Chapter 8 The Son of the Wu Family

After Xi disappeared for a while, the last soldier just wanted to go up and ask Shan Chenggang. Suddenly, the old man's body shook, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood while holding on to the stone sword.

Seeing this, the last soldier and Yan Yu hurriedly stepped forward, Yan Yu supported Shan Chenggang, and the last soldier said, "Senior, are you okay?" โ€

"Hehe, do you think I'm okay?" Shan Chenggang gently pushed Yan Yu away, chuckling as he pulled down the clothes on his right shoulder. I saw that there was a bloody palm print on the front and back of the shoulder. The palm prints are black in purple, and it may take some time to disappear. "It's this dark energy again, this guy is getting stronger and stronger now. โ€

"Dark energy. The last soldier muttered. It was the dark energy left by Xi that attacked his heart and distracted him in the battle, so that he was injured by the remnants of the night.

"Senior and Xi are old acquaintances?" Yan Yu asked as he stepped forward.

The last soldier stopped Yan Yu, signaled not to ask more, and said, "It's rude, senior." We take our leave. Judging from the previous conversation between Shan Chengkun and Xi, the two have definitely dealt with each other before, but it is by no means a good relationship. The last soldier was worried that asking about those things would cause Shan Chenggang's disgust, and even if he didn't, he didn't want to trouble Shan Chenggang anymore.

"Probably not. Now that I've come forward,. At least in Yisang City, you are still safe. If you're willing to show your face, listen to a story told by the old man. โ€

"Uhยทยทยทยทยทยท" The last soldier did not speak. Shan Chenggang beside him has already begun to speak.

"That was five years ago. At that time, the Wu clan of Yisang was still very strong. During the Unification War in Xiling, a man who claimed to be surnamed Wu came from the north and joined the command of Emperor Zu. He made great contributions to the unification of the Xiling River basin and became the first hero of the founding of the country. His descendants gradually became the family of Yisang. The ancestor of the Wu clan was the founder of the Mei Ministry, but he forbade the Wu clan to join the Mei Ministry. Most of the clansmen of the Wu clan were officials in the Ministry of Administration, and later even monopolized the Ministry of Affairs. โ€

"In this generation, the Wu clan has produced an exceptionally good son. Not only is he quite talented, but he is also proficient in the shadow killing technique inherited from the ancestors of the Wu clan. This kind of shadow killing technique is the mastery of the ancestor of the Wu clan, but after the Wu clan no longer joined the charm department, the shadow killing technique was gradually shelved. Even if there are clansmen who learn, they only know a little about the surface. It wasn't until the appearance of this prince that Xiling once again remembered the ancestor of the Wu clan who had killed all over the Chuan Bulu River Valley, and his shadow killing skills. โ€

It is no exaggeration to say that this Wu Gongzi was the most outstanding young man in the entire Xiling at that time, both civil and military, clever and humble, and born graceful, and was the dream lover of countless girls. As the most suitable heir to the patriarch of the Wu clan, it is not surprising that he should become the envoy of the Ministry of Government in the future. It's a pity that creation makes people. โ€

"Wu Gongzi fell in love with a maiko. This is a very humiliating thing for the Wu clan, and they still can't shake Wu Gongzi even with the threat of removing their clan membership. Of course, it was impossible for the Wu clan to give up such an excellent junior, and they blamed that maiko for the reason. In the end, the Wu clan decided to hire killers and pretend to assassinate Wu Gongzi, but in fact, they dragged the powerful Wu Gongzi back, and then they secretly got rid of the maiko. They thought that as long as the maiko disappeared, Wu Gongzi would just be sad for a while. Dignified Wu Gongzi, are you worried that you can't find a second woman?"

However, Wu Gongzi sensed that the maiko was in danger while fighting the killer. He was seriously wounded, broke free from the killer's entanglement, rushed over, and rescued the dying maiko. At this point, Wu Gongzi broke off with the Wu clan and disappeared into the world. The Wu family was tracked down by the criminal department for hiring killers, and the royal family also took this opportunity to start eradicating the aristocratic forces, and the Wu clan finally broke up within two years. โ€

"That night, I should have shown up to stop that fight. But for some reason, I didn't perceive the aura of that maiko, only the aura of Wu Gongzi and that killer. I rushed over and separated the two of them. Suddenly, Wu Gongzi shouted at me, 'What are you doing here!' Then Wu Gongzi took a hard blow from the killer and left, the killer wanted to chase it, but I stopped him. The next day, I found out that there was such a thing as a maiko. โ€

