For some unknown reason, Xiang Shu suddenly became exhausted, but his consciousness was still awake. Chen Xing helped him to the backyard and put him on a sickbed in Huichuntang. Xie Daoyun had checked the pulse and glanced at Chen Xing, did not speak.

"Have you met anyone during this time?" Xie Daoyun asked.

Chen Xing: "We just arrived in Jiankang the day before yesterday, and we saw a lot of people, but we didn't...strange people."

Xie Daoyun asked again, "What have you eaten?"

Chen Xing couldn't help recalling that they lived in Xie's house, and Xie's family's food was as usual. Yesterday in Dongzhe, Xiang Shu didn't drink their tea, but he drank a lot. After nightfall, he only drank at Feng Qianjun's house, Feng Qianjun would never come to plot against them.

Chen Xing answered in turn, Xie Daoyun Fang knew that the guest of his uncle's house was Chen Xing.

Chen Xing held on to Xiang Shu's hand and injected the heart lamp into the meridians of Xiang Shu's body. The strange thing was that there was no abnormality.

"Could it be..."

Xie Daoyun did not answer.

Xiang Shu didn't fall asleep, he only raised his other hand and rubbed his thumb a few times between his eyebrows. Chen Xing said, "Xiang Shu, are you sleepy?"

"It's not sleepy." Xiang Shu frowned, but he didn't have the strength, "Go back first."

At this time, Gu Qing brought a bowl of thickly boiled medicinal soup over, Chen Xing smelled the strong ginseng flavor, Xiang Shu said, "I don't need to drink this, I'm not sleepy, it's not a plague."

"Do you want to drink?" Chen Xing said.

Xiang Shu seemed a little annoyed and stretched out his hand to block, but Chen Xing couldn't help but say: "I'll feed you a drink, you're obedient."

Xie Daoyun observed the relationship between the two, then glanced at Gu Qing again, Gu Qing smiled reluctantly, and nodded at Xie Daoyun, meaning "it's what you think". Xie Daoyun's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he seemed a little worried.

Xiang Shu said: "Okay, I'll drink it myself!"

Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu didn't like to show his weakness in front of people, so he didn't force him, and when Xiang Shu drank the bowl of soup, he felt refreshed on the spot.

"What herbs are in it?" Chen Xingchao asked Xie Daoyun.

"Ginseng, Eucommia, Tzuduan, Psoralea..." Xie Daoyun's face was as usual, and he continued to talk about more than ten herbs, all of which were great tonics of scorching yang, "The recipe prescribed by the master."

Xiang Shu got up after drinking the medicine, and didn't want to stay in the medicine hall.

Chen Xing then got up. Anyway, what he should have known, it was probably clear from Xie Daoyun, so he had to apologize. Xie Daoyun didn't ask them for medicine, so he asked Gu Qing to send the two out, prepared a car, and sent them back to Xie's house. .

"Is it better?" Chen Xing was half frightened by Xiang Shu, and half frightened himself. After all, Xiang Shu had always been an omnipotent image in his mind, but he gradually forgot that no matter how high his ability was, he was a flesh-and-blood body that had to eat, drink and sleep. He panicked, was so anxious and worried that he kept pressing Xiangshu's pulse gate in the car.

Xiang Shu was thinking, but did not answer Chen Xing. Chen Xing called out several times in a row. Xiang Shufang came back to his senses, and when he met his gaze, he said angrily, "I said, don't get sleepy, don't you believe me?"

Chen Xing had no choice but to nod. For a while, he didn't know what to do. He just hoped it wasn't a big trouble.

"More than two years ago, when I was investigating Keyella's whereabouts, and heading south from Luoyang, I encountered exactly the same situation," Xiang Shu said, "and was captured by the Jin army."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Chen Xing remembered, he was still wondering for a while at that time, how did Xiang Shu get caught with such skills?

"In an instant, I lost all my strength." Xiang Shu frowned.

"How did it go?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.

Xiang Shu said to himself: "I don't know, maybe it's because I took your medicine, maybe I recovered before I saw you, but the Han people didn't provide me with food and water, so I couldn't break free. I was caught in Xiangyang. After that, I was weak for a while."

Xiang Shu raised his hand and raised his epee, barely able to lift it, but the movement was obviously sluggish and weak.

"It's like all of a sudden, all the strength dissipated," Xiang Shu muttered, "What's going on? Chen Xing, can you calm down?"

"I... what's wrong with me?" Chen Xing said at a loss, "Do I look flustered?"

