Chapter 465: Return
"Prisoner?" Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this and immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"A few days ago, I attacked the people in the city lord's mansion with those two." Yu Sheng replied softly: "He was seriously injured by a master and was unconscious. I asked the secret guard to send him to prison for secret treatment. I just woke up today." While speaking, Yu Sheng glanced at Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an, who were still meditating and regulating breathing. The two did not react to Yu Sheng's words.
"What did he say?" Huang Yuchen blinked and looked at Yu Sheng. He was still a little confused about the things in the middle. He had just woken up at that time, and he felt that the house was in a mess and his whole body was weak and it was difficult to turn his head. From beginning to end, he had not seen more people. Until now, he only recognized that there was Zuo Xin.
"Shanggu, Chihong Mountain." Yu Sheng's tone was very slow, and he slowly said a place name. Huang Yuchen listened to the clouds and mist, and the two people who had already awakened were shocked when they heard this place name.
Shanggu Province, Chihong Mountain, is where the Chihong Sect sect is located, and it is no secret at all.
Yu Sheng came this time, not anything to say to Huang Yuchen. His real purpose was to convey this news to Qi and Liu.
Since Xu Xiuping suddenly appeared last time, Yu Sheng has had great doubts about this person. Coupled with Xiao Yibo's attitude of avoiding him and Xu Xiuping's actions towards the two sneak attackers, Yu Sheng has deepened his doubts. Whether for the royal palace, for Huang Yuchen, or for himself, Yu Sheng must figure out the reason.
Xu Xiuping has a very high status in the hearts of Emperor Yuanwu. After all, he is the old prince's senior brother and is rumored to be very affectionate. After hearing the news of the old prince's death, he has been missing. On the surface, they seem to be the sect that cannot continue to survive and come to surrender to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. At the beginning, Yu Sheng did not take this matter seriously at all, but now, Xu Xiuping must have other purposes, some purposes that are absolutely unaware of.
"Chirong Mountain? What is that place?" Huang Yuchen felt that he was not unfamiliar with the name. After thinking about it, he probably had an impression in his heart, but he had not yet linked all of this.
"You will know in the future." Yu Sheng smiled slightly at Huang Yuchen, and with Huang Yuchen's confused expression on his face, he stood up and went out. Only Huang Yuchen was left, sitting on the chair, with his brows slightly frowned.
Qi and Liu opened their eyes slightly, looked at each other for a moment, without any indication, closed their eyes again and slowly entered into meditation.
Yu Sheng revealed such news to the two of them just to see their reactions. Their reactions were very plain, but they were also expected.
In the dark, Yu Sheng felt that he had come into contact with something core. As long as he grasped this clue, the truth would be revealed on the day the truth would be revealed.
The next few days will be calm.
Everything in Pingjin City is proceeding in an orderly manner, and no accidents will happen again.
Huang Yuchen's body was recovering day by day, but the recovery speed was extremely slow. His physical strength still could not support too many movements. It was already the limit to barely get up and walk for a distance.
No one can do anything about such a situation. Xiao Yibo arranged for the doctor to come a few times, and Huang Yuchen's body had no problems. He also personally investigated Huang Yuchen's meridians, and there was no sign of congestion of qi and blood. Everything was normal. In the end, this situation could only be attributed to the fact that it had not recovered.
A few days later, at noon.
In front of the gate of Pingjin City, there is a bustling scene.
Since the last storm ended, the on-duty personnel at Pingjin City Gate have changed from one team to two teams. Each person entering the city needs to go through three inspections and the search is very carefully.
This is Xiao Yi's death order, and no matter who it is, he must search.
At noon on the coldest early winter, two staggering and slow-moving people appeared in front of the gate of Pingjin City.
Both of them were dressed in black, one man and one woman. The man looked haggard and had a bit of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. The woman wore a gauze on her face, and when she looked at her eyes, she looked tired.
As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards. They were obviously wearing night clothes. Such an alien appeared before the city gate, so how could it not be noticed?
Four soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded the two of them. One soldier held a long sword and shouted, "Who is it?"
The person who came was Zuo Xin and Huang Yuxi.
After thinking for a night, Chihong Sect could no longer go back, and there might be only one way to die if you go back. If you want to survive, there might be only one way, that is to enter. Pingjin City and explain the whole story clearly.
In the end, Zuo Xin decided to take Huang Yuxi back and return to Pingjin City.
The two were seriously injured and had always relied on the support of the fighting spirit in their bodies to walk so far. In addition, in the desert in winter, there was no supply at all. After a few days, Zuo Xin and Huang Yuxi were exhausted and almost relied on their will to reach the gate of Pingjin City.
Zuo Xin looked up and glanced at the soldier. He was about to speak, but he felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted. Huang Yuxi, who was standing beside him, was not much better than Zuo Xin. She only said softly: "Please see the city lord." He also fainted.
Seeing this, several soldiers looked at each other and immediately reported to their superiors about this situation. The captain responsible for the defense of the city gate today immediately ordered the two of them to rest near the city gate, and immediately ordered someone to notify the city lord Xiao Yibao. He did not dare to make any decisions on such matters.
