My hands, my feet, my torso...... It's all back. It hurts...... The pain was so painful that I couldn't stop praying. How can it be so hot...... It's as hot as summer in Zhuxian Village, and at noon, wrap yourself in the thickest quilt and bask in the sun...... One after another, thoughts came out of Sheng Yu's mind, and he clearly felt that he was about to wake up, and the turmoil, entanglement, and pain in his brain also receded like a tide.

I survived. The last one flashed through his mind, and Sheng Yu Ash woke up. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the cave wall above my head, and there were a lot of stalactites hanging down from the cave wall, which was extremely rare in the Xiangzhou area.

This is the second time I have been closed in the ghost gate, and the feeling of escaping death is certainly gratifying, but the feeling of facing death is really not wonderful, at least it is not a pleasant thing.

Rather than hovering on the brink of death, all people will choose a peaceful and stable life. But Sheng Yu Ember had a feeling that this was the second time he had faced death, but it was by no means the last.

At this point, he knows exactly what kind of person he is. Like Jiang Xiaoshu, a person who is always in trouble and always on the road.

It's called

"Chivalry", but Sheng Yuyan prefers to call this kind of behavior

"It's so painful to be idle". Sheng Yu Ember looked at the cave wall above his head, the cave wall took on a dark yellow, or orange color is more appropriate, and it was full of warmth and hope when he looked at it.

The dark yellow light is not very stable, and sometimes it flickers, and every then the shadow of those stalactites will fall down in an instant, and finally return to darkness.

Dark? Oh, it's already night, and I've been asleep for a long time. Sheng Yu looked at the night sky outside the cave, as if he had suddenly noticed it, there was wind outside the cave, blowing across the valley, through the dense woods, that whining sound, in the night to listen to is really flattering, it sounds like a wolf howl.

Sheng Yushen suddenly found that when he thought of the wolf howl, the whining sound suddenly became pleasant, which made him feel a certain familiarity and eagerness, and a pride was born in his chest, and he wanted to howl for a long time.

Sheng Yuyan stared at the dark night for a long time, listening to the whining wind, thoughtful.

"It's dark, so fascinating?" A crisp sound came from inside the cave, interrupting Sheng Yuyan's contemplation, he turned his head with some difficulty, and saw that he was lying next to a fire, which was the source of light and shadow on the cave wall, and on the opposite side of the fire, Liu Lingwei sat cross-legged, staring at himself intently.

"Hey, what about you," Liu Lingwei said angrily:

"Ever since you woke up, you've been looking outside, and I think what's going on, but after watching it for a long time, it's so dark outside, I can't see anything clearly." Sheng Yu Ember thought for a moment, and then said:

"The wind outside sounds like a wolf howling......"

"Ah, wolf!" Before he finished speaking, Liu Lingwei showed horror on her face:

"You—don't scare me by talking nonsense...... Senior brother is out, you can't move, I don't know martial arts, there are really wolves, we are finished. ”

"There are very few wolves in Xiangzhou, and you have crossbow arrows, so you are not afraid of these beasts." Sheng Yuyan shook his head slightly, and then corrected:

"And I'm just saying that the wind sounds like a wolf's howl."

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me, why do you think that? ”

"I don't know, but I think it's familiar......"

"You're a wolf, a wolf, of course you're familiar."

"It's a pity I can't think of anything."

"Then don't think about it," Liu Lingwei said and got up, then walked over, gently helped Sheng Yuyan up, and leaned against the boulder behind him:

"I have something to ask you." Sheng Yuyan finally understood why when he was in a coma, the sensation of his limbs and torso would gradually recover, but it was so hot that he couldn't do it - he was tightly wrapped in bandages and cotton from his head and neck down, especially the most serious wound in the dantian, which was wrapped very thickly, more than an inch high.

I look like a big silkworm chrysalis...... However, Liu Lingwei's bandaging level is still much better than before.

Thinking like this, Sheng Yuyan couldn't help but shake his head, and then he said:

"What do you want to know?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Lingwei, who was originally very talkative, suddenly fell silent, she stared at Sheng Yuyan, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and after a long time, she said softly:

"What happened to you?" Sheng Yu Ember nodded:

"Oh, after you and your senior brother left in Zhijiang, on the Longjin Bridge, we met the little fish girl jumping into the river, Jiang Xiaoshu jumped down to save ......"

"Let's not talk about that." Liu Lingwei interrupted him, and then gently reached out to hold the bandaged palm of Yu Yu's hand:

"I mean the wounds." Dozens of pounds of sandbags, small hammers for hitting ribs, iron brushes for deboning, and red-hot iron splints...... These things flashed in Sheng Yu's mind, like a marquee, and each thing appeared for a very short time, but it was extremely clear, as if it had just happened.

