The two of them hit the edge of the city wall. Huo Feng's big knife slashed beside Yi Zhongren's head, Yi Zhongren avoided it to the side, and Huo Feng's body pressed down, directly pressing Yi Zhongren against the city wall. With his back to the crowd fighting behind him, Huo Feng said in a low voice, "What is your intention?"
"We don't understand what King Yue said."
Yi Zhongren bounced off Huo Feng hard, and the soft sword went straight to Huo Feng's facade. Huo Feng blocked it with a big knife, turned around to avoid another attack by Yi Zhongren, and then pressed Yi Zhongren against the wall.
"Why do you want to untie this king's rope? Why do you want to save this king's son?"
"Is King Yue talking nonsense? If our family is so kind, why should we chase them here. Isn't it Liu Yu who saved King Yue?"
"Fuck! Stop pretending to be confused with this king! Then what do you mean by feeding this king 'Tianxin Dan'?"
Huo Feng was so angry with Yi Zhong that his teeth were tickled, and he even spoke foul language.
Yi Zhongren bounced off Huo Feng again, his sword sharp.
"'Tianxin Dan' is eaten by the emperor, but our family is not able to take the medicine from the emperor's hand. It is just a medicine that will not kill you. After all, our family will use the King of Yue to catch a few big fish, but it's a pity Liu Yu ruined a good thing."
"Yi Zhongren!"
Huo Feng was furious, why didn't this person admit it!
"The King of Yue is probably confused by the sun."
Yi Zhongren's soft sword cut a hole directly on the back of Huo Feng's hand. The hole was not deep, but it was bleeding.
"You hate me." Looking at the wound on his arm, Huo Feng said angrily, sure.
"Our family said that this person in our family is very vengeful, and the King of Yue will not forget how you insulted our family before." Yi Zhongren's sword went straight away again. Suddenly, two arrows on the city wall shot towards Yi Zhong and Huo Feng. The arrow was fast approaching, if Yi Zhongren wanted to dodge, he would probably hurt Huo Feng; if he didn't dodge, he would hurt the vital point. Huo Feng from the front saw the two arrows and reached out to catch Yi Zhongren. Unexpectedly, not only did Yi Zhongren's body not dodge, but the sword in his hand did not stop, and he was still heading towards Huo Feng's heart. Huo Feng instinctively avoided his sword, and then he heard two "puffs", and the two arrows passed through Yi Zhongren's body.
"Yi Zhongren!"
Huo Feng's eyes reddened, he looked up at the shooter, and he ducked to support him. Yi Zhongren, who was shot in the shoulder and arm, kicked him away, and opened a hole in Huo Feng's shoulder with his backhand. The sound of the hoofs came, and the mute who was entangled by Xu Baicai did not know when to get rid of him, and rode his horse towards the injured Yi Zhongren. Yi Zhongren held his breath and flew towards the mute, and when the mute's whip rolled, Yi Zhongren was swept into the horse by him.
"New hatred and old hatred, my lord, I don't owe you any more."
It's me, not our family. Yi Zhongren left a bloodless face to Huo Feng, who was running over, a sword was struck at the horse's butt, and the horse was in pain and ran wildly. Huo Feng grabbed his horse and went to chase, but was stopped by Xu Baicai.
"My lord! Don't chase! Beware of deceit!"
Xu Baicai still didn't quite believe in Yi Zhongren. After such a short delay, Dumb and Yi Zhongren disappeared.
"Bring the bastard who shot the cold arrow to this king!"
Roaring at Xu Baicai, Huo Feng looked at Hu Anwei's men who had been killed in pieces, and gritted his teeth: "Leave a few alive and go back to deliver the letter. Withdraw!"
Huo Feng whipped his horse's butt a few times and ran into the city. Seeing the prince's back in anger, Xu Baicai frowned, then heaved a sigh of relief and issued an order to withdraw the troops. It seems that the prince believes in Yi Zhongren too much, which is very dangerous. That person is both righteous and evil, and it would be better to get rid of it when the prince and the young master are rescued in the future.
Back at the barracks, Huo Feng threw his knife on the ground with force, and thumped the wall a few times in annoyance. The two arrows can be avoided clearly, so why not dodge? Are you afraid of hurting him? Huo Feng didn't want to think so weakly in Yi Zhongren's heart. How could he not dodge the two arrows, and the two arrows were aimed at Yi Zhongren, so why didn't that person dodge!
- "New hatred, old hatred, my lord, I don't owe you any more."
A cold light flashed in Huo Feng's eyes, Yi Zhongren, are you using those two arrows to repay your humiliation to this king
"My lord, someone brought it."
Xu Baicai was outside the door.
Huo Feng's evil fire surged up quickly: "Bring people in!"
Xu Baicai opened the curtain and walked in, followed by two soldiers pressing an archer behind him.
"Who let you shoot the arrow!"
Huo Feng shouted angrily.
