Yangyue

Chapter 18

When Xiao Yangyue, Qi Zhu and others went back to the villa to search, the guards of the duckweed pavilion who had been unconscious due to poison gas on the grass outside the villa slowly woke up one after another.

One of the guards is very young, not yet crowned, and has a handsome appearance.He had inhaled too much poisonous gas before, and he only woke up with the help of his colleagues' inner strength. Until now, he still felt dizzy.

The young guard rubbed the center of his eyebrows, resisting the dull pain in his head, and asked his colleagues, "Where is the master of the pavilion..."

"My lord, my personal guards, and Lord Hou have returned to the village to search." The colleague on the side replied, "My lord ordered us to bring these captured villagers down the mountain. Are you still able to move?"

The guard nodded, and when he stood up from the ground, his mind was buzzing.When the poisonous mist filled the air before, he didn't remain in a coma from beginning to end. He managed to wake up once in the middle, but he only maintained his sanity for a few seconds, and soon fell asleep again.

Only then did he slowly recall what happened in just a few seconds. At that time, the fog was thick and his vision was blurred. In addition, he was dizzy, his body was in pain like burning meridians, and his mind was not fully awake.

But he vaguely remembered that he seemed to hear something.

The young guard recalled it carefully for a while, but he couldn't remember exactly what the voice was, only a vague impression remained in his mind.

It seemed to be a slight and crisp "swish" sound, and the sound sounded like a paper object, as if something like calligraphy and painting had been unfolded.

Seeing his frowning, the colleagues on the side worriedly said: "Bai Yu? Can you still hold on?"

The young guard named Bai Yu nodded. Thinking about it carefully, it might just be an illusion he had when he was in the thick fog, and it might not be possible to find out the reason.Right now, it is better to finish what the Lord Pavilion Master ordered as soon as possible.

In the villa at this time, after Henry Zhang, Qi Zhu and others searched, they found a large number of dizzy poisons and warming potions.

Xiao Yangyue asked people to bring the evidence found in the villa that needed to be presented to the emperor, and prepared to leave the villa.

Qi Zhu still had three doubts in his mind.One is who is the woman pretending to be Liu Ying, the other is where does the poison in the mist that kills people come from, and the third is how Hongyue will insert Ding Feiyun into the guard, and whether there are other There is no solution to the fact that martial arts forces are obstructing it.

Searching along the way, all Qi Zhu saw were the corpses of sect disciples in the villa, and most of the corpses were killed with a sword.

Qi Zhu sighed: "My lord, why did you kill them all? Leave four or five alive, so we can interrogate them."

"These people are not killed by me, they will also get out of bed." Henry Zhang said lightly, "It would be better to die in my hands, it would be happier."

Qi Zhu asked again: "My lord, how about the martial arts of the head of the Hongyue Society?"

"Above the middle level." Henry Zhangyue said, "It's about the same as the Suzerain of Yuanyang Sect."

Although Qi Zhu was no longer in the martial arts world, when he met this person who was said to be a martial arts master, he couldn't help but ask curiously.Hearing what Henry Zhang said, Qi Zhu had a general consideration in his heart.

Xiao Yangyue: "Master Hou seems to be quite interested in martial arts."

"Although I don't practice martial arts, I'm very curious." Qi Zhu said with a smile, "It's hard work for you to wield swords all day long. It's better to be an idle master."

After the matter of the villa was settled, the group went down the mountain.

Liang Yu and several duckweed pavilion guards stood guard at the foot of the mountain. The former was anxious and wanted to go up the mountain several times, but he was also worried about a surprise attack from the foot of the mountain, so he could only suppress his worries and wait eagerly.

At the hour of the hour, Liang Yu suddenly noticed that the mist on Sanfeng Mountain was faintly dissipating.Within two quarters of an hour, the fog on the top of the mountain completely disappeared, revealing the whole picture of Sanfeng Mountain.

