He only felt a tearing pain in his chest and right rib, and the fuzzy consciousness in his mind began to gradually wake up. The feeling like needles pricking all the acupuncture points in his body when he was semi-conscious began to disappear. At this time, there seemed to be a wave of medicine. The fragrance was floating around him, which relieved the pressure in his heart.
Ye Xinghe only felt that he was sitting in a very strange posture, struggling to stand up, but a wrist tightly held his neck, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move. "
The blurry vision in his eyes gradually became clearer, and then he realized that he was actually being held in the arms of a woman. This shocked him so much that he wanted to struggle to leave again.
At this time, the gentle voice sounded in his ears again: "Don't move, there are gold needles behind you, I let you go now, you follow the girl's instructions to circulate the sea of qi, you know?"
Ye Xinghe nodded slightly, and the arm around his neck loosened.
When he slowly sat up straight, he realized that the owner of the arm was actually Jiu Xia, and Ye Xinghe's face suddenly turned red.
Jiuxia didn't notice anything unusual about him. She just held his arms and asked him to sit as straight as possible and look behind him.
Gu Jianghe gently twisted the tail of the needle and adjusted the depth and position of the golden needle in the acupuncture point. The sweat on his forehead continued to seep out.
"Follow the direction of the golden needle and circulate your inner breath."
Ye Xinghe nodded and closed his eyes.
As the golden needle pricked down, he felt that the originally rigid meridians in his body began to come alive gradually, because the inner energy that had been exhausted in the battle that day also began to boil again, returning one by one in the direction guided by the golden needle. acupuncture points.
Seeing Ye Xinghe's face gradually regain color, Jiuxia was a little happy: "Girl, he looks much better."
Gu Jianghe took a long breath: "Okay." He began to take off the golden needles on Ye Xinghe's back one by one. "You are no longer in danger. As long as you take medicine on time and adjust your breath well, you will be fine." It’s over.”
"Thank you Miss Gu for saving your life. Xinghe is grateful."
Ye Xinghe opened his eyes, and his eyes felt much clearer. At that moment, his heart was full of gratitude, but he couldn't do anything else, so he could only say a deep thank you.
After Jiuxia put the clothes on Ye Xinghe again, she quickly stood up and wanted to help Gu Jianghe.
Only then did she realize that her sweat was cold.
Jiu Xia's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She should have thought that with Gu Jianghe's current physical condition, it would take a lot of effort to cross the acupuncture points with golden needles.
The moon and stars are sparse.
The smoke surrounding the house made Gu Jianghe feel that he was about to suffocate. After hurriedly telling Ye Xinghe a few words, he took Jiu Xia's hand and escaped from the house.
This is a desolate house hidden in the mountains. It is usually used as a resting place by some butchers who go hunting in the mountains. If there is smoke from the cooking stove and the passing butchers know that there is someone inside, they will not go in and look for other resting places. at.
This place is more than fifty miles away from Fufeng County. The forest here is so dense that no one would come here for a while.
After the battle in Yunzhong City, Wen Jirou actually regretted her original proposal to return to the Central Plains. She originally just wanted to come back to see her old friends, but she didn't know that she was involved in such a dispute again.
While on the boat, he actually realized that Gu Jianghe was a little unable to do what he wanted, so he sent them to a cabin in the forest. One of them hoped that Ye Xinghe could be treated in a safe place, and the other was that he hoped that Gu Jianghe could be treated in a safe place. In this place, he and Ranchen could only resolve the matter as soon as possible and bring her back to southern Xinjiang.
The night wind finally made Gu Jianghe take a deep breath.
Her eyes were full of fatigue, and she looked up at the bright moon in the sky: "I wonder how Qingyang is doing?"
"Qingyang's martial arts is so good, and Nan Liluo is by his side, everything will be fine." Jiuxia held her hand tightly, seeing her worry, and comforted her in a low voice, "Girl, your My hands are so cold. I regret it. We shouldn’t have come back to the Central Plains. What if something happens to you——"
Gu Jianghe looked back at the woman beside him and smiled faintly: "No matter where we are, we always have to save someone's life, right? This is our original intention of studying medicine."
She looked away into the distance. She originally thought that her dispute with Yunzhong City had ended in Southern Xinjiang, but she did not expect that she would be involved in this dispute again this time.
She suddenly felt a little distracted. Did this fate really have to be offset by life?
**
The Wuding River flows quietly late at night. Although it is a little narrow after passing through Fufeng County, the river becomes wider as it flows outward.
A lone boat sailed slowly from the south.
After nightfall, most of the boatmen docked their boats at the pier, and the small boats still running at this time seemed even more awkward.
There was only a small lamp hanging on the bow of the boat, swaying in the night wind, making the silhouette of the boat flicker on the river.
