......

Su Ji felt like he was stuck in a swamp, surrounded by mud, constantly squeezing his body and then devouring him little by little.

His breathing waned, and a pair of large hands grabbed him by the throat, threatening to kill him.

Su Ji struggled, he wanted to break free from this swamp.

The next moment, Su Ji opened his eyes suddenly, and the powerlessness in his body disappeared, replaced by endless pain.

Su Ji reluctantly turned his head to look at everything unfamiliar around him, with doubts in his eyes.

Today, he is lying on the bed, his wounds bandaged. As for last night, Su Ji remembered that after he was stabbed in the body last night, he passed out.

He thought he was in a desperate situation and had no power to return to heaven.

Now, Su Ji couldn't imagine that he was still alive.

Apparently alive, the wounds on his body come from the itching sensation that only when they heal.

Who saved me? ...... Su Ji couldn't think of anyone else in Sioux City who would save him.

Su Ji wanted to get out of bed, but as soon as he exerted his strength, a feeling of extreme weakness and pain came from all his limbs.

Su Ji snorted coldly, lay back on the bed, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"Your injuries are severe. The life is saved, but it will take at least ten days and half a month to cultivate. ”

One person walked into the room and looked at Su Ji. Su Ji's gaze also fell on the person who came.

Su Ji cautiously asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Yu Zhi." The man spoke.

Last night, Yu Zhi just arrived at Su Ji's residence and happened to see the last killer who wanted to cut off Su Ji's head.

Yu Zhi naturally killed the other party and saved Su Ji.

"Yu Zhi. You're the Inspector? Su Ji asked.

Yu Zhi sat on the chair and said, "Isn't it like that?" ”

As he spoke, Yu Zhi took out the waist card monk Fang Sword of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

Su Ji heard everything in front of the city gate, and looked at Yu Zhi with more respect.

Those who think about the people deserve respect.

Without waiting for Su Ji to speak, Yu Zhi continued: "Last night, I wanted to find out about the situation of the Su Cheng Army's previous suppression of bandits. I didn't expect to see you assassinated. Obviously, you must know something. That's why someone wants to kill you. ”

"Do you know who is trying to kill you?"

Su Ji looked resentful, looked straight up, and didn't know how to speak.

Yu Zhi laughed, as if he had seen through Su Ji's thoughts, and said, "It's a good thing to be cautious." But if you are too careful and hide everything in your heart, I am afraid that many people will die. ”

Su Ji thought to himself: If it weren't for Yu Zhixiang's rescue, I would have become a corpse last night. What do I know to hide?

Su Ji simply said: "After I was dismissed, there have been people secretly watching. Unexpectedly, yesterday he wanted to kill me. And the person who wants to kill me is none other than You Yuanju, the commander of the Su Cheng Army. ”

Yu Zhi was not surprised, and asked lightly, "Why did he kill you?" ”

Su Ji looked at Yu Zhi, the secret he was going to say might make the boy unable to get out of Suzhou City. Su Ji didn't want to harm the young man in front of him.

"Lord Yu, are you sure to deal with You Yuanju?"

"I guessed right, it's You Yuanju."

"Your Excellency has already guessed?"

"It's not hard to guess."

"Lord Yu, if I tell me about this, I'm afraid You Yuanju won't let Lord Yu leave Suzhou City. That's why I asked, is Lord Yu sure to deal with him? ”

"Yes, so what? No, so what? ”

"If not, Lord Yu doesn't need to know the secrets, lest he die in Sioux City."

Su Ji's words are very straightforward. Life and death are just one word in his mouth.

Yu Zhi smiled and said in his heart: You just don't know that my real enemy is much more powerful than You Yuanju.

Yu Zhi said: "That's what you say. You Yuanju is not my opponent yet. ”

Su Ji didn't know why the young man was so arrogant, and reminded: "Lord Yu, You Yuanju is at least a powerhouse of the seventh grade of the stele. And there are his people in the whole of Sioux City, both openly and secretly. Even if Lord Yu holds his own identity as a superintendent of the imperial history, he must be careful that open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. ”

You believe me, I'm strong..... Yu Zhi suddenly laughed, he really wanted to publicize those things in the north well.

"I'm not a loyal person, if it's too big for me to handle, and I've never seen you before."

Su Ji sighed and said slowly: "When the bandits in Sucheng appeared, almost all the six counties under the jurisdiction of Sucheng were sacked by the mountain bandits. I once led my troops to the mountains to suppress bandits. He entered the mountain five times before and after, but there was no trace of the mountain bandits. The only time I led a few soldiers under my command got lost in the mountains and accidentally discovered the lair of the mountain bandits. No, it should be said that it was a city. ”

A city.

Yu Zhiyan was shocked when he heard this.

"Castle in the Mountains." Yu Zhi said.

Su Ji looked at Yu Zhi and said, "Yes, Mountain City, this word is very appropriate. There was a large city deep in the mountains, and the walls were very high and solid, and there were patrols on the walls. At first glance, he is not an ordinary mountain bandit. ”

"At that time, there were only a few brothers and I didn't dare to rush to alarm the bandits. After quietly retreating, I walked around the mountains for a few more days, and finally got out of the mountains. After leaving the mountain, I immediately reported the matter to You Yuanju. The soldiers of the Sioux City Army soon entered the mountains and forests again, looking for the city in the mountains. Strangely, we searched for a month, but we couldn't find the city again. ”

Yu Zhi already had some conjectures in his heart.

