The general said she doesn't take a wife

The white-robed Confucian scholar stroked his chin beard with one hand, and put his other hand behind his back, staying on the street in the dead of night, under the moonlight, showing a bit of immortal demeanor, with a feeling of inscrutable.

Lin Aoxue stopped in her tracks, her eyes were dim, this person is a master.

Neither of them spoke first, and they looked at each other from a distance. Lin Aoxue knew that the other party was waiting for her, but she had never seen this person, nor had she heard of anyone related to him in Xing Beiguan, so she couldn't help but frowned. A bit of deep thought and doubt.

"Lin Pianjiang, I have been waiting here for a long time, I don't know if Pianjiang can take a step to speak?"

Seeing Lin Aoxue looking towards him with vigilance in his eyes, the scholar in white robe showed a smile on his face, and said calmly.

Lin Aoxue did not refuse, nor could she refuse.

After the Confucian scholar finished speaking, he moved and quietly disappeared into the other side of the alley. Lin Aoxue's eyes shrank.

Lin Aoxue felt more and more confused about the identity of this person. Recently, there have been many strange things in Xingbei Pass. First, Bei Chenlong was assassinated, and spies colluded with the enemy. Xingbei Pass was broken. One incident seems to have been planned in advance, but it is impossible to find the exact connection between them.

Right now, a mysterious Confucian scholar appeared to invite him. As soon as Lin Aoxue saw this person's skill, she immediately connected him with the assassin who assassinated Bei Chenlong. She could count on her hands, but she also knew that she couldn't jump to conclusions, so she didn't think about it any more, and followed the man deep into the alley.

The two walked around the market one after the other, when Lin Aoxue's figure disappeared into the towering courtyard wall, Lin Aoxue's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes, because that place was actually the Misty Rain Tower.

A major change happened in Xingbei Pass. Even though this time should be the busiest time in Yanyu Tower, today, it is very desolate in Yanyu Tower. The girls in the building rested early. The person entered the Yanyu Building, jumped straight up, and came to the attic on the top floor of the Yanyu Building with ease.

Lin Aoxue followed along the path she walked, and when she stepped onto the wooden steps in the pavilion, candlelight suddenly lit up in the pavilion, and the white-robed scholar stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the empty and lonely night outside the window , said to Lin Aoxue:

"Respecting the old man before you go down the mountain, is it okay?"

Lin Aoxue paused, surprise flashed across her eyes, she stood at the door of the pavilion and didn't speak for a while.

"Oh, it's a bit abrupt. Although I know your deeds in Xingbei Pass, you don't know my identity."

The white-robed scholar turned around, with a peaceful face, his bright black eyes looked extraordinarily shrewd and wise under the candlelight, as if he had hidden countless strategies and tricks, making Lin Aoxue confused and full of doubts, her face remained motionless, Frowning slightly, he asked:

"Who are you?"

The Confucian scholar in white robe stroked his chin beard, smiled and answered Lin Aoxue's words:

"I am Beichenlong's military adviser, and at the same time the chief disciple of Master Hongming. My name is Xuanhe. You can call me senior brother."

Lin Aoxue was very surprised. Although she knew that Master Hongming had many disciples, most of those disciples she knew were monks in the temple. This was the first time she had encountered Master Hongming scattered outside Yuanming Temple. She was even more surprised by this person's other identity, he turned out to be Bei Chenlong's military advisor!

Since he was Bei Chenlong's military adviser, he must have won Bei Chenlong's trust. At this moment, Lin Aoxue became more suspicious of whether this person was the real culprit who assassinated Bei Chenlong.

But Xuanhe had already revealed her identity, so Lin Aoxue could no longer settle the matter with a perfunctory attitude, no matter whether the identity of this person was as he said, she could not show too obvious hostility.

Therefore, after Xuanhe's words fell, Lin Aoxue's shoulders loosened slightly, and she stepped into the pavilion, bowed to Xuanhe with both hands clasped fists, and said:

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Xuanhe."

Xuanhe chuckled, raised his hand and patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder, motioned Lin Aoxue to sit beside him, and asked with a smile:

"Tea or wine?"

