In this deserted village with only corpses and ruins, E Kun kept watch all night, and the old woman finally passed away with her eyes wide open. Before her death, the old man only left one sentence intermittently: "Sir, in fact, when my uncle was taken away,

I left a message not to let you save her... Young Master, they are powerful, you... can't fight forcefully..."

There has just been a heavy snowfall in Hubei City, which is also the first snowfall this winter. Although the snow on the main street has been swept away, it is piled on both sides of the street. But it is cold at night, and the snow that melted during the day is frozen again.

, whether you are riding a horse or walking, you often slip when you step on it. Pedestrians fall down from time to time.

The wind lantern of Zhoulai Inn was swaying in the cold night wind. It was already late at night, and the bright moon disappeared into the clouds, and then suddenly emerged, illuminating the white snow with a glimmer of light. Yi Gong's figure was dragged by the moonlight.

Long, one foot away, there is another black shadow, following me, never leaving, always following me.

Yi Gong knew what he was talking about, so he turned around and said loudly: "Which brother is it? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Why should you be so arrogant?"

The man behind him was tall and thin. When he saw Yi Gong standing, he also stopped. Because his back was to the moonlight, Yi Gong could not see his face clearly. He seemed to be studying Yi Gong. For a long time, the man suddenly called out.

——"Is it Chief Deacon Yi?"

A smile appeared on Yi Gong's face, he jumped off the horse, walked slowly to the man, his lips trembled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty!"

Yi Gong extinguished the lantern in his hand, took E Kun to a secluded corner, frowned, listened, and made sure that no one was around, then whispered: "Your Majesty, why are you here? E Hou

I've been offering a reward for you! And Madam Yi, I heard... she's been sending people to hunt you down!"

Seeing his anxious expression, which seemed to be sincerely worried about him, E Kun couldn't help but feel a sore feeling in his nose. Thinking that after he fell into despair, it was actually the casual acquaintances like Shuju and Yi Gong who had been helping each other heartily, and his blood relatives, that

But his own father... It's really heartbreaking to think about it. Thinking about all the experiences after the First World War in Tonglushan, E Kun couldn't help but shed tears: "Kun has fallen so low that he has no relatives to turn to, but he has brought humiliation to his savior.

I also hope that General Deacon Yi will help me because there is a business war in Luoyi that day, and we don’t know each other. I am very grateful!"

Yi Gong sighed deeply: "For the sake of the position of heir, the father and son and brothers went to such trouble. It's really... alas! However, since the prince said so, Gong didn't hide it. This time he came to the country of Hubei to transport salt.

I am indeed staying at the Zhoulai Inn, and I also know that the prince is here to find your savior. However, the prince no longer needs to put himself in danger, because Miss Shuju has been rescued by our Nanlin Society."

"Oh? Is it true?" After listening to Yi Gong's words, E Kun was happy, disbelieving, and a little confused: Why did the Nanlin Club rescue Shuju? Is it just for Luoyi's points?

Friendship? This is too far-fetched. Also, could it be that Nanlin Club has been paying attention to me? Is that why they can find out the news about Mrs. Deyi ambushing me? Why are they paying so much attention to me?

Probably sensing E Kun's doubts, Yi Gong said calmly: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. In fact, since the news of the Crown Prince's disappearance came, Nanlin Club has been secretly inquiring about it. Master has an order, but if there is any news about the Crown Prince, he must spread the word."

He knows that because the master is now the prince's tutor and has won the trust of the king of Zhou, and the prince's safety affects the political situation of the country of E, he made many inquiries."

E Kun's mind flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Could it be that among the gangsters who wanted to kill me, the first person whose sword I took away was a subordinate of Nanlin Society?" He felt at that time that this person was a bit strange.

Weird, how can one lose a knife so easily?

Yi Gong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is really smart, and his guess was right. That man is indeed a brother from our Echeng branch. It was only because of the news he sent that we learned where Miss Shuju was really imprisoned."

"What? Aren't you coming to the inn in Zhouzhou?" This time it was E Kun's turn to be surprised.

"Zhou Lai Inn is just a trap they set to ambush you. How could they really lock people here?"

"These beasts!" E Kun gritted his teeth and said bitterly, but suddenly felt confused: "How did you rescue this person? Since they were determined to catch me, they would definitely keep a tight guard on me, so how could they be rescued so easily by you?

"

Yi Gong laughed and said: "It is impossible to attack by force, but must be outwitted. Mrs. Yi lives in a deep palace, and the affairs outside are naturally handled by her uncle Huai Qing. This person is arrogant and arrogant. There are a few secrets among those in high positions.

Just show him a few random things, and he will be so frightened that he hands over his token and lets him go."

E Kun suddenly realized: "Could it be that your Nanlin Society sent a detailed work to his house?"

Yi Gong said "Yeah": "This is the foundation of our Nanlin Society. With it, the official becomes a slave, and he has to do whatever he is asked to do! Otherwise, how could Huai Qing be willing to let go?

people?"

He was still waiting to say more, but E Kun was already impatient: "Sir, don't say any more, it's important to take me to see Sister Shuju!"

"This... I'm afraid I can only take the prince there when the city gate opens at dawn."

"Why? She's not in Hubei City?"

"In a grotto beside Yunmeng Ze, a spiritual mastiff was specially left for protection. It will be no problem."

