Bloodkiller - Chapter 26

Just as Yao Chuan was thinking to himself, the disciple who suddenly listened came to report it. The man gasped and said anxiously: “ Master, Senior Brother! There was a person outside the door. It was seen that the waist card belonged to the chief rudder, and he was also injured

Yao Chuan’s expression changed. Before he could finish speaking, Gu Zi rushed out of the gate, and Lin Yi followed closely behind.

In the night, there was only a red horse stationed outside the rudder door. There was a man lying down on the horse, who was being tightly surrounded by several disciples in the rudder door.

Yao Chuan was shocked when he saw it, just because this horse was his birthday gift to his junior sister. The horse was named Yanying. Because its color was like a blazing flame and galloping like a shadow, he loved it as soon as he saw it. He also thought that his junior sister was about to turn fifteen, so he spent a lot of effort to transport the horse from Yongzhou back to Bianjing and send it to his junior sister. Birthday greetings. Fang Ruyun also loved it very much when he saw it. He would ride this horse when traveling and never borrow it from others.

At this time, Lin Yi had also rushed behind him. When he saw this horse, he was stunned. Then he saw Yao Chuan moving forward and rushing straight towards the man on the ground.

He rushed to the side of the man and took a closer look. He was wearing a night robe and had more than ten guts slashed all over his body. The injury was the most serious on his chest, and he was gurgling with bl00d, as if he had been wounded by a sword.

Yao Chuan took a breath of cold air, patted the man on the cheek, and said anxiously: “ junior brother, junior brother! What happened to you? ”

It turned out that this person was not Fang Ruyun, but the youngest son Li Er. He was seriously injured and lost a lot of bl00d. He was already unconscious at the moment.

Yao Chuan had no time to take care of him, so he hurriedly hugged his junior brother and walked into the rudder, shouting: “ uncle —— uncle, come quickly! Junior brother, he was seriously injured! ”

Lin Yi frowned tightly. Before he walked back to the rudder, several disciples surrounding the door in reverse asked: “, what happened to the junior brothers just now? Please tell me in detail. ”

Several disciples looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward, handed over his hand and said: “ Return to Shaozhai Lord, I am on duty tonight. About two quarters of an hour ago, I suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. The horse —— was in front of me. It suddenly stopped in front of the rudder door. In order to prevent any changes, my brothers took weapons and came forward. When I got closer, I found that there was still a person on the horse’s back. The man was lying on the horse’s back motionless, his body was soaked in bl00d, and it was very scary to look at him. I hurriedly put it down and found out that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. He was still a little conscious at the time. He grabbed my hand and talked intermittently. I leaned closer and only heard him say ‘. Uncle. . . . . ’, I can’t hear the rest. ”

A person on his side also nodded and echoed: “ Indeed, as senior brother said, we groped on him for a while and found the bow card of the chief rudder, so we hurriedly reported to the master. Just as we were about to send him to the house, senior brother Yao rushed over. ”

These junior brothers were still young, but they still encountered such a situation again, and they were still a little panicked. Lin Yi comforted him a few words, and then ordered them to take Yan Ying back to the rudder and take care of him, and then walked into the door.

Li Er was carried into a guest room by Yao Chuan. When Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered, he saw Yun Fengtian diagnosing him. Yao Chuan stood aside, his face full of worry. He looked up at Lin Yi and saw the man waving to him. Although he didn’t understand his intention, he still followed him out of the room.

The two stood outside the door, and Lin Yi asked softly: “ What did Uncle Yun Shi say? How was your junior brother injured? ”

Yao Chuan sighed, his eyebrows unabated with sorrow, and said: “ The injury is quite serious. Fortunately, there is no worry about life, but a sword in his chest is a bit tricky. In addition, the younger junior brother lost a lot of bl00d after being bumped for several days. . . . . Uncle Master bandaged his wound and gave him bl00d-supplementing and qi-enhancing medicine. He probably rested for several months.

Lin Yiwei said: “ Uncle Yun Shishu has superb medical skills and will definitely be able to cure him. ”

He was silent for a moment, and then informed Yao Chuan of what Shicai asked. After hearing this, the man suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: “ What must have happened in the chief rudder! ”

After Yao Chuan finished speaking, his face turned gloomy. He was worried about the safety of his master, and he also thought that his junior brother had not recovered from his serious injury, and he was anxious and dry for a while.

