Chapter 84: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (5)

Chengfeng frowned, if his wife really went down the mountain at this time, what would happen if he learned that they were going up the mountain? Won't you come back to find someone, right?

As soon as this possibility popped up, it grew into a towering tree with lush foliage in Chengfeng's heart, and it could no longer be waved.

According to what this bandit said, then they have been delayed in the cottage for so long, I wonder if his wife has already entered the cottage at this time!

He glanced at Kong Wu, who was looking at him with a courteous face at this moment, as if he had finished explaining everything and begging the hero to let him live. Chengfeng took the sword without saying a word, Kong Wu didn't have time to thank him, and was knocked unconscious for the second time in a day, the difference from the last time was that Chengfeng didn't bother to care about his life or death, and he didn't have any action to connect a hand, so he fell to the ground with a "poof", and called the man to return to the cottage the same way.

——————

Xiao Yuexi's idea was very simple, she and Chengfeng didn't bring too many people, and they didn't dare to swagger around the cottage, so they could only create some chaos to divert the attention of the bandits and wait for an opportunity to act.

How can he create chaos that diverts everyone's attention, all Xiao Yuexi can think of is to do things in Tie Ying's residence. Before she went up the mountain, she specially asked people to carry some fire oil, intending to burn down his house.

There was no one around Iron Eagle's residence, and by the time the bandits found out, the fire was already a little uncontrollable.

"What's going on?"

"There's no light here, why is it on?"

"I don't know! Is there anyone in there? ”

……

There are no people, Xiao Yuexi specially went to the dark room to take a look before setting the fire, there was nothing new, the dark and damp environment was not a place to store things, those bookshelves and wardrobes were empty, not only was there nothing, but the wood was also hollowed out by insects and ants, or rotten, and could not be used.

However, this slightly damp wood, poured with ignition oil, is very resistant to burning.

Seeing that the cottage is getting more and more chaotic, a large number of people are running to fight the fire, and no one cares if there are one or two more faces in the crowd.

Xiao Yuexi looked around like no one around, and then took a look at Chengfeng, who heard the wind and came to try his luck.

“…… Madam?! ”

"Shh Xiao Yuexi pressed his index finger against his lips to signal him to silence, and said neatly: "Go down the mountain first!" ”

Chengfeng hurriedly followed, turned so many corners, and finally saw their wife, at this time he was about to cry with joy, and swore in his heart that he would ask the master to take this person away when he went back, and he would never dare to serve this ancestor again!

Because of this fire, it was much easier for Xiao Yuexi and the others to go out than when they sneaked in, all the way down the mountain, back to the place where the horse was parked, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yuexi glanced at Chengfeng, but still didn't say anything.

What could she say? People are also acting on orders, for the sake of her safety.

Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Yuexi awkwardly, and said sullenly: "It's that the subordinates are acting too impulsively." ”

"It's okay!" Xiao Yuexi smiled, paused and asked, "By the way, how did you settle those hostages?" ”

Chengfeng was stunned: "Huh? What hostages? ”

Xiao Yuexi understood, when he rode the wind up the mountain, the hostages had not yet been sent to the epidemic station. She smiled and said, "It's me who is confused, let's go back first." ”

"Y-uh......"

Chengfeng was going to follow, but suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Xiao Yuexi.

Xiao Yuexi asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Before the subordinates came down, I was afraid that something would change halfway, so I sent a message to Miss Feng, she was on the side of the state, and she might not be able to catch up for a while, so the subordinates went to send a letter to explain the situation here."

Xiao Yuexi waved his hand speechlessly, signaling him to hurry up. I thought sadly in my heart: This unreliable image of her has been ingrained in Chengfeng's heart.

When I returned to the epidemic center, the sky was almost dawn, and after tossing all night, Xiao Yuexi was too tired to do anything, I originally wanted to find Li Ran to ask His Royal Highness King Xian about the situation and went to sleep, but after looking around, I didn't find anyone, in the medicine storehouse, a small servant was dozing off the stove of decoction of medicine, and when he opened his eyes, he immediately felt energetic when he saw Xiao Yuexi, and hurriedly stood up and waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Xiao, are you back?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yuexi frowned and asked, "What about Imperial Doctor Li?" And His Royal Highness King Xian? ”

The little guy said, "Oh! Imperial Physician Li said that the epidemic was not conducive to recuperation, and he had already brought His Royal Highness King Xian back to Lord Huang's mansion. ”

Xiao Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to the Huangfu to have a look, when she turned around and asked as if she had thought of something, "How about those women and children sent in the afternoon?" ”

Xiaowu: "All settled down, most of them have suffered some skin trauma, a few frail children have some cold, Imperial Doctor Li has already prescribed medicine, and they are all resting in the epidemic center now......"

Xiao Yuexi was completely relieved and left without looking back.

The epidemic station is not far from Huangfu, Xiao Yuexi asked the people in the Zangfeng Pavilion who followed him all the way to rest and the people in the Zangfeng Pavilion who had found him all night, and there happened to be a few people from the Zangfeng Pavilion on duty in the epidemic station, Xiao Yuexi ordered two to take away, and ran back to the Huangfu on horseback.

