Xiang Chonghua closed his eyes in despair, waited for a long time but did not see the slightest movement, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that there was a dead leaf around him, and on the dead leaf, there was a pill.

Hong Chilian put his hands around his chest and said with a smile: "If you want me to kill you, I won't kill you." ”

Xiang Chonghua's whole body hurt as if it was cracking, and he wished that he would end his life immediately. Hong Chilian patted his clothes and strode away. Xiang Chonghua thought of his various unhappiness and misfortunes, and couldn't help but be angry and sad, and howled loudly, which shook the leaves and scattered the birds and beasts. He screamed for a while, and then began to sing loudly again, and sang all over the song, and sang Yale, and when he had finished singing, he even sang the music of the sacrifice. The morning sun at noon sprinkled on his face in white, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat was already hoarse, he could only open his mouth wide and pant, and suddenly heard a burst of footsteps stepping over the dead leaves and rushing over.

Xiang Chonghua struggled to open his eyes a little crack, and saw Qin Fei's anxious and surprised face. Qin Fei took out the water bag and handed it to his mouth. Xiang Chonghua drank all the water before he could make a faint sound. He raised his palm, but his words were still incoherent.

Qin Fei grabbed his hand excitedly and said, "Good brother, I know you are telling me not to worry, I'm not in a hurry, you can rest well." ”

Xiang Chonghua struggled to pull out his already blackened palm, his lips still moving. Qin Fei grabbed his hand again and said, "I know you don't worry about us. My husband and I are fine. Don't talk. ”

Xiang Chonghua was so anxious that tears were about to come out, but his hand was tightly clenched by Qin Fei, and he couldn't pull it out.

Qin Fei's eyes moistened and said, "You and I will be brothers in the future." Look at you, I'm so excited that tears are streaming down my face. I understand everything. Just close your eyes! ”

Xiang Chonghua really wanted to jump up and scold: "You understand a fart!" Can Lao Tzu still open his eyes when he closes them? But he couldn't say anything.

The old man looked at Xiang Chonghua carefully, stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Qin, this brother seems to have been poisoned. The old man thinks it's better for you to rescue as soon as possible. ”

Qin Fei was taken aback and said, "Poisoning? Where is the poisoning? ”

The old man pointed to Xiang Chonghua's palm. Qin Fei let go and looked at it, he was startled, and while hurriedly detoxifying him, he said, "Why are you poisoned like this and don't tell me?" ”

Xiang Chonghua rolled his eyes and said hoarsely, "It's okay, it just hit the enemy's stinger cloak." ”

The old man smiled and said: "This little brother has extraordinary internal strength, but the wound on his palm is very shallow, it seems that he deliberately made the other party think that he was poisoned so that he could take the opportunity to escape." The old man admired. ”

Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but scream.

The old man leaned over and picked up a pill from Xiang Chonghua's side and handed it to Qin Fei, saying, "But the other party doesn't seem to want this little brother's life, and specially left the antidote." ”

Qin Fei took the pill and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "This is indeed the antidote to the queen bee poison pulp." Without this antidote, even if he could save his life, it would have cost him a lot of vitality. What exactly are they trying to do? ”

The old man said: "Although the old man doesn't know what happened to the two benefactors, he can also see that you have encountered a lot of trouble. It's too dangerous here, so it's better to go down the mountain before you plan for it. ”

Xiang Chonghua took the antidote, and after a while of pranayama, he felt that his spirit was greatly lifted, not only could he walk on his own, but his injuries were much better. The first thing, naturally, is to ask them how to get out.

Qin Fei said: "I saw that the man in red didn't chase you, so I guessed that he must have seen your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he lit the poisonous smoke found from the dead man in the White Tiger Gate." When they saw the poisonous smoke, they thought it was your trick to lure the enemy in, and they went out. The two of us took the antidote and hid in the hole in the back. ”

Xiang Chonghua sighed: "Why are you always so smart! ”

Qin Fei smiled: "You're not stupid. It's not easy to blind a master like Red Red Lian. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "This is what I have heard and seen, following you as a smart person, I should be more or less clever." ”

Qin Fei said: "But this is also too dangerous, I am in a cold sweat when I think about it now, are you really not afraid of death?" ”

Xiang Chonghua sighed: "It's fake not to be afraid of death, but if we don't do that, none of us will probably survive." ”

Qin Fei looked at him carefully for a while, and said slowly: "I'm not a courtier who can be used for you, don't you think it's too worthless to sacrifice your life to save me?" If you die, you will have nothing. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "I don't want to watch my friends die for me anymore. Moreover, even if I die, with your wisdom, you will surely avenge me and fulfill my wish. ”

Qin Fei lowered his head thoughtfully.

