As soon as Wuming closed the door, before he turned around, he felt a soft body hugging him from behind. Wuming's movements were momentarily stagnant. A quarter of an hour later, Wuming seemed helpless and patted the delicate little hands wrapped in front of him.
When Liu Hongyan withdrew her hand, Wuming turned to look at her and found that her eyes were red. It seemed that she was really worried about Wuming's safety.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Wuming said to Liu Hongyan softly. This was the first time Liu Hongyan saw Wuming speak to her so gently, and she was stunned for a moment.
"My matter is almost over. Once it's over, I will always be by your side." This time Wuming stepped forward and hugged Liu Hongyan. Liu Hongyan's figure was considered to be very tall among women. At this moment, she was also She could only bury her head on Wuming's chest. She was looking forward to what Wuming said. She believed that this man was the best destination given to her by God.
Suddenly, Liu Hongyan punched Wuming, causing Wuming's whole body to tremble. Liu Hongyan was startled, what was going on, why did he look so painful.
Liu Hongyan hurriedly broke away from Wuming's arms. Now she looked at Wuming carefully and found that his face was very pale, his breath was very heavy, and he was covering a place with one hand.
Liu Hongyan quickly opened Wuming's hand and found that the clothes there were torn, and two bloody holes appeared there.
Liu Hongyan suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "What did you do? Don't move! I'm going to call the doctor for you now!" As she said that, Liu Hongyan was about to walk out, but was caught by Wuming's hand.
Although Wuming was weak at the moment, his strength was far inferior to that of Liu Hongyan, a mortal woman. If Liu Hongyan hadn't hit the wound with the punch just now, Wuming would never have let her notice.
"No! I'll handle it myself. If you call the imperial doctor and what happened tonight is revealed, there will be big problems!" When Liu Hongyan heard this, her expression changed, and finally she sighed softly and apologized: " I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell you not to do such dangerous things in the future, it worried me to death, but I didn't expect to hit you in the wound."
Wuming shook his head and took Liu Hongyan to the table nearby. The table that had been smashed by the assassin had been removed and replaced with a new one.
Wuming sat on the wooden chair and took off his tattered clothes. When Liu Hongyan saw Wuming's long and fair figure exposed in front of her eyes, she blushed and then shook her head violently, trying to shake off the strange thoughts. Fly out.
Wuming didn't notice Liu Hongyan's strange behavior. He frowned and looked at the right side of his abdomen. There was a piece of meat there that was now dark black, as if it was rotten. It looked incompatible with the normal flesh and blood on the side. This was What was left from the fight with Yin Jiu was not expected to be so serious.
"Hongyan, go find someone to fetch a basin of boiling water for me." Wuming said to Liu Hongyan. Liu Hongyan was very happy about the change in title and immediately went out to fetch someone to fetch water.
Wuming took out a small knife. The knife was small and slender. Wuming took a candle and put it on the table. He placed the knife on the candle and burned it red. When it reached a certain temperature, Wuming cut the knife around the rotten meat. The moment the blade cut through the skin, Wuming grinned in pain and gritted his teeth to cut off the entire piece of rotten flesh.
Wuming took out a porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag, poured yellow powder from it and applied it on the wound. This is a hemostatic powder, which Wuming made some time ago. Although it has a good effect on this kind of skin injury, it will also cause Strong stimulation, after Wuming evenly applied hemostatic powder on the wound, he took out clean gauze and wrapped it around the wound several times.
Wuming put the cut off rotten meat on the table, sniffed it and felt a foul smell. He couldn't help but sigh that Yin Jiu was really cruel, with hidden tricks hidden in every move.
Wuming wrapped the rotten meat with a few pieces of yellow paper, placed it on the ground, and lit it with a candle. Wuming watched as it burned slowly until the fire devoured it, leaving only a wisp of black smoke dissipating in the air.
When Liu Hongyan came back, there were only a few sparks on the ground.
Liu Hongyan put a basin of hot water on the ground and asked Wuming, "What to do next?" Wuming took a towel from the shelf nearby, wet it with hot water, and wiped it on his body.
There were other injuries on Wuming's body, but they were all minor injuries, far less serious than the bloody hole.
Liu Hongyan suddenly noticed that Wuming's previous wound was now wrapped with gauze and asked, "Have you taken care of it?"
Wuming nodded and said: "Someone may come to ask if anyone in the princess's residence went out tonight, but we will definitely not tell them at that time."
Liu Hongyan thought of what Wuming said at the beginning, and asked in a low voice: "Is what you want to do in the imperial capital related to the Tianlao?"
Wuming nodded lightly and returned the token that Liu Hongyan had given him before: "Yes, the warden of Tianyao committed suicide. There will be no peace in the next few days, but fortunately no one saw my face. "
The shock in Liu Hongyan's heart was unbearable. Wuming broke into the prison alone and returned safely, and the warden of the prison committed suicide? If anyone else had said this, Liu Hongyan would have thought he was bragging, but she had seen Wuming's skills and naturally believed in what Wuming said, but she believed in Wuming even more.
