Qi Ning galloped and ran for more than twenty miles in one breath. He felt that Xiang Baiying was getting cold all over. He turned into the woods on the roadside, got off the horse, and took Xiang Baiying off the horse. , carefully placed on the ground, Xiang Baiying's face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked like he was exhausted.
Nowadays, the top master in the world and the leader of the largest gang in the world has become like this. Qi Ning feels deeply in his heart.
"Uncle Xiang, are you feeling unwell?" Qining whispered, "Let's rush to Chengdu now and find a doctor to treat your injuries."
He knew very well in his heart that Xiang Baiying's injuries might not be cured by an ordinary doctor, even if Qiu Lixigong, the immortal saint of the Black Lotus Sect, was here.
Xiang Baiying opened his eyes slightly and shook his head: "You can't go... to Chengdu...!"
"Can't go to Chengdu?" Qi Ning whispered: "Uncle Xiang, Lu Shanghe and Baihu will never give up. They will definitely search for us. They are quite powerful in Xichuan. If...!"
"The Shenhou Mansion...!" Xiang Baiying breathed lightly: "The Shenhou Mansion will have unexpected consequences...!"
Qi Ning was startled, but he understood immediately.
Chu Huan took Xiang Baiying to Chengdu, naturally to meet up with Xuanyuan Po and others waiting in Chengdu. Xiang Baiying was obviously worried about falling into the hands of the Shenhou Mansion.
The Shenhou Mansion and the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects have always been on guard against each other. If the leader of the Beggar Clan falls into the hands of the Shenhou Mansion, Ximen Wuhen will definitely cause even greater trouble. Xiang Baiying is obviously I don't want the Shenhou Mansion to make a big fuss out of me.
Qi Ning sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that you, Xiang Baiying, could consider this and be considered an extremely shrewd person, but why did you fall so hard on Lu Shanghe? It seems that you place too much emphasis on love and justice, which may not be a good thing. .
He was worried that the White Tiger would send people to follow the horse's hooves to catch up. After all, the disciples of the Beggar Clan were well-informed, and it was still not suitable to stay here for a long time. The night was deep, so he picked up Xiang Baiying, left the horse in the forest, and walked on foot. He had deep internal strength, even though he was carrying He moved toward Baiying, but his speed was not slow.
But at this time, Xiang Baiying felt that not only was his whole body weak, but his limbs were limp and hanging low. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't care less about it at this time.
After walking for more than an hour, they reached an official road and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Qining turned around and looked over, only to see two fast horses flying towards him. Qining frowned, but fortunately when the two fast horses passed by, Without even looking at Qi Ning, he passed by. Qi Ning immediately raised his spirits and chased after him.
In the past few days, he had done a lot of actual combat, and he had a general understanding of his own kung fu. His feet were like flying, and he caught up with a horse behind him. He jumped up and shouted: "I'm sorry." He raised his feet and already pulled the man away. Kicked to the ground and landed on the horse's back, he spurred the horse on and walked past the man in front.
The man was shocked and looked at Qining riding away.
Qining was galloping, thinking about where to go. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips.
…
…
As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun scatters over the entire Black Rock Ridge. Fragments of light are projected from between the gaps between the trees and shine on several men. Several men are clustered under a big tree high in the mountain. Looking from a distance, there is a look of worry on his face.
"Brother Feng, should we go to Chengdu to see if the Marquis has returned to Chengdu?" A man asked worriedly.
The person known as "Brother Feng" was Qi Feng, the guard of the Jinyi Hou Mansion. With a solemn expression, he turned to one of them and asked, "Li Tang, are you sure that the Marquis really went to Qianwu Ridge?"
Li Tang nodded and said: "The Marquis and the people from the Shenhou Mansion went to Qianwu Ridge together and told me to meet you at Heiyan Ridge. I repeatedly told him that once he finishes his work, he will come to Heiyan Cave to meet us."
"Logically speaking, things should be finished by now." Qi Feng said worriedly: "How come several days have passed and I still haven't seen the Marquis coming."
"Don't worry, Miss Eve is here. Even if the Marquis doesn't care about us, he will definitely think about Miss Eve." Li Tang said with a smile: "The Black Lotus Sect in Qianwu Ridge is strong, even if the Shenhou Mansion has gathered eight If the people of the Sixteenth Sect want to attack and destroy the Black Lotus Sect, it will not be possible in an instant. We just have to wait. Moreover, there are people from the Shenhou Mansion around the Marquis, and the people from the Shenhou Mansion will never dare to It makes the Marquis lose one hair."
"You said that this court is doing nothing." Zhou Shun complained: "Originally, I sent the Marquis to investigate the Heiyan Cave incident. The Marquis has already figured out the clues and proved the innocence of Heiyan Cave. This matter has already been taken care of. Suddenly a decree came, asking the Marquis to go to Qianwu Ridge. That is the matter of the Shenhou Mansion, why should the Marquis get involved."
Li Tang turned around and sat down under the big tree. He leaned against the big tree and said with a smile: "You are smart, but sometimes you are really stupid. Both the old marquis and the general have made great achievements and have high prestige in the government and the public. Who dares to look down upon the noble family? Now that the young marquis has inherited the title, although he is wise and intelligent, he is still young and does not have outstanding achievements in his hands. The emperor gave the young marquis the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. This is the real one among us. Mr. Marquis of the house."
