When Mu Zheng led people into the shortest hall under the guidance of Zhao Laosi, he saw a man in black squatting in front of the shortest family's body rummaging for something.
“来人,给我拿下!”
Mu Zheng brought people to him without saying a word, but the man in black turned a blind eye to the swords and guns behind him, and did not even get up. He raised his hand slightly and a token was randomly lowered from his palm. Then the dim oil lamp, and everyone saw clearly that the words Jingping Hou were written on the token.
Mu Zheng waved his hand and asked everyone to scatter to find other rooms. He stepped forward and clasped his fists at the man according to the etiquette of Jianghu: "But Brother Chu Linxu? The Marquis and Your Highness will arrive soon."
When Chu Linxu heard these two names, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a little.
The man in black turned around and lifted up the black gauze on the hat to reveal his true face. It was indeed Chu Linxu. Wei Jin and Zheng Pingyi entered the house with Lei Qianxing's care and happened to meet Chu Linxu.
“楚兄.”
Zheng Pingyi held his fists at Chu Linxu. Although there seemed to be a gap between the Great Wei army and the people in the East Courtyard, Zheng Pingyi always wanted to bring the relationship between the two sides closer again after waking up. This time might be an opportunity.
Chu Linxu snorted coldly. He always treated Zheng Pingyi, but the etiquette he should have was not abolished. After Chu Linxu gave the courtesy, he ignored Zheng Pingyi and Wei Jin's face and immediately said, "Your subordinates can't handle this matter, let's do it."
"How do you know we can't handle it!" A captain of the Marquis's personal soldiers was already dissatisfied with Chu Linxu's attitude. When he heard Chu Linxu say this, he immediately shouted sternly.
Chu Linxu frowned, but he was too lazy to say too much about the captain, so he just stared at Wei Jin and Zheng Pingyi, waiting for their decision.
Zheng Pingyi turned around and asked everyone to retreat, leaving only Mu Zheng and Lei Qianxing: "Brother Chu, we rushed over quickly after we heard the news, but unfortunately we were still one step slower. What clues do you have?"
"Clues? No." Chu Linxu's answer was unusually straightforward, which immediately made Wei Jin frown. Chu Linxu ignored Wei Jin and continued: "This person is an old killer, and the beginning and end are quite clean. If you want to deal with such people, your army will not be able to help."
"Okay, if you need anything, you can come to me anytime." Zheng Pingyi was also straightforward. The long-term relationship also allowed him to understand Chu Linxu's personality. Chu Linxu is a sword that can only kill enemies endlessly. He has never been the one holding the sword, but he can cooperate.
"Just block the whole city, and leave the rest to us." Chu Linxu said and turned around and left, paused a little before leaving, and said in a low voice: "My fourth brother... is there any news?"
郑屏翳摇摇头:“暂时没有,不过
Since he is heading south, there is still a possibility of rescue.”
"If there is news, please inform the East Courtyard as soon as possible." Chu Linxu flew out of the main hall and disappeared in the darkness.
Wei Jin breathed a sigh of relief, with a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid the people in the East Court still have prejudice against me at this moment. I think I'd better not be present when you negotiate with them next time."
Zheng Pingyi also smiled bitterly and shook his head. People in the world don’t like to be restrained. Since they don’t want to go to the battlefield again, it’s okay for everyone to change their cooperation methods.
…………
Chu Linxu was speeding in the dark. At the same time, a trace of whiteness appeared in the distant sky, he had fallen into the east courtyard. Ling Feixian had basically recovered after more than a month of recuperation, and Duan Yifei's external injuries were healed, and his combat power was about 80%. The two were sitting cross-legged in the courtyard and meditating and exerting their skills, using the resonance between the Xuanbing Saint Maiden and the Xue Lan Saint Body to speed up the recovery of their injuries.
As Master Zhiwen said before, misfortune is the basis of good fortune. After receiving a severe injury, Duan Yifei spontaneously fell into the deep state of turtle breath, and even vaguely touched it after recovery. This is also the only happy event that everyone has to be grateful for in recent times, and it has diluted some of the boredom and depression caused by the loss of Shang Zhengyu.
Seeing Chu Linxu come back, Duan Yifei immediately stopped his work and stood up: "What happened to me last night's slut, have you found out?"