Lin Aoxue sat upright, didn't think for too long, when Xuan He asked, she made a choice:

"Tea."

Hearing this, Xuan He clapped his hands lightly, and soon, there were slight footsteps from the silent pavilion, and a maid in the Yanyu Building came in with freshly brewed tea, and filled Lin Aoxue and Xuan He's hands respectively. After drinking a glass, he backed away with the tray, and the room fell silent again.

Lin Aoxue's eyes fell on the waves rippling in the tea, and there was a thoughtful look in her eyes. Obviously, the person behind the Yanyu Tower is her nominal senior brother, and the Yanyu Tower in the north and the Yanyu in Beijing Lou has many, many unexplainable involvements.

The biggest hand behind Yanyulou is Bei Chenhe, and the answer is ready to come out. Xuanhe is in the northern border army and serves as Bei Chenlong's military adviser, but he is actually Bei Chenhe's man.But there was one thing Lin Aoxue was puzzled about. For someone as suspicious as Bei Chenlong, how did Xuanhe gain his trust and never reveal his identity?

Besides, Yunyan is also working for Bei Chenhe, she was the oiran of Yanyu Building before, is there a deep relationship between Yunyan and Xuanhe?

Seeing Lin Aoxue frowning, Xuanhe seemed to be able to see the doubts in her heart. His face was calm and calm, his eyes were easy-going and indifferent, but he had the temperament of Master Hongming. He calmly mentioned that when he asked Lin Aoxue That sentence:

"Respect Master, old man, before you go down the mountain, are you okay?"

Lin Aoxue hugged the teacup, lowered her brows slightly, and answered seriously:

"Master, everything is as usual, but the cough that I contracted in the past years has a tendency to recur before I go down the mountain."

Xuan He let out an oh, with a look of remembrance on his face. For a while, the small space in the pavilion fell silent again. Lin Aoxue rubbed her thumbs over the edge of the tea bowl, round and round, guessing what Xuan He would say next. something.

"How does Junior Brother see the current situation in the world?"

After a long period of silence, Xuanhe spoke again, his words seemed serious, but his expression was quite casual, as if he was exchanging what he had seen and learned with his fellow disciples.

Lin Aoxue couldn't figure out Xuan He's purpose, but she guessed that since Xuan He was mostly Bei Chenhe's subordinate, every word he said to her might be testing her attitude.Besides, he called Lin Aoxue as his junior, obviously he didn't know her real identity, Hongming hid her identity for her, in the whole world, no one except Hongming Yunyan and Sui Liang knew her identity.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before answering:

"The emperor's tyrannical government, the people's livelihood is difficult, the barbarians at the border are in turmoil, the Central Plains rebels are revolting, and the situation of Beichen Kingdom is declining. If it continues to deteriorate like this, people's hearts will be scattered and they will definitely fall apart."

Xuan He stroked his beard and nodded, saying:

"That's right, it's exactly as what my junior brother said, in this Beichen world, the national power has been exhausted, the national treasury is empty, and the people's livelihood is dying. So why does this junior think?"

"Natural and man-made disasters."

Lin Aoxue spoke concisely.

"The disaster of drought, whose fault is it?"

Xuanhe got to the bottom of it.

Lin Aoxue chose her words carefully, and answered after a while:

"Royal brothers fight among themselves, ordinary people suffer."

She wasn't sure whether Xuan He was one of Prince Zong's subordinates, so she didn't immediately state her position during the conversation, but just expounded her point of view based on facts.Even though she knew in her heart that during the intensified battle between the emperor and Beichenlong, the Prince Zong was probably not clear about the relationship, but at least on the bright side, Beichenhe had nothing to do with state affairs.

Xuan He smiled, and there was an incomprehensible deep meaning in his eyes. Lin Aoxue's answer was not clever, but she didn't make a fool of herself, so she asked again:

"The younger brother thinks that the royal brothers are fighting among themselves, who will win?"

Lin Aoxue lightly paused the finger that brushed the edge of the tea bowl, the main scene came, Xuan He was asking her to show her position.She stared at the undulating waves in the tea bowl, and answered without changing her expression:

"In the world of Beichen Kingdom, it doesn't matter who dies. I just hope that the war will end as soon as possible, and the people of Li can live and work in peace."

