Chapter 530 - Goodbye to the Beard
The disciples were at a loss, but when they heard this, they remembered that on the way home, the dumb master was satisfied with the senior brother, and knew that it was always right to obey the orders of the senior brother, so he hurriedly carried the unconscious man into the room.
Liang Ji saw that the master didn't say anything more, and secretly thought that he should have guessed the right meaning of the master, and wanted to continue to ask for rewards, but saw that the master had already entered the room by himself and closed the door.
Rubbing his sore arm from lifting the man, the disciples stepped forward and asked curiously, "Senior brother, what is the use of this man?"
"Shhhh I heard that Uncle Shi has a strange personality, could it be that he is good at Longyang?"
"What nonsense, didn't you see the short blade in his hand? I heard that his short blade is highly poisonous, and he likes to test poison with living people on weekdays..." Liang Ji stopped the nonsense of his junior disciples, his triangular eyes were full of jealousy, and he said softly.
"I think that man will not survive today... It's a pity, that man practices external skills, and he is the most suitable to make pill food with his blood..." Worried that his master and uncle had profound skills and could hear everyone whispering outside, Liang Ji lowered his voice a little, led everyone away from this room, and explained while walking towards the residence of the disciple in Lingzhong.
"A few of you, remember that Master is not in the mountains, and if I annoy my master, I won't be able to save you."
"Senior brother, don't worry, let's take your lead as a guide."
"Okay, there is a shortage of manpower in the mountain right now, and the master has not returned to Wangxiangpo yet, but can you get rid of the Dan grain, cheer me up, and make a good patrol..."
After Liang Ji finished his order, he led everyone to inspect the mountains, but he never noticed that the door of the wooden house behind him was empty, and the people in the house looked at the back of himself and the others, and the conversation had already fallen into the ears of the people behind the door, until everyone was far away, and the door of the house was quietly covered.
The red robe carefully inspected the inside and outside of the house, and made sure that no one was snooping, so he turned around, hurried to the couch, stirred the red robe, and pointed his sword at the chest of the unconscious strong man on the couch.
With the internal force of the fingertips into the acupuncture points on the chest, the man's closed eyes on the couch trembled slightly for a moment, slowly opened, and saw the shadow of the red robe in a hazy way, his mind was not yet settled, his eyes suddenly opened, and he subconsciously wanted to bounce up from the couch, but was pulled back by a call.
"Brother Xue, it's me... Gu Xiao!"
When he rescued him in the dense forest before, he only hurriedly said a few words, and he didn't have time to say more, but when he woke up Xue Hu, he found that he was almost like the reckless man he met in the Liangzhou foot shop that day.
Gu Xiao had never seen such a frightened look in Xue Hu's eyes, so he hurriedly took off the hood that covered his face, revealed his face, and whispered to Xue Hu who had flashing eyes: "Brother Xue... Brother Xue..."
After a series of calls, he finally saw the young man's face clearly, and Xue Hu slowly came back to his senses, until he was sure of the person in front of him, and the horror and vigilance in his eyes slowly disappeared.
"Brother Xue, where are Uncle Li and Lin'er? What happened under Xiaolou Peak that day?" Gu Xiao saw that Xue Hu recognized him, and asked as low as he could.
Xue Hu shook his head vigorously, as if he was relaxing his tense nerves in the Wicked Ridge these days, fighting for his life, always on guard, and never talking to people, so that he was eager to speak, a little speechless, "babbling" for a long time, before he could speak smoothly. grabbed the young man's arm, and the bearded man looked helpless in his eyes.
"Gu... Brother Gu, I... Lao Xue lost his master!"
Seeing Xue Hu's appearance, Gu Xiao's heart suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Brother Xue, you... What's wrong with Lin'er!"
"Xue Hu is not good at learning and has failed to protect his master!" Although Xue Hu was full of beard and looked vicious, he was actually a loyal person, and at this moment, he was only worried about the safety of his master, and he was deeply guilty, as if he didn't hear Gu Xiao's words at all, and only muttered and repeated in his mouth.
