Chapter Ninety-Seven: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (18)
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows and looked at this scene, only feeling surprised in her heart. How did such a resolute and cold-blooded organization reap so many loyal dead soldiers? It's incredible!
However, they care so much, which means that there must be a lot of these things lying on the ground, and the opportunity is so rare, Xiao Yuexi doesn't want to give up like this.
She moved, lifted the knife to separate the man's weapon, glanced at the dying man on the ground, and picked it up without saying a word to leave-there was only this one alive on the ground, and it didn't look like it could be saved, but Xiao Yuexi didn't think it was a thankless deal, and protected this half-dead person for a long time.
Until the young man in charge of extinguishing the mouth on the other side showed impatience, Xiao Yuexi suddenly became difficult, threw the half-dead man as if he didn't care, and pounced in the stunned gaze of the other party, and subdued him with three strikes and five divisions, so fast that people didn't have time to react.
Xiao Yuexi didn't look at his expression either, picked up the rope they had dropped just now, tied him up firmly, and then rudely pinched his chin to force him to open his mouth, and after carefully examining it, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Yo! Don't you play with biting the poison sac? β
The young man glared at her with a grim face.
Xiao Yuexi stopped looking at him and sat on the ground a few feet away from him. The sound of the fight outside had already turned faint and became intense, Xiao Yuexi was a little concerned about the sick master behind the scenes, but her overdrawn physical strength did not allow her to act without permission.
Luckily, someone was looking for them soon. Xiao Yuexi was obviously stunned when she saw the hurried figure, and then said hurriedly: "Why are you here?" What about the Wind Maiden? β
It was none other than Riding the Wind.
Chengfeng's eyes were much more eager than Xiao Yuexi's, and it seemed that as soon as he found it, he was searching for Xiao Yuexi's traces in one courtyard after another, and now that he saw a living person, his heart was still too late to let go.
Xiao Yuexi's face was as white as snow, and her clothes were a little messy, although she couldn't see any blood, but just looking at the blood on her hands and the clothes that looked wet, she knew that she was not lightly injured.
Chengfeng almost couldn't lift it in one breath, so he hurriedly rushed up and said, "Miss Feng has been sent back to the cottage by her subordinates, how are you, madam?" β
Xiao Yuexi exhaled, and the string that had been tight was finally loosened, and everyone felt a little prostration. Xiao Yuexi said without much energy: "Find someone to bring him back-oh!" And that. She said as she pointed to the man she had left behind and still breathing. Take them back together, and don't let them die. β
Chengfeng said angrily and urgently: "Don't worry about these trivial things!" The subordinates carry you out first. β
Xiao Yuexi shook her head: "No, I can go by myself, you let me rest for a while......" She saw that a few more people hurriedly came over, and Chengfeng instructed them to take those two people away so that they could take care of them. Chengfeng didn't follow out again, but stood next to Xiao Yuexi and guarded, waiting for her to recover and walk on her own.
However, he couldn't help but read: "My subordinates feel that you need to treat your wounds as soon as possible." β
"It's okay!" Xiao Yuexi waved her hand as if she didn't care and asked, "How did you come here?" How's Wind Maiden? β
Chengfeng glanced at her, and after a pause, he replied reluctantly: "The subordinates carried the wind girl all the way and never encountered any danger, and when they were about to arrive at the cottage, they finally ran into their own people, and the wind girl said that you may use the fireworks, so let the subordinates return the same way as soon as possible and wait." The people she brought were all from her subordinates, and it was not difficult for her subordinates to find them, and they immediately rushed to see the fireworks. β
Xiao Yuexi picked up the long knife in her hand, supported her body and slowly stood up. Chengfeng saw her swaying heart trembling, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was stopped by her. Xiao Yuexi asked calmly, "Do you have a horse?" Find a few people and send me back first. β
Chengfeng looked at her in amazement and asked, "Can you still ride a horse?" β
Xiao Yuexi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and proved with practical actions that although she was injured, she was still not a soft-footed shrimp.
Chengfeng was not at ease, but he needed to be in charge of the affairs here, so he had to carefully select more than a dozen of his own henchmen, and escort Mrs. Xiao back.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuexi's spirit was raised for the most part, and she solemnly instructed Chengfeng: "The mastermind behind the scenes is not so easy to catch, don't be led by his nose." The people in this Zhuangzi are more critical, and if they are handled properly, they are enough to drink a pot of things that pretend to be ghosts! Do a good job, the day when we will return to Beijing is not far off. β
Chengfeng was shocked when he heard this, and after respectfully waving his hands, he turned around and walked away in good spirits. He is the person who can't wait to return to Beijing as soon as possible, following Mrs. Xiao these days is really too tempering, if he continues like this, he can go crazy!
