The shadow's voice was low, as if he had deliberately changed his voice, and his whole person was shrouded in shadow, not missing a beat.
"The officials transporting the supplies have been stopped outside Mingzhou, and the medicinal materials have been handed over to the Song family. I heard that the Seventh Prince has sent people to discuss business with the Song family."
"The Seventh Prince has already set his sights on you."
Li Du's face turned pale: "How is it possible? I did it very secretly. How did he find out?"
"The plague has subsided so easily. If the Seventh Prince's teacher is allowed to return to the court, you will definitely be punished and there will be no chance of recovery."
"What do you mean, sir? Let the Seventh Prince stay in Mingzhou?"
Li Du's mind suddenly moved and he wiped his neck. Could it be that he was being asked to assassinate Bai Yuxian?
The entire Mingzhou is his territory. If he really wants to kill someone, it is not difficult. Before, he was afraid of the Seventh Prince's identity, but he didn't expect that this noble man was not afraid of the Seventh Prince at all.
"Master said there is no need for you to exist anymore."
Before he finished speaking, and before Li Du could react, a white light flashed across his face. The black figure held a dagger in his hand and approached Li Du in the blink of an eye. The dagger in his hand slashed straight towards Li Du.
Li Du's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Soon after, another figure stood in front of Li Du, and an inexplicable force fell on Li Du, knocking him away and knocking over the tables and chairs beside him, but he escaped with a narrow escape.
The person who was originally in Li Du's place was an extremely handsome man, dressed in black clothes, with a cold light flashing between his brows. He raised his hand, put his five fingers together into a palm, and struck the wrist of the black figure in front of him.
This is a bold move. The black shadow can stab Bai Yuxian, but Bai Yuxian may not die, but the black shadow will definitely die.
So Black Shadow immediately retracted his move, turned around, and retreated a distance.
"Your Majesty's method of turning your back on others is really astonishing to me."
Bai Yuxian looked at the dark figure opposite, only showing a pair of cold eyes, as if there was no emotion.
This was a dead soldier. The black shadow did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Li Du who was smashed to pieces and threw the dagger in his hand at him.
Bai Yuxian picked up the bronze ornament on the side and threw it away. The ornament and the dagger met in the air, causing sparks. The next moment, the force of the ornament fell in the other direction at the same time.
"Should you die on your own or let me send you to death?"
Bai Yuxian's figure flashed and stood in front of Li Du, with a cruel smile on his lips as he looked at the dead soldier opposite.
As a dead soldier, failure in a mission meant death, so Bai Yuxian had no hope of getting anything useful from him.
But Li Du is different. He is greedy for life, afraid of death, has desires, and is in a high position. If Li Du dies in the hands of this person, I am afraid the clues will be disconnected.
The black shadow knew that he was no match for Bai Yuxian, but he still pulled out a soft sword from his waist and pointed the sword at Bai Yuxian.
"It's quite courageous."
There is a sword in Li Du's room. It seems to be old, so naturally it is a sword that he can put in the room.
Bai Yuxian didn't think anything of it, and made a decisive decision to pull out the long sword. The figures of the two of them were strange and unpredictable, and they could change in countless ways even in this small room.
Bai Yuxian tightly defended the space around Li Du, preventing the black shadow from getting any chance to get close.
Suddenly, Li Du woke up and saw the flash of swords and swords in front of him. He trembled with fear. He remembered that the black shadow wanted to kill him just now. At this moment, he had no time to think about why Bai Yuxian wanted to save him. His only thought was to escape from this place quickly.
So Li Du quickly picked up the scabbard that fell aside to protect his body, hugged the scabbard and secretly left towards the door.
The two people who were always paying attention to Li Du naturally discovered this. The black shadow's eyes flashed, and he instantly escaped from Bai Yuxian's attack range, holding the soft sword and heading towards Li Du to kill him.
Idiot! Bai Yuxian was agitated. If the timing was not wrong, he would have cursed. No matter how fast he was physically and mentally, he would not be able to safely save Li Du in this situation.
However, he was completely calm and made a decisive decision, pouring his inner strength into the sword and throwing the sword out. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the black shadow and stabbed straight into Li Du's shoulder. The strong force took the person away and the whole person was nailed to the door.
superior.
In this way, it deviated from the original direction, allowing the black shadow to jump into the air, and also allowed Bai Yuxian to catch up with the black shadow.
The inner strength was concentrated in the palm of her hand, and Bai Yuxian gradually lost her patience. It would be a long night and a dream, and a palm directly hit the black figure on the back.
"puff--"
The black shadow spurted out a mouthful of blood, groaned, the brilliance in his eyes disappeared, his breathing weakened, and he fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Bai Yuxian landed safely, but Li Du's shoulder was pierced. Severe pain spread throughout his limbs and bones. He was nailed to the door unable to move, and he fainted in a moment.
Bai Yuxian pulled out the long sword. The blade was so sharp that it could be broken by blowing the hair. The cut that penetrated the wooden door was as smooth as a mirror. Blood dripped from the blade without staining it at all.
It's a good sword, but it's a pity that it's so cheap.
Bai Yuxian put away the sword without any burden, and called his subordinates to take the two corpses back to Fengxian County, including some letters found in Li Du's room that were too late to be destroyed.
Ye Fuxun rested for a day, and the Song Mansion was very efficient. When the medicinal materials were about to run out on the second day, they sent manpower and medicinal materials together.
The imperial doctors immediately felt like a savior and were in high spirits. Many patients' family members voluntarily joined the ranks of taking care of the patients. They could not help diagnose, treat and prepare medicines, but it was not difficult to prepare medicines and feed them. The burden on the imperial doctors was reduced again.
Quite a few.
Everything was going in the right direction. Only Lu Ming, who followed Ye Fuxun to Changzhou to discuss business with the Song family, was worried that the princess owed such a huge debt. How should she tell the emperor?
He hesitated to speak several times, but Ye Fuxun didn't look worried at all, just doing his own thing, and occasionally chatting and laughing with mild patients, and he seemed to be at peace.
Just when Lu Ming was extremely confused, Bai Yuxian came back.
They also brought back two corpses, one to be precise, and the other was Li Du, the prefect of Mingzhou whose life and death were unknown.
Ye Fuxun returned to the county government office and saw Bai Yuxian sending an imperial doctor to treat Li Du.
After learning what happened from Bai Yuxian's mouth, she felt that she shouldn't save such a dog official.
Bai Yuxian casually said to the imperial doctor: "Just keep him alive. Don't waste the best medicinal materials."
"Have you found any evidence?" Ye Fuxun asked.
Bai Yuxian took out the box, which contained evidence of Li Du's corruption.
"This is Li Du's corrupt letter. He mentioned a noble person in it who would promote them to leave this poor and harsh place, but he didn't say it clearly."
The poor mountains and harsh waters of this place are probably inseparable from these dog officials. They don't want to change, but are deliberately trying to leave this place.
Ye Fuxun roughly flipped through a few letters, his frown deepening.
