All the voices stopped abruptly at this moment.
Baofu, I swore at the time that from now on, this life will belong to the young lady, only to live for the young lady, and to die for the young lady.
But at this moment, I didn't protect Miss, but you shouldn't blame me, Miss.
When the news of the death of the old man and his wife came, you muttered to yourself, saying what is life and what is death.
I didn't understand it at the time, but now, I seem to understand a little bit, but I still don't seem to understand it.
Miss, please don't be sad, but be proud of me.
Miss, I hope you will be happy and prosperous in the future.
The moment Ji Yunxi arrived, Baofu closed his eyes.
The last four swordsmen escaped smoothly.
Xuezhu, who had never lost a head before, suddenly dangled the iron sword in front of him, and his feet remained motionless.
He stared blankly at Baofu.
The sword was swung extremely fiercely, and the back was almost split in two.
The blood flowed down, dyeing Qiuyu's body below red.
Qiu Yu's eyes were red, her hands were trembling, she wanted to hug Bao Fu, but she was afraid of hurting her.
I want to stop the bleeding for Baofu, but I don't know where to start.
There is too much blood.
Too much is too much.
Qiuyu got up from under Baofu, supported Baofu with both hands, looked at the blood on her back, and grinned and cried.
Tears and snot mixed with blood all over her parched face.
Ji Yunxi and his party rushed there.
Ji Mingyan looked at the injury on Baofu's back, instead of clamoring for a bandage as before, he looked at Xuezhu.
Xuezhu's dressing for trauma is the best among them.
Therefore, the prince's arrow wound was handed over to Xuezhu to deal with.
Xuezhu shook his head seriously.
This is already, it's useless.
Ji Mingyan raised his head high, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Ji Yunxi with some worry.
Unlike everyone with red eyes, Ji Yunxi's face never showed much expression.
She pursed her lips tightly, took off her coat, and gently covered Baofu's body.
Soon, the blood stained the smoky blue dress.
Ji Yunxi didn't seem to see it, she bent down and reached out to hug Baofu.
But she couldn't hold it anymore.
Ji Mingyan wanted to come up to help, but Ji Yunxi shook her head.
She looked at the entrance of the cave, it was Wanxiang who ran back.
Wanxiang, holding a sword in one hand, approached with three steps and two steps.
Ji Yunxi stood up and said, "Wanxiang, hold Baofu in your arms."
She murmured to herself, "I can't hold it anymore."
Wanxiang threw the sword aside, bit her lips, and bit her blood.
She stretched out her hand, lightly picked Baofu up, and followed Ji Yunxi towards the outside of the cave.
The prince was sitting at the entrance of the cave.
This is the most embarrassing day for the prince in this life.
But in the future, even if the prince ascends the throne as an emperor, even if he is lying on the dragon bed in his twilight years, he will remember the day.
It always reminded him of what he should and should do as a king.
"Your Highness." Ji Yunxi said softly, "Umbrella."
The prince handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi took it, opened it, lifted it to the top of Wanxiang's head, and covered Wanxiang and the treasure in Wanxiang's arms under the umbrella.
The rain fell drop by drop, wet Ji Yunxi's hair and Ji Yunxi's eyebrows.
The three masters and servants drifted away in the rain.
*
The head of the Beishan Sword Sect was finally surrounded by Wu Weian, Ji Mingshuang, Ji Minghao, and Yuan Guanshi.
The head's sharp eyes looked straight at Wu Weian.
He finally understood why the sage asked him to bring eight elders to Qinghe County in person, and why he had to be careful about Wu Weian.
This Wu Weian is only eighteen this year, but this temperament makes the head of Beishan sigh.
He played Wu Weian to wander among several people. Most people couldn't hold it for so long, but Wu Weian was always calm.
People who can keep calm all the time are the most terrifying.
In the end, the head of Beishan spent most of his energy, took a step slower, and was stopped by Wu Weian.
Seeing the opportunity, the other three arrived tacitly and surrounded the head of Beishan.
The head of Beishan smiled, but he was not afraid: "Aren't the little friends curious why I am the only one here?"
