46 · Tremble in the balance

Even if I become a completely different me, I am still me. 】

Xi Que Yi fell in the wet earth, her embroidered clothes were stained with mud, and the black and shiny green silk was stuck together, completely lacking the demeanor of everyone's ladies, as if she had been thrown away.

Chen Jian hurriedly ran to her side and put his fingers on the side of her neck.

The pulse was steady, but I passed out.

Chen Jian got up and looked around.

After a few days, the barren fields full of dead grass have been renewed, and everywhere is full of vitality, and the herbs planted a few days ago have a tendency to break the ground and grow, and the new shoots in autumn are very rare. Occasionally, a few earthworms weave through the soft and fertile red earth, and one of them crawls up Xiqueyi's cheek slowly.

Chen Jian bent down and threw the earthworm somewhere else.

After the heavy rain, Xi Queyi's footprints walking back and forth in the fields have been washed away, and her attackers are nowhere to be seen.

Sure enough, just as I expected, the killer came to Xiqueyi.

Chen Jian moved the fainted Xi Que Yi to the wooden chair on the side, and then walked to the high wall of the field.

The moss-covered stone wall was a few years old, mottled with the wear marks of time, and the rain ran down the groove to the foot of the wall, and Chen Jian stroked the cold wall with his hand.

Moss, nicks, sword marks...... It's all very old traces.

He continued to fumble and finally found what he was looking for.

"It's footprints!"

He found a trail of soil.

Just after the heavy rain, it is impossible for the walls to be stained with dirt that is not solid, unless someone has come.

Obviously, the killer was here just now, because Chen Jian came quite in time, causing the killer to be helpless for a while, so he had to step on the wall and escape, temporarily letting Xi Que Yi go.

Chen Jian thought about whether to follow the footprints of the killer. Considering that there is still a light rain, the trail fades with the passage of time, and besides, if this is the other party's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, the killer will come back and forth for a while, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

When fighting an unknown enemy, you must not be in a hurry, you must take it one step at a time.

Chen Jian picked up Xi Que Yi and left the field.

"Cai Gong, someone went out just now?" he began to shout from afar.

"No—who is that?" Cai Gong saw a dirty woman lying behind Chen Jian.

"It's a long story," Chen Jian said, "She's Xi Que Yi of the Business Federation, so let's take her to see the doctor first." ”

"Ah, good. ”

When the two got closer, Cai Gong finally saw the woman's appearance clearly, and recognized that she looked similar to Xi Que Xian.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Why are all the beauties everywhere related to Chen Jian, so is the senior sister, so is Xi Que Yi of the Business Federation, and there are thousands of poisonous women......

They soon arrived at the infirmary, and after setting Xi Que Yi up, Cai Gong asked, "What happened? How do you know that someone wants to kill her?"

Chen Jian felt the need to be open and honest with Cai Gong, and this young man with a sense of justice was definitely willing to help him.

He said: "To put it simply, I have recently been investigating the truth about the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Gate, so there is a killer who is trying to take my life in the ring. I was still wondering if the killer had another purpose, and now that Xi Que Yi has also been attacked, it has been confirmed that the killer is indeed here for me to investigate the truth of the extermination. ”

"But how did Xi Que Yi have anything to do with Gu Jingmen?

"She is a disciple of Liu Xingjue, and Liu Xingjue did not die on the night of the destruction - his whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Liu Xingjue's whereabouts are unknown?!"

"This is the result of your recent investigation in the Wudang Trace Hall. Chen Jian said in a low voice, "The matter of the Ancient Mirror Gate is quite complicated, and I need your help." ”

"Of course, the enemy dares to go to Wudang's territory to commit murder. Cai Gong said indignantly, "I must find out their true bodies!"

"Of course it's good that you have this intention, but I have to warn you," Chen Jian's gaze slid to Xi Queyi's hospital room, "This is dangerous dirty work. ”

"I understand. Cai Gong showed an expression of who else was left to me, and nodded solemnly.

"I borrowed the field house in the herb garden for her use," Chen Jian simply explained the matter, so as not to have misunderstandings in the future, "She needs to plant herbs to confirm her thoughts, as for what she knows, she hasn't told me yet, only after the herbs are harvested." ”

"So troublesome?" Cai Gong frowned.

"Yes, she made this decision in order not to get involved in right and wrong as much as possible. Alas, but it still leads to death," Chen Jian's tone was not only a sigh, but a little more joy—"It's come to this, and when she wakes up, she will definitely tell us about it directly." ”

Cai Gong agreed: "The killer has already targeted her, and there is no point in her dragging it out." ”

"I'm guarding her here, can you help Xue Rong Protector send some guards?"

"Xue Rong Protector, that guy who has always kept a straight face?" Cai Gong didn't want to see him.

"He's investigating the matter of the Ancient Mirror Gate with me, you can just tell him about the situation, and it's best to let him come in person. ”

Cai Gong sighed: "Okay, I'll go find him." ”

"I'm sorry for you. ”

Chen Jian sat outside the ward and waited.

As soon as the doctor came out, he immediately greeted him.

"How's it going? How did she faint?"

"I didn't suffer any external injuries, I was knocked out by the exercises. ”

"Internal injuries...... How long will it take to wake up?"

"The injury was very light, about half an hour. ”

"Yes, thank you, doctor. Chen Jian walked into the ward.

The medicine girl had just washed Xi Queyi's whole body and helped her change into clean clothes. If you look closely, her appearance is really exquisite, and her slender eyelashes are slightly raised, which is a little playful.

Chen Jian glanced at it a few times, and there was no wave in his heart.

"It's weird......"

Since this morning, he has been surprised by his performance.

He killed someone, beat the other party to a bloody blur, but he didn't vomit like in the TV series, he saw Xi Que Yi lying in the mud, he didn't immediately lift her up, but made sure she was safe and hung aside, and now, the sleeping beauty was lying in front of him, he didn't have evil thoughts, he just hoped that she would wake up as soon as possible and tell him what had just happened.

I seem to have become a ruthless person.

He thought sadly.

Isn't it true that people's personalities change slowly? Even if they become a completely different me, I am still me.

Chen Jian shook his head and pushed open the window of the ward.

After the rain, the sky is clear, a faint rainbow hangs high in the sky, and the forest that gradually turns yellow and white has more color, and I hope that Xi Que Yi can still see this beautiful scenery when he wakes up.

Chen Jian sat by her window without saying a word, waiting for her to wake up and wait for Xue Rong to arrive.

Xue Rong arrived first.

After he heard the ins and outs of the matter, he immediately gathered several of his most trusted subordinates, took Jiang Kunlun, who was studying in the house, and came to the medical hall together.

"I've heard everything - she hasn't woken up yet?" Xue Rong called out Chen Jian and asked immediately.

"According to the doctor's time, it's almost time. ”
