The room was filled with the smell of blood.
In the basin next to the bed, the hot water has been dyed faint red by blood.
Gu Jianghe sat beside the bed. A few steps away, Ranchen was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the person on the bed, his brows furrowed.
The person lying on the bed was close to a semi-conscious state. The clothes on his chest had been cut open by scissors. There was a huge hole on the left side near the chest, with blood flowing out and staining the sheets underneath him red.
Jiuxia placed the silver needles in a row beside the bed, and stepped forward to tear the clothes on the injured man's chest further open.
Gu Jianghe lightly touched the area around the wound with his left hand. He picked up the silver needle with his right hand and struck out like lightning. In a short time, several silver needles were inserted into the Guanyuan, Sanli and other acupuncture points.
The piercing of the silver needle stimulated the injured person's pain. The severe pain that hit his whole body made him wake up suddenly. He couldn't help but blurt out. Jiuxia beside him immediately stuffed the prepared cloth strip in his hand. It entered his mouth, "bite it, be careful not to hurt your tongue."
At this time, Gu Jianghe held the top of the silver needle with his hand, carefully adjusted the depth and position of the silver needle, and said at the same time: "Jiu Xia, go and prepare ten ash powders."
"Girl, I didn't expect to encounter such a situation when I went out this time. I didn't bring such heavy medicine." Jiuxia felt a little embarrassed.
Nan Liluo said repeatedly from the side: "Miss Jiuxia, you can tell me the prescription and I will prepare it."
"Then you quickly help me prepare Platycladus orientalis leaves, lotus root joints, agrimony, Bletilla striata, blood charcoal, gallnuts, red stone fat, and black plum meat." After Jiuxia finished speaking, he asked, "Don't take the wrong medicine. .”
"Don't worry." Nan Liluo saluted Ranchen, and when he nodded, he immediately turned around and walked out.
Next to Ranchen stood a man wearing night clothes. At this time, he had taken off the veil from his face, and his body and hands were still stained with the blood of his companions.
"Qin Yin, how could you two be in such a mess?"
Qin Yin and Yuan Ming were the two most outstanding people in Shanshui Jian Qinggong. Originally, the two of them went there just to be sure, but now they came back in such a mess.
"Master, Chan Li is accompanied by two people who have extraordinary martial arts skills and are capable of recruiting killers. Fortunately, Yuan Ming and I are the ones who went there today. If it had been any other disciple, we would have been killed on the spot."
Qin Yin couldn't help but clenched his fists. Shui Yunjian had always mainly collected intelligence for Yunzhong City and never participated in various battles. Therefore, all the disciples in the stream only concentrated on practicing Qing Gong, especially his and Yuan Ming's Qing Gong. He can be regarded as the best in the world, but he never expected that tonight, the people around a temple monk would almost not be able to escape safely.
"Can you tell which sect it is?"
"Looking at their moves, they don't look like the martial arts of the Central Plains."
After Ranchen heard this, he unconsciously clasped the carving on the handle of the wheelchair with his right hand. It was not like the Kung Fu of the Central Plains, but he was recruiting killers without caring about himself at all. It seemed that nine out of ten of them were those eighteen that Wen Jirou mentioned. The dead man.
At this time, Gu Jianghe at the bedside took off the silver needle from Yuan Ming's body and attached hemostatic powder to his wound. The fine white powder covered the terrible hole and covered it with a strip of cloth. It was still stained with blood, but the bleeding speed seemed to have slowly stopped.
"Miss Gu, is he okay?"
Seeing Gu Jianghe take off the silver needle, Ranchen moved his wheelchair closer to the bed.
Taking the cloth Jiu Xia handed her, Gu Jianghe wiped the blood on his hand and said, "The knife penetrated more than two inches below the bone, only a millimeter. Although it was very close to the heart, fortunately it did not hurt the veins. Tonight he I should have a low-grade fever, and if I can survive tonight, there shouldn't be any problems. Jiuxia, come with me to research the medicine, and you'll be back later, I might have to work hard for you tonight."
"Thank you, girl, for saving my life." Qin Yin bowed deeply to Gu Jianghe, and at the same time said to Jiu Xia, "I'm going to have to work hard tonight, girl."
Although he wiped it carefully, there was a faint blood mark on his finger. Gu Jianghe put down the red cloth in his hand helplessly, stood up and said: "It's just a small matter, Jiuxia, let's go."
After watching the two people leave, Ranchen continued to tell Qin Yin: "Go and confirm whether Grand Master Wen has found the eldest princess according to the original plan. I will send people to guard Yuanming here, don't worry. "
"Master, I will send you back first."
"No need, Li Luo will be back soon."
"Yes, I obey."
**
"Wen Jirou?"
A pair of phoenix eyes flashed away with a look of surprise, and when they saw the person's silver hair, they already guessed it, and then a look of warmth and anger came over them.
"It's really embarrassing that Xiao Ke's mere name makes the eldest princess care about him."
His eyes were wandering, the folding fan in his hand was fanning slowly, and the hair hanging on his shoulders was fluttering casually.
"Humph," Xiao Changmeng snorted coldly, but squeezed the hand on the maid's arm calmly, then pulled her, stepped back and approached the window, "How did you find it? From this palace?"
"That's all thanks to the princess's subordinate. Without his guidance, how could I have found the princess?" Wen Jirou looked at Xiao Changmeng in front of him with a half-smile. Compared with Xiao Yanjing, Xiao Changmeng was older. She is more like the late emperor, so in addition to the coquettishness of some daughters, she also has a heroic spirit. It seems that besides being a woman, the eldest princess is as ambitious as her brothers. "The princess is really thoughtful. There are substitutes arranged in the huge villa, but she is hidden in the darkness. But the princess But I was a little careless, there were people on the riverside, and there were no guards on the boat to defend myself."