Xuanhe laughed, and couldn't stop nodding to Lin Aoxue's words:

"That's right, that's true. Junior brother has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, which is quite similar to that of Venerable Master back then."

Lin Aoxue didn't reply when she heard the words, but Xuan He looked at her and said suddenly:

"Junior brother, we know that respected master had the same lofty ambitions as junior brother back then, but in the end he was suspected by others and ended in a dismal end."

Lin Aoxue didn't know about Hong Ming's past, when Xuan He mentioned it, she frowned, her eyes were puzzled, and she asked:

"I only know that master was quite prestigious in Beijing back then, but I don't know why master became a monk later. When I was practicing in the mountains, master never mentioned the past. Brother, do you know something about this?"

After Lin Aoxue finished asking, Xuanhe's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, he pondered for a moment and said:

"When Zunshi was young, he was talented, both civil and military, and had great ambitions. He was the favorite student of the prime minister at that time. He cared about the hardships of the people. Can learn female red."

"However, when he was giving lectures in the village, many women secretly went to listen to his lectures. Therefore, he recruited a few female disciples, and found that the knowledge of these female disciples was not inferior to that of men. He believed that talent and learning had nothing to do with gender. The DPRK and China have proposed to promote the female official system and allow women to be officials."

"However, Beichen has always respected men, and the ancient saying that women are virtuous without talent has not been changed since ancient times. This act of respecting teachers is undoubtedly challenging the traditional bottom line of Beichen Kingdom. Since the opening of the book, he has been ridiculed by everyone. The emperor was even more furious, and ordered him to face the wall and think about his mistakes, and rumors spread in Beijing that the revered master had close contacts with his female disciples."

Xuanhe recalled the old events back then, and there was still some indescribable emotion in his eyes. At that time, he was only in his twenties, and he was the most obedient and sensible student under Hongming's class. He held a neutral view on Hongming's move. Attitude, neither praise nor blame.

"Respected Master has angered everyone because of this, and no one believes that Master is innocent, so he resigned in a rage, stayed away from the temple, and recuperated in Yuanming Mountain."

It was also at that time that he was recruited by Prince Zong, and secretly had contacts with Bei Chenhe, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent situation.

Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised. She did not expect that there was such a cause and effect. Master Hongming's move was the No. 1 in the history of Beichen. However, such an innovative move was suppressed by the royal family before it could shine, and it was regarded as a scandal. It was kept secret, so after Hongming became a monk, Jingzhong only passed on his knowledge and ability, but never mentioned his achievements.

She turned the tea bowl in her hand, and sighed deeply after hearing the words:

"Master must have worked very hard at the beginning."

While Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, some memories were also brought up by Xuanhe, and she just remembered that it was not the first time she and Hongming met when Hongming took her away on the streets of Beijing Zhongxi City 14 years ago.

In fact, she had met Hong Ming earlier.

She was less than ten years old at that time, and she once sneaked to the school where the princes study together with Bei Chenling, and met a young apprentice who was about thirty years old, she and Bei Chenling laughed and said that this master was inferior to that teacher of students are more like students.

Later, the apprentice found out that the two of them were eavesdropping, but he didn't drive them away. After one class was over, he asked them some questions. In some impressions, she answered very well and was praised by her apprentice.

After that time, she and Bei Chenling secretly went to the school a few more times, but they never met that day's apprentice again. After a long time, they gradually forgot what that person looked like, and no one mentioned that talented young man again. .

Now that I think about it, it turns out that the relationship between her and Hong Ming's mentor and apprentice has been formed since she was a child.She couldn't help wondering, was it possible for Hong Ming to recognize her in the early morning when they met on the street in Beijing and China?

When Lin Aoxue's thoughts returned to her childhood, Xuanhe shook her head and chuckled lightly, with thoughts and helplessness in her eyes:

"Yeah, at that time, the respected master left the capital. As a disciple of the respected master, I should have left the capital with him, but I was young and energetic at the time, and I was unwilling to leave before I had achieved anything, so I stayed in the capital again. Two years."

