He was not sure whether the so-called assassin Liu Gongwen said was here to assassinate him. When he first returned to the post house, Liu Gongwen said that someone was following him, so he came out of the backyard with two guards, but in the middle of the An hour later, he returned to the museum and said that he had discovered an assassin from the Zhou Dynasty.
Half-belief and half-doubt, he heard that the assassin had been wounded and fled to Liu Jiye's house. He had a plan in his heart and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this border guard who was feared by the Liao people. He then heard the implication of Liu Chengjun's words and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince thinks this is the case." Can the four-foot-tall Taiyuan city wall stop the generals of the Zhe family?"
The Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty loved and hated the Zhejia Army. The Zhejia Army that was originally stationed in Fuzhou served the Northern Han Dynasty. Later, the Northern Han Emperor borrowed troops to attack the Later Zhou Dynasty and professed his vassalage to the Liao Dynasty, which caused the resentment of the Zhejia Army. Thus he broke away from the Northern Han Dynasty and submitted to the Later Zhou Dynasty.
The Zhejia Army guarded Fuzhou and blocked the Liao Kingdom's route from the Yellow River north to the Central Plains. Although the Northern Han Dynasty served the Liao Dynasty, they did not want the Liao people to take over the Central Plains, so they wanted to turn a blind eye to the existence of the Zhejia Army. With a closed eye, unexpectedly, when the Northern Han Dynasty was attacking the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Zhejia Army invaded the Northern Han Dynasty from the west, which distracted the Northern Han Dynasty and had to take action against the Zhejia Army.
But when Yelv Zongwu mentioned the Zhe family general, Liu Chengjun was shocked. He was very good at strategizing, and Yelv Zongwu's intention to kill someone with a sword could not be concealed from him. He thought in his heart that if the assassin was a member of the Zhe family army, he would never escape. He went to the Liu Mansion to implicate Liu Jiye. This assassin may have come from the Central Plains. After the assassination failed, he accidentally escaped to the Liu Mansion.
Liu Chengjun had great trust in Liu Jiye's loyalty, and he also thought that if the assassin really managed to escape into the Liu Mansion, he would request an order to search for him. Even if he had nothing to do with Liu Jiye, under the scorn of the pro-Liao ministers in the DPRK, it would be difficult to protect Liu Jiye. , if the person is not found, Liu Jiye's loyalty will be weakened. Thinking of this, he said: "Why would General Yelu think that this assassin is a member of the family?"
"General Liu's wife is a member of the Zhe family. This assassin escaped into Liu's house. If he is not a member of the Zhe family? Could it be that he is a subordinate of General Liu Jiye?"
These words naturally confirmed that Liu Jiye was related to the assassins. Liu Chengjun chuckled upon hearing this: "Hey, couldn't it be someone from the Guo family in the Central Plains who came to frame the case? It's too early for the general to say this."
Turning to look at Liu Gongwen, "Did Mr. Liu's guards really see the assassin escape into the Liu Mansion?"
Naturally, Liu Gongwen would not change his words, but nodded and said: "It is indeed because Qian Guards saw it..."
"Where is the money guard?" Liu Chengjun asked.
"Liu was afraid that the assassin would escape from Liu's house, so he left Qian as a guard to keep an eye on him secretly."
When Liu Chengjun saw what he said, he frowned and pondered for a moment and said: "It is already late at night, and it is not appropriate to enter the palace and disturb the emperor's rest... The two of you will go with me to the Liu Mansion to inquire."
He turned around and said to the guards around him, "Prepare your horses", and then walked away. Yelv Zongwu and Liu Gongwen looked at each other, and had no choice but to follow Liu Chengjun towards the Liu Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, the guard Qian came up to him. After saluting, he shook his head at Liu Gongwen and whispered: "The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who came out behind has left with his entourage, but nothing else has happened." I saw someone coming in and out."
It turned out that Liu Jiye was afraid that someone was secretly paying attention, so he asked Zhe Deshou and Zhe Shixun to go out from the front door of the house, while Yang Zhong took the injured Luo Xiaoyao and Mo Bushan and left in a carriage from the backyard.
