Chapter 5

Entering night.

The capital of Chu King.

The main courtyard of the Jiang clan.

The butler Jiang Fu's fat body lies half horizontally on a wide rattan bed, half closed his eyes and sucked the clouds and mist.

A young maid with a delicate body stood behind him, carefully pressing his shoulders and serving him with all his heart.

At this time, a servant walked in and reported to him.

Report to the great housekeeper, the servant Kang Li asked for a meeting.Jiang Fu still closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle service of the maid behind him, and was too lazy to open his eyes, and said carelessly.

Let him in.

yes.

After a while, Kang Li, dressed in a long-distance outfit, stepped into the hall where the butler was located, with a little crampedness.

Old servant Kang Li, come to say goodbye to the butler.

Um... Jiang Fu glanced at him casually and continued to suck the cigarette tube.

After a while, he said lightly: You have been in the Jiang family for twelve years. During these twelve years, you have been diligent. I see all these and know how you are.Jiang Fu first encouraged him, then changed his tone and became sharp.

However, since Jiang Fu was promoted to the steward of the Jiang clan, there has never been anything. It was the wife who passed by me and directly assigned the task to the slaves below to do it.This is the first and last time. I don’t want anyone to dare to take the initiative again. Do you understand?Jiang Fu finished speaking with a half-warning tone, and saw Kang Li kneeling down to the ground and kowtow heavily to Jiang Fu.

The villain knew that the butler had always been broad-minded and dared to make this claim.

The villain assured the butler that there would never be a next time.Jiang Fu said lightly: Okay, I want to remind you that the task assigned to you this time is to believe that you were familiar with the environment there in Changliu Mountain so that you can give it a try and don’t let your wife down.

Kang Li kowtowed hard again.

The villain understood that this was entirely due to the trust of the butler, so the wife was willing to agree to the villain for a try.

The wife and the butler are kind to the villain and the people of Kangjia Village. The villain's low life is given by the wife and the butler. The villain will never let down the trust of the wife and the butler.Jiang Fu raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him with a little surprise.

After pausing, he tilted his head and nodded: Okay, my words have come to this point, so there is no need to say anything else, let’s go as soon as possible.

Yes, the butler.

Kang Li was about to retreat, but before leaving, Jiang Fu remembered something and couldn't help asking casually.

Yes, how many people from Kangjia Village are willing to accompany you?

Kang Li immediately replied respectfully: Go back to the butler, except for the few female family members and the dog sons, the remaining twenty-four people in Kangjia Village will follow me to the Changliu Mountains to search for the whereabouts of the third aunt and the third young master.Jiang Fu was stunned for a moment, and finally looked at the vicissitudes of life in front of him for the first time.

He was surprised.

Although Jiang Fu knew that Kang Li was the village chief of Kangjia Village, the people of Kangjia Village starved to death many years ago and were killed by bandits. Kangjia Village no longer existed for the remaining twenty people.

Although Kang Li volunteered, he wanted to personally search for the whereabouts of their son-in-law and the third son to repay his kindness.

But the inside story of this matter was extremely complicated. Even the wife clearly stated that in addition to the necessary material support, Jiang could not allocate him one soldier and one soldier during this trip. Therefore, the only remaining Kangjia Village people were able to follow Kang Li to the Changliu Mountains.

But these Kangjia Village people have already integrated into the Jiang family for so many years. Although they are at the bottom of the house, they are much better than lingering.

People are content with the status quo, and not many people are willing to give up their stable days and face dangers and unknowns.

Therefore, Jiang Fu previously estimated that there were more than three or four people from Kangjia Village who were willing to follow Kang Li.

But Jiang Fu never expected that almost all the people in Kangjia Village were willing to take this big risk and follow the former village chief Kang Li to the continuous Changliu Mountains, and voluntarily complete this dangerous search mission.

Jiang Fu put down the cigarette tube in his hand and focused his attention on the vicissitudes of the old servant kneeling on the ground for the first time.

A glimmer appeared in his eyes.

If he hadn't known that the old servant in front of him was the most concerned about Kang Ji, the youngest son who regarded him as his life, was kept in Jiang's family by him. He almost doubted whether the people of Kangjia Village had other purposes and wanted to leave the Jiang family.

But since Kang Li's son and several female relatives in Kangjia Village stayed, they probably wouldn't have such an idea.

Of course, in Jiang Fu's eyes, it would be no big deal if these twenty or so people from Kangjia Village wanted to leave the Jiang family.

Some people outside have sharpened their heads and are unable to enter Jiang's family.

If their wife and son-in-law were not kind-hearted, how could these Kangjia Village villagers who had become untouchables be qualified to be slaves of Jiang?

