Chapter 90: Beauty Assassin
After eating some wild fruits, Zhu Hao rested for another hour to nourish his spirits. Dragging his heavy body slowly around to see if there is anything else to satisfy his stomach, at present, if he wants to ensure that his life escapes, food is the most important thing.
After walking more than ten meters, he suddenly heard a slight moan, although it was not big, but it was enough to attract his attention in this uninhabited valley, Zhu Hao walked towards a bush where the sound came from.
I saw a white figure lying quietly on the grass by the stream, it seemed that it was the assassin who was fighting with him in front, but this assassin was also extremely embarrassed at present: the white clothes on his body were scratched and riddled with holes, revealing a lot of bruises and blood marks on his snow-white skin, and it was still bleeding, Zhu Hao knew that although this assassin was not injured before, he was not washed into the hot spring after falling into the river, so the wound did not heal, and now he is not as good as his spirit.
Looking at it again, this assassin is in excellent shape, it may be the relationship of perennial martial arts training, the curves are extremely beautiful, and the clothes all over his body are soaked, which makes him look even more convex and beautiful, making him cold and burst out of an evil fire.
Zhu Hao hurriedly calmed down and smiled bitterly, when is it now, still thinking about this!
The woman's veil has long been missing, Zhu Hao looked at it carefully, and suddenly lost his mind: This woman is so beautiful, even in the eyes of the future world, it is also the kind of ethereal and unattainable peerless stunner in martial arts novels! The eyebrows are picturesque, the snow-white skin, the delicate nose bridge, the slightly open cherry lips, the black cloud temples, everything is so unreal.
Zhu Hao shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and thought about how to deal with her, he couldn't leave her here, but what if he woke her up and found himself desperately, although he was not afraid of her if he lost his weapon, it was not his wish to fight with a beauty.
While she was struggling with her thoughts, the woman groaned again, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked very pained.
Sighing, Zhu Hao used all his strength to drag the woman and move it to a dry land, and walked only a dozen meters before he was tired and panting, although he was tired, but the softness from his hands still made him ecstatic, the woman was hot, as if she was having a fever, which should be caused by soaking in the cold river water, and the woman's body was always not as strong as the man, so she suffered from the wind cold.
The most important thing at the moment is to build a fire and get some food that can replenish her energy, and then think about how to heal her. Zhu Hao probed the woman's breath, but fortunately it was relatively stable. He took off his wet clothes, and dried them on the bluestone with matches, bullets and other water-resistant things, and went to the surrounding area to collect firewood.
In this valley, the grass and trees are quite vigorous, and there are many wild small animals, and these small animals seem to have never seen humans, and they are not afraid of him, Zhu Hao easily caught a pheasant and a hare, secretly recited Amitabha, and dragged the prey and a bundle of firewood back.
After working for a long time, when I came back, I found that the woman had woken up and was leaning against the stone wall. Zhu Hao saw that she was still in a state of mind and her face was flushed, so she was inconvenient to disturb, so she packed up her prey and set up firewood. The matches had been dried, and Zhu Hao tried to draw a few, but his luck was good, and he lit one. The woman didn't speak, just watched quietly as he went about his business.
After a while, a fire was already very bright, and the peeled and washed prey was also grilled on the fire, and after a while, there was a burst of meat aroma. Zhu Hao grinded some of the herbs he picked into juice and smeared them on the meat as seasonings, and the fragrance suddenly became stronger.
After a while, Zhu Hao broke off a leg from the hare that had been examined, tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, the meat was fragrant and tender, and it was already ripe. One glance at the woman, she couldn't help but laugh at her greedy gaze at the roast in his hand. Then he handed over the meat and said, "You are sick, eat this, the illness will be better, and I will get some herbs for you later." ”
The woman silently took the barbecue, whispered "thank you", and then couldn't wait to eat, Zhu Hao watched the beauty eat, quite enjoyable, this woman looked hungry, and didn't care about the image of a lady, but there were some hot girls in later generations, which made him feel more cordial.
"You eat first, I'll go and see if I can find some herbs." Zhu Hao said gently.
"Then, you should come back quickly." The woman's voice was melodious, like a clear mountain spring, refreshing people's hearts.