He said:

"Caught." Liu Lingwei bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze:

"And then?" Sheng Yu Ember shook his head:

"Nope." Liu Lingwei was stunned:

"What?" Sheng Yu Ember thought for a moment, and then said:

"Well, a little bit missing."

"One, one point?"

"I'm alive." Liu Lingwei looked up at him, the tears in her eyes gradually disappeared, and the hazy tears began to become clear, her eyes were not sad, but full of pride.

Liu Lingwei clenched the palm of the ember:

"Yes, you're still alive, that's enough." Sheng Yu Ember nodded:

"So what else do you want to ask?" Liu Lingwei sat down and leaned lightly on Sheng Yuyan's side:

"As you said earlier, Little Fish Girl jumped into the river, and then?"

"When we rescued her, we learned that she was persecuted by Jiang Yue and Wang Kui...... In the evening of the same day, the eastern suburbs of Zhijiang ...... After Wang Kui's death, we came to Wuling County to find Xiaolan...... After learning from Jiang Xiaoshu, he was suddenly accused of being imprisoned...... Jiang Yue helped Lianghong to explain...... I was pinned by a combination of three masters...... Two days later, I woke up and was arrested under the joint attack of Brother Dulong and the official Kuai...... Ten days later, it's now. Sheng Yuyan made a long story short, and talked about what happened after Liu Lingwei left, and the more Liu Lingwei listened, the more frightened she became—I didn't expect them to experience so many dangers during the time I was away...... Then she frowned and said:

"Listening to what you say, Jiang Xiaoshu's framing came from the Jiang Yue Gang?" Sheng Yu Ember nodded:

"Of course it's them, they used Zhou Zide, a jealous and hateful official, to send Jiang Xiaoshu to the capital for trial, in order to achieve their ulterior motives, and in the end Jiang Xiaoshu had an accident, only Zhou Zide will be held accountable, but they can get away with it...... Hmph, what a good calculation. Liu Lingwei thought for a moment, and then asked:

"In the Wuling Inn that day, the three people who attacked you seemed to be Wu Gongzi's right-hand man, the three swordsmen, right?"

"Three swordsmen?"

"Intelligence shows that they are from the Dry Bone Palace, have followed Wu Gongzi for many years, and have blocked countless secret assassinations for Wu Gongzi, their martial arts are very strong, and the cooperation of the three is even more exquisite, just like a person with three heads and six arms, he has secretly attacked and killed many masters."

"Hmm," Sheng Yushen frowned:

"The three people who attacked me that day, each of them is not weak in martial arts, but if they fight alone, they are inferior to me, but the three of them attack together, one attack, one defends, and one controls the overall situation...... When I tried to retreat, I found that I had already fallen into their encirclement, and they completely blocked my back road, and gradually squeezed inward, hmm...... It turned out that they were called the Three Knife Officers, and they were very strong, really strong. Liu Lingwei asked:

"How strong is it?" Sheng Yu Ember recalled:

"Hmm...... At the fifty-seventh move, one of them threw a high rise that hit me in the left shoulder. I fell to the ground in pain, and then immediately rolled on the ground, but before I could get up, the fifty-eighth move came again, and the person made a fan of a certain sect in Jingzhou, and the iron fan closed in an instant, and poked it in my chest. The fifty-ninth move, the person with the strongest martial arts, the left hand made a move in Qingyun's hand 'high and wide', attacking the top of my head, as soon as I opened it, the hidden tiger claw in his right hand suddenly attacked, grabbed my waist and eyes, and then, I felt that the lower half of my body immediately lost consciousness, and I couldn't use any strength, and fell to the ground softly, and the three of them rushed up, trying to catch me......" Liu Lingwei hurriedly asked:

"And then?" Sheng Yu Ember took a deep breath:

"Hmm...... In the last move, I made a newly comprehended knife technique, landed on the ground, and the two knives turned together, injuring Bu Gaosheng's chest and Ping Qingyun's legs, but after all, I failed to hurt Wan Fuyao, and the back of the neck was hit, and my eyes were dark, and I fainted...... In the end, he was captured by them. ”

"Even you can only hold sixty moves, the kung fu of these three people is really ......"

"Not as good as Zhu Yujin, but better than your senior brother."

"That's already strong." Liu Lingwei sighed, and then couldn't help but say:

"So, the person who attacked you was indeed the Three Blades?" Sheng Yu Ember was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Didn't you just talk about the Three Blades all along?" Liu Lingwei shook her head and said in a deep voice:

"But according to the information we have received, Wu Gongzi and the three sword officials have already died, and they died on the day you were attacked."

"Dead! This...... cough cough cough ......" Sheng Yu Ember heard it for the first time, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he exclaimed, pulling the wound, and coughing involuntarily.