While the two were talking, they heard Yun Fengtian’s voice coming from inside the house: “ Chuan’er is coming quickly, Sanniu’er is awake! ”

The two of them quickly entered the house. As a result, Li Er half-opened his eyes. Although he still looked empty, he was much better than before. As soon as he saw Yao Chuan, he was so excited that he gasped. He also stood up with his hands and a half, wanting to talk to Yao Chuan.

Yao Chuan quickly approached, followed Junior Brother Shun’s chest with his hands, and said sadly: “ San Niu’er, don’t panic, Senior Brother is here, who is the evil person who hurt you like this!? You tell your senior brother, senior brother will definitely avenge you! ”

Li whispered with a cry and said intermittently: “ senior brother. . . . . . . . Leave me alone, Master, Master. . . . . Go back to Bianjing quickly! Otherwise, the double dragon gate may be taken by others! ”

Yao Chuan was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to have an attack, he felt someone gently pressing him on his shoulder. Lin Yi’s voice came from behind. The man said: “ Brother Yao, don’t worry, let Junior Brother Li explain the reason in detail first. ”

He took a glass of warm water in his hand at some point and handed it to Yao Chuan. Yao Chuan understood, helped Li Er, and slowly fed him to drink. After drinking, the man turned his head and looked at Lin Yi, with a hesitant look on his face, but he heard his senior brother say: “ Saniuer, what happened in the helm after I left? You tell me from beginning to end. ”

After hearing this, Li Er had no choice but to nod and respond. He coughed while talking, and his tone was quite slow. It took him a long time to finish:

“The senior brother has been away from home for more than half a year. I don’t know what happened in the chief helmsman. It’s also strange to say. . . . . . . . First, half a year ago, the master suddenly blamed the second senior brother. ——. He has always loved him and rarely scolded him, but this time he suddenly blamed him with his family rules. Hehem. . . . . . Because I was young, Master didn’t blame me, he just reprimanded me a few words. . . . . At that time, Uncle Luan of Qingzhou happened to be bedridden, so Master sent his second senior brother to Qingzhou. ”

Hearing this, Yao Chuan frowned and asked: “ junior brother, how did the master scold you at that time? ”

Li Er curled his lips, he was always young, and he felt a little aggrieved when he mentioned this matter. After a while, he calmed down and said angrily: “ Master said that the second senior brother made a big mistake. As a teacher, he must discipline him strictly. Let us stop talking to him, ahem. . . . . But the senior brother made something wrong and he refused to say it. ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he suddenly interjected: “ Ruyun can intercede for Ye Xiangming? ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: “ this. . . . . It doesn’t seem to be there, ah, yes! Senior sister was not in charge at the time. I heard from Master that she went to Yaocheng to visit her uncle. —— means Uncle Yun! ”

Yun Fengtian was on the side and heard the words scolding: “ What nonsense did the stupid boy say? When did Ruyun come to my place? ”

Seeing that he didn’t believe it, Li Er was a little anxious. He was still seriously injured and coughed twice as soon as he wanted to reply.

Yun Fengtian hurriedly stroked his back and said distressedly: “ Sanniu’er said slowly, how did you learn from your senior brother’s quick temper. ”

Li Er said aggrievedly: “Uncle “, I didn’t say anything nonsense, ahem. . . . . Master told us this at that time! ”

Yao Chuan frowned and said nothing after hearing this, just because he knew that Fang Ruyun was born with an air disease and rarely went out far from childhood to adulthood. When the junior sister was young, she was close to her and often begged her to take her out to see the world. However, when he cared about Ruyun’s body, he was afraid of Master scolding her and always refused coldly. After going back and forth, Ruyun’s heart was hurt. The relationship between the two was no better than before, and Master loves his daughter as much as his destiny, and it is even more impossible for the junior sister to visit relatives alone.

Yao Chuan thought of this and felt that this matter was even more strange. If Ruyun had not been in Yaocheng at that time, where would he be? Why did Master lie to his junior brothers?

At this moment, I heard Lin Yi ask again: “ Junior Brother Li, you just said that there are many strange things in the chief rudder. What happened after Uncle Fang Shi punished Ye Xiangming? ”

Li Er still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Lin Yi. He didn’t know why this person was with his senior brother. The two were obviously very close to each other, but hadn’t they been disgusted with each other before? But since the senior brother had changed his mind about him, he just believed him.

