However, Leng Yi's face immediately changed, because he had already noticed that around them, there were things swimming in the grass and making a rustling sound, and snake heads emerged from the grass one by one!

The long sword in Bai Hong's hand flew, and the poisonous snakes that approached flew one by one!

Whoosh!

More than a dozen sharp arrows flew in the darkness, shooting Leng Yi, Zhuo Qiaoniang and Bai Hong!

Leng Yi shook his body and blocked in front of Zhuo Qiaoniang, and at the same time, he had already taken off the box containing the sniper rifle on his back and used it as a shield to resist the flying arrows. This box is also made of bulletproof special steel, which can block even ordinary bullets, let alone ancient arrows.

He can block the arrows above, but he can't stop the snakes below.

Fortunately, he still has a pair of feet, and Leng Yi no longer cares about whether to let Zhuo Qiaoniang know that he has martial arts. His feet were like flying, and he either kicked the approaching poisonous snake into the air or trampled it to death.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was stunned, looked at him, and completely forgot the poisonous snake rushing under her feet and the sharp arrow flying from her head.

Bai Hong took out a small firework and shot it into the night sky, blooming a gorgeous white flower in the air.

"This is calling for her companions! Let's work harder and kill that dog official! ”

Listen to the voice, it is the killer who has no intention!

There was a strange sound in the night, and when they heard this sound, almost all the poisonous snakes rushed towards Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang! All the arrows were shot at them.

Bai Hong shook his body in front of Leng Yi and killed the poisonous snake on the ground for him. Leng Yi has a bulletproof vest on his body, and a bulletproof box in his hand, focusing on dealing with the flying arrows that come from him, although he is a little hurried, but he is not injured, in order to avoid exposing his bulletproof vest, he did not catch the arrows.

At this moment, I heard an old voice coming from the mountain path down the mountain: "Don't be afraid! The poor road is coming! Several people rushed up the hill with unusual speed.

At this time, the flying arrows suddenly stopped, and a cold voice came from the night sky: "I can't see it, your official is quite agile, and this time you let you escape with your surname, next time you won't be so lucky!" ”

With that, the strange sound disappeared, along with the sound of talking, as if it didn't exist, and the footsteps of their departure could not even be heard.

Thousands of poisonous snakes suddenly lost the momentum to rush forward, and after a moment of confusion, they scattered into the grass in all directions. Only a dead snake was left behind.

Leng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked Zhuo Qiaoniang: "Qiaoniang, are you okay?" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't speak, didn't even look at him, but looked at the hazy moon in the sky.

Leng Yi said to Bai Hong: "Thank you for saving us again." ”

"You're welcome." Bai Hong said: "It's also a coincidence, I went to Qingcheng Mountain to invite the Wumei Daoist and his two junior brothers, on the way to your house, I happened to see Mrs. Zun go out of the city, this is the middle of the night I was worried that something would happen, so I followed." The three of them followed. ”

The three of them had come so quickly that they had already reached the bottom of the cliff. Bai Hong said: "You don't have to come up, the enemy has retreated, you just wait for the guard under the cliff." ”

The old voice said, "Good! We're in charge of the cliff down. ”

Bai Hong glanced at Zhuo Qiaoniang, who was still staring at the moon blankly, and said, "You seem to have something to say, I'll wait for you over there." Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop. ”

Leng Yi smiled and arched his hand.

Bai Hong quickly disappeared into the night.

Leng Yi looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang, and also felt her strangeness, and said in a low voice: "Qiaoniang, don't worry, I have already inquired, the emperor's imperial physician has a medicine that can cure your illness!" It's true! I swear to God! You also know that the emperor is very kind to us, and the emperor gave me a gold belt, and the queen also gave you a brocade box of jewelry, and they know that you are sick, and they will definitely ......"

"My family officials ......, are they ......, they have ...... and died?" Zhuo Qiaoniang's words were as ethereal as a light veil on the edge of the moon.

