Luo Yan Hu does not return

In the airtight stone room, it was dark for a long time, and it was impossible to distinguish day from night. The cold air spread all over his body, and his legs became more and more unable to move.

He has stumbled, been mad, lost, and desperate. For twenty years, he has said whether it is long or short. Some of them are tortures that are more tormenting than this moment. What's more, there is a longing in his heart that makes him endure for a long time. They are all happy.

He understands why Qiu Xiao's ambition started. Compared with Qiu Lai and Qiu Tang's loneliness, Qiu Xiao's father was a general of the Wu Kingdom who was defeated and killed in Jiangling. However, no matter how proud and arrogant he is, there are still not a few old people in Wu who follow him wholeheartedly.

But Zhengyin Pavilion was built by himself, no matter how much Qiu Xiao had his hands and eyes open to the sky, he couldn't close everyone's eyeliner. In the secret letter that he asked himself to review the day before yesterday, someone secretly wrote on the back with white wax, asking about his recent situation.

Unable to guess who did it, Xue Heng smeared a drop of blood on the secret letter. If someone really wanted to help him out of trouble, a little blood would be able to respond more or less, and it would not be a shock.

"Lord."

A gust of cold wind skimmed the side of the cheek, which woke Xue Heng up.Although the stone room was wide open, Xue Heng was inevitably a little disappointed when he saw that it was Qiu Xiao who came.

"What are you here for?" There was no bedding in the stone room, Xue Heng had caught a cold from the first day, and his throat was hoarse.

"After going out, I still hope that the Lord will behave himself, and don't spoil the big event I'm waiting for."

Xue Heng snorted softly, "Xue Mou has no power to restrain a chicken now, and his life is completely in the hands of the pavilion master. Naturally, he dare not act rashly, the pavilion master can rest assured."

"My lord, don't worry too much. After you go out, as long as you follow our plan, your life will be safe."

Xue Heng's complexion did not improve because of these two words, Qiu Xiao was willing to let him go out, there must be some weight in his hand to restrain him, which is more effective than being imprisoned.

After being helped onto the four-wheeled vehicle, Xue Heng found a bit of luck and found that the space between his chest and abdomen was weak, and his arms were not flexible enough to move. □□?”

Before Qiu Xiao pointed it out, there was no way to confirm Xue Heng's guess, but after three days in a row, the numbness in his whole body did not weaken at all, Xue Heng became more and more restless, and the frequency of coughing was also increasing day by day.

More than ten days passed, Xue Heng's behavior became more and more monotonous day by day, although the number of papers approved was much less than before, the rest of the time was spent sleeping, and he rarely had the opportunity to talk with others.

Wanting to rely on the influence of the past support, Xue Heng tried to hint to a few veterans who came to visit. Although these people claimed to save him, they were all intimidated by Qiu Xiao's restraint and remained indifferent. It was hard for Xue Heng to believe that they had the heart Help yourself out.

The delay was getting longer and longer, and Xue Heng's thoughts became more and more serious, until he became sick with accumulated wear and tear, and was so exhausted that he couldn't even hold a pen. Qiu Xiao had no choice but to order him to take care of him temporarily.

After being in a daze for more than half a month, almost lying in bed all day long, Xue Heng's condition still hasn't improved, his face that used to be smooth and fair, now only the outline of bones can be seen, the whole person has lost his appearance.

No matter how cold-hearted Qiu Xiao was, he had no choice but to invite someone to treat Xue Heng at this time.

Xue Hengxu was not tonic, so he could only drink some warming medicine, but his body had unresolved residual poison, coupled with the high fever for several days, several prescriptions had no effect. Suddenly invited a doctor who is proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion, and after only two days, Xue Heng's diet has been allowed to go back to normal.

Xue Heng, who only cared about recuperating, was in a coma for more than half of the days, and the waiters who came in and out were all his cronies. Even though Qiu Xiao didn't believe that Xue Heng could cause any disturbance, he couldn't completely rest assured, and his eyes and ears were not diminished. anti-increase.

In less than two months, Qiu Xiao thought that those who refused to obey him in the Zhengyin Pavilion had been cleaned up in a mess, and that he could handle all affairs more and more easily. After several measurements, Qiu Xiao believed that Xue Heng could rise up The utility obtained is minimal, so I want to make a complete stop.

"If he can be used by me, let him live for the time being. If he can't, he can only blame himself."

Qiu Xiao hesitated for a moment outside Xue Heng's room door, then opened the door and said: "Yesterday I heard from the doctor that your illness is no longer serious, how do you feel now?"

Xue Heng smiled indifferently, and then showed the calm expression that Qiu Xiao was most familiar with, "Thanks to the pavilion master's concern, Xue's whole body is smooth now, except that his legs cannot walk, and the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath have not occurred for several days. .”

"That's good. Now that the rebel army has gathered, it's only one night to send troops. Please help me, my lord."

