Hearing the noise, Su Li turned around and glanced at Luo Yichen, gently wiped the blood stains on the two daggers on the gray-robed old man's chest, and then took them back.
Luo Yichen put down Wu Yun and walked to Su Li to look at the old man in gray robe, but due to his limited knowledge, he couldn't see why.
"Did you see anyone else along the way?"
After handling the body of the old man in gray robe, Su Li turned around and asked.
Seeing Su Li's skillful and understated movements, Luo Yichen was slightly frightened and quickly shook his head, "No."
Su Li's expression flashed with understanding, and she became more thoughtful.
She originally thought that Wu Yun was the initiator of the theft of official silver in Qinghe City, but now that she saw the old man in gray robe, she suddenly realized that the matter was not as simple as she imagined. It was very likely that Wu Yun was just a puppet and the Blood Refining Sect was the real mastermind.
"Trouble."
Su Li frowned, confronting the forces in the martial arts world so early was a situation she absolutely did not want to see. The fledgling force of Liliju was like a baby that had just learned to crawl in front of the Corpse Refining Sect, without the slightest ability to compete.
Thinking of this, Su Li got up and walked towards the wooden house. Although the old man in gray robe had set up some small traps, it was hard to accommodate the experienced Su Li. After searching the wooden house carefully, Su Li found only a few letters between the old man in gray robe and Wu Yun. Secret message, no clues.
Soon, the wooden house burst into flames.
Su Li held the torch, her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Luo Yichen held Wu Yun under his arm with one hand and stood aside. He wanted to urge Su Li to hurry up several times, but he swallowed his words again.
Looking at the fire, with Su Li's intelligence, it was not difficult to think that Yan Shixun and the others were almost there, and it would be too late if they didn't leave!
Just as he was thinking this, there was suddenly a rustling in the forest, and two young figures emerged, it was Qu Qingning and Fang Yuan. Seeing that Su Li and Wu Yun were safe and that Wu Yun had been caught, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"The markers along the way were destroyed?"
Su Li asked suddenly, but Qu Qingning chuckled, "That's natural, we still have to be vigilant."
Luo Yichen's Wen Sheng blushed suddenly and secretly felt ashamed. His background meant that he could not be as careful as Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning. He had never thought about the markings on the road during this pursuit.
"Fang Yuan, you and Qu Qingning take Wu Yun and leave secretly. Don't alert Yan Shixun."
Su Li's expression was indifferent, but his tone was a little urgent. He pointed to another path that could not be walked by horses and signaled Fang Yuan and the others to leave quickly. Then he picked up the claw knife that had fallen on the ground and was not melted, and gave his left arm a hard blow. pull!
"Pfft!"
A bloody gash appeared on the outside of his right arm, from the wrist to the shoulder, deep and long!
The sound of blood splashing made the three teenagers' eyebrows jump, and their hearts trembled. Even if they were pretending to be injured, there was no need to be so cruel, right? Such a big hole can almost peel off the skin!
The severe pain stimulated Su Li to frown slightly. Seeing that Fang Yuan and the others were not leaving, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
Fang Yuan woke up immediately, took Luo Yichen, Wu Yun and Qu Qingning disappeared down the path. The moment he and Luo Yichen were in contact, his lips moved, but no sound came out.
"Take care of her."
Luo Yichen was surprised when he suddenly received a message from Fang Yuan, and immediately laughed out loud. It turned out that this piece of wood was actually interesting to Su Li
"Luo Yichen, when you carry me to meet Yan Shixun later, you will say this..."
Su Li threw the claw knife into the sea of fire and destroyed it, and gave some more instructions. Then, under Luo Yichen's shocked eyes, he swallowed a ball of white powder and fell softly into his arms.
"No wonder I have to carry it on my back..."
Luo Yichen was still wondering just now. Considering the injury on Su Li's right hand, he only had to hold it. How could he be so delicate that he had to carry it on his back? It turned out that he was ready to swallow the cartilage powder.
Such a large portion is enough to make an ordinary person sleep for a day and a night, and even an innate master will be unable to move his hands and feet for a moment. Is she really not afraid of what she will do when she takes the opportunity? !