"In those two years, when I went out every day, there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me. When I walked on the street, I would feel that the people around me were whispering. They cared that I was a disciple of the respected master. No matter how I Trying hard to achieve fame and fame, but in the end you will only be frustrated, and your ambition will never be leveled."

"The emperor doesn't use me, and even the Beijing Middle School doesn't allow me to give lectures. I live in a very poor situation, but at this moment, His Royal Highness Prince Zong secretly recruited me into the house."

Having said this sentence, he has already expressed his position, he is indeed Bei Chenhe's person.

Under Lin Aoxue's probing eyes, he took out a jade tablet from his cuff, put it gently on the table, and smiled at Lin Aoxue:

"Master, do you know what this is?"

Lin Aoxue's eyes fell on that jade tablet, she knew it naturally, and she also had the same piece on her body.She pursed her lips, Xuanhe spoke to her with sincerity today, he revealed his identity to Lin Aoxue not because he was brave or foolhardy, but because he was fearless.

Even if Lin Aoxue knew the inside story, she couldn't do anything to her. On the contrary, if Lin Aoxue knew these things, she was destined to be unable to escape.Before she left Beijing at the beginning of the year, Bei Chenhe's words echoed in her ears again. The chess piece that had been buried for so long seemed to have some effect.

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, and after a while, the conclusion was reached, she flicked her cuffs, took out the jade token that she had always carried with her, and put it next to the jade token held by Xuan He, with mutual understanding.The smile on Xuan He's face deepened, and the light in his eyes became more contented. He tapped the table with his fingertips and said:

"My lord is extremely wise. Compared with the emperor and Bei Chenlong, his vision is obviously farther-sighted, and he has always regretted what happened to his master back then. His Highness saw that I was unable to move an inch in the capital, so he gave me a trick to make me I went north to Xingbeiguan, and went to Beichenlong."

Once the words had been spoken, Xuanhe had no scruples, and he said with a smile:

"You must be very curious, why I can gain Bei Chenlong's trust."

Maybe it was because he came from the same school as his teacher, or maybe it was because he was loyal to the same person, Xuanhe was a little interested today, and even opened up his chatter box, willing to answer Lin Aoxue's questions.

Lin Aoxue did not pretend to understand, she nodded seriously, and said:

"Yes, I am very puzzled about this. After I returned from the capital, Bei Chenlong tried to test me a lot, and I almost lost my life several times. I think the senior brother has another coup."

Xuanhe heard the words, but he laughed, with a relaxed expression:

"Junior is overestimating being a brother. The reason why being a brother can gain Bei Chenlong's trust is actually relying on respecting the teacher."

"Oh?"

Lin Aoxue was puzzled.

"Because before Master Zun was criticized, he went to the northern region to practice for a period of time and even made friends with Bei Chenlong. However, Master Zun was criticized for implementing the system of female officials in the capital. This side, so he feels guilty about it."

At this point, Xuanhe's face revealed a look of sarcasm. He snorted indifferently, obviously very disdainful of Bei Chenlong's actions:

"When he heard that I was a disciple of Master Zun and suffered a lot in the capital, Bei Chenlong never hesitated to take me in."

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue sighed lightly:

"Senior brother is also considered to be at the right time."

A thoughtful expression appeared on her face, the tea in the teacup in her hand was getting cold gradually, she stroked the edge lightly, and then said:

"Brother came to look for me today, it should not be just to catch up with me."

Having talked so much with her earlier, it was undoubtedly to draw in the relationship between them and gain Lin Aoxue's trust, but Xuan He's real purpose must be more than that.

Xuanhe picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said with a smile:

"I came to look for my junior brother for my brother, because I want to share my worries for my junior brother."

Lin Aoxue was very surprised. Xuanhe's words were beyond her expectation. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuanhe in surprise. Although she didn't speak, Xuanhe could already see her doubts in her eyes. He proactively said:

"As far as I know, the younger brother has just returned from outside the customs, but it seems that the younger brother's trip did not go as planned."

