Ding Yixiu and Hongyu set out from Chang'an City very early, but why did they come to Ji County now?

When they were sent out by the Internal Affairs Supervisor, they did not know who they wanted to kill. They just received the news and asked them to go north together. First, they went to Tingzhou for several days and contacted the spies of the Internal Affairs Supervisor. It took a long time, and even more so with the killers who were serving as supervisors. It was not until the end of February that the two of them were sent to Ji County.

At the city gate, Hongyu didn't bother to pay attention to Ding Yixiu and led the horse directly into the city, leaving only Ding Yixiu with a graceful back. Ding Yixiu didn't mind Hongyu's attitude towards him at all. He was too bored along the way and there was Hongyu. Jade was on the sidelines, enjoying herself a bit.

He lightly kicked his Modao with his right foot, placed it on his shoulder, and followed Hongyu into the city gate of Ji County.

Due to the presence of the Internal Attendant, all kinds of documents had been prepared, and the two of them had an unobstructed journey. After entering Ji County, the two of them came to a medicine shop in accordance with the agreement with the Internal Attendant. This is the Inner Attendant in Youzhou. A nearby stronghold. Compared with Jinyiwei and Qintianjian's powerful strongholds all over the country, the power of the Internal Affairs Supervisor was greatly reduced after leaving Chang'an City. Therefore, in Youzhou in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Internal Affairs Supervisor only had this stronghold.

Xishan Village.

After Wang Yi got up, he went outside Lu Li's room early. He didn't cook today. Because Lu Li didn't return to his room after Wang Yi made breakfast a few days ago, Wang Yi threw away all the breakfast that day. .

He looked at the flowerpot placed by Wang Yi at the door of the room. It was specially placed by Wang Yi to determine whether Lu Li had returned to his room.

The flowerpot showed no signs of being touched and had always been placed in the same place.

With a slight sigh, Wang Yi walked to the gate dejectedly. He knew that he was one step further away from leaving Xishan Village.

Wang Yi walked to the gate, looked back at the yard, shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to open the yard gate.

Suddenly, there was a creak, and someone pushed open the courtyard door from the outside. Wang Yi's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. Lu Li pushed open the door and walked in.

Lu Li lowered his head and seemed to be scarred. He was supported by Xiaomei and slowly walked into the yard.

Entering the courtyard, Xiaomei and Lu Li both saw Wang Yi who was about to go out. Wang Yi felt a little anxious when he saw Lu Li's haggard look, "What's going on, Miss Lu?"

Lu Li shook his head, his face was a little pale, and he obviously didn't want to say anything. Xiaomei, who was on the side, said apologetically to Wang Yi: "Sir, my lady is not in good health, please don't disturb her."

When Wang Yi heard what Xiaomei said, he had no choice but to move out of the way and let the two of them pass first.

When Lu Li and Xiaomei passed by Wang Yi, Wang Yi was shocked. Lu Li was already haggard to the point of dying, his face was pale without a trace of bloodshot eyes, and his eyes were red and swollen, covered with bloodstains, as if he was about to burn a candle in a strong wind. An extinguished oil lamp is in danger.

Wang Yi was stunned on the spot. He hadn't seen her for several days. Lu Li, a lovely, kind-hearted and beautiful woman, was like an old woman, with a haggard look about her body.

"what happened?"

Wang Yi frowned, looking at Lu Li, he no longer had the clear spirit he had when he first saw Lu Li.

Xiaomei looked a little sad and whispered: "My uncle is dead."

"What?" Wang Yi was confused.

I don’t understand why another uncle appeared and died.

Xiaomei looked at Wang Yi's exclamation and explained: "He is the young leader of the Northern Alliance. He is in love with my young lady. They were childhood sweethearts and were planning to get married, but who knew..."

Wang Yi was a little anxious when he heard that he took a step forward. Regardless of whether men and women were intimate or not, he grabbed Lu Li's hand and asked, "Who knew he was dead?"

The heartbroken Lu Li wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded slightly. Wang Yi took a breath of air, "Dead? Did he die of illness, or..."

Xiaomei looked at the young lady's appearance and felt a little twitching in her heart. She said softly: "He was found lying on the road and died immediately. There was one sword wound and multiple stab wounds on his body."

When someone mentioned his sadness, Lu Li's face turned green and white, and he was about to fall into Xiaomei's arms. Fortunately, Xiaomei had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly helped Lu Li who was about to fall.

Wang Yi, who was holding Lu Li's hand, was also a little frightened by Lu Li's reaction, so he helped Xiaomei assist Lu Li. Walking forward, Wang Yi found that Lu Li's face was covered with a green and black color.

"This is how to do?"

Wang Yi was also panicked. He only knew some martial arts. Even though he had read poetry and books, there were many scriptures that talked about these things. But when the things in the books really happened in front of his eyes, he was at a loss.

.

"Hurry and help me put the young lady down. The young lady is so angry and heartbroken that she is overly sad."