Su Ji continued: "You Yuanju said that we were hungry and faint in the mountains, and we were wrong. But I am sure that there is such a city in the mountains, and it must be the lair of the mountain bandits. ”

"Since that time, the mountain bandits have often appeared on the official roads of Sioux City County to plunder. The families of some officers and soldiers in the army also suffered and were extremely resentful of the mountain bandits. But You Yuanju did not move for a long time, and only ordered us to keep patrolling. ”

"One night, I was squatting in a village. It happened that they were robbed by mountain bandits, and after a battle, there were casualties on both sides. This is a common thing. But after the mountain bandits evacuated, I secretly followed with a few people, trying to find the city in the mountains. ”

"Unexpectedly, I saw that the person who connected with the mountain bandits turned out to be Chao Dabiao."

Yu Zhi finally had a hint of surprise, "Chao Dabiao, are you talking about the deputy general of the Su Cheng Army?" ”

"Yes." Su Ji said, "Although Chao Dabiao is You Yuanju's henchman, he will definitely not dare to collude with the mountain bandits, and there must be You Yuanju's instructions behind this." I didn't dare to say anything, so I had to investigate secretly. ”

But what happened next was getting stranger and stranger. The bandits began to plunder the young children. In the past, they would attack the caravans, and the caravans had more goods and money than the poor people, but they changed their goals. In the past month, young children outside the city have been abducted by mountain bandits. ”

Yu Zhi couldn't help but nod his head and agreed: "I have already discovered this matter on the way to Sioux City, and I have heard from those people who are suffering about it. But I don't understand, these bandits don't want money, so what are they doing kidnapping these children? ”

Suddenly, a hint of gloom flashed in Su Ji's eyes, and he said coldly: "Lord Yu, have you ever heard of a rumor. ”

Yu Zhi looked at Su Ji suspiciously, only to hear Su Ji say: "Killing young children, eating people's hearts, can cure all diseases." Take the blood of the heart, fry the ginseng, and live for a hundred years. ”

Yu Zhi's eyes were cold, and two cold rays of light shot out. "Who came up with such a vicious rumor?"

Su Ji shook his head and said, "There's no way to check." This rumor has been rumored in Sioux City for a long, long time, to say the least, for more than ten years. ”

Yu Zhi asked again: "Do you also think that the mountain bandits are doing such a sinister thing by robbing children?" ”

"I don't dare to say yes. But it's never going to be a good thing. Su Ji said, "The mountain bandits are vicious, and they will never end well if they fall into their hands!" ”

"How many children have been taken captive?"

"A rough estimate is that there are more than 200 people, and there are many who have not been reported. I am afraid that many young children have already suffered a tragic fate. ”

"Damn it."

"Alas, if You Yuanjuzhen colludes with the mountain bandits, I'm afraid that the entire Sucheng County will suffer a great disaster."

"If You Yuanju really colludes with the mountain bandits, I will kill him first."

Su Ji looked at Yu Zhi again, and the young man in front of him gave people an inexplicable confidence.

A teenager is a teenager after all, and Su Ji didn't dare to count on Yu Zhi more.

It is really not appropriate to look down on a person because of his age, how many young people in Nanzhou Mansion are Tianjiao. But in the face of You Yuanju, who controlled the 20,000 Su Cheng army, Su Ji still looked down on Yu Zhi.

......

......

In Fan's house, in a room full of fog, a man was half-lying on a sickbed, and the woman next to the bed was carefully feeding him medicine.

The man is Fan Liren, the eldest son of the Fan family in Sucheng, and the woman is Fan Liren's wife, Su Muci.

After picking up Tuan Tuan from Yu Zhi, Su Muci returned to Fan's Mansion.

After all, she is a married woman, and she is going to live in Fan's mansion.

Fan Liren was bedridden all the year round, his face was pale, his body was even thinner, and his eyes were slightly upturned, like dead fish. If you see it for the first time, you will feel scared. There is a mist in his room all the year round, and I don't know where to get the recipe, and some herbal fumigation can nourish the body.

Various herbs are mixed together, giving off a very strange smell.

Therefore, very few people from Fan Liren's side came. Except for some subordinates, only Su Muci accompanied Fan Liren.

Ahem, ahem.

Fan Liren coughed violently.

Su Muci skillfully put down the medicine bowl and gently patted Fan Liren's back.

After a few coughs, there was a lot of red blood on the plain white handkerchief.

Fan Liren looked at the medicinal soup in the medicine bowl with a strange expression. He raised his hand and motioned for Su Muci to stop.

Su Muci took the handkerchief, handed it to his subordinates, and said, "My husband stays in the house all day without seeing the sun, and his spirit is worse than before. Why don't you take a walk in the yard with your concubine? ”

Fan Liren shook his head and said weakly: "The doctor said that this herb steam will be steamed for three hours every day, and today is still one hour away. ”

Su Muci didn't know where Fan Liren found the doctor and the prescription, but Fan Liren didn't let her care about these things.

After marrying Fan Liren, Su Muci also found some doctors for him, but after Fan Liren's scolding, Su Muci never took care of this matter again.

Fan Liren's body is just for him to toss by himself.

Fan Liren said: "Today, I heard from someone that you brought back a little girl? Is it a newly bought maid? ”

Although Fan Liren's voice is weak, it is very good, like a spring breeze and rain, gentle and elegant.

Su Muci smiled, and while busy with the things in hand, she said: "The little girl I picked up on the road, but she was only five or six years old, and she was the only one left at home. I saw her alone, and I brought her back. ”

"You're kind-hearted. Just place it properly. Fan Liren coughed a few more times. After you came back, the second brother didn't embarrass you, right? ”

"I haven't seen my second brother yet."

"Well, the second brother has been arrogant since he was a child, you let him do more."

"Naturally, I want it."

The husband and wife talked calmly.

In fact, this is the case between the two of them.

Talking about the same topic as before, the same few words back and forth, there is no extra novelty.