Chu Linxu nodded and informed Duan Yifei of the information he had discovered. A breeze blew by, and Ziqi also came back from outside. The two of them paired up the news they had found, and Duan Yifei immediately revealed the whole story of the matter.
"I'm afraid you've done this well. Now the army is in a hurry. It's not a time to act irritating. Let's talk about other things when you save Langfu's danger." Duan Yifei patted Chu Linxu and Ziqi's shoulders with his left and right hands, and said with a rare smile: "I think the fourth brother will not die even if he jumped down from Yaoshan, so he will survive this time."
"Yeah." Ziqi and Chu Linxu nodded and responded.
On that day, Chu Linxu, Ziqi, Wanyan Jing and Bai Fuqi braved the heavy snow to go out of the city to find Shang Zhengyu. He kept avoiding the patrol sentry along the way, and finally found the camp where Shang Zhengyu ambushed Alunga and Montaigne. Although the siege people had already arrived here first, the four of them immediately made a decision to ambush the siege soldiers, killing everyone but letting a living person go.
After carefully examining the body, Chu Linxu and Ziqi probably explained what happened.
Shang Zhengyu was severely injured, but he also succeeded in ambushing. With the horses brought by these two, the clothes and food solved Shang Zhengyu's most important survival problem. As long as Shang Zhengyu continued to walk south, as long as there was no accident, he would be able to hold on to Fengxin and be saved by then.
At that time, the wind and snow were getting heavier. The four of them could not move forward and could only sneak back to Langfu. They learned that Shang Zhengyu was still alive.
In the world, the huge rock in everyone's heart finally landed!
The kitchen door opened, and the little monk Juexin stood at the door and waved to everyone: "Hurry up, have breakfast."
After breakfast, Chu Linxu and Ziqi did not go out to look for the inner ghost immediately, but sat cross-legged on the roof of the west courtyard with breathing intent. The two of them were from the same school, and the master once passed them a method to perceive the breath of others. This was also the confidence that Chu Linxu was confident of finding the inner ghost. The two sat back to back, and the internal strength merged with each other. The range of detection under the sympathy of the qi was much larger than that of a single person. It covered the surroundings a hundred feet away, and gradually floated farther away.
Depressed farmers, wailing hungry people, hunters who kept wiping the bowstrings, and soldiers of the Great Wei patrolling the streets. One by one, vivid figures appeared in the minds of the two. Although they did not see it, the aura sent the picture back to the two. As the detection range became larger and larger, the two of them gradually reached their limits.
"Let's go, change another place." The two of them opened their eyes at the same time. Chu Linxu ran to the south first, and Ziqi followed closely behind
Under a bare willow tree in the west courtyard, Wanyan Jing looked at the two figures that were away and didn't know what she was thinking. Originally, it was okay when the victory was great, but the more nervous the war was, her identity became more and more sensitive. Now she can no longer go out, otherwise it is very likely to stimulate the nerves of some people to cause certain events, so Wanyan Jing could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Shang Zhengyu would be safe, and hope that Ziqi and Chu Linxu would return safely.
In fact, it would be better if she could go out, because from the words of Ziqi and Chu Linxu, she had already heard the identity of the person. The Unicorn Demon, and a master of disguise and secrets among the Unicorn Demon, should have been hiding on the battlefield before and sneaked into the city with the retreating Great Wei army.
His goals should have three goals: disrupt the situation in the city, inquire about the army's defense, and assassinate Wei Jin and Zheng Pingyi if possible.
"Wanyan Jing, what are you thinking?" Bai Fuqi stood behind Wanyan Jing at some point, took her hand and said, "Go and have breakfast, you're not going to eat."
At the dinner table, Wanyan Jing also told others about her suspicion, and Duan Yifei thought: "Your suspicion makes sense. I think Zheng Pingyi and Wei Jin's minds will not be able to figure out the joints here, let alone Gongsun Qi. Now you can stay in the yard with peace of mind and don't go anywhere. This is not aimed at you, I hope you can understand."
"I don't care." Wanyan Jing smiled slightly, but a hint of regret flashed in her heart. The neighborhood who could say a few words to her at the beginning didn't know what was going on now. The girl who lived opposite her occasionally came over to listen to her stories about the Northern Region, but now she hasn't seen her for many days.