Zhu Hao is a little funny, a woman is a woman in the end, in a strange and lonely environment, no matter how strong a woman is, she will reveal her true form, just like a fierce female man who does not dare to watch a horror movie alone.
"Okay, you have a good rest, don't just walk around, I'll be back in a while, and if anything happens, yell at it."
"Hmm."
It seemed that the woman's anger had subsided, Zhu Hao put his mind at ease and walked quickly into the forest.
Although it is warm all year round due to the geothermal heat, it is winter, and the grass and trees in the forest are still a little yellow. Zhu Hao wandered around for a long time before he found a few common herbs, and thanks to his years of dealing with famous doctors such as Wu Youxing, he knew a lot of Chinese medicine. It's just that these herbs have average medicinal properties and can only be slowly regulated.
After working for more than an hour, Zhu Hao came back with a handful of herbs and some edible mushrooms. The woman was still holding her eyelids and waiting for him to come back, the wet clothes on her body had been changed, covering Zhu Hao's coat that had dried on the bluestone.
"You can sleep first, and then get up and take your medicine later."
The woman nodded obediently, but could no longer hold on, and tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhu Hao put a lot of thought into what tools to use to boil the medicine, and finally he found a piece of wood and dug it into a wooden bowl with a dagger, and then put it on a thin stone slab to roast it.
Although it was very time-consuming, it took a full afternoon, but the effect was not bad, the familiar medicinal fragrance filled the air, Zhu Hao took a nap, woke up and saw that it had been boiled.
Seeing that it was already dark, Zhu Hao added some firewood and called the woman up.
After eating and resting for a while, the woman's spirit improved significantly, and when she saw Zhu Hao holding a wooden bowl and clumsily feeding him medicine, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhu Hao was stunned for a moment, it was so beautiful, this smile was really like a hundred flowers blooming, the light wind and the moon, the so-called beauties were often described in ancient books as like fairies in the moon, and I often thought it was exaggerated.
"I can't imagine that you, a pampered person, will serve others." The woman said.
"Beauty, you should be treated like this." Zhu Hao didn't pay attention to it, and said the set of words in later generations, but fortunately, he has been in this era for a long time, and he has not practiced for a long time, and he has not said anything excessive.
Rao is so, in the era of such a respectful ceremony in the Ming Dynasty, the sentence just now is enough to attract criticism.
Sure enough, the woman's face changed, and she was about to have a seizure, but when she saw that Zhu Hao's eyes were full of appreciation, and there was no other bad color, the unhappiness in her heart immediately dissipated, but she was a little happy: "He's praising me for my beauty!" ”
Zhu Hao saw that her face changed several times, and she was a little confused, women are fickle animals, and beautiful women are even more difficult to serve, but countless men don't even want the lower limit in order to please beautiful women, it is really a world trend. This guy thought angrily, but he didn't realize that he himself had fallen into the trap.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?" Zhu Hao stopped thinking and asked cautiously.
"Why am I telling you? What are your intentions? The woman said alarmedly.
"Hey, where do you think, if I wanted to do you badly, I would have done it when you were unconscious! I'm just asking for your name so that I'm going to be called, and I can't just scream like that. Zhu Hao scratched his head and said.
"That's right, my name is Bai Ling." The woman thought for a moment.
"My name is Zhu Hao." Zhu Hao couldn't wait to introduce himself.
"I know."
“……”
"Closer to home, why did you save me?" The woman who called herself Bai Ling said suddenly.
"Then why did you kill me? I don't seem to have any enmity with you, do I? Zhu Hao asked rhetorically.
"It's not my idea, it's our eldest sister's meaning."
"Then why, I haven't offended your eldest sister." Zhu Hao was a little confused.
"For your sake, let's tell you the truth, we are from the White Lotus Sect."
"White Lotus Sect? How did I forget this! Zhu Hao frowned.
The White Lotus Sect was founded by Mao Ziyuan at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, acting mysteriously, both good and evil, to the peak of the Ming Dynasty, the last head of the White Lotus Sect during the Wanli period, Wang Sen, rebelled, and then the main force was exterminated.
"But isn't the White Lotus Sect a non-governmental organization, how can it have any dealings with the government?"
"Do you think the current White Lotus Sect is still the same as the previous White Lotus Sect?" Bai Ling said leisurely.
