Besides, the search for traces of the two of them outside has been overwhelming in the past few days. Cheng Suisui sent a letter to his home. Several teams of people searched at the same time but could not find any trace. It was as if the world had disappeared. If he hadn't witnessed them with his own eyes. When you fall to the bottom of a mountain, you will have self-doubt.
The best time for rescue has passed. If something unexpected happens, even if you find it at this time, it will only be a corpse.
Until Fang Qiya received the letter from Taoist Priest Yuan Zhen, Taoist Priest Yuan Zhen, who had not been out of the mountain for a long time, made a divination for his eldest disciple and his future wife. The divination showed that danger turned into good fortune, which meant that at least the lives of the two of them were not in danger. They are all still alive, but I don’t know where they are buried.
It's good to be alive, so that the anxious hearts of the few people can be relieved. The search is still going on, but the few people who haven't slept for three days and three nights can have a good rest.
Although there was no fear of life, they still had to be rescued. No matter where they were, they must have encountered an accident, otherwise it would be impossible for Senior Brother's cautious temperament not to leave any information behind.
After receiving the letter, the search and rescue ended early that day. They usually work shifts until late at night. Today, everyone was asked to go back to rest and relax. The four of them also returned to the inn and ordered dinner to be delivered to their rooms.
Cheng Suisui ate together in Fang Qiya's room. She was the most anxious and self-blaming in the past few days. If she hadn't reacted a little slower, she wouldn't have——
She held her chopsticks and looked at the food on the table, not knowing how to taste it.
"Sigh... I wonder if Ruan Ruan and Senior Brother have eaten now. It would have been better if Ruan Ruan hadn't come to save me at that time."
"Look at the best, if you were the one who fell off the cliff, I'm afraid you'd be really cold now. Even if you're lucky enough to survive, you'd still have to be tied up with your senior brother." Fang Qiya knew that she was most afraid of being alone with Shen Xuan on weekdays, and said softly He reassured her.
Cheng Suisui looked up numbly: "Sister, is it really appropriate for you to comfort people like this?"
But what the senior sister said makes sense!
Fang Qiya said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat something before you fall down. If you fall down again, we will have one less manpower. Eat quickly. Have a good rest today and continue tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Cheng Suisui saw that Fang Qiya was also very tired and thought that he could not hinder her any more. He reluctantly finished the meal and chatted with Fang Qiya for a few words before going back to rest.
Shen Xuan said goodbye to Cui Shoufu in advance and was rushing to Yangzhou City in a hurry. The news he obtained from Yu Ye was also delivered to him halfway.
Yuye wrote back and said: The people sent out only knew that they were alive, but could not find where they were. There might be a peerless master hiding them, or they might have strayed into some secret place.
How could there be a secret place under this cliff that has long been a trade route that has not been known to anyone for so many years? What about those people in the world who are greedy for money, have weird habits and smells, and use any means to find treasures?
So Ruan Yan borrowed a man from General Meng, a soldier with a good nose named Hammer. General Meng said that Hammer used to be very good at finding the living among the dead, so Ruan Yan said goodbye without any hesitation and left that night.
Three days had passed since Miyou sent the letter to him. He had not rested except for changing horses. Three days had passed since he hurried to Yangzhou City.
Cui Shoufu and General Meng also escorted King Qing on his way back to Beijing. Although the emperor was furious, Long Yan still spared King Qing's life because of his old friendship. However, other members of King Qing's party were not so lucky. They ordered the execution of a number of officials who had been admonishing and instigating around King Qing. They also punished a group of officials in the court who knew about the matter and concealed the matter, and also punished the Meng family. An official who secretly jumps up and down in an attempt to make things worse with the Cui family.
In the end, King Qing was imprisoned in the mansion and could not leave the house until his death.
For a while, the heads of the nine implicated tribes had to queue up to get their numbers. Anyway, those who could be executed first were the big shots. Waiting until the end would frighten themselves to death.
I don’t know what the imprisoned Prince Qing was thinking, but to the common people, the rebellious prince could still have a life left and could still live well in the palace. In the eyes of the common people, he was already living a life like a fairy. After all, if nothing else, who among ordinary people would raise a person who wants your life and takes away your power?
Emperor
The reputation of the emperor's benevolence created another wave of goodwill among the people. Because he was unworthy of Cui Pin in this matter, he made Cui Lin the county head and gave her the title Jingshu.
After appeasing the Cui family, the emperor wanted to reward Meng Ziya with something, but Meng Ziya didn't want anything. He only said that he wanted a favor, a favor that would allow her to go to the front line to charge and fight.
The emperor laughed, how could he not agree? Praise her for being a woman! He also promised that if Meng Ziya could achieve military exploits, he would make her the first female general in Dazhao.
But that’s all for another day.
At the moment, everyone's hearts are focused on Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan underground.
...
Trapped in the pit, Ruan Xianbei only applied medicine, drank water and slept every day. Oil lamps were always lit in the cave. On days like this when she had no contact with the outside at all, she almost lost her sense of time.
She didn't know when she woke up for the first time, she saw old man Tiankui sitting next to her like a ghost. What was outrageous was that old man Tiankui was holding a row of silver needles in his hand, and he was gesticulating with one of them on her body.
Ruan Xianbei:? ! ? !
"Should it be inserted here or here? Is it this acupuncture point? Or another one?"
