I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

It was dark and damp underground, and there was a pungent earthy musty smell in the air.The faint candlelight released by Huozhezi flickered on and off, and there was a dead silence all around.

"Li'er?"

The fiery red candlelight flickered, revealing Gu Jinzhi with a slightly pale face.Jiang Li tried to help him up, the two of them stood against the wall, breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Li asked nervously, "Is the prince injured?"

After hearing this, Gu Jinzhi seemed a little annoyed. His eyes darkened and he said, "When you fell, you were protecting me with all your heart. How could you get hurt? This king has thick muscles, bones, skin, and thick flesh. If you fall from such a high place, you still have to protect me." Look at me." Gu Jinzhi's scrutinizing eyes turned back and forth on Jiang Li's body, but he didn't see any bruises or other injuries, and Jiang Li didn't feel stiff when he moved, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Li didn't listen to those, and grabbed Gu Jinzhi's right wrist with a solemn expression.There was a drop of blood the size of a grain of rice on the wrist. Because the wound was small, the bleeding was not much, and the area around the wound was not red, purple, or black, as if it was not poisoned.

"It's okay, I was just bitten by a mosquito." Gu Jinzhi said in a relaxed tone, and hurriedly withdrew his hand before Jiang Li could look again.

Jiang Li's face turned cold: "That's a blood-eating worm."

"Anyway, no matter what kind of bug it is, it's useless to me." Gu Jinzhi smiled playfully, and didn't take the bite seriously at all.It's true, compared with the poison of Sui Lan, the blood-eating worm is insignificant.

"Zhou Kugua said that Sui Lan has been attached to this king for so many years, and has long been mixed into his blood. No matter how overbearing the poison of that blood or insect is, it will die if it encounters Sui Lan. You don't have to worry, this king is very good! " Gu Jinzhi was afraid that Jiang Li would be overwhelmed, so he jumped up and down like a child.

Jiang Li couldn't laugh at it, and Gu Jinzhi's heart was twitched by the fleeting sadness in his eyes.

"My lord, you can't take such risks again in the future."

Gu Jinzhi hesitated to speak, looking at Jiang Li's face, he felt sour, sweet, bitter, hot, salty, and then said duplicity: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Li didn't know that Gu Jinzhi was perfunctory to him, even if he repeatedly asked Gu Jinzhi to promise not to do it again next time, if it really came next time, Gu Jinzhi would still stand in front of him regardless of life or death.

And what about Jiang Li?Since you can't persuade, you can only give action.From now on, let Gu Jinzhi never stand in front of him again.

The underground was dark, the air was humid, and the candle was burning brightly, reflecting a warm and soft light on the beautiful face of the young man in white.

"You have to get rid of your habit of leaving as soon as you say it. When I wake up, you will be gone. It's hard to find you all over Hangzhou." Gu Jinzhi followed Jiang Li, and the two walked forward side by side. find a way.

Jiang Li turned a deaf ear to it, instead of answering, he asked instead: "My lord, why don't you stay in Huixianju well, what are you doing with me?"

"Isn't this king worried about you?" Gu Jinzhi was a little annoyed, seeing Jiang Li ignoring him at all, he shifted angrily, "Of course, the Ouyang family still has some connections with this king."

Jiang Li's footsteps froze, and he looked back at Gu Jinzhi: "Your Highness, are you talking about Ouyang Yi's adopted sister, Concubine Zhao?"

"Ah, yes." Gu Jinzhi smiled as usual, "I haven't heard these three words for a long time."

Jiang Li remained calm, and the word Zhao Guifei became a taboo word in the palace, so naturally no one dared to mention it.

"When the king was full moon, the imperial physicians in the palace hadn't discovered that the king was poisoned, thinking that he had some intractable disease. The whole Dayu posted an imperial list to recruit famous doctors from all over the world. At that time, the Ouyang family in Hangzhou was a famous doctor. Benevolent, he is Concubine Zhao's adopted brother, so of course he was the first to enter the palace to see the king." Gu Jinzhi smiled wryly at this point: "Of course it was arranged by the emperor, and the queen mother has long suspected that it was Concubine Zhao who secretly murdered me. So I have been against letting her righteous brother cut the pulse for this king. However, Ouyang Yi didn’t find out anything. Prescribing a few tonics for this king is considered a business, and the queen mother dare not let me drink Ouyang Yi’s medicine. It's over."

Jiang Li's complexion was brighter than snow, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot: "Does the lord have any guesses in his heart?"

Gu Jinzhi reached out and gently stroked the wall.The earth wall is old and aging, and it will fall off when touched, and if there is any big movement, it will collapse.

"No matter how powerful Concubine Zhao is, she is still a woman raised in the deep palace. Where did she get such a strange poison like Sui Lan?" Gu Jinzhi said, "Even if her stepbrother is good at medicine, But Ouyang Yi has a very high reputation in Hangzhou. He has been practicing medicine all the year round, and he is famous for being a living Hua Tuo. How can he be suspected, let alone without the slightest evidence. believe."

