At the same time, Ji Zheng was lying in a river valley, his body was covered with bruises, blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes, and the pebbles under him were oozing damp cold, which made him feel a headache, and the experience of the past few days also came to mind.

Three days ago, Ji Zheng and Li Shi and his party left Changyi County and marched in the direction of Yiyang Village. When it gets dark, everyone camps in an open field, ready to rest for the night. Ji Zheng was suspicious of Li Shi and worried that they would secretly cause harm, so he stayed on the first shift of Dongya Station.

Ji Zheng felt tired all afternoon, and as soon as he lay down, he felt even more tired and unbearable, and fell asleep in a daze. In his sleep, he vaguely heard some movements, which projected uneasy pictures in the dream, Ji Zheng instinctively felt anxious, but his body seemed to be in a deep nightmare, and he just couldn't wake up. Suddenly, the self in the dream was hit by a heavy stone, crushing his limbs, and this painful feeling made Ji Zheng wake up suddenly.

Through the faint morning light and flickering torches, Ji Zheng saw clearly that it was not the heavy stones that pressed on him, but the group of government soldiers. The soldiers held Ji Zheng down, then tied him up and threw him on the ground. At this time, Ji Zheng found that Dong Ya was also tied aside, and he had a cloth belt in his mouth, so he could only make a vague sound anxiously.

"I can't imagine that Uncle Ben still has this hand, right?" Li Shi walked up to Dongya's side, squatted down and untied the cloth strap that was strangled in Dongya's mouth.

Winter tooth cried and said, "It's all my fault, I'm asleep...... Woo...... I'm so sleepy. ”

"Haha, sleepy? Sleepy, that's right! Otherwise, won't the drugs you had at lunch be in vain? Li Shi said, pacing to Ji Zheng's side, and then pulled out a blackened dagger and gently pressed it on Ji Zheng's face.

"Hehe, Ji Zheng, what did I say in the morning? I'll have to clean you up, just wait. With that, Li Shi used the dagger to cut Ji Zheng's forearm, blood dripped along the tip of the knife, and Ji Zheng felt a hot pain in the wound, but soon the pain disappeared, leaving only a continuous numbness.

Ji Zheng glared at Li Shi, suppressed his anger and said: "Li Shi, since I am planted in your hands, you can kill or chop as you like, but you must not delay the rescue!" ”

"Hahaha! Ji Zheng, Ji Zheng, you are really a righteous gentleman! I am dying, and I can't forget those villagers. Li Shi said, took the dagger back, and wiped it on a rag.

"Humph! There is a personal grudge between you and me, and it is a public matter to defend the land and the people! ”

"Yo, you have a clear distinction between public and private."

"But if you dare to kill me, my brother will definitely not let you go!"

"Kill you? Ha ha! How could I kill someone? I have the best heart. ”

"Then if it's because of what I did to you during the day, you can take revenge now, do it! I don't care afterwards! ”

"Hey, you don't care, and I don't care about it, I'm not such a cautious person, how can I account for those little things?"

"And what do you want?!"

"How? Oh, hehe, no, just an old friend who wants to meet you. ”

"Old friends?"

Ji Zheng was very puzzled, looked up, and saw a person who stepped forward and took two steps forward and stood in front of Li Shi, and that person was carrying two short knives on his back.

"You're the twin-bladed assassin!"

"Yes, I was the one who fought you a few days ago." Twin Blades whispered.

Ji Zheng was extremely resentful, he struggled hard to break free from the rope, but it was always in vain, he glared at Li Shi and scolded: "Li Shi! What's going on! Why is he here?! Aren't you going to defend the land and the people, aren't you going to save people! Is this a crime in the name of the government?! ”

"Hey, don't worry, Ji Zheng, I still have to go to Yiyang Village, I must be saved!"

"And what's going on with him!?"

