I have a disease, do you have a doctor?

Yao Xue and the two rode for a while, and after a while, they heard a rush of hoofbeats not far behind them.

He knew that the pursuers from Liang Kingdom had arrived, so he slightly raised his hand to signal that Bai Yu and Ji Xi knew it, and immediately divided the army into two groups.

This is the tacit understanding that Yao Xue and his two lieutenants have formed over the years. If they are in a difficult situation, they will split into three groups. It will not be too conspicuous, and it will be convenient to preserve their strength.

Yao Xue saw that Bai Yu and Ji Xi had formed teams, but she didn't move forward immediately, but turned her head to look at him, with a look of hesitation.

Yao Xue waved at them: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you leave soon? The pursuers will arrive soon."

Ji Xi was silent for a while, looked at Yao Xue with complicated emotions, and said, "Will you follow me later?"

Yao Xue was slightly taken aback when he heard that. He looked at Ji Xi, then turned his head to look at Bai Yu, finally averted his gaze, and said in a low voice, "I'll look for you later."

Yao Xue said silently in her heart, in the near future,? He will definitely return to Yong Kingdom with Qiu Chen.

In the end, Ji Xi just nodded slightly, pulled the reins, and Bai Yu led the army away, slowly disappearing from Yao Xue's sight.

Yao Xue watched in silence for a while, listening to the sound of horseshoes behind him from far to near,? He finally turned his horse's head and met Gu Ming's army.

There were originally [-] soldiers in the First Battle of the Northland, but more than half of them were lost due to the war and the rebellion just now. Yao Xue let Ji Xi and Bai Yu take away most of the troops. Now there are not many people left behind.

Gu Ming took the reins, looked at Yao Xue and the small team behind him, and said with a sneer, "You don't have to force it. If you surrender directly, I can spare your life."

Yao Xue smirked when she heard the words, raised her face and glanced at Gu Ming, her eyes had no smile at all, instead they were full of unruly arrogance.

He tilted his head, hooked his fingers towards Gu Ming, and said in a deep voice, "Come."

Seeing that Yao Xue didn't take herself seriously at all, Gu Min immediately became angry from embarrassment, waved the rein, and rushed towards the other party.

……

As Gu Xing's elder brother, although Gu Ming's martial arts are slightly better than Gu Xing's, the moves are not much different after all, and they are all bold and bold.What he used was a long knife, although it had strong explosive power, it also had many flaws.

Yao Xue was quite different. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the discipline at home was not very strict. The moves are very complicated.

When he met an opponent like Gu Min, he actually had an advantage. Although Gu Min was extremely powerful, he was an old nobleman from the Liang Kingdom, and his moves were rigid.Yao Xue figured out his tricks in a short while, and with a little cleverness, finally chopped the man down to the ground.

Yao Xue stepped on Gu Ming's hand, pointed the tip of her sword at Gu Ming's throat, and returned what Gu Ming said just now: "There is still time to surrender now."

Gu Ming's face was bloodstained, he just looked at Yao Xue and smiled grimly.

Although Yong's army was small in number, they were all elite soldiers and strong generals. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses.Many Liang soldiers fled in all directions when they saw the general being captured.

Although Yao Xue was victorious, she was also injured in many places on her body, and her movements affected the old injuries on her back, so she was a little weak at the moment.He frowned, and was about to swing his sword, but Gu Min suddenly exhausted all his strength and threw something towards Yao Xue.

Yao Xue hurriedly turned around to hide, and Gu Ming took this opportunity to fly on the horse, yanked the reins, and fled quickly.

Only then did Yao Xue see clearly that what Gu Ming threw at him just now were actually a few bugs.Those bugs were not big, and their color was bright red, so they were poisonous bugs at a glance.

Yao Xue waved her sword to kill them with some disgust, but she became more and more puzzled in her heart: Why does the Gu family have frequent connections with insects?

Yao Xue thought about it, and finally picked up one and put it in her sleeve.