As he spoke, he also deliberately looked at the mine above.
Brothers Ji Mingshuang and Ji Minghao looked at each other.
There are people in the mine.
Although there were guards from the Ji family, but only a few people were arranged at the entrance of the cave. The other Ji family members were busy removing obstacles and checking whether there were any surviving civilians.
What if there was a hidden swordsman among the rescued people
In the mine, there is the prince, Ji Yunxi, and Ji Mingyan.
Ji Mingshuang thought about it carefully, and even stopped breathing for a while.
With a hoarse voice and anger on his face, he pointed his sword at the head of Beishan: "What do you mean!"
The head of Beishan smiled: "Don't you hurry up and have a look, little friend? It's too late, I'm afraid I will collect the corpses for the prince and your siblings."
Hearing these words, Ji Ming's heart was in turmoil, even as calm as Ji Minghao, his hand holding the sword tightened.
Wu Weian didn't stop, he turned around with the sword and flew back, his face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were all cracked, and they were all anxious.
Ji Minghao looked at Wu Weian who left suddenly, frowned, but didn't say anything, he picked up the sword and was about to face the head of Beishan.
It is an obvious fact that he is not the opponent of the head of Beishan.
But this is not the reason for Ji Minghao to avoid him, he is a general.
General, the general of an army.
He hides, the army behind him, what should we do
What will happen to the civilians after the army
Brother-in-law and Ji Mingshuang can turn around and leave for the safety of the six brothers and three sisters above, but he alone cannot.
When the Ji family army near Ji Minghao saw this, they rowed a boat and came with arrows.
Arrows shot at the head of Beishan in midair.
The head of Beishan smiled and waved lightly.
The arrows of these ordinary soldiers, to him, are not worth mentioning.
The head of Beishan stepped forward with a sword, splitting Ji Minghao's sword.
Ji Minghao dodged back, and then raised his sword again.
But the first goal of the head of Beishan was not Ji Minghao.
The one who is most afraid of the head of Beishan here is Wu Weian.
As long as Wu Weian was dead, it would be easy to take the lives of Ji Minghao and others.
The lack of physical strength of the head of Beishan just now is just an illusion. He no longer hides his strength, gallops under his feet, uses up what he has learned in his life, and goes behind Wu Weian with a sword!
Wu Wei's heart was in disarray, his body froze slightly, he took a half-step slow, did not dodge completely, and his left shoulder resisted the sword.
The head of Beishan smiled coldly, bullied himself, and took Wu Weian's head with his second sword.
With a puff, the sword entered the flesh.
So slight, yet so clear.
The head of Beishan widened his eyes and looked at Wu Weian who turned back in disbelief.
On Wu Weian's face, where is the anxious look just now.
The facial features that are as light as water are all cold.
The head of Beishan wanted to hide, but it was too late.
He was too close to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian held the sword with five fingers, and his wrist was hard, pushing it up.
The sword cut through the internal organs of the head of Beishan, and abruptly split open the head of the head of Beishan from the position of the heart.
The body of the head of Beishan was almost cut in half, and only the lower body was still glued together.
The tattered corpses were smashed into the surging flood.
Wu Weian didn't even look at it, he said to Ji Mingshuang and Ji Minghao who rushed over: "I'll go back first, I'll trouble the second brother here."
Everything is in Wu Weian's plan, the head of Beishan is just below to restrain him, their real goals are the prince and Ji Yunxi.
Therefore, Wu Weian had arranged people before, his six people plus her own six people, and Xuezhu Wanxiang were enough.
The target of the sage is him, the crown prince, Ji Yunxi, Ji Mingyan, Ji Mingshuang, and Ji Minghao.
Wu Weian took care of the safety of these people. He protected Ji Mingshuang Ji Minghao below, and the others protected the prince Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingyan.
But only Baofu is not within the goal of the saint, not within the goal of the Beishan Sword Sect, nor within the goal of Wu Weian.
By the way, Baofu will be fine.
No one will harm her. She has been reminded by Wanxiang over the years, and she has no problem avoiding danger in the crowd.
Baofu can indeed dodge.
But Baofu, who escaped, turned back.
