Chapter Forty-Eight: Staying Together
"Your Highness." Ye Zitong turned sideways and looked at Chu Litian, "Don't say much else, if you can come here this time, it can be regarded as saving my life, I, Ye Zitong, remember it in my heart." With that, he turned around and walked towards the house.
Chu Litian couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Ye Zitong actually saying such a thing, but when he saw her tired back, he couldn't say anything.
Ye Zitong walked towards the house step by step, at this time, her heart was a little confused, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
The news that the most difficult plague to treat was cured by the Eighth Emperor Concubine Ye Zitong soon spread throughout Anling Kingdom, and the people who had been worried about the epidemic in the southwest city could finally breathe a sigh of relief and cheer for Ye Zitong's intelligence.
And the emperor soon learned the news from the barnyard official, and a big stone in his heart finally landed, and he was overjoyed to ask the barnyard official about Ye Zitong's whereabouts.
"The Eighth Imperial Concubine should still be cleaning up the aftermath with the Eighth Imperial Prince, and Anzhou has sent some officials to help deal with the plague corpses in the closed city."
"Send the prime minister to pick it up, hurry up and send the prime minister to pick it up! In the past few days, the prime minister has been mentioning the Eighth Emperor Concubine in the early court, I really didn't expect that this woman is too smart and too smart! I'm going to reward her heavily! ”
The eunuch who was waiting next to him immediately knelt down and listened to the order.
In the afternoon of the same day, the prime minister received the order and rushed towards the southwest city non-stop.
Chu Yatian naturally got the news, but he still couldn't believe it, Chu Litian not only survived in the southwest city, but also found Ye Zitong, and even cured the plague, did all the luck run to them?
"Master, the emperor has ordered Prime Minister Ye to go to the southwest to pick up the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Princess, do we have to take some action?" The herring made a motion to wipe its neck.
Chu Yatian looked at the ghost chrysanthemum outside the door and sneered: "Naturally, just like a flower, the more vigorous it blooms, the more completely it will be defeated. ”
Southwest City.
Seven days have passed, all the people who have been infected with the plague and have not died have been cured after drinking Ye Zitong's medicine, and the city guards and the people sent by Anzhou to support have been working day and night to bury all the rotten and non-rotten corpses into the soil.
Gradually, the place is regaining its life, no longer as desolate as it was a few days ago, and the shops are slowly opening up.
Seeing that the situation here was getting better and better, Ye Zitong exhaled heavily and handed out the last stable medicine to the last person.
"God, I'm going to have to take a shower when I get back, I smell like I've just crawled out of a pile of rotting corpses, it must be terrible."
Chu Litian was helping her bag the Chinese medicine on the side, and when he heard her words, he chuckled and said, "I think you are very cute now." ”
Ye Zitong glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Another teasing word?" ”
"Why do you always take other people's heartfelt compliments as ridicule and ridicule?" Chu Litian narrowed his eyes.
"Heartily? You're not kidding, right, people like you can have a heartfelt heart? Ye Zitong's apricot eyes widened.
"You ......" Chu Litian was blocked by her and had nothing to say, but after thinking about it, he made sense again, and slowly leaned towards her, "Since you said that I have no heart, then I can do whatever I want?" ”
"Are you sure you're interested in me right now?" Ye Zitong fanned his clothes, and a foul smell came out, rushing straight to the tip of Chu Litian's nose.
Chu Litian was stung by this smell and took a few steps back, and secretly scolded in his heart that you are ruthless, and shook his head helplessly, he really had nothing to do about her.
When the two of them were packing up their things, an old lady who was hobbling suddenly came and came to Ye Zitong: "Divine doctor, my stomach hurts, can you help me see if it's okay?" ”
Ye Zitong nodded hurriedly and took the four-legged round stool: "Old woman, sit down." ”
She asked Chu Litian to turn around and pressed the old lady's stomach: "Does it hurt?" ”
The old lady didn't speak, Ye Zitong raised her head in surprise, and saw that the old lady, who was very weak just now, suddenly had a hideous face, and at some point, an extra dagger appeared in her hand, stabbing at her.
Ye Zitong screamed in fright, and took a step back keenly, while Chu Litian also noticed it, quickly grabbed the old lady's arm, and roared angrily: "What do you want to do?!" ”
Looking at it again, where is this old lady still old, weak and sick, she lifted the hood, and a hideous man was exposed in front of them, although the right hand was imprisoned, but the right foot kicked hard towards Chu Litian, and Chu Litian was looking at Ye Zitong, and he was kicked without paying attention, almost kneeling, and with this kick, Chu Litian realized that this man pretending to be an old lady was definitely a person with strong martial arts, and this kick was extremely powerful, if he hadn't exercised since he was a child, it was estimated that this kick would make him crippled.