If you go on a horse, the road from the back mountain to the cottage is actually not far, but Xiao Yuexi's injury is bumping on the horse's back, and her energy is getting worse and worse. I don't know what supported her to finish this way, until she reached the gate of the cottage, she could still get off the horse calmly, and then she was short and almost fell.
Su Su, who was waiting outside the door, saw it and hurriedly rushed up to help her, this time, she didn't refuse, just asked softly, "Why did you come here?" β
Su Su was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he choked his throat and said: "It's a message from Lord Chengfeng, the original intention was to let me take care of that girl, and when I heard that you haven't come back yet, I'll wait for you here." Su Su said as she broke Xiao Yuexi's hand from the reins, she clutched the reins and the corner of the saddle, and the whole person was almost leaning on the horse's body, but this was a tall, powerful and well-trained horse, and she was stunned by her so much that she didn't lift the horse's hooves, otherwise Xiao Yuexi would definitely not be able to stand and fall.
Su Su hurriedly helped her to his side, and a bloody aura spread from Xiao Yuexi's body, which frightened Su Su's hands a little.
Xiao Yuexi noticed the abnormality, and couldn't help but turn her head and smile at her, but this smile would only look even paler on her bloodless face at this time. Xiao Yuexi said: "Are you okay?" No, I'm going on my own. β
Su Su hurriedly stood firm, holding Xiao Yuexi's hand tightly and trying to make her feel her strength, but in Xiao Yuexi's eyes, this was more like helplessness and panic. Xiao Yuexi quietly followed her pace and slowly walked in, and greeted Li Ran who came out.
Imperial Physician Li had just finished dealing with one, and then came back with a more serious one, Deng Shi felt that the whole person was not good, and his face was not bothered, so he hurriedly invited this living ancestor who could not have an accident but frequently looked for trouble into the temporarily vacated room.
Li Ran took Xiao Yuexi's pulse, and said after a long time: "Su Su, Miss Chunxiu will come over soon, she will assist you in treating Mrs. Xiao's wounds, and I will first prescribe some recipes for her to replenish qi and nourish blood." β
As he spoke, he poured out a few small porcelain bottles from the medicine box, which were marked with red paper, and he threw them away, so he made a list, explained the use of a few bottles of medicine in detail, and told Su Su to show her when the Chunxiu girl came.
When he left, Xiao Yuexi asked, "Chunxiu girl?" β
Su Su wiped the blood and mud on Xiao Yuexi's face and hands while whispering, "Madame doesn't remember her?" Originally, she helped diagnose and treat patients in the epidemic center, but later the patient was instigated by gangsters to poison, and she was also one of the victims. β
Of course Xiao Yuexi remembered such a person, she didn't ask this: "Why did she come over?" β
Su Su shook his head and said, "I don't know...... Recently, she and her fiancΓ© often look for Imperial Doctor Li, and see what it means, Miss Chunxiu wants to apprentice. β
"Apprenticeship?" Xiao Yuexi imagined Li Ran's style of acting according to his mood, and felt that letting him accept apprentices was purely misleading. She didn't care so much about it, it was very convenient to have a woman at this time, and she was still a woman who knew medical skills. She thought that when she went back, she must let all of their Mu Lan and Mu Kom go to Taiyi Li for advice - uh, Mu Lan is okay, it is a pure waste of time to let her go, so let Mu Lan go.
Thinking like this, she felt a lot lighter. The bandits' nest was ended, and there was such a big windfall in the back mountain, caught those people, and used some means to interrogate the trial, Guo Pengfei would definitely not be able to escape, and even involved a lot of important ministers who participated in it.
Xiao Yuexi didn't dare to have too much hope for finding out who was behind the scenes, it was already a surprise to get this, and if she solved this side, she could return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Back to Beijing......
She has never felt the need to return to Beijing, and she has never been eager to return to Beijing, but she has never been so scared, flustered, and even wanted to leave!
Brocade, means, scheming...... All these things that should not have anything to do with her were in the walls of that luxurious palace, why did she desperately want to go back? The answer was imminent, but she didn't dare to say it.
These days, she doesn't know how many sneezes the Emperor pronounces, and she never knows what position to put herself in. Either way, that kind of life is not for her, is it?
The plan to escape only presented a blink of an eye in his mind, and he was immediately killed by Xiao Yuexi.
She once proudly came from behind the gate, but now it is a problem for her. She still has her brother and sister-in-law, and there are so many people in the Hou Mansion, she can't implicate them because of her own selfishness and be spurned by others with her.
And, does she really want to run? Xiao Yuexi calmly asked herself in her heart, and then replied with a sneer: Don't be stupid, if you want to run, you won't miss countless opportunities!
Yes, she had many opportunities to leave, and she wanted to leave more than once, but at the last moment of making a decision, Mu Yunqing's harmless little face always appeared in her mind, the breathtaking eyes when she was focused, and his earnest call, playful, affectionate, and helpless...... Lingering.
