Injured tomorrow
Half an hour ago.
Leng Yue curled up on the floor, her small body throbbing with pain, making her panic. This pain would happen two or three times a day, but fortunately it didn't last long and she would fall asleep after a while.
"Open the door."
Leng Yue was really scared when she heard the voice. She hadn't even noticed anyone coming in.
With a creak, the cell door opened. Leng Yue heard another sentence: "You guys go down first," and then a burst of small footsteps gradually faded away.
A man walked into the cell, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Your wound is not far from your heart, so you will inevitably feel dizzy and have palpitations for a while. You need to recuperate for a few more days. Once the wound heals a little, the symptoms will disappear."
Leng Yue, who was dizzy and dazed, could not see his face clearly, but she could hear his voice.
"Why are you here at this time?" Leng Yue asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, just came to see you." Mingri said.
"It seems like you are worried." Leng Yue asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingri just said, "Nothing."
"It's a family matter." Leng Yue's every word struck his heart.
"Besides Master and Nong Yue, the only one who understands me best is you." Mingri sighed.
Leng Yue felt much better now. She used her hands to support herself and tried to sit up. Ming Ri slowly helped her up and put the coat he had left behind him on her back.
"Is it because of me?" Leng Yue asked.
Mingri's hands froze, and he lowered his head and said, "No, we just had a few words."
Leng Yue held Ming Ri's hand on her shoulder and said softly, "They won't really blame you."
Mingri nodded and said with a smile, "I understand, don't worry."
Leng Yue smiled and nodded, then asked, "By the way, those people before..."
"The twenty-eight people have all been placed in a secret place, and the ancient seniors are already training them." Mingri said.
"Twenty-eight??"
Mingri immediately became alert: "Is the number of people wrong?"
"Give me the list tomorrow morning," Leng Yue said in a panic. His face, already deficient in energy, turned even paler.
Mingri took out the list from his pocket: "I brought it."
Leng Yue quickly took the list and opened it. Mingri used a tinder to light a small branch to help her illuminate the room. She carefully checked the names on the list and fell into a long period of contemplation.
"How is it?" Mingri asked.
"There is indeed one missing," Leng Yue said, "There is also one called Liu Wuqing."
"Liu Wuqing, a man of both righteousness and righteousness?" Mingri said. "Legend has it that this man is both righteous and evil, but his actions are mostly sinister and despicable, so he can hardly be considered a good person. He must have offended Bantianyue somewhere, which is why he was put on the death warrant."
"Oh no, it's all my fault that I didn't investigate each of the people on the kill order one by one. I just thought that Bantianyue killed only loyal and righteous people... Alas, he got away with it." Leng Yue said.
"This is not your fault. You are not from the underworld, so how could you know so much? It seems that the most important thing now is to find Liu Wuqing as soon as possible." Mingri said.
Mingri noticed that Leng Yue's eyes looked a little strange, as if he remembered something, or as if he had made up his mind.
"Lengyue, what did you think of?" Mingri asked carefully.
"Then these twenty-eight people..."
"Don't worry, I have investigated these people and there is no problem." Mingri said.
"Well, that's good." Leng Yue pounded his legs and said, "Tomorrow, my legs are numb. Help me get up and walk."
Mingri helped her stand up slowly. Leng Yue took a few steps back and forth awkwardly, then suddenly drew Mingri's Wuwo Sword and placed it against his neck.
"Leng Yue, you can't leave here!" Ming Ri wanted to turn over and capture her, but he was holding a torch, which made his movements difficult. Not only did he fail to capture Leng Yue, but she also slashed his shoulder with a sword. In an instant, blood flowed down his gorgeous clothes.
"Throw away the torch." Leng Yue said word by word.
Mingri threw the torch on the quilt. In an instant, the soft quilt, along with the coat Mingri had left there, burst into flames.
Leng Yue used one hand to seal Mingri's upper body's blood circulation as quickly as possible, and with the other hand, he held Mingri hostage with a sword and walked out.
"Leng Yue, what do you want to do? You really can't just leave like this! You will..."
"Three things." Leng Yue interrupted him.
"The first one is Liu Wuqing, what about the second one?" Mingri asked.
"The golden Buddha has an indestructible body." Leng Yue replied.
"Do you know the secret of the Golden Buddha's indestructible body?" Mingri asked.
"And the third thing: Thank you for healing me, but please don't be so self-indulgent!" Leng Yue said.
"Leng Yue, stop lying. I know why you do this." Ming Ri's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"I respect you, so I never lie to you." Leng Yue's voice was weak, but her tone was firm.
The guards outside heard the noise inside and rushed in. At this time, the dungeon was already on fire. Yumian Haitang held the imperial teacher hostage with a sword. Everyone did not dare to act rashly and could only surround the two of them.
"Let them step back." Leng Yue said.
"Everyone back off!" Mingri shouted.
