"Who is that person?" Duan Ling asked Wu Du.
Duan Ling didn't know, and Wu Du was even more confused. Duan Ling said, "Helan Jie calls him 'The Unknown Guest'. Have you heard this name before?"
Wu Du was shocked, remembering what Cai Yan said, and his brows furrowed.
"Unknown guest?" Wu Du asked, "Are you sure?"
Duan Ling nodded, rubbing his red wrist, Wu Du said again: "No, it can't be him, what is he doing here?"
Duan Ling was surprised: "You know him?"
Wu Du took a deep breath, his thoughts were like a mess, Duan Ling kept asking questions, but Wu Du did not answer.
"He cut off Helanjie's hand." Duan Ling said, "So Helanjie wanted to avenge him. Why did he do this?"
Wu Du replied, "I don't know."
Duan Ling asked again, "Who is Wumingke?"
In a sense, Wumingke also saved his life. If he didn't show up, it was hard to say whether Wu Duhui would have been ambushed by Helan Jie under that circumstance. In the end, Wumingke sacrificed his life to buy time for him.
A whistle was heard in the distance, which was the communication method of the party members. Duan Ling immediately responded with a whistle. The guards rushed out of the woods. Everyone was very nervous. Seeing Wu Du carrying Duan Ling, they knew they were safe.
"His Royal Highness is looking for you all over the mountains and fields." The guard said in party language, "Bian Lingbai hasn't come yet, what should I do next?"
Duan Ling said in Dang Xiang language: "Don't move, I'll come right away."
In addition, Bian Lingbai has not yet been eradicated, Duan Ling has briefly explained to Wu Du, Wu Du is still thinking, in his eyes, Bian Lingbai and Helan Jie are not a problem, so he nodded and said: "Since it is arranged, just press Go ahead as planned."
Duan Ling thought for a while and decided to change the plan. Helianbo's people should be withdrawn from the cave first, and instead they would ambush outside the cave to prevent accidents. Now that Wu Du is back, there is no need to kill them with real swords. When Bian Ling became white, he re-arranged and asked people to monitor the movement on the way. Passing through the temporary camp of Dangxiang people, he decided to rest for a while before starting. Wu Du seemed to be still thinking about why the "unnamed guest" appeared here, so Duan Ling briefly explained what happened between the two. Wu Du was shocked when he heard the small box.
"Is it such a big box?" Wu Du gestured and asked Duan Ling.
"Yes!" Duan Ling said, "Is there anything in the box?"
He felt that the box seemed very important to Wu Du, and Wu Du asked again, "Whose hands did it end up in?"
Duan Ling shook his head in a daze, and Wu Du understood it all at once, and said, "No wonder that fellow came here, but how could he know about the treasure map?"
"Who is it?" Duan Ling asked again.
Wu Du looked at Duan Ling and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden uproar around him. The two party guards shouted loudly, but a man in black pushed him away.
It's him!
Duan Ling couldn't help but take a step back, the man in black staggered and broke into their camp.
He was covered in wounds, and looked at Duan Ling and Wu Du with uneasy eyes.
Wu Du drew his sword, but the opponent had no weapon in his hand.
He first took off his mask and showed Duan Ling's familiar face - Lang Junxia.
Duan Ling's mind went blank in an instant, the world was spinning for a while, his throat tightened, and he was terrified as he tightly grasped Wu Du's hand.
Helan Jie's iron hook was fed with a highly poisonous poison, which had made Lang Junxia's wounds on his chest, abdomen, and arms turn black, and his lips appeared blue-purple.
"You... you..." Duan Ling was speechless.
"His Royal Highness ordered me to take you back." Wu Du said, "You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, but it saved me a lot of effort."
Lang Junxia pressed the rock with one hand and said slowly, "Change your antidote."
Then, he took out a small box made of sandalwood from his arms and slowly placed it on the rock.
Wu Du was silent for a while, then said, "This is originally my thing, you use my thing to exchange the antidote with me?"
Lang Junxia took off the bead on his wrist, put it on the box, and said, "Send it to your little friend."