Xiao Yibo was inspecting the military camp at this moment. After learning about the situation, he rushed back as soon as possible. Seeing the two people who were unconscious on the city gate leaning against the city wall, he frowned. Zuo Xin, he naturally recognized that in the recruit camp, this person had outstanding cultivation and ability. Originally, Xiao Yibo wanted to take him by his side to be a side general and let him serve the royal palace in the future, but he did not expect that this person was a person who had been ambushing in Pingjin City for many years. He took advantage of that storm and almost killed Huang Yuchen.
"Take it back!" Xiao Yibo gave a cold order, and then entered the city gate without looking back and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
The soldiers under his command did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately carried the two of them and quickly sent them to the city lord's mansion.
Yu Sheng was not in the city at this moment, and he arranged the follow-up work process at the city wall. Xiao Yibo sent his personal soldiers around him to find Yu Sheng as soon as possible and told him about the return of the two assassins. Yu Sheng immediately turned back when he heard this.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yibo and Yu Sheng sat in the foreground of the city lord's mansion again, and their faces were very bad.
"You are sure, is this really related to Chihong Sect?" Xiao Yibo's voice was not loud, but he could hear that he was in a very bad mood now, but he just had no way to vent.
"Every clue points to Chihong Sect, it shouldn't be wrong." Yu Sheng replied softly: "But Chihong Sect is far away and it is a large sect, so it is impossible to send people to investigate and confirm it."
"Damn Duanmu Huai, it's so lingering!" Xiao Yibo slapped the armrest of the chair hard, and the whole chair was slapped by him. "Why are you a decades old, why are you so uneasy?"
"This matter can be confirmed from the mouth of the undead assassin, but I don't understand it." Yu Sheng frowned and said, "They only asked three people with low cultivation to do this. Do they really plan to take Yuchen away?"
"What do you say about the assassin?"
"Not too many words." Yu Sheng replied: "There are only five words back and forth. Shanggu, Chihong Mountain. And I am in a state that is very wrong. I think it is not very normal. In such an environment, his performance is as always, as if he is wandering."
"Ha, that's right!" Xiao Yibo sneered and said, "This is the method of their Chihong Sect. You don't need to ask about this assassin. He was cast by someone. After these words, there will be no new words. Unless he is cracked, the same will be true even if he is killed."
Yu Sheng was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "How did Uncle Xiao know?"
Xiao Yibo glanced at Yu Sheng, then sighed deeply, and said, "I have traveled around the world and fought in all directions in my life. There are only two people who really defeated me, one is my eldest brother, Dongwang Huangyeyu, and the other is Duanmuhuai of Chihong Sect."
"After losing to him when I was young, I have been trying to collect information about the Chihong Sect. Therefore, I know that there is a magic trick in the Chihong Sect that can control people's minds. This magic is extremely vicious and Chihong Sect should not be used frequently, but there have always been rumors like this. But I don't want to fall down now, and I have encountered the formation."
When Yu Sheng heard this, he fell into silence.
Yu Sheng knew very little about Xiao Yibo's past, only knowing that he was the sworn brother of the old prince, and he was unruly. He only listened to the old prince's words in his life, followed the old prince's leader, and was decisive in his life, not paying attention to the details and doing things without reason, and never caring about what others think. But he didn't want such a person, and he also had deep secrets in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that things were in front of him, such a thing might have been brought to the grave.
"I heard that you and the others have been staring at Xu Xiuping's two disciples, and I told you together." Seeing Yu Sheng silent, Xiao Yibo continued: "It's true that Xu Xiuping is the elder brother's senior brother, and his cultivation is unfathomable. However, this person's character and scheming are so profound that it makes people feel terrible. What he wants to do is absolutely impossible to do so obviously. It is impossible for you to learn the secrets later through his two disciples."
The matter had already reached this point, Yu Sheng simply asked, "Uncle Xiao, do you know what happened between Xu Xiuping and the pursuit of the Rizong? When I saw two assassins attacking his two disciples, they were fatal, and such emotions could not be pretended. And I probably knew that their purpose must be to force Yuchen, but they were afraid that it would be enough to determine Yuchen's location. If it weren't for the secret room suddenly taking action, we would probably have no way to detect it."
When Xiao Yibo heard this, he closed his eyes slightly, and then said softly: "I don't know this, nor do I want to know it. Xu Xiuping, the farther away from him, the better. My elder brother decided to go down the mountain and return to the court to be the Eastern King because of Xu Xiuping."
"We don't have to care about the past, but now..." Yu Sheng felt that things were a little confused. Before he could figure out the identity of the man in black and the man in brocade robe, Xu Xiuping and the three assassins alone had already made Yu Sheng feel overwhelmed.
"The two groups of people who came that night must have been together, they were not together." Xiao Yibo looked at Yu Sheng and said in a deep voice: "If it was together, with our garrison power at that time, let alone protecting Yuchen, whether we can protect ourselves is a problem."
"I think so too." Yu Sheng nodded and said, "It's just the identities of these people..."
