Volume 1: The Abyss Chapter 9: Formal Acquaintance

09 Formal acquaintance

As soon as Ah Yu entered the door, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was wrong.

She was not surprised to see that the injured person who was still in a coma woke up when she went out, and saw that the two of them were looking in one direction together, while Yun Zhi was lying on the table in a daze, looking lost and depressed.

"Oh, what's going on?" Ah Yu put the food box he was carrying on the table, and at the same time leaned in front of Yun Zhi's eyes and asked with concern: "What's the matter, they bullied you?" ”

didn't wait for Yun Zhi to answer, so he scolded the two of them again: "It's really ungrateful, how hard did this girl take to save you back, do you know how to be grateful, looking at people who look like dogs, how can you take revenge!" ”

The two looked innocent, and Yun Zhi hurriedly explained: "No, they didn't bully me, I just felt a little homesick." ”

Ah Yu sighed, "This ...... Sorry ha...... I thought ......" she said with an awkward smile and began to change the subject, "That...... Where do you live? ”

In a very distant place, Yun Zhi thought in his heart, but replied: "Luozhou." ”

"Then you came to Jiahe Town, are you visiting relatives?" Ah Yu asked again.

Yun Zhi was just about to follow the line, but he was afraid that Ah Yu would ask her whose relatives he was, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'm just passing by, I'm going south." ”

The two countries are like fire and water, and she can't easily reveal her destination.

This Ah Yu girl seemed to be very gossipy, and when she heard her say that she was going south, she hurriedly asked, "Are you also going to Ming'an to participate in the sword appreciation conference?" ”

Where is Ming'an? What is the Sword Appreciation Tournament?

Despite the doubts in his mind, Yun Zhi nodded and accepted.

Ah Yu looked surprised, "In a place like Luozhou, there are still people who are interested in the sword appreciation conference!" Then he looked at the other two, "Are you also together?" ”

Pei Shun's eyes quickly glanced at Xiao Yi, then quickly turned back and nodded, "Yes." ”

Yun Zhi frowned slightly, not knowing why he responded, but she also knew that although the beautiful girl in front of her had excellent medical skills, her origin and identity were unknown, so she naturally couldn't reveal too much to her.

But Ah Yu didn't seem to treat himself as an outsider, and after hearing Pei Shun's answer, he immediately laughed, "Great, then let's go together, I also happen to go to Ming'an!" ”

Yun Zhi and the three of them had different expressions when they heard this, but Ah Yu stepped forward as if he didn't see it, and stepped forward to hold Yun Zhi's arm intimately, "By the way, my name is Ah Yu, and I am a doctor, I don't know what you call it?" ”

"I'm ......" Yun Zhi said for a moment, glanced at Xiao Yi, and continued: "Yun Zhi." ”

"It's Miss Yun!" Ah Yu looked at her with a smile and repeated: "Miss Yun." ”

Yun Zhi hurriedly said: "Just call me Zhizhi." ”

"Know." Ah Yu smiled very delicately, and turned to the two people next to the bed, "What about you?" ”

Pei Shun thought for a while, and lightly reported his name, followed by Xiao Yi.

In this way, the four of them are officially acquainted.

It's just that they know each other's names, but Ah Yu seems to have understood everyone's past, and even her tone has become very familiar, she opened the food box and beckoned people to come over to eat, and handed the bowl with the black decoction hidden in the bottom layer to Yun Zhi, and glanced towards the bed, "His medicine." ”

After chatting these few words, Yun Zhi also came to her senses, she came to this world by accident, if it was really Senior Brother Pei who also came, she should worry about whether Master and Master would be able to bear it. Fortunately, this Pei Shun in front of him is not Senior Brother Pei, Yun Zhi was secretly happy, and naturally took the medicine bowl handed by Ah Yu, and walked to the side of the bed to feed Xiao Yi the medicine.

Xiao Yi was disgusted with the bitter medicine, and refused to open his mouth after taking a sip, Yun Zhi had to use sugar as bait to coax him to take the medicine, and saw that Ah Yu and Pei Shun shook their heads.