Leng Yi seemed to hear a thunderbolt above his head. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You, what did you say?" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang slowly turned her head, looked at him, and said sadly: "My family official, dead, right?" ”

"Qiao Niang, I'm by your side."

"You're not! You are a good person, but ......" Zhuo Qiaoniang shook her head slightly, lowered her eyes, a crystal teardrop fell, and choked up: "However, you are not an official of my family......"

Leng Yi heard the firmness in her voice, and knew that she had sufficient evidence to prove that she was an impostor. He thought quickly in his head about where the flaws were exposed, and now it seemed that she most likely saw that she had martial arts, could resist flying arrows, and could kick away the attacking poisonous snakes.

Of course, he was unwilling to fail like this, and wanted to make a final effort, so he smiled reluctantly and said: "Qiao Niang, I am full of you secretly learning martial arts, and I am afraid that you will worry, so I misunderstood you." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at him, kept looking at him, and said, "I really wish you were my family official, but you are not!" ”

"I am, Qiao Niang......"

"If you were really him, you would faint with fear when you saw the snake. - Remember? In my hometown, once you had to accompany me up the mountain to collect firewood, but you met a small cauliflower snake, which was not poisonous, and you screamed and passed out. I carried you home, and you woke up when you got home. Grandpa said, you have been like this since you were a child, as long as you see a snake, you will faint. ”

Leng Yi then understood why Zhuo Qiaoniang used so much force to pull him behind her just now, but it turned out that it was because she was afraid of snakes, and she didn't know it, not only did she not faint, but kicked those poisonous snakes away with her feet, so that Zhuo Qiaoniang immediately found out that she was not her official.

Leng Yi laughed dryly twice and argued strongly: "It was too dangerous just now, I was afraid that you would be bitten, so I kicked those snakes hard." Now that I think about it, I feel scared! You're so careful, I'm really your official! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled astringently and said, "Then let me ask you, on the night we got married, the flower candle in the cave room drank a glass of wine, did I bring you a cup or did you bring a cup to me?" ”

"Of course it's ......, I'm the one who serves the cup, how can I let the bride serve the cup?"

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled, smiling very sadly, and her eyes were full of tears: "Then let me ask you again, that night, did you help me take off the dress or did I take it off myself?" ”

"Of course it's ......, I helped you take it off. You're so beautiful, I want to follow you early, hehe, hehe"

Leng Yi continued to guess stubbornly, hoping that God could be pitiful and pitiful, and let himself be right.

Zhuo Qiaoniang blinked, and a string of tears rolled down like a broken pearl: "On the night of the candle in the cave room, you didn't drink well, and you were drunk like mud." We didn't drink a glass of wine, we didn't take off our clothes, we just spent the night like that......"

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I can't remember, people are drunk and easy to forget things." But I'm really your official! ”

"Then let me ask you again, what is my father's name? What's my mother's name? What's my brother's name? ”

Leng Yi was dumbfounded, the genealogy he looked at was from the Leng family, and there was only Zhuo Qiaoniang's name on it, not the name of her family. Zhuo Qiaoniang never talked about it. Leng Yi knew that the question was asked to this point, and no matter how much it quibbled, it was useless, and there were too many things that he didn't know. Can't be fooled.

Leng Yi apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really not an official of your family." However, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wanted to eat with a mouthful, and I happened to see that your official looked like me, so I impersonated him. ”

"My family official, he is ......, how did he die......? When did ...... die? ”

"It was near the end of last year, and in Bazhou, Yinling Inn, I was forced to death by a killer. The killer suspects that your official has a treasure on his person, which turns out not to be. I subdued the killer and he killed himself. I saw that your official looked very similar to me, so I pretended to be him. I'm really sorry. ”

"Actually, I should have known that although you look very similar to him, your body is much stronger than him, and you will do a lot of things that he can't, and you will feel more distressed than him. Sometimes, I have doubted it like this, but I don't want to believe that my family official ...... him, and he has ......," Speaking of this, Zhuo Qiaoniang choked up, and after a while, she sobbed: "My official ......, where ...... where is buried?" ”

"It's in the vulva of Bazhou. When I go back, I'll ask the prefect's yamen about his burial, and I'll help you find the place where your officials are buried......"

