Xiaogu's eyesight at night is very poor. In the past, Chi would not let him fly after the sun went down. The situation tonight was special, and Xiaogu could barely maintain it.

Although its eyes are red, the fear of the night deep in its heart has not faded at all.

After picking up Jin'er and Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi at the river embankment on the outskirts of the city, everyone stopped flying. Instead, under the guidance of Jin'er, they hid in a dense forest by the Lingshui River.

Halfway through the long night, there was no sound except for the mountain breeze that brought bursts of coolness and the croaking of frogs along the Lingshui River.

Jin'er hugged her lost sister and said softly: "No need to be afraid, no need to be afraid anymore..."

Then he turned to Zhuo Zhan and his entourage and said, "This forest is a dense forest of thorns that farmers in the mountains only enter when collecting herbs. It is very remote. Xiu and I only learned about it when we were children, when we came to play with the neighbor's herbalist.

Medicine farmers who are not familiar with the road sometimes easily get lost, and Leng Lingguo's useless soldiers will not be able to find this place no matter what, so we will make do with it here tonight."

Duan Fei tied Shen Ziyou, whom he had captured along the way, to a tree trunk.

Zhuangzi built a warm bonfire in the middle of the open space.

Duan Yue helped Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi, who were running around, find a dry place to settle down, and kneaded their stiff legs.

Zhuo Zhan and Chi placed the injured Chen Yuyu under a relatively dry tree.

However, as soon as Zhuo Zhan stood up, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if lightning struck his whole body. Zhuo Zhan immediately held on to the tree trunk and frowned in pain. Fortunately, the pain disappeared after a few seconds, but he still felt

Zhuo Zhan broke into a cold sweat from the pain.

Seeing this, Chi hurriedly stepped forward and held Zhuo Zhan's other arm: "Brother Zhuo Zhan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay... Maybe it was because I used too much witchcraft power when I was at Caicheng Gate and my energy was exhausted." Zhuo Zhan waved his hand and said calmly.

Chi Wei frowned slightly and stared at Zhuo Zhan anxiously: "Is it like this if you use up your physical strength? When you were in Yangshan before, you and brother Feng Po practiced at Yunhai every day, and the intensity of the use of witchcraft was no less than this time...

"

"Okay, silly girl, don't think too much. I said it's okay. It's definitely okay. Let's go and see Teng Feng's condition. He is in more danger than anyone else here."

Zhuo Zhan patted Chi on the back, comforted him, turned around and walked with Chi towards Teng Feng not far away.

By the light of the fire, everyone could clearly see that Teng Feng, who had swallowed the healing red dates before, had some blood on his face.

Both Xiu'er and Jin'er stayed by Teng Feng's side. Jin'er's husband owned a medicine shop and knew a little bit about medicine. At this time, she was carefully digging out arrowheads for Teng Feng with a red-hot dagger, and using Zhuo Zhan and them

The iodophor was given to wipe Teng Feng's wound.

However, many wounds are deep and cannot be healed by just applying iodophor. Xiuer shed tears while wiping Teng Feng's wound.

The Sisi girl Mingying who had been with them all the way here, after chatting with Chi for a while, got up and walked over to Xiu'er.

She took out a small blood-red gourd from her waist and handed it to Xiu'er: "This is the witch medicine prepared by the master before his death. It has miraculous effects on treating trauma. My wife asked me to carry this with me because she was afraid that I would be in danger.

, now give it to you for him to use."

Xiu'er took the red gourd with both hands in surprise and bowed to Mingying repeatedly to thank her.

Xiu'er and Jin'er applied medicine to Teng Feng together. Miraculously, the deep wounds healed themselves quickly with miraculous effects visible to the naked eye within a few moments of applying the medicine. Some small wounds even healed.

Completely healed.

Everyone was extremely surprised, lamenting the witchcraft and virtues of Gao Qiliang, the great witch Zhu, and regretting his unjust and premature death.