At this time, the guards in the prince's palace had already knocked on the door, and Liu Jiye came out to welcome him. However, he was not surprised to see Liu Chengjun's arrival. He bowed and saluted, "Jiye has met your highness."
Liu Chengjun smiled and said: "I was busy with political affairs yesterday and was unable to come to express my congratulations to the young master on his upcoming birthday. The successor must not offend me, ah, haha..."
"How dare Jiye." Liu Jiye turned to look at Yelu Zongwu, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I have seen the envoy sir."
When he was guarding the Han border in the north, he had fought against Yelu Zongwu, who was the commander of the Shuozhou cavalry at that time, but he also knew him. Yelu Zongwu smiled slightly and returned the greeting.
Liu Jiye smiled at Liu Gongwen and said, "Presumably Liu Gongfeng didn't catch the assassin, so he asked His Highness the Prince to help him, haha..."
After laughing, he invited Liu Chengjun and the others to sit down in the hall of the mansion. Liu Chengjun looked at the decoration in the hall and said with a smile: "It's midnight, why hasn't Jiye taken a rest yet?"
"On the occasion of my son's first month, many colleagues from the court and China came to congratulate me. I haven't seen Jiye for a long time at the border, so we chatted quite a lot. After seeing off the guests, I wanted to rest, but unexpectedly, Liu Gongfeng's guards wanted to break into the house.
He was stopped by Jiye and said that some assassins had escaped into the house..." Liu Jiye paused and glanced at Liu Gongwen, "Seeing Liu Gongfeng's leaving expression, Jiye guessed that he might come again, so
I don’t think about resting anymore.”
"When did the guards break in?"
"It must have been just after Hai Shi. The servants in the mansion had to do a lot of chores because of the joy of the baby's first month. They had not yet rested at that time." Liu Jiye responded.
Liu Chengjun nodded and looked at Yelu Zongwu, "General Yelu, can you let in the guards who discovered the assassin's intrusion? I have something to ask."
Yelu Zongwu also felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement, and Liu Chengjun ordered his guards to invite the guard named Qian into the house.
Liu Gongwen felt uneasy. He had his own reasons for lying to Yelu Zongwu about Luo Xiaoyao being an assassin. On the one hand, he was worried that Yelu Zongwu would not want to help him deal with Luo Xiaoyao. After all, this was his personal grudge. Chu Nanfeng had
After breaking into the Guard Mansion and killing him, the people in the Guard Mansion were already quite critical.
Secondly, I saw that Luo Xiaoyao and others were injured. If we didn't take the opportunity to remove them and let Chu Nanfeng and Weng Mu come after hearing the news, and Yan Zhongchang was recovering from his injuries, I'm afraid no one would be willing to protect him by then.
As for whether Luo and Mo broke into the Liu Mansion, it is speculation. I thought that Liu Chengjun would search the Liu Mansion regardless of his feelings because of Yelu Zongwu's status as an envoy to the Liao Dynasty. After all, it would be a big deal to assassinate the envoy of the state, but he did not
Thinking of it was like going to court to try a case, but when he saw Guard Qian coming in, his thoughts suddenly changed and he spoke first: "Guard Qian, you will tell Commander Yelu what happened when you saw the two assassins escaping into the house...
"
Guard Qian was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Liu Gongwen squinting at him, he immediately understood that he might be the scapegoat. In the officialdom, observing faces is a compulsory course for every subordinate.
Yan Lue hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, my subordinates were on the roof at the time... more than ten feet away from the two injured assassins. After the two people jumped off the roof, they turned into the alley on the left side of Liu's mansion.
When my subordinates rushed to the alley, they were nowhere to be seen, but they heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard of the Liu Mansion, and thought it was the two men who had fled in..."
"Wait a minute, Qian Weiwei, what you said is not what you saw with your own eyes?" Liu Chengjun frowned and looked at Yelu Zongwu: "Jiye also said just now, because Mr. Jiye has a banquet in Mi Yue, and many servants still have chores to do.
