For the world controlled by the Seven Sages, secretly using manpower to do such a thing was nothing at all.
The battle had just ended, so the Ghost Doctor and her two disciples wanted to take advantage of this time to find suitable eyeballs to transplant. It wouldn't be good if the corpses were left for too long, so they had to hurry.
Yan Baoru and Guo Man were left behind by Wu Xin to look after the courtyard.
Even though they had already informed the people from the bank, and logically speaking, no one from the rebel army would dare to trespass this small courtyard, they still left the two of them behind just in case.
When it was close to evening, a member of the Misty Pavilion suddenly came to visit and took Shao Liuer away with just one thing.
Haozhen and the others felt uneasy. They didn't know why the Misty Pavilion suddenly took Shao Liuer away at this time of great changes in Qi Capital.
Meanwhile, Wu Xin, who was busy cleaning up the corpses in the city, received another letter. The general gist of the letter was to keep quiet about Shao Liuer being taken away. Otherwise, he would have to wait to collect Shao Liuer's corpse, and that he would contact him later.
The letter repeatedly reminded him that if he dared to leak the news, he would only be able to see Shao Liuer's corpse.
Wu Xin threw down the work in his hands and ran away. He ran away under the watchful eyes of the Ghost Doctor and Wu Xiang.
Wu Xin rushed back to the small courtyard to confirm the situation …
In the boundless night, on top of a mountain, Niu Youdao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the dimly lit capital of Qi Kingdom in the distance.
Yun Ji silently accompanied him, listening to the sounds of insects rising and falling in the mountains.
They arrived in the evening and found that the battle had already ended. The surrounding walls of the capital were tightly guarded by the rebel army, so it was inconvenient to enter and exit. Moreover, the city was searched everywhere, so it was difficult for masked people to sneak through.
Neither of them could reveal their true faces, especially Niu Youdao.
They could only let Yun Ji sneak into the city and find the spy that Mount Five Liang had set up in Qi Capital to help investigate Yuan Gang's situation.
They waited, and waited.
In the middle of the night, someone finally flew over and greeted Yun Ji, ignoring Niu Youdao. Currently, Niu Youdao was still Yun Ji's follower.
Yun Ji: "No need for pleasantries. Tell me, did you find out anything about Yuan Gang?"
The incomer replied, "There's news. I've found some acquaintances in the rebel army and asked around. Lord Yuan of Thatched Cottage Villa should have appeared when the rebel army attacked the palace. He fought alongside the commander of the Imperial Guards, Hu Yanwei …"
He gave a detailed account of what he had found out.
Yun Ji glanced at Niu Youdao's reaction and saw him nod slightly. She immediately waved her hand at the newcomer and said, "Alright, I got it. You've worked hard. You can go back first. I'll contact you again if there's anything. "
"Yes!" The man quickly left.
Once he was far away, Yun Ji sighed and said, "Your judgment is correct. Looking at the description of his appearance and his stupidity, there shouldn't be anyone else besides Monkey. Monkey really did come here, but he actually had his arm chopped off. This fellow is really too reckless."
"Humph! Losing an arm is a small matter, but it's good enough that he's still alive. "Niu Youdao was obviously gritting his teeth as he spoke, full of resentment.
Yun Ji was suspicious. "Who could the person dressed as a soldier be that rescued Yuan Gang?"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Who else could it be? To be able to easily rescue Yuan Gang from the hands of the Grand Supreme Elders of the three major sects in the midst of the rebel army, it's most likely Lv Wushuang herself! Other than her, I can't think of any other expert who would make a move at this time. "
Worry surfaced in Yun Ji's eyes. Indeed, what she feared had come true. If it really was Lv Wushuang, then it would be really troublesome. She asked, "If Yuan Gang really fell into Lv Wushuang's hands, I'm afraid it won't be possible to get him out like last time. Without any evidence, if she doesn't admit to having captured him, who can do anything about it? "
Niu Youdao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
Yun Ji was puzzled. "To where?"
Slowly, Niu Youdao said, "Why else would she look for Yuan Gang? She must have gone to the Boundless Desert!"
Soon, a bird mount rose into the sky from the depths of the mountains. The two of them rode the bird mount and left under the moonlight …
The rebel army was reorganizing the capital's order and reorganizing the city's defenses. They made preparations overnight to deal with the arrival of the counterinsurgency troops.
After changing their appearances, Wu Xin and Yan Baoru arrived at the city wall. Under the guise of Yuan Color's work and with the help of a bank employee, the guards and cultivators guarding the city let the two of them out of the city. Yan Baoru grabbed Wu Xin's arm and flew out of the city, escaping into the boundless night.
Facing the war, the village several kilometers away from the city was already empty. The commoners had all run away to seek refuge.
At the entrance of the village, someone appeared and stopped Yan Baoru. He made her wait there and only allowed Wu Xin to enter the village.
Yan Baoru was slightly worried, but Wu Xin motioned for her to stay.
Later, someone led Wu Xin into the village and brought her to the largest house in the village.
Under the light of the house, a person sat quietly at a table. Seeing Wu Xin enter the door, he smiled. "Tsk tsk, I didn't think you would really come."
Wu Xin said with a taut face, "In the end, who are you people?"
The person sitting there smiled. "It's normal that you don't know me. Normally, I'm not someone you can see just because you want to. Let me introduce myself. I'm the former Boundless Pavilion Master, Lan Ming! "
Wu Xin's pupils shrank. He was surprised and even more puzzled. "Why did Mister Lan capture the princess?"
"A small character like you naturally wouldn't understand how people like us do things. There are some things that you don't need to know too much. You just need to do as we say …" Lan Ming got up, walked to Wu Xin's side, and whispered in his ear for a while.
