Lin Ye knew that he was not dead, but it seemed that he was no longer in this world.
He was in a kind of boundless darkness. He felt that he should have his eyes open and could see nothing but darkness.
He felt like he was rising and falling, as if he were floating down a river in a small boat.
He crawled on the boat, and the bottom of the boat could not isolate himself from the breath of the water. He even felt the coolness, but he could not get up or move, so he could only drift with the current.
I don’t know how long it took, but the small boat must have encountered relatively large waves and started to bump.
Lin Ye felt that his body was knocked out of the boat, and then fell again, which caused some pain.
His sword used up all the inner energy in his body during this period.
But this sword was not prepared for Wang Lian.
In Lin Ye's goals, what does Wang Lian count?
Lin Ye's sword was reserved for more powerful opponents. He has been conserving his inner strength, and the power of this sword will definitely continue to grow.
He has a clear goal, who is this knife for.
However, when facing Wang Lian, Lin Ye knew that his only chance of winning was this knife.
However, there is still no chance of winning.
He actually couldn't figure out why Wang Lian ran away after breaking her arm. Even if she was seriously injured, Wang Lian only needed one more sword strike, and Lin Ye would definitely die.
At that moment, Wang Lian turned around and left without any hesitation. She must have sensed the danger.
Lin Ye was self-aware. After that knife attack, he was worse than a useless person. How could it be him that Wang Lian was afraid of?
After the boat bumped for a while, it seemed that it had not encountered wind and waves, but had docked.
He lay there, waiting for someone to talk to him. He was wondering why he was on a ship and who was the person who took him on board.
But where did the boat come from?
This is Yunzhou City, and there is no river here at Honglai Temple.
A man in black was walking holding Lin Ye's belt. When he walked not far from the door of Lin Ye's house, he threw Lin Ye to the ground.
This was the jolt that Lin Ye felt, but in reality he was being thrown away.
The man in black looked down at Lin Ye, his eyes a little complicated.
"If you are so weak, why should you be so strong?"
He whispered to himself, very softly, so softly that even Lin Ye didn't hear it, even if he was close at hand.
Xiaohan called out in the yard, his voice seemed a little urgent, and a moment later there was the sound of scratching on the door.
The man in black glanced at Lin Ye again, then turned and left.
At this moment, Lin Ye had actually just opened his eyes. His eyes were still dark, but it was no longer like a black curtain.
The darkness just now was not penetrating, it was the kind of darkness you would have had if you were blindfolded. What you saw now was the night, and no matter how dark the night, there was still some residual light.
He saw the man's back, which was very tall and straight. The only thing Lin Ye was sure of was that... he wasn't Mr. Qian.
When Lin Ye woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Lin Ye slept for a long time. When he opened his eyes, his vision changed from blurry to clear, and he saw the concerned faces of many people.
Zinai is here, Master Niang is here, Lao Chen is here, Master is here, and my aunt is also there.
They were all beside the bed, and the moment they saw Lin Ye opening his eyes, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Ye's injuries had been bandaged. Several of his ribs were broken and there was a wound on one temple.
The most important thing is that he is still very weak and does not even have the strength to sit up by himself.
"Little Ye Zi, how are you now?"
The first thing I heard was my wife's voice, which was a little hoarse.
Lin Ye tried his best to smile, but he knew that his smile at this time must be ugly.
"fine."
Lin Ye replied with two words.
When these two words came out, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. The voice didn't sound like him at all. It was hoarse and cracked like the land that had been in drought for three years. Two hours later.
Lin Ye finally looked better, his face was no longer so pale, and some of his color had returned.
He even ate a large bowl of noodles, although his chest hurt with every bite he swallowed.
"Brother and umbrella."
Zinai said: "They were all left at the door. I didn't see anyone when I went out."
With Zina's current strength, he didn't even see the figure or sense the person's aura.
Lin Ye nodded: "I saw... a back figure."
He said: "The person who rescued me should be young. He has a very tall figure and is slightly taller than me."
Just when Zinai was about to say something, Tuoba Yunxi said: "Zinai, you go outside to play for a while, and I will have a few words with your brother."
Zina stood up and said, "Okay, auntie."
Only Tuoba Yunxi and Lin Ye were left in the room. Lin Ye looked at his aunt with the same look as a child who had done something wrong looks at his parents.
"Wang Lian is the murderer?"
Tuoba Yunxi asked.
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "So you knew it was better to keep Wang Lian, but you still killed him."
Lin Ye: "I can't kill him."
Tuoba Yunxi's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.
Lin Ye: "I am no match for Wang Lian. I underestimated him. Even if I try my best, I still can't kill him."
Tuoba Yunxi was thinking, who else in Yunzhou City could possess such terrifying strength.
With just one blow, he could kill a master like Wang Lian in two pieces.
"You shouldn't hide it from me."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "If you come to the palace and know that you are dealing with Wang Lian, I will make arrangements."
Lin Ye: "But...that's Zinai's hatred."
Tuoba Yunxi's expression changed slightly.
"You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Wang Lian is dead, and the emperor's plan to frame my brother and Prince Cheng will definitely be delayed."
She said: "Just focus on your cultivation, and I will take care of the rest."
Lin Ye said: "Thank you, auntie."