"Hehe, I'm going to save people, I have to save the 'Yin Soldier' captured by you! Haha, as for this one, oh, by the way, you don't know each other, do you? Come on, let me introduce you to you, this is Ji Zheng, and this is the first swordsman in Yue - Qingmen. ”

Qingmen saluted Ji Zheng and said, "Mr. Ji, I've offended a lot. ”

Ji Zheng turned his head disdainfully, "Hmph, officials and bandits collude!" Kill or chop as you please! ”

Qingmen saw that Ji Zheng didn't want to say more, so he turned around and said a few words to Li Shi, Li Shi nodded while listening, and then walked forward and said to Ji Zheng: "Ji Zheng, brother, I have to go to defend the land and the people, so I won't play with you, you follow Qingmen, don't make trouble, this brother is not easy to mess with, haha!" ”

Then, Li Shi motioned for his men to untie the ropes on Ji Zheng and Dongya's feet, but still tied their hands in front of him.

"Brother Qingmen, you really look up to them, if you want me to say, you will tie them to the back of the horse, you ride the horse in front, let them follow behind, haha, let these two bastards suffer a little."

Qingmen ignored Li Shi, and only signaled the government soldiers to help the two get on the horse.

The two soldiers stepped forward and helped Ji Zheng and Dongya to get on their horses respectively. At this moment, Ji Zheng suddenly exerted his strength, slammed into the government soldier who helped him on the horse, and kicked him in the stomach, and then raised his hands above his head and smashed him in the face.

"This bastard, I don't know how to lift, give it to me!"

Li Shi beckoned his subordinates to step forward, and in a blink of an eye, he firmly held Ji Zheng down and kicked him.

Seeing this, Qingmen hurriedly stepped forward to push away the government soldiers, protected Ji Zheng, and then exclaimed: "Mr. Ji is really good at kung fu!" ”

"Hmph." Ji Zheng glanced at Qingmen and snorted contemptuously.

"Please get on the horse." After that, Qingmen Fuhimezheng got on the horse.

Then the government soldiers used a long rope to tie the knots on Ji Zheng and Dongya's hands, Ji Zheng was in front, Dongya was behind, and then tied the long rope to the back of Qingmen's horse.

"Brother Qingmen is really giving you face, hum." Li Shi muttered to Ji Zheng angrily, and then said to his subordinates: "Go!" Brothers, let's go to Yiyang Village to work! ”

So, Li Shi led his men to the direction of Yiyang Village, while Qingmen tied Ji Zheng and Dongya and drove their horses to the south.

Qingmen led Ji Zheng and Dongya in the barren mountains and mountains for most of the day, and in the afternoon, Ji Zheng suddenly shouted at Qingmen: "Hey, swordsman, I'm thirsty." ”

Qingmen stopped his horse, took out the water bag and handed it to Ji Zheng, Ji Zheng took two sips and said, "My brother has to drink some too, you take the water bag to him." ”

Aoto nodded, grabbed the reins, turned his horse, and paced two steps back. At the moment when Qingmen and Ji Zheng passed by, and their vision was contradictory, Ji Zheng suddenly broke away from the rope, grabbed Qingmen, dragged him off the horse, and the two fell heavily to the ground. At this time, Ji Zheng had completely taken the initiative, he strangled Qingmen's neck with one hand, and pressed Qingmen's throat with a hairpin with the other.

"Hehe, it's worthy of Mr. Ji, I'm still thinking about what way you will use and when to do it, this hairpin should be taken off when you are fighting the soldiers, and it is really difficult for you to break such a thick rope." Qingmen said admiringly.

"Don't talk nonsense, let Winter Ya go back and report the news, or you'll die."

"Of course you can, I don't care about the life and death of Wu Guoren. The more we disdain to be in the company of these guys in Li City, and we have no choice but to do it now. ”

"What a last resort, I think you are just complicit and embarrassed!"

"Hehe, it's useless to talk more." As he spoke, Qingmen took out a dagger from his waist and threw it to Winter Ya, "Untie yourself and report quickly, if you are fast, you should be able to catch up before the massacre starts tomorrow night." ”

Dongya pulled out the dagger from the leather sheath, cut the rope, and then looked at Ji Zheng and said, "Brother Ji Zheng, let's kill this guy and go back to the village together." ”

Ji Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "You go back quickly to report the news, there are still some things here, I have to go and find out." ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask, you go back quickly!"