Thinking of this, Jiang Fu then said: Okay, let’s go.

Kang Li kowtowed respectfully.

I didn't bother the butler to rest, and the villain took his leave.

※※※

Kang Li returned to the lower house where he lived.

The more than 20 people from Kangjia Village were all ready to go and ready to travel far.

village head.

village head.

Seeing Kang Li appear, these Kangjia Village people who had already integrated into the Jiang family surrounded them.

Kang Li waved his hand, glanced at the crowd of tribesmen, and said to everyone: I have told you that Kangjia Village has long been gone, don’t call me the village chief again.

Call me Uncle Li, my current identity is the same as you, and I am all servants of the Jiang clan.

Village Chief... Someone was about to speak.

Um?

Kang Li looked at him with annoyance and said: Didn’t you hear me say anything?

The man from Kangjia Village immediately lowered his head, yes, Uncle Li.

Unlike the humbleness he had just faced with the butler Jiang Fu, Kang Li's old face, which was covered with vicissitudes of life, had a sense of majesty on his face.

From the reactions of the Kangjia Village people, it can be seen that Kang Li still has the prestige in front of everyone.

He said calmly: Are you all ready?

Ready, Uncle Li.

Everyone can set out anytime.

Kang Li nodded, I won’t say anything extra. This trip returned to the Changliu Mountains, and there were many crises along the way, and it was more likely that I would never go back, but what I want to say is...

The wife and my son-in-law are as kind as a mountain to the people of our Kangjia Village, and have a grace to recreate them. Now the whereabouts of my son-in-law and the third young master are unknown. Only we are familiar with the terrain environment of the Changliu Mountains. In this mission, no one is allowed to retreat. Do you understand?

There was no doubt on Kang Li's weathered face.

I understand, Uncle Li!

Kang Li tightened his clothes and then ordered everyone to set off.

A group of people from Kangjia Village took advantage of the night and immediately left the Jiang family mansion.

※※※

In the study room.

After listening to the personal maid's report, Jiang Qingyue was a little surprised.

You mean that almost all the Kang family members set out for the Changliu Mountains?

The maid replied respectfully: Yes, madam, except for the son of the old slave Kang Li and a few female relatives who are not suitable for traveling far away, all the men in Kangjia Village set out.

The maid also heard that before leaving, Kang Li gave the death order to everyone, but did not find any clues about the son-in-law and the third son, and no one was allowed to come back in one day.Jiang Qingyue was a little surprised when she heard this.

This old servant was beyond her unexpected courage and prestige.

After a pause, she opened her mouth lightly and said: There are so many more people traveling, how many horses are the butler allocated him?

Back to his wife, the butler only asked him to assign six or seven horses from the stable, and his appearance was very average.Jiang Qingyue said without hesitation.

While they had just left, they ordered to select a batch of horses of good quality from the stables.

Yes, madam.

After the close maid left, Jiang Qingyue stared at the dark night outside the window and sighed slowly.

※※※

Ten days later.

Yàn's tomb lies in the dense jungle.

His body remained motionless, like a leopard waiting for the appearance of prey.

It has been ten days since he left Coral and Grandpa.

During these ten days, he was running around almost all the time.

Compared to when he set out, his body was ragged at this moment, and his skin outside his exposed clothes was covered with various scars visible to the naked eye.

All of these were left by the people of the Sand Wolf clan.

Located in the southeast of Yin Realm, this place is a dense and wet jungle, and the foothills are covered with all kinds of boring insects and ants.

Yànling ambushed here, motionless, for nearly an entire hour.

His body was buried under the withered branches and leaves, and the ant worms crawled over his body, and he did not move at all.

There was an indescribable light in his eyes, as if there were flames beating.

As grandpa said, after the people of the Shalang clan recognized him as the Chu people in the market that day, the Shalang clan members were indeed waiting for him to fall into the trap.

The night when Yànling left the village, the other party chased after him all the way.

Yànling almost fought and fled all the way. In just the first night, the enemies he killed more than two.

After more than ten days, Yàn Ling didn't know how many enemies he had fought with.

He has been pampered since childhood. For the first time, his hands were covered with blood from the enemy, and Yànling found that he was unexpectedly calm.

Now, facing the relentless enemy, he gave up his previous escape like a stray dog, and turned to ambush here, preparing to fight back, and the blood in his body was faintly excited.

Ruddy sounds came from the front.

The yànling was still ambushed, motionless.

Just because the people of the Shalang clan pursued him relentlessly and wanted to kill him, we can know that the hatred between the Shalang clan and the Chu people is so profound that it is difficult to clear.

These days, he has been chased to great slap. He is holding a breath in his heart and has been thinking about counterattacking.

