Chapter 36 Darkness
Chapter 36 Darkness
Sheng Yue who was sent back said helplessly, "Master Liu, you shouldn't take such a risk."
Liu Ran didn't speak, just bowed and saluted.Shi Yu was still there, leaning against the stone pillar, unable to see his face clearly.
"My lord, should you fulfill your promise?" Qi Jin asked impatiently.
"..." Liu Ran stared at Shi Yu's back for a long time, but she still didn't get a response, so she looked away, "All shadow guards, you can only come forward after we leave." He secretly gestured to Ban Ming.
Ban Ming looked reluctant, but still put down the weapon in his hand.Seeing this, the shadow guards behind also put down their weapons.
"There will be a period later!" Qi Jin suddenly grabbed Liu Ran by the back collar and threw him into the pools on both sides of the sacrificial altar.
"My lord!" Everyone exclaimed.
But immediately after, Qi Jin and others were seen jumping into the pool one after another until they disappeared.
Shi Yu closed his eyes and listened to the sound, propped himself up with his sword, and called out "Ban Ming."
"General," Ban Ming saw this, and hurried over to support Shi Yu, "General, please rest for a while."
Shi Yu waved his hands first, then turned his head to Sheng Yue and said, "Your Majesty, I, Da Qi, have done my best for Yue Sang's matter. The next step is to arrest King Xiu, and I will ask your Majesty for help."
"If you don't say this, I will do it myself." Sheng Yue said with concern, "Compared to this, you should heal your injury first, General."
"No problem," Shi Yu said, "Ban Ming, take the men and horses to thoroughly investigate all the water sources nearby, and we must find the trace of King Xiu." Then he added, "The people in Suizhou must not be let go."
"Yes."
"Kings!"
At this time, Chi Jiang and Gui Ping had already brought people into the palace.
"General." Gui Ping looked left and right, and asked in doubt, "Eh? Where's Master Liu?"
Everyone dared not speak.
"Your Majesty, since General Chijiang is here to pick him up, then King Yuesang should go back to Yuesang first, and the rest will be resolved in time."
"Okay, thank you very much this time! After Yuesang recovers from rest, I will definitely thank Daqi and everyone again."
Shi Yu didn't speak, just bowed his head, and the shadow guards behind him followed Shi Yu's lead.
Sheng Yue sighed, and when she turned around, she took another look at Shi Yu, and left.
"Pfft~" Shi Yu finally spat out a mouthful of black blood that he had endured for a long time. After vomiting, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and even his consciousness dispersed with the wind, and the voices of the people in his ears became farther and farther away.
"General!" Ban Ming called out anxiously, supporting the general.
Gui Ping probably already guessed the situation, "Send the general back to the barracks first, and find out what's the reason."
"It's Sandusan!" Zhang Wei stood at the gate of Yumen and shouted loudly, "That old Liu—oh, it's Master Liu's father, who told me the method before he was taken away."
It turned out that when Qi Jin dived into the water just now, Wang Zhi had already noticed the existence of the jade gate. He went around to look behind the gate and found that Zhang Wei and Li Shui were tied behind. Qi Jin probably forgot about it. Li Shui had also passed out because of Sandu San. Liu Wei gave him a medicine when he left, so he didn't faint.
"Then we..." Gui Ping frowned, looking at the people beside him, "... aren't we all poisoned?"
"Sandu Powder only works for a while, and it will only be effective if you inhale it shortly after spraying it. The Sandu Powder has already dissipated when you came in, so there is no poisoning." Zhang Wei explained.
"No matter what, get out now, and we'll talk about everything after the general wakes up." Gui Ping said, "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Liu Ran only remembered that after she was immersed in the water, she was dragged vigorously by someone who came after her, and she was dragged straight in one direction.
Moving her body slightly, Liu Ran only felt that her bones seemed to be dismantled, and her whole body had no strength.
Opening his eyes, the dim candlelight made him a little more comfortable.
"My lord, are you awake?" A familiar voice sounded.
Liu Ran turned her head to look, but what she saw was a strange face, with beards and scars all over her face, she was a little suspicious, could it be that the voice was too similar?
The man seemed to sense Liu Ran's doubts, so he approached the corner of his slightly raised face and whispered, "Master, I'm Xiaojia." He backed away immediately after speaking.
"You..." Liu Ran was astonished. No wonder there has been no news of Xiao Jia since the last time he sent Xiao Jia out to investigate.
"My lord just woke up, drink some water first. The prince ordered me to take care of you." Xiao Jia suddenly said respectfully at this moment, making Liu Ran look at the door subconsciously.
"Master Liu, you're awake, I think you'll have to wait another three to five days." Qi Jin walked into the room.
"My lord," Xiao Jia stood beside him like a servant.
"Yeah," Qi Jin replied, "Hey~ I didn't expect that you scholars are so weak."