After all, Xiaomei had followed Lu Li for many years, and she had learned a little bit about medical science under the influence of the long period of time. Upon hearing this, Wang Yi hurriedly took off his coat and put Lu Li on top of his clothes.

Xiaomei reached down and took out a pack of silver needles from Lu Li's arms with ease, inserted several acupuncture points on Lu Li's body, pushed the uterus to draw out the blood, and finally pinched Lu Li's philtrum hard.

The blackness on Lu Li's face gradually dissipated, and he spit out a mouthful of black blood with a loud sound. His eyes were a little confused. He looked at Xiaomei in front of him, remembering the sad past, and cried hoarsely.

Xiaomei didn't care that Wang Yi was by her side, hugging the young lady and patting her back gently. Wang Yi stood there awkwardly, looking at the crying Lu Li, with regret and comfort in his eyes.

"Ms. Lu, although the weather is getting warmer, it's still a bit cold now. You were distracted just now and your own energy was affected. You'd better go to your room and rest for a while."

Lu Li first thanked Wang Yi for his kindness. He originally wanted to say thank you, but he was hit hard and was really helpless, so he left in a hurry with Xiaomei.

After Wang Yi watched Lu Li return to his room, he went to Old Man Yao's room and knocked on the door as usual. Unfortunately, Old Man Yao didn't seem to be in the room today.

So, you are free today?

He was in a happy mood, and even the slight sadness caused by what had just happened to Lu Li disappeared. There was wind on the soles of Wang Yi's feet,

When I walked out of the door and was about to show off, I heard someone say: "Boy, what are you going to do?"

Listening to Old Man Yao's familiar voice, Wang Yi's face first flashed with anger and disappointment, then he turned around, ran behind Old Man Yao with a smile, and gently squeezed the old man's shoulders and patted his back.

"Of course I'll go to the village chief. What else can I do?"

Old man Yao chuckled and glanced at Wang Yi, who was not thinking clearly, "Aren't you thinking of a way to escape?"

Wang Yiyi said righteously: "Absolutely

No, the village chief has been with me for many days, but he still can’t trust me?"

"Do not believe!"

The answer was so crisp and clear that my hand that was patting Old Man Yao's back stopped in mid-air.

Old man Yao looked at the deflated Wang Yi and felt much relieved.

Wang Yi suddenly thought of something, "Village chief, just now Miss Lu..."

"You want to ask me if I'm looking at her?"

Old man Yao seemed to have guessed that Wang Yi would ask him this question, and directly said what Wang Yi did not say later.

Wang Yi nodded and Old Man Yao said directly: "I saw it."

This time Wang Yi was a little confused. He squatted down next to old man Yao and asked: "As a master, shouldn't you comfort your apprentice at this time?"

"Is it necessary? Disciple of the old man, I know that young people are in love and can be sad for a few days. Lu Li has had a hard life since he was a child. He lost his mother when he was three years old, and his father died tragically later. To be able to be here today, his mind is better than that of ordinary people.

It needs to be stronger."

"Besides, what's the use of that bullshit young leader? The old man is unhappy with him. He came once before and the old man beat him once. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Li likes him, the old man would just send him to see his grandfather. A

What are you doing with your life, a bastard who does whatever he wants just for fame and reputation, and who relies on his family background to do whatever he wants?"

Although Wang Yi has never met the young leader, from the words of the old man Yao, Wang Yi can tell that the character and style of the young leader of the Northern League may not be very good, or very bad.

Wang Yi scratched his head. He really didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject, "Village chief, when are we going to herd sheep today?"

Old man Yao was a little surprised. Why was Wang Yi a different person today? Usually when he took Wang Yi to herd sheep, Wang Yi would find various excuses. Either he had a headache, he didn't sleep well last night, or the sheep ate yesterday.

I'm so full, I need to slow down today. What's even more annoying, Wang Yi once said that he went out to read the almanac today and said that it was not a good day to herd sheep.

Old Man Yao just missed beating Wang Yi into a goat.

It makes sense for Wang Yi to be so active, because during the most taboo period, Old Man Yao asked Wang Yi to meditate on the big rock under the mountain spring, so that Wang Yi now clearly found that his body was invisibly weak.

He became much stronger. Wang Yi, who had tasted the benefits, began to look forward to practicing every day.

"Boy, how many days have we been herding sheep?" Old man Yao took out the cigarette rod from his waist, put the cigarette bag in it, and asked Wang Yi beside him.

Wang Yi thought for a while and replied: "Maybe half a month."

Old man Yao hummed and said, "Boy, you may also feel that your body is getting stronger."

"Yes." Wang Yi directly admitted that Old Man Yao must be a master in Wang Yi's knowledge, so lying in front of such a master is not a good habit.

"Are you thinking of a way to enter the first-level realm?"

The reason why Wang Yi was so proactive today was entirely because in the recent period of practice, not only had he established himself as a second-grade master, but he had also seen the first-grade master so close at hand, which made Wang Yi overjoyed.

That’s why I said at the gate just now, proactively asking to go herding the sheep.
