Chapter 50: The People Behind the Scenes

Dou Yueshan's brows were tightly squeezed together and said unhappy, "Once upon the time, it was the past, now, if you cover your face, no one will see you, so follow me to the clinic."

"Zhi Zi said, I know you are worried about my injury, but the overall situation is important." Ning Nan's struggled, making Dou Yueshan unable to move forward.

After a long time, Dou Yueshan could only say helplessly, "Forget it, I really can't convince you." He sighed, found a canopy in the corner of the street, and gently lowered Ning Nanyou, who had a blood-colored face.

He stared at the deep scar behind Ning Nanyou, his eyes filled with worry, and he felt very uncomfortable, "Ning Zhaoyuan, can you protect yourself first in the future and then protect others?"

He couldn't help but curse, and then he was about to pull his middle coat into a cloth strip to bandage him. Ning Nanyou hurriedly held it, endured the severe pain on his shoulders, and slowly smiled, "I'm only wearing a middle coat, tearing it into a cloth strip. What are you wearing? This is on the street, aren't you afraid that others will see it?"

"A gentleman is righteous, and I am a big man and not a woman. So what can I do if I expose my chest? What am I afraid of?" Dou Yueshan looked at him with a strange look on his face.

"Ahem~" Ning Nanyou continued to smile, "Aren't you afraid that others will think you are a broken sleeve?"

Dou Yueshan was stunned for a while, then suddenly blushed and said, "Dirty! Who dares to think like this?"

"Hahaha..." Ning Nanyou stared at his pale face and laughed happily. The more he smiled, the more helpless he became. He patted Dou Yueshan's cold hands, then supported himself, slowly stood up from the ground, leaning against the wall, feeling a little weak.

Dou Yueshan reacted for a while before suddenly realizing that Ning Nanyou was obviously teasing him and was furious. Seeing his pain and laughing, he didn't know what to scold, so he sighed, "If you don't go to the clinic, you don't want me to bandage you. How can you go back to Linyuan if you are injured like this?"

"It's okay." Ning Nanyou clenched his fists tightly, leaned against the wall panel, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then said, "I can hold on. The wind is a good horse. It knows the way, so you don't have to worry."

Dou Yueshan knew that Ning Nanyou was a stubborn temper and did not ask more questions.

"Do you see who is coming to kill you today? Who is coming to save you?" Ning Nanyou gasped, and his right hand went around to cover the wound on his left shoulder and gritted his teeth.

"There is no light in the room, so I can't see clearly." Dou Yueshan looked depressed, and then carefully savored Ning Nanyou's words, widened her eyes and said, "Do you know who they are?"

Ning Nanyou curled his lips and sneered, "Do you see the swords used by these people?"

Dou Yueshan shook her head and said, "I can't even see you clearly. I stand far. What is the mystery of all their swords?"

Ning Nanyou explained, "When I was fighting with these people, I carefully observed their sword edges and sword spines. The surfaces of the swords used by these seven or eight people were quenched with carburizing and blades, making the sword blades hard and sharp. This exercise has a shortcoming. If the sword style is rough during the casting process, the sword spine cannot guarantee toughness. This is a problem that cannot be solved in the white sword forging technique. However, there is a sword-casting craftsman in Luoyang City that has solved this problem in the past two years. The white sword they cast not only can maintain the hardness and sharpness of the sword blades, but also can maintain good toughness in the spine. This forging secret has not been circulated. And this group of craftsmen only obeyed one person."

Dou Yueshan narrowed her eyes and said, "Assign your father?"

Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes and slowly darkened, and said coldly, "The sword technique they used is commonly used by the Dewang Mansion."

"Is it someone sent by Ning Nankun?" Dou Yueshan's frown never spread.

"My third brother... I'm afraid I've been following me these days." He raised his eyebrows, and the dark paint in his eyes was unpredictable.

"Just...why did he come to assassinate me?" Dou Yueshan was puzzled.

Ning Nanyou looked serious and licked his chapped lips and said weakly, "This is exactly the strange thing."

He patted Dou Yueshan's shoulder gently, tried to relieve the dryness of his tongue, and continued, "So, the meeting between you and me cannot be known. Why did Ning Nankun kill you? Only when he continues to act can he show his strength. If he knows that the person who appears by your side tonight is me... he will definitely stop immediately.