Ye Zitong smashed the wooden stick on the table to grind the Chinese medicine at the man, and the man caught it with his left hand, but Ye Zitong was full of anger this time, he barely caught it, but he heard the sound of his hand bones cracking, so he was even more angry, grabbed the wooden stick and pulled Ye Zitong over.
Chu Litian naturally didn't allow him to do this, reached out and grabbed the man's hand, threw him to the ground neatly, and then grabbed his neck, and lifted him up with a force: "Who sent you?" ”
"Hmph, it seems that you have a lot of enemies, who else is there besides Chu Yatian?" Although the man was choked by the neck, he was not panicked at all, a sneer pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly as soon as his body exerted force, Chu Litian felt that his hand was loosened, and under Ye Zitong's roar, the man ran away without a trace.
Too...... It's almost there.
Ye Zitong also opened his mouth wide in shock, and muttered: "What kind of person is this, how can he have such a fast speed, faster than yours!" ”
"And how did he break free from me?" Chu Litian didn't feel his break free at all, he only felt that as soon as his hand was released, he ran away.
"Is it Chu Yatian's people?" After reacting, Ye Zitong was surprised again, "You have already turned your face?" ”
Chu Litian said goodbye to his face: "There's no need to sue you, hurry up and pack up your things and go back." ”
"What's the matter with you? Why did the good ones turn their faces openly? In this way, Chu Yatian will deal with you openly and honestly in the future, haven't you pretended to be cowardly for so long? Why don't you pretend? ”
"What? Zitong can't be caring about me, right? Are you worried that I will be assassinated by Chu Yatian after I am exposed? Putting away his gloomy expression, Chu Litian smiled extraordinarily brightly.
"What do you dream about in the daytime? I'm worried about myself, don't you see that the man is coming straight at me? You're going to be killed right now. Thinking about the countless assassins since then, Ye Zitong complained bitterly, but fortunately, when she was researching the prescription for plague treatment, she also studied some poisons to protect herself, so that she would not be powerless.
Chu Litian wrapped around her from behind and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
"Thanks for what? And take your hands off me! Although at the moment when she was hugged by Chu Litian, Ye Zitong's heart was in a mess, as if she was scratched by the catkins floating all over the city in the summer, she still pushed him away very resolutely.
"Zitong, thank you for stopping the plague, stopping my incompetence, and allowing the people of Li to be reborn, I know you hate me, but please don't refuse me, okay?"
Chu Litian's suddenly gentle voice made Ye Zitong a little confused, it sounded so pitiful, it made her unbearable, and finally she had to nod and say, "I don't know what kind of nerves you have." ”
So Chu Litian hugged her tighter, rubbed his chin against her neck socket, and a satisfied voice came: "Zitong, you are so fragrant, it doesn't stink at all, I really want you now." ”
With a demonic whispering voice, Ye Zitong came to her senses, she pushed Chu Litian away hard, and said indignantly: "I knew that you would come to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!" I won't fall for you again! ”
Chu Litian's smile became more and more presumptuous: "Zitong, you should really use the bronze mirror to reflect your current appearance, your face is flushed, like an apple, which makes people want to eat you even more." ”
Ye Zitong glared at him viciously, and returned to the people's homes temporarily with his things.
She was taking a bath in the bath, Chu Litian was sitting on the steps of the door and planning what would happen after he went back, his father was furious with his trespass in the southwest, and even sent Chu Yatian to arrest him, and now his anger may not have subsided, but Ye Zitong is a hero in curing the plague, she should be rewarded, and she can't be dragged down by herself, he is thinking about whether he wants to go back and take the blame.
But at this moment, his keen sense of hearing caught some sounds, and when he looked up, several people wearing the clothes of the Four Princes' Mansion walked in, their steps were light, and the strength of their own weight and footsteps was just right, because if it was an ordinary person, they would be heard by Chu Litian from twenty meters away, obviously they were well hidden.
Chu Litian stood up slowly, his narrowed eyes were ruthless: "Chu Yatian is really not giving up, and he has sent wave after wave of people to assassinate him." ”
The leader showed a disapproving look: "It seems that you have a lot of enemies, and we can't care who they were before, but now it is true that the four princes sent us to kill people and kill people, who let you live too arrogantly." ”
"It's too small here to make a move, so why don't we go to the grove on the outskirts of the city?" Chu Litian's gaze unconsciously swept over the room behind him.
"We are the ghost killer known as the Grim Reaper, Chu Yatian sent us to deal with you, what about another woman?"
Chu Litian smiled slightly: "It turns out that you are a ghost killer, I have only heard your name before, and I have never learned from you, so I have to learn a lesson today." ”
"Less nonsense! We're not here to compete! Seeing that Chu Litian dared to despise them so much, the team leader raised his sword and stabbed at Chu Litian.
Chu Litian took out his long sword and fought with these four people, the sound of the sword collision carried the coldness of the wind, and soon it was noisy to Ye Zitong in the bath, she wrapped her nightgown and hurriedly walked out, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