From Bai Ling's words, Zhu Hao learned that the White Lotus Sect was divided into three sects: white, red and green after Wang Sen, and the White Lotus Sect advocated supporting the imperial court, mainly in Hebei and Shandong, and Bai Ling herself was also the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect; The Red Lotus Sect continued to revolt and rebel, and reprimanded the White Lotus Sect for aiding and abusive, mainly distributed in the Shaanxi, Jin, and Central Plains regions; The Blue Lotus Sect adheres to the teachings of the original White Lotus Sect and operates in the south and does not participate in disputes. Li Yan's wife, the Red Lady, is the Holy Aunt of the Red Lotus Sect, and she has many capable people, and this assassination was also organized by her personally. The red lady was afraid that Zhu Hao would have many soldiers around him, so she sent a few capable generals and brought gunpowder, and was targeted since Zhu Hao arrived in Zhengzhou, and did not start until Zhu Xianzhen. It had snowed heavily the day before, giving the Assassins an excellent opportunity to ambush. Zhu Hao was caught off guard, and was blown through the ice of the river by explosives, and fell into the undercurrent of the river with Bai Ling.
"Since you are a member of the White Lotus Sect, why did you help the Red Lady to assassinate me?" Zhu Hao wondered.
"You don't know yet, you are now not only a thorn in the side of the righteous army, but also a thorn in the flesh of the imperial court, both sides want to get rid of you, so senior sister and my sect reached an agreement, and the two sides jointly assassinated you."
"So I'm so dangerous! The Emperor wants to kill me too! Zhu Hao smiled bitterly.
"I don't know whose idea it was, you can think for yourself. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, you can't take advantage of others. After Bai Ling finished speaking, he yawned and said.
"Sleep, I'll keep watch over you."
"Aren't you resting?" Bai Ling asked curiously.
"I can't sleep, I have to think about something." Zhu Hao's mood was a little heavy.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, maybe things aren't what you imagined, at least I don't want to kill you anymore, hehe."
"Then I have to thank you, okay, go to sleep." Zhu Hao was a little moved, could it be that this chick took a fancy to herself and was reluctant to kill her? This guy is always so narcissistic.
Perhaps because of the medicinal properties, Bai Ling quickly fell asleep. It's close to late at night, but Zhu Hao can't sleep, it is said that the red lady has always been obedient to Li Yan, could it be that this assassination was instigated by Li Yan? Unlikely, Li Yan should not be the kind of person who will take revenge, that is the Red Lady's own idea. But why did Chongzhen kill himself, was he afraid of his own rebellion, but looking at Chongzhen's style of acting, he is not the kind of decisive person, so who wants his own life? I thought about it too much, and I didn't come up with a reason. It wasn't until the moonlight went down that I fell asleep tiredly.
When he woke up, it was already three poles in the sun, and Bai Ling had already gotten up, busy grilling a pheasant left over from yesterday. It's just that this girl is obviously not the material for work, and after a while, there will be a burnt smell.
"Hey, you're not right, barbecue has to be flipped over to make the meat evenly heated." Zhu Hao hurriedly snatched the pheasant.
"It's the first time for people, who knew that there was such a big knowledge in it." Bai Ling was a little stupid and pouted.
Zhu Hao glanced at her, after yesterday's conditioning, this girl's body has recovered most of her body, and she is no longer sick, but it saves him a lot of trouble.
After a while, the pheasant was roasted, Zhu Hao tore off the roasted part, tasted it, it was not bad, and the two of them quickly ate up the food with one bite at a time.
"Bai Ling, what are your plans?" After the meal, Zhu Hao asked.
"This, I don't know, if the mission fails, I will definitely be punished when I go back, but if I don't go back, there is nowhere else to go, I have been an orphan since I was a child, and it was the master who raised me, and since the death of the master, I have taken the White Lotus Sect as my home." Bai Ling said silently.
"Otherwise, you can go back to Xuzhou with me, the people there live and work in peace and contentment, and you will definitely like it when you go." Zhu Hao said a little anxiously.
Who knew that Bai Ling shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later, I still have to go back to my life." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Hao couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, and said: "Okay, I'm not strong, if there is something difficult in the future, remember to come to Xuzhou to find me." ”
"Definitely. I realize that you're not a good person, and you're not what they say you are, hehe. ”