Wu Xin's face gradually revealed a shocked expression …
After Yan Baoru, who was being monitored at the village entrance, saw Wu Xin return safely, she let out a sigh of relief. She went forward to greet him and asked, "Mister, are you alright?"
Wu Xin shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's go!"
Yan Baoru brought him back to the capital. They were still at the same place, and there were people from the bank responsible for receiving them. After receiving the two of them into the city, they separated.
Returning to the small courtyard, Wu Xin saw the anxiously waiting Haozhen. He went forward and comforted him. "Prince, don't worry. I've already confirmed for Prince that the princess is fine for now. It's just that the Misty Pavilion wants to confirm something with her. They'll send her back later."
Haozhen was puzzled. "What matter could she have that would make the Misty Pavilion 'invite' people?"
Wu Xin said, "When the princess comes back, she'll naturally know. Prince, you should know the rules of the Misty Pavilion. Don't speak carelessly, or else you'll get into trouble. "
Haozhen could only nod helplessly. "I understand."
Wu Xin then left and entered the pharmacy at the back.
The Ghost Doctor was in the pharmacy preparing some medicine. Seeing Wu Xin silently approaching, he squinted his eyes. "What are you doing sneaking around?"
Previously, Wu Xin didn't dare to say it because the other party had already told him. He was afraid that something would happen to Shao Liuer. But now, he had no choice but to say it because he needed his master's help. "Master, Shao Liuer was kidnapped … …" He told him about Shao Liuer being taken away by the Misty Pavilion.
The Ghost Doctor was startled. He said in surprise, "Why did the Misty Pavilion kidnap her? Could it be that there's something else going on with her?"
Wu Xin revealed a sorrowful expression. "It's this disciple who implicated her."
The Ghost Doctor put down the things in his hands and frowned. "What do you mean you implicated her? Why are you bringing the Misty Pavilion into this? Speak clearly."
Wu Xin said painfully, "It wasn't the Misty Pavilion who kidnapped her. Someone used the identity of the Misty Pavilion."
The Ghost Doctor said in a low voice, "Who would be so daring?"
Wu Xin said, "Lan Daolin's son, Lan Ming. This disciple just left the city and met him."
"Ah!" The Ghost Doctor was quite shocked. "That guy has already rebelled against his father. When did you provoke someone like Lan Ming?"
Wu Xin said, "It's not that I provoked Lan Ming. It's that Master's current actions have caught Lan Ming's attention. He wants one of Yuan Se's trusted aide Yuan Fei's eyes … …" With a face full of worry, he recounted his meeting with Lan Ming and what Lan Ming wanted him to do.
After listening, the Ghost Doctor said in a low voice, "Are you joking? You should know that the struggle between those people isn't something we can participate in. Once we get involved, such a big weakness will fall into the hands of others. We won't be able to escape. It's not that Master doesn't want to help you. It's that Master can't, doesn't dare, and can't help you. "
Wu Xin lowered his body and knelt down with a thud. "This disciple knows his wrongs. I regret not listening to Master. Now, not only am I unable to help her, I've also implicated her." Then he kowtowed to the ground. "I beg for Shizun's help. As long as Shizun is willing to help, this disciple is willing to follow Shizun back to the Medicinal Valley and secretly practice medicine!"
The Ghost Doctor's face tightened and he didn't speak. He stared at his beloved disciple who was kowtowing again and again … …
The white of a fish's belly appeared on the horizon.
At the edge of the boundless desert, on top of a stone mountain, a figure descended from the sky.
The person who landed casually threw down a person. It was the one-armed Yuan Gang.
Someone had already sealed the acupuncture points of his severed arm to stop the bleeding. Yuan Gang slowly sat up with the support of his single arm. He was silent, his expression still revealing a sense of decadence. He still hadn't walked out of the depression of not being able to save Huyan Wei and his wife.
"Was it worth it?" The soldier who had saved him suddenly said in a woman's voice, staring at his severed arm.
A woman? Yuan Gang was startled. He regained his senses and raised his head to look. He asked in confusion, "Just who are you?"
The soldier raised his hand and made a grabbing motion. A cloth wrapped on his back was thrown into the air, then fell straight to the ground. Clang! It stabbed into the ground, making a buzzing sound. The cloth wrapped around it fell to the ground, revealing the shining blade in the morning light. On the back of the blade were three tiger ornaments!
Yuan Gang stared at the blade for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at the masked soldier. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at the boundless desert.
The soldier raised his hand to take off his leather helmet. His long hair flowed down like a waterfall. He casually threw the helmet away, then slowly lifted his hand to take off his mask. He loosened his grip and let it go with the wind.
She had a cold and beautiful face. Her long hair fluttered in the wind as she bathed in the morning light. She was also dressed like a soldier, exuding a different kind of charm. It was Lu Wushuang, one of the Seven Great Saints in the world!
Yuan Gang slowly got up. He reached out to hold the hilt of the Three Howling Blade and stared at her.
Lu Wushuang also tilted her head to look at him. There was a slightly complicated expression in her cold eyes. After Yuan Gang appeared in Luo Zhaojun's army, she received the news and rushed over.
Due to the distance, it was still too late when she found him.
She mixed in with the rebel army and saw with her own eyes the scene of Yuan Gang saving people alone. She also saw with her own eyes how Yuan Gang was powerless to save people and cremated them.
The situation after that was even more unexpected. Yuan Gang did not escape. Instead, he rushed into the army and fought desperately, wanting to kill Gu Yuanda to avenge the dead.
Later, when she saw Yuan Gang in danger, she wanted to help, but it was really inconvenient to do so in front of so many people. It was not until she saw that Yuan Gang was about to die that she had no choice but to cover her face and take him away, bringing him here.
