Chapter 172: To Each His Heart
Wei Lingyun's idea was not bold, and even Xiao Zhan was very surprised when he heard the news.
He stared at Feiyun for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "I really can't see that Xiao Wei Yizheng has such thoughts." He had more guts than his father. ”
Xiao Zhan said as he put down the teacup. In the Runwang Mansion, I don't worry too much about the ears on the wall. Feiyun saw that Xiao Zhan didn't have the slightest nervous look, and couldn't help but say again: "If Wei Lingyun really goes to the Medicine King Valley, maybe he can really bring Xiao Wusheng back to life." In that case, why didn't Wei Yuanzheng allow him to look for medicine? ”
"Because in this way, no matter whether the saint lives or dies, their Wei family will not be able to escape the catastrophe." Speaking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's lips, "You don't know the saint's character of retribution." He hated the people in the rivers and lakes so much, if he knew that his illness was cured by the pill of the Medicine King Valley, then the Wei family would be in a catastrophe. ”
But at this time, the imperial doctor in Xinglin Yuan was already helpless. If he didn't turn to the Medicine King Valley, Xiao Wusheng would also die. At that time, the imperial doctors who served the sick were probably going to lose their heads. ”
"It is better for a person to die than for a family to die. You tell me? Xiao Zhan said a word, and seeing that Feiyun suddenly became extremely silent, he said again: "The master is worried that Wei Lingyun will go his own way, so he really went to the Medicine King Valley?" ”
"Well, if then, how are you going to deal with yourself?"
The situation is very good now, but before the dust settles, some things have to be prepared.
"If that's the case......" Xiao Zhan looked out of the window thoughtfully, "If it's really at that time, I also want to see if my father has the life to survive until Wei Lingyun rushes back from the Medicine King Valley, what do you say?" ”
Feiyun was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed solemnly to Xiao Zhan and said, "I was too worried. ”
Xiao Zhan smiled indifferently: "It's definitely not that the master is too worried, the master's concern, and the apprentice understands." ”
A latent crisis suddenly became a bargaining chip in Xiao Zhan's hands. From his gestures, Feiyun could already vaguely see what the new generation of emperors should look like. The new generation has quietly risen, while the old and frail previous generation has slowly declined.
Xiao Wusheng has been irritable and moody these days, and the people who serve him are all trembling. Only the king's servants can still serve by Xiao Wusheng's side as usual.
At this moment, in Xiao Wusheng's dormitory, a pungent and rich smell of medicine filled the entire room. I saw Xiao Wusheng's whole person nested on the eight-step bed, and the bed was covered with curtains all around, so that people couldn't see the condition of the people inside, and could only hear his majestic and cold voice transmitted through the heavy curtains.
"So, from Longwei to the foot of the Unruly Mountain."
"To be exact, it should be on the outskirts of the Unruly Mountain. There are mountain guards on the periphery of the uninhibited mountain, and there are many capable people among them. In addition, the true entrance to the Uninhibited Mountains is hard to find. Even those who know Qimen Dunjia have to spend a lot of time. ”
Kneeling in the hall was a member of Long Wei, who had just received an eight-hundred-mile rush from his colleague from the Unruly Mountain, and immediately came to the saint's dormitory with this urgent message. It's just that this news is not good or bad, and I don't know if it will make Xiao Wusheng Longyan angry and punish him.
He was thinking like this, when he heard Xiao Wusheng say slowly: "Okay, Lone knows." You spread the word that they will go to the Unruly Mountain this time, and they will bring the Nine Emperor Princes over no matter what. If not, they should not come back, and they should also be a mountain keeper in the Unruly Mountain. ”
"Yes." The Cong Long Wei looked panicked, and quickly retreated after receiving the order. As soon as the others left, a violent coughing sound came from the dragon collapse.
Seeing this, the king'......s servant hurriedly came to the dragon collapse and knelt down, but he didn't dare to open the curtain.