, but based on the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, I concluded that the two assassins broke into Liu's mansion. Isn't General Yelu being hasty?"
After the guard Qian came in, Yelu Zongwu saw Liu Gongwen's words, deeds, and expressions, and knew that Liu Gongwen was concealing the truth. How could Liu Gongwen's cultivation be behind this guard Qian, and secretly cursed Liu Gongwen's ancestors in his heart.
, but at this time, he had to protect the face of his envoy from Daliao after all. He did not answer Liu Chengjun's questions and asked the Qian guard: "What next?"
"My subordinate jumped up to the courtyard wall at that time, but was... discovered by General Liu."
Yelu Zongwu turned to Liu Jiye and smiled: "Why is General Liu so vigilant?"
But Liu Jiye burst out laughing: "Guard Qian probably lost his mind after chasing him for a moment. He thought the assassin broke in through the courtyard wall next to the alley, so why didn't he chase after him immediately and instead broke in through the courtyard wall at the main entrance?"
After a pause, he looked at Yelu Zongwu: "I was just about to send a colleague out of the palace when I saw someone breaking into the courtyard wall, so I punched him down."
Guard Qian's face turned red when he heard this. Yelv Zongwu naturally would not flinch at this time. Although there was no evidence that the assassin escaped into Liu's house, the assassination should be confirmed as fact. After glaring at Guard Qian, he turned to smile and said:
"The assassin failed to kill him, so he fled to this area. General Liu's mansion is very large. Even if someone breaks into it and hides it, he may not be aware of it for a while. I hope to ask General Liu to assist in the investigation, so as to prevent the assassin from shocking the general's family."
"The envoy of the Liao Dynasty was assassinated in our post house in the Han Dynasty. I have the duty of assisting in the investigation. When Liu Gongfeng left, I was afraid that someone might break in and disturb the child. I also checked the house carefully, but there was no one.
Any discovery, this general said... Sir envoy, do you believe it or not?"
Yelu Zongwu was startled when he heard this. As an official of the Liao Dynasty, he knew that officials had official power. As Liu Jiye, no one would dare to search forcibly unless it was the emperor's order. Liu Jiye said this, which implicitly gave him
Walking down the steps, he smiled and said: "General Liu, as the commander of the defense, will not let go of the person who assassinated my envoy. The general has already checked, so how can I not believe it, but the surrounding houses..."
But Liu Chengjun said: "The house on the right across the alley is the residence of Mr. Li from the Ministry of Revenue, the house on the left across the street from the Zhongshushe Renma, and the following few houses are also the residences of officials from the central government... This matter is based on my opinion.
It seems that we should wait until the morning report to the Emperor to make a decision. What do you think, the envoy?"
At this time, he called Yelu Zongwu an envoy, which meant that he was not close to him, and he had the intention of doing things according to the rules. Yelu Zongwu knew that this was the only way he could do it for now, and the real situation might not be what Liu Gongwen said, so he went with
Liu Jiye greeted him politely and left.

People who were hit by the "Shenfeng Powder" would have their skills slowly recover after twelve hours. Unfortunately, when Luo Xiaoyao's Qi gradually weakened, he was injured by Liu Gongwen's palm Qi, and was hit by the "Zhou Tian Zhi" again.
The Hu acupoint was naturally seriously injured. Fortunately, he was not unconscious because of his "Taizhu Mind Technique" and the body of the Heavenly Silkworm. He said to Zhe De Shou, who was in the carriage transporting true energy into his body: "I'm just thinking.
It's because I was poisoned by some kind of San Gong poison, cough, cough... the true energy cannot be condensed, and it is difficult to... draw the energy to heal the injury, but I hope my life is not in danger, so my benefactor does not need to waste the true energy at this time."
Zhe Deshou retracted his right palm and moved Luo Xiaoyao against the wall of the carriage, "Let's take a good rest for now. When we get to Fuzhou, we will find a good doctor to treat him."
He turned to look at Mo Busan, who was in a state of anger, and said, "Mr. Mo, do you need help?"
