Thick clouds rose again, the moonlight disappeared into the clouds again, and the light dimmed.
Li Luansong only took one look and realized that the men in black in front of him had no ordinary skills. They were light and agile on their feet and had fierce eyes. They communicated with each other through their eyes but cooperated tacitly. The positions of the five or six people were very organized.
"Who sent you?" Li Luansong asked.
The person opposite was obviously a little surprised by the situation in front of him, and instead of answering his question, he asked: "Who are you?"
Oh, I'm not here to find him, Li Luansong understood, "He owes me money."
The witness said anxiously: "I don't owe you money, it's the Song family..."
"It's all the same." Li Luansong interrupted him, "She is my best friend, and whatever I owe her is what I owe."
The witness was shocked: "Young lady, are you so loyal? But your friend has already abandoned you and ran away."
"I can't be unjust if she is unkind." Li Luansong took him two steps back and whispered in his ear: "They are here to kill you and silence you. If you don't want to die, just shut up."
Sure enough, the man in black on the opposite side followed closely: "Xia Xia, it's him we want. If he owes you money, you hand him over to us and we will kill him for you."
Li Luansong said: "That won't work. What I want is money, not life. Wait until I get the money, and then you can ask for his life."
After listening to their conversation, the witness already believed him and did not dare to speak anymore. His footsteps and movements were obviously much coordinated.
"I advise you not to toast or eat as a penalty." The man in black approached.
"This person belongs to me. If you want to rob him from me, it depends on your ability." Li Luansong said, setting up his posture. There was no way to retreat behind him. He thought that if it didn't work, he would give it a try.
The men in black looked at each other and swarmed forward. Li Luansong protected the witness and resisted. After only a few rounds, he realized that the disparity in strength was too great. Just when he was unable to support himself, Wuyue fell from the sky in front of him, one against many. , with three or five moves, the man in black seriously injured two people, and the others were also knocked to the ground.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. Shen Que stuck his head out and waved to them: "Your Highness, hurry up."
The two men pulled the witness over the men in black who were lying on the ground and jumped onto the carriage.
In the dim moonlight, Li Luansong got into the car and Shen Que discovered that he was injured.
"Your Highness, you are injured." Shen Que's voice was trembling.
"It's a small injury, nothing to worry about." He gritted his teeth and smiled, "I've been through life and death these years, so this little injury is nothing."
The witness lying on the ground looked up at Shen Que and then at Li Luansong, with a horrified look on his face: What are they talking about? Who is Your Highness? How come this woman is still going through life and death? Why does that tall man look so scared...
Li Luansong glanced at him and kicked his face: "Turn around and I'll dig out your eyes again."
The man had a sad face, and was now in a state of chaos and collapse. He said in a tearful tone: "You are a noble person, and I am just making a small fortune. You said you wanted to save me, so you can't just keep your word."
"As long as you are honest, you can do whatever I ask you to do, and I will protect your life."
"Your Highness." Wuyue put his head into the car, "Someone is chasing you."
Li Luansong lifted the curtain slightly and took a look. It was the group of men in black just now. However, if you listen carefully, it seems that your footsteps are a bit messy. Is there anyone else?
Just a little confused, Li Luansong didn't have time to think too much and said: "In May, take him and the eldest lady and leave first. I will lure them away."
"No, I won't leave." Shen Que said anxiously, "You are injured, I can't leave."
The car bumped, and the flickering candlelight was reflected in her pupils, which was extremely determined.
At that moment, Li Luansong felt for the first time in his life that "there is someone living and dying with him in this world."
"In May, you drive him in the carriage and take him away first. Make sure to ensure his safety. He is an important witness."
After saying that, he glanced at Shen Que and said, "I will protect Yuanyu fully."
He took Shen Que's hand and jumped out of the carriage and hid directly in the dark narrow alley beside the road.