In short, remember that the person who appears by your side to protect you is your personal guard. If someone asks you tomorrow, you will say that the guard was seriously injured last night and died of excessive blood loss. You must seek justice for this person. The bigger the matter, the better. It is best to make Nanjun uneasy, let Jingzhou Governor Shang He Kun know about this, and let everyone know that someone is going to kill you. Only in this way can you be safe all the way."

"You're saying this easily? What if the officials asked about guarding the grave?" Dou Yueshan couldn't help laughing and crying.

Ning Nanyou took a few more breaths, adjusted his posture with great difficulty, took out a piece of flat jade from his wide sleeves and handed it to his hands, and said solemnly, "Take this item to find Jiangling Jingshen. Let them find someone from Jiangling death row prison and pretend to be me."

"Don't your elite guards be able to be mobilized at will? And they won't protect others except you? Are they willing to listen to me?" Dou Yueshan muttered.

Ning Nanyou pulled the silk stuck to the wound, grinned in pain, and panted, "The Jingshu Guards are inconvenient to show up. After all, they have to be wary of the emperor's suspicion. I am just an inconspicuous person in the battle for power of the Great Wei Dynasty. I have attracted killers from all over the world because of this Jingshu Guard. How dare they let them come out at will? Although they are inconvenient to come out at will, they dare not ignore my words. They can find a death row prisoner for you to change their clothes."

"So, today you come to protect me, and you don't even know the spirit supervisor?" Dou Yueshan asked again.

Ning Nanyou was really irritated and pulled off the blood-stained silk cloth near the wound. Then he quickly pulled up his sleeves, untied his belt and bandaged his bloody left shoulder. He said tiredly, "If they know that I am here, are you waiting for the people next to you to save us?"

When Dou Yueshan listened to his words, she remembered the group of green-clad guests who rushed into his guest room later, and asked in confusion, "Who was the one who saved us later?"

"People from Water Pavilion." Ning Nanyou answered directly without thinking.

Dou Yueshan said in surprise, "Why are they the people from the Water Pavilion? Are they more willing to see the fight in the Huai Palace than to save me? If I die, you will definitely find out the truth and avenge me."

"I don't know why," Ning Nanyou replied, but he unconsciously remembered Jiang Chengjia's figure.

"After that being said, how do you know that the person who saved us was from the Water Pavilion?" Dou Yueshan noticed something was wrong again, turned her head and glanced at Ning Nanyou up and down, and became puzzled.

Ning Nanyou didn't say anything, looked up at the sky. When it was almost midnight, he gritted his teeth and turned toward the stable behind the inn. His voice was slightly hoarse and trembling, "It's getting late, I should leave. Take care of yourself."

Dou Yueshan ran up and said, "You haven't told me why you think you are from Shui Pavilion so?"

"Zheng said, don't ask more questions." He stopped and looked at Dou Yueshan with deep eyes.

Ning Nanyou's left shoulder could no longer move, but he quickly supported his spirits. Seeing that he refused to say it, Dou Yueshan nodded and responded, "Well, I will listen to you honestly." He took back his questions and accompanied Ning Nanyou toward the stable.

He took the wind out of the stable and handed it to Ning Nanyou. Seeing that he could not twist and was stiff all the time, he sighed at the moment, which was still bleeding from the blood, "Are you sure you can leave alone?"

Ning Nanyou took the reins, tiptoed on his feet, and sat on the horse's back with some difficulty, held the leash with one hand, turned the horse's head around, and said to Dou Yueshan, "You said no need to worry, mother-in-law and mother are annoying. Remember what I said, make this matter a big deal, and then return to Zuo Fengyi safely, stay by Dou Taijun and don't come out again."

Dou Yueshan was about to say something, but Ning Nanyou had already clamped his horse's belly with his legs and rushed out quickly.

Seeing Ning Nanyou's figure getting farther and farther away, Dou Yueshan stood in front of the stable in thin clothes, suddenly noticed a hint of chill, hugged herself, shivered for a while, and walked towards the inn alone.

Ning Nanyou was extremely fast, regardless of the bleeding from the wound on his shoulder, and the severe pain was unbearable, so he rushed back to Linyuan.

When the wind stopped at the east side of Linyuan, the sky gradually became brighter. The wind ran all night and was exhausted as his master, but he still had not stopped and rushed to the inn with Ning Nanyou.
