Chapter 61: Soul Locking Incense
Zhou Xue's performance made Li Yi's heart almost gray in an instant, his eyes were completely bloodshot and turned red, and Li Yi desperately wanted to rush to Zhou Xue's side.
"Young master, don't be impulsive, Miss Zhou Xue is not dead, she is just in a coma, I can still feel her qi and blood!" Standing beside Li Yi, Li Qingquan was carefully paying attention to Li Yi's changes, so Li Yi stopped him as soon as he made a move.
Hearing Li Qingquan's words, Li Yi's movements finally stopped, and Zhou Xue's performance was as if she was looking at him for the last time, and that kind of look made Li Yi almost die of pain. In fact, this is not to blame Zhou Xue, there is no cultivation, and the body is so uncomfortable, it is almost difficult to breathe, Zhou Xue really thought that he was going to die.
The movement stopped, Li Yi sensed it carefully, and immediately noticed that Zhou Xue on the bed was still breathing. Although his heart was still cramping, Li Yi still calmed down quickly, after the initial excitement, now Li Yi already knows that he must stay awake, if he is messing up at this time, Zhou Xue will be really dangerous.
Taking a deep breath hard, Li Yi turned around and walked out of the room.
"Uncle Qing, immediately invite the best doctor in the city to diagnose and treat Xiaoxue, and offer a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, as long as Xiaoxue can be saved, we will pay the big price!" After leaving the room, Li Yi immediately gave the first order.
Nodding, Li Qingquan turned to a martial artist behind him and said, "Have you heard what the eldest young master said?" do what the eldest young master asked, go and invite a famous doctor to come over as soon as possible, don't be limited to Heyang City, the doctor in the provincial city should also be invited!"
"Yes!" saluted respectfully, and a martial artist behind Li Qingquan immediately turned his head and ran away.
After explaining the matter of asking a doctor for Zhou Xue, Li Yi's mood has settled down a little, and his thinking has become active.
Now he must first figure out what kind of way the people who came to attack this time, in Heyang City, and even in the entire Tianhe Province, there will not be too many people who dare to argue with the Li family.
"Uncle Qing, what do you think of this incident? You should have seen the person who sneaked attack, what kind of cultivation is that person? How could he sneak in so easily, who is the guard warrior on duty today?"
The beloved woman was hurt, this is something that Li Yi absolutely can't bear, in this matter, Li Yi will definitely track down those who dare to attack the Li family and Zhou Xue, and if the martial artists in his own family also have unfavorable guards, then Li Yi will not tolerate it.
After listening to Li Yi's words, Li Qingquan's face also showed a trace of gloom, and he made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi, Li Qingquan said, "Young master, it's not that our people don't do their best, you please come with me, just look at you." ”
The expression on Li Qingquan's face was very strange, as if he was unwilling, and seemed to have a trace of fear, as well as a little helplessness and heartache.
Without knowing what to do, Li Yi followed behind Li Qingquan, passed through the small garden in the middle of the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived, and the two came to the courtyard facing the street.
There, a corpse was still lying on the ground, not even moving, and the entire courtyard, including the streets outside, had been placed under martial law by the officers and soldiers of Heyang City.
Next to that corpse, several Li family warriors were still gathered there, and the expressions on their faces were all frightened and fearful.
"Young Master, this is our family's martial artist Tian Yue, he is the only one who has ever approached that assassin, you can see his wounds. Walking over with Li Yi, Li Qingquan pointed to the corpse on the ground and spoke.
The clothes on the corpse's chest had been torn open, and a gray wound the size of a thumb belly was imprinted on his heart, and there was no blood coming out of the wound, not even black and blue, but some gray color, and there was a clear downward depression.
"What kind of wound is this?" The shape of the wound on the warrior's chest Li Yi had never seen before, there was no bleeding, it was not red and swollen, and although the depression on it was the size of a thumb belly, it was not caused by the finger being directly imprinted, could such a wound also directly put people to death?
With a heavy face, Li Qingquan took a deep look at the corpse on the ground, and said faintly, "Young Master, this is a wound caused by the real force bursting out of the body, the real power sent out by the assassin directly penetrated Tian Yue's heart, and after entering the body, the real power may explode directly, if we put aside Tian Yue's chest, we can definitely see that Tian Yue's heart is estimated to have been blown up at this moment." ”
"True power out of the body! Could it be that the assassin is an innate martial artist!" Hearing Li Qingquan's words, even with Li Yi's knowledge, he felt cold in his heart for a moment.
Those who want to be unfavorable to Zhou Yun are some nobles in Heyang City, these nobles are generally not as strong as their Li family, besides, the Qin family, which is the most powerful among the nobles of Heyang City, has no enmity with Zhou Yun, and some of the rest of the families cannot have such a strong martial artist as an innate martial artist.
Sighing silently, Li Qingquan said, "Young Master, although I can't believe it, this is indeed true, I also had a face-to-face with the assassin when he was about to leave after poisoning, but I didn't see his appearance clearly, I was only attacked by his voice explosion, I almost had half a breath of time in my mind for a moment of confusion, and when I woke up, the assassin had already left." ”
His brows furrowed tightly, Li Yi was also a little confused at this time, he had thought that Zhou Yun would be retaliated against by some nobles, and the treasure box of the Shenwei General on his body would also be coveted by some ill-intentioned people, but Li Yi never thought that there would be a strong person at the level of an innate martial artist.
"Young master, please come over, he is waiting for you in the study. Just when Li Yi's heart was confused, a subordinate hurriedly ran over and spoke at Li Yi.
Hearing that it was his father's call, Li Yi's thoughts were also pulled back.