Not only this time, but in the next few days, every time he took the medicine, Yun Zhi had to take out a few pieces of candy before Xiao Yi was willing to take the medicine.

In the past few days, in addition to the daily decoction, Ah Yu has also been applying needles to Xiao Yi to suppress the poisonous hair, but after a few days, the toxin still crawled along the wound to the upper arm and neck, Xiao Yi's face is getting worse and worse day by day, Yun Zhi every time he sees him in cold sweat, he stuffs a piece of candy into him, and after a few days, there are no more pieces of sugar left in her pocket.

Fortunately, Yuluo rushed back in time with the Baijie Pill.

Yuluo was covered in wind and frost, and she didn't know how long she had been on the road, and after handing the Baijie Pill to Ah Yu, she didn't even have the strength to stand, so Yun Zhi hurriedly sent her to another room to rest.

After Xiao Yi ate the Baijie pill, he coughed up a large pool of black blood clots after a while, Ah Yu said that this was the poison in him, and said that he also dipped a small piece with a handkerchief, saying that he would go back to study the poison and see if he could make an antidote or something, in case of future troubles.

After coughing up poisonous blood, Xiao Yi slept a lot, and when he woke up the next day, he was no longer wilted, and he had eaten more.

When Yun Zhi came to see him, this person was walking back and forth in the room, and when he saw Yun Zhi, he immediately stopped, sat down on the chair, covered his shoulders and began to cry out in pain.

Yun Zhi exposed him mercilessly, "Okay, don't pretend, I saw you stumbling." ”

Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly and said stiffly: "It still hurts a little." ”

Yun Zhi ignored it, his eyes turned around the room, and asked, "Master Pei...... What about Pei Shun? ”

"I went out early in the morning." Xiao Yi raised his hand and touched his chin, and his tone was light, "You have something to do with him?" ”

"It's okay." Yun Zhi smiled and said, "I'm here to find you." ”

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and curled the corners of his mouth, "I guess you want to ask why I sent Yuluo to the palace to pick you up?" Or do you want to ask why I didn't return to Los Angeles after I was injured? ”

How does he know everything! Yun Zhi looked at him suspiciously, this person shouldn't have mind reading skills or something, right?

Her expression had already answered for her, and Xiao Yi began to explain: "After receiving the marriage will, you jumped into the lake three times, which shows that you don't want to marry King Ning at all, but on the day of the wedding, you were overjoyed and looked very excited, and then I met you in the Imperial Library, so I guess, you are willing to marry King Ning in order to enter the palace so that you can go to the Imperial Library, right?" ”

"And you didn't go to the Imperial Library for that kind of book." Xiao Yi said, coughed lightly, his eyes flickered a few times, and continued: "Actually, your real purpose is the book of heaven that the empress of Yanguo fifty years ago - you can understand the content of the book of heaven, right?" ”

Yun Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, and asked instead of answering: "What does this have to do with you sending someone to take me out of the palace?" ”

Xiao Yi was shocked: "You are not the first person who can understand the content of the Book of Heaven, according to the record of "Dayuan Historical Records", about forty years ago, there was also a person who understood this Book of Heaven, and the first thing that person did when he read the Book of Heaven was to go to Yanguo, so I guess, you are the same." ”

"And what happened to this man?" Yun Zhi was eager to know everything related to this.

But Xiao Yi didn't say much, only said "I don't know", and continued to answer those two questions: "And the reason why I help you is because the Anguo Mansion is kind to me, and Brother Shenjun is my old friend, so I have no reason to watch you do anything that will affect them because you are out of the palace; The second is because—"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi paused and said word by word: "You are Princess Ning." ”

Yun Zhi couldn't help but start to doubt: "You also have a relationship with King Ning?" ”

Xiao Yi touched his nose, "Sort of." ”

Yun Zhi said strangely: "If you have a relationship, you still help other people's wives escape marriage?" It can't be a feud, right? ”

Xiao Yi coughed, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly, and silently changed the topic, "As for why I don't go back to Luozhou, it's because after this distress, I suddenly felt that it meant to be an imperial scrivener, and I wanted to go back to Qingyi Villa to have a look." ”

This Yun Zhi can understand that after encountering life and death events, people are extremely homesick, and she is also homesick and wants to go home.