Ordinary people who can't even play chess have their own righteousness and courage.
Baofu's death was unexpected.
*
Ji Yunxi asked Wanxiang to put Baofu on the carriage.
Everything in the carriage was arranged by Baofu himself.
Even the soft blankets were made by Baofu himself.
Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand and put the quilt over Baofu's body, pulling it up inch by inch until it covered Baofu's face.
Wanxiang sat on the ground and looked at Baofu like that.
Tears fell drop by drop, Wan Xiang reached out and wiped it again, but she couldn't finish it.
Learning martial arts is hard, tiring and bitter, but Wanxiang has never cried.
Seeing this, Ji Yunxi rubbed Wanxiang's head.
Wanxiang raised her head, looked at Ji Yunxi, and finally couldn't help crying: "Miss... Baofu told me a few days ago that she said she wanted to go to the capital and wanted to eat Tang Hu's candied fruit. Baofu said that the candied haws are the sweetest and most delicious made at Tang Hu’s house…”
Ji Yunxi gently held Baofu's exposed hand, listening to Wanxiang sobbing and babbling, but said nothing.
In the end, Wanxiang dried up her tears and her voice was hoarse.
Ji Yunxi put Baofu's hand into the quilt, and said softly: "Today in the mine, many people will remember her. Not because she is my maid, but because that is her."
"Let's go." Ji Yunxi stood up, "Many people are injured and need help."
She lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the car, and went back to the mine.
The time spent in the carriage was not very long.
But in such a short time, the mine seemed to have changed.
The victims were divided into two groups.
One of them is on the outside, and the other is on the inside.
The outer and inner circumferences are slightly staggered by some gaps.
Someone in the inner circle was clamoring: "I'm definitely not from Qinghe County! I was visiting relatives and passing by, and I stopped here. Unfortunately, I encountered a flood! Why should I stay here?!"
Not long ago, someone suggested that in order to prevent thieves from mixing in with them and harming others, they should distinguish Qinghe County from outsiders.
People from Qinghe County are on the outside, and outsiders are on the inside.
The outside surrounds the inside. If there are still thieves appearing, the outside can stop one!
They were in Qinghe County, and between the ten miles and eight townships, chatting and chatting, they were able to reach some connections.
Moreover, Qinghe County also has their unique local accent, which can be distinguished with a few words.
But foreigners don't do it anymore.
Thinking that there are thieves among them, so close to the thieves, who is not afraid
Aunt Gui listened to the clamor of the crowd. Without saying a word, she dragged her legs to stand up, limped into the inner circle, and sat down.
Seeing this, everyone kept silent.
In the attack just now, more than 20 people were killed and 80 to 90 people were injured.
The bodies of more than 20 people who died were placed in a corner and covered with various clothes.
Xuezhu, Du Niangzi, Ji Mingyan, and Ji Yunxi's other maidservants with red eyes bandaged the wounds of the injured people in the crowd just now.
Ji Mingyan used a lot of patience and caution. Although it was slow, the pain of the wound was greatly reduced.
Wu Weian walked over.
When the three saw the injury on his left shoulder, they subconsciously stood up.
Wu Weian looked at the poisonous lady and Ji Mingyan: "How?"
The poisonous lady hurriedly said: "I have already sprinkled soul chasing powder."
Ji Mingyan took out a porcelain vase from his arms: "Chasing soul bug."
Wu Weian took it and threw it to Xuezhu: "Go and see, don't be alarmed, come back when you see where their lair is."
Xuezhu: "Okay."
He grabbed the Soul Chaser and left in a hurry.
Ji Mingyan looked at Wu Weian's injury: "Brother-in-law, do you want me to bandage you?"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "I shouldn't hurt the wound this time."
Wu Weian: "No, you are busy."
After saying these words, he turned and left, walking towards Ji Yunxi who was standing at the entrance of the cave.
The inner circumference is like half concentric circles.
Ji Yunxi retracted his gaze and landed on Wu Weian's left shoulder.
Ji Yunxi: "Are you okay?"
Wu Weian: "It's okay."
Wu Weian: "How about you?"