Seeing that Teng Feng's injury had improved, Mingying stood up and said goodbye to everyone: "My benefactors, please forgive me for seeing you off so far. I will rush back while it is dark and blend into the crowd entering the city. My wife is still waiting for me to return to my life.

.”

"I have thanked Mrs. Gao and Miss Mingying for their generous rescue. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely visit Madam in person to express my gratitude." Zhuo Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and said sincerely.

"There's no need to thank you. The red shells you left for us will never be used up in a few years. You also helped Madam teach this abominable Shen Ziyou a lesson. It's up to us to thank you. No more words, let's chat again

It’s bright, goodbye.”

Mingying said that and quickly climbed up the tree. After leaping over a few branches, she stretched out her wings and flew up into the air in the direction of Leng Lingguo.

"Brother Zhuo Zhan, which direction shall we go at dawn tomorrow?" Chi asked Zhuo Zhan carefree while feeding Chen Yuyu water.

"The recent Chuanshan collection." Zhuo Zhan said calmly.

"What, you're going shopping?" Chi's eyes widened in shock, and Chen Yuyu, who was drinking water next to her, also spat out a mouthful of water.

"I don't have the leisure time," Zhuo Zhan said angrily, "Don't forget, Chuanshanji is a lawless place beyond the control of the government. Let's hide in Chuanshanji to avoid being chased by Leng Lingguo.

After the soldiers are chasing you, you can go and see if there is any Ku family's magic weapon shop.

I'm really worried about letting Jin'er and the others take the seriously injured Teng Feng back to Qingcheng alone. With this token, I can ask the descendants of the Ku family to escort them all the way back." Zhuo Zhan said as he took out a small wooden piece from his waistband.

Token.

"I'll go, I've forgotten about this. It's not good. Isn't this what the old man with walnut skin gave you in the magic weapon shop? Okay, Zhuo Zhan, you can summon people, I admire you, Zhuang

I feel inferior to myself." Zhuangzi grabbed the wooden sign and looked left and right curiously.

Zhuangzi is usually a righteous person in school, helping others when there is injustice. He often fights with people, is often called upon by parents, and of course he also accepts younger brothers. But the younger brothers he accepts are far from being able to get such a token.

It's so easy to come at a moment's notice that I'm really envious of Zhuo Zhan's token.

"Brother Zhuo Zhan, you are so thoughtful! Then I will go to Chuanshanji tomorrow and buy animal skins and pens. I will also write a handwritten letter to my elder brother and ask him to send someone down the mountain to help Jin'er and the others settle down. By the way,

Yuyu, where do you live?" Chi turned to Chen Yuyu and asked.

"I...I don't have a family anymore, and I don't have any relatives anymore..." Chen Yuyu once again thought of her mother and eldest brother who died after trying poison, and lowered her head sadly.

"Then do you want to go to Yang Mansion to work?" Chi looked at Chen Yuyu excitedly.

Chen Yuyu raised her head and nodded confusedly: "You are my savior, just let the third princess arrange it."

"What's wrong with being kind? Do you know that we don't have slaves in Yangshan? When you get there, you can cancel your slave status and no longer have to worry about being caught or sold.

By the way, there is Teng Feng! Teng Feng is a talented person. If he recovers from his injury, it would be a good destination to be assigned to the army as a lieutenant general or general affairs officer." Chi tilted his head and looked at the moon, intoxicated by his own wisdom.

Under arrangement.

"You, you, you never forget to look for talents for Brother Chishu. You are such a good Chinese sister."

Zhuo Zhan looked at Chi with adoring eyes. He liked all the unexpected little ideas, thoughts, and actions of this girl. Her thoughts were so pure and transparent, yet so unpredictable. It was like eating a box of assorted chocolates, obviously all of them

You can see the color and appearance, but you never know what the next one will taste like when you put it in your mouth.

