"ah-"
A scream came from the room, and a slap hit Nan Liluo on the head.
"You are a man, how can you be as weak as a woman and scream like this at the slightest pain. Don't hinder Jiuxia from giving you medicine."
Qingyang rolled his eyes and shook his hand. Why was this stinky man's head so hard? His hand hurt so much.
There was a pain in the head, which made Nan Liluo reflexively want to jump up, but Jiuxia pushed her back to the bed.
"Your sword wound is too deep. If you don't suture it, I'm afraid you won't recover well." Jiuxia took off the bandage wrapped around Nan Liluo's right shoulder, and blood seeped out from the wound, dyeing her white hands red. bandage.
The wound was so deep that it really couldn't heal. It seemed like it wouldn't work without suturing.
"The girls from Yaowang Valley are really more fierce than the other." Nan Liluo was pushed back to the bed by Jiuxia, and his head was stuffed into the mattress. Only a muffled sound came from inside.
Jiuxia laughed when she heard Nan Liluo's innocent voice: "Master, Qingyang is the only one who bullies you, don't count me and the girl among them."
Immediately giving Qingyang a look, Qingyang immediately picked up a jade-carved vial from the tray on the low stool beside the bed, poured the medicine inside on the cloth, and handed it to Jiuxia.
Jiu Xia pressed the cloth in her hand on Nan Liluo's wound and said: "This is Caowu San, which can relieve the pain of your wound. I will suture your wound in a while, but Caowu San can only work to a certain extent." To reduce your pain, please bear with it and don’t move around. It will be bad if I put the needle crookedly."
Hearing the muffled sound coming from Nan Liluo, Gu Jianghe, who was sitting on the other side of the screen in the room, started to laugh. If it falls into Qingyang's hands, I'm afraid it will suffer a lot.
"Miss Gu, although Li Luo is not afraid of death, he is afraid of pain, so I have to trouble you."
The man sitting across from Gu Jianghe had a dull look on his face. Although he heard Nan Liluo's slightly miserable screams, he was relieved because his injuries were not life-threatening.
"His injury is the most serious. The others are just superficial injuries. The city lord can rest assured."
"That's good."
"——"
"The city lord has something to tell me?"
Although Ranchen's hesitant expression was a little subtle, it still caught Gu Jianghe's eyes.
"Miss Gu, Shuiyunjian found out the news about the girl's brother."
"What?" Gu Jianghe's hand shook, and he almost lost his grip on the tea cup he was holding, and the tea in the cup still spilled out and splashed on her dress.
"Girl, be careful."
Gu Jianghe ignored the scalding tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked hurriedly: "Where is he?"
"Southern Xinjiang."
"Southern Xinjiang?"
"To be honest, Southern Xinjiang is the only information that can be found in Shuiyunjian," Ranchen said apologetically, "Ten years ago, were the girl and brother being hunted down?"
Gu Jianghe was silent.
How to enter the Medicine King Valley, she had promised her master that she would not mention it to anyone in this life. But in fact, she herself is not willing to recall that period of time.
The light and shadow of the sword and the bright red blood.
Filled every moment of that year.
"My brother is here, don't worry."
The rain wet the originally sparkling bracelet. The boy holding the bracelet hugged her tightly, but she didn't even get a drop of rainwater.
"Miss Gu?"
Ranchen's call brought Gu Jianghe back to his senses.
"Are you okay?"
"Thank you City Lord for informing me."
"What are Miss Gu's plans now?"
"Where will the city lord go from now on?"
"We will return to Yunzhong City after the disciples have sorted themselves out."
When you ask at the moment, you actually have a decision in your mind.
"I will follow you back to Yunzhong City. Before leaving, I will heal your leg injury first."
By the time Ranchen led his disciples back to Yunzhong City, Wen Jirou and Xiao Changmeng's boat had gradually approached the imperial capital.
The ship did not dock at the canal wharf of the imperial city as Xiao Changmeng thought, but stopped at a small wharf close to the outskirts of the imperial capital.
Looking out the window at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar environment.
Xiao Changmeng felt a little bit like he was in another world.
Creak——
There was the sound of the door being pushed open by hands behind him.
Someone walked in.
"Why did Master Wen dock the ship here?"
The person behind her was silent for a while, and a deep voice sounded behind her.
"We haven't seen each other for ten years, how are you doing, Sister Huang?"
Turn around sharply.
The visitor wore a jade-inlaid purple-blond crown on his head, and wore a pair of dark yellow flowing cloud-patterned arrow sleeves, and a black tassel with long spikes, and a piece of warm and translucent mutton-fat white jade hung on it.
"Xiao Yanjing."
Xiao Changmeng's phoenix eyes narrowed. We haven’t seen each other for ten years. The face that looked young when he left the palace has now changed.
"Sister Huang seems to be surprised to see me?"
Xiao Yanjing put his hands behind his back and walked into the room. The palace servant behind him immediately closed the door. Only the two siblings, whom he had not seen for ten years, were left in the room.
"Your Majesty actually came to this wilderness to greet me, the former eldest princess who tried to rebel. I am naturally very surprised."
"Why is the imperial sister so aggressive?"