Mo Bushan looked at the slightly fishy black blood coming out of his palm, shook his head and said: "Fortunately, the poison has not invaded the internal organs, otherwise it would be difficult for the gods to save..."
After hearing this, Zhe Deshou knew that he was fine, so he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, "It's already dawn, and this place is still more than five hundred miles away from Fuzhou. Both of you are injured.
I'm not in a hurry, so I think I won't be able to arrive until tomorrow. If you need anything, please let me know."
The journey went smoothly, and we finally arrived at Shuiximen Ferry of the Yellow River on the morning of the second day. The Zhejia army also had ships hidden in Han territory to support them, so they abandoned their carriages, boarded the ferry, crossed the Yellow River, and set foot on the Mansion.
within the state.
Luo Xiaoyao and Mo Bushan were placed in the military building of the first battalion. Soon after, Zhe Deshou came in with a smile and said: "What a great luck. Unexpectedly, Zhe went to Taiyuan for seven days, and the army invited a
Miracle doctor... wait for a moment, and the Miao Valley Master will come over."
At this time, the twelve-hour medicinal effect of "Shenfeng Powder" has expired. Although Luo Xiaoyao's true energy has gradually recovered, it has been injured by the palm power of Liu Gongwen's "Zhou Tianxin Technique", and Zhou Tianzhi specializes in hurting the acupuncture points of human veins.
The flow of qi and collaterals was sluggish, but I felt chest pain and couldn't get out of bed. After listening to Zhe Deshou's words, he said: "Thank you, brother Zhe..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw two people coming in from the door. He raised his eyes and said happily: "Uncle Master, you..."
It turned out that the visitors were none other than Jiang Qiubai and Miao Changning. A few days ago, Miao Changning made an antidote to eliminate the poison of "Chao Xi San", but seeing that the sergeant was already recovering, he wanted to say goodbye to Jiang Qiubai and leave.
, but I heard that the defense envoy Zhe De said that two knights were poisoned and injured after assassinating the Liao envoy in the Northern Han Dynasty, and asked him to go and treat their injuries.
Miao Changning wanted to be a good person to the end, so he agreed. Jiang Qiubai, who was accompanying him, did not expect that the injured person was Luo Xiaoyao. He was shocked when he saw this, "Xiaoyao, what is going on?"
He immediately turned around and said to Miao Changning: "This is the mountain chief's beloved disciple Luo Xiaoyao. Please pay attention to Master Miao Valley."
Miao Changning was greatly surprised when he heard that he was Chu Nanfeng's disciple. He hurriedly stepped forward to feel his pulse, but his face changed drastically. It turned out that he found out that Luo Xiaoyao was not only injured by his Miao family's "Zhou Tianxin Technique",
He even got hit by the "Kamikaze Powder".
Shocked, he took out a cloth bag from his arms. After opening it, everyone saw more than ten silver needles stored side by side. After Miao Changning sterilized the silver needles, he inserted them into the eight extraordinary meridians on Luo Xiaoyao's body.
Governor, select the acupuncture points of the three meridians and apply acupuncture. After half a stick of incense, he takes out the remaining needle and gives Luo Xiaoyao a "Guiyuan Pill" and says: "Take it and let your Qi flow and regulate your breathing."
Just then, he turned around and walked towards Mo Busan, glanced at Mo Busan's blackened palm, sighed, took out the 'Baicao Pill' and said, "This pill can cure the remaining poison of the silver dragon and snake."
Mo Bushan didn't see any doubts, so he quickly took it and swallowed it, and his luck transformed the medicine's properties throughout his body.
Looking at Jiang Qiubai with a look of concern on his face, Miao Changning said: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, Luo Shaoxia is fine and will definitely recover in a day or two. This "Zhou Tianxin Technique" Qi not only hurts people's internal organs, but also
It is even more harmful to the various Qi-moving meridians. Fortunately, Luo Shaoxia's meridians are different from ordinary people. Otherwise, even if this old man used the eight-meridian Qi-moving acupuncture method, he would have to lie in bed for ten to eight days."
