But Ling Yun finally recovered a trace of consciousness from the coma, and in the fog, he seemed to hear someone calling him over and over again: "Commander Ling, Commander Ling, are you awake?" ……”

He opened his eyes tiredly, and stared for a long time before he could see the person in front of him.

I saw that this person was about fifty years old, with a scarf and sword sleeves, and a white dress; The only crane has a childish face, a straight nose and a straight mouth, three locks of beard, strong spirits, and chic and elegant. It was the old man in white that Ling Yun had interacted with twice in the past and had a life-saving grace for him, Mr. Changxi Jushi Lian.

That is, in the Lian Pavilion - of course, Ling Yun didn't know his identity yet.

Lian Tingzhong saw that he was looking at himself stupidly, so he gently sent his arm back into the brocade quilt, and said with a smile: "Commander Ling, how do you feel?" Is it better? ”

Ling Yun looked at the Lian Pavilion a little blankly, trying his best to gather his scattered thoughts, thinking about why he met him here?

Lian Tingzhong saw that he was just contemplating his eyebrows, so he said with concern: "Commander Ling, what's wrong with you?" Do you still feel uncomfortable somewhat? ”

Ling Yun shook his head and said, "No." Senior, you saved me again this time? ……”

Lian Tingzhong smiled and nodded, "Not bad!" ”

Ling Yun let out an "oh" and couldn't help but look around. It is a room furnished in a farmhouse with lattice latticework and red curtains on white curtain. When night fell, the candlelight flickered on and off, hiding the face in the pavilion in the shadows.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, silently recalling the scenes before he fell unconscious:

At that time, Du Zhenghai put the cold tip of the sword into his heart and was about to kill him; Suddenly, I heard a voice outside the door and shouted, "Stop!" ……”

Du Zhenghai was stunned for a moment, and a gust of wind outside carried something like a meteor, and it hit Du Zhenghai's shoulder blade acupoint! Du Zhenghai's body immediately stiffened, and he stood in place like a wooden chicken, unable to move.

At this moment, an old man in white walked in with an angry face; Ling Yun looked up and saw that it was this Changxi monk surnamed Lian.

Ling Yun was confused and wanted to say hello to him; This Mr. Lian didn't say a word, and suddenly shot like electricity, hitting his soft numbness and sleeping in several acupoints.

Ling Yun leaned back, and then he didn't know anything...... When he regained consciousness, he was lying on the bed in this farmhouse.

Seeing that Ling Yun was just bowing his head and groaning, Lian Ting said, "I know, Commander Ling must be wondering, why are you here?" It's like this: Didn't you and Lord Huanyu meet Du Zhenghai, who is also a disciple of mine. ”

Ling Yun raised his head in some surprise, "What? Du Zhenghai is your disciple? ”

Lian Tingzhong said: "Yes, after he was forced to leave the capital a few years ago because of the case of kidnapping Miss Ding, he was desperate, so he came to me and I took him in. ”

Ling Yun snorted lightly, as if thoughtful, but didn't say anything.

Lian Tingzhong glanced at him, and said, "Because he had a grudge with Commander Ling before, he wanted to kill you on impulse, but I found out in time and stopped him."

"And because you were so badly wounded that your life was in danger; That's why I took it upon myself to point your acupoints to prevent you from consuming internal strength again and damaging your body; After that, he joined forces with several other masters to heal your injuries - it is also Ling Commander Fu's great life, and he finally escaped this catastrophe......"

Ling Yun suddenly said, "So that's the case...... The seniors saved their lives several times, but Ling Yun couldn't repay them; Seniors, please accept Lingyun's worship! ”

He struggled to get up and wanted to thank him, only then did he realize that he was undressed, almost naked, and couldn't help but blush, extremely embarrassed.