The more this is the case, the more anxious Gu Xiao becomes, no matter what Xue Hu said, or the look on his face, it made Gu Xiao fall into the ice cellar, and he didn't care about being in the villain's ridge, he clenched the bearded man's thick arm with his backhand, and the true qi was transmitted into his body, and his voice was a few points higher.
"Brother Xue, tell me quickly, what's wrong!"
Under the young man's sharp voice and internal force, Xue Hu finally sobered up a little, turned his gaze and spoke.
"Brother Mu, that day, we were outside Xiaolou Peak, and we acted separately, and I protected my master Ben to fight those people in the forest... But suddenly, the two people in red and blue robes broke into the forest, and they stood in place, cheering for the death fight in the valley... I was just as I was amazed at how these two people broke into the forest silently without anyone noticing, and a few white-clothed people with swords appeared in the forest... It seems to be waiting for me."
Hearing Xue Hu's words, Gu Xiao suddenly thought that when she first met Miss Jiang, she was looking for the figure of the same door under Xiaolou Peak, and the two fought each other, and then they got acquainted, and they were about to ask each other but listened to Xue Hu's words.
"Those people seem to have known the red and blue robes for a long time, and after seeing me and waiting, they didn't say a word, and started directly... The head of Tianya and the people under the Thousand Blades have already lost the battle... I was defeated and captured by them."
Gu Xiao heard Xue Hu say that he was captured by the red robe in Murong Valley under Xiaolou Peak that day, and he couldn't hide his shock, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "The red robe in Brother Xue's mouth should be a person in Murong Valley, but who is the blue robe?" The other line of sword bearers is a disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect, a fellow disciple of Miss Jiang... How could it be, obviously I happened to break in, how did I get it from Brother Xue's mouth, and I became acquainted with each other for a long time, and I came at them, could it be that Miss Jiang lied to me..."
Puzzled for a moment, Gu Xiao instantly denied the possibility of Jiang Ningxue deceiving himself: "No! If you want to cover up this matter, Miss Jiang doesn't need to mention Murong Valley, let alone follow me all the way to investigate the clues to the valley, these days, Miss Jiang has been born and died with me, she is by no means that kind of person... In that case, there may be only one possibility..."
The starry eyes flickered, and the doubts disappeared a little, but at the moment this is not the most important thing, withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Xiao opened his mouth to ask about the fact that everyone was captured in the Murong Valley, Xue Hu seemed to be also infected by the young man's calmness, and finally stabilized his mind and told him all the matters after entering the valley.
"I waited into this Murong Valley, and it was not here that I arrived first, I and my master or the head of the ruler and the others were all ordered to fix the acupoint, and I couldn't move, I only vaguely remembered that the place was bitterly cold, and it was several times colder than the cold winter in Liangzhou..." Although a short time has passed, Xue Hu still has palpitations when he thinks about it.
When Gu Xiao met Xue Hu in Liangzhou, he already knew that he practiced foreign skills and was not afraid of the cold, even in such a cold day in Liangzhou, he only wore single clothes, which could make him feel cold, I am afraid that it is much colder than the winter in Yanbei.
After entering Murong Valley, whether it is the terracotta warriors waterway in the valley, or the spring in Wangxiangpo, or the slippery slope of the wicked mountain, it is not the cold place in Brother Xue's mouth, so where is the cold place that Brother Xue stayed in when he entered the valley...
Before he could figure it out, he heard Xue Hu continue: "I don't know how long I've been there, but I'm all unconscious under the cold, only... Only the master has been chattering..."
Raising his gaze, Xue Hu stared at the young man in front of him: "The master is chattering... Let us persevere, and say that Brother Gu will definitely come to rescue us..."