Qi Feng simply sat under the tree, patted Zhou Shun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I told you several times, when you are fine, you should learn more words. Li Tang was not just a knife-wielding guy before. The martial artist who mastered the gun later learned a few words and read a few books from the accountant, so his knowledge is higher than yours."
Zhou Shun glanced at Li Tang, but he was quite unconvinced.
"Don't be dissatisfied." Qi Feng said with a smile: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and he has the merits of protecting the throne. King Huainan has many followers. When the general was alive, he had great military achievements, so he can naturally stand up to them. , but after the general passed away, Jin Yihou's words in the court were not so important. The young Marquis wanted to revitalize the Jin Yihou Mansion, and the emperor also wanted to support the young Marquis, so naturally he wanted to give the young Marquis more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. This The first attack on Qianwu Ridge is a small test for the young Marquis. Once successful, the credit will naturally belong to the young Marquis. However, if it really fails, the Shenhou Mansion will be responsible for the subordinates, and they will not be able to escape the blame."
Zhou Shundao: "The little Marquis should let us go there together. We have made great contributions and can bring glory to the Marquis' face."
Qi Feng shook his head and said: "This is the cleverness of the young marquis. In the final analysis, he is protecting us. If the rest of us really follow, are we just watching from the sidelines? Don't forget that according to the rumors, Black The leader of the Lotus Sect is one of the five great masters, and they have a geographical advantage. If we really want to fight, a lot of people will die. The young marquis is there, so there is no need to go into battle in person, but if we follow, that will be We must rush to the front, the young Marquis is worried that something will happen to us, so he asked us to wait here."
Li Tang sighed: "I am always uneasy. Brother Feng, you said that these five great masters have legendary magical skills. How powerful are they? If it is true that they are as omnipotent as the rumors say, the Eight Gangs Even if the sixteen sects are as expert as a cloud, I’m afraid they can’t do anything to the Black Lotus Sect.”
Qi Feng was also thoughtful and said softly: "This attack on Qianwu Ridge was planned by the Lord Ximen. If he was not sure, he would not let so many people die in vain, even if he didn't care about the eight gangs and sixteen factions. Life or death, with so many people in the Shenhou Mansion taking action, he will never care."
After the sun set, the sky gradually darkened. Qi Feng and others saw that Qi Ning's figure had not appeared, and they knew that they had waited for another day in vain. At this time, someone came over to invite a few people to dinner. Several people were in the black cave, and they were all under the influence. Heiyandong treated several people with extremely high courtesy. He had three meals a day, almost all of which were banquets, which made several people feel a little embarrassed.
Descending from the mountain, following a path towards the stockade, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "You are quite at ease."
Several people immediately turned around, only to see a person a few meters away looking at them with a smile. In front of them was a Miao Han who was leading the way. Who else was that person if it wasn't Qining
When several people suddenly saw Qi Ning appear, they were all startled, and then they were filled with joy. They quickly stepped forward and said in unison: "Little Marquis, you... you are here!"
Seeing Qi Ning carrying something on his back, completely covered by a black robe, Qi Feng immediately said: "Master Marquis, leave it to me." Just as he was about to go up and take it, Qi Ning shook his head and said: "No, I will do it myself. I want to see Bayali, take me to him.”
When Bayeli, the master of the Black Rock Cave, received the report, the young Marquis in Jinyi came and rushed out of the house immediately. When he saw Qining coming, without saying a word, he stepped forward and prostrated, saying gratefully: "Master Marquis, Bayeli... Bayeli I don’t know how to repay your kindness, you...!”
Qining shook his head and said: "Lord Bayeli Cave, I have something important to discuss with you, the sooner the better."
Seeing Qi Ning's solemn expression, Bayeli knew that the matter was serious and immediately led Qi Ning into the house. Qi Ning ordered Qi Feng and others to guard outside and not allow anyone to approach.
Only Bayeli and Qining were left in the room. Qining carefully placed the things on his back on the floor. Bayeli came closer. Qining opened a corner and saw a person wrapped in a black robe. His face was pale and he was completely motionless, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"Master Hou, this...?"
"Master Bayeli Cave, the Black Rock Cave and the Jinyihou Mansion are two generations of friends, and the relationship is very deep." Qining said seriously: "In the entire Xichuan, I can only trust you two brothers and sisters."
Bayeli couldn't understand why, with a stern look on his face, he immediately said: "Master Hou, the survival of the six villages in Heiyan Cave is all thanks to Master Hou, and he saved Eve's life, whether it is Heiyan Cave or Ba Yeli." Even Yeli can't repay the kindness of the Marquis. If the Marquis has any instructions, just say it bluntly, even if it costs his life, Bayeli will not frown. "
Qi Ning did not hesitate, pointed to Xiang Baiying in the black robe and said: "This is my friend who has a life-long friendship with me, but now many people want to kill him. He is injured and needs to recover for a long time. With him The current injury cannot withstand long distances, and I cannot take him away from Xichuan."
"I understand what the Marquis means." Baye said forcefully: "Leave him to me. I don't know what kind of injury he suffered, but I will definitely find the best witch doctor to help him treat him, and I can make a promise to the witch god. I swear that I will never let anyone know that he is hiding in the Black Cave."
