Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 247 Imprisonment in the Mountain
"Where is this? Junior Master, why are you here?"

Shi Xuanling pressed her forehead and felt sore and weak all over. You Ming hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and came over to help her up.

The fragrance of winter plum blossoms outside the window drifted into the house, mixed with the bitter taste of herbs, which inexplicably gave people a soothing feeling.

Shi Xuanling leaned on the bed, looking around with a bewildered face: "I, wasn't I in the hunting grounds of the Chi Nu royal family? That night, I went to shoot Xi Yuehan, but failed. Instead, I was chased by those Blue Flame Shura soldiers he sent. All my arrows were used up, and then, then I... I didn't die?"

Due to the toxicity of the Blue Flame Blood, Shi Xuanling ended up in a deep hallucination that night, and her memory of that period became blurred. She only vaguely remembered that someone saved her, reached out his hand to her, and called her with a very familiar voice... Yes, who was it?

"Uncle Junior Master, did you save me?"

You Ming shook his head, looked at the confused Shi Xuanling, and sighed softly: "Xiao Lingling, do you know that what you said happened more than half a year ago..."

"Wha, what?"

Shi Xuanling couldn't believe it, but her chaotic mind gradually became clear. No wonder, no wonder there was snow outside the window and plum blossoms were blooming. It turned out that she had "slept" for so long.

Before she could recover from her shock, Junior Master You Ming's next words made her heart skip a beat and she was even more shocked -

"Have you really forgotten the person who saved you? He is General Yu of Gumo Country, Tuo Xuanyu, and he is also your husband, Yue Wujiu, whom you personally sent away at sea."

The place where they are now is the royal palace of Gumo Kingdom. After Yue Wujiu rescued Shi Xuanling, although she escaped death, she has been unconscious ever since, as if she had lost her soul, and her breath is getting weaker day by day.

Yue Wujiu was almost going crazy with anxiety. He and Princess Fengzhou tried every possible way to wake Shi Xuanling up but failed. It was not until Zhongli Sheng got to know the news that he immediately brought the miracle doctor You Ming to the Gumo Palace, thus saving Shi Xuanling's life!

At that time, You Ming was still anxiously waiting for the result of Shi Xuanling's assassination in Feng Tower, but he did not expect to receive the news that Shi Xuanling was poisoned and unconscious. He had superb medical skills, and thanks to his brother, he was best at detoxifying all kinds of strange poisons in the world, so fortunately Zhongli Sheng brought him there in time, which stopped the spread of the blue flame poison, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

However, due to the particularity of the Blue Flame Poison, it is not an easy task to completely eliminate the poison from Shi Xuanling's body and wake her up. It took You Ming a full half a year before Shi Xuanling woke up today.

The girl on the bed blinked her eyes. After listening to the explanation, many missing memories slowly flooded into her mind. She seemed to hear that voice again in the distance:
"My wife, Xuan Ling."

Her heart was instantly filled with sorrow and tears welled up in her eyelashes. She couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Where is Ah Yue? I, I want to see him..."

Seeing Shi Xuanling's anxious look, You Ming wanted to say something but paused. Under her scorching gaze, he finally sighed:

"Yue Wujiu has gone to the battlefield, leading his troops as General Yu, because the Chinu tribe has gone to war with the Gumo Kingdom. No, to be exact, it is that madman Xi Yuehan who has gone to war with all the countries on the sea. He has become even more insane after his brother's death. Now most of the small countries have submitted to him, and only a few are still resisting, and Gumo Kingdom is one of them."

"Not only that, the Chinu tribe also attacked Dongmu, and Yunzhou Island was also in flames. The island master Zhongli and General Wen joined forces on the island to fight the enemy and hold the sea defense line... But the Dongmu Dynasty is still in danger because someone rebelled and raised an army in Youzhou, established a small southern court, and named their own country 'Tonglu'!"

You Ming's words contained so much information that Shi Xuanling's heart was beating like a drum. He suddenly thought of something while breathing rapidly and blurted out:
"Yes, Pei Shixi and the Youzhou Lan family rebelled? They took action?!"

You Ming nodded, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "That's right, Xiao Lingling, you simply won't believe it, no, you dare not believe it, during the time you were unconscious, the outside world was in turmoil, wars were raging, lives were lost, the Feng family was also in turmoil, and even the clan leader was imprisoned in the Qingli Mountains!"

Yes, the Restorationists, led by Pei Shixi, colluded with the Chinu tribe and rebelled. Pei Shixi only wanted to overthrow the Kuang Dynasty and didn't care about anything else, even if it meant inviting a wolf into the house and cooperating with a madman! No, he himself was a madman. He took Concubine Rou and the twelfth prince away, and established a small Tonglu court in Youzhou. Under the banner of "clearing the court and removing the evil queen", he went all the way to the imperial city. His aggressiveness frightened the Queen Wei family, and Emperor Yun was directly furious!