Zhuo Qiaoniang's body shook and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Leng Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but when he saw her standing, there was no sign of fainting, and now that his fake identity has been exposed, it is not good to touch her again.

Zhuo Qiaoniang masked and sobbed, crying like a cuckoo crying blood.

Leng Yi stood next to him, not persuading, not persuading.

Zhuo Qiaoniang cried happily, and then raised her head, feeling that her heart was much more comfortable now.

It turned out that she thought that her husband liked the new and hated the old, and had a new love, so she didn't have sex with her, didn't let herself touch him, and didn't even want to do the kind of thing that men like for him. Therefore, the depression and annoyance in my heart, coupled with the rain for a long time in the middle of the night, caused the disease of stasis in the body, and the current critical illness appeared. Now, she knows that Leng Yi does not like the new and hates the old, but is unwilling to pretend to be an official and belittle herself. The reason for this is clear, and the sorrow of this depression is dissipated, although there is more grief of the widow, but the depression has a place to vent, and I feel that my heart is no longer as depressed as before.

Leng Yi looked at her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain in the moonlight, ashamed and distressed, and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry!" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang shook her head lightly and wiped her tears: "You didn't feel sorry for me, I forced you every time, you can't help it." You are a good person and have been very nice to me, thank you! ”

Saying this, Leng Yi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, thought about it, and said, "...... in the future."

"I know, I'm going to die, and you won't look at it. Then I will find the grave of the official tomorrow, and I will help the coffin to leave. You're still here to help him become an official. ”

"Where are you going?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"I can't leave it alone." Leng Yi said: "I once swore in front of the corpse of your official that since I pretended to be him, I would take good care of his family for him." If you still allow me to impersonate him, I will find a way to ask the emperor to send an imperial doctor to treat you. He will cure you! ”

Leng Yi had already said this sentence twice just now, but for the first time, Zhuo Qiaoniang thought that she was dead, and she only noticed that the official was talking, but she didn't pay attention to what she said. The second time, she was stunned by her discovery, and she didn't pay attention to what Leng Yi said, and it wasn't until now that she heard it clearly.

The reason why Zhuo Qiaoniang committed suicide was only because she thought that her illness was incurable and that she would die in great pain, so she chose to commit suicide. But now that I heard that there was still salvation, I suddenly rekindled hope, regardless of whether this hope could be realized. said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's imperial doctor, really, can cure my illness?" ”

"Really!" Leng Yi said: "I have already written an urgent letter of eight hundred miles to report to the emperor urgently, and there will be news soon." Please let me help you cure your illness, it can be regarded as a reward for me to be sorry for you, and when you are cured, we will discuss what to do in the future. All right? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang rekindled her hope for life, she looked at Leng Yi, choked and nodded: "Okay!" Thank you ......."

Leng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go back!" Heavy exposure at night, beware of cold aggravating the condition. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang got up and walked forward slowly.

They didn't have ropes to climb, so they had to take a detour down the cliff. Leng Yi took the lead in exploring the way. There are a lot of rocks on the cliff, Zhuo Qiaoniang's body is extremely weak, she walks very slowly, and she almost fell down several times.

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "Or, I'll still, carry you, right?" All right? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang stood still, and after a while, she hummed.

Leng Yi came over, took her hands, squatted down, carried her on her back, and walked quickly to the bottom of the cliff by the moonlight.

Bai Hong didn't appear until Leng Yi carried Zhuo Qiaoniang to the bottom of the cliff, and she seemed to emerge from the ground, and beckoned a person standing on the mountain rock in front of her: "No eyebrows!" Come here, I'll introduce you! ”

Lao Dao gave a whistle, and two middle-aged Daoists appeared from both sides of the cliff, following the Wumei Dao people over quickly.