After a while, a withered hand stretched out from between the gaps in the curtain, Xiao Wusheng opened one side of the curtain, and looked at the king condescendingly: "Bring some soup to Gu to moisten his throat." ”
"Yes." The king listened to the order, and hurriedly motioned to Xiao Gong'e, who was waiting on the side, to bring a bowl of warm rock sugar pear soup to Xiao Wusheng.
Xiao Wusheng glanced at the transparent pear soup, and only after a while did he reach out and take the snow-white porcelain bowl. It's just a soup action, and he does it so carefully and with many difficulties. Seeing that his hands were shaking more and more, and most of the bowl of pear soup was spilled, Xiao Wusheng angrily slammed the soup bowl to the ground, so frightened that all the attendants in the hall knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
Xiao Wusheng gasped for breath, his chest rising and falling violently. With a gloomy face, he whispered to the attendants kneeling in front of him, "You all go out alone!" ”
The attendants retreated in a hurry, as if they were about to be amnestied. Only the king's servant was left alone, kneeling beside the bed and holding his still trembling hand.
"Sage......" Wang Shiren looked at Xiao Wusheng who was already dying of old age with tears in his eyes, "You don't want to be angry with your body. Those minions are not careful, and the small ones will serve you a bowl to moisten your throat. ”
"No need." Xiao Wusheng shook his head. After calming down, he didn't know that these attendants had done nothing wrong. He was annoyed that he couldn't even hold a bowl of soup steadily.
Xiao Wusheng lowered his head and looked at his trembling hands, remembering what Wei Yuan had said to him before he was taking medicine.
He said, "Sage, this prescription for you now is overbearing, and your body will not be able to stand it after a long time."
At that time, he didn't care at all, he just wanted to live. But does he really care about these changes in his body?
No, not really.
Not only did he want to survive, but he wanted to live like a normal person.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wusheng stared at the half-open door with cold eyes and said, "Chuan Xinglin Yuan Wei Yuanzheng." ”
"Yes." The king's attendant saluted him, and went out to deliver the message. Xiao Wusheng propped up the bed with both hands, clenched his teeth tightly, and was obsessed, so he couldn't allow his body to have a half-point difference at this juncture.
"Arnold, my father hasn't met you yet, how can you become like this......"
Thinking to himself, he slowly closed his eyes.
The anger just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength. Before summoning Wei Yuanzheng, he needed to close his eyes and replenish his strength.
……
At that time, on the unruly mountain.
The young man in white practiced his sword frantically in the snow, and his sword aura was overwhelming, and he didn't know how many branches he had chopped off. The last move is even more groundbreaking.
Ah Jin watched quietly from the side, and waited until Ah Yin received his moves, and then walked to him with an umbrella.
"Sister." Ah Yin looked back and saw Ah Jin, a little surprised, "Sister, it's cold outside." ”
"Of course I know it's cold outside, if it weren't for you, how would I have come out of the warm room," Ah Jin rolled his eyes, chattering, and took Ah Yin's cold hand and went down the corridor, "You can rest for a few days, Ah Song and I have been crying for a long time, saying that you just practiced swords in the library pavilion, and destroyed a lot of flowers and trees for him." You will do well, and for the sake of him not being able to take care of the flowers and trees of this mountain, spare him these thoughts. ”
Ah Yin listened to Ah Jin's words, and subconsciously glanced at the mess scattered all over the place, and his cold and indifferent face showed a little guilty, "I'll go and apologize to Ah Song." ”
"Don't. You are carrying the broken star to apologize, who are you trying to scare? Ah Jin glanced at the long sword that had not been withdrawn from the sheath, and the body of the sword overflowing with cold light was a little terrifying, "Put away the weapon, let's go to the tea room and sit down." ”
"Hmm." Ah Yin nodded, and with a hum, the shattered star was instantly sheathed.
The fire in the tea room was blazing, and as soon as he pushed the door open, the hot air on his face made Ah Yin subconsciously take a step back. He frowned slightly, sat down opposite Ah Jin as if he had something on his mind, and kept staring at her.
