Yunxi's hands, allowing her face to gradually blur in his eyes.

A year and a half of parting, life and death are unknown, how many long nights have been tossed and turned, and each other is bleak and sleepless. Now, she has finally returned to Dongchang!

Footsteps outside sounded like a lot of people, and then the door opened, and several figures scrambled into the room.

The person at the front is Qing'er, dressed in a purple suit and dressed like a handsome boy. Now she is a female brocade guard in the East Factory, studying under Cheng Wanli.

At the moment when she saw the strange girl on her young lady's bed, Qing'er only felt pain in her eyes, and she hid her face and tears fell like rain.

On the rainy night of that year, she left the Admiral's Mansion in order to find the antidote, and her resolute back and poignant and beautiful face were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Stunned, his eyes looked at the familiar faces, and seeing their expressions of surprise or regret, Gu Yunxi immediately realized something, and lowered his head sadly and helplessly.

Leng Qingtang took her little hand and thoughtfully coaxed:

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Xiao Xiaoshen's heart was impatiently excited, and he strode to the bed, ignoring the presence of the overseer, throwing away all the taboos of men and women, and instantly took Gu Yunxi into his arms, his bulging throat rolled, and two lines of tears fell between her green silks, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Sister Yunxi...... Welcome home. ”

"Brother Shen......"

Gu Yunxi cried out loud, and his voice was vaguely before, prompting too many people to cry.

How many scenes of midnight dreams are now in front of her, which makes her surprised and wonders whether all this is another dream or a real existence.

The people behind came over one after another and affectionately called her "Cloud Girl". She greeted Cheng Wanli, Zao Wou-Ki and others with tears in her eyes, and Shui Lingling's gaze finally fell on Yuan Qian.

"Tenth brother!"

Gu Yunxi looked up and down in surprise, and saw him standing in front of her unscathed, so excited that he couldn't express it:

"Are your hands and feet all right?"

The boy's appearance has not changed much, but his tone of voice is full of vicissitudes, his temperament is much more calm, and he no longer has the childishness he used to have.

"After being treated by Imperial Doctor Jiang, I can move as freely as before, but I can't practice martial arts. The overseer left me to work as a clerk in the East Factory, and I ...... with everyone I've been hoping you can come back soon......"

After Yuan Qian finished choking, he and Gu Yunxi joined hands and shed tears, and everyone got together and said something missing.

After that, Leng Qingtang was worried about Gu Yunxi's body, so he took everyone out, and asked them not to reveal Yunxi's current identity.

In the unusually quiet room, Leng Qingtang returned to the bedside and sat down, looked at Gu Yunxi silently for a moment, and said softly:

"When you were unconscious, Jiang Huai'an took your pulse and found that there was a slow-acting poison in your body. Did the man do it right? He robbed you to change your face, arranged you to enter the palace to find Kunhuang Island for him, and fed you poison just to contain you? ”

Gu Yunxi listened with his head immersed, his nose was red, his eyebrows twitched a few times and he exhaled heavily, but he finally didn't have the courage to face the overseer:

"At that time, I had to obey his orders for my life...... Overseer, I once helped him do wrong things that were not good for the East Factory, but I was unintentional......"

Leng Qingtang was clear, his eyes were blank, and his tone was not hurried or slow when he spoke:

"Last year's Daughter's Day, the masked man was injured but escaped in the palace, because of your help, you are his internal response in the palace."

Gu Yunxi suddenly felt his heartbeat skip a beat, quickly raised his head, and then avoided Leng Qingtang's calm but cold eyes, bit his lip and nodded vigorously:

"It's me, it's me who stabbed King Chen with a hairpin and led you to Wutong Garden."

Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes raised slightly, and there was a trace of decisive sharpness between his gestures.

That time in the open air late at night, he had doubts from the moment he found the jade piccolo that Gu Yunxi was carrying. It's just that in order to carry out the investigation smoothly, he deliberately covered it up in front of her without leaving a trace, and did it well.

Now that the truth is in front of him, he can't complain about her anyway. The reason why she has come to this point and done something involuntarily is the source of it?

After a moment of silence, Gu Yunxi wiped his eyes:

"Overseer, you'd better let me go back to the palace. If you let him know that I am in Dongchang, it will cause trouble for everyone. ”

Leng Qingtang frowned:

"Now, do you think you will go back to the palace? I don't believe there is no other eyeliner in the palace except you. Girl, Kunhuang Island is in Dongchang now, we can't escape, and the only way is to deal with him. Dongchang can protect you, only I can protect you. ”

Gu Yunxi shook his head and cried, and shrank at the end of the bed:

"I can't, I really can't, he won't give me back my freedom at all, he's the devil!"

Suddenly, a black shadow pressed over her, and she was hugged by the overseer's shoulders, and gently coaxed:

"Well, don't be afraid, we already have the map, just make detailed arrangements to eradicate them. Also, what kind of medicine did that person give you, you hand it over, and I will let Jiang Huai'an drill the camp and find a way to detoxify. ”

Leng Qingtang stretched out his hand to her, but she stared, her eyes were empty and hesitant for a moment.

"It's okay, you have a good rest first."

Withdraw, Leng Qingtang is no longer reluctant.

His girl had experienced too much suffering in the past, which made him pity her, and he didn't want to persecute her anymore. A gentle smile bloomed on his delicate lips, and he served her to lie down, pressing the soft and comfortable corners of the quilt for her.

"Good, good sleep, I'm going to the front hall to be busy for a while, and I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

Warm thin lips kissed Gu Yunxi's forehead, and he carefully instructed her before getting up and leaving.

When he saw Lao Cheng in the front hall of the East Factory, Leng Qingtang tightened the corners of his lips, approached him and whispered:

"Arrange for someone to release the news to Minglan and induce him to make a move."

Cheng Wanli hesitated for a moment, and immediately bowed his head:

"Yes."

Leng Qingtang slowly wandered with his hands, and a question that had almost been put aside for a long time suddenly slipped through his mind:

If King Chen's hand was injured by Yunxi, I asked at that time, why did he say that he was stabbed by a branch of the citrus tree?

He is a fool, how can he have such a deceitful mind?

ps: I don't know how many people can be touched by this chapter, but I cried when I wrote it. Feng'er feels that a person has been away from home for a long time, and after all kinds of hardships, he was finally able to see his relatives again, and the two phases will be such an emotional outpouring, if you have any better suggestions, you can tell Hao'er~
