Chapter 4: All the Run
"Whew"!
The long sword sliced through the air, bringing a murderous aura.
"Xia Yunting, take your life!"
Rong Zhi hugged Xia Yunting and rolled to the side, dodging the blow.
The long sword sank into the grass and was pulled out with a "snort".
Zhang Can raised his sword to stab, just took two steps, suddenly stopped moving, and the whole person stiffened in place.
His eyes looked at Rong Zhi, and they were full of shock.
"You ......"
The sword fell, and two blood streaks flowed down the corners of his mouth, staining the grass under his feet red.
Underneath Zhang Can's Adam's apple, a long silver needle sank deep into it.
Rong Zhi withdrew her hand and turned her head to look at Xia Yunting.
"Your subordinate is far worse than you."
Xia Yunting was a little surprised, he didn't even notice when she made a move.
He turned to Zhang Can and said in a cold tone:
"Sure enough, it's you."
Hatred burst out of Zhang Can's eyes.
Xia Yunting sneered.
"No wonder we went back to the Imperial City for a month, and we experienced no less than twenty assassinations, obviously our strength is not bad, and the defense is also very well deployed, but every time the assassin can easily enter, I guess there is an inner ghost, I didn't expect it to be you!"
"It's me...... What's the matter, Xia Yunting...... You, the time of death...... It's here. ”
"I didn't expect it, I've known each other for more than 20 years...... The brothers, too, betrayed you...... Hehehe......"
Every time Zhang Can said a word, he spit out a mouthful of blood, but he still stared at Xia Yunting coldly with his last strength.
He tried to pick up the sword on the ground, but found that he couldn't even move his fingers.
Xia Yunting got up a little slowly, came to Zhang Can, and raised his hand to land on Zhang Can's face.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhang Can's eyes were horrified.
As if he wanted to determine something, Xia Yunting stroked every inch of skin on his face, and then slowly moved behind his ears.
Rong Zhi looked at this strange scene in a daze, and she rubbed her arms.
Does Xia Yunting have any special fetishes?
But his expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to think he was doing anything strange.
"Ahh
Zhang Can screamed, and his face was actually peeled off, revealing another completely unfamiliar face inside.
"Disguise!"
Xia Yunting's brows relaxed, and a murderous aura rose in his eyes.
Seeing that he was exposed, "Zhang Can" was a little weak-hearted, and he raised his voice:
"Don't you want to know where the real Zhang Can is? He...... Belch! ”
Before the words fell, "Zhang Can" froze, looked down at the long sword inserted into his abdomen, and opened his mouth to highlight a mouthful of blood.
His eyes gradually became distracted, and then he lowered his head and died.
Xia Yunting let go of his hand and answered the question he had just asked.
"I don't want to know."
Rong Zhi shuddered, and suddenly felt that the night was a little cold.
And the source of the cold air is Xia Yunting, who is five steps away.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Xia Yunting's eyes were looking at his side.
Seeing that she was dumbfounded, Xia Yunting raised his eyebrows: "Scared? ”
"No ......"
Rong Zhi's mind came to mind Xia Yunting's action of unmasking just now, so eager.
He's in ...... Scared?
Rong Zhi suppressed the cranky emotions in her heart.
"Are you deliberately revealing a flaw to test him?"
Xia Yunting began to check whether there was any evidence on "Zhang Can", and replied casually: "The poisoning is real." ”
"What about the needle?"
Xia Yunting took out the silver needle and handed it over.
Rong Zhi took it and glanced at the moonlight.
Unfortunately, the moonlight was too dim to see anything at all, so she sniffed it again, only to smell a pungent sour smell.
"I can't be sure what kind of poison this is for the time being, looking at the pulse, the effect of the drug has not yet fully attacked, but the poison has begun to spread, at most seven days, if you are not treated, you will die of heart failure."
Xia Yunting's face remained unchanged, as if what he heard was not something about his life.