Jiang Li looked at the deep passage ahead, feeling emotional: "That's because people in the world don't know that Ouyang Yi is the master of Zhuhui."

Gu Jinzhi just laughed it off, his mind was calm and calm, if he was still in the age of dancing spoons, he would point the finger at the world, why can't he be so young and vigorous?I think he should have caused trouble to the Queen Mother a lot when he was a child, but now thinking about it, he is a little bit dumbfounded.

"It's just an old story. Ouyang Yi died unexpectedly, and your only son, Ouyang Qian, was wiped out by you. It's useless to blame others. Ouyang Yi gave medicine, and Concubine Zhao did it. These two people died tragically one after another, which is also their retribution." Gu Jinzhi Looking down, a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes: "What's more..."

Jiang Li looked at him, and saw Gu Jinzhi stop and raised his head, showing the bite wound on his right wrist and smiling at him: "If there is no body protector, this king will really go back west."

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh.

"So having said that, I really should thank them, huh?"

Jiang Li: "..."

After walking for a long time in the pitch-black tunnel, since this is the mansion of the Ouyang family, there is naturally a secret passage that is convenient for movement, but it is still unknown where this secret passage leads to.I don't know what happened to Qingyan and the others, did they fall into the ground like the two of them, or did they escape?

As Gu Jinzhi was walking, his pace suddenly slowed down, and he stared blankly ahead.

Jiang Li felt his trailing footsteps and looked back: "What's wrong?"

"Ah?" Gu Jinzhi seemed to be taken aback, and quickly followed up: "It's nothing, are we almost at the exit?"

"There is still a long way to go." In order to prevent Gu Jinzhi from falling, Jiang Li took his wrist and walked forward.A light gradually appeared in front of him, presumably the exit had arrived.Just as Jiang Li was about to quicken his pace, a murderous aura suddenly came from behind.Jiang Li subconsciously pushed Gu Jinzhi behind him to the left, and he dodged to the right along with his force, a flying knife swished through the middle, and firmly nailed it to the stone wall at the end.

Jiang Li looked back, and it was the killer Zhuhui who fell into the ground like them and caught up.He used the fire pocket in his hand as a hidden weapon, and shot it in the air, stabbing one of them in the heart like a knife.The man fell to the ground, the fire was soaked in blood, the candle was extinguished, and his fingers could not be seen in the passage.There was only the criss-crossing murderous aura of the black-clothed killer, and the icy cold wind generated by Jiang Li's swift movement.

No one can see anyone in the pitch black, and they can only distinguish each other's positions from touch and hearing.Gu Jinzhi was safe standing on the sidelines, but he didn't know what Zhuhui's killer was, and his blind eyes were the best.Maybe he felt that Jiang Li was too strong and couldn't take it for a while, so he started with the soft persimmon first.The killer also saw that Gu Jinzhi didn't understand martial arts at all, and he was a little smug, and he stabbed at will without any moves.

Gu Jinzhi's hearing was excellent in the dark, and in a flash of instinct, he heard a "clang", which was similar to the sound of a sword being cut on a wall.The man stabbed in the air, Gu Jinzhi held a golden needle in his backhand, and pierced the man's back neck.The killer trembled all over, his limbs were numb and unable to move, he staggered and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, the curtain fell on Jiang Li.

"Li'er, are you alright?" Gu Jinzhi shouted nervously in the dark.

Jiang Li held his waving hand, and with the help of the faint pale light at the end of the passage, he could clearly see the twitching Killer Zhuhui on the ground.

"My lord's golden needle piercing the acupoints is eye-opening."

"It's not worth mentioning." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile: "Zhuhui, on the other hand, recruits all kinds of things, just look at this."

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing, and followed Gu Jinzhi's eloquence: "If you lose to a prince who doesn't know martial arts at all, I'm afraid he won't dare to fight with others in his next life."

When Jiang Li and Gu Jinzhi walked out of the secret path one after another, they didn't meet any acquaintances.It was discovered in the secret road before that the secret road is intricate and has many passages, and each road may lead to different places.Assuming that Yutai and Qingyan also fell to the ground, it is very likely that they are at the other end of the mountain, or they will go back to Hangzhou City after going around.

The sky is already bright, and the fog in the suburbs in the morning is heavy, and the grass is covered with dew, and the bottom of the clothes are wet after walking.

Gu Jinzhi looked at the blue sky, his gaze was a little far away: "You went to find Ouyang's money on purpose because of Ouyang's translation of medical books?"

Jiang Li saw a dilapidated temple in the distance, and walked towards it, while replying: "Maybe the prince can use that "Handed down Medical Code"."

The medical code records the rare and rare herbs that Ouyang Yi saw in his life, all kinds of rare elixir, and even some of his experience and methods of practicing medicine, and the process of making medicine is also explained in detail.Since the poison of Wei Lan was created by Ouyang Yi, the people in Taiyuan Hospital or Gu Jinzhi himself may find clues and clues to crack the poison of Wei Lan from this book.