Luo Xiaoyao felt refreshed after taking the silver needle from Miao Changning. After taking the "Guiyuan Pill" to promote qi and circulate around the world, she suddenly felt that the qi in the body was flowing smoothly. She was deeply impressed by Miao Changning's wonderful rejuvenation skills.
He hurriedly got out of bed and bowed and saluted: "Thank you, senior, for helping me."
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise I would really have no face to face Mr. Chu... Sigh." He had confirmed that the person who hurt Luo Xiaoyao was Liu Gongwen. Thinking of Ma Xilan's incident, he naturally sighed, "Young Master Luo is
How to meet the villain Liu Gongwen?"
Luo Xiaoyao and Miao Changning had never met before, but hearing Jiang Qiubai's name for him, he already knew that the old man in front of him was the owner of Yaowang Valley. Naturally, he should not mention the matter of stealing the 'Fengwu Qin' in Taiyuan to anyone.
Hearing this, he thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "My father was accidentally injured, so I went out to look for someone to heal me. I accidentally met the evil thief Liu Gongwen at the Liao Posthouse in Taiyuan. I was poisoned and plotted against him. Fortunately, Mo
I was able to escape only after my husband rescued me."
Luo Xiaoyao was originally annoyed with Mo Busan for deceiving Long Yin from the water, but he was a person with clear grudges. Although the injury could be considered to be caused by Mo Bushan seizing the sword, when he saw that Mo Bushan risked his life to save him, his hatred disappeared.
Instead, I felt grateful.
When Jiang Qiubai heard Luo Xiaoyao's words, his face showed gratitude, and he bowed his hands to Mo Busan, "Thank you very much, Mr. Mo."
He himself didn't know about the feud between Mo Busan and Luo Xiaoyao, and he thought that Mo Busan should be a person in Tongbao Pavilion. Now that Miao and Zhe were present, it was inconvenient to ask about the origin, so as not to reveal the secret of Tongbao Pavilion.
But Mo Busan felt secretly ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly returned the gift with his hands, not even daring to accept the compliment.
"So...this scoundrel probably entered the Guard Mansion and became a guest minister and worshiped him, but how did he refine the "Kamikaze Powder"?"
For a moment, Miao Changning did not expect that the "Shenfeng Powder" originally given to Weng Mu would be obtained by Liu Gongwen. After thinking for a long time, he could not figure out the reason, so he sighed, "This house
The poison of the state soldiers was also caused by this villain. We must try to kill this villain, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
After a pause, he looked at Luo Xiaoyao as if feeling something, and said with a slight hesitation: "I just heard Mr. Luo's words... It seemed that your father was injured, but I don't know what kind of injury he suffered? Can you tell me?"
Luo Xiaoyao felt that everyone in the room was trustworthy, so he did not shy away from mentioning Luo Hanshui's injury. It was unintentional, but Miao Changning was a doctor, so he asked out of instinct.
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and secretly cursed himself for being confused. In fact, he was not to blame. Under the diagnosis of Master Liaojue, an accomplished monk, no one thought that only the "Tian Leiyin" of Monk Mingwu could resolve it.
Baijie Fist, I also forgot to seek treatment from someone with superb medical skills.
Now experiencing Miao Changning's wonderful rejuvenation technique in person, Luo Xiaoyao felt hopeful and hurriedly explained the symptoms of Luo Hanshui's injury.
After hearing this, Miao Changning stroked his long beard and began to think deeply. After a long time, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Is it the same injury as that suffered by Senior Ling?"
After a pause, he looked at Luo Xiaoyao's earnest eyes and said, "If this old man's judgment is correct, your father's injury may be treatable..."
"Ah?" Luo Xiaoyao, who was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I hope seniors can come and save me."
"But if you want to save Mr. Luo's father, you must have someone in the Nascent Soul realm to help. Only by using the Miao family's "Eight Meridians Resurrection Needle" can the rescue be successful."
It turned out that Miao Changning knew that the higher the cultivation level of an injured person, the more difficult it would be to treat him. He thought that Luo Xiaoyao's father must have a high cultivation level, so he made this request for the sake of comprehensiveness.
