Chapter Seventy-Five: Searching
Jian Xiaozhu turned around and saw billowing smoke coming out of Wangjiang Tower. The guards on duty outside all ran in to extinguish the fire. Jian Xiaozhu didn't know what the situation was inside, at this time she just wanted to leave this place quickly. At that moment, however, she heard a cry from the crowd. Then she saw a little girl being knocked down in the crowd, huddled tightly. And around, no one pulled her up.
Without thinking too much, Jian Xiaozhu ran in the direction of the little girl, trying to pull her up. And just as she was about to approach the little girl, she was suddenly bumped by the pushing crowd. Just when Jian Xiaozhu was about to fall, a strong hand held her.
Jian Xiaozhu turned around and saw a person wearing a demon mask looking at her through the mask. Jian Xiaozhu looked at the pair of eyes that looked a little familiar behind the mask, and asked, "Is it Zhu Gongzi?" ”
However, the masked man did not answer Jian Xiaozhu, but immediately let go of her and turned to leave.
"Hey!"
Jian Xiaozhu reached out and grabbed this person's clothes, but the cry of the little girl behind him made Jian Xiaozhu quickly let go of this person, but turned around to help the little girl up, and asked, "Little sister, are you okay?" ”
"Mom...... I can't find my mother......"
It seems that the little girl was separated from her mother. Jian Xiaozhu held the little girl in her arms, but when she raised her palm, she found that her fingertips were stained with red blood at some point.
"Are you alright?"
Jian Xiaozhu lowered her head and carefully checked the little girl's clothes, seeing that there were no wounds on her clothes. While Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was also stunned.
It's the guy just now! When I pulled at his clothes, I got blood.
That person must have been injured!
Jian Xiaozhu escorted the little girl to the crowd, and soon, she heard a woman shouting: "Xuan'er, Xuan'er, where are you?" ”
Hearing this voice, the little girl raised her head, broke free from Jian Xiaozhu's arms, and shouted at the woman: "Mom, Mom, I'm here." ”
Seeing that the little girl ran in front of the women, Jian Xiaozhu couldn't care about them anymore, but chased them in the direction where the masked man had left.
Zhu Yan, if the assassin is you, there must be no trouble......
Squeezing out of the crowd, Jian Xiaozhu saw that the Wangjiang Tower not far away was still billowing smoke. I don't know what happened to Murong Yi and them, but with so many guards here, Murong Yi and Su Moxue will definitely be able to leave the building where the fire broke out safely.
Moreover, when Murong Yi encountered such a thing, he would not come to her to put Kong Ming lanterns with her as promised.
Jian Xiaozhu decided to put the agreement with Murong Yi behind first, at this time, it was still important to find Zhu Yan. However, the street in front of me is so wide, and there are many people wearing masks. She didn't know where Zhu Yan had gone. This made Jian Xiaozhu can only walk aimlessly on the street.
A group of officers and soldiers with knives appeared in front of Jian Xiaozhu, and one of them said, "That assassin seems to have run towards this side, why is there no one to be seen." ”
The officer and soldier who took the lead said: "Let's split up and look for it, anyway, I heard from Gonggong Xu that the assassin was injured, and the sword that injured him was poisonous, and the poison would attack slowly, and he couldn't run far." ”
After that, these officers and soldiers scattered, and Jian Xiaozhu also began to get nervous. It's just that she doesn't know where Zhu Yan ran to, and she can't find him. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly swept through Jian Xiaozhu's body, and Jian Xiaozhu walked aimlessly through an alley beside him. It wasn't until she was about to walk out of the alley that suddenly, she heard a cat meow. Immediately after, she stepped on something very soft.
Jian Xiaozhu lowered her head, but found that what she was stepping on turned out to be a person's hand. She saw that the person who fell to the ground was an officer and soldier who had just run into the alley. And next to the officers and soldiers, there was the man in the mask.
Jian Xiaozhu reached out tremblingly, trying to take the mask off the man's face. However, before she could hold the man's mask in her hand, she was grabbed by the other party's wrist. I saw that the other party did not completely lose consciousness, but quickly stretched out his other hand, which seemed to be holding a short knife glowing with silver light.
Just as the blade was about to slash at Jian Xiaozhu's throat, Jian Xiaozhu shouted: "It's me!" ”
After hearing Jian Xiaozhu's voice, the person suddenly withdrew his hand, while Jian Xiaozhu gasped in fear. In case this person is not Zhu Yan, her life will be explained here. And the other party's voice made Jian Xiaozhu sure that this person was Zhu Yan.
"You...... Why is it here? ”
Zhu Yan's voice was very weak, and through the mask, Jian Xiaozhu saw Zhu Yan's eyes scattered. Therefore, he didn't recognize who she was, so he dared to attack her.
"I just happened to be passing by, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
After that, Jian Xiaozhu trembled and took off Zhu Yan's mask, but found that this person with the same voice as Zhu Yan actually had a completely different face from Zhu Yan.
"I'll go, hell!"
Jian Xiaozhu took a look and found that the complexion on Zhu Yan's face was not quite the same as his neck. She got closer, only to find that Zhu Yan's face seemed to be covered with something similar to a human skin mask. Then, down from Zhu Yan's chest, Jian Xiaozhu saw a wound that was constantly bubbling out. This made Jian Xiaozhu say, "You are injured, I have to help you treat it quickly."
Zhu Yan said in a weak voice: "No...... Use. After being poisoned, my body will gradually lose strength, and the poison will invade my internal organs and even bone marrow within three days, and in the end, my body will ...... Along with the bones, it turned into a pool of blood......"
Unexpectedly, the poison in Zhu Yan's place was to dissolve the bones, Jian Xiaozhu remembered that she had seen this extremely domineering poison in the book where the poison was in Zhang Tiande's library. The antidote to Huagusan requires two very rare medicinal herbs, one of which happens to be available in Zhang Tiande's medicinal herb shop. And the other ......
10,000 ginseng! Su Moxue gave it to Bai Ningshuang, and in the end, Jian Xiaozhu picked up the two cheap ancient ginseng, which were Wan Wu ginseng!
"I'll help you prepare the antidote, don't forget, I'm the daughter of the Imperial Doctor! So, until I prepare the antidote, you must live! ”
After saying that, Jian Xiaozhu began to take down Zhu Yan's clothes. Zhu Yan, who was weak, could only let Jian Xiaozhu take off his clothes. After Jian Xiaozhu took off Zhu Yan's coat, he went to the side of the officer and soldier again, only to see that although the other party fell to the ground and did not wake up, he still had a faint breathing. It seems that Zhu Yan did not kill this innocent officer and soldier.
Jian Xiaozhu took off the coat of this officer and soldier, and then handed it to Zhu Yan. Then, she put Zhu Yan's mask on the face of this officer and soldier.
After doing these things, Jian Xiaozhu helped Zhu Yan up, only to feel that Zhu Yan's whole person was very heavy. Fortunately, Jian Xiaozhu did a lot of heavy work such as fetching water during the period when Bai Ningshuang was beaten into the cold palace, so she still had the strength to carry Zhu Yan for a while.
"In a moment, I'll put on your clothes and go to lure away the other officers and soldiers. And you, hurry home, and wait for me to bring you the antidote. ”