Xiang Chonghua grinned and said, "I'm not the only one who has a good life. Unexpectedly, the ruthless Red Red Refining would spare the wasps. ”

Qin Fei glanced at the old man who had deliberately kept a distance from the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Maybe he also realized that there was a yellow finch hiding behind them. So instead of killing the wasps, we also spared our lives to contain that strong enemy. ”

Qin Fei was silent for a while, then stopped and smiled at the old man: "Uncle, why don't you walk side by side with us, but are you uncomfortable?" ”

The old man smiled: "Although the old man is not as good as you, he also knows a little kung fu, otherwise how dare he walk alone on the mountain road in order to save time." Then he said: "This gentleman should be the height of Xuanwu Pond, right?" Although the old man's family is in Qi Kingdom, he often goes to Qingfeng Town to visit the deceased, and sometimes he will set up a fortune-telling stall to earn some entanglement. Moreover, the old man also worshiped under the Xuanwu Tan sect twenty years ago, and he could tell who was the disciple of Xuanwu Tan by listening to the accent. ”

Qin Fei saw that the old man seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and his heart was inexplicably cold.

Xiang Chonghua interjected: "It's a great blessing to be able to worship under Mr. Zhuang Meng, why did you leave, old man?" ”

The old man groaned: "Because the old man committed a taboo at that time, he abducted the junior sister of the same door. ”

Xiang Chonghua grinned heartlessly and said, "Is it the girl who embroidered the purse for you?" Oh, it's supposed to be called Auntie. But she must be a very beautiful aunt, is she a good old man? ”

The old man's unfathomable eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and he said slowly: "She didn't become my wife. ”

He paused, his tone was a little stiff, and said, "Beautiful things are either calamity or too short-lived. Young people should still focus on merit, if they are blinded by the flowers, they will only achieve nothing and regret it for life. ”

Xiang Chonghua just wanted to refute, but Qin Fei hurriedly said, "Is my uncle also going to Qi Country?" Maybe we can go along. ”

The old man said: "I heard that Mr. Zhu has arrived in Chen Country, and the old man wants to visit first." After a while, the old man will be separated from the two. ”

Xiang Chonghua was surprised: "You even know Mr. Zhu?" ”

The old man said lightly: "Although we don't know each other, we have some origins. Mr. Zhu's institution is the best in the world, and the old man has long wanted to visit. The hand unconsciously rested on his right shoulder.

Xiang Chonghua wanted to ask again, but Qin Fei immediately grabbed the words and said, "I still have some pills to take down the mountain here, do you need to take some?" ”

The old man smiled: "The old man has a house in Shangmu, thank you Mr. Qin for your kindness." He gave Xiang Chonghua a deep bow and said, "If it weren't for the little brother who rescued him in time, the old man would have been exposed to the wilderness." Thanks a lot. ”

Xiang Chonghua hurriedly said: "Where is it, I was fortunate to have your reminder in Qingfeng Town that time, so I could escape." If you want to thank you, you should be thanked first. ”

Qin Fei looked at Xiang Chonghua in surprise, Xiang Chonghua smiled at him and said, "This old man already knows my identity, if he hadn't reminded me last time, maybe I wouldn't even have seen your face." ”

The old man smiled and said, "All this has been arranged in the dark. Is that girl okay? ”

Xiang Chonghua's eyes darkened, and he said, "I don't know where she is now." But I'm sure she'll be safe. I am incompetent under it, and I have to rely on a woman to ......"

The old man was silent for a while, and said, "People who don't need protection often force themselves to be strong because they have nothing to rely on, and they will envy you instead." If you don't need protection, isn't it a kind of loneliness and helplessness? He raised his head and pointed to the fork in the road ahead: "When you reach the fork in the road ahead, the old man will be separated from the two." ”

Xiang Chonghua sighed: "It's a pity, I still have a lot to talk to you about." ”

The old man said, "One day we will meet again, and it will not be too late to talk." Although the old man doesn't know Prince Hua's plans, he still wants to tell you something. Although Han Wuyu is known as the richest businessman in the world, he is in an embarrassing situation in the Wing Country, so he has been secretly befriending the powerful people of various countries in order to protect himself. Although the prince is in a bad situation, he is still the crown prince in terms of name. What's more, King Yong had just fallen seriously ill, and Mrs. Li couldn't wait to participate in political affairs, and changed many of the previous king's decisions more drastically, and had the potential to cover the sky with one hand. There are not a few people in the royal family who are dissatisfied with her. Although there are some risks in supporting the prince, the benefits are limitless. Businessmen are all mercenary adventurers, and Han Wuyu is even better. The prince went to find Han Wuxi, maybe he could find a glimmer of life. ”

Xiang Chonghua smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your advice, it's a pity that it's ......."

Qin Fei said deeply: "If we get ahead in the future, we will never forget your guidance." ”

The old man replied with a salute and said, "The destiny of heaven is unpredictable, although Prince Hua is frustrated now, it may not be the day when the clouds open and the moon will shine." Bole is hard to find, and the master is hard to find. It is even more difficult to meet and seek to be able to treat the monarch under him with sincerity and benevolence. The old man said goodbye here, and I wish the two of you a smooth journey. Yan Bi glanced at Qin Fei intentionally or unintentionally, but Qin Fei looked away.

Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei successfully arrived in Shangmu, found an inn and rested for the night, and then prepared to rush to Qi by boat.