"Okay, I'll go over now. In response, he immediately explained that Li Qingquan and the others continued to guard strictly, and he turned around and walked to the core area of the Li family's mansion.
The Li family is the only big nobleman in Heyang City, and the mansion is even larger than the Qin family, and the layout of it shows a sense of elegance everywhere. The Li family started as a businessman, and was not like most nobles in the Tianyuan Dynasty who were commanded by martial artists, so the mansion was naturally built more neatly and exquisitely.
Walking through the garden, Li Yi came directly to the main garden where the head of the Li family lived.
The study lights have been lit, and because of such a thing, all the martial artists of the Li family have been called, and there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the entire mansion, and the defense level has increased by several levels at once.
But Li Yi knew that the Li family's cultivation was the highest person, and he only had the level of the peak of practicing muscles, and he was the personal guard of his father Li Changan.
In an instant, Li Yi felt the sorrow of a merchant aristocratic family, compared to the Qin family, who was aggressive in Heyang City and wanted to replace the Li family as a great family, the Li family's force was indeed too weak.
It is rumored that there are three martial artists in the Qin family who practice the realm of blood exchange, among which the old master of the Qin family may have broken through to the realm of the martial saint of the I Ching, and in the face of the strength of the Qin family, Li Yi really doesn't know how long his family's status as a great family can be maintained.
After thinking about it, Li Yi had already walked to the door of the study, "Father, I'm here." ”
"Well, Xiaoyi, come in. In the study, a calm voice also came out.
With his father's permission, Li Yi also pushed the door and walked in.
In the study, an emaciated old man with a serene and peaceful complexion was sitting quietly behind the mahogany bookcase, silently looking at the scroll in his hand.
"Father, you're looking for me. "The merchant's house, the etiquette is thorough, and Li Yi saluted his father respectfully as soon as he entered the house. Although Zhou Xue had such a big thing, Li Yi's heart was already very confused, but these etiquettes still had to be thorough.
Nodding, Li Changan put down the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Li Yi. Seeing that although his son's face was a little pale, his eyes were still bright, and he was obviously not disturbed by this incident, Li Changan also nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Li Yi, Li Changan asked, "Xiaoyi, how is Xiaoxue doing over there?"
His complexion changed slightly, and Li Yi said in a low voice, "The situation is not optimistic, we still don't know what kind of poison is in Xiaoxue, and the two martial artists who have come into contact with Xiaoxue are also in a bad situation now." ”
After listening to Li Yi's words, Li Changan also nodded silently, with a trace of amazement on his face. For Zhou Xue, Li Changan is also very satisfied, although she is from a humble background, Zhou Xue is a girl with a tough personality and a touching talent, and the status gap between Zhou Xue and the Li family is very large.
However, with Zhou Yun being admitted to the Shenwei training camp as the first place in Heyang City's martial arts, a bright future is just around the corner, and Li Changan also acquiesced in the marriage of Li Yi and Zhou Xue.
Naturally, he could see his son's feelings for Zhou Xue, and now that something like this happened, Li Changan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaoxue told you not to inform Zhou Yun about this matter, what do you think?" breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the trace of sorrow in his heart, Li Changan said. Although he didn't go to the small courtyard where Zhou Xue lived in person, the situation over there would naturally be reported to Li Chang'an, and in this Li Mansion, there was nothing to hide from him.
As soon as Li Changan's words fell, Li Yi immediately said resolutely, "Of course you can't tell Zhou Yun about this, that assassin's cultivation is extremely high, if he is to kill someone, Xiaoxue will not survive, but he does not directly kill him, but poisons Xiaoxue and does not die for a while, in order to lure Zhou Yun out." If we inform Zhou Yun, didn't we fall for the other party's tricks? Then the innate martial artist must be waiting for Zhou Yun to appear and kill him. Xiaoxue Bingxue is smart, and she must know this, so she will have such an explanation. ”
After a pause, Li Yi continued to speak, "With the strength of our Li family, there is no problem in finding all the famous doctors nearby, according to me, we should help Xiaoxue heal the poison on his body as soon as possible, and then let him enter my Li family's secret room, so that there will be no problem." No matter how high the assassin's cultivation is, he will not dare to do anything more excessive in my Li family, otherwise, the imperial court will not let them go. ”
With Li Yi's cleverness, as long as he calms down, many suspicious points in this assassination incident can be easily found by him, and the real purpose of the assassin Li Yi is also analyzed very thoroughly.
Moreover, although the Li family does not have a strong warrior, but its status in the Tianyuan Dynasty is not low at all, the imperial court is fighting in all directions, and the money and grain required are almost astronomical, and the Li family, as the largest merchant family in the Central Plains and southwestern provinces, has made a great contribution to the dynasty's financial resources, and such a contribution is far from being comparable to several strong warriors.
Therefore, even if the Qin family's force had reached such a strong point, it still could not easily shake the Li family's status.
After listening to Li Yi's words, Li Changan also showed a wry smile on his face, nodded, and shook his head again.
Seeing his father's appearance, Li Yi immediately became anxious, "Father, what do you mean?"
Sighing silently, Li Changan looked at the night sky outside the window, and said quietly, "Xiaoyi, after listening to the report of the next person, my father probably guessed what kind of poison was in Xiaoxue." The poison was seen by his father in the early years when he was doing business in the northwest, it was from the Persian Dynasty, called Soul Lock Incense, which is a strange poison that eats away at the soul, the poisoned person's body is black, his consciousness is chaotic, and he gradually becomes stupid, but he will not die soon. Until the whole person's soul is corroded, it will become a dried corpse. There is no cure for this poison, and once poisoned, it is almost impossible to survive. ”
"What!" As soon as Li Changan's words fell, Li Yi immediately exclaimed!