Tuoba Yunxi glanced at Lin Ye, then glared again.
One look is distressed and the other is resentful.
"Lie down."
Tuoba Yunxi stood up and left. After she left, Zinai ran back as fast as flying.
"Brother, do you still feel pain?"
"It doesn't hurt. I even want to eat another bowl of noodles."
"Then I'll cook it for you?"
"No, no, you should learn to distinguish between what adults say is true and what is false. I'm just bragging."
Zinai: "Then, what else do you want? To drink water or not?"
Lin Ye said: "I don't want anything. You go and accompany Master Niang and the others. I'll just rest for a while."
Zinai hummed and reached out to touch Lin Ye's forehead. After confirming that Lin Ye didn't have a fever, she seemed to be slightly relieved.
When Tuoba Yunxi returned to Beiye Palace, Tuoba Lie was cleaning his knife in his study.
That was the sword he wore during the war. After calculation, it had not been used for more than ten years.
After the war, there was peace for more than ten years, and the general's sword became a decoration, but for the people, this was definitely a good thing.
"How is Lin Ye?"
When Tuoba Lie saw his sister coming back, he asked casually.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "It's okay, I just need to practice for a while."
Tuoba Lie: "He was actually able to kill Wang Lian. His strength has advanced so fast that I have to admire him with admiration."
Tuoba Yunxi: "He didn't kill him."
Tuoba Lie raised his head and looked at Tuoba Yunxi: "Not him?"
Tuoba Yunxi looked at the knife in Tuoba Lie's hand: "Is it you?"
Tuoba Lie handed over the knife: "Then smell it, is there the smell of blood on my knife?"
Tuoba Yunxi did not take the sword, but walked to the side and sat down: "Of all the masters in Yunzhou City, even if I don't know who has such strength, you should know."
Tuoba Lie nodded: "I know, there is only one."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Who?"
Tuoba Lie: "Me."
Tuoba Yunxi glared at her brother.
If Tuoba Lie said it wasn't him, it definitely wasn't him, because her brother had never lied to her, not even once.
"I can't think of anything."
Tuoba Lie said: "Wang Lian is a master of at least three rays in Wuyue Realm. He may have already broken through to four rays. In this Yunzhou City, no one except me can kill him so easily."
He put the knife into its sheath and hung it back on the wall.
"When did Yunzhou City become so complicated... Even I feel a little strange."
Tuoba Lie said as he sat down.
"Lin Ye messed up Yu Lingwei's plan, but after this news reaches Geling, the emperor will definitely be furious."
He said: "If Wang Lian dies, the emperor will not feel sad or angry. What he is angry about is that the plan failed."
Tuoba Yunxi asked: "Would you like to go to Tianshui Cliff?"
Tuoba Lie said: "Even I feel like I have a headache. What can Ai Youyou from Tianshui Cliff do? His Taoism is not good enough to influence the current situation."
Tuoba Yunxi asked: "What do you think the emperor will do?"
Tuoba Lie said: "What else can we do? Just keep sending people. Yu Lingwei never does anything with only one hand prepared."
He looked at Tuoba Yunxi: "Lin Ye ruined one of their plans, they will have a second one, a third one, if they are gone..."
After he paused for a moment, he said helplessly: "They can still betray each other directly under the emperor's instruction, without having to bother and prepare any evidence."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "I don't want anything to happen to the little duck egg."
Tuoba Lie: "Why aren't you worried about whether something will happen to me or not?"
Tuoba Yunxi: "If it was time for me to worry about you, you would probably have sent me away long ago. The fact that I am still in Yunzhou for a while means that you haven't had such a headache that you can't do anything about it."
Tuoba Lie: "Little fox."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Big fox!"
Tuoba Lie smiled, stood up and said, "Wang Lian's strength among the Yu Ling Guards is the weakest among all the commanders."
"If the emperor is really angry, he will no longer send any commanders, but let the governor come in person..."
He looked at Tuoba Yunxi and said, "I can only send you away first. At worst, I'll add your friend, the little duck egg, but there's nothing I can do about her father."
Because of these words, a dark cloud appeared in Tuoba Yunxi's heart.
Over the years, as long as her brother was still in Yunzhou City, she had never been afraid of anything.
For the first time, the dark clouds in her heart were so thick that they blocked the light.
"do not be afraid."
Tuoba Lie said: "I have been fighting with the Emperor for more than ten years. If he wanted to win disgracefully, he would have won long ago. But if he wanted to win a little more decently, I would not lose so easily."
He looked out the window.
"The Emperor, he doesn't have to be dishonorable to win against anyone, such as his brothers, but he must be dishonorable to win against me."
Tuoba Lie smiled: "I believe your brother, your brother will not bow his head and admit defeat so easily."
The emperor wants dignity because Tuoba Lie's contribution is there. Without Tuoba Lie, the emperor would not have the title of emperor.
He said: "No big deal, I will stop playing with my hands and take you directly to Geling to see the emperor, saying that I am tired of leading the army and don't want to lead anymore. There still needs to be a big manor like ours in Geling."
"
But.
He is Tuoba Lie. How could he give up military power so easily? Without military power, if he returns to Geling, he will definitely have a large estate...
But God knows, one day the manor will become a cemetery.
