Tai Hao's eyes flashed with determination, and he bowed deeply to Jiuqiu and said, "Master, I understand your worries and concerns. But please allow me to go to Meng Yingshan, I must go and save a woman. She is very important to me and I can't watch her put her in danger. ”

Jiuqiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed and said, "Taihao, do you know why Meng Yingshan wanted to arrest those women?" ”

Tai Hao shook his head, with a look of confusion on his face: "The apprentice really doesn't know. ”

A deep light flashed in Jiuqiu's eyes, and he said slowly, "They are choosing the next head of Meng Yingshan. These women are all gifted and deeply rooted. Meng Yingshan wants to select the most suitable person for the head in this way. Even if you go there, you're afraid you won't be able to do anything. Don't think that you may be able to outperform them in martial arts, in the face of those women, you may be able to go up the mountain, but you may not be able to go down. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, I understand what you mean. But trust me, I'll be careful. I'm going to do my best to protect myself, and I'm going to try to save that woman. ”

Jiuqiu looked at Taihao's determined eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that this apprentice had a stubborn and persistent personality, and it was difficult to change things once they had decided. He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Taihao, are you really going?" Even so, wait until the limelight is over. If you go now, I'm afraid you will die on the road before you reach Meng Yingshan. ”

Tai Hao's eyes flashed with determination, and he bowed deeply to Jiuqiu and said, "Master, please rest assured. I will be careful to avoid those dangers. ”

Jiuqiu looked at Taihao's determined eyes, and couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. He knew that this apprentice had already made a decision and would not change it no matter what. He sighed and said, "Since you are so insistent, then go for it." But be careful not to put yourself in danger. ”

At this moment, Taihao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. The feeling was the same as when he left Deng Chuan City, unbearable. He couldn't help but cover his stomach, and his face showed a look of pain. Koji Yi on the side also looked in pain, and he almost fainted.

Seeing this, Rong Xuan hurriedly took out the medicine bottle from his arms and poured the medicine powder into the mouths of Tai Hao and Koji Yi in turn. Taihao and Koji's bodies returned to normal again, as if the pain just now was just an illusion.

Tai Hao frowned and asked, "Hasn't the poison in our body been lifted yet?" Why do I still have seizures? ”

Jiuqiu looked at Taihao and Kojiyi, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice low and firm: "The poison in your body comes from the distant northern country, and only the hometown of Poison Slaughter Mo can develop this kind of vicious poison. In order to get rid of this poison completely from you, you need to take certain medicines for three months without interruption. ”

Hearing this, Tai Hao frowned, and asked eagerly, "Master, what kind of medicine do we need to take?" ”

Jiuqiu was silent for a moment, as if searching for the most appropriate words. He slowly spit out a few words: "This medicine is called 'Qingfeng Detoxification Pill'. ”

Taihao and Koji Yi glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a little dazed. The name of the medicine sounded elegant, but they had never heard of it.

Jiuqiu continued, "This 'Clear Wind Antidote Pill' was carefully developed by a mysterious divine doctor over the course of many years. Its shape is round and smooth, the color is green like jade, and it exudes a faint fragrance. The detoxification effect of this pill is extraordinary, no matter what kind of poison, as long as you take it for three months, the toxin can be completely removed. ”

Tai Hao's heart moved, and he asked, "Then where is this 'Qingfeng Antidote Pill' now?" ”

Jiuqiu smiled slightly, and took out a delicate small porcelain vase from his arms. He gently unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and a fresh medicinal fragrance suddenly spread. He poured out two emerald pills and handed them to Tai Hao and Ji Yi respectively: "Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to get this magic medicine, which is enough to remove the poison from the two of you. You can stay here in peace, take it once a day for three months, and then you will leave unharmed. ”

Taihao looked down at the pill in his hand, and his heart was mixed. Three months, he was going to spend three months in this garden. This is undoubtedly a kind of torment for him. However, he also understood that this was the only way for Master to detoxify him.

He looked up at Jiuqiu, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "Master, do you really want to stay in this garden for three months?" ”

Jiuqiu looked at him, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "What? Taihao, do you think three months is too long? You must know that it will take a long time for this poison to be completely removed from your body. And, it's also for your safety. Now that there is a treacherous turmoil on the rivers and lakes, if you go out rashly, I am afraid that you will encounter more trouble. ”

Taihao knew that the master was all for his own good, and he couldn't refute it. He could only nod silently and take the pill into his arms. He bowed deeply to Jiuqiu: "Thank you Master for saving your life!" ”

Koji Yi also followed closely behind, respectfully saluting and thanking him.

