quiet place? Li Chuan thought of the previous cave, and said, "There is only one cave on the mountain, and the smell inside is terrible." After describing the situation in the cave, he said, "How about taking him down the mountain and finding another place? "
Jiang Bai said: "Let's go to the cave and have a look."
So Li Chuan took Jiang Bai to the cave.
At this time, all the young servants sleeping in the cave also woke up. In order to avoid trouble, Jiang Bai took action and tied them up before they could react.
Jiang Bai walked around the cave and said, "Just here, it doesn't matter what the smell is. Anyway, it will be fine after a while."
They moved Chang Xiao back to the cave and placed him on a stone covered with a blanket.
Afterwards, Jiang Bai took out an incense burner and lit it. A pungent smell followed the smoke and filled the entire cave.
Li Chuan covered his mouth and nose, no wonder the smell didn't stop him.
Blacksmith Cen asked Jiang Bai loudly, "Brother Jiang, isn't your fragrance poisonous?"
"It's not poisonous and can also strengthen your body." Jiang Bai held a bone knife in his hand and gestured at Chang Xiao's body while answering Blacksmith Cen's question, "Don't talk, I don't remember much. The formula and sequence for casting the spell are here, don’t interfere with me.”
Hearing this, everyone became quiet.
Li Chuan tried hard to hold back his cough and watched Jiang Bai do what he did.
A solemn look gradually appeared on Jiang Bai's face, his lips opened slightly, and he uttered a series of short and secret notes. At the same time, the bone knife in his hand stabbed Chang Xiao's chest as quickly as a snake. The wrist sank slightly, and the blade instantly rotated, carving out a complex pattern. Wisps of smoke seeped into the skin along the knife marks like ghosts.
Not a drop of blood was shed during the entire process.
Finally, Jiang Bai reached out and slapped Chang Xiao on the forehead. Li Chuan saw Chang Xiao's eyes suddenly open, revealing the whites of his eyes, and then closed again.
"It's done!" Jiang Bai covered the incense burner.
"Is this it?" Wu Kong walked forward with some curiosity. He looked at Chang Xiao, who was still unconscious, and said, "Is this a forbidden technique? It doesn't look good at all!"
Jiang Bai asked back: "What do you think? How many people are you going to kill?"
"No, I thought there would be some big noise." Wu Kong looked at Chang Xiao's chest, but there was no trace at all.
Jiang Bai explained: "This technique is used to save people. It is used to stabilize the injury and prevent it from worsening until it can be treated. It is listed as a forbidden technique because it is made from spices. The methods are rather cruel."
"How cruel?" Wu Kong asked subconsciously.
"Refined from broken dead souls," Jiang Bai took the incense burner back, "Okay, let's move him to the county guard. The smell here is indeed a bit unpleasant."
Wu Kong fought Chang Xiao alone.
Afterwards, they woke up Manager Ding and told him that Chang Xiao was only temporarily unconscious and that they would be sent to the county governor later. Manager Ding was aware of current affairs, and he did not want to sleep in the open air. He cooperated with other servants in their original carriage, and followed Li Chuan's small carriage down the mountain.
The county governor and county government officials at the foot of the mountain are still there.
When Liu Canjun saw Li Chuan's carriage, he immediately passed the crowd and stepped forward.
The carriage stopped in front of him and Li Chuan got out.
"You're fine, that's great!" Liu Canjun breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look into the carriage and asked, "Where is Mr. Chang?"
"I'm asleep for now." Li Chuan said.
"Asleep?" Liu Canjun sounded suspicious.
Li Chuan said: "I used some tricks to wake him up after the general's people arrived. We can't let him do anything wrong here, right?" Seeing Liu Canjun's frown, he said: "You and I Let's go to the county governor together. Don't worry, I'll stay there and wait for the general's people to come. I'll talk to them."
Liu Canjun listened, pulled Li Chuan aside, and whispered: "I heard that the situation in the capital is turbulent now. He is the adopted son of the general, and he came here suddenly. Who knows if someone deliberately let him go?" He came out. And his housekeeper followed him all the way without sending any news to the government? "
Liu Canjun said: "No one around him can be trusted, and I don't know what he will say in order to evade..."
Li Chuan said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Liu, for the tip."
Liu Canjun said: "So...just tell me what you want me to do along the way. The people I bring are all trustworthy."
"Okay." Li Chuan said.
The journey was uneventful.
After arriving at the county government, Liu Canjun found a place for them to live and settled down. Later, Sheriff Wu came to visit Chang Xiao once, said a few words and then left.
Three days later, Li Chuan was eating breakfast when he saw Liu Canjun walking in and said to him: "Li Chuan, someone is coming from the capital!"
Li Chuan quickly finished the buns. When he looked up, he saw that Liu Canjun's expression looked very happy, so he asked, "What's wrong? What good thing happened?"
Every time he saw Liu Canjun in the past few days, he was worried and hesitant to speak. He told him a lot of rumors about the general, both overtly and secretly.
"You don't know yet?" Liu Canjun glanced at Li Chuan and said, "I thought it was you who arranged it, so on the way..."
"Stop being so pretentious and say it quickly." Li Chuan interrupted him.
Liu Canjun said: "The people from Qintian Prison are here together."
"Who is here?" Li Chuan asked hurriedly.
"It's Miss Zhu." Liu Canjun said.
"She's here?" Li Chuan couldn't help laughing, then he stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Where are the others? Aren't they going?" Liu Canjun asked.
Li Chuan said: "They went out to swim in the lake early in the morning. Let's go first. It won't be too late to call them when we have a conclusion."
Then they moved to the next door house, where many government officials were guarding the house. Chang Xiao and the others were placed here.
After passing through the flower gallery, I could vaguely see a few people standing in the hall, including Commander Wu, Zhu Qingyun, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe.
He is probably someone sent by the general. I don't know his identity.
Li Chuan followed Liu Canjun and walked in.
After Sheriff Wu saw him, he said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Zou, Dr. Li is here. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
Then, he introduced both parties. The middle-aged man called Mr. Zou is the general's personal attendant, named Zou Jingping.
Zhu Qingyun turned around and said, "Li Chuan, you're here."
The brilliance on his face seemed to make the room brighter.
Li Chuan asked: "Why are you here?"
Zhu Qingyun said: "After receiving your letter, the master went to find the general in person, and then ordered me to bring Mr. Zou over on the fairy boat."
Li Chuan felt a little moved.
At this time, Zou Jingping spoke up. He first apologized to Li Chuan and said: "We were not careful and let him run out, which caused a lot of trouble to everyone. Fortunately, Dr. Li took action and avoided a bigger disturbance."
