Chapter 405: The Ins and Outs (Part 1)

The melee ended, the night had passed, and the east saw white.

The soldiers began to clean up the mess, deal with the corpses burying both the enemies and us, and at the same time tied up the prisoners and locked them up in some of the houses. Li Ling and the others officially focused on the master and apprentice of Shao Qiuxi and Li Moyun, who were still unconscious.

Li Moyun had no intention of resisting and escaping. He asked to trade weapons and let them enter the house. He was still worried and looked at Shao Qiuxi who was still lying on the bed, and asked, "My master..."

"The serious injury and blood loss are too much, but it should not be fatal." A military general who has some experience in bruises and injuries replied, "As long as you can find a doctor to diagnose and treat him as soon as possible, you will wake up soon. However, it is hard to say whether there are internal injuries in the internal organs and other places."

Li Moyun was a little relieved and then clasped his fists at Li Ling and others and thanked him: "Thank you, young master, thank you for helping you..."

"Don't mention this." Xiao Chengzhi spoke quickly and immediately waved his hand, "Aren't you also from the Luotian Sect? Why did they kill you and chase you all the way?"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room stared at Li Moyun at the same time, waiting for him to give an answer. He hesitated for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Actually, I am not a member of the Luotian Sect, only the master is the guardian of the Luotian Sect."

"Oh? Why?" Li Ling also asked curiously. He could see that the relationship between the master and the apprentice was extremely close, no less than the relationship between father and son. Since this is the case, why did Li Moyun, a disciple, not join the Luotian Sect? He also believed that Li Moyun's words at this time should not be lying.

"Because my master said that he had joined the Luotian Sect and had a lot of fighting, he didn't want me to have such a life." After a pause, he looked at Li Ling again, "So since I followed the young master, I have never thought of harming you except for the previous order from my master." Today, he is still uneasy about what happened before and still wants to give an explanation.

Li Ling looked at him and could clearly feel his sincerity, so he sighed softly: "So after all, they are coming to Senior Shao? But he is also the guardian of Luotian Sect and has a noble status. How could they attack him?"

"There is another point, didn't you fall off the cliff that day? Why did you survive and appear here?" Sun Bi asked immediately, but hit another key point.

"I only know that Master has always had conflicts with some people in the church. It seems to be related to a storm many years ago, but the master has never told me what it was." Li Moyun lowered his eyes and said, "As for why we are here, it is actually very simple. Although we fell from the cliff that day, Master inserted his knife into the mountain wall at the last moment, thus saving me and himself."

Although it was just such a simple sentence, Li Ling and the others could imagine the danger at that time. It was a long distance to fall from a cliff that cost hundreds of feet, but the time left for Shao Qiuxi to save himself must be very short. He could do this and save Li Moyun at the same time, which shows how strong he is.

Li Moyun's expression became more and more gloomy: "It is precisely because of this that Master was hit hard, his internal organs were damaged, and he was seriously injured. And I was even more useless and fell into a coma under the shock. It was Master who took me up the cliff step by step despite his worsening injuries. As a result, although he was fine when I woke up, he was seriously injured and unconscious."

This story moved several people. Shao Qiuxi is truly a master in the world. When he was seriously injured, he could even lead people up from the bottom of the cliff, which shows how profound his skills are.

Since he opened up, Li Moyun did not reserve and said everything: "I thought my master and I finally escaped after coming up from the bottom of the cliff, but in the end, we still overestimated the viciousness of those guys.

"At that time, my master and I were both injured. For safety reasons, I planned to find people from the Luotian Sect to heal. At that time, when we showed our identities, those guys were willing to take them in and helped us to treat the doctor. However, after only two days, the situation changed and they actually poisoned our meals.

"Fortunately, my master is experienced and I saw the problem at once, and then I was besieged by them. My master's injuries were gradually stabilized, and it was because of a fight with them that the wounds broke and the situation became more serious. Under the siege of dozens of masters, he wanted to protect me again, so he was even more injured.

"But in the end we broke out of the encirclement and used the local forests to escape with them. For a while, we would chase and fight with them in the forests, and almost no peace would be possible. If Master hadn't risked his life to save me several times, I would have died in the mountains and rivers of Qianzhou.

"But because of this, Master's injuries were not only not treated, but became more and more serious, so in the end he didn't even have the power to fight. I could only bring him here to death... I originally planned to fight one by one, but I met the young master and you..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up and knelt down, and kowtowed: "Young Master, I know that hiding my identity before and plotting against you was my fault. If you want to fight and kill me, Li Moyun, have no complaints at all. I just want you to save my master, please!" As he said that, he kowtowed again, and soon blood was seen on his forehead.

