Chapter 33: Conspiracy

He Xiong kept pacing back and forth, and muttered, "I knew that I wouldn't take this job, but now it's okay, and the two of you are seriously injured." In case there is something bad, how can I explain it to Wudang. One by one, they are self-righteous, and they don't say hello before doing things. Yu Ying stared, looked at He Xiong back and forth, and said coldly: "You are dangling around, your head is dizzy, don't you say that there is nothing?"

When He Xiong received Xi Zhen, Xi Zhen was almost in a state of prostration. The fight with Mei Yin and the seven brothers of Liujiazhai was not lightly injured, and then they were forcibly rushed back to Ningbo. So as soon as he entered the official post, he fell. Although Han Santong's martial arts are world-famous, when he was learning art in Wudang, his martial arts achievements have always been inferior to Mei Yin, and Mei Yin's talent is sometimes inferior to Yin Liting. Therefore, in the battle of Shicai, Han Santong also used his last strength.

As soon as Xi Zhen came back, he was in a state of recuperating behind closed doors, so until now, everyone didn't know who Yu Ying was. Only Guan Qing, looking at Yu Ying's eyes was extremely complicated. It seems to be jealousy, and it seems to be tolerant. Yu Ying also seemed to feel this kind of look, so she didn't dare to look at Guan Qing directly.

When He Xiong heard Yu Ying say this, he was also choked, and he didn't know what to say when he heard a light cough coming from the corridor. Xi Zhen clutched his chest and walked over weakly. Seeing this, Yu Ying immediately rushed over and helped Xi Zhen to his seat.

As soon as Xi Zhen sat down, Yu Ying asked like a series of cannons: "Little lewd Dao....... Bah, Brother Xi, are you feeling better? Why is your face still so bad?"

At this time, Xi Zhen, after a day of cultivation and pranayama, although he can walk, his injury has not healed, and his internal strength has not recovered, so his face is already very poor. Xi Zhen glanced at Yu Ying weakly, and said with a reluctant smile: "I'm fine." Seeing Guan Qing walking towards him with a bowl, he immediately said: "Now that you are in Ningbo, whose girl are you, I can send someone to send you back." ”

Guan Qing came over with a bowl of hot porridge and asked Xi Zhen to drink it softly. Yu Ying looked at Guan Qing and then at Xi Zhen, and said very aggrieved with tears: "My father doesn't want me, I ran out secretly, and I have no home." ”

Everyone was stunned, He Xiong couldn't help but pull Xi Zhen aside and whispered: "I said you stinky boy, Dao Cixi went to look for flowers and asked Liu? But to be honest, you kid is quite discerning, this girl is really good, but she is too naughty. ”

Xi Zhen's face was full of helplessness, and he said weakly: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know who this girl is." He Xiong choked angrily: "I picked it up on the road." ”

He Xiong asked again: "Who hurt you?" Listening to that girl babbling for a long time, the seven brothers of Liujiazhai should not have the ability to hurt you. Say, who hurt you, and what kind of kung fu did you use?"

Xi Zhen said with a painful face: "The seven brothers of the Liu family are real men, but they are just that person...... The man...... I didn't know the man, and I didn't know who it was. ”

As he spoke, Han Santong also came out. Xi Zhen was very surprised when he saw Han Santong come out: "Senior brother, why are you here, what's wrong with you?Are you injured?Where are the injuries?Is it serious?Is it serious??Can someone on the rivers and lakes seriously injure you?" Han Santong just smiled and looked at Xi Zhen dotingly: "I'm fine, how is your injury?"

He Xiong suddenly stopped, and muttered: "You two brothers are really a perfect match, they are both injured like this, and they don't care, but it hurts me." ”

Han Santong patted Xi Zhen on the shoulder and continued: "Don't dwell too much on the past, sometimes what you see is not the truth and essence of the matter. Learn to be understanding and tolerant. ”

Xi Zhen naturally knew what Han Santong was talking about, and Xi Zhen also knew who the masked man was that day. When the senior brother said this, although he didn't fully understand, he seemed to feel that there was something inside at this time, so he didn't continue. Han Santong patted He Xiong's shoulder again and said, "Old He, thank you for taking care of my junior brother all the way." ”

While the three of them were talking, Huang Gui hurriedly ran in, and as he ran, he kept saying that it was not good. Huang Gui said to everyone: "It's not good, yesterday in Cixi, another large number of people from the rivers and lakes were killed. Now it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that when those people were killed, Xi Zhen of the Wudang faction was in Cixi. ”

Everyone exclaimed when they heard this, Guan Qing and Yu Ying were also so frightened that they fell to the ground with the bowl in their hands. Xi Zhen suddenly felt that the world was spinning. He has not been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he does not know what the so-called sinister rivers and lakes are. Now that such a big thing has happened, I don't know what to do. However, He Xiong and Han Santong were unusually calm.