Ah Jin scooped a bowl of tea soup and put it in front of Ah Yin, and smiled when he saw him looking at him so seriously, "What's wrong?" Why are you staring at me like this? ”
"Sister, you...... It seems to be more afraid of the cold than before. But because of your injuries. Ah Yin asked sincerely, and there were stars in his black eyes, which made Ah Jin's heart feel weak for a while.
"Sister is fine. The stepfather and master have already taken their senior sister to the Medicine King Valley. Now that retreat is just right for me to heal. Ah Jin said in a brisk tone. The hands under the table clenched unconsciously.
"Oh." Ah Yin lowered his eyes and no longer dwelled on this question. He knew that Sister Ah would never lie to him. So whatever Ah Jin says, it is.
"Before my father-in-law left, I instructed you and me to take care of the affairs of the cabinet together. You see, I've been on vacation for more than a month, so I'm finally going to take care of it, right? Ah Jin asked tentatively.
Those pair of smart eyes made Ah Yin unable to say a word. So, he bowed his head slightly, and he agreed. Ah Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Ah Yin would be depressed. Seeing that he was not so resistant to taking care of the affairs of the cabinet, he only felt relieved.
"I will not hand over the tedious matters of the account books to you. You have to check the list that you received from the Death Pavilion. At this time and then, the court has been watching us, and we must not be caught by them in any way. ”
"I know." Speaking of the imperial court, the look in Ah Yin's eyes became cold again. Ah Jin saw these changes in his eyes, but he didn't break them. The plan to guide Ah Yin, who was immersed in grief, little by little, was smoother than she imagined.
Because of the happiness, Ah Jin's slightly pale face flushed with a blush. At this moment, Ah Zhen's voice came from outside the teahouse, "Big girl, someone is planning to attack the mountain." Some of the mountain guards at the bottom of the mountain are about to be overwhelmed. ”
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, she seemed to see Ah Jiu fighting bloodily in the snow. Even though she has become a stranger, she still can't care about her life or death. Ah Jin stood up and was about to push the door out, but was stopped by Ah Yin.
"Sister have a good rest. I'll just take a look. ”
"Be careful." Ah Jin nodded, and after Ah Yin left, he instructed Ah Zhen to let her call two people from the Afterlife Pavilion to follow Ah Yin down the mountain. After doing these things, she sat back on the futon.
It's just that for some reason, her heart can't calm down anymore.
……
At the foot of the unruly mountain, the battle between the dragon guard and the mountain guards was inseparable, and the troops of both sides were damaged. In the process of fighting and retreating, Ah Jiu unconsciously became the backbone of the mountain guards. The dragon guards were also keenly aware of the changes, and they would focus on Ah Jiu when attacking.
The so-called thief captures the king first, and they know this very well.
"Nine girls, it's really not good, so you can find a way to get out first and report to Tongtian Pavilion. We cover you. ”
"No, they're just waiting for us to find reinforcements." Ah Jiu wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Cong Longwei, who was confronting several of them.
When the other mountain guards saw that she had made up their minds, they stopped talking. The reason why they came to the foot of the unruly mountain was that some of them were to repay their kindness, and some of them were to ask for help. Everyone has their own thoughts, but they are not willing to back down. At present, a few people who still have combat effectiveness stand in the vast land, only feeling isolated and helpless, and a tragic mood arises spontaneously.
"Damn," one of the bald heads spat on the blood, spitting on the snow, staining it red, "there's no way we can retreat like this." I don't know where to go. simply took the initiative to attack it, taking offense as defense, and killing it without leaving a piece of armor. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing on the side clenched the long knife in his hand and responded, "That's what I mean." ”
Seeing that several other people had already adjusted their bodies and were ready to go. Suddenly, a young man in white fell from the sky and landed in front of them, and his long and stumbling figure made them all look straight at each other.
"Young Pavilion Master." Ah Jiu looked at the unsheathed long sword held by the young man in a daze, and immediately knelt in the snow.
