Old Yao fell into deep thought.

Chen Ji asked: "Master, what should I do now?"

Old Yao said angrily: "Why are you asking me? How long do you want me to help you solve the trouble you caused yourself?"

"Is Wu Hongbiao still alive?"

"Then I don't know."

"It's such a cold weather. After you took off his bloody clothes, did you put him in other clothes?"

"No, I can't control that."

"Then did you get him something to eat..."

"None of my business."

Chen Ji suddenly sat up from the bed: "It's broken!"

What a miserable Wu Hongbiao!

Old Man Yao really only cares about his own survival and doesn't care about the lives of others at all.

But I heard Old Man Yao sneer: "Shouldn't you thank me? If he dies like this, you can put away your womanly kindness with peace of mind. Don't worry, it's not you who caused his death, it was me.

Harmful."

It turned out that Master wanted to directly drag Wu Hongbiao to death.

Chen Ji said seriously: "Master, this is not the kindness of a woman."

After that, he struggled to get up and wanted to go out, but he quickly calmed down and sat back on the bed: "No, we have to wait until everyone falls asleep."

Old Man Yao yelled and went out: "You're not stupid... I advise you to try not to get involved with that Wu Hongbiao. I think the lifeline in his palm is short and concise, and he looks quite cute. You won't get involved with him."

What a happy ending."

Chen Ji: "..."

Master, you went to take off other people's clothes and read their palms by the way?

…

…

In the dead of night, people were snoring one after another in the apprentice's dormitory. Chen Ji quietly got up amidst the snoring and put on his clothes with difficulty.

The big movement involved the wound, which caused cold sweat on his forehead, but he did not dare to make a sound.

Chen Ji limped out the door cautiously. In the yard, the crow was standing on the branch of the almond tree with his eyes closed and resting, as if he had become one with the almond tree.

When it saw the traces coming out, it opened its eyes and stared quietly.

Under the moonlight, the silver brilliance shines on it, and it appears in colorful colors, as if it is covered with a divine coat.

Chen Ji said seriously: "Uncle Crow, thank you."

The old man said that Wu Wu had been cultivating with him for fifty-three years, and it was no problem for him to call him Uncle Crow. But this was the first time Wu Wu heard someone call him that, so he looked at the traces with some curiosity.

Chen Ji chuckled and said, "Master said that if it weren't for you, I would have died yesterday. I have to go out now. If you find anything unusual, please let me know. I'll be in the cloth shop next door."

The crow was silent for a moment and waved its wings to signal him to rest assured.

Chen Ji took a set of clothes from the closet, went to the kitchen to get four grain pancakes, filled a bamboo tube with water, put some cnidium in his arms, and then walked out of the hospital.

He was so seriously injured that he could only hold on to the wall and stumble forward little by little in the shadows between the houses.

Only a hundred meters away, Chen Ji was sweating in pain as if he had just run five kilometers. The wound on his thigh collapsed and his pants were soaked with blood again.

He gritted his teeth and climbed over the wall into the backyard of the cloth shop, only to see dark clouds hiding in the shadows, guarding the door of the main house.

Seeing him like this, Wu Yun meowed immediately: "What's wrong with you? Who hurt you?!"

Chen Ji leaned against the wall to take a breath and said with a sad smile: "Let's not mention this for now, is Wu Hongbiao still in there?"

Wu Yun replied: "Still inside. He was in a coma most of the time. When he woke up, he had no intention of running away. He seemed to have been waiting for you."

Chen Ji was silent. At some point, he would also wish that Wu Hongbiao had acted before, so that he could kill the other party without any psychological burden and avoid future troubles.

"Has he eaten anything today?" Chen Ji asked curiously.

Wu Yun said: "While he was unconscious, I caught a few mice and threw them next to him. He was not particular about it. When he woke up, he took a knife to skin them and ate the meat from the legs and back of the mice raw."

Chen Ji glanced into the room and saw blood on the floor, and three skinned rat corpses thrown aside.

"How does he drink water?"

Wu Yun explained: "When he was thirsty, he went to the yard and drank the water on the ground."

Chen Ji knew that Wu Hongbiao wanted to live. His desire to survive was beyond ordinary people. No wonder he could survive to this day despite being hunted.

"Wuyun, has he seen you?"

"Never seen it."

"good."

Chen Ji walked into the house. Wu Hongbiao, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was coming, he relaxed and said with a wry smile: "I thought something bad happened to you...but you don't look much better than me."

.”

Chen Ji threw the food, medicine, and clothes to Wu Hongbiao and got straight to the point: "Who is the Secretary who wants to kill you?"

"Which one?" Wu Hongbiao was shivering from the cold. He quickly put on his clothes and asked doubtfully: "There is only one Si Cao."

Chen Ji asked: "Does he wear a green-faced fang mask, is good at wielding a knife, and wears clothes with patches on his elbows?"

"Yes, that's him."

Chen Ji was 80% sure in his heart that behind the name of Si Cao, there was definitely more than one person playing this role.

Shopkeeper Yuan of Bailu Pavilion is one, and the man with the green face and fangs is another. At present, it seems that the one who wants to kill himself and Wu Hongbiao is the one who wields the knife...

"How long have you been working with this Secretary?" Chen Ji asked.

Wu Hongbiao sat up with difficulty and leaned against the wall while chewing a grain pancake: "I have worked with him for about four years and have never seen his true face. I only know that his name was Li Xilong when he was in Jing Dynasty. But when I came to Ning Dynasty,

I once heard your uncle say that this person is his old subordinate and will take care of you and me."

"Then why did he kill you?"

Wu Hongbiao choked on the grain pancake. He took the bamboo tube handed over by Chen Ji and drank a large gulp of water before expressing his speculation: "I guess he has just received the news about Jing Chao's arrival. Previously, your uncle was only reported to the imperial court.

Removed Zhongshu Province Zuocheng's

He was allowed to continue to serve as military envoy. Now even the military envoy has been withdrawn and replaced by his former political enemy Lu Guanwu. So in order to keep his position as chief minister, Li Xilong has completely turned to Lu Guanwu.

, I plan to use you and me as a proxy."

Chen Jixin said that keeping Wu Hongbiao did not disappoint him. He had a high status in the Military Intelligence Department and knew many secrets.

Li Xilong...

Chen Ji leaned against the door frame of the main room, looking a little tired.

He had already sensed that the crisis was approaching. Now that the other party could not find Wu Hongbiao, they would definitely look for opportunities to attack him.

Chen Ji looked at Wu Hongbiao sitting on the ground: "How is your health?"

Wu Hongbiao patted his chest: "I have the means to practice, so I can't die."

"I didn't realize how powerful you were..."

"You need to take care of me again," Wu Hongbiao cursed: "Yesterday I was seriously injured, and I was stuck by that son of a bitch Li Xilong. Although my credit was enough, he never gave me the next level of cultivation.

"

"What are your plans next?" Chen Ji asked curiously.

Wu Hongbiao said: "I plan to return to Jingchao. I must go back as soon as possible to ask your uncle to save my sister. I also have to help your uncle make a comeback. I must go back as soon as possible..."

The room became quiet, and the moonlight cast from behind, lengthening the traces of shadows in the room.

After a long silence, Chen Ji looked directly at Wu Hongbiao and said, "Sorry, you can't leave yet."

"What are you staying for?"

"Kill Si Cao."
