I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 149 The moment of decision
Xie Yuan looked at Mu Chaoyun lying face down on the couch, her long hair scattered and her breath weak, as if she had fallen into a coma.

There was a huge gap in the black robe on her back, revealing a bit of her snow-white and delicate back, and a hideous knife wound that almost slashed through her upper body. The blood and flesh were blurred, staining the black robe a deep color.

Xie Yuan's pupils shrank, he ran to the couch, held Mu Chaoyun's hand hanging beside the couch, and felt a little depressed.

The little hand was soft and boneless, and felt very smooth, yet icy cold.

The martial arts master's hands have lost their warmth. How serious must this injury be?
If Xie Yuan hadn't been able to hear her faint breathing, he would have probably thought...

He transferred his inner energy into Mu Chaoyun's body through his palm, and then called softly:
"Miss Mu, Miss Mu?"

An endless supply of internal energy was transmitted over. After a long while, until Xie Yuan began to feel a little exhausted, Mu Chaoyun let out a soft moan, a trace of color appeared on his face, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Xie Yuan was overjoyed and held her hand tightly:
"Miss Mu, are you awake?"

Mu Chaoyun's beautiful eyes were dull and confused, and she murmured as softly as a mosquito:
"Am I...home?"

Xie Yuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only say vaguely:

"I guess so. Miss Mu, I'm Xie Yuan, do you remember me?"

"Xie Yuan?"

Mu Chaoyun frowned, his eyes focused as he looked at Xie Yuan, and he seemed to have finally come to his senses.

Her eyes turned slightly, and she felt relieved when she saw that this was the cottage where she had lived for a long time.

Fortunately, I escaped back...

Mu Chaoyun coughed twice and said in a soft voice:
"The black bottle..."

Xie Yuan reacted very quickly and quickly untied the bag on her back. Before he opened it, he heard her say softly:

"Not here... the collar..."

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Mu Chaoyun, only to see that she was glancing somewhere else.

He pondered for a moment, then carefully turned Mu Chaoyun from the prone position to a side-lying position, trying his best not to touch the wound, and whispered:

"excuse me."

At this time, without caring about the distinction between men and women, Xie Yuan untied Mu Chaoyun's black robe, then fumbled inside the lining of her chest for a while. Sure enough, he found a few porcelain bottles in the secret pocket and quickly took them out.

The color on Mu Chaoyun's face became more obvious, and he seemed to have recovered much more energy without taking any medicine. At this time, Xie Yuan also focused his thoughts and did not think about the touch of his hand just now. He put down a few porcelain bottles, took the black porcelain bottle, opened the red stopper, and poured out one of the only two pills.

He handed the pill to Mu Chaoyun's mouth, fed her to take it, and gave her some water to drink. Then he heard her close her eyes and whisper:
"Sitting cross-legged..."

Xie Yuan then helped her up and put her in the training posture with her five hearts facing upwards. He then watched her practice the skills to heal her injuries, and only then was he finished.

He exhaled, and watched from the side, his brows furrowed.

Mu Chaoyun's injuries were so severe that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands, so he could only ask him for help.

How could it be hurt like this?
Xie Yuan frowned and quietly guarded the Dharma beside him.

After about an incense stick of time, Mu Chaoyun's face turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he opened his eyes and seemed to have recovered a lot of spirit.

She looked at Xie Yuan holding clean water and a handkerchief, as if to clean herself. She took them with a little discomfort and nodded slightly:

"Thank you. Please...bandage me again."

Seeing that she had recovered some strength, Xie Yuan went to her back and applied medicine to her wound.

The little bit of skin exposed was dazzlingly white, smooth and delicate, but most of it was bloody and had hideous knife wounds. Xie Yuan couldn't help but frown as he treated the wound and asked:

"Miss Mu, who hurt you? Old Third Lu?"

Mu Chaoyun's face was solemn, and he nodded slowly:

“It’s him, and the Grandmaster of the Golden Dragon Company, Deng Wan.

"He has actually recovered and joined up with Lu Lao San, and has been lying in ambush next to Yun Zhao for so long...

"I sneaked into Yunzhao that day and took advantage of the human world here to hide. They didn't move for such a long time, and I thought they had already gone to another place. But soon after I arrived outside the city, the two of them chased after me. If it was just one of them, I could still deal with it, but if they joined forces, I would be no match for them."

Xie Yuan frowned and said:

"How could Third Lu be so hot on our trail? Even the Heavenly Hidden Technique couldn't hide him?"

"He must have had a strange encounter... He was just an ordinary horse bandit back then. It is said that he accidentally obtained inheritance in a mausoleum buried under the Western Desert and became a master. He also has a unique tracking technique or a rare treasure. As long as he is targeted, no one can escape for so many years.

"If my Sky Hidden Technique could be improved a bit, I might be able to shake him off. But now I can only use the people in the city to cover my sight, so that he can't catch me. Once I'm out of the city, he'll always be able to catch up... I just didn't expect that they'd still be lying in ambush outside Yunzhao after so long."

Mu Chaoyun's expression was also solemn, with her brows slightly furrowed.

Xie Yuan took a breath. It was really troublesome to be targeted by such an enemy.

he asked:
"Miss Mu, how is your injury? Now you are hiding in the city, they should still not be able to find you?"