Lin Aoxue's hands beside the tea bowl were clenched suddenly, and the expression on her face froze. She held the tea bowl steady with her palms, and said nothing with her face down.Lin Aoxue's reaction after hearing him say that sentence was too obvious. Even though Lin Aoxue tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't completely hide the shock and tension in her heart.

Xuan He didn't take it seriously, he raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes deepened, Lin Aoxue has a weakness, which made his purpose of this trip smoother:

"A hero is sad at the beauty pass, junior brother doesn't have to be so nervous, it's just human nature."

After sighing, he changed the subject:

"Miss Yunyan has won the trust of the prince of the clan, and her ability is quite outstanding. This time the barbarians invaded the pass and only captured Yunyan. Do you know why?"

Lin Aoxue's eyelids trembled slightly, her lips were tightly pressed together, and after a while, she let out a long breath and asked:

"Please ask brother to clarify."

Since Xuanhe mentioned this matter, he must know the inside story.

Perhaps, not only did he know the inside story of the barbarians entering the pass, but he was even the instigator behind this incident, or maybe the person who caused the entire Xingbei Pass to fall into chaos and told Zhe Ji about the deployment of Xingbei Pass was Xuan He, except for him , no second person has such ability.

And his purpose is also obvious, which is to weaken Bei Chenlong's power, prevent Bei Chenlong from expanding too much, and let Bei Chenlong and the emperor check and balance each other.The more chaotic the situation, the greater the benefits that Beichenhe can gain from it. Until Beichen's national power weakens to a certain extent, he can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to rise to power.

Lin Aoxue would not be surprised if Bei Chenhe was the pusher behind her.Lin Aoxue admired Bei Chenhe's patience, she had to admit that Bei Chenhe was the most ruthless and tolerant of the three brothers.

If it was Beichenhe, it was not surprising that he made the decision to bury [-] soldiers from Xingbeiguan just to fulfill his own ambition.

Xuanhe stroked his chin beard, nodded and said:

"The Boka barbarian king suddenly became critically ill. There was no healer among the barbarians who could heal the barbarian king's serious illness. The princes scrambled for power and wanted to take the opportunity to set off a mutiny. Cooperation, but Yunyan didn't know about this matter, so when Princess Wang took her away, she used some tricks."

Xuan He spoke calmly, but Lin Aoxue's slightly drooping eyes had already gathered a cold and sharp killing intent, which quickly dissipated after only a moment.She was still holding the teacup in her palm, and she didn't express the raging anger in her heart. She knew that martial arts practitioners were most sensitive to murderous intent, and if she showed any strangeness, it could be a reason for Xuan He to doubt her.

But the anger deep in her heart will not be appeased easily. Xuanhe said it so calmly, because she wanted to tell Lin Aoxue that although Yunyan was taken away by Zhe Ji and went deep into the grassland, this is the relationship between Prince Zong and Zhe Ji. deal, so Yunyan will not be in danger of life.

But Xuan He didn't know that what Lin Aoxue cared about and cared about was not the same as what he guessed in his heart.

Lin Aoxue felt unbearable anger at the fact that Yunyan became a tool used by Prince Zong to trade with the barbarians. Even if Yunyan was prepared, Prince Zong's move was too base.

Lin Aoxue didn't know whether Yunyan had been to the grassland, but the barbarians in the grassland were fighting for power, and the environment was dangerous after all. Even Zheji herself couldn't guarantee her safety, and there was no other way to worry about Yunyan's safety. In the area surrounded by wolves, Lin Aoxue was very worried and anxious.

She forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, even if she gritted her teeth, hoping to tear Xuan He's well-prepared face into pieces immediately, she still had to let herself show the same calmness, not to be surprised by favor or humiliation.

"Doctor Yun is going to the grassland, so he probably won't be able to come back easily."

Lin Aoxue lowered her head slightly and muttered to herself.

Xuan He glanced at her, and teased her with a smile on the back:

"I can't see it, but junior brother is an infatuated person, but junior brother, don't worry, since brother Wei came to look for you, he has news related to Dr. Yun to bring you."

Lin Aoxue raised her head upon hearing this, looked at Xuan He earnestly, and waited for his next words.

