The light emitted by the crescent moon shone on the silent river, and the shallow light swayed on the river.

It's the quietest corner of the city, and on the other side of the dock, a few worn-out boats are parked. Rows of willow trees on the shore, willow silk fluttering.

The surface of the water parted, and a young girl crawled out of the water weakly, stumbling through the willows. Behind her, the water flushed in the moonlight.

Her red dress was torn at the breasts, her breasts were exposed, her back and thighs were also torn, and she was stained with blood in the wetness. The girl in red, embarrassed, forcibly entered the dim alley, leaned on the adobe wall, one blood mark at a time, walked for a while, suddenly, leaned against the earthen wall, hugged her arms tightly with both hands, and panted weakly.

The thigh was cut by herself, but it was better, but the leg hit in the lower abdomen and the knife in the back almost killed her. The negative effects of forcibly using magic skills brought to her, coupled with the cold qi and blood loss caused by soaking in water, made her at this moment, every step was like stepping on pins and needles, cold to the bone, and convulsions in pain.

Will die...... Go on like this...... Will die here......

Step by step, walking forward, unable to ask for help, unable to let people find her. The spring note of the eyebrows and the platform fell here with a serious injury, this topic alone is enough to cause a sensation in the capital, bringing a lot of trouble, once she is given up by those behind her...... The consequences ......

The blood that kept overflowing stained the wet dress red, and the eyes were blurry. With his hands in the air, the whole person shook a few times, and stumbled forward under the traction of the sudden weightlessness. However, it cannot fall, and it cannot fall here in any way. The girl in the red dress is like stepping on cotton, suddenly top-heavy, and planted down......

"What's wrong with you, girl?" A broad chest, but at this time caught her. Two strong arms tightly supported her weak fragrant shoulders.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she looked up, and the figure that seemed to be familiar shook in her sight. The man saw her clearly, and his voice was a little hesitant: "Jianli...... Girl? This voice was obviously close to my ears, but it seemed to come from far away.

Be...... He......

The feeling of humiliation suddenly came to my heart, and I was so embarrassed by this person. The girl subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to push him away, but her legs were weak and she had fallen into his arms.

"Miss Jianli, don't move!" The man hurriedly hugged her, "You're so badly hurt! ”

Although he wanted to push away this guy who had been humiliated by himself yesterday, he was completely powerless, and his body was getting heavier and heavier. Faintly, I was weakly aware of myself, fell on something, and then darkness...... Crazy rush!

I was groggy and I didn't know how long I had been asleep.

The darkness is like a shadow of a building, in his own dreams, one after another. It was difficult to struggle, unable to move, as if suppressed by a nightmare, and consciousness sank in the deepest depths of darkness, as if trapped in the sea, helplessly outstretched hands.

Until that faint light, in that deep despair, shone on her......

The girl suddenly woke up, and a strong sense of crisis made her open her eyes. With her arms supporting the plank, she struggled to support herself, and the blanket covering her body slipped off, she exclaimed, hurriedly pulled up the blanket again, and looked around suspiciously.

At some point, she had arrived at a slightly dilapidated wooden house, where a young man was facing her sideways, holding a thin undershirt in his hand, roasting on the fire. Sensing the movement around him, the young man turned his head and looked at her: "Miss Jianli, are you awake?" ”

Chun Jianli grabbed the edge of the blanket, one hand couldn't help touching her delicate body under the blanket, the thigh of her left leg, wrapped in a bandage, and the bottom of her breast, also wrapped twice, bandaging the wound on her back, in addition, her body was no longer armless. She glared at the boy, "You...... You ...... "This young man turned out to be Ning Jiang."

Ning Jiang looked at her and said, "When I met you, you were injured, I don't know if someone is chasing you again, I don't dare to send you to the medicine hall, so I have to bring you here and help you bandage it." In addition, your clothes are all wet, and I am afraid that you will catch a cold after the injury, so I have to help you dry them, you can rest assured...... Wipe it clean. ”

Chun Jianli was annoyed and ashamed. Annoyingly, I was saved by this guy, why is it this guy. As soon as she thought of this bastard, the word "disgusting" in her ear yesterday, her heart swelled with infinite anger, and she even wanted to break him into pieces, ashamed, my body ...... Isn't my body ...... by him? He、He also said that he wiped it clean......

The young man hesitated: "Miss Jianli...... Do you need me to report to the police for you? ”

Chun Jianli blurted out: "Don't! ”

The young man looked very worried: "But, the person who hurt you ......"