Lian Tingzhong hurriedly helped him lie down again, and said kindly: "Commander Ling's injuries have not healed at this time, and his body is weak, so he can't move much. ”

Ling Yunxing's eyes turned, looked around, and asked, "Senior, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”

Lian Ting said: "Feiyun Villa, the old man's manor." ”

Ling Yun said: "Dare to ask the senior's name, until now Lingyun still doesn't know the name of the senior, it's really ashamed." ”

Lian Tingzhong said: "This is not in a hurry. Now the top priority, does Commander Ling meet the Lord of Huanyu first? In the few days that the county lord was in a coma under Commander Ling, he was already restless and worried. ”

At the mention of Huanyu, Ling Yun immediately remembered the Jinling Palace, and remembered Lu Wenzheng. His heart trembled, and he said urgently: "Senior, may I ask what day it is now?" ”

Lian Ting said: "Today is the twenty-first. ”

Ling Yun only felt a "bang" on his head, and was immediately frozen.

He remembered that the ten-day limit between Lord Lu and the emperor expired on the 16th of this month, and today is the 21st, which exceeded the five-day limit, is Lord Lu already ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore. His face was as dead as ashes, his eyes were straight, and he looked like he was stupid for a moment.

Seeing Ling Yun's terrifying expression, Lian Ting cautiously asked, "Commander Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Yun mustered up the courage to ask, "Senior, have you heard some news about the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department in the past few days?" ”

Lian Tingzhong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said gloomily: "Commander Ling, this ...... Don't ask. ”

Ling Yun sat up with support, grabbed the other party's arm tightly with trembling hands, and said hurriedly: "Senior Lian, please be sure to tell me the truth!" I know it's impossible to escape......"

Lian Tingzhong sighed heavily, helped Ling Yun to lie down, and said in a heavy tone: "Commander Ling, don't be excited, let me tell you slowly: just six days ago in the morning, someone sent two corpses to the Jinling Palace. These two corpses were mistaken for the ...... of Commander Ling and Lord Huanyu"

Ling Yun was surprised: "This ...... How can it be? ”

Lian Tingzhong continued: "The two corpses have disfigured faces, their flesh and blood are blurred, and their bodies are very similar to the two of you, and they are wearing the same clothes as you—their intention in doing this is naturally obvious: it is to frame Lord Lu. ”

Ling Yun said indifferently: "What happened later? ”

Lian Tingzhong said: "Later, this incident alarmed the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and there was an uproar in the court for a while: some ministers pleaded for Lord Lu, but some ministers had to ask the emperor to treat Lord Lu for the death penalty according to the ten-day period. The emperor was finally kind-hearted, and ordered Lord Lu to be put in prison first, saying that he would deal with it after he caught the murderer of Ling Commander and the county lord. ”

Ling Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, "So, Lord Lu is not dead yet!" ……”

Lian Tingzhong said again: "But yesterday I heard the news that on the 19th, an assassin sneaked into the prison and assassinated Lord Lu......

Ling Yun felt his head buzz suddenly, almost fainted, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then how is Lord Lu now?" ……”

Lian Tingzhong didn't speak, just looked at Ling Yun with a sad expression, his eyes full of tears.

In an instant, Ling Yun only felt that everything in front of him was shaking, and he muttered: "Impossible, impossible...... mouthful" opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood had choked out. He could no longer hear the anxious call of Lian Ting, and the whole reality came to naught in an instant......

Seeing that Ling Yun had fainted, Lian Ting hurriedly took his arm and called for him.

At this time, the figure of Wan Ting outside the door flashed, and a beautiful woman with a graceful demeanor broke in in panic and said anxiously: "What's wrong with him?" Is he okay? ……”

Lian Tingzhong sighed and said, "Chun'er, why are you becoming more and more unstable. Can a Lingyun make you rush like this? ”

Lian Nanchun's face flushed, and he lowered his head in disdain.

Lian Tingzhong said: "Don't worry, he's fine." He was just in a hurry and couldn't accept the cruel truth. ”……

Ling Yun didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and finally woke up. Faintly, he heard a sobbing in his ear, as if a woman was sobbing; Slowly opened his eyes, and saw a woman crying pear blossoms with rain, staring at him with affection.

Seeing that he was awake, the woman exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Ling, you have finally woken up!" ……”

This woman is the lord of Huanyu.

