Chapter 17: The Return
The fog was thick, and a narrow official road winded up from the foot of the mountain, and two deep ruts lay in the middle of the road.
Along the official road, over the mountain, you will see a small post station standing on the side of the road.
Outside the inn stood a withered yellow bamboo pole with a dilapidated flag on it
The words on it are almost faded and cannot be read clearly. Behind the flagpole there is a very simple archway, made of two wooden sticks and a wooden board, and the plaque is engraved with the word "post station" with the paint off.
The flag swayed slightly in the mountain breeze and creaked.
There was a well outside the inn, and two sparrows stood on the roller pecking at the wood boringly, making a rhythmic "empty" sound from time to time.
"This is the closest post station to Yuzhou City, and you can return to Yuzhou City in two days," Li Zhu raised his hand and muttered as he tasted the teacup and shook it lightly.
Suddenly, Li Zhu put down the teacup and put on a golden mask
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and Li Zhu followed the sound to look.
I saw a white-haired young man holding a slender girl, riding a tall horse out of the thick fog, galloping towards here.
"Zhang Zifan, the girl in her arms is Lu Linxuan, it's a little interesting, it's really time to come back."
The boy jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the postman, and then took the girl down and walked quickly to the inn. The whole series of movements was done in one go, and he said anxiously while moving.
"Quick, I want an upper room, make a basin of hot water, tie the door, and no one is allowed to come in!"
Zhang Zifan walked to the door, turned around,
Seeing that Yicheng was standing there and still didn't move, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and scolded sharply.
"Waiting there to die? Don't go yet! ”
glanced at Li Zhu, who was sitting next to him casually, and always felt a little strange, this costume seemed to have been heard somewhere.
Then the door of the guest room was kicked open, and Zhang Zifan rushed in with Lu Linxuan in his arms.
As soon as the boy placed the girl on the bed, there was a sound of rustling footsteps outside the door. Yi Cheng walked in with a towel on his shoulder and a wooden basin in both hands.
He quickly put the wooden basin on the shelf, put the towel on it, and before he could say a word, he heard a loud yell.
"Get out! No peeking! ”
This voice made Li Zhu outside a little stunned and smiled
"It's no wonder that childhood sweethearts can't compare to falling from the sky, it's very interesting."
There was silence outside the post station, the flag was shaken by the morning breeze, and the wheels at the mouth of the well creaked and creaked.
But in the house of this post station, Li Zhu, who has deep internal strength, listened to the hurried voice inside.
Zhang Zifan took off the towel and threw it in the basin, the girl was still lying unconscious on the bed, her face was pale, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and she looked very painful.
After a while, the young man took the wrung out towel and turned back to the bed, carefully wiped the stains off Lu Linxuan's face, and then threw the towel to the ground.
He helped the girl on the bed to sit up, helped her sit cross-legged, and the unconscious Lu Linxuan was at the mercy of Zhang Zifan.
When he was ready, the boy looked sad and sat cross-legged behind the girl.
He took a deep breath, the aura in his body was vigorous, and he lifted his qi to his palms and pressed it on Lu Linxuan's back.
The girl was shocked, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out from her lips, splashing on the bed net.
At the door, Yi Cheng was lying on his stomach and peeking into the room with his eyes squinted, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw this scene. Then he remembered something, hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, turned his back against the door, and didn't dare to make a sound.
Li Zhu, who was sitting next to him and watching the excitement, felt a little bored
"It's time to go back, too"
Li Zhu stood up, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, it was the direction of Yuzhou City, and he didn't know what he was thinking under the golden mask.
Valley of the Hidden Soldiers.
In a quiet room, the door was gently pushed open, and the bad handsome man wearing a mask slowly stepped in and came to Li Xingyun, who was lying on the ground, unconscious.
I don't know why, Bad Shuai quietly looked at Li Xingyun who was lying on the ground, and sighed softly, his voice was inaudible.
Behind him stood a middle-aged man with a clear face, standing expressionlessly beside his seriously injured and unconscious apprentice, motionless, and also looked at the masked man standing in front of him, as if he was a little puzzled whether the bad handsome had just sighed.
The bad handsome looked down at Li Xingyun again, not knowing what he was thinking, and looked up at him again after a while.
I saw that Uncle Yang's face was sinking like water, and his eyes were empty, like a stone statue.
"You know what to do, you don't need me to repeat it, do you?"
Walking inside, after standing with their backs to the master and apprentice for a while, the bad handsome's hoarse tone sounded.
Uncle Yang was still silent, his bad handsome dark red eyes were indifferent and ruthless, like ice and snow, and when he turned around and strode towards the door, the second sentence echoed in the room.
"Then let's start, at night, at night I must see the results!"
With that, he walked out of the room, and at the same time as the sound of the door closing, came an even colder command.
"No one is allowed to come near this room without my orders!"
"Yes"
The bad handsome man standing outside the door did not leave immediately, he stood quietly at the door, as if he saw the figure under the golden mask he had seen again, and then left.
Hearing the footsteps of the bad handsome in the distance, Uncle Yang looked down at Li Xingyun who was lying on the ground, as if the bad handsome at this moment made him feel something unusual today.