The young archer said with hatred: "The Yi Zhongren are demons and the leader of the evil party! Everyone should be punished!"
Huo Feng stepped forward and slapped his face: "What place do you think this place is! Who do you think this king is?! Has this king ordered you to shoot arrows! The military orders are like mountains! What do you think of this king's orders! "
He didn't expect that he would be slapped by the prince, the man was stunned, and then shouted in dissatisfaction: "He is the leader of the evil party! Zhang Zhong's lackey! Prince! Let him go, I don't know how many Zhongliang will die in him. In hand! Did the lord forget how the Zhang family was killed by him!"
Huo Feng's eyes darkened: "Who are you, Prime Minister Zhang?"
The man cried: "I am the servant of Master Zhang, and the sword of the young master. When the master had an accident, the young master knew that his life would not be guaranteed, and sent us close servants out of the capital. I want to avenge the master! Avenge the young master. Avenge the wrongful death of so many people in the Zhang family!"
Huo Feng's fists clenched tightly, Xu Baicai persuaded: "My lord, Yi Zhongren's hands are stained with too many people's blood, and many people in the army are afraid of him. Although this person violates military discipline, he has feelings for him. But, please ask the lord to open up and not hurt the hearts of the soldiers for the sake of Yi Zhongren." Xu Baicai said vaguely, but Huo Feng understood it clearly. This subordinate of his did not believe that person; in other words, even if everyone knew that he was rescued by Yi Zhongren, no one believed that he was a good person. Don't talk about others, just himself, don't he also don't fully believe in Yi Zhongren.
Huo Feng turned around. In his ears, he thought of every word that Yi Zhongren said to him, every ridicule, every look that made him invisible, and the two arrows that penetrated Yi Zhongren's body. That person, why should deny; why should be hurt? Perhaps, missing this opportunity, he will never ask again.
"My lord, the big thing is the most important thing."
Huo Feng's shoulders heaved obviously. After a while, he said: "Take it down, Fifty Soldiers. No matter how righteous your reasons are, disobeying the order can't be taken lightly. Remember, this is in the army, if everyone does it like you do Advocate, what kind of soldiers do my prince bring!"
"Thank you, Lord, for not killing!"
The man kowtowed three times and was taken away by the two soldiers who had brought him in.
"My lord..." Xu Baicai wanted to persuade him a few more words, but was stopped by the raised hand of the lord.
"Order, return to Yidong in an hour."
"… Yes."
Xu Baicai stepped back. Huo Feng slowly put down his hand and looked down at the blood on the armor, which belonged to Yi Zhongren. Wiping it with his fingers, Huo Feng took a deep breath and ordered himself to stop thinking about that person. Xu Baicai was right, big things are the most important thing. Thinking of what he was about to do, or the big thing he had already started, Huo Feng's face was absolutely cold. Brother Huang, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

In a ruined temple not far from Yucheng Pass, the blood was faint. Yi Zhongren sat on the dry grass, and sat dumbly in front of him, using a dagger to cut off the bodies of the two arrows, then cut off his sleeves, and dealt with the arrow on his arm first. Yi Zhongren had already taped the acupoints to stop the bleeding, but even so, there was still blood gushing out of the wound.
Dumb checked the wound and frowned. Yi Zhongren was expressionless, as if he was not the one injured, only the white powder sweat on his forehead betrayed his pain.
"It's a hooked arrow." Mute said, his voice young and calm.
Yi Zhongren closed his eyes, but said, "You are now dumb."
The mute closed his mouth, annoyed in his eyes. His ears moved slightly, and he lowered his voice: "There is no one around."
"Be careful making the Wannian ship."
"..." Mute was silent.
"Whatever arrow he has, just get it out. Clean it up. I'd rather leave scars than pus." Yi Zhongren glanced at the blood-stained arrows in disgust. Dumb glanced at him, as if to say that since he didn't like pus, why didn't he avoid it.
Yi Zhongren sighed and didn't answer, but said, "Things have come to this point... Huaiqiu, I'm tired, very tired. I want to get out."
"As you like." Mute spoke again, his voice low. He took a sip of wine from the jug by his leg, the dagger was roasted on the lit fire, and he said in a low voice, "Hold on."
Then, the roasted red dagger cut open the wound on Yi Zhongren's arm. Yi Zhongren gritted his teeth and held back his face, his face was as pale as paper. The hooked arrow, once shot into the body, will hook firmly to the flesh. Yi Zhongren calculated the part where the arrow pierced his body. The hooked arrow only hooked his flesh, not his bones.
The mute's mouth was tightly pursed, and there was a large sweat on his forehead, almost gouging out a piece of flesh on Yi Zhongren's arm, and he took out the arrow. Yi Zhongren sighed and coughed a few times. Dumb wiped his sweat and asked in a low voice, "Can you hold it back?"