"Oh, I'm so annoyed that I can't remember it! If I just prick it, it won't be any worse anyway."
Ruan Xianbei: Shen Xuan, help me! ! ! What is this old madman doing! ! !
"Are you awake?" Meeting her eyes, Old Man Tiankui smiled at her with his yellow teeth, "It's okay if you're awake, or you can decide for yourself. If you blink your eyes once, it's here, if you blink twice, it's here."
Ruan Xianbei was petrified, and I stepped on the horse without even blinking.
"If you don't blink, you'll get pricked."
She didn't know what Old Man Tiankui put on the silver needle, but as she watched the silver needle getting closer and closer to her, the picture she imagined that Old Man Tiankui was just scaring her didn't appear at all.
Old Tiankui waved his hand and a row of silver needles were pierced into various acupuncture points on her body. Why was her face also pierced on her hands and legs? ! !
Ah, it’s not the face, it’s the neck! ! !
The long needles glowing with silver were right in front of her eyes. Ruan Xianbei was glad that she had been getting injections since she was a child, so she was well-informed, otherwise she would have fainted now.
However, this is too much! She's going to be turned into a hedgehog!
Old Man Tiankui activated his internal energy, and the true energy flowed in his palm and passed along the silver needle into Ruan Xianbei's body. After about a quarter of an hour, he exhaled and used the same technique to remove the needle.
"Grass......"
etc? ? ?
Her throat felt itchy, and then she realized that she could actually speak!
Touch the world! She can talk!
"Uh-huh." Old Man Tiankui made a sound from his throat, and his face clearly said "I am awesome, please worship me, thank you, please be grateful to me."
She still understands the truth that flattery will never wear out. Ruan Xianbei said in her newly recovered and hoarse voice: "Senior is really a master of rejuvenation and Hua Tuo is reincarnated. I, junior... can't thank you enough."
Ruan Xianbei secretly complained: Hua Tuo does not have such a bad temper.
"Perfunctory." Old Tiankui said that he was not very satisfied, but the smile on his face betrayed him.
As a result, his next sentence was: "Then take some of your blood today to repay me."
Ruan Xianbei:? ? ? Take my blood? ? ? Why! ! !
"Senior...why is this?"
She laughed dryly and wanted to withdraw her arm that was grabbed by him, but only her throat had recovered and her body had not yet recovered. She could only watch helplessly as old man Tiankui opened her mouth roughly and simply, and put a small amount on her forearm. A small bowl of blood, and then applied Guanyin water on her, all at once.
Old man, it doesn’t look like this is the first time you’ve done this, right? !
She pretended to be weak and coughed twice and said, "Senior... I'm a little dizzy, and there seems to be words in front of my eyes."
"What word?" Old Man Tiankui picked it up smoothly.
"Yes... died of blood loss...
...."
Old man Tiankui reacted and lifted her arm for her and sneered: "See for yourself, if you say a few more words, the wound will be healed."
Ruan Xianbei took a look and said, hey, this Guanyin water is indeed Guanyin water, no wonder it goes against the heavens!
"But senior...you took my blood many times. You can't see the pain inside, and I'm really dizzy."
"Really? It's been several days in a row." Old Tiankui muttered, as if he was deceived by her acting skills. He hesitated and said: "Okay, I'll just take it from now on. I'm just waiting for you to recover from your injuries and leave." I have to take it again."
Ruan Xianbei nodded obediently, saying it was easy to talk.
"Senior, why do you want to take my blood?"
Ruan Xianbei is a poor fellow Taoist, but his conscience for going down to the ground with Shen Xuan to find her kept Ruan Xianbei from saying these words.
In fact, what she wanted to ask was, couldn't Shen Xuan's blood work? He wasn't seriously injured after the fall, so why should he treat her as a disabled person?
"Oh, your blood is not normal."
"What's unusual?"
"To celebrate that you and I are destined, I will tell you." Old Man Tiankui thought for a moment, as if he was looking for a suitable adjective, but with his limited education, he couldn't find the right adjective for a long time. He scratched his head and used He said to Ruan Xianbei in an extremely casual tone like "Have you eaten today?"
"You have an interesting poison in your body."
"Logically speaking, with such a potent poison, you should have died long ago."
"But you are very lucky. It seems that you can live for at most three years."
"The person who poisoned you seems to be experimenting with modifying your body's strength."
"And it's successful. You've been cultivating easily since you were young. You've reached Tianxuan Mirror at such a young age without much hardship."
"This internal skill of yours is also very interesting. It will passively trigger the protector."
"There seems to be something inside you...what is it? I really want to see it, girl, why do you look like this? Do you want to see it yourself?"
The old man Tiankui finally said to himself: "How about you stay and I help you detoxify, and your body is used for experiments on me?"
Is there any mistake? ! ! My body is being used for experiments on you. I don’t ask you to stay, I just ask you to donate your body, right?
And asked me if I wanted to take a look? Do I have that fate? Are you and I still destined? Is this kind of fate what I want?
Ruan Xianbei, who was overwhelmed by the sudden and huge amount of information, was shocked. He crashed and the system automatically restarted.
So, she will die in three days at most? !
God, even if she is going to die, she must know which cub poisoned her before she dies!
She must cut that man into pieces with her own hands! Let that person die again!
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? Things to know
He said that his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
