Chapter 97: Quid pro quo
Liu Xisheng's words made Bai Lixuan and Qingling unable to say anything for a while. They were able to survive at the cost of Xia Zhenkun and Xia's death. Every day I wake up because of nightmares. The picture of a river of blood makes them not be able to pretend that nothing has happened and live the second half of their lives peacefully. Without the Xia family, they would have died on the battlefield long ago. Now that he has survived, it is better to follow the generals and them to report to the underworld, and maybe in the next life, they can gallop on the battlefield together and slash the enemy with a sword.
"Don't think about it so much, I'll tell you something." Bai Lixuan took the lead in cheering up and told him what he had met Lu Zhiyao and everything that happened.
"The Prince's Man?" Qingling frowned and guessed.
"Not really." Bai Lixuan shook his head, "But you can't be negligent." ”
"Didn't she ask you to see her again tomorrow?" Liu Xisheng spoke slowly, with murderous aura in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let's go together, if you find something wrong, just kill her." I don't believe it, but the three of us can't beat her. ”
Lu Zhiyao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a happy smile on his face. The two maids, Wanyue and Yudie, saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't figure it out in their hearts. Miss, she has been sad these days, what happened today, so happy?
"Rain butterflies." Lu Zhiyao waved his hand and called Yu Die to his side. He glanced sideways at his arm, which still couldn't exert his strength, and asked, "Is there a way to make this injury recover quickly?" ”
"Miss, this is a desperate injury!" Yudie hurriedly shook her head to soothe Lu Zhiyao's eagerness. "If you tear the wound again now, you really don't know when you'll be able to recover! What do you have to do? I'll do it for you with Juanyue! ”
Lu Zhiyao listened to Yu Die's words and responded helplessly. After sitting for a long time, Lu Zhiyao suddenly remembered the pill Lin Yinan gave him before leaving.
Getting up and finding the porcelain bottle, Lu Zhiyao poured the medicine on the palm of his hand, showed it to Yu Die, and asked, "Can you see what it's made of?" ”
Yudie carefully picked up the pill, looked at it and sniffed it, then shook her head in confusion and replied, "I can't see it." ”
"Bring water." Lu Zhiyao's heart was crossed, Lin Yinan said that this is a good thing, so it should be more or less helpful to his injury. If he wanted to harm himself and gave himself poison, then he would simply die! Anyway, she won't let him go if she becomes a ghost.
Lu Zhiyao took the medicine under the gaze of Yudie and Xuanyue. After about half an hour, there was no response. Seeing that it was already the second half of the night, Lu Zhiyao had no intention of waiting any longer. So I turned off the lights and went to bed. But who knows, just after falling asleep, she woke up again.
The warm current came out of the dantian, and in a short time, it had swam to the limbs and hundreds of remains. Lu Zhiyao wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead uncomfortably, only to feel that he was hot and restless.
Lu Zhiyao got out of bed and drank cold water cup after cup, Yudie and Wanyue heard the sound and walked in from the outhouse. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's uncomfortable look, Yudie hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?" Let me see. ”
Yudie's slightly cool fingers brushed Lu Zhiyao's wrist, and after a while, Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao a little helplessly, and said, "Miss, what was that thing you ate before?" ”
"I don't know the way, it was given by Lin Yinan." Lu Zhiyao shook his head honestly, his body was still hot and uncomfortable. "Poison?"
"I don't know what to say, but your pulse is very confused now, miss, why don't I call Lang Zhong to show you?"
"Where are you going to find Lang Zhong in the middle of the night?" Lu Zhiyao waved his hand and fanned the wind with his hand. "Wait and see, there's no reason for him to hurt me."
Lu Zhiyao guessed correctly, but she was also uncomfortable for nearly two hours before she slowly returned to her original state. Crawling back to the bed tiredly, Lu Zhiyao thought of Lin Yinan, snorted coldly, and muttered to himself: "What kind of broken thing, I knew that Lu Dao would just throw it away like this." ”
Lu Zhiyao fell asleep in a daze and slept until dawn. After opening his eyes, Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room, a little surprised that he had slept so hard. After letting Wanyue serve him to freshen up, Lu Zhiyao called Yudie to change the dressing for his wounds.
Yudie took off the gauze on Lu Zhiyao's arm lightly, and after seeing Lu Zhiyao's wound, she "babbled".
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiyao looked at her and asked puzzled.
"This injury seems to be better than yesterday, miss."
Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at his wound, because the injury was too serious to see the wind, and the weather had been very hot recently, so the wound was already a little white, swollen and about to burst pus. After using some of the medicines made by Jian Yuheng and Yudie, although they have improved a little, they are not as fast as this time.