"Doctor Yun will go directly to Boka when he goes to the grassland. The Princess of Boka intends to join hands with His Royal Highness, Prince Zong, to use Beichen's soldiers to relieve the internal crisis of the barbarians. Junior brother, this is a golden opportunity. Don't miss it!"

Xuan He's smile was mysterious and profound, and he knew that Lin Aoxue couldn't refuse.

Lin Aoxue really couldn't refuse, if she wanted to save Yunyan, she had to obey Bei Chenhe's words.

She felt a chill in her heart, Yunyan was not the only doctor in Beichen, even if the barbarian king was dying, how could he know that only Yunyan could save him?

Unless it was Bei Chenhe who was manipulating behind the scenes, he deliberately threatened Lin Aoxue with Yunyan's safety, and even considered Lin Aoxue's reaction and decision. With such foresight and foresight intertwined, how many secrets did they really hide from the inside of the situation? Bei Chenhe's eyes?

Lin Aoxue suddenly felt powerless, as if in this round, she could only obey Bei Chenhe's arrangements, she didn't know how much Bei Chenhe's hands were spread, and how many hidden methods he still had to use, How many pairs of eyes behind him are watching Beichen's every move in the world for him.

This person is really terrible.

She took a deep breath, feeling a little heavy in her heart. From the very beginning, she knew that Bei Chenhe was difficult to deal with. He was much more dangerous than the emperor and Bei Chenlong.

But since she has embarked on this road of no return, there is no reason to turn back.

After Xuan He finished speaking, Lin Aoxue had a solemn expression on her face, as if she was in deep thought. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief, got up and knelt down on one knee beside her, and begged Xuan He:

"Brother, please report this battle to the lord, and be sure to allow me to be the vanguard! Lin Aoxue is willing to open the way for the lord to enter the grassland!"

If she wants to lead the army, she must obtain military power. The situation in Xingbeiguan is currently in chaos. Beichenhe borrowed barbarian soldiers to attack Xingbeiguan. If she grasped the timing of her command to enter the grassland, she would be able to find Yunyan earlier.

But Lin Aoxue also understands that Bei Chenhe wants to benefit from the conflict between Bei Chenlong and the emperor's snipe and clam. Naturally, it is impossible to just take over the mess of Beichen, and it is impossible to solve the internal troubles for the barbarians first, and bury himself. The cause of the disaster, therefore, Bei Chenhe will definitely deal with the chaos in the court first, at least, he must be in power in the court and eliminate all voices against him.

In addition, he also needs military power, a sharp knife that is loyal to him and can restore the chaos for him and suppress the uprising soldiers in Beichen.

If Lin Aoxue doesn't fight, there will be someone else willing to take this position, and she will lose value to Bei Chenhe. Therefore, if she wants to climb up and gain a firm foothold in this chaotic situation, she just You must show your talents, even if you go against your will, even if you betray your conscience.

Lin Aoxue took the initiative to ask for orders, and she pledged allegiance. Xuan He nodded in satisfaction. Naturally, he had no doubts about Lin Aoxue's ability to lead the army. Lin Aoxue had been in Xingbeiguan for two years, and he had seen countless battles, big and small. Within a hundred years of Xingbeiguan, no one can surpass it.

As for Lin Aoxue's performance in Xingbei Pass, he has been secretly reporting to Bei Chenhe, so although Beichenhe is far away in the capital, he knows every move in Xingbei Pass like the palm of his hand.

Xuan He got up, walked towards Lin Aoxue, helped her up, patted her shoulder with a smile, and whispered in her ear:

"As long as you have no second thoughts about the prince, the prince will naturally not treat you badly."

In the end, he went back to the back of the desk, clapped his hands and called the maid to come up and replace her with fresh tea. Lin Aoxue resigned in time and came out of the Misty Rain Building.

The night outside was very dark, the sky was gray, and there were no stars or the moon.

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips tightly, her thoughts were turbulent, and she clenched her teeth after a while, without showing any emotion on her face.With a movement of her body, her figure disappeared into the streets and alleys, and she hid in the dark at an extremely fast speed. She circled around the Xingbei Market, returned to the back of the medical hall, and climbed over the wall to enter. With the cover of the vegetation in the yard, she came quickly. to the main hall.