Li Ling and the others were stunned at first, until they saw blood on their foreheads, they quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "You don't have to do this. If we really don't help us, we will not take action."

Xiao Chengzhi also exclaimed: "You two masters and apprentices are a pair of heroes. Since you are heroes, how can you be harmed by them like this? Don't worry, as long as you are willing to walk with us, I will ask someone to treat you, at least I have to treat him."

"Thank you, thank you little marquis." Li Moyun bowed and thanked him again. This time, because Li Ling was supported, he did not kneel down and kowtow again.

However, Sun Bi added another sentence at this time: "But what you did before is contrary to the national law after all, and we still have to pursue this matter."

"I...I know that as long as I can save my master, I will not dare to resist at all even if I can kill my life."

Seeing that he cooperated so much, everyone's vigilance became even more relaxed, so they settled their master and disciple in this room, while others looked for another room in the town to rest. This battle at night made everyone very tired. At this moment, except for the guards, the others naturally had to rest for a while.

However, Li Ling was stopped by Sun Bi when he wanted to return to his residence last night: "Wen Zhong, I just asked some clues from the prisoners. According to their explanation, the killing leader was named Hao Bao, who was the helm leader of the Luotian Sect in Qianzhou. In addition to him, there was also a master in the sect named Xue Linjing who wanted to chase Li Moyun's disciple this time, but he came from the Central Plains."

"Xue Linjing..." Li Ling repeated the name and a light flashed in his eyes: "I know him. According to Long Tianhao, he was also closely related to the Xunyang Rebellion. And the reason why he came to the southwest was to kill me!"

"Hmm? Do you have any grudges with him?"

Li Ling shook his head: "I only knew his name for a while, and I had never seen this person before. In fact, it has been a day or two for Luo Tian Sect to kill me. On the way to the southwest, they had sent people to intercept and kill them halfway, but I was killed. Also, earlier, I was still taking the provincial examination in Xuzhou, and I was also targeted by them. If it weren't for Mo Yun..." Speaking of this, he didn't realize that Li Mo Yun's maintenance and assistance for himself over the years, his expression was gloomy. Who would have thought that this companion who was dedicated to helping him and who trusted him the most, and who was almost like his family would have another identity and purpose.

But soon, he came back to his senses: "So if I expected it well and wanted to figure it out, Xue Linjing was the key. If he held him, he would know who wanted to harm me several times. By the way, isn't he among these prisoners?"

Sun Bi shook her head gently, which made Li Ling panic again: "Don't you just been killed, or was killed by Li Moyun and the others early in the morning?"

"Don't worry, the clues have not been broken, he is still alive." Sun Bi laughed, "It was just because Li Moyun and the others had set up a suspicion array before, which forced the Luotian Sect who was chasing him to split into two groups, so he did not see him. In other words, he also led another team to search for the whereabouts of Li Moyun's disciples everywhere."

Li Ling nodded, and at the same time felt a sense of gladness. If this were the case, this would have been a lucky winner this time. Because if it weren't for the Luotian Sect's troops split into two groups, the one who would have lost this battle might have been his own side.

But then, he understood what Sun Bi was trying to say these things: "So you want to say that we still have a chance to take down this Xue Linjing and ask more things out of him?"

"Yes, do you think you can give it a try?"

"I wait for my leisure to work and set up an ambush here, but my chances of winning are quite good." Li Ling looked at the Lanxi town, and a light flashed in his eyes, "Is it just how to contact him and lead him to come?"

"In fact, there is no need to lead. These two pursuers have always left marks between each other. As long as we keep the marks nearby and cannot find people, they will naturally come to the door." Sun Bi expressed his thoughts with a confident look on his face, "Of course, there is still some danger in the middle, it depends on whether you dare to take a risk?"

"Why don't you dare? And this is for me, but the soldiers took risks for me."

"Haha, this is also a contribution. Our brothers in Dingxi Army only think that there are not enough opportunities." At this time, Xiao Chengzhi also came over and laughed. It was obvious that he knew about this earlier, and he raised his hands to agree to wait for Xue Linjing and the others to fall into the trap.

Li Ling also smiled, but then thought of something and looked at Sun Bi: "But in this way, our itinerary will be delayed here, you..."

Sun Bi looked back at him with a smile: "It's only a few days, and it's better to be delayed than to worry about someone sneak attacking behind him."
