"Qin Chuan, there is a intact carriage over there, come over and help..."
Su Qiqi found a clean hand towel and helped Master Huikong wipe the blood on his face, and then together with Qin Chuan, he carried the master to a nearby carriage that was still intact. After doing this, Su Qiqi asked Zheng Miao and Ning'er to support Master Huikong and have Qin Chuan drive a carriage to the nearest inn shown on the star gathering map for early treatment.
Su Qiqi and Granny Cui briefly cleaned up the remains at the scene and were about to leave in another carriage when they suddenly remembered something. Su Qiqi hurriedly called to Granny Cui who was about to jump on the carriage, and whispered: "Grandma, Gu Zhongkai seems to be missing..."
Granny Cui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, look at my memory, that Dr. Gu was taken away by General Fan..."
"General Fan?" Su Qiqi looked extremely surprised after hearing Granny Cui's answer.
"That's right, we were trapped by Lin Quan and Ye You's envoys. Master Huikong was seriously injured and was dying. When we saw that we could only be captured, General Fan suddenly appeared with a group of soldiers and beat back Lin Quan and the others... … General Fan told me that he was here under the entrustment of Lord Meng… By the way, he also left a letter for me to forward to you…”
Grandma Cui said as she took out a crumpled letter from her arms and handed it to Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi took the letter and quickly opened it and read it. It turned out that it was written by Master Meng. The letter said that he had secretly entrusted his best friend, General Fan, to assist them in escorting Gu Zhongkai to Beijing. He also mentioned that if there was an accident on the way, If you lose contact, you can go to Wanyou Tea House in Jiuli Town, Feiyun Mountain to find Shopkeeper Wang...
Of course, the envelope also contained a unique token—a rusty bronze charm, as if it were a newly unearthed cultural relic! Su Qiqi picked up the bronze talisman and looked at it, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: What a treasure!
After putting away the token and confirming Master Meng's handwriting again, Su Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt a little worried, so she continued to ask Granny Cui: "Grandma, what does General Fan look like you mentioned? Do you have any identification documents?"
Granny Cui frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Well, that young man is quite tall, with sparse features, and he is quite handsome and heroic! Oh, by the way, there is a scar on the corner of his right eyebrow... He showed me Only with the government's token can I rest assured that he can take Doctor Gu away..."
Su Qiqi nodded after hearing this. If he said this, he couldn't be wrong. She had met this young and famous General Fan before at Meng Shibo's house. He had no martial arts skills to speak of, but his personality was a bit aloof... Unexpectedly, Meng Shibo would ask him to come out this time to help him escort witnesses... If he It would have been better to come earlier, maybe Master Huikong wouldn't be so seriously injured...
After thinking about it, Su Qiqi couldn't help but sigh heavily. Granny Cui also frowned, and the two of them were speechless for a moment, then got into the carriage silently and hurried to the inn.
It was dark at night, in an unknown inn near Feiyun Mountain. A dim wind lamp illuminated a row of simple guest rooms. In one of the guest rooms, Master Huikong was lying quietly on the bed. The blood stains on his body had long been cleaned up and he had put on a clean set of clothes. Looks like he's asleep. But his face was so pale that he seemed to be in danger.
Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and others were all worried around Master Huikong's bed. They had tried internal healing, invited famous healing hands nearby, and tried various legendary spiritual herbs and elixirs, but to no avail... ...Su Qiqi and others felt extremely worried. Even the young Ning'er seemed to have a premonition of misfortune and began to cry softly on the side.
Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao saw that Ning'er was crying pitifully, so they went over to coax her for a while. When Ning'er's mood stabilized a little, they continued to study ancient medical scriptures with Granny Cui, hoping to find a way to save Master Huikong. Secret recipe.
I don't know how long it took, but everyone was still thinking of a solution. The master suddenly woke up and sat up on his own! Qin Chuan, who had been standing by the bed, stood up and hurriedly poured water for the master. Su Qiqi and others heard the sound and quickly gathered around, looking at Master Huikong with concern.
Master Huikong smiled weakly, moved his dry lips, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I've run out of gas, and I have one thing to ask of you..." As he spoke, he coughed a few times involuntarily. There was a sound, and a few strands of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Everyone became more and more nervous, but Master Huikong smiled calmly and continued: "The one I am most worried about is Ning'er. I hope all the donors can take him in and treat him well..."
Seeing that Master Huikong was coughing more and more as he talked, Su Qiqi nodded quickly and said, "Master, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Ning'er... You can rest in peace and recover..."
Master Huikong smiled bitterly and said: "Donor, don't comfort me any more. I know that I will die soon... I just hope that Ning'er will be well... I will have no regrets..." Master Huikong's voice became more and more intense. Faintly, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and then let go.
Everyone couldn't accept it for a while, and they were still trying in vain to save the master's life. Ning'er even threw herself on the master, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. It wasn't until they discovered that the master's breath was gone and his body was gradually getting colder that everyone reluctantly accepted the reality and discussed the master's funeral together.
On the second day, everyone gathered together early to prepare for Master Huikong's funeral.
Qinchuan went to a nearby town to purchase necessary supplies, and invited monks from nearby temples to recite scriptures. Then, in accordance with the special funeral customs of enlightened monks, he held a cremation ceremony for Master Huikong and hired porters to carry him there. The master's remains were returned to Qingxuan Temple for placement.
With everything arranged, Su Qiqi and others decided to set off to Wanyou Tea House to meet General Fan as soon as possible. At present, only by joining forces with General Fan can we withstand the Ye You Alliance's overt and covert attacks. Su Qiqi doesn't want anything to happen to her teammates again!
After riding in a carriage for two or three days, everyone finally arrived at Wanyou Teahouse in Jiuli Town, Feiyun Mountain. This is an ancient tea house with a long history. The teahouse's black lacquer inlaid with gold signboard is engraved with the four characters "Wanyou Teahouse" in majestic fonts with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air. The interior of the store is elegant and elegant, full of ancient charm, and the lingering fragrance of tea makes people linger.
As soon as Su Qiqi and others entered the store, they found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, and then Su Qiqi took the token to see Shopkeeper Wang.
The back hall of Wanyou Teahouse. Shopkeeper Wang, who had a small goatee, carefully inspected the certificate that Su Qiqi brought, and then said to Su Qiqi: "Miss Nangong, you first have a taste of this good tea from Baiyun Mountain in Duanzhou... I Now send someone to deliver a message to General Fan..."
Su Qiqi nodded, gave a respectful salute, and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Wang! Then we will wait for your news in the store first..."
After that, Su Qiqi was about to leave and walked to the front hall. Shopkeeper Wang suddenly stopped her and lowered his voice and said, "Miss Nangong, wait a minute. Please sit down for a moment. I have something important to discuss with the girl." …”
ah? Why did Shopkeeper Wang assign extra tasks to himself as soon as they met? Su Qiqi felt a little uneasy in her heart.