Lu Zhiyao blinked, which reminded her of the white pill she had taken last night. "Don't worry about it yet." Lu Zhiyao swallowed all the doubts back into his stomach, and after Yudie bandaged her wounds again, Lu Zhiyao waited for the night to come.
Under Lu Zhiyao's constant anticipation, the day passed a little long. Finally waited until it was dark, and Lu Zhiyao returned to the room after eating dinner with Lu Yuanzheng. When the time was almost up, she got up and said a few words to the two maids, and then walked out of the room under their worried gaze.
"Sister, what did you say Miss, what have she been busy with lately?" Wanyue tiptoed to the door of the room, looked at the empty courtyard through the crack in the door, and asked Yudie curiously. "I thought that after the eighth prince left, the young lady would be a little lost, but I didn't expect her to be busier than before."
Yu Die didn't make a sound, but she was worried in her heart that what Lu Zhiyao was busy with recently was related to that Xia Han.
Lu Zhiyao came to the place where he made an appointment with Bai Lixuan, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Bai Lixuan's shadow. Bored squatting in the corner, just when Lu Zhiyao was about to give up and go back, Bai Lixuan slowly appeared in front of her, accompanied by Qing Leng .
Lu Zhiyao's eyes lit up when he saw Qingling, and he quickly stood up, Lu Zhiyao smiled softly, and Qingling frowned when he saw it with burning eyes.
"Why did you come so late, I thought you were delayed." As Lu Zhiyao spoke, he took out a few silver tickets and handed them to Bai Lixuan. Her actions made Bai Lixuan look at it for a long time before she spoke up.
The three of them had indeed arrived here a long time ago, but they were not at ease, afraid that Lu Zhiyao would secretly make a name for themselves, so they did not show up for a long time. After it was completely confirmed that there was no one brought by Lu Zhiyao nearby, Bai Lixuan and Qingling appeared, and Liu Xisheng was still in the shadows, in case something unexpected happened.
"What's your name?" Bai Lixuan asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he almost blurted out the three words Lu Zhiyao. "Lu Yao." Lu Zhiyao replied softly, and after looking at Bai Lixuan and Qingling looking at each other, he asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"That's right." Qingling nodded, "But it's not convenient to talk here, you have to go with us." ”
Lu Zhiyao responded without hesitation, and his frank attitude made the two of them a little unacceptable. She's not afraid, they're going to kill her? After all, they are all outlaws now.
Lu Zhiyao left with the two, and after walking a long way, and after seeing the third person, Lu Zhiyao stopped with some excitement.
Bai Lixuan, Liu Xisheng and Qingling, these three people almost grew up with Xia Yao. Bai Lixuan and Liu Xisheng were both picked up from the side of the road when Xia Zhenkun went on the expedition when they were children. After growing up, these two became the most powerful lieutenants around Xia Zhenkun and Xia respectively.
Liu Xisheng glanced at Lu Zhiyao suspiciously and took her into the house. Lu Zhiyao entered the room and was surrounded by three people sitting on a chair, feeling the urge to laugh.
"Looking at me so fiercely, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat you? I should be afraid, why are you so nervous? Lu Zhiyao spoke helplessly, then moved his injured arm, and continued: "Even if I move, I will definitely not be able to win against you with one hand." ”
"Why are you helping us?" Liu Xisheng asked coldly.
"Because you want to repay the favor. Xia Yao saved my life, and General Xia can be regarded as kind to me. Moreover, I don't believe that General Xia really did treason with the enemy, I want to know the truth of the matter. ”
Although Lu Zhiyao said this, Liu Xisheng and the others had never seen her, and they didn't know what happened to her and Xia Yao. The three of them looked at Lu Zhiyao intently, trying to tell from her expression whether her words were true or false. Bringing her here, the three of them just wanted to get a little bit of information from her, because she was the first to come to the door to help them. If they find that something is wrong with her, the three of them can also kill her, and there is no need to worry about the future.
Lu Zhiyao looked at a few people calmly, with joy and bitterness in his heart. "Xia Yao told me about you, and I have secretly seen your appearance, so when I meet, I can recognize you at a glance. Today, the ** people are looking for me, but do you want to ask about Jiang Wei? ”
"That's right, it's Jiang Wei." Bai Lixuan took over and asked in a low voice, "What do you know?" Let's hear it. ”
"Jiang Wei used to be the county of Xuncheng, if you say that you understand, you all know more than I do. I only know that he came to the capital a few days ago, and now he is in the Criminal Department. Near Jiang Wei's mansion, there have been many officers and soldiers guarding it recently. So I'm wondering if the news of your survival has been known to him, that's why he's so vigilant. ”
"What else do you know?" Qingling couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I still know some things that you don't know, but in exchange, you have to tell me what happened in Xuncheng that day. Why were they led to search for the city, and died in the city. ”