"Where is this place? I want to see my father." Liu Ran propped herself up and leaned against the head of the bed.
"Don't worry, your father is still working on medicine, so I'm afraid I won't have time to come to you for a while. However, there is one thing I don't know," Qi Jin's face became gloomy, "Why are there so many shadow guards suddenly?" Doubled?! Also, didn’t you say that they listened to you? Why did the search be stricter?! Are you lying to me?!”
"Heh..." Liu Ran smiled, "My lord, I said that I only brought the shadow guards here, but it doesn't mean that the emperor will not send reinforcements. Besides, I just said that before we left, I don't care about things after you leave.
Take it easy, my lord.With me in your hands, they dare not act rashly. "
"Hmph, let's trust you for now, if the king finds out that you have any conspiracy, I will never let your father... and you!" Qi Jin strode out with a flick of his sleeves.
Liu Ran heaved a sigh of relief, for now, just let him stay here, and the future will be easy to talk about.
Xiao Jia stepped forward and said mysteriously, "My lord, there are spies in the capital."
"What?" Liu Ran was surprised, hadn't it been removed?
"General Xiao Lin is here..." Xiao Jia said, "But there is no news in the capital..."
"...It means that Xiao Lin in the prison was transferred, but no one found out..." Liu Ran pondered, if so, then he is a very powerful person, and he has spoken well in various places in the court .
"I have to think about it... Which move should I take next, Xiaojia, please continue to watch for me."
"My lord, about refining medicine..." Xiao Jia asked tentatively, "Do you need me to look it up?"
"Don't startle the snake now. By the way, what is this place?"
"My lord, it's in a mansion of King Xiu in Liudu. According to what King Xiu said, we may go to Wujiao in half a month." Xiao Jia said truthfully.
Wujiao?Why Wujiao?And why more than half a month?
"Understood, you go down first. Oh, by the way, pay attention to safety when spying secretly. Also, if the news can get out, pass it on to... Shadow Guard Chen," Liu Ran urged, he is not yet To be sure of Shiyu's state, I don't know what Shiyu would think if I acted so boldly.
"Okay," Xiao Jia smiled indifferently, "Young master, don't worry, Xiao Jia has her own measure."
"Hmm..." Liu Ran pretended to be casual and said, "Xiao Yi is still in Feihua Pavilion, and I heard that he has learned how to cook your favorite dishes."
Xiao Jia was silent at the moment, but Liu Ran still saw Xiao Jia's ears turned red with sharp eyes, and her mood became better.
"My lord...Jia Fugui resigns." Xiao Jia said her name calmly with red ears, and hurried out of the room.
When Shi Yu woke up, he felt that he had relaxed a lot, but his head was still a little dizzy.
"General." Seeing this, Chen An thought to himself, and hurried forward to help Shi Yu up.
"How many days have I been in a coma?" Shi Yu rubbed his temples and asked.
"Three days." Chen An said truthfully.
"Where are we? Master Liu...do you have any news?"
Chen'an was a little hesitant, he was a little worried about the general's current state.Besides, the news that came back was passed directly to him instead of the general, so he still understood the meaning behind it.
"It's okay," Shi Yu said very calmly, "I'm not that impulsive person yet."
"...Xiu Wang and others have arrived in Liudu, and they are going to Wujiao in half a month. Master Liu said that after we arrive in Liudu, we will control the coast, and when the time is right, we will cooperate internally and externally to wipe out King Xiu." Chen'an passed on to Xiaojia. The returned letter was taken out and handed to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu pushed back and said indifferently, "Since it's Master Liu's intention, let's do it. Tomorrow, we will leave for Liudu, and let Guiping and Banming take the shadow guards with the word "Di" to go to the coast first. If we split up, there will be less movement. It's not easy to notice."
"...General, we will set off tomorrow, your body..."
"No problem," Shi Yu said, "I'll just lie down for a while today and I'll be fine."
"Okay." Chen'an backed out, in the yard, Gui Ping was sitting under the tree, and Ban Ming was lying on the tree.
If there are troubles in the world, it really looks like the years have been quiet. Looking at it, I unconsciously think of that straightforward, free and unrestrained person in Feihua Pavilion.
Really, how can I think of that blunt guy...
"How?" Gui Ping put down the teacup in his hand, got up and asked.
Chen'an came back to his senses, "The general asked you and Ban Ming to take the shadow guards from the word 'di' to the coast first."
"Okay!" Ban Ming jumped down from the tree with a smile, "I don't know when to start?"
"Tomorrow," Chen'an added, "we will also set off tomorrow."
Gui Ping glanced at Ban Ming, motioning him not to interrupt, Ban Ming immediately shut up reluctantly.
"Why are you in such a hurry! The general's body..." Gui Ping frowned.
"General... what do you mean?" Chen'an asked.