Mu Chaoyun shook his head slowly, his expression heavy:

"I took a life-saving pill, so I'm safe for now, but it will take more than three to five days to recover. However, the two of them probably weren't sure where I was before, so they kept wandering around Yunzhao and the surrounding counties. Now that they know I've entered Yunzhao, they'll probably come in to search for me soon..."

"This……"

Xie Yuan looked serious. If two masters came in and found this place, given Mu Chaoyun's injuries, he might never be able to escape.

"Miss Mu, do you have any plan?"

He asked in a low voice, while his mind was racing with thoughts.

But with his strength, he was too far away from this realm, and there was no good solution for the time being.

Mu Chaoyun did not answer. He looked at Xie Yuan silently, which made Xie Yuan feel strange:

"Miss Mu, why are you staring at me? Are you asking me to get rid of them?"

Mu Chaoyun twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he felt that it was not easy for Xie Yuan to be able to liven up the atmosphere.

But she immediately regained her serious expression and said slowly:
"If I don't want to sit and wait for death, I can only think of one way, the only way."

When Xie Yuan heard her say this, he had a bad feeling in his heart and whispered:
"You said."

"Let the escort agency take the items with my scent and leave the city in four directions. We will take the opportunity to leave." Mu Chaoyun said calmly.

"!"

Xie Yuan's expression changed.

Isn’t this the Yin Yang Dart?
But the problem is that the normal Yin-Yang Dart is just a safety measure when the dart is important and you may encounter a powerful enemy;
But this time, Ming Biao encountered a master, which was tantamount to seeking death!

Xie Yuan subconsciously wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

If you don't agree with this plan, there seems to be no other way.

When the two great masters slowly searched into the city and found the escort agency, it would be unable to escape the disaster either.

Unless he threw Mu Chaoyun out right now and let her find a place to fend for herself...he couldn't do that no matter what.

Looking at Mu Chaoyun's calm expression, a pair of lake-like eyes just looking at him quietly, as if letting him make the decision, Xie Yuan was in a dilemma for a moment.

He asked with difficulty:
"Even if I manage to escape Yunzhao, how can I escape being hunted down?"

"There are other auras that are confusing. If you leave here, you still have a chance of survival. If you stay here and wait to be caught, you will definitely die."

Mu Chaoyun ruthlessly shattered Xie Yuan's hesitation.

She looked at Xie Yuan and said calmly:

"If you can't make a decision, return the two petals of Bagua Lotus to me and I will leave on my own."

"Where can you go like this?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Mu Chaoyun just shook his head.

Xie Yuan let out a long sigh.

He frowned, his mind racing. After thinking it over, he could only do it that way.

However, he came up with an idea that might be of some effect and reduce unnecessary casualties.

He clenched his fist and said:
"Then I'll go inform others."

"Call Shen Longteng over first."

Mu Chaoyun said lightly.

Xie Yuan was slightly surprised, but still did as he was told.

After a while.

Shen Longteng looked at Mu Chaoyun in the room with a look of surprise, then looked at Xie Yuan with a half-smile:

"You kid, ah, you kid..."

Xie Yuan couldn't laugh at all:

"Captain Escort, I don't know what to say."

Shen Longteng actually noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he just waved his hand and said to Mu Chaoyun in a deep voice:

"Girl, you called me...what is this?!"

He looked at the yin-yang fish jade pendant that Mu Chaoyun handed over and was shocked.

"Boss Shen, it's time for you to repay your gratitude."

Mu Chaoyun spoke quietly.

Shen Longteng frowned, took a deep breath, and clasped his hands vigorously:
"As long as the benefactor sends me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xie Yuan was greatly surprised when he saw this scene and asked:
"Miss Mu, no, Chief Escort, this is..."

"Xie Yuan, do you still remember the benefactor of the escort agency I told you about a few days ago? He is the one who saved my life, helped me set up the escort agency, and then taught me the method to help me break through the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.

"That person also took this jade pendant and said that he might need my help in the future, and we made an agreement..."

Shen Longteng finished speaking in one breath and let out a long sigh, as if a huge stone had finally fallen from his heart, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He looked at Mu Chaoyun:
"May I ask where you are from, sir?"

"Beidu Mountain Mu Family."

Seeing that Shen Longteng was a little confused, Mu Chaoyun did not explain and turned to Xie Yuan and said:

"There are many idle chess pieces in my family around Beidu Mountain, so there is no need to be so surprised. Many of the things you transported in the past also went into Beidu Mountain."

Not to mention Xie Yuan, Shen Longteng himself didn't know much about this matter, and he didn't even know why the escort agency was established.

It turns out that Longteng Escort Agency has had its own mission since its inception.

I just wonder if what happened today was also included in the calculation?

Xie Yuan was speechless, only sighing that a secluded family, especially one that was good at divination, was truly extraordinary.

At the same time, he looked at Mu Chaoyun with mixed feelings.

If it weren't for me, she would probably treat Longteng Escort Agency as Lin Family Manor and sacrifice it at will;
And because of what she said before, she gave herself a choice, but ended up putting herself in danger?
Or if it weren't for him, Ben wouldn't have come to the escort agency?

Xie Yuan couldn't figure out the entanglement here, he just sighed and explained to Shen Longteng that this time he was going to use an unprecedented Yin-Yang Dart.

And the enemies are two masters.

After hearing this, Shen Longteng just raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Xie Yuan, your bitter face doesn't look like a bodyguard from our Longteng Escort Agency.

"As an escort agency, how can we not accept escorts? We have accepted this order, call everyone over!"