"Yes, yes, Chuanshanji is a good place, and we can change our clothes. I'm still wearing men's clothes, and brother Zhuo Zhan, the sleeves of your clothes are all torn like this, and there are also clothes of brother Xiu'er and Teng Feng.

, are all in tatters. By the way, there is also Yuyu, who needs to be dressed up beautifully." Duan Yue abruptly inserted into the conversation between Zhuo Zhan and Chi.

Duan Yue intended to interrupt the ambiguous and harmonious conversation between the two of them, and at the same time draw Zhuo Zhan's attention to himself. But buying new clothes was really not a good topic, and Zhuo Zhan seemed to have no interest in it.

He just responded with a "hmm" and said nothing.

The atmosphere that had been warm just now suddenly dropped to freezing point, followed by an awkward silence.

Zhuo Zhan looked up aimlessly and looked around. This brief embarrassment suddenly reminded him of something. He suddenly stood up and walked straight towards Shen Ziyou who was tied to the tree trunk.

"Your life is in our hands now. If I am happy, I will let you go after we reach the safe zone. If I am not satisfied, I will kill you in a minute. If I ask a question, you answer it. Don't be slippery.

Boss, I don’t want to hear nonsense." Zhuo Zhan threatened coldly.

Shen Ziyou's eyes were still covered. He tried hard to raise his nose, trying to see Zhuo Zhan's expression clearly through the gap under the cloth, but he still couldn't see anything.

"Five years ago, you made an agreement with two foreigners with tall noses and deep eyes, blond hair and colorful eyes, and conspired to kill Zhu Gao Qiliang, the great witch at that time, right?"

"You...how do you know?" Shen Ziyou didn't expect Zhuo Zhan to know this. He was so frightened that he trembled and his legs kicked to the ground involuntarily.

"I told you I don't want to listen to nonsense." Zhuo Zhan said indifferently, and his right hand suddenly froze, instantly freezing Shen Ziyou's legs while he was kicking the ground.

Everyone was also stunned and looked here blankly.

Shen Ziyou, whose lower body was frozen, screamed in horror, causing a group of resting birds to fly away.

"Shut up, I'm asking you something." Whenever there was something involving the death of Zhuo Zhan's parents, he was always so cold and serious, and so stubborn that it was scary.

Shen Ziyou quickly shut up and nodded nervously: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Very good, then let me ask you again, the agreement you made with them is that they will help you get rid of Gao Qiliang and give you the black witch secrets you want, right?"

Shen Ziyou nodded vigorously again: "Yes, yes!"

"What I want to know is, what was it that they asked you to send out your wizards to help them find it?"

Zhuo Zhan stared at Shen Ziyou with bright eyes. At this moment, the established fact that he was one step closer to the truth made him extremely excited.

"What they are looking for is Bai...ah!"

What shocked Zhuo Zhan was that as soon as Shen Ziyou opened his mouth, he let out a painful "Ah" and then froze. When Zhuo Zhan pushed him in panic, he discovered that he had no heartbeat or breathing.

It has become a corpse.

Zhuo Zhan's expression suddenly changed. He picked up the small oil lamp Chi handed over and carefully examined Shen Ziyou's body by the light of the fire.

After a careful search, Zhuo Zhan found a small wound of more than half an inch on Shen Ziyou's neck below his ear, and a delicate dart tail was still exposed outside the flesh.

Zhuo Zhan pulled out this tiny dart, handed it to Chi, and then turned to Duan Yue in a hurry: "Xiao Yue, find someone!"

Duan Yue received the order, his pupils turned silver-white in an instant, and he patrolled the surroundings and the air intently, shaking his head helplessly: "No... no one... escaped too fast..."

Chi sniffed the dart, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "I smelled it, it's the fetal poison of a pregnant snake. This kind of poison is very rare and difficult to obtain. Just a little bit of it can kill someone if it's stained with blood.

"

Zhuo Zhan's face darkened and he was shocked: "Quickly, pack your things and leave immediately!"