It is said to be a narrow alley, but it is actually the gap between two houses. It is only about two feet wide. It seems very cramped for two people to hide in it.
"temple……"
"Shhh."
Just as Shen Que was about to speak, he was interrupted by Li Luansong, who signaled him to be silent. Then he heard the sound of footsteps following closely.
The two of them leaned against the wall and looked over. A wave of men in black passed by, the same people who had just blocked them in the yard.
Just as this group of people passed by, another group of men in black followed behind them, about six or seven people in total. Although they ran neatly, it was obvious that they were not Lianjiazi.
However, what is even more incredible is that there is a wave of people in black behind this group of people some distance away, about three or four people. Although they are wearing black clothes, they are slanted, and their steps are messy, so they are panting and panicking. Noodles are as good as vegetables...
The two of them were stunned. You look at me and I look at you. This is the legendary——
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, but the hunter follows?
"Are these... all people chasing you?" Shen Que asked.
"It's the first one, but I don't know about the ones behind." Li Luansong asked Shen Que again, "Aren't they chasing you too?"
Shen Que shook his head, "Could it be that he was chasing those men in black?"
Li Luansong said it didn't look like it, "That group of men in black have skills, but the first two groups will definitely not be able to defeat them. Is it possible that they ran away to die in the middle of the night?"
However, before the two of them had time to react, the sound came from far and near again. The carriage was running in front, and the people behind were chasing after it, but this time there was no one on the carriage, and even the driver was missing.
Li Luansong felt relieved: "It seems that Wuyue has successfully escaped with the witnesses."
Shen Que: ...So, they are chasing that horse? !
So, that night, such a strange scene appeared in the capital:
A horse pulled an empty carriage in circles in the alleys of the capital. Not far behind the carriage, three groups of men in black followed closely. No one wanted to give up. The pursuit was so persistent...
Well, is this the origin of the marathon? (Forgive my bad taste)
Dark clouds covered the moon. In the dark narrow alley, the two people were very close. They could feel each other's shallow breathing and hear each other's heartbeat. Shen Que was tall and supported his hands on the opposite wall. It seemed that Li Luansong was trapped in his arms.
A little... embarrassed.
Shen Que wanted to find a topic, but he inhaled the strong smell of blood.
"Your Highness, can you still hold on to this injury?" Shen Que was very worried about Li Luansong.
Li Luansong said: "It's okay. I once had a stab in the chest and it was okay."
Shen Que said it was different, "This is my body now, it's not strong."
Li Luansong smiled and said, "That's not the case..."
Before he finished speaking, he plunged into Shen Que's arms and fainted.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Shen Que had no choice but to look around and confirm her position. Diagonally across was Ping'an Hall, which was also her property, so she picked up Li Luansong and rushed in.
"Doctor Jiang, come and save him."
Doctor Jiang who was sitting in the hall was startled when he saw this person: "This is not our business..."
Shen Que said: "Yes, it's your boss. He is injured in the lower abdomen. Quickly get the hemostatic herbs to stop the bleeding first and then..."
She glanced at the doctor. Although doctors are not shy, Shen Que knew medicine and did not want to rely on others. After a pause, she said, "Then I will do the rest."
Dr. Jiang, who is over sixty years old, is an old friend of Shen Que's father, Shen Fu. He has been in charge of this Pingan Hall for more than thirty years and has watched Shen Que grow up.
The old man was very stubborn and refused.
"This is our boss, how can we let you, an outsider, interfere." The old man looked at Shen Que from top to bottom and said with disdain, "Besides, you are still a man."
Shen Que:...Aren't you also a man?
Shen Que was too lazy to argue with him about this, and said anxiously: "Your boss asked me to treat her injuries."
"Huh, I don't believe it." The old man started to tell him, "Go, go, the doctor wants to save someone, just stay aside."
"Doctor Jiang." Shen Que yelled anxiously, "Your boss said that if you don't obey, you will be punished without drinking for three months when she wakes up."