Ji Yunxi: "I'm fine too."
The two were silent for a moment, and Ji Yunxi said, "Can I help you bandage?"
Wu Weian said softly: "Okay."
Wu Weian found a place and sat down. Ji Yunxi took scissors and cut the cloth around the wound on his left shoulder.
To stop the bleeding, sprinkle with medicinal powder and wrap it with a cloth tape.
Wu Wei watched quietly.
She is skilled, as if she has done it countless times, and her method of wrapping the belt is different from others.
Wu Weian asked, "Why do you do this?"
Ji Yunxi: "I did."
Wu Weian: "Why do you learn?"
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment, her eyes were slightly lost, and she remembered some past events: "Because of need."
She didn't say much, looked at the direction Xuezhu had just left, and asked, "Can you find it?"
Wu Weian pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, that person is very careful."
Twenty-three years ago, the emperor was able to win the succession and stir up the situation in the capital, how could he be a simple generation.
Either the emperor does not make a move, as long as he makes a move, it must be a killer move.
What Wu Weian can think of, the emperor can also think of.
*
It was late at night, and today the Beishan Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, and the leader died tragically under the sword of Wu Weian.
The swordsman hiding below received an order to avoid the limelight before taking a long-term plan.
They came ashore in the dark, flew between the cliffs, turned around, and headed for the depths of the distant mountains.
There was a low voice of conversation, ringing in the mountains and forests at night.
"You think too much again, you should know our mission."
"But those people..."
"We're just executing the orders, all this has nothing to do with you and me. Even if there is an underworld after death, the account will be placed on the heads of those in charge. We are also here to live, what's wrong?! Don't think about it, What's the benefit of thinking too much? Just change your clothes."
Several swordsmen stopped in a small cave, took off their clothes, changed into new clothes, and sprayed them with medicinal powder to prevent being tracked.
That Ji Mingyan is best at poisons such as soul chasing insects.
Therefore, during this trip, they take detoxification pills from their hair every day, and they must change their outfits when entering and leaving.
One of them, the one who was said to be 'thinking too much', subconsciously glanced aside when he took out his new clothes.
It was the old clothes that were put away.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was even darker in the small cave. Somehow, the man took a piece of old clothes from a pile of old clothes.
He didn't know if there was anything on it.
Maybe there is, maybe not.
He didn't know what he was doing either.
But he only did it once.
It's life or death, just look at it this time.
The man put on his clothes, and several people left the cave, stepped into the rain, and continued to fly forward.
The rain is still falling, and the new dry clothes and the old wet clothes are all wet, so there is no way to tell the old from the new.
Several people silently came to the cave hidden in the deep forest.
The cave here was carefully selected by them first, hidden deep enough, and there are openings on all sides for easy escape.
The atmosphere was very dignified tonight.
The sect master died tragically, and all eight elders were injured.
There are more than 1,000 disciples of the Beishan Sword Sect, and most of them have come this time.
But in just a few days, they also suffered heavy casualties, leaving only the last two or three hundred people.
Elder Xie took charge of the order on his behalf, and together with the other seven elders, he continued to conspire.
He tasted the benefits in the daytime, and his eyes were full of viciousness: "The first lord ordered us not to do anything to the people, but in my opinion, if you want to kill the Ji Wu family and go directly to them, it's not good for us! The maid died just now. Can you see it? We were too kind-hearted before and suffered heavy losses! From tomorrow onwards, we will attack the people and their servant girls. Look at it, the Ji family will definitely come to the rescue. We take the opportunity to kill! When necessary, we can even drag the people as shields!"
The other elders hesitated slightly: "Is there an order from the Lord?"
Elder Xie said: "It's okay, the Lord won't blame it."
The eight discussed carefully for a while, and after making plans for tomorrow, they lay in the corner to rest and recover.
It was late at night, and the rain was still falling, as if it would never end.
The wind whistled, and lightning flashed.
A flash of lightning suddenly fell, and the tree in front of the cave was hit and fell to the ground, making a sound.
The drowsy cave guard suddenly woke up and looked there.
Under the electric light, he saw the person standing under the tree.