Wu Du was silent for a moment, and finally took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
"It's enough for you to use once." Wu Du said, "It's troublesome to dispense the medicine, and the rest should be better for yourself."
The porcelain vase flew up and turned into an arc. Lang Junxia caught the vase, dodged into the jungle, and disappeared.
Duan Ling shouted, "Wait!"
However, Lang Junxia never looked back and disappeared, Duan Ling stood there, seeing this person again, with mixed feelings for a while. Wu Du stepped forward and opened the box. Inside was a thin roll of silk, as if there was room for others.
"What is this?" Duan Ling asked.
"Shanhe swordsmanship." Wu Du replied, "Without the cooperation of mind and method, it is impossible to learn."
"What about this?" Duan Ling pointed to the small space next to the box, which seemed to be used for medicine.
"Wanmu Huichun Pill." Wu Du said, "For life-saving use, the four major assassins, each of whom has one, must have used up now, I searched for it for a long time, and it fell into Zhao Kui's hands and was hidden again. Here, there should be another thing in it, that is, the white tiger bright light armor worn by Helan Jie, which has been in the world for too long, and I didn't expect it to be in his hands."
Wu Du put away the box, handed the beads to Duan Ling, and said, "Let's go."
Duan Ling didn't dare to pick it up. Looking at the Buddha beads, Wu Du said, "If you don't want it, just throw it away."
Where did that string of beads come from? Is it from Helan Jie? Duan Ling looked at it, and Wu Du explained: "This is the relic of Xingzun, the master of Helan Jie and Master Kongming, which can ward off poison and miasma. He took off this bead, which means that he avenged the late emperor, and also That's why I gave him the antidote."
Duan Ling suddenly understood that after his father's death, Lang Junxia chopped off Helan Jie's hand and obtained the Buddhist beads he wore on his hand.
"Will Wuluohoumu die?" Duan Ling's mood was extremely complicated.
"No." Wu Du replied, "He is very smart. He was poisoned twice. He knows that I have an antidote here. Only I can save him, and only I can save him."
The two got on the horse again, the sky was already bright, and Duan Ling was really sleepy. He leaned in front of Wu's single bed to sleep. After the two reunited, they seemed to have a lot to say, but no one said anything and left the camp and went up the mountain. Ben Xiao walked through the woods, and the light and shadow fell like a meteor, passing over their bodies, and the autumn wind blew and rustled.
At the entrance of the cave, Wu Du woke up Duan Ling and asked, "Is this here?"
Duan Ling pointed the way in a daze, and the two went down the cave again. When they reached the platform, they just heard the conversation of Bian Lingbai and others.
"What should I do?" Duan Ling asked in a low voice.
Wu Du asked Duan Ling to sit on the edge of the cliff and said, "Sleep for a while, I'm dead sleepy."
Duan Ling: "..."
Helianbo's people all withdrew, and there were only Wu Du and Duan Ling in the cave, hiding in the concave hole high on the platform. There was a scream from the cliff at the entrance. Obviously someone fell, and Wu Du fell asleep and woke up.
"You haven't found your way yet?"
Wu Du woke up and said impatiently, "This guy's parents are also capable enough to give birth to such a stupid person?"
Duan Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Every time he listened to Wu Du's sarcasm, he found it very funny.
Where the two were hiding, they could just see a little fire in the distance, and Bian Lingbai was busy looking for a way.
"Where's your party Xiang Xiaoxiang?" Wu Du said.
"No!" Duan Ling said, "Why are you always having trouble with him? You're just a friend, really just a friend."
Wu Du took Duan Ling's eyes and said, "It's really in danger, do you know who will save you?"
"Understood—" Duan Ling only thought that Wu Ducheng's daily consumption of vinegar was very funny.
"How to repay me?" Wu Du lazily put his long legs on the cave wall and looked at Duan Ling.
Duan Ling was playing with the gold bar he took from the hole last time, and he handed it to Wu Du and said, "Here it is for you."
Wu Du took it and threw it out. Duan Ling's chin fell to the ground. That was gold!