Taking a deep breath, Luo Yichen didn't forget to briefly bandage Su Li's arm, then carried Su Li on his back and walked back, muttering in a low voice: "The situation forces it, this is not a betrayal of Ruohan..."
Su Li lowered her head feebly, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. By arranging this, she really wanted to create the illusion that the death of the elder of the Corpse Refining Sect had nothing to do with Qinghe City, but she was taking the opportunity to test Luo Yichen.
Fortunately, Luo Yichen did not disappoint her.
Luo Yichen carried Su Li for a while and finally saw the elite soldiers looking for the two of them in the mountains and forests. He took the initiative to show up. The elite soldiers looked overjoyed and immediately shouted:
"Sir, come quickly, we have found Miss Su Li!"
The transmission speed was very fast. In less than half a cup of tea, Yan Shixun appeared in front of Luo Yichen. Seeing the blood on the two people's bodies, his expression suddenly changed. He stepped forward to check Su Li's breath and learned that the latter was still alive. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
"Thank you so much, Protector Chen, for saving me! Without further ado, we'd better send Su Li to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. We'll talk about other things later!"
Luo Yichen nodded, "It should be so."
After a busy night, the Sheriff's Mansion.
The old doctor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Su's injury this time is much lighter than last time. It's just that he lost too much blood and a large dose of drug took effect in his body. He still won't wake up for a while. But these are all trivial matters, I will prescribe a prescription to help Master Su recover."
Yan Shixun was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, old man. Please come over here!"
Yan Shixun led the doctor away. Yan Hongxiu looked at Su Li who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face pale, her eyes were red. Last time Su Li was injured for nothing because of the Jin family, and this time she got a long and painful gash for helping them. Such an obvious position, What should I do if I get scars in the future...
After Yan Shixun sent the doctor away, the smile on his face disappeared, and he returned to his serious look and came to the front hall. Luo Yichen, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately stood up and asked with feigned concern: "Is that lady okay?"
Yan Shixun smiled in pain, "Protector Chen is as kind as Mr. Li. The lady is fine. Protector Chen, please excuse me for waiting. Can you tell me what happened last night?"
Luo Yichen couldn't help but feel weird after being praised for his kindness, but on the surface he still followed Su Li's instructions with a serious face and said: "Last night, I noticed something was wrong and pursued him with all my strength, but it was still a step too late..."
Yan Shixun's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. In Luo Yichen's words, Su Li became a lamb to be slaughtered. He was fed an unknown drug and his whole body was limp. Then, a man in black robes was slowly cutting open his arm with a claw knife. He immediately went up to stop him, but was unable to leave the man in black robe. Considering Su Li's injury, he went back the same way.
It can be said that except for saving Su Li, Luo Yichen did not make any discoveries that were helpful to the case.
Yan Shixun did not suspect Luo Yichen of lying, because Linliju had no need to conceal any information. His Yan family and Linliju were in the same boat now.
"That's all. It's a great blessing that Master Su can save his life." Yan Shixun smiled bitterly, "The Gong family... is indeed a Yunjing family, and I am willing to be inferior."
"Master Yan, there is no need to belittle yourself."
Luo Yichen's eyes flashed and his voice lowered, "Although with my eyesight, I can't tell where the escaped men in black came from, but those people are probably from the martial arts world, not Mrs. Wu Yun's subordinates. I'm afraid I can make a specific guess. I need my husband to make a clear distinction before I can explain it clearly to you."
Yan Shixun's expression changed drastically, and he was horrified, "The forces in the martial arts world?! How is it possible? How could our Yan family get into trouble with such behemoths?"
Luo Yichen didn't say much. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I've said everything I need to say. If Lord Yan wants to know more, you might as well wait until Miss Su wakes up and bring her to Liliju, so that she can My husband has deduced something more."
After hearing this, Yan Shixun came to his senses and quickly stood up and thanked him: "Dragon Protector Chen, thank you so much for this time! I will never thank you for your kindness. I will definitely pay Su Li a visit next time when he wakes up."
After one night, Su Li opened her eyes quietly, which naturally made many people who were concerned about her safety breathe a sigh of relief.
