In the Taiping Medical Clinic, the farce caused by the arrival of the golden pig made everyone silent.

In the apprentice's dormitory, there is one person and one cat.

Wu Yun whispered about his discovery: "We followed him all the way south. This man is very alert. If something goes wrong, he will immediately stop and observe his surroundings, and then create a suspicious formation to lure those who are following him into taking the bait."

"After going back and forth four times, he finally relaxed and drove a carriage out of the woods near Tuoluo Temple in the south, waiting at the gate of the temple. After a while, I saw Liu Mingming come out of the temple and get on the carriage.

…”

Chen Ji was surprised: "He turned out to be Liu Mingming's coachman? It was he who picked up Master from the hospital to consult Mr. Liu..."

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I guess Liu Mingming doesn't know that there is someone from the Jingchao Military Intelligence Department hiding beside him. Otherwise, why would the Military Intelligence Department need me to communicate with Concubine Yun?"

The lurking position of the coachman Si Cao was so good that the other party could not only keep track of Liu Mingming's whereabouts at any time, but also eavesdrop on Liu Mingming's conversations with others.

The Liu family's coachmen all lived together. If the other coachmen were not wary, the coachman Si Cao could even find out where the other Liu family members had gone, what they had done, and who they had met.

However, why did Si Cao, such a smart and cautious person, take the risk of being exposed and come to Taiping Medical Center this morning... was he here to kill himself?

Chen Ji recalled the conversation between the two officials. Shopkeeper Yuan said, "What are you doing here?"

The coachman Si Cao responded: "What are you here for?"

Immediately afterwards, Shopkeeper Yuan said: "Now that Luo City is under my control, you need to adjust your position."

Chen Ji murmured to himself: "'You need to correct your position.' In what context would you say this?"

Wu Yun raised a paw and raised his hand: "I know this. After I collected a leading civet cat the day before yesterday, it still disobeyed discipline, so I beat it again, and then said, 'Get your position right'

'!"

Chen Ji was shocked, and a spark flashed in his mind: "It turns out that the power of Luocheng's Military Intelligence Department has changed hands. The Coachman Division used to be in charge of Luo City, but now it is the turn of the new Manager Yuan to take charge of the Coachman Division.

Cao was ostracized."

The power of the Military Intelligence Department changed, and after his uncle left power, he lost all his power.

The coachman Si Cao had mentioned many times that his uncle asked him to take care of him. He must have been very close to his uncle, so he naturally became a target of exclusion.

Chen Ji was confused: "But why did he come to Taiping Medical Center this morning? Did he come to kill me?"

Wu Yun looked serious: "He wants to kill you?!"

"Not necessarily," Chen Ji shook his head.

Wu Hongbiao had previously said that the coachman Si Cao wanted to kill them to hand over their names, but Chen Ji had always had a doubt:

The coachman Si Cao looked extremely fierce, but...

When the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty suspected that he had betrayed Zhou Chengyi and betrayed him, no matter how his subordinates complained, the coachman Si Cao did not kill him.

The other party did indeed hang himself upside down for interrogation, but after the interrogation, not even a piece of his skin was broken.

Chen Ji didn't care what others said, he only looked at what others did. Judging from these two doubts, the coachman Si Cao actually had no murderous intentions towards him.

Even if the coachman Si Cao changed his mind and wanted to kill himself to submit his name, the timing was not right.

Last night, he and Liu Mingming were in Dongshi together. The coachman Si Cao must have been there and noticed him.

If the other party wanted to kill me, there were so many opportunities last night, so why wait until this early in the morning to come to the hospital?

Therefore, the other party is not here to kill you.

Now Chen Ji was even more confused: "Then why did he come to the Taiping Medical Center in the morning? What caused a cautious person by nature to come to the medical center quietly while his employer was burning incense and worshiping Buddha? Is there any change?

"

Wait, it's because Shopkeeper Yuan is here.

Coachman Si Cao is not here to kill him, the other party is here to protect him!

Chen Ji laughed at his own inference: "Why is he protecting me... But Wu Hongbiao has either made a mistake or is lying. I have to figure this out. Wuyun, did Wu Hongbiao go out yesterday?"

Wu Yun replied: "No, you didn't bring him food yesterday, so I went back to the hospital to ask Uncle Crow for two pieces of grain pancakes and gave them to him. Don't worry, I put them at the door while he was sleeping, so he didn't notice me.

.”

"Drinking will make things worse..."

At this time, Liang Maoer's voice came from the window: "Brother, why didn't you take action just now?"