They hired a carriage to send Gu Jianghe and the others away from Fufeng County overnight. Ranchen felt a little relieved at this time. At this time, it was quiet outside the boat with only the occasional sound of water. Li Yu took the risk and sneaked back to Yunzhong City. I got the elixir for Ye Xinghe, and now I can only hope that he will be safe and sound.
In order not to be discovered, after Nan Liyu returned, Ranchen ordered him to sail the boat away from the dock, hoping that no one would easily discover their traces.
Everything seemed unusually calm at first, but just for a moment, the ship suddenly shook violently and started to jolt violently! Something seemed to emerge from the bottom of the water instantly and jump onto the bow of the boat.
The ship rocked even more violently, and some people in black water suits held water spikes and pointed directly at the cabin.
Nan Liyu was startled and immediately blocked Ranchen's front with his hands: "Master, be careful, don't go out." At this time, he had no time to think about anything else, and jumped out on tiptoe, with the Xin Xi Sword in his hand. Already unsheathed.
The sound of the knives clashing was extremely harsh on the quiet river. The small lamp hanging on the bow of the boat could no longer hold up and fell into the river, but the sound of the knives clashing seemed so silent.
Ranchen's face was a little pale, but he did not move, holding a short blade tightly in his sleeve.
More and more assassins came, and Nan Liyu couldn't resist it. Although people in black were kicked into the water one after another, there were still assassins holding water spikes who rushed into the cabin and aimed at the cabin. The young man in plain clothes stabbed him.
Without hesitation, he turned his wrist sideways and drew the sword. After Ranchen narrowly dodged a stab from the attacker, he suppressed the hand that was raised again with his left hand and struck out neatly with his right hand.
A flash of silver light passed by.
The blood from his neck spurted out like a column of blood. The killer covered his bleeding neck with his hands in disbelief, and fell down with his eyes wide open.
But Ranchen was holding the small bamboo table beside him with both hands, gasping for air.
Although his internal strength has been depleted, his martial arts skills are still there. Instant combat at close range will not be able to hurt him for a while, but his weak body is destined to not last long.
Too many people have far exceeded the load that the boat can bear, and the boat is in danger, as if it may roll over at any time.
Another killer in black stabbed Ranchen in the cabin with a water-splitting spike. He turned around quickly and was about to strike again, but a long arrow came through the air and plunged straight into the throat of the visitor.
"Ranchen!" A sharp roar came from the shore. Ranchen in the boat heard the shout of the person coming, but he felt a lot in his heart. This guy is finally back. If he doesn't come back, he will really collect his body. .
Wen Jirou tiptoed and swept up to the stern of the ship. Following him came countless sharp arrows that shot through the air.
The man in black was besieging the two people on the boat with all his strength. At this time, they were distracted by the countless cold arrows shot from the shore, and their first reaction was to reach out to block them.
Nan Liyu, who found a gap, stretched out his hand several times, and the men in black around him fell into the water with howls.
Wen Jirou landed at the stern of the ship, rushed into the cabin in two steps, and grabbed Ranchen who was still coughing: "Let's go."
As soon as the two returned to the stern of the boat, they felt that the entire hull suddenly sank, and countless amounts of water began to emerge from the middle of the boat.
"The ship is sinking." Wen Jirou shouted to Nan Liyu in a stern voice, "Go back to the shore quickly."
With a backhand, he hit the man in black next to him who was attacking him again. He grabbed Ranchen's waist with his right hand, took a deep breath, and used his strength to climb back to the shore.
"Sir!" The arrow-holders on the shore saw Wen Jirou returning and rushed forward one after another.
Ranchen saw the face of the arrow-holder clearly and was immediately amazed that they were really the twelve slain soldiers of the eldest princess. They would turn around and swear to serve Wen Jirou to the death!
The boat in the center of the river had begun to sink gradually. After killing the last man in black, Nan Liyu jumped back to the shore.
For a moment, the river seemed to have returned to deathly silence.
No one on the shore said a word, they just looked at the river without saying a word.
I don't know how much time passed, but there was no movement on the river. Only traces of blood spread from the center of the river, circle after circle, but in the dark night, it was difficult to see clearly.
"They are His Majesty's secret guards." Wen Jirou supported Ranchen while panting slightly, "The Holy One has sent out his secret guards. It seems that we have become flesh and blood."
If he kills so many secret guards this time, with his moody temper now, he may attack the people of Yunzhong City. Wen Jirou suddenly feels worried. He knows the Holy Lord too well, although he can be called a Mingjun, but if some people block his way, he will eradicate them without hesitation, regardless of whether they are innocent or not.
If he is determined to get rid of Yunzhong City this time, after these two failures, he is afraid that he will attack the people in the city. If that is the case -
He didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Stop talking so much and leave here first."
The corpses of countless men in black began to sink into the center of the river, and the blood on the river gradually began to dissipate.
The flow rate is uncertain, the depth is uncertain, the clarity is uncertain, everything in the world is impermanent, and who knows how many bones are buried under this uncertain river.
I only know that tonight, it has added countless new souls.
