Chapter 379 Meeting an Old Friend

There was a sudden knock at the door and Mu Yi was immediately on alert . He didn’t know anyone in Zhengzhou City .

“It’s me, Taoist priest . ” A low voice said outside the door .

Although the voice sounded familiar, Mu Yi didn’t remember the person . It didn’t come to him until he opened the door and saw the face on the other side . Mu Yi was surprised to see the man . Although he hadn’t seen him for a while, he hadn’t forgotten him .

“You?” Mu Yi said .

It was Wang Tao, a person who went down the Yellow River to the capital with his two guards . Compared with that time, Wang Tao was obviously more mature . It could be seen on his face . Obviously, he had experienced many things . Wang Tao was a little excited to see him, but even more anxious .

“If you want to say something, come in and say it . ” Mu Yi opened the door to let Wang Tao in and said .

Mu Yi could see that Wang Tao coming here was definitely for something . They had been on a boat together before and Mu Yi appreciated him, so he allowed him to enter the house . Wang Tao looked at Mu Yi, feeling a little nervous . The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn’t know how to mention it .

“Taoist priest…” Wang Tao started .

“If you have something to say, say it . If there is anything I can help with, I will try my best . ” Mu Yi said .

“I didn’t want to disturb you, but it’s a life-and-death matter . ” Wang Tao took a deep breath and said .

“Oh, whose life is at stake?” Mu Yi asked lightly .

He clearly knew that thousands upon thousands people died every day in this world . Some died of illness, some died of hunger, some were killed, and some killed themselves because they had no way to survive . Mu Yi never considered himself a great hero or a kind person who helped the world and saved the people .

People always paid attention to themselves . People who had the ability to save themselves could already be thought of as kind people . As for other people’s lives, it was none of his business . If Wang Tao was hurt or in danger, he may help him for the sake of being old acquaintances, but that was all . Their relationship had not been so good that Mu Yi would help him with other people’s affairs .

“Yes, he is my lifesaver . ” Wang Tao’s eyes turned red as he spoke, which made Mu Yi more curious .

“How did you know I’m here?” Mu Yi asked .

“It’s a coincidence . I saw you enter this inn from the street before . ” Wang Tao said honestly .

“Did your lifesaver save you in the capital?” Mu Yi asked .

The reason why Wang Tao parted from Mu Yi was to go to the capital to lodge a complaint . If he was in danger, the biggest possibility was that he encountered the danger in the capital . His lifesaver should also be from the capital . His strength should be decent as well . However, why had Wang Tao come to Zhengzhou? Had he also come because of the Yellow River’s ancient road?

After all, the Yellow River’s ancient road caused turbulence in the world . It was natural that people wanted to receive benefits during such time . If they wanted to receive the benefits, they had to bear this price . Life and death were inevitable . Even if you really died here, you could only blame yourself . People would have to learn to hold back their greed if they wanted to survive .

“Yes . If it wasn’t for her, I’m afraid I would be buried there . So many things happened… . ” Wang Tao said at the end .

His eyes had gotten redder . There were obviously other things bothering him . Mu Yi had noticed that his guards weren’t around . He could guess what had happened, but didn’t mention it .

“Why do you come to Zhengzhou?” Mu Yi asked .

“Yes, yes…” Wang Tao started and then paused . Finally, he said with a clench of his teeth, “Taoist priest, I will not hide it from you . I came here with my lifesaver for the Yellow River’s ancient road . ”

“My lifesaver is holding the key to Yellow River’s ancient road . She plans to enter the Yellow River’s ancient road . Tonight, she went to attack Prince Chun and was injured . Now her life is in danger . I hope you can save her,” said Wang Tao .

“What did you say?” Mu Yi said, looking at Wang Tao in surprise .

“I…” Wang Tao said, planning to explain again .

“You mean that your lifesaver is the one who stole the key from the Forbidden City . The one who went to assassinate Prince Chun tonight?” Mu Yi interrupted .

The person who led Fan Yuan away and helped him indirectly tonight was Wang Tao’s lifesaver . Mu Yi thought it was impossible to find a person to align with but god sent one to him just like that . Although she was seriously injured, Mu Yi could find a way to heal her if she was alive .

“I don’t know if the key was stolen from the Forbidden City by my lifesaver, but it is in her hands . Tonight’s assassination attempt was also done by her . ” Wang Tao said proudly .

“Take me to see her . ” Mu Yi said without hesitation .

“Taoist priest, you will help?” Wang Tao said, slightly shocked .

“Of course . ” Mu Yi nodded and smiled .

He didn’t have a reason to push away allies that actively worked with him, even if accidently . In order to prevent accidents, he had prepared two back to life charms . Even if she couldn’t completely recover before the Yellow River’s ancient road opened, as long as seventy to eighty percent of her strength could be restored, it would be enough . She obviously couldn’t be weak . Even if she was not at the perfect level, she was at the senior level .

“Good, good . Taoist priest, come with me . ” Wang Tao said, jumping up in excitement .

Mu Yi didn’t say anything . He placed some charms in his pocket and followed Wang Tao . They walked for a bit . Wang Tao finally stopped at a simple house near the countryside . Wang Tao was careful to make sure that no one was following them before knocking on the door .

“Who?” A vigilant voice asked .

When Mu Yi heard the voice, he frowned . He was familiar with this woman’s voice . Wang Tao had identified himself and pushed the door in while Mu Yi was guessing . Although it was dark in the room and there was no light, Mu Yi could still see the figure on the bed at a glance . She was dressed in night-walking clothes . She had a curvaceous body and her long hair fell around her shoulders .

However, she looked miserable . Her coat was ripped in several places . It should have been cut by Fan Yuan . She was bleeding a lot but this was not a serious injury . There was a handprint that had smashed through her clothes revealing her underclothes on her chest . This was the real injury . The really surprising thing was that she was the brigand chief of Little Frost Mountain, Qiu Yuetong .

“You?” Mu Yi said .

Qiu Yuetong also didn’t expect Wang Tao to bring Mu Yi here . When she saw Mu Yi, she instantly recognized him . Although she didn’t call it out like Mu Yi, there was surprise on her face .

“I thought it would require a lot of talking, but this should be much easier . ” Mu Yi said .

He didn’t care whether Qiu Yuetong understood what he was saying . He just took out a back to life charm and activated . Qiu Yuetong had a puzzled look in her eye but didn’t speak . A ray of light enveloped Qiu Yuetong . She planned to resist at first but when she realized the purpose of the charm she stopped . Mu Yi sat down, planning to wait . Wang Tao was also watching nervously .

“Sit down and rest . Although she is seriously injured, the injury isn’t so serious that she would die immediately . With the back to life charm, she will be fine . ” Mu Yi looked at Wang Tao and said directly .

“Taoist priest, your kindness is too great to pay back so I will bear it in my mind . If there is something that I can do for you in the future, no matter how many times I might die, I will do it . ” Wang Tao said solemnly .

Mu Yi just smiled . He knew how Wang Tao thought clearly . Mu Yi just looked at Qiu Yuetong in bed for a moment before starting to think .