Leng Yi put Zhuo Qiaoniang down, wrapped around her, and looked at the man. Bai Hong introduced Leng Yi to Lao Dao: "This is the Bazhou General Judge Leng Yi Leng Master I told you." ”

The other two hurriedly saluted: "Meet Master Leng!" ”

Leng Yi knew that the three of them were indeed the masters he had invited Bai Hong to be guards. Hurry up and return the salute: "Don't dare to be, I will have to work a few more times in the future!" ”

"It should be, the opponent's matter, Brother Bai has already told us. Don't worry, my lord, although that heartlessness is powerful, we don't belong to her! I must keep the eldest master safe! The Wumei Daoist looked at the weak Zhuo Qiaoniang and said, "Who is this ......?" ”

"It's clumsy."

The three of them hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet Madame!" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang was no longer able to return the salute, so she just nodded apologetically.

A Taoist next to him said: "Madame looks unwell, let's put on a stretcher and carry Madame down the mountain, right?" ”

Bai Hong said on the side: "No need, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you have to return to the city quickly." You are in charge of the vigilance, and I will carry the lady. ”

After that, he took Zhuo Qiaoniang's hand from Leng Yi's hand, and couldn't help but say that he and she were on his back. Walk briskly down the hill.

Bai Hong was wearing men's clothes, although Zhuo Qiaoniang knew that she was a woman, but lying on her back, she still felt uncomfortable, turned her head to look at Leng Yi, opened her mouth, but did not speak.

Leng Yi hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang shook her head and turned her face away.

Bai Hong's speed down the mountain was very fast, although it was night, it was like walking on the ground. The Eyebrow Daoist took Leng Yi's arm and followed closely. After a while, we arrived at the bottom of the mountain. Went into the city and returned home. Seeing that she arrived at the door, Bai Hong put Zhuo Qiaoniang down, handed it to Leng Yi, smiled, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Leng Yi supported Zhuo Qiaoniang, and knocked on the door with Wumei Daoren and others and entered the house.

In the courtyard, Cheng Luojie and the others were waiting anxiously, but they did not alarm Leng Changbei and the others. When Zhuo Qiaoniang saw them, she smiled apologetically and wanted to explain, but she couldn't say anything. Cheng Luojie didn't ask much. Cao Sui hurriedly came up and helped Zhuo Qiaoniang into the house.

Leng Yi whispered to introduce the three people including Wumei Daoren, Cheng Luojie and they already knew that Leng Yi spent money to ask a master to protect them, and they all came up to pay a salute. Leng Yi arranged the accommodation of the three of them, and paid them half a year's dowry according to the price that Bai Hong told him, saying that he would protect them for half a year first, and then depending on the situation.

After arranging, Leng Yi returned to the house. Zhuo Qiaoniang was taking a bath behind the screen with the help of the grass sui. Leng Yi came out and stood under the porch and waited.

Cheng Luojie walked over quickly and said in a low voice, "How did you find her?" Are you alright? ”

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry, things will slowly get better." ”

He said this, in fact, he didn't feel low at all, one is whether the emperor will summon him, the second is whether Hua Mingzun will treat Zhuo Qiaoniang, and the third is that after being cured, what will happen in the future? None of these are fixed, and his heart is naturally hanging.

Cheng Luojie listened to his words, felt a little relieved, lowered her head, and said to him: "In the future, you will treat her well." She is your wife, and she is the person who deserves your care for the rest of your life. With that, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Leng Yi smiled bitterly, from now on, Zhuo Qiaoniang is no longer his wife, and she has become a single, but she can't tell Cheng Luojie about this.

In the darkness on the other side, there was a sound of broken footsteps, and a pretty figure appeared next to Leng Yi, but it was Cheng Luoyan, and her words were full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Madame." ”

Leng Yi said: "I can't blame you for this, it's because we don't have enough manpower." Now that all the people I've invited are coming, things will be much better. ”

Cheng Luoyan took a step forward, almost stuck to Leng Yi's arms, and said in a low voice: "She, why did she run away?" Can you tell me? ”

"It's not a run, it's just a walk." Leng Yi smiled and took half a step back.