No matter what, being able to block Liang Guo's pursuers for Ji Xi and Bai Yu made Yao Xue feel a little more at ease.He called the rest of the remnant soldiers forward to catch up with the large army, and he rode back to the National Teacher's Mansion.

It was already dark when Yao Xue returned to the center of Shuo'an City, the closer he was to the National Teacher's Mansion, the more uneasy he felt.

As soon as he got to the door, he quickly got off his horse, opened the door and rushed in.

The house was quiet, Yao Xue could see from a long distance that Qiu Chen's room was pitch black without any light.

His heart gradually became cold, and he was about to turn around and go out when Si Le appeared from nowhere and stopped him.

Seeing Yao Xue covered in blood, Sile didn't sneer at him, but said worriedly: "You bandage it up first."

Yao Xue stood there without moving.His heart was flustered, and his voice trembled: "Where is your master? He... Where is he?"

Si Le shook her head: "Master has not come back."

Hearing this, Yao Xue waved Sile's hand away, turned around and was about to go out again: "No! I have to find him!"

Seeing this, Si Le quickly winked at Qin Luo who was at the side. Qin Luo stepped forward in two or three steps, and also stood in front of Yao Xue, hesitantly said: "My lord..."

Sile took out two silver needles from his cuffs, tapped them on Yao Xue's acupuncture points, and said angrily, "You look like this now, where can you go? What can you do?" He felt Yao Xue's pulse, The mouth became poisonous again: "Could it be possible that you want to force / Gong alone?"

But Yao Xue didn't respond to him at all. He was seriously injured and held down by two people, yet he still wanted to use his internal strength to break through the restraint.

Seeing Yao Xue's restless appearance, Si Le couldn't bear it in the end, so she reluctantly comforted her and said, "I know everything. Since the master asked you to come back and wait, you must be sure in your heart. You just need to Heal your injuries and just stay alive."

He seemed to think of something when he said this, and his voice slowed down a lot: "The master asked me to wait for him before, and he never broke his promise. The master said that there was a person who made an agreement with him to wait for him in a place, but But he failed to keep the promise. He has always been very concerned about this matter all these years, but he will never be able to make up for it. Therefore, the master never makes promises lightly."

When Sile said this, she looked at Yao Xue seriously: "Since the master has made a promise to you, you believe him."

After hearing this, Yao Xue finally came to her senses.

His mind was full of Qiu Chen just now, and when he heard Si Le say that, he felt uncomfortable again, thinking that he was almost going crazy wanting to see the other party.

Seeing that Yao Xue had finally calmed down, Qin Luo on the side slowly let him go, and said guiltily, "Master, when we arrived at that music workshop, the building was already empty, and that person took everything away. No trace left at all."

Yao Xue followed them to the house, and after hearing this, she just said: "It's expected." A series of things happened so suddenly before, and he didn't even have time to ask Qin Luo about many things. Medicine, hurriedly asked: "You went back to Xingcai Town, but what did you find out?"

Qin Luo nodded, and said: "I quickly found that Mr. Sheng Ling, he..." He scratched his head when he said this, hesitant to say something that was rare, met Yao Xue's suspicious eyes, and finally had no choice but to Said: "This Mr. Sheng was very hospitable when he found out that I was your subordinate. He first pulled me to talk about...a lot of things about Mr. Young when he was young. Later, for some reason, he said that he was angry and picked up his pen. I wrote a letter when I came, and said that you must reply."

As Qin Luo spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yao Xue.

Yao Xue took the envelope and did not open it in a hurry. He pressed his temple with some headaches, and asked helplessly, "Sheng Ling...how much did he tell you?"

Qin Luo looked at Yao Xue with some doubts.

Yao Xue had no choice but to explain clearly: "What did he say about our past?"

Qin Luo recalled it seriously, and said: "Mr. Sheng is very eloquent. He started talking about it when you were five or six years old. He said that once you caught a fish raised in a pond by others, you were chased and beaten for three streets. , and finally hid in his house; also said that you were beaten by your father because you were not able to marry the daughter of a rich businessman because you went out to play with mud; Post a small repost, the first time I saw someone, my face turned red, and later on you always asked Mr. Sheng to cover for you, and went to the next classroom to secretly watch him..."

