After Xiao Changxi and Qin Ming separated, they led everyone around Xingdaofang for half an hour, but in the end they still couldn't find the relatives they were longing for.
After returning home, she saw that Yang Zijun, Xiao Qingwan and others were a little tired, so she persuaded them to go back to the house to rest.
She was waiting alone in Qin Ming's small courtyard study, but as time passed, Qin Ming didn't return home.
This made Xiao Changxi anxious. She was worried that Qin Ming would be fascinated by Hu Meizi from Pingkangfang.
Secondly, Qin Ming arranged all the guards around her tonight, which made her a little worried about Qin Ming's safety.
So she didn't stay in the study for long, then came to the front yard to wait for Qin Ming to come back.
Seeing that the time was running out and Qin Ming hadn't come back yet, Xiao Changxi became even more anxious.
She felt extremely regretful. If she had known this was the case, she should have followed him to Pingkangfang.
That way I wouldn't have to worry so much.
At this time, she was hoping that Qin Ming didn't come back because he was fascinated by Hu Meizi.
After all, in that case, at least Qin Ming would be safe.
As for the rest, she doesn't dare to think about it now.
God knows how happy she was when she heard Ugly Cow shouting "Master" at the door.
Just as she was about to rush out of the courtyard, Chou Niu's next words made Xiao Changxi feel like she was struck by lightning.
Her whole body was frozen in place instantly.
.....
Chou Niu had just led people out of the house when a burst of footsteps came from behind Qin Ming.
Qin Ming turned around and saw Xiao Changxi looking at him with tearful eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Xi'er, aren't you asleep yet?"
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she immediately threw herself into Qin Ming's arms.
Then Xiao Changxi's voice full of depression and pain reached Qin Ming's ears.
"Sir, it was Chang Xi who harmed you."
Qin Ming put his arms around Xiao Changxi's slender waist, lay on her shoulder and comforted her softly:
"It's okay, don't think too much about it, it's just some superficial injuries."
Only then did Xiao Changxi remember Qin Ming's injuries. She quickly straightened up, sniffing and groping Qin Ming's body with her hands.
"Sir, where are you injured? Do you need to see a doctor? Let me take a look."
Qin Ming knew that he couldn't hide his injury, so he said to Xiao Changxi:
"Xi'er, let's go back to the house first. These are skin injuries and I can treat them myself."
Xiao Changxi wiped away her tears, nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the house."
With that said, Xiao Changxi pulled Qin Ming and walked quickly towards the study.
"By the way Xi'er, are Qingwan and the others sleeping?"
Xiao Changxi knew what Qin Ming was worried about.
"Wan'er, they have already slept in Qingxinyuan in the mansion."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this.
Soon Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi came to the study.
After entering the room, Xiao Changxi took advantage of the bright lights in the room to fully see Qin Ming's appearance at this time.
His face was pale, and there were blood stains on his body, arms, legs and even his hair.
When Xiao Changxi saw this, her tears fell to the ground as if she wanted no money.
But she also knew that the most important thing at this time was to treat Qin Ming's injuries first, so she ran to the bookcase and took out the medicine box from inside.
Qin Ming took off his coat, sat on the sofa in the study, and explained to Xiao Changxi:
"Xi'er, don't worry, they are just minor injuries. Most of the blood belongs to others."
Xiao Changxi bit her red lips and carefully removed the gauze on Qin Ming's body.
Soon the palm-long wound on Qin Ming's arm was exposed. Although he had been treated with gold sore medicine, because the wound was too deep, blood still continued to overflow from it after the gauze was removed.
Xiao Changxi exclaimed, her eyes red and her voice trembling as she asked:
"Qin Lang, is this a minor injury?"
Qin Ming reached out and touched Xiao Changxi's cheek, forced a smile, and comforted:
"Don't be afraid, it's really just a minor injury."
After saying that, Qin Ming picked up the alcohol in the medicine box and was about to apply it to the wound.
Xiao Changxi saw this and quickly grabbed the alcohol.
"Let the slaves come. Qin Lang, please bear with me."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, then took out a towel from the medicine box and stuffed it into his mouth.
Half an hour later, Xiao Changxi finally stitched up all the large and small wounds on Qin Ming's body.
At this time, Qin Ming was already sweating profusely in pain. He took out the towel from his mouth and threw it on the ground. He smiled at Xiao Changxi and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Xi'er."
Xiao Changxi threw the silver needle in her hand on the coffee table, threw herself into Qin Ming's arms, and burst into tears.
This half hour was too much for Xiao Changxi. She counted carefully and found that she had given Qin Ming more than forty stitches in total.
Every time a needle pierced Qin Ming's body, it also pierced Xiao Changxi's heart, making her whole heart ache.
For half an hour, she felt like her heart was broken.
At the same time, she also clearly realized that it was impossible for her to leave this man.
Qin Ming held Xiao Changxi tightly in his arms and comforted him:
"Okay, Xi'er, it's okay. This injury will heal soon."
Xiao Changxi cried for a while before she regained her composure. She stood up and said to Qin Ming:
"Qin Lang, please wait for a moment. I'll prepare hot water, help you scrub your body, and change into clean clothes."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this.
After a while, Qin Ming's entire body, except for the bandaged areas, was carefully wiped by Xiao Changxi.
Then while wiping his tears, he carefully helped Qin Ming change his clothes.
At three o'clock, the maid's voice sounded outside the door.
"Sir, Chou Niu is leading a man to ask for a meeting outside the courtyard."
Qin Ming nodded towards Xiao Changxi.
Soon Xiao Changxi led Chou Niu and Zhang Wenyuan into the study.
Zhang Wenyuan heard Chou Niu talk about Qin Ming's injury on the way, so after entering the door, he knelt down and said:
"My subordinates are not doing their job well, please punish me."
Qin Ming quickly stood up and helped Zhang Wenyuan up and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with you. After all, there are only those who commit a thief for a thousand days in this world, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days."
"But..."
Qin Ming waved his hands and said:
"Okay, don't be hesitant. I asked you to come here this time because I have something for you to do."
Zhang Wenyuan immediately looked solemn after hearing this, bowed and said:
"Please give me your instructions, Master."
Qin Ming nodded slightly. He first told Zhang Wenyuan how he was attacked and the characteristics of the two barbarians.
Then he continued:
"After you go back, immediately arrange for people to keep an eye on the Wang Mansion and the Changsun Mansion. In addition, you must try to collect as many people as possible from Wang Gui, Wang Zhen, Changsun Wuji, Changsun Huan, and Changsun Chong of the Wang family in Taiyuan. People’s movements these days.”
"And send someone to find out where there is a place in Chang'an City that buys and kills people. If there is one, arrange for someone to find out. Someone recently posted a reward mission that was taken over by two barbarians. Give me the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. find out."
Zhang Wenyuan nodded heavily when he heard this and said:
"My subordinates know this and will do it now."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said to Zhang Wenyuan:
"Well, by the way, don't be afraid of spending money. If you don't have enough money, just send someone to inform Butler Xiao."
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates understand."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"Well, you go down."
"promise."
After saying that, Zhang Wenyuan and Chou Niu left the study together.