"Tonight..." Wuming was about to ask Liu Hongyan how to arrange her sleep, but was immediately interrupted by Liu Hongyan.
"I'm afraid someone else will come to assassinate you. You stay with me tonight and I will protect you." Liu Hongyan waved her hand and pulled Wuming towards her palace. What Wuming couldn't see behind her was Liu Hongyan. Hongyan's face was very red and her cheeks were hot.
The two of them were lying on the bed, and this time there was no pillow between them. Although there were still two quilts, Liu Hongyan pulled Wuming's arm to her side, saying that the pillow was too soft and it was not very comfortable to sleep on.
Wuming wanted to say in his heart, wouldn't the softer the pillow, the more comfortable it would be? But he didn't say anything and just let Liu Hongyan do it. This night Liu Hongyan did not get up and plan to secretly kiss Wuming like last time, but fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that she was really worried about Wuming today. Now that her heartstrings were relaxed, she slept particularly soundly.
Wuming was also very weak because of the hard battle tonight. His physical strength was extremely exhausted, and a piece of flesh was cut off from his body. He fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, it was different from the tranquility of the princess palace. In the emperor's palace, Liu Tianlin was sitting on a chair in his nightgown. An eunuch hurriedly ran to him and knelt down in front of him.
The eunuch tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guang, the warden of the Heavenly Prison, is dead... dead."
After hearing the news, Liu Tianlin closed his eyes and said to the eunuch: "I know, you go ask the people in the prison to maintain order, and everyone continues their previous work."
"Yes." The eunuch retreated in fear, accompanying the emperor like a tiger. Who knows what the Emperor of Yan was thinking calmly on the surface, and he might be dragged down and beheaded in the next moment.
After the eunuch closed the door, Liu Tianlin opened his eyes in excitement. His eyes were filled with blood. He exerted force with his hands. The chair under him suddenly fell down and turned into a pile of scattered parts. The armrests turned into a pool of powder. .
"Yin Jiu hasn't come back for so long. It seems that something unexpected happened. Could it be you, Li You?" The emperor of the Yan Kingdom didn't know what he was thinking. He paced back and forth in the room, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. After making up his mind, he took a long breath and blew out the candle next to him.
In the next few days, Wuming has been recovering from his injuries in the princess's mansion. When he felt that the wound was almost healed, Wuming took off the gauze and found that the wound had already grown pink flesh, which might not be visible after a while.
It took several days for the injury to heal this time, which made Wuming realize a problem, that is, the effect of medicine in the mortal world on cultivators is not as obvious as that on mortals. The bodies of cultivators are much tougher than those of mortals. , so the medicinal power required is much more than that of ordinary people.
In the past few days, several waves of people have come to the princess's mansion to ask who had left the princess's mansion that night, but nothing was revealed. This is inevitable. If Wuming wants to leave without telling everyone, naturally he will not be exposed by anyone. When people found out, and with Liu Hongyan's cover at that time, no one would say anything.
On this day, Wuming walked out of the palace. He wanted to fulfill a promise. He promised Ah San in prison to bring a message to his sister.
When Wuming walked out of the palace, he felt someone following him. Then Wuming walked around the imperial capital and lost those people.
After Wuming inquired with passers-by, they finally came to the gourd alley mentioned by Asan.
Calabash Alley does not look as prosperous as other parts of the imperial capital, but slightly shabby. It seems that not every place in the imperial capital is so wealthy, and this should be the so-called slum area.
"Young man, you don't look like you're from here. What's wrong with you here?" A lady selling sesame seed cakes asked as she saw Wuming, a young man with extraordinary clothes and temperament, appearing out of the blue.
"Auntie, I'm here to look for someone. Do you know a little girl named Liu Wuhua?" Wuming saw the aunt asking him a question. After answering, he also asked the aunt.
"Liu Wuhua? Ah! You're talking about Liu Xiaomei, right?" The aunt thought for a moment and replied. Wuming thought for a while and nodded. Liu Wuhua is Ah San's sister, so Liu Xiaomei should be referring to her.
"Oh, it's too late if you need to find her. Some time ago, a group of people came and took her away. His brother beat the bully here to death with a brick a few months ago. His brother gave her to the officers and soldiers. He was taken away and imprisoned, and the little girl was helpless. The bully also had a younger brother. Some time ago, he heard that his brother was beaten to death, so he said that he would come to avenge his brother. Then when he saw that Liu Sanshui was not around, he paid attention He hit Liu Xiaomei and has been harassing her. I see, Liu Xiaomei was taken away by his people. What do you think this is?" The aunt told everything she knew. She and Liu Sanshui The relationship with Liu Xiaomei is not bad, it can be said to be very good. When Wuming came to inquire about Liu Xiaomei, he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he hoped Wuming could help Liu Xiaomei.
After hearing this, Wuming nodded and asked his aunt, "Auntie, do you know where the bully's brother lives?" The aunt pointed him in the direction, Wuming nodded and went there.