He asked, "Are you a doctor?" ”
"Yes."
"Where's the tutelage?"
Xia Yunting slowed down the movements in his hands.
"Imperial City, Divine Doctor Jiang."
"yes......"
Xia Yunting didn't speak again, sped up his speed, and quickly took out a serpentine token from Zhang Can's body.
He glanced back and forth at the token, and finally took it into his arms.
"Who are they?"
"The killer organization on the rivers and lakes, the specifics are not clear."
Xia Yunting was about to continue the inspection, when a long cylindrical object suddenly rolled out of "Zhang Can".
Before the two of them could see it clearly, the thing suddenly flew into the sky with a "boom", and exploded a colorful circle in the sky.
"It's a flare!"
Both reacted at the same time.
Xia Yunting's eyes sank, and he quickly turned over and got on the horse, pulling Rong Zhi up as well.
"You can't go back to the Imperial City, if you're not afraid, just come with me."
"Don't be afraid!"
Rong Zhi replied.
Isn't it just to avoid pursuit, and it's not like I haven't experienced it in my previous life.
However, half an hour later.
"Xia Yunting! You've dug someone's ancestral grave! How many assassins! ”
Looking at the black-clothed man behind him who was dressed uniformly and neatly as if he had been born in a mother's womb, Rong Zhi was so angry that he scolded.
Not only did they chase and kill, but they even used bows and arrows!
The dense rain of arrows flew over, and the two of them couldn't deal with it at all, and several times the arrows grazed Rong Zhi's ears.
Rong Zhi regretted it in her heart, this was really a super big trouble, wouldn't she have been shot to death before she returned to the Medicine King Valley?
Xia Yunting didn't speak, but kept urging Xiao Hei to speed up.
Xiao Hei is a BMW that has been on the battlefield, and his speed is extremely fast, but the pursuers behind him are also on horseback, and he has not fallen behind.
Rong Zhi felt a burst of murderous aura, she raised her hand and grabbed an arrow in her hand, and when she broke it hard, the arrow broke into two.
"It's endless! Xia Yunting, hurry up! ”
"Drive!"
Xiao Hei hissed, and rode away, the scenery on both sides began to retreat rapidly, and only the sound of hunting wind was left in their ears, and they temporarily left the rain of arrows behind.
Rong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally got rid of it."
Xia Yunting in front of him was crooked and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately Rong Zhi scooped him up in time.
There was an extra piece of warmth on her hand, and Rong Zhi withdrew her hand and saw the blood stains on the back of her hand.
Suffered, the toxicity began to spread.
Rong Zhi took the reins and tried to slow down, but unfortunately Xiao Hei didn't listen to the call at all now, and his speed didn't slow down at all, not to mention, and even sped up.
"Blackie! Stop, if you don't stop, your master will die! ”
All she answered was the dense sound of horses' hooves.
It was already afternoon when Blackie stopped.
Rong Zhi looked at the reckless mountains and forests in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
This is...... Where?
Xiao Hei actually sent the two of them to the mountains, and Xiao Hei seemed to know the way, with a very strong purpose, without hesitation in the middle.
And next to them, there is a cave......
Rong Zhi patted Xiao Hei's horse face: "You are a jing, right?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, knelt on the ground and rubbed the unconscious Xia Yunting.
Xia Yunting's brows tightened, and he let out a painful snort.
Rong Zhi frowned, the toxicity was a little more powerful than she imagined.
After dawn, Rong Zhi observed the poison needle again, judging from the unique light blue residue, it was a poison called Seven Days Poison, which poisoned the meridians, and for those who practiced martial arts, the poison spread faster, and if they didn't get the antidote within seven days, they would die painfully.
Coincidentally, Xia Yunting's father's subordinates also had this poison at the beginning.
Rong Zhi in the previous life did not find a solution, and let the patient die in vain, and it took Rong Zhi thirteen years in this life to finally develop an antidote prescription.