"Tomorrow will be tomorrow." Gui Ping seemed to understand something, no wonder Master Liu was not surprised by his relationship with Ban Ming that day, "Master Liu is still in King Xiu's hands, the general's move is already very calm. Besides, earlier Capture King Xiu, Master Liu will be less dangerous."
"That's it, no matter... Be careful on the road." Chen'an instructed.
"Ah."
Inside the room, Shi Yu picked up the sword placed by the bedside by the dust, and slowly pulled it out.The slender sword reflected the light outside the window, reflecting Shi Yu's indifferent eyes with a hint of worry.
Shi Yu picked up the clean cloth on the table and wiped the blade carefully, but suddenly he was not used to it. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that his sword spike had fallen off at some point.
The sword tassel was made by his mother herself.
Shi Yu simply put down the sword in his hand, lost his mind for a while, then suddenly remembered about Liu Ran, then went to the bed behind him, covered his eyes with one arm, and closed the corners of his mouth tightly.
I left without saying a word to him...
After a day's rest, Liu Ran was already more than half healed, so Xiao Jia took him around the mansion, and some people he met looked at him several times, which made Liu Ran a little terrified, and wouldn't show the king directly. Do you want to do it to him? !
"Master..." Xiao Jia whispered in a low voice, "That's our man..."
Liu Ran looked at Xiao Jia with relief, originally thought that Xiao Jia was alone, and couldn't help but worry about whether the matter would go smoothly.Now it seems that capturing King Xiu and rescuing his father is half the effort.
"...Is there any clue about my father?" Liu Ran asked.
"Young master... every time that Xiao Lin personally guards Master Liu, even when going to the toilet... It may be difficult to rescue Master Liu."
"That's good..." Liu Ran smiled and said, "It means that their medicine has not been developed yet, so I have a chance."
"...What chance?" Xiao Jia was at a loss.
"Although I don't know what the medicine is for, I understand that once the medicine is successfully developed, it will be difficult to destroy it." Liu Ran said, "At that time, I will take over my father's job, you Just leave me alone and protect my father."
"My lord... But, what do you do?!" Xiao Jia was a little worried.
"Don't worry." Liu Ran smiled confidently, "Your son and I are so smart, will I still be in danger?"
"..."
"After the replacement, when the time comes, the general will be caught off guard, and he must not be allowed to escape." Liu Ran said, "Don't worry."
"...Okay..." Xiao Jia was actually very puzzled, the young master seemed to be a little overconfident.
"I heard that my lord is looking for this king?" Qi Jin's tone was a little irritated.
"The prince's medicine, I'm afraid it hasn't been prepared yet?" Liu Ran said unhurriedly.
"Hmph..." Qi Jin got angry when he said this, and then sarcastically said, "Isn't it because of your good father, who is simply a quack doctor who can't make medicine, and even the soldiers under the king have to be cured for a few days to cure him?" Healed well!"
The corner of Liu Ran's mouth raised slightly, "My lord, how about I come to make medicine?"
"You?" Qi Jin sneered, "I still don't know what you're thinking!"
Liu Ran put down the teacup, "I know that you, my lord, have already complained about my father. If things go on like this, you will eventually anger the lord and cause death."
"How does this king know if you are sincere?" Qi Jin stood up and looked down at Liu Ran.
"Then I will make an agreement with the prince, ten days." Liu Ran raised his eyes slightly, as if he was the leader.
"Ten days?" Qi Jin was suspicious, "Are you sure?"
"Well, it's ten days," Liu Ran added, "As a condition, my father doesn't have to stay in the pharmacy, and if you touch my father, I will make your medicine fall short."
"What if you can't develop it in ten days?"
"No if." Liu Ranyun said lightly.
"...Okay!" Qi Jin agreed immediately, "I am waiting for your results in ten days!"
"My lord, please wait and see." Liu Ran raised her head slightly with a smile.
Qi Jin leaned closer and pinched Liu Ran's chin, and said with an evil smile, "It doesn't matter if you can't develop it, my king is very happy to see your face..." The other hand patted Liu Ran's face, "If you develop it Follow me if you don’t come out!”
Liu Ran was not annoyed, she grabbed Qi Jin's wrist and moved away, "I'm not doing something for the prince?"
"Heh..." Qi Jin got up, straightened his robe, looked up at Liu Ran inadvertently, and said ambiguously, "What's the matter...you understand..." After speaking, he strode out of Liu Ran's room .
Is he really a woman? !
Liu Ran was a little irritable in her heart, and stretched out her hand to drink tea, but saw her own face reflected in the tea, she was so angry that she immediately put the teacup upside down on the table, and remembered that day when Shi Yu had her back to him. .
I don't know if the general will be even more angry if he knows what happened today.
The author has something to say:
Whoa!
What if Xiaoran was molested?
Call the general urgently!