The man in black still hid in the house and did not leave, he also expected that Lin Aoxue might come back.

His injuries were serious. Zhe Ji's hidden guards stabbed him in the lower abdomen when they fought him. Although according to his experience in life and death in the past, he could barely save his life after treating the wound by himself, but he was also very weak at this time. If someone else came here to take advantage of the danger, he might not be able to hold on.

When Lin Aoxue came, he was sitting against the wall, his head drooped slightly, his breathing was weak, and his face was ugly, as if he might die at any moment.Lin Aoxue pushed open the door and walked in. He raised his head with great effort, and vaguely recognized the identity of the person, but he didn't manage to escape.

"Take off your coat and put on your medicine."

Lin Aoxue came over, took out the medicine bag from her cuff, and handed it to him.

The black light is blind, and the specific condition of the wound cannot be seen clearly. It is very difficult to bandage, but they can't light the lamp. If there is a bright light here, people will soon find out.Lin Aoxue couldn't help, she handed the medicine to the man in black, and waited aside. In the silence, the only sound was the rustling of the cloth being torn.

"What's your name?"

Lin Aoxue asked suddenly.

The man in black, who was secretly bandaging the wound, kept moving his hands and replied in a hoarse voice:

"You can call me Yingsi."

"Shadow Shop? Is there still Shadow One, Shadow Two, and Shadow Three?"

Lin Aoxue felt that this title was a bit interesting, so she asked.

Yingsi felt that Lin Aoxue asked a bit too much, so he didn't answer this question, but instead asked:

"How is Miss Yun?"

Lin Aoxue didn't mind that Yingsi didn't answer her question, she didn't really want to get to the bottom of it, she just wanted to know about Yunyan, but she didn't know how to open it, so she just picked up a topic at random. There is nothing to hide, and he said:

"Going to the grassland, Zhe Ji took her away, I led the soldiers to chase after her, and almost fought with the barbarians, but she persuaded me to come back, and I couldn't save her."

Yingsi was silent for a moment, and a cold snort sounded in the darkness, followed by Yingsi's resentful and indifferent voice:

"Do you know why she did it?"

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time, Yun Yan had already made it clear when she persuaded her to come back, of course she knew Yun Yan's painstaking efforts, and it was precisely because of this that her heart hurt so much that she felt so guilty that she couldn't speak. It was the raging thoughts that tormented her crazily, making her desperate to snatch Yunyan back.

But she can't act rashly, otherwise Yunyan's thoughts will be wasted, she can only suppress restless thoughts and wait for the opportunity.

"I know."

After a long silence, Lin Aoxue said softly.

Yingsi finally bandaged the wound, he stood up forcefully, with a sigh of relief, rolled up the blood-stained gauze and stuffed it into his bosom, and tried to clean it up after taking it out later.

"Miss Yun left something for you, you follow me."

Lin Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the words, but before she could ask, Yingsi had already opened the door and walked out.Lin Aoxue frowned, thinking about what Yunyan had left for herself, at the same time she started to follow Yingsi's footsteps, and quickly left the backyard of the hospital.

Lin Aoxue felt that she had been running around all day, learning one secret after another, almost dizzy.

She followed Yingsi through the Xingbei market, and came to a gloomy forest outside the market. It was after the war, and there were no people in the city. At night, at first glance, it seems that ferocious wild beasts are lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to swallow anyone who enters.

Yingsi went deep into the jungle without hesitation, and Lin Aoxue followed closely behind. They were always paying attention to the changes around them to avoid being followed.

After entering the jungle for more than a thousand steps, Yingsi paused, turned suddenly, and walked another two hundred steps. Lin Aoxue followed behind him step by step. Stopped under an old tree.

Lin Aoxue was surprised. She practiced with Hongming, and she had been exposed to some strange ways of dungeon armor. The route taken by the man in black just now implied certain rules. If she made a wrong step, she would not be able to find this place. Get lost after entering the woods.