"Why did I say that someone would sneak attack Chanli tonight? It turned out to be to lure me out." Xiao Changmeng was still wondering just now. Eighteen dead men were guarding him day and night. How could the martial arts of ordinary Jianghu people easily follow and sneak attack this person? Several people who had been trained in Shura Field suddenly understood.
When Xiao Changmeng and Wen Jirou were confronting each other, the maid beside Xiao Changmeng secretly retreated behind her, quietly took out a flare tube from her sleeve, and tried to move to the window in small steps. .
Just when she moved to the window and was about to pull off the cover of the flare, there was a "swish" sound, and a flying knife flew past the gentle hair, penetrated the hanging gauze curtains in the room, and nailed the It hit the maid's throat, and before she could make a sound, the maid's eyes widened, her hand loosened, and the flare fell to the ground.
With a "plop", the maid fell to the ground, her eyes widened.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Wen Jirou looked at the fallen maid behind Xiao Changmeng from a distance, turned her face and said, "Sifeng, you are too cruel. If you accidentally hurt our eldest princess, But what should we do?”
"There's no need to be pretentious here." The flying knife flew past his ear. Xiao Changmeng did not panic. He looked down at the corner of his skirt and raised his hand to make sure it was not stained. "The famous Night Interview with Master Wen What is the purpose of killing my maid on the palace's painted boat?"
"Elder Princess, I have your Majesty's order. If you are willing to hand over the eighteen dead soldiers and the army of the former crown prince in Donglin, I will take you back to the imperial city. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, will you kill me?" Xiao Changmeng said coldly, "After ten years of not seeing each other, Xiao Yanjing has changed a lot. In the past, a person who was reluctant to kill even ants is now really ruthless to his eldest sister. , that’s right, he can be cruel to the brothers he gets along with every day, not to mention this eldest sister, who I haven’t seen for many years. What if I don’t have friendship with you? Do you think you can kill me? Your Majesty, will I not have any backup plans left?"
Wen Jirou closed the folding fan in her hand, leaned it lightly to her lips, and made a hissing gesture: "Eldest Princess, your majesty cares about the love between brothers and sisters, and of course you hope to see the princess return to the imperial city safely. Since the princess refuses If you cooperate well, I will naturally find ways to make the princess take the initiative, Sifeng."
Sifeng, who had been standing by the door, walked in, passed Wen Jirou, and walked straight to Xiao Changmeng.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Changmeng took a step back and looked fiercely at Si Feng who was walking towards her.
Si Feng walked quickly to Xiao Changmeng's side, without giving her any chance to react. He stretched out his hand and hit her hard on the neck. Xiao Changmeng's eyesight went dark and he fainted immediately. Sifeng picked her up and placed her on the bed.
"Sifeng, go and ask someone to row the boat away."
"yes."
Wen Jirou stroked the corner of her clothes, sat down at the table by the window, and looked out the window: "The moon is so round tonight."
**
Walking out of the room and walking on the long corridor at night, only the lanterns between the corridors illuminated the two people's figures for a long time.
"Girl, I feel like we shouldn't follow them down to the south of the Yangtze River," Jiuxia looked at the blood stains on Gu Jianghe's hands, feeling a little worried, "In Yaowang Valley, we can rely on the unique advantages there, so we don't have to worry. Is there any danger, but look at tonight, this person is so seriously injured, they are indeed doing something dangerous."
The wind blowing in the night made her shiver slightly, and the cold moon hung above her head, making the two of them feel a little lonely. Is it dangerous? She had indeed hesitated when she agreed to go with them to the south of the Yangtze River. After ten years of living in Yaowang Valley, she had no idea what the outside world had become like. Although the master said that she could rely on Yunzhong City to untie her heart, is Ranchen worthy of her trust? And that gentleness.
She suddenly remembered the white-haired man, the man who seemed to be fascinated by him. It seemed that ever since he stepped into Yunzhong City, he had been attracted to her inexplicably. She admitted that he was right, she was attracted.
Gentle and gentle, he not only has secrets, but also dangers.
Now every step they take is full of unknowns.
However, the dream she had day and night made her uncontrollable longing become more and more heavy.
Whenever this happens, she will recall that when she was a child, the moonstone hanging on the bracelet made of silver wire sparkled in the sun. The slender white hand with the bracelet stretched out to her. The young man smiled and said, "Sister, are you lying on the ground again and refusing to get up?"
Looking at Gu Jianghe's slightly frowned eyebrows, Jiu Xia sighed. She knew that their girls were thinking of the person in their dreams again. She was rescued by the owner of Miwu Valley when she was almost starved to death due to famine when she was young. In the valley, almost a year after arriving in the valley, she met Gu Jianghe, who was rescued by the owner of the Valley. On that rainy night, out of curiosity, she secretly hid behind the white jade formation when the owner of the Valley opened it.
She had also seen the boy kneeling in the rain, his long hair soaked by the rain, and his pale face. If he could grow up safely, that boy should be very good-looking.
"Girl." A hurried cry came from not far away. Nan Liluo ran back all the way, holding several packages of the medicine he had just grabbed in his hands in front of the two of them, "Do you think there is a problem?"
Jiuxia picked up each medicine package and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it: "Girl, the medicine you grabbed should be fine. I'll grind it."
"Okay," Gu Jianghe nodded, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to work hard for you tonight."
