Chapter 424: Arriving in Lingzhou
The carriage continued to rush forward, Xie Shiyun felt a little difficult to support, her hands and feet were weak, Qin Lianyi saw this, carefully supported Xie Shiyun, looking at Xie Shiyun's pale face, Qin Lianyi was anxious.
Luo Qiuheng opened the curtain from outside the carriage and entered, and Qin Lianyi hurriedly called him: "Luo Qiuheng, come and see the princess." ”
Xie Shiyun leaned slightly on Qin Lianyi's body, her breath was weak, her face was pale, and there was not the slightest blood on her lips.
Luo Qiuheng took out a white handkerchief and covered Xie Shiyun's wrist, and bent the fingers of his right hand on her wrist to check her pulse.
Qin Lianyi's eyes were firmly fixed on Luo Qiuheng's expression, only to see Luo Qiuheng's eyebrows furrowed, and the expression on his face became worried.
After a long time, Luo Qiuheng withdrew his hand, but he didn't speak.
"How's the princess?" Feiyu on the side asked anxiously.
"The princess's current situation is not optimistic, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that even my blood will no longer be able to suppress the poison." Luo Qiuheng's expression was very solemn.
Hearing this, Fei Yu was anxious, and he only wished that he could fly directly to the northwest desert to pick the elixir back.
The atmosphere in the carriage became heavy for a moment.
"Ahem." Xie Shiyun didn't want them to worry, so she kept enduring the itching in her throat, but she still couldn't hold back and coughed quietly.
"Eat this." Luo Qiuheng immediately took out the white porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out a pill in his palm.
Seeing Xie Shiyun take the medicine, Luo Qiuheng's solemn expression did not ease, "We have to speed up the process." ”
Xie Shiyun wanted to say a few words to appease them, but moved her lips, but in the end she was speechless.
The speed of the carriage accelerated, probably because Shen Sijun intercepted the assassin behind them, and the group did not encounter any more assassins, and the speed was much slower than before, waiting for Shen Sijun to catch up with them.
Two days later, Shen Sijun took Xiaobai and a few guards to catch up with them.
"How's it going?" Xie Shiyun asked with a concerned face, the toxicity in her body had been suppressed by Luo Qiuheng again in the past two days, and her complexion at this moment was more ruddy than before.
"The assassins have been dealt with, but you look better." Shen Sijun's eyes were overflowing with tenderness, and the robes on his body were full of traces left after the fight.
Xie Shiyun smiled gently, "It's no big deal for the time being, just wait to find the elixir." ”
"Whew." Xiaobai, who was standing on the side, walked to Xie Shiyun's side and leaned together with his head, and his posture reappeared.
The white hair on Xiaobai's body had become gray, and it was stained with some assassin blood, Xie Shiyun half-bowed, reached out and stroked Xiaobai's head, and praised: "Xiaobai is very brave." ”
When Xiaobai heard this, he shook his head, as if he was very proud.
"It knocked down several Assassins." Shen Sijun's handsome face was also stained with some dust.
Xie Shiyun took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the dust off his face for him, Shen Sijun looked at her pretty face, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow, and everyone consciously turned their heads not to look at the two.
"Wait a while to rest in the carriage, you have few people with you, and it will definitely be very exhausting to deal with those assassins." Xie Shiyun looked caring, and after wiping it, she put the handkerchief into the cuff.
Shen Sijun held her wrist and took the handkerchief, "I'll take this." ”
Xie Shiyun watched him put the handkerchief into his arms, and suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have sent anything to Shen Sijun yet.
"Let's get into the carriage, you are not well, and you need to rest." Shen Sijun took Xie Shiyun's hand, and the warm feeling in his hand made Xie Shiyun feel that he also had it in his heart; Warm, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise a little, and followed Shen Sijun into the carriage.
The group hit the road again, and without the harassment of the Assassins, they sped up their speed and soon arrived in Lingzhou.
Everyone stayed in an inn in Lingzhou, and when they asked for a room at the front desk, Luo Qiuheng proposed to go to the desert land in the northwest to find the elixir, "Now that I have arrived in Lingzhou, I don't think there will be any harm in coming, I plan to take Feiyu to the northwest to find the elixir, and the time can not be delayed any longer." ”
Hearing this, Fei Yu nodded solemnly.
Xie Shiyun's eyes flashed, and she was moved in her heart, "It's okay to be a day late, I'm suppressing the toxicity now, you better rest for a day first, and then go tomorrow." ”
"Princess, you can go back as soon as possible, and your poison can be unraveled as soon as possible." Fei Yu refused.
Xie Shiyun had no other choice but to let them go, and when they left, Xie Shiyun repeatedly told them to be careful and watched them go away.
After Luo Qiuheng and Feiyu left, Xie Shiyun and others stayed at the inn, while Shen Sijun went to find the local prefect.
After Xie Wen quelled the Xiongnu turmoil in Lingzhou, the local scene was very different from before, and the faces of the local people were full of smiles.
Xie Shiyun sat by the window, looking at the smiles on the faces of the people walking back and forth on the street, and was very relieved, but when she thought of it, Xie Wen's life and death were uncertain now, and her mood was low again.
"Ripples." Xie Shiyun looked out the window and called out with a fluttering look in her eyes.
"Yes." Qin Lianyi stood beside her and said softly.
Xie Shiyun's fingers rubbed the white porcelain cup, and the tea in the cup warmly ironed her fingertips, she seemed to be injecting a glimmer of hope into herself in this way, "Xie Wen must still be alive." ”
"Yes." Qin Lianyi said firmly.
Hearing this, Xie Shiyun calmed down, looked at the scene on the street, and his eyes were a little firmer.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, Xie Shiyun's thoughts were pulled back, and Qin Lianyi went to open the door.
Shen Sijun took the local prefect into the room, the prefect had a simple and honest face, walked to Xie Shiyun a few steps away, bowed and saluted, "See the princess, the princess Wanfu Jin'an." ”
"No courtesy." Xie Shiyun stretched out her hand and motioned for him to get up.
"Princess Xie."
"This time I came to Lingzhou to investigate." Xie Shiyun took a sip of tea.
"I wonder what happened to the princess?" The prefect bowed again and asked.
Xie Shiyun lifted her eyes to look at him, with a touch of pain in her eyes, "Commander Xie has an accident, and I came here to investigate the cause this time." ”
"What! Commander Xie has an accident? The prefect was very shocked, with an anxious look on his face, and said firmly: "Princess, I don't know what happened to Commander Xie?" It's a pity that the official position is humble and can't help much, but if the princess is in need, the lower official will never give up! ”
The look in the prefect's eyes was extremely serious, and his face was firm, he was a straightforward and reproducible person, Xie Shiyun had a general understanding of the prefect in his heart.
"If the local people know that something happened to Commander Xie, they must be very sad, when Commander Xie pacified the Xiongnu rebellion, it was to save the people from fire and water, and the people love and respect Commander Xie very much." When the prefect said this, the look on his face was full of respect and yearning.
Hearing this, Xie Shiyun was very pleased, she didn't expect Xie Wen to win the hearts of the people of Lingzhou so much, "Commander Xie is so loved by the people, as his eldest sister, this princess is also very pleased, you can rest assured, this princess will definitely ensure that Commander Xie is fine." ”