Xiang Shu frowned and said, "You look like you have the plague. If you were fine last time, you will be fine this time."

Chen Xing calmed down a little and said, "I...because I'm a little scared."

Chen Xing held on to Xiang Shu's hand, Xiang Shu looked at him for a moment, Chen Xing finally calmed down and said, "Let's take a day off and see."

Chen Xing observed Xiang Shu's condition that day, and suspected some kind of chronic disease, which made him more and more puzzled. Xiang Shu was not as drowsy and sleepy as Xie Daoyun had described. plague. However, it is also possible that the physique itself is strong and the symptoms are not obvious after infection.

That night, Chen Xing moved into Xiang Shu's room and slept with him. The next morning, Xiang Shu woke up as usual. Chen Xing thought to himself that he was really thankful. When he got up, he followed the pulse described in the item. The pulse was strong and it was normal.

"How do you feel?" Chen Xing asked.

Xiang Shu got up, tried to pick up the heavy sword, and said, "No, even making a move is difficult. If an enemy comes, it will be quite troublesome."

With that said, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing exchanged glances, and both felt danger to each other. Chen Xing murmured, "Could it be them? Has Shi Hai's hand reached here?"

Xiang Shu said: "Not necessarily, at least so far, no trouble has come to the door, they may not know the situation of my weakening, we are still in the dark, but we must be very careful and take it seriously. After the farewell was told, I always felt that it was inappropriate. It is impossible for Shi Hai to give up the south, and he must have had the idea of ​​Jiankang long before the battle of Xiangyang."

At first, Chen Xing suspected that the plague was related to Shihai. Even if Shihai did not personally or dispatched staff to go to Jiangnan, the spread of the epidemic was all due to it. A lot of complicated information interfered with his judgment, and made him feel that this matter might not have much to do with him?

Did you guess the wrong direction from the beginning? Chen Xing began to feel that there was some unknown danger lurking under the bustling appearance of Jiankang City. If it is assumed that Shi Hai's subordinates are already lurking in the south of the Yangtze River, planning to overthrow the peaceful Jin court, but the implementation of his plan is not as smooth as the land in the north, then everything in front of him can make sense.

"You're right," Chen Xing admitted, "I took it lightly."

Xiang Shu nodded, as if his momentum was not diminished by the loss of force. Chen Xing also discovered that Xiang Shu was only losing his physical strength, but his mind was still clear, not like the "lost soul" that is usually described.

Chen Xing then adjusted the prescription and asked Xie's family to buy medicinal materials, removing several drugs prescribed by Xie Daoyun, and focusing on enhancing physical strength. Xie An came down to court as usual, and invited Chen Xing and Xiang Shu out for dinner. Chen Xing began to ask if there had been strange people haunting the four places of Jiankang, Danyang, Kuaiji, and Moling in the past year.

"No." Xie An thought about it and said, "What's wrong? I heard that you went to see Dao Yun yesterday?"

Chen Xing and Xiang Shu had briefly discussed it before, and decided to leave today to investigate seriously. There is no longer any delay, so he said, "I won't bother you in the next few days, we have to go out."

Xie An said to Chen Xing: "I sent someone to Kuaiji a few days ago to find the source of the book that I can't remember. I guess I'll be back today and tomorrow, so I won't wait any longer?"

Xiang Shu: "The things in front of you are more important, so keep it for now. Maybe you can meet it in Kuaiji."

Xie An hesitated, and after a while asked again, "Is there anything I can help you with? Why do you have to leave in such a hurry?"

Chen Xing had no doubts about Xie An. If they really wanted to figure it out, they had already figured it out, and they wouldn't wait until now, but Xiang Shu's loss of force was always better if one less person knew about it, so he just said it was related to the plague. Xie An nodded slowly when he heard the words, but at this moment, Xie Daoyun came with Gu Qing.

"Is it better?" Xie Daoyun said as soon as he entered the door, and nodded to Xie An. After seeing the ceremony, he came over to check Xiang Shu's pulse, and looked at Chen Xing, who slowly shook his head.

"Brother Xiang is not feeling well?" Xie An asked.

"No." Chen Xing replied immediately.

Xie Daoyun checked and found that Xiang Shu was similar to yesterday, but he was not drowsy and not a plague, and he was really suspicious. After a while, another person came to visit Xie An. It was the owner of Dongzhe Qianzhuang, but this time, it was no longer Wen Zhe, but several men.