"I can bear it." Yi Zhongren's mouth curled into a sneer, "I have endured even more painful injuries. What's that. Go on."
The mute took the jug to Yi Zhongren, who took two sips of wine and nodded to him. Come on.
Carefully cut open Yi Zhongren's clothes, revealing his injured shoulder, the dumb eyebrows were twisted into a line, and his eyes were full of annoyance. Yi Zhongren was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"It's me who has troubled you."
"How to say?"
Mute observed Yi Zhongren's injury and wanted to relieve his pain as much as possible, and said in his mouth: "The person who shoots the arrow is my former sword servant. He must have done this to avenge the Zhang family."
Yi Zhongren hooked his lips: "It has nothing to do with you. There are many people who want to kill me, not more than one more, not one less than him. Besides, I took this arrow on purpose, and he still helped. I'm busy."
"Why?" Dumb got angry.
Yi Zhongren looked at the sky outside the temple: "I said, I'm tired, I want to get out. I have an injury, I can only speak when I return to the capital, and then I can push everything on Liu Yu, the surrogate ghost. Huaiqiu, I have endured it for fifteen years, and the opportunity is getting closer. When I return to Beijing this time, I must turn him upside down, and then completely stay away from all this. The affairs of this world have nothing to do with me. "
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Think about it."
Dumb put the dagger on the fire again and said, "Just think about it, you know, I've always been on your side."
"Aren't you going to help the King of Yue?" Yi Zhongren raised his eyebrows.
The dumb pouted and shook his head: "I'm tired too. If my father wants to go, let him go."
Yi Zhongren stopped talking, because the dagger in the dumb man's hand moved over.
After that, neither of the two said a word, and Yi Zhongren groaned a few times from time to time, and his dumb face was even uglier than that of Yi Zhongren. With great difficulty, the arrow that penetrated the shoulder blade was pulled out, and Yi Zhongren fainted without any support. Put Yi Zhongren down on his clothes, and the mute bandages Yi Zhongren. Looking at the blood-stained white cloth, looking at Yi Zhongren's face hidden under white makeup all the year round, thinking of what he has gone through by standing beside Yi Zhongren for so many years, Dumb felt that the repayment he had done before was fundamental. Insignificant, he has to do something for Yi Zhongren. Yi Zhongren is not a monster, not a villain.
That night, Yi Zhongren developed a high fever, and Dumb stayed by his side to take care of him overnight. At dawn, Yi Zhongren's fever finally subsided, but instead of looking for a place to recuperate, he asked Dumb to return to the capital with him. After a night of sweating, the makeup on his face was a bit smeared. Dumb asked for water, and Yi Zhongren wiped his face and reapplied his makeup. After putting on makeup and hiding all emotions under the makeup, Yi Zhongren returned to Beijing with the injury and the dumb. One is to Yidong, the other is to the capital. Yizhong and Huo Feng fought at Yuchengguan and parted ways at Yuchengguan.

The king of Yue, Huo Feng, was murdered by the evil party. The two princesses committed suicide. The whereabouts of the prince is unknown. Huo Feng, who escaped from life, called on the world's heroes to rise up in the name of the Qingjun, eradicate the evil party, and restore peace to the world. Huo Feng's call, the people who were oppressed by the evil party, and some local forces responded. It's not that these people who hate the wicked party do not want to overthrow the wicked party, but they lack a leader. Huo Feng is a prince, and he has a lot of soldiers. He also has a certain reputation among the court and the public. Even he was ruined by the evil party and almost died. The people of Nanchu country hated the evil party even more. Huo Feng's army, the people naturally clapped their hands to welcome him.
Eight hundred miles was rushed back to the capital. Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu were angry and anxious, and even more panicked. They only had the soldiers and horses of Huanwei and Yuqinwei in their hands, and even if there were a few generals, the strength of these people's soldiers and horses was definitely not on the same level as that of Huo Feng's. Liu Yu had already been arrested, and he didn't listen to the other party's "unjustly wronged" at all. Zhang Zhong directly asked Liu Yu to be dragged to the torture room. After holding on for less than an hour, Liu Yu was tortured to death. Not only that, but Zhang Zhong, who was mad, killed Liu Yu's family without leaving a single one behind. While Zhang Zhong ordered people to quickly pass on Yi Zhongren back to Beijing, he discussed with Sun Jiyu how to solve the immediate urgent need.
When things got to this point, they could no longer hide from the emperor. Only by taking out the military talismans in the emperor's hand, they could mobilize the capital guards and the remaining soldiers and horses of the Southern Chu Kingdom, but the total amount was only 400,000. Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu felt scared for the first time. There was such a big mistake in what was supposed to be a sure win. If it wasn't for a traitor, how could it have caused such a big trouble! Zhang Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking of that Yi Zhong who was extraordinarily calm and had many ideas no matter what happened, Zhang Zhong hoped that he would come back as soon as possible to solve this urgent need.