Although that hope is slim, it is worth a try after all.

"Since Ouyang Qian is the son of the former headmaster Zhuhui, he was influenced by Ouyang Yi since he was a child, and he is obsessed with Ye Laiyou to the point of madness. It is definitely not a good thing. Li'er went to him for a medical book. It's a risk." Gu Jinzhi tightly clenched Jiang Li's hand with lingering fear.

Jiang Li looked at him faintly, as if he wanted to say something, after a while, he pursed his lips lightly, and only responded lightly.

If nothing is done, how long will Gu Jinzhi have?Ten years, five years, three years, or...

"Tomorrow's worry comes tomorrow, let's go into the temple to rest our feet." Gu Jinzhi patted Jiang Li's shoulder lightly, and was about to go in as he spoke, but was stopped by Jiang Li: "Me first."

A warm feeling welled up in Gu Jinzhi's heart, but he didn't try to stop it.When Jiang Li went in and turned around before coming out, he saw Gu Jinzhi staring into the distance, as if he was thinking about something, and was a little lost in thought.

"Your Highness." Jiang Li called him.Gu Jinzhi noticed something, his eyes seemed a little sour, he closed his eyes for a while and opened them again, and said with a smile: "The air in the suburbs is better than that in the city, don't look at this deserted temple, the location of the building is also ingenious. On the edge of the cliff, there is a mountain spring and waterfall next to it, and it is also a good place for rest and recuperation.”

The area of ​​the dilapidated temple was not too large. There were dilapidated Bodhisattva statues in the main hall. Weeds were overgrown on the ground, the roof tiles were broken, and the house was leaking. Several stray cats ran away in a hurry when they heard the sound of people.After going around the main hall, there is a protruding terrace where you can have a good view of the distant mountains and the waterfall at the foot.

"When you get back to the city, do you still want to continue looking for Ye Laiyou?" Gu Jinzhi asked softly while leaning against the railing.

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

"That day and night, Laiyou disappeared without a trace, but I feel that she never went far." Gu Jin knew there was something in his words, and looked at the mountain spring and pool water a hundred meters below with ecstasy: "She seems to be very fond of you." If you are interested, maybe I will peek at you and me somewhere at this time."

There was a faint smile on Jiang Li's lips: "In order to pretend to be comfortable, Your Highness went to get to know Ye Laiyou, it really took so much pains."

"It's okay, okay." Gu Jinzhi said hypocritically self-modestly: "Ye Laiyou has been decadent and depressed in recent years, roaming around the world in a crazy manner, and doesn't care about matters in the sect. Zhuhui is not as united as last year, and is gradually falling apart. Coupled with your disintegration from the outside, and people in the rivers and lakes going to Zhuhui to seek revenge one after another, I think Zhuhui's luck should come to an end."

Jiang Li knew what Gu Jinzhi said.After he exposed the identity of Jiang Ming's son, everyone in the world knew that the culprit who destroyed Jiang's family was Zhuhui, and some people in the martial arts world who could not repay the kindness of Mr. Jiang began to inquire about Zhuhui to seek revenge.In addition, Zhuhui's high-status soul-chasing orders in recent years have all been beheaded by Jiang Li one by one. Without the leader, no matter how powerful the team is, it will be torn apart.

"When you avenge your family, don't run around anymore."

Gu Jinzhi's face was covered with a happy look: "When the matter is over, if you think Beijing is boring, I can also accompany you to travel to Kyushu. Yun Sheng came back from Gusu the year before last, saying that the scenery there is quite good. Let’s take a look at the opportunity, how about it?”

The light blue sky cast a melancholy gleam, dyeing Jiang Li's complexion a little pale, he smiled faintly, with a hint of bitterness overflowing from his lips: "Very good."

Gu Jinzhi was exceptionally sensitive, and could faintly hear the bitterness in Jiang Li's tone, and a little thought felt a pain in his heart.Pretending to be carefree on the face, he stretched out his hand anxiously and said: "Why do you bother with mediocrity? Although my body is not as vigorous as a healthy person, it is still tenacious and tenacious. It will not be a problem to live a year. Don't act like..." Gu Jinzhi's outstretched hand froze, then suddenly retracted and hung to the side of his body.

Jiang Li looked at him, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Don't look so sad that the king is about to die, okay?" Gu Jinzhi talked and laughed happily, and said casually: "Qi Lan has been attached to this king for so many years. If this king dies, then Sui Lan is also finished, so it can't bear to part with it. The king is dead!"

Jiang Li didn't laugh at Gu Jinzhi's remark, but looked at him with a serious face, and didn't make a sound for a long, long time.

The smile on Gu Jinzhi's face froze a little, and the nervous look in his eyes flashed: "Li'er? Why don't you talk?"

Jiang Li's face turned pale again, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gu Jinzhi's dull eyes - the latter didn't respond at all, not even moving his eyelids.

Jiang Li's heart trembled heavily: "My lord, are you blind?"