Many people, countless people.
Densely packed, I do not know when to hide behind a tree.
They quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave, shrinking the encircling circle, and then encircling the entire cave tightly!
Wu Weian, Ji Minghao, Ji Mingshuang, Wanxiang, Du Niangzi, Xuezhu, and Yuan Guanshi stood in a corner respectively, standing in front of Ji's army, their faces were cold like a rainy night, like a ghost temple.
There was someone in the cave who hadn't slept, and when the caveman shouted, he was the first to stand up.
A soul chasing worm, held in his palm all the time, died for several hours.
He released his palm, and the Soul Chasing Insect fell to the ground.
He raised his sword, stepped on the soul chasing worm, and rushed out of the cave, taking the life of a Ji family soldier, and was also stabbed in the chest by the other side.
He fell to the ground, tilted his head and looked around.
In this cave, there are masters who hold his hand to teach him swordsmanship, and brothers who practice swords with him.
He didn't even know if he was right or wrong.
He closed his eyes, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down, which were instantly washed away by the rain.
No one knows who he is, no one knows what he does-
In the distant Shangjing, it is also raining tonight.
Many people have different feelings and have trouble falling asleep.
In the harem, the queen sat by the window, looking at the rain outside.
For twenty-three years, she guarded the position of the queen, and spent her whole day doing her best for her Li family and the crown prince.
It was still difficult to sleep at night. She sat in front of this window and watched the night, the sunrise, and the wind and rain for many years.
From full black hair to half white hair now.
The most wonderful half of her life was wasted in this small harem.
If she could come back, that day, she would not go out even if she died.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, reading the memorial.
The incense burnt quietly in the incense burner, and he was slightly absent-minded, thinking of Concubine Zhen and the Fifth Prince.
…
Outside the palace, Ji Mansion.
Ji Mingxi didn't sleep either.
Ji Mingxi's sleep has always been good.
But tonight, for some reason, it is difficult to fall asleep, maybe the cup of tea before going to bed is a little thicker.
He simply stood up, put on his coat, took an oil-paper umbrella, and took a walk in the rain.
Ji Mingxi first passed by the gate of his second brother Ji Minghao's courtyard.
No one has lived in this yard for more than two years. Ming Hao has been in the army and only returns home every few years. After staying for a few days, he leaves in a hurry.
Even during the few days at home, I was away from home every day and was busy delivering...
Ji Mingxi let out a long sigh and continued to walk forward.
It is the yard of the fifth younger brother. The fifth younger brother, Ming Yuan, was not good at talking to others since he was a child.
Ming Yan.
Ji Mingxi looked at Ji Mingyan's yard. These six disciples were the most outgoing, very big-hearted, and they liked strange things. His parents were most worried about him during his lifetime.
As for Ming Shuang, she is meticulous, she thinks too much, she thinks too much, and she always works very hard.
If Ming Shuang and Ming Yan's temperaments were neutralized, it would be better.
In the end, Ji Mingxi stopped outside Ji Yunxi's yard.
Yun Niang doesn't need anyone to worry.
But it was also the most distressing to Ji Mingxi.
Yun Niang has been sensible and precocious since she was a child, and she sees things thoroughly.
Sometimes Ji Mingxi looked at Yunniang's eyes and thought, why such a small child is so cold and alienated at home when everyone is hurting him.
Wisdom will be hurt.
Is this the price of early wisdom
But in the world, sometimes it is not good to see too clearly.
And can you really see through it
Ji Mingxi let out another sigh, walked around the Ji residence for more than half of the time, and returned to the study.
Jifu, which was so lively in the past, is so deserted these days.
Ji Mingxi asked the servants to make a cup of tea, sat in front of the desk, grinded it, picked up a pen, and copied the Buddhist scriptures stroke by stroke.
What he and the scholar said were true. Ji Ming liked to copy Buddhist scriptures, all to pray for the blessings of his younger brothers and sisters.
Pray for them to be safe outside, and pray for their success.
As the eldest brother, he is not so capable, so he can only stay here in Shangjing, in this empty Jifu, praying for his brothers and sisters outside.
