Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 939 Lin Yi's Death
This roar almost condensed all the anger accumulated over the years, but it stopped abruptly in the next moment.

Abrupt and hasty.

In the tower not far away, the girl sitting behind the Tianxinqin was also startled, her face was completely bloodless, and blood was spilling from her lips...

Lin Yi stared in astonishment at the half-sword that suddenly "grew" from his chest. The sword shone fiercely, and the tip of the sword was stained with blood. The blood dripped down the sword onto the cobblestone ground, seeping into the cracks and dyeing the soil dark brown. Then, belatedly, the pain began to spread from his chest to his limbs, and even breathing hurt.

He wanted to turn around to see who it was, but even twisting his neck seemed extremely difficult.

The thick fog in front of him was fading, revealing the withered appearance of all things in the deep winter. The beautiful pebble was just an ordinary stone. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that there was no such thing as the eye of the formation. How could Ji Wuyan be so stupid as to place the eye of the formation right under his nose? All this was just a trick to attract his attention and make him relax his mind, so that he could take advantage of it.

The birds' singing and the piano sounds disappeared, and then he realized that after coming in and walking for so long, he was still standing in the same place where he started, without moving an inch.

"It seems... that piano sound is the key." Lin Yi lowered his head and smiled foolishly. Knowing that he didn't have much time left, he stopped struggling in vain. He looked up at the still dim night, and chatted with the person behind him with a bored smile, "I'm going to die anyway, so tell me, what is the mystery of this piano sound? I'm not someone who is easily disturbed. It's just an ordinary illusion and bird calls. It definitely won't make me lose my mind like this."

The person behind him didn't hide it from him. He was going to die anyway, so why not let him die with a clear mind? He said, "There is nothing important on the tower, only a harp, which is the core of the formation tonight. As for the stone in front of you... She said that you are suspicious and arrogant by nature. If others see this strange stone, they will definitely avoid it carefully because they are afraid of fraud. But you are different. Instead, you will not avoid it and let others find out what it is."

That's right.

"I just didn't expect that the one who attacked tonight was actually the Third Master of the Ning Family. The sword in Third Master Ning's hand doesn't look ordinary. He must have been hiding his incompetence in the past." Lin Yi smiled bitterly, but he couldn't smile anymore. With his mouth drooping, he asked the last question weakly, "What kind of zither is that?"

"Mingqin Tianxin."

It turned out to be the Tianxin Qin... The rumors about Tianxin have faded now. Maybe people in the streets and alleys will be confused when they talk about Tianxin, but in the eyes of people who learn to play the qin, it is a sacred existence. But in the end, it is just a legend. No one has ever seen what the Tianxin Qin looks like.

I didn't expect that here. As expected of the Ji family of Yunzhou, any treasure is as easy to get as you want. No wonder the formations Ji Wuyan used were all tricks, without any killing power... It turned out to be because of the Tianxinqin. But I still think that the little girl is not well-trained and can't set up a more sophisticated formation... It's ridiculous, in the end, I am the arrogant frog in the well.

"Ji Wuyan is quite good at judging people... He is suspicious by nature and arrogant because of his talent. That's exactly what he said about me. It's not unfair that I lost. It's not unfair that I lost!" Lin Yi lowered his head and smiled. He swallowed the blood foam that surged into his mouth, then raised his head and smiled foolishly. As he smiled, more blood foam surged out of his mouth and blocked his throat. He said intermittently, "Apologize... for me..."

He could not speak a word or a sentence. He would spit blood foam after saying a few words. He finished speaking with a face full of pain, then fell straight to his knees, tilted his head, and closed his eyes.

Ning Xiuyuan then turned his head to look at the darkness beside him and asked the old man with a sighing expression, "I will leave this man to you. Xiao Ning wants to use him to save the emperor's life. Is it possible?"

Ji Wuyan had already asked Chen Lao about this matter. If Lin Yi was to be saved, did he have to be alive? A living person would be the best and the effect would be quick. The emperor would be better in less than half an incense stick. But if that were the case, I'm afraid all of them would have to flee the city in half an incense stick to avoid being silenced. It would be better to make a pill with the blood of a dead person and let the emperor eat it. In this way, the mother Gu could be used to draw out the Gu worm, but the process would be more painful and the recovery time would be longer.

Besides, it is not so easy to catch Lin Yi while he is alive.

In the end, Ji Wuyan and he both decided to use the second method. Chen Lao nodded and said, "I know." He took out the pills he had prepared early in the morning, opened Lin Yi's mouth and stuffed them in. He then took out a small white porcelain bottle and handed it to Ning Xiuyuan. After hesitating for a moment, he instructed, "Go see Xiao Ning. If she has internal injuries, give her this and she will feel better."

"Internal injuries?" Ning Xiuyuan looked at the porcelain bottle, unscrewed it and smelled it. The smell was very pungent. He frowned and said, "How could there be internal injuries?" What did the little girl hide?
Old Chen, on the other hand, spoke frankly without hiding anything. He even shook his head in disapproval. "No matter how miraculous the Tianxin Qin is, it is ultimately a dead object. A dead object can be played or used as the center of a formation, but if you really want to use the sound of the Qin to confuse people, it ultimately depends on the skill of the person playing the Qin. Who is Lin Yi? Even if you have placed many things in the formation to distract his attention, his martial arts skills are real. How can such martial arts skills be bad? Facing such a person... If you are not careful, you will probably be attacked back. Not only will your cultivation be lost in one day, but you will also suffer from a lifelong illness. You are really bold!"

Ning Xiuyuan's palm, holding the porcelain bottle, suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat. Under the dim moonlight, he could only see a white patch in front of his eyes, and he felt dizzy and shaky. He heard himself unable to defend himself, "I don't know..."

He wanted to say that he didn't know, and Ji Wuyan had never told him anything. But when these words came to his lips, they felt pale and powerless - how could such a cheap thing in the world be so cheap, that a mere zither could defeat thousands of troops? If this was true, the little girl wouldn't have to practice the zither every day these days... Legends were just legends after all, and he was naive.

He tightened the porcelain bottle in his hand and said lightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you here, senior." Then he ran towards the short tower holding the porcelain bottle. He was so nervous that it was difficult for him to breathe, and he felt like his teeth were about to be crushed!
