"Special envoy, that old thing has been tied up." The middle-aged warrior tied up and gagged Master Jia according to Xia Shang's request, and returned to Xia Shang as if he was taking credit, hoping to get some praise from him.
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a black punch. The middle-aged warrior was knocked to the ground before he could react.
Xia Shang didn't care about the others. He entered the cell and gently pushed the half-dead Yue Yanzhi.
I don't know if he touched Yue Yanzhi's wound, but he groaned in pain under Xia Shang's touch.
Although Yue Yanzhi had woken up, he was still in a trance. He didn't even know that the person in front of him was Xia Shang, and murmured: "Kill...kill me, there are...some things, I am
...I won’t tell you no matter what.”
Xia Shang frowned, thinking that you are already like this, but you still want to keep a secret? Are the bones of ancient literati so hard? Also, what secret is he trying to keep? He would rather die than reveal anything...
…
Looking at his current appearance, it's impossible to ask him anything useful.
Xia Shang didn't ask any questions, carried Yue Yanzhi on his back, and left the underground secret room.
The chaos outside gave Xia Shang an opportunity. There was no defense in the secret room, and entry and exit were very smooth.
After returning to the ground, no one around noticed Xia Shang's actions.
Not far away, two masters were fighting, and it was hard to tell them apart.
Xia Shang was secretly happy and quickened his pace behind Yue Yanzhi's back.
I met a few strangers on the way, and no matter which party they were from, they were all knocked unconscious by Xia Shang.
After leaving Qingshan Residence, Xia Shang went straight into the mountains, not caring about Banshanke and Wu Changan.
But after Xia Shang walked a few steps, he met Xian'er and Shangguan Chan only a few dozen meters away from Qingshan Residence.
Xian'er's Gu was good at tracking and had already left a mark on Xia Shang, so Xia Shang could be found no matter where he went.
"Young master, you succeeded so quickly?" Xian'er looked happy when she saw Yue Yanzhi on Xia Shang's back.
Xia Shang nodded: "We have to find a place to treat him. He looks like he will die sooner or later."
"Then where are we going now?"
"Go into the mountain! There are two masters inside who are fighting for this person.
, if you find that I have arrived first, you will definitely search everywhere for your life, the mountains are relatively hidden, and it is not easy to be discovered."
"Then let's leave quickly." Xian'er glanced in the direction of Qingshan Residence, because even from such a long distance, she could still feel the pressure caused by the Grandmaster's battle.
Xia Shang nodded and went into the mountain with Xian'er and the others.
The companion Hua Wuguo was much quieter than usual, and there was nothing strange on his face.
Finally, Xia Shang fixed his eyes on Shangguanchan and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Shangguan Chan suffered a severe mental damage after seeing the deaths and injuries of his fellow disciples. At this moment, his spirit was still sluggish and he didn't reply. He just nodded lightly.
A group of four people quickly entered the mountain and walked in the mountain for about seven or eight hours. They didn't know where they went. They didn't stop until they couldn't feel the presence of the pursuers at all.
It is still a cave. The previous cave was larger, but there is no trace of anyone living there.
Shangguan Chan and Yue Yanzhi both needed a rest, so one Xia Shang and Xian'er went to collect herbs and the other went to look for food, leaving Hua Wuguo to take care of the two of them in the cave.
As dusk approached, Xia Shang and Xian'er returned to the cave. Shangguan Chan had already lit a fire and was sitting by the fire, thinking blankly.
On the other side, Hua Wuguo ran over quickly: "Master... the people inside are awake and asking where they are. Come over and have a look."
Is Yue Yanzhi awake?
Xia Shang felt nervous, dropped the herbs he collected from the mountains, and trotted over.
The light in the cave was dim and Yue Yanzhi couldn't see who was coming, so he was instinctively afraid.
"Don't come over...don't come over..."
Xia Shang squatted next to Yue Yanzhi and brought a torch: "Mr. Yue, do you know who I am?"
Xia Shang put the torch in front of him so that the firelight could illuminate his face more clearly.
By the light of the fire, Yue Yanzhi seemed to calm down a lot. He looked at Xia Shang, but frowned: "You are... you are... a tourist in the village..."
Xia Shang smiled and was about to say something when Yue Yanzhi suddenly shook his head: "No... no... you are not a tourist, you are... your identity..."
"My identity is not important. What is important is that Mr. Yue's current physical condition is not important.
Not optimistic and needs to take good care of himself."
"How...how can you save me..."
Xia Shang ignored him. Now was not the time to talk to Yue Yanzhi. He needed rest and treatment now.
Following Yue Yanzhi along the way, Xia Shang's attitude toward this person changed quite a bit.
He was originally an insignificant person, his life and death had nothing to do with him, and Xia Shang didn't care at all.
But along the way, I also witnessed his transformation from an ordinary old man to what he is now. I can even imagine how much torture this person suffered during this period. An ordinary person, after experiencing so much torture, can actually hold on.
The secret in his heart, no matter what the secret was, Xia Shang also admired him a little more from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time felt a little sympathy when he saw him like this.
After that, Xia Shang started making medicine, while Xian'er made food.
The group of people spent a peaceful night in the cave.
The next morning, Yue Yanzhi's condition improved a lot, and Shangguanchan's spirit was also better.
Shangguan Chan was also very closely related to Yue Yanzhi's situation, because this man caused numerous casualties to her friends. She wanted to know what the secret in Yue Yanzhi's heart was more than Xia Shangdu.
When Xia Shang was about to talk to Yue Yanzhi, Shangguanchan also sat aside actively. She didn't say anything, she just wanted to listen.
Yue Yanzhi was awake all night. After a night, he seemed to have figured out something. When he saw Xia Shang coming over, he asked before Xia Shang could say anything: "Are you from the imperial court?"
Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
"Are you here to take my life too?"
Xia Shang hesitated again and thought for a while: "Yes."
"Then why don't you just kill me?"
"Because I also have some curiosity about the reasons behind Mr. Yue's departure from Beijing."
"Did you also believe the rumors in the world and think that there is some general outline of the heavenly book in this old man?"
Xia Shang shook his head: "No, no, no... just the opposite..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Because I know that the legend is false, I am very curious. What kind of secret will make you risk your life to protect it? Is the secret in your heart more valuable than the outline of the Book of Heaven?"