He then nodded and said: “ is good. Senior sister came back ten days later, but after that she rarely went out and didn’t talk to us. One time I saw her. . . . . I just felt that her face was white and scary, as if she had something on her mind. My senior sister asked me about my senior brother at that time. ”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and asked: “ What she asked was Ye Xiangming? ”

Unexpectedly, Li Er shook his head and said slowly: “ No, she asked the senior brother. . . . . She asked me if I knew where the senior brother was and how long it would take to return to the helm? ”

After hearing his description, Yao Chuan felt ashamed and painful. Even though he no longer has feelings for his younger junior sister, she still saw the big little girl since she was a child. Ruyun must have encountered difficulties before she was eager to find her. But where was he then?

“I, I shook my head, and the senior sister stopped talking. She just asked me to leave first and go find my father if I had anything to do. Then later. . . . . Just more than a month ago, Master received several letters from the world, and I don’t know who the sender was. . . . . . . . I just remember that Master was worried and restless after receiving the letter. I went to Yaocheng in a few days. ”

Yao Chuan and Lin Yi looked at each other. Naturally, the two of them knew about this. Counting the time, it happened to be when Fang Zhentian asked the two of them to explore the bl00d-drinking knife that appeared in Qian’s pawn shop. Yao Chuan asked again: “What happens after that, how can Master be injured? ”

Li Er suddenly looked sad when he heard this. He bit his lower lip tightly and said with hatred: “ is the fifth senior brother! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, Master was fine some time ago, but in the middle of last month, his body suddenly felt unwell, and the illness was menacing. Master fell down in a few days, lying in bed, unable to even speak! I. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I have been worried about Master, so I visit him every day and often meet him. . . . . . Just ten days ago, I met Senior Brother Wu in the garden. He seemed to be talking to someone. When I got closer, the person dodged away. The fifth senior brother was a little panicked. He was holding medicine in his hand at that time. When he saw me suddenly appear, some of the medicine spilled out. He didn’t care and just left in a hurry. I felt something was wrong. . . . . I waited there for a while, but saw that the place where the medicine was spilled was dark. After a night, I went to see it again. . . . . . . . . . . . I saw that the weeds around me were much withered! ”

Yao Chuan slammed the bed board and incised his teeth: “ Zhou Xing is this beast! Master treated him like a parent-child, but he did such a poisonous thing! Junior brother, later on, Master, he. . . . . ”

He said that his voice was already trembling slightly. Lin Yi had never seen him lose his composure like this, and he felt heartbroken. Fortunately, Li Er said: “ me. . . . . . . . . . I did not tell the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother, they were close to the fifth senior brother, and I was afraid. . . . . I stayed outside the master’s room for the next two days. I don’t know why the fifth senior brother no longer appears. ”

But then he showed a trace of fear and said, “Just seven days ago, I was still keeping watch outside Master’s room when I was attacked by a masked man in black! I only blame myself for not being skilled enough to protect Master… cough cough… That man was incredibly powerful, wielding a sword I couldn’t even name, and he completely overwhelmed me. After barely exchanging a dozen moves, I was gravely injured and on the brink of death—just then, a hidden weapon shot out from Master’s room and struck the man’s left shoulder. He seemed startled and, without bothering with me any further, fled in a hurry.”

“I was both shocked and relieved at the time, thinking it was Master who saved me, so I forced myself up and entered the room. But to my surprise, Master was still unconscious. However, there was a note left on the bed, instructing me to go to Yao City… cough cough… and find Uncle Yun.”

Li Er, his hands disabled, fumbled for a while before finally pulling out a bloodstained note from his chest.

The handwriting on it was already somewhat blurred. The others stared closely and were able to make out the words: “Go to Yao City. Yun Fengtian can be trusted.”

The writing was crooked, as if deliberately written with the non-dominant hand.

After reading it, Lin Yi rubbed his forehead in thought and then asked, “Then why did you arrive riding Flame Shadow? And where is Yun now? Furthermore, the main headquarters of Shuanglong Sect is tightly guarded—how could Zhou Xing have poisoned the master so easily, while your fierce fight with the black-clad man didn’t alert anyone?”