Jiuqiu looked at them with a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He knew that the two apprentices were grateful people who would live up to their expectations. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, rest and recuperate, the three months will pass soon." ”

In this quiet garden, Taihao is like an invisible crane, quietly living here. Every day at the beginning of the morning, Jiuqiu would appear in front of him on time, holding a turquoise "Breeze Antidote Pill" in his hand. Tai Hao and Koji Yi respectfully took the pill, and after taking it, a cool feeling would spread throughout the limbs, like a spring breeze, dissipating the toxins in the body little by little.

Subsequently, Taihao devoted himself to the hard work of practicing martial arts, and instructed Koji Yi to practice swords, with sword light like a dragon and momentum like a rainbow. Kojiyi's swordsmanship became more and more exquisite, and every swing of the sword seemed to be fighting against his fate.

During this time, there was always a man in white in the garden, holding a jade flute, and the sound of the flute was melodious, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. His flute sound is like a heavenly sound, sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and tactful, which makes people intoxicated. Every time Taihao hears the sound of the flute, an inexplicable emotion swells up in his heart, as if the sound of the flute is telling an ancient and mysterious story.

On this day, Taihao finally mustered up the courage and walked towards the man in white. He bowed deeply and asked, "Dare to ask if Gongzi is the son of Uncle Zhenzheng?" ”

The man in white stopped the flute, his eyes were like torches, and he replied lightly: "I don't like other sounds around me when I play the flute. ”

When Taihao heard this, he hurriedly closed his mouth, like a frightened bird. He stood silently aside, waiting for the man in white to blow the flute again. After about a stick of incense, the sound of the flute gradually stopped, and the man in white turned around, his eyes revealing a hint of sharpness.

"I've seen you," said the man in white, "have you come here to take refuge?" ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "I don't know where Gongzi has seen me?" ”

The man in white smiled slightly and said, "Now half of the knights on the rivers and lakes have seen your face, and they all want your life." ”

Taihao's heart sank, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, but he didn't show any panic. He nodded slowly and said, "I didn't expect that I would cause so much trouble just by killing a criminal." ”

A hint of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the man in white, and he said, "You won't stay here for long, because it's my senior brother who wants to kill you." ”

Tai Hao frowned, and he asked, "You mean Shaoling?" ”

The corners of the white-clothed man's mouth moved slightly, and he smiled and said, "You are really smart." ”

Taihao took a deep breath, he knew that his identity had been revealed, but he didn't back down. He continued to ask, "When did Shaoling worship Uncle Zhenzheng as his teacher? ”

The man in white looked at Tai Hao, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Why do you call my grandfather uncle?" ”

Taihao smiled slightly and said, "Formally introduce, in Xia Taihao, the master is the beginning of the Yuan, and Zhen is the fourth uncle below." ”

When the man in white heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said: "I thought you were Jiuqiu's apprentice, but it turned out to be my apprentice of the first master. My name is Zhenqi, I didn't expect us to have such a relationship. ”

"Jiuqiu is also the master below." Tai Hao added with a smile. "Zhenqi is a nice name."

Zhenqi smiled slightly and responded, "Thank you for the compliment." His voice was like an early morning breeze, soft and pleasant.

Tai Hao's heart moved, and he asked, "You haven't told me when Shaoling worshiped Uncle Zhenzheng as a teacher?" ”

A trace of memory flashed in Zhenqi's eyes, and he slowly spoke: "That time is a long time, and Emperor Xuanyu was still reigning at that time." There was a bit of nostalgia and emotion in his tone.

When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I didn't expect Shaoling to hide so deeply. ”

Zhenqi looked at Taihao's expression, smiled lightly, and said: "They are all the apprentices and grandsons of the cat ancestor, they are born from the same root, why are they in a hurry!" ”

When Tai Hao heard this, his brows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I really don't know why Shaoling wants to kill me?" ”

A hint of depth flashed in Zhenqi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "On this river and lake, there is only one reason for who you want to kill, and that is for the sake of interests, and everything is for the sake of interests." ”

Tai Hao was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "You're right, it's all for the sake of profit, but when did I offend Shaoling's interests?" His heart was full of doubts and incomprehension.

Zhenqi looked at Taihao's expression, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Taihao, do you know that there is something important going to happen in the imperial court in the past few days?" There was a bit of mystery and speculation in his words.

When Tai Hao heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "What big thing is going to happen?" His curiosity was completely piqued.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Zhenqi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The country is about to change hands." ”

"What?" Tai Hao's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Zhen Qi in disbelief, "The current emperor is still young, and I haven't left the palace for long, and the emperor can't even walk, will there be any accidents." His heart was filled with shock and unease.

Zhenqi looked at Taihao's expression, sighed softly, and said, "Some things will not go in the direction you want." ”