Yao Xue listened for a while, and the more she listened, the more angry she felt. Finally, she waved her hands and said, "Stop, stop. I see."

Although he and Qin Luo have known each other for many years and know each other well, he still feels ashamed in front of each other at this moment.The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't think about it, and said to Qin Luo in a stiff tone: "There are some things, just forget it after hearing about it, don't take it seriously, and don't worry about it."

Qin Luo is usually very smart, but now he is being stupid again, he waved his hand very considerately: "It's okay, I think it's quite interesting."

Yao Xue didn't want to talk to him, so she opened the letter roughly.

The letter reads:

Yao Changshu:

Seeing letters is like meeting.

Are you too mean?Back then, I moved to Yanyang without saying a word. If you didn't tell others, you should tell me, right?Since we were young, we have been friends since we climbed trees to dig out bird eggs, and went into the water to catch loaches?

Long time no see, how are you doing?I don't know if you and Qiuchen are married yet?Speaking of which, you and he seemed to have left around the same time, you guys, you couldn't have eloped, right?Alas, speaking of him, I think of the many stupid things you did back then.He, although he is a man, is also quite good, with such a good-looking face and such a good personality.But, if you are together, what will your little junior sister Wanqian do?Back then, I couldn't understand the relationship between the three of you. In fact, I think that little junior sister Wanqian sometimes looks at people with scary eyes.Oh, let's not talk about this, by the way, I'm married now!My wife is beautiful, you should know her, she is the youngest daughter of the Wang family on Dongjie, she seems to have given you a handkerchief back then.

But my lord has a lot of them, so I don't care about these things. If I insist on counting, which little girl in our town didn't like you and Qiuchen back then?

Having said that, this subordinate of yours is quite nice, very styled like your royal city, and he is also talkative.Regarding the things you asked, I asked my relatives and friends here to check. Most of your servants were still in Xingcai Town. Many of them went to other big families as servants, and a few of them worked as small The foundation of this transaction is fairly clean.As for Qiu Chen's family, there were not many servants in his family, and most of them were still in the local area, so there was nothing worth noting.

However, there is one thing I have to mention to you here.That year, in April after you all left, one day, Junior Sister Wanqian came to my house.Her body was covered in blood, and her face was covered with a veil. She didn't know what happened to her.At that time, she begged me to take her in for a night. I thought to myself that I was also from the same family before, so I let her stay.But she refused to say anything, and disappeared the next day.Moreover, my family lost a lot of silver taels that time, and I couldn't find out who did it.It can't be her, can it?I deliberately dragged someone to ask, but I couldn't find where she was, anyway, she wasn't in Xingcai Town.

That's all I know. I guess Wan Qian has something to do with what you want to investigate.Also, I am still very concerned. After so many years, you are so handsome, have you married a wife?Later, you must take your wife back to Xingcai Town, so we can catch up.

Must come back!

盛灵

Yao Xue read the letter from beginning to end, at first the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then her brows were furrowed.

Sheng Ling has not changed at all for so many years, he is still so noisy, this letter is written with his own characteristics, it is better to say that it is like talking in someone's ear.

After not seeing each other for many years, Yao Xue's eyes softened when she heard the other party mention the past, and felt a little sad while feeling funny in her heart.The people of Xingcai Town are simple and honest, just listening to Sheng Ling's description brought back the nostalgia that had been buried in his heart all along.

If there were not so many bad things, he and Qiu Chen might...

Yao Xue smiled silently in her heart, didn't think about it any more, read the letter twice, put it on the candle and burned it, then turned to Qin Luo and said, "Go and check again, there is a letter in Shuo'an City. There are no women with branding on their faces, or deliberately wearing a veil."

Regarding Fang Wanqian, recalling the past recently, Yao Xue always felt that Fang Wanqian was very suspicious, but now, he had a faint guess in his heart.
