Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dead?
……
……
I don't know how long it took.
The voice in his ears gradually became quieter, and then there was a muffled snort, Xue Yan opened his eyes and saw that Yao Pu was stabbed in the chest by his master's sword, just like when he stabbed Mu Ji.
"You've lost." Xue Yijian said lightly, stabbing a little deeper, and the blood flowed down the blade of the sword, dripping in the field overgrown with weeds.
Yao Pu grabbed the blade of the sword and flicked it outward, pulling the sword out of his chest.
"I didn't lose!" He shook his body and took two steps closer, "I won't lose!" ”
After that, he continued to shoot at him.
At this point, he was injured and his movements slowed down, so much so that Xue Yijian could easily approach him and slap him away with one palm.
This time, Yao Pu really fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
He clutched his stomach, as bleak as Xue Yan.
"This time, you really lost." Xue Yijian looked at him sympathetically and compassionately, "You will never be able to beat me, you were and still are." ”
"Really?" Yao Pu laughed angrily, "Xue Yijian, do you really think I lost?" ”
He sneered, his voice smug as he spoke, "I already know why you are here, in order to protect her child, that child is in Gwangju, it is Li Mingyun!" ”
"I have sent a letter to His Highness to report this matter to him."
"Immediately, His Royal Highness will send someone over to arrest you, the Li family, and Li Mingyun!"
At the end of the sentence, his eyes widened, and his expression was a little hideous and happy.
Xue Yan lowered his head.
"Oh?" Xue Yijian glanced at him and said lightly, "Is that the letter?" ”
These words made the smugness on Yao Pu's face disappear.
"What do you mean by that?" He said, his face strained.
"The letter is in my possession now." Xue Yijian took out an envelope from his arms, which happened to be the one Yao Pu sent to the capital.
"I saw that there were so many things written on it that it looked really uncomfortable, so I changed something." He tossed the letter back to him, "As for this one, keep it for yourself." ”
The letter was thrown in Yao Pu's face, and Yao Pu opened it tremblingly and looked at it, and it was really his handwriting.
Anger, resentment, reluctance...... All of a sudden, it all rushed to the brain.
Xue ...... One...... Reflect! He gritted his teeth and glared at him, and took a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it.
Xue Yijian kicked the dagger away, and by the way, he made up for Yao Pu.
"You should have died." He said lightly, "Thirteen years ago, you deserved to die. ”
"I should have killed you back then, not let you live......"
"Yao Pu, it's better if you're dead."
Hearing these words, Yao Pu tilted his head and didn't move anymore.
……
……
Yao Pu died.
Xue Yan looked at the two people lying on the ground, it was hard to imagine that an hour ago, he still had a fierce battle with them.
"Can you go?"
A question pulled him back from his thoughts.
Xue Yan shook his head and raised his eyes to look at him.
"Master...... When did you come? He said, bracing his body to stand up, "I can walk......"
"It's not time to be stubborn." Xue Yijian gave him a lecture and casually threw him a jade-colored medicine bottle.
"Eat it, stop the bleeding for a while." He said lightly, "You will be able to recover some strength in a quarter of an hour, you go to Ouyang Xian and ask him to help you take a look." ”
This is already his greatest concern.
Xue Yan responded, poured out an ink-colored pill from the bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Don't wonder why I didn't give it to you earlier?" Xue Yijian frowned, "I don't blame why I came one step late to save you?" ”
Xue Yan shook his head, and his pale lips spat out two words.
"Not to blame."
Xue Yijian snorted coldly.
"It's best if you don't blame it! You yourself ran to die, and if you die, you can't blame others! ”
There was a thick rebuke in the words.
Xue Yan lowered his eyes, a little guilty.
"Master, I didn't protect Miss well, and I almost let them take it away." He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for your teaching, and I'm sorry for Miss's trust. ”
"If you know, it's good." Xue Yijian stood with his hands in his hands and glanced at him, "If they really let them arrest people this time, you won't come to see me again." ”
Xue Yan responded.
He lowered his head, and the tragic appearance of his childhood coincided with this time.