His Royal Highness King Xian's condition was much more serious than she thought, Li Ran had been busy all night, and he hadn't snatched him back from the Hades Palace, and His Royal Highness King Xian's already excessively white face had no good color at the moment.

Xiao Yuexi couldn't help, and he didn't dare to make trouble for Li Ran, he was so busy that he didn't even have the time to talk to her, so Xiao Yuexi didn't bother, and retreated after taking a look.

When Zhao Rong heard that Xiao Yuexi was back, he hurriedly came out of the room, his eyes were dark, and he obviously had no sleep all night.

"What about the eagle?" Xiao Yuexi asked.

Zhao Rong: "It's locked up in the dungeon, you're tired all night, go and rest first." ”

Xiao Yuexi was originally sleepy, but after seeing Mu Yanyu's situation, where could she still sleep? She glanced at Zhao Rong, only nodded and said, "Okay, Second Brother Zhao has also worked hard, hurry up and rest." ”

The room arranged for her at that time has been empty until now, and there are still a few changes of clothes she left behind, Xiao Yuexi changed her clothes, sat at the table and wrote a letter.

She briefly explained the situation here, and did not mention that His Royal Highness King Xian was seriously ill, but only said that she had found someone and would be able to go back soon.

After loading the letter, let the people from Zangfeng Pavilion send it to Mu Yunqing as quickly as possible, and he couldn't help but run to see the situation of King Xian again.

Several medicine boys were busy coming in and out, and Xiao Yuexi stood at the door and waited, until a medicine boy came out again and said to her, "Mrs. Xiao, Imperial Doctor Li invites you in." ”

Xiao Yuexi walked to the inner room, Li Ran was washing his face on the side, His Royal Highness Xianwang on the couch was breathing weakly and evenly, as if he was asleep, and there was a trace of blood on his face.

Li Ran took off the handkerchief from the shelf, wiped the water on his face, glanced at Xiao Yuexi and said, "After tossing all night, don't you have to sleep?" ”

Xiao Yuexi didn't feel anything, in the first few years of investigating secret cases, she often didn't sleep for three or four days, for fear of missing any details, this bit of fatigue is really nothing.

She ignored Li Ran's ridicule, and only said: "I sent the news of finding His Royal Highness King Xian to the capital, and I didn't tell him that His Royal Highness King Xian was seriously ill, and I always felt that you could handle it, so I didn't let him bear the useless heart." ”

When Li Ran heard this, he didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh for a while, and he squeezed out an expression on his face that he wanted to laugh or not, and said helplessly: "Are you an immortal when I am?" ”

"The gods can't talk about it, but the gods are pretty much the same." Xiao Yuexi said in a flat tone. "Really, Hidden Saint?"

The last three words, Xiao Yuexi said word by word with great certainty.

Li Ran glanced at her with some surprise, and said slowly: "The hat is not buttoned randomly, why did I have something to do with that miracle doctor who escaped from the world?" ”

"What's the point?" Xiao Yuexi said. "I know so much about it, I won't say anything more if you say more."

Li Ran sighed and muttered dissatisfiedly: "How could someone surnamed Mu fall in love with you like this?" It's not interesting at all. ”

Xiao Yuexi: "......"

Although she had some guesses before, it was confirmed that it could still surprise her.

At the beginning, Xiao Yuexi felt that there was something wrong with Li Ran's natural arrogance, it was not a rigid and self-contained arrogance, but a temperament that had been cultivated invisibly over the years.

In addition, Mu Yunqing pulled him into the Tai Hospital and sent him to the epidemic area, obviously he only disliked it on the lips, but he trusted his medical skills very much in his heart. After understanding Mu Yunqing's essence, Xiao Yuexi knew very well that he would not easily trust anyone, otherwise he would not be able to do it to this extent today.

So Xiao Yuexi was even more curious about Li Ran's identity, and made a lot of speculations in private.

In the end, the self-proclaimed "hidden" escapist became the most suspicious object.

"Hidden" medical skills are indeed very high, but I have a quirk, he does not like to guard an acre of land, the comfortable life of seeing doctors all day, since his reputation spread, I have never heard of him staying in the same place for more than a month.

He never waited for patients to find him, but **** "looking for a disease", over the years, he has treated many diseases, whether it is incurable diseases, or common typhoid fever, catch up with the treatment, the reward depends on his mood.

Later, the man disappeared.

For more than three years, there has been no news about the "hidden" haunt, and people once suspected that the hidden saint had encountered something on the way to "find a doctor" and had died.

Regarding the version of the cause of his death, Xiao Yuexi had heard no less than ten, and when she thought about it at this time, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you dead?" ”

Li Ran seemed to have been stepped on with a sore foot, and said with a hideous face: "Then I have to ask your man, what kind of heart is An's!" ”

The originally teasing gaze froze when he heard a certain three words, Xiao Yuexi's face quietly flushed, and he coughed dryly: "How is His Royal Highness King Xian?" ”

It's just that Li Ran's gaze happened to fall on King Xian, and thoughtfully, he didn't see Xiao Yuexi's expression.
