Eighty-nine

"Brother Xiao, wait a minute, wait a minute...... Wait for me. Xia Qiyang panted and lifted the hem of his clothes that were messy by weeds and branches.

After walking for most of the night, Xia Qiyang couldn't rest, and now he couldn't wait to crawl on the ground with his hands and feet. Looking at Xiao Jingxuan, who was still in front of him, he felt even deeper in his heart, he was also a human being, why was he so inferior to others.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingxuan, who had been walking with his head buried in front, heard his breathless voice, really stopped, turned around and stood on the ground expressionlessly looking at Xia Qiyang, who was panting heavily.

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were cold and deep, and it seemed to be a casual glance, but it made Xia Qiyang, who was watched, feel uncomfortable, as if he was already a dying person in his eyes.

Xia Qiyang held back the creepy feeling in his heart, and raised his hand to wipe his sweat: "Brother Xiao, why do you look at me like this?"

When the enemy attacked, Xiao Jingxuan had just been immersed in the medicine barrel, and as soon as he felt the murderous aura, he immediately soared out of the air, and in a hurry, he only had time to put on his outer robe. The enemy came quickly, which caught him off guard. However, the people who came were all well-trained, and at the moment of his reaction, the opponent's killing move had already arrived in front of him.

His sword was placed on the medicine board, and he was frightened by Xia Qiyang, and knocked over to the ground along with the medicinal herbs that were laid out. Between the lightning and flint, he could only twist his bare hands to avoid the critical place, but the sword stabbed from the dead corner of his waist couldn't dodge no matter what, so he could only accept the sword stiffly.

After a few reluctantly moves, Xiao Jingxuan found that his current skills were not as good as before, surrounded by enemies, and he still had difficulties in protecting himself, not to mention that Xia Qiyang, a powerless medical nerd, was dragged behind him. So, he kicked the barrel of his medicinal bath, and took advantage of the gap between those people who were stimulated by the strong smell of medicine to close their eyes, and immediately pulled Xia Qiyang out of the cave.

Originally, I wanted to find Yuwen Yanshu and let them go together, but when I thought of the defenseless Yuwen Yanshu and the seriously injured Dugu Ling, I gritted my teeth. Ruthlessly dragged Xia Qiyang in another direction. The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are endless, layered on top of each other, and I don't know how many peaks they have, once they are hidden in them. It's not easy to be found.

However, along the way, the more Xiao Jingxuan thought about it, the more wrong it became, those people clearly knew that the people who were chasing and killing him before were a group, and they were coming at him in a targeted and organized manner. Seeing that they are menacing and well-prepared, it can be seen that they were fully prepared before, and they are waiting to take them down in one fell swoop.

Who are these people? It seems that since he left the capital, they have been following him all the way, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

And the timing of Xia Qiyang's appearance is too much of a coincidence. How can there be such a coincidence in the world: when Shu'er didn't have anyone around her, she met a doctor who knew about this strange poison, and took them in so kindly, and did her best to treat him and Dugu Ling. He's not Yanshu. Foolishly believe in the benevolence of the healer and believe in the stranger. There are still few military doctors who have killed people directly or indirectly in the barracks, and each is his master.

Therefore, as early as the beginning, he and Qiu Chaoyang secretly investigated this person, and at that time they were sure that there was nothing suspicious before they let him act, and now it seems that they are indeed in a hurry to go to the doctor. Got the wrong person.

"Who is your master?"

Xia Qiyang raised his head and looked at him in surprise, with a hint of confusion: "What master?"

Xiao Jingxuan snorted coldly, looking at him with a faint mockery in his eyes.

Xia Qiyang hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, did you misunderstand something?"

"Did I misunderstand, or did you not dare to say it?" Xiao Jingxuan took a step forward, and the killing momentum he had experienced on the battlefield pressed straight over.

"Really misunderstood. Xia Qiyang was so frightened by his further momentum that he hurriedly straightened up. I didn't pant anymore, and spread my hands anxiously: "I'm just an ordinary doctor, my family has lived in Yu'er Lane for generations, and I live by practicing medicine, and our family has ancestral training." Studying medicine all your life, you must not harm others with intention. ”

The eastern sky is faintly white, and the green clouds are shrouded in various mountains, ethereal like a fairyland.

Xiao Jingxuan saw Xia Qiyang's eager explanation, for fear of being misunderstood, and felt a sigh in his heart, it was this scheming appearance that actually blinded him, Qiu Chaoyang, and Dugu Ling.

"Then how do you explain where the purple gold blood vine came from in Dugu Gongzi's dispensing. ”

Blood vine is a commonly used medicine for invigorating blood and qi, but people commonly use only the large and small blood vines that grow in the forest or by the stream, and some people who pay attention to it will use yellow-skinned blood vine. But the terrain where the purple gold blood vine grows is treacherous, and few people can dig it, so it is extremely precious, except for the princes and nobles, basically even some officials and eunuchs rarely use it.

And this little doctor, who claims to live in a corner of his ancestors, can be so generous, and the dosage is staggering every time. These are still an accidental chat, Yuwen Yanshu once told him curiously, at that time, Yuwen Yanshu also praised Xia Qiyang's kindness, in order to save Dugu Ling, he actually used such a rare medicine, and he was moved.