Yan Shixun hurried over, with a guilty look on his face and a bit of hesitation. He wanted to take Su Li to Linli Residence immediately, but looking at Su Li's tightly wrapped left arm, he found it difficult to say anything.
A weak smile appeared on Su Li's face, and he chuckled: "Judy Yan, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Although Su Li was frightened this time, it was not serious. Hongxiu had just told me that Guanyin's The matter has not been resolved yet, so if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to do so."
Hearing this, Yan Shixun made a calculation in his mind and turned to glare at Yan Hongxiu who was guarding the bedside. Yan Hongxiu lowered his head in embarrassment. It was Su Li who asked her, could she not say it? She couldn't hide it.
Looking at Su Li's pleading eyes, Yan Shixun lamented, "Girl Su Li, my Yan family can't forgive you, and I can't forgive your Su family. You have just woken up now, but I want to take you to a place immediately. "
…
After two cups of tea, Su Li stood in front of Linliju with her left arm hanging, feeling a bit novel in her heart. This was the first time she came here as Su Li.
Yin Xuetong, who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, saw Yan Shixun and Su Li. She immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "You two, my husband has been waiting on the top floor for a long time."
Saying that, Yin Xuetong stepped aside and extended her hand to guide her.
Yan Shixun said "Thank you" and then pulled Su Li upstairs together. Arriving at the attic on the top floor, Yan Shixun found that there was a thick gauze in the open space in front of the desk. A woman could be vaguely seen sitting inside, and two expressionless young men stood on both sides of the gauze. , as if he were at a loss for a stranger.
"Sir Yan, the little girl has been performing her duties recently in a very important place. It is not suitable to see people who affect her mood. If it were not for what Protector Chen said, I would not forcefully leave the seclusion. Let's talk like this today."
A familiar voice came from the gauze tent, and Yan Shixun felt at ease. It was taboo to ask about other people's cultivation. He directly skipped the clasping of fists and said: "I must comply with your request, but sir, do you have any thoughts on what Protector Ye Chen said last night? "
"Giggle... I was just guessing at first, but seeing the girl's face, I was sure which mouse was responsible."
There was a chuckle in the gauze tent, but Yan Shixun heard a thump in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it? Sir, please tell me clearly!"
"This girl's face is pale, seemingly due to excessive blood loss. But if you look carefully, you can see that her eyebrows are blue and her temples are red. She has been given cartilage powder. Cartilage powder is not a general drug, even for congenital diseases. The environment also has an effect and is worth a lot of money. There are not many powerful people who can pour cartilage powder into a little girl regardless of the weight."
With the analysis of each sentence from the voice inside the gauze tent, the truth seemed to be peeled off and gradually became clear. Yan Shixun's face became more and more ugly, and at the same time he felt faintly relaxed.
"Judy Yan, is the wound on this girl's left arm extremely deep and long, and is it extremely smooth from top to bottom?"
Yan Shixun nodded immediately after hearing this, "Mr. Li's description is extremely accurate, as if he saw it with his own eyes."
Qu Qingning, who was standing next to the gauze tent and had changed his appearance, couldn't help but frown secretly when he heard this. Not only did he see it with his own eyes, he even cut the wound himself. How could it be inaccurate
"That's right. Use cartilage powder to paralyze the whole body, then peel off the skin and flesh to make a living dead puppet. This is the technique of the Corpse Refining Sect. Most of the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect are interested in this girl's appearance and want to make her into a human being. Just stay with me and enjoy it..."
The tone in the gauze tent was understated, but it made everyone present feel numb. Corpse Refining Sect, just from the sound of it, you can tell that this sect is definitely not a famous and decent sect.
"Corpse Refining Sect..."
Yan Shixun looked ugly, and finally sighed, stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "Wu Yun has also disappeared without a trace. The official bank matter is difficult to solve. Sir, please give me some advice on how to break the situation?"
"hehe… "
A chuckle came from the gauze tent, "Master Yan, why do you ask questions knowingly? This matter is beyond your ability. Plus, with this little girl as evidence, it will be easy to get away."