Today, Xie An’s house is really lively and lively, I saw the visitor holding a box full of land deeds, and said to Xiang Xiang: “Master Shulu, this is the land deed that my wife asked me to bring, and there is really not so much money in the bank. Now, I have to offset some of the properties I bought in Jiankang, Kuaiji and other places a few years ago, I don’t know what you think.”

Xie An was stunned. Chen Xing waved his hand to signal him not to ask. After reading the land deed, it turned out that Wen Zhe went back and calculated that he didn't have so much cash. Such a move.

"Let it go," Xiang Shu said as usual, "How much is left after the calculation?"

The visitor respectfully said: "The land deed and property here are equivalent to one million taels of silver. There are still two million taels to be paid. Madam asks Lord Shulu to give you another half a year of grace."

"Hey! Uncle!" Xie Daoyun hurriedly stepped forward to carry Xie Anshun's back, and Xie An almost fainted when he heard the words.

"Okay." Xiang Shu saw that the other party even took out the land deed, which shows his sincerity. , said happily: "The adults are asked to leave a note, and the small ones can go back and do business."

"What I said by Shulukong doesn't count?" Xiang Shu said coldly, "You can go back now, or I'll have to change my mind."

The man had to obey and withdrew, and when he was leaving the Xie residence, someone came again, it was Feng Qianjun.

Feng Qianjun and the envoy passed by. He was well-informed and obviously heard about it today, so he entered and said, "Brother Xiang, are you alright?"

Everyone in the hall gave him a wink, but Xie An subconsciously wanted to run, Feng Qianjun said impatiently: "I won't chase your debts, Master Xie, I will give you another year!"

After half an hour, Xiangshu was in the room.

Chen Xing was packing up, Feng Qianjun sat down and observed Xiang Shu's face, Xiang Shu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

"How dare I not come?" Feng Qianjun heard Gu Qing's story last night and knew it was broken. Early this morning, he sent someone to listen to the wind outside Xie's house, and when he saw Xie An coming to court, he hurried over to check the situation, "The day before yesterday. The wine I drank at my house at night happened yesterday, how dare I not come?"

Xiang Shu replied: "It has nothing to do with your wine, I know that in my heart."

Feng Qianjun said, "Are you going to Kuaiji now?"

Chen Xing replied, "I can't wait for the news from Senior Brother Xie, I have to go as soon as possible."

Feng Qianjun made a decisive decision and said, "I will go with you."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu nodded, finding out the whereabouts of the corpse was also Feng Qianjun's purpose. Now Xiang Shu has lost all his strength, and with Feng Qianjun here, he must be safe after all.

So Feng Qianjun went to do some work. In the afternoon of the same day, the three set off for Kuaiji.

Somewhere in the dark underground, several tortuous underground rivers meet here. When the river water passes through the lowland, it lights up with a little flash. The banks on both sides of the underground river are full of strange glowing flowers.

The sea of ​​​​flowers turned the dark space into blue, and the flowers were full of butterflies with bright white wings.

In the flower sea, in the shoal in the heart of the river, there is a tortuous circle covering an area of ​​nearly mu. The circle glows with a dark blue shimmer. This circle draws energy from the thousands of butterflies in the ground. Flickering and weak.

In the center of the circle, lies a huge snake with a sharp horn on its head, surrounded by an endless stream of black energy, with its eyes tightly closed.

Wen Zhe stood outside the magic circle, holding a small hand clock in his left, and looked at the big snake quietly.

"According to your instructions yesterday, the power of the Dragon Binding Formation was enhanced." Wen Zhe raised his slender brows slightly and said, "But I don't understand, what's the use of this?"

"A try." said the man behind Wen Zhe.

Wang Ziye appeared on the outer coast of the glowing flowers, and three black-armored warriors waded in the water beside him. Wen Zhe suddenly felt surprised and glanced back. The three kings appeared at the same time, which surprised her.

"What attempt?" Wen Zhe asked again, "The refining is about to succeed. At this time, the Dragon Binding Formation is suddenly strengthened. Lord Shihai, what do you want to do?"

Wang Ziye held a black fan, shook it casually, and said, "The Dragon Binding Formation is full of power, in order to confirm a person's identity. Facts have proved my guess, and it should not be taken lightly."

Wen Zhe said contemptuously: "As for what? You sent me three?"

Wen Zhe turned around and examined the three kings who came to him.

Wang Ziye said: "Underestimate the enemy's carelessness, which led to the fiasco of Feng Qianyi, Zhou Zhen and Zhou Yi, and the king lost two more. My lord has issued a strict order, Wen Zhe, don't overturn the boat in the gutter."