"Not enough." Wu Du yawned and said boringly.
"What can I give you." Duan Ling said, "When you took me home, I had nothing."
Wu Du leaned in front of the cave wall, holding his arm, moved his index finger, and tapped his elbow meaninglessly.
"When you came." Duan Ling replied, "I just felt... I..."
Duan Ling's heart was extremely complicated, and at that moment, he thought of his father again.
"Wu Du, you are so kind to me." Duan Ling said, "I really have nothing to repay you, I... hey..."
When Duan Ling said this, Wu Du became embarrassed and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to reveal his feelings any more.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Duan Ling asked again.
This question instead stopped Wu Du, his expression thoughtful, and he pondered for a moment.
"Wang Shan, you are a merciless person." Wu Du suddenly said.
Duan Ling was startled and looked at Wu Du.
"Do you know why I said that?" Wu Du said again.
Duan Ling's brows furrowed slightly. It was the first time he heard someone use this word to evaluate him since he was a child.
"Am I merciless?" Duan Ling said, "I... I don't."
"You and Muqing are studying in the same class." Wu Du said casually, "Since Xichuan came out, he never even left a letter of farewell to him."
Duan Ling replied, "That's because of me..."
Wu Du raised his hand, indicating that he did not need to explain, and said, "Mr. Fei is always thinking about you, but you have never asked his opinion."
Duan Ling replied, "Because..."
"You don't believe him, do you?" Wu Du said again, "That boy Dang Xiang has a lot of affection for you, didn't you see the way he looked at you? There's something in his eyes. You were kidnapped by Helan Jie, He was in a hurry to find you all over the mountains and fields, and when he saw his subordinates, you sent him away with a few words."
Duan Ling had no room for rebuttal.
Wu Du finally said: "You say it yourself, is this a ruthless love?"
Duan Ling was speechless, Wu Du said these words, but without the slightest anger, he looked at Duan Ling.
"But I can feel it." Wu Du said, "You are sincere to me, that's why I came to save you. After this matter, there are some things I want to ask you about."
Bian Lingbai finally found the wooden wedge and walked carefully. This was the only way for them to go to the treasure room. Wu Du and Duan Ling spied on from a high place. Wu Du tied a rope to Duan Ling, indicating that he was stuck on two stalactites in the cave.
"Stand firmly." Wu Du whispered, "Hold on to the stalagmite."
Duan Ling nodded, Wu Du wrapped the rope around his body twice, then spread his arms and leaped out of the cave.
Duan Ling suddenly raised a heart in his throat, and immediately after the rope reached the bottom, he yanked him violently. Wu Du tied the rope in a very clever way, so that he would not be strangled and hurt, and Juli pulled him to the ground. On the edge of the cave, Duan Ling was busy hugging the stalactite tightly, looking down with the probe.
Wu Du, like an eagle in the dark, floated to the top of Bian Lingbai's head, turned over on his head and feet, flicked a shot of medicinal powder into his neck, and then made a gesture upward. Turn, turn, turn up silently along the rope.
After returning to the cave, Duan Ling untied the rope and Wu Du whispered, "Okay, let's go."
Bian Lingbai exclaimed, Duan Ling wanted to look out again, but was dragged back by Wu Du.
"He's still alive." Duan Ling said.
"Not busy." Wu Du said, "I'll die soon."
The two went out along the cave, and Wu Du found Dang Xiang's guard and told Helianbo to go back to Tongguan Mansion.
A lieutenant is speaking to Feihongde.
"Mr. Fei!"
"Come back?!" Fei Hongde smiled.
"Where's my uncle?" Duan Ling asked.
"It's inside." The deputy general surnamed Wang said, "I only went in a quarter of an hour ago, eh? Wu Du?"
Wu Du had followed Zhao Kui, and Bian Lingbai's subordinates had also seen him. He was still indifferent, but nodded slightly.
"Come back so soon?" Vice Admiral Wang asked.
"Wu Du made a trip to Xichuan for my uncle to do some errands." Duan Ling got off his horse and said, "I met him on the road, and when things were done, we came together."