"No one can match the courage of the pavilion master. Don't mention the word 'lord' again. Xue is like a dog and horse. It is up to the pavilion master to decide what to do in the future."

Qiu Xiao couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Since you are knowledgeable, I will not neglect you. Before that, you were the leader of the people. I respect and admire you very much. Although I am now the master of the pavilion, but There is no need to stick to this difference, from now on you and I will sit together and work together with the sons and daughters under our command, and the restoration of my homeland is just around the corner."

After hearing some rhetoric, Xue Heng showed no signs of excitement.

In the past, Qiu Xiao was only thought to be arrogant, with his eyes above his head, but now it seems that what is suppressed under his aloof appearance is actually an unknown arrogance.

At that time, tyranny was imposed and taxes were heavy, and the people were in dire straits. As long as someone raised the flag and rocker, everyone would respond to it and be invincible. At this time, the world was in a state of turmoil, and the Jiangzuo Rebellion had just begun to decline.

Most of the Zhengyin Pavilion are good at light kung fu, being a scout is perfect, but being an ordinary armor is not enough. Marching and fighting are very different from disputes in the rivers and lakes. Concealed weapons and throwing knives are nothing more than a small fight in front of the armored Jin Ge. It's not enough to drive straight in and out.

Xue Heng was stunned for a long time without responding, Qiu Xiao's expression turned sharply: "Why, what you said just now, you regretted it in just a moment?"

Xue Heng hurriedly said: "Don't you dare, Xue Mou was thinking just now, the most important thing in fighting a war is to strategize and win thousands of miles. Although I know some business methods, I don't know anything about tactics. The pavilion master treats me so highly, but I don't know how Why do you share the worries of the pavilion master?"

Qiu Xiao scolded softly, "Although you keep saying 'Pavilion Master', you don't really think highly of me?"

"Xue has absolutely no such intention." Xue Heng hurriedly put on a look of horror.

"I have been marching with my father since I was born. Over the years, I have always kept a military book on my desk. I can make decisions about the formation of troops. You don't need to intervene. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass in the rear, the brothers are fed and clothed. Nuan, you have done your duty, so what, do you still have any doubts?"

Xue Heng sneered and said: "So that's the case, the pavilion master came prepared, it's really Xue who is worrying too much."

When Qiu Xiao left, Xue Heng leaned against the pillow without strength.

He shouldn't be so restless, but the conversation just now almost gave him away.Before Qiu Xiao entered the door, he had just sent two letters, one to Luofu Mountain and the other to Yueqing Mountain.

Although Qiu Xiao tried every means to close his eyes and listen, but after many trials, Xue Heng finally found two trustworthy people.

The first thing he tried to find out was Feng Liyuan's whereabouts. Although he didn't want him to be involved, he still hoped to see him soon, but later he suffered from the delay.

It didn't take much effort to get news from Ge Hong. Ge Hong was kind and generous. He treated many difficult and miscellaneous diseases on the way to the south. There were countless people who wanted to repay his kindness. Not long after the person who was eager to repay his kindness, Xue Heng found out his whereabouts.

Knowing that Ge Hong's foothold might be in Luofu Mountain, Xue Heng believed that there was little hope of Ge Hong's coming forward, and the biggest variable right now was on Yueqing Mountain.

After learning about Qian Wenying and Wang Sanshui's old affairs, Xue Heng withdrew the staff from the Taiqing Pavilion, and never found out about Qian Wenying's recent situation. Right now, she can neither guarantee whether she is still in Lingshuang Cave nor her Is it as I wished? My skill is not what it used to be. With my current body with limited mobility, if I don't have a master to help me, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of the room.

How many times in the past, he did whatever he wanted, and never imagined that he would fall into the current predicament. Xue Heng couldn't stop mocking himself, and the depression between his brows became more and more serious.

In a trance, someone was calling vaguely.

"Who is it?" Xue Heng couldn't hear the words he shouted clearly, he struggled to get up, and the servants at the side rushed to help, and when Xue Heng was about to collapse, he fell back suddenly.

There was a silver needle buried in the boy's chest, and the wing room was closed on all sides, without a single window. Xue Heng looked around the empty room, feeling extremely terrified.

"That needle... Could it be that it was shot through the wall?" Xue Heng guessed wildly, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Heng, look up!"

The voice was extremely weak, and Xue Heng raised his neck tremblingly.

"Brother?"

Almost crying with joy, Xue Heng couldn't help rubbing his eyes, Feng Liyuan stared at him steadfastly, "Why—" Feng Liyuan hastily made a booing motion with his hands, Xue Heng immediately fell silent.

The eyes of the two met, and they were silent for a long time, when Feng Liyuan suddenly jumped down.

Feng Liyuan squatted beside Xue Heng's couch, and said cautiously: "Ah Heng, come up."

The voice was as intimate as ever, and in a daze, the thoughts entangled in his heart disappeared, Xue Heng hugged Feng Liyuan's arm tightly, put his lips next to Feng Liyuan's ear, and said almost inaudibly: "Okay. "