Liang Gou'er curled his lips, pulled the bamboo broom, lowered his head and said, "I said that I have three non-helpers, have you forgotten? The eunuchs don't help, and those who are against the eunuchs don't help either."

"But we are friends," Liang Maoer said with a blushing face, "We just went to the Drum Tower to watch the sunrise together in the morning."

Liang Gouer sneered: "There are so many people who have gone to see the sunset with me, do I have to help them all? Don't take what you say while drinking seriously, this is the rule of the bar!"

Liang Maoer was so angry that she snatched his broom: "How did you become like this? You were not like this before!"

Liang Gouer muttered: "The past was before, and the present is now."

Inside the house, Wu Yun looked at Chen Ji: "What just happened?"

Chen Ji was silent for a moment and asked: "Wuyun, if your friend hides many things from you, would you be angry?"

Wu Yun thought for a long time: "I don't know, you are my first and only friend. I have no experience in this area...but I should be angry."

Chen Ji sighed in his heart. Just now Princess Baili left in anger. Perhaps she was angry because everyone had been trained together, drank wine, and watched the sunrise. She already regarded everyone as friends in her heart. But why was there anyone there?

If you don’t want to take action when your friends are in trouble, why are there still people hiding so many secrets?

But Chen Ji had no choice, he could only keep some secrets in his heart.

Wuyun patted the back of Chen Ji's hand: "I'm leaving. There was a fight just now. All my men are waiting for me."

Chen Ji: "...Okay, don't splash blood on yourself."

…

…

When the dark clouds left, Chen Ji slowly closed his eyes and thought about the clues just now.

If Si Cao, the coachman, really had no intention of killing him, did Wu Hongbiao lie? What role did Sicao, the coachman, play in this matter? We can only wait until night to test again.

Chen Ji gathered up the sixteen fires and let himself pass through the black sea of ​​clouds and land on top.

Once upon a time, Chen Ji hated this dream very much. The screams of killing night after night were like nightmares, and he couldn't wake up and sleep unsteadily.

But now he likes it here, not only for the exquisite fighting skills here, but also because he doesn't have to think about complicated interpersonal relationships here.

There is no Military Intelligence Department, no Secret Service, no parents, and no uncle.

Chen Ji here only needs to fight again and again and learn one skill after another, and there is no need to think about anything else.

He turned around and saw Xuanyuan, wearing a black royal robe, sitting on the edge of the cliff and looking into the distance, holding a royal flag.

The battlefield outside the cliff was frozen, the clouds were rolling in the sky, and even Chen Ji's mood calmed down.

He sat side by side with Xuanyuan silently: "Have you been watching all this alone for these years?"

Xuanyuan ignored him.

Chen Ji asked again: "Why are you in my dream?"

Xuanyuan glanced at him: "I am in your dream...are you worthy? This is my world."

Chen Ji: "..."

So this is not a dream, but a real place?

Chen Ji suddenly asked: "Have you ever heard of the forty-nine heavens?"

Xuanyuan was confused: "Where is that place? I have never been there."

Now Chen Ji was confused. It didn't matter if the people around him didn't know about the forty-nine heavens. Even "immortals" like Xuanyuan didn't know about the existence of the forty-nine heavens. Could it be that Li Qingniao was talking nonsense?

"Beiju Luzhou?"

"Never heard of it."

"Then have you heard of Li Qingniao?" Chen Ji asked.

"I've never heard of it," Xuanyuan shook his head: "I've seen 'Blue Bird', but I've never heard of anyone called this name... What nonsense are you talking about?"

The traces are in confusion. Doesn’t everyone know the existence of the forty-nine heavens?

Xuanyuan stood up: "Don't waste time, Feng Huai, give him a sword and practice with him."

Pu Swordsman named Feng Huai nodded: "I obey."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Chen Ji raised his hand and said, "But someone told me that I shouldn't practice sword practice."

Xuanyuan seemed to have heard some big joke: "Are you here to tell me a joke? You shouldn't practice swordsmanship? Some people say you shouldn't practice swordsmanship?! Hahahahaha."

Xuanyuan's laughter rolled out like a roaring bell, and even the clouds were scattered by the sound.

Chen Ji had a stern face: "Is it so funny?"

Xuanyuan pointed at him and wondered: "You used to use a knife!"

Chen Ji: "...Is there still such a thing?"

"The sword is the king of hundreds of weapons, and the sword is the courage of hundreds of soldiers. The sword is the most suitable for you. If you don't practice swordsmanship, what will you do?!"

"Maybe the sword was suitable for me before, but now I want to practice swordsmanship. The person who taught me said that my personality is not suitable for using swords now, and my basic training will be ruined."