His words, sharp and filled with veiled suspicion, made Yao Chuan feel uneasy, though he knew the questions were not unreasonable. He held his temper and waited to hear how Li Er would respond. But to their surprise, Li Er grew rather agitated and exclaimed, “Cough cough—that’s another strange matter! Ever since Senior Brother Ye left half a year ago, the number of guards at headquarters has been steadily declining. I didn’t notice at first, but when Master fell gravely ill, I realized something was off. The night I was attacked, there wasn’t a single person who came to help! I was panicked and terrified… worried that man would return to kill me, so I went to the stables to get a horse. Only after I rode out did I realize it was Senior Sister’s horse, Flame Shadow. But… cough cough… I’m thankful for that horse. I followed the main road south, surviving on wild fruits when hungry. Eventually, I fainted—but Flame Shadow knew the way and brought me to Yao City. I… I don’t know where Senior Sister is either. Come to think of it, she’s been barely seen over the past half-year. The last time I saw her was more than a month ago.”

Lin Yi calmly asked, “When you went to the stables to get a horse, did you make a selection?”

“No, it was dark in the stable. I couldn’t see clearly. I only led the horse closest to the outside, which happened to be the flame shadow. . . . ”

Lin Yi nodded slightly, looked at Yao Chuan, and said with some meaning: “ If it weren’t for Yan Ying’s knowledge of the road, the life of his junior brother would not be saved. ”

After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Er felt even more aggrieved. He was still afraid when he recalled what happened that night. At this moment, he was already crying and choked up at Yao Chuan, saying, “ senior brother! I don’t know how many people in the chief rudder are still interested in the master. If you don’t go back, I’m afraid of the master. . . . . ”

Yao Chuan helped Li Er lie down. His eyes were red and he gnashed his teeth and said: “ Junior Brother, don’t worry, I will rush back to the chief rudder tonight! ”

Lin Yi’s eyes moved, but he knew that Yao Chuan’s hatred was strong at this time, so he stopped talking and stopped Yao Chuan after Li Er fell asleep. When Yun Fengtian saw that the two of them had something to say, he tucked Li Er in the quilt, turned around and walked away silently.

Lin Yi said: “ let the junior brother rest first. Brother Yao, let’s go to the hospital to talk in detail. ”

Yao Chuan nodded silently, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he said in vain: “ I packed my things first and ran back to Bianjing along the path. Lin Yi, this matter is very urgent, I. . . . . If something happens to Master, I will be blamed for it! ”

Lin Yi said coldly: “ Brother Yao, what does this mean? Do you think I will prevent you from returning to Beijing? Uncle Fang Shishu has been very kind to me, and Shuanglongmen has accumulated karma over generations, so how can I sit idly by and ignore it. It’s just that there are still doubts about this matter. You are so anxious, you are afraid that you will be ambushed by the enemy. —— Brother Yao, listen to me and think about it in the long term. ”

Yao Chuan originally clenched his fists and deflated after hearing him say: “ is my impatience. I wonder what you think? ”

Who expected Lin Yi to ask: “ Before I say it, there is another question, and I hope Brother Yao will make it clear, —— what is it about you going to Lingnan? Why is it delayed so long there? ”

Yao Chuan led the army in early February and did not rush from Lingnan to Yaocheng until June. He actually stayed there for nearly four months.

Yao Chuan frowned tightly and was a little hesitant when answering: “ This matter is also very strange. What I went to Lingnan to deal with was just a private matter between local gangs. It doesn’t sound serious. Lingnan is far away from Bianjing. Logically speaking, there is no need for the chief helmsman to come forward. He only asked Yongzhou to send people there. Master insisted on letting me go. This delayed the road for more than a month, and I arrived in Lingnan. Later, I discovered that the gang’s private fight was extremely trivial. The two of them continued to fight, but my mediation failed for a long time. Finally, using the Double Dragon Order as evidence, the two of them were able to reconcile. But after that, the heads of both parties seemed to have changed. They insisted on keeping me in Lingnan for a little longer. I couldn’t shirk anything. Later, I received a letter from Master, and I was able to get away. ”

Lin Yi stood opposite him and said slowly: “ Did Uncle Shi deliberately turn you away? After you left, Ye Xiangming was transferred to Qingzhou. It seems that this matter was very critical half a year ago, but Uncle Fang did not mention a word to you and me. I think this matter is not related to the bl00d-drinking knife, but more like a private matter inside the door. ”

Yao Chuan pondered for a long time and never spoke.