"You're not from the cabinet anymore, so you don't need to." Ah Yin tilted his head slightly, and said coldly to the people standing behind him: "You go back, there are people in the pavilion behind you." ”
"Good, good. Xie Shaoge's life-saving grace. Several people came back from their stunned, thanked Ah Yin's back again and again, and pulled Ah Jiu to retreat behind the mountain. Who knows, Ah Jiu stubbornly knelt there, unwilling to get up.
"Young Pavilion Master."
"You go too. Stay here, just a burden. Ah Yin said as he looked coldly at the few people lined up in front of him.
"Young Pavilion Master, you must be careful." After listening to Ah Yin's words, Ah Jiu reluctantly stood up and followed the others out of this Shura field.
“…… Nine Highnesses. One of the leaders from the dragon guard stood out of the queue and knelt down on one knee towards Ah Yin, "The last general has finally found you." Your Highness the Nine, the saint has an order, let the little ones bring you back safely. ”
The young man looked at him indifferently, and his eyes were even colder because of what he said just now, "You have found the wrong person." I am not what you said Your Royal Highness, I am the young pavilion master of this Tongtian Pavilion, if you leave now, I can still spare your life. If not......"
Ah Yin had one hand behind his back, and the hand holding the sword did not move. But the murderous aura emanating from his body made everyone from Long Wei subconsciously take a few steps back. The leader kneeling in front of him was completely stunned, he didn't expect that he had worked so hard to find the foot of this unruly mountain, and finally found the person who the saint asked him to find, and the other party actually gave him such an answer.
"Your Highness the Ninth Highness...... "The leader knows very well that whether it is advancing or retreating, he and these colleagues may be unlucky. He looked at Ah Yin and couldn't help choking in his throat, "Your Highness the Nine, if the last general can't take you back, we won't be able to go back...... Therefore, there is a lot of offense. ”
Ah Yin frowned slightly, and watched the other party stumble up from the snow with a puzzled expression. The battle just now was very fierce, and these Cong Long Wei were already covered in bruises. Ah Yin looked at everyone and replied seriously: "If you fight me hard at this time, you have no chance of winning." ”
A wry smile appeared on the leader's face, and then he picked up the saber in his hand, "The last general knows that he is not the opponent of His Highness, but if the last general returns empty-handed, I am afraid that Long Yan will be angry and implicate the clansmen...... Your Highness, please advise. ”
Ah Yin's brows tightened even more when he heard this, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”
"The last general is named Qifeng."
"Okay, then I'll do two tricks with you." As he spoke, Ah Yin pulled out the broken star with one hand.
……
But after half a pillar of incense, Ah Yin has already returned. Ah Jin looked at his snow-white clothes and still looked spotless, so he smiled and said, "I heard that you released those who escaped from the mountain, and even brought back an unconscious person to recuperate?" ”
"Only this person has never killed me, but is bent on death." Ah Yin looked at Ah Jin and said word by word: "Sister, I don't understand why that person wants me to go back to this day." ”
"Probably, he really knows that he is wrong and wants to atone for his sins." Ah Jin thought for a while and replied: "He used the entire country to atone for his sins, aren't you impressed?" ”
Ah Yin lowered his eyes and was silent. Seeing this, Ah Jin sighed softly. Since the Tangram is gone, Ah Yin has always looked so lifeless, which makes her uncomfortable.
Even the great country couldn't make him half interested, and Ah Jin didn't know whether to feel relieved or worried. Just as she was thinking wildly, she only heard Ah Yin suddenly say out: "I am the son of my father-in-law, the young pavilion master of Tongtian Pavilion." Except on the uninhibited mountains, nowhere is my home. He once killed my mother, and he almost killed me. What about giving me this country now? What do I want it for? Sister, everyone in the royal capital is so strange. That person is very strange, and this Qi Feng is also very strange. ”
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize who Qi Feng was, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she looked at Ah Yin with interest: "It seems that you don't hate this leader of Cong Longwei." But have you ever thought that you took him to the Unruly Mountain, and when his wounds were healed, he would eventually go back? At that time, how did you ask him to deal with himself? ”
Ah Jin said this, Ah Yin didn't think about it carefully. At that time, when Qi Feng took the initiative to collide with the broken star, he was shocked by his bent on death, and Qi Feng sighed softly, "Thank you......"
