At this time, the "Sixth Village Master" actually looked calm.
"What? Isn't it?"
The leader of the fifth village frowned.
It is an indisputable fact that a disciple of Mount Paektu fell from the sky, unless the sixth brother slaps himself in the face and changes his story and says that he is not a disciple of Mount Paektu.
"Fifth brother, Cunning Rabbit still has three caves. You don't think I only have one plan, do you?"
The leader of the Six Villages said calmly:
"It's true that the disciple of Mount Paektu fell, but there were mistakes and wrong moves. As long as she is okay, Mount Paektu's wrath can be avoided. As for this operation,... we don't necessarily have to catch her."
The leader of the Sixth Village said with a sneer on his face, and turned his head to look in another direction. Amidst the clatter of horse hooves, a fully armored soldier from the Han Dynasty suddenly appeared in their sight.
Seeing this soldier from the imperial court, the leader of the Five Villages was astonished.
The "Sixth Village Master" had a smile on his face. His eyes fell on a four-inch long hollow steel needle held in the palm of the soldier. On the top of the hollow steel needle, a drop of bright red blood shimmered slightly...
…
"You can go now."
The leader of the Six Villages flicked his sleeves and stepped forward to greet him.
…
In the northwest corner of Pingchuan City, Bai Shengming was lying on the ground, with crowds surrounding him in circles. Two middle-aged men in white robes with stern faces were extremely conspicuous.
"how's it going?"
Lu Ling said hurriedly.
"The lady has taken the healing medicine and is now sleeping."
The two guards of Mount Paektu recognized Lu Ling as the daughter of the lord of Pingchuan City.
"But did you injure your internal organs?"
Yang Jidao.
There were not many injuries on Bai Shengming's body. Except for a small blood stain on his left chest, the rest was not obvious. Yang Ji was a little worried that he might have fallen from the air and injured his internal organs.
"Who are you?"
The two Baektu Mountain guards looked wary.
Now, except for the soldiers of the imperial court, they are wary of anyone dressed as a candidate. After all, the young lady was injured in the martial arts hall, and there are all candidates there.
"Don't worry! His name is Yang Ji. He was the one who shot the arrow that hit the eagle and saved your lady."
Lu Ling explained quickly.
The two looked at each other, slightly relieved.
"That's it, thank you very much."
The two of them said, looking much more polite.
They all saw the three arrows Yang Ji shot at the giant eagle before. They didn't expect the young man in front of them.
"The lady's internal organs did receive some shock, but it was not serious. We also checked her, and except that her blood was a little thinner, there was nothing else abnormal. I just don't know why, but she hasn't woken up yet."
The two frowned.
"Could it be that the green forest expert restrained some of her acupuncture points?"
Lu Ling said.
"It's not like that."
The two shook their heads and denied together: "The young lady's breathing is normal and does not seem to be under control."
Yang Ji frowned and was silent in thought.
"I know why he's unconscious!—"
Suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Lu Youxiang!"
Yang Ji turned his head in surprise. He saw Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang, Shen Tong and others rushing over from behind. Several of them were covered in scars and their clothes were stained with blood. They had obviously experienced another fierce battle.
"Previously, I saw a soldier from the imperial court waving to her. It was when Bai Shengming reached his side that he suddenly collapsed."
Lu Youxiang said hello to Yang Ji without showing off, and said directly.
"What!"
The two Baektu Mountain guards were shocked. Before they could say anything, a group of soldiers nearby became angry immediately.
"What are you talking about?"
"How could someone from the imperial court harm her?"
"If we really want to harm her, how can we save her?"
"Do you know what you're talking about?!"
…………
Everyone looked at Lu Youxiang and glared angrily. The soldiers of the imperial court were responsible for patrolling the city and maintaining public order. Lu Youxiang actually said that it was them who caused the accident, and everyone was so angry that they wanted to beat him.
"It is impossible for people from the imperial court to attack Bai Shengming."
Wang Xian put his hands behind his back and suddenly said.
"Prince!"
Only then did the soldiers notice Wang Xian next to them. Wang Xian came from a military family, and he and the soldiers were naturally separated from each other, so he was quite prestigious in the army.
"Young Master Wang is right. It is impossible for our people to attack her."
A soldier said.
"However, what Lu Youxiang said is not wrong."
Wang Xian glanced at Lu Youxiang next to him and said:
"So there is only one possibility. The person who injured Bai Shengming was not a real imperial soldier."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Yang Ji and Lu Ling frowned and remained silent. The meaning behind Wang Xian's words was that someone had worn the imperial armor and infiltrated into the army.
If this is true, this is no small matter.
"The Wu Palace is the examination room for this martial arts examination. No one else is allowed to enter except for the candidates. If what Lu Youxiang saw is correct, this can also explain why there are so many people in a place that only candidates can enter.
There are so many gangsters.”
Yang Ji pondered for a while and then said.
He had always felt strange as to why there were so many killers mixed into the Martial Palace. And some of them were obviously older than the candidates for the "Tongsheng Examination". But the scene was in chaos at that time, and he had no time to think about it.
