Chapter 58: The moon falls and the blood stains the red
In the poor autumn and September, the swallows are flying, and the night is long and the wine is happy.
Things flourish and decline, and happiness gives birth to sorrow. A feast, a storm. The assassin walked out of the door of the Wei Mansion, holding Wei Zhixian hostage with one hand and whistling with the other, and a red and brown horse galloped in the distance.
The Assassin mounted his horse, pushed Wei Zhixian inward, and rode away.
Everyone had different thoughts, Fu Huazhi immediately rushed up, hugged Wei Zhixian, and looked up and down.
"Ah Xian, I didn't get hurt."
Wei Zhixian shook his head, his eyes were red, but he looked at Lu Weizhen with tears in his eyes. Who knew what the young man was saying to Duanmu Yuhua in her ear, and she turned her head even crying.
A feathered arrow flew sideways into her ear, striking the Assassin in the back. Several people looked over, and the direction of the arrow, the left shoulder blade, was two inches down, which was exactly where the heart was.
Wei Sique's archery skills are excellent, and he hits every shot.
Duanmu Xihua breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was the man's good luck, or maybe he was already on guard and slightly sideways to avoid the fatal position. The arrow was tilted to the right, but it still penetrated into the flesh, and it was evident that the figure on horseback trembled.
They turned their heads to look at Wei Sique behind them, and saw that he was pulling the meniscus bow, and took out another arrow, aiming it at the assassin who was still on the run.
He drew his bow, his voice cold as ice.
"Why, do you really want to let the Assassins go? I thought you should be like me, and what you just said was just a delaying tactic. ”
"Or is this assassin, and some of the people present know him."
The arrow must not be shot again, and even if the Assassin could dodge, he was already badly wounded.
Duanmu Yuhua took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, today is the banquet that Wei Shibo deliberately set up for you. It's not good to see blood, if you add another life. ”
The girl clasped her hands together and made a toasting gesture.
"I wish you a thousand years old, blessed and healthy."
The girl looked up and met Wei Sique's gaze at her. His pupils were full of predation, naked, as if he was being targeted by some beast.
"Okay."
He nodded, and took his bow and arrows.
"Ah Que, go and see Ah Xian, don't have any more accidents."
Fu Huazhi saw Wei Zhixian crying all the way, and walked into the Wei Mansion with one foot, not knowing where to run.
"Ah Que, you are guarding here, I'll go to the study to have a look."
The daughter was safe and sound, and Wei Qiguang was relieved. Thinking of the things in the study, he looked quite strange. Walking in a hurry, ignoring Mrs. Wei's shouts at all.
"You one by one, he doesn't love his daughter, and you don't love your sister."
Wei Sique was unmoved.
"Mother, Ah Xian is fine now. If you're worried, you can teach someone to cook some soothing soup, and your son still has something to do. ”
Fu Huazhi stomped her feet, and finally took small steps to chase her daughter.
Here, Duanmu Yuhua breathed a sigh of relief, a little bead of sweat soaked in her palms, and Lu Weizhen called out to her softly.
"Xi Hua, your foot hurts."
"Don't worry." She shook her head, her nerves too tense to feel any pain in her body.
The young man smiled softly and lowered his head to her ear.
"Well, I'll be on my way back in a moment. There is a pharmacy whose trauma medicine is very top-notch, called Xinglin Baicaotang. ”
"They specialize in bruises, but also swords and other wounds. The soldiers in the barracks are all going there to ask for it, you can stop and buy some. ”
"Okay."
Seeing that she agreed, Lu Weizhen pointed ahead, and Qingye was waving to her.
"The carriage is ahead."
"Hmm."
She nodded, her steps a little vain. The young man was a little worried, and after thinking about it, he still followed quickly.
"Wait a minute, the county lord has just injured her leg and foot, I'll send her over first."
Cui Kongling responded, Jiang Lanhe moved forward, and also wanted to go up to help Duanmu Xihua. He didn't even pay attention to when his cousin was injured, but the next second he was blocked by Baili Zhiheng's abacus, signaling him to see for himself.
The young man in white held the girl with both hands, and he walked behind, as if holding up an umbrella, covering the shadow behind her.
After sending her to the carriage, Lu Weizhen shouted again.
"Xi Hua."
She turned her head.
"You must remember that it is the Apricot Forest Hundred Grass Hall."
His expression was serious, and he unconsciously carried a little bit of the majesty of a superior. The girl nodded, lifted the curtain and entered the carriage, and an exclamation came from inside the carriage.
Several people looked sideways.
I saw the girl open the curtain on the window, and the scenery in the car was unobstructed. She was half-lying on the ground, her face dyed crimson.
"I was drunk tonight, and my feet were not very sharp, so I didn't sit firmly."
Then she lowered the curtain of the carriage, and Kiyono drove the carriage slowly away from their sight.
"Sir, sir."
As soon as Duanmu Yuhua entered the car, he saw the masked assassin. She couldn't hold back and exclaimed. The next second, he pulled the veil, and sure enough, it was Jade Breath Lingyue.
At this moment, the young man's face was pale, and even his lips were a tattered gray. He bit his lip hard, his forehead covered with sweat. The whole body was trembling, and I just endured it to the extreme.
"Qingye, you see if there is an apricot forest herb hall on the road, let's go there first."
"Huh."
Kiyono drove the carriage and galloped all the way.
She sat on the ground, holding the young man in one hand.
"Sir, hold on, I'm here."
"It's fine."
Jade Breath Lingyue tried to show a weak smile, originally trying to teach her to rest assured. But it happened to pull the wound, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Drops of blood snaked down her robes in an instant, dripping down her fingertips like a river.
"Sir."
She touched his back with one hand, and the rouge was pure white and wet.