An hour later, more than a dozen duckweed pavilion guards came down from the mountain with the rescued prisoners, all of whom were dying and almost dying.

Liang Yu was overjoyed, and completely let go of his heart. It's just that it's hard to find a doctor in the wilderness. Fortunately, the two adults have simple medicine in their luggage, so they can relieve the urgent need.

Liang Yu hurriedly found the medicine box, but suddenly saw a woman with a familiar face among the captives, and that person was Liu Ying.His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly hugged Liu Ying off the guard's back, calling out, "Liu Niang! Liu Niang!"

The guard said: "Don't worry, it's just that she fainted because she was too weak, and there is no danger of her life. It's just that she can't see anymore. These prisoners were poisoned and blinded by the gangsters of the Hongyue Society."

Liang Yu was startled. Seeing Liu Ying's pale and bloodless face, he couldn't imagine how much inhuman torture these captives had suffered. For a moment, he seemed to be filled with overwhelming anger and resentment. Cramp and bone fracture.

Liang Yu recalled all the things that happened back then, and felt pain in his heart. His parents, his wife and children, himself, and even the kind neighbors who took good care of him on weekdays were all brutally murdered by those gangsters. But I can only hate, hate myself for not being good at martial arts, hate myself for being powerless.

Liang Yu felt that death was like home for a while. He regretted that he had obeyed Lord Yang's words and stayed here. He should go up the mountain, into the stronghold of the Hongyue Society, and fight to the death with those gangsters. Even if he only died once, that would be better than only Can hate for nothing.

Liang Yu gently placed Liu Ying on the ground paved with hay, and then anxiously asked the guards: "How is the situation on the mountain? Where are Lord Yang and Lord Qi?!"

"Adults are fine."

However, Liang Yu couldn't believe what the guards said. He was only worried that Lord Yang, Lord Qi and others were not Hongyuehui's opponents. Even though he drew his sword, he leaped into the mountain lightly regardless of the wounds left by the previous fight.

The guards on the side turned their heads and saw Liang Yu running up the mountain. Monk Zhang Er was puzzled for a while, but there was no danger on the mountain, so he could go as he wanted.

At this moment, Xiao Yangyue and Qi Zhu were rushing down the mountain with the rest of the guards. Suddenly, they heard a burst of eager footsteps from far and near. Put away the sword.

Liang Yu shouted: "Lord Yang! Lord Qi!"

Qi Zhu asked in surprise, "Brother Liang? Why did you come up the mountain?"

Seeing that Qi Zhu was not injured, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment he looked up and saw Xiao Yangyue, he stood there dumbfounded as if his whole body was electrocuted.

The human skin mask Henry Zhang originally wore to disguise his appearance has long been damaged, revealing his true face.His true face was like a fairy in a painting, with blood splattered on his clothes and temples, which made him look like a beauty in the ordinary world.

This is the face that Liang Yu will never forget for the rest of his life. No matter how many years have passed, he will always see in his mind, in his countless sad and angry dreams, the person who broke into Yuanyangzong Villa like a god and Buddha.

"You are..." Liang Yu stared at Xiao Yangyue dumbly, and was stunned again, "You are the master of the Duckweed Pavilion... Xiao Yangyue?"

Henry Zhang looked at him, his eyes were still faint: "This operation is a secret order of the emperor, and it must not be disclosed to the outside world."

Liang Yu was stunned for a while, and then quickly replied: "Yes! Xiaomin obeys orders!"

"The head of the Hongyue Society has been killed by me. You have contributed to the clues. I will report the matter, and there will be rewards in the future." Henry Zhangyue said, "Go back."

Henry Zhang walked forward, but suddenly heard Liang Yu kneeling heavily on the ground.

Liang Yu knelt at Henry Zhangyue's feet tremblingly, a six and a half feet tall and burly man, wept so hard in an instant, he choked up and said: "Master Xiao, when you killed the Suzerain of Yuanyang Sect, I and those tortured captives I was able to escape... For the past few years, I have wanted to take revenge day and night, and I wanted to see you again, so that I could kowtow to you! Now, it is you who saved these people again. In return, this humble life was given to you, if you want it in the future, Liang Yu will definitely die!"