After listening to Lu Youxiang's words, many problems were immediately solved by analogy.
"This matter is no small matter. If it is true, I'm afraid there will be an investigation in the army."
Wang Xian was silent for a moment and then said.
Only he could say this kind of thing here. The other soldiers had already looked ugly. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
"It's the Captain!"
Everyone turned around and saw a torrent of steel as black as ink, rolling in on the flying dust. The leading "knight" was of extraordinary majesty, his eyes were like daggers and lightning, and he was riding a tall horse, leading everyone to gallop in.
.
"Join the Captain!"
Everyone saluted one after another.
"No need."
The captain turned over and dismounted. His eyes fell on Bai Shengming and he said solemnly: "How is it?"
"My lord, it's nothing serious. I'm just unconscious."
A soldier replied respectfully.
"That's good."
The Captain breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and touched Bai Shengming's wrist vein. After confirming it, a big stone in his heart finally fell.
"Miss, it's not very safe here. Please take two people with you and send her to the City Lord's Mansion to rest first."
Du Wei said.
"Um."
Lu Ling nodded. Even the army was mixed in. At this time, only the City Lord's Mansion was the safest:
"Don't worry, sir, leave this matter to me."
"You two, this is my token. Take my token. Send your lady directly to the city lord's mansion."
Lu Ling took out a bronze token and said.
There is no need to bother others with this kind of thing. Bai Shengming's two Paektu Mountain guards are the best candidates to escort him.
"Ms. Lu, thank you very much."
The two guards thanked him. They didn't trust anyone else to do this. They took Lu Ling's token, picked up Bai Shengming and flew away.
"Others, don't stay here, everyone rush to put out the fire."
Du Wei said.
"Yes, sir!"
The surrounding soldiers and the cavalry behind the captain quickly took the order and left. Before they set off, the captain ordered another low-ranking captain:
"Wu Dian is the source of riots. You must lead the way and surround Wu Dian. You must not let anyone leave."
"Yes, sir!"
The captain responded loudly.
"...In addition, summon the doctors and doctors in the city to go to the Martial Hall to treat all the injured candidates."
The captain paused and said.
Everyone quickly left in a dusty manner. In a short period of time, everything around them was empty. They left just as quickly as they came.
Yang Ji took a look and was about to leave.
"Yang Ji, wait a minute."
The captain suddenly shouted.
"grown ups?"
Yang Ji was slightly startled and turned his head in surprise.
"I have heard about the competition. Bai Shengming was injured, and she is a woman, so she is no longer qualified to participate in the martial arts examination. If there are no accidents in this martial arts examination, you should be the well-deserved first place."
Du Wei said.
Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat. This time things happened in a hurry. What Yang Ji was most worried about was that the martial arts examinations were completely canceled due to this bloody incident.
Although it is rare to cancel a scientific expedition in an emergency, it is not without precedent in the past.
Now that he heard the captain's words, Yang Ji finally took some reassurance.
"... Pingchuan City is currently in a troubled time. The verification of the martial arts examination will probably be suspended for a while, but once verified, it will be distributed as soon as possible. In addition, the court will be under martial law for a period of time to track down all the green forest bandits who have sneaked into the city. During this period
You can’t return home within the time limit. I hope you can cooperate.”
Du Wei said.
"Students understand."
Yang Jigong said.
"Well. You have good qualifications. Work hard! - Go ahead."
The captain patted Yang Ji on the shoulder and said, given his character and status, it was very rare for a candidate to make such an intimate gesture of encouragement.
If he wasn't really optimistic about Yang Ji, he wouldn't have said such a special thing at all.
"Student farewell."
Yang Ji bowed and left.
Before leaving, Yang Ji looked back and saw Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang, and Shen Tong standing beside the captain with solemn expressions. Wang Xian's lips opened and closed, as if he was talking to the captain.
What.
The captain's face became increasingly ugly, and the atmosphere became very heavy.
Yang Ji knew in his heart that Wang Xian was probably telling the captain what he had discovered before. There were spies among the army... and only Wang Xian's identity could reveal such a thing.
Although the bloodshed in the Martial Palace has passed, Yang Ji feels that the real storm may be far away.
"His!"
Yang Ji took a deep breath, turned around and strode away.
The city of Pingchuan was noisy, with merchants, vendors, and citizens walking around the streets. Although the smoke was still billowing, the fire was obviously under control.
Not long after Yang Ji walked out, a yellowish figure suddenly stood on the street with his back to him, standing tall and handsome.
"Lu Ling?"
Yang Ji was taken aback and whispered: "You didn't go back home?"
The goose-yellow figure turned around, and a smiling face immediately came into view. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Ling?
"It's just the City Lord's Mansion. It's not like you can't see it. Where do I need to go and take it personally? I pointed in the direction and they went there by themselves."
Lu Ling's gait was light and she walked slowly and gracefully.
Yang Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and vaguely understood something: "You are not waiting for me on a special trip, are you?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Ling put her hands behind her back and said with a smile.