At this moment, she almost cried urgently. Duanmu Yuhua shook her head vigorously, no, she has to be strong, she must not panic at this time.
If she panicked, scared, and retreated. Jade Breath Lingyue really had no choice, she had to save him and give him strength.
"Sir, don't speak, don't worry, I'm here."
The girl held his hand tightly, her hands were cold and beads of sweat, but she tried her best to warm him.
After half an hour, the carriage stopped.
"County Lord, when you arrive, the courtyard in front of you is the Apricot Forest Baicao Hall."
"Hey, the door is open."
Duanmu Yuhua lifted the curtain and took a look, a little strange. The door is wide open, and a sign is erected next to the courtyard, on which the book is dashing - Xinglin Baicaotang.
It's as if she knew someone was coming, she said.
"Just drive in the carriage."
"Yes."
The moon in the atrium is like water, and there is a medicine mortar on the ground, and some herbs. A young man, who looked like he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, was holding a medicine hammer and crushing them into powder at once.
Duanmu Yuhua was the first to jump out of the car.
"It's coming."
As if there was no surprise at all, they were waiting for them.
The boy was dressed in white and wore a blue stud earring in his left ear. Like a piece of flawless jade cast jade, even if it squats there quietly, it is also rich and beautiful, and the charm is unique.
He looked up at them, and Kiyono exclaimed.
"Who are you?"
Without him, except for his pure black eyes. The young man in front of him was born at least six points like Mu Xihua in appearance.
The boy grinned, his lips red and his teeth white.
"Let's save people first."
"Mingse, Huan Yi, don't be lazy, come out and move the people out of the car."
The young man shouted to the room behind him, and a man and a woman came out, with handsome and beautiful faces, and a demeanor of their own. "Yes, master."
They bowed respectfully to the young man in front of them, and then lifted the curtain and moved the jade breath Lingyue to the west wing.
"Alright, you two are waiting next door. I'm going to save people, and it's going to be an hour. ”
"Mingse, Huanyi."
"Yes."
The woman carried a basin of water with a towel on it. The man held an open medicine box with all kinds of knives, scissors, tweezers, acupuncture, threads, and the like.
Duanmu Xihua looked at it in his heart, and looked at the young man in front of him with some suspicion, can this work? As if knowing what she was thinking, the boy said a word before closing the door.
"Lu Xinghe, my name."
She and Kiyono waited anxiously outside the door, and after an initial muffled snort inside, the man threw out a bloodstained arrow.
Fu closed the door again, and waited for a while, but there was no more movement. On the window lattice illuminated by the candlelight, Duanmu Yuhua saw the young man's posture like a pine, standing in front of the bed, and his hands were flying.
One moment he asked the man next to him to hand over the knife, and the other time he handed something else, without any pause.
Half an hour later, the woman opened the door. After several trips back and forth, and several basins of blood and water, the door closed again.
After another quarter of an hour, the man opened the door.
"The master said, 'You can go in.'"
Yuxi Lingyue was lying on the bed with a raft in her mouth. The moment they entered, his lips loosened, and the raft fell to the ground, teeth marks clearly visible.
The young man gasped weakly for a few breaths, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of steaming moisture. As if all his strength had been exhausted, he finally fell asleep.
The boy soaked the cloth and was still wiping his wounds, and soon the stain was completely clean, and the original appearance of his back was revealed.
Because the skin and flesh were white and tender, the few wounds that cut into the flesh and bones, and the broken blood holes, which were shot by Wei Sique's feather arrows, made them even more hideous and terrifying.
The boy sweated a lot on his forehead, but the movement continued.
He took the herbs he had just mashed in the yard and poured the powder over the wound. At the end, he cut a bandage and tied it around his abdomen and tied a knot.
Duanmu Xihua watched the whole process, bandaged to the end, and the person who was obviously tired and fell asleep in the past was contracting and trembling in every muscle.
He must have been in pain, it hurt.
"Whew."
The boy exhaled softly, first gesturing to silence them. Then he pointed out, finally nodded, and walked out.
They followed him.
"It'll be fine after a few more days of recuperation, the consultation fee has already been paid, you can wait here until dawn, and then take him back."
"Mingse, Huanyi, it's time for us to go."
"Yes, master."
"Hey, why are you leaving?" Isn't this their medicine house?
The young man turned around and smiled slightly, and Duanmu Yuhua suddenly thought. It's not that she hasn't visited Shengjing, especially on this road. When has there ever been such an apricot grove baicaotang, this should be more than tonight.
Looking at the face that was similar to his own, he thought of him saying that his surname was Lu.
Her heart fluttered.
"But Lu Weizhen asked Your Excellency to save people."
The boy nodded.
"Do you have any questions?"
He has enough patience with her and is also very kind.
However, Kiyono felt a little weird. Because of such a young man who looks at the moon in the dust, but in such an old-fashioned tone, he speaks to a girl who is much older than himself, which is really wrong.
"What's your relationship with him?"
"Hmm"
The young man was a little entangled for a while, and he said.
"He's my nephew."
Kiyono: "?? ”
Duanmu Xihua: "? ”
The man named Huan Yi coughed at the right time and spoke.
"Master, this year, seven out of fifty."
The two looked at the boy in disbelief, and then at the man who spoke, he was full of seriousness, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
The woman looked at the sky and reminded.
"Master, we have to get ready to go."
Tonight has been busy so far, and it is almost ugly (1-3 p.m.). And they had to leave Shengjing before dawn and rush back to Chunshan.
"Hmm."
The boy nodded, his gaze softening at her. He opened his mouth to say something, but it seemed that he had thought of someone's request. Shaking his head, he swallowed it back.
"Take care, there will be a period later."
