When I woke up, a whole day had passed.

At my strong request, Wanqiu finally agreed to order the little servant to carry me carefully on a stretcher and go to the first floor to visit Duan Ming, who was as badly injured as I was.

Pushing open the door, he saw that Sarong had only changed the medicine for Duan Ming. It turned out that that night, it was Sarong who saw Duan Ming fall to the ground and was dying, and put the Xin Aojia of Feiyan Banner on his body, which saved the lives of both of us.

"Return to Hotaru..."

When Duan Ming saw me being carried into the room, he struggled to sit up and look at me. Seeing this, Sarong hurriedly gently pressed him back to the bed, carefully checking the bandage that had been wrapped in time.

"Don't worry, if the wound is opened, I will feel it too."

"Then you can't mess around..."Sarong glanced at me angrily, and then looked at Wanqiu with complaining eyes, "Didn't you tell you to take a good look at her, when these two meet, where are you willing to take care of her?" ”

"Don't blame Wanqiu, I asked her to take me down to see Duan Ming." I took Wanqiu's hand, "What's going on with this fatal injury, I have to come and understand it." ”

"-It's Bai Xiaohan!" Duan Ming was excited to get up again, but he was glared back by Sarong's sharp gaze, and his breath was already extremely weak, "It was Bai Xiaohan who secretly attacked, locked my throat from behind, and stabbed me again and again with a dagger, I didn't even have time to make a move......"

"This scumbag." Sarong also gritted his teeth with hatred, "I can't find him even if I go to heaven and earth, it turns out that he is far away in front of him, and for a long time, he has been hiding in the Taopin Building!" ”

"He's in the Peach Building?" I gasped, "How do you know?" ”

"He can seize the opportunity to sneak attack Duan Ming, so naturally he has been dormant by our side for a long time." Wanqiu sighed and said, "I sent someone to check the records, and there is indeed a mysterious man who once chartered a wing room in the back building and lived alone for more than a month, but he never refused to ask the girl to serve. And after the events of last night, the man disappeared. ”

"Then what is he going to do here, regardless of the danger?" I felt a chill down my spine, and I was very afraid, "Wanqiu, you just said that he seized the opportunity to sneak attack Duan Ming... What does this mean, and what moment did he seize? ”

Hearing me ask this, Wanqiu exchanged guilt and sad looks with Sarong. After a long time, Sarong sighed and said: "Gui Ying, it's me who is not good, I went to the courtyard to check after I found out that Duan Ming had an accident that night, I didn't want to fall for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he stole the phoenix feather of the Tang Banner Lord......"

"- What! He stole the phoenix feather? ”

"It's also my fault..."Wan Qiu couldn't help but feel more and more guilty when she saw me shocked, "If I hadn't panicked and wanted to go to the doctor, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to leave Phoenix Feather in the room......"

"It's not your fault, after you go out, I will also ask Zhuo Ying to take me out to see Duan Ming." I heard my own voice with a faint chill, "You and Zhuo Ying were helpless, and I was seriously injured and dying. If we don't go out, I'm afraid that we will really be killed by Bai Xiaohan. ”

"It's all my fault... If I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't have been plotted by that traitor! Duan Ming pounded the bed again and again, his face turned pale with anger, "It's just... It's just that he stole the phoenix feather of the Tang Banner Lord, what did he want to do? ”

Wanqiu subconsciously put her hands on her chest: "Maybe... He knew that the Tang Banner Lord had returned to Lingguang Mountain to complain, what was he planning, and wanted to deal with the Tang Banner Lord? ”

"Qu Xi is a shrewd person, Bai Xiaohan may not dare to touch her, right?"

"He even dares to frame his enemies, how can he be afraid of others." Sarong gritted his teeth and sneered, "If it's just to deal with the Tang Banner Lord, it's nothing, I'm just afraid that he has some other plans......"

"What else is going to do," my teeth chattered, "what else would he do?" ”

"In addition to their respective magical effects, the tokens of the Five Banners of the Tail Sect can also be used to summon the dead soldiers of this banner." Sarong narrowed his eyes, "Although there are not many dead soldiers outside the main altar of Chiyan Banner, they are all proficient in secret weapons, and all of them are good at using poison. If you add the people of his water flag, it is a powerful force that is feared. ”

"You mean, he now has the right to command the two banners of the Tail Sect?" My heart was pounding, "Then he has gathered such a huge force, does he want to... Want to force the palace to rescue the palace curtain trapped by the emperor in the palace? ”

"I don't know, it's just speculation. After all, the surname Bai is the person of the Four Princes, and none of us can fathom his movements. Sarong clasped his hands on his chest and looked at me with a comforting expression, "But don't worry, although he has a lot of people, the palace guards don't eat soft rice." Coupled with my Flying Rock Banner and the elite dead soldiers of your Gangfeng Banner, we may not be able to fight against them. ”

"Most of the dead soldiers of the Feiyan Banner are good at intelligence exploration and tracking techniques, and their combat power is probably not as good as that of the people of the Water Banner and the Red Flame Banner...... "I am embarrassed," I have been hiding my identity from the imperial court, if the Gangfeng Banner is also involved, will I expose myself? ”