Ah Yin didn't understand why he was saying thank you to someone who killed him. So he didn't think much about it, and fished Qi Feng back from the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that he was silent, Ah Jin knew that Ah Yin was hiding something in his heart now, and he didn't want to tell himself. So she knocked on the table, letting Ah Yin's attention be on her body again, "This Qi Feng, maybe it's a bitter trick for you to take him to the unruly mountain." ”
"So I put him in the Broken Bowel Cliff for the time being. First, he can recuperate quietly, and secondly, he can also cut off his contact with the outside world. ”
"Well, it's not stupid," Ah Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at Ah Yin with appreciation, "but if he is rescued by us, what are you going to do with him?" ”
He wanted to leave, so he left. If he wants to stay, I won't accept it. ”
"Okay."
After some questions and answers, Ah Yin faintly realized that Ah Jin was guiding him to start dealing with the affairs of the cabinet. Ah Yin's heart felt a little strange, he stared at Ah Jin intently, but he couldn't see a clue.
"Why do you see me like that?" Ah Jin laughed at his sight and reached out to pat him on the head.
Ah Yin didn't hide, just shrunk his neck, a little silly, "I just think that Sister Ah is a little different from usual these days, but I can't say why." ”
Ah Jin's smile froze for a moment, and then he glanced at him coquettishly, "Since you can't say why, it's that you think too much." The wounded who came up the mountain this time will be handed over to you for placement and handling, go ahead, you go and get busy first, and if there is nothing important, don't come to me. ”
"Yes." Ah Yin stood up and saluted Ah Jin. When he came to the door, he turned to look at Ah Jin and said, "There is Ah Jiu among the wounded, and Ah Jiu won't go to see it." ”
Ah Jin flipped through the book's hand and shook his head silently, "Don't read it." Anyway, when she recovers from her injuries, she will also be invited to go down the mountain. When I went to see her at this time, didn't I leave her a thought? ”
"Well, I'll go first." Ah Yin hesitated for a while, and finally pushed the door and went out.
Not long after he left, Ah Jin's whole body suddenly weakened, and he almost fell off the soft collapse, Ah Zhen quickly supported Ah Jin, and his heart was so distressed that he almost shed tears, "Girl, do you want to go to bed and rest for a while." ”
"Not necessarily." Ah Jin closed his eyes and silently suffered the bone-eating pain coming from his body. She never imagined that it would be so difficult for her to become a monk in the middle of the way and practice the Gu of the Past Death.
"Let's ...... Let's stop practicing. Girl, why are you doing this......" Ah Zhen whispered, and put a fur blanket over Ah Jin's body.
The injuries she had suffered before were not completely healed, and now that Ah Jin had started to practice the Afterlife Gu again, it made her more and more afraid of cold. Just a little wind can make her teeth chatter with cold.
"No, once the Rebirth Gu starts cultivating, it can't stop. You have to hatch the Gu worms to ......," Ah Jin said, grabbing Ah Zhen's hand. The cold temperature of her palm made Ah Zhen shiver, "You must not tell Ah Yin about this matter." If he knew, his father and master would know. ”
"Yes, slave, slave knows." Ah Zhen held back her tears and nodded again and again, "That, then Ah Jiu ...... there"
Ah Jin wrapped his body tightly in a blanket, gritted his teeth and responded, "You can go to see her from time to time on my behalf." It would have been unruly to let her stay. Besides, now that Tongtian Pavilion is already in turmoil, she is coming back at this juncture, and it is just one more person to be afraid. ”
"Girl...... Diligent. Ah Zhen responded in a low voice, hugging Ah Jin tightly in distress.