Chun Jianli said angrily: "No need...... You don't care ......" followed by a weak mass and gasping for a few times.

Ning Jiang hurriedly put aside the girl's underwear at hand, and came over to support her: "Miss Jianli, your body is still very weak, it's better to lie down again and don't move." ”

The girl writhed her delicate body, but her whole body was weak, but she leaned against his chest and was wrapped around him by his arms. The young man didn't allow her to struggle, forcibly let her lie down, and said in a low voice: "Miss Jianli, don't worry, although I don't know what kind of enemy you have offended, it should be safe here." ”

After thinking about it, he whispered, "What if...... If Miss Jianli insists that I be responsible......"

The girl glared at him: "Responsible for what?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Although Xiaosheng is in a hurry to obey the power, in order to save the girl's life, he has to do it, but after all, he took off the girl's clothes and looked at the girl's body...... Touch...... Ahem! The first saint has clouds: men and women do not kiss! If the girl wants Xiaosheng to be responsible, Xiaosheng will definitely be responsible to the end......"

The girl blurted out, "Don't! ”

The boy breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!" ”

Chun Jianli had a black face...... What's going on with this feeling of being disliked? said that he wanted to take off her clothes and be responsible for her, but in fact, it was just a promise that he had to make as a scholar because of etiquette, and in fact, he wished that she would stay away in the future? If it weren't for the weakness of herself at the moment, she really wanted to jump up and slash him with a sword.

Ning Jiang said: "Miss Jianli, you can sleep for a while, don't worry, I will be at the door and never let anyone break in." ”

Chun Jianli gasped: "You...... Why did you save me? ”

Ning Jiang said lightly: "I don't know what happened to Miss Jianli, but I am a scholar, and I have loyalty and benevolence in my heart. After saying that, he covered her with a blanket, moved to the door, moved a small stool, took a book of sages, and leaned against the door frame like this, and sat down with a righteous voice.

Chun Jianli closed her eyes, barely breathed her breath, and after a while, she quietly opened her eyes again, looking at the young man sitting by the door, reading by the faint fire and the moonlight outside.

Of course, she knew the young man's intention to do this, and if a lonely man and a widow were in the same room, she would inevitably be suspicious of being in the melon field. She is a person in the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't really care much about these, but he is a scholar, and the word "etiquette" is almost engraved in his bones for a scholar like him.

In this way, he can not only take care of her, but also avoid suspicion. This meaningless gesture is, in her opinion, very ridiculous, but that's what a reader looks like......

Although it was, in her opinion, a meaningless move, but it did give her a strange kind of peace of mind, but after thinking about it again, this guy didn't think about her at all, but if he had the slightest thought, he wouldn't say the word "disgusting" to her, so this sense of security was more or less inexplicably humiliating. If it wasn't me who was lying here at the moment, but his eldest princess, what would it look like? Would he still behave like this?

In this annoyance...... And in the feeling of safety, the girl once again, fell asleep!

After she fell asleep, the young man holding the sage book at the door slowly turned his head and looked at her sleeping face that had become peaceful and relaxed, and a faint mockery overflowed from the corners of his mouth......

***

The battle between Chun Jianli and Xiaomeng last night made Ning Jiang even more convinced that Chun Jianli was a Zoroastrian person. Although last night, Chun Jianli used a spell to escape from Xiaomeng's knife, but how could her blinding spell hide from Ning Jiang? It has long been quietly embellished by Ningjiang.

Although he was able to kill her like this, considering that Chun Jianli was the only line related to Zoroastria that he could find in the capital at present, Chun Jianli's death would cause the Zoroastrian power in the capital to be hidden deeper, so it was better to keep her for the time being.

Anyway, no matter whether Chun Jianli is injured or killed, his goal has been achieved, and the attack on Chun Jianli will definitely make the forces of Zoroastrian in the capital suspicious, and they dare not rashly join the vicious war between the Quanqing faction and the Zhengqi Alliance, after all, the imperial court can tolerate the existence of those gangs in the capital that are constantly cutting and tidying up, but it will never tolerate Zoroastrianism, a religion that originated in foreign lands, stirring up trouble in the capital of China.

In addition, although Ning Jiang didn't know much about kitsch, he had also heard in his previous life that when a woman performed kitsch on a man and failed, in the short term, the man would turn around and leave an indelible mark on the woman's heart. This was told to him by a Miao Wu in Xiling in the previous life, but in fact, he didn't know if it was true.