Lin Yi looked up at him for a moment, then paced left and right, as if considering how to speak, and then continued: “ In fact, . . . . . You were sent to Lingnan about five months ago. I went to Bianjing to talk to Uncle Shi. ——

“I will no longer hide it from you. In fact, I went there to break off my engagement with Yunmei. ”

Yao Chuan looked at him with wide eyes. Lin Yi chuckled and said: “ I think you can also guess that my father was engaged to Yunmei for me before he died of illness. He really wanted to use the power of the double dragon gate to protect me. Uncle Fang Shi and my father had a long-lasting relationship, and he was extremely affectionate, so she naturally agreed to this matter. Yunmei. . . . Yunmei also understands the key points. ”

“I mentioned to Uncle Shi before that I would break off the engagement when Yunmei grew up, and he had already agreed. But five months ago, I mentioned this matter to Uncle Shi again, but he said that there was not much peace in the world, and he would talk about it later. ”

When Yao Chuan heard this, he thought of Lin Yi provoking me about the engagement when the two of them first met in Yaocheng. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly: This man provokes me about the marriage from time to time. He is really naughty.

I heard Lin Yi say again: “ Uncle Shi was full of sadness at that time, so I asked him a few questions. . . . . He never told me about Ye Xiangming, but told me a story. Brother Chuan, I told you before that I had something to hide from you, and that was it. ”

Yao Chuan was confused and asked: “ what story? Is it related to me? ”

Lin Yi didn’t answer, just stared into his eyes and said: “ I shouldn’t have mentioned this matter, it’s just that Uncle Shi was harmed by an adulterer. I. . . . . I think about it, but I still think I should tell you. Uncle Shi didn’t say it bluntly at the time, but I guess it had something to do with your life experience. Brother Chuan, it is said that Li Wunai, the founder of Shuanglongmen in the world, was the palace guard of the former dynasty ——”

He looked left and right, then took a step forward to get close to Yao Chuan, and asked softly in his ear: “ Have you ever thought that when he escaped from the palace, he really only brought two bl00d-drinking knives? ”

Yao Chuan breathed suddenly and quickly. He looked into Lin Yi’s eyes, eager for this person to solve his doubts. Lin Yi said vaguely: “ When I heard this, I was also panicked. I asked myself several times why Uncle Fang Shishu was willing to inform me of such secrets, but I didn’t want Yunmei to break her engagement with me. Later I thought that it might be because the Lin family is a hero of today. If the secret affairs of Shuanglongmen are exposed to the world one day, maybe I still have a glimmer of hope. ”

Yao Chuan suddenly grabbed Lin Yi’s wrist. The two of them were very close, and the heat was close at hand. But Lin Yi’s words made him fall into an ice cave. He said: “ Uncle Shi told me that when Li Wu escaped from the palace, he still had a child in his hand. ”

Yao Chuan suddenly let go and took two steps back. He said intermittently: “ you, you mean. . . . ”

“Who else can make the imperial guards fight their way outside the palace? Can only be the orphan of the previous dynasty. ”

Lin Yi sighed: “ Uncle Shi only said briefly at that time, but did not specify who the child was or what it had to do with you, Brother Chuan. Everything was my secret thought. If that child were really alive, he would be seventy now. He is over —— years old ” but I know that Uncle Shi will not talk casually, and there are Ye Xiangming who is of unknown origin among the two dragon gates.

Yao Chuan was silent for a long time, and his expression finally calmed down. He sighed: “ If this is really the case, this thief may have come for this matter, and I have to go back to Bianjing. . . . . Linyi, you just stay. . . . ”

“you go back to Bianjing and I go to Qingzhou. ” Linyi cut off the railway.

He didn’t wait for Yao Chuan to reply and hurriedly answered: “ I know you are worried about my safety. This time I will take Yingmei with me. Both of these things are now at a critical juncture. We must not take another wrong step. It is better to act separately and perhaps leave it to death with a glimmer of hope. ”

Yao Chuan was silent for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement. He sighed a lot today, but at this time he showed a smile. He smiled bitterly and said: “ I thought it was a dispute between rivers and lakes, but I didn’t want it to be so deeply involved. Yes, it has already involved King Huai, so how can the matter be so simple? Linyi——”

He said something, as if he couldn’t hold it back, reached out and took the man into his arms, and said softly: “ I will go on the road tonight, and when I rescue Master, I will come to Qingzhou to find you. —— I promised, even if I give up this life, I will protect you. ”

Lin Yi was silent for a long time, so he touched his back and said in a straight voice: “ you go back to Bianjing, I hope you will be careful. And your junior brothers. . . . . They can’t all be trusted. I’m afraid you value friendship too much and will be deceived by others. ”

Yao Chuan nodded slightly and hugged him quietly for a moment. He looked up and saw endless shady scenes in the sky, and he didn’t know when he would be able to see the light of day.