Ling Yun wanted to call her Linglong, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she said in a voiced voice: "County Lord! ……”

Huanyu said: "Don't call me the county lord, I like you or call me Linglong." ”

Ling Yun snorted coldly and said, "There is a difference between you and me, and the ministers don't dare!" ”

Huanyu said quietly: "Brother Ling, are you still angry with me?" In fact, I had to hide it from you at the beginning! Brother Ling, don't be angry with me anymore, okay? ”

Ling Yun couldn't help but think of Lord Lu's death again, he had already lost his proportions, and he was no longer in the mood to talk to Huanyu; He slowly closed his eyes, and Lord Lu's voice and smile appeared in front of him again. Thinking that he died for his own sake, Ling Yun's heart ached, and two lines of crystal tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.

As the saying goes: Men don't flick when they have tears. After being with Ling Yun for so long, Huanyu knew that he had a stoic and strong personality, and even if the knife was on his neck, his brows would not wrinkle, let alone cry sadly.

Now seeing him crying, Huanyu knew that he was really sad, and couldn't help but say sadly: "Brother Ling, you don't want to look like this, okay?" I know that Master Lu is dead, and you are very sad; But it won't help if you continue to be sad like this! …… And you know what, this looks like it makes me feel very distressed......"

Speaking of this, Huanyu suddenly lost his words; couldn't help blushing and lowered her head in a sneer.

Ling Yun didn't have the heart to care about the meaning and tone of her words anymore at this time, but said weakly: "You go out first, let me be quiet first." ”

Huanyu's mouth opened, and he wanted to say something more, but when he saw that he looked disheartened, he had to stop; I couldn't help but sigh and walked out. ……

Lingyun's silence is three days. He was lazy to eat and eat, didn't say a word, just lay on the bed and stared blankly at the roof.

He was thinking: Lord Lu will not die - because Lord Lu is auspicious, he will definitely turn evil into good fortune!

He thought again: Lord Lu was stabbed, who is the murderer? Who sent the fake corpses of himself and Huanyu to the Jinling Palace?

He tossed and turned, sleepless; After thinking about it, I came to only one conclusion: the culprit on Lord Lu and the murderer of Lord Lu should be the same group of people - the Heavenly Owl Organization!

Originally, as soon as Lu Wenzheng died, he only felt that the sky was dark and all his thoughts were lost; But I thought that the enemy was still at large in the world, and I was so self-defeating, and I didn't say anything about the enemy, and I was sorry for Lord Lu who was wronged in Jiuquan!

As a result, his desire to survive became strong again. He forced himself to eat and drink as before.

Three days later, he finally got out of bed, got dressed, and left the farm yard alone, wandering along the sheep intestine path in the mountains.

These farmhouse villages are built on low hills. It was autumn, and the original green mountains and green waters were desolate at this time; White grass and red leaves, bending in the wind. A clear stream flows around, and from time to time fallen leaves drift in, and with the flowing water leisurely into the distance.

Ling Yun sat down on a laundry stone, the spring water was tinkling, crisp and pleasant, but there was no sense of musicality in his ears, but it seemed to be whimpering in a low voice.

He thought: Without further ado, he and the county lord of Huanyu should immediately rush back to the capital, go to see the prince of Jinling, and go to see the emperor, so as to clear Lord Lu's injustices - so that Lord Lu should be blind even under Jiuquan.

As soon as he thought of returning to Beijing, Ling Yun suddenly remembered: He had asked Du Zhenghai to send the county lord of Huanyu back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and Du Zhenghai also agreed to him at that time, but in the end, how did things develop to this point?

So, he began to carefully sort out every detail of what had happened in the past few days, and at the same time, he was also thinking hard about what was wrong. ……

He thought again: This time he and Huanyu escaped this catastrophe, thanks to the life-saving grace of Mr. Lian; He should go to Mr. Lian immediately, thank him for saving his life, and at the same time bid him farewell.

With this in mind, he was about to get up, but suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and turned around, only to see Lian Ting walking with a smile.

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It was really "a little bit of a good idea", and he began to believe in the providence in the dark.

Lian Tingzhong took the lead in opening his mouth: "Commander Ling, why don't you say anything when you go out, let me find it easily." ”

Ling Yun said: "Dare to bother with the seniors, Ling Yun is really uneasy in his heart. Seniors are in a hurry to get here, isn't there something important? ”

Lian Ting said: "Yes. The old man had something to tell Commander Ling. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I've found out who the corpse blamed and who killed Lord Lu!"

Ling Yun was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