"You are just growing up with other people's morale and destroying your own prestige." Sarong didn't like others to comment on her Feiyan Banner the most, so she glared at me angrily, "Regardless of the combat strength, what the surname Bai wants to see the most is that we are in a panic and mess with ourselves." If we can't hold our breath now, aren't we falling into the hands of that despicable villain? ”

Duan Ming saw that Sarong was angry, and hurriedly echoed: "I think Sarong said it well. The Longtan Bead of the Water Flag was originally poured by Qiu Weng with his own essence, and it could not be manipulated without mellow internal force. In the past few days, Bai Xiaohan has repeatedly used the snowfall technique, but he is afraid that he has already lost his internal strength, so he must not dare to act rashly for the time being. ”

"Yes, although I don't understand the rules of your tail sect, I also expect that Bai Xiaohan will not dare to make any big moves." Wan Qiu stroked the back of my hand again and again, "You think, if he really takes the Water Flag and the Red Flame Banner to force the palace, such a big thing will definitely alarm the world." At that time, wouldn't it be known that he betrayed the Tail Sect and took refuge with the prince of Daxin? ”

"In any case, we have to fight for a head start before he does it." Sarong put down the hands that had been holding in front of his chest, "I will concentrate all the dead soldiers in Feiyan Banner and do my best to search for traces of the surname Bai up and down in Kazhou." If it falls into my hands, there is no need for the Tang Banner Lord to tell the sect master, I will definitely kill him with my own hands......"

After nothing could be discussed, Zhuo Ying had already called someone down to urge me to go upstairs to recuperate. When I was carried back to my room by the servant again, I heard Sarong whispering to Zhuo Ying in the hallway, no matter what happened, not to let me take another half step out of the bed.

There was no other way but to calm down and recuperate.

Bai Xiaohan really made a dead hand this time, if it weren't for Sarong Xin Aojia to save his life, I'm afraid Duan Ming and I would really die. Aunt Rao is Hua personally sent rare supplements every other hour, and Duan Ming was working downstairs to heal his wounds without stopping, and two days had passed, and the wounds had not healed at all.

It was early in the morning of the third day, and I was woken up by the noise outside the hallway, in the backyard. After asking, Zhuo Ying and Wan Qiu both ran over, pretending to be calm and pretending to be in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

The smile on Wanqiu's face trembled uncontrollably like her voice: "What's the matter, Gui Ying, you've only slept for a few hours, let's sleep a little longer." ”

"How can I sleep when it's so noisy outside, what's wrong?"

"It's really nothing, you just take care of yourself." Zhuo Ying stiffened and pulled the corners of the quilt that I lifted, "Miss Sarong said that no matter what happens, you have to lie down here......"

"If I want to get out of bed, will you two be able to stop me?" I said in a deep voice, "Go open the window!" ”

The trivial movements of the two men were stopped at the same time by my roar. Facing my resolute and sharp gaze, for a long time, Wanqiu sighed, turned around and opened the small window of the cabinet.

As wisps of cold air poured into the room, there was a louder and more cacophony of noises. I listened carefully, and there seemed to be the chaotic and panicked footsteps and cries of all kinds of men and women from inside the Taopin Building and outside East Chang Street; the shouts of the army; the sound of swords clashing; and the violent roar that seems to be exploding everywhere......

"What's going on outside..."

Hearing my question, Wanqiu's tears that had been trembling in her eyes finally slipped down. The two exchanged irrepressible panicked glances and lowered their heads.

"Say it quickly!"

I lifted the quilt, ignoring the sharp pain in my abdomen, and moved my legs out of bed to the small window.

"-Don't return to Hotaru!"

Zhuo Ying and Wan Qiu reached out to help, but it was too late, and I staggered down in front of the small window. The wrapped gauze leaked a little blood, and I pressed the wound hard, struggled to get up, and looked out the window, but for a moment I stood in shock.

The scene outside the window was like purgatory on earth - I saw the people in the courtyard of the Taopin Building, regardless of the guests and the girls, all screaming and fleeing in all directions. When I crossed the front building to look at the corner of Peach Blossom Street, I saw countless soldiers in the uniform of Ouchi guards, fighting fiercely with masked men in dark blue and crimson armor.

And further afield, it is even more terrifying - countless huge fires fell from the sky and fell on the rooftops of the rows of houses in Karishu, with a loud bang to explode the shattered black tiles, and brutally drowned out the screams of the people on the streets.

It's the Sky Stone Sky Barrier, and it's actually the Sky Stone Sky Gate of the Red Flame Banner.

"It's Bai Xiaohan..."Wan Qiu, who was trembling beside me, couldn't cry, "He sent troops to Kaozhou!" ”

"What do you mean by sending troops to Karshu... Didn't they just want to force the palace! ”

"It only lit up an hour ago, and these fires began to explode in the city of Kashu. Countless dead soldiers of the Water Banner and the Red Flame Banner poured out from everywhere, killing people when they saw them, and went straight to the palace, and the Ouchi guards couldn't resist it at all! ”