Thinking of going home, Yun Zhi hurriedly asked again: "There is another question, that is, last time in the Imperial Library, I asked you who the current empress of Yanguo is......"

Xiao Yi sighed, "It's still the one who wrote the Book of Heaven fifty years ago, Sikong Jing." ”

"And how old is she?" Yun Zhi was secretly nervous in his heart.

Xiao Yi reminisced and thought for a while before replying: "It's probably close to the age of antiquity, and I don't know how much." ”

Is it almost seventy? Will the empress be her sister? If so, why is the timeline so different after coming to this world, could it be that my sister came to this world half a year after she disappeared? Half a year in reality is equivalent to fifty years in this world?

Yun Zhi frowned, thinking about these questions quickly, Xiao Yi sat on the side and looked at her quietly, although there were many doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask.

The two sat in silence for a while, and Ah Yu suddenly pushed the door and came in.

As soon as Ah Yu came in, she got between the two and shared with them the gossip she had just heard from the street.

"Tonight, this Jiahe town is going to hold an ancestor worship ceremony, I heard them say that the scene is grand, and there is money to take! Let's go and see it in the evening! ”

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, "Isn't it usually daytime to worship ancestors?" Why is this Jiahe Town still at night? ”

"You haven't been out for a few days, so you don't know." Ah Yu first sighed, and then lowered his voice and said, "There have been murders in this town for five consecutive days!" ”

Yun Zhi also came back to his senses, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong: "Five days? Wasn't that the day we arrived in Jiahe Town? ”

"That's right!" Ah Yu nodded, "I heard that these five people died, not only did each of them die in a terrible state, but also painted a strange symbol on their foreheads, and the people of the Yamen have not found out the results after checking these days, so everyone is rumored to be a ghost killing people, and the mayor of the town proposed to worship the ancestors and ask for the blessing of the ancestors." ”

When Yun Zhi heard this, he immediately sneered, "There are no evil ghosts in the world, I'm afraid that some people are just pretending to be ghosts." ”

"I think so too!" Ah Yu agreed, and said: "But I heard that they said that this matter has alarmed the Criminal Prosecutor's Department, and tomorrow the Chief Envoy of the Criminal Prosecutor's Department Lu will personally bring people to investigate, and then maybe the murderer will be found out!" ”

"Chief Envoy of the Criminal Prosecutor's Division?" Lu Shenjun is coming? The smile on Yun Zhi's face gradually stiffened, "Is your news accurate?" ”

"It's like a fake!" Ah Yu Jiaojiao smiled and lowered her voice a little: "This is what I heard from the people of the Yamen to the mayor!" ”

Yun Zhi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi, the two made eye contact for a moment, Xiao Yi stood up, and asked casually, "Miss Ayu, is the time for that sword appreciation conference almost up?" ”

Ah Yu replied: "There are still 20 days left in the September 16th Sword Appreciation Conference." ”

Xiao Yi sighed and proposed: "Then let's set off today, it will be half a month away from Ming'an, and it will not be good if there is any delay along the way." ”

"Huh?" Ah Yu was just about to open his mouth to question the healing of his wounds, when he saw that Yun Zhi also got up and agreed, "It makes sense, I'll go back and pack my things!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran, leaving Ah Yu with no chance to have any questions.

In the afternoon, a group of four people drove out of Jiahe Town in a carriage.

However, they didn't go far before they were stopped.

Yun Zhi quietly lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw a team of officials dressed in official robes and holding swords, the leader of the body riding a white horse majestic, his eyes were like a cold light, staring at their carriage tightly, there was no trace of temperature in his voice.

"The Criminal Prosecutor's Department investigates the case, and everyone immediately stops their horses and gets out of the car!"