When the young man heard this, the gentleness and guilt in his starry eyes were intertwined, turning into a little lovesickness, he was silent for a moment, and when he was about to continue to ask, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly motioned for Xue Hu to lie down as before, and he reached out and pulled up the hood behind him to cover his face.
"Uncle... Uncle Shi..." was about to do everything, and Liang Ji's cautious voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Xue, I'm offended!" Tightly grasped the red robe's quenching dagger, hid it under the red robe, and signaled to Xue Hu to speak.
Xue Hu immediately understood, the young man was worried that he would pretend to faint, and he would be seen by the group of red-robed disciples, and the best disguise was that he really fainted, so he immediately nodded at him.
Gu Xiao's sword pointed out again, and the disease was on the chest of the bearded man, Xue Hu, who had never resisted with his luck, immediately fainted again, and then grabbed Brother Xue's cuffs, and his fingertips cut through some skin on his arm...
After doing all this, the young man calmly paced to the bookcase in the room, sat upright in his robe, and waited for the door to call eagerly, and then he waved his hand towards the lightly covered wooden door.
Outside the door, Liang Ji and the others were anxiously pacing back and forth, and the master didn't open the door, maybe he was testing the poison with that bearded man, if he was disturbed at this time, he couldn't afford it...
"Senior brother, Golden Rooster Building
The envoy has arrived, and the master is not in the mountains, if we don't invite the master to come forward, I'm afraid we won't be able to provoke it..." The juniors and disciples beside him shuddered when they thought of the group of evil stars in the Jinji Tower, so they had to open their mouths and urge the senior brother to knock on the door again.
Just when everyone hesitated, the door of the room behind them opened, Liang Ji and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly walked into the room respectfully, seeing the master sitting on the bookcase, his cold eyes rushed to his face, so that all the red-robed disciples looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.
Liang Ji swept his eyes, and saw that the cuffs of the bearded man had been opened, and the wound on his arm was red and blood was oozing out, and he suddenly confirmed in his heart that he had guessed that Shi Boguo was using this bearded man to test poison.
Feeling that the eyes of the master in front of the bookcase fell, thinking of the envoy from Jinjiling, Liang Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Shi, someone from Jinji Building is here, saying that it is the day to send Dan again..."
Xu was worried that Uncle Shi would be angry with him, and at this point, Liang Ji hurriedly continued to explain: "It's not that we deliberately delay the delivery of Dan, there has been an incident of Dan grain escaping in Lingzhong recently, and Master is not in Lingzhong, and those people in Jinji Tower are arrogant..."
The words deliberately mentioned the attitude of the people from the Golden Rooster Building, Liang Ji's careful thinking, and the disciples behind him knew that as long as the master was dissatisfied with the group of people in the Golden Rooster Building, the focus would naturally be transferred from the loss of the Dan grain to the Jinji Building.
"What Senior Brother said is very true, how did the group of people in Jinji Tower know the difficulties of our wicked people's ridge..."
"Yes, these Danliang are not ordinary people, but they are all well-known masters in the rivers and lakes, and we are already understaffed..."
"Those disciples of the Golden Rooster Building, they don't look down on our wicked people on weekdays..."
Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, but I haven't finished speaking, but I saw that the master behind the bookcase had slowly got up, and the killing intent in the wooden house instantly diffused, so that the disciples of the Wicked Ridge who were still gossiping one moment ago were immediately silenced by the murderous intent in the next room, and focused their eyes on the senior brother Liang Ji.
Liang Ji was also shocked by the sword intent of the uncle, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the matter had come to this point, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to perform this play, and was about to speak, when he saw that the uncle who had already gotten up after the bookcase raised his hand to stop himself from making a gesture, and the hood that covered his face was slightly raised, looking out of the wooden house.
"Quick, lead the master to meet the people from the Golden Rooster Building!" Liang Ji reacted, and hurriedly shouted that everyone who was still in a daze next to him led the master to see someone from Jinji Tower.