Liu Lingwei patted him on the chest, and then said firmly:

"Wu Gongzi and the Three Dao Officials are indeed dead, and this matter has already spread all over Xiangzhou." Sheng Yu Ember with a dignified complexion:

"Wu Gongzi mainly sued for peace with me, but the last people who attacked me were his men; It was me who was obviously defeated, but he was the one who died in the end...... That's too weird. ”

"Yes," Liu Lingwei nodded:

"And you just said that after you were defeated by the Three Swordsmen, you fainted and woke up again, it was two days later, not only were you not in prison, but you inexplicably came to a ruined temple in Wuling County, and then you were captured by Brother Dulong. So, could it be that the three swordsmen caught you and threw it to Brother Dulong two days later? W-That's a lot of nonsense. Sheng Yu Ember frowned:

"Wasn't it the Three Blades who caught me?" Liu Lingwei was shocked:

"Who could that be?" Sheng Yu Ember pondered for a long time, and then said:

"If there is a person who is secretly observing, waiting for me to fight with the three swordsmen and lose both, and then he will ...... again" Liu Lingwei suddenly woke up:

"You mean, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins!"

"Yes, he took advantage of the weakness, defeated the three sword officials, and even killed them, and then snatched me, and two days later, threw me back to the broken temple in Wuling County."

"Who could he be?"

"I don't know."

"What was he trying to do with you?"

"I don't know."

"Then why did he arrest you so hard and release you to Brother Dulong two days later?"

"I don't know."

"You don't even know?"

"It's just speculation, of course I can't say."

"Okay," Liu Lingwei secretly remembered this in her heart

"Mystery Man", then said:

"Ah, the big nail at the joint of your dantian, the senior brother said, it is a bone-eroding soul-destroying nail...... This thing must have come from the Three Swordsmen from the Hall of Dry Bones, but I don't understand, if they died on the day you were caught, then where did the nails come from when you were tortured? Sheng Yu Ember thought for a moment, and then said:

"When I collected the bodies of the three swordmen, I picked them up with my hands; or the three swordsmen left in the gang, they were used by Chen Qiaochu Weiye; is even a unique secret weapon for the gang leader on the three swordsmen...... There are too many possibilities to tell. ”

"Okay, but it's always a doubt, let's keep it in mind, and wait for more clues before trying to analyze it, maybe then there will be a more definite inference." Liu Lingwei nodded, and then asked:

"Sheng Yuyan, you said that Jiang Xiaoshu was escorted to Beijing, and it was rumored that he escaped in the end, is this true or false?"

"It's true."

"Are you so sure?"

"He told me when he was leaving - you should go back and have some wine and ......"

"Ahh Liu Lingwei immediately woke up:

"He's coded you, so he's not going to get caught."

"Not bad."

"Then after he escaped, did he really return to Wuling County as rumored?"

"He didn't kill the two red belts of the Jiang Yue Gang with me after all, I can be sure of that. But whether he has returned to Wuling County or not, I can't say. ”

"Even if he didn't go back to Wuling County, where did he go? Until today, more than ten days have passed, and there is no news from the Jiang Yue Gang, no news from the government, and even from us...... Is it to save Wang Jinwei and Xiaolan? ”

"Wang Jinwei and Xiaolan! What's wrong with them? ”

"On the same day that you were caught by Brother Dulong, the two of them were also arrested by Zhou Zide, the prefect of Wuling, and there is no news until now."

"It turns out that they didn't escape after all...... Well, but you speculate that Jiang Xiaoshu went to save them, I don't think so. ”

"Isn't it?"

"With Jiang Xiaoshu's ability, saving people from the Wuling County Government will never take so many days and get nothing. I think he was stumbling up on something. ”

"What could it be?"

"I don't know...... Well, I'm a little thirsty. ”

"I'm going to fetch water." Liu Lingwei immediately got up, then lifted the wooden basin and took a torch to fetch water from the stream.

After slowly filling a pot, Liu Lingwei was just about to leave, but she felt that something was wrong in her heart. Well? What did you just see?

Liu Lingwei couldn't help but turn her head to look in that direction, and then couldn't help but laugh dumbly—it was a long broken branch, across the stream, with a rag hanging on it, floating on the water, but it was entangled in the branches, and it couldn't rush down for a while.

In order to help me, Senior Brother is such a straightforward person on weekdays, and his clothes are torn like this, which is really embarrassing for him.

Liu Lingwei's heart was hot, and then she made up her mind that when she learned martial arts in the future, she would definitely listen to Li Guangyu's words.

Fetching water and returning to the cave, just put the basin on the fire, Sheng Liu and the others did not continue to speak, there were footsteps outside the cave, the two looked up, but it was Li Guangyu who came back.

Liu Lingwei smiled:

"Big brother, what a ......"

"I'll start with that." Li Guangyu interrupted her, and then spoke in a deep voice, and became a blockbuster:

"There are rumors outside that someone broke into the mansion at night last night and rescued Wang Jinwei and Xiaolan." Sheng Liu and the two glanced at each other - is Jiang Xiaoshu back?
