First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

The news that Wei Ling was poisoned while saving his wife soon spread.

Sure enough, many people went to Zhou Ziqi to inquire about Wei Ling's situation.

Zhou Ziqi kept his mouth shut just as he said, and finally stayed indoors.

Since no information could be obtained from Zhou Ziqi, everyone felt that the news that Wei Ling would not live long might be more true.

"There will be a fierce battle tonight." Wei Ling said to Wei Zhong. "They will definitely take this opportunity to kill me completely. No matter what happens outside tonight, you all must protect the lady."

He turned and glanced at Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang is still in a coma and has not woken up.

Guihua has come over to help Su Jixiang change his clothes.

"My Lord, I will put on makeup to look like you, and you and your wife can just hide together." Lushui said.

"There is absolutely no reason for me to escape at this time." Wei Ling said calmly, "This is originally my battle, I should participate."

"Why are you participating?" Xie Yingfeng walked in, covered in snow. "God is helping you. The snow outside is getting stronger. It's probably going to be a blizzard tonight."

"Have you made arrangements?" Wei Ling asked.

"Everything has been arranged according to your instructions." Xie Yingfeng patted the snow on his shoulders. "I also asked Wan Ning to bring the families of several people to my place and hide them. Don't worry. They won't be caught."

"Yes." Wei Ling nodded. "These people have no shame. We have forced them to the point of desperation. We must always be on guard against them from attacking women and children."

"The archers and assassins on the wall who tried to assassinate you have been captured." Xie Yingfeng said, "It seems that there are quite a few traitors hidden in our army. As soon as there is any disturbance, all kinds of evil spirits will emerge."

"That's why I took advantage of their own tactic and let them all be exposed at once." Wei Ling's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "There is a high probability that someone will assassinate us tonight, and we will have nothing to do with our military remonstrances the next day."

"I don't know if Zhou Ziqi can speed up his movements. It's really a headache for you to lie there half dead!" Xie Yingfeng said.

"He said the earliest would be tomorrow morning and the latest would be tomorrow night," Wei Ling said.

"Yeah. I heard what he said, too." Xie Yingfeng nodded. "I don't care what you think. Anyway, leave tonight's matter to me. I can't charge into battle, but I can still handle assassinations like this. You are not allowed to take risks. If there is a military remonstration, you will still have to quell the rebellion in the end." He glanced at Wei Ling and said, "Now is not the time for you to show up. Do you understand?"

"Okay." Wei Ling thought about it, weighing the pros and cons. He would be a sitting duck if he showed up now. "Then let Lu Shui pretend to be me today, and I'll go into hiding with Jixiang."

"Right! This is the best choice." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "Just watch my performance tonight. When their army rushes over the day after tomorrow, it will be up to you!"

The reason why we judge that the military remonstrance will occur the day after tomorrow is based on the garrison positions of these people's troops.

If the soldiers under their command do not follow their lead, everyone will be happy. However, if someone else wants to join them in seizing power, that is another matter.

Although Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng had made preparations in advance, after all, the number of troops left behind was quite large, and it is now difficult to tell who will make trouble and who will behave themselves.

That's why Wei Ling decided to go with the flow this time.

He estimated that the people sent from the capital would soon arrive in Mangcheng.

Therefore, he had to turn the Black Tiger Army of Mangcheng into an iron barrel that could not be splashed in or penetrated by oil before the people from the capital arrived!

Originally he was thinking of taking it slow, but now time waits for no one.

It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It is better to solve this cancer once and for all.

Wei Ling and Su Jixiang hid together in a secret room in the house.

He renovated the house after he bought it. There is a secret passage under the study, which leads to another house, which is also his property.

There is another secret room and secret passage under that house. The secret passage is connected to the third house, and there is also a secret room and secret passage under the third house, which can lead directly to the outside of the city.

When he bought these three houses, he was imitating the example of a cunning rabbit having three burrows.

If the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had made such an arrangement back then, the entire family would not have been thrown into jail. At least some of the younger generations could have been sent away through the secret passage.

Su Jixiang woke up in the secret room of the second house.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wei Ling half lying beside her.

"Where am I?" Su Jixiang looked around and was shocked. She didn't recognize this room.

"In the secret room." Wei Ling smiled. He really didn't have much strength now, so Guihua, who came with them to protect them, explained to Su Jixiang in the shortest possible words why the three of them were here.

After listening to Guihua's story, Su Jixiang's eyes widened.

"So you can't move now because you want to save me?" Although Su Jixiang didn't have much strength, fortunately the poison had been removed. Although she still felt a little sore all over, she could move without any hindrance.

On the other hand, Wei Ling was lying beside her, limp, as if he had been seriously injured and unconscious. Of course, Wei Ling was awake now.

"I'm glad you're okay." Although he had taken the Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pill, which could protect his heart meridians, the poison was still in his body. Now Wei Ling could hardly move at all.

This poison is extremely powerful, and it must have been specially formulated by these people targeting Wei Ling. They know that Wei Ling is good at martial arts, and if they cannot make him lose his fighting ability in the first place, they are afraid that Wei Ling will run away, or even kill him.

Therefore, once you are poisoned by this poison, you will immediately faint, and even if you wake up, you will be unable to move your body.

The reason why Su Jixiang fainted so quickly was because of this reason.

"Why are you so stupid? You knew it was poisonous but you still sucked it with your mouth!" Su Jixiang's heart trembled.

She had lived two lifetimes, but this was the first time someone had risked his life for her like this...

It is impossible to say that I am not moved.

Wei Ling smiled, said nothing, and just looked at Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang felt even weaker when she was looked at by Wei Ling, and she quickly looked away.

So Wei Ling really likes me? Isn't it because I am the one he arranged to marry and out of responsibility that he accepted me?

Several questions suddenly emerged in Su Jixiang's mind.

"Oh, my poison has been cured, why haven't you cured yours yet?" She suddenly asked before Su Jixiang could think about it. If there was an antidote, there was no reason why Wei Ling would not take it.