It is unfortunate that Xia Yunting was poisoned by this kind, but meeting her Rong Zhi is a blessing in misfortune.
Rong Zhi dragged Xia Yunting to the cave.
Inside the cave was a messy pile of rubble, but it gave off a foul smell, like ...... The smell of mass graves.
Rong Zhi wrinkled her nose, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong with this place, but now, there was no other choice.
The Assassins weren't sure when they would catch up, so it was important to find a place to hide first.
Xia Yunting's eyes were closed, his handsome face showed a gray look, and his breathing was a little messy.
Rong Zhi checked his pulse, secretly said "not good", and then clicked on a few acupuncture points on his body.
Xia Yunting's face looked better.
"I'm going to pick up the medicine."
Rong Zhi came out of the cave and saw that Xiao Hei was still outside, thought about it, and led Xiao Hei to the hillside in the distance.
"I'm sorry Xiao Hei, Xia Yunting is injured now, if those assassins really come, I can only grieve you to cover up here."
Rong Zhi tied Xiao Hei to a tree, Xiao Hei grinded his hooves, and began to bow his head and eat grass.
Rong Zhi began to look for it in the mountains.
For Rong Zhi, who has traveled all over the world and tasted all kinds of herbs in her previous life, the mountain is a treasure trove of natural medicinal materials, and all kinds of grasses that look similar on the outside will automatically carry their names in Rong Zhi's eyes.
"Herb dew, heavenly fairy, thousands of years of snow, Yunlin flowers...... Strange, why is there no Yunlin flower? ”
Rong Zhi pursed her lips, this is the most important medicinal material for making an antidote, without Yunlin Flower, even if there is a remaining antidote, it can only temporarily alleviate the toxicity.
She had to temporarily pick up the remaining medicinal herbs, and was about to look for them in another place, when she suddenly heard a rustling sound from the grass in the distance.
Rong Zhi thought it was a pursuer, pushed through the grass, and found that it was a young man.
The man, dressed in a long robe, looked like a scholar, and he was carrying a medicine basket on his back, and he was looking for it with his head down.
It looks like I'm here to collect medicine.
Rong Zhi didn't alarm him, and went back with the rest of the medicinal materials first.
Xia Yunting was confused, he was obviously in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, his brows were twisted, and his hands were clutched to the ground.
Rong Zhi helped him up, made him face him, grabbed his collar with her right hand, and pulled it down with a single pull, revealing a large piece of pectorals inside.
Xia Yunting was awake for a moment, and a suspicious flush appeared on his face.
"You...... Do? ”
"Poison."
Rong Zhi took out a dagger from his waist and slashed Xia Yunting's chest without hesitation.
In an instant, blood came out, and it was black blood!
Rong Zhi put her hand on the side of Xia Yunting's neck, and used her internal force to guide the poisonous blood, so that the poisonous blood flowed out along the wound.
When Xia Yunting's clothes were soaked with poisonous blood, his face was a little better.
"Thank you."
He wanted to put his clothes on, but found that the clothes were dirty, so he had to withdraw his hand, and for the first time felt a little embarrassed by the scene of healing.
Rong Zhi was unaware of this awkward atmosphere.
"I just went out to collect medicine, and found that there was a lack of important medicinal materials, so I can only relieve the toxicity for you, but I can't detoxify, I found some medicinal materials to suppress the toxicity, and when it is safe outside, we will find a place to boil the medicine."
Xia Yunting nodded, having no objection to Rong Zhi's decision.
This kind of inexplicable trust not only did not reassure Rong Zhi, but made her feel a little weird.
In her imagination, people like Xia Yunting should have a lot of doubts.
"I'll go out and see if there are any pursuers."
Rong Zhi came to the door of the cave, but suddenly stopped.
She heard footsteps, and there were many, and they were approaching in the direction of the cave.
"Xia Yunting, someone is coming!"