"Is the friendship between us still worth sitting down and reminiscing about the past?"
Xiao Changmeng snorted coldly, pushed the skirt back with his right hand, and sat down on the nanmu chair next to him.
"Sister Imperial, you have to know that if you enter the Imperial City, I may not be able to protect your life."
The eldest princess rebelled, which was a serious crime of beheading. If all the ministers in the court know about this, then Xiao Changmeng will only die after returning to the court.
"Xiao Yanjing, Xiao Yanjing, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Do you think I am naive enough to think that you would take such a big risk for me? It seems that I have something you want."
For such a serious crime, Xiao Yanjing is not stupid, and Xiao Changmeng is certainly not stupid.
"I haven't seen her for so many years, and the emperor's sister is still as beautiful as she was in my memory, and she is still as smart."
Xiao Yanjing slowly walked to another nanmu chair across the table from Xiao Changmeng and sat down.
"I heard that when the husband-in-law of the emperor's sister was dying, the emperor's sister asked for a wonderful medicine, red blood mushroom, which could bring the dying person back to life. Since the husband-in-law of the emperor's sister was finally unable to save his life, is this medicine still useful? In the hands of the imperial sister?"
"Hahahahahaha."
Xiao Changmeng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Red Blood Zhi, you came to me because of Red Blood Zhi."
He suddenly stood up from the nanmu chair, walked to Xiao Yanjing, bent down slightly, and looked into his eyes. At such a close distance, she suddenly discovered that their eyes were very similar.
"Wen Jirou was wrong about one thing. Our Holy Lord also has a fatal weakness. Xiao Yanjing, who do you want to save with the red blood mushroom?"
He tossed his sleeves with both hands, straightened up again, and smiled coldly.
"In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with me who you want to save. I am not afraid to tell you the truth, Scarlet Blood Zhi, I have never succeeded at all."
Xiao Yanjing's expression changed slightly.
"But I can tell you the whereabouts of Red Blood Zhi."
"As long as you tell me the whereabouts of Red Blood Zhi, I will save your life."
Both Xiyanhua and Red Blood Mushroom are said to be elixirs that can bring people back to life. Some people still know where the sunset flower grows, but until now, no one knows where it actually grows, but until now, no one knows where it grows.
"Do you know about the Mingyue Sect in Southern Xinjiang?"
"I have heard that it is a doctrine believed by the people in Yunnan. It should have been spread in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Yunnan for nearly a hundred years."
"That's just what the world knows. The Mingyue Sect has many followers in southern Xinjiang, but most of them just believe in it."
"What does this have to do with red blood mushroom?"
Xiao Changmeng looked at Xiao Yanjing meaningfully. She suddenly wanted to know how far Xiao Yanjing, a man who could be so cruel to his brothers and sisters, would go for the person he wanted to save.
"Red Blood Mushroom, according to legend, is a sacred object of the Mingyue Sect in Southern Xinjiang."
"I have sent countless people to Southern Xinjiang to find out the whereabouts of Red Blood Zhi, but all of them never returned. The Mingyue Sect is not as legendary as it is. It is just a god believed by the people in Southern Xinjiang. Just teaching.”
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yanjing suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. When he was about to reach out and push the door open, he suddenly stopped his hand and turned around to look at Xiao Changmeng.
"I hope the princess is telling the truth."
"Then please keep your promise, Your Majesty."
"Of course I have a way to save your life. The imperial mausoleum is lonely and cold. I haven't seen my father for ten years, so I think I won't mind. Go and light an ever-burning lamp for my father."
After saying that, without waiting for any response from Xiao Changmeng, he turned around and opened the door and left the room.
"His Majesty."
Wen Jirou, who had been waiting on the ship's armor, immediately bowed when she saw Xiao Yanjing coming out of the room.
"Teacher Wen, you really did an average job on this mission."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Regarding the matter of Yunzhong City, my subordinates did not handle it properly. The capabilities of Yunzhong City are indeed beyond my expectations. It is not easy to completely eradicate Yunzhong City."
The wind blew past the two people on the boat and scattered their conversation in the wind.
"If you bring Princess Qin Bing back, this trip will not be completely useless."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Teacher Wen, since Yunzhong City is so powerful, you should go on my behalf again and ask Yunzhong City to help you go to the Mingyue Sect in Southern Xinjiang and retrieve the Red Blood Seed for me."
"yes."
**
squeak--
The heavy stone door was slowly pushed open, and dark candlelight danced inside.
A damp breath hit his face.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, your majesty has decreed that the imperial mausoleum is damp, cold and lonely, so I would like to ask the eldest princess to light this everlasting lamp here for the late emperor to illuminate the imperial mausoleum."
Xiao Changmeng removed all the accessories from his hair, and his long hair fell down on his shoulders.
She turned her head slightly and glanced at Wen Jirou beside her.
"Master Wen, don't forget what you promised me."
Wen Jirou smiled slightly: "Xiao Ke, I dare not forget."
Xiao Changmeng said nothing, brushed the hair hanging from his forehead with his hand, and walked into the darkness.
Behind her, the heavy stone door moved slowly again.
boom--
All the light taken in from the outside world disappeared without a trace as the stone door closed.