He had deviated from the direction seriously. If he pursued the people of the Shalang clan endlessly, how could he reach Yinxia Palace and meet the Sword Saint?

Now he finally found a chance to take action, how could Yàn Ling let it go!

The rustling sounds are getting closer and closer.

Yàn Ling holds breath.

Through a gap left by the dead leaves, a familiar tall figure appeared in front of Yànling.

Yànling was ecstatic.

They are the leaders of those Sand Wolf clans!

After more than ten days of escaping, Yàn Ling discovered that this person was best at tracking. Because of this, he was unable to get rid of the enemy.

As long as this person can be killed, Yànling's escape pressure will be greatly reduced.

Three zhang!

Two feet!

One zhang!

It's getting closer.

Yàn Ling held his breath and concentrated his mind. He tried his best to restrain all the breath on his body, buried it in the dead leaves, and merged with this muddy forest to avoid arousing the other party's alertness.

There were also staggering sounds from behind the Sand Wolf Man, and it was obvious that the people in front of him were following him.

For Yànling, opportunities are fleeting!

When the great man of the Sand Wolf tribe finally stepped into the attack range of Yànling without any awareness.

A brush sound.

In the moment without any warning, Yànling suddenly rose up.

If you say that you are wandering in the Yin realm overnight, Yànling's mind will undergo a drastic change, allowing him to grow up from a noble young man who is pampered and elegant.

Then, this ten-day escape journey further tempered him from body to mind.

He completed a thorough baptism, and the blood of the swordsman hidden in Yànling's body was completely activated.

The great man of the Sand Wolf clan just fell down.

The next moment, my whole body was covered with cold hair.

Although he felt cold in his heart, at this critical moment of life and death, he still showed the brave and agility of the Sand Wolf clan.

The big man of the Sand Wolf tribe twisted his waist and rolled on the spot without hesitation, avoiding the fatal sword coming towards Yànling.

But despite this, Yànling's sword still successfully cut a long hole between his neck and shoulders.

Blood splattered.

The big man's snorted screams rang out throughout the mountains and forests.

A few loud shouts came from behind immediately.

The big man of the Sand Wolf tribe was also amazing. He was cut by the Yànling, and he could still endure the severe pain and quickly support himself, while screaming.

Although Yànling couldn't understand the language of the Shalang clan, he also knew that the Han Dynasty was calling for his companions.

He secretly complained in his heart that he was unable to kill the other party.

However, Yàn Ling also understood that if there was a stern showdown, he might not be able to easily defeat the big man of the Sand Wolf clan in front of him. This time, the other party simply relaxed his vigilance and fell into his ambush, but he was so unhelpful.

This sword can be regarded as Yànling let out a strong anger for the past ten days of embarrassing escape.

If you succeed in one blow, you should never stay any longer.

In his previous observations, he knew that the man who issued the order to chase him was the leader of the Sand Wolf clan.

Now that the latter is seriously injured, the other party will inevitably be in chaos and will be unable to make arrangements in a short period of time.

Without this great man's tracking, now is a great time for him to escape.

Thinking of this, Yànling quickly rushed into the depths of the jungle without looking back.

※※※

Yàn Li woke up with difficulty.

While waking up, he felt a violent and unbearable pain coming from his heart.

He forced himself to open his eyes and found himself in a spacious and unfamiliar palace.

At this time, he was lying flat on a thick wooden bed in the palace, and a nearly tear-like pain came from his body.

Countless memories flow back into my mind like sea water.

The final memory scene is when he jumped on the edge of the cliff of the waterfall and flew to block the sword thrown by Nian Zhong, one of the three swordsmen.

He only remembered that he successfully pushed Ai'er away, but his shoulders were also penetrated by Nian Zhong's long sword, and his consciousness was disintegrated.

When he fell heavily from the high cliff into the pool, the moment the huge hydraulic power hit him, he completely lost consciousness.

Is he still not dead?

Where is this?

Yànli suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He struggled to get up, but then the strong and severe pain from his right shoulder almost seemed to tear his body apart.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Yànli's forehead.

In pain, he had to lie back on the bed.

Yàn Li secretly complained in his heart that it was not good.

He had just forced himself to stand up, but he found that his right shoulder could hardly lift up a trace of strength. Thinking of the sword that Nian Zhong penetrated his body, the sword probably had broken the meridians of his right shoulder.

Not only that, he was also wrapped in a circle of thick gauze, and the strong smell of herbs drifted away. He recognized the smell of medicine, which was needed only if the wound was rotten.

Nian Zhong’s sword must have been smeared with poison!

Yàn couldn't help but change his face.