But the night before, Chun Jianli tried to use a charm on him, but not only did it not work, but was disturbed by his unexpected word "disgusting" and left in a gaffe. This made Ning Jiang feel that maybe he could use it to some extent.

Ning Jiang stayed here for one night, and on the morning of the second day, he boiled the broth with his own hands and fed it to Chun Jianli. Although Chun Jianli wanted to push him away, she was too weak to do so.

At noon, Chun Jianli began to have a fever, and Ning Jiang asked if she wanted to ask a doctor for her, but Chun Jianli herself refused strongly.

Chun Jianli herself knows that her current weakness is not due to injuries on her back and legs, these two injuries are just external injuries in the final analysis. What really brought her sequelae was the "Phoenix Blood Dance" that she performed last night in order to defeat the filial girl in the sackcloth and white dress in one fell swoop, and forcibly stimulate the mysterious blood qi in her body.

This is a kind of magic skill that relies on the rapid loss of blood and qi and instantly enhances her strength, and it is this kind of magic skill that makes her forced to be in a state of serious weakness due to blood loss at the moment, and the heat in her body at this moment is actually the self-proliferation and protection of the "phoenix blood" in her body.

Ning Jiang actually found that Chun Jianli's fever was different from normal typhoid fever, thinking of the strange situation of Chun Jianli's self-harm last night, blood and water turned into fire, and knew that there must be an inside story. So pretending to be worried, taking care of her meticulously, in fact, just to observe her physical condition, Chun Jianli naturally didn't know his hidden intentions, and under his untiring care, he was more or less moved.

Outside, the chaos on the rivers and lakes is generally according to Ningjiang's plan.

After picking a few strongholds that seemed to have nothing to do with the zombie gate, the zombie gate, which could no longer sit still, tried to defend and attack, but instead fell into the trap laid by the Righteous Qi Alliance.

The Five Tiger Gate, the Dyeing Water Little Salt Gang, Zhenjiguan and other Beijing Gangs that stood on the side of the Quanqing faction did not have time to rush to meet the Zombie Gate, and the Zombie Gate Master Hu Chongshi had already been assassinated by Qin Chuan Wuyi, and the Zombie Gate was defeated and lost, and the power in the capital was almost wiped out.

Seeing that a bigger dispute was about to break out between the Zhengqi Alliance and the Quanqing faction, the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions finally couldn't sit still, originally thought that it was just a struggle between the two lower ninth-rate sects of the Zombie Gate and the Hechong Gate, but if it went on like this, it was necessary to involve the three sects and the nine streams of the entire capital together. Finally, the arresting officials of the high-level officials of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions dispatched one after another, using their connections in the rivers and lakes to warn both sides...... At least until the end of the temple examination, give me a settling place.

Of course, the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions also knew that once this kind of vendetta arose, it was almost impossible to force it down. But seeing that the palace test was coming soon, since the Righteous Qi Alliance had destroyed the Zombie Gate, of course they didn't want to expand the situation at such a time.

Ning Jiang naturally had already calculated that at this point, it was impossible for the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions to ignore it.

At the beginning, the Zhengqi Alliance took revenge on the zombie gate in the name of He Chongmen, at that time, the zombie gate almost reached the point of killing Hechongmen, and the revenge of He Chongmen was justified, and the three law divisions and yamen were not easy to manage, plus it was just a conflict between the two sects, which could always be controlled.

However, with the conflict between the various gangs headed by the Quanqing faction, as well as the "Zhengqi Alliance" unexpectedly united by the various weak sects that have been suppressed by the Quanqing faction in recent years, once it breaks out, it will be the great chaos of the entire capital's "rivers and lakes", even those gangs that have nothing to do with it will be involved because of various "Jianghu morality" or "Jianghu feelings", and Taoism has always been not monolithic, its own internal chaos, in the past few years in the capital by the Quanqing faction more oppressed by the Zhengyi Church, Nine times out of ten, it will also plug in a leg.

The palace test is not over yet, and the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions certainly does not want this kind of dragon and tiger battle that swept the rivers and lakes at such a time, so it is inevitable that they will come out to talk about it. Although there are many rights and wrongs in the rivers and lakes, it is very normal for the big reshuffle, they can be suppressed for a while, but they can't be suppressed for a lifetime, but at the point of time, you have to give me a mastery, the palace test is related to the face of the Son of Heaven, you are making large-scale trouble at this time, if you really provoke the anger of the Son of Heaven, the court is powerful, we are in trouble, and you have no benefit......