"I've heard that the maiko were hiding in a warehouse for a while. So I hurried over and found there a broken ribbon with this piece of sapphire tied at the end of the ribbon. I know this crystal, called Twin Blood. Twin blood gives birth to a pair at a time, and even if it is slightly damaged, both pieces will be shattered at the same time. And when one crystal encounters blood, the color of the other will change from blue to red. This kind of twin blood is very precious, it should be a gift from Wu Gongzi to the maiko, and he probably realized the danger of the maiko because of the twin blood. โ€

"Wu Gongzi is Xi, right?" the last soldier couldn't help but ask. Although the answer is relatively obvious, in any case, it is difficult for the last soldier to associate this evil charm with the dream lover of the Xiling Maiden.

"Yes, that's why Xi hates me as an old man. It's not that I'm always getting in the way of their charms, it's that I couldn't save that maiko in the first place. โ€

"This can't be blamed on the seniors, no one has the ability and obligation to save everyone. Yan Yu said.

"I understand that, but I don't even feel it, I have to say I'm old. As a Guardian, it was my rereliction of duty. โ€

Hearing this, the last soldier had a sense of disobedience. When it comes to Shan Chenggang's strength, the concept of age is already very vague. Now Shan Chenggang is two hundred years old, who dares to say that he is old? Shan Chenggang observed Yi Sang with his breath, although it was not very accurate, but how could he not feel it at all?

"Far from it, I'm not done yet. A month after this incident, a newcomer joined the Meibu under the code name Xi. He can't escape my eyes, although he wears a ghost mask, I can feel that he is Wu Gongzi. Xi's actions in the charm department are particularly active, and as long as there are dangerous and difficult tasks, he will be seen. More than a year, about five hundred days ago, he seemed to have won an important task, and thus obtained the qualification to challenge the envoy of the enchantment department at that time. In that decisive battle, he won and became the new envoy of the Charm Ministry, and also became the Xi you see now. Well, that's the end of my story. โ€

"Thank you, seniors. Just, why are you saying this to me?"

"Hehe, I can feel that the situation is different now. Shan Huaiyan is looking for something, and one day, I, an old man, will stand in their way. You are the last soldier, right, you are from the Jiyan mercenary group, you fought with that Yizhao, killed Yan Hong, rescued Jin Huang, and today you are in trouble with Shan Huaiyan and Xi. Rest assured, when the storm comes, you won't be able to escape. It would be good for you to know more stories. Today I saved half your life, and in the future, I still ask you to bring the chaos to a place far away from Yisang. โ€

Hearing this, Yan Yu laughed directly. The last soldier was a little embarrassed, he thought that Shan Chenggang would say that it would trouble him to protect Yi Sang, but he didn't expect it to let him take the chaos a little farther.

Shan Chenggang also saw it, and smiled heartily: "Don't mind the old man, I'm cheap." Don't look at the Xiling Tomb has such a thing as a charm department and a city ban, but the people here hate the battlefield and are wary of the battlefield. And you are different, you are attached to the battlefield. So, how can I let you protect Yi Sang? Moreover, the more I try to protect something, the more I can't protect it. If you really want to protect it, stay away from it. โ€

"Okay, thank you for your advice. โ€

"I didn't point you out. Shan Chenggang smiled, got up, and left.

The last soldier saw Shan Chenggang disappear, and suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, and then he remembered the previous wound. When the blade stabbed into his right shoulder, the last soldier was exerting force, causing the wound to tear badly. I couldn't feel my concentration before, but now I couldn't help but gasp.

"The last soldier!" Yan Yu also noticed the wound of the last soldier, and hurriedly touched his waist, only then did he remember that his medicine box had been lost on the city tower. So Yan Yugai took out a few close-fitting silver needles from the placket of his clothes, stabbed them around the wound, and simply stopped the bleeding.

"It's you, don't let me pick up the medicine box. Now that there is no medicine, what should I do if I get infected?"

"With your medical skills, just stop the bleeding. Would you use the medicine? Don't cure it worse, hehe. The last soldier couldn't help but joke about Yan Yu.

"I said I would try to study medicine. Yan Yu said aggrievedly. Seeing this, the last soldier gently kissed Yan Yu's forehead.

"It's not a good place to stay for long, let's go. โ€

"If you go out now, will you be ambushed by them?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here alone. โ€