"Your current character...what he said is not completely unreasonable," Xuanyuan said with a smile: "But with your little foundation, how can you talk about 'practicing to waste'? After you finish practicing the sword, you will move on to swords, axes, and spears.

, sticks, hammers...you have to practice everything. If you can't master everything, how do you know what methods the enemy will use to fight you? After you practice them all, you will know the way of the world, and you will reach the same goal by different roads."

Liang Gou'er won't let him practice, Xuanyuan will let him practice, who will he listen to?

Chen Ji chose to listen to Xuanyuan because Xuanyuan's realm seemed to be much higher than Liang Gouer...

He looked at Xuanyuan: "If... I mean, if I am really the person you knew back then, what kind of knife did I use back then?"

Xuanyuan stared at the traces for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and pulled out a large sword as tall as a person from the void: "Try this one."

But I saw that the handle of the knife was about two-thirds long, and the blade was about one-third long. There were golden dragon patterns on the handle, and the blade was like snow.

Xuanyuan threw it from the air, and when Chen Ji caught the knife, he was pulled by the weight of the knife and almost fell down.

Chen Ji held the big knife in both hands and swung it a few times, then immediately shook his head: "No, I'm not used to it."

Xuanyuan pulled out a two-foot-waist sword from the void and threw it to Chen Ji: "Try this one again."

The blade of this knife is red, as if it had just been pulled out of magma.

Chen Ji waved it a few more times: "No, I'm not used to it, it's a bit awkward."

This kind of awkward feeling is like a person who was used to using a certain pen of his own. Suddenly he changes to another pen. He can use it and is proficient in it, but he still wants to change back to his previous pen.

Xuanyuan glanced at him, summoned dozens of knives from the void, and stood in the air: "Choose until you like it."

Chen Ji came to the swords one by one. He took off each sword and tried to hold it in his hand to chop. There was a hidden knife dagger, a Yanyue broadsword, a straight-handled knife, and a full-moon scimitar.

He cautiously and carefully compared the differences between each sword. Time passed by, but Xuanyuan didn't urge him at all.

This time, Xuanyuan was extra patient.

Finally, Chen Ji stopped in front of a sharp, narrow and long knife. The blade was three feet three inches long and the handle was two feet two inches. When leaning on the ground, the handle was as high as his collarbone.

Chen Ji held the knife in his hand and asked curiously: "What is the name of this knife?"

"Don't you recognize it?"

"Should I recognize it?"

"Of course you should know it, because it is your knife," Xuanyuan said calmly: "It's called Whale."

"Did I name it?"

"No, I did it."

Chen Ji was silent. It turned out that Xuanyuan had been waiting patiently without saying anything, just to see if he could choose this one.

And there were more than fifty knives hanging in the air at the top. He didn't choose a longer one, nor a shorter one, but this one.

Chen Ji held this "whale" and felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had found a long-lost friend.

At a certain moment, he was also seriously thinking whether he was really the person Xuanyuan said, and the other party did not admit the wrong person.

This impact came very suddenly. Although Chen Ji had apologized for his "former self" before and agreed with Xuanyuan's guess, he actually didn't believe it in his heart. He just wanted to learn more skills on this battlefield.

, learn how to fight, learn how to use the sword.

And now...

Chen Ji raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan: "Why is my knife in your hand? Did you kill me?"

Xuanyuan was silent.

Chen Ji suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, why are you looking like this? Even if you kill me, I will be alive again! By the way, can you give me this knife? Since you said this is your world, then

This knife also exists, right?”

Xuanyuan glanced at him: "If you can defeat Feng Huai within three days, this sword will be returned to you."

Chen Ji casually held a sword in his hand and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Come quickly!"

Xuanyuan looked at Chen Ji and said seriously: "Don't think that you can defeat the giant halberd warrior in one day. The bronze halberd is used in the battle formation to deal with charging horses. It has few changes and is not flexible enough. It is easy to catch the weak points.

.The sword is different. Being able to defeat Feng Huai means that you are qualified to fight in battle."

Chen Ji asked curiously: "I see that the giant halberd warriors and Pu swordsmen you chose are dressed differently from others. They are not ordinary soldiers, right?"

Xuanyuan glanced at him: "Both of them are my subordinates, leaders in the army, and instructors of various weapons."

Chen Ji was helpless, it turned out that he was fighting with the most skilled person, using the opponent's best weapon: "How do I feel... you really want to teach me all the skills of fighting in battle?"

Xuanyuan sneered: "Feng Huai, chop him down."