Everyone retreated outside the prison. Leng Yue carried Ming Ri out of the dungeon and said, "Tell them not to move!"
Mingri said: "Don't move!"
Leng Yue held Mingri hostage and walked forward quickly for seven or eight meters. Suddenly, he threw his sword to the ground, pushed Mingri towards the crowd, and then quickly used his lightness skills to escape.
"You will develop a chronic illness." Mingri murmured as he looked at Lengyue's receding back.
A loud shout came from the distance: "City Lord! It's bad! It's bad! The Imperial Master..."
After hearing this, Ling Xue fainted.
Sima Changfeng quickly used his Qinggong skills to bring the shouting person into the imperial study. Chou Doufu anxiously asked, "What happened to the Imperial Master?"
The jailer gasped, "Jade-faced Begonia set fire to the dungeon, injured the Imperial Preceptor, and escaped from prison!"
"How could this happen? Where is the national master now?!" Chou Doufu shouted.
"She has been sent back to the villa, to the old man on the frontier!"
"Let's go!" Chou Doufu rushed out, and Shangguan Yan followed closely.
Sima Changfeng carried Ling Xue and followed her out.
When Chou Doufu and others arrived, Ouyang Mingri's wound had been treated and he was chatting with an old man from the border. Madam Yuzhu looked at her son with a worried look on her face.
"Brother, how are you?" asked Chou Doufu.
"Reporting to the City Lord, I only suffered minor injuries." Ouyang Mingri shook his head. "It's all my fault that I remembered some clues and went to ask Yumian Haitang about them, but I accidentally let her escape."
"This woman is too cruel. Not only did she beat you, but she also burned the dungeon. Isn't this murder and arson? It's a sin," said Mrs. Yuzhu angrily.
"Brother, you can't be blamed for this. We can catch the person if he runs away. As long as you are okay, it's fine." said Chou Doufu.
Ouyang Mingri bowed his head and saluted: "I am fine, thank you, City Lord."
"Xiaoxue? What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Yuzhu then noticed the fainted Ling Xue and shook her hard.
Ling Xue woke up in a daze and shouted, "Brother! Brother...!"
"Brother, I'm fine here." Mingri said with a smile.
Ling Xue walked up to Ming Ri and saw a few traces of blood on his left shoulder. She looked at him intently and asked, "She did it, right?"
"Ling Xue..." Mingri didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Hmph!" Ling Xue wiped away her tears and ran out of the room angrily.
"Xiaoxue..." Madam Yuzhu chased after her.
Stinky Tofu said: "Brother, Ling Xue..."
"Ah," Ouyang Mingri sighed, "How could I not know what she was thinking? It's just..."
Stinky Tofu also sighed and said, "Ling Xue will understand all this one day."
Ling Xue ran back to her room sobbing and lay on the bed, crying loudly.
Madam Yuzhu came over breathlessly, touched Ling Xue's head and said softly, "Child, cry."
"Stepmother..." Ling Xue threw herself into Madam Yuzhu's arms, crying breathlessly.
Chou Doufu originally wanted to go over and take a look, and to try to comfort Ling Xue, but when he saw her crying so sadly, he couldn't bear to go forward, so he could only sigh and turn away.
Stinky Tofu said dejectedly to Sima Changfeng and Shangguan Yan, "Let's go."
"City Lord," Ouyang Mingri called out to Chou Doufu. Chou Doufu nodded in understanding, and walked into Mingri's room with Feng Yan and closed the door.
"Brother, why did Leng Yue suddenly escape from prison?" asked Chou Doufu.
Ouyang Mingri handed him the list.
"This? What's the problem?" asked Stinky Tofu.
"One person is missing." Ouyang Mingri said.
"Does Leng Yue know where this person is now?" Sima Changfeng said.
Ouyang Mingri nodded.
"Could it be..." Shangguan Yan seemed to remember something.
Ouyang Mingri nodded in agreement.
"Will Lengyue be in danger?" asked Chou Doufu.
Ouyang Mingri thought for a moment, then immediately wrote a few lines. He handed the letter to Chou Doufu and said, "City Lord, there are some things that need to be done overnight."
Stinky Tofu took the note from tomorrow, looked at it, and said, "Well, I'll send someone to do it right away."
Stinky Tofu returned to his bedroom, slumped down on the bed, and said woodenly, "I didn't expect so many things to happen tonight."
"City Lord, don't think too much and go to bed early." Shangguan Yan said.
Stinky Tofu nodded and said, "You guys should go to bed early too."
Lying in bed, Chou Doufu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Where had Leng Yue gone? Where was the missing person on the list? What would he do? Would Ban Tianyue have some new conspiracy?
And Ling Xue, she was so persistent in love, loving so painfully, she cried time and time again. Even if she would act like a child when she was angry and say some ignorant things, he could see that Ling Xue really loved Ming Ri.
Thinking of Ling Xue, Chou Doufu suddenly felt very distressed.