After finally waiting until daybreak, E Kun disguised himself as a servant, followed the empty salt truck, and left the west city gate with Yi Gong's luxurious carriage. He spent the night at dawn and came to the bank of the vast Yunmeng Lake, where there is a building owned by Yi Gong.

The manor is also a transit station on the salt road. From the outside, it looks ordinary, but in fact it is very mysterious. The most unique thing is that the travel access is secret and convenient, and people, cars, horses and boats can leave the manor from any corner.

Although the back garden pool only has more than ten acres of water, it is three feet deep and leads directly to Yunmengze through a very secret cave culvert. Yigong's canoe has four strong sailors, and the garden cave is as light as a land vehicle without sails.

Entering Yunmeng Lake from a forest of trees and reeds, the canoe puffed up a white sail and used the wind to break through the waves.

About half an hour later, we entered a water mouth. Under the bright moon, there were mountains and forests and canyons, but the mountains on three sides were dark and nothing could be seen at night.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Yi Gong slapped three palms in a row and called Black Mastiff. There was a moment of silence, a slight rustling sound in the trees on the hillside, and a pair of green eyes suddenly flashed on the dark rocks on the shore. Yi Gong

At the command to dock, the boat swung over lightly.

Yi Gong told the sailors to wait where they were, and led E Kun up the mountain path on the shore. The huge and powerful Black Mastiff was crouching in the path with its head held high when he saw the two people coming ashore and turned around and flew out.

Yi Gong lowered his head and said, "Momastiff has gone to report the news, and someone will come to greet us!"

"Your Excellency, you still have some manpower here?" E Kun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"This..." Yi Gong's eyes dodge a little: "Miss Shuju is injured, it's hard to have no one to take care of her!"

E Kun's heart tightened: "Could it be that... they used severe punishment on her?" Seeing that Yi Gong was silent, he must have said too harshly, and he was very angry: "If you have any problem, just come at me! Treat a woman like this.

, these beasts!”

While they were talking, a cave grotto stood vaguely in front of them under the hazy moonlight. A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the entrance of the cave. When the two of them were startled, the black shadow was already crouching at Yi Gong's feet, with a faint green light.

Panting, as motionless as a stone sculpture.

In a moment, a wind lantern was hung at the entrance of the cave, and two women came out Yingying. The leader bowed deeply to Yi Gong: "Master, Sister Shuju just woke up two days ago, and the servants are about to fly to Master."

The pigeon reported that the master came without thinking."

E Kun was impatient and walked inside. Yi Gong waved his hand and told the two girls: "Hold the lantern and lead the way!"

This cave is wide, deep, and irregular. There are various small holes embedded in the mountain on both sides. It is obviously a natural cave that has been artificially repaired. Various decayed wooden barrels can be seen everywhere in the corners of the cave, and there is a faint atmosphere.

It smells like wine but not wine. E Kun guessed that this cave was probably the wine cellar of some prince back then. Such a cave with large and small holes repeatedly interlaced, if it weren't for the supernatural black mastiff sniffing the way, even if Yi Gong came in, he would be at a loss.

.

After walking for a moment, the Black Mastiff looked back and swooped into a small hole on his left. E Kun followed quickly, and under the faint candlelight, he could vaguely see a red shadow on the straw mat in the corner of the hole. When he got closer and took a closer look, he couldn't help but be shocked! A red shadow.

The woman in the skirt huddled up and trembled, with a light yellow bamboo mask on her face, and the temples exposed in her long and messy hair were so white that they were bloodless...

"Sister Shuju!" E Kun exclaimed, leaned down and picked up the woman, then turned around and left. The buzzing voice kept echoing in the cave: "Master Yi, this place is damp and dark, which is not conducive to the patient's recuperation. Can you go back to the village in a boat for treatment?"

"That's the way it should be. Originally, I just wanted to take her back to the village as soon as everything went smoothly."

In the dim light of dawn, the boat flew into the large pond in the back garden of Xinzhuang. E Kun carried his uncle into the courtyard. Because he was worried that the patient's trauma would hinder the protection of men and women and would be inconvenient, he could only entrust Yi Gong to hire a female doctor to take care of her.

The female doctor went into the tent to inspect for more than an hour but did not come out. E Kun stayed in the court uneasy. Only then did he realize his own narrow-mindedness. So what if he was used as a bait by his own father, so what if he was betrayed by his family and country? Why?

Tired to the point where his savior’s life hangs by a thread, and his family is ruined? If he had cheered up earlier, how could he have suffered such a disaster?

"Squeak--" the door opened, and the female doctor came out with a worried look. E Kun hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is the patient's injury?"

The female doctor shook her head solemnly: "This woman was whipped and tortured with several instruments of torture. She had dozens of wounds on her body. As time passed, she now suffered internal and external injuries, new and old wounds overlapped, and pus was all over her body.

, life is at stake, even the ancient miracle doctors can't do anything."

Ekun was so anxious that he groaned and fell down. Read the full content on Aiyue App

Fortunately, it didn't last long, and when I woke up a moment later, the female doctor mused: "The injury is not difficult to cure, but the poison and pus are difficult to eliminate. If you can get three branches of Gelsemium and one branch of poison, you may be able to save it. But these two things are really hard to find.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.

A single dorm?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.

The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