Xue Yijian retracted his gaze.
"Alright." He said, "You go back first, remember, go to Ouyang Xian, it's best for him to come and see." ”
"Master, what about you?" Xue Yan looked at him.
"I still have something to do, I have to go to Bai Jiye and them." Xue Yijian looked at the mountains over there, "When I find out what I want, I will go to Gwangju." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.
"Master!"
Xue Yan called him from behind.
"Will you take Miss away? She's ...... now Very good. ”
In the end, it became a murmur.
Xue Yijian turned around.
"Yes." He said firmly, "Originally, I was a little unsure, but after I went to the capital, I felt that she had to go back." ”
Have to...... Go back?
Xue Yan looked at his lonely back in the distance, and hung his head in silence.
……
……
Xue Yan listened to his master's words very much, and said that if he went to find Ouyang Xian, he would go to Ouyang Xian, just like asking him to go to Gwangju to find Miss that day, he left Yizhou without saying a word.
At this time, Ouyang Xian was drying herbs in the courtyard behind the pharmacy, and when he heard that an injured patient came to him, he wondered, he rarely helped others to see a doctor.
With doubts, he saw the weak Xue Yan and his doubts were even worse.
"What's the matter with you?" He casually asked, "Why is it hurt?" ”
Without waiting for him to answer, he examined his wounds.
Xue Yan lay down and closed his eyes.
The effect of that pill had expired, and at this time he really didn't have the energy to speak, and even his vision was a little inconvenient.
Ouyang Xian cut his clothes open and examined his injured abdomen.
"You can bear it." He said, "It's all like this, and you're silent." ”
Xue Yan listened to the sound of him talking and gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was dark and groggy, and the whole room was dark.
Ouyang Xian lifted the curtain from the outhouse and entered, his white clothes looked bright in the black, and the hairband on his head was also dazzlingly white.
"Awake?" He asked, his calm face gradually becoming clear in Xue Yan's eyes.
Xue Yan answered, and got up from the bed with his arms propped up.
His wound had been tightly bandaged, and there was no bloody sensation except for the faint pain.
"What's the matter with you?" Ouyang Xian lit the lamp and sat down not far away, "The medicine you took was given to you by Master Jian, right?" Where did he go? ”
The lamp was lit, and the room slowly lit up, and the sparse shadows were printed on the wall, and the outside looked even darker.
"He's gone to find Mr. Bai." Xue Yan replied, his mouth was a little bland.
He pursed his lips and took a sip of water from the teacup beside his bed.
"Go to Mr. Bai?" Ouyang Xian's eyes widened in surprise, "Should I argue with them again, they had already quarreled once over Miss Mingyun at that time." ”
"No, it won't." Xue Yan shook his head and said lightly, "My master won't quarrel with them, he has always only killed people." ”
If you talk about killing people like this, you really are the apprentices of Master Jian.
“…… That's right. Ouyang Xian was embarrassed to admit this fact, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment that he didn't know how to talk to a stubborn child.
There was a moment of silence.
"What did Master Jian do with them? It's been so long, and they won't do anything about who the young lady is with, right? He said, cautiously and tentatively, for fear that the man in front of him would say something amazing.
"Of course not." Xue Yan looked at him with no waves, "My master, he has his own plans, and I don't know." ”
Whether he didn't know or didn't want to say it, he didn't know.
I just felt that the words should not have come out of his mouth.
"That's good." Ouyang Xian softened his expression and smiled peacefully, "It's a family, it's so boring to quarrel around, you see, I don't like to quarrel, that's why I can stay by Miss's side, they are one by one, it will only add to the chaos." Besides, the young lady is now in the Li Mansion and is doing well, shouldn't they all be happy to see it happen? ”
Xue Yan was silent, looking down at his hand.
"If His Royal Highness and Niangniang know, I'm afraid they will be happy."
Ouyang Xian said, his smile disappeared, and he sighed, his tone sad and melancholy.
"It's just that the Si people are gone, and they can't see it anymore."
yes, I can't see it anymore......
A little confusion appeared on Xue Yanmulan's face.