"Huh?" Xia Qiyang didn't expect Xiao Jingxuan to notice this detail, and he was dumbfounded for a while, he was originally a person who was not good at words, and he didn't know how to answer this time.

"What, can't you answer?" Xiao Jingxuan raised his right hand and slowly climbed up Xia Qiyang's neck.

Through the glimmer of the morning light, Xia Qiyang clearly saw the undisguised killing intent in Xiao Jingxuan's eyes, and his heart was cold. hurriedly wanted to wave Xiao Jingxuan's hand, but how could a person who had been immersed in medical skills all year round be the opponent of a battle-hardened person. He only felt that the hand on his neck was like a pair of pliers around his neck, getting tighter and tighter.

Xiao Jingxuan hated it in his heart, if it wasn't for the person in front of him, why would he run away like a wolf, and he didn't even know what Shu'er's situation was at the moment. There are three of them, one does not know martial arts, the other is seriously injured, and only Qiu Chaoyang is protected by Qiu Chaoyang, if Shu'er is hurt, what can he do?

"Don't, don't, I say I'll say. Xia Qiyang shouted loudly, and at the same time grabbed Xiao Jingxuan's right hand with both hands and pulled it out.

When Xiao Jingxuan heard this, his hand was slightly relaxed.

"Ahem. As soon as Xia Qiyang was free, he coughed, stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, before he said, "It was sold to me by a roadside merchant selling medicine." ”

Of course, this reason will definitely not satisfy Xiao Jingxuan, Xia Qiyang hurriedly told him how to buy the medicine before he got angry.

Half a month ago, Dugu Ling, who was brought back by Xiao Jingxuan and Yuwen Yanshu, was seriously injured and had a posture of not waking up. The number of medicinal materials on the mountain was limited, so Xia Qiyang had to go down the mountain to his small pharmacy to get the medicine. Coincidentally, when he walked to the street, he happened to meet an old man with gray hair who looked to be past the age of sixties, sitting in the corner of the Yan family's tailor's shop with a burden and selling medicine.

As soon as the old man saw him, he greeted him warmly: "Xiao Langjun, there are excellent medicinal materials in the old man, do you want to take a look?"

Xia Qiyang, Xiao Jingxuan knows, he has a thin face, and he never knows what it means to reject others, let alone an old man who is so old, so he walked over with the enthusiasm of respecting the elderly. I didn't care about it, but I saw that the two baskets were filled with good medicines that no one else could buy with money.

Xia Qiyang casually opened a paper bag with longevity grass written on it, pinched out the herbs and looked at the sun, and found that the owner of these medicinal materials was very good at taking care of them.

"Old man, where did you get this medicine?" Fortunately, he still had a heart.

The old man stroked his long beard, and his face was proud: "These are all old and decayed, and I personally went to various places to pick them one by one." ”

"Huh?" Xia Qiyang's eyes were suddenly full of admiration when he looked at the old man: "Old man, you are really amazing. ”

"Where, where. The old man pouted his beard and was very modest.

Seeing so many good medicines, as a standard doctor, Xia Qiyang naturally felt itchy: "Then how do you sell these herbs?"

When the old man heard that he wanted to buy it, the smile on his face deepened, and he happily pointed to the top ones and quoted the prices respectively.

The more Xia Qiyang listened, the more surprised he became: "It's so cheap." ”

"Of course, these are just old decay and brought back by the way, if it weren't for the fear of ruining it, it wouldn't be taken out and sold. ”

The price is cheap, and the drug-price ratio is very high.

"Xiao Langjun, what do you want?"

Xia Qiyang didn't doubt that he had him, and thought to himself, when he saw that Dugu Gongzi was a person with a background.

"I know your status is noble, but I really didn't do anything to be sorry for you. Xia Qiyang once again swore a promise.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan closed his eyes, the old man who bought medicine must be a spy sent by the other party, how could anyone sell medicinal materials on the street, such an obvious bureau is only such a simple person in front of him would stupidly drill into it, and the other party would probably have been eyeing this stupid little white rabbit a long time ago.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at Xia Qiyang, who was pale with fright from him, speechlessly, and sighed helplessly, forget it, this person has no calculation in his heart. Since Shu'er values him so much, it is not in the way to keep him by his side. The top priority is to find Shu'er first, and when someone is found, no matter what, send her back to the capital first.

Yuwen Yanshu, who was planning to be sent back to the capital, was looking at the patches of bushes in front of him worriedly, and said to Dugu Ling with entangled eyebrows: "We must be lost." ”

Dugu Ling looked at his cousin with a look of disbelief and shook his head in frustration. Last night, he ran around like a fly on his brow, and the direction was already messed up, and she still thought that she had a good sense of direction, and she was about to hurry when the sky was bright, and now he didn't even have to worry about it, and he didn't know where he was at all.

"Wait for the sun to come out before we go. Dugu Ling persuaded.

Yuwen Yan replied sullenly, she was really worried about whether Xiao Jingxuan and Qiu Chaoyang were okay, Xiao Jingxuan's remaining poison was not cleared, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he encountered the enemy head-on; Qiu Chaoyang worked tirelessly to accompany him all the way from the capital to Jiangnan, if he was implicated, this favor would not be paid off in this life.

Yes, the most hateful thing is those men in black, where did they come from, and why did they attack them?