Liang Yu kowtowed heavily on the ground, until his forehead was scratched with bloodstains by the gravel. The hatred of the past few years was completely eliminated at this moment. He cried bitterly, thinking of his parents, wife and children who were no longer alive, and suddenly felt that he was dying here now. Here, too, is worth it.

Xiao Yangyue: "It doesn't have to be like this, I act according to the imperial decree, if you want to thank the emperor, please thank the emperor."

After Henry Zhang left, Qi Zhu sighed softly, Henry Zhang was really cold and cold, he was indeed just killing people according to the emperor's order, not to save people.His every word and deed are wrapped in that cold and mighty shell called "Emperor's Grace".

The rescued person naturally has a deep kindness, but the rescuer has nothing to do with it.

Qi Zhu said to Liang Yu, who was still kowtowing towards Henry Zhangyue's back: "Brother Liang, please get up, the master of the pavilion is like this. Now that the big revenge has been avenged, the inn proprietress has returned, and the injured prisoners still need someone to take care of them. Brother Liang’s help is needed in many places.”

Liang Yu stood up from the ground, wiped the blood that was knocked out all over his face, his eyes had changed, and became determined and firm: "Master Qi is right, Xiaomin will definitely continue this good deed, so as not to be afraid of it." Live up to Lord Xiao’s life-saving grace back then.”

Qi Zhu nodded and smiled.

Liang Yu bowed to Qi Zhu again before going down the mountain with him.

A treetop moved quietly above their heads, and Qi Zhu looked up, only to see a small brown-gray sparrow jumping briskly on the branch for a while, and then spread its wings and flew into the depths of the mountain forest.

The sparrow crossed the villa and stopped at a spring on the mountain. A finger stretched out from behind the rock beside the spring. The sparrow landed on the man's finger and shook its feathers.

The masked man stared into the distance, then looked at the tower in the villa, and finally turned around and disappeared behind the rock.

After the group returned to the foot of the mountain, they rested for more than an hour before preparing to embark on the return journey.Liang Yu sent everyone all the way to Xu Town, and brought a few captives who had woken up and were able to walk, and knelt down on the side of the road.

The chariot and horse returned the same way, Henry Zhang sent two guards to ride on the fast horse, and returned to the imperial city with the secret letter.Now that the matter that the emperor entrusted has been completed, there is no need for the group of people to hurry on their way.

After leaving Xu Town, Qi Zhu tore off the mask on his face, wiped his uncomfortable skin with warm water, leaned on the small pillow in the sedan chair, and let out a long breath.

The sedan chair was stuffy, Qi Zhu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, unfolded the fan and shook it gently.A duckweed pavilion guard rode beside the sedan chair on horseback. This person was the young guard named Bai Yu.

Bai Yuben was walking intently, when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of fan bones unfolding. With a "shua", it was as if a thunderbolt exploded beside him.

The poisonous mist on Sanfeng Mountain seemed to float in front of him again, Bai Yu felt a splitting headache for a moment, and his eyes were full of panic.He turned his head abruptly, staring blankly at the fan in Qi Zhu's hand.

At that time, the sound he heard when he was dizzy was very similar to the sound of Master Hou unfolding his fan.

Qi Zhu noticed the astonished expression of the young guard in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong? But something happened?"

Bai Yu got used to seeing Qi Zhu's disguised appearance all the way, but suddenly raised his head to see Hou Ye's original appearance, he still didn't react for a while.

The master of the pavilion is very beautiful, and Master Hou is also very beautiful, but Master Hou's handsomeness has a kind of glamorous charm that the cold master of the pavilion does not have, which is directly touching people's hearts.

Bai Yu lowered his head: "It's nothing...it's because the lower officials are distracted."

Lord Hou's vest wavered slightly