The Lan family has been rooted in Youzhou for many years. On the surface, they appear to be independent, indifferent and uninvolved in government affairs. But in fact, they are secretly recruiting soldiers and planning step by step, always preparing for an uprising. The Danxi Horse Farm is their best cover. In other words, it is their "military camp"!
The current head of the Lan family is Lan Yubai. He follows Pei Shixi loyally and is the strongest force in the Restoration Party. He has truly fulfilled his oath -

King Huofeng Ming is here, and the Helan clan swears allegiance to the death, and they have made a hundred-year alliance until death!
Because of this, the so-called Tonglu small court was really well organized, with strong financial resources, powerful soldiers and horses, and joined hands with the Chinu tribe to attack Dongmu from both inside and outside, making Dongmu's kingdom precarious. The whole country was in chaos, and Emperor Yun was now in a state of panic and even seriously ill!

The Feng clan was also completely divided internally. The Restoration Faction and the Green Protection Faction finally tore apart the window paper in between. More than half of the clan members supported Pei Shixi and followed him in doing crazy things like moths to a flame. The remaining clan members and clan leader Qi Yuan were imprisoned together in the Qingli Mountains. Pei Shixi finally took action against them.

"What? Pei Shixi attacked the tribesmen. Is he so cruel that he wants to kill his fellow tribesmen?"

When Shi Xuanling heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, he was shocked and angry, his blood boiling and he suddenly clenched his hands.

You Ming was afraid that she would get emotional, so he said hurriedly, "No, he just locked up the Shouqing faction headed by the clan leader, fearing that they would ruin his "great cause". Although Pei Shixi acted crazy and put the people of the world in dire straits, he was actually wholeheartedly devoted to restoring the Feng family. He would never kill anyone from the same clan. He was just too obsessed with the dream of restoring the country that had been passed down from generation to generation..."

The reason why You Ming knew all this was because he had returned to Qingli Mountain halfway. He originally wanted to find a medicinal herb in the mountains to cure the unconscious Shi Xuanling, but he did not expect that drastic changes had already taken place in the clan. He secretly went to rescue the clan leader, but was discovered by the Restoration Faction and was brought before Pei Shixi.

"I was originally an undercover agent planted by Master in the Restoration Faction. Now that my identity has been exposed, Pei Shixi is naturally furious because he has guessed everything I did in secret."

"Master Junior, you mean on the sea..."

Shi Xuanling's heartstrings moved, and she understood immediately. You Ming also nodded and said, "Yes, he guessed that I was the one who cured Yue Wujiu of the poison and helped you escape from the sea. He didn't believe that you two living people would die in a shipwreck. It's just that he couldn't find your whereabouts. Now that he has captured me, he wants to learn about you and Yue Wujiu from me, especially your whereabouts. After all, you are the destined person of the Feng family..."

"I was imprisoned in a dungeon by the Restorationists. Although Pei Shixi did not kill my clansmen, he had to torture me to get me to reveal your whereabouts. After all, this is what he, the former head of the Pacification Division, is best at. He also found Zuo Chong and asked him to use poison to control me, making me lose my mind and confess obediently..."

That darkest and most dangerous experience was now reduced to a few words from You Ming's mouth. Shi Xuanling could easily imagine the suffering he had endured at that time. She felt extremely distressed when she heard it. When she was about to speak, You Ming smiled and said softly:
"It's a pity that Pei Shixi underestimated me. I have used my hands to cure so many poisons in the world. Could Zuo Chong's poison make me lose my mind and betray you? Moreover, he also underestimated the brotherhood between Zuo Chong and me."

"Brotherhood?"

"Yes, although we have different positions and are in different camps, we are twin brothers connected by blood after all..."

You Ming paused, a deeper smile appeared in his eyes, and his tone became softer. He looked into the void, as if he saw a certain cold and arrogant figure again:

"No matter how naughty and vicious that guy is, no matter how much he dislikes me, I am still his biological brother after all. He stabbed his own arm, fabricated a false situation, and let me go..."

Everything that happened that day seemed to still resurface in front of her eyes. Shi Xuanling was deeply moved after hearing this. Unexpectedly, You Ming suddenly changed the subject and said to her seriously:
"Xiao Lingling, I actually want to tell you one thing. You must not get too excited. After all, you just woke up and your body has not fully recovered yet."

Hearing You Ming's heavy and solemn tone, Shi Xuanling's face also changed, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, You Ming looked at her and said word by word:
"In fact, there is still a person imprisoned in Qingli Mountain. That person is also closely related to you."

"Yes, who was locked up?"

"Your biological father, Shi Zhongqing."