Han Santong hurriedly asked, "Don't panic, first tell me where you got the news from?

Huang Gui said: "I was patrolling outside the official post just now, and a person claiming to be named Liuzhuang came to spread the word. He said that dozens of people, including Dugu Hong, the leader of the Haisha Gang, Wan Fusheng, Fujian Wuxing Boxing, and Liu Kan of the Zhendong Dart Bureau, were killed yesterday. And now everyone is rumoring that when these people were killed, Wudang Xizhen was in Cixi, and these people all died under the Wudang sword. So ......"

Xi Zhen said to Huang Gui quietly: "Quick, help me to see Ling Zun, I have something important to discuss." ”

The four of them walked into the inner hall, and Zhu Yunwen was asking Huang Zicheng for advice on how to be a king. Seeing the four of them coming, Zhu Yunwen was very happy, thinking that his brothers and sisters were fine. Just as he was about to congratulate him, Huang Gui told him about the right talent. Zhu Yunwen frowned, Huang Zicheng is a scholar, he is not familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he is at a loss.

Xi Zhen said: "Your Highness, Lord Huang, this must be a conspiracy. Now that we have soldiers to protect us, presumably everyone on the rivers and lakes also knows that we have an official background. However, the soldiers can defend against the open guns but cannot dodge the hidden arrows of the Jianghu people, and my senior brother and I are now seriously injured and cannot meet the enemy. For today's plan, the only way is to withdraw first. Wait for the next day to find out the inside story of this matter, and then make the conspiracy public. ”

Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng listened to it and felt that this was the best choice at present. So Zhu Yunwen said: "Big brother, for today's plan, you see what to do, how we withdraw, listen to you." ”

Xi Zhen said categorically: "It's still the old method of Xuancheng, and the golden cicada is out of its shell." Only this time we did not return to Beijing by land, but by water. Please send soldiers to Ningbo Mansion as soon as possible, ask them to prepare a ship secretly, and then strictly order him to increase the number of soldiers to guard the official post for three days. We will set off by water to return to Beijing tonight. ”

Everyone felt that this plan was feasible, and Zhu Yunwen immediately sent someone to the government to spread the word. He Xiong patted Xi Zhen's chest happily and said, "You kid is good, although your martial arts are a little worse, but your brain is enough." Xi Zhen also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and his heart continued to fall into deep thought: What kind of conspiracy is this? Who is the mastermind? What kind of goal is to be achieved? All this, there are too many question marks, I am afraid that they will have to be sorted out one by one in the future. At present, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng, because it is difficult to ensure that someone in this conspiracy wants Zhu Yunwen's article.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhen chuckled again in his heart: Shicai Huang Gui said that those people died under the Wudang swordsmanship, could it be his hand? Impossible, but who else but him? Who else could do it? But why did he do this? What is his suffering? Xi Zhen remembered what Mei Yin said before leaving for Ningbo: If you and I meet each other in the future, we must not tolerate our subordinates. What is all this for?

Thinking of this, Xi Zhen had a splitting headache. He held his head in pain and kept slapping. Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to do, and when they were confused, Xi Zhen screamed, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat, and he fainted and fell unconscious.

The fright of everyone was not small, Rao is He Xiong reacted very quickly, and hurriedly helped him up and injected true qi for him. After a while, Xi Zhen woke up quietly, looked at the senior brother beside him, and said extremely sadly: "Senior brother, why is this happening? Why?"

Everyone was happy that he woke up, but they were confused by his series of questions. However, Han Santong seemed to be able to perceive everything, hugged Xi Zhen and comforted softly: "It's okay, you are a kind person, you want to indulge in the rivers and lakes, and be a carefree person and ignore the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes. Now that you have to face all this, it is really difficult for you. Believe me, it will all pass, and the truth will be revealed. ”

Xi Zhen collapsed weakly in the arms of his senior brother, like a child, tears rippling.