Apparently this piece of woods has been re-arranged according to special needs. Yunyan has spent a lot of time lurking in Xingbeiguan for these years in order to avoid Beichenhe's eyes and ears. It is too difficult and dangerous for her to survive in such an environment. When Lin Aoxue thought of the hardships that Yunyan had put in for this, she felt as if a hole had been broken in her heart, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know what Yingsi wanted to hand over to her when she brought her to this place.

Yingsi stopped in front of the old tree, lit a fire and walked around the thick tree trunk, as if looking for some kind of sign, Lin Aoxue couldn't help, so she just waited by the side, and at the same time observed Yingsi carefully. unbridled actions.After a while, Yingsi discovered something, bent down, fixed the fire folder beside him, and then picked up a flat stone to dig up the soil on the ground.

After a while, the stone in his hand hit a hard object, and he quickly dug it out, it was a small wooden box.

The box was covered with dirt and looked old.Yingsi directly wiped away the mud stains on the box with his cuff, revealing the original appearance of the wooden box.

There are extremely fine carved patterns on the surface of the wooden box, and the box is locked with a mechanism. Lin Aoxue has never seen such a mechanism, but she has seen similar things in books about mechanism techniques. Unlocking it in the prescribed way will trigger the mechanism hidden in the box and destroy all the contents of the box. It is a box used to store extremely confidential things.

Because the workmanship of this object is exquisite and cumbersome, I am afraid that there are not more than ten of them in the entire Beichen country.Yunyan can get one of them, which can already demonstrate her ability.

Yingsi used a very special method to slap on the weird mechanism lock, and the steps were extremely complicated. With Lin Aoxue's photographic memory, after Yingsi opened the box, she almost forgot the steps.Lin Aoxue felt embarrassed, and stopped exploring the process of Yingsi opening the box.

But after seeing Yingsi unlock the mechanism lock on the box, he handed the wooden box to Lin Aoxue and said:

"Open it and see."

Lin Aoxue waited for a long time, and finally she was about to reveal the contents of the box. She took a deep breath, held the wooden box in her hands, gently lifted the cover, and saw the things quietly placed in the box by the faint light of the fire. .

Inside the box were two jade pendants, a golden key, and a letter.

Lin Aoxue's eyes were fixed, she recognized the golden key, the red thread on the golden key was not removed, it was the one in Yunyan's hand.

The handwriting on that letter was beautiful, Lin Aoxue had seen Yunyan's handwriting before, so she recognized the handwriting, it was Yunyan's own handwriting.

There are a few small characters neatly written on it, saying:

Aoxue kisses.

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips, listening to the rumbling heartbeat in her chest, raised her eyes to look at Yingsi suspiciously, and asked:

"Since it happened so suddenly, why did Yan'er keep these things with me?"

Yingsi's face was very serious, he looked up at Lin Aoxue, then quickly lowered his gaze, and replied:

"Because Miss Yun made preparations earlier, if something happens to her, she will ask someone to give these things to you."

It was said that Lin Aoxue's breathing was a little painful, she frowned slightly, and felt that the air rushing into her lungs from her nose seemed to be wrapped in a blade-like cold current, causing her chest to be filled with the cold wind, as if she was being held by thousands of ice skates. As if being cut, she felt colic, and she almost burst into tears instantly.

With trembling hands, she took out the letter from the wooden box, carefully peeled off the wax seal, took out a thin piece of letter paper inside, and slowly spread it out.

There were only a few lines in the letter, and the handwriting was soft and graceful. Under the faint light of the fire, it was like a warm sun in the cold winter, just like the feeling Yunyan brought to Lin Aoxue.

Mu Xue:

See the word as the face.

There are two jades in the box, one of which is the order of the shadow guard. There are 11 people in the shadow, all of whom are concubine's cronies, and they are trusted and used.

In the film, six are still in Beijing, and the other five are hiding in Xing Beiguan, so you can send Si to contact you.

The sapphire is a keepsake of a general in the army. At the end of the [-]th of each month, when there is no military chaos, he will be at the wine table on the second side of the window on the west side of Fuyun Winery. With this object, this person is the son of Qin Nan'an, the former subordinate of the emperor's father. Believable.

Sincerely, my concubine Yan.