"No! Brother Ji Zheng, let's go back together! ”

"Hurry back and report the news! Go find Zhang Xun! Tell him that Li Shi and Yin Bing are in the same group! Just go! The lives of the whole village are in your hands! ”

"Yes...... But...... I ......"

"Quick!"

Dongya was puzzled, he didn't understand why Ji Zheng didn't go back with him, he was worried about Ji Zheng and wanted to accompany Ji Zheng, but he didn't dare to delay the news, he looked at Ji Zheng hesitantly and anxiously, almost crying.

Ji Zheng looked at Winter Ya with firm eyes, "Winter Ya, there are some things that you must do, and some things that must be done by me." You'll understand today's events later, so don't worry about me. Go, go save the village! ”

Dongya had no choice but to be ruthless and rushed towards Yiyang Village.

"Brother Ji Zheng, I will save you as soon as possible!"

"Okay, goodbye." Looking at the distant figure of Winter Tooth, Ji Zheng smiled and muttered to himself.

After that, Qingmen took Ji Zheng for a day and two nights, and in the early morning of the eighth day of the fourth month, when the pink morning glow appeared on the horizon, the two followed the river and entered a river valley.

The exhaustion of the past few days made Ji Zheng very weak, and he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and fell off his horse.

Ji Zheng was lying on the pebbles, with multiple contusions on his body, and blood oozing from the corners of his eyes. Qingmen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, picked up Ji Zheng, he lifted Ji Zheng's sleeve, and found that Ji Zheng's arm was covered with red measles, and he was hot, he quickly put his forehead on Ji Zheng's forehead, obviously aware that Ji Zheng was having a high fever.

Qingmen hurriedly took out a water bag, pinched Ji Zheng's mouth and poured it in. Ji Zheng choked, coughed twice, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

"It's okay, it's not your blood, it's chicken blood." Aoto said, pointing to the water bag.

"I know." Ji Zheng whispered weakly.

"Oh? Sir knows? ”

"Hmph." Ji Zheng glanced at Qingmen with little energy.

"Mr. Ji, it's really offended, if it weren't for forcing you to come here with me, I wouldn't have let Li Shi poison you with this water herb." Aoto said apologetically.

Ji Zheng glanced at Qingmen contemptuously, "Hmph, the person who did the next thing did what he did." ”

"Mr. Ji, what we have done is a last resort, you will understand later!"

"Huh! As a last resort? Forget it......" Ji Zheng just wanted to refute, but he was so weak that he couldn't speak.

Qingmen was very embarrassed at this time, and he didn't know how to persuade Ji Zheng for a while, so he had to take care of himself and said: "Mr. Ji, don't worry, I will detoxify you when you get to the place!" This Angelica herb poison is one of the world's strange poisons, specially made of Angelica Angelica herb and three-flavor herbs, when the blood is poisoned, after the person is poisoned, the body will be full of red measles, need to drink blood to relieve, but there is no antidote within ten days, it will be poisoned and died. If it is to be eradicated, only the person who makes the poison can correspond to the three-flavor herbs used in the production of drugs, and make a special antidote, so the bell must also be tied to the bell. ”

"That's a lot of nonsense, if I didn't know, you would have died."

"Oh? So? Mr. Ji is also proficient in poisons? Ayoto asked in surprise.

"Heh......" Ji Zheng glanced at Qingmen weakly, very disdainful.

"Could it be ......" Qingmen seemed to suddenly understand something, and pulled Ji Zheng's back collar.

"You!" Ji Zheng tried his best to freeze his back, trying to stop Aoto from pulling his clothes, but Aoto still ripped off Ji Zheng's back collar, exposing most of Ji Zheng's back.

"Sure enough, after the detoxification of this water dahur poison, although there is no sequelae, the measles in the vest will not fade, and it will still leave some traces, it turns out that Mr. Ji has been poisoned by this poison, no wonder it is so clear."

Qingmen said, sorted out Ji Zheng's clothes, and then respectfully helped Ji Zheng onto the horse, "Sir, let's hurry." ”

"Hmph, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd, don't forget, I'll still kill you!"