Wen Zhe: "That's not to say, the grievances that Luohunzhong can collect is limited. If this goes on, the power that Lihunhua draws from the leylines won't last long."

Wang Ziye replied: "It doesn't matter, they are powerless now, what are their movements?"

Wen Zhe: "The exorcist left Jiankang today."

Wang Ziye said leisurely: "I know that although the truth is already eight | nine and ten, it is always good to confirm it carefully. I will go and meet them for a while."

"Be careful yourself." Wen Zhe said.

Wang Ziye made a gesture and took the three kings away, leaving Wen Zhe to stand alone. After a while, Wen Zhe walked into the Dragon Bound Formation and gently stroked the eyelids of the giant flood dragon with a gentle expression.

Two days later, Jiankang was on the official road leading to Kuaiji.

"Xiang Shu, are you okay?" Chen Xing asked Xiang Shu.

Xiang Shu's sword was tied to the horse's back, and he followed Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun into the mountain forest. Spring came to the south of the Yangtze River, and the hills were full of terraced fields, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Feng Qianjun slowed down his horse and said to Xiang Shu: "I still remember that more than a year ago, we also went to Chang'an like this, and before you know it, a year has passed."

Xiang Shu didn't speak, and Chen Xing deliberately slowed down a little bit because he was afraid of his weakness.

"It's time for me to stay in Jiankang," Xiang said. "It's holding you back."

Chen Xing frowned and said, "How can you say that?"

Xiang Shu said: "I am a little worried about leaving the magic weapon in Xifeng. But I am even more worried about letting you go to Kuaiji by yourself."

Feng Qianjun: "Hey, brother Xiang, I have heard it all. So in your eyes, I am not a human..."

Item Description: "Money."

"Don't!" Feng Qianjun said immediately, "Brother, I'm not human! I'll go ahead and find the way for you!"

Before Chen Xing and Xiang Shu left the city, they had temporarily deposited the Yin-Yang Jian, the Drum, and the set of rings in the secret room of the Xifeng Bank. After all, Xiang Shu had lost all his strength.

"It'll be fine," Chen Xing said calmly. "Occasionally I can protect you. My luck has always been good, as long as you don't leave me too far."

The three passed through a canyon, and Feng Qianjun, who was walking at the front, suddenly slowed down.

Chen Xing and Xiang Shu stopped behind Feng Qianjun.

"What did you guess?" Feng Qianjun said, "Chen Xing, do you think it was Shihai that made Brother Xiang sick?"

Chen Xing thought: "Maybe, but it still needs evidence to support it."

Feng Qianjun asked again: "What did Xie An say? What did he send to Kuaiji to investigate for you?"

Chen Xing: "???"

Item Description: "..."

I saw Feng Qianjun rode his horse and reached the depths of the canyon, a pale corpse hanging from a tree in front of the stream. The corpse was dressed in Jin people's clothing, with a waist badge hanging from the jacket.

The three dismounted, Feng Qianjun took off the waist card from the corpse, and wrote the number "Da Jin Zhong Shu Jian Lin".

Chen Xing looked at his waist card and said, "This is the person from the Zhongshujian? It's Xie An's subordinate. Why did he... die here?!"

Suddenly, the corpse roared wildly, opened its cloudy eyes, and grabbed Chen Xing!

"Be careful!" Although Xiang Shu had no force, his reaction was not slow at all. Pulling Chen Xing away, Chen Xing was taken aback and raised his hand to sacrifice his heart lamp.Roar, he was hung from a tree with his neck tied, he had nowhere to escape, he was only struggling, his appearance was extremely terrifying!

At the height of the canyon, Wang Ziye, who watched this scene in a leisurely manner, seemed to find it very interesting, so he laughed.

The three kings behind him stood with their swords in place.

Wang Ziye waved his fan and ordered, "Let's go."

Immediately afterwards, the kings bowed, turned into black shadows, and jumped off the cliff!

The next moment, Feng Qianjun suddenly wrapped his left hand around his back, and pressed his right hand to his waist. In an instant, both knives came out. Xiang Shu turned around, smashed Chen Xing with his shoulders, and took him to the side.

The three kings in the air shot out their swords at the same time, each taking one person. Before Feng Qianjun turned around, he held two swords on his back to block a move. Chen Xing was thrown on the ground by Xiang Shu and rolled to avoid it!

"Enemy attack!" Feng Qianjun shouted, "Let's go!"
