Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 338 Secret
“Quick…quick…”
Xu Zun used the first aid knowledge he had acquired in his previous life to stop the bleeding from the injured traveler's neck.
Just now, fortunately, the warrior dodged subconsciously, otherwise his trachea would have been taken down by Ku Niang.
Even so, he was seriously injured, with blood , and his condition was worrying.
Xu Zun helped stop the bleeding, and other warriors also came forward to help. Some stitched the wounded, some applied hemostatic powder, and some sealed the wounded's acupuncture points ...
After some emergency rescue, the traveler's life was temporarily saved, but whether he could survive depended on his luck.
When the walker was carried away, the entire restaurant fell silent .
Even though Xingzhe's martial arts skills were not the best among them, they were still above average.
Even in the arena battle on Gufeng Island, he was the only one who was not injured.
Logically speaking, even if he was not Ku Niang's opponent, he should have been able to compete with her, but no one expected such a tragic situation.
As a result, the look in everyone's eyes was no longer curiosity, but horror!
So horrible!!!
It's shameful.
Based on this, the warriors inferred that Wang Dian's martial arts were even more unattainable and unimaginable.
However, everyone did not know that due to the lemon poison, Ku Niang did not show her absolute strength in the battle with Wang Dian.
Xu Zun thought that perhaps the gap between Ku Niang’s martial arts and Wang Dian’s was not that big?
Of course, at this moment Xu Zun felt more relieved. First, Ku Niang was not injured. Second, although Ku Niang had lost her memory, her fighting power had not weakened in the slightest.
On the contrary, Xu Zun felt that Ku Niang's martial arts seemed to be more advanced than before. I wonder if the lemon toxin is actually beneficial to Ku Niang's martial arts?
"Who in the world can compete with me in martial arts?" Zhao Xin said dejectedly, "There are always people who are better than you..."
Zhao Xin was so shocked that he was incoherent.
"Yes," Zhao Yu said with emotion on the other side of Xu Zun, "Mao Jifang, who is known as the best in the world, is probably no more than this, right?"
"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, muttering in anger, "Why do you have so many best in the world? Before it was Yue Jinglei, then it was Wang Dian, and now it's Mao Jifang. Who is the best in the world?"
"Alas," Zhao Yu said with a wry smile, "People's words are scary. The main reason is that we have never seen a true master. I always feel that the legendary ones are the strongest!"
"Sir," Ku Niang looked at her hands and said, "It seems that Ku Niang's power is still there, and I can still protect you!"
Ku Niang's eyes were still fierce and deep, but in Xu Zun's eyes, they were full of tenderness, which moved him.
"None of this matters," Xu Zun held Ku Niang's hand, "What matters is that you are by my side!"
"Yes." Ku Niang nodded in agreement, no longer showing no reaction like before.
…
As the sun sets, the sea remains calm.
The afterglow of the setting sun and the red clouds all over the sky are a beautiful sight.
On the bow of the boat, Shen Xingran was having a conversation with Xu Zun, both of them holding wine jugs in their hands.
All of this wine was stolen from the hall by Dai Long and his companions when they retreated from Gufeng Island.
It tastes spicy and mellow, so the alcohol content should be quite high.
"...I really couldn't have imagined," Shen Xingran said with a complicated expression, "that Jiying would become the Grand Xuan Judge!
"Thinking back to when you were little and were often bullied by my brothers and sisters, I really didn't expect you to be so successful!"
Xu Zun nodded happily. Although these memories were not his own, they were still impressive.
"I remember," Xu Zun said with a smile, "every time I was bullied, it was Big Brother Shen who came to save me."
"Don't blame Xinglian and Xixi," Shen Xingran said, "They are young and ignorant, and don't understand the relationship between our two families."
"How could that be? If Mr. Shen hadn't taken me in, I, Xu Zun, would have frozen to death on the street!" Xu Zun raised the wine pot, "Come on, Brother Shen, this glass is for you. No matter what happens, you are always my good brother!"
"You..." Shen Xingran heard something and was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xu Zun drinking, he said, "If Xu Siqing knew about this in his afterlife, he would be proud of Jiying!"
After saying that, he also tilted his head back and took a big sip.
The wine was spicy, and both of them smacked their lips after drinking it.
However, the wine is rich and mellow, and after the spiciness wears off, you will feel an endless aftertaste.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun said, "Regarding the matter between Mr. Shen and Xixi, I..."
"I understand," Shen Xingran said, "The great changes in the family are beyond human control, so don't blame yourself too much.
"After I go back, I will definitely find Xixi and try to persuade her. Jiying..." Shen Xingran said, "If I can successfully complete the task this time, then... you can also help me persuade Xixi!"
"Yeah." Xu Zun agreed, but his heart was filled with complicated feelings.
If Shen Xingran knew that Mr. Shen’s death was related to Shen Qian, how would he react?
Next, the two drank and chatted, and they both had a lot to say.
Shen Xingran kept asking Xu Zun about the whole incident of the fake Qiu Yongnian, and seemed to have some doubts about the murder of Mr. Shen.
Xu Zun took the opportunity to test Shen Xingran's attitude and find out whether he really worked for Princess Ronghua.
But Shen Xingran always avoided it deliberately, obviously not wanting Xu Zun to know too much.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun asked, "How much do you know about the defection of the Imperial Master Qiu Dingtian two years ago?"
"Oh?" Shen Xingran was surprised, "Why does Jiying ask these questions?"
"Nothing," Xu Zun said, "Because there are still doubts about the Xuanmen Heavenly Tribulation incident, I want to understand it. At that time, Brother Shen had already joined the Ministry of War and became a disciple of Yuan Su, so I wanted to ask Brother Shen."
While speaking, Xu Zun carefully observed Shen Xingran's subtle expressions, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with him.
"Is that so?" Shen Xingran thought for a moment and warned, "From now on, you must be careful about the matter of Master Qiu and don't mention it in the court!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Why is that?"
"Master Qiu..." Shen Xingran said, "It shouldn't be a defection, but... but..."
"Not defecting?" Xu Zun was surprised. "Then why?"
"I heard from people," Shen Xingran said, "that the Imperial Master may have mastered some secrets that he shouldn't know, and was hunted down, so he had no choice but to flee to Xiazhou."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Xu Zun was surprised, but what Shen Xingran said happened to confirm his previous guess.
If the imperial teacher was really guilty of treason, then his disciples would inevitably be implicated.
"This... is just hearsay," Shen Xingran said, "Because it involves the royal family's top secrets, they lied to the public that the imperial master had passed away.
"Ji Ying, you must be careful. The matter of Imperial Master Qiu is kept secret. No one in the court dares to mention it."
"I understand," Xu Zun nodded, "Since it involves the royal family's top secrets, I naturally can't talk about it carelessly."
"Master Qiu is nearly a hundred years old," Shen Xingran said, "At such an old age, why would he still want to rebel?"
call……
Xu Zun secretly exhaled, and he understood in his heart that since Qiu Dingtian was being hunted by the Queen Mother, then the so-called royal secret must be related to the Queen Mother?
How many secrets does Empress Dowager Lin hide?