"Does it have to be the Nascent Soul Realm?" Jiang Qiubai asked.
Miao Changning nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to be foolproof, you have to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. Even the Golden Body Realm with similar cultivation level is not enough."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Miao Changning said: "More than a hundred years ago, my great-grandfather Qingyuan Gong traveled across the mountains in search of rare medicinal herbs. He accidentally found a person lying in a cave, with qi within three feet of his body.
It’s everywhere, but it’s deep in sleep.”
"Qingyuan Gong has already reached a great level of spiritual consciousness. It doesn't look like he has gone crazy while practicing martial arts, but it is not normal either. After careful inspection, he found that his three souls and seven souls were trapped..."
"Three souls and seven souls are trapped?" Zhe Deshou said in surprise.
"The so-called soul is palpitating and the soul is moving. When the person's soul is attacked by the martial arts, the seven souls will naturally palpitate and move to rescue them. However, the skill that hurts the soul is rare in this world. It actually draws the power of the soul away, causing the human body to be drained.
Exhausted and dead."
"And the person whose soul is trapped is in the realm of Nascent Soul. The birth pill already has spiritual consciousness, and the strength of his thoughts is naturally extraordinary. It is thought that when he realizes that his soul is injured and the seven souls are protecting each other, the spiritual consciousness of the birth pill
It also gathers Qi from outside the body to save others, so Qi is spread all over the body."
Everyone is a practitioner of martial arts, and they also know that when they have reached the realm of Nascent Soul, the birth elixir that is warmed and nourished in Tianguan cannot manifest itself as the Taoist cultivator said, but it can.
Condensed into a tangible and intangible divine soul fetal consciousness, killing people invisibly, but people who think of such cultivation will also be hurt by others, and they will become pale after hearing this.
And Luo Xiaoyao heard what Master Jue said about Ling Buyi. Although he was shocked, after hearing the words, he guessed the origin of the injured man.
"Qingyuan Gong knew that his cultivation was not enough, so he did not dare to help. After staying by that person's side for three days, the energy around that person gradually weakened and disappeared. His face turned red and white, his breath became tight and slow, and he knew something was wrong.
, Qingyuan Gong used the silver needles he had prepared earlier and applied acupuncture to the intersection points of the eight meridians to stabilize the Qi of the twelve meridians, and then used the "Eight Meridians Resurrection Needle" method to select the acupoints to strengthen the soul and summon the soul.
I woke up half an hour later."
Luo Xiaoyao heard "Ah" and looked happy.
"The man claimed that his name was Ling Buyi. Although his great-grandfather Qing Yuangong devoted himself to medicine, he had heard of Ling Buyi and knew that he was the number one martial arts master at that time. He was even more surprised. Ling Buyi knew that he was
Qingyuan Gong saved me with acupuncture, but when he thanked me, he said that this was his destiny."
"It turns out that Senior Ling spent all his energy to neutralize the Qi that attacked his soul. When the lamp was exhausted, Qingyuan Gong triggered the remaining Qi in his eight extraordinary meridians to awaken him.
, but his power has dissipated and he is no longer an ordinary person."
But when he heard that the injured person was Ling Buyi as he had guessed in his heart, and that he had been hit by the Hundred Tribulations Fist and suffered a soul catastrophe just as the Zhu monk had expected, Luo Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"And if Qingyuan Gong gathers Qi outside his body to rescue him, causing the Qi stored in the eight meridians to burst out, he will definitely be able to escape the restrained soul. At that time, Senior Ling will
It’s not like he has lost all his skills, but it’s a pity that Mr. Qingyuan’s cultivation is not enough, so he can’t perform acupuncture in the spirit of the natal elixir and the vast energy of self-protection..."
Luo Xiaoyao, who looked nervous, asked: "What happened next? What about Senior Ling?"
Miao Changning sighed: "Senior Ling felt the kindness of his great-grandfather Qingyuan Gong in saving him. After teaching him a few palm skills, he left alone. However, according to Qingyuan Gong's judgment, his time is running out."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, secretly feeling a pity in their hearts.