His right hand is likely to never be able to hold a sword again in his life!

For a top swordsman, being unable to hold a sword is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

For a moment, even Yàn Li felt a little depressed.

Thoughts fluctuate.

Soon, another more important thing came to my mind, and Yànli almost subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up again.

If I were you, I should lie back now, instead of thinking about forcing myself to get out of bed.

A sound that was magnetic and beautiful, but with a cold tone of voice came into my ears.

Yànli looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw a beautiful figure slowly stepping in from outside the hall.

She was a very elegant young woman. She looked about twenty years old, and her armor was wrapped tightly around her tall, slender and graceful body, which was very charming.

Her black hair was tickled up, her narrow eyes flashed with bright light, and she looked like a beautiful female leopard ready to go.

The beautiful woman was holding something in her hand. When she approached, Yànli discovered that she was holding a bowl of thick black soup.

A pungent and weird smell floated out of the bowl and filled the entire palace.

Yànli asked with difficulty: Dare you ask, girl, have you saved me?

The beautiful woman did not answer him directly, but said expressionlessly.

Lie down.Yàn Li Wei was stunned, endured the severe pain, and adjusted a slightly higher position.

The beautiful woman sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl, then used a wooden spoon to scoop out the unpleasant thick juice from the bowl and sent it to Yànli's mouth.

Drink it.

Facing the beautiful woman's almost commanding cold tone, Yànli looked at the other person deeply, and said nothing. He ignored the pungent smell of the black soup and drank it in one mouthful.

Seeing his cooperation, the beautiful woman's tense face cleared a little, and then she fed all the medicine soup in the bowl into her belly one by one.

After doing all this, the beautiful woman stood up straight, picked up the empty bowl, moved her long boots and prepared to leave.

Thank you for helping me.Yànli said gratefully to the beautiful figure who left the beautiful woman.

What you want to thank is not me, but my Lord, and you should be grateful for the Lord's mercy.

After the beautiful woman threw down this sentence, she left without looking back.

Left behind Yàn Li lying on the bed, countless questions emerged from his mind.

After the beautiful woman left, she did not come back for a long time.

Yàn is bedridden and unable to move, so he can only focus on the environment he is in at this moment.

This is an extremely spacious palace. Yànli was born into the royal family of the country. He could confirm that his location should be just a side palace in this palace group.

The shape of the palace is very different from the Yàn Kingdom Palace where he was once in and even the Chu Kingdom Palace.

It is not only because the architectural style of this palace is very different from the palaces of various Central Plains that Yàn Li has seen, but also because it has an indescribable exotic atmosphere.

He originally thought he had been wandering to the Great Zhou or Qin bordering the State of Chu, but now he confirmed that this was definitely not a building owned by the Central Plains countries.

It reminds Yàn Li of the Witch Temple.

But Yàn Li is very sure that this place is definitely not a witch temple.

It was not because among the people who ambushed him there was a priest from the Wu Temple, but because of the royal family of the Yàn Kingdom, Yàn had personally visited the Wu Temple.

The Wu Temple was built on the top of a mountain, and it is not on a mountain.

Where is this?

Moreover, the more you realize, the more you become, the more wrong it is.

The surroundings are too quiet, so quiet that it is a bit too much, so unusual.

You should know that no matter what kind of palace it is, at least there will be servants like guards and servants who are moving.

But except for the beautiful woman who had just arrived, Yànli did not hear the second person's voice.

He is extremely powerful and can tell that he is in a range of 100 feet.

Even though Yàn Li has a wide range of knowledge, he can't figure out where he is.

There was a vague guess in his heart, a little shocked, but he was not sure.

No one can answer his questions.

After the beautiful woman left, she had not come back for nearly two hours. In the evening, when the sun was about to set, the familiar footsteps finally rang out again.

The beautiful woman brought Yànli two bowls of very light white porridge, and nothing else.

All drunk.

Her tone still seemed so cold.

Yàn Li didn't say much, but according to her words, he obediently drank the porridge she fed spoonful by spoonful.

After doing all this, the sky gradually became drizzy, and the beautiful woman was ready to leave with an empty bowl.

At this moment, Yàn Li couldn't help but ask her: Miss, is this place in Yin realm?

The beautiful woman glanced at him and said lightly: I heard that the former Prince Yàn had traveled around the Central Plains. Where is this? Do you have no guesses in your mind?Yànli was stunned at first.

Then, an unconcealed shock appeared on his face, which had always been unstoppable.

His guess came true!

He really fell into Yin realm!

What even Yàn Li couldn't even dream of was that the place he was now in was the Yinxia Palace, which was regarded as the god of the sword saint Min Yu, who was regarded as the god of the sword saint!