Dr. Jiang is an old drunkard, and it will kill him if he cannot drink.
Sure enough, the old man was so stunned that he blurted out: "The one who can tell such secrets must be one of our own, so I don't care."
When he turned around, he disappeared.
Shen Que: ...I am not as good as wine in my uncle’s eyes.
The doors and windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn tightly. The candles burned brighter, illuminating the room.
Shen Que cut open Li Luansong's clothes, and the bloody wound on his lower abdomen stuck to the clothes. She had to tear them off with force. The pain made his whole body tremble with the force, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face Pale and bloodless.
The wound was already somewhat worn by the bumps, and gurgling blood kept coming out of the rolled flesh. Shen Que endured the pain and carefully helped him clean the wound. Every time he touched it, Li Luansong would tremble in pain, and Shen Que was so nervous that his hands shake.
It took about half an hour before she completely cleaned the wound, quickly sprinkled it with powder and then carefully sutured it.
In the past, Shen Que was very familiar with sword wounds. He recalled that due to years of war, his family's business went from bad to worse. As a result, he was able to revive his business by selling herbal medicines with the help of a post-war epidemic.
My father, Shen Fu, always said that he was lucky, but he was worried about making a fortune from war and epidemics, and he couldn't sleep every night. Shen Que suggested that his father might as well deliver herbal medicine supplies to the army, and perhaps help them treat their injuries.
At this point, the father and daughter took a thousand pieces of medicinal herbs and doctors and clerks from various medical clinics under their names to start supporting. At that time, Shen Que spent almost all day in the military camp, helping military doctors treat the wounded, and his medical skills also improved greatly.
The current wound was nothing to mention, but this injured person made her unable to help but feel sad. Fortunately, although the wound was long but not deep, it was quickly sutured, applied with medicine, and bandaged all at once.
When she looked up again, it was almost Shen time, and her face was already dripping with sweat and glistening in the candlelight.
"媆円."
His voice was soft and a little hoarse.
"Your Highness is awake." Shen Que said hurriedly, "Don't move yet. The wound has just been treated. Please rest first."
Li Luansong glanced at the surrounding environment and asked, "Yours?"
Shen Que glanced at Dr. Jiang who was standing outside, smiled and nodded.
"Then my injury..."
"I'll handle it myself, don't worry."
Li Luansong didn't like others touching him at will, which Shen Que had discovered a long time ago.
"Look at me, I'm really sorry for hurting you." Li Luansong pinched his fingers, a little shy, "I will take good care of my injuries. There is a useful ointment in the palace to relieve scars. Ask May to bring it to me. It won’t leave any scars.”
Shen Que said yes, "Don't worry, I sewed the wound. The stitches are very dense and it won't be ugly."
As she spoke, she replaced the veil on his forehead. He had a high fever, his whole face was red, and his eyes were red.
The room became quiet, and you could hear the wind outside and the sound of the night watchman knocking his clapper.
Seeing Shen Que's anxious expression, Li Luansong comforted him: "It's okay. I didn't get overheated when my life was hanging by a thread. I think I'll be fine soon. I'll be able to run two laps on the ground right away."
Shen Que laughed, nodded and said, "This porridge has just been cooked. Your Highness, please drink some yourself."
Li Luansong frowned without even thinking about it: "Well... I said right away, now... it seems there is still some difficulty..."
That night, Shen Que fed him porridge all night and kept changing his handkerchief until his fever subsided.
Li Luansong told her that the characteristics of those men in black were obviously dead waiters. The person in charge of palace security and dead waiters in the capital was Lao Wu, which was self-evident.
Shen Que nodded and said, "Your Highness's brothers are really busy."
Li Luansong smiled and shook his head, his face full of bitterness.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in. Father-in-law Shi fell heavily to the ground. Before he could see the person clearly, he shouted: "My lord, where are you injured? God, this will kill me." My old life..."
