Chapter 414 Rest
After successfully evacuating Yelu Majiu's tent, everyone hurried all the way and found a secluded valley to rest for a while.
Qiluo looked at the injured and unconscious Li Yan, feeling full of guilt. She held Li Yan's hand tightly and said self-reproachfully, "It's all my fault. If it hadn't been for saving me, Brother Li wouldn't have suffered this great disaster and been captured and tortured by Yelu Majiu."
Bai Zixuan gently patted Qiluo's shoulder and comforted her, "Miss Qiluo, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Brother Li Yan was in danger just to help you and complete our common plan. The most urgent thing now is to make his injury heal first, and we can consider other things later."
Li Qingqing also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Sister Qiluo, Brother Li is a lucky man, and he will be fine. And he was able to escape from Yelu Majiu this time, which is a blessing in disguise."
With everyone's careful care, Li Yan's injuries gradually stabilized. Although he was not fully awake yet, his life was no longer in danger, which made everyone feel relieved.
However, the fire of hatred in Qiluo's heart was not extinguished by this setback. She sat alone in the corner of the valley, looking into the distance, and the tragic scene of her father's murder and Yelu Majiu's arrogant face kept appearing in her mind. She secretly vowed to find another opportunity to get rid of this enemy with her own hands and avenge her father.
A few days later, Li Yan finally woke up. Everyone gathered around him and asked about his condition with concern.
Li Yan looked at the familiar faces around him, smiled weakly, and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made everyone worried. It's just a pity that I couldn't help Miss Qiluo and almost ruined everything."
Qi Luo hurriedly said, "Brother Li, what are you talking about? You have suffered such a serious injury for me, and I can't thank you enough. If you fail this time, there will be next time. Sooner or later, Yelu Majiu will have to pay double for the blood debt he owes!"
Bai Zixuan frowned slightly. He knew that Qiluo was eager for revenge, but he also knew that Yelu Majiu would be on high alert after this incident, and it would be very difficult to get close to him again. He thought for a moment and said, "Miss Qiluo, I understand your feelings, but Yelu Majiu must be alert now. We can't act rashly. We need to plan for the long term and find a more reliable way."
Qiluo gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling, she also understood that what Bai Zixuan said was true. She nodded and said, "Mr. Bai is right. I will listen to you. But when I think about the enemy still at large, I feel like there is a fire burning in my heart."
Just as everyone was discussing the next plan, a Shaolin disciple hurried over and brought a piece of news. It turned out that after Yelu Majiu was injured, there was a lot of dissatisfaction within the Khitan with his behavior. For his own selfish desires, he first forced Li Qingqing to marry, and then clashed with the Central Plains martial arts world, causing many Khitan soldiers to be killed and injured. This made the Khitan royal family feel that he acted too recklessly and damaged the reputation of the Khitan. Now, Yelu Majiu has been recalled to the Khitan capital to accept the royal family's review and punishment.
This news surprised and delighted everyone. They were surprised that Yelu Majiu was restrained by Khitan so quickly because of his actions, but they were delighted that this might provide them with new opportunities.
Su Yiyun said excitedly: "This is really God's help! Yelu Majiu is now busy with his own affairs. Maybe we can take this opportunity to ambush him on his way back to the capital and capture him in one fell swoop."
Bai Zixuan shook his head and said, "We need to think carefully about this matter. Although Yelu Majiu has been punished, he must have many guards around him. In addition, since the Khitan royal family has intervened, if we act rashly, it is likely to cause a greater conflict and make the relationship between the Central Plains and the Khitan even more tense."
Li Qingqing also said: "Mr. Bai is right. We can't ruin the overall situation because of a momentary impulse. But if we let him go like this, we really can't bear it."
Everyone fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons, thinking of a foolproof plan that would both avenge their hatred and avoid causing greater disputes.
At this time, Qi Luo suddenly raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said: "I have an idea, maybe it's feasible. Since Yelu Majiu is going back to the capital for investigation, he will definitely pass through some towns. I can disguise myself as an ordinary citizen, blend into the towns he passes through, and find an opportunity to get close to him. As long as I can get close to him, I will have a way to deal with him alone, without involving everyone, and without causing a large-scale conflict."
Bai Zixuan looked worried after hearing this and said, "Miss Qiluo, this is too dangerous. Although Yelu Majiu is in trouble now, he is a member of the Khitan royal family after all. The guards around him must be experts. I am really worried about you going alone."
Qi Luo said firmly: "Mr. Bai, I know the dangers involved, but this is my only chance. I have waited so long and cannot miss it. And I will be careful, just trust me this time."
Looking at Qiluo's determined eyes, Bai Zixuan knew he couldn't dissuade her. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. But you must remember that safety comes first. I will arrange for someone to secretly pick you up near the town. If you are in danger, send a signal immediately and we will rush to rescue you as soon as possible."
Qiluo nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai. I will be careful."
